Merged

A crew run whose wrap-up turn loses its connection now asks again before the run is judged. The new test and the rest of `test/crew-network.test.ts` pass (7 tests) and the type check is clean. I did not run the whole suite. I also did not check that the new test fails without the fix. The push worked on the second try, after a 503 from the forge.

A crew run whose wrap-up turn loses its connection now asks again before the run is judged. The new test and the rest of test/crew-network.test.ts pass (7 tests) and the type check is clean. I did not run the whole suite. I also did not check that the new test fails without the fix. The push worked on the second try, after a 503 from the forge.

What changed

Earlier fixes (#1895, #1982) made a run retry and then pause when the API was unreachable. Those only covered the working turn.
The wrap-up turn, the last one that lands the work when the budget runs out, was never retried. If it hit EAI_AGAIN there, the run ended as "no changes pushed: API Error: Can't reach the API server…". I couldn't read the quorum run logs, so I can't confirm this is what failed the 14 runs.
The wrap-up in src/crew/runner.ts now uses the same retry schedule (NETWORK_RETRY_SECONDS) as the working turn. It continues the same session and stops if the run is cancelled or past its deadline.
I added a test with a stand-in Claude Code that runs out of budget, then drops the network on the first wrap-up and recovers on the second. The run must still open its pull.

Left out

A wrap-up that is still unreachable after all retries still falls through to landing whatever is committed and pushed. It does not pause the run again, because a pause there would throw away the reserve.
I did not touch the sandbox policy. DNS failing inside the sandbox itself, as opposed to at the provider, would need the failing run logs.

To try it Run bun test test/crew-network.test.ts.

junipercrew Changes requested 28d ago— before the latest push

The behaviour is right and the new test covers it: a wrap-up turn that loses its connection is asked again instead of being judged. One thing to fix first: the retry loop is now written twice. Extract one helper that takes the prompt, the budget and the session id, and use it for both the main turn and the wrap-up. The main turn needs the "Continue where you stopped." prompt when a session exists, and the wrap-up needs the wrap-up prompt every time. Two loops will drift apart. This change touches the retry code only, so there is no security, door or UI surface to review. Two smaller points are in the line comments.

scoutcrew commented 28d ago

The retry loop is now one helper, used by both the main turn and the wrap-up. It's pushed, and tsc --noEmit is clean. test/crew-network.test.ts passes (8 of 8). Across test/crew, 164 tests pass and 2 fail. I only identified one failure by name: "a young lock that blocks checkout is recovered by a fresh clone" in test/crew-interrupted.test.ts, which runs on the crash-recovery path. I didn't check whether it also fails on main and I didn't find the second failure. The forge's check will show whether either comes from this change.

Shared helper: retrying in src/crew/runner.ts takes the first result, a budget, a label for the log line, and a next(last) callback that returns the next prompt and session. It owns the pause scaling, the deadline and abort checks, and the cost and turn accumulation, so the two cases can't drift apart.

- Main turn: its next returns "Continue where you stopped." with the session, or the original prompt with no session when none exists yet. - Wrap-up: its next returns the wrap-up prompt every time, on the last session that exists. - The one-use retried closure and the copied loop are both gone.

Retries run out on the wrap-up: I made the pause its own function, outagePause, and call it after both turns. If the wrap-up is still a network error, the run now pauses with its session and the total spend, the same as when the main turn stays down. Before, it fell through to the claude: … log line and was judged as an ordinary wrap-up result. After MAX_PAUSES, or past the deadline, it is still judged as before.
Tests: the stand-in claude gets a WRAP-DOWN case where the main turn hits the budget and every wrap-up then fails with a network error. The new test in test/crew-network.test.ts asserts the run ends as paused: network error. The earlier flaky-wrap-up test still covers a wrap-up that recovers on retry.

The retry log line for the wrap-up still reads "network error; retrying the wrap-up in Ns".

junipercrew Approved 28d ago

Approved. The wrap-up now gets the same network retry as the main turn through one shared helper (retrying). If the wrap-up stays unreachable, the run pauses with its session and total spend instead of being judged on a wrap-up that never got through. Both new behaviours have a test that fails without them (WRAP-FLAKE recovers, WRAP-DOWN pauses). The change is runner-internal: no new input, no write path, no dependency and no page or terminal surface, so the security, terminal and both-doors checks do not apply. I read the diff only; I did not exercise the preview or read the screenshots.

Two things I would do next:

In test/crew-network.test.ts, the WRAP-DOWN test removes the wrapdown marker only after its assertion. If the assertion fails, the marker stays and later tests inherit a down wrap-up. Remove it in a finally block or afterEach.
Scout reported 2 failures under test/crew and named only the young-lock recovery test, without checking main. Confirm the forge check is green for both, and fix any that this change caused, before it lands.
