Acts on the seven review comments on PR #1.
Design A is gone (comment 4). clients/ deleted rather than tracked: with
workers carrying cross-machine work the bridge is undeployed, which supersedes
the 2026-07-27 "keep through Phase 5" decision. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and
AUDIT.md updated from "retained" to "deleted".
The harness-hook completion path is gone (comment 10). Investigation of the
live OpenCode QA run showed orchestra-worker owns completion end to end: it
watches for .orchestra/done, confirms via AgentStatus that the agent is not
busy, then posts through /v1/federation/* with both lease epoch and expected
version. The hook scripts used a different, older convention
(.orchestra-report.md) and posted to /v1/harness/complete, which had already
been reduced to a 410 stub - so that path could not have completed a task.
Nothing exercised it, because the live run never used it. Deleted: the three
deploy/hooks scripts, the 410 route, the unmounted harnessCompletion handler,
and its test. That test passed against a handler no mux routed to, which is
the exact "looks wired but isn't" pattern CLAUDE.md warns about; the
constant-time token compare added to it earlier today goes with it, having
never been reachable. /v1/harness/turn is untouched and still live.
Retired deployment files (comments 8, 12, 14): deploy/orchestra.service and
deploy/redeploy.sh (which sudo-installed to /usr/local/bin and restarted that
unit), plus deploy/docker-api-entrypoint.sh. The entrypoint was safe to remove
once its premise was checked: env vars reach the container through
`env_file: .env` in compose.yaml, not by sourcing /etc/orchestra/orchestra.env
- only config.jsonc is bind-mounted there - and Dockerfile.api's line 17
already sets ORCHESTRA_DATA/ORCHESTRA_PORT. Dockerfile.api now execs
/app/orchestra directly. orchestra-worker.service is a different, current unit
and is kept.
deploy/config.example.json deleted as a duplicate (comment 6); the annotated
.jsonc is the one registry.go points at, and its header no longer tells the
reader to copy the file that just went away.
Documentation corrected beyond the deletions:
- CLAUDE.md's deployment section claimed the container bind-mounts
/etc/orchestra:ro and its entrypoint sources the env file. Both wrong.
- AGENTS.md still described a systemd deployment on homesrv as of 2026-07-27.
- AUDIT.md's H5 row still described a "retained compatibility handler".
- deploy/DEPLOYMENT.md still named redeploy.sh as the deployment path.
- deploy/orchestra.env.example still cited EnvironmentFile=.
TOKEN_MINIMAL_WORKFLOW_PLAN.md (comment 2) is untouched: it and WEB_UI_PLAN.md
were both missed by REVIEW.md's documentation sweep, and reconciling a 534-line
forward-looking plan against AUDIT.md is its own task, not a review fixup.
Verified: go build ./..., go vet ./..., go test ./... all pass after the
deletions, and go list ./... has no node_modules entry. No live herdr or pane
was touched; nothing was deployed. The running image still predates this
commit until compose is rebuilt.

Acts on the 2026-07-30 senior review (REVIEW.md findings 1, 2, 4, 5, 7).
Docs (finding 1): CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md both claimed Design B "has zero
clients - no worker binary exists". cmd/orchestra-worker/main.go is the
deployed worker, and the non-local-herdr guardrail has landed in
Coordinator.adapterFor. Both sections rewritten; AUDIT.md gains a matching
federation-status record. The Phase 5 retention / Phase 6 deletion decision
for Design A is preserved, not flattened.
clients/ un-ignored and tracked, including the .service unit and README:
deployed code belongs in version control. Design A is NOT deleted here.
progress.md (finding 2): the file was deleted after 636ed8a, yet CLAUDE.md
instructed every session to cross-check against it. References removed from
CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, internal/orchestrator/rotation_test.go (comment only)
and deploy/hooks/orchestra-codex-poll.sh; AUDIT.md now carries the log role.
web/go.mod (finding 4): a module stub ends the parent package graph at the
directory boundary, so go list ./... no longer yields
web/node_modules/flatted/golang/pkg/flatted. A build tag cannot work - the
package is in the package list before tags are evaluated. Local/CI-only
breakage: Dockerfile.api builds ./cmd/orchestra by explicit path and
.dockerignore already excluded node_modules.
orchestra-worker (finding 5): untracked (8.9MB, mode 100755, still on disk);
both binaries now gitignored.
Token compare (finding 7): cmd/orchestra/main.go:139,582 use
subtle.ConstantTimeCompare, matching the authz.go idiom. The token != ""
guard stays first, so an empty configured token still means auth-disabled
rather than auth-bypass. Three further plain != secret compares remain in
internal/federation/federation.go:343,346,368 - tracked, not fixed here.
Also included from the review pass: orchestrator.go records adapter-resolution
failures in SessionHealth.LastError instead of dropping them on a bare
continue, plus an Observed flag so lease-seeded health is not mistaken for a
live reading, with a covering test. GET /v1/tasks/<id>/health now returns a
record with last_error where it previously returned a bare 404.
REVIEW.md's own second pass claimed every checkable fact held up; four did
not. AUDIT.md never contained the false Design B claim (AGENTS.md was the
second copy), the guardrail is at orchestrator.go:312 not :309, the
progress.md site list missed the codex-poll hook, and only orchestra-worker
was tracked. Verified: go build, go vet, go test, and
go list ./... | grep node_modules all clean with every change applied
together. No live herdr or pane was touched; nothing was deployed.

Verified against a live herdr instance (192.168.1.105:9245) that pane.kill,
pane.release, and pane.rotation_signal never existed in the protocol, as
AUDIT.md's B5 suspected. Real method list captured in deploy/herdr-schema.json.
- Kill now calls the real pane.close({pane_id}).
- RotationSignal interface/method/call-site deleted; no real equivalent exists.
- Release now refuses loudly instead of calling a nonexistent method — the
real pane.release_agent can't return a handoff_ref either way (herdr
doesn't write handoffs, the agent does), so a real fix needs Phase 4
handoff production first.
Also documents Phase 0 findings in AUDIT.md/progress.md, and adds
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md with project-specific knowledge (herdr protocol facts,
deployment topology, a currently-stuck live task, the federation fork) for
future sessions.
