From ff3194d16351a47ec3fa19d42b305230d39ac30f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Relayflow Lead Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 10:31:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drive: cloud run a4980bfe Work produced by cloud run a4980bfe-add7-4c72-8fb9-1e4662e3d1cc in a workflow sandbox and delivered from this host, because a sandbox has no remote and no GitHub token.

CODE task, SDK-side. The picker EMITS a work package (sdk/src/backlog-picker.ts + testdata/backlog-picker.flow.yaml, merged, four tested properties) and NOTHING consumes it — that is the missing half. Build the consumer: an SDK entrypoint taking an emitted package and turning it into something runnable, validating it has a title, a non-empty scope and a definition of done, and REFUSING with a typed reason when it does not, because a package that cannot be verified must not become work. NOTE: two previous attempts (ee5c9b3e, 06c0d6ab) did this correctly and their files were LOST before delivery by a platform fault — the build sandbox's .git points at a directory that does not exist, so writes cannot be captured. You are not duplicating live work. ## Objective -Gate 3 per RFC-0001 §3 is "a relayflow can power a factory → Software Garden."

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Review caught that the two halves of the Garden did not fit. The picker emitted {title, description, files_in_scope, gate}; the consumer required definition_of_done, which the picker never produced. So the consumer would have refused EVERY real package and the loop could never accept anything — the join existed on paper only. The picker now derives definition_of_done from the entry: backticked spans that look like commands rather than paths. That matches how the backlog is actually written, and it means an entry naming no way to verify itself is correctly refused rather than silently accepted. A backlog entry that cannot be checked is not yet a work package. The canonical spec is regenerated alongside the yaml — the spec is what the kernel consumes, and a fix landing only in the yaml never reaches what runs. The new test runs the flow's ACTUAL emit-package command and feeds its output to the consumer, so the two shapes cannot drift apart again without failing here. It covers both directions: an entry naming a command is accepted; one with scope but no command is refused with exactly missing_definition_of_done. Verified: sdk 171 passed, tsc --noEmit clean.
