A saved complete-file candidate could overwrite newer skill guidance, while a provider-wide outage was indistinguishable from a healthy no-op run. Record the source blob and provenance, reject drift during promotion, and make total adapter failure visible.
Align cadence and feedback acquisition with the evidence contract, and narrow the borrowed-state and negative-control checks so they do not contradict the package and testing standards.
Refresh the background-task branch onto the latest repository baseline before applying review feedback. This preserves merge ancestry, incorporates the current CI and package-structure changes, and ensures the review fixes are validated against the code that will actually receive the PR.
The background-task change repeated its lifecycle design across implemented RFCs, package READMEs, JSDoc, test commentary, and model-visible schemas. That repetition obscured the contracts that maintainers must preserve and added avoidable prompt tokens.
Rewrite the implemented RFCs around the current design, keep authorization, exact-owner cleanup, wait/abort ordering, producer quiescence, and teardown-failure guarantees at their owning surfaces, and remove peer surveys, review history, control-flow narration, and emphatic restatement.
Shorten the task and subagent schema wording, synchronize the bilingual tool cookbook, and regenerate the config, service, RFC, tool, and replay snapshot derivatives. Runtime behavior is unchanged; test edits update prose-only assertions and descriptions.
Entry point for the skill's operator and for any future handoff: what the
private periodic tool produces, where the saved candidate diff and SKILL.md
land on the operator's machine, and how the promote helper turns the
operator's decision into a draft PR from a clean master checkout. Companion
to the maintenance RFC.
A private out-of-repo maintainer tool turns adopted human review feedback
into candidate skill updates. Only the resulting SKILL.md diff enters this
repository through normal PR review; the tool source, adapter binaries,
provider credentials, and scheduler stay on the maintainer's machine to
keep this repository focused on shipped product code. Kept in proposed/
until end-to-end verification against master lands a candidate PR; the
acceptance criteria list the exact observations that unlock promotion.
