Row 139 round 2 review (Filbert): approve
Candidate: manifest sha256 a4c5657ff69ef0665285e4c2095858346f2d325d454c6fa99edd999633dcd0f0, 14 paths, patch sha256 a5f21ead8195382fbf21da0ee8f66b794329c4b7f8737fa942ccd6c219524e3f, base 5661bd233, packet agents/dewey/work/queue-139/ in c83ee5d82 (request comment 28783). Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-15_q167-rows-r3.md at blob 6805904555.
I found no defect. All five Q169 points hold in the code, and the four tests the brief names for Q169 are there, plus a fifth. The notes below don't block.
Rebuild
- A fresh worktree at
5661bd233. build.patch is a plain diff, so I applied it withgit apply --index. - All 14 manifest hashes matched, and
git diff --cached --checkwas clean (14 files, +418 -62). - The added lines have no dash, curly-quote or control characters.
- No commit from
5661bd233to refactor HEAD touches a manifest path.
Against my round 1 approval (manifest 5657702e)
I rebuilt round 1 from 62f354746's build.patch and compared the two trees path by path.
- Unchanged: bus spec-fixtures.mjs, business README, vocabulary.mjs and hard-waits test, and scripts/test-land-work.sh.
- Changed: bus broker.mjs, bus hard-waits test and bus README. The broker diff is only
#hardWait,#protectedEnd, the target passed to#classification, and the two call sites. Nothing else in the broker moved. - New: the PRD, bus chief-of-staff test, harness README and runner test, and tasks requirements.json and its test. These are the three groups Sage accepted in sage-0539.
The five Q169 points
- The chief of staff's end of the assistant passes; its own run stays refused. On the reason path the own-run refusal still runs first (
a.role === s.role), then#protectedEnd(s, a.role), which returns for a caller whose definition ischief-of-staff(STAFF_TO). Q169 test 1 and chief-of-staff REQ-COS-1 pin both.lead, granted role.end, is refusedrole-end-refused, and no action.allowed is written, because the reason path's#consumeAuthorityruns in the caller's transaction. - A revoke citing a human-resolved decision passes.
#protectedEndacceptsr.via === 'cli'. decision.resolve writesclionly whens.human, and#human(line 304) requiresvia 'cli'andoutsideAgent. A tester can't resolve (TESTER_VERBS). The only resolve caller outside the broker is packages/cli/src/cli.mjs; the WebUI doesn't resolve. Sovia 'cli'means the human. Q169 test 3 pins it. - Every other role's revoke of the assistant is refused, including an arbiter-resolved cited raise.
#hardWaitmakes the raisegatedand keeps it from the arbiter, cited or not, for any raiser and any grant (Q169 tests 2 and 5).#checkAuthorityalso runs#protectedEndafterdecision-not-approved, so an arbiter's resolution recordedvia 'broker'is refused even if the target became the assistant after the raise (test 2, the second Broker on the same store).d.class !== clsrecomputes the class at use, so a decision raised cross-role before this row no longer matches either. - Any other cited revoke routes by REQ-DEC-2.
#hardWaitis false for a target outside END_PROTECTED, soarbitratedis unchanged from round 1. Q169 test 4 goesgatedto reviewer and executes{revoked: true}; test 5 covers cross-role and within-role grants. - PRD 1.6 records Q169 as Jason's ruling. The status line moves to 1.6, and a 1.6 source block quotes Q169 word for word as Sage gave it (I can't read the brain repo it cites). REQ-ROLE-2, REQ-ROLE-4 and REQ-WAIT-1 gain text, and the 1.6 notes record where each 1.5 text ended, the same pattern 1.5 used for REQ-DEC-2. No earlier version's text was changed. Mos's two REQ-ROLE-2 sentences (sage-0545) match the code: the chief's end consumes
role.end, which is routed, so it needs no decision;#hardWaitreads the target, not the raiser, so the chief's revoke is a hard wait too.
Also checked: tasks requirements.json is at 1.6 with the same 58 ids, and its test matches the PRD status line. The harness runner and README changes follow from the chief's end now reaching not-held. In the broker diff, #hardWait reads roles[target]?.definition, so a missing or odd target falls through to "not protected" without throwing.
Notes (non-blocking)
- Dewey's gap: no test raises a revoke of the assistant as the chief. I agree it doesn't block.
#hardWaithas no raiser branch, and the chief exemption in#protectedEndis one line shared by both paths, so m7 kills it through test 1. Row 155's brief (b05de8258) now adds that test and refuses a writer that gives another instance a definition in END_PROTECTED, which closes the window Dewey names (a chief-raised, arbiter-resolved revoke passing after the target became the assistant). - The status line doesn't say who approved the 1.6 wording. Each earlier version names its approval; 1.6 names Jason's ruling and says nothing about the text. Per sage-0545, Mos approved it. Nothing the line says is false, so I'm not counting it as a finding, but Sage may want the approval on the record in the next version.
- Assistant execution still refuses
not-heldanddecision-mismatchuntil row 155, as the PRD notes, the README and the tests all say. The harness end_run description (tools.mjs:158) is stale, outside this candidate; row 155 owns it (sage-0539). - business
classify(resolve.mjs) takes no target, so the WebUI's per-action authority view can show role.revoke as within-role or cross-role for a granted role, where the broker makes a revoke of the assistant a hard wait. It routes nothing. Dewey lists it.
What I ran and what I took from receipts
I ran, under the slot Sage gave in sage-0552, each file singly on the candidate from 19:21:10Z to 19:21:30Z, with Docker disabled and TMPDIR set to scratch. All had 0 fail and 0 skipped:
| Test file | Pass |
|---|---|
| bus hard-waits | 12 |
| bus chief-of-staff | 13 |
| bus requirements | 3 |
| bus broker | 16 |
| business hard-waits | 3 |
| harness runner | 24 |
| tasks requirements | 3 |
| round 1 bus hard-waits (control, on my round 1 rebuild) | 7 |
The control shows the round 1 file had the 7 tests, so the five Q169 tests are additions. I ran no suite, gate or mutant.
From Dewey's receipts, not rerun by me (r2/gate/summary.txt, r2/mutants/summary.txt, BUILD.md):
- The gate: all 14 runs rc=0 from 19:06:10Z to 19:08:58Z, including land-work 86 passed with both
not-humancases, bus 306/306, business 112/112, harness 105/105 and tasks 97/97. - Mutants m1 to m9 all killed, from 19:09:11Z to 19:10:46Z.
- After the sage-0545 sentence edit, bus and tasks requirements 3/3 each at 19:15:11Z.
