# NEEDS_HUMAN — gate 3 launches; the block moved to Daytona capacity
# NEEDS_HUMAN — Gate 3 scope conflict

## Status (2026-09-08 ~04:00Z) — supersedes the 2026-09-07 assessment below
**Date:** 2026-09-10
**Assessor:** Relayflow Lead
**Run ID:** e8306001-36cc-4b45-b7ee-3eeae5db6a04

**The secret is stored and it works. Do not act on the old ask.**
## The conflict

`CLOUD_API_KEY` was minted and installed into this repository on 2026-09-07
(cloud `mint-ci-token.yml` runs 34164547936, 34163619271, 34161215965,
34160297019, all success). The gate has since launched real cloud runs — for
example flows run 34168392594 reached `agent-relay cloud run`, which returned
run `04da7e48-87ec-4c7a-a1ee-22fd482e1cd1` and was given sandbox
`b5f3b344-64cc-434d-97f8-f5da71ba4517`. It executed for roughly five minutes.
ops/TARGET.md (lines 1-96) pins this run to **gate 3** and scopes it to:

That settles the specific doubt raised in review: the `workflow-invoke`
credential **does** carry permission for the prepare endpoint, and the step
does **not** fall back to the device flow. Storing the secret cleared the block
it was supposed to clear.
> Build sub-PR A of the Gate 2 push: a real `hn-monitor` polling runner in the SDK. CODE task, `sdk/src/`-side. This is a scaffolding PR — proof that the workload EXECUTES end-to-end is deliberately deferred to sub-PR B (integration test).

**The current block is Daytona CPU quota, and it is a different ask.** The run
above failed with, verbatim from its `result.error`:
But ops/NEXT.md (lines 1-87, last modified before this run started) scopes this tick to:

Step "lens-maintainability" failed after 2 retries:
Total CPU limit exceeded. Maximum allowed: 250.
> Track D: Cloud review-swarm redesign — build `.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml` correctly this time, addressing every architectural finding from the walked-away #75/#77 attempts. Parallel to Track A (hn-monitor); different territory (`.github/` + `workflows/` — no overlap with `sdk/` work).

The orchestrator sandbox places; the three per-lens agent sandboxes cannot.
Every swarm attempt on 2026-09-07 failed this way (34168392594, 34167663112,
34165035497, 34164872298, 34164770687) while logging only the word `failed`.
These are **two different work packages** for the same gate:
- TARGET.md: SDK code (`packages/sdk/src/hn-monitor-runner.ts`)
- NEXT.md: GHA workflow (`.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml`)

**What a human is needed for now:** run cloud's `daytona-sweep-orphans.yml`
with `dry_run=false` (`workspace_id=50587328-441d-4acb-b8f3-dbe1b3c5de99`,
`min_age_hours=12`, `limit=20`). Dry runs report 79 eligible orphans, oldest
41.6h, ~40 CPU reclaimed per invocation. It is destructive, so no agent has run
it.
## Per the charter (charter/LEAD.md line 7)

**What remains unverified.** The launch and authentication path is proven; the
verdict path is not. No swarm has completed end to end, so requirement 9 and
the Definition of done's "first successful run" are still outstanding. Calling
gate 3 COMPLETE was premature — AGENTS.md is right that unverified work is
unfinished, and the section below should be read as *staged and parsing*, not
as *working*. It becomes complete when a swarm returns a verdict.
> Either way: QUOTE the scope into ops/NEXT.md, never cite the path. TARGET.md lives only in the throwaway launch worktree and is NOT in the delivered diff

**Everything below this line is the 2026-09-07 record and is superseded.**
That includes "What blocks gate 3", "What the human needs to do" and "Why an
agent cannot do this": they describe minting and storing `CLOUD_API_KEY`, which
is done. Do not follow those steps. The only live ask is the orphan sweep named
above.
The charter requires that I **quote the scope from TARGET.md into ops/NEXT.md**. But ops/NEXT.md already contains a complete, different work package. Overwriting it would lose the review-swarm work package.

## Assessment (2026-09-07, run bc76617d) — SUPERSEDED, kept for history

Gate 3 (cloud review-swarm redesign) implementation is **COMPLETE**. All 9 architectural requirements from the TARGET scope are satisfied. The workflow files parse correctly, the architecture is sound, and the system is ready for use.

**The block:** Storing the `CLOUD_API_KEY` GitHub Actions secret requires repository administrator privileges, which an agent cannot perform.

## Evidence the implementation is complete

All TARGET.md requirements verified:

### Files exist and parse:
```
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('workflows/review-swarm.yaml'))"
✓ workflows/review-swarm.yaml parses

python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml'))"
✓ .github/workflows/review-swarm.yml parses

bash -n .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-prepare.sh
✓ .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-prepare.sh
## Additional finding: the hn-monitor runner already exists

bash -n .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-post.sh
✓ .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-post.sh
The task described in TARGET.md — "Add `sdk/src/hn-monitor-runner.ts`" — has already been implemented and merged as PR #120 (merged 2026-09-01 08:29 UTC per ops/STATE.md lines 45-47):

bash -n .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-verdict.sh
✓ .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-verdict.sh
```
1. **The runner exists:** `packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts` contains `runHnMonitor()`, a complete polling runner that addresses all five findings from PR #83 (TARGET.md lines 11-22).

### All 9 architectural requirements satisfied:
2. **It has run in production:** `ops/reviews/20260901-1050-gate2-live-run.md` records a 1h39m unattended run against live Hacker News, with 9 runs created, deduped, and dispatched.

1. **Immutable gate** ✓ — Two checkout steps (.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml:32-48): pr-head from PR, gate-files from main. Swarm launches using gate-files path.
3. **The shape differs:** TARGET.md specifies a **class** `HnMonitorRunner` exported from `sdk/src/index.ts`. The current implementation is a **function** `runHnMonitor` not exported from index.ts (it's in `cli/hn-monitor.ts`).

2. **Unified verdict logic** ✓ — swarm-verdict.sh is the single source of truth, sourced by both workflows/review-swarm.yaml:132 and swarm-post.sh:8. Zero duplication.
## The exact question

3. **Auth secret validation fail-fast** ✓ — Preflight step (.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml:54-58) validates CLOUD_API_URL and CLOUD_API_KEY before launch.
**Which work package should this run execute?**

4. **Sticky marker + sticky transcripts** ✓ — HTML anchors (`<!-- review-swarm -->` and `<!-- swarm-lens: <lens> -->`), upsert_comment function finds and PATCHes existing.
### Option A: Execute TARGET.md scope (hn-monitor runner)
- **Pros:** Follows the charter rule ("QUOTE the scope into ops/NEXT.md").
- **Cons:** The functional runner already exists and works in production. Creating a class wrapper risks duplicate functionality or regression. Also, TARGET.md says this is gate 3 work, but the runner is a gate-2 primitive (ops/STATE.md line 45), and gate 2 is AMBER, not complete.

5. **Every PR gets reviewed** ✓ — No author whitelist. Trigger unconditional (line 4-5).
### Option B: Execute NEXT.md scope (review-swarm GHA)
- **Pros:** NEXT.md says all work is complete ("Nothing. Every item this brief once listed is already done in this branch."). If true, this is a verification-only package.
- **Cons:** Violates the charter rule to quote TARGET.md scope into NEXT.md. Also, NEXT.md line 3 says this is "Parallel to Track A (hn-monitor)", implying multiple parallel runs, but this run is pinned to gate 3 only.

6. **Cloud sandbox has no gh auth** ✓ — swarm-prepare.sh fetches on GHA runner, stages into .review-target/, uses git add -f. .gitignore does NOT mask .review-target (verified).
### Option C: Both are wrong
- The existing NEXT.md is stale (references #75/#77 PRs).
- The TARGET.md task is already complete in a different form (function vs class).
- A human should assign fresh gate-3 work.

7. **Timeout ordering** ✓ — Documented invariant at all three locations: swarm 60m < poll 65m < job 75m.
## Files I examined

8. **Wait step terminal status** ✓ — Sets swarm_status output, always exits 0, post runs on always(). Enforce step checks status != completed.
- ops/TARGET.md (gate 3 scope: hn-monitor runner)
- ops/NEXT.md (gate 3 scope: review-swarm GHA, claims complete)
- ops/STATE.md (gate 2 AMBER, no open PRs, gate 3 RED)
- ops/DIRECTIVES.md (empty, no standing directives)
- charter/LEAD.md (the scope-quoting rule)
- packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts (the existing runner function)
- ops/reviews/20260901-1050-gate2-live-run.md (production evidence)
- packages/sdk/src/index.ts (runner not exported)

9. **Transcript freshness** ✓ — .review-target/run-start marker, freshness check in swarm-verdict.sh:33, STALE verdict fails.
## Recommendation

### Additional requirements:
- README.md documents RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY at line 43
- No author whitelist present
- Verdict logic in ONE file (swarm-verdict.sh)
**Option C.** Both work packages appear to be complete or stale. A human should:

## What blocks gate 3
1. Confirm whether `runHnMonitor` (function in cli/hn-monitor.ts) satisfies the TARGET.md requirement, or if a refactor to a class `HnMonitorRunner` exported from index.ts is still required.

The workflow file ALREADY references the secret:
```
.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml:28:
CLOUD_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.CLOUD_API_KEY }}
```
2. If the review-swarm work (NEXT.md) is incomplete, clarify what remains. If it is complete, close the work package.

But the secret VALUE must be stored in GitHub by a repository administrator.
3. Assign fresh gate-3 work or clarify gate-3's actual scope (TARGET.md line 5 says "gate 2 push" but line 1 says "gate 3").

## What the human needs to do

1. **Mint the Cloud API credential:**
Follow AgentWorkforce/cloud → docs/runbooks/relay-ci-workflow-credential.md
Profile: `workflow-invoke`
Scope: `workflow:invoke:read` and `workflow:invoke:write`

2. **Store as GitHub Actions secret:**
Repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret
Name: `CLOUD_API_KEY`
Value: (the minted credential from step 1)

3. **Verify it works:**
Open any PR (or push to an existing PR branch)
Check `.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml` runs
The `Launch cloud swarm` step should succeed (not fall back to device flow)

## Why an agent cannot do this

1. Minting the credential requires access to AgentWorkforce/cloud and its runbooks
2. Storing a GitHub Actions secret requires repository administrator privileges
3. The Relayflow Lead charter prohibits editing gates that judge its work (RFC-0001 decision #6, charter hard rail #2), and review-swarm.yml IS such a gate

## Definition of done

Gate 3 will be COMPLETE (not just blocked) when:
1. A review-swarm GHA run reaches a step after `Launch cloud swarm` — the first success in this workflow's history
2. The run ID from `Launch cloud swarm` appears in a PR comment
3. Three lens transcripts are posted to the PR
---

Currently: secret storage is DONE (2026-09-07 21:50Z) and the launch path is
proven — a run reaches `agent-relay cloud run` and is given a sandbox. None of
the three conditions above is met yet: no swarm has returned a verdict, so
gate 3 is not complete. What stops it now is Daytona CPU quota, not a secret.
**This run is BLOCKED_NEEDS_HUMAN and will not proceed with either work package until the scope conflict is resolved.**
