…to go A marker in the wrong POSITION is indistinguishable from no marker, and the miss is silent until CI. Measured on #2883: the marker sat inline in the middle of a conditional expression, attached to the wrong AST node, and three reviewed literals scored as new debt (self-healing.ts 86 -> 89). The message the tool printed said "record why at the site with a DELIBERATE-LITERAL marker" — which I had done. The second added line is there because `pnpm lint` does NOT run this census; CI's Lint job does. So the usual "lint passed locally, push" loop cannot catch either mistake, and the tool is the only place the reader will see this in time. Verified by inducing a real failure (a temporary `t.column === "in-review"` guard) and reading the printed output, not by assuming the string lands. Fusion-Task-Id: KB-SELF-HEALING-QUERIES

How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

…olds 23 PRs) (#2944) **Consolidation of 23 open PRs into one.** Every one shared a single root cause and mostly touched a single file; 23 CI runs for that was indefensible. Folds and supersedes: #2867 #2869 #2876 #2879 #2883 #2891 #2899 #2901 #2902 #2905 #2906 #2914 #2916 #2918 #2919 #2920 #2922 #2927 #2929 #2932 #2934 #2937 #2939. (#2865, #2882, #2897, #2909, #2912 already merged and are not re-folded.) ## The root cause A self-healing sweep selects its work with `listTasks({ column: "in-review" })`. On a board whose lanes are renamed that returns **nothing**, so the sweep never runs — no error, no log line, no failed task. Several sweeps had already had their *predicates* converted to resolved lanes, which dropped a census count and changed nothing, because the query above the loop had already returned an empty list. **26 sweeps converted.** Each one: read the project's columns for the role, then decide each card against **its own** workflow, with the legacy ids unioned so a board mid-rename is never skipped. ## What each sweep stops silently failing to do | | | | --- | --- | | stale merger status | one finished card held the **merge queue** for everything behind it | | stale `blockedBy` / completed-task release | dependents stayed blocked on work that had already finished — the board stops moving | | workspace partial lands | a task left with **some repos merged and some not** | | mid-merge retry stamp | the card stalled *and* the operator's manual Retry was gated by the same stamp | | in-progress limbo / no-progress failures | dead cards held a work slot forever | | partial-progress retry | real work parked failed with its **retry budget unspent** | | orphaned-execution signal | visibility only — the one signal pointing at an orphan went silent | | zero-commit audit | went **half-blind**: the error arm kept working, the lane arm did not | Plus: ghost review cards, transient merge failures, misclassified failures, branch misbinding, missing-worktree failures, merged-but-unfinished finalization, done-metadata repair, self-owned branch conflicts, orphan-only scope violations, post-done wedges, idle assigned agents, PR-conflict worktree ownership, and orphaned workspace worktrees. ## Two defects the conversion itself introduced, both caught and fixed 1. **Missed pairs.** Widening a read without converting the guards beneath it is *worse than not converting*: the sweep starts admitting renamed-board cards and then mis-decides every one. Review caught a second guard on a re-read row; the audit that triggered found **five more**, one of which gates the `reviewProof` triple-proof — a renamed review card would have been moved backward with the safety check silently skipped. Column guards 86 → 81. 2. **Duplicate processing.** The literal reads were disjoint by construction; resolved reads are not, so a column carrying two role flags put one card in two buckets — duplicate moves, duplicate audit rows, inflated counts. Both now have ratchets. `self-healing-converted-sweeps-have-no-literal-lane-guards.test.ts` **derives** its sweep list (a sweep counts as converted when its body calls `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`), so it cannot go stale, and it carries two positive controls because a broken regex finds no offenders and a broken derivation iterates nothing — an empty loop registers no tests and reads green. ## Deliberately unchanged - 22 `moveTask` destinations carrying `recoveryRehome: true` — `moves.ts` exempts these so a card stranded in an undeclared column stays rescuable. - One literal in `clearStaleBlockedBy`'s log-dedup closure (allowed by name in the ratchet, with the reason). - `surfaceInReviewStalls` — hot list-read path, needs a batched prefetch; that is a performance design decision, not a conversion. - `scheduler.ts` and `replan-target.ts` — built on `resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync`, which returns the default IR for every task in production. Converting there produces inert code. ## The fold itself is worth one note All 23 branches appended to the **same test file at the same anchor**, so every automatic strategy — git 3-way, `merge-file --union`, and three hand-written resolvers — interleaved them mid-block. Two attempts committed conflict markers before I caught it. The file is therefore **reconstructed**: head authored once, body assembled as the union of each branch's own intact top-level segments keyed by test title, with the nested `already-merged hard blocker` describe appended whole (flattening it orphaned its helper). Verified by *parsing after every step* rather than trusting the merge — which is how each interleaving was caught. ## Verification `pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71. Scoped suites 592 passed (self-healing, the blindness suite at 68 cases, the ratchet, and the notification suite). `tsc` engine clean; `pnpm lint`, `check:changesets`, `lifecycle-column-census --strict` and `check-sql-column-literals` all clean, each run explicitly. Each folded conversion was individually revert-proven on its original branch — the read reverted alone, and the per-card verdict reverted alone — and those measurements are recorded in the commit messages carried into this branch. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…d board (#2964) **The worst symptom in this family: the branch landed, and the board says the task failed.** `project-engine`'s merge-confirmed finalization spread the task's **real** column into `getTaskHardMergeBlocker` with no `reviewColumns`, so the identity check ran against the literal `in-review`. On a renamed board it returned `task is in 'signoff', must be in 'in-review'`, and the caller parked the card: ``` status: "failed" error: "Merge confirmed but finalization blocked: task is in 'signoff', must be in 'in-review'" ``` For work that had already merged. ## Its sibling had already solved this `auto-merge-finalization.ts` passes the **review-eligible sentinel** instead of the card's own column, with the reasoning recorded at that site: `getTaskHardMergeBlocker` asks *"is this card blocked by anything other than where it sits?"*, and its callers are recovery paths for landed work that a graph crash can leave resting in any column. `project-engine` simply never got the same treatment. ## One name instead of two spellings Rather than write the sentinel a second time, it is exported once as `REVIEW_ELIGIBLE_SENTINEL_COLUMN` next to the helper whose contract gives it meaning, and both recovery paths use it. **Two sites independently spelling a magic value is how one of them came to be missing it** — that is the actual root cause here, not the literal itself. This also answers the census, which flagged the new literal — correctly. Its guidance (which I wrote, in #2909) is to hoist a deliberate literal into a *declaration*, where a `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker actually attaches, instead of leaving it mid-expression where the marker is silently ignored. The shared constant is exactly that, and it lowers `auto-merge-finalization`'s literal count too. ## Revert result | | reverted → | | --- | --- | | sentinel replaced by the card's own renamed column | reproduces the shipped string | The middle test asserts that string deliberately — it is what landed in `task.error`, so a regression reports what the operator would actually have seen. A third case checks the sentinel does **not** suppress genuine blockers: incomplete steps still block finalization in any lane. These drive the helper directly; reaching `project-engine`'s finalization end to end needs a live engine, a merge run and a real repo, while the defect is entirely in *what the blocker is asked*. ## Verification `pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; `project-engine` + `auto-merge-finalization` + the new suite, 207; `tsc` clean on core and engine; lint, census `--strict`, FNXC gate, changesets all clean. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Fixed merge-confirmed tasks being finalized correctly when boards use renamed workflow columns. * Prevented already-merged tasks from being incorrectly marked as failed due to custom review-column names. * Preserved enforcement of genuine incomplete-step blockers. * **Tests** * Added coverage for finalization on renamed lanes and legitimate merge blockers. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
