**Supersedes #2691, which I am closing.** #2689 landed the terminal-pair
batch on `executor.ts` while my PR was open on the same file — we
collided, that PR won the race, and 30 of my 70 conversions are now
identical to its work. Rather than resolve 30 conflict hunks in a
20k-line lifecycle file (unreviewable, and the wrong artifact to hand
you), I rebuilt from `origin/main`.
**`executor.ts` 57 → 15.** Repo backlog 679 → **650**.
## The four that are defects, not vocabulary
**1. `isReentrantPausedAbortedInFlightNode` resolved lanes at the END,
for its return value, while its four `in-review` eligibility gates were
literals.** On a renamed board those gates all read false — so a review
card skipped the global-pause recheck, the `autoMerge === false`
refusal, the shared-branch-member arbitration **and** the
merge-confirmed refusal — and then the lane-resolved final line answered
*"re-entrant"*. FN-7214's own comment says an auto-merge-off review row
must stay terminal.
**2. The REVERSE half-conversion.**
`routeGraphFailureToExecutionResume`'s destination was already resolved
(U7's `resolveReboundColumnFor`) behind a gate that was still three
literals — so the router refused before reaching its own working move.
| direction | what happens | visible? |
|---|---|---|
| resolved gate → literal destination | card admitted, move rejected by
a board with no such column | **yes** — the move errors |
| literal gate → resolved destination | card refused; the working
recovery never runs | **no** |
Only the second is silent, which is exactly why it survived U7's own
conversion of that destination. **When you convert a destination, check
the gate in front of it in the same commit.**
**3. `routeUnusableWorktreeGraphFailureToRecovery` skipped FN-5147's
auto-merge-off gate** on a renamed board — an automatic recovery moving
a human-review-terminal card backward. #2689 converted the terminal
guard at the top of that method; this is the other half of the same
decision, which is the general risk when two people split one file.
**4. `handleGraphFailure`'s `alreadyFinalizedToReview` /
`suppressFinalizedCompletionAbort`** read `column !== "in-progress"`, so
a completed, already-finalized row looked still-in-wip: FN-6644 /
FN-6647's suppression never fired and the row was re-parked as an
operator-action pause abort — the durability gap those tickets closed.
## Two patterns worth carrying to other files
**An inert guard rarely reports "renamed board" — it reports something
that sounds like a different problem.** `finalizeAlreadyReviewedTask`
returned `"missing"` for a card sitting in review. The completion
handoff logged *"no longer active"* for a card that was actively
executing. The stuck-requeue cleanup logged *"recovered concurrently"*
about a recovery that had not happened. Three different false
explanations, one cause.
**Directions differ inside one family, so convert per method, not per
pattern.** Most wip guards read `!== "in-progress"` and REFUSE on
no-match (renamed board → silently disabled). The rerun watchdog reads
`=== "in-progress"` and SKIPS on match — there the literal never
matched, so a rerun could fire on a card **mid-execution**. A mechanical
sweep of `!== "in-progress"` fixes the refusals and leaves that
admission in place.
Also: the resolver choice inverts within a few lines. *"Is this card in
the ONE column finalize targets?"* needs the **complete** column — the
terminal union carries the legacy ids, so a card in a column merely
*named* `done` reads as already finalized and the finalize is
**skipped**. *"Is this card already finished, so do not move it?"* needs
the **union** — over-inclusion only skips a move, under-inclusion moves
a finished card out of its terminal column. Both are recorded at their
sites.
## Revert proof
19 cases in `executor-graph-failure-lanes-resolved.test.ts`, on a board
sharing **no** column id with the default lineage (on the default board
these guards are correct by coincidence — the literals *are* the board).
**8 fail on revert.** The rest are labelled **in the file** as paired
positives, default-board no-change cases, or — in one instance — a guard
that is genuinely redundant with a later lane check. I would rather
label a case as non-evidence than count it.
Two fixture corrections are recorded at their sites, both my own
assertion failing to touch the behaviour it named: asserting a router's
return value (which was already false for an unrelated reason — fixed by
spying on the recovery call), and `allowsAutoMergeProcessing` keying on
the **global** setting rather than `task.autoMerge` (fixed the fixture,
not the assertion).
## The 15 that remain, each with a reason
- **7 `to`/`from` move-effect parameters** — a move's endpoints, not a
card's resting column. Trait-hook territory.
- **2 enumeration scans** — one is a `listTasks({ column: "in-progress"
})` query whose filter cannot be converted without the query (converting
the filter alone reads as done and changes nothing); the other loops
every task, so per-task resolution is a real cost wanting a shared memo.
- **`12325`, the dependency guard** — *"is this dependency satisfied?"*
is not any single lane role. The same question exists at
`register-task-workflow-routes.ts:3995`; both should be decided once,
together.
- **`14484`** (`fromColumn === "in-review" && toColumn === "in-review"`)
— a same-lane move check that belongs with the move-effect group above.
## Verification
`pnpm test:gate` **158 / 10 / 487 / 71** · **135/135** across the 17
suites covering these paths · `tsc -p packages/engine` clean · `pnpm
lint` clean · census `--strict` exit 0, baseline re-recorded.
No changeset: `@fusion/engine` is private and the behaviour change is
confined to renamed boards.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved workflow execution across boards with renamed lifecycle lanes
by resolving lane targets per board instead of using fixed column names.
* Fixed review, WIP, completion, and failure-recovery behaviors to
respect the correct board snapshot (including auto-merge and terminal
work states).
* Improved artifact-recovery protection timing and tightened
execution-resume gating for failure scenarios.
* **Tests**
* Added a new lifecycle invariant test suite covering renamed-lane
recovery, resume, pause/abort, and router-gating behavior.
* Updated lifecycle column census baseline data.
