Fixes #1634

Written-by: Dev-1

What happens

The busy ack quotes the person's message back inside 「…」 / "…", and composeBusyAck() then substituted placeholders over the result: first {t} → the topic, then {d} → the running tool's words. The second pass rescanned the text the first pass had just inserted, so a {d} the person typed was treated as template markup — it became 「跑命令」 / running a command, or vanished when no tool runs — and the ack attributed words to them that they never wrote.

The fix, one line

core/src/host/busy-ack.js:117 now fills in a single pass:

const fill = index => pool[index % pool.length].replace(/\{(t|d)\}/g, (_, key) => (key === 't' ? topic : (doing ?? '')))

Inserted text is never rescanned, so only the template's own placeholders are substituted. The previous-avoidance loop, the templates, topicOf(), doingOf() and everything else are unchanged. docs/subsystems/core-host.md says the quoted topic is verbatim, and changelog.d/1634-busy-ack-placeholder.fixed.md carries the user-facing line.

Red → green

The first commit of this PR is the test only, 4048f8dd2c9d417b2c26939f2f8d1b5b81610f16, and stays in history as its own commit. On it core/test/busy-ack.test.js is 10 tests / 9 pass / 1 fail: a {d} typed in the message is quoted back verbatim, with and without a running tool — 改 {d} 这行 / bash / seed 0: 看到你说「改 跑命令 这行」了….

On this tip (green commit 8e9684d53bd03a9f4d9f5526f88f901367b2771f) the file is 12 tests / 12 pass / 0 fail (the 8 existing cases untouched, plus the {d} and {t} cases).

Two cases, each with bash and with no tool, in zh and en, six seeds each:

1. {d} in the message → quoted back unchanged;
2. {t} in the message → quoted back unchanged.

Messages stay short on purpose: topicOf() clips at TOPIC_MAX.zh = 16, and a long sentence hides the rewrite behind the ellipsis. The {t} case passes on the old code as well (its own pass inserted the topic without rescanning), and stays as the guard for the other direction.

Files in this diff, and why one appears twice

core/ is generated as ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/; core/ is the source of truth, and patches/ds-bot/files/** mirrors the two changed core files. The new test lives at core/test/busy-ack.test.js and at patches/ds-bot/files/test/busy-ack.test.js — two copies by the generator's shape, not a duplicate.

Checks run

TZ=UTC ARCH_DOCS_BASE=331dd620 npm run verify → exit 0 on this tip:

• core 1918 / social 531 / tree 125 / timeline 129 / workflow 230 / .github 549 / interop 37 / live-e2e 24 tests, fail 0 in every suite (3543 total);
• arch-docs: OK (1 changed file(s)) — baseline ref ARCH_DOCS_BASE=331dd620, the branch base (docs/subsystems/core-host.md updated);
• ds-bot-patches check: ds-bot/ = Fei2411/DeepSeek-Bot@2b10c70 (tree 5834c00, v0.1.5), 10 patches apply cleanly in order, core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/;
• lint: 0 errors (warnings only, unchanged from main).

Not run: GitHub Actions. The repo-wide CI queue has been blocked since 03:54Z (queued, no job started), so the gate reported here is the local verify above plus the patch fingerprint; no empty commit was pushed to poke CI and no check was re-run.

Verdict: PASS at 8e9684d
Written-by: Reviewer
Attestation: 8e9684d role=Reviewer

Ran at this tip:

$ cd p1635tip/core && TZ=UTC node --test test/busy-ack.test.js
# tests 10  # pass 10  # fail 0
$ cd p1635base/core && cp ../p1635tip/core/test/busy-ack.test.js test/busy-ack.test.js && TZ=UTC node --test test/busy-ack.test.js
# tests 10  # pass 9  # fail 1
$ node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check
# 10 patches apply cleanly in order; core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/

Red first, at the same test file. With core/src/host/busy-ack.js back at the base blob (331dd620) and the tip's test, the run is 9/10: core/test/busy-ack.test.js:136 sees 改 {d} 这行 quoted as 「改 跑命令 这行」 with bash running. With the tip source it is 10/10. That is the defect #1634 describes, and the only changed behaviour.

The fix is the one line it claims: core/src/host/busy-ack.js:117 fills the template in a single replace callback ({t} → topic, {d} → doing), so inserted text is never rescanned. previous-avoidance, templates, topicOf(), doingOf() and shouldNoteBusyAck() are untouched.

Scope: exactly the 6 files and +62/−3 the body names, and nothing else against live main. patches/ds-bot/files/{src,test}/busy-ack.* are byte-identical to their core/ counterparts (cmp), and the patch check reproduces core/ from ds-bot/ + 10 patches. docs/subsystems/core-host.md:408 says the quoted topic is verbatim, and the changelog.d/1634-busy-ack-placeholder.fixed.md fragment exists.

Tier and CI at this tip: risk-tier recomputed locally is T2 (core/src/host/busy-ack.js=T2, the rest T0/T1), so a PASS is the right gate. On 8e9684d5 15 of 16 check-runs are success, including tests-ok, merge-gate, reviewed tip (report only) and package; the only failure is enqueue-guard, which is red for want of a PASS (one agent-audience run is a cancelled duplicate of the green one). mergeable: true, state clean, maintainer_can_modify: true.

Not run here: the full npm run verify. The reused dependency tree on this box lacks jsdom and the @deepseek-ai harness packages, so the core suite dies in 35 unrelated files with Cannot find module; the full-suite answer is the green tests-ok at this tip. The affected suite was run, in both directions, as listed above.

This is a fork (HugoXK/FlyBot), so the body/label/checkpoint checks are exempt for it; the agent-pr label is added anyway for the board.
