From 2bc721517d2f286f40cf5c732f42808007fc837c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolai Emil Damm Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 13:36:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] fix(agentic-engineering): report a three-valued disclosure hint matched anywhere in the body MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The surveyor reported a maintainer-login PR's ownership hint as `disclosure=`, derived from whether the body *leads with* the AI-disclosure prefix. That anchor fails in both directions: a maintainer-interactive PR carrying its marker as a trailing line and a routine PR whose disclosure sits under a template heading both read "no", so the field could not tell the maintainer's PR from the orchestrator's own — the one question it exists to answer — and an orchestrator acting on it ran update-branch on the maintainer's heads. Make the hint three-valued (`routine|interactive|none`), matched by which literal appears as a structural line anywhere in the body, with `interactive` decisive and winning when both appear, `routine` merely corroborating the creation record, and `none` genuinely unknown. Pin the rule and the digest-row grammar in the manifest validator, each neutralised alone by its own failing fixture (RED: 3 failed before the validator change; GREEN: 184 passed after).

A consumer satisfying the documented contract could therefore leave the marker undeclared, and the surveyor would either have to guess a literal or report every interactive PR as `none` — the very outcome the rule exists to prevent. Declare the marker beside the AI-disclosure prefix in the already-required Maintainer channels section: the surveyor's contract list, the disclosure rule (with an explicit fail-closed path — no declared marker means `none` and a reported gap, never a guessed literal), the entrypoint's description of the section, and the plugin README all name it, and the validator pin follows the rule's text. The consumer-side declaration is tracked as devantler-tech/monorepo#3225.

Continue unaffected batches and mark only failed singleton candidates `QUERY-UNKNOWN`; never discard completed evidence or collapse it into portfolio-wide `QUERY-UNKNOWN`. Known candidate-independent failures—exhausted query budget, invalid authentication, or a forge-wide transport failure—must fail the affected mandatory surface closed immediately without splitting. Partition only candidate-specific, shape-specific, or partial failures. @@ -988,6 +990,18 @@ sed 's/disclosure=<routine|interactive|none>/disclosure=<yes|no>/' \ && mv "$d/tmp" "$d/plugins/alpha/agents/portfolio-surveyor.agent.md" check_fail "portfolio surveyor must emit the three-valued disclosure field in its digest row" \ "portfolio-surveyor must emit disclosure=<routine|interactive|none> in its digest row" "$d" + +# The two rows carry the same token, so a bare-token pin passes while the merged-PR channel +# silently loses the field.
