Summary

Closes #1196.

gather_evidence rendered a global/baseline teammate (globals/agents/
operations, page_builder, researcher, writer) identically to a
teammate the company authored itself, so the planner could tie a company role
against the baseline padding every company carries. Since #1106, a tie parks
the card and asks a person — but a company that has already staffed a role
itself has already answered that question.

Per the issue thread's resolved shape (host-side precedence, not a prompt-only
nudge — see the discussion on #1196), this adds a prefer_company_over_baseline
pass, run right after resolve_assignee_candidates in run_planning_pass
(src/harness/built_in/planning.rs). It only acts when the candidate set mixes
a company-authored teammate with a baseline one: the baseline candidate(s) are
dropped, so the pass either collapses to a single proposal (dispatches, no
park) or, in the two-company or two-baseline cases, is untouched (still
parks — #1106 unchanged). resolve_assignee_candidates itself is untouched —
it still only validates names.

Also carries Agent::global into TeammateBrief and renders it in the
planner's roster prompt (— from the shared baseline), so the model has that
provenance as evidence too, even though the tie itself is resolved
host-side.

API Or Behavior Changes

Tests

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --lib --features openhuman -- -D warnings
  • cargo test --lib --features openhuman (4657 passed, 0 failed)
  • cargo build --all-targets (not run — --lib build/test/clippy covers the changed module; happy to run the full target set if CI flags a gap)

New/updated tests in src/harness/built_in/planning/test.rs:

  • a_company_teammate_beats_a_baseline_tie_and_dispatches_without_parking
  • two_baseline_teammates_still_park_with_both
  • prefer_company_over_baseline_drops_only_a_true_mixed_tie (unit-level)

Documentation

No docs reference this prompt behavior directly; none updated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved assignee selection when company-authored and baseline candidates are both eligible.
    • Company-authored candidates now take precedence in mixed ties, while ties among baseline candidates remain unresolved.
    • Cards with unresolved teammate or desk ties continue to be parked for review.
    • Added baseline provenance to planning context to improve assignment decisions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Planning now distinguishes baseline teammates from company-authored teammates during assignee resolution. Mixed ties prefer company-authored teammates. Baseline-only ties, company-only ties, desk ties, and lone baseline candidates remain unchanged. Tests cover evidence, prompts, dispatch, and parking.

Changes

Planning teammate provenance and precedence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evidence provenance and prompt rendering
src/harness/built_in/planning/test.rs
The evidence fixture propagates each agent’s global flag. Prompt tests verify that baseline teammates are marked as shared-baseline entries.
Candidate precedence and validation
src/harness/built_in/planning.rs, src/harness/built_in/planning/test.rs
Planning classifies baseline agents, company-authored agents, overlays, and desks. It removes baseline candidates only from mixed company/baseline ties. Tests verify dispatch, parking, and unchanged desk-related cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b0e91

The PR automatically dispatches cards when a company-authored teammate ties with a shared-baseline teammate instead of parking them for human resolution. The change is bounded and mergeable, but owners should explicitly confirm that company-authored provenance is intended to authorize this automatic tie-break.

Poem

A rabbit marks the roster clear,
Shared-baseline teammates now appear.
Company choices lead mixed ties,
Equal choices keep the question wise.
Desks and lone baselines stay in place. 🐇

Pushed a commit addressing the actionable review comment (direct test coverage that the roster prompt marks a baseline teammate with "— from the shared baseline" and does not mis-mark a company-authored one).

Re: the failing Rust / Rust (mongodb) / Rust (openhuman, tinycortex) / Gated host binary checks — this is not caused by this PR. Cargo.lock on main (unchanged by this branch) pins openhuman = "0.63.11", but the vendor/openhuman submodule commit currently recorded in the tree (ded703dd) is itself version 0.63.9. Any --locked build fails on that mismatch. Confirmed this is pre-existing: the identical base commit (7eb2e083) has both a passing and a failing main-branch CI run with the exact same "cannot update the lock file" error, and two reruns on this PR reproduce it identically. Not something I should paper over by editing Cargo.lock in an unrelated issue's PR — flagging for a maintainer to re-sync the submodule pin and lockfile on main.

tinyhumansai#1196)

Resolves the tinyhumansai#1106 park-and-ask for the specific tie tinyhumansai#1196 reports: a global
baseline teammate (globals/agents/) plausibly fits alongside a role the
company staffed itself. The company has already expressed a preference by
staffing that role, so the baseline candidate is dropped and the card
dispatches instead of parking. A tie between two baseline teammates, or
between two company teammates, is untouched — tinyhumansai#1106's park-and-ask stands.

Carries Agent::global into TeammateBrief so the planner's roster prompt also
distinguishes a baseline teammate ("— from the shared baseline").

…mansai#1196)

Addresses CodeRabbit review: prefer_company_over_baseline classified any
non-baseline candidate id as company-side, so a desk (which resolves to
neither) could count as "company" and wrongly trigger dropping a genuine
baseline teammate from a tie the company never actually resolved. Replaced the
boolean classifier with a three-way Provenance (Baseline / Company / neither)
so a desk stays neutral on both sides — it neither triggers the drop nor is
dropped by it.

Pushed a fix for the CodeRabbit finding: `prefer_company_over_baseline` was classifying any non-baseline id (including a desk, which is neither a company teammate nor a baseline one) as "company-side" — so a tie like `[desk, baseline-teammate]` could wrongly drop the baseline candidate even though no genuine company-authored teammate was actually in the mix. Replaced the boolean check with a three-way classification (Baseline / Company / neither) so a desk is neutral on both sides. Added the requested `[sam, studio]`-style test plus verified the existing teammate-only cases are unchanged. 52/52 tests pass, clippy clean.
