Lead decision 90 kept assignee pm-only and named roles/coder.json's cross-role task.reassign a dead grant: the task verbs refuse it with field-writer for any role but pm. Remove it in a reviewed roles commit, test the coder's request is classed gated, and list what read the old grant.

Row 73 round 1 review (Dewey): approve

Candidate: agents/rocko/work/queue-73/candidate-manifest.sha256, sha256 bf4e5ed646301d06617004770aaaf9599e743f1e00d226f8a9e0c2450f12710d, packet committed in 2137dd7f (packet manifest 41ffcd5c, 53 of 53 OK), request comment 27467. I applied build.patch with git apply --index to a detached worktree of 324c064b. All 8 manifest entries check OK. Between 324c064b and the current refactor HEAD (abf2b4f6), the only change on the manifest paths, packages/{bus,business,tasks,harness}/src or the stale-text files is the committed copy of mutants.sh, which matches the manifest.

The row removes task.reassign from the coder's crossRole and nothing else in any role, PM_VERBS, broker.mjs or the field table. The bus test the brief asks for is there. The packet lists the readers and says what a coder's task.reassign does end to end. It names the broker follow-up without making it. I have no blocking items.

What I checked

  • The brief's three items. roles/coder.json keeps task.scope.change. The new bus test builds the business from the shipped role files the way bootConfig does. It shows a coder's task.reassign raises as gated to human, and task.scope.change stays cross-role to cto for a technical decision. #classification (broker.mjs 268) returns gated for an action in neither list, and decision.raise routes gated to human (588). The packet's end-to-end section and follow-up paragraph match the brief.
  • The reader table against the code. A repo grep for task.reassign and task_reassign outside history finds the readers the packet lists and nothing else. classify (resolve.mjs 99), typedTools with its held set and untypedActions (tools.mjs 73, 122) read only limits.authority. raise_decision's action enum is the whole vocabulary (tools.mjs 96), so step 2 of the end-to-end section is right. The resolved digest is only printed in the mosaic business bundle output (business/src/cli.mjs 91), and nothing compares it. docs/design/mosaic-stack-design.html already gives the coder X:[], so it doesn't go stale. Rocko's probe output matches the table.
  • The narrowing test moved to the pm. I agree with the reason. With one cross-role action left, a coder-based test can't show crossRole narrowing. The pm version narrows both lists, and my resolve-within-unnarrowed and Rocko's resolve-cross-unnarrowed are both killed by it.
  • The three stale lines (business README 30-43, tasks README 193-196, tasks/live/run.mjs 32) are row 79. I didn't hold this row for them.

Mutation run

Ten single-site mutants of my own, separate from Rocko's five, each run against the whole bus, business, harness and tasks suites. I ran them in a candidate worktree and a base worktree, restoring from git after each run, and both were clean at the end. The role-file and fixture mutants only apply to the candidate. Candidate: 8 of 10 killed. Base: 5 of the 7 that apply are killed.

Mutant Edit Base 324c064b Candidate
verbs-reassign-not-pm PM_VERBS drops task.reassign survives killed: the new verbs line
broker-gated-to-arbiter a gated decision routes to the domain arbiter killed killed, the new bus test included
broker-cross-ignored #classification never returns cross-role killed killed, the new bus test included
broker-domain-ignored a cross-role decision always routes to the delivery arbiter killed killed, the new bus test included
coder-reassign-within task.reassign added to the coder's withinRole n/a killed: harness, classify, bus
coder-cross-empty the coder's crossRole is [] n/a killed: role, harness, classify, bus
world-keeps-reassign the world.mjs fixture keeps the old grant n/a survives, equivalent (below)
tools-cross-untyped typedTools ignores crossRole killed killed, now also by the new harness test
untyped-within-only untypedActions drops crossRole survives survives (N1)
resolve-within-unnarrowed withinRole ignores limits.authority killed killed: the narrowing test among others

mutants.sh's header says the tasks test "kills nothing here". That holds for Rocko's five mutants, but the new verbs line is the only test that pins task.reassign in PM_VERBS. Under verbs-reassign-not-pm, a coder's task.reassign passes the writer check and is refused with task-unassigned instead. The new line catches that; on the base the four suites pass. world-keeps-reassign is equivalent: every tasks test that calls task.reassign as the coder hits field-writer before authority is read, and no tasks test raises a coder decision about it.

Not blocking

  • N1, nothing pins the coder's untyped list. BUILD.md says that without a tracker the prompt no longer lists task.reassign among "Actions you hold that have no bus tool yet". That's true by the code, but the coder test in tools.test.mjs (lines 28-36) only checks untyped.includes("git.push.working") and !untyped.includes("message.send"). With untyped-within-only the prompt would drop every cross-role action, and the four suites still pass on both trees. A deepEqual of the coder's untyped list to ["task.update.assigned", "git.push.working", "review.request", "task.scope.change"] would pin both this row's change and the cross-role half. It could go in row 79 or the next harness row.

Gate

All suites ran one after another in the review worktree, with TMPDIR in my scratch and Docker on, from 2026-10-11T23:31:26Z to 23:40:37Z.

Suite Result
packages/tasks 71 pass, 0 fail
packages/bus 81 pass, 0 fail
packages/business 60 pass, 0 fail
packages/harness 58 pass, 0 fail, 0 skipped
cli, control-board, conversation, discord, ledger, mosaic, queue, runs, seat, webui all 0 fail (112, 124, 182, 178, 78, 69, 150, 41, 27, 50 pass)
build-tokens --check exit 0
test-auth, test-conductor, test-config, test-discord, test-extension-package, test-foundation, test-queue exit 0 (15, 17, 24, 66, 18, 44, 27 passed)
test-release 14 passed, 0 failed (Docker, nothing skipped)
test-task 98 passed, 0 failed (Docker, nothing skipped)

The manifest checked 8/8 OK before the run, and core.hooksPath stayed unset.

Evidence (local to my scratch, ~/dewey-scratch/r73/): mutants.py with out-mutc.txt, out-mutb.txt and out/mut*/mut-*.txt, and gate.sh with gate-out/.
