# 260914 — Triage round lanes: two merge rounds, four worktree lanes

Status: OPEN. Opened 2026-09-14 KST. Owner: main orchestration session
`01a09bc0-bb13-7393-8526-785a3aeacb91`, goalplan slug
`opencodex-2026-09-14-triage-delivery-loop-hotl-o`.

## Objective

Land 9-11 pull requests into `dev` across two merge rounds, then close the issues
and pull requests those merges resolve or supersede. The input is the 2026-09-14
triage of 64 open PRs and 60 open issues; this unit is the delivery half of it.

## Why this shape

The triage queue mixes two kinds of work that cannot be orchestrated the same way.
PRs #4528, #4529, #4511 and #4512 belong to outside contributors: the work there is
verification and merge, and nothing can be stacked on a fork branch. The remaining
items — the #4515 follow-up, #4519, #4530 and #4516 — are ours to author, and only
those can carry a branch chain. Treating the whole queue as one stack is the failure
mode this unit exists to avoid.

Ordering inside a chain follows gate speed, not importance. #4519 is the highest
priority item in the triage and it sits at the TOP of its lane, because it needs an
independent security review that can stall for days. A stalled bottom layer freezes
everything above it; a stalled top layer costs nothing once its parent has landed.

## Verified repository facts (2026-09-14)

These were read live and decide the merge mechanics. Refresh before acting on them.

- `dev` ruleset carries `deletion`, `non_fast_forward` and `pull_request`
(1 approval, code-owner review required). There is **no** required-status-check
rule and **no** strict up-to-date rule, so a `dev` move does not mechanically
invalidate another PR's checks. Batch merging disjoint PRs inside one CI
generation is therefore sound, and the residual risk is semantic, not textual.
- Cross-platform CI runs in 9-11 minutes (runs observed 2026-09-13T16:54-17:03 and
17:12-17:23).
- Contributor fork PRs sit at `action_required`: their workflow runs have never
executed. #4528 and #4529 both show this. Approving those runs is the first
merge-track action, not the last.
- `src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts` holds both `resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint`
(119-243) and `sidecarSettingsForBridge` (689). The two lane-A layers collide in
one file, which is what makes lane A a real chain rather than two parallel PRs.

## Lane map

Four `environment: worktree` threads. Write-sets are disjoint by construction; that
disjointness is what licenses the batch merge above.

| Lane | Orchestrator | Bottom layer | Top layer | Write set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | `anthropic/claude-opus-5` high | sidecar backend/model agreement | #4519 endpoint destination policy | `src/web-search/`, `src/server/responses/core.ts` (~6290) |
| L2 | `kimi/k3[1m]` high | catalog parser preserves `supportsImages` | capability propagation + override precedence | `src/adapters/devin/`, `src/codex/catalog/provider-fetch.ts` |
| L3 | `anthropic/claude-opus-5` high | #4516 spare-budget argument restoration | budget/ordering regressions | `src/adapters/cursor/` |
| L4 | `kimi/k3[1m]` high | #4529 carry, version-skew refusal plus its unknown-version case | #4512 live-failure regressions | `src/cli/index.ts`, `src/cli/system-restart-client.ts`, `tests/cli/`, `tests/server/audio-dictation.test.ts` |

Lane A's top layer is security-gated. If it stalls past round 2, cut it loose from
the chain and re-base it directly on `dev` rather than holding the lane open.

L4 is not a tests-only lane. The #4529 carry writes `src/cli/index.ts` and
`src/cli/system-restart-client.ts`, so it carries the same structure obligation as
any other source change. Structure owners per lane: L1 `structure/runtime.md`;
L2 `structure/catalog.md` and `structure/adapters/registry.md`; L3
`structure/runtime.md` and `structure/providers/cursor.md`; L4 the owner of
`src/cli/`. Each lane resolves its owner from `structure/INDEX.md` at its own P and
updates the doc in the same PR, because `bun run structure:check` fails on a doc
that no longer matches the tree.

## Worker policy

Two surfaces, each doing what it is for. A **lane** needs its own branch, its own
CI and its own merge, so every lane is a `create_thread` task with
`environment: worktree`. A **worker inside a lane** is a bounded slice of that
lane's own tree, so it is a subagent, spawned by the lane thread into the lane's
worktree. Subagents belonging to different lanes cannot collide because the
worktrees differ.

Four lane threads: `anthropic/claude-opus-5` on L1 and L3, `kimi/k3[1m]` at high
effort on L2 and L4. Each lane loads `$codexclaw:cxc-loop` and runs its own scoped
PABCD cycle with its own goal and FSM, because a thread owns both.

Inside a lane, workers are `devin/swe-2` and `xai/grok-4.6` subagents at roughly
2:3, with no cap on count. Both ids are accepted by `spawn_agent` even though
`devin/swe-2` is absent from the advertised override list in the tool description;
that omission was verified as a documentation gap on 2026-09-14, not a real
restriction. Only one subagent writes at a time, and no subagent runs a
branch-level git operation.

## Proof policy

No local product suite, typecheck, build or install. Every PR body labels them
NOT RUN. The only proof is hosted Cross-platform CI at the exact head SHA,
dispatched explicitly with `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch> -F lane=all`,
because a sync or rebase does not reliably queue it. Non-tip chain commits carry
`[skip ci]`. Pushes are `--no-verify` and fast-forward only; no shared branch is
force-pushed. Each round closes with one post-merge `dev` run as the joint proof
for that batch.

## Work-phase map

| Phase | Outcome | Depends on |
|---|---|---|
| wp1 | This roadmap, at diff level, before any lane dispatch | — |
| wp2 | Round 1: lanes created, bottom-layer PRs, merge-track approvals, batch merge, post-merge dev CI | wp1 |
| wp3 | Round 2: top-layer PRs, retarget after parents land, batch merge, post-merge dev CI | wp2 |
| wp4 | Closure sweep: resolved issues closed with merge references, superseded PRs and issues closed with written reasons | wp3 |

Phase documents: `010_wp2_round1.md`, `020_wp3_round2.md`, `030_wp4_closure.md`.

## Out of scope

#4022, #4259, #2562, #3283, #3742, #3738, #4020 and #4299; any account-pool
redesign; any Lab import into `src/router.ts`, `src/server/lifecycle.ts` or
`src/server/responses/core.ts`; security write-ups in any tracked directory
(scratch only, per AGENTS.md); rewriting another maintainer's branch; and the
uncommitted `src/codex/inject.ts` and `src/codex/sync.ts` changes observed in the
parent checkout, whose author was never identified.

## Terminal outcomes

DONE needs 9 or more PRs merged, each with a CI run id at its merged SHA or an
explicitly recorded decision to merge without observing CI, both rounds closed with
a post-merge `dev` run, the named issues closed with merge references, and the
superseded set closed with written reasons. NEEDS_HUMAN is reserved for the
security review on #4519 and #4528. A heartbeat firing, a wait timeout or a
compaction is none of these.

Reconcile the Round 1 count with the later records.

This document defines Round 1 as five PRs and omits #4545. 020_wp3_round2.md says Round 1 landed six PRs, and 040_outcome.md records #4545 as a Round 1 merge. If #4545 was added after this plan was written, record that scope change and update the target. Otherwise, correct one of the records. The count controls batch closure and CI proof.

## L1 bottom — bridge backend/model agreement

File: `src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts`.

`sidecarSettingsForBridge` (677-705) takes `sidecar.model` from the global
`config.webSearchSidecar` blob without checking that the global backend equals the
bridge backend, and `core.ts:6290-6296` passes that blob whole. A global
`{backend:"openai", model:"gpt-5.6-luna"}` therefore reaches
`runAnthropicWebSearch` when a provider sets `webSearchBridge.backend: "anthropic"`.
Credentials do not leak — `resolvePassthroughWebSearchBridgeAuth` (155-181)
inspects only the named backend — so this is a model and settings defect, not a key
defect, and the PR body must say exactly that.

```diff
- sidecar?: Pick<OcxWebSearchSidecarConfig, "model" | "reasoning" | "xSearch">;
+ sidecar?: Pick<OcxWebSearchSidecarConfig, "backend" | "model" | "reasoning" | "xSearch">;

- const model = backend === "anthropic" ? sidecar.model ?? DEFAULT_ANTHROPIC_BRIDGE_MODEL
- : backend === "xai" ? sidecar.model ?? DEFAULT_XAI_BRIDGE_MODEL
- : backend === "gemini" ? sidecar.model ?? DEFAULT_GEMINI_BRIDGE_MODEL
- : sidecar.model ?? DEFAULT_OPENAI_BRIDGE_MODEL;
+ const model = modelForBridgeBackend(backend, sidecar);
```

`modelForBridgeBackend` applies `sidecar.model` only when
`resolveSidecarBackend(sidecar.backend) === backend`, and otherwise returns the
backend default. Reuse `resolveSidecarBackend` from `src/web-search/index.ts`; do
not invent a second resolver. `planWebSearch` (index.ts:112-208) already pins the
backend first and is the precedent to follow.

Tests go in `tests/web-search/web-search-passthrough-bridge.test.ts`: a global
openai model with an anthropic bridge yields `claude-sonnet-5`; a matching backend
keeps the override; repeat the matrix for xai and gemini. Structure owner is
`structure/runtime.md`, hosted-search bridge contract at L238-247.

Destination policy stays out of this layer. That is L1 top.

## L2 bottom — Devin catalog preserves supportsImages

File: `src/adapters/devin/cloud-direct/catalog.ts`.

`parseCatalogBuffer` (107-141) has arms for fields 1, 4, 18 and 22 and no default,
so `ClientModelConfig` field 5 is dropped by omission. `disabled` defaults to
`false` when absent; image support must not copy that pattern, because an absent
field has to stay unknown. That is the #1796 precedent, and Antigravity already
implements the tri-state at `src/providers/antigravity-models.ts`:587-592.

```diff
export interface ModelCatalogEntry {
modelUid: string; label: string; disabled: boolean; contextWindow?: number;
+ /** ClientModelConfig #5. Present true/false asserts; omitted means unknown. */
+ supportsImages?: boolean;
}
+ let supportsImages: boolean | undefined;
} else if (sf.num === 4 && sf.wire === 0) { disabled = sf.value === 1n;
+ } else if (sf.num === 5 && sf.wire === 0) { supportsImages = sf.value === 1n;
byUid.set(modelUid, { modelUid, label: label || modelUid, disabled,
...(contextWindow > 0 ? { contextWindow } : {}),
+ ...(supportsImages !== undefined ? { supportsImages } : {}),
});
```

Extend the file-header schema comment with `#5 supportsImages bool` in the same
commit; the comment is the only schema documentation this parser has.

Test: extend `"the catalog parser reads the per-account context window"` in
`tests/providers/devin-adapter.test.ts` (300-323) with three cases built from
`encodeVarintField(5, 1)`, `encodeVarintField(5, 0)` and omission, asserting
`true`, `false` and `undefined`. Encoder helpers already exist at
`src/adapters/devin/cloud-direct/wire.ts`:54-63.

PR #4511 touches only `src/vision/eligibility.ts` and its test, so there is no file
overlap. Do not wait on it and do not restack into it.

Corrections returned by L2 after doing the work: `encodeVarintField` is at
`wire.ts`:63-65, not 54-63; `parseCatalogBuffer` spans 107-142; the file-header
schema comment omits field 18 as well as field 5, so the patch documents both and
carries per-field provenance instead of a blanket "verified against extension.js"
claim, because field 5 identity is corroborated from external ClientModelConfig
documentation rather than re-read from the vendor bundle. For this layer the only
structure owner that actually documents the Devin adapter in prose is
`structure/adapters/registry.md`; `structure/catalog.md` has no Devin mention and
owns the round-2 provider-fetch surface instead.

## L3 bottom — Cursor spare-budget restoration

File: `src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts`. The per-call 2 KiB cap
(`CURSOR_INVOCATION_ARGUMENTS_BYTE_LIMIT`, line 84) is applied at envelope
construction in `toolCallArgumentsText` (937-967) and never revisited, even when
almost all of the 192-root and 512 KiB envelope is unused. A 4,693-byte successful
call loses its tail inside a 6,011-byte replay.

Insert a second pass after `selected` is assembled (near line 694) and before the
return. It spends only leftover aggregate bytes, newest `toolResult` first, skips
`outputElided` roots, and never evicts a retained root. It does not remove the cap:
admission still uses the 2 KiB prefix.

Two review-surviving details from recon:

- Gate on `echoToolResultInRoot && replayedCalls` rather than
`externalModel && replayedCalls`. Native `composer-2.5` echoes results into roots
but is not an external wire model, so the narrower gate would leave it capped.
- Use the callback form of `String.prototype.replace` so replacement patterns
appearing inside serialized arguments are not expanded by the replace call.

The two existing 600 KiB tests in
`tests/providers/cursor/cursor-tool-result-invocation.test.ts` stay unchanged and
must stay green: `"PROBE a huge argument must not evict the result output from root
replay"` (244) and `"the truncated invocation line stays within the declared
argument budget"` (261). They are the proof that the cap still bites under
pressure.

The PR body states that this claims nothing about #3506 causation. The four
rejected patches there were 1,648, 1,396, 1,670 and 1,900 bytes, all under the cap.

## Merge track in round 1

Every contributor PR has Cross-platform CI queued and stuck at `action_required`;
none has ever executed a job. Approving those runs is the first action of the
round, not the last.

- #4511 at `6d926244101cb6234b66634464007268a06b1d89`: no outstanding reviewer ask,
non-draft, readiness 4/4. Approve CI, wait for green, merge.
- #4512 at `0235ce604cb907185295e42b05754d11d11a0bb2`: non-draft, readiness 4/4,
one open CodeRabbit ask for live `handleExternalLive` regressions. Do not push a
carry commit onto that branch. The readiness gate binds to the exact head, so a
new push resets the checklist and re-drafts the PR. Merge as-is and deliver the
asked coverage as our own follow-up PR in round 2.
- #4528 (2/4) and #4529 (0/4) are drafts. Approve their CI in round 1 so round 2
has real information, but plan them as carries rather than direct merges.

## Merge and proof mechanics

Each lane pushes with `--no-verify`, fast-forward only. Non-tip chain commits carry
`[skip ci]`. For each PR, dispatch CI explicitly, because a sync or rebase does not
reliably queue it:

```sh
gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch> -F lane=all
```

One ruleset term the batch argument has to respect:
`require_extra_approval_for_unattributed_changes` is true on `dev`. A carry that
replays another author's commits can therefore need an approval beyond the standard
one. The mitigation is to author each carry as our own commits with a
`Co-authored-by` trailer rather than cherry-picking the contributor's commits; the
trailer is what GitHub reads for credit, and the change stays attributed to the
pushing author for the ruleset.

Wait for that run at the exact head SHA, then merge. Because `dev` carries no
required-status-check rule and no strict up-to-date rule, the five PRs may merge
back to back inside one generation; their write-sets are disjoint, so the residual
risk is semantic rather than textual. Close the round with one post-merge `dev`
Cross-platform CI run and record its id.

Every PR body fills Summary, Verification and Checklist, and states plainly that
the local suite, typecheck, build and install were NOT RUN, naming the hosted run
id and SHA as the only proof.

One thing the lanes discovered that makes this policy stronger than intended: a
fresh lane worktree has no `node_modules`, so a focused `bun test` cannot execute
at all without `bun install`. Local focused runs are therefore impossible in a lane
rather than merely disallowed, and hosted CI is the only evidence that could exist.
The one check that runs without install is `bun run structure:check`, used for
debugging the doc gate and never cited as proof.
