get_logs_dir(registry_dir) resolves the audit-log root as the
delegate_job_logs next to the registry in use when DELEGATE_JOB_LOGS_DIR
is not set; sibling_logs_dir() is the pure sibling rule. Every writer and
reader that knows its registry (registry, engine, publish_event, remote,
job_subscriber, reconcile.sh, the loop runner's fingerprint exclusion)
passes that root instead of falling back to the workspace default.

The wrapper keeps spawn / wait / kill, key injection and the herdr
diagnostic probe; what it decided in bash is now lib_py/delegation/wrapper.py,
reached through one `_decide` helper:
- finalize_unfinished: the clock choice, the disk grace and broker
re-observation, the close request / label, the close and the event
(finalize-begin / finalize-end; bash runs only the busy probe between them)
- start_stall_watch: whether to watch (MAM_STALL_WATCH, remote, human)
- _map_sub_rc, _rc_for (+ MAM_DELEGATE_FAIL_CLOSED), the subscriber
early-exit check and cmd_wait's rc normalisation
- mam_int / mam_int_knob run lib_py/ints.py, which is also the runner's
_positive_int: one implementation of the Issue #26 rule
No behaviour change: tests/test_issue17_item4_decisions.py runs the old
bash functions (copied verbatim from 7209750) and the new wrapper on the
same inputs and compares output, FINAL_JOB_STATUS and the registry /
publish calls. Three static tests that pinned the old bash literals now
pin the Python entry points instead.

MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S silently fell back to 300 on anything but bare digits
(" 30 " too), MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S went through float() (abc raised ValueError,
0.5 and 1e3 were taken) and MAM_JOB_TREE_MAX through int() (abc and an
empty value raised). All three now go through runner._int_knob, which is
_positive_int's rule (PR #43 review grok): decimal, blanks around allowed,
an invalid value warns once and the default is used. Minimums:
MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S >= 0 (wait exactly the budget), MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S >= 0
(look once; test_issue34 uses 0), MAM_JOB_TREE_MAX >= 1 (a cap of 0 calls
every tree "over"; not waiting is MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S=0).
The loop SKILL.md now names MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S in the budget row and the
sub-job paragraph (PR #41 M6), with the knobs' integer rules.
Tests: RUNNER_INT_KNOBS in test_issue26_ints.py holds the minimums; the
real wait_for_descendants is driven per knob, and a static check ties the
call-site minimums to the table (15 of the new cases fail at 0051fd6; the
14 that pass are valid values whose result did not change).

R1 (P1): a quoted export still ran code when the key was a bash special
variable (RANDOM=a[$(cmd)] is evaluated arithmetically on assignment).
envfile.RESERVED (bash's own variables, plus BASH_/COMP_/READLINE_
prefixes) is skipped with a line-numbered warning by both loaders; a test
keeps it covering every variable a clean bash defines. The wrapper also
hands SCRIPT_DIR/REPO_ROOT/TARGET_ENV to the parser as environment, so the
file cannot replace the variables it has already set.
R2 (P2): SKS_QUIESCENT_TRIES reached `for ((i < tries))` through a function
argument; it is normalised at the call site (minimum 0). B5 now requires
every integer-looking env default in the shell code to be normalised or
listed in NOT_ARITHMETIC with where it goes, and exercises _pane_quiescent.
R3 (P2): _positive_int strips leading zeros and rejects more than nine
significant digits before int(), like mam_int; 5000-digit inputs no longer
raise in the runner.

bash read MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S=0700 as octal 448 (and failed on 0900) while
the loop runner read 700. One rule now, with a per-knob minimum:
lib.sh mam_int / mam_int_knob and runner._positive_int (blanks allowed,
digits only, decimal, min <= n <= 999999999).
- minimum 1: MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S, MAM_HEARTBEAT_SEC, MAM_HEARTBEAT_MISSES,
MAM_ACK_TIMEOUT_S (invalid env: warning + default) and the wrapper's
--timeout/--idle-timeout/--heartbeat/--heartbeat-misses/--ack-timeout
(invalid: rc 1); the runner's job_budget, --job-timeout, contract_args.
- minimum 0 (0 = check once): MAM_INJECT_ACK_GRACE_S,
delegate_wait_started's ack_s, SKS_DIALOG_TIMEOUT, SKS_BUSY_TIMEOUT,
SKS_DELIVERY_GRACE_S.
- tests/test_issue26_ints.py: INT_KNOBS is the one table of minimums; a
static guard keeps env defaults out of arithmetic and checks each
normalised knob against it.

- R1 (P1): without rules the input region runs from the last prompt line to
the end of the pane; only a last line matching the adapter's footer pattern
(codex: ` <model> · ~/<cwd> · …`) is dropped, so a draft on a second line
keeps the nudge withheld.
- R2: while the synchronous submit runs, a relay thread finds the job it
registers (same session, created since the submit) and prints its
stalled:/stall_watch: notices; before, they appeared only after the job.
- R3: the broker-unavailable disk wait that runs into the deadline is the wall
clock: wall_clock_timeout (caller rc stays 3).
- R4: a state_change_seq change seen right before the judgement restarts the
idle window (decision 9: S seconds of continuous idle).
Regression tests are the reviewer's reproductions, each with its passing
twin; the wrapper-level #30 tests now use this environment's broker instead
of the #18 harness's public default.

lib_py/stall_watch.py runs beside the wrapper's subscriber for a local herdr
job (started after delivery, stopped when the subscriber ends; MAM_STALL_WATCH=0
turns it off). It follows `herdr agent wait` transitions and publishes only
`progress` events through one publisher; it has no path that closes a job.
- blocked: `stalled:blocked <detection line>` once per episode, never answered.
- idle for MAM_STALL_IDLE_S (600) with no background descendants of the agent
pid (pane process-info + /proc; adapter resident_children and the heartbeat
timer excluded) and an empty input box: `stalled:idle` and one nudge.
- input box judged from adapter facts measured on herdr 0.9.1 (codex '›',
grok frame '│', opencode '┃' block + stop pattern); the whole-pane fallback
is gone. No facts: withheld + `stall_watch:input_check_unavailable` once;
never empty for 3 x S: `stall_watch:input_never_empty` once.
- herdr failures are not "no event": warning + `stall_watch:herdr_unavailable:
<code>` (or agent_not_found), backoff, rc 2 after MAM_STALL_HERDR_FAIL_S
(120); the wrapper prints the watcher's last lines.
- remote and human jobs are skipped with one log line.
- agent_status_reliable is an adapter field; false turns idle judgement off.
- the loop runner relays stalled:/stall_watch: notices once each.
- scoped_env drops a pane-inherited workspace scope for name lookups (#34 rule).
The module sits at the top of lib_py: delegation and loop may not import the
agent adapters (their sibling-import rules). Idle pane captures of the five
CLIs are fixtures; the mock herdr answers process-info in the real shape.

- wrapper: TIMEOUT falls back to MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S (--timeout > env > 3600);
an invalid value warns and keeps 3600.
- loop: --job-timeout <sec> (run_loop.sh passes it on; refused in the legacy
shell loop). The runner always hands the wrapper --timeout, so the budget
the wrapper registers is the one its wait caps come from.
- runner: wait_for_job and the MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S default are budget + 300 s
(MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S), today's 3900 with no option; an explicit
MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S still wins.
- subscriber: the wall-clock budget returns 4 (RC_WALL_CLOCK), silence keeps
2 (RC_NO_EVENT). The wrapper maps both to caller rc 2 and labels the close
from the rc: wall_clock_timeout vs deadline_timeout; the disk-heartbeat
grace that ends on the deadline is the wall clock too.
- registry close accepts wall_clock_timeout (engine: -> error); the remote
runner's deadline and command-timeout details lead with wall_clock_timeout;
the sub-job table files it CLOSED-UNCONFIRMED (first token, colon stripped).
Test expectations changed only where the contract changed: the loop's
contract_args now starts with --timeout, the subscriber's exit-code docstring
names rc 2/4, and the registry --help capture lists the new close kind.

remote.py closes a job whose end it could not see with
`error --detail "deadline_timeout (remote runner)"`; the sub-job table
matched the reason exactly and filed it as a plain failure, losing the
unconfirmed count and the late-write warning (merge review, codex R2).
The kind is the first word of the reason now. Test T14 replays the
remote runner's close through the real registry and producer; it fails
without the fix.

- registry.get_feedback only returned the detail of the last completed or
error event, so a sub-job the wrapper cancelled before injection
(target_not_found, session_busy) reached the review table as a bare
`cancelled` and its reason was lost (merge review, grok N1). get_feedback
takes the event kinds to read (default unchanged); the table asks for
cancelled too and shows NOT-DISPATCHED with the reason. Test T13, both
reasons, fails without the fix.
- the [귀속되지 않은 열린 잡] line listed jobs registered without
--parent-job but gave the reviewer no rule for them - the one case the
table cannot show (claude K1). A rule sentence follows the line whenever
such a job exists; without one the prompt is unchanged. T6 pins it.

Without --worktree/--base the guard fingerprinted the source on every
loop, so a loop whose source holds untracked files that change on every
job voided each round: test_tier4_e2e scenario 5 keeps the mock herdr's
state file (rewritten on each herdr call) in its repository and failed
with rc 1 on 3fdbb62 (passed on 7a4a0c2). A loop without sub-delegation
now behaves as before (issue #34 requirement 3); with sub-jobs the guard
protects against a deadline-closed sub-job still writing.

round_roots was replaced by the correction job, so an implementation
job's open or failed sub-job vanished from the next review and the loop
could pass (planner-reviewer-codex-01, P2). The run's creator jobs now
accumulate; each wait still covers only the new job's tree, so the wait
cap is not paid again per round. T9 covers open / error / completed.

- runner._run_cmd: the write of the prompt file was outside the cleanup
and error handling that the exec had (merge review: claude H1, codex R1).
A failed write now removes the partial file and returns the same 126
failed submit an unstartable wrapper does, so the loop ends with rc 1
and no traceback. Test S4c.
- test S9 required the literal "File too large" in stderr; bash 3.2 on
macOS prints nothing for EFBIG, so the whole suite failed on this host
(agy, grok, codex R2). The contract asserted everywhere is rc != 0, no
leftover file and the portable diagnostic line; the libc wording is
checked on Linux only.
- the wrapper accepted an empty --prompt-file and registered an empty
prompt (claude H3); it is refused now. Test S1e.

Review of f5cadd9 (planner-reviewer-codex-01, R1): the compliance job's
registration failure was only logged, so a passing next round ended the
real loop process with rc 0. Compliance now returns 1 when it cannot be
registered or does not finish, as the correction step already does.
Re-adjudication and arbitration also return 1 when their job cannot be
registered; a registered job that yields no verdict keeps the designed
fail-closed fallback.
S4c (stubbed delegate_job, a fixture whose later rounds never pass) is
replaced by S3c: a real `python -m lib_py.loop` process whose wrapper runs
an executable that simulates the agents, refusing the compliance,
re-adjudication or arbitration registration while the next round passes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
delegate_job writes the prompt to a temp file under the control root's .mam/
and hands the wrapper --prompt-file; the file is removed once the wrapper
returns. An OSError from starting the wrapper becomes a failed submit (rc 126)
that the existing error branch logs, so the session-busy retry no longer
dereferences a missing result. A retry that yields no job id, and a
compliance job that cannot be registered, are now logged instead of silent.
The collector caps are documented as the size of the evidence a reviewer is
shown; delivery has no cap of its own any more. The loop skill notes that a
pipeline hides the loop's exit code.

Review R1/N1 (reviewer-grok-01, planner-reviewer-codex-01), reproduced before
fixing. The usage line and SKILL.md both promise "relative to the control
root", but parse_args did Path(...).expanduser().resolve(), which is relative
to the caller's cwd. The runner never chdirs to workspace_root, so the two are
routinely different - the documented recipe runs the loop from the control root
while the source root is a worktree.
Two ways it went wrong: a plan that exists only under the control root was not
found at all (exit 1), and a same-named file in the caller's cwd was loaded
instead, quietly putting an unrelated plan into the first implementation
prompt. That second one is the very failure #25 is about, reintroduced through
the option meant to replace it.
Resolve against workspace_root the way jobs_dir already does (Issue #21 R2);
pathlib's `/` leaves an absolute or expanded-home path untouched. Every earlier
test passed an absolute tmp_path, which is why none of them caught this: P3c
covers both failure modes with the control root away from the caller's cwd, and
P3d pins that absolute and ~ paths are not rewritten.

The --plan-file check landed on the one path a human is watching. The three
--plan-mode loads read a report written by another agent with nobody watching,
and had no content check at all: find_report only tests that the path exists.
An empty or whitespace-only report therefore blanked current_plan in silence.
Phase 2's `if self.current_plan` then flipped the prompt to self-planning and
the run finished rc 0, having paid for a planner job, a Creator challenge and a
refine job and thrown the result away. The escalation refine was worse: it has
no guard, so the correction prompt asserted "follow the updated plan below" and
carried nothing.
All four loads share _plan_text() now - a plan is a readable regular file with
text in it - and each caller says what None means. An empty initial plan stops
the run instead of demoting it, and an empty refine warns and keeps the plan it
already has, which is still good. Those two together leave the escalation
prompt unable to claim a plan it does not carry, so it needs no new branch.
Found by the Creator's challenge to the plan (job 0f63ac1d), sustained by the
Planner as revision 1.

Without --plan, Phase 1 resolved a planner session automatically and globbed
<workspace_root>/.agents/reports/<planner>/plan-*.md for the newest file by
mtime, handing it to the Creator as "the plan already agreed on". Both keys are
wrong: the report directory belongs to a session, not to this task, so other
issues' plans pile up in it, and right after a clone or checkout mtime is
checkout order. 47 such plans are committed in this repository, so an ordinary
run could silently implement against an unrelated design.
Reuse is explicit now. --plan-file <path> is the only way to load an existing
plan; it is resolved against the control root, checked before a single job
exists, and refused if the file is missing, not a regular file, unreadable or
empty (an empty file would quietly turn into a "no plan" prompt). It cannot be
combined with --plan, and --review-only warns and ignores it because no
implementation job is delegated there. The implementation prompt itself is
unchanged, so the Creator's contract does not move.
Phase 1 now says which plan it loaded and where from, or that it loaded none.
The legacy shell loop (MAM_LOOP_PY=0) loses the same auto-load and rejects
--plan-file rather than duplicating the check on a path that is on its way out.

- worktree_prepare.sh installs the same files deploy/install.sh does
(.agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-delegate-job/requirements.txt: paho-mqtt,
PyYAML) plus requirements*.txt. Without paho the loop wrapper, stop_session
and the subscriber tests fail in the worktree - seen as 4 suite failures
in a worktree without its own venv, all passing with one.
- review D1: a failed pip install removes the venv it half made, so the next
run recreates it instead of reporting VENV=kept (test w1c).
- review D3: the [worktree context] block's uncommitted-changes flag uses
--untracked-files=all like the guards.
- review D2: the create skill doc says the install needs the package index.

R1/R2: `git status --porcelain` honours status.showUntrackedFiles, so a
`no` setting in a submodule (or the worktree) hid untracked files from the
checks that justify worktree_remove.sh's single --force and from the review
snapshot guard (_dirty_submodules), which then approved content it never
captured. All three checks (lib_py/worktree.py, worktree_remove.sh,
runner._dirty_submodules) now pass --untracked-files=all. The source tree's
own snapshot was already safe: `git add -A` ignores that setting.
R3: worktree_prepare.sh no longer links .venv to the control root's. It
creates the worktree's own venv with the control root's interpreter and
installs requirements*.txt; a leftover link is refused (exit 1), a control
root without an interpreter is a warning (VENV=skipped); VENV= is printed.
Tests: w1 (real venv, kept on re-run), w1b (link refused / skipped), w6e
parametrised over the hidden setting for the post-stop recheck, w6e2
(hidden untracked file in the submodule and in the worktree blocks the
removal), l17 untracked-hidden / during-hidden (guard refuses before the
first review; a mid-round hidden file makes the round stale). Each new
case fails without the fix.

Active with --worktree/--base only; without them prompts, flow and promotion
are unchanged (a loop_id is recorded in the checkpoint either way).
- Every review round is pinned (B3): the source's HEAD and its working state
as a tree built through a temporary index (the real index/status/refs are
untouched); a dirty state becomes a ref-less snapshot commit on HEAD
(committed as mam-loop, not as the user). An untracked nested repository
cannot be pinned and is refused. identity = (loop_id, base, head, tree).
- Review isolation (B4): a detached review worktree of the snapshot under
TMPDIR (default), or `--review-isolation env` (the source root with env and
temp-dir instructions). Failing to open the tree refuses the round - the
isolation is never lowered silently. Trees are removed after the round and
on any exit (run() wraps the body; release_guard too).
- The reviewers' diff comes from the snapshot (B13):
diff_collect.sh takes an optional head commit for a commit-to-commit diff;
its two-argument form is byte-identical.
- Stale rounds (B7/B8): after the round the source is measured again; if it
changed, the round's approvals are discarded and the next iteration
re-reviews without a correction job (last iteration: rc 1). Only the last
non-stale round's PASSes are promoted.
- Records (B9/B15): review_rounds in the checkpoint with per-reviewer
transport/evidence, and report-<jid>.identity.json next to each promoted
report: evidence review-tree | source-tree | diff-only.
- Pre-promotion re-check (B10): a source changed after approval is not
promoted (rc 1).
- Remote reviewers (B14, Creator challenge 91c81095): they cannot reach this
host's review tree. Checked before anything is delegated: refused by
default; `--remote-review diff-only` admits them with the snapshot SHAs and
diff as their only evidence (no local path in their prompt), and refuses a
round whose diff is truncated or unavailable.
- run_loop.sh accepts both options (usage identical to the runner's); the
legacy shell loop refuses them before the lock.

Review 9a1adb46 (planner-reviewer-codex-01):
- R1 [P1] lib.sh new-session: a forwarded binding reached the agent as
arguments. With env flags the idle-pane branch prefixed `env K=V ...` to
the command that `herdr agent start ... --kind <agent> -- <args>` passes to
the agent executable. An idle pane is now reused only when no environment
has to be set; otherwise the pane is created by pane split / workspace
create, which take --env. The dead `env` prefix code is removed (its
send-text fallback would have typed the same line).
- R2 [P2] runner: a relative MAM_JOBS_DIR is resolved once against the
control root, the way the wrapper (cwd=workspace_root) reads it, and that
absolute dir is used for delegation, wait, report lookup and cleanup.
- R3 [P2] stop: the row's control_plane.delegate_job_logs_dir is restored
(exported unless the caller set DELEGATE_JOB_LOGS_DIR), so the
cancellation history lands in the row's audit-log root.
Tests: T3-1 and T3-3 now assert that the binding arrives as --env on the
pane-creation calls and that no env/K=V token follows `--` in agent start
(fresh and reused pane); T3-4c (audit root on stop) and T2-15 (relative
MAM_JOBS_DIR) are new. The design doc's compatibility table and a create
comment no longer describe the removed idle-pane env path.

- --worktree <path> (CLI over MAM_LOOP_WORKTREE): the source root. Only the
diff, base, head and the empty-set check use it; the wrapper, registry,
checkpoint, loop guard, promotion and cleanup stay on the control root. The
collector is the control root's diff_collect.sh (never the worktree's
unreviewed copy), its arguments shlex-quoted. Validation: an existing
directory, the top of its working tree, the same git common dir as the
control root (".git" is resolved against the directory it came from).
- --base <ref> (CLI only, no env - a stale sha would silently widen the next
range): resolved to a full sha, must be an ancestor of the source HEAD.
- --review-only: requires --base, refuses --plan; Phase 2 is skipped and
logged; correction and comply jobs still go to the creator.
- With --worktree or --base every delegated prompt starts with a context
block (path, branch, base and its origin, head, base..head commit count,
uncommitted changes); without them prompts are byte-identical. All call
sites in run() go through one _dispatch helper.
- Fail-closed guard (only with --worktree/--base): before each review round,
self-review included, an empty change set or one git cannot determine
(exit codes, never output parsing) ends the loop with rc 1 instead of
asking for reviews. This closes the fail-open where a loop started after
an out-of-loop commit sent reviewers "(no changes since base commit)".
- The runner honours MAM_JOBS_DIR and passes --registry-dir to the wrapper.
- run_loop.sh accepts the three options; the legacy shell loop
(MAM_LOOP_PY=0) refuses them before the freeze and the loop lock.

Contract (no new event types): heartbeat every N s (automatic timer),
unresponsive after K x N s without an event, `started` within T s of the
injection, retained per-job state, and a remote transport.
- registry: heartbeat_sec / heartbeat_misses / ack_timeout_sec / transport
fields; idle_timeout_sec derives K x N unless explicit (defaults 30/4/60
keep the historical 120 s idle window).
- heartbeat.py + publish_event --heartbeat N: detached fixed-cadence timer
publishing signed `progress` heartbeats (threaded wire publish, local
record first); stopped by the terminal event via pidfile, by re-dispatch
and by lifetime. Terminal events refuse --heartbeat.
- publish_event: retained `<prefix>/state` (status, last_event, seq, HMAC)
sent on the same connection after every event (--no-state to skip);
publisher.publish_raw takes extra messages.
- job_subscriber: subscribes the state topic, recovers terminal status from
retained state, resets idle on any accepted message, records seq_gap and
reconnected in the audit log, idle budget before the first event is
T + K x N (--ack-timeout), --remote mirrors started/terminal events into
the registry through the transition boundary.
- lib.sh send_keys_safe: an accepted-but-unconfirmed submission is confirmed
by agent_status working or the job's own `started` (_sks_job_started);
pane change and busy token are no longer delivery signals.

injected start command arms the timer, brief states the contract,

the wall clock) replaces the 10 s inject grace, R1 grace uses only the
on-disk event age (herdr/pane logged once as a diagnostic),
remote:<name> sessions skip preflight/idle/pane and dispatch over the
broker (remote_dispatch).
- remote.py (+ scripts shim): signed retained dispatch (MAM_DISPATCH_SECRET)
and a runner that mirrors the job into its own registry with the
orchestrator's identity, publishes started --heartbeat, runs --exec and
publishes the terminal event.
- loop runner: passes MAM_HEARTBEAT_SEC / MAM_HEARTBEAT_MISSES /
MAM_ACK_TIMEOUT_S through; YAML rows with transport: remote delegate as
remote:<name>.
- docs: MESSAGING.md 2.5 contract + remote transport, delegate-job SKILL.md,
registry.md, loop SKILL.md.
- tests: tests/test_issue18_liveness_contract.py (16); issue 14 pane-signal
tests flipped to started-based; issue 6 working-agent tests acknowledge
with started; CLI snapshot/help captures refreshed.
