CAROL-INI-0099-00: [ALBUS-AUTO] exec_id guard in orchestrator harness

Initiative

📖About

Albus self-heal triage: PE-DEV-01 review failed on exec None for INI-None step None. Albus classified as TOOLING-BUG: the work output existed but the reviewer could not see it.

Albus diagnosis: The orchestrator harness _open_droid_run() in po_s1.py silently returns None when exec_id is missing (line ~134), and _close_droid_run() silently skips when run_id is None (line ~169). This means the droid run is never recorded in droid_runs, producing undiagnosable '(no dev run)' failures with no metadata. Per Pillar 4 (RIGHT > quick), the durable fix is to add exec_id validation that fails loudly at dispatch time, not to retry blindly. Per Pillar 1 (GOAL — team self-sufficiency), this fix prev Fix description: Add exec_id validation in po_s1.py's _call_droid() and _open_droid_run() to raise a clear error when exec_id is None/falsy instead of silently returning None. Also add a fallback in _close_droid_run() that logs the failure to stderr/logger when run_id is None so that even if the guard is somehow bypassed, the failure is still visible. This ensures all droid executions are either properly recorded or fail loudly with a diagnosable error, eliminating the class of 'ghost execution' failures that pr Files to edit: 2 file(s).

Per cookbook #3 ALBUS SELF-HEALING SCOPE: this initiative is autonomously created and bypass-executed by Albus (al-tr-01). Single attempt only — failure escalates to Orion via the Escalation Queue (CAROL-INI-048).

⚖️Decisions

  • Classify failure as TOOLING-BUG and apply mechanical pipeline fix. — The orchestrator harness _open_droid_run() in po_s1.py silently returns None when exec_id is missing (line ~134), and _close_droid_run() silently skips when run_id is None (line ~169). This means the droid run is never recorded in droid_runs, producing undiagnosable '(no dev run)' failures with no metadata. Per Pillar 4 (RIGHT > quick), the durable fix is to add exec_id validation that fails loudly at dispatch time, not to retry blindly. Per Pillar 1 (GOAL — team self-sufficiency), this fix prev (Albus (al-tr-01))

Success criteria

  • All 2 file edits applied (verified by re-reading files). (must_have)
  • Retried exec for INI-None step None flips status=completed and SP-01 verdict=pass. (must_have)
