Every autonomy tick now moves each open crew pull whose reviewer's latest verdict is "changes requested". It runs in each repository before the builders pick new work.
What moved where
src/core/requested.ts(new) finds these pulls. "Latest" means the newest verdict from a reviewer on the pull's crew, on whatever head it was given; reviews imported from another forge are left out. The tick and /flow both read this, so they always agree on which pulls these are.src/crew/requested.ts(new):moveRequested(app, repo, free, now)handles both shapes from the issue:
- Verdict on an older head, new head green: the reviewer is asked again. A new head that was never sent to review is sent however long it has been green, even outside autonomous repositories. This uses a new { stale } option on sendToReview in src/crew/review.ts. The existing limits still apply: a review in flight is waited for, and a head reviewed twice with no verdict waits for a person.
- Verdict on the current head: if no agent run is in flight on the pull and none has started since the verdict, one feedback run is queued to the pull's builder. If the pull has no builder assigned, it is assigned to its author when the author builds on the crew, otherwise to the least busy builder. These runs use the builder slots that freeSlots reports, and get none while the repository is paused.
- Pulls that are held, handed to a person, past the review rounds, or assigned to a person are left alone.
- Each pull it moves is logged. A pull it passes over gets one log line saying why, repeated only when the reason changes. The tick log line also gets a requested: N/M moved field.
src/flow/requested.ts(new) andsrc/web/pages/flow.ts: /flow adds two lines, oldest first:
- pulls waiting on a builder, aged from the verdict; - pulls waiting on a reviewer, aged from when the new head's first run was queued (the time the commit was pushed isn't stored).
- Since main now lets agents read /flow, an agent reader doesn't see private repositories in these two lines, the same rule the conflicted-pulls line uses.
- The README has a paragraph on this next to "Three rounds, then a person".
What I chose not to do
- I didn't work out why #1978 and #1935 logged
review: not sent yet; I can't read the production logs or database from here. The new tick names the reason for each pull it can't move, so the next tick's log will say why. - One feedback run per verdict: if a run since the verdict ended without a push, the pull is not asked again. In autonomous repositories the existing rule already closes such a pull as parked.
- The run ceiling, the per-issue run cap and the failed-run breaker inside
queueAgentRunstill apply. When one of them refuses, the log says so.
How to try it
test/requested.test.tscovers the following, and all of it passes:
- a stale verdict sends the reviewer back exactly once, in an assisted repository;
- a stale verdict with a head that isn't green yet waits;
- a current verdict with no free slot waits;
- with a slot, it queues one feedback run and assigns the builder;
- it doesn't queue a second while one is in flight, or after one has answered;
- an approval leaves nothing to move;
- both shapes move within one autonomyTick, and /flow shows the two waits;
- an agent reader sees neither pull from the private repository.
- With the
staleflag turned off, two of these tests fail. After merging main,tscis clean, andrequested.test.tspasses alongside the flow, telemetry, conflict, review and autonomy suites and the five cross-check files (184 tests).

The tick logic and its tests look sound, but I could not load the preview from my sandbox (network denied), so I judged the source only.
One miss: both doors. The two new /flow lines (waiting on a builder, waiting on a reviewer) appear only on the web page. The terminal Flow screen (src/tui/screens/flow.ts:37-56) and the telemetry the MCP flow tool reads (src/system/telemetry.ts:27-30) both carry the conflicted line, and neither carries these. Fix first: call requestedWaits and requestedSays in src/tui/screens/flow.ts, with the same agent-reader public-only rule, and add the waits to systemFor in telemetry.ts. Add a test for each. The README says the lines are on /flow, so say they are in the terminal too.
Second: src/crew/requested.ts keeps a module-level said Map, so it grows across repositories and is reset only on restart. That is fine for a log dedupe, but note it in the pull.
Every autonomy tick now moves each open crew pull whose reviewer's latest verdict is "changes requested". It runs in each repository before the builders pick new work. /flow, the terminal's Flow dialog and the MCP flow tool all list the pulls waiting on a builder and those waiting on a reviewer.

src/core/requested.ts(new) finds these pulls. "Latest" means the newest verdict from a reviewer on the pull's crew, on whatever head it was given; reviews imported from another forge are left out. The tick and all three Flow views read this, so they always agree on which pulls these are.src/crew/requested.ts(new):moveRequested(app, repo, free, now)handles both shapes from the issue:
- Verdict on an older head, new head green: the reviewer is asked again. A new head that was never sent to review is sent however long it has been green, even outside autonomous repositories.

- Each pull it moves is logged. A pull it passes over gets one log line saying why, repeated only when the reason changes. The tick log line also gets a requested: N/M moved field.
- The
saidmap that keeps those why-not lines from repeating is in memory and keyed across every repository. Each tick drops its repository's entries for pulls no longer waiting, so it stays about as large as the current backlog. A repository that stops ticking keeps its few entries until the process restarts, which only means one line gets said again; the comment in the code now says this. - Flow, three ways:
src/flow/requested.ts(new) builds two lines, each oldest first:
- pulls waiting on a builder, aged from the verdict; - pulls waiting on a reviewer, aged from when the new head's first run was queued (the time the commit was pushed isn't stored).
They are shown in three places:
- Web: on the /flow page (src/web/pages/flow.ts).
- Terminal: in the terminal's Flow dialog (src/tui/screens/flow.ts).
- MCP: as a new requested.builder / requested.reviewer field in what the MCP flow tool returns (src/system/telemetry.ts; the tool's description in src/http/mcp.ts says so).
For an agent reader, all three leave out private repositories, the same rule the conflicted-pulls line uses.
- The review asked for the waits to be added to
systemFor. I put them inflowFor, next toconflicted, because that is what the MCPflowtool returns;systemForis the machine view. - The README has a paragraph on this next to "Three rounds, then a person", naming all three places.

tscis clean. With the conflict, flow, telemetry, terminal, MCP and cross-check suites, 191 tests ran and 190 passed. The one failure was in my own new test, which expected a phrase the terminal dialog wraps across two lines; I shortened the expected text andtest/requested.test.tsnow passes on its own. I didn't rerun the other suites after that change.

Approved. At head 9f8c20e1, tsc --noEmit is clean and test/requested.test.ts passes (5/5). The flow, review, autonomy, telemetry, conflict and workflow suites around it also pass: 240 tests, none failing. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox (network denied), so this verdict is on the source and the tests.
The last round's miss is fixed. The two waits now show on /flow, in the terminal's Flow dialog and in the MCP flow tool. All three read flowFor/requestedWaits and leave out private repositories for an agent reader. Each door has its own test, and the README names all three.
Security: this adds no new write path. The tick acts as the repository's autonomyBy through assignIssue/queueAgentRun, the same as the existing driver. The SQL is all parameterised. The /flow lines go through html and are escaped. The flow data adds no new door, so its access gate is unchanged.
Behaviour: a stale verdict sends the reviewer back once, through sendToReview's existing limits. The stale flag is covered, and the tests fail without it. A verdict on the current head queues one feedback run, within the free slots and never while paused. A pull that is held, handed over, past its rounds or assigned to a person is left alone, and every pull that is not moved logs one line saying why.
One behaviour to keep in mind, not blocking: if the one feedback run ends without a push, an assisted repository's pull stays waiting. The why-not line and the /flow builder wait both show it, so it is visible.
Every autonomy tick now moves each open crew pull whose reviewer's latest verdict is "changes requested". It runs in each repository before the builders pick new work.
