+summary: Emit planner-overseer run-audit events for observations, steering, retries, recovery, confirmations, and escalations.
+category: feature
+dev: New core emitters (emitOverseerObservation/Steering/RecoveryAttempt/Retry/Confirmation/Escalation) in planner-overseer-events.ts, each mapping its decision-point to the correct intervention action/outcome and delegating to FN-7519's recordPlannerIntervention under the overseer:intervention mutation. Producer call-sites land in FN-7511/FN-7512/FN-7513.

 ### Run Audit API
 The run-audit system records every mutation performed by the engine across four domains:
 - **Database** — task:create, task:update, task:move, etc. Node handoff/recovery emits structured events: `node:handoff:parked` (handoff denied/parked), `node:handoff:reassign-local` (local takeover approved), `node:handoff:reassign-any` (any-healthy takeover approved), and `node:lease:recovered` (abandoned lease cleared and task requeued).
-- **Database / `overseer:intervention`** (FN-7519) — the planner-overseer intervention timeline's single canonical mutation type. `target` is the task ID; metadata carries the six intervention field groups (`stage`, `reason`, `action`, `outcome`, optional `attemptCount`/`attemptLimit`, optional `sourceLinks`). Written only via `recordPlannerIntervention` and read via `getPlannerInterventionTimeline`/`parseInterventionEntry` (`packages/core/src/planner-intervention.ts`) so no parallel audit store or timeline-mapping exists; surfaced read-only in the task-detail Intervention Timeline (`GET /tasks/:id/overseer/interventions`). This task ships the shape and record/read helpers only — FN-7520 wires the actual emission call-sites at overseer decision points.
+- **Database / `overseer:intervention`** (FN-7519, emission façade FN-7520) — the planner-overseer intervention timeline's single canonical mutation type. `target` is the task ID; metadata carries the six intervention field groups (`stage`, `reason`, `action`, `outcome`, optional `attemptCount`/`attemptLimit`, optional `sourceLinks`). Written only via `recordPlannerIntervention` and read via `getPlannerInterventionTimeline`/`parseInterventionEntry` (`packages/core/src/planner-intervention.ts`) so no parallel audit store or timeline-mapping exists; surfaced read-only in the task-detail Intervention Timeline (`GET /tasks/:id/overseer/interventions`). FN-7520 adds the canonical `emitOverseerObservation` / `emitOverseerSteering` / `emitOverseerRecoveryAttempt` / `emitOverseerRetry` / `emitOverseerConfirmation` / `emitOverseerEscalation` emission façade (`packages/core/src/planner-overseer-events.ts`) that fixes each decision-point category's `action`/default `outcome` and funnels through `recordPlannerIntervention` — the single seam FN-7511/FN-7512/FN-7513 call rather than emitting `overseer:intervention` events inline.
 - **Git** — worktree:create, worktree:remove, `worktree:remove-fallback` (metadata `{ fallback: "filesystem-non-empty", error }` when native git removal falls back to filesystem removal + admin prune), commit:create, merge:resolve, merge:audit-failure, `worktree:reanchored`, and worktrunk lifecycle events (`worktree:worktrunk-install|create|sync|prune|remove`, plus `worktree:worktrunk-fallback`, `worktree:worktrunk-failure`, and `worktree:worktrunk-fallback-native`). Worktrunk events share metadata `{ op, binaryPath?, worktreePath?, durationMs?, exitCode?, stderrPreview?, installSource?, prunedCount? }` with `installSource` (`"release-binary" | "cargo"`) limited to successful `worktree:worktrunk-install` events and `prunedCount` limited to successful prune events when known. `worktree:worktrunk-install` is emitted only for true install actions; cache hits, configured `worktrunk.binaryPath` overrides, and `$PATH` resolutions intentionally remain silent. Dirty post-merge audit outcomes emit `merge:audit-failure` with metadata `{ mode, strategy, action, reason, issueCount, duplicateSubjectCount, touchedFileOverlapCount, verificationPassed, auditTargetLabel }`. FN-5279 adds `merge:reuse-handoff-acquired`, `merge:reuse-handoff-refused`, `merge:reuse-handoff-released`, and `merge:reuse-handoff-deferred-to-worktrunk` for task-worktree auto-merge handoff visibility. FN-5351 adds `merge:integration-worktree-state` (pre-handoff checkout/dirty snapshot for resolved integration branch), `merge:cwd-integration-fallback-refused` (terminal refusal park event), and `merge:integration-ref-advance` (integration ref advance outcome telemetry).
 - **Git / `merge:file-scope-violation`** — emitted by the merger when `FileScopeViolationError` aborts a squash. `target` is the task ID; metadata includes `stagedFiles`, `declaredScope`, `resetLabel`, `stagedFileCount`, and `declaredScopeCount`. Consumed by `fileScopeInvariantFailuresPerDay` in `GET /api/health/reliability` (FN-4360).
 - **Git / `merge:no-op-attribution-mismatch`** — emitted by the rebase landed-files attribution guard (FN-5304) when `<rebaseBaseSha>..HEAD` has zero attributable own commits but the source `fusion/<id>` tip still carries attributable own commits. `target` is the task ID; metadata includes `recordedSha`, `rebaseMergeBaseSha`, `sourceBranchRef`, `sourceBranchOwnCommitCount`, and `sourceBranchOwnCommitShas`.
