…chenguid#300) * Add captain-invocable bearings skill Generates a pick-up-where-I-left-off status report from live fleet state to data/status-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md plus a concise chat summary. Read-mostly procedure: reads backlog, per-task crew state via bin/fm-crew-state.sh, open PRs via gh-axi, scout reports, pending decisions, and date-gated queued work; composes the exemplar's sections (TL;DR, Check first, Landed, In flight, Plans, Decisions pending, Date-gated/queued); never tears down, merges, or mutates task state as a side effect. * no-mistakes(document): docs: list new /bearings skill in README built-in skills table
* fix(watcher): pin LC_ALL=C in fm_pid_identity for locale-invariant identity ps's lstart date format follows the caller's LC_TIME/LC_ALL. The watcher records its process identity under one locale, but arm/guard/turn-end re-read it under the machine's ambient locale. On a non-C locale (e.g. ko_KR) the two strings differ only in the date portion, so fm_watcher_lock_matches_pid / fm_watcher_healthy reject a genuinely live watcher - breaking fm-watch-arm.sh, fm-guard.sh, and fm-turnend-guard.sh on every non-C-locale machine. Pin LC_ALL=C on that one ps call so the write and read sides agree regardless of machine locale, matching the LC_ALL=C determinism the file already uses elsewhere. Add a colocated regression test asserting fm_pid_identity is locale-invariant across exported LC_ALL/LC_TIME. * no-mistakes(document): Document watcher PID identity coverage

* fix(afk): recognize unbordered herdr composer rows to stop escalation redelivery loop fm_backend_herdr_composer_state only recognized bordered composer rows (the grok shape). Real claude and codex render their live input row with no border at all, so once a harness's own startup banner scrolled out of the capture window the classifier read the composer as unknown forever. fm_backend_herdr_send_text_submit never confirmed "empty", so escalate_flush never cleared state/.subsuper-escalations, and the away-mode daemon retyped and resubmitted the same buffered digest every housekeeping cycle - reproduced live against a real herdr+claude pane (5+ identical deliveries in 40s). The classifier now recognizes an unbordered (bare) composer row led by a known prompt glyph alongside the existing bordered shape, keeping whichever match is bottom-most so a stale decorative box never outranks the live composer. * no-mistakes(review): Narrow herdr bare prompt matcher * no-mistakes(document): Sync herdr composer docs
…guid#323) * fix(herdr): confirm message submit via native agent-state, not composer text fm_backend_herdr_send_text_submit now confirms a landed submit by polling herdr's own agent-state (agent get) for the idle->working transition instead of reading composer content. Composer scraping remains, unchanged, for the away-mode daemon's pre-injection empty-box guard only. This fixes the practical effect of the codex idle-tip gap from the 2026-07-07 incident: codex's dynamic idle-composer hint text can no longer misread as pending and block/mis-confirm a send, since confirmation no longer looks at composer text at all. Verified empirically against real claude and codex agents (timing, swallowed-Enter, unreadable-target, and already-busy-target scenarios), and against the real away-mode daemon end-to-end after updating its synthetic supervisor-pane test fixture to register itself as a real herdr agent (herdr's own report-agent primitive) so it can still exercise the new confirmation path. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, harden herdr submit confirmation * no-mistakes(review): Captain, harden herdr submit confirmation * no-mistakes(document): Sync Herdr submit docs * no-mistakes: apply CI fixes
* Add quota-balanced dispatch selection * no-mistakes(document): Document dispatch selector guidance
* fix(session-start): deterministically respawn dead-shell secondmates A secondmate agent that exits leaves its backend pane alive as a bare shell. The session-start endpoint check only verified pane presence, so recovery and the watcher (which exempts secondmates from stale-pane detection) never noticed - evidence 2026-07-07: every secondmate in one fleet was found sitting at a dead zsh shell. Add fm_backend_agent_alive (bin/fm-backend.sh), a deeper per-backend liveness probe distinct from pane presence: fm_backend_tmux_agent_alive classifies the pane's live foreground process via tmux's own pane_current_command, and fm_backend_herdr_agent_alive reuses the already-verified pane_agent_state husk classifier. Both are conservative: anything ambiguous reports unknown, never a false dead. Wire this into a new session-start-only, locked-and-primary-only sweep in bin/fm-bootstrap.sh that kills and respawns only a confidently dead secondmate endpoint, leaving alive/unknown readings untouched - idempotent by construction, so repeated runs converge without duplicating agents. * no-mistakes(review): Guard raw secondmate liveness respawns * no-mistakes(review): Fix detect-only bootstrap test * no-mistakes(test): Pin liveness fixture harness * no-mistakes(document): Sync secondmate liveness docs * no-mistakes: apply CI fixes
* Fix NUDGE_SECONDMATES to print stable fm-<id> selectors. Session-start secondmate sync used to accumulate raw backend window targets into NUDGE_SECONDMATES, but the liveness sweep in the same bootstrap run can respawn secondmates onto new endpoints. fm-send with those stale explicit targets bypasses meta resolution and fails, while fm-<id> resolves correctly. Accumulate fm-<id> in process_secondmate, update the bootstrap/update contracts and /updatefirstmate skill, and add a herdr respawn regression test. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, guard herdr regression jq dependency * no-mistakes(document): Document stable secondmate nudge selectors * no-mistakes(lint): Fix shell lint hints
* Make tasks-axi and quota-axi required bootstrap tools Add both to the normal toolchain checks alongside lavish-axi, keep the tasks-axi 0.1.1+ compatibility gate, and report quota-axi through the standard MISSING install-consent flow. TASKS_AXI: available remains a backlog-backend capability signal only; manual opt-out no longer suppresses the missing-tool report. Update bootstrap tests and point docs/configuration.md at the canonical toolchain contract. * no-mistakes(review): Clarify manual backlog bootstrap reporting * no-mistakes(document): Document bootstrap AXI tools

…d#375) * fix: attach-and-wait when arm finds a healthy watcher Grok and Claude re-arm after every turn with work in flight. When a watcher was already healthy, fm-watch-arm exited immediately with watcher: healthy, which completed the harness background task and injected an empty false wake. Attach to the live identity-matched holder instead, stay until that cycle ends, then exit 0 so notify fires for a real end-of-cycle. The peer-startup-race path uses the same contract. --restart and the started path are unchanged. * no-mistakes(review): Gate restart watcher peer attach * no-mistakes(document): Sync watcher arm docs
* docs(readme): reformat Quick Start and recommend Grok equally with Claude Code * no-mistakes(review): Captain: align harness launch guidance * no-mistakes(review): Captain, clarify Pi supervised launch * no-mistakes(review): Captain, document Pi first-launch bridge * feat(pi): track primary watcher extension for plain-pi launch Move Pi's primary watcher bridge from a generated state/ file to a tracked .pi/extensions/fm-primary-pi-watch.ts, matching how the turn-end guard extension already works: self-hashing version, project-local auto-discovery after one-time Pi trust. This drops the state/-generation step and dual -e requirement from the happy path, so Pi's Quick Start launch becomes plain 'pi', the same friction class as 'claude' and 'grok --trust'. - bin/fm-pi-watch-extension.sh is removed; nothing generates the extension anymore since it is committed. - fm-session-start.sh and fm-supervision-instructions.sh resolve the watcher extension path from FM_ROOT instead of state/, and the session-start diagnostic now points at restarting plain pi after trust, with -e as a documented fallback. - fm-spawn.sh points Pi secondmate launches at the tracked extension path in the secondmate home instead of generating a state/ copy. - README Quick Start Pi block is now just 'pi' plus a trust note. - Tests, docs, and the harness-adapters skill updated to match. * fix(pi): drop backticks from session-start diagnostic to satisfy shellcheck SC2016
* feat(supervision): add PreToolUse seatbelt against watcher-arm anti-patterns Adds bin/fm-arm-pretool-check.sh, a shared PreToolUse-style checker that denies a primary shell command backgrounding, piping, or bundling the watcher arm/checkpoint, or force-killing the watcher process broadly - the exact shapes that silently took Grok's supervision down. Wires it into all five verified harnesses (grok, claude, codex, opencode, pi), each validated empirically against the real harness. Also fixes a grok 0.2.93 regression discovered during that validation: the existing turnend-guard Stop hook's bare root variable broke grok's own variable pre-substitution and silently no-op'd the hook. * no-mistakes(review): Harden watcher arm validation * no-mistakes(review): Harden arm guard metacharacter checks * no-mistakes(review): Harden nested shell arm guard * fix(lint): rewrite SC2015 guards in fm-arm-pretool-check.sh as if/then A && B || C is not if-then-else; C can run when A is true. Replace both occurrences of the quote-state early-continue with an explicit if/then.

…kunchenguid#401) * fix(backlog-handoff): move full item blocks including indented bodies fm-backlog-handoff only moved the checklist header line, so multi-line item bodies were left orphaned in the source backlog and never reached the secondmate. Move the full block (header plus indented body lines) atomically, treating body membership by indentation so lines like ## Intent stay with the item, and add regression coverage. * no-mistakes(review): Captain: preserve EOF handoff terminators * no-mistakes(review): treat blank lines inside item bodies as movable body * no-mistakes(document): sync backlog-handoff docs with full-block move behavior

* fix(agents-md): inject self-governance section into existing AGENTS.md fm-ensure-agents-md.sh only appended the canonical "## Maintaining this file" section on skeleton create or CLAUDE.md promotion, so an existing AGENTS.md that lacked it exited unchanged and forced hand-copying the wording during a rollout across existing projects. Call the already- idempotent ensure_maintenance_section on the existing-AGENTS.md paths and report whether the file changed; a re-run and an already-complete file stay byte-identical. Also fixes kunchenguid#389: refuse a case-variant real memory file (e.g. a lowercase agents.md) instead of silently emitting a CLAUDE.md symlink whose uppercase literal target dangles once the tree lands on a case-sensitive filesystem. Tests extend tests/fm-ensure-agents-md.test.sh; skeleton-create and CLAUDE.md-promotion regressions still pass. Docs updated to match. * no-mistakes(review): Captain: preserve CRLF maintenance-section idempotency * no-mistakes(review): Preserve CRLF during maintenance-section injection * no-mistakes(review): Captain: harden dangling-symlink regression coverage * no-mistakes(document): Document agent-memory injection outcomes

…nchenguid#435) * fix(teardown): retry treehouse return on transient index.lock Killed crew git ops can leave a short-lived worktree index.lock that makes treehouse return fail. Retry on that error signature with a bounded wait (env-overridable), never force-delete a live lock, and only then fall back to the existing provably-stale cleanup path. * no-mistakes(review): Harden teardown retry configuration * no-mistakes(document): Document teardown index-lock retry behavior * no-mistakes(lint): Fix empty shell variable assignments
* docs: de-feature the scripts.md and CONTRIBUTING test inventories Slice 1 of the documentation redundancy cleanup wave (firstmate scope). docs/scripts.md: every row is now one purpose clause; script headers are the declared owner of behavior, flags, and contracts. Coverage stays 61/61 scripts; bytes drop 19,922 -> 7,958. CONTRIBUTING.md: the 54-row per-test inventory is gone; contributors discover tests by listing tests/*.test.sh and reading each script's own header, and gated tests print their own skip gates. The run commands, symlink assertions, and watcher smoke line are unchanged. Lines drop 135 -> 84 (18,797 -> 7,831 bytes). Two facts that existed only as inventory rows moved into their owners' headers first: fm-brief.sh's paused-vs-blocked scaffold distinction and fm-session-start.sh's Pi extension-loaded check. No instruction-surface or behavior change; AGENTS.md untouched. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, fix brief help and Grok test discovery * no-mistakes(review): Captain: document Grok lock-holder test coverage
* docs: consolidate universal backend contracts into configuration.md Slice 2 of the documentation redundancy cleanup wave (firstmate scope). docs/configuration.md is now the declared single owner of three universal contracts, each with an explicit ownership sentence: - the universal toolchain list (Toolchain), now also carrying the per-tool purpose clauses that previously lived only in the tmux guide; - the task-selector vocabulary (Runtime backend); - the tasks-axi compatibility definition (Backlog backend). The five backend guides' prerequisites replace their verbatim universal-requirements parentheticals (5 full copies) with a pointer plus only backend-specific items; zellij/cmux selector restatements and architecture.md's partial copy become pointers or are dropped; CONTRIBUTING's compatibility sentence becomes a pointer; two near-verbatim orca-bootstrap restatements (configuration.md Runtime backend, orca guide) collapse into the Toolchain owner copy. Backend-specific setup, behavior, target-string shapes, and every empirical verification record are untouched. AGENTS.md untouched (slice 3). * docs: include git and GitHub auth in the toolchain owner list The review flagged that the new universal-toolchain owner omitted git and GitHub authentication while every backend guide now defers its prerequisites here; bootstrap's NEEDS_GH_AUTH check makes them real universal requirements. * no-mistakes(review): Detect Git in bootstrap toolchain * no-mistakes(document): Clarify GitHub CLI and centralize selector documentation
* feat(daemon): backend-independent active alert for the wedge alarm When away-mode injection wedges past max-defer, inject_wedge_alarm only actively signalled via the tmux status-line, which is skipped on non-tmux backends. A wedged claude-on-herdr primary left only the passive state/.subsuper-inject-wedged marker (2026-07-10 overnight incident). Add a config-gated active alert (config/wedge-alarm, local/gitignored; FM_WEDGE_ALARM_CHANNEL) that reaches the captain even when every pane and its status-line is unreadable: an OS-level macOS notification (osascript), a herdr notification, or a captain-supplied command. Default-on (auto) so the alarm is never silent; each channel best-effort, degrading to the next and never crashing the daemon loop. The tmux flash and durable marker stay. The OS notifiers route through a single FM_WEDGE_ALARM_EXEC seam. When the daemon is sourced (only tests do this; production execs it) the seam defaults to "discard", and tests/wake-helpers.sh points it at a recorder, so it is structurally impossible for any test to post a real notification. Channels verified once manually on macOS 26.5.2 / herdr 0.7.3; see docs/wedge-alarm.md. * no-mistakes(review): Bound wedge alarm notifier execution * no-mistakes(review): Captain: harden wedge alarm notifier safety * no-mistakes(review): Captain: harden wedge alarm test notifier isolation * no-mistakes(review): Captain: harden wedge alarm throttling * no-mistakes(review): Redact wedge alarm directive logs * no-mistakes(review): Harden wedge alarm notifier safety * no-mistakes(review): Track notifier process groups through cleanup * no-mistakes(document): Document wedge-alarm active alert behavior
* docs(agents): extract conditional AGENTS.md material to owned homes Slice 3 of the documentation redundancy cleanup wave (firstmate scope): the always-loaded instruction surface drops from 941 lines / 116,733 bytes (~29k tokens per session per fleet member) to 785 / 91,353 (~22.8k tokens), moving only audit-identified conditional and situational material while preserving every load-bearing invariant at its trigger point via the inline-stub pattern. Moves, each to one declared owner plus an inline stub: - section 3's bootstrap output-line handbook (~44 lines) -> new agent-only bootstrap-diagnostics skill, added to the section 13 trigger index; the detect-consent-install rule and the do-not-dispatch gate stay inline as safety-critical. - section 4's crew-dispatch JSON schema and field semantics -> docs/configuration.md 'Crew dispatch profiles' (pointer direction flipped); the intake procedure, precedence, backstop, and never-select-unverified rules stay inline. - section 4's quota-balanced algorithm -> bin/fm-dispatch-select.sh header (now the declared owner; usage() converted to the dynamic header extraction pattern PR kunchenguid#438 established for fm-brief.sh). - section 7's spawn resolution narrative and example sprawl -> bin/fm-spawn.sh header; the isolated-worktree assertion, refusal-is- a-blocker rule, and post-spawn duties stay inline. - section 7's teardown landed-work mechanics -> bin/fm-teardown.sh header (section 1's containment pointer retargeted); the fork benign case and never-force rule stay inline. - section 8's watcher classification narrative -> docs/architecture.md 'Event-driven supervision' (already the owner); every operative rule (one live cycle, no turn ends blind, drain first, wake ladder, never-pkill, guard responses) stays inline. - sections 3/4/6/7 secondmate sync, propagation, schema, and handoff restatements -> secondmate-provisioning skill, now the declared owner including the literal-file inheritance nuance. - section 14's X-mode cadence mechanism -> docs/configuration.md 'X mode (.env)', closing issue kunchenguid#363; activation semantics, the fmx-respond trigger, and the terminal-wake final-follow-up duty stay inline. CLAUDE.md stays a symlink; no behavior or test change. * no-mistakes(document): Centralize contract-owner documentation
* fix(cmux): close the last/selected workspace in a window at teardown cmux keeps every window at >=1 workspace, so close-workspace on the only workspace in a window silently no-ops (returns OK, workspace stays), and a window holding a live session cannot be closed over the control socket. That left a selected task workspace open at teardown (the last workspace in a window is always the selected one). Add fm_backend_cmux_window_of_workspace and have fm_backend_cmux_kill create a throwaway default sibling in the target's window before closing when the target is the last workspace there, so the close lands; the window keeps a fresh default workspace (cmux's own "closed the last tab" outcome). Non-last teardown closes directly, as before. Cover both kill branches plus the helper with fake-CLI unit tests, add a real-cmux window/count detection smoke assertion, and record the empirical evidence in docs/cmux-backend.md. * no-mistakes(review): Derive cmux count from membership snapshot * no-mistakes(document): Document cmux last-workspace teardown behavior
…d#453) * fix(fleet-sync): recover from an orphaned packed-refs.lock A git ref rewrite (fetch --prune, pack-refs, branch -D) killed after creating .git/packed-refs.lock but before renaming it - e.g. bootstrap's timed-out fleet-sync kill or teardown's process kills - leaves a lock that makes the next sync's fetch fail with "Unable to create '...packed-refs.lock': File exists", leaving the clone unsynced. On that signature only, fm-fleet-sync.sh now retries the fetch with a bounded wait (transient locks self-clear), then removes the lock and retries once more ONLY when it is provably stale: still present, mtime age past a threshold, and no lsof holder of the lock file or of the clone worktree itself (a live git keeps that as its cwd even in the window after it closes the lock and before it exits). A live lock, a missing lsof, any failed check, or any other fetch failure keeps today's behavior. Every wait/retry/removal prints to stderr, and a successful recovery also prints one "recovered:" summary to stdout so a session-start refresh - which discards fleet-sync stderr and relays only stdout - still surfaces it. The shared "is this git lock provably abandoned?" proof is extracted into bin/fm-lock-lib.sh so it has one owner, used by both fm-teardown.sh and fm-fleet-sync.sh. Constants are env-overridable knobs. tests/fm-gotmp.test.sh gains the fm-lock-lib.sh symlink teardown now needs in its fake bin/. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, remove obsolete teardown wake dependency * no-mistakes(document): Document packed-refs lock recovery architecture
* feat(herdr): immediate blocked-state escalation via native events.subscribe push Fold herdr's native pane.agent_status_changed stream into the single watcher so a crew entering blocked wakes its supervisor sub-second (measured 0.129s) instead of after the ~240s stale-pane wedge timer. - bin/fm-transition-lib.sh: backend-neutral normalized-transition record shape plus the single-owner status->action policy table (blocked=actionable, working=absorb+clear-dedupe, idle/done=defer, else=fall back to polling). - bin/backends/herdr.sh + herdr-eventwait.py: a raw AF_UNIX events.subscribe subscriber over one connection for all this home's herdr panes, subscribing to ALL statuses, returning the first fresh blocked edge, with a per-pane dedupe marker and a reconnect level-reconcile. Version/schema capability gate. - bin/fm-backend.sh: has-push / events-capable / wait-transition dispatchers so the watcher stays backend-agnostic and the shape+policy are reusable. - bin/fm-watch.sh: splice the bounded event wait in as the watcher's terminal wait primitive (replacing the blind sleep POLL for push-capable homes), behind a source guard so the splice is unit-testable; secondmate/paused exemptions; map pane->window->task and enqueue a stale wake. No second watcher process; the single-cycle invariant and every guard/beacon/turn-end mechanism are unchanged. - Polling stays the permanent fail-closed backstop: below-capability, subscribe failure, and repeated runtime failures all degrade to sleep. - Tests: fake-CLI units (fm-transition-lib, wait/apply/dedupe/reconcile/ fallbacks in fm-backend-herdr, watcher exemptions in fm-supervision-events) plus an isolated real-herdr idle->blocked smoke. docs/herdr-backend.md carries the dated evidence and retires the old gap note. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, fix Herdr disconnect handling and dedupe docs * no-mistakes(review): Captain, commit markers after wake and reuse capability cache * no-mistakes(review): Captain, clear stale markers and secure Herdr FIFOs * no-mistakes(review): Captain, subscribe before Herdr reconciliation * no-mistakes(review): Captain, make Herdr FIFO handling Bash 3.2-safe * no-mistakes(test): Captain: include lock library in teardown fixture * no-mistakes(document): Captain: document Herdr immediate blocked escalation * fix: clarify shellcheck conditionals
* feat(bearings): deterministic bearings snapshot + durable decision model Add bin/fm-bearings-snapshot.sh: a bounded TOON-by-default projection over the canonical fm-fleet-snapshot. Default is local-only (zero network); live open-PR discovery and checks happen only under --include-prs, which fails soft. Every dropped surface is marked in omitted[] with the flag that reveals it, and the prs: line states when checks were not requested, so absence is never silent. Fix the unresolved-decision masking bug in the canonical layer. fm-classify-lib gains status_open_decisions, the one authoritative keyed open/resolved fold over the whole status stream: needs-decision/blocked opens a keyed entry, only an explicit keyed resolution (or, for run-backed tasks, run-step advancement) closes it, so a later unrelated done/paused can no longer mask a still-open captain decision. fm-fleet-snapshot surfaces hints.open_decisions and derives pending_decision/blocked_event from it; the canonical schema stays complete. Point the /bearings skill at the one command; add the resolved: writer line to ship, scout, and secondmate briefs. Register the script and add regression tests for the output bound, TOON/JSON parity, local-only default, opt-in PR fetch, partial-failure degradation, decision durability, and report pointers. * fix(bearings): completed scout report is a pointer, not a pending decision A completed scout that raised a needs-decision and then finished (done) without a keyed resolution falsely surfaced as an open/pending decision (the Lavish-103 case). Root cause: the open-decision reconciliation in bin/fm-fleet-snapshot.sh cleared a stale decision only for a live run-step/pane activity read, so a terminal task whose current state is read from the status log (a scout or ship that reached done/failed) never cleared its stale, never-keyed-resolved needs-decision, and it lingered as pending. The open-decision set is still derived purely from the keyed fold - never from a report body or decision-like prose - and reconciled against the crew lifecycle. Extend that reconciliation so a terminal done/failed state on a single-owner task (scout or ship), whose deliverable is its report or PR, also clears the set; a completed scout now surfaces only as a report pointer. Secondmates are excluded from the terminal clear (persistent, multiplexed stream), which keeps the unrelated-event masking fix intact. Add regression tests: a completed scout with decision-like report prose is a pointer not pending (canonical + end-to-end), and a scout still parked at a decision stays pending so the terminal clear never over-fires. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, preserve keyed decisions across shared status parsing * no-mistakes(review): Captain, close blockers and harden keyed decision parsing * no-mistakes(review): Captain, bound GitHub enrichment without coreutils timeout * no-mistakes(review): Captain, bound bearings sections and fail closed * no-mistakes(review): Captain, disclose capped per-repository PR results * no-mistakes(document): Refresh bearings documentation and status contracts * fix(bearings): avoid ambiguous worktree guard
* fix(lint): one shellcheck owner pinned to 0.11.0 for CI/local parity Firstmate PRs passed local no-mistakes validation but failed CI's "Lint shell scripts" job on shellcheck findings (SC2015, SC1007, SC2034). Two divergences caused it: 1. The no-mistakes gate had no commands.lint, so its lint step never ran the deterministic shellcheck bin/*.sh bin/backends/*.sh tests/*.sh that CI runs. Confirmed from state.sqlite: the lint step_result recorded findings:null with no lint agent invocation. 2. CI's shellcheck floated with the runner image while local ran a newer build; shellcheck retired SC2015 in 0.11.0, so an older CI shellcheck rejected an SC2015 that the newer local one no longer emits. Establish bin/fm-lint.sh as the single owner of the lint definition: the file set, the config, and the pinned shellcheck version (0.11.0, printed via --required-version). Both CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) and the no-mistakes gate (.no-mistakes.yaml commands.lint) invoke it; CI installs the exact version it names and logs the resolved version, and fm-lint.sh refuses to lint under any other version. This is not a CI relaxation: it adopts shellcheck 0.11.0's rule set consistently, dropping only the upstream-retired, false-positive-prone SC2015; default severity and every still-supported finding stay enforced (no severity downgrade, no excludes). tests/fm-lint.test.sh asserts both gates invoke the owner, that CI installs and logs the pinned version, that the owner refuses a non-pinned shellcheck, and that it rejects a real lint defect the old no-op gate passed. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, harden deterministic ShellCheck parity * no-mistakes(review): Captain, neutralize ambient ShellCheck overrides
* feat: add cd-guard PreToolUse seatbelt for the primary shell A stray persistent top-level `cd projects/<clone>` in the primary firstmate shell relocates the shell, so a later firstmate-owned command (a backlog write, an fm-* lifecycle call, tasks-axi) runs inside a project clone instead of the home. The cd-guard denies exactly that command shape before it runs, across all five verified primary harnesses, mirroring the watcher-arm PreToolUse seatbelt. - bin/fm-cd-command-policy.mjs: sole block/allow decision owner. Reuses the shell classifier exported from bin/fm-arm-command-policy.mjs (no duplicate lexer; that file's CLI now runs only when invoked directly). - bin/fm-cd-pretool-check.sh: transport, strict-superset prefilter, harness output rendering, and primary-checkout scoping - fires in a secondmate's own primary session, inert in crew/scout child worktrees and non-firstmate repos. - Wired into claude, codex, grok, opencode, and pi PreToolUse-equivalents; per-harness hooks only call the owner. - Blocks top-level cd/pushd/popd (including cd to an absolute path, X=1 cd, and command cd). Allows git -C, subshell / bash -c / env -C / make -C / find -execdir, pipeline and background forms, and cd-as-data. Fails open on malformed input; agent-mistake threat model. - tests/fm-cd-pretool-check.test.sh: 43-case x 5-harness-entry-form matrix, end-to-end cwd-leak regression, scoping, fail-open, prefilter, and wiring. - docs/cd-guard.md: full contract plus live validation (claude, codex, opencode, pi blocked end-to-end; grok live run blocked by an API balance limit, with mechanism parity and deterministic coverage recorded). * no-mistakes(review): Captain, fix cd-guard classification and prefilter coverage * no-mistakes(review): Captain, allow path-qualified command wrappers * no-mistakes(review): Captain, allow non-executing command queries * no-mistakes(test): Captain, clarify cd-guard safe-path remediation * docs: clarify cd guard guidance * no-mistakes(document): Clarify cd-guard safe target guidance
…kunchenguid#267) Crews must never stop, restart, or update the shared no-mistakes daemon since one instance serves every firstmate lane/home; a restart kills other lanes' in-flight pipeline runs and forces expensive re-runs. Encodes this as a new numbered rule in both the ship-task and scout-task brief scaffolds. Co-authored-by: mielyemitchell <249051873+mielyemitchell@users.noreply.github.com>
* feat(bearings): four-section chat contract, accurate secondmate landed, resolved-event state render /bearings skill (one owner of the chat-response format): mandate the four always-present chat sections - Captain's Call, Recently Landed, Underway, Charted Next - each with an explicit empty-state sentence, no At Anchor, materially shorter than and linking to the report file. Resolves the ambiguous Check first / Decisions pending split into one strict captain-action section. fm-crew-state: the log fallback derives current state only from a real run-state verb, so a trailing decision-closing resolved: event no longer renders a healthy idle crew (typically a secondmate) as unknown with the resolution prose as its detail. The keyed-decision contract in fm-classify-lib.sh is untouched; map_log_state stays the one verb->state owner. fm-fleet-snapshot: add a bounded, read-only secondmate_landed roll-up of Done records from registered secondmate homes, reusing the single backlog parser and the one secondmate-home enumerator (meta home= with data/secondmates.md fallback); no network, per-home capped. fm-bearings-snapshot: landed now merges main-home Done with the secondmate roll-up, bounded by a per-home cap and an overall cap with omitted[] disclosure (also fixing the previously-silent landed truncation); --all-landed reveals the full set. tests: resolved-event state render, secondmate landed aggregation with caps and omitted[] disclosure, Captain's Call anti-leak, and the four-section contract. * no-mistakes(review): Captain, ensure bearings reveals all landed work * no-mistakes(document): Document bearings accuracy contracts
* fix: script-owned non-visible away-daemon launch + stale-artifact lifecycle Away-mode entry left "make the daemon a tracked background terminal" to the operator; on a pi/herdr primary that meant splitting the captain's active pane, which visibly shrank it. Add bin/fm-afk-launch.sh, a single owner that launches the daemon in a non-visible tracked terminal per backend (herdr dedicated --no-focus workspace, detached tmux session), never a split, pins the captain pane as FM_SUPERVISOR_TARGET/FM_SUPERVISOR_BACKEND, records the exact terminal id, and tears it down or reconciles a leaked one by that id. No shell &. Extract supervisor-pane discovery into bin/fm-supervisor-target-lib.sh, shared with the daemon (one owner). Fix the stale subsuper-artifact leak: clear the prior away session's delivery cache on a fresh entry (fm_afk_clear_stale_artifacts), and stop the daemon before clearing state/.afk so its shutdown flush runs instead of being a no-op. Tests: tests/fm-afk-launch.test.sh (per-backend topology invariant in a lab session, stale clear-on-entry vs refresh, exit ordering).

Independent review found the merge survival table overstated several fork-only rows after upstream rewrites. This follow-up preserves the original merge commit and corrects the branch with the missing fork intent reapplied. Re-applied review findings: - B1: restore popup-risk submit verification in bin/fm-send.sh. Unknown submit verdicts now hard-fail for popup-risk sends unless the backend moves from idle to busy, and the deleted codex dollar-skill unknown-verdict loud-fail test is restored. - S1: restore fm_fleet_freeze_refuse in bin/fm-watch.sh and cover it in tests/fm-freeze.test.sh. - S2: restore AGENTS.md judgment criteria lost during conflict resolution: secondmate routing by domain nouns/specific scope, dependency serialization, the yolo Routine definition, unknown crew-state recovery, and dead secondmate endpoint recovery. - S3: restore the bounded no-mistakes probe in bin/fm-bootstrap.sh via FM_NO_MISTAKES_PROBE_TIMEOUT and cover it in tests/fm-bootstrap.test.sh. Corrected fork-only survival table rows: - e2e0da7 fleet freeze: re-applied; fm-spawn, fm-send, and fm-watch now refuse while frozen. - 111c7d8 bootstrap diagnostics: re-applied; no_mistakes_bounded preserves FM_NO_MISTAKES_PROBE_TIMEOUT. - 5906a04 AGENTS judgment criteria: re-applied; the yolo routine decision standard and crew-state recovery criteria are present again. - e3b5606 fm-send loud-fail verification: re-applied; popup-risk unknown submit verdicts fail loudly unless the idle-to-busy evidence proves acceptance. - 9bd3170 busy-popup risk: re-applied; popup-risk sends use the idle-to-busy probe and restored regression test. - 67f8a6d send fail-closed: partially superseded by upstream exact id handling, but the popup-risk fail-closed core is explicitly retained here. Verification before commit: - bash tests/fm-send-popup-settle.test.sh - bash tests/fm-freeze.test.sh - bash tests/fm-bootstrap.test.sh

Restore the TASKS_AXI warning when the repo-root backlog and active FM_HOME backlog diverge. This keeps bootstrap aligned with the bin/fm-tasks-axi.sh wrapper mandate so agents do not run bare tasks-axi from the repo root and mutate the wrong home backlog. Verification: - bash tests/fm-bootstrap.test.sh - bin/fm-lint.sh
Keep the stow/AGENTS task-note contract aligned with the merged wrapper mandate: use bin/fm-tasks-axi.sh instead of bare tasks-axi when FM_HOME can differ from the repo root.\n\nVerification:\n- bash tests/fm-stow-contract.test.sh\n- bash tests/fm-bootstrap.test.sh\n- git diff --check

Intent
Finish upstream sync PR after review: preserve fork-local guardrails, restore bootstrap TASKS_AXI cwd-trap diagnostic with bounded no-mistakes probe work intact, keep bin/fm-tasks-axi.sh wrapper docs/tests, and validate merge branch to CI green.
What Changed
upstream/maininto the fork, bringing in a large batch of upstream features and fixes: hardened Herdr backend and lab lifecycle, AFK/away-mode daemon lifecycle hardening, bearings status snapshots, Codex App/OpenCode/Grok harness support, arm-command and cd-command pretool guards, quota-balanced crew dispatch selection, fleet snapshot/view tooling, wedge alarms, deterministic bounded bearings snapshots, and many watcher/supervision/backend robustness fixes, each with accompanying test coverage.FM_HOMEownership guard section indocs/architecture.md, andbin/fm-tasks-axi.shas the canonical invocation form (withAGENTS.md/README/docs reconciled to match).TASKS_AXIcwd-trap diagnostic: restored the cwd-trap warning with its bounded no-mistakes probe timeout intact, documented the behavior, and extendedtests/fm-stow-contract.test.shto assert the tasks-axi wrapper form.Risk Assessment
✅ Low: The reviewable delta is a set of careful, mechanical restorations of fork-local guardrails (popup-risk send verification, fleet-freeze refusal in fm-watch.sh, the bounded no-mistakes probe, the tasks-axi cwd-trap warning) plus doc reconciliation; every restored code path was verified byte-for-byte against its pre-merge fork original, every doc claim was cross-checked against the actual scripts/files it references, and each change carries a matching passing-oriented test that was inspected for correctness. The large bulk of the diff is the upstream merge itself (166 files) which represents adoption of already-published upstream firstmate code rather than new authored logic in this session.
Testing
The baseline full-suite run (tests/*.test.sh under tmux) already passed per the task setup; I additionally ran the two test files directly touched by this change set (fm-bootstrap.test.sh and fm-stow-contract.test.sh) and both pass cleanly on the target commit, confirming the cwd-trap warning and the tasks-axi wrapper doc/test contract both work as intended. However, checking the live GitHub PR (#17) showed its 'Behavior tests' CI check is still red, and log inspection proved that's because the remote branch is two commits behind this worktree's HEAD - it's missing exactly the two fix commits I just verified locally. The code fix itself is confirmed working; getting CI green requires pushing those commits, which I left for you to authorize.
