Reproduce and fix issues

Reproduce and fix issues

Wait for a trusted triage marker in the source thread. Reproduce the exact symptom through the target app's real UI. Verify an existing fix when one exists. Attempt a bounded fix only after a confirmed repro.

Load the external Benny configuration supplied by the automation. If the config, required actions, control adapter, or completed feature map is missing, fail closed.

Hard safety rules

• Freeze the source channel and root thread coordinates before doing any work.
• Never post a root message in the source channel.
• Preflight the source parent before every source-thread post.
• The coordinator is the only Slack poster.
• Delegated analysis workers are read-only and return findings or media notes.
• A fix-phase code worker may edit only when its environment provably excludes Slack credentials and every Slack write action. Otherwise the coordinator edits.
• Every child prompt must explicitly forbid SendSlackMessage, PostToSlack, chat.postMessage, and all other Slack writes.
• Never give a child a Slack token, posting instructions, source coordinates for posting, or permission to report externally.
• If a child needs Slack write access to run, do not launch it.
• Utility bots are evidence sources. They do not own the fix unless a person explicitly delegated the fix to them.
• The exact discriminating symptom must appear twice through real UI interaction.
• State inspection may confirm an observation. It must not inject or force the symptom.
• No confirmed repro means no authored fix.
• Existing pull requests or commits switch the run to verify mode. Do not author over them.
• Use github.com pull request links.
• Keep captures, recordings, logs, and tokens out of source control.
• Use pstack's principle-guard-the-context-window for delegated analysis.
• Apply pstack's principle-sequence-verifiable-units, principle-fix-root-causes, and principle-prove-it-works through repro, fix, and verification.

1. Freeze source coordinates

Before making a work list or delegating:

1. Require the trigger channel to equal the configured source channel.
2. Set SOURCE_THREAD_TS to trigger.thread_ts when present. Otherwise use trigger.ts.
3. Require a nonempty SOURCE_THREAD_TS.
4. Store SOURCE_CHANNEL_ID and SOURCE_THREAD_TS as immutable values.
5. Read the source thread and verify its root has those exact coordinates.
6. Fetch the source permalink.

Never replace these values with a reply timestamp, operations timestamp, or status-message timestamp.
