fix(engine): self-heal failed in-review cards whose PR merged on the remote#1922
Conversation
…remote A transient error at merge time can flag an in-review card `failed` even when its PR actually squash-merged on the remote. `recoverAlreadyMergedReviewTasks` only ran the already-merged evidence detector against the LOCAL base ref, so when this process never fetched the merge, the owned commit was absent locally, the detector returned null, and the card held its file-scope lease forever. Fetch-then-prove: when a failed candidate has a recorded PR and the local base yields no owned commit, best-effort `git fetch origin <base>` and re-run the SAME evidence detector against `origin/<base>`. The owned-commit proof and every foreign-ownership guard inside the detector remain the sole finalize gate, so this only un-wedges a genuinely-merged task — it never phantom-finalizes on unproven state. Gated on a recorded PR (no PR ⇒ nothing merged remotely ⇒ no fetch); fail-closed on fetch error. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

When git fetch fails, this helper still returns an existing origin/<base> ref. That lets the new recovery path run the destructive finalize detector against a remote-tracking ref that was not refreshed, so an offline/auth failure can still move a failed in-review task to done, remove its worktree, and unblock dependents based on stale evidence.

8671-8701: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider throttling the new remote fetch to avoid repeated network calls on persistently-unmerged candidates.
refreshRemoteBaseRefruns unconditionally whenever a retry-exhausted failed in-review task has a PR and no local evidence. Since these candidates persist across sweeps until resolved, a genuinely-unmerged task will trigger agit fetch origin <base>(60s timeout) on every maintenance tick and every startup recovery run. Other reconcilers in this file (e.g.deadlockRecoveryCooldown) use a per-task cooldown map to avoid this kind of repeated work; the same pattern (or a per-sweep cache keyed bybaseBranchto dedupe fetches across candidates sharing the same base) would reduce redundant I/O without weakening the fail-closed guarantee.♻️ Example: per-sweep fetch dedup
async recoverAlreadyMergedReviewTasks(): Promise<number> { try { const settings = await this.store.getSettings(); if (settings.globalPause || settings.enginePaused) return 0; + const refreshedBaseRefsThisSweep = new Map<string, string | null>(); const maxAutoMergeRetries = resolveMaxAutoMergeRetries(settings);if (!landed && getPrimaryPrInfo(task)) { - const refreshedBaseRef = await this.refreshRemoteBaseRef(baseBranch); + let refreshedBaseRef: string | null; + if (refreshedBaseRefsThisSweep.has(baseBranch)) { + refreshedBaseRef = refreshedBaseRefsThisSweep.get(baseBranch)!; + } else { + refreshedBaseRef = await this.refreshRemoteBaseRef(baseBranch); + refreshedBaseRefsThisSweep.set(baseBranch, refreshedBaseRef); + }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

When git fetch origin <base> fails, this branch still falls through and returns any existing origin/<base> ref. If that local tracking ref is stale but contains an old owned squash commit, the recovery path can prove against stale evidence, move the failed review task to done, mark mergeConfirmed: true, and remove the worktree even though the current remote base was never checked. Return null on fetch failure so destructive recovery only runs after a successful refresh.

Problem
A transient error at merge time can flag an in-review card
failedeven when its PR actually squash-merged on the remote (human merge, merge-train, etc.).recoverAlreadyMergedReviewTasksruns the already-merged evidence detector only against the local base ref. If this process never fetched the merge, the owned commit is absent locally → the detector returnsnull→landedis null → the card never finalizes and holds its file-scope lease forever, wedging every other task that touches the same files.Fix — fetch-then-prove
When a
failedin-review candidate has a recorded PR (getPrimaryPrInfo) and the local base yields no owned commit:git fetch origin <base>(newrefreshRemoteBaseRefhelper), thenorigin/<base>.The detector's owned-commit proof and every foreign-ownership guard inside it remain the sole finalize gate, so this only un-wedges a genuinely-merged task — it never phantom-finalizes on unproven state.
Safety:
origin/<base>can't be resolved the card is left untouched.Tests
Two real-git tests in
self-healing-already-merged.real-git.test.ts, both verified to fail without the prod change:origin/main, and finalizes the card todone(mergeConfirmed: true, worktree removed).failed/in-review, never healed.Full self-heal suite: 594 passed. Engine typecheck clean.
