From 921c13f410ecf2f92e45adbdf27fd33813b07000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeffrey Phillips Freeman Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 00:45:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(agents): restore server mode + prompt_async supervisor launch from 9bbec0e6 Restores the working OpenCode server mode + curl-based async supervisor launch functionality from commit 9bbec0e6 (2026-04-02) and updates it for the current 13-supervisor architecture. Changes applied to 7 agent files (938 insertions, 221 deletions): 1. product-builder.md: Restored from 9bbec0e6 and updated for 13 supervisors - Full bash permissions for curl/sleep - Server URL: http://localhost:4096 - Launch via POST /session + POST /session/:id/prompt_async - Session resume (adopts existing [CA-AUTO] sessions) - Added ca-test-infra-improver and ca-project-owner to launch sequence - Updated concurrent worker calculations (~5N + ~8 singletons) 2. issue-implementor.md: Restored curl-based worker dispatch - 10-second polling loop with bash sleep - Worker sessions via prompt_async - Session resume for existing workers 3. ca-continuous-pr-reviewer.md: Restored curl dispatch pattern 4. ca-uat-tester.md: Restored curl pool mode 5. ca-bug-hunter.md: Restored curl pool mode 6. ca-test-infra-improver.md: Added self-dispatch permission 7. ca-session-cleanup.md: Restored utility agent Architecture: 5 pool supervisors (N workers each) + 8 singleton supervisors = 13 total supervisors running async via prompt_async. Replaces the broken prompt_async implementation from commit 074c472e that removed supervisors from task permissions without working server launch. To use: Start OpenCode with --port 4096, then launch product-builder.

Specification written/updated. Milestones defined: . +Spec PR awaiting human review: # (if applicable, otherwise "none"). +``` + +--- + +## Phase C: Pool Supervisor Execution + +This is the core execution phase. **ONE POOL SUPERVISOR PER STREAM TYPE**: +instead of launching N instances of each stream category, the product-builder +launches exactly ONE long-running pool supervisor per category. Each +supervisor manages N parallel workers internally (N = `CA_MAX_PARALLEL_WORKERS`), +immediately re-filling worker slots as they complete. This eliminates the +batch-and-wait bottleneck — no supervisor waits for all N workers before +re-dispatching. + +### Architecture: Continuous Supervisor Model + +The product-builder is a **process supervisor** (like systemd), NOT a +workflow orchestrator. Its only jobs are: + +1. **Launch all supervisors** simultaneously at Phase C entry +2. **Keep them alive** — re-launch any that exit +3. **Check convergence** — periodically query Forgejo to see if all work is done +4. **Exit when complete** — only after `ca-product-verifier` confirms COMPLETE + +It does NOT coordinate between supervisors. Supervisors self-coordinate +exclusively through Forgejo (issues, PRs, comments). The product-builder +never passes data between supervisors and never tells them what to do. + +``` +ALL SUPERVISORS RUN CONTINUOUSLY — THEY ARE SERVICES, NOT BATCH JOBS: + +Stream Category Supervisors Internal Workers Lifecycle +──────────────────────── ─────────── ────────────────── ────────────── +Implementation 1 N issue-workers Continuous (polls for new issues) +PR Review 1 N reviewers Continuous (polls for new PRs) +UAT Testing 1 N feature testers Continuous (retests on new code) +Bug Hunting 1 N module scanners Continuous (rescans on new code) +Test Infra Improvement 1 N improvers Continuous (periodic analysis) +Human Liaison 1 — Continuous (never exits) +Agent Evolver 1 — Continuous (periodic analysis) +Architecture Guard 1 — Continuous (periodic scans) +Spec Evolution 1 — Continuous (monitors merged PRs) +Backlog Grooming 1 — Continuous (periodic quality checks) +Documentation 1 — Continuous (monitors milestones) +Timeline Updates 1 — Continuous (daily minimum) +Project Owner/Triage 1 — Continuous (strategic priorities) + +Total supervisors: 13 (each managing N workers where applicable) +Total concurrent workers: ~5N + ~8 singletons +With N=4: ~28 concurrent agents +With N=8: ~48 concurrent agents +With N=16: ~88 concurrent agents +``` + +Supervisors use `bash sleep` for genuine blocking waits between polling +cycles. This means they truly stay alive and don't return to the caller +when idle. As a redundancy safety net, the product-builder also monitors +session status via the OpenCode Server HTTP API and re-launches any +supervisor that exits unexpectedly. + +### Clone Isolation Rule (Global) + +**CRITICAL: No agent ever works directly in /app.** Every agent that touches +the filesystem creates its own isolated clone at +`/tmp/ca---/`, works inside it, pushes +results back to the remote, and deletes the clone on exit. This prevents +conflicts between the many parallel agents. Git merge resolution at the +remote handles concurrent pushes. See each agent's "Clone Isolation Protocol" +section for specifics. + +Product-builder itself does NOT need a clone — it only orchestrates via +bash (curl to the OpenCode Server API), the Task tool (for one-shot +operations), and the Forgejo API. All file work is delegated. + +### Supervisor Launch via `prompt_async` and Monitoring Loop + +**CRITICAL: Supervisors are launched using the OpenCode Server HTTP API's +`prompt_async` endpoint — NOT the Task tool.** This is because the Task +tool blocks until the subagent completes, and launching 13 supervisors via +the Task tool would block until ALL 13 return. Since supervisors run +indefinitely, this would block the product-builder forever with no ability +to detect or re-launch dead supervisors. + +The `prompt_async` endpoint (`POST /session/:id/prompt_async`) sends a +message to a session **without waiting for the response** — it returns +`204 No Content` immediately. This gives us true fire-and-forget launching. + +The product-builder then enters a bash-driven monitoring loop that polls +session status every 60 seconds and re-launches any dead supervisor +instantly. + +**Server URL**: The OpenCode server MUST be running on a known port. Start +opencode with `--port 4096` or set the port in configuration. The +product-builder uses `http://localhost:4096` for all API calls. If +`OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` is set, include `-u opencode:$PASSWORD` in all +curl commands. + +``` +N = CA_MAX_PARALLEL_WORKERS +milestones = list of all milestones to complete (ordered) +ref_summary = result from ca-ref-reader +SERVER = "http://localhost:4096" + +# ── PHASE C.0: Resume Existing Supervisor Sessions ────────────── +# Check if there are already-running supervisor sessions from a +# previous product-builder invocation.

All implementation work flows through subagents. +- **No local state files.** All persistence is through Forgejo issue comments. + Never write checkpoint files to disk. +- **One product build at a time.** This agent manages a single product build + per session. +- **Respect existing work.** Never overwrite, delete, or redo work that has + already been completed — whether by a previous session, a human developer, or + another agent. +- **One supervisor per stream type.** Never launch multiple instances of the + same pool supervisor. Each stream type gets exactly ONE supervisor that + manages N workers internally. Launching multiple supervisors of the same + type causes work duplication and coordination failures. +- **Supervisors are launched via prompt_async, NOT the Task tool.** The + Task tool blocks until the subagent returns — since supervisors run + indefinitely, this would block the product-builder forever. Use the + OpenCode Server's `POST /session/:id/prompt_async` endpoint which + returns 204 immediately (fire-and-forget). +- **Supervisors are services, not batch jobs.** They run continuously, + polling for new work with `bash sleep` between cycles. The + product-builder monitors their session status and re-launches any + that exit. +- **Bash sleep for genuine waiting.** Both the product-builder (monitoring + loop) and all supervisors (polling loops) use `bash("sleep N", timeout=N*2)` + for real blocking waits. NEVER use pseudocode "wait" or return to the + caller to "wait" — the bash sleep call blocks the agent for real. +- **No rounds.** There is no concept of "rounds" or "waves." Supervisors + run continuously and independently. The product-builder's monitoring + loop checks status every 60 seconds. +- **Human interaction is first-class.** The `ca-human-liaison` agent runs + continuously alongside implementation. It monitors all human activity on + Forgejo and responds within minutes. Every human comment, issue, and review + gets a substantive response. +- **Agent self-improvement is gated.** The `ca-agent-evolver` proposes + changes to agent definitions via PRs with `needs feedback` label. These + changes NEVER take effect until a human merges them. +- **Spec is source of truth.** When there is ambiguity, defer to + `docs/specification.md`. When the spec conflicts with what was built, the + spec wins — create issues to align the code. +- **Human-in-the-loop for spec changes.** Major specification changes go + through PRs with the `needs feedback` label. Never merge these PRs + yourself. Continue working with the current spec on master while waiting + for human approval. Monitor these PRs periodically (see Specification PR + Monitoring section). +- **PRs are merged autonomously.** The PR review pool uses `force_merge: true` + — no approval count requirement. The only hard gate is CI checks passing. + PRs with the `needs feedback` label are the exception (human must merge). +- **PRESERVE PR BODIES ON EVERY API UPDATE.** The Forgejo API (both REST + and MCP) will wipe the PR description/body if it is not explicitly re-sent + in every `forgejo_update_pull_request` call. All subagents that touch PRs + (`ca-pr-api-creator`, `ca-pr-checker`, `ca-pr-self-reviewer`, + `ca-spec-updater`) MUST read the existing PR body via + `forgejo_get_pull_request_by_index` BEFORE any update call and include the + `body` field in the update payload. This rule is non-negotiable — a lost + PR description is a lost audit trail.
