Intent

Fix an unbounded-hang bug in bin/fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh found by review gate ship-firstmate-fmsend-verify on 2026-07-15: fm_lock_is_provably_stale's probe/removal path for the packed-refs.lock (the [ -e ] existence check, the lsof live-holder check, and the stat mtime check) ran without the script's own bounded-timeout wrapper (the 'bounded' helper using timeout/gtimeout, FM_NAS_SYNC_TIMEOUT) that every other filesystem/git touch of the NAS deploy checkout already uses. On a degraded/unreachable NAS mount - the exact failure mode this script exists to be resilient against - those calls could block indefinitely, hanging fm-teardown.sh's post-teardown call instead of honoring the script's documented best-effort, always-exit-0, bounded-timeout contract. Fix: added a bounded_is_provably_stale() wrapper in bin/fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh that execs fm_lock_is_provably_stale (from bin/fm-lock-lib.sh, left untouched since it is a shared lib also used unbounded by fm-teardown.sh and fm-fleet-sync.sh for non-NAS checkouts where this hang risk does not apply) inside a fresh bash -c under the existing bounded() timeout helper, since timeout/gtimeout can only bound a real subprocess, not an in-process shell function - the function chain (fm_lock_is_provably_stale, fm_lock_has_live_holder, fm_lock_lsof_holder, fm_lock_age, fm_lock_path_mtime, fm_lock_log) is exported via export -f for the child bash to see. Also bounded the adjacent [ -e ] existence check and the rm -f lock removal in the same code path for full removal-path coverage, reusing the same bounded() helper rather than inventing a new mechanism. Extended tests/fm-nas-deploy-sync.test.sh with test_stale_lock_probe_lsof_hang_is_bounded: fakebin shims make every git fetch fail with the packed-refs.lock signature (forcing the retries-exhausted stale-probe path) and make lsof hang for 20s; verified this reproduces a 21s+ hang against the pre-fix code and completes in ~1s (bounded by FM_NAS_SYNC_TIMEOUT) with the fix. Both changed files pass shellcheck cleanly (one intentional SC2016 suppressed with a disable comment, since the bash -c script is deliberately single-quoted so the timeout'd child shell expands its own positional args, not the parent's). Note: a prior run of this same fix hit an unrelated pipeline infra failure (auto-fix-tests agent crashed with fork/exec argument list too long) after the rebase gate was approved to bundle 62 unrelated unpushed local-main commits (71 files) - now confirmed reproducible across sibling tasks when that bundling happens. This run intentionally SKIPS the rebase-bundling gate to keep the diff small and avoid re-triggering that crash.

What Changed

  • Added bin/fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh to auto-sync live NAS deployments after a landed ship task, then hardened it end-to-end: the packed-refs lock path resolution, the stale-lock existence/lsof/mtime probe, and the lock removal all now run inside the script's bounded() timeout wrapper (via a bounded_is_provably_stale() shim around the shared fm_lock_is_provably_stale), so a degraded or unreachable NAS mount can no longer hang fm-teardown.sh indefinitely.
  • Added mechanical dispatch/quality guardrails: quota-balanced crew dispatch selection, model/effort tiering with bin/fm-tier-guard.sh, a bin/fm-risk-tripwire.sh safety floor, and an bin/fm-ultracode-guard.sh independent-review gate, along with .agents/skills/verify-trivial for the trivial-tier verification path.
  • Added bootstrap alerting for failed autodeploy logs and failed critical systemd services, and shipped reliability fixes across spawn (per-worktree docker-compose isolation, crewmate auto-compact), teardown (landed-content detection via origin or local ref), merge-local (auto-push scoping), turnend-guard (watcher re-arm polling), crew-state (hard-timeout reads), and the composer (no-break-space padding handling).

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The round-1 finding (unbounded cd/pwd -P in packed_refs_lock_path against a hung NAS mount) is correctly fixed by wrapping the resolution in bounded bash -c, mirroring the existing bounded_is_provably_stale pattern exactly (same timeout mechanism, same positional-arg-passing to avoid injection, same shellcheck disable rationale); a new regression test (test_packed_refs_lock_path_resolution_hang_is_bounded) exercises the exact hang scenario via an exported cd() shim scoped to a subshell and verifies both the 1s bound and the resulting skip message. No other unbounded filesystem/git touch of $NAS_PATH remains in the file, and the change is minimal (4 lines in bin/, a self-contained new test).

Testing

Ran the targeted regression suite (tests/fm-nas-deploy-sync.test.sh, 11/11 passing) against the fix, and additionally reproduced the pre-fix bug in an isolated /tmp copy of the repo by substituting each historical (pre-fix) script revision — confirming the new tests genuinely hang for 21s and 40s respectively without each of the two fix commits, and complete in ~1s with both applied, which directly demonstrates the unbounded-hang bug was real and is now bounded as intended.

Evidence: fm-nas-deploy-sync.test.sh full run at target commit (all pass)
ok - a clean, behind NAS checkout fast-forwards and its pm2 process restarts and verifies online
ok - a dirty NAS checkout is reported STUCK and left completely untouched
ok - a diverged NAS checkout is reported STUCK and left completely untouched
ok - a clustered pm2 app with one lagging instance is reported as a restart problem, not masked as online
ok - a project absent from data/nas-deployments.md is a silent no-op
ok - a hung NAS fetch is killed by FM_NAS_SYNC_TIMEOUT instead of blocking the caller
ok - a transient packed-refs.lock signature on the NAS fetch is retried instead of giving up immediately
ok - a hung lsof holder check during the packed-refs.lock stale probe is killed by FM_NAS_SYNC_TIMEOUT instead of blocking the caller
ok - a hung packed-refs-lock path resolution (cd/pwd -P against a degraded NAS mount) is bounded by FM_NAS_SYNC_TIMEOUT
ok - a project checked with no data/nas-deployments.md at all is a silent no-op
ok - a landed ship-task teardown invokes fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh, which syncs and restarts the live NAS deployment
Evidence: Manual pre-fix vs post-fix reproduction summary
# Manual verification: fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh unbounded stale-lock probe fix

Branch: fm/fix-fm-nas-sync-stale-lock-unbounded
Base:   1346ff719c42792571586e25a68b549c28b0a2d3
Target: 9f1a3f75e2616424666c29e437af38fdc8f12840 (HEAD, worktree left clean throughout)

## What was checked

Reproduced the pre-fix hang independently, outside the worktree (/tmp/nas-sync-prefix-check,
a full `git archive HEAD` copy with only bin/fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh swapped for older
revisions), by running the *current* (fixed) test file's two new regression tests against
each historical version of the script.

## Results

1. Pre-fix script (eaef5c1, before either fix commit) + current tests:
   `test_stale_lock_probe_lsof_hang_is_bounded` FAILS - sync took 21s (stub sleeps 20s),
   confirming the lsof/stat stale-lock probe really did hang unbounded before commit 4164f9b.

2. Script after only the first fix (4164f9b) + current tests:
   `test_stale_lock_probe_lsof_hang_is_bounded` now passes, but
   `test_packed_refs_lock_path_resolution_hang_is_bounded` FAILS - sync took 40s (two
   unbounded `cd "$NAS_PATH" && pwd -P` calls in packed_refs_lock_path, each hit by the
   20s cd-hang stub), confirming commit 9f1a3f7's follow-up fix addressed a genuinely
   separate, still-unbounded hang path left after the first commit.

3. Full target commit (9f1a3f7, current worktree HEAD) + current tests:
   All 11 tests in tests/fm-nas-deploy-sync.test.sh pass, full suite completes in ~8.4s
   (both new hang-probe tests bounded to ~1s each via FM_NAS_SYNC_TIMEOUT=1 in-test).
   See fm-nas-deploy-sync.test.sh.fixed.log in this directory.

## Conclusion

The fix genuinely closes both unbounded hang paths (lsof/stat stale-lock probe, and
packed-refs-lock path cd/pwd resolution) in fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh's degraded-NAS
recovery path, and the two new tests are effective regressions - they fail against
either pre-fix revision and pass only once both fixes are present.

🔧 **Review** - 1 issue found → auto-fixed ✅
  • ⚠️ bin/fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh:132 - The commit's stated goal is 'full removal-path coverage' for the stale-lock probe/removal sequence, and it correctly bounds test -e, fm_lock_is_provably_stale, and rm -f. But packed_refs_lock_path() (called at lines 149 and 164, immediately upstream of those newly-bounded calls, to compute the very $lock value they operate on) still does abs=$(cd "$NAS_PATH" && pwd -P) unbounded. git -C "$NAS_PATH" rev-parse --git-path packed-refs.lock normally returns a path relative to $NAS_PATH (e.g. .git/packed-refs.lock) for a plain deployment clone with no external git-dir, so the case ... /*) ... *) cd/pwd -P fallback branch is the common path taken on essentially every call, not a rare corner case. On the exact degraded/unreachable NAS mount this fix targets, cd "$NAS_PATH" or pwd -P can itself block indefinitely (a chdir/getcwd syscall against a hung mount), hanging the caller before the script ever reaches the newly-bounded calls - reproducing the same unbounded-hang bug this commit fixes, just one function call earlier. Wrap this resolution the same way bounded_is_provably_stale wraps fm_lock_is_provably_stale (e.g. abs=$(bounded bash -c 'cd "$1" && pwd -P' bash "$NAS_PATH") || return 1).

Two treehouse worktrees of the same project share a leaf directory
basename, so Compose's default project-naming collides across them on
container/volume/network names. fm-spawn.sh now derives a stable name
from the worktree's own pool-slot path and drops it at
.treehouse-compose-project (git-excluded, like the other turn-end
pointer files), recorded in meta as compose_project=. fm-brief.sh tells
ship/scout crewmates to consume it on every docker compose invocation
and to avoid fixed host ports as a second collision vector.
…r-compose note to fm-brief.sh header comment
Claude crewmates and secondmates are separate claude processes launched
by fm-spawn.sh; they never inherit the primary's .claude/settings.local.json,
so they only compact at the hard context wall instead of proactively.

Add CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW=200000 to the claude launch template.
The var is capped at the model's real context window, so a fixed 200000
lands auto-compaction around 200k regardless of whether the spawned model's
window is 200k or (as verified live for --model sonnet on this account,
which carries the 1M-context beta) ~1M. The primary's own two-var form
(WINDOW=1000000 + PCT_OVERRIDE=20) assumes a 1M window and is not safe to
copy blindly for a smaller-window model/account combination.

grok, codex, opencode, and pi launches are left untouched: grok's binary
is not verified to honor Claude Code env vars, and the other three ignore
them harmlessly but should not carry a var meant for a harness they aren't.
Bump CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW from 200000 to 300000 for claude
crewmates and secondmates, matching the primary session's own updated
target.

The override is capped at the model's real context window, so it is a
no-op below 300000 and only takes effect above it; today's standard
--model sonnet crewmate spawn resolves to the ~1M-context beta, well
above the new threshold. Updated the fm-spawn.sh header comment,
launch_template() comment, and the harness-adapters SKILL.md fact to
describe this conditional behavior instead of the "regardless of
window" framing that only held at the old 200000 value.
content_in_default() only ever diffed a branch against the fetched
refs/remotes/origin/$name, so a no-mistakes-mode task whose branch was
merged into the LOCAL default branch by hand (e.g. after its upstream
PR was closed unmerged) was never recognized as landed and teardown
refused it. It now also checks the local refs/heads/$name ref.
…tests

content_in_default()'s diff-based comparison (from local main's own prior
rewrite) no longer depends on git merge-tree --write-tree, so the two
tests that used to skip themselves on older git now run and pass here.
* Add quota-balanced dispatch selection

* no-mistakes(document): Document dispatch selector guidance
Extends config/crew-dispatch.json's schema with model/effort/ultracode
axes per the resource-tiering design: docs/examples/crew-dispatch.json
gains rules for the firstmate-repo supervision-backbone carve-out,
safety-critical/security/migration work (opus/xhigh, ultracode-flagged),
and architectural/product tradeoffs (opus/xhigh).

Adds the four hardened guardrails as mechanical checks rather than prose
aspirations:
- bin/fm-tier-guard.sh: firstmate-observable escalation triggers (diff
  size and elapsed time vs. the trivial tier's envelope, plus a general
  heavy-scale ceiling for any tier).
- bin/fm-risk-tripwire.sh: a keyword/path trip-wire against a task's
  brief and diff, independent of the natural-language dispatch match.
- bin/fm-ultracode-guard.sh: flag/reviewed/check subcommands that
  mechanically confirm a genuinely independent second pass ran before an
  ultracode-flagged task reaches PR-ready.
- A documented model-verification gate in AGENTS.md section 4, extending
  the existing unverified-harness discipline to model names.

Verification tiering (light/standard/heavy no-mistakes runs) is
deliberately out of scope here and left for a follow-up change.
The read-tree portability rewrite restructured content_in_default() into
an if/elif that checks exactly one candidate ref: the fetched origin ref
when a remote exists, falling back to the local ref only when there is no
remote at all. That silently dropped the case a no-mistakes-mode project
with a closed, unmerged PR but work fast-forwarded into local main by
hand - the fetched origin ref exists but does not contain the work, so
the local ref is never even checked. Restore checking both candidates in
sequence via a shared content_matches_ref helper, matching the pre-rewrite
behavior tests/fm-teardown.test.sh's local-land regression test expects.
A merged PR does not, by itself, reach the live site: deployed apps run from a
separate checkout under /mnt/nas/experiments/<name>/, managed by pm2,
independent from the projects/<name> clone used for development. This gap
required a manual pull+restart to notice and fix.

bin/fm-nas-deploy-sync.sh fast-forwards a project's live NAS checkout and
restarts its pm2 process(es), looked up from a captain-private
data/nas-deployments.md mapping (best-effort, non-fatal, mirrors
fm-fleet-sync.sh's dirty/diverged safety exactly). bin/fm-teardown.sh now
calls it automatically after a landed ship task, including local-only merges.

…late

Post-swap origin is the captain's fork, so /updatefirstmate only
converges the fleet onto that fork (a no-op on the primary source of
truth) and never pulls the read-only upstream template. Folding
upstream-template improvements into local main is the separate reviewed
reconciliation task surfaced by the UPSTREAM_DRIFT bootstrap line, not a
self-update. Note it inline in AGENTS.md section 12 and in the
updatefirstmate skill.
The turn-end guard blocked essentially every turn during a legitimate
watcher re-arm, not just a genuine supervision gap. fm_watcher_healthy
requires a live, identity-matched watcher lock with zero grace, but a
backgrounded re-arm needs a brief moment, roughly 0.25-0.3s measured,
more under load, to fork the new watcher and register its lock after
the old one released it. The Stop hook fired inside that gap on
essentially every re-arm, so it blocked with no real supervision lapse.

The pull-based warning banner tolerates this same gap because it checks
only beacon freshness with a 300s grace. The turn-end guard's sharper
live-lock check had no equivalent tolerance.

Replace the single fm_watcher_healthy check with a bounded poll: retry
every 0.2s, mirroring the watcher-arm script's own confirm loop, and
block only once a deadline passes still unhealthy. The deadline
defaults to FM_ARM_CONFIRM_TIMEOUT (10s), the same budget the arm gives
itself to confirm, and is independently overridable via
FM_TURNEND_ARM_WAIT.

A watcher that is genuinely missing, dead, or identity-mismatched for
the whole window still blocks; it now takes up to that deadline instead
of blocking on the first check. This intentionally slows the
truly-blind path (no arm in flight at all), which is the documented
tradeoff.

Update docs/turnend-guard.md's Shared Predicate section, the contract's
one authoritative statement, to describe the bounded poll instead of an
immediate block.

Testing: tests/fm-turnend-guard.test.sh's test_hook_runs_fast now pins
the bounded-poll latency instead of asserting a near-instant return, and
a new test_hook_allows_watcher_that_registers_mid_poll confirms a lock
that registers partway through the window is let through rather than
blocked. Other block-path tests default to a short override so the
suite stays fast; ran the lint gate and the full behavior suite (41
tests, all passing).
Crew session for this task crashed (tmux/captain core dump). This
commit preserves in-flight work from the orphaned worktree so it is
not lost. A tar backup also exists under
/home/orangepi/fm-recovery-backups/.
fm_test_tmproot installed its EXIT trap and appended to
FM_TEST_CLEANUP_DIRS from inside a command-substitution subshell, so
neither ever reached the calling script: the trap fired (and deleted
the just-created dir) the instant the subshell exited, and the array
mutation never propagated back. Every run of the secondmate suites
therefore leaked its temp root, growing worse under SIGKILL (e.g. the
OOM killer) since no trap can run for that signal regardless.

Move registration to an on-disk manifest, which survives the subshell
boundary, and install the EXIT trap once at source time in the real
top-level shell. Add a startup sweep for leftover
<prefix>.<pid>.XXXXXX roots whose owning PID is no longer alive, as
the actual safety net for the SIGKILL case, and call it from both
secondmate suites before they claim their own root.
Claude draws its cleared composer prompt as the glyph "❯" followed by a
non-breaking space (U+00A0), not an ASCII space. Under a glibc UTF-8
locale, [[:space:]] does not classify U+00A0 as whitespace, so the
composer classifier's ASCII-only trimming left the U+00A0 behind as
phantom content and read an otherwise-empty composer as pending.
fm-send's submit-verify loop then exhausted its retries and returned the
false "Enter swallowed" / exit 1 the caller saw against genuinely
submitted steers to a claude target.

Normalize U+00A0 and its narrow sibling U+202F to an ASCII space before
classifying, so a composer empty but for no-break padding reads empty on
every backend while real typed text separated by a no-break space still
classifies pending. Add tests/fm-composer-nbsp.test.sh pinning the fix
at four layers: the shared classifier, the tmux composer reader on the
real captured bytes, the submit loop, and the full fm-send exit code.
fm-merge-local.sh pushed to origin unconditionally whenever a local-only
project happened to have one, contradicting the documented local-only
contract of no remote, no PR. Auto-push now applies only when PROJ resolves
to firstmate's own repo (the deliberate fork-sync case); every other
project needs an explicit --push-origin.

Also bundles three small pre-existing fixes touched during this review:
fm-teardown.sh no longer runs the NAS deploy sync hook on a forced
teardown, fm-ultracode-guard.sh validates the role argument before writing
it into the line-based .ultracode marker file, and fm-bootstrap.sh's
upstream fetch now falls back to gtimeout or a background-kill bound when
timeout is unavailable, instead of fetching unbounded.
…kip and added missing FM_UPSTREAM_FETCH_TIMEOUT var
Add a config/autodeploy-logs sweep to fm-watch.sh's heartbeat fleet-scan.
Each configured status log's last line is read on every heartbeat, and a
failure (an ALERT rollup or a STUCK:/FAILED: line in fleet-sync's
convention) surfaces once as a check wake carrying that line until it
clears; a later healthy run re-arms the alarm. Mirrors bootstrap's
critical_services_check but fires periodically, so a deploy failure
between sessions is caught instead of waiting for the next session start.

Absent config, a healthy "ok" last line, or a missing/unreadable log (a
NAS hiccup) are all silent and non-fatal, so the check stays cheap enough
to run every heartbeat without spurious alarms. Config is gitignored and
absent by default, so it is a no-op for fleets that do not opt in.
Factor the failure predicate into the shared bin/fm-autodeploy-lib.sh
(fm_autodeploy_line_failed), sourced by both the fm-watch.sh sweep and a
new fm-bootstrap.sh autodeploy_logs_check, so an idle fleet catches a
deploy failure at the next session start exactly as critical-services
already does. One owner for the match set; docs and colocated tests
updated to match.
On a hung NAS mount the tail read of an autodeploy status log could block
the watcher heartbeat (and the bootstrap check). Wrap the read in the
shared fm-autodeploy-lib.sh behind a bounded timeout and treat a timeout
as unreadable, preserving the existing fail-quiet behavior for missing or
unreadable logs. Both read sites go through the one shared helper.
…b and sweep

When config/autodeploy-logs names a log but no read-timeout mechanism
(timeout, gtimeout, or perl) is on PATH, fm_autodeploy_read_last_line
fails every read and the autodeploy-alert feature silently never fires.
Surface a one-time AUTODEPLOY_INERT bootstrap diagnostic in that case so
the captain learns alerting is disabled rather than assuming a healthy
deploy; the transient missing or unreadable log path stays fail-quiet.
Document the FM_AUTODEPLOY_LOG_READ_TIMEOUT knob with the other timeout
overrides and describe the heartbeat autodeploy sweep in the event-driven
supervision architecture.
Independent review found the detected failure format attributed to
firstmate's fleet-sync convention (bin/fm-fleet-sync.sh) in five places,
including the primary ok/ALERT rollup example. fm-fleet-sync.sh emits the
STUCK:/needs-attention alert line but never an ok or ALERT rollup; that
rollup is an external per-project autodeploy tool's own convention (e.g.
beamanalyzer's deploy job). Rephrase all five sites to name the external
tool as the rollup's source, keep firstmate's own STUCK:/FAILED:/
needs-attention format, and point at the one-owner match set
(bin/fm-autodeploy-lib.sh's fm_autodeploy_line_failed) instead of
implying bin/fm-fleet-sync.sh produces the format.

…keys exist

A scout task with no captain decision holds had no way to pass
command_verify() without a tasks-axi build exposing the captain-hold
contract, unlike every other tasks-axi touchpoint in this repo, which
falls back to manual backlog handling when tasks-axi is incompatible.
Move the decisions_reviewed/decision_keys read ahead of
require_tasks_axi and only call it once decision_keys is non-empty.
Reconciles main's 4 independent hard-timeout commits (65cfe80..f62c426)
with this branch's upstream sync (f997c00) and decision-hold fix
(eaef5c1). Verified conflict-free via git merge-tree simulation before
merging.
fm_lock_is_provably_stale's [ -e ], lsof, and stat probes ran without
this script's own bounded-timeout wrapper, unlike every other
filesystem/git touch of the NAS checkout. A degraded NAS mount - the
exact failure mode this script exists to tolerate - could hang the
probe indefinitely, blocking fm-teardown.sh's caller instead of
exiting 0 as documented.

timeout/gtimeout only bound a real subprocess, not an in-process shell
function, so bounded_is_provably_stale execs the check (and its
fm-lock-lib.sh dependency chain, exported for the child shell) in a
fresh bash -c under the existing bounded() wrapper.
