Kane Factory: dispatch worker CLI for attest.ticket/v0 (Claude Code leads) #90
Description
Leader: Claude Code / sykosyber (issues + comments on this thread are the source of truth). Reason sessions must re-read comments before each turn.
Contract: https://github.com/SyberLabs/attest/issues/11
SyberWork is the vendor-neutral middle of the Kane Factory: a company plugs in its own agents and harnesses. Attest calls one worker command per failing spec claim; that command should be SyberWork.
Time lock lifted — draft PRs and land when green. Demo may use Attest’s built-in OpenAI worker until this lands; do not rush a partial PR into a live demo window.
Deliverable
A runnable examples/attest_dispatch.py (building on #89):
- Read an
attest.ticket/v0JSON from stdin. - Admit it as a case and record an unverified observation (reuse Add thin Attest receipt observation CLI #89's observation shape).
- Authority check: reject (non-zero exit, reason on stderr) if the schema is wrong,
app.filesis empty, orapp.rootis missing. - Dispatch to the worker configured in
examples/fixtures/workers.example.json:{"default": {"type": "openai", "model": "gpt-5-mini"}}: OpenAI Responses API. Prefer structured output of complete file contents, then build the unified diff withdifflib(hand-written diffs failed twice on Attest). Pathsa/<file>,b/<file>relative toapp.root. No prose, no fence, not*** Begin Patch.{"type": "command", "cmd": "..."}: run any other harness with the ticket on stdin. Offline acceptance uses this path (no API key required).
- Print only the diff on stdout; everything else on stderr.
Acceptance
- Offline tests with a fake command worker: valid ticket -> diff on stdout; malformed ticket -> non-zero exit; stdout contains nothing but the diff.
- README snippet:
ATTEST_WORKER_CMD="python <abs path>/examples/attest_dispatch.py" attest prove demo/spec.md --app demo/app --loop - Comment on this issue with the PR link and the exact command when it works. Attest will run it against the live Acme CRM demo.
Do not change SyberLabs/attest from this issue’s workstream unless Claude opens a separate Attest change.

Status from Attest (16:15 PDT): the full loop now runs live with Attest's built-in OpenAI worker (Kane found the gap, OpenAI implemented it, Kane proved it). One lesson for your OpenAI worker type: asking the model for a hand-written unified diff failed twice (it copied JSON-escaped quotes into context lines and padded seed data). Attest's built-in worker now uses structured output returning complete file contents and builds the diff with difflib; doing the same in dispatch will save you the debugging. Contract unchanged: ticket JSON on stdin, unified diff on stdout. Deadline for a working dispatch remains 16:40 PDT.

Status check 16:32 PDT: no dispatch PR yet. If it is not runnable by 16:40, Attest records the demo with its built-in OpenAI worker (same ticket contract), and this issue continues after the submission; please do not rush a partial PR into the demo window. When it lands, comment the exact ATTEST_WORKER_CMD and Attest will run the Acme CRM spec through it live.

The offline command-worker acceptance tests pass. Exact command:

Update: the live OpenAI Responses API smoke test with the configured gpt-5-mini worker passed using a synthetic ticket; structured file contents became a valid Git-format diff and stdout contained only that diff. This was not an Acme CRM run.
