Defect Description

When the MCP daemon crashes due to unhandled exceptions (such as HTTP 401 Unauthorized during gitea_whoami), the process terminates immediately without executing graceful teardown logic.

As a result:

  1. The durable lease remained active: The lease recorded in the Gitea issue comment survives the crash because no cleanup/release logic was triggered.
  2. The in-session lease became null: The in-memory _SESSION_LEASE dictionary is destroyed when the process dies.
  3. Runtime stayed bound to branches/review-pr-654: Upon auto-reconnect, the daemon inherits the stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE from its parent IDE environment, permanently binding the new session to the old worktree instead of the intended PR #701 review worktree.

Reproduction / Context

This was observed during the PR #701 review session (lease 65664-4f248d213d60, comments 11129 and 11131). The unhandled auth exception caused an EOF on the client side, restarting the daemon with the old IDE environment variables intact.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Ensure graceful handling of auth errors (already addressed in PR #701).
  • Implement a mechanism to safely clear or re-bind stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE environment variables upon auto-reconnect or during gitea_resolve_task_capability.
  • Ensure lease cleanup logic is executed or recoverable following an unexpected process exit.

CTH: Blocker — fresh PR #701 review preflight stopped by #702

Formal verdict: none submitted. No review worktree, reviewer lease, validation, or review mutation was started.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
fresh-review-blocked-before-worktree; stale runtime binding and ambiguous old-head lease remain

WHO_IS_NEXT:
controller

NEXT_ACTION:
Use the sanctioned #702 recovery path to remove the stale reviewer runtime binding and reconcile or canonically expire lease comment 11131. Then launch a completely fresh prgs-reviewer session and rerun the entire PR #701 workflow at head 6b675f5c83.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: CONTROLLER recovery for Issue #702
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
Blocked review: PR #701 / Issue #699
Pinned head: 6b675f5c834b41f9d74e8a54294ff44dddf28ae4

1. Do not manually seed, transfer, repoint, or steal reviewer lease state.
2. Repair the prgs-reviewer runtime environment so GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE no longer binds to branches/review-pr-654.
3. Reconcile or wait for canonical expiry of lease comment 11131 / session 65664-4f248d213d60, which is tied to old head b4d0cb22e452a07c8e816745c704ddb0f43edf0b and has session_lease=null.
4. Verify a new reviewer runtime reports the intended fresh PR #701 worktree as active_task_workspace_root before lease acquisition.
5. Start the full review workflow from identity/inventory; do not reuse validation or decision state from any prior run.
6. Do not review or mutate PR #696.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
A completely fresh prgs-reviewer workflow loaded successfully with clean workflow boundary and verified sysadmin identity. Live Gitea state confirmed PR #701 open and mergeable at the pinned head, no formal reviews, and retrieved comments 11133, 11136, 11152, and 11160. Before any git mutation, runtime context still reported active_task_workspace_root=/Users/jasonwalker/Development/Gitea-Tools/branches/review-pr-654. Lease assessment found comment 11131 still present with session_lease=null and stale_warning. Native handoff diagnosis classified the state ambiguous_conflicting_evidence, mutation_eligibility=prohibited, exact next action wait.

WHY:
The environment-bound worktree, proposed new reviewer worktree, and durable lease worktree disagree. The durable lease covers an old head, has no formal terminal review, and cannot be stolen or transferred. Issue #702 provides only controller recovery; no reviewer-authorized rebind path is exposed. Continuing would violate canonical worktree and lease gates.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #701 only. PR #696 was not reviewed, launched, or mutated.

CANONICAL_ITEM:
Issue #702 is the canonical tracker for reviewer runtime binding and orphaned lease recovery blocking PR #701.

SUPERSEDED_ITEM:
Lease comment 11131 / session 65664-4f248d213d60 at old head b4d0cb22e4 is not valid review authority for current head 6b675f5c83.

BLOCKERS:
Runtime is bound to branches/review-pr-654; durable lease 11131 is tied to the prior review worktree and old head with session_lease=null; diagnosis says wait and mutation prohibited. UNBLOCK CONDITION: controller restores a clean reviewer runtime bound to a new PR #701 worktree and the old lease is canonically expired or reconciled, after which a fresh reviewer reruns all validation.

VALIDATION:
Read-only preflight only: workflow hash da045d1e1f1f, schema hash a7634e7b8689, boundary clean; sysadmin/prgs-reviewer verified; open-PR inventory complete (8, has_more=false); PR #701 live head equals 6b675f5c834b41f9d74e8a54294ff44dddf28ae4; formal reviews empty; specified comments retrieved; root checkout clean on master at 237656702f. No worktree creation, fetch, tests, file edits, lease acquisition, formal review, merge, cleanup, environment mutation, or manual state manipulation.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #702 — non-formal blocker handoff: PR #703 validation pass ran without a reviewer lease and is non-authoritative; formal review still pending

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: no server-side review or merge state changed by this comment; #702 remains in open state with status:pr-open; its implementation PR #703 (head 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac) shows zero reviews on the review API — no formal verdict exists.
  • Local verdict/state: NON-AUTHORITATIVE. A session performed review/validation work on PR #703 before holding a valid in-session reviewer lease. That work carries no review authority and must not be legalized by acquiring a lease after the fact. Its six findings, labeled F1–F6, are reproducible leads only and require fresh independent confirmation by a properly leased reviewer.
  • Latest known validation: review worktree branches/review-pr-703 confirmed clean (git status --porcelain empty) at the pinned head 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac, matching the live PR head; details in PR #703 comment 11176.

What changed:

  • The lease-discipline violation is durably recorded and the unlicensed validation pass quarantined as non-authoritative; no lease was acquired, reconciled, or released; no verdict was recorded; no source was edited by this session.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: queue/lease blocker
  • Formal review of PR #703 (and therefore #702 closure) is gated on: (1) reviewer lease 11131 (session 65664-4f248d213d60, PR #701 scope) reaching canonical expiry at 2026-07-13T19:16:41Z and being handled by a controller/reconciler — never by a reviewer-role session; (2) a completely fresh reviewer session acquiring its own PR #703 lease BEFORE any reading, reviewing, or validating.

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: reconciler
  • Required action: after canonical expiry of lease 11131, handle its disposition through sanctioned lease tooling from a controller/reconciler session; then a completely fresh reviewer session acquires a PR #703 lease and performs the independent review at the re-pinned live head, re-deriving the F1–F6 leads from scratch.
  • Do not do: do not treat the unlicensed pass or F1–F6 as review authority; do not reconcile lease 11131 from a reviewer role; do not acquire a PR #703 lease from the violating session; do not record a verdict until the fresh leased review completes; do not merge PR #703; do not review PR #701 or PR #696 in this workstream.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
awaiting-fresh-reviewer-lease

WHO_IS_NEXT:
reconciler

NEXT_ACTION:
Handle lease 11131 via controller/reconciler after canonical expiry (2026-07-13T19:16:41Z), then route PR #703 to a completely fresh reviewer session that acquires its own lease before any review or validation work.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
Issue: #702 | PR: #703 (live head 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac) | Lease: 11131 (session 65664-4f248d213d60)

RECONCILER (only after 2026-07-13T19:16:41Z):
1. gitea_whoami + gitea_resolve_task_capability on prgs-reconciler; confirm lease 11131 is past canonical expiry; handle disposition via sanctioned lease tooling only.

FRESH REVIEWER (new session afterward):
1. gitea_whoami + gitea_resolve_task_capability(review_pr) on prgs-reviewer; pass explicit worktree_path; acquire the PR #703 reviewer lease FIRST.
2. Re-pin the live head; review independently; treat F1–F6 from the non-authoritative pass as unconfirmed leads to re-derive from scratch.
3. Record the formal verdict via the native review API only under the held lease.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
PR #703 implements this issue and awaits formal review; a premature validation pass without a reviewer lease was quarantined as non-authoritative (PR #703 comment 11176), leaving F1–F6 as unconfirmed leads.

WHY:
Review authority derives from lease discipline; permitting post-hoc lease acquisition would legalize unlicensed review work and defeat the anti-stomp guarantees this very issue exists to strengthen.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (implementation of this issue, open, head 889931d, zero reviews); PR #701 (open, head 6b675f5, no formal review, gated behind this issue's fix landing).

BLOCKERS:
Queue/lease blocker — lease 11131 canonical expiry + controller/reconciler disposition, then fresh-reviewer lease acquisition, precede formal review of PR #703 and closure of this issue.

VALIDATION:
Review API read-back before posting: PR #703 pr_state=open, current_head_sha=889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac, reviews=[]; worktree branches/review-pr-703 clean at the same SHA; handoff recorded on the PR as comment 11176.

CTH: Controller Decision — lease 11131 + non-authoritative review leads

Status: lease_11131_expired_cleanup_not_authorized; reviewer_env_still_bound_to_review-pr-654; not_safe_to_launch_fresh_pr_703_reviewer
Next owner: user
Current blocker: (1) native cleanup of comment-lease 11131 not authorized; (2) GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE still binds reviewer/reconciler runtimes to branches/review-pr-654
Decision: Do not apply obsolete-lease cleanup. Do not launch a PR #703 reviewer until binding is clear and a re-check passes. Mirror of PR #703 controller comment for durable issue thread.
Proof: dry-run cleanup_allowed=false; runtime context active_task_workspace_root=review-pr-654
Next action: Operator clears GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE / managed reconnect; controller re-verifies; then fresh leased reviewer on #703 re-evaluates F1–F6.
Ready-to-paste prompt: see NEXT_PROMPT.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:

WHO_IS_NEXT:

NEXT_ACTION:
Clear or rebind stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE so reviewer/reconciler runtime no longer points at branches/review-pr-654; controller re-runs dry-run/diagnose; only then launch a fresh leased reviewer for PR #703 who must re-evaluate F1–F6 with evidence

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: OPERATOR (user) then CONTROLLER then REVIEWER
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
Issue: #702 | PR: #703 | Related expired lease: PR #701 comment 11131

1. Operator: clear or rebind GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE so no MCP reviewer/reconciler process is bound to branches/review-pr-654; prefer managed reconnect over ad-hoc env edits.
2. Controller/reconciler: re-run gitea_cleanup_obsolete_reviewer_comment_lease(pr=701, apply=false) and gitea_diagnose_reviewer_pr_lease_handoff(701); apply cleanup only if cleanup_allowed=true with controller_recovery_authorized=true and confirmation exactly CLEANUP OBSOLETE REVIEWER LEASE 701.
3. Confirm gitea_get_runtime_context on prgs-reviewer shows workspace not review-pr-654 and binding source is not a stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE to that path.
4. Fresh independent REVIEWER: acquire lease on PR #703 only; independently reproduce or reject F1–F6 with evidence; never treat quarantined leads as findings; document non-reproduction with evidence.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Controller/reconciler ran sanctioned obsolete-lease dry-run after wall-clock expiry of lease 11131. Cleanup not authorized (ambiguous_conflicting_evidence: superseded head without terminal review). Durable assess on #701 shows active_lease null; env binding to review-pr-654 remains on reviewer and reconciler runtimes. Non-authoritative F1–F6 preserved for leased independent re-evaluation. Same lead set posted on PR #703.

WHY:
Must not bypass native cleanup gates, must not steal/repoint leases, and must not launch review while runtime is still bound to the #701 incident worktree path (review-pr-654).

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (Closes #702). Lease 11131 lived on PR #701 (issue #699).

BLOCKERS:
GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE still routes active_task_workspace_root to branches/review-pr-654 on prgs-reviewer and prgs-reconciler; obsolete cleanup of 11131 not authorized (cleanup_allowed=false).

VALIDATION:

  • whoami reconciler: sysadmin / prgs-reconciler
  • dry-run gitea_cleanup_obsolete_reviewer_comment_lease(701): expired=true, cleanup_allowed=false, classification=ambiguous_conflicting_evidence
  • gitea_assess_reviewer_pr_lease(701): active_lease=null

LAST_UPDATED_BY:

NON-AUTHORITATIVE REVIEW LEADS (quarantined; not a formal verdict)

Provenance: These leads came from a quarantined review that lacked the required lease. They are not formal findings and not a review verdict. Any tests or observations from that quarantined session are non-authoritative.

A fresh leased reviewer on PR #703 must independently reproduce or reject each lead. If a lead cannot be reproduced, that absence of reproduction must be documented with evidence — it must not be silently dropped.

F1 — Stale-binding recovery ordering

Stale-binding recovery appears to run after the terminal-launcher probe in gitea_resolve_task_capability. A worktree removed during a session may wedge later mutation-task resolution until daemon restart.

F2 — Preflight path existence

_resolve_preflight_workspace_path appears not to verify path existence consistently with mutation context. A missing-path environment binding may produce empty porcelain and bypass dirty-tracked-file preflight.

F3 — orphaned_expired_superseded_head cleanup evidence

orphaned_expired_superseded_head cleanup appears to permit worktree_exists=None and worktree_clean=None, weaker than the sibling orphaned_owner_missing gate and its diagnosis path.

F4 — Session-state TTL vs #702 durability

A four-hour session-state TTL may silently remove crash-orphan shadow evidence, leaving later cleanup permanently fail-closed and potentially undermining #702’s durability acceptance criterion.

F5 — Concurrent same-profile shadow overwrite

Concurrent same-profile sessions may overwrite a single shadow record, producing ambiguous fail-closed state without adequate regression coverage.

F6 — Audit ordering after env clear

Environment state appears to be cleared before the best-effort audit write, creating an audit-ordering weakness.

## CTH: Controller Decision — lease 11131 + non-authoritative review leads Status: lease_11131_expired_cleanup_not_authorized; reviewer_env_still_bound_to_review-pr-654; not_safe_to_launch_fresh_pr_703_reviewer Next owner: user Current blocker: (1) native cleanup of comment-lease 11131 not authorized; (2) GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE still binds reviewer/reconciler runtimes to branches/review-pr-654 Decision: Do not apply obsolete-lease cleanup. Do not launch a PR #703 reviewer until binding is clear and a re-check passes. Mirror of PR #703 controller comment for durable issue thread. Proof: dry-run cleanup_allowed=false; runtime context active_task_workspace_root=review-pr-654 Next action: Operator clears GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE / managed reconnect; controller re-verifies; then fresh leased reviewer on #703 re-evaluates F1–F6. Ready-to-paste prompt: see NEXT_PROMPT. ## Canonical Issue State STATE: controller-reconcile-complete-for-11131-dry-run; cleanup-not-authorized; env-binding-block-remains WHO_IS_NEXT: user NEXT_ACTION: Clear or rebind stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE so reviewer/reconciler runtime no longer points at branches/review-pr-654; controller re-runs dry-run/diagnose; only then launch a fresh leased reviewer for PR #703 who must re-evaluate F1–F6 with evidence NEXT_PROMPT: ```text Role: OPERATOR (user) then CONTROLLER then REVIEWER Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools Issue: #702 | PR: #703 | Related expired lease: PR #701 comment 11131 1. Operator: clear or rebind GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE so no MCP reviewer/reconciler process is bound to branches/review-pr-654; prefer managed reconnect over ad-hoc env edits. 2. Controller/reconciler: re-run gitea_cleanup_obsolete_reviewer_comment_lease(pr=701, apply=false) and gitea_diagnose_reviewer_pr_lease_handoff(701); apply cleanup only if cleanup_allowed=true with controller_recovery_authorized=true and confirmation exactly CLEANUP OBSOLETE REVIEWER LEASE 701. 3. Confirm gitea_get_runtime_context on prgs-reviewer shows workspace not review-pr-654 and binding source is not a stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE to that path. 4. Fresh independent REVIEWER: acquire lease on PR #703 only; independently reproduce or reject F1–F6 with evidence; never treat quarantined leads as findings; document non-reproduction with evidence. ``` WHAT_HAPPENED: Controller/reconciler ran sanctioned obsolete-lease dry-run after wall-clock expiry of lease 11131. Cleanup not authorized (ambiguous_conflicting_evidence: superseded head without terminal review). Durable assess on #701 shows active_lease null; env binding to review-pr-654 remains on reviewer and reconciler runtimes. Non-authoritative F1–F6 preserved for leased independent re-evaluation. Same lead set posted on PR #703. WHY: Must not bypass native cleanup gates, must not steal/repoint leases, and must not launch review while runtime is still bound to the #701 incident worktree path (review-pr-654). RELATED_PRS: PR #703 (Closes #702). Lease 11131 lived on PR #701 (issue #699). BLOCKERS: GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE still routes active_task_workspace_root to branches/review-pr-654 on prgs-reviewer and prgs-reconciler; obsolete cleanup of 11131 not authorized (cleanup_allowed=false). VALIDATION: - whoami reconciler: sysadmin / prgs-reconciler - dry-run gitea_cleanup_obsolete_reviewer_comment_lease(701): expired=true, cleanup_allowed=false, classification=ambiguous_conflicting_evidence - gitea_assess_reviewer_pr_lease(701): active_lease=null - gitea_assess_reviewer_pr_lease(703): active_lease=null - gitea_list_workflow_leases(role=reviewer): count 0 - gitea_get_runtime_context prgs-reviewer and prgs-reconciler: active_task_workspace_root=.../branches/review-pr-654 via GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE - gitea_whoami + gitea_resolve_task_capability(review_pr) on prgs-reviewer: survives, allowed_in_current_session=true LAST_UPDATED_BY: controller/reconciler (sysadmin / prgs-reconciler) --- ## NON-AUTHORITATIVE REVIEW LEADS (quarantined; not a formal verdict) **Provenance:** These leads came from a **quarantined review that lacked the required lease**. They are **not formal findings** and **not a review verdict**. Any tests or observations from that quarantined session are **non-authoritative**. A **fresh leased reviewer** on PR #703 must **independently reproduce or reject each lead**. If a lead cannot be reproduced, that **absence of reproduction must be documented with evidence** — it must **not** be silently dropped. ### F1 — Stale-binding recovery ordering Stale-binding recovery appears to run after the terminal-launcher probe in `gitea_resolve_task_capability`. A worktree removed during a session may wedge later mutation-task resolution until daemon restart. ### F2 — Preflight path existence `_resolve_preflight_workspace_path` appears not to verify path existence consistently with mutation context. A missing-path environment binding may produce empty porcelain and bypass dirty-tracked-file preflight. ### F3 — orphaned_expired_superseded_head cleanup evidence `orphaned_expired_superseded_head` cleanup appears to permit `worktree_exists=None` and `worktree_clean=None`, weaker than the sibling `orphaned_owner_missing` gate and its diagnosis path. ### F4 — Session-state TTL vs #702 durability A four-hour session-state TTL may silently remove crash-orphan shadow evidence, leaving later cleanup permanently fail-closed and potentially undermining #702’s durability acceptance criterion. ### F5 — Concurrent same-profile shadow overwrite Concurrent same-profile sessions may overwrite a single shadow record, producing ambiguous fail-closed state without adequate regression coverage. ### F6 — Audit ordering after env clear Environment state appears to be cleared before the best-effort audit write, creating an audit-ordering weakness.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #702 / PR #703 environment — durable root-cause finding: repository-root .env injected stale workspace binding

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: no server-side state changed by this finding; PR #703 remains in open state and no review verdict has been recorded via the review API.
  • Local verdict/state: reviewer namespace runtime now reports a neutral workspace binding (active_task_workspace_root = MCP server process root); neither branches/review-pr-654 nor branches/review-pr-538 appears anywhere in the runtime context; the control-plane DB lists zero active reviewer leases.
  • Latest known validation: gitea_get_runtime_context on freshly spawned mcp_server.py processes (2026-07-13 ~15:44 local) shows workspace_binding_source "MCP server process root (default)".

What changed:

  • Root cause identified for the stale review-pr-654 binding that survived every reconnect and process restart: the repository-root .env file contained GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE=<repo>/branches/review-pr-654. gitea_auth.py calls load_dotenv(PROJECT_ROOT/.env) at import time, injecting the variable into os.environ after process start — invisible to exec-time process-environment inspection and applied to every namespace on every spawn, because GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE outranks the role-specific worktree variables in namespace_workspace_binding.resolve_namespace_workspace.
  • Local cleanup performed: the .env entry was removed; the static GITEA_REVIEWER_WORKTREE=branches/review-pr-538 binding was removed from the client MCP configuration; all four MCP server processes were restarted and re-verified.
  • Durable defect statement: repository .env loading must not be allowed to inject or override runtime workspace-binding variables (GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE, GITEA_*_WORKTREE). Without a code-level guard in the dotenv/auth load path, any future stale .env recreates this same failure even after local cleanup.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: no blocker
  • Fresh reviewer work on PR #703 may proceed once a reviewer session creates its own PR #703 worktree and acquires its own lease.

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: reviewer
  • Required action: fresh reviewer session creates its own PR #703 worktree, acquires its own reviewer lease, re-pins the live head, then performs the formal review of PR #703.
  • Do not do: do not pre-bind the reviewer namespace to any static worktree; do not reuse the review-pr-654 or review-pr-538 worktrees; do not reintroduce GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE via any .env file.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
root-cause-documented; environment cleanup complete; PR #703 awaiting fresh review

WHO_IS_NEXT:
reviewer

NEXT_ACTION:
Fresh reviewer session: create own PR #703 worktree, acquire reviewer lease, re-pin live head, then perform the formal review of PR #703.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Act as REVIEWER for PR #703 (prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools). Verify runtime context first: workspace binding must be neutral (no review-pr-654, no review-pr-538) with zero active reviewer leases. Then create a fresh worktree for PR #703, acquire the reviewer lease, re-pin the live head, and perform the formal review.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Stale reviewer workspace binding to branches/review-pr-654 persisted across reconnects. Root cause: repository-root .env set GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE, loaded by gitea_auth.py load_dotenv at import, overriding role-specific bindings for all namespaces on every process spawn. The .env entry was removed, the static reviewer worktree binding was removed from the client MCP configuration, and the MCP processes were restarted; the runtime now reports a neutral binding and zero active reviewer leases.

WHY:
GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE outranks role-specific worktree env vars in namespace_workspace_binding.resolve_namespace_workspace, and dotenv injection happens after process start, so process-environment inspection and reconnects could neither detect nor clear it.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (fix for issue #702; remains in open state awaiting fresh review)

CTH: Controller Decision — #702 AC boundary vs #704 (do not defer #702 ACs)

Status: #702_acceptance_surface_unchanged; dotenv_load_path_is_#704_follow_up; PR_#703_reviewed_against_#702_only
Next owner: reviewer (PR #703)
Current blocker: none introduced by this decision
Decision: #702 ACs remain fully on PR #703 (plus #701 for auth). Repository .env injection prevention is exclusive to #704 and is not a silent deferral of any #702 AC. See Issue #704 dependency CTH (comment 11202) for full matrix.
Proof: #702 acceptance criteria text; PR #703 scope; comments 11191 (this issue) and 11193 (PR #703); Issue #704 filed for load-path guard.
Next action: Fresh leased formal review of PR #703 against #702 AC2+AC3 only; re-derive F1–F6 under #702 if reproduced; implement #704 separately.

IN SCOPE: process-env stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE recovery (any source once in os.environ), missing-path demotion, crash-orphan lease recovery, F1–F6 if independently reproduced as #702 gaps.
OUT OF SCOPE for #702 close: gitea_auth load_dotenv blocking GITEA_*_WORKTREE from repository .env (#704).
Do not APPROVE by deferring a failed #702 AC to #704.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #702 — PR #703 author remediation of F1–F6 landed at new head c2fc2683b97e; awaiting completely fresh leased re-review

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: the branch push is the only server-side state change from this session; PR #703 remains in open state at new live head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc; the formal REQUEST_CHANGES verdict recorded at 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac is flagged stale by the review API (review_feedback_stale=true, author_pushed_after_request_changes=true) and remains undismissed until a fresh verdict lands.
  • Local verdict/state: author remediation for all six reviewed findings committed as c2fc268 on fix/issue-702-stale-binding-lease-recovery; no review verdict recorded, no merge attempted, PR #701/#696 untouched.
  • Latest known validation: at c2fc268 — 30 new F1–F6 regression tests passed; related suites 130 passed; full suite 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed (-q -s); compile and diff secret scan clean.

What changed:

  • F1 recovery ordering: sanctioned stale-binding recovery now precedes the terminal launcher probe in gitea_resolve_task_capability; deleted-worktree sessions recover instead of wedging on 'missing cwd'; fail-closed classification preserved and unverified bindings never cleared.
  • F2 path verification: preflight resolution now applies the mutation context's verify_paths existence checks, and workspace porcelain returns a tracked-dirty sentinel when the workspace is missing or git fails — never empty porcelain or a clean-workspace result; downstream guards retained.
  • F3 cleanup evidence: orphaned_expired_superseded_head requires affirmative safe worktree evidence (clean=true or exists=false), aligned with the stricter sibling gate and diagnosis; unknown evidence fails closed.
  • F4 crash-shadow durability: recovery-critical kinds are exempt from the 4-hour TTL and persist until terminally reconciled by a sanctioned clear; boundary coverage before/at/after the former TTL.
  • F5 concurrent sessions: shadows keyed by lease session id (collision-safe identity, enumerable via list_states); interleaving and reconnect tests prove no overwrite or misattribution; legacy records readable.
  • F6 audit ordering: durable audit persists before the environment clears; audit-write failure means no clear, reported explicitly; failure/retry/idempotence/ordering tested.
  • Scope boundary honored: #704 dotenv load-path prevention excluded, per comments 11208/11212.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: no blocker
  • Formal re-review has not started; it requires a completely fresh reviewer session with its own worktree and lease.

Canonical Issue State

WHO_IS_NEXT:
reviewer

NEXT_ACTION:
Completely fresh prgs-reviewer session: own worktree + own lease first, re-pin live head c2fc2683b9, formal re-review of PR #703 against Issue #702 AC2/AC3 verifying the F1–F6 fixes.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Act as REVIEWER for PR #703 (prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools), Issue #702.
1. Verify neutral runtime binding (no review-pr-654 / review-pr-538) and zero active reviewer leases.
2. Create a fresh PR #703 worktree and acquire the reviewer lease BEFORE any reading or validation.
3. Re-pin the live head (expect c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc) and review the F1–F6 remediation against #702 AC2/AC3 only; #704 dotenv load-path prevention is out of scope.
4. Record exactly one formal verdict via the native review API under the held lease. Do not merge.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Author session resumed PR #703 from the formal REQUEST_CHANGES at 889931d, fixed F1–F6 in the issue-backed author worktree, added 30 regression tests, ran focused/related/full validation (2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests), pushed new head c2fc268, and posted the PR-side handoff as PR #703 comment 11257.

WHY:
F1/F3/F4/F5 were confirmed #702 AC2/AC3 blockers, F2 partial, F6 an audit-ordering defect; the remediation restores the fail-closed, durable, concurrency-correct guarantees the review demanded without absorbing #704 scope.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (implementation, new head c2fc268, prior verdict stale/undismissed); PR #701 (still gated behind this track landing); PR #704 track separate.

BLOCKERS:
None for the re-review path — no blocker. The stale REQUEST_CHANGES stays authoritative until a fresh leased reviewer records a new verdict at the new head.

VALIDATION:
Review API read-back after push: pr_state=open, current_head_sha=c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc, review_feedback_stale=true, author_pushed_after_request_changes=true. Local: full suite 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed at c2fc268.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] Issue #702 — PR #703 author remediation of F1–F6 landed at new head c2fc2683b97e; awaiting completely fresh leased re-review What is true now: - Server-side decision state: the branch push is the only server-side state change from this session; PR #703 remains in open state at new live head `c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc`; the formal REQUEST_CHANGES verdict recorded at `889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac` is flagged stale by the review API (`review_feedback_stale=true`, `author_pushed_after_request_changes=true`) and remains undismissed until a fresh verdict lands. - Local verdict/state: author remediation for all six reviewed findings committed as `c2fc268` on `fix/issue-702-stale-binding-lease-recovery`; no review verdict recorded, no merge attempted, PR #701/#696 untouched. - Latest known validation: at `c2fc268` — 30 new F1–F6 regression tests passed; related suites 130 passed; full suite 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed (`-q -s`); compile and diff secret scan clean. What changed: - F1 recovery ordering: sanctioned stale-binding recovery now precedes the terminal launcher probe in `gitea_resolve_task_capability`; deleted-worktree sessions recover instead of wedging on 'missing cwd'; fail-closed classification preserved and unverified bindings never cleared. - F2 path verification: preflight resolution now applies the mutation context's `verify_paths` existence checks, and workspace porcelain returns a tracked-dirty sentinel when the workspace is missing or git fails — never empty porcelain or a clean-workspace result; downstream guards retained. - F3 cleanup evidence: `orphaned_expired_superseded_head` requires affirmative safe worktree evidence (clean=true or exists=false), aligned with the stricter sibling gate and diagnosis; unknown evidence fails closed. - F4 crash-shadow durability: recovery-critical kinds are exempt from the 4-hour TTL and persist until terminally reconciled by a sanctioned clear; boundary coverage before/at/after the former TTL. - F5 concurrent sessions: shadows keyed by lease session id (collision-safe identity, enumerable via `list_states`); interleaving and reconnect tests prove no overwrite or misattribution; legacy records readable. - F6 audit ordering: durable audit persists before the environment clears; audit-write failure means no clear, reported explicitly; failure/retry/idempotence/ordering tested. - Scope boundary honored: #704 dotenv load-path prevention excluded, per comments 11208/11212. What is blocked: - Blocker classification: no blocker - Formal re-review has not started; it requires a completely fresh reviewer session with its own worktree and lease. Who/what acts next: - Next actor: reviewer - Required action: completely fresh prgs-reviewer session — own PR #703 worktree, own lease acquired FIRST, re-pin live head `c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc`, formal re-review against #702 AC2/AC3 verifying each F1–F6 fix. - Do not do: do not treat this author validation as review authority; do not reuse prior worktrees or leases; do not merge; do not review PR #701 or PR #696 in that session; do not expand scope to #704. ## Canonical Issue State STATE: pr-703-remediation-pushed-awaiting-fresh-re-review WHO_IS_NEXT: reviewer NEXT_ACTION: Completely fresh prgs-reviewer session: own worktree + own lease first, re-pin live head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc, formal re-review of PR #703 against Issue #702 AC2/AC3 verifying the F1–F6 fixes.

Current blocker: gitea_validate_review_final_report returned grade=blocked against the canonical review report and cannot be bypassed.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
pr-703-re-review-blocked-final-report-validator-schema-drift

WHO_IS_NEXT:
controller

NEXT_ACTION:
Repair or deploy the final-report validator so it accepts the loaded review schema a7634e7b8689 and does not require forbidden legacy fields; then start a completely fresh PR #703 reviewer session from the beginning.

NEXT_PROMPT:

After the final-report validator is repaired, restart the complete PR #703 / Issue #702 re-review workflow at the then-live full head SHA. Use a fresh worktree and lease, independently validate the cumulative diff, and do not reuse this session's unsubmitted decision state.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Fresh reviewer session 48311-bc9067f4c07f pinned PR #703 at c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc, used a fresh detached worktree, maintained its lease, reviewed the cumulative diff, and completed focused, related, adversarial, and full validation. Immediately before the formal verdict, the mandatory final-report validator returned blocked. No formal review verdict was submitted and no merge was attempted.

WHY:
The validator demanded legacy fields that the loaded workflow explicitly forbids (Pinned reviewed head, Scratch worktree used, and generic Mutations), falsely reported that a review mutation had already occurred even though none had, and failed to recognize workflow-hash/boundary and exact validation proof present in the draft. Continuing would bypass an explicit tooling stop condition.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 is the only reviewed PR in this session. PR #701 and PR #696 were not reviewed or mutated. Issue #704 dotenv prevention remained outside the review scope.

BLOCKERS:
Unblock condition: repair and deploy the final-report validator so the canonical schema a7634e7b8689 validates without forbidden legacy fields or false mutation claims; after that, a fresh reviewer must restart the full PR #703 workflow.

VALIDATION:
Focused: 80 passed. Related: 41 passed. Full: 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed. Compile, diff, scope, secret-marker, and artifact checks passed. Adversarial probes reproduced live-symlink clean acceptance, crash-shadow non-reconciliation, session-key collision/misattribution, pending-audit non-reconciliation, and path/error leakage.

Status: tooling_remediation_hold; #698_immediate_priority; no_formal_verdict_at_c2fc268; author_remediation_only_from_ratified_findings
Next owner: author
Current blocker: (1) Issue #698 final-report validator blocks formal current-head verdict; (2) residual F2/F4/F5/F6 on head c2fc268 lack durable independent file:line addendum after author remediation
Decision: Place PR #703 / Issue #702 on a tooling/remediation hold. This comment is a controller decision, not a formal Gitea review verdict (APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES).
Proof: comment 11277 (blocker); comment 11282 (lease release); live API head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc; review_feedback_stale=true for prior REQUEST_CHANGES at 889931d…; assess lease null; workflow leases reviewer count=0; #698 comment 11284.
Next action: Author implements #698 first; may perform product remediation on PR #703 only from controller-ratified findings below; no new reviewer session until repaired #698 validator is merged and active.
Ready-to-paste prompt: see NEXT_PROMPT.

1) Controller confirmation (live read-back)

Check Result
Formal review at current head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc None — only stale REQUEST_CHANGES at 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac
Active / in-session reviewer lease on #703 None (active_lease=null, session_lease=null)
Control-plane active reviewer leases 0
Validation completed under properly held lease Yes — session 48311-bc9067f4c07f per 11277; released at 11282
Formal submission blocked only by final-report validation Yes — gitea_validate_review_final_report grade=blocked; no bypass

2) Controller-ratified product findings (from formal review at 889931d — still binding for remediation until independently re-proven at c2fc268)

This is NOT a formal verdict at c2fc268. It ratifies remediation work the author may perform from durable formal evidence (original review body + handoffs 11234/11239) and from 11277 process facts.

ID Prior formal disposition (at 889931d) Required fix (preserve exact evidence) Status at c2fc268
F1 Confirmed AC2 blocker: recovery after terminal cwd probe (gitea_mcp_server.py:11677-11719 vs recovery :11889-11895) Recovery before terminal probe; deleted-worktree must not wedge Author claims fixed in c2fc268 (11257/11262); not formally re-proven (verdict blocked by #698)
F2 Partially confirmed: _resolve_preflight_workspace_path lacked verify_paths=True; empty porcelain on missing path; mutation demoted later Align preflight with mutation verify_paths; never empty/clean porcelain on uninspectable path; integration regression Author claims fixed; 11277 lacks file:line residual detail → addendum required for residual claim
F3 Confirmed AC3: orphaned_expired_superseded_head accepts worktree facts None (reviewer_pr_lease.py:986-1008) Require affirmative clean/absent evidence Author claims fixed; not formally re-proven
F4 Confirmed AC3: 4h TTL drops crash shadow Persist recovery-critical shadow until sanctioned clear Author claims fixed; 11277 adversarial “crash-shadow non-reconciliation” is insufficient alone without durable method → addendum required
F5 Confirmed: single profile-keyed shadow overwrite Session-id keying; no cross-session overwrite Author claims fixed; 11277 “session-key collision/misattribution” → addendum required
F6 Confirmed: clear env before audit; swallow audit failure Audit before clear; audit failure ⇒ no clear Author claims fixed; 11277 “pending-audit non-reconciliation” → addendum required

3) F2 / F4 / F5 / F6 disposition (controller)

  • Sufficient for hold + remediation authorization: original formal independent reproduction at 889931d remains the last full durable evidence set; author pushed claimed fixes at c2fc268.
  • Insufficient in 11277 alone for new residual findings: 11277 documents the #698 tooling stop and a short adversarial phrase list, but does not provide durable file:line residual re-proof of F2/F4/F5/F6 against c2fc268. Controller does not invent residual FAIL/PASS from chat history.
  • Required next proof artifact: durable evidence addendum (issue or PR comment) after #698 lands, from a leased re-review, mapping each of F2/F4/F5/F6 to pass/fail with commands, paths, and expected/actual — or author self-attest with native-reproducible tests only as non-authority leads.

4) Hold rules

  1. No formal current-head verdict exists — do not treat stale REQUEST_CHANGES as authority for c2fc268.
  2. Author remediation on #703 may proceed only from controller-ratified findings (table above) and later ratified residual addenda — not from unlicensed chat.
  3. No new reviewer may start until Issue #698 repaired validator is merged and active in managed namespaces.
  4. #698 is immediate priority (see #698 comment 11284).

Current blocker: the prior reviewer execution left durable lease comment 11370 active for session 3157-b48334241c03, while the current native reviewer session has no matching in-session lease and cannot prove the former owner process dead.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
pr-703-review-blocked-by-foreign-active-comment-lease-without-owner-proof

WHO_IS_NEXT:
controller

NEXT_ACTION:
Honor the lease through its canonical lifetime, then use only the sanctioned diagnose/recovery path. After the lease is canonically available, launch a completely fresh reviewer session with its own isolated branches/ worktree and lease, re-pin the live head, rerun independent validation, submit one formal verdict, and read it back.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: CONTROLLER / RECONCILER recovery for PR #703 and Issue #702.
1. Reassess reviewer lease comment 11370 only through the native lease diagnosis tools.
2. While it is active, wait; do not infer ownership from PID, steal, repoint, seed, or manually release it.
3. After canonical expiry, perform only the exact sanctioned recovery action returned by diagnosis.
4. Once no lease blocker remains, start a completely fresh prgs-reviewer session with a new isolated branches/ worktree and lease; re-pin the then-live head, rerun the review from the beginning, submit one formal verdict via gitea_submit_pr_review, and read it back.
5. Do not merge.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
A fresh native preflight read PR #703 at head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc. Formal review read-back shows only the earlier undismissed but stale REQUEST_CHANGES at 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac; approval_visible=false and approval_at_current_head=false. Lease assessment found active comment lease 11370 on branches/review-pr-703, phase claimed, with session_lease=null. The authoritative handoff diagnosis classified it foreign_active, mutation_eligibility=prohibited, exact next action wait; owner-process status is unknown and PID is explicitly not ownership proof. The control-plane workflow-lease DB returned zero reviewer leases, so it cannot supply owner-death proof or safe adoption.

WHY:
The terminated prior execution is not resumable from this session, and native evidence cannot prove its lease owner dead. Manual release, steal, repoint, PID inference, state editing, or direct API fallback would violate the canonical recovery boundary.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 only. PR #701 is related historically through Issue #702 but was not reviewed or mutated in this run.

BLOCKERS:
Active lease comment 11370 remains fresh until 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z; current session id differs; no sanctioned cleanup or release is authorized while diagnosis says wait.

VALIDATION:
Read-only state only. Root checkout remained clean on master at cc3ad0870aab9829cbe28cd869a283beeb37991d. Existing leased worktree branches/review-pr-703 was observed clean at the current PR head but was not modified or reused. No tests, fetch, worktree creation/removal, review decision, formal review submission, merge, lease release, or lease steal occurred.

SECURITY CONTAINMENT:
Incident #700 durably records that all implicated exposed credentials were revoked and replacement Keychain entries installed. Current native gitea_whoami succeeds as sysadmin / prgs-reviewer using Keychain-backed authentication. No credential value was read or reproduced.

LAST_UPDATED_BY:
sysadmin / prgs-reviewer

CTH: Controller/Reconciler — PR #703 lease 11370 foreign_active → WAIT

Status: lease_11370_active; next_action_wait; no_review_no_merge_from_controller
Next owner: user (wait for expiry), then reconciler re-diagnose, then fresh reviewer
Current blocker: PR #703 comment-backed reviewer lease 11370 still active
Decision: Honor native diagnosis next_action=wait. Do not steal/release/cleanup lease 11370 pre-expiry. Residual #698 nested validator crash is tracked on Issue #698 comment 11375, not here.
Proof: PR #703 CTH comment 11379; diagnose/assess of lease 11370.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
awaiting_pr_703_lease_11370_expiry_then_fresh_reviewer

WHO_IS_NEXT:
user

NEXT_ACTION:
Wait until after 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z; reconciler re-diagnoses lease 11370; if clear, start fresh prgs-reviewer on PR #703 with own lease + live head pin (see PR #703 comment 11379 NEXT_PROMPT).

NEXT_PROMPT:

See PR #703 comment 11379 NEXT_PROMPT (fresh prgs-reviewer after lease 11370 expiry + re-diagnose).

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Controller reassessed PR #703 lease 11370; lease still foreign_active until 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z; recovery action is wait; control-plane DB has 0 active leases; comment lease remains the gate; no formal review/merge performed.

WHY:
Native tooling requires wait for foreign active leases; PID is not ownership proof; formal review authority requires a fresh leased reviewer after disposition.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (Closes #702); Issue #698 residual (validator, separate).
