feat(flows): use the 180-minute cap for Software Garden robustness, not a longer plan - #178
Conversation
…ot a longer plan Cloud now honours a declared wallclock of up to 180 minutes (AgentWorkforce/cloud#4270). The generated Garden declares 2h and keeps the 60-minute plan's length: the build is done by minute 34 of the body, where the 60-minute plan ended it, and the rest is recovery room. - headerMinutes 60 -> 120 (wallclock "2h") - repairMinutes 15 -> 20; a second repair round only when the re-check still fails, the first repair finished, and the review keeps its floor - discoveryMinutes 10 -> 15, inside the unchanged build window - forgeMinutes 3 -> 5 (push 7 -> 11, publishing 17 -> 25) - buildByMinutes 34 (new): prototypes, comparator and implementer leave everything after it, so the checks always run on Cloud Tests pin the header at or under 180, every agent limit at or under 60, the happy path's planned allowances within 10% of the 60-minute plan, and the extra repair room on a failed check.

One edge case remains: a test suite that exits with status 124 itself is reported as having run out of time instead of failing. The report can then tell users to raise the check budget, and the failure can be treated as pre-existing.

…nded flows#626 (run b71c1687) stopped at RELAYFLOW_CHECK_TIMEOUT 840s on a check.sh that rightly mirrors its CI. A command lease cannot exceed 15 minutes, so a branch check now runs detached (setsid, or nohup) and the flow waits on it in successive bounded steps (at most 14m each) until it finishes or its total budget runs out: checkTotal, 30 minutes, taken from the 2h headroom. A check past its total is reported as a timeout. Each check carries an ID, so a resumed run waits for the check it started instead of starting another. Checks and re-checks leave the review its floor. The base-commit check stays within one lease. The pull-request report tells the cases apart: failed (exit status, and the end of the output), timed out (how long it ran against its budget, with the hint to run it locally or raise checkTotal), and not run because the flow ran out of time first (relaycast-cloud#216). The happy path's planned allowances go from 85m to 109m (the check budget 14 -> 30 and publishing 17 -> 25); the agents' share, the build window and the review, stays at the 60-minute plan's 54m.

… check group, republish Garden v2 Review fixes for #178: - Every step after the build (check, repairs, re-checks, the base-commit check) reserves the review's floor; locally its whole allowance, since nothing stops a local reviewer sooner. A second repair round also keeps the base check's time, and its re-check is held to what was kept for it. - The 20-minute repair and the second round are Cloud-only: a local run keeps one 15-minute repair, as before. - A detached check runs in a process group of its own (setsid; else perl setpgrp; nohup only where neither exists), records that group, and the waiting step stops the whole group at the total: SIGTERM, then SIGKILL after a 5s grace. kill uses the dash-compatible "-PGID" form. - Each branch check reserves a minute of lease slack per wait, and the full-timeouts sweep now charges it. - Tests assert that branch checks carry RELAYFLOW_CHECK_ID, _TIMEOUT and _WAIT, and that the base check carries only its limit. - The generator output changed, so Software Garden is republished as v2 (web/public/flows/software-garden, #175); v1 is untouched.

…stays a timeout Second-round review fixes for #178: - Exit 124 means timeout only when the flow stopped the check (the limiter in a single call, or the total); a detached suite's own 124, such as an inner `timeout` in a CI-shaped check.sh, is a failure. - A check stopped for time leaves `.stopped` beside its status, so a resumed waiter with the same ID reports timeout, not fail. - A new check ID first stops a check an earlier attempt left running, but only when the recorded group is still that check (ps args), never a recycled pid. - The detached check keeps its own deadline a minute past the total, so it ends even when no step is waiting on it any more. - Tests: perl-only test skipped without perl, process checks allow for reaping, a duplicate assertion removed. Garden v2 is re-cut from the new output (v2 never reached main; v1 is untouched). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ever leave one running Review fixes for #178: - The nohup fallback is gone. It left the check in the caller's process group, so the watchdog's group kill would have missed the suite's children (and aimed at the flow's own group). A check is detached only under setsid or perl's setpgrp; where neither exists it runs in the step itself under the limiter, within the wait that step may hold its lease. - Where there is no `ps` to tell a live check from a recycled pid, a live group with no status is stopped anyway: a second check writing the same .relayflow files is the worse risk. Both paths are tested, and all four were exercised by hand under /bin/dash (the /bin/sh of Ubuntu and E2B). Garden v2 is re-cut from the new output; v2 has never been on main, and v1 is untouched.

…runnable Review fixes for #178: - With no limiter at all (no timeout, no gtimeout, no perl) the fallback ran `sh "$script"` unbounded: clipping the limit bounds nothing, so a slow suite outlived RELAYFLOW_CHECK_WAIT, the runner killed the step and the run ended with no verdict — the failure this plan exists to prevent. The check is no longer started. The command reports `unrunnable`, exits 0 like every other verdict, and names what to install. Both paths refuse: a branch check waited on across leases, and the single-call check the base-commit comparison uses. Cloud's image always has coreutils `timeout`, so only a local run can reach this. - The report reads `unrunnable` as "could not run this repository's checks", not as a failure or a timeout, and says it is not a verdict on the change. The flow repairs nothing, compares no base commit, still reviews, and opens a draft. - The in-step fallback's test brings its own `timeout` stub, so its timeout case exercises the timeout path on macOS, which has neither timeout nor gtimeout and excludes perl on purpose. It also asserts the limit it was held to is the wait, not the total. Garden v2 is re-cut from the new output; v1 is untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Founder rule
The Software Garden flow stays slim. AgentWorkforce/cloud#4270 raises the hosted run cap from 60 to 180 minutes. This PR treats that extra time as margin, not as room for more work. It adds no plan step, no extra review round, no extra prototype agent and no longer build. All new time goes to recovering from failures. The happy path stays the same length, and a test enforces that.
Before and after
FLOW_TIMEheaderMinutes(cloud wallclock)"1h")"2h")buildByMinutes(new)discoveryMinutesrepairMinutesrepairRounds(new)localRepairMinutes/localRepairRounds(new)forgeMinutespushMinutes(derived)2 × forge + followUp.publishMinutes(derived)buildReserveMinutes(new, derived)buildByMinutes.

The first commit alone came to 93m (+9.4%). The check budget (14 to 30) then took it over the 10% line. Every increase is time spent waiting on something outside the agents: a test suite or a forge. A clean run only spends what those actually take. The agents' own allowances (build window 34m + review 20m = 54m) are exactly where the 60-minute plan had them. The test pins the 109m ceiling and the 54m agent share explicitly. The measured typical run still lands in 30–45 minutes.
Generator changes (
web/lib/flow-workflows.ts)building(everything after minute 34 on Cloud) where they used to reservepublishing. Their limits come out as before (the implementer still stops at about 23–33m), and the time after the build is never spent on building.repairRoundson Cloud and 1 locally. Round 1 keeps its journal namecheck-repair, so resumes still work. Round 2 is namedcheck-repair-2, runs only when the checks are still broken, and states its owntimeoutlike every Cloud agent. A repair stopped at its limit ends the repairs ("no further repair is tried").reviewingin workflows that review: the check, both repairs, the re-checks and the base-commit check.reviewingis the review floor plus the review reserve, using the same target-aware floor as the review guard: 8m on Cloud, the whole 20m locally. A second round also reserves the base-commit check ascompareWithBasebudgets it, and its re-check is held to that. As a result the full-limit sweep never reaches the time-stop path on Cloud. The path stays in as a guard.minutesLeft,allowanceand the floors are unchanged. They read the new body (112m). The header still comes fromFLOW_TIME.headerMinutesinflow-onboarding.ts.publishingfor the build steps as before, and keeps one 15m repair.Check runs that span several leases (flows#626)
Run b71c1687 failed at step run-11 because it hit
RELAYFLOW_CHECK_TIMEOUT840s. Itscheck.shcorrectly mirrors the repo's CI: a kernel release build, cargo tests, the schema, the surface gate and the full SDK tests. No single lease can be raised, so a check now spans several:RELAYFLOW_CHECK_WAITset,FLOW_CHECK_RUN_COMMANDstartscheck.shdetached, in a process group of its own, with every descriptor redirected away from the lease. It usessetsid, elseperl -e 'setpgrp(0,0); exec @ARGV'with SIGHUP ignored (macOS). Where neither exists it is not detached: nothing there could stop the suite's children, so the check runs in the step itself under the limiter, within the wait that step may hold its lease. With no limiter at all (notimeout, nogtimeout, noperl) the check is not started: nothing could stop it, so it would hold the step's lease until the runner killed the step and the run would end with no verdict — the failure this plan exists to prevent. The command reports a newunrunnableverdict instead, exits 0 like every other verdict, and names what to install. Cloud's image always has coreutilstimeout, so only a local run can reach this. The detached shell records its own group (check.log.group). The log goes to.relayflow/check.log, and the exit status goes to a file that is written then renamed into place.RELAYFLOW_CHECK_WAITand printsrunningif the check has not finished. The flow (spannedCheck) calls again in bounded steps of at most 14m, each leased at no more than 15m, until the check finishes orcheckTotal(30m) runs out.RELAYFLOW_CHECK_TIMEOUTit sends the check's whole group SIGTERM, waits up to 5s, sends SIGKILL, and reportstimeout(exit 124), neverfail. The signal reaches the suite and everything it started, not a wrapper. The kill uses thekill -TERM "-PGID"form, because dash (/bin/sh on Ubuntu and E2B) rejects--. A check that dies without an exit status is afail. A suite's own exit 124 (for example an innertimeoutin a CI-shapedcheck.sh) is also afail: only a check this flow stopped counts as a timeout..stoppedbeside its status, so a resumed waiter with the same ID also reportstimeout. The detached check keeps its own deadline, a minute past the total, so it ends even when nothing is waiting on it any more.psit first confirms the group is still that check, so a recycled pid is never signalled; withoutpsit stops a live group with no status anyway, because a second check writing the same.relayflowfiles is the worse risk.RELAYFLOW_CHECK_ID(the run's start time plus a counter, both deterministic on replay). A call with an ID already started only waits, so a resumed run picks up the check it started. No agent step or existing step was renamed.RELAYFLOW_CHECK_WAIT, the command runs in-line as before. The base-commit check still runs that way, within one lease (13m), and is skipped as before when the branch check took longer than that.Check outcome wording
The pull request's check report now tells the cases apart. The command records

The flow repairs nothing, compares no base commit, still reviews, and opens a draft.Dependency
Satisfied. cloud#4270 is confirmed live in production (health
buildShae88433bd3 =deploymentSha, contains 4540e9701): the hosted v2 run budget max is 180 minutes, so a"2h"header is honoured. A production proving run of the 30-minute detached check is planned before merge.Interaction with #174 / #175 (catalog single source)
#175 merged first. Its test requires the published artifact to match the generator byte for byte, and that is why "Tests and typecheck" first failed on the merge commit. This PR merges
mainand re-cuts the artifact withweb/scripts/publish-software-garden.mts. That addsweb/public/flows/software-garden/v2.flow.ts(sha256516ccd18…1d60fb) and movesmanifest.jsonto v2. v1 is untouched, so published versions stay immutable, and no catalog file is touched here.For whoever re-lands #179 (the catalog pin): #179 was merged into the deleted
trunkand is lost, so main's catalog still points at the 14 KB flows-repo example whilev1.flow.ts(shab89a36e2) is published and live. This PR moves the manifest to v2 but pins nothing. If #179 lands first, this PR only needs its artifact re-cut (onepublish-software-garden.mtsrun, bumping to v3) — the catalog pin itself does not conflict. If this PR lands first, #179 should pin v2 (516ccd18…1d60fb), not v1, because v2 is what the generator produces once this is in. Either order works as long as the pin names the version the generator then produces.Tests
flow-budget.test.tsplans within Cloud's 180-minute run cap: header is 120 and at most 180, all agent allowances are at most 60 (agentLimitMaxMinutes === 60), the build window fits discovery plus the implementer floor, and the build reserve fits checks, repair floor, re-check and publishing.keeps the happy path's planned allowances at 109m, with the agents' share where the 60-minute plan had it: pinsbuildBy + checkTotal + publish + review <= 109(85m before) andbuildBy + review <= 54, so a future change cannot quietly lengthen the plan.declares the 2h wallclock: every workflow's parsed header is at most 180 minutes. Local stays 3h.headerMinutes. It checks that every agent limit is between 1 and 60, that every workflow reachescheck-repair-2, and that Cloud never skips the checks.gives a failed check the extra repair room: bda21b91's 19.5m repair now finishes and leaves a ready PR.

flow-workflows.test.ts, real shell). A check longer than one wait finishes across calls, and its exit status is honoured: pass gives0, fail gives exit3with its output. Each call returns within its wait. A check past its total is reported astimeoutwith exit 124, its elapsed time and its limit. An ID that was already started is waited on and not restarted, while a new ID starts a new check.Spanning leases (
flow-budget.test.ts, simulated clock). A 20-minute check is waited on across several leases, each at most 15m, and runs to the end (20m, not 14). Its pass or fail verdict reaches the report and the draft decision. A 45-minute check is stopped at the 30m budget and reported ascheck=timeout, and the journal says "timed out", not "fail".Process group (
flow-workflows.test.ts, real shell). A suite that ignores SIGTERM and starts a child of its own is stopped at its total: the group, its leader and the child are all gone. On a PATH withoutsetsid, the check still gets a group of its own, which is gone after the timeout. On a PATH withoutsetsidand withoutperl, the check is not detached at all and runs in the step, within its wait, under atimeoutstub the fixture provides (macOS has neithertimeoutnorgtimeout, so without the stub that case would never reach the timeout path). With no limiter at all the command refuses to start the checks on both paths, bounded and explicit, and the suite never runs; the report calls that "could not run", and the flow drafts, reviews and repairs nothing. Other tests: a suite's own exit 124 is a failure, a resumed waiter is told about a stopped check, and a check an earlier attempt left running is stopped first (with and withoutps). I also ran all four paths by hand under/bin/dash, the/bin/shof Ubuntu and E2B: pass across leases, a total timeout that stays a timeout on resume, a leftover check stopped, and the no-setsid/no-perl in-step fallback.Check keys (
flow-budget.test.ts). Every branch check carriesRELAYFLOW_CHECK_ID,_TIMEOUT(at most 30m) and_WAIT(at most 14m), with one ID per check. The base check carries only its limit.plain()in the onboarding and local tests now strips only that exact prefix.Local (

fullTimeouts. No Cloud workflow reaches the time-stop path, and every workflow still reachescheck-repair-2and the base check.Wording (
flow-workflows.test.ts). A failed check, a timed-out check (with and without timings) and checks that never ran each get their own message.Happy-path assertion: now pins the 109m ceiling and the 54m agent share (see above).
