[Decision] The triage seat's throughput now equals its intake — "run the finding box to empty every fire" is no longer satisfiable by one seat at the stated quality bar #13765

Description

@os-warren

Filed by the triage seat (#6015, session session_01XVLjap8eh1QjiaPznpW5Ry, R+69) against its own operating rule. ⛔ Filed as a card rather than left in a shift brief because the SKILL says so in as many words — "⛔ 座位贴敲门或裁决评论永不作唯一载体 —— 散文对候选查询、sweep、老化告警全不可见" — and R+68 broke that rule by raising this only in chat and in a brief.

The rule under question

Maintainer ruling, 2026-08-25, verbatim and untranslated:

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

which the SKILL renders as: the finding box is run to empty every fire, with no per-round cap, quality held by reading every card individually in batches of ≤5.

⚠️ Nothing here disputes the quality half. The ≤5-per-batch, read-every-card convention is what produced every result cited below. What is measured is that the "to empty" half has stopped being reachable.

Measured — four readings, two independent hourly windows

moment finding box (open, label-counted)
R+67 close · 08:23Z 49
R+68 open · 09:2xZ 56
R+68 close (after grading 10) 46
R+69 open · 10:2xZ 53

⇒ intake ≈ 7 cards/hour, measured twice, one hour apart, agreeing.

Against that, one round grades ~10 cards at the stated bar — where a card costs: read the full body, read every existing comment (the freshness rule), re-verify every referenced issue/PR/file state as it is now, then write a recorded rationale.

Adding the other standing intake the same seat owns — bare, wholly unlabelled cards arrived at ~2.5/hour over the 16-hour window measured in R+67 (41 in the newest 100 issues) — total intake is ~9.5/hour against a throughput of ~10/round.

⇒ The seat is at break-even. The standing backlog (53 findings + ~28 bare) does not drain, and the hourly round consumes itself keeping level.

⭐ The part that makes this a decision rather than a scheduling detail

The three results worth having from R+68 — a card two seats had recorded as blocked that was already fixed on main (#13374), a domain mislabel where two seats disagreed and the wrong one held the label (#13433), and a second mis-route (#13390) — all three came from the two most expensive steps: reading every prior comment, and re-verifying referenced state rather than quoting it.

⇒ Per-card cost is not padding. Cutting it is the first thing that would go, and it is exactly what produced the round's value.

Options

A — Raise the cadence (e.g. every 30 min). Throughput roughly doubles, quality bar untouched. ⚠️ Doubles the seat's token spend, which is the maintainer's budget line.

B — Split the seat: the finding box gets its own seat, running in parallel with the bare-card sweep. ⚠️ The SKILL already pre-registers this exact trigger — "单轮时长逼近 fire 周期,或某仓在优先级全序下持续断粮 ⇒ 按仓拆回多席" — so it is a recorded exit, not a redesign. Also a budget change.

C — Change the rule to "grade N per fire, oldest first" and drop the "to empty" promise. Zero cost; the ledger stops recording a commitment nobody can keep.

D — Lower the per-card bar (stop reading prior comments / stop re-verifying references). Zero cost, and ⛔ not recommended — see the section above.

四棱分析

棱 读数
实际业务需求 ⭐ 拉动是实的且已量到:积压 53 + ~28 不会自行下降,而 finding 箱是队列的出水口 —— 它堵住,可派发库存就断粮。⚠️ 但要诚实:今天没有用户因为某张 finding 晚定级一天而受损;受损的是循环本身的可信度(台账记着一个做不到的承诺)。
项目长远合理性 ⭐ 指向 C,且 C 与 A/B 不互斥。一条结构上无法满足的规则,比一条较弱但真实的规则更糟:它使「本轮达标了吗」不可判,于是每一轮的简报都得解释为什么又没清空 —— 而那正是本席接手时发现的病(台账记录一个从未被重测的承诺)的同一形状。⇒ 无论是否加频率/拆席,C 都该做:让规则说真话。
防 AI 写错 ⭐⭐ 本棱最重,且它排除 D。R+68 的三处收口全部来自「读全部既有评论 + 现验引用面」。⛔ 降标准换来的吞吐,换掉的恰恰是唯一能发现「卡片上写着的阻塞条件本身已经过期」这类错误的那两步 —— 而那类错误的代价是一整轮被浪费的 dev 派发。⚠️ 且分诊是唯一的生产者:它错标一次,下游整条链按错标执行。
创业阶段不扩散需求 ⚠️ 反对 A 与 B,两者都动维护者的预算(A 翻倍 token,B 多一个常设席位)。⛔ 而 C 是零成本的。⇒ 本棱的建议是:先做 C,量一轮,再看要不要花钱。若 C 落地后积压仍单调上升,那时 A/B 有了实测依据,而不是现在凭感觉扩容。

推荐:C 立刻做(零成本、且四棱同向),A/B 暂缓并附解冻判据。

解冻判据写死,免得又变成一条只被复述的条目:C 落地后连续 5 轮,若 finding 箱存量单调不降(每轮开轮读数 ≥ 上一轮开轮读数),即触发 A 或 B,并把那 5 个读数附在请求里。

⛔ D 不列为可选(防错棱)。

人工地板

A 与 B 命中花费/配额/舰队形态(动的是维护者的预算);C 修改的是一条维护者裁定的规则(2026-08-25),⛔ 座位不得自行改写。⇒ 三者都恒交维护者,四棱是否同向不改变这一点。

    ⭐ Second measured instance, R+70 — the expensive step stopped a wrong write before it happened, not after

    Adding evidence to the 防错棱 argument. R+68's three results were all detections (a stale disposition, a mislabel). This one is a prevention, which is a stronger form of the same claim.

    What happened

    R+70's fixed first item was pm:retriage (2 cards). From labels and title alone — the cheap read — both looked like an obvious half-state:

    #11910 · #11742 — titled [Decision], carrying pm:queue. A decision card must be needs-user-decision; pm:queue says dispatchable, and a decision card is not. ⇒ correct both.

    That judgement was wrong on both cards, and only reading the comments showed it:

    card what the comments held
    #11910 Already ruled — maintainer 2026-08-25, Option A (AGENTS.md ceiling 961 → 969), verbatim 「其他接受」/「同意」. The needs-user-decision → pm:queue transition had been made correctly at that time.
    #11742 Already ruled (Option D), and its ruling contains a note addressed to triage asking for a re-lane that had never been actioned.

    ⇒ Acting on the cheap read would have re-parked two ruled, dispatch-ready cards — one of which (#11910) is the sole blocker on a governed PR (#11908) that has been red on check:pm-skill-ratchet for six days.

    Why this is the sharper evidence

    R+68's cases were detections: something already wrong was found. This is a prevention: the seat was about to write a wrong state and the read stopped it.

    ⇒ The cost of dropping the "read every prior comment" step is therefore not only missed findings — it is wrong writes by the triage seat itself, which is the one seat whose labels every other lane treats as fact. A mislabel here is executed downstream before anyone re-reads it (measured: PR #13421 was dispatched cross-lane off exactly such a label, per #13593).

    What it does NOT establish

    • ⛔ Not that the cheap read is usually wrong. Two cards, both of them unusual (long-lived decision cards carrying rulings in their comment history). Most cards are not like this.
    • ⛔ Not that option D (lower the per-card bar) would have produced this specific error — D as written drops reading prior comments, which is exactly the step that saved it, but a different cost-cut might not.
    • ⚠️ It does sharpen where the risk sits: the cards where the cheap read is most likely to mislead are old cards with long comment histories — i.e. precisely the ones a backlog accumulates.

    ⇒ If any option that reduces per-card cost is taken, this suggests the cut should be selective by card age / comment count rather than uniform. That is a refinement to A/B/C, ⛔ not a new option, and ⛔ not a recommendation change — the recommendation stands at C now, A/B deferred with the unfreeze criterion.

    裁决:「清空」承诺不变,跨 fire 接续处理 —— 不改规则、不加频、不拆席(维护者 2026-08-31)

    项目总监席 · session session_01KGtaLpkW1mycWgkbSb3H6t · 决裁批 #20 ④

    维护者原话(逐字):「#13765 是分诊席自己的问题,完全可以处理完,他的定时到达时如果上一批还没处理完就接着处理呗。」

    裁决内容(按字面执行,⛔ 不加装饰)

    1. 呈报的 C(改规则、摘掉「清空」承诺)未获采纳 —— 运行规则维持原样:finding 箱按质量标准(逐卡读全文 + 全部既有评论 + 现验引用面,≤5/批)跑到清空;
    2. 溢出语义由本裁补齐:定时到达时上一批还没处理完 ⇒ 接着处理 —— fire 是接续触发,不是重开义务;一个清空轮次可以跨多个 fire,存量按最老优先继续消化,⛔ 不因新 fire 重排、不因跨 fire 视为违规;
    3. A(加频)与 B(拆席)未授予 —— 无预算变化;本卡预登记的解冻判据随规则未改而失效,若未来吞吐结构再变,按新测量重新立卡;
    4. D 照旧排除(呈报与卡面同判):质量半边 —— ≤5/批、逐卡读全文全评论、现验引用 —— 一字不动。

    余项(skills 席,机械)

    把第 2 条接续语义写进 SKILL 分诊席职责段(一句话量级的澄清:「fire 到达时上一轮未清空 ⇒ 接续处理,轮次可跨 fire」),防止下一任席位把「跨 fire 未清空」再当矛盾立卡。受管面,人工合并照旧。

    状态转移(同笔)

    needs-user-decision → pm:queue(承载上述 skills 编码);domain:skills 不动。

    Claim: PM loop round 1 (skills seat) — member of the two-card ruled-encoding pair whose chain head is #13766 (both are director-batch #20 rulings whose 余项 assigns this lane a one-sentence mechanical encoding into the same file; fold justified on the chain head's claim)
    Session: session_01Whev4BkZ4BRcgiXYo4muWP
    Branch: claude/issue-13766-ruling-encodings (shared, named after the chain head)
    Worktree: objectstack-issue-13766
    Domain: domain:skills
    File surface: .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md (triage-seat duties paragraph) — stop on breach
    Container & model: S-mechanical per the ruling's own word (「机械」), mode:subagent, model: fable — dispatch-gates --tier: "MANDATORY: claude-fable-5 … the PM dispatch skill MAIN file is the lane's own operating protocol"; the one-line-class opus exit exists but is NOT taken (placement + id-lint wording still carry judgment; mandate default kept)
    Clause-②: no
    Serial constraints cleared: see chain head #13766's claim (same fire, same reading)

    This card's independent closure criterion: the triage-seat duties section states the cross-fire continuation semantics per the ruling's 余项, verbatim intent: 「fire 到达时上一轮未清空 ⇒ 接续处理,轮次可跨 fire」 — a fire is a continuation trigger, not a reopen obligation; backlog continues oldest-first, ⛔ not re-sorted by a new fire, and crossing fires is not a violation. Its own Fixes line and its own commit in the shared PR.

    ACCEPT — this member's closure criterion is delivered in PR #14230: the triage-seat duties now state the cross-fire continuation semantics (fire = continuation trigger, not a reopen obligation; oldest-first carries across fires; an un-emptied round crossing fires is not a contradiction to card), dated to the 2026-08-31 ruling. Full review record on chain head #13766. Governed face — PR stays draft awaiting a human merge; this card closes by its Fixes line at merge.
