Ground the session: confirm identity, read spec, and gather prior context
Agent called whoami() to confirm Solo process 993 / project 56 (flower-wt2), read the dispatch scratchpad #1038 and the canonical brief #77 via recall_brief, and performed a recall_search plus memory grep to understand the stale-MCP enum crash class and existing design decisions.
outcome
Confirmed identity and fully understood the problem: recall read paths crash with ValueError when hydrating unknown enum backing values from stale MCP processes.
next steps
—
key decisions
- Fix only the read/serialization path, not write paths.
- Audit all enums surfaced in recall tools (BriefOrigin, BriefStatus, DaemonRole, DaemonStatus, HarnessType, IngestState, SegmentStatus, SessionStatus, DispatchStatus, BriefEventKind, etc.)

Implement safe enum read helper and wire recall readers through it, then commit and verify
Agent audited enum casts across models, recall services, and tools; created SafeEnumValue helper in app/Support/SafeEnumValue.php; patched RecallService, SessionLifecycleClassifier, ActiveSessionService, DatabaseSearchService, DaemonRosterService, BriefRelationService, OperatorInboxService, and MCP tools (RecallDispatchQueueTool, BriefOpenQuestionsTool, FlowerSessionRawTool) to use safe enum reads; wrote regression tests; staged all 12 files; linted; committed as d079f9d on branch flower/enum-hydration with 392 insertions and 63 deletions.
outcome
Commit d079f9d on flower/enum-hydration with 12 files changed (392 insertions, 63 deletions); full test suite passes (571/572, 1 skipped).
next steps
—
key decisions
- Use SafeEnumValue helper to return raw backing value when enum cast fails (ValueError) or enum is null
- Keep write paths strict so mutators still throw on unknown values
- Only patch read paths that produce MCP or UI payloads; leave write-only tools and relation logic unchanged
- Use nullsafe operator (?->value) plus fallback to raw string via helper to avoid crashes on stale DB rows

Build canonical actor_ref for daemons
The agent confirmed identity, read the scratchpad and brief, explored existing code, then created DaemonActorRef support class with canonical() and normalize() methods, added an actor_ref column to daemon_agents via migration, updated DaemonRosterService to persist canonical ref on checkin/registerExpected, updated DaemonPipelineService to prefer the new column, created the BackfillDaemonActorRef command with dry-run mode, and updated AgentConventions to mention canonical ref. All focused unit/feature tests passed.
outcome
All new files created and focused tests passing; pending full suite run.
next steps
- Run full test suite
- Commit with Brief #82 trailer
key decisions
- Canonical scheme: flower-<role> for platform daemons, <project-slug>-<role> for project daemons
- normalize() returns null for operator:/system: refs and non-daemon refs
- Backfill uses normalize() and never touches operator:/system:
- DaemonPipelineService prefers actor_ref column when present, retains role/meta/session fallback
- No model fillable entry needed because DaemonAgent uses guarded = []

Fix query budget regression in DaemonPipelineService
After running the full test suite, a regression was found: the new pipeline code added an extra query exceeding the roster query budget. The agent diagnosed the cause by reading the audit test and DaemonRosterService, then patched DaemonPipelineService to reuse the eager-loaded project relation. The fix was verified by running both the pipeline test and the query efficiency audit test, and then the full suite passed (593 passed, 1 skipped).
outcome
Query budget restored; full suite green after fix.
next steps
—
key decisions
- Reuse already-eager-loaded project relation instead of adding another query.

Strengthen backfill dry-run test for robustness
After the query fix, the agent reviewed the full diff and noticed the backfill dry-run test relied on flaky console output matchers. Strengthened it by parsing the command's JSON output directly. Applied the test patch and verified with a focused test run.
outcome
BackfillDaemonActorRefCommandTest now asserts JSON report directly; both dry-run and real-run tests pass.
next steps
—
key decisions
- Parse JSON output in backfill dry-run test instead of relying on Laravel's line matcher for robustness.

Build the orchestrator coordination queue substrate and wire all consumers (roster poke, feedback routing, MCP tools, conventions)
Confirmed Solo process and read scratchpad/brief #84. Inspected existing FeedbackPromotionService (uses Solo KV/timer), Livewire Roster (poke disabled), MCP tools, SoloClient. Created migration (daemon_signals table), model DaemonSignal, and CoordinationQueue service with enqueue (with dedupe), pending, claim, complete, fail. Updated FeedbackPromotionService to enqueue('route_feedback', ...) instead of Solo KV/timerSet; added @deprecation comments to retired SoloClient methods (kvGet, kvSet, timerSet). Updated Roster/Index Livewire to enqueue('poke', ...) and show notice. Added orchestrator drain protocol to AgentConventions and updated DaemonCharterDefaults. Created five new MCP tools: RecallSignalsTool, SignalClaimTool, SignalCompleteTool, SignalFailTool, DaemonPokeTool; registered them in FlowerServer. Added sqlite tests: CoordinationQueueTest (lifecycle), IndexTest (poke enqueue), FeedbackPromotionServiceTest (guards against Solo KV/timer/spawn), CoordinationSignalToolsTest (MCP tools), AgentConventionsTest (drain protocol). All code changes are staged but not yet run through Pint or committed.
outcome
Code for daemon_signals migration, model, CoordinationQueue service, roster wiring, feedback rewiring, AgentConventions updates, five new MCP tools, and corresponding sqlite tests are written and applied via patches.
next steps
- Run `./vendor/bin/pint` to fix style
- Run full test suite (./vendor/bin/phpunit) to confirm green
- Fix any test failures or lint issues
- Commit to flower/coordination-queue with `Brief: #84` trailer
- Do NOT merge or push
key decisions
- Use a database-backed daemon_signals table for coordination instead of Solo KV/timerSet (which are unavailable in solo-cli 0.9.3)
- Dedupe identical pending signals by (kind, target_daemon_id, status=pending) to avoid stacking multiple pokes or route_feedback signals
- Retire live SoloClient methods (kvGet, kvSet, timerSet) by adding @deprecation comment and marking them as unused; the Fake SoloClient in tests throws if they are called
- Roster poke button now enqueues a 'poke' signal and shows a notice, instead of being disabled
- FeedbackPromotionService now enqueues 'route_feedback' signal for the orchestrator to pick up, removing the old routed_pending/timerSet wake path
- MCP tools (recall_signals, signal_claim/complete/fail, daemon_poke) are read-only with respect to actual Solo processes; they only manipulate daemon_signals records

Confirm identity and read orientation materials for Brief #76
The agent ran whoami() to confirm Solo process 993 in project 56, then read scratchpad #1051 and recalled brief #76 to get the full operator-locked design for the daemon self-reset feature.
outcome
Agent confirmed identity and has the full spec for the make-before-break reset handshake, baton mechanism, and N-closes-O semantics.

Survey existing daemon infrastructure for reset integration
The agent reads the current branch status, searches for relevant code patterns (self-reset, CloseDaemon, SpawnDaemonBridge, CoordinationQueue, baton, reset_state), and reads key source files including SpawnDaemonBridge, CloseDaemon, DaemonWinddownState, DaemonRole, DaemonStatus, config/flower.php, DaemonRosterService, DaemonAgent model, CoordinationQueue, migrations, Livewire Roster Index, daemon-row blade, MCP tools (DaemonPokeTool, DaemonRequestWinddownTool), test doubles (EnsureFakeSpawnBridge), and test files (CoordinationQueueTest, IndexTest, CoordinationSignalToolsTest, CloseDaemonTest, SpawnDaemonBridgeTest, AgentConventionsTest). The goal is to understand the existing spawn/close/queue/roster contracts so the reset state machine can compose them without adding a parallel control path.
outcome
All key daemon source files and tests have been read; the agent has a clear picture of the existing winddown/close lifecycle, coordination queue, roster checkin, and MCP tool surfaces.
next steps
- Implement the DaemonResetState enum and migration
- Add reset_state column to daemon_agents model casts
- Create DaemonResetService with make-before-break orchestration
- Add KIND_RESET signal kind to CoordinationQueue
- Add reset action to Livewire roster UI and MCP tool
- Write tests for the reset state machine
key decisions
- Reset will reuse existing spawn/close contracts rather than inventing a parallel control path
- Baton (active orchestrator daemon id) will be stored in settings as daemon_reset.active_orchestrator_daemon_id for single source of truth
- Reset state will be its own enum/casts, separate from winddown
open questions
- Exact reset state machine transitions (states and allowed transitions)
- How the context-threshold scheduler (future Brief #86) will trigger the reset path

Implement and commit daemon self-reset orchestration (Brief #76)
Added DaemonResetState enum, migration for reset_state column on daemon_agents, updated DaemonAgent model and DaemonRosterService. Created DaemonResetService with make-before-break handoff, successor-ready gating, baton via settings, and retry/backoff. Added MCP tools DaemonRequestResetTool and DaemonSuccessorReadyTool, registered them on FlowerServer. Updated roster Livewire and Blade to show reset state and reset action (queued only). Extended CoordinationQueue with reset/enqueue helpers. Updated AgentConventions for successor protocol. Wrote comprehensive sqlite tests for the reset state machine, MCP tools, roster view, and conventions. Fixed a stale-model bug by re-reading daemon from DB after updates. After a return-shape fix in DaemonResetService, ran Pint and full test suite (626 tests, 625 passed, 1 skipped, 4403 assertions). Staged all 19 reset-related files, verified whitespace and cached diff, then committed with the 'Brief: #76' trailer on branch flower/daemon-self-reset. No merge or push.
outcome
Commit ee6df4b created on flower/daemon-self-reset (19 files changed, 1370 insertions, 2 deletions).
next steps
—
key decisions
- Baton stored as a single settings row (daemon_reset.active_orchestrator_daemon_id) for atomic compare-and-swap invariant.
- Reset is queue-only: the roster click enqueues a signal, does not directly spawn/close daemons.
- Make-before-break handoff: predecessor stays live until successor checks in and signals successor_ready.
- Service methods re-read daemon model by ID after updates to avoid stale instance state.
- MCP tools require actor_ref validation matching existing daemon tool conventions.
- Explicitly staged only the reset implementation and test files.
- Fixed return-shape of reset-retired result to override the daemon key from close result.

Implement context-threshold auto-reset scheduler for daemon agents
The agent performed initial identity verification and spec reading, then inspected the relevant services (DaemonRosterService, CoordinationQueue, DaemonAgent, etc.). It applied patches to add a database migration for the reset_pending flag, cast and attribute on DaemonAgent, config option reset.context_threshold_tokens, detection logic in checkin(), hold-new-work gating in CoordinationQueue (hiding pending signals targeted at reset_pending daemons from recall_signals), roster badge in the blade view, and updated AgentConventions with the finish-and-stop-pulling protocol. Sqlite tests were added for detection, queue hold, badge, and conventions. All syntax checks passed. The suite has not been run yet; pint and commit remain.
outcome
All code changes are in place: migration, model, config, service detection, queue gating, UI badge, conventions text, and test additions. No live migration, no test execution, no commit.
next steps
- Run the full test suite to confirm green
- Run ./vendor/bin/pint for code style
- Commit with Brief: #86 trailer on branch flower/context-threshold-reset
- Report files changed and test summary
key decisions
- Added a dedicated reset_pending boolean column instead of overloading existing reset_state
- Detection uses linked session usage as primary context source, falling back to checkin context_size
- Hold-new-work is enforced in CoordinationQueue::pending() by filtering out signals with non-reset kinds when the target daemon is reset_pending; reset lifecycle signals remain claimable
- Environment-overridable config under reset.context_threshold_tokens defaulting to 400000
