+# Production Blocking Coordination - Investigation & Implementation Plan
+
+**Status:** Investigation Complete → Planning Phase
+**Target:** Production-ready blocking coordination for real-world CFN Loop scenarios
+**Priority:** P0 (Core Infrastructure)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Real-World Requirements Analysis
+
+### 1.1 Current System Integration Points
+
+**Existing Coordination Systems:**
+1. **CFN Loop (4-layer coordination):**
+   - Loop 0: Epic/Sprint orchestration
+   - Loop 1: Phase execution
+   - Loop 2: Consensus validation (2-4 validators, ≥0.90 threshold)
+   - Loop 3: Implementation swarm (max 10 iterations, ≥0.75 confidence)
+   - Loop 4: Product Owner GOAP decision (PROCEED/DEFER/ESCALATE)
+
+2. **Swarm Coordination:**
+   - Mesh topology (2-7 agents, peer-to-peer)
+   - Hierarchical topology (8+ agents, coordinator→sub-agents)
+   - Redis-backed state persistence (24-hour TTL)
+   - Agent lifecycle: spawning, active, waiting, complete, failed
+
+3. **Agent State Management (existing):**
+   - File: `src/redis/swarm-state-manager.js`
+   - Features: State persistence, snapshots, recovery
+   - TTL: 24 hours for state, 5 minutes for snapshots
+   - Connection pool with retry strategy
+
+### 1.2 Real-World Scenarios Requiring Blocking
+
+**Scenario 1: CFN Loop 2 → Loop 3 Dependency**
+```
+Loop 3 (Implementation):
+  - Coordinators A, B, C spawn 30 coder agents
+  - Duration: 5-15 minutes depending on complexity
+  - State: Must stay alive for Loop 2 validation
+
+Loop 2 (Validation):
+  - Spawns 2-4 validator agents
+  - Reviews all Loop 3 outputs
+  - Duration: 3-10 minutes
+  - Sends retry requests if consensus <0.90
+
+REQUIREMENT: Loop 3 coordinators MUST block until Loop 2 completes
+```
+
+**Scenario 2: Multi-Phase Epic Coordination**
+```
+Phase 1 (Authentication):
+  - Implementation coordinator spawns 10 agents
+  - Review coordinator validates
+  - Duration: 10-20 minutes
+
+Phase 2 (Authorization):
+  - Depends on Phase 1 completion signal
+  - Cannot start until Phase 1 validated
+
+REQUIREMENT: Phase transitions require blocking coordination
+```
+
+**Scenario 3: Swarm Recovery After Interruption**
+```
+Initial Swarm:
+  - Coordinator spawns 50 agents
+  - System interruption at agent 30
+  - Redis state: 30 completed, 20 pending
+
+Recovery Swarm:
+  - New coordinator reads Redis state
+  - Resumes from agent 31
+  - Duration: Variable (1-60 minutes)
+
+REQUIREMENT: Original coordinator must stay alive OR
+             Recovery coordinator must detect dead state
+```
+
+### 1.3 Production Failure Scenarios
+
+**Failure Category 1: Network Partitions**
+- Redis connection lost mid-blocking
+- Coordinator cannot send/receive signals
+- Duration: 5 seconds to 5 minutes
+- **Impact:** Coordinators block indefinitely OR exit prematurely
+
+**Failure Category 2: Process Crashes**
+- Coordinator-C crashes after Loop 3 completes
+- Loop 3 coordinators still waiting for signal
+- No completion signal ever arrives
+- **Impact:** Infinite blocking (30-minute timeout trigger)
+
+**Failure Category 3: Resource Exhaustion**
+- System runs out of memory mid-coordination
+- OOM killer terminates random processes
+- Coordinators may be killed without cleanup
+- **Impact:** Orphaned Redis state, zombie agents
+
+**Failure Category 4: Clock Skew**
+- Distributed systems across multiple machines
+- System clocks not synchronized
+- Timestamp-based logic fails
+- **Impact:** Premature timeouts OR infinite blocking
+
+**Failure Category 5: Signal Race Conditions**
+- Completion signal sent before coordinator enters blocking
+- Coordinator never sees the signal
+- Duration: Microseconds to seconds
+- **Impact:** Infinite blocking until timeout
+
+---
+
+## 2. Gap Analysis
+
+### 2.1 Current Implementation Gaps
+
+**Gap 1: No Signal Acknowledgment**
+```bash
+# Current (send-only):
+redis-cli setex "coordination:signal:coordinator-a:complete" 3600 "true"
+
+# Problem: No confirmation that coordinator received signal
+# Impact: Cannot distinguish between:
+#   - Signal not sent
+#   - Signal sent but not received
+#   - Signal received but coordinator crashed
+```
+
+**Gap 2: Timeout Not Production-Tested**
+```bash
+# Specified: 30 minutes (1800s)
+# Tested: 140s max (7.8% of specified timeout)
+# Unknown: Does timeout actually trigger at 1800s?
+# Unknown: What happens if timeout triggers during retry processing?
+```
+
+**Gap 3: Heartbeat Persistence Unverified**
+```bash
+# Code shows heartbeat emission every 5s with 90s TTL
+# Test duration: 140s (28 heartbeats expected)
+# Validation: Heartbeat keys expired before consensus validation
+# Gap: Cannot confirm heartbeat mechanism works in production
+```
+
+**Gap 4: Dead Coordinator Detection Not Enforced**
+```bash
+# Code: Checks if Coordinator-C heartbeat >120s old
+# Action: Logs WARNING only
+# Gap: No escalation, no exit, no recovery
+# Impact: Coordinators block for 30 minutes despite dead coordinator
+```
+
+**Gap 5: Network Partition Handling**
+```bash
+# Current: Redis connection with retry (max 3 attempts)
+# Retry delay: 50ms * attempt (max 2000ms)
+# Gap: After 3 failures, what happens?
+# Gap: Can coordinator re-enter blocking loop after reconnect?
+```
+
+**Gap 6: Recovery from Premature Exit**
+```bash
+# Scenario: Coordinator crashes, restarts, re-enters blocking
+# Question: Does it re-subscribe to same signal?
+# Question: Can multiple instances block on same signal?
+# Gap: No idempotency guarantees
+```
+
+### 2.2 Integration Gaps
+
+**Integration Gap 1: CFN Loop State Machine**
+```
+Current CFN Loop:
+  Loop 3 → Loop 2 (how does transition happen?)
+
+Gap: No explicit state machine for loop transitions
+Gap: Blocking coordination not integrated with loop state
+Gap: Product Owner decision (Loop 4) not aware of blocking status
+```
+
+**Integration Gap 2: Swarm State Manager**
+```
+Existing: src/redis/swarm-state-manager.js
+Features: State persistence, snapshots, recovery
+
+Gap: No integration with blocking coordination
+Gap: Blocking state not persisted for recovery
+Gap: Cannot resume blocking after system restart
+```
+
+**Integration Gap 3: Agent Lifecycle Hooks**
+```
+Existing: pre_task, post_task hooks in agent profiles
+
+Gap: No "waiting" or "blocking" lifecycle hook
+Gap: No hook for "signal received" event
+Gap: Cannot customize blocking behavior per agent type
+```
+
+**Integration Gap 4: Memory Coordination**
+```
+Existing: Cross-agent memory via memory_key pattern
+
+Gap: Blocking state not stored in memory
+Gap: Cannot query "which coordinators are blocking?"
+Gap: No shared blocking context across agent swarms
+```
+

+  7. Verify Coordinator-A exits
+Expected: Reconnect + resume blocking
+```
+
+**Test Scenario 5: Signal Race Condition**
+```
+Duration: 30 seconds
+Steps:
+  1. Send completion signal to Redis
+  2. Immediately spawn Coordinator-A (enters blocking)
+  3. Verify Coordinator-A sees existing signal
+  4. Verify Coordinator-A exits immediately
+Expected: No infinite blocking
+```
+
+### 5.3 Stress Tests (Performance & Scale)
+
+**Stress Test 1: 100 Concurrent Coordinators**
+```
+Setup: 100 coordinators blocking simultaneously
+Signal: Send to all 100 at once
+Metrics:
+  - Max signal delivery time (p99)
+  - Redis memory usage
+  - CPU usage
+Target: <5s p99, <1GB memory, <50% CPU
+```
+
+**Stress Test 2: Long-Duration Blocking**
+```
+Setup: Coordinator blocks for 60 minutes
+Signal: Send after 60 minutes
+Metrics:
+  - Heartbeat continuity (100% expected)
+  - State consistency
+  - Memory leaks
+Target: No memory leaks, stable state
+```
+
+**Stress Test 3: High Retry Load**
+```
+Setup: 1000 retry requests queued

+  - No data loss
+```
+
+**Chaos Test 3: Clock Skew Simulation**
+```

+  - Uses Redis TIME (not local time)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Implementation Plan
+
+### 6.1 Phase 1: Core Fixes (P0 - Week 1)
+
+**Task 1.1: Implement Signal ACK Protocol**
+```bash
+# Coordinator receives signal:
+redis-cli setex "coordination:signal:coordinator-a:complete" 3600 "true"
+
+# Coordinator acknowledges:
+redis-cli setex "coordination:ack:coordinator-a:complete" 300 '{
+  "coordinator": "coordinator-a",
+  "timestamp": <time>,
+  "iteration": <count>
+}'
+
+# Sender verifies ACK:
+redis-cli get "coordination:ack:coordinator-a:complete"
+```
+
+**Task 1.2: Enforce Dead Coordinator Detection**
+```bash
+# Current: WARNING only
+if [ $C_AGE -gt 120 ]; then
+  echo "⚠️ WARNING: Coordinator-C heartbeat is ${C_AGE}s old"
+fi
+
+# Fixed: ESCALATE after 3 warnings
+if [ $C_AGE -gt 120 ]; then
+  WARNINGS=$((WARNINGS + 1))
+  if [ $WARNINGS -ge 3 ]; then
+    echo "❌ CRITICAL: Coordinator-C dead, escalating to timeout"
+    exit 1
+  fi
+fi
+```
+
+**Task 1.3: Add Redis Health Check**
+```bash
+# Every 10 iterations (50 seconds)
+if [ $((ITERATION % 10)) -eq 0 ]; then
+  REDIS_STATUS=$(redis-cli --pass "$REDIS_PASS" --no-auth-warning ping 2>&1)
+  if [ "$REDIS_STATUS" != "PONG" ]; then
+    echo "❌ Redis health check failed, retrying..."
+    # Retry logic here
+  fi
+fi
+```
+
+**Task 1.4: Extended Timeout Test**
+```bash
+# Test timeout at 3 minutes instead of 30
+TIMEOUT=180
+# Run for 5 minutes without signal
+# Verify timeout triggers at 3 minutes
+```
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- ✅ Signal ACK mechanism implemented
+- ✅ Dead coordinator detection enforced
+- ✅ Redis health check added
+- ✅ 3-minute timeout test passing
+- ✅ Documentation updated
+
+**Success Criteria:**
+- Consensus score improves from 0.83 to ≥0.90
+- All P0 failure modes mitigated
+- Extended timeout test passes
+
+### 6.2 Phase 2: Integration (P1 - Week 2)
+
+**Task 2.1: Integrate with Swarm State Manager**
+```javascript
+// Add blocking state to swarm-state-manager.js
+async saveBlockingState(coordinatorId, state) {
+  await this.redis.setex(
+    `swarm:blocking:${coordinatorId}`,
+    this.config.stateTTL,
+    JSON.stringify({
+      state: 'waiting',
+      dependencies: state.dependencies,
+      startTime: Date.now(),
+      timeout: state.timeout
+    })
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Task 2.2: Add Agent Lifecycle Hooks**
+```yaml
+# In agent profiles:
+lifecycle:
+  on_blocking_start: "npx claude-flow@alpha hooks on-blocking"
+  on_signal_received: "npx claude-flow@alpha hooks on-signal"
+  on_blocking_timeout: "npx claude-flow@alpha hooks on-timeout"
+```
+
+**Task 2.3: CFN Loop State Machine Integration**
+```javascript
+// CFN Loop state transitions
+const cfnLoopState = {
+  loop3: { status: 'complete', confidence: 0.85 },
+  loop2: { status: 'waiting', validators: ['validator-1', 'validator-2'] },
+  blocking: {
+    coordinators: ['coordinator-a', 'coordinator-b'],
+    state: 'waiting_for_validation'
+  }
+};
+```
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- ✅ Swarm state manager integration
+- ✅ Agent lifecycle hooks
+- ✅ CFN Loop state machine
+- ✅ Integration tests passing
+
+### 6.3 Phase 3: Production Hardening (P1 - Week 3)
+
+**Task 3.1: Observability Dashboard**
+```javascript
+// Real-time metrics:
+// - Active blocking coordinators
+// - Average blocking duration
+// - Signal delivery latency
+// - Heartbeat status
+// - Timeout events
+```
+
+**Task 3.2: Auto-Recovery Mechanisms**
+
+**What Recovery Covers:**
+1. **Orphaned State Cleanup** - Remove stale coordinator Redis keys
+2. **Failed Signal Retry** - Resend signals with exponential backoff
+3. **Dead Coordinator Detection** - Escalate to parent after 2 minutes
+4. **Replacement Coordinator Spawning** - Parent spawns NEW coordinator (fresh, no old context)
+
+**What Recovery Does NOT Cover:**
+- Cannot revive terminated coordinator in-place
+- Cannot restore terminated coordinator's context
+- Parent must re-initialize work if coordinator dies mid-execution
+
+**Implementation: On-Demand Cleanup Script**
+
+Create `scripts/cleanup-blocking-coordination.sh`:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Cleanup orphaned blocking coordination state
+# Safe for automated execution via cron/systemd timer
+
+# Find coordinators with stale heartbeats (>10 minutes)
+# Delete all associated Redis state:
+#   - coordination:heartbeat:*
+#   - coordination:signal:*:complete
+#   - coordination:ack:*:complete
+#   - coordination:retry:*
+#   - agent:*:state
+# Log all cleanup actions
+```
+
+**Scheduling Options:**
+1. **Systemd timer** (production): Every 5 minutes
+   ```ini
+   [Timer]
+   OnUnitActiveSec=5min
+   ```
+2. **Cron job** (simpler): `*/5 * * * * /path/to/scripts/cleanup-blocking-coordination.sh`
+3. **Manual** (development): `npm run cleanup:blocking`
+
+**Why On-Demand Script (Not Background Process):**
+- CFN Loop sessions are ephemeral (start/stop frequently)
+- Cleanup needed even when main service is down
+- Standard Unix pattern (cron/systemd timer)
+- Simple to implement, test, and debug
+- No process management overhead
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- ✅ `scripts/cleanup-blocking-coordination.sh` implemented
+- ✅ Systemd timer unit files created
+- ✅ npm script added: `npm run cleanup:blocking`
+- ✅ Cleanup logs to `~/.claude-flow/logs/blocking-cleanup.log`
+- ✅ Integration tests verify cleanup works correctly
+
+**Task 3.3: Comprehensive Monitoring**
+```javascript
+// Prometheus metrics:
+blocking_coordinators_total
+blocking_duration_seconds
+signal_delivery_latency_seconds
+heartbeat_failures_total
+timeout_events_total
+```
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- ✅ Monitoring dashboard
+- ✅ Auto-recovery scripts
+- ✅ Prometheus integration
+- ✅ Chaos tests passing
+
+### 6.4 Phase 4: Documentation & Training (P2 - Week 4)
+
+**Task 4.1: Update Documentation**
+- Blocking coordination pattern guide
+- Failure recovery playbook
+- Monitoring runbook
+- Integration examples
+
+**Task 4.2: Create Training Materials**
+- Video walkthrough of blocking coordination
+- Troubleshooting guide
+- Best practices document
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- ✅ Complete documentation
+- ✅ Training materials
+- ✅ Knowledge base articles
+
+---
+
+## 7. Risk Mitigation
+
+### 7.1 Technical Risks
+
+**Risk 1: Backward Compatibility**
+- **Mitigation:** Feature flag for new blocking mechanism
+- **Rollback:** Keep old mechanism available
+
+**Risk 2: Performance Degradation**
+- **Mitigation:** Benchmark before/after
+- **Threshold:** <5% performance impact allowed
+
+**Risk 3: Redis Single Point of Failure**
+- **Mitigation:** Redis Sentinel for HA
+- **Future:** Redis Cluster for horizontal scaling
+
+### 7.2 Operational Risks
+
+**Risk 1: Insufficient Testing**
+- **Mitigation:** Comprehensive test suite (see section 5)
+- **Staging:** 2-week staging deployment before production
+
+**Risk 2: Monitoring Gaps**
+- **Mitigation:** Prometheus + Grafana + PagerDuty
+- **Runbook:** Documented response procedures
