 {"id":"bd-j4cr","title":"bd cook: waits_for field not preserved in cooked protos","description":"The `waits_for` field in formula steps is not preserved in the cooked proto.\n\n## Formula\n\n```yaml\n- id: aggregate\n  title: Aggregate arm results\n  needs: [survey-workers]\n  waits_for: all-children\n  description: |\n    This is a **fanout gate**...\n```\n\n## Expected\n\nThe cooked proto step should have metadata indicating it's a gate:\n- Label: `gate:all-children` or\n- Field in issue metadata indicating wait behavior\n\n## Actual\n\nThe `waits_for` field is silently ignored. Only the description mentions 'fanout gate'.\n\n## Impact\n\nThe execution engine cannot determine which steps are gates that need to wait\nfor dynamically-bonded children. This breaks the Christmas Ornament pattern\nwhere aggregate steps must wait for all polecat-arm wisps to complete.\n\n## Related\n\nbd-hr39: needs field not converted to step dependencies","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"bug","created_at":"2025-12-24T13:51:10.494565-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-24T13:59:09.932552-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-24T13:59:09.932552-08:00"}
