Consolidate workflow, planning, review-delivery, security, and orchestration guidance with structured contract, ledger, and evaluation validation.
Harden mise-managed skill-evaluation migration, preparation, historical, and materialized-artifact checks, with focused fixtures and documentation updates.
Harden review-watch staged state recovery, activity/grace tracking, lock portability, paginated thread resolution, legacy-head handling, and focused tests.
Clarify credential policy: alphabetic prose after real Bearer/Basic schemes passes; long lowercase/uppercase hexadecimal and mixed-class credential values fail; redacted controls pass.
Require plan-preserving recovery to use present, consistent, actionable plan fields; missing or non-actionable fields require a targeted amendment and new plan version.
Align recovery evals so stories are blocked/frozen and evidence is preserved before workflow-policy freeze/report/escalate/stop, with planning recovery afterward.
Validation
Focused workflow-validator, skill-evals, and review-watch tests
JSON, shell syntax, Prettier, rumdl, and git diff --check

Reviewer notes
Review-watch preserves explicit null resolution state when GitHub cannot prove a thread status; downstream consumers must treat it as unresolved or unknown.
Generated evaluation artifacts outside this amendment remain untouched.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added guidance for planning, delegating, executing, reviewing, and delivering multi-step work, with clearer authorization, recovery, and handoff boundaries.
Added workflow contract and evidence-ledger validation, plus evaluation workspace migration and validation.
Added more structured critique modes with decision tracking and bounded autonomous review cycles.
Shell startup now selects the repository’s mise configuration by default while preserving explicit settings and supporting opt-out.
Improvements
Expanded review-watch tracking for changes, unresolved feedback, check status, and interrupted operations.
Added evaluation coverage for the new workflow, security, review, and migration guidance.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
This pull request revises workflow guidance, adds workflow contract and ledger schemas with a structural validator, and updates evaluation migration and validation. It also changes Zsh startup behavior to select repository mise configuration under specified conditions.
Changes: Workflow Skills and Validation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Workflow contract and ledger validation home/.config/mise/tasks/ai/workflow/*, README.md, tests/scripts/test_mise_task_ai_workflow_validate.zsh, tests/scripts/README.md
New schemas define workflow contracts and ledgers. The validator checks ledger structure, paths, identities, transitions, dependencies, and redaction. Delivery records report external authorization and runtime requirements.
Coordination and worker policy home/.agents/skills/workflow-policy/*, home/.agents/agents/orchestrator.md, home/AGENTS.md
The new policy defines delegation, worker contracts, checkpoints, coordination, and recovery. Orchestrator guidance and the skills index refer to the new policy and workflow owners.
Planning and story execution home/.agents/skills/planning/*, home/.agents/skills/execution-workflow/*
Planning produces a persisted accepted plan. Execution uses its exact path and version and defines story states, dependencies, acceptance, and drift recovery.
Critique and security procedures home/.agents/skills/critique-workflow/*, home/.agents/skills/security/*
Critique guidance defines findings, decision logs, and autonomous and interactive modes. Security guidance defines routing, redaction, finding dispositions, and closure evidence.
Pull request review and delivery home/.agents/skills/review-delivery/*, home/.agents/skills/pr-orchestration/*, home/.agents/agents/orchestrator.md, home/AGENTS.md
The new review-delivery skill defines review, finding closure, watch, and authorized delivery procedures. The prior PR orchestration skill and evaluation file are removed.
Skill evaluation migration and validation home/.config/mise/tasks/ai/skills/evals/*, home/.config/mise/cleanup.paths, tests/scripts/test_mise_skill_evals.zsh
A migration map records renamed skills and legacy preparation skills. The evaluation validator handles migration names, workspace states, reports, and evidence paths; tests cover the new validation rules.
Repository mise Startup
Layer / File(s)
Summary
mise startup selection and tests home/.config/zsh/.zshenv, tests/scripts/test_mise_config.zsh
Zsh startup sets repository mise configuration variables when repository configuration exists, unless opted out, and preserves values set by the caller. Tests cover these conditions.
Change: Feature
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to c332e
Restore the missing evaluation artifacts before merging, or explicitly accept the resulting validation failure. Alternate-root validation, recovery guidance, and macOS portability also retain bounded limitations.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to e5878
The changed guidance preserves authorization, isolation, and review requirements, and the structural checker refuses to authorize delivery. Shell configuration overrides and an opt-out remain available. Runtime authorization, cancellation, and recovery enforcement are outside the reviewed implementation, leaving some uncertainty.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The startup authority change affects subsequent mise processes inheriting the exported environment, not just commands run inside this checkout. Its effective authority is that of the invoking local user. Exploiting the selected configuration would require influence over the fixed repository configuration path or another trusted configuration input; ownership of that path was not established.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Before reporting valid structure, the checker rejects designated trusted-status claims, noncanonical or sensitive path claims, overlapping candidate claims, inconsistent identities, and discontinuous transitions. Worktree identifiers remain opaque strings: validation does not resolve them, verify authorization provenance, or establish permission to access a filesystem target.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Exact accepted-plan and amendment identity is required by planning and execution guidance, but the inspected recovery records and identity comparison do not themselves prove that each replacement worker or completion result used that accepted version. Likewise, exclusive ownership after interruption depends on external enforcement. This is an evidence limitation, not an observed unauthorized transition.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — When integrating an external orchestrator, bind recovery handoffs and completion evidence to the accepted plan version and current ownership generation, and verify those bindings together with fresh authorization before resumed mutation.

The record-order reduction starts with no previous checkpoint for a candidate, so it may accept its first record even when that record predates the candidate’s contract checkpoint.
Validation may certify a record chronology that precedes its initiating contract.
This can occur when: A contract checkpoint is dated in 2026 and its first record checkpoint is dated in 2025, as the new positive chronology fixture permits.
Unverified finding

The positive chronology test dates records in 2025 while its baseline contract uses the current date. It may require accepting records before their contract if contract checkpoints establish the chronology baseline.
This PR’s positive test fails despite the validator correctly rejecting the fixture.
This can occur when: Contract-to-first-record chronology is enforced.

Test gap: the --base-path home assertion does not create a workspace that needs a migration mapping, so it passes even if the task-source map is never loaded.
The test reports successful migration-map resolution without exercising it.
This can occur when: Map lookup regresses for --base-path home while the existing home workspaces need no mapping.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: the new cross-contract path cases assert only accepted exclusions. A validator that never checks overlapping owned_paths between candidates could still pass them.
The test suite would not detect acceptance of two candidates owning the same repository path.
This can occur when: The cross-contract ownership check is removed or accidentally bypassed.

With valid timing reports now able to pass the corrected key check, validate_materialized_config checks timing and grading run_id values separately but does not bind them to the same run.
Validation may accept a grading result as evidence for a different timed execution.
This can occur when: A configuration has timing.json for run-1 and grading.json for run-2, each otherwise well formed.

The repaired materialized timing check makes the evidence-validation path reachable; that path invokes realpath -P, which may be unsupported by the macOS realpath selected in a supported installation.
An otherwise valid materialized workspace fails evidence-path validation.
This can occur when: A materialized iteration with output or evidence references is validated on a supported macOS setup without GNU-compatible realpath first on PATH.
Unverified finding

An explicitly historical iteration under a migration-source workspace is classified as historical even when case artifacts are present, bypassing the later configuration-report and evidence-file validation.
Validation may certify historical evaluation artifacts that could not pass the report checks applied to other artifact-bearing iterations.
This can occur when: A migrated workspace declares state: historical and includes case directories containing incomplete or inconsistent materialized reports.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Iteration-level preparation summaries are checked for JSON and identity, but not for fabricated execution results; the preparation-specific validation later checks only configuration timing and grading files.
The validator can report a preparation workspace as valid despite execution claims in its summaries.
This can occur when: A state: preparation iteration retains null configuration timing metrics but its benchmark.json or feedback.json claims a passed measured run.
Unverified finding

Parsing the three timestamps does not make the subsequent array comparison component-wise: jq can accept a later record whose initial_at increased while last_at and next_due_at went backward.
The validator reports chronologically inconsistent checkpoints as valid.
This can occur when: Two otherwise valid records for one lane and candidate have checkpoints [00:00, 00:10, 00:20] and [00:01, 00:02, 00:03], respectively.
Unverified finding

Test gap: every standalone bearer credential in the rejection list uses mixed character classes, so the tests can pass while lowercase hexadecimal bearer credentials evade credential_token.
The secret-regression test remains green despite that unredacted credential being accepted.
This can occur when: The validator accepts Bearer 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef in an acceptance string.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: the materialized fixture gives timing and grading identical run_id values and has no negative pairing case. A validator that checks each ID’s syntax but not their equality still passes.
The suite does not catch acceptance of reports from different runs as one materialized configuration.
This can occur when: One configuration’s grading report is changed to run-2 while its timing report remains run-1.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The loaded rename map supports iterative resolution and checks cycles, but the later target check requires every intermediate rename target to have an active evaluation spec while active migration-source names are forbidden. A valid chain therefore appears impossible to validate.
Validation rejects historical workspaces that should resolve through both renames.
This can occur when: The map contains old-a -> old-b -> current, with only current an active skill.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
For project-root and home base paths, map selection ignores the repository-local map and silently proceeds if the task-adjacent map is missing. A partial or mixed-version task installation may therefore lose required migration metadata.
Valid historical workspaces can fail name resolution, or map-dependent preparation classification can fail.
This can occur when: The validator script is installed without its adjacent migration-map.json, while the repository being validated has that map and migrated workspaces.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
credential_token requires three character classes, so a long lowercase hexadecimal bearer credential in a nonsensitive free-text field can pass the new standalone bearer/basic check.
A ledger containing an unredacted credential may pass the secret check and be shared as clean.
This can occur when: An acceptance string contains Bearer 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef without an Authorization: prefix.
Unverified finding

The four-check grace period specifies 15-minute intervals but leaves cadence to an external scheduler; a poll-count-based stop signal could complete the grace period early.
Review monitoring stops before the intended grace interval has elapsed and can miss feedback arriving during that interval.
This can occur when: An external scheduler retries or polls a clean, approved open PR four times within a few minutes.

The material-boundary assertion accepts a planning amendment described as created and accepted without requiring the amendment critique mandated by planning/SKILL.md.
The evaluation can approve a response that skips the required critique gate.
This can occur when: An evaluated response proposes immediate planning acceptance of a security-boundary amendment, omitting independent amendment critique.

The no-amendment recovery path can retain an accepted plan with missing or non-actionable required story fields, even though those fields caused execution to block.
Execution resumes at research, validates the same unusable story, and blocks it again; its dependents remain blocked.
This can occur when: A frozen plan lacks a required story key or rollback note, but its objective and listed material boundaries remain unchanged.

We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The drift procedure can have planning accept an amendment after the critique at line 223, before the separate critique requested at line 230 and the instruction at line 231 to wait for critique before changing the plan.
Recovery can proceed from an amendment that conflicts with the later critique, or stall while workers reconcile two critique decisions.
This can occur when: The first critique recommends a boundary change, planning accepts an amendment, and the later critique reaches a different keep-or-discard decision.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The new viable-recovery evaluation expects no amendment for unchanged boundaries, while the existing mapping-story-states-to-todos evaluation requires a targeted amendment after an excluded-file edit and missed checkpoint without stating that a plan boundary changed.
The evaluation set can reward amendment of an unchanged plan in one case and reject it in the other.
This can occur when: The excluded-file edit and missed checkpoint are worker violations, but the accepted plan and its material boundaries remain viable and unchanged.

Scheduler shutdown now depends exclusively on pr:review-watch -- poll emitting scheduler_should_stop: true, including after merged or closed PRs have been removed; the producing task's behavior is not supplied.
If an empty-state poll omits the signal or cannot run, the external scheduler has no permitted shutdown signal and continues polling indefinitely.
This can occur when: The last watched PR merges and is removed, leaving an empty watch state.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Story budget recovery permits resumption after accepted plan recovery without repeating the earlier requirement to block a lane lacking external runtime enforcement.
The recovered story may resume work without enforceable hard budgets.
This can occur when: A story exhausts its budget while its runner's external budget enforcement has become unavailable, and planning accepts an unchanged-plan recovery.
Unverified finding

Staging an add leaves state.pull_requests unchanged until replay, while the unchanged list action reads only that array and does not report or acknowledge pending_add. A list between staging and acknowledgment can say the watch is empty when an add is awaiting delivery.
The list consumer may stop scheduling or conclude that the PR was not registered, leaving the staged add unacknowledged.
This can occur when: An add is interrupted after staging a PR into an initially empty watch list, and a scheduler or operator invokes list before retrying add.

The staged-add branch accepts an add invocation with no valid PR numbers and replays and commits the previous add, bypassing the normal add requires at least one pull request number check.
The caller receives a successful response for a different add request, while its requested watch change is not performed.
This can occur when: An add was interrupted after staging, and a later caller invokes add with an empty or wholly invalid PR-number argument rather than intentionally acknowledging that stage.
Unverified finding

Add reconciliation sets action_required from checks and CHANGES_REQUESTED alone, unlike poll results, which include new activity. Existing review or comment findings can therefore be present in reconciliation while its action flag is false.
A consumer that gates review work on action_required can skip the very findings the add reconciliation was intended to surface.
This can occur when: An approved PR is added with existing comments or review findings and no failed or pending checks.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
A poll payload is emitted before its staged state is cleared, so an interruption after successful emission causes the same payload to be emitted again on retry. The change establishes at-least-once delivery, but the supplied code does not show acknowledgment or idempotency by every output consumer.
Without downstream deduplication, the same review activity can prompt duplicate findings, responses, or other delivery actions.
This can occur when: A consumer receives and acts on poll output, then the watcher exits before the final saveState; the consumer retries the poll.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
mergeSeen permanently retains every previously observed ID, including IDs no longer present in either fetched collection. On a long-lived PR with substantial comment churn, each poll grows or rewrites a state file containing the full historical ID set.
The state file and repeated serialization and deduplication work can grow without a bound tied to currently returned activity.
This can occur when: A PR receives many reviews or comments over an extended watch period, including comments later deleted or no longer returned.
Unverified finding

After moving a lock to quarantine and discovering it is not the stale lock previously observed, restoration can fail with EEXIST and that failure is ignored. Another invocation can then hold the original lock path while its live predecessor's lock remains quarantined.
The fresh lock owner and the third invocation can both proceed against the same watch state, causing lost updates or duplicated transactions.
This can occur when: Concurrent invocations race to recover a stale lock: one acquires a fresh lock before the other renames it to quarantine, and a third acquires the newly freed lock path before restoration.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
A live lock is classified as stale when a second ps -o lstart= rendering differs from the stored rendering. If that rendering varies by the inspecting process's timezone or locale, two invocations can disagree about the same live PID and reclaim an active lock.
Both invocations may mutate the watch state concurrently, losing a staged operation or activity progress.
This can occur when: Two watch invocations share a state file but launch with different TZ or locale settings while the first still holds its lock.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Pending-poll validation checks only that payload is an object and the next entries are valid; it does not check the payload's action, repository, PR results, or relationship to those entries. A malformed persisted stage may be emitted and committed as if it were a valid poll.
A retry can report incorrect poll results and advance the watch state despite never delivering the corresponding activity.
This can occur when: A pending state file contains a valid entry array but an incomplete or mismatched payload, for example after manual recovery or a state-writing component produces an incompatible record.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Grace completion depends on the current clean boolean and retains no requirement that previously reported findings have been resolved. An approved PR with an outstanding older review comment can accumulate four clean polls and become eligible for scheduler shutdown.
Review monitoring can stop before the outstanding finding is closed.
This can occur when: An existing review comment requires a response, but it is no longer new activity and the PR remains APPROVED with passing checks.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
validateReview now rejects every review without a parseable submittedAt. If gh pr view includes a pending, unsubmitted review with a null timestamp, that review prevents adding or polling the entire PR instead of being skipped.
Review monitoring fails for the PR and cannot deliver other valid activity or advance its watch state.
This can occur when: A watched PR has a pending draft review in the reviews response.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The new clean predicate does not compare the current head to the head previously checked or approved. If approval survives a head update and its new checks have not appeared, grace can continue on approval and checks belonging to the earlier head.
The scheduler may stop after four apparently clean polls without reviewing or checking the new head.
This can occur when: A watched PR receives a new commit after approval, with approval retained and new check runs not yet present in statusCheckRollup.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The new review filter suppresses a seen ID only when its timestamp is also at or before the cutoff; the analogous comment filter does the same. An item already included in a fetched snapshot but timestamped after that snapshot's cutoff is emitted again on the next poll.
The same activity is reported twice, and its second report can reset a PR's clean-poll grace counter.
This can occur when: A review or comment arrives after watchStartedAt during add, or after now is captured during a poll, but before the API response is fetched.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
formatComment derives resolution status solely from fields on comments fetched through gh api .../pulls/{number}/comments. If that REST response has no thread-resolution field, is_resolved is omitted from the JSON output even though review delivery may need it to close findings.
A consumer relying on this reconciliation or poll output may treat an unresolved finding as closed or be unable to verify its closure.
This can occur when: A PR has an unresolved review thread whose comments are returned without isResolved or resolved.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
A retried staged poll emits its saved stop decision and commits its saved next entries without fetching current PR activity. A stop payload computed before an interruption can remain authoritative after new review activity arrives.
The retry can tell the scheduler to stop while the new review has never been reported.
This can occur when: The fourth clean poll is staged and interrupted; a new review arrives before the poll is retried.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: the failed malformed-review poll redirects stdout to __poll_output but never asserts that it is empty. A poll that emits findings before discovering the malformed timestamp could pass the new failure and state-integrity checks.
The test accepts partial output from a failed, unacknowledged poll.
This can occur when: Valid activity is processed and written to stdout before a later review fails timestamp validation.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: the reconciliation assertions check comment bodies and linkage but not the inline or issue comment's own ID or URL. An add implementation that drops those fields from its output could satisfy these assertions while still persisting the seen IDs.
The complete-reconciliation test accepts comment output that a review recipient may be unable to identify or link back to GitHub.
This can occur when: The add result contains the supplied comment bodies but omits id and html_url from either comment entry.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The two background contenders have no barrier requiring both to reach lock acquisition before either finishes. A correctly serialized implementation can therefore produce two successful, sequential polls and fail the exactly-one-winner assertion.
The test fails intermittently even though neither poll overlaps a live lock holder.
This can occur when: Scheduling delays the second background job until after the first has released the lock.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: every poll in the four-check grace sequence is clean. A counter that increments on clean polls but fails to reset after new review activity could pass this test.
The scheduler may stop before four consecutive clean checks have occurred, without this test detecting it.
This can occur when: A review or comment arrives between clean polls, followed by enough clean polls to bring the old, unreset count to four.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: the final assertion only requires a non-null lastSeenAt, but the initial PR already has one. Recovery that replays the payload and deletes pending_poll without applying next_pull_requests passes it.
The test reports successful recovery although the staged cursor was not advanced.
This can occur when: Pending-poll recovery leaves lastSeenAt at 2024-01-02T00:00:00Z instead of applying the staged 2024-01-03T00:00:00Z value.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Possible test gap: both new poll-side comment fixtures are empty. If other poll tests do not supply and assert nonempty pages, a regression that ignores inline or issue comments during poll would pass despite the nonempty add-path coverage.
Poll output omits new review activity without this fixture exposing the regression.
This can occur when: A watched PR receives a new inline or issue comment on a later poll, while the poll implementation skips that comment endpoint or its returned entries.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: staged-add recovery checks only seen.reviews, although the initial add checks all three seen arrays. Recovery that loses seen.inline_comments and seen.issue_comments could pass; the crash-recovery assertion at lines 192–193 has the same omission.
The recovery assertions pass with incomplete watch state; a later poll may report the already-reconciled comments again.
This can occur when: A retry replays pending_add.payload and restores the review cursor, but does not restore the staged inline- and issue-comment cursors.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The fake ps delegates to /bin/ps instead of the ps found on the runner's PATH. On a supported runner without /bin/ps, checks of any PID other than the specially handled stale PID fail for a reason unrelated to lock correctness.
The lock test may fail or make the wrong contention decision solely because its fake process checker cannot delegate.
This can occur when: The concurrency test runs on a platform with ps available through PATH but no /bin/ps, and lock recovery checks a live contender's PID.
The parallel-branch-supervision case directs Unit B to start against the agreed stub before integration. The case has no assertions array, and its recorded grading contains zero checks. A change that serializes Unit B behind Unit A would not change any recorded result. The evaluator accepts cases without assertions, so this is a coverage gap for a stated policy, not a validation failure.

Keep the case artifacts for materialized eval iterations.
The validator reads each manifest state. For a materialized iteration, it requires each case directory, its outputs/ directory, timing.json, and grading.json. When those are absent, the run stops with "evaluation iteration has no case artifacts or explicit historical state."
These iterations set "state": "materialized" but do not track their case artifacts:
Commit the complete redacted case artifacts for these iterations. Keep the state as materialized. Do not set the state to historical or preparation to pass validation, and do not weaken the validator's checks.

This finding is acknowledged but intentionally not changed in this delivery. The affected review-delivery and workflow-policy materialized evaluation workspaces are pre-existing generated artifacts outside the four accepted patch scopes, and the execution handoff explicitly says not to modify that unrelated area to make repository-wide validation pass. The focused changed-scope tests, mise run fix, mise run check, Betterleaks, and normal pre-commit hooks pass. Leaving the thread open for a separate artifact-generation change.

@minusfive Understood. The finding remains unresolved and deferred to a separate artifact-generation change. No change is requested within this delivery’s accepted scope.
Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for the missing materialized evaluation artifacts?
Count the raw nested comment artifacts before you classify findings. Treat each reply as evidence for its parent unless it adds a distinct finding. If the reported count differs from the collected artifact count, block disposition. Record an incomplete review poll.
Delegate the complete review poll and candidate validation to a review-monitoring worker. The worker must inventory every review artifact, reconcile each finding, and run bounded validation. Consume its evidence instead of repeating the same review scope in the orchestrator.
Gate scheduler_should_stop on unresolved review threads.

The thread-resolution portion is addressed in 199ab93: poll resolution lookups are bounded, unresolved or unknown inline threads make has_unresolved_activity true, reset the grace counter, and prevent scheduler_should_stop until four clean checks complete. The separate ledger acknowledgement request is an external consumer-boundary change not in the accepted four-patch plan; this task intentionally preserves at-least-once replay and leaves cursor acknowledgement to downstream consumers. Focused review-watch tests, mise run fix, mise run check, and pre-commit hooks pass. Leaving this combined thread open because the second request is not fully implemented.

@minusfive Thanks for addressing the thread-resolution portion in 199ab93 and reporting the passing checks.
I understand that ledger acknowledgement is outside the accepted four-patch plan. That concern remains unresolved; replay of poll output does not by itself confirm a durable ledger write. The combined thread should remain open, as you requested.
Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the downstream consumer acknowledgement boundary?

Validate renamed workspaces against the root that owns their skill.
When a renamed workspace resolves to a skill outside the selected root, spec stays empty. The continue at line 487 then skips that workspace's manifest, report, and case checks. The default ai:skills:evals:validate run still reports success, and the agent skill instructs it before grading. Fail in this case, or validate the workspace against the owning root.

loadState and saveState validate a staged poll only against its own payload and next list. Neither checks that every active watch appears in the staged results. If the state file is edited so that an active PR is missing from the staged poll, acknowledging the poll saves the next list without that PR and stops watching it.
The current producer does not create this state. Add and remove are blocked while a poll is staged, so the active list cannot change between staging and acknowledgment. Passing the active list into the staged-poll check, and requiring each active number to appear in payload.pull_requests, would reject such a file before replay.

Name plan-level fields in the amendment rules of workflow-policy and planning.
workflow-policy and planning name only story fields. execution-workflow requires an amendment when any required plan field is missing. A plan that lacks a plan-level section, such as rollback, can still receive a same-version recovery decision under workflow-policy and planning. execution-workflow rejects that decision, so the story stays blocked until an amendment is accepted. Recovery is possible, but the two skills disagree. execution-workflow already has the correct rule and needs no change.

Cover GraphQL-resolved review threads in the poll tests.
The gh api graphql stub always returns isResolved:false (tests/scripts/test_mise_task_pr_review_watch.zsh:52-56). No test returns a resolved GraphQL thread. Every GraphQL-backed inline thread therefore resolves to unresolved. The poll path's hasUnresolvedActivity check and grace progression are never exercised with a resolved value. The PR 10 assertion checks only action_required == true, which holds either way. The clean-grace test uses PR 11, which has no inline comments.
Make the stub's resolution value configurable. Shape its response to match the GraphQL query that threadResolution sends. Add a poll test with an inline comment that resolves through GraphQL. Assert that this thread no longer blocks a clean poll and that grace checks advance to completion.

Reject duplicate skill names across skill roots, or select the spec by source root.
When a skill name exists in both the primary root and an alternate root, validation always uses the primary spec. An iteration that prepare.zsh --skills-path created from the alternate spec then fails the current-manifest comparison. Either reject the duplicate name with a clear error, or record the source root in manifest.json and select the matching spec.

We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
hasUnresolvedReviewState considers only each reviewer's latest submitted review. A later COMMENTED review may therefore hide an outstanding CHANGES_REQUESTED review even while GitHub's reviewDecision remains CHANGES_REQUESTED.
A poll can report action_required: false despite an outstanding change request.
This can occur when: A reviewer requests changes, later submits a comment-only review, and both reviews have already been marked seen.

the duplicate with a clear error before choosing a spec. Preserve the existing
selection behavior for names found in only one root.

- Around line 545-557: Extend the renamed-workspace validation test to define
the same skill in both the primary and alternate skill roots, with distinct
evals.json files. Make the fixture distinguish which spec is selected, then
assert that validation uses the primary-root spec when resolving the collision.

Amendment 1.3 review reconciliation: the primary/alternate skill-spec selector is deterministic (primary wins, alternate is fallback), but the collision fixture remains a non-blocking coverage risk. The latest review-state and lowercase/uppercase credential findings remain open and are not claimed as fixed by S13-S16. Validation passed: focused tests, mise run fix, mise run check, Betterleaks, JSON/syntax/format checks, and normal hooks.

Add an assertion that execution resumes with the exact accepted amendment path and version.
The material-boundary eval requires an accepted amendment before resumption, but no assertion requires execution to use that amendment's exact path and version. A response that accepts version 2 and resumes with version 1 can satisfy every listed assertion. The contract in execution-workflow/SKILL.md requires the exact path and version.
Suggested fix
"The response requires `critique-workflow` to critique every targeted amendment before planning accepts it.",
+ "Execution-workflow consumes the exact accepted amendment path and version before it resumes the story.",
"The response preserves workflow-policy ownership of freeze -> report -> escalate -> stop and the canonical story lifecycle."

Add a test where a valid later outer thread page contains a REST comment.
The current outer loop maps nodes from every page, but no test checks that path. Every fixture that reaches the outer loop returns either one page or an empty first page with a repeated cursor. A regression that drops nodes from page two or later would not fail the suite. Add a cursor-aware stub that returns a valid second page with a resolved thread, then assert is_resolved == true for its REST comment.

Extend the outer review-thread pagination test around run_action to use a
cursor-aware GraphQL fixture or stub that returns a valid second page containing
a resolved thread with a REST comment. Assert that the corresponding inline
comment has is_resolved == true, while preserving the existing repeated-cursor
test.
Map a distinct later-page comment in the inner-pagination test.
The inner-pagination fixture returns comment 2501 on both pages. The assertion checks only its first-page mapping. Removing the addComments(threadNodes, thread.isResolved) call would still pass, so later-page comments would have no regression coverage. Add a distinct comment to the second page and to the pulls fixture, then assert its is_resolved value.

Update the inner-pagination test fixture and assertions so the later page
contains a distinct comment that is also present in the pulls fixture. Assert
that this later-page comment is mapped with the expected is_resolved value,
while preserving the repeated-cursor warning and first-page assertion; use the
existing fixture and mapping symbols to locate the test.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
credential_token does not recognize alphabetic-only or some two-character-class bearer values. Those values may be valid credentials, so check_secret_like_values can accept them unredacted.
The validator may report the ledger as clean while it retains a usable credential.
This can occur when: A ledger acceptance or evidence string contains Bearer ordinarylowercaseprosevalue, or another real bearer credential of at least 16 characters that misses these tests.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: the new plan-preserving case says recovery uses no new plan version, but its assertions do not explicitly reject versioning an otherwise unchanged plan. The supplied workflow-policy contract says to preserve the same plan and version.
The evaluation may approve unnecessary plan-version churn contrary to the recovery contract.
This can occur when: A response records a plan-preserving decision without an amendment but instructs planning to publish a new plan version before resuming.
Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test gap: the changed expected output says to follow workflow-policy for worker recovery, but none of this evaluation's assertions requires its canonical freeze -> report -> escalate -> stop sequence. A response could proceed from blocking the story directly to amendment and resumption.
The evaluation may report a passing answer that skips the required worker recovery procedure.
This can occur when: An evaluated response addresses the excluded-file change and missed checkpoint by blocking the story, preserving findings, obtaining a critiqued amendment, and resuming, but omits the worker recovery sequence.

"expected_output": "Before workflow-policy begins the canonical freeze -> report -> escalate -> stop sequence, the affected story is blocked/frozen and its evidence is preserved.

Require the unblock condition in the viable recovery eval.
The viable-recovery-without-amendment case asserts that the story is blocked or frozen with its evidence preserved. It does not assert the blocker reason or unblock condition. A response can block the story without an unblock condition and still pass every assertion. The sibling material-boundary-recovery case checks both fields, so the viable case should check them too.
Suggested fix
"The response blocks/freezes the affected story and preserves its evidence before workflow-policy begins the canonical freeze -> report -> escalate -> stop sequence.",
+ "The response records the blocker reason and unblock condition when it blocks or freezes the affected story.",
"The response requires the exact freeze -> report -> escalate -> stop sequence before the plan-preserving recovery decision.",
