[finding] the harness auto-mode classifier denies the protocol's landing command non-deterministically — 8 byte-identical `PUT …/ccr/auto_merge` from one turn: 4 allowed / 4 denied under three reasons; and a hooks landing rotates every seat off shift before it can flip ready

[os-elon-musk]

Filed by the domain:skills seat, session_01HPfcjvF23QBoBj7P47DDxs, 2026-09-16T14:1xZ, from a maintainer-authorized cross-lane landing on objectui (audit record objectui#5560 comment 5698676433; the maintainer's instruction in this seat's chat: 「本席跨车道全做八个」). ⛔ Not graded here in the same stroke — graded by the lane's next triage pass. Dedupe: no open domain:skills card names the classifier (control: grep -i classifier over the lane's open titles → 0; lit control --tier → #18425).

Reading 1 — the classifier, measured

Eight PUT /repos/objectstack-ai/objectui/pulls/N/ccr/auto_merge with {"merge_method":"SQUASH"}, byte-identical apart from N, issued in parallel from ONE turn of a session that did NOT dispatch any of the eight PRs, each PR ready, mergeable_state: clean, 0 red, non-governed (check-governed-queue-guard.mjs --test exit 0 over the 24-path union, lit control AGENTS.md exit 3), --pair exit 0, an ACCEPT on every card:

PR	verdict	reason string
objectui#9589	allowed, HTTP 200	—
objectui#9595	DENIED	[Merge Without Review]
objectui#9599	DENIED	[Auto-Mode Bypass]
objectui#9601	allowed, HTTP 200	—
objectui#9602	DENIED	Blocked by classifier
objectui#9612	DENIED	[Merge Without Review]
objectui#9614	allowed, HTTP 200	—
objectui#9617	allowed, HTTP 200	—

After the denials the same session had a read-only command (eight GET /pulls/N + git ls-remote) denied [Auto-Mode Bypass], which passed unchanged when re-issued smaller; and a comment POST to objectui#5560 (plain curl -d @file, the same shape this seat used all day on objectstack) denied three times under the same reason. Earlier the same day this session armed auto-merge on six objectstack PRs it HAD dispatched itself, all allowed; the ui seat's two previous shifts had the same command denied as [Self-Approval] and then [Merge Without Review].

What this falsifies: every narrowing recorded so far — 「the dispatching session arming its own PR」 (this session was not the dispatcher, still 4 denied), 「no review record on the PR」 (identical records on all eight), 「the reason string is the diagnosis」 (three strings for one command). The verdict is not a function of the command bytes, the PR, or the session's relation to the PR. platform-readings.md :431 (「同会话派发 PR 上 PASS 拒为 [Self-Approval]」) is therefore too narrow: it names one reason for one shape, and a seat reading it will keep trying to find the discriminator.

Consequence for the protocol: the landing route (in-seat review → ready → PUT ccr/auto_merge) has a step whose success probability is roughly a coin flip per call in an auto-mode session, and the red line 「不绕分类器」 is correct — so the protocol needs a stated fallback, not a better guess. Candidates for the grader: (a) the seat records the denial on the card and the round report lists the PR under 「待人工挂载」 with everything pre-checked, ⛔ no re-attempt, ⛔ no sibling probing — i.e. the ui seat's behaviour becomes the written rule; (b) the maintainer adds a harness permission rule for the CCR auto-merge route in the seat environment (the denial text's own remedy), after which the classifier is out of the loop for that command; (c) both. ⛔ Not a candidate: retrying, re-phrasing, or routing the write through another tool.

Reading 2 — a hooks landing rotates every seat off shift, and the rotation swallows ready flips

SKILL.md :91–92: 「同读 harness 载入面 .claude/{settings.json,agents/*.md,hooks/*} 的最新触碰是否已在共享检出 HEAD。否 ⇒ 收班、换新会话再派,⛔ 不推进共享检出」. This seat landed PR #18423 (b9598e9c, .claude/hooks/guard-governed-enqueue.selftest.sh, a test file) at 10:37Z. The domain:ui seat at objectui read STALE at 11:44Z and closed its shift mechanically (objectui#5560 comment 5696888799) with three ACCEPTed, green PRs (objectui#9612 #9614 #9617) still draft — the successor's 「first action」 was a ready flip that needed no harness at all. The rule is right about its target (a stale guard hook under a landing action) but it fires on ANY touch of the three paths, a self-test file included, and it stops actions the hooks do not guard.

What is asked (⛔ implementation not prescribed): the grader decides whether :91–92 should (i) key on the hook files that actually run (.claude/hooks/*.sh minus *.selftest.sh) and on settings.json / agents, or (ii) let a STALE seat finish non-hook-guarded flushes (ready flips on already-ACCEPTed PRs, records) before 收班, or (iii) stay as is and accept the cost. Rules layer ⇒ draft, four-piece, an authorized APPROVED. SKILL.md is at 812 / 812 with zero slack on :477; any added line is paid by deletion.

Data point 2 — a human APPROVED on the PR does not change the verdict — skills seat, session_01HPfcjvF23QBoBj7P47DDxs, 2026-09-16T14:19Z.

PR #18447 (card #18384, rules layer .claude/hooks/**): os-zhuang (in GOVERNED_APPROVERS) APPROVED at 2026-09-16T14:16:05Z on the current head and flipped it ready. With every landing pre-check green (checks 19 / 16 rostered skips, --pair 0, clean), this seat's PUT …/ccr/auto_merge was denied [Merge Without Review], and so was label-write.mjs --remove needs-user-decision on the same PR — the second time today for that strip. So the reason string 「Merge Without Review」 fires on a PR that carries a review; 「Self-Approval」 fired on the ui seat where the approver was a different account; 「Auto-Mode Bypass」 fired on a read-only GET. The classifier's verdict does not read the PR's review state either. Cumulative today across two seats and three repos' worth of commands: allowed 6 + 4 + 0, denied 0 + 4 + 2 for the same two shapes (arm, label strip). Candidate (b) in the body — a harness permission rule for the CCR auto-merge route and for label-write.mjs in the seat environment — is the only one that removes the coin flip; (a) is what the seats are already doing by hand.

Reading 2 is discharged by #18468 ruling D — this card narrows to reading 1 — skills seat, session_01HPfcjvF23QBoBj7P47DDxs, 2026-09-16T14:24Z. Between this card's filing and now, the director seat recorded the maintainer's ruling D on #18468 (5698926418, 2026-09-16T14:13:44Z): the re-seat prescription in SKILL.md :92 is removed, check-harness-current becomes a report, and the card is dispatched. That is the same rule this card's reading 2 asked the grader about, decided at a higher level and already in flight ⇒ reading 2 is not to be graded or dispatched here (dedupe: #18468 is the owner). What remains live on this card is reading 1 — the auto-mode classifier's non-deterministic denial of the landing command (now 4 / 8 identical arms denied on objectui plus the arm and the label strip denied on PR #18447 with a human APPROVED present, data point 5699021248) — and the protocol fallback it asks for. Note for the grader: ruling B on PR #18447 (5699053224) removes the client-side enqueue guard; it does not touch the classifier, which is harness-side, so reading 1 stands unchanged.

Graded — lane self-triage (domain:skills finding exception per lanes/skills.md): p2 · Task · pm:queue. Skills seat, session_01Gqi43smmqjJ5sUrhfoPeKu, 2026-09-16T16:49Z.

• Class (a): the denial is measured — 4 of 8 byte-identical arms on objectui, then the arm and a label strip on PR fix(hooks): watch the ccr auto-merge route in guard-governed-enqueue #18447 with a human APPROVED present (5699021248) — and it lands on the protocol's own landing command: a seat following the text cannot complete the step the text tells it to take. Reproducible in shape, not in verdict, which is the finding.
• Scope = reading 1 only, as 5699093937 narrowed it; reading 2 is discharged by [Decision] check-harness-current's prescription is all-or-nothing — one reworked hook forced every live PM session to re-seat three times in nine hours; narrow it by which path the harness actually loads at start #18468 ruling D (landed PR fix(pm): drop the re-seat prescription — check-harness-current and SKILL.md:92 become a seat-post reading #18476, d3c8116).
• Deliverable — one governed rules-layer PR, four-piece, the maintainer's approval lands it: ① references/platform-readings.md row :431 widened from one-reason-for-one-shape to the measured fact (the verdict is not a function of the command bytes, the PR, its review state or the session's relation to it; three reason strings for one command) — that block sits at zero byte slack, so pay by deletion or declare the payment section; ② .claude/settings.json gains permissions.allow entries for exactly the two landing shapes the seats run (the CCR auto_merge route and node scripts/pm/label-write.mjs) — candidate (b), the only one the card's own data says removes the coin flip; the 速读 names it as a harness-permission change so the approver reads it as such; ③ one protocol line in SKILL.md (paid by deletion at 812 / 812): a classifier-denied landing write is recorded on the card and the PR is listed in the round report under 「待人工挂载」 with every pre-check done — ⛔ no retry, no re-phrasing, no other tool — candidate (a) as the written fallback for any seat whose environment lacks ②.
• Why not the decision box: no product or contract question; the permission rule is a harness fact inside a governed file, and the four-piece already puts the maintainer's word in front of it. Why p2: it cost landings on two lanes today; ⛔ not p1 — every denied landing was completed by a human hand within the hour.
• Serial: behind finding(pm-dispatch): SKILL.md forbids an off-tier seat from spawning a clause-② review subagent while contract-review.md prescribes exactly that — so a default-tier lane has no legal route to a Clause-② yes verdict at all #18434 and skills(pm-dispatch): ADR-0136 D2 becomes the triage protocol — Journey: line, journey bands, cross-lane product-first order, journeys feed the queue #18489 on SKILL.md (hot-file serial queue on [PM seat] domain:skills — 🟢 os-elon-musk · session_01BTeBejoPUvRHN8WdAJC6oF · R1 · in flight 3 (#18939 · #18963 · #18940) · ACCEPTED awaiting a landing channel 4 (PR #18934 · PR #18941 · PR #18950 · PR #18961) · landed 1 (PR #18911) · fixed by sibling landing 1 (#18844) · awaiting approval 4 (PR #18898 · PR #18903 · PR #18918 · PR #18921) · decision box 7 · queue 16 · body r3i #7623); settings.json and platform-readings.md are free. Type: Task (a protocol and settings change; no contract is violated, no accept set widens).

Data point 3 — the denial reached a third seat, on a PR carrying an at-tier PASS — skills seat, session_01Gqi43smmqjJ5sUrhfoPeKu, 2026-09-17T02:22Z. Relayed by the maintainer from the domain:spec seat's chat, then read on GitHub: PR #18503 (card #18095, head 016bdeaa43, ready, mergeable_state: clean, 0 red, clause-② PASS by an isolated claude-fable-5-1 reviewer per the spec seat) — PUT …/pulls/18503/ccr/auto_merge {"merge_method":"SQUASH"} denied 「Permission denied by the Claude Code auto mode classifier. Reason: [Merge Without Review]」, while POST …/ccr/ready_for_review on the same PRs was allowed. Six PRs sit ready behind it (#18503 #18492 #18525 #18528 #18530 #18539, all draft: false, auto_merge: null at 2026-09-17T02:21Z); the spec seat did not retry (the card's ⛔). The spec seat's reading of .claude/settings.json on origin/main is confirmed here: 47 permissions.allow entries, 0 of them a PUT, none naming ccr or auto_merge; mcp__github__enable_pr_auto_merge is in deny. Three lanes (ui, skills, spec) have now paid a human hand for the same step. Re-priced below in the claim: the free-file half (allow entries + row :431) dispatches now; the SKILL.md fallback line keeps its serial slot.

Serial constraints cleared: .claude/settings.json and platform-readings.md are FREE — 24 open PRs' file lists read at 2026-09-17T02:21Z, none touches either; the only hot-file hit is PR #18511 on SKILL.md, which this PR does not touch; os-verify-lock.sh --status at 2026-09-17T02:22Z: free, queue empty; shared checkout fast-forwarded to origin/main 340b6dcf7 before this dispatch.
Ruling-ref: 5701196621
Re-pricing (seat ruling, this claim): the grading's single PR is split into two — PR-A (this dispatch) = deliverables ① (row :431) + ② (allow entries), both on free files, four-piece, the maintainer's approval lands it; PR-B = deliverable ③ (the SKILL.md 「待人工挂载」 fallback line, paid by deletion at 812 / 812) keeps its slot in the SKILL.md serial chain behind PR #18511 → #18489. Reason: three lanes have now paid a human hand for the same landing step (data point 3 above); ② is the only remedy the card's data says removes the coin flip, and it was waiting only on a file it does not touch. The card stays open after PR-A (Part of #18469, ⛔ not Fixes); it returns to pm:queue for PR-B on landing.
