The repo moved lms/claude-bridge -> fleet/claude-bridge -> fleet/fleetd.
Gitea redirects hold, so most of this is not urgent, but one line was a
real break: the implementer skill posts a worker's PR to a hardcoded
repo path, so every worker PR would have gone to the old address.

The wiki is not a separate repo. /repos/lms/claude-bridge.wiki returns 404
and lms owned no .wiki entity, so the wiki moved with the repo; both the old
and the new wiki SSH URLs resolve to the same sha. Ticket step 4 assumed a
second transfer that does not exist.
The eleven tool names become fleet_* throughout the portable block. The
fallback ladder keeps mcp__bridge__* unchanged and that is deliberate: both
launchers still mount the server as "bridge", so a spawned member really
does see that prefix. Renaming the mount is a separate surface CB-622 did
not touch.
Separately, a pre-existing defect: the ladder quoted the reply charter as
"You are an off-subscription worker in the claude-bridge fleet", while
REPLY_CHARTER says "You are a spawned member in the claude-bridge fleet".
A member matching that quote found nothing, so the ladder's first rung
could never fire. Now quoted verbatim.
wiki/7-Use-Cases.md is advanced to the matching template commit; the sync
check prints in sync: True.
The instruction surface named a parameter the tool refuses. bridge_ack requires
target and msgId (BridgeMcp.java:1001) and errors with 'target and msgId are
required' otherwise, but step 5 of the primary procedure said bridge_ack{ticket,
msgId}. The table two sections below it was already correct, so the file
contradicted itself and the wrong half was in the numbered steps a lead follows.
The same line is fixed in the byte-identical wiki template.
docs/MCP-Contract.md still opened with 'Greenfield - no MCP code exists yet' and
CLAUDE.md pointed every session at it. Audited against BridgeMcp.java: it names
two tools that do not exist, omits four that do, gets nearly every parameter name
wrong, and uses /workers paths the daemon does not serve. Its status banner now
says so and names the live schema as the authority; CLAUDE.md's pointer is
narrowed to section 6, which is the part that did survive. Rewrite is CB-609.
The prompt is part of the product: CB-582 changed what bridge_status returns, so
the primary's step 5 was no longer the whole truth.
The second half matters more than the first. A nudge makes a lead more likely to
notice an ask; it does not widen the ~55s window, which is bounded by the
WORKER's own MCP client timeout, not by anything the daemon chooses. Without that
sentence a lead reads 'the ask now nudges me' as 'asking works now' and briefs a
worker to ask — which is the failure CB-582 was filed about.
Closes the one piece issue #65 deliberately left out of 5d5b3bd: a
released member's agentSessionId now rides alongside worktree, branch
and snapshotRef on ReleaseDetail, and Bridged's onRelease handler
names it in the abandon reason, so a lead can resume the member's
conversation instead of only re-dispatching a fresh one onto the same
files.
Also updates the CLAUDE.md bridge_spawn/bridge_list table row, which
5d5b3bd shipped the sessionName/resumeSessionId/agentSessionId surface
for but never updated.
CLAUDE.md told every member 'You mount only the bridge MCP' and told the lead
'a worker mounts only the bridge MCP and cannot run your other tooling'. Both
were false for Claude Code members.
Measured by spawning one member per backend and asking each what it actually has:
opencode (gx) 11 bridge tools only claim TRUE
claude-code (local) 11 bridge + 45 gitea + 2 context7 claim FALSE
Source is ~/.claude.json user-scope mcpServers; --mcp-config adds to that scope
rather than replacing it, so the worktree parity overlay (which correctly
neutralises .mcp.json and opencode.json) cannot see or stop it.
The forge tools are mounted but not usable: CB-592's blocked sentinel means
get_me and list_issues both fail with 'invalid username, password or token'.
That is defence in depth working in a path it was not designed for, so the text
now says a mounted tool is not a working tool rather than pretending the tools
are absent.
Block propagated byte-identically to wiki 7-Use-Cases.md (wiki 1d95e3f).
The lead already owned the redeploy, but the command classifier refuses a bare
kill on the daemon, so in practice every deploy still needed the operator to
approve a stop and a start by hand. A single script is the seam that fixes
that: the operator allow-lists one auditable command instead of two ad-hoc
ones.
It also stops the procedure from living only in a checklist people read after
things go wrong. It builds before it stops anything, so a failed build never
leaves the fleet down; waits for the old process to exit instead of assuming;
polls /healthz; and anchors its log checks to a line marker taken before the
restart, so old errors cannot be misread as new ones.
The check with no log line anywhere in the daemon is the reason --check exists:
bridged inherits WORKER_GITEA_TOKEN from the shell that starts it, and starting
from a non-login shell empties it. The daemon boots fine, healthz is green, and
the failure only appears later as workers that cannot open a PR. --check tests
whether the name resolves and never prints the value.
A CLAUDE.md rule grants intent, not tool permission. Tried the redeploy right
after writing the section and the classifier refused `kill`, so the section
would have been misleading as written. States the honest split until a Bash
permission rule exists: the lead builds and verifies, the operator runs the
stop and start with `!`.
A merge is not a deployment: the running bridged holds the jar it started
with, so merged code does nothing until the daemon is rebuilt and restarted.
Calling that work shipped is a false report. This makes the redeploy the
lead's job rather than something handed back to the operator, and records the
five things that have gone wrong doing it here — chiefly that starting the
daemon from a non-login shell empties WORKER_GITEA_TOKEN, which nothing logs
and which only surfaces later as workers that cannot open a PR.
Goes in the project addendum, not the canonical block; the block is unchanged
and still byte-identical with the wiki template.
The canonical CLAUDE.md block is the instruction surface this daemon ships to
every agent that mounts it, so a code change that silently invalidates it is an
incomplete change. CB-548 added a third principal kind and the block was never
revisited. Four statements in it were simply false:
* whoami was documented as returning only primary or worker;
* "spawn/stop/send/drain are lead-only" — Authz permits SEND to an architect;
* delivery was documented as idle/blocked — injectable() is IDLE|BLOCKED|DONE,
and a spawned member must also have mounted the bridge MCP, which is the
exact condition that made every architect undeliverable for a day;
* the tool table said bridge_list returns `workers` — the JSON key is
`members`.
Also corrected: the fallback ladder claimed each one-way signal identifies a
"worker", but an architect gets the same charter, the same mount and the same
env, so those signals identify a spawned member and only bridge_whoami
separates the two. The safe default stays "act as a worker" — it is the most
restricted member role.
The turn contract now covers both member kinds, and says why the completion
fallback is not a substitute for bridge_reply: it returns at most the last 4000
characters, so a long report reaches the lead with its end cut off. That is not
hypothetical — it happened twice today.
Found by a reviewer asked whether the block still matches the code. Verified
against injectable(), Authz, BridgeMcp.listFleet and LeadLauncher before
applying. The wiki template is updated in the same shape and re-checked
byte-identical.
Two leads now work as peers rather than one primary plus workers. The arc:
CB-530/531 lead identity: `leaders:` names panes, `leadScan:` discovers them by
tab label (LeadTabScanner, TTL-cached, worker spaces excluded).
CB-532 leads can message each other AND be answered. Principal.leader now
carries its terminal, so ownsSession() can be true for a lead; the
"and you must be a worker" conjunct beside it protected nothing.
Retires `primary:` — reply nudges follow the delegating lead, a
binding recorded at bridge_send where both halves are known.
CB-533 ClaudeCodeLauncher passes --model. argv is usually a wrapper
(`ccs <profile>`) that re-exports its own model family, so
ANTHROPIC_MODEL alone was silently overruled.
CB-534 a lead is deliverable. The CB-113 readiness gate only opened for
terminals in WorkerPresence, which only workers ever enter, so every
lead->lead send waited out the ~60s grace and failed having never
been typed. The gate guards a *spawned* peer's boot window; a lead
is never spawned.
CB-535 bridge_list returns `leads` alongside `workers`, with `self` on the
caller's row. An empty worker roster no longer reads as "no peers".
CB-536 CLAUDE.md: lead<->lead is coordinate-only, never sideways delegation.
Propagated byte-identically to wiki/7-Use-Cases.md.
MIXED PROVENANCE — recorded deliberately rather than hidden. This tree also carries
in-progress CB-537 (context separation) authored by the peer lead gpt-sol-5.6 and
its worker: Capability.CONTEXT_RESET, SessionManager.clearAfterTurn, and the
Injector/TurnListener/CompletionResolver/launcher changes around it. That work was
done in this shared working tree rather than a worktree, and is entangled with the
above in BridgedConfig.java, Bridged.java and ClaudeCodeLauncher.java, so neither
lead could stage its own half without sweeping in the other's. Committing the whole
green state is the honest resolution; the peer branches from here.
Note for whoever picks CB-537 up: the design in this commit is SUPERSEDED. Both
leads agreed to replace the global `clearAfterTurn` boolean with per-delivery
policy (inherit|fresh|thread) applied PRE-delivery, because a post-turn reset races
by construction — Injector.onStatus clears awaitingCompletion and dequeues the next
message in the same tick. `fresh` is also a correctness guarantee, so an adapter
without a reset capability must refuse it rather than log a no-op.

CLAUDE.md already carries a mandatory before-done checklist ("the prompt is part
of the product"). It covered the instruction surface but not the operator-facing
one, and the result was measurable: CB-506 through CB-525 shipped without a
single wiki mention, while the Roadmap went on claiming Stage 5 was finished.
Discipline is what already failed, so this rides the existing gate rather than
adding a new habit to remember: one more row, firing when a change touches
anything an operator can use, configure, or observe. The row names where the
other two kinds of change go too (contracts to Implementation, coverage to the
Roadmap), so "nothing to document" is a decision the table makes rather than a
default you fall into.
Addendum-only — the canonical block is untouched and still byte-identical to the
wiki template (verified).
CB-517 moved orchestration policy into CLAUDE.md but left it as a bullet
list, so the procedure was implicit: the order of operations had to be
reconstructed from a parallelisation bullet, and nothing said when to
review or when to tear down. A policy you have to reassemble on each
task is one you will reassemble differently each task. Restate the
primary's half as a numbered 0-8 flow — role check, split, gate, spawn
all, send all, collect, verify, review, adjudicate — so that following
it is checkable against the tool calls rather than a matter of recall.
Two steps carry the load. Spawn and send are separate on purpose:
folding them into one loop is what silently serialises work that was
meant to fan out. And review is now its own step ahead of the merge
rather than a clause inside it, because the two have opposite owners —
reviewers fan out over the diff (never the implementer of the scope
they review, and briefed from the diff rather than the author's
rationale, which carries the same blind spot), while adjudication, the
merge and teardown stay with the primary. Merging on a reviewer's word
is delegating the gate by proxy, so the step says so outright.
Nothing is dropped. The six bullets that trailed the tool table are
relocated into the step that owns each — profile explicitness into
spawn, playbook naming and self-containment into send, claim
verification into its own step, the ~60s blocking-send cap into a note
beneath the flow — and the table stays as the intent→tool lookup.
The wiki pointer moves with it. The block is canonical only if its
template matches byte for byte, so the template was produced by
splicing the block out of CLAUDE.md rather than by editing it in
parallel, and the sync check the repo documents passes. Bumping the
pointer in the same commit keeps charter and template versioned
together, as CB-517 did.

The communication rules lived only in two opt-in skills, so nothing
always-on told the primary how to orchestrate and nothing guaranteed a
worker loaded its playbook. Move protocol and policy into CLAUDE.md,
which a worker inherits for free (its worktree is a checkout of this
repo), and leave the skills as pure per-job procedure.
bridge_whoami closes the load-bearing gap: every tool already consumed
the caller identity ConnectionIdentity resolves from the connection, but
none reported it, so an agent had to infer its own role from side
channels the daemon does not control. Guessing fails asymmetrically — a
primary acting as a worker is refused by the authz gate and learns at
once, while a worker acting as the primary ends its turn without
bridge_reply and the sender silently receives nothing. The tool reuses
the same Principal the gate is built on, so the two cannot disagree; the
primary gets role only (handing it a sessionId it does not own would
invite the forged reply Authz refuses), and a worker missing from the
registry still gets role + sessionId rather than 'unknown'.
The CLAUDE.md block is written to be copied as-is into any project that
mounts the bridge: repo-local details (Authz paths, the .mcp.json/wiki
exclusions, the skill names) moved below it into a project addendum, and
every role-inference fallback is stated one-way — the mount-name signal
only holds for mcp__bridge__* (the launcher fixes it), not for the
primary's mount, which each project names itself. The wiki carries the
block verbatim as the template, with a sync check.
Because this repo IS the bridge, that block is shipped surface, not
documentation: the addendum adds a mandatory checklist mapping each part
of the code to the part of the prompt it can invalidate.
Also: delegate-by-default policy for the primary — the test is not 'could
I do this faster myself' but 'can I write a brief good enough for a
worker'.
