gsxdsm 8ba375549c feat(FN-1453): fix mission autopilot progression and state refresh
- Fix mission autopilot slice activation when tasks complete
- Fix state refresh in MissionManager to properly reflect autopilot status
- Fix scheduler to correctly trigger autopilot progression events
- Add unit tests for mission store autopilot state transitions
- Add component tests for MissionManager autopilot toggle and state display
- Add e2e tests for mission autopilot lifecycle (enable → task completion → slice progression)
- Update documentation with autopilot state machine details

Missions

← Docs index

Missions provide structured planning across multiple related tasks.

Mission Hierarchy

Fusion models delivery as:

Mission → Milestone → Slice → Feature → Task

Example:

Mission: Improve Reliability
  Milestone: Stabilize execution pipeline
    Slice: Retry and recovery hardening
      Feature: Stuck task recovery improvements
        Task: FN-210
        Task: FN-214

Creating Missions

Dashboard

Use the Mission Manager UI to create missions and build hierarchy interactively.

CLI

fn mission create "Reliability initiative" "Reduce execution failures and improve recovery"
fn mission list
fn mission show mission_123
fn mission activate-slice slice_456
fn mission delete mission_123 --force

Mission Interview and Planning Workflow

The dashboard supports mission planning workflows where you can:

  • Define mission outcomes
  • Break work into milestones/slices/features
  • Associate features to executable tasks
  • Track progress at each layer

Slice Activation and Progress

Slices represent staged execution windows.

  • Pending slices remain inactive
  • Active slices are currently allowed to progress
  • Completion rolls up through feature → slice → milestone → mission

Manual activation is available through fn mission activate-slice <slice-id>.

Mission Autopilot

When autopilotEnabled is on, Fusion can watch completion events and progress missions automatically.

State machine:

  • inactive
  • watching
  • activating
  • completing

Typical flow:

  1. Mission is watched
  2. Task completion updates feature status
  3. If a slice is complete, autopilot activates next pending slice
  4. When milestones are all complete, mission transitions to complete

autopilotEnabled vs autoAdvance

  • autopilotEnabled: primary control for autopilot behavior — enables background monitoring, orchestration, and automatic slice activation when a slice completes. Also triggers auto-triage (converting features to tasks) when a slice is activated.
  • autoAdvance: legacy fallback for backward compatibility with existing mission data. Kept for compatibility — new missions should use autopilotEnabled.

Auto-triage behavior:

  • autopilotEnabled=true → features in activated slices are automatically triaged (converted to tasks)
  • autopilotEnabled=false, autoAdvance=true → features are triaged (legacy compat)
  • autopilotEnabled=false, autoAdvance=false → manual slice activation only

Slice progression (on slice completion):

  • autopilotEnabled=true → next pending slice is automatically activated
  • autopilotEnabled=false, autoAdvance=true → next pending slice is activated (legacy compat)
  • autopilotEnabled=false, autoAdvance=false → manual activation required

Dashboard UI: The Mission Manager shows autopilotEnabled as the primary control. When enabling autopilot on an already-active mission, the system automatically checks whether recovery is needed (no active slice or completed active slice) and progresses accordingly.

Autopilot API Endpoints

Endpoint Purpose
GET /api/missions/:missionId/autopilot Get autopilot status for mission
PATCH /api/missions/:missionId/autopilot Enable/disable autopilot ({ enabled: boolean })
POST /api/missions/:missionId/autopilot/start Start watching manually
POST /api/missions/:missionId/autopilot/stop Stop watching manually
