Issue: #3680

Acceptance Criteria

  • Add durable swarm.hold and swarm.interventions record fields; rewire freeze/resume/stop/reset off deaconIgnored
  • Add gated pan swarm dispatch with blocker-done enforcement
  • Add gated pan swarm merge with live-slot refusal
  • Extend pan swarm status with JSON, foreman, hold, and interventions; add pan swarm wait
  • Spawn or attach the foreman from pan swarm; pan start attaches on swarm-active issues
  • Add reclaim recovery with durable intervention accounting
  • Persist completion observations in the per-issue record
  • Reduce Deacon swarm work to janitor garbage collection, liveness, and event delivery
  • Respawn dead foremen with a three-failure freeze
  • Send stall events to the foreman without recovery blocks
  • Rebase automatic policy on foreman spawning, never slot spawning
  • Rewrite the work-role foreman protocol around gated commands
  • Add the sparse-polyrepo foreman integration scenario
  • Complete the documentation no-loss audit

Documentation no-loss audit

  • A — ownership and residency: Resolved. The persistent issue work agent is the foreman; slot agents are disposable executors.
  • B — eight-step loop and gates: Resolved. The docs cover inspect, dispatch, wait, verify, merge, advance, recover, and finish through explicit gates.
  • C — mode, autoAdvance, and holds: Resolved. Automatic policy may create a foreman but never dispatch slots; durable holds stop mutation.
  • D — completion signals and observations: Resolved. Durable completion markers and record-backed observations survive process restarts; live slots require explicit completion.
  • E — synthesis: Resolved. Obsolete synthesis behavior and six obsolete diagrams were removed.
  • F — recovery and governor ownership: Resolved. The foreman chooses recovery; the janitor only garbage-collects, checks liveness, and reports events under governor limits.
  • G — stale surfaces: Resolved. Stale runtime flags, diagrams, and PAN-970 guidance were removed or marked superseded.
  • H — operational contract: Resolved. CLI roles, record fields, foreman restart behavior, and tier rerouting are documented.

Verification

  • npm test: 13,747 root tests and 64 frontend tests passed
  • npm run typecheck
  • npm run lint
  • Isolated Node 22 dashboard boot and health check
  • Live dashboard restart with a 120-second health timeout

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a foreman-led swarm workflow with status, dispatch, wait, merge, and recovery commands.
    • Added gated slot operations, JSON output, durable holds, intervention limits, completion tracking, failed-merge handling, and slot reclamation.
    • Added foreman restoration, stall notifications, and resource-aware recovery.
    • Updated swarm starts to attach to or restore an existing foreman.
  • Documentation

    • Updated swarm guides, policies, quick references, and diagrams to reflect the new execution model and controls.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces Deacon-owned swarm orchestration with a resident foreman. It adds gated dispatch, merge, status, wait, and recovery commands, durable holds and observations, foreman liveness management, and updated swarm documentation and tests.

Changes

Foreman-driven swarm execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Foreman contracts and operating model
src/lib/agents/*, src/lib/pan-dir/record.ts, src/lib/swarm-policy.ts, docs/SWARM.md, sync-sources/skills/pan-swarm/SKILL.md
Agent state identifies foremen. Swarm records store holds, interventions, observations, and reclaimed items. Documentation defines the foreman workflow and policy behavior.
CLI foreman, gate, status, and recovery commands
src/cli/commands/swarm.ts, src/cli/commands/swarm-gates.ts, src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts, src/cli/commands/start.ts
The CLI starts or attaches to foremen and adds gated dispatch, merge, status, wait, hold, and recovery operations.
Deacon janitor, liveness, and durable observations
src/lib/cloister/deacon-swarm.ts, src/lib/cloister/deacon-swarm-record.ts, src/lib/cloister/swarm-foreman.ts, src/lib/cloister/swarm-foreman-liveness.ts, src/lib/cloister/deacon.ts, src/lib/cloister/service-reactive.ts
The Deacon performs cleanup, stall reporting, completion observation persistence, and foreman revival. Slot events notify the foreman instead of directly coordinating merges.
Foreman lifecycle and gate validation
tests/integration/swarm-foreman-polyrepo.test.ts, tests/unit/cli/commands/swarm*.test.ts, tests/unit/lib/cloister/*swarm*.test.ts
Tests cover foreman startup, gated execution, durable holds, intervention limits, polling, merge and reclaim behavior, janitor activity, and polyrepository workflows.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 054f0

The PR can clear swarm assignments despite failed branch cleanup and may reuse stale slot worktrees, allowing previous commits to contaminate later work or merges; recovery limits and completion notifications can also be consumed or suppressed incorrectly. Merge should be blocked until these correctness and delivery-state issues are fixed.

Blocking Findings

[correctness] Status ignores canonical item status overrides — src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts:107

deriveSwarmStatus reconciles the raw spec without reading or supplying the issue record's statusOverrides. A durably completed item can remain reported as in flight, running, or ready to merge, and pan swarm wait inherits the stale snapshot. Read and apply the canonical overrides before reconciliation, then cover a pending spec item with a completed durable override.

[correctness] Wait does not detect a slot disappearing during cleanup — src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts:210

diffSnapshots iterates only over the after-snapshot slots. If cleanup removes a slot, the command reports no transition and can wait until timeout. Diff the union of before and after slot indexes, represent removal with an absent after value, and add a fake-timer test for a removed observed slot.

[requirements] Operator copy assigns coordination to Deacon after ownership moved to the foreman — src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts:244

This in-PR-scope gap violates FR-8, FR-9, NFR-3, and NFR-7. Runtime patrols now retain janitor, liveness, classification, and event-delivery duties, but changed status, freeze, and resume text says Deacon coordinates, reconciles, merges, or dispatches the swarm (src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts:244, src/cli/commands/swarm.ts:327-330, src/cli/commands/swarm.ts:354-355). Rewrite the operator-facing contract around foreman-owned gated actions and add focused output assertions.

Non-blocking Findings

[performance] Full Git-backed slot classification runs on every wait poll — src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts:91

The one-second loop rebuilds a full snapshot and performs serial Git probes for each in-flight slot. Larger swarms can generate sustained subprocess load, while snapshot work extends the effective timeout. Consider a lightweight wait snapshot or cached, rate-limited classification, and measure timeout from a monotonic deadline.

Clean Sub-roles

  • Security found no vulnerabilities or advisories.

87-89: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a test for intervention accounting on a failed recovery.

writeSwarmIntervention is mocked to always return 1, and no test asserts how many times it is called when the recovery does nothing. swarmRecoverCommand increments the durable counter before it knows a recovery ran, so a no-op retry still consumes budget (see the comment on src/cli/commands/swarm.ts Lines 242-273). Add a case where getFailedMergeBlock returns undefined and coordinateSwarmSlots archives nothing, then assert writeSwarmIntervention is not called.

Reuse the canonical workspace-path resolver.

getIssueWorkspacePath in src/lib/pan-dir/record.ts Lines 261-265 performs this exact derivation, and src/cli/commands/swarm.ts already depends on it through requireSwarmWorkspace. Deriving the path again here creates a second source of truth for the same domain path.

Prevent foreman delivery from failing the event handler.

When the foreman session is unavailable, messageAgent can reject. Promise.all propagates the rejection, and service.ts records the event as failed. Add a local .catch because this notification is best effort.

Exercise the production isolation path.

inspectScopedDiff() is a test-local implementation. It does not invoke the production isolation or merge gate. The direct recordFailedMergeBlock() call also bypasses the behavior this scenario claims to validate.

Replace this helper assertion and direct record write with the production path. Assert that the primary-workspace edit causes the gate to reject the slot and persist the failed-merge block.

In `@src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts`:
- Around line 196-211: Update swarmWaitCommand so both the change-detected and
timeout output paths honor options.json: retain JSON output when true, and print
an appropriate human-readable line when false or unset. Keep the returned result
objects unchanged.
- Line 83: Update the classifyInFlightSlots dependency wrapper and its call site
to accept and forward issueId alongside workspacePath to classifyInFlightSlots,
preserving the options needed for durable completion detection and observation
clearing.

In `@src/cli/commands/swarm.ts`:
- Around line 242-273: Move the writeSwarmIntervention call until after a
recovery action has actually succeeded, ensuring no-op drop, handoff, reclaim,
or retry paths do not consume the counter; preserve the existing limit check and
use the recorded count only for completed recovery. In the recordedIntervention
=== null error, replace the hardcoded intervention 4 with interventionCount + 1,
and include workspacePath in the retry-no-op failure return.
- Around line 369-379: Update the operator messages in swarmStopCommand and
swarmResetCommand that claim the Deacon skips all coordination, aligning them
with the hold semantics and the wording used by swarmFreezeCommand and
swarmResumeCommand: clarify that foreman-owned gated actions are blocked while
Deacon janitor, liveness, and event-delivery backstops continue. Update tests in
swarm.test.ts to assert the new messages.

In `@src/lib/cloister/deacon-auto-resume.ts`:
- Around line 652-655: Update the foreman branch in handleAgentStoppedEvent so a
live foreman session first persists the agent row as running through the
canonical write path, before returning or attaching; ensure maintainSwarmForeman
and ensureSwarmForeman do not leave an existing live-session row in stopped
state.

In `@src/lib/cloister/deacon-swarm-completion.ts`:
- Around line 83-94: Update the completion-nudge handling around
sendCompletionNudge so current.nudged is set and the “nudged slot” action is
recorded only after a nudge is successfully delivered. Ensure the
production/default dependency configuration provides the delivery function, or
otherwise leave current.nudged false so later attempts remain possible; preserve
the existing completion observation persistence flow.

In `@src/lib/cloister/deacon-swarm.ts`:
- Around line 405-420: The workspace loop in swarmJanitorPass must isolate
failures per workspace: wrap each iteration’s spec lookup, reconciliation,
cleanup, and liveness operations in try/catch, log the affected issueId and
error, then continue processing subsequent workspaces instead of rejecting the
overall pass.
- Around line 407-415: Update swarmJanitorPass to read and apply per-issue
statusOverrides using readStatusOverrides and applyStatusOverrides, then use the
resulting effective document for reconcileSlotState, analyzeSwarmReadiness, and
maintainSwarmForeman. Add coverage verifying that an override-completed slot is
treated as completed rather than pending or in-flight.

In `@src/lib/cloister/deacon.ts`:
- Around line 2192-2196: Await the saveAgentRuntimeState call that records
resolution as completed, ensuring the promise settles before the surrounding
flow marks the slot done and preventing write failures from becoming unhandled.

In `@tests/unit/lib/cloister/deacon-swarm-completion.test.ts`:
- Around line 333-338: Update the restarted-dependencies test around
classifyInFlightSlots to assert that restartedDeps.sendCompletionNudge was not
called, while preserving the existing lifecycle and signal assertions.

Apply the same fix in `@tests/unit/lib/cloister/deacon-swarm-completion.test.ts`
at line 321.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

pan swarm wait --json has no effect; the command always prints JSON.

swarmWaitCommand accepts options.json but both exit paths call JSON.stringify unconditionally. The registered --json option in src/cli/commands/swarm.ts Line 783 therefore changes nothing, and an operator without --json still gets machine output. Either print a human line when json is false, or remove the option.

♻️ Proposed change
     const delta = diffSnapshots(before, after);
     if (delta.slots.length > 0 || delta.foreman || delta.holdChanged) {
-      deps.console.log(JSON.stringify({ issueId: issue, timedOut: false, delta }));
+      if (options.json) deps.console.log(JSON.stringify({ issueId: issue, timedOut: false, delta }));
+      else deps.console.log(printWaitDelta(issue, delta));
       return { ok: true, timedOut: false, delta };
     }

Note: tests/unit/cli/commands/swarm-wait.test.ts currently passes { timeout: 30 } without json and asserts only the return value, so this gap is untested.

Record the intervention only after a recovery action runs.

writeSwarmIntervention increments the durable counter at Line 257, before the command knows whether any recovery happens. Two paths then consume budget without doing work:

  • action is drop, handoff, or reclaim and no failed-merge block exists. Control falls to Line 282 and the command returns ok: false.
  • action is retry and coordinateSwarmSlots archives nothing. The retried check at Line 274 is false, and the command returns ok: false at Line 293.

Three such no-op invocations exhaust the automatic limit of 3 for that slot and failure class, and the operator must then pass --operator for the first real recovery attempt. Move the write after the branch that performs the recovery, or roll the counter back on the failure paths.

Two smaller points in the same block:

  • Line 266 hardcodes intervention 4. Interpolate interventionCount + 1 so the message stays truthful when the stored count is higher.
  • Line 293 returns without workspacePath, unlike every other failure return in this function.

Reconcile live foreman rows in the swarm janitor.

maintainSwarmForeman returns when the foreman session exists, and neither it nor ensureSwarmForeman updates the agent row. A stopped foreman row with a live tmux session therefore remains stopped after handleAgentStoppedEvent skips it. Persist the running state through the canonical write door before returning or attaching.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not persist an undelivered completion nudge.

sendCompletionNudge is optional, and the default coordinator dependencies do not provide it. This branch still sets current.nudged = true and emits a “nudged slot” action. The durable record then suppresses all later delivery attempts.

Provide the production delivery path, or leave nudged false until a delivery succeeds.

Apply statusOverrides before janitor reconciliation.

swarmJanitorPass passes spec.document directly to reconcileSlotState and analyzeSwarmReadiness. A durable completed override can therefore appear pending or in flight. The janitor can retain slot state or respawn a foreman for completed work.

Build the effective document with readStatusOverrides and applyStatusOverrides before reconciliation, readiness analysis, and foreman maintenance. Add coverage for an override-completed slot.

As per coding guidelines: “The canonical xBRIEF spec on overdeck-state is immutable after planning; item status lives in the project-side per-issue record's statusOverrides.”

Await the completed-resolution write.

saveAgentRuntimeState returns a promise. Without await, a write failure becomes unhandled and the slot can remain done. The next patrol can notify the foreman again.

Blocking Findings

[requirements] pan swarm still promises autonomous Deacon coordination — src/cli/commands/swarm.ts:203

This in-PR-scope gap violates FR-8, FR-9, NFR-3, and NFR-7. Runtime patrols correctly retain bounded janitor, liveness, classification, and event-delivery duties, but the changed policy-persistence comment and message say mode off would stop Deacon from coordinating the swarm (src/cli/commands/swarm.ts:193-205). Rewrite both to explain that mode off would prevent automatic foreman lifecycle management, and add an output assertion that rejects the old Deacon-coordinator wording.

Non-blocking Findings

[performance] Full Git-backed slot classification runs on every wait poll — src/cli/commands/swarm-status.ts:96

The one-second loop rebuilds a full snapshot and performs serial Git probes for each in-flight slot. Larger swarms can generate sustained subprocess load, while snapshot work extends the effective timeout. Consider a lightweight wait snapshot or cached, rate-limited classification, and measure timeout from a monotonic deadline.

Clean Sub-roles

  • Security found no vulnerabilities or advisories.
  • Correctness found the prior status-override and removed-slot failures fixed, with targeted regression tests passing.

Do not reuse a released slot index before branch and worktree cleanup.

releaseBlockedSwarmSlot clears the assignment but retains the pushed branch and worktree. Dispatch then excludes released resources from conflict checks, and ensureRegisteredSlotWorktree reuses the existing workspace and branch. A replacement merge can therefore include the previous item's unmerged commits.

Keep the slot occupied until garbage collection removes both resources, or create a new branch/worktree generation. Add a regression test for releasing a blocked slot with pushed commits, then dispatching another item.
