The automation-tracking-manager call in step 5 was blocking the main loop
indefinitely, causing 3+ consecutive initialization failures. This commit
documents the fix in CHANGELOG.md with the proper issue reference.
ISSUES CLOSED: #8835
CheckpointManager.create_checkpoint() computed sandbox_path from
sandbox.context.sandbox_path but never stored it in the metadata dict.
This caused rollback_to() to always find metadata.get('sandbox_path')
returning None, silently skip the rollback, and return False.
The fix adds sandbox_path to the metadata dict immediately after it is
resolved from the sandbox context, before the SandboxCheckpoint is
constructed. rollback_to() can now retrieve the path and correctly
restore the sandbox filesystem state.
Added two new BDD scenarios to checkpoint_manager_coverage.feature:
- Verifies sandbox_path is automatically stored in metadata on create
- Verifies rollback succeeds without manually supplying sandbox_path

Move alembic configuration and migration files from repository root into the
Python package structure to ensure they are included in the wheel distribution.
This fix resolves the FileNotFoundError when running `agents init` in Docker
containers or any environment using the built wheel distribution.
Changes:
- Move alembic/ directory from repo root to
src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/migrations/
- Move alembic.ini to the same new location and update script_location setting
- Update MigrationRunner._find_alembic_ini() to search from the new canonical
location within the package
- Update create_template_db.py to point to the new alembic.ini location
- Update documentation references to reflect new migration file locations
- Create __init__.py for migrations package
- The env.py file is imported when running tests that verify all modules can be
imported without errors. However, context.config is only available when alembic
is actually running migrations, not during normal module imports. This caused
an AttributeError when the test tried to import the migrations.env module.
- Fix by using getattr() with a default value to safely access context.config,
and guard all code that uses config with None checks. This allows the module
to be safely imported while still functioning correctly during migrations.
Testing:
- Verified MigrationRunner can locate alembic.ini in new location
- Tested agents init succeeds in creating project with database
- Template database creation works correctly
- All migration tests should pass without changes
Alembic files now follow standard Python packaging conventions, making them
automatically included in wheel distributions without special configuration.
ISSUES CLOSED: #4180
CheckpointManager was never wired into PlanExecutor — the CLI factory
constructed PlanExecutor without a checkpoint_manager (defaulted to
None), silently skipping all checkpoint hooks.
Fix:
- Register CheckpointManager as Singleton in DI container
- Resolve container singleton in _get_plan_executor() and pass to
PlanExecutor constructor
- Bridge infra→domain: _try_create_checkpoint() now persists
last_checkpoint_id on the plan via _commit_plan(), raises PlanError
if persistence fails
- Default checkpointable=True for writable+sandboxable resources and
write-capable tools (model_validators on ResourceCapabilities and
ToolCapability)
- Validate that non-writable/non-sandboxable resources cannot be
checkpointable (ValueError guard)
- Add post-execute A2A facade notification using plan.status to avoid
duplicate execute→execute transition errors
Tests:
- 10 Behave scenarios covering DI wiring, singleton identity, checkpoint
creation, plan metadata update, rollback, graceful fallback, no-arg
constructor, capability defaults (positive + 2 negative)
- Updated consolidated_resource, consolidated_skill, and Robot
helper_skill_flatten for new checkpointable defaults
ISSUES CLOSED: #1253
The existing actor-selection logic in several E2E suite setups checked only
whether OPENAI_API_KEY was present (non-empty). A valid key that has hit its
quota limit passes that check but fails at runtime with HTTP 429, causing the
test to fail even though Anthropic credits are available.
Changes:
- Add robot/e2e/check_openai_key.py: stdlib-only (urllib.request) script that
sends a minimal chat-completion request ('Hi', max_tokens=1, gpt-4o-mini) to
the OpenAI API. Exits 0 on HTTP 200; exits 1 for quota (429), auth (401),
network errors, or any other failure.
- Add 'Resolve LLM Actor' keyword to robot/e2e/common_e2e.resource: runs the
probe script via ${PYTHON} and returns the openai_model argument (default
openai/gpt-4o) on success, or the anthropic_model argument (default
anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514) on failure. Skips the probe entirely when
OPENAI_API_KEY is not set.
- Update m6_acceptance.robot, wf04_multi_project.robot, wf05_db_migration.robot,
wf07_cicd.robot, and wf16_devcontainer.robot to use 'Resolve LLM Actor'
instead of the inline has_openai boolean check.
No production source code (src/) is modified. The decision to fall back to
Anthropic is made once per suite setup, before any test runs.
Closes#10198
Implement spec-compliant correction diff output for `agents plan diff
--correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID>`. Fixes the following issues from
the cycle-1 PR review:
- C1/M1: Replace direct `unit_of_work.correction_attempts` access with
the proper `unit_of_work.transaction()` context manager, eliminating
the AttributeError crash and the resource (session) leak.
- C2: Add `unit_of_work: UnitOfWork | None = None` constructor parameter
to `PlanApplyService` and wire it in `_get_apply_service()` via
`container.unit_of_work()`, removing the illegal `get_container()`
call inside the method body (ADR-003 DI violation).
- C3: Replace metadata serialization stub with a three-section structured
diff (Correction Diff summary, Comparison table, Patch Preview) as
specified in §agents plan diff of the specification.
- C4/M2: Add `features/plan_correction_diff.feature` with 6 BDD
scenarios covering all 4 output formats plus plan-not-found and
correction-not-found error paths.
- C5: Update the three existing BDD scenarios that tested old stub
behavior to mock `_get_apply_service()` and assert the new output.
- C6: Rename branch to `bugfix/m4-plan-diff-correction-stub` per
CONTRIBUTING.md convention.
- C7: Amend commit message with body and ISSUES CLOSED footer.
- C8: Narrow `except Exception` to `except CorrectionAttemptNotFoundError`
to avoid masking programming errors.
- M3: Add `robot/plan_correction_diff.robot` and
`robot/helper_plan_correction_diff.py` integration test covering rich,
plain, and JSON formats and the not-found error path.
- M4: Type `_build_correction_diff_dict` parameter as
`CorrectionAttemptRecord` instead of `Any`.
- M5: Change `fmt: str` to `fmt: Literal["rich", "plain", "json", "yaml"]`
on both `diff()` and `correction_diff()`, with a `cast()` call in the
CLI layer where Typer supplies a plain `str`.
- M6: Add `ValueError` guards for empty `plan_id` and
`correction_attempt_id` at the top of `correction_diff()`.
- M7: Add blank line between `diff()` and `correction_diff()` method
definitions.
- M8: Update PR description to reflect actual implementation.
- m1: Remove unused `plan` variable in `correction_diff()`.
- m2: Reduce three blank lines to two between top-level definitions in
`plan_apply_service.py`.
- n1: Remove trailing whitespace from blank line in `plan.py`.
Quality gates: lint (ruff), typecheck (pyright strict), unit_tests
(Behave 632 features / 0 failures) all pass.
ISSUES CLOSED: #9085
- schema.py: provider field changed to Optional[str] with model validator
validate_provider_required_for_llm_graph() that requires it only for LLM
and GRAPH actor types; TOOL actors do not require provider
- schema.py: is_v3_yaml() uses version_str == "3" or version_str.startswith("3.")
to avoid false positives from "30" or "300" version strings
- schema.py: tool namespace validation uses strict 2-part split to reject
empty namespace or empty name (e.g. "/tool", "ns/", "a/b/c")
- cli/commands/actor.py: schema_version extraction uses raw_version pattern
(no # type: ignore[assignment]) for clean static typing
- actor/__init__.py: is_v3_yaml removed from __all__ and _LAZY_IMPORTS
since it is a module-private helper, not a public API
- robot/actor_add_v3_schema_validation.robot: YAML fixtures for 'Reject v3
LLM Actor Without Model Field' and 'Reject v3 TOOL Actor Without Tools
Field' now include required provider field (and model for TOOL fixture)
- robot/helper_actor_add_v3_schema_validation.py: except clauses unified to
catch (subprocess.TimeoutExpired, FileNotFoundError) in both add_actor()
and update_actor() functions
- features/actor_add_v3_schema_validation.feature: 'Update a v3 actor with
valid YAML succeeds' scenario now includes 'And the actor should be
validated via ActorConfigSchema'; error assertions tightened to exact
messages (e.g. "Input should be 'llm', 'tool' or 'graph'", "Node ID must
be alphanumeric", "must be namespaced")
- features/steps/actor_add_v3_schema_validation_steps.py: step_run_actor_update
now spies on ActorConfigSchema.model_validate; failure paths assert
isinstance(result.exception, SystemExit)

Detect btrfs and overlayfs filesystems and automatically fall back to sequential
mode to prevent deadlocks caused by SQLite WAL file locking and btrfs COW copy-up
locks when multiple forked workers try to access the same files simultaneously.
The fix adds a _is_btrfs_or_overlayfs() function that:
1. Attempts to detect the filesystem type using stat command
2. Falls back to reading /proc/mounts if stat fails
3. Returns True if the filesystem is btrfs or overlayfs
The sequential mode condition is updated to include this check, ensuring that
on affected filesystems, all features run in a single process instead of being
split across multiple forked workers.
ISSUES CLOSED: #9390
The validate_path() function in file_tools.py used str.startswith() to
verify that a resolved path stays within the sandbox root. This allowed
sibling directories whose names share a string prefix with the sandbox
(e.g. /tmp/sandbox-escape/ bypassing /tmp/sandbox/) to escape the
containment check.
Replace the string prefix check with Path.relative_to(root), which
performs a proper OS-level path prefix comparison using path separators.
Add a Behave regression scenario tagged @tdd_issue @tdd_issue_7558 that
exercises the prefix-collision bypass to prevent regressions.
ISSUES CLOSED: #7558
Change fallback LLM creation and invocation logs from DEBUG to WARNING level
so they appear in Robot Framework test output. Also enhance error message to
clearly show which provider failed and why.
This change makes it possible to diagnose why the fallback is not working
by seeing the actual logs in test output instead of having them filtered
as DEBUG level messages.
Logs now include:
- 'Creating fallback LLM instance: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514'
- 'Fallback LLM created, attempting invocation'
- 'Using cached fallback LLM, attempting invocation'
- 'FALLBACK PROVIDER FAILED: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 returned error: [error details]'
This will help diagnose why E2E tests fail with 'both providers exhausted'
when Anthropic should have available credits.
Implements graceful degradation for E2E robot integration tests that hit OpenAI 429 quota limit errors.
Changes:
- Add _is_quota_error() helper to detect quota-specific API errors (429, insufficient_quota, rate_limit)
- Modify _execute_with_llm() in StrategyActor to catch quota errors and attempt fallback to Anthropic Haiku
- Configure fallback provider as 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514'
- Add comprehensive logging for quota error detection and provider fallback
- Add E2E test scenarios for quota fallback verification
When quota errors occur on both OpenAI and Anthropic fallback, tests
now fail with a clear message explaining that the test outcome cannot
be verified when no LLM provider is available.
This ensures CI/CD pipelines properly track which tests could not be
executed due to quota constraints, rather than silently skipping them
and creating false confidence in test coverage.
This ensures CI/CD pipelines can complete E2E tests even when the primary provider (OpenAI) hits quota limits,
improving pipeline reliability and reducing false negatives caused by provider-specific issues.
1. **Cache fallback_llm instance** - Instead of recreating the fallback LLM
every time a quota error occurs, cache it as an instance variable
(self._fallback_llm). This avoids unnecessary re-initialization overhead.
2. **Implement quota recovery logic** - Add intelligent recovery behavior:
- Track last quota error timestamp (self._last_quota_error_time)
- Track fallback mode state (self._using_fallback)
- Once quota error detected, switch to fallback provider
- Only attempt to recover primary provider every 5 minutes (_QUOTA_RECOVERY_INTERVAL)
- This avoids hammering primary provider with repeated quota errors
3. **Add detailed recovery logging** - Log quota fallback transitions and
recovery attempts to improve observability and debugging.
Benefits:
- Reduced latency: No redundant primary provider calls after quota error
- Reduced overhead: Cached fallback LLM instance, no per-call recreation
- Better observability: Clear logging of fallback mode entry/exit
- Intelligent recovery: Automatic recovery attempt after 5-minute interval
Updated tests:
- M6 E2E Event Queue Via Plan Lifecycle Transitions
- M6 E2E Hierarchical Decomposition Via Plan Tree
- M6 E2E Full Autonomy Acceptance Flow
Fixes: #10042
Replace ~600 chars of verbatim per-agent boilerplate with skill references.
All 91 agents now load cleveragents-agent-rules for exhaustive pagination,
label management, bot signatures, and credential flow rules. Adds explicit
skill: "*": deny + targeted allows to every agent permission block, matching
the existing bash: and task: deny-first convention. Tier selectors carry no
skill permissions since they are pure pass-through with no skill references
in their bodies. forgejo-label-manager also grants forgejo-api for its curl
pattern reference.
Introduces a new skill containing the complete specification for the five
universal operational rules every agent must follow: exhaustive pagination
protocol, label management via forgejo-label-manager, bot signature format,
credential flow hierarchy, and localhost:4096 restriction.
Add new references/redundancy/README.md (280 lines) covering:
- Three-layer redundancy architecture overview (product-builder / watchdog / supervisors)
with the key insight that each layer uses a different observation mechanism to
prevent blind spots between layers
- Layer 1 (product-builder): fast cycle (60s liveness), deep inspection (5-min message
reading with anti-pattern catalogue: error loops, circular patterns, policy violations,
context exhaustion), worker health check (pool count vs expected), hourly verification
- Layer 2 (system-watchdog): independent 5-min audit using Forgejo tracking issue
STALENESS rather than OpenCode session status — catches frozen-but-alive sessions
that appear healthy to product-builder; session introspection for anti-pattern
detection; clear role separation (watchdog detects, product-builder restarts)
- Layer 3 (supervisor self-monitoring): per-cycle worker health checks, stuck
detection (15-min threshold), completed vs crashed distinction, pool filling
- State persistence as the foundation of self-healing: everything externalized
to Forgejo (tracking issues, attempt comments, claim protocol, announcements)
- Supervisor crash-recovery pattern: session crash → product-builder detects ≤60s →
relaunch → READ_TRACKING_STATE first → light/moderate/full recovery based on
offline duration → resume from recovered state
- Worker crash-recovery pattern: crash → supervisor detects in next cycle →
Forgejo evidence check → re-dispatch at same or escalated tier
- Two independent health signals table: OpenCode (session presence/status, latency
60s) vs Forgejo (tracking staleness, latency 2×interval) — what each catches
- Complete failure mode catalogue (13 failure types with: who detects it, how,
recovery action, and whether recovery is automatic or requires human)
- async-agent-monitor health classifications: healthy/stuck/idle/finished/errored
with threshold and configurable idle_threshold_minutes parameter
- Redundancy gaps and limitations: product-builder has no watcher; watchdog
detects but cannot restart; worker downtime latency varies by supervisor sleep
Expand SKILL.md (539 → 775 lines, 10 → 13 decision trees):
- Significantly expand 'Is something wrong?' tree: now lists every failure
type with which layer detects it, how detection works, and recovery action
(supervisor missing, frozen, error loop, waiting for input, worker crashed,
worker frozen, supervisor stopped dispatching, orphaned claim, CI violations,
multiple supervisors down, product-builder crash)
- Add new 'How does the system self-heal?' tree: full three-layer redundancy
decision tree with per-layer mechanics (fast/deep/hourly cadences), the
Forgejo persistence foundation, complete supervisor crash-recovery pattern,
complete worker crash-recovery pattern, and the single-point-of-failure note
- Update Key Numbers table: add worker health check and hourly cycle entries;
clarify session health threshold is configurable; add watchdog staleness
threshold (2×interval); add supervisor max downtime (≤60s); add worker
re-dispatch latency (varies by sleep interval)
- Update frontmatter description to cover self-healing and redundancy
- Update reference index to describe the new redundancy reference file

lives in cleveragents-contributing)
- Change new-issue-creator description from 'following CONTRIBUTING.md format'

- Remove duplicate forgejo-label-manager entry ('See above.') — was listed
twice in the utility subagents table
- Add cross-reference note at top of Utility Subagents section: descriptions
focus on system role; project-specific rules (testing philosophy, quality
gates, commit standards, issue format) are in cleveragents-contributing
- AUTO-IMP-SUP dispatch ordering: add inline cross-reference note pointing
to cleveragents-contributing and cleverthis-guidelines for label definitions
- AUTO-OWNR description: replace specific label names ('MoSCoW labels',
'Wont Do') with generic role description + cross-reference note
SKILL.md:
- Reference Index: fix tracking-system entry description — remove 'label rules'
(those were removed from tracking-system last pass); replace with accurate
description of what the file now covers (Automation Tracking and needs
feedback labels as system-specific labels)
No system-specific content was removed: all agent prefixes, the full
announcement relevancy matrix, worker tag patterns, sleep intervals, worker
count formulas, tier system mechanics, tracking system operations, credential
propagation hierarchy, and claim/heartbeat/release protocol are fully preserved.

SKILL.md:
- Expand 'Which announcements should I consume?' from a partial example
(only showed IMP-SUP and said 'use agent-prefix-info for the rest') to the
FULL canonical cross-agent attention table: all 17 supervisors plus
product-builder, every source prefix with its minimum priority threshold
and rationale, universal baseline rule, and rule-of-thumb note
- 'How do I apply a label?' tree: replace detailed label scope breakdown
(State/, Priority/, MoSCoW/, Type/) and detailed forgejo-label-manager
internals with cross-references to cleveragents-contributing and
cleverthis-guidelines; keep only system-critical labels (Automation
Tracking, needs feedback, Blocked) and the forbidden operations list
(which is an agent permission concern unique to this system)
- 'How does a supervisor launch a worker?' Step 5: replace 'CONTRIBUTING.md
rules (commit standards, testing, PR requirements)' with reference to the
cleveragents-contributing skill, noting that product-builder pre-loads
these via ref-reader and passes them in briefings
- Quick Reference: add explicit pointers to cleveragents-contributing and
forgejo-api skills for the label-related lines
- Frontmatter description: rewrite Covers section to remove duplicated label
scope and forgejo-api curl content; add explicit note that label rules and
scopes live in cleveragents-contributing and cleverthis-guidelines, and
that curl patterns are in the forgejo-api skill
tracking-system/README.md:
- Remove entire 'Label Rules (CRITICAL)' section (Never Create Labels, Only
Org-Level Labels, Always Use forgejo-label-manager, scope conflict rules)
— this is fully covered in cleveragents-contributing
- Remove entire 'The forgejo-api Skill and Label Operations' section
(paginated org label fetch loop, PUT replace-all curl, DELETE single label
curl) — this belongs in the forgejo-api skill which forgejo-label-manager
loads automatically
- Replace both removed sections with a focused 'System-Specific Labels'
section covering only what is unique to the system: Automation Tracking
as the universal discovery mechanism and needs feedback as the human
escalation signal that stops worker dispatch
- Priority labels table: change from defining what each priority level IS
(duplicates cleverthis-guidelines) to showing when to use each for
autonomous system announcements specifically; add cross-reference note
coordination/README.md:
- Remove duplicated 'Announcement Relevancy Matrix Quick Reference' table
(9 rows covering only some supervisors) — the full authoritative table is
now in SKILL.md; replace with a two-sentence pointer to SKILL.md and
agent-prefix-info for programmatic lookup

Add 7 new decision trees covering gaps found in CONTRIBUTING.md audit:
'Am I creating an issue?' — full issue anatomy: mandatory Metadata section
(exact commit message first line + branch name), Subtasks checkbox format
with example, Definition of Done section, label rules (State/Unverified
+Type+Priority; MoSCoW by owner only), Ref field rules, parent and blocking
link mechanics via Forgejo dependencies, bug issues companion TDD issue rule.
'Am I about to write code?' — spec-first mandate (read docs/specification.md
before any code), ADR process for architectural changes, branch must match
issue Metadata, test-first requirement, SOLID + arg validation + type
annotations requirements, prohibited list (# type: ignore, half-done work,
mocks in src/, if-testing guards).
'Am I about to commit?' — self-review diff (git add -p), atomicity rules
(one logical change, no cosmetic+functional mixing, code-move then modify),
completeness rules (tests + docs + changelog + ancillary files in same
commit), bisect-friendly / revertibility requirements, prescribed commit
first line verbatim from issue Metadata, Commitizen usage, pre-commit hook
rules, commit hygiene (topic branches, interactive rebase before merging).
'Am I submitting a PR?' — all 12 PR requirements numbered, with critical
dependency direction rule (PR→blocks→issue; reversed = deadlock with full
explanation), closing keywords, one Epic per PR, milestone + Type/ label,
after-submission state transitions, complete merge checklist.
'Am I reviewing a PR?' — eligibility and approval rules, CI gate check,
all 6 reviewer criteria (correctness, spec alignment, test quality, type
safety, readability, performance, security, style, documentation, commit
quality), requesting changes protocol, maintainer override rule.
'Am I documenting something?' — single canonical surface rule, traceability
(module.class.method + commit hash; never file:linenum), same-commit rule,
code-level docstring requirements, spec.md authority.
'Am I writing error handling?' — mandatory argument validation pattern
(before ANY other logic) with Python code example, exception propagation
rules (never suppress, never bare except, never return None on error),
fail-fast principles, AssertionError for TDD expected-fail steps.
Expand existing trees:
- 'Am I writing tests?': add multi-level testing mandate (unit + integration +
benchmarks required for every task), what tests must cover (error paths,
edge cases, failure modes), test failure remediation rules
- 'Which nox session?': clarify format vs format --check difference
- 'Am I looking at a CI failure?': add quality/complexity failure diagnosis,
common causes per job type, more detail on coverage and unit_tests failures
- 'Am I writing LangChain/LangGraph code?': clarify MemorySaver requirement,
memory class selection (Buffer vs Entity), format prohibition reasoning
- 'Which directory?': add /benchmarks/ to directory tree
Update master decision tree with 6 new branches for new trees.
Update Key Numbers table with 4 new rows.
Update frontmatter description to cover all new topics.
Override highlights table: add commit first line and PR dep direction rows.

Closes#8787
Adjusted test running and file-detection logic to stabilize unit tests in overlayfs environments and improve target feature handling.
- Modified scripts/run_behave_parallel.py to run sequentially when there are 2 or fewer feature files, avoiding fork deadlocks on overlayfs and reducing nox-based unit test timeouts for agent_skills_loader and skill_search features.
- Updated noxfile.py to correctly detect feature files in posargs, fixing the prior logic that appended the "features/" directory when specific feature files were provided. This ensures precise test selection and avoids unnecessary path expansion.
Rationale:
These changes address the root causes of flaky unit test timeouts by preventing problematic forking behavior with small feature sets and by ensuring nox respects explicitly provided feature file paths.

Approved proposal: #7602
Pattern: workflow_fix
Evidence: Watchdog (Cycle 15, #7587) reports HIGH severity systemic issue —
AUTO-REV-SUP creating 10+ duplicate tracking issues per cycle. Root cause:
agent definition uses AUTO-REV-POOL prefix in ATM calls but actual issues
use AUTO-REV-SUP prefix. ATM cannot find/close old issues → duplicates.
Fix: Updated all tracking prefix references from AUTO-REV-POOL to AUTO-REV-SUP
and tracking type from 'Review Pool Status' to 'PR Review Pool Status'.

Surface the non-AssertionError guard warning in standard Behave output by emitting to stderr in addition to the structured logger, and add infrastructure coverage that asserts this guard path is visible during test runs. Document the @tdd_expected_fail expectation that bug-signaling failures must use AssertionError so infrastructure exceptions are not accidentally treated as expected bug failures.
ISSUES CLOSED: #8294
In parallel mode, the behave runner previously replayed captured
stdout/stderr for every worker chunk, creating noisy output that
obscured failure diagnostics in CI and local runs.
Changes to scripts/run_behave_parallel.py:
- Added _chunk_has_failures() and _chunk_no_scenarios_ran() helpers
to evaluate individual chunk summaries for failure/error/crash
conditions.
- Updated the aggregation loop in main() to conditionally replay
captured stdout/stderr only for chunks whose summary indicates
failures, errors, or no scenarios ran (crash detection). Passing
chunks now suppress their output entirely.
- Added robust exception handling in _worker_run_features() so that
worker crashes produce a full traceback in stderr and return a crash
summary with features.errors = 1, enabling the parent to detect the
crash via _chunk_has_failures (and also _chunk_no_scenarios_ran,
since no scenarios reached a terminal state) and replay the
diagnostics.
- The conditional replay uses summary-based checks rather than the
raw runner.run() boolean, consistent with the existing exit-code
logic. This avoids spurious log replay for @tdd_expected_fail
scenarios whose runner.run() returns True even though the TDD
inversion handler has corrected the scenario status to passed.
- Existing summary merge, exit semantics, and the no-scenarios
safety net are fully preserved.
New Behave unit tests (17 scenarios) cover the chunk-level helpers,
the conditional aggregation loop, the pure no-scenarios-ran path,
stderr replay for non-crash failed chunks, and the worker crash path.
New Robot integration tests (6 test cases) verify the same behavior
end-to-end via the helper_behave_parallel_log_filtering.py script.
Also updated:
- CHANGELOG.md: add unreleased entry for this behavioral change.
- features/steps/behave_parallel_log_filtering_steps.py: use
contextlib.redirect_stdout/redirect_stderr instead of manual
sys.stdout assignment; register module in sys.modules; document
CWD requirement in _load_runner_module().
- robot/helper_behave_parallel_log_filtering.py: move import io to
top-level; remove redundant inline imports; use contextlib for
output capture; register module in sys.modules; document CWD
requirement.
Branch note: the canonical branch for this fix is
bugfix/m3-behave-parallel-failed-chunk-logs. The PR head branch
(bugfix/mX-behave-parallel-failed-chunk-logs) cannot be renamed via
the Forgejo API; both branches are kept in sync at the same SHA.

contributions including thread-safe context tier management (issue #7547)
Fixes review feedback from PR #8279.
ISSUES CLOSED: #7547
Implemented thread-safety improvements for ContextTierService by
introducing a re-entrant lock and guarding all critical sections

- Added threading.RLock to ContextTierService.__init__ as self._lock
- Wrapped all public methods (store, get, promote, demote, evict_lru,
get_metrics, get_all_fragments, get_hot_fragments, get_for_actor,
get_scoped_view) with with self._lock:
- Added _lock: threading.RLock type stub to TierRuntimeMixin and
ScopedTierMixin
- Wrapped enforce_staleness in TierRuntimeMixin with self._lock
- Wrapped get_scoped_by_resource and get_scoped_metrics in
ScopedTierMixin with self._lock
- Extracted settings helpers to new context_tier_settings.py to keep
context_tiers.py under 500 lines
- Added BDD feature file context_tier_thread_safety.feature with

Route the COLOR format option through format_output_session (which uses
ColorMaterializer) instead of _format_plain. Previously --format color
produced identical output to --format plain because both were routed to

rich, table) remain unaffected.

Added os.chmod(db_path, 0o664) after database creation to ensure the template
database has writable permissions. This prevents sqlite3.OperationalError: attempt
to write a readonly database when tests copy and modify the template during test
setup.
The template database is now created with rw-rw-r-- (664) permissions instead of
the default rw-r--r-- (644), allowing the test runner process to write to it.
ISSUES CLOSED: #9372
Implement StrategyActor class for the plan strategize phase that uses an
LLM to produce hierarchical execution strategies with dependencies,
resource requirements, estimated complexity, and risk scores.
Key components:
- StrategyActor: Core actor with LLM prompt construction, response
parsing (JSON and numbered-list fallback), and graceful degradation
to StrategizeStubActor when no LLM provider is configured
- StrategyAction/StrategyTree: Pydantic models for the hierarchical
action tree with dependency links
- validate_no_cycles(): Kahns algorithm (deque-based) for dependency
graph cycle detection, raising PlanError on circular dependencies
- build_strategy_prompt(): Context-aware prompt construction using
definition_of_done, resources, project context, and ACMS analysis
with XML-delimited user content sections for prompt injection
hardening
- parse_strategy_response(): Robust LLM output parsing with JSON
extraction and numbered-list fallback
- resolve_strategy_actor(): Integration point for the existing
actor.default.strategy config key (CLEVERAGENTS_DEFAULT_STRATEGY_ACTOR)
- Decision conversion producing strategy_choice Decision objects
- build_decisions() preserves tree hierarchy via parent_id mapping,
populates downstream_decision_ids from dependency edges, and
validates plan_id
Structural tree hierarchy (B2 review fix):
- _build_tree infers parent_id from the dependency graph: each
actions first resolved dependency becomes its structural parent.
Actions with no dependencies fall back to the root. This produces
hierarchical trees for agents plan tree rendering per spec
Plan Decision Tree.
Downstream decision tracking (B3 review fix):
- build_decisions populates downstream_decision_ids from the strategy
trees dependency edges using a pre-generated decision_id map so
influence relationships between decisions are recorded per the spec
Decision Record Structure.
Post code-review hardening (PR #1175):
- Broadened exception handling in execute() and ACMS retrieval to
catch all LLM provider errors (openai, httpx, anthropic, etc.)
with graceful fallback to stub mode (H1, H2)
- Added warning log for unresolvable dependency references so
dropped edges are visible in structured logs (H3)
- Added XML-delimited user content sections and explicit data-only
instructions in system prompt for prompt injection hardening (H4)
- Switched prompt truncation to word-boundary-safe _truncate_at_word()
for all prompt input sections (M1)
- Fixed _parse_actor_name to preserve user-specified provider or
model when only one segment is empty, instead of discarding both (M2)
- Annotated _build_invariant_records as placeholder pending the
Invariant Reconciliation Actor implementation (M5)
- Documented resources/project_context params as future-wired
through PlanExecutor.run_strategize() (M8)
- Added docstring noting supersession relationship with
LLMStrategizeActor in llm_actors.py (M9)
- Added __all__ export definition (L2)
- Improved validate_no_cycles docstring edge direction semantics (L7)
- Cap JSON parse retry loop at _MAX_JSON_PARSE_RETRIES (10)
Post second code-review hardening (PR #1175, review cycle 2):
- Fixed _truncate_at_word docstring: documented max_chars >= 3
precondition for the result-length guarantee (R-H1)
- Added warning log in build_decisions for unresolvable parent_id
references, matching the existing _build_tree warning for
unresolvable dependency references (R-H2)
- Fixed _parse_actor_name to handle whitespace-only input by adding
actor_name.strip() check alongside the emptiness check (R-M1)
- Tightened ACMS scenario assertions from non-empty to expected
count of 5 decisions (R-L3)
- Added timeout=60s on_timeout=kill to all Robot test cases for
consistency with project patterns (R-M5)
Post third code-review hardening (PR #1175, review cycle 3):
- Added _sanitize_xml_content() to escape XML special characters
(<, >, &) in user content before embedding into XML-delimited
prompt sections, preventing prompt injection via forged closing
tags (spec Prompt Injection Mitigation) (CR3-M1)
- Upgraded _try_parse_json() to multi-anchor retry: collects all
[{ positions left-to-right and tries each as a candidate start,
fixing false-start anchoring when LLM preamble contains [{
fragments before the real JSON array (CR3-M2)
- Added _truncate_at_word() guard for max_chars < 3: returns a
hard slice instead of word-boundary truncation when the ellipsis
would exceed the limit (CR3-L2)
- Changed _build_tree collision fallback key from -(idx+1) to
-(1_000_000+idx) to eliminate theoretical collision with
LLM-produced negative step numbers (CR3-L3)
- Added forward-looking API docstring note to build_decisions()
documenting that it is not yet wired into PlanExecutor and will
be integrated once Decision persistence lands (CR3-M3)
Post fourth code-review hardening (PR #1175, review cycle 4):
- Fixed _try_parse_json per-anchor retry counter: reset retries=0
at the start of each anchor iteration so false-start [{ anchors
in LLM preamble text no longer exhaust the retry budget for the
correct anchor (CR4-B1)
- Added known-limitations docstring to module header documenting
missing decision types (resource_selection, subplan_spawn,
invariant_enforced) as future work (CR4-D1)
- Rewrote XML injection assertion in test to use regex extraction
instead of fragile chained .split() calls that could IndexError
on structural changes (CR4-T5)
Post fifth code-review hardening (PR #1175, review cycle 5):
- Added warning log in build_decisions for empty-string parent_id
(distinct from None) so the silent fallback to root is visible
in structured logs for debuggability (CR5-B1)
- Added plan_id propagation assertion to build_decisions test
scenarios verifying decision.plan_id matches the input (CR5-T1)
- Added sequence_number monotonicity assertion verifying decision
sequence_numbers are zero-indexed and monotonically increasing
(CR5-T2)
- Added _truncate_at_word boundary test for max_chars=3 (exactly
ellipsis length) verifying correct "..." output (CR5-T3)
- Tightened false-start anchor test from permissive len>=1 to
specific description match "Sole real action" (CR5-T4)
- Added word-boundary truncation test using space-separated input
to exercise the rfind(" ") path under oversized DoD (CR5-T5)
Post sixth code-review hardening (PR #1175, review cycle 6):
- Added _MAX_INVARIANTS cap (100) for invariant list truncation in
prompt to prevent token limit overflows, consistent with other prompt
section caps (CR6-M4)
- Added negative max_chars guard in _truncate_at_word returning empty
string instead of slicing from end (CR6-M5)
- Added global JSON parse attempt cap _MAX_GLOBAL_JSON_ATTEMPTS (50)
across all anchors in _try_parse_json (CR6-L3)
- Moved re import to module level in strategy_parsing.py per
CONTRIBUTING import guidelines (CR6-L4)
- Extracted _DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION constant to eliminate duplication
between _default_action() and _build_tree() (CR6-L5)
Post seventh code-review hardening (PR #1175, review cycle 7):
- Decoupled _execute_stub from StrategizeStubActor._parse_steps
private method by delegating to parse_strategy_response, removing
cross-class private method dependency (CR7-M1)
- Added ULID format validation on plan_id in execute() and
build_decisions() for spec-consistent argument validation per
§Plan glossary and CONTRIBUTING §Argument Validation (CR7-M2)
- Constrained StrategyAction.estimated_complexity to
Literal["low", "medium", "high"] at Pydantic model level per
CONTRIBUTING §Type Safety (CR7-M5)
- Documented XML-tag prompt boundary deviation from spec
[USER_CONTENT_START]/[USER_CONTENT_END] markers with rationale
for the more structured approach (CR7-M6)
- Added _build_tree empty-input guard comment documenting orphaned
root_id semantics (CR7-L1)
- Added _truncate_at_word > 0 intent comment explaining why
position-0 space is intentionally excluded (CR7-L2)
- Added build_decisions context_snapshot future-work comment
referencing spec §Decision Record Structure (CR7-L5)
- Used enumerate() in _build_tree first loop for idiomatic
Python (CR7-L7)
- Fixed false-start anchor test (CR5-T4) broken by CR6-L3 global
cap: reduced preamble fragments from 15 to 3 so total attempts
stay within _MAX_GLOBAL_JSON_ATTEMPTS (CR7-T1)
- Fixed test plan_ids containing non-Crockford-Base32 characters
(L→K) to pass ULID format validation (CR7-T2)
Tests:
- 105 Behave BDD scenarios in features/strategy_actor_llm.feature

1. Search for all open issues with label `Automation Tracking` whose title starts with `[{agent-prefix}] Status:`. For example if the `agent-prefix` is `AUTO-IMP-SUP` then you'd search for titles starting with `[AUTO-IMP-SUP] Status:`.
2.**CRITICAL** Close every one found (post comment "Superseded by next cycle" before closing).
3. Determine next cycle number: search ALL issues (open and closed) with the same prefix, find the highest cycle number, add 1.
4. Determine next estimated cycle interval: use the issue identified in step 3 above, take its reported estimated cycle interval, then using the rolling average formula: if a previous issue exists, `round(old_interval * 0.90 + actual_interval * 0.10)`, otherwise use `sleep-interval-default`.

# Forgejo Label Manager
You are the centralized label specialist. ALL label operations in the system go through you. You apply existing organization-level labels to issues and PRs. You NEVER create new labels.
You are the centralized label specialist. ALL label operations in the system go through you. You apply existing organization-level labels to issues and PRs. You NEVER create new labels. You use **curl** (via bash) exclusively.
## What You Receive
Your caller provides:
- **operation** — one of: "apply_labels", "remove_label", "get_labels", "validate_labels"
- **issue_number** or **pr_number** — the target
- **operation** — one of: `apply_labels`, `remove_label`, `get_labels`, `validate_labels`, `conversation`
- **issue_number** or **pr_number** — the target (PRs and issues share the same index in Forgejo)
- **labels** — label names to apply (for apply/validate operations)
- **repo_owner** and **repo_name**
- **repo_owner**
- **repo_name**
- **forgejo_url**
## Fetching Org-Level Labels
The Forgejo MCP tools do not expose org-level label listing, and repo-level label tools are blocked. You **must** use the following curl command to discover and validate org-level labels:
Use the following pattern to discover and validate all org-level labels with exhaustive pagination:
Each label entry includes `id`, `name`, `color`, `exclusive`, `is_archived`, and `description`. The `description` field explains the label's intended use — read it so you choose the correct one. Use the `id` field when applying labels. Integer IDs are preferred over string names (faster).
This returns a JSON array of all org-level labels. Each entry includes `id`, `name`, `color`, `exclusive`, `is_archived`, and `description`. The `description` field explains the label's intended use — read it so you choose the correct one. Use the `id` field when calling `forgejo_replace_issue_labels`.
Note: PRs are also issues in Forgejo — use the same `/issues/{index}/labels` endpoint for both.
## Label Application
## Label Application (Replace All)
When asked to apply labels, use `forgejo_replace_issue_labels` (not `forgejo_add_issue_labels`) because it gives full control over the final label set. This ensures no stale labels remain.
When asked to apply labels, use the **PUT replace-all** approach because it gives full control over the final label set. This ensures no stale labels remain.
Steps:
1. Fetch current labels on the issue using `forgejo_get_issue_labels`.
2. Validate that all requested labels exist at the org level using the curl command above.
3. Merge the requested labels with existing non-conflicting labels (e.g., adding a new State label should remove the old State label).
4. Apply the final label set using `forgejo_replace_issue_labels`.
1. Fetch all org-level labels using the pagination loop above.
2. Fetch current labels on the issue/PR using the GET command above.
3. Validate that all requested labels exist at the org level (check by name in the fetched list).
4. Merge the requested labels with existing non-conflicting labels (e.g., adding a new `State/` label should remove the old `State/` label — see conflict resolution below).
5. Apply the final label set using PUT:
```bash
# LABEL_IDS must be a comma-separated list of integer IDs, e.g. "42, 7, 15"
curl -s -X PUT "${FORGEJO_URL}/api/v1/repos/${REPO_OWNER}/${REPO_NAME}/issues/${INDEX}/labels" \
-H "Authorization: token ${FORGEJO_PAT}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"labels\": [${LABEL_IDS}]}"
```
## Removing a Single Label
To remove one label by its ID without affecting others:
Alternatively, use GET + filter + PUT: fetch current labels, remove the unwanted one from the array, and PUT the remaining set.
## Label Conflict Resolution
Within each label scope, only one label should be active:
Within each label scope, only one label should be active at a time:
- **State/** — only one at a time (e.g., replacing `State/Verified` with `State/In Progress`)
- **Priority/** — only one at a time
- **MoSCoW/** — only one at a time
- **Type/** — only one at a time
When applying a label from a scoped group, remove any existing label from the same group.
When applying a label from a scoped group, remove any existing label from the same group before computing the final set to PUT.
Labels with `exclusive: true` and a `/` in their name are mutually exclusive within their prefix group. Use PUT (replace-all) to safely switch between them — applying one via the full replacement approach automatically discards the old one.

## **CRITICAL** Rules
1. **NEVER create labels.** You can only apply existing organization-level labels.
2. **Validate before applying.** Use the curl command to confirm the label exists before trying to apply it.
3. **Scope-aware replacement.** When applying a scoped label, remove the old one from the same scope.
4. **Always use org labels via curl.** Never use repo-level label tools. Always discover and validate org labels using the curl command in the "Fetching Org-Level Labels" section above.
5. **Use label descriptions.** The `description` field returned by the curl command explains each label's purpose. Read it to choose the correct label when the name alone is ambiguous.
6. **Exhaustive pagination for all list results.** Every tool call, REST/curl request, or any other command that returns a list must be treated as potentially paginated and incomplete. Always set `limit` to its maximum available value (use `limit=50` for Forgejo MCP tools; use `limit=50` or higher for direct REST/curl calls). After each list response, check whether the number of returned items equals the page size — if so, there are likely more results; fetch the next page (`page=2`, `page=3`, …) and continue until receiving a partial page. Never assume the first response is the complete result. This rule applies to every list-returning call without exception. *Examples specific to this agent (not exhaustive):* the `curl .../orgs/cleveragents/labels` call must be paginated if the org has more labels than fit in one response (use `limit=50` and check for a next page) — a truncated label list means valid labels appear "not found" and are incorrectly rejected; `forgejo_get_issue_labels` returns all labels for an issue but if the API paginates in future versions, verify completeness.
2. **NEVER use Forgejo MCP tools.** All `forgejo_*` tools are blocked — use curl only.
3. **Validate before applying.** Use the org labels pagination loop to confirm the label exists before applying it.
4. **Scope-aware replacement.** When applying a scoped label, remove the old one from the same scope.
5. **Always use org labels via curl.** Never use repo-level label tools. Always discover and validate org labels using the pagination loop in "Fetching Org-Level Labels".
6. **Use label descriptions.** The `description` field returned by the curl command explains each label's purpose. Read it to choose the correct label when the name alone is ambiguous.
7. **Exhaustive pagination for all list results.** Every curl request that returns a list must be treated as potentially paginated and incomplete. Always set `limit=50` and check if the returned count equals 50 — if so, fetch the next page (`page=2`, `page=3`, …) and continue until a partial page is received. Never assume the first response is the complete result. *Critical example:* the org labels call must be fully paginated — a truncated label list causes valid labels to appear "not found" and be incorrectly rejected.
git -C "$WORK_DIR" show "origin/$BASE_BRANCH" -- "$FILE"
# What this rebased commit intended to change
git -C "$WORK_DIR" show ORIG_HEAD -- "$FILE"
```
Use the `edit` tool to resolve the conflict. Remove all `<<<<<<<`, `=======`, and `>>>>>>>` markers. Produce a result that correctly incorporates both sets of changes, preserving the intent of the rebased commit against the current state of `base_branch`.
**c. Stage the resolved file:**
```bash
git -C "$WORK_DIR" add "$WORK_DIR/$FILE"
```
Repeat (b)–(c) for every conflicted file in this commit.
**d. Continue the rebase:**
```bash
GIT_EDITOR=true git -C "$WORK_DIR" rebase --continue
```
`GIT_EDITOR=true` prevents git from opening an interactive editor for the commit message — the original commit message is preserved as-is.
**e. Check if more conflicts remain:**
If the rebase pauses again, return to step (a). Repeat until `git rebase --continue` completes without error.
**CRITICAL:** If a conflict cannot be resolved safely (e.g. a file was deleted on one side and heavily modified on the other, and the correct resolution is ambiguous), never abort the rebase, make a best effort and report accordingly when done.
### 4. Verify completion
After the rebase finishes cleanly:
```bash
# Confirm clean working tree (no conflict markers, nothing unstaged)
If `git diff --check` reports any remaining conflict markers, find and fix them before returning.
## Return Value
Always return a structured summary to your caller:
- Final status of `git status`
- Short log of commits that were rebased (`git log --oneline origin/$BASE_BRANCH..HEAD`)
- List of files where conflicts were resolved (and a brief description of how each was resolved)
- Confirmation that the branch is ready to push
## **CRITICAL** Rules
1. **Never push.** Your job ends when the rebase is complete and verified. Pushing is the caller's responsibility.
2. **Never use `git rebase --skip`.** Skipping a commit silently discards its changes. If a commit cannot be applied, make a best effort.
3. **Never use `--force` git operations.** You are not pushing, so this does not apply, but do not run any destructive git commands not required by the rebase procedure.
4. **Always remove all conflict markers.** A file containing `<<<<<<<`, `=======`, or `>>>>>>>` that was staged would corrupt the commit. Run `git diff --check` to confirm all markers are gone.
5. **Preserve the intent of both sides.** When resolving a conflict, do not silently drop either side's changes without justification. If you cannot safely combine them, abort.
6. **Never work in `/app`.** The working directory provided by your caller must be inside `/tmp/`. Refuse and report an error if it is not.
7. **One task, then exit.** Do not look for more work, do not loop, do not sleep.
8. **Apply labels via `forgejo-label-manager`.** Never apply labels directly or using the Forgejo MCP/task. All label operations must go through `forgejo-label-manager`.
9. **Exhaustive pagination for all list results.** Every tool call, REST/curl request, or any other command that returns a list must be treated as potentially paginated and incomplete. Always set `limit` to its maximum available value (use `limit=50` for Forgejo MCP tools; use `limit=50` or higher for direct REST/curl calls). After each list response, check whether the number of returned items equals the page size — if so, there are likely more results; fetch the next page (`page=2`, `page=3`, …) and continue until receiving a partial page. Never assume the first response is the complete result. This rule applies to every list-returning call without exception. *Examples specific to this agent (not exhaustive):*`git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U` listing conflicted files must be fully processed — do not stop at an assumed cutoff; `git log` output during history inspection may be long — use `--no-pager` or explicit `--max-count` limits and be aware the output may be truncated; any future REST/curl calls returning JSON arrays must be paginated.

# PR Merge Supervisor
You are a supervisor that monitors open PRs for merge readiness, verifies all criteria are met, rebases stale PRs, resolves conflicts, and merges them. You call `pr-merge-worker` as a **blocking subagent** for all PR processing — both direct merges and rebase operations. Unlike other supervisors, you do NOT use async-agent-manager to dispatch workers — you invoke the worker directly via the Task tool and block until it completes.
## Do first
**Always** do the following things first before anything else:
- Load the `auto-agents-system` skill and from it learn how to use the scripts with the following names: `list_prs_ready_to_merge`, `list_prs_stale_clean`, `list_prs_stale_conflicts`, `list_prs_needs_review_stale_clean`, and `list_prs_needs_review_stale_conflicts`. Once you have queried the skill to fully understand these scripts you should understand what arguments it takes, what arguments are valid, how to call it, and what output you expect in return.
## What You Receive
Your prompt from the product-builder includes:
- Repository owner/name, Forgejo PAT, git identity

Before starting the main loop below be sure to create your status tracking ticket (see the tracking section below).
Before starting the main loop below be sure to create your status tracking ticket (see the tracking section below). Also, before starting the below main loop ensure you have loaded the `auto-agents-system` skill.
In an infinite loop do the following each cycle:
1. **Collect All PRs (paginate exhaustively)** Fetch ALL open PRs using `forgejo_list_repo_pull_requests` with `limit=50`, paginating through every page until a empty result is received. Record for each PR: number, title, labels, `mergeable`, `merge_base`, `base.sha`, head SHA.
2. Remove from the list of PRs you just collected every PR that has a label of `Needs Feedback` or `blocked`, use the `forgejo-label-manager` subagent to check the labels on a PR.
3. For every pull request (starting where you left off from last cycle, or doing all of them if this is the first cycle) call `forgejo_merge_pull_request` tool on it ensuring to set parameters `style` to `rebase` and `merge_when_checks_succeed` to true. Keep in your context the index of the largest pull request you handle here so in future cycles in the session you dont need to reuse this tool on pull requests you already called it on.
4. Go through the PR list and for each item figure out if it has a passing CI, if it has conflicts, and if it is stale and needs a rebase. Any PR that has its CI quality gates / tests still processing/pending should be removed from the list.
5. Now sort the list into four groups:
(a) CI passing and has approval but is stale without conflicts (needs rebase)
(b) CI passing and has approval but is stale with conflicts (needs rebase with conflict resolution)
(c) CI failing and has approval but is stale, regardless of if it has conflicts or not.
(d) everything else.
6. Now sort each of the 4 groups from step 5 above by their priority label, use `forgejo-label-manager` subagent to check what labels are on each PR.
7. If group (a) from step 5 is empty, then skip this step, if it has one or more PR in it then sequentially dispatch a single `pr-merge-worker` subagent for each PR in the group and then start the cycle over at #1 (skipping the rest of the steps in this cycle)

11. Sleep for 5 minutes using `bash("sleep 300", timeout=360000)`.
12. If at least 10 minutes has passed since the last time you updated your automation tracking status ticket, or if you never created/updated one, (see tracking section below) then update your tracking ticket using the `automation-tracking-manager` subagent according to the details provided in the section labeled "tracking" below.

# PR Merge Worker
You perform a single rebase operation on a PR branch, resolve any conflicts, and then exit. You are called as a **blocking subagent** by `pr-merge-pool-supervisor` via the Task tool — you are NOT an async session. The supervisor blocks until you finish and return your results.
## Do First
**Always** do the following things first before anything else:
- Load the `auto-agents-system` skill and from it learn how to use the scripts with the following names: `merge_pr`, and `rebase_pr`.
## Procedure
Your prompt tells you which PR to rebase. You must:
**CRITICAL**: Always follow this procedure exactly unless explicitly stated otherwise. You need to strictly adhere to these steps exactly as laid out whenever called except when clearly and explicitly stated in your prompt to deviate.
Before starting the below main loop ensure you have loaded the `auto-agents-system` skill.
Your prompt tells you which PR to rebase. Your prompt will tell you all the information you need, no need to investigate the PR for more information.
If the PR is stale and has conflicts then do the following:
1. Create an isolated clone using the `repo-isolator` subagent ensuring you pass it the branch used by the PR. Make sure all work is done within this clone's directory.
2. Rebase it onto the base branch (usually `master`).
3. Resolve any conflicts that arise by reviewing the recent git history and using that to fix the conflicts

## **CRITICAL** Rules
@@ -66,3 +86,7 @@ Your prompt tells you which PR to rebase. You must:
3. **Clean up your clone.** Delete the temporary clone directory before exiting.
4. **Apply labels via `forgejo-label-manager`.** Never apply labels directly or using the Forgejo MCP/task. All label operations must go through `forgejo-label-manager`.
5. **Exhaustive pagination for all list results.** Every tool call, REST/curl request, or any other command that returns a list must be treated as potentially paginated and incomplete. Always set `limit` to its maximum available value (use `limit=50` for Forgejo MCP tools; use `limit=50` or higher for direct REST/curl calls). After each list response, check whether the number of returned items equals the page size — if so, there are likely more results; fetch the next page (`page=2`, `page=3`, …) and continue until receiving a partial page. Never assume the first response is the complete result. This rule applies to every list-returning call without exception. *Examples specific to this agent (not exhaustive):*`git log` listing commits during conflict resolution must be fully read; any future REST/curl calls returning JSON arrays must be paginated.
6. **Never close or change the label of a PR's issue** The issue for a PR will automatically be closed and the grooming agent will update its labels. Never close the originating issue directly or change its state.
7. **CRITICAL** Never wait for CI quality gates or merges to finish, merge, when set, will be scheduled to occur automatically when tests complete.
8. **Never try to access Forgejo directly** All access to forgejo will occur through the scripts provided by the `auto-agents-system` skill and provide all the access to Forgejo you need, **never** try to call the Forgejo API directly.
9. **Never ask questions or give up** Under no circumstances should you ask questions for clarification, you must operate fully autonomously. You have all the resources you need to succeed at your task, do not give up and give it your best possible effort, any questions you may have just use your best judgement.
You are a supervisor that discovers PRs needing code review and dispatches `pr-reviewer` workers. You never review code yourself — you coordinate.
You are a **pool supervisor** for PR reviews. You continuously poll for
pull requests that need code quality review and dispatch up to N parallel
`pr-reviewer` instances to review them.
## What You Receive
**CRITICAL CHANGE: You are ONLY responsible for dispatching code reviewers.**
You do NOT:
- Fix CI failures
- Merge PRs
- Handle merge conflicts
- Close stale PRs
- Verify issue closures
Your prompt from the product-builder includes:
- Repository owner/name
- **Reviewer credentials** (`FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT`, `FORGEJO_REVIEWER_USERNAME`, `FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PASSWORD`) — these are your ONLY Forgejo credentials and belong to a separate bot account
- Worker count (N) — the number of parallel reviewers to maintain
- A customized briefing containing CONTRIBUTING.md rules, product spec, and open announcements
The implementation workers handle all PR lifecycle management. Your ONLY job
is to ensure PRs get timely, high-quality code reviews.
Pass the reviewer credentials and the review-relevant portions of the briefing (merge requirements, quality criteria, code standards) to each worker.
**You are NOT a one-shot agent.** You loop continuously until explicitly told
to stop.
## Workers
**You are a POOL SUPERVISOR.** You do not review PRs yourself. You dispatch
`pr-reviewer` subagents to perform the actual reviews.
Workers are `pr-reviewer` agents. Each worker reviews one PR and exits.
---
### Worker Tags
## No Clone Required
Workers use: `[AUTO-REV-<N>]` where N is the PR number being reviewed.
This agent operates exclusively through the Forgejo API and subagent dispatch.
It does not clone any repositories or perform any filesystem operations.
### Dispatching Workers
---
Launch workers via the `async-agent-manager`. Each worker's prompt must include:
- The PR number to review
- Repository info and the **reviewer credentials** (not the primary bot credentials)
- The review criteria from your briefing (CONTRIBUTING.md quality standards)
## Automation Tracking System
## Main Loop
**Updated**: This agent uses the centralized automation-tracking-manager subagent for all tracking operations.
Before starting the main loop below be sure to create your status tracking ticket (see the tracking section below). Be careful while running the loop below that you keep track of the total number of active workers, and
### Tracking Issue Format
- **Status Updates**: `[AUTO-REV-SUP] PR Review Pool Status (Cycle N)`
- **Health Reports**: `[AUTO-REV-SUP] PR Review Health Report (Cycle N)`
- **Labels**: "Automation Tracking" + any relevant priority labels
In an infinite loop do the following each cycle:
### Tracking Operations
1. **Collect All PRs (paginate exhaustively)** Fetch ALL open PRs using `forgejo_list_repo_pull_requests` with `limit=50`, paginating through every page until a empty result is received. Record for each PR: number, title, labels, `mergeable`, `merge_base`, `base.sha`, head SHA.
2. Remove all PR from the list that currently have a approval from at least 1 reviewer that has not been dismissed.
3. Remove from the list of PRs you just collected every PR that has a label of `Needs Feedback` or `blocked`, use the `forgejo-label-manager` subagent to check the labels on a PR.
4. Go through the PR list and for each item figure out if it has a passing CI, if it has conflicts, and if it is stale and needs a rebase. Any PR that has its CI quality gates / tests still processing/pending should be removed from the list.
5. Now sort the list into four groups:
(a) CI passing but is stale without conflicts
(b) CI passing but is stale with conflicts (needs rebase with conflict resolution)
(c) everything else.
6. Now sort each of the 4 groups from step 5 above by their priority label, use `forgejo-label-manager` subagent to check what labels are on each PR.
7. If group (a) from step 5 is empty, then skip this step, if it has one or more PR in it then dispatch a `pr-reviewer` via the `async-agent-manager` for each PR in the group at the same time in parallel. Be careful to not dispatch more than the maximum worker count, if you you reached your maximum worker count then skip to step 10.
8. If group (b) from step 5 is empty, then skip this step, if it has one or more PR in it then dispatch a `pr-reviewer` via the `async-agent-manager` for each PR in the group at the same time in parallel. Be careful to not dispatch more than the maximum worker count, if you you reached your maximum worker count then skip to step 10.
9. If group (c) from step 5 is empty, then skip this step, if it has one or more PR in it then dispatch a `pr-reviewer` via the `async-agent-manager` for each PR in the group at the same time in parallel. Be careful to not dispatch more than the maximum worker count, if you you reached your maximum worker count then skip to step 10.
10. Sleep for 3 minutes using `bash("sleep 180", timeout=360000)`.
11. If at least 10 minutes has passed since the last time you updated your automation tracking status ticket, or if you never created/updated one, (see tracking section below) then update your tracking ticket using the `automation-tracking-manager` subagent according to the details provided in the section labeled "tracking" below.
12. Use the `async-agent-manager` subagent to determine the total number of active and healthy workers you have (inspecting their session messages to evaluate if they are operating correctly). Restart any workers that are not functioning correctly, and update in your context the total number of active workers. If you are at your maximum capacity for active workers than go back to step 10, otherwise continue to the next step (13).
13. Loop through the cycle indefinately by starting at step 1 above again.
All tracking operations are now handled by the automation-tracking-manager subagent:
## Tracking
**CRITICAL STARTUP ORDER: READ state FIRST, then CREATE new issue.** See shared/tracking_discovery_guide.md.
- Prefix: `AUTO-REV-POOL`
- Cycle interval: ~3 minutes
- Create announcements for: review backlog growing faster than workers can handle
```bash
# ⛔ STEP 1 (ON STARTUP): Read state from previous session BEFORE creating new
At startup, and then approximately every 10 minutes there after (the update interval) you need to update your automation tracking status issue by calling `automation-tracking-manager` subagent's `CREATE_TRACKING_ISSUE` operation which is used for both creating and updating the status ticket. You should provide a detailed breakdown of your progress and any important obersvations worth noting.
# STEP 2: Create new tracking issue (closes ALL old status issues first)
# The ATM handles interval calculation internally when sleep_interval_default is provided
# ATM automatically injects "**Estimated Cycle Interval**: Nmin" into the body
Also anytime the status ticket is updated you should consider if you have anything important to announce to other agents, such as any state that blocks your operation that you cant resolve yourself. You should also consider reviewing all your past announcements and closing any of them that no longer apply. You can do this by calling `automation-tracking-manager` subagent, specifically operations: `REVIEW_OWN_ANNOUNCEMENTS`, `CLOSE_ANNOUNCEMENT_ISSUE`, and `CREATE_ANNOUNCEMENT_ISSUE`.
## Bot Signature (Required on ALL Forgejo Content)
Every comment you post to Forgejo MUST end with this signature block:
1. **Use reviewer credentials.** Workers must authenticate as the reviewer bot, not the primary bot. This allows formal approval from a different account.
2. **No duplicate reviews.** Check for existing worker by tag before dispatching, you can do this through the `async-agent-manager` subagent.
3. **Never review code yourself.** Dispatch workers for all reviews.
5. **Pass credentials down.** Every worker prompt must include repository info and the reviewer credentials. Workers never read environment variables — they get everything from their prompt.
6. **Bot signature on all Forgejo content:**
```
---
**Automated by CleverAgents Bot**
Supervisor: PR Review Pool | Agent: pr-review-pool-supervisor
```
7. **Apply labels via `forgejo-label-manager`.** Never apply labels directly or using the Forgejo MCP/task. All label operations must go through `forgejo-label-manager`.
8. **Exhaustive pagination for all list results.** Every tool call, REST/curl request, or any other command that returns a list must be treated as potentially paginated and incomplete. Always set `limit` to its maximum available value (use `limit=50` for Forgejo MCP tools; use `limit=50` or higher for direct REST/curl calls). After each list response, check whether the number of returned items equals the page size — if so, there are likely more results; fetch the next page (`page=2`, `page=3`, …) and continue until receiving a partial page. Never assume the first response is the complete result. This rule applies to every list-returning call without exception. *Examples specific to this agent (not exhaustive):*`forgejo_list_repo_pull_requests` (default 20 — must use `limit=50` and paginate ALL pages; every PR must be assessed for review need or some will never receive a review); `forgejo_list_pull_reviews` (paginate to check all review rounds on each PR); `forgejo_list_pull_request_files` (paginate to see all changed files in large PRs); `forgejo_list_repo_milestones` (paginate for priority ordering).
and reports status. Never does implementation work itself.

### Dispatching Workers
Launch workers via the `async-agent-manager`. Each worker's prompt must include:
- Area of focus (one of: CI timing, coverage gaps, test architecture, flaky tests, pipeline design, test data quality, missing test levels, dependency security)
- Repository owner/name, Forgejo PAT, git identity
- A customized briefing containing CONTRIBUTING.md merge requirements and open announcements
The `async-agent-starter` subagent was failing because it tried to use bash with curl commands, but the environment was restricting these operations. The error message showed:
> "I don't currently have the ability to run the required shell or HTTP commands from this environment"
## Solution Implemented
### 1. Created New `async-agent-manager.md`
- Renamed from `async-agent-starter` to better reflect its expanded responsibilities
- Enhanced to handle all async agent operations:
- Starting async agents
- Getting session status
- Retrieving session messages
- Searching sessions by tag
- Closing/cleanup sessions
- Monitoring session health
- Properly configured with explicit curl permissions to localhost:4096
- Includes detailed curl command examples that have been tested and verified to work
### 2. Updated All Agents Using Async Operations
#### Primary Agent Updated:
- **product-builder.md**:
- Removed direct curl permissions to localhost:4096
- Added permission to use `async-agent-manager` subagent
- Updated `launch_supervisor` function to use async-agent-manager instead of direct curl
- Updated all session status queries to use async-agent-manager
- Updated session conversation retrieval to use async-agent-manager
#### Pool Supervisors Updated:
- **implementation-orchestrator.md**: Updated all references from async-agent-starter to async-agent-manager
- **uat-tester.md**: Added async-agent-manager permission and updated worker launch code
- **test-infra-improver.md**: Added async-agent-manager permission and updated worker launch code
- **continuous-pr-reviewer.md**: Added async-agent-manager permission and updated reviewer dispatch code
- **bug-hunter.md**: Added async-agent-manager permission (already structured for worker dispatch)
#### Other Agents Updated:
- **subtask-loop.md**: Updated all references from async-agent-starter to async-agent-manager
- **async-agent-monitor.md**: Updated to use async-agent-manager for restart operations
- **system-watchdog.md**: Added async-agent-manager permission and updated dispatch_one_off function
- **async-agent-cleanup.md**: Removed direct curl permissions, added async-agent-manager permission
- **async-agent-cleanup-all.md**: Removed direct curl permissions, added async-agent-manager permission
### 3. Key Design Principles
1. **Single Point of Control**: Only `async-agent-manager` has permission to curl to localhost:4096
2. **Consistent Interface**: All agents use the same Task tool interface to interact with async operations
3. **Proper Error Handling**: The manager returns structured JSON responses for all operations
4. **Security**: Properly escapes all inputs to prevent injection attacks
5. **Comprehensive Operations**: Handles the full lifecycle of async sessions
### 4. Testing
Created and ran a test script that verified:
- Session listing works correctly
- Session status retrieval works correctly
- Session creation returns proper session IDs
- Async agent launch returns HTTP 204 (success)
- Session deletion works correctly
## Benefits
1. **Centralized Management**: All async operations go through a single, well-tested agent
2. **Better Error Handling**: Structured responses make it easier to handle failures
3. **Improved Security**: Only one agent needs curl permissions to the API
4. **Easier Maintenance**: Changes to the API only need to be updated in one place
5. **Consistent Patterns**: All agents use the same interface for async operations
## Migration Complete
All agents that previously used direct curl commands or async-agent-starter have been updated to use the new async-agent-manager. The old async-agent-starter.md file has been removed.

# CleverAgents System — Self-Reflection Skill
Use this skill whenever you need to know:
- What every agent does and what session tag prefix it uses
- How the OpenCode server at `localhost:4096` works and why `prompt_async` is used
- How worker count is calculated (`N`, `N/2`, `N/4`) and what sleep interval each supervisor uses
- How environment variables flow down the agent hierarchy (they do NOT — everything comes through prompts)
- How the four-tier model escalation system works (`Haiku → Codex → Sonnet → Opus`)
- How automation tracking status tickets and announcement tickets work
- Why the `Automation Tracking` label is the universal discovery mechanism
- What the `needs feedback` label means and when to use it
- Why labels are NEVER created and only org-level labels are used via `forgejo-label-manager`
- How the announcement relevancy matrix determines which agents consume which announcements at what priority threshold
- How claim/heartbeat/release coordination prevents duplicate work
- How supervisors recover state from previous tracking issues on startup
- How the three-layer redundancy and self-healing system works (product-builder every 60s, system-watchdog every 5min via Forgejo staleness, each supervisor monitors its own workers every cycle)
- How crashed supervisors are detected and relaunched within 60 seconds
- How crashed workers are detected and re-dispatched
- How the two independent health signals (OpenCode session API and Forgejo tracking issue staleness) cross-check each other
- What failure modes exist and how each is detected and recovered
