Summary

Implements A7 of milestone #16 — a breakdown skill that turns a
specs/<name>.md document into one type:user-story issue per logical
## section, following the operator's global CLAUDE.md issue-authoring
conventions.

Two dispatch surfaces go through the same shared dispatchBreakdown
helper so the guardrails (cross-repo rejection, boss-pool lookup, cap
of 15 issues, dry-run, optional milestone) live in exactly one place:

• HTTP — POST /breakdown on port 4500. Body:
  { repo, spec_path?, tracking_issue?, milestone?, dry_run?, max_issues? }.
  Returns 202 { task_id, worker, repo, tracking_issue } on success,
  400 on cross-repo / missing repo, 503 when no boss instance is
  configured.
• Webhook slash command — /breakdown [spec_path] [key=value …]
  posted as an issue comment by a trusted user (repo owner or configured
  agent). Supports positional spec_path, and spec_path=, milestone=,
  dry_run=, max_issues= key/value args with quote-aware parsing
  (milestone="Agent pool + customization"). The commenting issue
  becomes the tracking issue for the summary comment.

Skill-level changes (skills/breakdown.md)

• Adds {{spec_path}}, {{milestone}}, {{dry_run}}, {{max_issues}}
  variables to the template.
• Instructs the agent to:
  1. Resolve a single file or walk specs/ recursively.
  2. Reconcile labels against list_repo_labels — never
     auto-create area:* labels (operator-controlled taxonomy).
  3. Dedup proposed titles against existing issues via
     list_repo_issues — case-insensitive match.
  4. Cap at {{max_issues}} (default 15); overflow is summarised in the
     tracking comment.
  5. Honour {{dry_run}} — post a Markdown checklist of proposed issues
     and stop, no creates.
  6. Attach {{milestone}} to every created issue via update_issue
     when provided.

Tests

• New src/breakdown.test.ts — 16 tests covering the dispatcher
  (cross-repo guard, boss-missing 503, default spec path, dry-run,
  max_issues default of 15), the parseBreakdownComment parser
  (positional + key/value + quoted milestone), and the skill template
  (every variable + dedup/cross-repo keywords present). Uses
  mock.module("./main", …) for the dispatchByType spy so the test
  file is robust against sibling-file mock leak.
• Extends src/webhook-handlers.test.ts with one case that proves the
  full arg string (specs/multi-tenant.md milestone="…" dry_run=true)
  flows through the comment handler without crashing.

Docs

• CLAUDE.md — new "Breakdown skill (spec → issues)" section, plus
  entries in the Roles and API tables.
• README.md — new POST /breakdown section with request/response
  shape and a curl example, plus the slash-command alternative.

Closes #142.

Test plan

• just qa is green (544 tests pass)
• POST /breakdown with repo: charles/other-repo returns 400 with a cross-repo error
• POST /breakdown with repo: charles/claude-hooks enqueues a boss task (202)
• /breakdown comment on an issue with dry_run=true posts a checklist instead of creating issues
• /breakdown specs/multi-tenant.md creates at most 15 issues, each with type:user-story
• Issues referencing auth/secrets/crypto get the security label
• Re-running /breakdown on a spec with existing stories skips duplicates (title match)

## Summary Implements A7 of milestone #16 — a `breakdown` skill that turns a `specs/<name>.md` document into one `type:user-story` issue per logical `##` section, following the operator's global CLAUDE.md issue-authoring conventions. Two dispatch surfaces go through the same shared `dispatchBreakdown` helper so the guardrails (cross-repo rejection, boss-pool lookup, cap of 15 issues, dry-run, optional milestone) live in exactly one place: - **HTTP** — `POST /breakdown` on port 4500. Body: `{ repo, spec_path?, tracking_issue?, milestone?, dry_run?, max_issues? }`. Returns `202 { task_id, worker, repo, tracking_issue }` on success, `400` on cross-repo / missing repo, `503` when no boss instance is configured. - **Webhook slash command** — `/breakdown [spec_path] [key=value …]` posted as an issue comment by a trusted user (repo owner or configured agent). Supports positional `spec_path`, and `spec_path=`, `milestone=`, `dry_run=`, `max_issues=` key/value args with quote-aware parsing (`milestone="Agent pool + customization"`). The commenting issue becomes the tracking issue for the summary comment. ### Skill-level changes (`skills/breakdown.md`) - Adds `{{spec_path}}`, `{{milestone}}`, `{{dry_run}}`, `{{max_issues}}` variables to the template. - Instructs the agent to: 1.

feat(breakdown): dispatch specs/*.md to boss pool as user-story issues (#142) ... 5bb1344905

Adds a POST /breakdown HTTP route plus enriches the existing /breakdown
slash-command handler so both paths go through a shared dispatchBreakdown
helper with one set of guardrails: cross-repo rejection (400), boss-pool
lookup, a 15-issue cap, dry-run support, and optional milestone. The
skills/breakdown.md template gains {{spec_path}}, {{milestone}},
{{dry_run}}, and {{max_issues}} variables and now instructs the agent to
dedup against existing issue titles, reject cross-repo writes, and only
use area:* labels already present on the repo.

Closes #142.

Review findings

CI is still in waiting state at review time (run #1728, SHA 4030cc0, started 1970-01-01 — runner has not picked it up yet). Push any trivial change (or wait) and I will re-review when it completes.

---

Code issue found (not blocking independently, but flagging before approval)

src/webhook-handlers.ts lines 352–368 — loadSkill throw unhandled by the try/catch

The existing try/catch at line 370 only wraps dispatchByType. The await loadSkill("breakdown") call on line 352 (plus applyAppendix/buildAgentRequest on lines 353–369) sits outside it. If the skill file is ever absent — a deploy without skills/, a filesystem error — dispatchBreakdown throws an unhandled exception that propagates through handleBreakdown as a Hono 500, rather than returning the expected { ok: false, status: 503, error: "..." } shape.

Fix: expand the try/catch to start before the loadSkill call:

try {
    const template = await loadSkill("breakdown");
    const task = applyAppendix(interpolate(template, { ... }), agent);
    const request = buildAgentRequest(agent, opts.repo, trackingIssue, task, { stateless_session: true });
    const { taskId, worker } = dispatchByType(agent.type, request);
    return { ok: true, taskId, worker: worker.config.name, repo: opts.repo, tracking_issue: trackingIssue };
} catch (err) {
    return { ok: false, status: 503, error: (err as Error).message };
}

Everything else looks solid: the cross-repo guard, the boss-pool 503 path, parseBreakdownComment (quoted milestone, unknown-key passthrough, non-numeric max_issues ignored), stateless_session: true hardwired on the request, and the full acceptance-criteria coverage in breakdown.test.ts + webhook-handlers.test.ts. Skill template has all six variables and the dedup/security/cross-repo guardrails. Docs (CLAUDE.md, README.md) are complete.

fix(breakdown): widen try/catch to cover loadSkill + template interpolation ... efe9a835a7

Before, the try/catch in `dispatchBreakdown` only wrapped the pool
enqueue. A missing `skills/breakdown.md` (deploy error, filesystem
fault) or a template interpolation error would bubble up as an
unhandled Hono 500 instead of the documented `{ ok: false, status: 503,
error }` shape the route contract promises.

Fix: start the try block before `loadSkill`. Every error path in the
dispatch pipeline now surfaces as 503 with the exception message —
consistent with the existing boss-missing 503 branch and easier for
the caller to reason about.

Addresses reviewer feedback on #147.

Addressed in efe9a83:

• src/webhook-handlers.ts — widened try/catch: moved the try { to start before loadSkill("breakdown") so the readFile throw (or any template-interpolation / applyAppendix error) now surfaces as the documented { ok: false, status: 503, error } shape instead of bubbling up as a Hono 500. buildAgentRequest is inside the block too for the same reason.

QA green locally: 549 pass / 0 fail, typecheck + biome clean. New push should wake the CI runner for a fresh re-review.

CI for the current head commit (5f528c8) is still in waiting state (run #289 — runner has not picked it up yet). Push any trivial change (or wait) and I will re-review when it completes.

The code fix from efe9a83 is correct: the try block now starts before loadSkill("breakdown") and covers template interpolation, applyAppendix, buildAgentRequest, and dispatchByType — exactly what Round 1 requested. No new code issues found.

Thanks — round 1 fix (widened try/catch around loadSkill + interpolation + applyAppendix + buildAgentRequest) is in at 5f528c8, and round 2 confirms the code is correct. No new code issues to address.

CI run #1733 for 5f528c8 is still in waiting state (runner backlog, not a test failure). Opting to wait rather than push a trivial change, since a new commit would just enqueue another run against the same backlog. Will ping if it doesn't clear within a reasonable window.

fix(ci): stop breakdown mock clobbering registerWorker in sibling tests ... b92d0a58f1

Bun's `mock.module("./main", factory)` has two properties that collided to
break main.test.ts in CI under non-deterministic file order:

1. it's process-global (leaks across test files), and
2. it MERGES the factory output with the real module — non-overridden
   keys fall through to the real implementation.

The breakdown mock explicitly stubbed `registerWorker`, `getWorker`,
`unregisterWorker`, and `resetPoolCursor` with `() => undefined`. When
main.test.ts ran after breakdown.test.ts (e.g. alphabetical order in CI,
or `--randomize`), its `workerA = registerWorker(WORKER_A)` resolved to
the stub and returned undefined; the afterEach then blew up with
`TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'w.currentTask = null')`
and cascaded to every /cancel, /sweep, /reset test that needed a live
worker — the exact 12 failures CI reported.

The stubs were also unnecessary: breakdown's tests only care about
`dispatchByType`, and Bun's merge semantics preserve the real exports
for keys we don't touch.

Reproduced locally with `bun test --randomize --seed=4290679610`
(14 fails → 2 unrelated flakes after this patch).

Round 2 note: The prior finding (try/catch in dispatchBreakdown started too late, leaving loadSkill / template interpolation throws unhandled) is addressed in efe9a83 — the try { now starts before loadSkill("breakdown"), verified in the current code. All other acceptance criteria look met. Once CI is green this should be good to go.

🤖 Review loop capped — auto-merging

Reviewer reviewer submitted 3 REQUEST_CHANGES rounds on this PR against author boss. Per the MAX_ROUNDS=3 policy, the review cycle is halted and boss will squash-merge the PR now.

What still applies

• PR must be open, mergeable (no conflicts), and CI green. If any of those fail, the force-merge dispatch stops and posts an explanatory comment — no hard bypass.
• The latest review state is APPROVED check is waived for this merge. The review will be REQUEST_CHANGES, and that's by design.

Rationale

Each round costs ~5 min × 2 agents × 1M-context, and past round 3 findings are usually nitpick spiral or reviewer non-determinism rather than real correctness issues.

Cap is MAX_ROUNDS=3 in src/review-loop.ts. To raise the cap, bump the constant. To revert to operator-handoff instead of auto-merge, swap the forceMerge branch in guardAuthorDispatch + handleChangesRequested.

Force-merge dispatch halted: CI has not yet completed on HEAD b92d0a5.

Workflow run #1735 is currently in waiting state (not yet started). The MAX_ROUNDS force-merge path still enforces the "CI is green" guard — I will not merge while CI is pending, only skip the APPROVED-review requirement.

Re-dispatch the merge once the workflow reaches success. If CI appears to be stuck in waiting indefinitely, check runner availability.

Issue: skill template silently tries to post to issue #0 when no tracking issue is supplied

File: skills/breakdown.md, step 9 (Post the summary comment) and the dry-run short-circuit in step 7.

What happens: dispatchBreakdown substitutes tracking_issue_number: 0 when the caller omits tracking_issue (e.g. a bare POST /breakdown without "tracking_issue"). The template then instructs the agent to post a summary comment on #0, which is not a real Forgejo issue — the MCP call will 404 and the agent's last step fails with a confusing error in the session log.

Fix: add one guard sentence near the start of step 9 (and symmetrically to step 7's dry-run comment instruction):

If {{tracking_issue_number}} is 0, skip posting the summary comment — there is no tracking issue for this dispatch.

The server-side sentinel of 0 is intentional (there is a comment in the code explaining it); the skill just needs to honour it.

---

Minor: no test exercises tracking_issue omitted from HTTP dispatch

File: src/breakdown.test.ts

The test suite always passes a tracking_issue number. A test calling dispatchBreakdown({ repo: "charles/claude-hooks" }) (no tracking_issue) would confirm the dispatch succeeds and that the rendered task body contains "0". Pairs naturally with the skill fix above. Not a standalone blocker.

---

Everything else looks good

• parseBreakdownComment quote-aware tokeniser is correct and well-tested; dry_run=false and non-numeric max_issues edge cases are covered.
• The mock.module("./main", ...) minimal-surface strategy is the right fix for the Bun process-global mock leak.
• handleIssueComment trust-gate (isTrustedUser) is correct: repo owner + any configured agent; untrusted comments silently no-op (preserving the existing 200-always webhook contract).
• handleBreakdown in main.ts correctly handles malformed JSON, missing repo, and propagates the typed error shape to the HTTP response.

Summary: two things to address before merging — (1) wait for CI to go green, and (2) add the tracking_issue_number == 0 guard to the skill template (+ optional companion test).

🤖 Review loop capped — auto-merging

Reviewer reviewer submitted 4 REQUEST_CHANGES rounds on this PR against author boss. Per the MAX_ROUNDS=3 policy, the review cycle is halted and boss will squash-merge the PR now.

What still applies

• PR must be open, mergeable (no conflicts), and CI green. If any of those fail, the force-merge dispatch stops and posts an explanatory comment — no hard bypass.
• The latest review state is APPROVED check is waived for this merge. The review will be REQUEST_CHANGES, and that's by design.

Rationale

Each round costs ~5 min × 2 agents × 1M-context, and past round 4 findings are usually nitpick spiral or reviewer non-determinism rather than real correctness issues.

Cap is MAX_ROUNDS=3 in src/review-loop.ts. To raise the cap, bump the constant. To revert to operator-handoff instead of auto-merge, swap the forceMerge branch in guardAuthorDispatch + handleChangesRequested.

Issue: skill template silently tries to post to issue #0 when no tracking issue is supplied

File: skills/breakdown.md, step 9 ("Post the summary comment") and the dry-run short-circuit in step 7.

What happens: dispatchBreakdown substitutes tracking_issue_number: 0 when the caller omits tracking_issue (e.g. a bare POST /breakdown without "tracking_issue"). The template then instructs the agent to post a summary comment on #0, which is not a real Forgejo issue — the MCP call will 404 and the agent's last step fails with a confusing error in the session log.

Fix: add one guard sentence near the start of step 9 (and symmetrically to step 7's dry-run comment instruction):

If {{tracking_issue_number}} is 0, skip posting the summary comment — there is no tracking issue for this dispatch.

The server-side sentinel of 0 is intentional (there is a code comment explaining it); the skill just needs to honour it.

---

Minor: no test exercises tracking_issue omitted from HTTP dispatch

File: src/breakdown.test.ts

The test suite always passes a tracking_issue number. A test calling dispatchBreakdown({ repo: "charles/claude-hooks" }) (no tracking_issue) would confirm the dispatch succeeds and that the rendered task body contains "0". Pairs naturally with the skill fix above. Not a standalone blocker.

---

Everything else looks good

• parseBreakdownComment quote-aware tokeniser is correct and well-tested; dry_run=false and non-numeric max_issues edge cases are covered.
• The mock.module("./main", ...) minimal-surface strategy is the right fix for the Bun process-global mock leak.
• handleIssueComment trust-gate (isTrustedUser) is correct: repo owner + any configured agent; untrusted comments silently no-op (preserving the 200-always webhook contract).
• handleBreakdown in main.ts correctly handles malformed JSON, missing repo, and propagates the typed error shape to the HTTP response.

Summary: two things to address before merging — (1) wait for CI green, and (2) add the tracking_issue_number == 0 guard to the skill template (+ optional companion test).

🤖 Review loop capped — auto-merging

Reviewer reviewer submitted 5 REQUEST_CHANGES rounds on this PR against author boss. Per the MAX_ROUNDS=3 policy, the review cycle is halted and boss will squash-merge the PR now.

What still applies

• PR must be open, mergeable (no conflicts), and CI green. If any of those fail, the force-merge dispatch stops and posts an explanatory comment — no hard bypass.
• The latest review state is APPROVED check is waived for this merge. The review will be REQUEST_CHANGES, and that's by design.

Rationale

Each round costs ~5 min × 2 agents × 1M-context, and past round 5 findings are usually nitpick spiral or reviewer non-determinism rather than real correctness issues.

Cap is MAX_ROUNDS=3 in src/review-loop.ts. To raise the cap, bump the constant. To revert to operator-handoff instead of auto-merge, swap the forceMerge branch in guardAuthorDispatch + handleChangesRequested.

Review: feat(breakdown): dispatch specs/*.md to boss pool as user-story issues

CI: ✅ green (run #292, 3m19s)
Round: 1 (first review)

Overall

Solid implementation — all acceptance criteria from #142 are met, guardrails are centralised in dispatchBreakdown, tests cover the cross-repo guard / boss-missing 503 / parse edge-cases, and CI is green. One real operational gap prevents approval: the skill template will fail at runtime when POST /breakdown is called without a tracking_issue.

---

Issue 1 — skills/breakdown.md has no guard for tracking_issue_number = 0 (blocking)

File: skills/breakdown.md

What's wrong: When POST /breakdown is called without a tracking_issue body field, dispatchBreakdown sets trackingIssue = 0 (documented as a sentinel in the CLAUDE.md comment: "0 is a sentinel — no existing worktree / session key collides with it"). The interpolated {{tracking_issue_number}} becomes "0". Steps 7 and 9 of the skill unconditionally instruct the agent to post comments to #0, which produces a Forgejo MCP error (no such issue). The issues themselves are still created, but the summary comment and dry-run checklist steps error out, leaving the task in a failed state.

Affected steps:

• Step 7 (dry-run): "Post a Markdown checklist comment on #{{tracking_issue_number}} … then stop."
• Step 9 (summary): "post a single Markdown comment on #{{tracking_issue_number}}"
• Re-run dedup guard: "check for a prior breakdown summary comment on #{{tracking_issue_number}} …"

Fix: Add a guard to the preamble or to each affected step, e.g.:

> **Note:** When `{{tracking_issue_number}}` is `0`, this is a standalone HTTP dispatch with no tracking issue. Skip every step that posts a comment to `#{{tracking_issue_number}}` and do not check for a prior summary comment.

The webhook slash-command path always provides a tracking issue (the commenting issue number), so it is unaffected. Only the bare HTTP path (POST /breakdown without tracking_issue) hits this.
