fix: tolerate malformed annotation entries; verify npm publication in its own job (2026-11-08 release blockers) - #1687
This PR fixes the two defects behind the 2026-11-08 auto-release failures.
pm-30tjoh: malformed stored annotation entries crashed every read of their item
A comments, notes or learnings entry that is not a plain object with string fields made sortLogValues throw a TypeError (localeCompare of undefined). Examples are a bare string, a number, null, or an object without text. pm comments, pm notes, pm learnings and pm get then failed with unknown_error, and each failure reached Sentry as an unexpected fault. PM-CLI-3Y came from a sandbox reproduction and blocked today's morning cut at the Sentry telemetry gate (blocker #1686).
compareLogValues reads its keys through logSortFields, which treats a missing or non-string created_at, text or author as "". The comparator is total, and malformed entries are delivered as stored.
The --expect-at guard reads created_at null-safely. A guarded edit of a malformed entry is refused with the typed annotation_entry_mismatch (actual_created_at: null), not a TypeError.
New spec tests/unit/core/item/malformed-annotation-entries.spec.ts.
pm-0jzl5t: release verification shared the build job's timeout and gave up before npm's publish-time scan finished
After the blocker retry, Release run 42454411958 published @unbrained/pm-cli@2026.11.8 at 07:11:28Z. npm's publish-time malware scan (GitHub changelog 2026-07-28) kept the version invisible for over 20 minutes; 2026.11.7 took 5m12s. The verify step ran inside the 60-minute "Build, Test, Publish" job after a 45-minute pre-publish phase, so the job was cancelled at poll 59/60. Acceptance and the GitHub Release were skipped.
release.yml: a new publication job (needs: release, 50 min) runs the npm/npx/bunx verifier (35 min), the installed npm and Bun agent sessions and the previous-release control. It owns the version and previous outputs; installed-acceptance and advertise depend on it. A long npm hold is now recovered with gh run rerun <run-id> --failed without rebuilding or republishing. Publication admission still keys on the unchanged Build, Test, Publish job and its Publish to npm step.
verify-published-release.mjs: the default wait is 120 × 15 s (about 30 min). An exhausted wait names the version, the poll budget, npm's scan and the exact re-run command.
auto-release.yml: the parent limit is 230 minutes, the serial children (60 + 50 + 15 + 5) plus pm-29bwud's reserves (60/30/10).
gate-registry.json and docs/RELEASING.md are updated for the new job, the new budget and the recovery steps.
Contract specs pin the job split, the wait ≥ 30 min, the verify step outlasting the wait, the job outlasting its steps, and the parent covering every child. Both new specs fail against the previous workflow and the previous default.

…ings
A comments, notes or learnings entry that is not a plain object with string
fields (a bare string, a number, null, or an object without text) made every
read of its item throw. sortLogValues ordered entries with
compareLogValues, which called localeCompare on the missing text, so
`pm comments`, `pm notes`, `pm learnings` and `pm get` failed with an
unknown_error instead of delivering the item. Each failure also reached
Sentry as an unexpected fault: PM-CLI-3Y, raised by a sandbox reproduction,
blocked the 2026-11-08 auto-release at the Sentry telemetry gate.
compareLogValues now reads its sort keys through logSortFields, which
treats a missing or non-string created_at, text or author as the empty
string. The comparator is total, so the store keeps a deterministic order
and delivers malformed entries as stored. The --expect-at guard in
assertExpectedAnnotationEntry reads created_at null-safely too. A guarded
edit or delete of a malformed entry is refused with the typed
annotation_entry_mismatch (actual_created_at: null, "an unrecorded time
(malformed entry)") instead of a TypeError.
tests/unit/core/item/malformed-annotation-entries.spec.ts covers three
cases:
- the comparator is total over strings, numbers, null and text-less objects;
- CLI list, get and append work on comments, notes and learnings seeded
with malformed entries;
- the guarded edit of a null entry is refused with the typed error.
pm-30tjoh is closed as a production_defect with gate_evidence naming this
spec as the negative control.
…pm's publish-time scan
On 2026-11-08 the blocker-retry cut tag v2026.11.8 and Release run
42454411958 published @unbrained/pm-cli@2026.11.8 at 07:11:28Z. npm
answered "Your package is being processed": its publish-time malware scan
(GitHub changelog 2026-07-28) holds a new version for about five minutes
and "up to 15 minutes or more". 2026.11.7 became visible 5m12s after
publish; 2026.11.8 was still E404 twenty minutes later.
The "Verify published package on npm, npx, and bunx" step shared the
"Build, Test, Publish" job's 60-minute timeout with a pre-publish phase of
variable length. That phase took 45 minutes that day, against 26 minutes
on 2026-11-07. The job was cancelled at poll 59/60, so registry acceptance
and the GitHub Release were skipped. Re-running would have repeated the
whole 45 minutes before reaching a version that was already published.
Changes (pm-0jzl5t, extending pm-wzmbvn):
- release.yml moves the npm/npx/bunx verifier, the installed npm and Bun
agent sessions and the previous-release control selection into a new
"publication" job. That job needs the release job, has its own 50-minute
limit and a 35-minute verify step, and owns the version/previous outputs.
installed-acceptance and advertise depend on it.
`gh run rerun <run-id> --failed` now recovers a long npm hold by running
only the publication job and the skipped jobs after it. Publication
admission still keys on the unchanged "Build, Test, Publish" job and its
"Publish to npm" step. RELEASE_CONTROL comes from the job's own checkout:
the tag on push, reviewed main on dispatch. The release job no longer
copies it.
- verify-published-release.mjs waits 120 polls of 15 seconds by default
(about thirty minutes). An exhausted wait now names the exact version,
the poll budget, npm's publish-time scan and the publication-only re-run
command, using GITHUB_RUN_ID when it is set.
- auto-release.yml raises the parent limit from 180 to 230 minutes, which
is the sum of the serial child limits (60 + 50 + 15 + 5) plus pm-29bwud's
60/30/10 reserves.
- gate-registry.json lists release.yml#publication for the release-integrity
and package-consumer gates.
- docs/RELEASING.md describes the publication job, the new parent budget
and the recovery: wait for npm view to succeed, re-run only the failed
jobs, then close the blocker issue by hand.
The contract specs pin these budgets:
- the publication job exists and needs the release job;
- the moved steps leave the release job;
- the default wait is at least thirty minutes;
- the verify step outlasts the wait by five minutes;
- the job outlasts the sum of its steps;
- the parent still covers every serial child plus the reserves.
Both new specs fail against the previous release.yml and the 60-poll
default.
Malformed comments, notes, and learnings no longer interrupt sorting or item reads, and are excluded from search results. Editing malformed entries is handled safely; guarded edits that cannot verify the entry return a clear conflict.
Release Improvements
Release verification allows more time for npm package availability. If checks time out, the failure details identify the affected version and explain how to retry publication checks without rebuilding or republishing.
The release workflow now verifies published packages in a separate publication job, with longer npm metadata polling and updated recovery steps. Annotation sorting, search-corpus construction, reads, appends, and edits now handle malformed stored entries. Tests cover both changes.
The verifier now polls npm metadata up to 360 times at 15-second intervals. Failure output includes the package version, wait budget, and publication-only rerun command. Tests cover delayed visibility and exhausted waits.
The release job records the published source commit. The publication job checks out that commit and the reviewed release-control script, runs verification, and supplies version outputs to installed acceptance and advertisement. The publication job limit is 110 minutes, and the Auto Release parent limit is 290 minutes. Tests, gate inventory, and documentation reflect the updated workflow and recovery process.
Sorting safely converts annotation sort keys and preserves legacy comparisons when conversion succeeds. Search-corpus construction keeps string text from object entries. Append and edit paths handle malformed values, and guarded edits report annotation_entry_mismatch. Tests cover sorting, parsing, corpus extraction, reads, appends, and guarded edits.

Summary
This PR keeps malformed annotations readable and gives npm publication checks their own time budget.
Malformed annotations no longer stop item reads and annotation commands.
Release checks wait for npm visibility in a separate job.
The earlier, unnumbered Greptile finding is fixed: logSortField catches failed conversions, and the comparator reads later fields only when needed. The tracking records explicitly defer mixed-timestamp ordering to pm-yo46im and TOON null-row presentation to pm-e3hfv8.

…ished source
Two P2 findings from the Codex review of PR #1687.
Search corpus (pm-30tjoh). Malformed comments, notes and learnings entries
now load, but buildSearchCorpus still mapped every entry to entry.text. A
null entry made the BM25/semantic corpus and the reindex corpus throw,
aborting search for every item, where main had skipped the damaged item with
a warning. annotationTexts keeps only plain-object entries with string
text, matching the textEntries filter that the lexical and filter paths
already use. The new corpus case fails against the previous corpus.ts.
A built-CLI sweep exited 0 and delivered both the damaged and the healthy
item for:
- list, search, get, context
- comments, notes, learnings
- validate, stats, health, activity, graph impact
Publication source (pm-0jzl5t). On workflow_dispatch the publication job
checked out dispatch-time main. Exact-tag recovery of an unpublished tag
publishes from the tag, so the verifiers could read a different
package.json identity and bin contract than the one published. Legacy tag
v2026.8.5, for example, lacks pm-mcp-http. The release job now records
the published source (git rev-parse after source selection, immediately
before "Publish to npm") as its source_sha output, and the publication job
checks out that commit. The previous-release selector still comes from the
reviewed dispatch source, through a sparse checkout, because a recovered
legacy tag may predate it.
registry-acceptance-workflow.spec.ts pins the step order, the outputs and
both checkouts. docs/RELEASING.md describes the source contract.

…nety minutes for npm
Annotations (pm-30tjoh; Codex review round 2 of PR #1687, P2). A stored
`comments[2]: null,null` loaded, but `--if-absent` crashed.
appendAnnotationEntry's duplicate predicate dereferenced entry.author. The
crash hit the CLI, MCP and SDK ifAbsent paths of comments, notes and
learnings. An edit of a malformed entry also spread a bare string into
character keys.
isAnnotationRecord now gates both paths. The duplicate check skips
non-record entries. editedAnnotationEntry replaces a malformed entry with a
well-formed one from the collection's createEntry, so an edit repairs it.
The spec appends twice with --if-absent and repairs by edit in all three
collections; those cases fail against the previous annotations.ts. The
helper is extracted to keep runAnnotationCommand at CodeFactor complexity
16.
Release budget (pm-0jzl5t). @unbrained/pm-cli@2026.11.8 became visible at
08:06:50Z, 55m22s after npm accepted the publish at 07:11:28Z. The previous
cut of this fix waited about thirty minutes, which that hold would still
have exhausted. New budgets:
- the verifier defaults to 360 polls of 15 seconds (about ninety minutes);
- the verify step allows 95 minutes and the publication job 110;
- the Auto Release parent allows 290 minutes: 60 + 110 + 15 + 5 for the
serial child jobs plus the 60/30/10 reserves.
The contract spec caps the parent at 300 minutes, inside GitHub's
360-minute hosted job limit, and requires a default wait of at least sixty
minutes. Runner minutes are free for this public repository, so the longer
wait costs only runner occupancy. A hold longer than the wait is still
recovered by re-running only the publication job.
Merging main brought in the release commit that moved [Unreleased] under
2026.11.8. Regenerating with pm-changelog puts this branch's pm-30tjoh and
pm-0jzl5t entries back under Unreleased, which clears the changelog drift
reported by Gates (static).
…t npm wait
Three minor CodeRabbit findings on PR #1687.
Comparator (pm-30tjoh). compareTimestampStrings compares two parseable
stamps by time and a mixed pair as text, so mixed valid and invalid
created_at values could form an ordering cycle. Example: by time A
(2026-11-08T00:30:00+01:00) < B (2026-11-07T23:45:00Z), but as text
B < X (2026-11-07T99) < A. compareLogValues now groups entries by
hasParseableTimestamp first, with unparseable stamps sorting first, and
compares within each group, so the order is transitive. The new
src/core/shared/time.ts helper shares the memoized parse. The spec sorts
all six orderings of A, B and X and gets the same result.
Refusal text (pm-30tjoh). A guarded edit of an entry stored with
created_at "" printed a blank time, and one stored with created_at 42
printed the raw number. Both now read "an unrecorded time (malformed
entry)", and details.actual_created_at reports a stored string or null.
Exact-tag recovery wait (pm-0jzl5t). The publication job checks out the
recovered tag, so it runs that tag's verifier, whose default may still be
60 polls. The workflow now passes --npm-attempts 360 explicitly; the flag
exists since 2026-05-14. registry-acceptance-workflow.spec.ts requires the
passed value to equal the reviewed DEFAULT_NPM_ATTEMPTS, and the pinned
command in ci-workflow-contract.spec.ts follows.
The new comparator and refusal-text cases fail against the previous code.

… hashes verify
Codex review round 4 of PR #1687 (P2). The canonical annotation order is
hashed into item history: canonicalDocument feeds history hashing and
replay for every existing hash epoch. The previous commit grouped
unparseable created_at stamps first to answer CodeRabbit's cycle finding.
That reordered documents the legacy comparator could already sort, for
example an ISO stamp next to "zzzz". An unchanged history stream written
before the change then reported verify_failed:after_hash_mismatch:entry_1,
and the reordered collection persisted on the next write.
The first cut of the crash fix carried the same risk in a quieter form. It
coerced a missing field to "", while the legacy localeCompare argument read
"undefined", so two entries sharing created_at could flip when one lacked
text.
logSortFields now coerces with String(), as the legacy Date.parse and
localeCompare arguments were, and the grouping (with its time.ts helper)
is reverted. Every document the legacy comparator could sort keeps its
order and its history hashes. Entries that used to make it throw (null, a
bare string, a number, a non-string receiver) now sort deterministically.
A pairwise spec compares the comparator with an inline copy of the legacy
one wherever that copy does not throw: more than 40 pairs covering offsets,
equal instants, "zzzz", "2026-11-07T99", missing text or author, and a
numeric created_at. It fails against both the grouping comparator and the
empty-string version.
A transitive order for mixed stamps needs a versioned canonicalization
transition, so existing epochs keep verifying. That work is filed as
pm-yo46im (open, P3), discovered from pm-30tjoh.
Greptile (P1) and Codex review round 5 (P2) of PR #1687 found the same
regression. The legacy-exact logSortFields converted created_at, text and
author with String() up front. A stored value that is valid JSON but cannot
be converted, such as {"toString": 42} or {"toString": null}, made String()
throw "Cannot convert object to primitive value".
The legacy comparator only converted text and author when created_at
tied, so such an item loaded on main. At fcc3f41 it failed through both
the TOON and the JSON Markdown parser.
logSortKeyString falls back to the value's Object.prototype.toString tag
when String() throws. Where String() succeeds, it is the same ToString the
legacy comparator applied, so legacy equivalence still holds. Codex's
2,000 random sorts (1,898,201 comparator calls) over coercible values all
matched the legacy order.
Tests, both failing against fcc3f41:
- the pairwise legacy spec adds unconvertible text and created_at values
and asserts that no pair throws;
- a full-document spec parses a TOON and a JSON Markdown item carrying
{"toString": null} as text and inside an author array.
The tracker also records the 2026-11-08 auto-release stage receipt on
pm-e70zh5: Sentry gate, a 55m22s npm scan hold, recovery by a
publication-only re-run, and one automatic release that day.
…d fallback
Codex review round 6 of PR #1687 found two P2s, both reachable through
public SDK callers that pass exotic objects.
Eager reads. logSortFields converted created_at, text and author up front,
including fields the legacy comparator never read. A throwing text getter,
a toString that never returns, or a conversion that mutates another entry
could therefore abort, hang or reverse a sort. Plain JSON paid too: texts
nested 5,000 arrays deep cost about 3.4 s on items whose stamps all
differ. compareLogValues now reads created_at first, text only on a
created_at tie and author only on a text tie, in the legacy order.
Fallback. logSortKeyString fell back to Object.prototype.toString, which
invokes a Symbol.toStringTag getter that can itself throw or hang.
logSortField now returns the fixed key "[unconvertible]" when the read or
the conversion throws.
The spec proves that a text getter is never read for distinct stamps and
that a hostile tag getter sorts without throwing; both cases fail against
3b9ef71. The pairwise legacy-equivalence and full-document parse specs
still pass.

step by configuring the action not to restore or save a cache, while keeping the
pinned action version and bun-version unchanged.
Review comments at @scripts/release/verify-published-release.mjs:
- Around line 674-676: Update npmMetadataFailureMessage to distinguish
visibility failures from other metadata errors: provide scan-related recovery
guidance only when the failure is due to metadata visibility, and direct
malformed full-metadata responses or other failures to diagnosis rather than
rerunning publication. Preserve the existing message context and use the failure
reason to select the guidance.
Review comments at @src/core/item/item-format.ts:
- Around line 857-859: Update the annotation-list handling around logSortFields
and compareTimestampStrings so null entries are preserved in the default TOON
output rather than omitted, while keeping the displayed collection complete and
its count accurate.
Review comments at @src/sdk/annotations.ts:
- Around line 213-214: Update the edit flow around isAnnotationRecord and
createEntry so an existing object with a missing or unusable created_at receives
a valid creation timestamp. Preserve its other valid stored fields and retain
the existing behavior for entries with a usable created_at.
Review comments at @tests/unit/core/item/malformed-annotation-entries.spec.ts:
- Line 136: Update the get-output assertion in the malformed annotation entries
test to request the full representation, then assert that the returned
collection contains all three stored entries, including the malformed ones.
Preserve the existing exit-code check.

Codex review round 7 of PR #1687 (P1): tests/integration/release-automation-contract.spec.ts
still pinned the verify command without --npm-attempts 360. The release
workflow's mandatory coverage gate runs that spec, so the next tag release
would have failed before Publish to npm. The pin now includes the explicit
wait. All 8 specs that read release.yml or auto-release.yml pass.
Gates (static) blocked on two tracker assurances:
- tracker-context-quality (active-missing-expected-result-zero): the open
pm-yo46im had no expected_result. It now records the expected and actual
ordering results.
- graph-composition (prose-edge-gaps 1234/1233): the 2026-11-08 stage
receipt on pm-e70zh5 names pm-30tjoh without a typed edge. pm-e70zh5 now
has a related edge to pm-30tjoh, which is addition-safe.
Both assurances, record-integrity and the defect-evidence gate pass, and
changelog:pm:check passes.
…ocess
Gates (coverage) reported 99.99% branches, missing src/sdk/annotations.ts:213.
The repair-by-edit and --if-absent cases ran only through CLI subprocesses,
which coverage does not instrument. A new in-process case drives runComments,
runNotes and runLearnings through both isAnnotationRecord(false) branches: the
duplicate check and the edit repair.
Release workflow (pm-0jzl5t):
- [Major] Every setup-bun step in release.yml (release, publication and
installed-acceptance) now sets no-cache: true. A Bun binary restored from
a poisoned cache would otherwise run inside the publishing, publication
and acceptance checks. registry-acceptance-workflow.spec.ts requires it
on all three jobs.
- [Minor] An exhausted npm metadata wait now says whether npm never showed
the version or returned metadata the verifier rejected (shape, version
mismatch, unparseable JSON). Only a version npm never showed gets the
publish-time-scan guidance and the publication-only re-run. Rejected
metadata points at `npm view <spec> --json`, because a re-run would
repeat the full 90-minute wait.
Annotations (pm-30tjoh):
- [Minor] Editing a record that lacks a usable created_at or author now
stamps them and keeps every other stored field, so the repaired row can
be guarded with --expect-at. Specs cover a missing field and an empty
string in all three collections.
- [Trivial] The CLI read spec now asserts that `get --full` delivers all
three stored malformed entries.
- [Minor] pm-30tjoh's resolution is updated through pm: missing sort
fields read "undefined", not empty strings, and the comparator is lazy
and legacy-exact.
TOON rendering (declined here, filed as pm-e3hfv8):
- [Minor] Default TOON output drops null array elements. That is the
sparse-presentation contract tests/unit/core/output/output.spec.ts pins
for every payload, so changing it in this PR would alter TOON output
across the CLI. pm-e3hfv8 tracks rendering annotation listings
row-complete.
