AgentXchain v2.154.5

v2.154.5 is a BUG-52 third-variant release. It ships the activeCount-agnostic unblock fix for standing human gates, plus the missing empty-active negative proof that keeps the repair evidence-gated.

Current quote-back target: use [email protected] or later for BUG-52 tester evidence. v2.154.5 shipped the activeCount-agnostic unblock fix, but it still loops on the realistic PM needs_human handoff where proposed_next_role: "human" and phase_transition_request: null. That predicate first landed in v2.154.7 (Turn 205), together with the Turn 206 verification-safety repair. The canonical tester runbook is .planning/BUG_52_TESTER_QUOTEBACK_RUNBOOK.md.

Bug Fixes​

  • BUG-52 activeCount=0 unblock loop: agentxchain unblock <hesc> now runs the standing-gate reconciliation path for every blocked operator-unblock resume, even when active_turns is empty. This closes the tester's v2.151.0 loop where pending_phase_transition: null, planning_signoff: pending, and no retained PM turn caused unblock to redispatch PM instead of entering implementation.

  • BUG-52 evidence-gated empty-active negative path: the empty-active standing-gate path now has command-chain proof that missing required evidence leaves the run blocked in the original phase, keeps the gate pending, avoids dispatching the next phase role, and emits no phase_entered or phase_cleanup events.

  • BUG-52 spec alignment: .planning/BUG_52_RECONCILE_SOURCE_RESOLUTION_SPEC.md now records the activeCount=0 positive and negative acceptance contract.

Operator Notes​

For BUG-52 closure, run the tester chain against the shipped package: accept and checkpoint a PM needs_human turn with no phase_transition_request, resolve the human escalation with agentxchain unblock <hesc>, then verify the run enters implementation and dispatches dev rather than looping back to PM.

Tester Re-Run Contract​

Run the latest shipped package that carries the full BUG-52 third-variant fix stack, not the source tree:

npx --yes -p [email protected] -c "agentxchain --version"

The command above supersedes the original v2.154.5 quote-back pin. Use the canonical runbook in .planning/BUG_52_TESTER_QUOTEBACK_RUNBOOK.md for the exact realistic PM handoff shape, pre-/post-unblock state fields, durable events, and negative counter-case.

For BUG-52 closure, quote all of the following from a shipped-package run:

  • agentxchain status reports Phase: implementation after unblock
  • agentxchain gate show planning_signoff reports Status: passed
  • the next active turn is assigned to dev
  • no duplicate PM redispatch occurs
  • no ghost recovery is required for the phase advance

BUG-52 remains open until that shipped-package quote-back lands. BUG-61, BUG-62, BUG-54, BUG-59, and BUG-53 remain open under their existing shipped package closure contracts.

For still-open BUG-62 closure, reproduce the tester drift scenario: make a safe manual product-file commit on top of an agent checkpoint, run a continuous session with reconcile_operator_commits: "auto_safe_only", and quote the state_reconciled_operator_commits event emitted before the next dispatch. Then make an unsafe operator commit that edits .agentxchain/state.json or deletes .planning/acceptance-matrix.md; quote agentxchain status, agentxchain status --json, operator_commit_reconcile_refused, the error_class, and the recovery action.

For still-open BUG-52 closure proof, quote phase_entered after unblock. Older paths may still show trigger: "reconciled_before_dispatch". Standing gate paths should also show cleanup evidence when stale same-phase state existed.

For still-open BUG-54 and BUG-59 closure proof, pin to [email protected] or later and follow .planning/BUG_59_54_TESTER_QUOTEBACK_RUNBOOK.md. That runbook covers the real adapter-path watchdog evidence plus routine auto-approval ledger rows and credentialed hard-stop counter-evidence.

For still-open BUG-53 closure proof, run the shipped package in continuous mode and quote session_continuation events across chained runs. A bounded idle run should end as idle_exit, not as a paused gate.

For still-open BUG-54 closure proof, use the BUG-54/BUG-59 runbook above. The closure evidence must come from the adapter path, not from a standalone spawn harness.

For still-open BUG-55 regression proof, run accept-turn followed by checkpoint-turn on a turn that declares both product files and verification outputs. Include verification.produced_files with at least one artifact or ignored output, prove there are no undeclared_verification_outputs, and quote git status --short after checkpointing.

Clean tree means BUG-55 is fixed for your reproduction.

The key operator chain is accept-turn followed by checkpoint-turn against the same accepted turn.
