+Add experiment executor runtime (init/run/log lifecycle, METRIC parser, async benchmark runner, keep/revert git policy) for upstream pi-autoresearch parity. Additive only; existing research subsystem unchanged.

+# Experiment Executor (`@fusion/engine`)
+
+`ExperimentExecutor` provides engine-side parity with pi-autoresearch's init/run/log loop.
+
+## Public API
+
+- `initExperiment(input)`
+  - Creates a new active session and appends a `config` record.
+  - If an active/finalizing session with the same `name` + `projectId` exists, starts a new segment instead.
+- `runExperiment(input, opts?)`
+  - Runs benchmark command asynchronously, parses `METRIC` lines, and returns a transient run result.
+  - Does not persist run records.
+- `logExperiment(input)`
+  - Appends a persisted `run` record with selected outcome.
+  - `keep` commits git changes.
+  - `discard` / `checks_failed` / `errored` can revert to a baseline commit.
+- `getStatus(sessionId)` returns current session status, runs in segment, active handles, and limits.
+- `cancel(runHandle)` aborts an in-flight benchmark run.
+
+## Store Composition (FN-4218)
+
+Executor uses `ExperimentSessionStore` for:
+- session creation/reuse (`createSession`, `startNewSegment`)
+- record append (`appendRecord`)
+- best/kept pointers (`setBestRun`, `recordKept`)
+- run payload commit patching (`updateRecordPayload` additive method)
+
+## METRIC Grammar
+
+Parser accepts:
+
+```regex
+^METRIC\s+([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_.-]*)\s*=\s*(-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?(?:[eE][+-]?\d+)?)\s*(?:\(([^)]+)\))?\s*$
+```
+
+- first valid metric = primary
+- later metrics = secondary
+- dedup by metric name (last-write-wins)
+- denylist: `__proto__`, `constructor`, `prototype`
+- non-finite values are ignored with warnings
+
+## Benchmark Execution Contract
+
+`runBenchmark()` uses non-blocking child process execution (`spawn`, async path):
+- default timeout: 10 minutes
+- default max buffer: 10MB
+- supports `AbortSignal`
+- throttled progress callback (<= every 500ms)
+- when stdout exceeds buffer, full output is written to temp file and returned stdout is truncated to last 64KB
+
+## Keep/Revert Git Policy
+
+Preserved artifacts on revert:
+- `autoresearch.jsonl`
+- `autoresearch.md`
+- `autoresearch.ideas.md`
+- `autoresearch.checks.sh`
+- `autoresearch.config.json`
+- `autoresearch.hooks/`
+
+Behavior:
+- `keep`: stage all + commit (`experiment(<session>): keep <run>` message default)
+- discard/check failures/errors: reset hard to baseline while preserving autoresearch artifacts via stash roundtrip
+
+## Error Taxonomy
+
+- `ExperimentMaxIterationsError` — run attempted after reaching max iterations.
+- `ExperimentGitNotConfiguredError` — keep/revert path requested without configured `GitOps`.
+- `ExperimentRevertConflictError` — stash-pop conflict while restoring preserved artifacts after revert.
+
+## Follow-ups
+
+- FN-4221: CLI/dashboard/pi-extension wiring.
+- FN-4222: finalize workflow (branch/finalization orchestration).

@@ -81,6 +81,11 @@ Rules:
 | Baseline/current best pointers | `baselineRunId`, `bestRunId` |
 | Finalization summary | `finalize` record payload + session status/finalizedAt |
 
+## Store API Notes
+
+- `recordKept(sessionId, runRecordId)` is idempotent and only appends missing run IDs.
+- `updateRecordPayload(recordId, patch)` applies additive payload patches for existing records (used by executor to backfill run commit SHA after keep commits).
+
 ## Follow-ups
 
 - **FN-4219**: executor/orchestrator loop (`init/run/log`) and runtime integration.
