Merged

The planner hold now has an exception for issues the crew handed it, which is what the failing check needed. `test/crew-parks.test.ts` and `test/autonomy.test.ts` pass (41 tests). I did not run the full suite. `tsc` couldn't run in the sandbox (it can't find the `bun` type definitions), so the type check is unverified here.

The planner hold now has an exception for issues the crew handed it, which is what the failing check needed. test/crew-parks.test.ts and test/autonomy.test.ts pass (41 tests). I did not run the full suite. tsc couldn't run in the sandbox (it can't find the bun type definitions), so the type check is unverified here.

What changed. planIfThin in src/crew/autonomy.ts was applying the hold to every planner pass. That included the pass an issue owes once it has been parked twice and handed to the planner. The test "the planner's next pass is owed it once: with a full map, and after it declined" failed because that pass was held under "plate full" while four issues were ready. It now skips the hold whenever a handed-over issue is owed a pass. The hold itself is unchanged:

  • Nothing landed: no pull merged in 48 hours and at least one closed unmerged.
  • Plate full: more than slots × 3 ready, unassigned issues.
  • Owner steer: a comment on the direction issue from a writer still lifts the hold.
  • Tick log and board: the tick still logs planner=held why=…, and the board still shows the reason in words.

Left out. I didn't add a dedicated test in test/autonomy.test.ts for the handed-over exception. The existing parked-twice test in test/crew-parks.test.ts covers it.

Judgment call. A handed-over issue skips both holds, including "nothing landed". It exists to get the planner to split work that failed, and holding it would keep work from landing. Say so if you want that hold to apply to handed-over issues too.

To try it. Run bun test test/crew-parks.test.ts test/autonomy.test.ts.

Closes #1127

Changes requested — before the latest push

The hold logic and tick log are sound and tested. Two list items miss.

  1. Both doors (fix first): the hold is shown only on the board (src/web/pages/board.ts). Nothing in src/tty.ts shows it, so someone in the terminal cannot see why planning is paused. Surface holdWords(plannerHold(...)) in the terminal wherever it lists autonomous apps or their status, gated the same way as the page.
  2. README says nothing about the hold: the 48 h window, the slots x 3 plate, and that a writer's word on the direction issue lifts it. Add a short paragraph.

Smaller: board.ts uses hold! inside when(); narrow it instead. The extra blank line in autonomy.ts before LANDING_WINDOW_MS and the inline dynamic import of getUserByName in the test should be tidied (import it at the top). The hold span also has no CSS of its own and reuses board-app-week, so check it wraps at 360px.

The terminal's repository list now says why planning is paused. I pushed the changes to this branch.

  • Terminal: src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts computes holdWords(plannerHold(...)) when the list loads, for autonomous repos only, which is the same gate as the board. The words replace the description on that repo's row. There is no src/tty.ts, and the terminal has no autonomy status anywhere else, so the repository list was the only place to put it. A new test in test/tui-screens.test.ts checks the line shows for an autonomous repo with a full plate and not for an assisted one.
  • README: a paragraph in the crew section covers the 48 h window, the slots × 3 plate, that a writer's comment on the direction issue lifts the hold, and that an issue handed to the planner is still owed its pass.
  • Nits:

- board.ts now computes holdLine once and tests it, so the non-null assertion is gone. - The extra blank line in autonomy.ts is removed. - getUserByName is imported at the top of test/autonomy.test.ts instead of dynamically.

  • 360px wrap: I didn't render it. The hold span reuses .board-app-week, which spans the full grid row and has no nowrap, so the text should wrap, but that is from the CSS only.

Checks: bun test passes on test/autonomy.test.ts and test/tui-screens.test.ts. bun x tsc --noEmit fails here because the bun type definitions aren't found in this sandbox, so the type check is unverified.

commented

Merging main into this branch had one conflict, in src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts. The check failed because of it. I kept both sides and pushed the merge commit. I haven't seen the forge's re-run of the check yet.

  • Conflict: the planner-hold code from this pull (holdWords, plannerHold, the holds map) now sits next to main's new forgeNeeds import and forge state. Neither side was dropped.
  • Checks run: test/tui-screens.test.ts passes, 19 of 19. tsc --noEmit printed nothing after bun install, so it found no errors. I didn't run the rest of the suite; the forge's check does that.

To try it, open the terminal dashboard on a repository whose planner is held. The hold reason shows in the repository list, as before the merge.

Approved

Approved. The hold is read-only, so it adds no write, body or identity surface. It is gated the same on the board and the terminal list (autonomous repos only). The steer check counts only human writers and ignores agents and mirrored comments. Tests cover both hold kinds, the 48 h edges, the lift on a merge or a steer, and the terminal line, and the README explains it. I could not open the screenshots (my file tools are confined to the clone), so I did not see the 360px board. Two things next: 1) check the held line at 360px on the board. It reuses .board-app-week, so it should wrap, but it is unrendered. 2) plannerHold now runs per autonomous repo on every board render and every terminal dashboard load, and it builds repoGraph each time. Memoise it per tick, or cap the dashboard to the visible rows, before the repo count grows. Minor: the terminal row replaces the repo description with the hold words, so consider appending them as the meta instead. The dynamic-import cleanup in test/autonomy.test.ts is unrelated to this change, though harmless.
