+# Roll Loop
 
-# Roll Loop (Autonomous BACKLOG Executor)
+This hub keeps the routing boundary, hard gates, and execution skeleton in the initial context. Load the heavier runbook only when the task actually needs the detailed contract.
 
-> Follows the Architecture Constraints, Development Discipline, and Engineering
-> Common Sense defined in the project AGENTS.md.
+## Load
 
-Runs on a schedule. Picks up pending BACKLOG items and executes them without
-human intervention. The human stays informed via `roll-brief` and retains
-sole authority over releases.
+Load when configuring, explaining, or operating Roll autonomous backlog execution loop that scans Todo work and dispatches US/FIX/REFACTOR items.
 
-## Execution Boundary
+## When Not to Use
 
-**What roll-loop executes autonomously:**
-- US-XXX (User Stories) → `$roll-build`
-- FIX-XXX (Bug fixes) → `$roll-fix`
-- REFACTOR-XXX (Refactors) → `$roll-build`
+- One-shot story execution by a human agent; load roll-build or roll-fix.
+- Nightly architecture scan; load roll-.dream.
 
-**What roll-loop never executes:**
-- Releases — production deployment is always a human decision (requires 2FA in real terminal)
-- Any Story marked 🚫 Hold or flagged for human review
-- Destructive operations outside normal skill scope
+## Read On Demand
 
-**Human bypass path** — roll-loop 是默认调度器，不垄断执行权。任何时刻人可直接
-`$roll-build US-XXX` 或 `$roll-fix FIX-XXX` 绕过 loop 立即执行（紧急 bug、中断插入、
-故事评审等场景）。loop 通过 LOCK 和 `🔨 In Progress` 状态识别并跳过人正在做的故事，
-人机并行不会撞车（见 Concurrency Safety）。
+- Read [the full contract](references/full-contract.md) before executing the workflow end to end, recovering from failures, or checking exact output templates.
+- Keep this hub in context for trigger boundaries and hard gates.
 
-## Environment Constraints (autonomous loop)
+## Workflow Skeleton
 
-You are running inside an autonomous cycle. No human is watching this turn.
-Adapt commands to the constraints below — otherwise you will burn turns on
-denied operations and the cycle will idle-exit.
+1. Scan BACKLOG for Todo items.
+2. Route US/FIX/REFACTOR to the right skill.
+3. Run bounded cycles with fresh context.
+4. Persist events, runs, alerts, and status.
+5. Pause on repeated failure.
 
-- **No `AskUserQuestion`**: no human can answer. If you genuinely cannot
-  proceed without a decision, write an entry to `${HOME}/.shared/roll/loop/ALERT-<slug>.md`
-  describing what's needed and exit cleanly.
-- **Avoid compound bash**: each `Bash` call must run a single command.
-  No `cmd1 && cmd2`, no `cmd1 ; cmd2`, no pipes (`|`), no `$(...)` /
-  backtick subshells, no `bash -c '...'` with nested quoting. These are
-  rejected by static analysis before they run. Chain operations as
-  separate Bash calls and read intermediate output yourself.
-- **Prefer Read/Edit over cat/sed**: use the `Read` tool for any file
-  lookup, `Edit` for modifications. They cross sandbox boundaries that
-  `cat` / `ls` / `sed` cannot.
-- **CWD-relative paths first**: the cycle's CWD is the per-cycle worktree.
-  Files inside it (.roll/backlog.md, bin/roll, tests/, docs/) are always
-  accessible. Files at `~/.shared/roll/...` are reachable via the `Read`
-  tool but not via shell commands.
-- **Quote every glob**: the `Bash` tool runs commands through the user's
-  login shell, which on macOS is typically `zsh`. zsh's default `nomatch`
-  aborts unquoted globs that find no match with `(eval):1: no matches
-  found: <pattern>` and exit 1, burning a turn on a meaningless error.
-  Quote literal globs (`ls 'tests/integration/helpers.*'`) or — better —
-  use the `Glob` tool, which is shell-agnostic and never aborts on empty
-  matches.
-- **Skill invocation is the work**: route US/REFACTOR via `$roll-build`,
-  FIX via `$roll-fix`. Do not try to re-implement those flows inline.
+## Hard Gates
 
-## Configuration
+- Loop never cuts a release autonomously.
+- Fail-loud and PAUSE beat silent fallback.
 
-```yaml
-# ~/.roll/config.yaml
-loop:
-  primary_agent: claude          # claude | deepseek | kimi | pi | ...
-  max_items_per_run: 1           # one story per cycle — atomic delivery, predictable cycle time
-  brief_on_feature_complete: true
-  retry_backoff: [2, 4, 8, 16]  # seconds, exponential
-```
+## Gotchas
 
-## Workflow
+- Loop dispatches backlog items; it must not merge releases or bypass human-on-the-loop decisions.
+- Fail-loud pause behavior is preferable to silent fallback when repeated execution breaks.
 
-> **One story per cycle (强约束)**: 每个 cycle 只 pick 一个 Todo、跑完 Step 4
-> 立刻退出，不再回 Step 2 找下一个。理由：
-> - cycle 时间可预测（不会因贪心一连串 PR 撞 45 分钟 hard timeout）
-> - PR / events / dashboard 每行一个故事，归因清晰
-> - 一个故事一个 PR 一次 review，blast radius 最小
->
-> 唯一例外是依赖修复（CI self-heal 等）已经内嵌在当前故事的 Step 4 里——
-> 那部分不算"新挑故事"。
->
-> 实现层：max_items_per_run 默认 1，executor skill 跑完 Step 5 必须 exit。
-> 不要在同一个 cycle 内多次 emit `pick_todo` 事件。
+## Maintenance
 
-### Step 1 — Orphan 🔨 Recovery
-
-Process-level crash recovery (LOCK, heartbeat, retry budget) is handled by
-the runner in `bin/roll:_write_loop_runner_script` — the per-project LOCK
-guarantees only one cycle for this slug is alive when you start. So at
-this point, any `🔨 In Progress` row in `.roll/backlog.md` belongs to a
-previous cycle that crashed before flipping it back; reclaim it before
-scanning.
-
-1. Scan .roll/backlog.md for all rows whose Status column contains `🔨 In Progress`.
-2. For each such row: revert the status back to
-   `📋 Todo`, commit `chore: revert orphan 🔨 US-XXX to 📋`, and append
-   a line to `~/.shared/roll/loop/ALERT-<slug>.md` recording the orphan
-   id and time so the next brief surfaces it.
-3. After orphan sweep, proceed to Step 1.5 (Pre-run CI health check) before scanning.
-
-### Step 1.5 — Pre-run CI Health Check
-
-Call `roll loop precheck-ci` before scanning BACKLOG. This is a **defensive gate**
-against building on a broken base. Check the **exit code** and route accordingly:
-
-| Exit code | Meaning | Action |
-|-----------|---------|--------|
-| `0` | CI green / pending / unknown | Proceed to Step 1.6 (PR Inbox) and Step 2 (BACKLOG scan) |
-| `1` | CI red AND heal exhausted or `ROLL_LOOP_NO_HEAL=1` | ALERT already written; exit cleanly this cycle |
-| `2` | CI red AND heal attempt allowed (US-LOOP-046) | **Hot-fix path** — skip BACKLOG, fix CI instead (see below) |
-
-`gh` missing or repo unparseable → `precheck-ci` returns `0`; graceful skip.
-
-**Hot-fix path (exit code 2) — US-LOOP-046:**
-
-Do NOT pick any BACKLOG stories this cycle. Instead:
-
-1. Capture context: `roll loop hotfix-head-context` → prints path to context log
-2. Invoke `Skill("roll-fix")` with brief:
-   `"CI red on HEAD. Failing run logs at <context-log-path>. Diagnose root cause, fix via TCR, commit, push. Do NOT change BACKLOG status."`
-3. After `roll-fix` completes, re-run `roll ci --wait` to verify the fix
-4. If CI is still red: run `roll loop precheck-ci` again; if it returns `1` (heal exhausted),
-   exit cleanly — ALERT was already written by the precheck
-
-### Step 1.6 — PR Inbox (US-AUTO-034)
-
-Before scanning BACKLOG, process open PRs first. PRs are also units of work:
-external contributors and human teammates expect their PRs to be reviewed and
-moved forward, not starved while loop opens new fronts.
-
-Call `_loop_pr_inbox` after the pre-run CI check passes. It walks
-`gh pr list --state open` and routes each PR by classification:
-
-| Classification | Action |
-|---|---|
-| `loop_self` (head ref starts with `loop/` **or** `claude/`, CI not red) | `_loop_pr_merge_self_eager` — squash-merge directly when CI green + clean; if the PR is BEHIND/CONFLICTING with main, `_loop_pr_rebase_stale` rebases it first (circuit-gated) so it merges on a later tick. Never AI-review your own commit. (Agent-authored `claude/*` PRs are loop-owned the same way; a CI-red `claude/*` PR is **not** auto-healed — it falls through for a human to decide.) |
-| `loop_self_ci_red` (loop/* PR whose CI went red) | **US-LOOP-062a**: `_loop_pr_heal_self` — background-heal (per-PR lock + heal budget `ROLL_LOOP_HEAL_MAX`, default 2, via `_project_agent`); on `ROLL_LOOP_NO_HEAL=1` / budget exhausted → deduped `[TYPE:loop-pr-ci-red]` ALERT (never silently dropped) |
-| `blocked_human_request_changes` | Skip — last human review requested changes; wait for the author to push fixes |
-| `blocked_human_approved` | **US-LOOP-062b**: `_loop_pr_merge_approved` — merge directly (`gh pr merge --squash`) when CI green + mergeable, instead of relying on repo auto-merge (which may be off); merge failure is non-fatal (retried next tick) |
-| `stale` (CI failed or branch behind/conflicting) | Try `_loop_pr_rebase_stale` after the circuit breaker allows it |
-| `eligible` (clean external PR, no blocking review) | Invoke `_loop_pr_review_external` — the actual decision is provided by US-AUTO-035's GitHub Action |
-
-**Rebase circuit breaker** — `_loop_pr_rebase_circuit <pr>` records each rebase
-attempt under `pr_state.<PR>.attempts_at` in the per-slug state file
-(`~/.shared/roll/loop/state-<slug>.yaml`, FIX-052), pruning entries older
-than 24 h. Once ≥3 attempts land within 24 h, further rebases are blocked and an
-ALERT is written (typical cause: a broken workflow file makes CI never run,
-which would otherwise drive infinite rebase loops).
-
-**Lenient on infrastructure** — `gh` missing, repo unparseable, or any
-`gh` API failure → `_loop_pr_inbox` returns 0 and the loop falls through to
-Step 2 (BACKLOG scan). Same posture as the pre-run CI check.
-
-### Step 2 — Scan BACKLOG
-
-Read `.roll/backlog.md`. Collect all rows where Status = `📋 Todo`, in order:
-
-Priority: FIX-XXX first (bugs block progress), then US-XXX, then REFACTOR-XXX.
-
-**Skip rows with Status = `🔨 In Progress`**. These are currently being executed by:
-- Another concurrent executor (human via `$roll-build`, peer agent)
-- An earlier loop iteration that hasn't finished yet (rare; should be guarded by LOCK)
-- A previous interrupted run (the resume logic in Step 1 will pick these up)
-
-**In-flight PR gate** (FIX-048). Before picking, also exclude stories already
-claimed by an **open `loop/*` PR**. Each cycle's worktree is branched from
-`origin/main`, so a story another cycle has marked 🔨 In Progress is invisible
-locally until that cycle's PR merges. Without this gate, two cycles started
-back-to-back will both pick the same Todo row and produce duplicate PRs.
-
-```bash
-bash -c 'source "$(command -v roll)"; _loop_pr_claimed_stories'
-#   stdout: one story ID per line (deduped) — these are claimed by open
-#           loop/* PRs on the remote. SKIP any candidate whose ID appears.
-#   exit 0 always (lenient: gh missing / API error → empty output).
-```
-
-**Dependency gate** (FIX-032). For each `📋 Todo` candidate, before picking:
-
-```bash
-# Source bin/roll once per cycle, then call the helper per candidate.
-source "$(command -v roll)"
-
-bash -c 'source "$(command -v roll)"; _loop_check_depends_on "<story-id>" .roll/backlog.md'
-#   exit 0 → all `depends-on:US-X,US-Y` are ✅ Done → eligible
-#   exit 1 → stdout lists unsatisfied dep IDs; SKIP this story, log to
-#            runs.jsonl `skipped` with reason "depends-on: <unsatisfied>"
-```
-
-Move to the next candidate when skipping. The gate is a pure function
-over .roll/backlog.md text — no side effects, no LOCK interaction.
-
-Cap at `max_items_per_run` to limit blast radius per cycle.
-
-### Concurrency Safety
-
-Loop has two layers of concurrency protection:
-
-1. **Per-project LOCK** (enforced by runner script, see `bin/roll:_write_loop_runner_script`):
-   - LOCK file path: `~/.shared/roll/loop/.LOCK-<project-slug>`
-   - On launch: if LOCK exists and the PID inside is alive → exit 0 (previous loop still running)
-   - On launch: if LOCK exists but PID is dead → clean up stale LOCK and continue
-   - On exit (normal or via trap): LOCK is removed
-   - One LOCK per project — different projects' loops run independently
-
-2. **🔨 In Progress story status** (enforced here):
-   - Before picking a story, check its status is `📋 Todo`
-   - Skip any `🔨 In Progress` row (someone else is on it)
-   - Mark each story `🔨 In Progress` BEFORE invoking the executor skill (see Step 3)
-   - On completion: update to `✅ Done`; on TCR failure: revert to `📋 Todo`
-
-Together these mean: only one loop runs at a time per project (LOCK), and within a loop, stories already claimed by humans or peer agents are skipped (status check).
-
-### Step 3 — Route and Execute
-
-> **US-AGENT-006 — Per-story agent routing (pre-cycle)**
->
-> Before this skill even starts, the runner inner script has already:
-> 1. Picked the next eligible Todo via `_loop_pick_next_story` (priority FIX > US > REFACTOR, depends-on gate respected)
-> 2. Read its Agent profile (est_min / risk_zone) and routed an agent via `_loop_pick_agent_for_story` (hard rules from `.roll/agent-routes.yaml` + soft preference from `runs.jsonl`)
-> 3. Exported `ROLL_LOOP_ROUTED_STORY` / `ROLL_LOOP_ROUTED_AGENT` / `ROLL_LOOP_ROUTED_RULE` and printed `[loop] story <id> routed to <agent> via <rule_kind>` to cron.log
->
-> When `ROLL_LOOP_ROUTED_STORY` is set, prefer it as `US_ID` for this cycle. The story has already been chosen by hard+soft routing rules — and, per FIX-146, the runner re-validates it against the authoritative backlog right before handing it to you (re-picking the next eligible Todo if it went ✅ Done / In Progress / ineligible between pick and handoff, emitting a `story_stale` event). So treat `ROLL_LOOP_ROUTED_STORY` as already-eligible and just work it. Only if you still find at cycle start that it is no longer 📋 Todo in BACKLOG (a residual concurrent flip), re-pick the next eligible Todo via `_loop_pick_next_story` rather than idling the whole cycle.
->
-> Old single-agent fallback (`primary_agent` from `~/.roll/config.yaml`) still applies when:
-> - no story is pickable (empty Todo / all blocked by depends-on)
-> - the matching agent-routes.yaml has no agent that fits the story profile (then `cold_start_default` is used)
-
-For each item, **before invoking the executor skill**, mark the story 🔨 In Progress in the **main repo's** .roll/backlog.md so brief and peer agents can see it being worked on. The cycle worktree is gitignored at .roll/, so editing the worktree's own copy + committing carries no change back to main — write directly via the helper instead:
-
-```bash
-bash -c 'source "$(command -v roll)"; _loop_mark_in_progress US-XXX'
-# Updates ${ROLL_MAIN_PROJECT}/.roll/backlog.md in place: flips the row
-# containing US-XXX from "📋 Todo" to "🔨 In Progress". Idempotent.
-```
-
-If the executor fails (TCR aborts, CI red, etc.), revert the marker so the next cycle can re-pick the story:
-
-```bash
-bash -c 'source "$(command -v roll)"; _loop_mark_todo US-XXX'
-```
-
-Status flips happen in main directly — no per-cycle commit needed. `roll-brief` reads main's backlog, so the 🔨 marker is visible the moment the helper returns.
-
-选定故事后，调用 `_loop_event` 发出 pick_todo 事件，让 dashboard / monitor / attach 都能把"这个 cycle 选了哪个 story"正确归类：
-
-```bash
-# 选定故事后立即 emit（在调用 executor skill 之前）
-# label 必须是 cycle_id（来自 bin/roll 注入的 LOOP_CYCLE_ID 环境变量），
-# 不是 US_ID — dashboard 按 label 聚类，US_ID 当 label 会让事件分到错的桶
-# 里，cycle 看起来"有 token 没 ID"。
-_loop_event pick_todo "$LOOP_CYCLE_ID" "$US_ID" ""
-```
-
-Then invoke the executor:
-
-```
-Item type         → Skill invoked
-─────────────────────────────────
-US-XXX            → Skill("roll-build", "US-XXX")
-FIX-XXX           → Skill("roll-fix", "FIX-XXX")
-REFACTOR-XXX      → Skill("roll-build", "REFACTOR-XXX")
-```
-
-The executor will update the row to `✅ Done` on success (it transitions from `🔨 In Progress` → `✅ Done`, same Edit logic as from `📋 Todo`).
-
-Before invoking, also write current item to the per-slug state file
-(`~/.shared/roll/loop/state-<slug>.yaml`, FIX-052):
-
-```yaml
-status: running
-current_item: US-AUTO-004
-started_at: "2026-05-10T02:00:00+08:00"
-agent: claude
-run_id: loop-20260510-0200
-```
-
-### Step 4 — Post-Item Cleanup
-
-After each item completes:
-
-1. **TCR 硬校验** — call `roll loop enforce-tcr <story_id> <started_at>`:
-   - Count `tcr:` prefix commits since `started_at` via `git log --oneline --since=<started_at>`
-   - Count == 0 → revert story status in .roll/backlog.md from ✅ Done → 📋 Todo; write ALERT to `~/.shared/roll/loop/ALERT-<slug>.md` with story ID, time, reason "zero tcr: commits since story start", and suggested actions (`roll loop now` / `$roll-build <id>` / `roll loop reset`)
-   - Count > 0 → continue normally
-2. **CI Gate** — **MUST** invoke `roll ci --wait` (the `_loop_enforce_ci`
-   wrapper). **Do NOT call `gh` directly** (no `gh run list`, no `gh run watch`,
-   no ad-hoc shell checks): `roll ci --wait` is the only sanctioned entry —
-   it derives `owner/repo` from the git remote and uses `gh -R <slug>`, which
-   is required to work through `~/.ssh/config` host rewrites that break gh's
-   auto-detection.
-   - CI passes → clear any `heal_count:` entry in `~/.shared/roll/loop/state-<slug>.yaml` (idempotent — drop the line if present, no-op otherwise) and continue normally
-   - CI fails / times out / `gh` call fails → enter **CI self-heal** (US-AUTO-041)
-   - `gh` binary not installed (`command -v gh` fails) → skip gracefully
-     (return 0). Any other `gh` error is **not** "gh unavailable" — it is a
-     hard failure and must block the gate.
-
-   **CI self-heal (US-AUTO-041)** — bounded auto-fix before ALERT.
-
-   Read `heal_count:` from `~/.shared/roll/loop/state-<slug>.yaml`; treat a missing line as `0`. If the count is below `ROLL_LOOP_HEAL_MAX` (default 2) and `ROLL_LOOP_NO_HEAL` is not set, increment it and take Path A. Otherwise take Path B.
-
-   **Path A — attempt allowed (counter incremented in `state-<slug>.yaml`):**
-
-   1. Capture failure summary:
-      ```
-      gh run view --log-failed --repo <slug> \
-        $(gh run list --commit HEAD --json databaseId,conclusion -L 5 \
-          | jq -r '.[] | select(.conclusion=="failure") | .databaseId' | head -1) \
-        2>/dev/null | head -200 > /tmp/roll-heal-<story_id>.log
-      ```
-   2. Invoke `Skill("roll-fix")` with brief:
-      `"CI red after <story_id>. Failing run logs at /tmp/roll-heal-<story_id>.log.
-      Diagnose root cause, fix via TCR, commit, push. Do NOT change <story_id>'s
-      BACKLOG status — it stays ✅ Done. The fix is a follow-up."`
-   3. After `roll-fix` completes, return to step 2 (CI Gate) — re-run `roll ci --wait`.
-      The counter in `state-<slug>.yaml` prevents infinite loops.
-
-   **Path B — heal exhausted (≥`ROLL_LOOP_HEAL_MAX`, default 2) or disabled (`ROLL_LOOP_NO_HEAL=1`) (exit 1):**
-
-   1. Do NOT force ✅ Done here. CI red means the PR will not merge. Under
-      **US-AUTO-044** the main loop no longer waits for merge — it publishes the
-      PR and exits; the dedicated PR Loop (`com.roll.pr.<slug>`, every 5 min)
-      merges / rebases / closes it asynchronously. There is no false-Done risk:
-      with worktree isolation the ✅ Done lives only in the unmerged PR, never on
-      the loop's main checkout, and the story is not re-picked meanwhile via the
-      open-PR eligibility gate (`_loop_story_is_eligible`, FIX-146). The story's
-      ✅ Done lands on main only when the PR Loop actually merges the PR.
-   2. Write ALERT to `~/.shared/roll/loop/ALERT-<slug>.md` with:
-      - story ID, time, commit SHA
-      - heal attempts made (read `heal_count:` from `state-<slug>.yaml`)
-      - last failure summary (head of `/tmp/roll-heal-<story_id>.log`)
-      - suggested actions: `$roll-fix` manually / inspect CI / `roll loop reset`
-   3. Skip to next story.
-
-   **Bypass for debugging / cost control:** set `ROLL_LOOP_NO_HEAL=1` to restore
-   pre-US-AUTO-041 fail-fast behaviour.
-3. Update state file: `status: idle`
-4. Check if a Feature is now fully complete (all its Stories ✅)
-5. If yes and `brief_on_feature_complete: true` → invoke `Skill("roll-brief")`
-6. **EXIT the cycle.** 不要回 Step 2 找下一个故事，不要再 emit `pick_todo`。
-   一个 cycle 只交付一个故事；剩下的 Todo 等下一个 launchd tick 起新 cycle 处理。
-
-### Step 5 — Write Run Summary
-
-> **FIX-044**: The inner runner script (`_write_loop_runner_script` in `bin/roll`)
-> now appends this record deterministically at cycle end. The shell write is the
-> authoritative record; the agent should still emit a run summary in the cycle's
-> final report for `cron.log` visibility.
-
-After all items in this cycle:
-
-```yaml
-# ~/.shared/roll/loop/state-<slug>.yaml (FIX-052)
-status: idle
-last_run: "2026-05-10T02:15:00+08:00"
-last_run_items: [US-AUTH-003, FIX-007]
-last_run_outcome: success
-```
-
-Then append a JSONL record to `~/.shared/roll/loop/runs.jsonl` for per-iteration
-visibility (one line per cycle, append-only — never delete or rewrite earlier lines).
-
-**⚠️ Strict schema contract — do NOT deviate.** Every field has exactly one
-canonical form. Synonyms like `"success"`, `"noop"`, `"completed"` are forbidden
-for `status`. Numbers and arrays cannot be interchanged. UTC `Z` suffix only,
-no timezone offsets. **No extra fields** — emit only the keys listed below (plus
-optional `reason` when `status="failed"`); do not add `note`, `comment`,
-`details`, `info`, etc. If you feel the urge to annotate, put it in the cycle's
-final report in `cron.log` instead.
-
-**Canonical record (copy this exact shape, fill in real values):**
-
-```json
-{"ts":"2026-05-11T11:46:43Z","project":"roll-d9dfa0","run_id":"loop-20260511-1911","status":"built","built":["US-AUTO-024","US-AUTO-025"],"skipped":[],"alerts":[],"tcr_count":5,"duration_sec":2080}
-```
-
-**Field contract — types are enforced**:
-
-| Field | Type | Format / Enum |
-|---|---|---|
-| `ts` | string | ISO 8601 **UTC** with `Z` suffix. Get via `date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`. Never use `+08:00` or other offsets. |
-| `project` | string | Project **slug** only (e.g. `roll-d9dfa0`), NOT the absolute path and NOT plain `basename`. Compute via: `p=$(pwd -P); base=$(basename "$p" | tr -cs '[:alnum:]' '-' | sed 's/-*$//'); hash=$(printf '%s' "$p" | md5 | cut -c1-6 2>/dev/null || printf '%s' "$p" | md5sum | cut -c1-6); echo "${base}-${hash}"` |
-| `run_id` | string | Matches `state-<slug>.yaml` `run_id` exactly. Format: `loop-YYYYMMDD-HHMM`. |
-| `status` | enum | Exactly one of: `built` (≥1 story shipped), `idle` (no Todo items found), `failed` (paused/error). **No synonyms.** |
-| `built` | array&lt;string&gt; | Story ids completed this cycle. `[]` when none. **Always array, never null/number.** |
-| `skipped` | array&lt;string&gt; | Story ids skipped because they were `🔨 In Progress`. `[]` when none. **Always array.** |
-| `alerts` | array&lt;string&gt; | Newly raised ALERT identifiers/tags this cycle. `[]` when none. **Always array, never number.** |
-| `tcr_count` | integer | Total `tcr:` prefix commits made this cycle. `0` when none. |
-| `duration_sec` | integer | Seconds from cycle start to completion. Integer only, no decimals. |
-
-Optional field, only when `status == "failed"`:
-- `reason` (string): short human-readable explanation.
-
-**Write recipe:**
-

-## Failure Handling
-
-### Network Error (transient)
-
-```
-Attempt 1 fails
-  → wait 2s → Attempt 2
-  → wait 4s → Attempt 3
-  → wait 8s → Attempt 4
-  → wait 16s → Attempt 5
-  → still failing → escalate to token/agent failure path
-```
-
-### Token Exhausted / Agent Unavailable
-
-```
-Primary agent fails (non-network error)
-  → 3 attempts at the agent_invoke phase (with 30s back-off between)
-  → still failing → PAUSE
-```
-
-### Pause + Alert
-
-When the primary agent exhausts its retry budget:
-
-1. Write state:
-```yaml
-status: paused
-paused_at: "2026-05-10T02:07:00+08:00"
-paused_on: US-AUTH-003
-reason: "primary agent (claude) unavailable after 3 attempts"
-```
-
-2. Write alert:
-```markdown
-# ALERT — roll-loop paused
-
-**Time**: 2026-05-10 02:07
-**Paused on**: US-AUTH-003
-**Reason**: claude exited non-zero on 3 consecutive attempts
-
-**Action required** (choose one):
-- Top up credits and run: `roll loop resume`
-- Switch agent: edit `~/.roll/config.yaml` → `primary_agent`
-- Take over manually: `$roll-build US-AUTH-003`
-```
-
-3. Write alert file to `~/.shared/roll/loop/ALERT-<slug>.md`
-
-## Resuming After Pause
-
-```bash
-roll loop resume   # picks up from state-<slug>.yaml current_item
-roll loop status   # show current state without running
-roll loop reset    # clear state and start fresh next scheduled run
-```
-
-## Scheduler Configuration
-
-roll-loop runs **locally** — it needs access to the local codebase, local
-test runner, and local agent CLI. GitHub Actions runs on remote servers and
-cannot fulfill these requirements.
-
-### Local cron (default)
-
-Install once with `roll loop on` — agent selection happens per cycle from the
-`.roll/agents.yaml` complexity slots (easy/default/hard/fallback), so the cron
-entry is agent-agnostic. No agent-specific command needed.
-
-```bash
-roll loop on      # install cron for loop + dream + brief
-roll loop off     # remove cron entries
-roll loop status  # show current state
-```
-
-### Manual run (for testing)
-
-```bash
-roll loop now     # execute one cycle immediately
-```
-
-### Live attach (transparency)
-
-Each loop iteration runs inside a detached tmux session named
-`roll-loop-<slug>` (tmux is a required dependency — `roll setup` auto-installs
-it via Homebrew on macOS, or prints the install command elsewhere).
-
-**Default — auto-attach popup**: when the loop fires, a background Terminal
-window pops up running `tmux attach -t roll-loop-<slug>`. You can watch the
-agent work in real time without typing anything. The popup is best-effort
-focus-retaining (it captures the previously-active app and restores focus
-after the window appears) and the tmux session keeps running even if you
-close the window.
-
-**Manual attach** (any time):
-
-```bash
-roll loop attach   # exec tmux attach -t roll-loop-<slug>
-```
-
-Press `Ctrl-B D` to detach — the loop continues running uninterrupted.
-
-**Mute / unmute the popup**:
-
-```bash
-roll loop mute     # 🔇 — suppress auto-attach popup (loop still runs in tmux)
-roll loop unmute   # 🔔 — re-enable the popup
-```
-
-Mute state is a single marker file at `~/.shared/roll/mute` and is shared
-across all projects on this machine. Check the current state with
-`roll loop status` — it shows an `Auto-attach: live | muted` line.
