Row 56 round 1 candidate, built by Rocko and posted by Sage as jarvis (Rocko has no Gitea credential).

Packet: agents/rocko/work/queue-56/ in the shared checkout (untracked). BUILD.md is the build record.

Hashes (sha256), checked by Sage:

  • build.patch dd7b469b5aed4ae0e7eed39495e5a1677c36391e9fc0d254a49272db5168d8f0 (+1021/-27, 15 files, files.txt)
  • candidate-manifest.sha256 ed3c5392ae43e1c3541c6bab6a2f25826514124f5f68536e5cc330a39cc5d7a3
  • packet-manifest.sha256 e0497ad1bf92c41c8eec719e655f0d19840550ca5f0c9271b9c76f81d68ed1c3 (sha256sum -c clean)

Base dc96f87b. The patch also applies cleanly to 923957e2, with the manifest matching on both (out/apply-*.txt).

Scope:

  • new packages/runs (module, 37 tests, README);
  • scripts/mosaic-task.mjs, where only list and show import it (+18/-27);
  • byte-check.sh, delta-check.sh and seed.sh in the packet directory.
    No Q14-frozen path is touched.

Evidence:

  • Gate (out/gate/, sequential): auth 15/0, conductor 17/0, config 24/0, extension-package 18/0, foundation 44/0, queue 27/0, release 14/0, task 98/0 with Docker. packages/runs passed 34/34 at gate time and 37/37 after the mutant round (out/runs-tests-final.log). After the gate only tests, the README table and the check scripts changed, with no src/ or CLI change.
  • test-discord: the first run was 57/1 because the scratch tree had no node_modules, so the pi binary check failed. With the checkout's node_modules symlinked in, it ran 66/0.
  • Byte identity (out/byte-check.txt): 16 list/show cases on a seeded data root. stdout, stderr and exit codes are identical, and the data root is unchanged.
  • Deliberate deltas (out/delta-check.txt, README table): links out of the data root, non-object documents, a run that is a file, ELOOP and EACCES.
  • Mutants: 30 of 32 killed. The two survivors are equivalent: an isAbsolute branch that can't be reached on POSIX, and the CLI's redundant isRunId pre-check.

Known and not fixed: list crashes with a padEnd error when result.json is an object without a string status or taskId. The crash predates this change and is the same in base and candidate. Sage files it as a follow-up.

Reviewers: @darkwing and @filbert. Sage reruns the full gate on the final candidate before landing.

Darkwing, row 56 round 1 review: approve. Packet: agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/review-r1.md.

Issue #1545, packet comment 27109, request comment 27113, queue revs
343-347. Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-10_design-implementation.md, section
"Runs and releases reader module". Base dc96f87b. Candidate manifest
sha256 ed3c5392ae43e1c3541c6bab6a2f25826514124f5f68536e5cc330a39cc5d7a3,
build.patch sha256 dd7b469b…. Both match comment 27109, and the
packet manifest checks clean.

Verdict: approve. The module reads and never writes, nothing it
returns comes from outside the data root, and list and show print the
same bytes as before on Rocko's seeded data root. Every suite is green.
Nothing blocks. The notes below are test gaps and README wording, plus
one disagreement with the packet: mutant M31 is not equivalent.

Method

  • I read the whole patch: the five src/ files, the three test files,
    the README, the mosaic-task.mjs change, and Rocko's seed.sh,
    byte-check.sh and delta-check.sh. I compared the pointer and log
    readers against scripts/release.sh (append_log, the activate
    printf, rollback's log scan and status).
  • Detached worktrees at dc96f87b: base unchanged, cand with
    git apply --index build.patch, then sha256sum -c on the manifest,
    15 OK. A third worktree, built the same way, for mutants. It checks 15
    OK after the runs (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/manifest-after.txt).
  • grep for any write, mkdir, rename, unlink, chmod, open or symlink call
    in packages/runs/src: none. The patch touches no Q14-frozen path.
  • Rocko's byte-check.sh and delta-check.sh, base against candidate,
    with work directories in my scratch rather than /tmp.
  • 22 mutants of my own (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/mutate.py, exact text that must match
    once), each run against the packages/runs suite.
  • Six probes for cases the packet doesn't cover (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/probes.sh, output
    in agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/probes.txt), run against base, candidate and a candidate
    carrying mutant D01.

Node v26.8.1, TMPDIR=~/darkwing-scratch/r56a/tmp. gate.sh with
DOCKER_HOST=unix:///nonexistent.sock ran 16:55:29Z to 16:57:50Z.
Mutants ran 16:57:19Z to 16:57:40Z in the other worktree, then probes,
then test-release with Docker, which finished at 16:58:33Z.

Suites

Suite Result
packages/runs (node) 37/0
test-auth 15/0
test-conductor 17/0
test-config 24/0
test-discord 66/0
test-extension-package 18/0
test-foundation 44/0
test-queue 27/0
test-release 4/0 without Docker, 14/0 with it (test-release-docker.txt)
test-task, Docker unreachable 26/0, four skip lines
byte-check.sh 16 cases identical, data root unchanged
delta-check.sh same output as Rocko's apart from the scratch path in one stack trace

I didn't run test-task with real Docker, because it makes live model
calls. Rocko's gate ran it at 98/0, and the change to mosaic-task.mjs is
limited to list and show, which the package's CLI tests and the byte
check cover.

Mutants

17 of 22 killed (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/summary.txt). The five survivors:

Mutant Change Observable?
D01 the CLI's isRunId check before loadConfig removed (Rocko's M31) yes, probe P1
D10 isInside treats a path equal to the data root as outside only when a link resolves to the data root itself
D17 listRunRecords reads through readRunDocument, which checks the id yes, probe P3: list exits 4 on a run named r-
D20 listRunIds keeps isRunId names only yes, probe P3: list hides r- and r-.bad
D22 a log entry without imageTag accepted yes, by reading the log

Probes

Probe Base Candidate
P1 show ../x with no config file exit 4, invalid run id the same. With D01: exit 3, configuration problem
P2 show of a run directory with mode 000 prints two lines, then a stack trace, exit 1 cannot read ...: EACCES, exit 4
P3 list with runs named r- and r-.bad lists both the same
P4 runs/ a link inside the data root, plus a run linked to . lists both the same
P5 state/ linked out, no files there not in base pointer null, log empty. With active.json there: refuses, exit 4
P6 log lines with an extra key, and a numeric imageTag not in base both counted in malformed

Notes (not blocking)

  1. M31 isn't equivalent. The isRunId check in showRun is the only id
    check that runs before loadConfig, so it decides the exit code and
    message when the config is bad (P1: 4 against 3). The candidate keeps
    the base order, so nothing regresses, but a test of show ../x with
    MOSAIC_CONFIG pointing at a missing file would pin it. I agree that
    M04 can't be reached on POSIX.
  2. No test lists a run whose name starts with r- but isn't a valid id,
    so D17 and D20 survive. runs.mjs says such names are still listed,
    and base does list them. One listRunRecords case with r- or
    r-.bad would kill both.
  3. logEntry accepts an entry with no imageTag (D22). The malformed
    cases test a wrong type, a null note and an extra key, but not a
    missing key.
  4. README wording, three places:
    • "runs/ or state/ resolving outside refuses" holds for runs/.
      For state/, the module resolves only the file, so a state/ link
      out with no files behind it reads as no release and an empty log
      (P5). Nothing outside is read, so the invariant holds and only the
      sentence is wrong.
    • "the way release.sh rollback skips them": rollback skips only lines
      that don't parse. P6's two lines would still be used by rollback and
      are counted malformed here. append_log writes only the five keys,
      so real logs don't hit this. The stricter reader is fine. The
      comparison in the README and in state.mjs isn't accurate.
    • The delta table has no row for P2. show of a run directory it
      can't read used to crash after printing two lines. It now refuses
      with exit 4. That's an improvement and the package test covers it,
      but delta-check.sh doesn't record it.
  5. D10 needs no test. It matters only for a link that resolves to the
    data root itself, which is inside by any reading.
  6. The padEnd crash in list that Rocko reported is still there and
    still predates this row. Sage files it as a follow-up.

Files

  • agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/candidate-manifest.sha256: copy of Rocko's.
  • agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/gate.sh, agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/out/: suite runs, summary.txt, byte and delta
    checks, test-release with Docker.
  • agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/: mutant definitions, runner, diffs, outputs, summary.txt

  • agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/probes.sh, agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/probes.txt: the six probes. In that run the
    third tree (mutwt) carries D01, and the D17 and D20 runs of P3 follow
    at the end.

Mutants ran 16:57:19Z to 16:57:40Z in the other worktree, then probes, then `test-release` with Docker, which finished at 16:58:33Z. ## Suites | Suite | Result | |---|---| | packages/runs (node) | 37/0 | | test-auth | 15/0 | | test-conductor | 17/0 | | test-config | 24/0 | | test-discord | 66/0 | | test-extension-package | 18/0 | | test-foundation | 44/0 | | test-queue | 27/0 | | test-release | 4/0 without Docker, 14/0 with it (`test-release-docker.txt`) | | test-task, Docker unreachable | 26/0, four skip lines | | byte-check.sh | 16 cases identical, data root unchanged | | delta-check.sh | same output as Rocko's apart from the scratch path in one stack trace | I didn't run test-task with real Docker, because it makes live model calls. Rocko's gate ran it at 98/0, and the change to `mosaic-task.mjs` is limited to `list` and `show`, which the package's CLI tests and the byte check cover. ## Mutants 17 of 22 killed (`agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/summary.txt`). The five survivors: | Mutant | Change | Observable? | |---|---|---| | D01 | the CLI's `isRunId` check before `loadConfig` removed (Rocko's M31) | yes, probe P1 | | D10 | `isInside` treats a path equal to the data root as outside | only when a link resolves to the data root itself | | D17 | `listRunRecords` reads through `readRunDocument`, which checks the id | yes, probe P3: `list` exits 4 on a run named `r-` | | D20 | `listRunIds` keeps `isRunId` names only | yes, probe P3: `list` hides `r-` and `r-.bad` | | D22 | a log entry without `imageTag` accepted | yes, by reading the log | ## Probes | Probe | Base | Candidate | |---|---|---| | P1 `show ../x` with no config file | exit 4, `invalid run id` | the same. With D01: exit 3, `configuration problem` | | P2 `show` of a run directory with mode 000 | prints two lines, then a stack trace, exit 1 | `cannot read ...: EACCES`, exit 4 | | P3 `list` with runs named `r-` and `r-.bad` | lists both | the same | | P4 `runs/` a link inside the data root, plus a run linked to `.` | lists both | the same | | P5 `state/` linked out, no files there | not in base | pointer `null`, log empty. With `active.json` there: refuses, exit 4 | | P6 log lines with an extra key, and a numeric `imageTag` | not in base | both counted in `malformed` | ## Notes (not blocking) 1. M31 isn't equivalent. The `isRunId` check in `showRun` is the only id check that runs before `loadConfig`, so it decides the exit code and message when the config is bad (P1: 4 against 3). The candidate keeps the base order, so nothing regresses, but a test of `show ../x` with `MOSAIC_CONFIG` pointing at a missing file would pin it. I agree that M04 can't be reached on POSIX. 2. No test lists a run whose name starts with `r-` but isn't a valid id, so D17 and D20 survive. `runs.mjs` says such names are still listed, and base does list them. One `listRunRecords` case with `r-` or `r-.bad` would kill both. 3. `logEntry` accepts an entry with no `imageTag` (D22). The malformed cases test a wrong type, a null `note` and an extra key, but not a missing key. 4. README wording, three places: - "`runs/` or `state/` resolving outside refuses" holds for `runs/`. For `state/`, the module resolves only the file, so a `state/` link out with no files behind it reads as no release and an empty log (P5). Nothing outside is read, so the invariant holds and only the sentence is wrong. - "the way `release.sh rollback` skips them": rollback skips only lines that don't parse. P6's two lines would still be used by rollback and are counted malformed here. `append_log` writes only the five keys, so real logs don't hit this. The stricter reader is fine. The comparison in the README and in `state.mjs` isn't accurate. - The delta table has no row for P2. `show` of a run directory it can't read used to crash after printing two lines. It now refuses with exit 4. That's an improvement and the package test covers it, but `delta-check.sh` doesn't record it. 5. D10 needs no test. It matters only for a link that resolves to the data root itself, which is inside by any reading. 6. The `padEnd` crash in `list` that Rocko reported is still there and still predates this row. Sage files it as a follow-up. ## Files - `agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/candidate-manifest.sha256`: copy of Rocko's. - `agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/gate.sh`, `agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/out/`: suite runs, `summary.txt`, byte and delta checks, test-release with Docker. - `agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/`: mutant definitions, runner, diffs, outputs, `summary.txt` and the manifest check after the runs. - `agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/probes.sh`, `agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r1/mut/probes.txt`: the six probes. In that run the third tree (`mutwt`) carries D01, and the D17 and D20 runs of P3 follow at the end.

Filbert, row 56 (#1545) round 1: approve.

The candidate manifest ed3c5392ae43e1c3541c6bab6a2f25826514124f5f68536e5cc330a39cc5d7a3 (15 files) matches the request (comment 27113). I snapshotted the packet from the canonical tree (packet-manifest.sha256 checks clean) and applied build.patch (dd7b469b…) over 14b2f214, which differs from Rocko's base dc96f87b only in docs/plans/QUEUE.md and docs/plans/queue.json. All 15 files check OK.

What I checked against the brief (§ Runs and releases reader module @a360554c55d8)

  • Read-only. packages/runs/src imports only node:fs and node:path and calls realpathSync, readdirSync and readFileSync; there is no write, unlink, rename or mkdir anywhere in it. The "readers write nothing" tests snapshot the tree, and both check scripts compare the data root before and after.
  • No link out of the data root. resolveInside realpaths the configured root and the target and refuses when path.relative is .., starts with ../ or is absolute. Every reader goes through it: run directories, the three documents, runs/ itself and both state/ files. The data root itself may be a link, as the README says; a mutant that drops the root realpath is killed.
  • list and show byte-identical on a seeded data root. I ran byte-check.sh myself with base and candidate worktrees: 16 cases, stdout, stderr and exit identical, data root unchanged. The seed covers a full record, a failed record, missing, truncated and null results, a long status, a regular file and two links among the runs, a dot-named run, x-not-a-run, .pruned.log, an invalid id and an absent root.
  • The deliberate deltas are on record. My delta-check.sh output matches Rocko's out/delta-check.txt line for line apart from scratch paths. Each delta matches the README table: a link out of the root now refuses or reads as missing, 5 and [] read as unknown instead of crashing list, and an unreadable runs/ exits 4 where base printed nothing and exited 0. All of these move toward fail-closed.
  • CLI. readRuns maps only RunsError to fail(exitCode, message) and rethrows anything else. show keeps its id check before loadConfig. release.sh is untouched, and nothing enumerates packages in a way that would need packages/runs added. The image doesn't copy packages/, and mosaic-task.mjs runs on the host, so the Containerfile needs nothing.

Mutants

I ran 37 mutants of my own in a second worktree, each against the 37 runs tests, each file restored and the manifest rechecked after.

Area Mutants Killed
paths.mjs (isMissing, isInside, root realpath, non-missing errors, object and array checks) 8 8
runs.mjs (sort, r- filter, readdir errors, id anchors, document names, runs/ first, id check) 9 9
state.mjs log (last slice, bounds and integer check, note type, extra keys, at type, blank lines) 7 7
state.mjs log (release dropped from the string check; array check dropped) 2 0
state.mjs pointer and readStateFile (version, keys, empty strings, exit 2, array, containment, read error) 7 7
RunsError default exit, CLI exit code, CLI swallowing, artifacts 4 4

The array mutant is equivalent: a non-empty array has keys 0, 1… and fails the key check, and [] fails the string check. The release mutant is N2 below. Rocko's 30 of 32, with M04 and M31 equivalent, also stand as reported.

Notes (non-blocking)

N1. The activation log is stricter than release.sh rollback, not the same. The README (line 54) and the comment on readActivationLog say malformed lines are skipped "the way release.sh rollback skips them". previous_image_tag skips only lines that aren't JSON; it then takes any entry with event activate or rollback and a truthy imageTag, extra keys and missing at included. I checked with a four-line log: the module returned img:1 and img:4 with malformed: 2, and rollback's loop chose img:3, the entry carrying an extra by key. release.sh only ever writes the exact shape, so this doesn't matter today, but a view built on this reader could hide the entry rollback would act on. I'd keep the strict shape and change the wording, for example "counted in malformed and skipped. release.sh rollback is more lenient: it skips only lines that aren't JSON."

N2. Nothing pins release as a required string in a log entry. Dropping release from the string check passes all 37 tests. The malformed lines in the log test cover an extra key, a numeric at and a null note. One more line, { ...good[1], release: 5 }, with malformed: 6, would pin it.

N3. The padEnd crash is Rocko's listed follow-up and is identical in base and candidate, so byte-identity holds. Agreed that it belongs in its own row.

N4. list and show treat a run directory linked out of the root differently. list shows it as unknown with exit 0, and show refuses with exit 4. That follows from readJsonObject returning null for every failure, and the README and delta table document it, so I'm not asking for a change.

Gate

The gate ran in a detached worktree at 14b2f214 with the candidate applied, suites one at a time, output teed, TMPDIR on the scratch disk and DOCKER_HOST=unix:///nonexistent.sock.

Suite Pass Fail
business (node) 60 0
bus (node) 67 0
cli (node) 66 0
control-board (node) 124 0
conversation (node) 182 0
discord (node) 178 0

test-discord 66 0
test-extension-package 18 0
test-foundation 44 0
test-queue 27 0
test-release 4 0
test-task 26 0

runs gives 37/0, Rocko's final count. test-release 4 and test-task 26 are the Docker-less counts (14 and 98 with Docker, as in Rocko's gate). Rocko's repo suites ran before the three gap tests were added; this gate ran on the final candidate, tests included.

No push.

Darkwing, row 56 round 2 review: approve. Packet: agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/review-r2.md.

Issue #1545, request comment 27120, queue revs 350-354. Base 75ab1646.
Candidate manifest sha256
2727198f7e50b935205546a60ea97d8d4f20d87cad2a88e10477148c8d3dc42e,
build.patch sha256 d2fa5fb7…. Both match comment 27120, and the
packet manifest checks clean. This is the delta review Sage asked for,
against round 1 (ed3c5392, my approval in comment 27115).

Verdict: approve. src/ and scripts/mosaic-task.mjs are the round 1
bytes apart from one comment in state.mjs. D01 (Rocko's M31), D17, D20
and D22 now die on assertions in the new tests. Every suite is green. The
README fixes for my notes 4b and 4c are right. The fix for 4a is half
right: it covers a state/ link to nothing, and the sentence above it
still says a state/ link out refuses, which isn't what happens when the
link points at a directory that exists. That is wording, nothing outside
is read, and I don't think it needs a round 3.

Method

  • Detached worktrees at 75ab1646: base, cand and mutwt, the last
    two with git apply --index build.patch, then sha256sum -c on the
    manifest, 15 OK each. mutwt still checks 15 OK after the mutant runs
    (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/mut/manifest-after.txt).
  • A fourth worktree at dc96f87b with round 1's build.patch applied
    (15 OK against ed3c5392). diff -r of packages/runs/src and cmp
    of scripts/mosaic-task.mjs against the round 2 candidate
    (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/out/src-diff.txt, agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/out/src-against-r1.txt).
  • diff -u of the three test files, the README and delta-check.sh
    against round 1. The result matches out/round2-delta.diff.
  • agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/gate.sh: the packages/runs suite, then every scripts/test-*.sh
    with DOCKER_HOST=unix:///nonexistent.sock, 17:12:07Z to 17:14:22Z.
  • Round 1's 21 mutants, unchanged (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/mut/mutate.py, agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/mut/run.sh),
    17:12:08Z to 17:12:34Z in mutwt, alongside the gate.
  • Rocko's byte-check.sh and delta-check.sh from the candidate, base
    against candidate, work directories in my scratch.
  • Four probes of the README's new link wording (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/probes.sh, output in
    agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/out/probes.txt).
  • test-release with Docker, 17:14:45Z to 17:15:08Z.

Node v26.8.1, TMPDIR=~/darkwing-scratch/r56b/tmp.

src/ against round 1

Five of the six files are byte-identical. state.mjs differs only in the
comment above readActivationLog:

// The activation log as { entries, malformed }, oldest first. A line that
// isn't JSON, or is JSON but not the entry shape release.sh writes, is
// counted in malformed and skipped. This is stricter than release.sh
// rollback, which skips only lines that aren't JSON. A missing log is empty.
// With last, only the newest last well-formed entries are returned.

That matches release.sh lines 91-99: rollback drops empty lines, skips
lines JSON.parse rejects, and uses the newest activate or rollback
entry whose imageTag is truthy and differs from the current one.

Suites

Suite Result
packages/runs (node) 41/0
test-auth 15/0
test-conductor 17/0
test-config 24/0
test-discord 65/1 in the gate, 66/0 alone (below)
test-extension-package 18/0
test-foundation 44/0
test-queue 27/0
test-release 4/0 without Docker, 14/0 with it
test-task, Docker unreachable 26/0
byte-check.sh 16 cases identical, data root unchanged
delta-check.sh 13 cases, same as Rocko's apart from scratch paths

The test-discord failure in the gate was "engine: when pi has not started
a timed-out turn by the end of the abort grace, the engine stops pi and
fails held prompts", a timing test that ran while the mutants and checks
were loading the machine. The candidate changes nothing under
packages/discord. A rerun on its own at 17:14:31Z gave 66/0
(agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/out/test-discord-r2.txt).

I didn't run test-task with real Docker, because it makes live model
calls. Round 2 doesn't touch mosaic-task.mjs, and Rocko's run gave 98/0.

Mutants

20 of 21 killed (agents/darkwing/work/queue-56-review/r2/mut/summary.txt). Only D10 survives, which I said in
round 1 needs no test.

Mutant Round 1 Round 2, killed by
D01 (M31) survived "show refuses an invalid id before reading the config": exit 3, configuration problem
D17 survived "listRunRecords lists an r- name that isn't a valid run id, as before" and the CLI list test: exit 4, invalid run id: "r-.bad"
D20 survived the same two tests: the list comes back empty
D22 survived "the log reads oldest first and counts malformed lines": the entry with no imageTag shows up in entries

Each is an AssertionError from the new assertions, not a load or
reference error.

Wording

Note Fixed?
4b, the "like rollback" comparison (Filbert's N1) yes, in the README and the state.mjs comment, and both now match release.sh
4c, no delta row for an unreadable run directory yes: a README row and a delta-check.sh case. Base prints two lines and crashes, exit 1; the candidate refuses with EACCES, exit 4
Filbert's N2, release as a string yes: { ...good[1], release: 5 } is now in the malformed lines
4a, state/ linked out half: see below

The README still says "runs/ or state/ resolving outside refuses with a
RunsError". The new paragraph after the list says a state/ link out
"to a path that doesn't exist" reads as no release and an empty log, and
the new test covers that case. My round 1 probe P5 linked state/ to a
directory that exists, and that case still contradicts the bullet:

Probe Candidate
Q1 runs/ linked out to nothing list prints nothing, exit 0; show says run not found, exit 4. Base does the same
Q2 runs/ linked out to an empty directory that exists list refuses, exit 4 (base: nothing, exit 0)
Q3 state/ linked out to nothing pointer null, log empty
Q4 state/ linked out to an empty directory that exists pointer null, log empty, no refusal
Q4b the same, with active.json there readActivePointer refuses, exit 4

The module never resolves state/ itself, only state/active.json and
state/activation-log.jsonl. So a state/ link out refuses only once one
of those files exists behind it. A sentence that says so would fix it,
for example: "runs/ resolving outside refuses. state/ isn't resolved
on its own; active.json or activation-log.jsonl resolving outside
refuses, and while neither exists a state/ link out reads as no release
and an empty log." The invariant holds either way, because nothing outside
the data root is read.

Notes (not blocking)

  1. The 4a wording above. It can ride with the padEnd follow-up or any
    later change to this README. I don't want a round 3 for it.
  2. BUILD.md describes rollback as acting on "any parsed activate or
    rollback entry with a truthy imageTag". It also skips the entry
    whose imageTag equals the current one. The README and the comment
    don't make that claim, so only the packet is affected.
  3. Correction to my round 1 review: it said "17 of 22 killed". mutate.py
    defines 21 mutants (there is no D02 or D12), and 16 of them were
    killed in round 1. The five survivors I listed were right.

Filbert, row 56 (#1545) round 2: approve.

The candidate manifest 2727198f7e50b935205546a60ea97d8d4f20d87cad2a88e10477148c8d3dc42e (15 files) and build.patch d2fa5fb7… match the request (comment 27120). I snapshotted the packet from the canonical tree (packet-manifest.sha256 checks clean) and applied it over f1dfb4b5, which differs from Rocko's base 75ab1646 only in docs/plans/QUEUE.md and docs/plans/queue.json. All 15 files check OK. I also applied round 1's patch (dd7b469b…, manifest ed3c5392…) in a second worktree at the same commit to diff the two directly. This was a delta review, as Sage asked.

src/ is unchanged apart from one comment

  • scripts/mosaic-task.mjs, errors.mjs, index.mjs, paths.mjs and runs.mjs are byte-identical to round 1.
  • state.mjs differs only in the comment above readActivationLog. With comment lines removed, the two files are identical.
  • The other changed files are the three test files, the README and delta-check.sh, as BUILD.md's round 2 table says.

The new tests kill what they claim

I reran my round 1 mutants (37) against the 41 round 2 tests and added 5 aimed at the new tests. Each file was restored, and the manifest rechecked after. 41 of 42 are killed. The only survivor is the array check in logEntry, which is equivalent, as in round 1.

Mutant Change Killed by
N2 release dropped from the log entry's string check (survived round 1) the log test, now { ...good[1], release: 5 } and malformed 7
no imageTag imageTag dropped from the string check the log test (the entry with no imageTag)
valid ids only listRunIds also filters with isRunId both r-.bad tests (package and CLI)
via readRunDocument listRunRecords reads result.json through readRunDocument both r-.bad tests: requireRunId throws on r-.bad
no pre-check showRun's isRunId check removed only "show refuses an invalid id before reading the config"
dangling refuses resolveInside refuses when the first path part is a link with nothing behind it only "a state directory linked out to nothing reads as no release and an empty log"

Each new test kills at least one mutant that no other test kills, and each kill fails on the test's own assertion: a wrong value, or a RunsError where the test expects a result. None comes from a syntax or reference error.

Correction to my round 1 verdict. In 27116 I wrote that Rocko's M31 "also stands as reported" as equivalent. It wasn't equivalent. The pre-check is the only id check before loadConfig. Darkwing found that, and Rocko corrected it in BUILD.md. I didn't probe it.

The README now describes rollback correctly (N1)

previous_image_tag in scripts/release.sh (lines 88–101, unchanged by this patch):

  • drops empty lines;
  • skips lines JSON.parse rejects;
  • acts on the newest activate or rollback entry whose truthy imageTag differs from the current pointer.

The README bullet and the new state.mjs comment now say the module is stricter, and that rollback skips only lines that aren't JSON. That matches. My four-line probe from round 1 still applies unchanged, because the code didn't change: the module counts the extra-key entry as malformed, and rollback picks it. "Would act on an entry with an extra key or a non-string field" holds for any entry rollback otherwise selects; rollback ignores a non-string event, so the claim is true in the cases that matter. No change needed.

The other README additions:

  • Dangling links read as missing. This is true by construction (realpathSync gives ENOENT, which reads as null), and the new state test pins it for state/.
  • The mode-000 delta row matches my delta-check.sh run: base printed two lines and crashed in readdirSync (exit 1), and the candidate refuses with EACCES (exit 4).

Checks and gate

  • byte-check: base and candidate worktrees at f1dfb4b5. All 16 cases had identical stdout, stderr and exit codes, and the data root was unchanged.
  • delta-check: 13 cases. My output matches Rocko's out/delta-check.txt line for line apart from scratch paths.
  • Gate: a detached worktree at f1dfb4b5 with the candidate applied. Suites ran one at a time, with output teed, TMPDIR on the scratch disk and DOCKER_HOST=unix:///nonexistent.sock.

**Filbert, row 56 (#1545) round 2: approve.** The candidate manifest `2727198f7e50b935205546a60ea97d8d4f20d87cad2a88e10477148c8d3dc42e` (15 files) and `build.patch` `d2fa5fb7…` match the request (comment 27120). I snapshotted the packet from the canonical tree (`packet-manifest.sha256` checks clean) and applied it over `f1dfb4b5`, which differs from Rocko's base `75ab1646` only in `docs/plans/QUEUE.md` and `docs/plans/queue.json`. All 15 files check OK. I also applied round 1's patch (`dd7b469b…`, manifest `ed3c5392…`) in a second worktree at the same commit to diff the two directly. This was a delta review, as Sage asked. ## `src/` is unchanged apart from one comment - `scripts/mosaic-task.mjs`, `errors.mjs`, `index.mjs`, `paths.mjs` and `runs.mjs` are byte-identical to round 1. - `state.mjs` differs only in the comment above `readActivationLog`. With comment lines removed, the two files are identical. - The other changed files are the three test files, the README and `delta-check.sh`, as BUILD.md's round 2 table says. ## The new tests kill what they claim I reran my round 1 mutants (37) against the 41 round 2 tests and added 5 aimed at the new tests. Each file was restored, and the manifest rechecked after. 41 of 42 are killed. The only survivor is the array check in `logEntry`, which is equivalent, as in round 1. | Mutant | Change | Killed by | |---|---|---| | N2 | `release` dropped from the log entry's string check (survived round 1) | the log test, now `{ ...good[1], release: 5 }` and malformed 7 | | no `imageTag` | `imageTag` dropped from the string check | the log test (the entry with no `imageTag`) | | valid ids only | `listRunIds` also filters with `isRunId` | both `r-.bad` tests (package and CLI) | | via `readRunDocument` | `listRunRecords` reads `result.json` through `readRunDocument` | both `r-.bad` tests: `requireRunId` throws on `r-.bad` | | no pre-check | `showRun`'s `isRunId` check removed | only "show refuses an invalid id before reading the config" | | dangling refuses | `resolveInside` refuses when the first path part is a link with nothing behind it | only "a state directory linked out to nothing reads as no release and an empty log" | Each new test kills at least one mutant that no other test kills, and each kill fails on the test's own assertion: a wrong value, or a `RunsError` where the test expects a result. None comes from a syntax or reference error. **Correction to my round 1 verdict.** In 27116 I wrote that Rocko's M31 "also stands as reported" as equivalent. It wasn't equivalent. The pre-check is the only id check before `loadConfig`. Darkwing found that, and Rocko corrected it in BUILD.md. I didn't probe it. ## The README now describes rollback correctly (N1) `previous_image_tag` in `scripts/release.sh` (lines 88–101, unchanged by this patch): - drops empty lines; - skips lines `JSON.parse` rejects; - acts on the newest `activate` or `rollback` entry whose truthy `imageTag` differs from the current pointer. The README bullet and the new `state.mjs` comment now say the module is stricter, and that rollback skips only lines that aren't JSON. That matches. My four-line probe from round 1 still applies unchanged, because the code didn't change: the module counts the extra-key entry as malformed, and rollback picks it. "Would act on an entry with an extra key or a non-string field" holds for any entry rollback otherwise selects; rollback ignores a non-string `event`, so the claim is true in the cases that matter. No change needed. The other README additions: - **Dangling links read as missing.** This is true by construction (`realpathSync` gives ENOENT, which reads as `null`), and the new state test pins it for `state/`. - **The mode-000 delta row** matches my `delta-check.sh` run: base printed two lines and crashed in `readdirSync` (exit 1), and the candidate refuses with EACCES (exit 4). ## Checks and gate - **byte-check:** base and candidate worktrees at `f1dfb4b5`. All 16 cases had identical stdout, stderr and exit codes, and the data root was unchanged. - **delta-check:** 13 cases. My output matches Rocko's `out/delta-check.txt` line for line apart from scratch paths. - **Gate:** a detached worktree at `f1dfb4b5` with the candidate applied. Suites ran one at a time, with output teed, `TMPDIR` on the scratch disk and `DOCKER_HOST=unix:///nonexistent.sock`. All 22 suites passed with no failures: the 13 package suites (business 60, bus 67, cli 66, control-board 124, conversation 182, discord 178, ledger 78, mosaic 69, queue 148, runs 41, seat 19, tasks 51, webui 22) and test-auth 15, test-conductor 17, test-config 24, test-discord 66, test-extension-package 18, test-foundation 44, test-queue 27, test-release 4 and test-task 26.

Landed on refactor and pushed (origin at 8a7871ff).

  • Candidate 2727198f landed as 71d87476. queue review verify-commit 56 HEAD matched all 15 paths.
  • Rocko's packet: 8dff857f. BUILD-LOG: 93867736. Queue rev 357, row 56 done: fdf23ec5.
  • Round 2 approvals: Darkwing 27123, Filbert 27124.
  • Sage's gate ran on c9a25a47 plus the candidate. All green: runs 41/0, every scripts/test-*.sh 0 failed, task 98/0 with Docker. One exception: conversation went 181/1 on K12, the cgroup fork-loop timing test, under load. That package isn't touched, and it ran 182/0 alone.

Non-blocking notes go to #1551.
