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 E2E (EPIC_1)
(Mission 1, section 3 of your rules).

Escalation report:
.milkyflow/agents/project_manager/reports/EPIC_1_E2E_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_E2E_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_E2E_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.

Now I have everything I need. Let me make the determination and compose the dispatch.

**Determination:** CEO decision **NOT required**.

- Category A: defective/untestable criterion — routes directly to PO per PM rules §8.
- All options involve only text edits to test plan / deploy prompt docs — no money, credentials, scope expansion, or policy changes.
- Both options are within PO mandate; no genuine choice between materially different directions (Option 2 is just a subset of Option 1 fixing less).
- PO rules section 10 (category-A blocker) explicitly covers: "Rewrite the criterion so it is testable and executable as written."
- Report's own "Decision (CEO)" section confirms: not required.

For the DevOps prompt correction — the PM frames it as a "same pass" recommendation, not mandatory routing to DevOps. The PO rules don't have a "Never touch devops prompts" rule. I'll include it in the briefing as the PM recommends, since it's a documentation correction in the same pass.

Now let me write the dispatch record:

● Check devops prompt lines 98-100 (shell)
  │ cat /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper/.milkyflow/agents/devops/prompts/EPIC_1_
  │ E2E/DEPLOY_CONFIG_1.md 2>/dev/null | sed -n '90,110p'
  └ 22 lines…

  │ grep -n "source update\|source_id" /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper/.milkyflo
  │ w/agents/product_owner/EPIC_1/e2e_test_plan.md | head -20
  └ 8 lines…

● Read T4 steps in test plan (shell)
  │ sed -n '190,218p' /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper/.milkyflow/agents/product_
  │ owner/EPIC_1/e2e_test_plan.md
  └ 29 lines…

I now have everything confirmed. Let me write the dispatch record:

● Create EPIC_1_E2E_BLOCKER_1_DISPATCH.md +60
  └ .milkyflow/agents/coordinator/reports/EPIC_1_E2E_BLOCKER_1_DISPATCH.md

Dispatch record created. Here is the summary:

---

## Determination: CEO decision NOT required

**Reasoning:**
- Category A (defective/untestable criterion) — PM rules §8 routes this directly to the Product Owner, no CEO authority involved.
- Both options are text-only test-plan fixes with no money, credentials, scope expansion, or policy changes.
- The two options are not materially different directions (Option 2 is a subset of Option 1); neither requires a CEO choice.
- Report's own "Decision (CEO)" section confirms this, and independent verification agrees.

**Mandate check:** PO rules section 10 ("The one case that does reach you is a category-A blocker … Rewrite the criterion so it is testable and executable as written") affirmatively covers all three test-plan corrections. No "Never" rule forbids any briefed action.

**Routing law 2 satisfied:** One prompt, one agent (PO). After the PO delivers the corrected plan, DevOps redeployment and QA re-run are standard pipeline steps that `next_prompt.sh` routes normally — no override required.

  "agent": "PO — Product Owner",
  "prompt": "Based on the rules you must follow in `.milkyflow/agents/product_owner/rules_product_owner.md`, you are receiving a category-A blocker correction for EPIC_1 E2E.\n\n---\n\n## Context\n\nThe EPIC_1 end-to-end validation session is currently frozen (NOT VALIDATED — BLOCKED) because T4 Step 1 in the test plan could not be executed as written. The CLI exited with code 2: `unrecognized arguments: --source-id`.\n\nRoot cause: the `source update` subparser in `src/backup_cockpit/raw_capture/cli/commands.py` (lines 787-789) declares `source_id` as a required **positional** argument, not a named flag. The `--source-id` flag syntax is only used by `source register` (lines 728-734). The CLI is correct and fully tested; the defect is in the test plan document.\n\nThe correct form for `source update` is:\n```\nbackup-cockpit raw-capture source update <SOURCE_ID> [options]\n```\n\nThis is already documented correctly in `components/backup_cockpit/README.md` (lines 60-61).\n\nThis has appeared in three places in the test plan and was silently worked around by DevOps twice before reaching QA.\n\n---\n\n## Required corrections — `.milkyflow/agents/product_owner/EPIC_1/e2e_test_plan.md`\n\nMake the following three surgical text edits. Do not alter any other content.\n\n### 1. Line 53 — Preconditions → Seed data\n\nCurrent text:\n```\nbackup-cockpit raw-capture source update --source-id qa-test-source-1 --critical\n```\n\nCorrect to:\n```\nbackup-cockpit raw-capture source update qa-test-source-1 --critical\n```\n\n### 2.

Lines 210–215 — T4 Step 12 (restore step)\n\nCurrent text:\n```\nbackup-cockpit raw-capture source update \\\n    --source-id qa-test-source-2 \\\n    --upload-path /tmp/qa-upload-test\n```\n\nCorrect to:\n```\nbackup-cockpit raw-capture source update qa-test-source-2 \\\n    --upload-path /tmp/qa-upload-test\n```\n\n---\n\n## Accompanying fix (same pass — recommended) — `.milkyflow/agents/devops/prompts/EPIC_1_E2E/DEPLOY_CONFIG_1.md`\n\nStep 6 of this file (lines 99-100) carries the same wrong syntax:\n```\nbackup-cockpit raw-capture source update \\\n    --source-id qa-test-source-1 --critical\n```\n\nThis prompt file is the source that DevOps deviates from every time it deploys — it has already been silently corrected twice at runtime. Correct it to the positional form in the same pass:\n```\nbackup-cockpit raw-capture source update qa-test-source-1 --critical\n```\n\nIf you cannot or prefer not to touch this file in this pass, leave it; it is not a PO-authored artifact and does not gate the unblock.\n\n---\n\n## What you must state on completion\n\nAfter saving the corrected file(s), state explicitly:\n- What lines changed in `e2e_test_plan.md` (line numbers and old → new text).\n- Whether `DEPLOY_CONFIG_1.md` was also corrected.\n\nDo not amend any acceptance criteria in the US_* story files — the CLI's positional/flag shape for `source update` is already correct in the component README and in unit tests; no story criterion is wrong.\n\nOnce your corrected `e2e_test_plan.md` is saved, the Project Manager will fill the Resolution section of `.milkyflow/agents/project_manager/reports/EPIC_1_E2E_BLOCKER_1.md`, and the standard pipeline (DevOps redeploy → QA full E2E re-run) will resume from next_prompt.sh."
