f6b3: re-stage automation (advisory plan + forge-safe executor) for the staged-staleness livelock#689
Conversation
…R2 conflict (f6b3 incr 1) f6b3 panel O1 (advisory-first) + N2 (blocking recovery message). When a PR2 (staged->main) is CONFLICTING (staged ref stale vs an advanced default branch), emit an explicit BLOCKING re-stage plan instead of the terse one-liner: do-NOT-reuse-the-spent-source-branch, create a FRESH branch, rebase onto origin/<default>, delete the orphaned staged ref (REQUIRES confirmation), re-run, and a re-review-required warning (re-staging rewrites SHAs). Pure `_restage_recovery_plan` function (no side effects); the destructive auto-re-stage + orphaned-staged GC (flock/ownership + human-gated remote deletion) is a SEPARATE later increment per the panel's advisory-first condition. RED->GREEN: test-merge-to-main-resume-inc008.sh T20-T26 (31/0). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ntness + fresh-branch naming (f6b3 incr 2) Pure functions encoding the panel's hard conditions for the auto-re-stage: - _restage_staged_ref_safe_to_delete <pr1_state> <pr2_state>: a remote staged ref may be deleted ONLY with forge-side proof it is a terminal orphan (PR1 MERGED + no live PR2). NEVER the local 0-commits-ahead signal (which cannot distinguish a spent ref from one another session just created). Fail-safe on OPEN / CLOSED- without-merge / UNKNOWN. - _restage_fresh_branch_name <source>: derive a FRESH branch (increment trailing -N, else -restage2 suffix) so the spent source is never reused (the merged-PR push guard rejects it). RED->GREEN: test-merge-to-main-resume-inc008.sh T27-T35 (42/0). These gate the destructive auto-executor (separate increment). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…-safe-gated destructive path (f6b3 incr 2) - _restage_assess (pure): advisory plan + computed FRESH branch + SAFE/UNSAFE deletion verdict from the forge-proof predicate. No mutation; injectable states. - _restage_execute: ADVISORY by default (assess + print; early-returns BEFORE any git op, so normal runs/tests never mutate). Performs the destructive re-stage ONLY when DSO_RESTAGE_EXECUTE=1 — under flock (no cross-session race), with --force-with-lease, and deletes the orphaned staged ref ONLY when _restage_staged_ref_safe_to_delete says SAFE (MERGED PR1 + no live PR2; never the local 0-ahead signal). PR states read from the forge (overridable for tests). RED->GREEN: inc008 T36-T39 (47/0). Safety-critical decisions (safe-to-delete, fresh naming, advisory-default early-return) are unit-tested; the DSO_RESTAGE_EXECUTE=1 git/gh glue is integration-tested (gated, unreachable without the explicit flag).

Looking for one thing? Review this PR in Change Stack to search files, summaries, diffs, and code without losing your place. WalkthroughThis PR introduces a deterministic recovery subsystem for PR2 conflicts in the staged-* promotion flow. Five new helper functions—covering advisory planning, deletion-safety predicates, fresh branch naming, and assessment—combine to support an execution layer that re-stages failed promotions on clean branches under operator control, deleting orphaned refs only when forge state permits.

[Source-file-grepping] Test uses grep to verify that specific text patterns exist in the stdout of _restage_recovery_plan rather than exercising the function's actual behavior under different inputs and asserting the resulting side-effects or return values. Tests T20 through T26 grep for strings like 'do not reuse', 'spent', 'fresh branch', 'rebase.*origin/main', the staged ref name itself, 'confirm', 're-review|review again|SHAs change', and absence of bare git mutation lines. These are source-file-grepping assertions on the function's prose output, not behavioral tests. The function should be tested by: (1) verifying it produces the correct advisory text format for different staged_ref and default_branch inputs (e.g., does it correctly substitute the actual ref/branch names in the output?), (2) asserting the function has no side effects (returns 0, makes no git calls, does not modify state), and (3) for the T26 advisory-only check, asserting the function does NOT execute mutations, not by grepping for the absence of 'git push' lines in stdout but by verifying the caller is responsible for deciding whether to execute. The grep-for-prose pattern will fail on any refactoring that rewords the advisory message (even if the reworded message is equally correct and more precise), producing false positives that erode test suite trust.

[Source-file-grepping] Tests T27–T32 assess _restage_staged_ref_safe_to_delete by exercising it with different PR state inputs and asserting return codes (via `if _restage_staged_ref_safe_to_delete"..." ; then _pass`, etc.). This is correct behavioral testing — the function's observable output is its exit code (0 = safe, 1 = unsafe), and the tests verify the correct exit code for different PR state combinations. However, the grep assertion T26 (`if grep -qE "^[[:space:]]*git (push|branch -D|rebase)" <<<"$_plan"`) is source-file-grepping on the stdout prose of _restage_recovery_plan to verify it does NOT contain bare executable git commands. This is a change-detector: if the advisory message is refactored to include an inline code example or a differently-formatted git command line (e.g., 'Example: `git rebase -X ours`'), the grep will false-positive even though the function is still advisory-only. The correct test is to verify that _restage_recovery_plan makes no git calls itself (no side effects), not to grep for the absence of git commands in the printed advisory text.

[Source-file-grepping] Tests T33–T35 call _restage_fresh_branch_name with a single input and assert the string return value using bash string equality (`[[ "$_n1" == "expected" ]]`). This is correct behavioral testing — the function's observable output is the returned branch name string. However, this subset of tests (T33–T35) should verify that the function correctly increments a trailing `-N` suffix and appends `-restage2` when no numeric suffix exists. The tests as written are not source-file-grepping; they directly assert the return value. However, the test coverage is incomplete: it does not verify edge cases such as empty input, branches with multiple numeric components (e.g., 'feat-1-2-3'), or very long names. This is not a source-file-grepping defect per se, but a test-quality defect under the 'existence-only' or 'incomplete-coverage' category if the function's behavior on edge inputs is not also tested elsewhere. However, reviewing the cited lines, T33–T35 are correct behavioral assertions and should NOT be flagged as source-file-grepping. Retracting this finding.

…e executor (f6b3) - [important] remove `git rebase -X ours` from _restage_execute: a blanket 'ours' silently discarded the feature's hunks on a real (non-version) content conflict (data loss) and made the "resolve manually" path dead. The executor now auto-completes only the clean (no-conflict) case; ANY conflict aborts and is left to the operator per the advisory plan (no silent resolution, no data loss). - [minor] replace the flock(1)+fd lock with a portable mkdir-lock + RETURN-trap cleanup: fixes the leaked fd (lock no longer held for the shell's lifetime) AND the macOS portability gap (flock(1) is util-linux / homebrew-only on Darwin). - [minor] `git checkout -b` (not -B): never clobber an existing fresh branch from a prior interrupted re-stage; abort instead. Unit suite unchanged (inc008 47/0); shellcheck clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

f6b3 — re-stage automation (panel O1) for the staged-staleness livelock
Implements the panel-approved (ticket

Wired into the recovery path (replaces the terse one-liner). Subsumes N2._restage_staged_ref_safe_to_delete(delete only with MERGED PR1 + no live PR2; never the local 0-ahead signal; fail-safe) +_restage_fresh_branch_name(never reuse the spent source)._restage_assess(pure) +_restage_execute: advisory by default (early-returns before any git op); destructive re-stage runs ONLY underDSO_RESTAGE_EXECUTE=1, underflock, with--force-with-lease, deleting the orphaned staged ref ONLY when forge-proof-safe.Bypass note:

Panel conditions honored: advisory-first, human-gated remote-ref deletion (forge-proof, not 0-ahead), flock/ownership, preserves INC-008 + merged-PR-guard.
