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)

- Fix critical: use double quotes for $PHASE_FILE in formula phase signal
- Fix low: use limit=50 for backlog/in-progress/blocked issue counts
- Fix nit: correct misleading comment about escalation reply timing
