openhands 149211c78d chore: gardener housekeeping 2026-03-23
- dev/AGENTS.md: document two-tier priority queue (priority+backlog first,
  then plain backlog); note do_merge() HTTP 405 already-merged detection
- gardener/AGENTS.md: document merge-through protocol (stay alive through
  CI/review/merge); note session kill on PHASE:escalate
- lib/AGENTS.md: add ensure_priority_label() to ci-helpers.sh entry;
  document optional CALLBACK param in run_formula_and_monitor()
- predictor/AGENTS.md: update watermark (content already current from v2 PR)
- Update watermarks for action, planner, review, supervisor, vault, root

Grooming actions:
- #574: added ## Affected files section (lib/parse-deps.sh) to meet quality gate
- #568: escalated — needs human decision on guard/merge architecture
- #466: escalated — dep #393 closed; needs decision on external vs in-repo example

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. It scans for open issues labeled action that have no active tmux session, then 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, 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 Matrix thread, exports MATRIX_THREAD_ID so Claude's output streams to the thread via a Stop hook (on-stop-matrix.sh).
  4. Agent creates tmux session action-{project}-{issue_num}, injects prompt (formula + prior comments + phase protocol).
  5. Agent enters monitor_phase_loop (shared with dev-agent via dev/phase-handler.sh).
  6. 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.
  7. 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).
  8. For human input: Claude sends a Matrix message and waits; the reply is injected into the session by matrix_listener.sh.

Environment variables consumed:

  • CODEBERG_TOKEN, CODEBERG_REPO, CODEBERG_API, PROJECT_NAME, CODEBERG_WEB
  • MATRIX_TOKEN, MATRIX_ROOM_ID, MATRIX_HOMESERVER — Matrix notifications + human input
  • 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
