gsxdsm 9cfb40e137 FN-7863: add bounded execute-node self-requeue loop guard
Bounds the execute->pause-abort->todo dispatch loop so a task can no longer requeue forever with no visible signal or terminal state.

- Track a progress-anchored `executeRequeueLoopCount`/`executeRequeueLoopSignature` pair on the task row (current step + step statuses) so slow no-progress requeue cycles are counted independently of the scheduler's wall-clock `dispatchStormCount` guard.
- Warn visibly in the task log at `EXECUTE_REQUEUE_LOOP_VISIBLE_THRESHOLD` (3) and terminalize non-paused, non-terminal tasks at `MAX_EXECUTE_REQUEUE_LOOP_CYCLES` (6) with `status:"failed"` and an `EXECUTION_DISPATCH_LOOP_EXHAUSTED:` error, preserving worktree/branch/step progress.
- Emit a new `task:execution-dispatch-loop-terminalized` run-audit mutation type with ids/counts/outcomes-only metadata.
- Reset the loop counters on real progress, manual retry, forward moves (in-review/done/archived), and unpause, in both the executor and scheduler.
- Add DB migration 142 (`executeRequeueLoopCount`, `executeRequeueLoopSignature` columns) plus store read/write/reset plumbing.
- Add reliability-interactions coverage for the new loop guard and extend store-persistence tests for the new columns.
- Document the new behavior in AGENTS.md and docs/architecture.md.

Project Guidelines

Essential rules

Spec Generation Hygiene

  • Do not cite .fusion/tasks/<id>/<file> paths in Context/Steps/File Scope unless the file already exists, is explicitly created as a (new) Artifact, or is sibling PROMPT.md/task.json/attachments/*.
  • Dangling task-local file references are a blocking spec REVISE.
  • Save planning scratch and interim notes via fn_task_document_write instead of inventing on-disk task-local files.

External-integration evidence

Any task integrating a third-party tool (CLI, daemon, downloadable binary, installer-managed dependency) must cite, in PROMPT.md:

  1. Canonical upstream repo URL.
  2. Docs/homepage URL.
  3. Release/download URL.
  4. Binary/CLI name in backticks.
  5. Checksum or upstream-pending-verification marker.

Missing evidence is a blocking REVISE. Never invent release URLs, binary names, or hashes.

Example evidence section shape:

## External Integration Evidence

- Canonical upstream repo URL: https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk
- Docs / homepage URL: https://worktrunk.dev/
- Release / download URL: https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/releases/latest/download/wt-linux-x64.tar.gz
- Binary / CLI name: `wt`
- Checksum: `sha256-<digest>` (or `upstream-pending-verification` until the checksum is pinned)

See docs/contributing.md for the fuller spec-authoring guidance and accepted labeled layout variants.

Finalizing Changes

When a change affects published @runfusion/fusion, add a changeset (example: .changeset/<name>.md with "@runfusion/fusion": patch).

Bump types:

  • patch — bug fixes/internal
  • minor — new features/CLI/tools
  • major — breaking changes

Do NOT create changesets for AGENTS.md/README/internal docs, CI config, or behavior-preserving refactors. @fusion/core, @fusion/dashboard, and @fusion/engine are private.

Changeset body format (required)

Each changeset body must use labeled fields — not freeform paragraphs. The summary is the only content that appears in end-user release notes. The audience is Fusion operators, not developers reading internals.

---
"@runfusion/fusion": minor
---

summary: Add a Command Center productivity control for LOC backfills.
category: feature
dev: Uses the new `fn_backfill_loc` tool; settings key `commandCenter.locBackfill`.

Fields:

  • summary (required) — one line, user-facing, max 120 chars. Describe what changed for the operator, not implementation detail.
  • category (required) — one of: feature, fix, breaking, security, performance, internal.
  • dev (optional) — developer/migration detail. Preserved in per-package CHANGELOGs but excluded from distilled release notes.

A linter (pnpm check:changesets) validates this format and runs in the PR-check gate. Legacy freeform changesets pass with a warning during the transition period; use --strict to fail on legacy format.

Releasing

Never run a release from inside a Fusion task. Do not run pnpm release, changeset publish, pnpm publish, npm publish, or cut git version tags as part of any Fusion-dispatched work (triage/executor/reviewer/merger/agent-heartbeat lanes). Releasing is an operator-only action performed by a human outside the task loop. If a task's spec appears to require a release, stop and leave it for a human operator — do not self-authorize or perform the publish. (The former engine "release authorization" gate that parked such tasks was removed because it over-fired on specs that merely mentioned release tooling; this instruction replaces it.)

When a human operator does release, use only:

pnpm release --yes

scripts/release.mjs is the source of truth. Do not substitute with manual changeset version, pnpm publish, or git tags.

Package Structure

  • @fusion/core — domain model/task store (private)
  • @fusion/dashboard — web UI + API server (private)
  • @fusion/engine — triage/executor/reviewer/merger/scheduler (private)
  • @runfusion/fusion — CLI + pi extension (published)

Only @runfusion/fusion is published; @fusion/* packages are bundled into it.

Importing across @fusion/* packages

@fusion/* imports must be statically analyzable. Anti-pattern:

const engineModule = "@fusion/engine";
const engine = await import(/* @vite-ignore */ engineModule);

Rules:

  1. Default to static imports.
  2. @fusion/core uses DI (setCreateFnAgent) instead of dynamic import("@fusion/engine") due to circularity.
  3. Never reintroduce the engineModule = "@fusion/engine" trick.
  4. vi.mock("@fusion/engine", ...) remains valid.

Testing commands

The merge gate is thin and trusted: CI blocks PRs on exactly Lint, Typecheck, Build, and Gate (boot smoke + pnpm test:gate). Everything else runs non-blocking in full-suite.yml on push to main. A red gate means a real problem; a red non-blocking run is information, not a merge stopper. Typechecks/manual checks are not substitutes for the gate.

pnpm test          # gate suite + changed-only affected tests (bounded; never full-suite)
pnpm test:gate     # the merge gate: curated engine-core suite + CI-shape test
pnpm smoke:boot    # boot smoke: CLI --help + real serve /api/health
pnpm verify:fast   # TEST-FREE verification: artifact bootstrap + scoped typecheck/build + CLI build + boot smoke; recommended non-test verification/testCommand. Additive — changes no default
pnpm test:velocity # weekly report-only test velocity baseline; use -- --measure --write-report to refresh
pnpm test:full     # full workspace suite — explicit opt-in only
pnpm lint
pnpm build
pnpm verify:workspace  # deep opt-in verification (lint -> test:full -> build); NOT the merge gate

pnpm verify:fast is the recommended test-free verification path: bootstrap missing/stale workspace dist artifacts, typecheck + build scoped to the changed packages (it reuses pnpm test's changed-package resolution), an always-on @runfusion/fusion CLI build required by the source-checkout boot smoke, plus the boot smoke once, with no test run. It is deterministic and flake-free, suitable as a project testCommand/verification command when you want non-test verification; the full suite stays available and runs non-blocking. It is additive and does not change pnpm test, the gate, or CI. See docs/testing.md.

Standing Rule: Flaky Tests Are Quarantined on Sight (Deletion Ratchet)

  • A test observed failing without a corresponding real bug in the change is QUARANTINED ON SIGHT: add an entry to scripts/lib/test-quarantine.json (file, reason with a link to the failing run, quarantinedAt) AND a matching one-line exclude in that package's vitest config, in the same commit.
  • Agents must never appease a flaky test. No widened timeouts, no added retries, no loosened or deleted assertions to make a flake pass. Quarantine it instead. Appeasement drains the test's signal and is how the suite rotted last time.
  • A quarantined test is DELETED after 14 days (quarantinedAt + 2 weeks) unless rescued. Rescue requires evidence the test catches real regressions plus a root-cause fix — not stabilization passes.
  • A flake INSIDE the merge gate is evicted, not skipped: remove its line from the engine-core allow-list in packages/engine/vitest.config.ts (the eviction PR does not need the flaky test to pass).
  • A second quarantine in the same subsystem is a product-race smell — look at the product code before the deletion clock runs out (see docs/solutions/ui-bugs/skill-autocomplete-highlight-reset-on-swr-revalidation.md: a flake "stabilized" three times was a real race).
  • Gate admission requires evidence of value; tests never graduate into the gate by default. Mechanics: docs/testing.md → "Quarantine ledger and the deletion ratchet".

Standing Rule: Do Not Add Slow Tests (FN-5048)

  • Prefer narrow seams, in-memory fakes, shared harnesses, and targeted assertions.
  • Prefer fake timers over real polling/time waits.
  • Do not mask slowness by raising worker/concurrency knobs.
  • Do not add new real-network calls, real polling loops, or mock-the-world shells when a narrower seam exists.
  • Use the testing taxonomy in docs/testing.md when deciding trim vs keep.

Standing Rule: Scope Verification to Changed Files — Do Not Use allowFullSuite

  • When verifying via fn_run_verification, do not pass allowFullSuite: true unless absolutely necessary. It is a last-resort escape hatch that runs a marathon command (root pnpm test, pnpm test:full, verify:workspace, whole-package tests, repeat loops) far in excess of what the change requires, and it is the main way verification balloons past its budget.
  • Default to a file-scoped command targeting only the tests affected by the diff, e.g. pnpm --filter @fusion/<pkg> exec vitest run src/path/to/changed.test.ts --silent=passed-only --reporter=dot. The marathon soft-cap exists to push you toward this.
  • allowFullSuite: true is justified only for a genuinely full run with no targetable test set (e.g. a cross-cutting infra change) — and then state the reason. The thin merge gate (pnpm test:gate) is the cross-cutting safety net, not per-task verification.

Standing Rule: Fix the Invariant, Not the Repro (FN-5893)

  • When fixing a bug, the regression test must assert the general invariant across ALL known surfaces — not only the single reported reproduction.
  • Symptom-based acceptance is mandatory for bug-class tasks: the final verification must reproduce the original failure condition and assert it no longer occurs via a real automated test. Encode this as a ## Symptom Verification section in PROMPT.md with Original symptom, Exact reproduction, and Assertion it is gone; green build/tests alone are insufficient. This marker is the contract consumed by the GitHub auto-close gate (FN-6230).
  • Surface enumeration is now an enforced bug-fix artifact: the spec must include a ## Surface Enumeration section, planning must REVISE when that section is missing, and review must REVISE any repro-only regression test.
  • The Surface Enumeration gate also applies to tasks that add or remove UI affordances (icons, buttons, chevrons, toggles, badges, menu entries, click targets), including Review Level 0 cosmetic tasks.
  • Enumerate the surfaces before filing or closing the fix: every provider/bridge for streaming and agent paths, both desktop and mobile breakpoints for UI behavior, empty/undefined/duplicate/populated data states, and every shared hook/component/module/helper that reuses the affected logic.
  • After removing a UI affordance, explicitly check for and clean up empty button shells, orphaned click targets, now-unused wrappers, and dangling aria-labels across both desktop and mobile breakpoints.
  • Use the canonical checklist in docs/testing.md → Surface Enumeration checklist so planning and review enumerate the same surfaces.
  • Motivating incidents: streamed-response spacing was fixed three times before the invariant was fully covered (FN-5787, FN-5789, FN-5803), the usage "Show hidden" button regressed three times before broader coverage stuck (FN-5797, FN-5875, FN-5919), and the auto-merge blank-dashboard fix re-opened after desktop-only coverage missed mobile Android (FN-5751).
  • Motivating incident for UI affordances: the workflow-row drop-down arrow removal took three tasks (FN-6115 → FN-6118 → FN-6123) because the affordance rendered in two components and mobile kept an empty 36×36 btn-icon button shell.
  • If a regression test only proves the exact reported case, it is incomplete; extend it until the invariant holds across all known surfaces.

Port 4040 is Reserved

Never kill processes on port 4040 and never start test servers on 4040. Use --port 0 or another free port.

Never run an unbounded find against the system temp directory

Do not issue a recursive find (or any unbounded recursive directory walk) rooted at the OS temp directory — $TMPDIR, /tmp, or macOS /var/folders/... (canonical /private/var/...). The temp root can hold an enormous number of entries on CI and long-lived dev hosts, so a broad scan can hang for minutes and pin I/O.

When you need a Fusion temp artifact, target the known prefix directly and list a single level with a prefix filter — never walk the whole temp tree. The canonical bounded pattern is the engine's own sweep: non-recursive readdirSync(...) passes over the configured <worktreesDir>/.ai-merge/ root plus legacy .fusion/ai-merge/ and tmpdir() leftovers, filtered by a known prefix such as fusion-ai-merge- (SelfHealingManager.cleanupStaleTempMergeWorktrees() in packages/engine/src/self-healing.ts). Scoped find calls under a project worktree or .fusion/ are fine; only the broad temp-root scan is forbidden.

Engine Process Rules

Never use execSync for user-configured commands

Run user-configured commands (test/build/workflow scripts) via async exec with timeout. execSync is only acceptable for short deterministic git plumbing.

Move-Task contract

User moveTask(in-progress → todo) is a hard cancel: abort active sessions/subprocesses and park task in todo with user-paused semantics. Engine rebounds must not set userPaused.

Process supervision

Use superviseSpawn(...) from @fusion/core for managed child processes; do not use raw detached spawn/nohup patterns unless explicitly allowlisted. eslint.config.mjs + scripts/check-no-nohup.mjs enforce this.

Git Conventions

  • Commit prefixes: feat(FN-XXX):, fix(FN-XXX):, test(FN-XXX):
  • One commit per step boundary
  • Include task ID prefix
  • Fusion task-worktree commits should carry Fusion-Task-Id: FN-NNNN trailers

Merging Branches Into Main

  1. Drop duplicate commits before merging. Rebase away duplicates already on main.
  2. Squash is now the project default; history-preserving merge paths require opt-in. New projects default directMergeCommitStrategy="always-squash". To preserve multi-commit history, explicitly set project directMergeCommitStrategy to "auto" or "always-rebase", or set a per-task **Direct Merge Commit Strategy:** ... override in PROMPT.md.
  3. Empty cherry-picks are no-ops. Do not create empty commits.
  4. Already-on-main classifier applies. Allow finalize/self-healing recovery when lineage is landed.
  5. Contamination auto-recovery is bounded. First pass can auto-drop upstream foreign commits; repeated/ambiguous cases escalate.
  6. Run post-squash audit policy. Respect postMergeAuditMode (warn/block/off) and auto-recovery stages.
  7. Enforce pre-commit diff-volume gate. Block suspicious shrinkage before squash commit.
  8. Smart-prefer-main overlap guard. Recent overlapping main commits can flip to prefer-branch.
  9. Layer-3 scope partition. Out-of-scope conflicts resolve to main before AI arbitration unless task.scopeOverride=true.
  10. Auto-prerebase on divergence/hot files. Fail-soft and continue normal conflict stack.

Gitignored-path guard on squash merges

Never force-add ignored artifacts (for example git add -f .fusion/...). Use task documents for findings/notes.

File-Scope invariant on squash merges

Every squash commit must overlap task ## File Scope (unless scope is empty). Violations must fail with FileScopeViolationError and reset pre-squash state.

Per-task opt-out exists: task.scopeOverride = true (log the reason).

autoMerge: false callout (FN-5147)

When settings.autoMerge: false, in-review is terminal-until-merged by a human. Lifecycle-mutating self-healing must not move these tasks backward, pause/fail them, or re-enqueue them for execution.

Scoped exception (FN-5819): shared-branch-group members (branchContext.assignmentMode === "shared") still run the member→shared-branch local integration step while auto-merge is off. This exception is only for assembling branch_groups.branchName; shared-branch → default-branch promotion remains gated by group/global auto-merge.

Mock provider (test mode)

testMode?: boolean is now available in both project and global settings. If project testMode === true (or the resolved default provider is "mock" at any tier), every AI lane is forced to mock/scripted, overriding per-task and per-lane model selections. The dashboard exposes this via the Settings Modal "Enable test mode" toggle and a persistent "Test mode — no real AI calls" banner.

Run Audit

  • FN-7158: agent performance reflections emit reflection:generated, reflection:skipped, and reflection:failed with ids/counts/outcomes-only metadata; never persist reflection prose or prompt text in run-audit.
  • FN-7528: a deterministic, non-LLM post-task performance capture (AgentReflectionService.captureTaskPerformance) runs once per completed task and emits reflection:captured with ids/counts/outcomes-only metadata (retryReworkCount?, filesTouchedCount?, packagesTouchedCount?, verificationFileScoped?, durationMs?); never persists verificationScopeReason free-text or summary prose in run-audit.
  • FN-7787: createResolvedAgentSession enriches session:runtime-resolved with noModelResolved: true and runtimeBuiltInFallbackModel when a non-mock/non-test session reaches runtime creation without a complete provider/model pair; this is a visibility signal for runtime built-in fallback usage, not a fabricated model-resolution verdict.
  • FN-7835/FN-7844/FN-7859: durable-agent error-state recovery emits agent:auto-recover-error-state when either the heartbeat timer or the self-healing sweep clears a transient, non-operator-actionable error and retries; metadata stays ids/counts/outcomes-only (agentId, attempt, limit, source), where source is timer/automation/self-healing. Both entry paths share the heartbeatErrorRecovery budget (self-healing keeps durableErrorRecovery only for cooldown/stale-path bookkeeping) and emit agent:error-retry-exhausted when the shared budget is exhausted and the agent is parked paused with pauseReason:"error-retry-exhausted". Non-recoverable durable heartbeat errors (permanent/usage-limit/operator-actionable, excluding stale worktree/module-resolution suppression and disabled/ephemeral/actively-executing agents) emit agent:error-parked-unrecoverable with ids/counts/outcomes-only metadata (agentId, source, optional attempts, limit) and park paused with pauseReason:"error-unrecoverable" for human repair.
  • FN-7802: self-healing emits task:reconcile-missing-worktree-merge-active when it proves an in-review merge-active task (merging/merging-pr/merging-fix) is stranded by an unusable-worktree session-start failure, clears stale worktree/branch/sessionFile, resets the worktree-session retry budget, increments recoveryRetryCount as the bounded stale-metadata clear counter, and requeues to todo; it emits task:reconcile-missing-worktree-merge-active-no-action when autoMerge:false, workspace-task ownership, or triple-proof blocks the backward move.
  • FN-7863: executor emits task:execution-dispatch-loop-terminalized when an execute-node self-requeue loop reaches MAX_EXECUTE_REQUEUE_LOOP_CYCLES with an unchanged progress signature; metadata stays ids/counts/outcomes-only (taskId, cycleCount, maxCycles, progressSignature, failureValue) and the task is visibly failed with EXECUTION_DISPATCH_LOOP_EXHAUSTED: while preserving worktree/branch/step progress.
  • FN-7011: self-healing emits task:reconcile-engine-downtime-active-timing when startup recovery shifts active task segment anchors to exclude proven engine-process downtime, and task:reconcile-engine-downtime-active-timing-no-action when no active task qualifies.
  • FN-5419: git run-audit now includes pull:fast-forward and stash:pop-conflict; dashboard git surfaces now include the extended POST /api/git/pull integration-worktree path plus companion POST /api/git/stash-resolve, POST /api/git/stash-drop, and POST /api/git/stash-apply routes.
  • FN-6292: self-healing emits task:reconcile-dependency-blocking-lease when it rebounds an in-progress holder whose stale file-scope lease blocks an unmet dependency, and task:reconcile-dependency-blocking-lease-no-action when triple-proof blocks that backward move.
  • FN-6736: self-healing emits task:reclaim-phantom-executor-binding when it proves an in-memory executor-active binding is stale, clears the binding, and requeues the in-progress task with worktree/progress preserved.
  • FN-6783: task-store open and self-healing housekeeping emit task:reconcile-orphaned-task-dir when they non-destructively re-import a valid live .fusion/tasks/{ID}/task.json directory that has no task row anywhere, preserving soft-deleted/archived/tombstoned IDs.
  • FN-7069: task-store open and self-healing housekeeping emit task:reconcile-phantom-committed-reservation when they prune orphaned child rows for a committed task-ID reservation that has no live/soft-deleted/archived task row and no task directory, while preserving the committed reservation so the ID is never reused.
  • FN-7074: task creation emits task:reservation-commit-rolled-back when a distributed reservation was committed atomically with a tasks row but a later create materialization step failed; metadata includes reservationId, nodeId, reason: "failed-create", and error, and the reservation is moved to aborted so the sequence remains burned.
  • FN-6782/FN-6796: self-healing emits task:auto-recover-paused-abort-park when it clears a benign pause-abort operator park, requeueing safe todo/in-progress rows or preserving a clean auto-merge-eligible in-review row for review progression.
  • FN-6793/FN-6797: self-healing emits task:reconcile-in-review-unmet-dependencies when it rebounds an in-review task whose declared dependencies are still unmet, and task:reconcile-in-review-unmet-dependencies-no-action when pause/user-pause, autoMerge:false, live execution/checkout proof, or a failed rebound mutation blocks that backward move.
  • Workspace (Phase D U1): self-healing emits task:reconcile-workspace-partial-land when it re-enqueues a partial/zero-landed workspace task's per-repo land (or parks it failed when a sub-repo's fusion/<id> branch is gone with no landedSha), and task:reconcile-workspace-partial-land-no-action when autoMerge:false, user-pause, or a live sub-repo worktree (workspace-aware liveness) blocks that backward move.
  • Workspace (Phase D U1): self-healing emits task:reclaim-phantom-workspace-land-lease when it clears a leaked workspace-repo-land lease whose owning task is terminal/dead and older than the FN-6736 staleness floor (a live merging owner is left untouched).
  • Workspace (Phase D U1): self-healing emits task:reconcile-orphaned-workspace-worktree when it removes a done/dead workspace task's recorded per-repo worktree from its stored worktreePath (guarded by isPathActive; no temp-root walk).
  • FN-7514: the planner overseer's per-task oversight loop (PlannerRecoveryController.tick) emits overseer:oversight-withheld-human-control when the pure evaluateOverseerHumanControl guard withholds ALL oversight action (no steering, retry, targeted-fix, or pending confirmation) for a task that is user-paused (task.userPaused===true, or task.paused===true with no pausedReason) or ineligible for auto-merge processing per allowsAutoMergeProcessing (autoMerge:false/PR-based human-review terminal contract). The guard runs BEFORE FN-7513's confirmation classification, so a withheld task never records a pending confirmation. Metadata: { taskId, reason: "user-paused" | "auto-merge-off-human-review", stage, oversightLevel }; deduped per (taskId, withheld reason) so it is not re-emitted every poll while the reason is unchanged.
  • FN-7720: TaskStore.bypassFailedPreMergeReviewStep emits task:bypass-review when a privileged operator bypasses the latest failed pre-merge review step of an in-review task; metadata includes workflowStepId, workflowStepName, bypassedFromStatus, bypassedFromVerdict, and the mandatory reason. The bypass rewrites the step's status to "skipped" with bypassedBy/bypassedAt/bypassReason/bypassedFromStatus fields; it never fabricates a reviewer verdict and clears only the failed-pre-merge-step getTaskMergeBlocker reason. Reachable via fn_task_bypass_review (CLI/pi-extension operator tool surface only — not executor/reviewer/triage) and POST /tasks/:id/bypass-review.

  • I want you to write FNXC:Area-of-product in front of all your comments so they can be grepped.
  • Most of this should be written as jsdocs but you can add short comments around for the important variables and more complex parts of the codebase.
  • The idea is to encode the requiements of the system (especially software behavior, UX, and important technical decisions) into the code so it's clearer later why a certain piece of code was written.
  • Always make sure to keep these comments updated as you work in the codebase and requirements change.
  • Use technical writing principles to write non-verbose comments that convey the important info without fluff.
  • Keep in mind that ALL of the important user facing requirements sent by the user must be written as comments somewhere in the codebase.
  • There's no need to add line breaks in FNXC comments to stay under a certain character width. Just add line breaks normally at the ened of sentences.

Good Example for a FNXC Comment:

/*
FNXC:SettingsNavigation 2026-05-13-08:05:
The Settings dialog needs enough horizontal room for a main-tab section sidebar while Ghostty settings live in their own second tab.
Use scoped CSS so the native modal host and Storybook share the same width without relying on newly generated utilities.

FNXC:SettingsNavigation 2026-05-13-08:11:
The modal should be 20% wider than the first section-sidebar layout and use a taller viewport so more settings remain visible without scrolling.
