## PR merges silently never ran on a renamed board
`processPullRequestMergeTask` called its injected blocker with the task
alone:
```ts
if (getTaskMergeBlocker(task)) return "skipped";
```
So `options.reviewColumns` was undefined and the blocker's identity
check fell back to `task.column === "in-review"`. On a board whose merge
lane is named anything else it returns:
```
task is in 'checking', must be in 'in-review'
```
…which is truthy, so this function returns `"skipped"`. **Silently and
permanently** — nothing logs, nothing fails, the PR simply never merges.
`daemon.ts`, `serve.ts` and `dashboard.ts` all drain PR merges through
here, making this a third instance of the #2963/#2964 class ("merge
entry points unwired — merging was impossible on a renamed board").
Found via the baseline #2966 shipped:
`packages/cli/src/commands/task-lifecycle.ts` was a known-unwired call
site in it.
## Narrow resolution, deliberately
`resolveReviewColumns` is the **broad** set, and its own FNXC note warns
that a caller which admits on it *and then moves the card* will act on
cards the engine does not consider in review. This function merges and
moves to the complete lane — a state-changing admission — so it uses
`resolveMergeOrchestrationColumn`, the single lane the engine acts on.
That matches how `moves.ts` wires the same call.
Degradation is unchanged in both directions: `resolveWorkflowIrForTask`
substitutes the default IR rather than throwing, so a default board
resolves `in-review` and behaves identically; a v1-upgraded IR resolves
every role empty and keeps the documented legacy literal (covered by a
test).
## One shape choice worth flagging
The option is always **passed** and conditionally **valued**:
```ts
getTaskMergeBlocker(task, { reviewColumns: mergeLane ? new Set([mergeLane]) : undefined })
```
rather than making the whole argument conditional. These are identical
at runtime — the blocker treats an undefined `reviewColumns` exactly as
it treats absent options — but **only this shape is visible to
`lane-wiring-census.mjs`**, which matches an object-literal argument and
cannot see a ternary. I wrote the ternary first, and the gate still
reported the site as unwired; wiring a gate cannot check is how this
defect survived in the first place.
The gate then confirmed the fix and asked for the baseline in the same
commit:
```
[check-lane-wiring] unwired call sites decreased:
packages/cli/src/commands/task-lifecycle.ts: 1 -> 0
```
Baseline re-recorded 9 → 8 in this commit, so the allowance cannot be
regrown into.
## Revert proof
**There was no test for this function at all** — that is why it went
unnoticed. Restoring only `task-lifecycle.ts`:
```
AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called with arguments: [ ObjectContaining{…}, …(1) ]
AssertionError: expected 'skipped' not to be 'skipped'
AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called with arguments: [ ObjectContaining{…}, undefined ]
Tests 3 failed | 1 passed (4)
```
The one case that passes both ways is "still skips a card that is not in
any merge lane" — it guards against over-admission rather than proving
the fix, and I am not claiming it as coverage of the defect.
## Verification (measured)
- new suite **4/4**; with `pr-automerge-cleanup` **9 passed / 2 files**
- `tsc --noEmit`, `eslint` — clean
- `check-lane-wiring` (8, none added), `lifecycle-column-census
--strict`, `check-sql-column-literals`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` —
green
**Changeset added** (`patch`). `packages/cli` is the published
`@runfusion/fusion` and this changes user-facing merge behaviour, so
AGENTS.md requires one. My first pass hedged and left it to a maintainer
— that was wrong, the rule is not discretionary, and it is now in the
branch.
@runfusion/fusion
From rough idea to production code — automatically.
Multi-node agent orchestrator — tasks, agents, missions, git, files, and worktrees, with any model, local or cloud.
runfusion.ai → · GitHub · Docs
Install
Zero install, straight from npm:
npx runfusion.ai
Boots the dashboard. Subcommands forward through (npx runfusion.ai task list, etc). Long form: npx @runfusion/fusion dashboard.
One-line installer (macOS & Linux — auto-picks Homebrew, falls back to npm):
curl -fsSL https://runfusion.ai/install.sh | sh
Homebrew (macOS & Linux):
brew install runfusion/fusion/fusion
Fully-qualified install auto-taps and, on Homebrew 6.0+, trusts only this formula. If short-name install fails with “untrusted tap”, run brew trust --formula runfusion/fusion/fusion then brew install fusion.
npm global:
npm install -g @runfusion/fusion
fn dashboard # or: fusion dashboard
Launch the dashboard
From a shell:
fn dashboard # or: fusion dashboard / npx @runfusion/fusion dashboard
fn dashboard --paused # start with automation paused
fn dashboard --dev # development-mode dashboard + AI engine
fn dashboard --no-engine # web UI only, no AI engine
The dashboard gives you:
- A live kanban board — tasks move through columns automatically as AI works on them
- Task detail view — generated spec, step-by-step progress, reviewer verdicts, full execution log
- Dependency-aware scheduling — declare task dependencies or let the engine infer them
- Auto-merge — on by default; reviewed work squash-merges without you lifting a finger
- Parallel execution — independent tasks run simultaneously in isolated git worktrees
- Self-sustaining board — agents may spawn follow-up tasks; the board feeds itself
Your entire dev environment. On a single pane of glass.
Describe a task in plain language. A triage agent reads your project, understands context, and writes a full PROMPT.md spec — steps, file scope, acceptance criteria. Then Fusion plans, reviews, executes, and reviews again, in an isolated git worktree, with a human approval gate wherever you want one.
One board. Controlled from anywhere. Laptop, Mac mini, Linux server, cloud VM, phone — all connected.

How it works
You create a task with a rough description. A pipeline of specialized agents takes over.
Specification. A triage agent reads your codebase — file structure, existing patterns, related code — and turns your rough idea into a detailed spec. It breaks the work into discrete steps, identifies which files are in scope, writes acceptance criteria, and assigns a complexity rating that determines how aggressively the work gets reviewed.
Scheduling. Tasks declare dependencies on each other. The scheduler builds a dependency graph and starts work only when upstream tasks are done. Independent tasks run in parallel — each in its own isolated git worktree, so there are no conflicts during execution.
Execution & review. An executor agent works through the spec step by step in the worktree. At each step boundary, a separate reviewer agent, with read-only access, independently evaluates the work. The reviewer can approve (continue), request revisions (fix specific issues), or force a rethink (change the approach entirely). Review depth scales with the task's complexity rating: trivial tasks get light checks, complex tasks get thorough multi-pass review.
Merge. When execution finishes and the reviewer signs off, the task moves to In Review:
- Direct merge (default) — automatically squash-merges the completed task branch into your current branch with a clean commit.
- Pull request — automatically creates or links a GitHub PR, waits for reviews/checks, then merges once policy conditions are satisfied.
autoMerge controls whether Fusion performs completion automatically. If disabled, tasks stay in In Review until you finish the merge yourself. For PR-first mode, authenticate GitHub with gh auth login.
Tasks flow through: Triage → Todo → In Progress → In Review → Done.
This execution model is heavily based on Taskplane.

Working from chat
Manage tasks without leaving the conversation:
"Every ten minutes, analyze the server code for logic the client hasn't implemented yet and create tasks. Tasks may spawn additional tasks, so just add enough to keep the board saturated."
"Create a Fusion task to fix the login redirect bug"
"Add a task for dark mode support, it depends on FN-003"
"What's the status of FN-042"
"Attach screenshot.png to FN-007"
"Pause FN-012 — I want to add more context first"
The Fusion extension exposes tools to create tasks, check progress, attach files, and pause or resume automation.
Standalone CLI
See STANDALONE.md for additional installation and usage options.
Optional provider: Factory AI via Droid CLI
@runfusion/fusion now ships a vendored @fusion/droid-cli extension in the published CLI bundle.
To use it:
- Install the
droidbinary and ensure it is on yourPATH - Authenticate with Droid CLI (
droid auth login) - In Fusion dashboard, go to Settings → Authentication and enable Factory AI — via Droid CLI
- Restart Fusion when prompted so the extension is loaded into the runtime
Once enabled, droid-cli models appear in Fusion model selection.
Maintainer note: workspace plugins in published CLI bundles
When CLI or dashboard runtime code imports workspace plugin packages (for example @fusion-plugin-examples/roadmap), those imports must stay statically analyzable and covered by packages/cli/tsup.config.ts noExternal rules so plugin runtime code is inlined into dist/bin.js.
Do not introduce dynamic or variable module specifiers for workspace plugin runtime paths in the published execution path. If a workspace plugin is needed for bundled auto-install, stage a bundled plugin entry (dist/plugins/<id>/bundled.js) rather than copying raw TypeScript source into dist/.
