Summary

Three defect fixes plus one measurement hand-off, from a 3-principal Hive session.

Version: 0.46.1 -> 0.46.2 (defect repair, per the x.x.Z scheme).

#258 — bracket labels no longer discard the graph

Three defects, and one landmine the issue did not mention.

(a) Parse tolerance. extract_explicit_task_id split on the first colon and required the whole
candidate to be T+digits. [P1] T1: parsed only because extract_priority happened to strip
the token first; [P4], [Queen], [Operator] survived into the candidate and failed. The
candidate was also never trimmed, so T4 : failed too. Both are fixed, and the recognized
HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/P1-P3 tokens still strip to a priority exactly as before.

(b) Partial graphs are preserved. parse_plan_markdown_checked was discarding an
already-parsed plan whenever any diagnostic existed. mark_plan_ready now keeps every parsed node
and reports the failed lines as per-line omissions.

(c) The exemplars taught the failing pattern — in six places, not the two the issue cited. A
full sweep found four prompt builders plus two runtime generators, none sharing a constant. Two of
the four builders already omitted the bracket, so the other two were brought in line with that
existing precedent rather than inventing a convention. The two runtime generators were not
changed: their bracket comes from a HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW ladder that parses correctly today, so
they were verified and pinned with a test instead.

(d) The landmine. Fixing (b) alone converts a silent empty graph into a wedged session:
dropped tasks leave dangling edges, validate_plan_ready returns DanglingDependencies, and
continue_session propagates that as the authoritative exit from Planning — so the session cannot
leave Planning at all. Dangling edges are now quarantined into omissions before validation, holding
the invariant that mark_plan_ready returns Ok for any readable plan.md.

Note that this deliberately reverses a prior policy judgement. The existing test
explicit_graph_with_unidentified_checkbox_degrades_and_reports_it asserted an empty graph on
purpose, so that "an explicit graph cannot silently discard a schedulable checkbox". That concern is
still honoured — nothing disappears silently — but now by preserving the node and reporting the
omission rather than by discarding everything. The test's intent was rewritten, not just its numbers.

#259 — one bounded submit retry

classify_submit_confirmation already produced a confident negative and nothing consumed it. Now a
submit_confirmed == Some(false) triggers exactly one additional bare carriage return, and the
receipt reports submit_attempts.

Deliberately narrow:

  • Keyed strictly on Some(false). None (ambiguous) never retries — the tri-state exists so an
    ambiguous buffer is never upgraded, and the same restraint applies to acting on it.
  • Capped at one. On a composer where Enter is not idempotent, a false negative would otherwise
    double-run the agent's turn — materially worse than the "harmless blank line" framing in the
    issue. That risk is why the retry is bounded and why measurement precedes any widening.
  • The re-observation baseline is captured after the retry write, so the retry's own local echo
    cannot be misread as receiver activity.

#241 — re-scoped, intentionally left open

The v0.44.1 framing is stale: suggested fix 1 landed in #257 (the CR is now a discrete write outside
the envelope) and suggested fix 3 is documented. What remains undelivered is suggested fix 2
a test that injects once and asserts the receiver takes a turn without a second call — plus the
sweep matrix, which still reads UNMEASURED in all six cells. #241 now owns both.

#259 does not supersede it: a compensating retry changes the sender, not the measurement.

New defect found during this session — #260

While coordinating, the Queen's own injects reported submit_confirmed: true on four consecutive
calls while every payload sat unsubmitted in the target composers. The receivers were codex
processes mid-indexing, so the PTY ring was churning for unrelated reasons and the classifier read
that noise as confirmation.

This composes badly with the retry above: it keys on false, so a false true bypasses it
entirely
— and a busy receiver is the common case, because inject exists to interrupt working
agents. Filed as #260 and documented for agents; the classifier itself is deliberately unchanged
here to keep this PR scoped.

It also established an evidence asymmetry now written into the sweep methodology: the
"an operator at the terminal cannot verify an inject" rule constrains positive observations only.
No keypress can manufacture a non-submit, so "the text is still sitting there" is admissible
evidence even uncontrolled.

Validation

All five code tasks were verified by the Queen independently of the implementing principal, each
with a mutation check on a different line than the worker's own — a worker mutating the branch
it just wrote and reporting red is close to circular.

Check Result
cargo check --tests pass
cargo test pass
cargo clippy pass
codegraph rs gate no certain finding

Mutations run by the Queen, all red-then-green:

  • removed the id-extractor trim() -> the spaced-colon case failed
  • reverted a planner exemplar to [P1] T1 -> the emitted-prompt assertion failed
  • moved the retry observation baseline back before the retry write -> two inject tests failed
  • added a second CR to pty/session.rs — a file cargo test never compiles on Windows — and the
    source-parity guard caught it.
    That module is swapped for session_stub.rs under
    cfg(all(test, windows)), so a change made only in session.rs is invisible to the suite with CI
    fully green. The parity assertion is what makes that surface testable at all.

…bmit

Three defect fixes plus a measurement hand-off. Version 0.46.1 -> 0.46.2.

#258 - a single unrecognized bracket label discarded the entire work graph:
- extract_explicit_task_id now trims its candidate and tolerates one leading
  bracket label, so `[P4] T4:` and `T4 :` both resolve. Recognized priority
  tokens still strip exactly as before.
- mark_plan_ready keeps every parsed node and reports failed lines as
  omissions instead of throwing the whole graph away.
- Dangling dependencies and duplicate ids are quarantined into omissions so a
  malformed plan cannot wedge the Planning exit. Cycles and all six
  review-authority variants still propagate as Err - those are integrity
  guarantees, not plan syntax, and the match on PlanReadyError is exhaustive
  with no wildcard so a new variant is a compile error.
- Planner exemplars no longer teach the failing shape. Two of the four
  builders already omitted the bracket; the other two now match that
  precedent. The two runtime generators were verified and pinned, not changed.

#259 - inject detected a swallowed Enter and never acted on it. A confident
negative now triggers exactly one additional bare carriage return, and the
receipt reports submit_attempts. Keyed strictly on Some(false): an ambiguous
None never retries, and the cap of one bounds the double-execution risk on a
composer where Enter is not idempotent. The re-observation baseline is
captured after the retry write so its own local echo cannot read as activity.

#241 - re-scoped rather than closed. It now owns the receiver-side measurement
and the sweep matrix, which still reads UNMEASURED in all six cells. A
compensating retry changes the sender, not the measurement.

Also documents #260, found while running this session: submit_confirmed:true
false-positives against a busy receiver, which silently bypasses the retry
above.

Gates: cargo check --tests, cargo test (865 passed), cargo clippy, and the
codegraph rs gate (146 modules, 0 findings) all pass.

Walkthrough

The change improves work-graph recovery for imperfect plans and adds one bounded retry for failed PTY submissions. It updates planner syntax, validation tests, operational guidance, and application versions.

Changes

Planner and graph recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Planner syntax and task parsing
src-tauri/src/session/controller.rs, src-tauri/src/actions/coordination.rs, src-tauri/src/http/tests.rs
Planner prompts allow optional priority labels and free-form labels. Task parsing accepts leading bracket labels and preserves legacy checkbox parsing.
Partial graph recovery and quarantine
src-tauri/src/orchestrator/work_graph/*, src-tauri/src/session/controller.rs, src-tauri/src/http/tests_wg_plan.rs
Plan loading preserves parsed nodes and records omissions. Duplicate nodes and dangling dependencies are quarantined. Critical validation failures still block PlanReady.

PTY submission reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
PTY submit retry flow
src-tauri/src/pty/*, src-tauri/src/http/handlers/inject.rs
Submit writes use a shared carriage-return primitive. Injection routes serialize transactions and retry once after a definitive negative observation. Responses include attempt, byte, and retry-failure metrics.
Operational documentation and release alignment
docs/pty-submit-sweep.md, src-tauri/src/session/controller.rs, package.json, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
Sweep rules and injection guidance describe retry-aware timing, evidence, remediation, and limitations. Versions change to 0.46.2.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fd25c

The PR preserves partial work graphs and adds one bounded submit retry, with the supplied checks passing. It is mergeable with owner awareness because retry receipts need clearer timing and attempt-count semantics to prevent incorrect consumer or monitoring behavior, and test-only retry hooks should be cleaned up to avoid cross-test contamination.

⚠️ Action not completed

Review rate limited.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

An adversarial review of 56727fb found six defects that CI could not see.
Five are fixed here; one is deferred to a follow-up issue.

HIGH - a duplicate task id manufactured a cycle and wedged the session.
quarantine_duplicate_nodes retained only nodes and never touched edges, so a
duplicate declaration left its edges behind. Those edges were not dangling
either, because the id still existed via the first declaration. A plan
declaring T1, then T2 (deps: T1), then a duplicate T1 (deps: T2) produced both
T1->T2 and T2->T1 - a cycle, which propagates as Err and blocks the Planning
exit. That is the exact failure #258 exists to prevent. Deduplication now runs
before the graph is built, so a duplicate declaration contributes neither a
node nor an edge, and is still reported as an omission.

MEDIUM - every legacy checkbox plan was reported as fully omitted. Removing the
explicit-id diagnostic gate made the missing-stable-id diagnostic fire for each
task in a plan with no explicit ids. Positional ids are a supported mode, so a
healthy legacy plan was labelled ResolutionIncomplete with one omission per
task. The gate is restored.

MEDIUM - a delayed retry could submit a different request's staged text. The
PTY writer mutex protects each write, not the write-observe-retry transaction,
so request A's retry could submit text that request B had staged with
submit:false. A per-agent async mutex now serializes the whole transaction on
all three inject routes. It is acquired before any PTY lock and is never held
across an await.

MEDIUM - a failed retry discarded a successful injection. The retry write's
error propagated as HTTP 500, skipping the receipt and the submission record
even though the payload and initial Enter had already landed, inviting a caller
retry to duplicate the command. A failed retry is now receipt evidence
(submit_retry_failed, submit_retry_failure); only the initial write still errors.

LOW - the agent-facing prompt stated pre-retry timing. Two quiet windows take
roughly 3000 ms, not 1500 ms, and the reported elapsed covered only the final
window. The elapsed is now cumulative and the prompt matches it.

Deferred: omission deduplication is not idempotent across a PlanReady retry
that partially persisted. It requires a persistence failure between two writes
and is tracked separately.

Gates: 869 tests pass (up from 865), cargo clippy exit 0, codegraph 146 modules
0 findings.

Clean up unconsumed retry hooks.

before_submit_retry_hooks removes entries only when the retry path consumes them. If a test exits earlier, a stale hook can affect a later request or a new AppState at a reused address. Use a stable AppState identity and remove hooks on every test exit, such as with an RAII cleanup guard. The transaction lock map prunes dead Weak entries, so this concern does not apply to injection_transaction_lock.

Comment thread src-tauri/src/http/handlers/inject.rs
CodeRabbit finding, adjudicated and confirmed against the code.

- `submit_confirmation_elapsed_ms` became cumulative across attempts
  (inject.rs:267) while `submit_confirmation_window_ms` stayed per attempt, so
  after a retry the elapsed value can approach 3,000 ms and legitimately exceed
  the reported window. A consumer computing `elapsed / window` or asserting
  `elapsed <= window` breaks. The sweep doc did not say so.
- `submit_attempts += 1` sits inside the retry's Ok arm (inject.rs:258), so a
  failed retry write leaves it at `1`. The doc defined `1` as "the initial Enter
  was not confidently rejected", which misses that case. `1` now documents both
  cases and points at `submit_retry_failed` to distinguish them.

Scope note: the agent-facing prompt in controller.rs was already accurate on
both points ("cumulative time spent in every completed confirmation window", and
`1` defined as "one Enter was written"). Only the sweep doc had drifted, so this
is documentation-only and no test pin changes.

Same defect class as review finding 5 in the previous commit - a receipt field
whose documented meaning drifted from its behaviour.

Adjudication of the CodeRabbit review

Both findings verified against the code before acting.

1. submit_confirmation_elapsed_ms / submit_attempts contract — CONFIRMED, fixed in 4776933

Both halves were real:

  • inject.rs:267 makes elapsed cumulative while submit_confirmation_window_ms stays per-attempt, so elapsed <= window no longer holds after a retry.
  • submit_attempts += 1 sits inside the retry's Ok arm (inject.rs:258), so a failed retry write leaves it at 1.

Scoping correction to the finding: the agent-facing prompt in controller.rs was already accurate on both points — "cumulative time spent in every completed confirmation window", and 1 defined as "one Enter was written" (still true when a retry write fails). Only docs/pty-submit-sweep.md had drifted. Documentation-only; no test pin changed.

Worth noting this is the same defect class as review finding 5 in the previous commit — a receipt field whose documented meaning drifted from its behaviour. Fixing that one introduced this one.

2. Unconsumed before_submit_retry_hooks — ACCEPTED, deliberately DEFERRED

The concern is real: the map removes entries only when the retry path consumes them, so a test exiting early leaves a stale hook that a later AppState at a reused address could pick up.

Deferred rather than fixed, with reasons stated rather than implied:

  • The map is #[cfg(all(test, windows))] — test-only, Windows-only, no production reachability.
  • It has a single registrant today (the concurrency negative-control test).
  • The failure mode is a confusing test flake, not a defect in shipped behaviour.
  • The fix is an RAII-guard refactor of the exact test scaffolding that currently proves the cross-submit race. Touching it at release close-out risks the evidence for a MEDIUM fix in order to harden a Trivial one.

CodeRabbit's own note that the Weak-pruning injection_transaction_lock map does not have this problem is correct — that one self-prunes on every call.


For context on what this PR already absorbed: CodeRabbit was rate-limited through the first review window, so a read-only adversarial reviewer was run as a substitute gate, briefed to refute seven specific claims rather than to "review". It returned six findings — one HIGH (a duplicate task id manufactured a dependency cycle and wedged the Planning exit, the exact failure #258 exists to prevent), three MEDIUM, two LOW. Five were fixed in fd25cab; the sixth is tracked as #262.
