orchestrator.rs

//! Mission engine — the orchestrator loop (plan §4.5).
//!
//! [`MissionEngine`] owns the single-writer event log, the reduced state, the
//! git repo, and one long-lived streaming orchestrator session. Every event
//! goes through [`MissionEngine::emit`] (append → reduce → snapshot) so
//! log/state/snapshot never drift; events appended directly by
//! [`runner::run_worker`]/[`runner::run_validator`] are folded back in through
//! [`MissionEngine::catch_up`] immediately after each run.
//!
//! ## Orchestrator session protocol
//!
//! The real backend ([`crate::backend_claude`]) writes the
//! [`PromptMode::Streaming`] initial prompt as the first stdin user message,
//! and *every* user message — the initial one included — runs one turn ending
//! in its own `Result` event. The engine therefore keeps a strict 1:1 send/
//! pump discipline:
//!
//! 1. `ensure_orchestrator` starts the session with the *seed* as the
//!    streaming initial prompt (planning intro during Planning, a resume nudge
//!    when resuming a previous sdk session, [`digest::render_reseed`]
//!    otherwise) and pumps that seed turn to its `Result`.
//! 2. Every subsequent turn is `send_user_message(digest + message)` followed
//!    by a pump to the next `Result` (plan §4.8: the engine owns state, the
//!    digest re-grounds every turn).
//!
//! If the stream closes or stalls mid-turn (see `orch_stall_timeout`), the
//! session is dropped and the turn retried once against a fresh re-seeded
//! session; a second consecutive failure is [`EngineError::Backend`].
//!
//! ## Git hygiene
//!
//! The engine's own bookkeeping (`events.jsonl`, `state.json`, `control/`,
//! `runs/`) lives inside the repo under `.kranz/` and churns constantly, so
//! the engine writes a `.kranz/.gitignore` covering exactly those files.
//! `plan.json` is deliberately *not* ignored — it is committed to the mission
//! branch at approval (plan §4.4). This keeps the §4.4 dirty-tree discipline
//! meaningful: a dirty tree after a worker run is *worker* dirt.

    // CONTRACT NOTE — what re-planning CAN and cannot express today.
    //
    // Re-planning a mission that is already Running/Blocked must NOT lose
    // completed work. The obvious approach — re-emit `plan.approved` with the
    // full revised plan — is unusable here: the reducer rebuilds `milestones`
    // from `plan.approved` wholesale (ms-<n>/f-<n>-<m> ids reassigned, every
    // status reset to Pending), which would clobber completed milestones and
    // features. And there is no first-class "add a milestone" or "revise the
    // plan" event in the contract (events.rs) — the ONLY event that adds work
    // is `fixfeature.created`, and it only appends a feature to an EXISTING
    // milestone.
    //
    // So re-planning is deliberately scoped to what the existing event
    // vocabulary can express honestly, on the FIRST not-yet-complete milestone
    // (the one work is actively flowing through):
    //   (i)  DROP a still-pending planned feature the revision removed
    //        (`feature.skipped`), and
    //   (ii) ADD a feature the revision introduced (`fixfeature.created`,
    //        origin=fix — the same mechanism validation fixes use).
    // Completed milestones/features and already-started features are left
    // untouched; the revision is rejected if it tries to alter them. The full
    // revised plan is committed as `revised-plan.md` for human review (the
    // engine writes + commits it, like plan.md), and an `orchestrator.decision`
    // records the revision so it appears in the replayed history and digest.
    //
    // What this CANNOT express (see contractChangeRequest below): adding a
    // brand-new milestone, reordering remaining milestones, or revising a
    // not-yet-started LATER milestone's feature set. Those need a first-class
    // `milestone.added` / `plan.revised` event.
    //
    // contractChangeRequest: add a `plan.revised { plan }` (or a narrower
    // `milestone.added { milestone }`) event whose reducer semantics MERGE the
    // revised remainder onto the existing milestones — preserving completed

    /// Heterogeneous dispatch pool (ticket `heterogeneous-dispatch-pool`,
    /// KRZ-303; the positioning ADR's 2026-07-31 boundary gloss): run ONE
    /// unit of work (this feature) on all N configured `workerCandidates`
    /// backends concurrently — one git worktree per stream, reusing the M3
    /// wall-clock idiom — record every output as a SIBLING CANDIDATE tied to
    /// the unit, then park the milestone for the human judgement act.
    ///
    /// The ticket's three freeze properties, enforced HERE (not just
    /// documented):
    ///
    /// 1. CANDIDATES FOR JUDGEMENT, NEVER A WINNER. This path calls
    ///    `judge_worker_run` NOWHERE and emits no `feature.completed`: there
    ///    is no code path that selects, ranks, or merges a candidate. Every
    ///    stream gets its own run record ([`CandidateLink`]ed to the unit and
    ///    its sibling set) and its own branch
    ///    (`kranz/pool/<mission>/<feature>-c<i>`, KEPT — the branches ARE the
    ///    candidate deliverables the later judgement act inspects). The
    ///    unit's milestone is then BLOCKED: without a judgement surface (the
    ///    divergence follow-up ticket) the only honest terminal posture is to
    ///    park for a human.
    /// 2. DIVERGENCE FOR SCRUTINY, NEVER THROUGHPUT. The N streams all run
    ///    the SAME unit; nothing here fans out distinct work to go faster,
    ///    and a candidate whose backend is unavailable fails its own stream
    ///    loudly ([`Self::select_pool_candidate`] has no claude fallback)
    ///    rather than silently duplicating a sibling's backend.
    /// 3. COST MULTIPLIER IN CONSENT. `cost::estimate` multiplies worker runs
    ///    by N and plan.md's dispatch-pool section names N; each stream keeps
    ///    the per-run `maxBudgetUsd` cap, so worst-case spend is N × cap and
    ///    the approved estimate prices exactly that sum.
    ///
    /// Single-writer discipline mirrors the M3 batch: Phase A (serial,
    /// engine-owned writer) emits `feature.started` and forks the worktrees;
    /// Phase B (concurrent, no log access) runs the N sessions via a JoinSet,
    /// each BUFFERING its event kinds; Phase C (serial, candidate order)
    /// replays each stream's kinds through `emit`, stamping the
    /// [`CandidateLink`] onto its `worker.spawned`.
    ///
    /// FAILURE ISOLATION: one stream failing (backend-unavailable selection
    /// error, session spawn/run error, task panic) does NOT abort its
    /// siblings — every stream's terminal state is recorded in the pool
    /// decision's detail, and a run record exists for every stream that
    /// started. A stream that never started gets NO synthetic run record
    /// (fabricating one would be dishonest — no session, no transcript); its
    /// terminal state lives in the decision detail.
    ///
    /// NO respawn loop and no dirty-tree orchestrator turn: the sequential
    /// path's judgement-driven machinery is exactly the winner-selection the
    /// freeze forbids here. Per-worktree dirty trees are checkpoint-committed
    /// onto the candidate branch (M3 idiom) so every candidate's deliverable
    /// is its branch HEAD; a secret-scan refusal is recorded in the decision
    /// detail and that candidate's leftovers are discarded with its worktree.
    ///
    /// RE-DISPATCH GUARD: a feature that already has candidate-linked runs is
    /// NEVER fanned out again silently (each dispatch is N paid sessions) —
    /// the guard re-blocks the milestone with the same judgement-pending
    /// reason, which is also the crash-resume posture (a half-recorded

    //
    // HONEST SCOPE (documented deliberately):
    //
    // * Gated behind `max_parallel_workers > 1`. With the default (1) NONE of
    //   this code runs and the sequential loop is byte-for-byte unchanged.
    // * Only NOT-YET-STARTED, Pending, PLAN-origin features are eligible.
    //   Fix-origin features, respawn candidates (Active), and everything after
    //   the first parallel batch fall through to the sequential path — the
    //   respawn/dirty-tree/judgement machinery there is the tested core and is
    //   never duplicated here.
    // * One orchestrator decision turn marks the INDEPENDENT subset and the
    //   MERGE ORDER (lenient parse + one retry + conservative default =
    //   all-sequential, i.e. no parallel batch). At most N run concurrently.
    // * Each independent feature runs its worker IN ITS OWN GIT WORKTREE on a
    //   per-feature branch off the milestone-start sha (real filesystem
    //   isolation). Branches merge into the mission branch SEQUENTIALLY in the
    //   declared order via merge_no_ff.
    // * CONFLICT HANDLING — the SAFE subset: a conflicting merge is aborted
    //   (git leaves a clean tree) and the feature is FAILED with a clear
    //   reason. Synthesizing a conflict-resolution fix-feature was judged too
    //   risky to land safely against the current event set (it would have to
    //   reopen a milestone mid-batch and thread both worktrees' reports), so it
    //   is deferred; see contractChangeRequest.
    // * A cleanup GUARD removes every per-feature worktree and its branch at
    //   the end of the batch — success or failure, panic or early return — so
    //   no worktree is ever leaked.
    // * The event log stays single-writer AND the N worker claude sessions
    //   OVERLAP in wall-clock (roadmap M3 "done when"). The batch runs in three
    //   phases (see run_parallel_batch_inner): Phase A emits feature.started +
    //   forks worktrees serially; Phase B runs all N worker sessions CONCURRENTLY
    //   via a JoinSet, each BUFFERING its event kinds (run_worker_in_buffered)
    //   and touching no log; Phase C replays each worker's buffered kinds through
    //   the engine's single-writer emit, then judges + merges, serially, in the
    //   declared order. Only the engine ever appends (Phases A/C are &mut self,
    //   one at a time; Phase B appends nothing), so seq stays monotonic and
    //   contiguous while the sessions themselves ran at the same time. The peak
    //   wall-clock overlap is recorded in the batch summary decision.
