Review round 4 (codex): - R1: fence_registries reads an existing marker under the registry lock and refuses the reset, changing nothing, when another live (or undecidable) reset holds it - registries may be shared between workspaces; only a stale marker is replaced, and the reset's exit removes only its own fences. - R2: the registries to fence come from update.jobs_dirs, the enumeration open_jobs now uses too, whether or not they exist; an absent row registry is created and fenced (a registration would create it), and one that cannot be created refuses the reset.

# Multi-Agent Reset
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-reset/scripts/reset.sh --yes [--dry-run]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Item | Behaviour |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Targets | Every registry row with `status: running` and `realpath(pane.cwd) == realpath(WS)`. Rows with any other status, worktree rows, and `orchestrator_uuids` are skipped and listed with their reason. |
|
|
| Confirmation | `[y/N]` prompt; without a terminal `-y`/`--yes` is required (exits `3` otherwise). `--dry-run` inspects without `--yes` and changes nothing. |
|
|
| Prechecks | Refuses before any change when an open job exists (prints the `registry.py ... close --request cancelled` command), when `.mam/loop-guard-active` or `.mam/update-in-progress` is held, when a target row lacks a valid agent or role, when a running `claude`/`grok` target has no recorded conversation id (the monitor had not pinned one; record it, or stop/purge it by hand first), when `.mam/reset-spec.json` is invalid, or when the caller itself is one of the targets. |
|
|
| Lock & concurrency | Takes the update admission lock exclusively, acquires `.mam/loop-guard-active` and publishes `.mam/reset-in-progress`, then releases the admission lock and runs the prechecks. `run_loop.sh`, `update.sh` and another reset refuse on the loop marker. The reset then writes `.reset-in-progress` into every job registry its open-job check reads (`.mam/jobs`, `MAM_JOBS_DIR`, and a row's other `control_plane.mam_jobs_dir`; created when absent), each under that registry's lock, before the check. It refuses, changing nothing, when a registry shared with another workspace is already fenced by that workspace's live reset; it never replaces or removes another reset's marker. A registration (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job submit`, `registry.py register`, the registry API) into a fenced registry - by any path to that directory - refuses; in another control plane's registry only for this workspace's sessions. The onboarding jobs of the reset's own `create_session.sh` are let through. |
|
|
| Spec file & rerun | Writes `.mam/reset-spec.json` atomically before the first stop/purge and removes it only when all targets reach `done`. Rerunning resumes from the spec file without re-purging already recreated agents (`created` or `done`). |
|
|
| Sequence per target | Sequential (never parallel): ⓪ re-checks that its row still has the spec's agent and herdr server and that no job addressed to it is open, ① normal `stop_session.sh --reason reset` (a post-discovered agent's id is captured onto the row while herdr is live; `status: stopped`), ② checks that the row's id is the one recorded before the stop and, for a post-discovered agent, that it still verifies as a conversation of the row's folder, ③ `stop_session.sh --reason reset --purge-conversation --yes` (using the row's recorded ID, never a CLI UUID), then `create_session.sh` with the original name, agent, role, `--herdr-session`, and `--herdr-workspace` (onboarding enabled by default). |
|
|
| When skipped (exit 4) | The target is skipped and the reset continues to the next agent when step ⓪ finds a changed row (`row changed`) or an open job (`job open`) - nothing was changed for it -, or when step ② finds no id (`no conversation id recorded`) or an id other than the recorded one or one that does not verify for the row's folder (`id not verified`), or step ③ exits `4` (`purge refused`, in-use gate) - it is stopped but resumable (its row keeps its id) and its conversation files are untouched. Rerun once the cause is gone, or resume it. |
|
|
|
|
| Exit | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| 0 | All targeted agents reached `done` and `.mam/reset-spec.json` was removed; or nothing to reset, cancelled at prompt, or `--dry-run` with no blockers |
|
|
| 1 | Refused by precheck (nothing changed), corrupt/mismatched `.mam/reset-spec.json`, or a `stop`/`create` step failed (`.mam/reset-spec.json` is kept so rerunning resumes) |
|
|
| 2 | Invalid arguments |
|
|
| 3 | Not a terminal and `-y`/`--yes` was not passed; nothing was changed |
|
|
| 4 | Completed the pass, but one or more agents were skipped (see *When skipped*); `.mam/reset-spec.json` is kept for rerun |
|
|
| 5 | No agent was skipped or failed, but one or more newly created post-discovered agents do not have their new conversation ID recorded yet; `.mam/reset-spec.json` is kept so rerunning re-checks without re-purging |
|
|
| other | 130 / 143 / 129 when interrupted by SIGINT / SIGTERM / SIGHUP (the in-flight stop/create ends first, nothing further runs, `.mam/reset-spec.json` is kept); otherwise, under `set -e`, an unexpected internal step failure passes its nonzero exit code through |
|

## Safety Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Irreversible**: purged conversations cannot be recovered. Confirm with `--dry-run` first.
|
|
- **No external process termination**: processes holding conversation files open (reported via `lsof` in `in_use_hints`) are never signalled by MAM; end them yourself when safe, then rerun.
|
|
- **Shared stores preserved**: Grok's shared `memory-v2.db` is left intact during purge; only session rows and per-session files are removed.
|
|
- **Orchestrator hook during reset**: while `.mam/loop-guard-active` is held by the reset, the AGY orchestrator's direct file-edit hook (`loop_delegation_guard.sh`) blocks direct edits until the reset finishes.
|
|
- **Job submissions during a reset**: `multi-agent-mux-delegate-job submit` and `registry.py register` refuse with `a reset of <WS> is in progress` until the reset ends (a marker left by a killed reset is stale and ignored); submit again afterwards. A record written into `.mam/jobs` by hand for a target after the precheck makes that target `job open` (skipped, not cancelled) if it is there before that target's stop.
|
|
- **Same-type post-discovered ordering**: when resetting multiple post-discovered agents of the same type, the second `create_session.sh` waits up to `MAM_ID_ORDER_WAIT_S` for the first agent's ID to be recorded; if it times out, rerun the reset once the ID is recorded.
