feat(subagent): background-delivery surface (slice 2a) + shared acceptance protocol - #7788

Conversation
Add LoopInput::SubagentSettled { child_run_id: TurnRunId, message_ref:
LoopMessageRef } — refs only, no child content (D4). Inert surface: nothing
constructs this variant outside tests in this slice; Task 2 wires production
use.
Widened the existing ironclaw_host_api::turn import in input.rs to include
TurnRunId rather than adding a second import path.
cargo check --workspace after adding the variant reported exactly one
non-exhaustive-match site: crates/loop/ironclaw_agent_loop/src/executor/input.rs:188
(consume_drainable_inputs). Added SubagentSettled to that barrier arm
(break, same as GateResolved/CapabilitySurfaceChanged) as a deliberately
temporary placement — Task 2 moves it into the drainable arms.
Establishes the first serde tests for LoopInput: a round-trip test pinning
the snake_case tag, and a historical-wire-forms test guarding the durable
run-queue document (durable_input_queue.rs:109), where a parse failure
corrupts the whole queue rather than one entry.

SubagentSettled now drains like UserMessage/Steering in the Steering mode and additionally in FollowUp mode, matching the rationale already documented for Steering-during-final-call. Removing it from the control-barrier arm required adding it to the exhaustive match's drainable-variant arm in consume_drainable_inputs so the match stays exhaustive (that arm is unreachable at runtime for it since both drain modes now catch it first). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ugh match The prior comment claimed FollowUp was unreachable in the fall-through match, but Steering mode does not drain FollowUp inputs, so a FollowUp-variant input genuinely reaches that arm (and breaks, left unconsumed) when draining in Steering mode. Narrow the comment to what is actually unreachable: UserMessage, Steering, and SubagentSettled, which both mode arms drain. Also aligns the Steering arm's brace style with the structurally parallel FollowUp arm (cosmetic only). No control-flow change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
PostCapabilityStage::drain_settled() has been dead since it was scaffolded: it always returned an empty Vec, its single call site bound the result to _drained and never read it, and its doc comment promised a LoopBackgroundChildPort that exists nowhere in the repository. The real settled-background-subagent delivery path is LoopInput::SubagentSettled (tasks 1-2 of this slice). Remove the fn, its call site, and the stale R2 doc paragraph; renumber the surviving R1 compaction doc to plain prose since the R1/R2 split no longer exists. Structural only — no behavior change. Verified drain_settled and LoopBackgroundChildPort are referenced nowhere else in crates/ or tests/ (word-boundary grep), and cargo test -p ironclaw_agent_loop --no-fail-fast is green (565 tests, 0 failed).

…nsition Delivering a settled dependency's result to its dependent is three durable facts, not one, and a crash can land between any two of them. Give the kernel dependency state machine the three in-flight states that sit between `Settled` and closure — `ResultAppended`, `AttentionScheduled`, `AttentionDeferred` — plus one expected-state compare-and-swap (`ProcessDependencyPort::transition_process_dependency`) that advances the state column only when it still holds the state the caller expects, so a half-applied step can be replayed without double-applying the next one. The names stay kernel-neutral: the state column says what happened to the edge, not which product feature produced it. Keeping all three on the column (rather than one of them in metadata) keeps any projection over these rows a total function of the state column. Inert surface: nothing outside the contract tests calls the new operation or writes the new states in this slice. Persistence notes: - The enum is serialized verbatim into journal rows with no tolerant-reader fallback, so the four historical spellings are pinned by a test and the three new ones are pinned as durable format too. - `ProcessDependencyRecord` gains `transitioned_at`, `#[serde(default)]` and skipped when absent, so historical rows still decode. - All three new states are in-flight: the persisted `closed` index and both query predicates derive closedness from `Consumed | Abandoned` alone, so the new states index as open and stay visible to the host recovery scan — asserted through the real index, not just the in-memory filter. The loop-tier await-edge projection had an exhaustive match over the enum; its three new arms fold onto `AwaitEdgeState::Settled` (marked `ponytail:`) until the slice that walks the delivery chain gives it real arms.

…at releases the reservation Two holes in the delivery state machine added by the previous commit, both found in self-review and both closed here. The expected-state CAS could write `Consumed`/`Abandoned` into the state column. It writes that column and nothing else, so that was a second door to a terminal state that skipped `release_dependency_reservation` — precisely the compensating dual write this crate's AGENTS.md forbids, and it would have leaked one descendant slot per closed edge forever. Both terminal targets are now refused up front, before the record lookup and before any mutation, with a reason naming the operation that closes the edge and releases the reservation in the same journal command. Refusing before the expected-state check keeps the answer deterministic: reaching for the wrong door gets the same error whatever the stored state is. `consume_process_dependency` required exactly `Settled`, which made `AttentionScheduled` a state an edge could enter and never leave. It now accepts `Settled | AttentionScheduled`, and deliberately no further: `ResultAppended` has no attention recorded yet, and `AttentionDeferred` is parked on purpose so an unclosed-query sweep can still find it. Closing either would strand the dependent with a result it never looks at. Abandon is unchanged — a parent that gives up mid-delivery must still return tree capacity from any non-terminal state. The state machine is now closed under its own rules: every state the CAS can reach has an exit, and every path to a terminal state releases the reservation atomically. The wrong-expected-state test targeted `Consumed`, which the new guard makes unconditionally illegal; it would have started passing for the wrong reason, so it now targets a legal state and still tests only the expectation mismatch. Still inert: nothing outside the contract tests calls the transition operation or writes a delivery substate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Task 4 added three in-flight delivery states to the kernel's `ProcessDependencyState` and left `AwaitEdgeStore::edge_from_record` collapsing all of them onto `AwaitEdgeState::Settled` behind a `ponytail:` marker, because the loop-tier enum had no arms for them. Give it the arms and retire the marker. - `AwaitEdgeState` gains `ResultAppended`, `AttentionScheduled`, and `AttentionDeferredStreakCap`. The kernel's `AttentionDeferred` stays domain-neutral; the loop tier is the layer that knows what a streak cap is, so the names differ on purpose. - `AwaitEdge` gains `appended_message_ref` and `attention_outcome`, both optional and skipped when absent, plus the `AttentionOutcome` enum. - Three store methods walk the chain over the kernel's expected-state CAS: `record_result_appended` (Settled -> ResultAppended, carrying the parent-thread message ref), `record_attention` (-> AttentionScheduled), and `defer_streak_capped` (-> AttentionDeferred). Their metadata is *merged* into the record's blob, which is the serialized edge itself. - `close` consumes only `Settled | AttentionScheduled` — the two states the kernel will close — and leaves the in-flight ones parked, matching the journal's refusal to strand an undelivered result. Closing still goes through `consume`, never the state-column CAS. - `reservation_release` is unchanged: `Released` for `Consumed | Abandoned` only. All three new states are in flight and stay `Unclaimed`. The projection matches remain exhaustive with no wildcard — that exhaustiveness is what surfaced this site in the first place. Boot recovery gains explicit no-op arms with a `ponytail:` naming the sweep that lands with the producer; nothing outside tests writes these states in this slice.

…pend `record_attention` targets `AttentionScheduled` with `ResultAppended` as its expected state, so scheduling attention before the child's result is durably appended is refused by the kernel's expected-state CAS. Nothing pinned that ordering: widening `record_attention`'s expected state to `Settled` left the whole suite green except the lifecycle walk, which failed for the unrelated reason that its second step no longer matched. Pin it directly — the refusal surfaces as an error carrying the kernel's cause, and the refused transition leaves the edge exactly where it was. Covers `AttentionOutcome::Activated`, which the lifecycle walk does not reach. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`AttentionDeferredStreakCap` was a dead end. `record_attention` hard-coded `ResultAppended` as its expected state and the kernel's `consume` takes only `Settled | AttentionScheduled`, so a parked edge had no forward path and no closing path — it could only be abandoned. That contradicts design §4.1/§4.2, where a streak-capped edge stays unclosed "until a permitted or human-initiated run start drains it": draining *is* scheduling attention. `record_attention` now advances from either legal predecessor. The kernel CAS takes one expected state, so the store reads which of the two the edge stands on and hands that observation back as the expectation. The guard is intact: the expectation is still asserted against stored state inside the journal command, so a concurrent writer that moved the row in between makes this write lose. An edge on neither legal predecessor falls through to `ResultAppended` and is refused by that same check — this is a two-element legal set, not "advance from anywhere", and the kernel CAS contract is unchanged. Tests: the deferred branch is now proven closeable end to end — parked, `close` a no-op while parked, drained forward by attention (keeping the already-appended message ref), then consumed with no dependency left unresolved. Also pinned that replaying attention keeps the first outcome. `the_delivery_chain_refuses_to_skip_the_append` from 9b8071d was written to catch a naive widening of this expected state to `Settled`; it stays green before and after this change, which is the evidence that one specific door opened rather than the guard loosening. A near-identical refusal test I had written separately was dropped in favour of that pin, with its one extra assertion folded in. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… the real production blob edge_from_record's fallback branch hardcoded appended_message_ref: None and attention_outcome: None, on the assumption that the fallback (AwaitedChildSetRecord) shape was a legacy path. It is not: subagent_spawn_port.rs is the sole production writer of dependency metadata and it always writes that shape, so from_value::<AwaitEdge> always fails against real data and the fallback always fires. The delivery-chain CAS merges appended_message_ref/attention_outcome into that same blob as sibling top-level keys (additive merge, never a replace), so the durable blob carries both fields — the fallback just never read them back, discarding them on every projection and breaking the documented replay-safety of record_result_appended/record_attention against real production data. Existing tests missed this because settled_background_edge opened its fixture dependency with a full AwaitEdge-shaped blob (serde_json::to_value(&edge)), which production never writes and which takes the primary parse branch instead of the fallback. Switched that fixture (and legacy_edge_metadata_fallback_and_malformed_metadata_fail_closed, via a new shared awaited_child_set_record() helper) to the real AwaitedChildSetRecord shape, which is what exposed the bug: four tests went red with the fallback hardcoded to None, confirming the finding. Also: renamed record_attention's shadowed `outcome` local to `outcome_value`, and corrected two module-doc clauses in mod.rs — abandon reaches any non-terminal state (the kernel's close-dependency guard only gates consume), and AttentionDeferredStreakCap is not consumable from here but is still abandonable.

Adds `SessionThreadService::accept_subagent_result` — the durable door a background child's framed result enters the *parent's* thread through, exactly once across a crash-and-replay. - The row is `MessageKind::System` / `MessageStatus::Finalized`, never `MessageKind::User`: a child's output is untrusted agent text, not a human instruction on the steering contract. - Dedupe reuses the ONE existing acceptance index — the flat SHA-256 of `(scope, source_binding_id, external_event_id)` that `accept_inbound_message` already writes — rather than adding a second one. Both halves of the identity arrive as caller-supplied strings; this crate cannot see run identity (no `ironclaw_processes` edge) and derives nothing. - Two-phase claim on backends without transactions: the idempotency record is written before the row, so a crash in between leaves a durable recovery intent and the retry resumes the SAME message id instead of appending the result twice. A retry whose payload disagrees with the claim fails closed on a content-free fingerprint. - `IdempotencyState` is the former `InboundIdempotencyState` made generic in the accepted-reply shape so both doors share one classification; the large `Pending` payload is boxed. The trait method carries a fail-closed default (house convention, #7752), so the 11 test doubles stay at zero diff — and the `Arc<S>` blanket forward is added, because a forgotten forward inherits that default silently. Both production backends implement it for real. Nothing calls it: this slice lands inert surface only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Recon against live code found four categories of false or stale claims in the canonical subagent design record: an overclaimed in-memory queue with no compat concern (production is filesystem-backed and deserializes the queue document whole), an overclaimed GateResolved precedent (zero producers, treated as a barrier — SubagentSettled is the first host-side settlement input), four wrong file paths/scopes in the Part II task list, and two undocumented decisions (three kernel substates instead of two, and the 2a/2b/2c slice split). Also marks the inert surface slice 2a already shipped and records two open items found during 2a and left for 2b. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… unknown thread A child's framed result may only land in a thread that already exists under the caller's scope. The door must not conjure a thread — and because it claims the acceptance identity BEFORE the row on backends without transactions, a rejected acceptance must not burn the identity: the retry has to be rejected again rather than come back reporting an idempotent replay of a row that was never written. Covers both production backends behind `Arc<dyn SessionThreadService>`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… date Task 5's Files bullet still named only ResultAppended and AttentionDeferred for ProcessDependencyState, contradicting D12 (added in the same prior commit) which records the deliberate three-variant decision. Name all three and point at D12. Also bump the "Last verified against code" date to 2026-08-21 to match the latest verification pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ject `subagent_result_into_an_unknown_thread_fails_closed` documents a non-transactional-backend property it never reaches: both backends it runs on either commit the identity claim with the row or never write one, so neither enters the state the comment describes. Refusing `BeginTxn` forces the two-phase fallback. The recorded backend traffic confirms the window is real — claim `WriteFile` lands at the idempotency path, then the thread `ReadFile` misses — leaving a durable claim pointing at a row that will never exist. The retry must still be rejected: an orphan claim must never be mistaken for a committed row and replayed back as an accepted result. The property is defended twice (the classifier verifies the thread before reading the message, and a missing row resumes rather than replays), so the test only goes red when both guards are removed — verified by mutation, with the two pre-existing unknown-thread cases staying green throughout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…eptance doors `accept_subagent_result`'s `TransactionalMessageWrite::Unsupported` arm was a second copy of `accept_inbound_message_with_replay_metadata`'s: the same `CasExpectation::Absent` claim before the row, the same `VersionMismatch` re-classify-and-resume recovery, the same `reserve_sequence` -> `write_new_message` -> resume-race read. Only the classifier, the reply shape, and the diagnostic strings differed — and the two had already drifted apart on day one. Lifts that arm into `write_new_message_claiming_identity_first`, parameterized by a `FallbackAppend` describing where the row lands and which identity claim guards it, plus the door's `classify` closure returning `IdempotencyState<T>`. Both doors now call it. The crash window that stops a message being appended twice is closed in exactly one place, so a fix to it can no longer reach only whichever copy a bug report names. No behavior change on any covered path: - The inbound resume-race read moves from `accepted_message_from_idempotency_path` to `idempotency_record_from_path` + `classify`. Both yield `Accepted` under exactly the same condition (the row exists and the actor matches); every other outcome falls through to the original write error as before. - The subagent resume-race read moves from a bare `read_message_versioned` to the same `classify_subagent_idempotency_record` the rest of that function already uses, which additionally rejects a thread mismatch or a non-system row. Identical on the happy path, strictly fail-closed on the mismatch. - Claim-conflict diagnostics are now built from the door's write label. Regression net (all green, unchanged): `filesystem_fallback_idempotency_failure_precedes_message_persistence`, `filesystem_fallback_resumes_intent_with_original_model_after_message_failure`, `filesystem_fallback_accept_concurrent_duplicate_replays_existing_message`, `filesystem_transactional_accept_concurrent_duplicate_replays_existing_message`. Drops the `ponytail:` marker that named this duplication as accepted debt — the debt is paid, and a marker for debt that no longer exists is its own defect.

`("", "")` hashes to a perfectly valid dedupe-record key. A producer that
forgot to populate `external_event_id` would therefore collapse every child of
every parent onto one row and get `idempotent_replay: true` back for all of
them — a fail-OPEN shape in the one door whose entire job is fail-closed
dedupe, and one that looks like success at every call site.
Both halves are now validated (non-empty after trim) before the identity is
hashed, on both backends, via one `validate_subagent_acceptance_identity`
beside the existing `validate_attachment_refs`. Rejection is typed:
`SessionThreadError::InvalidSubagentResult` — a caller error, following
`InvalidPreparedContext`, never `Backend`.
Also pins two promises that had no in-tree proof:
- `a_backend_without_the_door_fails_closed` drives the trait's fail-closed
default through a backend that implements every REQUIRED method and
overrides nothing else — the exact shape of the 11 test doubles this slice
left at zero diff. Without it the default's correctness rested on
uncommitted mutation evidence.
- `filesystem_fallback_unknown_thread_claim_is_not_replayed_as_accepted` now
asserts the burned identity HEALS once its thread exists. The rejection
assertions alone were not load-bearing: an orphan claim read as a committed
row still surfaces `UnknownThread` on the retry from a later stage, so the
test passed against that exact bug. Verified by mutation — making a
row-less claim classify as `Accepted` now fails this test.

43ef011 added SessionThreadError::InvalidSubagentResult but left the exhaustive match arm in map_thread_error uncommitted, so the branch did not build. Verified both ways: without this arm cargo check -p ironclaw_assistant fails with E0004 non-exhaustive patterns; with it the crate builds clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`apply_transition_dependency` refuses to let the state-column CAS close a dependency edge, because closing and releasing the descendant reservation are one journal command (crate AGENTS.md:40). The refusal matched `Consumed` and `Abandoned` and swept everything else into a `_ => None` wildcard. That wildcard is fail-open on an enum this branch just proved gains variants (it gained three). A future terminal variant would fall through it, get written by the CAS, and permanently leak the descendant reservation slot: rows.rs:1563 indexes the row as closed, `apply_close_dependency` returns early as already-terminal, and nothing ever releases the reservation. Silent, permanent, no compile error. Enumerate the five non-terminal variants instead. Adding a terminal variant now fails to compile in the one file that owns the paired release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The design constraint of the thread-service work is that the subagent-result
door reuses the inbound door's `(scope, source_binding_id, external_event_id)`
index rather than opening a second parallel one. Both `contract.rs` and
`filesystem_service.rs` assert this in prose; no test observed it. Every case
in this suite drove one door at a time, so a refactor giving the subagent door
its own index path would have left all of them green.
Equally untested was the fail-closed collision guard that keeps a user or
steering row from being handed back to a parent as its child's result.
One case per production backend closes both gaps: claim the tuple through
`accept_inbound_message`, then offer the same tuple to `accept_subagent_result`
and require a `Backend` error naming the non-system row, with the thread still
holding exactly the one user row.
Proven non-vacuous by weakening each half in turn, both backends:
- delete the `kind != System` guard -> both new cases fail, returning the
user row as `AcceptedSubagentResult { idempotent_replay: true }`;
- namespace the subagent door's index key -> both new cases fail, minting a
second row at sequence 2.
In both weakenings the other 13 cases in the file stayed green, which is the
coverage gap this commit closes.

`historical_loop_input_forms_still_deserialize` pinned 4 of the 7 variants, leaving `interrupt`, `cancel`, and `capability_surface_changed` unguarded. `LoopInput` is serialized whole into the durable run-queue document, where one unparseable entry corrupts an entire run's queue rather than one message, so a half-pinned tag set is the gap the test exists to close. Verified non-vacuous: renaming `Interrupt`'s field on the wire turns the test red with `missing field 'interrupt_kind'`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

dba5f41 fixed only the ironclaw_assistant match site because it was verified with 'cargo check -p ironclaw_assistant' rather than at workspace scope. tools/ironclaw_stress is a workspace member and its thread_failure match is exhaustive with no wildcard, so the workspace still failed to build with E0004. Verified this time at the right scope: 'cargo check --workspace --all-targets' now reports 0 errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ain caller `consume_drainable_inputs` is a pure function: it classifies inputs and advances the cursor, and that is all a test at that level can see. The sequence a settled subagent result actually depends on lives one layer up in `InputStage::process` — write the `BeforeModel` checkpoint of the advanced cursor, and only then ack, because the ack is what flips the queued transcript row to `Submitted` and makes it model-visible. Drive `[SubagentSettled, GateResolved]` through `InputStage::process` in both user-facing drain modes and pin both halves: the settled input advances the cursor, checkpoints it, and is the only token acked; the gate is a barrier that stops the drain with its own ack token untouched.

Both doc comments in the acceptance suite and twenty citations added to the design record pinned cross-crate call sites by absolute line number. Nothing fails when those drift, and three of the six numbers in the steering-ladder comment already resolve to unrelated code — two of them to a bare `}` — inside the branch that wrote them. Cite the symbols instead: `ensure_user_accepted`, `is_model_visible`, `MAX_QUEUED_INPUTS_PER_RUN`, `is_settled`, `flip_submitted`. They were already in the prose, so nothing is lost and the citations survive a refactor. Five design-record citations named no symbol and were given one, each resolved against the tree first. The two pre-existing line citations are left alone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Two review findings on `FramedSubagentText`. `#[serde(transparent)]` removed. The filed security concern does not apply — the type derives `Serialize` only, so there is no wire construction path to bypass `frame()`, and `.claude/rules/types.md` aims that flag at `transparent` + derived `Deserialize`. But the attribute is dead weight: the type's one serializer is `subagent_acceptance_fingerprint`, and serde_json emits a plain newtype struct as its inner value, so the persisted fingerprint bytes are unchanged (verified with a throwaway equality test). It also leaves a trap for whoever later adds `Deserialize`. Gone, and named in the doc comment alongside the other deliberate absences. Neutralization stays one-way. The second finding read the framed value as the only copy of the child's output; it is a derived copy in the *parent's* thread. The child's verbatim text is a finalized assistant row in the child's own thread — `child_terminal_output` reads it back to build this one — and nothing on the settle path deletes or redacts it (`delete_thread` has no production callers). "LLM data is never deleted" governs the row, not every projection of it; the sibling `sanitize_untrusted_terminal_reason` already truncates the same text to 512 bytes. A reversible escape would buy retention already guaranteed at the source while handing an injected child escape syntax to reason about from inside the delimiters. The doc comment now says so.

…nd and final state checkpoint_kinds() only proves a BeforeModel checkpoint happened; the final in-memory cursor only proves the executor's own state advanced. Neither proves what cursor value the checkpoint payload actually carried, so a regression that persists a stale cursor and only later advances the in-memory one would still pass. Decode the staged BeforeModel payload (MockHost already captures it via staged_payloads()) and assert its cursor directly, in both drain modes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The acceptance-protocol refactor appears behavior-preserving, and the new persisted variants have no live runtime producers in this slice. No production-breaking issues found.
Checks: cargo fmt --all -- --check passed; targeted Rust tests could not link because cc was unavailable; focused static review completed, and GitHub CI had no failures observed (some checks still running).

Slice 2a refactors the live accept_inbound_message path onto the shared write_new_message_claiming_identity_first helper and adds the (currently inert) accept_subagent_result door plus kernel delivery substates. Traced the live surfaces against the original inline logic and they preserve existing behavior; the new delivery states/CAS transition have no runtime producer yet.
accept_inbound_messagerefactor (shared claim helper): claim-put → VersionMismatch → classify → Accepted/Pending resume is equivalent to the old inline path;replay_metadata/idempotent_replaypropagation and idempotency key bytes are unchanged.- Kernel consume/abandon: the
legal_predecessorsguard reproduces prior Open/Settled behavior (is_closed()== oldmatches!(Consumed|Abandoned)); new substates are inert. - agent-loop drain /
post_capability: only add inertSubagentSettledarms and remove deaddrain_settled.
Non-blocking follow-ups (all verified inert or pre-existing, not merge-blocking): a wasted-sequence-number reservation already present on the inbound path (no data loss/dup, ordering unaffected) and a stale doc §4.1 reference.
Checks: cargo fmt --all --check and git diff --check clean; ironclaw_loop_contracts 151 passed (incl. LoopInput snake_case + historical wire-tag pins); subagent_result_acceptance 23 passed (both backends); ironclaw_threads inbound-fallback/idempotency regressions 3 passed; process_journal_store_contract 67 passed (CAS + consume/abandon on libSQL and Postgres); CI green with two affected-crate buckets still pending at last refresh.

The merge combined main's composition growth (notification inbox #7697, subagent slice #7788) with this branch's curation wiring; the two ceilings merged textually without a git conflict while the sum exceeded both — the gate caught exactly the case it exists for. Ceiling and the mirrored COMPOSITION_ABSOLUTE_SRC_LOC move together to the measured 42479, dated rationale in the toml. No composition code changes here.

… activation, healing sweeps (slices 2b+2c) (nearai#7818) * feat(loop-host): spawn codec and schema accept background mode Task 1 of the background-subagents slice: the spawn-args wire codec now decodes mode: "background" (and the legacy run_in_background: true flag, treated as an alias) instead of rejecting it, and the generated tool schema advertises the mode property. A contradictory mode: "blocking" + run_in_background: true pair is rejected as a model-correctable InvalidInvocation naming the conflict. finish_spawn still hardcodes SpawnSubagentMode::Blocking pending Task 2, which consumes args.mode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(loop-host): background spawn returns an immediate receipt Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(threads): submitted flip returns a terminal row unchanged Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(turn-runner): close refuses an edge holding an undelivered result Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(loop-host): bind_input_enqueue on the settler seam Add AwaitEdgeSettler::bind_input_enqueue (mirroring bind_result_writer's deferred-binding pattern) so the background-mode delivery tail landing in Task 5 can later enqueue a settled child's result as steering input for a live parent run. Wires the resolver's OnceLock field, the inherent and trait-impl bind methods, and the composition-side bind call right after host_input_queue is built. No AwaitEdgeSettler double exists outside the resolver (rg -n "impl AwaitEdgeSettler" crates/ tests/), so there is no second implementor to update. Structural only: no behavior change — the bound port has no caller yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(turn-runner): background results append and enqueue per child Adds AwaitEdgeResolver::deliver_background, the settle_and_maybe_drain branch that routes SpawnSubagentMode::Background edges to it instead of drain_settled_group (blocking mode is unchanged), and the resolver's production HostInputEnqueuePort/LoopInput imports. deliver_background walks the delivery chain end to end: 1. Append (idempotent): frame the child's final text (or failure summary) with FramedSubagentText::frame, accept it onto the parent thread via SessionThreadService::accept_subagent_result, and record the resulting message ref with AwaitEdgeStore::record_result_appended. A re-peeked edge that already carries appended_message_ref reuses it instead of accepting a second row (accept_subagent_result's own idempotency covers a mid-step crash). 2. Attend: query AgentTurnSpawnTreeRuntimePort::recent_runs_for_thread for the parent's newest run; a live, non-terminal record gets the settled result enqueued as LoopInput::SubagentSettled through the bound HostInputEnqueuePort, then AwaitEdgeStore::record_attention. No live run, an unbound port, or the enqueue itself refusing with RunClosed/CapacityExhausted/Disabled all leave the edge parked in ResultAppended and return Ok(Drained) rather than erroring — Task 6 (2c) adds the parked-parent activation path. 3. Close only from AttentionScheduled, via AwaitEdgeStore::close. Turn-runner runtime wiring (crates/loop/ironclaw_turn_runner/src/runtime.rs) is deliberately NOT touched: parts.input_queue there is Option<Arc<dyn HostInputQueue>> (the drain-reader half only), which does not implement HostInputEnqueuePort, so there is no enqueue-capable handle to bind. The resolver treats that unbound state as "no live queue" (the same ResultAppended fall-through), not an error — composition's bind_input_enqueue call (previous commit) covers the production path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(turn-runner): parked parents are activated with system provenance Task 6 (2c): replaces deliver_background's "parked-parent activation lands here" fall-through with a real activate_parked_parent branch. When a background child settles and its parent has no live run (or the live-run enqueue itself refuses), the resolver now wakes the parent through TurnCoordinator::activate with ActivationProvenance::System, preserving the parent's own run profile id. A streak-cap refusal parks the edge at AttentionDeferredStreakCap (unclosed, excluded from autonomous retry); any other activation refusal (ThreadBusy, transient Unavailable, ...) leaves the edge at ResultAppended for the next drive to re-attend. Re-drive entry now special-cases AttentionScheduled (close only) and AttentionDeferredStreakCap (no-op) so a crash between activation and close never triggers a second activate() call. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(turn-runner): move the await-edge resolver tests into their own file Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(processes): keyset paging on the dependency query ProcessDependencyQuery gains after/limit fields (keyset cursor over the existing canonical (dependent_process_id, dependency_process_id) sort key). Both None reproduces the pre-existing unbounded query byte-for-byte; a bounded request walks a new process_dependency_canonical_v1 index directly, applying filters before the cursor/limit bound, so a bounded read stops once it collects `limit` matching rows instead of draining the whole scope. Adds the plumbing the run-start sweep needs without wiring it up yet: AwaitEdgeSettler::sweep_thread_on_run_start (trait method + a real resolver implementation, unreached by any production caller), AwaitEdgeStore::list_background_for_thread, and a required await_edge_settler field on RebornTurnRunExecutor (constructed everywhere, not yet invoked from execute_claimed_run). No behavior change for any existing caller. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(turn-runner): run-start and boot sweeps heal background delivery RebornTurnRunExecutor now calls AwaitEdgeSettler::sweep_thread_on_run_start before invoke_driver on every claimed run, deriving human_initiated from the claimed run's subagent_activation_provenance (absent/Human is permitted; System/ParentAgent is not). The resolver's sweep walks the thread's background dependency edges (bounded at MAX_QUEUED_INPUTS_PER_RUN) and drives each through deliver_background's existing idempotent re-drive: Settled/ResultAppended/AttentionScheduled redeliver or close; AttentionDeferredStreakCap drains forward only when human_initiated permits it (deliver_background gains a retry_deferred parameter for this one caller — the reactive settle path keeps its autonomous no-retry default). A sweep failure is logged and never fails the run start. boot_recovery's recover_scope replaces its ponytail no-op arms for the background delivery substates: Settled(background)/ResultAppended deliver through deliver_background (parked-parent activation included, System provenance); AttentionScheduled closes only; a streak-capped edge stays parked for a later permitted/human start. Blocking-mode Settled keeps its pre-existing drain_settled_group path unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(integration): background delivery scenarios Extend tests/integration/subagent_await_edge.rs with five scenarios composing real DefaultTurnCoordinator + InMemorySessionThreadService + InMemoryHostInputQueue + AwaitEdgeResolver over a shared in-memory process journal (mirroring resolver/tests.rs's bg_fixture/SweepFixture pattern with production components instead of test doubles): - background_child_result_is_delivered_per_child_while_parent_runs - run_closed_race_is_healed_by_activation - parked_parent_is_activated_with_system_provenance - background_delivery_replay_is_idempotent - streak_capped_result_waits_for_human tests/CLAUDE.md rows added in this same commit per its maintenance rule. coverage-floor.toml: no recapture — this PR adds no production source to any gated crate's denominator (test-only addition to the root integration binary), so the file's own same-PR floor-raise trigger condition does not apply. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): R2 closeout — prompt wording and §9 prune - Spawn capability description (crates/loop/ironclaw_loop_host/prompts/ spawn_subagent_description.md, already a prompts/*.md file loaded via include_str!) gains background-mode wording: receipt semantics, per-child arrival, "do not poll". No Rust change needed — the descriptor already loads the file verbatim. - Repoint every stale §-reference in await_edge/{mod,store,resolver}.rs and await_edge_port.rs doc comments off the deleted thread-harness-design.md onto docs/internal/reborn/subagent-spawn/ README.md's own sections (boot_recovery.rs carries none). store.rs's existing §4.1/§4.2 citations already matched the README's numbering and are left as-is. - README §2.5: fix the stale claim of "two lazy resolver paths (resolver.rs:1709, :1785)" — both were test-module lines; the only production recovery caller is subagent_spawn_port.rs's finish_spawn, confirmed by `rg -n check_scope_recovered`. - README §9: pruned to a one-line "R2 shipped in PR nearai#7788" pointer; promoted R3 (gate escalation walk) into the pending slot per the section's own "pruned when R2 ships" instruction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(threads): scope the D14 finalized no-op to subagent-result rows The D14 guard in `mark_message_submitted` checked `status == Finalized` alone, so every finalized row — `Assistant`, `ToolResultReference`, `CapabilityDisplayPreview` — returned Ok where it previously returned `InvalidMessageTransition`. A caller aiming at the wrong message id was masked instead of failing loud. Subagent-result rows are written `MessageKind::System` by `accept_subagent_result` in both backends, so the guard now requires that kind; every other finalized kind falls through to `ensure_user_accepted` and errors as before. Extends `a_result_row_is_refused_by_the_steering_ladder` with the negative half; it fails on both backends without the narrowing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(processes): fail loud on truncated pages, filter dependent_id in memory Two defects in the bounded dependency query added by this branch. `dependent_id` is the canonical index's sort key, not part of its equality prefix. `ordered_query_prefix_values` requires the filter's equality-key set to equal exactly the keys preceding the sort key (here `lineage_scope_key` alone), so passing `dependent_process_id` as an index-level equality filter made the ordered query Unsupported instead of narrowing it. Latent today — no caller pairs `dependent_process_id: Some(..)` with a `limit` — but armed for the next one. It now filters in memory per page, like `group_ref`/`include_closed`. A full page whose last row yields no cursor now returns Deserialization rather than breaking out with a silent short read, matching the unbounded sibling `query_indexed_collection`. Adds libSQL parity coverage and the previously untested `limit == 0`, `dependent_process_id: Some(..)`, and `include_closed: true` branches; the dependent-filter bug surfaced from that coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): correct §2.1 and finish the §9 closeout §2.1 "What ships today" still described the pre-slice-2b behavior — codec rejects background via `background_subagents_disabled()`, schema hides `mode`, `finish_spawn` hard-codes Blocking — all three now false. §9's closeout sentence was truncated and claimed three slices while naming two. Rewritten against live code, keeping the caveat that `builtin.spawn_subagent` remains in `disabled_capability_ids` and is not model-reachable until R9. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): repoint coverage exemptions after the resolver test move f0c0b65 moved the await-edge resolver tests into their own file, shrinking resolver.rs 2141 -> 1535 lines, but left two line-referenced exemptions pointing at the old offsets. #38 (2032) fell past EOF and failed the changed-coverage manifest validator; #55 (563) still resolved and so silently exempted unrelated code. Both statements verified present in each revision: the background gate-ref arm moved 2032 -> 1427, and handle_child_terminal_inner's return type 563 -> 853. Scope, owner, and rationale are unchanged.

… consumer (nearai#7770 phase 1) (nearai#7765) * feat(memory): periodic memory-curation pass ("dreaming"), first slice (nearai#7276) Memory only ever grew. Writes accumulate, nothing prunes, and the standing document has a byte budget, so redundancy crowds out what matters. No human reads the file, so the decay is invisible. This adds the Hermes-shaped answer: every N completed user turns, the agent runs with no user present, re-reads its standing memory, and tidies it — merging duplicates, resolving superseded facts, tightening wording. Its output is the edits plus a structured report; nothing is sent to anyone. Buildable now because unbound turns landed (nearai#7562/nearai#7634): a run with no conversation and no reply target. The pass is submitted through the same `UnboundTurnService` door OpenAI-compat and subagent spawn already use. Shape. The loop tier owns only the observation ("an ordinary user turn completed, under this scope") and reports it through a port; every policy decision lives in the product tier. The port vocabulary sits in `ironclaw_loop_contracts` rather than the runner because WS1.7 deliberately removed `ironclaw_turn_runner` as a production dependency of `ironclaw_assistant`, and this must not reverse that. The load-bearing guard: an unbound run NEVER triggers curation. A pass is itself unbound, so triggering on unbound completion would let each pass schedule its successor — an unbounded background loop running the model against a user's memory forever. Pinned by test, both unbound profiles. Also fixed along the way: `UnboundTurnSubmission` had no way to declare limits, so it always inherited the profile's 1024-iteration budget and no wall clock. Fine for a user waiting on a panel, wrong for an unwatched background chore — an unconverged pass would burn tokens against a user's memory until that ceiling, and nobody would notice. Added narrowing-only limits (existing callers unchanged, explicitly defaulted) and the pass declares 6 model calls / 12 capability calls / 90s. Safety properties pinned by tests: the pass acts as the owner and never as an operator-config caller; it gets the three memory capabilities and nothing else; its id doubles as the idempotency key so a crash-retry converges on the same pass; a failed submission is swallowed at debug (post-terminal background path — info!/warn! would corrupt the REPL). Concurrency is safe without batch-atomic memory ops: memory writes are compare-and-swap, so a pass racing a live conversation loses the write rather than clobbering it. The failure mode is a lost curation pass, never a lost memory. Not wired into composition yet — no deployment runs this. Wiring, the gate-behavior decision (unbound runs abort on approval gates, so users with auto-approve off need skip-not-abort), and an integration scenario follow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): avoid an extension name in curation comments The extension-specificity gate scans generic code for concrete extension names; "with slack for one retry" tripped it on the English word. Reworded rather than allowlisted — the allowlist is for pre-existing debt, not for new code that can simply say something else. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(memory): move the curation contract into ironclaw_memory Memory vocabulary belongs with the memory contract. "Curation" means nothing outside memory, and the signal exists only to decide whether a user's memory needs tidying — putting it in ironclaw_loop_contracts made the loop-contracts crate carry a memory concept it has no stake in. Both tiers already depend on ironclaw_memory (the runner for after-turn recording, the product tier for the memory service), so this pulls in no new edge; it only puts the type where its domain lives. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): add privileged AfterTurn lifecycle point Adds `HookPointSpec::AfterTurn`, a privileged-only hook point that fires once after a turn's run reaches a terminal state — the seam for work about the turn as a whole rather than about one model call, capability invocation, or checkpoint. - `AfterTurnHookContext` (`points/turn.rs`) carries tenant/user/agent/ project plus a `completed` flag. `user_id` is non-optional and there is deliberately no `unbound` field: the dispatch call site never fires this point for unbound runs, because hook-started background work runs unbound and firing on unbound completion would let each background pass schedule its own successor forever. Observing background runs stays with `EventTriggered` + `LoopCompleted`, which is observer-only. - `PrivilegedAfterTurnHook` takes no sink: an AfterTurn hook may hold its own collaborators and start follow-on work as a side effect. The sealed-return-type law stays scoped to points untrusted tiers can reach. - `install_after_turn` rejects `Installed` and `SelfAuthored` at install time; `install_observer` rejects the point outright. - `dispatch_after_turn` mirrors the observer dispatch shape (ordered snapshot, poison handling, failure policy, telemetry) with a 5s per-hook timeout, and never propagates a hook failure to the caller. - New `DecisionKind::Lifecycle` (three in-crate consumers, all updated): act-capable but fails isolated, since the run it observes is already terminal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(memory): curation rides the AfterTurn hook point, bespoke port deleted nearai#7765 landed memory curation on a bespoke `AfterTurnCurationPort` because no general lifecycle seam existed yet. The `AfterTurn` hook point now exists, so the port is deleted and curation becomes one privileged hook among others. - `ironclaw_memory` sheds `src/curation.rs` entirely: memory carries no hook-framework vocabulary and no bespoke port. - `ironclaw_turn_runner` gains `after_turn_hooks::after_turn_hook_context`, which keeps the two guards centrally so no hook has to remember them: an unbound run never fires the point (hook-started background work runs unbound, so firing on unbound completion would let each pass schedule its own successor forever), and an actorless run never fires it (nothing to attribute follow-on work to). - The executor's `after_turn_curation` field becomes `after_turn_hooks: Option<Arc<HookDispatcher>>` with `with_after_turn_hooks`. The 5s bound survives as an OUTER backstop around the whole dispatch; the dispatcher already bounds each hook. - Semantic widening: the point fires for ANY terminal state of an ordinary actor-bearing run, not just `Completed`. Hooks that only want successes read `ctx.completed` — which `MemoryCurationService` does, first thing, because a failed turn says nothing about whether memory needs tidying and counting it would drift the interval. - `MemoryCurationService` implements `PrivilegedAfterTurnHook`; every policy decision (interval, per-owner counters, pass building, idempotency key) is unchanged. `ironclaw_assistant` takes a normal `ironclaw_hooks` dependency — products→loops, the edge it already has via `ironclaw_loop_host`. - `AfterTurnHookContext::new` added: the struct is `#[non_exhaustive]` and the call site is outside `ironclaw_hooks`, so a struct literal is unavailable. The dispatcher is un-wired (`None`) after this commit; composition follows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(memory): wire curation through composition behind [memory] config Phase 1 of nearai#7770 ends where it should: the `AfterTurn` point has a live consumer. Composition registers the memory-curation hook, so after every Nth completed turn the agent goes off on its own and tidies the user's standing memory document (nearai#7276). - `[memory].curation_interval_turns` (`ironclaw_config`): opt-in, serde-default absent. Absent means the hook is NEVER REGISTERED — disabled is expressed by not wiring, never by a sentinel, so a written `0` is rejected at parse time rather than clamped downstream into "after every turn". Config-only, no env override: that matches `provider`/`admin_overrides`, and only the mem0 connection fields carry an env convention. - `ironclaw_assistant::memory_curation::after_turn_curation_dispatcher` owns the assembly — which hook, at which phase (`Telemetry`: the run is already terminal, so it enforces nothing), under which trust class (`Builtin`), behind the stable `HookId::for_builtin` path. Composition calls it; per AGENTS.md the wiring root does not own module policy. Its own small dispatcher, not the per-run middleware one: `after_turn` fires once per run from a process-lifetime `Arc`. - `DefaultPlannedRuntimeParts::after_turn_hook_dispatcher_factory` is a factory, not a ready dispatcher, because the `UnboundTurnService` the hook submits through is built from the coordinator the same function builds. Handed `AfterTurnHookDeps` once, after those exist; may still decline. - Two conditions gate registration in composition: an operator asked for an interval AND a memory provider resolved. A pass over a document no provider backs would submit a run whose only three tools do not exist. Gate posture (nearai#7770's skip-and-note) is deliberately NOT implemented; a `DECISION nearai#7770:` comment at the submission site records why. No read-only "would this capability gate for this scope" query exists: the answer needs the descriptor's effects and origin-gate matrix, the run's `ApprovalPolicy`, the `TrustDecision`, grants, and leases composed inside `authorize_dispatch_with_trust` at dispatch time, with an origin that does not exist until the run is executing. Approximating it from `ApprovalSettingsProvider::global_auto_approve` alone would duplicate gate composition in a product service. The seam that is actually missing is at the gate strategy: a `GateOutcome` that skips the capability for the model instead of aborting the unbound run. Tests: two group scenarios drive the wired path end to end — the pass's thread id is its idempotency key and therefore deterministic, which is what lets the harness script the background pass's model at all. The positive scenario runs N ordinary turns and asserts the tidied text reaches a LATER conversation's prompt under the same user's own memory lane; the negative asserts an empty pass script below the interval and then corroborates it by crossing the interval one turn later, so "empty" cannot be latency. Both falsified by moving the interval. `with_memory_curation_interval()` on the group builder mirrors production's opt-in exactly; the wiring-parity tripwire and composition mass gate move with the new field. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): review round — per-trigger pass identity, conversation-only triggers, fail-closed install Six review findings on nearai#7765 (epic nearai#7770 phase 1). - **Pass identity was the number of OWNERS, not passes.** The curation pass id was `…-{counters.len()}`, which for one user is forever `1`: every interval after the first reused the same public id and idempotency key, so the unbound accept door REPLAYED the first pass instead of running a new one — the document would be curated exactly once, ever, with nothing surfacing it. `AfterTurnHookContext` now carries `run_id` (the terminal run that fired the point), the runner threads it through, and the pass id is `memory-curation-{tenant}-{user}-{run_id}`: distinct per trigger, and replayed as-is by a crash-retry of the same trigger, with no durable counter. - **Scheduled-trigger fires and subagent children no longer count.** A trusted fire keeps its creator as `TurnActor` and runs a non-unbound profile, so it passed both original guards and could launch a write-capable pass with no user present. The derivation is now an ALLOWLIST of conversation profiles (`reborn-planned-default`, `interactive_default`, `default`); the denylist shape failed open for every profile added later. - **Curation install fails closed.** `AfterTurnHookDispatcherFactory` returns `Result` and the runtime build propagates it as `DefaultPlannedRuntimeBuildError::AfterTurnHooks`. Declining is expressed by supplying no factory, never by a swallowed error that leaves a deployment believing memory is being tidied. - **A zero interval is unrepresentable downstream.** Config already rejected `curation_interval_turns = 0`; `NonZeroU32` now carries through the input builder into `MemoryCurationService`, and the clamp is gone. - **Typed error and typed counter key.** `CurationPassSubmitter::submit_pass` returns `UnboundTurnError`; counters key on a `(TenantId, UserId)` struct. - `// arch-exempt:` on the executor's hook field uses the enforced `plan #NNNN` form. Tests: distinct-vs-converging pass ids; scheduled-trigger and subagent profiles yield no context, planned-default does; the executor actually dispatches at the seam (recording hook over a completed bound run, and never for an unbound one); `accept_and_submit` journals the declared `TurnLimits`. The two curation scenarios script the pass by owner-scoped thread PREFIX — a new test-support `register_scope_script_prefix_for_test` — because a per-run pass id is not knowable before the triggering turn runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): panic-free interval const + QA harness field the sweep missed Two breaks, one class: struct call sites in test bins the local verification set never compiled. - The production panic baseline scans syntactically, so the compile-time `match … unreachable!()` NonZeroU32 constructor counted as a new panic. Replaced with `NonZeroU32::MIN.saturating_add(9)` — const, panic-free, and the comment says why the odd spelling exists. - `reborn_parity_qa/binary_e2e.rs` initializes DefaultPlannedRuntimeParts and needed the new `after_turn_hook_dispatcher_factory` field (None: QA replay drives no lifecycle hooks). Verified with `cargo check --workspace --tests` — the command that covers every bin, which the per-crate verification lists did not. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(filesystem): satisfy the Rust 1.98 chunks_exact_to_as_chunks lint Rust stable 1.98 rolled through CI today and its new clippy lint fails every branch on decode_embedding_blob's chunks_exact. as_chunks is the better code anyway: const chunk size yields [u8; 4] directly, so the per-element indexing disappears. Behavior pinned by the existing vector tests. Not this branch's code — the same fix goes to main in its own PR so every other open branch stops failing too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(lints): complete the Rust 1.98 clippy migration Full-workspace sweep under 1.98 (the toolchain CI now runs), on top of the vector.rs fix already on this branch: - result_large_err: GoogleCredentialError boxes its Recovery projection (one variant, nine sites' worth of warnings); agent_loop's batch error boxes its host error; turn_runner boxes only HostFinalizationFailed's payload — DriverError stays unboxed because five match sites destructure it by pattern, and it is not the oversized member. - chunks_exact_to_as_chunks: the two UTF-16 decoders in coding/text.rs. - useless_format in a trace_commons test. All private types or contained call sites; no public API changes beyond the boxed variant payloads inside their own crates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(lints): last two 1.98 sites — map_or_identity, test-support large errors The tracing-syntax architecture test's map_or(len, |end| end) becomes unwrap_or; db_write_measurement's error enum boxes its DbProbeError payloads (test-support only, ~5 construction sites). Full-workspace clippy --tests under 1.98: clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(hooks): Lifecycle-vs-Effect rationale + amend the side-effect invariant Approach-audit disposition on nearai#7770 (accepted findings ST3/SP3): - trust.rs documents why Lifecycle is not a duplicate of Effect: Effect is permitted for Installed/SelfAuthored by default — the third-party class for post-durable-fact event hooks — while turn completion must not carry that default. Folding them would silently widen who may react to a finished turn. - The hooks contract's side-effect invariant now names mediated prepared-context turn submission as a sanctioned route for Lifecycle hooks, instead of the code silently diverging from a list written before unbound turns existed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): audit round 2 — fail-closed curation gate, per-run hook dispatcher Second approach audit on nearai#7765 (nearai#7770 phase 1). Six accepted findings plus the documentation gaps they exposed. Fail closed on a provider that cannot curate. Composition registered curation whenever an interval was configured and any memory provider resolved, but a pass REPLACES the standing document and a bound third-party provider may reject that write outright — a deployment would spawn passes forever that all fail, with nothing surfacing it. `curation_interval_for_binding` now gates on the resolved binding and turns a configured-but-unservable curation into a startup error naming the provider and how to disable it. Nothing in a manifest declares "supports standing-document replacement" (`[memory].lifecycle` is about read/record hooks), so the gate is the native binding, with the missing declaration named in the comment as the seam for nearai#7664. Hook poison is run-scoped by contract, so the executor now holds a per-run dispatcher FACTORY instead of one process-lifetime dispatcher: a panic or timeout is barred for the run it happened in and retried on the next, instead of disabling curation until restart. The curation SERVICE stays one long-lived instance — its per-owner counters must accumulate across runs — and each fresh dispatcher installs a binding over that same service. Blocked states no longer dispatch. `after_turn_hook_context` requires `TurnStatus::is_terminal()`: a gated-then-resumed turn fired the point twice, once while still running. Also: tier-specific `install_builtin_after_turn` / `install_trusted_after_turn` replace the trust-class-parameterized installer (an invalid tier is now unrepresentable, not rejected at runtime); the executor's outer dispatch bound moves 5s -> 30s so it can never preempt the dispatcher's own per-hook timeout classification; the unused default-interval constant is deleted and its "ten matches Hermes" rationale moved to the config field a deployer reads; the hooks consumer inventory gains `ironclaw_assistant`; and `points/turn.rs` now states plainly that the point fires only for exits the executor applies — scheduler failure terminalization does not dispatch it, tracked as a follow-up on nearai#7770. Composition budget 42198 -> 42316 (both records, dated): +7 wiring, +109 for the fail-closed gate and its tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): enforce the after_turn tier gate in the registry, and close the review gaps CodeRabbit round three on nearai#7765. `HookRegistry::insert` now refuses `Installed` / `SelfAuthored` bindings at `HookPointSpec::AfterTurn`, alongside the phase-vs-trust gate it already carries. The tier-split installers encoded the restriction, but raw bindings reach the registry through `from_bindings` and the public builder's `insert_binding`, which bypass them — the point is act-capable, so an untrusted binding there would surface as a malformed binding mid-dispatch instead of an install-time refusal. The dispatcher's per-hook `after_turn` budget becomes injectable (`HookDispatcherBuilder::with_after_turn_timeout`, defaulting to `AFTER_TURN_HOOK_TIMEOUT`), which is what makes the timeout-race regression affordable: the executor-seam test wedges one hook against a millisecond budget and proves the hook ordered after it still runs, that the wedged one is recorded as a Timeout failure, and that the already-terminal run is unaffected. That asymmetry — outer backstop strictly larger than per-hook budget times hook count — was fixed earlier but never pinned. Executor-seam coverage also gains the two non-success terminal states: a FAILED and a CANCELLED conversation run each dispatch exactly once with `ctx.completed == false`. The below-threshold curation scenario no longer rests on a single empty reading, which a queued-but-unstarted pass would also produce. After crossing the interval it now requires EXACTLY ONE pass — one pass's worth of model calls and no more — which is what makes the earlier zero real rather than latency. The group harness mirrors production's two-part activation gate: curation wires only when an interval AND a bound memory provider are present, not from the interval alone. Version claims in two comments are reworded to name the lint rather than a toolchain release nobody can verify offline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(composition): re-measure the mass budget after the main merge The merge combined main's composition growth (notification inbox nearai#7697, subagent slice nearai#7788) with this branch's curation wiring; the two ceilings merged textually without a git conflict while the sum exceeded both — the gate caught exactly the case it exists for. Ceiling and the mirrored COMPOSITION_ABSOLUTE_SRC_LOC move together to the measured 42479, dated rationale in the toml. No composition code changes here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): give the curation pass report headroom — live-test finding The 2026-08-21 live test (DeepSeek-V4-Flash, isolated home, interval 2) proved the machinery end to end — the pass fired exactly once, acted as the user, consolidated two wordings of one fact into a correct merged line, and read its own write back to verify — and then terminated `Failed { model_call_limit }` before emitting its structured report. A real model spends calls a scripted one does not: three writes where the prompt asks for one, plus a fumbled read. Two changes, both evidence-backed: - MEMORY_CURATION_MAX_ITERATIONS 6 -> 10. The ceiling still hard-stops an unconverged pass; it now leaves room for the report after ordinary real-model imperfection. - The prompt's Finishing section states the budget and the exact sequence (read -> at most one write -> result tool), and says plainly that a pass dying unreported is worse than a pass changing nothing. The scripted integration scenario hands the model exactly three replies and structurally cannot see this failure mode; the constants comment records the live evidence so the next tuner knows where 10 came from. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(extension-contracts): declare [[memory.scheduled_ops]] — pass ops, trust-gated, cost-floored A memory provider can now declare its own recurring upkeep in its manifest instead of the host hardcoding which provider gets which background work. The provider names the work and the cadence; the host keeps the clock, the invocation envelope, and the authority. [[memory.scheduled_ops]] trigger = "after_turn" interval_turns = 10 pass = { prompt = "prompts/memory_curation.md", tools = ["ironclaw.memory.read", "ironclaw.memory.write"], max_model_calls = 10 } Contracts tier only — nothing dispatches or invokes these yet. `MemoryScheduledTrigger` is a closed host-owned vocabulary with exactly one v0 entry; an unrecognized token fails the parse rather than being dropped, because a silently ignored trigger presents as a provider whose declared upkeep simply never runs. `MemoryScheduledOpKind` is tagged by which key the entry declares, and `tool = "..."` is RECOGNIZED and REJECTED with its own message rather than falling through to an unknown-field error, so a manifest written against the eventual schema fails with intent. Both keys or neither are errors too. The wire shape and the parsed shape are separate types, so `MemoryScheduledOp` cannot be built from a manifest without clearing every per-op rule. Three bounds, each with its reason in a doc comment and a test: - `interval_turns >= 2` (`MIN_SCHEDULED_OP_INTERVAL_TURNS`) — a manifest declares work that runs on someone else's deployment at their expense, so it must not be able to demand per-turn invocation. `NonZeroU32` makes "every 0 turns" unrepresentable before the floor even applies. - `pass.max_model_calls <= 16` (`MAX_SCHEDULED_PASS_MODEL_CALLS`) — a pass is unwatched background spend with nobody reading the transcript. The nearai#7770 live test put the realistic curation need at 10. - At most one op per trigger — the host holds one interval counter per trigger per owner, so a second op has no well-defined cadence. Two rules need the whole manifest and land in `ironclaw_extension_registry::v3::validate_memory_scheduled_ops`, beside the existing `[admin_configuration]` cross-check and for the same reason — only that layer sees `[[tools]]` and the requested trust class next to `[memory]`: - A pass's `tools` must be ids the SAME manifest declares. Declaration is selection, never authority: a memory provider must not schedule passes wielding another extension's tools. - Only a first-party/system manifest may declare a pass op at all. A pass is a manifest-authored prompt running with write tools, as every user, on a schedule — a strictly larger grant than a model-chosen tool call, so it gets the same default-deny wall as the after-turn hook tiers. Host-bundled alone is not enough, pinned by a test that refuses a third-party-trust manifest from a host-bundled source. `scheduled_ops` is serde-defaulted and empty when absent, so every manifest written before it existed parses unchanged and schedules nothing (`memory_manifest_without_scheduled_ops_still_parses`, `scheduled_ops_absent_in_an_older_manifest_means_none`). `pass.prompt` reuses `guidance_doc`'s validated bundled-asset ref type; asset RESOLUTION stays host-side and fail-closed. The §11.2.3 contracts size ceiling moves 10_841 -> 11_451 for the declaration family and its inline tests, count read from the ratchet's own failure message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(memory): scheduled ops drive curation — native declares its pass, opt-in stays The declaration replaces the hardwired layer (nearai#7664 addendum v2): - memory-native's manifest declares its curation as `[[memory.scheduled_ops]]` (after_turn, recommended cadence 10, pass over its own three memory tools, max_model_calls 10 — the live-test calibration). The curation prompt moves into the package beside the guidance doc, exported through the same asset table, resolved host-side fail-closed. - `MemoryCurationService` dies; `MemoryScheduledOpRunner` is built FROM the resolved declaration (prompt text, tool ids, model-call ceiling), keeping the policy that was already pinned: per-owner counters, completed-only counting, the `memory-curation-` pass-id prefix as contract, the submitter seam, debug-only failure swallowing. The tool-op arm is unreachable-by-construction (leg A parse-rejects it) and says so explicitly. - Composition's native-only gate arm dies: the gate is now "did the bound provider declare an op" — a configured interval against a provider that declares nothing stays a startup error naming the provider. OPT-IN preserved (owner decision, 2026-08-22): the declaration ARMS upkeep — validated shape, resolved prompt, recommended cadence — and `[memory].curation_interval_turns` ENABLES it. Omitted = nothing runs, exactly as before this change; a manifest cannot switch on background token spend for a deployment that never asked. The config floor (>= 2) is now enforced at parse, where the operator can read why. Leg B built by a subagent (session-limited mid-flight), completed and re-verified from the worktree; opt-in flip + config validation + marker resolution by the orchestrator. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): the curation prompt demands an explicit append:false — live-test v2 finding The declared-op live re-test (2026-08-23, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, fresh isolated home): the pass reached its structured report — the model_call_limit death from the first live test is fixed — but the model's FIRST write omitted append:false, transiently duplicating the document before it self-corrected with a proper replace two calls later. The prompt asked for one write; it never said which KIND. Now it does, with the consequence spelled out.

…tance protocol (nearai#7788) * feat(loop-contracts): typed subagent-settled loop input Add LoopInput::SubagentSettled { child_run_id: TurnRunId, message_ref: LoopMessageRef } — refs only, no child content (D4). Inert surface: nothing constructs this variant outside tests in this slice; Task 2 wires production use. Widened the existing ironclaw_host_api::turn import in input.rs to include TurnRunId rather than adding a second import path. cargo check --workspace after adding the variant reported exactly one non-exhaustive-match site: crates/loop/ironclaw_agent_loop/src/executor/input.rs:188 (consume_drainable_inputs). Added SubagentSettled to that barrier arm (break, same as GateResolved/CapabilitySurfaceChanged) as a deliberately temporary placement — Task 2 moves it into the drainable arms. Establishes the first serde tests for LoopInput: a round-trip test pinning the snake_case tag, and a historical-wire-forms test guarding the durable run-queue document (durable_input_queue.rs:109), where a parse failure corrupts the whole queue rather than one entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(agent-loop): drain subagent-settled inputs steering-like SubagentSettled now drains like UserMessage/Steering in the Steering mode and additionally in FollowUp mode, matching the rationale already documented for Steering-during-final-call. Removing it from the control-barrier arm required adding it to the exhaustive match's drainable-variant arm in consume_drainable_inputs so the match stays exhaustive (that arm is unreachable at runtime for it since both drain modes now catch it first). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(agent-loop): correct reachability comment for the drain fall-through match The prior comment claimed FollowUp was unreachable in the fall-through match, but Steering mode does not drain FollowUp inputs, so a FollowUp-variant input genuinely reaches that arm (and breaks, left unconsumed) when draining in Steering mode. Narrow the comment to what is actually unreachable: UserMessage, Steering, and SubagentSettled, which both mode arms drain. Also aligns the Steering arm's brace style with the structurally parallel FollowUp arm (cosmetic only). No control-flow change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(agent-loop): delete the dead background-drain stub PostCapabilityStage::drain_settled() has been dead since it was scaffolded: it always returned an empty Vec, its single call site bound the result to _drained and never read it, and its doc comment promised a LoopBackgroundChildPort that exists nowhere in the repository. The real settled-background-subagent delivery path is LoopInput::SubagentSettled (tasks 1-2 of this slice). Remove the fn, its call site, and the stale R2 doc paragraph; renumber the surviving R1 compaction doc to plain prose since the R1/R2 split no longer exists. Structural only — no behavior change. Verified drain_settled and LoopBackgroundChildPort are referenced nowhere else in crates/ or tests/ (word-boundary grep), and cargo test -p ironclaw_agent_loop --no-fail-fast is green (565 tests, 0 failed). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(processes): dependency delivery substates and expected-state transition Delivering a settled dependency's result to its dependent is three durable facts, not one, and a crash can land between any two of them. Give the kernel dependency state machine the three in-flight states that sit between `Settled` and closure — `ResultAppended`, `AttentionScheduled`, `AttentionDeferred` — plus one expected-state compare-and-swap (`ProcessDependencyPort::transition_process_dependency`) that advances the state column only when it still holds the state the caller expects, so a half-applied step can be replayed without double-applying the next one. The names stay kernel-neutral: the state column says what happened to the edge, not which product feature produced it. Keeping all three on the column (rather than one of them in metadata) keeps any projection over these rows a total function of the state column. Inert surface: nothing outside the contract tests calls the new operation or writes the new states in this slice. Persistence notes: - The enum is serialized verbatim into journal rows with no tolerant-reader fallback, so the four historical spellings are pinned by a test and the three new ones are pinned as durable format too. - `ProcessDependencyRecord` gains `transitioned_at`, `#[serde(default)]` and skipped when absent, so historical rows still decode. - All three new states are in-flight: the persisted `closed` index and both query predicates derive closedness from `Consumed | Abandoned` alone, so the new states index as open and stay visible to the host recovery scan — asserted through the real index, not just the in-memory filter. The loop-tier await-edge projection had an exhaustive match over the enum; its three new arms fold onto `AwaitEdgeState::Settled` (marked `ponytail:`) until the slice that walks the delivery chain gives it real arms. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(processes): keep dependency closure on the one journal command that releases the reservation Two holes in the delivery state machine added by the previous commit, both found in self-review and both closed here. The expected-state CAS could write `Consumed`/`Abandoned` into the state column. It writes that column and nothing else, so that was a second door to a terminal state that skipped `release_dependency_reservation` — precisely the compensating dual write this crate's AGENTS.md forbids, and it would have leaked one descendant slot per closed edge forever. Both terminal targets are now refused up front, before the record lookup and before any mutation, with a reason naming the operation that closes the edge and releases the reservation in the same journal command. Refusing before the expected-state check keeps the answer deterministic: reaching for the wrong door gets the same error whatever the stored state is. `consume_process_dependency` required exactly `Settled`, which made `AttentionScheduled` a state an edge could enter and never leave. It now accepts `Settled | AttentionScheduled`, and deliberately no further: `ResultAppended` has no attention recorded yet, and `AttentionDeferred` is parked on purpose so an unclosed-query sweep can still find it. Closing either would strand the dependent with a result it never looks at. Abandon is unchanged — a parent that gives up mid-delivery must still return tree capacity from any non-terminal state. The state machine is now closed under its own rules: every state the CAS can reach has an exit, and every path to a terminal state releases the reservation atomically. The wrong-expected-state test targeted `Consumed`, which the new guard makes unconditionally illegal; it would have started passing for the wrong reason, so it now targets a legal state and still tests only the expectation mismatch. Still inert: nothing outside the contract tests calls the transition operation or writes a delivery substate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(turn-runner): project delivery substates onto the await edge Task 4 added three in-flight delivery states to the kernel's `ProcessDependencyState` and left `AwaitEdgeStore::edge_from_record` collapsing all of them onto `AwaitEdgeState::Settled` behind a `ponytail:` marker, because the loop-tier enum had no arms for them. Give it the arms and retire the marker. - `AwaitEdgeState` gains `ResultAppended`, `AttentionScheduled`, and `AttentionDeferredStreakCap`. The kernel's `AttentionDeferred` stays domain-neutral; the loop tier is the layer that knows what a streak cap is, so the names differ on purpose. - `AwaitEdge` gains `appended_message_ref` and `attention_outcome`, both optional and skipped when absent, plus the `AttentionOutcome` enum. - Three store methods walk the chain over the kernel's expected-state CAS: `record_result_appended` (Settled -> ResultAppended, carrying the parent-thread message ref), `record_attention` (-> AttentionScheduled), and `defer_streak_capped` (-> AttentionDeferred). Their metadata is *merged* into the record's blob, which is the serialized edge itself. - `close` consumes only `Settled | AttentionScheduled` — the two states the kernel will close — and leaves the in-flight ones parked, matching the journal's refusal to strand an undelivered result. Closing still goes through `consume`, never the state-column CAS. - `reservation_release` is unchanged: `Released` for `Consumed | Abandoned` only. All three new states are in flight and stay `Unclaimed`. The projection matches remain exhaustive with no wildcard — that exhaustiveness is what surfaced this site in the first place. Boot recovery gains explicit no-op arms with a `ponytail:` naming the sweep that lands with the producer; nothing outside tests writes these states in this slice. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(turn-runner): pin that the delivery chain refuses to skip the append `record_attention` targets `AttentionScheduled` with `ResultAppended` as its expected state, so scheduling attention before the child's result is durably appended is refused by the kernel's expected-state CAS. Nothing pinned that ordering: widening `record_attention`'s expected state to `Settled` left the whole suite green except the lifecycle walk, which failed for the unrelated reason that its second step no longer matched. Pin it directly — the refusal surfaces as an error carrying the kernel's cause, and the refused transition leaves the edge exactly where it was. Covers `AttentionOutcome::Activated`, which the lifecycle walk does not reach. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(turn-runner): give a streak-capped await edge a way out `AttentionDeferredStreakCap` was a dead end. `record_attention` hard-coded `ResultAppended` as its expected state and the kernel's `consume` takes only `Settled | AttentionScheduled`, so a parked edge had no forward path and no closing path — it could only be abandoned. That contradicts design §4.1/§4.2, where a streak-capped edge stays unclosed "until a permitted or human-initiated run start drains it": draining *is* scheduling attention. `record_attention` now advances from either legal predecessor. The kernel CAS takes one expected state, so the store reads which of the two the edge stands on and hands that observation back as the expectation. The guard is intact: the expectation is still asserted against stored state inside the journal command, so a concurrent writer that moved the row in between makes this write lose. An edge on neither legal predecessor falls through to `ResultAppended` and is refused by that same check — this is a two-element legal set, not "advance from anywhere", and the kernel CAS contract is unchanged. Tests: the deferred branch is now proven closeable end to end — parked, `close` a no-op while parked, drained forward by attention (keeping the already-appended message ref), then consumed with no dependency left unresolved. Also pinned that replaying attention keeps the first outcome. `the_delivery_chain_refuses_to_skip_the_append` from 9b8071d was written to catch a naive widening of this expected state to `Settled`; it stays green before and after this change, which is the evidence that one specific door opened rather than the guard loosening. A near-identical refusal test I had written separately was dropped in favour of that pin, with its one extra assertion folded in. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(turn-runner): recover appended_message_ref/attention_outcome from the real production blob edge_from_record's fallback branch hardcoded appended_message_ref: None and attention_outcome: None, on the assumption that the fallback (AwaitedChildSetRecord) shape was a legacy path. It is not: subagent_spawn_port.rs is the sole production writer of dependency metadata and it always writes that shape, so from_value::<AwaitEdge> always fails against real data and the fallback always fires. The delivery-chain CAS merges appended_message_ref/attention_outcome into that same blob as sibling top-level keys (additive merge, never a replace), so the durable blob carries both fields — the fallback just never read them back, discarding them on every projection and breaking the documented replay-safety of record_result_appended/record_attention against real production data. Existing tests missed this because settled_background_edge opened its fixture dependency with a full AwaitEdge-shaped blob (serde_json::to_value(&edge)), which production never writes and which takes the primary parse branch instead of the fallback. Switched that fixture (and legacy_edge_metadata_fallback_and_malformed_metadata_fail_closed, via a new shared awaited_child_set_record() helper) to the real AwaitedChildSetRecord shape, which is what exposed the bug: four tests went red with the fallback hardcoded to None, confirming the finding. Also: renamed record_attention's shadowed `outcome` local to `outcome_value`, and corrected two module-doc clauses in mod.rs — abandon reaches any non-terminal state (the kernel's close-dependency guard only gates consume), and AttentionDeferredStreakCap is not consumable from here but is still abandonable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(threads): idempotent system-class subagent-result acceptance Adds `SessionThreadService::accept_subagent_result` — the durable door a background child's framed result enters the *parent's* thread through, exactly once across a crash-and-replay. - The row is `MessageKind::System` / `MessageStatus::Finalized`, never `MessageKind::User`: a child's output is untrusted agent text, not a human instruction on the steering contract. - Dedupe reuses the ONE existing acceptance index — the flat SHA-256 of `(scope, source_binding_id, external_event_id)` that `accept_inbound_message` already writes — rather than adding a second one. Both halves of the identity arrive as caller-supplied strings; this crate cannot see run identity (no `ironclaw_processes` edge) and derives nothing. - Two-phase claim on backends without transactions: the idempotency record is written before the row, so a crash in between leaves a durable recovery intent and the retry resumes the SAME message id instead of appending the result twice. A retry whose payload disagrees with the claim fails closed on a content-free fingerprint. - `IdempotencyState` is the former `InboundIdempotencyState` made generic in the accepted-reply shape so both doors share one classification; the large `Pending` payload is boxed. The trait method carries a fail-closed default (house convention, nearai#7752), so the 11 test doubles stay at zero diff — and the `Arc<S>` blanket forward is added, because a forgotten forward inherits that default silently. Both production backends implement it for real. Nothing calls it: this slice lands inert surface only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent): correct the R2 design record against live code Recon against live code found four categories of false or stale claims in the canonical subagent design record: an overclaimed in-memory queue with no compat concern (production is filesystem-backed and deserializes the queue document whole), an overclaimed GateResolved precedent (zero producers, treated as a barrier — SubagentSettled is the first host-side settlement input), four wrong file paths/scopes in the Part II task list, and two undocumented decisions (three kernel substates instead of two, and the 2a/2b/2c slice split). Also marks the inert surface slice 2a already shipped and records two open items found during 2a and left for 2b. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(threads): pin that subagent-result acceptance fails closed on an unknown thread A child's framed result may only land in a thread that already exists under the caller's scope. The door must not conjure a thread — and because it claims the acceptance identity BEFORE the row on backends without transactions, a rejected acceptance must not burn the identity: the retry has to be rejected again rather than come back reporting an idempotent replay of a row that was never written. Covers both production backends behind `Arc<dyn SessionThreadService>`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): fix stale two-variant enumeration and freshness date Task 5's Files bullet still named only ResultAppended and AttentionDeferred for ProcessDependencyState, contradicting D12 (added in the same prior commit) which records the deliberate three-variant decision. Name all three and point at D12. Also bump the "Last verified against code" date to 2026-08-21 to match the latest verification pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(threads): cover the orphan-claim window on the unknown-thread reject `subagent_result_into_an_unknown_thread_fails_closed` documents a non-transactional-backend property it never reaches: both backends it runs on either commit the identity claim with the row or never write one, so neither enters the state the comment describes. Refusing `BeginTxn` forces the two-phase fallback. The recorded backend traffic confirms the window is real — claim `WriteFile` lands at the idempotency path, then the thread `ReadFile` misses — leaving a durable claim pointing at a row that will never exist. The retry must still be rejected: an orphan claim must never be mistaken for a committed row and replayed back as an accepted result. The property is defended twice (the classifier verifies the thread before reading the message, and a missing row resumes rather than replays), so the test only goes red when both guards are removed — verified by mutation, with the two pre-existing unknown-thread cases staying green throughout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(threads): one two-phase claim-then-row protocol for both acceptance doors `accept_subagent_result`'s `TransactionalMessageWrite::Unsupported` arm was a second copy of `accept_inbound_message_with_replay_metadata`'s: the same `CasExpectation::Absent` claim before the row, the same `VersionMismatch` re-classify-and-resume recovery, the same `reserve_sequence` -> `write_new_message` -> resume-race read. Only the classifier, the reply shape, and the diagnostic strings differed — and the two had already drifted apart on day one. Lifts that arm into `write_new_message_claiming_identity_first`, parameterized by a `FallbackAppend` describing where the row lands and which identity claim guards it, plus the door's `classify` closure returning `IdempotencyState<T>`. Both doors now call it. The crash window that stops a message being appended twice is closed in exactly one place, so a fix to it can no longer reach only whichever copy a bug report names. No behavior change on any covered path: - The inbound resume-race read moves from `accepted_message_from_idempotency_path` to `idempotency_record_from_path` + `classify`. Both yield `Accepted` under exactly the same condition (the row exists and the actor matches); every other outcome falls through to the original write error as before. - The subagent resume-race read moves from a bare `read_message_versioned` to the same `classify_subagent_idempotency_record` the rest of that function already uses, which additionally rejects a thread mismatch or a non-system row. Identical on the happy path, strictly fail-closed on the mismatch. - Claim-conflict diagnostics are now built from the door's write label. Regression net (all green, unchanged): `filesystem_fallback_idempotency_failure_precedes_message_persistence`, `filesystem_fallback_resumes_intent_with_original_model_after_message_failure`, `filesystem_fallback_accept_concurrent_duplicate_replays_existing_message`, `filesystem_transactional_accept_concurrent_duplicate_replays_existing_message`. Drops the `ponytail:` marker that named this duplication as accepted debt — the debt is paid, and a marker for debt that no longer exists is its own defect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(threads): refuse a subagent-result identity with an empty half `("", "")` hashes to a perfectly valid dedupe-record key. A producer that forgot to populate `external_event_id` would therefore collapse every child of every parent onto one row and get `idempotent_replay: true` back for all of them — a fail-OPEN shape in the one door whose entire job is fail-closed dedupe, and one that looks like success at every call site. Both halves are now validated (non-empty after trim) before the identity is hashed, on both backends, via one `validate_subagent_acceptance_identity` beside the existing `validate_attachment_refs`. Rejection is typed: `SessionThreadError::InvalidSubagentResult` — a caller error, following `InvalidPreparedContext`, never `Backend`. Also pins two promises that had no in-tree proof: - `a_backend_without_the_door_fails_closed` drives the trait's fail-closed default through a backend that implements every REQUIRED method and overrides nothing else — the exact shape of the 11 test doubles this slice left at zero diff. Without it the default's correctness rested on uncommitted mutation evidence. - `filesystem_fallback_unknown_thread_claim_is_not_replayed_as_accepted` now asserts the burned identity HEALS once its thread exists. The rejection assertions alone were not load-bearing: an orphan claim read as a committed row still surfaces `UnknownThread` on the retry from a later stage, so the test passed against that exact bug. Verified by mutation — making a row-less claim classify as `Accepted` now fails this test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(assistant): map the new InvalidSubagentResult thread error 43ef011 added SessionThreadError::InvalidSubagentResult but left the exhaustive match arm in map_thread_error uncommitted, so the branch did not build. Verified both ways: without this arm cargo check -p ironclaw_assistant fails with E0004 non-exhaustive patterns; with it the crate builds clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(processes): make a new terminal dependency variant fail to compile `apply_transition_dependency` refuses to let the state-column CAS close a dependency edge, because closing and releasing the descendant reservation are one journal command (crate AGENTS.md:40). The refusal matched `Consumed` and `Abandoned` and swept everything else into a `_ => None` wildcard. That wildcard is fail-open on an enum this branch just proved gains variants (it gained three). A future terminal variant would fall through it, get written by the CAS, and permanently leak the descendant reservation slot: rows.rs:1563 indexes the row as closed, `apply_close_dependency` returns early as already-terminal, and nothing ever releases the reservation. Silent, permanent, no compile error. Enumerate the five non-terminal variants instead. Adding a terminal variant now fails to compile in the one file that owns the paired release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(threads): pin that both acceptance doors share one dedupe index The design constraint of the thread-service work is that the subagent-result door reuses the inbound door's `(scope, source_binding_id, external_event_id)` index rather than opening a second parallel one. Both `contract.rs` and `filesystem_service.rs` assert this in prose; no test observed it. Every case in this suite drove one door at a time, so a refactor giving the subagent door its own index path would have left all of them green. Equally untested was the fail-closed collision guard that keeps a user or steering row from being handed back to a parent as its child's result. One case per production backend closes both gaps: claim the tuple through `accept_inbound_message`, then offer the same tuple to `accept_subagent_result` and require a `Backend` error naming the non-system row, with the thread still holding exactly the one user row. Proven non-vacuous by weakening each half in turn, both backends: - delete the `kind != System` guard -> both new cases fail, returning the user row as `AcceptedSubagentResult { idempotent_replay: true }`; - namespace the subagent door's index key -> both new cases fail, minting a second row at sequence 2. In both weakenings the other 13 cases in the file stayed green, which is the coverage gap this commit closes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(loop-contracts): pin all seven historical LoopInput wire tags `historical_loop_input_forms_still_deserialize` pinned 4 of the 7 variants, leaving `interrupt`, `cancel`, and `capability_surface_changed` unguarded. `LoopInput` is serialized whole into the durable run-queue document, where one unparseable entry corrupts an entire run's queue rather than one message, so a half-pinned tag set is the gap the test exists to close. Verified non-vacuous: renaming `Interrupt`'s field on the wire turns the test red with `missing field 'interrupt_kind'`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): correct the freshness stamp's commit hash The date advanced to 2026-08-21 but the hash stayed at `e4225c442`, which predates every correction the document now records. Point it at the branch HEAD the content was actually verified against. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(stress): map InvalidSubagentResult in the stress harness dba5f41 fixed only the ironclaw_assistant match site because it was verified with 'cargo check -p ironclaw_assistant' rather than at workspace scope. tools/ironclaw_stress is a workspace member and its thread_failure match is exhaustive with no wildcard, so the workspace still failed to build with E0004. Verified this time at the right scope: 'cargo check --workspace --all-targets' now reports 0 errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(threads): pin mismatched-payload replay parity and the subagent race Two gaps the subagent-result suite left open. Mismatched-payload replay: both production backends key acceptance on the identity tuple alone, so a retry carrying different content under a committed identity is answered with the row that already exists — no second row, no rewrite of the transcript, still MessageKind::System. Pinned on both backends behind Arc<dyn SessionThreadService>. The filesystem `request_fingerprint` decides only the claimed-but-unwritten recovery window, so that branch gets its own case: a changed payload must not resume someone else's claim, and the refusal must not poison the claim for the payload it belongs to. Concurrency: two deliveries of the same child result now race for one claim on the non-transactional backend, behind a two-party barrier on BeginTxn that forces both onto the claim-then-write protocol after both have read "no record". Asserts one durable System row, one shared message id and sequence, exactly one `idempotent_replay`, and that the loser burns no sequence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(agent-loop): drive the real drain call site for settled subagents The predicate-only test could not see what production actually does with a `SubagentSettled` input. Replace it with a `consume_drainable_inputs` test that runs both user-facing drain modes over a batch where the settled input sits directly ahead of a `GateResolved` barrier, asserting the cursor advances by exactly one and only the settled input's ack token comes back — consumption, not mere classification. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(turn-runner): pin the fail-closed guard on both merged delivery keys `edge_from_record`'s fallback branch refuses a blob that parses as an `AwaitedChildSetRecord` but carries junk under `appended_message_ref` or `attention_outcome`. Nothing drove either error path, so a refactor to `.ok()` would have stayed green. Extend the existing fail-closed test with one case per key, asserting the refusal names the offending key. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(turn-runner): move the await-edge store tests into their own file store.rs had grown to 1,046 lines with the `#[cfg(test)]` module starting at 472 — over half the file was tests, and the file crossed the repo's 1,000-line ceiling for touched source. Split the test module into `store/tests.rs`, matching the idiom already used three times in this crate (`structured_finalization/tests.rs`, `loop_driver_host/compaction_tests.rs`, `loop_driver_host/run_lease_fence_tests.rs`). Pure move: the production half of `store.rs` is byte-identical to before, and the test body differs only by the rustfmt reflow that follows dedenting it one level. No behavior delta. `store.rs` is now 473 lines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): the delivered result row never enters the steering ladder §4.1 told slice 2b to bind the appended subagent-result row to a queue entry "exactly as steering rows do (`mark_message_queued` → `enqueue_queued_message`)". It cannot: the acceptance writes the row `System`/`Finalized` (filesystem_service.rs:2201) and `ensure_user_accepted` (:4378, in_memory.rs:1820) admits only `User` rows in {Accepted, DeferredBusy, Queued}. Both mark_message_queued (:2808) and mark_message_submitted (:2756) gate on it, so the queue's best-effort flip_submitted (input_queue.rs:572) fails permanently and retains the pending flip; retained flips count against MAX_QUEUED_INPUTS_PER_RUN (:385, =32), so a long-lived parent would refuse all input — human steering included — after 32 child settlements, and is_settled (:549) never holds, so the durable per-run document is never reclaimed (durable_input_queue.rs:184, :370). Even a succeeding mark_message_queued sets `Queued`, which is_model_visible (:4397) excludes — hiding the delivered result from the parent's own context. Corrects §4.1, the §4.3 `ironclaw_threads` row, and §9 Task 6 (step 2 + Files): the row is appended `Finalized` and never marked `Queued`; 2b calls `enqueue_queued_message` alone and makes the `Submitted` flip a no-op for an already-terminal row in both thread backends. Adds dated decision-log entry D14, which records the rejected alternative — widening `ensure_user_accepted` to admit system rows would re-open `Queued`/`RejectedBusy` onto a result row and make untrusted child text indistinguishable from a human instruction. Pins today's refusal on both production backends (a_result_row_is_refused_by_the_steering_ladder), asserting the InvalidMessageTransition shape — message id, `from == Finalized`, and the attempted operation — for both mark_message_queued and mark_message_submitted, so 2b meets a red test instead of a wedged parent run. No production code change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(processes): make the dependency lifecycle a relation the kernel enforces The state-column CAS refused terminal targets, replayed idempotently on `state == next`, and checked `state == expected` — but never checked that `(expected, next)` was a legal edge. `expected: Settled, next: AttentionScheduled` was accepted, skipping `ResultAppended` entirely; `apply_close_dependency` then consumed `AttentionScheduled` and released the descendant reservation with nothing on record saying a result was ever appended. The one test covering the ordering passed only because its caller happened to pick the right `expected` — it pinned caller discipline, not a guard. `ProcessDependencyState::legal_predecessors` makes the relation a total function on the enum: a new variant cannot compile without naming its predecessors, and both closing doors — the CAS and consume/abandon — read the same relation instead of each carrying its own `matches!`. `TransitionProcessDependencyRequest::expected` is deleted. The CAS now advances to `next` when the stored state is a legal predecessor of `next`. Concurrency is unchanged: a double-drive of one step still hits the `state == next` idempotent return, and a racer arriving late finds a state that is not a legal predecessor and loses — exactly what `expected` bought, derived rather than asserted. `StoredProcessCommand::TransitionDependency` is a journaled, serialized command, so this is a durable-format change; it is free today because this slice has zero producers (verified: the only non-test callers of `transition_process_dependency` are `AwaitEdgeStore::transition`, whose three callers `record_result_appended` / `record_attention` / `defer_streak_capped` are reached only from tests). Once 2b ships producers it stops being free. Collapsed into the relation: - `apply_close_dependency`'s bespoke `Settled | AttentionScheduled` check. - Five duplicated closed-state predicates -> `ProcessDependencyState::is_closed`, including the derived `closed` **index** in `journal_store/rows.rs`, which was a non-exhaustive `matches!` that would have silently mis-indexed a future terminal variant. All three in-flight delivery states still index as not closed, pinned through both readers (the in-memory query filter and `unresolved_process_dependencies`, which reads that index directly). - `record_attention`'s `peek`-then-CAS and its `_ =>` wildcard predecessor selector, which existed only to reconstruct an `expected` the kernel can now derive. The design record lists that wildcard as open 2b debt; it no longer exists, so that bullet is stale. Also collapses `edge_from_record`'s two-shape decode to one total decode. The shapes are provably disjoint (`AwaitedChildSetRecord` lacks `parent_thread_id`, `state`, `reservation_release` and `created_at`, all required by `AwaitEdge`) and the only writer of a serialized `AwaitEdge` into dependency metadata was one test helper, now writing the production blob. Commit 80663be was that fallback biting. The discarded-cause `Err(_)` goes with it. Tests: `DEPENDENCY_DELIVERY_CHAIN` and its `position()` index arithmetic are gone — a linear array cannot express a branch, and index 2->3 asserted `AttentionScheduled -> AttentionDeferred` was legal, which it must not be. Replaced by `DEPENDENCY_TRANSITION_EDGES`, a table over every ordered non-terminal pair with its expected outcome, plus a same-state idempotent replay test that pins metadata is not clobbered. The kernel vocabulary stays domain-neutral: a settled dependency records its result, its dependent is made attentive, then it closes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): retire the debt entry the kernel change deleted record_attention's peek-then-CAS and its `_ =>` predecessor wildcard were deleted in 39a823d, not deferred: the kernel now derives the expected state from ProcessDependencyState::legal_predecessors. The open-items list still carried them. Also records the unbounded-dependency-query charter gap found during review, so 2b's sweeps meet it as a stated charter fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(threads): frame child text in the type, not in the caller `accept_subagent_result` persists its row as `MessageKind::System`, and a system-kind row reaches the model's *system* role: `model_role_for_kind` (`loop_host/src/lib.rs:3462`) -> `HostManagedModelMessageRole::System` -> `ChatMessage::system` (`model_gateway.rs:2354`) -> the provider's top-level `system` field (`anthropic_oauth.rs:1249`, `rig_adapter.rs:504`). The request took a `MessageContent`, which any caller can build from arbitrary raw text, so a producer that skipped the resolver's framing would promote an injected child instruction into host authority. Nothing calls the door yet; the point is that its safety must not depend on every future caller remembering to wrap. `AcceptSubagentResultRequest.content` is now `FramedSubagentText`, whose only constructor frames — same shape as this crate's `ToolResultSafeSummary`. `frame` prepends an explicit untrusted preamble, wraps the body in the `|||` delimiters the turn runner already uses, and neutralizes control characters and pipe runs so a child cannot close the frame from inside and continue as host text. Nothing is truncated. Attachments leave this door: a delivered child result is text (design record §2.7). No new dependency edge — `ironclaw_threads` still imports neither `ironclaw_turn_runner` nor `ironclaw_processes`. Red before green: with `frame` reduced to identity, the new case fails on both backends with "raw child text reached the durable row verbatim". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(agent-loop): drive a settled subagent result through the real drain caller `consume_drainable_inputs` is a pure function: it classifies inputs and advances the cursor, and that is all a test at that level can see. The sequence a settled subagent result actually depends on lives one layer up in `InputStage::process` — write the `BeforeModel` checkpoint of the advanced cursor, and only then ack, because the ack is what flips the queued transcript row to `Submitted` and makes it model-visible. Drive `[SubagentSettled, GateResolved]` through `InputStage::process` in both user-facing drain modes and pin both halves: the settled input advances the cursor, checkpoints it, and is the only token acked; the gate is a barrier that stops the drain with its own ack token untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): cite the symbol, not the line that already moved Both doc comments in the acceptance suite and twenty citations added to the design record pinned cross-crate call sites by absolute line number. Nothing fails when those drift, and three of the six numbers in the steering-ladder comment already resolve to unrelated code — two of them to a bare `}` — inside the branch that wrote them. Cite the symbols instead: `ensure_user_accepted`, `is_model_visible`, `MAX_QUEUED_INPUTS_PER_RUN`, `is_settled`, `flip_submitted`. They were already in the prose, so nothing is lost and the citations survive a refactor. Five design-record citations named no symbol and were given one, each resolved against the tree first. The two pre-existing line citations are left alone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(threads): drop the dead serde attribute, keep the one-way frame Two review findings on `FramedSubagentText`. `#[serde(transparent)]` removed. The filed security concern does not apply — the type derives `Serialize` only, so there is no wire construction path to bypass `frame()`, and `.claude/rules/types.md` aims that flag at `transparent` + derived `Deserialize`. But the attribute is dead weight: the type's one serializer is `subagent_acceptance_fingerprint`, and serde_json emits a plain newtype struct as its inner value, so the persisted fingerprint bytes are unchanged (verified with a throwaway equality test). It also leaves a trap for whoever later adds `Deserialize`. Gone, and named in the doc comment alongside the other deliberate absences. Neutralization stays one-way. The second finding read the framed value as the only copy of the child's output; it is a derived copy in the *parent's* thread. The child's verbatim text is a finalized assistant row in the child's own thread — `child_terminal_output` reads it back to build this one — and nothing on the settle path deletes or redacts it (`delete_thread` has no production callers). "LLM data is never deleted" governs the row, not every projection of it; the sibling `sanitize_untrusted_terminal_reason` already truncates the same text to 512 bytes. A reversible escape would buy retention already guaranteed at the source while handing an injected child escape syntax to reason about from inside the delimiters. The doc comment now says so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(agent-loop): assert the persisted checkpoint cursor, not just kind and final state checkpoint_kinds() only proves a BeforeModel checkpoint happened; the final in-memory cursor only proves the executor's own state advanced. Neither proves what cursor value the checkpoint payload actually carried, so a regression that persists a stale cursor and only later advances the in-memory one would still pass. Decode the staged BeforeModel payload (MockHost already captures it via staged_payloads()) and assert its cursor directly, in both drain modes.

… activation, healing sweeps (slices 2b+2c) (nearai#7818) * feat(loop-host): spawn codec and schema accept background mode Task 1 of the background-subagents slice: the spawn-args wire codec now decodes mode: "background" (and the legacy run_in_background: true flag, treated as an alias) instead of rejecting it, and the generated tool schema advertises the mode property. A contradictory mode: "blocking" + run_in_background: true pair is rejected as a model-correctable InvalidInvocation naming the conflict. finish_spawn still hardcodes SpawnSubagentMode::Blocking pending Task 2, which consumes args.mode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(loop-host): background spawn returns an immediate receipt Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(threads): submitted flip returns a terminal row unchanged Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(turn-runner): close refuses an edge holding an undelivered result Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(loop-host): bind_input_enqueue on the settler seam Add AwaitEdgeSettler::bind_input_enqueue (mirroring bind_result_writer's deferred-binding pattern) so the background-mode delivery tail landing in Task 5 can later enqueue a settled child's result as steering input for a live parent run. Wires the resolver's OnceLock field, the inherent and trait-impl bind methods, and the composition-side bind call right after host_input_queue is built. No AwaitEdgeSettler double exists outside the resolver (rg -n "impl AwaitEdgeSettler" crates/ tests/), so there is no second implementor to update. Structural only: no behavior change — the bound port has no caller yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(turn-runner): background results append and enqueue per child Adds AwaitEdgeResolver::deliver_background, the settle_and_maybe_drain branch that routes SpawnSubagentMode::Background edges to it instead of drain_settled_group (blocking mode is unchanged), and the resolver's production HostInputEnqueuePort/LoopInput imports. deliver_background walks the delivery chain end to end: 1. Append (idempotent): frame the child's final text (or failure summary) with FramedSubagentText::frame, accept it onto the parent thread via SessionThreadService::accept_subagent_result, and record the resulting message ref with AwaitEdgeStore::record_result_appended. A re-peeked edge that already carries appended_message_ref reuses it instead of accepting a second row (accept_subagent_result's own idempotency covers a mid-step crash). 2. Attend: query AgentTurnSpawnTreeRuntimePort::recent_runs_for_thread for the parent's newest run; a live, non-terminal record gets the settled result enqueued as LoopInput::SubagentSettled through the bound HostInputEnqueuePort, then AwaitEdgeStore::record_attention. No live run, an unbound port, or the enqueue itself refusing with RunClosed/CapacityExhausted/Disabled all leave the edge parked in ResultAppended and return Ok(Drained) rather than erroring — Task 6 (2c) adds the parked-parent activation path. 3. Close only from AttentionScheduled, via AwaitEdgeStore::close. Turn-runner runtime wiring (crates/loop/ironclaw_turn_runner/src/runtime.rs) is deliberately NOT touched: parts.input_queue there is Option<Arc<dyn HostInputQueue>> (the drain-reader half only), which does not implement HostInputEnqueuePort, so there is no enqueue-capable handle to bind. The resolver treats that unbound state as "no live queue" (the same ResultAppended fall-through), not an error — composition's bind_input_enqueue call (previous commit) covers the production path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(turn-runner): parked parents are activated with system provenance Task 6 (2c): replaces deliver_background's "parked-parent activation lands here" fall-through with a real activate_parked_parent branch. When a background child settles and its parent has no live run (or the live-run enqueue itself refuses), the resolver now wakes the parent through TurnCoordinator::activate with ActivationProvenance::System, preserving the parent's own run profile id. A streak-cap refusal parks the edge at AttentionDeferredStreakCap (unclosed, excluded from autonomous retry); any other activation refusal (ThreadBusy, transient Unavailable, ...) leaves the edge at ResultAppended for the next drive to re-attend. Re-drive entry now special-cases AttentionScheduled (close only) and AttentionDeferredStreakCap (no-op) so a crash between activation and close never triggers a second activate() call. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(turn-runner): move the await-edge resolver tests into their own file Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(processes): keyset paging on the dependency query ProcessDependencyQuery gains after/limit fields (keyset cursor over the existing canonical (dependent_process_id, dependency_process_id) sort key). Both None reproduces the pre-existing unbounded query byte-for-byte; a bounded request walks a new process_dependency_canonical_v1 index directly, applying filters before the cursor/limit bound, so a bounded read stops once it collects `limit` matching rows instead of draining the whole scope. Adds the plumbing the run-start sweep needs without wiring it up yet: AwaitEdgeSettler::sweep_thread_on_run_start (trait method + a real resolver implementation, unreached by any production caller), AwaitEdgeStore::list_background_for_thread, and a required await_edge_settler field on RebornTurnRunExecutor (constructed everywhere, not yet invoked from execute_claimed_run). No behavior change for any existing caller. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(turn-runner): run-start and boot sweeps heal background delivery RebornTurnRunExecutor now calls AwaitEdgeSettler::sweep_thread_on_run_start before invoke_driver on every claimed run, deriving human_initiated from the claimed run's subagent_activation_provenance (absent/Human is permitted; System/ParentAgent is not). The resolver's sweep walks the thread's background dependency edges (bounded at MAX_QUEUED_INPUTS_PER_RUN) and drives each through deliver_background's existing idempotent re-drive: Settled/ResultAppended/AttentionScheduled redeliver or close; AttentionDeferredStreakCap drains forward only when human_initiated permits it (deliver_background gains a retry_deferred parameter for this one caller — the reactive settle path keeps its autonomous no-retry default). A sweep failure is logged and never fails the run start. boot_recovery's recover_scope replaces its ponytail no-op arms for the background delivery substates: Settled(background)/ResultAppended deliver through deliver_background (parked-parent activation included, System provenance); AttentionScheduled closes only; a streak-capped edge stays parked for a later permitted/human start. Blocking-mode Settled keeps its pre-existing drain_settled_group path unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(integration): background delivery scenarios Extend tests/integration/subagent_await_edge.rs with five scenarios composing real DefaultTurnCoordinator + InMemorySessionThreadService + InMemoryHostInputQueue + AwaitEdgeResolver over a shared in-memory process journal (mirroring resolver/tests.rs's bg_fixture/SweepFixture pattern with production components instead of test doubles): - background_child_result_is_delivered_per_child_while_parent_runs - run_closed_race_is_healed_by_activation - parked_parent_is_activated_with_system_provenance - background_delivery_replay_is_idempotent - streak_capped_result_waits_for_human tests/CLAUDE.md rows added in this same commit per its maintenance rule. coverage-floor.toml: no recapture — this PR adds no production source to any gated crate's denominator (test-only addition to the root integration binary), so the file's own same-PR floor-raise trigger condition does not apply. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): R2 closeout — prompt wording and §9 prune - Spawn capability description (crates/loop/ironclaw_loop_host/prompts/ spawn_subagent_description.md, already a prompts/*.md file loaded via include_str!) gains background-mode wording: receipt semantics, per-child arrival, "do not poll". No Rust change needed — the descriptor already loads the file verbatim. - Repoint every stale §-reference in await_edge/{mod,store,resolver}.rs and await_edge_port.rs doc comments off the deleted thread-harness-design.md onto docs/internal/reborn/subagent-spawn/ README.md's own sections (boot_recovery.rs carries none). store.rs's existing §4.1/§4.2 citations already matched the README's numbering and are left as-is. - README §2.5: fix the stale claim of "two lazy resolver paths (resolver.rs:1709, :1785)" — both were test-module lines; the only production recovery caller is subagent_spawn_port.rs's finish_spawn, confirmed by `rg -n check_scope_recovered`. - README §9: pruned to a one-line "R2 shipped in PR nearai#7788" pointer; promoted R3 (gate escalation walk) into the pending slot per the section's own "pruned when R2 ships" instruction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(threads): scope the D14 finalized no-op to subagent-result rows The D14 guard in `mark_message_submitted` checked `status == Finalized` alone, so every finalized row — `Assistant`, `ToolResultReference`, `CapabilityDisplayPreview` — returned Ok where it previously returned `InvalidMessageTransition`. A caller aiming at the wrong message id was masked instead of failing loud. Subagent-result rows are written `MessageKind::System` by `accept_subagent_result` in both backends, so the guard now requires that kind; every other finalized kind falls through to `ensure_user_accepted` and errors as before. Extends `a_result_row_is_refused_by_the_steering_ladder` with the negative half; it fails on both backends without the narrowing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(processes): fail loud on truncated pages, filter dependent_id in memory Two defects in the bounded dependency query added by this branch. `dependent_id` is the canonical index's sort key, not part of its equality prefix. `ordered_query_prefix_values` requires the filter's equality-key set to equal exactly the keys preceding the sort key (here `lineage_scope_key` alone), so passing `dependent_process_id` as an index-level equality filter made the ordered query Unsupported instead of narrowing it. Latent today — no caller pairs `dependent_process_id: Some(..)` with a `limit` — but armed for the next one. It now filters in memory per page, like `group_ref`/`include_closed`. A full page whose last row yields no cursor now returns Deserialization rather than breaking out with a silent short read, matching the unbounded sibling `query_indexed_collection`. Adds libSQL parity coverage and the previously untested `limit == 0`, `dependent_process_id: Some(..)`, and `include_closed: true` branches; the dependent-filter bug surfaced from that coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(subagent-spawn): correct §2.1 and finish the §9 closeout §2.1 "What ships today" still described the pre-slice-2b behavior — codec rejects background via `background_subagents_disabled()`, schema hides `mode`, `finish_spawn` hard-codes Blocking — all three now false. §9's closeout sentence was truncated and claimed three slices while naming two. Rewritten against live code, keeping the caveat that `builtin.spawn_subagent` remains in `disabled_capability_ids` and is not model-reachable until R9.

Both statements verified present in each revision: the background gate-ref arm moved 2032 -> 1427, and handle_child_terminal_inner's return type 563 -> 853. Scope, owner, and rationale are unchanged.

… consumer (nearai#7770 phase 1) (nearai#7765) * feat(memory): periodic memory-curation pass ("dreaming"), first slice (nearai#7276) Memory only ever grew. Writes accumulate, nothing prunes, and the standing document has a byte budget, so redundancy crowds out what matters. No human reads the file, so the decay is invisible. This adds the Hermes-shaped answer: every N completed user turns, the agent runs with no user present, re-reads its standing memory, and tidies it — merging duplicates, resolving superseded facts, tightening wording. Its output is the edits plus a structured report; nothing is sent to anyone. Buildable now because unbound turns landed (nearai#7562/nearai#7634): a run with no conversation and no reply target. The pass is submitted through the same `UnboundTurnService` door OpenAI-compat and subagent spawn already use. Shape. The loop tier owns only the observation ("an ordinary user turn completed, under this scope") and reports it through a port; every policy decision lives in the product tier. The port vocabulary sits in `ironclaw_loop_contracts` rather than the runner because WS1.7 deliberately removed `ironclaw_turn_runner` as a production dependency of `ironclaw_assistant`, and this must not reverse that. The load-bearing guard: an unbound run NEVER triggers curation. A pass is itself unbound, so triggering on unbound completion would let each pass schedule its successor — an unbounded background loop running the model against a user's memory forever. Pinned by test, both unbound profiles. Also fixed along the way: `UnboundTurnSubmission` had no way to declare limits, so it always inherited the profile's 1024-iteration budget and no wall clock. Fine for a user waiting on a panel, wrong for an unwatched background chore — an unconverged pass would burn tokens against a user's memory until that ceiling, and nobody would notice. Added narrowing-only limits (existing callers unchanged, explicitly defaulted) and the pass declares 6 model calls / 12 capability calls / 90s. Safety properties pinned by tests: the pass acts as the owner and never as an operator-config caller; it gets the three memory capabilities and nothing else; its id doubles as the idempotency key so a crash-retry converges on the same pass; a failed submission is swallowed at debug (post-terminal background path — info!/warn! would corrupt the REPL). Concurrency is safe without batch-atomic memory ops: memory writes are compare-and-swap, so a pass racing a live conversation loses the write rather than clobbering it. The failure mode is a lost curation pass, never a lost memory. Not wired into composition yet — no deployment runs this. Wiring, the gate-behavior decision (unbound runs abort on approval gates, so users with auto-approve off need skip-not-abort), and an integration scenario follow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): avoid an extension name in curation comments The extension-specificity gate scans generic code for concrete extension names; "with slack for one retry" tripped it on the English word. Reworded rather than allowlisted — the allowlist is for pre-existing debt, not for new code that can simply say something else. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(memory): move the curation contract into ironclaw_memory Memory vocabulary belongs with the memory contract. "Curation" means nothing outside memory, and the signal exists only to decide whether a user's memory needs tidying — putting it in ironclaw_loop_contracts made the loop-contracts crate carry a memory concept it has no stake in. Both tiers already depend on ironclaw_memory (the runner for after-turn recording, the product tier for the memory service), so this pulls in no new edge; it only puts the type where its domain lives. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(hooks): add privileged AfterTurn lifecycle point Adds `HookPointSpec::AfterTurn`, a privileged-only hook point that fires once after a turn's run reaches a terminal state — the seam for work about the turn as a whole rather than about one model call, capability invocation, or checkpoint. - `AfterTurnHookContext` (`points/turn.rs`) carries tenant/user/agent/ project plus a `completed` flag. `user_id` is non-optional and there is deliberately no `unbound` field: the dispatch call site never fires this point for unbound runs, because hook-started background work runs unbound and firing on unbound completion would let each background pass schedule its own successor forever. Observing background runs stays with `EventTriggered` + `LoopCompleted`, which is observer-only. - `PrivilegedAfterTurnHook` takes no sink: an AfterTurn hook may hold its own collaborators and start follow-on work as a side effect. The sealed-return-type law stays scoped to points untrusted tiers can reach. - `install_after_turn` rejects `Installed` and `SelfAuthored` at install time; `install_observer` rejects the point outright. - `dispatch_after_turn` mirrors the observer dispatch shape (ordered snapshot, poison handling, failure policy, telemetry) with a 5s per-hook timeout, and never propagates a hook failure to the caller. - New `DecisionKind::Lifecycle` (three in-crate consumers, all updated): act-capable but fails isolated, since the run it observes is already terminal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(memory): curation rides the AfterTurn hook point, bespoke port deleted nearai#7765 landed memory curation on a bespoke `AfterTurnCurationPort` because no general lifecycle seam existed yet. The `AfterTurn` hook point now exists, so the port is deleted and curation becomes one privileged hook among others. - `ironclaw_memory` sheds `src/curation.rs` entirely: memory carries no hook-framework vocabulary and no bespoke port. - `ironclaw_turn_runner` gains `after_turn_hooks::after_turn_hook_context`, which keeps the two guards centrally so no hook has to remember them: an unbound run never fires the point (hook-started background work runs unbound, so firing on unbound completion would let each pass schedule its own successor forever), and an actorless run never fires it (nothing to attribute follow-on work to). - The executor's `after_turn_curation` field becomes `after_turn_hooks: Option<Arc<HookDispatcher>>` with `with_after_turn_hooks`. The 5s bound survives as an OUTER backstop around the whole dispatch; the dispatcher already bounds each hook. - Semantic widening: the point fires for ANY terminal state of an ordinary actor-bearing run, not just `Completed`. Hooks that only want successes read `ctx.completed` — which `MemoryCurationService` does, first thing, because a failed turn says nothing about whether memory needs tidying and counting it would drift the interval. - `MemoryCurationService` implements `PrivilegedAfterTurnHook`; every policy decision (interval, per-owner counters, pass building, idempotency key) is unchanged. `ironclaw_assistant` takes a normal `ironclaw_hooks` dependency — products→loops, the edge it already has via `ironclaw_loop_host`. - `AfterTurnHookContext::new` added: the struct is `#[non_exhaustive]` and the call site is outside `ironclaw_hooks`, so a struct literal is unavailable. The dispatcher is un-wired (`None`) after this commit; composition follows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(memory): wire curation through composition behind [memory] config Phase 1 of nearai#7770 ends where it should: the `AfterTurn` point has a live consumer. Composition registers the memory-curation hook, so after every Nth completed turn the agent goes off on its own and tidies the user's standing memory document (nearai#7276). - `[memory].curation_interval_turns` (`ironclaw_config`): opt-in, serde-default absent. Absent means the hook is NEVER REGISTERED — disabled is expressed by not wiring, never by a sentinel, so a written `0` is rejected at parse time rather than clamped downstream into "after every turn". Config-only, no env override: that matches `provider`/`admin_overrides`, and only the mem0 connection fields carry an env convention. - `ironclaw_assistant::memory_curation::after_turn_curation_dispatcher` owns the assembly — which hook, at which phase (`Telemetry`: the run is already terminal, so it enforces nothing), under which trust class (`Builtin`), behind the stable `HookId::for_builtin` path. Composition calls it; per AGENTS.md the wiring root does not own module policy. Its own small dispatcher, not the per-run middleware one: `after_turn` fires once per run from a process-lifetime `Arc`. - `DefaultPlannedRuntimeParts::after_turn_hook_dispatcher_factory` is a factory, not a ready dispatcher, because the `UnboundTurnService` the hook submits through is built from the coordinator the same function builds. Handed `AfterTurnHookDeps` once, after those exist; may still decline. - Two conditions gate registration in composition: an operator asked for an interval AND a memory provider resolved. A pass over a document no provider backs would submit a run whose only three tools do not exist. Gate posture (nearai#7770's skip-and-note) is deliberately NOT implemented; a `DECISION nearai#7770:` comment at the submission site records why. No read-only "would this capability gate for this scope" query exists: the answer needs the descriptor's effects and origin-gate matrix, the run's `ApprovalPolicy`, the `TrustDecision`, grants, and leases composed inside `authorize_dispatch_with_trust` at dispatch time, with an origin that does not exist until the run is executing. Approximating it from `ApprovalSettingsProvider::global_auto_approve` alone would duplicate gate composition in a product service. The seam that is actually missing is at the gate strategy: a `GateOutcome` that skips the capability for the model instead of aborting the unbound run. Tests: two group scenarios drive the wired path end to end — the pass's thread id is its idempotency key and therefore deterministic, which is what lets the harness script the background pass's model at all. The positive scenario runs N ordinary turns and asserts the tidied text reaches a LATER conversation's prompt under the same user's own memory lane; the negative asserts an empty pass script below the interval and then corroborates it by crossing the interval one turn later, so "empty" cannot be latency. Both falsified by moving the interval. `with_memory_curation_interval()` on the group builder mirrors production's opt-in exactly; the wiring-parity tripwire and composition mass gate move with the new field. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): review round — per-trigger pass identity, conversation-only triggers, fail-closed install Six review findings on nearai#7765 (epic nearai#7770 phase 1). - **Pass identity was the number of OWNERS, not passes.** The curation pass id was `…-{counters.len()}`, which for one user is forever `1`: every interval after the first reused the same public id and idempotency key, so the unbound accept door REPLAYED the first pass instead of running a new one — the document would be curated exactly once, ever, with nothing surfacing it. `AfterTurnHookContext` now carries `run_id` (the terminal run that fired the point), the runner threads it through, and the pass id is `memory-curation-{tenant}-{user}-{run_id}`: distinct per trigger, and replayed as-is by a crash-retry of the same trigger, with no durable counter. - **Scheduled-trigger fires and subagent children no longer count.** A trusted fire keeps its creator as `TurnActor` and runs a non-unbound profile, so it passed both original guards and could launch a write-capable pass with no user present. The derivation is now an ALLOWLIST of conversation profiles (`reborn-planned-default`, `interactive_default`, `default`); the denylist shape failed open for every profile added later. - **Curation install fails closed.** `AfterTurnHookDispatcherFactory` returns `Result` and the runtime build propagates it as `DefaultPlannedRuntimeBuildError::AfterTurnHooks`. Declining is expressed by supplying no factory, never by a swallowed error that leaves a deployment believing memory is being tidied. - **A zero interval is unrepresentable downstream.** Config already rejected `curation_interval_turns = 0`; `NonZeroU32` now carries through the input builder into `MemoryCurationService`, and the clamp is gone. - **Typed error and typed counter key.** `CurationPassSubmitter::submit_pass` returns `UnboundTurnError`; counters key on a `(TenantId, UserId)` struct. - `// arch-exempt:` on the executor's hook field uses the enforced `plan #NNNN` form. Tests: distinct-vs-converging pass ids; scheduled-trigger and subagent profiles yield no context, planned-default does; the executor actually dispatches at the seam (recording hook over a completed bound run, and never for an unbound one); `accept_and_submit` journals the declared `TurnLimits`. The two curation scenarios script the pass by owner-scoped thread PREFIX — a new test-support `register_scope_script_prefix_for_test` — because a per-run pass id is not knowable before the triggering turn runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ci): panic-free interval const + QA harness field the sweep missed Two breaks, one class: struct call sites in test bins the local verification set never compiled. - The production panic baseline scans syntactically, so the compile-time `match … unreachable!()` NonZeroU32 constructor counted as a new panic. Replaced with `NonZeroU32::MIN.saturating_add(9)` — const, panic-free, and the comment says why the odd spelling exists. - `reborn_parity_qa/binary_e2e.rs` initializes DefaultPlannedRuntimeParts and needed the new `after_turn_hook_dispatcher_factory` field (None: QA replay drives no lifecycle hooks). Verified with `cargo check --workspace --tests` — the command that covers every bin, which the per-crate verification lists did not. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(filesystem): satisfy the Rust 1.98 chunks_exact_to_as_chunks lint Rust stable 1.98 rolled through CI today and its new clippy lint fails every branch on decode_embedding_blob's chunks_exact. as_chunks is the better code anyway: const chunk size yields [u8; 4] directly, so the per-element indexing disappears. Behavior pinned by the existing vector tests. Not this branch's code — the same fix goes to main in its own PR so every other open branch stops failing too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(lints): complete the Rust 1.98 clippy migration Full-workspace sweep under 1.98 (the toolchain CI now runs), on top of the vector.rs fix already on this branch: - result_large_err: GoogleCredentialError boxes its Recovery projection (one variant, nine sites' worth of warnings); agent_loop's batch error boxes its host error; turn_runner boxes only HostFinalizationFailed's payload — DriverError stays unboxed because five match sites destructure it by pattern, and it is not the oversized member. - chunks_exact_to_as_chunks: the two UTF-16 decoders in coding/text.rs. - useless_format in a trace_commons test. All private types or contained call sites; no public API changes beyond the boxed variant payloads inside their own crates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(lints): last two 1.98 sites — map_or_identity, test-support large errors The tracing-syntax architecture test's map_or(len, |end| end) becomes unwrap_or; db_write_measurement's error enum boxes its DbProbeError payloads (test-support only, ~5 construction sites). Full-workspace clippy --tests under 1.98: clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(hooks): Lifecycle-vs-Effect rationale + amend the side-effect invariant Approach-audit disposition on nearai#7770 (accepted findings ST3/SP3): - trust.rs documents why Lifecycle is not a duplicate of Effect: Effect is permitted for Installed/SelfAuthored by default — the third-party class for post-durable-fact event hooks — while turn completion must not carry that default. Folding them would silently widen who may react to a finished turn. - The hooks contract's side-effect invariant now names mediated prepared-context turn submission as a sanctioned route for Lifecycle hooks, instead of the code silently diverging from a list written before unbound turns existed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): audit round 2 — fail-closed curation gate, per-run hook dispatcher Second approach audit on nearai#7765 (nearai#7770 phase 1). Six accepted findings plus the documentation gaps they exposed. Fail closed on a provider that cannot curate. Composition registered curation whenever an interval was configured and any memory provider resolved, but a pass REPLACES the standing document and a bound third-party provider may reject that write outright — a deployment would spawn passes forever that all fail, with nothing surfacing it. `curation_interval_for_binding` now gates on the resolved binding and turns a configured-but-unservable curation into a startup error naming the provider and how to disable it. Nothing in a manifest declares "supports standing-document replacement" (`[memory].lifecycle` is about read/record hooks), so the gate is the native binding, with the missing declaration named in the comment as the seam for nearai#7664. Hook poison is run-scoped by contract, so the executor now holds a per-run dispatcher FACTORY instead of one process-lifetime dispatcher: a panic or timeout is barred for the run it happened in and retried on the next, instead of disabling curation until restart. The curation SERVICE stays one long-lived instance — its per-owner counters must accumulate across runs — and each fresh dispatcher installs a binding over that same service. Blocked states no longer dispatch. `after_turn_hook_context` requires `TurnStatus::is_terminal()`: a gated-then-resumed turn fired the point twice, once while still running. Also: tier-specific `install_builtin_after_turn` / `install_trusted_after_turn` replace the trust-class-parameterized installer (an invalid tier is now unrepresentable, not rejected at runtime); the executor's outer dispatch bound moves 5s -> 30s so it can never preempt the dispatcher's own per-hook timeout classification; the unused default-interval constant is deleted and its "ten matches Hermes" rationale moved to the config field a deployer reads; the hooks consumer inventory gains `ironclaw_assistant`; and `points/turn.rs` now states plainly that the point fires only for exits the executor applies — scheduler failure terminalization does not dispatch it, tracked as a follow-up on nearai#7770. Composition budget 42198 -> 42316 (both records, dated): +7 wiring, +109 for the fail-closed gate and its tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(hooks): enforce the after_turn tier gate in the registry, and close the review gaps CodeRabbit round three on nearai#7765. `HookRegistry::insert` now refuses `Installed` / `SelfAuthored` bindings at `HookPointSpec::AfterTurn`, alongside the phase-vs-trust gate it already carries. The tier-split installers encoded the restriction, but raw bindings reach the registry through `from_bindings` and the public builder's `insert_binding`, which bypass them — the point is act-capable, so an untrusted binding there would surface as a malformed binding mid-dispatch instead of an install-time refusal. The dispatcher's per-hook `after_turn` budget becomes injectable (`HookDispatcherBuilder::with_after_turn_timeout`, defaulting to `AFTER_TURN_HOOK_TIMEOUT`), which is what makes the timeout-race regression affordable: the executor-seam test wedges one hook against a millisecond budget and proves the hook ordered after it still runs, that the wedged one is recorded as a Timeout failure, and that the already-terminal run is unaffected. That asymmetry — outer backstop strictly larger than per-hook budget times hook count — was fixed earlier but never pinned. Executor-seam coverage also gains the two non-success terminal states: a FAILED and a CANCELLED conversation run each dispatch exactly once with `ctx.completed == false`. The below-threshold curation scenario no longer rests on a single empty reading, which a queued-but-unstarted pass would also produce. After crossing the interval it now requires EXACTLY ONE pass — one pass's worth of model calls and no more — which is what makes the earlier zero real rather than latency. The group harness mirrors production's two-part activation gate: curation wires only when an interval AND a bound memory provider are present, not from the interval alone. Version claims in two comments are reworded to name the lint rather than a toolchain release nobody can verify offline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(composition): re-measure the mass budget after the main merge The merge combined main's composition growth (notification inbox nearai#7697, subagent slice nearai#7788) with this branch's curation wiring; the two ceilings merged textually without a git conflict while the sum exceeded both — the gate caught exactly the case it exists for. Ceiling and the mirrored COMPOSITION_ABSOLUTE_SRC_LOC move together to the measured 42479, dated rationale in the toml. No composition code changes here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): give the curation pass report headroom — live-test finding The 2026-08-21 live test (DeepSeek-V4-Flash, isolated home, interval 2) proved the machinery end to end — the pass fired exactly once, acted as the user, consolidated two wordings of one fact into a correct merged line, and read its own write back to verify — and then terminated `Failed { model_call_limit }` before emitting its structured report. A real model spends calls a scripted one does not: three writes where the prompt asks for one, plus a fumbled read. Two changes, both evidence-backed: - MEMORY_CURATION_MAX_ITERATIONS 6 -> 10. The ceiling still hard-stops an unconverged pass; it now leaves room for the report after ordinary real-model imperfection. - The prompt's Finishing section states the budget and the exact sequence (read -> at most one write -> result tool), and says plainly that a pass dying unreported is worse than a pass changing nothing. The scripted integration scenario hands the model exactly three replies and structurally cannot see this failure mode; the constants comment records the live evidence so the next tuner knows where 10 came from. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(extension-contracts): declare [[memory.scheduled_ops]] — pass ops, trust-gated, cost-floored A memory provider can now declare its own recurring upkeep in its manifest instead of the host hardcoding which provider gets which background work. The provider names the work and the cadence; the host keeps the clock, the invocation envelope, and the authority. [[memory.scheduled_ops]] trigger = "after_turn" interval_turns = 10 pass = { prompt = "prompts/memory_curation.md", tools = ["ironclaw.memory.read", "ironclaw.memory.write"], max_model_calls = 10 } Contracts tier only — nothing dispatches or invokes these yet. `MemoryScheduledTrigger` is a closed host-owned vocabulary with exactly one v0 entry; an unrecognized token fails the parse rather than being dropped, because a silently ignored trigger presents as a provider whose declared upkeep simply never runs. `MemoryScheduledOpKind` is tagged by which key the entry declares, and `tool = "..."` is RECOGNIZED and REJECTED with its own message rather than falling through to an unknown-field error, so a manifest written against the eventual schema fails with intent. Both keys or neither are errors too. The wire shape and the parsed shape are separate types, so `MemoryScheduledOp` cannot be built from a manifest without clearing every per-op rule. Three bounds, each with its reason in a doc comment and a test: - `interval_turns >= 2` (`MIN_SCHEDULED_OP_INTERVAL_TURNS`) — a manifest declares work that runs on someone else's deployment at their expense, so it must not be able to demand per-turn invocation. `NonZeroU32` makes "every 0 turns" unrepresentable before the floor even applies. - `pass.max_model_calls <= 16` (`MAX_SCHEDULED_PASS_MODEL_CALLS`) — a pass is unwatched background spend with nobody reading the transcript. The nearai#7770 live test put the realistic curation need at 10. - At most one op per trigger — the host holds one interval counter per trigger per owner, so a second op has no well-defined cadence. Two rules need the whole manifest and land in `ironclaw_extension_registry::v3::validate_memory_scheduled_ops`, beside the existing `[admin_configuration]` cross-check and for the same reason — only that layer sees `[[tools]]` and the requested trust class next to `[memory]`: - A pass's `tools` must be ids the SAME manifest declares. Declaration is selection, never authority: a memory provider must not schedule passes wielding another extension's tools. - Only a first-party/system manifest may declare a pass op at all. A pass is a manifest-authored prompt running with write tools, as every user, on a schedule — a strictly larger grant than a model-chosen tool call, so it gets the same default-deny wall as the after-turn hook tiers. Host-bundled alone is not enough, pinned by a test that refuses a third-party-trust manifest from a host-bundled source. `scheduled_ops` is serde-defaulted and empty when absent, so every manifest written before it existed parses unchanged and schedules nothing (`memory_manifest_without_scheduled_ops_still_parses`, `scheduled_ops_absent_in_an_older_manifest_means_none`). `pass.prompt` reuses `guidance_doc`'s validated bundled-asset ref type; asset RESOLUTION stays host-side and fail-closed. The §11.2.3 contracts size ceiling moves 10_841 -> 11_451 for the declaration family and its inline tests, count read from the ratchet's own failure message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(memory): scheduled ops drive curation — native declares its pass, opt-in stays The declaration replaces the hardwired layer (nearai#7664 addendum v2): - memory-native's manifest declares its curation as `[[memory.scheduled_ops]]` (after_turn, recommended cadence 10, pass over its own three memory tools, max_model_calls 10 — the live-test calibration). The curation prompt moves into the package beside the guidance doc, exported through the same asset table, resolved host-side fail-closed. - `MemoryCurationService` dies; `MemoryScheduledOpRunner` is built FROM the resolved declaration (prompt text, tool ids, model-call ceiling), keeping the policy that was already pinned: per-owner counters, completed-only counting, the `memory-curation-` pass-id prefix as contract, the submitter seam, debug-only failure swallowing. The tool-op arm is unreachable-by-construction (leg A parse-rejects it) and says so explicitly. - Composition's native-only gate arm dies: the gate is now "did the bound provider declare an op" — a configured interval against a provider that declares nothing stays a startup error naming the provider. OPT-IN preserved (owner decision, 2026-08-22): the declaration ARMS upkeep — validated shape, resolved prompt, recommended cadence — and `[memory].curation_interval_turns` ENABLES it. Omitted = nothing runs, exactly as before this change; a manifest cannot switch on background token spend for a deployment that never asked. The config floor (>= 2) is now enforced at parse, where the operator can read why. Leg B built by a subagent (session-limited mid-flight), completed and re-verified from the worktree; opt-in flip + config validation + marker resolution by the orchestrator. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory): the curation prompt demands an explicit append:false — live-test v2 finding The declared-op live re-test (2026-08-23, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, fresh isolated home): the pass reached its structured report — the model_call_limit death from the first live test is fixed — but the model's FIRST write omitted append:false, transiently duplicating the document before it self-corrected with a proper replace two calls later. The prompt asked for one write; it never said which KIND. Now it does, with the consequence spelled out.

Summary
accept_inbound_messageingress path (real channel messages and trigger events). Two independent reviews found it behavior-preserving and, critically, the durable idempotency key byte-identical — had those bytes drifted, every existing idempotency record in production would have been orphaned and previously-accepted inbound messages would be re-accepted as new. Evidence is in Validation below. Review that hunk first.LoopInput(serialized whole into the durable run-queue document — one unparseable entry fails the entire run's queue) andProcessDependencyState(journal rows). Readers-before-writers is the mitigation, and it is the reason this slice exists separately (design record D13).PostCapabilityStage::drain_settled, whose doc promised aLoopBackgroundChildPortthat existed nowhere in the repo), and corrects the canonical design record against live code — it contained two claims that were simply false.Review response (round 1-3)
Branch is now 34 commits, 27 files changed, 4101 insertions(+), 474 deletions(-) — grown from the original +2,844 by review response, almost entirely tests plus one kernel simplification that was a net deletion.
Eleven review comments, all dispositioned. Three did not hold and were rejected with evidence in-thread rather than implemented.
Security fix — the most consequential change here. Child-agent output written as
MessageKind::Systemreaches the LLM provider's top-levelsystemfield (model_role_for_kind→ChatMessage::system→Role::System→convert_messages). Unframed, a prompt-injected child could have written the parent's system prompt. Framing is now enforced by type:FramedSubagentText, sole constructorframe(), noDeserialize, noFrom<String>, no public field. Red-proven by reducingframeto the identity function.Kernel simplification.
ProcessDependencyState::legal_predecessors()makes the delivery lifecycle a total relation the kernel owns, andexpectedwas dropped from the transition request entirely — the CAS now derives the precondition instead of trusting the caller's assertion. Only possible in this PR:TransitionDependencyis a journaled command with zero producers today, so no instance exists in any deployment; after the next slice it becomes a durable-format change. It deleted a peek, a wildcard predecessor selector, a bespokematches!, and four duplicated closed-state predicates.Design-record correction (D14). §4.1 prescribed binding the delivered row to a queue entry "exactly as steering rows do." That cannot work — the row is
System/Finalizedandensure_user_acceptedadmits onlyUserrows inAccepted/DeferredBusy/Queued, so the status flip fails permanently, retained flips consume the 32-entry cap, and the run eventually returnsCapacityExhaustedfor everything including human steering. The row is right; the doc was wrong. A crate-tier test now pins the refusal so the next slice meets it as a red test.Also:
store.rssplit back to 443 lines (below the 504 this PR started from); caller-level drain tests throughInputStage::process; a subagent-door race test; malformed-metadata fail-closed coverage; and every line-pinned citation this PR introduced converted to symbol names — three had already drifted within the branch.Change Type

A green PR does not prove they ran.Two local results that are NOT regressions from this branch, characterised so a reviewer does not chase them:
reborn_integration_tool_call::current_tool_surface_overrides_stale_assistant_unavailable_claimoverflows its stack in a debug build on this machine. It is pre-existing: it reproduces identically at the merge-base8fda17c59in a clean detached worktree with none of this branch's changes present. It is not infinite recursion — it passes withRUST_MIN_STACK=67108864. The other 37 tests in that binary pass, including both deny-filter pins.preflight-gates.shgate (charter: ironclaw_assistant) failed on alibsql-ffibuild error (BFD assertion failfrom the system assembler, missingsqlite3.o), not on an assertion. Re-run directly, that suite passes 297/297.Idempotency-key byte-identity evidence. The key is
sha256overserialize_pretty(InboundIdempotencyKey). All seven declarations in its dependency closure (InboundIdempotencyKey,ThreadScope,serialize_pretty,sha256_hex,idempotency_record_key,idempotency_record_path,InboundIdempotencyRecord) plus their derive attributes were extracted at bothdc165435dand43ef0113fand diffed: identical.contract.rsin that range is purely additive (25 insertions, 0 deletions), soThreadScope's wire shape cannot have drifted.Test Strategy
User behavior: No user-visible change.
builtin.spawn_subagentremains deny-filtered, so no model can reach the new surface; the ingress refactor preserves existing message-acceptance behavior.Risk areas:
Tests added or updated:
ProcessDependencyStatewire-spelling + historical-forms pins; the expected-state CAS matrix (idempotent replay vs illegal jump vs terminal-target refusal);AwaitEdgeStateprojection matrix; all seven historicalLoopInputwire tags; both drain modes for the new input;accept_subagent_resultacross both production backends including two fault-injection cases.reborn_integration_subagent_await_edge(the projection pin, unmodified) andreborn_integration_tool_call(the deny-filter pins, unmodified).Arc<dyn SessionThreadService>.What the tests prove: (1) every state the store can reach is also exitable, asserted end-to-end including that the deferred branch releases its reservation; (2) the new fields survive the projection against the blob shape production actually writes — an earlier revision was green only because its fixture seeded a shape production never produces, and the fixture now builds a real
AwaitedChildSetRecord; (3) both acceptance doors share one dedupe index and the system-class collision guard holds — proved non-vacuous by weakening each half on both backends, where deleting thekind != Systemguard makes the service return a user's message as a subagent result withidempotent_replay: true; (4) adding a hypothetical terminal dependency variant now yields exactly oneE0004, in the file that owns the paired reservation release.Commands run:

A child agent's delivered result is written as
MessageKind::System, neverMessageKind::User, so untrusted agent text can never be indistinguishable from a human instruction on the thread. Asserted on both backends and re-asserted afterload_context_messages, so a projection that silently reclassified the row would fail.actor_idisNone. The collision guard refusing a non-Systemrow for a subagent identity is now pinned by test.builtin.spawn_subagentstays indisabled_capability_ids; that file is untouched and its integration pins are unmodified.Reborn Trust-Boundary Checklist

Two persisted enums gain variants with no tolerant reader:
ProcessDependencyState(journal rows) andLoopInput(durable run-queue document, deserialized whole — one unparseable entry fails the whole run's queue). Nothing in this PR writes the new variants; the writers land in slice 2b. That ordering is the compatibility strategy: deploy this first so every binary can read the new forms before any binary emits them. Historical values are pinned by round-trip tests on both enums. No migrations; no schema change; no backend-specific behavior.Blast Radius
ironclaw_loop_contracts,ironclaw_agent_loop,ironclaw_processes,ironclaw_threads,ironclaw_turn_runner, one match arm each inironclaw_assistantandtools/ironclaw_stress, plus the design record.The one genuinely risky surface is the shared acceptance protocol in
filesystem_service.rs: it is on the live inbound path for channel and trigger messages. If it were wrong, the symptom would be duplicate or lost inbound messages under a crash between the idempotency claim and the row write. Everything else is unreachable at runtime — verified mechanically: no construction or call ofLoopInput::SubagentSettled,transition_process_dependency, the threeAwaitEdgeStoremethods, oraccept_subagent_resultexists outside#[cfg(test)].Rollback Plan
Revert the whole branch — safe at any time, because nothing writes the new persisted variants. If only the ingress refactor is suspect, revert
538dd05cband43ef0113f(plus their compile-fix arms indba5f41e9and32a8681dd); the inert slice stands alone without them. Do not ship slice 2b before this is deployed everywhere, or old binaries will meet variants they cannot parse.Review Follow-Through
Known and deliberate, carried to slice 2b rather than fixed here:
validate_subagent_acceptance_identitychecks emptiness only, while the repo's existing external-identity rule (ironclaw_extension_contracts/src/external.rs:12-32) also enforces a length cap and rejects control characters.source_binding_idlands verbatim in durable state, so those checks matter; latent today with no producer.record_attention's predecessor selector uses a_ =>wildcard overAwaitEdgeState— fail-closed, but a future legal predecessor is admitted silently rather than as a compile error.AwaitEdgeStore::closereturnsOk(())onResultAppended— a silent success that leaves the reservation held; should become a typed error once a producer exists.Settled -> Openon a record already carryingsettled_at). Unreachable with no producer; wants a forward-only assertion when 2b adds writers.filesystem_service.rsgrew 4,533 → ~4,899 lines against the standing "leave touched files no larger than found" rule, in a file already ~4.9× the 1k ceiling and already carrying submodules. The crash-safety-in-one-place argument for the shared helper is sound, but the file is moving the wrong way; anacceptancesubmodule is the natural home.538dd05cbis labelledrefactoryet tightens subagent-door recovery (rejecting a thread mismatch and a non-Systemrow). Disclosed in its own message; on the inert door only.Review track: C (security/runtime/DB)
