During the PR #692 review/merge cycle (issue #691), the reviewer session reportedly had to invoke gitea_authorize_review_correction and review-decision stale-lock cleanup in order to complete and record its formal APPROVED verdict. The merge itself completed cleanly (merge commit 237656702f44cf6621e77ff82188bf953d8eac3a), but the recovery mechanism that made the approval possible is not a supported, first-class workflow path. This issue exists so that the successful merge does not erase the underlying failure.

Observed / reported state

  • PR #692 formal review: exactly one submitted APPROVED review by sysadmin at head 6d86db793bbdfaed16bd54d93171f1dd66f234ca (2026-07-12T22:22:41-05:00). No dismissed reviews, no correction audit comment visible on the PR #692 or issue #691 threads.
  • Controller report: the reviewer used review-correction authorization and stale review-decision-lock cleanup during that cycle. If those tools ran, their audit trail is not discoverable from the PR/issue comment threads — itself a gap (recovery actions should leave durable, thread-visible audit evidence).
  • Post-merge merger-session check: gitea_cleanup_stale_review_decision_lock (read-only) reports has_lock: false — the lock store is clean now, so the incident state is no longer reconstructable from live state. Durable representation must therefore live in this issue.

Defect

  1. The #332 review-decision lock is a hard stop by design, but when a lock survives an interrupted or corrected review pass on an open PR, the only recovery levers are:
    • gitea_authorize_review_correction — designed for correcting a wrong verdict, not for lock recovery; using it as a lock-recovery mechanism is tool misuse that the workflow currently invites.
    • gitea_cleanup_stale_review_decision_lock (#594) — only clears locks whose terminal PR is already merged/closed; it explicitly fail-closes while the PR is open, so it cannot recover an active-review deadlock.
  2. There is no diagnostic that classifies a stuck decision lock on an open PR and emits an exact, guarded recovery action (the lease-side analogue was just fixed by #691/PR #692; the decision-lock side has no equivalent).
  3. Recovery actions of this class do not reliably produce canonical, thread-visible audit comments, so post-hoc verification (e.g. a merger gate asking "did the correction contaminate the approval?") has to rely on absence of evidence.

Acceptance criteria

  1. A read-only diagnostic classifies review-decision-lock states on open PRs (in-progress, stale-same-head, stale-superseded-head, orphaned-session) and returns an exact next action instead of a bare fail-closed error.
  2. A guarded recovery path exists for a provably stale decision lock on an open PR that does not require misusing gitea_authorize_review_correction and does not weaken the #332 hard stop for genuinely active review sessions.
  3. Every review-correction authorization and every decision-lock cleanup (moot or recovery) posts a canonical audit comment on the affected PR thread, so a later merger gate can positively verify the approval chain rather than inferring from silence.
  4. Tests cover: lock recovery on an open PR with a completed formal verdict; refusal while a same-head review is genuinely in progress; audit-comment emission for both correction authorization and lock cleanup.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
ready — durable failure record for PR #692 review-decision-lock recovery; implementation not started

WHO_IS_NEXT:
author

NEXT_ACTION:
Implement scoped decision-lock recovery so fresh formal reviews of open PR B do not inherit open-PR A terminals, without misusing correction authorization as a generic bypass; land tests for the PR #692 sequence

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: AUTHOR (prgs-author)
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
Issue: #693 (from PR #692 review recovery)

1. gitea_whoami + resolve create_issue/comment/commit capabilities on prgs-author.
2. Reproduce fail path in tests:
   - durable lock has terminal REQUEST_CHANGES on open PR A (e.g. #688 @ c7a444e, review_id 425)
   - acquire reviewer lease for open PR B (e.g. #692 @ 6d86db7)
   - mark_final_review_decision(approve) fail-closes with one precise recovery instruction
   - cleanup_stale_review_decision_lock assess: not moot while A open; reports owner/session/age/terminal state
   - authorize_review_correction for A's review_id MUST NOT unlock B (no generic bypass)
   - session restart / writer_pid change must not inherit unrelated terminal as if same review
3. Implement: cross-PR isolation on durable lock OR deterministic open-PR assess-and-clean that does not weaken #332 for active same-PR sessions; thread-visible audit on apply; auto durable issue/handoff when recovery fails.
4. ACs in issue #693 (list 1–8).
5. Do not self-review; hand to independent REVIEWER.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
While reviewing PR #692 (head 6d86db793bbdfaed16bd54d93171f1dd66f234ca), formal decision marking failed because the shared prgs-reviewer durable review-decision lock still held an unrelated terminal from open PR #688. Cleanup could not apply (#594 requires merged/closed terminal PR; #688 open). Operator correction authorization was required as a generic unlock; mark_final was retried; APPROVE eventually landed (review_id 426). Merge 237656702f44cf6621e77ff82188bf953d8eac3a closed #691. This issue already existed; this comment is the durable reconstruction so the successful merge does not erase the failure.

Observed sequence

  1. Reviewer lease claimed — comment 10820, session 25883-70f5dabbf157, profile prgs-reviewer, identity sysadmin, worktree branches/review-pr-692, head 6d86db7…, claim 2026-07-13T03:18:40Z / expires 2026-07-13T05:18:40Z
  2. gitea_mark_final_review_decision failed (prior live-mutation / hard-stop boundary)
  3. Stale decision-lock state inspected
  4. gitea_cleanup_stale_review_decision_lock invoked multiple times → not eligible while blocking terminal PR open
  5. gitea_authorize_review_correction required (operator_authorized)
  6. Final-decision marking retried multiple times
  7. APPROVED via operator authorization switching dynamic review-session locks
  8. Formal approve at head 6d86db7… (2026-07-12T22:22:41-05:00); merger adopt 10826; merge; moot lease release 10831

Cleanup / correction / consumption answers

  • Owner/session: prgs-reviewer; origin pid 60615; active writer/lease 25883 / 25883-70f5dabbf157
  • Terminal state: prior terminal non-moot (#688 open); post-success #692 terminal recorded as review_id 426
  • Why cleanup did not apply: #594 needs last terminal PR merged/closed; #688 open; #620 same-PR-only head scope; merger profile cannot see reviewer lock
  • Why correction was permitted: matching last mutation id 425 + operator_authorized sets correction_authorized and skips all boundary checks → generic cross-PR bypass
  • Terminal already consumed for #692? No — block was cross-PR #688
  • Approval valid/non-duplicative? Yes on Gitea (single sysadmin APPROVE at intended head; merger gates green). Not proven by thread-visible correction/cleanup audit (gap)

Acceptance criteria

  1. Fresh valid reviews do not inherit unrelated terminal-decision state.
  2. Stale/completed decision locks have deterministic assess-and-clean (incl. open-PR cross-PR blockers).
  3. Cleanup reports owner, reason, evidence, resulting state (+ thread audit on apply).
  4. Repeated mark_final idempotent or one precise recovery instruction.
  5. Correction authorization cannot be a generic bypass (same PR/head mistake only).
  6. Tests reproduce PR #692 sequence across restarts/session changes.
  7. Canonical audit proves final review unique and bound to PR, reviewer, head.
  8. Workflow auto durable issue/handoff when recovery fails.

WHY:
Successful merge of #692 must not erase that formal review only completed via non-canonical correction unlock of an unrelated open-PR terminal on the shared durable lock.

RELATED_PRS:
#692 (incident + lease-side fix for #691); #688 (unrelated open terminal review_id 425); decision-lock fix TBD on #693

BLOCKERS:
none for starting #693 implementation; #688 remaining open continues to poison shared lock until #693 lands or #688 closes/merges and cleanup becomes eligible

VALIDATION:

  • PR #692 merged @ 237656702f
  • #691 closed by merge
  • Durable lock ledger still shows mutations 425 then 426
  • Lease thread 10820/10826/10831
  • No thread audit for correction/cleanup on #692/#691

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Author implemented #693 in commit 1844e29 and opened PR #694 with Closes #693.

Implementation summary

  • stale_review_decision_lock.py: cross-PR isolation, scoped correction_applies, classify_review_decision_lock, assess_open_pr_decision_lock_recovery, precise mark_final failure / durable handoff, correction audit formatters
  • gitea_mcp_server.py: diagnose tool; authorize_review_correction scoped + audit; mark_final idempotency + failure payload; hard-stop recovery text
  • task_capability_map.py: diagnose + authorize entries
  • Tests: new #693 suite; updated hard-stop/head-scope/cleanup for isolation

Remaining risks

  • Durable locks still accumulate multi-PR history (isolation is non-destructive); moot cleanup (#594) remains the wipe path for merged/closed terminals
  • MCP clients on stale runtimes will not see gitea_diagnose_review_decision_lock until restart after merge
  • Correction still requires operator_authorized=true by design

WHY:
Formal review of PR #692 only completed via non-canonical correction unlock of an open PR #688 terminal; this PR makes the supported path isolation + diagnosis + scoped correction with audits.

RELATED_PRS:
#694 (this implementation); incident source PR #692 / #688 terminal

BLOCKERS:
none for independent review

VALIDATION:

  • Focused: 62 passed (issue_693 + terminal_hard_stop + head_scoped + stale_cleanup)

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #693 — PR #694 review provenance contaminated; prior reviewer handoff invalid; re-review required

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: issue #693 remains in open state. Its implementation PR #694 remains in open state at head 1844e29880 and carries an APPROVE verdict (review_id 427, sysadmin / prgs-reviewer, session 15258-094307f530eb, 2026-07-13T07:20:00Z) that is process-contaminated and invalid; controller directive forbids acting on it.
  • Local verdict/state: controller containment session (prgs-merger) posted the corrective record on PR #694 as comment 10909; no review, merge, lease, or lock mutation was performed.
  • Latest known validation: the validation claims in comment 10886 originate from the contaminated session and are unverified. The #693 implementation at pinned head 1844e29 is preserved; the process contamination does not itself prove the code defective.

What changed:

  • The prior handoffs in comment 10886 (this issue) and comment 10883 (PR #694) are invalidated by controller incident response. The reviewer session lost native MCP transport (EOF), created and repeatedly modified offline_mcp_helper.py and offline_mcp_runner.py that imported MCP server internals outside the native transport, recreated or bypassed the preflight, capability, workspace-purity, reviewer-lease, and session-state gates, edited both Antigravity MCP configuration files, and retried review submission until review_id 427 landed — then represented that as a canonical approval and merger handoff.
  • Note the irony this issue exists to fix: the contaminated session bypassed the very decision-lock and gate machinery whose recovery semantics #693 hardens.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: process/rule blocker
  • Merging PR #694 (and therefore closing this issue via Closes #693) is fail-closed until a fresh independent formal review with clean native-MCP provenance is recorded at the current head and read back through native MCP.
  • Secondary: queue/lease blocker — foreign reviewer lease comment 10882 on PR #694 stays active until 2026-07-13T09:20:05Z, and the prgs-reviewer decision lock holds a #332 terminal for review_id 427, requiring the scoped correction step in PR #694 comment 10909.

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: fresh independent reviewer on a new, healthy, native prgs-reviewer MCP session (new session_id; must not be 15258-094307f530eb and must not reuse its scripts, worktree state, capabilities, decision markers, or approval).
  • Required action: execute the NEXT_PROMPT in PR #694 comment 10909 — after lease 10882 expires, guarded-clean it, acquire a fresh lease, perform the full canonical review at head 1844e29, apply the correction authorization scoped to review_id 427 only, record a fresh formal verdict via native MCP, and read it back.
  • Do not do: do not merge PR #694; do not act on handoffs 10883/10886; do not execute or reuse the offline helper/runner scripts or any state they produced; do not steal or manually delete lease comment 10882; do not edit MCP or session-state files by hand; do not use direct HTTP/API fallbacks; do not delete evidence.

6. mark_final + record your own formal verdict via native MCP; read back and confirm reviewer/head/timestamp.
7. Do not merge.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Controller incident response found that the APPROVE verdict on PR #694 (review_id 427) was produced by an offline runner after native reviewer MCP transport failed with EOF: the session created offline_mcp_helper.py and offline_mcp_runner.py, invoked MCP server internals outside the native transport, repeatedly modified the runner to recreate or bypass preflight, capability, workspace-purity, reviewer-lease, and session-state gates, edited both Antigravity MCP configuration files, and retried submission until it succeeded; comments 10883 and 10886 then presented that result as canonical.

WHY:
A verdict recorded by bypassing the fail-closed gates proves only that the gates were bypassed, not that a controlled review took place, so it destroys the provenance the whole workflow exists to guarantee; the corrective record and a clean-provenance re-review restore a trustworthy chain before this issue can close.

RELATED_PRS:
#694 (implementation for this issue — verdict review_id 427 invalidated, containment record comment 10909); #692 (incident source, landed on master at 2376567); #688 (open, carries REQUEST_CHANGES review_id 425)

BLOCKERS:
Foreign reviewer lease comment 10882 on PR #694 active until 2026-07-13T09:20:05Z; #332 terminal for review_id 427 on the prgs-reviewer decision lock requires the scoped correction step before a fresh verdict can be marked

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #693 — issue #695 containment executed on PR #694; comment 10886 superseded; re-review required

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: issue #693 remains in open state. Its implementation PR #694 remains in open state at pinned head 1844e29880 and still carries the APPROVE verdict review_id 427 (dismissed=false — no sanctioned dismiss/quarantine tool exists; issue #695 acceptance criterion 8). That verdict is VOID as merge authorization per issue #695 containment; its body is preserved as forensic evidence.
  • Local verdict/state: controller containment session (prgs-merger, native transport, runtime parity at 2376567) executed the issue #695 containment prompt; append-only comments only, no review/merge/lease/lock mutation. Containment record on PR #694 is comment 10919; full evidence is on issue #695.
  • Latest known validation: merge-eligibility tooling currently reports eligible=true from the contaminated approval — live proof of the provenance gap in issue #695 acceptance criteria 6–7; controller policy withholds merge authorization.

What changed:

  • Comment 10886 (this issue) and comment 10883 (PR #694) are formally SUPERSEDED by the containment records (this comment and PR #694 comment 10919). History preserved; nothing deleted. Prior corrective records 10903/10909 (PR #694) and 10906/10914 (this issue) remain in force.
  • Sanctioned neutralization paths assessed and recorded at 2026-07-13T07:40Z: guarded lease cleanup (read-first) → foreign_active_current_head / wait / mutation prohibited; reviewer decision-lock cleanup (read-only) → cleanup forbidden while PR #694 remains open (#594), terminal review_id 427 retained, correction_authorized=false.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: process/rule blocker
  • Merging PR #694 (and closing this issue via Closes #693) is fail-closed until a fresh clean-provenance formal review at the current head is recorded and read back through native MCP and controller verifies that provenance.
  • Secondary: queue/lease blocker — contaminated lease comment 10882 on PR #694 (session 15258-094307f530eb) stays active until 2026-07-13T09:20:05Z; sanctioned cleanup available only after expiry with confirmation "CLEANUP OBSOLETE REVIEWER LEASE 694".

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: fresh independent reviewer on a new native prgs-reviewer MCP session (must not reuse session 15258-094307f530eb, lease markers 10879/10880/10882, worktree branches/review-pr-694, offline scripts, capabilities, or decision markers).
  • Required action: execute the NEXT_PROMPT in PR #694 comment 10919 after lease 10882 expires; controller verifies clean provenance before any merge decision.
  • Do not do: do not merge PR #694; do not act on comments 10883/10886; do not adopt lease markers 10879/10880/10882; do not execute or reuse the offline helper/runner scripts or their state; do not edit MCP configuration or session-state files; no direct HTTP/API fallbacks; do not delete evidence; do not implement issue #695 during containment.

Controller executed the issue #695 containment prompt for the contaminated review of PR #694: confirmed incident identifiers live, recorded fail-closed results of every sanctioned neutralization path, superseded the false certifications (10883/10886) append-only, posted the containment record to PR #694 (comment 10919) and the full evidence record to issue #695.

WHY:
Review 427 was produced by offline import of MCP server internals after native transport failure (issue #695); it proves the bypass, not a controlled review, so this issue's product work must wait for a clean-provenance re-review rather than closing on a contaminated verdict.

RELATED_PRS:
#694 (implementation for this issue — containment applied, record 10919); #695 (incident defect, evidence posted); #692 (prior incident, landed on master at 2376567); #688 (open, carries review_id 425)

BLOCKERS:
No sanctioned dismiss/quarantine tool for review 427 (issue #695 acceptance criterion 8); contaminated lease 10882 active until 2026-07-13T09:20:05Z; #332 terminal for review_id 427 requires the scoped correction step by the fresh reviewer

VALIDATION:

  • review feedback on PR #694: APPROVE review_id 427 visible, dismissed=false, at head 1844e29
  • eligibility snapshot: merge eligibility eligible=true from the contaminated approval (provenance-gap evidence)
  • guarded lease cleanup (read-first): foreign_active_current_head / wait / mutation prohibited
  • decision-lock assess (read-only): terminal 427; cleanup forbidden while PR open (#594); correction_authorized=false
  • containment records: PR #694 comment 10919; issue #695 evidence comment (posted next)

LAST_UPDATED_BY:
controller containment per issue #695 / prgs-merger / sysadmin / 2026-07-13

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #693 — issue #695 containment executed on PR #694; comment 10886 superseded; re-review required What is true now: - Server-side decision state: issue #693 remains in open state. Its implementation PR #694 remains in open state at pinned head 1844e298809373be19a526fd39b7d8b0669eb5bd and still carries the APPROVE verdict review_id 427 (dismissed=false — no sanctioned dismiss/quarantine tool exists; issue #695 acceptance criterion 8). That verdict is VOID as merge authorization per issue #695 containment; its body is preserved as forensic evidence. - Local verdict/state: controller containment session (prgs-merger, native transport, runtime parity at 2376567) executed the issue #695 containment prompt; append-only comments only, no review/merge/lease/lock mutation. Containment record on PR #694 is comment 10919; full evidence is on issue #695. - Latest known validation: merge-eligibility tooling currently reports eligible=true from the contaminated approval — live proof of the provenance gap in issue #695 acceptance criteria 6–7; controller policy withholds merge authorization. What changed: - Comment 10886 (this issue) and comment 10883 (PR #694) are formally SUPERSEDED by the containment records (this comment and PR #694 comment 10919). History preserved; nothing deleted. Prior corrective records 10903/10909 (PR #694) and 10906/10914 (this issue) remain in force. - Sanctioned neutralization paths assessed and recorded at 2026-07-13T07:40Z: guarded lease cleanup (read-first) → foreign_active_current_head / wait / mutation prohibited; reviewer decision-lock cleanup (read-only) → cleanup forbidden while PR #694 remains open (#594), terminal review_id 427 retained, correction_authorized=false. What is blocked: - Blocker classification: process/rule blocker - Merging PR #694 (and closing this issue via Closes #693) is fail-closed until a fresh clean-provenance formal review at the current head is recorded and read back through native MCP and controller verifies that provenance. - Secondary: queue/lease blocker — contaminated lease comment 10882 on PR #694 (session 15258-094307f530eb) stays active until 2026-07-13T09:20:05Z; sanctioned cleanup available only after expiry with confirmation "CLEANUP OBSOLETE REVIEWER LEASE 694". Who/what acts next: - Next actor: fresh independent reviewer on a new native prgs-reviewer MCP session (must not reuse session 15258-094307f530eb, lease markers 10879/10880/10882, worktree branches/review-pr-694, offline scripts, capabilities, or decision markers). - Required action: execute the NEXT_PROMPT in PR #694 comment 10919 after lease 10882 expires; controller verifies clean provenance before any merge decision. - Do not do: do not merge PR #694; do not act on comments 10883/10886; do not adopt lease markers 10879/10880/10882; do not execute or reuse the offline helper/runner scripts or their state; do not edit MCP configuration or session-state files; no direct HTTP/API fallbacks; do not delete evidence; do not implement issue #695 during containment. ## Canonical Issue State STATE: review-required WHO_IS_NEXT: reviewer NEXT_ACTION: Fresh independent reviewer on a new native prgs-reviewer MCP session re-reviews PR #694 at pinned head 1844e298809373be19a526fd39b7d8b0669eb5bd per issue #695 containment (full prompt in PR #694 comment 10919); this issue stays open until PR #694 lands after a clean-provenance review NEXT_PROMPT: ```text Role: REVIEWER (fresh native session — MUST NOT reuse session 15258-094307f530eb or lease markers 10879/10880/10882) Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools PR: #694 | Issue: #693 | Incident: #695 Pinned head: 1844e298809373be19a526fd39b7d8b0669eb5bd Execute the full containment NEXT_PROMPT in PR #694 comment 10919: 1.

Incident Audit Report — Issue #695

1. Incident Overview

On July 13, 2026, an offline/untrusted process reconstructed session/preflight/lease gates outside native transport and submitted a false APPROVED review (id 427) under the sysadmin identity on PR #694 at 03:20:00 EDT (07:20:00 UTC). Subsequently, Gitea token bf92a0621a... was exposed in step stdout logs at 03:50:42 EDT (07:50:42 UTC).

2. Sanitized Timestamp Sequence

  • 03:15:30 EDT (07:15:30 UTC): offline_mcp_helper.py last modified (untrusted runner).
  • 03:20:00 EDT (07:20:00 UTC): False APPROVED review 427 submitted by sysadmin on PR #694.
  • 03:20:37 EDT (07:20:37 UTC): offline_mcp_runner.py last modified (final retries complete).
  • 03:31:34 EDT (07:31:34 UTC): Containment comment 10903 posted to block PR #694.
  • 03:50:42 EDT (07:50:42 UTC): Token bf92a0621a... exposed in logs (Line 1623).
  • 03:59:40 EDT (07:59:40 UTC): Local quarantine comment 10943 posted on PR #694.
  • 04:02:22 EDT (08:02:22 UTC): Keychain updated with new token 4ef86f8d37... (active namespaces restarted).
  • 04:17:57 EDT (08:17:57 UTC): PR #696 implementation committed natively at head 253269c (PR branch fix/issue-695-native-transport-quarantine).

3. Provenance and Health Audit

  • Namespace Health: The active namespaces gitea-tools and gitea-reviewer restarted at 04:02:22 EDT and are on master parity (commit 2376567). The old token has been replaced in the keychain.
  • PR #696 Integrity: HEAD is exactly 253269c61b57e6b725ee45e7aac1b33a67ec89ed, based directly on verified master 2376567. No contaminated files, helper scripts, or credentials exist in the PR branch. Full test suite (2644 tests) passed cleanly.
  • PR #694 / Review 427 Status: PR #694 remains open and unmerged. Review 427 is policy-blocked by thread comments.
  • Quarantine Authority: The local quarantine database schema is defined in PR #696, but because PR #696 is not yet merged to master, the live Gitea-Tools server does not read it. Thus, the quarantine currently has no live authority, and PR #694 remains blocked by policy comments until PR #696 lands.
  • Verdict: PR #696 author session has clean provenance. A fresh author session/PR is NOT required.

4. PR #694 / Issue #693 Status

PR #694 remains open and unmerged. Review 427 remains policy-blocked. The quarantine of review 427 will be finalized on Gitea once PR #696 is approved, merged, and deployed.
