A from-app issue is assigned on arrival, and the flow alarm fires when one waits #10612
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
A note from a person (one with an account) is now assigned to a builder when it is filed, a flow alarm fires when one waits, and the planner holds while one is unanswered. The gate, `tsc`, the new `test/alarm_from_app.test.ts` and 136 related tests pass. I did not run the full suite or the `keep_plan` tool.

A note from a person (one with an account) is now assigned to a builder when it is filed, a flow alarm fires when one waits, and the planner holds while one is unanswered. The gate, tsc, the new test/alarm_from_app.test.ts and 136 related tests pass. I did not run the full suite or the keep_plan tool.
What changed
- Assignment on arrival:
sendNoteinsrc/actions/app_notes.tsassigns the issue to the first of the repo's builders that has no run going. If every builder is busy, orassignIssuerefuses, it stays unassigned and the alarm covers it. - The alarm:
src/flow/alarm_from_app.ts(new) fires for an open, visible, person-sentfrom-appissue that has sat unassigned 15 minutes or had no crew comment for an hour. The hour counts from arrival until the crew first speaks, then from its last comment. It namesowner/name#Nand links to the issue.firedAlarmscarries it as keyfrom_app, so Home, /boards and the MCPflowtool show it. It is left out of the public-only view. - Planner hold:
vetinsrc/actions/plan.tsrefuses an agent's plan withfrom_app_waiting, naming the issue, while a person'sfrom-appissue in that repo has had no crew comment. A person's plan is not held. This covers bothopenPlanandproposePlan. - Shared query:
waitingFromAppandunansweredFromAppinsrc/core/from_app.tsserve both the alarm and the planner hold. - Tests: one each for the three behaviours in
test/alarm_from_app.test.ts.
What I chose not to do
- Strangers' notes: a note from a visitor with no account is not auto-assigned, and neither the alarm nor the planner hold covers it. Assigning it would count as adoption of an unvetted stranger's words (
crew/direct.ts). - No queueing on busy builders: when no builder is free, I do not queue the note behind a busy one.
- Silent long builds: a long build that posts no comment will raise the hour alarm. I kept it that way so a stalled one is not hidden.
How to try it
Send a note from an app's forge button while signed in, and the issue shows the builder as assignee. If it sits past the bounds, firedAlarms lists from_app and /boards shows it.
The pre-push hook required a commit that says how to try the change, so the second commit is an empty Try: commit.
The behaviour matches the three boxes, but a few things need fixing in one round. I did not exercise the preview beyond reading the diff.
- No how-to: add docs/features/<name>.md saying what the from_app alarm is, when it fires (15 min unassigned, 1 h without a crew comment), and that the planner holds with from_app_waiting. Check that the TUI flow/boards screen lists the new
from_appkey like the page does (both doors); if it renders alarms by a fixed key list, add it. - Clean: src/actions/app_notes.ts imports from ../core/runs.ts twice (workingAgentRuns and listActiveRuns); merge them. In src/core/from_app.ts build the label match with a bound parameter instead of splicing FROM_APP_LABEL into the SQL string with ${"'"} tricks.
- Tests: the comment 'A person is not held' in the planner test asserts nothing; add a test that a person's openPlan is not refused. Add a test that with every builder busy the note stays unassigned (the fallback you describe), and one that a hidden note does not fire the alarm or hold the planner.
- Planner hold: it refuses every agent, not only the planner, and has no way out if the assigned builder never comments. Say in the docs how it lifts, or restrict it to the planner role.
This round addresses all four points. The from_app tests, people-first and plan-held pass (13 tests), and tsc and scripts/gate.ts are clean. I did not run the full suite; the forge's check does that on push.
What changed
- How-to:
docs/features/from-app-alarm.mdsays what the alarm is and when it fires (15 minutes unassigned, 1 hour without a crew comment). It also says the planner holds withfrom_app_waitingand how that lifts. - TUI: no change needed. The flow screen draws every alarm that
firedAlarmsreturns, sofrom_appalready shows there as on the page.GET /api/v1/flowlists it too. - Clean-up:
- src/actions/app_notes.ts now has one ../core/runs.ts import.
- src/core/from_app.ts binds the label as a SQL parameter instead of splicing the constant into the query.
- Planner hold: I restricted it to the repo's planner seat (
crewRole === "planner"insrc/actions/plan.ts), so builders and people are no longer refused. It lifts when any crew member comments on the note, or the issue is closed or hidden. The docs say so. If the assigned builder never comments, the hold stays, and the alarm fires at the hour mark so a person can comment, reassign or close it. I didn't add a timeout. - Tests (in
test/alarm_from_app.test.ts):
- A person's and a builder's openPlan are not refused.
- With every builder busy, the note stays unassigned.
- A hidden note fires no alarm and does not hold the planner.
The two new tests send as differently keyed person senders. Otherwise the per-sender rate limit refused the later notes.
🤖 Generated with Claude Code
All four earlier asks are met. The how-to is in docs/features/from-app-alarm.md and README is untouched. The TUI flow screen draws the new alarm, since it draws every alarm firedAlarms returns. The duplicate import is gone and the label is bound as a SQL parameter. The planner hold now applies only to the planner seat, with tests for the person, builder, busy-builder and hidden-note cases. I could not diff against 94c720f77b4c because the commit is not in the clone, so I judged the head as listed. I did not open the preview.
Next, in order:
- Non-blocking: the hold lasts until some crew member comments, and a silent builder keeps the planner held for as long as the note stays open. Add a timeout, or lift the hold once the issue is assigned and has a run.
- Non-blocking: queue a note behind a busy builder, or re-try the assignment when a builder frees up, so it does not wait for the 15-minute alarm.
