docs(devlog): close the Kiro duplicate-answer unit - #2838
Conversation
The unit reached a terminal outcome, so it moves to _fin: the duplicate answer is fixed and merged (#2835, 69031f6), and the non-termination half was measured to be a stale process rather than a code defect. 040 records both, including the audit round that rejected the original plan. Consuming the retained prose at the outer drain would have hidden the only commentary a failed turn produces, so suppression is confined to the inner site that knows a completion arrived.

Keep the fallback duplicate open
When the first inference emits text and ends with STOP_SEQUENCE, and the bounded retry returns the same completion text, the post-fix tests/kiro-stream.test.ts:646-664 still explicitly expects both a commentary delta and an identical final_answer delta; the moved 030_wp1_live_measurement.md:64-69 identifies this as the user's exact two-message symptom. Therefore marking the duplicate-answer work DONE and moving the unit to _fin is premature unless this remaining path is fixed or the close-out is narrowed to same-inference duplication.

Summary
260828_kiro_turn_terminationunit and moves it todevlog/_fin/. The work it planned reached a terminal outcome: the duplicate answer is fixed and merged (fix(kiro): render one answer when prose and the completion tool share an inference #2835,69031f6aa), and the non-termination half was measured to be a stale process rather than a code defect.030_wp1_live_measurement.md(host-attributed measurement across three hosts),021_audit_round3.md(the audit round that rejected the original plan), and040_close_out.md(terminal outcome for both halves).The audit round is the part worth reading. The plan in
020said to consume the retained prose at both readers, including the outer drain inparseKiroAttempt. An independent reviewer returned FAIL and was right: that drain is also the leftover flush for early terminal returns, so teaching it to discard text would have hidden the only commentary a failed turn ever produces — trading a cosmetic duplicate for a silent failure. Suppression is confined to the inner site that knows a completion arrived.Documentation only. No runtime, test, or configuration change.
