# CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics Implementation Plan

> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

**Goal:** Make the pre-push CI queue guard pass when no pipeline is queued or running while preserving fail-closed merge readiness.

**Architecture:** Keep provider lookup and tri-state classification unchanged. Make only the final state dispatch purpose-sensitive: push treats valid non-pending states as queue-clear, while merge continues to require terminal success. Preserve `--require-status`, malformed-payload rejection, unknown-state rejection, and audited provider-unavailable behavior.

**Tech Stack:** Bash, process-level shell regression harnesses, Gitea/GitHub status APIs.

---

### Task 1: Freeze Purpose-Specific State Semantics

**Files:**

- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`

**Step 1: Add failing push assertions**

Change push expectations so `terminal-failure` and `no-status` require exit 0 plus an explicit `queue-clear` diagnostic. Add a `--require-status` assertion that keeps push/no-status non-zero.

**Step 2: Add failing merge assertions**

Invoke the same harness with `MOSAIC_TEST_PURPOSE=merge` and assert terminal failure and no status remain non-zero while terminal success remains zero.

**Step 3: Add unknown-state coverage**

Add a stub payload with a syntactically valid but unsupported status value and assert both purposes reject it.

**Step 4: Run the focused test and verify RED**

Run:

```bash
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
```

Expected: failures showing push terminal-failure and no-status returned exit 3 instead of exit 0 or lacked `queue-clear` diagnostics.

**Step 5: Commit the failing tests**

```bash
git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
git commit -m "test(ci): define purpose-aware queue readiness"
```

### Task 2: Implement Purpose-Sensitive Final-State Dispatch

**Files:**

- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh:458-481`
- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh`

**Step 1: Implement push queue-clear behavior**

For `no-status`, retain the existing `--require-status` failure. Otherwise, return success for push with an explicit diagnostic such as:

```text
[ci-queue-wait] queue-clear state=no-status purpose=push branch=<branch>; no queued or running CI.
```

For `terminal-failure`, return success only for push with the same queue-clear wording. Merge must continue returning asserted non-readiness.

**Step 2: Preserve malformed and unknown rejection**

Keep `malformed`, `unknown`, and unrecognized states non-zero for both purposes.

**Step 3: Run focused tests and verify GREEN**

Run:

```bash
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh
```

Expected: both scripts exit 0 and report their regression suites passed.

**Step 4: Commit implementation**

```bash
git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
git commit -m "fix(ci): separate push queue clearance from merge readiness"
```

### Task 3: Verify, Review, and Document Evidence

**Files:**

- Modify: `docs/scratchpads/1146-ci-queue-purpose.md`

**Step 1: Run shell syntax and focused regressions**

```bash
bash -n packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
bash -n packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh
```

**Step 2: Run repository quality gates**

```bash
pnpm preflight
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm test
pnpm format:check
```

Expected: every command exits 0.

**Step 3: Obtain independent review**

Request review of the exact branch head. Remediate all blocking findings and rerun focused and baseline gates.

**Step 4: Record evidence and commit**

Update the scratchpad with test output, review result, and residual risk, then commit it:

```bash
git add docs/scratchpads/1146-ci-queue-purpose.md
git commit -m "docs(ci): record queue guard verification"
```

### Task 4: Keep the Merge Wrapper Aligned with the `next` Lane

**Files:**

- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-merge.sh:97-101`
- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh`

**Step 1: Write the failing regression**

Run the exact-head merge regression with its Gitea fixture targeting `next` and confirm the current wrapper rejects it because it only permits `main`.

**Step 2: Allow only documented integration targets**

Permit `main` and `next`; reject every other target. Do not alter exact-head pinning, queue-guard invocation, provider selection, or merge method enforcement.

**Step 3: Run focused merge regressions**

```bash
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-queue-branch.sh
bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid.sh
```

Expected: all pass, including a Gitea merge fixture targeting `next`.

**Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-merge.sh packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh
git commit -m "fix(ci): allow reviewed merges into next"
```

### Task 5: Activate and Deliver Through `next`

**Files:**

- Installed output: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh`

**Step 1: Activate through the canonical installer**

From the reviewed worktree, run the framework installer in sync-only keep mode so operator files remain protected:

```bash
MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1 MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep MOSAIC_SKIP_SKILLS_SYNC=1 \
  bash packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh
```

**Step 2: Verify installed/source parity**

```bash
cmp -s \
  packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh \
  ~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
```

Expected: exit 0.

**Step 3: Run mandatory pre-push queue guard**

```bash
~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push -B fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose
```

Expected: branch-absent or queue-clear success.

**Step 4: Push and open a PR against `next`**

```bash
git push -u origin fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose
~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-create.sh \
  -t "fix(ci): make queue guard purpose-sensitive" \
  -b "Closes #1146" \
  -B next \
  -H fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose \
  -i 1146
```

**Step 5: Complete reviewed integration**

Wait for exact-head terminal-green CI, obtain the required review, merge via the Mosaic wrapper, verify merged CI, and close #1146. Do not bypass any gate.
