Summary

Implements the end-to-end @archie Slack feature-to-review-app workflow per docs/specs/2026-04-17-slack-archie-feature-to-review-app-design.md and docs/plans/2026-04-17-slack-archie-feature-to-review-app-plan.md.

A natural-language feature request in Slack now flows through: interactive spec creation → plan → implementation in a fresh worktree → local validation → PR → two-round code review → CI wait → review-app dispatch → URL fetch → final "PR + review-app URL" post back to the thread.

Changes

  • .archon/scripts/dispatch-review-app.js — wraps gh workflow run for review-app deployment
  • .archon/scripts/ci-wait.js — wraps gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast with a hard wall-clock timeout
  • .archon/scripts/fetch-review-app-url.js — polls PR comments for a review-app URL matching a regex
  • .archon/workflows/defaults/archon-slack-feature-to-review-app.yaml — 9-phase workflow composing existing commands (archon-create-plan, archon-implement-tasks, archon-finalize-pr, the five review agents, archon-synthesize-review, archon-implement-review-fixes, etc.)
  • packages/workflows/src/defaults/bundled-defaults.{ts,test.ts} — register the new workflow for binary builds; bumps the count assertion 13 → 14

No new orchestrator or adapter code; no changes to packages outside packages/workflows registration.

Divergences from the plan

Scripts written as .js instead of .ts. The repo's typed ESLint rules crash on .archon/scripts/**/*.ts because parserOptions is only configured for packages/*/src/**. Repo hooks block both eslint.config.mjs edits and --no-verify. Plain .js is the existing convention in that directory (see echo-args.js) and falls under the global **/*.js eslint ignore. Each script retains JSDoc usage comments and runtime arg validation. YAML invocations updated to match.

No other divergences.

Test plan

  • bun run cli validate workflows archon-slack-feature-to-review-app — ok
  • bun run type-check — pass (all 5 packages)
  • bun run lint --max-warnings 0 — pass
  • bun run format:check — pass
  • bun --filter @archon/workflows test — 10/10 pass (incl. bundled-defaults count bump)
  • Each helper script's arg-validation paths verified (exit 2 on bad args, exit 3 on timeout)
  • Live end-to-end run from Slack against a real feature request — needs to happen post-merge on dev.

Known pre-existing test failures (not caused by this PR)

bun run test fails in @archon/core with 8 tests (getDatabaseType, path-validation, getWorkflowStatus). Verified pre-existing by checking out the tip of dev (commit 37b691b5, the commit just before this branch diverged) and reproducing identical failures. Root cause is parallel test-file env leakage, orthogonal to this feature.

Made with Cursor

Add design for a Slack @archie bot flow that takes a natural-language feature
request end-to-end: interactive spec with bounded revision loop, plan, implement
in worktree, open PR, bounded review loop, wait for CI, trigger review-app
deploy, post URL back to the thread. Composes existing Archon commands plus
three small helper scripts; no adapter changes required.

Made-with: Cursor
Bite-sized tasks covering 3 helper scripts, the workflow YAML, bundled-
defaults registration, pre-PR validation, and a manual smoke-test
checklist. Noted divergences from the design doc: code-review rounds
are unrolled explicitly, reviewApp config is hardcoded for v1, and
per-script unit tests are dropped in favor of workflow-level parsing
plus manual smoke test.

Made-with: Cursor
Wraps gh workflow run for review-app deployment; exits non-zero with a
clear message on dispatch failure. Used by archon-slack-feature-to-review-app.

Note: written as .js (not .ts as originally planned) to match the existing
.archon/scripts/echo-args.js pattern and avoid the typed-linting scope gap
for .archon/scripts/**/*.ts.

Made-with: Cursor
Wraps gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast with a wall-clock timeout so the
workflow can't hang indefinitely. Exit codes distinguish pass/fail/timeout.

Note: written as .js (not .ts as originally planned) for the same reason
as dispatch-review-app.js.

Made-with: Cursor
Polls gh pr view --json comments for a URL matching a caller-supplied
regex; prints the URL on stdout, errors on stderr so the workflow engine
captures only the URL via \$nodeId.output.

Note: written as .js (not .ts as originally planned) for the same reason
as dispatch-review-app.js.

Made-with: Cursor
End-to-end workflow for Slack @archie feature requests: interactive spec
creation (bounded 3-iteration revision loop), plan + implement + PR using
existing commands, two-round code review with conditional second pass, CI
wait, review-app dispatch, URL fetch from PR comments, and final post back
to the Slack thread. Composes existing commands; adds no new adapter or
orchestrator code.

Script invocations use .js extensions per the Tasks 1-3 divergence.

Made-with: Cursor
Adds the text import + map entry so binary builds include the workflow.
Bumps the bundled-workflow count assertion from 13 to 14 and adds the
workflow to the expected-names list.

Made-with: Cursor
Insert an interactive refine-plan loop between create-plan and
plan-setup, mirroring the existing spec-approval gate and the pattern
used by archon-scout-perf-roadmap. The loop posts a condensed plan
summary in-thread, accepts feedback that edits $ARTIFACTS_DIR/plan.md
in place, and only proceeds to plan-setup on explicit "approved" /
"looks good" / "ship it" / "go". Bounded at max_iterations: 5.

Rationale: previously the workflow jumped straight from plan creation
into implementation, giving the user no chance to reshape scope,
ordering, or task list before code gets written. This symmetrizes the
gating with Phase A and matches how other plan-driven workflows behave.
