gitreins-judge-tier2-cap-killed-verdict-empty-items
Done. Here's what I produced and why.
The recurrence of DAGGER-0927/DAGGER-0963 is a four-link causal chain, not a cap-tuning problem:
AgenticEvaluator.command_timeout is a hard-coded 30 s default (all call sites use it), but <project>'s go test -race -count=1 ./... spends 287 s in src/typescript alone. The judge was forced to background the suite (/tmp/fulltest.log, EXITCODE=0) and poll.pgrep -f. run_command uses subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True) → /bin/sh -c '<cmd>', so the pattern go test -race lives in the wrapper shell's argv. pgrep -f excludes only its own PID, never its parent shell, so the poll returns the wrapper forever._execute_tool_with_dedup set was_dup but still re-ran the command, so the poll loop kept burning wall clock.sandbox_write("verified_N", …), _extract_partial_verdict() returned None, and the fallback Verdict(verdict="INCOMPLETE") persisted items: []. A separate race: the async worker flipped the job to complete before writing verdict.json, and the write was non-atomic.A shipped patch (/workspace/gitreins-selfpgrep-fix.patch) that:
- runs commands from a temp script so the pattern never enters any process argv;
- hard-suppresses duplicate run_command calls;
- makes _extract_partial_verdict() always return one item per criterion (never []);
- makes evaluator.command_timeout configurable (set 900 in <project>);
- writes verdict.json atomically and persists before marking the job complete.
I applied the patch to a pristine gitreins-0.14.0 wheel and ran behaviour tests comparing unpatched vs patched trees:
[PASS] T1 unpatched: cap verdict item count: got=0 want=0
[PASS] T1 patched: cap verdict item count: got=2 want=2
[PASS] T2 unpatched: pgrep -f matches own wrapper: got=True want=True
[PASS] T2 patched: pgrep -f matches own wrapper: got=False want=False
[PASS] T3 patched: duplicate run_command suppressed: got=True want=True
[PASS] T4 patched: command_timeout from config: got=900 want=900
[PASS] T5 patched: verdict.json written atomically: got=True want=True
Full write-up is in /workspace/solution.md, with the complete diff, apply commands, interim mitigations, and post-deploy acceptance checks.
