Merge pull request 'fix: [nomad-prep] P6 — externalize host paths in docker-compose via env vars (#795)' (#810) from fix/issue-795 into main

Replace hardcoded host-side bind-mount paths with env vars so Nomad
jobspecs can reuse the same variables at cutover:

- CLAUDE_BIN_DIR: path to claude CLI binary (resolved at init time)
- CLAUDE_CONFIG_FILE: path to .claude.json (default ${HOME}/.claude.json)
- CLAUDE_DIR: path to .claude directory (default ${HOME}/.claude)
- AGENT_SSH_DIR: path to SSH keys (default ${HOME}/.ssh)
- SOPS_AGE_DIR: path to SOPS age keys (default ${HOME}/.config/sops/age)

generators.sh now writes CLAUDE_BIN_DIR to .env instead of sed-replacing
CLAUDE_BIN_PLACEHOLDER in docker-compose.yml.

 # Disinto — Agent Instructions
 
 ## What this repo is
 
-Disinto is an autonomous code factory. It manages eight agents (dev, review,
-gardener, supervisor, planner, predictor, action, vault) that pick up issues from forge,
-implement them, review PRs, plan from the vision, gate dangerous actions, and
-keep the system healthy — all via cron and `claude -p`.
+Disinto is an autonomous code factory. It manages ten agents (dev, review,
+gardener, supervisor, planner, predictor, architect, reproduce, triage, edge
+dispatcher) that pick up issues from forge, implement them, review PRs, plan
+from the vision, and keep the system healthy — all via a polling loop (`docker/agents/entrypoint.sh`) and `claude -p`.
+The dispatcher executes formula-based operational tasks.
 
-See `README.md` for the full architecture and `BOOTSTRAP.md` for setup.
+Each agent has a `.profile` repository on Forgejo that stores lessons learned
+from prior sessions, providing continuous improvement across runs.
+
+> **Note:** The vault is being redesigned as a PR-based approval workflow on the
+> ops repo (see issues #73-#77). See [docs/VAULT.md](docs/VAULT.md) for details. Old vault scripts are being removed.
+
+See `README.md` for the full architecture and `disinto-factory/SKILL.md` for setup.

-> **Terminology note:** "Formulas" in this repo are TOML issue templates in `formulas/` that
-> orchestrate multi-step agent tasks (e.g., `run-gardener.toml`, `run-planner.toml`). This is

+## Agent .profile Model
+
+Each agent has a `.profile` repository on Forgejo storing `knowledge/lessons-learned.md` (injected into each session prompt) and `journal/` reflection entries (digested into lessons). Pre-session: `formula_prepare_profile_context()` loads lessons. Post-session: `profile_write_journal` records reflections. See `lib/formula-session.sh`.

 ### Dependency conventions
 
-Issues declare dependencies in their body using a `## Dependencies` or
-`## Depends on` section listing `#N` references. The dev-poll scheduler uses
-`lib/parse-deps.sh` to extract these and only picks issues whose dependencies
-are all closed.
-
-### Single-threaded pipeline
-
-Each project processes one issue at a time. Dev-poll will not start new work
-while an open PR is waiting for CI or review. This keeps context clear and
-prevents merge conflicts between concurrent changes.
+Issues declare dependencies via `## Dependencies` / `## Depends on` sections listing `#N` refs. `lib/parse-deps.sh` extracts these; dev-poll only picks issues whose deps are all closed. See AD-002 for concurrency bounds per LLM backend.

+| AD-002 | **Concurrency is bounded per LLM backend, not per project.** One concurrent Claude session per OAuth credential pool; one concurrent session per llama-server instance. Containers with disjoint backends may run in parallel. | The single-thread invariant is about *backends*, not pipelines. **(a) Anthropic OAuth credentials race on token refresh** — each container uses a per-session `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, so Claude Code's native lockfile-based OAuth refresh handles contention automatically without external serialization. (Legacy: set `CLAUDE_EXTERNAL_LOCK=1` to re-enable the old `flock session.lock` wrapper for rollback.) **(b) llama-server has finite VRAM and one KV cache** — parallel inference thrashes the cache and risks OOM. All llama-backed agents serialize on the same lock. **(c) Disjoint backends are free to parallelize.** Today `disinto-agents` (Anthropic OAuth, runs `review,gardener`) runs concurrently with `disinto-agents-llama` (llama, runs `dev`) on the same project — they share neither OAuth state nor llama VRAM. **(d) Per-project work-conflict safety** (no duplicate dev work, no merge conflicts on the same branch) is enforced by `issue_claim` (assignee + `in-progress` label) and per-issue worktrees — that's a separate guard that does NOT depend on this AD. |
 | AD-003 | The runtime creates and destroys, the formula preserves. | Runtime manages worktrees/sessions/temp. Formulas commit knowledge to git before signaling done. |

-# Bootstrapping a New Project
-
-How to point disinto at a new target project and get all agents running.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before starting, ensure you have:
-
-- [ ] A **git repo** (GitHub, Codeberg, or any URL) with at least one issue labeled `backlog`
-- [ ] A **Woodpecker CI** pipeline (`.woodpecker/` dir with at least one `.yml`)
-- [ ] **Docker** installed (for local Forgejo provisioning) — or a running Forgejo instance
-- [ ] A **local clone** of the target repo on the same machine as disinto
-- [ ] `claude` CLI installed and authenticated (`claude --version`)
-- [ ] `tmux` installed (`tmux -V`) — required for persistent dev sessions (issue #80+)
-
-## Quick Start
-
-The fastest path is `disinto init`, which provisions a local Forgejo instance, creates bot users and tokens, clones the repo, and sets up cron — all in one command:
-
-```bash
-disinto init https://github.com/org/repo
-```
-
-This will:
-1. Start a local Forgejo instance via Docker (at `http://localhost:3000`)
-2. Create admin + bot users (dev-bot, review-bot) with API tokens
-3. Create the repo on Forgejo and push your code
-4. Generate a `projects/<name>.toml` config
-5. Create standard labels (backlog, in-progress, blocked, etc.)
-6. Install cron entries for the agents
-
-No external accounts or tokens needed.
-
-## 1. Secret Management (SOPS + age)
-
-Disinto encrypts secrets at rest using [SOPS](https://github.com/getsops/sops) with [age](https://age-encryption.org/) encryption. When `sops` and `age` are installed, `disinto init` automatically:
-
-1. Generates an age key at `~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt` (if none exists)
-2. Creates `.sops.yaml` pinning the age public key
-3. Encrypts all secrets into `.env.enc` (safe to commit)
-4. Removes the plaintext `.env`
-
-**Install the tools:**
-
-```bash
-# age (key generation)
-apt install age          # Debian/Ubuntu
-brew install age         # macOS
-
-# sops (encryption/decryption)
-# Download from https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases
-```
-
-**The age private key** at `~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt` is the single file that must be protected. Back it up securely — without it, `.env.enc` cannot be decrypted. LUKS disk encryption on the VPS protects this key at rest.
-
-**Managing secrets after setup:**
-
-```bash
-disinto secrets edit     # Opens .env.enc in $EDITOR, re-encrypts on save
-disinto secrets show     # Prints decrypted secrets (for debugging)
-disinto secrets migrate  # Converts existing plaintext .env -> .env.enc
-```
-
-**Fallback:** If `sops`/`age` are not installed, `disinto init` writes secrets to a plaintext `.env` file with a warning. All agents load secrets transparently — `lib/env.sh` checks for `.env.enc` first, then falls back to `.env`.
-
-## 2. Configure `.env`
-
-```bash
-cp .env.example .env
-```
-
-Fill in:
-
-```bash
-# ── Forge (auto-populated by disinto init) ─────────────────
-FORGE_URL=http://localhost:3000        # local Forgejo instance
-FORGE_TOKEN=                           # dev-bot token (auto-generated)
-FORGE_REVIEW_TOKEN=                    # review-bot token (auto-generated)
-
-# ── Woodpecker CI ───────────────────────────────────────────
-WOODPECKER_TOKEN=tok_xxxxxxxx
-WOODPECKER_SERVER=http://localhost:8000
-# WOODPECKER_REPO_ID — now per-project, set in projects/*.toml [ci] section
-
-# Woodpecker Postgres (for direct pipeline queries)
-WOODPECKER_DB_PASSWORD=secret
-WOODPECKER_DB_USER=woodpecker
-WOODPECKER_DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
-WOODPECKER_DB_NAME=woodpecker
-
-# ── Tuning ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
-CLAUDE_TIMEOUT=7200                   # seconds per Claude invocation
-```
-
-### Backwards compatibility
-
-If you have an existing deployment using `CODEBERG_TOKEN` / `REVIEW_BOT_TOKEN` in `.env`, those still work — `env.sh` falls back to the old names automatically. No migration needed.
-
-## 3. Configure Project TOML
-
-Each project needs a `projects/<name>.toml` file with box-specific settings
-(absolute paths, Woodpecker CI IDs, forge URL). These files are
-**gitignored** — they are local installation config, not shared code.
-
-To create one:
-
-```bash
-# Automatic — generates TOML, clones repo, sets up cron:
-disinto init https://github.com/org/repo
-
-# Manual — copy a template and fill in your values:
-cp projects/myproject.toml.example projects/myproject.toml
-vim projects/myproject.toml
-```
-
-The `forge_url` field in the TOML tells all agents where to find the forge API:
-
-```toml
-name            = "myproject"
-repo            = "org/myproject"
-forge_url       = "http://localhost:3000"
-```
-
-The repo ships `projects/*.toml.example` templates showing the expected
-structure. See any `.toml.example` file for the full field reference.
-
-## 4. Claude Code Global Settings
-
-Configure `~/.claude/settings.json` with **only** permissions and `skipDangerousModePermissionPrompt`. Do not add hooks to the global settings — `agent-session.sh` injects per-worktree hooks automatically.
-
-Match the configuration from harb-staging exactly. The file should contain only permission grants and the dangerous-mode flag:
-
-```json
-{
-  "permissions": {
-    "allow": [
-      "..."
-    ]
-  },
-  "skipDangerousModePermissionPrompt": true
-}
-```
-
-### Seed `~/.claude.json`
-
-Run `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions` once interactively to create `~/.claude.json`. This file must exist before cron-driven agents can run.
-
-```bash
-claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
-# Exit after it initializes successfully
-```
-
-## 5. File Ownership
-
-Everything under `/home/debian` must be owned by `debian:debian`. Root-owned files cause permission errors when agents run as the `debian` user.
-
-```bash
-chown -R debian:debian /home/debian/harb /home/debian/dark-factory
-```
-
-Verify no root-owned files exist in agent temp directories:
-
-```bash
-# These should return nothing
-find /tmp/dev-* /tmp/harb-* /tmp/review-* -not -user debian 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-## 5b. Woodpecker CI + Forgejo Integration
-
-`disinto init` automatically configures Woodpecker to use the local Forgejo instance as its forge backend if `WOODPECKER_SERVER` is set in `.env`. This includes:
-
-1. Creating an OAuth2 application on Forgejo for Woodpecker
-2. Writing `WOODPECKER_FORGEJO_*` env vars to `.env`
-3. Activating the repo in Woodpecker
-
-### Manual setup (if Woodpecker runs outside of `disinto init`)
-
-If you manage Woodpecker separately, configure these env vars in its server config:
-
-```bash
-WOODPECKER_FORGEJO=true
-WOODPECKER_FORGEJO_URL=http://localhost:3000
-WOODPECKER_FORGEJO_CLIENT=<oauth2-client-id>
-WOODPECKER_FORGEJO_SECRET=<oauth2-client-secret>
-```
-
-To create the OAuth2 app on Forgejo:
-
-```bash
-# Create OAuth2 application (redirect URI = Woodpecker authorize endpoint)
-curl -X POST \
-  -H "Authorization: token ${FORGE_TOKEN}" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/user/applications/oauth2" \
-  -d '{"name":"woodpecker-ci","redirect_uris":["http://localhost:8000/authorize"],"confidential_client":true}'
-```
-
-The response contains `client_id` and `client_secret` for `WOODPECKER_FORGEJO_CLIENT` / `WOODPECKER_FORGEJO_SECRET`.
-
-To activate the repo in Woodpecker:
-
-```bash
-woodpecker-cli repo add <org>/<repo>
-# Or via API:
-curl -X POST \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${WOODPECKER_TOKEN}" \
-  "http://localhost:8000/api/repos" \
-  -d '{"forge_remote_id":"<org>/<repo>"}'
-```
-
-Woodpecker will now trigger pipelines on pushes to Forgejo and push commit status back. Disinto queries Woodpecker directly for CI status (with a forge API fallback), so pipeline results are visible even if Woodpecker's status push to Forgejo is delayed.
-
-## 6. Prepare the Target Repo
-
-### Required: CI pipeline
-
-The repo needs at least one Woodpecker pipeline. Disinto monitors CI status to decide when a PR is ready for review and when it can merge.
-
-### Required: `CLAUDE.md`
-
-Create a `CLAUDE.md` in the repo root. This is the context document that dev-agent and review-agent read before working. It should cover:
-
-- **What the project is** (one paragraph)
-- **Tech stack** (languages, frameworks, DB)
-- **How to build/run/test** (`npm install`, `npm test`, etc.)
-- **Coding conventions** (import style, naming, linting rules)
-- **Project structure** (key directories and what lives where)
-
-The dev-agent reads this file via `claude -p` before implementing any issue. The better this file, the better the output.
-
-### Required: Issue labels
-
-`disinto init` creates these automatically. If setting up manually, create these labels on the forge repo:
-
-| Label | Purpose |
-|-------|---------|
-| `backlog` | Issues ready to be picked up by dev-agent |
-| `in-progress` | Managed by dev-agent (auto-applied, auto-removed) |
-
-Optional but recommended:
-
-| Label | Purpose |
-|-------|---------|
-| `tech-debt` | Gardener can promote these to `backlog` |
-| `blocked` | Dev-agent marks issues with unmet dependencies |
-| `formula` | **Not yet functional.** Formula dispatch lives on the unmerged `feat/formula` branch. Dev-agent will skip any issue with this label until that branch is merged. Template files exist in `formulas/` for future use. |
-
-### Required: Branch protection
-
-On Forgejo, set up branch protection for your primary branch:
-
-- **Require pull request reviews**: enabled
-- **Required approvals**: 1 (from the review bot account)
-- **Restrict push**: only allow merges via PR
-
-This ensures dev-agent can't merge its own PRs — it must wait for review-agent (running as the bot account) to approve.
-
-> **Common pitfall:** Approvals alone are not enough. You must also:
-> 1. Add `review-bot` as a **write** collaborator on the repo (Settings → Collaborators)
-> 2. Set both `approvals_whitelist_username` **and** `merge_whitelist_usernames` to include `review-bot` in the branch protection rule
->
-> Without write access, the bot's approval is counted but the merge API returns HTTP 405.
-
-### Required: Seed the `AGENTS.md` tree
-
-The planner maintains an `AGENTS.md` tree — architecture docs with
-per-file `<!-- last-reviewed: SHA -->` watermarks. You must seed this before
-the first planner run, otherwise the planner sees no watermarks and treats the
-entire repo as "new", generating a noisy first-run diff.
-
-1. **Create `AGENTS.md` in the repo root** with a one-page overview of the
-   project: what it is, tech stack, directory layout, key conventions. Link
-   to sub-directory AGENTS.md files.
-
-2. **Create sub-directory `AGENTS.md` files** for each major directory
-   (e.g. `frontend/AGENTS.md`, `backend/AGENTS.md`). Keep each under ~200
-   lines — architecture and conventions, not implementation details.
-
-3. **Set the watermark** on line 1 of every AGENTS.md file to the current HEAD:
-   ```bash
-   SHA=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
-   for f in $(find . -name "AGENTS.md" -not -path "./.git/*"); do
-     sed -i "1s/^/<!-- last-reviewed: ${SHA} -->\n/" "$f"
-   done
-   ```
-
-4. **Symlink `CLAUDE.md`** so Claude Code picks up the same file:
-   ```bash
-   ln -sf AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md
-   ```
-
-5. Commit and push. The planner will now see 0 changes on its first run and
-   only update files when real commits land.
-
-See `formulas/run-planner.toml` (agents-update step) for the full AGENTS.md conventions.
-
-## 7. Write Good Issues
-
-Dev-agent works best with issues that have:
-
-- **Clear title** describing the change (e.g., "Add email validation to customer form")
-- **Acceptance criteria** — what "done" looks like
-- **Dependencies** — reference blocking issues with `#NNN` in the body or a `## Dependencies` section:
-  ```
-  ## Dependencies
-  - #4
-  - #7
-  ```
-
-Dev-agent checks that all referenced issues are closed (= merged) before starting work. If any are open, the issue is skipped and checked again next cycle.
-
-## 8. Install Cron
-
-```bash
-crontab -e
-```
-
-### Single project
-
-Add (adjust paths):
-
-```cron
-FACTORY_ROOT=/home/you/disinto
-
-# Supervisor — health checks, auto-healing (every 10 min)
-0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/supervisor/supervisor-poll.sh
-
-# Review agent — find unreviewed PRs (every 10 min, offset +3)
-3,13,23,33,43,53 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/review/review-poll.sh $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/myproject.toml
-
-# Dev agent — find ready issues, implement (every 10 min, offset +6)
-6,16,26,36,46,56 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/dev/dev-poll.sh $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/myproject.toml
-
-# Gardener — backlog grooming (daily)
-15 8 * * *                $FACTORY_ROOT/gardener/gardener-poll.sh
-
-# Planner — AGENTS.md maintenance + gap analysis (weekly)
-0 9 * * 1                 $FACTORY_ROOT/planner/planner-poll.sh
-```
-
-`review-poll.sh`, `dev-poll.sh`, and `gardener-poll.sh` all take a project TOML file as their first argument.
-
-### Multiple projects
-
-Stagger each project's polls so they don't overlap. With the example below, cross-project gaps are 2 minutes:
-
-```cron
-FACTORY_ROOT=/home/you/disinto
-
-# Supervisor (shared)
-0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/supervisor/supervisor-poll.sh
-
-# Project A — review +3, dev +6
-3,13,23,33,43,53 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/review/review-poll.sh $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/project-a.toml
-6,16,26,36,46,56 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/dev/dev-poll.sh     $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/project-a.toml
-
-# Project B — review +8, dev +1  (2-min gap from project A)
-8,18,28,38,48,58 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/review/review-poll.sh $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/project-b.toml
-1,11,21,31,41,51 * * * * $FACTORY_ROOT/dev/dev-poll.sh     $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/project-b.toml
-
-# Gardener — per-project backlog grooming (daily)
-15 8 * * *                $FACTORY_ROOT/gardener/gardener-poll.sh $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/project-a.toml
-45 8 * * *                $FACTORY_ROOT/gardener/gardener-poll.sh $FACTORY_ROOT/projects/project-b.toml
-
-# Planner — AGENTS.md maintenance + gap analysis (weekly)
-0 9 * * 1                 $FACTORY_ROOT/planner/planner-poll.sh
-```
-
-The staggered offsets prevent agents from competing for resources. Each project gets its own lock file (`/tmp/dev-agent-{name}.lock`) derived from the `name` field in its TOML, so concurrent runs across projects are safe.
-
-## 9. Verify
-
-```bash
-# Should complete with "all clear" (no problems to fix)
-bash supervisor/supervisor-poll.sh
-
-# Should list backlog issues (or "no backlog issues")
-bash dev/dev-poll.sh
-
-# Should find no unreviewed PRs (or review one if exists)
-bash review/review-poll.sh
-```
-
-Check logs after a few cycles:
-
-```bash
-tail -30 supervisor/supervisor.log
-tail -30 dev/dev-agent.log
-tail -30 review/review.log
-```
-
-## Lifecycle
-
-Once running, the system operates autonomously:
-
-```
-You write issues (with backlog label)
-  → dev-poll finds ready issues
-    → dev-agent implements in a worktree, opens PR
-      → CI runs (Woodpecker)
-        → review-agent reviews, approves or requests changes
-          → dev-agent addresses feedback (if any)
-            → merge, close issue, clean up
-
-Meanwhile:
-  supervisor-poll monitors health, kills stale processes, manages resources
-  gardener grooms backlog: closes duplicates, promotes tech-debt, escalates ambiguity
-  planner rebuilds AGENTS.md from git history, gap-analyses against VISION.md
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Symptom | Check |
-|---------|-------|
-| Dev-agent not picking up issues | `cat /tmp/dev-agent.lock` — is another instance running? Issues labeled `backlog`? Dependencies met? |
-| PR not getting reviewed | `tail review/review.log` — CI must pass first. Review bot token valid? |
-| CI stuck | `bash lib/ci-debug.sh` — check Woodpecker. Rate-limited? (exit 128 = wait 15 min) |
-| Claude not found | `which claude` — must be in PATH. Check `lib/env.sh` adds `~/.local/bin`. |
-| Merge fails | Branch protection misconfigured? Review bot needs write access to the repo. |
-| Memory issues | Supervisor auto-heals at <500 MB free. Check `supervisor/supervisor.log` for P0 alerts. |
-| Works on one box but not another | Diff configs first (`~/.claude/settings.json`, `.env`, crontab, branch protection). Write code never — config mismatches are the #1 cause of cross-box failures. |
-
-### Multi-project common blockers
-
-| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
-|---------|-------|-----|
-| Dev-agent for project B never starts | Shared lock file path | Each TOML `name` field must be unique — lock is `/tmp/dev-agent-{name}.lock` |
-| Review-poll skips all PRs | CI gate with no CI configured | Set `woodpecker_repo_id = 0` in the TOML `[ci]` section to bypass the CI check |
-| Approved PRs never merge (HTTP 405) | `review-bot` not in merge/approvals whitelist | Add as write collaborator; set both `approvals_whitelist_username` and `merge_whitelist_usernames` in branch protection |
-| Dev-agent churns through issues without waiting for open PRs to land | No single-threaded enforcement | `WAITING_PRS` check in dev-poll holds new work — verify TOML `name` is consistent across invocations |
-| Label ping-pong (issue reopened then immediately re-closed) | `already_done` handler doesn't close issue | Review dev-agent log; `already_done` status should auto-close the issue |
-
-## Security: Docker Socket Sharing in CI
-
-The `woodpecker-agent` service mounts `/var/run/docker.sock` to execute `type: docker` CI pipelines. This grants root-equivalent access to the Docker host — any CI pipeline step can run privileged containers, mount arbitrary host paths, or access other containers' data.
-
-**Mitigations:**
-
-- **Run disinto in an LXD/VM container, not on bare metal.** When the Docker daemon runs inside an LXD container, LXD's user namespace mapping and resource limits contain the blast radius. A compromised CI step cannot reach the real host.
-- **`WOODPECKER_MAX_WORKFLOWS: 1`** limits concurrent CI resource usage, preventing a runaway pipeline from exhausting host resources.
-- **`WOODPECKER_AGENT_SECRET`** authenticates the agent↔server gRPC connection. `disinto init` auto-generates this secret and stores it in `.env` (or `.env.enc` when SOPS is available).
-- Consider setting `WOODPECKER_BACKEND_DOCKER_VOLUMES` on the agent to restrict which host volumes CI pipelines can mount.
-
-**Threat model:** PRs are created by the dev-agent (Claude) and auto-reviewed by the review-bot. A crafted backlog issue could theoretically produce a PR whose CI step exploits the Docker socket. The LXD containment boundary is the primary defense — treat the LXD container as the trust boundary, not the Docker daemon inside it.

action-vault/SCHEMA.md

@@ -0,0 +1,97 @@
+# Vault Action TOML Schema
+
+This document defines the schema for vault action TOML files used in the PR-based approval workflow (issue #74).
+
+## File Location
+
+Vault actions are stored in `vault/actions/<action-id>.toml` on the ops repo.
+
+## Schema Definition
+
+```toml
+# Required
+id = "publish-skill-20260331"
+formula = "clawhub-publish"
+context = "SKILL.md bumped to 0.3.0"
+
+# Required secrets to inject (env vars)
+secrets = ["CLAWHUB_TOKEN"]
+
+# Optional file-based credential mounts
+mounts = ["ssh"]
+
+# Optional
+model = "sonnet"
+tools = ["clawhub"]
+timeout_minutes = 30
+blast_radius = "low"       # optional: overrides policy.toml tier ("low"|"medium"|"high")
+```
+
+## Field Specifications
+
+### Required Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | string | Unique identifier for the vault action. Format: `<action-type>-<date>` (e.g., `publish-skill-20260331`) |
+| `formula` | string | Formula name from `formulas/` directory that defines the operational task to execute |
+| `context` | string | Human-readable explanation of why this action is needed. Used in PR description |
+| `secrets` | array of strings | List of secret names to inject into the execution environment. Only these secrets are passed to the container |
+
+### Optional Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `mounts` | array of strings | `[]` | Well-known mount aliases for file-based credentials. The dispatcher maps each alias to a read-only volume flag |
+| `model` | string | `sonnet` | Override the default Claude model for this action |
+| `tools` | array of strings | `[]` | MCP tools to enable during execution |
+| `timeout_minutes` | integer | `60` | Maximum execution time in minutes |
+| `blast_radius` | string | _(from policy.toml)_ | Override blast-radius tier for this invocation. Valid values: `"low"`, `"medium"`, `"high"`. See [docs/BLAST-RADIUS.md](../docs/BLAST-RADIUS.md) |
+
+## Secret Names
+
+Secret names must have a corresponding `secrets/<NAME>.enc` file (age-encrypted). The vault validates that requested secrets exist in the allowlist before execution.
+
+Common secret names:
+- `CLAWHUB_TOKEN` - Token for ClawHub skill publishing
+- `GITHUB_TOKEN` - GitHub API token for repository operations
+- `DEPLOY_KEY` - Infrastructure deployment key
+
+## Mount Aliases
+
+Mount aliases map to read-only volume flags passed to the runner container:
+
+| Alias | Maps to |
+|-------|---------|
+| `ssh` | `-v ${HOME}/.ssh:/home/agent/.ssh:ro` |
+| `gpg` | `-v ${HOME}/.gnupg:/home/agent/.gnupg:ro` |
+| `sops` | `-v ${HOME}/.config/sops/age:/home/agent/.config/sops/age:ro` |
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+1. **Required fields**: `id`, `formula`, `context`, and `secrets` must be present
+2. **Formula validation**: The formula must exist in the `formulas/` directory
+3. **Secret validation**: All secrets in the `secrets` array must be in the allowlist
+4. **No unknown fields**: The TOML must not contain fields outside the schema
+5. **ID uniqueness**: The `id` must be unique across all vault actions
+
+## Example Files
+
+See `vault/examples/` for complete examples:
+- `webhook-call.toml` - Example of calling an external webhook
+- `promote.toml` - Example of promoting a build/artifact
+- `publish.toml` - Example of publishing a skill to ClawHub
+
+## Usage
+
+Validate a vault action file:
+
+```bash
+./vault/validate.sh vault/actions/<action-id>.toml
+```
+
+The validator will check:
+- All required fields are present
+- Secret names are in the allowlist
+- No unknown fields are present
+- Formula exists in the formulas directory

-# Action Agent
-
-**Role**: Execute operational tasks described by action formulas — run scripts,
-call APIs, send messages, collect human approval. Shares the same phase handler
-as the dev-agent: if an action produces code changes, the orchestrator creates a
-PR and drives the CI/review loop; otherwise Claude closes the issue directly.
-
-**Trigger**: `action-poll.sh` runs every 10 min via cron. Sources `lib/guard.sh`
-and calls `check_active action` first — skips if `$FACTORY_ROOT/state/.action-active`
-is absent. Then scans for open issues labeled `action` that have no active tmux
-session, and spawns `action-agent.sh <issue-number>`.
-
-**Key files**:
-- `action/action-poll.sh` — Cron scheduler: finds open action issues with no active tmux session, spawns action-agent.sh
-- `action/action-agent.sh` — Orchestrator: fetches issue body + prior comments, **checks all dependencies via `lib/parse-deps.sh` before spawning** (skips silently if any dep is still open), creates tmux session (`action-{project}-{issue_num}`) with interactive `claude`, injects formula prompt with phase protocol, enters `monitor_phase_loop` (shared via `dev/phase-handler.sh`) for CI/review lifecycle or direct completion
-
-**Session lifecycle**:
-1. `action-poll.sh` finds open `action` issues with no active tmux session.
-2. Spawns `action-agent.sh <issue_num>`.
-3. Agent creates tmux session `action-{project}-{issue_num}`, injects prompt (formula + prior comments + phase protocol).
-4. Agent enters `monitor_phase_loop` (shared with dev-agent via `dev/phase-handler.sh`).
-5. **Path A (git output):** Claude pushes branch → `PHASE:awaiting_ci` → handler creates PR, polls CI → injects failures → Claude fixes → push → re-poll → CI passes → `PHASE:awaiting_review` → handler polls reviews → injects REQUEST_CHANGES → Claude fixes → approved → merge → cleanup.
-6. **Path B (no git output):** Claude posts results as comment, closes issue → `PHASE:done` → handler cleans up (kill session, docker compose down, remove temp files).
-7. For human input: Claude writes `PHASE:escalate`; human responds via vault/forge.
-
-**Crash recovery**: on `PHASE:crashed` or non-zero exit, the worktree is **preserved** (not destroyed) for debugging. Location logged. Supervisor housekeeping removes stale crashed worktrees older than 24h.
-
-**Environment variables consumed**:
-- `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FORGE_ACTION_TOKEN` (falls back to FORGE_TOKEN), `FORGE_REPO`, `FORGE_API`, `FORGE_URL`, `PROJECT_NAME`, `FORGE_WEB`
-- `ACTION_IDLE_TIMEOUT` — Max seconds before killing idle session (default 14400 = 4h)
-- `ACTION_MAX_LIFETIME` — Max total session wall-clock seconds (default 28800 = 8h); caps session independently of idle timeout
-
-**FORGE_REMOTE**: `action-agent.sh` auto-detects the git remote for `FORGE_URL` (same logic as dev-agent). Exported as `FORGE_REMOTE`, used for worktree creation and push instructions injected into the Claude prompt.

-# action-agent.sh — Autonomous action agent: tmux + Claude + action formula
-#
-# Usage: ./action-agent.sh <issue-number> [project.toml]
-#
-# Lifecycle:
-#   1. Fetch issue body (action formula) + existing comments
-#   2. Create isolated git worktree: /tmp/action-{issue}-{timestamp}
-#   3. Create tmux session: action-{project}-{issue_num} with interactive claude in worktree
-#   4. Inject initial prompt: formula + comments + phase protocol instructions
-#   5. Monitor phase file via monitor_phase_loop (shared with dev-agent)
-#   Path A (git output): Claude pushes → handler creates PR → CI poll → review
-#     injection → merge → cleanup (same loop as dev-agent via phase-handler.sh)
-#   Path B (no git output): Claude posts results → PHASE:done → cleanup
-#   6. For human input: Claude writes PHASE:escalate; human responds via vault/forge
-#   7. Cleanup on terminal phase: kill children, destroy worktree, remove temp files
-#
-# Key principle: The runtime creates and destroys. The formula preserves.
-# The formula must push results before signaling done — the worktree is nuked after.

-
-## Issue #${ISSUE}: ${ISSUE_TITLE}
-
-${ISSUE_BODY}
-${SCRATCH_CONTEXT}
-${PRIOR_SECTION}## Instructions
-
-1. Read the action formula steps in the issue body carefully.
-
-2. Execute each step in order using your Bash tool and any other tools available.
-
-3. Post progress as comments on issue #${ISSUE} after significant steps:
-   curl -sf -X POST \\
-     -H \"Authorization: token \${FORGE_TOKEN}\" \\
-     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
-     \"${FORGE_API}/issues/${ISSUE}/comments\" \\
-     -d \"{\\\"body\\\": \\\"your comment here\\\"}\"
-
-4. If a step requires human input or approval, write PHASE:escalate with a reason.
-   A human will review and respond via the forge.
-
-### Path A: If this action produces code changes (e.g. config updates, baselines):
-   - You are already in an isolated worktree at: ${WORKTREE}
-   - Create and switch to branch: git checkout -b ${BRANCH}
-   - Make your changes, commit, and push: git push ${FORGE_REMOTE} ${BRANCH}
-   - **IMPORTANT:** The worktree is destroyed after completion. Push all
-     results before signaling done — unpushed work will be lost.
-   - Follow the phase protocol below — the orchestrator handles PR creation,
-     CI monitoring, and review injection.
-
-### Path B: If this action produces no code changes (investigation, report):
-   - Post results as a comment on issue #${ISSUE}.
-   - **IMPORTANT:** The worktree is destroyed after completion. Copy any
-     files you need to persistent paths before signaling done.
-   - Close the issue:
-     curl -sf -X PATCH \\
-       -H \"Authorization: token \${FORGE_TOKEN}\" \\
-       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
-       \"${FORGE_API}/issues/${ISSUE}\" \\
-       -d '{\"state\": \"closed\"}'
-   - Signal completion: echo \"PHASE:done\" > \"${PHASE_FILE}\"
-
-5. Environment variables available in your bash sessions:
-   FORGE_TOKEN, FORGE_API, FORGE_REPO, FORGE_WEB, PROJECT_NAME
-   (all sourced from ${FACTORY_ROOT}/.env)
-
-### CRITICAL: Never embed secrets in issue bodies, comments, or PR descriptions
-   - NEVER put API keys, tokens, passwords, or private keys in issue text or comments.
-   - Always reference secrets via env var names (e.g. \\\$BASE_RPC_URL, \\\${FORGE_TOKEN}).
-   - If a formula step needs a secret, read it from .env or the environment at runtime.
-   - Before posting any comment, verify it contains no credentials, hex keys > 32 chars,
-     or URLs with embedded API keys.
-
-If the prior comments above show work already completed, resume from where it
-left off.

+# Architect — Agent Instructions
+
+## What this agent is
+
+The architect is a strategic decomposition agent that breaks down vision issues
+into development sprints. It proposes sprints via PRs on the ops repo and
+converses with humans through PR comments.
+
+## Role
+
+- **Input**: Vision issues from VISION.md, prerequisite tree from ops repo
+- **Output**: Sprint proposals as PRs on the ops repo (with embedded `## Sub-issues` blocks)
+- **Mechanism**: Bash-driven orchestration in `architect-run.sh`, pitching formula via `formulas/run-architect.toml`
+- **Identity**: `architect-bot` on Forgejo (READ-ONLY on project repo, write on ops repo only — #764)
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+1. **Strategic decomposition**: Break down large vision items into coherent
+   sprints that can be executed by the dev agent
+2. **Design fork identification**: When multiple implementation approaches exist,
+   identify the forks and file sub-issues for each path
+3. **Sprint PR creation**: Propose sprints as PRs on the ops repo with clear
+   acceptance criteria and dependencies
+4. **Human conversation**: Respond to PR comments, refine sprint proposals based
+   on human feedback
+5. **Sub-issue definition**: Define concrete sub-issues in the `## Sub-issues`
+   block of the sprint spec. Filing is handled by `filer-bot` after sprint PR
+   merge (#764)
+
+## Formula
+
+The architect pitching is driven by `formulas/run-architect.toml`. This formula defines
+the steps for:
+- Research: analyzing vision items and prerequisite tree
+- Pitch: creating structured sprint PRs with embedded `## Sub-issues` blocks
+- Design Q&A: refining the sprint via PR comments after human ACCEPT
+
+## Bash-driven orchestration
+
+Bash in `architect-run.sh` handles state detection and orchestration:
+
+- **Deterministic state detection**: Bash reads the Forgejo reviews API to detect
+  ACCEPT/REJECT decisions — checks both formal APPROVED reviews and PR comments, not just comments (#718)
+- **Human guidance injection**: Review body text from ACCEPT reviews is injected
+  directly into the research prompt as context
+- **Response processing**: When ACCEPT/REJECT responses are detected, bash invokes
+  the agent with appropriate context (session resumed for questions phase)
+- **Pitch capture**: `pitch_output` is written to a temp file instead of captured via `$()` subshell, because `agent_run` writes to side-channels (`SID_FILE`, `LOGFILE`) that subshell capture would suppress (#716)
+- **PR URL construction**: existing-PR check uses `${FORGE_API}/pulls` directly (not `${FORGE_API}/repos/…`) — the base URL already includes the repos segment (#717)
+
+### State transitions
+
+```
+New vision issue → pitch PR (model generates pitch, bash creates PR)
+  ↓
+APPROVED review → start design questions (model posts Q1:, adds Design forks section)
+  ↓
+Answers received → continue Q&A (model processes answers, posts follow-ups)
+  ↓
+All forks resolved → finalize ## Sub-issues section in sprint spec
+  ↓
+Sprint PR merged → filer-bot files sub-issues on project repo (#764)
+  ↓
+REJECT review → close PR + journal (model processes rejection, bash merges PR)
+```
+
+### Vision issue lifecycle
+
+Vision issues decompose into sprint sub-issues. Sub-issues are defined in the
+`## Sub-issues` block of the sprint spec (between `<!-- filer:begin -->` and
+`<!-- filer:end -->` markers) and filed by `filer-bot` after the sprint PR merges
+on the ops repo (#764).
+
+Each filer-created sub-issue carries a `<!-- decomposed-from: #<vision>, sprint: <slug>, id: <id> -->`
+marker in its body for idempotency and traceability.
+
+The filer-bot (via `lib/sprint-filer.sh`) handles vision lifecycle:
+1. After filing sub-issues, adds `in-progress` label to the vision issue
+2. On each run, checks if all sub-issues for a vision are closed
+3. If all closed, posts a summary comment and closes the vision issue
+
+The architect no longer writes to the project repo — it is read-only (#764).
+All project-repo writes (issue filing, label management, vision closure) are
+handled by filer-bot with its narrowly-scoped `FORGE_FILER_TOKEN`.
+
+### Session management
+
+The agent maintains a global session file at `/tmp/architect-session-{project}.sid`.
+When processing responses, bash checks if the PR is in the questions phase and
+resumes the session using `--resume session_id` to preserve codebase context.
+
+## Execution
+
+Run via `architect/architect-run.sh`, which:
+- Acquires a poll-loop lock (via `acquire_lock`) and checks available memory
+- Cleans up per-issue scratch files from previous runs (`/tmp/architect-{project}-scratch-*.md`)
+- Sources shared libraries (env.sh, formula-session.sh)
+- Exports `FORGE_TOKEN_OVERRIDE="${FORGE_ARCHITECT_TOKEN}"` BEFORE sourcing env.sh, ensuring architect-bot identity survives re-sourcing (#762)
+- Uses FORGE_ARCHITECT_TOKEN for authentication
+- Processes existing architect PRs via bash-driven design phase
+- Loads the formula and builds context from VISION.md, AGENTS.md, and ops repo
+- Bash orchestrates state management:
+  - Fetches open vision issues, open architect PRs, and merged sprint PRs from Forgejo API
+  - Filters out visions already with open PRs, in-progress label, sub-issues, or merged sprint PRs
+  - Selects up to `pitch_budget` (3 - open architect PRs) remaining vision issues
+  - For each selected issue, invokes stateless `claude -p` with issue body + context
+  - Creates PRs directly from pitch content (no scratch files)
+- Agent is invoked for stateless pitch generation and response processing (ACCEPT/REJECT handling)
+- NOTE: architect-bot is read-only on the project repo (#764) — sub-issue filing
+  and in-progress label management are handled by filer-bot after sprint PR merge
+
+**Multi-sprint pitching**: The architect pitches up to 3 sprints per run. Bash handles all state management:
+- Fetches Forgejo API data (vision issues, open PRs, merged PRs)
+- Filters and deduplicates (no model-level dedup or journal-based memory)
+- For each selected vision issue, bash invokes stateless `claude -p` to generate pitch markdown
+- Bash creates the PR with pitch content and posts ACCEPT/REJECT footer comment
+- Branch names use issue number (architect/sprint-vision-{issue_number}) to avoid collisions
+
+## Schedule
+
+The architect runs every 6 hours as part of the polling loop in
+`docker/agents/entrypoint.sh` (iteration math at line 196-208).
+
+## State
+
+Architect state is tracked in `state/.architect-active` (disabled by default —
+empty file not created, just document it).

+- #${issue_num} — ${issue_title}
+
+## What this enables
+<what the project can do after this sprint that it can't do now>
+
+## What exists today
+<current state — infrastructure, interfaces, code that can be reused>
+
+## Complexity
+<number of files/subsystems, estimated sub-issues>
+<gluecode vs greenfield ratio>
+
+## Risks
+<what could go wrong, what breaks if this is done badly>
+
+## Cost — new infra to maintain
+<what ongoing maintenance burden does this sprint add>
+<new services, scheduled tasks, formulas, agent roles>

+## Recommendation
+<architect's assessment: worth it / defer / alternative approach>
+
+## Sub-issues

 # Dev Agent
 
 **Role**: Implement issues autonomously — write code, push branches, address
 CI failures and review feedback.
 
-**Trigger**: `dev-poll.sh` runs every 10 min via cron. Sources `lib/guard.sh` and
-calls `check_active dev` first — skips if `$FACTORY_ROOT/state/.dev-active` is
-absent. Then performs a direct-merge scan (approved + CI green PRs — including
-chore/gardener PRs without issue numbers), then checks the agent lock and scans
-for ready issues using a two-tier priority queue: (1) `priority`+`backlog` issues
-first (FIFO within tier), then (2) plain `backlog` issues (FIFO). Orphaned
-in-progress issues are also picked up. The direct-merge scan runs before the lock
-check so approved PRs get merged even while a dev-agent session is active.
+**Trigger**: `dev-poll.sh` is invoked by the polling loop in `docker/agents/entrypoint.sh`

 **Key files**:
-- `dev/dev-poll.sh` — Cron scheduler: finds next ready issue, handles merge/rebase of approved PRs, tracks CI fix attempts. Formula guard skips issues labeled `formula`, `action`, `prediction/dismissed`, or `prediction/unreviewed` (replaced `prediction/backlog` — that label no longer exists)
-- `dev/dev-agent.sh` — Orchestrator: claims issue, creates worktree + tmux session with interactive `claude`, monitors phase file, injects CI results and review feedback, merges on approval
-- `dev/phase-handler.sh` — Phase callback functions: `post_refusal_comment()`, `_on_phase_change()`, `build_phase_protocol_prompt()`. `do_merge()` detects already-merged PRs on HTTP 405 (race with dev-poll's pre-lock scan) and returns success instead of escalating. Sources `lib/mirrors.sh` and calls `mirror_push()` after every successful merge.
+- `dev/dev-poll.sh` — Polling loop participant: finds next ready issue, handles merge/rebase
+of approved PRs, tracks CI fix attempts. Invoked by `docker/agents/entrypoint.sh` every 5
+minutes. `BOT_USER` is resolved once at startup via the Forge `/user` API and cached for
+all assignee checks. Formula guard skips issues labeled `formula`, `prediction/dismissed`,
+or `prediction/unreviewed`. **Race prevention**: checks issue assignee before claiming —
+skips if assigned to a different bot user. **Stale branch abandonment**: closes PRs and
+deletes branches that are behind `$PRIMARY_BRANCH` (restarts poll cycle for a fresh start).
+**Stale in-progress recovery**: on each poll cycle, scans for issues labeled `in-progress`.
+If the issue has a `vision` label, sets `BLOCKED_BY_INPROGRESS=true` and skips further
+stale checks (vision issues are managed by the architect). If the issue is assigned to
+`$BOT_USER` (this agent), checks for pending review feedback first — if an open PR has
+`REQUEST_CHANGES`, spawns the dev-agent to address it before setting `BLOCKED_BY_INPROGRESS=true`;
+otherwise just sets blocked. If assigned to another agent, logs and falls through (does not
+block). If no assignee, no open PR, and no agent lock file — removes `in-progress`, adds
+`blocked` with a human-triage comment. **Post-crash self-assigned recovery (#749)**: when the
+issue is self-assigned (this bot) but there is no open PR, dev-poll now checks for a lock
+file (`/tmp/dev-impl-summary-$PROJECT_NAME-$ISSUE_NUM.txt`) AND a remote branch
+(`fix/issue-$ISSUE_NUM`) before declaring "my thread is busy". If neither exists after a cold
+boot, it spawns a fresh dev-agent for recovery instead of looping forever. **Per-agent open-PR gate**: before starting new work,
+filters open waiting PRs to only those assigned to this agent (`$BOT_USER`). Other agents'
+PRs do not block this agent's pipeline (#358, #369). **Pre-lock merge scan own-PRs only**:
+the direct-merge scan only merges PRs whose linked issue is assigned to this agent — skips
+PRs owned by other bot users (#374).
+- `dev/dev-agent.sh` — Orchestrator: claims issue, creates worktree + tmux session with interactive `claude`, monitors phase file, injects CI results and review feedback, merges on approval. **Launched as a subshell** (`("${SCRIPT_DIR}/dev-agent.sh" ...) &`) — not via `nohup` — to avoid deadlocking the polling loop and review-poll when running in the same container (#693).

-# Signal the orchestrator to create the PR and watch for CI:

-**When you receive a "CI failed:" injection:**
-Fix the CI issue, then rebase on target branch and push:

-git push --force-with-lease ${_remote} ${_br}
-echo "PHASE:awaiting_ci" > "${_pf}"

+
+# Disinto Factory
+
+You are helping the user set up and operate a **disinto autonomous code factory**.
+
+## Guides
+
+- **[Setup guide](setup.md)** — First-time factory setup: environment, init, verification, backlog seeding
+- **[Operations guide](operations.md)** — Day-to-day: status checks, CI debugging, unsticking issues, Forgejo access
+
+## Important context
+
+- Read `AGENTS.md` for per-agent architecture and file-level docs
+- Read `VISION.md` for project philosophy
+- The factory uses a single internal Forgejo as its forge, regardless of where mirrors go
+- Dev-agent uses `claude -p` for one-shot implementation sessions
+- Mirror pushes happen automatically after every merge
+- Polling loop in `docker/agents/entrypoint.sh`: dev-poll/review-poll every 5m, gardener/architect every 6h, planner every 12h, predictor every 24h
+
+## References

+```
+
+### Unstick a blocked issue
+
+When a dev-agent run fails (CI timeout, implementation error), the issue gets labeled `blocked`:
+
+1. Close stale PR and delete the branch
+2. `docker exec disinto-agents-1 rm -f /tmp/dev-agent-*.json /tmp/dev-agent-*.lock`
+3. Relabel the issue to `backlog`
+4. Update agent repo: `docker exec -u agent disinto-agents-1 bash -c "cd /home/agent/repos/<name> && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main"`
+
+### Access Forgejo UI
+
+If running in an LXD container with reverse tunnel:
+```bash
+# From your machine:
+ssh -L 3000:localhost:13000 user@jump-host
+# Open http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+Reset admin password if needed:
+```bash
+docker exec disinto-forgejo-1 su -c "forgejo admin user change-password --username disinto-admin --password <new-pw> --must-change-password=false" git

+# Troubleshooting
+
+## WOODPECKER_TOKEN empty after init
+
+The OAuth2 flow failed. Common causes:
+
+1. **URL-encoded redirect_uri mismatch**: Forgejo logs show "Unregistered Redirect URI".
+   The init script must rewrite both plain and URL-encoded Docker hostnames.
+
+2. **Forgejo must_change_password**: Admin user was created with forced password change.
+   The init script calls `--must-change-password=false` but Forgejo 11.x sometimes ignores it.
+
+3. **WOODPECKER_OPEN not set**: WP refuses first-user OAuth registration without it.
+
+Manual fix: reset admin password and re-run the token generation manually, or
+use the Woodpecker UI to create a token.
+
+## WP CI agent won't connect (DeadlineExceeded)
+
+gRPC over Docker bridge fails in LXD (and possibly other nested container environments).
+The compose template uses `network_mode: host` + `privileged: true` for the agent.
+If you see this error, check:
+- Server exposes port 9000: `grep "9000:9000" docker-compose.yml`
+- Agent uses `localhost:9000`: `grep "WOODPECKER_SERVER" docker-compose.yml`
+- Agent has `network_mode: host`
+
+## CI clone fails (could not resolve host)
+
+CI containers need to resolve Docker service names (e.g., `forgejo`).
+Check `WOODPECKER_BACKEND_DOCKER_NETWORK` is set on the agent.
+
+## Webhooks not delivered
+
+Forgejo blocks outgoing webhooks by default. Check:
+```bash
+docker logs disinto-forgejo-1 2>&1 | grep "webhook.*ALLOWED_HOST_LIST"
+```
+Fix: add `FORGEJO__webhook__ALLOWED_HOST_LIST: "private"` to Forgejo environment.
+
+Also verify the webhook exists:
+```bash
+curl -sf -u "disinto-admin:<password>" "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/repos/<org>/<repo>/hooks" | jq '.[].config.url'
+```
+If missing, deactivate and reactivate the repo in Woodpecker to auto-create it.
+
+## Dev-agent fails with "cd: no such file or directory"
+
+`PROJECT_REPO_ROOT` inside the agents container points to a host path that doesn't
+exist in the container. Check the compose env:
+```bash
+docker inspect disinto-agents-1 --format '{{range .Config.Env}}{{println .}}{{end}}' | grep PROJECT_REPO_ROOT
+```
+Should be `/home/agent/repos/<name>`, not `/home/<user>/<name>`.

+# First-time setup
+
+Walk the user through these steps interactively. Ask questions where marked with [ASK].
+
+### 1. Environment
+
+[ASK] Where will the factory run? Options:
+- **LXD container** (recommended for isolation) — need Debian 12, Docker, nesting enabled
+- **Bare VM or server** — need Debian/Ubuntu with Docker
+- **Existing container** — check prerequisites
+
+Verify prerequisites:
+```bash
+docker --version && git --version && jq --version && curl --version && tmux -V && python3 --version && claude --version
+```
+
+Any missing tool — help the user install it before continuing.
+
+### 2. Clone disinto and choose a target project
+
+Clone the disinto factory itself:
+```bash
+git clone https://codeberg.org/johba/disinto.git && cd disinto
+```
+
+[ASK] What repository should the factory develop? Provide the **remote repository URL** in one of these formats:
+- Full URL: `https://github.com/johba/harb.git` or `https://codeberg.org/johba/harb.git`
+- Short slug: `johba/harb` (uses local Forgejo as the primary remote)
+
+The factory will clone from the remote URL (if provided) or from your local Forgejo, then mirror to the remote.
+
+Then initialize the factory for that project:
+```bash
+bin/disinto init johba/harb --yes
+# or with full URL:
+bin/disinto init https://github.com/johba/harb.git --yes
+```
+
+The `init` command will:
+- Create all bot users (dev-bot, review-bot, etc.) on the local Forgejo
+- Generate and save `WOODPECKER_TOKEN`
+- Start the stack containers
+- Clone the target repo into the agent workspace
+
+> **Note:** The `--repo-root` flag is optional and only needed if you want to customize
+> where the cloned repo lives. By default, it goes under `/home/agent/repos/<name>`.
+
+### 3. Post-init verification
+
+Run this checklist — fix any failures before proceeding:
+
+```bash
+# Stack healthy?
+docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
+# Expected: forgejo, woodpecker (healthy), woodpecker-agent (healthy), agents, edge, staging
+
+# Token generated?
+grep WOODPECKER_TOKEN .env | grep -v "^$" && echo "OK" || echo "MISSING — see references/troubleshooting.md"
+
+# Agent entrypoint loop running?
+docker exec disinto-agents-1 tail -5 /home/agent/data/agent-entrypoint.log
+
+# Agent can reach Forgejo?
+docker exec disinto-agents-1 bash -c "source /home/agent/disinto/.env && curl -sf http://forgejo:3000/api/v1/version | jq .version"
+
+# Agent repo cloned?
+docker exec -u agent disinto-agents-1 ls /home/agent/repos/
+```
+
+If the agent repo is missing, clone it:
+```bash
+docker exec disinto-agents-1 chown -R agent:agent /home/agent/repos
+docker exec -u agent disinto-agents-1 bash -c "source /home/agent/disinto/.env && git clone http://dev-bot:\${FORGE_TOKEN}@forgejo:3000/<org>/<repo>.git /home/agent/repos/<name>"
+```
+
+### 4. Create the project configuration file
+
+The factory uses a TOML file to configure how it manages your project. Create
+`projects/<name>.toml` based on the template format:
+
+```toml
+# projects/harb.toml
+
+name            = "harb"
+repo            = "johba/harb"
+forge_url       = "http://localhost:3000"
+repo_root       = "/home/agent/repos/harb"
+primary_branch  = "master"
+
+[ci]
+woodpecker_repo_id = 0
+stale_minutes      = 60
+
+[services]
+containers = ["ponder"]
+
+[monitoring]
+check_prs            = true
+check_dev_agent      = true
+check_pipeline_stall = true
+
+# [mirrors]
+# github   = "git@github.com:johba/harb.git"
+# codeberg = "git@codeberg.org:johba/harb.git"
+```
+
+**Key fields:**
+- `name`: Project identifier (used for file names, logs, etc.)
+- `repo`: The source repo in `owner/name` format
+- `forge_url`: URL of your local Forgejo instance
+- `repo_root`: Where the agent clones the repo
+- `primary_branch`: Default branch name (e.g., `main` or `master`)
+- `woodpecker_repo_id`: Set to `0` initially; auto-populated on first CI run
+- `containers`: List of Docker containers the factory should manage
+- `mirrors`: Optional external forge URLs for backup/sync
+
+### 5. Mirrors (optional)
+
+[ASK] Should the factory mirror to external forges? If yes, which?
+- GitHub: need repo URL and SSH key added to GitHub account
+- Codeberg: need repo URL and SSH key added to Codeberg account
+
+Show the user their public key:
+```bash
+cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
+```
+
+Test SSH access:
+```bash
+ssh -T git@github.com 2>&1; ssh -T git@codeberg.org 2>&1
+```
+
+If SSH host keys are missing: `ssh-keyscan github.com codeberg.org >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts 2>/dev/null`
+
+Edit `projects/<name>.toml` to uncomment and configure mirrors:
+```toml
+[mirrors]
+github   = "git@github.com:Org/repo.git"
+codeberg = "git@codeberg.org:user/repo.git"
+```
+
+Test with a manual push:
+```bash
+source .env && source lib/env.sh && export PROJECT_TOML=projects/<name>.toml && source lib/load-project.sh && source lib/mirrors.sh && mirror_push
+```
+
+### 6. Seed the backlog
+
+[ASK] What should the factory work on first? Brainstorm with the user.
+
+Help them create issues on the local Forgejo. Each issue needs:
+- A clear title prefixed with `fix:`, `feat:`, or `chore:`
+- A body describing what to change, which files, and any constraints
+- The `backlog` label (so the dev-agent picks it up)
+
+```bash
+source .env
+BACKLOG_ID=$(curl -sf "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/repos/<org>/<repo>/labels" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGE_TOKEN" | jq -r '.[] | select(.name=="backlog") | .id')
+
+curl -sf -X POST "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/repos/<org>/<repo>/issues" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGE_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "{\"title\": \"<title>\", \"body\": \"<body>\", \"labels\": [$BACKLOG_ID]}"
+```
+
+For issues with dependencies, add `Depends-on: #N` in the body — the dev-agent checks
+these before starting.
+
+Use labels:
+- `backlog` — ready for the dev-agent
+- `blocked` — parked, not for the factory
+- No label — tracked but not for autonomous work
+
+### 7. Watch it work
+
+The dev-agent runs every 5 minutes via the entrypoint polling loop. Trigger manually to see it immediately:
+```bash
+source .env
+export PROJECT_TOML=projects/<name>.toml
+docker exec -u agent disinto-agents-1 bash -c "cd /home/agent/disinto && bash dev/dev-poll.sh projects/<name>.toml"
+```
+
+Then monitor:
+```bash
+# Watch the agent work
+docker exec disinto-agents-1 tail -f /home/agent/data/logs/dev/dev-agent.log
+
+# Check for Claude running
+docker exec disinto-agents-1 bash -c "for f in /proc/[0-9]*/cmdline; do cmd=\$(tr '\0' ' ' < \$f 2>/dev/null); echo \$cmd | grep -q 'claude.*-p' && echo 'Claude is running'; done"
+```

+disinto-chat server — minimal HTTP backend for Claude chat UI.
+
+Routes:
+    GET /chat/auth/verify    -> Caddy forward_auth callback (returns 200+X-Forwarded-User or 401)
+    GET /chat/login          -> 302 to Forgejo OAuth authorize
+    GET /chat/oauth/callback -> exchange code for token, validate user, set session
+    GET /chat/               -> serves index.html (session required)
+    GET /chat/static/*       -> serves static assets (session required)
+    POST /chat               -> spawns `claude --print` with user message (session required)
+    GET /ws                  -> reserved for future streaming upgrade (returns 501)
+
+OAuth flow:
+    1. User hits any /chat/* route without a valid session cookie -> 302 /chat/login
+    2. /chat/login redirects to Forgejo /login/oauth/authorize
+    3. Forgejo redirects back to /chat/oauth/callback with ?code=...&state=...
+    4. Server exchanges code for access token, fetches /api/v1/user
+    5. Asserts user is in allowlist, sets HttpOnly session cookie
+    6. Redirects to /chat/
+
+The claude binary is expected to be mounted from the host at /usr/local/bin/claude.

+|------|---------|---------------|
+| low | Revertable, no external side effects | Direct commit to ops main; no human gate |
+| medium | Significant but reversible | PR on ops repo; blocks calling agent until merged |

+
+## Which agents are affected
+
+Vault-blocking applies to: predictor, planner, architect, deploy pipelines, releases, shipping.
+It does NOT apply to dev-agent — dev-agent work is always committed to a feature branch and
+revertable via git revert. Dev-agent never needs a vault gate.
+
+## Default tier
+
+Unknown formulas default to `high`. When adding a new formula, add it to
+`vault/policy.toml` (in ops repo, seeded during disinto init from disinto repo template).
+
+## Per-action override
+
+A vault action TOML may include `blast_radius = "low"` to override the policy tier
+for that specific invocation. Use sparingly — policy.toml is the authoritative source.

+# Claude Code OAuth Concurrency Model
+
+## Problem statement
+
+The factory runs multiple concurrent Claude Code processes across
+containers. OAuth access tokens are short-lived; refresh tokens rotate
+on each use. If two processes POST the same refresh token to Anthropic's
+token endpoint simultaneously, only one wins — the other gets
+`invalid_grant` and the operator is forced to re-login.
+
+Claude Code already serializes OAuth refreshes internally using
+`proper-lockfile` (`src/utils/auth.ts:1485-1491`):
+
+```typescript
+release = await lockfile.lock(claudeDir)
+```
+
+`proper-lockfile` creates a lockfile via an atomic `mkdir(${path}.lock)`
+call — a cross-process primitive that works across any number of
+processes on the same filesystem. The problem was never the lock
+implementation; it was that our old per-container bind-mount layout
+(`~/.claude` mounted but `/home/agent/` container-local) caused each
+container to compute a different lockfile path, so the locks never
+coordinated.
+
+## The fix: shared `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`
+
+`CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is an officially supported env var in Claude Code
+(`src/utils/envUtils.ts`). It controls where Claude resolves its config
+directory instead of the default `~/.claude`.
+
+By setting `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` to a path on a shared bind mount, every
+container computes the **same** lockfile location. `proper-lockfile`'s
+atomic `mkdir(${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR}.lock)` then gives free cross-container
+serialization — no external wrapper needed.
+
+## Current layout
+
+```
+Host filesystem:
+  /var/lib/disinto/claude-shared/          ← CLAUDE_SHARED_DIR
+  └── config/                              ← CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR
+      ├── .credentials.json
+      ├── settings.json
+      └── ...
+
+Inside every container:
+  Same absolute path: /var/lib/disinto/claude-shared/config
+  Env: CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/lib/disinto/claude-shared/config
+```
+
+The shared directory is mounted at the **same absolute path** inside
+every container, so `proper-lockfile` resolves an identical lock path
+everywhere.
+
+### Where these values are defined
+
+| What | Where |
+|------|-------|
+| Defaults for `CLAUDE_SHARED_DIR`, `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` | `lib/env.sh:138-140` |
+| `.env` documentation | `.env.example:92-99` |
+| Container mounts + env passthrough (edge dispatcher) | `docker/edge/dispatcher.sh:446-448` (and analogous blocks for reproduce, triage, verify) |
+| Auth detection using `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` | `docker/agents/entrypoint.sh:101-102` |
+| Bootstrap / migration during `disinto init` | `lib/claude-config.sh:setup_claude_config_dir()`, `bin/disinto:952-962` |
+
+## Migration for existing dev boxes
+
+For operators upgrading from the old `~/.claude` bind-mount layout,
+`disinto init` handles the migration interactively (or with `--yes`).
+The manual equivalent is:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop the factory
+disinto down
+
+# 2. Create the shared directory
+mkdir -p /var/lib/disinto/claude-shared
+
+# 3. Move existing config
+mv "$HOME/.claude" /var/lib/disinto/claude-shared/config
+
+# 4. Create a back-compat symlink so host-side claude still works
+ln -sfn /var/lib/disinto/claude-shared/config "$HOME/.claude"
+
+# 5. Export the env var (add to shell rc for persistence)
+export CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/lib/disinto/claude-shared/config
+
+# 6. Start the factory
+disinto up
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+Watch for these analytics events during concurrent agent runs:
+
+| Event | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `tengu_oauth_token_refresh_lock_acquiring` | A process is attempting to acquire the refresh lock |
+| `tengu_oauth_token_refresh_lock_acquired` | Lock acquired; refresh proceeding |
+| `tengu_oauth_token_refresh_lock_retry` | Lock is held by another process; retrying |
+| `tengu_oauth_token_refresh_lock_race_resolved` | Contention detected and resolved normally |
+| `tengu_oauth_token_refresh_lock_retry_limit_reached` | Lock acquisition failed after all retries |
+
+**Healthy:** `_race_resolved` appearing during contention windows — this
+means multiple processes tried to refresh simultaneously and the lock
+correctly serialized them.
+
+**Bad:** `_lock_retry_limit_reached` — indicates the lock is stuck or
+the shared mount is not working. Verify that `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` resolves
+to the same path in all containers and that the filesystem supports
+`mkdir` atomicity (any POSIX filesystem does).
+
+## The deferred external `flock` wrapper
+
+`lib/agent-sdk.sh:139,144` still wraps every `claude` invocation in an
+external `flock` on `${HOME}/.claude/session.lock`:
+
+```bash
+local lock_file="${HOME}/.claude/session.lock"
+...
+output=$(cd "$run_dir" && ( flock -w 600 9 || exit 1;
+  claude_run_with_watchdog claude "${args[@]}" ) 9>"$lock_file" ...)
+```
+
+With the `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` fix in place, this external lock is
+**redundant but harmless** — `proper-lockfile` serializes the refresh
+internally, and `flock` serializes the entire invocation externally.
+The external flock remains as a defense-in-depth measure; removal is
+tracked as a separate vision-tier issue.

+# Vault PR Workflow
+
+This document describes the vault PR-based approval workflow for the ops repo.
+
+## Overview
+
+The vault system enables agents to request execution of privileged actions (deployments, token operations, etc.) through a PR-based approval process. This replaces the old vault directory structure with a more auditable, collaborative workflow.
+
+## Branch Protection
+
+The `main` branch on the ops repo (`johba/disinto-ops`) is protected via Forgejo branch protection to enforce:
+
+- **Require 1 approval before merge** — All vault PRs must have at least one approval from an admin user
+- **Admin-only merge** — Only users with admin role can merge vault PRs (regular collaborators and bot accounts cannot)
+- **Block direct pushes** — All changes to `main` must go through PRs
+
+### Protection Rules
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|-------|
+| `enable_push` | `false` |
+| `enable_force_push` | `false` |
+| `enable_merge_commit` | `true` |
+| `required_approvals` | `1` |
+| `admin_enforced` | `true` |
+
+## Vault PR Lifecycle
+
+1. **Request** — Agent calls `lib/action-vault.sh:vault_request()` with action TOML content
+2. **Validation** — TOML is validated against the schema in `action-vault/vault-env.sh`
+3. **PR Creation** — A PR is created on `disinto-ops` with:
+   - Branch: `vault/<action-id>`
+   - Title: `vault: <action-id>`
+   - Labels: `vault`, `pending-approval`
+   - File: `vault/actions/<action-id>.toml`
+   - **Auto-merge enabled** — Forgejo will auto-merge after approval
+4. **Approval** — Admin user reviews and approves the PR
+5. **Auto-merge** — Forgejo automatically merges the PR once required approvals are met
+6. **Execution** — Dispatcher (issue #76) polls for merged vault PRs and executes them
+7. **Cleanup** — Executed vault items are moved to `fired/` (via PR)
+
+## Bot Account Behavior
+
+Bot accounts (dev-bot, review-bot, vault-bot, etc.) **cannot merge vault PRs** even if they have approval, due to the `admin_enforced` setting. This ensures:
+
+- Only human admins can approve sensitive vault actions
+- Bot accounts can only create vault PRs, not execute them
+- Bot accounts cannot self-approve vault PRs (Forgejo prevents this automatically)
+- Manual admin review is always required for privileged operations
+
+## Setup
+
+To set up branch protection on the ops repo:
+
+```bash
+# Source environment
+source lib/env.sh
+source lib/branch-protection.sh
+
+# Set up protection
+setup_vault_branch_protection main
+
+# Verify setup
+verify_branch_protection main
+```
+
+Or use the CLI directly:
+
+```bash
+export FORGE_TOKEN="<admin-token>"
+export FORGE_URL="https://codeberg.org"
+export FORGE_OPS_REPO="johba/disinto-ops"
+
+# Set up protection
+bash lib/branch-protection.sh setup main
+
+# Verify
+bash lib/branch-protection.sh verify main
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+To verify the protection is working:
+
+1. **Bot cannot merge** — Attempt to merge a PR with a bot token (should fail with HTTP 405)
+2. **Admin can merge** — Attempt to merge with admin token (should succeed)
+3. **Direct push blocked** — Attempt `git push origin main` (should be rejected)

+# agents-llama — Local-Qwen Dev Agent
+
+The `agents-llama` service is an optional compose service that runs a dev agent
+backed by a local llama-server instance (e.g. Qwen) instead of the Anthropic
+API. It uses the same Docker image as the main `agents` service but connects to
+a local inference endpoint via `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`.
+
+## Enabling
+
+Set `ENABLE_LLAMA_AGENT=1` in `.env` (or `.env.enc`) and provide the required
+credentials:
+
+```env
+ENABLE_LLAMA_AGENT=1
+FORGE_TOKEN_LLAMA=<dev-qwen API token>
+FORGE_PASS_LLAMA=<dev-qwen password>
+ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8081   # llama-server endpoint
+```
+
+Then regenerate the compose file (`disinto init ...`) and bring the stack up.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **llama-server** (or compatible OpenAI-API endpoint) running on the host,
+  reachable from inside Docker at the URL set in `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`.
+- A Forgejo bot user (e.g. `dev-qwen`) with its own API token and password,
+  stored as `FORGE_TOKEN_LLAMA` / `FORGE_PASS_LLAMA`.
+
+## Behaviour
+
+- `AGENT_ROLES=dev` — the llama agent only picks up dev work.
+- `CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE=60` — more aggressive compaction for smaller
+  context windows.
+- `depends_on: forgejo (service_healthy)` — does **not** depend on Woodpecker
+  (the llama agent doesn't need CI).
+- Serialises on the llama-server's single KV cache (AD-002).
+
+## Disabling
+
+Set `ENABLE_LLAMA_AGENT=0` (or leave it unset) and regenerate. The service
+block is omitted entirely from `docker-compose.yml`; the stack starts cleanly
+without it.

+# Edge Routing Fallback: Per-Project Subdomains
+
+> **Status:** Contingency plan. Only implement if subpath routing (#704 / #708)
+> proves unworkable.
+
+## Context
+
+The primary approach routes services under subpaths of `<project>.disinto.ai`:
+
+| Service    | Primary (subpath)                          |
+|------------|--------------------------------------------|
+| Forgejo    | `<project>.disinto.ai/forge/`              |
+| Woodpecker | `<project>.disinto.ai/ci/`                 |
+| Chat       | `<project>.disinto.ai/chat/`               |
+| Staging    | `<project>.disinto.ai/staging/`            |
+
+The fallback uses per-service subdomains instead:
+
+| Service    | Fallback (subdomain)                       |
+|------------|--------------------------------------------|
+| Forgejo    | `forge.<project>.disinto.ai/`              |
+| Woodpecker | `ci.<project>.disinto.ai/`                 |
+| Chat       | `chat.<project>.disinto.ai/`               |
+| Staging    | `<project>.disinto.ai/`  (root)            |
+
+The wildcard cert from #621 already covers `*.<project>.disinto.ai` — no new
+DNS records or certs are needed for sub-subdomains because `*.disinto.ai`
+matches one level deep. For sub-subdomains like `forge.<project>.disinto.ai`
+we would need to add a second wildcard (`*.*.disinto.ai`) or explicit DNS
+records per project. Both are straightforward with the existing Gandi DNS-01
+setup.
+
+## Pivot Decision Criteria
+
+**Pivot if:**
+
+- Forgejo `ROOT_URL` under a subpath (`/forge/`) causes redirect loops that
+  cannot be fixed with `X-Forwarded-Prefix` or Caddy `uri strip_prefix`.
+- Woodpecker's `WOODPECKER_HOST` does not honour subpath prefixes, causing
+  OAuth callback mismatches that persist after adjusting redirect URIs.
+- Forward-auth on `/chat/*` conflicts with Forgejo's own OAuth flow when both
+  share the same origin (cookie collision, CSRF token mismatch).
+
+**Do NOT pivot if:**
+
+- Forgejo login redirects to `/` instead of `/forge/` — fixable with Caddy
+  `handle_path` + `uri prefix` rewrite.
+- Woodpecker UI assets 404 under `/ci/` — fixable with asset prefix config
+  (`WOODPECKER_ROOT_PATH`).
+- A single OAuth app needs a second redirect URI — Forgejo supports multiple
+  `redirect_uris` in the same app.
+
+## Fallback Topology
+
+### Caddyfile
+
+Replace the single `:80` block with four host blocks:
+
+```caddy
+# Main project domain — staging / landing
+<project>.disinto.ai {
+    reverse_proxy staging:80
+}
+
+# Forgejo — root path, no subpath rewrite needed
+forge.<project>.disinto.ai {
+    reverse_proxy forgejo:3000
+}
+
+# Woodpecker CI — root path
+ci.<project>.disinto.ai {
+    reverse_proxy woodpecker:8000
+}
+
+# Chat — with forward_auth (same as #709, but on its own host)
+chat.<project>.disinto.ai {
+    handle /login {
+        reverse_proxy chat:8080
+    }
+    handle /oauth/callback {
+        reverse_proxy chat:8080
+    }
+    handle /* {
+        forward_auth chat:8080 {
+            uri /auth/verify
+            copy_headers X-Forwarded-User
+            header_up X-Forward-Auth-Secret {$FORWARD_AUTH_SECRET}
+        }
+        reverse_proxy chat:8080
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Current file:** `docker/Caddyfile` (generated by `lib/generators.sh:_generate_caddyfile_impl`, line ~596).
+
+### Service Configuration Changes
+
+| Variable / Setting         | Current (subpath)                              | Fallback (subdomain)                            | File                        |
+|----------------------------|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|
+| Forgejo `ROOT_URL`         | `https://<project>.disinto.ai/forge/`          | `https://forge.<project>.disinto.ai/`           | forgejo `app.ini`           |
+| `WOODPECKER_HOST`          | `http://localhost:8000` (subpath via proxy)     | `https://ci.<project>.disinto.ai`               | `lib/ci-setup.sh` line ~164 |
+| Woodpecker OAuth redirect  | `https://<project>.disinto.ai/ci/authorize`    | `https://ci.<project>.disinto.ai/authorize`     | `lib/ci-setup.sh` line ~153 |
+| Chat OAuth redirect        | `https://<project>.disinto.ai/chat/oauth/callback` | `https://chat.<project>.disinto.ai/oauth/callback` | `lib/ci-setup.sh` line ~188 |
+| `EDGE_TUNNEL_FQDN`         | `<project>.disinto.ai`                         | unchanged (main domain)                         | `lib/generators.sh` line ~432 |
+
+### New Environment Variables (pivot only)
+
+These would be added to `lib/generators.sh` `_generate_compose_impl()` in the
+edge service environment block (currently line ~415):
+
+| Variable                     | Value                                  |
+|------------------------------|----------------------------------------|

+| `EDGE_TUNNEL_FQDN_CI`       | `ci.<project>.disinto.ai`              |
+| `EDGE_TUNNEL_FQDN_CHAT`     | `chat.<project>.disinto.ai`            |
+
+### DNS
+
+No new records needed if the registrar supports `*.*.disinto.ai` wildcards.
+Otherwise, add explicit A/CNAME records per project:
+
+```
+forge.<project>.disinto.ai  → edge server IP
+ci.<project>.disinto.ai     → edge server IP
+chat.<project>.disinto.ai   → edge server IP
+```
+
+The edge server already handles TLS via Caddy's automatic HTTPS with the
+existing ACME / DNS-01 challenge.
+
+### Edge Control (`tools/edge-control/register.sh`)
+
+Currently `do_register()` creates a single route for `<project>.disinto.ai`.
+The fallback would need to register four routes (or accept a `--subdomain`
+parameter). See the TODO in `register.sh`.
+
+## Files to Change on Pivot
+
+| File                              | What changes                                                    |
+|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `docker/Caddyfile`               | Replace single host block → four host blocks (see above)        |

+# Investigation: Reviewer approved destructive compose rewrite in PR #683
+
+**Issue**: #685
+**Date**: 2026-04-11
+**PR under investigation**: #683 (fix: config: gardener=1h, architect=9m, planner=11m)
+
+## Summary
+
+The reviewer agent approved PR #683 in ~1 minute without flagging that it
+contained a destructive rewrite of `docker-compose.yml` — dropping named
+volumes, bind mounts, env vars, restart policy, and security options. Six
+structural gaps in the review pipeline allowed this to pass.
+
+## Root causes
+
+### 1. No infrastructure-file-specific review checklist
+
+The review formula (`formulas/review-pr.toml`) has a generic review checklist
+(bugs, security, imports, architecture, bash specifics, dead code). It has
+**no special handling for infrastructure files** — `docker-compose.yml`,
+`Dockerfile`, CI configs, or `entrypoint.sh` are reviewed with the same
+checklist as application code.
+
+Infrastructure files have a different failure mode: a single dropped line
+(a volume mount, an env var, a restart policy) can break a running deployment
+without any syntax error or linting failure. The generic checklist doesn't
+prompt the reviewer to check for these regressions.
+
+**Fix applied**: Added step 3c "Infrastructure file review" to
+`formulas/review-pr.toml` with a compose-specific checklist covering named
+volumes, bind mounts, env vars, restart policy, and security options.
+
+### 2. No scope discipline
+
+Issue #682 asked for ~3 env var changes + `PLANNER_INTERVAL` plumbing — roughly
+10-15 lines across 3-4 files. PR #683's diff rewrote the entire compose service
+block (~50+ lines changed in `docker-compose.yml` alone).
+
+The review formula **does not instruct the reviewer to compare diff size against
+issue scope**. A scope-aware reviewer would flag: "this PR changes more lines
+than the issue scope warrants — request justification for out-of-scope changes."
+
+**Fix applied**: Added step 3d "Scope discipline" to `formulas/review-pr.toml`
+requiring the reviewer to compare actual changes against stated issue scope and
+flag out-of-scope modifications to infrastructure files.
+
+### 3. Lessons-learned bias toward approval
+
+The reviewer's `.profile/knowledge/lessons-learned.md` contains multiple entries
+that systematically bias toward approval:
+
+- "Approval means 'ready to ship,' not 'perfect.'"
+- "'Different from how I'd write it' is not a blocker."
+- "Reserve request_changes for genuinely blocking concerns."
+
+These lessons are well-intentioned (they prevent nit-picking and false blocks)
+but they create a blind spot: the reviewer suppresses its instinct to flag
+suspicious-looking changes because the lessons tell it not to block on
+"taste-based" concerns. A compose service block rewrite *looks* like a style
+preference ("the dev reorganized the file") but is actually a correctness
+regression.
+
+**Recommendation**: The lessons-learned are not wrong — they should stay. But
+the review formula now explicitly carves out infrastructure files from the
+"bias toward APPROVE" guidance, making it clear that dropped infra
+configuration is a blocking concern, not a style preference.
+
+### 4. No ground-truth for infrastructure files
+
+The reviewer only sees the diff. It has no way to compare against the running
+container's actual volume/env config. When dev-qwen rewrote a 30-line service
+block from scratch, the reviewer saw a 30-line addition and a 30-line deletion
+with no reference point.
+
+**Recommendation (future work)**: Maintain a `docker/expected-compose-config.yml`
+or have the reviewer fetch `docker compose config` output as ground truth when
+reviewing compose changes. This would let the reviewer diff the proposed config
+against the known-good config.
+
+### 5. Structural analysis blind spot
+
+`lib/build-graph.py` tracks changes to files in `formulas/`, agent directories
+(`dev/`, `review/`, etc.), and `evidence/`. It does **not track infrastructure
+files** (`docker-compose.yml`, `docker/`, `.woodpecker/`). Changes to these
+files produce no alerts in the graph report — the reviewer gets no
+"affected objectives" signal for infrastructure changes.
+
+**Recommendation (future work)**: Add infrastructure file tracking to
+`build-graph.py` so that compose/Dockerfile/CI changes surface in the
+structural analysis.
+
+### 6. Model and time budget
+
+Reviews use Sonnet (`CLAUDE_MODEL="sonnet"` at `review-pr.sh:229`) with a
+15-minute timeout. The PR #683 review completed in ~1 minute. Sonnet is
+optimized for speed, which is appropriate for most code reviews, but
+infrastructure changes benefit from the deeper reasoning of a more capable
+model.
+
+**Recommendation (future work)**: Consider escalating to a more capable model
+when the diff includes infrastructure files (compose, Dockerfiles, CI configs).
+
+## Changes made
+
+1. **`formulas/review-pr.toml`** — Added two new review steps:
+   - **Step 3c: Infrastructure file review** — When the diff touches
+     `docker-compose.yml`, `Dockerfile*`, `.woodpecker/`, or `docker/`,
+     requires checking for dropped volumes, bind mounts, env vars, restart
+     policy, security options, and network config. Instructs the reviewer to
+     read the full file (not just the diff) and compare against the base branch.
+   - **Step 3d: Scope discipline** — Requires comparing the actual diff
+     footprint against the stated issue scope. Flags out-of-scope rewrites of
+     infrastructure files as blocking concerns.
+
+## What would have caught this
+
+With the changes above, the reviewer would have:
+
+1. Seen step 3c trigger for `docker-compose.yml` changes
+2. Read the full compose file and compared against the base branch
+3. Noticed the dropped named volumes, bind mounts, env vars, restart policy
+4. Seen step 3d flag that a 3-env-var issue produced a 50+ line compose rewrite
+5. Issued REQUEST_CHANGES citing specific dropped configuration

+# Updating the Disinto Factory
+
+How to update the disinto factory code on a deployment box (e.g. harb-dev-box)
+after a new version lands on the upstream Forgejo.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- SSH access to the deployment box
+- The upstream remote (`devbox`) pointing to the disinto-dev-box Forgejo
+
+## Step 1: Pull the latest code
+
+```bash
+cd ~/disinto
+git fetch devbox main
+git log --oneline devbox/main -5   # review what changed
+git stash                           # save any local fixes
+git merge devbox/main
+```
+
+## Note: docker-compose.yml is generator-only
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` file is now generated exclusively by `bin/disinto init`.
+The tracked file has been removed. If you have a local `docker-compose.yml` from
+before this change, it is now "yours" and won't be touched by future updates.
+To pick up generator improvements, delete the existing file and run `bin/disinto init`.
+
+## Step 2: Preserve local config
+
+These files are not in git but are needed at runtime. Back them up before
+any compose regeneration:
+
+```bash
+cp .env .env.backup
+cp projects/harb.toml projects/harb.toml.backup
+cp docker-compose.override.yml docker-compose.override.yml.backup 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+## Step 3: Regenerate docker-compose.yml
+
+If `generate_compose()` changed or you need a fresh compose file:
+
+```bash
+rm docker-compose.yml
+source .env
+bin/disinto init https://codeberg.org/johba/harb --branch master --yes
+```
+
+This will regenerate the compose but may fail partway through (token collisions,
+existing users). The compose file is written early — check it exists even if
+init errors out.
+
+### Known post-regeneration fixes (until #429 lands)
+
+Most generator issues have been fixed. The following items no longer apply:
+
+- **AppArmor (#492)** — Fixed: all services now have `apparmor=unconfined`
+- **Forgejo image tag (#493)** — Fixed: generator uses `forgejo:11.0`
+- **Agent credential mounts (#495)** — Fixed: `.claude`, `.claude.json`, `.ssh`, and `project-repos` volumes are auto-generated
+- **Repo path (#494)** — Not applicable: `projects/*.toml` files are gitignored and preserved
+
+If you need to add custom volumes, edit the generated `docker-compose.yml` directly.
+It will not be overwritten by future `init` runs (the generator skips existing files).
+
+## Step 4: Rebuild and restart
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild agents image (code is baked in via COPY)
+docker compose build agents
+
+# Restart all disinto services
+docker compose up -d
+
+# If edge fails to build (caddy:alpine has no apt-get), skip it:
+docker compose up -d forgejo woodpecker woodpecker-agent agents staging
+```
+
+## Step 5: Verify
+
+```bash
+# All containers running?
+docker ps --format 'table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}' | grep disinto
+
+# Forgejo responding?
+curl -sf -o /dev/null -w 'HTTP %{http_code}' http://localhost:3000/
+
+# Claude auth works?
+docker exec -u agent disinto-agents bash -c 'claude -p "say ok" 2>&1'
+
+# Agent polling loop running?
+docker exec disinto-agents pgrep -f entrypoint.sh
+# If no process: check that entrypoint.sh is the container CMD and projects TOML is mounted.
+
+# Agent repo cloned?
+docker exec disinto-agents ls /home/agent/repos/harb/.git && echo ok
+# If missing:
+docker exec disinto-agents chown -R agent:agent /home/agent/repos
+source .env
+docker exec -u agent disinto-agents bash -c \
+  "git clone http://dev-bot:${FORGE_TOKEN}@forgejo:3000/johba/harb.git /home/agent/repos/harb"
+
+# Git safe.directory (needed after volume recreation)
+docker exec -u agent disinto-agents git config --global --add safe.directory /home/agent/repos/harb
+```
+
+## Step 6: Verify harb stack coexistence
+
+```bash
+# Harb stack still running?
+cd ~/harb && docker compose ps --format 'table {{.Name}}\t{{.Status}}'
+
+# No port conflicts?
+# Forgejo: 3000, Woodpecker: 8000, harb caddy: 8081, umami: 3001
+ss -tlnp | grep -E '3000|3001|8000|8081'
+```
+
+## Step 7: Docker disk hygiene
+
+The reproduce image is ~1.3GB. Dangling images accumulate fast.
+
+```bash
+# Check disk
+df -h /
+
+# Prune dangling images (safe — only removes unused)
+docker image prune -f
+
+# Nuclear option (removes ALL unused images, volumes, networks):
+docker system prune -af
+# WARNING: this removes cached layers, requiring full rebuilds
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Forgejo at 170%+ CPU, not responding
+AppArmor issue. Add `security_opt: [apparmor=unconfined]` and recreate:
+```bash
+docker compose up -d forgejo
+```
+
+### "Not logged in" / OAuth expired
+Re-auth on the host:
+```bash
+claude auth login
+```
+Credentials are bind-mounted into containers automatically.
+Multiple containers sharing OAuth can cause frequent expiry — consider
+using `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in `.env` instead.
+
+### Agent loop not running after restart
+The entrypoint reads `projects/*.toml` to determine which agents to run.
+If the TOML isn't mounted or the disinto directory is read-only,
+the polling loop won't start agents. Check:
+```bash
+docker exec disinto-agents ls /home/agent/disinto/projects/harb.toml
+docker logs disinto-agents --tail 20  # look for "Entering polling loop"
+```
+
+### "fatal: not a git repository"
+After image rebuilds, the baked-in `/home/agent/disinto` has no `.git`.
+This breaks review-pr.sh (#408). Workaround:
+```bash
+docker exec -u agent disinto-agents git config --global --add safe.directory '*'
+```
+
+### Dev-agent stuck on closed issue
+The dev-poll latches onto in-progress issues. If the issue was closed
+externally, the agent skips it every cycle but never moves on. Check:
+```bash
+docker exec disinto-agents tail -5 /home/agent/data/logs/dev/dev-agent.log
+```
+Fix: clean the worktree and let it re-scan:
+```bash
+docker exec disinto-agents rm -rf /tmp/harb-worktree-*
+```

+- `Dockerfile` or `docker/*`
+- `.woodpecker/` CI configs
+- `docker/agents/entrypoint.sh`

+Infrastructure files have a different failure mode from application code:

+
+### For docker-compose.yml changes:

+3. Check that NONE of the following were dropped without explicit

+   - Bind mounts (especially for config, secrets, SSH keys, shared dirs)
+   - Environment variables (compare the full `environment:` block against
+     the base branch)
+   - `restart:` policy (should be `unless-stopped` for production services)
+   - `security_opt:` settings
+   - Network configuration
+   - Resource limits / deploy constraints

+   not explain why, **REQUEST_CHANGES**. List each dropped item explicitly.
+
+### For Dockerfile / entrypoint changes:

+1. Check that base image, installed packages, and runtime deps are preserved.
+2. Verify that entrypoint/CMD changes don't break the container startup.
+
+### For CI config changes:
+
+1. Check that pipeline steps aren't silently removed.
+2. Verify that secret references still match available secrets.
+
+## 3d. Scope discipline
+
+Compare the actual diff footprint against the stated issue scope:
+
+1. Read the PR title and description to identify what the issue asked for.
+2. Estimate the expected diff size (e.g., "add 3 env vars" = ~5-10 lines
+   in compose + ~5 lines in scripts).
+3. If the actual diff in ANY single file exceeds 3x the expected scope,

+For infrastructure files (compose, Dockerfiles, CI), scope violations are
+**blocking**: REQUEST_CHANGES and ask the author to split out-of-scope
+changes into a separate PR or justify them in the description.

+For non-infrastructure files, scope violations are advisory: leave a

+IMPORTANT: PR creation is handled by bash (architect-run.sh) during the pitch step.
+This step is for documentation only — the actual PR creation happens in research_pitch.
+
+## Approved PR → Initial design questions (issue #570)
+
+When a sprint pitch PR receives an APPROVED review but has no `## Design forks`
+section and no Q1:, Q2: comments yet, the architect enters a new state:
+
+1. detect_approved_pending_questions() identifies this state
+2. A fresh agent session starts with a special prompt
+3. The agent reads the approved pitch, posts initial design questions (Q1:, Q2:, etc.)
+4. The agent adds a `## Design forks` section to the PR body
+5. The PR transitions into the questions phase, where the existing Q&A loop takes over
+
+This ensures approved PRs don't sit indefinitely without design conversation.

+Architecture:
+- Bash creates PRs during stateless pitch generation (step 2)
+- Model has no role in PR creation — no Forgejo API access
+- architect-bot is READ-ONLY on the project repo (#764) — all project-repo
+  writes (sub-issue filing, in-progress label) are handled by filer-bot

 3. For each file, read the watermark from line 1:
      <!-- last-reviewed: <sha> -->
+   If no watermark exists, treat the file as fully stale (review everything).
 
 4. Check for changes since the watermark:
      git log --oneline <watermark>..HEAD -- <directory>
    If zero changes, the file is current — skip it.
 
-5. For stale files:
-   - Read the AGENTS.md and the source files in that directory
-   - Update the documentation to reflect code changes since the watermark
-   - Set the watermark to the HEAD SHA from the preflight step
-   - Conventions: architecture and WHY not implementation details
+5. For each stale file, run a STRUCTURAL DIFF — this is the core of the step:
 
-## Part B: Size limit enforcement (progressive disclosure split)
+   a. FILE INVENTORY: list files at watermark vs HEAD for this directory:
+        git ls-tree -r --name-only <watermark> -- <directory>
+        git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- <directory>
+      Diff the two lists. Categorize:
+        - NEW files: in HEAD but not in watermark
+        - DELETED files: in watermark but not in HEAD
+        - Check AGENTS.md layout section: does it list each current file?
+          Files present in the directory but absent from the layout = GAPS.
+          Files listed in the layout but missing from the directory = LIES.
 
-After all updates are done, count lines in the root AGENTS.md:
+   b. REFERENCE VALIDATION: extract every file path, function name, and
+      shell variable referenced in the AGENTS.md. For each:
+        - File paths: verify the file exists (ls or git ls-tree HEAD)
+        - Function names: grep for the definition in the codebase
+        - Script names: verify they exist where claimed
+      Any reference that fails validation is a LIE — flag it for correction.
+
+   c. SEMANTIC CHANGES: for files that existed at both watermark and HEAD,
+      check if they changed meaningfully:
+        git diff <watermark>..HEAD -- <directory>/*.sh <directory>/*.py <directory>/*.toml
+      Look for: new exported functions, removed functions, renamed files,
+      changed CLI flags, new environment variables, new configuration.
+      Ignore: internal refactors, comment changes, formatting.
+
+6. For each stale file, apply corrections:
+   - Add NEW files to the layout section
+   - Remove DELETED files from the layout section
+   - Fix every LIE found in reference validation
+   - Add notes about significant SEMANTIC CHANGES
+   - Set the watermark to HEAD_SHA
+   - Conventions: document architecture and WHY, not implementation details
+
+## Part B: Size limit enforcement
+
+After all updates, count lines in the root AGENTS.md:
      wc -l < "$PROJECT_REPO_ROOT/AGENTS.md"
 
-If the root AGENTS.md exceeds 200 lines, perform a progressive disclosure
-split. The principle: agent reads the map, drills into detail only when
-needed. You wouldn't dump a 500-page wiki on a new hire's first morning.
+If it exceeds 200 lines, split verbose sections into per-directory files
+using progressive disclosure:
 
-6. Identify per-directory sections to extract. Each agent section under
-   "## Agents" (e.g. "### Dev (`dev/`)", "### Review (`review/`)") and
-   each helper section (e.g. "### Shared helpers (`lib/`)") is a candidate.
-   Also extract verbose subsections like "## Issue lifecycle and label
-   conventions" and "## Phase-Signaling Protocol" into docs/ or the
-   relevant directory.
+7. Identify sections that can be extracted to per-directory files.
+   Keep the root AGENTS.md as a table of contents — brief overview,
+   directory layout, summary tables with links to detail files.
 
-7. For each section to extract, create a `{dir}/AGENTS.md` file with:
+8. For each extracted section, create a `{dir}/AGENTS.md` with:
    - Line 1: watermark <!-- last-reviewed: <HEAD_SHA> -->
-   - The full section content (role, trigger, key files, env vars, lifecycle)
-   - Keep the same markdown structure and detail level
+   - The full section content, preserving structure and detail
 
-   Example for dev/:
-   ```
-   <!-- last-reviewed: abc123 -->
-   # Dev Agent
+9. Replace extracted sections in root with concise summaries + links.
 
-   **Role**: Implement issues autonomously ...
-   **Trigger**: dev-poll.sh runs every 10 min ...
-   **Key files**: ...
-   **Environment variables consumed**: ...
-   **Lifecycle**: ...
-   ```
-
-8. Replace extracted sections in the root AGENTS.md with a concise
-   directory map table. The root file keeps ONLY:
-   - Watermark (line 1)
-   - ## What this repo is (brief overview)
-   - ## Directory layout (existing tree)
-   - ## Tech stack
-   - ## Coding conventions
-   - ## How to lint and test
-   - ## Agents — replaced with a summary table pointing to per-dir files:
-
-     ## Agents
-
-     | Agent | Directory | Role | Guide |
-     |-------|-----------|------|-------|
-     | Dev | dev/ | Issue implementation | [dev/AGENTS.md](dev/AGENTS.md) |
-     | Review | review/ | PR review | [review/AGENTS.md](review/AGENTS.md) |
-     | Gardener | gardener/ | Backlog grooming | [gardener/AGENTS.md](gardener/AGENTS.md) |
-     | ... | ... | ... | ... |
-
-   - ## Shared helpers — replaced with a brief pointer:
-     "See [lib/AGENTS.md](lib/AGENTS.md) for the full helper reference."
-     Keep the summary table if it fits, or move it to lib/AGENTS.md.
-
-   - ## Issue lifecycle and label conventions — keep a brief summary
-     (labels table + dependency convention) or move verbose parts to
-     docs/PHASE-PROTOCOL.md
-
-   - ## Architecture Decisions — keep in root (humans write, agents enforce)
-
-   - ## Phase-Signaling Protocol — keep a brief summary with pointer:
-     "See [docs/PHASE-PROTOCOL.md](docs/PHASE-PROTOCOL.md) for the full spec."
-
-9. Verify the root AGENTS.md is now under 200 lines:
-     LINE_COUNT=$(wc -l < "$PROJECT_REPO_ROOT/AGENTS.md")
-     if [ "$LINE_COUNT" -gt 200 ]; then
-       echo "WARNING: root AGENTS.md still $LINE_COUNT lines after split"
-     fi
-   If still over 200, trim further — move more detail into per-directory
-   files. The root should read like a table of contents, not an encyclopedia.
-
-10. Each new per-directory AGENTS.md must have a watermark on line 1.
-    The gardener maintains freshness for ALL AGENTS.md files — root and
-    per-directory — using the same watermark mechanism from Part A.
+10. Verify root is under 200 lines. If still over, extract more.
 
 ## Staging

-    All git writes happen in the commit-and-pr step at the end:
+11. Stage all AGENTS.md files created or changed:

-12. If no AGENTS.md files need updating AND root is under 200 lines,
-    skip this step entirely.
+12. If no files need updating AND root is under 200 lines, skip entirely.

-# Gardener Prompt — Dust vs Ore
-
-> **Note:** This is human documentation. The actual LLM prompt is built
-> inline in `gardener-poll.sh` (with dynamic context injection). This file
-> documents the design rationale for reference.
-
-## Rule
-
-Don't promote trivial tech-debt individually. Each promotion costs a full
-factory cycle: CI + dev-agent + review + merge. Don't fill minecarts with
-dust — put ore inside.
-
-## What is dust?
-
-- Comment fix
-- Variable rename
-- Style-only change (whitespace, formatting)
-- Single-line edit
-- Trivial cleanup with no behavioral impact
-
-## What is ore?
-
-- Multi-file changes
-- Behavioral fixes
-- Architectural improvements
-- Security or correctness issues
-- Anything requiring design thought
-
-## LLM output format
-
-When a tech-debt issue is dust, the LLM outputs:
-
-```
-DUST: {"issue": NNN, "group": "<file-or-subsystem>", "title": "...", "reason": "..."}
-```
-
-The `group` field clusters related dust by file or subsystem (e.g.
-`"gardener"`, `"lib/env.sh"`, `"dev-poll"`).
-
-## Bundling
-
-The script collects dust items into `gardener/dust.jsonl`. When a group
-accumulates 3+ items, the script automatically:
-
-1. Creates one bundled backlog issue referencing all source issues
-2. Closes the individual source issues with a cross-reference comment
-3. Removes bundled items from the staging file
-
-This converts N trivial issues into 1 actionable issue, saving N-1 factory
-cycles.

This repo holds the agent's formula (copied from disinto at creation time) and its journal.\n\n### Structure\n```\n{agent-bot}/.profile/\n├── formula.toml        # snapshot of the formula at agent creation time\n├── journal/            # daily logs of what the agent did\n│   ├── 2026-03-26.md\n│   └── ...\n└── knowledge/          # learned patterns, best-practices (optional, agent can evolve)\n```\n\n### Lifecycle\n1. **Create agent** — `disinto init` or `disinto spawn-agent` creates Forgejo account + `.profile` repo\n2. **Copy formula** — current `formulas/{role}.toml` from disinto repo is copied to `.profile/formula.toml`\n3. **Agent reads its own formula** — at session start, agent reads from its `.profile`, not from the disinto repo\n4. **Agent writes journal** — daily entries pushed to `.profile/journal/`\n5. **Agent can evolve knowledge** — best-practices, heuristics, patterns written to `.profile/knowledge/`\n\n### What this enables\n\n**A/B testing formulas:** Create two agents from different formula versions, run both against the same backlog, compare results (cycle time, CI pass rate, review rejection rate).\n\n**Rollback:** New formula worse? Kill agent, spawn from older formula version.\n\n**Audit:** What formula was this agent running when it produced that PR? Check its `.profile` at that git commit.\n\n**Drift tracking:** Diff what an agent learned (`.profile/knowledge/`) vs what it started with. Measure formula evolution over time.\n\n**Portability:** Move agent to different box — `git clone` its `.profile`.\n\n### Disinto repo becomes the template\n\n```\ndisinto repo:\n  formulas/dev-agent.toml       ← canonical template, evolves\n  formulas/review-agent.toml\n  formulas/planner.toml\n  ...\n\nRunning agents:\n  dev-bot-v2/.profile/formula.toml   ← snapshot from formulas/dev-agent.toml@v2\n  dev-bot-v3/.profile/formula.toml   ← snapshot from formulas/dev-agent.toml@v3\n  review-bot/.profile/formula.toml   ← snapshot from formulas/review-agent.toml\n```\n\nThe formula in the disinto repo is the template. The `.profile` copy is the instance. They can diverge — that's a feature, not a bug.\n\n## Affected files\n- `bin/disinto` — agent creation copies formula to .profile\n- Agent session scripts — read formula from .profile instead of local formulas/ dir\n- Planner/supervisor — can read other agents' journals from their .profile repos\n\n## Related\n- #747 — per-agent Forgejo accounts (prerequisite)\n- #757 — ops repo (shared concerns stay there: vault, portfolio, resources)\n\n## Acceptance criteria\n- [ ] `disinto spawn-agent` (or `disinto init`) creates a Forgejo account + `.profile` repo for each agent bot\n- [ ] Current `formulas/{role}.toml` is copied to `.profile/formula.toml` at agent creation time\n- [ ] Agent session script reads its formula from `.profile/formula.toml`, not from the repo's `formulas/` directory\n- [ ] Agent writes daily journal entries to `.profile/journal/YYYY-MM-DD.md`"

Populated by `disinto secrets add`. **No runtime consumer today.** Only `disinto secrets show` ever decrypts these.\n2. `.env.vault.enc` — monolithic, sops/dotenv-encrypted. The only store actually loaded into containers (via `docker/edge/dispatcher.sh` → `sops -d --output-type dotenv`).\n\nTwo mental models, redundant subcommands (`edit-vault`, `show-vault`, `migrate-vault`), and today's `disinto secrets add` silently deposits secrets into a dead-letter directory. Operator runs the command, edge container still logs `CADDY_SSH_KEY not set, skipping` (docker/edge/entrypoint-edge.sh:207).\n\n## Proposed solution\n\nConsolidate on `secrets/<NAME>.enc` as THE store. One file per secret, granular, small surface.\n\n**1. Wire container dispatchers to load `secrets/*.enc` into env**\n\n- `docker/edge/dispatcher.sh` (and agent / ops dispatchers) decrypt declared secrets at startup and export them.\n- Granular per-secret — not a bulk dump.\n\n**2. Containers declare required secrets**\n\n- `secrets.required = [\"CADDY_SSH_KEY\", \"CADDY_SSH_HOST\", ...]` in the container's TOML, or equivalent in compose.\n- Missing required secret → **hard fail** with clear message. Replaces today's silent-skip branch at `entrypoint-edge.sh:207`.\n\n**3. Deprecate the monolithic vault**\n\n- Remove `.env.vault`, `.env.vault.enc`, and subcommands `edit-vault` / `show-vault` / `migrate-vault` from `bin/disinto`.\n- Remove sops round-trip from `docker/edge/dispatcher.sh` (lines 32-40 currently).\n\n**4. One-shot migration for existing operators**\n\n- `disinto secrets migrate-from-vault` splits an existing `.env.vault.enc` into `secrets/<KEY>.enc` files, verifies each, then removes the old vault on success.\n- Idempotent: safe to run multiple times.\n\n## Context\n\n- Parent: sprint PR `disinto-admin/disinto-ops#10`.\n- Depends on: #776 (`secrets add` must accept piped stdin before we can deprecate `edit-vault`) — now closed.\n- Rationale (operator quote): *\"containers should have option to load single secrets, granular. no 2 mental models, only 1 thing that works well and has small surface.\"*\n\n## Acceptance criteria\n\n- [ ] Edge container declares `secrets.required = [\"CADDY_SSH_KEY\", \"CADDY_SSH_HOST\", \"CADDY_SSH_USER\", \"CADDY_ACCESS_LOG\"]`; dispatcher exports them; `collect-engagement.sh` runs without additional env wiring\n- [ ] Container refuses to start when a required secret is missing (fail loudly, not skip silently)\n- [ ] `.env.vault*` files and all vault-specific subcommands removed from `bin/disinto` and all formulas / docs\n- [ ] `migrate-from-vault` converts an existing monolithic vault correctly (verified by round-trip test)\n- [ ] `disinto secrets` help text shows one store, four verbs: `add`, `show`, `remove`, `list`\n\n## Affected files\n\n- `bin/disinto` — remove `edit-vault`, `show-vault`, `migrate-vault` subcommands; add `migrate-from-vault`\n- `docker/edge/dispatcher.sh` — replace sops round-trip with per-secret age decryption (lines 32-40)\n- `docker/edge/entrypoint-edge.sh` — replace silent-skip at line 207 with hard fail on missing required secrets\n- `lib/vault.sh` — update or remove vault-env.sh wiring now that `.env.vault.enc` is deprecated\n"

+## CI Pipeline Issues (P2)
+
+When CI pipelines are stuck running >20min or pending >30min:
+
+### Investigation Steps
+1. Check pipeline status via Forgejo API:
+   ```bash
+   curl -sf -H "Authorization: token $FORGE_TOKEN" \
+     "$FORGE_API/pipelines?limit=50" | jq '.[] | {number, status, created}'
+   ```
+
+2. Check Woodpecker CI if configured:
+   ```bash
+   curl -sf -H "Authorization: Bearer $WOODPECKER_TOKEN" \
+     "$WOODPECKER_SERVER/api/repos/${WOODPECKER_REPO_ID}/pipelines?limit=10"
+   ```
+
+### Common Fixes
+- **Stuck pipeline**: Cancel via Forgejo API, retrigger
+- **Pending pipeline**: Check queue depth, scale CI runners
+- **Failed pipeline**: Review logs, fix failing test/step
+
+### Prevention
+- Set timeout limits on CI pipelines
+- Monitor runner capacity and scale as needed
+- Use caching for dependencies to reduce build time

+### Dead Lock File
+```bash
+# Check if process still exists
+ps -p $(cat /path/to/lock.file) 2>/dev/null || rm -f /path/to/lock.file
+```
+
+### Stale Worktree Cleanup
+```bash
+cd "$PROJECT_REPO_ROOT"
+git worktree remove --force /tmp/stale-worktree 2>/dev/null || true
+git worktree prune 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+### Blocked Pipeline
+- Check if PR is awaiting review or CI
+- Verify no other agent is actively working on same issue
+- Check for unmet dependencies (issues with `Depends on` refs)
+
+### Prevention
+- Concurrency bounded per LLM backend (AD-002)
+- Clear lock files in EXIT traps
+- Use phase files to track agent state

+## Disk Pressure Response (P1)
+
+When disk usage exceeds 80%, take these actions in order:
+
+### Immediate Actions
+1. **Docker cleanup** (safe, low impact):
+   ```bash
+   sudo docker system prune -f
+   ```
+
+2. **Aggressive Docker cleanup** (if still >80%):
+   ```bash
+   sudo docker system prune -a -f
+   ```
+   This removes unused images in addition to containers/volumes.
+
+3. **Log rotation**:
+   ```bash
+   for f in "$FACTORY_ROOT"/{dev,review,supervisor,gardener,planner,predictor}/*.log; do
+     [ -f "$f" ] && [ "$(du -k "$f" | cut -f1)" -gt 10240 ] && truncate -s 0 "$f"
+   done
+   ```
+
+### Prevention
+- Monitor disk with alerts at 70% (warning) and 80% (critical)
+- Set up automatic log rotation for agent logs
+- Clean up old Docker images regularly
+- Consider using separate partitions for `/var/lib/docker`
+
+### When to Escalate
+- Disk stays >80% after cleanup (indicates legitimate growth)
+- No unused Docker images to clean
+- Critical data filling disk (check /home, /var/log)

+- Monitor rate limit headers in API responses
+- Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses
+- Use agent-specific tokens (#747) to increase limits

-| `lib/guard.sh` | `check_active(agent_name)` — reads `$FACTORY_ROOT/state/.{agent_name}-active`; exits 0 (skip) if the file is absent. Factory is off by default — state files must be created to enable each agent. **Logs a message to stderr** when skipping (`[check_active] SKIP: state file not found`), so agent dropout is visible in cron logs. Sourced by dev-poll.sh, review-poll.sh, action-poll.sh, predictor-run.sh, supervisor-run.sh. | cron entry points |
-| `lib/mirrors.sh` | `mirror_push()` — pushes `$PRIMARY_BRANCH` + tags to all configured mirror remotes (fire-and-forget background pushes). Reads `MIRROR_NAMES` and `MIRROR_*` vars exported by `load-project.sh` from the `[mirrors]` TOML section. Failures are logged but never block the pipeline. Sourced by dev-poll.sh and dev/phase-handler.sh — called after every successful merge. | dev-poll.sh, phase-handler.sh |
+| `lib/ci-log-reader.py` | Python tool: reads CI logs from Woodpecker SQLite database. `<pipeline_number> [--step <name>]` — returns last 200 lines from failed steps (or specified step). Used by `ci_get_logs()` in ci-helpers.sh. Requires `WOODPECKER_DATA_DIR` (default: /woodpecker-data). | ci-helpers.sh |
+| `lib/load-project.sh` | Parses a `projects/*.toml` file into env vars (`PROJECT_NAME`, `FORGE_REPO`, `WOODPECKER_REPO_ID`, monitoring toggles, mirror config, etc.). Also exports `FORGE_REPO_OWNER` (the owner component of `FORGE_REPO`, e.g. `disinto-admin` from `disinto-admin/disinto`). Reads `repo_root` and `ops_repo_root` from the TOML for host-CLI callers. **Container path handling (#674)**: no longer derives `PROJECT_REPO_ROOT` or `OPS_REPO_ROOT` inside the script — container entrypoints export the correct paths before agent scripts source `env.sh`, and the `DISINTO_CONTAINER` guard (line 90) skips TOML overrides when those vars are already set. | env.sh (when `PROJECT_TOML` is set) |
+| `lib/parse-deps.sh` | Extracts dependency issue numbers from an issue body (stdin → stdout, one number per line). Matches `## Dependencies` / `## Depends on` / `## Blocked by` sections and inline `depends on #N` / `blocked by #N` patterns. Inline scan skips fenced code blocks to prevent false positives from code examples in issue bodies. Not sourced — executed via `bash lib/parse-deps.sh`. | dev-poll |

Memory guard is provided by `memory_guard()` in `lib/env.sh` (not duplicated here). `resolve_agent_identity()` — sets `FORGE_TOKEN`, `AGENT_IDENTITY`, `FORGE_REMOTE` from per-agent token env vars and FORGE_URL remote detection. `build_graph_section()` generates the structural-analysis section (runs `lib/build-graph.py`, formats JSON output) — previously duplicated in planner-run.sh and predictor-run.sh, now shared here. `cleanup_stale_crashed_worktrees()` — thin wrapper around `worktree_cleanup_stale()` from `lib/worktree.sh` (kept for backwards compatibility). **Journal digestion guards (#702)**: `_profile_digest_journals()` respects `PROFILE_DIGEST_TIMEOUT` (default 300s) and `PROFILE_DIGEST_MAX_BATCH` (default 5 journals per run); `_profile_restore_lessons()` restores the previous lessons-learned.md on digest failure. | planner-run.sh, predictor-run.sh, gardener-run.sh, supervisor-run.sh, dev-agent.sh |
+| `lib/guard.sh` | `check_active(agent_name)` — reads `$FACTORY_ROOT/state/.{agent_name}-active`; exits 0 (skip) if the file is absent. Factory is off by default — state files must be created to enable each agent. **Logs a message to stderr** when skipping (`[check_active] SKIP: state file not found`), so agent dropout is visible in loop logs. Sourced by dev-poll.sh, review-poll.sh, predictor-run.sh, supervisor-run.sh. | polling-loop entry points |
+| `lib/mirrors.sh` | `mirror_push()` — pushes `$PRIMARY_BRANCH` + tags to all configured mirror remotes (fire-and-forget background pushes). Reads `MIRROR_NAMES` and `MIRROR_*` vars exported by `load-project.sh` from the `[mirrors]` TOML section. Failures are logged but never block the pipeline. Sourced by dev-poll.sh — called after every successful merge. | dev-poll.sh |
 | `lib/build-graph.py` | Python tool: parses VISION.md, prerequisites.md (from ops repo), AGENTS.md, formulas/*.toml, evidence/ (from ops repo), and forge issues/labels into a NetworkX DiGraph. Runs structural analyses (orphaned objectives, stale prerequisites, thin evidence, circular deps) and outputs a JSON report. Used by `review-pr.sh` (per-PR changed-file analysis) and `predictor-run.sh` (full-project analysis) to provide structural context to Claude. | review-pr.sh, predictor-run.sh |
-| `lib/secret-scan.sh` | `scan_for_secrets()` — detects potential secrets (API keys, bearer tokens, private keys, URLs with embedded credentials) in text; returns 1 if secrets found. `redact_secrets()` — replaces detected secret patterns with `[REDACTED]`. | file-action-issue.sh, phase-handler.sh |
-| `lib/file-action-issue.sh` | `file_action_issue()` — dedup check, secret scan, label lookup, and issue creation for formula-driven cron wrappers. Sets `FILED_ISSUE_NUM` on success. Returns 4 if secrets detected in body. | (available for future use) |
+| `lib/secret-scan.sh` | `scan_for_secrets()` — detects potential secrets (API keys, bearer tokens, private keys, URLs with embedded credentials) in text; returns 1 if secrets found. `redact_secrets()` — replaces detected secret patterns with `[REDACTED]`. | issue-lifecycle.sh |
+| `lib/stack-lock.sh` | File-based lock protocol for singleton project stack access. `stack_lock_acquire(holder, project)` — polls until free, breaks stale heartbeats (>10 min old), claims lock. `stack_lock_release(project)` — deletes lock file. `stack_lock_check(project)` — inspect current lock state. `stack_lock_heartbeat(project)` — update heartbeat timestamp (callers must call every 2 min while holding). Lock files at `~/data/locks/<project>-stack.lock`. | docker/edge/dispatcher.sh, reproduce formula |
 | `lib/tea-helpers.sh` | `tea_file_issue(title, body, labels...)` — create issue via tea CLI with secret scanning; sets `FILED_ISSUE_NUM`. `tea_relabel(issue_num, labels...)` — replace labels using tea's `edit` subcommand (not `label`). `tea_comment(issue_num, body)` — add comment with secret scanning. `tea_close(issue_num)` — close issue. All use `TEA_LOGIN` and `FORGE_REPO` from env.sh. Labels by name (no ID lookup). Tea binary download verified via sha256 checksum. Sourced by env.sh when `tea` binary is available. | env.sh (conditional) |
-| `lib/agent-session.sh` | Shared tmux + Claude session helpers: `create_agent_session()`, `inject_formula()`, `agent_wait_for_claude_ready()`, `agent_inject_into_session()`, `agent_kill_session()`, `monitor_phase_loop()`, `read_phase()`, `write_compact_context()`. `create_agent_session(session, workdir, [phase_file])` optionally installs a PostToolUse hook (matcher `Bash\|Write`) that detects phase file writes in real-time — when Claude writes to the phase file, the hook writes a marker so `monitor_phase_loop` reacts on the next poll instead of waiting for mtime changes. Also installs a StopFailure hook (matcher `rate_limit\|server_error\|authentication_failed\|billing_error`) that writes `PHASE:failed` with an `api_error` reason to the phase file and touches the phase-changed marker, so the orchestrator discovers API errors within one poll cycle instead of waiting for idle timeout. Also installs a SessionStart hook (matcher `compact`) that re-injects phase protocol instructions after context compaction — callers write the context file via `write_compact_context(phase_file, content)`, and the hook (`on-compact-reinject.sh`) outputs the file content to stdout so Claude retains critical instructions. When `phase_file` is set, passes it to the idle stop hook (`on-idle-stop.sh`) so the hook can **nudge Claude** (up to 2 times) if Claude returns to the prompt without writing to the phase file — the hook injects a tmux reminder asking Claude to signal PHASE:done or PHASE:awaiting_ci. The PreToolUse guard hook (`on-pretooluse-guard.sh`) receives the session name as a third argument — formula agents (`gardener-*`, `planner-*`, `predictor-*`, `supervisor-*`) are identified this way and allowed to access `FACTORY_ROOT` from worktrees (they need env.sh, AGENTS.md, formulas/, lib/). **OAuth flock**: when `DISINTO_CONTAINER=1`, Claude CLI is wrapped in `flock -w 300 ~/.claude/session.lock` to queue concurrent token refresh attempts and prevent rotation races across agents sharing the same credentials. `monitor_phase_loop` sets `_MONITOR_LOOP_EXIT` to one of: `done`, `idle_timeout`, `idle_prompt` (Claude returned to `>` for 3 consecutive polls without writing any phase — callback invoked with `PHASE:failed`, session already dead), `crashed`, or `PHASE:escalate` / other `PHASE:*` string. **Unified escalation**: `PHASE:escalate` is the signal that a session needs human input (renamed from `PHASE:needs_human`). **Callers must handle `idle_prompt`** in both their callback and their post-loop exit handler — see [`docs/PHASE-PROTOCOL.md` idle_prompt](docs/PHASE-PROTOCOL.md#idle_prompt-exit-reason) for the full contract. | dev-agent.sh, action-agent.sh |
+| `lib/worktree.sh` | Reusable git worktree management: `worktree_create(path, branch, [base_ref])` — create worktree, checkout base, fetch submodules. `worktree_recover(path, branch, [remote])` — detect existing worktree, reuse if on correct branch (sets `_WORKTREE_REUSED`), otherwise clean and recreate. `worktree_cleanup(path)` — `git worktree remove --force`, clear Claude Code project cache (`~/.claude/projects/` matching path). `worktree_cleanup_stale([max_age_hours])` — scan `/tmp` for orphaned worktrees older than threshold, skip preserved and active tmux worktrees, prune. `worktree_preserve(path, reason)` — mark worktree as preserved for debugging (writes `.worktree-preserved` marker, skipped by stale cleanup). | dev-agent.sh, supervisor-run.sh, planner-run.sh, predictor-run.sh, gardener-run.sh |
+| `lib/pr-lifecycle.sh` | Reusable PR lifecycle library: `pr_create()`, `pr_find_by_branch()`, `pr_poll_ci()`, `pr_poll_review()`, `pr_merge()`, `pr_is_merged()`, `pr_walk_to_merge()`, `build_phase_protocol_prompt()`. Requires `lib/ci-helpers.sh`. | dev-agent.sh (future) |
+| `lib/issue-lifecycle.sh` | Reusable issue lifecycle library: `issue_claim()` (add in-progress, remove backlog), `issue_release()` (remove in-progress, add backlog), `issue_block()` (post diagnostic comment with secret redaction, add blocked label), `issue_close()`, `issue_check_deps()` (parse deps, check transitive closure; sets `_ISSUE_BLOCKED_BY`, `_ISSUE_SUGGESTION`), `issue_suggest_next()` (find next unblocked backlog issue; sets `_ISSUE_NEXT`), `issue_post_refusal()` (structured refusal comment with dedup). Label IDs cached in globals on first lookup. Sources `lib/secret-scan.sh`. | dev-agent.sh (future) |
+| `lib/action-vault.sh` | **Vault PR helper** — create vault action PRs on ops repo via Forgejo API (works from containers without SSH). `vault_request <action_id> <toml_content>` validates TOML (using `validate_vault_action` from `action-vault/vault-env.sh`), creates branch `vault/<action-id>`, writes `vault/actions/<action-id>.toml`, creates PR targeting `main` with title `vault: <action-id>` and body from context field, returns PR number. Idempotent: if PR exists, returns existing number. **Low-tier bypass**: if the action's `blast_radius` classifies as `low` (via `action-vault/classify.sh`), `vault_request` calls `_vault_commit_direct()` which commits directly to ops `main` using `FORGE_ADMIN_TOKEN` — no PR, no approval wait. Returns `0` (not a PR number) for direct commits. Requires `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FORGE_ADMIN_TOKEN` (low-tier only), `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_REPO`, `FORGE_OPS_REPO`. Uses the calling agent's own token (saves/restores `FORGE_TOKEN` around sourcing `vault-env.sh`), so approval workflow respects individual agent identities. | dev-agent (vault actions), future vault dispatcher |
+| `lib/branch-protection.sh` | Branch protection helpers for Forgejo repos. `setup_vault_branch_protection()` — configures admin-only merge protection on main (require 1 approval, restrict merge to admin role, block direct pushes). `setup_profile_branch_protection()` — same protection for `.profile` repos. `verify_branch_protection()` — checks protection is correctly configured. `remove_branch_protection()` — removes protection (cleanup/testing). Handles race condition after initial push: retries with backoff if Forgejo hasn't processed the branch yet. Requires `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_OPS_REPO`. | bin/disinto (hire-an-agent) |
+| `lib/agent-sdk.sh` | `agent_run([--resume SESSION_ID] [--worktree DIR] PROMPT)` — one-shot `claude -p` invocation with session persistence. Saves session ID to `SID_FILE`, reads it back on resume. `agent_recover_session()` — restore previous session ID from `SID_FILE` on startup. **Nudge guard**: skips nudge injection if the worktree is clean and no push is expected, preventing spurious re-invocations. Callers must define `SID_FILE`, `LOGFILE`, and `log()` before sourcing. **Concurrency**: external `flock` on `session.lock` is gated behind `CLAUDE_EXTERNAL_LOCK=1` (default off). When unset, each container's per-session `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` isolation lets Claude Code's native lockfile handle OAuth refresh — no external serialization needed. Set `CLAUDE_EXTERNAL_LOCK=1` to re-enable the old flock wrapper as a rollback mechanism. See [`docs/CLAUDE-AUTH-CONCURRENCY.md`](../docs/CLAUDE-AUTH-CONCURRENCY.md) and AD-002 (#647). | formula-driven agents (dev-agent, planner-run, predictor-run, gardener-run) |
+| `lib/forge-setup.sh` | `setup_forge()` — Forgejo instance provisioning: creates admin user, bot accounts, org, repos (code + ops), configures webhooks, sets repo topics. Extracted from `bin/disinto`. Requires `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FACTORY_ROOT`. **Password storage (#361)**: after creating each bot account, stores its password in `.env` as `FORGE_<BOT>_PASS` (e.g. `FORGE_PASS`, `FORGE_REVIEW_PASS`, etc.) for use by `forge-push.sh`. | bin/disinto (init) |
+| `lib/forge-push.sh` | `push_to_forge()` — pushes a local clone to the Forgejo remote and verifies the push. `_assert_forge_push_globals()` validates required env vars before use. Requires `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_PASS`, `FACTORY_ROOT`, `PRIMARY_BRANCH`. **Auth**: uses `FORGE_PASS` (bot password) for git HTTP push — Forgejo 11.x rejects API tokens for `git push` (#361). | bin/disinto (init) |
+| `lib/git-creds.sh` | Shared git credential helper configuration. `configure_git_creds([HOME_DIR] [RUN_AS_CMD])` — writes a static credential helper script and configures git globally to use password-based HTTP auth (Forgejo 11.x rejects API tokens for `git push`, #361). **Retry on cold boot (#741)**: resolves bot username from `FORGE_TOKEN` with 5 retries (exponential backoff 1-5s); fails loudly and returns 1 if Forgejo is unreachable — never falls back to a wrong hardcoded default (exports `BOT_USER` on success). `repair_baked_cred_urls([--as RUN_AS_CMD] DIR ...)` — rewrites any git remote URLs that have credentials baked in to use clean URLs instead; uses `safe.directory` bypass for root-owned repos (#671). Requires `FORGE_PASS`, `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`. | entrypoints (agents, edge) |
+| `lib/ops-setup.sh` | `setup_ops_repo()` — creates ops repo on Forgejo if it doesn't exist, configures bot collaborators, clones/initializes ops repo locally, seeds directory structure (vault, knowledge, evidence, sprints). Evidence subdirectories seeded: engagement/, red-team/, holdout/, evolution/, user-test/. Also seeds sprints/ for architect output. Exports `_ACTUAL_OPS_SLUG`. `migrate_ops_repo(ops_root, [primary_branch])` — idempotent migration helper that seeds missing directories and .gitkeep files on existing ops repos (pre-#407 deployments). | bin/disinto (init) |
+| `lib/ci-setup.sh` | `_install_cron_impl()` — installs crontab entries for bare-metal deployments (compose mode uses polling loop instead). `_create_forgejo_oauth_app()` — generic helper to create an OAuth2 app on Forgejo (shared by Woodpecker and chat). `_create_woodpecker_oauth_impl()` — creates Woodpecker OAuth2 app (thin wrapper). `_create_chat_oauth_impl()` — creates disinto-chat OAuth2 app, writes `CHAT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`/`CHAT_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` to `.env` (#708). `_generate_woodpecker_token_impl()` — auto-generates WOODPECKER_TOKEN via OAuth2 flow. `_activate_woodpecker_repo_impl()` — activates repo in Woodpecker. All gated by `_load_ci_context()` which validates required env vars. | bin/disinto (init) |
+| `lib/generators.sh` | Template generation for `disinto init`: `generate_compose()` — docker-compose.yml (uses `codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:11.0` tag; adds `security_opt: [apparmor:unconfined]` to all services for rootless container compatibility; Forgejo includes a healthcheck so dependent services use `condition: service_healthy` — fixes cold-start races, #665; adds `chat` service block with isolated `chat-config` named volume and `CHAT_HISTORY_DIR` bind-mount for per-user NDJSON history persistence (#710); injects `FORWARD_AUTH_SECRET` for Caddy↔chat defense-in-depth auth (#709); cost-cap env vars `CHAT_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_HOUR`, `CHAT_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_DAY`, `CHAT_MAX_TOKENS_PER_DAY` (#711); subdomain fallback comment for `EDGE_TUNNEL_FQDN_*` vars (#713); all `depends_on` now use `condition: service_healthy/started` instead of bare service names; all services now include `restart: unless-stopped` including the edge service — #768; agents service now uses `image: ghcr.io/disinto/agents:${DISINTO_IMAGE_TAG:-latest}` instead of `build:` (#429); `WOODPECKER_PLUGINS_PRIVILEGED` env var added to woodpecker service (#779); agents-llama conditional block gated on `ENABLE_LLAMA_AGENT=1` (#769); agents service gains volume mounts for `./projects`, `./.env`, `./state`), `generate_caddyfile()` — Caddyfile (routes: `/forge/*` → forgejo:3000, `/woodpecker/*` → woodpecker:8000, `/staging/*` → staging:80; `/chat/login` and `/chat/oauth/callback` bypass `forward_auth` so unauthenticated users can reach the OAuth flow; `/chat/*` gated by `forward_auth` on `chat:8080/chat/auth/verify` which stamps `X-Forwarded-User` (#709); root `/` redirects to `/forge/`), `generate_staging_index()` — staging index, `generate_deploy_pipelines()` — Woodpecker deployment pipeline configs. Requires `FACTORY_ROOT`, `PROJECT_NAME`, `PRIMARY_BRANCH`. | bin/disinto (init) |
+| `lib/sprint-filer.sh` | Post-merge sub-issue filer for sprint PRs. Invoked by the `.woodpecker/ops-filer.yml` pipeline after a sprint PR merges to ops repo `main`. Parses `<!-- filer:begin --> ... <!-- filer:end -->` blocks from sprint PR bodies to extract sub-issue definitions, creates them on the project repo using `FORGE_FILER_TOKEN` (narrow-scope `filer-bot` identity with `issues:write` only), adds `in-progress` label to the parent vision issue, and handles vision lifecycle closure when all sub-issues are closed. Uses `filer_api_all()` for paginated fetches. Idempotent: uses `<!-- decomposed-from: #<vision>, sprint: <slug>, id: <id> -->` markers to skip already-filed issues. Requires `FORGE_FILER_TOKEN`, `FORGE_API`, `FORGE_API_BASE`, `FORGE_OPS_REPO`. | `.woodpecker/ops-filer.yml` (CI pipeline on ops repo) |
+| `lib/hire-agent.sh` | `disinto_hire_an_agent()` — user creation, `.profile` repo setup, formula copying, branch protection, and state marker creation for hiring a new agent. Requires `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FACTORY_ROOT`, `PROJECT_NAME`. Extracted from `bin/disinto`. | bin/disinto (hire) |
+| `lib/release.sh` | `disinto_release()` — vault TOML creation, branch setup on ops repo, PR creation, and auto-merge request for a versioned release. `_assert_release_globals()` validates required env vars. Requires `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FORGE_OPS_REPO`, `FACTORY_ROOT`, `PRIMARY_BRANCH`. Extracted from `bin/disinto`. | bin/disinto (release) |
