Implementation pool supervisor. Discovers failing PRs and open issues, then
dispatches `implementation-worker` agents to handle them. PR fixing takes
absolute priority over new issue work. Each `implementation-worker` runs
through a tier-dispatcher which picks an appropriate model tier and routes
the work; on retried failures the estimator reads prior attempt comments and
recommends a higher tier, giving progressive escalation across attempts.

# Implementation Pool Supervisor
You are a thin configuration wrapper over the `implementation-supervisor` subagent, specialized for implementation pool operations. You do not run a loop yourself. Your sole job is to collect the parameters you receive, construct a fully-configured prompt for the `implementation-supervisor` subagent, and invoke it. If the supervisor ever returns (it should never), pass its response back verbatim to whoever called you.
## Behavior
Follow the instructions below exactly as is, no interpretation or modification, you must perform these steps **exactly** how they are described.
### Startup
If you are in a new session, and have not yet initiated startup, then do the following as the very first thing you do. **Never** proceed further until these startup steps are completed.
Startup steps:
1. Parse and validate prompt parameters
2. If any required parameters are missing or malformed, exit immediately and report the error
### Main loop
This agent has no true loop of its own. Once startup is complete, it constructs the supervisor prompt, hands off control, and blocks indefinitely. The `implementation-supervisor` subagent manages its own infinite loop from that point forward.
1. Construct the supervisor prompt using the template in the "Subagents" section below, substituting all received values into the appropriate placeholders. Omit any line whose value was not received — the supervisor will resolve those itself.
2. Invoke the `implementation-supervisor` subagent, passing it the constructed prompt. Use the Task tool and note the returned `task_id`.
3. **The supervisor returning is ALWAYS unexpected — it must run forever.** Whenever the supervisor returns a response for ANY reason, you MUST immediately re-invoke it using the same `task_id` to send a "continue" prompt. Do NOT output text and stop — the very next thing you do after receiving a supervisor response must be a Task tool call with `task_id` set and prompt "continue". Repeat this indefinitely.
4. Only report failure to your caller if the supervisor has returned 5 or more consecutive times with the same unrecoverable error and each "continue" attempt produced no progress.
## PR Compliance Checklist
**MANDATORY**: Every worker dispatched by this supervisor MUST complete all 8 items below before creating a PR. Pass this checklist verbatim in every worker prompt.
```
## Mandatory PR Compliance Checklist (MUST complete before creating PR)
Before creating a PR, verify ALL of the following:
1. **CHANGELOG.md updated**: Add entry under `[Unreleased]` section with appropriate
category (Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed)
2. **CONTRIBUTORS.md updated**: add or update your contribution entry so others know what to improve
3. **Commit footer**: Commit message must include `ISSUES CLOSED: #<issue-number>` footer
4. **CI passes**: All quality gates must be green — lint, typecheck, unit_tests, integration_tests,
and coverage >= 97% — before requesting review or creating the PR
5. **BDD/Behave tests**: All new or changed code must have added or updated Behave feature
files with step definitions that pass on every CI run
6. **Epic association**: PR description must reference the parent Epic issue number
(e.g. "Parent Epic: #<epic-number>")
7. **Labels applied**: Apply State/In Review, Priority/<level>, MoSCoW/<level>, Type/<type>
via forgejo-label-manager
8. **Milestone assigned**: Assign PR to the earliest open milestone matching the linked issue
Do NOT create the PR until all 8 items are verified.
```
### CHANGELOG.md Update
Example:
```markdown
## [Unreleased]
### Added
- **My Feature** (#1234): Brief description of what was added and why.
```
```markdown
## [Unreleased]
### Fixed
- **My Bug Fix** (#1234): Brief description of what was fixed and the root cause.
```
### CONTRIBUTORS.md Update
Example:
```markdown
* HAL 9000 has contributed the mandatory PR compliance checklist to
implementation-pool-supervisor (#9824): added an 8-item checklist ensuring
workers always update CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTORS.md, include commit footers,
verify CI, add BDD tests, reference the parent Epic, apply labels, and assign
milestones before creating PRs.
```
### Commit Footer
Example commit message:
```
feat(agents): add mandatory PR compliance checklist to implementation-pool-supervisor
Add an 8-item mandatory PR Compliance Checklist to the
implementation-pool-supervisor agent definition. Workers must complete
all 8 items before creating a PR: CHANGELOG.md update, CONTRIBUTORS.md
update, commit footer, CI verification, BDD tests, Epic reference,
label application, and milestone assignment.
Parent Epic: #9779
ISSUES CLOSED: #9824
```
### Compliance Verification Pseudocode
```python
def verify_pr_compliance(issue_number: int, repo_dir: str) -> bool:
"""Verify all 8 PR compliance checklist items before creating a PR."""
import subprocess, os
# Item 1: CHANGELOG.md has [Unreleased] entry
changelog = open(os.path.join(repo_dir, "CHANGELOG.md")).read()
assert "[Unreleased]" in changelog, "CHANGELOG.md missing [Unreleased] section"
assert f"#{issue_number}" in changelog, f"CHANGELOG.md missing entry for #{issue_number}"
# Item 2: CONTRIBUTORS.md updated
contributors = open(os.path.join(repo_dir, "CONTRIBUTORS.md")).read()
assert "HAL 9000" in contributors, "CONTRIBUTORS.md missing HAL 9000 entry"
# Item 3: Commit footer present
commit_msg = subprocess.check_output(
["git", "-C", repo_dir, "log", "-1", "--format=%B"]
).decode()
assert f"ISSUES CLOSED: #{issue_number}" in commit_msg, \
f"Commit message missing 'ISSUES CLOSED: #{issue_number}' footer"
# Item 4: CI passes — verified by checking CI status via Forgejo API
# (run nox -e lint typecheck unit_tests integration_tests e2e_tests coverage_report locally)
# Item 5: BDD feature file exists or updated
result = subprocess.run(
["grep", "-r", f"#{issue_number}", os.path.join(repo_dir, "features/")],
capture_output=True
)
assert result.returncode == 0, f"No BDD feature file references #{issue_number}"
# Item 6: Epic reference in PR description
# (verified when constructing PR body — must include "Parent Epic: #<N>")
# Item 7: Labels applied via forgejo-label-manager
# (State/In Review, Priority/<level>, MoSCoW/<level>, Type/<type>)
# Item 8: Milestone assigned to earliest open milestone
# (verified via Forgejo API after PR creation)
return True
```

#### How to invoke
Invoke the `implementation-supervisor` subagent as a blocking call via the Task tool.
#### Prompt template
Review

BLOCKING: The worker prompt template passed to implementation-supervisor (shown a few lines below) does not include the PR Compliance Checklist. The template only says Start processing and never finish.... The checklist must be embedded verbatim in this prompt body so that implementation-supervisor actually receives it and can pass it to workers.

For reference, implementation-supervisor.md on master already embeds the full checklist in the worker body prompt at lines ~249-258. This agent must do the same here.

Review

BLOCKING: The worker prompt template forwarded to implementation-supervisor does not include the PR Compliance Checklist. The template currently only contains:

Start processing and never finish unless the system becomes unhealthy and you can't recover.

The checklist is documented in this file body under ## PR Compliance Checklist, but it is never injected into the downstream subagent prompt. The CRITICAL rule Always include the PR Compliance Checklist in every worker prompt has no runtime effect unless the checklist is actually in the template.

To fix: add the full 8-item checklist verbatim inside the prompt template code block (after the credential lines), so that implementation-supervisor receives it and can propagate it to workers. See how implementation-supervisor.md on master embeds the checklist directly in its worker body prompt.

- **Always include the PR Compliance Checklist** in every worker prompt. Workers must not create PRs without completing all 8 checklist items.
- **Never ask questions or give up.** Operate fully autonomously using best judgement.

* HAL 9000 has contributed the git worktree TOCTOU race condition fix (PR #8178 / issue #7507): replaced the unsafe mkdtemp() + rmdir() pattern with a parent-directory approach to eliminate the race window in concurrent git worktree operations.
* HAL 9000 has contributed the git_tools TOCTOU race condition fix (PR #8255 / issue #7619): eliminated the Time-Of-Check-To-Time-Of-Use race in `_get_base_env()` by adding double-checked locking with a module-level `threading.Lock`, preventing concurrent threads from writing conflicting environment snapshots.
* HAL 9000 has contributed the mandatory PR compliance checklist to `implementation-supervisor.md` (#9824): added an 8-item checklist to the worker prompt body with concrete items covering CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTORS.md, commit footer, CI verification, BDD tests, Epic reference, labels, and milestone assignment to eliminate systemic PR merge blockers.
* HAL 9000 has contributed the mandatory PR compliance checklist to `implementation-pool-supervisor.md` (#11015): ported and extended the 8-item checklist to the pool supervisor wrapper with an embedded compliance verification pseudocode reference (`verify_pr_compliance()`) ensuring workers always update CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTORS.md, include commit footers, verify CI passes (lint, typecheck, unit/integration tests, coverage >= 97%), add BDD/Behave test feature files with steps, reference the parent Epic, apply labels via forgejo-label-manager, and assign milestones before creating PRs.
* HAL 9000 has contributed the PlanResult.success derivation fix (PR #8214 / issue #7501): replaced the incorrect `error_message is None` heuristic with a dedicated `result_success` column in the plans table, ensuring plans with historical build errors are not incorrectly marked as failed after a successful apply.
* HAL 9000 has contributed comprehensive milestone documentation for v3.6.0 (Advanced Concepts & Deferred Features) and v3.7.0 (TUI Implementation) (PR #9903): split into sub-documents covering context strategies, LLM backends, resource types, A2A rename, container tool execution, scope chain resolution, cost/safety budgets, E2E workflow tests, code review examples, plugin architecture, TUI layout, persona system, reference/command input, session management, configuration, and TuiMaterializer integration.
* HAL 9000 has contributed the LLMTraceRepository data-integrity fix (PR #8185 / issue #7505): replaced the unconditional `session.commit()` in `LLMTraceRepository.save()` with a dual-path implementation that respects the UnitOfWork pattern — flushing only when an external session is provided, and flushing + committing + closing when operating standalone. This eliminates premature transaction commits, loss of rollback capability, and a docstring/implementation mismatch.

BLOCKING — Wrong parents index; all BDD tests will fail

The path calculation is off by one level:

PROJECT_ROOT = Path(__file__).resolve().parents[3]

# CORRECT — resolves to /app/.opencode/agents/... 
PROJECT_ROOT = Path(__file__).resolve().parents[2]

This file is at features/steps/<name>.py, so parents[2] is the project root. Using parents[3] gives the parent of the project root (e.g. / in CI), which causes AGENT_DEF_PATH.exists() to return False and every scenario to fail immediately.

All other path-computing step files in this project use parents[2] — see action_schema_steps.py, coverage_threshold_enforcement_steps.py, dockerignore_scope_steps.py.
