   Synthetic smoke completed through child #28 and PR #29.

   Evidence:

   • Discovery, route, and claim: Sandcastle synthetic smoke: staged documentation marker #28 (documentation + ready-for-agent) was selected as implementation and assigned before sandbox setup. The issue comments record claim, then sandbox readiness.
   • Automation gaps surfaced: attempts 1–2 escalated visibly for invalid inline promptArgs, SSH push configuration, stale Vitest worktree discovery, and a missing model result block. Fixes landed in 3341b44, 24328c2, 6b1411d, and 640d222; no step was silently skipped.
   • Parallel review + fix loop: pass 1 reported standards=pass, spec=fail, check=true, e2e=true; the fix commit f294edfb replaced SMOKE_PENDING with SMOKE_VERIFIED.
   • Final review + validation: pass 2 reported both axes pass and runner-owned pnpm run check plus pnpm run test:e2e as true. Reports: https://github.com/Whamp/pi-token-burden/tree/sandcastle/issue-28/.sandcastle/reports/issue-28/pass-2
   • Landing/reporting: the runner pushed sandcastle/issue-28, opened PR sandcastle: issue #28 — Sandcastle synthetic smoke: staged documentation marker #29, commented the PR/artifact URLs, closed Sandcastle synthetic smoke: staged documentation marker #28, and removed its assignee.
   • Route contract: the 13 routing tests cover research precedence, implementation kinds, exclusions, real GitHub payload shape, and deterministic ordering.
   • Queue continuation: a fresh pnpm run sandcastle after completion returned Sandcastle AFK queue is empty.

   PR: #29

   Synthetic AFK smoke completed successfully through #28 and PR #29.

   Observed evidence:

   • discovered unassigned ready-for-agent + documentation issue Sandcastle synthetic smoke: staged documentation marker #28;
   • claimed before sandbox work and unassigned at terminal state;
   • routed to implementation;
   • launched Standards and Spec reviewers in parallel;
   • pass 1: Standards pass, Spec fail on SMOKE_PENDING;
   • resumed a fix pass that replaced it with SMOKE_VERIFIED;
   • pass 2: Standards pass, Spec pass;
   • runner-owned pnpm run check passed on both passes (193 tests in final pass);
   • runner-owned pnpm run test:e2e passed on both passes (34/34);
   • persisted review/validation JSON for both passes;
   • pushed sandcastle/issue-28, opened PR sandcastle: issue #28 — Sandcastle synthetic smoke: staged documentation marker #29, commented the result, and closed Sandcastle synthetic smoke: staged documentation marker #28.

   The first two attempts also proved fail-closed automation-gap handling and drove fixes for inherited prompt arguments, authenticated Git push, worktree test discovery, and missing model result blocks.
