Owner

Summary

The osb-pr-prepare playbook moves to version 1.4.0. It stops keeping its own list of review steps and runs the owner's dev quality cycle, a shared review procedure that every repository uses before a push. The playbook also gains an owner approval step before it pushes. Before this change it pushed and opened the PR without asking.

What changed

  1. One review cycle instead of four review nodes. The self_review, test_audit, security_review and ocr_review nodes are replaced by two new nodes:
    1. cycle_run is a script node. It runs the cycle's runner on the branch: OpenCodeReview on the Claude subscription, a read-only Codex review and claude -p /security-review.
    2. cycle_review is an agent node. It checks every finding against the code and applies the security-audit and test-audit skills. It fixes the real findings, decides by the cycle's convergence rule whether another round is needed, and reports with the cycle's template.
    3. The Open Second Brain rules move into cycle_review unchanged: how security fixes are handled and worded in public, and the test rules for regression proofs and volatile output.
  2. The review range follows what was reviewed, not what was pushed. A branch that was pushed before PR preparation is still reviewed in full against the base. A later pass reviews only the commits that came after the last head the cycle reviewed.
  3. Owner approval before the push. A new push_approval gate sits before push_pr. Approving it covers the push and the CI-fix pushes of the same PR. Rejecting it stops the run before anything leaves the machine.
  4. Fixes made after the review are reviewed too. Code fixes from final_fix and from the CodeRabbit pass go through the cycle's convergence rule, usually one OpenCodeReview pass on the fix commits only, before they are pushed.
  5. The QA gates, the architecture gate, versioning, CI waiting and the never-merge rules are unchanged. The other scripts are the same as in 1.2.0.
  6. The osb-reviewer profile gains an explicit empty fallbacks list. apb wrote it when the profile was approved.

Verification

  1. apb validate: osb-pr-prepare: OK. Two warnings were already there in 1.2.0 (V90 on push_pr and ci_fix). The new approval gate is the consent step for them.
  2. scripts/cycle-run.sh was exercised in a throwaway repository. Tests covered the first pass on a pushed branch, a later pass after a recorded head, a record from another branch, and an already reviewed head.
  3. Pre-push review on this branch:
    1. OpenCodeReview, Codex and the security review ran.
    2. The review-range gap and the unreviewed final_fix commits were fixed.
    3. A final OpenCodeReview pass on the fix found nothing.
    4. Findings on scripts copied unchanged from 1.2.0 are left for a separate change.
  4. The playbook has not run on a real PR yet.

Also in this PR

  1. tests/cli/brain/verbs/storage.test.ts seeded fixed dates up to 2026-10-16 and assumed the fresh census lands on the newest seeded day. From 2026-10-17 that test failed on every runner, main included. The seeds are now the two days before today and today itself.
  2. CodeRabbit: with a no-release change kind, check-release.sh now also refuses a new CHANGELOG heading.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a guided workflow for preparing and validating an unmerged pull request, including release checks, quality and architecture gates, CI monitoring, and review follow-up.
    • Added checks that confirm the pull request is open, targets the expected branch, reflects the latest local changes, and has not enabled auto-merge.
    • Added status reporting with next steps when the workflow stops.
  • Improvements
    • Updated the workflow to version 1.4.0 and refined reviewer profile settings.
    • Added a human approval step before pushing changes and opening or updating a pull request.

osb-pr-prepare 1.4.0 replaces its own review list (self-review,
test-audit, security review, OpenCodeReview in delegation mode) with
the owner's dev quality cycle from the global skill dev-quality-cycle:
OpenCodeReview on the claude-code provider, a read-only Codex review,
claude -p /security-review, the security-audit and test-audit skills
and the repository gates, with the skill's convergence rule.

- cycle_run: a script node that calls the skill runner on the branch
  range and records the run folder; runner exit 4 means nothing new.
- cycle_review: verifies the findings, runs the two audit skills, fixes
  the real findings, decides new rounds by the convergence rule and
  reports with the skill's template. The Open Second Brain security
  dispositions and test rules stay in the prompt.
- push_approval: a human_review gate before push_pr. The playbook used
  to push and open the PR without asking; an approval now covers the
  push and the CI fix pushes of the same PR.
- bot_review sends CodeRabbit fixes through the convergence rule.

The osb-reviewer profile gains an explicit empty fallbacks list, written
by apb when its bundle was approved.

The cycle range in osb-pr-prepare 1.4.0 followed the upstream branch,
so a branch pushed before PR preparation skipped the review. cycle_run
now reviews the whole branch against the base unless the cycle itself
recorded a reviewed head for this branch, and cycle_review and
final_fix record that head. final_fix sends its code fixes through the
convergence table, a nothing-new pass still emits the completion
marker, and the bot review edges quote yes and no as strings for any
YAML reader.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds the 1.4.0 branch-preparation playbook and scripts. The workflow validates run context, updates release materials when required, runs local checks and review cycles, requires human approval before pushing, and reports PR and CI status. It does not merge or enable auto-merge.

Changes: PR preparation workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow definition and run context
.apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/playbook.yaml, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/lib.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/check-context.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/check-release.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/zg-index.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/current, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/meta/1.4.0.yaml
The playbook defines intake, release handling, checks, approval, PR creation or update, and completion routes. Helper scripts load and validate context, release state, toolchains, and local indexing prerequisites. The current version is set to 1.4.0, and run metadata is initialized.
Local gates and review cycles
.apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/qa-gates.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/arch-gate.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/cycle-run.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/final-gates.sh
The QA and architecture scripts check the branch. The cycle runner records review results, and final gates rerun checks unless the current commit already has a recorded green QA result.
PR and CI verification
.apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/ci-wait.sh, .apb/playbooks/osb-pr-prepare/1.4.0/scripts/check-pr.sh
The CI wait script checks that the PR head matches local HEAD and monitors CI. The PR check script verifies the PR state, branches, commit, worktree, and auto-merge setting.

The storage forecast test can fail very rarely if UTC midnight passes while it runs. Production behavior is unaffected, so this is low risk to merge.

The cap test seeded fixed dates up to 2026-10-16 and relied on the
fresh census landing on the newest seeded day. From 2026-10-17 the
census became a fourth day, flattened the fitted trend and the tier
fell from warn to ok on every runner. Seed the two days before today
and today itself instead.

check-release.sh accepted a new CHANGELOG heading when the change kind
ships no release, because it compared only package.json. It now also
fails when the first CHANGELOG heading moved against the base.

The census timestamps its own sample with the current time, so a run
crossing UTC midnight after the seeds could still add a fourth day.
Freeze the clock at today's UTC noon around the report.
