Doctrine update ruled by the human on 2026-09-05: the agent may submit a science run when the human asks for it in the session, through the project's own sync CLI, recording the job id with cortex.py move ... submitted --run <jobid>.

Unchanged: the checkin door never submits; nothing is submitted unasked; --dry-run reaches nothing; the ruling stays the human's word, written only by cortex.py rule.

Sites: skills/cortex/{SKILL,cortex}.md, AGENTS.md (cortex row), agents/conductors/cortex/AGENTS.md, _cortex.py (comment, docstring, argparse description — no behaviour change), AUTONOMY.md, skills/COMMANDS.md. Companion: PyAutoCortex PR (AGENTS.md).

The doctrine said the conductor never submits and the human types the
submit. The human ruled today (2026-09-05) that the agent may submit a
run when asked for it in the session, through the project's own sync
CLI, recording the job id at once with `cortex.py move ... submitted
--run <jobid>`. Unchanged: the checkin door never submits, nothing is
submitted unasked, --dry-run reaches nothing, and the ruling is the
human's word written only by `cortex.py rule`.

The conductor's module docstring still said "it never submits: the run
is the human's act". Same wording as the rest of the branch: its verbs
never submit; a run is submitted only on the human's ask.

Superseded by #361 — its wording is folded in there in the new task vocabulary; closing unmerged (human decision 2026-09-07).
