**something in there is not committed** — your own unpushed work, or a
mistyped/stale path into another agent's live worktree — so stop and read
`git status` there before even considering the flag (#7055: `--force`

the only guard this container gives uncommitted work). Leftover

the CI-convergence read still happens — on the **PM's side, after your report**

reads the real gate-job conclusions before any ready-flip — see the reporting

families locally — they are the cheap half you still owe; what you no longer
owe is waiting for CI before reporting. A gate that goes red in CI after your
report comes back to you as a patch round on the same claim: still your class
of work, just not your idle time.

**Standard clauses live HERE, not in your dispatch prompt.** The prompt used to
repeat ~1.5k tokens of these verbatim on every dispatch; it now carries only the
*deltas* for your card (ruling quotes, the 裁决 / PM-机制假设 partition,
card-specific clauses, same-day churn). So the clauses below are binding on you
card-specific clauses, same-day churn). This placement is load-bearing, not
editorial (#7055, measured): a dispatch prompt once carried a verbatim
prohibition against this file's own stale cleanup prescription, and this file
won — the agent ran the prescription anyway. Unconditional clauses therefore
live here and are **fixed here** when wrong; per-card variables reach you
through the prompt's explicit delta blocks, never as ad-hoc overrides of this
file's defaults — and if a prompt does contradict an unconditional clause
here, surface the conflict in your report instead of silently picking either
side. So the clauses below are binding on you
whether or not your prompt mentions them — a prompt's silence about any of them is
the expected shape, never permission:

colour as information rather than as your verdict — every run after the label

- **Wait for CI to converge before you return the report — local green is not CI
green.** Read the gate jobs' real conclusions on the PR (**ESLint** and
**TypeScript Type Check**): this repo's family gates
(`check:engine-double-contract`, `check:error-code-casing`,
`check:route-envelope`, …) run *inside* the ESLint job, so one of them going red
shows up there and nowhere in your local `pnpm test` output. A job still
`in_progress` is not a pass, and the aggregate status is not the job's
conclusion. #5584 reported on local green while its ESLint job had no
conclusion yet; the job went red, the PR merged red anyway, and that red then
rode main's merge ref into every later PR's ESLint job until #5615 hot-fixed it.
A gate that goes red here is yours to fix in this task, not to report as done.
This wait is **foreground polling** — the same legitimate blocking wait as
`flock` in resource rule 1, and ⛔ never a background watcher you return from
mid-task (resource rule 6 still binds).
- **Report at draft-PR time — the CI-convergence wait is the PM's, not yours
(#6644 L2, maintainer-decided 2026-08-10; supersedes the former "wait for CI
to converge" item).** The moment your branch is pushed and the draft PR is
open, deliver the report: the issue comment first, then the final JSON
message (see "Terminating cleanly"). Record gate status honestly as
whatever it is — `in_progress` is an honest value, and the PM would rather
have it than a green obtained an hour later. ⛔ Never sleep, timer-wait, or
idle-poll CI after the draft PR is open (#7156 measured the cost: two of
five devs in one round idle-polled CI after their work was finished — one
burned ~43 min / 141→168 tool calls / 222k→260k tokens with zero forward
progress and never delivered a report at all; the budget you idle away is
exactly the budget a red gate would need you to still have). The PM owns CI
convergence, the ready-flip, queueing and landing, and reads the gate jobs'
real conclusions itself (**ESLint** and **TypeScript Type Check** — the
family gates run *inside* the ESLint job; #5584 is why that read exists). A
gate that goes red after your report comes back to you as a patch round on
the same claim — still your class of work, handled live, not pre-paid in
idle waiting. **Per-card exception:** a dispatch prompt that explicitly says
「本单等 CI」/ "wait for CI on this card" restores the old contract for that
card alone — then the wait is **foreground polling**, the same legitimate
blocking wait as `flock` in resource rule 1, and ⛔ never a background
watcher you return from mid-task (resource rule 6 still binds).
- Tear down anything you started — dev servers on random ports, **and every
background monitor you armed** (see "Terminating cleanly" immediately below:
a monitor left running outlives the thing it watched and re-fires your whole
report at the PM).

**Terminating cleanly — the structured report is your terminal action, and this
contract is measured to fail.** Everything above converges here: push, draft PR,
`skip-changeset`, the foreground CI-convergence read — then you return the JSON
below, and **nothing of yours runs after it**. Ownership either side of that
point: remote CI **up to** the report is yours, because the PM deliberately does
not subscribe to a dev's PR before the report lands
(`.claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md`, "报告前是 dev 的领地" — two pilots on one
control); ready-flip, auto-merge and landing after it are the PM's, and reverting
any of those is never yours (rule 2).
`skip-changeset`, the report — then **nothing of yours runs after it**.
Ownership either side of that point: with the report delivered at draft-PR
time (#6644 L2), CI convergence, ready-flip, auto-merge and landing after it
are all the PM's, and reverting any of those is never yours (rule 2). The PM
still does not subscribe to your PR before the report lands
(`.claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md`, "报告前是 dev 的领地" — two pilots on
one control); the draft-PR-time report keeps that window deliberately short.

**The report lands twice, GitHub first.** Before your final message, post the
SAME JSON as a comment on the issue, opening with the `<!-- os-dev-report -->`
marker alone on its first line — GitHub is the report's source of truth in
**both** dispatch modes (the PM's step-6 collection sweeps for that marker
first); your return message is an accelerator, not the record. Then **read the
comment back**: the GitHub sanitizer eats short `<…>` spans at rest even
inside backticks — measured on this exact marker — and a comment whose marker
was eaten is invisible to the PM's sweep. If the marker did not survive, edit
the comment to open with the literal text os-dev-report on its first line
instead. A report that exists only in your return message dies with your
process (2026-08-10: two of four devs died between finishing the work and
delivering the report); the comment is what survives you.

watches.** A monitor is bound to its own deadline, never to its subject's
