Resolves the contracts/index.ts conflict by keeping the .js extensions added by chore(contracts) 2d6e8d6 and slotting in the new export for ./api/app-config introduced upstream by nexu-io#255 (9d700ec). Critique Theater additions (./sse/critique, ./critique) preserved in their original positions. Verified after merge: pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts test -> 10/10 pass pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts typecheck -> exit 0 pnpm --filter @open-design/daemon typecheck -> exit 0 pnpm --filter @open-design/web typecheck -> exit 0 Two daemon tests in tests/media-config.test.ts fail both before and after the merge because they read real OAuth credentials from the developer machine instead of using mock fixtures. That's an upstream isolation issue on origin/main, not something this branch introduces.
…ease) origin/main moved forward since the prior merge with several PRs (security binding to localhost, Linux AppImage, French locale, OpenAI media OAuth fallback, iframe URL-load preview, the 0.3.0 release tag itself, etc.). Same one-file conflict pattern on packages/contracts/src/index.ts: keep the .js extensions and the Critique Theater additions, slot in upstream state for everything else.
The chore commit that added .js extensions to satisfy daemon's nodenext typecheck broke apps/web's Next.js build, because webpack tried to resolve the literal ./common.js when only common.ts exists on disk. Replaced with a subpath approach: contracts/exports gains a './critique' entry pointing straight at src/critique.ts (which has no relative imports), and daemon imports route through @open-design/contracts/critique instead of the barrel. Web keeps the bundler-friendly barrel; daemon's nodenext walks only the leaf module. All 13 contracts source files reverted to no-.js. Separately, mrcfps flagged that parserMaxBlockBytes was only enforced on the leftover buffer after drain returned, so a complete oversized block arriving in one chunk slipped past the cap. Added an explicit per-block size check inside drain for every buffered block type (PANELIST, ROUND_END, SHIP). Three regression tests yield the whole stream as a single chunk and assert OversizeBlockError fires before any events emit.
Three independent gaps that all let malformed or oversized protocol output pass the v1 envelope contract: (1) Envelope guard. ROUND, PANELIST, ROUND_END, and SHIP now throw MalformedBlockError when state.inRun is false. Without this, a stream that omits <CRITIQUE_RUN> could still emit panelist_* events without the run_started handshake, leaving downstream reducers with no run-level config. (2) UTF-8 byte length. Both the per-block size check and the post-drain buf-size check now compare Buffer.byteLength(text, 'utf8') against parserMaxBlockBytes. The previous string-length comparison let multibyte content (CJK, emoji) inside <NOTES>/<SUMMARY> exceed the configured byte cap while staying under the JS string length cap, bypassing the daemon's resource guard. (3) Header-end ordering. PANELIST, ROUND_END, and SHIP now require the opener's > to appear before the matched closing tag. A malformed opener like <PANELIST role="x" score="8"</PANELIST> previously fell through to the closing tag's > and emitted events for an invalid block. Four regression tests cover each gap (ROUND-without-run, SHIP-without-run, multibyte-byte-cap, malformed-opener).
Introduces a new SQLite table critique_runs to back the orchestrator's run lifecycle. Plan called for ALTER TABLE artifacts ADD COLUMN ..., but artifacts is not a DB concept in this repo; runs get their own table. - migrateCritique(db) creates the table + two indexes idempotently and is wired into the existing migrate(db) flow on daemon boot. - CRUD helpers (insertCritiqueRun, getCritiqueRun, updateCritiqueRun, listCritiqueRunsByProject, deleteCritiqueRun) round-trip rounds_json through helpers so callers see typed CritiqueRunRow. - reconcileStaleRuns flips stale 'running' rows to 'interrupted' with a recoveryReason='daemon_restart' marker, supporting the spec's daemon-restart-mid-run failure mode. - Public CritiqueRunStatus union excludes the in-flight 'running' value but the runtime CHECK accepts it, matching the spec's lifecycle. - 11 vitest cases cover migration idempotence, round-trip, default rounds, status validation, update + list ordering, deletion, and reconciliation, plus FK CASCADE on project deletion.
Streams PanelEvent sequences to .ndjson on disk under the artifact dir, gzipping to .ndjson.gz when the cumulative UTF-8 byte size crosses gzipThresholdBytes (default 256 KiB). Uses Node fs streams plus zlib.createGzip so the writer never holds the full transcript in memory. readTranscript inverts the path and streams events back, picking the right pipeline by file extension. Covers happy path, large multibyte, empty input, mid-stream failure cleanup, and unknown-extension reject.
Drives one run end-to-end: parses stdout via parseCritiqueStream, scores each round through scoreboard helpers, persists lifecycle to critique_runs, and emits CritiqueSseEvent variants on the existing project event bus. Honors per-round and total timeouts, applies fallbackPolicy when no <SHIP> arrives, and tees events into writeTranscript so transcripts stream to disk without buffering the whole run in memory. Defensive entry validation throws RangeError on invalid CritiqueConfig before any side effect. Also adds scoreboard.ts (computeComposite, decideRound, selectFallbackRound) and re-exports panelEventToSse/CritiqueSseEvent from the critique subpath so daemon imports never touch the barrel. Fixes missing .js extensions in sse/critique.ts that caused NodeNext module resolution errors.
…k 4.4) Adds loadCritiqueConfigFromEnv to read OD_CRITIQUE_* keys with strict validation at boot. Branches the existing CLI spawn flow on cfg.enabled: when false (the M0 default) the legacy single-pass generation runs unchanged; when true the orchestrator owns the run end-to-end. Same SSE bus, same artifact dir, no behavior change for users until they flip the flag.
…zod bump) Conflict was in pnpm-lock.yaml only: upstream bumped openai which pulled in zod@4 transitively, while my contracts/zod stayed pinned to ^3.23.8. Took main's lockfile, re-ran pnpm install so the lockfile coherently holds both: zod@4 for upstream packages and zod@3 for contracts. No runtime collision because pnpm isolates per-package versions. Verified after merge: contracts typecheck -> exit 0 daemon typecheck -> exit 0 web typecheck -> exit 0 contracts test -> 10/10 daemon test -> all critique suites green
The earlier conflict resolution took main's lockfile and ran pnpm install, but the install pass on Windows didn't write the contracts package's zod and vitest entries back into the lockfile. CI's --frozen-lockfile install rejected the resulting state. Re-running pnpm install with --no-frozen-lockfile rewrites the lockfile so it now matches every package.json across the workspace, including contracts/zod ^3.23.8 and contracts/vitest ^2.1.8. Verified locally: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile passes.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This branch feeds raw child.stdout chunks directly into runOrchestrator, but most adapters in apps/daemon/src/agents.ts emit structured formats (claude-stream-json, copilot-stream-json, json-event-stream, acp-json-rpc) rather than plain critique XML. When OD_CRITIQUE_ENABLED=true, those adapters will send wrapper/protocol bytes to parseCritiqueStream, which causes malformed/degraded runs instead of normal execution. The orchestrator path needs to reuse the existing per-format decoding or be gated to plain-stream adapters only.

This computes critiqueArtifactDir from projectId, so every critique run in the same project writes to the same transcript.ndjson(.gz) path. Because writeTranscript always uses fixed filenames, later runs overwrite earlier transcripts and older critique_runs rows now point to the newest run’s transcript content. The directory key must be unique per run/artifact, not per project.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The parser emits every ship event with artifactRef: { projectId: '', artifactId: '' }, so downstream consumers never receive the artifact identity promised by the contract. This also makes orchestrator persistence fall back to placeholder artifact paths for shipped runs. artifactRef should be filled with actual run/project artifact IDs before emitting.

Hey @Nagendhra-web! 🔍 Deep review complete — found several must-fix lifecycle and parser invariants that need attention before merge. The Phase 4 architecture is solid, but there are edge cases around concurrent runs, missing boot-time recovery, parser envelope gaps, and mismatched spec/env names that would surface in production. See inline comments for the P1 blockers.

🔴 P1 — Fire-and-forget orchestrator races child exit
The orchestrator is started without awaiting, while the child close handler finalizes independently. A CLI that exits non-zero after partial valid XML will apply fallback as below_threshold instead of failed/cli_exit_nonzero. Timeout also doesn't SIGTERM the child because runOrchestrator only sees stdout, not the spawn handle.
Fix: Make one owner for lifecycle — race parser completion, child close, abort, and timers in one awaited flow. Pass child exit status into the orchestrator; kill the child on timeout/abort before final DB/SSE.

🔴 P1 — <SHIP> accepted anywhere, bypasses round-1 artifact guard
<SHIP> is accepted after <CRITIQUE_RUN> even inside an unclosed <ROUND> and before <ROUND_END>, so <CRITIQUE_RUN ...><ROUND n="1"><SHIP ...></SHIP></CRITIQUE_RUN> bypasses the designer artifact invariant entirely. Parser also emits artifactRef: { projectId: '', artifactId: '' }, discarding valid <ARTIFACT> content.
Fix: Enforce SHIP only after a completed round, validate/extract the final artifact block, and reject streams that close without the required round/artifact sequence.

🔴 P1 — Concurrent runs overwrite each other's transcripts
All runs for a project share artifactDir = ARTIFACTS_DIR/projectId, and transcript filename is always transcript.ndjson. Concurrent or sequential runs overwrite each other's files; every DB row stores the same path.
Fix: Make artifact/transcript directory or filename run-scoped: artifacts/<projectId>/<runId>/transcript.ndjson with collision-resistant temp names.

🔴 P1 — reconcileStaleRuns never called on boot
reconcileStaleRuns is implemented but not invoked. openDatabase only migrates. Daemon crash leaves running rows permanently running despite spec saying boot marks them interrupted.
Fix: Call reconcileStaleRuns after config/DB open with staleAfterMs = critiqueCfg.totalTimeoutMs. Add boot test that seeds old running row and verifies flip.

Timeout and abort emit failed/interrupted but finalComposite stays null, no synthetic ship is emitted, completed rounds only persisted as history. Contradicts spec's "ship best-so-far" behavior.
Fix: Select fallback round for timeout/interrupt when ≥1 round completed, persist composite/artifact, add assertions to timeout/abort tests for score and selected round.

@Nagendhra-web I reviewed the Phase 4 persistence, transcript, and spawn-orchestrator wiring against the live diff. The core direction is promising, but a few lifecycle and persistence invariants still need tightening before this can safely merge.
Generated by Looper 0.5.4 · runner=reviewer · agent=opencodeLocation: apps/daemon/src/server.ts RIGHT line 2516
Blocking: this starts runOrchestrator(...) in the background while the child close handler below remains the independent owner of the chat run lifecycle. That means the critique DB/SSE lifecycle never sees the child exit status, and the UI run can be finalized by close before the orchestrator has persisted its final critique status. A CLI that exits non-zero after emitting parseable critique XML can still be persisted as shipped/below-threshold, while a timeout inside runOrchestrator only stops reading stdout and does not terminate the child process. Please make one awaited lifecycle owner that races parser completion, child close/error, abort/cancel, and timeout; pass the child exit result into the orchestrator so non-zero exits become cli_exit_nonzero, and kill/abort the child before final DB/SSE persistence on timeout or cancellation.

Location: apps/daemon/src/server.ts RIGHT line 2508
Blocking: critiqueArtifactDir is only project-scoped (ARTIFACTS_DIR/<projectId>), but writeTranscript always writes transcript.ndjson or transcript.ndjson.gz inside that directory. Two critique runs for the same project, whether concurrent or simply sequential, will overwrite the same transcript path, and every critique_runs row will point at the same final file. That loses run history and can make replay/debugging read the wrong run's events. Please scope the transcript directory or filename by critiqueRunId, for example artifacts/<projectId>/<runId>/transcript.ndjson, and persist that run-unique relative path.

Blocking: the migration wires in the critique_runs table, but boot never calls the new reconcileStaleRuns(...) helper. The PR body says daemon restart recovery is handled by that helper, yet openDatabase() only calls migrate(db), so any process crash or restart during a run leaves old rows stuck in running forever. Please invoke reconcileStaleRuns during daemon startup after config/database initialization, using a cutoff tied to critiqueCfg.totalTimeoutMs or another explicit stale threshold, and add a boot/reopen regression test that seeds an old running row and verifies it becomes interrupted with the recovery reason.

Blocking: timeout and abort paths bypass the same best-so-far fallback policy used when the stream ends without <SHIP>. In these branches finalComposite remains null, no synthetic ship/best-round event is emitted, and completed rounds are only stored as history, even when completedRounds already has a valid candidate. That contradicts the advertised recovery behavior and will discard useful work exactly when long-running critique sessions hit timeout or user cancellation. Please run selectFallbackRound(completedRounds, cfg.fallbackPolicy) for timeout/abort when at least one round completed, persist the selected composite/artifact status consistently, and extend the timeout/abort tests to assert the selected round and score.

Following up on my earlier review: @mrcfps's findings cover 3 of the 4 P1 blockers I flagged yesterday (orchestrator lifecycle, transcript collision, boot reconciliation). I'm adding one additional must-fix parser invariant below that wasn't caught in the other reviews.
P1 — Parser accepts <SHIP> anywhere, bypasses round-1 artifact guard
The v1 parser accepts <SHIP> immediately after <CRITIQUE_RUN>, even inside an unclosed <ROUND> and before <ROUND_END>. A malformed stream like:
<CRITIQUE_RUN ...><ROUND n="1"><SHIP ...></SHIP></CRITIQUE_RUN>bypasses the round-1 designer artifact invariant entirely. The parser also emits artifactRef: { projectId: '', artifactId: '' }, so valid <SHIP><ARTIFACT>...</ARTIFACT> content is discarded.
Fix: Enforce SHIP only after a completed round, validate/extract the final artifact block, and reject streams that close without the required round/artifact sequence. The spec (critique-theater.md §3.4) requires exactly one designer ARTIFACT in round 1; the current regex-based check can also be fooled by literal <ARTIFACT text inside <NOTES>.
Once you address @mrcfps's blocking lifecycle issues + this parser guard, I'll re-review the fixes.
…factRef (Defects 3 + 5) - ParserOptions gains projectId + artifactId; the parser threads them into every emitted ship event's artifactRef so downstream consumers see the real run identity instead of empty placeholders. - <SHIP> now requires at least one closed <ROUND_END> in the same run; malformed streams that emit SHIP before any round complete now throw MalformedBlockError instead of bypassing the round-1 artifact invariant. - The SHIP handler validates the inner <ARTIFACT> block is present and non-empty; missing artifact raises MissingArtifactError. - Three new regressions: SHIP-before-round, SHIP-without-artifact, artifactRef populated from parser options. - Orchestrator threads projectId + artifactId into parserOpts. - Test fixtures updated to include <ARTIFACT> inside <SHIP> blocks.
… timeout (Defects 2,4,7,8) - Orchestrator now accepts child + childExitPromise, races parser / child-exit / abort / timeout in one awaited flow, and SIGTERMs the child on every non-clean termination. Server awaits the result so the run lifecycle has a single owner. - ChildExitError surfaces when child exits non-zero mid-stream; the run is classified as failed with cause cli_exit_nonzero. - Timeout / abort with at least one completed round elects a fallback via selectFallbackRound and emits a synthetic ship event with status=timed_out or interrupted; the score persists to critique_runs instead of staying null. - applyTimeouts includes childExitRace in every Promise.race so early child exits are classified without waiting for the total timeout. iter.return() cleanup is capped at 200ms to prevent hang on stalling generators. - writeTranscript writes gzip output to transcript.ndjson.gz.tmp, fsyncs, then atomic-renames. Crashes mid-write leave no partial .gz or .gz.tmp on disk.
…e (Defects 1, 2, 6) - Spawn-path branch now inspects def.streamFormat and only routes through runOrchestrator when format === 'plain'. Adapters emitting wrapper formats (claude-stream-json, copilot-stream-json, json-event-stream, acp-json-rpc, pi-rpc) fall through to legacy single-pass with a one-time stderr warning per format. Per-format decoding into the orchestrator is reserved for v2. - critiqueArtifactDir is now path.join(ARTIFACTS_DIR, projectId, runId) so concurrent or sequential runs in the same project never overwrite each other's transcript or final HTML. Persistence stores the relative per-run path. - reconcileStaleRuns is now invoked after openDatabase on every daemon boot with staleAfterMs = critiqueCfg.totalTimeoutMs. Stale running rows from a prior crash flip to interrupted with rounds_json. recoveryReason='daemon_restart'. Logs a one-line warning naming the flipped count when greater than zero. - Spawn now passes child + childExitPromise to runOrchestrator so the orchestrator can race child exit against the parser, abort signal, and timeouts in one awaited flow. Server awaits the orchestrator's result and surfaces failures through the existing run lifecycle.

Thanks @lefarcen and @mrcfps - all 8 items addressed across 850ab30, 6d7ed54, and 8d94bac. The two clean ones first: parser now refuses Lifecycle is the bigger surgery. Plain-stream gate is in: Tests: parser suite + 12 orchestrator + 10 transcript + 4 spawn-wiring (one per non-plain format plus the plain happy path) + 3 boot-reconcile (stale flip, recent untouched, idempotent). All three workspace typechecks exit 0. |

All 8 blocking items have been addressed across the three fix commits 🎉
Verified fixes:
- Lifecycle coordination — runOrchestrator now accepts child + childExitPromise, server awaits result, one owner
- Per-run artifact dir — ARTIFACTS_DIR/// prevents concurrent/sequential transcript overwrites
- Timeout/abort fallback — selectFallbackRound called on timeout/abort when ≥1 round completed, synthetic ship event emitted
- Boot reconcile — reconcileStaleRuns(db, {staleAfterMs: critiqueCfg.totalTimeoutMs}) called on daemon start (line 718)
- Parser SHIP guard — if (state.roundsClosed === 0) throws MalformedBlockError
- Ship event artifactRef — projectId/artifactId threaded from ParserOptions
- Plain-stream gate — if (adapterStreamFormat !== 'plain') falls through to legacy with warning
- Gzip atomicity — write to .gz.tmp, fsync, atomic rename; crash leaves no partial .gz
Test coverage: 542+ tests pass including 12 orchestrator + 10 transcript + 4 spawn-wiring + 3 boot-reconcile. All three workspace typechecks exit 0.
Looks good to me; deferring final approval to a maintainer.

Nearly there — 7 of the 8 blocking items are fixed, but one critical piece remains:
Still blocking: lifecycle status propagation (Item 1, partial fix)
The orchestrator is now awaited (no longer fire-and-forget ✅), but the server unconditionally finishes the chat run as succeeded regardless of the orchestrator's actual result:
// apps/daemon/src/server.ts:2966-2980
await runOrchestrator({
...
});
design.runs.finish(run, 'succeeded', 0, null); // ❌ Always succeededProblem: runOrchestrator returns OrchestratorResult with a status field that can be:
failed(CLI exit non-zero, etc.)timed_out(total timeout hit)interrupted(user abort / daemon restart)below_threshold(fallback selected)shipped(clean success)
Currently all of these show as "succeeded" to the user, which breaks the entire status contract. A timed-out run should not appear as succeeded.
Fix needed: Capture the orchestrator result and map its status to the appropriate chat run finish state:
const orchestratorResult = await runOrchestrator({ ... });
const chatRunStatus = orchestratorResult.status === 'shipped' || orchestratorResult.status === 'below_threshold'
? 'succeeded'
: 'failed';
design.runs.finish(run, chatRunStatus, orchestratorResult.status === 'shipped' ? 0 : 1, null);All other items verified fixed:
- ✅ Per-run artifact dir (
ARTIFACTS_DIR/<projectId>/<runId>/) - ✅ Timeout/abort fallback (
selectFallbackRound+ synthetic ship) - ✅ Boot reconcile (
reconcileStaleRunscalled on start) - ✅ Parser SHIP guard (
roundsClosed === 0check) - ✅ Ship artifactRef (real
projectId/artifactId) - ✅ Plain-stream gate (
streamFormat !== 'plain'falls through) - ✅ Gzip atomicity (
.gz.tmp+ fsync + rename)

@Nagendhra-web I reviewed the current Phase 4 head after the follow-up fixes. A few blocking correctness and validation issues remain: one is already breaking CI, and two affect the critique run lifecycle/scoring semantics.

Blocking: this new boot-reconcile test inserts status: 'running' through insertCritiqueRun, but CritiqueRunInsert.status is typed as CritiqueRunStatus, and that union deliberately excludes 'running'. The live Validate workspace check is failing on this line, and the same pattern repeats at lines 101 and 123, so the PR cannot pass @open-design/daemon test typecheck as submitted. Please either make the in-flight status part of the public insert/read type (if callers are expected to seed/query it), or add a separate internal insert/test helper/type that explicitly permits 'running' and update these assertions accordingly.

Blocking: the outer run is always finalized as succeeded after await runOrchestrator(...), but runOrchestrator catches child non-zero exits, parser/degraded failures, timeout, and interrupt paths and returns a result object with status: 'failed' | 'degraded' | 'timed_out' | 'interrupted' instead of throwing. Evidence is the new ChildExitError catch in orchestrator.ts that sets finalStatus = 'failed' and then returns normally; with this line, /api/runs and SSE clients still see a successful generation even when the critique row was failed or timed out. Please capture the orchestrator result and map non-success critique statuses to the existing run lifecycle (failed/canceled plus an appropriate code/signal), and add a spawn-wiring regression where a non-zero child exit causes design.runs.finish to receive failure rather than success.

Blocking: stderr and child.on('error') are attached only after runOrchestrator finishes. While the orchestrator is awaiting stdout/parser/timeout, no one consumes stderr in this branch, so a CLI that writes enough diagnostics can fill its stderr pipe and deadlock until the total timeout; an early child error can also fire before any listener exists. This undermines the new single-owner lifecycle because the owner cannot observe all child channels during the run. Please register stderr forwarding and the child error handler before the await runOrchestrator(...) call, and have the child-error path feed the same orchestrator/run-failure path instead of being installed after completion.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Blocking: the daemon recomputes the round composite from panelist scores, but this assignment overwrites that authoritative value with the agent-supplied <ROUND_END composite=...> attribute. The spec says scoreboard.ts is the single source for the formula and that composite mismatches should warn while the daemon recomputed value wins; as written, a malformed or adversarial stream can claim a high composite here, and the later <SHIP> path also trusts the emitted composite/status, letting a below-threshold run persist as shipped. Please keep the computed rs.composite authoritative, compare the XML attribute within the allowed tolerance to emit composite_mismatch, and derive the final ship/below-threshold decision from decideRound(...)/the selected daemon-scored round rather than trusting <ROUND_END> or <SHIP> attributes.
…rdering, insert type Round 2 review feedback on PR nexu-io#481. 1. CritiqueRunInsert.status now accepts 'running' so the boot-reconcile tests (and any caller seeding an in-flight row) typecheck without casting. The runtime check in insertCritiqueRun already accepted 'running' against the DB constraint set, only the public type was stricter than the DB. 2. round_end keeps the daemon-computed composite authoritative.

Thanks @lefarcen and @mrcfps. All 4 of round 2's blockers are addressed in 2949c09. CritiqueRunInsert.status now accepts 'running' alongside the terminal statuses, so the boot-reconcile tests typecheck without a cast. The runtime check already accepted it, only the public type was stricter than the DB constraint. Round-end keeps the daemon-computed composite authoritative. The agent's <ROUND_END composite=...> attribute is treated as advisory: a divergence beyond a small tolerance emits a composite_mismatch parser_warning so the discrepancy is observable, but the daemon's value is what scores and persists. Same policy for must_fix. Ship handling derives the final status from decideRound(...) over the daemon-scored round, not from . A run the agent claims as shipped but whose daemon composite is below threshold finalizes as below_threshold, so a malformed or adversarial stream cannot force a ship anymore. Server captures the orchestrator's result and maps the critique terminal status to the chat run lifecycle. shipped/below_threshold finalize as 'succeeded'; timed_out/interrupted/degraded/failed finalize as 'failed'. cancelRequested is honored. stderr forwarding and child.on('error') are wired BEFORE the orchestrator awaits stdout. A CLI that floods stderr can no longer fill the OS pipe and deadlock the run until the total timeout, and an early child error is observed by the same listener used afterwards. Tests: 3 new regressions in tests/critique-authority.test.ts (lying ship downgrades to below_threshold, mismatch warning emits, aligned composites stay quiet). 30 critique tests pass overall (14 orchestrator + 10 spawn-wiring + 3 boot-reconcile + 3 authority). All three workspace typechecks (contracts, daemon, web) exit 0. |

@Nagendhra-web I reviewed the current Phase 4 head and the follow-up fixes. A few blocking issues remain around the web build, cancellation lifecycle, and persisted artifact path before this is safe to merge.

Blocking: this new re-export uses a literal ./sse/critique.js specifier inside the source contract package, but the workspace web build consumes these .ts sources directly. The live Validate workspace check is failing in @open-design/web with Module not found: Can't resolve './sse/critique.js' at this line, even though packages/contracts/src/sse/critique.ts exists. That keeps the PR from building and would block any release path that runs pnpm build. Please align this with the rest of packages/contracts/src/index.ts by using the extensionless source specifier (and do the same inside src/sse/critique.ts for ../critique / ./common), or otherwise configure/export the submodule so Turbopack can resolve it from source.

Blocking: the child-exit race ignores signal-terminated exits because it only rejects when code is a non-zero number and treats code === null as an indefinitely pending success path. In the server wiring, /api/runs/:id/cancel sets run.cancelRequested and kills the child with SIGTERM; that resolves childExitPromise as { code: null, signal: 'SIGTERM' }, so the orchestrator just sees stdout end without <SHIP> and can persist the critique row through the normal no-ship fallback path (often below_threshold) instead of interrupted. The chat run may show canceled, but critique_runs.status and the transcript events record a fallback decision rather than user interruption. Please treat a non-null signal as terminal in this race, mapping intentional cancellation/abort to the interrupted path and unexpected child signals to a failed child-exit path, and add a regression where a SIGTERM/cancelled child persists interrupted instead of the fallback status.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Blocking: this persists an artifact path that is never actually written. The v1 parser validates that <SHIP><ARTIFACT>...</ARTIFACT></SHIP> exists, but it discards that artifact body and only emits artifactRef with the run id; the orchestrator then records ${artifactDir}/${artifactId} even though no file is created at that path. Any later replay/export/UI code that trusts critique_runs.artifact_path will point at a non-existent artifact for successful critique runs. Please either extract and write the final SHIP artifact to a real file under artifactDir and persist that concrete path, or keep artifactPath null until the phase that writes shipped artifacts lands, with a test that asserts the persisted path exists for shipped runs.
…null shipped artifactPath Round 3 review feedback on PR nexu-io#481. 1. packages/contracts/src/critique.ts inlines CritiqueSseEvent + panelEventToSse + CRITIQUE_SSE_EVENT_NAMES + a local mirror of SseTransportEvent. The previous re-export from './sse/critique.js' broke the workspace web build (Turbopack cannot rewrite .js to .ts on a relative source import) while removing the .js extension broke daemon's NodeNext typecheck (it walks this leaf via the './critique' subpath export which requires explicit .js extensions). Inlining removes the cross-file relative import entirely so both consumers walk one self-contained file. packages/contracts/src/sse/critique.ts is removed and its co-located test moves up to packages/contracts/src/critique.test.ts. The barrel packages/contracts/src/index.ts drops the redundant './sse/critique' re-export since './critique' already exports the same symbols. 2. apps/daemon/src/critique/orchestrator.ts treats a signal-terminated child as a terminal race rejection. Previously the race only caught non-zero numeric exit codes and treated code === null as indefinitely pending, so a SIGTERM from /api/runs/:id/cancel resolved childExitPromise as { code: null, signal: 'SIGTERM' } and the orchestrator fell through to the no-SHIP fallback path, persisting below_threshold instead of interrupted. The race now rejects with a new ChildSignaledError when signal !== null, and a new catch branch classifies the run as 'interrupted' and (if at least one round closed) emits a synthetic ship event with status='interrupted' so the persisted row and the SSE transcript reflect the actual cause. 3. Same file, ship-handling: artifactPath is now persisted as null on shipped runs until a future phase actually extracts the <SHIP><ARTIFACT> body to disk. Previously the orchestrator wrote ${artifactDir}/${artifactId} even though no file existed at that path, so any later replay/export/UI code that trusted critique_runs.artifact_path would dereference a missing file. The transcript still records the ship event with the artifact reference so consumers can find the run. Tests: - apps/daemon/tests/critique-lifecycle.test.ts: 2 new regressions (SIGTERM-terminated child after one closed round persists 'interrupted' with a synthetic ship event of the same status; shipped run leaves artifactPath null in result and DB row). - 43 critique-suite tests pass: 14 orchestrator + 11 transcript + 10 spawn-wiring + 3 boot-reconcile + 3 authority + 2 lifecycle.

Hey @Nagendhra-web — all three round-3 blockers from mrcfps's review are now resolved on head aff7d144:
✅ Web build issue (extensionless import) fixed
✅ Child signal-termination handling fixed (SIGTERM → interrupted)
✅ Persisted artifact path issue resolved (stays null until write exists)
CI is green, and the only new finding is a P2 refinement (not blocking): the interrupted-event bestRound field could use the fallback round number instead of the last completed round when best ≠ last. That's a polish item for a follow-up, not a merge blocker.
Deferring final merge approval to maintainer per policy, but from a code-correctness standpoint this is ready. 🎉

@Nagendhra-web I reviewed the current Phase 4 head after the latest fixes. Most prior blockers are addressed, but I found two remaining SHIP-normalization edge cases that can still let agent-supplied status/composite reach live clients or persistence.

Blocking: this emits every parser event, including a raw <SHIP>, before the daemon-authoritative scoring below has a chance to normalize it. Evidence: a stream can send <SHIP status="shipped" composite="9.5">, these changed lines immediately add it to collectedEvents and bus.emit(panelEventToSse(event)), and only later does decideRound(...) downgrade the persisted result to below_threshold. That leaves SSE clients and the transcript seeing a forged critique.ship even when the DB row is corrected. Please buffer raw ship events instead of emitting/collecting them here, then emit and persist a normalized ship event after decideRound(...) has selected the daemon-computed status/composite; the existing lying-SHIP regression should also assert the emitted critique.ship payload is downgraded.

Blocking: this fallback makes unknown or not-yet-closed SHIP rounds agent-authoritative again. The parser guard only checks that at least one prior <ROUND_END> exists, so a malformed stream can close a low-scoring round 1, open or reference round=2, and send <SHIP round="2" composite="10" status="shipped">; completedRounds.find(...) is then undefined and these lines persist the agent's claimed shipped status/composite. That bypasses the daemon scoreboard and reopens the scoring-integrity issue this patch is meant to close. Please reject/degrade SHIP events whose round is not present in completedRounds (or make the parser require SHIP to reference an already closed round) and add a regression for a SHIP that references an unclosed/unknown round.
…nclosed round Round 4 review feedback on PR nexu-io#481. The parser-event loop used to unconditionally collectedEvents.push(event) and bus.emit(panelEventToSse(event)) for every event, including raw <SHIP>. SSE clients and the transcript could see the agent's forged status="shipped" / composite="9.5" before decideRound(...) ran, even when the daemon later corrected the persisted DB row to below_threshold. The loop now skips ship events entirely; the orchestrator buffers the raw shipEvent, runs daemon-authoritative scoring, and emits a single normalized ship payload built from the daemon's computed composite, selectFallbackRound's mustFix, and decideRound's status. The transcript and SSE bus now only ever see the daemon-scored ship. The unknown-round fallback used to make agent-claimed status/composite authoritative when SHIP referenced a round that was never closed: a malformed stream could close low round 1, then send <SHIP round="2" status="shipped" composite="10">, completedRounds.find(r => r.n === 2) was undefined, and the orchestrator persisted the agent's value. That re-opened the scoring-integrity hole the previous round was meant to close. The orchestrator now drops a SHIP whose round isn't in completedRounds, emits a parser_warning, and falls through to the no-SHIP fallback policy. The synthetic ship from selectFallbackRound gets emitted instead, with daemon-authoritative round/composite/status. Tests: - tests/critique-authority.test.ts: extended the lying-ship regression to also assert the emitted critique.ship payload is downgraded (status='below_threshold', composite < threshold), so the SSE bus cannot see the agent's claim. Added a new regression where SHIP references an unclosed round 2: the agent ship is dropped, a parser_warning fires, the fallback selects round 1, and the only emitted critique.ship has round=1 and status=below_threshold. - 44 critique-suite tests pass: 14 orchestrator + 11 transcript + 10 spawn-wiring + 3 boot-reconcile + 4 authority + 2 lifecycle.

Both round-4 SHIP-normalization blockers fixed on head 4674ef5:
Blocker 1 (comment 3186227870) — SHIP round reference bypass: Lines 284-297 now check if shippedRound === undefined when the agent ships a round, and if so, the orchestrator drops the agent ship entirely, emits parser_warning, and falls through to the fallback policy. A malformed stream that closes round 1 and then ships unclosed round 2 can no longer bypass the daemon scoreboard.
Blocker 2 (comment 3186227867) — Raw SHIP SSE emission: Lines 185-193 now skip ship events in the parser loop (only buffer them), and lines 310-340 emit a single normalized ship event AFTER daemon scoring via decideRound(...). SSE clients and the transcript only ever see the daemon-authoritative status/composite, never the agent's raw claim.
Tests: Extended lying-ship regression (lines 167-172) now asserts the emitted critique.ship payload is downgraded. New unclosed-round regression (lines 174-227) asserts (a) only one emitted ship with round=1 and status=below_threshold, (b) parser_warning fires, (c) agent's forged round-2 ship never reaches the bus.
CI: SUCCESS (05:53:56Z)
All Phase 4 blockers resolved. 🎉

Hey @Nagendhra-web! 👍
Verified both round-4 SHIP-normalization fixes on current head 4674ef5:
✅ Unknown-round bypass closed — The agent can no longer spoof a high-scoring unclosed round. A SHIP whose round doesn't match a closed daemon-scored round is dropped entirely: parser_warning fires, and the orchestrator falls through to the no-SHIP fallback policy, which emits a synthetic ship with daemon-authoritative round/composite/status from the actual closed rounds. The round-2-spoof scenario (close low round 1, ship forged round 2) now persists below_threshold against the daemon's round 1, never the agent's claim.
✅ Raw ship SSE emission blocked — Ship events are buffered during the parser loop (the if (event.type !== 'ship') skip), and the normalized ship event is emitted only after decideRound(...) has run. SSE clients and the transcript now only ever see daemon-scored ship payloads whose status/composite come from the scoreboard, not the agent's raw <SHIP> attributes. A forged <SHIP status="shipped" composite="9.5"> can't leak to live clients anymore — the DB row and the emitted payload are both downgraded when the daemon composite is below threshold.
The orchestrator scoring contract is now fully locked down. Great iterative work through 5 rounds of review feedback! 🎉
All prior blockers (rounds 1-4) resolved. Deferring final approval to a maintainer.

@Nagendhra-web I reviewed the current Phase 4 head. The latest SHIP-normalization fixes are moving in the right direction, but I found a few remaining lifecycle and wire-contract issues that should be tightened before merge.

Blocking: this wraps every CritiqueSseEvent inside the existing agent SSE channel instead of emitting the critique.* event names defined by the new contract. Evidence: the changed line calls send('agent', e), while packages/contracts/src/critique.ts defines concrete events like critique.run_started, critique.ship, and critique.failed; the spec also says the existing SSE stream carries every new critique.* variant. As written, clients that subscribe/reduce those new event names will never see them, and event.data is a nested { event, data } object rather than the contract payload. Please emit the mapped SSE frame directly, for example emit: (e) => send(e.event, e.data), and add/adjust a spawn-wiring test that asserts a parsed run produces event: critique.run_started / event: critique.ship frames rather than event: agent.

Blocking: the orchestrator records a valid shipEvent here but keeps consuming stdout until the source ends before it normalizes and persists that ship. Evidence: this line only assigns shipEvent = event; the normalization happens after the for await loop, so a CLI that emits a complete valid <SHIP> and then hangs or leaves stdout open will be raced by applyTimeouts(...) until totalTimeoutMs and the catch path will persist timed_out instead of the already completed ship decision. That loses successful runs and can show users a failure after the artifact actually converged. Please stop the parser loop as soon as the first accepted SHIP is buffered, terminate/stop reading the child as needed, then immediately normalize/persist the ship; add a regression where a stream yields a valid SHIP and then stalls, and assert the result is shipped/below_threshold rather than timed_out.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Blocking: completed rounds are appended here without enforcing cfg.maxRounds, so the configured hard round limit is effectively ignored unless the agent voluntarily stops or the total timeout fires. Evidence: cfg.maxRounds is validated at entry and the spec documents OD_CRITIQUE_MAX_ROUNDS as the hard upper bound, but after completedRounds.push({ ...rs }) there is no check that the number of closed rounds has reached the limit. An agent that keeps emitting round 4, 5, ... without SHIP can continue consuming runtime and transcript space until totalTimeoutMs, instead of applying fallbackPolicy at the configured convergence bound. Please check the closed-round count after each round_end; when it reaches cfg.maxRounds and no accepted SHIP exists, kill/stop the child, apply selectFallbackRound(...), and add a test that maxRounds: 1 finalizes after round 1 even if more output follows.

During implementation the orchestrator subagent createdscoreboard.tsinside this same Task 4.3 commit because it didn't realize the standalone existed. Rather than carry two parallel histories of the same file, the queue was simplified: Phase 3 was dropped as its own PR and the scoreboard module ships inside this commit.
