From 4d2b42b0687adfb5f43bf2a5798159b5e526eb00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fusion Agent Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 21:07:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(FN-WF): stop a successful merge aborting itself, and clear two merge-lane dead ends MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three root causes, all reported from one live multi-repository board, all ending as noise or as a dead end an operator had to clear. A SUCCESSFUL MERGE ABORTED ITSELF. The in-flight fence gives up ownership as soon as a card leaves the resolved review lane — correct for a REVISE pulling the card back to implementation, wrong for the move to the complete lane that the merge performs on success. Measured: `all 2 sub-repo(s) landed — task → done` at 19:58:00.762, then `Aborting active merge (left-review-lane-during-merge)`. Nothing was actually cancelled — both repositories were already on main — but the primitive was torn down after the fact, which is why one merge wrote `Workflow node merge requested merge` twice, 132ms apart. Fired a few hundred milliseconds earlier it would abort a merge genuinely mid-flight. This is the COLUMN half of what FN-184 fixed for the STATUS half, in the same file: "the fence revokes the very merge it is guarding". A DUPLICATE ENDED AS AN ERROR. MULT-024 was closed through the duplicate sentinel — no commits expected, implementation must not proceed — and the merge boundary then demanded a pre-merge node result it could not possibly have, terminalizing it with "operator action required". A task that did exactly what was asked required human rescue. The structural proof asks "did the planned implementation run"; it is meaningless for an authorized no-commit outcome. Exemption narrowed by the shared `hasNonTerminalSteps` rule, so a card with unfinished work still faces the full proof, and it waives nothing else: pre-merge approval and FN-8141's skipped- verification guard still apply at the door. MERGE CHECKS HAD NO RUNNER. The clean room exists to run the project's checks, and every runner, linter and type-checker lives in devDependencies — but the install inherited an ambient NODE_ENV=production and skipped them all. The executor said so in its own words ("the environment omitted devDependencies") and repaired itself; the clean room did not, and its reviewer approved a merge whose tests could not run. The project already neutralizes this for its own tests in scripts/test-changed.mjs; the lesson never reached the lane that provisions checkouts. pnpm lint 0 errors, test:gate green, engine typecheck clean, pipeline-smoke 93/93, and 328 tests green across the suites covering every defect reported today. --- .changeset/merge-lane-dead-ends.md | 7 ++ .../__tests__/merge-lane-dead-ends.test.ts | 75 +++++++++++++++++++ .../src/executor/workflow-merge-boundary.ts | 36 ++++++++- .../engine/src/merge/merge-dependency-sync.ts | 27 +++++++ packages/engine/src/project-engine.ts | 28 ++++++- 5 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .changeset/merge-lane-dead-ends.md create mode 100644 packages/engine/src/__tests__/merge-lane-dead-ends.test.ts diff --git a/.changeset/merge-lane-dead-ends.md b/.changeset/merge-lane-dead-ends.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5cb466a376 --- /dev/null +++ b/.changeset/merge-lane-dead-ends.md @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +--- +"@runfusion/fusion": patch +--- + +summary: A successful merge no longer aborts itself, duplicates no longer end as errors, and merge checks get their test runner. +category: fix +dev: Three root causes reported from one live multi-repository board. (1) `wireAutoMerge`'s in-flight fence aborted an active merge whenever its card left the resolved review lane — including the move to the complete lane that a SUCCESSFUL merge performs itself, producing `Aborting active merge (left-review-lane-during-merge)` after both repositories had landed and a doubled `Workflow node merge requested merge` in the journal. This is the column half of the defect FN-184 fixed for the status half in the same file; the fence now exempts the resolved complete lane (with a `done` fallback for an unresolvable workflow) while still firing for a card the graph pulled back. (2) `workflow-merge-boundary` demanded a pre-merge node result from a task whose accepted outcome is that no work happens — a verified duplicate closure — terminalizing it with `merge-boundary-unproven — operator action required`; tasks carrying `noCommitsExpected` with no unfinished steps (via the shared `hasNonTerminalSteps` rule) are now exempt from that structural proof only, with pre-merge approval and the FN-8141 no-op finalize guard still applying. (3) `installWorktreeDependencies` forwarded the ambient environment, so an inherited `NODE_ENV=production` made `npm install` skip every devDependency and left the clean room without the runner its verification needs (`tests could not run: vitest is unavailable`); the install now pins a development environment and clears the npm production/omit variables, matching what `scripts/test-changed.mjs` already does for the project's own tests. diff --git a/packages/engine/src/__tests__/merge-lane-dead-ends.test.ts b/packages/engine/src/__tests__/merge-lane-dead-ends.test.ts new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..926cd4fbe1 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/engine/src/__tests__/merge-lane-dead-ends.test.ts @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +/* +FNXC:MergeLaneDeadEnds 2026-08-26-13:05: +Three defects reported from one live multi-repository board, all of the same shape: a card that did +exactly what was asked ended in noise or in a dead end an operator had to clear. + +1.
