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
Fix the plan lifecycle decision tree to record
prompt_definitionas the root decision during the Strategize phase, as mandated by the decision tree specification. Previously,strategy_choicewas incorrectly recorded as the root decision, violating the spec and causing incorrect decision tree rendering in CLI commands.Changes

PR: fix(plan-lifecycle): record prompt_definition as root decision during Strategize
Focus area (PR 9195 % 5 = 0): Correctness and spec alignment
✅ What is Correct
1. Core fix is correct and spec-aligned.
The change from
strategy_choicetoprompt_definitioninstart_strategize()correctly aligns with the decision tree specification. TheDecisionmodel enforces via_root_decision_constraintsthatprompt_definitiondecisions must have no parent — the oldstrategy_choiceroot was violating this invariant at the domain model level.2.
chosen_optionfallback chain is appropriate.This gracefully handles plans with no description by falling back to
action_name, thenplan_idas a last resort. TheDecisionService.record_decision()validates thatchosen_optionis non-empty, so theplan_idfallback ensures the call never fails due to an empty string.3.
questionvalue matches spec.question="What is the plan prompt?"matches the expected value documented in the issue and used in existingdecision_recording.featuretests.4. PR metadata is well-formed.
Type/Bug(correct for a bug fix)Closes #9061in PR bodyfix(plan-lifecycle): ...❌ Blocking Issues
Issue 1: Missing step definitions file (CRITICAL)
The new feature file
features/tdd_plan_lifecycle_decision_root_type.featurehas no corresponding step definitions file. CONTRIBUTING.md explicitly requires:The file
features/steps/tdd_plan_lifecycle_decision_root_type_steps.pydoes not exist in the PR branch. The following steps need implementations:Given I have a plan lifecycle service with decision serviceGiven an action "local/test-action" with description "Test action description"And a plan created from "local/test-action"When I start strategize on the planThen the root decision should be recorded with type "prompt_definition"And the root decision question should be "What is the plan prompt?"And the root decision chosen_option should contain the plan descriptionWithout step implementations, the feature file will cause Behave to report undefined steps, which will fail CI.
Issue 2: Missing BDD tags on feature file (CONTRIBUTING.md violation)
All other TDD feature files in this repository use
@tdd_issueand@tdd_issue_<number>tags at the Feature level. For example:tdd_plan_execute_phase_processing.feature:@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_967 @mock_only @tdd_issue_4178tdd_plan_correct_plan_id.feature:@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_969tdd_invariant_persistence.feature:@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_1022 @mock_onlyThe new feature file has no tags at all. It should have at minimum:
⚠️ Non-Blocking Observations
Observation 1:
decision_root_idis not updated bystart_strategize()The issue acceptance criteria states:
However,
start_strategize()calls_try_record_decision()which uses a fire-and-forget pattern (failures are swallowed). Thedecision_root_idon the plan is actually set byPlanExecutor.run_strategize()(line 709:plan.decision_root_id = result.decision_root_id) from the strategize actor's result, not from_try_record_decision(). This means thedecision_root_idacceptance criterion is satisfied by the executor, not by this fix directly. This is architecturally correct but worth noting — the BDD scenario should verify the decision type recorded, not thedecision_root_idon the plan (which is set elsewhere).Observation 2: Feature file naming convention
The feature file is named
tdd_plan_lifecycle_decision_root_type.featurebut theFeature:title isPlan Lifecycle Decision Root Type(without theTDD Issue #9061 —prefix used by other TDD features). Other TDD features follow the patternTDD Issue #<N> — <description>. This is a minor inconsistency.Summary
The core code change (3 lines in
plan_lifecycle_service.py) is correct and directly addresses the bug. However, the PR cannot be merged as-is because:@tdd_issuetags — violates project conventionsPlease add
features/steps/tdd_plan_lifecycle_decision_root_type_steps.pywith full step implementations, and add@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_9061tags to the feature file.Automated by CleverAgents Bot

Missing step definitions file:
