Summary

add a durable apprenticeship charter for the active wizard team
name the core skills every wizard needs plus the missing skills by lane
define drills and coaching loops Timmy and Allegro can use to sharpen the team over time

Why

The system had an agent capability audit, but not yet a durable training doctrine for how those wizards should improve.

Code Review: PR #398 — Add wizard apprenticeship charter

Overall Assessment: 🔶 REQUEST CHANGES (minor fix required)

This is a strong doc-only PR that logically extends the user audit from PR #392 into training doctrine. The drills are concrete, the per-wizard training plans are specific, and the anti-goal framing is excellent. One issue needs fixing before merge.

Strengths

Well-scoped purpose: Turns the audit into actionable training without trying to be everything.
Concrete drills with pass conditions: Drills 1-5 (Scope Collapse, Verification First, Boundary Check, Duplicate Collapse, Review Handoff) are specific enough to actually run, and each has a clear pass condition.
Per-wizard specificity: Each wizard gets "Train harder on" AND "Do not train toward" — prevents homogenization.
Anti-Goal section is the strongest part: "Do not train every wizard into the same shape" is the right instinct and prevents misuse of this document.
Coaching loops assign coaching responsibility to the right entities.
Success signals are observable and measurable.

Issues Found

🔴 Local filesystem path leak (Must fix):
Line 10 contains a link to the user audit using a local filesystem path:
```
/Users/apayne/autolora/worktrees/timmy-home/docs/USER_AUDIT_2026-04-04.md
```
This is a developer's local filesystem path that leaked into the document. It should be a repo-relative path like:
```
[USER_AUDIT_2026-04-04.md](USER_AUDIT_2026-04-04.md)
```
This path won't work for anyone else and inadvertently exposes a developer's local directory structure. Fix before merge.
Dependency on PR #392 (Info): This document references USER_AUDIT_2026-04-04.md which is introduced in PR #392. PR #392 should be merged first, or this PR should note the dependency in its description.
No drill cadence or tracking (Minor): The drills are well-defined but there's no guidance on frequency (per-PR? weekly? per-assignment?), who administers them, or how progress is tracked. Consider adding a "Cadence" section or noting this as a future addition.
Coaching loop coverage (Minor): Groq, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Manus, and KimiClaw don't appear in the Coaching Loops section as coaches. This is probably intentional (they're coached, not coaches), but making it explicit would improve clarity.

Security: ⚠️ Minor concern

The leaked local path (/Users/apayne/autolora/worktrees/) is not a security vulnerability per se, but it reveals internal directory structure and development setup. Should be removed.

Spec Compliance: ✅

Properly aligned with strategic priorities (Heartbeat, Harness, Portal).
Downstream from #542 direction shift as stated.
File placed correctly in docs/.

Merge Readiness: 🔶 Fix the local path, then ready to merge

Fix the /Users/apayne/... local path reference (item 1).
Ideally merge PR #392 first since this document depends on it.
After the path fix, this is a clean, valuable addition to the training doctrine.

Blocking review: this doc currently includes a local absolute filesystem link (/Users/apayne/...) in the rendered markdown. That will be broken everywhere except one machine. Please replace it with a repo-relative markdown link before merge.

Follow-up: this one is still mergeable. Review focus should be whether the apprenticeship charter teaches the right missing skills by lane and whether the drills are practical enough for Timmy and Allegro to use as a living coaching tool.

Addressed in dd92ce2. I replaced the leaked local filesystem link with a repo-relative markdown link, so the charter no longer points at a machine-specific /Users/apayne/... path.
