Refs #490 — deliberately not Closes. #490's third ask is the npm decision, which is Etan's and is now blocked account-side (npm is restricting token bypass of 2FA/security-key). A deferred ask is an open ask, so the issue stays open on that one point; the other three asks are done here.

The finding is bigger than the report

voiceClaude reported 6 failed publish runs. Verified from this seat:

Claim Reality
publish.yml failed 6 runs 105 runs, 105 failures — it has never once succeeded (back to v0.2.0, 2026-06-20)
the suite is green, CI is the problem ci.yml has been red on main and on every PR since 2026-08-15 13:21Z; last green main run was 2026-08-13T18:00Z
tests may lean on a live cmux No test needs a live cmux. The full suite passes with an empty HOME (so no socket path is even reachable) and every CMUX_* unset

Roughly two sprints of PRs merged against a gate that was red on GitHub the whole time. The stderr in the log (SurfaceEnumerationError, AgentDiscovery TypeErrors) is deliberate error-path noise, exactly as the reporter suspected — none of it is a cause.

Classification (the brief's a/b/c)

(b) Real bug the local environment was masking — scripts/release.sh is macOS-only.
sed -i '' is BSD-only. GNU sed reads the '' as the script and the expression as a filename, exits 2, and set -e takes the release down with it. Proven, not deduced — with GNU sed first on PATH:

before: Tests   9 failed | 22 passed (31)
after:  Tests  31 passed (31)

9 is exactly the release-receipts failure count in CI. Fixed with a sed_inplace helper (tmpfile + mv) that works on both seds.

(b) Ambient-state masking — the suite read the maintainer's seat registry.
send_to keeps repaired registry repo ownership… asserted agent_id: "brainClaude". That id is not derivable from the fixture; it comes from ~/.golems/config.yaml on one Mac (seatRegistry.brainClaude.repo: brainlayer). Everywhere else the repair yields brainlayerClaude. Three changes, so the class cannot recur:

  • CMUXLAYER_SEAT_REGISTRY_PATH override on defaultSeatRegistryPath(), symmetric with the existing CMUXLAYER_LAUNCHER_REGISTRY_PATH
  • tests/vitest.setup.ts pins it at a path that cannot exist — tests state their own registry or get none
  • the test carries its own registry fixture, so the assertion still means something

(c) CI-only artifact — publish.yml lacked the toolchain the suite spawns.
The suite spawns bun (tests/fleet-sidebar.test.ts) and release.sh shells out to bun run, but publish.yml set up node only. It also pinned node 20 against engines: ">=22.15". Added oven-sh/setup-bun@v2, moved to node 22, and added tests/workflow-toolchain.test.ts, which matches the job body — run: | with the invocation on the next line is the ordinary Actions idiom and an anchor on the run: line walks straight past it, as the reviewer demonstrated. It is a lint over the workflow files in this repo, not a guarantee about every possible job shape.

Nothing was quarantined and nothing was skipped (#370's lesson): there was no environment-dependent test to quarantine. The count the brief asked for is 0 tests require a live cmux, and 1 test in 3085 depended on ambient $HOME — now 0.

What the first CI run then found, which no local run could

I predicted green. CI came back red on tests/live-topology-restart.test.ts, and it was right to. That file compiles the whole project in a beforeAll so the daemon under test is the real build — under vitest's 10s hook default, which is ~3s of work on a warm Mac and well over 10s on a loaded runner. The budget, not the code, was what made the result depend on the machine. Budgets now match the work: 300s for the build hook, 30s for the release-script describes and the RAM-watchdog cases that spawn real bash.

The flake was not a flake

Chasing the remaining intermittent reds turned up something worth its own paragraph. 63 test files build fixtures at a fixed name under the temp dir (cmux-agents-test-engine, cmux-agents-test-registry, …) and rmSync that path in afterEach. Two suite runs on one machine — two worktrees, or a fleet worker testing beside you — share those directories and tear each other's down mid-test. Measured on tests/agent-engine.test.ts, run twice concurrently:

run A run B
before 91 failed (40 ENOTEMPTY) 103 failed (51 ENOTEMPTY)
after 0 failed 0 failed

That is the fleet's daily working condition. Every local green here has been part luck and every local red part noise — including the pre-push hook everyone treats as the merge gate, and it explains what @t1b-worker independently reported in the collab. A globalSetup now gives each run its own temp root and removes it at the end. Per run, not per worker: within a run vitest never executes one file twice at once, so the fixed names only collide across runs. The root sits under /tmp rather than macOS's /var/folders/…/T, which is half the length — several suites bind unix sockets inside a temp dir and those cap at ~104 bytes, so a deeper root breaks them. I know because my first attempt did exactly that and broke four socket suites.

P10: release receipts carry CI status

Small enough to implement, so it is here. release.sh reads CI's verdict for the commit being released, writes gates.ci into the receipt, and prints CI: <conclusion> in the done banner. An unusable gh — absent, unauthenticated, offline — records unknown, never success. --require-ci makes a non-green CI fatal, mirroring --require-contract. Four new tests cover success / failure / unknown / refusal.

npm — your call, not mine

gh secret list on this repo returns nothing: there are zero Actions secrets, so NPM_TOKEN does not exist. The earliest publish failures (e.g. 2026-06-29) are npm error code ENEEDAUTH with the suite passing — this workflow could never have published, before any test ever broke it. This PR makes its test step honest; it does not make it able to publish.

Option Consequence
Publish for real — add NPM_TOKEN, or configure npm trusted publishing, which the existing id-token: write + --provenance already anticipate cmuxlayer becomes installable from npm as well as the tap. First publish of a 0.4.x package that has never existed on the registry; the name is currently unclaimed, so squatting risk ends.
Remove publish.yml The Homebrew tap stays the only channel — which is what has actually shipped for 105 releases. Nothing user-visible changes, and one permanently-red workflow stops training everyone to ignore red.
Gate it — keep the workflow, guard on the secret (if: secrets.NPM_TOKEN != '') The workflow reads green-or-skipped instead of red, and turns real the moment a token is added. Costs a skipped job that says "not configured" rather than "broken".

My read, for what it is worth: option 3 if you intend to publish eventually, option 2 if you do not. But this is a distribution decision and it is yours.

PREDICTION

  • CI on this PR goes green. Held back a notch from my first prediction, which was wrong: CI found a hook-budget failure my machine could not reproduce, and that is the entire lesson of this lane. What I can say is that the local shape now matches CI's much more closely — clean checkout, npm install --no-package-lock, node 22, GNU sed, empty HOME, no CMUX_* — and gives 132 files / 3094 passed / 1 skipped, with the two timing classes CI actually tripped on now budgeted for a slow runner rather than a warm laptop.
  • publish.yml still fails on the next tag — at npm publish, not at npm test. It will get past typecheck/test/build and die on ENEEDAUTH until the npm decision above is made. Predicting it rather than letting it surprise you.
  • Least confident: the workflow-toolchain test splits jobs with a hand-rolled YAML scan, not a parser. It is correct for the three workflows here, but a job that runs the suite through a composite action or a reusable workflow would slip past it. I took that over adding a YAML dependency to a three-workflow repo.
  • Still open, deliberately not fixed here: the 63 fixed fixture names are isolated per run, not made unique in themselves. That is the right small change; renaming 63 files is a lane, not a hunk. If a future test ever runs the same file twice within one run, the collision returns.

Review round (#494 ITERATE → addressed)

Both blockers and all three should-fixes are closed at 9391bf3.

# Finding Status
1 Land a green CI run Done32290588061 on 528a28d: test, both launcher-parity legs, build-site all pass. First green CI in this repo since 2026-08-14
2 Closes #490Refs #490 Done — see the top of this body
3 Widen suiteJobs() past the run: line Done — matches the job body. Reproduced the reviewer's probe (bun-less, node 18, run: |): fails both assertions now, passed before
4 gates.ci names the commit it read Done — receipt carries gates.ci_commit, banner says "on <sha> — the commit this release was cut from". Moving the read after the bump was the alternative and is worse: CI has not run on that commit, so it would always read unknown
5 sed_inplace preserving file mode Done — writes back through the original file. Red-on-red: package.json at 0640 came out 0600 under the mv form

Two corrections from the review folded in above: the publish span is v0.2.0 / 2026-06-20, not v0.2.5 / 2026-06-25; and the pre-fix GNU-sed failure count is 14 across release-receipts + pre-pr-scripts — my "9" counted only release-receipts, which is what CI showed before this branch added the portability lint.

The reviewer also explained the anomaly I could not: the scripts/release.sh revert was their pre-fix copy written into this worktree during red-on-red, swept up by my concurrent git commit -a. Nothing reached origin. My report has been corrected — it is not an unexplained mutation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Release tooling can check continuous integration status and optionally block releases when checks fail.
    • Seat registry locations can be customized through an environment setting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved release script portability across operating systems.
    • Enhanced test isolation to prevent interference from local machine configuration.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for CI-aware releases, configurable seat registries, workflow toolchains, and release script portability.
    • Increased timeouts for longer-running integration and release tests.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches release automation and global test env (temp dirs, seat registry); behavior changes are mostly CI/test isolation, but a mistaken --require-ci or receipt/CI wiring could block or mislabel releases.

Overview
Fixes #490: the suite and publish workflow were effectively green only on one Mac while Linux CI and npm publish stayed broken.

Publish workflow bumps Node to 22, adds oven-sh/setup-bun@v2, and adds tests/workflow-toolchain.test.ts so jobs that run tests install bun and meet engines.node.

scripts/release.sh replaces BSD-only sed -i '' with portable sed_inplace, queries gh for ci.yml on the release commit (receipt fields gates.ci / gates.ci_commit, optional --require-ci), and surfaces CI in the done banner.

Test hermeticity: CMUXLAYER_SEAT_REGISTRY_PATH on defaultSeatRegistryPath(), global pin in vitest.setup.ts, per-run temp root via global-setup.ts and TMPDIR. Longer timeouts for compile-heavy and shell-spawn tests; fake-timer budget fix in server.test.ts.

Coverage adds CI/release receipt tests, seat-registry override tests, and a lint banning BSD sed -i '' in release scripts.

Note

Fix CI to run on Node 22 with Bun and isolate tests from host config

  • Updates the publish workflow from Node 20 to Node 22 and adds oven-sh/setup-bun so the test suite and release.sh have Bun available, matching the maintainer's local environment.
  • Adds a per-run temp root via tests/global-setup.ts and vitest.config.ts, and pins CMUXLAYER_SEAT_REGISTRY_PATH to a non-existent fixtures path in tests/vitest.setup.ts so tests no longer read the operator's ~/.golems/config.yaml.
  • Teaches scripts/release.sh a --require-ci flag that queries gh run list for the HEAD commit's CI conclusion and aborts on non-green status; adds a portable sed_inplace helper to avoid BSD/GNU sed -i discrepancies.
  • Increases timeouts in several test files (live-topology-restart, ram-watchdog-warn-only, server, release receipt suites) to reduce flakiness on slower machines.
  • Adds guard tests in tests/workflow-toolchain.test.ts and tests/pre-pr-scripts.test.ts to enforce Bun setup and ban BSD-only sed -i in release scripts.
  • Behavioral Change: defaultSeatRegistryPath in src/seat-identity.ts now honors CMUXLAYER_SEAT_REGISTRY_PATH; unset, it still defaults to ~/.golems/config.yaml. Release scripts now record gates.ci and gates.ci_commit in the receipt.

Macroscope summarized fc2976c.

CI (ci.yml) has been red on `main` and on every PR since 2026-08-15, and
publish.yml has failed all 105 runs it has ever had — cmuxlayer is not on npm.
None of it was about a missing cmux: the suite needs no live daemon. Three
independent ambient dependencies made it green on exactly one machine.

1. `scripts/release.sh` is macOS-only. `sed -i ''` is BSD-only; GNU sed reads
   the '' as the script and the expression as a filename, exits 2, and takes
   the release down with it. Proven locally: 9 failures under GNU sed, 31/31
   green after. That is a real portability bug in shipped code, not a test bug.

2. The seat registry (`~/.golems/config.yaml`) was read from the host during
   tests, so `send_to keeps repaired registry repo ownership` asserted
   `brainClaude` — a seat that exists only in the maintainer's fleet.
   `CMUXLAYER_SEAT_REGISTRY_PATH` now lets a caller state its own registry, the
   suite pins it at a path that cannot exist, and the test carries a fixture.

3. publish.yml ran the suite on setup-node alone, but the suite spawns `bun`
   and release.sh shells out to `bun run`. It also pinned node 20 against
   `engines: >=22.15`. Both fixed, with a test over the workflows so a job
   cannot run the suite without the toolchain the suite spawns.

Release receipts now carry CI's verdict on the released commit (`gates.ci`),
print it in the banner, and `--require-ci` makes a non-green CI fatal — a
release can no longer read as clean while its own workflow is failing.

Verified green under full CI shape: clean checkout, `npm install
--no-package-lock`, node 22, GNU sed, empty HOME (no ~/.golems, no launcher
registry, no reachable cmux socket), every CMUX_* unset — 3094 passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The publish workflow now uses Node.js 22 and Bun. Tests isolate temporary files and seat-registry configuration. Releases record CI status, support required-CI gating, and use portable sed updates.

The release script records CI conclusions, warns on failed or unavailable CI, and supports --require-ci gating. Package and Homebrew edits use portable temporary-file replacements. Tests cover CI outcomes, file modes, and BSD-only sed syntax.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fc297

The PR makes CI and release behavior more portable and reliable, but the publish workflow still runs a mutable third-party action and executable cache before npm authentication, creating a bounded release-integrity risk that should have explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Review — ITERATE

Reviewer for #490. Every historical claim below was re-derived from the source, not relayed. Every red-on-red was run, not trusted.

First, an incident I caused

While proving red-on-red I wrote main's pre-fix scripts/release.sh into .worktrees/ci-truth. The author's concurrent git commit -a (8e83c26) swept my scratch file in and reverted sed_inplace plus the entire --require-ci / gates.ci block. Nothing reached origin, and the author has already restored it in 4883955. My fault entirely; the rest of my verification ran from a detached copy of b309c80.

The claims — verified independently

# Claim My finding
1 105 runs, 105 failures, publish.yml never succeeded Confirmed. gh run list --workflow publish.yml --limit 200 → 105 runs, Counter({'failure': 105}). One correction: the span is v0.2.0 / 2026-06-20, not "v0.2.5, 2026-06-25" as the body says. Earliest runs (27874213671 v0.2.0, 27878027317 v0.2.1, 28158491703 v0.2.5) each die at npm error code ENEEDAUTH — it could never publish, before any test broke it.
2 ci.yml red on main since 2026-08-15, last green 08-13 Confirmed. Last green 0b719128 @ 2026-08-13T18:00:49Z; first red 56379108 @ 2026-08-15T13:21:49Z; 28 consecutive red main runs since. Plainly: 16 PRs merged against a red gate#418, #426, #428, #438, #439, #440, #441, #446, #448, #449, #451, #453, #454, #455, #466, #469 — plus 5 release commits.
3 Zero Actions secrets; NPM_TOKEN does not exist Confirmed. gh secret list and gh variable list both return empty.
4 0 tests need a live cmux; 1 in 3085 needed ambient $HOME Confirmed, and this is my own number. Suite run with HOME = an empty directory and all 27 ambient CMUX_* variables unset (so no socket path is even constructible), GNU sed 4.10 first on PATH, node 22: 132 files, 3094 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed; typecheck exit 0. Exactly one test was ambient-$HOME dependent, proven below.

The fix

5 — three root causes, three real fixes, no papering.

  • BSD sed: real and proven. Pre-fix release.sh + GNU sed 4.10 → 14 failures across release-receipts + pre-pr-scripts; PR head → 0.

  • Seat registry: real. The important question was whether the vitest.setup pin can silently hollow out some other test. It cannot: I ran the full suite with the pin removed on a machine that does have ~/.golems/config.yaml — only the new guard test changed state (1 failed | 3093 passed, otherwise identical). The pin's sole behavioral effect is the guard. defaultSeatRegistryPath(env) reads at call time and every other consumer already passes seatRegistry explicitly, so the fall-through surface really was one test.

  • Toolchain: real.

    Nit: sed_inplace does mktemp + mv, so the target inherits the tmpfile's 0600 and loses its original mode/ownership — a silent change from sed -i, which preserves them. Cosmetic for package.json and the Formula, but cat "$tmp" > "$file" && rm -f "$tmp" costs nothing.

6 — RED ON RED, all run here.

Mutation Result
oven-sh/setup-bun removed from publish.yml ✅ FAIL — "publish.yml:publish runs the suite without installing bun"
node-version: 2220 ✅ FAIL — "pins node 20 but engines require >=22.15"
vitest.setup pin removed ✅ FAIL — "never resolves the seat registry from the machine running the suite"
pre-fix server-agent-tools.test.ts + the pin ✅ FAIL — the brainClaude assertion, exactly as claimed
pre-fix release.sh + GNU sed ✅ 14 FAIL

7 — P10 unknown-never-success holds, tested against the real gh, four ways. Absent from PATH → empty → unknown. Unauthenticated (bogus GH_TOKEN, empty GH_CONFIG_DIR) → empty → unknown. Commit with no run → empty → unknown. Real run → failure. It never reads success. Two things to keep:

  • --commit requires the full sha; an abbreviated one returns empty, i.e. unknown. release.sh uses git rev-parse HEAD, so it is correct today — never loosen it.
  • The CI read happens before the version-bump commit. So gates.ci describes the commit the release was cut from, while the tag and artifact are the bump commit — but the banner says "on the released commit". In the one receipt whose entire purpose is that a release cannot look cleaner than it is, that wording should be exact. Reword, or move the read after the bump and accept an in-flight unknown.

8 — the predicted weakness is wider than predicted, and cheap to close. Composite and reusable workflows are the exotic case. The common one is a multiline run: |. I dropped a probe workflow into the tree with a bun-less, node 18 job running npm install / npm test under run: | — the suite stayed 3 passed. The filter needs the test invocation on the same physical line as run:, so the most ordinary Actions idiom walks straight past it. Not a merge blocker — the guard is correct for the three workflows that exist — but the body's "no job can run the suite without the toolchain the suite spawns" is not true as written. Matching the job body instead of the run: line (/\b(npm|bun) (run )?test\b/) closes composite, reusable, and run: | in one edit.

9 — Closes #490 is not earned. #490 asks four things. Asks 1, 2 and 4 are done. Ask 3 — "Decide npm's status … the workflow should be removed or gated rather than left permanently red" — is deliberately deferred to Etan, which is the right call and well presented. But a deferred ask is an open ask: make it Refs #490 and leave the issue open, or file the npm-decision follow-up and close #490 on that. Right now merging would close an issue whose loudest ask is untouched. Minimality is otherwise good — 274 insertions, 9 files, no new dependency.

10 — this PR's own acceptance evidence is red.

bun run test + bun run typecheck pass here (numbers in row 4). CI on the PR does not. Run 32287776341 on b309c80: build-site ✅, launcher-parity (absent) ✅, launcher-parity (present) ✅, test ❌ — tests/live-topology-restart.test.ts, Error: Hook timed out in 10000ms in the beforeAll that compiles the project.

That falsifies the PR's highest-confidence prediction, and it does so in the PR's own subject matter: a budget that holds on a warm Mac and not on a loaded runner is the same "green only on the maintainer's machine" this PR exists to end. Local 8e83c26 addresses it — but origin/wt/ci-truth is still b309c80 and there is no green run to point at.

Verdict: ITERATE

Blocking:

  1. Push, and land a green CI run. A PR whose thesis is "the gate lied" cannot merge on a red gate. Until fix(ci): the suite was green only on the maintainer's Mac (#490) #494 shows green, its central claim is unproven where it counts.
  2. Closes #490Refs #490, or open the npm-decision follow-up and close publish.yml has failed 6 consecutive runs and cmuxlayer was never published to npm — CI dies in the same suite that is green locally #490 on that.

Should-fix before merge, cheap:

  1. Widen the suiteJobs() filter to the job body — run: | is not exotic.
  2. Reword gates.ci / the banner to name the commit it actually read, or move the read.
  3. sed_inplace preserving file mode.

The investigation itself is excellent: three genuine root causes, each fixed at the cause, each with a test that I confirmed fails against the pre-fix code, nothing quarantined and nothing skipped. The npm decision is correctly Etan's and correctly presented. Fix the two blockers and this is a clear ACCEPT.

…eating each other

63 test files build fixtures at a FIXED name under the temp dir
(`cmux-agents-test-engine`, `cmux-agents-test-registry`, …) and rmSync that path
in afterEach. Two runs on one machine — two worktrees, or a fleet worker testing
beside the maintainer — share those directories and tear each other's down
mid-test. Measured on tests/agent-engine.test.ts, run twice concurrently:

  without: 91 failed / 103 failed  (40 and 51 ENOTEMPTY)
  with:     0 failed /   0 failed

That is not a small flake. Every local green in this fleet has been part luck,
and every local red part noise — including the pre-push gate everyone treats as
the merge criterion.

A globalSetup gives each RUN its own root and removes it at the end; the setup
file points TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP at it. Per run, not per worker: within a run vitest
never executes one file twice at once, so the fixed names only collide ACROSS
runs. The root lives under /tmp rather than macOS's `/var/folders/…/T`, which is
half the length — several suites bind unix sockets inside a temp dir and those
cap at ~104 bytes, so a deeper root breaks them (caught by doing exactly that).

…ation

CI failed tests/server.test.ts at `elapsed=3000, idleTurns=0`: the operation was
making progress every single turn and simply ran out of simulated time. The loop
used advanceMs — "how much simulated time this operation needs" — as its only
stop condition, so every turn that advanced the clock without the handler
progressing spent that budget too, and a loaded runner interleaves more of those
than a warm laptop. Same class as the 10s build hook: a green that depended on
which machine ran it.

advanceMs stays the expected need; the loop now allows a generous multiple.
idleTurns is what actually catches an operation that never progresses, and unlike
a simulated-time cap it does not vary with machine speed.

Three findings from the #494 review, each reproduced here before fixing.

1. `sed_inplace` mv'd the tmpfile over the target, handing it the tmpfile's 0600
   and owner — a mode change `sed -i` never makes. Writes back through the
   original file now. Red-on-red: package.json at 0640 came out 0600.

2. `gates.ci` said "the released commit" while the read happens BEFORE the
   version bump, so the verdict is about the commit the release was cut from,
   not the tag's. In the one file whose purpose is that a release cannot look
   cleaner than it is, that cannot be left to inference: the receipt now records
   `gates.ci_commit` and the banner names the sha and says what it is. Moving the
   read after the bump was the alternative and is worse — CI has not run on that
   commit yet, so it would always read `unknown`.

3. `suiteJobs()` anchored to the `run:` line, so `run: |` with the invocation on
   the next line — the ordinary Actions idiom, not an exotic one — walked past
   it. Matches the job body now. Red-on-red with the reviewer's own probe: a
   bun-less node-18 job under `run: |` fails both assertions.

Re-review from current head 9391bf3ACCEPT

Round-1 ITERATE is closed. Every historical claim in the body was re-derived from this seat, not relayed, and every new test was run against pre-fix code before I believed it.

1–3. The historical claims hold

Claim My verification
publish.yml has never succeeded gh run list --workflow publish.yml --limit 200106 runs, conclusion failure on all 106 (the 106th is chore: release v0.4.48, cut after the body was written). Oldest is 2026-06-20T14:35Z, so the v0.2.0 correction is right.
the early failures are auth, not tests Pulled --log-failed on the three oldest runs (27874213671, 27878027317, 27914329536): each dies at npm error code ENEEDAUTH … need auth, with no test failure above it. It could never have published, before any test broke it.
ci.yml red on main since 2026-08-15, last green 2026-08-13 Confirmed: last green 0b719128 (chore: release v0.4.36) at 2026-08-13T18:00:49Z; first red 56379108 (#421) at 2026-08-15T13:21:49Z. Since then 33 consecutive red runs on main — 23 code merges and 10 chore: release commits, zero green. That is the number worth staring at.
zero Actions secrets gh secret list → empty output, exit 0. NPM_TOKEN does not exist.

4. The ambient-$HOME count — my own number

Checked out the merge-base (269afbd, fully pre-fix), pointed HOME at an empty directory, unset every CMUX_*, ran the whole suite:

Test Files  1 failed | 130 passed (131)
     Tests  1 failed | 3083 passed | 1 skipped (3085)

The single failure is tests/server-agent-tools.test.ts:7549 — the brainClaude assertion. 1 in 3085, and 0 tests require a live cmux: the entire suite ran with no reachable socket path. Independently reproduced, exactly as claimed. The lead's earlier live-cmux hypothesis is disproven.

5. Are the three fixes the real fix?

BSD-vs-GNU sed — real, and measured. With GNU sed 4.10 first on PATH:

release-receipts + pre-pr-scripts
pre-fix (269afbd) 9 failed / 32 passed (41)
post-fix (9391bf3) 47 passed (47)

sed_inplace writes back through the original file rather than mv-ing, so it preserves mode — the round-1 finding, correctly closed. Nit, not a blocker: sed … >"$tmp" && cat … && rm -f "$tmp" leaks the mktemp file when sed exits non-zero. set -e kills the release anyway, so it is litter, not a bug; a trap would be tidier.

Seat registry — real, and the pin does not hollow anything out. This was the question I most wanted to answer, and the empty-HOME run above answers it directly: with no registry reachable at all, exactly one test in 3085 changed behaviour. That is the whole blast radius of the pin, and that one test now carries its own fixture, so its assertion still means what it meant. defaultSeatRegistryPath({}) is still asserted to return the real ~/.golems/config.yaml, so the default is not lost either. The pin cannot silently disable a test's meaning elsewhere, because nowhere else read it.

Toolchain — real. See red-on-red below.

6. RED ON RED — verified, not trusted

Against a clone at 9391bf3 with individual files reverted:

  • tests/workflow-toolchain.test.ts vs the pre-fix publish.yml (node 20, no bun): 2 of 3 failpublish.yml:publish runs the suite without installing bun, and pins node 20 but engines require >=22.15. Both assertions bite.
  • The widened suiteJobs(): I planted a synthetic job using the run: | / next-line idiom with node-version: 18. It is now caught on both assertions. The round-1 finding is genuinely closed, not papered over.
  • pre-pr-scripts.test.ts sed lint vs the pre-fix release.sh: fails, naming the file.

7. P10 — an unusable gh records unknown

Ran the exact command substitution from release.sh by hand, three ways:

Condition CI_CONCLUSION
gh absent (PATH=/usr/bin:/bin) unknown
commit with no matching run unknown
run present but conclusion null (in progress) unknowngh --jq prints empty, not the string null, so the -n guard catches it

That third one is the case I expected to find broken, since a release cut moments after a push is the realistic scenario. It is not broken. Nothing but a real success from a real run reads green. The invariant holds.

8. The composite/reusable-workflow gap — acceptable, not a blocker

Confirmed real: a planted job whose body is uses: ./.github/actions/run-suite is not seen by suiteJobs() and passes silently. I still would not block on it, for one reason the author did not claim — it("finds the jobs that run the suite") pins publish.yml:publish by name, so converting the existing job to a composite breaks the suite loudly. Only a brand-new composite job slips through. A YAML parser dependency in a three-workflow repo costs more than that residual. The limit is disclosed in the code comment, which is where it belongs.

9. Refs #490 — earned

ClosesRefs is done, #490 is open, and the npm decision is correctly Etan's. One loose thread: the 63 fixed fixture names are named as deliberately-deferred in the body but no follow-up issue captures them. Worth opening one so it survives this PR's scrollback — not a merge gate.

10. Acceptance evidence

  • Worktree .worktrees/ci-truth at 9391bf3, clean tree: bun run typecheck exit 0; bun run test132 files, 3095 passed, 1 skipped.
  • Same head under GNU sed + empty HOME + every CMUX_* unset — the closest local shape to CI: 132 files, 3095 passed, 1 skipped. The author's prediction about the local/CI shape converging is borne out.
  • CI on this PR's head is green. Run 32293409809 on 9391bf3: test, launcher-parity (absent), launcher-parity (present), build-site all SUCCESS. Not the 528a28d run cited in the body — the head commit itself.

Two observations for the record, neither blocking

  1. runWithFakeTimers widened to max(advanceMs * 10, 30_000) across ~20 call sites. This is a genuine loosening: no call site can now prove "settles within N simulated ms". I checked that nothing was traded away for it — no test was deleted, and none asserted the old stop condition; idleTurns still catches a handler that never progresses and is machine-independent, which is the property that actually mattered. Right call, but it is a real reduction in what those numbers assert and should not be forgotten.
  2. 136 stale /tmp/cmuxlayer-vitest-* directories exist on this Mac, all timestamped to the author's 2026-08-19 21:51 session. My own clean full run leaked zero (measured with a -newer marker), so this is not reproducible as a defect — most likely interrupted runs skipping teardown. Flagging it because a reader who sees them will wonder, and the answer is "not this code path".

The temp-root and CI-status work were both outside what #490 asked for and both earn their place — the fixture-collision measurement in particular explains a class of flake the fleet has been living with. Minimal where it counts, and the parts that grew are the parts that had evidence behind them.

ACCEPT.

Review findings on #478, both of which the suite could not see.

1. closureStateOf and hasPositiveDoneEvidence had zero callers after the #494
   merge moved closure onto main's effectiveState line (#488). Deleting them
   leaves the suite byte-identical -- they compiled only because tsconfig has
   no noUnusedLocals. The 20-line AIDEV-NOTE above closureStateOf still
   asserted "the one rule a response may use", so the next reader greping for
   the closure rule found an authoritative comment on unreachable code.
   Round 3's fix 1 was superseded by #488's doneEvidence gate in the merge.

2. Two both-sides-kept conflict artifacts from the main merge, invisible to
   `bun run typecheck` because tsconfig excludes tests/ (now #502):
   - coordination-paths: doneEvidence twice, same value, harmless.
   - f1-live-state-truth: task_done_detected_at twice with DIFFERENT values;
     the second silently won, so a merge decision was being made by JS object
     ordering. Kept the F1b round-3 value and the comment explaining why that
     worker EARNED its done, which is what the fixture is for.

Suite 138 files / 3194 passed / 1 skipped; typecheck exit 0; both TS1117s gone
under direct tsc.

…ord (#478)

* fix(f1b): wait_for and watch resolve from live state, not the raw record

F1 (#466) converted callers, delivery and closure to `resolveLiveAgentState`
and left the two paths a lead actually monitors with reading the registry
record raw.

#473 — `wait_for`'s terminal short-circuits read `registry.get()` directly, so
a #408-poisoned `done` returned `{state:"done", error:"Agent has already
completed", elapsed:0}` for an agent mid-`brew install`, while the same
response's own health block said `reconciled_state:"working"`. Every
termination decision in `waitFor` now reads the live-resolved state — the entry
short-circuits, the retroactive evidence gate, the sweep's fail-fast, and the
timeout report — and the top-level `state` carries the reconciled value. Gating
only the entry would have moved the false completion one poll later, so the
sweep is gated with it. With no live probe wired the resolution IS the record,
so an unprobed engine is unchanged.

#472 — `watchAgentObservation` answered "does this agent exist?" with one
in-memory registry lookup AND a successful screen parse, so a transient read
failure, an unreconstituted record, or a booting pane all became `exists:false`
and a hard `WatchArmError` saying the agent does not exist — for an agent
`send_to` delivered to and verified in the same second. The record now decides
existence (registry, then the state dir), the screen only refines what the
agent is doing, a read failure is retried once and reported as a read failure,
and a booting or unparseable frame arms and lets the predicate resolve. Only
positive evidence the surface is gone (dead, evicted, bare shell) returns
`exists:false`, and the refusal names what was observed instead of asserting
absence.

* fix(f1b): the wait buys its own live evidence instead of hoping the cache is warm

Round 2, reviewer finding A (BLOCKING). Round 1 read the live-resolved state
everywhere it decides, and then depended on `discovery.cachedScan()` for that
state -- which is evidence-free once the scan is 2000ms old, and nothing on the
`wait_for` path refreshes it. For a lead whose next action is `wait_for` the
cache is ordinarily cold, so the entry short-circuit resolved to the poisoned
record and returned the reported bug byte-for-byte; warm at entry, it moved to
the sweep tick two seconds later. Mock-green, not live-green: the round-1 probe
modelled the resolver's shape and never its availability.

So the engine can now FORCE evidence. `setFreshLiveStateProbe` takes an async
single-surface probe (server-wired to `discovery.scanTarget`, not a fleet
`scan`), `refreshLiveState` reads one screen and memoizes the resolution for
LIVE_EVIDENCE_TTL_MS, and `liveStateOf` answers from that memo -- dropping it
when the record moves, so a wait never answers with evidence about the agent's
past. `waitFor` buys evidence at entry, on a 2000ms sweep cadence, and once
more at timeout. Payload: one screen read per agent at entry, one per 2s while
waiting, one at timeout -- bounded and asserted, not one per 1000ms tick.

That memo also closes the second symptom reported live: P11 closure reads
`liveStateOf`, so a working child rendered `closure:"artifact_missing"` beside
`state:"working"` in one payload. The closure in a wait's own reply is now
computed from the evidence that wait bought.

Only positive evidence of ACTIVITY may overturn a terminal record
(`terminationStateOf`). A ready prompt is where a finished worker sits and a
pane reclaimed by a bare shell says nothing about whether the task completed;
without this rule `wait_for(done)` reported `error` for an agent that genuinely
finished on a surface that was later reclaimed.

Finding B: the ready-evidence gate no longer decides from the raw record -- it
opens when either the record or the live state is in the pre-target state, and
additionally requires the record to be able to REACH the target, so it does not
buy a screen read per tick for a transition `VALID_TRANSITIONS` forbids. Stated
plainly in the code: for a `done`-poisoned record the wait still runs to
timeout, because `VALID_TRANSITIONS.done` is empty. It fails safe; the other
half is #408.

Nits: `live` is computed where it is used; the read-failure fallback in the
watch observation is documented as a decision, not an accident. Adds the
negative watch-arm coverage the review asked for (bare shell still refuses).

Two pre-existing expectations encoded the pre-F1b contract for a registry-done
agent whose screen shows work in progress; both are updated with the reason,
and neither test's own subject changed.

* fix(f1b): one row, one state rule — and artifact_missing takes evidence

Round 3, from golemsClaude's live report: five specimens on v0.4.47 with the F1
fix present, one spawned two minutes earlier, each rendering
`closure:"artifact_missing"` while the same row's `state` said `ready`.

Two rules were deciding one row. The row's `state` came from agent-health's
reconciled state -- the raw `screenConfirmedAgentState` verdict -- while
`closure` came from `isLiveActive(live) ? live.state : agent.state`, where
`ready` may not overturn `done`. So a fresh agent at a live prompt whose record
#408 had flipped published a live state and a terminal closure side by side,
and the alarming one won.

`closureStateOf` is now that one rule, in one place, with two carve-outs about
EVIDENCE rather than about which field is rendering: activity always wins, and
a `done` the agent EARNED survives a ready prompt so a genuinely finished
worker's deadlock signal keeps working. What no longer survives is a `done`
with nothing behind it.

And `artifact_missing` now takes positive done evidence. It is not a
description, it is an alarm -- P11's table reads it as "route a reviewer NOW"
-- so `resolveClosureState` requires `doneEvidence`, sourced from the
evidence channel this payload already reports (`done_source !== "none"`: a
done signal seen on the screen or in the harness transcript). A record that
flipped is not a task that finished. That closes the cold-cache shape too:
with no live evidence anywhere, a bare `done` record can no longer fire the
alarm on its own.

The F1 fixture asserting artifact_missing at a ready prompt carried no done
evidence, which made it indistinguishable from the live specimen; it now
carries `task_done_detected_at`, and its sibling -- same screen, same missing
report, no evidence -- asserts `state:"ready"` beside `closure:"pending"`
through the real `list_agents` tool.
