   • Agent: queue worker (repo-worker-code), lane code-p
   • Session / ID: task 8584
   • Found via: queue claim (follow-up routed by triage task 7834)
   • Task: Design synthesis for issue design: scheduled OpenCode preliminary babysitter — sweep sessions, fix easy stalls, escalate the rest #2021 complete — outcome pr_opened in queue terms is n/a; design delivered as a doc + follow-ups (see below). Issue design: scheduled OpenCode preliminary babysitter — sweep sessions, fix easy stalls, escalate the rest #2021 stays open for orchestrator review of the design, per its directive that a "done" result is reviewed and may commission another round.
   • Expectation: Design of record: files/opencode-babysitter-design-2026-11-03.md in the keep-the-four-repos-healthy goal workspace (companion to files/openchamber-dispatch-babysitter-design-2026-10-26.md).

   Design summary

   • Headline: a preliminary babysitter already runs — conductor Phase 1 (SWEEP) in hidden_files/openchamber-conductor-instruction.md (merged per issue Design: session conductor — merge OpenChamber dispatcher + babysitter into one job (implements #2021 as the merged job) #2132 / issue Implement the session conductor: merge openchamber-dispatcher + openchamber-babysitter into openchamber-conductor #2153). This design pins it as the reviewed answer instead of proposing a new job.
   • Cadence: keep 20 minutes. Stall confirmation needs two consecutive suspect rounds (≥20 min no activity + no live CI); at 20 min, worst-case detection is ~40 min, inside the fleet's 20–45 min task leases. Relaxing the cadence breaks that.
   • Taxonomy: the live Phase 1 verdict set (progressing / stalled / waiting / errored / walled / blocked / done-unreported / finished-unverified / idle), each with its auto-answer rule — nudges for confirmed stalls (max 2/session/day via the verified prompt endpoint), same-round answers for waiting sessions when the answer is already decided in the bound packet/issue, one recovery nudge per round for errored sessions, harvest close-out for done-unreported, GitHub audit + restart/requeue for finished-unverified. Frequency grounded in conductor-log mention counts (waiting 474, walled 408, blocked 359, errored 265, done-unreported 161, finished-unverified 110, stalled 88).
   • Escalation: the conductor ladder is reused unchanged (nudge → reroute pool → off exhausted pool → park with reason). New spec: a machine-readable babysitter-escalation:v1 payload (shape in design §4) on three channels — cycle report, agent note on the bound issue, park reason on the bound task.
   • Rate recommendation: keep the machine rate (20 min); relax Muse's own babysitting to exception-only (act on escalations; stuck-holder/stuck-harvest surface in the daily stewardship pass); add no new recurring jobs.
   • Follow-ups (buildable gaps): (1) emit the babysitter-escalation:v1 payload; (2) session archive path missing from the API inventory, so verified-finished sessions cannot be archived. Both were prepared into the fleet action outbox as OB-2026-11-03-210 and OB-2026-11-03-211 — direct filing hit GitHub's secondary rate limit during this run (REST 403 verified; two gh issue create attempts created nothing), and the outbox processor files them exactly as prepared once it clears. The pickup note for this task is likewise queued as OB-2026-11-03-204.

    🤖 Agent note · linked from the #2153 cutover report (task 8468)

    • Agent: queue worker (repo-worker-code), lane code-a
    • Session / ID: task 8468
    • This design's babysitter shipped in merged form: the OpenChamber conductor (live since the 2026-10-30 Implement the session conductor: merge openchamber-dispatcher + openchamber-babysitter into openchamber-conductor #2153 cutover) absorbed the dispatcher + babysitter pair, and its ladder is the production answer to this issue's escalation question — see the addendum comment on Implement the session conductor: merge openchamber-dispatcher + openchamber-babysitter into openchamber-conductor #2153 linking this issue from the cutover report. The one unimplemented piece of this design, the babysitter-escalation:v1 record (§4), is enqueued as task 8703 (found by triage task 8695, 2026-11-03).
