# [XS] Turn Spotlight off in this repository's macOS CI jobs

## Goal

Every macOS job in this repository's workflows runs `sudo mdutil -a -i off`
as its first step, so Spotlight's first full index of the fresh VM no
longer competes with the job.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [XS], m0, from
[moq-dev/quest#342](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/342)'s suggested
follow-ups.

- #342's diagnostic run held `macos-14`'s load at about 4× its 3 CPUs for
the whole sample while Spotlight indexed, dropping below 1 within minutes
once it was off. The gate already admits a lone command on such a host,
so this is about job time, not admission.
- The jobs: Check's `lifecycle` on `macos-14`
(`.github/workflows/check.yml`), Release's `macos` jobs
(`release.yml`), and Install check's macOS jobs (`install-check.yml`).
Compare a job's time before and after.

# [S] The fixer's container trusts public TLS certificates

## Goal

The land fixer's nspawn container validates TLS like a normal host, so
workerd and the Cloudflare Worker tests run there. A fixer job on
moq-dev/quest builds and tests the Worker (`cd cloudflare && bun run test`)
without workerd's "TLS peer's certificate is not trusted; reason = unable to
get local issuer certificate". Check it by re-running the fixer on a PR that
touches the Worker, or by running the Worker tests by hand in a fixer
container.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [S], in this epic.

- The fixer handed back
[moq-dev/quest#331](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/331) for this
([handback](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/331#issuecomment-6563898322)):
its resolution of `test/land.test.ts` was right, but it could not run the
Worker suite, so it could not report the fix as tested.
- The fix lands in [kixelated/nixos](https://github.com/kixelated/nixos), in
`modules/quest-land.nix`, which builds the fixer container. A likely
cause is a missing CA bundle at the standard path, or
`SSL_CERT_FILE`/`NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE` not reaching the fixer's dev shell.
Confirm the cause before changing anything.
- Check the land check containers for the same gap, since they run the same
suites.

# [M] Runners publish the App's quest review check

## Goal

After a runner publishes a head, it runs `quest review` on that head with
the other vendor's account, outside the agent's sandbox, and kix writes the
result as the App's `quest review` check run on that commit. A head a
runner pushed then lands through kix's land gate without a human approval,
once that check passes.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [M], m0, from
[moq-dev/quest#351](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/351)'s suggested
follow-ups.

- #351's gate (`cloudflare/src/github/review.ts`) already counts a
completed, successful `quest review` check run by this App on the exact
head. Nothing writes one yet, and the author's `## Review` record never
counts on a commit an App committed, so every runner head needs a person's
approval today.
- The runner process, not the agent, runs the review, so the agent cannot
fake it. It sends the result to kix over a new runner protocol message.

Map the review result to the check conclusion.

quest review exits with code 0 when it reports findings. If the runner maps process completion to a successful App check, the land gate can accept a head that still has findings. The plan does not state this mapping. Add it so that a successful check requires an empty findings list.

Suggested plan addition 
 - The runner process, not the agent, runs the review, so the agent cannot
   fake it. It sends the result to kix over a new runner protocol message.
+- Map the review result to the check conclusion. Publish `success` only
+  when `findings` is empty. Publish a non-success conclusion when it is not.
+  `quest review` exits 0 when it reports findings, so do not map process

Update the review-result plan for the runner protocol message to specify that
the App check concludes successfully only when the `findings` list is empty;
findings must produce a non-success conclusion, regardless of `quest review`
exiting with code 0. Add a test covering the findings path and verifying it does
not publish a successful check.

review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

add the operator step to `cloudflare/GITHUB.md`.
- Choose which jobs run it, such as iterate and merge jobs after they
publish.

Enforce an independent reviewer account before accepting the App check.

The goal requires the other vendor's account, but the runner protocol carries only an opaque account ID. It does not carry or validate the agent and reviewer vendors. quest review also accepts an explicit reviewer harness without comparing it to the agent account. Define the binding and reject same-vendor or unavailable-reviewer runs before publishing a successful check.

# [XS] A post-squash tree mismatch comments on the merged PR

## Goal

When GitHub's squash of a landed PR has a different tree from the one the
gate tested, `quest land serve` posts a CRITICAL comment on that merged PR,
naming the squash commit, both trees, and what happened to the rest of the
batch. Today the mismatch reaches only the host's log and warning line, so
nobody reading the PR learns that `main` holds an untested tree.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [XS], m0.

- Raised as a follow-up in
[moq-dev/quest#321](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/321), which made
a post-squash `tree_mismatch` keep the PR merged and the rest of the batch
queued. The detail is built in `src/cli/land-serve.ts` (`CRITICAL: GitHub
squash #N at <sha> has tree ...`), then only logged and warned.
- Post it through the daemon's existing comment path, with its marker and
deduplication, so a restarted daemon doesn't post it twice.
- Extend the post-squash tree-mismatch test in `test/land.test.ts` to expect
the comment.

# [S] Keep local merges and the merge driver current

## Goal

A local merge of the base into a quest branch needs no hand edits for
links to quests the base finished: a command, such as `quest check --fix`,
drops those list links as `quest land` does. Clones whose
`merge.quest.driver` an older quest version registered get the current
driver, while a custom driver stays untouched. The dev shell's
`quest-pinned` flake input stays current, so its merge driver has the
latest fixes.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [S], m0.

- Finished links:
[moq-dev/quest#353](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/353) makes
`quest land` drop `Required`, `Related`, and `Closes` links to quests
the base deleted since the PR's merge base, using core `remove()`. Apply
the same edit in a checkout after merging the base, for example with
`quest check --fix` or `quest resolve --finish <merge-head>`, and point
the guide's merge line at it. Links in prose stay for a person to fix.
- Driver upgrades: `heal` in `src/cli/setup.ts` sets
`merge.quest.driver` only when none is configured, so clones keep the
driver an older quest wrote and miss
[moq-dev/quest#344](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/344)'s fallback
warning. Recognize earlier quest-generated driver strings and replace them
with the current `DRIVER`.
- The pin: [moq-dev/quest#344](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/344)
added the `quest-pinned` input, which only a manual `nix flake update
quest-pinned` bumps. Pick how it stays current, such as Dependabot's nix
updates, a step in the release checklist, or a recurring quest, and do it.

# [M] The runner's opencode adapter uses @opencode/sdk 2.x

## Goal

The runner's opencode adapter (`src/runner/opencode.ts`) drives opencode
2.x through `@opencode/sdk` 2.x, matching the opencode that the bumped
nixpkgs ships, so Dependabot's nixpkgs bump
[moq-dev/quest#281](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/281) can land.
The flake's `opencode-sdk` check passes, and the runner's opencode tests
pass against the new SDK.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [M], m0.

- nixpkgs now ships opencode 2.0.32. `package.json` pins
`@opencode-ai/sdk` 1.19.0, and `flake.nix`'s `opencode-sdk` check fails
unless that pin equals `pkgs.opencode.version`, so #281 cannot land
alone. Move to the renamed `@opencode/sdk` at the version nixpkgs ships,
adapt the adapter to its 2.x API, and point the flake's check at the new
package name.
- Land the nixpkgs bump in the same PR, or merge #281 into it.

This plan allows the nixpkgs bump to land in the same PR as the SDK migration. Track that pin bump as its own quest and make this quest depend on it instead.

# [S] quest review routes through a gateway or cloud provider

## Goal

`quest review` works when the reviewer CLI reaches its model through a
gateway such as CLIProxyAPI, or through a cloud provider. The reviewer
keeps `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` with its token, `ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS`,
Claude Code's Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry switches, and Codex's
`CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN` and `CODEX_CA_CERTIFICATE`, instead of having them
stripped and being reported as logged out. Variables that would change the
reviewer's plugins, permissions, or configuration are still stripped.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [S], m0: pass these through instead of blocking them.

- [moq-dev/quest#339](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/339) lets a
reviewer keep the credential its own CLI reads from the environment, and
passes `CODEX_API_KEY` when `codex login status` fails. It still strips the
variables that send requests to a gateway or another provider, and blocks
credentials while one is set, as the review-login quest's 2026-10-30
decision asked. That decision kept stripping variables that redirect
billing. This one supersedes it for the gateway and provider variables in
the Goal, because the maintainer routes reviews through them on purpose.
- Reuse the gateway and cloud-routing tests from closed
[moq-dev/quest#316](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/316), whose
branch `fix/review-provider-environment`
([79fb7c4](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/commit/79fb7c4cd45976184c5adc7adc286283b206231c))
is still on GitHub.
- Keep the managed agents' (`quest agent`) account isolation as it is. If a
credential is still stripped on purpose, the error names the variable
instead of saying "not logged in".

Scope provider passthrough to quest review.

quest review and managed agents share STRIPPED. If these provider variables are removed from that shared filter, launchEnvironment() also passes them to quest agent alongside its selected key. That breaks the plan's requirement to preserve managed-agent account isolation.

Use a review-only filter, keep STRIPPED unchanged for launchEnvironment(), and test allowed and denied variables on both paths.

Introduce a review-only environment filter for `quest review` so its
provider-variable passthrough does not change the shared `STRIPPED` behavior
used by `launchEnvironment()` for managed agents. Preserve managed-agent account
isolation, and add tests verifying allowed and denied variables on both review
and managed-agent paths.

# [S] quest review covers only the branch's own change, on any checkout

## Goal

`quest review` reviews the change between the base's merge base and `HEAD`
(`origin/main...HEAD`) with both reviewers. A branch that is behind its
base gets no findings on the base's newer code, which reads as reverted in a
two-dot diff. It also reviews a detached `HEAD`, since a merge session
can't check out a branch another worktree already holds.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-01 (user, /quest-plan of the follow-ups from the
2026-11-01 `/quest-complete` sessions): ✅ plan it, [S], m0.

- In [moq-dev/quest#337](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/337), round 1
reported two findings on code that main had gained after the branch's
merge base, which the branch did not touch. Claude's turn already asks for
`<base>...HEAD` (`src/cli/review.ts`), but Codex's `codex exec review
--base <base>` reviewed main's newer code. Give each reviewer the merge
base itself, or whatever form makes both review only the branch's change,
and test it with a branch behind its base.
- [moq-dev/quest#348](https://github.com/moq-dev/quest/pull/348)'s merge
fixes were reviewed from a differently named local branch, because the PR's
branch was checked out in another worktree. `review()` refuses a detached
`HEAD` ("check out the branch to review") and keys the session state by
the branch name. Accept a detached `HEAD`, and key its session so that
later rounds on the same work resume it, for example by the PR or by a
name passed on the command line.

Specify the detached-session identity.

The plan lists a PR or a command-line name, but does not define the required input, precedence, or behavior when neither is available. A branch-derived key resumes only when worktrees use the same branch name; it does not identify a detached checkout or a differently named local branch. Define a stable repository-scoped key and test two rounds from detached worktrees without session collisions.
