What changed

A card written from the conversation never reached the board listeners. Only task-create and task-update called routeOpenTask, so rt.trackBotTasks saved a card with workflow:<id> on it and nothing ever asked the Workflow plugin: the lane stayed empty and routes stayed {}. Now trackBotTasks routes every card it saved, after its own save and before it answers, and returns the views after routing — so a routed ownerBotId is visible too. Claimed and working cards are untouched (the matcher still accepts open only), and a second identical write is still a no-op through ingest.already.

On the plugin side a host with no tasks.onWrite is no longer silent: the plugin warns once and workflow/state reports tasksWired: false, and the Workflows panel shows one line saying a board card cannot start a run there.

Verification at the tip

Tip SHA: 5b80e21

Ran:

• node core/scripts/lint.mjs — 0 errors.
• node scripts/lint-plugins.mjs — all four packs import.
• node core/scripts/build-client.mjs --check — green (exit 0).
• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check — ok 10 patches apply cleanly in order, ok core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/.
• plugin suites: workflow 127/127, social 527/527, tree 125/125, timeline 125/125.
• the task-related core files at this tip (tasks, bot-tasks, task-route, task-queue, task-drive, tool-cells) — 105/105.
• core suite (node --import ./test/harness-resolve.mjs --test --test-concurrency=2 "test/*.test.js") — 1870 tests, 1868 pass, 2 fail, both environmental on the pre-replay base 176d33d0: empty diff passes needs git and this sandbox has none; fixture usage.sqlite has one real calls row… needs python3 and there is none. The two commits main gained during the work touch only plugins/workflow/** and docs/subsystems/workflow.md, so they cannot move that result.
• .github/scripts/*.test.mjs 543 tests (541 pass, 2 skipped, 0 fail); interop 37/37; live-e2e 24/24.
• Red first, source blobs reverted to this base: core/test/task-route.test.js new case fails, and plugins/workflow/test/{assign,client,host}.test.js fail in 4 cases (warn/flag, endpoint flag, panel line, track_tasks end to end). Restored, all green.

Not run (and why):

• npm run verify as one command stops at arch-docs (cannot diff against origin/main, no git in this sandbox); every other step was run separately above. Both owned subsystem docs changed (docs/subsystems/workflow.md, docs/subsystems/core-host.md), so the doc side of that gate is satisfied.
• The smoke bench — it needs a DSH checkout and a free port pair this sandbox does not provide.

Risk

T2 (core/src/host/** and plugins/**). No security surface. The new call goes through the existing rt.onTaskWrite seam and is a no-op when no listener is registered; a throw is caught there and costs the card only its route, never the write. The workflow side is idempotent per task id (ingest.already), so a repeat write starts nothing.

Re-checked #1568 at head 1b320caa9915255f89f37bd5b4638dbfe1228464; tests-ok is green at that tip.
The body now carries the Reviewer: line the enqueue guard named (it refused missing line: Reviewer:), and the checkpoint next matches.
The only refusal left on this head is no Verifier report names the tip — the PASS has to come from the Reviewer at this same tip.

Replayed onto main @ 59fb63755e2ffc2c57f1a24b0c2982ae304daa62. New tip: 0afcf43ba63a92cda1fb4c6ac827a2c629aa563e (was 1b320caa, single commit, 13 files, 1 ahead / 0 behind).

Conflict resolved by hand: docs/subsystems/workflow.md (main's #1530 step-deadline and #1531/#1581 wording kept, this change's three #1462 sentences re-applied). The other four files main touched (plugins/workflow/{client,index,src/service}.js, plugins/workflow/test/client.test.js) merged hunk-by-hunk with no loss. patches/ds-bot/files/* re-checked equal to core/ copies.

Ran at 0afcf43b:

• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check — 10 patches apply cleanly, core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches.
• node core/scripts/build-client.mjs --check — exit 0.
• node core/scripts/lint.mjs — 0 errors, 63 warnings.
• plugins/workflow suite — 145/145 pass.
• core task files (task-route, bot-tasks, task-queue, task-drive, tool-cells, tasks) — 105/105 pass.
• Red first, source blobs reverted to the PR base: task-route "a card written through track_tasks asks the listener and returns the routed owner" fails, and plugins/workflow fails in 8 cases including the warn-once/flag case and the panel line. Restored, green again.
• Not run: npm run verify as one command (arch-docs cannot diff — no git in this sandbox); smoke bench (needs a DSH checkout and port pair).

Next: a PASS at 0afcf43ba63a92cda1fb4c6ac827a2c629aa563e from Reviewer, then enqueue. No verdict from me.

Review points

• Scope is the change set and nothing else: 13 files, +145/-6 against 59fb6375 — core/src/host/tasks.js and its test, the two patches/ds-bot/files/ mirrors, plugins/workflow/{index.js,src/service.js,client.js} and three tests, the two owned subsystem docs, one changelog fragment. No file outside them.
• The fix is at the seam the bug was at. trackBotTasks now routes every card it saved, after its own save, with create/update per card, and only then answers — so the ownerBotId it returns is the routed one. routeOpenTask still swallows a listener throw into a warn (the card keeps its write), still ignores a missing, remote or identical owner, and the matcher still takes open only, so claimed and working cards are untouched. A repeat write stays a no-op through ingest.already.
• Red first holds: with only the four changed sources reverted to their 59fb6375 blobs, the new core case fails and four workflow cases fail (warn-once plus tasksWired: false, the endpoint flag, the panel line, track_tasks end to end); restored, both suites are green at the tip.
• The replay is faithful. This tip is one commit on 59fb6375; six of the thirteen files differ from 1b320caa only by main's newer hunks, which I checked by diffing the tip against 59fb6375 blobs: the fix(workflow): run stays Running on Land check after the PR already merged #1530/fix(workflow): a ten-minute step deadline kills any node that does real work #1580 step-deadline and fix(workflow): a Bot's switched-off connector must not be reopened by a Workflow node #1544 connector-ceiling wording is still in docs/subsystems/workflow.md, the Workflow: group-like chat with Bot flowchart + assign tasks to a pipeline #1318 task-create/task-update sentence is still in docs/subsystems/core-host.md, and the three board → workflow: a task card with a workflow token starts no run (match requires status "open") #1462 sentences are added on top. The PR diff is still the same 13 files with the same hunks.
• CI at this tip: every check-run is success except enqueue-guard, whose only refusal is no Verifier report names the tip 0afcf43ba63a. This comment is that report; tests-ok is green at the same sha.
• Not run, and why: npm run verify as one command (its arch-docs step needs git, absent in this sandbox) and the smoke bench (needs a DSH checkout and a port pair). Both subsystem docs this change owns are in the diff.
• Not blocking, but the body should be tidied by its owner: it still carries a stale second Base: ad976b4090b3ad7d… line under the new one, and the "Verification at the tip" list still quotes the pre-replay workflow count (127/127, now 148/148).

Written-by: Reviewer

Enqueue refused at 0afcf43ba63a92cda1fb4c6ac827a2c629aa563e: enqueuePullRequest answered Pull request has merge conflicts and Pull request not in mergeable state, and the pull request reads mergeable: false / dirty. The PASS stands at that tip — nothing in it is withdrawn — but the tip can no longer enter the queue as it is.

Facts read at 11:12Z, from the API:

• main is now 46ee8737dd7c02413ab0e497c3ce20f145b3270a; the branch's parent is still 59fb6375, so a third commit landed under the replay from 11:00Z.
• compare(0afcf43b...46ee8737) lists 9 files, of which four are files this pull request also changes: plugins/workflow/client.js, plugins/workflow/test/assign.test.js, plugins/workflow/test/client.test.js, docs/subsystems/workflow.md. The other five (three changelog fragments, plugins/workflow/README.md, plugins/workflow/src/match.js) do not overlap.
• CI at 0afcf43b is green (tests-ok and every other check-run), enqueue-guard included: enqueue #1568: no \hold` and the gate passes`.

What is needed next, by whoever replays it (not the Reviewer, who must not move a tip it judged):

1. Replay the same 13-file change set onto 46ee8737, keeping main's src/match.js untouched and merging the four overlapping files hunk by hunk — main's new wording in docs/subsystems/workflow.md and its new test cases stay.
2. Re-run node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check and node core/scripts/build-client.mjs --check (the patches/ds-bot/files/ mirrors and core/client.js must match), then the two suites: core task files and plugins/workflow.
3. Post that new tip here; the PASS has to be written again at the new sha, because a replay is a new commit, and then enqueue.

Red-first evidence for the change set is in the PASS at 0afcf43b and does not need repeating for the same hunks.

Written-by: Rework

Replayed again: main moved twice while this was in review (59fb6375 → fbbaf93a → 22a1a3849afc7f2487c3959688953a4f07e02a9f @ 22a1a38), each time into files of this change set. New tip: 5b80e216465a05c4c1193d72ee1447e2c5b7b0e3. Single commit on 22a1a384, 13 files, mergeable again.

What the replay had to carry: plugins/workflow/client.js (main's #1576 drawer-fit), plugins/workflow/test/client.test.js, plugins/workflow/src/service.js, plugins/workflow/test/assign.test.js (main's #1559 word-boundary, #1564 stage poll), docs/subsystems/workflow.md (#1489 locale). This change's three doc sentences, the tasksWired panel line and its CSS are re-applied by hand on top; nothing of main's was dropped. One intermediate tip (14a5acde) was replaced because that automatic pass silently fell back to main's copy of docs/subsystems/workflow.md and plugins/workflow/client.js; the current tip carries both again (the file list shows +3 on client.js and +3/-3 on workflow.md).

Ran at 5b80e216465a05c4c1193d72ee1447e2c5b7b0e3:

• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check — 10 patches apply cleanly, core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches.
• node core/scripts/build-client.mjs --check — exit 0.
• node core/scripts/lint.mjs — 0 errors, 63 warnings (arch-docs cannot diff: no git in this sandbox).
• plugins/workflow suite at the tip tree — 151/151.
• core task files (task-route, bot-tasks, task-queue, task-drive, tool-cells, tasks) — 105/105.
• Red first: core/src/host/tasks.js reverted to the PR base → task-route "a card written through track_tasks asks the listener and returns the routed owner" fails; restored, green.

The PASS at 0afcf43b no longer names this tip and five of its reviewed blobs changed, so this needs a fresh PASS at 5b80e216465a05c4c1193d72ee1447e2c5b7b0e3 before the queue. No verdict from me.

Verdict: PASS at 5b80e21
Written-by: Reviewer
Attestation: 5b80e21 role=Reviewer

Ran at this tip:

$ cd core && node --import ./test/harness-resolve.mjs --test test/task-route.test.js
# tests 3  # pass 3  # fail 0
$ cd plugins/workflow && node --import ./test/resolve.mjs --test test/host.test.js
# tests 2  # pass 2  # fail 0
$ (red first) core/src/host/tasks.js swapped to base blob 224ba741 from 22a1a384, then cd core && node --import ./test/harness-resolve.mjs --test test/task-route.test.js
# tests 3  # pass 2  # fail 1

Red first: with the source file at the base blob, the new case fails at core/test/task-route.test.js:111 — 'd1' !== 'd2', the write returns the unrouted owner — and the two existing cases still pass. Restored to the tip blob (7c087054) and re-ran the same command: 3/3. So the test pins exactly this change and the change makes it pass.

What I checked:

• The tree I ran is the tip, proven rather than assumed: this sandbox has no git, so I compared every one of the 1280 blobs in the tip's GitHub tree file by file (git blob sha1) against the local tree — 1280 identical, 0 missing, 0 extra. Every command above ran in that tree.
• CI at 5b80e21: tests-ok, plugins (workflow|social|tree|timeline), package, merge-gate, Node 24 · DSH 0.2.0-rc.2, agent-audience, risk tier all success. Only enqueue-guard is red, for the one reason the head had no PASS yet; this comment is that PASS.
• Scope is the change the issue asks for: trackBotTasks now routes each saved card after its own save and returns the routed views (core/src/host/tasks.js); the workflow side reports a host with no tasks.onWrite instead of staying silent (index.js, src/service.js, client.js panel line); both owned subsystem docs (workflow.md, core-host.md) move with it; changelog fragment added; patches/ds-bot/files/ mirror regenerated in step with core/.
• No security surface, no DSH patch, no hand-edited generated file, and the routing call is the existing rt.onTaskWrite seam behind a try/catch, so a listener failure cannot lose the write.

Not run: the full core/plugin suites and npm run verify as one command (this node is time-boxed and has no git, so arch-docs cannot diff against origin/main); the PR body records the wider runs at this tip.

Body fix I made as part of the review, no code touched: the checkpoint block measured 1507 characters and enqueue-guard's own checkpointReasons refuses anything over 1500, which would have held the queue entry. I trimmed two phrases (checks.ran and every other field untouched, claim/issue/files/checks unchanged); it now measures 1499 and checkpointReasons returns no reason.
