feat(work): cap consecutive identical sdd_loop dispatch failures before auto-redispatching indefinitely - #557
Conversation
… 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.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughTerminal job failures now count consecutive identical dispatch-cycle reasons. Below the cap, reconciliation restores work state and assignment. At the cap, reconciliation stops automatic redispatch and records manual-dispatch state. ChangesDispatch failure ceiling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change stops repeated identical dispatch failures after three cycles and routes affected items for manual review, but failures can still be counted across an intervening cycle and a manual redispatch can immediately hit the cap again. These are bounded correctness risks that warrant owner follow-up before or alongside merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

77-94: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winNothing resets the streak after a manual redispatch.
Only a success comment or a different reason clears the streak. After the ceiling trips, the operator fixes the root cause and runs
item action=redispatch. If that run fails once with the same normalized reason, the count isCAP + 1and the ceiling trips again immediately. The operator gets no retry budget after intervention, although the cap comment invites a retry.Treat

714-737: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winReplace the wall-clock sleeps with explicit timestamps.
Each seeded cycle sleeps up to two seconds, so one call costs about five seconds and three tests use it. The sleeps also do not fully remove the ordering risk: they only widen the window against second-resolution timestamps and random comment ids.
Write
created_atdirectly on the seeded rows through the connection, or expose a test seam that accepts a timestamp. The tests then run fast and the ordering becomes deterministic.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Around line 170-177: Update the at-cap branch of release_and_comment to
restore the cleared assignee_agent using the same mechanism as the below-cap
branch, while retaining the NEEDS_MANUAL_LABEL behavior. Ensure the assignee
restoration is independent of the label so the label only controls whether
automatic redispatch occurs.
In `@src/dispatch_failure_ceiling.rs`:
- Around line 61-67: Update the segment-processing loop around failure_reason so
segments without a failure comment record a sentinel that breaks
consecutive-failure tracking instead of being skipped. Ensure orphan
reconciliation, cancellation, or daemon-restart cycles prevent failures on
either side from being counted as adjacent, while preserving existing
normalization for segments that do contain a failure reason.

) 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. Agentflare-Agent: claude-code Agentflare-Branch: task/506-cap-consecutive-identical-sdd-loop-dispa Agentflare-Item: 506
