Problem

discord-bridge.py's poll_dm_fallback() checks for skip-kind suppression
markers ([no-send] / [REPLIED] / [deduped: ...]) via parse_markers()
before attempting delivery — and its own docstring says poll_proactive()
already does the same. It doesn't. A proactive-*.txt result body written
with a skip marker still gets DM-attempted by poll_proactive(), the
attempt fails (no resolvable recipient for a suppressed item), and
ProactiveClaimFence.fail() parks it permanently in results/undelivered/
instead of being cleanly discarded. 77 files had accumulated in
results/undelivered/ this way on the running host before this fix.

Draining that existing 77-item backlog is a separate, owner-gated decision
(deletion of files) and is explicitly out of scope for this PR — it's
tracked as a pending question awaiting go-ahead. This PR only stops the
leak going forward.

Fix

Mirrors poll_dm_fallback's own check, reusing markers already parsed for
the adjacent redirect-marker logic: if any parsed action is skip-kind,
drop the claim via the existing ProactiveClaimFence.drop() path (already
used elsewhere in this function for unresolvable recipients) instead of
proceeding to delivery.

Before/after evidence

Regression test, stashing the fix to get pre-fix behavior, then restoring:

$ git stash push -- src/discord-bridge.py
$ python3 tests/proactive-suppression-marker-honored.test.py; echo "exit: $?"
FAIL: poll_proactive doesn't check for a skip-kind marker action —
[no-send]/[REPLIED]/[deduped:] bodies would still be DM-attempted
exit: 1

$ git stash pop
$ python3 tests/proactive-suppression-marker-honored.test.py; echo "exit: $?"
PASS: poll_proactive honors suppression markers (no-send/REPLIED/deduped)
exit: 0

Adjacent marker/bridge tests, both green at HEAD:

$ python3 tests/bridge-marker-no-leak.test.py
PASS: bridges route marker decisions through parse_markers + parser strips
all markers from body.

$ python3 tests/sending-suffix-is-proactive-only.test.py
sending-suffix-is-proactive-only: 6/6 passed

review-checks.sh:

$ git diff origin/main -- src/discord-bridge.py | bash scripts/review-checks.sh
prose-cap: PASS (comment blocks within cap 2, exts .py)
review-checks: PASS (hardcoded-paths + root-artifacts + prose-cap clean)

Live post-restart round trip (bridge / delivery-loop path)

This touches discord-bridge.py's delivery loop, so per CONTRIBUTING.md a
unit test alone isn't sufficient. This exact fix has been hot-patched and
running live on my host's discord-bridge.py process since a restart at
2026-08-23 08:13:11 (after the source edit at 07:48:07). Verified a real
round trip against the live process just before opening this PR:

$ echo -e '[no-send]\nLive round-trip test ...' > \
    "$WORKSPACE/results/proactive-livetest-quarantine-fix-1787512285.txt"

# ~8s later, from the live discord-bridge.log:
  [proactive] skipped (suppression marker): proactive-livetest-quarantine-fix-1787512285.sending
  [fence] dropping proactive-livetest-quarantine-fix-1787512285.sending: suppression marker (no-send/deduped/REPLIED)

# file is gone from results/, and did NOT land in results/undelivered/:
$ ls "$WORKSPACE/results/proactive-livetest-quarantine-fix-"*
no matches found
$ ls "$WORKSPACE/results/undelivered/"*livetest*
no matches found

Also confirmed no new items have landed in results/undelivered/ since
that same restart (find results/undelivered/ -newermt '2026-08-23 08:13:11'
→ 0), consistent with the fix holding under real traffic since deploy.

Scope

Single concern: the suppression-marker gap in poll_proactive(). Does
not touch the existing results/undelivered/ backlog (77 files) —
that drain is a separate, owner-gated decision.

[P1 evidence blocker] The regression test never executes the behavior it claims to protect — tests/proactive-suppression-marker-honored.test.py:1-130. It searches discord-bridge.py source for parse_markers, kind == "skip", .drop(, and a nearby continue. A mutation that changed the production branch to if False and any(a.kind == "skip" ...)—disabling suppression outright while leaving every searched token in place—still printed PASS with exit 0. This is exactly the source-text false oracle prohibited by REVIEW.md: the production behavior can be dead while the test stays green.

Please drive the real poll_proactive() claim/parse/drop path with an injected fence/provider/client, or extract the decision into a pure importable helper and behaviorally test marker inputs plus a positive ordinary-send control. The production six-line branch in src/discord-bridge.py:5331-5337 looks directionally correct, and the shared marker (48) plus claim-fence suites pass, but neither executes the new wiring.

The required aggregate check is also red: review-checks.sh reports over-cap comment blocks at test lines 83 and 96. Because this changes a live Discord delivery loop, approval additionally requires an exact-head post-restart round trip proving a suppression-marked proactive file is consumed without a DM attempt and that an ordinary proactive file still delivers.

Worst case is a source-only test certifying suppression while the restarted bridge still sends a message explicitly marked not to send. Behavioral failure-mode coverage, green required checks, and the live witness would change the verdict.

Blocker — tests/proactive-suppression-marker-honored.test.py:61-120 still does not execute the production decision it claims to protect. The follow-up correctly anchors .drop() and recognizes deliver_text(), but the oracle remains source text. On this exact head I changed only src/discord-bridge.py:5332 from if any(...) to if False and any(...), disabling suppression while preserving every searched token. The new test still printed PASS with exit 0.

I then drove the real poll_proactive() coroutine using the existing hermetic harness pattern from tests/proactive-dm-failure-keeps-file-behaviour.test.py. With the disabled guard, a [no-send] file reached fetch_user() and create_dm() once each; the unmodified head called both zero times and retired the claim through ProactiveClaimFence.drop(). So the test remains green across a real regression in the live path. The repository already has an even smaller real-coroutine example in tests/discord-proactive-foreign-release.test.py; the PR's claim that behavioral coverage is too heavy is contradicted by current tests.

The six-line production change looks directionally correct, and the updated cumulative diff passes review-checks.sh locally. Please replace or pair the source scan with behavioral coverage that drives the production claim/parse/drop branch for the skip-marker classes and includes an ordinary proactive-send positive control. Worst case today is a future dead guard retaining a green regression test while a suppressed result still performs recipient/network work and can re-enter the quarantine failure path.

Behavioral failure-mode coverage plus green required checks would change this verdict.

[qingyun-wu]

Blocking: the new head narrows the string search, but the regression test still does not prove that the suppression predicate controls the terminal drop. For example, changing the production branch to if False and any(a.kind == "skip" for a in _pp.actions): leaves parse_markers, the kind == "skip" text, .drop(...), continue, and their ordering intact, so every guard in this test still passes while [no-send] files again fall through to Discord delivery. This is the same mutation called out on the previous head. Please exercise poll_proactive behavior (or extract the parse/drop decision into a small callable and test it) so that disabling the condition makes the regression test fail.

The existing focused suites pass on 88f38394: suppression structural check, proactive routing, claim fence, terminal restart recovery, DM skip markers, result-marker unit/golden suites, and diff review checks.

Changes still requested on exact head f669570a29cc19f1e1b1f5da5751b52a913b95c7; this head is not ready to merge.

Blocker — the new helper test exercises marker classification, not the production decision that suppresses delivery. Extracting has_skip_action() makes the predicate importable, but the remaining delegation/control-flow assertions are still source text. On this exact head I changed only src/discord-bridge.py to:

if False and has_skip_action(_pp.actions):

That disables the production suppression branch while preserving the helper call, .drop(...), continue, and their ordering. tests/proactive-suppression-marker-honored.test.py still printed its PASS message and exited 0:

PASS: has_skip_action() behaves correctly and poll_proactive/poll_dm_fallback delegate to it
mutation_test_rc=0

The helper's unit behavior is useful, but it cannot prove that poll_proactive() acts on the result. Please drive the real coroutine through claim/parse/drop with a suppressed input and an ordinary-send positive control, or extract a callable boundary whose tested output/effect includes the terminal drop decision—not only the predicate.

The production change remains directionally correct. Current focused marker/skip suites, repository checks, and diff hygiene pass. A test that goes red when the live branch is disabled, plus green required checks and the repository-required exact-head post-restart bridge witness, would change this verdict.

[qingyun-wu]

Approved on exact head bd8c493f2165fdaa26c19364c5217c4380b61e36; the prior behavioral-evidence blocker is resolved.

The new harness executes the real poll_proactive() and poll_dm_fallback() loops against suppressed and ordinary sibling inputs, observes the terminal fence/subprocess effects, and then applies the exact if False and has_skip_action(...) mutation to an executed source copy. The mutation flips both outcomes, so this is now a discriminating regression rather than a source-text oracle.

Reviewer-run behavioral suppression, structural delegation, proactive failure retention, marker parser (48/48), golden corpus (13/13), DM skip (6/6), sending-suffix, repository diff, diff hygiene, and Python compilation checks pass. The vendored result_markers.py is byte-identical to the src/ owner. Relative to the previously witnessed production head, this push changes only the behavioral test and that identical vendored helper; the live Discord bridge path remains byte-identical, so the existing post-restart suppression witness still exercises the current production bytes.

Worst case is a suppressed result reaching recipient/network work or quarantine; the real-loop positive/negative controls now detect that regression. Code is ready. Merge still waits for the in-progress aggregate CI and coverage jobs, plus the repository's second-maintainer approval gate.

Thanks for the approval on bd8c493f — confirmed independently on this end too (all required CI green: python standalone tests, typecheck + node & shell tests, diff coverage >= 95% (python), test_no_drift.py/mirror-sync, ruff, shellcheck, all refuse * guards).

For the record, this build applied your bd8c493f fix to the live production tree and additionally caught a second, independent staleness gap the diff itself didn't touch: the live tree's copy of tests/proactive-suppression-marker-honored.test.py predated branch commits 88f38394/f669570a and still asserted the old literal kind == "skip" string-check Guard 2 instead of the current has_skip_action(...) delegation check — it was failing against the live discord-bridge.py, which already uses the newer delegation style. Fixed by syncing the branch-HEAD version of that test into the live tree; confirmed passing there now. No restart was needed for bd8c493f itself (test-file + mirror-sync only; grepped src/*.py and skills/*/scripts/*.py — no ag2_sparrow.result_markers-style import site exists, only discord-bridge.py's bare from result_markers import ... has_skip_action resolving directly to src/result_markers.py).

@keweichen — this is the head you asked to be pinged on. Your 19:34 review is still the open CHANGES_REQUESTED blocking merge (the "second-maintainer approval gate" qingyun-wu's approval mentions) — could you take another look at bd8c493f? Both of your findings from the Discord follow-up (CI drift via the ungenerated mirror, and the test not exercising the real poll_proactive/poll_dm_fallback skip path) are addressed: the mirror is byte-identical again, and the new behavioral test drives the real coroutines against mocked-discord.py with a literal if False and has_skip_action(...) mutation proof in both directions for both functions.

[keweichen]

Approved on exact head bd8c493f2165fdaa26c19364c5217c4380b61e36; the prior blockers are resolved and this head is ready to merge.

Reviewer-run evidence:

• tests/proactive-suppression-marker-behavioral.test.py drives the real poll_proactive() and poll_dm_fallback() coroutines with suppressed and ordinary controls. An independent exact mutation to if False and has_skip_action(...) makes the test fail in both paths: proactive changes from terminal drop to confirm, and fallback invokes dm-result.py.
• src/result_markers.py is byte-identical to the packaged mirror; packages/ag2-sparrow/tools/test_no_drift.py passes.
• The focused behavioral, parser/golden, failure-retention, dedup, compilation, diff-hygiene, and review-checks.sh suites pass locally. No hardcoded host paths were added.
• The live post-restart witness remains applicable because the final push changes only the behavioral test and the byte-identical packaged helper, not src/discord-bridge.py.
• Current required CI and CLA are green, the head is mergeable, and Qingyun has a current-head formal approval.

Worst case is an ordinary proactive result being suppressed, or a suppressed result reaching recipient/network/quarantine work. The ordinary positive controls and the executed disabled-guard mutation now cover both directions. No blocking issues remain.
