<purpose>
Review source files changed during a phase for bugs, security issues, and code quality problems. Computes file scope (--files override > SUMMARY.md > git diff fallback), checks config gate, spawns gsd-code-reviewer agent, commits REVIEW.md, and presents results to user.
</purpose>

<required_reading>
Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting.
</required_reading>

<process>

<step name="initialize">
Parse arguments and load project state:

```bash
PHASE_ARG="${1}"
INIT=$(gsd-sdk query init.phase-op "${PHASE_ARG}")
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
```

Parse from init JSON: `phase_found`, `phase_dir`, `phase_number`, `phase_name`, `padded_phase`, `commit_docs`.

**Input sanitization (defense-in-depth):**
```bash
# Validate PADDED_PHASE contains only digits and optional dot (e.g., "02", "03.1")
if ! [[ "$PADDED_PHASE" =~ ^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?$ ]]; then
  echo "Error: Invalid phase number format: '${PADDED_PHASE}'. Expected digits (e.g., 02, 03.1)."
  # Exit workflow
fi
```

**Phase validation (before config gate):**
If `phase_found` is false, report error and exit:
```
Error: Phase ${PHASE_ARG} not found. Run /gsd:progress to see available phases.
```

This runs BEFORE config gate check so user errors are surfaced immediately regardless of config state.

Parse optional flags from $ARGUMENTS:

**--depth flag:**
```bash
DEPTH_OVERRIDE=""
for arg in "$@"; do
  if [[ "$arg" == --depth=* ]]; then
    DEPTH_OVERRIDE="${arg#--depth=}"
  fi
done
```

**--files flag:**
```bash
FILES_OVERRIDE=""
for arg in "$@"; do
  if [[ "$arg" == --files=* ]]; then
    FILES_OVERRIDE="${arg#--files=}"
  fi
done
```

If FILES_OVERRIDE is set, split by comma into array:
```bash
if [ -n "$FILES_OVERRIDE" ]; then
  IFS=',' read -ra FILES_ARRAY <<< "$FILES_OVERRIDE"
fi
```
</step>

<step name="check_config_gate">
Check if code review is enabled via config:

```bash
CODE_REVIEW_ENABLED=$(gsd-sdk query config-get workflow.code_review 2>/dev/null || echo "true")
```

If CODE_REVIEW_ENABLED is "false":
```
Code review skipped (workflow.code_review=false in config)
```
Exit workflow.

Default is true — only skip on explicit false. This check runs AFTER phase validation so invalid phase errors are shown first.
</step>

<step name="resolve_depth">
Determine review depth with priority order:

1. DEPTH_OVERRIDE from --depth flag (highest priority)
2. Config value: `gsd-sdk query config-get workflow.code_review_depth 2>/dev/null`
3. Default: "standard"

```bash
if [ -n "$DEPTH_OVERRIDE" ]; then
  REVIEW_DEPTH="$DEPTH_OVERRIDE"
else
  CONFIG_DEPTH=$(gsd-sdk query config-get workflow.code_review_depth 2>/dev/null || echo "")
  REVIEW_DEPTH="${CONFIG_DEPTH:-standard}"
fi
```

**Validate depth value:**
```bash
case "$REVIEW_DEPTH" in
  quick|standard|deep)
    # Valid
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Warning: Invalid depth '${REVIEW_DEPTH}'. Valid values: quick, standard, deep. Using 'standard'."
    REVIEW_DEPTH="standard"
    ;;
esac
```
</step>

<step name="compute_file_scope">
Three-tier scoping with explicit precedence:

**Tier 1 — --files override (highest precedence per D-08):**

If FILES_OVERRIDE is set (from --files flag):
```bash
if [ -n "$FILES_OVERRIDE" ]; then
  REVIEW_FILES=()
  REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)

  for file_path in "${FILES_ARRAY[@]}"; do
    # Security: validate path is within repository (prevent path traversal)
    ABS_PATH=$(realpath -m "${file_path}" 2>/dev/null || echo "${file_path}")
    if [[ "$ABS_PATH" != "$REPO_ROOT"* ]]; then
      echo "Error: File path outside repository, skipping: ${file_path}"
      continue
    fi

    # Validate path exists (relative to repo root)
    if [ -f "${REPO_ROOT}/${file_path}" ] || [ -f "${file_path}" ]; then
      REVIEW_FILES+=("$file_path")
    else
      echo "Warning: File not found, skipping: ${file_path}"
    fi
  done

  echo "File scope: ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} files from --files override"
fi
```

Skip SUMMARY/git scoping entirely when --files is provided.

**Tier 2 — SUMMARY.md extraction (primary per D-01):**

If --files NOT provided:
```bash
if [ -z "$FILES_OVERRIDE" ]; then
  SUMMARIES=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SUMMARY.md 2>/dev/null)
  REVIEW_FILES=()

  if [ -n "$SUMMARIES" ]; then
    for summary in $SUMMARIES; do
      # Extract key_files.created and key_files.modified using node for reliable YAML parsing
      # This avoids fragile awk parsing that breaks on indentation differences
      EXTRACTED=$(node -e "
        const fs = require('fs');
        const content = fs.readFileSync('$summary', 'utf-8');
        const match = content.match(/^---\n([\s\S]*?)\n---/);
        if (!match) { process.exit(0); }
        const yaml = match[1];
        const files = [];
        let inSection = null;
        for (const line of yaml.split('\n')) {
          if (/^\s+created:/.test(line)) { inSection = 'created'; continue; }
          if (/^\s+modified:/.test(line)) { inSection = 'modified'; continue; }
          if (/^\s*[\w-]+:/.test(line) && !/^\s*-/.test(line)) { inSection = null; continue; }
          if (inSection && /^\s+-\s+(.+)/.test(line)) {
            let raw = line.match(/^\s+-\s+(.+)/)[1].trim();
            raw = raw.replace(/^['"]|['"]$/g, '');
            raw = raw.replace(/\s+\([^)]*\)\s*$/, '');
            raw = raw.split(/\s+—\s/)[0].trim();
            if (/\//.test(raw) && /\.[A-Za-z0-9]+$/.test(raw)) {
              files.push(raw);
            }
          }
        }
        if (files.length) console.log(files.join('\n'));
      " 2>/dev/null)

      # Add extracted files to REVIEW_FILES array
      if [ -n "$EXTRACTED" ]; then
        while IFS= read -r file; do
          if [ -n "$file" ]; then
            REVIEW_FILES+=("$file")
          fi
        done <<< "$EXTRACTED"
      fi
    done

    if [ ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
      echo "Warning: SUMMARY artifacts found but contained no file paths. Falling back to git diff."


Bash

cat "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/code-review.md" 2>/dev/null | sed -n '200,500p'

More workflow


      echo "Warning: SUMMARY artifacts found but contained no file paths. Falling back to git diff."
    fi
  fi
fi
```

**Tier 3 — Git diff fallback (per D-02):**

If no SUMMARY.md files found OR no files extracted from them:
```bash
if [ ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
  # Compute diff base from phase commits — fail closed if no reliable base found
  PHASE_COMMITS=$(git log --oneline --all --grep="${PADDED_PHASE}" --format="%H" 2>/dev/null)

  if [ -n "$PHASE_COMMITS" ]; then
    DIFF_BASE=$(echo "$PHASE_COMMITS" | tail -1)^

    # Verify the parent commit exists (first commit in repo has no parent)
    if ! git rev-parse "${DIFF_BASE}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
      DIFF_BASE=$(echo "$PHASE_COMMITS" | tail -1)
    fi

    # Run git diff with specific exclusions (per D-03)
    DIFF_FILES=$(git diff --name-only "${DIFF_BASE}..HEAD" -- . \
      ':!.planning/' ':!ROADMAP.md' ':!STATE.md' \
      ':!*-SUMMARY.md' ':!*-VERIFICATION.md' ':!*-PLAN.md' \
      ':!package-lock.json' ':!yarn.lock' ':!Gemfile.lock' ':!poetry.lock' 2>/dev/null)

    while IFS= read -r file; do
      [ -n "$file" ] && REVIEW_FILES+=("$file")
    done <<< "$DIFF_FILES"

    echo "File scope: ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} files from git diff (base: ${DIFF_BASE})"
  else
    # Fail closed — no reliable diff base found. Do not use arbitrary HEAD~N.
    echo "Warning: No phase commits found for '${PADDED_PHASE}'. Cannot determine reliable diff scope."
    echo "Use --files flag to specify files explicitly: /gsd:code-review ${PHASE_ARG} --files=file1,file2,..."
  fi
fi
```

**Post-processing (all tiers):**

1. **Apply exclusions (per D-03):** Remove paths matching planning artifacts
```bash
FILTERED_FILES=()
for file in "${REVIEW_FILES[@]}"; do
  # Skip planning directory and specific artifacts
  if [[ "$file" == .planning/* ]] || \
     [[ "$file" == ROADMAP.md ]] || \
     [[ "$file" == STATE.md ]] || \
     [[ "$file" == *-SUMMARY.md ]] || \
     [[ "$file" == *-VERIFICATION.md ]] || \
     [[ "$file" == *-PLAN.md ]]; then
    continue
  fi
  FILTERED_FILES+=("$file")
done
REVIEW_FILES=("${FILTERED_FILES[@]}")
```

2. **Filter deleted files:** Remove paths that don't exist on disk
```bash
EXISTING_FILES=()
DELETED_COUNT=0
for file in "${REVIEW_FILES[@]}"; do
  if [ -f "$file" ]; then
    EXISTING_FILES+=("$file")
  else
    DELETED_COUNT=$((DELETED_COUNT + 1))
  fi
done
REVIEW_FILES=("${EXISTING_FILES[@]}")

if [ $DELETED_COUNT -gt 0 ]; then
  echo "Filtered $DELETED_COUNT deleted files from review scope"
fi
```

3. **Deduplicate:** Remove duplicate paths (portable — bash 3.2+ compatible, handles spaces in paths)
```bash
DEDUPED=()
while IFS= read -r line; do
  [ -n "$line" ] && DEDUPED+=("$line")
done < <(printf '%s\n' "${REVIEW_FILES[@]}" | sort -u)
REVIEW_FILES=("${DEDUPED[@]}")
```

4. **Sort:** Alphabetical sort for reproducible agent input (already sorted by sort -u above)

**Log final scope and warn if large:**
```bash
if [ -n "$FILES_OVERRIDE" ]; then
  TIER="--files override"
elif [ -n "$SUMMARIES" ] && [ ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} -gt 0 ]; then
  TIER="SUMMARY.md"
else
  TIER="git diff"
fi
echo "File scope: ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} files from ${TIER}"

# Warn if file count is very large — may exceed agent context or produce superficial review
if [ ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} -gt 50 ]; then
  echo "Warning: ${#REVIEW_FILES[@]} files is a large review scope."
  echo "Consider using --files to narrow scope, or --depth=quick for a faster pass."
  if [ "$REVIEW_DEPTH" = "deep" ]; then
    echo "Switching from deep to standard depth for large file count."
    REVIEW_DEPTH="standard"
  fi
fi
```
</step>

<step name="check_empty_scope">
If REVIEW_FILES is empty:
```
No source files changed in phase ${PHASE_ARG}. Skipping review.
```
Exit workflow. Do NOT spawn agent or create REVIEW.md.
</step>

<step name="structural_pre_pass">
Optional structural cross-module pass powered by fallow.

Read fallow config gates:
```bash
FALLOW_ENABLED=$(gsd-sdk query config-get code_quality.fallow.enabled 2>/dev/null || echo "false")
FALLOW_SCOPE=$(gsd-sdk query config-get code_quality.fallow.scope 2>/dev/null || echo "phase")
FALLOW_PROFILE=$(gsd-sdk query config-get code_quality.fallow.profile 2>/dev/null || echo "standard")
FALLOW_MCP=$(gsd-sdk query config-get code_quality.fallow.mcp 2>/dev/null || echo "false")
```

Defaults are fail-closed and opt-in:
- `enabled=false` (skip entirely)
- `scope=phase`
- `profile=standard`
- `mcp=false`

When `FALLOW_ENABLED=true`:

1) Resolve binary via PATH first, then `node_modules/.bin/fallow`.
```bash
FALLOW_BIN=$(FALLOW_CWD="$(pwd)" node -e "
const { resolveFallowBinary } = require('./get-shit-done/bin/lib/fallow-runner.cjs');
const resolved = resolveFallowBinary({ cwd: process.env.FALLOW_CWD });
if (resolved) process.stdout.write(resolved);
")
```

2) If binary is missing, fail with actionable message:
```bash
if [ -z \"$FALLOW_BIN\" ]; then
  echo \"Error: fallow is enabled but no binary was found.\"
  echo \"Install fallow via \`npm install -D fallow\` or \`cargo install fallow\`.\"
  # Exit workflow
fi
```

3) Execute structural pass and persist JSON (bounded at 120s; on timeout, behaves as a fallow crash):
```bash
FALLOW_JSON_PATH="${PHASE_DIR}/FALLOW.json"
FALLOW_STDERR_TMP=$(mktemp)
if [ \"$FALLOW_SCOPE\" = \"repo\" ]; then
  timeout 120 \"$FALLOW_BIN\" audit --json --profile \"$FALLOW_PROFILE\" > \"${FALLOW_JSON_PATH}.tmp\" 2>\"$FALLOW_STDERR_TMP\"
  FALLOW_EXIT=$?
else
  # phase scope: pass the already-computed review file set
  printf '%s\n' \"${REVIEW_FILES[@]}\" | timeout 120 \"$FALLOW_BIN\" audit --json --profile \"$FALLOW_PROFILE\" --stdin-files > \"${FALLOW_JSON_PATH}.tmp\" 2>\"$FALLOW_STDERR_TMP\"
  FALLOW_EXIT=$?
fi
if [ $FALLOW_EXIT -ne 0 ]; then
  FALLOW_STDERR_SUMMARY=$(head -5 \"$FALLOW_STDERR_TMP\")
  rm -f \"${FALLOW_JSON_PATH}.tmp\" \"$FALLOW_STDERR_TMP\"
  echo \"WARNING: fallow structural pre-pass failed: ${FALLOW_STDERR_SUMMARY}\"
  FALLOW_JSON_PATH=""
else
  mv \"${FALLOW_JSON_PATH}.tmp\" \"$FALLOW_JSON_PATH\"
  rm -f \"$FALLOW_STDERR_TMP\"
fi
```

On any failure of the structural pre-pass (binary missing, non-zero exit, timeout, or JSON parse error), the workflow continues with no `<structural_findings>` injection; the reviewer agent receives a normal review request.

4) Optional MCP bridge path (runtime-dependent):
- If `FALLOW_MCP=true`, set reviewer input mode to MCP-backed structural findings.
- Otherwise pass static JSON findings from `FALLOW.json`.

When disabled, set:
```bash
FALLOW_JSON_PATH=""
```
</step>

<step name="spawn_reviewer">
Compute the review output path:
```bash
REVIEW_PATH="${PHASE_DIR}/${PADDED_PHASE}-REVIEW.md"
```

Compute DIFF_BASE for agent context (in case agent needs it):
```bash
PHASE_COMMITS=$(git log --oneline --all --grep="${PADDED_PHASE}" --format="%H" 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$PHASE_COMMITS" ]; then
  DIFF_BASE=$(echo "$PHASE_COMMITS" | tail -1)^
else
  DIFF_BASE=""
fi
```

Build files_to_read block for agent:
```bash
FILES_TO_READ=""
for file in "${REVIEW_FILES[@]}"; do
  FILES_TO_READ+="- ${file}\n"
done
```

Build config block for agent:
```bash
CONFIG_FILES=""
for file in "${REVIEW_FILES[@]}"; do
  CONFIG_FILES+="  - ${file}\n"
done
```

Build structural findings block for agent:
```bash
STRUCTURAL_FINDINGS_BLOCK=""
MAX_FINDINGS_SIZE=50000
if [ -n "$FALLOW_JSON_PATH" ] && [ -f "$FALLOW_JSON_PATH" ]; then
  FALLOW_JSON_SIZE=$(wc -c < "$FALLOW_JSON_PATH" | tr -d '[:space:]')
  if [ "$FALLOW_JSON_SIZE" -le "$MAX_FINDINGS_SIZE" ]; then
    # Escape any literal closing tag before embedding; the closing tag literal is escaped to prevent prompt-structure breakage if a fallow finding's file path or message contains the sequence.
    SAFE_FALLOW_JSON=$(sed 's#</structural_findings>#<\/structural_findings>#g' "$FALLOW_JSON_PATH")
    STRUCTURAL_FINDINGS_BLOCK=$(printf '<structural_findings>\n%s\n</structural_findings>\n' "$SAFE_FALLOW_JSON")
  else
    echo "Warning: skipping structural findings embed (${FALLOW_JSON_SIZE} bytes > ${MAX_FINDINGS_SIZE} bytes). Re-run with narrower scope/profile if needed."
  fi
fi
```

Spawn the gsd-code-reviewer agent:

```
Agent(subagent_type="gsd-code-reviewer", prompt="
<files_to_read>
${FILES_TO_READ}
</files_to_read>

${STRUCTURAL_FINDINGS_BLOCK}

Review the listed source files at ${REVIEW_DEPTH} depth. Write findings to ${REVIEW_PATH}.
Do NOT commit the output — the orchestrator handles that.
")
```

> **ORCHESTRATOR RULE — CODEX RUNTIME**: After calling Agent() above, stop working on this task immediately. Do not read more files, edit code, or run tests related to this task while the subagent is active. Wait for the subagent to return its result. This prevents duplicate work, conflicting edits, and wasted context. Only resume when the subagent result is available.

**Agent failure handling:**

If the Agent() call fails (agent error, timeout, or exception):
```
Error: Code review agent failed: ${error_message}

No REVIEW.md created. You can retry with /gsd:code-review ${PHASE_ARG} or check agent logs.
```

Do NOT proceed to commit_review step. Do NOT create a partial or empty REVIEW.md. Exit workflow.

## Summary

**Status:** issues_found — 2 BLOCKER (critical), 7 WARNING, 6 INFO

### Critical findings

**CR-01 — `list_filter::collect` is_online conflates "no info.json" with "BUSY PID"** (`src/common/list_filter.rs:182-195`). The else branch returns `is_online = true` whenever `get_pid_from_info` returns None — which is exactly the orphan-candidate condition. An info.json-missing perch with a leftover `ready` file gets bucketed as ACTIVE and skips the orphan classification gate entirely, undermining the CQRS fix. The identical bug exists at `src/owl/list.rs:265-277` in `list_result`.

**CR-02 — doctor `check_stale_perches` has no wrapper-alive bypass** (`src/owl/doctor.rs:131-221`). It walks Layer-2 nested perches and runs `fs::remove_file(ready)` against any perch whose info.json PID is dead. The wrapper-owned psyche pattern (`src/owl/poll.rs:140`, comment "Debug echo-gate-poll-exit-sentinel-triad") writes a transient PID into nested info.json that is subject to Windows PID recycling — `check_stale_perches` will demote a healthy wrapper-owned perch to offline, and only Gate B (60s grace) in `check_orphan_dirs` then stands between that demoted perch and `soft_stop_perch`. This is the exact data-loss vector Phase 35.1 was meant to close, and it survives the fix on the doctor side.

### Notable warnings

- **WR-03** — `check_duplicate_flat_nested` lacks the non-empty-nested safety guard that `check_orphan_dirs` added (CONTEXT/Plan 04). `fs::remove_dir_all(flat_path)` will recursively wipe a parent Self's nested children when the flat sibling drift case occurs.
- **WR-01** — `list_self_perches` returns `Option<Vec<...>>` but never returns None; the `?` at call sites is dead defense.
- **WR-04** — `check_orphan_dirs` PASS row hides gated_count, leaving operators with false reassurance.
- **WR-07** — Layer-1+Layer-2 directory walk is now duplicated three times (`list_filter::collect`, `check_stale_perches`, `check_orphan_dirs`); divergence risk.

### Other observations

- Source-order test `tests/source_order_atomic_info_writes.rs` cleanly pins the 8-site `atomic_write_string` conversion; well-formed.
- Integration tests in `tests/doctor_orphan_fix.rs` cover happy path, dry-run, and Gate A; they do NOT cover CR-02 (wrapper-alive perch in `check_stale_perches`) — a recommended test addition.
- Cargo build emits zero warnings against the 14 reviewed files.</result>

Wave 1: Plan 35.1-01 — atomic info.json writes

8 fs::write → owlery::atomic_write_string + source-order test

Wave 1: Plan 35.1-02 — is_wrapper_alive + grace const

Add wrapper-liveness + PHASE35_LIST_ORPHAN_GRACE_SECS=60 primitives in owlery

Wave 2: Plan 35.1-03 — CQRS decouple + gates + hint

list_filter::collect() strict read-only, remove cleanup_orphans, orphan_count hint

Wave 3: Plan 35.1-04 — doctor --fix orphan GC

check_orphan_dirs + soft-clean nested + doctor GC surface

Phase 35.1 verification

verify_phase_goal + post-merge gate + roadmap close


## ⚠ Code Review — issues_found

2 BLOCKER + 7 WARNING + 6 INFO. Two findings contradict Phase 35.1's stated goal:

- **CR-01** — `list_filter::collect` (line 182-195) + `owl/list.rs` (265-277): `is_online=true` when `get_pid_from_info` returns None. Orphan-candidate perch (info.json missing + leftover ready) gets bucketed as ACTIVE → skips orphan classification gate. CQRS fix undermined.
- **CR-02** — `doctor::check_stale_perches` (131-221): walks Layer-2 nested, runs `fs::remove_file(ready)` on dead PID. No wrapper-alive bypass. Windows PID recycling on wrapper-owned psyche pattern → demotes healthy perch → only Gate B (60s grace) in `check_orphan_dirs` stands between it and `soft_stop_perch`. The exact data-loss vector Phase 35.1 targeted, surviving on the doctor side.

Continuing to verification per workflow (code review is advisory). Surface to user at end.

# Phase 35 Operator UAT — Two-Machine Real-GitHub Sync

**Status**: Not Started | In Progress | Passed | Failed

## Prerequisites

- Two machines (M_A and M_B), preferably different OSes (one Windows, one Unix)
  for cross-platform validation.
- A GitHub account with NO existing `spt-agent-storage` repo.
- `gh` CLI 2.40+ installed on both, authenticated with the `repo` scope
  (`gh auth status` shows `repo`).
- SPT plugin (post-Phase 35, v1.8 milestone build) installed on both via
  `docs/DEPLOY.ps1`. NOTE: Plan 35-09 does NOT bump the plugin version — the
  single v1.8 milestone bump happens at milestone close, so confirm the build
  under test is the milestone-close binary, not a per-phase bump.
- `git` 2.30+ on PATH on both machines.

## SC Coverage Map

| SC | Description | Covered by |
|----|-------------|-----------|
| SC1 | Auto-detect path (D-08 SessionStart prompt) | Section 2 |
| SC2 | Manual setup path (`/psyche-sync-setup`) | Section 1 |
| SC3 | settings.json `sync.state` flag persistence | Sections 1, 4 |
| SC4 | Every Psyche-context commit triggers a sync cycle | Section 3 |
| SC5 | UserPromptSubmit async pull on the receiving machine | Section 3 |
| SC6 | Graceful no-op when unconfigured / backoff | Section 5 (5b, 5c) |
| SC7 | `owl doctor` surfaces sync status per machine | Sections 4, 5 |

## Section 1 — Manual Setup on M_A (SC2, SC3)

1. On M_A, run `$LIVE start doyle`. The sync-setup offer is delivered as an
   **active owl message** to doyle's own perch (carrying the
   `<spt-psyche-sync-prompt>` envelope with a self-contained `<instructions>`

# Phase 35.1: Code Review Report

**Reviewed:** 2026-05-27T00:00:00Z
**Depth:** standard
**Files Reviewed:** 14
**Status:** issues_found

## Summary

Phase 35.1 introduces two important invariants for the perch lifecycle:

1. **LIST-NOMUT-01** — `$OWL list` becomes read-only. The destructive
   `fs::remove_dir_all` branch in `list_filter::collect()` is removed; the
   surface only classifies orphans (gated by wrapper-alive + 60s mtime grace).
2. **Doctor orphan-GC routing** — `doctor --fix` becomes the sole authorized
   destructive surface. Nested orphans get `soft_stop_perch`; top-level orphans
   get `fs::remove_dir_all`. Both gates (Gate A wrapper-alive, Gate B grace)
   mirror the read-only `list_filter::collect` branch.

Plus an 8-site atomic-write conversion (`fs::write(info.json)` →
`atomic_write_string`) pinned by a source-order test.

The CQRS decouple is structurally sound. The wrapper-alive gate and grace
gate are duplicated between `list_filter::collect` and `doctor::check_orphan_dirs`
— deliberately, with a comment to that effect — and the routing in doctor
distinguishes nested vs top-level correctly. The integration test set covers
the happy path, dry-run, and Gate A (live wrapper) protection.

Issues found below center on (a) a real **data-loss vector that survives the
fix** — `check_stale_perches` in doctor still walks Layer-2 perch dirs but
applies the wrapper-alive bypass nowhere, removing `ready` files on perches
whose wrapper is actively running with a recycled PID; (b) the
`is_online` short-circuit in `list_filter::collect` that **trusts a stale
ready file when PID is BUSY/missing** — the very condition Phase 35.1 is
trying to defend against; (c) several missed bypasses for the wrapper-owned
psyche pattern recently introduced in `poll.rs`; and (d) a handful of
warnings around dead code, redundant logic, and a no-op `Option<Vec>` return.

## Critical Issues

### CR-01: `list_filter::collect()` treats unparseable info.json as "online" when ready file exists, silently exposing the perch to mis-classification and skipping every orphan gate

**File:** `src/common/list_filter.rs:182-195`
**Issue:** The `is_online` computation reads:
```rust
let is_online = ready_path.exists() && {
    if let Some(pid) = types::get_pid_from_info(&path) {
        if types::is_process_alive(pid) {
            true
        } else {
            types::get_parent_pid_from_info(&path)
                .map(types::is_process_alive)
                .unwrap_or(false)
        }
    } else {
        // PID is BUSY or missing -- treat as online if ready exists
        ready_path.exists()
    }
};
```
The else branch fires when `get_pid_from_info` returns `None`, which happens
in TWO distinct cases:
1. `PidValue::Busy("BUSY")` — perch is mid-poll (legitimate online state).
2. **`info.json` is missing, malformed, or unparseable** — exactly the
   orphan-candidate condition Phase 35.1 is supposed to detect.

Because the read at line 169 captures `info: Option<InfoJson>` and the
predicate at line 176 only short-circuits on `Some(i)` where the state
disagrees, an info.json-missing perch with a leftover `ready` file is
classified `is_online = true` (line 193 returns `true` if `ready_path.exists()`).
That means the perch is bucketed into `online` and **never reaches the orphan
classification branch at line 197+ (`if !is_online`)**. The orphan_count
under-reports, and a perch that the doctor surface would correctly soft-clean
gets rendered as `ACTIVE:<id>` in `$OWL list`.

**Fix:** Distinguish "BUSY (live process holding lock)" from "no parseable info"
in the `else` branch. The simplest fix is to short-circuit info-less perches
to `is_online = false`:
```rust
let is_online = ready_path.exists() && {
    if info.is_none() {
        false   // No parseable info → cannot be online, route to orphan branch
    } else if let Some(pid) = types::get_pid_from_info(&path) {
        if types::is_process_alive(pid) {
            true
        } else {
            types::get_parent_pid_from_info(&path)
                .map(types::is_process_alive)
                .unwrap_or(false)
        }
    } else {
        // PID is BUSY (info present, just no Numeric variant) → online.
        true
    }
};
```
Note that `src/owl/list.rs::list_result` at lines 265-277 has the **identical
bug** (this is the structured-result variant). Its `if info.is_none() { continue; }`
at line 280 saves it only because it also pre-filters orphans out — but the
same defective short-circuit will trip the day someone removes that pre-filter.
Fix both sites together.

### CR-02: `doctor::check_stale_perches` runs BEFORE `check_orphan_dirs` and silently `fs::remove_file(ready)` on perches whose wrapper is alive but whose PID file currently holds a recycled value

**File:** `src/owl/doctor.rs:131-221` (orchestrated by `run` at line 28-38)
**Issue:** The doctor's check ordering is:
1. `check_stale_perches(fix)` (line 28) — walks Layer 1 + Layer 2 and removes
   the `ready` file from any perch where `pid` is dead AND `parent_pid` is
   dead.
2. `check_orphan_dirs(fix)` (line 38) — has both Gate A (`is_wrapper_alive`)
   and Gate B (60s grace) to protect a perch whose wrapper is alive.

But `check_stale_perches` has **NO wrapper-alive bypass**. It walks the
SAME nested perch paths (line 156-167) and runs `is_process_alive(pid)` against
whatever PID the info.json carries.

In the production path documented at `src/owl/poll.rs:128-150` (Phase 35.1 was
explicitly written aware of this — see the "Debug echo-gate-poll-exit-sentinel-triad"
comment), Windows PID recycling means a wrapper-owned psyche perch's info.json
PID often points to a **foreign process** that may or may not be alive. The
wrapper compensates with `wrapper_owned_psyche` bypass logic in poll.rs:140.

`check_stale_perches` does not. The result: `doctor --fix` against a
healthy live agent removes its psyche-perch `ready` sentinel, demoting it to
offline mid-flight. The next `is_perch_online_at` check in `check_orphan_dirs`
(line 625) returns `false`, and Gate B (grace) is the only thing protecting
against `soft_stop_perch` running on the now-stale-but-actually-live nested
perch — which is exactly the data-loss vector Phase 35.1 was meant to close.

**Fix:** Mirror the wrapper-alive bypass into `check_stale_perches`. Before
removing the ready file at line 195-197, compute `self_id_for_lookup` (using
the same id-stripping logic as `check_orphan_dirs:336-347`) and skip the
removal when `owlery::is_wrapper_alive(self_id_for_lookup)`:
```rust
// Phase 35.1 — Gate A parity with check_orphan_dirs. Wrapper-alive perches
// hold a recycled-PID info.json on Windows; their dead numeric PID is NOT
// evidence the perch is stale.
let id = path.file_name().and_then(|s| s.to_str()).unwrap_or("").to_string();
let is_nested = list_filter_is_nested(&path);
let self_id_for_lookup: String = if let Some(stripped) = id.strip_suffix("-psyche") {
    stripped.to_string()
} else if is_nested { /* ...same as check_orphan_dirs... */ }
   else { id.clone() };
if owlery::is_wrapper_alive(&self_id_for_lookup) {
    continue;  // Live wrapper holds this perch; recycled PID is not stale.
}
```
The same wrapper-alive bypass already exists in `src/owl/poll.rs:140`
(`wrapper_owned_psyche`) and `src/common/list_filter.rs:231`. Doctor's
stale-perch check is the one site that missed it.

## Warnings

### WR-01: `list_filter::list_self_perches` (hook_output.rs:198) returns `Option<Vec<...>>` but never returns `None` — caller's `?` provides false reassurance

**File:** `src/common/hook_output.rs:198-212`, callers at lines 131, 161
**Issue:** `list_self_perches` returns `Option<Vec<(String, InfoJson)>>` and
its body only ever returns `Some(result)` (line 211). The two callers
(`find_perch_by_session:131`, `find_perch_by_parent_pid:161`) consume it with
`?` — the early-exit can never fire. This invites a future refactor that
adds genuine None paths (e.g., when `enumerate_perches` errors) to silently
break the lookup. Either return `Vec<(String, InfoJson)>` directly, or make
the None path real (e.g., bail when `enumerate_perches()` returns empty,
though that is itself a legitimate state).
**Fix:** Drop the wrapping Option:
```rust
fn list_self_perches() -> Vec<(String, InfoJson)> {
    let mut result = Vec::new();
    for (_id, info, perch_path) in owlery::enumerate_perches() { ... }
    result
}
```
and update the two `?` call sites to consume directly.

### WR-02: `list_filter::collect` repeats the same `--here` predicate + spool/info_raw read across three branches

**File:** `src/common/list_filter.rs:262-280`, 301-320, 335-352
**Issue:** The body of `collect()` carries three near-identical
post-state-predicate blocks:
- Offline perch with info.json present (lines 262-280)
- Stale-online-demoted-to-offline (lines 301-320)
- Genuinely-online (lines 335-352)

Each repeats `--here` filtering, `spool::pending_count`, `fs::read_to_string`
of info.json, `info_raw.trim`, and PerchEntry construction with only the
`suffix` / `is_online` fields varying. A regression in one branch (e.g., the
`unfiltered_online_count` capture site for `--here` introduced by RESEARCH
Pitfall #3) is invisible to the others. Extract a helper `make_entry(path,
id, info_path, is_online, suffix) -> PerchEntry` and route all three through it.
**Fix:** Refactor at next maintenance touch. The current shape is correct but
fragile.

### WR-03: Doctor `check_orphan_dirs` safety guard for non-empty `nested/` is good, but the SECOND walk in `check_duplicate_flat_nested` performs `fs::remove_dir_all(&flat_path)` (line 727) with NO equivalent guard

**File:** `src/owl/doctor.rs:715-731`
**Issue:** `check_duplicate_flat_nested` finds ids where a flat path and a
nested path both exist, then with `--fix` calls `fs::remove_dir_all(fp)` on
the flat one when its PID is dead. The flat path can be `owlery/<x>/` (a
Self/Listener path), not a sibling-nested duplicate. If a user has
`owlery/alice/` (Self, dead) AND `owlery/something/nested/alice/`, the doctor
will hard-delete `owlery/alice/` AND its non-empty `nested/` subtree (the
safety guard added in `check_orphan_dirs:325-334` is NOT present here).
The CONTEXT/RESEARCH for Phase 35.1 added that guard precisely to prevent
this data-loss class, but `check_duplicate_flat_nested` predates the fix and
was not updated.
**Fix:** Before `fs::remove_dir_all(fp)`, check whether the flat path hosts
a non-empty `nested/` subdirectory and refuse:
```rust
let nested_subdir = fp.join("nested");
if nested_subdir.is_dir() {
    let has_children = fs::read_dir(&nested_subdir)
        .map(|rd| rd.flatten().any(|e| e.path().is_dir()))
        .unwrap_or(false);
    if has_children {
        // Leave a Warn row but DO NOT delete.
        continue;
    }
}
if fs::remove_dir_all(fp).is_ok() { ... }
```

### WR-04: `doctor::check_orphan_dirs` orphan-count walks both layers but the orphan_count==0 PASS row fires even when the Pass row would mislead

**File:** `src/owl/doctor.rs:410-415`
**Issue:** When every candidate path is gated out (Gate A or Gate B), the
function emits a single `Pass` row saying "no orphan perch directories
detected". But the user invoked `doctor` precisely *because* orphan dirs
may exist; the Pass row says nothing about how many candidates were skipped
by Gate A or Gate B. If a stale dir is wrapper-protected because of a bug
elsewhere (CR-02), the operator sees PASS and concludes the system is healthy.
**Fix:** Track `gated_count` (Gate A + Gate B skips) and surface it in the
Pass row's detail when > 0: `format!("no orphan perch directories detected
({} candidate(s) within grace or wrapper-protected)", gated_count)`.

### WR-05: `relocate_legacy_psyche_if_needed` removes the partial nested target on copy-then-remove failure, masking the source perch

**File:** `src/live/start.rs:130-163`
**Issue:** When `fs::rename` fails AND the recursive copy fallback fails,
the cleanup at line 151 (`let _ = fs::remove_dir_all(&target);`) deletes the
PARTIAL nested target. That is correct as written. But the copy may have
succeeded partially before failing — meaning a subset of the source perch's
inbox/spool may have already been copied. If the source is also touched
(e.g., concurrent wrapper rewriting info.json), the partial copy may
fingerprint cleaner than the source. Recommend: log what was lost.

Also, the "copied but could not remove legacy" branch (line 154-160) leaves
the perch existing AT BOTH paths — a duplicate that `check_duplicate_flat_nested`
will catch later but produces noise / potential double-poll until then.
**Fix:** Best-effort, but include the partial-state detail in the WARNING
stderr line so operators understand the failed-state shape.

### WR-06: `list_filter::collect()` calls `fs::remove_file(&ready_path)` (line 296) — the LIST-NOMUT-01 invariant is "non-destructive" but this is still a sentinel-file write to a non-owned perch

**File:** `src/common/list_filter.rs:294-296`
**Issue:** The doc-comment at line 84-90 explicitly carves out "soft-clean
stale online perches (remove the `ready` sentinel when both pid and parent_pid
are dead)" from the no-mutation invariant. That carve-out is defensible
(the perch is confirmed dead) but creates a CQRS asymmetry: `$LIVE list` and
`$OWL list` both call `list_filter::collect`, and BOTH now mutate the
filesystem on stale online perches. The "CQRS decouple" framing in the SEED
suggests list should be a pure read; in practice it's a read with an
incidental write-fix.

This is documented + intentional, but worth flagging: a future
`list_result()`-style read-only consumer that wants no side effects has no
way to disable the sentinel removal. Consider a `mutating: bool` parameter
to `collect()` that gates the `fs::remove_file(&ready_path)` call.
**Fix:** Optional — add a `read_only` mode parameter to `collect()` and route
both `list_result` (read-only) and the existing `$OWL list` (current
behavior) through the appropriate setting.

### WR-07: `check_orphan_dirs` builds the Layer-1+Layer-2 walk in-line and duplicates the same shape from `check_stale_perches:147-167`

**File:** `src/owl/doctor.rs:259-283`
**Issue:** The Layer-1+Layer-2 dir-collection logic is now duplicated in
three places in this codebase: `list_filter::collect:130-152`, `check_stale_perches:147-167`,
`check_orphan_dirs:264-283`. Each has subtle differences (e.g., `check_stale_perches`
includes Layer-1 dirs unconditionally; `check_orphan_dirs` skips the `nested`
container at line 296). A bug introduced in one (e.g., the `nested` skip)
will not be caught by tests that only exercise the others.
**Fix:** Extract a single helper into `src/common/list_filter.rs` or
`src/common/owlery.rs`:
```rust
pub(crate) fn enumerate_perch_dirs_with_paths() -> Vec<PathBuf> { ... }
```
that returns all Layer-1 + Layer-2 candidate paths (including raw orphan dirs
without info.json), and route all three call sites through it.

## Info

### IN-01: `check_orphan_dirs` early-skips `nested` container (line 296) but the Layer-1 walk just above includes it as `all_perch_paths.push(p.clone())` (line 271)

**File:** `src/owl/doctor.rs:271, 296`
**Issue:** Layer-1 walk pushes EVERY dir under `owlery/`, including a hypothetical
top-level `owlery/nested/` (which would not normally exist but is technically
possible if some legacy code wrote there). The `id.file_name() == "nested"`
skip at line 296 catches that, but only because the dir lacks an info.json.
A real owlery sub-dir literally named `nested` containing an info.json would
pass the skip-check and be treated as a real perch.
**Fix:** Cosmetic — the structural impossibility makes this irrelevant in
practice, but consider asserting `id != "nested"` at the perch-classifier
stage too.

### IN-02: `dedupe_drops` doc-comment claims emit-once-per-file-lifecycle; the path-key is the FILE PATH (not contents), so a file rewritten in place reuses the same key and won't re-emit

**File:** `src/owl/poll.rs:1349-1369`
**Issue:** If the operator deletes `.claude/doyle-commune.md`, the helper
clears the path from `emitted`. If the operator instead OVERWRITES it
in place with new content, `scan_drop_files` returns the same path and
`dedupe_drops` suppresses the re-emit because the file never disappeared.
Whether this is the desired semantic depends on whether commune files are
"single-shot" or "re-readable" — the file_drop wrapper consumes + deletes
per CONTEXT D7, so single-shot is the contract.
**Fix:** Documentation-only. Add a note to the doc-comment that overwrite-in-place
is NOT a fresh lifecycle.

### IN-03: `check_orphan_dirs` emits `output::owl_status(S_STOP, ...)` for every cleaned perch (lines 387, 398) — fires N times for N orphans

**File:** `src/owl/doctor.rs:386-407`
**Issue:** For an operator with a dozen orphan dirs, this floods stderr with
N `SOFT-CLEANED:` / `CLEANED:` lines mixed into the surrounding `[PASS]
[WARN] [FAIL]` doctor output. Consider batching into a single summary line
(`SOFT-CLEANED:5 nested perches; CLEANED:3 top-level dirs`) — but the existing
output::owl_status pattern in the rest of doctor matches stop.rs precedent
(line 110: `STOPPED:all`), so per-id is consistent with the surface idiom.
**Fix:** Style choice; current code matches local conventions.

### IN-04: `parse_messages` (hook_output.rs:260) trims trailing whitespace from `body`, but body content from `__REPLY_TO__:` framed messages is `trim_end()`'d — content-bearing trailing newlines are silently dropped

**File:** `src/common/hook_output.rs:266-275`
**Issue:** Both branches (`Some(rest) = ...strip_prefix` and fallback) call
`.trim_end()` on the body. A multi-line message that legitimately ends with
"\n\n" gets its blank-line tail dropped. Inconsequential for current usage
but invisible.
**Fix:** Document the intentional trim or use `.trim_end_matches('\n')` for
a single newline strip.

### IN-05: Hook stdin `OWL_SESSION_ID` env-var override in `hook_subagent_start::run` masks the documented "stdin first then env" order that `find_perch_by_session` expects

**File:** `src/owl/hook_subagent_start.rs:32-46`
**Issue:** The code reads:
```rust
let session_id = std::env::var("OWL_SESSION_ID").ok()
    .filter(|s| !s.is_empty())
    .or_else(|| parsed.session_id.filter(|s| !s.is_empty()));
```
This is env-FIRST, stdin-second. But the hook contract (per the comment at
`hook_output.rs:36` and elsewhere) reads session_id from STDIN as the
authoritative source. An env var that lingers from a prior session can
collide with a child session's stdin-provided id. Currently
`find_perch_by_session` has a parent_pid fallback that papers over the bug,
but the precedence is backward from what the comment claims.
**Fix:** Reverse the precedence: stdin first, env second. Or add a comment
explaining why this particular hook flips the order.

### IN-06: `list_filter::collect` borrows `dirs.clone()` (line 140) to iterate during a push to `dirs` itself

**File:** `src/common/list_filter.rs:140-152`
**Issue:** The pattern `for d in dirs.clone().iter() { dirs.push(...) }`
performs a full clone of the vector to dodge the borrow checker. For an
owlery with N Self perches each with M nested workers, this clones N
PathBufs to discover the nested ones. Equivalent to a two-pass walk:
collect Layer-1 first into a `let layer1 = dirs.clone();`, then iterate
`layer1` to populate Layer-2 into `dirs`. Either explicit, or rewrite as:
```rust
let layer1_count = dirs.len();
for i in 0..layer1_count {
    let nested = dirs[i].join("nested");
    if nested.is_dir() { ... dirs.push(cpath); ... }
}
```
**Fix:** Cosmetic. Out of scope (Phase 35.1 doesn't touch this allocation
pattern; same shape exists in `src/owl/list.rs:209` and
`src/owl/doctor.rs:265-282`).

## Summary

Applied 10 of 15 findings from `.planning/phases/35.1-owl-list-data-loss-cqrs-decouple-orphan-detection-hardening-/35.1-REVIEW.md`. Each finding committed atomically (12 fix commits + 1 docs commit for REVIEW.md). `cargo build --release` clean after every commit. Phase 35.1 invariant tests (`doctor_orphan_fix`, `list_flags`, `source_order_atomic_info_writes`) all PASS.

### Critical (2/2 applied)
- **CR-01** (`4e9b987` + follow-up `0f4e55a`) — `is_online` short-circuit for unparseable info.json. First attempt keyed on strict-serde `info.is_none()`, broke a legacy-fixture test. Follow-up keys on `info_path.exists()` so the Value-tolerant accessors still work for legacy shapes. Both `src/common/list_filter.rs` and `src/owl/list.rs::list_result` sites fixed.
- **CR-02** (`2314300`) — `check_stale_perches` mirrors Gate A wrapper-alive bypass from `check_orphan_dirs`.

### Warnings (5/7 applied; 2 skipped per reviewer directive)
- **WR-01** `3c148ae` — drop no-op Option wrap from `list_self_perches`.
- **WR-02** skipped — refactor scope per reviewer.
- **WR-03** `f24fcae` — `check_duplicate_flat_nested` safety guard for non-empty `nested/` subtree.
- **WR-04** `c18c516` — `check_orphan_dirs` PASS row surfaces `gated_count`.
- **WR-05** `8b0578b` — relocate-failure WARNING gains partial-state detail.
- **WR-06** `4240833` — docs-only carve-out annotation for LIST-NOMUT-01 ready-removal.
- **WR-07** skipped — refactor scope per reviewer.

### Info (3/6 applied; 3 skipped per reviewer directive)
- **IN-01** skipped — cosmetic per reviewer.
- **IN-02** `bae1fdf` — docs note on overwrite-in-place semantics.
- **IN-03** skipped — matches local conventions.
- **IN-04** `d8664a8` — docs note on `parse_messages` `trim_end()` behavior.
- **IN-05** `6bd6ec3` — reverse precedence (stdin first, env second) in `hook_subagent_start`.
- **IN-06** skipped — cosmetic.

### Key gotchas / lessons
- **CR-01 iteration**: The reviewer's suggested `info.is_none()` short-circuit (taken from strict-`Option<InfoJson>` deserialization) conflated "file missing" with "schema-strict parse failure". Real perches with legacy Phase-32 `Vec<String>` `project_history` shapes still parse via the Value-path accessors but fail strict-serde, so the second-pass fix keys on `info_path.exists()`.
- **REVIEW.md frontmatter set to `status: partial`** (5 skips per directive, not a clean review).
- The 60 lib-test failures observed during the parallel run are pre-existing flakiness (test-isolation races on shared SPT_HOME/env). Serial run (`--test-threads=1` per CLAUDE.md convention) reduces to 1 pre-existing unrelated failure (`current_version_honors_override_in_debug_builds` — expects debug-build behavior).

36
37	**Reviewed:** 2026-05-27T00:00:00Z

39	**Files Reviewed:** 14
40	**Status:** issues_found
41
42	## Summary
43
44	Phase 35.1 introduces two important invariants for the perch lifecycle:
45
46	1. **LIST-NOMUT-01** — `$OWL list` becomes read-only. The destructive
47	   `fs::remove_dir_all` branch in `list_filter::collect()` is removed; the
48	   surface only classifies orphans (gated by wrapper-alive + 60s mtime grace).
49	2. **Doctor orphan-GC routing** — `doctor --fix` becomes the sole authorized
50	   destructive surface. Nested orphans get `soft_stop_perch`; top-level orphans
51	   get `fs::remove_dir_all`. Both gates (Gate A wrapper-alive, Gate B grace)
52	   mirror the read-only `list_filter::collect` branch.
53
54	Plus an 8-site atomic-write conversion (`fs::write(info.json)` →
55	`atomic_write_string`) pinned by a source-order test.
56
57	The CQRS decouple is structurally sound. The wrapper-alive gate and grace
58	gate are duplicated between `list_filter::collect` and `doctor::check_orphan_dirs`
59	— deliberately, with a comment to that effect — and the routing in doctor
60	distinguishes nested vs top-level correctly. The integration test set covers
61	the happy path, dry-run, and Gate A (live wrapper) protection.
62
63	Issues found below center on (a) a real **data-loss vector that survives the
64	fix** — `check_stale_perches` in doctor still walks Layer-2 perch dirs but
65	applies the wrapper-alive bypass nowhere, removing `ready` files on perches
66	whose wrapper is actively running with a recycled PID; (b) the
67	`is_online` short-circuit in `list_filter::collect` that **trusts a stale
68	ready file when PID is BUSY/missing** — the very condition Phase 35.1 is
69	trying to defend against; (c) several missed bypasses for the wrapper-owned
70	psyche pattern recently introduced in `poll.rs`; and (d) a handful of
71	warnings around dead code, redundant logic, and a no-op `Option<Vec>` return.
72
73	## Critical Issues
74
75	### CR-01: `list_filter::collect()` treats unparseable info.json as "online" when ready file exists, silently exposing the perch to mis-classification and skipping every orphan gate
76
77	**File:** `src/common/list_filter.rs:182-195`
78	**Issue:** The `is_online` computation reads:
79	```rust
80	let is_online = ready_path.exists() && {
81	    if let Some(pid) = types::get_pid_from_info(&path) {
82	        if types::is_process_alive(pid) {
83	            true
84	        } else {
85	            types::get_parent_pid_from_info(&path)
86	                .map(types::is_process_alive)
87	                .unwrap_or(false)
88	        }
89	    } else {
90	        // PID is BUSY or missing -- treat as online if ready exists
91	        ready_path.exists()
92	    }
93	};
94	```
95	The else branch fires when `get_pid_from_info` returns `None`, which happens
96	in TWO distinct cases:
97	1. `PidValue::Busy("BUSY")` — perch is mid-poll (legitimate online state).
98	2. **`info.json` is missing, malformed, or unparseable** — exactly the
99	   orphan-candidate condition Phase 35.1 is supposed to detect.
100
101	Because the read at line 169 captures `info: Option<InfoJson>` and the
102	predicate at line 176 only short-circuits on `Some(i)` where the state
103	disagrees, an info.json-missing perch with a leftover `ready` file is
104	classified `is_online = true` (line 193 returns `true` if `ready_path.exists()`).
105	That means the perch is bucketed into `online` and **never reaches the orphan
106	classification branch at line 197+ (`if !is_online`)**. The orphan_count
107	under-reports, and a perch that the doctor surface would correctly soft-clean
108	gets rendered as `ACTIVE:<id>` in `$OWL list`.
109
110	**Fix:** Distinguish "BUSY (live process holding lock)" from "no parseable info"
111	in the `else` branch. The simplest fix is to short-circuit info-less perches
112	to `is_online = false`:
113	```rust
114	let is_online = ready_path.exists() && {
115	    if info.is_none() {
116	        false   // No parseable info → cannot be online, route to orphan branch
117	    } else if let Some(pid) = types::get_pid_from_info(&path) {
118	        if types::is_process_alive(pid) {
119	            true
120	        } else {
121	            types::get_parent_pid_from_info(&path)
122	                .map(types::is_process_alive)
123	                .unwrap_or(false)
124	        }
125	    } else {
126	        // PID is BUSY (info present, just no Numeric variant) → online.
127	        true
128	    }
129	};
130	```
131	Note that `src/owl/list.rs::list_result` at lines 265-277 has the **identical
132	bug** (this is the structured-result variant). Its `if info.is_none() { continue; }`
133	at line 280 saves it only because it also pre-filters orphans out — but the
134	same defective short-circuit will trip the day someone removes that pre-filter.
135	Fix both sites together.
136
137	### CR-02: `doctor::check_stale_perches` runs BEFORE `check_orphan_dirs` and silently `fs::remove_file(ready)` on perches whose wrapper is alive but whose PID file currently holds a recycled value
138
139	**File:** `src/owl/doctor.rs:131-221` (orchestrated by `run` at line 28-38)
140	**Issue:** The doctor's check ordering is:
141	1. `check_stale_perches(fix)` (line 28) — walks Layer 1 + Layer 2 and removes
142	   the `ready` file from any perch where `pid` is dead AND `parent_pid` is
143	   dead.
144	2. `check_orphan_dirs(fix)` (line 38) — has both Gate A (`is_wrapper_alive`)
145	   and Gate B (60s grace) to protect a perch whose wrapper is alive.
146
147	But `check_stale_perches` has **NO wrapper-alive bypass**. It walks the
148	SAME nested perch paths (line 156-167) and runs `is_process_alive(pid)` against
149	whatever PID the info.json carries.
150
151	In the production path documented at `src/owl/poll.rs:128-150` (Phase 35.1 was
152	explicitly written aware of this — see the "Debug echo-gate-poll-exit-sentinel-triad"
153	comment), Windows PID recycling means a wrapper-owned psyche perch's info.json
154	PID often points to a **foreign process** that may or may not be alive. The
155	wrapper compensates with `wrapper_owned_psyche` bypass logic in poll.rs:140.
156
157	`check_stale_perches` does not. The result: `doctor --fix` against a
158	healthy live agent removes its psyche-perch `ready` sentinel, demoting it to
159	offline mid-flight. The next `is_perch_online_at` check in `check_orphan_dirs`
160	(line 625) returns `false`, and Gate B (grace) is the only thing protecting
161	against `soft_stop_perch` running on the now-stale-but-actually-live nested
162	perch — which is exactly the data-loss vector Phase 35.1 was meant to close.
163
164	**Fix:** Mirror the wrapper-alive bypass into `check_stale_perches`. Before
165	removing the ready file at line 195-197, compute `self_id_for_lookup` (using
166	the same id-stripping logic as `check_orphan_dirs:336-347`) and skip the
167	removal when `owlery::is_wrapper_alive(self_id_for_lookup)`:
168	```rust
169	// Phase 35.1 — Gate A parity with check_orphan_dirs. Wrapper-alive perches
170	// hold a recycled-PID info.json on Windows; their dead numeric PID is NOT
171	// evidence the perch is stale.
172	let id = path.file_name().and_then(|s| s.to_str()).unwrap_or("").to_string();
173	let is_nested = list_filter_is_nested(&path);

<result>## Verification Complete

**Status:** passed
**Score:** 13/13 must-haves verified
**Report:** `C:\Users\decid\Documents\projects\claude_skill_owl\.planning\phases\35.1-owl-list-data-loss-cqrs-decouple-orphan-detection-hardening-\35.1-VERIFICATION.md`

All 13 derived must-have truths verified directly in the codebase. All 7 ROADMAP-declared requirements satisfied (LIST-NOMUT-01, LIST-HINT-01, GC-AUTHORIZED-01, ORPHAN-WRAPPER-01, ORPHAN-GRACE-01, WRITE-ATOMIC-01, STATUS-TAG-01) with concrete evidence per truth.

Key spot-checks executed:

- `cargo build --release` → clean (0 errors, 9 pre-existing warnings).
- `cargo test --release --test source_order_atomic_info_writes` → 1/1 PASS (8-site atomic-write conversion pinned).
- `cargo test --release --test doctor_orphan_fix` → 3/3 PASS (sole authorized GC surface routing).
- `cargo test --release --test list_flags` → 10/10 PASS (LIST-NOMUT-01 + LIST-HINT-01 + live-list owl-only-surface boundary).

Critical code-review fixes verified in-source:
- **CR-01** at `src/common/list_filter.rs:198` (`!info_path.exists()` short-circuit to false — info-missing perches no longer bucketed as online).
- **CR-02** at `src/owl/doctor.rs:190-224` (wrapper-alive bypass parity in `check_stale_perches` — protects against Windows PID-recycling false positives).
- **Safety guard** at `src/owl/doctor.rs:364-374` (refuses to hard-delete Layer-1 dir hosting non-empty `nested/` subtree — the cascade-wipe class Phase 35.1 was created to eliminate).

No unresolved debt markers (`TBD`/`FIXME`/`XXX`) in any of the 11 modified source files. The single `fs::remove_file(&ready_path)` at `list_filter.rs:326` is the documented LIST-NOMUT-01 sentinel-file carve-out (WR-06), not a regression — it pre-dates Phase 35.1 and is documented inline at lines 313-325.

Phase goal achieved: there is no code path inside `$OWL list` (or any read command) that can delete state. The contract is encoded both in test assertions and in the signature shape of `list_filter::collect` (the `cleanup_orphans` parameter no longer exists, so no caller can pass `true`).

## ✓ Phase 35.1: owl-list-data-loss-cqrs-decouple-orphan-detection-hardening Complete

[checkpoint] phase 35.1 verified passed, 4/4 plans done, 13/13 must-haves

| Wave | Plans | Status |
|------|-------|--------|
| 1 | 35.1-01, 35.1-02 | ✓ Complete |
| 2 | 35.1-03 | ✓ Complete |
| 3 | 35.1-04 | ✓ Complete |

**Verification:** 13/13 must-haves PASS. All 7 ROADMAP requirements satisfied (LIST-NOMUT-01, LIST-HINT-01, GC-AUTHORIZED-01, ORPHAN-WRAPPER-01, ORPHAN-GRACE-01, WRITE-ATOMIC-01, STATUS-TAG-01). Phase invariant tests green (1/1 source-order + 3/3 doctor-orphan + 10/10 list-flags). Build clean.

**Plan deliverables:**
1. **35.1-01** — 8 `fs::write(info_path)` → `atomic_write_string` + source-order regression test
2. **35.1-02** — `is_wrapper_alive(self_id)` + `PHASE35_LIST_ORPHAN_GRACE_SECS=60` primitives
3. **35.1-03** — `list_filter::collect()` strict read-only; `cleanup_orphans` param deleted; `orphan_count` field; wrapper-alive + grace gates; `$OWL list` orphan-count hint ($LIVE list excluded)
4. **35.1-04** — `$OWL doctor --fix` orphan-dir GC (sole authorized surface); cascade-safe routing

**Code review:** issues_found → 10/15 fixes applied (2 Critical CR-01/CR-02 + 5 Warnings + 3 Info). 5 skipped per reviewer directive (cosmetic/refactor/style). REVIEW.md status: partial.

**Pre-existing issues (not regressions):**
- `tests/native_wrapper_state_retry.rs` build error (missing `pulse_psyche` field, pre-35.1 commit `3616ed1`)
- `current_version_honors_override_in_debug_builds` expects debug build
- Parallel-test flakiness (test-isolation races on shared SPT_HOME/env; serial run reduces to 1 unrelated failure)

**Branch:** main, 54 commits ahead of origin (no push performed).

### Next steps

```
/gsd:progress                              — see updated roadmap
/gsd:discuss-phase 999.1                   — recommended: discuss next phase before planning
/gsd:plan-phase 999.1                      — plan next phase (skip discuss)
/gsd:execute-phase 999.1                   — execute next phase (skip discuss + plan)
```

Auto-advance not triggered (no `--auto` flag in invocation). Pre-existing `tests/native_wrapper_state_retry.rs` build error worth tracking — separate phase recommended.
