Opened by opencode on flared:c997d745ae66 for item #500 via agentflare.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added Claude subscription usage monitoring across short- and long-term limits.
  • Automatically switches eligible work to a configured alternative when Claude usage exceeds the threshold.
  • Separates implementation and review roles for more targeted task execution.
  • Supports cached usage checks and graceful handling of expired credentials or unavailable usage data.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved routing so explicit assignments and non-Claude workflows are not redirected incorrectly.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for usage detection, fallback routing, and role-specific review dispatch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Claude subscription usage is retrieved and cached. When usage exceeds 70%, work can use a configured non-Claude fallback. Pipeline construction now separates implementation and review agents.

Changes

Claude usage fallback and agent-role routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Claude usage detection and caching src/claude_usage.rs, src/main.rs	The new module parses credentials, retrieves five-hour and seven-day usage, applies a 70% threshold, caches results for five minutes, checks expiration, and fails open on errors.
Fallback implementer selection src/cli/work.rs	Agent resolution identifies eligible non-Claude fallbacks. Execution switches the implementer only when Claude exceeds the usage threshold.
Separate implementation and review dispatch src/work_item_pipeline.rs, src/cli/work.rs, src/dashboard/server.rs	Pipeline APIs accept separate implementer and review agents. Implementation uses the implementer, while task review and re-review use the review agent. Tests cover routing and dispatch behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 42341

Fallback implementer launches may receive the wrong command-line behavior, causing autonomous work to fail or run incorrectly. The PR is not merge-ready until argument construction and headless handling use the dispatched agent.

Build launch arguments for implementer_agent. build_extra_args and the headless check still use agent_enum, while real_agent_send_hook applies the shared arguments to every role. A fallback implementer therefore receives Claude-specific flags and can miss its own autonomous flags. Validate headless support and build arguments from the dispatched agent.

Superseded by #532 — the two PRs were produced concurrently (items #494 and #500 were dispatched at the same time) and both implemented the same Claude usage-threshold fallback, producing overlapping changes to src/claude_usage.rs, src/cli/work.rs, and src/main.rs.

#532 now contains the complete, correctly-wired fallback (the Major CodeRabbit finding here — "build launch args for implementer_agent, not agent_enum" — is fixed there) plus the scope-check error-classification fix for #524. Closing this as a duplicate; the fallback feature ships via #532.

Superseded by #532 (duplicate concurrent work on the Claude usage-threshold fallback; #532 carries the complete fix + the #524 scope-check change).
