From 4df6a39106d8d1424ed77b5cc730aad92a7a1d46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: egg Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 03:45:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix BRC plan phase spawning multiple cycles instead of single consensus round Fixes three related bugs causing duplicate review cycles, deadlocks, and incorrect pipeline status when BRC consensus is used in the plan phase. Bug 1: After concurrent phase consensus, separate reviewer containers were spawned redundantly since BRC already includes reviewers. Added a guard to skip reviewer spawning when use_concurrent is True. Bug 2: When a producer re-proposed after stale ACKs were invalidated, handle_confirmed raised ValueError causing the agent to give up (deadlock). Now returns pending_acks status so the agent retries, and the signal handler returns 202 instead of 400. Bug 3: _update_agents_complete only transitioned RUNNING agents to COMPLETE, leaving FAILED agents marked as failed even after successful consensus. Also reset pipeline/phase status to RUNNING at cycle start to prevent stale FAILED status from persisting.
