{"id":"gt-7918","title":"Patrols: Cyclic molecules for autonomous maintenance","description":"## Vision\n\nPatrols are **cyclic molecules** - workflow loops that give Gas Town its autonomous nervous system. While regular molecules are DAGs that terminate, patrols loop forever, performing maintenance tasks at varying cadences.\n\nThis is the \"steam engine\" of Gas Town: converting episodic Claude sessions into continuous autonomous operation.\n\n## Core Concepts\n\n### 1. Cyclic Molecules\n\nRegular molecule: A -\u003e B -\u003e C -\u003e done\nPatrol molecule: A -\u003e B -\u003e C --+\n ^ |\n +-------------+\n\nPatrols have a loop_to field specifying where to restart.\n\n### 2. Cooldown-Aware Steps (Atoms)\n\nSteps encode their own cadence. When patrol reaches a step:\n1. Check: now - last_run \u003e cooldown?\n2. If yes: execute, update last_run\n3. If no: skip (immediately close)\n\nThe patrol runner is simple - steps self-skip. Complexity distributed into atoms.\n\n### 3. The Beacon\n\nThe heartbeat that fires patrol triggers:\n- Internal ticker in Deacon (goroutine)\n- Or external cron firing gt deacon tick\n- Or mail-based triggers\n\nWithout beacon, nothing proactive happens.\n\n### 4. Session Reset as Patrol Step\n\nConnects to auto-handoff (gt-bcwn). Session reset is a patrol step, not a separate mechanism.\n\n### 5. Multi-Role Patrols\n\nEach supervisor has its own patrol:\n\n**Deacon patrol:** health-check (30s), session-gc (5m), beacon-tick (10s)\n**Witness patrol:** orphan-scan (10m), stuck-check (2m), molecule-progress (1m)\n**Refinery patrol:** queue-check (30s), pr-status (1m), merge-ready (30s)\n\n### 6. Cadence Tiers\n\n- Critical (10-30s): Health checks\n- Active (1-5m): Progress, nudges\n- Maintenance (10-30m): Orphans, GC\n- Periodic (1h+): Reports\n\n### 7. Best-Effort Scheduling\n\nNot real-time - more like cron. No hard deadlines. Catch-up, dont pile-up.\nPriority preemption (mail interrupts patrol). Graceful degradation under load.\n\n## Open Questions\n\n1. State persistence: Beads (self-describing) or file (faster)?\n2. Interruption: How does urgent mail preempt patrol?\n3. Error recovery: Backoff? Escalate? Circuit breaker?\n4. Coordination: Can patrols send mail to trigger other patrols?\n\n## Related\n\n- gt-bcwn: Auto-handoff (session reset is a patrol step)\n- Molecule system (patrols extend molecules with loops)\n- Deacon lifecycle management\n\n## Metaphor\n\nClaude was fire.

Subprocess exits BEFORE flush completes\n5. `gt sling` then calls `syncBeads()` which runs `bd sync`\n6. `bd sync` imports from JSONL which DOESN'T have pinned field\n7. Import overwrites SQLite, resetting `pinned=0`\n\nThe assignee field IS set correctly because it's also in the database before sync, but sync imports the JSONL which doesn't have the pinned field (due to omitempty on false value).\n\n## Reproduction\n\n```bash\n# Create issue\nbd create \"test\" --json\n\n# Sling it\ngt sling \u003cid\u003e gastown/crew/max\n\n# Check - pinned is null!\nbd show \u003cid\u003e --json | jq '.[0].pinned'\n```\n\n## Fix Options\n\n1. **Make bd pin synchronous**: Force flush before subprocess exit\n2. **Skip sync after pin**: Don't call syncBeads after pinToHook\n3. **Use direct DB update in gt**: Call UpdateIssue directly instead of bd subprocess\n4. **Fix flush-on-exit**: Ensure PersistentPostRun waits for flush completion\n\n## Workaround\n\nThe handoff bead attachment (`AttachMolecule`) is the primary mechanism for tracking what's on an agent's hook. The pinned field is cosmetic for `bd hook` visibility.\n\n## Files\n\n- gastown: internal/cmd/sling.go (slingToCrew, pinToHook, syncBeads)\n- gastown: internal/beads/beads.go (Pin method)\n- beads: cmd/bd/pin.go (bd pin command)\n- beads: cmd/bd/flush_manager.go (async flush)","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"bug","created_at":"2025-12-23T04:41:12.668958-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-23T12:03:22.343937-08:00"}
