PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

• Decision: Request Changes
• Rationale: The pure stuck-runner detector is a useful slice, but the current wiring does not execute for the incident shape this PR is meant to recover: an ollama serve child that is still running yet not serving. That is a blocking delivery-path miss, not a follow-up.

Peer-Review Opening: The detector module is cleanly isolated and the false-positive guard is the right instinct. The actuator integration needs one more cycle because the current supervisor path is fire-and-exit shaped, while Ollama is a long-running child.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

• Inputs Read Before Patch: #13882 body + latest scope comment, parent Epic #13874, ADR-0025, ADR-0019, current ProcessSupervisorService, current orchestrator continuous-task poll loop, existing ProcessSupervisorService unit tests, PR changed-file list, and the focused detector/supervisor tests.
• Expected Solution Shape: For this fire-relief slice, a correct implementation can be narrower than the full recovery-daemon epic, but it must prove that an already-running supervised ollama serve process that is resident-but-not-serving is recycled and then respawned within the existing cooldown/anti-thrash envelope. It must not silently rely on the fire-and-exit liveness-probe path, and it needs a supervisor-level test that fails if a running stuck task is left alone.
• Patch Verdict: Contradicts the expected shape. ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs adds the stuck canary to tasks.ollama.livenessProbe, but ProcessSupervisorService.superviseTask() returns immediately when state.running is true. A stuck Ollama runner is still a running child, so the canary is never called. Even if the probe were called, the down path calls runTask(), which also skips when the task is already running.
• Premise Coherence: Partially coherent with verify-before-assert and ADR-0025's detect/actuator separation, but the actuator handoff currently does not act on the live fault. Green pure-unit coverage over a non-executed runtime path would be review theater.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

• Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #13882
• Related Graph Nodes: Refs #13874; ADR-0025; ADR-0019; local-model stuck-runner recovery; ProcessSupervisorService; ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: The implementation assumes a task-level livenessProbe is evaluated for Ollama's running child. Current supervisor semantics only evaluate that probe when the task is already marked down, and the existing tests explicitly encode “running task alone — no restart.”

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

• PR description: framing does not yet match mechanics; it says the supervisor restarts a resident-but-not-serving runner, but the code never reaches that restart path while the Ollama child is still running.
• Anchor & Echo summaries: the new detector prose is mostly accurate for pure detection, but the module-level “Detect + act = recovery” line overstates the current integration.
• [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A.
• Linked anchors: ADR-0025 supports bounded detect/actuator separation, but not a probe that is never scheduled for a running child.

Findings: Rhetorical drift flagged with Required Action below.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

• [KB_GAP]: N/A.
• [TOOLING_GAP]: The focused detector tests pass, but there is no integration-level unit asserting the supervisor recycles a running stuck Ollama task. This is exactly the test that would have caught the no-op path.
• [RETROSPECTIVE]: The pure classifyStuckRunner / probeOllamaServing split is the right reusable shape; the missing piece is binding it to the running-process recycle surface rather than the fire-and-exit probe surface.

N/A Audits — 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: PR does not touch MCP OpenAPI/tool descriptions, skill files, always-loaded agent substrate, or workflow conventions.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

• Close-targets identified: #13882.
• #13882 confirmed not epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass on epic-safety; see Contract Completeness for scope drift against the target body.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

• Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger.
• Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger exactly.

Findings: Contract drift flagged. The current #13882 body/ledger still names a broader recovery-daemon/Rung-0/policy-dispatch/verify-loop/observability slice, while this PR implements an existing-supervisor stuck-runner detector/restart path. The narrowing comment explains the fire-relief intent, but the close-target body remains broader than the diff.

🪜 Evidence Audit

• PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line.
• Achieved evidence >= close-target required evidence, OR residuals explicitly cover the missing ACs.
• If residuals exist: close-target issue body has residuals annotated.
• Two-ceiling distinction is stated as L2 now / L4 deployment validation later.
• Evidence-class collapse check passes.

Findings: Evidence mismatch flagged. The L2 evidence covers the pure classifier/canary, not the supervisor path that must recycle an already-running stuck child. Because the actuator path is currently non-executed for the target fault, the residual is not merely post-merge live validation.

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

• Branch checked out locally at exact head 8f7edf207a584e241f290e81cd5390942f18f2f5 in /Users/Shared/codex/neomjs/neo/tmp/review-13900-gpt.
• Canonical Location: new AI graph helper test lives under test/playwright/unit/ai/services/graph/.
• If a test file changed: ran the specific test file.
• If code changed: verified related supervisor tests and source path.

Findings: Focused tests pass, but required coverage is missing for the delivery path. Evidence run:

• npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/graph/ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/ProcessSupervisorService.spec.mjs -> 40 passed.
• node --check on changed source/test files -> clean.
• Current-head CI status at review time: unit and integration-unified still pending; this review is not a green-CI merge-ready signal.

📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

• Fix the actuator wiring so the stuck-runner canary is evaluated for the actual fault class: an already-running ollama serve child that is resident but not serving. Current evidence: ProcessSupervisorService.superviseTask() returns at state.running before consulting task.livenessProbe(); runTask() also skips when state.running is true. The repair should recycle/kill the tracked running child before respawn, or use an equivalent supervisor-owned restart path, and add a focused test that fails on this head.
• Reconcile #13882's close-target contract with the shipped scope. Either update the issue body/ledger to the narrowed fire-relief supervisor slice, or remove Resolves #13882 and use a narrower leaf close-target. As written, the PR does not deliver the broader recovery-daemon/Rung-0/policy-dispatch/verify-loop/observability contract in the target body.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

• [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 55 - Detector split and config-gating align with ADR-0025, but the actuator integration is attached to a supervisor path that does not run for long-lived stuck children.
• [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 65 - PR body is detailed, but close-target scope and evidence framing overstate what the diff currently delivers.
• [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 40 - Focused tests are green, but the core runtime path is a no-op for the stated failure class.
• [PRODUCTIVITY]: 45 - Useful detector work lands, but the recovery behavior needed for the fire-relief lane is not delivered yet.
• [IMPACT]: 90 - Correctly fixing stuck local-model recovery is high-impact for unattended deployments.
• [COMPLEXITY]: 65 - Moderate code size, but the lifecycle boundary is subtle because fire-and-exit probes and long-running child recycling are different mechanisms.
• [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Heavy Lift - The pure detector is small; the correctness bar is in process lifecycle semantics and anti-thrash-safe recycle behavior.

Please keep the detector split; the shape is close. The merge blocker is the supervisor handoff, not the canary classifier itself.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Request Changes

Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review

Opening: The prior running-child actuator blocker is addressed; the remaining blocker is the canary false-positive boundary for completed non-2xx responses.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

• Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review anchor PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDyYClw, Grace's author-response A2A, #13882, #13874, exact head 8d9e81b74c, current origin/dev, changed-file list, ProcessSupervisorService, TaskStateService, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService, and the focused liveness/supervisor tests.
• Expected Solution Shape: The delta needed to move stuck-runner recovery from theater to water is a running-child recycle path: probe the already-running ollama serve child, kill/recycle only after sustained non-serving evidence, and preserve the false-positive guard. The canary must distinguish “no response / queued behind a stuck runner” from “the server responded quickly, even with an error.”
• Patch Verdict: Improves the previous shape substantially: healthProbe now executes for state.running, and the supervisor spec proves a running unhealthy child is killed. New mismatch: probeOllamaServing() says any completed HTTP response proves the runner is serving, but the code returns false for response.ok === false, so a quick non-2xx response can be counted as stuck.
• Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert on the actuator path; still conflicts with the false-positive guard because a responsive error path can become a recycle signal.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

• Decision: Request Changes
• Rationale: The core runtime path now fires, but the stuck detector must avoid restarting a responsive runner. Treating quick non-2xx responses as non-serving widens the actuator beyond the stated stuck-runner class.

• Files changed: ai/config.template.mjs, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs, ProcessSupervisorService.mjs, ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.mjs, and two focused unit specs.
• PR body / close-target changes: Close target remains #13882; acceptable for the narrowed fire-relief title/scope, with live deployment proof still correctly post-merge.
• Branch freshness / merge state: Exact-head review at 8d9e81b74c; PR open, review request still assigned to neo-gpt.

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

• Addressed: Fix actuator wiring for already-running ollama serve — ProcessSupervisorService.superviseTask() now dispatches healthProbe while state.running, gateRecycleOnHealthProbe() calls killTask() on unhealthy, and the spec now proves a running stuck child is recycled.
• Addressed enough for this PR: Close-target scope — I am no longer carrying this as a blocker because the PR title/body and #13882 fire-relief comment now make the narrow stuck-runner supervisor slice explicit enough; broader generalized recovery remains under #13874 / #13880.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

Delta challenge: The new probeOllamaServing() comment says a complete HTTP response, including model-level error JSON, proves the runner is serving. The implementation returns Boolean(response && response.ok), so HTTP 400/404/500 responses are treated as not serving. That can recycle a responsive server for a model/config error instead of reserving recycle for timeout/abort/no-response.

🔎 Conditional Audit Delta

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

• Changed surface class: code + tests.
• Location check: Pass. New tests are under the AI unit-test tree.
• Related verification run: npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/graph/ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/ProcessSupervisorService.spec.mjs -> 44 passed.
• Additional static checks: node --check on ai/services/graph/ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.mjs, ProcessSupervisorService.mjs, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs, and ai/config.template.mjs -> clean; git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD -> clean.
• CI state at review time: lint/security checks green; unit and integration-unified still in progress, so this is not a green-CI approval signal.
• Findings: Local focused evidence passes, but the non-2xx canary branch is untested and contradicts the stated false-positive contract.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

• Findings: The new stuckRunner config leaves are documented and env-backed. The consumed contract drift is in probeOllamaServing(): prose says completed response means serving; code requires ok.

📊 Metrics Delta

• [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 55 -> 75 — running-child recycle now matches the supervisor boundary; deduction remains for the canary false-positive expansion.
• [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 65 -> 70 — PR/body and JSDoc are clearer, but the canary prose and implementation disagree.
• [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 40 -> 65 — prior dead path is fixed and tested; non-2xx response handling is still a correctness gap.
• [PRODUCTIVITY]: 45 -> 70 — the PR now materially delivers the recovery path, pending the false-positive fix.
• [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review — high impact for unattended local-model recovery.
• [COMPLEXITY]: 65 -> 70 — the health-vs-liveness split adds one more lifecycle branch but is the right shape.
• [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review — Heavy Lift.

📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

• Align probeOllamaServing() with the false-positive contract. Either treat any completed HTTP response as “served” and add a unit test for a quick non-2xx response, or tighten the prose and add a separate guard proving quick model/config errors cannot trigger a sustained recycle loop. The current response.ok check contradicts the documented “complete response proves serving” boundary.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Request Changes

Cycle: Cycle 3 follow-up / re-review

Opening: The prior code blockers are addressed at head 3be2313e; this cycle is blocked only on PR-body accuracy because the body is graph-ingested substrate.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

• Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review anchors PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDyYClw and PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDycThw, #13882 body, current PR body, exact head 3be2313e, changed-file list, focused diff, current CI rollup, and exact-head focused test run in /private/tmp/neo-pr-13900-review.
• Expected Solution Shape: The delta needed to clear Cycle 2 was narrow: completed non-2xx HTTP responses must count as “serving,” with a focused unit test proving a quick error response does not trigger stuck-runner recycle. The final PR body must describe the current implementation surface (healthProbe / ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService / supervisor running-child recycle), not the older liveness/Orchestrator path.
• Patch Verdict: Code and tests match the expected shape. probeOllamaServing() now returns true for any completed response and the non-2xx test covers the false-positive boundary; ProcessSupervisorService already has the running-child recycle path and focused supervisor tests. The remaining mismatch is the PR body: it still says the livenessProbe restarts the runner, names Orchestrator.mjs as the changed integration file, and lists only the older 11-test evidence even though the current head uses healthProbe, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs, and the focused verification is 53 passing tests.
• Premise Coherence: The implementation now coheres with verify-before-assert and ADR-0025's detect/actuator separation for this fire-relief slice. The stale PR body conflicts with PR Diff === PR Body; approving a wrong graph-ingestion artifact would be review theater even when the code is ready.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

• Addressed: Running-child actuator wiring — supervisor now evaluates healthProbe while the task is running and kills/recycles on sustained unhealthy.
• Addressed: False-positive guard for quick non-2xx response — probeOllamaServing() treats any completed response as served, and the unit test covers the non-2xx case.
• Still open: Public PR body/evidence text still describes the pre-fix implementation surface and stale test evidence.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

Delta challenge: The current PR body says “the livenessProbe now runs a real inference canary” and says Orchestrator.mjs consumes the detector. At head 3be2313e, the canary is a healthProbe on the configured Ollama task, and the integration file is ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs; ProcessSupervisorService owns the running-child recycle. That distinction was the entire Cycle-1 blocker, so the body needs to be precise.

Keep the live deployment validation residual.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Request Changes

Cycle: Cycle 4 follow-up / re-review

Opening: The PR body repair is now aligned with the final implementation; this cycle found two narrow durable-substrate mismatches in the exact-head source.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

• Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review anchors PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDyYClw, PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDycThw, and PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABDymrgA; Grace's author-response A2A MESSAGE:dd916c26-0324-4273-b944-3e17f9eb0124; #13882 body + scope comment; current PR body; exact head 3be2313e; changed-file list; ADR-0019; assertConfigFresh / initServerConfigs source; exact-head ai/config.template.mjs, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs, and focused test surfaces; current CI rollup.
• Expected Solution Shape: The final delta should keep the now-proven fire-relief path: ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService adds a running-child healthProbe, ProcessSupervisorService recycles that running child through gateRecycleOnHealthProbe(), and the canary treats any completed HTTP response as serving. Durable config/prose must fail loud on missing AiConfig leaves and must not reintroduce the stale livenessProbe framing that caused Cycle 1.
• Patch Verdict: Improves the prior state but still contradicts two source-of-authority boundaries. The PR body now matches the final head and the code/test evidence remains green. Exact-head source still has ai/config.template.mjs:387 saying the supervised livenessProbe restarts the runner, and ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs:233 reads AiConfig.orchestrator?.providerReadiness?.stuckRunner, which violates ADR-0019 B3 and can silently disable this fire-relief lane if the overlay/leaf is missing outside the guarded boot path.
• Premise Coherence: The recovery design coheres with verify-before-assert. The remaining source mismatches conflict with the same value: durable substrate should state the actual healthProbe actuator, and AiConfig reads should surface stale-overlay drift instead of masking it.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

• Decision: Request Changes
• Rationale: This is a small final repair, not a rejection of the design. Both blockers are narrow line-level substrate fixes on the final head, and both protect future operators/agents from re-learning the exact liveness-vs-healthProbe and stale-config failure modes we just debugged.

• Files changed: Code/test head unchanged since the prior review; PR body repaired. Re-reviewed exact-head source around ai/config.template.mjs, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs, ProcessSupervisorService.mjs, and ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.mjs.
• PR body / close-target changes: Pass. Close target remains #13882; body now names healthProbe, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService, ProcessSupervisorService, and the 53-test evidence.
• Branch freshness / merge state: PR open, base dev, merge state CLEAN, all current checks green at review time, review request still assigned to neo-gpt.

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

• Addressed: PR body no longer describes the stale livenessProbe / Orchestrator.mjs integration path. It now matches the final healthProbe + configured-task + supervisor recycle design.
• Addressed: PR body test evidence now names the current 53 focused unit tests and keeps live deployment validation as residual.
• Newly open: Exact-head source still contains one stale livenessProbe prose claim in the config template and one ADR-0019 B3 optional-chain read around the new AiConfig leaf.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

Delta challenge: The line-level source text still leaves two future-regression traps. First, ai/config.template.mjs:387 says livenessProbe restarts the runner, but the actual final path is healthProbe -> gateRecycleOnHealthProbe() -> killTask(). Second, AiConfig.orchestrator?.providerReadiness?.stuckRunner makes the new default-on fire-relief leaf behave like an optional best-effort feature, while ADR-0019 says resolved AiConfig leaves should be read directly and the existing assertConfigFresh guard should catch stale overlays by naming the missing env leaves.

🔎 Conditional Audit Delta

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

• Changed surface class: PR body changed since Cycle 3; exact-head source re-audited because the PR body repair forced a full source/body consistency check.
• Location check: Pass. New focused tests remain in canonical AI unit-test locations.
• Related verification run: No new local test run this cycle; code head unchanged from Cycle 3, where npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/graph/ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/ProcessSupervisorService.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/config.template.spec.mjs passed 53/53. Current-head CI is green.
• Findings: Test evidence remains sufficient; blockers are source/prose contract accuracy.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

• Findings: Blocked on narrow drift. #13882 is a fire-relief recovery contract; exact-head source must not describe the actuator as livenessProbe after the final design moved it to healthProbe, and AiConfig leaf reads should not mask a missing stuckRunner config branch.

🧠 AiConfig / ADR-0019 Audit

• Findings: ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs:233 uses defensive optional chaining on a new AiConfig leaf. ADR-0019 B3 says AiConfig tree reads should fail loud; the boot-time assertConfigFresh() path exists specifically to catch stale overlays with an actionable --migrate-config message. Read AiConfig.orchestrator.providerReadiness.stuckRunner directly, then keep value-level fallbacks only where a leaf is intentionally nullable.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

• [TOOLING_GAP]: Existing CI did not catch the new ADR-0019 B3 optional-chain site in ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService. The current PR can fix the instance directly; the linter/invariant coverage should be widened separately so reviewers are not the only backstop.

📊 Metrics Delta

• [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 86 -> 84 — PR body improved, but ADR-0019 B3 and stale health/liveness prose keep a small architecture-substrate mismatch open.
• [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 76 -> 86 — PR body is repaired; deduction remains for config.template.mjs retaining stale actuator prose.
• [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: unchanged from prior review — 88, focused tests and current CI are green; this cycle did not find a behavior-path defect.
• [PRODUCTIVITY]: unchanged from prior review — 82, high-value fire-relief path is nearly ready after two line-level repairs.
• [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review — high impact for unattended local-model recovery.
• [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review — lifecycle boundary remains subtle but tested.
• [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review — Heavy Lift.

📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

• Fix the stale durable prose in ai/config.template.mjs: replace the livenessProbe restart wording with the actual final path (healthProbe on the running Ollama task, acted on by ProcessSupervisorService.gateRecycleOnHealthProbe() / recycle). This is not just wording; the liveness-vs-healthProbe distinction was the Cycle-1 dead-path bug.
• Remove the ADR-0019 B3 defensive AiConfig read in ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs. Use AiConfig.orchestrator.providerReadiness.stuckRunner directly so stale config overlays fail through the existing assertConfigFresh / fail-loud contract instead of silently disabling the new fire-relief lane.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Request Changes

Cycle: Cycle N follow-up / re-review

Opening: The code-level stuck-runner path has converged at 3be2313e; this re-review is limited to remaining source-prose and close-target contract drift.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

• Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior CHANGES_REQUESTED state, live PR #13900 metadata at head 3be2313e, changed-file list, exact-head source in /private/tmp/neo-13900-3be2313e, issue #13882 body/comments, parent epic #13874, ADR-0019, ADR-0025, Memory Core prior-art sweep, and KB provider-readiness answer.
• Expected Solution Shape: A correct delta keeps detect separate from actuator authority, uses a running-child healthProbe for stuck-but-running Ollama, leaves down/residency behavior on livenessProbe, reads AiConfig leaves at the use site, and isolates the canary/classifier plus supervisor recycle branch in focused tests. It must not hardcode broad recovery-daemon policy dispatch into this fire-relief slice, and it must not auto-close a broader Contract Ledger than it actually delivers.
• Patch Verdict: Improves the expected code shape: ProcessSupervisorService.superviseTask() now reaches gateRecycleOnHealthProbe() while running, probeOllamaServing() treats any completed HTTP response as serving, and the focused tests cover the prior dead path plus the non-2xx false-positive boundary. The remaining mismatch is metadata/prose: ai/config.template.mjs still says livenessProbe, and Resolves #13882 still points at a live ticket body/ledger broader than this PR.
• Premise Coherence: coheres: the code follows verify-before-assert and detect-vs-actuator separation; conflicts only in the public substrate metadata, where stale prose and over-broad close targeting would mislead later agents.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

• Decision: Request Changes
• Rationale: The runtime semantics are clear enough to merge after metadata repair, but source JSDoc and close-target/Contract Ledger drift are merge-blocking because they poison the next agent’s substrate and can auto-close broader recovery-daemon obligations.

• Addressed: The prior dead-path blocker is addressed — superviseTask() no longer returns before probing a running child with a healthProbe, and the focused supervisor spec verifies a running stuck task is recycled.
• Addressed: The Cycle-2 false-positive blocker is addressed — probeOllamaServing() returns Boolean(response), and the detector spec verifies a completed non-2xx response is still serving.
• Still open: Source prose still uses the old livenessProbe term in ai/config.template.mjs for the stuck-runner restart path.
• Still open: The close target still risks auto-closing #13882 while its live body/Contract Ledger remain broader than the PR’s delivered slice.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

• Delta challenge: The remaining risk is not code execution; it is substrate drift. A future agent reading the config template or a closed #13882 would infer the wrong mechanism (livenessProbe) and the wrong completion state (full recovery-daemon/Rung-0 obligations delivered).

🔎 Conditional Audit Delta

N/A Audits — 🧪 📑

N/A across provenance/security/MCP-tool-budget dimensions: this delta adds no MCP tool surface, no external-origin algorithm, and no security-sensitive auth surface.

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

• Changed surface class: code + config template + right-hemisphere unit tests.
• Location check: pass — new tests live under test/playwright/unit/ai/..., matching the unit-test right-hemisphere convention.
• Related verification run: npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/graph/ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/ProcessSupervisorService.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/config.template.spec.mjs passed 53/53 at exact head.
• Findings: pass for execution. Syntax checks also passed for ollamaStuckRunnerLiveness.mjs, ConfiguredTaskDefinitionsService.mjs, and ProcessSupervisorService.mjs.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

• Findings: Contract drift flagged. The PR implements stuck-runner healthProbe detection/recycle and config leaves, but #13882’s live body/Contract Ledger still lists daemon lifecycle, policy dispatch, Rung-0 shed-load, page terminal, verify-loop, persisted anti-thrash, and full observability. The ticket body/ledger must be narrowed to this delivered slice, or this PR must stop closing #13882.

📊 Metrics Delta

Metrics are updated for the current exact-head delta.

• [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 95 — code now separates down livenessProbe from running-child healthProbe, aligns with ADR-0025 detect/actuator separation, and follows ADR-0019 by declaring config leaves and reading resolved AiConfig values at the use site; 5 deducted for the lingering source-prose mismatch.
• [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 75 — source/tests/PR body are mostly complete, but the config JSDoc uses the wrong probe name and the live issue Contract Ledger does not match the shipped scope.
• [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 95 — exact-head syntax and 53 focused tests pass, including the prior dead path and non-2xx false-positive boundary; 5 deducted because live-deploy L4 validation remains post-merge.
• [PRODUCTIVITY]: 80 — the stuck-runner recovery slice is delivered, but productivity cannot reach closure while the PR would close broader #13882 obligations.
• [IMPACT]: 85 — high operational value for local Ollama fire-relief and deploy recovery, but scoped below the full recovery-daemon epic.
• [COMPLEXITY]: 70 — three runtime surfaces plus config and tests create moderate concurrency/probe semantics, but the final shape is bounded and testable.
• [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Heavy Lift — high-impact operational recovery with non-trivial supervisor semantics and false-positive safety constraints.

📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, address the following:

• Replace the stale livenessProbe wording in ai/config.template.mjs’s stuckRunner JSDoc with the actual healthProbe running-child mechanism.
• Resolve the #13882 close-target mismatch: either update #13882’s body + Contract Ledger to the exact stuck-runner health-probe recycle slice delivered here, or change the PR body to non-closing Refs #13882 and point Resolves at the narrower delivered leaf.
