sysadmin daf9910e83 feat: add BLOCKED + DIAGNOSE default rule and blocker report template (closes #552)
- Updated llm-project-workflow/SKILL.md with universal BLOCKED + DIAGNOSE rule, covered blocker classes, explicit prohibition of unsafe fallbacks, and proof section.
- Added templates/blocked-diagnose-report.md (standard template with all required fields).
- Updated workflows/work-issue.md, review-merge-pr.md, create-issue.md and templates/start-issue.md, review-pr.md, merge-pr.md, recover-bad-state.md to require and reference the rule at load.
- Updated docs/llm-workflow-runbooks.md to reinforce the rule for controller prompts and all workflows.
- All changes in isolated worktree branches/issue-552-blocked-diagnose. No root mutation. No unsafe fallbacks used.
- Tests (workflow + cleanup proofs): 26+ passed in run.
- git diff --check prgs/master...HEAD: clean.

Blocker Report Template (BLOCKED + DIAGNOSE)

Use this exact structure whenever a required workflow step cannot be performed. Emit this report and stop. Do not proceed to mutation or fallback unless a controller explicitly authorizes an exception in writing.

Required step

<Describe the exact step, skill, tool, capability, instruction, profile, or preflight that was required. Include the canonical name and where it is defined (e.g. gitea-workflow skill, specific workflow file, gitea_xxx tool).>

Observed failure

<Exact symptom, error message, missing output, guard error, 404, schema error, dirty state, wrong profile, etc. Quote relevant output or tool response.>

Expected behavior

<What the workflow/docs/prompts say should happen. Reference the specific rule, template, or preflight that requires this step.>

Checks performed

  • List every verification attempted (e.g. gitea_whoami, resolve_task_capability, ls skills/, git status, mcp_list_*, worktree list, etc.)
  • Note any discrepancies found (e.g. skill not mounted for this runtime, capability not in profile, cwd not under branches/, etc.)

Safe recovery attempted

  • Only non-mutating actions (reads, lists, views, status, whoami, resolve, fetch --dry, etc.)
  • List what was tried and the result.
  • If no safe recovery possible, state that explicitly.

Likely classification

Choose one or more:

  • missing required skill or workflow guide
  • broken terminal/tool runner
  • MCP capability failure or deadlock
  • wrong profile or role
  • dirty or misbound worktree
  • root checkout mutation risk
  • mutation guard failure
  • missing required MCP tool/schema
  • stale or inconsistent runtime state
  • unavailable project instructions
  • other:

Durable fix recommendation

<Specific, actionable recommendation that fixes the root process/tooling issue (e.g. "Mount gitea-workflow skill for Codex under canonical name in ~/.codex/skills/", "Add preflight in llm-project-workflow/SKILL.md that hard-stops before any gitea_ call if X is unavailable", "Update controller prompt to require BLOCKED + this report before any fallback", "Grant capability in profile config", etc.). Do not suggest temp workarounds.>

Mutation occurred?

  • No (preferred and required unless explicitly authorized)
  • Yes — describe exactly what was mutated and why it was unavoidable after diagnosis. (This should be rare and will trigger additional review.)

Single next action

<One concrete next step for the current actor (e.g. "Controller to approve or reject recovery", "File follow-up issue #XXX for skill mounting", "Re-launch session from clean branches/ worktree after skill installed", "Stop and wait for profile update").>


Rule reminder (do not bypass): If the required step is unavailable, you are BLOCKED. Diagnose using this template. Report. Stop. Unsafe fallbacks (temp scripts, direct API, MCP internals, direct imports, in-memory restoration, manual bypasses) are prohibited unless a controller has authorized them for this specific instance in a prior handoff.

This report must appear in the final output / handoff before any further action.
