+## 2026-06-10 — Phase 9b: mort converted, PR open
+
+**Done.** mort fully re-based on majordomo on branch
+`majordomo-conversion`: 230 files (+8726/−6211), go-llm/v2 and
+go-agentkit removed from go.mod/go.sum with a clean repo-wide grep,
+`go build`/`go vet` clean, full test suite green (80 packages ok, 0
+failures). Highlights: pkg/logic/llms rebuilt as the choke point
+(registry, lane decorators, convar tier resolver, failover wiring via
+llms.Wire); skillexec/agentexec on majordomo agent loops (critic budget
+via WithMaxStepsFunc, steer, compactor, tool-error guards); runDirect
+special case deleted; scaddy critic redesigned as one-shot multimodal
+Generate; agentkit httpapi replaced by a mort-side server; ~96 tools on
+DefineTool. PR (open, not merged):
+https://gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/mort/pulls/1274
+
+Run note: executed by an 8-agent staged workflow; one mid-run deadlock
+(a cluster agent polling a long-tail package) was broken by converting
+tasks/recipe/summary/cookbook in the main line; one full workflow restart
+after a network outage.
