chore: Gated force-override for item claim/release/done when a claim is live-but-stale on a confirmed-dead job - #807
Merged
getappz merged 3 commits intoSep 24, 2026
Conversation
…e/done/check_merge (#639) - release|done|check_merge accept force=true + required force_reason; refused unless the claim owner's job is terminal in the job queue, a terminal 'agentflare work — failed' comment was posted since the claim was taken, or the item's PR is pushed with passing/merged CI. Overrides post an audit comment (action, prior owner, new owner, evidence, reason). - check_merge force also promotes a not-in_review item whose PR is merged. - Supervisor discovery tick auto-releases claims whose owner job is dead AND carry a post-claim terminal failure comment, no force call needed. - Normal TTL self-clear behavior unchanged.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds reasoned force overrides for item release, completion, and merge checks. Qualifying evidence permits a live claim takeover. Forced merge checks can promote merged items to completed. The supervisor discovery tick also releases eligible claims held by terminal jobs.

Make auto-release and its audit comment atomic.
item::release commits before auto_release_dead_claims calls comment::create. If comment creation fails, the claim stays released, the error is discarded, and the released claim is counted as successful. The next sweep cannot retry that claim because the release deletes it.
Move the release, assignee cleanup, and comment insertion into one transaction. Commit only after all operations succeed. with_backend_db does not provide this transaction.

Bind terminal failure evidence to the claim owner.
terminal_failure_since accepts a failure marker from any caller. A caller can post that marker and use it to force takeover of another owner’s live claim. The same marker can later pass auto_release_dead_claims after that owner’s job terminates.
Require the marker author to match the claim owner in both call sites.

Brings in #807 (gated force-override for claim/release/done/check_merge). Conflicts were adjacent lines only (module list; done's no_pr field next to with_forced). Semantic reconciliation: - The force gate's "PR has passing CI" evidence also accepts PrCiStatus::AwaitingReview (green CI held only by a required review), which this branch split out of Passing. - promote_forced uses new mark_completed_forced: this branch gates mark_completed to started/in_review so a late finalize can't revive an item, but the audited forced promotion legitimately completes an item still in backlog whose PR is merged. It still refuses cancelled or completed items. - Upstream's item_force_tests construct Passing with this branch's head_sha field.

The branch meets every acceptance point, and I found nothing blocking.
force=truewith noforce_reason, or only whitespace, is rejected (item_force.rs:35-52).item_force.rs:183-210).dashboard/server.rs:204), and leaves the worktree alone.forceandforce_reasonwork the same way as the existingsendconvention.releasethen runs the normal worktree cleanup, which could have destroyed the dead job's work. It can't: cleanup refuses a worktree with uncommitted changes and only removes the worktree folder, never the branch or its commits (flare-git-core/src/worktree.rs:1240-1269).cargo test --bin agentflare item_forceand all 11 passed.claim_self_repair_defers_when_another_workstation_already_holds_a_live_claim). This branch doesn't touchsupervisor*. The test hardcodes the ownerflared:c997d745ae66, which supports the implementer's guess that it's an environment clash, but I haven't confirmed that on master either.check_merge force=truecan promote an item that never reached review and has no live claim, using only "the PR is merged" as the check. That goes slightly beyond the spec, but it's audited and it's exactly what incident feat(worktree): share sccache across worktrees when available (#133) #299 needed.doneruns, so it stays with the caller ifdonethen fails.<agent>:<job-id>). Session-style owners are never treated as dead, which is the conservative choice.Opened by
