Working against a stale mirror has cost us three different ways:
- mailu #6 was linked as the fix for two internet-facing Roundcube CVEs while
upstream had already merged AND released it (3.1.3+2024.06.57). The work was
done; only our mirror was behind. Reconciling closed the PR automatically.
- a stale mirror makes a survey report 'no upgrades available', so the recipe
silently drops out of the weekly run.
- reading the wrong branch: several coopcloud recipes keep a stale 'main' beside
the real default 'master'. gitea's main is 1.24.2-rootless while master has
1.27.1-rootless and the merged PRs, so reading main manufactures a false
'three releases behind, missing two CVSS-9.8 RCEs' finding.
The reconcile logic already existed inside open-recipe-pr.sh --reconcile-only and
already resolves the default branch itself. What was missing was a single obvious
entry point and a rule saying to run it. reconcile-upstream.sh takes recipes or
--all, and is idempotent — recipe work lives in branches, never on mirror main, so
force-syncing main discards nothing.
/ci-test-review and /cc-ci-tests-update had NO reconcile step at all; both now
require it. /cve-check, /recipe-upgrade and /upgrade-all already reconciled and now
point at the shared script.
/recipe-upgrade --with-tests, /ci-test-review and /cc-ci-tests-update all author
test changes, and all three had only 'never weaken a test' as guidance. That did
not stop the plausible failure: the fixture INSERTed rows into the app's database,
which was correct for v2 and silently wrong for v3, where a site must belong to a
team. Events were acked 202 and discarded; the recipe sat RED for six weeks.
The rule that would have prevented it — set state up through the app's own
interface, not its database — now lives in tests/STYLE.md in the cc-ci repo, and
each of the three paths is told to read it before editing a test.
Per operator: the skill should not just propose, it should CREATE the fix PR
(recipe repo or cc-ci repo) and VERIFY it green on its own CI server — but not
merge. It drives cc-ci like the loops do.
- SKILL.md: diagnose+classify (recipe vs CI-server) -> author the fix + open a
PR (recipe-create-pr for recipe PRs; Gitea API for cc-ci PRs, dedicated branch
in a separate clone, single-writer safe) -> VERIFY on cc-ci (full suite cold
against the PR head = the !testme dogfood path) -> report a verified,
ready-to-merge PR. Never merges; never weakens a test; flake != bug. General
bar = one cold green; repeated-green (REPEAT=3) only for a known-flaky recipe.
Adds coordination/single-writer guardrails (shared Swarm is stateful; tear
down deploys; never push main or touch the loops' clones).
- verify-pr.sh: deterministic recipe-PR gate — RECIPE + REF -> cold full suite
on cc-ci, green iff every repeat exits 0. CI-server-PR verification stays
bespoke (branch checkout + rebuild + regression sample) per SKILL.md.

The on-demand AI review layer is now an orchestration-repo skill built directly
by the orchestrator, NOT a loops phase in the cc-ci product repo:
- .claude/skills/ci-test-review/{SKILL.md,run-all-recipes.sh}: runs the real
cc-ci harness across all enrolled recipes (deterministic, AI-free execution),
then AI diagnoses each failure and classifies it as needing a recipe PR / a
CI-server PR / a stale-test update — or reports "ALL PASSED, recipes + tests
up to date". Proposes PRs; never decides pass/fail; never auto-merges.
- .gitignore: track .claude/skills/ (shareable) while still ignoring local
claude session state (locks, history) under .claude/.
- launch.sh: remove Phase 3r from PHASES_SPEC; loops sequence back to
1c 1b 1d 1e 2w 2pc 2 2b 3 4. Deleted plan-phase3r (superseded by the skill).
