fix: recognize omp box composers for safe worker control by MrGTV-love · Pull Request #33 · MrGTV-love/firstmate

MrGTV-love · 2026-10-06T22:48:26Z

Intent

"lets close them and transition many of them to claude" (the live omp worker sessions that still hold ~1 GB Mnemopi embedding helpers under memory pressure; the captain also said "I have a lot of capcity on claude, so let's use it too via tc run").

Context: on 2026-10-06 16:21 CT, bin/fm-control.sh relaunch --harness claude for 11 idle omp workers in the main home was refused for every one with "composer state is 'unknown', not proven empty; refusing to type the /quit exit command". The same refusal ('unknown' / 'pending-unproven') blocked bin/fm-secondmate-restart.sh for all 7 Vernant lanes at 15:55. The workers are idle at an empty composer (one showed "F5 to retry" after "1 job settled 1 failed"). A captured screen is in data/fm-omp-composer-unknown-blocks-control/screen-fm-model-index.txt: omp draws a rounded box whose TOP border carries its status line ("╭── π > ◒ GPT-6.1-Sol ... ──╮") and whose bottom border is "╰─ ... ─╯" with an empty interior, even though .omp/fm-session-overlay.yml pins composer.shape: borderless.

What Changed

Recognize omp’s status-bearing rounded box and folded input row so proven-empty workers can exit or relaunch safely, while preserving pending drafts and treating unstyled hint text as unknown.
Add classifier regression coverage and an isolated Herdr lifecycle guard with opt-in relaunch checks; document box rendering and overlay live reload while retaining the borderless composer pin.
Include live-validation n-gram prediction state artifacts.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The change is bounded to recognizing the observed omp box composer through the existing shared classifier, preserves ambiguous-input refusal, and introduces no substantiated material defect or intent contradiction.

Testing

Focused composer regressions and isolated live Herdr scenarios passed after correcting the guard’s startup-registration race and disabling fixture ghost completions. Real viewport captures and lifecycle transcripts demonstrate draft preservation, empty-box exit/relaunch, failed-turn recovery, and Claude replacement liveness. Claude remained at an external-import permission prompt; no model-execution claim is made. All labs and transient fixtures were removed.

Live validation: ✅ go - 8 of 8 scenarios driven live against the product

Scenario	Result	Live	Evidence
Exit a live empty rounded-box omp worker without removing its endpoint	✅ pass	live	omp-ready-lifecycle.log; composer-safety-and-claude-transition.html; composer-before-after.log
Attempt exit with an ordinary unsent draft and preserve the draft	✅ pass	live	claude-exact-lifecycle.log; composer-safety-and-claude-transition.html
Type the exact effort hint and retain ambiguity when capture styling is absent	✅ pass	live	claude-exact-lifecycle.log; rendered typed-hint viewport in composer-safety-and-claude-transition.html
Attempt exit with prompt glyphs, border characters, and wrapped text as drafts	✅ pass	live	claude-exact-lifecycle.log; composer-safety-and-claude-transition.html
Relaunch a proven live empty-box omp worker in the same endpoint	✅ pass	live	omp-ready-lifecycle.log
Transition an idle box-shaped omp worker to a live Claude replacement	✅ pass	live	claude-exact-lifecycle.log; composer-safety-and-claude-transition.html
Relaunch an idle box composer after a real failed provider turn	✅ pass	live	retry-lifecycle.log; retry-failed-turn-idle.html
Reject relaunch verification when the second omp launch dies during startup	✅ pass	live	failed-second-launch.log

🚨 bin/fm-composer-lib.sh:1339 - A plain capture treats a real draft equal to ⇧⇥ to change thinking effort as empty. Concrete sequence: type that string into an omp box, then take Herdr's supported ANSI-failure/plain-success fallback (bin/backends/herdr.sh:3240-3242). The unconditional hint acceptance returns empty, allowing fm-control.sh:635-666 to append and submit /quit into the existing draft. The same invariant is violated by bin/fm-composer-lib.sh:1724-1725, which erases this draft during extraction, and tests/fm-composer-lib.test.sh:549, which requires the ambiguous plain bytes to read empty; the styled typed-input counterpart at :552-553 demonstrates the collision. Preserve ambiguity at the shared omp-box hint boundary: without styling proof, return unknown rather than empty and do not discard the text during extraction.
⚠️ tests/fm-omp-composer-box-live-e2e.test.sh:44 - The documented command sets only FM_OMP_COMPOSER_BOX_LIVE_RELAUNCH=1, but fm_live_gate receives only FM_OMP_COMPOSER_BOX_LIVE. If a required tool is absent, the explicitly requested relaunch verification exits successfully with a capability skip; FM_LIVE=0 also suppresses it. Relevant siblings are the relaunch entry point at :248 and the refresh command in docs/verification/runtime-backends.md:965. Make relaunch=1 force the shared capability gate, while keeping relaunch=0 from disabling the token-free portion.
⚠️ tests/fm-omp-composer-box-live-e2e.test.sh:107 - The new grep assertion checks an exact configuration line rather than its YAML meaning, contrary to the test-quality rule for machine-consumed declarative artifacts. Together with the textual transformation at :106, it can fail on a behavior-preserving formatting change. Remove this source-content assertion: the real omp consumer is already invoked at :159, and its rendered box shape is asserted at :180-185.
⚠️ bin/fm-composer-lib.sh:1269 - Simplification: the change introduces configurable matching options FM_COMPOSER_OMP_BOX_TOP_RE and FM_COMPOSER_OMP_BOX_HINT_RE, although the intent requires recognizing the verified omp box shape, not allowing operators to redefine its identity or idle hint. The hint override is also consumed at bin/fm-composer-lib.sh:1323 and :1723. No stated requirement needs these additional acceptance paths. Remove the new overrides and use the fixed verified patterns; this recommendation concerns scope, so it needs the author's decision.

🔧 Fix applied.

⚠️ tests/fm-omp-composer-box-live-e2e.test.sh:267 - Simplification: the model-generated instruction-acknowledgement component exceeds the intent to recognize box composers and safely exit/relaunch workers. Token generation (:115), the response-only brief (:128–136), and the 180-second token poll (:267–274) verify unchanged instruction-following behavior rather than composer or lifecycle correctness. The assertion also accepts a token already contained in the submitted launch brief (:134; bin/fm-spawn.sh:3119,2107), without distinguishing assistant output from input. Remove this acknowledgement component and its success claims at tests/fm-omp-composer-box-live-e2e.test.sh:275 and docs/verification/runtime-backends.md:980; retain real relaunch coverage using replacement-agent liveness and endpoint preservation. Removal, rather than hardening this additional model-response verifier, is the smallest remedy; this scope decision needs authorization.

⚠️ tests/fm-omp-composer-box-live-e2e.test.sh:253 - The second-launch wait falls through after 60 unsuccessful reads without checking its precondition. Concrete sequence: pane run successfully submits the launch command, but that omp process exits during startup; the composer never reads empty, yet fm-control relaunch accepts the dead agent as already stopped (bin/fm-control.sh:572-574), launches a replacement, and the guard passes. It therefore claims to have relaunched an idle box-shaped worker without exercising that path. Round 2's replacement-liveness fix leaves this precondition unchecked. Relevant changed sites are tests/fm-omp-composer-box-live-e2e.test.sh:250 (launch submission), :254-258 (unchecked wait before control), :264-267 (replacement-only proof and success claim), and docs/verification/runtime-backends.md:981 (matching claim). Require a live agent and a proven empty box composer before invoking relaunch; fail when the wait expires.

bash tests/fm-composer-lib.test.sh — targeted composer classification and extraction regressions.
bash tests/fm-omp-composer-box-live-e2e.test.sh with FM_OMP_COMPOSER_BOX_LIVE=1 and FM_OMP_COMPOSER_BOX_LIVE_RELAUNCH=1 — real omp through the production Herdr adapter in a disposable named lab.
python3 .live-validation/supplement.py — disposable driver exercising glyph-only drafts, wrapped input, exact idle-hint text, ANSI-failure/plain-success fallback, and public fm-control.sh refusal behavior; setup errors were corrected before the successful run.
Compared the base and target fm_composer_classify_screen implementations against the same newly captured live idle-box ANSI viewport: base returned unknown; target returned empty.
fm-control.sh <disposable-task> relaunch --harness claude --note 'Verify replacement liveness only; do not edit any file.' — verified live Claude identity, preserved pane, metadata, HEAD, and uncommitted file; claude auth status confirmed an existing login.
Re-ran the live guard through .live-validation/r6-lab.py, making the second launch execute real omp --version and exit before drawing a composer; verified the guard rejected the dead/unknown precondition without launching a replacement.
Captured actual Herdr ANSI viewports, rendered them as HTML, and captured reviewer-visible images with Chromium; completed guarded lab teardowns and removed disposable drivers, homes, worktrees, and temporary artifacts.

… workers omp live-reloads the overlay files it was started with, so workers launched before the overlay split lost their composer.shape: borderless pin and fell back to the box shape: status line in the top border, editor last row folded into the bottom border. The shared classifier read that screen as unknown, so fm-control exit and relaunch refused every idle omp worker. Teach the classifier this shape, proven only by omp's status identity in a rounded top border and a folded "╰─ ... ─╯" last row. Empty reads empty, typed text (including a lone prompt glyph) reads pending, and every other variant stays unknown. Add behavioral tests from the captured screen and a live Herdr guard that drives fm-control exit and relaunch on a real omp.
