Publication recovery only: existing commits on feat/issue-610-live-remote-parity were already present on prgs and matched local HEAD. No amend, squash, rebase, or force was performed. This PR opens the missing review surface.

Problem

gitea_assess_master_parity compared only the daemon startup commit against the local on-disk HEAD. When the checkout was not updated, parity reported green even though live remote master had advanced, so a stale daemon could claim a mutation-safe result while running outdated capability gates (observed during PR #592 recovery, where the resolver correctly required restart but parity said in_parity=true).

Implementation summary

  • master_parity_gate.assess_master_parity() accepts optional live_remote_head and reports three commits distinctly (daemon_start_head, local_head, live_remote_head) plus live_known / live_stale / mutation_safe.
  • Mutation safety requires daemon, local checkout, and live remote agreement.
  • parity_block_reasons() blocks mutations on live-staleness; read-only diagnostics stay unblocked when remote is unknown.
  • parity_resolver_disagreement() provides a typed fail-closed blocker naming the capability resolver as authoritative when it requires restart while parity looks locally green.
  • read_remote_master_head() best-effort live remote tip with 60s TTL; tests can pin via GITEA_TEST_LIVE_REMOTE_HEAD.
  • Server wiring surfaces the distinguished SHAs and mutation-safe guidance from gitea_assess_master_parity / runtime context.

Files

  • master_parity_gate.py
  • gitea_mcp_server.py
  • tests/test_master_parity_gate.py

Test evidence (from authoring commit message; not re-run in this publisher)

  • 13 new cases (live-remote parity, live-stale blocking + typed blocker, remote-head reader + TTL cache, server wiring).
  • Full suite at authoring time: 2423 passed.
  • 8 remaining failures in test_config AuthIntegration / test_credentials GetCredentials were baseline-proven keychain/env failures identical on the unmodified base (not branch-caused).

Master-parity previously compared only the daemon's startup commit against the
local on-disk HEAD. When the checkout was not pulled, parity reported green even
though the live remote master had advanced, so a stale daemon could claim a
mutation-safe result while running outdated capability gates (observed during
PR #592 recovery, where the resolver correctly required restart but parity said
in_parity=true).

Changes:
- master_parity_gate.assess_master_parity() gains an optional live_remote_head
  and reports the three commits distinctly (daemon_start_head, local_head,
  live_remote_head) plus live_known / live_stale / mutation_safe. A result is
  mutation_safe only when daemon, local checkout, and live remote all agree.
- parity_block_reasons() now blocks mutations on live-staleness too; read-only
  operations remain unblocked (non-goal: never block diagnostics offline).
- New parity_resolver_disagreement(): typed fail-closed blocker naming the
  capability resolver as authoritative when it requires restart but parity
  looks locally green.
- New read_remote_master_head(): best-effort `git ls-remote` for the live
  target, cached with a 60s TTL (bounded offline latency, no network probe per
  gate call); env override GITEA_TEST_LIVE_REMOTE_HEAD keeps tests hermetic.
- Server: _current_master_parity() reads the live remote head;
  gitea_assess_master_parity and runtime_context surface the distinguished
  SHAs, mutation_safe, and resolver-authoritative guidance.

Tests: 13 new cases (live-remote parity, live-stale blocking + typed blocker,
remote-head reader + TTL cache, server wiring). Full suite: 2423 passed; the 8
remaining failures (test_config TestAuthIntegration, test_credentials
TestGetCredentials) are baseline-proven keychain/env failures identical on the
unmodified base.

Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES — PR #788 @ 324b4b3e9312840b44d1587d8b9142a76ca5ef74

Reviewed independently by sysadmin / prgs-reviewer (author jcwalker3; no self-review). Lease 21098-f5dd578979ec, worktree branches/review-pr-788, target master @ 35e94e1.

The #610 design (distinguish daemon-start / local / live-remote heads; fail closed on live-stale; resolver authoritative) is sound and well-scoped, and the 37 new test_master_parity_gate.py cases pass. One blocking defect:

F1 (blocking) — live-remote parity read is not hermetic; 107 pre-existing tests broken

read_remote_master_head() performs a real git ls-remote whenever GITEA_TEST_LIVE_REMOTE_HEAD is unset, and nothing pins that variable suite-wide (no tests/conftest.py entry; grep shows the only references are the new module/tests). Whenever the checkout HEAD differs from live remote master — i.e. every canonical branches/ feature worktree, the exact environment this workflow requires all test runs to use — gitea_get_runtime_context / gitea_assess_master_parity report live_stale and flip safe_next_action, breaking legacy suites that assert runtime-context content.

Proof (venv python, pytest -q):

  • Branch head 324b4b3 full suite: 115 failed, 2316 passed.
  • Pristine merge-base 5201379 (detached baseline worktree) full suite, identical command: 8 failed, 2404 passed — the 8 are the declared keychain/env baseline set (test_config AuthIntegration / test_credentials GetCredentials).
  • Focused (test_mcp_server.py test_runtime_clarity.py test_resolve_task_capability.py): branch 54 failed / 190 passed vs baseline 244 passed / 0 failed.
  • Failure signature is the new live-stale text carrying real SHAs, e.g. test_get_runtime_context_reviewer: got "Daemon is stale relative to LIVE remote master (started 324b4b3e9312, live master 35e94e107c32); …" where the test asserts "None; ready for operations.".
  • Setting GITEA_TEST_LIVE_REMOTE_HEAD outside the tests does not rescue them: the failing tests use patch.dict(os.environ, …, clear=True), which wipes the pin, so the code falls through to a real network ls-remote inside unit tests.

Required remediation: make the live-remote read hermetic for the test suite — e.g. a conftest.py pin of GITEA_TEST_LIVE_REMOTE_HEAD, or disabling the live probe under pytest unless explicitly opted in — and update the affected legacy expectations for the new runtime-context fields/safe_next_action so the full suite is green (minus the 8 baseline failures) when run from a branches/ worktree whose HEAD differs from live master.

F2 (non-blocking) — unit tests gain a network dependency

With F1 unfixed, every cold-cache test run performs git ls-remote (5s timeout) against the real remote; offline runs silently change behavior (live_known=Falsemutation_safe=False yet unblocked). The hermetic fix for F1 should remove this too.

Note (non-blocking) — semantics of unknown live state

mutation_safe=False when the live head is unknown, but parity_block_reasons() does not block on unknown — documented and defensible (resolver stays authoritative); calling it out so the choice is deliberate.

Integration note

The branch is ~12 days behind master (mergeable: true today). After F1/F2 remediation, expect an author update_branch_by_merge sync before merge; the reviewer handoff in the PR body already anticipates this.

Validation ledger

  • Diff inspected: master_parity_gate.py (+188/−26 net), gitea_mcp_server.py (+73), tests/test_master_parity_gate.py (+198). Scoped, no secrets, no gate weakening found.
  • tests/test_master_parity_gate.py: 37 passed.
  • Full suite branch vs pristine merge-base baseline: as above (115 vs 8 failed).
  • Reviewer workflow: gitea_load_review_workflow hash 263d0a6cb8a6, boundary clean; head pinned 324b4b3; verdict recorded via gitea_mark_final_review_decision.
