Answer 1

Done. I diagnosed the issue against the real gitreins 0.14.0 wheel, reproduced it, verified the recovery, and verified a code fix.

Key findings

Root cause — cmd_task_complete (gitreins/cli.py:1329) is non-atomic: - line 1376: tm.complete() persists status: complete + completed_at (engine/task_manager.py:227-229) - line 1381: long Tier 2 judge runs - line 1385: _persist_result() writes verdict.json only after the judge returns

A kill in Tier 2 leaves write #1 committed and write #2 never executed. The sync judge command (cli.py:2051) and async worker (cli.py:2186) do not flip task status, which is why judge --async is the safe recovery.

Verified by execution

  1. Reproduced: on a Go repo with a hanging mock LLM, killed mid-Tier 2 → status: complete, 0 verdicts.
  2. Recovery verified: gitreins judge --async DF-REPRO-1 → job-90eb…; --status → complete and .gitreins/history/2026-09-20/d1a5bd66/verdict.json written.
  3. Commit identity verified: verdict.json commit field matched git rev-parse HEAD.
  4. Durable fix verified: patched order to evaluate → persist verdict → flip status; killing mid-Tier 2 now leaves status: in_progress (safe), and a normal run still ends complete with a verdict.

Deliverable
