From 141e044a213b935200e3bc80040d287eb7f01de6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mdsmithaustin <15272014+mdsmithaustin@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 14:24:35 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] fix(poteto-mode): count FAIL rounds in merge-gate and pass the resolved repo to gh Autopilot-full step 4 now reads report.failRounds from merge-gate --check. verdict.ts counts distinct Head SHAs of trusted FAIL blocks, a trusted Fail-count reset comment restarts the count, and a Stopped comment keeps the hourly tick from refiling the same issues. Step 4 also defines a recorded run, posts FAIL while a security ask is open, and fixes in-scope security findings forward. Babysit and Opening a PR check the PR body against the PR's full diff at the current head, and a non-owner subagent finalizes the body before it returns the URL. Opening a PR's Forge paragraph passes the resolved owner/repo as -R on every gh call. The watcher's currentPr passes origin's repo and the checked-out branch to gh pr view. Port-owned examples gain -R. Closes #177, closes #169. --- PORTING.md | 3 + skills/deslop/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../poteto-mode/playbooks/autopilot-full.md | 4 +- skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/babysit.md | 4 +- skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md | 2 +- skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md | 10 +- skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/orchestrate.md | 2 +- skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/github.ts | 17 ++ .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-render.ts | 2 +- .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate.ts | 12 ++ .../poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts | 38 ++++ .../poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/host.test.ts | 81 ++++++++ .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-cli.test.ts | 25 +++ .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate.test.ts | 43 +++++ .../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.test.ts | 181 +++++++++++++++++- 15 files changed, 412 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/PORTING.md b/PORTING.md index cea3ab8c..974dd2ae 100644 --- a/PORTING.md +++ b/PORTING.md @@ -55,6 +55,9 @@ Upstream is the source of truth for the workflows themselves. This file records - The GitHub watcher keeps a GitHub Enterprise host (port addition, 2026-10). It reads the host from the origin remote or the PR URL, passes it to every `gh` call as `--repo //` and to GraphQL as `--hostname `, and renders status links on it. An explicit `--owner`, `--repo`, and `--pr` outside a checkout uses `GH_HOST`, else github.com. Upstream assumes github.com. Keep the host through the watcher's context types on sync, and keep the Babysit playbook's `GH_HOST` sentence. - The GitHub watcher (`skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr`) treats every review bot alike, not only Cursor Bugbot: a thread carries `bot: { login, passes } | null`, and `READY` waits while a bot is still a requested reviewer (`WAITING` with `pending-review-bots`), which is how GitHub Copilot code review shows up before it posts. Since 2026-10, `READY` also stops on a bot review of the head commit whose body reports a finding with no thread (the `review-findings` blocker, exit 8), until a PR comment from the PR author or a repository owner, member, or collaborator contains that review's full URL. A per-format parser registry reads Copilot's overview. An unreadable body from Copilot's login blocks, and another bot's unreadable body becomes a note on `READY`. Repos without review bots see no change. Upstream still has `isBugbot`/`bugbotReviewPasses`; on sync, keep the port's shape and re-apply the babysit playbook and triage-reference wording. - Shipping lands GitHub PRs through `scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` (port addition, 2026-10). The lead broke the prose landing gates three times in one week: once it merged before reading a bot's review body, once it missed red CI behind the watcher's first blocker, and once it reported CI it had not read. merge-gate reads the latest trusted verdict block (`Verdict:`, `Head:`, `Patch-id:`, `Docs:`) and recomputes the patch-id. It checks CI, bot review bodies, threads, and mergeability on the current head, reports every failed gate, and merges with `--match-head-commit`. It also refuses a base branch with a merge queue, because `gh pr merge` would only enqueue the PR, and the queue would land it later without rechecking the verdict, the bot reviews, or the open threads. `--override` posts its reason on the PR. On GitHub, Shipping never arms GitHub auto-merge, because it would merge later without these checks; the lead runs merge-gate when the watcher reports `READY`. Upstream lands with a bare `gh pr merge` or arms `--auto`, and has no verdict block. Autopilot-full step 5 also says the full-autonomy grant never approves `--override`, so an owner whose merge-gate run refuses on a merge queue stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate. Keep that sentence on sync. +- Autopilot-full's third-`FAIL` stop is mechanical (port addition, 2026-10, #177). Step 4 reads `report.failRounds` from `scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --check`, which counts the distinct `Head` SHAs of well-formed `FAIL` blocks from trusted commenters through `verdict.ts` and includes the round just posted. A trusted `Fail-count reset: ` comment restarts the count, and a `Stopped:` comment keeps the hourly tick from filing the same follow-up issues again. Step 4 also defines a recorded run as one whose transcript or artifacts are saved where the verdict can cite them. A proven in-scope security finding is fixed forward like any finding, an out-of-scope one goes to the operator per **Ask by default**, and a round with a security ask open posts `FAIL`. The security default is the root's choice under the autopilot grant, and the operator can override it. Upstream's step 4 has no verdict block, no stop, and no security carve-out. Keep all of it on sync. +- Opening a PR and Babysit name the diff a PR body is checked against as "the PR's full diff at the current head" (port edit, 2026-10, #177). Upstream has neither Babysit's body re-check nor Opening a PR's provisional-body rule, so both are port text. The provisional state now also ends when a non-owner subagent returns the PR URL, because that subagent never reports merge-ready. Keep the wording on sync. +- Every `gh` call passes the resolved repository (port addition, 2026-10, #169). Opening a PR's **Forge** paragraph says to resolve `/` from origin's fetch URL and pass it as `-R` on every `gh` call, because `gh` can resolve its default repo to the parent in a fork with an `upstream` remote. The watcher's `currentPr` does the same when `--pr` is absent: it passes origin's repo and the checked-out branch to `gh pr view`, and stops with a pass-`--pr` message on a detached HEAD. The `-R /` examples are added only to port-owned commands: `gh pr view` in Opening a PR's attachment check, `gh pr comment` in Babysit step 8, `gh pr edit` in Orchestrate, `gh pr diff` in Code review, and `gh pr view` in the deslop skill. Upstream-owned example commands (the `--base`, `ready`, and `merge` examples in Opening a PR, Autopilot-stack, Multi-phase plan, Shipping, and the why skill) stay as upstream wrote them, and the **Forge** rule covers them. Keep the rule and the examples on sync. - Two roles beyond upstream's roster: `trail reviewer` (the show-me-your-work reviewer and, since 2026-10, every independent verdict and review; upstream says "a different model family", which has no answer inside one vendor) and `default` (the entry for a spawn whose skill names no role, shipped as `inherit-parent`). Step 1 of the harness skill's Spawn a role sends every role-less spawn through `default`; on sync, keep both roles and the show-me-your-work wording that resolves through `trail reviewer`, and keep the resolver's `--work-model` step that moves it to another allowed model in the work model's family when it matches the working model, or marks it `same-model` when the config allows none in that family. - **Authoring or modifying a skill** sends skill steps through the STE layer of **technical-writing** (port addition, 2026-10). Skill steps are procedures an agent executes. ASD-STE100 was written for procedures. Upstream's authoring guidance names no style standard. On sync, keep the sentence. - **Opening a PR** says how to post PR evidence (port addition, 2026-09). Follow any attachment rule the repo's `AGENTS.md` or PR template sets, upload with `gh … --attach` (gh 2.99.0 or later), never through undocumented endpoints, and confirm each posted URL returns `200` with `gh auth token`. Report an upload blocker only when no gh at 2.99.0 or later is available or a retry fails. Upstream says only to attach videos or screenshots. Keep both the repo-rule clause and the **Attachments** paragraph on sync. diff --git a/skills/deslop/SKILL.md b/skills/deslop/SKILL.md index 69fca1ca..82230012 100644 --- a/skills/deslop/SKILL.md +++ b/skills/deslop/SKILL.md @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ Clean AI slop out of the code a branch changed, and leave behavior unchanged.

The operator reviews and clicks, and no owner merges one. When the operator asks for the protocol or the plan to be stated, deliver the statement and stop. Execution starts only on the operator's explicit go. 2. **Spawn one owner per PR with the full lifecycle and an early trail.** Use the **pstack-harness** skill to resolve the portable roots. Keep their concrete values in private, untracked run state and pass them to every owner. Resolve the forge once for the program. GitHub CLI (`gh`) is the default. If `command -v origin` succeeds and Origin can resolve the repository, use `origin pr ...` for PR create, edit, view, watch, and merge operations. Otherwise stay on `gh` and record the fallback. Never require Graphite (`gt`). One background agent per PR (its own isolated worktree) owns build, the first push, a ready PR, self-proof on the real artifact (the **prove-it-works** principle skill), skeptical Bugbot triage per `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, a slop-strip with the **deslop** skill, a comment review with the **no-comments** skill, a rebase onto current trunk, the babysit loop to green (`playbooks/babysit.md`), and the merge itself. Within about 15 minutes, every owner uses the **show-me-your-work** skill to start a `decisions.tsv` trail, pushes its first branch snapshot, and opens the PR ready, never draft. In a gated repository, follow the gated publish rules in `playbooks/opening-a-pr.md`. Snapshots go to the snapshot ref, the PR opens through `no-mistakes axi run`, and each rebase follows the `rerun` rule there. After that, the owner pushes its branch again after every verifiable unit (hooks on, a WIP commit is fine). Open the PR before self-proof so the URL, decisions, and checks form a durable trail. Keep `decisions.tsv` uncommitted and return it with the reports. As soon as a subagent starts, the owner adds its ID, expected runtime (at least the longest past run of that kind), and state to a `children.tsv` kept the same way. The owner does the first rebase before the code-ready report and babysit, whether or not trunk has drifted. In fix rounds, the owner keeps that merge base. The owner rebases again only at merge prep (step 5), on a `git merge-tree` conflict with trunk, or on a CI failure that comes from a change on trunk. When the shipped code is final, after the slop-strip and the comment review, it reports the code-ready head SHA. It also reports the SHA of each later push that changes the patch. Self-proof, CI, and babysit then run in parallel with the swarm. The owner reports merge-ready with the head SHA when self-proof, CI, and babysit finish. Before a push that starts a round, run the pre-review checks that the repo's AGENTS.md files and rules name for the touched paths. Run them on the committed head. A hook pass is not proof. In an ungated repository, publish each rebase by pushing the owner's own branch with `git push --force-with-lease` after an `ls-remote` check. Never force-push a shared branch. The merge is the one step an owner may not take alone. Step 4 gates it. 3. **Run owners in true parallel and never stack.** Many owners at once when PRs are self-contained: one writer per branch, disjoint files, cross-PR drift absorbed by rebase. Only genuinely overlapping work serializes. Self-contained PRs branch straight off main, and sequenced work is merge-then-branch. One exception: an owner that must split a genuinely dependent change may hold a short private base-branch stack. -4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch. At that SHA, use the **swarm** skill to fan out parallel independent verifiers, and aggregate to one verdict. The merge needs a clean verdict from the round whose patch matches the merge-ready head. Post that verdict on the PR in the four-line block of `playbooks/shipping.md` step 1, so the owner's merge-gate run can read it. Audit the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict. The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists). Audit the diff, distrusting the PR body. Run the audit as two or more review lanes with the full brief. Give each lane one main focus, such as consumer parity with trunk, lifetimes and races, or data and config safety. **Regression lane against trunk.** Run the same load-bearing scenario on current trunk. If trunk does not have the feature, record that fact and gate the behavior the diff adds plus the end state the user waits for instead of pretending trunk can produce it. The live lane is the floor, and a verdict without it is not clean. No merge without the root's clean verdict. When the lanes return, send the owner one fix-forward with every proven finding that falls inside the PR's scope, meaning the issue or request the PR serves, and that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches. For a docs, prompt, or config change, the agent or tool that reads it is the caller. A note that meets this bar is a finding. File every other true finding as a follow-up issue linked from the verdict, including one that only an input the lane invented reaches. Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception and follow **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. Before each fix-forward, count the PR's `FAIL` verdict blocks at distinct `Head` SHAs. At the third, send nothing. Stop the owner, file the open findings as follow-up issues, and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. +4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch.

Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception. A proven one inside the PR's scope goes to the owner in the fix-forward like any finding. One outside it goes to the operator per **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, and the verdict links the ask. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. A round with a security ask open also posts `FAIL`, because the PR is not merge-ready until the operator answers. Post the round's `FAIL` first, then count before the fix-forward. Run `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --check` and read `report.failRounds.count`. `--check` exits 10 when a gate fails, which is not an error here. The count is the distinct `Head` SHAs among well-formed `FAIL` blocks from trusted commenters, read the way `../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts` reads them, and it includes this round. When `report.failRounds.complete` is false, the count is a floor, so read the PR's comments for the rest. At 3 or more, send nothing. Stop the owner, file each open finding as a follow-up issue once, and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. Post one PR comment that starts with `Stopped:` and links the issues. A tick that finds a `Stopped:` comment newer than the PR's latest `FAIL` block files nothing and reports the PR as blocked again. An operator's go-ahead for one more round resets the count. The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and quotes the go-ahead. Only `FAIL` blocks after it count, and the root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. 5. **On a clean verdict the owner merges, and a fresh owner takes the next item.** The owner merges only from a head freshly rebased onto trunk. Merge prep never comes before a round's lanes start, and it ends with a rebase onto current trunk right before the merge. After the merge-prep rebase, the owner reports the new head SHA. CI must pass on that head before the merge, and the patch-id rule decides whether the round's verdict still holds. Once that head is green and its patch-id matches the verdict's under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`, a later trunk move does not force another rebase. Right before the merge, fetch trunk and check that `git merge-tree` of the head against current trunk is clean. Also check that no path in `git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main) origin/main` is a path the PR changes or a path that decides which CI runs for it, such as the repo's CI config paths. If either check fails, rebase again, report the new head SHA, wait for CI to pass on it, and repeat these checks. A new head voids the verdict unless the patch-id is unchanged. The owner squash-merges its own PR through the resolved forge, with `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` on GitHub per `playbooks/shipping.md` step 5, and returns. A fresh owner picks up the next self-contained item from the queue, per poteto-mode's Subagents section. The operator's full-autonomy grant plus the root's clean verdict is the merge authorization that babysitting alone never has. The grant never approves `--override` for any refused gate. When `merge-gate` refuses because the base branch has a merge queue, the owner stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate. Operator-named items stop at merge-ready and wait for the operator's click. -6. **Run the root layer.** A genuinely new raise of a pinned gate or budget value (a limit CI only lets tighten) needs your fresh countersign, granted only after verifier proof. If the operator's grant or standing orders cover approvals, that countersign is the approval. The owner records it in the form that the tool's approval contract allows, with a pointer to the root's countersign. A lane checks the record against that countersign. The root never gives or bypasses an approval that the forge enforces. Absorbing values that already landed on main is drift, not a raise. Run an audit tick over all owners every hour. On the operator's go, use the **pstack-harness** skill's **Loops and wake-ups** section to arm the tick through the harness's loop facility, with a prompt that runs this tick. In Claude Code that is `/loop 1h`. Never leave the cadence to memory or lossy completion notifications. Restore the recorded roots at each tick. Re-read this playbook from trunk with `git -C "${PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT:?}" fetch origin '+refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main' && git -C "$PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT" show 'origin/main:skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/autopilot-full.md'` and audit the operation against it. Fix drift during that tick. If that fetch fails, skip the drift fix for this tick, run the rest of the tick, and record the failed fetch in the trail. Never skip the tick because the fetch failed. Probe each owner with a generic liveness or status check, and collect the decision trails. Count only side effects as progress: commits, pushes, PR or check deltas, and store reports. Side effects do not show convergence, so each tick also applies step 4's third-`FAIL` stop to every PR. Treat a lane that errors, or that passes its expected runtime without a side effect, as stuck. Stand it down and dispatch a replacement at once. Do not wait for a polite return. The tick judges an owner by the pushed branch and the decision trail that step 2 requires, and it replaces an owner whose agent cannot start a turn. Each tick also runs the lane stuck test over the program's agent list, where the platform has one, and over every owner's `children.tsv`. Whether or not a stop works, the root has the owner record each stuck subagent as stuck and, if its work is still needed, replace it. Each replacement that stalls gets the same steps. The root takes both steps when the owner cannot. A stall never proves or drops the work. When merges batch, run a retro pass and a post-merge bot-comment sweep.

An identical second failure means it was never flake, so reclassify and read the child logs instead of retrying blind. A failure in code the diff never touches means a stale base, so check with `git merge-base --is-ancestor` before assuming flake. Report a stale base as needing a rebase instead of burning retries. Only a failure in the diff's own code gets a commit. -8. **Review bots are triaged skeptically, always.** That covers Bugbot, Copilot code review, GitHub Advanced Security, and any other thread whose author is a bot.

This file records - The GitHub watcher keeps a GitHub Enterprise host (port addition, 2026-10). It reads the host from the origin remote or the PR URL, passes it to every `gh` call as `--repo //` and to GraphQL as `--hostname `, and renders status links on it. An explicit `--owner`, `--repo`, and `--pr` outside a checkout uses `GH_HOST`, else github.com. Upstream assumes github.com. Keep the host through the watcher's context types on sync, and keep the Babysit playbook's `GH_HOST` sentence. - The GitHub watcher (`skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr`) treats every review bot alike, not only Cursor Bugbot: a thread carries `bot: { login, passes } | null`, and `READY` waits while a bot is still a requested reviewer (`WAITING` with `pending-review-bots`), which is how GitHub Copilot code review shows up before it posts. Since 2026-10, `READY` also stops on a bot review of the head commit whose body reports a finding with no thread (the `review-findings` blocker, exit 8), until a PR comment from the PR author or a repository owner, member, or collaborator contains that review's full URL. A per-format parser registry reads Copilot's overview. An unreadable body from Copilot's login blocks, and another bot's unreadable body becomes a note on `READY`. Repos without review bots see no change. Upstream still has `isBugbot`/`bugbotReviewPasses`; on sync, keep the port's shape and re-apply the babysit playbook and triage-reference wording. - Shipping lands GitHub PRs through `scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` (port addition, 2026-10). The lead broke the prose landing gates three times in one week: once it merged before reading a bot's review body, once it missed red CI behind the watcher's first blocker, and once it reported CI it had not read. merge-gate reads the latest trusted verdict block (`Verdict:`, `Head:`, `Patch-id:`, `Docs:`) and recomputes the patch-id. It checks CI, bot review bodies, threads, and mergeability on the current head, reports every failed gate, and merges with `--match-head-commit`. It also refuses a base branch with a merge queue, because `gh pr merge` would only enqueue the PR, and the queue would land it later without rechecking the verdict, the bot reviews, or the open threads. `--override` posts its reason on the PR. On GitHub, Shipping never arms GitHub auto-merge, because it would merge later without these checks; the lead runs merge-gate when the watcher reports `READY`. Upstream lands with a bare `gh pr merge` or arms `--auto`, and has no verdict block. Autopilot-full step 5 also says the full-autonomy grant never approves `--override`, so an owner whose merge-gate run refuses on a merge queue stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate. Keep that sentence on sync. -- Autopilot-full's third-`FAIL` stop is mechanical (port addition, 2026-10, #177). Step 4 reads `report.failRounds` from `scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --check`, which counts the distinct `Head` SHAs of well-formed `FAIL` blocks from trusted commenters through `verdict.ts` and includes the round just posted. A trusted `Fail-count reset: ` comment restarts the count, and a `Stopped:` comment keeps the hourly tick from filing the same follow-up issues again. Step 4 also defines a recorded run as one whose transcript or artifacts are saved where the verdict can cite them. A proven in-scope security finding is fixed forward like any finding, an out-of-scope one goes to the operator per **Ask by default**, and a round with a security ask open posts `FAIL`. The security default is the root's choice under the autopilot grant, and the operator can override it. Upstream's step 4 has no verdict block, no stop, and no security carve-out. Keep all of it on sync. -- Opening a PR and Babysit name the diff a PR body is checked against as "the PR's full diff at the current head" (port edit, 2026-10, #177). Upstream has neither Babysit's body re-check nor Opening a PR's provisional-body rule, so both are port text. The provisional state now also ends when a non-owner subagent returns the PR URL, because that subagent never reports merge-ready. Keep the wording on sync. -- Every `gh` call passes the resolved repository (port addition, 2026-10, #169). Opening a PR's **Forge** paragraph says to resolve `/` from origin's fetch URL and pass it as `-R` on every `gh` call, because `gh` can resolve its default repo to the parent in a fork with an `upstream` remote. The watcher's `currentPr` does the same when `--pr` is absent: it passes origin's repo and the checked-out branch to `gh pr view`, and stops with a pass-`--pr` message on a detached HEAD. The `-R /` examples are added only to port-owned commands: `gh pr view` in Opening a PR's attachment check, `gh pr comment` in Babysit step 8, `gh pr edit` in Orchestrate, `gh pr diff` in Code review, and `gh pr view` in the deslop skill. Upstream-owned example commands (the `--base`, `ready`, and `merge` examples in Opening a PR, Autopilot-stack, Multi-phase plan, Shipping, and the why skill) stay as upstream wrote them, and the **Forge** rule covers them. Keep the rule and the examples on sync. +- Autopilot-full's third-`FAIL` stop and finding bar are port additions (2026-10, #177). [Autopilot-full step 4](skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/autopilot-full.md) owns the counting, reset, recorded-run, and security rules; step 6 applies the stop on each hourly tick. Upstream has none of these rules. Keep both steps and the `verdict.ts` and merge-gate support on sync. +- PR body finalization is a port edit (2026-10, #177). [Opening a PR](skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md) owns PR body finalization, including non-owner reports. [Babysit](skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/babysit.md) applies them after a repair push. Upstream has neither the provisional-body rule nor the Babysit body re-check. Keep both on sync. +- Repository selection is a port addition (2026-10, #169). [Opening a PR, Forge](skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md) owns the origin-resolution rule. Keep it and the watcher's `currentPr` repository, branch, and detached-HEAD handling on sync. Keep explicit `-R` only in port-owned examples: Opening a PR's attachment read, Babysit step 8, Orchestrate, Code review, and deslop. Upstream-owned examples in Opening a PR, Autopilot-stack, Multi-phase plan, Shipping, and why remain unchanged. - Two roles beyond upstream's roster: `trail reviewer` (the show-me-your-work reviewer and, since 2026-10, every independent verdict and review; upstream says "a different model family", which has no answer inside one vendor) and `default` (the entry for a spawn whose skill names no role, shipped as `inherit-parent`). Step 1 of the harness skill's Spawn a role sends every role-less spawn through `default`; on sync, keep both roles and the show-me-your-work wording that resolves through `trail reviewer`, and keep the resolver's `--work-model` step that moves it to another allowed model in the work model's family when it matches the working model, or marks it `same-model` when the config allows none in that family. - **Authoring or modifying a skill** sends skill steps through the STE layer of **technical-writing** (port addition, 2026-10). Skill steps are procedures an agent executes. ASD-STE100 was written for procedures. Upstream's authoring guidance names no style standard. On sync, keep the sentence. - **Opening a PR** says how to post PR evidence (port addition, 2026-09). Follow any attachment rule the repo's `AGENTS.md` or PR template sets, upload with `gh … --attach` (gh 2.99.0 or later), never through undocumented endpoints, and confirm each posted URL returns `200` with `gh auth token`. Report an upload blocker only when no gh at 2.99.0 or later is available or a retry fails. Upstream says only to attach videos or screenshots.

The operator reviews and clicks, and no owner merges one. When the operator asks for the protocol or the plan to be stated, deliver the statement and stop. Execution starts only on the operator's explicit go. 2. **Spawn one owner per PR with the full lifecycle and an early trail.** Use the **pstack-harness** skill to resolve the portable roots. Keep their concrete values in private, untracked run state and pass them to every owner. Resolve the forge once for the program. GitHub CLI (`gh`) is the default. If `command -v origin` succeeds and Origin can resolve the repository, use `origin pr ...` for PR create, edit, view, watch, and merge operations. Otherwise stay on `gh` and record the fallback. Never require Graphite (`gt`). One background agent per PR (its own isolated worktree) owns build, the first push, a ready PR, self-proof on the real artifact (the **prove-it-works** principle skill), skeptical Bugbot triage per `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, a slop-strip with the **deslop** skill, a comment review with the **no-comments** skill, a rebase onto current trunk, the babysit loop to green (`playbooks/babysit.md`), and the merge itself. Within about 15 minutes, every owner uses the **show-me-your-work** skill to start a `decisions.tsv` trail, pushes its first branch snapshot, and opens the PR ready, never draft. In a gated repository, follow the gated publish rules in `playbooks/opening-a-pr.md`. Snapshots go to the snapshot ref, the PR opens through `no-mistakes axi run`, and each rebase follows the `rerun` rule there. After that, the owner pushes its branch again after every verifiable unit (hooks on, a WIP commit is fine). Open the PR before self-proof so the URL, decisions, and checks form a durable trail. Keep `decisions.tsv` uncommitted and return it with the reports. As soon as a subagent starts, the owner adds its ID, expected runtime (at least the longest past run of that kind), and state to a `children.tsv` kept the same way. The owner does the first rebase before the code-ready report and babysit, whether or not trunk has drifted. In fix rounds, the owner keeps that merge base. The owner rebases again only at merge prep (step 5), on a `git merge-tree` conflict with trunk, or on a CI failure that comes from a change on trunk. When the shipped code is final, after the slop-strip and the comment review, it reports the code-ready head SHA. It also reports the SHA of each later push that changes the patch. Self-proof, CI, and babysit then run in parallel with the swarm. The owner reports merge-ready with the head SHA when self-proof, CI, and babysit finish. Before a push that starts a round, run the pre-review checks that the repo's AGENTS.md files and rules name for the touched paths. Run them on the committed head. A hook pass is not proof. In an ungated repository, publish each rebase by pushing the owner's own branch with `git push --force-with-lease` after an `ls-remote` check. Never force-push a shared branch. The merge is the one step an owner may not take alone. Step 4 gates it. 3. **Run owners in true parallel and never stack.** Many owners at once when PRs are self-contained: one writer per branch, disjoint files, cross-PR drift absorbed by rebase. Only genuinely overlapping work serializes. Self-contained PRs branch straight off main, and sequenced work is merge-then-branch. One exception: an owner that must split a genuinely dependent change may hold a short private base-branch stack. -4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch. At that SHA, use the **swarm** skill to fan out parallel independent verifiers, and aggregate to one verdict. The merge needs a clean verdict from the round whose patch matches the merge-ready head. Post that verdict on the PR in the four-line block of `playbooks/shipping.md` step 1, so the owner's merge-gate run can read it. Audit the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict. The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists). Audit the diff, distrusting the PR body. Run the audit as two or more review lanes with the full brief.

When the lanes return, send the owner one fix-forward with every proven finding that falls inside the PR's scope, meaning the issue or request the PR serves, and that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches. A recorded run is a run whose transcript or artifacts are saved where the verdict can cite them. For a docs, prompt, or config change, the agent or tool that reads it is the caller. A note that meets this bar is a finding. File every other true finding as a follow-up issue linked from the verdict, including one that only an input the lane invented reaches. Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception. A proven one inside the PR's scope goes to the owner in the fix-forward like any finding. One outside it goes to the operator per **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, and the verdict links the ask. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. A round with a security ask open also posts `FAIL`, because the PR is not merge-ready until the operator answers. Post the round's `FAIL` first, then count before the fix-forward. Run `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --check` and read `report.failRounds.count`. `--check` exits 10 when a gate fails, which is not an error here. The count is the distinct `Head` SHAs among well-formed `FAIL` blocks from trusted commenters, read the way `../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts` reads them, and it includes this round. When `report.failRounds.complete` is false, the count is a floor, so read the PR's comments for the rest. At 3 or more, send nothing. Stop the owner, file each open finding as a follow-up issue once, and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. Post one PR comment that starts with `Stopped:` and links the issues. A tick that finds a `Stopped:` comment newer than the PR's latest `FAIL` block files nothing and reports the PR as blocked again. An operator's go-ahead for one more round resets the count. The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and quotes the go-ahead. Only `FAIL` blocks after it count, and the root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. +4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch. At that SHA, use the **swarm** skill to fan out parallel independent verifiers, and aggregate to one verdict. The merge needs a clean verdict from the round whose patch matches the merge-ready head. Post that verdict on the PR in the four-line block of `playbooks/shipping.md` step 1, so the owner's merge-gate run can read it. Audit the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict. The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists).

The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and quotes the go-ahead. The counter retains `FAIL` blocks with the same timestamp as the newest trusted reset, so a same-second tie cannot hide a stop. Later blocks also count. The root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. 5. **On a clean verdict the owner merges, and a fresh owner takes the next item.** The owner merges only from a head freshly rebased onto trunk. Merge prep never comes before a round's lanes start, and it ends with a rebase onto current trunk right before the merge. After the merge-prep rebase, the owner reports the new head SHA. CI must pass on that head before the merge, and the patch-id rule decides whether the round's verdict still holds. Once that head is green and its patch-id matches the verdict's under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`, a later trunk move does not force another rebase. Right before the merge, fetch trunk and check that `git merge-tree` of the head against current trunk is clean. Also check that no path in `git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main) origin/main` is a path the PR changes or a path that decides which CI runs for it, such as the repo's CI config paths. If either check fails, rebase again, report the new head SHA, wait for CI to pass on it, and repeat these checks. A new head voids the verdict unless the patch-id is unchanged. The owner squash-merges its own PR through the resolved forge, with `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` on GitHub per `playbooks/shipping.md` step 5, and returns. A fresh owner picks up the next self-contained item from the queue, per poteto-mode's Subagents section. The operator's full-autonomy grant plus the root's clean verdict is the merge authorization that babysitting alone never has. The grant never approves `--override` for any refused gate. When `merge-gate` refuses because the base branch has a merge queue, the owner stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate. Operator-named items stop at merge-ready and wait for the operator's click. 6. **Run the root layer.** A genuinely new raise of a pinned gate or budget value (a limit CI only lets tighten) needs your fresh countersign, granted only after verifier proof. If the operator's grant or standing orders cover approvals, that countersign is the approval. The owner records it in the form that the tool's approval contract allows, with a pointer to the root's countersign. A lane checks the record against that countersign. The root never gives or bypasses an approval that the forge enforces. Absorbing values that already landed on main is drift, not a raise. Run an audit tick over all owners every hour. On the operator's go, use the **pstack-harness** skill's **Loops and wake-ups** section to arm the tick through the harness's loop facility, with a prompt that runs this tick. In Claude Code that is `/loop 1h`. Never leave the cadence to memory or lossy completion notifications. Restore the recorded roots at each tick. Re-read this playbook from trunk with `git -C "${PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT:?}" fetch origin '+refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main' && git -C "$PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT" show 'origin/main:skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/autopilot-full.md'` and audit the operation against it. Fix drift during that tick. If that fetch fails, skip the drift fix for this tick, run the rest of the tick, and record the failed fetch in the trail. Never skip the tick because the fetch failed. Probe each owner with a generic liveness or status check, and collect the decision trails. Count only side effects as progress: commits, pushes, PR or check deltas, and store reports. Side effects do not show convergence, so each tick also reads `report.failRounds` for every PR and applies step 4's third-`FAIL` stop. Treat a lane that errors, or that passes its expected runtime without a side effect, as stuck. Stand it down and dispatch a replacement at once. Do not wait for a polite return. The tick judges an owner by the pushed branch and the decision trail that step 2 requires, and it replaces an owner whose agent cannot start a turn. Each tick also runs the lane stuck test over the program's agent list, where the platform has one, and over every owner's `children.tsv`. Whether or not a stop works, the root has the owner record each stuck subagent as stuck and, if its work is still needed, replace it. Each replacement that stalls gets the same steps. The root takes both steps when the owner cannot. A stall never proves or drops the work. When merges batch, run a retro pass and a post-merge bot-comment sweep. End the tick only when no delegated work is left, even after the last merge. 7. **Stand down instantly on the operator's stop.** The operator's hold or stand-down reaches every owner as a zero-writes order immediately. Owners hold their briefs until the operator releases them. diff --git a/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md b/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md index c2161c54..aa60dd35 100644 --- a/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md +++ b/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ Read this playbook in full.

In Autopilot-stack, the root is that owner.

A forge-ready result also needs a current author result from the **documentation-impact** skill. When that result is `independent review required`, it also needs a current independent review verdict of `pass`. In `drive` and `background`, use the **documentation-impact** skill to obtain a missing or stale author result, then start an independent review on the `trail reviewer` role only when the author result requires it. Send findings to the author, refresh the author result after repairs, and refresh the independent review verdict when required. In `check` and `threads-only`, report a missing or stale author result or a missing or stale required independent review as pending without starting either pass. Keep forge status and documentation readiness separate. The watcher does not certify documentation.

A reset grants exactly one more round, so the next counted FAIL stops. Stopped: uses the verdict trust rule and holds until a newer FAIL or reset. A FAIL block with a "Security ask: open" line does not count. Same-second comments apply reset, then Stopped:, then FAIL, so a tie never hides a stop. merge-gate --check reports the state, and --pretty prints fail-state. --- .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-render.ts | 2 +- .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate.ts | 9 +- .../poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts | 64 ++++--- .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-cli.test.ts | 5 +- .../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate.test.ts | 6 +- .../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.test.ts | 162 +++++++++++++----- 6 files changed, 174 insertions(+), 74 deletions(-) diff --git a/skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-render.ts b/skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-render.ts index eb0bdde3..153d0f35 100644 --- a/skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-render.ts +++ b/skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate-render.ts @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ function reportLines(report: GateReport): readonly string[] { ); } const headline = (label: string, report: GateReport): string => - `${label}: pr=#${report.pr.number} ${report.ready ?

This file records - The GitHub watcher keeps a GitHub Enterprise host (port addition, 2026-10). It reads the host from the origin remote or the PR URL, passes it to every `gh` call as `--repo //` and to GraphQL as `--hostname `, and renders status links on it. An explicit `--owner`, `--repo`, and `--pr` outside a checkout uses `GH_HOST`, else github.com. Upstream assumes github.com. Keep the host through the watcher's context types on sync, and keep the Babysit playbook's `GH_HOST` sentence. - The GitHub watcher (`skills/poteto-mode/scripts/watch-pr`) treats every review bot alike, not only Cursor Bugbot: a thread carries `bot: { login, passes } | null`, and `READY` waits while a bot is still a requested reviewer (`WAITING` with `pending-review-bots`), which is how GitHub Copilot code review shows up before it posts. Since 2026-10, `READY` also stops on a bot review of the head commit whose body reports a finding with no thread (the `review-findings` blocker, exit 8), until a PR comment from the PR author or a repository owner, member, or collaborator contains that review's full URL. A per-format parser registry reads Copilot's overview. An unreadable body from Copilot's login blocks, and another bot's unreadable body becomes a note on `READY`. Repos without review bots see no change. Upstream still has `isBugbot`/`bugbotReviewPasses`; on sync, keep the port's shape and re-apply the babysit playbook and triage-reference wording. - Shipping lands GitHub PRs through `scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` (port addition, 2026-10). The lead broke the prose landing gates three times in one week: once it merged before reading a bot's review body, once it missed red CI behind the watcher's first blocker, and once it reported CI it had not read. merge-gate reads the latest trusted verdict block (`Verdict:`, `Head:`, `Patch-id:`, `Docs:`) and recomputes the patch-id. It checks CI, bot review bodies, threads, and mergeability on the current head, reports every failed gate, and merges with `--match-head-commit`. It also refuses a base branch with a merge queue, because `gh pr merge` would only enqueue the PR, and the queue would land it later without rechecking the verdict, the bot reviews, or the open threads. `--override` posts its reason on the PR. On GitHub, Shipping never arms GitHub auto-merge, because it would merge later without these checks; the lead runs merge-gate when the watcher reports `READY`. Upstream lands with a bare `gh pr merge` or arms `--auto`, and has no verdict block. Autopilot-full step 5 also says the full-autonomy grant never approves `--override`, so an owner whose merge-gate run refuses on a merge queue stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate.

Step 1 of the harness skill's Spawn a role sends every role-less spawn through `default`; on sync, keep both roles and the show-me-your-work wording that resolves through `trail reviewer`, and keep the resolver's `--work-model` step that moves it to another allowed model in the work model's family when it matches the working model, or marks it `same-model` when the config allows none in that family. - **Authoring or modifying a skill** sends skill steps through the STE layer of **technical-writing** (port addition, 2026-10). Skill steps are procedures an agent executes. ASD-STE100 was written for procedures. Upstream's authoring guidance names no style standard. On sync, keep the sentence. - **Opening a PR** says how to post PR evidence (port addition, 2026-09). Follow any attachment rule the repo's `AGENTS.md` or PR template sets, upload with `gh … --attach` (gh 2.99.0 or later), never through undocumented endpoints, and confirm each posted URL returns `200` with `gh auth token`. Report an upload blocker only when no gh at 2.99.0 or later is available or a retry fails. Upstream says only to attach videos or screenshots.

The operator reviews and clicks, and no owner merges one. When the operator asks for the protocol or the plan to be stated, deliver the statement and stop. Execution starts only on the operator's explicit go. 2. **Spawn one owner per PR with the full lifecycle and an early trail.** Use the **pstack-harness** skill to resolve the portable roots. Keep their concrete values in private, untracked run state and pass them to every owner. Resolve the forge once for the program. GitHub CLI (`gh`) is the default. If `command -v origin` succeeds and Origin can resolve the repository, use `origin pr ...` for PR create, edit, view, watch, and merge operations. Otherwise stay on `gh` and record the fallback. Never require Graphite (`gt`). One background agent per PR (its own isolated worktree) owns build, the first push, a ready PR, self-proof on the real artifact (the **prove-it-works** principle skill), skeptical Bugbot triage per `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, a slop-strip with the **deslop** skill, a comment review with the **no-comments** skill, a rebase onto current trunk, the babysit loop to green (`playbooks/babysit.md`), and the merge itself. Within about 15 minutes, every owner uses the **show-me-your-work** skill to start a `decisions.tsv` trail, pushes its first branch snapshot, and opens the PR ready, never draft. In a gated repository, follow the gated publish rules in `playbooks/opening-a-pr.md`. Snapshots go to the snapshot ref, the PR opens through `no-mistakes axi run`, and each rebase follows the `rerun` rule there. After that, the owner pushes its branch again after every verifiable unit (hooks on, a WIP commit is fine). Open the PR before self-proof so the URL, decisions, and checks form a durable trail. Keep `decisions.tsv` uncommitted and return it with the reports. As soon as a subagent starts, the owner adds its ID, expected runtime (at least the longest past run of that kind), and state to a `children.tsv` kept the same way. The owner does the first rebase before the code-ready report and babysit, whether or not trunk has drifted. In fix rounds, the owner keeps that merge base. The owner rebases again only at merge prep (step 5), on a `git merge-tree` conflict with trunk, or on a CI failure that comes from a change on trunk. When the shipped code is final, after the slop-strip and the comment review, it reports the code-ready head SHA. It also reports the SHA of each later push that changes the patch. Self-proof, CI, and babysit then run in parallel with the swarm. The owner reports merge-ready with the head SHA when self-proof, CI, and babysit finish. Before a push that starts a round, run the pre-review checks that the repo's AGENTS.md files and rules name for the touched paths. Run them on the committed head. A hook pass is not proof. In an ungated repository, publish each rebase by pushing the owner's own branch with `git push --force-with-lease` after an `ls-remote` check. Never force-push a shared branch. The merge is the one step an owner may not take alone. Step 4 gates it. 3. **Run owners in true parallel and never stack.** Many owners at once when PRs are self-contained: one writer per branch, disjoint files, cross-PR drift absorbed by rebase. Only genuinely overlapping work serializes. Self-contained PRs branch straight off main, and sequenced work is merge-then-branch. One exception: an owner that must split a genuinely dependent change may hold a short private base-branch stack. -4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch. At that SHA, use the **swarm** skill to fan out parallel independent verifiers, and aggregate to one verdict. The merge needs a clean verdict from the round whose patch matches the merge-ready head. Post that verdict on the PR in the four-line block of `playbooks/shipping.md` step 1, so the owner's merge-gate run can read it. Audit the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict. The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists). Audit the diff, distrusting the PR body. Run the audit as two or more review lanes with the full brief. Give each lane one main focus, such as consumer parity with trunk, lifetimes and races, or data and config safety. **Regression lane against trunk.** Run the same load-bearing scenario on current trunk. If trunk does not have the feature, record that fact and gate the behavior the diff adds plus the end state the user waits for instead of pretending trunk can produce it. The live lane is the floor, and a verdict without it is not clean. No merge without the root's clean verdict. When the lanes return, send the owner one fix-forward with every proven finding that falls inside the PR's scope, meaning the issue or request the PR serves, and that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches. A recorded run is a run whose transcript or artifacts are saved where the verdict can cite them. For a docs, prompt, or config change, the agent or tool that reads it is the caller. A note that meets this bar is a finding. File every other true finding as a follow-up issue linked from the verdict, including one that only an input the lane invented reaches. Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception. The following security default is the root's choice under the autopilot grant, and the operator can override it. A proven one inside the PR's scope goes to the owner in the fix-forward like any finding. One outside it goes to the operator per **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, and the verdict links the ask. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. A round with a security ask open also posts `FAIL`, because the PR is not merge-ready until the operator answers. Post the round's `FAIL` first, then count before the fix-forward. Run `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --check` and read `report.failRounds.count`. `--check` exits 10 when a gate fails, which is not an error here. The count is the distinct `Head` SHAs among well-formed `FAIL` blocks from trusted commenters, read the way `../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts` reads them, and it includes this round. When `report.failRounds.complete` is false, the count is a floor, so read the PR's comments for the rest. At 3 or more, send nothing. Stop the owner, file each open finding as a follow-up issue once, and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. Post one PR comment that starts with `Stopped:` and links the issues. A tick that finds a `Stopped:` comment newer than the PR's latest `FAIL` block files nothing and reports the PR as blocked again. An operator's go-ahead for one more round resets the count. The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and quotes the go-ahead. The counter retains `FAIL` blocks with the same timestamp as the newest trusted reset, so a same-second tie cannot hide a stop. Later blocks also count. The root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. +4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch. At that SHA, use the **swarm** skill to fan out parallel independent verifiers, and aggregate to one verdict. The merge needs a clean verdict from the round whose patch matches the merge-ready head. Post that verdict on the PR in the four-line block of `playbooks/shipping.md` step 1, so the owner's merge-gate run can read it. Audit the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict. The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists).

When the lanes return, send the owner one fix-forward with every proven finding that falls inside the PR's scope, meaning the issue or request the PR serves, and that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches. A recorded run is a saved run of a real caller or a real input, with a transcript or artifacts the verdict can cite. A lane's run on an input it invented is not a recorded run. For a docs, prompt, or config change, the agent or tool that reads it is the caller. A note that meets this bar is a finding. File every other true finding as a follow-up issue linked from the verdict, including one that only an input the lane invented reaches. Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception. Never file one as a public issue, and never post or link one on the PR. Send a proven one inside the PR's scope that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches to the owner in the fix-forward. Ask the operator directly about every other one, including an in-scope one that only an invented input reaches, per **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. A round with a security ask open also posts `FAIL`, because the PR is not merge-ready until the operator answers. When that round sends nothing back, add the line `Security ask: open` after its block, so its `FAIL` does not count toward the stop. Post the round's `FAIL` first, then read the stop state before the fix-forward. Run `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --check` and read `report.failRounds`. Exit 10 means a gate failed, which is not an error here. Exit 1 means the count is unknown, for example after a failed `git fetch`, so hold the fix-forward and run `--check` again until it prints `report.failRounds`. `count` is the distinct `Head` SHAs among `FAIL` blocks without that line, and it includes this round. `../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts` reads `FAIL` blocks, `Fail-count reset:` comments, and `Stopped:` comments only from trusted commenters, by the same rule as verdict blocks. When `report.failRounds.complete` is false, the PR has more comments than the read holds, so read all of them and apply these rules by hand. When `state` is `open`, send the fix-forward. When it is `stop`, meaning the third counted `FAIL` or the first after a reset, send nothing. Stop the owner and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. File each open finding as a follow-up issue once, except security findings, which stay with the operator. Post one PR comment that starts with `Stopped:` and links the issues. When it is `stopped`, file nothing and report the PR as blocked again. An operator's go-ahead grants exactly one more round. The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and quotes the go-ahead. That reset supersedes the `Stopped:` comment, and the next counted `FAIL` stops again. The root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. 5. **On a clean verdict the owner merges, and a fresh owner takes the next item.** The owner merges only from a head freshly rebased onto trunk. Merge prep never comes before a round's lanes start, and it ends with a rebase onto current trunk right before the merge. After the merge-prep rebase, the owner reports the new head SHA. CI must pass on that head before the merge, and the patch-id rule decides whether the round's verdict still holds. Once that head is green and its patch-id matches the verdict's under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`, a later trunk move does not force another rebase. Right before the merge, fetch trunk and check that `git merge-tree` of the head against current trunk is clean. Also check that no path in `git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main) origin/main` is a path the PR changes or a path that decides which CI runs for it, such as the repo's CI config paths. If either check fails, rebase again, report the new head SHA, wait for CI to pass on it, and repeat these checks. A new head voids the verdict unless the patch-id is unchanged. The owner squash-merges its own PR through the resolved forge, with `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` on GitHub per `playbooks/shipping.md` step 5, and returns. A fresh owner picks up the next self-contained item from the queue, per poteto-mode's Subagents section. The operator's full-autonomy grant plus the root's clean verdict is the merge authorization that babysitting alone never has. The grant never approves `--override` for any refused gate. When `merge-gate` refuses because the base branch has a merge queue, the owner stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate. Operator-named items stop at merge-ready and wait for the operator's click. -6. **Run the root layer.** A genuinely new raise of a pinned gate or budget value (a limit CI only lets tighten) needs your fresh countersign, granted only after verifier proof. If the operator's grant or standing orders cover approvals, that countersign is the approval. The owner records it in the form that the tool's approval contract allows, with a pointer to the root's countersign. A lane checks the record against that countersign. The root never gives or bypasses an approval that the forge enforces. Absorbing values that already landed on main is drift, not a raise. Run an audit tick over all owners every hour. On the operator's go, use the **pstack-harness** skill's **Loops and wake-ups** section to arm the tick through the harness's loop facility, with a prompt that runs this tick. In Claude Code that is `/loop 1h`. Never leave the cadence to memory or lossy completion notifications. Restore the recorded roots at each tick. Re-read this playbook from trunk with `git -C "${PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT:?}" fetch origin '+refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main' && git -C "$PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT" show 'origin/main:skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/autopilot-full.md'` and audit the operation against it. Fix drift during that tick. If that fetch fails, skip the drift fix for this tick, run the rest of the tick, and record the failed fetch in the trail. Never skip the tick because the fetch failed. Probe each owner with a generic liveness or status check, and collect the decision trails. Count only side effects as progress: commits, pushes, PR or check deltas, and store reports. Side effects do not show convergence, so each tick also reads `report.failRounds` for every PR and applies step 4's third-`FAIL` stop. Treat a lane that errors, or that passes its expected runtime without a side effect, as stuck. Stand it down and dispatch a replacement at once. Do not wait for a polite return. The tick judges an owner by the pushed branch and the decision trail that step 2 requires, and it replaces an owner whose agent cannot start a turn. Each tick also runs the lane stuck test over the program's agent list, where the platform has one, and over every owner's `children.tsv`. Whether or not a stop works, the root has the owner record each stuck subagent as stuck and, if its work is still needed, replace it. Each replacement that stalls gets the same steps. The root takes both steps when the owner cannot. A stall never proves or drops the work. When merges batch, run a retro pass and a post-merge bot-comment sweep.

On GitHub, run `scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --subject --body-file `. It merges only when every gate holds. The latest trusted verdict block must match the current patch-id. Every check must pass. Every bot's latest review body must be acknowledged. No thread may be open, and the PR must be mergeable. When a gate fails, it names every failed gate, exits 10, and does not merge. Fix or report each failed gate. A base branch with a merge queue fails the `merge-queue` gate the same way, because `gh pr merge` would only enqueue the PR, and the queue would land it later without rechecking the verdict, the bot reviews, or the open threads. Pass `--override ""` only when the user approves landing over a failed gate. The override posts the reason on the PR. On Origin, check the same gates by hand, then squash with `origin pr merge --squash`. If requirements are still running and the user asked for merge-when-ready, on Origin arm only that PR with `origin pr merge --squash --auto`, which is Origin merge-when-ready. On GitHub, never arm GitHub auto-merge, because it merges later without merge-gate's verdict, patch-id, and review-body checks. Run the watcher instead, and run merge-gate when the watcher reports `READY` at the PR's current head. When merge-gate exits 11, the merge is queued or not yet confirmed. Watch it per step 8. Wait for that PR to merge before preparing the next one. Send a `review-findings` blocker (exit 8) back to Babysit step 8. 6. **Do not read GitHub `autoMergeRequest` as stack readiness.** At most it says GitHub auto-merge was requested for one GitHub PR. It does not prove Origin merge-when-ready is armed, that a descendant is queued, that a patch verdict is current, or that the contiguous stack is safe. Confirm the active forge's state for the current bottom PR, and say that the state is unknown if the active forge cannot report it. 7. **Recompute after every merge.** Fetch trunk, confirm the merged SHA is present, drop the merged PR from the frozen bottom-to-top list, delete its work-in-progress snapshot ref if one exists (`refs/pstack/wip/` or the repository's own agent ref convention), and inspect the new bottom PR's base, head, checks, and patch-id. A host may retarget a child automatically, but do not assume it did. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for that one PR. Independent work stays outside this chain and ships on its own. -8. **Watch the current frontier until it merges or fails. Do not mutate the queue around it.** With Origin, use `origin pr view --checks --comments` and `origin pr checks --watch`, then re-read the PR until it reports merged or blocked. With GitHub, after merge-gate exits 11, use `scripts/watch-pr/watch-pr --queued-stack --stack-prs ` only as an event wake and poll `gh pr view --json state,mergedAt,mergeStateStatus,statusCheckRollup,autoMergeRequest` after each wake, ignoring `READY` until `mergedAt` is non-null or `state` is `MERGED`.

The operator reviews and clicks, and no owner merges one. When the operator asks for the protocol or the plan to be stated, deliver the statement and stop. Execution starts only on the operator's explicit go. 2. **Spawn one owner per PR with the full lifecycle and an early trail.** Use the **pstack-harness** skill to resolve the portable roots. Keep their concrete values in private, untracked run state and pass them to every owner. Resolve the forge once for the program. GitHub CLI (`gh`) is the default. If `command -v origin` succeeds and Origin can resolve the repository, use `origin pr ...` for PR create, edit, view, watch, and merge operations. Otherwise stay on `gh` and record the fallback. Never require Graphite (`gt`). One background agent per PR (its own isolated worktree) owns build, the first push, a ready PR, self-proof on the real artifact (the **prove-it-works** principle skill), skeptical Bugbot triage per `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, a slop-strip with the **deslop** skill, a comment review with the **no-comments** skill, a rebase onto current trunk, the babysit loop to green (`playbooks/babysit.md`), and the merge itself. Within about 15 minutes, every owner uses the **show-me-your-work** skill to start a `decisions.tsv` trail, pushes its first branch snapshot, and opens the PR ready, never draft. In a gated repository, follow the gated publish rules in `playbooks/opening-a-pr.md`. Snapshots go to the snapshot ref, the PR opens through `no-mistakes axi run`, and each rebase follows the `rerun` rule there. After that, the owner pushes its branch again after every verifiable unit (hooks on, a WIP commit is fine). Open the PR before self-proof so the URL, decisions, and checks form a durable trail. Keep `decisions.tsv` uncommitted and return it with the reports. As soon as a subagent starts, the owner adds its ID, expected runtime (at least the longest past run of that kind), and state to a `children.tsv` kept the same way. The owner does the first rebase before the code-ready report and babysit, whether or not trunk has drifted. In fix rounds, the owner keeps that merge base. The owner rebases again only at merge prep (step 5), on a `git merge-tree` conflict with trunk, or on a CI failure that comes from a change on trunk. When the shipped code is final, after the slop-strip and the comment review, it reports the code-ready head SHA. It also reports the SHA of each later push that changes the patch. Self-proof, CI, and babysit then run in parallel with the swarm. The owner reports merge-ready with the head SHA when self-proof, CI, and babysit finish. Before a push that starts a round, run the pre-review checks that the repo's AGENTS.md files and rules name for the touched paths. Run them on the committed head. A hook pass is not proof. In an ungated repository, publish each rebase by pushing the owner's own branch with `git push --force-with-lease` after an `ls-remote` check. Never force-push a shared branch. The merge is the one step an owner may not take alone. Step 4 gates it. 3. **Run owners in true parallel and never stack.** Many owners at once when PRs are self-contained: one writer per branch, disjoint files, cross-PR drift absorbed by rebase. Only genuinely overlapping work serializes. Self-contained PRs branch straight off main, and sequenced work is merge-then-branch. One exception: an owner that must split a genuinely dependent change may hold a short private base-branch stack. -4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch. At that SHA, use the **swarm** skill to fan out parallel independent verifiers, and aggregate to one verdict. The merge needs a clean verdict from the round whose patch matches the merge-ready head. Post that verdict on the PR in the four-line block of `playbooks/shipping.md` step 1, so the owner's merge-gate run can read it. Audit the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict. The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists). Audit the diff, distrusting the PR body. Run the audit as two or more review lanes with the full brief. Give each lane one main focus, such as consumer parity with trunk, lifetimes and races, or data and config safety. **Regression lane against trunk.** Run the same load-bearing scenario on current trunk. If trunk does not have the feature, record that fact and gate the behavior the diff adds plus the end state the user waits for instead of pretending trunk can produce it. The live lane is the floor, and a verdict without it is not clean. No merge without the root's clean verdict. When the lanes return, send the owner one fix-forward with every proven finding that falls inside the PR's scope, meaning the issue or request the PR serves, and that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches. A recorded run is a saved run of a real caller or a real input, with a transcript or artifacts the verdict can cite. A lane's run on an input it invented is not a recorded run. For a docs, prompt, or config change, the agent or tool that reads it is the caller. A note that meets this bar is a finding. File every other true finding as a follow-up issue linked from the verdict, including one that only an input the lane invented reaches. Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception. Never file one as a public issue, and never post or link one on the PR. Send a proven one inside the PR's scope that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches to the owner in the fix-forward. Ask the operator directly about every other one, including an in-scope one that only an invented input reaches, per **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. A round with a security ask open also posts `FAIL`, because the PR is not merge-ready until the operator answers. When that round sends nothing back, add the line `Security ask: open` after its block, so its `FAIL` does not count toward the stop. Post the round's `FAIL` first, then read the stop state before the fix-forward. Run `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --check` and read `report.failRounds`. Exit 10 means a gate failed, which is not an error here. Exit 1 means the count is unknown, for example after a failed `git fetch`, so hold the fix-forward and run `--check` again until it prints `report.failRounds`. `count` is the distinct `Head` SHAs among `FAIL` blocks without that line, and it includes this round. `../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts` reads `FAIL` blocks, `Fail-count reset:` comments, and `Stopped:` comments only from trusted commenters, by the same rule as verdict blocks. When `report.failRounds.complete` is false, the PR has more comments than the read holds, so read all of them and apply these rules by hand. When `state` is `open`, send the fix-forward. When it is `stop`, meaning the third counted `FAIL` or the first after a reset, send nothing. Stop the owner and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. File each open finding as a follow-up issue once, except security findings, which stay with the operator. Post one PR comment that starts with `Stopped:` and links the issues. When it is `stopped`, file nothing and report the PR as blocked again. An operator's go-ahead grants exactly one more round. The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and quotes the go-ahead. That reset supersedes the `Stopped:` comment, and the next counted `FAIL` stops again. The root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief.

For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. 5. **On a clean verdict the owner merges, and a fresh owner takes the next item.** The owner merges only from a head freshly rebased onto trunk. Merge prep never comes before a round's lanes start, and it ends with a rebase onto current trunk right before the merge. After the merge-prep rebase, the owner reports the new head SHA. CI must pass on that head before the merge, and the patch-id rule decides whether the round's verdict still holds. Once that head is green and its patch-id matches the verdict's under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`, a later trunk move does not force another rebase. Right before the merge, fetch trunk and check that `git merge-tree` of the head against current trunk is clean. Also check that no path in `git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main) origin/main` is a path the PR changes or a path that decides which CI runs for it, such as the repo's CI config paths. If either check fails, rebase again, report the new head SHA, wait for CI to pass on it, and repeat these checks. A new head voids the verdict unless the patch-id is unchanged. The owner squash-merges its own PR through the resolved forge, with `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` on GitHub per `playbooks/shipping.md` step 5, and returns. A fresh owner picks up the next self-contained item from the queue, per poteto-mode's Subagents section. The operator's full-autonomy grant plus the root's clean verdict is the merge authorization that babysitting alone never has. The grant never approves `--override` for any refused gate. When `merge-gate` refuses because the base branch has a merge queue, the owner stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate. Operator-named items stop at merge-ready and wait for the operator's click. 6. **Run the root layer.** A genuinely new raise of a pinned gate or budget value (a limit CI only lets tighten) needs your fresh countersign, granted only after verifier proof. If the operator's grant or standing orders cover approvals, that countersign is the approval. The owner records it in the form that the tool's approval contract allows, with a pointer to the root's countersign. A lane checks the record against that countersign. The root never gives or bypasses an approval that the forge enforces. Absorbing values that already landed on main is drift, not a raise. Run an audit tick over all owners every hour. On the operator's go, use the **pstack-harness** skill's **Loops and wake-ups** section to arm the tick through the harness's loop facility, with a prompt that runs this tick. In Claude Code that is `/loop 1h`. Never leave the cadence to memory or lossy completion notifications. Restore the recorded roots at each tick. Re-read this playbook from trunk with `git -C "${PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT:?}" fetch origin '+refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main' && git -C "$PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT" show 'origin/main:skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/autopilot-full.md'` and audit the operation against it. Fix drift during that tick. If that fetch fails, skip the drift fix for this tick, run the rest of the tick, and record the failed fetch in the trail. Never skip the tick because the fetch failed. Probe each owner with a generic liveness or status check, and collect the decision trails. Count only side effects as progress: commits, pushes, PR or check deltas, and store reports. Side effects do not show convergence, so each tick also reads `report.failRounds` for every PR and acts on its `state` per step 4. Treat a lane that errors, or that passes its expected runtime without a side effect, as stuck. Stand it down and dispatch a replacement at once. Do not wait for a polite return. The tick judges an owner by the pushed branch and the decision trail that step 2 requires, and it replaces an owner whose agent cannot start a turn. Each tick also runs the lane stuck test over the program's agent list, where the platform has one, and over every owner's `children.tsv`. Whether or not a stop works, the root has the owner record each stuck subagent as stuck and, if its work is still needed, replace it. Each replacement that stalls gets the same steps. The root takes both steps when the owner cannot. A stall never proves or drops the work. When merges batch, run a retro pass and a post-merge bot-comment sweep. End the tick only when no delegated work is left, even after the last merge. 7. **Stand down instantly on the operator's stop.** The operator's hold or stand-down reaches every owner as a zero-writes order immediately.

Since 2026-10, `READY` also stops on a bot review of the head commit whose body reports a finding with no thread (the `review-findings` blocker, exit 8), until a PR comment from the PR author or a repository owner, member, or collaborator contains that review's full URL. A per-format parser registry reads Copilot's overview. An unreadable body from Copilot's login blocks, and another bot's unreadable body becomes a note on `READY`.

The lead broke the prose landing gates three times in one week: once it merged before reading a bot's review body, once it missed red CI behind the watcher's first blocker, and once it reported CI it had not read. merge-gate reads the latest trusted verdict block (`Verdict:`, `Head:`, `Patch-id:`, `Docs:`) and recomputes the patch-id. It checks CI, bot review bodies, threads, and mergeability on the current head, reports every failed gate, and merges with `--match-head-commit`. It also refuses a base branch with a merge queue, because `gh pr merge` would only enqueue the PR, and the queue would land it later without rechecking the verdict, the bot reviews, or the open threads. `--override` posts its reason on the PR. On GitHub, Shipping never arms GitHub auto-merge, because it would merge later without these checks; the lead runs merge-gate when the watcher reports `READY`. Upstream lands with a bare `gh pr merge` or arms `--auto`, and has no verdict block.

The operator reviews and clicks, and no owner merges one. When the operator asks for the protocol or the plan to be stated, deliver the statement and stop. Execution starts only on the operator's explicit go. 2. **Spawn one owner per PR with the full lifecycle and an early trail.** Use the **pstack-harness** skill to resolve the portable roots. Keep their concrete values in private, untracked run state and pass them to every owner. Resolve the forge once for the program. GitHub CLI (`gh`) is the default. If `command -v origin` succeeds and Origin can resolve the repository, use `origin pr ...` for PR create, edit, view, watch, and merge operations. Otherwise stay on `gh` and record the fallback. Never require Graphite (`gt`). One background agent per PR (its own isolated worktree) owns build, the first push, a ready PR, self-proof on the real artifact (the **prove-it-works** principle skill), skeptical Bugbot triage per `../references/bugbot-triage.md`, a slop-strip with the **deslop** skill, a comment review with the **no-comments** skill, a rebase onto current trunk, the babysit loop to green (`playbooks/babysit.md`), and the merge itself. Within about 15 minutes, every owner uses the **show-me-your-work** skill to start a `decisions.tsv` trail, pushes its first branch snapshot, and opens the PR ready, never draft. In a gated repository, follow the gated publish rules in `playbooks/opening-a-pr.md`. Snapshots go to the snapshot ref, the PR opens through `no-mistakes axi run`, and each rebase follows the `rerun` rule there. After that, the owner pushes its branch again after every verifiable unit (hooks on, a WIP commit is fine). Open the PR before self-proof so the URL, decisions, and checks form a durable trail. Keep `decisions.tsv` uncommitted and return it with the reports. As soon as a subagent starts, the owner adds its ID, expected runtime (at least the longest past run of that kind), and state to a `children.tsv` kept the same way. The owner does the first rebase before the code-ready report and babysit, whether or not trunk has drifted. In fix rounds, the owner keeps that merge base. The owner rebases again only at merge prep (step 5), on a `git merge-tree` conflict with trunk, or on a CI failure that comes from a change on trunk. When the shipped code is final, after the slop-strip and the comment review, it reports the code-ready head SHA. It also reports the SHA of each later push that changes the patch. Self-proof, CI, and babysit then run in parallel with the swarm. The owner reports merge-ready with the head SHA when self-proof, CI, and babysit finish. Before a push that starts a round, run the pre-review checks that the repo's AGENTS.md files and rules name for the touched paths. Run them on the committed head. A hook pass is not proof. In an ungated repository, publish each rebase by pushing the owner's own branch with `git push --force-with-lease` after an `ls-remote` check. Never force-push a shared branch. The merge is the one step an owner may not take alone. Step 4 gates it. 3. **Run owners in true parallel and never stack.** Many owners at once when PRs are self-contained: one writer per branch, disjoint files, cross-PR drift absorbed by rebase. Only genuinely overlapping work serializes. Self-contained PRs branch straight off main, and sequenced work is merge-then-branch. One exception: an owner that must split a genuinely dependent change may hold a short private base-branch stack. -4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch. At that SHA, use the **swarm** skill to fan out parallel independent verifiers, and aggregate to one verdict. The merge needs a clean verdict from the round whose patch matches the merge-ready head. Post that verdict on the PR in the four-line block of `playbooks/shipping.md` step 1, so the owner's merge-gate run can read it. Audit the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict. The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists). Audit the diff, distrusting the PR body. Run the audit as two or more review lanes with the full brief. Give each lane one main focus, such as consumer parity with trunk, lifetimes and races, or data and config safety. **Regression lane against trunk.** Run the same load-bearing scenario on current trunk. If trunk does not have the feature, record that fact and gate the behavior the diff adds plus the end state the user waits for instead of pretending trunk can produce it. The live lane is the floor, and a verdict without it is not clean. No merge without the root's clean verdict. When the lanes return, send the owner one fix-forward with every proven finding that falls inside the PR's scope, meaning the issue or request the PR serves, and that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches. A recorded run is a saved run of a real caller or a real input, with a transcript or artifacts the verdict can cite. A lane's run on an input it invented is not a recorded run. For a docs, prompt, or config change, the agent or tool that reads it is the caller. A note that meets this bar is a finding. File every other true finding as a follow-up issue linked from the verdict, including one that only an input the lane invented reaches. Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception. Never file one as a public issue, and never post or link one on the PR. Send a proven one inside the PR's scope that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches to the owner in the fix-forward. Ask the operator directly about every other one, including an in-scope one that only an invented input reaches, per **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. A round with a security ask open also posts `FAIL`, because the PR is not merge-ready until the operator answers. When that round sends nothing back, add the line `Security ask: open` after its block, so its `FAIL` does not count toward the stop. When the round also sends findings back, omit that line and count its `FAIL`, even while the ask remains open. Post the round's `FAIL` first, then read the stop state before the fix-forward. Run `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --check` and read `report.failRounds`. Exit 10 means a gate failed, which is not an error here. Exit 1 means the count is unknown, for example after a failed `git fetch`, so hold the fix-forward and run `--check` again until it prints `report.failRounds`. `count` is the distinct `Head` SHAs among `FAIL` blocks without that line, and it includes this round. A reset never clears this total. With `--pretty`, the headline shows `fail-rounds` and `fail-state`, with `+` after the count when the comment history is incomplete. `../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts` reads `FAIL` blocks, `Fail-count reset:` comments, and `Stopped:` comments only from trusted commenters, by the same rule as verdict blocks. When `report.failRounds.complete` is false, the PR has more comments than the read holds, so read all of them and apply these rules by hand. When `state` is `open`, send the fix-forward. When it is `stop`, meaning the third counted `FAIL` or the first after a reset, send nothing. Stop the owner and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. File each open finding as a follow-up issue once, except security findings, which stay with the operator. Post one PR comment that starts with `Stopped:` and links the issues. When it is `stopped`, file nothing and report the PR as blocked again. An operator's go-ahead grants exactly one more round. The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and quotes the go-ahead. That reset supersedes the `Stopped:` comment, and the next counted `FAIL` stops again. For events in the same second, apply the reset first, then `Stopped:`, then `FAIL`, so a tie never hides a stop. The root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. +4. **Swarm-verify every round before its merge.** A round starts at the owner's code-ready head SHA and at each later push that changes the PR's patch.

The lanes: re-run the gates at that SHA. Prove the load-bearing behavior live on the real surface the change touches (through the project's `verify-` skill, or a named driver where none exists). Audit the diff, distrusting the PR body. Run the audit as two or more review lanes with the full brief. Give each lane one main focus, such as consumer parity with trunk, lifetimes and races, or data and config safety. **Regression lane against trunk.** Run the same load-bearing scenario on current trunk. If trunk does not have the feature, record that fact and gate the behavior the diff adds plus the end state the user waits for instead of pretending trunk can produce it. The live lane is the floor, and a verdict without it is not clean. No merge without the root's clean verdict. When the lanes return, send the owner one fix-forward with every proven finding that falls inside the PR's scope, meaning the issue or request the PR serves, and that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches. A recorded run is a saved run of a real caller or a real input, with a transcript or artifacts the verdict can cite. A lane's run on an input it invented is not a recorded run. For a docs, prompt, or config change, the agent or tool that reads it is the caller. A note that meets this bar is a finding. File every other true finding as a follow-up issue linked from the verdict, including one that only an input the lane invented reaches. Security, privacy, auth, data, and permission-boundary findings are the exception. Never file one as a public issue, and never post or link one on the PR. Send a proven one inside the PR's scope that a real caller, a real input, or a recorded run reaches to the owner in the fix-forward. Ask the operator directly about every other one, including an in-scope one that only an invented input reaches, per **Ask by default** in `../references/bugbot-triage.md`. A round whose remaining findings all went to follow-up issues is clean and posts `PASS+NOTES`. A round that sends findings back posts `FAIL`. A round with a security ask open also posts `FAIL`, because the PR is not merge-ready until the operator answers. When that round sends nothing back, add the line `Operator ask: open` after its block, so its `FAIL` does not count toward the stop. When the round also sends findings back, omit that line and count its `FAIL`, even while the ask remains open. Post the round's `FAIL` first, then read the stop state before the fix-forward. Run `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate --pr --check`. Exit 10 means a gate failed, which is not an error here. Exit 1 means the count is unknown, for example after a failed `git fetch`. Hold the fix-forward and run `--check` once more. If it exits 1 again, report the unknown count to the operator and keep holding. Before you act, confirm that `report.verdict` is `recorded` at this round's `Head`. If it is `malformed`, post the corrected block as a new comment and run `--check` again. Never edit a posted block, because an edit keeps the comment's original time. Then read `report.failRounds`. `count` is the number of distinct rounds among trusted `Verdict:` claims whose word is not `PASS` or `PASS+NOTES` and that lack that line, and it includes this round. A malformed claim counts. A claim's round is its `Head` when that line parses, and the claim itself otherwise. A reset never clears this total. With `--pretty`, the headline shows `fail-rounds` and `fail-state`, with `+` after the count when the comment history is incomplete. `../scripts/watch-pr/verdict.ts` reads `Verdict:` claims, `Fail-count reset:` comments, and `Stopped:` comments only from trusted commenters, by the same rule as verdict blocks. When `report.failRounds.complete` is false, the PR has more comments than the read holds, so read all of them and apply these rules by hand. When `state` is `open`, send the fix-forward. When it is `stop`, meaning the third counted `FAIL` or the first after a reset, send nothing. Stop the owner and report the PR to the operator with what blocks it. File each open finding as a follow-up issue once, except security findings, which stay with the operator. Post one PR comment that starts with `Stopped:` and links the issues. When it is `stopped`, file nothing and report the PR as blocked again. An operator's go-ahead grants exactly one more round. The root posts a PR comment whose first line is `Fail-count reset: ` and that summarizes the go-ahead. Neither the reason nor the summary names a security finding. That reset supersedes the `Stopped:` comment, and the next counted `FAIL` stops again. For events in the same second, apply the reset first, then `Stopped:`, then `FAIL`, so a tie never hides a stop. The root then sends the owner the open findings as one fix-forward. For each behavior finding, ask for a red test that covers every site with the same defect. Where no test can show the defect, ask for a repro receipt instead. Add that defect to the next round's review brief. The new head gets a fresh swarm and a fresh verdict, except for lane results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`. 5. **On a clean verdict the owner merges, and a fresh owner takes the next item.** The owner merges only from a head freshly rebased onto trunk. Merge prep never comes before a round's lanes start, and it ends with a rebase onto current trunk right before the merge. After the merge-prep rebase, the owner reports the new head SHA. CI must pass on that head before the merge, and the patch-id rule decides whether the round's verdict still holds. Once that head is green and its patch-id matches the verdict's under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`, a later trunk move does not force another rebase. Right before the merge, fetch trunk and check that `git merge-tree` of the head against current trunk is clean. Also check that no path in `git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main) origin/main` is a path the PR changes or a path that decides which CI runs for it, such as the repo's CI config paths. If either check fails, rebase again, report the new head SHA, wait for CI to pass on it, and repeat these checks. A new head voids the verdict unless the patch-id is unchanged. The owner squash-merges its own PR through the resolved forge, with `../scripts/watch-pr/merge-gate` on GitHub per `playbooks/shipping.md` step 5, and returns. A fresh owner picks up the next self-contained item from the queue, per poteto-mode's Subagents section. The operator's full-autonomy grant plus the root's clean verdict is the merge authorization that babysitting alone never has. The grant never approves `--override` for any refused gate. When `merge-gate` refuses because the base branch has a merge queue, the owner stops at merge-ready and the root reports an open operator gate. Operator-named items stop at merge-ready and wait for the operator's click. 6. **Run the root layer.** A genuinely new raise of a pinned gate or budget value (a limit CI only lets tighten) needs your fresh countersign, granted only after verifier proof. If the operator's grant or standing orders cover approvals, that countersign is the approval. The owner records it in the form that the tool's approval contract allows, with a pointer to the root's countersign. A lane checks the record against that countersign. The root never gives or bypasses an approval that the forge enforces. Absorbing values that already landed on main is drift, not a raise. Run an audit tick over all owners every hour. On the operator's go, use the **pstack-harness** skill's **Loops and wake-ups** section to arm the tick through the harness's loop facility, with a prompt that runs this tick. In Claude Code that is `/loop 1h`. Never leave the cadence to memory or lossy completion notifications. Restore the recorded roots at each tick. Re-read this playbook from trunk with `git -C "${PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT:?}" fetch origin '+refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main' && git -C "$PSTACK_SOURCE_ROOT" show 'origin/main:skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/autopilot-full.md'` and audit the operation against it. Fix drift during that tick. If that fetch fails, skip the drift fix for this tick, run the rest of the tick, and record the failed fetch in the trail. Never skip the tick because the fetch failed. Probe each owner with a generic liveness or status check, and collect the decision trails. Count only side effects as progress: commits, pushes, PR or check deltas, and store reports. Side effects do not show convergence, so each tick also reads `report.failRounds` for every PR and acts on its `state` per step 4. Treat a lane that errors, or that passes its expected runtime without a side effect, as stuck. Stand it down and dispatch a replacement at once. Do not wait for a polite return. The tick judges an owner by the pushed branch and the decision trail that step 2 requires, and it replaces an owner whose agent cannot start a turn. Each tick also runs the lane stuck test over the program's agent list, where the platform has one, and over every owner's `children.tsv`. Whether or not a stop works, the root has the owner record each stuck subagent as stuck and, if its work is still needed, replace it. Each replacement that stalls gets the same steps. The root takes both steps when the owner cannot. A stall never proves or drops the work. When merges batch, run a retro pass and a post-merge bot-comment sweep. End the tick only when no delegated work is left, even after the last merge. 7. **Stand down instantly on the operator's stop.** The operator's hold or stand-down reaches every owner as a zero-writes order immediately. Owners hold their briefs until the operator releases them. diff --git a/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md b/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md index ef6baa02..1eeee961 100644 --- a/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md +++ b/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md @@ -12,6 +12,6 @@ Steps 3 to 6 are design checks.

Every check must pass. Every bot's latest review body must be acknowledged. No thread may be open, and the PR must be mergeable. When a gate fails, it names every failed gate, exits 10, and does not merge. Fix or report each failed gate. A base branch with a merge queue fails the `merge-queue` gate the same way, because `gh pr merge` would only enqueue the PR, and the queue would land it later without rechecking the verdict, the bot reviews, or the open threads.

On Origin, check the same gates by hand, then squash with `origin pr merge --squash`.

The lead broke the prose landing gates three times in one week: once it merged before reading a bot's review body, once it missed red CI behind the watcher's first blocker, and once it reported CI it had not read. merge-gate reads the latest trusted verdict block (`Verdict:`, `Head:`, `Patch-id:`, `Docs:`) and recomputes the patch-id.

Upstream lands with a bare `gh pr merge` or arms `--auto`, and has no verdict block.

An identical second failure means it was never flake, so reclassify and read the child logs instead of retrying blind. A failure in code the diff never touches means a stale base, so check with `git merge-base --is-ancestor` before assuming flake. Report a stale base as needing a rebase instead of burning retries. Only a failure in the diff's own code gets a commit. -8. **Review bots are triaged skeptically, always.** That covers Bugbot, Copilot code review, GitHub Advanced Security, and any other thread whose author is a bot. On GitHub the watcher marks each thread with `bot` (`null` for a human, otherwise the bot login and its pass count). Verify each claim against the code per `../references/bugbot-triage.md`. Fix real findings with a red-first proof in the lowest PR that owns the code, never at the tip unless the owning PR has merged. In that case, use step 4's sanctioned follow-up PR. Per step 2, upstack fixes wait for step 5's next frontier-driven push wave. Push that wave before replying so the reply cites the commit. On Origin, reply with `origin pr thread reply --body-file `. On GitHub, call `gh api --method POST "repos///pulls//comments//replies" --input ` and put the reply body in the JSON file as data. Never interpolate comment text or a reply into a shell command. Dismiss noise with the concrete disproof on the thread. A `review-findings` blocker gets the same triage, but it has no thread. Fix a real finding red-first and push, and the bot's review of the new head becomes the next check. For noise, or for a fix that lands in another PR, post one PR comment that contains the review's full URL, as the blocker prints it (`https://github.com///pull/#pullrequestreview-`), and gives the disproof or the fixing commit. Write it to a file and post it with `gh pr comment -R / --body-file `. The watcher accepts the link only from the PR author or a repository owner, member, or collaborator. On GitHub, use the watcher's per-bot pass count (`bot.passes`). On Origin, derive the pass count from `origin pr thread list` and the review history. From the third pass on, lean toward dismissing documented patterns, still escalating anything touching security, auth, billing, data, or migrations rather than dismissing it yourself. Never churn code to quiet a bot. +8. **Review bots are triaged skeptically, always.** That covers Bugbot, Copilot code review, GitHub Advanced Security, and any other thread whose author is a bot.

Never churn code to quiet a bot. 9. **Stop at the human's line.** Owner approval is a wait, not a blocker to fix. Babysitting never authorizes merging. Only an explicit request to merge, land, ship, or merge when ready does. Route that request to Shipping. Surface the escalation and keep working the rest. After GitHub reports `READY`, a queued `WAITING`/`merge-queue` stop, or `COMPLETE`, or after Origin reports the frontier forge-ready, sweep the run's triage decisions once. Offer any team-useful dismissal pattern as a candidate entry in the shared rubric (`../references/bugbot-triage.md`) and its own PR. Never keep it only in private memory. **Reply:** the mode, the frontier and its active-forge state, the author result, any required independent review verdict and its examined artifact or pending gap, the watcher's four-column table on GitHub, what you fixed versus dismissed with reasons, what is still pending, and what needs the human. diff --git a/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md b/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md index 1eeee961..7ba4fc33 100644 --- a/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md +++ b/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/code-review.md @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ Steps 3 to 6 are design checks.

For a change across modules, use the **how** skill on the touched code before you judge it. 3. **Check vocabulary and concepts.** Use the **principle-model-the-domain** skill. Grep each new name and the older term it may duplicate. Flag a second name for a concept the code already names. Flag one type that now carries two meanings, and two types merged when their callers use them differently. 4. **Check module boundaries and dependency direction.** Use the **principle-boundary-discipline** skill. Read the import list of every changed domain or policy module. Flag an import of a framework, driver, ORM, IO library, generated schema, or adapter module. Flag validation added deep inside typed code and wire types that leak through a public surface.
