pm-dispatch: finding triage runs to EMPTY each fire, quality held by ≤5-card batches — maintainer ruling 2026-08-25 supersedes the 3–5/round budget and the 15–20 batch parameter #11972

Closed

Description

@os-zhuang

Filed and dispatched by the skills seat (session session_01RMTpSRF5CjMmQBFfPtPCwJ) executing a live maintainer ruling.

The ruling

Context: with ~83 (objectstack) + ~48 (objectui) ungraded finding cards, the maintainer was asked whether scheduled triage fires should clear the whole backlog. This seat recommended a per-round budget increase instead of clearing; the maintainer overruled, 2026-08-25, verbatim:

单轮跑数小时没关系啊。不读卡的批量盖章 可以通过每批5张这种约定来解决

⇒ Scheduled triage runs to EMPTY (or to the point of exhaustion of the fire window), with no per-round total budget. The rubber-stamp risk is controlled by batch granularity — each batch is ≤5 same-family cards read carefully — not by capping the total.

What changes, where

  1. .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md, 「发现分诊轮」: replace the 「首触定级每轮跑:预算 3–5 张」 budget with: every fire processes ALL ungraded findings, executed in batches of ≤5 same-family cards, each batch read with the existing care (过时前提检查 → 三选一:晋级 / 关闭 not planned / hold 换标); a run of several hours is acceptable; a fire that cannot finish resumes from where it stopped next fire (graded cards are off-label and never re-read — the label discipline already guarantees the checkpoint). 零定级评论优先 and all other existing clauses (判级在分诊不在立单、skills 自分诊例外、Restart-when 每日子轮、pm:retriage 每 fire 高优先) unchanged.
  2. references/dispatch-runbook.md, 「自动集中轮批量参数」: the 15–20/batch parameter is superseded by the ruled ≤5/batch; the 「finding >15 ⇒ 集中轮」 trigger clause is absorbed — with run-to-empty as the steady state, a count above the old threshold is no longer a mode switch but an inflow alarm (write that semantic in one line: if the backlog stays >15 across consecutive fires despite run-to-empty, the problem is filing-side inflow, not triage-side throughput). The sweep-package-promotion five rules (2026-08-07) are unchanged and still batch-scoped.
  3. Ratchet ceilings: both files are ceilinged — pay by consolidation (the superseded budget prose IS the purse); argue any raise.

Provenance to quote in the diff

The 2026-08-25 ruling above (untranslated), beside the 2026-08-13 「finding 恒 = 待首次定级」 opinion and the 2026-08-07 sweep-promotion approval it composes with. Governed face: draft + human merge. Clause-②: no.

    Provenance addendum (maintainer, 2026-08-25, same conversation, verbatim): 「现在挤压这么多,是因为有一段时间我没token停了分诊,并且改成了两小时一次」 — the current backlog is an OUTAGE accumulation (triage paused for a stretch on token budget, cadence later changed to 2-hourly), not steady-state inflow exceeding throughput.

    For the diff's rationale prose: this is the strongest argument FOR the ruled run-to-empty shape — a per-round budget never recovers from an outage (it amortizes the backlog over dozens of fires while new cards keep aging), while run-to-empty self-heals on the first fire after supply returns. The inflow-alarm semantic in the card stands, with this calibration: a persistent >15 backlog counts as an alarm only when it survives consecutive COMPLETED run-to-empty fires — an outage gap is expected to produce a spike and one long recovery round, which is by design.

    Claim (same stroke): branch claude/issue-11972-triage-run-to-empty, worktree objectstack-11972-triage-empty. File surface: .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md 「发现分诊轮」 + references/dispatch-runbook.md batch-parameter block, ceilings paid by consolidation. Governed draft + human merge. Clause-②: no.

The repo's own convention for these ceilinged surfaces settles the tie the same way: check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs's header states 'provenance is one line; stories live on cards, not in operational text'. The outage narrative is provenance/story; the rule it produced (alarm only once a >15 backlog survives consecutive COMPLETED run-to-empty fires) IS in the doc.

The runbook block carried only the 15–20 batch parameter and the sweep five rules.

    ACCEPT — PR #11988 (draft; governed surface ⇒ human merge, joins the maintainer's merge list).

    Review of record — verified against the fetched branch (full git diff origin/main..., line counts and quote presence re-derived locally), not the report's self-description:

    • The ruling is implemented exactly, where each piece actually lived. SKILL.md 「发现分诊轮」: the 3–5/round budget is replaced by 每 fire 跑到清空 (⛔ 无每轮总量预算), quality held by 每批 ≤5 张同族卡逐张读, the 2026-08-25 ruling quoted byte-verbatim at the point the rule is stated (exact-string grep = 1 hit), plus the long-run-acceptable and label-discipline-as-checkpoint resume clauses. The card's premise error — it placed the >15 ⇒ 集中轮 trigger in the runbook when it actually lived in SKILL.md's 自动集中轮 sentence — was caught, declared, and implemented in effect: the trigger is deleted where it lived, its successor (积压告警) written where the card asked.
    • The alarm calibration is the addendum's, verbatim in substance: 「连续 COMPLETED 清空 fire 后仍 >15 ⇒ 入流 > 吞吐,报维护者」 — a raw count is no longer a mode switch; only survival across completed run-to-empty fires separates inflow-above-capacity from an outage spike the next fire clears.
    • Deviation accepted (outage quote in PR body + card, not the runbook): dispatch-runbook.md sits at 274/274 with zero headroom and the repo's own ratchet-header convention is "provenance is one line; stories live on cards". The operative rule the outage story produced IS in the doc; the story stays on this card's addendum (5404702855) and the PR rationale. Right call.
    • Ceilings: SKILL.md lowered 1008 → 1005 (shrink-only, the always-legitimate direction; registry comment documents the payment), runbook 274 → 274 net-zero. Nothing raised. The untouched 出处 paragraph and sweep 五条 spliced through; superseded 旧 hold 重验不占预算 correctly dropped with its ordering re-encoded as 优先于旧卡重验.
    • Checks: 14 derived families + nul-bytes, 15/15 green with quoted verdict lines; no changeset needed (.claude/** + scripts/pm/**, nothing published). Label deviation (whole-set write after classifier denied the additive POST, post-labeler, read back clean) is acceptable mechanics.
    • Git-first spot-check (per the row landing in sibling PR review-checklist: add the git-first spot-check row, paid by in-place compression #11987): evidence is local git/gates throughout; API writes are label/report mechanics git cannot carry. Nothing to flag.

    Effective immediately for this seat: my own triage fires now run under this ruling — run to empty, ≤5-card same-family batches — without waiting for the doc merge; the doc PR records it. Landing todo: on merge the card closes via Closes #11972; pm:dispatched comes off in the same stroke.
