Fixes#157 — Add "never close PR" constraint to spec, invariants, and tests.
Problem
PR #156 was closed autonomously by a worker agent. The dispatch spec forbade merging but not closing. Worker agents could reason themselves into calling PATCH /pulls/{id} with state=closed.
What This PR Does
1. docs/dev-loop-spec.md
Adds S9 to §6 Safety Invariants: "Zero close-PR API calls in dispatch script (state=closed does not appear)"
Documents Worker Absolute Constraints in §8 with all four NEVER rules
Adds Bug-157-regression test: static check that dispatch script contains no close-PR calls
✅ Already committed to workspace repo (companion commit)
Note on Worker Templates
All 7 worker templates already contain NEVER close a PR in their ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS section from a prior session. This PR makes the spec authoritative documentation of that constraint.
Test Results
All 37 bats tests pass (including new Bug-157-regression)
All 9 invariants pass (including new S9)
All 7 Go test packages pass
Checklist
S9 invariant added to dev-loop-spec.md §6
check-invariants.sh S9 passes on current dispatch script
dispatch.bats regression test added and passes
All existing bats tests still pass
No Go code changes (not needed)
Worker templates confirmed to have NEVER-close constraint
## Summary
Fixes #157 — Add "never close PR" constraint to spec, invariants, and tests.
## Problem
PR #156 was closed autonomously by a worker agent. The dispatch spec forbade merging but not closing. Worker agents could reason themselves into calling `PATCH /pulls/{id}` with `state=closed`.
## What This PR Does
### 1. `docs/dev-loop-spec.md`
- Adds **S9** to §6 Safety Invariants: "Zero close-PR API calls in dispatch script (`state=closed` does not appear)"
- Documents **Worker Absolute Constraints** in §8 with all four NEVER rules
- Adds §9 entry for Issue #157 explaining the fix
### 2. `~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/test/check-invariants.sh` (workspace repo)
- Adds S9 static check: grep dispatch script for `state=closed` or `PATCH.*pulls.*state`
- Analogous to S1 (no merge calls)
- ✅ Already committed to workspace repo (companion commit)
### 3. `~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/test/dispatch.bats` (workspace repo)
- Adds `Bug-157-regression` test: static check that dispatch script contains no close-PR calls
- ✅ Already committed to workspace repo (companion commit)
## Note on Worker Templates
All 7 worker templates already contain `NEVER close a PR` in their ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS section from a prior session. This PR makes the spec authoritative documentation of that constraint.
## Test Results
```
All 37 bats tests pass (including new Bug-157-regression)
All 9 invariants pass (including new S9)
All 7 Go test packages pass
```
## Checklist
- [x] S9 invariant added to dev-loop-spec.md §6
- [x] check-invariants.sh S9 passes on current dispatch script
- [x] dispatch.bats regression test added and passes
- [x] All existing bats tests still pass
- [x] No Go code changes (not needed)
- [x] Worker templates confirmed to have NEVER-close constraint

S9 is documented as checking 'the dispatch script', but no equivalent S10 (or extension of S8) exists for worker templates. S8 covers 'no merge calls in any worker template', but there is no corresponding invariant for 'no close calls in any worker template'. The new 'Worker Absolute Constraints' section explains the constraint is enforced 'by the template text itself (for workers)', meaning it relies on prose rather than a static check. This is a weaker guarantee than an invariant — a future template edit could silently drop the constraint. Consider whether S8's scope should be expanded, or a new S10 added, to statically verify worker templates contain no close-PR calls.

The claim 'All 7 worker templates already contain NEVER close a PR in their ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS section from a prior session' is in the PR description but not verifiable from the diff alone. The spec text says 'Every worker template begins with an ⛔ ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS section containing these rules' — if this is an invariant worth enforcing, the check-invariants.sh script could grep all worker templates to confirm this, similar to how S8 checks worker templates for merge calls.
Recommendation
APPROVE — Approve. The documentation changes are accurate, well-structured, and address the stated problem (Issue #157). CI passes. The two findings are improvements to consider in a follow-up: (1) extending static invariant checks to cover worker templates for the close-PR constraint (currently only the dispatch script is checked by S9), and (2) adding a grep-based invariant that validates all 7 worker templates actually contain the ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS text. Neither is a blocker for this PR.

Every worker template begins with an `⛔ ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS` section containing these rules:
- **NEVER close a PR.** Never call `PATCH /pulls/{id}` with `state=closed`. Closing a PR requires human action. "Duplicate", "superseded", or "already done" are never a worker's call.
- **NEVER merge a PR.** Never call the merge API. Merging requires human approval.

Documentation-only changes that strengthen safety constraints around merge/close behavior. No executable code modified and CI passed. No security risks introduced; the added invariant and constraints improve defense-in-depth.
Recommendation
APPROVE — The PR updates the spec to add a new invariant (S9) and explicit worker constraints forbidding PR closure, addressing the previously identified gap. As these are documentation changes with passing CI and they enhance safety without introducing security concerns, this can be safely merged.

Consider adding a symmetric invariant for worker templates (e.g., S10: No close-PR API calls in any worker template) to complement S8 (no merge in templates) and S9 (no close in dispatch). This would enforce the NEVER-close rule at the same static-check level as S8 rather than relying solely on template text.

The sentence "These constraints are enforced by S1, S8, and S9 in check-invariants.sh (for the dispatch script) and by the template text itself (for workers)" could be clarified: S1 and S9 apply to the dispatch script, while S8 applies to worker templates. Explicitly stating this mapping would avoid ambiguity.
Recommendation
APPROVE — The changes are well-scoped documentation updates that tighten safety guarantees by adding the S9 invariant and formally documenting absolute worker constraints. Everything reads clearly and aligns with the existing structure of the spec. CI is green, and there are no functional code changes. As a minor enhancement, consider adding a static invariant for "no close" in worker templates (similar to S8 for merges) to enforce the NEVER-close rule at the same level of rigor. Also, a small wording tweak could make the enforcement mapping (S1/S9 for dispatch, S8 for templates) explicit. Otherwise, this is good to merge.

Greps all worker template .md files for state=closed — must be absent (no close-PR calls)
Greps all worker template .md files for NEVER close a PR — must be present in each
This provides the same static guarantee as S8 (no merge in templates) for the close-PR constraint.
Fix 2: Update docs/dev-loop-spec.md
Add S10 to the Safety Invariants table (§6)
Update the enforcement sentence in §8 Worker Absolute Constraints to explicitly map: "S1/S9 cover the dispatch script; S8/S10 cover worker templates"
Reference S10 in Issue #157 section to note the complete enforcement story
Fix 3: Update regression test (dispatch.bats)
Add a test case for S10 (no close-PR in worker templates) analogous to existing S8/S9 test cases.
Scope
This PR is documentation + invariants. The code changes are: check-invariants.sh (add S10 check), docs/dev-loop-spec.md (add S10 to table + fix wording), and dispatch.bats (add S10 test). No behavior changes.

### Findings Review
All three bots approved this PR. No REQUEST_CHANGES. Findings are MINOR and NIT from Sonnet and GPT.
| # | Reviewer | Severity | Finding | Decision |
|---|----------|----------|---------|----------|
| 1 | Sonnet | MINOR | No static invariant for "no close-PR calls" in worker templates — S9 covers dispatch, but worker templates only rely on prose text | FIX: add S10 |
| 2 | GPT | MINOR | Same as above — add S10 symmetric to S8 (no merge in templates) | FIX: add S10 (same fix) |
| 3 | Sonnet | NIT | The claim about all 7 templates containing ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS should be grep-verified by check-invariants.sh, not prose | FIX: S10 implementation can also verify NEVER-close text present in each template |
| 4 | GPT | NIT | Wording in spec line 276 is ambiguous about which invariants cover which targets | FIX: reword sentence to explicitly map S1+S9 → dispatch, S8+S10 → worker templates |
### Fix 1: Add S10 to check-invariants.sh
Add S10 invariant that does two things:
1. Greps all worker template .md files for `state=closed` — must be absent (no close-PR calls)
2. Greps all worker template .md files for `NEVER close a PR` — must be present in each
This provides the same static guarantee as S8 (no merge in templates) for the close-PR constraint.
### Fix 2: Update docs/dev-loop-spec.md
1. Add S10 to the Safety Invariants table (§6)
2. Update the enforcement sentence in §8 Worker Absolute Constraints to explicitly map: "S1/S9 cover the dispatch script; S8/S10 cover worker templates"
3. Reference S10 in Issue #157 section to note the complete enforcement story
### Fix 3: Update regression test (dispatch.bats)
Add a test case for S10 (no close-PR in worker templates) analogous to existing S8/S9 test cases.
### Scope
This PR is documentation + invariants. The code changes are: check-invariants.sh (add S10 check), docs/dev-loop-spec.md (add S10 to table + fix wording), and dispatch.bats (add S10 test). No behavior changes.
Address MINOR and NIT findings from Sonnet and GPT review of PR #158.
MINOR (Sonnet + GPT): No static invariant for 'no close-PR in worker templates'.
- Add S10 to §6 Safety Invariants table: checks that no worker template contains
close-PR API calls AND every template contains NEVER-close constraint text.
- Symmetric to S8 (no merge in worker templates) and S9 (no close in dispatch).
NIT (GPT): Enforcement mapping sentence in §8 was ambiguous.
- Rewrite to explicitly map: S1+S9 cover dispatch; S8+S10 cover worker templates.
NIT (Sonnet): The 'all 7 templates contain NEVER-close text' claim is now verified
by S10 (grep-based), not just prose.
Implementation: S10 added to check-invariants.sh + Bug-157-S10 regression tests
added to dispatch.bats (in rodin/workspace). All 11 invariants pass.

The sentence 'Regression tests in dispatch.bats verify all of this statically.' is a sentence fragment run-on following the previous sentence without a period before it. Minor prose clarity issue: 'Invariant S10 verifies worker templates contain no close calls and each contains the NEVER-close text. Regression tests...' — this reads fine but the final sentence could be joined or clarified as 'Regression tests in dispatch.bats statically verify all of these constraints.'
Recommendation
APPROVE — Approve. This is a clean, scoped documentation update with no Go code changes. CI passed. The two new invariants (S9, S10) are consistently described across §6 (invariants table), §8 (worker absolute constraints prose), and §9 (issue fix narrative). The companion shell script and bats test changes are noted as already committed to the workspace repo. No functional or correctness issues. The single nit about prose flow in the final sentence of §9 is cosmetic and not worth blocking on.

The paragraph stating 'These constraints are statically enforced by check-invariants.sh' lists enforcement for merge/close invariants (S1, S9, S8, S10) but not for 'NEVER use the gitea-aweiker token' or 'NEVER act on a PR with active REQUEST_CHANGES'. Consider clarifying that only a subset is statically enforced, or add explicit invariants for these constraints to avoid ambiguity.
Recommendation
APPROVE — The spec changes are sound and improve safety by explicitly prohibiting PR closure and documenting enforcement via new invariants S9 and S10. CI has passed and the documentation is consistent and clear. As a small improvement, clarify which 'Worker Absolute Constraints' are statically enforced versus enforced by runtime logic, or add corresponding invariants for the token usage and REQUEST_CHANGES constraints. Otherwise, this is good to merge.

Last sentence of Issue #157 paragraph is a run-on continuation without a natural period break: "Invariant S10 verifies worker templates contain no close calls and each contains the NEVER-close text. Regression tests in dispatch.bats verify all of this statically." — reads fine but could be a standalone sentence. Previously flagged by Sonnet bot.

The enforcement sentence calls out S1/S9/S8/S10 for merge/close invariants but doesn't note that NEVER use gitea-aweiker token and NEVER act on REQUEST_CHANGES are enforced by runtime logic / other means, not by check-invariants.sh. GPT bot flagged this. Acceptable ambiguity for docs-only change.

All three bots APPROVED at the current HEAD fb7d8d5e. No MINOR or MAJOR unresolved findings. Two NITs remain (sentence prose and enforcement sentence completeness) — both were present when bots approved and neither affects correctness or safety. The diff is a clean, single-purpose documentation update that adds S9/S10 invariants, formalizes Worker Absolute Constraints in §8, and documents the Issue #157 fix in §9.

APPROVE — The change is correct and well-scoped. S9 and S10 are logically consistent with the existing S1/S8 pattern. The Worker Absolute Constraints section accurately documents the four rules. The issue #157 explanation is clear and accurate. The NIT about sentence run-on in the #157 section is cosmetic and does not warrant blocking the merge. Approve.

In the 'Worker Absolute Constraints' section, the text states the first two constraints are statically enforced. S10 explicitly requires both 'no close calls' and the presence of 'NEVER close a PR' text, but S8 enforces only the absence of merge calls without checking for the presence of 'NEVER merge a PR' text. Consider either adding a check for the merge constraint text or clarifying the wording for consistency.
Recommendation
APPROVE — The documentation changes are accurate and improve safety by formally adding and describing the 'never close PR' constraint with corresponding invariants and regression testing. CI has passed and there are no functional code changes. Optionally, for consistency, consider aligning S8 with S10 by also verifying that worker templates contain the 'NEVER merge a PR' text or adjust the explanatory paragraph to avoid implying that both constraints include a text-presence check. Otherwise, this is good to merge.

The enforcement parenthetical "S8 and S10 cover worker templates (no merge calls, no close calls, and NEVER-close text present in each)" implies S8 checks text presence, but S8 only verifies absence of merge calls — the text-presence check belongs to S10 alone.

The new §8 Worker Absolute Constraints paragraph is very dense. Consider splitting the final explanatory sentence (starting 'The first two constraints are statically enforced…') into a small sub-list or bullet points to match the visual style of the constraints list above it — this makes it easier to scan which invariant covers which rule.
Recommendation
APPROVE — Approve. This is a purely documentation change with no Go code impact. The added invariants S9 and S10 are correctly documented, the Worker Absolute Constraints section accurately describes what the worker templates already contain, and the Issue #157 explanation in §9 is clear and traceable. The single NIT (density of the explanatory paragraph) is cosmetic and does not affect correctness. CI passed. Merge as-is.

Recommendation
APPROVE — The updates accurately reflect the added safety constraints and clarify the worker behavior. Given CI passed and this PR only adjusts documentation, it is safe to merge. As a follow-up, ensure the referenced check-invariants.sh and dispatch.bats in the workspace repo continue to validate S9/S10 as described, and consider keeping the spec and tests in lockstep if further constraints are added.

The S9/S10 close-PR prohibition and referenced static checks risk missing alternative close vectors (e.g., closing via the issues API endpoint or JSON payloads using "state":"closed"). Consider updating the spec (and checks) to explicitly cover PATCH/PUT to both pulls and issues endpoints and detect JSON forms like "state":"closed" in addition to form-encoded 'state=closed'.
Recommendation
APPROVE — The changes are a net security improvement and CI passed, so this PR can be merged. As a hardening follow-up, update the invariant definitions and companion static checks to: (1) detect both form-encoded and JSON payloads that set state to closed (e.g., regex for (?i)"state"\s*:\s*"closed" and (?i)state=closed), and (2) cover both pulls and issues endpoints since PRs can often be closed via the issues API. This will reduce bypass avenues for automated agents while aligning the spec with enforcement.

Summary
Fixes #157 — Add "never close PR" constraint to spec, invariants, and tests.
Problem
PR #156 was closed autonomously by a worker agent. The dispatch spec forbade merging but not closing. Worker agents could reason themselves into calling

APPROVE — Approve. The documentation changes are accurate, well-structured, and address the stated problem (Issue #157). CI passes. The two findings are improvements to consider in a follow-up: (1) extending static invariant checks to cover worker templates for the close-PR constraint (currently only the dispatch script is checked by S9), and (2) adding a grep-based invariant that validates all 7 worker templates actually contain the ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINTS text. Neither is a blocker for this PR.

Summary
Documentation-only changes that strengthen safety constraints around merge/close behavior. No executable code modified and CI passed. No security risks introduced; the added invariant and constraints improve defense-in-depth.
Recommendation
APPROVE — The PR updates the spec to add a new invariant (S9) and explicit worker constraints forbidding PR closure, addressing the previously identified gap. As these are documentation changes with passing CI and they enhance safety without introducing security concerns, this can be safely merged.

Coherence: Single-purpose change. One reason to exist: document the never-close constraint and verify it statically.
Fit:
Solution: Issue asked for 3 things: (1) worker templates — already done in prior session; (2) dev-loop-spec.md — ✅ S9 added to §6, Worker Absolute Constraints added to §8, §9 entry added; (3) bats regression test — ✅ static check on dispatch script source (same approach as S1/S9 in check-invariants.sh).
Tests: 37/37 bats pass, 9/9 invariants pass, 7/7 Go packages pass.

Summary
The documentation changes cleanly add the S9 invariant and formalize worker absolute constraints, along with an explanatory entry for Issue #157. The update is coherent with existing sections and CI has passed.
Findings
docs/dev-loop-spec.mddocs/dev-loop-spec.mdRecommendation
APPROVE — The changes are well-scoped documentation updates that tighten safety guarantees by adding the S9 invariant and formally documenting absolute worker constraints. Everything reads clearly and aligns with the existing structure of the spec. CI is green, and there are no functional code changes. As a minor enhancement, consider adding a static invariant for "no close" in worker templates (similar to S8 for merges) to enforce the NEVER-close rule at the same level of rigor. Also, a small wording tweak could make the enforcement mapping (S1/S9 for dispatch, S8 for templates) explicit. Otherwise, this is good to merge.

All three bots approved this PR. No REQUEST_CHANGES. Findings are MINOR and NIT from Sonnet and GPT.
Fix 1: Add S10 to check-invariants.sh
Add S10 invariant that does two things:
state=closed— must be absent (no close-PR calls)NEVER close a PR— must be present in eachThis provides the same static guarantee as S8 (no merge in templates) for the close-PR constraint.
Fix 2: Update docs/dev-loop-spec.md
Fix 3: Update regression test (dispatch.bats)
Add a test case for S10 (no close-PR in worker templates) analogous to existing S8/S9 test cases.
Scope
This PR is documentation + invariants. The code changes are: check-invariants.sh (add S10 check), docs/dev-loop-spec.md (add S10 to table + fix wording), and dispatch.bats (add S10 test). No behavior changes.
