pm-dispatch: finding triage runs to EMPTY each fire, quality held by ≤5-card batches — maintainer ruling 2026-08-25 supersedes the 3–5/round budget and the 15–20 batch parameter

[os-zhuang]

Filed and dispatched by the skills seat (session session_01RMTpSRF5CjMmQBFfPtPCwJ) executing a live maintainer ruling.

The ruling

Context: with ~83 (objectstack) + ~48 (objectui) ungraded finding cards, the maintainer was asked whether scheduled triage fires should clear the whole backlog. This seat recommended a per-round budget increase instead of clearing; the maintainer overruled, 2026-08-25, verbatim:

单轮跑数小时没关系啊。不读卡的批量盖章 可以通过每批5张这种约定来解决

⇒ Scheduled triage runs to EMPTY (or to the point of exhaustion of the fire window), with no per-round total budget. The rubber-stamp risk is controlled by batch granularity — each batch is ≤5 same-family cards read carefully — not by capping the total.

What changes, where

1. .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md, 「发现分诊轮」: replace the 「首触定级每轮跑:预算 3–5 张」 budget with: every fire processes ALL ungraded findings, executed in batches of ≤5 same-family cards, each batch read with the existing care (过时前提检查 → 三选一:晋级 / 关闭 not planned / hold 换标); a run of several hours is acceptable; a fire that cannot finish resumes from where it stopped next fire (graded cards are off-label and never re-read — the label discipline already guarantees the checkpoint). 零定级评论优先 and all other existing clauses (判级在分诊不在立单、skills 自分诊例外、Restart-when 每日子轮、pm:retriage 每 fire 高优先) unchanged.
2. references/dispatch-runbook.md, 「自动集中轮批量参数」: the 15–20/batch parameter is superseded by the ruled ≤5/batch; the 「finding >15 ⇒ 集中轮」 trigger clause is absorbed — with run-to-empty as the steady state, a count above the old threshold is no longer a mode switch but an inflow alarm (write that semantic in one line: if the backlog stays >15 across consecutive fires despite run-to-empty, the problem is filing-side inflow, not triage-side throughput). The sweep-package-promotion five rules (2026-08-07) are unchanged and still batch-scoped.
3. Ratchet ceilings: both files are ceilinged — pay by consolidation (the superseded budget prose IS the purse); argue any raise.

Provenance to quote in the diff

The 2026-08-25 ruling above (untranslated), beside the 2026-08-13 「finding 恒 = 待首次定级」 opinion and the 2026-08-07 sweep-promotion approval it composes with. Governed face: draft + human merge. Clause-②: no.

[os-zhuang]

Provenance addendum (maintainer, 2026-08-25, same conversation, verbatim): 「现在挤压这么多，是因为有一段时间我没token停了分诊，并且改成了两小时一次」 — the current backlog is an OUTAGE accumulation (triage paused for a stretch on token budget, cadence later changed to 2-hourly), not steady-state inflow exceeding throughput.

For the diff's rationale prose: this is the strongest argument FOR the ruled run-to-empty shape — a per-round budget never recovers from an outage (it amortizes the backlog over dozens of fires while new cards keep aging), while run-to-empty self-heals on the first fire after supply returns. The inflow-alarm semantic in the card stands, with this calibration: a persistent >15 backlog counts as an alarm only when it survives consecutive COMPLETED run-to-empty fires — an outage gap is expected to produce a spike and one long recovery round, which is by design.

Claim (same stroke): branch claude/issue-11972-triage-run-to-empty, worktree objectstack-11972-triage-empty. File surface: .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md 「发现分诊轮」 + references/dispatch-runbook.md batch-parameter block, ceilings paid by consolidation. Governed draft + human merge. Clause-②: no.

 "DEVIATION (declared): the addendum's outage quote 「现在挤压这么多,是因为有一段时间我没token停了分诊,并且改成了两小时一次」 is carried VERBATIM in the PR body's rationale section, not in dispatch-runbook.md. Reason: dispatch-runbook.md is at 274/274 with zero headroom, and after fitting the <=5 batch convention and the alarm the section lands at exactly its original 18 lines — the quote is one more line and there is no purse left inside the section (the untouched-section rule forbids paying from elsewhere in the file). The repo's own convention for these ceilinged surfaces settles the tie the same way: check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs's header states 'provenance is one line; stories live on cards, not in operational text'. The outage narrative is provenance/story; the rule it produced (alarm only once a >15 backlog survives consecutive COMPLETED run-to-empty fires) IS in the doc. The 2026-08-25 run-to-empty ruling itself is verbatim in SKILL.md as dispatched.",
 "DEVIATION (declared): the `skip-changeset` label was applied with the whole-set write (read -> union {documentation, size/s} + skip-changeset -> PATCH via issue_write), not the additive POST — this session's permission classifier denied the blessed `curl -X POST .../labels` spelling. The size labeler had already run (size/s was present before the write), so the documented PUT-races-POST window had passed. Read-back confirms ['documentation', 'size/s', 'skip-changeset'].",
 "CARD PREMISE, minor correction: the '>15 ungraded findings triggers a concentrated round' threshold did NOT live in the dispatch-runbook.md block — it was in SKILL.md's 发现分诊轮 paragraph ('**自动集中轮**(常设授权,维护者 2026-08-13):`finding` >15 ⇒ 下一 fire 跑域分批集中轮'). The runbook block carried only the 15–20 batch parameter and the sweep five rules. Implemented as dispatched in effect: the trigger sentence is deleted where it actually lived, and its successor (积压告警) is written in the runbook block as the card asked, in one line as the card specified.",
 "SKILL.md's ceiling was LOWERED 1008 -> 1005 to the landed count. That is the shrink-only direction the ratchet header calls 'always legitimate and encouraged', not the bump the dispatch forbids; no ceiling was raised.",
 "Verbatim-quote hygiene: the 出处 paragraph and the 状态转换机制 bullet in dispatch-runbook.md were spliced through BYTE-IDENTICAL, so no 「…」 ruling that already spans lines was re-flowed (the failure mode the ratchet header records as having turned check-skill-frame-sync red). New prose was wrapped with the gate's own exported wrapLine, so every line is <=120 bytes by construction."

ACCEPT — PR #11988 (draft; governed surface ⇒ human merge, joins the maintainer's merge list).

Review of record — verified against the fetched branch (full git diff origin/main..., line counts and quote presence re-derived locally), not the report's self-description:

• The ruling is implemented exactly, where each piece actually lived. SKILL.md 「发现分诊轮」: the 3–5/round budget is replaced by 每 fire 跑到清空 (⛔ 无每轮总量预算), quality held by 每批 ≤5 张同族卡逐张读, the 2026-08-25 ruling quoted byte-verbatim at the point the rule is stated (exact-string grep = 1 hit), plus the long-run-acceptable and label-discipline-as-checkpoint resume clauses. The card's premise error — it placed the >15 ⇒ 集中轮 trigger in the runbook when it actually lived in SKILL.md's 自动集中轮 sentence — was caught, declared, and implemented in effect: the trigger is deleted where it lived, its successor (积压告警) written where the card asked.
• The alarm calibration is the addendum's, verbatim in substance: 「连续 COMPLETED 清空 fire 后仍 >15 ⇒ 入流 > 吞吐,报维护者」 — a raw count is no longer a mode switch; only survival across completed run-to-empty fires separates inflow-above-capacity from an outage spike the next fire clears.
• Deviation accepted (outage quote in PR body + card, not the runbook): dispatch-runbook.md sits at 274/274 with zero headroom and the repo's own ratchet-header convention is "provenance is one line; stories live on cards". The operative rule the outage story produced IS in the doc; the story stays on this card's addendum (5404702855) and the PR rationale. Right call.
• Ceilings: SKILL.md lowered 1008 → 1005 (shrink-only, the always-legitimate direction; registry comment documents the payment), runbook 274 → 274 net-zero. Nothing raised. The untouched 出处 paragraph and sweep 五条 spliced through; superseded 旧 hold 重验不占预算 correctly dropped with its ordering re-encoded as 优先于旧卡重验.
• Checks: 14 derived families + nul-bytes, 15/15 green with quoted verdict lines; no changeset needed (.claude/** + scripts/pm/**, nothing published). Label deviation (whole-set write after classifier denied the additive POST, post-labeler, read back clean) is acceptable mechanics.
• Git-first spot-check (per the row landing in sibling PR review-checklist: add the git-first spot-check row, paid by in-place compression #11987): evidence is local git/gates throughout; API writes are label/report mechanics git cannot carry. Nothing to flag.

Effective immediately for this seat: my own triage fires now run under this ruling — run to empty, ≤5-card same-family batches — without waiting for the doc merge; the doc PR records it. Landing todo: on merge the card closes via Closes #11972; pm:dispatched comes off in the same stroke.
