New agent: exec — message-driven executive assistant reachable via Matrix.
Unlike cron-driven agents, the exec activates on demand when the executive
sends a message, maintains persistent conversation context, and has a
distinct character defined in CHARACTER.md.
The CHARACTER.md defines the exec as an animal of light — born from data,
dedicated to bringing more light into the world. But it deliberately
refuses to define what light and darkness are, forcing deliberation
from first principles every time (cat questions | grep knowledge).
Components:
- exec-session.sh: spawn/reattach persistent Claude tmux session
- exec-inject.sh: message injection + response capture + Matrix posting
- exec-briefing.sh: optional daily morning briefing (cron)
- CHARACTER.md: personality and moral compass
- PROMPT.md: system prompt template reference
- MEMORY.md: persistent memory across sessions (seed)
Integration:
- Matrix listener: new exec dispatch case (spawn on demand)
- Root AGENTS.md: updated agent count (8→9), table, directory layout
- Graph analysis available on demand (not injected by default)
The sed watermark-update pattern stripped the closing --> from 9 of 10
AGENTS.md files, making entire file bodies invisible in rendered markdown.
Fix by appending --> to the affected lines.

- Remove existing TOML files from git tracking (git rm --cached)
- Add .toml.example templates with placeholder values
- Update BOOTSTRAP.md with new section on project TOML setup
- Update AGENTS.md directory layout description
Existing local installations are unaffected — gitignore only
prevents tracked files from being committed, local copies persist.

Add two-tier backlog pickup in dev-poll.sh:
1. in-progress issues (existing)
2. priority + backlog issues (FIFO within tier)
3. plain backlog issues (FIFO within tier)
The priority label coexists with backlog (not a replacement).
ensure_priority_label() auto-creates the label if missing.

- Update all AGENTS.md watermarks to current HEAD (251d160)
- dev/AGENTS.md: document dev-poll's early direct-merge scan (before lock
check) — approved PRs now merge without waiting for active dev sessions;
chore/gardener PRs merge without issue numbers in branch name
- planner/AGENTS.md: document dispatch-idle-formulas phase (step 4); note
that planner reads both factory and project-specific formulas; clarify
that all planner artifacts use $PROJECT_REPO_ROOT, not $FACTORY_ROOT

- Update AGENTS.md watermarks (all 10 files) to HEAD 038581e5

Progressive disclosure split of AGENTS.md (487→152 lines):
- Extracted per-directory AGENTS.md files for all 8 agents + lib/
- Root AGENTS.md now serves as a table of contents with summary table
- All watermarks updated to 16e430e
Grooming results:
- Promoted #469 (WATCH flow missing curl) and #436 (idle_pane_count bug) to backlog
- 12 dust items classified, no groups ripe for bundling yet
- No blocked issues, no AD violations
Remove the orphaned post-session dust accumulator from gardener-agent.sh
(no longer reached after #367 moved gardener-poll.sh to action issues).
Add a dedicated dust-bundling formula step to run-gardener.toml that
handles the full lifecycle: dedup, timestamps, 30-day TTL expiry, and
bundling groups with 3+ items into backlog issues.

- Restore executable bit on gardener/gardener-poll.sh (cron invokes it directly)
- Add _BLOCKED_POSTED guard to prevent duplicate diagnostic comments when
both _on_phase_change(PHASE:crashed) and the belt-and-suspenders exit
handler both call post_blocked_diagnostic()
- Update stale documentation:
- gardener-run.sh: remove "CI escalation recipes" from issue body
- AGENTS.md: update directory layout comment for gardener-poll.sh
- gardener-poll.sh: remove recipe engine description from header

Replace the unreliable escalation JSONL system (supervisor/escalations-*.jsonl
consumed by gardener) with direct blocked label + diagnostic comment on the
original issue.
When a dev-agent or action-agent session fails (PHASE:failed, idle timeout,
crash, CI exhausted):
- Capture last 50 lines from tmux pane via tmux capture-pane
- Post a structured diagnostic comment on the issue (exit reason, timestamp,
PR number, tmux output)
- Label the issue "blocked" (instead of restoring "backlog")
- Remove in-progress label
Removed:
- Escalation JSONL write paths in dev-agent.sh, phase-handler.sh, dev-poll.sh,
action-agent.sh
- is_escalated() helper in dev-poll.sh
- Escalation triage (P2f section) in supervisor-poll.sh
- Escalation processing + recipe engine in gardener-poll.sh
- ci-escalation-recipes step from run-gardener.toml formula
- escalations*.jsonl from .gitignore
Added:
- post_blocked_diagnostic() shared helper in phase-handler.sh
- ensure_blocked_label_id() helper (creates label via API if not exists)
- is_blocked() helper in dev-poll.sh (replaces is_escalated)
- Blocked issues listing in supervisor/preflight.sh
Kept:
- Matrix notifications on failure (unchanged)
- CI fix counter logic (still tracks attempts)
- needs_human injection in supervisor/gardener (not escalation-related)
- Gardener grooming (gardener-agent.sh still invoked)

Add ACTION_MAX_LIFETIME env var (default 8h) that caps total session
wall-clock time independently of ACTION_IDLE_TIMEOUT. A background
watchdog sleeps for the remaining lifetime and, when triggered, kills
the tmux session, posts a summary comment on the issue, writes
PHASE:failed with a max_lifetime reason, and escalates to the
supervisor.

Extract shared is_infra_step() in lib/ci-helpers.sh capturing the union of
infra-detection heuristics from both P2e and classify_pipeline_failure():
- Clone/git step exit 128 (connection failure)
- Any step exit 137 (OOM/signal 9)
- Log-pattern matching (timeouts, connection failures)
Update classify_pipeline_failure() to use is_infra_step() with log fetching
and "any infra step" aggregation (matching P2e semantics). Simplify P2e to
delegate to classify_pipeline_failure(). Update P2f caller for new output
format ("infra <reason>").

Fixes#388
## Changes
Action-agent now sources dev/phase-handler.sh and enters monitor_phase_loop after prompt injection. Two paths: (A) git output triggers the same PR/CI/review lifecycle as dev-agent, (B) no-git output writes PHASE:done for cleanup. Adds docker compose down on terminal phases, escalation to supervisor on idle timeout, and proper temp file cleanup.

- Rename planner-poll.sh → planner-run.sh: direct cron executor that
creates a tmux session with Claude (opus), injects the formula as
context, monitors phase file, handles crash recovery and cleanup.
No action issues, no action-poll dependency.
- Source disinto project config explicitly (projects/disinto.toml)
instead of defaulting to harb via env.sh.
- Update formulas/run-planner.toml (v2): remove agents-update step
(now handled by gardener per #246), add journal-and-memory step
(daily journal entries committed to git + local MEMORY.md update),
add commit-and-pr step (one commit, one PR per run).
- Create planner/journal/ directory for daily raw logs.
- Update crontab: weekly Sunday 6AM call to planner-run.sh.
- Update AGENTS.md to reflect new architecture.

- Add --recipes-only flag to gardener-poll.sh to skip grooming call when
invoked by the formula's ci-escalation-recipes step (prevents double-run)
- Update formula step to pass --recipes-only
- Add lib/file-action-issue.sh to AGENTS.md shared helpers table
- Clarify TOML arg scope in gardener trigger description
- Fix log prefixes in gardener-run.sh (poll: → run:)

Add gardener-run.sh as a thin cron wrapper that files an action issue
referencing formulas/run-gardener.toml, following the same pattern as
planner-poll.sh. The action-agent picks up the issue and executes the
gardener formula steps in an interactive Claude session.

- Rename <backlog_label_id> in WATCH path to <prediction_backlog_label_id>
to avoid collision with the plain backlog label in strategic-planning
- Add prediction/actioned relabeling before close for PROMOTE and DISMISS
paths so closed predictions are distinguishable from unprocessed ones
- Make step 4 comment format consistent with step 5: "Actioned as #NNN —
<reasoning>" everywhere
- Add step 3b for explicit label ID resolution with create-if-missing for
the new prediction/actioned label
- Document prediction/* and action labels in AGENTS.md label table

Expand the triage-predictions step in run-planner.toml with four explicit
triage actions (PROMOTE_ACTION, PROMOTE_BACKLOG, WATCH, DISMISS), each
with API execution details and mandatory reasoning comments. Promoted
predictions now close the original with "Actioned as #NNN" and compete
with vision gaps for the per-cycle 5-issue limit in strategic-planning.
