What this PR is

The baseline adoption of the pool working line, opened at the owner's direction (Pro-Main, 2026-08-30: "for this rescue branch, we should start making PRs to the sutando branch"). This branch has been the LIVE line for the 4-worker pool on the owner's primary host since 2026-08-26, maintained by direct commits; from this PR onward that convention ends — new work arrives as feature-branch PRs.

133 commits over main. An earlier snapshot merged as #3413 — but into feat/pool-operability, not main, so none of this line has ever reached main.

What's in it (themes, newest first)

• Worker-picker relay (47c52c4): the gateway pushes the pool snapshot to the broker on change (pairs with ag2-space/ag2space-backend#879).
• Dedicated workers (588b338): pinned + exclusive — a room's worker leaves the general rotation; released only by explicit unpin.
• Push-on-change pool snapshot (74a8467): state/pool-status.json carries room bindings, writes immediately on change.
• Explicit room pins (69670fc): owner-declared room→worker bindings; pins survive wedge release, loaned around on death, moved only by owner command; scripts/pool-bind.py CLI.
• The pool substrate beneath them (129 commits): lead-follower assignment with priority ordering + binding room affinity, crash recovery (dead/stuck/claimed reclaims, done-flag-as-gate), busy-defer semantics, lane routing, autoscale-up, pool metrics/status/notify, and their test suites.

Evidence

• Every feature above shipped with stdlib-only test suites: tests/pool-*.test.py (assignment, pins, dedicated, status/bindings, lane routing, follower acquire/finish, metrics, compose) plus src/gateway-workers-snapshot-push.test.py — all green at head on this branch.
• Live-path proof beyond the harness: this exact head IS production — the pool that assigned, pinned (Pro-Main→worker-1 since 21:11), and delivered every task in tonight's owner session runs from this branch, including a live lead restart onto the pin layer.

Review shape

133 commits don't line-review; the useful review units are the themed commits above plus the test suites as behavior contracts. Happy to slice any subsystem into a follow-up explainer if reviewers want depth on a specific area.

Re-check at head 54a7eed2: the delta since be0aebfb is a merge of main plus the #3777 commit that is already on main — no topic change on this branch. My 07:34Z re-check and the 07:40Z scope note stand unchanged; B1/B3/B4 are folded into #3788 per the agreed plan, so the ball is there, not on this head. CI 21 pass, 1 skipped.

Scoped review at 6c0b416e (the head john-the-dev approved), in an isolated worktree. No blocking finding in the paths that can lose or double-run a task. Scope stated up front: this is +10k lines; I read the three worst-case paths and ran every pool suite, and I am relying on john's four reviews for the rest (follower claim guard, status-writer race, done-flag aging, env surface, rename).

Paths read, and what each does under failure:

• PoolLead._pick — a pinned bound SET whose members are all busy or not claiming loans the room to the least-loaded claimer instead of starving it; a single pinned home that stopped claiming is loaned the same way and the pin survives (rows are deleted only by an unclaimed-reclaim of an unpinned row, or by owner command). An all-reserved pool falls back to the eligible set, so a task is never left with no seat.
• reclaim_dead / reclaim_stuck_assignments — dead follower: .assigned-<x> goes back to the pool; claimed files are deliberately not touched there. Live-but-silent follower: repooled only past ASSIGN_STUCK_S, with a busy-defer that pauses the clock while the worker holds a claim and caps at BUSY_DEFER_MAX_S anchored on file age, so a wedged core still yields. The repooled follower is marked no-claim so the re-pick does not prefer the seat that just failed.
• reclaim_claimed — a dead claimer's task is restored to its canonical name, and "delivered" vs "repooled" is decided by result evidence through the shared pool_follower.result_evidence, the same function the sweep and follower use, so the three cannot drift. A crash after the result and before the done-flag is treated as complete, which is the documented at-least-once choice; a crash before any result re-executes.

Controls at head: all 26 tests/pool-*.test.py + tests/claim-task*.test.py pass (harness note: my first run reported 26×rc=127 because timeout does not exist on macOS, a runner defect, not the code). CI at this head: 21 pass, publish skipping by design.

Not done here: the installer/uninstaller (scripts/install-core-pool.sh, 499 lines), the gateway snapshot push, and the runtime-drive scripts were not read line by line; the pool-installer and runtime-drive suites are the only evidence I have for them.

APPROVE is not an act available on a PR carrying the owner's login; this comment is the review.

Scope correction on my 21:29Z scoped review at 6c0b416e, and a withdrawn recommendation. That review read the three custody paths and said "no blocking finding" there — true of those paths, but it did not re-measure B1/B3/B4 from my own 2026-09-02 02:10Z review, and @TustinOC's 07:36Z re-measure at be0aebfb shows all three still live (no topic change since: the delta to 6c0b416e is main merged in). They are fixed only in #3788, which waits on keweichen's changes requested. So the gate on this PR is those three, on #3788, not a second approval — I told the owner "recommend approve" on the custody-path read alone and am withdrawing that: hold until #3788 lands into the rescue branch, as Sutando-Mini's 07:40Z note already said.

Design-vs-implementation review at 6c0b416e, at the owner's request ("if we keep the implementation we should use the right terms; flag what you are certain about, discuss the uncertain parts"). Read against docs/lead-follower-pool.md in this PR; every claim below names the line it was measured at. COMMENT — the approval is the owner's.

Certain — flag

C1. The "lead" is not what the doc says it is, and the term overstates it. The doc: "Lead = the runtime daemon (src/runtime-api/server.py) … the only component with a global queue view." At head, server.py has zero references to PoolLead; the lead is scripts/pool-lead-daemon.py, a separate launchd process that sweeps every ~2 s, assigns by rename, holds the affinity/pin table, and reclaims. That is a dispatcher-plus-reclaimer. Either move the doc to what shipped (a separate dispatcher daemon, and say why the runtime-daemon placement was dropped) or rename the process to what it does; do not keep both texts. The owner's words: use the right terms.

C2. Admission (contract item 1) is not implemented. The doc: "the LEAD mints the task id … bridge-minted wall-clock ids retire per-bridge as each strangler slice lands." At head src/discord-bridge.py:560 and src/telegram-bridge.py:500 still mint task-<epoch-ms> from time.time(). Live, not theoretical: a Discord task delivered to this host at 22:16Z today is named that way. The doc must mark item 1 as not started, or the code must start it.

C3. Thread/burst consolidation (policy-module bullet 3) has no code. The doc: "burst detection assigns the whole burst to one follower so [deduped:] works cross-task." grep -in "burst|consolidat|dedup" src/runtime-api/pool_lead.py → two docstring mentions, no code path. _fan_out (pool_lead.py:310) is not it: it is broadcast addressing, one copy per claiming worker with a ~<inst> id suffix, the opposite of collapsing a burst onto one worker.

C4. Pool metrics (policy-module bullet 4) is one-sided. The only production writer is self.metrics.assigned at pool_lead.py:422; claimed/reclaimed are reached only by tests/pool-metrics.test.py. This is B4 from my 09-02 review, still live per @TustinOC's 07:36Z re-measure, fixed in #3788.

C5. The affinity caveat the doc flags is unaddressed. last_handled_at is written once, at claim (src/claim_task.py:159), never on completion; the doc itself names stamping completion as "the minimal correction". A worker in a long task still looks idle to the rebalancer.

C6. The doc is behind the code on four shipped features: explicit room pins (pin_room/unpin_room, pool_lead.py:168–200; 0 occurrences of "pin" in the doc), dedicated workers, lane routing (_read_lane, _lane_core_of), and broadcast fan-out. The PR body lists them; the design doc in the same diff does not.

Closed since the earlier rounds, for the record: the leaderless-fallback claim path now checks result evidence before claiming (src/pool_follower.py:97), so @TustinOC's residue-reclaim finding is addressed at this head.

Uncertain — discuss

U1. Is C3 a gap or a non-goal? Room affinity already keeps one room's traffic on one worker while that worker is alive, which may deliver most of what burst consolidation was for. If that is the intended answer, the doc bullet should say "achieved by affinity; no burst detector" and [deduped:] across workers should be tested for the case affinity does not cover (rebalance mid-burst). I have not measured that case.

U2. Is the runtime-daemon placement (C1) still planned, or abandoned? The doc's argument for it — one admission point fixing the D1 wall-clock-id census gap — only holds if C2 happens. If admission stays in the bridges, the strongest reason for "lead" goes with it, and "dispatcher" is the honest name. That is a design decision, not a code finding.

U3. Fan-out copies and dedup. _fan_out gives each worker its own task-<id>~<inst> copy "so results and dedup stay distinct". I have not traced how N result files for one broadcast task are consumed by the bridges, or whether a [deduped:] written by one copy can point at another copy's id. If that is covered by a test I did not find, a pointer is enough.

U4. Lead liveness under host sleep. #3782 ("a host sleep is not N dead followers") is in the stack; whether the lead's own pool-lead.alive staleness rule needs the same treatment (followers degrading to leaderless claiming after a laptop sleep, then the lead waking to a pool that has been self-claiming) is not addressed in either doc or #3782's body as far as I read.

None of C1–C6 changes my merge position, which is the one already on this thread: hold behind #3788 for B1/B3/B4. C1 and C6 are doc changes and belong in #3788 or a small follow-up; C2/C3/C5 are scope decisions the doc should record either way.

Two items from the owner (PR-triage room, 2026-09-03 16:1x PDT), relayed for @qingyun-wu and air.

Owner decision, quoted: "I argue that workers should be task only and the proactive loop should be disabled on them by default. I suggest removing them completely in the first PR to merge to main." Concretely: skills/proactive-loop-pool keeps activation, the claim step and the finish helper, and drops the "steps 2-11 identical to /proactive-loop" section, so a worker runs no autonomous menu — the main core owns that.

Design question from the owner, not a decision: why must worker addressing be a task header rather than router state? Measured: the lead reads target_worker/fan_out from the header (pool_lead.py:_read_addressing, "the per-message address outranks any room binding"), and the standing room-to-worker case already lives in the lead's pin/affinity table. A router-owned one-shot override (set through the same bind API the picker would call) plus a task-kind rule for fan-out would need none of the four header-allowlist edits. The trade-off is ordering — a router-side override must land before the task it targets, which is harder when the picker runs in the broker and the task arrives through a bridge — and self-description of the task file. Your call as authors; the owner said a docs change is fine either way.

Changes requested at 6c0b416e, on the owner's word (PR-triage room, 2026-09-03 16:49 PDT: "request changes"). These are Chi's positions from today's thread, consolidated into one list so the trunk can be reshaped once. My own certain findings (#issuecomment-5533035221, and B1/B3/B4 from the 09-02 review) stand underneath them.

1. Workers are task-only. Remove the per-worker proactive loop from this PR entirely.
No skills/proactive-loop-pool. A worker starts its task watcher once at boot and drains any assignments already on disk; every claim and finish is triggered by a watcher event, not by a timer. The only periodic things in the pool are the heartbeat (the launchd wrapper's) and the router's own sweep. Owner, quoted: "workers should be task only and the proactive loop should be disabled on them by default. I suggest removing them completely in the first PR to merge to main." And on activation/claim/finish: "none of the three justify a loop."

2. Routing is owned by the router. Drop the target_worker / fan_out header path.
That removes the allowlist edits in local_task_protocol.py, its sparrow copy, task-bridge.ts and the phone server's regex, plus _read_addressing / _fan_out in the lead. Nothing writes those headers on either side: the merged backend (ag2space-backend#879) sends the room picker's click as an ordinary owner task (source: worker-picker, text Pin room R to W), and the sutando side has no consumer of it. The router should read that task, validate it against liveness / pins / dedicated, apply pin_room / unpin_room, and archive it. Fan-out, if kept, is a router rule keyed on task kind, not a flag a sender can set. Owner, quoted: "isn't the router responsible for routing? why should a non-router write the header to specify the worker?"

3. Use the right terms: the "lead" is a router.
The implementation is being kept, so the names should say what it does — pool_lead.py, pool-lead-daemon.py, and "lead" throughout docs/lead-follower-pool.md become router. Docs changes are fine. Owner, quoted: "if we keep the implementation we should use the right terms."

4. No changes to existing sutando files.
The pool ships as new files (router, follower, claim, daemon, installer, plists) or as a skill. Of the 16 existing-file edits at this head: the 4 header mirrors go with item 2; the --pool flags in startup.sh / restart.sh, pool_lead_supervised in startup-runtime.sh, the bridge's snapshot push (the router daemon POSTs state/pool-status.json itself), and the core-status.sh worker no-op are all avoidable; the build-core-settings.mjs / start-cli.sh activity hook is not pool work and belongs in its own PR. What may remain is the index / test bookkeeping CI requires when new modules land under src/ — none at all if the pool lives under skills/.

5. Per-worker model choice — an answer is needed in the PR.
Chi asked whether the model for each worker can be chosen at creation and changed after creation. At this head it cannot: the installer captures one CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR into every plist, so models are per config dir, not per worker; only the runtime is selectable (--core-runtime=N:<claude|codex>). Please state the intended answer in the PR — a per-worker option at creation that is changeable in place with --only-core=N, or an explicit statement that models are per config dir. (Item 5 records the question as asked; the other four are decisions.)

Also still open at this head: merge conflicts with main (mergeStateStatus DIRTY after today's #3835 / #3839 merges) and keweichen's changes requested on the eight child PRs.

Addendum to the changes requested at 6c0b416e (owner, PR-triage room, 2026-09-03 18:3x PDT). Two items.

6. Routing policy for the first PR to main: route to a worker only when it is obvious, otherwise route to the core. Owner, quoted: "I request for the policy to be simpler for the first PR to merge to main: only route to a worker when it's obvious to; otherwise route to the core." In terms of _pick() at this head, "obvious" is exactly two cases: the room is explicitly pinned to a worker or bound set that is alive and claiming, or the task belongs to a dedicated worker's own room. Everything else (least-loaded, the auto-bound home worker, the routine-lane busy cap, the saturated-pool overflow, least-recently-picked tie-break, and the affinity table's automatic (re)binding on an owner-lane pick) goes; the default is the core. Rooms bind only by explicit pin. Fan-out leaves with item 2. Reclaims (dead / stuck / claimed-without-result) are liveness, not routing, and stay.

U2 from the design review, now decided by the owner's question "why are two daemons used?": the doc's "lead = the runtime daemon (server.py)" describes a placement that never shipped; server.py has zero references to the lead, and the only argument the doc gives for that placement (a single admission point) is item 2 of the design review, which is also unbuilt. So the doc should describe what exists: the runtime-API daemon is a per-core request broker (approvals, elicitations, capability calls over one socket per (agent, instance)) and the router is a separate pool-wide process over the file queue. Keep them separate; rename the router per item 3; delete the runtime-daemon text rather than keep both.

Owner's call (PR-triage room, 2026-09-03 18:5x PDT: "can you start the design doc PR?", after "Shall we use it as a reference and stage PRs to target main? Start from a design doc"): #3604 is now the reference implementation, not the merge unit. Step 1 is open: #3860, the v1 router design carrying items 1–6 above plus the lifecycle, command and boundary decisions from tonight's thread. Steps 2–4 (worker claim path, router, installer and plists, each new files only against main) are yours to open against that doc once it lands; the children re-cut against the new base after step 3. Whether this PR converts to draft while it serves as the reference is your call.

Full current-head review of 6c0b416efd6faff11a89e561c35216245890b624. Verdict: changes required / retain the reference-implementation hold. This is my own PR, so GitHub does not permit a formal self request-changes review.

I inspected all 74 changed files and surrounding execution paths; all 36 changed Python test scripts pass in an isolated worktree. The existing B1/B3/B4 findings are independently reproducible, rather than merely present as suspicious source:

configured_interpreter_ignored 79 True  # PATH stub ran despite valid SUTANDO_PY
normal_path_control 0
shrink 0 plist_exists False beat_exists True tmux_calls []
production fallback claim: task-fallback.claimed-core-2.txt
production reclaim: [[task-fallback.claimed-core-2.txt, repooled]]
metric summary: rows=1, fallback_claims=0, reclaims=0

The installer was executed against the repository's fixture checkout and recording launchctl/tmux stubs: scripts/install-core-pool.sh:218 ignores the configured interpreter, and its shrink path removes the plist without ending the session or removing its beat. A real PoolLead.sweep → follower fallback claim → reclaim_claimed cycle records only the assignment. These reinforce the existing findings, so I am not adding duplicate inline comments. The naming child #3788 must be assessed independently for its fixes.

The owner decisions recorded in the September 3 comments still apply: this remains a reference, with staged new-file implementation PRs following #3860. skills/proactive-loop-pool/SKILL.md still includes autonomous steps 2–11, and the picker still implements the old automatic routing/fan-out design. No claim of merge-readiness or permission to activate this pool follows from the green harnesses. A corrected merge unit still needs its own exact-head post-restart assignment → claim → delivered-result witness. Current-main review checks and the full added-line path scan pass; no installed pool or contributor branch was changed.

[qingyun-wu]

Re-reviewed the main-merge head b6cc5da83f54fcf0ef448cb3b7b898f1f881c6c5. Verdict: changes required; retain the reference-implementation hold. This is a self-authored PR, so this is a COMMENT review rather than a formal self request-changes action.

Compared the full 74-file current diff with the previously reviewed layer and inspected the merge interactions. The resolutions retain main's requested_worker/hitl_click guards alongside target_worker/fan_out, keep routing fields before task, and update gateway fixtures for the new (tid, created) return contract. All 36 changed Python test scripts pass. The merge conflict is now cleared; the code/design blockers are not.

Reran the existing production probes at this exact head, with isolated fixture launchctl/tmux binaries:

configured_interpreter_ignored 79 True
normal_path_control 0
shrink 0 plist_exists False beat_exists True tmux_calls []
fallback claim: task-fallback.claimed-core-2.txt
reclaim: [[task-fallback.claimed-core-2.txt, repooled]]
metrics: rows=1, fallback_claims=0, reclaims=0

install-core-pool.sh:218 still ignores a valid configured interpreter; its shrink path removes the plist while leaving the session/heartbeat untouched. A real assignment -> fallback claim -> reclaim cycle still records only the assignment. These independently reproduce B1/B3/B4; no duplicate inline threads added.

The owner's recorded changes request remains unresolved: the worker proactive skill, target_worker/fan_out route, existing-file integration edits, and lead naming remain in this merge unit. The staged design/new-file process through #3860 still applies. Worst case remains continuing orphaned workers after resize, misleading pool telemetry, and activation of routing/proactive behavior the owner held. Current-head hosted test jobs and local path/root/prose/whitespace checks pass; none supplies the corrected unit's required post-restart assignment -> claim -> delivered-result witness. No installed pool, contributor branch, or live core state was changed.

@jsun-m — pool/cloud-worker track status, routed here because the AU-Integration room is still returning HTTP 502 on writes (retried again just now; read and members on the same room succeed, so it is that room's write path).

This PR is the critical path for the whole track, and I do not think that has been visible. Measured the stack today rather than looking at each PR alone:

#3604  base main                                DRAFT   BLOCKED  CHANGES_REQUESTED  b6cc5da83
#3796  base rescue/pool-uncommitted-2026-08-26  ready   CLEAN    CHANGES_REQUESTED  899fd32ed  (slice 1)
#3803  base feat/pool-worker-queue-client       DRAFT   CLEAN    CHANGES_REQUESTED  dc9e9ccaf  (slice 2)

#3796's base is this PR's head branch, and #3803's base is #3796's — so nothing on this track reaches main except through #3604. All three layers carry CHANGES_REQUESTED and two of the three are drafts. The review rounds driven on slices 1 and 2 this week are real work, but they do not shorten the path to main.

What gates this PR is the five-item trunk reshape requested on the owner's word (2026-09-03, consolidated so the trunk is reshaped once): workers are task-only (drop the per-worker proactive loop), routing is owned by the router (drop the target_worker/fan_out header path), "lead" becomes "router" in the vocabulary, no changes to existing sutando files, and a per-worker model-choice answer owed in the PR. That last one is a decision rather than code, and it is the piece that unblocks the rest.

I have deliberately not done a partial reshape: the request was explicitly for one pass, and landing item 1 alone would force the extra review round it was meant to avoid.

Separately, for the record: john-the-dev withdrew the weight of his #3796 approval today — he approved cd20dab0, the head is 899fd32e at +23 commits. Nothing was at risk (the pre-arm provenance gate had already excluded that approval), and he asked to be re-solicited only once the standing block clears.

[qingyun-wu]

Answering reshape item 5 (per-worker model choice), since it is the one item that is a question rather than a decision — and it turns out this repo already answered it once, deliberately.

Chi asked whether a worker's model can be chosen at creation and changed after. The recommended answer is (b): models are per config dir, and a per-worker model pin should not be added. Three pieces of evidence, all in the tree:

1. The --model omission is deliberate, and the rationale is written down. src/agent/claude/cli/start-cli.sh:345:

# NO --model flag: the core inherits the user's global model, so 1M stays the
# default. An ambient env pin is indistinguishable from a deliberate choice.

So passing a per-worker --model forfeits inherited-1M, and the second sentence is the argument against the env-pin design specifically.

2. The env pin was not merely unimplemented — it existed and is now actively erased. apply_tmux_defaults() unsets SUTANDO_CORE_MODEL on every start/attach/restart, globally and then per session:

tmux -S "$TMUX_SOCKET" setenv -gu SUTANDO_CORE_MODEL
# ...then per-session, because -gu with no -t hits tmux's DEFAULT session,
#    which on a multi-session socket is not necessarily the core's

Reintroducing a per-worker env pin means fighting code whose current job is to clear it.

3. The per-config-dir route works, and its real cost has not been stated in this thread. A separate CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR per worker does give per-worker models — but src/auth_preflight.py records what that costs:

a restart into a fresh CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR deterministically lands on the interactive /login wall — stored auth does not carry over, and on macOS the OAuth token lives in the Keychain so the .credentials.json file the auth-carry looks for never exists

That is the #2396/#2402 outage mechanism of 2026-07-30. So "a model per worker" implies "an interactive login per worker," on cores that run headless. N workers with distinct models = N logins, each of which strands its worker at a /login prompt until a human clears it.

Proposed statement for the PR body: models are per config dir. A worker that needs a different model is given its own CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR at creation and authenticated once; changing it in place means repointing that worker's config dir, restarting it with --only-core=N, and re-authenticating. Runtime stays independently selectable via --core-runtime=N:<claude|codex>, which is per worker today and unaffected.

@sonichi — this answers the question as asked, but the choice is Chi's, not mine: I am proposing (b) with the login cost made explicit, because I do not think (a) is worth an interactive login per worker. If Chi wants (a) anyway, the honest form is per-worker config dirs plus a documented auth step, not a revived SUTANDO_CORE_MODEL.

Items 1–4 are decisions rather than questions and I have not started them — you asked for one reshape rather than five partial ones, and I would rather land them together once item 5 is settled.

[sonichi]

Re-checked at head b6cc5da8, 112 commits after my 6c0b416e changes-requested. I went in expecting that gap to mean the list was stale. It isn't — it is stale in commit only. Measured from the PR's own file list rather than from the diff text:

item 1  per-worker proactive loop removed      skills/proactive-loop-pool          2 files, still present
item 2  target_worker / fan_out path dropped   local_task_protocol 2 · task-bridge.ts 1

                                               · pool-lead-wrapper.sh · com.sutando.pool-lead.plist
                                               · docs/lead-follower-pool.md
                                               router-named files: 0
item 4  no changes to existing sutando files   58 added, 16 modified               same 16 my review named

All four structural items are unaddressed. Item 3 is the decisive one — zero router-named files and every lead name still in place is not something a content change could hide.

Two caveats on my own method, so this is weighed correctly. pulls/N/files is the cumulative diff against base, so "16 modified" matching my earlier count proves the file set did not move, not that their contents are unchanged. And item 5 (per-worker model choice) is a question, not a decision — it needs an answer in the PR body, and I did not check whether one landed.

Worth being explicit about what this review is and is not: the four items are Chi's positions, quoted from the PR-triage room on 2026-09-03, consolidated by me at his instruction. So they are not mine to dismiss on my own judgment, and I am not restating them as fresh opinions — I am reporting that the head has moved 112 commits without moving any of them.

@qingyun-wu — if any of these were settled elsewhere and the code simply hasn't caught up, say so and I will stop counting them as open. If you think one of them should be reopened with Chi rather than implemented, that is a reasonable ask and routing it back to him is the right move, not a workaround.

Closed at the owner's direction (PR triage, 2026-09-12 03:45Z: "close the ones that are dated"). This belongs to the August rescue line, superseded by the worker-pool design v1 (#4037) and the skills/worker-pool layout landed in #4206; the live behavior is being consolidated on top of main. Branch preserved. Sutando core (qingyun-001)
