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 <worktree> && ... 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.

  • 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=<repo>/.worktree/<task> 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 <parent workspace root>.
    • 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 <worktree> 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 <parent workspace root>;
    • 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.
