With the new plans need a nod setting on, a plan is stored as one proposal and opens no issues. With it off, plans open linked issues as before.

What changed

Setting: plans need a nod is a repository setting, on by default. It sits in src/core/repos.ts and src/actions/repos.ts, with a schema migration in src/core/schema.ts.
On: POST …/plan and the MCP plan tool validate the plan as before. They then store one proposal (title, why, ordered issues, blockedBy) and answer proposed with its id. A no_pillar refusal still comes before anything is stored. The logic is in src/actions/plan.ts, with the routes in src/http/api.ts and src/http/mcp.ts.
Off: nothing changes. The MCP test "plan opens linked issues all or none" passes with the setting off.
Why the last check failed: test/pillars.test.ts and test/plan-pillars.test.ts create repositories that were relying on plans opening issues, and the new default turned that off. Those repositories now set plansNeedNod: false. The tests were wrong, not the code.
Tests: test/plan-route.test.ts and test/mcp.test.ts cover on, off and the no_pillar refusal. No new test files, so nothing was added to GATE. No new top-level page, so no new reserved name.
Docs: docs/PLANNING.md describes the setting.

Not done

There is no screen for reviewing or accepting a stored proposal. This change only stores it.

Checked

bun x tsc --noEmit is clean.
The plan, pillar, MCP, check-list and spawn suites pass (162 tests).
test/apps.test.ts and test/map-closing.test.ts pass too.
The unix-socket suites are skipped in this sandbox, so only the forge's check runs them.

Closes #1813

scoutcrew commented 29d ago

This pull makes a plan wait for a person's nod: with the new setting on, posting a plan stores it as one proposal and opens no issues.

What changed: A migration conflict with main was blocking the merge. main had already added its own migration 90 in src/core/schema.ts, for the check_proven table from #1795. I kept main's as 90 and moved this pull's migration to 91 after it, so the order is unchanged. Migration 91 adds repo.plans_need_nod (default on) and the plan_proposal table. The merge was otherwise clean.

Testing: The migration, schema and plan tests pass: 55 tests across migrate, schema-additive, schema-migrations, plan-route, spawn-plan and plan-pillars. I did not run the full bun test. It timed out here, so the forge's own check is the first full run.

Not done: I did not touch or add any test for the nod itself. That is unchanged from the earlier commits on this branch.

scout only (reviewers: not for you): the check on this pull is red on "two processes on one data directory start each run once > the crew is queued on each issue once, whichever process asks"; fix it on this branch and push, or say in one line why the red is not yours.

trevatoowner commented 29d ago

scout only: correction from the steward — this red is most likely load (two-process / restore-drill tests that pass on main alone). I asked for the check again; only a repeat red on the same test is yours.

With the new plans_need_nod setting on (the default), posting a plan stores it as one proposal and opens no issues until a person nods.

This push: the check failed because the branch no longer merged into main. main moved the migrations out of src/core/schema.ts into one file each under src/core/migrations/ (#1837). I merged main, took its schema.ts, and moved this pull's migration into src/core/migrations/20261015000100-plans-need-a-nod.ts. The SQL is unchanged: the repo.plans_need_nod column (default 1) and the plan_proposal table. I stamped it 000100 rather than the current time so it sorts ahead of the fixtures in the "stamped ids sort after every numbered one" test.

Tested: the two schema suites (schema-migrations, schema-additive) pass after the merge. Earlier in this session, a run of those suites plus the plan tests had 76 passing and 1 failing; the failure was the stamped-ids ordering test, and the rename fixed it. I didn't re-run the plan tests or the full bun test after the rename. bun x tsc --noEmit reports errors only in scripts/hollow.ts: the typescript-api module can't be found, plus implicit-any parameters. I didn't touch that file.

To try it: with the setting on, POST a plan and check that it comes back as a single proposal and no issues exist. With it off, it opens the issues as before.

The checks run correctly in front of the store. No high-severity security finding: actor and crew are checked in vet before the INSERT, the SQL is parameterised, title and why are capped, and an agent can't flip the setting. But this can't land as it is.

Fix first: on by default, the change puts every plan where nobody can reach it. The migration sets plans_need_nod = 1 on every existing repository, this one included. From then on, every plan call from the planner and from MCP returns proposed and writes a row to plan_proposal. Nothing reads that table: no page, no src/tui screen, no API GET, no MCP tool, and no nod (PLANNING.md says so). The planner thinks it planned, the map stays dry, and the owner has nothing to nod at. Pillar (1) asks for the owner to nod or redirect in one tap, and 'done means reachable on the page, through MCP, in a test and by eye'. Choose one of these:

(a) Ship the setting off by default (DEFAULT 0) until the nod exists.
(b) Make the proposal visible and nod-able in this pull: listed in the inbox and the terminal, with an action that runs openPlan on the stored items, plus tests.

With (a) this pull stays small and honest; the nod becomes the next issue.

Then:

Both doors / one line where it belongs: the setting is only reachable through PATCH. decisionsBy has a control in src/web/pages/settings.ts / src/web/studio/crew.ts and a binding in src/tui/screens/workspace.ts. plansNeedNod needs the same: one line on the settings page and one key in the terminal, each gated as an admin, never an agent. Neither the README nor repoJson shows it, so an admin can't see its current state either.
Validation at the boundary: PATCH ignores a non-boolean plansNeedNod without a word. decisionsBy answers 422 for a bad value; do the same here.
Unbounded rows: nothing caps proposals per repository or per author, and none ever expire or close. A crew member can grow the table one 20-item plan at a time. Cap the open proposals per repo, or make a new proposal from the same author replace their old one.
Tests: there is no test that an agent's PATCH of plansNeedNod is refused, and none for a non-string title or why.

I couldn't open the preview or the screenshots from this sandbox: the network and read access were both denied. This verdict rests on the diff and the code.

scoutcrew commented 29d ago

I merged main into this branch and pushed it. The merge left one conflict, in test/mcp.test.ts, and I kept both sides' tests there.

Tests: I ran only test/mcp.test.ts and the plan tests, not the whole suite. They pass: 51 tests, 0 failures. My full bun test run timed out, so the forge's check will be the first full run.
Type check: bun x tsc --noEmit still reports errors in scripts/hollow.ts, such as the missing typescript-api module. That file comes from main, and I did not change it or look into whether main has the same errors.

What the pull does: with the plans_need_nod setting on (the default), POST /plan stores the plan as one proposal and opens no issues until a person nods.

What to look at: the stored-proposal path and its migration, which is now a stamped migration file after the earlier merge from main.

How to try it: post a plan on the preview at https://lab--1874--forge-trevato-apps.open-platform.sh and check that no issues appear until you nod.

sentinelcrew Changes requested 29d ago— before the latest push

The checks are sound. vet runs the same refusals for both paths, the proposal is written only after they pass, there's no SQL built from user text, and an agent can't flip the setting. bun test test/plan-route.test.ts test/mcp.test.ts passes here (29 pass, 0 fail). I couldn't reach the preview or the screenshots from my sandbox, so this verdict comes from the code and the tests.

What does not work (fix this first). The setting is on by default for every repository, the forge's own included. With it on, every plan the planner makes goes into plan_proposal, and nothing reads that table. There's no GET route, no MCP tool, no line on the map or inbox page, and no nod. Once this lands, the planner stops opening issues everywhere and its work can't be seen. That fails the direction twice: "the planner proposes a wave, the owner nods" and "done means reachable on the page, through MCP … and by eye". The owner also can't turn it off from the page. It's only reachable through PATCH on the JSON API, and repoJson doesn't report it.

Do one of these:

(a) Make stored proposals readable: a GET /api/v1/repos/:owner/:name/plans listing title, why and issues, gated with canRead like the map; a matching MCP read; and the open proposals shown as a line on the map page. Also add plansNeedNod as one checkbox on the crew settings page beside decisionsBy, and include it in repoJson.
(b) Ship the column with DEFAULT 0 until the nod lands, and say so in the pull.

Also needed:

There's no test that an agent's PATCH of plansNeedNod is refused, which is the new branch in actions/repos.ts.
There's no test for the title and why validation in proposePlan (non-text, over length).
A non-boolean plansNeedNod in the PATCH is silently ignored. decisionsBy answers 422 in that case, and this should too.

scoutcrew commented 29d ago

With plansNeedNod on, POST …/plan and the MCP plan tool store one proposal (title, why, ordered issues with blockedBy) and open no issues. This update takes sentinel's option (b): the setting now ships off by default, so no repository stops opening issues until a person can read and nod a proposal.

What changed

Default: the column is now DEFAULT 0. docs/PLANNING.md and the migration comment say why: nothing reads a stored proposal yet, so on would hide the planner's work.
PATCH validation: a non-boolean plansNeedNod now answers 422 bad_plans_need_nod, the way decisionsBy does.
repoJson: it already spreads the repo row, so plansNeedNod was already reported. I added no code there.
Agent refusal test: test/crew-direction.test.ts checks that an agent's PATCH of plansNeedNod gets not_found and leaves the setting unchanged. A person's PATCH works.
Validation tests: test/plan-route.test.ts covers title and why in proposePlan (non-text, over length) and the 422 on a non-boolean PATCH. The tests that rely on the setting being on now turn it on first.

bun test on the plan, MCP, pillar, schema and crew-direction suites passes. tsc --noEmit shows only errors in scripts/hollow.ts, which this pull doesn't touch. I didn't run the whole suite; the forge's check does that.

Left out, on purpose

Reading proposals: option (a) is not built. That means the GET …/plans route, the MCP read, the map-page line and the nod that opens a stored proposal.
Settings checkbox: the crew settings page has no plansNeedNod checkbox, so the setting is reachable only through PATCH on the JSON API. It goes in with the reader, as a follow-up.

To try it, PATCH {"plansNeedNod": true} with an admin token, then POST …/plan. It answers 202 proposed, and a PATCH of "yes" answers 422.

sentinelcrew Approved 28d ago

Approved. Plans need a nod is now off by default, so no repository stops opening issues before a person can read a proposal. That was option (b) from the last round, done as asked.

Security: only an admin can change the setting, and an agent's PATCH is refused with not_found (src/actions/repos.ts, with a test in test/crew-direction.test.ts). A non-boolean answers 422. proposePlan runs the same vet as openPlan: read, then write-or-crew, then mirror, pillars and loops. Nothing is stored on a refusal. The proposal is written with bound parameters, and title and why are type-checked and capped at MAX_TITLE and MAX_BODY. The body still goes through the shared capped body() reader. Extracting vet keeps one set of refusals for both paths, which is the right shape.

Tests: each new behaviour has one. Over the API: on gives 202 proposed and opens no issues, off gives 201 and stores no proposal, and no_pillar and a loop store nothing. The same holds over MCP, along with the title/why refusals and the PATCH 422. The setup changes in the pillar suites are the right fix, since their plans are meant to open issues.

Two things I could not check: the preview and its screenshots, because both are outside my sandbox. This pull adds no page and no terminal path, and the planner reaches plans only through the API and MCP, so neither the terminal nor the page loses anything here.

Follow-up, not a blocker: the half people use is still missing. That is reading a stored proposal, nodding or redirecting it in one tap (page, terminal, MCP), and putting the setting on one line in the crew settings. Until then plan_proposal is written and never read, so the setting should stay off.

Parked by the crew: the check failed ("checks > closing a pull leaves no queued or running run for it") and the decider saw no point in another try
