Build Log · September 30 – October 1, 2026
Three stuck canvas-1 requests, and what they exposed in the Owner Loop
Reconstructed from commits on 2026-10-23; no transcript. Sept 30 to early Oct 1. canvas-1 Fitness grew fast enough that three Actors collided, and untangling them found four Owner Loop defects, a false claim of mine, and a test suite that had not run to completion in weeks.
- Owner Loop
- Foreman
- canvas-1
- Reconstructed
- canvas-1 requests stuck at once (base_diverged, no terminal artifact, refused promotion)
- 3
- pre-existing test:os failures fixed; the && chain had hidden every test after the first failure
- 5
- restore-path tests that execute the real code, replacing a source-match test
- 14/14

Timeline
Sep 30 14:00
canvas-1 Fitness
Limitation-aware starter plan, equipment inventory, action-first view, optional workout log context
Sep 30 20:15
Three stuck requests
Two merged by hand (e2d97eb3, 50969801) after reading their code; receipt commits had reverted three merged features, restored
Sep 30 21:10
Owner Loop fixes
Restore the tree after deploy verification; re-pin the base at job start; Foreman detects a refused promotion nobody picked up
Oct 1 05:30
Review corrections
Serialize the dispatcher against itself; exact run correlation via run-name; real restore-failure tests; Strike captured
Oct 1 07:55
test:os green
Five pre-existing failures, exit codes captured directly
What shipped
experiments/canvas-1 Fitness: limitation-aware starter plan with discomfort back-off (543d1289), equipment inventory with weights snapped to owned dumbbells (Actor, merged 93ed5b1e), action-first view with dated skip/roll-forward (36a7be83), optional workout log context feeding recommendations (eb1efc42, merged 8a41f896)
54da4f90: restored three merged canvas-1 Fitness features that two retry-deferred-deploy receipt commits had reverted
273145df: promote-app.mjs verifyCommitTypechecks restores the working tree after checking out the candidate for verification (the cause of that partial ship)
5d9047ec: actor-spawn re-pins its execution base at job start (the confirmed cause of base_diverged), Council-reviewed before building
4d67bc10 + d664c0d3: the dispatcher is serialized against itself, and each dispatch carries an execution token echoed into run-name, so a run id is matched exactly or not at all
2a011e21: a manual clarify workflow for a request blocked with no terminal-result file
dbe69b05: Foreman detects a refused promotion that nothing has picked up
d6a1a429: restore-failure tests execute the real function body with injected failures; the run-name token round-trip proven against real GitHub with a disposable probe workflow
6e1ba452 + f25cb2ec: test:os green — mirror-drift tiebreak on slug, push gate allows branch deletions, two hook test copy-lists derived from real imports, transcript-dependent tests skip with a reason when the transcript has aged out
7d88194c: Strike — a foreman owns the outcome and the learning, not every repair
