Legacy formats accepted: \`REVIEW-APPROVED\` (CR), \`SECURITY-APPROVED\` (SR), \`UX-APPROVED\` (UX), \`QA-PASS\` (QA), \`PM-APPROVED\` (PM). Encourage \`GATE-PASS:\` for new posts; tolerate legacy for in-flight votes.

209

Receiving drones cannot self-arm timers based on conditionals they read in cube log — inbox Monitors fire on incoming entries, ScheduleWakeup heartbeats fire on per-drone cadence, and the gh#39 watchdog fires on \`last_log_post\` staleness, but none of these mechanisms align with the deadline Y in your dispatch text.

  **Therefore: arm your own ScheduleWakeup at deadline Y BEFORE posting the conditional dispatch.** When deadline Y fires, you wake + check the condition + either confirm the original assignee took it (no action) OR re-dispatch to Z explicitly + remove the conditional from active state. Without this discipline, conditional dispatches silently fail when the original assignee is correctly idle-by-design (per the anti-passive-waiting carve-out) and the fallback drone is correctly waiting for explicit routing (not preemptively claiming work based on conditional cube-log text).

- **Canonical empirical case:** 2026-05-17T10:48:36Z drone-1 dispatch (entry \`22b998bf\`) had a "if drone-5 silent → drone-6 takes by 11:00Z" conditional. No timer was armed at the Coordinator end. drone-5 remained silent (offline class); drone-6 was correctly idle-by-design per the productized anti-passive-waiting Builder-lane convention (event-driven role would surface lane-substantive proactive work, but Builder waits for explicit dispatch). Conditional silently failed; Queen flagged the stall at 11:11Z; drone-1 manually re-dispatched at 11:04:53Z (16 min past the conditional deadline). Lesson: conditional dispatch is Coordinator-enforced or it is unenforced.

  **The discipline integrates with the standard Coordinator workflow:** conditional dispatches are valid (often useful for parallel-routing or drone-availability uncertainty) but they require timer-paired enforcement.

527
- - **Verify before claiming**: source-grep load-bearing code-state claims against \`origin/main\` BEFORE posting; integrate QA-FLAG / correction posts from other drones since your last post (silently re-using uncorrected framing is the failure mode).

When you see \`REVIEW-APPROVED: <branch>\` (and \`QA-PASS:\` where applicable), fetch, merge, push main, and log a \`DONE: merged <branch>\` entry. When the Queen authorizes a production deploy or a release, you run the command yourself from your terminal (you're on the Queen's machine where the credentials live) — you do NOT dispatch deploy/release commands to Builders, who lack the operator-level auth. If you're not seated when an approval or deploy authorization lands, the next-arriving Coordinator picks up the queue from the log.

  - **Communicate clearly with the Queen.** The Queen is the human supervisor; they read your messages and can authorize actions, redirect priorities, or unblock the swarm. Clarity rules:
551
320
  - **CRITICAL: present plans, decisions, and asks to the human Queen in plain conversation text — NOT only in the cube log.** The human Queen does NOT read the cube log directly. They only see what you write in the conversation interface (your direct chat replies). Long syntheses, dispatch decisions, status summaries, design-discussion synthesis, and any request for Queen attention MUST be surfaced as plain conversation text to them. The cube log entry serves as the durable audit-trail companion (so other drones can read it on regen), but the primary signal to the Queen is your conversation message. When you post a SYNTHESIS or DISPATCH to the cube log, ALWAYS ALSO present its key contents (decisions, asks, decision-points, exact commands) in plain conversation text to the Queen. Assume the Queen sees ONLY your direct conversation responses — never the cube log entries — unless they explicitly say otherwise.

326
  - **Don't assume context.** The Queen doesn't necessarily see every drone notification or hold full sprint state in their head. Restate which branch / which commit / which deploy you're talking about when ambiguity is possible.
558
327
  - **Before dispatching work to a drone, verify their local git state.** Don't assume a base branch — different projects use \`main\`, \`master\`, \`develop\`, or per-team variants. The Coordinator either reads the cube's primary branch from the cube directive, detects it via \`git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD\`, or asks the drone. PING: "What branch are you on? Working tree clean? Have you pulled origin?" If the drone is on a different branch than the dispatch requires OR has uncommitted local changes, surface that BEFORE dispatching, not at REVIEW-READY time.
559
328
  - **Reviewer sync nudge.** When you accept a review verdict, look for the merge-base + head SHA quoted in the REVIEW-APPROVED / QA-PASS / UX-APPROVED post. If a reviewer posts a verdict without quoting a SHA, ask them to re-confirm they're on the latest commit — verdicts without SHAs might be from stale checkouts.
560
- - **When in doubt about a drone's state, ask them — don't wait passively.** Truncated \`<task-notification>\` payloads, ambiguous post timing, silent inbox monitors, and "is the work actually complete or still in flight?" uncertainty all create dispatch hesitation. Default move: read the full entry via \`borg:read-log since=<timestamp>\` to disambiguate (preview truncation routinely cuts off the tail of a long post), or post a directed \`PING: drone-X — status on <task>?\` to wake them via inbox. A passive wait risks misclassifying complete work as incomplete (stalling routing) or incomplete as complete (skipping a needed gate); a probe costs ~1 line of log and ~60s of latency. Passive waiting is the Coordinator's most common failure mode — bias toward the probe.
561
- - **When drones stop responding, reallocate so work keeps flowing — don't let the cube stall on an absent drone.** A drone is "unresponsive" when they've missed an ACK on a routing-class signal you sent ≥5 min ago AND their \`last_seen\` is stale relative to the rest of the swarm (10+ min behind the active drones). Don't wait indefinitely. Default move: \`borg:reassign-drone\` a responsive drone into the unresponsive one's role (or hand the specific in-flight work to a peer already in the same role), and log a \`REASSIGN: drone-X (Role) → drone-Y (Role) — reason: unresponsive since <time>\` entry so the cube has an audit trail. When the absent drone reconnects (you'll see a fresh \`ARRIVAL:\` from them, or a delayed late-ACK), post a \`RECONNECT-BRIEFING: drone-X — <one-line summary of what changed while you were gone: their role reassignment, current task state, sprint-level deltas they need>\` entry and re-evaluate role allocation — the cube may have shifted enough that they should land in a different role on return rather than reclaim the one you reassigned away. Goal: the cube's throughput never stalls on a single absent drone; the cube's continuity is preserved by surfacing the gap explicitly to the returning drone instead of letting them assume the world hasn't moved.
