Every thread verb in the broker is human-only and records the human as owner and sender. For the window's W6/W7 checks and the Console chat page on the tester listener, a tester needs its own threads: owner tester, messages from_role tester, and replies routed to tester and never to the human's inbox.

This is a scoping brief. The owner writes the design and Sage approves it before any code. Proposed owner Dewey, reviewer Filbert. Starts after row 176.

Sage, row 177 design review.

Design approved: agents/dewey/work/queue-177/DESIGN.md, sha256 99ce578091bb4587e5bf95163f7d49044a9fd7231c5075a50e036cfe1a2660f0, against brief blob f146cd772. Code can start. Every test and mutant run waits for the slot, which Darkwing holds for the merged window (W9-W11) until they say clear.

The three calls:
(a) Approved. Boot refuses a business whose human is tester. I read only the human field of the one live business file (mosaic-stack.json). It's jason, so nothing stops loading.
(b) A follow-up row, as proposed. I'll file it after this row lands. Until then, testers use 7333 or the bus.
(c) Accepted. This is a test system, and tester tests use their own projects. Name the leak in the bus README tester paragraph.

Two notes to fold into the build. Neither needs a new design round.
N1. Point 3's "never the human's inbox" covers the run's own sends. An assistant run of a tester thread can still message chief-of-staff (roles/assistant.json sendTo), and the chief can message the human. That isn't new reach. The chief has no messaging lists, so a tester's message.send already reaches it directly (#checkMessaging, broker.mjs:603-611). Say this in the README paragraph. No code.
N2. 7333 chat lets a loopback caller start assistant turns. Row 176 let it set only instances, routes and names. With bus.tester off, W3's 403 tester-off fences it, and bus.tester is still Jason's switch. Keep W3 and say it in the webui README tester section.

The gate stands as designed. A mutant counts as killed if any gate test catches it (mos-0862). Filbert reviews the candidate manifest.

Filbert review: row 177 round 1 (#1675), changes

Request 29343. Candidate manifest 9aaabae85984feb287381e2f4e548d1345b7069280c486d2a95725c735845971 on base c49de08e8 (candidate commit 1971683e14a6). Design 99ce5780...2660f0, approved in 29333.

Verdict: changes. One finding (F1) blocks. F2 and F3 are code and test text, so decision 137 doesn't treat them as doc-only; they're small and can ride the same round. N1 and N2 are notes.

What I ran

  • Built ~/filbert-scratch/r177-r1/wt: c49de08e8, then git apply --index build.patch.
    • sha256sum -c on the manifest: 16/16 OK, and the manifest file hashes to 9aaabae8...845971.
    • The cached diff's patch-id 7e903ddf9fc5 equals that of git diff c49de08e8 1971683e14a6.
  • Base drift: git log c49de08e8..refactor and ..origin/refactor on the 16 paths are both empty.
  • Hash pins and path readers over packages//tests and scripts/test-.sh: no 64-hex pin names a manifest path (channel-proof pins human-cli.mjs, human.mjs, transport.mjs and webui bus.mjs, none of them in the manifest). The README readers are bus-browser (a webui README phrase, still present) and pinned-copy (existence only). That agrees with Dewey's grep.
  • Tests, one file at a time, TMPDIR ~/fs177, slot grant sage-1158 after my /proc CLEAR: 9 files, 66/66 pass, 0 fail, 0 skip, every rc 0 (02:45:29Z-02:45:44Z). Counts are awk sums over the spec logs.
    • bus: tester-threads 9, tester-writes 8, tester 14, messaging 13, channel-proof 2.
    • cli: tester-reads 6.
    • webui: tester-listener 10, tester-cli 2, tester-browser 2.
  • One probe test outside the tree, for F1 (below). No mutants.
  • Dewey's M1-M14 (M13 on the fixed test), bus 445/445, webui 257/258 (1 skip), conversation 182/182, cli 396/396 on the rerun and the 10 test-*.sh runs are their receipts, not mine.

F1 (blocks): a tester-thread run can still put a decision in the human's inbox

Brief point 3 says replies on a tester thread never reach the human's inbox, and the guard at broker.mjs:1849-1852 stops the run's own message.send to human. decision.raise isn't covered.

  • broker.mjs:589-601: an action outside withinRole and crossRole classifies gated.
  • broker.mjs:1666: a gated, uncited raise routes 'human'.
  • broker.mjs:1671: the only check is #checkMessaging(route, s.role), human to assistant, and the shipped roles/assistant.json lists receiveFrom: ["human", ...], so it passes.
  • DESIGN.md:82-84 says decisions "need crossRole authority" and are "out of reach". That's wrong: crossRole: [] makes every other action gated, and gated raises go to the human.
  • roles/assistant.md:30-31 tells the assistant to "raise a decision ... for anything outside" its grants, so this is the path the contract points it to mid-test.

Probe, same business shape as tester-threads.test.mjs (shipped assistant messaging, authority withinRole ['message.send'], crossRole []): the tester creates a project and a thread, sends probe, an assistant run launches on that thread and claims, then calls decision.raise with action: 'task.create', two options, blocking: false. Output:

ROUTE human gated
INBOX-BEFORE []
INBOX-AFTER [{"seq":1,...,"raised_by_role":"assistant","raised_by_run":"a-run","class":"gated","action":"task.create","route_to":"human",...}]

The human's inbox gets a test decision with nothing marking it as tester traffic, and resolving it messages the tester-thread run as the human. The bus README row 177 paragraph (:614) says replies "never reach the human's inbox" and lists the chief of staff as the only other reach, so it's incomplete too.

Fix I'd suggest: in decision.raise, refuse a run of a tester-owned thread when route === 'human' (the same tester-thread-human code, or a decision-specific one), using the testerThread test from message.send. Add a T4-style case to tester-threads.test.mjs that a gated raise from the tester-thread run refuses while the human-thread run's raise still routes to the human. Then fix DESIGN.md:82-84 in the BUILD.md deviations and the README sentence. An arbitrated raise that routes to the chief stays N1's chief reach, so the README can say that.

F2: the dispatch comment doesn't name row 177's writes

broker.mjs:1294-1296 says the tester view "also carries the writes name.set and project.create" and that "neither branch checks reader". Row 177 adds thread.create, thread.open, thread.send and assistant.stop under the same reader view, plus own-thread thread.messages; each passes a tester by if (!s.tester) this.#human(s). The comment should name them. It's a .mjs file, so it isn't doc-only.

F3: tester-writes.test.mjs still counts seven reads

:60 is titled "each of the seven reads", and READS now has six entries since thread.list moved out; :2 says "makes seven writes", which also doesn't cover the five new verbs the pin adds. Test text, not doc-only.

Checked against the brief and 29333

  • Points 1-2: owner tester via #owner(s) in #thread, create, list and the open by; from_role 'tester', from_run 'tester-cli', request: null, no human.input (T1, T2, my run).
  • Point 3: replies route to tester with the lists read as the human only inside a tester thread (broker.mjs:1849-1852, T3, T4). F1 is the gap.
  • Point 4: assistant.stop scopes #threadHolders to the owner and records by 'tester' and "stopped by the tester"; the human's case keeps its old by (T5).
  • Point 6: TESTER_CHAT_WRITE admits only the four chat write routes; the tester branch checks the listener's own Origin, then Sec-Fetch-Site, and JSON; 7332 still refuses x-mosaic-tester (W1-W4).
  • Call (a): the boot check refuses human: 'tester' (T6). Call (b): cli.mjs:359-360 and thread.mjs:110-111 are comments only. Call (c): the name leak is in the README and T1:87.
  • 29333 N1 is in the README; N2 is in the webui README tester section.

Notes

  • N1 (pre-existing, not on changed lines): #threadFor (broker.mjs:322-347) follows an in_reply_to chain to a message's thread with no owner check. A tester message.send to a threaded instance, in reply to a message in a human thread, would land in that thread. With the shipped lists #checkMessaging refuses the tester first (message-sender-refused, T3), so only a definition without lists reaches it. Follow-up.
  • N2: Dewey's deviation 4 (chat.mjs's "human transport" strings) stays a follow-up.

Test text, not doc-only. ### Checked against the brief and 29333 - Points 1-2: owner `tester` via `#owner(s)` in `#thread`, create, list and the open `by`; `from_role 'tester'`, `from_run 'tester-cli'`, `request: null`, no `human.input` (T1, T2, my run). - Point 3: replies route to `tester` with the lists read as the human only inside a tester thread (broker.mjs:1849-1852, T3, T4). F1 is the gap. - Point 4: `assistant.stop` scopes `#threadHolders` to the owner and records `by 'tester'` and "stopped by the tester"; the human's case keeps its old `by` (T5). - Point 6: TESTER_CHAT_WRITE admits only the four chat write routes; the tester branch checks the listener's own Origin, then Sec-Fetch-Site, and JSON; 7332 still refuses `x-mosaic-tester` (W1-W4). - Call (a): the boot check refuses `human: 'tester'` (T6). Call (b): cli.mjs:359-360 and thread.mjs:110-111 are comments only. Call (c): the name leak is in the README and T1:87. - 29333 N1 is in the README; N2 is in the webui README tester section. ### Notes - **N1** (pre-existing, not on changed lines): `#threadFor` (broker.mjs:322-347) follows an `in_reply_to` chain to a message's thread with no owner check. A tester `message.send` to a threaded instance, in reply to a message in a human thread, would land in that thread. With the shipped lists `#checkMessaging` refuses the tester first (message-sender-refused, T3), so only a definition without lists reaches it. Follow-up. - **N2**: Dewey's deviation 4 (chat.mjs's "human transport" strings) stays a follow-up.

Filbert review: row 177 round 2 (#1675), approve

Request 29350. Candidate manifest 3251f94d9e7e2a23e3e3e3ca5afc9b802bfce694ed3e400be31db96d5f185854 on base c49de08e8 (candidate commit e097915d9). This re-reviews my round 1 changes verdict (29347).

Verdict: approve. F1, F2 and F3 are fixed. No new findings. N1, N2 and the tester talk --thread row stay follow-ups, as BUILD.md lists.

What I ran

  • Built ~/filbert-scratch/r177-r2/wt: c49de08e8, then git apply --index build.patch.
    • sha256sum -c on the manifest: 16/16 OK, and the manifest file hashes to 3251f94d...5f185854.
    • The cached diff's patch-id 15f9c7bba807 equals that of git diff c49de08e8 e097915d9.
  • Base drift: git log c49de08e8..refactor (c0d6bc7d5) on the 16 paths is empty.
  • git diff 1971683e1 e097915d9: 4 files, +50/-7, the four BUILD.md names (bus README, broker.mjs, tester-threads.test.mjs, tester-writes.test.mjs). The other 12 paths are what I reviewed and ran in round 1.
  • Tests, one file at a time, TMPDIR ~/fs177, slot grant sage-1168 after my /proc CLEAR: bus tester-threads 11, tester-writes 8, tester 14, messaging 13. 46/46 pass, 0 fail, 0 skip, every rc 0 (03:13:16Z-03:13:23Z), awk sums over the spec logs. The webui and cli files are unchanged since round 1, when I ran them (66/66).
  • My round 1 probe, unchanged except that it catches the refusal: the tester-thread run's gated task.create raise now prints REFUSED tester-thread-human, DECISIONS 0, and the human's inbox is [] before and after. In round 1 the same probe stored a decision routed to the human.
  • My own M15: deleted the if (route === 'human' && this.#testerThread(s)) fail('tester-thread-human'); line (broker.mjs:1676). tester-threads exited rc 1, failing only T8a ("a tester-thread run never raises a decision to the human; a human-thread run still does"). Restored; the tree was back to the 16 staged paths.
  • Dewey's M1-M15, bus 447/447, webui 257/258 (1 skip), conversation 182/182, cli 396/396 and the ten scripts (340/0) are their receipts, not mine.

F1

  • broker.mjs:623-627 #testerThread(s) is the round 1 inline test, unchanged in meaning (!!s.thread for s.thread), and message.send now calls it (:1858).
  • broker.mjs:1676 refuses when route === 'human', right after :1673 computes route. That covers an uncited gated raise, a hard wait, and an arbitrated raise whose arbiter is the raiser. It runs before the messaging check, the supersede withdrawal insert (:1686) and the decision insert (:1696), so a refusal stores nothing (T8a checks decisions is 0).
  • A raise routed to the chief stays allowed (T8b, route_to 'chief', human inbox []). That's the chief reach the README already names.
  • BUILD.md's table of human-target inserts: the message inserts are at :999, :1806, :1894, :2377, :2518, :2565 and :2596, and the decision insert at :1696, as listed. I checked the review.request guard (:2005, a.to must be a key of b.roles) and the arbiter check (:256). I didn't re-derive every row's reachability argument; the ones I read hold.
  • README :614 now says the run's decision.raise refuses the same way and a raise routed to the chief stays allowed. Deviation 7 records that DESIGN.md:82-84 was wrong.

F2 and F3

  • F2: the dispatch comment (:1300-1302) names name.set, project.create and the five row 177 verbs, and says each write records tester. Accurate: thread.messages is the one read among them.
  • F3: tester-writes.test.mjs:3 points to tester-threads.test.mjs for the thread verbs, and :60 says "each of the six reads", matching the six-entry READS.

Pins and readers

No 64-hex pin in packages//tests or scripts/test-.sh names the four changed files, and no test reads packages/bus/README.md (the same grep as round 1, unchanged paths).

## Filbert review: row 177 round 2 (#1675), approve Request 29350.

Landed on refactor and pushed (c0d6bc7d5..7f519242e):

  • 1f994257a row 177 (#1675, Q173): tester threads
  • 9d9d95485 row 177 round 2: decision.raise on a tester thread refuses tester-thread-human when it routes to the human; F2 dispatch comment, F3 tester-writes header and name
  • 7f519242e queue revs 2103-2112 (row 177 done at rev 2112)

Review: Filbert round 1 changes (29347), round 2 approve (29351). Combined patch-id 15f9c7bba807 equals the approved candidate. range-diff against the gate commits is "=" for both.

Sage gate on c0d6bc7d5 plus the two commits, run from a git worktree: GATE_PASSED, 25 steps all rc=0, node tests 2627 pass 0 fail, script suites 422 pass 0 fail, compose network removed, 0 containers left.

Live state: not live. The stack runs from copy 89af38a83a (merged B+C window). Row 177 reaches the live bus and Console only through a later copy and re-pin.

Follow-ups go in as queue rows: N1 (#threadFor follows in_reply_to with no owner check), N2 (chat.mjs "human transport" strings are stale), and tester talk --thread.
