Three coordinated fixes for the FN-2978 incident class — auto-requeues
that orphaned committed work and watchdog kills on long verification runs.
**Auto-requeue branch reuse** (executor.ts, worktree-pool.ts)
- executor.ts:1782 now uses `task.branch || fusion/<id>` so persisted
branches are honored on requeue. Previously the hardcoded fallback
always tried to re-create the original branch, hit a conflict with
the prior run's ref, and got suffix -2/-3. Other call sites already
honor task.branch — this aligns the worktree-acquisition path.
- worktree-pool.ts:181 prepareForTask now probes existing branches with
`git rev-parse --verify` and checks them out as-is. Falls through to
suffixed creation only when the branch is genuinely in use by another
live worktree. Previously force-reset with `checkout -B`, destroying
prior commits.
- New private reconcileStepsFromGitHistory walks `git log
baseCommitSha..HEAD` for `feat(FN-X): complete Step N` commits and
marks matching steps[] as done so resumes don't redo committed work.
**Manual reset endpoint + UI** (dashboard)
- POST /api/tasks/:id/reset (requires `confirm: true`) — clears worktree,
branch, all retry counters, resets steps[] to pending, moves to todo.
Distinct from /retry which is the soft-resume path.
- Reset button alongside Retry in TaskDetailModal with confirm dialog,
wired through useTasks → AppModals → API.
**fn_run_verification tool** (run-verification-tool.ts, executor.ts)
- New custom tool wrapping test/lint/build commands with a heartbeat
callback (per-line + 60s synthetic), 200KB head+tail output cap, hard
timeout with SIGTERM→SIGKILL escalation, and auto-bootstrap detection
for missing node_modules. Prevents the inactivity watchdog from
killing sessions during long compiles.
- Cross-platform via `shell: true` (Node picks /bin/sh on POSIX,
cmd.exe on Windows). Prompt section in EXECUTOR_SYSTEM_PROMPT and
EXECUTOR_PROMPT_TEXT instructs agents to prefer package-scoped
verification first and reserve workspace-scoped runs for final
integration.
**Tests** (64 passing)
- detect-pseudo-pause.test.ts (27 tests) — covers all 7 regex patterns,
structural fallback, FN-2978 regression text.
- reconcile-step-regex.test.ts (25 tests) — pins the commit-message
regex against a wide variant set.
- run-verification-command.test.ts (12 tests) — basic execution, output
capture, heartbeat callbacks, timeout, error handling. POSIX-specific
cases (multi-cmd `;`, `>&2`, `\$USER`) gated behind itPosix.
