1. Executive Summary

This cross-code review evaluated recent architectural refactorings and bug fixes in the multi-agent-mux system. Specifically:

1. Session Isolation Simplification (f0a2103): Replaced complex legacy home-isolation directory copying (.mam/agent_homes/<uuid>/) with Universal Global Config sharing coupled with herdr process isolation and session-scoped conversation UUIDs.
2. Resumed Session Auto-Creation (cb88771): Added automatic session record provisioning to update_yaml_resumed.sh when an agent is resumed without an existing entry in .mam/agent-sessions.yaml.
3. Test Suite Alignment & Verification: Updated outdated test cases in tests/test_tier1_unit.py, tests/test_tier2_component.py, and tests/conftest.py to align with the simplified isolation model.

All code modifications pass syntax, runtime safety, and schema validation checks. The local commits have been pushed to origin/main.

2. Review Findings & Analysis

2.1 Commit cb88771: Resumed Session Auto-Creation

• Target File: .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-resume/scripts/update_yaml_resumed.sh
• Analysis:
  • Previously, update_yaml_resumed.sh failed with exit code 1 if target is None (session entry missing from agent-sessions.yaml).
  • The fix gracefully instantiates a default session dictionary containing all required schema fields (name, status='running', role='creator', pane, start_command, attach_command, kill_command).
  • Cleanly purges stale termination/stop metadata fields (terminated_at, stopped_at, resumable, etc.).
  • Executes safely within atomic_dump_yaml transactional boundary using BEGIN IMMEDIATE locks.

2.2 Commit f0a2103: Session Isolation Simplification

• Target Files: .agents/skills/lib.sh, create_session.sh, resume_session.sh, reconcile.sh, deploy/INSTALL.md, SKILL.md
• Analysis:
  • Removed fragile file/symlink copying routines (provision_isolation) that led to authentication issues and credential state desynchronization across isolated subdirectories.
  • Retained backward-compatible function stubs (provision_isolation, isolation_lever, isolation_env_prefix, isolation_cmd_args) in lib.sh to prevent broken command invocations.
  • Simplified herdr session startup commands by removing redundant isolation environment prefixes and command line arguments.

2.3 Test Suite Alignment

• Target Files: tests/conftest.py, tests/test_tier1_unit.py, tests/test_tier2_component.py
• Analysis:
  • Replaced hardcoded Linux home directory paths in conftest.py with relative path resolution via __file__.
  • Updated legacy test expectations for isolation_lever, isolation_env_prefix, isolation_cmd_args, provision_isolation, and resolve_herdr_workspace.
