… run's tree An isolated unit's `spec_file` is persisted relative to its mounted worktree, and the dashboard resolved that raw against its own cwd — the project root, which carries the same layout. The review modals rendered the main checkout's copy, and `Request replan` reset that copy to `draft` instead of the run's: both writes reported success, because the wrong file genuinely is inside the confinement root, so the run resumed while the worktree's real spec kept its terminal status and the next dispatch did not re-plan. Promote `runs._task_spec_path`/`_task_spec_root` to public (rename only) and route the TUI read, the replan's `confine_root`, and `resolve.build_context` through them, so the anchor and the containment root are one claim about which tree owns the spec. A spec missing or undecodable at the anchored path now reads as an explicit fault rather than an empty body.
`task_spec_path` passes an absolute `spec_file` through verbatim, but `task_spec_root` returned the worktree unconditionally. `_serialized_worktree_path` keeps a path verbatim exactly when `relative_to(worktree_path)` raises, so an absolute value beside a set `worktree_path` is precisely the out-of-mount shape — and the worktree can then never contain it. `_atomic_write_spec` gates on the same lexical `is_relative_to` and silently took the plain no-follow arm, losing the confined arm's O_NOFOLLOW walk (#593); `_restore_rearmed_spec`, which calls the confined writer directly, raised `UnconfinedWriteError` instead, turning a recoverable re-arm abort into a lost undo. Yield the project for that shape, tested with the same lexical comparison the writer gates on so the root and the gate agree by construction. This deliberately reaches `rearm_escalation`'s four call sites: where the project contains the spec a skipped or refused confined write becomes a taken one, and where nothing contains it the outcome is unchanged. Also make `_paused_spec_root`'s no-task arm answer `Path(state.project)` rather than `self.project`, so both arms make one claim about which tree owns the spec.

`test_build_context_gathers_critical_escalations` passed the literal "/abs/spec.md" and asserted it reached `context.json` verbatim. On Windows that string is drive-relative, not absolute, so `runs.task_spec_path` took its anchoring arm and pathlib kept the root's drive while discarding its path — emitting "D:/abs/spec.md" and reddening both Windows legs. The literal passed unnoticed before this branch only because `build_context` emitted `task.spec_file` raw. Anchor the fixture on `tmp_path`, which is absolute on every OS, and grade against `spec.as_posix()`. The row keeps testing that an absolute `spec_file` passes through verbatim, and on Windows now also grades the `.as_posix()` half that `str()` would fail. Test-only: no `runs.py` behavior change, which the spec's frozen Boundaries forbid for every caller outside the renegotiated confining-root arm.
…un's tree The re-anchor landed for `spec_file` alone, so every field beside it still resolved against the main checkout. `_sentinel_kind` scanned `self.project` while `_paused_spec` read the run's tree, and both feed one `EscalationModal` — a pre-planning sentinel wedge then rendered as an ordinary escalation, which is a different operator decision. `context.json` named the run's tree in `spec_file` and the project's in `stories.sentinel`, describing a file the re-arm never touches. `stories_engine`'s pause notices printed the raw worktree-relative path on the surface an operator reads before any dashboard. Route all three through `task_spec_root`. The dev-session prompt at `spec_ref` is deliberately left relative: that session's cwd IS the mount, so the anchor belongs to the consumer, not to the field. Correct the guarantee `task_spec_root` claimed. "Only ever trades a skipped or refused confined write for a taken one" was false in its docstring, in the CHANGELOG and in a test name: a spec lexically inside the project but reached through a symlinked component moves from a succeeding plain write to `UnconfinedWriteError`, which `rearm_escalation` re-raises as `RearmError`. Gating the arm on `path_is_confined` was implemented and backed out — that predicate answers False for a component it cannot probe, so the confine root would have depended on filesystem state, anchoring on the worktree before a directory existed and on the project after. A root that moves under a `mkdir` is not a definition, and the refusal is correct on #593's own terms, so the behavior is kept, the claim narrowed, and the exception is now graded. Close what the read-side fix exposed. `_do_replan` caught only `(OSError, FrontmatterWriteError)` while `reset_spec_status` decodes strictly, so making the modal survivable on a non-UTF-8 spec moved the event-loop crash one click later. A decode fault now degrades one byte rather than discarding the whole document, the failure body is reserved for absence, an unreadable spec dims its text and disables its destructive verbs, and `task_spec_path` enforces its empty-`spec_file` precondition instead of documenting it. `context.json` carries `spec_reaches_the_redrive`, so a session is not sent to edit a spec the mount discards. Restore the ESCALATED-phase assertion an inserted sibling row had absorbed from `test_rearm_restores_the_spec_when_the_result_strip_faults`, and grade the escalation modal under isolation — matrix row 3's third consumer, previously ungraded on both its spec text and its sentinel indicator.
`spec_file` and `dispatched_spec_file` are both persisted relative to the
mounted worktree by `model._serialized_worktree_path`, and `from_dict` reads
them back raw. Every `_finish_inflight` arm that continues an isolated unit
re-anchors them through `reopen_unit` first — but two do not:
- the restart arm discards the mount and clears `worktree_path` before its
durable save, so a host death in the re-mount window persists a
mount-relative spelling beside an empty `worktree_path`; and
- the `isolated` test is live policy, while the relative spelling is
persisted state — an `isolation` change across a resume is journaled,
never refused — so a task that still carries a mount takes the in-place
arms.
Either way the raw value then resolves against the main checkout, which
carries the same layout. `recovery_flow._attempt_owned_spec` finds exactly one
candidate (the artifacts probe doubles the prefix and cannot exist), its
`len(resolved_files) != 1` guard passes on the wrong single file, and
`spec_within_roots` accepts it against the same roots — so a rollback could
restore a dead attempt's snapshot bytes over the operator's own copy of the
spec, and its Git exclusion named the wrong tree's file.
The engine's own reader was never exposed: `_read_dispatched_spec_snapshot`
resolves strictly and rejects `resolved != spec_path`, which no relative path
can satisfy, so it fails closed. Nine of the ten other engine sites only test
the field against `None`. The defect is at the producer, not any reader, so no
read site changed.
`_finish_inflight` now re-anchors both fields on `task.worktree_path` before
the `isolated` gate. A binding whose tree is gone is then unresolvable, and
recovery refuses it loudly instead of rewriting a file the run never used.
The rule gets one owner: `StoryTask.rebase_spec_paths_on`, on the class whose
`_serialized_worktree_path` creates the relative spelling. `reopen_unit` calls
it instead of its own loop, so this lands as a third caller rather than a third
copy.
`to_dict` / `_serialized_worktree_path` / `from_dict` are untouched — the
persisted form stays a compatibility contract and the asymmetry is still fixed
on the read side only.
The restart arm dropped a half-built unit worktree and cleared `worktree_path`
and `branch`, but left `baseline_commit` and `baseline_untracked` — both
stamped by `_dev_phase` from `self.workspace.root`, which is the unit worktree
under isolation. The arm then saves, so that pair is durable beside an empty
`worktree_path`, and any later resume takes the in-place
`elif task.baseline_commit:` leg into `recovery_flow.rollback_or_pause` against
the MAIN checkout.
No host death is required to reach it: `run_isolated` assigns
`task.worktree_path` only after `open_unit_workspace` returns, so a
`GitSpawnError` there pauses the run with the cleared value already persisted.
Neither operand fails loud in the main checkout:
- Linked worktrees share the main repo's object database, so force-deleting
the unit branch does not make the baseline unresolvable. `git diff` reads
it, and `git reset --hard` onto it SUCCEEDS — moving the operator's branch
onto a commit that only ever lived on the deleted unit branch, in the
`branch_per="run"` and re-entered-`_dev_phase` shapes where the baseline is
a unit-branch commit rather than the shared cut point.
- A fresh worktree is a tracked-only checkout, so `baseline_untracked` is
effectively empty. `verify._rollback_cleanup_plan` computes
`untracked_files(repo) - set(baseline_untracked)` as its DELETION list, so
every untracked non-ignored file in the operator's own checkout reads as
this attempt's debris. Under `scm.rollback_on_failure` those are unlinked;
with the default off it pauses on a dirtiness no operator action can clear,
so the manual-recovery loop cannot terminate — the exact non-termination
`rollback_or_pause`'s docstring promises against.
`rollback_or_pause`'s routing was already correct and is untouched:
`in_unit_worktree` is compared by path, not policy, precisely so a resume with
no worktree recorded still targets the main checkout and pauses. The bug was
never which arm ran, only which operands it ran on.
Both fields are now cleared with the mount that defined them, via a shared
`_discard_unit_for_restart` that `sweep`'s identical arm also uses. `None`
rather than `[]` for the untracked half is the value `attempt_dirty` and
`_rollback_cleanup_plan` both read as "nothing here is this attempt's to
remove". `_dev_phase` re-stamps both from the replacement mount, so the leg
becomes a correct no-op rather than a probe of the wrong tree.
… unanchored The re-anchor landed on `Engine._finish_inflight` and never reached sweep: `SweepEngine` replaces `_loop` wholesale and `Engine._loop` is the only caller of `_finish_inflight`, so a bundle inherited the shared discard helper's baseline half and none of the spec-ownership half. Re-anchored in `_recover_inflight_bundle`, above the `isolated` gate for the same reason the engine puts it there — the gate is live policy, the relative spelling is persisted state. The escalation modal discarded the read verdict, so an unreadable spec rendered "(no blocking condition recorded)" — indistinguishable from a spec that halted without one — while `Re-arm & resume` stayed live over a write that flips frontmatter, strips the result and re-stamps the baseline. It now reports the condition as unknown and refuses both verbs. `task_spec_root` answered which tree can CONFINE a write to `spec_file`, and the sentinel and stories block borrowed it as a folder anchor; its out-of-mount arm sent them to the main checkout while `_stories_folder` stayed on the mount. Split out `task_stories_root`, which mirrors the engine's rule. Sprint mode's spec-approval pause still printed the raw field, so `_operator_spec_path` moves to `Engine`. `spec_reaches_the_redrive` is gated on `task.spec_file` like its sibling, so no verdict is emitted beside a null spec. Tests: five rows, each ablated to confirm it reddens without its fix. Two close gaps that were fully green under ablation — every `_operator_spec_path` call site, and `_review_gate`'s unreadable refusal. `test_task_spec_root_refuses_a_spec_the_project_cannot_reach` now drives `reset_spec_status` rather than the primitive, so it grades arm selection, and its docstring no longer claims the `rearm_escalation` link it never exercised. Also corrects three docstrings/comments that had become false, the CHANGELOG clause attaching the explicit-read-failure claim to undecodable specs (they degrade in place), and the tui-guide entries for the escalation and gate views.
…e the anchor rule checkable The previous pass refused BOTH escalation verbs while the spec could not be read. Resolve is the wrong half to refuse: it opens an interactive agent and writes nothing itself, a bad anchor is exactly what it repairs, and gating it left `close` as the modal's only action on the one failure the resolve agent exists to fix. It also put the modal out of step with `action_resolve_run` (the `R` binding), which has no readability check — so the refusal was advisory rather than enforced. Re-arm stays refused: it flips the frontmatter, strips the result and re-stamps the baseline. The hint now explains THIS refusal and names the CLI fallback. The unreadable notice PREFIXED the shared body render, which answers "" for the failure sentence — so the modal printed the warning and "(no blocking condition recorded)" together, the second denying the first. It now replaces the body. `_stories_entry` read the manifest through `self.project` while `_sentinel_kind` beside it read the mount, so one `EscalationModal` could take its title from one tree and its sentinel from another — the same one-surface-two-trees defect the anchor exists to close. Both now use `task_stories_root`. Nothing made the anchor rule checkable, which is why four rounds each found only the next unanchored reader. `test_portability_guard` now flags a raw `Path(x.spec_file)` / `Path(x.dispatched_spec_file)` by call shape, so an alias is caught too, with `runs.py`, `engine.py`, `verify.py` and `recovery_flow.py` allowlisted as the tree-local consumers. Two companion rows grade the detector itself — it fires on the exact line the defect shipped as, and stays silent on the sanctioned spellings — since the guard asserts an absence. Tests: the stories/spec root split is now graded by a row where the two resolvers genuinely disagree (absolute out-of-mount `spec_file`), at both the `runs` primitive and `build_context`; every other row builds the relative shape where they agree by construction, which is why collapsing them left the suite green. The plan-checkpoint row asserts the NOTIFY body, not only the journal — no row observed any `gates.notify` body before, so every notification site could have been reverted with the suite green. `_stories_paused_run` now refuses `spec_outside_worktree` without a `worktree_path`, a combination that read like an isolated row while grading nothing, and the symlink row skips on win32. `engine.py` records why `baseline_ledger_digest` and the `pre_harvest_ledger` pair are deliberately NOT cleared with the mount: the criterion is "read before anything re-measures it", and clearing them would destroy the crash-replay attribution `_disarm_ledger_snapshot` exists to preserve. CHANGELOG: the section had drifted back into multi-paragraph root-cause narration; condensed to one bullet per change.

When spec_reaches_the_redrive is false for a worktree-local isolated run, this value is merely added to context.json: the canonical src/bmad_loop/data/skills/bmad-loop-resolve/SKILL.md schema at lines 28–45 does not document it, while steps 94–110 still unconditionally require editing spec_file and lines 172–173 forbid committing. The agent therefore follows the existing instructions, edits the mounted copy that resume discards, and records a successful resolution; re-arm then has to hold the run and ask the operator to reconstruct and commit that correction manually. Update the canonical skill contract and workflow to branch explicitly on this field so the new signal actually prevents the lost-work scenario it was added for.

`test_task_stories_root_stays_on_the_mount_for_an_out_of_mount_spec` passed the literal "/elsewhere/6-4.md" and asserted `task_spec_root` answers the PROJECT while `task_stories_root` answers the mount. That divergence is the entire reason the second function exists, and the arm producing it gates on `Path.is_absolute()` — which is False on Windows for a DRIVE-relative string. Both Windows legs therefore took the fallback, got the worktree, and reddened; POSIX graded the row as intended. Anchor the fixture on `tmp_path`, absolute on every OS. What the arm needs is a spec outside the MOUNT, not outside the project, so the shape is unchanged and the row now grades the same divergence on both platforms. Same trap as `69e5d5c3`, one file over: a rooted literal is not an absolute path. Re-ablated after the change — delegating `task_stories_root` to `task_spec_root` still reddens the first assertion, so the fixture swap did not cost the row its teeth. Test-only; no `runs.py` change.
…hangelog Both findings from the codex gate on `f9de3cb1`, validated before acting. `spec_reaches_the_redrive` was emitted into `context.json` and read by nobody. The resolve skill is that file's only consumer, and its schema, its step 4 and its commit prohibition were all silent on the field — so an agent handed `false` followed the unconditional "update the frozen spec" instruction, edited the worktree-local copy `_finish_inflight` discards, and recorded a successful resolution over lost work. Exactly the scenario the verdict was added to prevent. The skill now documents the field, keeps the edit (the corrected spec is what gets carried over) and requires the agent to say the copy does not survive the re-arm, and the prohibition names whose job the commit is rather than reading as a refusal of the remedy step 4 now demands. `tests/test_resolve_skill_contract.py` makes the class checkable instead of leaving the next one to be found by hand: every key `build_context` emits must be named in the skill, in the schema block or in prose — `restore_supported` is documented the second way and passes, which is why the guard accepts both and needs no allowlist. Keys are read from the source literal, so one added tomorrow is in scope the moment it is written. Ablated both ways: undocumenting the field reddens the documentation row AND the branching row, while keeping the schema and dropping only step 4's branch reddens the branching row alone — so the two grade different things. A third row pins the key scan itself, since the guard asserts an absence and an `ast` walk that matched nothing would pass. The CHANGELOG's new entries had drifted back into root-cause narration at 44 lines; cut to 26 across 8 bullets, one user-facing topic each, with the internals left to the commits and docstrings that already carry them. The dashboard-crash fix gets its own bullet rather than a subordinate clause.

When an isolated task enters the resume-restart arm (for example, after re-arming an escalation or a crash without a resumable result), this converts spec_file to an absolute path inside the old mount; _discard_unit_for_restart then destroys that mount without clearing the field, and opening the replacement worktree does not remap absolute paths. The next _dispatched_spec_for_attempt therefore cannot bind the committed corrected spec in the fresh worktree, and if the initial bare-key attempt needs a repair, the repair prompt still names the deleted path and the required snapshot gate raises instead of running the retry. Preserve/remap the accepted-spec spelling onto the replacement mount while retaining the dead absolute path only for the abandoned attempt's ownership record; the sweep restart path has the same ordering.

UnicodeDecodeErrorarm matters because all three review surfaces call this from the Textual event loop, where an escaping raise takes the dashboard down.Later review rounds (
69e5d5c3..f9de3cb1)Four further passes each found the same defect at the next surface — a persisted
spec_fileresolved against the reader's cwd — which is the shape of the problem, not a queue of unrelated bugs:spec_filealone, so the escalation modal read its spec text from the run's tree and its sentinel indicator from the project — one modal contradicting itself, showing a pre-planning sentinel wedge as an ordinary escalation.task_spec_rootanswers "which tree can confine a write", and its out-of-mount arm falls back to the project; the stories folder is a different question, sotask_stories_rootwas split out to mirrorstories_engine._stories_folder's rule.worktree_path/branchwere cleared whilebaseline_commit,baseline_untracked,spec_fileanddispatched_spec_filesurvived, and the arm saves before the replacement is mounted — so a git spawn fault persisted them beside an emptyworktree_path. A later resume then took the in-placeelif task.baseline_commit:leg against the main checkout:untracked_files(repo) - baseline_untrackednamed every untracked file in the operator's own checkout as attempt debris, and recovery could restore a dead attempt's snapshot over their own copy of the spec. Neither operand failed loud — linked worktrees share the object database, so a deleted unit branch's baseline still resolves and a reset onto it still succeeds.SweepEnginereplaces_loopwholesale, andEngine._loopis the only caller of_finish_inflight, which carries the re-anchor — while both engines share the discard helper. Fixed in_recover_inflight_bundle, above theisolatedgate for the reason the engine puts it there: the gate is live policy, the relative spelling is persisted state._operator_spec_pathmoved fromStoriesEnginetoEngine. The dev-session prompt deliberately keeps the raw value: that session's cwd is the mount.Resolvewrites nothing, is what repairs a bad anchor, and gating it leftcloseas the modal's only action — while theRbinding reached the same agent regardless, making the refusal advisory.Re-armstays refused. The unreadable notice also prefixed the shared body render, which answers""for the failure sentence, so the modal printed the warning and "(no blocking condition recorded)" together — the second denying the first. It now replaces the body.The guard
Nothing made the anchor rule checkable, which is exactly why each round found only the next unanchored reader.
tests/test_portability_guard.pynow flags a rawPath(x.spec_file)/Path(x.dispatched_spec_file)by call shape (so an alias is caught too), allowlistingruns.py,engine.py,verify.pyandrecovery_flow.pyas the tree-local consumers. Adding a file to that list is a claim that its cwd is the run's tree.Since the guard asserts an absence, two companion rows grade the detector itself: it fires on the exact line the defect shipped as, and stays silent on the sanctioned spellings.
Scope note
This intentionally changes
rearm_escalationat four call sites; the promotion was otherwise rename-only. The direction is one-way: where the project contains the spec, a skipped-or-refused confined write becomes a taken one; where nothing contains it, the outcome is unchanged.Verification

pyright0 errors ·trunk check --allclean (258 files).Every behavioral claim was ablated with the bytecode cache purged and
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1, control-first so a collection error could not masquerade as a pass. Revertingtask_spec_rootreddens exactly three rows — including theUnconfinedWriteErrorone — while both unchanged-shape rows stay green; two deliberately over-broad variants are each caught by the "stays on the worktree" row.Two later rows close gaps that were fully green under ablation, so they graded nothing before:
spec_file), at both therunsprimitive andbuild_context. Every other row builds the relative shape where they agree by construction — which is why collapsingtask_stories_rootback intotask_spec_rootleft the whole suite green.gates.notifybody, so every notification site could have been reverted to a baretask.spec_filewith the suite green._stories_paused_runnow refusesspec_outside_worktreewithout aworktree_path— a combination that read like an isolated row while silently building a non-isolated one.One assertion is inert on POSIX:
str()and.as_posix()are byte-identical for an absolute POSIX path, so thespec_fileposix check only grades on Windows CI. That is written into the test docstring rather than left implicit.Review
Three parallel review layers ran. 7 findings patched, 8 deferred to the ledger, 9 dismissed with reasons recorded. Two reviewer claims were refuted by running them:
trunkdoes not reflow the CHANGELOG bullet, and the new failure string is not parsed as spec content.Summary by CodeRabbit
