Add the required deterministic-selection test
The diff declares sdk/tests/backlog-picker.test.ts as required, but does not add that file or register this fixture in an existing test. Consequently npm test can pass without executing the new selection regex or asserting its structured output, leaving the deterministic behavior introduced here entirely unpinned despite this definition of done.

Reuse the selected backlog snapshot when emitting
When ops/BACKLOG.md changes after select-entry completes—including across a crash and resume—this step rereads the mutable file instead of consuming the completed selection, so the journal can record item A as selected while the final package describes item B. Emit from the exact selected snapshot, or combine selection and emission into one deterministic step, so resume cannot change the work package.

Derive package metadata from the selected backlog item
The emitted files_in_scope and gate are constants rather than properties of the selected entry. The current first item is the deterministic-command preflight gap, which RFC-0001 assigns to Gate 1, yet this emits gate: 3; once that item is completed or reordered, every other existing backlog item will also inherit unrelated preflight file paths. This produces a structurally valid but incorrectly routed work package.

…ation Refreshing ground truth BEFORE it goes stale again. A stale STATE.md has cost two runs already: one escalated on a contradiction it could not resolve, another was told two completed items were still missing. An assessor in a sandbox has no git history — this file is its history. Three PRs are open and named so no run duplicates their work. Gate 2's entry now records that a real external event HAS woken the flow, with exactly-once holding across repeated live polls, and that what remains is Khaliq's judgement on rule 2 rather than a missing part.

The work package's definition of done called for a test proving selection is deterministic given the same input. The run reported the DoD met and shipped no such test — the selection rule existed only as a regex inside a shell one-liner in the flow yaml, where it could not be asserted at all. The rule now lives in sdk/src/backlog-picker.ts and the flow can call it. Five tests cover: the rule itself, determinism across 25 repeated selections, stable rendering, returning null rather than guessing when nothing is actionable, and ignoring bold prose that is not a bullet title. Determinism is the property that matters here, not a nicety. A Garden that proposes its own work must be predictable before it is clever: if two runs over identical input can disagree, nothing downstream can reason about what the system decided or why. Verified: sdk 158 passed across 11 files, tsc --noEmit clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

P1 addressed — the deterministic-selection test now exists. You were right that it was missing. The DoD called for it, the run reported the DoD met, and no such test shipped. The reason it was missing is worth naming: the selection rule lived only as a regex inside a shell one-liner in The rule now lives in Determinism is the load-bearing property, not a nicety — a Garden that proposes its own work must be predictable before it is clever. If two runs over identical input can disagree, nothing downstream can reason about what the system decided or why. The two P2s — reusing the selected snapshot rather than re-reading the file, and deriving package metadata from the entry — are not addressed. Both are real and both are refinements of a rule that now has a test around it, so they are safe to take next rather than urgent. |
Recording immediately after the merge rather than letting ground truth drift; a stale STATE.md has cost two runs already and an assessor in a sandbox has no git history to fall back on. Gate 3 moves RED -> AMBER: the backlog picker is on main with its selection rule extracted from a shell one-liner into testable code, determinism asserted across 25 repeated selections. That is the seed of flows proposing their own work, not the Garden. Two P2 refinements remain open in review and are recorded as deliberately non-blocking under the advisory/blocking split.

…red test Twice in a row: PR #20's determinism test and its follow-up's cross-step agreement test were both specified in the DoD, both reported done, and neither shipped. The code was right both times; the claim was not. BUILD_DONE and a green suite prove nothing here, because a missing test cannot fail. Recorded with why the easy fix is wrong: a build-gate grepping for a new test file is trivially satisfied by an empty one, and this program has already shipped four guards that could not fail. The real fix is to make the DoD itself executable — assess emits it as commands, verify runs them — so a missing test fails because the command naming it does not exist. That is a change to the assess/verify contract and wants Khaliq's view first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* gate 3: snapshot the backlog once, and prove the steps agree (PR #20 P2s) Two review refinements from PR #20, plus the test its DoD asked for. The flow re-read ops/BACKLOG.md in every step, so a backlog edit between select-entry and emit-package produced a package describing an entry that was never selected — a Garden reporting work it did not choose. read-backlog now snapshots the file once and the later steps read the snapshot and the selected entry, so the steps cannot disagree. Package metadata is derived from the selected entry rather than hardcoded. The test runs the flow's ACTUAL shell commands, not a reimplementation — a test of a paraphrase would pass while the flow stayed broken — and mutates the backlog mid-run to force the condition. Confirmed it FAILS against the unfixed flow before trusting it: × expected '{"title":"Swapped entry"...}' to contain 'Original entry' and passes against the fixed one. A regression test never seen to fail proves nothing; PR #18 is still carrying exactly that gap. Verified: sdk 159 passed across 12 files, tsc --noEmit clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: clear the selected entry before selecting, so no run inherits the last one (PR #21 P1) My own fix created this. Snapshotting the backlog stopped the two steps disagreeing within a run, but it did so with shared persistent state — and shared state leaks across runs. If select-entry finds nothing actionable it exits before writing, so emit-package read the PREVIOUS run's entry and presented it as this run's choice. A Garden confidently proposing yesterday's work as today's. select-entry now removes .relayflow/backlog-picker-entry.json before it attempts selection, so a failed selection leaves nothing behind to inherit. Confirmed the test FAILS without the fix before trusting it: × expected '{"title":"Yesterday entry"...}' not to contain 'Yesterday entry' Verified: sdk 160 passed across 12 files. The P2 (the files_in_scope regex matching backticked prose that contains a slash) is not addressed — real, cosmetic, and safe to take next.

Recording straight after the merge, as with #20. Both of the picker's properties now have tests confirmed to fail without their fixes: the two steps cannot disagree within a run, and no run inherits the previous run's selection. Noting in the same breath that #18 still does not meet that standard — its regression test has never been observed to fail — so the difference is visible to whoever reads this next rather than buried in a PR comment.
