--- phase: quick plan: 260330-4ny verified: 2026-03-30T00:00:00Z status: passed score: 3/3 must-haves verified re_verification: false --- # Quick Task 260330-4ny: Revise Live Start and Revive Inline Poll — Verification Report **Task Goal:** Revise /live start and /live revive so that `$LIVE start` is a single background task (inline poll), Self runs psyche-download directly after, Psyche absorbs context silently without sending PSYCHE_CONTEXT. **Verified:** 2026-03-30 **Status:** passed **Re-verification:** No — initial verification --- ## Goal Achievement ### Observable Truths | # | Truth | Status | Evidence | |----|-------|--------|----------| | 1 | `$LIVE start ` run in background is the ONLY step needed to start both Psyche and Self listener | VERIFIED | `src/live/start.rs` line 228: `crate::owl::poll::run(id, "listen", false, true, false, None)` — blocking inline call after wrapper spawn. No POLL_CMD output anywhere in the function. | | 2 | Self immediately runs psyche-download after start, evaluates staleness, sends missing context via commune if needed | VERIFIED | `LIVE-SKILL.md` lines 67-84: "Step 2: Retrieve Psyche context" documents Self calling `$LIVE psyche-download ` immediately after the background start task, with explicit staleness evaluation and commune instructions. | | 3 | Psyche on first invocation absorbs saved context silently without sending PSYCHE_CONTEXT to Self | VERIFIED | `psyche.md` line 31: "Absorb any downloaded context silently. Do NOT send it to Self -- Self retrieves context independently via `$LIVE psyche-download`." Step 2 (Send context to Self) removed entirely. | **Score:** 3/3 truths verified --- ### Required Artifacts | Artifact | Provides | Status | Details | |----------|----------|--------|---------| | `src/live/start.rs` | `run()` calls `poll::run` inline after spawning wrapper, no POLL_CMD output | VERIFIED | Line 228: `crate::owl::poll::run(id, "listen", false, true, false, None)`. No `println!("POLL_CMD=...")` anywhere in file. Spawn failure path (lines 221-224) logs error then falls through to poll::run — no exit(1). | | `src/owl/poll.rs` | `pub(crate)` visibility for cross-module access | VERIFIED | `src/owl/mod.rs` line 2: `pub(crate) mod poll;` confirmed. | | `psyche.md` | First invocation downloads context and absorbs silently, no Step 2 PSYCHE_CONTEXT delivery | VERIFIED | "First invocation" section has 2 steps: Step 1 (Download prior context + silent absorption note), Step 2 (Save initial context snapshot). No PSYCHE_CONTEXT delivery step exists. | | `LIVE-SKILL.md` | Updated start instructions: single background task, Self runs psyche-download after | VERIFIED | Lines 49-84: single Step 1 (background start) + Step 2 (psyche-download). Lines 207-209: revive section updated. Lines 250-253: psyche-download docs updated. All POLL_CMD and PSYCHE_CONTEXT references removed. | --- ### Key Link Verification | From | To | Via | Status | Details | |------|----|-----|--------|---------| | `src/live/start.rs` | `src/owl/poll.rs` | `crate::owl::poll::run()` | VERIFIED | Pattern `poll::run(` found at line 228 of start.rs. `pub(crate) mod poll` confirmed in mod.rs line 2. | | `LIVE-SKILL.md` | `psyche.md` | Aligned instructions: no PSYCHE_CONTEXT message flow | VERIFIED | Both files consistently describe Self-pull model: LIVE-SKILL.md line 253 "There is no async context message from Psyche -- Self pulls context explicitly." psyche.md line 31 "Do NOT send it to Self -- Self retrieves context independently." | --- ### Data-Flow Trace (Level 4) Not applicable. This task modifies behavior/flow logic in Rust source and markdown instruction files, not data-rendering components. --- ### Behavioral Spot-Checks | Behavior | Command | Result | Status | |----------|---------|--------|--------| | Build succeeds with poll visibility change | `cargo build` | `Finished dev profile` (1 warning, unrelated dead_code) | PASS | | No POLL_CMD references in src/ or LIVE-SKILL.md | `grep -rn "POLL_CMD" src/ LIVE-SKILL.md` | No output | PASS | | No PSYCHE_CONTEXT references in psyche.md or LIVE-SKILL.md | `grep -n "PSYCHE_CONTEXT" psyche.md LIVE-SKILL.md` | No output | PASS | | Inline poll call present in start.rs | `grep -n "poll::run" src/live/start.rs` | Line 228 found | PASS | | pub(crate) mod poll confirmed | `grep -n "pub(crate) mod poll" src/owl/mod.rs` | Line 2 found | PASS | | Revive path calls start::run (which now blocks on poll) | `grep -n "super::start::run" src/live/stop.rs` | Line 229 found | PASS | --- ### Requirements Coverage No `requirements:` field declared in PLAN frontmatter (empty array). No orphaned requirements to check. --- ### Anti-Patterns Found | File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact | |------|------|---------|----------|--------| | `src/live/timed_pulse.rs` | 84 | `dead_code` warning on `remove_pulse` | Info | Pre-existing warning, unrelated to this task. Does not affect goal. | No blockers or warnings related to this task's changes. --- ### Human Verification Required None. All behavioral changes are verifiable programmatically: - Rust compilation confirms wiring (cross-module call compiles) - grep confirms removal of deprecated patterns (POLL_CMD, PSYCHE_CONTEXT) - File reads confirm correct instruction content in psyche.md and LIVE-SKILL.md --- ### Gaps Summary No gaps. All three observable truths are fully verified: 1. `$LIVE start` is now a single blocking call — it spawns the Psyche wrapper, then enters the Self poll loop inline via `crate::owl::poll::run`. No POLL_CMD output survives. 2. LIVE-SKILL.md documents Self calling `$LIVE psyche-download` immediately after the start background task, with explicit staleness evaluation guidance. 3. psyche.md first-invocation section has the silent absorption note and no PSYCHE_CONTEXT delivery step. The revive section and psyche-download docs in LIVE-SKILL.md are also consistent with the Self-pull model. --- _Verified: 2026-03-30_ _Verifier: Claude (gsd-verifier)_
