Pressing Start on a Coding (Ideas) card only writes a column move — there is no
dispatch call in that path — so planning did not begin until the triage
processor's next timer tick, up to pollIntervalMs (15s default) later. The
"Started planning" toast was optimistic and the card just sat in Todo.
- Wake planning discovery on the store's task:updated/task:created event when a
task lands in todo/triage. Binding the wake to the store event rather than the
Start button covers every move surface (board drag, context menu, task detail,
List view, CLI, agent tools, POST /tasks/:id/move) by construction. The wake is
advisory: it only advances WHEN the poll runs, so every pause, seed-prompt,
dependency, and concurrency gate still applies.
- Admit a todo task whose PROMPT.md is missing instead of dropping it through a
silent `catch {}`. The scheduler KEEPS a candidate whose prompt it cannot read,
so such a card was invisible to planning while still visible to dispatch, with
no log line in either lane. Unreadable (non-ENOENT) prompts now log.
- Route the scheduler's dispatch filter through the shared isUnplannedSeedPrompt
predicate. Its open-coded strict bootstrap compare disagreed with triage on the
refinement-seed shape, leaving hold-release as the only thing between an
executor and a prompt containing just the operator's feedback text. The
predicate also normalizes line endings/trailing whitespace, so a CRLF or
trailing-newline round-trip no longer reclassifies an unplanned card as planned.
