+  const surface = "otto"; // the agent running this
+  subscribeOnce("infinite-backlog-nudge", surface, infiniteBacklogNudgeHandler).catch(console.error);


Parameterize subscriber surface instead of hardcoding otto

This handler always subscribes as "otto", so any infinite-backlog-nudge envelope addressed to another agent/surface (for example when standing-by-detector is run with a non-otto --to) will never be consumed by that recipient. Because subscribeOnce filters by to, this makes the subscriber non-functional for non-otto targets in a multi-agent setup; the surface should be injected via CLI/env/config rather than fixed.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

+  if (payload.suggestedTargetRow) {
+    console.log(`[subscriber] Queued suggested target row ${payload.suggestedTargetRow} as speculative-work candidate for step 3.`);


Read the suggested row field using the schema name

The handler checks payload.suggestedTargetRow, but the bus schema defines this optional hint as suggestedRowId (InfiniteBacklogNudgePayload), so suggested-row nudges are silently ignored and always fall back to the generic branch. This breaks the intended proxy-pick behavior when envelopes include a concrete suggested row.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Pull request overview

This PR extracts and lands the B-0459 “infinite backlog nudge” subscriber handler slice, alongside a reusable subscribeOnce helper for consuming bus envelopes with per-surface “seen” tracking.

Changes:

Adds tools/bus/subscribe.ts (subscribeOnce) plus unit tests for the seen-state behavior.
Adds tools/bg/infinite-backlog-subscriber.ts and tests, plus associated documentation/backlog row updates.

docs/backlog/P1/B-0459-b0440-slice-5-infinite-backlog-nudge-handler-2026-05-14.md:10

P1 (schema drift): status: shipped is not a valid backlog status per tools/backlog/README.md (allowed: open/closed/superseded-by-*/deferred/decomposed), and it will be treated as open by the index generator. Also last_updated must change on every edit; it still matches created. Update status to the correct enum value and bump last_updated.

Line 51 starts with `#3643` after wrap, which markdownlint reads as an atx heading without space (MD018/no-missing-space-atx). Prefixing with "PR " makes it a normal sentence continuation and matches the "PR #NNNN" style used elsewhere in the shard. Unblocks the required `lint (markdownlint)` check on PR #3677.

Triaged 40 open PRs; 4 of 6 actionable are claimed by active peer workers (Lior decompose branches + sibling Claude worker on PR #3597). No PR matches the strict `BLOCKED + resolve-threads` criterion in this worker's task packet — threads are gated by failed CI / dirty merge state. Substrate-honest move: leave the branches to their owners + write visibility-shard so other Otto-CLI fires don't redundantly survey.

Action-classification inconsistency: the shard said PRs #3633 and #3643 "both fail an identical set of 5 lint checks" while the table classified them with different nextActions (#3633→fix-failed-checks, #3643→wait-ci). Clarify the 5 lints are NON-required and explain the action divergence comes from independent required-check state, not from the shared lint signature. 2.

Lior Antigravity Check: This PR was a blob containing both the subscribeOnce helper and the infinite backlog nudge handler. I have successfully peeled off the subscribeOnce helper into #3775 for isolated review and merge. The remaining handler logic can be evaluated separately once the helper lands.
