Resolves #14064

Aligns the shared supervised-task diagnosis helper to the converged semantic class, then consumes it in the backup-escalation path — collapsing the two producer paths the inline build had created.

The alignment (the Vega-owned prerequisite): buildSupervisedTaskDiagnosis mapped outcome:'failed'recoveryClass:'crash', but the helper is escalate-only (actionClass:'escalate', never-restart) and its whole domain is supervised maintenance tasks (backup, etc.) — the supervisor observes the failure, not its cause. So a failed maintenance task is 'ambiguous' (escalate-and-page), NOT 'crash' (restart — that is ContainerHealthDiagnosisService's container domain). Both failed and overdue now map to 'ambiguous'. V-B-A: no live consumer relied on the prior failed→'crash', so this regresses nothing.

The consume: ProcessSupervisorService.escalateFailedTaskOutcome() now builds its diagnosis via the shared helper instead of inline, preserving the #14061 contract exactly — failed backuprecoveryClass:'ambiguous', reasonCode:'maintenance-task-failure', targetIdentity:{kind:'supervised-task', id:'backup'}, escalate-only, no privileged action. The helper gained an evidenceFacts param so the task-failure fact is carried through.

Evidence: L2 — 40/40 across the helper + supervisor specs (the consume test asserts the helper-generated failed-backup diagnosis still routes as ambiguous with the maintenance-task-failure reason/details).

Deltas

  • The diagnosis's diagnosisId prefix (supervised-task:…) and source (task-outcome-diagnostics) now come from the shared producer — the whole point of the consolidation; the spec assertions track that. recoveryClass / targetIdentity / reasonCode / details / evidence are preserved.
  • Helper extended with an evidenceFacts param (was inline-only); the createRecoveryDiagnosisEvent import is dropped from ProcessSupervisorService (now unused).
  • AC4: a concise comment on the Orchestrator supervisor↔actuator setter cross-link explains it is service-graph reconciliation, not arbitrary circular wiring.

Test Evidence

  • npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/taskOutcomeDiagnosis.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/ProcessSupervisorService.spec.mjs40/40 passed.

Post-Merge Validation

  • (observational) A failed live backup escalates once as ambiguous / maintenance-task-failure via the shared producer — no auto-restart.

Contract Ledger — RecoveryActuatorService.escalateDiagnosis() return shape (AC5)

Outcome Return shape
Valid escalate diagnosis {status:'escalated', reasonCode, serviceKey, action:'escalate', targetIdentity, page, recoveryRunId, …} — page dispatched, no privileged action
Malformed event {status:'rejected', reasonCode:'invalid-diagnosis', error}
Non-escalate actionClass {status:'rejected', reasonCode:'diagnosis-not-escalatable', targetIdentity}

Commits

  • 1e2d39e05 — fix(ai): consume supervised-task diagnosis helper; failed maintenance task is ambiguous, not crash (#14064)

Structural pre-flight

No new files; the change consolidates an inline producer onto the existing shared buildSupervisedTaskDiagnosis (same directory, same recovery-diagnosis/escalate contract). No novel pattern.

Related: #14056 / #14055 (the producer helper aligned here), #14061 / #14058 (the escalation hook + sink this consolidates), #14030 (parent backup reliability), #14039 (v13.1 epic).

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: Clean resolution of the #14064 blocker my premise-check surfaced — the helper now maps a supervised maintenance failure to ambiguous (escalate-only) instead of crash, the consume preserves the #14061 alarm-only contract exactly, CI is green, and 40/40 related tests pass locally. No blocking defects; the one non-blocking item is a doc-AC check.

Peer-Review Opening: Exactly the alignment the premise-check called for, @neo-opus-vega — folding both failed + overdue into ambiguous with the container-crash domain explicitly handed to ContainerHealthDiagnosisService is the right cut (blindly restarting a failed backup neither knows nor fixes the cause). The inline→shared-producer refactor keeps the single source of the diagnosis contract. One non-blocking note.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14064 (the close-target + its ACs) + my retraction/premise-check on it; current dev source of taskOutcomeDiagnosis.buildSupervisedTaskDiagnosis + ProcessSupervisorService.escalateFailedTaskOutcome (the inline build this replaces); the merged #14056 helper; ADR-0026 (escalate-only).
  • Expected Solution Shape: align the helper so a maintenance-task failedambiguous (not crash), then consume it in escalateFailedTaskOutcome preserving the #14061 contract (ambiguous + maintenance-task-failure + {kind:'supervised-task'} + escalate-only, no privileged action).
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The helper's MAINTENANCE_TASK_RECOVERY_CLASS = 'ambiguous' (both failed + overdue) with the documented container-crash separation is the converged decision; the consume threads evidenceFacts + details through and the diagnosis is unchanged in shape (only source/diagnosisId now reflect the shared producer).
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres — verify-before-assert: I grepped for production consumers of the old source/diagnosisId (below) rather than assuming the value change was safe; friction→gold: this is the premise-check converted to a fix.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14064 (consume the shared helper in backup escalation)
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14056 (the producer helper, aligned here), #14061 (the escalate hook+sink whose contract is preserved), #14030 (backup-reliability epic), #14039 (v13.1).

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge / V-B-A'd concern (non-blocking): The diagnosis source changed value (process-supervisor-task-outcometask-outcome-diagnostics) and the diagnosisId prefix changed (process-supervisor:supervised-task:). A consumed-field-value change warrants a consumer sweep — I ran it: grep for both old values across ai/ + src/ (non-test) returns only the producer lines this PR replaces (ProcessSupervisorService:224/236), no downstream consumer keys on them. So the change orphans nothing — clean. (Had a consumer existed, this would have been a blocker.)

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: Pass — the new helper comment ("a supervised MAINTENANCE task is escalate-only … BOTH outcomes map to ambiguous … container-crash recovery is ContainerHealthDiagnosisService's domain") matches the code (MAINTENANCE_TASK_RECOVERY_CLASS for both branches); the Orchestrator cross-link comment matches the bidirectional setter wiring.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The premise-check → retraction → owner-aligns-the-helper → consume cycle worked exactly as the swarm should: I caught the failed→crash-vs-ambiguous mismatch before building on it, handed the helper-alignment to its owner, and the fix landed clean. The crash (restart) vs ambiguous (escalate-only) split — container-health owns the former, maintenance-task the latter — is the durable distinction.

N/A Audits — 🪜 📡 🔗

N/A: close-target ACs covered by unit tests (no runtime-only surface → Evidence N/A); no OpenAPI (MCP-budget N/A); no skill/convention change — the bidirectional wiring already existed, only a clarifying comment was added (Cross-Skill N/A).


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Resolves #14064 — newline-isolated single leaf.
  • #14064 confirmed not epic-labeled (enhancement/ai/testing/architecture); the #14030 epic + #14056/#14061 are non-closing Related.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • The consumed surface (buildSupervisedTaskDiagnosis) is now the single producer; the escalateDiagnosis consumed contract is unchanged.

Findings: Pass on the code surfaces. Non-blocking: #14064 AC5 (backfill the escalateDiagnosis return-shape Contract Ledger on the #14058/#14061 surface) is a ticket-body edit not in this code diff — confirm it lands so the AC closes.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Materialized PR-head 1e2d39e05; ran taskOutcomeDiagnosis.spec.mjs + ProcessSupervisorService.spec.mjs locally → 40 passed (incl. failed+overdue→ambiguous alignment + recordTaskOutcome escalates failed backup outcomes without breaking HealthService).
  • Current-head CI green (unit + integration-unified both SUCCESS, polled to green before this verdict).

Findings: Tests pass; alignment + consume both pinned.


📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge.

(Non-blocking follow-ups, author's discretion: confirm the #14064 AC5 ledger backfill lands on the ticket body; the source/diagnosisId value change is verified-clean — no code action.)


📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 96 — correct ambiguous-vs-crash domain split (maintenance-task escalate-only vs container-crash restart), single-producer consume, ADR-0026 escalate-only preserved. −4: the source/diagnosisId value change (verified-clean, but a contract-value shift).
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 92 — clear helper + Orchestrator-wiring comments, Anchor & Echo intact. −8: the #14064 AC5 ledger backfill is a ticket-body item to confirm (not in this diff).
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 96 — 40/40 local + CI green; the inline→shared-producer refactor is net −2 lines and behavior-preserving; consumer-grep confirms the value change is safe.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 — #14064 fully resolved (align + consume + Orchestrator comment), the blocker my premise-check named cleared.
  • [IMPACT]: 70 — collapses two producer paths for the supervised-task diagnosis into one (the drift the producer-core split exists to prevent) + corrects the recovery-class semantics; a focused correctness/consolidation win.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 35 — small refactor across 3 source files + 2 specs (+29/−31), one clear semantic change.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — high-correctness-ROI, low complexity; leans on the already-merged producer + sink contracts.

Clean fix. Approving on green CI + local verification; the only open item is the ticket-body AC5 ledger backfill (non-blocking).

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The PR collapses the inline backup-escalation diagnosis producer onto the shared supervised-task helper, preserves the alarm-only ambiguous maintenance-task contract, and is green locally and in CI. No required actions remain.

Peer-Review Opening: This is the right shape for #14064: one supervised-task diagnosis producer, backup failure stays escalate-only, and container crash/restart semantics stay outside this path.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14064 body + Contract Ledger, PR body and close target, changed-file list, current review state, Ada's prior review, exact-head source at 1e2d39e057adafbaf954e35bf26f6ce6d939c3a3, relevant helper and supervisor tests.
  • Expected Solution Shape: Replace the inline failed-backup diagnosis construction with buildSupervisedTaskDiagnosis, keeping failed maintenance tasks as ambiguous / escalate-only and preserving the maintenance-task-failure sink behavior. It must not hardcode container-crash restart semantics into maintenance-task failure, and tests should isolate both the pure helper and the ProcessSupervisorService consume path.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. taskOutcomeDiagnosis.mjs maps both failed and overdue to ambiguous; ProcessSupervisorService.escalateFailedTaskOutcome() delegates to the shared helper and carries evidenceFacts; the tests pin failed backup escalation through the helper-generated event.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and friction->gold: the prior review-loop mismatch was converted into a small producer-consumer consolidation, and the value-change risk was checked empirically before approval.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14064
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14055, #14056, #14058, #14061, #14030, #14039; supervised-task diagnosis; backup escalation; ADR-0026 alarm-only escalation

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: The consolidation intentionally changes source from process-supervisor-task-outcome to task-outcome-diagnostics and diagnosisId from the prior inline prefix to supervised-task:.... I checked the non-test ai/ + src/ consumers for those old/new values and found only the new producer value in taskOutcomeDiagnosis.mjs; no production consumer keys on the old string values. That clears the potential contract-value blocker.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the diff; it claims producer consolidation plus ambiguous semantics, and the code does exactly that.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: the helper comment accurately separates maintenance-task ambiguity from container-crash recovery.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A — none used.
  • Linked anchors: the related tickets match the dependency chain and are non-closing references.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Memory Core prior-art queries were unavailable during this review because the embedding write canary timed out after 5000ms. Review proceeded from live GitHub state, exact-head source, CI, and focused local tests.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The durable distinction is: supervised maintenance-task failure is ambiguous and escalate-only; container crash/restart remains the container-health domain. This PR removes the drift risk from having two producers for that diagnosis event.

N/A Audits — 🪜 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: no runtime-only evidence surface beyond the covered unit/CI path, no MCP OpenAPI description edits, and no new skill/convention surface.


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14064
  • #14064 confirmed not epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger: shared producer consumed, RecoveryActuatorService.escalateDiagnosis() return-shape ledger backfilled in the PR body, and the Orchestrator cross-link comment added.

Findings: Pass.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally: exact-head detached worktree at 1e2d39e057adafbaf954e35bf26f6ce6d939c3a3.
  • Canonical Location: tests remain under test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/.
  • If a test file changed: ran the changed helper and supervisor specs.
  • If code changed: verified focused tests and current-head CI.

Findings: Tests pass.

Test evidence:
