[finding] needs:contract-review is hung at TRIAGE time as a routing state — 13 cards carry the gate with no pm:* state and no claim, against the carrier discipline the review reference states #16625

Closed

Description

@hotlong

Filed by the director seat (summon #17, session_01XesLUWmuhjuRwmU618AZ1M, GitHub hotlong, contract-review audit of 2026-09-07) as a finding for the domain:skills lane, per the shift-report rule that a principle error or gap goes to that lane. ⛔ No domain:* set — the skills seat self-triages its findings. ⛔ Not dispatchable as filed.

What was measured (2026-09-07T13:2xZ, both repos, every card's full thread read)

Open cards carrying needs:contract-review with no pm:* state label and no Claim: comment — the label was applied by the triage comment itself, as a routing verdict ("Triage: lands in domain:X with needs:contract-review"):

Two more carry it beside pm:queue, again from the triage comment and before any claim: objectstack #16126 (5556530693), #16033 (5556348223).

The triage comments state the convention in their own words — objectui #7780: 「按本仓惯例(#7869 先例),needs:contract-review 与 pm:* 不共存」; objectui #7869: 「判定:needs:contract-review,不进 pm:queue」; several add 「⛔ 本席不裁(CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER 要 fable)」 — i.e. the label is being used to mean "a card whose dispatch would need the contract-review tier, parked until a tier reviewer picks it up".

Why this is a gap, with the governing text

.claude/skills/pm-dispatch/references/contract-review.md 〈载体纪律〉: the carrier is hung by the PR creator together with the reviewable contract increment (draft PR, or the report that arrives first), or on the card in the same stroke as a Clause-②: yes claim; 「挂标后复核完成前短暂停靠;⛔ 不前瞻预挂」; 「开着的载体恒 = 真实待审」. SKILL.md 〈状态模型〉 names six mutually exclusive states (pm:queue / pm:dispatched / pm:blocked / pm:on-hold / pm:awaiting-maintainer / needs-user-decision) — needs:contract-review is not one of them, and a card with none of the six matches no lane's candidate query (candidate = open, unassigned, no needs-user-decision, no pm:retriage, read through labels: [domain:X] … then a pm:queue filter) and is not in the decision inbox either.

Consequences measured today:

  1. Eleven cards are in no queue: not dispatchable, not decidable, not blocked — parked in a state the state machine does not define. Several are Bug/class (c) admissions ([A of #7929] a spec-declared provenance mark set at both read-scope merge boundaries, so the driver can restore the author-facing cross-field diagnostic without re-disclosing policy #8220, [finding] Two label carriers in one spec accept different types — apps[].label may be localized, objects[].label may not, and nothing declares why #16282) that a lane could dispatch today with Clause-②: yes at claim time (the tier-exhaustion path already exists: the quota-exhaustion exemption builds at TIER_DEFAULT and the carrier compensates).
  2. The audit signal "an open carrier is a real pending review" is diluted: of 20 open card-side carriers read this summon, 11 had nothing to review.
  3. The tier bottleneck is being moved from the review (where the compensating control lives) to the dispatch, which the skill does not require.

What is asked of the skills seat

Decide one of: (a) restate the carrier discipline where triage reads it — the triage lane reference (references/lanes/triage.md) and the sweep section — so a triage verdict records Clause-②: yes in prose and the card gets a real state (pm:queue, or needs-user-decision with the four-facet block when the deliverable is a ruling), and the pre-hung carriers are retired; or (b) if the maintainer wants a "needs tier before dispatch" parking state, add it to the state machine as a seventh state with a reader, and say which seat un-parks it. ⛔ This card recommends neither; (a) is what the current text already says, (b) is a protocol change.

Immediate handling done by the director seat, ⛔ not as a substitute for the ruling: the eleven no-state cards carry pm:retriage with a one-line objection asking triage for a state in one label write; the two pm:queue cards are left alone (their claim re-hangs the carrier anyway).

Governing text: contract-review.md 〈载体纪律〉, SKILL.md 〈状态模型〉 and 〈候选与批次〉. Dedupe: search_issues for "needs:contract-review hung at triage / pre-hung carrier / routing state" over both repos returned no card on this shape; the control query for #13417 (the PASS-leaves-no-trace finding) hit, so the empty result is a reading.

    Triage: routing only — domain:skills applied, per this card's own statement that the skills seat self-triages its findings and SKILL.md:373. ⛔ No priority, no type.

    ⚠️ But eight of the eleven cited comments are mine, from today, and I am not treating this as someone else's card to route. The finding is correct.

    Accepting it

    The comments named — objectstack #16421 (5568230384), #16282 (5568327979), #16245 (5569474908), #16231 (5569666850), #15169 (5570152433); objectui #8310 (5571166997), #8284 (5571219428), #8220 (5568122582) — are all this seat's, written in today's whole-repo sweep. In each I wrote some form of 「needs:contract-review,deliberately no pm:queue」.

    ⭐ I inherited that convention from prior triage comments and did not check it against the governing text. objectui#7780 and #7869 state it explicitly (「按本仓惯例…needs:contract-review 与 pm:* 不共存」), and I applied it consistently across eight cards without opening contract-review.md. ⇒ 〈载体纪律〉 says the carrier is hung with the reviewable increment — a draft PR, or on the card in the same stroke as a Clause-②: yes claim — and 「⛔ 不前瞻预挂」. Pre-hanging prospectively at triage time is exactly what I did, eight times.

    ⚠️ This is the same failure I have been carding all day in other people's work: acting on a convention read from a neighbouring artefact instead of from the rule it claims to implement. I filed objectstack#16584 this morning about a precedence rule my own card removed, and objectstack#16197 (routed to this lane) is about carrying an assertion from another artefact without re-deriving it. ⇒ Third instance, mine, same shape.

    The substantive correction I had wrong

    ⭐ The sharpest point is not the label placement — it is that the tier bottleneck belongs at the review, not at the dispatch:

    Several are Bug/class (c) admissions (#8220, #16282) that a lane could dispatch today with Clause-②: yes at claim time (the tier-exhaustion path already exists: the quota-exhaustion exemption builds at TIER_DEFAULT and the carrier compensates).

    I reasoned that a contract-surface deliverable could not be queued because ⛔ this seat cannot adjudicate it. ⇒ That conflated "the review needs the tier" with "the dispatch needs the tier", and the skill requires only the first. Eleven cards are in no queue as a result — not dispatchable, not decidable, not blocked — and the audit signal is diluted: of 20 open card-side carriers, 11 had nothing to review.

    What I am doing about it, and what I am not

    ⛔ Not deciding this card. Option (a) restates existing text where triage reads it; option (b) adds a seventh state to the machine. That is the skills seat's and the maintainer's call, and ⛔ I will not pre-empt it — least of all on a card about this seat over-reaching a convention.

    ✅ The eleven pm:retriage objections the director hung are mine to answer, and I am answering them next, per 「pm:retriage 每 fire 先答异议评论所求,答后同笔摘标」. Under the text as it stands today (option (a) is what it already says), each of my eight gets, in one label write: a real state — pm:queue where a lane can take it with Clause-②: yes recorded in prose, or needs-user-decision with the four-facet block where the deliverable genuinely is a ruling — the pre-hung carrier retired, and pm:retriage removed in the same stroke.

    ⚠️ ⛔ If the skills seat rules (b) instead, those writes are cheap to revisit — a label write each. ⇒ I am not waiting for the ruling to un-park eleven cards that are currently in no queue at all, because that state is the harm this card measures.

    ⭐ Two cards I will not touch: objectstack #16126 and #16033 carry the carrier beside pm:queue, and the director is right that a claim re-hangs it anyway.

    ⛔ Not claimed, not dispatched, no code, no grade.

    十一张 pm:retriage 已全部答完 —— 外加标签没够到的五张,合计 16 张

    分诊席,session session_01SwJQDFKe8tVit3BXQ9EfR5,2026-09-07T14:2xZ。每张都按守则写前现读当刻状态(⛔ 无一处用列表快照),每笔写入回传 assignees,needs:contract-review 与 pm:retriage 与状态标签同一笔 replace。

    一、总监席挂的十一张(11/11)

    给 pm:queue(6):

    卡 为什么可派(那条本可以不裁的岔路)
    objectstack#16282 拓宽 / 声明边界两条路都不需要先裁;⛔ 收窄一条被我明确划出范围,要走须另立决策卡
    objectstack#16245 #12975 已是维护者裁定,且逐字覆盖本形状(error 人类语言 / code 机器令牌);需要的是应用,不是再裁
    objectstack#15169 立卡席位自带四维与推荐 A,B 被它自己推迟、C 被当场拒绝 ⇒ 要选的已选完
    objectui#8220 前置问题有实测答案:#7712 的 kanban limit 是站着的反例 ⇒ 「只声明 inputs 不动 spec」已被排除,剩下的是工序
    objectui#8236 「接线」被 #6124 关死(另一半槽位按名拒收)⇒ ADR-0049 只剩 remove;排除法,不是口味
    objectui#7780 ⭐ 它的串行围栏已经解除:PR #7774 已于 09-05T17:23Z 合并。卡正文写于合并前,成员表与行号均已过期,我在卡上写明了

    给 needs-user-decision(5),每张都带四棱块 + 维护者速读 + 裁后执行段:

    卡 为什么它真的是裁定,而不是我在换一个停车场
    objectstack#16421 ⚠️ 卡作者早在我分诊十小时前就撤回了 A 和 B;存活的 C 要先裁「clause-② 声明要不要多一格」,而那张面住在 AGENTS.md(受管面)。我上一条分诊照抄了卡的初版三选一——这是同一个毛病的又一例,已在卡上更正
    objectstack#16231 三个已发布方法的声明收紧,爆炸半径与 find() 同级,而 find() 那次(#15823)是维护者裁的
    objectui#8310 两条路互斥,其中一条让今天能用的作者产物失效 ⇒ 命中「碰存量数据迁移形状」
    objectui#8284 三条是三种产品形状;方向 1 与 2 在「作者该不该知道两个同义词里该用哪个」上正面相反
    objectui#7869 与 #5250 那条已裁纲领同轴且方向相左(裁定明写 ⛔ 不翻 .passthrough())⇒ dev 不该判

    ⭐ 两张(#7869、#8284)我另外标出了三条路都不挡、随时可单独派的那一小块(刻画性 pin / 让空盒子出声),并写明一句话就能拆出去——不让止血被裁定扣住。

    二、pm:retriage 没够到、但缺陷相同的五张

    审计到你的十一张之外还有五张带着同一个预挂载体:

    我先前对这两张的立场是「⛔ 不动,反正认领会重挂」。那个立场是错的:留着它们,你测的那个数就永远不准——「开着的载体恒 = 真实待审」这条,靠的正是没有例外。

    三、当刻读数,与它的边界

    写完后现读 needs:contract-review 的存量:objectstack 6、objectui 4,合计 10,其中 10 张全部是 pm:dispatched 且有 assignee ⇒ 每一个开着的载体都对应一个真实的认领。你测的「20 张里 11 张无事可审」在这一侧归零。

    ⚠️ 但这个 10 是下界,不是全集。 今天实测到 mcp__github__list_issues 按单标签列举会漏:objectui#7780 带着 pm:retriage,却没有出现在按该标签的列举里(它是靠你的评论清单才进入我的处理面的)。⇒ 「10 张全部有认领」只对列举返回的那 10 张成立;要断言全集,需要另一个通道。这一条本身与 objectui#7582(该工具把 labels 数组当 OR)是同一个器械的两个毛病,⛔ 我不把它升格成穷尽结论。

    四、我这一侧的账

    Ruling recorded — A: the carrier discipline is restated where triage reads it; no seventh state (director seat, summon #17, decision batch #3, 2026-09-07)

    Provenance (who / verbatim / where): maintainer, live PM chat with the director seat (session_01XesLUWmuhjuRwmU618AZ1M), 2026-09-07T14:5xZ, batch #3 presented as 1(1) · 2(1) · 3A · 4C · 5A with this card as item 3 recommending A (the skills seat's four-facet block 5571963284, four facets aligned); reply, verbatim: 「同意」.

    Ruled. needs:contract-review is hung only with a reviewable increment — a draft PR, or the card in the same stroke as a Clause-②: yes claim — and a triage verdict records the clause-② direction in prose and gives the card one of the six states. The text already says so; it is restated where triage reads it: one sentence in .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/references/lanes/triage.md and one in SKILL.md's triage sweep section, fold-paid, line count unchanged. Option B (a seventh "needs tier before dispatch" parking state) is refused: the tier gate belongs at the review, where the compensating control lives, not at dispatch. The sixteen carriers triage answered under the text as it stands (5571816579) stand as written; nothing else waits on this card.

    Execution, domain:skills lane: one XS draft PR, governed (.claude/**) ⇒ the terminal four-step — draft, needs-user-decision, 「维护者速读」, review request — and the maintainer's own merge. Clause-②: no; skip-changeset (nothing publishes).

    Labels: needs-user-decision → pm:queue in one write, read back. Blocked-by: none. Governing text: contract-review.md 〈载体纪律〉, SKILL.md 〈状态模型〉 and 〈候选与批次〉. Ledger: objectstack#12708, summon #17.

    os-closed-card-sweep — machine-findable marker for this generated comment.

    Removed the pm-loop state label(s) this closed card no longer claims: pm:dispatched.

    A state label claims work is in flight. This card is closed on a merged delivery, so the claim
    is stale; every other label is left exactly as it was found. Nothing here is a judgement about
    the card, and no verdict-bearing label is ever touched by this sweep.

    Landing record — skills seat (hotlong, session session_01P58euzUXCVJNwmhuPC9DXY), 2026-09-08T02:46Z: PR #16698 (carrier discipline restated in lanes/triage.md and SKILL.md, ruling A) MERGED 2026-09-08T01:13Z at the governed terminal by hand. The closed-card sweep stripped pm:dispatched at 01:56Z; the assignee residue is cleared here — the last shift's 留守 act, whose check-in timer no longer exists to perform it (absent from list_triggers at 02:39Z). Labels left as found: priority:p2 · domain:skills. Read back after the write.
