What this adds

A goal tier can now say what the letter must contain, not just which topic arrived.

{ "topics": ["orders/updated"],
  "key": { "event": "id", "run": "id" },
  "where": [{ "field": "fulfillment_state", "op": "is", "value": "fulfilled" }],
  "exit_reason": "goal_met" }

Shopify fires orders/updated for every edit, including our own tag writes. Without a where, the first echo of 🔄 BUDDY-ATTEMPTED-1 ended the run. With it, the run ends only when the order is fulfilled (or paid: payload.financial_status is "paid").

  • goals[].where: the door's own condition grammar, ANDed with key. Optional; an empty where behaves exactly as on release.
  • One judge: outreach/conditions.py::conditions_match is used by the door, the live goal check (entry.py) and the walker's re-check, so they can't disagree.
  • order_tags: a derived list field in the Shopify decoder (REST comma string and GraphQL array both become single tags). It's read with the existing includes. No new type, no new operator.

The walker re-checks conditioned tiers at fire time

For a tier with a where, the walker reads the newest letter about this order (record.latest_customer_event, the same rows as customer_has_event, ORDER BY … LIMIT 1) and judges it with conditions_match. Every orders/updated carries the whole order, so the newest letter is the order's state now.

  • A paid or fulfilled letter consumed before the run existed still ends it at the first claim (canon/06-outreach.md:125: goal re-checked at fire time).
  • A newer letter that no longer matches ends nothing.
  • Tiers without a where keep the indexed EXISTS, unchanged.

What publish now refuses

  • A tier with where but no key (the newest letter could be about another order).
  • A dotted key.event (e.g. "payload.id"). Both judges read the key at the top level only, so such a tier never matched on release either. A live plan carrying one can't be re-published until fixed. Run the query in doc 21 ("What changes for an existing plan") before deploying.
  • A conditioned tier whose topic isn't in the catalog, an unknown field, a wrong op, a bad choice value.
  • includes on a list with a blank or non-text value (it could never match, so we'd keep calling).
  • A tier's where must hold on every topic it names.

Only tiers with a where are catalog-checked. A plain tier may still name any topic, as on release.

Decisions

  • "Paid or fulfilled" (MINOR 5): option (b). One tier per exit reason stays (phase 06). The workaround and its funnel cost are documented in doc 21. Raised for a corpus ruling.
  • orders/paid is declared but not relayed to Breeze Buddy shops. "Exit when paid" is orders/updated + financial_status.
  • Gather reads only goals. The pre-phase-06 goal spelling predates where, and a prod check found no stored plan with goal + where. The model still accepts goal for old versions.

Rollout

  1. Run the dotted-key query; fix any plan it returns.
  2. Deploy. Publish plans with a goal where only after every outreach pod runs this. Old code ignores where, so the tier would end runs on our own tag echo; a revert does the same.
  3. Confirm the pilot shop is relayed (CRM_EVENT_RELAY_MERCHANTS).
  4. Re-publish the pilot plan with the goal where. Runs in flight keep their pinned version.

No migration. Nautilus PR 205 (orders/updated relay) is merged.

Docs and tests

  • docs/crm/workflow-rollout/21-goal-conditions-and-tags.md
  • Worked plan docs/crm/plans/cod-confirm-exits.json (validated by test_plan_templates in CI)
  • tests/crm/test_workflow_goal_conditions.py: publish laws, live consumer, walker re-check (letter before the run, newer non-matching letter), gather, the shared evaluator.

Validate and normalize every requested tag value.

Condition accepts integers, booleans, and blank strings. At Line 128, as_tag_set(value) receives each value by itself. It rejects integers and booleans, and removes blanks. has_all and has_none then receive an empty want set and return True for every present payload.tags field.

For example, value: [1] must require tag "1", but it can instead admit every entry event or end every goal run with tags. Normalize each requested value as a one-item list. Reject list-operation values that do not normalize to a non-empty tag.

Also applies to: 128-128

2. **Nautilus needs no change.** `handleBreezeBuddyOrder` already relays
`orders/updated` verbatim (`relayOrderFact`, gated per-shop), stamped
with the edit's own `updated_at` both as `occurred_at` and as the
`externalId` revision suffix, so each edit is a distinct spine row rather
than a duplicate of the create. The payload it relays is
`savedOrder.orderData`, and `upsertOrder` does `order_data =
EXCLUDED.order_data ... RETURNING *` **before** the app handler is
dispatched — so the relayed body is the *fresh* webhook payload with the
new tags, not the stored create-time one. `orders/updated` is subscribed
declaratively in `shopify-apps/breeze-buddy/shopify.app.toml`.

Correct the Nautilus dependency statement.

This section says that Nautilus already relays orders/updated and needs no change. Lines 537-540 state that Nautilus #205 is not merged and that the relay exists only as a working-tree patch. Until #205 is deployed, orders/updated cannot reach CRM. State this prerequisite in the acceptance and rollout steps.

`GOAL_LETTER_SCAN = 50`, a module constant in `walker.py` with its reason in
the docstring. **Every plan without a `where` keeps the indexed `EXISTS`
exactly as it is** — zero regression on the existing path, and the row read
happens only for the tiers that asked for it.

The bound is honest and is stated as a limitation, not hidden: if a run
somehow accumulates more than 50 matching letters inside its own window and
the qualifying one is not among the newest 50, the walker misses it. It is
the *belt-and-suspenders* check — `entry.py` already judged that letter live
at arrival, against the full payload, with no bound.

Do not rely on a fixed 50-event scan for correctness.

If more than 50 matching-topic events occur after since, a qualifying event outside the newest 50 is never evaluated and the run remains open. Lines 354-360 identify orders/updated as high-volume, so this case is possible in normal operation. Use pagination or another evaluation-safe recovery mechanism before relying on this path.

Audit existing plans before claiming no behavior change.

The previous catalog validation did not validate goal topics, as described in Lines 287-302. An existing published definition could therefore contain an orders/updated goal without where. After this change registers and processes that topic, the unfiltered goal path can end runs on every order edit. Audit existing definitions or document an explicit compatibility rule before rollout.

Verified at 0d8227d5 (one commit, merge-base dbf32fa5 = release, merges clean; no conflict with #1129, which touches catalog_laws.py too). Locally on a worktree: tests/crm 1071 passed · pyrefly 0 · boundary guard clean · 72 migrations clean. The evaluator was driven with Shopify's REST comma string, the GraphQL array, mixed case, a substring near-miss, an absent field and an empty one; entry_against_catalog and the new goal law were driven directly.

Verdict: APPROVE, with three small things I would rather see in this PR than after it. Nothing here ships broken, and the design is the right one: the grammar learned list-shaped fields once, in one evaluator, rather than growing a tag-matching feature.

What this does, in one story. A COD plan calls the customer, the action square tags the order Buddy Confirmed, and Shopify fires orders/updated — for that tag write, and equally for a fulfilment, an address fix, a note, a refund. Today a goal on that topic ends the run on the first edit of any kind. After this, the tier can say only when the letter's tags contain Buddy Confirmed, judged by the same evaluator that judges a door's where, in both places it is asked.


🟡 MINOR — a tags field declared variable: true renders no template blank when the payload is an array.
The type's whole claim is that Shopify's comma string and a vendor's JSON array are one value to it, and for filtering that holds — I ran both through as_tag_set and they produce the identical frozenset. The variable half only reads one of them. spec_for_entry routes lists through join_list only for type == "list", so a tags field falls to the scalar branch, and isinstance(value, _SCALARS) is False for a list:

array  -> {}                                 # the blank silently vanishes
string -> {'tags': 'Buddy Confirmed, COD'}

Nothing live breaks: Shopify's own entry is REST, so it is a string. But the first vendor who registers payload.tags as tags + variable gets a message with a missing parameter and no error anywhere. Either route tags through the same joiner list uses, or refuse variable: true on tags at registration the way boolean is refused. Whichever, say it in the type's docstring, because the two halves currently promise different things.

🟡 MINOR — the 50-letter scan degrades silently.
_tier_happened fetches the newest 50 letters and evaluates them in Python. If a customer has more than 50 letters on the tier's topics since the run began and the matching one is older than the 50th, the tier never fires on the walker path and nothing says so. The reasoning for the cap is right and the live consumer is the primary judge, so this is belt-and-braces — but a full page is exactly when the belt slipped. One line: when len(letters) == GOAL_LETTER_SCAN, log a warning naming the run and the topics. Then a miss is visible instead of inferred.

🟡 MINOR — payload.tags changes type under already-published plans.
It was text (ops is / is_not / in); it is now tags (ops has_all / has_any / has_none / exists). Live evaluation is unaffected, because evaluate still runs whatever op the stored document holds. But any published plan that filters payload.tags with is or in can no longer be re-published, and the console will show its op as invalid on a document nobody edited. Same shape for the new key.event dotted-path refusal, which I think is plainly correct. Worth two lines in the PR body, and worth a query against prod before merge: any live entry.where or goal.key this refuses.

⚪ NIT — the doc's first "blocking fact" is stale. 20-goal-conditions-and-tags.md says ("shopify", "orders/updated") is not in the code catalog and every relayed one is quarantined no_handle. #1108 merged; release has _entry("orders/updated", "Order updated", _order_fields()) at extractors/shopify.py:411. True when written, not true now — and the phase file is the thing the next person reads first.

⚪ NIT — the corpus's closed type set is now two behind the code. design/event-catalog.md:102 still lists six types mapping one-to-one onto the grammar's operators; list (#1108) and tags (here) make eight. That edit is Swaroop's, not yours — cite the ruling in the body so the next reviewer does not raise it a third time.

⚪ NIT — a multi-topic tier with a where is stricter than it looks. goals_against_catalog checks every condition against every topic the tier names, so a field only one topic declares fails the whole tier. That is the honest behaviour, but it deserves a sentence in the phase file, since the natural author move is to list two topics and filter on the field one of them carries.


What this PR gets right, and it is the shape of the thing:

  • One evaluator, in its own file, with the reason for the file. conditions.py is three lines of logic and earns its existence: door admission, the live goal cancel and the walker's re-check now cannot drift, and the docstring names the drift extractors/engine.py was written to end.
  • Both sides casefolded, both shapes accepted. Shopify matches tags case-insensitively; comparing exactly would give a rule that silently never fires, and the docstring puts that in the same family as an unnormalised phone matching no suppression. Verified: Buddy Confirmed matches buddy confirmed, and Confirmed does not match Buddy Confirmed, so the comma-string reading never degrades into substring matching.
  • has_none means present-and-holds-none, not "not has_any", said out loud. An absent field returns False; an order with an empty tag string returns True. Both are right and both are easy to get backwards.
  • The refusal of a dotted key.event, because the walker compares it as payload->>$5 in SQL and a nested path would match nothing at the next claim while appearing to work live.
  • gather_catalogs reads the pre-phase-06 goal singular spelling, because it runs on the raw document before any model rewrites it, and version rows are immutable so those documents never go away.
  • The SQL does what SQL can and stops. The alternative — compiling the grammar to SQL — needs each field's catalog type and would put a second evaluator in the system; the note that the grammar still owes a compiler to phase-2 segments, and that it is not owed to this read, is the right way to leave a door open.

Verified against the branch, not the description. Consulted: release's WorkflowGoal and customer_has_event, extractors/engine.py (spec_for_entry, extract), extractors/shopify.py on release, the corpus at 133385b, and the branch run on a worktree.

This re-review replaces my approval of 9 Sep. That approval was given on 0d8227d5; this head (b396caeb) is a different design.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES. Two asks: finding 1 (the walker skip) and finding 2 (the PR body and doc 21 describe another branch). What's right: a goal tier uses the door's own condition rules, judged by one shared function (conditions_match), and Shopify tags become a list field (order_tags) with no new type or operator.

The literal answers first:

  • Exit when fulfilled: yes. Write it as orders/updated + key id + fulfillment_state is "fulfilled". fulfillment_state is our derived field. Shopify's raw field is fulfillment_status, and its null reads as "unfulfilled" (extractors/shopify.py:183-190). It does not fire on "partial".
  • Exit when paid: yes. Write it as orders/updated + payload.financial_status is "paid".
  • Our own tag echoes no longer end the run. The echoes of 🔄 BUDDY-ATTEMPTED-1 and ✅ BUDDY-CONFIRMED changed nothing. On release, the only way to write this goal is a tier with no where, and that tier ended the run on the first echo.

Earlier review points: where they stand at b396caeb

# From (on 0d8227d5) Point Now What I checked
M1 Manas 🟡 A tags field with variable: true renders no blank when the payload is an array ✅ No tags type exists now. order_tags is a derived list and is not a variable (shopify.py:383). payload.tags stays text + variable (:357).
M2 Manas 🟡 The 50-letter walker scan degrades silently N/A The scan is gone (walker.py:272-276). What replaced it is finding 1.
M3 Manas 🟡 payload.tags changes type under published plans; say so and query prod ◐ The type change is gone. But the dotted key.event refusal (catalog_laws.py:156) is new: a live plan with key.event: "payload.id" can no longer be re-published. The refusal is correct, because such a tier could never match on release either. The PR body doesn't say so, and no prod check is reported.
N1 Manas ⚪ Doc 21's first "blocking fact" is stale ❌ Still at 21-goal-conditions-and-tags.md:24-35. Release has had the entry since #1108. Folded into finding 2.
N2 Manas ⚪ The corpus type set is behind the code ✅ No new type. list = includes · exists · not exists is in the corpus (design/event-catalog.md:93).
N3 Manas ⚪ Say that a multi-topic tier's where must hold on every topic ❌ The code checks every condition against every topic (catalog_laws.py:166-179). Doc 21 has no sentence on it. One sentence is enough; it is in finding 2's fix.
CR1 CodeRabbit 🟠 has_all / has_none with an empty value set match everything ◐ The three tag ops are gone, so "matches every order" can't happen. A value that can never match still publishes (⚪ 8).
CR2 CodeRabbit 🟠 The nautilus #205 dependency is missing from the doc ◐ The dependency is met: #205 merged on 9 Sep. The doc still contradicts itself (:36 and :268 against :466-469). Folded into finding 2.
CR3 CodeRabbit 🟠 A fixed 50-event scan isn't safe N/A The scan is gone. What replaced it is finding 1.
CR4 CodeRabbit 🟠 Audit existing plans before claiming no behaviour change ❌ At run time a tier with no where behaves exactly as on release (I ran both). At publish time, two new refusals reach plans with no where: finding 4 and the dotted key (M3). So doc :389 "nothing changes for an existing plan" is not true yet.
— Rahul APPROVED, no text stale Given on 0d8227d5. reviewDecision still reads APPROVED.

End to end on real Postgres A throwaway Postgres 17 with all 84 migrations, deleted afterwards. Real publish (create_workflow → publish_workflow). Real ingest_event, then run_pass (Shopify decode, resolve(), the outreach consumer). The walker (claim_due_runs → walk_run) on real timers; wake_at was never rewritten. Payloads: the repo's orders_create.json fixture, edited the way Shopify sends orders/updated. The same run on release, for comparison.
Publish probes Real create_workflow → gather_catalogs → laws, on the PR and on release (findings 4, 5, 7, 8).
Tag truth table 12 tag shapes through conditions_match with the real derive. REST string, odd spacing and the GraphQL array all match. Lower case, a missing emoji and a longer tag don't. Blank, [], null and a missing key read as absent.
Mutations (break one app line, run all of tests/crm, restore) 17 of 18 killed. The survivor: deleting plans.py:97 (🟡 3).
Not exercised No call was placed: the square after hold was a plain wait. No action HTTP call to nautilus: the tag echoes were sent as the letters Shopify sends after our write. Nothing in prod.

The run, one order, three plans live at once. Each plan has door orders/create, key: id, where gateway is "Cash on Delivery (COD)", then hold (6 s) → watch (60 min). They differ only in the orders/updated goal tier. A has no where (the only way on release). B has fulfillment_state is "fulfilled". C has payload.financial_status is "paid". Each column is ONE run, shown after each letter.

Findings, biggest first

🟠 MAJOR 1 — app/crm/outreach/walker.py:271-276 — the walker skips every goal tier with a where, so a paid or fulfilled letter consumed before the run exists is lost, and the run goes on to call.

The problem. The walker re-checks every goal before it acts. This PR makes it skip any tier that has a where. That leaves the live consumer as the only judge. The live consumer only judges runs that already exist when the letter is processed.

for tier in definition.goal_tiers():
    if tier.where:
        # Judged live only, against the letter in hand (entry.py) ...
        continue

What happens. One customer, one order:

  1. Priya places COD order fix(voice): Daily initial greeting — wrong pipeline entry point and timing #1043 on breeze-buddy-cod at 10:00. Shopify sends orders/create.
  2. The create letter's consume fails once. It stays pending, and the worker moves on to the next row (record/workers.py:52-58). Shopify can also deliver the two letters out of order. Its webhook docs say it doesn't guarantee order across topics for the same resource.
  3. Priya pays online. At 10:02 the orders/updated letter with financial_status: "paid" is consumed. No run exists for fix(voice): Daily initial greeting — wrong pipeline entry point and timing #1043 yet, so nothing is ended.
  4. At 10:05 the create letter is retried and consumed. The run starts on hold.
  5. hold's timer fires and the walker claims the run. It skips the tier payload.financial_status is "paid". The run walks on to the call square. We call Priya to confirm an order she has already paid for.
  6. On release, this goal could only be written with no where. There, the walker's EXISTS finds the 10:02 letter and ends the run goal_met.

The same happens with fulfillment_state is "fulfilled". It is deterministic once the letters are consumed in that order.

What still works. If the run already exists, the live consumer ends it. That holds even while the walker holds the run: cancel_run doesn't wait for the walker's lease, and the walker then defers. I ran this case too.

The skip is on purpose. test_a_tier_with_conditions_is_never_ended_by_the_walker (test file :382) pins it. Doc 21 Part 5 (:189-224) records it as a local "Decision". Its reasons ("a failed consume is retried") cover the goal letter's own failure. They don't cover a founding letter that is consumed late.

Law:

  • canon/06-outreach.md:125-126: "goal checks are re-evaluated at fire time (never send "did you forget?" to someone who just paid)."
  • modules/05-outreach.md:46: "Goal re-checked AT FIRE TIME (never "did you forget?" to someone who just paid);"
  • Also canon/07-wiring.md:42-43 ("walker claims at wake … → re-check the goal at fire time → gate → send") and modules/00-module-rules.md:105-106 ("Consumers must be order-tolerant (no ordering guarantee exists)").
  • No corpus ruling allows a live-only goal. CLAUDE.md: "the corpus wins on any conflict."

Why it matters. This is the exact case the law names: a "did you forget?" call to someone who just paid. The likelihood is low for COD order confirmation, because paid and fulfilled usually arrive hours or days after create. It is higher for tags that other apps write at order creation. It is still a law break, and the test makes it look intended.

Fix:

  1. Add a record contract next to customer_has_event (record/events.py:16): latest_customer_event(merchant_id, customer_id, topics, since, where). It uses the same WHERE as customer_has_event_query (record/db/queries.py:134), plus ORDER BY occurred_at DESC LIMIT 1. It returns one RawEvent.
  2. In _advance, judge a where-tier on that one letter, with the same function the live consumer uses:
    for tier in definition.goal_tiers():
        where = ...  # the key block, unchanged
        if tier.where:
            letter = await latest_customer_event(
                run.merchant_id, str(run.customer_id), tier.topics, since, where
            )
            hit = letter is not None and conditions_match(tier.where, letter)
        else:
            hit = await customer_has_event(
                run.merchant_id, str(run.customer_id), tier.topics, since, where
            )
  3. Why the newest letter is enough: every orders/updated carries the whole order. So the newest letter about this order is the order's state now. That is one row per where-tier per claim, not the many-payload read doc 21 rejected (:210-213).
  4. An unkeyed where-tier could read a letter about another order. The simplest answer: require key on a where-tier at publish.
  5. Flip test_a_tier_with_conditions_is_never_ended_by_the_walker. Add two red tests. A paid letter stored before the run exists → the first claim exits goal_met. A newer letter that no longer matches → no exit.

If you'd rather keep "live only", get canon/06-outreach.md:125 and modules/05-outreach.md:46 amended first, and cite the ruling in Part 5.

Evidence. Order 5201000002 on the throwaway DB, real timers. The fulfilled + paid letter was consumed before the create.

Step A (no where) B (fulfilled) C (paid)
orders/updated (fulfilled + paid) consumed first no run no run no run
orders/create consumed waiting · hold waiting · hold waiting · hold
walker claim after hold's timer exited · goal_met waiting · watch (walked on) waiting · watch (walked on)

Mutation: changing if tier.where: to if False and tier.where: turns exactly that one test red.

🟠 MAJOR 2 — PR body + docs/crm/workflow-rollout/21-goal-conditions-and-tags.md — both describe a different branch.

The problem. The PR body is CodeRabbit's summary of the September head. Doc 21 is mostly the 9 Sep design. A reader of either would approve a design that isn't here.

Where Says The branch at b396caeb
PR body "tag-based filtering with has_all, has_any, and has_none operators" None of the three exists in app/ or tests/. Doc :477 itself says they are gone.
PR body "Goal evaluation now rechecks matching events before completing a workflow" The opposite. The walker skips where-tiers (walker.py:272), and a test pins the skip.
doc :3 Touches shared/predicate.py, record/{schemas,catalog,contracts,db} None of these is touched. The diff touches outreach/{catalog_laws,conditions,entry,plans,schemas,walker}.py and record/extractors/shopify.py.
doc :24-35 orders/updated is not in the code catalog, so every relayed one is quarantined On release since #1108 (extractors/shopify.py:411 on release).
doc :36, :268 vs :466-469 "Nautilus needs no change" vs "Still blocked on nautilus #205" #205 merged on 9 Sep. The doc contradicts itself.
doc :79-91, :355-357 goal_tiers() sorts tiers with a where first Not built. schemas.py:599-605 is keyed-first only. The test at :107-119 says a where "does not reorder it".
doc :126-127, :361-362, :443-446 payload.id is accepted and stripped to id via WorkflowGoalKey.event_field Refused ("must be a top-level payload field", catalog_laws.py:156). event_field doesn't exist. The test at :122 pins the refusal.
doc :171-187, :342-353 This PR adds the orders/updated entry, its fixture and decode tests; "Every one fails on release" All already on release. None is in this diff.
doc :389 "nothing changes for an existing plan" Two new publish refusals reach plans with no where: finding 4 and the dotted key.
doc :447-451, :456, :460-464 orders_updated_shipping.json, OPS_BY_TYPE extended with tags, 2544 tests, two named walker tests None of these exists.
conditions.py:3-5, entry.py:482-484 The walker's goal re-check uses conditions_match The walker never imports it. It skips these tiers.
catalog_laws.py:157-159 (and test docstring :123-125) "A nested path would work at the live consumer" False. entry.py:205 is event.payload.get(tier.key.event): top level only.

What does match the code: Part 5 (:189-224) describes the walker skip accurately. "Port onto release (21 Oct)" (:473-487) matches too.

Why it matters. The body is what reviewers approve. Two code comments tell the next maintainer that the walker still re-checks these goals, which is the law in finding 1. They would believe the law holds when it doesn't.

Law: CLAUDE.md, Working practices: "Every law change is a triple in one commit: docs text + CI rule + a red test proving the rule fires." Here the docs text says the opposite of the rule for payload.id. Precedent: #1183, where a phase doc describing a different mechanism was a MAJOR.

Fix:

  1. Write the PR body by hand from the branch. Say what it adds: goals[].where, order_tags, the goal catalog laws, and the walker change (or the fix from finding 1). Say what it refuses: a dotted key.event. Say what changes at publish for plans with no where.
  2. In doc 21, delete "As built (9 Sep)" or mark it superseded at its top.
  3. Fix :3. Drop the two "blocking facts". Correct Part 1 (no sort; payload.id is refused), Part 4 and Red tests (already on release), and Rollout :389.
  4. Fix the nautilus lines.
  5. Add the one sentence from N3: a multi-topic tier's where must hold on every topic it names.
  6. Fix the three code comments.

🟡 MINOR 3 — app/crm/outreach/plans.py:97 — no test proves publish runs the new goal check.

The problem. This is the one line that wires the goal laws into publish:

problems.extend(goals_against_catalog(definition, catalogs))

Delete it, and all 1609 tests stay green. It is the only surviving mutation of 18. Every new law test calls goals_against_catalog directly. test_the_shipped_confirmation_plan_passes_every_law asserts == [], which also passes when nothing is checked.

Why it matters. A later refactor can drop this line, and publish then accepts any goal condition again. Nothing would go red.

Law: CLAUDE.md: "a red test proving the rule fires."

Fix: add one test through the publish validator:

def test_publish_refuses_a_goal_condition_the_catalog_cannot_answer() -> None:
    bad = {**_PLAN, "goals": [{**_TAG_GOAL, "where": [
        {"field": "payload.tags", "op": "includes", "value": CONFIRMED}]}]}
    assert any("is not an op" in p for p in validate_definition(bad, catalogs=_catalogs()))

Evidence: with plans.py:97 deleted, pytest tests/crm exits 0 with 1609 passed.

🟡 MINOR 4 — app/crm/outreach/catalog_laws.py:294-301 — publish now refuses a plain goal tier that release accepts.

The problem. The gather now reads the catalog for every goal topic, with or without a where. A topic that two sources declare raises AmbiguousTopic, and the whole plan is refused.

for tier in raw.get("goals") or ([raw["goal"]] if raw.get("goal") else []):
    if isinstance(tier, dict):
        topics.update(str(t) for t in tier.get("topics") or [] if t)

What happens:

  1. A merchant registers a schema for (custom, orders/create). Registration allows it. validate_registration refuses only the same (source, topic) as the code layer (record/catalog.py:188).
  2. The merchant runs cart recovery: door checkouts/create, plain goal orders/create, no where.
  3. On release, the plan publishes.
  4. On this PR, create_workflow, update_draft, publish_workflow and check_draft all refuse it: "topic 'orders/create' is declared by more than one source (shopify, custom) — a door names the topic alone, so the plan cannot say which letter it means". The legacy goal spelling is refused the same way.

The refusal protects nothing here. Neither goal judge reads the source: entry.py:202 picks tiers by topic, and the SQL is topic = ANY($3). Nothing reads a plain tier's field map either (catalog_laws.py:164).

Law: general correctness. It is a regression against release, and it contradicts the function's own docstring (catalog_laws.py:148-150): "A tier WITHOUT a where is unchanged — it may name any topic, declared or not."

Fix: gather only tiers that have a where. At :300:

if isinstance(tier, dict) and tier.get("where"):

That also saves one catalog read per plain tier. The likelihood is low: it needs a merchant to register a Shopify topic under another source.

Evidence: publish probe, PR vs release, in both the goals and the legacy goal spelling. PR: REFUSED. Release: ACCEPTED.

🟡 MINOR 5 — app/crm/outreach/plans.py:155-168 — "exit when paid OR fulfilled" can't both end as goal_met.

The problem. A where is ANDed. Paid and fulfilled are two different fields, so "paid or fulfilled" needs two tiers. The code allows only one tier per exit reason. I ran it:

goal tier 1: exit_reason 'goal_met' is already used by an earlier tier — one tier per reason

This rule is already on release (phase 06), and release refuses the same plan. This PR doesn't add it. This PR is where it starts to matter, because now two goal_met tiers can say two different things.

What happens. The workaround labels the paid tier converted_elsewhere. Publish accepts that. But converted_elsewhere means "any other order by the customer" (canon/06-outreach.md:144). Say Priya's COD order #1043 is converted to prepaid. She pays, and it isn't shipped yet. The fulfilled tier hasn't fired. The paid tier ends her run as "converted elsewhere", and the funnel counts it as a different order.

Law: canon/06-outreach.md:144 (what each reason means). The corpus is silent on "one tier per reason": a grep for it returns nothing. It is a code rule from phase 06.

Fix, pick one and say which:

  • (a) Allow a repeated reason when the tiers differ by where. The code comment's reason ("could never be told apart") was about tiers that differed only by topic. context.goal already records the letter's topic and event id.
  • (b) Keep the rule. Document the workaround and its funnel cost in doc 21.

🟡 MINOR 6 — no worked plan JSON under docs/crm/plans/.

The problem. This PR adds plan vocabulary (goals[].where). No plan in docs/crm/plans/ uses it. So test_every_plan_template_validates never runs a where-tier through every law in CI. Our team convention (since 10 Sep) is that every CRM PR that touches the plan document ships a worked plan JSON. It is not in CLAUDE.md or CI.

Doc 21's own example (:307-330) teaches the wrong goal. Its tag_it square writes "Buddy Confirmed", and its goal is order_tags includes "Buddy Confirmed". So the run ends on the echo of our own tag write. The Shopify migration needs the opposite: end on fulfilled or paid.

Fix:

  1. Put the fulfilled exit in docs/crm/plans/cod-confirm.json, or add a new cod-confirm-exits.json. Note: cod-confirm.json's only goal today is orders/cancelled → goal_met. Because of one tier per reason (🟡 5), that tier moves to withdrawn.
  2. Add or update its row in docs/crm/plans/README.md.
  3. In tests/crm/test_plan_templates.py: add the path constant, add it to test_the_expected_documents_exist, and add one test that names what it proves.
  4. Change doc 21's example goal to fulfilled or paid.

⚪ NIT 7 — a goal on orders/paid publishes, but never fires for Breeze Buddy shops.

The catalog declares orders/paid (extractors/shopify.py:425), so publish accepts a goal on it. Nautilus never relays orders/paid (see "For the Shopify migration"). An author who writes "exit when paid" the obvious way gets a goal that never fires. The paid customer keeps getting calls.

This is not new. Release accepts it too, and five shipped cart-recovery*.json plans already list orders/paid. That is harmless there, because they also list orders/create. What is new: this PR's test (:102, :429) and doc (:13) use orders/paid as the example goal topic.

Fix:

  1. In doc 21, say "exit when paid" is orders/updated + payload.financial_status is "paid", and that orders/paid is not relayed today.
  2. Change the test's example topic to orders/cancelled.
  3. Doc :422-425 already notes that goalable has no reader. That reader could refuse this at publish.

⚪ NIT 8 — small tidy-ups

  • Values that publish and can never match. includes "", includes " " and includes 1 on order_tags are all accepted. order_tags holds trimmed, non-blank strings, and the number 1 never equals the tag "1" (tags "1, 2" → no match). For a goal, a tier that never fires means we keep calling. In condition_against_catalog, refuse a blank or non-text includes value on a list of text.
  • The dotted-key law sits behind the catalog check. if catalogs is None: return [] (catalog_laws.py:152) comes before the dotted key.event check (:156), which needs no catalog. validate_definition(d, catalogs=None) with key.event: "payload.id" returns []. All 4 app callers pass catalogs, so only pure and test callers miss it. Move the check above the early return.
  • Test file. A stray section header at :437-438 ("a call's own facts reach the square after it …") sits over a gather test. The module docstring at :12-13 says "the WALKER's re-check declines it too"; the walker skips the tier. Function-level imports at :390, :417 and :448; top of file is preferred.

⚪ NIT 9 (new in this pass) — release silently drops goal.where.

Release's WorkflowGoal has no where field, and the model ignores the extra key. I published plans B and C on release and sent our tag echo. Both exited goal_met on 🔄 BUDDY-ATTEMPTED-1.

The stored document keeps the where, so it works again once this PR is deployed. But two cases bring back "ends on our own tag echo": a revert of this PR, or a pod still on old code during a rolling deploy. We call no one we shouldn't. We stop calling people we should.

Fix: one line in doc 21's Rollout: "Publish where-plans only after every outreach pod runs #1126. A revert silently widens them."


Merge order

For the Shopify migration

  • Nautilus relays only orders/create, orders/updated, orders/cancelled and checkouts/update (crm-events.ts:20). Of the order topics, the Breeze Buddy app subscribes only to orders/create, orders/updated and orders/cancelled (shopify.app.toml:18-28). There is no orders/paid, orders/fulfilled or fulfillments/* topic. ORDERS_PAID and ORDERS_FULFILLED exist only as unused constants (webhooks.ts:119-120).
  • orders/updated goes only to shops in CRM_EVENT_RELAY_MERCHANTS (or *). Unset means no shop.
  • So COD confirmation goals must be written on orders/updated with conditions. The door needs key: "id", so the run's context carries the order id and run: "id" resolves (doc :332-334):
    "goals": [
      { "topics": ["orders/updated"],
        "key": { "event": "id", "run": "id" },
        "where": [{ "field": "fulfillment_state", "op": "is", "value": "fulfilled" }],
        "exit_reason": "goal_met" },
      { "topics": ["orders/cancelled"], "exit_reason": "withdrawn" }
    ]
  • "Exit when paid" is the same tier with payload.financial_status is "paid". Until 🟡 5 is decided, it can't sit beside the fulfilled tier as a second goal_met.
  • With nautilus Adding pagination feature in listOffers tool #215, a relayed shop's orders/create gets no legacy lead. The CRM plan is then the only thing deciding whether to call. Finding 1 and NIT 7 then reach customers directly.

For Swaroop (corpus rulings)

  1. Walker skip vs the fire-time re-check law (finding 1). canon/06-outreach.md:125-126 and modules/05-outreach.md:46 say the goal is re-checked at fire time, with no exception. This PR judges where-tiers live only. Either the walker reads the newest matching letter, or the corpus gets a ruling for live-only.
  2. One tier per exit reason (🟡 5). The corpus is silent; it is a phase-06 code rule. With where, two goal_met tiers are now two different sentences ("fulfilled", "paid").
  3. Smaller: T19 (canon/06-outreach.md:80) lists a tier as {topics, key?: {event, run}, exit_reason}. It needs where?.

What this PR does well

  • One evaluator for doors and goals. conditions.py::conditions_match is the only judge. _where_matches now calls it, so a door and a goal can't mean different things by the same condition. The door tests still kill the mutation that breaks it.
  • Tags as a derived list, not a new type or operator. order_tags sits in the Shopify decoder next to fulfillment_state, and the corpus's own includes reads it. This one move retired three earlier findings: the empty-set widening, the variable gap and the type-set drift.
  • Not trusting a blind EXISTS. The walker refuses to judge a where-tier with a query that can't see the payload, because that query would end the run on any edit. The instinct is right. Only the replacement read is missing.
  • Publish fails closed, with sentences an author can act on. It refuses an undeclared topic, an unknown field, a wrong op, a bad choice value and a nested key.
  • Reads both goal spellings in gather_catalogs. Version rows are immutable, so pre-phase-06 goal documents never go away.
  • Tests named as business sentences. The shipping-edit test is the feature in one assertion.
