# Wakeflow Controller
Use this skill only from the controller window. `AGENTS.md` owns hard judgment;
this skill owns the mechanical loop steps.
## Purpose
Wakeflow Delivery Loop lets the controller fan out work to target windows,
receive compact result envelopes, review raw evidence, and decide the next
package. It does not replace planning, scope control, or acceptance.
Direct-thread dispatch is the normal transport. In explicitly enabled
unattended mode, keep reviewing results, pulling evidence, deciding, planning
next eligible packages, and dispatching until final completion, a hard gate,
explicit user stop, missing evidence that needs human judgment, or no eligible
TODO remains.
After the host accepts a delivery, record `status=sent` with
`transportStatus=accepted`. `readback.status` separately records the bounded
observation; `pending` or `unavailable` never authorizes a resend or lease
release. The controller dispatch turn is then complete unless the Agent chooses
one more bounded read-only inspection. Do not keep the
turn open with `sleep`, repeated result review, repeated thread reads, or manual
polling. The target returns later through a `TargetResultEnvelope` and, if
policy allows, a controller-return delivery.
## Source Practices For Acceptance
**Iron Law: NO ACCEPTANCE WITHOUT FRESH RAW-EVIDENCE THAT PROVES THE INTENDED BEHAVIOR.** A result
envelope, a script's `OK`, or a window's success report is a review input, never the proof.
Violating the letter of this rule is violating its spirit.
Controller acceptance adapts mature review practice — `code-reviewer` (understand intent first, then
correctness, safety, maintainability, performance, tests; start large changes at entrypoints and
high-risk files), `senior-qa` (confidence per unit effort; flakiness is evidence degradation, not
success), and SRE evidence practice (separate symptom, cause, black-box, and white-box evidence;
logs, probes, and scripts are inputs, not conclusions) — under Wakeflow's stricter authority
boundary: target windows, Test, Design, scripts, and MCP tools provide review inputs; only the
controller accepts, requests rework, blocks, waits, completes a demand, archives, or creates the
next package.
| Claim | Requires | Not sufficient |
|---|---|---|
| Target task done | the VCS diff / raw evidence reviewed this turn | the envelope says "done" |
| Behavior delivered | evidence shows the user-visible behavior | a connection / empty API / static mock exists |
| Demand complete | line-by-line vs the requirement design + non-goals | all tasks marked done |
| Ready for Test | existing non-Test targets accepted + controllerSelfChecks recorded | hoping Test will establish correctness |
**Red Flag — a third point-fix on the same task.** Two failed reworks on one task mean the next move
is a *new* root-cause hypothesis or a non-bug-mismatch route to Design redesign — not another bounce
between product windows.
## Controller Return Prompt Shape
Controller return prompts should be compact:
```text
Continue controller review: <windowA>, <windowB> backfill.
Review context:
- stateRoot: <path>
- dispatchGroup: <group>
- trigger: <window/task>
- blockedTargets: <only when non-empty>
- remainingTargets: <only when non-empty>
- pendingDispatchTargets: <only when non-empty>
Required execution Skill:
- skills/wakeflow-controller/SKILL.md
```
Do not expose empty `blockedTargets`, `remainingTargets`, or
`pendingDispatchTargets`; keep full group details in machine state.
## Start Or Resume A Dispatch
1. Read `AGENTS.md`, the active workspace index/status, and the current state
root or controller document.
2. Confirm the user goal, fully read original plan / requirement design
decisions, completion definition, remaining gap, first blocker, current
demand status, and eligible target tasks.
3. State the safe operation, recovery boundary, and one-sentence plan before
using tools, editing files, dispatching, accepting, archiving, or deleting.
If a tool returns `state-transition-recovery-required`, stop the original
operation, run `wakeflow_recover_state_transition` as a dry-run and then
with `apply=true`, re-read state, and only then decide whether the original
operation is still needed. Never make another state writer recover it
implicitly.
4. If the demand is blocked, cancelled, archived, review-ready, or lacks
evidence, stop instead of preparing another package. If it is completed,
classify the new fact before acting: same-demand continuation, independent
follow-up, or no work. Never call `wakeflow_add_task` against completed state.
5. Create or select a task package only when it advances the confirmed goal.
New packages must record the complete dispatch context once: `workType`,
one observable `objective`, a short ordered `contextSummary`, anchored
`requirementRefs`, `boundaries` (`inScope`, `outOfScope`, `forbidden`),
`completionExpectations` ordered most important first, explicit `dependsOnTaskIds`, and
`commitExpectation`. The prompt is a compact briefing generated from this
package: it surfaces the objective, at most the first two completion
expectations, one highest-priority context fact, one critical boundary, up
to four acceptance-anchor ids/claims, and the ordered document/Skill
navigation. The package retains every context fact, requirement anchor,
boundary, completion condition, probe, and policy. Do not defer these
decisions to the target or re-author them during dispatch.
Order each boundary list most important first. The compact prompt surfaces
only the first available boundary in `forbidden → outOfScope → inScope`
order, so its first entry must be the one the target cannot safely miss.
For implementation work, author a small `acceptanceAnchors` list from the
confirmed requirement: each entry names `{id, claim, probe, expected}` that
the target can turn into a RED check before coding. Do not invent anchors
from implementation leftovers; if the required behavior cannot be stated as
a probe, the package is not ready. Doc-only and research packages may omit
anchors.
6. For a Test package, first confirm every active required non-Test target is
`accepted` and `controllerSelfChecks` states what you already verified and
why the real scenario remains necessary. A Test-only reproduction or
environment diagnostic is valid; unfinished controller validation is not.
For any Pod product/Test dispatch, also require
`podProvisioning.phase=execution-ready` and the target's verified
host-scoped binding. A suffix, static config path, or prompt identity is not
a binding. For Pod Test specifically, additionally require
`podProvisioning.testAccess.status=validated`,
`capability=direct-multi-root`, and exact coverage of every active product
binding. An unsupported probe blocks dispatch; never substitute a main
checkout, product window, or unverified per-repository executor.
7. Call `wakeflow_prepare_delivery` for the target without `apply`. Review its
`readiness`, `taskBriefing`, repository identity, requirement anchors,
dependency status, required Skills, and exact prompt. A preview writes no
packet, envelope, window config, or lock.
8. If the preview is correct, call the same tool again with `apply=true`. This
freezes the validated packet and delivery envelope; pass
`previewDigest` back as `expectedPreviewDigest`. Do not
override the package objective or substitute another human-context
reference. The digest covers the package, state revision, resolved
repository, prompt, and transport configuration; any change requires a
fresh preview.
9. Send the envelope prompt through the Codex host thread tool exactly as stored
in the envelope.
10. Read back the host send evidence and record the delivery run. If the send
succeeded but the newest turn is still in progress with no visible items,
or the sent prompt is not visible yet, treat that read as inconclusive:
retry only the readback within the host adapter's bounded attempt/time
budget. Never resend the prompt while confirming the same accepted send.
11. End the dispatch turn.
## Review Target Results
1. Import or locate target result envelopes for the dispatch group.
2. Run group review against the state root.
3. Check for missing, blocked, or ready targets.
4. Pull raw evidence before deciding.
5. Review acceptance inputs:
- full original plan / requirement design, including explicit decisions,
non-goals, and forbidden shortcuts;
- original user goal and completion definition;
- current state root and task package;
- dispatch group and target identity;
- target result envelope;
- raw evidence paths, commits, commands, reports, logs, screenshots, runtime
JSON, probes, or Test evidence;
- product repository rules and relevant Design/Test artifacts;
- TODO/backlog implications.
6. Check acceptance questions:
- Does the evidence prove the intended user/system behavior, not only that a
script ran?
- Are inputs, outputs, state/data changes, call chains, real consumers,
failure paths, and edge cases covered enough for this task scope?
- Did the target stay inside its assigned window/repository and task package?
- For every authored acceptance anchor, where is the target's RED/GREEN
mapping, and what fresh independent probe did I run against the claim?
- Are tests or probes at the right seam, and did they cover the behavior that
matters?
- For a non-Test target, have I personally established functional
completeness and correctness without relying on a future Test run?
- For a Test target, does the evidence only explore the approved real
environment or hidden-defect boundary, without redefining completion?
- If adding a TODO, follow-up, or next package, is it authorized by the
original requirement decisions rather than inferred from residual code,
existing tests, target backfill, or implementation leftovers?
- Is the remaining gap a product-code defect, or a non-bug mismatch between
the current effect and the user's intended outcome?
- Is any remaining risk a blocker, a follow-up, or a user/controller
decision?
- Which TODOs close, remain, or need to be added?
7. Decide explicitly, two-stage (spec compliance first, then quality):
- **accept** the target result;
- **rework** — a product-code defect: re-dispatch the same window
(`decide-review --decision rework`, reworkCount++);
- **redesign** — a non-bug mismatch, or a small requirement-level fix that is Design's
job and not a code defect: `decide-review --decision redesign` parks the task and
increments `redesignCount` instead of bouncing point-fixes between product windows.
Mainline may use its stateless Design delivery and then add a full-context replacement
with `replacesTargetTaskId=<parked task>`. A Pod must stay in its own Design lane;
because 0.9.3 supports only one frozen Pod Design request/handoff
generation, a redesign may use that sole generation only before any
request exists; a different second request remains blocked rather than
falling back to mainline Design or overwriting the recorded handoff;
- **blocked** — a hard blocker that needs a human;
- wait for missing targets, complete the demand, or create the next eligible package.
- **Brake:** when the task-ledger shows `recurringProblem` (reworkCount ≥ 2) on a task,
do NOT plain-rework it again — give a *new* root-cause hypothesis or choose `redesign`.
- **Brake:** if a demand's `redesignCount` reaches 2 and the effect still misses, the
requirement is unclear at the *user* level — escalate to the user, not another redesign round.
8. Record the decision in controller state before dispatching follow-up work.
## Acceptance Decision Format
Use this shape when recording or reporting controller acceptance:
```markdown
## Controller Acceptance
- User goal:
- Scope reviewed:
- Original requirement authority:
- Target/window:
- Evidence reviewed:
- Implementation reality:
- Validation result:
- Blockers:
- Missing evidence:
- Residual risks:
- TODO/backlog rollup:
- Decision:
- Next action:
```
`Decision` must be one of:
- `accept-target-result`
- `request-rework`
- `request-redesign`
- `mark-blocked`
- `wait-for-missing-target`
- `needs-user-decision`
- `complete-demand`
- `archive-completed-work`
- `create-next-package`
Never use `accepted` as a shorthand unless the evidence, scope, and TODO rollup
are already stated.
## Craft Evidence At Acceptance
When a task package carries an `evidenceContract`, the machinery has already
hard-checked the objective half at reduce (`craft-evidence-required`: required
kinds present, declared artifacts resolve). The judgment half is yours:
- The review pack echoes each result's `craftEvidence` and a `craftCheck` /
`advisoryCraftKinds` reminder. Entries with `verify: controller-rerun` mean
YOU re-run them at acceptance (tests/typecheck/lint within the controller
self-validation boundary) — the script never runs repo commands for you;
`artifact-present` means the artifact was existence-checked only;
`self-attested` is a claim on the audit trail, not proof.
- Read the `self-review` note: stage-1 spec compliance against designIntent,
and — on a rework round — the point-by-point response to your previous
rework reason. A result that silently ignores a rework point is not ready.
- `recurringProblem` (reworkCount >= 2, surfaced at prepare-dispatch and in the
task ledger): stop redispatching point fixes — expect a `root-cause-note`,
and prefer the root-cause re-derivation or the `redesign` route.
- A package WITHOUT a contract is not a defect (doc-only work legitimately
skips it) — the create/add reminders exist so the omission is a decision,
never an accident.
- For a full-context result, `resultMapping.status=complete` means every
authored acceptance anchor or approved Test step is represented exactly
once. It is only a review-readiness fact: independently inspect/rerun the
evidence before accepting.
- Check `commitDisposition`, `commits`, and `changedRepos` against the task
package's `commitExpectation`. A `resultContractGap` blocks a verdict until
the target records a corrected result or an honest blocked/needs-review
result.
## Group Policies
- `group-ready`: wait until every expected target is ready or a blocker makes
the group impossible. Then return once to the controller.
- `per-target`: return when a target result arrives, still with group context.
- Empty target groups are not completion evidence.
- A single target result is not group completion unless the group expected only
that target.
## One Window Per Repo Within A Demand
- WITHIN one demand, each repository runs exactly ONE window and receives ONE
combined task package: list every work item for that repo in the package
(the state root holds the detail), and the window self-sequences priorities
and returns one evidenced result. A window is never dispatched two
simultaneous tasks inside the same demand — more work for that repo arrives
as the NEXT combined package after review, never as a parallel dispatch.
- Mainline work uses the configured mainline product window. A Pod product
window (`<repo>__<pod>`) exists only after explicit user Pod authorization
and a host-created worktree receipt. Wakeflow refuses a second active binding
for the same `(host, demand, repo)`; it does not impose a numeric Pod or
per-repository limit.
- Merge/integration remains a human-reviewed repository decision. Logical Pod
close records the host's disposition; it never treats an archived thread as
proof that Codex physically removed a worktree or branch.
## Demand Pods (explicit parallel execution, never automatic placement)
- **Default:** ordinary and Auto Claim work uses the idle, healthy mainline.
If mainline is busy, wait. Missing/unhealthy required mainline identity
returns `mainline-unavailable` before demand/TODO mutation; repair the
mainline. Never infer Pod placement from another active demand or a
`Controller__*` name.
- **Authorization:** a Pod demand must already carry
`executionPlacement.selection=explicit-user-pod` and an auditable
`authorizationRef`. Legacy `maxActiveDemands` / `maxStreamsPerRepo` fields
are migration warnings only; they neither authorize nor reject a Pod.
- One Pod = independent `Controller__<pod>`, `Design__<pod>`,
`Test__<pod>`, and one product session per selected repository. Pods are
mutually unaware and every controller-return uses that demand's stamped
controller window.
- `wakeflow_pod_open` is plan/reserve only. It creates host-neutral launch
operations and no branch, worktree, thread, or dynamic repository overlay.
For each product operation, resolve the exact saved Codex project and call
`create_thread` with `environment.type=worktree`; never fall back to the
workspace parent or `local`. Control roles are three distinct local threads.
- Immediately before each host create call, record `creating` through
`wakeflow_pod_record event=materialization`. If Codex returns `clientThreadId`,
record `pending`, then call bounded `list_threads(limit=50)` and match the
exact `launchCorrelationId` marker in each task `preview`; do not create
again. Use `query` only when the current host schema supports it, never as a
requirement. The temporary id is persisted only as a digest and can never
enter the registry. Record `finalized` only when exactly one final task
matches; zero or multiple matches stay pending/blocked.
- Register only that final real `threadId`, collect the entry-sync cwd/Git
receipt, then call `wakeflow_pod_bind`. A prompt assertion or window-name
suffix is not a binding. `control-ready` requires all three control
bindings; `execution-ready` additionally requires the recorded Pod Design
handoff and every planned product binding.
- The Pod's single Design generation uses
`wakeflow_pod_plan action=design-request → PodDesignRequest →
PodDesignHandoffEnvelope → wakeflow_pod_record event=design-handoff`; the frozen
request supplies exact lineage and cannot be replaced by a different
request. Wakeflow 0.9.3 does not yet persist multiple Pod Design generations:
if a later supplement or redesign needs a new request/handoff, stop with a
capability blocker. Never overwrite the frozen request, route the Pod
through the mainline Design window, or create a duplicate global TODO.
- Before Pod Test dispatch, call `wakeflow_pod_plan action=test-access`, execute
that exact host-local probe from `Test__<pod>`, and record the redacted
receipt with `wakeflow_pod_record event=test-access`. Only validated
`direct-multi-root` access across all active product bindings opens dispatch.
Unsupported access stays blocked; a verifiable per-repository executor is
not currently implemented.
- Test ENVIRONMENTS may be physical singletons even though Test windows are
per-pod: an exclusive environment (per the S1 Test Environment Spec) is a
cross-pod serial resource — confirm no other pod is using it before
dispatching the card.
- Close is two-stage: `wakeflow_pod_plan action=close` emits host-close operations; the
Agent archives/handoffs the Codex threads and records each result through
`wakeflow_pod_record event=close-receipt`. Only then does Wakeflow close the
logical binding. Physical Codex worktree GC remains a separate host fact.
- `wakeflow_view scope=pods` reads canonical state plus host-scoped operations and
bindings. It never guesses identity from a path or overlay.
- Cancelling instead of finishing: `wakeflow_cancel_demand` stops an
in-flight demand WITHOUT pretending completion — no acceptance, evidence
stays, open tasks keep their last honest status. A cancelled Pod still needs
the same logical close receipts before archive.
## Completed Demand Continuations
- Completion is an accepted checkpoint, not permission to rewrite history. If
a completed but unarchived demand later has a verified bug inside its
original completion definition, a confirmed supplement to that definition,
or an explicitly authorized optimization that the user says belongs to the
same demand, use `wakeflow_continue_demand`.
- Read the original plan / Requirement Design and the completion evidence
first. Record `continuationType`, a reason that explains why this is still the
same demand, evidence or decision references, and the first concrete target
package in the SAME call. The operation preserves all accepted tasks and the
earlier `demand.completed` event, then returns the state to `planned`; it does
not dispatch or accept anything. The demand must pass normal review and
`wakeflow_complete_demand` again.
- Do not split the operation into a manual state edit followed by
`wakeflow_add_task`, and do not create a temporary demand/pod to work around
the terminal-state guard. If the operation fails, the completed state must
remain unchanged.
- Archived demand roots are immutable to workflow continuation. The only
sanctioned in-place amendment is `wakeflow_archive target=sanitize-demand`, which may
replace a polluted archived root with a re-scanned privacy-clean copy while
preserving the original locally; it never reopens tasks or changes
acceptance. Independently scoped optimization,
backlog work, or anything discovered after archive goes through the normal
TODO / `wakeflow_create_demand` path with an explicit reference to the prior
demand; never move or edit the archived root back into `current/`.
## Intent Alignment
- Two flexible sides, one check: Design's `designIntent` is a sketch, not a
contract; the controller's `objective` is today's best arrangement, not a
transcription. Deviation is often adaptation, not error — the check turns
unconscious drift into a conscious confirmation, nothing more.
- Dispatch moment: when the task package carries a designIntent, the prepare
output shows it beside your objective. Authoring the objective IS the
confirmation; make an intentional adaptation visible in its wording (author
it at the FIRST prepare — same-revision re-prepares must not change content).
- Review moment: the review pack shows designIntent / objective / result per
task plus one `intentCheck` line. If the delivery departs from the design
intent without a declared adaptation, run a requirement review (Original
Plan / Requirement Design) first; if the requirement itself must change,
decide `redesign`. Your decide-review reason is the confirmation record.
- No scores, no gates: intent alignment never blocks anything; evidence-based
acceptance stays the only verdict.
## Stage Gates (route map: wakeflow-governance/references/stage-route-map.md)
- Before the FIRST implementation dispatch of a demand, verify the Design exit
gate AT THE DEMAND'S SCALE: full five-item gate for a requirement; a bug
needs reproduction + scope + non-goals + Test decision (no Original Plan
ceremony); a supplement needs a delta against the existing Requirement
Design; research never gets an implementation dispatch. Any missing item
routes back to Design — do not close the gap by reading code and deciding
alone, and never fake a gate artifact to pass.
- Before adding or dispatching a Test package, verify every active required non-Test
target is accepted, record the concrete controller reruns in
`controllerSelfChecks`, and copy the Design-stage Test Environment Spec
into the card's realScenarioConditions/allowedOperations. You DECIDE which
confirmed environment applies; the user CONFIRMED it at Design; Test only
EXECUTES. Never send Test hunting for env vars, endpoints, or credentials.
- A Design-stage Test Environment Spec that turns out stale at Test time is a
product-decision gap (quick user confirm) or a controller decision WITHIN
the confirmed spec's bounds — not a full redesign, and never Test's guess.
- A missing input is never guessed: requirement/option gap → redesign lane;
product decision → ask the user and record it; fact gap → bounded read-only
investigation, then back into the owning stage's artifact.
## Storage Hygiene (idle-moment habit)
- Archive a completed/cancelled demand through `wakeflow_archive` dry-run
first. If it reports real-id or user/workspace absolute-path findings, review
the categories and re-run with `redact: true`; the committed staging copy
must pass the final scan and the original moves to `preserved/`. Opaque
evidence stays byte-for-byte in that local original; unless clean opaque byte
inclusion was explicitly authorized with `allowOpaque`, the portable archive
contains only its safe placeholder and manifest metadata. A real id
in a path preserves the highest sensitive file/subtree once, writes one
`redacted-id-N` path placeholder, and applies the same alias to text
references; a portable-path collision remains a blocker.
- If a historical archived demand is already committed with those findings,
use `wakeflow_archive target=sanitize-demand` on that exact archived state root (dry-run
first). Never hand-edit it, move it back to `current/`, or use this repair as
a continuation path.
- In a spare moment (no in-flight deliveries, no pending reviews), glance at
`wakeflow_view` scope `storage`: known trees with class/size/age, legacy
residue, unknown trees, aging `preserved/` entries. It is orientation, not
a work queue — nothing there authorizes deletion.
- An `unknown-tree` under `.wakeflow-local/` always routes to the user. After
the user selects a keeper, call `wakeflow_storage_preserve` with `source`
and `reason` first as a dry-run, then repeat with `apply: true` (the ONE
sanctioned rescue move; writes the manifest). Never invent another holding
location and never auto-delete.
- Aged audit holds: review each `MANIFEST.md`, then
`wakeflow_prune_runtime target=preserved` (dry-run first) or keep with an
updated manifest. Transport GC stays `wakeflow_prune_runtime` (default
target).
## Stop Conditions
Stop instead of dispatching when:
- The user goal or completion definition is unclear.
- The Design exit gate is incomplete for a new demand's first implementation
dispatch, or a Test dispatch leaves an existing non-Test target unaccepted,
omits the controller's self-checks, or lacks its confirmed environment block.
- Required evidence is missing or unreadable.
- The state root is not current or cannot be trusted.
- The controller is reacting to a keyword, familiar command shape, script hint,
or urgency before naming the safe operation, recovery boundary, explicit
plan, and smallest valid next step.
- A target window, repository, upstream dependency, or real thread id is
missing.
- The next action would change scope, delete capability, downgrade capability,
or make a product decision without user confirmation.
- The next action would add a TODO, follow-up requirement, task package, or
scope expansion from code facts, test output, target evidence, implementation
leftovers, or residual fields without first reading the full original plan /
requirement design and confirming that the addition stays inside the original
decisions and non-goals.
- A target result lacks reviewable evidence.
- Evidence is only target prose, superficial script output, or status-table
motion.
- Test says evidence is acceptable but the controller has not reviewed the raw
artifacts named by Test.
- The result is only an empty interface, static mock, unused adapter, type-only
contract, unreachable route, or documentation motion without a real consumer
and validation path.
- The evidence shows a non-bug outcome mismatch, or a small requirement-level fix that is
Design's job and not a code defect: `decide-review --decision redesign` parks the demand
(needs-rework, redesignCount++) instead of bouncing point fixes between product windows.
For a mainline demand, surface the redesign to the stateless mainline Design window with
`wakeflow_deliver`; after the corrected requirement returns, add a full-context replacement
package to the SAME demand with `replacesTargetTaskId` set to the parked product task. Do
not create a new demand or re-dispatch the old task. For a Pod demand, do not use mainline
Design: Wakeflow 0.9.3 cannot create a second frozen Pod Design generation, so keep the
demand blocked and report that capability gap rather than overwriting the recorded handoff.
Accepting a valid replacement marks the old task/package `superseded`; the parked demand's
history and counts carry over.
- A completed result would leave TODO/backlog, archive state, or current status
inconsistent.
- The controller is about to poll/wait for targets after a send was recorded.
- There are no eligible tasks.
## Verification
Use the smallest verification that covers the changed surface. For Wakeflow
total-control work in an installed workspace, use MCP tools instead of direct
runtime scripts:
- `wakeflow_verify` for overall Wakeflow verification. Use `scriptTests: true`
only when the change is Wakeflow source/plugin script maintenance.
- `wakeflow_status` for repository, state-root, and delivery-loop orientation.
- `wakeflow_next_work` for after-completion candidate scans.
- `wakeflow_archive` (target=docs / target=todo) for archive
dry-runs or applies.
- `wakeflow_create_demand`, `wakeflow_add_task`, `wakeflow_complete_demand`,
`wakeflow_continue_demand`,
`wakeflow_prepare_delivery`, `wakeflow_record_delivery`,
`wakeflow_record_target_result`, `wakeflow_review_pack`,
`wakeflow_reduce_results`, and `wakeflow_decide_review` for state-root,
result review, and delivery mechanics.
Do not run `node .../plugins/cache/.../wakeflow/.../scripts/*.mjs`, copy
installed runtime script paths, or infer script flags from old docs during
normal total control. If the Wakeflow MCP tool surface is unavailable, stop and
report that the plugin must be reloaded or reinstalled.
Only when the current repository is Wakeflow source and the user is maintaining
Wakeflow scripts or automation, source-repo verification may use:
- `node scripts/wakeflow-verify.mjs`
- `node scripts/wakeflow-verify.mjs --with-script-tests`
- `node scripts/wakeflow-check-scripts.mjs --json`
- `node scripts/wakeflow-smoke.mjs`
- `npm test`
Script output is evidence, not acceptance.
- A proven host rejection before send is normally released automatically by
exact compare-and-delete during host-send recording. If that cleanup is not
recorded, use the manual fallback
`release-window-lock --window <name> --expected-delivery-id <id> --write`
(MCP `expectedDeliveryId`). Accepted, ambiguous, or readback-pending sends
retain the lease. Omitting the id remains deliberate manual stale/corrupt
recovery; dry-run first and never infer pre-send failure from old prose.
