Audit Brief #126 spec and perform Step 0 audit of Brief #98

Done

Loaded the recall_brief, brief_append, brief_dispatch_complete, and flower_feedback MCP tools. Read Brief #126 via recall_brief, which confirmed it is dispatched and contains the full spec in its first note. Then read Brief #98 via recall_brief to understand what was already shipped. Grepped the codebase for auto_dispatch_on_planned, daemon_signals, coordination, DispatchService, and auto_max_concurrent to audit existing infrastructure. Found that Brief #98 shipped the UI toggle, recall queue surfacing, cap config, and orchestrator charter text that polls recall_dispatch_queue, but the durable coordination signal and concrete handler path are missing.

outcome

Clear gap identified: Brief #98 added queue visibility and cap config but no signal-based wiring; Brief #126 must add the coordination signal and handler.

key decisions

  • The new implementation should only fill the gap rather than reworking the prior dispatch queue behavior.
  • The trigger will no-op if there is no eligible orchestrator rather than queueing an unclaimable signal.

segment 2 of 3

Create branch and read existing code paths for auto-dispatch wiring

Done

Checked git status (clean on flower/115-reset-name-dedup), then created branch flower/126-auto-dispatch-wiring from master without checking out master directly. Read the full BriefService, DispatchService, CoordinationQueue, DaemonSignal model, daemon_signals migration, FlowerServer MCP tool registration, BriefDispatchTool, RecallSignalsTool, DispatchRequest model and migration, DispatchStatus enum, DaemonAgent model, DaemonRole enum, DaemonStatus enum, and Project model. Also read the existing dispatch test setup and the live-orchestrator lookup pattern in FeedbackPromotionService.

outcome

Branch created and all relevant code paths read; the existing dispatchable query already has core guard rails (planned, not approval-gated, unblocked, no queued/claimed/spawned request).

next steps

  • Implement the AutoDispatchService with enqueue and drain-handler methods.
  • Add the auto_dispatch signal kind to CoordinationQueue.
  • Create the MCP tool for the orchestrator to call after claiming the signal.
  • Write tests for enqueue-on-flag+planned, no-enqueue when unflagged/blocked/already-dispatched, and drain handler dispatches + respects the cap.

key decisions

  • The auto-dispatch handler can mark the existing recommended JSON with an auto_dispatch block and count active requests using that key, avoiding a schema change.
  • The target daemon should be the project's active orchestrator, mirroring the live-orchestrator lookup in FeedbackPromotionService.
  • The trigger tests can stay at the service/database layer; the consumer test will exercise the real DispatchService.

segment 3 of 3

Implement auto-dispatch signal trigger and consumer for briefs

Abandoned

The assistant audited existing dispatch/signal code, then created AutoDispatchService, added a public eligibility check to DispatchService, wired the status transition trigger in BriefService to enqueue only on non-planned to planned transitions, added the MCP consumer tool BriefAutoDispatchSignalTool, registered it in FlowerServer, updated AgentConventions, and updated the Livewire toggle copy. Testing is pending.

outcome

AutoDispatchService, BriefAutoDispatchSignalTool, and trigger wiring are in place; tests are pending.

next steps

  • Add feature tests for enqueue on flagged planned, no enqueue for guard rails, and claimed-signal dispatch with cap deferral.
  • Run the requested test suite and Pint.
  • Commit and complete brief dispatch.

key decisions

  • Trigger fires only on actual transitions into 'planned', not on repeated saves.
  • Consumer re-checks eligibility at drain time before dispatching.
  • MCP tool completes or requeues the signal itself, matching the live drain flow.
