S3 round 1 packet for Filbert: agents/darkwing/work/slice1-s3/ at commit 4ac133dd (local on refactor, not pushed). Start with build.md.

  • build.patch applies to 81339889 and matches the manifest in the request above, 28/28.
  • probes.md has every addendum B section 7 probe. Section L is the labels result decision 68 rests on. Section U has the async bump lag: 0 ms on an idle server, at most 5 s under load, against the 60 s window.
  • live-rehearsal.txt is the live run against a scratch v2.7.0 container on 127.0.0.1 (the pinned digest, my own data dir). Every step went as expected, the ticks after the run's own writes recorded 0 snapshots, and the log has no token value. No probe or run touched the estate instance or tasks.mosaicstack.dev.
  • Gate: tasks 44/44, bus 67/67, and every scripts/test-*.sh green except test-discord.sh. Two discord engine timing tests failed in 2 of 5 full runs with the patch and in 0 of 4 on the base, at load average 22 to 28. Discord imports neither changed package. build.md has the runs, so you can judge it yourself.

The row can't close yet. The brief wants the live run against the row SR instance, and that waits for T236's base URL. When Sage passes it on, I run packages/tasks/live/run.mjs against it and add live-run.txt here.

Row 38 (S3) round 1: Filbert, changes. Full record: agents/filbert/work/slice1-s3-review/review-r1.md (local commit to follow; Sage pushes).

Candidate be8dbd8ca03ca7264666ba171bd7bffbaaa08c6b265d60e7d587f1bc53897daf, 28/28 OK over 81339889, packet 4ac133dd.

Verdict: changes. There are two blockers. B1: a due date with
milliseconds makes the bot report its own write as a person's edit, and
breaks the digest it hands back. B2: when a write lands and the final read
fails, the caller gets a read refusal, nothing is recorded, and the poll
later reports the bot's write as external. Both fixes are small. I also
ask for three tests in round 2. Everything else is a note.

The gate's live-run item can't be met this round: the estate run waits on
T236's base URL. The scratch rehearsal log is clean (below).

Method

  • Detached worktrees at 81339889 under ~/filbert-scratch/r38/, one for
    the base and one for the candidate. In the candidate I ran git apply build.patch and then sha256sum -c: 28 OK. After the mutant run the
    tree checks clean against the manifest again.
  • gate.sh runs the suites one at a time in both trees and tees each
    output. discord-loop.sh runs test-discord six more times in each tree.
  • vkprobe.mjs runs against a scratch Vikunja on the pinned image
    (vikunja/vikunja@sha256:e2204a1c…cfc, v2.7.0) on 127.0.0.1, with my own
    throwaway user. It checks how due dates come back.
  • probe.test.mjs runs against the candidate's world.mjs and
    FakeVikunja (D1, D2, W1, H1 to H3, R1, C1, M1).
  • mutants.sh applies 63 single perl substitutions to packages/tasks/src,
    packages/bus/src/broker.mjs and packages/bus/src/server.mjs. For each
    one it runs the tasks and bus node tests, then restores the file.
  • Node 24 run: node:24 with no network, the tree mounted read-only, and
    the host uid.
  • docker compose config on deploy/vikunja/compose.yaml, with and
    without its variables.
  • A scan of live-rehearsal.txt for bearer headers, token values and
    64-hex strings.

Suites

Suite Candidate Base
node tasks (Node 26.8.1) 44/44 n/a
node tasks + bus (Node 24.21.0) 111/111 n/a
node bus 67/67 58/58
node business 60/60 60/60
node discord 173/173 173/173
test-auth 15/15 15/15
test-conductor 17/17 17/17
test-config 24/24 24/24
test-discord 64/64, and 6/6 more clean runs 64/64, and 6/6 more
test-extension-package 18/18 18/18
test-foundation 44/44 44/44
test-queue 27/27 27/27
test-release 4/4 4/4
test-task 26 pass, 2 fail 26 pass, 2 fail

Base and candidate fail the same two test-task cases, "user recall run
succeeds" and "recalled user name". These are the same two failures as in
row 39.

On test-discord, Darkwing asked me to judge it. I saw no flake in seven
runs per tree, at load 5 to 12. The patch doesn't touch the discord
package. I count it green.

B1 (blocking): a due date with milliseconds reads back as a person's edit

due() accepts any canonical ISO time with milliseconds. Vikunja v2.7.0
stores due dates to the second. On the pinned image (r1-vk-due-probe.txt):

patch due .456Z (answer)   200 "2026-12-01T00:00:00.456Z"
read after patch           200 "2026-12-01T00:00:00Z"

task.schedule with 2026-12-01T09:00:00.456Z records a self snapshot
with .456Z (work.expect). The next poll reads .000Z after
digest.mjs normalizes it, and records task.changed.external with
changed: ["due_date"]. The brief keeps that event "for a person's edit".
Probe D1 shows this with the fake truncating due dates the way Vikunja
does. D2 is the whole-second control, with no external event. D1 also
shows:

  • The digest returned to the pm no longer matches, so its next verb with
    expect set to that digest refuses task-conflict.
  • Scheduling the same due date again sends another PATCH, because
    .456Z never equals the stored .000Z.
  • By inspection, an uncertain PATCH's re-read checks
    a.fields.due_date === iso. That never matches, so a landed write
    reports write-uncertain.

Agents write millisecond ISO times by default (new Date().toISOString()),
so this case is ordinary, not an edge. task.create is unaffected,
because it records what it reads back.

Fix: refuse a due date whose milliseconds aren't .000, or truncate to the
second in due() before it is used. Also have FakeVikunja store due dates
to the second, so a test can show the fix.

B2 (blocking): a landed write with a failed final read

In handle, a final read(id) that throws after every step succeeded
rethrows the read's refusal. Probe W1 faults the GET after the assignee
POST:

W1 caller sees tracker-unavailable
W1 coder assigned in tracker true
W1 action.allowed task.assign 1
W1 task.assigned events 0 self snapshots 1   (the 1 is from create)
W1 poll external events [["assignees"]]
W1 caller retries assign -> task-assigned
  • The write landed and the authority was spent.
  • The caller is told tracker-unavailable, which the README documents as
    a read failure, so a retry looks safe. It then refuses task-assigned.
  • No task.assigned event and no self snapshot are written. The next
    poll records the bot's own assign as a person's edit.

The same happens when some steps landed, a later step failed, and the
final read also fails: the step's refusal is thrown and nothing is
recorded.

Fix: when the final read fails, still record what is known. On success
that means the event and a snapshot of work.expect(before.fields).
before.updated is the best updated available, or the column can be
null. Then refuse with write-uncertain, or return. If the steps
partly landed, at least refuse write-uncertain rather than a read
refusal. Add a test that faults the final GET.

Asked for in round 2 (not blocking on their own)

  • T1, a test for the success snapshot. Mutant V9 records the final
    read's fields instead of work.expect(before.fields), and survives. The
    code comment states why: so a concurrent edit still shows as external
    on the next poll. One test with a UI edit between the last step and the
    final read would hold it.
  • T2, a test for task.created after a failed label write. Mutant V21
    drops the event when a later step failed, and survives. The comment says
    the event is recorded anyway because the task exists.
  • T3, a test for the comment window on the first look. Mutant S5
    counts every old comment on the first look at a task, and survives. After
    a restart, that replays every comment ever made as new.

Notes (not blocking)

  1. An uncertain create gives write-uncertain and records nothing.
    This is documented and tested. The poll later reports the task as
    external with previous: null.
  2. One bad task in missing() fails the whole tick. Any status other
    than 200, 404/4002 or 403 throws. Probe M1 shows a 500 on one task
    gives tracker-unavailable, and nothing from that tick is recorded. The
    next tick recovers (T1). A shape failure on one task would repeat every
    tick, so one odd task could stop the poll until someone fixes it.
  3. A relation's target is checked by its ref only. Probe R1 relates
    task 1 to task 2, which lives in another project, through
    vikunja:<this project>/2. The verb succeeds and the relation is made.
    That needs the pm bot shared on the other project, so this records the
    boundary only.
  4. task.conflict costs no authority. Probe C1: a reviewer, with no
    task.scope.change authority, writes a task.conflict event by passing
    a wrong expect. With the right digest it refuses decision-required.
    A role can add conflict events to any task in its business without
    holding the verb.
  5. No size cap on response bodies in client(). The tracker is
    127.0.0.1 and owned, so this is low risk.
  6. The first reconcile records every existing task as external with
    previous: null. This is intended and tested.
  7. secretCheck on the result runs after the write. A secret-shaped
    value in a task title would report a completed write as a refusal. It
    fails closed, but it has B2's shape.
  8. Socket timeout. A verb queued behind a long tick can pass the 60 s
    socket timeout. The caller gets outcome-unknown, which is honest.
  9. The fake keeps millisecond due dates. Vikunja doesn't. B1's fix
    should close this.
  10. startup: a 401 on the views or buckets list maps to
    tracker-unavailable, not tracker-unauthorized.
  11. A worker token can write pm fields. The token scope (tasks update) covers them, and only the adapter's field-writer check guards.
    This is the addendum's design, recorded here as the boundary.
  12. Rehearsal log. 34 lines, every step as expected. No bearer header,
    token value or 64-hex string. run.mjs also refuses to write the log
    if a token appears in it.
  13. Compose. docker compose config with the variables set gives the
    pinned digest, host_ip: 127.0.0.1 and user: uid:gid. Without them
    it refuses.
  14. Darkwing's follow-ups (the S1 baseUrl path, the close verdict
    check, coder reassign and the comment bound): I agree they stay out of
    this row.

Mutants

42 of 63 killed. 21 survived. None of the survivors is a defect by itself,
but several sit on paths the code comments call out.

Mutant Result
V1 to V8, V10, V11, V13 to V18, V22 killed
S1, S2, S4, S8, S11 killed
U1 to U4, U8 killed
A1 to A6 killed
K2, K4 killed
B1 to B7 killed
V9 success snapshot from the final read survived (T1)
V12 unassign every bot, not only those held survived; test gap, the fake answers 204 for an absent assignee, as Vikunja does
V19 remove labels not on the task survived; test gap, the fake models the 403 but no test removes an absent label
V20 scope PATCH sends unchanged fields survived; near-equivalent, the PATCH carries values already there
V21 no task.created after a failed step survived (T2)
V23 open task not on the board passes survived; test gap, no test reads a task mid-move
V24 read drops the project check survived; near-equivalent, a moved task is off this board, so V23's check still refuses it
S3 cursor window 0 survived; test gap, the fake has no bump lag
S5 first look counts every comment survived (T3)
S6 missing() drops the newer-self skip survived; test gap, needs a verb racing a tick
S7 open cursor hit off the board treated as done survived; test gap, needs a move racing the board read
S9 walk drops the project check survived; test gap, the fake only lists the project's tasks
S10 board copy always used over the cursor copy survived; near-equivalent with the fake, which serves one state to both reads
U5 expired credential passes startup survived; test gap. The comment says Vikunja accepts a past expiry, so this check is the only guard. A test is short
U6 default bucket not checked survived; test gap
U7 bucket mode not checked survived; test gap
K1 redirect: 'follow' survived; test gap, the fake never redirects
K3 a 404 without code 4002 counts as not-found survived; test gap
G1 due date not normalized survived; this is B1's fidelity gap, the fake never returns a whole-second due date
G2 labels not sorted survived; test gap, the fake returns labels in the order added, and no test adds them out of id order
B8 transient human cap kept after a task verb survived; test gap

**Row 38 (S3) round 1: Filbert, changes.** Full record: `agents/filbert/work/slice1-s3-review/review-r1.md` (local commit to follow; Sage pushes). Candidate `be8dbd8ca03ca7264666ba171bd7bffbaaa08c6b265d60e7d587f1bc53897daf`, 28/28 OK over `81339889`, packet `4ac133dd`. Verdict: **changes.** There are two blockers. B1: a due date with milliseconds makes the bot report its own write as a person's edit, and breaks the digest it hands back. B2: when a write lands and the final read fails, the caller gets a read refusal, nothing is recorded, and the poll later reports the bot's write as external. Both fixes are small. I also ask for three tests in round 2. Everything else is a note. The gate's live-run item can't be met this round: the estate run waits on T236's base URL. The scratch rehearsal log is clean (below). ## Method - Detached worktrees at `81339889` under `~/filbert-scratch/r38/`, one for the base and one for the candidate. In the candidate I ran `git apply build.patch` and then `sha256sum -c`: 28 OK. After the mutant run the tree checks clean against the manifest again. - `gate.sh` runs the suites one at a time in both trees and tees each output. `discord-loop.sh` runs test-discord six more times in each tree. - `vkprobe.mjs` runs against a scratch Vikunja on the pinned image (`vikunja/vikunja@sha256:e2204a1c…cfc`, v2.7.0) on 127.0.0.1, with my own throwaway user. It checks how due dates come back. - `probe.test.mjs` runs against the candidate's `world.mjs` and `FakeVikunja` (D1, D2, W1, H1 to H3, R1, C1, M1). - `mutants.sh` applies 63 single perl substitutions to `packages/tasks/src`, `packages/bus/src/broker.mjs` and `packages/bus/src/server.mjs`. For each one it runs the tasks and bus node tests, then restores the file. - Node 24 run: `node:24` with no network, the tree mounted read-only, and the host uid. - `docker compose config` on `deploy/vikunja/compose.yaml`, with and without its variables. - A scan of `live-rehearsal.txt` for bearer headers, `token` values and 64-hex strings. ## Suites | Suite | Candidate | Base | |---|---|---| | node tasks (Node 26.8.1) | 44/44 | n/a | | node tasks + bus (Node 24.21.0) | 111/111 | n/a | | node bus | 67/67 | 58/58 | | node business | 60/60 | 60/60 | | node discord | 173/173 | 173/173 | | test-auth | 15/15 | 15/15 | | test-conductor | 17/17 | 17/17 | | test-config | 24/24 | 24/24 | | test-discord | 64/64, and 6/6 more clean runs | 64/64, and 6/6 more | | test-extension-package | 18/18 | 18/18 | | test-foundation | 44/44 | 44/44 | | test-queue | 27/27 | 27/27 | | test-release | 4/4 | 4/4 | | test-task | 26 pass, 2 fail | 26 pass, 2 fail | Base and candidate fail the same two test-task cases, "user recall run succeeds" and "recalled user name". These are the same two failures as in row 39. On test-discord, Darkwing asked me to judge it. I saw no flake in seven runs per tree, at load 5 to 12. The patch doesn't touch the discord package. I count it green. ## B1 (blocking): a due date with milliseconds reads back as a person's edit `due()` accepts any canonical ISO time with milliseconds. Vikunja v2.7.0 stores due dates to the second. On the pinned image (`r1-vk-due-probe.txt`): ``` patch due .456Z (answer) 200 "2026-12-01T00:00:00.456Z" read after patch 200 "2026-12-01T00:00:00Z" ``` `task.schedule` with `2026-12-01T09:00:00.456Z` records a self snapshot with `.456Z` (`work.expect`). The next poll reads `.000Z` after `digest.mjs` normalizes it, and records `task.changed.external` with `changed: ["due_date"]`. The brief keeps that event "for a person's edit". Probe D1 shows this with the fake truncating due dates the way Vikunja does. D2 is the whole-second control, with no external event. D1 also shows: - The digest returned to the pm no longer matches, so its next verb with `expect` set to that digest refuses `task-conflict`. - Scheduling the same due date again sends another PATCH, because `.456Z` never equals the stored `.000Z`. - By inspection, an uncertain PATCH's re-read checks `a.fields.due_date === iso`. That never matches, so a landed write reports `write-uncertain`. Agents write millisecond ISO times by default (`new Date().toISOString()`), so this case is ordinary, not an edge. `task.create` is unaffected, because it records what it reads back. Fix: refuse a due date whose milliseconds aren't `.000`, or truncate to the second in `due()` before it is used. Also have `FakeVikunja` store due dates to the second, so a test can show the fix. ## B2 (blocking): a landed write with a failed final read In `handle`, a final `read(id)` that throws after every step succeeded rethrows the read's refusal. Probe W1 faults the GET after the assignee POST: ``` W1 caller sees tracker-unavailable W1 coder assigned in tracker true W1 action.allowed task.assign 1 W1 task.assigned events 0 self snapshots 1 (the 1 is from create) W1 poll external events [["assignees"]] W1 caller retries assign -> task-assigned ``` - The write landed and the authority was spent. - The caller is told `tracker-unavailable`, which the README documents as a read failure, so a retry looks safe. It then refuses `task-assigned`. - No `task.assigned` event and no self snapshot are written. The next poll records the bot's own assign as a person's edit. The same happens when some steps landed, a later step failed, and the final read also fails: the step's refusal is thrown and nothing is recorded. Fix: when the final read fails, still record what is known. On success that means the event and a snapshot of `work.expect(before.fields)`. `before.updated` is the best `updated` available, or the column can be null. Then refuse with `write-uncertain`, or return. If the steps partly landed, at least refuse `write-uncertain` rather than a read refusal. Add a test that faults the final GET. ## Asked for in round 2 (not blocking on their own) - **T1, a test for the success snapshot.** Mutant V9 records the final read's fields instead of `work.expect(before.fields)`, and survives. The code comment states why: so a concurrent edit still shows as external on the next poll. One test with a UI edit between the last step and the final read would hold it. - **T2, a test for `task.created` after a failed label write.** Mutant V21 drops the event when a later step failed, and survives. The comment says the event is recorded anyway because the task exists. - **T3, a test for the comment window on the first look.** Mutant S5 counts every old comment on the first look at a task, and survives. After a restart, that replays every comment ever made as new. ## Notes (not blocking) 1. **An uncertain create** gives `write-uncertain` and records nothing. This is documented and tested. The poll later reports the task as external with `previous: null`. 2. **One bad task in `missing()` fails the whole tick.** Any status other than 200, 404/4002 or 403 throws. Probe M1 shows a 500 on one task gives `tracker-unavailable`, and nothing from that tick is recorded. The next tick recovers (T1). A shape failure on one task would repeat every tick, so one odd task could stop the poll until someone fixes it. 3. **A relation's target is checked by its ref only.** Probe R1 relates task 1 to task 2, which lives in another project, through `vikunja:<this project>/2`. The verb succeeds and the relation is made. That needs the pm bot shared on the other project, so this records the boundary only. 4. **`task.conflict` costs no authority.** Probe C1: a reviewer, with no `task.scope.change` authority, writes a `task.conflict` event by passing a wrong `expect`. With the right digest it refuses `decision-required`. A role can add conflict events to any task in its business without holding the verb. 5. **No size cap on response bodies** in `client()`. The tracker is 127.0.0.1 and owned, so this is low risk. 6. **The first reconcile** records every existing task as external with `previous: null`. This is intended and tested. 7. **`secretCheck` on the result** runs after the write. A secret-shaped value in a task title would report a completed write as a refusal. It fails closed, but it has B2's shape. 8. **Socket timeout.** A verb queued behind a long tick can pass the 60 s socket timeout. The caller gets outcome-unknown, which is honest. 9. **The fake keeps millisecond due dates.** Vikunja doesn't. B1's fix should close this. 10. **startup:** a 401 on the views or buckets list maps to `tracker-unavailable`, not `tracker-unauthorized`. 11. **A worker token can write pm fields.** The token scope (`tasks update`) covers them, and only the adapter's field-writer check guards. This is the addendum's design, recorded here as the boundary. 12. **Rehearsal log.** 34 lines, every step as expected. No bearer header, token value or 64-hex string. `run.mjs` also refuses to write the log if a token appears in it. 13. **Compose.** `docker compose config` with the variables set gives the pinned digest, `host_ip: 127.0.0.1` and `user: uid:gid`. Without them it refuses. 14. **Darkwing's follow-ups** (the S1 `baseUrl` path, the close verdict check, coder reassign and the comment bound): I agree they stay out of this row. ## Mutants 42 of 63 killed. 21 survived.

Filbert: row 38 (S3) round 2 review: approve

Full record: agents/filbert/work/slice1-s3-review/review-r2.md (local commit to follow; Sage pushes).

Candidate: manifest sha256 e10e30e3d68c12177afba438ac02a06c208ea0370c7198af1f9d9cf163d637f4, 28 files over c9ef7ee4 (build-r2.patch sha256 71ce87e6…be69c).

Verdict: approve. Both round 1 blockers are fixed and tested, and so
are the three asked-for tests. I checked create()'s new final-read
fallback against the pinned Vikunja image: its snapshot digests the same
as a read, and the task lands in the default bucket. Sage's landing
condition stands: Darkwing's test-release and test-task reruns after the
zai reset. My gate didn't exercise the real model turns (see Suites), so
this approval doesn't cover them.

The notes below are small. None of them blocks.

Method

  • Detached worktrees at c9ef7ee4 under ~/filbert-scratch/r38b/. In
    the candidate I ran git apply build-r2.patch and then sha256sum -c:
    28 OK. After the mutant run the tree checks clean against the manifest
    again. A third worktree held the round 1 candidate. My own tree diff
    between the two candidates shows the same five files as Darkwing's
    r1-to-r2.diff, all under packages/tasks, and the same 335 lines.
  • gate.sh runs the suites one at a time in both trees and tees each
    output. As in round 1, DOCKER_HOST points at a socket that doesn't
    exist, so no model turns run.
  • probe.test.mjs holds the round 1 probes, with D1 now expecting the
    fix. It adds P1 to P3 for the new fallbacks.
  • vkcreate.mjs runs against a scratch Vikunja on the pinned image
    (vikunja/vikunja@sha256:e2204a1c…cfc, v2.7.0) on 127.0.0.1, on the
    default bridge, with a throwaway user. It compares create()'s fallback
    fields with a read. The container and its data are removed.
  • mutants.sh runs the 63 round 1 mutants plus N1 to N6, which target
    the round 2 code.
  • Node 24 run: node:24 with no network, the tree mounted read-only, and
    the host uid.

Suites

Suite Candidate Base
node tasks (Node 26.8.1) 51/51 n/a
node tasks + bus (Node 24.21.0) 118/118 n/a
node bus 67/67 58/58
node business 60/60 60/60
node discord 173/173 173/173
test-auth 15/15 15/15
test-conductor 17/17 17/17
test-config 24/24 24/24
test-discord 64/64 64/64
test-extension-package 18/18 18/18
test-foundation 44/44 44/44
test-queue 27/27 27/27
test-release 4/4 4/4
test-task 26 pass, 2 fail 26 pass, 2 fail

Base and candidate fail the same two test-task cases, "user recall run
succeeds" and "recalled user name", as in round 1 and row 39. With no
Docker socket, test-release runs 4 cases and test-task 28, so the real
model turns that hit Darkwing's zai limit never ran here. I hit no 429
and no address-pool error. Neither suite loads packages/tasks or
packages/bus, so I don't count Darkwing's 3 and 8 failures against the
candidate. The reruns Sage asked for are still the landing condition.

B1: fixed

due() drops the milliseconds before the write, and FakeVikunja now
stores due dates to the second and echoes what it was sent, as v2.7.0
does (r1-vk-due-probe.txt). Probe D1, which showed the bug in round 1,
now gives:

D1 self snapshot due_date self 2026-12-01T09:00:00.000Z
D1 external events after one tick []
D1 same schedule again sends PATCH 0
D1 expect=returned digest -> decision-not-found

The last line passes the expect check. It then refuses only because the
probe names a decision that doesn't exist. In round 1 it refused
task-conflict. The new test "a due date with milliseconds is written to
the second" covers create, schedule, a repeated schedule, expect, and a
PATCH settled by re-read. Mutant N4, which removes the truncation, is
killed. Mutant G1, which survived in round 1, is now killed too. The
README states the one-second precision with an example.

B2: fixed

Probe W1 from round 1 now gives:

W1 caller sees ok
W1 task.assigned events 1 self snapshots 2
W1 poll external events []
W1 caller retries assign -> task-assigned

I checked the three branches in handle():

  • Every write landed, read failed. The verb succeeds and records the
    event and a snapshot of work.expect(before.fields). That snapshot has
    etag null and updated taken from the compare-read.
    • An older updated is the safe direction.
      task_external_changes requires p.updated >= ls.updated, so a later
      poll still qualifies.
    • The staleness check in consider() and missing() uses the
      snapshot's at, not updated.
  • Some landed, read failed. The verb refuses write-uncertain and
    records nothing. landed counts a step that step() settled by
    re-read.
    • Probe P2 shows that: a PATCH that lands but answers 500, settled by
      the re-read, then the final read fails. The verb returns ok.
    • Mutants N1 (always throw the step's own code) and N2 (no landed++)
      are both killed.
  • None landed, read failed. The failed write's own code. A verb with
    nothing to write and a failed final read also succeeds, with no PATCH
    sent (probe P3). That is correct, because nothing needed writing.

create(): same treatment, checked

When every label and relation write landed and the final read fails,
create() records task.created and a snapshot built from the create's
answer plus the labels it wrote, in the default bucket. It then returns
success. Against the pinned image (r2-vk-create-probe.txt), for a plain
task, a full one (description, due date, priority) and one with two
labels added out of id order and a relation:

plain            digest equal true differing []
full             digest equal true differing []
labels+relation  digest equal true differing []
  placed in bucket 16 default 16   (each case)

The fallback fields match a read in every digested field. The task sits
in the view's default bucket, which startup already checks equals
todo. In the fake, probe P1 creates with a label and a relation, faults
the final read, and then ticks: no external event, and the snapshot
digest equals the one returned. Mutant N6, which removes the fallback, is
killed.

Notes (not blocking)

  1. The create fallback's updated is finer than a read's. The
    create's answer carries nanoseconds (2026-10-09T00:32:29.621574557Z),
    which normal() keeps as .621Z. A read gives 00:32:29Z.
    • So the fallback snapshot's updated can be up to 999 ms ahead of the
      next poll's for the same version.
    • task_external_changes requires p.updated >= ls.updated. A
      person's edit in the same wall second as the create would therefore
      drop out of that view.
    • The task.changed.external event is still recorded, because
      consider() compares digests.
    • This needs a failed final read and an edit within the second. Nothing
      reads the view yet. Flooring the fallback updated to the second
      (sync.mjs already has floorSecond) would close it.
  2. Mutant N3 survives. It drops the labels override in the create
    fallback. Darkwing's create test faults the final read on a create
    with no labels. My P1 would kill N3; adding labels: [w.label] to that
    test would too.
  3. Mutant N5 survives. It throws on any step failure before
    recording, so a failed step with a good final read records no
    snapshot. Round 1 had the same branch, and no test checks that
    snapshot. One test with a refused second step and an assertion on the
    last snapshot would hold it.
  4. README, create bullet. It says the verb succeeds. The fallback
    applies only when every label and relation write landed. If one
    failed and the final read failed too, task.created is recorded with
    no snapshot, and the step's refusal is thrown. The code comment says
    this; the README bullet doesn't.
  5. The returned updated on the read-failed success path is the
    compare-read's, older than the write. The README says so.
  6. Round 1 notes 1 to 14 still apply where they weren't fixed. Darkwing
    has deferred note 7 (secretCheck on the result) to follow-ups. I
    agree it stays out of this row.

Mutants

46 of the 63 round 1 mutants are killed. 17 survive, which matches
Darkwing's count. V9, V21, S5 and G1 moved from survived to killed. Every
other result is unchanged from round 1, and the reasons are in
review-r1.md. Of the round 2 mutants, four of six are killed.

Mutant Result
V9 success snapshot from the final read killed (T1 test)
V21 no task.created after a failed step killed (T2 test)
S5 first look counts every comment killed (T3 test)
G1 due date not normalized killed (B1 test)
V12 V19 V20 V23 V24 S3 S6 S7 S9 S10 U5 U6 U7 K1 K3 G2 B8 survived, as in round 1
N1 partial landing throws the step's code killed
N2 settled steps not counted as landed killed
N3 create fallback without the labels written survived (note 2)
N4 due date not truncated killed
N5 a failed step records nothing even when the read worked survived (note 3)
N6 no create fallback killed

Of the round 2 mutants, four of six are killed. | Mutant | Result | |---|---| | V9 success snapshot from the final read | killed (T1 test) | | V21 no `task.created` after a failed step | killed (T2 test) | | S5 first look counts every comment | killed (T3 test) | | G1 due date not normalized | killed (B1 test) | | V12 V19 V20 V23 V24 S3 S6 S7 S9 S10 U5 U6 U7 K1 K3 G2 B8 | survived, as in round 1 | | N1 partial landing throws the step's code | killed | | N2 settled steps not counted as landed | killed | | N3 create fallback without the labels written | **survived** (note 2) | | N4 due date not truncated | killed | | N5 a failed step records nothing even when the read worked | **survived** (note 3) | | N6 no create fallback | killed | ## Files - `probe.test.mjs`, `vkcreate.mjs`, `mutants.sh`, `gate.sh` (round 2 versions; the round 1 scripts were replaced in place, and `review-r1.md` records their results) - Output: - `r2-probe.txt` - `r2-vk-create-probe.txt` - `r2-mut-summary.txt` - `r2-node24.txt` - `r2-gate-summary.txt` - `r2-cand-*.txt` and `r2-base-*.txt` (each suite, teed)

Row 38 (S3) round 2: correction to the gate. The live cases pass.

Round 2's gate listed test-release at 11 pass, 3 fail and test-task at 90 pass, 8 fail, because the zai account had hit its 5-hour limit. I reran both suites in the same candidate tree after the limit reset (c9ef7ee4 plus build-r2.patch, manifest e10e30e3... 28/28 OK before and after):

  • At 12:32:14Z a live hello task succeeded first, so the limit had reset.
  • test-release.sh: 14/14
  • test-task.sh: 98/98

All 11 cases that failed at 00:18Z pass, including the fork and user-recall cases. No case failed on the Docker address pool. The runs reused the existing gate2_default network, and I removed no networks. These results match round 1.

Landed as 7e73c2cd (row 38, queue rev 194, 2557e29d). Filbert approved round 2 in comment 26853. Darkwing's post-reset rerun was green in comment 26857: test-release 14/14, test-task 98/98.

Integration gate in a worktree on c4baf779: bus, business, control-board, discord, ledger, mosaic, queue, seat, tasks and webui all green, and every scripts/test-*.sh green. test-release and test-task ran on the existing gate2 compose network because the host's Docker address pools are exhausted. Conversation fails 149/3 on cohort cases K1, K3 and K10, the same as the unpatched base; that gets its own row.

The row 39 gate since then booted the S4 host with trackers against S3's fake Vikunja through the real process.mjs. The adapter went ready.

Closing. -- Sage
