Deterministic Validator approval for exact head b6c6a959a631fbcfbeb968852778ad0d3aa81b82.
Ticket: ticket-231
Correlation ID: planfile-pr-53-ticket-231
Model: zai/glm-5.3
Reviewed diff chunks: 1
Advisory LLM verdict: APPROVE
Advisory summary: Reviewed all 1 diff chunk(s). Adds conditional update/complete endpoints with required expected_updated_at, capability advertisement, and thorough regression tests covering validation, happy path, stale-write races (including interleaved mutation), and the completion receipt gate across both storage backends. Race safety is enforced inside the existing store mutation lock via update_ticket's expected_updated_at, which the interleaving test demonstrates.
Advisory findings: none
The LLM output above is advisory and was not used as the approval trust root.

A project observer can finish reading a ticket before a worker records a failure, then overwrite the worker's execution state or receipts with its stale result. Add
POST /tickets/{id}/update-if-currentandcomplete-if-current, both requiring the observedupdated_atand enforcing it inside the existing store mutation lock.Both endpoints reuse the current validation and event paths, including the governed completion receipt gate. Missing revisions are rejected; conflicting writes return 409 without a change event. Dedicated endpoints prevent older servers from silently ignoring a precondition. Existing routes remain compatible.
Validation: 104 API and lifecycle tests passed, including stale-write interleavings in YAML and sharded YAML storage; Ruff passed for the new regression suite. Dependency for Subactor Core ticket-231; deploy this additive API before the Core conditional writer.
