{"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. Claude Code was steam. Gas Town is the steam engine. Beads is the train tracks.\n\nThe steam engine converts episodic combustion into continuous rotary motion.\nGas Town converts episodic Claude sessions into continuous autonomous work.","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:22.99128-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:22.99128-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-7918","depends_on_id":"gt-bcwn","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:30.86651-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}

Engineer identity/philosophy guidance\n3. Structural enforcement of failure handling (not just documentation)\n\nWhen tests fail during merge processing, the current guidance doesn't prevent 'disavowal' - noting a problem exists and proceeding without tracking it.\n\n## The Structural Solution\n\nCreate `mol-refinery-patrol` with **verification gates** that make disavowal structurally impossible:\n\n```markdown\n## Molecule: mol-refinery-patrol\n\n## Step: inbox-check\nCheck mail for MR submissions, escalations, messages.\nProcess any urgent items first.\n\n## Step: queue-scan\nFetch remote, identify polecat branches waiting.\nIf queue empty, skip to context-check.\nTrack branch list for this cycle.\nNeeds: inbox-check\n\n## Step: process-branch\nPick next branch.

Add RefineryPatrolMolecule() to builtin_molecules.go\n- Copy pattern from DeaconPatrolMolecule\n- Include all steps with proper `Needs:` dependencies\n- Emphasize handle-failures gate in description\n\n### 2. Update Refinery CLAUDE.md\nAdd sections:\n- **The Engineer Mindset** (identity/philosophy)\n- **The Scotty Test** (Would Scotty walk past this?)\n- **Patrol Molecule** reference (mol-refinery-patrol)\n- **Test Failure Protocol** (explicit decision tree)\n\n### 3. Create prompts/roles/refinery.md\n- Follow pattern of deacon.md\n- Include patrol execution loop diagram\n- Reference the molecule\n\n### 4. Consider mol-witness-patrol\n- Witness has detailed heartbeat protocol but no formal molecule\n- Similar pattern could apply\n\n## Why This Matters\n\nGUPP: 'If you have work on your hook, you have to run it.'\nThe patrol molecule puts failure handling ON THE HOOK as a mandatory step.\nYou can't skip handle-failures to get to merge-push.\nThe structure enforces good behavior.\n\n## Related\n- gt-7919: Fix failing beads tests (discovered during this session)\n- mol-deacon-patrol (existing pattern to follow)\n- docs/molecular-chemistry.md (chemistry concepts)\n- docs/wisp-architecture.md (wisp vs mol decision)","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"feature","created_at":"2025-12-22T13:01:48.588945-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-22T13:20:37.565029-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-22T13:13:36.329669-08:00"}
