# NEEDS_HUMAN — Conflicting Work Package Context
# NEEDS_HUMAN — TARGET.md scope already complete, gate 3 needs definition

**Situation:** This run has conflicting scope context that requires human clarification.
**Situation:** TARGET.md describes work that is already merged. Gate 3 work package needs human definition.

## The Conflict
## The Core Issue

1. **ops/TARGET.md says:** Gate 3, build hn-monitor runner (sub-PR A), `sdk/src/` code task
2. **ops/NEXT.md says:** Gate 3, cloud review-swarm preflight validation, `.github/workflows/` task
3. **These are completely different tasks** — one is SDK code (track A per TARGET), one is GitHub Actions (track D per NEXT)
**ops/TARGET.md** (line 1) says "gate 3" but describes gate-2 work (hn-monitor runner, sub-PR A) that was **merged in PR #120 on 2026-09-01**.

## Evidence
The hn-monitor runner exists at `packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts` (288 lines) with all five findings from closed PR #83 addressed:

**ops/TARGET.md line 1-5:**
```
# TARGET — gate 3
1. ✅ Fail-closed on journal errors (lines 254-268)
2. ✅ AgentWorker.close() drains workers (lines 275-278)
3. ✅ Field declaration order (functional approach, not class-based)
4. ✅ AbortSignal opt-in (lines 59-60, 127-142)
5. ✅ Test coverage (`tests/cli-hn-monitor.test.ts`, 15420 bytes)

This run is pinned to **gate 3** and must not work on any other gate.
**ops/STATE.md** (lines 44-47) confirms:
> PR #120 (`201542a`, merged 2026-09-01 08:29 UTC) —
> **`flows hn-monitor start`**, the CLI runner that turns the poller
> into an unattended process.

**Scope:** Build sub-PR A of the Gate 2 push: a real `hn-monitor` polling runner in the SDK. CODE task, `sdk/src/`-side.
```
## What RFC-0001 §3 says gate 3 actually is

**ops/NEXT.md line 1-3:**
```
# NEXT — gate 3: complete cloud review-swarm preflight validation and documentation
Gate 3 is **Software Garden** — the full issue-to-PR pipeline:

**Scope:** Track D: Cloud review-swarm redesign — build `.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml` correctly this time
```
> **Gate 3 — a relayflow can power a factory → Software Garden**
>
> **Proves:** the flagship DAG. Discover → implement → review → merge-gate → close, on kernel leases instead of factory's ~10 hand-rolled claim protocols.
>
> **Done when:** a labeled issue flows to a reviewed PR end-to-end with every claim/lease/retry served by the kernel, the merge gate holding (no auto-merge without opt-in), and the run legible in the journal — while the customer-facing config surface mentions none of it.

This is a **multi-component, multi-PR gate** involving:
- Factory claim protocol migration to kernel leases
- Discover → implement → review → merge-gate → close pipeline
- Journal-backed run tracking
- Merge gate enforcement
- Customer-facing surface design

This is **not** a single work package. It requires phased planning.

## Why I cannot proceed

Charter instructions say:

## The Charter Says
> "Then write ops/NEXT.md: the SINGLE highest-priority work package toward the current gate (gate 1 until its done-when in RFC-0001 §3 holds)."

Per charter/LEAD.md (the instruction I received):
- "Read ops/TARGET.md if it exists" — it does, says hn-monitor
- "Then read ops/STATE.md, ops/DIRECTIVES.md" — done
- "Then write ops/NEXT.md: the SINGLE highest-priority work package toward the current gate"
I cannot write a work package for TARGET.md's scope because **it is already complete**. I cannot start gate 3 without human direction on which component to build first.

But ops/NEXT.md ALREADY EXISTS with different work.
## Gate 2 is AMBER, not GREEN

## Additional Context Found
Per ops/STATE.md lines 59-81, gate 2 has two open clauses:

**ops/STATE.md gate 2 block (lines 39-81)** says:
- PR #120 merged 2026-09-01 — `flows hn-monitor start` CLI runner
- Gate 2 is AMBER, not GREEN
- Two clauses remain: trigger-plane liveness, analyze-agent execution
1. **Trigger plane liveness-checked** — RelayCron-style deterministic-id single-winner claim + stale_after sweep. The poller runs; the kernel doesn't notice if it stops.

**Actual file check:**
- `packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts` exists (288 lines)
- Contains `runHnMonitor` function implementing all TARGET.md requirements
- Addresses all five findings from closed PR #83
2. **The analyze-agent step actually executing** — In the recorded live run (ops/reviews/20260901-1050-gate2-live-run.md), every step ended in `worker_error` because the AgentWorker has no user-supplied step handler. The dispatch loop works; the analyzer doesn't.

ops/STATE.md line 74-76 says:
> **AMBER → GREEN is Khaliq's read** on the enclosed evidence, per this
> block's prior wording ("that is a judgement, not a missing part") and
> per the charter's standing rule that the Lead never merges / never
> flips gates.

## The Question

**Which work package should this run execute?**
**What is the actual work package for this assess run?**

**Option 1: Declare hn-monitor work done**
- Write ops/NEXT.md confirming PR #120 completed TARGET.md's scope
- Mark this as "assessment complete, target already merged"
- Let the launcher decide next target

**Option A: ops/TARGET.md wins (hn-monitor, sdk/ territory)**
- Overwrite ops/NEXT.md with hn-monitor work package
- But the code already exists (PR #120 merged per STATE.md)
- Task would be verification/testing, not building from scratch
**Option 2: Start gate 3 — first component**
- Human specifies which gate-3 component to build first:
- Kernel lease primitive implementation?
- Factory claim protocol migration plan?
- Discover → implement flow scaffolding?
- Merge gate enforcement?
- I write work package for that specific component

**Option B: ops/NEXT.md wins (review-swarm, .github/ territory)**
- Ignore ops/TARGET.md
- Execute the review-swarm validation work
- But TARGET.md explicitly pins this run to gate 3 hn-monitor work
**Option 3: Fix gate 2 AMBER clauses**
- Write work package for trigger-plane liveness check (deterministic-id + stale_after sweep)
- OR write work package for analyze-agent step execution (user-supplied step handler)
- Gate 2 → GREEN before starting gate 3

**Option C: TARGET.md is stale**
- The launcher wrote an outdated TARGET.md referencing closed PR #83
- Real work is in ops/NEXT.md (review-swarm)
- Proceed with review-swarm, update TARGET understanding
**Option 4: Different direction**
- Human provides alternative scope

**Option D: Both are stale**
- Neither accurately reflects current gate 3 needs
- Assessor should read RFC-0001 §3 gate 3 definition
- Write fresh work package from RFC requirements
## Evidence Files

## Recommendation
The assessment found these files:

**Option C** — ops/TARGET.md appears stale (references closed PR #83 from earlier attempts, describes code that PR #120 already merged). The active work package is ops/NEXT.md (review-swarm). But I need human confirmation before overwriting NEXT.md or executing potentially wrong work.

All are committed on main. No unmerged work exists for TARGET.md's scope.

## What I Need

**Clear answer:** Which work package is correct for this run?
- If hn-monitor: shall I overwrite the review-swarm NEXT.md, or is there a different file I should write?
- If review-swarm: shall I proceed with ops/NEXT.md as-is and ignore TARGET.md?
- If neither: what is the actual gate 3 work I should assess?
**Clear answer from human:** Which work package should I write in ops/NEXT.md?

- If option 1: I'll document that TARGET.md is complete and commit the assessment
- If option 2: Specify the gate-3 component to start with
- If option 3: Specify which gate-2 AMBER clause to address
- If option 4: Provide the actual scope

Without this, I cannot write an honest work package per charter requirements.

# NEXT — gate 3 work package: document review-swarm secrets in README
# NEXT — gate 3 work package: hn-monitor runner already complete, assess actual gate 3 status

**Scope (from TARGET.md):**

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.
> 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). Do not conflate the two.

## Objective
## Current state assessment

Complete the final missing piece of gate 3's Definition of Done: document `RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY` and `CLOUD_API_KEY` secrets in README.md with instructions on how to obtain them.
The hn-monitor runner described in TARGET.md **already exists and was merged in PR #120 on 2026-09-01**. The file `packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts` (288 lines) implements the complete runner with all five findings from closed PR #83 addressed:

## Current state assessment
1. ✅ **Fail-closed on journal errors** — lines 254-268 split fetch errors (HnTransientFetchError, log and continue) from journal errors (non-transient, terminate with exit 1)
2. ✅ **AgentWorker.close() releases worker** — lines 275-278 drain in-flight executions; documented in worker.ts that workerRelease is gate-2 follow-up work (lines 160-162 comment)
3. ✅ **Field declaration order** — class-based approach was replaced with functional `runHnMonitor`
4. ✅ **Signal handlers opt-in via AbortSignal** — lines 59-60 accept `signal?: AbortSignal`; lines 127-142 implement interruptible sleep
5. ✅ **Test coverage** — `tests/cli-hn-monitor.test.ts` exists

All 9 architectural requirements from TARGET.md are SATISFIED in the existing code:
However, **gate 3 has not started**. According to RFC-0001 §3:

1. ✅ Immutable gate — two checkout steps (`.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml:32-53`)
2. ✅ Unified verdict logic — `swarm-verdict.sh` sourced by both callers
3. ✅ Auth secret validation — preflight validates all three secrets (lines 141-188)
4. ✅ Sticky marker + transcripts — HTML anchors with upsert_comment
5. ✅ No author whitelist — verified absent
6. ✅ Cloud sandbox fetch on GHA runner — `swarm-prepare.sh` with GH_TOKEN
7. ✅ Timeout ordering — 60m < 65m < 75m with comments
8. ✅ Wait step records status — swarm_status output, always() post step
9. ✅ Transcript freshness — run-start marker with stale detection

# Output: 2
```
Gate 3 is about the **Software Garden** — the full issue-to-PR pipeline with kernel-backed leases. This is a massive multi-component gate. The current TARGET.md scope (hn-monitor runner for gate 2) is **complete** and **not gate 3 work**.

## Conflict: TARGET.md is pinned to wrong gate

TARGET.md line 1 says "gate 3" but describes gate-2 work (hn-monitor runner) that is already merged. This creates two possibilities:

**Option A:** TARGET.md's gate number is wrong — it should say "gate 2" and the work is done
**Option B:** TARGET.md is outdated — gate 3 work has not been defined yet

Per STATE.md lines 39-81, gate 2 is **AMBER** (not GREEN) with two open clauses:
1. Trigger plane liveness-checked (RelayCron-style deterministic-id + stale_after sweep)
2. The analyze-agent step actually executing (current runs end in worker_error)

## Actual gate 3 starting point

RFC-0001 §3 gate 3 requires building the Software Garden on kernel leases. This is a large undertaking requiring:

- Migration of factory's ~10 claim protocols to kernel leases
- Discover → implement → review → merge-gate → close pipeline
- Journal-backed run tracking
- Merge gate enforcement (no auto-merge without opt-in)
- Legible journal output for the full workflow

This is **not** a single-PR task — it's a multi-phase gate with many sub-PRs.

## The question for human decision

**The hn-monitor work in TARGET.md is complete. What is the actual gate 3 work package I should assess?**

**The gap:** TARGET.md Definition of Done item 6 requires:
> README.md — document `RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY` secret + how to obtain
Options:
1. **Declare TARGET.md work done** — write ops/NEXT.md stating the runner is complete, tests exist, and gate-2 sub-PR A is merged
2. **Start gate 3 planning** — write a work package defining the first Software Garden component (e.g., kernel lease primitive, or factory claim migration plan)
3. **Fix gate 2 AMBER→GREEN** — write a work package addressing the two remaining gate-2 clauses (trigger liveness check + analyze-agent execution)
4. **Something else** — human provides different direction

Current reality:
Without clear direction, I cannot write an honest work package. The TARGET.md scope is **already done** and gate 3's actual requirements are far larger than a single assess cycle.

## What I observed

Evidence that hn-monitor runner is complete:
```
grep -c "RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY\|CLOUD_API_KEY" README.md
# Output: 0
ls -la packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts
# -rw-r--r-- 1 daytona daytona 8766 Sep 13 03:55 packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts

# 288 packages/sdk/src/cli/hn-monitor.ts

# -rw-r--r-- 1 daytona daytona 15420 Sep 13 03:55 packages/sdk/tests/cli-hn-monitor.test.ts
```

README.md does NOT document these secrets. The workflow comment (`.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml:21-24`) references a runbook in the `AgentWorkforce/cloud` repo, but README has no such documentation.
The implementation includes:
- `runHnMonitor` function (lines 183-282)
- Fail-closed error classification (lines 254-268)
- AbortSignal support (lines 59-60, 127-142, 239-272)
- Worker attachment before first poll (lines 225-232)
- Clean shutdown with drain (lines 275-278)

From `ops/NEEDS_HUMAN.md`, the secrets are stored and working (as of 2026-09-07), but gate 3 is blocked on Daytona CPU quota, not on implementation. The workflow WORKS; the documentation is missing.
The file was last modified on 2026-09-01 according to ops/STATE.md line 44-47:

> PR #120 (`201542a`, merged 2026-09-01 08:29 UTC) —

## Files in scope

- `README.md` — add section documenting GitHub Actions secrets required for review-swarm
None — the work is complete.

## Work package
## Definition of done

Add a "GitHub Actions Secrets" section to README.md documenting:
Cannot write a definition of done for work that is already merged.

1. `RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY` — Agent Relay workspace key for review swarm communication
- How to obtain: Contact repository administrator or see ops/NEEDS_HUMAN.md for historical context
- Why required: Enables agent coordination within review swarm workflow
## Explicitly OUT of scope

2. `CLOUD_API_KEY` — Agent Relay Cloud API credential for launching cloud workflows
- How to obtain: Minted per `AgentWorkforce/cloud → docs/runbooks/relay-ci-workflow-credential.md`
- Profile: `workflow-invoke`
- Scopes: `workflow:invoke:read` and `workflow:invoke:write`
- How to store: Repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret
Everything — this ticket describes completed work.

3. `CLOUD_API_URL` — Cloud API endpoint (typically `https://agentrelay.com/cloud`)
- Usually set as repository variable, not secret
- Defaults to production endpoint if not set
---

The section should be brief (10-15 lines) and reference the workflow files for implementation details.
**FILING ops/NEEDS_HUMAN.md** with the question above.

## Definition of done
## Commit Status

1. README.md contains a section documenting the three secrets/variables
2. Each entry states what it is and how to obtain it
3. Parse checks continue to pass:
```
bash -n .github/workflows/scripts/swarm-*.sh
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml'))"
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('workflows/review-swarm.yaml'))"
```
4. Verification remains true:
```
grep -c "RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY\|CLOUD_API_KEY" README.md
# Should return > 0
grep -i "whitelist\|github.event.pull_request.user.login" .github/workflows/review-swarm.yml || echo "GOOD"
# Should return "GOOD" or nothing (no whitelist)
```
5. As final action:
```
git status --porcelain
```
**FAILED** — Git repository not available in this sandbox environment.

## Explicitly OUT of scope
Attempted command:
```
git add -A && git commit -m "assess: work package for this tick"
```

- `.github/workflows/review-swarm.yml` (already correct, all 9 requirements satisfied)
- `workflows/review-swarm.yaml` (already correct)
- `.github/workflows/scripts/swarm-*.sh` (all already correct)
- `.gitignore` (no .review-target mask exists, already correct)
- `sdk/` (Track A owns that)
- `kernel/` (gate 1 done)
- `ops/*` (chief owns briefs and state)
- Any other GHA workflow
- Resolving the Daytona CPU quota block (that's in ops/NEEDS_HUMAN.md, different issue)
- Actually testing the workflow end-to-end (blocked on Daytona capacity per ops/NEEDS_HUMAN.md)
Result:
```
fatal: not a git repository: /home/daytona/.project-git
```

## Why this is the work package
This matches the known sandbox limitation documented in ops/STATE.md lines 195-200:

TARGET.md's Definition of Done explicitly lists:
- Item 6: "PR body explicitly documents each of the 9 requirements above and shows where each is satisfied"
- Item 7: "`README.md` — document `RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY` secret + how to obtain"
> **Known environment faults in a cloud sandbox**
>
> These are understood, filed, and are NOT reasons to block:
>
> 1. **No `.git`, no `gh`.** `sync` runs in `SYNC_MODE=snapshot`: the uploaded
> tree is committed as its own base. `git log` shows one commit; that is
> correct, not damage.

The 9 requirements are satisfied in code. Item 7 is not satisfied. This is the remaining gap between current state and TARGET.md's done-when.
The work package files (ops/NEXT.md and ops/NEEDS_HUMAN.md) exist in the working tree and will be propagated through the executor's sync mechanism.
