Scope: architecture-level
HEAD checked: ced7545cdd63a8c92fe7aa072be35614418fe4f1

What Improved

  • Fresh CLI and in-process MCP executions now default fat_harness_mode to False unless the seed explicitly sets orchestrator.execution_mode: fat_harness.
  • Resume paths now prefer persisted fat_harness_mode when present, preserving the session acceptance contract.
  • Removed legacy remains rejected for fresh CLI/MCP execution, with updated guidance to omit the selector for the default runner.

Issue #N/A Requirements

Requirement Status
Fresh CLI seed execution defaults to non-fat-harness unless execution_mode: fat_harness is set Satisfied for the direct CLI runner path.
Fresh MCP seed execution defaults to non-fat-harness unless execution_mode: fat_harness is set Partially satisfied; in-process MCP honors the selector, but plugin-dispatched MCP accepts fat-harness without enforcing the runner gate.
execution_mode: legacy remains rejected for fresh execution Satisfied for CLI, direct MCP, and plugin-dispatched MCP validation.
Resume uses persisted acceptance contract when available Satisfied for covered CLI and direct MCP paths.
Meaningful tests cover newly added logic Partially satisfied; direct CLI/MCP paths are covered, plugin fat-harness enforcement is not.

Prior Findings Status

Prior Finding Status
Prior review context MODIFIED — No prior review concerns were available in the provided context; current review raises a new affected-boundary blocker on the MCP plugin dispatch path.

Blockers

# File:Line Severity Confidence Finding
1 src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:365 High 85% The OpenCode plugin MCP path accepts execution_mode: fat_harness but then returns the _subagent payload before creating OrchestratorRunner or passing fat_harness_mode=True, so the opt-in selector does not enforce the typed-evidence/verifier acceptance gate for plugin-dispatched ouroboros_execute_seed. The subagent prompt is generic implementation guidance rather than the fat-harness runner contract, so an MCP consumer can request fat-harness and still bypass the stricter acceptance boundary. The same plugin short-circuit exists in ouroboros_start_execute_seed at src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:1141.

Follow-ups

# File:Line Priority Confidence Suggestion
None.

Test Coverage

  • Ran uv run pytest -q tests/unit/cli/test_run_qa.py tests/unit/mcp/tools/test_definitions.py: 142 passed.
  • Coverage was added for CLI defaults, explicit fat-harness selection, resume migration, and some MCP fresh/resume behavior.
  • Missing coverage: plugin-dispatched MCP with execution_mode: fat_harness should prove the child execution path cannot bypass the fat-harness acceptance contract.

Design / Roadmap Gate

Affected-boundary reasoning: this PR changes an execution acceptance contract, so the boundary is not just _resolve_fat_harness_mode; it includes all public execution entry points that consume seeds: CLI, synchronous MCP, async MCP, resume, and plugin-dispatched MCP. The CLI and in-process MCP paths now pass the resolved boolean into OrchestratorRunner, which persists and enforces the session contract. The OpenCode plugin paths validate the selector but then short-circuit into subagent dispatch before the runner boundary, so the accepted fat_harness request is not bound to the enforcement mechanism. That leaves a consumer-contract gap at the MCP/plugin boundary.

Merge Recommendation

Do not merge until plugin-dispatched MCP either routes fat-harness opt-in through an enforcing runner path or rejects/clearly disallows fat-harness in plugin dispatch instead of silently bypassing the stricter acceptance contract.

Follow-up Findings

# File:Line Priority Confidence Suggestion
1 src/ouroboros/cli/commands/run.py:438 Low High The debug message still prints Execution mode: fat_harness (default) when fat-harness is now explicit opt-in. Consider changing this to Execution mode: fat_harness to avoid misleading operators.

Non-blocking Suggestions

| 1 | src/ouroboros/cli/commands/run.py:438 | Messaging | Stale debug wording says fat-harness is the default after this PR makes it opt-in. |

Test Coverage Notes

  • Reviewed updated unit coverage in tests/unit/cli/test_run_qa.py and tests/unit/mcp/tools/test_definitions.py.
  • Attempted targeted tests: python -m pytest ... failed because python is unavailable; python3 -m pytest ... failed because pytest is not installed. No local test execution completed in this environment.

Design Notes

The change is narrow and keeps the acceptance-mode contract centralized at CLI/MCP entry points, while relying on prepare_session persistence and runner resume enforcement for durable behavior.

Design / Roadmap Gate

Fresh CLI and MCP paths now reject removed/unknown selectors and only enable fat-harness for explicit fat_harness. Resume paths prefer persisted fat_harness_mode; when absent, they fall back to the new default-runner behavior. OrchestratorRunner.resume_session still blocks fat-harness resumes, preserving the typed-evidence gate when the persisted contract requires it.

Directional Notes

Maintainer memory emphasized explicit gates and contract drift, so review focused on fresh-vs-resume mode resolution, persisted fat_harness_mode, and MCP/CLI parity. No blocker was found from current source evidence.

What Improved

  • Fresh CLI and in-process MCP seed execution now default to the default runner unless seed.orchestrator.execution_mode: fat_harness is explicitly set.
  • Resume paths prefer persisted fat_harness_mode when present, preserving the session acceptance contract.
  • Removed/unknown fresh execution-mode selectors are rejected with updated guidance.

Missing/blank execution mode uses the default runner Met
Explicit fat_harness keeps typed evidence plus verifier PASS acceptance Partially met
Removed legacy selector remains rejected for fresh execution Met
Add meaningful tests for the changed CLI/MCP behavior Partially met

Prior Findings Status

Prior bot review raised this same plugin-dispatch blocker. It still applies: current HEAD validates fat_harness as acceptable before the plugin early return, but the plugin path still bypasses OrchestratorRunner(fat_harness_mode=True). The later approval withdrew/omitted that concern, but current source evidence supports maintaining it.

Blockers

# File:Line Severity Finding
1 src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:365 BLOCKING The OpenCode plugin MCP path accepts a fresh seed with execution_mode: fat_harness, but then returns the _subagent payload before creating OrchestratorRunner or passing fat_harness_mode=True at lines 502-524. The dispatched child prompt built in src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/subagent.py:825 is generic implementation guidance and does not enforce typed evidence plus verifier PASS, so an MCP caller can request fat-harness and silently bypass the stricter acceptance contract. The same plugin short-circuit exists for ouroboros_start_execute_seed at src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:1141.

Follow-up Findings

# File:Line Priority Confidence Suggestion
1 src/ouroboros/cli/commands/run.py:505 Low High The debug message still says Execution mode: fat_harness (default) even though this PR makes fat-harness explicit opt-in.

Test Coverage Notes

  • Reviewed updated unit coverage in tests/unit/cli/test_run_qa.py and tests/unit/mcp/tools/test_definitions.py.
  • Could not execute tests locally: uv is unavailable, and python3 -m pytest fails because pytest is not installed.
  • Existing tests cover CLI defaults, in-process MCP defaults/resume, and plugin rejection of legacy; they do not cover plugin-dispatched MCP accepting execution_mode: fat_harness and proving the fat-harness acceptance gate is enforced or rejected.

Design Notes

The CLI and in-process MCP paths are coherent, but the plugin-dispatched MCP path is still a separate execution boundary and does not share the runner enforcement contract.

Design / Roadmap Gate

This PR changes an execution acceptance contract. Public MCP callers can now submit execution_mode: fat_harness; for in-process execution that reaches OrchestratorRunner(fat_harness_mode=True), but plugin dispatch returns a child-task prompt before the runner boundary. That creates contract drift: either plugin mode must enforce the same gate or reject/disallow fat-harness instead of acknowledging it.

Directional Notes

Maintainer memory emphasized explicit gates and contract drift, so review focused on public execution entry points, fresh-vs-resume mode resolution, persistence of fat_harness_mode, and plugin dispatch parity. The blocker is based on current source evidence, not memory alone.

  • Reviewed updated unit coverage in tests/unit/cli/test_run_qa.py and tests/unit/mcp/tools/test_definitions.py.

What Improved

  • Fresh CLI and in-process MCP execution now default to the default runner unless execution_mode: fat_harness is explicit.
  • OpenCode plugin fresh execution now rejects fat_harness instead of silently dispatching an unenforced child task.
  • The stale debug wording for fat-harness default was corrected.

Prior Findings Status

Prior bot review’s fresh plugin-dispatch blocker is addressed for fresh executions: current HEAD rejects execution_mode: fat_harness before plugin dispatch. I am maintaining the broader contract concern in modified form because resume plugin dispatch still bypasses the persisted acceptance contract.

Blockers

# File:Line Severity Finding
1 src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:373 BLOCKING Plugin-dispatched resume still bypasses the persisted fat-harness contract. ExecuteSeedHandler skips both fresh-mode validation and plugin fat-harness rejection whenever session_id is present, then returns the _subagent payload before reconstructing the session or reading tracker.progress["fat_harness_mode"]. A resume for a session created with fat_harness_mode=True therefore reaches the generic child prompt in src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/subagent.py:825 instead of the runner path that blocks fat-harness resumes at src/ouroboros/orchestrator/runner.py:3037. The same unchecked plugin-resume dispatch exists in ouroboros_start_execute_seed at src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:1167.

Test Coverage Notes

  • Reviewed tests/unit/cli/test_run_qa.py and tests/unit/mcp/tools/test_definitions.py.
  • Added/updated tests cover CLI default mode, explicit fat-harness, resume mode selection for in-process MCP, and fresh plugin rejection of legacy/fat_harness.
  • Missing coverage: plugin-dispatched resume of a persisted fat_harness_mode=True session.
  • Could not run tests locally: uv is unavailable and python3 -m pytest fails because pytest is not installed.

Design Notes

The default-mode change is narrow and coherent for CLI and in-process MCP. The remaining problem is that plugin dispatch is still a separate execution boundary and resume does not share the runner’s persisted-contract enforcement.

Design / Roadmap Gate

This PR changes the acceptance-mode contract. Fresh plugin dispatch now rejects unsupported fat-harness, which fixes the previous direct bypass. However, resume is also part of the same public execution boundary: persisted fat_harness_mode=True must either reach the runner’s blocking path or be rejected before plugin dispatch. Current HEAD does neither for plugin resume.

Directional Notes

Maintainer memory emphasized explicit gates and contract drift, so review focused on public execution entry points, plugin dispatch parity, persistence, and resume behavior. The blocker above is based on current source evidence.

Test Coverage

  • Reviewed tests/unit/cli/test_run_qa.py and tests/unit/mcp/tools/test_definitions.py.

Merge Recommendation

Do not merge until plugin-dispatched resumes reconstruct/check the session contract before dispatch, or clearly reject plugin resume when the persisted session requires fat-harness enforcement.

Issue Requirements

<linked issue / PR body requirements and whether this PR satisfies them. Use "No linked issue requirement captured N/A" if absent>

Prior Findings Status

Prior fresh plugin-dispatch blocker is addressed: current HEAD rejects fresh plugin execution_mode: fat_harness before subagent dispatch. The later resume blocker is partially addressed for persisted fat_harness_mode=True, but I am maintaining it in modified form because missing-contract resumes still fall through when the seed selector requires fat-harness. The stale debug wording follow-up is withdrawn because run.py now prints Execution mode: fat_harness.

Blockers

# File:Line Severity Finding
1 src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:162 BLOCKING Plugin resume validation only rejects sessions where reconstructed progress already contains fat_harness_mode is True. For historical/corrupt sessions with no persisted fat_harness_mode, the helper returns OK even if the supplied seed still has orchestrator.execution_mode: fat_harness, then the plugin path dispatches the generic subagent before reaching the in-process fallback that would set fat_harness_mode = execution_mode == "fat_harness" at src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:578 and the runner’s fat-harness resume block at src/ouroboros/orchestrator/runner.py:3037. That leaves a remaining plugin-resume bypass for missing-contract fat-harness sessions; ouroboros_start_execute_seed shares the same helper at line 1213.

  • Contributor reported uv run pytest tests/unit/mcp/tools/test_definitions.py tests/unit/cli/test_run_qa.py passing with 153 tests, plus Ruff check/format passing.
  • I could not execute tests locally: uv is unavailable and python3 -m pytest ... fails with No module named pytest.
  • Coverage now includes fresh plugin fat_harness rejection and persisted fat_harness_mode=True resume rejection, but it misses plugin resume where the persisted contract is absent and the seed selector is fat_harness.

Design Notes

The CLI and in-process MCP paths are coherent. The remaining design issue is at the plugin resume boundary, where missing persisted contract state is interpreted less strictly than the in-process resume path.

Design / Roadmap Gate

This PR changes an execution acceptance contract, so all public callers need equivalent handling for fresh execution, resume, plugin dispatch, and historical sessions without persisted fat_harness_mode. Fresh CLI/MCP and plugin fresh dispatch now behave consistently. Persisted fat_harness_mode=True plugin resumes are also rejected. The unresolved boundary is the migration fallback: in-process resume treats missing persisted state plus seed execution_mode: fat_harness as fat-harness, while plugin resume ignores that selector and dispatches anyway.

Directional Notes

Maintainer memory emphasized contract drift across plugin and resume paths, so review focused on public execution entry points, persisted acceptance mode, and fallback behavior. The blocker above is based on current source evidence, not memory alone.

Reject OpenCode plugin resume requests when the persisted session contract does not contain a boolean fat_harness_mode value and the supplied seed still requests orchestrator.execution_mode='fat_harness'. This closes the historical-session gap where plugin dispatch could acknowledge a resume before the in-process fallback inferred fat-harness behavior from the seed selector.

The guard now receives the parsed execution_mode for both synchronous and background execute_seed handlers, while preserving the existing rejection for explicit fat_harness_mode=True sessions. Added MCP unit coverage for missing-contract resume attempts on both handler paths.

Fresh plugin execution_mode: fat_harness is rejected before subagent dispatch at src/ouroboros/mcp/tools/execution_handlers.py:422-436, persisted fat_harness_mode=True plugin resumes are rejected at lines 163-172, and missing-contract resumes with a fat-harness seed selector are rejected at lines 173-182. The same helper is used by ouroboros_start_execute_seed at lines 1223-1237. The stale debug wording follow-up is also withdrawn; CLI now prints Execution mode: fat_harness at src/ouroboros/cli/commands/run.py:504-505.

Design Notes

The change is now coherent across CLI, in-process MCP, plugin dispatch, fresh execution, resume, and historical missing-contract fallback. Unsupported plugin fat-harness paths fail closed instead of pretending to enforce the runner contract.

Design / Roadmap Gate

Fresh CLI/MCP paths resolve fat-harness only from an explicit selector. New sessions persist fat_harness_mode in prepare_session, resume prefers persisted state, and missing-contract migration now falls back consistently. Plugin dispatch cannot enforce typed evidence plus verifier PASS, so it rejects fresh fat-harness and fat-harness resume cases before creating a subagent payload.

Directional Notes

Maintainer memory emphasized contract drift across plugin, persistence, and resume paths, so review focused on public execution boundaries and stale session contract handling. No blocker is based on memory alone.
