Escalate blocked output obligation: state-output-obligation-timeout for #3344

[jason-aelf]

Blocked-obligation patrol filed this issue from a persisted terminal workflow fact.

Classification:

• failure_kind: OutputObligationFailure
• reason_class: state-output-obligation-timeout
• terminal_state: blocked
• parent: aevatarAI/aevatar#3344
• proposal_id: github-devloop/issue/aevatarAI/aevatar/3344
• terminal_version: ready/consensus-github-devloop/issue/aevatarAI/aevatar/3344/intake/0366205136/loop/1/timeout-reconcile/impl-failed/3
• source_ref: external:aevatarAI/aevatar#issue/3344

Terminal WHY:

• from_state: impl-failed
• from_version: ready/consensus-github-devloop/issue/aevatarAI/aevatar/3344/intake/0366205136/loop/1
• attempt: 3
• attempt_limit: 3
• driving_queue: devloop_ready

Requested outcome:

• Diagnose why this blocked terminal still has an unresolved output obligation.
• Implement any fix through the normal issue -> PR -> review -> merge pipeline.
• Treat the parent terminal as covered by this escalation issue; do not mutate runtime state directly.

github-devloop intake decision: enable
Service class: standard

Reason:
Fowler's Rule of Three and SRE recurring-incident practice apply: this is another state-output-obligation-timeout instance, with sibling issues #3353 and #3341; fold into a class-level fix instead of enabling this instance.

No stable recurring-class identity was found; enabling as an ordinary issue instead of creating a title-derived class carrier.

github-devloop thinking: consensus started

[jason-aelf]

github-devloop decision: approve
Verdicts: teleology=approve parsimony=abstain fidelity=abstain natural-ownership=abstain proportional-containment=abstain

teleology:
Governing practice is SRE incident-to-problem management plus durable outbox/liveness reconciliation: repeated liveness failures must dedupe by failure class and be fixed at the obligation producer. Root claim survives under that practice: #3361 records a real OutputObligationFailure with reason_class state-output-obligation-timeout, terminal_state blocked, and asks to diagnose/fix the unresolved obligation, not to mutate state directly (issue.json:1). The current source has a concrete, code-verifiable owner boundary: the blocked row declares the required output_obligation including github-proxy.github_issue_create_request[*] (.fkst/run/fkst-packages/libraries/devloop/restart/issue/transitions/blocked.lua:23). Recurrence is real because same-class closed escalations exist for #3352 and #3339 (board.txt:55, board.txt:57), but under the converge calibration that is a required narrowing: develop this only as a class-level, idempotent output-obligation/reconcile fix or document an explicit waiver; it is not enough evidence that the issue is false, unsafe, or unworkable.

parsimony:
Root claim fails: a #3344-specific escalation is the wrong unit for a repeated state-output-obligation-timeout liveness class. Established SRE/problem-management and durable outbox/state-machine practice says repeated timeout alerts should be deduped by class/fingerprint and fixed at the common producer/reconciler, unless a waiver proves this instance is exceptional. I do not accept proportional-containment's "narrowing, not rejection" attack because the proposal itself is framed as parent: aevatarAI/aevatar#3344 and "this blocked terminal" (issue.json:1), while the pinned recurrence history already records same-class closed escalations #3353 and #3341 (board.txt:55, board.txt:57) and gives no class-solution reframe or waiver. Current source also confirms this is a liveness-contract output path, not parent business logic: blocked is modeled with terminal = false and output_obligation in .fkst/run/fkst-packages/libraries/devloop/restart/issue/transitions/blocked.lua:19 and .fkst/run/fkst-packages/libraries/devloop/restart/issue/transitions/blocked.lua:23.

fidelity:
Established practice is SRE/problem-management dedupe: repeated liveness alerts should be handled by failure-class ownership/reconciliation, not new parent-specific incidents, unless a waiver explains why the repeat is intentionally local. I defend against proportional-containment's claim that this is merely a narrowing issue because the proposal is explicitly scoped to parent: aevatarAI/aevatar#3344 and asks why "this blocked terminal" still owes output, while the pinned recurrence record already contains same-class closed escalations #3353 and #3341 with the exact state-output-obligation-timeout pattern and no waiver (/Users/jasonwang/.local/state/fkst/aevatar/runtime/context/github-devloop-issue-aevatarAI-aevatar-3361/github-devloop-issue-aevatarAI-aevatar-3361-intake-2377687740/issue.json:1; /Users/jasonwang/.local/state/fkst/aevatar/runtime/context/github-devloop-issue-aevatarAI-aevatar-3361/github-devloop-issue-aevatarAI-aevatar-3361-intake-2377687740/board.txt:55; /Users/jasonwang/.local/state/fkst/aevatar/runtime/context/github-devloop-issue-aevatarAI-aevatar-3361/github-devloop-issue-aevatarAI-aevatar-3361-intake-2377687740/board.txt:57). Under the stated third-instance rule, that is an evidenced mis-scope, not a non-blocking ideal shortfall.

natural-ownership:
Governing practice is SRE/problem-management deduplication plus durable state-machine/outbox liveness: repeated timeout incidents are fixed by failure class at the obligation owner, not multiplied as per-parent work. The root peer attack is proportional-containment’s claim that the recurrence problem is only “narrowing, not rejection”; it fails because the prompt explicitly requires a class reframe or waiver on the third same-class instance. #3361 is still scoped to parent aevatarAI/aevatar#3344 and asks to diagnose “this blocked terminal” (issue.json:1), while the pinned closed history already shows same-class Escalate blocked output obligation: state-output-obligation-timeout escalations for #3352 and #3339 (board.txt:55, board.txt:57). That is evidenced mis-scope, not an ideal-only objection: reframe as the class-level state-output-obligation-timeout owner-side reconciler/fix, or carry an explicit waiver, before advancing.

proportional-containment:
Under SRE incident-to-problem management and durable outbox/state-machine reconciliation practice, repeated terminal-output liveness failures should be deduped by failure class and fixed at the common obligation owner. My Phase B treated recurrence as narrowing, but the peers correctly attacked the root claim: #3361 is still framed around one parent, aevatarAI/aevatar#3344, and asks to diagnose "this blocked terminal" (issue.json:1), while the pinned history already contains same-class Escalate blocked output obligation: state-output-obligation-timeout closures for #3352 and #3339 (board.txt:55; board.txt:57). With no explicit waiver, the proposal violates the supplied third-instance recurrence rule and is mis-scoped as another per-parent escalation rather than the required class-level output-obligation fix.
