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.

Merge driver heartbeat stale; pipeline halted. Closed automatically on next clean tick.
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.
Tracking issues used by the AI Automation system for agents to communicate and report.
Rebase conflict needs LLM conflict-resolver.
Failing CI needs implementer attention.
Documenting a driver incident or rollback.
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.
A ticket in a blocked state and unable to complete until some other task is completed first.

Fixes actor registration crash when using the spec-compliant combined
config.actorformat.Problem
Users running
agents actor add --config ./actor.yamlwith a YAML file using combined-format config.actor crashed with "Invalid value: 'provider' is required" because the parser never flattened the nested structure.Solution (three-layer defense)
schema.py::_detect_nested_config_actor): Recognizes both compact string form and nested dict ofconfig.actor.actor.py: add()): Merges config["actor"] fields into the top-level blob before downstream processing.config.py::from_blob()+_extract_v3_actor()): Flattens at the model level with priority: (1) config-actor, (2) top-level type, (3) actors map fallback.Changes

Closes #11189
When users register actors via `agents actor add --config` using the spec-compliant combined config.actor YAML format — either as a compact string (config:\n actor: "<provider>/<model>") or as a nested dict (config:\n actor:\n type: llm\n provider: aws) — the CLI crashed with click.BadParameter: "Invalid value: 'provider' is required" because the parser did not detect or flatten the nested structure. Added: - _detect_nested_config_actor() in schema.py to recognise both compact-string and nested-dict forms of config-actor format. - _flatten_config_actor() in schema.py to merge config["actor"] fields into the dict top-level (removing the wrapper). - Flattening logic in ActorConfiguration.from_blob() to handle both string ("<provider>/<model>") and nested-dict forms of config.actor. - CLI flattening step at the start of `agents actor add` command. - New BDD scenarios for combined-format registration. - Unit tests for detection, flattening, schema-v3 detection, and full from_blob() flow. ISSUES CLOSED: #11189CI Checks Required
No CI checks have been reported as passing for this PR. Per company policy, all CI gates (lint, typecheck, security_scan, unit_tests, coverage_report) must pass before a PR can be approved and merged.
Please ensure the following CI checks are configured and passing before resubmission for review:
lint— ruff linting + format checktypecheck— Pyright strict type checking (zero # type: ignore tolerated)security_scan— bandit + semgrep + vultureunit_tests— Behave BDD tests in features/coverage_report— Slipcover coverage measurement (must be >= 97%)Note: A full code review will be conducted once CI checks are in place. This PR is currently blocked by CI gate failure.

ca7668befato728b68f034728b68f034to32a23f32a6Lint (ruff): - schema.py: import `cast`, replace non-breaking hyphens, inline SIM103 return, wrap long is_nested_v3 line - config.py: replace `if k in d: del d[k]` with `pop`, collapse nested ifs (SIM102) - format both reformatted-only files (ruff format) Typecheck (pyright): - config.py: guard `actor_type.lower()` calls with isinstance checks so the None branch is type-safe Unit tests (behave): - Remove duplicate `@then('v3actor the command ...')` and `@then('the actor should be registered with type ...')` registrations that crashed step-registry with AmbiguousStep — shared versions live in actor_add_v3_schema_validation_steps.py - Add missing Actor import; drop unused ActorConfiguration / is_v3_yaml imports and unused provider/model locals - Populate `context.registered_actor_type` from the upsert call args so the shared assertion step works for combined-format scenarios - Add a `@when("I run the actor add command without a name argument")` step that exercises the CLI's "Actor name is required" validation path (the previously-active step always supplied a name, masking the scenario's intent) ISSUES CLOSED: #11189Coverage (96.5% threshold) was failing because the prior implementation of `_extract_v3_actor` and `_extract_config_actor` contained unreachable code that the test suite could not exercise. schema.py — remove `_extract_config_actor()`. The function was defined but never called. `_detect_nested_config_actor` + `_flatten_config_actor` (both used by `cli/commands/actor.py`) cover all real call sites. config.py — remove the `if isinstance(config_block, dict):` branch in `_extract_v3_actor`. `from_blob` already flattens `config.actor` and pops the `config` key BEFORE calling `_extract_v3_actor` (lines 207-221), so `data.get("config")` always returns None and the branch is dead. Net: -88 LoC, no semantic change (the dead code never executed). The existing BDD scenarios in `features/actor_add_combined_config_format.feature` continue to pass unchanged.

📋 Estimate: tier 1.
All six CI failures cascade from a single IndentationError in config.py:76 (@classmethod decorator at wrong indentation level), plus a missing
castimport in schema.py. Secondary issues include Ruff violations (non-breaking hyphens, SIM103 inline condition, E501 line length), Pyright errors (reportOptionalMemberAccess,from_blobunknown attribute), and type annotation gaps. The feature itself spans 4 source files (+837/-51 LOC): schema.py (3 new functions + extended is_v3_yaml), config.py (reworked from_blob + _extract_v3_actor), CLI actor.py (flattening step), plus 20-case test file and BDD scenarios. Multi-file scope, type-checking requirements, and need to understand the three-layer flattening architecture place this squarely at tier 1.(attempt #2, tier 1)
