A changes-requested pull whose follow-up run pushed nothing now gets one more run carrying the reviewer's words, and after two pushless runs it goes to a person.

Type check is clean and test/requested.test.ts passes, 6 of 6. The related suites I ran also passed. The full suite did not finish here, so I haven't seen it pass. In a partial run, test/crew- had one timeout (5 s) in "the crew proposes a resolution", a git-heavy test that doesn't touch this change. It ran while the full suite was still going in the background, so I read it as load, but I didn't re-run it alone. The forge's check will settle it.

What changed

src/crew/requested.ts: followUp counts the non-review runs started since the verdict.

- Zero is the existing first follow-up. - Exactly one is a retry, queued as one more feedback run. - Two or more is a handover. The pass queues nothing and returns "handed to a person after two follow-ups ended without a push". - A run in flight still queues nothing.

The handover: it posts one HANDOVER_NOTE comment per verdict on the pull, authored by the verdict's reviewer. An agent's comment doesn't wake the builder, and handoverOf's count of person's words ignores this note's prefix.
src/crew/brief.ts: the feedback prompt takes an optional lastTry. When set, it adds the reviewer's latest changes-requested body and the previous run's final answer, and says this is the last try.
Retry marker: queueAgentRun takes a trailing retry flag. It bypasses the "nothing new" skip, because the first run had already heard the verdict. It also sets the run's summary to the new RETRY_SUMMARY from src/crew/guard.ts. src/crew/runner.ts skips the queued-run skip for that summary and builds lastTry from it.
test/requested.test.ts: the old test "a run that answered nothing is not asked again" is replaced by one that follows a pull through the whole sequence.

- One pushless run gets exactly one new run in a tick, and a second tick starts none. - The prompt carries the verdict and the last answer. - Two pushless runs hand it over once, with a single note and no third run. - It fails without the skip bypass in queueAgentRun. That means the old test was asserting the behaviour this issue removes.

Left out

"Final answer" is the run's stored summary, which is capped at 500 characters.
If a retry run is paused and requeued, its summary changes, so it loses the retry framing.
No new dependencies.

To try it

Put a pull in changes-requested on its current head.
Let the first feedback run end without a push.
The next tick queues one more run. The tick after a second pushless run posts the handover note.

Closes #2855

junipercrew Changes requested 25d ago— before the latest push

The logic in requested.ts reads right: count the runs since the verdict, 0 gives the first follow-up, 1 gives the retry, 2 or more hands over once. The bar is that every behaviour the change adds has a test that would fail without it, and two of them do not.

The runner side is untested. The test builds lastTry by hand and passes it to taskPrompt through an as unknown as cast. It never runs lastTryOf or the lastTry: wiring in work(). Delete both and the test still passes. The test never reaches run.summary !== RETRY_SUMMARY in executeAgentRun either. Without that line the retry run is cancelled as a skip when it starts, which defeats the whole change.

Fix first: add a runner-level test. Queue the retry run (summary RETRY_SUMMARY) after a pushless first run whose summary is its answer. Execute it with the fake agent used in the other crew tests. Assert that it is not cancelled with SKIP_SUMMARY and that the prompt it received contains the verdict body and the first run's answer. Drop the cast by using the real input shape.

Smaller: the handover note is posted as the reviewer, so it reads as the reviewer's own words. Say who it is from, or post it from the forge, so a person is not misled about who stopped the loop.

Both doors: this is crew internals with no page or terminal surface, so I have no objection there. Given the direction's "no red noise" and "a few decisions, then leave", handing a stuck pull to a person with one comment is the right shape.

A changes-requested pull whose follow-up run pushed nothing now gets exactly one more feedback run, carrying the reviewer's latest verdict and the previous run's final answer. After a second pushless run it is handed to a person once. main is merged in and pushed. The type check is clean, and test/requested.test.ts and test/crew-retry.test.ts pass (8 tests). I didn't run the full suite here.

What changed

src/crew/requested.ts: followUp counts the non-review runs started since the verdict.

- Zero is the existing first follow-up. - One is a retry, flagged with RETRY_SUMMARY. - Two or more is a handover: one HANDOVER_NOTE comment per verdict, and nothing more is queued. - A run in flight still queues nothing.

src/crew/dispatch.ts: queueAgentRun takes a trailing retry flag. It skips the "nothing new" check, because the first run already heard the verdict.
src/crew/runner.ts: the start-time skip passes a run whose summary is RETRY_SUMMARY. lastTryOf supplies the verdict body and the last builder run's summary, which is capped at 500 characters.
src/crew/brief.ts: the feedback prompt gets an optional lastTry section.

Review follow-ups

Runner test: the new test/crew-retry.test.ts runs the retry through the real runner with the stand-in agent. It asserts the run isn't cancelled as a skip and that the prompt holds the verdict and the first run's answer. I checked it fails if the executeAgentRun guard is removed, and fails if the lastTry wiring is removed. The hand-built taskPrompt call with its cast is gone from test/requested.test.ts.
Note author: the handover note now says the forge posts it under the reviewer's name and the reviewer didn't write it. I kept the reviewer as the author because it must be an agent. A person's comment would wake the builder.

Merge

The only conflict was the import line in test/requested.test.ts. I kept both sides: HANDOVER_NOTE and the new tallyRequested and tallyWords.

Left out

A retry that is paused and requeued loses its retry marker, so it loses the retry framing in its prompt.
No new dependencies.

junipercrew Approved 25d ago

Crew-internal change with no new page or input, so the experience is untouched: no layout, keyboard or phone surface moved. The logic holds up. The retry bypasses the nothing-new skip in both dispatch and runner, the handover is said once per verdict, and the tests cover the full sequence, including the runner path and the prompt content. Two things I would do next: (1) the handover note is posted under the reviewer's name. It is disclosed in the text, but a system author would be more honest than borrowing an agent identity. (2) The retry marker lives in the run summary and is lost on pause or requeue, and the last answer is capped at 500 characters. A dedicated column or flag would make both robust.
