# HANDOFF.md **Last updated:** 2026-05-01 (session 5 — PR #156 review fixes applied) **Active task:** Suggested-fix `applied_pending` outcome. Branch: `feat/fix-pending-verification`. PR #156 open; review fixes applied locally and ready for browser QA, then commit/merge. **Just-merged:** PR #155 (Escalation Mode wedge) merged into main as `ac42f97`. ## Where this session ended PR #156 was reviewed for missed bugs and three fixes were applied: 1. Page-level **Resolve** now treats `applied_pending` as a verifying state and patches the fix to `applied_success` before opening the resolution flow, avoiding provisional notes on a resolved session. 2. Page-level **Escalate** intercept now catches `applied_pending` as well as verifying/partial, so a pending fix cannot bypass outcome capture before handoff. Intercept copy was generalized from "Verifying state" to "still needs an outcome." 3. `PendingBanner` now includes a **Dismiss** action, matching the PR body and backend's allowed pending → dismissed transition. 4. Real-looking pending examples were removed from `resolution_note_generator` and `escalation_package_generator` system prompts to stay aligned with the prompt anti-parrot guardrail. **Validation on PR #156:** - `docker exec resolutionflow_backend pytest --override-ini="addopts=" tests/test_prompt_anti_parrot.py -q` ✅ 2/2 pass. - `docker exec resolutionflow_backend pytest --override-ini="addopts=" tests/test_fix_outcome_endpoint.py -q` ✅ 21/21 pass. - `docker exec -w /app resolutionflow_frontend npx tsc -b` ✅ exit 0. - `docker exec -w /app resolutionflow_frontend npm run build` ✅ exit 0; only existing Vite large-chunk warning. - `git diff --check` ✅ clean. - Previous session also verified `alembic upgrade heads` applied migration `c0f3a4b7e91d` cleanly. ## Resume point — DO THIS NEXT **Browser QA on PR #156** (see CURRENT_TASK.md "Resume point" for the checklist). Include the new review-fix paths: PendingBanner Dismiss, page-level Resolve from pending, and Escalate from pending. Then commit local fixes, push, and merge when QA is green. ## Key files for PR #156 - `backend/app/models/session_suggested_fix.py` — CHECK constraint extended; `pending_reason` Text column. - `backend/app/schemas/session_suggested_fix.py` — `applied_pending` added to both `FixStatus` and `FixOutcome` literals; `pending_reason` on response model; updated docstring on `SessionSuggestedFixOutcomeRequest`. - `backend/alembic/versions/71efd2102f49_add_pending_status_to_suggested_fixes.py` — new migration (rev `c0f3a4b7e91d`, down `71efd2102f49`). - `backend/app/api/endpoints/session_suggested_fixes.py` — `patch_outcome` accepts pending, requires notes, stamps applied_at only. - `backend/app/services/{resolution_note,escalation_package}_generator.py` — system-prompt handling for the new status; `pending_reason` line in input bundle; real-looking examples removed. - `backend/tests/test_fix_outcome_endpoint.py` — 4 new tests. - `frontend/src/api/sessionSuggestedFixes.ts` — types updated; `pending_reason` on `SessionSuggestedFix`. - `frontend/src/components/pilot/ProposalBanner.tsx` — `'pending'` `BannerMode`; `PendingBanner` component + Dismiss; "Waiting to verify…" overflow option; nudge "Still checking" wired to record pending. - `frontend/src/components/pilot/EscalateInterceptDialog.tsx` — copy generalized for pending/partial/verifying outcome capture. - `frontend/src/pages/AssistantChatPage.tsx` — banner-mode derivation maps `applied_pending → 'pending'`; Resolve/Escalate paths now handle pending. ## Watch-outs - Dev stack: backend `:8000`, frontend `:5173`, postgres `:5433` (docker-compose). HMR works. On this host use `docker exec` for Python/npm commands; see `.ai/PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`. - Test users (Acme MSP, password `TestPass123!`): `engineer@resolutionflow.example.com`, `teamadmin@resolutionflow.example.com`. - Multi-head alembic state on main is pre-existing (heads `070`, `c0f3a4b7e91d`, `024`); not introduced by this work but worth knowing if `alembic upgrade head` complains — use `upgrade heads` (plural). - `pending_reason` is preserved as audit trail when an engineer advances pending → success/failed/dismissed; it is not auto-cleared. Intentional. - Working tree also has documentation edits in `.ai/PROJECT_CONTEXT.md` and `AGENTS.md` describing Docker exec commands. Those were not part of the feature fix but should be preserved.
