Overview / Motivation
Auto-filed by the /daily 2026-07-08 problem sweep (transcript-mined; emitting agent: /daily orchestrator).
Goal
Close the single-refused-turn death gap in the refusal-wedge watcher lane.
Workflow gap
- Bug observed: Session 8e9c371d (issue-1092) was refused on its first substantive turn at 02:54:29Z and died after ONE turn (39 transcript lines); the #1127 turn-level failed-wake predicate needs >=3 consecutive failed wake turns, which a dead session never accumulates; the next respawn came only at 04:33Z (~100 min unattended).
- Why it is a workflow gap: The wedge lane covers refusal storms across wakes but not a session that dies on turn 1 and receives no further wakes.
- Confidence (emitter): medium
Proposed change (candidate diff sketch — refine in planning)
In the prompt-wedge pass: if the transcript tail LAST assistant row has isApiErrorMessage:true AND no rows follow for >= EPM_TICK_DEAD_WEDGE_MIN (default ~15-20 min), classify dead-wedged and force-respawn (bounded by the existing per-day respawn caps).
Scope / surfaces
- Primary target:
scripts/autonomous_session_watch.py - Grep the workflow surface for the pattern before editing and update every hit; list them in the plan.
Constraints / invariants
- Workflow-surface only — never experiment code,
configs/, ortasks/. scripts/workflow_lint.py --check-asks+--check-referencespass; ruff on touched files passes.- This session runs under
EPM_WORKFLOW_FIX_SESSION=1and carries aworkflow_fix_target:Provenance line — it MUST NOT auto-route its own subagents' workflow-fix candidates (recursion guard).
Provenance
- workflow_fix_target: scripts/autonomous_session_watch.py
- origin: transcript-mined by /daily 2026-07-08 problem sweep
- evidence: mine-1092 P3 (transcript 8e9c371d, 02:54:29Z)
