Portable worker lifecycle replacement design and observe-only acceptance contract.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Worker Lifecycle

## Decision and scope

Build a replacement, not another permanent authority alongside the current
worktree lifecycle. Ship Linux first, with a portable core and a later macOS
adapter, entirely in user space, with a structurally non-destructive observe-only
implementation. This document specifies intended behavior;
it does not claim implementation, deployment, or proven reliability.

The replacement owns worker-run lifecycle tracking, worktree-generation bindings,
reconciliation, and eventually admission to cleanup. Archive and removal remain
separate executors. Neither executor independently guesses worker liveness.

Observe-only mode may write only its private database and bounded diagnostics. It must
not update the old registry, acquire real worktree ownership, create or remove
worktrees, signal processes, archive data, or authorize deletion. Initially there
is no executor implementation or switch that enables destructive behavior.

## Architecture

One Python package, one CLI, one private SQLite database on a local filesystem.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marcusquinn/aidevops/.agents/worker-lifecycle/DESIGN.md@sha256:cb57411192ef1cee

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.bcd3814, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
