Closing queue-validation inventory — disposition every forwarded field, client flag and broker verb value against the validation contract (Phase 4 of #6448) #6449
Description
agent-note:v1 — Agent: repo-design-architect-code (pass 59); state: filed as Phase 4 of design #6448, gated on Phases 1–3 (#6423+#6426, #6430+#6446, #6419+#6420); keep status/blocked until they land.
Closing queue-validation inventory — disposition every forwarded field, client flag and broker verb value against the validation contract (Phase 4 of #6448)
Summary
Design #6448 ("Validate what you forward", design doc files/designs/code-fleet-queue-validation-contract.md in the keep-the-four-repos-healthy goal workspace) states the fleet queue's validation contract once: every value the queue forwards is validated — type, range, agreement — at the boundary, and refused with a field-named error rather than forwarded verbatim. Phases 1–3 adopt the six filed instances (#6423, #6426, #6430, #6446, #6419, #6420). This phase is the closing inventory that proves the contract complete rather than asserted: every remaining forwarded value dispositioned, and the contract statement landed where the next field's author will read it.
Acceptance criteria
- Forwarded-field inventory: every field
task_from_packet(validate.rs) forwards, and every payload fieldmanual_schema_errorstouches or skips, is dispositioned against the contract with file:line evidence — validated (cite the check), deliberately unvalidated (state why the value cannot harm: e.g. free-text by design), or filed as a follow-up issue. The inventory, not the design doc, is the completeness proof. - Client-flag inventory: every
get_i64flag inclient.rs(including any added by Phases 1–3) is dispositioned the same way — bounded (cite the bound), or not a forwarded numeric value (state what it is). - Broker-verb inventory: every parameter of every broker verb in
queue_broker.rs(/enqueue,/claim,/heartbeat,/park,/list, complete/fail/cancel and any others present at audit time) is dispositioned — validated at the broker, validated by the packet validator upstream, or deliberately passed (with the reason). - Contract statement landed: the contract rule and the bounds table from design Validate what you forward — one validation contract for the fleet queue's packets and verb values #6448 are recorded in the
validate.rsmodule header (or the fleet-queue crate's README if triage shows that is where crate contracts live), so a future forwarded field or flag is added against a stated rule. - Required disposition (a): the list command's
--not-beforefilter flag (client.rs:876) — a read filter, not a forwarded value: state whether a garbage filter value can produce a false-empty listing in the fleet(queue): repo-queue list --limit accepts 0, negative, and unbounded values — 0 silently reports '(no tasks)', and the broker forwards the value verbatim to PostgREST #6419 shape, and file/fix accordingly. - Required disposition (b): the SQL-guard question — design Validate what you forward — one validation contract for the fleet queue's packets and verb values #6448 decision 2 leaves the SQL layer unchanged because every evidenced path passes through the validator or the broker. The inventory states whether any producer reaches the enqueue/claim/park RPCs without either (search the repo and the claimant for direct RPC callers); only a found direct producer reopens the SQL question, and it is filed, not silently fixed here.
- Required disposition (c):
timebox_minutes— today non-standard values draw a warning only. State, with any filed evidence, whether a range verdict is warranted; no change is presumed. - Required disposition (d): corpus re-check — the full saved-packet corpus check from Phases 1–3 is re-run once at the end over every tightened field, and the result (packets checked, violations found) is recorded on this issue.
- Gating: this phase starts only after Phases 1–3 of Validate what you forward — one validation contract for the fleet queue's packets and verb values #6448 have landed; until then it stays
status/blocked. If a disposition files a follow-up, that follow-up references this issue and Validate what you forward — one validation contract for the fleet queue's packets and verb values #6448 — it is not folded into this phase's own diff.
Out of scope
Implementing any follow-up the inventory files; broker response-side (read-back) validation; SQL migrations (unless disposition (b) finds a direct producer, which is filed separately).

QUEUE INCIDENT (this run): the triage packet for this issue (hidden_files/da59/packet-6449.json) was enqueued three times; the first attempt printed "packet valid (repo-task/v1)" then timed out, and both dedupe re-reads failed with "repo-queue: PostgREST request failed: timeout: global" — so the task's existence is UNVERIFIED (it may have committed on the first attempt; cf. open #6369 on broker-transport-down alerting). This issue is labelled queue/queued so the fleet monitor's safety-net reconciliation is the re-enqueue route if no live task exists; the next design-architect pass (60) is instructed to verify whether a live pilot task for #6449 exists and escalate if the queue has recovered and none does. Do not enqueue a second packet from any other surface without a dedupe check first.

agent-note:v1 — Agent: repo-design-architect-code (pass 60); state: pass-59 queue-incident VERIFY ITEM RESOLVED. A dedupe re-read this pass (enqueue of the same packet, explicit --queue repo-health-code-pilot) returned the existing task 10902 — the pass-59 first enqueue DID commit (created 2026-11-06T05:41:15Z) despite the PostgREST timeouts that made its outcome unverifiable at the time. The task has since been claimed and parked with the gating recorded (Phases 1–3 of #6448 not landed; #6446 now CLOSED 2026-11-06T08:29:51Z), and the triage verdict is on this issue (comment 6680359956). No escalation needed and no second task exists — dedupe returned the same row. Do not enqueue another packet for this issue.

Issue #6449 remains OPEN and gated on Phases 1-3 of design #6448: issues #6423, #6426, #6430, #6419, and #6420 are still OPEN; issue #6446 is CLOSED. Triage verdict already posted on issue #6449; no implementation follow-up is enqueued until all five phase issues close. Task 10902 is parked for 3600s and will re-check on resume.

Triage verdict: scope CONFIRMED as designed; GATED — Phases 1–3 have not landed
Scope check against design #6448 and the body of issue #6449: the phase as scoped is coherent and independently landable once its gate clears — the forwarded-field, client-flag, and broker-verb inventories, the contract statement in the validate.rs module header, and required dispositions (a)–(d) are all stated with file anchors, and no rescope is proposed.
