PRs with custom branch names (fix/fitness-factory-address,
chore/seed-consolidation) were invisible to priority 1.5.
Now also extracts issue number from PR title (#NNN) as fallback.
Function was defined at line 867 but called at line 550. Bash requires
functions to be defined before invocation. Moved to top with other
helpers. Also removed duplicate definition.
Claude was silently skipping ambiguous issues instead of escalating.
Made output format mandatory and explicit: every issue in the list
must result in ACTION (promoted) or ESCALATE (needs decision).
1. PRIORITY 1.5 in dev-poll: scan ALL open PRs for REQUEST_CHANGES or CI
failure before picking new backlog issues. Stuck PRs get fixed first
to avoid complex rebases piling up.
2. STATE.md written in worktree before claude starts (included in first
commit, not a separate push that dismisses stale approvals).
3. Removed HTTP 405 from merge success check in dev-poll.sh (was fixed
in dev-agent.sh but not here — 2 occurrences).
codeberg_api is a bash function in the gardener script's own process,
not available to claude-p's tool execution environment. Claude was
silently failing to call it and returning CLEAN.
Switch to curl commands with $CODEBERG_TOKEN env var that claude-p
can actually execute via its bash tool.
Tech-debt→backlog promotion was only in prompt text, not in the
problem list. Claude focused on detected problems (dupes, thin issues)
and printed CLEAN, ignoring the primary mission.
Fix: explicitly list up to 10 tech-debt issues in the problem list
so claude sees them as actionable items.
Also bumped --max-turns from 10 to 30 — promoting issues requires
reading + editing + relabeling via API, needs more turns.
When PR has merge conflicts (mergeable=false), attempt git rebase
before merge. If rebase fails, abort and escalate via notify.
Flow: approval → check mergeable → rebase if needed → wait CI → merge
Resolves the serial seed PR bottleneck where append-only files
(manifest.jsonl) create trivial conflicts that block the pipeline.
Root cause: Two bugs combined to silently close PRs without merging.
1. HTTP 405 ('not allowed to merge') was in the success condition
alongside 200/204. Codeberg returns 405 when branch protection
blocks the merge (e.g., stale approvals).
2. append_state_log pushed a new commit AFTER review_bot approved,
but BEFORE the merge attempt. With dismiss_stale_approvals=true,
the new commit automatically dismissed the approval → 405.
Impact: 6 PRs (#683, #688, #692, #695, #696, #699) were 'merged'
(logged as success, branch deleted, issue closed) but never actually
merged into master. All work was lost.
Fixes:
- Remove 405 from merge success check
- Move STATE.md append out of pre-merge path
The merged-PR search was over-engineered and caused false negatives
(couldn't match PR to issue when title/body didn't contain #NNN).
Issue closed = dep satisfied. Factory only closes after merging.
Codeberg uses shared issue/PR numbering. When a PR IS the dep issue
(e.g. PR #665 fixes issue #665), the title search misses it.
Fallback checks if pulls/{dep_num} is merged.
Moved from dark-factory to harb. Dev-agent appends one line to
STATE.md on the PR branch right before merge — goes through
review like any other change.
After each successful PR merge, dev-agent appends one line to
STATE.md: - [date] what now exists (#PR)
Lives in dark-factory repo (harb master is protected).
Planner will collapse this into a compact snapshot later.
When dev-agent exhausts CI fix budget, writes escalation marker.
Supervisor picks it up next poll and invokes claude -p to diagnose
(flaky test? rate limit? real bug?) and decide: fix, close PR, or
escalate to human.
PR #649 sat blocked for hours — CI passed, review approved, but
merge conflict from other PRs landing. Supervisor said 'all clear'.
Now checks mergeable=false before CI state, alerts on conflict.
Factory supervisor reverted OptimizerV3.sol during an active evolution run,
killing all candidate scoring. Added evolution pipeline awareness to git
best-practices: check for running evolve.sh before reverting dirty state.
- Moved ci-debug.sh from dev/ to lib/ (shared utility)
- README: fixed supervisor description (all alerts go to claude)
- README: replaced implementation details with actual design principles
- PROMPT.md references best-practices/ files instead of inlining all knowledge
- best-practices/{memory,disk,ci,dev-agent,git}.md — loaded on demand by claude
- All alerts go to claude -p. Claude decides what to fix and what to escalate.
- update-prompt.sh targets specific best-practices files for self-learning
