What

Drains the deferred-work ledger accumulated by Wave 2's review iterations: 67 DW entries
(DW-1 … DW-94) closed across 45 commits, plus the #414 isolation-conflict refusal that
review iteration 6 surfaced in bmad-loop resolve.

Why

Wave 2 (#744) landed the re-arm contract, but its four review iterations and four bot-review
rounds parked their findings in deferred-work.md rather than widening that PR. This is the
follow-through. Leaving the ledger undrained meant the next wave would inherit a backlog whose
entries had already been verified against the codebase.

How

  • Re-arm and baseline seam (DW-40, DW-79, DW-81, DW-83, DW-85) — rearm_escalation becomes
    a transaction from the spec flip to save_state; a failed commits probe journals
    rearm-commits-probe-failed instead of reading byte-identical to "no commits found".
  • Root identity (DW-14, DW-35, DW-56 … DW-63, DW-87) — repo_root is recorded in run
    state.json and re-stamped on resume, so an out-of-process re-arm uses the tree the run
    measured. bmad-loop resolve now warns before a divergent-root session launches, and
    refuses the #414 isolation conflict before the interactive session rather than after it
    has already mutated.
  • Source-scan parity guards (DW-65, DW-66, DW-82, and the two new guard commits) —
    three enumerate-vs-declare inventories in tests/test_portability_guard.py: 204 literal
    journal kinds, _refuse_*/_reject_* helper definitions counted with multiplicity, and the
    eleven #414-family isolation-refusal call sites. Each detector arm carries must-flag and
    must-stay-silent probe rows, so a detector that stops detecting cannot read as green.
  • Diagnostics, journal, verify and TUI residuals (DW-1 … DW-12, DW-15 … DW-18, DW-33,
    DW-41 … DW-54, DW-67 … DW-77, DW-84, DW-86, DW-89, DW-91, DW-93, DW-94).

Testing

uv run pytest -q -n logical — 7981 passed, 51 skipped. uv run pyright — 0 errors,
0 warnings, 0 informations. trunk check --all --no-fix — 259 files, no issues.
Every negative assertion added here was ablated (gating code deleted, test confirmed to fail)

entry why it stays open
DW-13 _notice_reason's display cap belongs to Wave 3/#734, which is chartered to unify all six display surfaces. No line-shape test can be written before that fix lands without asserting the very behaviour deferred.

DW-64 Follow-up review recommended after the damping cap was spent.
DW-78 Registering patch by name covers three kinds beyond the two the entry named — intended and documented, flagged for a second look.

…proof-of-work

The parked leg of `verify_dev` selected the proof-of-work skip from state a
fresh session can inherit: the `[operator] enabled` policy flag plus the spec's
own `awaiting-operator` status. A spec an earlier attempt left parked still
reads parked to the next session, so a re-drive that did nothing selected
#676's relaxation and verified green on someone else's declaration.

The skip is now `parked and park_eligible`, giving it the two-sided shape
plan-halt already has. `Engine._park_eligible_at_dispatch` records, on the
fresh entry into `_dev_phase` and from the same instant as `baseline_commit`,
whether the story's bound spec was already at `awaiting-operator`. Anchoring it
to the phase rather than the attempt keeps a fixable repair of a malformed park
eligible — that retry deliberately inherits the previous session's tree.

Eligibility gates the skip and nothing else: the status pair, actions list,
workflow tag, baseline match and sprint pair all still select on the observed
status, so an inherited park carrying a real diff passes as before.

When the skip does fire on an accepted park, the shared gate now runs its
proof-of-work probe as an observation — from its own `proof_baseline`, so a
commit that reached a shared checkout from outside the session cannot be
credited — and the answer travels out on the return value to
`_verify_dev_artifacts`, which journals `park-proof-of-work-skipped` with
`zero_diff`. A park that wrote code and a park that wrote nothing are no longer
indistinguishable after the fact.
…proof-of-work

Give the parked leg's proof-of-work skip a two-part selector: the session's
observed `awaiting-operator` status AND an expectation the orchestrator records
at dev-phase dispatch (the story's bound spec was not already parked). The
expectation is captured once per phase, on the same anchor as the attempt
baseline, so a fixable repair still passes; only the skip narrows, so an
inherited park with a real diff passes as before (DW-1).

Return the waiver upward on `VerifyOutcome` and journal
`park-proof-of-work-skipped` with a `zero_diff` flag at
`Engine._verify_dev_artifacts`, so a park that wrote nothing and one that wrote
real code stop being indistinguishable. The observation runs through the shared
gate's own probe, so it cannot drift from the baseline the skipped gate would
have used (DW-6).
Stop a second resolve cycle re-presenting CRITICAL escalations the human
already answered.

`runs.rearm_escalation` stamps `task.escalations_resolved_upto =
len(task.sessions)` beside the existing unconditional generation bump, gated
on a new required keyword-only `resolution_recorded` supplied by the caller
rather than read from `resolution.json` — that marker survives the re-arm
that consumed it, so its presence says nothing about the current gesture.
`resolve._gather_escalations` takes a keyword-only `start` and returns
`(shown, suppressed)` from one walk; `build_context` threads the watermark in
and the count out; `cmd_resolve` prints the count to the operator only when
non-zero and only after the adapter has proved it supports an interactive
session. `context.json`'s key set is unchanged — the agent-facing contract is
untouched. The watermark is projected into `diagnose --json` and the markdown
task table so a short `context.json` can be explained from a bug report.

A re-arm that accepted no resolution — no session, or a session that wrote
none — never moves the watermark, so those paths keep showing the whole trail.
DW-65: extract journal.TASK_CYCLE_ARTIFACTS as the one list both adapters'
start_session unlinks and resolve._gather_escalations share, and guard against
a bare artifact literal re-introducing the drift.

DW-66: guard that a session task id is composed only in engine._session_task_id,
so a fifth hand-mint cannot omit the -g<N> re-arm suffix and re-open #705.

DW-82: guard that every journal field name is routed by diagnostics' redaction
tables -- by name, and by kind where the table is kind-scoped -- or declared
benign. The measured premise (renaming patch to patch_path leaves all 57
test_diagnostics.py rows green while the dump leaks) now reddens.

Each detector rides the existing single-pass _scan_source and carries positive
and negative probes, so a detector that stops detecting cannot read as green.

Also fixes a leak the inventory exposed: sweep-inflight-stranded journalled
story_keys as a list of raw bundle story keys, which fell through to scrub_json
verbatim while the singular story_key beside it was aliased.
`rearm_escalation` published the status flip and stripped the stale
`## Auto Run Result` about 250 lines before `save_state`, and only two of
the aborts in that window undid those writes. A failing `journal.append`
from the stale-restore residue pass, a non-git fault from the commits
probe, or a failing `save_state` each escaped with the spec re-armed on
disk while persisted state still said ESCALATED (DW-79, DW-83).

Guard the whole window instead, with `save_state` as its single commit
point: any fault rolls the spec back to the bytes the re-arm found and
re-raises the original fault unchanged. `BaseException` rather than
`Exception`, because the window is mostly blocking I/O an operator can
interrupt. The rollback journals `rearm-aborted` carrying `rollback`
(`restored` / `unchanged` / `unknown` / `failed`), which `resolve` and
the TUI render through the one shared routing table — so the residue
notices they echo from a `finally` can no longer be the whole account of
a re-arm that left nothing behind (DW-85). Only `restored` and
`unchanged` license "left exactly as the re-arm found it"; the default
arm claims nothing, so the sentinel-clear leg no longer describes a file
it deleted as untouched.

The two hand-placed `_restore_rearmed_spec` calls are gone — the guard
covers every fault source in the window, so the undo no longer depends
on someone remembering to place it.
…indow

Re-drive of DW-79/DW-83/DW-85 against the corrected intent contract. The
guard landed in 63ddb1f; these are the paths that still left the spec
published against an escalated task.

- The abort record's own journal append absorbs any ordinary Exception,
  not just OSError, so a TypeError from it cannot replace the fault the
  record exists to report. KeyboardInterrupt/SystemExit still leave.
- _restore_rearmed_spec selects its writer by the same lexical rule as
  the three writers it undoes. Calling the confined helper unconditionally
  refused exactly the out-of-root specs the flip and strip could still
  break.
- The preimage capture refuses to publish a flip whose bytes it could not
  read from a file that is there AND that the re-drive reads, gated on the
  same pair as the flip's own refusal.
- A save_state that demonstrably committed is no longer rolled back
  underneath. _rearm_commit_landed asks the disk, the only witness of a
  rename, and degrades to rolling back on any fault of its own.
- The failed remedy names git or the operator's own copy; an untracked or
  out-of-checkout spec has no committed version to recover.

Adds 12 rows across the abort paths, including the interrupt the abort
append must not swallow and the failed outcome on the plain writer arm.
…amp at word boundaries

Three bmad-loop notes from the build-review-economics work:

- devcontract._flatten clamps at a word boundary: a mid-word cut backs up
  to the last join space, a cut ending exactly at a word end keeps the
  full cut, and a single unbroken token keeps the hard clamp (the
  DW-91-style mid-word `reason:` cut).

- The process-exhaust ticket class (DW-55/64/90) is retired: a finalized,
  verify-green story whose review still recommends a follow-up journals
  the spent budget (review-followup-damped / review-budget-committed, the
  `refiled` field dropped, `re_review_capped` and the notify rules kept)
  and files no ledger entry. The refiled_followups record, its model
  field, and the #425 _carry_review_budget_followups carry are removed
  (three post-merge carries remain); DW-90 is closed in the ledger.

- Harvest dedupes cross-spec sightings (DW-88 vs DW-65): a real finding
  that is not this spec's own replay but matches an OPEN entry —
  identical fingerprinted origin harvested from another spec, or a
  `DW-<n>:`-prefixed summary — stamps a `seen-again:` line via the new
  deferredwork.mark_seen_again_many instead of filing a duplicate, and
  never enters harvested_deferrals, so the isolated carry cannot re-file
  it. Done entries never match; recurrence after a close files fresh.
  The spec-deferrals-harvested event gains an additive `seen_again`
  field. DW-88 is closed as a duplicate of DW-65.

…59, DW-60, DW-61, DW-62, DW-63 via bmad-loop
`cmd_resolve` checked `isolation = "worktree"` beside a `repo_root:` override
only after the confirm, so an operator built adapters, conversed with a full
agent and answered the re-arm prompt before being handed rc 1 for a pair that
was knowable from config the whole time. `cmd_run` and `cmd_sweep` refuse it
before provisioning anything. The check now also runs in the pre-session arm,
and the `bmadconfig.load_paths` read moves above `_make_adapters` so it can
precede the adapter build for the reason `cmd_run` puts it ahead of its queue
and worktree-clean gates: this refusal says the configuration cannot run at
all, so an adapter fault reported first sends the operator at the wrong
problem. Ordering only -- `load_paths` is a read and its degrade arm is
unchanged. The post-confirm refusal stays the authority: it re-reads the config
after a conversation of unbounded length, and it is the only one that
`--no-interactive` reaches.

`restamp_code_root` now journals `rearm-code-root-restamped`. It is the
gesture on which the code root actually moved, and it was the one leaving no
durable trace: the re-stamp aligns the mirror `_resume_paused_run` later
compares against config, so by the time `run-resume` computes
`code_root_changed` the two necessarily agree and it records false. A stderr
line and a TUI toast are not records.

`rearm-spec-flip-skipped` carries `reaches_redrive`. `refused` is False for two
disjoint reasons and a reader out of process cannot re-derive which, so the
renderer asserted worktree behaviour -- "it mounts a fresh worktree and reads
the COMMITTED spec" -- on a run that mounts nothing, telling the operator a
failed flip was harmless at exactly the moment it is not. A record written
before the field keeps the wording it was written under.
`stale-restore-excluded` drops its completed-past-tense claim about a baseline
that an abort never persists.

Three of those fixes had landed with no test. Rows were added for each at the
lowest layer that catches the regression, and `reaches_redrive` is declared in
`JOURNAL_BENIGN_FIELDS`, which the routing guard had failed on. Every new
negative assertion was ablated serially against a cp backup under
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 and graded on the named test reddening.

Four documentation defects found by the same review are corrected. A `Changed`
bullet claimed diagnose routes "by field name across every entry rather than by
kind, so no existing run's dump changes shape" -- false in both halves, and it
contradicted the `Security` entry beside it; the kind table does change
pre-existing dumps, for `target` on the three merge kinds and `sentinel` on
`sentinel-cleared`. Three `Fixed` entries repaired defects no released version
had, and are folded into the `Added`/`Changed` entries that introduce them
rather than deleted, since a release promotes `Unreleased` verbatim. The
`Security` entry states that the branch-name leak pre-dates this work and that
#640 names the work that found it rather than a reporting issue. README gains
the resume hold and lists `resolve` among what the #414 pair refuses.
Enumerate-vs-declare inventories for the two surfaces review iteration 6
kept re-finding by hand: 200 literal journal kinds (JOURNAL_KINDS, fed by
a literal-kind emit that also sees kind-only and constructor-inline
writes), nine _refuse_*/_reject_* helper defs (REFUSAL_HELPER_DEFS,
Counter multiplicity), and the eleven #414-family isolation-refusal call
sites (ISOLATION_CONFLICT_CALLERS, with multiplicity). Exact in both
directions; every new detector arm carries must-flag and must-stay-silent
probe rows.
…at once

Review pass 2 follow-ups to 8100c53:

- A second journalkindliteral arm reads the literal kind= a caller hands a
  declared dynamic-kind position, and that position's kind parameter default,
  so review-skipped, review-skipped-awaiting-operator, sweep-bundle-closed and
  sweep-bundle-reclosed join JOURNAL_KINDS (200 -> 204). Only the f-string
  family stays outside the inventory; header, docstring, testing.md and
  CHANGELOG now say so. Must-flag rows landed failing-first.
- test_journal_kind_inventory_is_complete grades undeclared and stale from one
  scan in one assertion (_journal_kind_inventory_drift), so a rename's single
  failure names both the new spelling and the stale row; a synthetic-findings
  probe pins the helper.
- State the constructor arm's bounds: a Journal subclass constructed inline,
  super().append inside _RearmJournal's override, and an import-aliased
  constructor are invisible to the journal scan.
- docs/testing.md: the "four detectors carry probe matrices" bullet rewritten
  to the current family list.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change hardens run lifecycle coordination, verification, adapter filesystem access, escalation resolution, worktree recovery, diagnostics, and deferred-work handling. It adds state locks, structured verification results, root-aware context, transactional re-arm behavior, and broad regression coverage.

Changes

Runtime hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
State and lifecycle coordination
src/bmad_loop/journal.py, src/bmad_loop/runs.py, src/bmad_loop/cli.py, src/bmad_loop/runsetup.py
Run-state publication, resume, cleanup, and composition now use canonical locks, liveness checks, and ownership claims.
Verification and engine flow
src/bmad_loop/verify.py, src/bmad_loop/engine.py, src/bmad_loop/stories_engine.py, src/bmad_loop/sweep.py
Verification supports structured proof outcomes, spawn faults, review-stage journaling, and journal-only review-budget accounting.
Resolution and re-arm behavior
src/bmad_loop/resolve.py, src/bmad_loop/devcontract.py, src/bmad_loop/model.py, src/bmad_loop/tui/app.py
Resolution context tracks roots and escalation watermarks. Re-arm and replan operations restore spec bytes after in-window failures and return authoritative notices.
Worktree and adapter safety
src/bmad_loop/workspace.py, src/bmad_loop/worktree_flow.py, src/bmad_loop/recovery_flow.py, src/bmad_loop/adapters/*
Worktree revisions are pinned and validated. Accepted specs are relocated and seeded safely. Adapter task and artifact paths reject redirects and unsafe path shapes.
Diagnostics and contracts
src/bmad_loop/diagnostics.py, src/bmad_loop/bmadconfig.py, src/bmad_loop/sanitize.py, docs/*
Diagnostics use schema-aware sanitization and presence markers. Configuration rejects non-mapping YAML. Documentation records the new lifecycle, verification, root, and safety contracts.
Regression coverage
tests/*
Tests cover locking, races, re-arm rollback, verification stages, divergent roots, worktree recovery, adapter confinement, diagnostics, and deferred-work deduplication.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7899f

The PR changes worktree validation, persisted run identity, cleanup, and recovery behavior, but the current implementation fails on Git 2.34 before completing worktree checks and includes platform-sensitive tests that can fail or provide misleading coverage on Windows and path-symlinked environments. Merge should wait until the Git compatibility behavior and these test defects are corrected or explicitly bounded.

Poem

A rabbit watched the state locks spin,
While tidy markers guarded the bin.
Worktrees pinned their branches tight,
Verify logs captured each flight.
Re-arm notes stayed clear and bright,
And safer paths kept hops upright.

Superseded by a five-PR stack carrying the same 45 commits, split so each slice is reviewable on its own.

Merge bottom-up:

PR slice commits ledger entries
#757 verify proof-of-work + session identity 8 DW-1 … DW-10, DW-12
#758 escalation watermark + re-arm transaction 10 DW-11, DW-65, DW-66, DW-68, DW-70 … DW-73, DW-79, DW-81 … DW-83, DW-85
#759 resolve root context, path resolvers, park assertions 13 DW-14 … DW-18, DW-33, DW-35, DW-36, DW-41 … DW-51
#760 dw3/dw4/dw5 sweeps 11 DW-40, DW-53 … DW-63, DW-67, DW-74 … DW-77, DW-80, DW-84 … DW-94
#761 #414 refusal + guard inventories 3

The split is stacked rather than parallel because the core files are touched throughout the
series — verify.py in 12 of the 45 commits, runs.py in 11, engine.py in 11, cli.py in 9 —
so independent branches cut from main would have conflicted on nearly every slice.

Boundaries were chosen so neither revert pair straddles a PR: cb3bb3d6 / its revert / its
re-application sit entirely within #757, and dc0c36f7 / revert / re-application entirely within
#758. No PR ships a half-reverted tree.

Verified at every tip, not just the last: pytest 7533 / 7724 / 7812 / 7951 / 7981 passed
(51 skipped throughout) and pyright clean at all five.

type check in the Bmad configuration loading flow rejects those non-mapping

Preserve the existing entry-absence behavior and ensure prose or fenced examples

- Line 2264: Update worktree_list to support Git 2.34 by retrying git worktree
list with --porcelain and newline-delimited parsing when the --porcelain -z
invocation raises GitError, or explicitly raise GIT_FLOOR instead. Ensure
worktree_is_registered still performs its identity checks without propagating

Git release notes git worktree list --porcelain -z option added

💡 Result:

The --porcelain option for the git worktree list command was introduced alongside the git worktree list command itself in Git version 2.7.0 [1]. The option is designed to provide an easy-to-parse, stable output format for scripts, which remains consistent across Git versions regardless of user configuration [2][3]. When using this option, the command outputs a list of attributes for each worktree, with a label and value separated by a space on each line. Boolean attributes are represented by a label only, and an empty line signifies the end of the record for a specific worktree [2][4]. It is recommended to combine --porcelain with the -z option, which terminates lines with a NUL character instead of a newline [2][5].

Citations:


🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/git/git "worktree list" "\"-z\"" Git commit

💡 Result:

The -z option for the git worktree list command is designed to be used in conjunction with the --porcelain option to facilitate reliable parsing of output in scripts [1]. When used together (git worktree list --porcelain -z), the command terminates each line of its output with a NUL character (ASCII 0) rather than the standard newline character [1]. This approach allows scripts to correctly parse worktree paths even when those paths contain "unusual" characters, such as newlines, which would otherwise disrupt line-by-line processing [1]. In this porcelain format, the command outputs one line per attribute for each worktree, with labels and values separated by a single space [1]. The first attribute of each worktree record is always worktree, and an empty record (indicated by a NUL-terminated empty line) marks the end of the data for that specific worktree [1].

Citations:


🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/git/git/blob master Documentation/RelNotes "worktree list" "-z"

💡 Result:

The command git worktree list -z is a feature of the Git version control system used to display information about all registered worktrees in an easy-to-parse format [1]. When you run git worktree list --porcelain -z: 1. It provides output in a machine-readable "porcelain" format designed for scripts, which remains stable across different Git versions [1]. 2. The -z flag causes the output to use NUL characters instead of newlines as line terminators [1]. 3. This is particularly useful when worktree paths contain unusual characters, such as newlines, ensuring they can be parsed correctly without ambiguity [1]. The "Documentation/RelNotes" path you mentioned refers to the Git project's release notes, which document feature additions and changes across various versions [2][3][4]. While the worktree functionality itself was introduced in Git 2.7.0 [4], the refinement to include specific flags and formatting like -z with --porcelain has been part of the ongoing evolution of the git worktree command set [1]. You can verify the expected behavior and usage in the official git-worktree documentation [1] or by reviewing the Git project's test suite, such as t/t2402-worktree-list.sh [5].

"Separate worktrees with NUL character" git worktree release

💡 Result:

In Git, you can use the -z option with the git worktree list command to terminate output lines with a NUL character instead of a newline [1][2]. This functionality is designed to be used in conjunction with the --porcelain option (i.e., git worktree list --porcelain -z) [2][3]. It ensures that the output remains machine-parsable even when worktree paths contain newline characters [1][4]. Note that the -z option requires --porcelain; using -z alone without --porcelain will result in an error [4]. This feature was introduced to make script-based parsing of worktree details more robust [4].

Git v2.34 worktree list --porcelain -z support

💡 Result:

The git worktree list --porcelain option is fully supported in Git v2.34 and has been available since the git worktree command was introduced [1][2][3]. The --porcelain flag is designed to provide stable, machine-readable output suitable for scripts, ensuring compatibility across different Git versions regardless of user configuration [1][4][5]. In this format, each attribute of a worktree is listed on its own line, with boolean attributes (such as bare or detached) shown as labels only, and key-value pairs separated by a single space [1][3]. An empty line indicates the end of a record for a specific worktree [1][3]. Additionally, it is recommended to combine --porcelain with the -z flag when parsing output to handle worktree paths that may contain newline characters [1][4]. When -z is used, lines are terminated with a NUL character instead of a newline [1][4].

site:public-inbox.org/git/20210105110219.99610-1-phillip.wood123@gmail.com "-z" worktree list

💡 Result:

The -z option is used with the git worktree list command in conjunction with the --porcelain flag [1][2]. It changes the output format by terminating each line with a NUL character instead of a newline [1][3]. This functionality is specifically designed for scripting, as it allows for the reliable parsing of output even when worktree paths contain newline characters [1][4]. When -z is used, it also prevents the escaping of "unusual" characters in the lock reason, which would otherwise occur under the default behavior governed by core.quotePath [1][2].

Add a Git 2.34-compatible fallback for worktree list --porcelain -z.

Git 2.34.0 supports only --porcelain for git worktree list; its implementation does not define -z. Git therefore rejects this command. worktree_list raises GitError, and worktree_is_registered propagates it before its identity checks. Add a newline-delimited fallback or raise GIT_FLOOR.

Key the racer on the run id, not on Path equality.

cmd_clean derives its run_dir values from runs.list_run_dirs(_project(args)), and _project canonicalizes the project root. On a host where the temp root contains a symlink (for example /var -> /private/var on macOS), the canonical path differs from racer by spelling, so run_dir == racer is never true. The racer is then archived or deleted and the protected assertion fails for a path-spelling reason, not for the contract under test.

The sibling test at lines 409-414 already compares run_id instead, which is spelling-independent.

Two park-assertion rows cannot fail on the term they name. synthesize_result computes park_asserted as a conjunction ending in park_marker_session_authored. Both rows omit that argument, so it defaults to False and the result is False before marker selection or the ORCHESTRATOR_SYNTH_NOTE check is consulted. Each row therefore duplicates the default-False fact that test_synth_genuine_park_marker_defaults_to_unasserted_without_session_provenance already pins at Line 429.

Guard the directory-symlink creation so this row skips instead of failing.

link.symlink_to(external, target_is_directory=True) runs unguarded. On Windows a directory symlink needs SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege or Developer Mode, so this call raises OSError on a runner without that privilege and the test errors instead of skipping.

Two other tests added in this change already handle the same condition by skipping: tests/test_journal.py lines 80-83 and tests/test_generic_tmux.py lines 3253-3256. tests/test_journal.py line 346-353 also documents this exact privilege requirement.

The symlink-external leg is the load-bearing half of this row, so keep it and degrade only where the platform cannot create the link.
