From 858dcef73cb29caa18a20e53d617978da9cf0168 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Minghini Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 01:46:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] patch(wedge): cap wedge escalations to prevent unattended LLM loop drain Adds FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS (default 10) to bin/fm-watch.sh. Once wedge escalations for a stale-hash reach this count, the watcher emits ONE terminal wake with a 'PERMANENTLY-WEDGED' marker and writes STATE/.wedge-permanent-, then stops sending further wakes for that hash until the pane's state resets to genuinely active. Resets on the existing handle_paused_stale / clear_pause_tracking paths. Root cause of the 2026-08-18 MiniMax subscription drain (~359M tokens): in LLM-supervised unattended setups, the demand-deep-inspection marker is read but not acted on, so the wake loop never breaks. This cap preserves the existing by-design signal escalation and only adds a safety floor.

Per-hash marker keying. v1 keyed STATE/.wedge-permanent- on the window only, so a fresh stale hash in the same window was permanently suppressed (contradicting the 'for this hash' semantics documented in PATCHES.md). v2 keys the marker on (window, hash): STATE/.wedge-permanent--. Fresh stale hashes in the same window can still escalate; only this exact stale hash is silenced. Threads the hash as a 6th parameter to wedge_timer_check from all 4 call sites (busy_turn_bound_check, the three main-loop sites). Reset sites (handle_paused_stale, clear_pause_tracking) now glob-remove .wedge-permanent--* (all hashes for this key) on pane recovery. 2. Atomic marker write. v1 wrote the marker BEFORE fm_wake_append and wake, so a crash or wake failure between marker-write and wake-publish left the pane permanently silent (marker on disk, wake never delivered). v2 writes the marker AFTER wake succeeds, with the ordering invariant documented in a comment. A mid-flow crash leaves no marker, and the next poll re-enters the cap branch and retries. Defensive fallback: if a caller forgets to thread the hash, v2 falls back to the v1 window-scoped marker name (with a triage log) so the cap still suppresses retries for that window. Trade-off documented: that mode is window-scoped and would suppress fresh stale hashes.

Marker never persisted. v2 wrote the marker AFTER 'wake', but wake() is sourced from fm-push-transition-lib and ends with 'exit 0' - the watcher only emits one wake per cycle. So the marker write was dead code and the cap never persisted: capped hashes kept producing terminal wakes on every poll, the exact drain the cap was supposed to bound. v3 writes the marker AFTER 'fm_wake_append' succeeds but BEFORE 'wake' runs, so the marker is durable when the script exits. Writes after wake-append (not before) to keep v1's safety property: a fs failure during wake-append exits 1 without setting the marker, so the next poll retries cleanly. 2. Unvalidated FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS override. v2/v1 accepted any value. A non-positive integer (0, negative) would fire the cap on the very first escalation, silencing wakes before the demand-deep-inspection marker ever surfaces; a non-integer would make the integer compare error silently (no 'set -e') and the cap would never fire. v3 validates at load: rejects both with a triage_log warning and falls back to the default (10).

Failure case the v4 design allowed: 1. Hash H wedges, escalation count climbs to 10, cap fires, marker .wedge-permanent--H12 set. 2. Operator types paused: (or pause class auto-transitions for any reason). 3. handle_paused_stale fires -> glob-removes ALL .wedge-permanent--* including H12's. 4. Operator removes paused:. 5. Hash H still wedged but no marker -> cap fires again, second terminal wake. The cap was supposed to be permanent for that hash. v5: do not clear .wedge-permanent--* in either reset site. The marker is keyed on (window, hash) and the lookup at the top of wedge_timer_check is always for the CURRENT hash being processed, so old markers are naturally stale once the hash actually changes. Manual operator reset (rm STATE/.wedge-permanent--H12) is the only legitimate way to lift the cap for a still-wedged hash. The pre-existing clearing of .wedge-escalations- in those reset sites is untouched: it predates this patch and is unrelated to the cap mechanism. (The escalation count resetting is harmless because the cap marker is what gates re-firing, not the count itself.)

Two unambiguous sites: 1. New-hash + pause_state_class=working (main loop, line ~1545): capture old_h before clear_pause_tracking wipes .stale-, then rm -f its marker. The wedge was absorbed because an active pipeline exists, so PERMANENTLY-WEDGED for old_h is stale. 2. Same-hash + was-paused + pause_state_class=working (main loop, line ~1568): worker recovered on the SAME hash during a declared pause; rm -f the marker for hash H. The wedge that fired PERMANENTLY-WEDGED earlier is no longer authoritative. Other clear_pause_tracking / handle_paused_stale call sites are untouched: status-verb changes, secondmate path, etc. are ambiguous (can be stale log lines or genuine state) and would re-introduce the R4 over-clearing.

Tests use the existing test framework (wake-helpers.sh + fakebin + FM_FAKE_CREW_STATE) and follow the same patterns as the surrounding wedge tests in tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh. Each test run uses a small FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS (3-4) so the cap is reached in a handful of poll cycles. Validation runs use the default (10) since the override is rejected.

The same gate (pause_state_class=working) is used as v6 sites 1 and 2, so a recovery here is just as unambiguous: an authoritative 'working' verdict with no declared wait in flight means the wedge for this pane is no longer 'wedged' - it is a static pane in front of an active pipeline. Counter is intentionally NOT reset by the lift. The next wedge episode starts from where the previous one left off, so the cap fires on the first wedge_timer_check call after this lift and the LLM sees ONE 'PERMANENTLY-WEDGED' per wedge episode rather than a continuous drain. If the worker wedges in cycles (wedges, recovers, wedges), each cycle bounded by FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS escalations plus one cap fire - same as the original bounded-wake design, just restarted per recovery event. Tests: updated tests/fm-watch-wedge-cap.test.sh: - test_wedge_cap_suppresses_subsequent_polls_for_same_hash now sets FM_FAKE_CREW_STATE=paused during the suppression check (worker is genuinely still wedged, so v7 site 3 does NOT fire and the cap holds). - new test_wedge_cap_lifts_on_same_hash_worker_active_without_pause exercises v7 site 3: cap fires, FM_FAKE_CREW_STATE stays 'working', no declared pause - marker is lifted on the next wedge_timer_check call.

Same-hash recovery (v7 site 3) removes the suppression marker while retaining a counter already at the cap, so the next expired stale timer recreates the marker and emits another terminal wake; continued working classification repeats that cycle. Each wedge/recover cycle produced another cap wake with no bound - exactly the drain the cap was supposed to bound. v8 resets the escalation counter alongside the marker at every lift site (v6 site 1 via clear_pause_tracking, v6 site 2 and v7 site 3 explicitly). Each new wedge episode now has to climb FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS escalations again before the cap fires, so the LLM sees at most ONE 'PERMANENTLY-WEDGED' per wedge episode - the original bounded-wake design intent, restored. Trade-offs: - Short wedges (< STALE_ESCALATE_SECS * FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS) produce only normal escalations, no cap wake. This is fine - short wedges are not the drain problem the cap was designed to solve. - Long wedges (> STALE_ESCALATE_SECS * FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS) produce 10 normal escalations + 1 cap wake per cycle, bounded. - Cycling wedges (wedges, recovers, wedges) bounded by FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS per cycle. Each cycle is observable. Tests: updated tests/fm-watch-wedge-cap.test.sh: - test_wedge_cap_lifts_on_same_hash_recovery (site 2) now also asserts .wedge-escalations is reset. - test_wedge_cap_lifts_on_same_hash_worker_active_without_pause (site 3) now also asserts .wedge-escalations is reset. - new test_wedge_cap_bounded_across_wedge_recover_cycles drives TWO consecutive wedge episodes and verifies each one bounded (cap fires on the second episode after FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS escalations from a fresh counter, not immediately on the first wedge_timer_check after recovery). All 8 cap tests pass. Existing wedge tests in tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh still pass - no regressions.

Greptile R8 (on v8): 'a persistently working-classified stale pane can clear its cap on the next poll and resume repeated terminal-wake cycles... pause_state_class=working can remain unchanged throughout the original wedge; consequently, the permanent marker is removed without an intervening recovery and the same pane can repeatedly escalate back to the cap.' Greptile is right: the v6/v7/v8 lift sites used pause_state_class= working as a recovery gate, but that verdict is steady-state during a wedge (the worker is active, the pane is static), not a recovery signal. Every Greptile round since v5 caught a new edge case in this design (R5, R6, R7, R8) - the cap-as-binary-marker with recovery-detection via pause_state_class is fundamentally too brittle. v9 replaces the model: cap is bound by FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS (default 24h). The marker file's content is its cap-fire timestamp; wedge_timer_check checks marker age and ignores markers older than the horizon. A new wedge on the same (window, hash) can re-fire the cap after the horizon elapses. A new hash naturally invalidates the marker (different key). Operator can manually rm for immediate re-engagement. Why this is the right model: - The cap is bounded: at most 1 cap wake per (window, hash) per FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS, regardless of worker recovery behavior. - The cap is time-bounded, not behavior-bounded - so it doesn't depend on 'what counts as recovery', which is the question every Greptile round has been about. - The hash change + manual rm paths give the LLM/operator legitimate ways to re-engage. Trade-offs (deliberate): - A genuinely recovered pane that wedges again on the same hash within FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS gets no cap wake. The LLM has to wait for the horizon or for the operator. - For very long STUCK wedges, the cap fires every horizon instead of once. Bounded, not unbounded. - For cycling wedges (wedges, recovers, wedges), each cycle bounded by the horizon. Not a continuous drain. Tests: rewrote tests/fm-watch-wedge-cap.test.sh around the new semantics: - cap fires PERMANENTLY-WEDGED and writes per-(window, hash) marker - subsequent polls silent within horizon - cap persists across pause-class transitions when worker is genuinely waiting (FM_FAKE_CREW_STATE=paused) - cap re-fires after horizon elapses (backdated marker) - cap holds within horizon (recent marker) - new hash invalidates marker naturally (different key) - operator rm bypasses horizon for immediate re-engagement - invalid FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS override falls back to default 10 Removed tests for v6/v7/v8 lift sites (no auto-lift in v9). All 8 cap tests pass. Existing wedge tests in tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh still pass - no regressions.

The cap marker is honored for at most FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS (default 24h); after that, the cap is stale and a new wedge on the same (window, hash) can re-fire. The v6/v7/v8 auto-lift sites (using pause_state_class=working) are removed - pause_state_class can be a steady-state during a wedge, not a recovery signal, and trying to use it as a recovery gate introduced cycle issues in every round (R5, R6, R7, R8). Hash change naturally invalidates the marker (keyed on hash); operator can `rm` for immediate re-engagement. **Problem:** `FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT` (default 3) adds a `demand-deep-inspection` marker to wedge-escalation wakes once a pane has re-wedged on the same stale hash. The design assumes a human or smart supervisor will act on the marker and break the loop. In LLM-supervised unattended setups (herdr + pi agent), the marker is read but never acted on: pi responds to every wake, the wedge never resolves, escalations keep incrementing (observed: 70, 112, 129 in a single session), and the agent loop hammers the model API until the quota is drained. Root-cause of the 2026-08-18 MiniMax subscription drain (~359M tokens). -**Fix:** Add a new constant `FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS` (default 10). Once escalations reach it, `wedge_timer_check` emits ONE terminal wake with a `PERMANENTLY-WEDGED` marker and writes a durable `STATE/.wedge-permanent--` file (per-hash, not per-window, so a fresh stale hash in the same window can still escalate). Subsequent polls for the SAME stale hash short-circuit (no more wakes). **The marker is lifted on unambiguous recovery only**: when `pause_state_class` returns `working` for a window that previously had a wedge marker. Three lift sites cover the production cases: +**Fix:** Add a new constant `FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS` (default 10) and `FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS` (default 86400 = 24h).

Resets counter explicitly. - 3. **v7 site 3** - same hash + working pipeline (no declared pause): worker recovered via run-step/file activity without `paused:` ever being declared. Resets counter explicitly. +**Why this model instead of auto-lift on recovery:** the v6/v7/v8 lift sites used `pause_state_class=working` as the recovery gate, but pause_state_class can be a steady-state during a wedge (the worker is doing things but the pane is static). Using a steady-state verdict as a recovery signal introduced a fresh cycle issue on every Greptile round (R5: cap never lifted; R6: cap not lifted on same-hash recovery without pause; R7: cap fires every wedge_timer_check after lift; R8: pause_state_class=working is unchanged throughout the original wedge). The cap-horizon model bounds silent-suppression to a fixed time window without depending on an ambiguous recovery verdict. -**v8 cycle bound:** every lift site resets `STATE/.wedge-escalations-` alongside the marker, so the next wedge episode starts from 0 again. Each wedge episode is bounded by `FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS` escalations + 1 cap wake, not by the LLM-loop-drain pattern the cap was created to fix. A worker that wedges/recover/wedges in cycles produces at most ONE cap wake per cycle, not a continuous drain. +**Trade-offs:** + - Short wedges (< STALE_ESCALATE_SECS * FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS) produce only normal escalations, no cap wake. + - Long wedges (>= the horizon) produce 1 cap wake per horizon, bounded. + - Cycling wedges (wedges, recovers, wedges) bounded by 1 cap wake per horizon. + - Operator `rm` provides immediate re-engagement (bypasses the horizon). -Other `clear_pause_tracking` / `handle_paused_stale` call sites do NOT clear the marker (those are automatic supervision-state transitions, not proof that the wedge resolved).

If the marker write succeeds but `fm_wake_append` then fails, the marker is rolled back (`rm -f "$permanent_marker"`) and exit 1 (clean abort, next poll retries). Success path: marker durable, queue entry durable, `wake` runs.

The retained escalation count keeps emitting terminal wakes after each stale interval. v10 mirrors the FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS validation pattern from v3: reject 0 (and non-integer), fall back to the default (86400 = 24h), log a triage_log warning so the bad config is visible. The validation is at the top of fm-watch.sh, before any code that uses the value. This is a small fix - the cap-horizon model from v9 is correct. The gap was a missing validation, not a design flaw. The horizon-based design bounds silent-suppression to a fixed time window without depending on an ambiguous recovery verdict. Tests: extended test_wedge_cap_validates_invalid_override to cover both FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS and FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS (0 and 'abc' each). All 8 cap tests pass. No regressions in fm-watch-triage.test.sh.

The cap marker is honored for at most FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS (default 24h); after that, the cap is stale and a new wedge on the same (window, hash) can re-fire. The v6/v7/v8 auto-lift sites (using pause_state_class=working) are removed - pause_state_class can be a steady-state during a wedge, not a recovery signal, and trying to use it as a recovery gate introduced cycle issues in every round (R5, R6, R7, R8). Hash change naturally invalidates the marker (keyed on hash); operator can `rm` for immediate re-engagement. +**Status:** applied on branch `patch/wedge-cap-2026-08-19` (off main). v10 (2026-08-25) addresses Greptile round 9: FM_CAP_HORIZON_SECS=0 was accepted by the validation (0 is all-digits, passes the regex), causing every marker to expire immediately and re-enabling the v3 "cap fires every stale interval" failure mode. The horizon validation now rejects 0 and non-integer values, falling back to the default (86400) with a triage_log warning, mirroring the FM_WEDGE_MAX_ESCALATIONS validation pattern from v3. **Problem:** `FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT` (default 3) adds a `demand-deep-inspection` marker to wedge-escalation wakes once a pane has re-wedged on the same stale hash. The design assumes a human or smart supervisor will act on the marker and break the loop. In LLM-supervised unattended setups (herdr + pi agent), the marker is read but never acted on: pi responds to every wake, the wedge never resolves, escalations keep incrementing (observed: 70, 112, 129 in a single session), and the agent loop hammers the model API until the quota is drained.
