## Created Created by LocalTicketBackend create. --- ## Decision ## Intake readiness classification - readiness: implementation_ready - needs_preflight: true - risk_flags: [authority-boundary, scope-delegation, pod-runtime, workspace-context, workflow-guidance] The Ticket is specific enough for Orchestrator routing: it fixes the public tool input name (`cwd`), default behavior when omitted, the distinction between process/tool cwd and inherited workspace context, and the invariant that `cwd` grants no authority by itself. Preflight remains required because the change touches SpawnPod delegation authority, scope validation, runtime cwd behavior, and workflow guidance. --- ## Intake summary Existing Ticket updated rather than duplicated. Scope is to add an optional `cwd` field to `SpawnPod` so child Pods can run process/tool commands from a child worktree while inheriting the parent workspace context. Required invariants: omitted `cwd` preserves current spawner pwd behavior; provided `cwd` is absolute, existing directory, and within parent read authority; cwd does not grant read/write permission, change workspace root, alter Profile discovery, or affect Pod naming; delegated scope remains explicit. Worktree and multi-agent workflow guidance should prefer coder Pods with child-worktree cwd. Ticket is implementation-ready for routing, with preflight recommended because it touches authority/scope/runtime/workflow boundaries. --- ## State changed Intake classified the existing Ticket as ready for Orchestrator routing. The user or panel may now queue it; implementation must still wait for Orchestrator acceptance and any preflight/routing decision. --- ## State changed Ticket queued for Orchestrator routing. --- ## Decision Routing decision: preflight_needed Reason: - The Ticket is well specified, but Intake explicitly records that preflight remains required because this touches SpawnPod delegation authority, scope validation, runtime cwd behavior, and workflow guidance. - The proposed `cwd` field must preserve a strict authority boundary: cwd changes process/tool working directory only, does not grant read/write permission, does not change workspace context, and does not affect Profile discovery or Pod naming. - This needs a short binding design note before coder delegation so reviewer can judge schema, validation, runtime launch, and workflow-guidance changes against recorded authority invariants rather than implementation convenience. Evidence checked: - Ticket body requirements, design notes, and acceptance criteria. - Thread: Intake classification, risk flags, and latest `ready -> queued` event. - Workspace state: no matching branch/worktree exists; main workspace has unrelated Ticket-record edits. - Code map search for SpawnPod input/launch, cwd/current_dir, scope validation, and workflow guidance paths. - Ticket doctor: 0 errors; existing warnings are unrelated legacy closed-Ticket diagnostics. Next action: - Run `ticket-preflight-workflow` before implementation delegation. - Preflight should record: `cwd` schema/name, required validation (`absolute`, existing directory, within parent read authority), whether cwd must also be readable by delegated child scope or only by parent authority at launch, exact relationship to child process `current_dir` and Bash default cwd, unchanged workspace/profile/Pod-name semantics, diagnostics, and workflow guidance updates. - Leave this Ticket queued for now; do not transition `queued -> inprogress`, create `.worktree/allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd`, or spawn coder/reviewer Pods until preflight records implementation readiness. Escalate if: - cwd validation would require broad capability model changes. - Setting child process cwd cannot be separated from workspace-root/Profile discovery. - Tool default cwd cannot be made consistent without changing Bash/tool execution semantics more broadly. --- ## Decision Routing decision: implementation_ready Correction: - The previous `preflight_needed` routing decision was too conservative. The Ticket body already fixes the core authority boundary: `cwd` is intentionally separate from runtime workspace root, Profile discovery, project/Ticket/memory roots, and Pod identity. - The remaining choices are bounded implementation details rather than preflight blockers. Reason: - The Ticket explicitly states that `SpawnPod.cwd` is optional child process/tool working-directory context, not workspace context and not an authority grant. - It already records that `cwd` does not replace delegated scope and does not change profile/manifest/workspace-root semantics. - The recently merged direct/delegation authority split strengthens the surrounding invariant: child scope delegation remains explicit and independent from process cwd. - Requirements and acceptance criteria are observable: schema/input support, validation/diagnostics, child process current_dir/default Bash cwd, workflow guidance, and tests. Evidence checked: - Ticket body and thread, including the user clarification that the Ticket exists specifically to separate workspace and cwd. - Workspace state: no existing matching worktree/branch; main workspace clean before this routing update. - Existing workflow pain observed earlier: spawned child Pods currently validate/run from parent cwd and require non-recursive parent read grants even when implementation work should be rooted in a child worktree. - Related completed Ticket: `split-direct-and-delegation-authority` has now separated direct scope from delegation authority, so `cwd` can remain a process context without implying child authority. IntentPacket: Intent: - Add an optional `cwd` field to `SpawnPod` so the parent can choose the child process/tool default working directory independently from runtime workspace context and delegated scope. Binding decisions / invariants: - `cwd` means child process/tool working directory only. - `cwd` is not runtime workspace root. - `cwd` does not affect Profile discovery, project record root, Ticket config root, workflow registry, memory root discovery, Pod name/default identity, or role launch workspace context. - `cwd` grants no read/write authority. Child filesystem access remains controlled by explicit delegated `scope` and, after the direct/delegation split, by the parent's delegation authority. - Omitted `cwd` preserves existing behavior as closely as possible. - Provided `cwd` must be absolute, exist, and be a directory. - Provided `cwd` must be readable/usable under the child effective direct scope, or launch must fail clearly. This prevents starting a child in a directory it cannot inspect/use. - Worktree/multi-agent workflows should set coder `cwd` to the child worktree while still delegating explicit read/write scope to that worktree. - Reviewer `cwd` is a workflow convenience, not an authority signal. Requirements / acceptance criteria: - Extend `SpawnPod` tool input/schema with optional `cwd`. - Validate `cwd` before child launch and return clear errors for relative, missing, non-directory, or not-in-child-scope paths. - Start the spawned Pod process with `cwd` as its process current directory when provided. - Ensure the child Bash/tool default cwd is the provided `cwd` so commands no longer need mandatory `cd && ...` wrappers. - Preserve existing behavior for callers that omit `cwd`. - Keep delegated scope validation independent from `cwd`. - Update multi-agent/worktree workflow guidance and/or generated launch prompt wording where maintained guidance currently tells coders to `cd` into worktrees because SpawnPod cannot set cwd. - Add focused tests for schema/validation and child launch cwd behavior where practical. Implementation latitude: - Coder may choose exact Rust field names/types and validation helper placement. - Coder may update only maintained workflow/prompt guidance that directly references child worktree `cd` workarounds. - If runtime process cwd is easier to validate via child direct scope than parent authority, prefer child-scope validation because `cwd` is for the child's usable environment, not a parent capability grant. - Coder may leave role launcher/Profile workspace-root behavior untouched unless a test proves `cwd` currently contaminates it. Escalate if: - Adding `cwd` requires changing workspace-root/Profile/memory-root semantics. - Child process current_dir cannot be changed without broad runtime command redesign. - A safe validation rule cannot be expressed without granting authority via `cwd`. - Existing spawned Pod registry/scope accounting assumes child process cwd is always the parent cwd in a way that cannot be localized. Validation: - Focused tests for `SpawnPod` input/schema validation. - Tests or probes proving provided `cwd` becomes the child process/tool default cwd while omitted `cwd` preserves current behavior. - SpawnPod scope/delegation tests to ensure `cwd` does not bypass delegated scope. - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` or focused equivalent. - `cargo test -p protocol` / schema tests if tool input types live there. - `cargo fmt --check`. - `git diff --check`. - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor`. - Because tool schema/runtime/workflow guidance may change, final merge-completion should include `nix build .#yoi`. Current code map: - `crates/pod/src/tools/pod_management.rs` or current SpawnPod tool input/handler path. - `crates/pod/src/spawn/tool.rs` and related runtime spawn implementation after the authority split. - `crates/protocol/src/lib.rs` if tool schemas/input structs are protocol-owned. - `crates/pod/tests/spawn_pod_test.rs` for SpawnPod behavior tests. - Workflow guidance files for worktree/multi-agent coder instructions. Critical risks / reviewer focus: - `cwd` must not become a hidden workspace-root or authority source. - Relative/missing/out-of-scope cwd must fail clearly before launch. - Omitted `cwd` must preserve existing launch behavior. - Child direct tools must run from `cwd` by default when provided. - Delegated scope and delegation authority validation must remain independent and stricter than cwd convenience. --- ## State changed Accepted queued implementation after correcting the prior over-conservative preflight routing and recording an implementation-ready IntentPacket. This acceptance precedes worktree creation and coder/reviewer Pod spawning. --- ## Plan Implementation routing accepted and worktree created. Worktree plan: - Branch: `allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` - Worktree: `.worktree/allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` - Base: `15cf4a1 ticket: route spawnpod cwd implementation` - Scope: add optional `SpawnPod.cwd` as child process/tool working-directory context, separate from workspace root and delegated authority. Delegation plan: - Spawn sibling coder Pod with write scope limited to `.worktree/allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd`. - Coder must run Bash commands from the child worktree for now because the current live `SpawnPod` tool does not yet support `cwd`; implementing that support is the Ticket goal. - 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. 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-spawnpod-child-cwd` - Commit: `3dd7707 feat: add SpawnPod cwd` - Worktree status: clean after commit. - Diff against `develop`: 6 files changed, 270 insertions, 6 deletions. Files touched by coder: - `crates/pod/src/spawn/tool.rs` - `crates/pod/tests/spawn_pod_test.rs` - `resources/prompts/internal.toml` - `crates/client/src/ticket_role.rs` - `.yoi/workflow/multi-agent-workflow.md` - `.yoi/workflow/worktree-workflow.md` Coder reported implementation: - Added `SpawnPodInput.cwd: Option`. - Validates relative, missing, non-directory, and not-child-readable-scope `cwd` before launch with `InvalidArgument` diagnostics. - Omitted `cwd` preserves existing spawner-pwd behavior. - Provided `cwd` is passed to child process `Command::current_dir(...)`. - Added focused tests for schema/validation, provided cwd becoming child process cwd, and omitted cwd preserving previous behavior. - Updated maintained SpawnPod and multi-agent/worktree guidance to describe `cwd` as non-authority child working directory. Coder reported validation: - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod` - `cargo fmt` - `cargo fmt --check` - `git diff --check` - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor` - `nix build .#yoi` Reviewer delegation: - Spawned sibling reviewer Pod: `reviewer-spawnpod-child-cwd`. - Reviewer scope: read-only child worktree plus non-recursive parent-root read required by current launch cwd behavior. - 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: - Current implementation makes `cwd` affect spawned child runtime workspace/context instead of only child process/tool working directory. Reviewer evidence: - `SpawnPod` launches the child command with `.current_dir(child_cwd)`. - The child `yoi pod --adopt` entrypoint defaults `--workspace` to `.` and resolves it through `std::env::current_dir()`. - Runtime setup then sets current_dir to that workspace and `Pod::new` captures current pwd for workspace-like context, memory layout, and workflow loading. - Therefore `cwd=/.worktree/` causes the child runtime to derive workspace/memory/workflow context from the worktree, violating the Ticket invariant that `cwd` is not runtime workspace root and must not affect project/Ticket/workflow/memory/Profile context. Action taken: - Sent fix-loop instructions to `coder-spawnpod-child-cwd`. - Required fix: preserve inherited runtime workspace root/context separately from requested tool/Bash `cwd`; ensure omitted `cwd` preserves existing behavior; keep validation independent from authority; add tests that fail against the blocked implementation rather than only fake-command `pwd` tests. 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: `248744f fix: keep SpawnPod cwd separate` - Worktree: clean on branch `allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd`. - Fixes claimed: - `SpawnPod.cwd` is passed as hidden `--tool-cwd`, while child runtime still receives inherited `--workspace `. - Child process launch current_dir is workspace root, not tool cwd, preventing runtime context from being derived from the tool cwd. - Adopted child startup separates runtime workspace context from tool cwd. - `Pod` stores `workspace_root` and `pwd` separately; memory/Ticket/workflow/Profile context uses `workspace_root`, while Bash/tools/ScopedFs use `pwd`. - Ticket role coder guidance no longer assumes mandatory `cd ` when SpawnPod cwd is available. - Added tests proving runtime workspace and tool cwd stay separate, omitted cwd preserves prior pwd behavior, and memory layout derives from workspace root rather than tool cwd. Coder validation reported: - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod` - `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-spawnpod-child-cwd` 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: SpawnPod child cwd Ticket id/slug: - `20260608-011036-allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` / `allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` Branch/worktree: - Branch: `allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` - Worktree: `.worktree/allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` - Current branch commits: - `3dd7707 feat: add SpawnPod cwd` - `248744f fix: keep SpawnPod cwd separate` Intent / invariant check: - `SpawnPod.cwd` is child process/tool working directory only. - Runtime workspace/project/Ticket/workflow/memory/Profile context remains inherited through explicit workspace root and is not derived from tool cwd. - `cwd` grants no authority; child filesystem access remains controlled by explicit delegated direct scope and parent delegation authority. - Omitted `cwd` preserves current/spawner-pwd behavior. - Invalid/missing/non-directory/not-child-readable-scope cwd is rejected before launch. Implementation summary: - Added optional `SpawnPodInput.cwd`. - Added validation for relative/missing/non-directory/not-child-scope-readable cwd. - Initial implementation blocker was fixed by separating runtime workspace root from tool cwd: - child runtime receives explicit `--workspace `; - child tool cwd is passed separately as hidden `--tool-cwd`; - command launch current_dir remains workspace root, not tool cwd; - Pod stores `workspace_root` and `pwd` separately. - Updated nested SpawnPod registration so inherited workspace root and current tool pwd remain distinct. - Updated maintained prompt/workflow guidance to use `SpawnPod.cwd` as non-authority child working directory while still delegating explicit scope. Files touched: - `.yoi/workflow/multi-agent-workflow.md` - `.yoi/workflow/worktree-workflow.md` - `crates/client/src/ticket_role.rs` - `crates/pod/src/controller.rs` - `crates/pod/src/entrypoint.rs` - `crates/pod/src/pod.rs` - `crates/pod/src/spawn/tool.rs` - `crates/pod/tests/spawn_pod_test.rs` - `resources/prompts/internal.toml` Coder / reviewer Pods: - Coder: `coder-spawnpod-child-cwd` - Reviewer: `reviewer-spawnpod-child-cwd` Review evidence: - Initial reviewer verdict: `request_changes` because `Command::current_dir(child_cwd)` caused child runtime workspace context to be derived from cwd. - Coder fix commit: `248744f fix: keep SpawnPod cwd separate`. - Re-review verdict: `approve`. - Reviewer confirmed runtime workspace and tool cwd are now separated, memory/workflow layout uses workspace root, tool cwd is used for default tool/Bash cwd, omitted cwd preserves behavior, and validation remains non-authority. Validation performed by coder and/or reviewer: - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod` - `cargo fmt --check` - `git diff --check develop...HEAD` - `cargo run -q -p yoi -- ticket doctor` - `nix build .#yoi` Blockers fixed or rejected findings: - Fixed: `cwd` no longer changes runtime workspace/project/Ticket/workflow/memory context. - No remaining reviewer blockers. Residual risks: - Child effective direct scope must be readable for both inherited workspace root and tool cwd. This is intentional and keeps cwd non-authoritative, but manual callers must include workspace read scope when using a worktree cwd. - Restore behavior for an already-spawned Pod's distinct tool cwd was not deeply audited beyond launch-time requirements; reviewer judged launch and nested SpawnPod behavior sufficient for this Ticket. Dirty state: - Child worktree is clean at `248744f`. - Main workspace has unrelated active worktrees/Ticket-record changes for Ticket language work; they are outside this branch's core implementation paths and understood. Note that both branches touch `crates/client/src/ticket_role.rs`, so later Ticket-language merge may need normal conflict awareness. 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 `allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` with `--no-ff`; a merge conflict in `crates/pod/src/pod.rs` was resolved by preserving both the Intake role marker methods and the new tool/process cwd documentation. - Reviewer `reviewer-spawnpod-child-cwd` approved after fix-loop. - Post-merge validation passed: `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test`, `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod`, `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 SpawnPod cwd branch/worktree/Pods cleaned up. --- ## Closed Merged and completed `SpawnPod.cwd` support. Summary: - Added optional `SpawnPodInput.cwd` for child process/tool working directory. - Validates `cwd` before launch: absolute, existing directory, and usable under the child effective direct scope. - Preserves omitted-`cwd` behavior. - Separates runtime workspace context from tool cwd: child runtime receives inherited `--workspace`, while requested tool cwd is passed separately as hidden `--tool-cwd`. - `Pod` now separates `workspace_root` from `pwd`; workspace/project/Ticket/workflow/memory/Profile context uses `workspace_root`, while tools/Bash/ScopedFs use `pwd`. - Updated maintained multi-agent/worktree guidance to use `SpawnPod.cwd` as non-authority convenience while keeping delegated scope explicit. Merged branch/worktree: - Branch: `allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd` - Commits: `3dd7707`, `248744f` - Merge commit on `develop`: `05df656 merge: allow SpawnPod child cwd` Validation passed after merge: - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod --test spawn_pod_test` - `cargo test -p pod spawn_pod` - `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/allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd`. - Deleted branch `allow-spawnpod-child-workspace-cwd`. Residual notes: - Manual callers using a worktree cwd must still delegate readable workspace context plus explicit worktree scope; `cwd` grants no authority. - Restore behavior for already-spawned Pods with distinct tool cwd was not deeply audited beyond launch-time/nested SpawnPod behavior and remains a possible future refinement if needed. ---
