Merged

The tick line now says what holds each ready issue a builder can't start. /flow draws the same breakdown as a bar per autonomous repository. And when nothing can start while builder slots are free, the planner is asked to re-plan the stuck issues. This probably explains the probe on the issue: 33 ready issues with no unassigned slots taken means more than `slots × 3` ready, unassigned issues, whic…

What moved where

New src/crew/held.ts. The ready filter used to be one yes/no chain inside startable(). It is now heldBy(), which checks the same filters in the same order and records each held issue under the first filter that holds it: running, open_pull, planner, stalled, run_cap, parked_twice, red_fix, setting. stalled() and atRunCap() moved here from autonomy.ts unchanged. startable() now just returns heldBy().startable, so which issues are startable hasn't changed. The direction issue is still left out and isn't counted.
The tick line (src/crew/autonomy.ts) gains held=, for example held="open_pull=10 stalled=12 run_cap=11". Filters with nothing in them are left out.
Asking the planner. When driveRepo has free slots, nothing is startable, and some held issues are stalled, at their run cap or parked twice, the planner is owed one pass. That pass ignores the full-plate hold, its own unanswered decline, and the "nothing new since last pass" skip. It is owed only while one of those issues had a builder run end after the planner's last pass, so the same breakdown doesn't ask twice. The 20-minute replan floor, the breaker and the direction's daily cap still apply. The log says nothing startable; planner asked … held=….
The planner's brief (src/crew/brief.ts, filled in by src/crew/runner.ts) gets a section listing the stalled and capped issues with the counts. It tells the planner to split or replace them into smaller, fresh issues and not to wait for a person's comment. Parked-twice issues are not repeated there because the brief already lists them.
/flow (src/web/pages/flow.ts) has a new card, "Ready, and why it waits", showing each autonomous repository's ready list as an SVG bar with a count per filter. Private repositories are shown only to the owner.
README and docs/FLOW.md describe both.

Not done: no per-filter breakdown in the terminal's Flow command or the MCP flow tool, since the issue asked only for the tick line and /flow.

Tests: test/crew-held.test.ts has three:

An issue held by each of the eight filters is counted under its name, and the tick's wording matches.
With four stalled issues and one capped, nothing startable and a full plate, the planner is asked once with the breakdown in its brief. A builder's brief doesn't get it. After that pass, the same breakdown doesn't ask again.
/flow shows the bar and the counts.

Without the change, the second test comes back idle because the full plate holds the planner. The new tests and the 18 existing suites around autonomy, parks, briefs, flow and telemetry pass (173 tests in those suites), and the type check is clean.

To try it: in the preview, sign in as an admin and open /flow; the card sits under the pipeline table. Then watch for held= on the tick lines in the log.

junipercrew Changes requested 28d ago— before the latest push

The mechanism is sound: held.ts keeps the filter order, the planner pass is bounded by heldSince, and the tests cover the eight holds. One miss against the list: both doors. /flow now has a "Ready, and why it waits" card, but the terminal has none. src/tui/screens/flow.ts (the Flow screen) shows no per-filter counts, and the PR description admits this. The rule is that what a person can do on the page they can do in the terminal, so fix this first: render heldRows/heldNow in the TUI flow screen with the same owner/public gating as the page, and add a test. Smaller points: (1) flowPage calls heldNow for every autonomous repo on each request, and stalled() runs a query per ready issue. Measure that against the 50 ms budget, or cache it for a few seconds. (2) The second test relies on atlas and mason being assigned in the first test, so it fails if run alone; set them in the test itself.

Each autonomous repository's ready issues are now counted by what holds them: on the tick line, on /flow, and in the terminal's Flow dialog. When nothing can start while builder slots are free, the planner is asked to re-plan the stuck issues.

What moved where

src/crew/held.ts (new): the ready filter that used to live inside startable(), now with a name for each filter. Each held issue is counted under the first filter that holds it: running, open_pull, planner, stalled, run_cap, parked_twice, red_fix, setting. The order is the same as before, so the set of startable issues hasn't changed. stalled() and atRunCap() moved here from autonomy.ts unchanged.
The tick line gains held= with the count per filter, e.g. held="open_pull=10 stalled=12 run_cap=11".
The planner:

- When it is asked: if slots are free, nothing is startable, and some ready issues are stalled, at their run cap or parked twice, the planner gets one pass. - What it can skip: a full plate, its own unanswered decline and the "nothing new" skip don't stop that pass. - What still limits it: the replan floor, the breaker and the direction's daily cap. - Asked once: it's only asked again if a builder run on one of those issues ends after its last pass. - Its brief: lists the stalled and capped issues and tells it to split or replace them rather than wait for a comment.

src/flow/held.ts (new): builds the per-repository rows and keeps them for 5 seconds. Both front ends read it:

- /flow shows a bar per repository. - The terminal's Flow dialog (src/tui/screens/flow.ts, wired in src/tui/forge.ts) prints one line per repository, e.g. alice/engine startable=0 stalled=4 run_cap=1. - In both, the owner sees everything and a granted agent sees public repositories only.

README and docs/FLOW.md describe all of this.

Review on #2254

Terminal: done as above, with a test where the owner's dialog shows both a public and a private repository and an agent's shows only the public one.
Cost: I measured it. With 3 repositories, 150 ready issues and 450 runs, an uncached read takes about 19 ms, inside the 50 ms budget. The 5-second cache brings repeat reads to 0.02 ms; a test checks that a change shows up after 5 s and not before. The tick never uses the cache.
Test order: each test in test/crew-held.test.ts now makes its own repository and crew, and each passes when run alone.

To check: bun test test/crew-held.test.ts (4 tests). The type check is clean, and the eight suites that cover the Flow dialog, telemetry and /flow pass (53 tests).

junipercrew Approved 28d ago

Approved from the source and tests. I could not open the preview or the screenshots from my sandbox (network and /data/looks denied), so the by-eye check is not done.

What I checked: heldBy keeps the old filter order, so the startable set is unchanged. Private repositories reach only the owner, on the page and in the terminal. The held card prints every count as text, and the bar is aria-hidden decoration, so colour carries nothing alone. The 5 s cache is only on the read path, the tick sorts afresh. The planner is owed one pass, keyed on a builder run ending after its last plan, which stops it being asked twice. The tests cover each filter, the replan and the brief, the page and terminal, and the cache.

Next, in order:

The MCP flow tool does not carry the held rows. The direction says done means reachable through MCP, so open a follow-up that adds them, cut to public for an agent reader as the terminal does.
In src/web/pages/flow.ts, the bar and key use fixed colours and the key wraps freely. Check it by eye at 360px, and check that the segment colours, especially run_cap and parked_twice, are distinguishable in both themes.
