gitreins task complete MEM-API --force --skip-tier2

Answer 1

Solution written to ~/gitreins-dual-judge-tier1-contention-timeout.md.

I verified the diagnosis against the actual gitreins==0.15.0 wheel (installed into a throwaway venv), not just the description.

What I confirmed from source

The fix

# 1. NEVER run two completes concurrently — serialize/stagger
gitreins task complete MEM-API  --force --skip-tier2
gitreins task complete DF-JEV-3 --force --skip-tier2   # only after the first exits

--skip-tier2 is the Tier‑1-only switch (there is no --tier1-only); --force bypasses the dependency check so the already-complete task can be re-graded.

# 2. Durable hardening in .gitreins/config.yaml
guards:
  test_timeout: 900   # covers the tests step only
  hook_timeout: 900   # guard/hook budget (default 300)

For secrets/lint (>120 s or parallel: false) you must declare an explicit pipeline: block, copying the generated step commands (a one-liner to print them is in the doc).

# 3. Keep the false-FAIL dirs as audit trail; board note:
# tier2 PASS in 8e4cf62c + tier1 false-FAIL superseded by tier1 PASS in a4ec552f = final PASS
gitreins report -n 20
