The brief told the agent to ask for a phase change and never carried the
asking. The agent asked in prose, no code represented the request, and the
session idled until its lease expired. That is what failed run 3.
F21. The agent asks with .orchestra/phase-request.json, and seals
research.json or plan.json where the phase it is leaving produces one. At a
verified turn boundary the worker checks the phase belief, the transition and
the artifact, then calls the coordinator with its lease epoch and a derived
operation id. AdvanceWorkPhase is unchanged, so a request cannot reach a move
the operator surface could not also make. Redelivery is idempotent.
F22. A session now records the phase it was launched to run. One that no
longer matches its task rotates with reason phase_changed, whether this worker
asked for the change or an operator made it.
F20. CLIAdapter.prompt sent handoff and rotation prompts without confirming
them, which is the failure F20 exists to catch. Fixed at the shared call site.
F23 needed no change. Issue comments already become decisions with no
submission, through Reconciler.Reconcile at PreLease and at every turn
boundary. The earlier finding searched internal/operations alone and was
wrong. Tests now cover the boundary it turns on.

The v3 stack, previously an uncommitted working tree, plus this session's two
units and the burn-in instrument. This commit is the burn-in build identity:
coordinator and worker must both report this revision before a task is created.
Workflow (earlier sessions, uncommitted until now): human decision events and
reduction, source cursors and reconcile-before-launch, turn-boundary
reconciliation, internal/agentctx as the single renderer, ace-fca phases with
sealed artifacts, the trajectory gate, bounded grilling, independent review,
task pr enforcement, and human review reflection.
Capability restrictions at the agent boundary: an authz.Agent surface at
GatedWrite may ask and may not act. It also fixes two bugs the unit exposed --
gated surfaces could not reach the two endpoints written for them, and
RequestHumanDecision would block an unowned task while rejecting a question
from the session that did own it.
Turn-boundary reconcile-failure escalation: a streak of consecutive failures
asks the session to hand off, fenced on the lease epoch, with reconcile_failure
as a real handoff reason. The worker was dropping the coordinator's verdict on
the floor; it now acts on it.
Burn-in: herdr.WriteLaunchContext dumps the exact agentctx.Build result to
<worktree>/.orchestra/launch.md at every launch, local and federated. BURNIN.md
is the runbook. deploy/build.sh stamps both binaries from one commit.
go build, go vet and go test ./... pass, 20 packages.
