 # NEXT — work package for this tick
 
-**Scope:** Build a minimal agent worker in the SDK. CODE task, SDK-side.
-
-This run is pinned to **gate 3** and must not work on any other gate.
+**Target gate: Gate 2** (Build sub-PR A of the Gate 2 push: a real `hn-monitor` polling runner in the SDK)
 
 ## Objective
 
-Promote the throwaway worker the tests already build into a real SDK component
-that can execute agent steps by running their declared CLI as a subprocess.
+Build `sdk/src/hn-monitor-runner.ts` that composes existing pieces (JournalClient, AgentWorker, pollHackerNewsOnce) into a continuous polling runner. This is sub-PR A of the gate-2 work: proof that the RUNNER exists and its unit tests hold. Integration testing (proof the workload EXECUTES end-to-end) is explicitly deferred to sub-PR B.
+
+## Context from TARGET.md
+
+RFC-0001 §3 gate 2 is done when "hn-monitor runs as a relayflow in production, triggered by its real events, with zero bespoke persistence." Every primitive already exists:
+- Event triggers (PR #14, `kernel/relayflowd/tests/event_wake.rs`)
+- Flow spec (`testdata/hn-monitor.flow.yaml`)
+- Poller (`sdk/src/hn-poller.ts`)
+- Agent worker (`sdk/src/worker.ts` from PR #53)
+- One-shot demo (`sdk/src/demo-hn-monitor.ts`)
+
+But nothing has ever run them together as a continuous workload. This PR fixes that.
+
+## Prior attempt (PR #83, closed)
+
+PR #83 produced a functional runner but was rejected by the swarm on five real findings. This attempt must address all five:
 
-## Context
+1. **Fail-closed on journal errors.** Split error handling: `try { fetch } catch { onFetchError }` around the network call (swallow network flakiness), `try { eventSubmit } catch { rethrow }` around the journal call (journal failures MUST throw and terminate).
 
-Nothing in this repo can execute an agent step. Searching for `workerAttach` /
-`step.complete` finds only TESTS (`sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts`,
-`journal-client.test.ts`, `journal-client-loopback.ts`) and the protocol
-definitions. `sdk/src/cli/run.ts` only OBSERVES worker leases and waits for one
-that never arrives.
+2. **AgentWorker.close() must release the worker (or explicitly document it does not).** Either add a `workerRelease` verb to `sdk/src/protocol.ts` and call it from `close()`, OR add a one-line comment on `close()` naming exactly what shutdown intentionally does NOT do.
 
-The kernel's dispatch, lease and claim machinery is real and tested. The worker
-side of the protocol is simply unimplemented, and that is what blocks gate 2
-("a workload RUNS as a relayflow" — today a run can only be shown CREATED) and
-gate 3 ("every claim/lease/retry served by the kernel").
+3. **Class field declaration order.** Declare ALL fields at the top of the class body, before the constructor (prevents silent breakage if someone adds `= someDefault`).
 
-`sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts` around the `live-manual-agent` case (line 288)
-shows the whole shape: connect, `hello`, `workerAttach` with pins, receive
-`step.dispatch`, act, complete. The protocol is already proven there.
+4. **Signal handlers must be opt-in via AbortSignal.** Accept `signal?: AbortSignal` in options; the CLI wrapper (sub-PR C) can create + wire a process-signal-driven AbortController. A library user embedding this must be able to cancel one runner without affecting others.
+
+5. **Test coverage for pollError branch.** Add tests asserting: loop survives a fetcher throw AND loop TERMINATES on a journal throw. Without them, someone regresses `onPollError` to a no-op and every test still passes.
 
 ## Files in scope
 
-- `sdk/src/worker.ts` — new file, the worker implementation
-- `sdk/src/index.ts` — export the worker
-- `sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts` OR a new test file — add a test that runs a
-  real flow with an agent step end to end against a live `relayflowd`, with
-  this worker attached, and asserts the step reaches `done`.
+- `sdk/src/hn-monitor-runner.ts` — new file, the continuous runner
+- `sdk/src/worker.ts` — MAY modify `close()` per finding #2, but do NOT rewrite the attach/dispatch/complete flow (PR #53 is merged)
+- `sdk/src/protocol.ts` — if adding `workerRelease`, matching request/response definitions
+- `sdk/src/index.ts` — export `HnMonitorRunner`
+- `sdk/tests/hn-monitor-runner.test.ts` — unit tests (NOT end-to-end integration; that's sub-PR B)
+
+## Definition of done (ALL must hold)
+
+1. `sdk/src/hn-monitor-runner.ts` exists, exports `HnMonitorRunner` from `sdk/src/index.ts`
+
+2. The runner composes existing pieces:
+   - Constructs a `JournalClient` connected to the running `relayflowd` socket
+   - Constructs an `AgentWorker` and calls `workerAttach()` for `agent` steps — attach BEFORE first poll (a run parked because no worker attached is only revived by `run.resume`)
+   - Loops: `pollHackerNewsOnce(spec, sink)` → sleep `POLL_INTERVAL_MS` (env-configurable, default 60000 = 60s) → repeat
+   - Exit cleanly on `AbortSignal.abort` (drain in-flight steps, close client, release worker per finding #2)
+
+3. Keep it small and honest:
+   - Worker must attach BEFORE the first poll
+   - Poller layer handles single-fetch failures with a typed error; the loop just moves to the next tick — but journal errors MUST fail the runner (finding #1)
+   - No scheduling logic beyond the sleep (kernel owns retry and dedupe policy)
+   - No LLM calls; the runner is glue, not a reviewer
 
-## Definition of done
+4. `sdk/src/worker.ts` — either `close()` calls `workerRelease` (add to protocol.ts if missing), OR a one-line comment names what close() intentionally does NOT do
 
-ALL of the following must hold:
+5. `sdk/tests/hn-monitor-runner.test.ts` covers ALL of these:
+   - Fake fetch + mock journal client → runner submits an event on each tick
+   - Abort signal triggers clean shutdown within one tick (worker released or documented)
+   - Worker attach happens before first poll
+   - **Fetch throw → loop survives** (onPollError called, next tick still runs)
+   - **Journal throw → loop TERMINATES** (runner.run() rejects with the error)
 
-1. The worker in `sdk/src/worker.ts`, exported from `sdk/src/index.ts`
+6. `cd sdk && npm test` green (pretest hook builds the kernel automatically). Paste the literal command and output tail showing test counts.
 
-2. A test that runs a real flow with an agent step end to end against a live
-   `relayflowd`, with this worker attached, and asserts the step reaches
-   `done`. `sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts` already starts a daemon — follow
-   that pattern.
+7. EVERY new test confirmed to FAIL against current code (comment out the source; the test fails), with the literal failing output pasted in summary.
 
-3. **The worker must attach BEFORE the run starts.** A run that finds no worker
-   parks, and attaching afterwards does not re-drive it — `run.resume` is what
-   picks a parked run back up. That contract is pinned in the live-kernel
-   suite; do not fight it.
+8. As LAST action, run `git status --porcelain` and paste it.
 
-4. The worker must:
-   - attach for `agent` steps with the pins it holds
-   - on `step.dispatch`, run the step's declared `cli` as a subprocess
-   - report the result back through the existing protocol (`step.complete`, and
-     the failure path when the CLI exits nonzero)
-   - nothing speculative: no retries of its own, no scheduling, no LLM calls.
-     The kernel owns retry and lease policy — do not reimplement it.
+## Explicit non-goals for THIS PR (belongs to later sub-PRs)
 
-5. `cd sdk && npm test` must be green. Run it and paste the literal command and
-   output tail showing test counts.
+- **Proving the workload actually executes end-to-end** (dispatch → step complete). That is sub-PR B (integration test with real relayflowd + fake HN fetch + assert step reaches `done`). This PR ONLY proves the runner assembles and its unit tests hold.
+- **CLI wrapper** (`flows hn-monitor start`). That is sub-PR C.
+- **ops/STATE.md gate-2 GREEN declaration**. That is sub-PR D.
 
-6. `cd kernel && sh ../ops/cargo.sh test` must be green. Run it and paste the
-   literal command and output tail showing test counts.
+Say all three explicitly in the PR body so the history lens doesn't reject on "runner doesn't prove workload runs."
 
-7. EVERY new test confirmed to FAIL against current code, with the literal
-   failing output quoted in the summary.
+## Explicitly OUT of scope — DO NOT TOUCH
 
-8. As your LAST action, run `git status --porcelain` and paste it.
+- `.github/workflows/*` — no GHA changes
+- `kernel/*` — the kernel side of gate 2 already works via PR #14
+- `workflows/*.yaml` — those are for later sub-PRs
+- `ops/AUTODRIVE_BRIEF.md` — chief owns this file, not the drive loop
+- CLI wrapper — sub-PR C, separate PR
+- End-to-end integration test with real relayflowd — sub-PR B, separate PR
+- ops/STATE.md gate-2 declaration — sub-PR D, separate PR
 
-## Explicitly OUT of scope
+## Current state analysis
 
-- LLM steps — not in the gate 3 scope
-- Retry logic in the worker — the kernel owns retry policy
-- Scheduling or lease management — the kernel owns lease policy
-- Optimizations, abstractions, or speculative features
-- Changes to the kernel
-- Changes to existing tests (except adding new test cases)
-- Work on any gate other than gate 3
+ASSESSED: The repository is in a cloud sandbox with no git history. Based on the file structure:
 
-## If blocked
+- `sdk/src/worker.ts` EXISTS (PR #53 merged) — the AgentWorker is complete
+- `sdk/src/hn-poller.ts` EXISTS — the polling logic is done
+- `sdk/src/demo-hn-monitor.ts` EXISTS — a one-shot demo
+- `sdk/src/hn-monitor-runner.ts` DOES NOT EXIST — this is what needs to be built
+- `sdk/tests/` has 203 tests passing
 
-If gate 3 is genuinely unreachable from the current state, write
-ops/NEEDS_HUMAN.md saying exactly why and still end with ASSESS_DONE. Do not
-silently substitute different work: a run that reports progress on the wrong
-gate is worse than one that reports it is blocked.
+The work package is BUILDABLE from the current state. All dependencies exist.
