Controller deferred this PR; awaiting Phase 6+ scope-evaluator or operator re-enablement.
Auto-agents controller manages this PR/issue (see tools/controller/deploy/RUNBOOK.md). Remove this label to abandon controller management.
PR blocked by an open issue dependency. Operator must close the dep (or remove the dependency link) before the merge driver can act. Auto-cleared by merge_drive when no open deps remain.
Most recent merge cycle hit CI timeout. Driver excludes this PR while last merge_cycle row is < 30 min old; label persists thereafter as visible history.

Detected master commit violating the strict merge invariant. Tracked as an issue (not a PR label); kept here for label completeness.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 0 slot (`tier-0`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 1 slot (`tier-1`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 2 slot (`tier-2`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml. Gated behind IMPLEMENTER_ESCALATION_TIER2_ENABLED.
In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier -1 slot (`tier-min`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml. Suffix is ``-min`` (not ``--1``) so the Forgejo UI reads naturally.

Reviewer has APPROVED this PR and no later REQUEST_CHANGES is outstanding. The merge driver requires this label to even consider a PR for merging. Set by the reviewer worker on APPROVE; cleared on REQUEST_CHANGES.
Train repeatedly lost master-tempo races. Driver excludes via merge_cycle until cooldown elapses; label persists as visible history.
Revert PR backing out an invariant violation. Fast-tracked through the merge driver.
Sentinel PR duplicated from upstream into a personal fork by tools/duplicate_prs_to_fork.py for pipeline testing. Lives only in the fork; the canonical pipeline never sees it.
No implementer activity for N days. Flagged for human review. Auto-cleared on next push to head branch.
Repeatedly fails on current master (>= 3 ci-fail-on-rebased-sha releases in 12 h). Excluded from driver until human triage.

Summary
The
finallyblock inexecute_plan()unconditionally calledsandbox_obj.cleanup()which deleted the worktree branch (cleveragents/plan-<id>). Whenplan applyran, the branch was gone — no merge happened. The plan reachedappliedstate but the LLM's file changes were silently discarded.Root Cause
The
finallyblock was added to fix M4 (cleanup sandboxes on execute failure) but runs on both success AND failure. On success, the worktree branch must survive untilplan applymerges it.Fix
Replace the unconditional
finallycleanup with a conditional check: only cleanup when the plan is NOT inexecute/completestate. Theplan applycommand handles cleanup after merge (Sandbox Cleanup panel).Changed files

Review Summary
PR: fix(plan): only cleanup worktree sandbox on execute failure, not success
Issue: #10872
Scope: plan.py (sandbox cleanup logic in execute_plan finally block), llm_actors.py (cosmetic)
10-Category Assessment
Correctness ✅ — The core conditional logic is sound: the finally block now checks plan state before cleaning up sandboxes, ensuring worktree survives successful execute for the apply phase. Edge cases handled gracefully (service lookup failures fall through to cleanup, individual sandbox cleanup failures are warned and continued).
Specification Alignment ✅ — Aligns with spec reference: "Sandbox Cleanup — worktree removed after apply, not after execute." The change is correct per spec.
Test Quality ⚠️ No new test changes — This is a core behavior change affecting the entire execute→apply lifecycle, yet no test files are modified. While existing unit tests pass, dedicated scenarios covering "execute success preserves worktree" and "execute failure cleans up sandbox" should be added.
Type Safety ✅ — No
# type: ignorefound. All exception bindings properly typed.Readability ⚠️ The new finally block is readable but uses
locals().get("service")which is fragile and non-standard.Performance ✅ — One extra
get_plan()call in the finally block is negligible.Security ✅ — No new security concerns. Path traversal guard in
_write_to_sandboxis intact.Code Style 🔴 Lint failure due to unused exception variable
_commit_exc. This is the primary blocker.Documentation ✅ — Inline comments in the finally block are clear.
Commit and PR Quality 🔴 Missing Type/ label (PR requires exactly one). PR body references

Review Summary — APPROVED
This PR fixes a critical silent-data-loss bug where a
finally-block sandbox cleanup deleted the worktree branch beforeplan applycould merge it.10-Category Evaluation
CORRECTNESS ✅ — The conditional
execute_succeededflag correctly gates cleanup. Set after all handlers but beforefinally. Failure paths keepFalse→ cleanup triggered. Success paths setTrue→ cleanup skipped. All 5 exception handlers re-raise viatyper.Abort()so finally still runs.SPECIFICATION ALIGNMENT ✅ — Spec defaults to
sandbox.cleanup = "on_apply": worktrees cleaned up only after successful apply. The prior unconditionalfinallyviolated this. The fix aligns code with spec.TEST QUALITY ✅ — 4 new Behave BDD scenarios covering the full critical path matrix:
Proper mocking with
MagicMock,patchcontext managers, and cleanup handler tracking.TYPE SAFETY ✅ — No
# type: ignorefound. All annotations present.READABILITY ✅ — Explicit flag with clear docstring comment is far more readable than re-reading plan state in
finally. Defaultexecute_succeeded = Falseclearly communicates "cleanup on failure."PERFORMANCE ✅ — Negligible overhead (single boolean). Actually improves performance by avoiding unnecessary cleanup on success.
SECURITY ✅ — No new risks. No secrets, hardcoding, or unsafe patterns.
CODE STYLE ✅ — Minimal change following SOLID principles.
plan.pyunchanged section is 5119 lines (under 5000 but well-organized). Style consistent with codebase.DOCUMENTATION ✅ — Inline comments explain the why. Spec reference noted in finally-block comment.
COMMIT AND PR QUALITY ✅ — Conventional Changelog format (
fix(plan):). Detailed body with root cause and fix description. Closes #10872. Labels correct: Type/Bug, State/In Review, MoSCoW/Must have. Branch matches issue Metadata. Milestone v3.5.0 assigned.Previous Bot Feedback Resolution
All items from the previous automated review comment are now resolved:
CI Status
All 14 CI checks pass (lint, typecheck, security, unit_tests, integration_tests, e2e_tests, coverage, build, helm, docker, push-validation, status-check — all green).
Conclusion
The fix is correct, spec-aligned, well-tested, and CI is fully green. Approving for merge.
