374ae08d56 test(engine): repoint source-scan contracts to the peeled module layout
Full-suite repair, engine source-scan cluster. The package code
organization waves moved ~30 engine modules into subdirectories
(plugins/, execution/, scheduling/, healing/, worktree/, executor/
peels); the log-severity manifest, prompt carve-out, emit-surface,
failure-lane, and worktree-invariant scanners now read the moved
locations, verified per file via git log --follow. Two scans caught
real drift rather than moves: the lifecycle census had 12 unexamined
column guards (resolved with DELIBERATE-LITERAL markers for the mailbox
archived tab, the FN-9059 lease-owner terminality check, and the FN-9056
legacy done fallback — baseline re-recorded with zero absorbed debt),
and planning-claim gained a genuine second writer in self-healing's
FN-8998 transport-failure recovery, admitted to the allowlist with its
CAS-guarded justification. 9 files / 119 tests green.

1cf86baa1c refactor: package code organization wave 18 (executor pure peels) (#3317)
## Summary

Wave 18 continues the package code-organization program after wave 17
domain folders (U4 Slice A from
`docs/plans/2026-07-14-001-refactor-package-code-organization-plan.md`).

### What changed
Peel **pure, behavior-preserving** helpers out of
`packages/engine/src/executor.ts` into domain modules under
`packages/engine/src/executor/`, with **stable re-exports** from
`executor.ts` so deep imports and `vi.mock("../executor.js")` keep
working.

| New module | Symbols |
|------------|---------|
| `executor/task-done-refusal.ts` | `evaluateTaskDoneRefusal`,
`determineRevisionResetStart`, skip-bypass refusal helper |
| `executor/workflow-feedback-paths.ts` |
`extractReferencedPathsFromWorkflowFeedback`,
`isAlwaysAllowedScopeLeakPath`, `workflowPathMatchesDeclaredScope` |
| `executor/workflow-step-verdict.ts` |
`FUSION_WORKFLOW_STEP_CONVENTIONS_PREAMBLE`, `parseWorkflowStepVerdict`
/ `parseWorkflowStepOutput`, step outcome types |
| `executor/await-input-parse.ts` | `parseAwaitInputSentinel`,
`parseAwaitInputQuestionToolCall` |
| `executor/no-commit-eligibility.ts` | `getNoCommitEligibilityReason`
(+ prompt heuristics) |

`executor.ts` live LOC ~**22817 → ~22427** (first pure-peel batch; more
peels needed to approach the 2k cap).

### Shims
- `old path` `executor.ts` public exports → `new path` `executor/*.ts` →
delete-when consumer deep-imports are re-pointed (not this PR)

### Test plan
- [x] `@fusion/engine` typecheck
- [x] Oracle: task-done refusal, skip-bypass, workflow malformed
verdict, scope-leak allowlist, executor-step-session, executor-prompt
- [x] `vitest --project=engine-core` (merge-gate curated suite)
- [ ] CI merge gate

**Stack:** wave17 (merged) → **this PR**

cb57093d03 refactor: domain folder layout (types, API, core, engine) (#2398)
## Summary

Wave 17 organizes Fusion into **domain folders** (stacks on #2397).

### Layout
- **core/types/** — board, task, agents, settings, merge, workflow,
mesh, …
- **core/src/** — agents, ai, async-stores, workflows, tasks, config,
db, …
- **dashboard/app/api/** — client, tasks, agents, git, missions,
planning, …
- **engine/src/** — agents, auth, execution, merge, missions, overseer,
worktree, …

Root keepers retained for large entrypoints (`store.ts`, `executor.ts`,
`merger.ts`, …).

Public barrels (`@fusion/core`, `@fusion/engine`, `app/api.ts` → legacy)
stay stable.

## Test plan
- [x] `@fusion/core` typecheck
- [x] `@fusion/engine` typecheck (pre-existing playwright-core noise
only)
- [ ] CI merge gate

**Stack:** #2394 → #2397 → **this PR**

6d176a9372 FN-8721: reconcile census, delegation routing, and archive repair
Align lifecycle census coverage while routing delegated work to workflow-ready lanes and safely repairing archived tasks.

- Route delegated tasks through the selected workflow's hold or entry column.
- Scope soft-deleted archive repairs by project and protect them with compare-and-set updates.
- Refresh lifecycle-column census detection, baseline, documentation, and coverage.

012729cf2b chore: tighten lifecycle-column census baseline after slot-accounting fix
The active-worktree slot-accounting fix removed two deliberate scheduler
literals (done/archived: 3 -> 2); re-record so the ratchet follows the count
down.

78d411cfe2 fix: main is RED on two gates — record the new fallback, repoint six future-dated stamps (#3261)
`9094d1640e` (globalPause gates every graph node entry) reddened **two**
lifecycle gates on main. Both are fixed here, in separate commits.

## 1. The census ratchet went 0 → 2

`isTerminalColumnTask` in `scheduler.ts`:

```ts
const flags = columnFlagsForTask(task);
if (flags) return flags.complete === true || flags.archived === true;
return task.column === "done" || task.column === "archived";   // ← counted
```

**The code is correct.** It resolves traits first and falls back only
when the workflow is unreadable. The census counts fallback literals on
purpose — *"a fallback literal is still a literal and should go when the
trait path becomes unconditional"* — and reports them beside the backlog
as already-converted. Its own remedy for a legitimate one is a
`DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker at the site.

Recorded rather than converted because **there is nothing to convert
to**: a task whose workflow cannot be read has no resolved lane, and
treating it as non-terminal would count a finished card's retained
worktree against live capacity — the opposite of what the surrounding
fix does.

Marker sits in the declaration's **leading** comments; an inline one
attaches to the wrong node and is silently ignored, which cost a
miscount once before. Baseline re-recorded in the same commit, since the
census tracks deliberate counts and reports a marker addition as
`RECLASSIFIED`.

## 2. The stamp gate was red as well

Six files stamped `2026-08-01-00:2x` while UTC was `2026-07-31`:

```
workflow-column-boundary.ts             2      workflow-graph-task-runner.ts   1
workflow-column-boundary-hooks.ts       1      in-process-runtime.ts           5 (allows 4)
workflow-column-boundary-capacity.test  1
```

This checkout is UTC-7, so "just after midnight local" is tomorrow in
UTC — the case AGENTS.md documents, which passes `pnpm lint` locally
*because* the local clock agrees with what was written. Second
occurrence today; I fixed the same shape on #3208 for another worker.

Repointed to `2026-07-31-22:2x`, preserving relative order. **Zero
non-comment lines changed** — 8 lines across 6 files, verified by
diffing out FNXC lines.

## Measured

| check | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `census --strict` | **1** | **0** |
| backlog | **2** | **0** (DELIBERATE-LITERAL 148 → 150) |
| `check-fnxc-future-dates` | **1** | **0** |
| `pnpm test:gate` | 0 | 0 |
| `census-reclassification-message` | 2 failed | **1 failed** |

That last row is deliberate: the remaining failure is the
expired-premise case #3260 fixes, and I have not touched it. The
capacity test from `9094d1640e` still passes 9/9.

## Why this landed at all

Both gates run in `pr-checks.yml`, so a PR carrying either would have
gone red. Worth someone checking how it merged — a stale merge base
would explain it, and if so the same hole is open for the next merge.

0bdc9bf4fb fix(dashboard): archived tasks stayed in the research picker on a renamed board (#3215)
## The defect

The enrich-mode task picker filtered with `task.column !== "archived"`.
On a board whose archive lane is renamed, that matched nothing — so
filed-away tasks stayed in the picker and an operator could attach
research findings to work they had deliberately archived.

## Census before / after

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| COLUMN guards (backlog) | 10 | **9** |
| `ResearchTaskActionModal.tsx` | 1 | **0 — converted** |

Baseline re-recorded in the same commit; `--strict` green.

## This site was declined twice, and I wrote the second wrong estimate

#3213 left it counted, correctly, on the note that was here — which was
mine. Both prior cost estimates were wrong, so this corrects my own
work:

1. **"Needs a data-fetch change"** — reasoned about
`columnFlagsByTaskId`, a per-**task** map built from board-resident
rows. Right that such a map can't help (archived rows are exactly what a
board map omits), but this guard asks a per-**column** question, so it
never needed one.
2. **"Needs prop threading, MainContent → ResearchView → here"** — right
that the answer is column-keyed, wrong about where it lives. `ListView`
builds `columnFlagsById` *inline*, which made it look like the owner.
The data is `useBoardWorkflows`, a hook already called from `App`,
`Board`, and `HeaderWorkflowSwitcherSlot`.

**Measured cost: one file.** The modal already takes `projectId`, and
`ResearchView` renders it only when a finding is open (`open` hardcoded
beside `if (!finding) return null`) — so the hook cannot fetch for a
closed modal, which was the one real objection to calling it here.

Union across workflows keyed by column id, first declaration wins — the
same convention `ListView` uses, so the two cannot disagree about a
shared id. `isArchivedColumnRole` fail-softs to the legacy id when a
column has no flags, so an unresolved workflow behaves exactly as the
literal did.

## Tests — the invariant, not the repro

Per the surface-enumeration rule, four cases: renamed archive lane,
legacy id, unresolved workflow (fail-soft), and a second workflow's
archive lane through the cross-workflow union. A repro-only test would
pass on the legacy board and prove nothing about the case the guard
exists for.

**Anti-vacuity control:**

| | renamed lane | union | legacy id | fail-soft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pre-fix literal | **FAIL** | **FAIL** | pass | pass |
| converted | pass | pass | pass | pass |

The legacy and fail-soft cases hold in both directions **on purpose** —
they pin that this conversion did not change the pre-resolution answer.
Flagging that so 4/4 isn't read as four independent proofs.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| `census --strict` / `check-fnxc-future-dates` | exit 0 / exit 0 |
| `eslint` | clean |
| `tsc -p tsconfig.app.json` (the config that actually covers `app/`) |
exit 0 |
| new tests | 4/4 |
| `pnpm test:gate` | exit 0 (744 tests) |

## Note on process

My first attempt at the control silently did nothing — the revert script
threw a `SyntaxError`, so the "pre-fix" run was the fixed code and
reported 4/4. Caught it because the error printed. The table above is
from the re-run.

c66b434b7b fix(self-healing): a renamed hold lane re-logged the same overlap blocker on every sweep (#3216)
## The defect

`clearStaleBlockedBy` keeps a per-task memo of which overlap blocker it
already logged, so a sweep running every few seconds doesn't repeat the
same line forever. The memo was retained only while the card sat in a
column matching the literal `todo` — so on a renamed board it was
dropped on **every** sweep and `still blocked by file scope overlap with
<id>` was re-logged each time.

## Census before / after

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| COLUMN guards (backlog) | 9 | **8** |
| `packages/engine/src/self-healing.ts` | 1 | **0 — converted** |

Baseline re-recorded in the same commit; `--strict` green. (Counts
follow #3215, which took 10 → 9.)

## The stated blocker was not real

The note here declined the conversion because the lane prefetch is keyed
on `candidates`, *"which this closure helps build"*. Measured — it does
not:

```
6033|  for (const task of blockedTasks) candidates.set(task.id, task);
6034|  for (const task of queuedDependencyTasks) candidates.set(task.id, task);
6036|  for (const [taskId, lastLoggedBlockerId] of this.preservedQueuedOverlapLogged) {   <- only CLEARS memos
```

`candidates` is fully populated two statements earlier, and this loop
only clears memo entries. So the prefetch was hoistable; it now sits
above the loop. That is a pure move of a read-only computation with no
conditional between the two positions.

Reaching the lane clause already proves the id is a candidate —
`!candidates.has(taskId)` is the first arm of the same `||` chain, so
short-circuit means the lane question is only asked for ids the prefetch
covered (`referencedIds.add(task.id)` runs for every candidate).
`lanesOf` still falls back to the legacy set, so an unresolvable
workflow answers exactly as the literal did.

This is the second inherited "too expensive" estimate to fail on
inspection this session (see #3215). Both were written in good faith and
both were checkable in a few minutes.

## One thing typecheck caught that review would not have

`memoTask?.column !== "todo"` was **also** the undefined check, and tsc
narrowed the later clauses on it. Replacing it without that arm compiled
clean to the eye but broke narrowing — `TS18048: 'memoTask' is possibly
'undefined'` on the next line. `|| !memoTask` is now explicit rather
than implied.

## Evidence

The test drives the sweep **twice**, because a single pass cannot
observe a dedup memo at all.

| | pre-fix literal | converted |
|---|---|---|
| `still blocked by file scope overlap` log lines | **2 — FAILS** | **1
— passes** |

Failure message against the pre-fix code: `expected [ [ 'FN-DEPENDENT',
…(1) ], …(1) ] to have a length of 1 but got 2`.

Worth correcting the record: the note called the cost *"a duplicate log
line, not a wrong lifecycle decision"*. The lifecycle half is right —
but it is a duplicate on **every sweep**, so it is recurring log spam,
not a one-off. That is a bigger cost than the note implies, though still
not a correctness bug.

| check | result |
|---|---|
| `census --strict` / `check-fnxc-future-dates` | exit 0 / exit 0 |
| `eslint` / engine `tsc --noEmit` | clean / exit 0 |
| self-healing + overlap suites | 15 / 21 / 6 passed |
| `pnpm test:gate` | exit 0 (744 tests) |

Reused the existing `RENAMED_BOARD_IR` harness in that file rather than
building a new one.

aa1655ccd9 fleet: reclassify the census tail — 10 → 2 guards, all reasoning already in the code (#3213)
## Census before / after

```
                        before   after
COLUMN guards (backlog)     10       2
DELIBERATE-LITERAL         138     148
```

Baseline re-recorded in the same commit; `--strict` green.

## This converts nothing — the tail was never backlog

All ten remaining guards already carried an explicit in-code decision.
**None carried the `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker the census reads**, so
each re-appeared to every fleet pass as if unexamined. That is the whole
defect this fixes.

| site | the reasoning already at the site |
| --- | --- |
| `audit-ops.ts`, `moves.ts` | the degraded fallback arm of an
**already-converted** site; the live arm uses the resolved lane set |
| `scheduler.ts` ×2 | *"LEFT COUNTED"* — an await behind the
`tracked.has` re-entrance guard lets two updates double-start a monitor;
the sibling is the measured-expensive `task:updated` emit path (26 sites
against 7) |
| `notification-service.ts` | this method and its only caller are
**sync**, reached from a listener the store invokes as `(task: Task):
void`; resolving makes the chain async and reorders notification
classification against every other `task:updated` handler |
| `lifecycle-ops.ts` | *"Recorded rather than converted"* — dead code |
| `task-id-integrity.ts` | sync, no store-scoped read; converting alone
would disagree with `getLiveTaskColumn` |
| `triage.ts` | *"LEFT COUNTED until then"* — wants a non-sync-resolved
lane answer |

## Marker placement is load-bearing, and I got it wrong twice

The census reads a node's **leading** comments. A marker in a nearby
block comment attaches to the wrong node and is **silently ignored** —
it reads as reviewed while the count still lists the site.

- `task-id-integrity.ts` — my first marker went into the block comment
above the `const`; the literal is in the `return`. Count stayed at 1
until I moved it.
- `ResearchTaskActionModal.tsx` — marker added, **measured that it did
not register**, reverted.

Every edit was verified by re-running the census, not assumed. That is
the only reason the count actually moved.

## Two sites deliberately left counted

- **`ResearchTaskActionModal.tsx`** — the literal sits mid-expression
inside a `.then()` chain, so no marker can attach. The census's own
guidance is to hoist it into a named helper; the site's note asks for
that to be someone's deliberate change rather than a drive-by, so it
stays counted and honest.
- **`self-healing.ts`** — the memo closure I converted and reverted in
#3049. Its note: a renamed board costs a duplicate log line, not a wrong
lifecycle decision.

## Correction I owe on the measurement itself

For many turns I reported "zero unclaimed guards". That came from a bug
in **my own** query — `byFile` is an array of `[file, count]` pairs and
I had switched to `Object.entries()`, which yields `[index, pair]`, so
`n > 0` was always false and the filter returned zero regardless of
state. It agreed with reality while open PRs held every file, which is
why it went unnoticed; it was still wrong, and a constant zero against a
falling backlog should have prompted me to check it sooner.

## Verification (measured)

- engine `self-healing` + `scheduler` suites — **1003 passed / 56
files**
- core `task-id` / `moves` suites — green
- `tsc --noEmit` clean in core, engine and dashboard; `eslint` clean
- `pnpm test:gate` — green
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-lane-wiring`,
`check-sql-column-literals`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

No changeset: `@fusion/core`, `@fusion/engine` and `@fusion/dashboard`
are private, and no runtime behaviour changes.

230be28576 fix(core): the merge-queue enqueue guard was not debt — the code it guarded had no callers (#3205)
## The deferral note was right about the mechanism and wrong about the
remedy

`merge-queue-ops-2.ts` sat in the census as deferred debt behind this
note:

> Converting it properly means either making this path async or pushing
the trait read into SQL, both of which are store-architecture changes
rather than call-site conversions.

That is correct as far as it goes — the guard runs inside
`store.db.transactionImmediate`, so the only synchronous resolver
available (`resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync`) returns the DEFAULT workflow
under PostgreSQL and a "conversion" would be inert.

But it assumed the code needed converting. Measured across the tree:

```
=== every call site of .enqueueMergeQueueSyncInternal( ===
packages/core/src/store.ts:1775:  public enqueueMergeQueueSyncInternal(...)   <- the declaration itself
```

**Zero callers.** Every other occurrence of the name is a comment. The
live path is `enqueueMergeQueueAsync` (`task-artifacts-ops.ts:117`), and
that file already documented the deletion:

> Merge-queue enqueue is PostgreSQL-only via enqueueMergeQueueAsync …
The SQLite `enqueueMergeQueueSyncInternal` arm is deleted.

The arm was deleted; its declaration was not. The guard was unreachable
on the shipped backend.

## Change

- Deleted `enqueueMergeQueueSyncInternalImpl` (-85 lines) and its
`store.enqueueMergeQueueSyncInternal` entry point.
- Dropped the six imports that became unused
(`MergeQueueTaskNotFoundError`, `MergeQueueInvalidColumnError`,
`MergeQueueEntry`, `MergeQueueEnqueueOptions`, `normalizeTaskPriority`,
`MergeQueueRow`).
- Refreshed the three comments naming the removed symbol, so none points
at a deleted identifier. The
`handoffMergeQueueFailureInjectorForTesting` hook those comments sit on
is a **different** member and is untouched — it only mentioned the sync
arm as context.

## Census before / after

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `packages/core/src/task-store/merge-queue-ops-2.ts` | 1 | **0 (entry
removed)** |

Baseline tightened by exactly one entry. **The 0 here is a deletion, not
a conversion** — recorded in the file's own FNXC note so the next worker
does not read it as a converted seam. This is the failure mode the
census warns about ("a count of 0 is the WORST case, not the best"), so
it is stated at the site rather than left to inference.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| `census --strict` | exit 0 |
| `@fusion/core tsc --noEmit` | exit 0 |
| `eslint` (4 changed files) | clean |
| core merge-queue tests | **110 passed / 6 files**, incl.
`postgres/merge-queue-renamed-review-column.pg.test.ts` |
| `pnpm test:gate` | exit 0 (**732 tests**) |

No changeset: `@fusion/core` is private and this removes unreachable
code with no user-visible behavior.

## Flagged, not guessed

The other four deferral-note files remain deferred. I only reclassified
this one because its call-site count is a fact I could measure, not a
judgement. Whether `lifecycle-ops.ts:667` is likewise dead (it sits in
the legacy-SQLite polling-replica path) is a separate question I have
not measured, so I have not touched it.

a319e35a67 fix(dashboard): the card's completion timestamp reads the resolved complete lane (census 13 → 12) (#3146)
`TaskCard.tsx` 1 → 0. **Census 13 → 12**, baseline re-recorded
in-commit.

## The defect

`getInReviewCompletionMs` gated on `task.column === "done"`, so on a
board whose completion lane is renamed, a finished card rendered its
execution time **without the completion half** — the `Completed <when>`
part of the indicator's `title` / `aria-label` never appeared.

Nobody reported it because the card does not look broken. It looks like
a card whose completion time was never recorded.

## The recorded blocker had expired, and I trusted it twice

The note on that helper read:

> Module-scope, takes only a `Task`, and has no flags to consult.
Converting it means either threading resolved flags through a pure
duration helper or resolving a workflow inside it.

True when written (2026-07-30). False within a day, and the evidence is
in the same file:

- `taskColumnFlags` is a **prop of this component**, destructured and
already consumed by `isWipColumnRole` / `isReviewColumnRole`.
- The **sibling duration helpers were threaded for exactly this
purpose** — `getTotalAgentActiveMs` carries the note *"THREADED SO THE
CONVERSION IS NOT INERT"*.
- This helper has **one caller**, inside the component, where the flags
are in scope.

The threading the note called prohibitive was already done; only this
helper was left behind. I read that note twice this week and took it at
face value both times — and what finally prompted the check was main
landing `taskRevert 2 → 0 — **the recorded blocker named the wrong
variable**` (#3129), someone else finding the same class of decay in a
note I had also accepted.

This program's own learnings say a deferral's stated blocker is a claim
that ages like any measurement. I had applied every other entry in that
document this week except that one.

## A dependency-array bug the conversion would have introduced

The memo now reads `taskColumnFlags`, so it joins the dependency array.
Flags arrive **asynchronously** — the board resolves workflows after
first paint — so a card rendered before they load and re-rendered after
would otherwise keep the pre-flag answer, since none of the memo's other
inputs changed. This repo has **no `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` rule**,
so nothing would have flagged the omission.

## Two wrong probes before a correct one, both caught by controls and
mutation

Recording these because the fix was right from the start and my
instruments were not:

1. **`textContent` matched nothing.** The completion time lands in
`title`/`aria-label`, never in visible text. The **control failed too**
— the signature of a broken probe rather than a broken fix.
2. **`innerHTML` on the whole card matched always.** The lifecycle-dates
footer renders its own `Completed <date>` line, and *that* path already
resolves the complete lane correctly. The probe was reading a different,
already-converted feature. **Mutation exposed it: reverting the fix left
all six green.**

The final assertion queries `.card-time-indicator` and reads its
`title`, which is the only form that can tell the two apart.

## Verification

| | result |
|---|---|
| suite | **6 passed** |
| mutation (restore `=== "done"`) | **1 failed \| 5 passed** — the
renamed case only, control still green |
| dashboard `tsc -p tsconfig.app.json` | **0 errors** |
| census `--strict` | exit 0, baseline re-recorded in-commit |

Flags stay optional with the legacy id as fallback
(`isCompleteColumnRole`), so any caller without resolved flags behaves
exactly as before.

## Note on `check-fnxc-future-dates`

It fails on this branch, but **not because of it** — `scheduler.ts` and
one PG test carry future stamps on `main` itself. #3139 fixes that. None
of my files appear in the report.

a6d67844b8 fix(triage): the "unconvertible" site was convertible — the blocker was two test harnesses (#3191)
#3141 measured this site as unconvertible, and I twice reported the
cause as a production constraint. It was not. This is the instrumented
answer to the probe I recommended there and then ran myself.

## The isolation

| configuration | result |
|---|---|
| flag only, no conversion | **8 passed** → the orphan arm is *not* the
cause |
| flag + conversion | **5 failed** → the conversion is |
| same, with a realistic mock store | **8 passed** → the mock was the
cause |

`triage-stuck-requeue-preserve-draft.test.ts` defined neither
`getTaskWorkflowSelection` nor its async twin — exactly like
`triage.test.ts` did before #3189. Both made
`resolveWorkflowIrForTaskWithProvenance` **throw** and take its catch
branch: the *"could not ask"* shape, which a production store never
presents.

So the 5 failures I deferred as a possible semantics change were the
same harness gap in a second file — confirmed, not argued.

## What changes

**`selectionAbsent`** marks the determinate case: the store *answered*
"no selection", so the workflow is the default and its IR is in hand.
Added as a **separate field, not a third `source` value** — `source ===
"default"` is compared in **31 places** in `self-healing.ts` meaning "be
conservative", and a new enum value would silently stop matching every
one of them while still compiling and still passing on a default board.

**`recoverApprovedTask`** now accepts a legacy `triage` row *explicitly*
(its workflow does not declare that column) instead of depending on
`resolvePlannerLanes` **failing** and falling back to legacy ids.
Correctness resting on a resolver's failure mode is what this removes.

## Measured

| | result |
|---|---|
| broad suite (triage / self-healing / recovery / planning) | **77
files, 1302 tests passed** |
| the three directly affected suites, post-rebase | **245 passed** |
| the flag is load-bearing | conversion **without** it: **18 failed \|
221 passed** |
| `census --strict`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` | exit 0 |

**The inert-sync-lane count is unchanged at 7 for `triage.ts`.** This
site was never among the counted guards, so this is **not** a ratchet
reduction — stating that rather than letting a conversion imply one. It
removes a real inert dependency the ratchet cannot see, which is the
blind-spot class this phase has been mapping.

## Why this took four attempts

I described this blocker at four levels: merged intake/hold, orphan-arm
scoping, identity verification (filed as **#3187**, closed as wrong),
and finally the harness. **The two I instrumented held; the two I
reasoned to did not.** The fix here is the probe I wrote down for
someone else — which is where it should have started.

2cb5cab595 chore(core): mark the mission-store dead-sync-path literal DELIBERATE (census 13→12) (#3179)
Comment-only. `tsc` 0 errors, `census --strict` and
`check-fnxc-future-dates` exit 0.

## Claimed with the new tool

First use of `scripts/check-file-claimed.mjs` (#3175) to pick work
instead of guessing:

```
CLAIMED    packages/engine/src/scheduler.ts        #3177, #3142
CLAIMED    packages/core/src/task-store/audit-ops.ts   #3165
UNCLAIMED  packages/core/src/mission-store.ts
UNCLAIMED  packages/core/src/task-store/task-id-integrity.ts
```

Two of the four files I would have reached for were already taken — by
PRs whose branch names give no hint they touch those paths. That is the
collision this phase paid for five times, answered in one command. I
took `mission-store.ts`; `task-id-integrity.ts` is still free.

## Census 13 → 12

Reclassification, not conversion — the line is unchanged.

## Verified the blocker rather than deferring to it

The site carries an audited note: the sync `MissionStore` reaches
`this.db.prepare`, and `getMissionStoreImpl` returns the
`AsyncDataLayer`-backed `AsyncMissionStore` under PostgreSQL, so the
class is unreachable in the shipped backend.

I checked that independently instead of accepting it —
`async-mission-store.ts:168` states the same routing from the other
side. **That check exists because of #3129**, where a note I had
accepted as settled ("blocked on a per-neighbour flag map that does not
exist") turned out to name the wrong variable, and the file was
convertible all along. I had publicly argued it should stay counted.

So the rule I am applying: a documented blocker gets marked only after
its named obstacle is confirmed from a second source. Here it held; on
`taskRevert.ts` it did not.

## Related, and still open

`merge-queue-ops-2.ts` carries a note of the same shape that does
**not** survive this check — it names two ways to convert (make the path
async, push the trait read down) and misses the one that worked twice
this phase: thread the resolved lanes in from a caller that already
awaited them, as #3112 and #3118 did for `executor.ts`. Its sibling
`taskStillInReview(projectId, reviewColumns)` already takes lanes from
its caller. Worth a real look rather than a marker.

a8dae03fdb fleet(dashboard): taskRevert 2 → 0 — the recorded blocker named the wrong variable (#3129)
The largest remaining census cluster. Deferred twice, with a blocker
that turns out to be false **in the same component where its
counter-example already lives**.

## What the earlier notes got right

`detailColumnFlags` describes the **modal's own task**, and the column
classified here belongs to a **neighbour**. Supplying it would answer
*"is this neighbour finished?"* with a different row's traits — wrong on
data, not merely stale on vocabulary. That reasoning stands and I kept
it.

An earlier pass also converted this, left the parameter unsupplied, and
**reverted it** — correctly. An unsupplied optional parameter is
strictly worse than the literal: the guard is gone, the census counts a
conversion, and the behaviour is the legacy fallback forever. That rule
is why the wiring ships in this same commit.

## What the conclusion got wrong

> "A correct conversion needs per-**neighbour** flags — which the modal
does not have and should not fetch mid-render."

`columnFlagsByTaskId` is a per-task map. It is **already a prop** of
`TaskDetailModal` (declared :367, destructured :727), and the call site
at :992 sits **below** that destructure.

And `TaskDetailModal` already uses it exactly this way, for the
near-duplicate canonical:

```ts
columnFlagsByTaskId?.get(nearDuplicateCanonical.id)
```

…under a note observing that *its* blocker had been *"asserted from the
shape of the problem rather than tested against what was in scope."*
Same assertion, one function over. So the supplier the earlier note went
looking for exists, is per-neighbour, and needs no fetch.

## What it fixes

This lookup skips **finished** candidates so a done/archived prior undo
attempt never renders as an active "Undo task" link. On a board that
renames those lanes it matched neither — a finished undo task kept
rendering as open, which is precisely the stale affordance the
function's own header says it exists to prevent.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `taskRevert.ts` | 2 | **0** |
| repo backlog | 17 | **15** |

## Measured

- 4 new cases; `taskRevert.test.ts` **11/11 pass**.
- **MUTATION**: restoring the literal pair fails the renamed case.
- **The negative is load-bearing.** The map is fail-soft, so a candidate
it does not cover must still be treated as **open**, not skipped. A
conversion that skipped unknown candidates would *hide live undo links*
— failing in the direction nobody reports.
- A **control** pins that an unwired caller (no flags at all) still
skips the legacy ids, so the optional parameter cannot regress default
boards.
- `TaskDetailModal` suites — **31 files / 664 tests pass**.
- `tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.app.json` clean; census `--strict`,
`check-lane-wiring`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` clean.

## Pattern worth noting

This is the fourth deferral this session whose stated blocker had
dissolved or misidentified itself, and the second where the
counter-example was already in the same file. The common shape: a note
records *why* something is blocked, is accurate when written, and is
never re-checked — so the block outlives its cause. Re-reading them cost
minutes each and returned two real conversions.

ada62a7c4a census: --claims shows which remaining files an open PR already holds (two duplicate claims today) (#3124)
The census says **where** the work is but not **who has it**, and
duplicate claims are now the dominant coordination cost of this phase.
This adds an opt-in `--claims` report mapping each remaining file to the
open PRs already touching it.

## The problem is measured, not suspected

- **`self-healing.ts` took three overlapping conversions** from
different lanes while one branch was open (#3049, #3075, #3078). Each
forced a full rebuild of #3094, and every conflict was the same shape:
*same guard, two spellings, different variable names*. That PR's body
asks, in as many words, for one lane to own the file.
- **`executor.ts` took two independent conversions today** — #3112 and
#3118 — same four literals, same payload-lanes fix, two branches. Two
workers each read the census, saw the top cluster, and started. Neither
could see the other; I only caught it because both appeared in one `gh
pr list`.

The census is what sends everyone to the same file, so the claim signal
belongs here rather than in a side channel nobody reads. `--triage`
(#3097) already measured the underlying fact — 53 of 88 guards sat
inside an open PR — one step short of being actionable.

## Measured on current main (29 guards)

```
  CLAIMED by an open PR: 6 files holding 15 guards
       6  packages/engine/src/self-healing.ts  ← #3121 #3116
       4  packages/engine/src/executor.ts  ← #3118 #3112
       2  packages/engine/src/auto-merge-finalization.ts  ← #3107
       1  packages/core/src/task-store/task-artifacts-ops.ts  ← #3120 #3119 #3091
       …
  UNCLAIMED: 12 files holding 14 guards — start here
       2  packages/dashboard/app/utils/taskRevert.ts
       2  packages/engine/src/scheduler.ts
       …
```

It independently reproduces **both** collisions I found by hand today,
which is the strongest evidence I can offer that it works: `executor.ts
← #3118 #3112` and `self-healing.ts ← #3121 #3116`.

It also answers the standing fleet instruction empirically. "Claim the
largest unclaimed cluster" currently resolves to **12 files holding 14
guards, none larger than 2** — and one of those two (`scheduler.ts`) is
in the SYNC-RESOLVED list, where conversion is inert. That is a
materially different picture from the headline `29`.

## Design decisions

**Report-only and fail-soft**, on the same terms as `--triage`: opt-in,
printed beside the totals, changes no count and no exit code. It shells
to `gh`, so it is unavailable offline, in CI without a token, and in
sandboxes — all of which print a notice and continue. A gate must not
depend on network state; this is a work-selection aid, not a gate.

**The fail-soft path is loud on purpose**, and it is the case I care
most about. A claim report that silently degrades to "nothing is
claimed" is *worse than no report*, because it actively sends the reader
into work another lane holds — the exact failure the flag exists to
prevent. So when `gh` cannot answer it prints `POSSIBLY CLAIMED` and
suppresses the start-here list entirely rather than rendering it empty.

**Heuristic, and says so.** A PR touching a file is not proof it
converts *that file's* guards — it may edit an unrelated function. It
over-reports rather than misses, which is the safe direction: a false
claim costs one comment asking, a missed one costs a rebuilt branch.

**One bulk `gh pr list` call**, not a request per PR — the per-PR shape
was too slow to become habitual, and a report nobody runs is not a fix.

## Verification

- `lifecycle-column-census.test.ts` — **42 passed** (was 40)
- Differential: disabling the flag gives **2 failed | 40 passed**. Both
new tests fail on the defect they were written for.
- `--strict` and `check-fnxc-future-dates` — exit 0
- Tests stub `gh` on PATH, so no network call and no dependency on the
live PR list. The fixture reads the census's **own current top file**
rather than a hardcoded path, so it cannot rot as the backlog shrinks
(same self-maintaining discipline as #3106).

## What this does not do

It does not reserve anything — there is no lock, and two workers who
both run it can still collide if they start simultaneously. It reports
what is already visible in the PR list, which is enough to catch the
every-case-so-far pattern of *starting work on a file someone has held
for hours*. A real reservation would need shared mutable state, and I
would not add that without an owner asking for it.

ad5172afd5 fix(engine): main is red on check:inert-sync-lanes — #3114's triage conversion is inert, revert the arm (#3126)
## `main` is red on `check:inert-sync-lanes` right now

```
inert-sync-lane: NEW inert conversions — a lane guard now reads a sync resolver
that always answers with the DEFAULT board.
  packages/engine/src/triage.ts: 7 -> 8
```

Verified on a clean `origin/main` checkout, not on my branch. #3114
converted this guard's third arm to `disposeLanes.wip`; the gate that
exists to catch exactly this fired, and the PR landed anyway —
presumably because `check:inert-sync-lanes` is not in the blocking
merge-gate set.

## The change did not change behaviour

`disposeLanes` comes from `resolvePlannerLanes`, which resolves through
`resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync` — inert under PostgreSQL for two independent
reasons (#3103). So `disposeLanes.wip` evaluates to `in-progress`: **the
same value as the literal it replaced.**

A card advancing into a renamed execution lane still matches nothing,
still reads as an evacuation, and still kills a healthy planning session
— the precise bug #3114 set out to fix, unchanged on every board.

So the arm goes back to the literal. The gate's own failure text rules
out the alternative:

> Do NOT re-record the baseline to clear this — that is the same false
green one layer up.

## #3114's analysis is kept — only the code reverts

Its behavioural description is **correct** and is the clearest statement
of this bug anywhere in the file. I have kept those paragraphs and added
what is missing: that the fix does not reach under PG, and what would.

Whoever supplies a lane answer that is not sync-resolved should make
this line read `disposeLanes.wip` and delete the note. The specification
is sitting right there for them.

## It also reconciles two contradictory notes, one of them mine

My #3108 flag said converting the third arm this way adds an inert
comparison and removes a census entry that is telling the truth. #3114
then converted it and added a note saying it fixes the bug. **Both notes
sat in the file**, giving any reader two confident, opposite accounts.
They are now one account with the evidence attached.

## Read this file's census count carefully

#3114 took it to **0** while the inert count went to **8**. The census's
own `--triage` output warns about exactly this shape:

> for a sync-resolved file, a count of 0 is the WORST case, not the best
— the file reads as fully converted

Reverting restores it to 1, which is the honest signal.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `triage.ts` | 0 | **1** |
| repo backlog | 26 | **27** |

**The number going up is the point.** A census that reports 0 for a file
whose guards are all inert is worse than one that reports the truth — it
retires the entry and nobody looks again.

## Measured

- `check-inert-sync-lane-conversions`: **exits 1 on `main`, 0 here** (8
→ 7).
- `src/__tests__/triage*` — **25 files / 374 tests pass**.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine` clean; census `--strict`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` clean.

218086bea2 fleet(engine): self-healing 6 → 1 — the board-stall counter, the last guard that needed a sync answer (#3121)
The last fan-out guard, and the one I explicitly said needed a
synchronous answer. #3109 made that answer available without an await,
so the flag comes off.

## Why this one was last

The other two guards in this listener gated work the listener **already
`void`s**, so they moved onto the async resolver in #3094. This one
increments in-memory state **in the handler's own tick**, so it
genuinely needed a synchronous answer.

The sync IR path was never that answer: `resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync`
cannot resolve a **custom** workflow at all — two independent blockers,
#3103 — which is why I wrote that conversion, measured it, and withdrew
it.

#3109's emitter-carried `lanes` removes the dilemma rather than trading
one horn for the other: reading them needs **no await**, so the
increment stays in the same tick *and* the guard becomes correct.

## What it fixes

On a renamed board this counter read **zero**. The board-stall watchdog
was blind to a board whose cards were moving out of implementation the
whole time — the signal it exists to raise was never raised.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `self-healing.ts` | 6 | **1** |
| repo backlog | 29 | **24** |

The remaining 1 is the log-dedup closure — a pre-existing flag whose
degraded answer costs a duplicate log line, not a lifecycle decision.

## Measured

- 3 new cases; `self-healing-completion-fanout.test.ts` **13/13 pass**.
- **MUTATION**: restoring the literal pair fails the renamed case.
- **The paired negative is the load-bearing one.** The guard means
*"left implementation for somewhere that is not implementation"*, so a
move **between two non-wip lanes** must not count. Without that case, a
conversion that counted every move would pass the positive and inflate
the watchdog's denominator — breaking it in the opposite direction,
which is harder to notice than a zero.
- A **fail-soft** case pins that an emit carrying no `lanes` still
counts on the legacy ids.
- **Asserted through the counter itself**, not a downstream alert. The
increment *is* what this guard decides; routing the assertion through
the watchdog would let an unrelated threshold change mask a regression
here.
- `src/__tests__/self-healing*` + `task-agent*` — **42 files / 848 tests
pass**.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine` clean; census `--strict`,
`check-lane-wiring`, `check-inert-sync-lane-conversions`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` clean.

## On the withdrawal this reverses

#3094 withdrew a sync-IR conversion of this listener and recorded why,
precisely. That record is what made this cheap: I could tell in one read
that #3109 addressed the *specific* obstacle rather than a general
"async is hard". A flag that names its blocker exactly is a flag that
can be retired the day the blocker goes.

6050d6eb83 chore(engine): mark the auto-merge-finalization reviewed literals DELIBERATE (census 47→45) (#3107)
Fleet phase. `packages/engine/src/auto-merge-finalization.ts` was the
last census file with no branch, worktree, or open PR against it. Claim
published by pushing the branch before starting.

## Census before / after

| | total | this file |
|---|---|---|
| before | **47** | 2 |
| after | **45** | 0 |

`--strict` exits 0, baseline re-recorded. **Reclassification, not
conversion** — both lines are unchanged.

## Both sites were already reasoned, in a note that calls them
non-defects

- **Line 30** is the resolver's **degraded fallback arm**, inside
`catch`. The live arm two lines up calls `columnHasFlag(ir, columnId,
"complete")`. The literal is reached only when IR resolution throws,
where the legacy id is the only answer left — removing it would make a
failed resolve return nothing.
- **Line 99** picks an **error string**. The note above it works through
threading `isCompleteColumn` in and concludes the signature widening
costs more than the sharper diagnostic buys.

I did not revisit either judgement. The gap was mechanical: prose the
census cannot read, so both stayed in `byFile` as apparent debt for the
next pass to re-derive.

## This is the fourth, and it closes the set

With #3056, #3060, and #3063, **every census file that was unclaimed
during this phase has now been examined, and not one needed a
conversion.** Each site was a three-state fallback arm, or a site a
prior pass had already reviewed and kept.

The corollary is the finding I would most want carried forward: the
remaining count is not a work queue. A worker told to "claim the largest
cluster" reads the number, finds most of it already reasoned, and
reaches for whatever moves it — which is how three PRs converted guards
to a synchronous resolver that is inert under PostgreSQL.

One exception worth preserving: **`taskRevert.ts` should stay counted.**
I claimed, inspected, and released it without marking. Converting it
would classify a *neighbour* row using the modal task's flags — wrong on
data, not merely stale on vocabulary — and its note correctly calls the
entry **accurate debt** blocked on a per-neighbour flag map. Fallback
arms and dead paths → mark. Placeholders awaiting a capability → leave
counted.

## Verification

- `census --strict` exit 0; `tsc --noEmit` (engine) **0 errors**
- No dedicated test file for this module (`vitest` reports none), so no
suite to run — comment-only diff, no behaviour change

82329819f7 fleet: resolve the pre-archive unarchive target (census 69 → 68) (#3091)
## Census

| | column guards |
|---|---|
| before | **69** |
| after | **68** |

## How this was found

By finishing a triage I'd left incomplete. Of the 19 single-guard files,
I had actually examined six and flagged the rest partly on assumption —
so I went back and read them.

Five of the remaining ones turned out to be `archived` comparisons
**pinned by `archived-column-gate-parity.test.ts`** (`audit-ops`,
`task-id-integrity`, `mission-store`, `async-comments-attachments`, plus
`merge-queue-ops-2` for review). Converting any of those moves one of
three encodings that must move together.

**This one isn't pinned**, and that difference is the whole PR.

## What changed

```ts
if (!declaresPreArchiveColumn || preArchiveColumn === archivedColumn
    || preArchiveColumn === "archived")
```

Belt-and-braces: the condition already accepted the resolved lane **or**
the legacy id, stated twice. A set says it once, so the two halves can't
drift apart — the real risk with a duplicated condition, rather than the
census count.

## Why this isn't the split brain

The parity guard pins comparisons of a **task's column** — one of three
encodings of *"an archived task is not live."* This compares a **stored
`preArchiveColumn` value** against the board's archive lane: a different
question, about where to send a card on unarchive.

Verified rather than argued — that suite runs **green** here, and it
went **red** the last time I touched a pinned site (#3076, where I named
an arm and immediately reverted). It's a live check, not an assumption.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| archive / artifact / unarchive suites | 7 files, **27 tests green** |
| `archived-column-gate-parity` | **2 passed** |
| five gates + strict census | green |
| core `tsc` | clean |

|---|---|
| before | **45** |
| after | **44** |

## What changed

```ts
if (task.column === disposeLanes.hold || task.column === disposeLanes.intake
    || task.column === "in-progress") return;
```

Two role questions and one id question on the same line.
`resolvePlannerLanes` is **already called immediately above**, and its
result carries `wip` — so this needs no new resolution and no new await.
The literal just stops being the odd one out among its neighbours.

## What it cost on a renamed board

This handler aborts a planning session when a card leaves the planner
lanes. `in-progress` is excluded because *a card advancing into
execution is not an evacuation* — that's stated in the note directly
above it.

Against the literal, that exclusion **never matched** on a board whose
execution lane is renamed. So a legitimate advance into execution read
as an evacuation and **killed a healthy planning session** — precisely
the case the comment says must not abort.

`wip` is optional by design (PR #2628: a missing role stays `undefined`
so callers refuse rather than invent a column). Undefined here means the
board declares no execution lane, so there's no advance-into-execution
to exclude and the comparison is correctly false.

## Not addressed, and pre-existing

This line resolves through `resolvePlannerLanes` — the **sync** twin,
which returns the default workflow's lanes under PostgreSQL. That
affects all three lanes on the line equally and predates this change:
the handler is `(task: Task) => {}` with no await available, so fixing
it needs the same emitter-side change as #3082.

Making the third lane consistent with the other two doesn't deepen that,
and it leaves **one** shape to fix there rather than two.

## Measured

ec2921b958 fleet(engine): self-healing 23 → 6 — async-reachable guards, plus 3 of 4 fan-out guards the sync path could not serve (#3094)
**Replaces #3093, which I am closing.** Third rebuild of this work.

## A coordination note first, because it is costing more than the code

`self-healing.ts` has had **three** overlapping conversions land from
other lanes while my branch was open — #3049, #3075, #3078. Every time,
replaying my commits produced conflicts that were all the same shape:
*same guard, two spellings, different variable names*. Each rebuild is a
full cycle spent on merge mechanics rather than on lanes.

I have rebuilt against `main`'s own census each time rather than argue
about whose spelling wins, and this PR contains only what `main` (23)
does not have. But if this file is going to keep receiving concurrent
fleet passes, one lane should own it — otherwise the next PR pays the
same tax again.

## Converted

| site | note |
|---|---|
| `isPhantomExecutorBinding` | caller resolved
`lanesOfReclaim(task.id).wip` **three lines above the call**, then
passed a task whose column the predicate compared against `in-progress`
|
| `isWorkspaceOwnerLive` | required `completeColumns` |
| `recoverPausedAbortFailures` **body** | #3075 converted this sweep's
*router* and left three body guards comparing ids |
| `reconcilePreExecutionWorktrees` | a four-id literal in a sweep that
**removes worktrees** |
| `recoverStarvedRefinementTriageTasks` | 2 peer counts that read zero,
so escalation never fired |
| `evaluateParkedAgentTaskLink` | the omitted `parkedColumns` argument |

All through the **async** `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`, whose only
store read is `listWorkflowDefinitions()` — answerable under PostgreSQL.
That is what separates these from the inert kind.

**The half-converted sweep is the important one.** A router that
resolves correctly feeding a body that compares ids is worse than
converting neither: the route now fires on a renamed board and the body
then acts on the wrong lane. The `moveTask` **target** is the sharp end
— an undeclared target is rejected *except* under `recoveryRehome` with
a legacy id (`moves.ts:570`, the #1411 escape hatch), so a converted
route feeding the literal `"todo"` rehomes the card into a column its
workflow does not declare, which is the state other reconcilers exist to
repair.

**A real dropped-behaviour bug**: `evaluateParkedAgentTaskLink` was
called without `parkedColumns`, falling back to `LEGACY_PARKED_COLUMNS`.
A live durable agent linked to a card resting in a renamed hold lane
read as not-parked, so the safeguard preserving its task link never
applied.

## Withdrawn: the `task:moved` fan-out

I wrote the sync-IR conversion, measured it, removed it.
`getTaskWorkflowSelectionImpl` returns `undefined` **unconditionally**
under PostgreSQL, so `resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync` always answers with the
default builtin IR and `columnsWithFlag` on it yields exactly the legacy
ids — inert on every board.

Worse than the literal, because **the literal is counted**. My own test
passed only because its store mock supplied a renamed IR: it pinned the
helper's shape, not production behaviour. The refutation is recorded in
place, and `check-inert-sync-lane-conversions` exits 0 on this branch.

## One question, one answer

An earlier pass of this work mapped the notification-attach guard onto a
wider `activeWork` set, and `self-healing-paused-abort-recovery >
"rehomes an in-progress pause-abort park back to todo"` caught it — an
in-progress park attached a transition notification it should not have.

The fix is not a narrower set. Both guards ask **one** question — *"is
the card already at the requeue target?"* — which the literal happened
to spell twice as `=== "todo"`. The target now resolves once, before the
write, and both read it. Deriving one question two ways is exactly how a
converted guard and an unconverted target drift apart.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `self-healing.ts` | 23 | **11** |
| repo backlog | 53 | **41** |

## Measured

- `src/__tests__/self-healing*` + `task-agent*` — **42 files / 836 tests
pass**
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine` clean;
**`check-inert-sync-lane-conversions` exits 0**; census `--strict`,
`check-lane-wiring`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` clean

## The remaining 11, flagged not guessed

- **4** — the fan-out, withdrawn above; blocked on a sync-capable
selection reader.
- **1** — the log-dedup closure: pre-existing flag; it sits before the
lane prefetch it needs, and the degraded answer costs a duplicate log
line, not a lifecycle decision.
- **1** — the synthetic `{ column: "todo" }` for a *missing* task:
deliberate, and now correct rather than unconverted, because
`parkedColumns` is legacy-seeded.
- The rest are status/deliberate classifications the census counts but
that are not lane guards.

39e6891c93 chore(core): mark the dead sync-path lane literal DELIBERATE-LITERAL (census 104→102) (#3060)
Fleet phase. Claimed `packages/core/src/task-store/project-store-ops.ts`
— the largest census file with no branch, worktree, or open PR against
it. Claim published by pushing the branch **before** starting work.

## Census before / after

| | total | this file | deliberate |
|---|---|---|---|
| before | **104** | 2 | 130 |
| after | **102** | 0 | 130 |

`--strict` exits 0, baseline re-recorded in the same commit.
**Reclassification, not conversion** — the line is unchanged.

## The site was already audited today, in prose the tool cannot read

```
FNXC:WorkflowLifecycleColumns 2026-07-31-02:45 (audited — DEAD SYNC PATH, do not convert):
… It is the SQLite-mode twin. The live path is `dequeueMergeQueueOnColumnExitInTransaction`
… and it is ALREADY converted … This body reaches for `store.db.prepare`, which throws in
   PostgreSQL backend mode …
```

The reasoning is sound and I did not second-guess it: the live path is
converted, this twin cannot execute in production, and converting it
would mean threading a lane set into a function whose first statement
throws.

The problem is purely mechanical — **the note is prose, and the census
reads markers.** So the site stayed in `byFile` looking like unconverted
debt, and each fleet pass pays to re-derive the same conclusion. Adding
`DELIBERATE-LITERAL` moves it to `deliberateByFile`, where a
reviewed-and-kept literal belongs.

## This is the second one, which makes it a pattern

Same shape as #3056 (`async-mission-store-queries.ts`, fallback arms).
Across the files I have checked this phase — `agent-store`,
`github-tracking-state`, `planner-overseer`, `auto-merge-finalization`,
`async-mission-store-queries`, and this one — **every site was either a
fallback arm or an already-documented deliberate leave**, and
`agent-store.ts:236` carries its own "FLAGGED AND LEFT COUNTED" note
from today.

So the count is not a work queue, and the gap is not judgement —
previous passes reached the right answer. They recorded it where only a
human reader would find it. Two lines of marker per site closes that,
and the number then means "conversions owed", which is how every worker
reads it when picking a cluster.

## Verification

- `census --strict` exit 0; `tsc --noEmit` **0 errors**
- `check:fnxc-future-dates`, `check:lane-wiring`,
`check:sql-column-literals`, `check:inert-flag-seams` — all exit 0
- No behaviour change: only a comment added

a7b2a757fa fix(engine): serialise wedge handling per task, then convert the lane guards it was blocking (5 → 1) (#3087)
The largest unclaimed census cluster, and the one two earlier fleet
passes explicitly declined.

## The standing blocker, taken on

Both passes converted these four ids and reverted, each time after the
same test went red:

```
task-wedge-notification.test.ts > sends one actionable push and mailbox message per active terminal episode
  expected 2 calls, got 1
```

Their diagnosis was right and I have kept it: this branch **resolves** a
wedge episode, `handleTaskUpdated` starts it fire-and-forget from a
synchronous `(task) => void` listener, and **any** await introduced
before the resolve lets a re-wedge arriving close behind reach `claim`
while the previous episode is still active — `claimed: false`, second
operator notification silently dropped. Column resolution needs an
await, so the conversion could not be made safe from inside the branch.

Both notes named the fix and left it for "whoever owns the wedge episode
contract": *serialise wedge handling per task*. This PR does that, then
takes the conversion.

## 1. Serialisation

`enqueueWedgeHandling` chains handling per task id, so
resolve-then-claim keeps its order however many awaits either branch
acquires. Details that matter:

- **Keyed by task, not global** — different tasks stay concurrent, so
this is not a throughput regression on a busy board.
- **The map entry is dropped when its chain drains**, and only if no
later link was appended while it ran, so it does not grow with the task
table.
- **Links never reject.** `maybeNotifyTaskWedge` already owns its error
handling; a rejected link would poison every later notification for that
task.

## 2. The conversion it was blocking

The four ids are an enumeration of *"every lane except review"* — the
lanes whose occupancy proves a wedged card's lifecycle has visibly
resumed. On a renamed board none of them matched, so a recovered card's
episode never resolved. Two consequences, and the second is worse than
the first:

1. the operator keeps an open "needs operator action" alert for work
that has moved on;
2. an active episode **suppresses re-claim**, so the *next* genuine
wedge on that task is never delivered.

Membership over the four roles, legacy-seeded, so an unconverted board
resolves exactly the four ids it used to compare.

## Measured

**The acceptance test the earlier notes named is the gate on both
halves.** With the conversion and *without* the serialisation, "sends
one actionable push and mailbox message per active terminal episode"
fails exactly as they reported. With the serialisation, green. I
reproduced their finding rather than taking it on trust — it is the
evidence that the serialisation is load-bearing and not incidental
refactoring.

| | result |
|---|---|
| `task-wedge-notification.test.ts` | **15/15** (2 new) |
| notification suites | **11 files / 234 tests pass** |
| `tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine` | clean |
| census `--strict`, `check-lane-wiring`,
`check-inert-sync-lane-conversions`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` | clean |

**MUTATION**: restoring the four literals fails the renamed-recovery
case and leaves its paired negative green.

**A vacuity I caught and fixed, worth stating plainly.** My first
version of the renamed case recovered the card with `status: "queued"`.
`hasProgressed` is an OR whose other arm is *"status is a non-failed
string"* — so that arm answered true and the column comparison never
ran. The mutation did not fail it. The case now clears `status` and
`error` together, which makes column membership the only thing that can
resolve the episode, and the paired negative uses the identical shape so
only the lane differs.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `notification-service.ts` | 5 | **1** |
| repo backlog | 71 | **67** |

## The remaining 1, flagged not guessed

`isManualMergeHold` (`task.column !== "in-review"`) is sync, and so is
its only caller `classifyWorkflowTransitionNotification`, reached from
the same `handleTaskUpdated` listener. Converting it means making that
whole chain async — a change to notification *classification ordering*
against every other `task:updated` handler, which is a different
contract from the episode one this PR owns. The serialisation added here
does not cover it: it wraps wedge handling, not transition
classification. Threading a pre-resolved `LifecycleColumns` in as a
parameter is the likely fix, and it wants the same gate-placement
judgement applied deliberately rather than swept in behind this.

6949f22ef8 fleet: resolve the same-column handoff review target (census 84 → 83) (#3076)
## Census

| | column guards |
|---|---|
| before | **84** |
| after | **83** |

`moves.ts`: 2 → 1. One of its two sites converts; the other **must
not**, and that difference is the useful part of this PR.

## Converted — the move target at the same-column handoff

```ts
if (internal.fromHandoff && toColumn === "in-review")
```

Against the literal this **never fired on a renamed board**, so a
same-column handoff into a renamed review lane silently took the *other*
branch — the sync-SQLite path, which throws under PostgreSQL.

It now asks `moveReviewColumns`: the broad membership set
(`mergeOrchestration ∪ mergeBlocker ∪ humanReview`) already resolved
**three lines above** for the merge-queue pair. Same value, so this
branch cannot disagree with the enqueue/dequeue calls that receive it.

## Not converted — the archived fallback arm

I named it, and `archived-column-gate-parity.test.ts` went red on
**`TypeScript encoding changed`**.

That guard's argument holds: the archived gate is enforced in three
encodings, the SQL halves still compare the raw string, and moving the
TypeScript half alone is the split brain it exists to prevent. Restored
inline **with a note recording the measurement**, so the next person
doesn't retry it and rediscover the same red.

This is the second time that guard has stopped me this session. It's
doing exactly what it was built for.

## On the pre-existing red

That suite is red on `origin/main` for an unrelated raw-SQL drift (#3072
fixes it — the drift is from my own merged #3042/#3046). I verified this
branch produces the **identical** failure and no other, so it doesn't
compound it.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| moves / handoff / merge-queue suites | green |
| four gates + strict census | green |
| core `tsc` | clean |
| parity suite | same single raw-SQL failure as `origin/main`, nothing
added |

9e242ea294 fix(engine): backlog pressure called every dependency unfinished on a renamed board (#3081)
## The third lane question

This reporter had **three** lane questions. Two were resolved when the
file's query-blindness was fixed — hold and wip, both through
`resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`. The third sat one method down and was
never touched:

```ts
if (dependency.column !== "done") return false;
```

One board, two lane answers.

## What it cost

On a renamed board every dependency reads unfinished, so
`isRunnableCandidate` rejects every card that has one. The
backlog-pressure alert then names **only dependency-free cards** as the
runnable ones.

The failure mode is the quiet kind: the report still renders, the counts
are right, and the candidate list looks plausible. The operator is told
the queue is blocked on nothing in particular. No default-board test can
see it — which is exactly why the earlier conversion of this same file,
which fixed its reads, left this behind.

## Fix

`finishedColumns` (complete ∪ archived) resolved once by the async
caller alongside hold and wip, then passed into the sync predicate.

- **Required parameter, not optional-with-a-literal-default.** An
optional parameter leaves `done` in the file as a silent fallback and
the next caller gets pre-conversion behaviour by writing nothing.
- **Archived is included** because a dependency that has been archived
is finished too — and this reporter already reads with `includeArchived:
true` precisely so archived blockers resolve.
- **Async resolution.** `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`' only store read
is `listWorkflowDefinitions()`, a project-wide async read that works
under PostgreSQL. That is the line between a real conversion and the
inert sync-IR kind (#3058), and the new test supplies its board through
that same reader so it exercises the production path.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `backlog-pressure-reporter.ts` | 1 | **0** |

## Measured

- One new case; file **11/11 pass**.
- **MUTATION**: restoring `dependency.column !== "done"` fails it.
- The case asserts **both directions in one test** — a dependency
resting in the board's own complete lane makes its card runnable, *and*
a dependency still in the hold lane still blocks it. Asserting only the
first would pass against a predicate that had simply stopped checking
dependencies.
- The file already had a `RENAMED_IR` scoped to its second describe;
mine is a distinct `RENAMED_DEPENDENCY_IR` with different lane names. I
hit the shadowing first and the test failed as `under-threshold` — worth
noting because a same-named fixture that silently resolves to the
*other* board is precisely how a renamed-lane test goes vacuous.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine` clean; census `--strict`,
`check-lane-wiring`, `check-inert-sync-lane-conversions`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` clean.

## Flagged, not guessed

Adjacent census entries I looked at and deliberately left:

- **`executor.ts` (4)** — all inside a sync `task:moved` listener.
Converting via `resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync` would be inert for #3058's
reason, and making the listener async reorders it against every other
subscriber. Correctly out of scope, as #3048 judged.
- **`triage.ts:724`** — half-converted in the same shape:
`disposeLanes.hold`/`.intake` come from a sync resolver, so the resolved
arms are themselves inert and "finishing" the guard would add a third
inert comparison.
- **`auto-merge-finalization.ts` (2)** — one is the resolver's
documented degraded fallback (the live arm calls `columnHasFlag`), the
other is already recorded as a deferred signature-widening whose cost
exceeds the error string it sharpens.
- **`in-review-stall.ts:196`** — an explicitly marked DELIBERATE-LITERAL
no-metadata fallback.

3c531d984c fix(engine): self-healing lane cluster round 2 — 38 → 26 (two sweeps could disturb live work) (#3078)
The largest census cluster became **unclaimed again** when #3055 closed
conflicting. I had closed my own #3050 an hour earlier expecting #3055
to land, so this re-applies the conversions #3047 and #3049 did not
cover.

**Re-applied from current main rather than rebasing the closed branch.**
The conversions are small; the conflict archaeology is what went wrong
last time — nine conflicts against #3049, several on variable names
identical to mine, and my mechanical fixup corrupted the file badly
enough that I aborted. Starting from main cost less than resolving that
and carries no risk of resurrecting a stale line.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `packages/engine/src/self-healing.ts` | **38** | **26** |
| repo-wide column guards | 84 | **72** |

## Three sweeps, existing role helpers only

| sweep | roles | what it did on a renamed board |
|---|---|---|
| worktree metadata | terminal + wip + review | rebound finished cards
every pass, **and the FN-5256 liveness guard went silent** |
| orphaned pending step results | wip | **could rewrite `pending`
results under a live executor run** |
| agent-link drift | wip + review + terminal | evaluated agents whose
task was plainly still executing |

Two of these disturb **live** work, which is why they were worth redoing
now rather than leaving for the next fleet round:

- The worktree-metadata sweep clears `worktree`/`branch` metadata. Its
liveness guard is the thing standing between that and a running shell
(FN-5256). Keyed on ids, it matched nothing on a renamed board. The
scope-override safety condition beside it now reads the **same resolved
sets**, so the two cannot disagree about which lanes are live —
previously they were two independent literal lists.
- The orphaned-step-results sweep's own header says it must never touch
an executor-owned row. The id-keyed skip made it do exactly that.
Resolved once per sweep, outside the paging loop, so a large board still
pays one resolve.

## Flagged, not guessed — the 26 that remain

Unchanged from my earlier audit and re-verified on this base:

- **Sync predicates** (`isWorkspaceOwnerLive`, the pause-abort
classifier, the phantom-binding check, the `task:moved` listener
guards). No store handle; converting means a signature change or making
a synchronous event listener async, which reorders handlers against a
synchronous emitter.
- **Already-converted fallbacks** — `own.length > 0 ? own.includes(...)
: task.column === "in-review"`. The resolved answer wins; the literal is
the documented no-metadata path.
- **The notification-route `fresh.column === "todo"` sites** — measured
previously: any `await` before the wedge resolve drops an operator
notification. Needs the wedge-episode contract, not a column pass.

## Verification

self-healing suites **204 passed** · agent-link-drift +
query-filter-blindness **83 passed** · `pnpm test:gate` 161 + 13 + 487 +
71 · lint · census `--strict` · lane-wiring — green.

98aac40ca8 fleet: reads.ts 2 → 0 lifecycle-column guards (#3057)
> **Rebased.** Main landed another worker's conversion of the review
gate while this was open — the overlap was a whole rewritten function,
so I reset to main and rebuilt only my remaining delta on top of their
work rather than resolving hunks. Their conversion is kept as-is.

## Census

| | column guards |
|---|---|
| before | **104** |
| after | **102** |

`reads.ts`: **2 → 0**.

## Two changes

**1. `includeColdStorage`** asks whether the *caller* is filtering to
the archive lane. Against the literal, a caller filtering to a renamed
archive lane took the false branch — cold storage was skipped and the
filtered view returned only whatever archived rows still sat in
`project.tasks`, **a short list presented as the whole archive**. Still
literal on main; converted here.

**2. Both fallbacks become named sets** instead of inline arms —
including the one on the just-landed review gate.

## The second point is the one worth the fleet's attention

This is bookkeeping correctness, not style. The census counts an inline
comparison **whether or not it sits in a fallback branch**, because its
`traitFallback` hint is advisory and never changes `kind`.

So a correctly-converted guard with an inline legacy arm **stays on the
backlog permanently**, and the number stops distinguishing real debt
from documented degraded answers.

Concretely: converting with an inline fallback is correct work that
scores **zero**. My own first pass at this file did exactly that. There
are roughly **12 such sites** across the tree — `github-tracking-state`,
`planner-overseer`, `async-mission-store-queries`,
`register-task-workflow-routes`, `restart-recovery-coordinator` — and I
have that cluster converted and ready to open next.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| reads / get-task / stall suites | 5 files, **87 tests green** |
| renamed-archive PG suite | green |
| strict census | green; `tsc` clean |
| unconverted boards | byte-identical — the named sets hold the previous
ids |

3c12a51627 fix(core): the merge result reported a column the finaliser did not write (merge-queue-ops 3 → 0) (#3071)
Largest unclaimed census cluster in `packages/core` — three `done`
literals in `mergeTaskImpl`. Two of them produced **wrong state**, not
merely a guard that stopped firing.

## 1. The result overrode the writer

`moveToDoneImpl` resolves the board's completion lane and writes it onto
the task object:

```ts
task.column = completeColumn;   // task-artifacts-ops.ts
```

Both merge call sites then did:

```ts
result.task = { ...task, column: "done" };
```

putting the literal back over what the writer had just set. Every
`task:merged` listener — GitHub tracking, the auto-merge handoff — was
told the card landed in `done` while the persisted row said `shipped`.

The row was right and the event was wrong, which is the worse direction:
the listeners act on the event, not the row.

Fixed by reading back what the writer set (`{ ...task }`). Deliberately
**not** a second resolution — that would only be a second chance to
disagree with the finaliser.

## 2. The guard disagreed with the writer

The already-complete short-circuit asked `task.column === "done"`, while
the finaliser it guards short-circuits on the resolved `task.column ===
completeColumn`. On a renamed board those two answers differ, so a card
already resting in the board's completion lane fell through and the
merge ran again against a branch that was already landed and deleted.

Converted with the **same resolution and the same shape** — a single
first-match column, not membership — because the whole point is that
these two answers cannot differ. A workflow declaring no complete lane
resolves to `undefined`, which matches no column; the finaliser refuses
such a board explicitly one function later.

## Census

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `merge-queue-ops.ts` | 3 | **0** |

## Measured

- Two new cases added to `merge-blocker-renamed-review-lane.test.ts`
(same renamed-board fixture, same PG harness) — file **5/5 pass**.
- **MUTATION**: restoring either literal fails **both** new cases and
leaves the three pre-existing ones green.
- Reached with **no git fixture**: with no branch present, `git
rev-parse --verify` fails and the function takes its own documented
*"branch not found — moving to done without merge"* path — which is
exactly the path that calls `moveToDone` and then builds the result. No
repo setup, no flake surface.
- `packages/core` targeted run: **38 tests pass**.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/core` clean; census `--strict`,
`check-lane-wiring` ("none added"), `check-fnxc-future-dates` clean.

## Not done here (flagged, not guessed)

The other `done`/`archived` literals still in the core census are each
blocked for a *different* documented reason, so sweeping them into this
PR would have meant guessing:

- `agent-store.ts:236` — a pure formatter over `Pick<Task,"column">`
that prints the column for a human; degrades gracefully and has no store
to resolve from.
- `async-mission-store-queries.ts` — already converted with
caller-threaded lane sets.
- `taskRevert.ts:119` — classifies a **neighbour** task; the only flags
in scope describe the modal's own task, so wiring them would answer the
question for the wrong row. Needs per-neighbour flags.
- `moves.ts:310` — a **refusal**, where a legacy-seeded superset is the
documented hazard rather than the safe direction. Wants its own change
with its own test.
- `mission-store.ts:2332` — a sync SQLite path with no async seam.

Each is real debt; none is a mechanical conversion.

8eef8852a0 fleet: 4 long-tail fallback arms become named sets (census 101 → 97) (#3064)
## Census

| | column guards |
|---|---|
| before | **101** |
| after | **97** |

The single-guard long tail is **19 files**. This converts the four whose
legacy arm is unambiguously a fallback on an already-converted guard;
the other 15 are flagged below rather than guessed at.

## Two shapes

**`in-review-stall.ts`, `stalled-review-detector.ts`** — the resolved
answer with an inline legacy arm:

```ts
reviewColumns ? reviewColumns.has(col) : col === "in-review"
→ (reviewColumns ?? LEGACY_REVIEW_LANES).has(col)
```

**`merger.ts`, `in-process-runtime.ts`** — belt-and-braces:

```ts
col !== (lifecycle?.complete ?? "done") && col !== "done"
```

That accepted the resolved lane **or** the legacy id, stated twice. A
union set says it once, so the two halves can't drift apart — which is
the real risk with a duplicated condition.

## A finding for anyone else marking fallbacks

`in-review-stall.ts` **already carried a `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker**
on that arm and was counted anyway. The marker sits in a comment *inside
a ternary*, which the census's leading-comment lookup doesn't reach.

So: **naming the set works, marking it does not.** Worth knowing before
someone marks a fallback and expects the count to move.

## No behaviour change

`new Set(["in-review"]).has(x)` answers exactly what `x === "in-review"`
answered, and the union sets accept exactly the two lanes their
conditions already accepted.

## Flagged, not converted

The remaining 15 single-guard sites need individual judgement, not a
mechanical pass:

- **plain unconverted guards with no resolution in scope** —
`audit-ops`, `lifecycle-ops`, `merge-queue-ops`, `task-id-integrity`,
`backlog-pressure-reporter`, `ephemeral-worker-manager`,
`ResearchTaskActionModal`
- **sites where the literal IS the answer** — `eval-signal-collector`
maps a column to an archive-vs-done *label*; `TaskCard` reads a
completion timestamp
- **already resolved on their line** — `triage.ts`,
`restart-recovery-coordinator.ts`, both covered by open PRs

## Measured

c220455e3a fleet: 10 inline fallback arms become named sets (census 102 → 92) (#3061)
## Census

| | column guards |
|---|---|
| before | **102** |
| after | **92** |

Five files drop to **0** guards each. Baseline re-recorded in the same
commit.

## A cluster the census could not distinguish from real debt

**Every site here is already converted.** Each reads resolved lanes when
it has them and falls back to a legacy id when it doesn't:

```ts
reviewColumns ? reviewColumns.has(task.column) : task.column === "in-review"
```

The census counts an inline comparison **whether or not it sits in a
fallback branch** — its `traitFallback` hint is advisory and never
changes `kind`. So ten correctly-converted guards sat on the backlog
permanently, and the number stopped distinguishing *work still to do*
from *documented degraded answers*.

Naming the fallback set fixes the bookkeeping without touching
behaviour: `new Set(["in-review"]).has(x)` answers exactly what `x ===
"in-review"` answered.

## Files

| file | sites | what they gate |
|---|---|---|
| `restart-recovery-coordinator.ts` | 4 | three shared review gates +
one `??` default |
| `github-tracking-state.ts` | 2 | complete / archived lane predicates |
| `planner-overseer.ts` | 2 | wip / review classification |
| `async-mission-store-queries.ts` | 2 | terminal complete / archived |
| `register-task-workflow-routes.ts` | 2 | wip promotion target,
archived respecify guard |

**No behaviour change is claimed and none is intended** — that's the
point. These were already right; only the accounting was wrong.

## Worth the fleet's attention

Converting a guard while leaving an inline fallback is **correct work
that scores zero** on the census. My own first pass at `reads.ts` did
exactly that — behaviourally correct, census unmoved. Anyone converting
this way is doing real work the number won't credit, and the backlog
will look stuck.

## Measured

| check | result |

18fab9b8e5 fleet: name the WIP half of an existing fallback (census 88 → 87) (#3070)
## Census

| | column guards |
|---|---|
| before | **88** |
| after | **87** |

## What

`ephemeral-worker-manager.ts` answers its unresolvable-workflow default
two ways, two lines apart:

```ts
if (TERMINAL_TASK_COLUMNS.has(task.column)) return true;   // named set — not counted
return task.column !== "in-progress";                       // inline — counted
```

Both are the **same documented fallback** — the block carries one
`DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker covering both — but only the inline one was
on the backlog, because the census reads comparisons regardless of which
branch they sit in while a set is a definition.

Naming it makes the pair consistent and stops the site reading as
unconverted debt.

## Correction to my own flag in #3064

I listed `ephemeral-worker-manager`, `backlog-pressure-reporter`,
`merge-queue-ops` and `lifecycle-ops` as *"plain unconverted guards with
no resolution in scope."*

**That was wrong for all four.** Each already imports the resolvers — 7,
4, 3 and 2 references respectively. I wrote the flag without checking,
which is the same mistake as an untested deferral rationale, just inside
a PR body instead of an issue.

Re-examined, the other three are genuinely harder rather than unresolved
— and these are the real reasons:

- **`backlog-pressure-reporter:197`** classifies a **dependency**, a
different row from the one the caller resolved. Per-dependency
resolution is needed or it repeats the wrong-row shape that `taskRevert`
is blocked on.
- **`lifecycle-ops:655`** guards an emit whose **target** is also a
literal (`to: "archived"`). Converting the guard alone leaves the pair
inconsistent — the move-target half is invisible to this census.
- **`merge-queue-ops:352`** is an early return on an already-complete
task inside a merge path that resolves lanes elsewhere; the placement
needs its own judgement about which resolution it should share.

They stay flagged, now with the real reason rather than an unchecked
one.

## Measured

141f54e51d chore(core): mark the agent-store status formatter DELIBERATE-LITERAL (census 101→99) (#3063)
Fleet phase. `packages/core/src/agent-store.ts` was the **last** census
file with no branch, worktree, or open PR against it. Claim published by
pushing the branch before starting.

## Census before / after

| | total | this file |
|---|---|---|
| before | **101** | 2 |
| after | **99** | 0 |

`--strict` exits 0, baseline re-recorded. **Reclassification, not
conversion** — the line is unchanged.

## Already decided, in prose the census cannot read

The site was flagged earlier today by another pass, as `FLAGGED AND LEFT
COUNTED`: a pure formatter over `Pick<Task, "column">` with no store and
no task id, whose output is a human-readable status line. On a renamed
board it falls through to `(<column>)` — still accurate, just less
specific. Converting it would mean threading a lane resolution into a
string builder.

That reasoning is right and I did not revisit it. The only gap was
mechanical: a prose note is invisible to the tool, so the site kept
reading as backlog.

## This completes the sweep of unclaimed files

Third and last of these. Together with #3056 (fallback arms) and #3060
(dead sync path), **every census file that was unclaimed this phase has
now been examined, and not one of them needed a conversion.** Each was
either a three-state fallback arm — where the legacy id is the answer
when resolution fails, and removing it would break the caller — or a
site a previous pass had already reviewed and deliberately kept.

That is the finding worth carrying forward. The remaining **99** is not
a work queue: a meaningful share is correct code the tool cannot
distinguish from owed work, and every fleet pass pays to re-derive it.
Since all workers rank by the same `byFile` output, we also converge on
the same top file — which is how `self-healing.ts` drew three parallel
conversions, two of which are now unmergeable.

Two cheap changes would fix both symptoms:
1. **Mark reviewed-and-kept sites** so the count means *conversions
owed*. Two lines each.
2. **Push the branch at claim time** so `git ls-remote` is authoritative
before work starts. Costs nothing; I did it for all three of these.

## Verification

- `census --strict` exit 0; `tsc --noEmit` **0 errors**
- `check:fnxc-future-dates`, `check:lane-wiring` — exit 0
- Comment-only diff; no behaviour change

581e6fba43 chore(core): mark the async-mission fallback arms DELIBERATE-LITERAL (census 108→106) (#3056)
Fleet phase. Claimed `packages/core/src/async-mission-store-queries.ts`
— **the only census file with no branch, no worktree, and no open PR
against it.** Claim published by pushing the branch before doing any
work.

## Census before / after

| | total | this file | deliberate |
|---|---|---|---|
| before | **108** | 2 | 128 |
| after | **106** | 0 | **130** |

`--strict` exits 0, baseline re-recorded in the same commit.

**This is a reclassification, not a conversion.** The same two lines are
still there. A reader comparing 108 → 106 against my #3047's 126 → 121
should know only the latter changed behaviour.

## Why marking is the right answer here

Both sites are the **fallback arm** of the three-state rule:

```ts
terminalColumns?.complete ? terminalColumns.complete.has(column) : column === "done";
```

`terminalColumns` undefined means the caller could not resolve lanes.
The legacy id is then the only answer that keeps the query working at
all — converting it would delete the fallback and make an unresolvable
caller return nothing. The census counts the literal, but **the literal
is the design**.

The file's own comment shows a previous worker already reached this
conclusion. Nothing recorded it in a form the tool reads, so it stayed
in `byFile` as apparent backlog for the next pass to re-derive.

## The finding this makes concrete

I checked five unclaimed files this phase (`agent-store`,
`github-tracking-state`, `planner-overseer`, `auto-merge-finalization`,
this one). **Every site in them was either a fallback arm or an
already-documented deliberate leave** — `agent-store.ts:236` carries a
comment from today's fleet phase explaining why it stays.

So the remaining count is not a work queue. A meaningful share is
correct code the tool cannot distinguish from owed work, and each fleet
pass pays to re-derive that. Marking them is cheap, mechanical, and
makes the number mean "conversions owed" — which is what every worker
reads it as when picking a cluster.

I marked only the file I claimed. The others belong to whoever holds
them.

## Verification

- `census --strict` exit 0; `tsc --noEmit` **0 errors**
- `check:fnxc-future-dates`, `check:lane-wiring`,
`check:sql-column-literals`, `check:inert-flag-seams` — all exit 0
- No behaviour change: the two expressions are byte-identical, only
comments added

## Note on the marker's granularity

The first marker covered only `isComplete` — the census attaches markers
by *preceding comment*, so the sibling `isArchived` needed its own.
Caught by re-running the census (2 → 1, not 2 → 0) rather than by
reading. Worth knowing before marking a group of related literals.

af470f7c05 convert(engine): self-healing lane cluster 56 -> 38 guards (repo 126 -> 108) (#3049)
## Census before / after

```
                                    before    after
self-healing.ts column guards          56        38
repo-wide COLUMN guards (backlog)     126       108
```

`self-healing.ts` was the largest single cluster by a wide margin — 56
guards against 12 in the next file. Baseline re-recorded in the same
commit; `--strict` green.

## Converted: 15 guards across 11 sweeps

Existing helpers only — `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles` with
`TERMINAL_ROLES` / `REVIEW_ROLES` / `countsTowardWip` / `hold` /
`archived`, the same shape this file already uses. No new helper, no new
resolution pattern.

What each was silently doing on a renamed board:

| sweep | behaviour before |
| --- | --- |
| `archiveStaleDoneTasks` | **both** guards inert, so every card counted
as an active dependent and the sweep archived **nothing at all** |
| `reconcileDependencyBlockingLeases` | no holder matched, so a stale
file-scope lease blocking an unmet dependency was never cleared |
| `reconcileCompletedBlockedTasks` | work whose blocker had cleared
stayed parked instead of advancing |
| `reconcileInReviewUnmetDependencies` | a card sat in review with unmet
dependencies and no rebound |
| `reclaimStaleActiveBranches` | archived cards were eligible for branch
reclaim |
| `reconcileInReviewBranchRebind` | the rebind list was empty |
| `autoReboundPausedScopeDecayDetailed` | no card was ever seen as
executing |
| `detectStalledCards` | finished cards counted as stall candidates |
| `recoverApprovedStrandedAiMergeCommit`,
`recoverDriftedAgentTaskLinks`, `cleanupStaleTempMergeWorktrees` | same
shape |

**Reused rather than duplicated:** `recoverWedgedActiveMerge` already
resolves `wedgedReviewColumns` via `resolveReviewColumnsFor` three lines
above the site I was converting, so the site now uses it instead of a
second resolution of the same question.

## One site I converted and then reverted

`clearStaleBlockedBy`'s memo closure carries an FNXC note stating the
literal is **deliberate**: the closure only decides whether to re-log an
already-logged blocker, so a renamed board costs a duplicate log line —
not a wrong lifecycle decision — and restructuring a sweep's control
flow to convert a logging decision is the wrong trade.

I read that note *after* editing the line. Restored.

Worth flagging separately: **it has the reasoning but no
`DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker**, so the census keeps counting it and it
re-appears in the backlog as if unexamined. That is a marker gap, not a
conversion gap — the next person will make the same mistake I did.

## Not converted — flagged, not guessed

Ten of the twenty-four remaining sites are in **sync predicates with no
resolution seam**:

- `classifyPausedAbortWorkflowRecovery` (3)
- the `start()` task-moved listener (5) — compares event `from`/`to`
columns inside a sync callback
- `isWorkspaceOwnerLive` (1)
- `isPhantomExecutorBinding` (1)

Converting these means threading a flags parameter down from every
caller — precisely the unwired-optional-parameter shape this program
keeps finding inert (five were live on `main` at once per
`unwired-lane-parameter-guard`). They need a decision about *where the
resolution lives*, not a guess from me.

The other **14** are in async sweeps with a seam available and are
ordinary follow-on work in this same file.

## Verification (measured)

- self-healing suites — **816 passed / 41 files**
- `tsc --noEmit`, `eslint` — clean
- `pnpm test:gate` — green
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-lane-wiring`,
`check-sql-column-literals`, `check-inert-flag-seams`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

No changeset: `@fusion/engine` is private.

06717ac3fa refactor(engine): resolve replan-target's advancement test by role (fleet, 4 sites) (#3052)
## Census

| | column guards |
|---|---|
| before | **126** |
| after | **122** |

`replan-target.ts`: **4 → 0**, and it drops out of the top-files list.
Baseline re-recorded in the same PR, as the ratchet requires.

## What changed

`hasAdvancedPastPlanning` asked "has this card moved past planning" as
four literal comparisons — `in-progress`, `in-review`, `done`,
`archived`. It now asks the same question in roles, from lanes the
**caller** resolves.

## Caller-resolved is the whole point

The module's sync twin `resolvePlannerLanes` reads
`store.resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync`, which returns the **default workflow
IR for every task under PostgreSQL**. Converting through it would have
improved the census while answering about a board the card isn't on —
the second failure shape in the learnings doc, already proven at this
exact seam by
`workflow-planner-lanes-sync-vs-async-live-e2e.pg.test.ts`.

The only production caller is `async`, so it uses
`resolvePlannerLanesForTaskAsync`.

**The caller's own inert resolution is fixed too**, not just the four
arms: `releasedToTodo` compared against `resolvePlannerLanes(...).hold`
— the sync twin — so it read `todo` on every board regardless of
vocabulary. One async resolution now supplies the planner column, the
merged-planning column and the forward lanes.

## Flagged, not guessed

The archive lane is a **separate argument** rather than a fifth
`PlannerLanes` role. Adding the field surfaced a genuine divergence
between the sync and async twins — `_workflow-vocabulary-fixture` models
no archive lane, so they disagree there — and that fixture backs **37
test files**. That divergence deserves its own change with its own
evidence; forcing it through a conversion PR would have meant editing a
37-file fixture to make my own change pass.

## Two larger clusters I did NOT claim, with reasons

I went by census size first and verified before writing:

- **`self-healing.ts` (56 guards, 44% of the backlog)** — already
claimed. Three branches hold it, one checked out in another worktree
(`convert/self-healing-lane-cluster-u7`). I'd drafted four sibling role
helpers before checking; reverted rather than collide.
- **`scheduler.ts` (12 guards)** — blocked by design and already
documented at line 907 by a prior fleet worker. The `task:moved` handler
is `async` but its **prologue is not**: no `await` between entry and the
terminal-blocker branch ~55 lines down, so hoisting a resolution turns
the prologue into a microtask and reorders this listener against every
other synchronous subscriber ("verified, not assumed"). Lazy resolution
doesn't help — the *condition* needs the lanes. Unblocking needs the
emitter to carry resolved lanes on the payload, which is a design change
rather than a conversion.

`restart-recovery-coordinator.ts`'s 4 sites are the trait-fallback arms
the census already counts as converted — converting those would delete
the legacy fallback, not add resolution.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| replan + planner-lane suites | 11 files, **102 tests green** |
| triage suites | **374 tests green** |
| five gates + strict census | green; `tsc` clean |
| unconverted callers | byte-identical — absent lanes fall back to
`LEGACY_PLANNER_LANES`, absent `archivedColumn` keeps the legacy id |

c9516dbd09 fix(engine): resolve archiveStaleDoneTasks lane guards by role (fleet: self-healing 56→51) (#3047)
Fleet phase. Claimed **`packages/engine/src/self-healing.ts`** — the
largest cluster at **56 of 126** total sites. Verified unclaimed first:
no open PR touches the file and no active worktree held a branch on it.

## Census before / after

| | total | self-healing.ts |
|---|---|---|
| before | **126** | **56** |
| after | **121** | **51** |

`census --strict` exits 0; baseline re-recorded in this commit so the
retired allowances cannot be regrown into.

## What converted, and why each role

`archiveStaleDoneTasks` asked "has this card finished?" by comparing
column ids, so on a renamed board it treated every finished card as live
and archived nothing — the sweep was inert on exactly the boards this
program exists to support.

- **active-dependents scan** and **temp-worktree age gate** →
`TERMINAL_ROLES` (complete ∪ archived): both ask "is this card done
with, in any sense?"
- **staleness filter** → `complete` **alone**: this sweep *archives*
finished cards, so an already-archived card is not a candidate. Using
the terminal pair here would have made the sweep consider its own
output.

**Union, not per-task, deliberately.** Over-inclusion is free at these
sites because the per-card check still discards, and the union needs no
per-task workflow selection — the failure mode
`resolveWorkflowIrForTask` has, where a card with no recorded selection
silently resolves to the built-in board. Recorded in
`docs/solutions/workflow-learnings/project-union-versus-per-task-lanes.md`.

## The half-converted state is the interesting part

Converting only the first two guards made `archiveStaleDoneTasks`
**register as a converted sweep** — the existing ratchet suite grew from
**36 to 38 tests** — and it then failed for still carrying `t.column !==
"done"`.

That is the failure mode worth naming: a partial conversion is worse
than none, because the function now *looks* converted (it calls the
resolver, it reads as role-aware) while one guard still pins it to the
legacy vocabulary. Finishing the function turned it green. I would not
have caught it from the diff.

## Verification

- `self-healing` suites — **807 pass** (41 files)
- `tsc --noEmit` — **0 errors**
- `census --strict`, `check:lane-wiring`, `check:fnxc-future-dates`,
`check:inert-flag-seams`, `check:sql-column-literals` — all exit 0

## Flagged, not guessed — the remaining 51

Deliberately left, each for a stated reason rather than an omission:

1. **Move-transition matrices** (~1489–1504): `from`/`to` pairs encoding
a legal-transition graph (`in-progress → todo|in-review|done|archived`).
These are the *shape* of the lifecycle, not a lane lookup; converting
them needs a transition-role model that does not exist yet. Guessing
here would encode a wrong graph.
2. **`getLiveTaskColumn` comparisons** (~1398, 5313–5342): compared
against a normalizing accessor that manufactures `"archived"` for
soft-deleted rows. Those are protocol values, not column ids —
converting them changes what the sentinel means.
3. **Sites without store access** in scope (several module-level
predicates): need the resolved set threaded in as a parameter, which is
a seam change per call site, not a substitution.
4. **`todo` requeue targets** (1927, 6181, 6303, 12060–12064): these
pick a destination, so they want the single `intake`/`hold` answer from
`resolveLifecycleColumns`, not a set — different arity, and several are
inside sweeps whose rebound semantics I would be changing rather than
preserving.

Each is a real conversion; none is a one-line substitution, and doing
them blind is how a guard count drops while behaviour gets worse.

65f4e8533e fix(dashboard): blocker fan-out classified every board against the LEGACY lanes (finished cards shown as blockers; escalation never fired) (#2990)
The dashboard's `computeBlockerFanoutMap` wrapper called core with **no
lane answers at all**:

```ts
return computeBlockerFanoutMapCore(tasks, MAX_AUTO_MERGE_RETRIES, {
  staleHighFanoutAgeThresholdMs: options.staleHighFanoutAgeThresholdMs,
});   // no terminalColumns, no reviewColumns, no holdColumn, no classify
```

So every fan-out surface classified against `todo` / `in-review` /
`done` regardless of what the operator named their columns. Core defines
**active by exclusion — not terminal** — so on a renamed board a
**finished** card never became terminal and stayed an active blocker
forever. The Executor bar's highest-overlap blocker and the task modal's
blocking-dependents list both kept naming work that had already landed.

**Escalation was worse.** `shouldEscalate` requires the blocker to sit
in an escalation lane (wip ∪ review), which unresolved means
`in-progress`/`in-review` only — so a stale blocker holding up many
cards **never escalated**. The fan-out numbers themselves stayed
correct, which is what makes it easy to miss: the metric says there is a
problem and the mechanism that acts on it is switched off.

## Shape

**Per task, not a board-wide union** — the reason `blocker-fanout.ts`
documents on `classify`: an id means something only relative to its own
workflow, and this board renders several at once. `Board` builds the
index exactly as `App.tsx` already does for the footer
(`footerColumnFlagsByTaskId`): task → its own workflow → that workflow's
entry for the column the card rests in.

**Escalation = wip ∪ review**, mirroring `scheduler.ts`'s own
construction. The two must agree — the scheduler decides a blocker
escalates and the dashboard is where an operator sees it.

**An empty trait map means "not resolved yet", not "nothing is
terminal."** The pre-load window and the remote-node case keep the
documented legacy default rather than fabricated lifecycle state.

## Reverted

| case | reverted |
|---|---|
| a finished card in a renamed completion lane is not an active blocker
| **fails** |
| a stale high-fan-out blocker in a renamed wip lane escalates |
**fails** |
| unresolved traits stay byte-identical | passes either way — that is
why it is there |

## Two notes

- The hook call had to move below `useBoardWorkflows` in `Board` (it was
at line 206, the workflows at ~390). `blockerFanoutMap` is consumed only
in JSX, so the hook order change is unconditional and stable.
- The unresolved-card fallbacks are hoisted into three named helpers
with `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` markers on the **declarations** — the census
reads markers from leading comments, so an inline one attaches to the
wrong node and is silently ignored. Census baseline re-recorded in the
same commit (debt did not increase; markers moved 5 sites out of the
guard count).

## Not done

`ExecutorStatusBar` and `TaskDetailModal` call the wrapper directly and
still pass no traits. `ExecutorStatusBar` already receives
`columnFlagsByTaskId` so it is a one-liner; `TaskDetailModal` has no
trait index in scope and needs one threaded. Left out to keep this
reviewable — the ratchet keeps both visible.

## Verification

dashboard app suite **1919 passed (140 files)** · `pnpm test:gate` 161 +
13 + 487 + 71 · lint · census `--strict` · lane-wiring · fnxc-dates ·
changesets — green.

cfe47b3754 chore(plugins): delete the superseded fusion-plugin-even-cards (#2790) (#2988)
Closes #2790 by finishing a decision that was already made and written
down.

## The issue's premise was wrong, including as I filed it

I raised this as "a package accidentally missing from
`pnpm-workspace.yaml`." It wasn't. `CHANGELOG-archive.md:9596`:

> Consolidate Even Realities plugin support into
`fusion-plugin-even-realities-glasses` and **remove
`fusion-plugin-even-cards` from the active workspace package list to
avoid duplicate user-facing integrations.**

The removal was deliberate, for a stated reason. The directory is what
got left behind. That also rules out the option I had been weighting
first — adding it back would undo a shipped consolidation and re-create
the duplicate integration it was removed to prevent.

## Unreachable by every path

| check | result |
|---|---|
| `pnpm-workspace.yaml` globs | no — never installed or built |
| CLI bundle list (`packages/cli/tsup.config.ts`) | no — 0 mentions,
while seven other plugins are named |
| runtime `plugins/*` directory-scan discovery | none exists — plugins
are enumerated explicitly |
| `package.json` | `private: true` — never published |
| imports outside its own directory | none |
| kept as a docs/authoring example | no — zero references in `docs/` or
any root `*.md` |
| successor in the workspace | yes —
`fusion-plugin-even-realities-glasses` |

## It was also polluting two ratchets

Dead code in a scanned tree is worse than dead code: both censuses are
**source-text scanners**, so they counted debt in files no build or
typecheck covers. Nobody could retire those entries through a
normally-verified refactor, and they inflated how much of the remaining
debt looked actionable.

Both baselines regenerated, and I checked each diff rather than trusting
the totals:

| baseline | change |
|---|---|
| `lane-wiring` | 26 → 23 sites, 21 → 20 files — **one entry removed**,
`board-routes.ts: 3` |
| `lifecycle-column-census` | exactly its two `board-cards.ts` entries |

Neither regeneration tightened anything unrelated — worth confirming
explicitly, because `lifecycle-column-census.mjs --strict` **writes**
its baseline as a side effect and could have folded an unrelated drop
into this commit.

**Verified:** lane-wiring, SQL-literal and FNXC gates all exit 0 after
the deletion; lint clean. 15 files removed.

## Why I went ahead

I said twice I would not delete this unilaterally. What changed is that
the trade-off dissolved — once the consolidation decision turned out to
be documented and the "is it a teaching example?" question answered by a
docs grep, there was nothing left to decide, only to execute. The
deletion is git-reversible and the standing guidance is that reversible
calls are mine to make.

Fourth time today a thing I filed as "needs someone else's judgement"
turned out to have its answer already in the repository. Cheap habit
worth keeping: before deferring, grep for whether the judgement has
already been made.

126cee7e6d engine: finalization parked ALREADY-MERGED work as failed on a renamed board (#2964)
**The worst symptom in this family: the branch landed, and the board
says the task failed.**

`project-engine`'s merge-confirmed finalization spread the task's
**real** column into `getTaskHardMergeBlocker` with no `reviewColumns`,
so the identity check ran against the literal `in-review`. On a renamed
board it returned `task is in 'signoff', must be in 'in-review'`, and
the caller parked the card:

```
status: "failed"
error:  "Merge confirmed but finalization blocked: task is in 'signoff', must be in 'in-review'"
```

For work that had already merged.

## Its sibling had already solved this

`auto-merge-finalization.ts` passes the **review-eligible sentinel**
instead of the card's own column, with the reasoning recorded at that
site: `getTaskHardMergeBlocker` asks *"is this card blocked by anything
other than where it sits?"*, and its callers are recovery paths for
landed work that a graph crash can leave resting in any column.
`project-engine` simply never got the same treatment.

## One name instead of two spellings

Rather than write the sentinel a second time, it is exported once as
`REVIEW_ELIGIBLE_SENTINEL_COLUMN` next to the helper whose contract
gives it meaning, and both recovery paths use it. **Two sites
independently spelling a magic value is how one of them came to be
missing it** — that is the actual root cause here, not the literal
itself.

This also answers the census, which flagged the new literal — correctly.
Its guidance (which I wrote, in #2909) is to hoist a deliberate literal
into a *declaration*, where a `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker actually
attaches, instead of leaving it mid-expression where the marker is
silently ignored. The shared constant is exactly that, and it lowers
`auto-merge-finalization`'s literal count too.

## Revert result

| | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| sentinel replaced by the card's own renamed column | reproduces the
shipped string |

The middle test asserts that string deliberately — it is what landed in
`task.error`, so a regression reports what the operator would actually
have seen. A third case checks the sentinel does **not** suppress
genuine blockers: incomplete steps still block finalization in any lane.

These drive the helper directly; reaching `project-engine`'s
finalization end to end needs a live engine, a merge run and a real
repo, while the defect is entirely in *what the blocker is asked*.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; `project-engine` +
`auto-merge-finalization` + the new suite, 207; `tsc` clean on core and
engine; lint, census `--strict`, FNXC gate, changesets all clean.

8e5e1147d2 core,engine: the last literal lifecycle query — and the three stall signals that disagreed (#2951)
**This is the last one.** `surfaceInReviewStalls` was the final literal
`listTasks({ column })` in production — I verified it by direct scan,
not by census arithmetic: **1 remaining before this, 0 after.**

It tells an operator that a card is stalled in review. On a renamed
board the stall was real and the board simply never said so.

## It came last on purpose

Converting the read alone would have been **worse than leaving it**.
`getInReviewStallReason` gated on the literal `in-review` itself, so a
widened read hands every renamed-board card to a classifier that drops
it — the missed-pair class, wearing the shape of a clean one-line
conversion.

## What was actually there

Three sibling signals decorate the same row, and they **disagreed about
which lane it is in**:

| signal | before |
| --- | --- |
| `getInReviewStalledSignal` | singular `reviewColumn` — resolved, but
**first-per-role** |
| `getStalePausedReviewSignal` | singular `reviewColumn` — same |
| `getInReviewStallReason` | **no seam at all** — literal |

So one row could be judged in-review by one signal and not by another.
And the singular ones are the **arity trap**:
`resolveLifecycleColumns().review` is the *first* column carrying a
review role, so a board with a separate merge lane beside its
human-review lane had a second review column matching none of them.

All three now take `reviewColumns` (membership), resolved **once per
row** through `resolveReviewColumns` — the union of the three review
roles — so they cannot disagree by construction. The singular/literal
paths remain as the no-metadata fallback, so a caller passing nothing is
byte-identical to today. Ten call sites in `reads.ts` wired from that
one answer; the singular resolver is deleted.

## Revert results

Each applied alone and re-run:

| conversion | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| the resolved read | fails — the card is never listed |
| `reviewColumns` at the call | fails — the classifier drops the renamed
card the widened read just found |

That second row is the whole point: it proves the pair had to move
together, which is the thing I got wrong twice earlier in this series.

## Second commit: a red on `main`, not from this branch

`check-fnxc-future-dates` landed and **`main` fails it** — verified by
running the script on a clean `origin/main` checkout rather than
inferring. Nine files carry stamps dated after today, so every worker's
gate fails on a check none of their changes caused. Several are mine: I
had been stamping tomorrow's date across this whole series, which is
precisely the out-of-order record the check exists to prevent.

Scope held deliberately: a repo-wide sweep touched **266 files** across
docs, scripts and every package. I ran it, backed it out, and limited
this to the nine files the check actually flags — a mechanical rewrite
that size during a queue freeze would conflict with every in-flight
branch, which is worse than the red it fixes.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71 (green **only** with the stamp
commit); `@fusion/core` full suite **4810 passed**; engine self-healing
+ blindness + both ratchets **758 passed**; `tsc` clean on core and
engine; `pnpm lint`, `check:changesets`, `lifecycle-column-census
--strict`, `check-sql-column-literals` and `check-fnxc-future-dates` all
clean.

c3df0f641b executor: orphaned tasks were never resumed after a restart on a renamed board (#2947)
`resumeOrphaned` is the only path that recovers tasks after a crash or
restart. On a board with renamed columns it recovered **nothing**.

## A missed pair, not an unconverted read

```ts
const tasks = await this.listWipLaneTasks();          // resolved by role — already converted
const inProgress = tasks.filter(
  (t) => t.column === "in-progress" && …,             // literal — discards everything the read found
);
```

The read was already resolved. The filter directly beneath it
re-asserted the literal on the rows that read returned, so the sweep
found the orphans and threw them all away.

**This is the worse half of the class, and it hid well:**

- the read *looks* converted, so scanning for `listTasks({ column: "…"
})` finds nothing;
- the census scores only the comparison, so the backlog number moves the
**wrong way** as you convert;
- a **structural test already existed** pinning "the read asks for
resolved lanes" — `executor-resume-query-lanes.test.ts` — and it was
green the entire time the sweep was dead. A test asserting the read
exists says nothing about the filter beneath it.

The failure only surfaces after a crash, when an operator is already
investigating the crash and has every reason to blame that instead.

## The ratchet, generalised

#2944 ratcheted this class inside `self-healing.ts` after review found
one instance and a follow-up audit found five more. This generalises it
to every engine source: a function that resolves lanes **and** compares
a column id in the same body is a pair.

Excluded, deliberately:
- the **fallback arm** of a resolved ternary (`lanes ? lanes.has(c) : c
=== "done"`) — the correct shape;
- four files whose literals are deliberate, each with the reason
recorded: `ephemeral-worker-manager` (unresolvable-workflow default),
`triage` (the U11 orphan case), `scheduler` and `replan-target` (sync
listeners on the inert sync IR reader, already pinned by
`sync-workflow-ir-is-always-default.pg.test.ts`);
- `self-healing.ts`, because it has a **dedicated** ratchet that is
strictly more precise. Two ratchets allowlisting the same site is one
fact with two owners, free to drift — the exact failure mode this
program keeps hitting. One file, one ratchet.

It carries a positive control: a wrong source path would make every case
pass by scanning nothing.

**I swept the rest of the engine with it and executor.ts was the only
genuine hit** — everything else is documented-deliberate or blocked on
the inert sync reader.

## Revert results

Each measured by restoring the literal filter and re-running:

| | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| behavioural case | fails — the renamed card is dropped and the sweep
returns before touching it |
| the ratchet | fails, naming the site: `resumeOrphaned:
executor.ts:5974` |

A non-vacuous companion (card in the review lane → not resumed) rules
out a filter that matches everything: a card in review has no session to
resume, and re-dispatching it would restart finished work.

**Measured:** `executor.ts` column guards 8 → 7; baseline re-recorded
downward.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; executor prompt/soft-delete/resume
suites plus the new ratchet, 357 passed; `tsc` engine clean; `pnpm
lint`, `check:changesets`, census `--strict` and
`check-sql-column-literals` clean, each run explicitly.

8503a2b12f batch-census-sentinels: six sentinel-marker PRs in one (supersedes #2921 #2928 #2931 #2935 #2938 +1) (#2943)
Fifth family, not in the four you listed — it was about to sit while the
others consolidated. **Six folded; two need arbitration.**

## Folded (cherry-picked clean)

migration marker · async archived check · audited-sentinel missing its
marker · five of six `archived` checks in one file · the two
artifact/comment read-only guards · the last unmarked
`getLiveTaskColumn` sentinel.

One root cause, which is why they belong together: **a literal compared
against a SENTINEL value is not a lifecycle-lane guard** — the census
counts it, and the fix is a marker, not a conversion.

## The baseline conflicted on every cherry-pick

All six re-recorded `lifecycle-column-census-baseline.json`
independently. I resolved by **regenerating once from the folded tree**
rather than merging six hand-edits: the baseline is a derived artifact,
so the measured value is the only correct resolution, and hand-merging
derived JSON is how a wrong ceiling gets locked in.

That is the strongest case for the family model I can give you: six PRs
touching one derived file conflict pairwise regardless of merge order —
15 possible pairs — and auto-rebase would have churned them serially.

## NOT folded — one line for arbitration

**#2925 (`live-task-column-lanes`) conflicts with #2923
(`fix/task-id-integrity-sentinel`) on
`packages/core/src/task-store/task-id-integrity.ts`.** #2923 marks a
sentinel there; #2925 converts lanes. Different intents, same file. I
did not guess which wins — land one, rebase the other, fold both after.

## Verification

`--strict` exit 0 · backlog **158**, reviewed **122** · core typecheck
clean · scoped, not full suite.

## Queue

**52 → 39** after my two folds (this + #2940 portal). The ~24
"self-healing … on a renamed board" family is still the dominant block.

* Clarified lifecycle-state terminology and migration markers throughout
task and project management documentation.
* Documented the distinction between archived-task sentinels and

8b75a42d22 batch: self-healing sweeps were blind on renamed boards (26 sweeps, folds 23 PRs) (#2944)
**Consolidation of 23 open PRs into one.** Every one shared a single
root cause and mostly touched a single file; 23 CI runs for that was
indefensible.

Folds and supersedes: #2867 #2869 #2876 #2879 #2883 #2891 #2899 #2901
#2902 #2905 #2906 #2914 #2916 #2918 #2919 #2920 #2922 #2927 #2929 #2932
#2934 #2937 #2939.
(#2865, #2882, #2897, #2909, #2912 already merged and are not
re-folded.)

## The root cause

A self-healing sweep selects its work with `listTasks({ column:
"in-review" })`. On a board whose lanes are renamed that returns
**nothing**, so the sweep never runs — no error, no log line, no failed
task. Several sweeps had already had their *predicates* converted to
resolved lanes, which dropped a census count and changed nothing,
because the query above the loop had already returned an empty list.

**26 sweeps converted.** Each one: read the project's columns for the
role, then decide each card against **its own** workflow, with the
legacy ids unioned so a board mid-rename is never skipped.

## What each sweep stops silently failing to do

| | |
| --- | --- |
| stale merger status | one finished card held the **merge queue** for
everything behind it |
| stale `blockedBy` / completed-task release | dependents stayed blocked
on work that had already finished — the board stops moving |
| workspace partial lands | a task left with **some repos merged and
some not** |
| mid-merge retry stamp | the card stalled *and* the operator's manual
Retry was gated by the same stamp |
| in-progress limbo / no-progress failures | dead cards held a work slot
forever |
| partial-progress retry | real work parked failed with its **retry
budget unspent** |
| orphaned-execution signal | visibility only — the one signal pointing
at an orphan went silent |
| zero-commit audit | went **half-blind**: the error arm kept working,
the lane arm did not |

Plus: ghost review cards, transient merge failures, misclassified
failures, branch misbinding, missing-worktree failures,
merged-but-unfinished finalization, done-metadata repair, self-owned
branch conflicts, orphan-only scope violations, post-done wedges, idle
assigned agents, PR-conflict worktree ownership, and orphaned workspace
worktrees.

## Two defects the conversion itself introduced, both caught and fixed

1. **Missed pairs.** Widening a read without converting the guards
beneath it is *worse than not converting*: the sweep starts admitting
renamed-board cards and then mis-decides every one. Review caught a
second guard on a re-read row; the audit that triggered found **five
more**, one of which gates the `reviewProof` triple-proof — a renamed
review card would have been moved backward with the safety check
silently skipped. Column guards 86 → 81.
2. **Duplicate processing.** The literal reads were disjoint by
construction; resolved reads are not, so a column carrying two role
flags put one card in two buckets — duplicate moves, duplicate audit
rows, inflated counts.

Both now have ratchets.
`self-healing-converted-sweeps-have-no-literal-lane-guards.test.ts`
**derives** its sweep list (a sweep counts as converted when its body
calls `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`), so it cannot go stale, and it
carries two positive controls because a broken regex finds no offenders
and a broken derivation iterates nothing — an empty loop registers no
tests and reads green.

## Deliberately unchanged

- 22 `moveTask` destinations carrying `recoveryRehome: true` —
`moves.ts` exempts these so a card stranded in an undeclared column
stays rescuable.
- One literal in `clearStaleBlockedBy`'s log-dedup closure (allowed by
name in the ratchet, with the reason).
- `surfaceInReviewStalls` — hot list-read path, needs a batched
prefetch; that is a performance design decision, not a conversion.
- `scheduler.ts` and `replan-target.ts` — built on
`resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync`, which returns the default IR for every task
in production. Converting there produces inert code.

## The fold itself is worth one note

All 23 branches appended to the **same test file at the same anchor**,
so every automatic strategy — git 3-way, `merge-file --union`, and three
hand-written resolvers — interleaved them mid-block. Two attempts
committed conflict markers before I caught it. The file is therefore
**reconstructed**: head authored once, body assembled as the union of
each branch's own intact top-level segments keyed by test title, with
the nested `already-merged hard blocker` describe appended whole
(flattening it orphaned its helper). Verified by *parsing after every
step* rather than trusting the merge — which is how each interleaving
was caught.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71. Scoped suites 592 passed
(self-healing, the blindness suite at 68 cases, the ratchet, and the
notification suite). `tsc` engine clean; `pnpm lint`,
`check:changesets`, `lifecycle-column-census --strict` and
`check-sql-column-literals` all clean, each run explicitly.

Each folded conversion was individually revert-proven on its original
branch — the read reverted alone, and the per-card verdict reverted
alone — and those measurements are recorded in the commit messages
carried into this branch.

b4ed12e9c8 batch-u7-lane-fixes: three core/engine renamed-board fixes folded (was #2925, #2930, #2936) (#2925)
**Consolidated per the queue freeze.** Three single-fix PRs of mine
folded into this one branch; #2930 and #2936 are closed as superseded.
Net effect on the queue: **3 → 1**.

All three are the same root cause — a lifecycle lane compared against a
legacy id — and all three carry a measured revert proof. Verified scoped
(not full suite) on the folded branch: `tsc --noEmit` clean, `pnpm lint`
clean, SQL-literal gate green, census `--strict` green, and 61 tests
across five suites plus the guard at 9/9.

---

### 1. `getLiveTaskColumn` produced the archived sentinel from a literal
(was #2925)

`getLiveTaskColumn` **manufactures** the string `"archived"` that a
dozen comparisons across five files trust — and it tested `row.column
=== "archived"`. A live row in a renamed archived lane read as **live**,
so the gates hiding an archived card's artifacts and document listings
never closed.

Fixing those twelve comparisons individually would have been wrong twice
over: **they are sentinels, and the defect was in the producer.** One
line, once, and all twelve become correct. `resolveArchivedLanes` moved
to `project-lane-vocabulary.ts` — three private copies of one fact is
how the "write guard says yes, publication guard says no" disagreement
happens at scale.

*Revert proof (real PostgreSQL):* restore the literal → `expected [ {
…(14) } ] to deeply equal []`.

**Caught myself shipping the unwired shape here:** I added the parameter
to seven functions and wired none of their impl callers — the exact
inert-conversion defect this program exists to remove. The failing test
is the only reason I noticed.

### 2. Mission delivery repair refused a completed card (was #2930)

`getTerminalTaskEvidence` tested only `column === "done"`, so a
completed card on a renamed board classified as `nonterminal` and
`reconcileFeatureDoneWithTerminalTask` threw `TASK_NOT_TERMINAL: … not
shipped`. Valid operator work refused — with the message naming the real
column while the check couldn't see it.

The **type** blocked the fix from the far end: `TerminalTaskEvidence`
pinned `column: "done"` / `"archived"`, so the resolver couldn't report
the real column without a compile error. `kind` already carries the
role, so `column` is free to carry the truth.

*Revert proof (real PostgreSQL):* restore the literal →
`TerminalTaskReconciliationError: … not shipped`.

I had deferred this twice on the premise that `AsyncMissionStore` "holds
a layer, not a store". It holds an **optional `taskStore`**, and the
single production construction site supplies it.

### 3. The unwired-lane guard reported two FALSE entries (was #2936)

`unwired-lane-parameter-guard.test.ts` has been **red on main** since
#2875, flagging two `InReviewDurationLanes` properties as unwired when
the impl demonstrably supplies both. Cause: my own owner-scoping rule
requires a mention from a file naming the declaring symbol — correct for
a function, structurally impossible for an interface passed as an
inferred object literal.

Fixed at the caller (name the type) after trying the tool three ways:
relaxing type-owned properties hid **12** genuine entries; resolving
owners to consuming functions hid **6**. Each refinement traded the
false positive for false negatives — the sign a co-occurrence heuristic
has hit its limit. Recording two *wired* parameters in `KNOWN_UNWIRED`
was rejected: that puts non-debt in the debt list, which is how a
ratchet starts lying.

Guard back to **9/9**, baseline unchanged at 17. **This un-reds main.**

c6767cb258 self-healing: foreign-only contamination never cleared on a renamed board (fourteenth sweep) (#2891)
`recoverForeignOnlyContaminatedInReviewTasks` classifies a branch
carrying **only foreign commits** and clears the contamination park that
nothing else clears. Two literal reads meant that on a renamed board it
classified nothing, and the task stayed parked indefinitely.

## The two redundant guards were the interesting part

Both filters carried a `task.column === …` check that was **redundant**
while the query pinned the column. Under a resolved read they stop being
redundant and become the per-card verdict — so they convert here rather
than being deleted. Deleting them would have silently widened the sweep,
which is the failure this whole class is about.

## Dedupe matters more here than elsewhere

The concatenated candidate list is deduped (the P1 reviewed on #2879).
It bites harder in this sweep because the two filters have **different
predicates**: a column carrying both a review role and the wip role
could satisfy both and classify one branch twice.

Explicit `has` guard rather than `new Map(entries)` — that constructor
keeps first insertion *order* but the **last** value for a repeated key,
so it reads as first-bucket precedence while doing the opposite.
(Corrected in #2879 and #2883 for the same reason.)

## Revert results

Each applied alone and the file re-run:

| conversion | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| the resolved reads | fails — the card is never listed, so the
classifier is never called |
| the review verdict | fails — the renamed review lane does not match
and the card is filtered out |

Observable is **candidacy**: `classifyForeignOnlyContamination` runs
once per accepted card and not at all for a rejected one, which is
exactly the read-plus-verdict under test. It is a static named import,
so it is intercepted with a scoped `vi.mock` (spyOn cannot rebind an
already-resolved ESM binding); only that one export is overridden, so
the sweeps in this file that use `inspectBranchConflict` are unaffected.

A non-vacuous companion (same card in the board's hold lane → never
classified) rules out a read that returns everything.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71, plus `self-healing.test.ts` 412;
`tsc` engine clean; `pnpm lint`, `check:changesets`, census `--strict`
clean, each run explicitly.

60bfebdc98 fix(reliability): the duration query hid its lane ids inside a SQL template (#2875)
The Reliability panel's **third and last** blind input — and my own
loose end. #2861 fixed the two counts beside it, so the panel went from
uniformly wrong to **partially** wrong: entries and bounces populated,
duration reporting `no-in-review-entries` forever. Partial blindness is
harder to notice than total, which is why finishing it matters more than
one site suggests.

```sql
metadata->>'to' = 'in-review'
  OR (metadata->>'from' = 'in-review' AND metadata->>'to' = 'done')
```

## The class, not just the site

**This shape is invisible to every check we have.** The lifecycle census
scans `===`/`!==` comparisons; the unwired-lane-parameter guard scans
declarations. Neither sees a lane id inside a `sql` template, so this
class is **not in the backlog total at all** — the number is a floor for
this reason as well as the usual one.

`scripts/check-sql-column-literals.mjs` (#2841, in flight) is the
detector for exactly this: it freezes the surface at 30 sites rather
than converting any, so this one was unowned. That PR and this one are
complementary — it stops the surface growing, this shrinks it by one.

## The fix

Lanes resolve **once per call** via `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles` and
arrive as parameterised equality fragments, one branch per id — no
interpolated list, no string building.

Resolution lives in `getInReviewDurationEventsImpl` because that is
where the store is; `async-audit.ts` takes a bare `db` handle and cannot
resolve anything. Best-effort, defaulting to the legacy pair, so a
caller that cannot resolve keeps exactly today's query.

**The union is correct rather than a widening hack**, for the same
reason as #2861: these are *move records*, and a past move recorded the
column name as it was at the time. A board renamed last month has rows
under both ids, so the honest query covers both — which is precisely
what `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles` returns.

## Tested against real PostgreSQL, deliberately

This is a **SQL predicate** change. A mocked store would assert the
arguments and prove nothing about the query that actually runs — which
is the entire risk when the literal lives inside `sql`. The new case
inserts real `activity_log` rows on a renamed board and reads them back
through the real store method.

The legacy-lane case in the same file stays green, which is the
compatibility half.

**Revert proof, measured:** restore the hardcoded fragments and the new
case fails with

```
expected [] to deeply equal [ 'renamed-entered', 'renamed-done' ]
```

## Verification

- `pnpm test:gate` — 161 / 487 / 13 / 71 passed
- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `tsc --noEmit` (`@fusion/core`) — clean
- `activity-log-parity.pg.test.ts` — 5 passed against real PostgreSQL

With this, all three Reliability inputs read the board's own lanes.

10f9df1600 fix(overseer): the whole oversight loop was inert on a renamed board (#2898)
`resolveWatchedStage` keyed on the literals `in-progress`/`in-review`,
so on a board that renames either it returned `null` for **every** card.

That is three literals with an outsized blast radius. `observeTask`
returns early on a null stage, so:

- no `OverseerStageObservation` is recorded,
- no `overseer:intervention` entry is emitted,
- and `PlannerRecoveryController`, which consumes those observations,
has nothing to steer, retry or targeted-fix.

**The entire oversight loop was inert and silent about it** — the same
shape as the self-healing sweeps whose queries returned empty arrays.

## I deferred this myself, on a cost argument that was wrong

The audit note I wrote for this site said resolving inside `observeTask`
"buys a workflow read per card per poll". Then I read the caller: the
poll **already awaits `resolveEffectiveSettings` per task**. It is a
per-task async loop regardless, so with an IR cache keyed by workflow
the addition is *(distinct workflows)* resolutions, not *(cards)*.

Pricing the fix before checking the caller cost a deferral. Worth
recording, because "this needs a cost judgement" is the most comfortable
place in this program to leave something.

## The review test is the three-trait union, deliberately

`isReviewColumnRole` checks only `mergeBlocker || humanReview`. A board
whose review lane carries `merge` (**mergeOrchestration**) — the
built-in default's own shape — would classify as *not in review* and be
skipped.

Reaching for the obvious helper would have reintroduced the bug this
change removes, through the helper meant to fix it. There is a case
asserting exactly that.

## Wiring

Both call sites, because either alone leaves a hole:

| site | why it matters |
|---|---|
| the poll (`project-engine.ts`) | per-poll IR cache — a workflow edit
is picked up next tick rather than served stale |
| the manual nudge | otherwise a renamed board answers `no-active-stage`
to an operator pressing the button |

`columnFlags` is in the `unwired-lane-parameter` vocabulary, so the
wiring cannot silently rot — the guard reports it if a future change
drops the argument.

Fail-soft throughout: an unresolvable workflow yields `undefined` and
the callee falls back to the legacy ids, which is exactly today's
behaviour. A v1 IR declares no columns, so it takes the same path.

## Revert proof (measured)

Drop the `columnFlags` branch and **exactly the three renamed-lane cases
fail**:

```
expected null to be "executor"
expected null to be "merger"   (mergeOrchestration lane)
expected null to be "merger"   (humanReview lane)
```

The legacy-id and neither-role cases stay green — the gate must still
gate, and watching every column would be its own defect.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:gate` — 161 / 487 / 13 / 71 passed
- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `tsc --noEmit` (`@fusion/engine`) — clean
- `planner-overseer.test.ts` +
`planner-recovery-controller-human-control.test.ts` — 64 passed
- unwired-lane guard — 9/9, no new entries

Carries the one-line SQL-baseline re-record (`team-analytics.ts: 6 → 3`)
that #2864 left behind, same as my other open branches — main is red on
it, and identical changes to that line merge without conflict.

c143327d4b fix(core): the archived-document guards failed in OPPOSITE directions on a renamed lane (#2886)
Two of the four convertible sites my own learnings doc **miscounted as
sentinels** — the #2877 review corrected "8 of 9 must not be converted"
to "5 of 9", and these are two of the three that correction freed.

They read `task.column` straight off a row `select`, so they are board
lanes by exactly the test that document gives, and a renamed archived
column is simply not seen. What makes the pair worth fixing together is
that they fail in **opposite directions**:

| guard | on a renamed archived lane | consequence |
|---|---|---|
| `upsertTaskDocument` | fails to **reject** | an archived card's
documents stay **writable** — the read-only contract silently does not
hold |
| `publishArchivedTaskDocumentAddition` | fails to **accept** | a
legitimate archived-document publication is refused as
`parent-not-archived` |

The second is the sharper one: valid operator work refused, and refused
with a message that reads as a data-integrity error rather than a
lifecycle mismatch.

## Shape

Both take an `AsyncDataLayer` and can resolve nothing themselves; their
store-level impls hold the store, so the lane set arrives as a parameter
resolved once per call — the shape #2875 used for the SQL predicate.

**One shared `resolveArchivedLanes` for both paths**, deliberately: if
the write guard and the publication guard could disagree about whether a
card is archived, a card ends up both read-only *and* un-publishable.

## The revert proof caught my own fixture first

My first version set `deletedAt` alongside the renamed column, and **the
revert proof passed with the fix removed**. Both guards are
`column-is-archived || deletedAt != null`, so a soft-deleted fixture
short-circuits the exact comparison under test — the assertion was
holding for an unrelated reason.

Dropping `deletedAt` isolates it, and is also the *real* shape: a live
row in a workflow-declared archived lane is what a renamed board
produces, and what `getLiveTaskColumn` was written to catch.

Revert proof, measured honestly the second time: restore `task.column
=== "archived"` and the renamed-lane case fails — the upsert resolves
instead of rejecting.

## Real PostgreSQL, deliberately

These are row predicates inside a transaction. A mocked store would
assert the arguments and prove nothing about the comparison that runs —
the same reasoning as #2875.

Three cases: the renamed lane rejects, the **legacy** `archived` id
still rejects (most boards never rename anything), and a live card is
still allowed through (a guard that rejects everything is its own bug).

## Verification

- `pnpm test:gate` — 161 / 487 / 13 / 71 passed
- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `tsc --noEmit` (`@fusion/core`) — clean
- new `archived-document-lanes.pg.test.ts` + existing
`artifacts-documents-evals.pg.test.ts` — 12 passed against real
PostgreSQL

Note: the SQL-literal baseline is untouched here — #2881 owns
re-recording it after #2864's conversion left main's gate red.

a453912ddf self-healing: merged-but-unfinished tasks never finalized on a renamed board (fifteenth sweep) (#2897)
`recoverMergedReviewTasks` finalizes a task whose merge is **confirmed**
but which never reached the complete lane. Two literal reads meant that
on a renamed board it was never found, so a card whose commit is already
on the base branch sat in review or hold indefinitely — merged work the
board still shows as unfinished.

## The two redundant guards convert, they don't get deleted

Both `t.column === …` checks were redundant while the query pinned the
column. Under a resolved read they become the per-card verdict. Deleting
them would have silently widened the sweep — the same trap called out in
#2891.

## Carries the two shapes review established earlier in this series

- **Narrow when the card can answer, broad when it cannot** (#2891).
`resolveWorkflowIrForTask` *substitutes* the built-in IR rather than
failing, so a card with an unreadable selection would otherwise be
rejected by the very verdict that the project-scoped query had just
admitted it under. It falls back to the project sets instead.
- **Deduped across the buckets** (#2879), so a column carrying both a
review role and the hold role cannot finalize one card twice.

Both were review findings on earlier PRs in this series, applied here up
front rather than waiting to be caught again.

## Revert results

Each applied alone and the file re-run:

| conversion | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| the resolved reads | fails — the card is never listed |
| the per-card review verdict | fails — the renamed review lane does not
match |

Observable is `resolveSelfHealingMergeTarget`, a private method called
once per candidate, so the assertion sits downstream of both halves
without a git fixture. A non-vacuous companion (merge-confirmed card in
the wip lane → untouched) rules out a read that returns everything.
