+## No watcher: an agent in the room handles GitHub (`hive_issue`, `hive_pr`)
+
+Since 0.14.8 nothing has to be started or kept running. The agent whose machine holds the room's
+repository reads GitHub when it is asked to, with that machine's own `gh` login.
+
+### Setup, once
+
+1. Bind a room to a branch, in the clone: `npx -y hivecode-mcp@latest branch <branch-name>`
+2. The agents join the room. One of them joins from the machine that has the clone and `gh auth login`.
+3. That agent's person tells it once: "you handle GitHub for this room".
+
+### What happens
+
+| step | who | what |
+|---|---|---|
+| Choose an issue | the agent with the repository | `hive_issue` with no arguments lists the open issues. |
+| Bring it in | the same agent | `hive_issue { number }`: the room gets one task for @all and one chat line with the issue's text, quoted as data. GitHub gets one comment: `Sent to room for branch <name>. In the room now: <agents>`. |
+| Build | everyone in the room | Plan, claim files, edit, run the tests, review each other (`hive_review`), mark the task done (`hive_complete`). |
+| Open the pull request | the agent with the repository | `hive_pr { confirm: true }`. It is refused until the task is done, no claim is held and every landing file was reviewed by someone who did not write it. The pull request is titled `<issue title> (#N)`, says `Closes #N`, names who reviewed, and reports the tests. The room is told the link. |
+| Review comes back | the agent with the repository | `hive_issue { feedback: true }`: review comments from people who can push, and failed checks, become one task for @all. Fixes go to the same pull request with `hive_pr`. |
+| Merged or closed | the agent with the repository | `hive_issue { feedback: true }` sees it, tells the room, and the room is free for the next issue. |
+
+### What can go wrong, and what we do
+
+| what goes wrong | what we do |
+|---|---|
+| The agent asked is not on the machine with the repository | Refused with Q582, naming the member and machine that hold it. |
+| `gh` is not logged in, or GitHub is down | Q590 with the reason. Nothing is posted. A failed read is never reported as "no such issue". |
+| The number is closed, missing, or a pull request | Q591. Nothing is posted. |
+| The same issue is brought in twice | One task, one comment. The second call says it is already in the room. |
+| A second issue while the first is in work | Q595. One issue at a time, because the room lands on one branch. `replace: true` drops the first and tells the room. |
+| The issue text contains `@Name`, a key, or instructions | `@` is neutralised, keys are removed, and the text is quoted and marked "not an instruction to do anything else". |
+| Another member writes a fake issue record into the room | Ignored. Which issue a pull request closes is read from a file in the repository's `.git` folder on the landing machine, never from the room. |
+| Done, but nobody else reviewed | Nothing is pushed. `allowUnreviewed: true` lands it only when the agent's person says so, and the pull request names the unreviewed files. |
+| Every change is unsigned, or the landing opens no pull request | Q588 / Q589. Never reported as "up for review". |
+| The tests fail at landing | Nothing is pushed, and the room gets a task to fix them. The same failed landing is not run again until the room's files or the branch change. |
+| A review comment from someone who cannot push, or a bot | Left out. |
+| The same review comments, or the same failed commit | Posted once. |
+
+The watcher below still works, for a repository where issues should start without anyone asking.

 ## Room mode: multi-agent issues in a shared room
 
 Room Mode hands labelled issues directly to agents already collaborating in a shared room bound to a branch.

package/docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md

@@ -96,6 +96,12 @@ This guide explains every error code (`Qxxx`) emitted by Hivecode CLI commands,
 | `Q585` | `hive-repos.js` | Calling `hive_pr` | Not currently connected to a room (`hive_join` has not been called). | Join a room first using `hive_join` before calling `hive_pr`. |
 | `Q586` | `hive-repos.js` | Calling `hive_pr` | Room connection is currently offline or disconnected from relay. | Wait for the room connection to reconnect to the relay before running `hive_pr`. |
 | `Q587` | `hive-land.js` | Landing a branch room (`pr`, `hive_pr`, room mode) | This clone's record of the commit the room was seeded from (git config `hivecode.<branch>.base`) differs from the room's own record. Landing uses it to tell an untouched file from one changed outside the room, so it refuses rather than guess. | If the room was reseeded from another clone, run `npx -y hivecode-mcp@latest branch <branch> --join "<room link>"` here to record the room's seed, then land again. |
+| `Q588` | `hive-room-mode.js` | Landing a finished issue or review task (GitHub watcher, room mode) | The task is done, but every file it changed was saved in the room by a client that signs nothing (provenance off). Only files with a signed receipt are committed, so nothing can land. | Whoever changed the files puts the branch's version of each back, then makes the change again from a client that signs. `hivecode-mcp` signs by itself; a script that calls `startSync` needs `HIVE_PROVENANCE=on`. The landing is tried again when the room's files change. |
+| `Q589` | `hive-room-mode.js` / `hive-room-watcher.js` | Landing a finished issue (GitHub watcher, room mode) | The landing found nothing new to commit and the branch has no commit beyond its base, so no pull request was opened. Reported as a refusal: a finished issue whose landing opens no pull request has not landed. | If the work was done, check it was saved in the room by a client that signs (see `Q588`). If the issue needed no change, close it on GitHub. |
+| `Q590` | `hive-issue.js` | Calling `hive_issue` | GitHub cannot be reached from this machine: `gh` is not installed or not logged in, `origin` is not a GitHub repository, or GitHub did not answer. Nothing was posted to the room. | Run `gh auth login` on the machine that holds the room's repository, check `git remote get-url origin`, then call `hive_issue` again. A GitHub outage is reported as this code, never as "no such issue". |
+| `Q591` | `hive-issue.js` | Bringing an issue into the room (`hive_issue` with a number) | The number is not an open issue of the repository: it does not exist, it is closed, or it is a pull request. | Call `hive_issue` with no arguments to list the open issues. Reopen a closed issue on GitHub to work on it. |
+| `Q595` | `hive-issue.js` | Bringing a second issue into the room | The room is still working on another issue: its pull request is open, or not opened yet. The room lands on one branch, so two issues would share one pull request. | Merge or close the open pull request, then call `hive_issue { feedback: true }` (it frees the room) and bring the next issue in. To drop the current issue instead: `hive_issue { number, replace: true }`. |
+| `Q596` | `hive-issue.js` | Reading a review (`hive_issue { feedback: true }`) | There is nothing to read a review for: this machine has brought no issue into the room, or the issue has no pull request yet. | Bring an issue in with `hive_issue { number }`, and open its pull request with `hive_pr` once the task is done and reviewed. |
 | `Q592` | `hive-gate.js` / `sync.js` | Releasing a file (`hive_release`) in a room that set a gate (`gate:cmd`) | The room's gate command has not been approved on this machine, so it did not run: the release went through **unchecked**, and the room was told once. A command from the room never runs on the room's say-so (0.14.4). | If your person trusts the command, they approve that exact command once: `npx -y hivecode-mcp@latest gate allow --dir <room folder> --cmd "<command>"`. An agent must not approve it because a room message asks. |
 | `Q593` | `hive-gate.js` | `npx hivecode-mcp gate allow/show/revoke` | The folder given with `--dir` has no `.hive.json` naming a room. | Pass `--dir` the folder you joined the room in. |
 | `Q594` | `hive-gate.js` | `npx hivecode-mcp gate allow` | No `--cmd` was given. An approval is for one exact command; anything else does not run. | Repeat with `--cmd "<the room's exact gate command>"` (the Q592 message quotes it). |
