Closes #288.

The per-run WORK ITEM cap now has ONE definition — RUN_ITEM_CAP in
pr-review-report-rs/src/main.rs — and every surface derives its statement from
it instead of restating the number.

The shape

  • RUN_ITEM_CAP: usize = 5 is the definition. STATE_LOAD_PAGE_DEFAULT and
    STATE_LOAD_PAGE_RANGE are computed from it, so the budget the prompt states
    and the page the vetter's own tool surface will hand it cannot disagree — the
    silent-underrun the issue names ("told to spend 5, structurally able to fetch
    3") is now unrepresentable rather than untested.
  • pr-review-report item-cap prints it and nothing else, so a shell can
    $(…) it. Both runners read the cap through that subcommand and substitute
    {{ITEM_CAP}} — 23 template sites across the two prompts. No bare cap digit
    survives in either.
  • A budget that will not resolve ABORTS the run. An empty substitution is not
    a failure the shell notices: it renders at most WORK ITEMS per run and hands
    the model a rule with no bound in it. Both runners refuse a value that is not a
    positive integer rather than launching.

What holds it

mod run_item_cap_tests — and the pins are literals, deliberately written
twice
. Derivation alone is not a test: once every surface is computed from one
constant, an expectation computed from that same constant agrees at every value,
so it can no longer tell 5 from 3 and it survives a mutation of the number it
exists to pin.

  • The prompts are scanned for any bare quantity attached to the item/items
    noun — digits and English number words, across a hyphen (5-ITEM BUDGET),
    looking back past an intervening adjective. The scanner's own detection is
    pinned against the exact forms the live prompts used to carry, plus the shapes
    it must not cry wolf on (#114 — lane items, ~617 issues, One item may take SEVERAL sub-agents).
  • Prose that RECORDS a run that happened stays at the value it was measured under
    and is allowlisted as a whole phrase, not a bare number — per the issue's last
    bullet.
  • Every {{PLACEHOLDER}} a prompt holds is asserted substituted by its runner,
    scanned off the prompt itself rather than a list kept beside it.

Deliberately NOT folded in

The issue enumerates six MCP description strings. Four of them —
next_ready, next_close_candidate, next_design, next_leak — are the
HUMAN's inbox, and their page cap merely happens to be a small number too:
theirs is sized by row STALENESS, because each ruling changes the queue. Folding
them into RUN_ITEM_CAP would couple a human's inbox to the crons' risk bound
and make the two impossible to move apart, so they keep their own constants and
a test pins them at their own value — a later "simplification" that derives them
from the cap turns red on the spot rather than the next time the cap moves.

Four defects found beyond the issue's enumeration

  1. review-prompt.txt:40 was stale on main. The run-summary instruction
    still read how many of the 3 budgeted items you spent after feat(cap): raise the per-run WORK ITEM cap from 3 to 5 #289 raised the
    cap to 5. It was missed because the quantity hides behind an adjective — the
    token against the noun is budgeted — which is why the scanner looks back
    three tokens rather than one.

  2. The fan-out guard forbade a literal 3 phrasing. The assertion read
    !prompt.contains("Use the Workflow/Task sub-agent fan-out for the 3").
    Spelling the cap into the forbidden string makes the assertion permanently
    true the moment the cap moves: at cap 5 the phrasing the guard exists to
    forbid could be written with the new number and sail past silently. That is
    The per-run item cap has no single source of truth — 19 hand-copied prose restatements plus two Rust constants #288's own defect living inside the guard against it. The string now stops at
    the and carries no number.

  3. The README documented values the tool refuses. It described the
    state-load as returning at most limit rows (default 10, max 25) — but
    STATE_LOAD_PAGE_RANGE REFUSES an out-of-range limit rather than clamping
    it, so both numbers named a call that errors. It now names the range's
    derivation and says the refusal is structural. The same section also called
    the page a window the vetter re-calls; it is an allowance, and more is the
    next run's work.

  4. feat(cap): raise the per-run WORK ITEM cap from 3 to 5 #289 changed a sentence's meaning without touching it. Step 9 read a run that opens one PR a human merges beats one that opens five they have to triage. At cap 3 five was hyperbole — more than a run was even allowed. At
    cap 5 the same words restate the budget, so the sentence now says a
    full-budget run is the bad outcome. Reworded to opens a pile, which stays
    hyperbole at any cap. This is the class of breakage a digit sweep cannot
    find: nothing about the sentence is stale, and no number in it is wrong.

QA

  • Discriminating tests: run_item_cap_tests::{the_run_item_cap_and_the_page_bounds_it_computes_are_pinned, both_state_loads_state_the_cap_the_validator_enforces, the_restatement_scan_catches_every_form_the_prompts_carried, the_prompts_state_no_item_cap_of_their_own, every_prompt_placeholder_is_substituted_by_its_runner, the_runners_abort_rather_than_render_an_empty_run_budget, the_human_inbox_page_is_not_the_run_item_cap} — each fails on base, verified by reproducing the base state in the tree and watching the named test go FAILED, not by assertion: restoring main's stale 3 budgeted items into review-prompt.txt fails the_prompts_state_no_item_cap_of_their_own, and writing the fan-out phrasing at the new cap (…fan-out for the 5 items) — which main's numbered guard string let through — fails the_producer_prompt_makes_fan_out_the_default_and_says_why. Every probe below is recorded with its running N tests line and per-test ok/FAILED, because cargo prints error: test failed on an ordinary failure and a harness that greps ^error: scores a kill as a build break (mine did, first pass).

  • Mutations applied: RUN_ITEM_CAP = 53 → killed by the_run_item_cap_…_pinned; STATE_LOAD_PAGE_DEFAULT = RUN_ITEM_CAP → literal 3 → same test (this is the one derivation-only expectations cannot catch); LOOKBACK_TOKENS = 31 → killed by the_restatement_scan_… (the adjective case); is_quantity leading-zero guard dropped → same test; NUMBER_WORDS loses "five" → same test; is_quantity digit-run <= 2<= 3SURVIVED; is_quantity's # issue-ref guard disabled → SURVIVED; review-run.sh stops substituting {{ITEM_CAP}} → killed by every_prompt_placeholder_…; campaign-run.sh hardcodes ITEM_CAP="5" instead of reading it → killed by the_runners_abort_…; NEXT_READY_MAX_ROWS derived from RUN_ITEM_CAP → killed at COMPILE time by the existing const assertion NEXT_READY_MAX_ROWS * NR_ROW_CEILING + NR_ENVELOPE_BYTES <= MCP_MAX_RESULT_BYTES (E0080), so that coupling is unrepresentable rather than merely untested. The two survivors were fixed, not excused: the fixtures named for those guards never reached them — in the live sentence ~617 sits three tokens off the item noun (against a {{ITEM_CAP}}-item), and #114 is excluded by the digit-run rule whether or not the # rule exists — so two cases that sit directly against the noun were added (the uncovered set is 617 items, (#51 — lane items)), and both mutants then died. Before that, two of the scanner's three false-positive guards were pinned by nothing.

  • Oracle: issue The per-run item cap has no single source of truth — 19 hand-copied prose restatements plus two Rust constants #288's "Done when" list, and — for the restatement scan — the exact prose the live prompts CARRIED before this change, read out of git show origin/main:{campaign,review}-prompt.txt rather than regenerated by the scanner. The cap's own value is asserted as a LITERAL 5 deliberately written twice, because an expectation computed from RUN_ITEM_CAP agrees with it at every value and so cannot tell 5 from 3.

  • Category check: The per-run item cap has no single source of truth — 19 hand-copied prose restatements plus two Rust constants #288 asks for (a) one definition every consumer derives from, (b) a raise that cannot leave a surface behind, (c) MCP page range and prompt budget that cannot disagree, (d) no statement spelled in a form a mechanical check would miss, (e) historical measurements left alone. All five covered — (a) RUN_ITEM_CAP, (b) {{ITEM_CAP}} + the restatement scan, (c) STATE_LOAD_PAGE_RANGE computed from the cap, (d) the scan reads English number words and hyphenated forms and looks past adjectives, (e) HISTORY_QUOTATIONS. The issue's enumeration of six MCP descriptions is illustrative, not exhaustive, in BOTH directions: review-prompt.txt:40's 3 budgeted items was stale on main and is not in the issue's tables, while four of the six listed descriptions are the HUMAN's inbox and are deliberately NOT folded in — a test pins them at their own value with the reason.

  • CodeRabbit's three threads, answered with probes (14f88cd, all three resolved). Every claim below is a probe that was RUN, with the mutant applied to the tree and the named test watched go FAILED:

    • 00 reached the model as a zero budget. '' | *[!0-9]* | 0 refused the string 0 and passed 00 — all digits, not the string 0 — rendering at most 00 WORK ITEMS per run. Positivity is now decided by FINDING a nonzero digit (*[1-9]*) rather than by excluding spellings of zero, so every spelling of it is out by construction rather than by enumeration. The larger half of the defect was the test: it asserted on the guard's TEXT (runner.contains("'' | *[!0-9]* | 0)")), so it could only confirm the pattern list was the pattern list. It now lifts the case block verbatim out of the shipped script and RUNS it under sh — ten values that must abort ("", 0, 00, 000, x, 5x, " 5", -1, 1.5, 5 5) and four that must not (1, 5, 10, 25). Mutation: the guard as reviewed, restored in campaign-run.sh ALONE → the_runners_abort_… FAILED; in review-run.sh ALONE → FAILED; in both → FAILED. Each file kills independently, so neither rides on the other's coverage.
    • The forward-window suggestion is REJECTED on evidence, not preference. Mutation: CodeRabbit's suggestion implemented as described — same is_quantity, same quotation filter, a forward window LOOKBACK_TOKENS wide — makes the_restatement_scan_… FAIL at once: the scan must not cry wolf on {{ITEM_CAP}} items dispatched as thirty agents is still {{ITEM_CAP}} items: ["{{ITEM_CAP}} items"]. That sentence is LIVE in the prompt and is the one sentence whose whole job is to say the cap counts items and NOT agents; a forward window reads the thirty belonging to agents as this noun's count, so the change's first act is to flag the sentence that prevents the confusion the scanner is about, and the only route back to green is to allowlist it — blinding the guard to its own subject. The cause is directional and not a matter of width: English attaches a count to the noun that FOLLOWS it, so backward-only is the RULE. The suggestion's own fallback (record the limitation) is taken instead, with the "stop at the next noun" condition attached, and the sentence is pinned as a must-not-fire case so a later author gets the panic rather than this thread.
    • returncontinue was hiding coverage loss, not merely reading oddly. Mutation, with the loop's FIRST file absent and its SECOND carrying the old 00-accepting guard: returnthe_runners_abort_… PASSED (the broken second file was never read); continueFAILED on the second file. The bail was converting "one of these files is not checked out" into "none of these files is checked", so a green result was reachable with a live defect in the file that WAS there.
  • Suite at 14f88cd: nix develop .#rust -c cargo test1431 passed, 0 failed, exit 0 (unpiped; the count is unchanged because the three fixes added assertions to existing tests rather than new test functions). pre-commit run --all-filesall 11 hooks Passed, exit 0, and no hook rewrote a file.

Toolchain note

nix develop -c cargo test exits 127 without running anything: the default
devShell is cron-shell, which carries gh/jq and no cargo. The suite is
nix develop .#rust -c cargo test1431 passed, 0 failed, exit 0 — run
unpiped, since | tail reports the pipe's exit code and hides the command's.
cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings is clean, with the file touched first so
a warm target cannot mask a lint.

Two formatting gates were red and are fixed here rather than left for CI to
report, both on code this branch introduced:

  • cargo fmt --check — three violations; the new test module went in
    unformatted.
  • denofmt, which is the one cargo fmt cannot see. rainix-rs-static is
    pre-commit run --all-files in rainix's pinned rust-shell, and its markdown
    hook rewrapped both docs this branch touched: the new item-cap row in
    TRANSITIONS.md carried a trailing column space, and shortening ncc.md's
    sentence to per-run item cap left the paragraph wrapped at the wrong width.
    Verified by running CI's exact command against the same pinned rainix rev —
    all 11 hooks pass, exit 0.

human-fsm bumped 0.20.0 → 0.20.1 for the ncc.md cap edit, in both
plugins/human-fsm/.claude-plugin/plugin.json and
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json.

Closes #288.

RUN_ITEM_CAP = 5 is now the only place the per-run work item cap is
written. STATE_LOAD_PAGE_DEFAULT and STATE_LOAD_PAGE_RANGE derive from
it instead of carrying their own hardcoded numbers, and both prompts
carry a {{ITEM_CAP}} template site wherever the cap was previously
spelled out in prose. No bare cap digit survives in either prompt.

…pinned

The `#`-reference and queue-size guards in `is_quantity` were covered by
fixtures that never reach them. In the live sentence the scan is written for,
`~617` sits three tokens off the `item` noun (`against a {{ITEM_CAP}}-item`), so
the digit-run rule never judges it; and `#114` is excluded by that same
digit-run rule whether or not the `#` rule exists. Both mutants survived.

Two cases that sit a quantity DIRECTLY against the noun, short enough to reach
the rule being pinned, kill both.

Also applies `cargo fmt` — the module went in unformatted and `rainix-rs-static`
would have failed on it.

Walkthrough

The per-run work-item cap is defined by RUN_ITEM_CAP, exposed through pr-review-report item-cap, and validated by tests. State-load limits, MCP schemas, runners, prompts, and documentation now use the configured cap.

Changes

Per-run item cap

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical cap and bounded state loading
pr-review-report-rs/src/main.rs, TRANSITIONS.md, README.md
Rust defines RUN_ITEM_CAP, derives state-load and MCP limits, and adds the item-cap command. State-load processing uses one bounded page per run.
Runner validation and prompt propagation
campaign-run.sh, review-run.sh, campaign-prompt.txt, review-prompt.txt, README.md, plugins/human-fsm/..., .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
Both runners validate and substitute {{ITEM_CAP}}. Campaign and review instructions use the shared cap for budgets, dispatch, pagination, and summaries. Plugin metadata and queue documentation are updated. Validation covers prompt substitutions, cap restatements, schemas, and invalid runner values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 99531

The PR centralizes the per-run item cap and prevents inconsistent budgets, but the current head still documents reject commands that may not record the required work and lacks an executable check for whether a cited change is merged; Markdown lint errors may also fail repository checks. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

`rainix-rs-static` runs `pre-commit run --all-files`, and its `denofmt` hook
rewrites both: the new `item-cap` row in TRANSITIONS.md carried a trailing
column space, and shortening ncc.md's cap sentence to `per-run item cap` left
the paragraph re-wrapped at the wrong width.

Reproduced with CI's exact command against the same pinned rainix rev, which is
the only way to see these — a bare `cargo fmt` does not touch markdown.

… loop

Three defects, all of them the same shape — a guard that reads as covering a
case while saying nothing about the neighbouring one.

`'' | *[!0-9]* | 0` refused the string `0` and let `00` through: all digits,
not the string `0`, and it renders "at most 00 WORK ITEMS", which is the zero
budget the guard exists to refuse wearing two characters instead of one.
Positivity is now decided by FINDING A NONZERO DIGIT rather than by excluding
a list of spellings of zero, so every spelling of it is out by construction.

The test that was supposed to hold that line asserted on the guard's TEXT, so
it could only ever confirm the pattern list was the pattern list. It now lifts
the `case` block verbatim out of the shipped script and RUNS it under `sh`
against both the values that must abort and the values that must not.

`let ... else { return }` in three loops over two files exited the whole test
on the first file it could not read instead of skipping that file — so the
second file was never checked even when it was there. `continue`.

Also pins the direction of `cap_restatements`' window: the count belongs to
the noun that FOLLOWS it, and the live prompt says "{{ITEM_CAP}} items
dispatched as thirty agents" — the one sentence whose job is to say the cap
counts items and not agents, and exactly what a forward window would flag.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…320 reintroduced it

Five conflicts, and three of them are the defect this branch exists to remove,
landed again while the branch sat open since 2026-08-15.

`campaign-prompt.txt` — main's newer prose (the `state-load --approved` and
`--action rework-needs-work` rows) is kept, and the two cap statements it carries
are re-templated onto it: `~617 issues against a 5-item budget` and `one of the
run's 5 items`. Both were written after this branch, both are bare digits, and
both are exactly what `cap_restatements` exists to catch — the scan does not run
on `main`, so nothing stopped them.

`plugins/human-fsm/commands/ncc.md` — main's version taken whole. #316/#320 moved
the reading protocol out of `commands/` into `agents/`, so this branch's edit
target is now a dispatcher and the sentence it fixed lives elsewhere.

`plugins/human-fsm/agents/ncc.md` — where that sentence went, carrying
`5-item run cap`. The fix follows it: `per-run item cap`.

THE GAP THAT ALLOWED ALL THREE, and it is not fixed here: `the_prompts_state_no_item_cap_of_their_own` scans exactly two files, `campaign-prompt.txt` and `review-prompt.txt`. Nothing scans `plugins/human-fsm/**`, so this branch's own `ncc.md` fix was a hand-edit with no guard behind it, and #320 walked a bare cap into a directory the scanner does not know exists. That is #288's defect surviving inside the fix for it — the same shape as the numbered fan-out guard this branch already found. Filed rather than widened here, because extending the scan to the plugin docs means deciding what a dispatcher and an agent are each allowed to state, which is its own change.

`TRANSITIONS.md` — main's `state-load` row (it gained `--action`/`--approved`/
`--audit`/`--limit`) with this branch's `item-cap` row inserted.

`README.md` — both sides kept. They are adjacent additions, not competing edits:
this branch documents `{{ITEM_CAP}}`, main documents `PRR_GH_TIMING`.

`human-fsm` 0.20.1 -> 0.29.0: main reached 0.28.0 while this branch sat at
0.20.1, and this merge edits a plugin file, so it takes the next version rather
than main's. Both manifests moved together; `this_repos_marketplace_is_in_lockstep`
is what caught them disagreeing.

Suite 1542 passed, 0 failed. `cargo fmt --check` clean.

## QA
- Discriminating tests: the branch's own `run_item_cap_tests` are unchanged and
  still pass; the merge is verified by them plus `this_repos_marketplace_is_in_lockstep`,
  which failed twice during this resolution (once on the version pair, once on
  marketplace.json left with conflict markers) and passes now.
- Mutations applied: `RUN_ITEM_CAP` 5 -> 7 against the merged tree — 4 tests fail
  and 1303 pass, so the pins discriminate the value and no shipping surface
  hardcodes it: `the_run_item_cap_..._pinned`, `both_state_loads_state_the_cap_...`,
  `a_state_load_page_is_bounded_by_the_transition_guard` (its `json!(6)` reject
  fixture), `the_state_load_is_bounded_at_the_live_queue_size` (its 170-row
  budget fixture). Restored to 5.
- Oracle: `git show origin/main:` for every conflicted file, read side by side
  with this branch's, rather than the merge's own rendering of either. The cap
  statements re-templated are the ones main's text carries, found by scanning
  main's prose for a digit against the `item` noun — not by reproducing this
  branch's list.
- Category check: the ask was to rebase #292 onto main and land it. Covered: all
  five conflicts resolved keeping main's newer prose, this branch's templating
  carried onto it, the plugin version pair reconciled, suite green. NOT covered
  and stated above: the scanner's file coverage, which is a follow-up.

197-202: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Include the required rework option in every reject command.

The documented command omits the required --rework option, and the same form is repeated later. Without it, the command can refuse or record no work order. Update all reject examples to use the supported syntax. Based on learnings, reject rulings require the --rework option for both pull request and issue subjects.

103-113: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Make the merged-state check executable.

These instructions require proof that the cited PR is merged. Lines 164-166 state that pr_context has no merged or state field, and the agent has no other read for that fact. If landing status cannot be verified, the agent must reject the close claim instead of inferring it. Add a typed merged-state read or make the reject path mandatory.

The cap is a RATCHET at main s exact size — main is 153919 of 153919 — so this
branch s +289 fails by construction. The 289 is the templating itself:
{{ITEM_CAP}} is 11 bytes more than 5, at 23 sites. That is the change, so the
bytes come from prose instead.

Cut from QA-GUIDE.md (charged with the prompts because campaign-prompt.txt NAMES
it, which is the part I had wrong when I called 6213 bytes of headroom): the
sentence describing require-qa-block as a PreToolUse hook over gh pr create. The
producer cannot take that path — gh pr create is forbidden to it and it opens
PRs only through open_pr — so by the gate s own test, what would the run get
wrong without this line, the answer is nothing. 344 cut against 289 needed.

The plugin cap is the same shape: 121990, and per-run item cap was 2 bytes over
it. run item cap says the same thing and fits.

denofmt reflowed TRANSITIONS.md, README.md and agents/ncc.md around the shorter
lines; byte totals unchanged, both caps still satisfied.

prompt 153864/153919, plugin 121988/121990.

KNOWN NOT FIXED: rs-test (macos-latest) fails
render_component_tests::the_server_answers_a_real_request, which binds a TCP
socket on 127.0.0.1. It touches nothing this branch changes and main is green on
its last six runs, so it is read as a runner flake and left to the re-run.

## QA
- Discriminating tests: n/a — the change is prose bytes and markdown reflow; the
  gates that judge it are the two prompt-cap CI jobs, measured directly above.
- Mutations applied: n/a — no branch to mutate. The measurement is the check:
  restoring the cut passage puts the total at 154208, which is the failure this
  commit answers.
- Oracle: the cap job s own arithmetic, read from its CI log rather than
  recomputed — it charges files the prompt NAMES, one hop, which is why
  QA-GUIDE.md is in the total and why my glob-only count was wrong.
- Category check: four CI failures. Covered: prompt cap, plugin prompt cap,
  rs-static (denofmt). NOT covered and stated above: rs-test (macos-latest).
