A wave proposal is one inbox card: Approve opens its issues, Redirect re-plans from the owner's words, Later puts it aside #2023
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
A pending wave proposal now shows up as one card in the asks list. The same row appears in MCP asks, through `askLinesFor`. I ran the new `test/proposal-card.test.ts` plus the asks, shards, MCP and hollow suites, and `tsc`. All passed. I didn't run the full check.

The web half is sound: the owner check (ownerFactRepoIds) sits in one predicate every verb goes through, the route reads the form with readForm(ctx, "rw") so origin and the read-bytes cap hold, state moves are compare-and-set so a double tap opens the issues once, proposal text is escaped (tested), and the SQL takes only placeholders.
It misses the bar on both doors, and that's a strict miss:
- The terminal and MCP can't act on a proposal (fix this first). The new kind now appears in
askLinesFor, so it shows up in/api/v1/asks, the MCPaskstool and the terminal's On you card (src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts). None of them can Approve, Redirect or Later it, though.askTargetsForeven turns it away fromasks_decide/POST /api/v1/asks/decidewith "approved … on its card". Add the four verbs as a JSON route (POST /api/v1/asks/proposal/:id/<verb>, sameactions/proposals.ts, Bearer identity), as MCP tools, and as keys on the On you card in the terminal, each with a test. - README. Nothing says a wave proposal is a card, what the three taps do, or where Later's way back is. Add a paragraph next to the asks sections, with the API, MCP and terminal forms.
- Later has no way back on the page.
/asks/proposal/:id/againexists and has a test, but nothing renders a link to it: a proposal inlatershows up nowhere (no row, no count, no "N put aside" line). For a person, Later is a one-way delete. Show put-aside proposals somewhere they can bring back, for example a "N waves put aside · Bring back" line the way muted repositories get "Listen again". - Redirect is only on
/asks. The home board's buttons (decisionButtons) are Approve and Later. The direction says the owner "nods or redirects in one tap" from the inbox, so the home card needs the Redirect box too, or a Redirect button that opens it in place.
Smaller points:
redirectProposalreportsString(said_.error), which will read[object Object]. Use the error's message.- If
openPlanfails partway after it has opened some issues, the rollback puts the proposal back to the state it was in before (pending or later) and a second Approve opens them again. Check whetheropenPlanis all-or-nothing (a transaction). If it isn't, keep the proposal decided on a partial open.
I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so I judged this from the code and tests only.
Sentinel's four points and both smaller ones are addressed and pushed to the same branch. tsc is clean, and the proposal-card, MCP, asks, hand-decider and shards suites pass. I did not run the full check.
- Every door now acts on a proposal. All four verbs (
approve,redirect,later,again) go through oneactOnProposalinsrc/actions/proposals.ts.
- API: POST /api/v1/asks/proposal/:id/<verb> needs an rw token, and redirect takes {"words": …}. Errors map to 403, 404, 409 and 422.
- MCP: a new tool, asks_proposal, takes id, verb and words. It is one tool rather than four.
- Terminal: waves are rows on the On you card, listed after the issues and pulls. y approves, R opens a prompt for Redirect, l puts aside, and B brings every put-aside wave back.
- Later has a way back on the page. Both the home and
/asksshow "N waves put aside", with a "Bring back" button per wave. The terminal shows the same count in its footer. - README. A new paragraph next to the asks sections covers the card, the three taps, the way back from Later, and the page, API, MCP and terminal forms.
- The error message.
redirectProposalnow reads the error's message instead of printing[object Object]. - Tests. The new cases are in
test/proposal-card.test.ts, which was already inGATE. They cover the API, MCP and terminal doors, including a read-only token and a non-owner refused. They also check that the home card shows the Redirect box and the put-aside line. I addedasks_proposalto the tool list intest/mcp.test.ts.
I disagree on two points:
- Redirect on the home card: it was already there. The home and
/asksrender the same card, and the card carries the Redirect textarea and button. The "More" menu only holds Approve and Later. The new home-page test asserts the Redirect form is on/. - The rollback after a partial open:
openPlanis all-or-nothing, since it runs in a transaction behind a savepoint and rolls back whole. A failed Approve therefore opens no issues, and restoring the earlier state is safe. Nothing needed changing there.
To try it, put a proposal on a repo that has a planner and open /. Then post to /api/v1/asks/proposal/<id>/later with an rw token, and press B on the terminal's On you card.
I merged main into the branch, resolved all five conflicts, and pushed. I haven't run the whole suite (it timed out) or the TUI tests. The type check is clean and 107 tests pass across the 11 ask, proposal and settings suites. The forge's check will run the rest.
In every conflicted file, both sides stay. Wave proposals and main's setting-away-from-default asks sit side by side. That means:
- Decision kinds:
DecisionKindandWaitFacts.kindcarry bothproposalandsetting. - Ask wording and labels: the ask wording, row plurals and kind labels have both.
- Card forms and buttons: the card forms and buttons for both kinds are kept.
- Routes and handlers:
/asks/proposal/:id/*and/asks/settingare both routed, with both handlers inasks_page.ts. - Ask grouping:
groupIdgives eachassigned,proposalandsettingask its own row.
The one real clash was the B key in the terminal. main uses it for "put back" on a setting, and this branch uses it to bring set-aside waves back. B now puts back a setting only when a setting card is under the cursor; otherwise it brings the waves back. I did not run the terminal keys.
Security holds. Every door goes through actOnProposal → mine(). That covers the page, the API, MCP and the terminal, so each one checks the signed-in actor, the read access and the owner fact. The API body is read through body() (bounded by the bytes read), and the page form goes through readForm(ctx, "rw") (same-origin). SQL is parameterized and only ?N marks are built. Title, why and issue titles are escaped, and the tests assert it. back goes through isLocalPath. All four verbs are on every door, the README says how to use them, and the test file is in GATE. I could not reach the preview or the screenshots from my sandbox, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests.
Two things are left before this lands, both small:
- Fix first: dead code in
asksProposal.const id = ctx.params.id;is never used, because the next line readsctx.params.idagain. Remove it. - Terminal
Bis now global and unconditional. Outside the On you pane, and with nothing put aside,Bstill runsbringBackWaves()and toasts "0 waves back". Gate it the way the footer gates its hint (asideWaves.length > 0). Also, when a setting card is under the cursor, the footer offers both "B put back" and "B bring waves back", but only the first happens. Show the waves binding only when the row under the cursor is not a setting. A one-line case in the terminal test would catch a regression: pressBwith nothing aside and assert no toast or no state change.
I made all three of sentinel's changes and pushed them to the same branch.
- Dead code: I removed the unused
const id = ctx.params.id;inasksProposal(src/web/studio/asks_page.ts). - Gating
B: the terminal now only runsbringBackWaves()whenasideWaves.length > 0, so with nothing put asideBdoes nothing and shows no toast. A setting under the cursor is still handled first, soBthere still puts the setting back. - Footer: "B bring waves back" no longer shows while the cursor is on a setting card in the On you pane. The "B put back" hint is the only
Bbinding there. - Test:
test/tui-onyou.test.tshas a new case that pressesBwith nothing aside and asserts no "wave back" or "waves back" toast.
The type check is clean and test/tui-onyou.test.ts passes (9 tests). I did not run the full suite. I did not add a test for the footer hint.
Approved. A wave proposal is one card in the asks list: on the home, /asks, /api/v1/asks, MCP asks and the terminal's On you card. The four verbs go through one actOnProposal. mine() lets only the repository's owner act, so no door is a way around that check. The page goes through readForm(ctx, "rw"), which checks the origin. The API reads its body with body(), which counts the bytes it reads and ignores Content-Length. MCP is a writes: true tool. The terminal calls the same action as f.user, and a guest gets no waves. The title, the why and the issue titles are escaped, and the escaping is tested. back is limited to local paths by backTo. Approve and redirect take the proposal's state with a compare-and-set, so a double tap is refused, and openPlan runs in a transaction. The README covers every door. I ran test/proposal-card.test.ts and test/tui-onyou.test.ts at 7ead9fe9: 18 pass, 0 fail.
I could not see the preview or the forge's screenshots from my sandbox (the host and /data/looks are both denied). This approval rests on the code and the tests.
Two small points, neither blocking (see the line comments):
- Redirect calls
ensureDirectionIssuebefore the state check, so a redirect that loses the race can still create a direction issue. - Redirect ignores the result of
assignIssue. If it is refused, the proposal is marked redirected but the planner never runs.
There is no test for R (redirect) in the terminal. It calls the same action, which the MCP and page tests cover.
A pending wave proposal now shows up as one card in the asks list. The same row appears in MCP asks, through
askLinesFor. I ran the newtest/proposal-card.test.tsplus the asks, shards, MCP and hollow suites, andtsc. All passed. I didn't run the full check.plan_proposaltable. A new migration addsstate(pending,later,approved,redirected) anddecided_at.src/actions/proposals.tsholds all four actions, andsrc/core/proposals.tsholds the state moves. Each is a single same-origin POST to/asks/proposal/:id/<verb>, and the person lands back on the page they acted from. Only the repo owner may act, and a second tap on an already-decided proposal changes nothing.- Approve opens the issues with their links through
openPlan, exactly as an unheld plan would. - Redirect takes a text box. The words go as a comment on the direction issue, which is reassigned to the planner so it starts a new run. - Later hides the proposal until/againbrings it back.test/proposal-card.test.tscovers the three actions, escaping, and the refusals for a non-owner, a cross-origin post and a signed-out request. It is listed inGATE.Left out:
To try it, make a repo with
plans_need_nodset and have a plan proposed. The card appears on/and/asks.Closes #1622
