# Debug: FIRE-EC echo_commune emits empty live-context / project-context slices

## Symptoms

- **Expected:** A FIRE_ECHO_COMMUNE_NOW dispatch (source=clear) re-emits an
  echo_commune envelope to Self with the same populated `<live-context>` and
  `<project-context>` slices that a normal commune carries.
- **Actual:** The echo_commune envelope arrives with BOTH slices empty:
  `<live-context></live-context>` and `<project-context></project-context>`.
- **Error / log evidence:** `C:\Users\decid\AppData\Local\spt\logs_latest\doyle.log`
  - 1859 `[FIRE-EC] received FIRE_ECHO_COMMUNE_NOW control message`
  - 1860 `[FIRE-EC] dispatching: prior_session=c52b0bc0-... forward_to_self=true source=clear`
  - 1861 `[FIRE-EC] spawning _echo-commune --force prior_session=c52b0bc0-... forward_to_self=true source=clear`
  - 1862 `[ECHO] spawned pid=63156`
  - 1866 `--- ECHO_COMMUNE ... pid=61076 self_session=c52b0bc0-... fresh_session=0db5bd9c-... exit=0 stdout_bytes=1673 excerpt_bytes=64349 excerpt_lines=25 excerpt_dropped_errors=0 excerpt_source_error=ok ---`
  - 1871 `[MSG] from=<EVENT type="echo_commune" from="doyle-p...`
  - 1880-1883 emitted envelope: `<live-context></live-context>` + `<project-context></project-context>` — BOTH EMPTY
- **Timeline:** Observed 2026-06-02 ~05:12 on live agent `doyle` (project spt-core,
  branch dev-freeform). The dispatch source=clear (post-/clear FIRE-EC path).
- **Reproduction:** FIRE_ECHO_COMMUNE_NOW with source=clear, forward_to_self=true,
  after a /clear (prior_session set, fresh_session spawned).

## Key contrast (smoking gun candidates)

- A *normal* commune just before (log 1800-1848) emitted FULLY POPULATED
  live-context + project-context.
- The FIRE-EC echo_commune (exit=0, stdout_bytes=1673, excerpt_bytes=64349) reported
  success yet wrote empty slices — so the failure is in slice POPULATION/forwarding,
  not the spawn or the LLM excerpt capture (excerpt_source_error=ok, 64KB captured).
- Repeated line: `[LIVE-CONTEXT-POST-WRITE] skip no-project-slice self_id=doyle
  project_resolves=true prompt_had_project_ctx=false` (log 1852 and 1887) — fires both
  after the populated commune and after the empty echo. `prompt_had_project_ctx=false`
  may be the relevant branch: the echo path may not be threading the captured slices
  into the post-write persistence / forwarded envelope.

## Code entry points

- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs` — emits `[LIVE-CONTEXT-POST-WRITE] skip no-project-slice`,
  the FIRE-EC dispatch, `_echo-commune --force`, and ECHO_COMMUNE excerpt capture.
- Related prior work: Phase 25.3 (project-context envelope persistence/encoding defects).
- Distinct from existing echo debug sessions (double-envelope, gate-poll-exit,
  orphan-grace) — this is specifically empty slices on the forwarded FIRE-EC echo.

## Current Focus

- hypothesis: FIRE-EC echo_commune path (source=clear, forward_to_self) captures the
  fresh-session excerpt but does NOT thread the live-context/project-context slices
  into the forwarded envelope (or reads them from a slice source that is empty in the
  post-/clear fresh session), so the envelope is emitted with empty slices despite exit=0.
- next_action: gather initial evidence — trace _echo-commune --force slice assembly in
  src/live/wrapper/mod.rs; compare how normal commune populates slices vs the FIRE-EC
  forward path; check the `prompt_had_project_ctx=false` branch.

Debug session manager running in background (agent `fire-ec-empty-slices`). It owns the investigation loop — will surface checkpoints when it needs decisions.

Summary of what I seeded:
- **Bug:** FIRE-EC `_echo-commune --force` (source=clear) emits envelope with empty `<live-context>` + `<project-context>` despite exit=0, 64KB excerpt captured.
- **Suspect:** `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs` forward path — captures excerpt but doesn't thread slices into forwarded envelope; `prompt_had_project_ctx=false` branch.
- **Session file:** `.planning/debug/fire-ec-empty-slices.md`

Waiting on its completion notification.

## DEBUG SESSION COMPLETE

**Session:** C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\.planning\debug\fire-ec-empty-slices.md
**Root Cause:** The FIRE-EC `source=clear` re-emission path reuses the cadence echo-commune's *delta-summary* haiku prompt, so after a /clear (when the prior session's work is already in the on-disk snapshot) the haiku correctly computes an empty delta and emits empty `<live-context></live-context><project-context></project-context>` slices — the envelope faithfully forwards them; `source` is never threaded into `_echo-commune`'s argv, so the path cannot select a full re-hydration prompt.
**Fix:** not applied (find-and-fix could not auto-spawn a fix agent from this subagent context; recommended direction recorded in Resolution — add `--source` flag + a re-emit prompt variant in `run_echo_commune`).
**Cycles:** 1 (investigation) + 0 (fix)
**TDD:** no
**Specialist review:** none (hint=rust; no specialist skill maps to rust — proceed directly)

Notable constraint encountered: the Task tool is unavailable inside this subagent, so I could not spawn the `gsd-debugger` or a fix-continuation agent as the session-manager process normally would. I ran the full investigation loop directly instead. Forensic evidence is decisive — the smoking gun is the haiku session jsonl at `C:\Users\decid\.claude\projects\C--Users-decid-AppData-Local-spt-psyches-tracked\0db5bd9c-e73c-41bf-910e-016c92419d8b.jsonl`, where the haiku explicitly wrote "Nothing new to report" and emitted empty slice bodies by design.

Key load-bearing code sites:
- `src/owl/echo_commune.rs:1146-1173` — the delta-summary prompt (the mismatch).
- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs:1657-1668` + `src/live/wrapper/echo_fire.rs:323-342` — `source` logged but dropped; no `--source` flag in argv.
- `src/common/envelope.rs:84-93` — `extract_tag` returns `Some("")` for empty-bodied tags, so the empty slices pass through as present-but-empty.

To apply the fix, re-run `/gsd:debug continue fire-ec-empty-slices` (or `/gsd:plan-phase --gaps`) from a context where agent spawning is available; the debug file is now staged at `status: root_cause_found` with a recommended fix direction.</result>

11	## Symptoms
...
46	- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs` — emits `[LIVE-CONTEXT-POST-WRITE] skip no-project-slice`,
47	  the FIRE-EC dispatch, `_echo-commune --force`, and ECHO_COMMUNE excerpt capture.
48	- Related prior work: Phase 25.3 (project-context envelope persistence/encoding defects).
49	- Distinct from existing echo debug sessions (double-envelope, gate-poll-exit,
50	  orphan-grace) — this is specifically empty slices on the forwarded FIRE-EC echo.
51
52	## Current Focus
53
54	- hypothesis: CONFIRMED (revised). The FIRE-EC source=clear path reuses the cadence
55	  echo-commune's DELTA-summary haiku prompt. The haiku received full prior state
56	  (CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT + CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT, both populated) AND a 64KB delta
57	  excerpt, then DELIBERATELY emitted empty slice bodies because — per the prompt's
58	  delta-merge instruction — nothing in the excerpt was new relative to the snapshot.
59	  Empty slices are the prompt-sanctioned "in-project-but-quiet" signal. The envelope
60	  faithfully forwards what the haiku produced. Root cause is the prompt/intent mismatch
61	  for the clear-path, not a slice-threading or persistence bug.
62	- next_action: root cause found — see Resolution. Fix not yet applied.
63
64	## Evidence
65
66	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — Slice assembly traced. The forwarded echo_commune
67	  envelope body is NOT read from disk; it is the literal `[COMMUNE]...[/COMMUNE]`
68	  body the haiku child emits (`src/owl/echo_commune.rs:1365-1443`,
69	  `compose_echo_commune_payload` + `dispatch_commune_markers`). Whatever slice
70	  bodies the haiku writes are what Self receives.
71	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — Forensic jsonl of the haiku session
72	  (`~/.claude/projects/C--Users-decid-AppData-Local-spt-psyches-tracked/0db5bd9c-...jsonl`)
73	  shows the haiku's verbatim output:
74	  `"Nothing new to report. [COMMUNE]<live-context></live-context><project-context></project-context>[/COMMUNE]"`
75	  and its reasoning: *"The echo-input shows B2 completion and CI validation ... which
76	  the CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT already captured in full ... post-facto confirmation of work
77	  already described in the snapshot."* This is the haiku correctly following the
78	  delta-merge prompt (`echo_commune.rs:1146-1173`).
79	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — The haiku's INPUT prompt contained BOTH populated
80	  `CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT` and `CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT` blocks (verified in the jsonl).
81	  So `build_current_context_blocks` (`echo_commune.rs:916-959`) worked and the project
82	  resolved. The empty output is not caused by a missing snapshot or unresolved project.
83	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — FIRE-EC clear path threads NO source distinction into
84	  `_echo-commune`. `fire_echo_commune_force` (`src/live/wrapper/mod.rs:1657-1668`) →
85	  `fire_echo_commune_inner` → `build_inner_argv` (`src/live/wrapper/echo_fire.rs:323-342`)
86	  builds argv `[_echo-commune, --force, --forward-to-self, session_uuid, self_id, psyche_id]`.
87	  No `--source clear|compact` flag exists (the mod.rs:1647-1650 doc comment explicitly
88	  notes source is logged-only, never passed to argv). So `run_echo_commune` cannot
89	  switch prompt intent for the clear path even though it should.
90	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — `parse_two_slice` (`src/common/envelope.rs:84-93`) treats
91	  an empty-bodied `<live-context></live-context>` as `Some("")`, NOT `None`. The empty
92	  string then short-circuits as an empty slice through `route_two_slice_with_precedence`.
93	  The forwarded envelope therefore literally carries the empty tags the haiku produced.
94
95	## Eliminated
96
97	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — ELIMINATED: excerpt capture failure. `excerpt_bytes=64349`,
98	  `excerpt_source_error=ok`, `excerpt_lines=25` — the 64KB delta excerpt was captured
99	  from the prior session jsonl (`prior_session=c52b0bc0`) successfully.
100	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — ELIMINATED: spawn / wait failure. `exit=0`, fresh haiku
101	  session UUID parsed (`fresh_session=0db5bd9c`), `stdout_bytes=1673` — the subprocess
102	  ran cleanly.
103	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — ELIMINATED: slice-threading / disk-read bug in the forward
104	  path. The envelope body is the haiku's literal output, not a disk read; the haiku
105	  produced empty bodies on purpose.
106	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — ELIMINATED: `prompt_had_project_ctx=false` (mod.rs LIVE-CONTEXT-POST-WRITE)
107	  as the proximate cause. That is the INBOUND wrapper-side persistence skip and is a
108	  separate concern; the haiku's outbound prompt DID receive a populated project block.
109	- timestamp: 2026-06-02 — ELIMINATED: unresolved project name. The resolver chain
110	  (`resolve_self_project_name_via_info_cwd`) produced `spt-core`; the prompt carried
111	  `CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT (name=...)`.
112
113	## Resolution
114
115	- root_cause: The FIRE-EC `source=clear` re-emission path reuses the cadence
116	  echo-commune's DELTA-summary haiku prompt (`src/owl/echo_commune.rs:1146-1173`,
117	  "Produce a delta summary — what is NEW in the excerpt relative to CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT
118	  ... empty is the in-project-but-quiet signal"). After a /clear, the prior session's
119	  work is already reflected in the on-disk snapshot, so the delta is genuinely empty
120	  and the haiku faithfully emits `<live-context></live-context><project-context></project-context>`.
121	  The clear-path INTENT is a full re-hydration of Self (re-emit current context after a
122	  context wipe), not a delta — but `source` is never threaded into `_echo-commune`'s
123	  argv (`fire_echo_commune_force` logs it but drops it; no `--source` flag in
124	  `build_inner_argv`), so `run_echo_commune` cannot select a re-emit prompt. The
125	  proximate cause is a prompt/intent mismatch, not a forwarding or persistence defect.
126
127	- fix: not applied (root_cause_only outcome — Rust hint, no specialist skill maps to
128	  rust; proceeding without specialist). Recommended fix direction:
129	    1. Thread `source` into the echo-commune invocation: add a `--source clear|compact`
130	       flag in `build_inner_argv` / `fire_echo_commune_force` (the mod.rs:1647-1650 doc
131	       comment already anticipates this as deferred scope).
132	    2. In `run_echo_commune`, when `source == "clear"` (re-emit intent), select a
133	       RE-EMIT prompt variant that instructs the haiku to echo the CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT /
134	       CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT snapshot back VERBATIM into the slices (full re-hydration),
135	       rather than computing a delta. The cadence path keeps the existing delta prompt.
136	    3. Optional defensive guard: when forwarding to Self (forward_to_self=true) and the
137	       haiku emits empty slices, fall back to forwarding the on-disk snapshot
138	       (`build_current_context_blocks`) so a quiet delta never delivers a hollow
139	       re-hydration envelope.

## ROOT CAUSE FOUND — `fire-ec-empty-slices`

**Not a slice-threading or persistence bug.** Prompt/intent mismatch.

FIRE-EC `source=clear` path reuses cadence echo-commune's **delta-summary** haiku prompt. After /clear, prior work already in on-disk snapshot → delta genuinely empty → haiku correctly emits `<live-context></live-context><project-context></project-context>`. Envelope faithfully forwards the empty bodies.

Forensic proof: haiku jsonl `0db5bd9c-...jsonl` — haiku wrote *"Nothing new to report"* + empty slices **by design**.

The clear-path INTENT = full re-hydration after wipe, NOT delta. But `source` logged-only, never threaded into `_echo-commune` argv → `run_echo_commune` can't pick re-emit prompt.

**Load-bearing sites:**
- `src/owl/echo_commune.rs:1146-1173` — delta prompt (the mismatch)
- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs:1657-1668` + `src/live/wrapper/echo_fire.rs:323-342` — `source` dropped, no `--source` flag
- `src/common/envelope.rs:84-93` — `extract_tag` returns `Some("")` for empty tag, passes through as present-but-empty

**Recommended fix (3 parts):**
1. Add `--source clear|compact` flag in `build_inner_argv` / `fire_echo_commune_force`
2. In `run_echo_commune`, `source=="clear"` → re-emit prompt variant (echo snapshot verbatim, full re-hydration) instead of delta
3. Optional guard: `forward_to_self=true` + empty slices → fall back to on-disk snapshot

Fix **not applied** — session manager subagent couldn't spawn fix agent. Session staged `status: root_cause_found`.

I'm in main context — can apply fix now. How proceed?


AskUserQuestion

Question: Apply the recommended FIRE-EC source=clear fix now?

Choices:

Fix spans 4 source files + interlocking test updates (argv-shape tests, the mod.rs:3316 source-text assertion, force_flag parse tests) + cargo build/test cycle. Worktrees disabled here, so in-place. Delegating to a fix agent in background so I stay reachable; it's fully specified, no checkpoints needed.


Agent

Apply FIRE-EC source=clear fix

Prompt:
Apply a fully-specified bug fix in the SPT (owl) Rust codebase. Root cause is confirmed in `.planning/debug/fire-ec-empty-slices.md` (read it first for full forensics). Implement all three parts, get `cargo build --release` AND `cargo test` green, then commit atomically. Do NOT deploy.

## Bug
FIRE-EC `source=clear` re-emission (fired after a /clear to re-hydrate Self) reuses the cadence echo-commune's DELTA-summary haiku prompt. Post-/clear the prior work is already in the on-disk snapshot, so the delta is genuinely empty and the haiku faithfully emits `<live-context></live-context><project-context></project-context>` — Self receives a hollow re-hydration envelope. `source` is logged but never threaded into `_echo-commune`'s argv, so `run_echo_commune` cannot select a re-emit prompt.

## Fix — 3 parts

### Part 1 — thread `source` into the echo-commune invocation
- `src/cli.rs` ~line 261 `EchoCommune` command: add an optional flag `#[arg(long)] source: Option<String>` (after `forward_to_self`, before the positionals). Keep positionals (`session_uuid`, `self_id`, `psyche_id`) in their current order — clap puts flags before positionals so backward-compat callers without `--source` still parse.
- `src/owl/mod.rs:180-181`: destructure the new `source` field and pass it through to `run_echo_commune`.
- `src/live/wrapper/echo_fire.rs`:
  - `build_inner_argv` (line 323): add a `source: Option<&str>` param; when `Some(s)`, push `"--source"` then `s.to_string()` as flags BEFORE the positional args (alongside `--force`/`--forward-to-self`). Update the doc-comment shape line 319.
  - `fire_echo_commune_inner` (line 272): add `source: Option<&str>` param, forward to `build_inner_argv`.
  - cadence caller at line 259 `fire_echo_commune_if_due`: pass `None` (cadence keeps the delta prompt).
- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs` `fire_echo_commune_force` (line 1657): thread its `source: &str` into `fire_echo_commune_inner(prior_uuid, true, forward_to_self, Some(source))`. Update the doc comment at 1643-1656 noting source is now threaded.
- `src/live/wrapper/orphan.rs` `build_orphan_fire_args` / its caller: orphan path has NO Self (`--forward-to-self` deliberately absent). Pass `source=None` (or omit) so its argv stays exactly as the Test E/E2/H regression tests assert. DO NOT add `--source` to the orphan argv.

### Part 2 — re-emit prompt variant in `run_echo_commune`
- `src/owl/echo_commune.rs` `run_echo_commune` (line 1056): add `source: Option<&str>` param.
- Around the prompt build (lines 1146-1173): when `source == Some("clear")`, build a RE-EMIT prompt instead of the delta prompt. The re-emit prompt instructs the haiku: this is a post-/clear context re-hydration — echo the CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT and CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT snapshot back VERBATIM into `<live-context>`/`<project-context>` (do NOT compute a delta, do NOT emit empty slices when a snapshot block was inlined). Keep the same `[COMMUNE]`/two-slice envelope output contract and the same "emit BOTH only when CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT was inlined" rule. For `source == Some("compact")`, `None`, or any other value, keep the EXISTING delta prompt unchanged (cadence/compact behavior must not regress).

### Part 3 — defensive snapshot fallback
- In the Self-dispatch path (`forward_to_self == true`, step 8 / dispatch region ~lines 1360-1443): if the haiku emitted EMPTY slice bodies, fall back to forwarding the on-disk snapshot from `build_current_context_blocks(self_id)` (line 916) so a quiet delta never delivers a hollow re-hydration envelope to Self. This is a belt-and-suspenders guard independent of Part 2. Note `parse_two_slice`/`extract_tag` in `src/common/envelope.rs:84-93` returns `Some("")` for an empty-bodied tag — treat `Some("")` (empty/whitespace-only) the same as missing for this guard. Only applies when forwarding to Self; the Psyche-bundle delivery keeps the haiku's literal output.

## Tests to update / add (this is where the churn is)
- `src/live/wrapper/echo_fire.rs` argv tests (~581-645): update build_inner_argv call sites for the new param; add a case asserting `--source clear` appears before positionals when `Some("clear")`, and absent when `None`.
- `src/owl/echo_commune.rs` `force_flag_tests` parse tests (~3093-3200): add coverage for `--source clear` / `--source compact` parsing and a no-`--source` backward-compat case (parses to `None`).
- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs` source-introspection test (~3316) asserts the literal call string `self.fire_echo_commune_inner(prior_uuid, true, forward_to_self)` — update it to match the new 4-arg call (`..., Some(source)`).
- Add a focused unit test that `source == Some("clear")` selects the re-emit prompt (e.g. assert the prompt text contains the re-emit instruction / verbatim-echo language and NOT the "delta summary" language) and that `None`/`Some("compact")` selects the delta prompt.
- Update any other call sites of the four changed signatures the compiler flags.

## Done criteria
- `cargo build --release` clean (no warnings under the project's `-D warnings` clippy posture if it runs in CI; at minimum no errors).
- `cargo test` green.
- One atomic commit. Message body explains the prompt/intent mismatch root cause. End the commit message with the trailer:
  `Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>`
- Update `.planning/debug/fire-ec-empty-slices.md` frontmatter `status: resolved` and fill the Resolution `fix:` field with what you actually changed + the commit sha.
- Do NOT run DEPLOY.ps1 or any deploy step.

Report back: files changed, test results, commit sha, and anything you had to deviate from this spec.

Apply FIRE-EC source=clear fix

Prompt:
Apply a fully-specified bug fix in the SPT (owl) Rust codebase. Root cause is confirmed in `.planning/debug/fire-ec-empty-slices.md` (read it first for full forensics). Implement all three parts, get `cargo build --release` AND `cargo test` green, then commit atomically. Do NOT deploy.

## Bug
FIRE-EC `source=clear` re-emission (fired after a /clear to re-hydrate Self) reuses the cadence echo-commune's DELTA-summary haiku prompt. Post-/clear the prior work is already in the on-disk snapshot, so the delta is genuinely empty and the haiku faithfully emits `<live-context></live-context><project-context></project-context>` — Self receives a hollow re-hydration envelope. `source` is logged but never threaded into `_echo-commune`'s argv, so `run_echo_commune` cannot select a re-emit prompt.

## Fix — 3 parts

### Part 1 — thread `source` into the echo-commune invocation
- `src/cli.rs` ~line 261 `EchoCommune` command: add an optional flag `#[arg(long)] source: Option<String>` (after `forward_to_self`, before the positionals). Keep positionals (`session_uuid`, `self_id`, `psyche_id`) in their current order — clap puts flags before positionals so backward-compat callers without `--source` still parse.
- `src/owl/mod.rs:180-181`: destructure the new `source` field and pass it through to `run_echo_commune`.
- `src/live/wrapper/echo_fire.rs`:
  - `build_inner_argv` (line 323): add a `source: Option<&str>` param; when `Some(s)`, push `"--source"` then `s.to_string()` as flags BEFORE the positional args (alongside `--force`/`--forward-to-self`). Update the doc-comment shape line 319.
  - `fire_echo_commune_inner` (line 272): add `source: Option<&str>` param, forward to `build_inner_argv`.
  - cadence caller at line 259 `fire_echo_commune_if_due`: pass `None` (cadence keeps the delta prompt).
- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs` `fire_echo_commune_force` (line 1657): thread its `source: &str` into `fire_echo_commune_inner(prior_uuid, true, forward_to_self, Some(source))`. Update the doc comment at 1643-1656 noting source is now threaded.
- `src/live/wrapper/orphan.rs` `build_orphan_fire_args` / its caller: orphan path has NO Self (`--forward-to-self` deliberately absent). Pass `source=None` (or omit) so its argv stays exactly as the Test E/E2/H regression tests assert. DO NOT add `--source` to the orphan argv.

### Part 2 — re-emit prompt variant in `run_echo_commune`
- `src/owl/echo_commune.rs` `run_echo_commune` (line 1056): add `source: Option<&str>` param.
- Around the prompt build (lines 1146-1173): when `source == Some("clear")`, build a RE-EMIT prompt instead of the delta prompt. The re-emit prompt instructs the haiku: this is a post-/clear context re-hydration — echo the CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT and CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT snapshot back VERBATIM into `<live-context>`/`<project-context>` (do NOT compute a delta, do NOT emit empty slices when a snapshot block was inlined). Keep the same `[COMMUNE]`/two-slice envelope output contract and the same "emit BOTH only when CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT was inlined" rule. For `source == Some("compact")`, `None`, or any other value, keep the EXISTING delta prompt unchanged (cadence/compact behavior must not regress).

### Part 3 — defensive snapshot fallback
- In the Self-dispatch path (`forward_to_self == true`, step 8 / dispatch region ~lines 1360-1443): if the haiku emitted EMPTY slice bodies, fall back to forwarding the on-disk snapshot from `build_current_context_blocks(self_id)` (line 916) so a quiet delta never delivers a hollow re-hydration envelope to Self. This is a belt-and-suspenders guard independent of Part 2. Note `parse_two_slice`/`extract_tag` in `src/common/envelope.rs:84-93` returns `Some("")` for an empty-bodied tag — treat `Some("")` (empty/whitespace-only) the same as missing for this guard. Only applies when forwarding to Self; the Psyche-bundle delivery keeps the haiku's literal output.

## Tests to update / add (this is where the churn is)
- `src/live/wrapper/echo_fire.rs` argv tests (~581-645): update build_inner_argv call sites for the new param; add a case asserting `--source clear` appears before positionals when `Some("clear")`, and absent when `None`.
- `src/owl/echo_commune.rs` `force_flag_tests` parse tests (~3093-3200): add coverage for `--source clear` / `--source compact` parsing and a no-`--source` backward-compat case (parses to `None`).
- `src/live/wrapper/mod.rs` source-introspection test (~3316) asserts the literal call string `self.fire_echo_commune_inner(prior_uuid, true, forward_to_self)` — update it to match the new 4-arg call (`..., Some(source)`).
- Add a focused unit test that `source == Some("clear")` selects the re-emit prompt (e.g. assert the prompt text contains the re-emit instruction / verbatim-echo language and NOT the "delta summary" language) and that `None`/`Some("compact")` selects the delta prompt.
- Update any other call sites of the four changed signatures the compiler flags.

## Done criteria
- `cargo build --release` clean (no warnings under the project's `-D warnings` clippy posture if it runs in CI; at minimum no errors).
- `cargo test` green.
- One atomic commit. Message body explains the prompt/intent mismatch root cause. End the commit message with the trailer:
  `Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>`
- Update `.planning/debug/fire-ec-empty-slices.md` frontmatter `status: resolved` and fill the Resolution `fix:` field with what you actually changed + the commit sha.
- Do NOT run DEPLOY.ps1 or any deploy step.

Report back: files changed, test results, commit sha, and anything you had to deviate from this spec.


Fix agent running in background (full 3-part spec + tests + build/test + atomic commit). Will notify on completion.

**Status:**
- ✅ Root cause found — prompt/intent mismatch, not a threading bug. `source=clear` reuses delta prompt → empty slices post-/clear.
- 🔄 Fix in progress (background): `--source` flag threading + re-emit prompt variant + snapshot fallback guard + test churn (argv-shape, parse, mod.rs:3316 source-text assert).
- Session: `.planning/debug/fire-ec-empty-slices.md`

Waiting on completion notification.

## Report

### Files changed (all in one atomic commit `c965c4a`)
- `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\src\cli.rs` — added optional `#[arg(long)] source: Option<String>` to the `EchoCommune` command (before positionals; backward-compatible clap parse).
- `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\src\owl\mod.rs` — destructured `source` and forwarded `source.as_deref()` into `run_echo_commune`.
- `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\src\live\wrapper\echo_fire.rs` — `build_inner_argv` + `fire_echo_commune_inner` gained `source: Option<&str>` (emits `--source <value>` before positionals when `Some`); cadence caller passes `None`. Plus new argv unit tests.
- `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\src\live\wrapper\mod.rs` — `fire_echo_commune_force` threads `Some(source)`; doc comment updated; source-introspection test updated to the 4-arg call string.
- `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\src\owl\echo_commune.rs` — `run_echo_commune` signature `+ source`; extracted `build_echo_commune_prompt` (re-emit vs delta selection); added `two_slice_effectively_empty` + `snapshot_two_slice_body`; `dispatch_commune_markers` gained a `self_body_override` closure for the Self-leg snapshot fallback; new `fire_ec_empty_slices_tests` module + `--source` clap parse tests.
- `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\tests\native_wrapper_state_retry.rs` — pre-existing compile-break fix (3 missing `pulse_psyche` fields).
- `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\.planning\debug\fire-ec-empty-slices.md` — `status: resolved` + Resolution `fix:` filled in.

### Test results
- `cargo build --release`: clean (only pre-existing dead-code/unused-import warnings in files I did not touch).
- `cargo test --lib -- --test-threads=1`: **980 passed, 0 failed, 5 ignored.** All new tests pass (10 in `fire_ec_empty_slices_tests`, 3 new `--source` parse tests, updated argv tests).
- The previously-broken `native_wrapper_state_retry` crate now compiles and passes (4/4).

### Deviations from spec
1. **Orphan path (`orphan.rs`) needed no change.** The spec said "Pass `source=None` (or omit)". In reality the orphan path never calls `fire_echo_commune_inner` — it builds argv via its own `build_orphan_fire_args` and dispatches synchronously. So it already carries no `--source`; I left it untouched, preserving Tests E/E2/H exactly.
2. **Three pre-existing, unrelated test failures** (verified by stashing my changes and reproducing on the pristine `main` tree):
   - `psyche_md_forbids_projects_write_tool_calls` — an un-applied debug-doc fix; the required sentence was never added to `psyche.md` (I did not touch `psyche.md`).
   - `deferred_send_does_not_wake_idle_poll` — a native-poll timing flake.
   - `current_version_honors_override_in_debug_builds` — gated on `debug_assertions`, so it only passes in debug (fails under `--release`, by design).
   Additionally `route_two_slice_project_worktree_materializes_dotgit_marker` passes in isolation and single-threaded `--lib` runs, but flakes under multi-crate `cargo test` due to pre-existing cross-test cwd/git-state pollution — not caused by this fix.
3. **I committed via `git commit -F -` rather than `gsd-sdk query commit`** (that tooling is for the GSD review-fix orchestrator workflow, not this direct Rust fix task). Per the worktrees-disabled project memory and the explicit one-atomic-commit instruction, I worked and committed directly on `main`.
4. Did NOT run DEPLOY.ps1 or any deploy step, and did NOT stage the pre-existing dirty `Cargo.lock`.

## DONE — FIRE-EC empty slices fixed

**Commit:** `c965c4a` "fix: thread FIRE-EC source into echo-commune so clear re-hydration re-emits context" (7 files, +791/-53, atomic, on `main`, not deployed).

**Root cause:** `source=clear` re-emission reused cadence DELTA prompt. Post-/clear, delta genuinely empty → haiku emitted empty slices by design → hollow re-hydration envelope to Self. `source` logged but never threaded to argv.

**Fix (3 parts):**
1. `--source` flag threaded: `cli.rs` → `owl/mod.rs` → `echo_fire.rs` (`build_inner_argv`/`fire_echo_commune_inner`) → `wrapper/mod.rs` (`fire_echo_commune_force`). Cadence passes `None` (delta unchanged).
2. `run_echo_commune` extracted `build_echo_commune_prompt` — `Some("clear")` → re-emit prompt (echo snapshot verbatim); `compact`/`None`/other → delta unchanged.
3. Self-leg snapshot fallback: empty haiku slices → forward `build_current_context_blocks` snapshot (`two_slice_effectively_empty` + `self_body_override`). Psyche bundle keeps literal output.

**Tests:** 980 passed / 0 failed. New: 10 `fire_ec_empty_slices_tests` + 3 `--source` parse + argv cases. Fixed pre-existing compile break in `native_wrapper_state_retry.rs` (missing `pulse_psyche` fields).

**Notes:**
- Orphan path untouched — never calls the inner fn, carries no `--source`, Tests E/E2/H intact.
- 3 pre-existing unrelated failures confirmed on pristine `main` (psyche.md doc fix never applied, poll timing flake, debug-only version test under `--release`) — not caused by this fix.
- Session `.planning/debug/fire-ec-empty-slices.md` → `status: resolved`.
