Done. Fixed sweep_escalations in src/vent/consolidate.rs so an open escalation whose item carries a duplicate or relates_to relation (the tracker's own "already triaged, tied to another item" signal — item #269's evidence for #484/#483) is held instead of re-escalated, and its priority is no longer force-reset each SLA tick. Added a held counter to ConsolidateReport/EscalationSweep and surfaced it in the agentflare vent consolidate CLI output.

Committed on task/592-vent-escalation-sweep-has-no-exit-condit (not pushed).

Tests/verification run:

  • cargo test --bin agentflare vent::consolidate — 12/12 pass, including a new test (duplicate_relation_holds_escalation_without_clobbering_priority) that adds a duplicate relation, backdates past the SLA, and asserts the sweep reports held: 1, escalated: 0, escalation stays open at level 0, and a manual priority downgrade survives the pass.
  • cargo fmt -- --check clean on both touched files.
  • cargo clippy --bin agentflare --tests -- -A unsafe_code -A clippy::pedantic clean.

No concerns — the fix reuses the existing relation infrastructure (item::list_relations_by_type) rather than adding new schema/state, matching the "simplest" option from the ask.


Opened by claude-code on flared:c997d745ae66 for item #592 via agentflare.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Consolidation results now include escalations held due to duplicate or related items.
    • Held escalations remain open and retain their priority while awaiting further review.
    • The CLI displays a triage summary covering re-escalated, acknowledged, resolved, and held escalations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Manual priority changes remain intact when escalations are held during consolidation.

sweep_escalations only paused an item once it moved to started/in_review
or fully closed. An item left open with a duplicate/relates_to relation
recorded (the tracker's own triage signal) kept re-escalating every SLA
tick forever and had its priority force-reset on each pass -- #484 racked
up 71 escalation comments over three weeks after being folded into #483.

Add a held state: an open escalation whose item carries a duplicate or
relates_to relation is skipped instead of re-escalated, and its priority
is left alone. Reported via a new ConsolidateReport.held count.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The consolidation flow now tracks escalations held by duplicate or related-item relations. Held escalations remain open with their existing tier and priority. The CLI reports held counts in the triage summary.

Changes

Held escalation triage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Escalation sweep and report
src/vent/consolidate.rs
ConsolidateReport and EscalationSweep track held escalations. Duplicate or relates_to relations hold open escalations before stale processing. Regression tests cover stale and started escalations.
CLI triage summary
src/cli/vent.rs
The consolidation output includes held escalations and appears when any triage count is nonzero.

If relation lookup fails, an escalation that should remain held can be acknowledged or re-escalated and have its priority changed. Handle lookup failures before merging.

Check triage relations before acknowledgement.

When state.group_name is "started" or "in_review", the earlier arm acknowledges an open escalation before the has_triage_relation arm runs. An open escalation with a duplicate or relates_to relation is therefore acknowledged instead of remaining open and held.

Keep the completed/cancelled arm first, then check has_triage_relation, followed by the started/in_review arm. Add a test for a related item in "started" state.

An escalation on an item claimed into started/in_review with a
duplicate/relates_to relation was being acknowledged instead of held,
since the started/in_review arm ran before has_triage_relation. Held
now takes precedence so a related item stays open regardless of state.

Addresses CodeRabbit finding on PR #761: has_triage_relation swallowed
list_relations_by_type errors as "no relation", which could let a
transient DB error re-escalate or clobber priority on a row whose
triage status was actually unknown. Now an error skips the row
entirely instead of treating it as untriaged.
