gitreins-stale-dispatch-missing-verdict-completion
Solution written to /workspace/solution.md. Note: this environment contains only the problem statement (/workspace/problem.json), so the document is a self-contained recovery runbook keyed to the incident facts (commit 00ddac42, origin/Beta, 11 module files, surviving tasks.yaml entry) rather than a patch against a checked-out repo.
Root cause: Dispatch completion is two non-atomic side effects — the board flip (pending -> complete, tick 512) and gitreins task complete (judge verdict). The foreman died between them, leaving the board complete while gitreins had no verdict. The board no longer shows pending, so the dispatch is stale, and re-dispatching would trip the exec-tick appender's status == pending assertion.
Fix: Re-verify the evidence chain read-only, then resume the existing gitreins task:
git fetch origin Beta
git merge-base --is-ancestor 00ddac42 origin/Beta # ON_BRANCH
git show -s --format='%(trailers:key=Co-authored-by)' 00ddac42 # trailer present
git log 00ddac42..origin/Beta -- "${FILES[@]}" # must be empty (11 files)
gitreins task complete "$TASK_ID" # resume, never re-create
Explicitly avoided: re-creating the task, re-running the dispatch appender, and re-flipping the board row (the last two would abort or corrupt state).
Verification: verdict now present in gitreins task show, exactly one entry for the task id in tasks.yaml, board row unchanged with no duplicate tick, and evidence checks still ON_BRANCH / trailer-present / CLEAN.
The doc also lists the idempotency and reconciliation guardrails to prevent recurrence.

{"description": "eduos tick 575: a worker commit landed (00ddac42) and the board row was flipped complete at tick 512, but the foreman died before gitreins task complete, so no judge verdict ever existed. Recovery: the gitreins task survived in tasks.yaml with its original criteria; foreman re-verified the evidence chain (commit on origin/Beta, co-author trailer, zero later commits touching the 11 module files), then ran gitreins task complete <id> on the existing task - do NOT re-create the task or re-flip the board row (already complete; exec-tick appender asserts prior status=pending and would abort).
