Operators had to paste a role prompt into a terminal to start work, and
nothing enforced that the allocator had been consulted first, so two sessions
could reach for the same issue and each believe it was theirs. This adds a
request surface: a desired role, an issue or PR, and a stated intent, answered
by an authorization decision and - on confirmation - an exclusive assignment
from the allocator.
Preview (POST /api/v1/requests/preview, and the /requests form) runs five
checks and reports authorize/deny with a reason for each: console
authorization, capability resolution for the desired role, lease availability,
whether the allocator would independently select this work unit, and head
pinning for PR work. It is read-only - it calls the allocator with apply=false
and writes only an audit line. An unauthorized principal never reaches the
allocator or the control-plane DB, so a denial cannot enumerate the queue.
Initiation (POST /api/v1/requests/apply) never assigns the requested item
directly. It runs a dry-run first and proceeds only when the allocator would
independently pick that exact work unit, carrying the dry-run's
candidate_set_fingerprint as a CAS pin; otherwise it returns wait or blocked
and mutates nothing. An active claim on the work unit rejects a duplicate
assign before one is attempted. A returned assignment carries a handoff block
naming the required profile, namespace, and the actions that stay forbidden.
Authorization reuses the #633 model rather than adding a second one. The new
initiate_workflow action is operator-class because its outcome is a claim, not
a Gitea verdict: requesting reviewer or merger work reserves that work but
grants no right to approve or merge. Execution is gated by a new per-action
execution_env_flag (WEBUI_REQUESTS_EXECUTION), deliberately in place of raising
ACTIVE_PHASE - a phase bump would enable execution for every phase-2 action at
once, including ones whose execution path is not implemented. Actions that
declare no flag are unchanged and still report execution_enabled false.
Every preview and apply emits a console audit record correlated to the
resulting assignment by correlation.request_id.
Fail-closed throughout: an unreadable control-plane DB, an incomplete queue
inventory (#758), an allocator that raises, an unpinned PR head, a moved PR
head, and an unconfirmed apply all deny without mutating.

Address PR #885 REQUEST_CHANGES: full head_sha pins from queue signals,
reviewer leases keyed by pr_number only, claim inventory via entries,
live-path fixture tests, and traffic state vocabulary docs.
Closes#640 (re-review at new head)

Adds the session_checkpoints section to the control-plane DB substrate
architecture doc: schema version and row identity, the column groups, the
public API surface, and the hard rules (redaction at write, reconcile
rather than blind restore, unknown live state is not a mismatch, drain
fails closed on an incomplete checkpoint, no transcript storage).
Satisfies acceptance criterion 1 of #660 ("Schema documented and
versioned") for the implementation added in 7e18dcc.

Add pure post_restart_reconcile.reconcile_after_restart classifier with a
machine-readable completion proof covering service health, sessions, leases,
capabilities, worktrees, interrupted mutations (never auto-resumed),
duplicates, and queue state. Soft-depends on #660 checkpoints (skipped with
reason when the schema module is absent).
Wire read-only MCP tool gitea_reconcile_after_restart, boot-once hook via
gitea_assess_master_parity, log_only/enforce modes (mutation_hold), and docs.
Closes#662

Child of umbrella #655 (governed MCP restart coordination); builds on the
#657 restart-path inventory. Adds a central coordinator that evaluates live
control-plane state before a restart and returns a blast-radius impact
preview, so operators and the web console (#642/#652) can see what a restart
would disrupt before concurrent LLM work is destroyed.
Changes
- restart_coordinator.py (new) — pure classification: inventory -> impact
report DTO (RestartImpactReport/SessionImpact/LeaseImpact). Verdicts:
safe / unsafe / override. Never restarts anything; fails closed on an
incomplete inventory.
- control_plane_db.py — additive ControlPlaneDB.list_sessions() read-only
session inventory (the process-level unit a restart kills).
- gitea_mcp_server.py — new dry-run MCP tool gitea_request_mcp_restart:
gathers sessions/leases/terminal-lock from the #613 DB, calls the
coordinator, returns the report. Override authority is read from the
environment, never self-asserted (#630/#710 F1 pattern). Apply is gated
by a later drain proof (non-goal here).
- docs/mcp-restart-coordinator.md + docs/mcp-restart-impact-sample.json — doc
and a real dry-run sample report.
- docs/mcp-tool-inventory.md — register the new tool (inventory sync).
- tests/test_restart_coordinator.py (new) — 15 tests: multi-session fixtures,
deny-when-critical-section-open, fail-closed deny, override, terminal lock,
stale heartbeat, JSON-serializable DTO, list_sessions.
Tests: pytest tests/test_restart_coordinator.py -> 15 passed. Full suite:
13 failed / 4753 passed; all 13 reproduce identically on clean master
@ef14622 (0 regressions). The residual test_issue_781 doc-registry failure
is a pre-existing baseline gap for gitea_rebind_dirty_same_claimant_author_session
(merged #864, undocumented on master) — out of scope for #658.

Adds a gated `system.restart_namespace` action so operators and workers can
restart or gracefully reload MCP namespaces through an authorized, audited
path instead of manual host process killing (#630).
- webui/sanctioned_restart.py: restart/reload operation model, dry-run
intent preview, confirmation-string enforcement, audit emission, and
post-restart health verification. Fails closed on unknown auth, missing
capability, or ambiguous target namespace.
- webui/console_authz.py: RBAC entries for the restart capability with
secret redaction preserved.
- webui/gated_actions.py: registers the restart action in the gated action
framework so it cannot be invoked without capability + confirmation.
- task_capability_map.py: capability mapping for the restart operation.
- docs/sanctioned-restart-controls.md: operator documentation for the
sanctioned path and the explicit prohibition on pkill recovery.
- docs/webui-authz-audit.md: audit model updated for restart events.
- tests/test_webui_sanctioned_restart.py: authorized preview, unauthorized
deny, confirmation enforcement, contamination classification, and audit
emission coverage.
No unrestricted kill path is exposed; manual pkill remains classified as
contamination and continues to block clean claims.

Resolve the #638 shell landing against the #639 dashboard:
- webui/layout.py: drop the flat NAV_ITEMS tuple in favor of master's
grouped NAV_GROUPS nav-config module.
- webui/nav.py: register /system-health as a live item in the Health
group, satisfying issue #639 AC5 through the canonical nav source.
- docs/webui-local-dev.md: keep both additive sections (#638 shell and
#639 dashboard).
- tests/test_webui_system_health_dashboard.py: assert the nav entry via
iter_nav_items() instead of the removed NAV_ITEMS tuple.

The Related section and cross-reference lines described #652, #653, #630, #642,
and #591 by roles they do not hold. Align each description with the linked
issue's actual title and scope:
- #652 is the Control Plane Web Console product vision (restart controls live in
its capability area A), not a restart-specific vision.
- #653 is the console phased-delivery roadmap; restart controls are Phase 2.
- #630 is the manual process-kill contamination guard, not the coordinator; the
coordinator remains an unimplemented later child of #655.
- #642 is the sanctioned restart / graceful reload console UX.
- #591 is auto-restart on master advance (closed); only #584 is transport-flap
reconnect. They were previously collapsed into one transport-recovery label.
Documentation-only wording change. Policy IDs RG-01..RG-08, the policy version
restart-governance/v1, the authorization matrix, and every normative statement
are unchanged.

Adds docs/architecture/mcp-restart-governance.md, the restart-governance/v1 ADR
defining who may restart the MCP control plane and under what conditions.
- Recovery ladder (reconnect -> rebind -> scoped restart -> full restart -> host)
with restart stated as the last resort.
- Authorization matrix across author/reviewer/merger/reconciler/controller/
operator/admin; no LLM worker role may perform or authorize a full or host
restart.
- v1 authority decision recorded: controller approval + automated safety gates;
quorum deferred to a superseding ADR.
- Break-glass path with pre-declared incident and mandatory post-hoc audit.
- Ambiguous policy state denies restart.
- Stable policy IDs RG-01..RG-08 for later enforcement code to bind to.
Cross-links the ADR from docs/safety-model.md and docs/webui-deployment.md, and
adds tests/test_mcp_restart_governance_docs.py asserting acceptance criteria 1-5.
