create_task now pins upstream files by content hash and carries the
source task, source thread, verified facts, open questions and
acceptance criteria into the assignee's prompt.

Every mention already wakes the agent through its own chat-wake task, so
ordinary tasks no longer inject the org-wide mention inbox.

The three third-party keys were hardcoded or read from the environment.
Operators now enter them in Settings > Integrations; they are stored
encrypted in the app-wide integration_keys table (migration 058).
An agent holding connector grants fails loudly when no Composio key is
saved. The goal-review test no longer depends on absolute dates.

A wake run whose model answered in plain final text (the coding-tuned
Kimi family does this instead of calling send_message) completed
'successfully', closed its vehicle task, and left the founder staring
at a silent conversation — the reply lived only in provider_requests.
deliverChatReplyIfMissing now runs before a chat-wake run may complete:
when the run never posted into the source thread (run-start watermark,
so a send_message it did make suppresses the fallback), its final text
is delivered as the agent's reply. A delivery failure fails the run
loudly instead of closing it on silence.
A single transient failure from a background run used to silence the whole
company — founder included — for the full ten-minute cooldown. The
interactive lane now claims one probe per park window: the founder's
message tries the provider immediately, a success lifts the cooldown for
everyone (a served request is proof of health), and a failed probe re-arms
the park with the probe spent, so a real outage is never hammered.
Autonomous work still waits cooldowns out unconditionally.
loadChatContext labels human senders "[Name (founder)]" so a woken agent
knows it answers its boss, not a teammate. New integration test drives
the whole loop — founder DM wakes the CEO, the prompt names the founder,
the reply lands in the same pinned conversation and thread, the wake
task closes — and a Playwright spec pins the UI contract: badged CEO row
first, selected by default, message queues the wake run, channel recency
never displaces the pin. AGENTS.md documents the feature contracts.
Every "engineering" deliverable the company ever produced was a markdown
skeleton, because documentation was the ceiling of the toolset:
write_deliverable and create_document were the only artifact tools. An
engineer could not see the files that exist, read a line of code, or run a
single command — and create_task hardcoded requires_filesystem to false, so
the entire approval-gated read_write mount plumbing was dead code.
New workspace capability (agent-workspace-tools.ts):
- list_files / read_file: explore the bound workspace, traversal-guarded by
the same resolveWorkspacePath used for writes, size- and count-capped.
- run_command: real shell execution with the workspace as cwd, 120s timeout,
16k output cap. Gated on the task's approved filesystem grant — the same
requires_filesystem flag that flips the mount to read_write and routes the
task through operator approval (auto-approved only in AI-CEO mode, which
is that mode's explicit contract).
- create_task now takes requires_filesystem, so the CEO and officers can
delegate engineering work that is allowed to change code and run tests.
- Prompts brief every agent on the tools, and filesystem tasks state the
bar directly: real output is code that builds and tests that pass — a
document describing the work does not close an engineering task.
Tests: tool registry, dependency-folder-skipping listing, traversal refusal,
the run_command access gate plus exit-code reporting, and the create_task
approval path for filesystem work.
The two real goal tasks from July 9 each got exactly one session: the run
completed, the agent never moved the task off backlog, and the heartbeat's
"has a completed run" exclusion locked them out forever. The agents could
not have closed them anyway — update_task_status requires a task_id the
prompt never carried.
The progress contract, made explicit end to end:
- The task prompt now carries "Task id: ..." and tells the agent exactly how
to end a session: done via update_task_status when the work is complete,
in_progress with a note on what remains when it is not.
- The heartbeat re-enqueues any open task with no run in flight — a
completed run that left its task open earns a follow-up session, with the
prompt stating how many prior sessions were spent so the agent continues
instead of redoing work. The retry budget (3 non-transient runs) still
bounds every task; a task that spends it parks with one log line naming it.
- Scripted agents in the integration suites now close their tasks the way
the contract expects real ones to.
Of the 202 tasks stranded in the backlog on July 9, 200 were "Reply to ..."
wake vehicles: every agent @mention creates a task plus a queued run, the
reply goes out, and nothing ever closed the task — a task with a completed
run is never enqueued again, so each one became a permanent zombie row. On
top of that, every message in an active thread minted a fresh wake even when
the target already had one queued, multiplying runs that would each read the
same conversation.
The lifecycle contract, made explicit:
- The reply run IS the wake task's deliverable. Completing a chat_mention
run now closes its task (backlog/in_progress -> done, via the audited
status path). Tasks an agent moved to review are left alone.
- One pending wake per (agent, thread): wakeFromMention returns the queued
run instead of minting a duplicate — that run reads the thread's newest
messages when it executes anyway.
- Migration 054 heals existing rows: wake tasks whose runs are all spent
close as done; in-flight wakes keep working. This also stops Fix 1's
retry-budget healing from resurrecting 31 stale replies on next launch.
The chat-governance loop test now completes each pending wake run between
posts, matching how the exchange actually interleaves in production.
The July 9 run died at 07:22 when the GPT account hit its plan-side usage
limit: every later request failed with "The usage limit has been reached",
each failure counted against the 3-attempt retry budget, and 31 tasks were
abandoned for good while the worker kept hammering 12 doomed requests a
minute until the queue drained.
Root fix, three parts sharing one classifier:
- isTransientProviderFailure() in provider-runtime-domain recognises
provider-side verdicts (usage limit, rate limit, 429, overloaded) plus the
internal monthly-quota message; matching is against recorded
task_runs.error_message rows, so historical damage heals retroactively.
- enqueueHeartbeatRuns computes the retry budget with that predicate instead
of an exact match on the internal quota string alone.
- A transient failure parks the provider for a 10-minute cooldown: the
heartbeat stops enqueuing its tasks and the worker leaves its queued runs
unclaimed, then a single probe run re-arms or clears the park. Transitions
are logged once each way.
Tests: predicate unit tests, budget-exemption regression on the raw provider
message, cooldown park/resume with an injected clock, claim exclusion.
The heartbeat scheduler enqueued runs even while a provider's monthly
usage window was full, so every task burned its 3-attempt retry budget
on instant quota failures within seconds and stayed dead forever -
raising the limit (or restarting) never revived anything.
- Park tasks (skip enqueue) while their provider is at its
monthly_request_limit instead of creating runs doomed to fail
- Exclude quota-blocked failures from the 3-attempt retry budget,
retroactively reviving tasks abandoned by past filled windows
- Share the gate message as PROVIDER_MONTHLY_LIMIT_MESSAGE and log
quota-block transitions once per state change for diagnosability
- Ignore landing/ (self-contained Next.js sub-project) and
built-in skills/ (prompt content) in eslint so verify:ci lints only
application code
The legacy application - its src, tests, landing site, promo assets, docs,
release tooling, CI workflows, and root configs - leaves the tree; it stays
reachable in history. Everything under AgentCompany-New moves up unchanged:
same package name, so the production userData/database path is untouched,
and e2e/build scripts already resolved paths relative to the project. The
developer cred.txt stays gitignored at its new location. Full verify:ci
passes from the new root.
