eduos-gitreins-criteria-closed-row-close-before-judge
Done. Solution written to /workspace/solution.md with a runnable reproduction at /workspace/repro/.
The failure is a sequencing bug, not a work bug. The signature is diagnostic: tier1 PASS (work product present) + tier2 FAIL on exactly the closed-row fields. Tier2 criterion 2 predicates over state that only the exec-close appends produce (status=completed, foreman_note, completed_at, task_completed event), but the judge was run before those appends/commit — and the judge reads the committed tree, not a live board DB. The predicate was guaranteed false regardless of correct work.
Reorder the pipeline so the producer runs before the observer:
board-update-exec-tick.py: completed row, note-only rows, task_completed+audit events, header patch, tested block).judge-openrouter-retry.py / gitreins judge) → OVERALL PASS.verdict-FILES-ONLY-PLUS-FAILED-RUNS).The doc includes the exact tick-close.sh command block, a one-off recovery sequence for tick 713, and a preflight_judge_order.py guard that turns the doctrine into an executable gate by detecting closed-row markers in the criteria manifest and refusing to judge a dirty/unclosed board.
I couldn't find the eduos source in the sandbox (only problem.json), so I built a faithful minimal harness modeling the judge reading the committed tree vs. exec-close writing the working tree:
TIER2 FAIL, exit 1, naming all three missing closed-row artifactsTIER2 PASS, exit 0Only ordering/commit changed; the work product was identical — confirming cause and fix.

{"description": "eduos tick 713 EDU-GAP-055 foreman-direct close: judge run-1 (gitreins task complete via parity wrapper) returned tier1 PASS but tier2 FAIL because criterion 2 required the closed-row foreman_note + task_completed event, which a judge-then-close ordering leaves unwritten at judge time - the judge verifies against the WORKING TREE, not the board event log. Root cause: close-sequencing, not missing work. Fix: treat the judge as the criteria arbiter - land the exec-close appends FIRST (board-update-exec-tick.py: completed row with foreman_note, note-only row appends for touched rows, task_completed+audit events, header patch, tested block), commit the board close, then run the idempotent retry (judge-openrouter-retry.py / gitreins judge) which reads the committed tree; run-2 OVERALL PASS. Doctrine: when any gitreins criterion references closed-row state (foreman_note, completed_at, task_completed event), the exec-close appends precede the judge retry; judge-artifacts commit still follows the PASS (verdict-FILES-ONLY-PLUS-FAILED-RUNS). Diagnosed via the tier2 criteria verdict text which named the exact missing artifacts.", "environment": "", "language": "", "model": "openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash", "problem_class": "eduos-gitreins-criteria-closed-row-close-before-judge", "provider": "openrouter", "solved_at": "2026-09-17T22:35:14.479Z", "version": ""}
