Context

Part of the LLM coordination failure series (sessions stepping on each other). This is a focused implementation issue, not an umbrella.

Related sibling: #600 (work allocator). Overlaps partially with open #599 (foreign-session resolution path) — implement or extend without duplicating ownership; prefer canonical lease lifecycle here and keep #599 scoped to handoff exposure if still open.

Problem

Reviewer/author/merger leases exist, but sessions still get blocked by foreign active leases with no clear safe path except waiting. Old prompts can reference released lease IDs, while newer active leases silently supersede them.

Required behavior

  • Add/extend tools to inspect lease state by issue/PR and role.
  • Tool output must identify owner session, PID if known, phase, candidate head, target branch SHA, expiry, heartbeat freshness, associated worktree, and safe next action.
  • Add canonical paths for:
    • owner resumes
    • active foreign session blocks
    • expired lease cleanup
    • operator-authorized abandoned lease release
    • stale prompt lease replacement
  • Force deletion, raw API bypass, mtime manipulation, and manual state edits remain forbidden.

Acceptance criteria

  1. A session cannot submit review/merge/author mutations without owning a valid lease.
  2. Expired leases can be cleared only through sanctioned tools.
  3. Active foreign leases return a precise wait/resume/release decision.
  4. Stale lease IDs in prompts are detected and reported as stale, not adopted blindly.
  5. Worktree-binding mismatch is detected before validation or mutation.
  6. Regression test uses PR #592-style replacement lease behavior.

Implementation notes

  • Fail closed on ambiguous ownership.
  • Do not invent operator release authority in agent sessions.

WHO_IS_NEXT: author
NEXT_ACTION: implement idempotent merger lease adoption and clear supersession of prior adoption comments when re-adopting after MCP restart
NEXT_PROMPT:

Implement #601 on Scaled-Tech-Consulting/Gitea-Tools: make lease adopt/release/expire/abandon first-class. Include PR #587 evidence: repeated adoption comments #9079/#9081/#9083 after MCP restart; make adoption idempotent; identify canonical adoption comment; ensure post-merge moot multi-marker cleanup path. Prefer #601 over closed #599 for lifecycle work.

WHAT_HAPPENED: Evidence-only comment. During merged PR #587 (head ebd06b73c9, merge ae6a3ae00c), prgs-merger/sysadmin re-adopted leases after MCP restarts and root-guard cleanup: adoption comments #9079 (from reviewer session 90865-review-587), #9081, #9083. Canonical for successful merge: lease_proof_comment_id #9083 (sanctioned_adoption). Duplicate search: #599 closed (foreign handoff); open #601 owns adopt lifecycle; no separate open issue for adoption-noise. No new issue created.
WHY: Non-idempotent re-adopt after process death appends multiple phase:adopted markers, creating ledger noise and ambiguous canonical adoption. Desired: idempotent or clear supersede; reports/assess tools name canonical adoption comment id; post-merge multi-marker moot cleanup (extend #515 if needed).

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] PR #625 / Issue #601 — MERGED to master; issue auto-closed; residual label reconciliation for controller/reconciler

What is true now:

  • PR state: closed and merged
  • Issue state: closed (#601), auto-closed by "Closes #601"
  • Current head SHA: 1be4600261
  • Previous REQUEST_CHANGES head: 780ef0b1be (dismissed and stale)
  • Merge commit SHA: 5347b313ea
  • prgs/master HEAD after merge: 5347b313ea
  • Server-side decision state: reviewer server-side review verdict is current and non-blocking at head SHA 1be4600261 (approval_visible=true, approval_at_current_head=true, has_blocking_change_requests=false, review_feedback_stale=false); prior REQUEST_CHANGES verdict at 780ef0b is dismissed and stale; PR #625 merged via merge commit; issue #601 closed by the merge
  • Local verdict/state: merger post-merge verification complete; merge commit 5347b31 present on prgs/master; head SHA 1be4600261 reachable from prgs/master (git merge-base --is-ancestor); merger worktree branches/merge-control clean; root checkout clean
  • Latest known validation: reviewer-reported targeted suite 79 passed; git diff --check prgs/master...HEAD clean at review time; merge eligibility eligible=true; merge performed=true
  • Residual: issue #601 still carries stale label status:pr-open (should be reconciled to merged/closed hygiene)
  • #600 / #612 / #613 remain closed; no other issue or PR selected or modified

What changed:

  • Adopted reviewer PR lease into merger role via sanctioned path (adoption comment 9445), from reviewer session 62699-c2ed89d8b3ff
  • Merged PR #625 at pinned head SHA 1be4600261 via merge commit 5347b31
  • Issue #601 auto-closed by the merge

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: no blocker

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: controller / reconciler
  • Required action: reconcile stale status:pr-open label on now-closed #601 and record final acceptance (label hygiene only; code and issue closure already landed)
  • Do not do: do not reopen #601/#600/#612/#613; do not re-merge; do not create a replacement PR; do not select another issue

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
merged-complete

WHO_IS_NEXT:
controller

NEXT_ACTION:
Reconcile Issue #601 post-merge label state (drop stale status:pr-open) and record final acceptance; the merge itself is complete and verified.

NEXT_PROMPT:

You are the RECONCILER/CONTROLLER session for Scaled-Tech-Consulting/Gitea-Tools on remote prgs.

Task: Finalize post-merge state for Issue #601 / PR #625. Do not merge, reopen, or select any other issue.

Live facts (verify from Gitea/Git before mutating):
- PR #625: closed and merged; merge_commit_sha 5347b313ea4ac5a1d265b42de653e91e2b0bdcb6; merged head SHA 1be460026110f69f51f6578a34c87efc8bdfa83d.
- prgs/master HEAD: 5347b313ea4ac5a1d265b42de653e91e2b0bdcb6; head SHA 1be460026110f69f51f6578a34c87efc8bdfa83d reachable from master.
- Issue #601: already closed by "Closes #601"; still carries stale label status:pr-open.
- #600 / #612 / #613 remain closed.

Required:
1. Activate prgs-reconciler; confirm identity and runtime freshness.
2. Verify PR #625 merged and Issue #601 closed from live Gitea state.
3. Reconcile Issue #601 label set: remove status:pr-open (apply merged/closed hygiene per label convention). Use gitea_set_issue_labels (replaces the full set).
4. Post a reconciliation ledger comment confirming final state.
5. Do not reopen anything; do not merge; do not touch other issues/PRs.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Merger session verified live PR/issue state, confirmed the reviewer's server-side review verdict is current and non-blocking at head SHA 1be4600261 (== live head; approval_visible=true; prior REQUEST_CHANGES at 780ef0b dismissed and stale), confirmed the reviewing actor (prgs-reviewer sysadmin) is not the PR author (jcwalker3), adopted the reviewer lease into merger role via the sanctioned path (comment 9445), passed merge eligibility, and merged PR #625 via a merge commit. Post-merge verification confirmed PR closed and merged, merge commit 5347b31 on prgs/master, head SHA 1be4600261 reachable, and Issue #601 auto-closed. Merger and root worktrees remain clean.

WHY:
All live-state, review-verdict parity, capability, lease, workspace, and merge-eligibility gates passed at the pinned head SHA 1be4600261. Issue #601 auto-closed via the Closes directive, so the merge objective is complete; the only residual is cosmetic label reconciliation, which is reconciler/controller scope (merger cannot set labels).

Fix the Gitea-Tools label pagination defect in gitea_set_issue_labels: the API call api_request("GET", f"{base}/labels?limit=100", auth) is capped at Gitea's per-page limit (50 items), causing label lookup to fail for any repository with more than 50 labels.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #601 — CLOSURE AUDIT (post-transport-flap rerun): closure VALID; contamination narrative discarded; no reopen

What is true now:

  • Issue state: closed (#601); closed_at 2026-07-10T11:23:29-05:00
  • PR #625 state: closed; merge performed (merge_commit_sha 5347b313ea); merged_at 2026-07-10T11:23:29-05:00
  • Closer/closing-event: issue closed_at is IDENTICAL to PR #625 merged_at (11:23:29) — closed by the "Closes #601" auto-close on the merge event, NOT by a manual author-profile close
  • Current labels: anti-stomp, leases, recovery, type:feature, workflow-hardening (stale status:pr-open already removed by prior reconciler comment 9567; valid labels preserved)
  • Server-side decision state: reviewer server-side review verdict recorded non-blocking at head SHA 1be4600261 (approval_visible=true, approval_at_current_head=true, has_blocking_change_requests=false); the merge of PR #625 was performed; issue #601 closed by that merge event
  • Local verdict/state: git remote proof — merge commit 5347b31 and head SHA 1be4600261 both reachable from prgs/master; PR #625 changed the real #601 lease files (lease_lifecycle.py +723 new, control_plane_db.py +622, gitea_mcp_server.py +310, issue_lock_store.py, task_capability_map.py, tests/test_lease_lifecycle.py +392 new, plus docs); control checkout clean
  • Latest known validation: reviewer-reported targeted suite 79 passed; git diff --check prgs/master...HEAD clean at review time
  • #600 / #612 / #613 remain closed; no other issue or PR selected or modified

What changed:

  • Nothing mutated by this audit. Live state re-verified after an MCP transport flap (Transport closed) that had blocked a prior audit attempt. Labels were already reconciled by comment 9567; no label mutation required now.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: no blocker

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: user
  • Required action: none — closure is valid and durable; audit trail complete
  • Do not do: do not reopen #601; do not re-run label mutation (already correct); do not treat the contamination narrative as closure basis

Contamination adjudication (trusted vs discarded)

TRUSTED proof of closure:

  • Sanctioned PR #625 (merge commit 5347b31 on prgs/master) genuinely implementing #601's lease lifecycle.
  • Issue closed_at == PR merged_at → closed by the merge event, not a manual author closure.
  • Label hygiene performed via sanctioned gitea_set_issue_labels (comment 9567) after the label-pagination tooling defect was fixed by sanctioned PR #627/#629 (present on prgs/master).

DISCARDED as closure basis (not underpinning the closure):

  • "pkill -f mcp_server.py" / MCP restart — maps to the legitimate MCP reconnect required to load the #629 label-pagination fix (comments 9455 to 9567), not a closure mechanism.
  • "root .env create/delete" and "validation from branches/review-pr-625" — no bearing on the merge-commit closure proof.
  • "local commit claims without branch/SHA/push/PR/review/merge proof" — the real changes landed via PRs #625 and #629 (both merge-committed to prgs/master with SHAs); no local-only commit is the closure basis.
  • "direct closure of #601 by author profile" — REFUTED: closed_at equals the merge timestamp; closed by the merge event.
  • Operator-reported files mcp_daemon_guard.py / mcp_server.py / tests/test_health.py are PRESENT on master but were NOT touched by PR #625; the only sanctioned mcp_server change is the #629 label fix. No phantom health-file commit is the closure basis.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:

WHO_IS_NEXT:
user

NEXT_ACTION:
None. Issue #601 is validly closed by PR #625 (merge commit 5347b31); labels are reconciled; audit trail is complete.

NEXT_PROMPT:

No further action required for Issue #601. It is validly closed by PR #625 (merge commit 5347b313ea4ac5a1d265b42de653e91e2b0bdcb6 on prgs/master); labels are reconciled (status:pr-open removed, valid labels preserved); the contamination narrative was audited and discarded as non-load-bearing. Do not reopen without new live evidence of missing implementation on prgs/master.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Reconciler/controller reran the Issue #601 closure audit after an MCP transport flap had blocked a prior attempt. Live Gitea + git-remote reads confirm #601 was closed by the merge event of sanctioned PR #625 (merge commit 5347b31 on prgs/master, implementing the real lease-lifecycle files), that closed_at equals merged_at (auto-close, not a manual author close), and that stale label status:pr-open was already removed with valid labels preserved. The operator-supplied contamination narrative was adjudicated against live proof and found non-load-bearing for the closure.

WHY:
A valid landed implementation exists on prgs/master despite the reported contaminated session behavior, so the correct disposition is to leave #601 closed and document trusted vs discarded proof rather than reopen. Reopening is unwarranted on the merits and would be forbidden without live evidence of missing implementation.

Reconciler runtime fresh: restart_required=false, stop_required=false, preflight workflow_skill_ready=true, boundary clean, in parity. No mutation performed by this audit.
