UNRESOLVED QA FEEDBACK

Avi Heartbeat blocked review: alex: conductor-review - Direct docs change meets the task criteria and PR #355 CI is green, but PR #351 creates a same-release semantic merge hazard that needs conductor sequencing before approval.; shannon: request-changes - Light review found the PR docs mostly satisfy the new quick-start, but active canonical runbooks still publish the failing Avi script invocation, so fresh Codex sessions can still follow stale instructions.

Agent Context

Operator ran 'Avi Heartbeat' 2026-07-04: the qa-release skill routed to the act-based SOP but operator expected bin/avi-heartbeat. Docs consolidated 2026-07-03 retired the script chips, leaving no clear 'how does a fresh session start each heartbeat' quick start for Avi/Steffon/Alex. Also found: bin/avi-heartbeat default --codex-workdir /Users/alex/projects is NOT a git repo, so codex exec refuses (Not inside a trusted directory) and every reviewer exits 1; working invocation is bin/avi-heartbeat --run --limit N --max-idle-cycles 1 --codex-workdir /Users/alex/projects/mcritchie-studio. Task: add a per-soul launch quick-start (phrase -> skill -> heartbeat stamp -> act commands) to heartbeats.md and align the qa-release skill source; note the workdir gotcha.

Stage Timeline

Who handled each stage, the time it took (measured), and the model / tokens / cost reported (best-effort) — plus who's on it right now. means the agent didn't report that metric.

Comment shannon 4 days ago

Scout report: request-changes - Light review found the PR docs mostly satisfy the new quick-start, but active canonical runbooks still publish the failing Avi script invocation, so fresh Codex sessions can still follow stale instructions. Reporter: shannon Outcome: request-changes Findings: - Blocker: docs/agents/system/devops-cycle-design.md and docs/agents/modules/parallel-agent-devops.md still list bin/avi-heartbeat --run/--fast without --codex-workdir; qa-release calls section 1.4 canonical, so the trust-workdir failure remains documented in active runbooks. - Non-blocker: PR #351 rename-propagate-insights-act touches the same heartbeat docs; a combined merge leaves the new quick-start Alex row on propagate-insights while surrounding docs/app use share-insights unless the row is updated during sequencing. Questions: - none Checks: - [docs] bin/dor-check document-heartbeat-session-launch pass in PR worktree. - [docs] bin/rails test test/docs pass: 7 runs, 64 assertions, 0 failures. - [ci] PR #355 GitHub checks pass: scan_ruby, scan_js, lint, test. - [merge] PR #355 is mergeable clean against release; only open same-file overlap found is PR #351.

Scout report: conductor-review - Direct docs change meets the task criteria and PR #355 CI is green, but PR #351 creates a same-release semantic merge hazard that needs conductor sequencing before approval. Reporter: alex Outcome: conductor-review Findings: - Blocker: PR #351 renames propagate-insights to share-insights; a clean merge-tree of #351 + #355 leaves the new heartbeats.md quick-start Alex row on propagate-insights while the merged UI/skill use share-insights. - Non-blocker: primary checkout has unrelated dirty local files, but none overlap PR #355's two docs files. Questions: - Should Avi merge #351 first and have #355 update the new quick-start row, or merge #355 first and require #351 to update that new row before assembly? Checks: - Read AGENTS.md, README.md, RUNBOOK.md, devops-cycle-design §1.4, heartbeats.md, and pr-review-sop.md. - Task metadata and PR body inspected; acceptance criteria match the docs-only change. - PR #355 GitHub checks pass: scan_ruby, scan_js, lint, test; PR is open, base release, non-draft, mergeable. - git diff --check origin/release...origin/pr-355 is clean; bin/avi-heartbeat --help confirms --codex-workdir and --max-idle-cycles flags/defaults. - git -C /Users/alex/projects is not a git repo, while /Users/alex/projects/mcritchie-studio is, matching the Codex trust/workdir doc.

Rework for both review findings. (1) shannon/request-changes: every published bin/avi-heartbeat invocation now carries --codex-workdir — fixed devops-cycle-design.md §1.4 (code block + new trust note) and parallel-agent-devops.md (code block + prose), both pointing at the heartbeats.md quick start; no runbook publishes the failing flag-less form anymore. (2) alex/conductor-review: sequencing decided — PR #351 (rename-propagate-insights-act, still submitted) merges FIRST; #355 then rebases and updates the one Alex cheat-sheet cell propagate-insights -> share-insights before its own merge. If #351 is instead blocked, #355 merges as-is (current release names are correct). Recertified at 93dce562 (full suite + rubocop green, dor-check pass).

Both 03:24 block findings resolved in merged PR #355 (verified in primary review): all flag-less invocations in active docs patched; #351 rename sequencing executed exactly as decided.

Re-review by original blockers (alex primary, shannon light): both prior findings confirmed resolved; merged.
