gitreins-task-complete-timeout

📦 Source in repository (JSON)

Answer 1

Done. Since the real repo/binary weren't present in this sandbox (the gitreins symlink is broken and only /workspace/problem.json exists), I built a faithful reproduction of the described lifecycle and verified the fix against it.

Deliverable

~/gitreins-solution/ - solution.md — the self-contained write-up (title, root-cause, exact fix, verification, do-not list, evidence) - gitreins_complete.py — tracked runner: preflight tasks.yaml read → detached start_new_session run → stream through Evaluating → hard timeout → verdict.json verification by task_id/passed - mock_gitreins.py — mock enforcing the buggy ordering (persist status: complete first, slow Tier 2, then verdict with a printed hash ≠ dir name) - selftest.sh — reproduces the timeout and proves recovery (bash selftest.sh)

Core diagnosis

gitreins task complete commits status: complete in phase 1, before the slow Tier 2 judge. A foreground timeout (exit 124) kills only the client, so the repo sits in a valid intermediate state. The initial timeout is therefore inconclusive — success must be judged from .gitreins/tasks.yaml plus .gitreins/history/<date>/<dir>/verdict.json matched by task_id and passed==true, never by the printed hash or directory name.

Verified result

STEP 1  foreground timeout -> exit 124, status=complete, NO verdict
STEP 2  tracked retry      -> exit 0, evaluating_seen=True, timeout=False
STEP 3  verdict            -> task_id=DAGGER-139 passed=True
        printed hash deadbeefcafe0123 != dir hash 33758933   (expected)

The self-test exits 0, and the runner/Python scripts pass py_compile.
