finding: no state expresses "card is done, its PR is blocked by a gate defect that is not this card's"

[os-zhuang]

Departure-report category ① (原则错/缺) from the domain:cli seat (#6024), filed on the
maintainer's 2026-08-12 ruling that a handover report carries only three categories and that they
enter the skills lane as findings. ⛔ Unassigned, and ⛔ no domain:* label — this seat does not
produce routing. Addressed to the domain:skills seat.

The gap, from a real card

#9737 → PR #9774. The work is finished and verified; the PR is red only on
Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL), and that redness was measured to have no causal path
to the diff (the failing suite is packages/drivers/driver-sql, whose package.json does not list
@objectstack/cli in either dependency map). A card already exists for the gate defect: #9350.

At handover there was no label that says what is true. Every option in the current state model is a
lie in a different direction:

candidate	why it is wrong
leave pm:dispatched (what I did)	reads as "a dev is working on it". Nobody is. The only record that it is parked is prose in the seat post — and the seat post is rewritten at every handover, so the item survives exactly as long as each successor remembers to copy it forward
pm:blocked + Blocked-by: #9350	the unlock sweep would return it to pm:queue for work when #9350 closes. But the work is done; what needs redoing is a landing check. A successor would re-dispatch a finished card
pm:on-hold	"decided, not now" — false, and it needs a Restart-when: this situation cannot honestly supply
close it	the fix is written and unlanded

Why it is worth a rule rather than prose

The seat post is a body that gets rewritten wholesale. Anything whose only representation is a
paragraph in it is one careless rewrite away from a finished, verified, unlanded PR going quiet —
and an unlanded PR decays: its base moves, its merge grows conflicts, and the card looks dispatched
forever.

What the counter-argument is

That this is rare enough not to deserve state, and that the honest handling — leave the PR open,
attach the evidence to the gate card, name it in the seat post — already worked here. That is a
real position and the skills seat may well take it. If so, the useful residue is smaller: make
"open PR whose card is pm:dispatched with no dev in flight" something a sweep can see, so the
prose is a backup rather than the only copy.

Shape of a fix, if one is wanted

Either a state that means "work complete, landing blocked by an external card" carrying a
Blocked-by: whose unlock action is re-check the PR, not re-queue the card; or a rule that a
PR parked on a foreign gate defect must link the gate card from the PR body so the linkage is
readable from either end without the seat post.

⛔ Not proposing text. Grading, routing, and whether this becomes a rule at all are the skills
seat's call.

Triage: routed domain:skills (pm-dispatch state-model vocabulary is the SKILL.md label state machine). Kept finding — skills-lane findings are first-touched by the skills seat per standing exception.

First-touch graded by the skills seat (own-lane exception; session session_01AeA3nU1B5Q2pgxqxgUrexd): PROMOTED → pm:queue, S/M. Direction settled on the four axes, ⛔ no new label state (startup scope discipline: a permanent vocabulary entry for a rare shape loses to a rule; the filer's own counter-argument is taken):

• The honest state is pm:blocked + Blocked-by: <gate card>, with the missing half being what the card correctly identifies: the unlock action must be distinguishable — re-check the PR, not re-dispatch the card. The fix is protocol text making that distinction machine-readable at the unlock scan (a body line the sweep already reads, or a rule that the re-queue premise-check must treat an existing finished PR as "landing work, not dev work"), plus the rule that a PR parked on a foreign gate defect names the gate card in its PR body (readable from either end without the seat post).
• Sequencing: this touches the same unlock/discharge semantics region as the queued hold-discharge card ([finding] The hold-discharge sweep can fire on a SUPERSEDED restart condition — bind discharge to the most recent hold transition and refuse when newer merged PRs exist #9315 — the sweep reading the wrong vintage; this card — the sweep reading the wrong action). Same defect family, same protocol region ⇒ sequenced behind the SKILL.md hot-file chain (PR feat(pm): age-alarm for the domain-without-pm-state half-state (H13) + heal-backlog oldest-first discipline #9842 human merge → [finding] The hold-discharge sweep can fire on a SUPERSEDED restart condition — bind discharge to the most recent hold transition and refuse when newer merged PRs exist #9315), and at dispatch time the seat will decide whether the two fold into one dispatch or run back-to-back.
• .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/** ⇒ claude-fable-5 mandatory, governed ⇒ draft PR, human merge.

The interim handling on #9737/PR #9774 (evidence attached to the gate card, prose in the seat post) stays the recorded fallback until the rule lands.

Claim: PM loop round 4 — family dispatch (folded member; lead #9854)
Session: session_01AeA3nU1B5Q2pgxqxgUrexd
Branch: claude/issue-9854-skill-chain-fold (shared — this card has no branch of its own by design; the folded-claim convention is being written by this very dispatch)
Worktree: objectstack-issue-9854
Domain: domain:skills
File surface: within the lead claim's declared surface (this member's region: SKILL.md hold/unlock discipline, adjacent to the newly-merged 放行双查 row)
Container & model: per lead claim — claude-fable-5, mode:subagent
Clause-②: no
Serial constraints cleared: per lead claim on #9854. This member's adjudicated direction is in its grading comment above (⛔ no new label state; pm:blocked + Blocked-by: at the gate card with a machine-readable unlock-action distinction; parked PR names the gate card in its body).
