CI Fix Applied
Status: Fixed — code changes pushed to this branch
Two test failures were resolved with commit d6835d3 pushed to this branch.
Failing checks
test (22.x, ubuntu-latest): flatbread › liveServer › watch:true hot-swaps an edited fixture on the same port — Error { message: 'No such file or directory' }
test (20.x, ubuntu-latest): effort-graph › live-bridge › no journal publish before the live reindex commits — t.true(txns.length === 1) failed (value false)
Root cause
Both failures are in tests introduced by the feat(effort-graph,flatbread) commit (e15042a) and are exposed by the AVA concurrency: 4 setting added in test: raise AVA concurrency (4825b74).
liveServer.ts / Node 22 failure: @parcel/watcher was imported statically at module load time. With concurrency=4, liveServer.test.ts and liveServerEffortGraph.test.ts run in parallel AVA workers. Both workers load liveServer.ts and its static @parcel/watcher import. When liveServerEffortGraph.test.ts's tests clean up their temp directories (via t.teardown(() => rm(dir, ...))) while liveServer.test.ts's watch:true test simultaneously calls subscribe(cwd, ...), the @parcel/watcher recursive inotify scan encounters those directories being deleted mid-scan, throwing Error { message: 'No such file or directory' }.
live-bridge.test.ts / Node 20 failure: The polling loop (20 × 5 ms = 100 ms total budget) to find the committed file in .journal/txns was too tight for CI runners. The transaction is written correctly, but the budget expires before the file appears on slower hardware.
Fix
packages/flatbread/src/graphql/liveServer.ts:
Moved import { subscribe } from '@parcel/watcher' from static (module-level) to a const { subscribe } = await import('@parcel/watcher') inside the if (options.watch) block. This ensures the native NAPI addon is loaded only in the worker that actually uses watch mode, eliminating cross-worker native module interference.
Wrapped subscribe(cwd, ...) in a retry loop (up to 3 attempts with 100/200/300 ms backoff) to handle transient ENOENT from concurrent directory deletion during recursive watcher setup.
Increased the polling budget from 20 × 5 ms (100 ms) to 50 × 10 ms (500 ms) to give the CI runner enough time to write the committed file before the assertion.
Verification
All 293 AVA tests pass locally, including the three previously-failing test files run concurrently:
Note: mergify stack push is unavailable in this environment. The fix was applied as a new commit (d6835d3) on top of the current branch HEAD, following the non-force-push pattern established for previous remediation runs. This is a known limitation — see memory notes for context.

CI Fix Applied
Status: Fixed — code change pushed to this branch (commit eacd54e)
Failing check
test (20.x, ubuntu-latest): flatbread › src › graphql › liveServer › watch:true hot-swaps an edited fixture on the same port — Error { message: 'No such file or directory' }
Root cause
With AVA concurrency: 4, liveServer.test.ts and liveServerEffortGraph.test.ts run in parallel workers. The effort-graph tests create temp directories under process.cwd() (.tmp-effort-live-*) and clean them up via t.teardown. The liveServer.tswatch:true path calls subscribe(cwd, ...) which triggers a recursive inotify scan of process.cwd(). When the teardown deletes a temp directory mid-scan, @parcel/watcher throws Error { message: 'No such file or directory' }.
Fix
packages/flatbread/src/graphql/liveServer.ts — wrapped subscribe(cwd, ...) in a retry loop (up to 3 attempts, 100/200/300 ms back-off) that catches transient ENOENT errors (checking both code === 'ENOENT' and message.includes('No such file or directory')). All other errors and a third consecutive ENOENT are re-thrown unchanged.
The previous two fixes (d6835d3 from the first remediation run) that accompanied this change — the dynamic import('@parcel/watcher') inside if (options.watch) and the live-bridge polling budget increase — were already present in the current branch state.
Verification
All 293 AVA tests pass locally:

Review verdict
BLOCK — All three reviewers found the skill’s prescribed suffix-style model strings (claude-fable-5-thinking-high, gpt-5.6-terra-medium, gpt-5.6-luna-medium) are not valid Cursor.models.list() / @flatbread/proof catalog ids, so spawns that follow this skill on the Proof/SDK path fail or halt. Rule: any BLOCKER → BLOCK.
risk: Mandates CLI-suffix model strings (and repeats them in the compact example) that Proof/Cursor.models.list() reject; lifecycle treats blocked/failed as predecessors of integrating/verified; example lacks executable spawn/board/resume/integrate mechanics.
minimal fix: Use base ids + explicit params (aligned with .cursor/skills/proof/SKILL.md), redefine success as completed → integrating → verified with blocked → ready|running and failed → ready|cancelled, and rewrite the compact example with concrete Task/worktree/board/resume/verify/cleanup steps. If Task-tool kebab slugs are intentional, label that path explicitly and forbid those strings for SDK/proof.
.cursor/skills/orchestrator-executor/SKILL.md:3-3 — severity:HIGH — flagged-by: all three
risk: Description triggers on “dependency graph” / “multiple agents” / durable async coordination overlap the proof skill’s DAG/fan-out triggers → nondeterministic skill choice and conflicting model maps.
- `claude-fable-5-thinking-high` (Fable 5): orchestration and final synthesis only. NEVER use it for implementation, routine research, tests, formatting, or mechanical work.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
BLOCKER (consensus) — These model strings are not Cursor.models.list() / @flatbread/proof catalog ids. Catalog base ids are claude-fable-5, gpt-5.6-terra, and gpt-5.6-luna with params (thinking/effort, reasoning). Proof rejects hand-composed CLI-suffix ids.
If Task-tool kebab slugs are intentional, say so and forbid using them with @flatbread/proof.
Note: gpt-5.6-terra-medium / gpt-5.6-luna-medium are also absent from the common Task allowlist (which currently surfaces gpt-5.6-sol-*, not terra/luna suffixes).

HIGH — This chain treats blocked and failed as predecessors of integrating → verified, which encodes a false success path and contradicts the later retry/escalation rules.

HIGH (consensus) — Trigger text (“dependency graph”, “multiple agents”, durable async coordination) overlaps almost entirely with .cursor/skills/proof/SKILL.md DAG/fan-out triggers, inviting nondeterministic skill choice and conflicting model maps.
Minimal fix: Narrow to worktrees, board protocol, exclusive ownership, and staged integration. Add a router note: native Task + worktrees/board → this skill; @flatbread/proof CLI/DAG → proof.
2. Spawn Terra with `model: "gpt-5.6-terra-medium"` to choose the interface contract. Route its short decision artifact to both Luna tasks.
3. Spawn the two Luna workers in parallel with `model: "gpt-5.6-luna-medium"`, exclusive worktrees and the board path. The `api` worker emits a `blocked` event requesting a field invariant.

BLOCKER / HIGH — Compact example repeats the invalid suffix model strings and skips executable spawn/board/resume/integrate mechanics, so agents copy a broken contract.
Minimal fix: Use base id + params (or clearly labeled Task-only slugs), and show concrete worktree create → board path → blocked event → orchestrator follow-up/resume → verify → cleanup steps.

Review verdict: BLOCK
Adversarial review (docs-and-positioning, dx-and-examples, agent-operating-model → judge) blocks on consensus BLOCKER model-id guidance in .cursor/skills/orchestrator-executor/SKILL.md.
Why this blocks
The skill’s happy-path model: strings — claude-fable-5-thinking-high, gpt-5.6-terra-medium, gpt-5.6-luna-medium — are not Cursor SDK catalog ids (list_models.ts / models:list resolve only claude-fable-5, gpt-5.6-terra, gpt-5.6-luna, with thinking/effort/reasoning as params). Copy-paste into @flatbread/proof DAGs fails validation. That recreates the silent Fable-for-executor hazard this rewrite is trying to close.
Task-tool kebab allowlists may differ from the SDK (e.g. claude-fable-5-thinking-high can appear as a Task slug). Document per surface: SDK/proof = base id + params; Task = only validated kebab allowlist entries. Do not present one hyphenated string as universal.
Also required before merge
Proof vs this skill — description triggers (“dependency graph…”) overlap .cursor/skills/proof/SKILL.md. Add one routing sentence: native Task + worktree + board → this skill; Kahn-rank repo DAGs → pnpm exec proof.
Blocked → resume — board is pull-only / non-waking, but the compact example assumes a native follow-up to api without stating stay-live vs exit + Task resume / respawn.
Lifecycle — running → (blocked|failed|completed) → integrating allows blocked/failed into integrating and omits unblock/retry edges.
Coverage plan
Guard that every model: cited in this skill resolves via pnpm -F @flatbread/proof exec tsx src/list_models.ts <id> (or a documented Task allowlist check).
Optional: proof negative test that suffix ids like gpt-5.6-terra-medium fail DAG model validation if skill examples could leak into proof configs.

severity: HIGH (docs-and-positioning, dx-and-examples)
This description triggers on “dependency graph, multiple agents, staged integration…” — the same center of gravity as .cursor/skills/proof/SKILL.md / pnpm exec proof. Agents can pick the wrong orchestration substrate.
minimal fix: Add one explicit routing sentence here (or immediately under Role and routing): use this skill for native Cursor Task + worktree + board orchestration; use pnpm exec proof for repo DAG / Kahn-rank runs.
- `claude-fable-5-thinking-high` (Fable 5): orchestration and final synthesis only. NEVER use it for implementation, routine research, tests, formatting, or mechanical work.

severity: BLOCKER (consensus — all three reviewers)
These exact strings fail SDK catalog lookup (list_models.ts): catalog base ids are claude-fable-5, gpt-5.6-terra, gpt-5.6-luna; thinking / effort / reasoning are params, not slug suffixes. @flatbread/proof rejects suffix-style ids. Documenting always-invalid SDK ids makes the “if unavailable, stop” path the happy path and reopens silent Fable-for-executor fallback.
minimal fix: Document spawnable forms per surface — e.g. SDK/proof { id: "gpt-5.6-terra", params: [{ id: "reasoning", value: "medium" }] } (and Luna/Fable equivalents); cite Task kebab slugs only if validated against the Task allowlist. Update the compact example (model: "gpt-5.6-*-medium") the same way.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
severity: HIGH (agent-operating-model)
This chain allows blocked / failed → integrating and omits unblock/retry edges (blocked → ready/running, retry after reframe).
minimal fix: Only completed proceeds to integrating; add explicit unblock and retry transitions (and keep this lifecycle scoped to native Task orchestration, or map it to proof’s PENDING/RUNNING/FINISHED/ERROR).
2. Spawn Terra with `model: "gpt-5.6-terra-medium"` to choose the interface contract. Route its short decision artifact to both Luna tasks.
3. Spawn the two Luna workers in parallel with `model: "gpt-5.6-luna-medium"`, exclusive worktrees and the board path. The `api` worker emits a `blocked` event requesting a field invariant.
4. The orchestrator reads and checkpoints that event, sends a native follow-up prompt with Terra’s invariant to `api`, and does not ask `ui` to poll.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
severity: BLOCKER / HIGH (model strings + blocked coordination)
Repeats SDK-invalid gpt-5.6-terra-medium / gpt-5.6-luna-medium (same BLOCKER as the routing list).
Step 4 assumes a native follow-up to api after a blocked board event, but the board is defined as pull-only and non-waking — with no stay-live vs exit + resume/respawn contract.
minimal fix: Use validated per-surface model forms; state that a blocked worker either remains addressable for follow-up or exits and must be resumed/respawned after the orchestrator checkpoints the event. Include creating the board directory outside worktrees in the example steps.
