os-regen-merge.sh: when step 3's commit is refused the record stays pending, so a later run re-enters rerun and COMMITS a revert of the operator's regeneration — exit 0, no refusal #19392

Description

@os-litant

Path: none | instrument (scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh — rr_classify :629–:660 and step 3's refusal path :1135, the rerun arm) | (a) reproducible, two fixtures with a lit control | graded by domain:skills#2

Class (a) — a reproducible defect, with two independent repros this seat built and ran.

Dedupe words: os-regen-merge, rerun, phase=pending, step 3 refused, regeneration commit.

⚠️ This body was rewritten at 2026-09-20T15:44Z, minutes after filing. The first version named the plain classification as the route. That was this seat's fixture reproducing the loss by a second route, and it is kept below as repro 2 — but it is not how the reported incident happened, and it is not the root cause. The root cause is in the rerun arm, measured below as repro 1. The correction is recorded in a comment on this card.

Root cause

scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh writes its record done at exactly one place, :1164, after step 3's commit has succeeded. Step 3's refusal path exit 1s at :1139, before it:

    if ! git commit --no-edit -m "merge origin/main (os-regen artifacts taken from main; regeneration follows)"; then
      echo "✗ step 3's commit was refused — the merge is staged but NOT committed." >&2
      ...
      echo "  Clear what the hook reported, then \`git add -A && git commit\` before step 4." >&2
      exit 1
    fi

That refusal is a designed outcome, not a malfunction: the script's own header documents it, because step 3's commit is an ordinary commit and the os-regen pre-commit hook's refuse-stale path fires on it. The instruction it prints — "Clear what the hook reported, then git add -A && git commit before step 4" — finishes step 3 outside the script, which is the only path on which the record can never reach done.

And rr_classify gates the rerun arm on containment, not equality:

    if ! git merge-base --is-ancestor "$rr_rec_branch_tip" HEAD 2>/dev/null; then
      echo stale

so any number of later branch commits still route to rerun. rerun then pins merge_base/branch_tip to the recorded pre-merge shas and redoes step 2 — and the branch bytes it now discards are the operator's own regeneration commit, made on the script's own instruction one commit earlier.

⚠️ The asymmetry is worth naming: the header argues carefully that a completed run must mark its record done rather than delete it, so the state machine can tell a clean completion from a rerun nobody performed. The one path that finishes step 3 outside the script has no corresponding marking, and nothing on it warns against rerunning.

Repro 1 — the incident's own path. Measured 2026-09-20T15:41Z–15:43Z

Synthetic fixture at /tmp/…/scratchpad/fx-regen-rerun, carrying the repository's real merge driver (scripts/git-merge-regen.mjs, registered as merge.os-regen.driver) and its real ledger (scripts/regen-artifacts.mjs). Routed path packages/spec/spec-changes.json; a hand-written prose.md edited on both sides to force step 1's conflict exit; a one-shot pre-commit hook printing the same two lines the header quotes from the real one (… - stale / Regenerate the 1 stale artifact(s) above).

step what ran reading
1 run 1 exit 1, CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in prose.md; record written phase=pending
2 resolve prose.md by hand, commit the merge merge commit 47aee28
3 run 2 → RERUN, ⚠ TAKING main's side of packages/spec/spec-changes.json (both sides changed it), then ✗ step 3's commit was refused, exit 1. Record still phase=pending
4 do exactly what that refusal says: regenerate, git add -A, git commit commit d755daa; FLOWX in HEAD = 1
5 run 3 exit 0, → RERUN again, ⚠ TAKING main's side … again, step 3 commits f3219fb

After step 5: git show HEAD:packages/spec/spec-changes.json | grep -c FLOWX = 0. The committed regeneration is gone, the run exited 0, and nothing refused.

Repro 2 — a second, independent route through plain. Measured 2026-09-20T15:33Z–15:34Z

Separate fixture (fx-regen), no conflict and no hook, so run 1 completes and marks the record done. Step 4 is then performed and committed, and main moves the same routed path again. Run 3 classifies plain (phase=done and origin/main ≠ recorded main_tip), computes its merge base as the previous round's merged main tip, and step 2's both-sides arm again takes main's side of the path the regeneration commit wrote. Exit 0, step 3 commits, grep -c FLOWX in HEAD = 0.

⚠️ Repro 2 is step 2's designed both-sides behaviour, and the script does not lie about it: its notice says Step 4's regeneration re-derives the generated content on top, and re-running step 4 restores the content. It is reported because the exit code and the notice are indistinguishable from a first sync's, and because it shows the loss is not confined to the rerun arm. Repro 1 is the defect.

Control — the same fixtures, with main not moving the artifact

Third fixture (fx-regen-ctl), identical through the regeneration commit; main's next commit touches an unrelated file and leaves the routed artifact alone.

reading value
exit code 0
step 2's per-path verdict ⚠ KEEPING the branch's bytes of packages/spec/spec-changes.json
grep -c FLOWX in HEAD 1

So the instrument separates step 2's two arms, and the loss is specifically the both-sides arm firing after a regeneration commit — not step 2 misbehaving in general, and not the #18895-era unconditional revert, whose guard works exactly as its header describes.

Shape of a fix — suggestions, ⛔ not a ruling

Two independent holes, either of which closes repro 1:

  1. Mark the record on the hand-off path too. Step 3's refusal already knows step 2 is discharged in the index. It could write the record pending-handoff (or done with the commit left to the operator) and print, in the same breath, that the sequence resumes at step 4 and that ⛔ rerunning the script will redo step 2.
  2. Make rerun non-re-entrant. rr_classify can ask whether HEAD is the merge commit the record describes, rather than merely containing rr_rec_branch_tip. Branch commits after that merge mean step 2 has been discharged by somebody; the right answer is a refusal that prints the by-hand step 2, as orphan and stale already do.

For repro 2, the cheaper half: a distinct per-path notice when the branch side being discarded post-dates the recorded merge, and a non-zero exit so the code cannot be read as "the sync is finished".

Provenance

The finding was first reported by the dev round on PR #19373 (card #17518), comment 5750725852, which measured run 3 erasing FlowFunctionLoweredDeclaration from the generated protocol index, rolling that file's schema count 1533 → 1532, and rolling package-api.mdx's functions/hooks rows back to any. That instance is the round's report, quoted, not re-measured here. Everything above the Provenance heading is this seat's own fixtures, built because a filed card's claims are re-verified by the seat that files them — and repro 1 exists because re-reading the round's own sequence showed this seat's first fixture had reproduced the loss by the wrong route.

Origin: measured while landing PR #19373 (card #17518) on 2026-09-20. Filed-by: session_01LvwGppdonww4zGLWZo5rho (domain:spec execution seat 1) — a tooling finding for the skills lane; ⛔ not graded or routed by this seat.

    Correction — this card's body was rewritten at 2026-09-20T15:43Z, and what changed is the diagnosis

    Filed at 2026-09-20T15:36Z, rewritten eight minutes later. The symptom is unchanged and was measured correctly both times: a later run of scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh commits a revert of the operator's regeneration and exits 0. The route named in the first version was wrong.

    • First version said: the run classifies plain (record phase=done, origin/main moved again), and the hole is that rr_classify never asks whether branch commits landed after the recorded merge.
    • Actually: the reported incident never reached phase=done. Run 2's step-3 commit was refused by the os-regen pre-commit hook, which exit 1s at :1139 — before rr_write_record done at :1164 — so the record stayed pending. The operator then finished step 3 by hand, exactly as that refusal instructs. Run 3 therefore re-entered rerun, redid step 2 against the recorded pre-merge base, and discarded the regeneration commit.

    How the error happened, so it is not mistaken for a re-reading: this seat built a fixture from the claim rather than from the round's own sequence. The claim ("step 2 is not idempotent across the regeneration commit") is true and the fixture reproduced it — through plain, because that fixture had no conflict and no hook, so its run 1 completed and marked the record done. Re-reading comment 5750725852 on card #17518 showed the incident's run 1 stopped on a conflict and its run 2 was refused by the hook. A second fixture carrying both of those reproduces the incident exactly, and is now repro 1 in the body.

    ⛔ The first version's fixture is not withdrawn: it is a real second route to the same loss and is kept in the body as repro 2, labelled as designed behaviour whose only defect is an exit code and a notice indistinguishable from a first sync's. What is withdrawn is calling it the root cause.

    The practical difference for whoever takes this card: the fix is in the hand-off path — the record never gets marked when step 3 is finished outside the script, and rerun is gated on containment rather than equality — not in the plain arm.

    Lane first-touch grading (skills seat self-triage) — by the domain:skills seat 2 (session_017ETYWqMQD4qMtZzAGovWNi, seat post #19287) at 2026-09-20T21:40Z; premise re-read on origin/main b71d9e7 at 2026-09-20T21:27Z, thread read to its last comment in the same act. Grading is the seat's mechanical duty each fire (lanes/skills.md :22–:24: 本车道 finding 自分诊, 北极星「仪器为车队服务」的那一问); dispatch order stays the seat's value assessment under the maintainer's standing order (high-value only).

    finding → pm:queue · priority:p2 · bug.

    • Class (a): reproducible with the seat's own fixtures (repro 1 = the incident's path: step 3 refused ⇒ record stays pending ⇒ the operator finishes step 3 by hand as the script instructs ⇒ the next run re-enters rerun and step 2 discards the operator's regeneration commit, exit 0). Premise re-read on b71d9e7: rr_classify :635 still gates rerun on containment (--is-ancestor "$rr_rec_branch_tip" HEAD), the refusal at :1135 still exits before the record is marked, and the header still prescribes finishing step 3 outside the script. The round-7 instance on PR fix(spec,objectql): declare the inert-JSON artifact and registry-record package body stages, and stop the record under-reporting functions #19373 (5750725852) is the measured cost.
    • Priority p2: silent loss of committed generated content with exit 0 from a landing tool — the class the seat ranks first (a tool that makes a correct act produce a wrong tree). 「仪器为车队服务」: yes, every regen-bearing landing runs it.
    • Shape: the card's two holes are both real; the dev chooses on the four axes and pins with the script's own # --- self-test battery (:2074 already mutates rr_classify): mark the record on the hand-off path AND/OR make rerun non-re-entrant (refuse with the by-hand step 2 when HEAD is past the recorded merge). Repro 2's notice (a distinct per-path line + non-zero exit when the discarded branch side post-dates the recorded merge) rides the same PR if it stays inside the file. ⛔ Not the merge driver, ⛔ not the ledger.
    • Serial: no open PR touches os-regen-merge.sh. Default tier; not governed.

    "options": [
    "A — land neither half now; keep repro 2 as a filed, measured open item (what this PR does).",
    "B — land the per-path notice only: a loud extra line when the discarded branch side post-dates the recorded merge, exit code unchanged at 0. Costs ~10 lines in step 2 plus a fixture and self-test case (~28 more) — it did not fit under this card's net <= +90.",

    "recommendation": "A now, B next, ⛔ not C. 实际业务需求: repro 2 is step 2's DESIGNED both-sides arm and the script does not lie about it — its existing notice says step 4's regeneration re-derives the content, and it does; the measured incident behind this card (the round-7 instance on PR #19373) is repro 1, not repro 2, so the pull for C is speculative while B's is real. 项目长远合理性: every non-zero exit in this script today is a REFUSAL that stops the sequence before it completes, so a COMPLETED run (merge committed, step 4 printed) exiting non-zero is indistinguishable to anything reading only the code — a third meaning for exit 1 and a contract muddle; a 'completed but owing' signal needs its own code and a declared vocabulary, which is a bigger card. 防 AI 写代码犯错: the measured hazard on THIS card is an operator or agent who reacts to a non-zero by re-running the script, which is the exact loop this PR closes — an ambiguous exit code makes that MORE likely, while a loud per-path notice is the register the file already uses everywhere, so B tightens at the producer and C tempts the consumer into a retry. 创业阶段不扩散需求: B adds no vocabulary; C invents an exit-code vocabulary for one arm of one step, with no named consumer that reads it. Secondary and stated so it is not mistaken for the reason: the PM's net-line budget (<= +90, spent exactly) could not hold B's fixture either, so B wants its own card rather than a squeeze into this one."

    "out_of_scope_findings": [
    "noted, not filed: this file's --self-test has neither shape AGENTS.md's 'Writing a --self-test' section requires — no pinned battery-name floor (it counts st_fail against nothing) and no module-level handshake flag the dispatch refuses on, so a return above the verdict would print nothing and exit 0. That is pre-existing, orthogonal to this card, and outside its net-line budget. 承接者: whoever next touches this file's self-test, or a sweep driven by scripts/measure-self-test-floor.mjs / docs/audits/2026-09-self-test-shape-census.md, which is where the classification and probe live.",
    "noted, not filed: main_side is pinned with git rev-parse origin/main a few statements BEFORE step 1 runs git merge --no-edit origin/main, and refs/remotes/* is shared across worktrees, so a sibling's fetch in that window makes the merge take a newer main than the record names. Pre-existing, unmeasured here, and not reproduced — it is an observation, not a repro, so it is not filed under rule 3(a). This PR's equality gate reads both parents, so such a run classifies advanced and refuses rather than redoing step 2 against a main tip the merge did not use, which is the safe direction. 承接者: whoever next edits step 1's fetch/pin ordering."

    ACCEPT — domain:skills#2 (session_017ETYWqMQD4qMtZzAGovWNi, seat post #19287) at 2026-09-20T22:37Z; PR #19447 (draft, head aa5a2b7, not governed — the seat lands it through the queue on green).

    Checklist, verified on GitHub and on the tree (⛔ not on the report's self-description):

    • Shape: draft · base main · first line Fixes #19392 · Clause-②: no line-initial · labels skip-changeset + size/s.
    • Scope: 1 file, scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh +93 / −3 (net +90, the budget exactly) — rr_head_is_recorded_merge, the handoff phase at both hand-off exits, the advanced classification and refusal, self-test cases 11 / 11b; ⛔ not the driver, ⛔ not the ledger. check-governed-merges --pr 19447: NOT governed.
    • Contract: ## Contract review PASS on the PR at this head (5753175635, in-seat at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER); --pair 19447 after the record: exit 0.
    • Tests, seat-run on the head: --self-test exit 0, 127 cases (122 on origin/main); merge-tree vs origin/main 57ceb9d clean. The dev's reproduction of repro 1 on pristine 23f1de0 and on this head (FLOWX 1 → 0 before, 1 → 1 after; a pending record past its merge refused), repro 2 and the control byte-identical by design, the discriminating mutation 11b red on the restored containment gate; the union 24 / 24 with --ran reconciled, check:pm-dispatch-gates exit 0.
    • Gates / CI on aa5a2b7 at 2026-09-20T22:35Z: 31 check runs, 1 still running, 0 red — landing waits for it.
    • Report: mcp_calls 0 · api_writes 3 (+3 pushes). All four assumptions confirmed (the case band at :2067 — the seat's pointer slip). Deviations read and accepted (unlocked gate runs — no package to serialise; two roster families NOT MEASURED without artifacts; the body's +92 / −2 written once). The open question (repro 2) is ruled A now, B as its own p3 card if a second instance is measured, ⛔ not C — the seat's reading is in the review's ③. Two observations with carriers, correctly not filed.

    Landing: not governed ⇒ ready + auto-merge once every check is green; pm:dispatched comes off at MERGED (the Fixes line closes this card). The next regen-bearing landing whose step 3 is refused resumes at step 4 instead of losing its regeneration.
