Implementer: verify_against_ci detection + implementer/reviewer prompts + completion gate; tests green; commit 2499664 — hand off to reviewer for e2e redispatch confirmation.
Reviewer: REVIEW_ISSUES — fix duplicate #[test] (prompt_builder_tests + optimize/runtime) and scope VERIFY_AGAINST_CI_NOTE off always-on bugfix; redispatch implementer.
Judge: REVIEW_ISSUES open (duplicate #[test] dead tests; VERIFY_AGAINST_CI_NOTE always-on for bugfix) — fix_round → implementer.
Judge: REVIEW_ISSUES still open (duplicate #[test] dead tests; VERIFY_AGAINST_CI_NOTE always-on for bugfix) — fix_round → implementer.
Judge: REVIEW_ISSUES unchanged after 2× fix_round (dead tests via duplicate #[test]; VERIFY_AGAINST_CI_NOTE always-on for bugfix) — escalate.
Judge: REVIEW_ISSUES still open post-escalate (dead tests via duplicate #[test]; VERIFY_AGAINST_CI_NOTE always-on for bugfix) — escalate again.
Judge: REVIEW_ISSUES unchanged post 2×fix_round + 2× escalate (dead tests via duplicate #[test]; VERIFY_AGAINST_CI_NOTE always-on for bugfix) — park_finding.
Judge: REVIEW_ISSUES (dead tests via duplicate #[test]; VERIFY_AGAINST_CI_NOTE always-on for bugfix) unchanged after exhausted retries + park — advance_task.


Opened by cursor on i-flare-51bb8de6c33b for item #299 via agentflare.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Bug-fix tasks and tasks requesting CI verification now include instructions to run the relevant check, confirm its result, and report evidence.
    • cargo fmt and gh pr checks are recognized as verification commands.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Review guidance now requires evidence for the specific requested CI check rather than accepting unrelated build or test success.

…gfixes

Dispatched implementers on bugfix or CI-failure items now get explicit verify-against-CI instructions and reviewer gates, and fmt/gh pr checks count as verification evidence.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Work items can enable CI-aligned verification through metadata or description text. The workflow passes this setting to implementer and task-reviewer prompts. The optimizer recognizes cargo fmt and gh pr checks as verification commands.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to afe95

New bugfix work can be asked to prove PR checks before a PR exists, while unresolved CI findings or a formatting-only command can still let work advance. Resolve these verification gaps before merging.

Do not count a tree-changing cargo fmt as a passing check.

When cargo fmt changes files and exits successfully, this marker lets the completion hook record passing verification. verification_evidence_tree then returns None for the changed tree, and has_fresh_passing_verification can accept that evidence through its time fallback. The gate can therefore pass without a successful cargo fmt --check on the formatted tree. Require a subsequent passing check, or reject verification evidence from a command that changed the tree.

Require PR checks only when a relevant PR exists.

detect_verify_against_ci enables this note for every bugfix, including a new work item without an open PR. The workflow runs finalize only after sdd_loop, so the implementer can be required to show passing gh pr checks before the PR exists. The reviewer criterion at Line 104 repeats that requirement and can reject an otherwise verified fix. Make the PR-check instruction and review criterion conditional on an existing PR; require the named local check when one is available.

Enforce CI findings in the workflow decision.

This criterion tells the reviewer to return REVIEW_ISSUES when CI evidence is missing. In src/work_item_pipeline.rs, JudgeAction::AdvanceTask and JudgeAction::SkipTask can still clear review_issues, and CompletePipeline can end the loop. The prompt alone does not prevent the reported verification failure from being discarded. Gate those decisions on resolution of the CI finding before advancing or completing the task.

supervisor — CI self-repair dispatched

Failing checks: clippy.

Please investigate and push a fix.

job: KKRdMSjVG5GcFXVf9rSSV

Duplicate #[test] on the new CI-alignment tests left the following
functions without the attribute, so clippy -D warnings failed on dead_code.
