Briefing

You are the Coordinator Agent.

Based on the rules you must follow in the file .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/rules_coordinator.md,
perform the blocker intake for blocker 1 of US_3 (EPIC_1)
(Mission 1, section 3 of your rules).

Escalation report:
.milkyflow/agents/project_manager/reports/EPIC_1_US_3_BLOCKER_1.md

1. Read the report fully: summary, category, what was tried or ruled out, options,
   recommendation, and what its "Decision (CEO)" section says.
2. Determine whether a CEO decision is REQUIRED, per your rules section 3: CEO authority
   involved (money/spend, credentials or accounts, policy or agent-rules changes, scope,
   or a genuine choice between materially different directions) — or NOT required (the
   report admits a single actionable continuation fully inside an existing agent mandate).
   State the determination and its reasoning explicitly. When in doubt, treat it as
   required.
3. If REQUIRED — build the decision page (rules section 3a) at
   .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/EPIC_1_US_3_BLOCKER_1.html:
   structured controls from the Options with the Recommendation pre-selected, custom
   fallback, decision + resolution PLAN, decision JSON + paste-ready markdown, POST
   handshake with copy-paste fallback, all report text escaped.
4. If NOT required — dispatch (rules section 3b): identify the agent whose mandate covers
   the corrective action, compose its full self-contained briefing (reuse or adapt the
   matching .milkyflow/prompts template when one fits), and write the dispatch record at
   .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/reports/EPIC_1_US_3_BLOCKER_1_DISPATCH.md.
   Your response MUST contain the JSON object {"agent": "...", "prompt": "..."} exactly as
   persisted in the record.

Stop once the page or the dispatch record exists. The report file stays the single source
of truth: a CEO decision enters the pipeline only when pasted into the report; a dispatch
routes work but never decides content, and the PM still fills the Resolution section once
the dispatched work is done.

I have enough context now. Let me make my determination and build the decision page.

**Determination: CEO decision IS REQUIRED.**

Reasons (per rules §3):
1. **The PM explicitly says so** in the report's "Decision (CEO)" section: *"CEO decision required: yes."*
2. **Human action required**: Option 1 (the recommendation) requires the CEO — the only human — to run a shell script on the QA machine. No agent can reach that external MySQL fixture.
3. **Options 2 and 3** also involve CEO authority (architecture scope change, or a scope/gate policy change).

Now let me build the decision page:

● Check pages dir (shell)
  │ ls /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper/.milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/
  │ 2>/dev/null || echo "dir missing"
  └ 4 lines…

● Read EPIC_1_US_2_BLOCKER_4.html
  │ .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/EPIC_1_US_2_BLOCKER_4.html
  └ L1:60 (60 lines read)

Good — I can see the prior pages' style. Let me read the full BLOCKER_4 page for reference on the JS/form structure:

● Count lines (shell)
  │ wc -l /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper/.milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/EP
  │ IC_1_US_2_BLOCKER_4.html
  └ 2 lines…

● Read EPIC_1_US_2_BLOCKER_4.html
  │ .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/EPIC_1_US_2_BLOCKER_4.html
  └ L400:694 (295 lines read)

I have a complete reference. Now let me build the BLOCKER_1 decision page (adapted for this specific blocker — 3 options, Option 1 pre-selected, the script shown in context):

● Read EPIC_1_US_2_BLOCKER_4.html
  │ .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/EPIC_1_US_2_BLOCKER_4.html
  └ L60:400 (340 lines read)

Now I have everything. Let me create the full decision page:

● Create EPIC_1_US_3_BLOCKER_1.html +791
  └ .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/EPIC_1_US_3_BLOCKER_1.html

Done. Here's the full intake record:

---

## Determination: CEO decision **REQUIRED**

**Reasoning (rules §3):**
1. **PM explicitly asks for it** — the report's "Decision (CEO)" section states *"CEO decision required: yes."*
2. **Human action required (§3 rule 2)** — Option 1 (the recommendation) requires running a shell script on the QA machine against a MySQL server no agent can reach. The CEO is the only human in the pipeline; there is no "operator."
3. **Options 2 and 3 involve CEO authority** — Option 2 is a scope/architecture change (DEPLOY_CONFIG rewrite), Option 3 is an explicit scope/gate-policy change; both require CEO sign-off regardless.
4. **No dispatch path exists** — no agent mandate covers acting on an external MySQL server account.

## Output

Decision page created at:
```
.milkyflow/agents/coordinator/pages/EPIC_1_US_3_BLOCKER_1.html
```

The page contains:
- **Sidebar:** blocker metadata (Category D, 4th occurrence, story frozen)
- **Occurrence chain** (all 4 occurrences from 2026-08-01 → 2026-08-04)
- **What was tried/ruled out** (all PM findings, escaped)
- **Diagnosis** section (manual transcription root-cause hypothesis)
- **3 options as mutually-exclusive radios** — Option 1 pre-selected (Recommended badge)
- **Option 1** includes the full self-contained script verbatim from the report
- **Custom "Other" fallback** with free-text field
- **Optional rationale field**
- **Resolution plan section** (plan vs. resolution callout; pre-seeded actions for Option 1 + DevOps re-run row; editable)
- **Submit → Decision JSON + paste-ready markdown** with copy buttons
- **POST handshake** with file:// graceful degradation
- **Next-step callout** pointing at the report as single source of truth
