Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved recovery from expired or missing AI sessions.
  • Failed steps now clear invalid session data so retries can start fresh instead of repeatedly failing.
  • Enhanced detection of review-only workflows across supported metadata and description formats.
  • Other provider error handling remains unchanged.

• Tests

  • Added coverage verifying stale sessions are removed and subsequent retries complete successfully.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pipeline clears cached sessions after matching missing-conversation errors. Review-only detection accepts additional metadata and description formats. Regression coverage verifies fresh retry execution without resume arguments.

Changes

Pipeline behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Session error handling src/work_item_pipeline.rs	The pipeline detects provider errors containing “no conversation found” and clears cached role or judge sessions before returning StepFailed.
Stale session retry coverage src/work_item_pipeline/sdd_loop_tests.rs	The test verifies stale-session removal after the first failed attempt and successful retry without resume arguments.
Review-only detection src/work_item_pipeline.rs	Detection accepts review, design-spec, and design_spec metadata, plus standalone design spec description phrases.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

610-666: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add stale judge-session recovery coverage.

This test injects the stale-session error during role dispatch only. It does not execute the new judge recovery branch in src/work_item_pipeline.rs Lines 476-486.

Add a case where role dispatch succeeds, judge dispatch fails with "No conversation found", and the retried judge invocation has no resume arguments.
