Design-spec (docs only, no code change) comparing Cloudflare Workflows' events-and-parameters model against flare-workflow's start_workflow/MCP run boundary. WaitEvent/complete_event already closely matches waitForEvent/sendEvent (incl. documented event-buffering). The actual gap: no structured/typed initial payload reaches the MCP boundary (only an opaque input: String), and no auto-populated trigger metadata (timestamp, workflow name) on WorkflowContext. Recommends a parallel params: serde_json::Value channel journaled inside the existing Input entry (no migration) plus {{params.x}} template support — ~60-90 LOC, additive only. See crates/flare-workflow/TYPED_PARAMS_DESIGN.md.

…#125)

Compares Cloudflare Workflows' events-and-parameters doc against
flare-workflow's start_workflow/MCP run boundary. The WaitEvent/
complete_event durable-wait mechanism already closely matches Cloudflare's
waitForEvent/sendEvent, including documented event-buffering semantics.
The real gap is upstream: no structured/typed initial payload reaches the
MCP boundary, only a single opaque input string, and no auto-populated
trigger metadata (timestamp, workflow name) exists on WorkflowContext.
Recommends a parallel params: serde_json::Value channel journaled inside
the existing Input entry (no schema migration), with {{params.x}} template
support, as a ~60-90 LOC additive change. No code change made here; this
records the concrete design for a follow-up implementation item.

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 57 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Two real bugs surfaced by CodeRabbit's review of PR #557:

- The at-cap branch of handle_terminal_job_failure never restored
  assignee_agent after release_and_comment cleared it, so the cap
  comment's own instruction ("item action=redispatch") would fail
  with "no assignee_agent to redispatch to" unless the caller passed
  one explicitly.

- consecutive_identical_failure_count treated neither a posted cap
  comment nor an unrecorded-outcome cycle (e.g. an orphan-restart via
  restore_ready_for_work, which deliberately posts no marker) as a
  streak boundary. A post-redispatch retry that failed with the same
  reason would immediately re-trip the cap with zero retry budget,
  and a benign daemon-restart gap could silently bridge two otherwise
  unrelated identical-reason cycles into a false consecutive streak.

Fixed both, added regression tests for each, and reformatted with
cargo fmt.

…re auto-redispatching indefinitely (#557)

* Adds a dispatch-attempt ceiling to the daemon's auto-redispatch loop, per the item's ask: after `DISPATCH_FAILURE_CAP` (3) consecutive dispatch cycles ending with the same normalized terminal failure reason, the daemon stops auto-redispatching and surfaces the item for manual/PM review instead of retry-looping indefinitely.

- New `src/dispatch_failure_ceiling.rs`: parses `## supervisor — dispatched` / `## agentflare work — failed` / `## agentflare work — complete` comment markers into per-cycle failure reasons, counts the consecutive-identical streak (whitespace-normalized so formatting-only diffs still match), resets on a differing reason or a success.
- `dashboard::orphan_reconcile::handle_terminal_job_failure` now checks the streak: below the cap, restores `ready-for-work` (unchanged behavior); at/above the cap, swaps to `needs-manual-dispatch` (or leaves it off `ready-for-work` if that label doesn't exist) and posts a `## supervisor — identical failure cap reached` comment with the last failure reason, so a human knows to `item action=redispatch` after fixing the root cause.
- `supervisor::dispatch_item` now emits its dispatch-marker comment via a shared constant instead of an ad hoc string literal, so the ceiling's comment-parsing can't silently drift out of sync. `cli::work::release_and_comment`'s failure-marker stays a literal string (a comment there documents the sync requirement) rather than importing the constant, because `src/cli/work.rs` is LOC-frozen at exactly 2100 lines and any net-positive change to it is rejected by the repo's LOC gate.
- Also fixed the same label/assignee-restore ordering bug in `handle_terminal_job_failure` that a same-day review found in the sibling `restore_ready_for_work` function (separate PR #556, unmerged as of this writing): `assignee_agent` is now restored before the `ready-for-work` label is added, so a DB failure between the two calls can't strand the item labeled-ready-but-unassigned (item #150's failure class).

This continues WIP a prior cursor dispatch on this item left uncommitted in the worktree (real progress — the core module and its 5 unit tests were already correct and unchanged here). I reviewed it, fixed a clippy `collapsible_if` lint and a formatting nit, applied the ordering fix above, unstaged an unrelated LOC-over-budget hunk on `work.rs` that was staged from the earlier attempt, and verified: `cargo build --lib`, `cargo clippy --tests -- -A unsafe_code -A clippy::pedantic -D warnings`, and `cargo fmt --check` all clean; `dispatch_failure_ceiling::tests` (5/5), `dashboard::orphan_reconcile::tests` (10/10, including 2 new cap-behavior tests), and `supervisor::tests` (28/28) all pass.

* fix(work): address CodeRabbit findings on the dispatch failure cap (#506)

Two real bugs surfaced by CodeRabbit's review of PR #557:

- The at-cap branch of handle_terminal_job_failure never restored
  assignee_agent after release_and_comment cleared it, so the cap

  and a benign daemon-restart gap could silently bridge two otherwise
