Reset flower ops daemon with successor handoff

next steps

—

key decisions

• Predecessor handoff includes reading the triage log scratchpad (1005) for inherited state
• Successor does NOT call daemon_reset_handoff; orchestrator owns the baton transfer
• Heartbeat timer armed at 13m interval, handoff poll timer at 90s

—

key decisions

• Triage pass confirmed all inherited watches still valid (FLOWER-1X routed #99, embed-OOM #90 resolved)
• New soft-watch #8: orphaned_decisions=4 (not flower-ops's problem, operator/orch-owned)

open questions

• Whether the orphaned_decisions=4 is a known gap or a new issue; noted but not routed.

next steps

key decisions

• Filed bug #129 for flower-checkin skill due to swapped argument mapping in the rendered command.

• Wait for next heartbeat or triage timer.

key decisions

• Switched to --cadence=slow per fleet quietness as instructed.

key decisions

• Feedback #130 (Solo timer_set metadata-cap -32602) assessed as report-not-route: cannot reproduce the claimed coordination-bus breakage (normal timer and handoff calls work all session), the error is a JSON-RPC param validation triggered only by >16KB metadata, not a flower bug. If a repro showing flower code passing >16KB timer metadata emerges, the verdict should be re-evaluated as a flower-scoped fix.
• Sentry issue set is identical to last pass with no material jumps or new IDs; no action on any issue.
• Open question whether feedback #130 will ever reproduce; no concrete repro steps exist.

open questions

• Will feedback #130 become reproducible in normal flower ops? Does any flower coordination code ever pass oversized metadata into Solo timer_set?

• Decision not to route #131/#133 as a code bug because the enum case is already committed; instead filed a corrective RCA note to prevent wasted effort.
• Decision to classify the issue under the #167 stale-MCP pattern.

• Did not re-arm timers (they survived Solo restart; re-arming would duplicate)

• Process new feedback items
• Continue normal triage cycle

key decisions

• Decided to treat MySQL blip as transient and not route it, since failed_jobs did not spike and database recovered.

• Verify root cause in code before routing; confirmed index name from config.

open questions

• Is the Herd Meili db-path stale or correct? Operator must confirm before reindex.

• Include forensic caveat about stale Meili data directory in fix spec to prevent blind reindex.

• recall_search recovery confirmed as healthy (11,694 docs in chunks index).

key decisions

• Carry open watches silently (FLOWER-1X, #99, #104, #113, etc.).
• Resolve feedback decrement as normal turnover, no new triage.

• Continue monitoring FLOWER-1X/#99, #104, #113, ingest-stuck, #130/#138, #139 as carried watches.

• FLOWER-1X #99 watch carried without resolve; embed-OOM cluster considered stopped (resolved) and not re-alarmed.
• Open feedback count remained flat, no material jump requiring re-triage.

• Continue carrying open watches for FLOWER-1X, #104, #113, ingest-chronic, and other noted issues without resolution.

• Monitor whether daemon 39's stale reset_state gets cleared by lounge operators; if not recurring, no further action.

key decisions

• Case Lead already exists in code (commit 2adc108), so #141 is not a code bug.

open questions

• Who owns clearing daemon 39's stale reset_state? The lounge daemon is cross-project and not in flower-ops scope.

• Self-reset (make-before-break) deferred until context usage reaches 45-50% at a clean lull.
• The +1 feedback delta attributed to own note #142, not a new external arrival, so no promotion or routing.

key decisions

• Context at 36% is below reset band-bottom; continue to mid-band (~45-50%) for opportunistic self-reset to avoid wasteful resets.
• Carry forward watches: FLOWER-1X (#99), #104, #113, #130/#138 (Solo-timer-bloat), #139 (baton-scope).
• No router needed for Sentry or health items; state is quiet.

• FLOWER-1X #99 is kept on watch even though it aged out of the 24h Sentry window, because its root cause remains unfixed.

• Refresh orchestrator pid cache on next full roster pull (currently stale after orch cycle 43->45).

key decisions

• Feedback #143 (idea about reset protocol gap) is operator-gated and not routed (daemon-lifecycle design lane).
• Orchestrator pid refresh deferred: routing (feedback_promote/daemon_poke) auto-resolves and urgent path resolves fresh.

open questions

• Orchestrator pid cache stale; will it cause issues before next full roster pull?

• At next clean lull when context is in-band (~45-50%), perform make-before-break self-reset.

key decisions

• Maintained slow cadence as fleet is quiet.
• Self-reset planned for next in-band lull to avoid context window limit.
• FLOWER-1X/#99 watch carried forward as root cause unfixed.
