## Created Created by LocalTicketBackend create. --- ## Decision ## Intake classification - readiness: requirements_sync_needed for implementation, but ready for Orchestrator routing to preflight/design synchronization. - needs_preflight: true - risk_flags: [authority-boundary, scope-permission, profile-manifest-resolution, pod-metadata-persistence, spawnpod-policy, backward-compatibility, diagnostics] This Ticket touches authority boundaries and has explicit unresolved design questions, so it should not be routed directly to implementation. The next routing should be preflight/design before any coder worktree or implementation Pod is started. --- ## Intake summary Existing Ticket refined rather than duplicated. Scope is to split direct Pod/tool authority from delegation authority for child Pod spawn scopes, preserving explicit parent grants and deny behavior. Intake classification: ready for Orchestrator routing, not direct implementation; route to preflight/design first because the Ticket touches authority boundaries, profile/manifest scope resolution, Pod metadata/restoration behavior, SpawnPod policy, backward compatibility, and diagnostics. needs_preflight: true. risk_flags: [authority-boundary, scope-permission, profile-manifest-resolution, pod-metadata-persistence, spawnpod-policy, backward-compatibility, diagnostics]. --- ## State changed Intake complete for routing. The Ticket is ready to queue for Orchestrator preflight/design routing; implementation should not start until the unresolved authority-boundary questions are settled or explicitly bounded. --- ## Decision ## Implementation direction: carrying delegation authority in Pod state Adopt a split where direct scope and delegation scope are separate authority surfaces. - Keep existing `scope` as direct tool/filesystem authority for the Pod itself. - Add a separate `delegation_scope` / delegation grant surface for authority the Pod may pass to children through `SpawnPod`. - Do not derive delegation authority implicitly from direct write scope. If `delegation_scope` is absent, the Pod cannot delegate write scope. - Do not persist a mutable "remaining delegation scope" in Pod metadata. Store static grants in the resolved manifest snapshot, and use `spawned_children` as the durable record of currently consumed delegated scope. - On restore, derive: - direct effective scope = `manifest.scope` plus write-deny rules for outstanding `spawned_children` delegations, preserving the current direct-write conflict behavior; - delegation effective scope = `manifest.delegation_scope` minus outstanding `spawned_children` delegations. - Runtime `Pod` state should carry separate shared handles for direct scope and delegation scope. Built-in filesystem tools continue to consult direct scope; `SpawnPodTool` validates against delegation scope. - `pod-registry::Allocation` should gain a delegation grant field so `delegate_scope()` checks subset against delegation grants rather than direct `scope_allow`. Registry conflict ownership should still prevent overlapping live write allocations. - Existing `spawned_children` remains the durable dynamic authority-consumption record; `spawned_pods.json` remains only a runtime mirror/hint. This supports the target role pattern: Companion/Intake/Reviewer default to direct read with no write delegation; Orchestrator can have limited/no direct workspace write while still having explicit bounded delegation grants for child worktrees; Coder receives direct child-worktree write and no further delegation unless explicitly granted. --- ## State changed Ticket queued for Orchestrator routing. --- ## Decision Routing decision: implementation_ready Reason: - The Ticket thread contains an explicit implementation direction that resolves the authority-boundary question: every Pod has direct operation authority, while only a separately granted delegation capability authorizes `SpawnPod` scope subdivision. - The binding decisions distinguish direct read/write scope from delegation grants, define default no-delegation behavior, preserve direct Bash/Edit/Write access, and require clear SpawnPod diagnostics. - Remaining uncertainty is bounded implementation design: exact type names, Profile/manifest field names, metadata persistence shape, and test organization. Evidence checked: - Ticket body: problem, goals, requirements, non-goals/constraints, acceptance criteria, and validation expectations. - Thread: Intake summary, implementation direction, binding decisions/invariants, and latest `ready -> queued` event. - Workspace state: no matching branch/worktree exists; main workspace has unrelated Ticket-record edits and newly queued panel Ticket records outside this implementation path. - Code map search for `SpawnPod`, scope/delegation validation, profile/manifest scope fields, pod metadata/scope persistence, and child scope allocation. - Ticket doctor: 0 errors; existing warnings are unrelated legacy closed-Ticket diagnostics. IntentPacket: Intent: - Split Pod direct operation authority from subdelegation authority so a Pod may directly read/write broad scope without automatically being allowed to spawn children over that scope. Binding decisions / invariants: - Direct scope authorizes the current Pod's own tools only. - Delegation scope/capability authorizes only what that Pod may pass to `SpawnPod` children. - Default delegation authority is none unless explicitly granted. - Broad direct workspace/write scope must not imply broad child delegation. - `SpawnPod` must validate requested child scope against the parent's delegation grant, not the parent's direct tool scope. - Existing direct operations (`Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Bash`) must keep using direct scope and must not be reduced by this split. - Existing/restored older Pods without delegation metadata must be unable to spawn children with delegated filesystem scope until granted by explicit new configuration/metadata. - Profile/workspace role defaults should grant delegation intentionally only to roles that are supposed to orchestrate children. - Do not weaken scope path validation, registry accounting, child scope reclaim, or host-authority checks. Requirements / acceptance criteria: - Introduce a typed representation for direct scope versus delegation/subdelegation scope. - Update Profile/manifest/runtime config parsing so role Profiles can express broad direct scope with narrow/no delegation authority. - Update Pod metadata/session persistence and restore so effective direct scope and delegation grant are durable/replayable. - Update `SpawnPod` validation and diagnostics to use delegation authority and say when delegation is missing/insufficient. - Update local role/Profile configuration for Companion/Intake/Orchestrator/Coder/Reviewer according to intended delegation behavior. - Preserve existing scope validation for direct tools. - Add tests covering: direct tool access allowed while SpawnPod delegation denied; explicit delegation grant permits appropriate subset; over-delegation rejected; old metadata/restored scope without delegation defaults to no delegation. Implementation latitude: - Coder may choose exact Rust type names and config field names if they clearly express direct vs delegation authority. - Coder may stage internal compatibility for parsing older metadata as direct-scope-only/no-delegation, but must not create broad old-name delegation aliases. - Coder may keep existing user-facing scope terminology where it remains clear, but diagnostics must distinguish direct authority from delegation authority. Escalate if: - The split requires a broad migration of stored metadata beyond defaulting missing delegation to none. - Existing orchestrator/role Profiles cannot express needed delegation without a separate config model. - Implementing this would require changing host authority grants, Ticket backend authority, or non-filesystem capabilities. - Tests reveal SpawnPod registry/reclaim semantics assume direct scope and delegation scope are the same in a way that cannot be localized. Validation: - Focused tests for scope/delegation validation and SpawnPod over-delegation diagnostics. - Profile/manifest parsing tests for direct/delegation fields. - Pod metadata/session restore tests for missing delegation defaulting to none. - `cargo test -p pod ...` / `cargo test -p manifest ...` / `cargo test -p client ...` focused equivalents selected by coder. - `cargo check -q`. - `cargo fmt --check`. - `git diff --check`. - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor`. - Because scope/config/runtime/profile behavior is touched, final merge-completion must include `nix build .#yoi`. Current code map: - `crates/pod/src/tools/pod_management.rs`: `SpawnPod` input and requested child scope handling. - `crates/pod/src/session_store.rs`, `crates/pod/src/pod_registry.rs`, and related metadata/session scope snapshot code. - `crates/manifest/src/*`: scope allow parsing/profile/manifest config. - `crates/tui/src/spawn.rs`, `crates/client/src/spawn.rs`, `crates/client/src/ticket_role.rs`: runtime launch/profile/scope propagation. - Project role Profiles under `.yoi/profiles` / profile resources as applicable. Critical risks / reviewer focus: - Direct write scope must remain usable by the parent Pod after the split. - `SpawnPod` must not fall back to direct scope when delegation grant is absent. - Missing old delegation metadata must fail closed for child delegation. - Orchestrator/coder/reviewer role configs must not accidentally grant broad delegation to non-orchestrator roles. - Error messages must make the missing delegation grant understandable, not look like ordinary read/write scope denial. --- ## State changed Accepted queued implementation after reading the Ticket, implementation-direction decision, workspace state, and authority/scope code map. This acceptance precedes worktree creation and coder/reviewer Pod spawning. --- ## Plan Implementation routing accepted and worktree created. Worktree plan: - Branch: `split-direct-and-delegation-authority` - Worktree: `.worktree/split-direct-and-delegation-authority` - Base: `fa39f92 ticket: route direct delegation authority split` - Scope: split direct tool scope from child-delegation scope for `SpawnPod`, profile/runtime metadata, and diagnostics. Delegation plan: - Spawn sibling coder Pod with write scope limited to `.worktree/split-direct-and-delegation-authority`. - Coder must run Bash commands from the child worktree, not from the main workspace. - Coder must not edit main-workspace `.yoi` / Ticket / workflow / docs records, and must not create generated memory/local/runtime/secret-like files. - Reviewer will be spawned read-only after coder reports diff/commits and validation evidence. Concurrency note: - Newly queued panel/Ticket-language/shutdown Tickets exist in main workspace records, but this implementation must remain isolated to the child worktree and should not edit unrelated Ticket records. Stop/completion policy: - Because the human authorized cleanup after completion, this Orchestrator will proceed through reviewer approval, merge-completion validation, Ticket close, Pod stop, worktree removal, and branch deletion if the branch is approved and merge authority remains clear. --- ## Implementation report Coder completed and reviewer delegated. Coder result: - Pod: `coder-split-direct-delegation` - Commit: `a4a9b00 feat: split direct and delegation scope authority` - Worktree status: clean after commit. - Diff against `develop`: 9 files changed, 320 insertions, 20 deletions. Files touched by coder: - `.yoi/profiles/_base.lua` - `.yoi/profiles/orchestrator.lua` - `crates/manifest/src/config.rs` - `crates/manifest/src/lib.rs` - `crates/manifest/src/profile.rs` - `crates/manifest/src/scope.rs` - `crates/pod/src/pod.rs` - `crates/pod/src/spawn/tool.rs` - `crates/pod/tests/spawn_pod_test.rs` Coder reported implementation: - Added `delegation_scope` to manifest/profile resolution separately from direct `scope`. - Added `DelegationScope` type and changed `SpawnPod` requested child scope validation to check delegation grant rather than direct tool scope. - Missing `delegation_scope` in old metadata/snapshots defaults to no delegation. - `inherit` Profile does not implicitly inherit subdelegation authority. - `.yoi/profiles/orchestrator.lua` explicitly gets workspace-write delegation; Companion/Intake/Coder/Reviewer remain without delegation grant. - Added tests for direct scope with delegation denied, explicit grant success, over-delegation rejection diagnostics, old snapshot no-delegation default, and Profile Lua delegation resolution. Coder reported validation: - `cargo test -p manifest profile --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest deserialize_old_manifest_snapshot_defaults_to_no_delegation --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest --lib` - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` - `cargo test -p pod-registry` - `cargo check -q` - `cargo fmt --check` - `git diff --check` - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor` - `nix build .#yoi` Reviewer delegation: - Spawned sibling reviewer Pod: `reviewer-split-direct-delegation`. - Reviewer scope: read-only child worktree plus non-recursive parent-root read required by launch cwd validation. - Reviewer was instructed to judge against the recorded Ticket requirements and binding decisions. Pending: - Await reviewer verdict before merge-ready dossier / merge-completion. - No merge, close, final approval, or cleanup has occurred for this Ticket. --- ## Implementation report Reviewer returned `request_changes`; coder fix-loop delegated. Reviewer verdict: - `request_changes` Blocker: - `DelegationScope::allows_rule` / `rule_covers` over-approves subset delegation for `recursive = false` parent grants. - A parent grant such as `/repo` with `recursive = false` permits only `/repo` and direct children, but a requested child grant `/repo/child` with `recursive = false` permits `/repo/child` plus its direct children. That includes `/repo/child/grandchild`, which exceeds the parent grant. - Current `direct_child(&requested.target, &available.target)` coverage treats this as allowed, weakening path validation. Related reviewer concern: - Deny overlap logic around the same code may under-detect overlaps for non-recursive deny versus recursive request, e.g. deny `/repo` non-recursive should overlap a recursive request rooted at `/repo/child` because the deny covers `/repo/child`. Action taken: - Sent fix-loop instructions to `coder-split-direct-delegation` with required subset/overlap tests for recursive/non-recursive semantics. Pending: - Await coder fix report and reviewer re-review. - No merge, close, final approval, or cleanup has occurred. --- ## Implementation report Coder fix-loop completed and reviewer re-review delegated. Coder follow-up: - Commit: `f43c8ac fix: validate delegation path sets exactly` - Worktree: clean on branch `split-direct-and-delegation-authority`. - Fixes claimed: - `DelegationScope` subset checks now compare recursive/non-recursive path-set inclusion rather than only rule target containment. - `recursive=false /repo` allows exact `recursive=false /repo` but rejects `recursive=false /repo/child`. - `recursive=true /repo` allows `recursive=false /repo/child`. - deny overlap now compares path sets, so deny `recursive=false /repo` rejects request `recursive=true /repo/child`. - Added focused regression tests in `crates/manifest/src/scope.rs` and `crates/pod/tests/spawn_pod_test.rs`. Coder validation reported: - `cargo test -p manifest delegation_ --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest --lib` - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` - `cargo fmt --check` - `git diff --check` - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor` - `nix build .#yoi` Action taken: - Sent updated commits and prior blocker checklist to `reviewer-split-direct-delegation` for read-only re-review. Pending: - Await reviewer verdict before merge-ready dossier / merge-completion. - No merge, close, final approval, or cleanup has occurred. --- ## Implementation report Merge-ready dossier: direct/delegation authority split Ticket id/slug: - `20260608-010442-split-direct-and-delegation-authority` / `split-direct-and-delegation-authority` Branch/worktree: - Branch: `split-direct-and-delegation-authority` - Worktree: `.worktree/split-direct-and-delegation-authority` - Current branch commits: - `a4a9b00 feat: split direct and delegation scope authority` - `f43c8ac fix: validate delegation path sets exactly` Intent / invariant check: - Direct scope and delegation/subdelegation scope are now represented separately. - Direct scope continues to authorize the current Pod's own tools. - `SpawnPod` validates requested child scope against delegation authority, not direct scope. - Missing old delegation metadata defaults to no delegation/fail-closed for child delegation. - Broad direct workspace/write scope no longer implies broad child delegation. - Role defaults intentionally grant delegation to Orchestrator only in the project profile updates; Companion/Intake/Coder/Reviewer remain without broad delegation. - Registry allocation/reclaim and direct tool scope semantics were not intentionally weakened. Implementation summary: - Added `delegation_scope` to manifest/profile resolution separately from direct `scope`. - Added `DelegationScope` representation and validation helpers in manifest scope handling. - Updated Pod runtime/config snapshot paths to carry delegation grants durably/replayably with missing delegation defaulting to none. - Updated `SpawnPod` validation/diagnostics to use delegation grant. - Updated project role Profiles so Orchestrator explicitly receives workspace-write delegation and base/non-orchestrator roles do not inherit it. - Added regression tests for no-delegation denial, explicit delegation success, over-delegation rejection, missing-old-metadata default, Profile Lua delegation resolution, recursive/non-recursive path-set subset handling, and deny overlap behavior. Files touched: - `.yoi/profiles/_base.lua` - `.yoi/profiles/orchestrator.lua` - `crates/manifest/src/config.rs` - `crates/manifest/src/lib.rs` - `crates/manifest/src/profile.rs` - `crates/manifest/src/scope.rs` - `crates/pod/src/pod.rs` - `crates/pod/src/spawn/tool.rs` - `crates/pod/tests/spawn_pod_test.rs` Coder / reviewer Pods: - Coder: `coder-split-direct-delegation` - Reviewer: `reviewer-split-direct-delegation` Review evidence: - Initial reviewer verdict: `request_changes` for recursive=false path-set over-delegation and deny-overlap under-detection. - Coder fix commit: `f43c8ac fix: validate delegation path sets exactly`. - Re-review verdict: `approve`. - Reviewer confirmed `recursive=false /repo` no longer permits `recursive=false /repo/child`, `recursive=true /repo` permits `recursive=false /repo/child`, deny `recursive=false /repo` overlaps request `recursive=true /repo/child`, direct/delegation split remains intact, missing delegation metadata fails closed, and role grants remain intentional. Validation performed by coder and/or reviewer: - `cargo test -p manifest profile --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest deserialize_old_manifest_snapshot_defaults_to_no_delegation --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest delegation_ --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest --lib` - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` - `cargo test -p pod-registry` - `cargo check -q` - `cargo fmt --check` - `git diff --check` - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor` - `nix build .#yoi` Blockers fixed or rejected findings: - Fixed: recursive=false delegation subset over-approval. - Fixed: non-recursive deny vs recursive request overlap under-detection. - No remaining reviewer blockers. Residual risks: - The implementation conservatively rejects delegating non-recursive direct-child scope from a non-recursive parent grant because path validation is path-based rather than file/directory-aware. Reviewer accepted this safety-first behavior. - Future support for child Pods that themselves may subdelegate will require an explicit separate child-delegation request/validation/persistence surface; this is outside the current Ticket. Dirty state: - Child worktree is clean at `f43c8ac`. - Main workspace has unrelated Ticket-record edits for queued/preflight work; they are outside this branch's touched paths and are understood. Parent/human decision needs: - User has authorized merge-completion and cleanup after approved work. Proceeding to merge-completion unless post-merge validation fails. --- ## Review: approve Final merge-completion approval after merge to `develop` and post-merge validation. Evidence: - Merged branch `split-direct-and-delegation-authority` with `--no-ff`. - Reviewer `reviewer-split-direct-delegation` approved after fix-loop. - Post-merge validation passed: focused manifest/profile/delegation tests, `cargo test -p manifest --lib`, `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test`, `cargo test -p pod-registry`, `cargo check -q`, `cargo fmt --check`, `git diff --check`, `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor`, and `nix build .#yoi`. - Coder/reviewer Pods stopped and delegated scope reclaimed. - Merged worktree removed and branch deleted. This approval is for the merged main-branch result, not merely the branch-local reviewer verdict. --- ## State changed Merged to `develop`, post-merge validation passed, final merge-completion approval recorded, and direct/delegation branch/worktree/Pods cleaned up. --- ## Closed Merged and completed the direct/delegation authority split. Summary: - Added a separate `delegation_scope` alongside direct `scope` in manifest/profile resolution. - `SpawnPod` requested child scope is now validated against delegation authority rather than direct tool scope. - Missing old delegation metadata/snapshots default to no delegation, so restored older Pods fail closed for child delegation. - Direct tool scope remains available for parent `Read`/`Write`/`Edit`/`Bash` behavior. - Orchestrator profile receives explicit workspace-write delegation; base/non-orchestrator role profiles do not inherit broad delegation. - Fixed reviewer-identified recursive/non-recursive subset and deny-overlap edge cases with path-set based validation. Merged branch/worktree: - Branch: `split-direct-and-delegation-authority` - Commits: `a4a9b00`, `f43c8ac` - Merge commit on `develop`: `92d1c0b merge: split direct and delegation authority` Validation passed after merge: - `cargo test -p manifest profile --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest deserialize_old_manifest_snapshot_defaults_to_no_delegation --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest delegation_ --lib` - `cargo test -p manifest --lib` - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` - `cargo test -p pod-registry` - `cargo check -q` - `cargo fmt --check` - `git diff --check` - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor` - `nix build .#yoi` Cleanup completed: - Stopped coder/reviewer Pods and reclaimed scope. - Removed `.worktree/split-direct-and-delegation-authority`. - Deleted branch `split-direct-and-delegation-authority`. Residual notes: - Non-recursive path-set validation is intentionally conservative and path-based; it does not infer whether a direct child path is a file or directory. - Future child-to-grandchild subdelegation support will require an explicit child-delegation request/validation/persistence surface and remains out of scope. ---
