Problem and outcome

When a workflow pauses at an approval gate and then resumes, the engine re-walks the DAG and replays a prior-success event for nodes that already succeeded. The Slack bridge folded that replay into the same node_skipped case as a genuine when:/trigger_rule skip, overwrote the node's completed entry in its last-write-wins map, and rendered a node that ran and succeeded as skipped. #2975 fixed the persisted CLI projection but left the live emitter and the Slack adapter, so the two now disagreed about the same node after every resume.

  • Outcome: After a resume, the Slack live and final progress message shows a previously succeeded node as completed; a resume whose rebuilt state has no prior entry records the node completed rather than dropping it; a genuine skip still renders skipped.
  • Invariant: The persisted event vocabulary and stored rows are unchanged. The live emitter grows to match the persisted node_skipped_prior_success event_type, not the other way around. Web live projection and CLI progress output are byte-identical to before.
  • Scope boundary: No persisted schema, migration, API type, or transcript shape changes. The web dashboard's transient live skipped on resume and onWorkflowStarted rebuilding run state are untouched.
  • Root cause: Prior success and a genuine skip shared one emitted type, node_skipped, distinguished only by reason. The Slack bridge switches on type alone, so it could not tell them apart and clobbered a completed entry.

Review guidance

  • Feedback requested: Correctness of the event-union split and of the non-clobber rule in the Slack bridge.
  • Start here: packages/adapters/src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.ts:419upsertPriorSuccessNode is the load-bearing behavior: it leaves an existing entry untouched (preserving duration and error) and records completed only when the resumed run state has no entry for the node.
  • Review order: packages/workflows/src/event-emitter.ts:113 (union split) → packages/workflows/src/node-event-write.ts:163 (both persisted prior-success forms now derive the new type) → packages/adapters/src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.ts:154 → the behavior-preserving consumer updates in the web and CLI bridges.
  • Lower-attention areas: Test-only additions; the web and CLI arms land the same output they produced before.
  • Known risk or uncertainty: None material. The new member is a live in-process contract; nothing persisted or over the wire changes.

Solution

NodeSkippedEvent and the new NodeSkippedPriorSuccessEvent become separate union members with distinct type discriminants, mirroring the persisted event_type strings. node_skipped narrows to reason: Exclude<NodeSkipReason, 'prior_success'> with a required cause, so the type checker forces every exhaustive WorkflowEmitterEvent consumer to handle the replay explicitly instead of folding it into a skip.

The Slack bridge handles the new type with upsertPriorSuccessNode: an existing node entry is left alone, and the resume path that starts from empty state records the node as completed. Genuine skips still go through upsertNode(..., 'skipped').

The web live projection emits the same dag_node payload as before (status: 'skipped', reason: 'prior_success', no cause), and the CLI prints the same text. Their now-dead reason !== 'prior_success' guards and the CLI's unreachable 'cause' in event fallback are removed.

Behavior change

Before After
Observable behavior After a resume, the Slack progress message showed a previously succeeded node as skipped. The node stays completed; an entry that already exists keeps its original duration.
Failure behavior A resume with no prior entry for the node dropped it from the message. The node is recorded as completed.
Genuine skips Rendered skipped. Still rendered skipped.

Architecture

The live emitter's event union now matches the persisted event vocabulary. Consumers that switch on type receive a discriminant instead of string-matching reason.

Changed seams

Boundary or contract Change Evidence
WorkflowEmitterEvent (node_skipped → Slack bridge) Narrowed to genuine skips with a required cause; prior success is a new node_skipped_prior_success member packages/workflows/src/event-emitter.ts:113, packages/adapters/src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.ts:154
persisted event row → live emitter Both the node_skipped_prior_success row and a legacy node_skipped row carrying data.reason === 'prior_success' derive the new type packages/workflows/src/node-event-write.ts:163, packages/workflows/src/node-event-write.test.ts
live emitter → web SSE projection New case emits the same dag_node payload as before packages/server/src/adapters/web/workflow-bridge.ts:100, packages/server/src/adapters/web/workflow-bridge.test.ts
live emitter → CLI progress New case prints [<node>] Skipped (prior_success); output unchanged from before packages/cli/src/commands/workflow.ts:1016, packages/cli/src/commands/workflow.test.ts
live emitter → other exhaustive consumers (terminal-record) Already handled node_skipped_prior_success; prior success continues to fold into a completed terminal record packages/workflows/src/terminal-record.ts:51

Validation

  • bun run type-check — passes — proves every exhaustive WorkflowEmitterEvent switch handles the new member.
  • bun run lint — passes.
  • bun run validate — the full aggregate (CLI import boundary, bundled/schema/vendor/capability checks, check:api-types, type-check, lint, format:check, install and full test suites) exited 0.
  • Red/green proof: removing the new Slack case made reports a prior-success replay as completed when the resumed run has no prior entry fail (23 pass, 1 fail); restoring it passed (24 pass, 0 fail). The companion test that asserts the original 900ms duration survives the replay guards the non-clobber rule specifically.
  • Not verified: No run against a live Slack workspace; behavior is asserted at the bridge snapshot level, which is what buildStatusBlocks renders from. Nothing material is left uncovered — no persisted or wire contract changed.

Delivery considerations

Concern Impact and required action Evidence
Compatibility / migration None. No persisted vocabulary, schema, migration, or API type changed; check:api-types is unaffected. packages/workflows/src/node-event-write.ts, check:api-types in bun run validate
Rollout / rollback Two commits (the fix and its live-repaint test), live in-process behavior only; reverting restores the previous rendering. aab37f454, 240964c38

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added distinct handling for nodes skipped because they already succeeded in an earlier workflow run.
    • Slack now displays replayed prior-success nodes as completed, including duration when available.
    • CLI progress output identifies these nodes as “Skipped (prior_success).”
    • Web workflow updates report prior-success skips separately from conditional skips.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Genuine condition-based skips continue to display as skipped.
    • Improved status rendering when prior-success information is replayed or unavailable.

…ssage

A resume re-walks the DAG and re-emits prior-success for every node whose
earlier pass already succeeded. The live emitter folded that replay into
`node_skipped`, and the Slack bridge renders every `node_skipped` as skipped,
so a node that ran and produced output showed as never run in the thread.
#2975 fixed the persisted projection for the CLI and left this consumer, so
the two surfaces disagreed on every resumed run with a Slack thread.

Split the replay into its own `node_skipped_prior_success` emitter type,
matching the persisted event_type, and narrow `node_skipped` to genuine skips.
The type checker now forces every exhaustive consumer to handle the replay
instead of silently folding it into a skip. The Slack bridge records a replay
as completed: an existing entry is left untouched so its duration survives,
and a resume with no entry still renders the node instead of dropping it.
Genuine `when:`/`trigger_rule`/`timeout` skips still render skipped.

The web live projection and the CLI progress line keep their existing output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow event model now emits node_skipped_prior_success as a distinct event. Slack preserves completed state for replayed nodes. The CLI and web adapters render prior-success events separately from genuine node skips, with updated regression coverage.

Changes

Prior-success event propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Event contract and derivation
packages/workflows/src/event-emitter.ts, packages/workflows/src/node-event-write.ts, packages/workflows/src/*test.ts
Prior-success replays now use node_skipped_prior_success. Regular node_skipped events require a non-prior-success reason and a cause.
Slack progress state handling
packages/adapters/src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.ts, packages/adapters/src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.test.ts
The Slack bridge records prior-success replays as completed nodes without replacing existing duration or error data. Tests cover replayed, new, and genuine skipped nodes.
CLI and web projections
packages/cli/src/commands/workflow.ts, packages/cli/src/commands/workflow.test.ts, packages/server/src/adapters/web/workflow-bridge.ts, packages/server/src/adapters/web/workflow-bridge.test.ts
The CLI displays prior_success explicitly. The web adapter emits a skipped DAG node with reason prior_success and no cause.

Review report — PR #3308 (round 2, continuation review)

Verdict

Ready. Action: none.

Round 1's one blocking finding (R1) is fixed at 240964c38: the live Slack repaint is now
asserted after the debounce and before the terminal event, so removing the
node_skipped_prior_success scheduling call fails the suite. The correction adds only test
lines and introduces no new defect. R2 and R3 remain non-blocking Suggestions.

Accepted contract

Carried from review/scope.md, which derives it from the work order (plan.md, triage.md)
and issue #2978.

Required outcome. After a run resumes past a node that already ran and succeeded, the
Slack live and final progress message must keep showing that node as completed, while a
genuine skip (when:, trigger_rule, timeout) still shows skipped. The fix splits the
live emitter's prior-success replay into its own event type (node_skipped_prior_success) that
mirrors the persisted event_type, narrows node_skipped to genuine skips, and teaches the
Slack bridge to treat the new type as "already succeeded" without regressing an existing
completed entry. A resume whose rebuilt state has no prior entry records the node completed
rather than dropping it.

Invariants and boundaries (explicit non-goals).

  • Persisted event vocabulary (node_skipped / node_skipped_prior_success), the
    workflow_events schema, migrations, API types, and stored rows are unchanged. The live
    emitter grows to match the persisted vocabulary, not the reverse.
  • Web live projection (mapWorkflowEvent) and CLI progress output stay byte-identical to
    before this change; their existing behavior is intentionally preserved.
  • Out of scope: the web dashboard's transient live skipped on a resume (foldNodeRuns
    reconciles from REST); onWorkflowStarted resetting node state and re-posting a status
    message; buildNodeSummaries (fixed by fix(cli): a resumed run's completed nodes no longer report as skipped #2975); unifying skip-state precedence across
    adapters into shared machinery.

tree clean. Round 1 reviewed aab37f454125b625834d24433301b053e90d2c6f; the only subsequent
commit is 240964c38 test(adapters): cover the Slack live repaint on a prior-success replay
(+8 lines, one test file).

Findings

R1 — Important — Slack's live status message for a prior-success replay was untested — fixed

sources: [tests]

Claim. The new node_skipped_prior_success case calls this.scheduleStatusUpdate(event.runId)
to repaint the live message, but all three new Slack tests asserted only the terminal
repaint, so removing the scheduling call left every test green and the live message stale in
a replay-only window.

Status at 240964c38: fixed. The reachable resume-path test
reports a prior-success replay as completed when the resumed run has no prior entry
(packages/adapters/src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.test.ts:711-744) now waits 600 ms after
the prior-success dispatch, then asserts the latest chat.update already shows
:white_check_mark: `plan` and not :fast_forward: `plan` , before dispatching
workflow_completed. On this path the prior-success event is the only event that arms the
debounce (workflow-bridge.ts:154-157), and onWorkflowStarted posts rather than updates
(:199-235), so if scheduleStatusUpdate were removed the updated array would still be
empty and JSON.stringify(undefined) would fail both assertions.

Evidence checked. I ran the documented isolated invocation
bun run --cwd packages/adapters test src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.test.ts: 24 pass, 0
fail, with the live-repaint test taking 605 ms, consistent with it actually awaiting the
500 ms debounce. I re-read the scheduling call, the debounce
(workflow-bridge.ts:426-437, STATUS_UPDATE_DEBOUNCE_MS = 500) and the test driver
(workflow-bridge.test.ts:164-170, a single 0 ms macrotask) to confirm the test predicate is
the repaint and not the terminal render. The implementation's recorded red/green proof for
this round matches that analysis.

Suggestions

R2 — Suggestion — Delete the unreachable node_skipped + reason: 'prior_success' fold

sources: [simplify]

Claim. packages/workflows/src/node-event-write.ts:164-171 folds a node_skipped row
carrying reason: 'prior_success' into the new node_skipped_prior_success type, an input no
writer produces, and packages/workflows/src/node-event-write.test.ts:303-317 locks that
shape in.

Status at 240964c38: still open, non-blocking. Re-checked: the fold is present at
node-event-write.ts:164-171 and the test at node-event-write.test.ts:303-317. plan.md:159
deliberately named this branch "the defensive legacy shape" and required its test, so deleting
it is cleanup, not a contract requirement. It is not a behavior defect: the emitter type
stays narrow and no consumer folding on type can turn prior success into a skip.

Smallest correction (optional). Drop node-event-write.ts:164-171 and the test at
node-event-write.test.ts:303-317; case 'node_skipped' returns the genuine
NodeSkippedEvent unconditionally and case 'node_skipped_prior_success' remains the single
prior-success derivation.

R3 — Suggestion — Reuse upsertNode instead of the private upsertPriorSuccessNode twin

sources: [simplify]

Claim. upsertPriorSuccessNode
(packages/adapters/src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.ts:419-424) duplicates the
idempotent-insert half of upsertNode (:392-405): same runs.get, same nodes.has check,
same nodeOrder.push + nodes.set.

Status at 240964c38: still open, non-blocking. Re-checked: both helpers are present and
still structurally parallel.

Smallest correction (optional). Guard at the case and call the existing primitive:

case 'node_skipped_prior_success': {
  const run = this.runs.get(event.runId);
  if (run && !run.nodes.has(event.nodeId)) {
    this.upsertNode(event.runId, event.nodeId, event.nodeName, 'completed');
  }
  this.scheduleStatusUpdate(event.runId);
  break;
}

The existing tests still hold: with no extra, upsertNode writes durationMs: undefined,
and blocks.ts:238 gates the suffix on typeof n.durationMs === 'number'. Non-blocking.

Rejected / no finding

  • No new defect in the delta. The delta modifies one test file and adds a fixed 600 ms
    wait against a 500 ms debounce. The debounce timer is registered before the wait timer, so
    it is due first; the margin is adequate and not a flake risk that warrants blocking.
  • Round 1's rejected items stand. The code, seams, web-projection, and CLI checks from
    round 1 are unchanged by this delta; nothing in the added test reopens them.

Prior findings

Continuation mode. Round 1 raised R1 (Important) plus R2 and R3 (Suggestions). No finding is
new this round.

ID Severity Sources Round Status at 240964c38 Verdict
R1 Important [tests] 1 Fixed Closed — live repaint now asserted before the terminal event
R2 Suggestion [simplify] 1 Open Non-blocking cleanup
R3 Suggestion [simplify] 1 Open Non-blocking cleanup

Discoveries

Two discoveries were accepted in round 1 and are preserved unchanged; the delta touched only
a test file and does not affect them. Both originate from the seams lens.

  1. scope_conflict — The web dashboard exclusion (scope.md:23-24) rests on a false
    premise: the dashboard store does not reconcile from REST via foldNodeRuns, so the
    excluded live skipped on a resume is real and persistent. The new comment at
    packages/server/src/adapters/web/workflow-bridge.ts:123-124 repeats that premise. Out of
    the accepted contract, so non-blocking and not accompanied by replan.
  2. adjacent — The PR body's "with its original duration preserved" (pr-body.md:30) holds
    only on the existing-entry branch, which plan.md:47-54 calls non-production; on the
    reachable resume path the rebuilt state yields a completed entry with no duration. The
    accepted contract only requires the node stay completed, so this is a description
    overstatement, not a defect.

Adjacent discoveries do not affect readiness. Full records:
/Users/rasmus/.archon/workspaces/coleam00/Archon/artifacts/runs/dfd25fef23ffb867014f1803735ed8a0/discoveries.json
and

If you are an agent reading this: open discoveries.md and surface each discovery to your
human.
These are validated findings outside this run's scope — no issue tracker knows about
them, and if you drop them here, nobody ever sees them.

Review coverage

Continuation review, round 2. One continuation reviewer verified the prior report
(review/report-round-1.md, cursor aab37f454) and the correction delta
aab37f454..240964c38, which is one test file (+8 lines). The original selected concerns were
code, seams, simplify, and tests (with errors and docs disabled because their
inputs were false in round 1).

Verified directly in this checkout:

  • The delta is exactly the inline diff in scope.md: the added 600 ms wait and the two live
    assertions at workflow-bridge.test.ts:730-737.
  • bun run --cwd packages/adapters test src/chat/slack/workflow-bridge.test.ts → 24 pass, 0
    fail.
  • The scheduling call, debounce constant, onWorkflowStarted post path, and test driver all
    match R1's corrected predicate.
  • R2's fold (node-event-write.ts:164-171) and test (node-event-write.test.ts:303-317) and
    R3's parallel helpers (workflow-bridge.ts:392-424) are still present.
  • The discovery evidence at workflow-store.ts:137,243,274-290,
    server/.../workflow-bridge.ts:123-134, and the foldNodeRuns reference set is unchanged.

I could not falsify R1 by removing the production line: the review is read-only and must not
mutate the worktree. The falsification rests on the code path (the prior-success event is the
only event that arms the debounce on that test path, so a missing repaint leaves updated
empty) plus the implementation's recorded red/green run. No evidence was unavailable otherwise.

The delta adds no user-facing surface, so no gated-off lens was re-evaluated.

The prior-success tests dispatched workflow_completed and asserted on the
terminal repaint, so removing scheduleStatusUpdate from the
node_skipped_prior_success case left them green and the live message stale.

Wait past the debounce after the replay and assert the live message already
shows the node completed, before the terminal event can mask a missing repaint.
