The plan for the six follow-ups to CI repair (v0.2.0): docs/plans/2026-09-28-001-feat-factory-quality-followups-plan.md.

Unit What
U1 Record spend on every agent phase exit. Today, failed and aborted phases drop their cost.
U8 Keep publish history across retries. A retry currently erases the stop code.
U2 / U3 GET /api/report and jig report: repair success, rounds, held rate, flaky re-runs, spend per clean accept
U4 Declared re-runs for flaky Actions checks, before a repair round is spent
U5 One opt-in parallel read-only reviewer group
U6 The two CI repair test gaps: lease revival after sleep, and trace close on release
U7 Dogfooding runbook

It also records the decision to keep repair off the publish-only retry and off ci_timeout (KTD1), with thresholds for revisiting that decision.

Reviewed by five passes: coherence, feasibility, scope, adversarial and security. The review found 5 P1s, including that the parallel group's claimed equivalence to sequential review was false, and that re-runs would fire while sibling jobs were still running. Every finding is resolved in the plan text.

Each unit lands as its own PR against main, never stacked.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a plan for potential CI workflow improvements, including reporting, optional failed-check reruns, and parallel read-only review phases.
    • The plan also covers accounting and retry behavior, testing follow-ups, and a dogfooding trial. These are documented proposals, not shipped features.

Six follow-ups in one plan: record all agent spend and keep publish
history across retries so jig report can measure the factory; declared
re-runs for flaky Actions checks; one opt-in parallel read-only reviewer
group; the two CI repair test gaps; a written decision to keep repair
off publish retry and ci_timeout; and a dogfooding runbook. Reviewed by
coherence, feasibility, scope, adversarial, and security passes; every
finding is resolved in place.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds a plan for six factory quality follow-ups. It specifies spend and publish accounting, a read-only report API and CLI, optional Actions reruns, parallel read-only agent phases, CI-repair tests, and a dogfooding trial.

Factory quality follow-ups

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scope and shared execution contracts

The plan specifies spend events for agent-phase exits and retention rules for replaced publish summaries.
Report API and CLI
docs/plans/2026-09-28-001-feat-factory-quality-followups-plan.md
The plan defines report sources, metrics, classifications, and invalid-input behavior. It also specifies jig report options and output.
Failed Actions reruns

The plan specifies rerun configuration, eligibility, lease handling, CI waits, and separate rerun records.
Parallel read-only agent phases
docs/plans/2026-09-28-001-feat-factory-quality-followups-plan.md
The plan defines group validation, isolation, execution, ordered result merging, repair handling, and worktree boundaries.
Test gaps and trial sequencing

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/plans/2026-09-28-001-feat-factory-quality-followups-plan.md: Introduces the plan’s scope, requirements, and problem statement: measure all returned-send spend while counting killed sends as unmetered; report job, publish, repair, rerun, and spend metrics through a read-only API; preserve publish history; rerun eligible Actions failures; define parallel reviewer behavior; cover two CI-repair test gaps; and provide a trial runbook. Sets rerun budgets to 1–3 and requires parallel groups to contain consecutive, read-only agent phases with distinct owner roles and compatible guards.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/plans/2026-09-28-001-feat-factory-quality-followups-plan.md: Records decisions for deferring retry and ci_timeout repair until their respective rates exceed 10%, and for emitting spend on every agent-phase exit. Defines report sources and clean-accept accounting, including unreadable results; specifies per-job rerun and lease behavior; and details parallel-group isolation, concurrency state, worktree enforcement, terminal-exit precedence, process-group tracking, and keeping the stock factory definition out of parallel mode.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/plans/2026-09-28-001-feat-factory-quality-followups-plan.md: Adds flow diagrams describing how failed CI is rerun on the same pushed head before repair when eligible, and how parallel reviewers use private views and HOME directories, enforce the worktree boundary once, merge in declared order, and resolve repair edges after joining.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/plans/2026-09-28-001-feat-factory-quality-followups-plan.md: Defines U1 to emit agent_end on success, failure, death, send-budget exhaustion, ceiling, and cancellation; include outcome and unmetered-send count; and include runtime-error usage before returning. Specifies validation of resumed-send cost accumulation and tests for event content, ordering, and killed sends.

- **Requirements:** R15
- **Dependencies:** none
- **Files:** `internal/worker/publish.go` (`withPublishSummary`), `internal/worker/publish_ci_test.go`
- **Approach:** When `withPublishSummary` replaces a `publish` value that is already a summary object, append the old object to a `publish_history` array first. Keep at most the last 5 entries, and keep the result within `protocol.MaxResultBytes` by dropping the oldest history entries before degrading anything else. First publishes, whose prior value is the string `"not_attempted"`, add no history.

Preserve stop-code and re-run history beyond five retries.

U8 explicitly allows six retries to retain only the last five summaries. RetryPublish reuses the same accepted_unpublished attempt, and the contract defines no retry budget. This can discard older stop codes and ci_reruns records required by R15 and U2. publish_ci_repairs separately preserves pushed rounds, but it does not preserve those discarded publish fields. Retain the report-required fields outside this cap, or revise R15, U2, and KTD1 to disclose bounded history and truncation.
