Closes #268.
Closes #269.
Closes #270.
Closes #271.
Closes #272.
Closes #273.
Closes #274.

Gives the work graph a tier vocabulary that sits above provider and channel, so "this node needs a strong model" means the same thing whether the principal is claude or codex — and so the retro can compare effort levels across providers instead of comparing model slugs that rot.

The whole feature ships behind tier_policy.enabled, which defaults to false. A session launched with the toggle off behaves exactly as v0.47.0.

What landed

Issue What it adds
#269 TaskTier on the task line, node, API and inspector; PlanReady inflation ceiling
#270 LADDER[provider][tier] as maintained config, resolved through CliRegistry
#271 tier_policy on HiveExecutionPolicy + launch-time ladder snapshot
#272 Sub-worker model/flags resolved from node tier at spawn; dispatch ceiling; review floor
#273 Per-provider tier language in the Capability Card
#274 executed_as on completion facts; tier axis in the retro with calibration proposals

Reviewer notes — please look here first

1. Effort is not --model. It rides in provider-native flags: codex -c model_reasoning_effort="…", claude --settings {"effortLevel":"…"}. Issues #270 and #273 both describe this incorrectly; the implementation follows the actual applyPreset behaviour.

2. A gated permission widening. AgentRole::Worker becomes an eligible spawn parent only under the conjunction (policy enabled AND resolved dispatch context present AND parent is a Worker). The baseline allowlist rejected Worker, which made #272's coding-principal ceiling case unreachable — the acceptance criterion described a path the code could not take. Disabled-policy eligibility is byte-identical to before. This is the change most worth a careful read.

3. Drift protection that actually bites. The ladder parity test include_str!s the real AgentConfigEditor.svelte and asserts exact applyPreset case bytes, so editing the frontend preset switch fails the Rust build.

4. Two fixed-byte prompt goldens. Every pre-existing prompt test was a contains substring check, so an unconditional ## Tier section would have shipped silently past all 17 of them. disabled_tier_policy_preserves_v047_capability_card_bytes and disabled_policy_preserves_v047_full_planner_prompt_bytes assert the complete disabled-path bytes.

5. Backward compatibility. serde_json::from_str::<HiveExecutionPolicy>("{}") == Default still holds and missing_policy_fields_deserialize_to_legacy_defaults is untouched. frozen_wire_names_are_snake_case took only additions — a field in its exhaustive literal plus new assertions; no existing assertion changed.

6. Propose-only. The retro's planner and ladder calibration proposals have no filesystem handle, and the tests snapshot the project and wiki trees before and after to prove no write.

  • The Rust ladder table and the ~40-case Svelte applyPreset switch remain two sources of truth; the parity test covers only the eight cells that matter.
  • The shared TypeScript HiveLaunchConfig in src/lib/types/domain.ts has no tier_policy; hiveLaunch.ts uses a local intersection type.

…dependent effort vocabulary (v0.48.0)

Give the work graph a `tier` vocabulary that sits above provider and channel, so
"this node needs a strong model" means the same thing whether the principal is
`claude` or `codex`, and so the retro can compare effort levels across providers
instead of comparing model slugs that rot.

The whole feature ships behind `tier_policy.enabled`, which defaults to **false**.
A session launched with the toggle off behaves exactly as v0.47.0.

- #269 `TaskTier` on the task line, the node, the API and the inspector, plus the
  PlanReady inflation ceiling (inclusive, integer arithmetic, `Review` nodes
  excluded from both sides, zero-denominator guarded)
- #270 `LADDER[provider][tier]` as maintained config with three-source resolution
  (institutional wiki -> embedded default -> `.ai-docs/tiers/ladder.md` per-cell
  override), resolved through `CliRegistry::resolve_tier`
- #271 `tier_policy` on `HiveExecutionPolicy` with a launch-time ladder snapshot
  frozen per roster provider, so editing the override later cannot change a
  running session
- #272 sub-worker model/flags resolved from node tier at spawn, a 409
  `tier_exceeds_dispatch_ceiling`, and the review-lens floor
- #273 per-provider tier language in the Capability Card, in each harness's own
  vocabulary
- #274 `executed_as` on completion facts through the ledger, heartbeat, runtime
  outcome and archive projection, plus the retro tier axis with propose-only
  planner and ladder calibration proposals

Notes for review:

- Effort is carried in provider-native `flags` (codex `-c model_reasoning_effort`,
  claude `--settings {"effortLevel"}`), not `--model`. Issues #270/#273 describe
  this incorrectly.
- `AgentRole::Worker` becomes an eligible spawn parent only under the conjunction
  (policy enabled AND resolved dispatch context AND parent is a Worker). This is a
  deliberate, gated permission widening: without it #272's acceptance case was
  unreachable. Disabled-policy eligibility is unchanged.
- A parity test pins the eight ladder cells against the Svelte `applyPreset`
  switch by reading the real component bytes, so frontend drift fails the build.
- Two fixed-byte golden tests assert the disabled path renders v0.47.0 prompt
  bytes exactly; every pre-existing prompt test was a substring check and would
  not have caught an unconditional Tier section.

Gates: cargo test --lib 948 passed; cargo clippy clean; svelte-check 0 errors;
npm test 35 files / 200 tests; codegraph reachability 148 modules / 0 findings.

Workers now resolve provider-native models and flags from task tiers, enforce dispatch ceilings and review floors, record executed_as, accept structured heartbeat completions, expose tier and execution metadata in APIs, and render it in the workgraph UI.
Retro metrics and calibration proposals
src-tauri/src/orchestrator/work_graph/retro.rs, src-tauri/src/orchestrator/work_graph/archetypes.rs, src-tauri/src/http/tests_wg_retro.rs, src-tauri/src/http/tests_wg_verifier.rs
Retro reports now compute task-tier metrics from execution provenance, emit planner and ladder calibration proposals, and keep proposal generation read-only in tests.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 95f02

Enabled tier routing can launch workers with an unexpected provider, model, or tier ladder and can lose execution provenance used by inspection and retrospectives. These material routing and reporting issues should be resolved before merge.

Poem

Rabbit taps tiers in a neat little row,
Model and flags now know where to go.
I carried executed_as home in a pack,
So retro can follow each hopper's track.
The ladder stands ready, from low up to grand,
And soft bunny paws shipped 0.48.0 on land.

Preserve event-only execution provenance.

If the completion-ledger append fails, QueueManager still publishes a WorkNodeCompleted event with executed_as. This path has no completion fact for this block to copy. update_event_outcome does not read that event payload, so runtime progress and archived outcomes lose valid execution provenance.

Parse and retain executed_as from valid WorkNodeCompleted events as a fallback. Keep completion facts authoritative when they exist. Add a regression test that forces ledger append failure with populated metadata, then derives the runtime graph from the persisted events.

Comment thread src/lib/components/LaunchDialog.svelte
Each finding was adjudicated against the real code rather than applied on
assertion. Five were valid and are fixed here; one is deferred to an issue with
reasoning below.

- sessions.rs — the launch snapshot passed `None` as the institutional wiki root
  while the `/api/tier-ladder` preview uses `configured_institutional_wiki_root`.
  With a configured `global_wiki_path` a preview could differ from the ladder
  actually frozen into the session. The helper is now `pub(crate)` and both paths
  resolve identically.

- workers.rs — `read_tier_graph` read the legacy work graph first, while the
  adjacent `queue_scheduling_facts` treats the graph composition state as
  authoritative. Routing and scheduling could resolve a node's tier against
  different graphs. Tier routing now reads composition state first, matching the
  scheduling authority.

- workers.rs — an explicitly requested `cli` was validated and then silently
  overwritten by the parent's inherited provider, so a caller asking for `codex`
  under a `claude` parent got `claude` with no signal. A sub-worker inheriting its
  parent's provider is intended; discarding explicit intent silently is not. A
  conflicting explicit `cli` now returns 409 `cli_conflicts_with_inherited_provider`
  naming both values.

- retro.rs — tier attempt counting checked only archive-level event-log
  availability, whereas `node_metrics` additionally filters `event_backed`. A
  completion fact with no `event:` source ref would inflate the tier metric while
  leaving the per-node metric untouched. Both now filter identically.

- LaunchDialog.svelte — `novalidate`, added so the popup could own ceiling
  validation, also disabled the browser's `min`/`max` enforcement on the four
  delegation-limit inputs, leaving them unvalidated. Those bounds are now checked
  in `handleSubmit` before dispatch.

Deferred: the ledger-append-failure path can publish a `WorkNodeCompleted` event
carrying `executed_as` with no corresponding completion fact, and
`update_event_outcome` does not read the event payload, so runtime and archived
outcomes lose that provenance. Real, but a failure-path edge case needing a
design decision about event-sourced provenance rather than a quick patch.

hiveLaunch suites 13 passed.

Reconciliation round 1 — adjudication of all 6 CodeRabbit findings

Each finding was verified against the current code before acting, rather than applied on assertion. Five were valid and are fixed in 9799052; one is valid but deferred with reasoning.

# Finding Verdict Disposition
1 sessions.rs — wiki root not passed to launch valid fixed
2 workers.rs — graph reader precedence disagrees valid fixed
3 workers.rs — explicit cli silently discarded valid fixed, but not the way proposed
4 retro.rs — attempts not filtered by event_backed valid fixed
5 runtime.rs — ledger failure loses provenance valid deferred → #279
6 LaunchDialog.sveltenovalidate disabled range checks valid fixed

Where the adjudication changed the outcome

#3 — the obvious fix would have contradicted a deliberate decision. It reads as "explicit input should win," but operator decision 1 on #268 states a sub-worker inherits its parent's provider, so the override is correct by design. The actual defect was the silence: an explicitly requested cli was validated and then replaced with no signal, so a caller asking for codex under a claude parent silently got claude. Rather than invert the inheritance rule, a conflicting explicit cli now returns 409 cli_conflicts_with_inherited_provider naming both values. This keeps the epic's consistent rule — never a silent default.

#5 — real, but not a quick patch. If the ledger append fails, QueueManager still publishes WorkNodeCompleted carrying executed_as, and update_event_outcome never reads that payload, so runtime and archived outcomes lose the provenance. Fixing it needs a decision about whether runtime outcomes become event-sourced for provenance generally, or whether this one field is reconciled as a special case. Patching it hastily risks event-derived and fact-derived provenance disagreeing, which is worse than today's honest-but-lossy behaviour. Filed as #279 with a reproduction sketch.

Two of the six were mine, not the workers'

Gates after the fixes

cargo test --lib 948 passed · cargo clippy clean · svelte-check 0 errors · npm test 35 files / 200 tests · codegraph 148 modules / 0 findings. CI green on all three checks for 9799052.

The one remaining unresolved thread is #5, intentionally left open so it is not mistaken for fixed.
