Summary

Closes #702. An unhandled daemon crash skips graceful teardown: the durable reviewer lease comment survives, the in-memory _SESSION_LEASE dies with the process, and the auto-reconnected daemon inherits a stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE from its parent environment (the PR #701 / branches/review-pr-654 incident, lease comment 11131, session 65664-4f248d213d60).

Changes

AC2 — safely clear or re-bind stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE

File Role
stale_binding_recovery.py (new) Pure classification of the active env binding: corroborated / unverified_inherited / provably_stale_missing_path / superseded_by_session_lease; fail-closed recovery plan; apply_recovery clears the env var only for the two provably-stale classes
gitea_mcp_server.py Boot snapshot of inherited bindings; sanctioned recovery runs at daemon boot and during gitea_resolve_task_capability (durable audit via session state, KIND_STALE_BINDING_RECOVERY); runtime context surfaces the classification read-only; uncorroborated inherited bindings get an exact managed-reconnect next action, never a silent clear
namespace_workspace_binding.py resolve_namespace_workspace(verify_paths=…) demotes env-bound worktrees whose path no longer exists (recorded in ignored_bindings); mutation-guard and runtime-context resolution always verify; explicit worktree_path arguments are never demoted

AC3 — lease cleanup executed or recoverable after unexpected exit

File Role
reviewer_pr_lease.py Durable session-lease shadow (KIND_REVIEWER_SESSION_LEASE) written on sanctioned record/heartbeat, removed on sanctioned clear — a crash leaves provable orphan evidence (owner pid + session id). assess_crashed_session_lease_orphan derives tri-state owner_process_alive (only a dead recorded owner pid proves exit; PID liveness is never ownership). New classification orphaned_expired_superseded_head: an expired superseded-head lease with no terminal review no longer yields a permanent ambiguous/wait — post-expiry it unlocks fresh acquisition, and guarded cleanup becomes eligible only with owner-exit evidence + clean/absent worktree + controller authorization + exact confirmation. Pre-expiry behavior unchanged (fail-closed wait, no steal).
mcp_session_state.py Two new durable kinds (additive)
gitea_mcp_server.py Diagnose/cleanup wrappers consume the shadow instead of hardcoding owner_process_alive=None

Tests

  • tests/test_issue_702_stale_binding_lease_recovery.py — 29 tests over the five mandated scenarios: lost in-session leases, old-head leases, runtime/worktree mismatch, managed reconnect, safe expiry
  • tests/test_issue_691_obsolete_reviewer_lease_cleanup.py — one test updated for the intentional behavior change (expired + superseded + no terminal review now classifies orphaned_expired_superseded_head; still denied without provable owner-exit evidence; pre-expiry ambiguous branch asserted in place)

Validation

cd branches/fix-issue-702-stale-binding-lease-recovery
venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_issue_702_stale_binding_lease_recovery.py -q
# 29 passed
venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -q -s

Note: the full-suite run uses -s in this environment because pytest capture plus keychain access at import of the CLI-script test modules (tests/test_create_issue.py cohort) dies or hangs in the sandboxed shell — reproduced on an unmodified master worktree (branches/issue-695-mcp-provenance-hardening @ 2376567), so it is pre-existing and not introduced here.

Explicit non-goals

  • Does not steal, transfer, adopt, repoint, or rewrite any lease
  • Does not weaken pre-expiry fail-closed wait for superseded-head leases
  • Does not auto-rebind to a guessed worktree; uncorroborated bindings require the managed reconnect path
  • Does not touch PR #701 review state

jcwalker3 added 1 commit 2026-07-13 13:36:45 -05:00
An unhandled daemon crash skips teardown: the durable reviewer lease
comment survives, the in-memory session lease dies, and the
auto-reconnected daemon inherits a stale GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE from its
parent environment (PR #701 / branches/review-pr-654 incident).

AC2 — safe clear/re-bind of stale bindings:
- new stale_binding_recovery.py: classifies the active env binding
  (corroborated / unverified_inherited / provably_stale_missing_path /
  superseded_by_session_lease) and produces a fail-closed recovery plan;
  only provably stale bindings are clear-eligible
- gitea_resolve_task_capability and daemon boot run the sanctioned
  recovery (durable audit via session state); runtime context surfaces
  the classification read-only
- namespace_workspace_binding.resolve_namespace_workspace(verify_paths=…)
  demotes env-bound worktrees whose path no longer exists; mutation and
  runtime-context resolution always verify

AC3 — recoverable lease cleanup after unexpected exit:
- durable session-lease shadow (KIND_REVIEWER_SESSION_LEASE) written on
  sanctioned record/heartbeat, removed on sanctioned clear; a crash
  leaves provable orphan evidence (owner pid + session id)
- assess_crashed_session_lease_orphan derives tri-state
  owner_process_alive: only a dead recorded owner pid proves exit; PID
  liveness is never ownership proof
- diagnose/cleanup wrappers consume the shadow instead of passing
  owner_process_alive=None
- new classification orphaned_expired_superseded_head: an expired
  superseded-head lease with no terminal review stops being a permanent
  ambiguous/wait; post-expiry it unlocks fresh acquisition, and guarded
  cleanup becomes eligible only with owner-exit evidence + clean/absent
  worktree + controller authorization + confirmation. Pre-expiry
  behavior is unchanged (fail-closed wait, no steal).

Validation: tests/test_issue_702_stale_binding_lease_recovery.py (29
tests covering lost in-session leases, old-head leases, runtime/worktree
mismatch, managed reconnect, safe expiry); full suite 2665 passed,
6 skipped, 161 subtests.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] PR #703 — non-formal blocker handoff: prior validation pass ran without a reviewer lease and is non-authoritative; no formal verdict exists at head 889931d

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: no server-side review or merge state changed by this comment; the review API shows zero reviews for PR #703 (approval_visible=false, has_blocking_change_requests=false, latest_reviewed_head_sha=null); no formal verdict exists at the current head 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac.
  • Local verdict/state: NON-AUTHORITATIVE. A review/validation pass against this PR was performed by a session that did not hold a valid in-session reviewer lease at the time of the work. That pass carries no review authority, records no verdict, and must not be legalized retroactively by acquiring a lease after the fact. Its six findings, labeled F1–F6, are treated strictly as reproducible leads that require fresh independent confirmation by a properly leased reviewer.
  • Latest known validation: review worktree branches/review-pr-703 confirmed clean (git status --porcelain empty) and detached at the pinned head 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac, which matches the live PR head read back from the review API immediately before this comment.

What changed:

  • This handoff records the lease-discipline violation and quarantines the unlicensed validation pass as non-authoritative; nothing else changed — no lease was acquired, reconciled, or released; no verdict was recorded; no source was edited.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: queue/lease blocker
  • Formal review of PR #703 is gated on two steps in order: (1) reviewer lease 11131 (session 65664-4f248d213d60, PR #701 scope) must reach canonical expiry (2026-07-13T19:16:41Z) and then be handled by a controller/reconciler — not by any reviewer-role session; (2) a completely fresh reviewer session must acquire its own PR #703 lease BEFORE reading, reviewing, or validating anything.

Who/what acts next:

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

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
awaiting-fresh-reviewer-lease

WHO_IS_NEXT:
reconciler

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

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: RECONCILER (prgs-reconciler), then a fresh REVIEWER (prgs-reviewer) in a separate new session
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
PR: #703 (live head 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac) | Issue: #702 | 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.
2. Handle its disposition through sanctioned lease tooling only; no reviewer-role session touches it.

FRESH REVIEWER (new session, after lease 11131 disposition):
1. gitea_whoami + gitea_resolve_task_capability(review_pr) on prgs-reviewer; pass an explicit worktree_path; acquire the PR #703 reviewer lease FIRST, before any reading or validation.
2. Re-pin the live head; review independently; treat the F1–F6 leads from the non-authoritative pass as unconfirmed — re-derive every finding from scratch.
3. Record the formal verdict via the native review API only under the held lease.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
A session performed review and validation work on PR #703 before holding a valid in-session reviewer lease; the work is quarantined as non-authoritative, its F1–F6 findings survive only as leads, and the review worktree was confirmed clean at the pinned head with no lease, verdict, or source mutations from this session.

WHY:
Review authority derives from the lease discipline, not from the quality of the analysis; acquiring a lease after validation would legalize unlicensed work and defeat the anti-stomp guarantees.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (this PR, open, head 889931d, zero reviews); PR #701 (open, head 6b675f5, no formal review, gated behind #702/#703 landing); PR #696 (separate security-hold track, untouched).

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

VALIDATION:
Review API read-back immediately before this comment: pr_state=open, current_head_sha=889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac, reviews=[]; worktree branches/review-pr-703 clean and detached at the same SHA; F1–F6 remain unconfirmed leads pending the fresh leased review.

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.

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).

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.

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. 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] PR #703 (fix for issue #702) 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)

BLOCKERS:
None — no blocker for the review path. Follow-up hardening required: guard runtime workspace-binding variables against .env injection in the dotenv/auth load path.

CTH: Controller Decision — formal review scope for PR #703 (#702 vs #704)

Status: review_scope_locked_to_issue_702; dotenv_prevention_out_of_scope_for_this_PR; #704_is_immediate_follow_up_not_merge_gate
Next owner: reviewer
Current blocker: none for scope decision (formal leased review still required)
Decision: PR #703 must not be required to implement repository .env / load_dotenv workspace-binding injection guards to satisfy #702. Those guards are #704-only. PR #703 must still fully meet #702 AC2+AC3; any confirmed recovery/preflight/lease gap stays on this PR and must not be deferred to #704 because #704 exists. Comments 11191/11193: operational dotenv cleanup done; review path unblocked for environment reasons. Full matrix on Issue #704 comment 11202.
Proof: Issue #702 ACs; this PR body AC2/AC3 + non-goals; Issue #704 AC11 answer (comment 11202); comments 11191, 11193.
Next action: Fresh reviewer session with own worktree + lease; re-pin live head; review against #702 only; re-evaluate F1–F6 with evidence.
Ready-to-paste prompt: see NEXT_PROMPT.

Reviewer checklist (scope)

Topic #703 / #702? #704?
Clear/re-bind stale process-env GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE Yes No
Missing-path demotion / no unsafe use of dead binding Yes Preventative only
Crash-orphan lease shadow/recovery Yes No
Block .env from injecting GITEA_*_WORKTREE at import No Yes
Reserved dotenv keys ignored/rejected, no value logging No Yes
F1–F6 leads if reproduced as recovery/lease defects Yes No

Must PR #703 change for #702?

  • Not for dotenv load-path prevention.
  • Yes if formal review finds #702 AC failures (including independently confirmed F1–F6).

#701 resume

#704 merge is not required before #701 review can safely resume. #701 remains behind clean runtime (done per 11193) and this #702/#703 track landing per prior CTHs.

WHO_IS_NEXT:
reviewer

NEXT_ACTION:
Create fresh PR #703 worktree, acquire reviewer lease first, re-pin live head, formal review vs #702 ACs only.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Act as REVIEWER for PR #703 (prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools).
1. Confirm neutral runtime (no review-pr-654 / review-pr-538 binding).
2. Fresh worktree + acquire PR #703 lease BEFORE validation.
3. Judge only Issue #702 AC2+AC3 (+ AC1 already on #701).
4. Re-derive F1–F6; document non-reproduction with evidence; never treat quarantined leads as verdict.
5. Do NOT request #704 dotenv load-path work as a #703 blocking change unless a #702 AC actually fails without it.
6. Do not merge; do not review #701/#696 in this session.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Controller recorded formal-review scope and #704 dependency so reviewers cannot expand or shrink #702 acceptance incorrectly.

WHY:
#704 existence must not silently redefine #702 success criteria on this PR.

RELATED_PRS:

NEXT_ACTION:
Fix the independently reproduced #702 AC2/AC3 defects F1, F3, F4, and F5; align/test the F2 preflight path; make F6 audit persistence failure explicit and safe; push a new head for fresh review.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Address PR #703 review at head 889931d5532b32a46a181e03c1345946c7516aac. Fix F1/F3/F4/F5 as blocking #702 AC2/AC3 defects, add regression coverage for F2 and F6, keep #704 dotenv load-path prevention out of this PR, then request a completely fresh leased re-review at the new head.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
A fresh independent prgs-reviewer session acquired lease 82984-6ca5668fcaca before code review, validated the untouched pinned head, and independently reproduced or narrowed F1-F6.

WHY:
The implementation leaves capability-resolution recovery unreachable for a deleted active worktree and does not preserve safe, durable, concurrency-correct crash-orphan cleanup evidence.

BLOCKERS:
F1, F3, F4, and F5 are independently reproduced #702 AC2/AC3 blockers. F2 is partially reproduced with downstream mitigation; F6 is reproduced as an audit-ordering defect.

Independent reproduction details

  1. F1 confirmed — blocker (AC2). gitea_resolve_task_capability probes GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE as its terminal cwd at gitea_mcp_server.py:11677-11719, but stale-binding recovery does not run until :11889-11895. With a removed worktree, the resolver returned missing cwd before recovery, left the stale env binding intact, and emitted no recovery report.

  2. F2 partially confirmed. _resolve_preflight_workspace_path at :334-345 does not set verify_paths=True; the adversarial run resolved the deleted path and returned empty porcelain, while canonical mutation context demoted it to the valid reviewer worktree. I did not reproduce an end-to-end mutation bypass because later mutation/root guards mitigate it, but preflight remains inconsistent and lacks this integration test.

  3. F3 confirmed — blocker (AC3 safety). The orphaned_expired_superseded_head branch at reviewer_pr_lease.py:986-1008 accepts owner_process_alive=False without requiring worktree_clean=True or worktree_exists=False. The direct assessor returned cleanup_allowed=true with both worktree facts None, while diagnosis correctly requires clean/absent evidence at :1348-1364.

  4. F4 confirmed — blocker (AC3 durability). The crash shadow uses generic session state with a four-hour TTL (mcp_session_state.py:29,249-313). After five hours it loads as no evidence, so owner-exit proof required for cleanup disappears while the durable lease comment remains.

  5. F5 confirmed — blocker (parallel recovery). state_key at mcp_session_state.py:91-115 keys the shadow only by kind + profile. Concurrent prgs-reviewer sessions both map to reviewer_session_lease-prgs-reviewer, so a later heartbeat overwrites earlier crash evidence.

  6. F6 confirmed. _assess_stale_active_binding clears the env at gitea_mcp_server.py:301-303, then best-effort saves audit state and swallows failure at :304-317. An injected save failure produced recovery_performed=true with the env absent and no durable audit.

Issue #704's repository-dotenv/load-path prevention was not used as a blocker.

jcwalker3 added 1 commit 2026-07-13 15:41:10 -05:00
Fixes the six defects from the formal REQUEST_CHANGES review at
889931d553:

- F1: run sanctioned stale-binding recovery in
  gitea_resolve_task_capability BEFORE the terminal launcher probe, so a
  worktree removed mid-session can no longer wedge mutation resolution on
  'missing cwd' before recovery runs. The fail-closed probe block now also
  carries the binding classification evidence.
- F2: _resolve_preflight_workspace_path resolves with the same
  verify_paths existence checks as the canonical mutation context, and
  _get_workspace_porcelain returns a synthetic tracked-dirty sentinel when
  the workspace is missing or git fails — an uninspectable workspace can
  never read as clean/empty porcelain.
- F3: the orphaned_expired_superseded_head cleanup matrix now requires
  affirmative safe worktree evidence (worktree_clean=true or
  worktree_exists=false), aligned with the sibling orphaned_owner_missing
  gate and the diagnosis path; unknown evidence fails closed.
- F4: reviewer-session-lease shadows and stale-binding audit records are
  recovery-critical kinds exempt from the 4h session-state TTL; they
  persist until a sanctioned clear terminally reconciles them.
- F5: session-lease shadows are keyed by lease session id (collision-safe
  identity) with a list_states enumeration API; concurrent same-profile
  sessions can no longer overwrite or misattribute each other's crash
  evidence. Legacy single-slot records remain readable.
- F6: the durable audit record is persisted (status=pending) BEFORE the
  environment binding is cleared; if audit persistence fails the clear
  does not happen and the failure is reported explicitly.

30 new regression tests cover deleted-worktree recovery ordering, missing/
deleted/symlinked/mid-evaluation path changes, unknown-evidence cleanup,
TTL boundary (before/at/after), interleaved and reconnected concurrent
sessions, and audit-write failure/retry/idempotence/ordering.

Issue #704 dotenv load-path prevention is intentionally NOT included.

Full suite: 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] PR #703 author remediation — F1–F6 addressed, new head c2fc2683b9 pushed, 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 now flagged stale by the review API (review_feedback_stale=true, author_pushed_after_request_changes=true) and remains undismissed.
  • Local verdict/state: author-side remediation for all six reviewed findings is committed on fix/issue-702-stale-binding-lease-recovery as c2fc268 (1 commit atop the reviewed head). No review verdict was recorded and no merge was attempted from this session.
  • Latest known validation: in the issue-backed author worktree at c2fc268 — new focused F1–F6 regression file 30 passed; related suites for the touched modules 130 passed; full suite 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed (-q -s); compile check and diff secret scan clean.

What changed:

  • F1: sanctioned stale-binding recovery now runs inside gitea_resolve_task_capability BEFORE the terminal launcher probe, so a worktree removed mid-session recovers instead of wedging resolution on 'missing cwd'; the fail-closed probe block now carries the binding classification evidence; unverified bindings are still never cleared.
  • F2: _resolve_preflight_workspace_path applies the same verify_paths existence checks as the canonical mutation context, and _get_workspace_porcelain returns a synthetic tracked-dirty sentinel on missing workspace or git failure — an uninspectable workspace can never produce empty porcelain or a clean-workspace result; downstream guards untouched.
  • F3: the orphaned_expired_superseded_head cleanup matrix requires affirmative safe evidence (worktree_clean=true or worktree_exists=false), aligned with the sibling gate and the diagnosis path; unknown evidence fails closed.
  • F4: reviewer-session-lease shadows and stale-binding audit records are recovery-critical kinds exempt from the 4-hour TTL; they persist until a sanctioned clear terminally reconciles them; regression tests cover before/at/after the former boundary.
  • F5: session-lease shadows are keyed by lease session id with a list_states enumeration API; interleaving and reconnect tests prove concurrent same-profile sessions cannot overwrite or misattribute each other's crash evidence; legacy single-slot records stay readable.
  • F6: the durable audit record persists (status pending) BEFORE the environment clears and refreshes to performed after; audit-write failure means no clear, reported explicitly; tests cover failure, retry, idempotence, and ordering.
  • Issue #704 dotenv/load-path prevention is intentionally NOT in this PR, per the recorded scope decision (comments 11208/11212).

What is blocked:

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

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: reviewer
  • Required action: completely fresh prgs-reviewer session — create its own PR #703 worktree, acquire its own reviewer lease FIRST, re-pin the live head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc, then perform the formal re-review against #702 AC2/AC3, verifying each F1–F6 fix with evidence.
  • Do not do: do not reuse this author session or any prior reviewer worktree/lease; do not treat this author validation as review authority; do not merge; do not review PR #701 or PR #696 in that session; do not require #704 dotenv load-path work unless a #702 AC actually fails without it.

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 (recovery ordering, preflight path verification, affirmative cleanup evidence, durable crash-shadow lifecycle, collision-safe shadow identity, audit-before-clear), added 30 regression tests, ran focused/related/full validation, and pushed new head c2fc268.

WHY:
The formal review confirmed F1/F3/F4/F5 as #702 AC2/AC3 blockers with F2 partial and F6 an audit-ordering defect; each fix restores the fail-closed guarantees the review demanded without absorbing #704 scope.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (this PR, new head c2fc268, prior verdict now stale, undismissed); PR #701 and PR #696 untouched by this session; #704 remains the separate dotenv load-path hardening track.

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:
At c2fc268 in the author worktree: tests/test_issue_702_review_findings_f1_f6.py 30 passed; related suites 130 passed; full suite 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed with -q -s; py_compile clean on all touched modules; diff secret scan clean; review API read-back shows current_head_sha=c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc with review_feedback_stale=true.

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 (recovery ordering, preflight path verification, affirmative cleanup evidence, durable crash-shadow lifecycle, collision-safe shadow identity, audit-before-clear), added 30 regression tests, ran focused/related/full validation, and pushed new head c2fc268. WHY: The formal review confirmed F1/F3/F4/F5 as #702 AC2/AC3 blockers with F2 partial and F6 an audit-ordering defect; each fix restores the fail-closed guarantees the review demanded without absorbing #704 scope. RELATED_PRS: PR #703 (this PR, new head c2fc268, prior verdict now stale, undismissed); PR #701 and PR #696 untouched by this session; #704 remains the separate dotenv load-path hardening track. 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: At c2fc268 in the author worktree: tests/test_issue_702_review_findings_f1_f6.py 30 passed; related suites 130 passed; full suite 2695 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed with `-q -s`; py_compile clean on all touched modules; diff secret scan clean; review API read-back shows current_head_sha=c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc with review_feedback_stale=true.

CTH: Controller Decision — tooling/remediation HOLD on PR #703 (NOT a formal review verdict)

Status: tooling_remediation_hold; no_formal_verdict_at_current_head; no_new_reviewer_until_698_active
Next owner: author
Current blocker: Issue #698 final-report validator/schema drift blocks formal verdict submission after leased validation completes
Decision: PR #703 is on tooling/remediation hold. This is a controller decision, not a formal Gitea review verdict.
Proof: live head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc; review API: only REQUEST_CHANGES at stale head 889931d… (review_feedback_stale=true); assess lease null; workflow reviewer leases=0; Issue #702 comments 11277 (blocker) + 11282 (lease release phase=released); Issue #698 comment 11284; Issue #702 controller disposition 11289.
Next action: Author implements #698 immediately. Product fixes on this PR only from controller-ratified F1–F6 (see #702/11289). No new reviewer until #698 is merged and active.
Ready-to-paste prompt: see NEXT_PROMPT.

Hold rules (binding)

  1. No formal current-head verdict exists at c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc.
  2. Author remediation may proceed only from controller-ratified findings (formal review evidence at 889931d for F1–F6 + later durable residual addenda) — not chat-only claims.
  3. No new reviewer may start until the repaired #698 validator is merged and active in managed namespaces.
  4. Stale REQUEST_CHANGES at 889931d is not authority for the current head.
  5. Do not bypass final-report validation.

Controller confirmation (session 48311-bc9067f4c07f)

  • Validation completed under properly held lease (11277).
  • Formal submission blocked only by final-report validation (11277).
  • Lease released (11282).
  • Active lease count now 0.

F2 / F4 / F5 / F6

Full disposition on Issue #702 comment 11289. Summary: prior formal evidence at 889931d remains ratified remediation baseline; author claims at c2fc268 are un-proven formally; 11277 adversarial phrases alone are insufficient for new residual FAIL without durable file:line addendum — request addendum from next leased re-review after #698 lands.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
tooling-remediation-hold; awaiting-698-validator-merge-and-active; no-formal-verdict-at-c2fc268

WHO_IS_NEXT:
author

NEXT_ACTION:
Land Issue #698 first. Optional product remediation on this PR only for ratified F1–F6. Then wait for controller/re-review launch after #698 is active.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: AUTHOR (prgs-author)
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
Hold: PR #703 tooling/remediation hold (controller comment, not formal verdict)
Live PR #703 head: c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc

STEP 1 — IMMEDIATE (blocking all new PR #703 reviewers):
1. Claim Issue #698; create fresh issue-backed worktree under branches/ (never root).
2. Fix final-report validator so schema hash a7634e7b8689 validates without forbidden legacy fields (Pinned reviewed head, Scratch worktree used, Mutations).
3. Accept structured workflow-load and validation proof; do not falsely infer prior review mutation; classify canonical lease release correctly (not post-merge cleanup); non-dict action_log must not crash.
4. Regression tests + full suite; open PR Closes #698; independent review; merge; prove active in managed namespaces.
Evidence: Issue #702 comment 11277; Issue #698 comment 11284.

STEP 2 — OPTIONAL product work on PR #703 only after or parallel without taking a reviewer:
- Apply only controller-ratified F1–F6 fixes from formal review at 889931d and #702 comment 11289.
- Do not expand to #704 dotenv scope.

STEP 3 — FORBIDDEN until #698 is merged and active:
- Do not start a new prgs-reviewer session on PR #703.
- Do not submit or request formal verdict at c2fc268.
- Do not bypass gitea_validate_review_final_report.
- Do not merge PR #703.
- Do not review PR #701 or PR #696 from this workstream.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Controller placed PR #703 on tooling/remediation hold after confirming leased re-review completed validation at c2fc268 but could not submit a formal current-head verdict because of #698 validator/schema drift.

WHY:
Recording a formal verdict requires a working final-report gate; product re-review must not race ahead of that repair.

RELATED_PRS:
This PR (#703). Issue #698 immediate. Issue #702 disposition 11289.

BLOCKERS:
#698 must merge and be active before any new reviewer starts.

VALIDATION:

Nested non-dict crash in _rule_shared_canonical_comment_post_claim still reproducible on master after PR #705; recorded on Issue #698 comment 11375. Do not bypass the final-report validator.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
awaiting_lease_11370_expiry_then_fresh_reviewer

WHO_IS_NEXT:
user

NEXT_ACTION:
Wait until after canonical expiry 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z; reconciler re-runs diagnose/assess; only if active_lease is null and next_action is not wait, launch a completely fresh prgs-reviewer that acquires its own lease, re-pins the then-current head, and reviews in a new isolated worktree.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: REVIEWER (prgs-reviewer) — completely fresh session only
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
PR: #703 | Issue: #702
Precondition: wall clock is past 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z AND a controller/reconciler re-diagnose of lease 11370 shows no active foreign lease (or sanctioned post-expiry disposition completed). Do NOT start if diagnose still says wait/foreign_active.

1. gitea_whoami + gitea_resolve_task_capability(review_pr) on prgs-reviewer only.
2. Confirm neutral runtime binding (no stale review-pr-654 / review-pr-538 GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE).
3. Create a NEW isolated worktree under branches/ for PR #703 (do not reuse foreign session worktree ownership assumptions).
4. Acquire YOUR OWN reviewer lease FIRST via gitea_acquire_reviewer_pr_lease — before reading diffs, validation, or any review work.
5. Re-pin the LIVE PR head from the API at acquire time. Do NOT assume prior candidate head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc is still current.
6. Formal independent review vs Issue #702 AC2+AC3 only. Re-derive any F1–F6 leads with evidence; document non-reproduction with evidence.
7. Do NOT bypass gitea_validate_review_final_report. Do NOT merge. Do NOT touch #698 residual implementation in this session (author track).
8. Submit formal verdict only under the held lease at the pinned live head.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Controller/reconciler reassessed instructed lease comment 11370 with native diagnose/assess; lease is still foreign_active and not past expiry; recovery action is wait; control-plane DB has zero active leases but the comment-backed lease remains active; no review or merge was performed.

WHY:
Native handoff tooling forbids steal/release/cleanup of a foreign active lease; PID liveness is not ownership proof; formal review must wait for canonical expiry then a fresh leased reviewer session.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #703 (this PR, open); Issue #702; Issue #698 residual comment 11375 (validator, separate track); PR #705 already merged for partial #698.

BLOCKERS:
Queue/lease blocker — lease 11370 active until 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z; after that, re-diagnose required before fresh reviewer starts.

## CTH: Controller/Reconciler — lease 11370 reassessed; sanctioned action = WAIT Status: lease_11370_foreign_active; next_action_wait; no_steal; no_review_no_merge Next owner: user (wait for expiry), then reconciler re-diagnose, then fresh reviewer Current blocker: foreign active reviewer lease comment **11370** (session `3157-b48334241c03`, phase=claimed, freshness=active) Decision: Follow native `gitea_diagnose_reviewer_pr_lease_handoff` exactly → **wait**. Do not release, adopt, steal, cleanup, reconstruct session state, bypass gates, or submit a review from this controller session. Proof: diagnose(703, instructed_comment_id=11370); assess(703); list_workflow_leases count=0; wall clock vs expires_at. ### Heads (do not assume prior candidate forever) | Ref | SHA | |-----|-----| | PR #703 live head at assess | `c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc` | | Target master head | `cc3ad0870aab9829cbe28cd869a283beeb37991d` | ### Lease 11370 diagnosis | Field | Value | |-------|-------| | classification | `foreign_active` | | next_action | **wait** | | comment_id | 11370 | | session_id | `3157-b48334241c03` | | phase | claimed | | freshness | active | | last_activity | 2026-07-13T22:58:56Z | | **expires_at (canonical)** | **2026-07-14T00:58:56Z** | | wall clock at assess | ~2026-07-13T23:13:14Z | | ~minutes until expiry | ~106 | | owner_process_alive | null | | pid_is_not_ownership_proof | **true** | | worktree | `branches/review-pr-703` (exists, clean) | | control-plane DB active leases | **0** | ### Sanctioned recovery performed **wait only** — no cleanup apply, no release, no adopt, no mutation. ### #698 residual (not #703 scope) Nested non-dict crash in `_rule_shared_canonical_comment_post_claim` still reproducible on master after PR #705; recorded on Issue **#698** comment **11375**.

NEXT_PROMPT: ```text Role: REVIEWER (prgs-reviewer) — completely fresh session only Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools PR: #703 | Issue: #702 Precondition: wall clock is past 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z AND a controller/reconciler re-diagnose of lease 11370 shows no active foreign lease (or sanctioned post-expiry disposition completed). Do NOT start if diagnose still says wait/foreign_active. 1. gitea_whoami + gitea_resolve_task_capability(review_pr) on prgs-reviewer only. 2. Confirm neutral runtime binding (no stale review-pr-654 / review-pr-538 GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE). 3. Create a NEW isolated worktree under branches/ for PR #703 (do not reuse foreign session worktree ownership assumptions). 4. Acquire YOUR OWN reviewer lease FIRST via gitea_acquire_reviewer_pr_lease — before reading diffs, validation, or any review work. 5. Re-pin the LIVE PR head from the API at acquire time. Do NOT assume prior candidate head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc is still current. 6. Formal independent review vs Issue #702 AC2+AC3 only. Re-derive any F1–F6 leads with evidence; document non-reproduction with evidence. 7. Do NOT bypass gitea_validate_review_final_report. Do NOT merge. Do NOT touch #698 residual implementation in this session (author track). 8. Submit formal verdict only under the held lease at the pinned live head. ``` WHAT_HAPPENED: Controller/reconciler reassessed instructed lease comment 11370 with native diagnose/assess; lease is still foreign_active and not past expiry; recovery action is wait; control-plane DB has zero active leases but the comment-backed lease remains active; no review or merge was performed. WHY: Native handoff tooling forbids steal/release/cleanup of a foreign active lease; PID liveness is not ownership proof; formal review must wait for canonical expiry then a fresh leased reviewer session. RELATED_PRS: PR #703 (this PR, open); Issue #702; Issue #698 residual comment 11375 (validator, separate track); PR #705 already merged for partial #698. BLOCKERS: Queue/lease blocker — lease 11370 active until 2026-07-14T00:58:56Z; after that, re-diagnose required before fresh reviewer starts.

Canonical PR State

STATE:
approved-at-pinned-head

WHO_IS_NEXT:
merger

NEXT_ACTION:
Merger adopts/acquires lease per workflow, re-pins live head c2fc2683b9, runs merge preflight, and merges PR #703 (Closes #702). Do not self-merge from reviewer.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Act as MERGER for PR #703 (prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools), Issue #702.
1. prgs-merger only; verify master parity and neutral runtime binding.
2. Confirm formal APPROVE at head c2fc2683b97e3ba5dc7eaf4ac9798af76bd08dfc is still live and non-stale.
3. Adopt/acquire sanctioned merger lease; re-pin live head before merge.
4. Merge only that head; do not review product code as reviewer; do not touch #694/#696/#701/#611.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Completely fresh prgs-reviewer session independently re-reviewed PR #703 at live head c2fc268 after prior REQUEST_CHANGES (review 429 @ 889931d). All six prior findings (F1–F6) were re-derived and confirmed fixed. Issue #702 AC2/AC3 independently verified with tests.

WHY:
Author remediation at c2fc268 restores fail-closed recovery ordering, preflight path verification, affirmative orphan-cleanup evidence, durable crash-shadow lifecycle, collision-safe shadow identity, and audit-before-clear semantics without absorbing #704 dotenv scope.

Independent prior-finding disposition (F1–F6)

F4 AC3 blocker FIXED — RECOVERY_CRITICAL_KINDS TTL exempt
F5 AC3 blocker FIXED — instance_id session-scoped shadow keys
F6 audit order FIXED — pending audit before env clear

AC2 / AC3 evidence

AC2: stale_binding_recovery clears only provably-stale classes; uncorroborated requires managed reconnect; resolve-time recovery + durable KIND_STALE_BINDING_RECOVERY; path demotion via verify_paths.

AC3: durable KIND_REVIEWER_SESSION_LEASE shadow; orphaned_expired_superseded_head unlocks post-expiry acquisition without pre-expiry steal; cleanup needs owner-exit + affirmative safe worktree + controller auth + confirmation.

CTH: Cross-reference — merge remains blocked

Canonical forensic diagnosis recorded on Incident #700 comment 11489.

  • PR #696 reviewer-lock cleanup was skipped; later #703 reviewer session overwrote leftover state; 02:08:39Z is merger empty-lock init, not cleanup.
  • No applied=true / last_terminal_pr=696 / pr_merged=true claim is valid or asserted.
  • Merge of PR #703 remains blocked pending workflow repair or a newly sanctioned recovery mechanism. Do not merge.
