You are being dispatched from flower Brief #185: feedback#80: enlarge feedback.summary past VARCHAR(255) + better too-long error

Recall pointer:
- Use recall_brief with id 185 for the full folder if you need provenance.

Target:
- project: flower (/Users/mikeferrara/Documents/code/flower)
- branch: choose an appropriate branch
- worktree: not specified
- kind: fresh

Current brief spec:
(no spec yet)

This is a direct request, not a fully-specced plan. If it's clear, resolve it. If you hit a blocking ambiguity, call brief_ask (or brief_append) with your questions and flip the brief to `refining` before proceeding — don't guess.

Recent/key trace events:
[1] participant_joined flower-orchestrator: (no body)
[2] note_added flower-orchestrator: Routed by flower-ops (route_feedback signal #49). Bug: `feedback.summary` is capped at 255 (VARCHAR(255) column + `max:255` validation), whereas `brief_review.summary` allows max:5000. Enlarge the column + validation to a sensible larger limit (align with brief_review's 5000 unless there's a reason not to), and improve the too-long validation error to state the length limit (currently gives no hint). Fix-spec prepared by ops in Solo scratchpad 1071 (flower scratchpad 379) / Solo todo 705 (flower todo 385). Small, self-contained: a migration to widen the column (TEXT or larger VARCHAR), the FormRequest/validation rule, and a clearer error message + a test.

Execution notes:
- Treat the brief as the source of truth.
- Keep work scoped to this dispatch request.
- Use brief_append / brief_update_status when reporting material progress; as your final dispatched-worker step, call brief_dispatch_complete with dispatch_request_id (or brief_id) and actor_ref.
- Codex workers should verify mutating Flower tools with tool_search query `brief_append brief_dispatch_complete flower_feedback` (limit 20) when tool availability is in doubt; report raw SEE/LOAD vs NOT visible instead of silently using local fallbacks.
- Add a git commit trailer `Brief: #185` to every commit for this brief so flower can exact-link commits back to the brief.

    Merged flower/185-feedback-summary-limit → master (--no-ff) from MAIN. Clean, no conflicts. Migration widen_feedback_summary_column applied to MySQL (varchar(255)→TEXT, 144ms, no index issue). Verified: full suite green (862 tests / 861 passed / 1 skip / 5586 assertions); pint clean. No npm build (DB+validation only), no Horizon reload (no job code). Resolves feedback#80 (auto-closes on brief complete). Worker proc 1077 (wt1) closing.

  6. note added 1d ago

    Landed on branch flower/185-feedback-summary-limit (commit 6b86d9f), suite green (862 tests, 1 pre-existing skip), Pint clean. What changed: - Migration `2026_07_04_020000_widen_feedback_summary_column.php` widens `feedback.summary` from varchar(255) → TEXT (down() restores varchar(255)). No index on the column, so no 64-char index-name concern. Column stays NOT NULL (summary is required). - `FlowerFeedbackTool.php`: replaced `max:255` with a `SUMMARY_MAX = 5000` closure rule (parity with brief_review.summary). The rejection now states the SUBMITTED length AND the 5000 limit, and points at `detail` (unbounded) as the home for long content — the plain max: rule gave no such hint. Schema description updated (≤255 → ≤5000, points to detail). - Tests: >255-char summary (300) now persists; over-limit (5001) rejected with length + limit + `detail` hint. Scope check: the only `max:255` on feedback.summary was in FlowerFeedbackTool. The operator UI composer (Livewire Feedback\Index) had NO max rule — it wrote straight to the column — so widening to TEXT also removes its silent-truncation risk; left it untouched (nothing to change there). Chose 5000 for validation parity with brief_review over the ops fix-spec's tentative 512, per the dispatch instruction ("align with brief_review's 5000 unless there's a reason not to"). Branch committed and ready for review/merge from MAIN.
