v2.2.3-rc.2 — Compact SDD attempts + exact reviewer recovery

Compact SDD attempts + exact reviewer recovery

v2.2.3-rc.2 is a new immutable community-testing refresh of the compact SDD runtime-attempt work from v2.2.3-rc.1; rc.1 remains unchanged. It keeps acquire/settle orchestration bounded while adding exact reviewer recovery without adding retry state or review budget.

What changed

• Carries forward compact sdd-attempt acquire and sdd-attempt settle results for normal apply, verify, and remediation orchestration while preserving idempotency, CAS protection, attempt/line budgets, immutable history, and explicit-only reset behavior.
• Fixes #1986 with exact-slot, STATUS-mediated recollection after a pre-inspection access/provider failure.
• Adds no new retry state and consumes no additional review budget.
• Refreshes 13 generated agent goldens for the corrected behavior.

Community testing

1. Download SHA256SUMS.txt and the binary for your platform, then verify the binary against its listed SHA-256 digest.
2. Run the binary directly and confirm gentle-ai --version reports 2.2.3-rc.2.
3. Run a real SDD change through apply and verify; confirm normal orchestration returns compact acquire/settle results instead of full attempt history.
4. Interrupt and resume an acquired attempt; confirm it resumes without duplicate work, and replay acquire/settle with their operation-specific request IDs to confirm idempotency.
5. Exercise issue #1986's pre-inspection access/provider failure; confirm recollection uses STATUS, returns to the exact failed reviewer slot, and does not create retry state or spend another review budget.

Please include your OS, agent/client, gentle-ai --version, and the compact result or recovery status in reports.

Verification status

• Exact commit: dea2f948d4c47e97d386321ff66da7369adf80e1
• Required CI run 30504681140 is green: all 9 jobs passed for the exact commit.
• The optional, non-gating Windows Full Suite run 30504681145 completed with failure before publication; it is not part of the required release gate.
• All five binaries were built with vcs.modified=false and are covered by SHA256SUMS.txt.
