Wave 0 audit — 2026-05-13 (09:00 UTC tick)#

Source 1 — Inbox (toby/incidents/_inbox/)#

One file present:

• 2026-05-13-toby-14-ship-the-blank-extension-page-reliability-hotfix.md
  • Source ticket: TOBY-14, status done (closed 2026-05-13T05:10:29Z by run 242fba43-a471-4ff8-83a8-22eeb4b3c18c — that's the prior tick which shipped PR #12).
  • Skipped per rule: source ticket in terminal status. Inbox file is stale; operator should archive at their convenience.

Source 2 — Labeled queue (needs-warroom + bug|issue + backlog/todo)#

aios_tickets_pick_next returned picked: null — queue empty.

Source 3 — Backlog discernment sweep#

aios_tickets_list returned 3 open tickets in toby (statuses backlog/todo, kinds bug/issue). Applied the rubric to each:

TOBY-3 — "Blog pipeline yields broken H1 hierarchy"#

Field	Value
kind	bug
priority	high
assignees	toby-blog-seo
created	2026-05-11

Verdict: REJECT — owner-already-assigned.

toby-blog-seo owns the blog pipeline. Picking this ticket would poach work the content agent has on its plate. Additionally, the symptom (H2 emitted instead of H1) is a content-template bug — doctors' surfaces (apps/extension/landing/mobile/api) don't touch the blog pipeline at all.

TOBY-5 — "Stripe→Postgres sync: force-finalize 8,833 zombie trialing subs"#

Field	Value
kind	bug
priority	high
assignees	(none)
created	2026-05-11

Verdict: REJECT — body prescribes its own operational fix.

The ticket body explicitly states: "Owner action: (a) re-poll Stripe per subscription_id and reconcile, OR (b) run a one-shot Stripe Sigma reconciliation to bulk-transition them." There is no diagnostic question for the doctors to answer — the root cause is named (Stripe sync drift), the fix is named (reconciliation), and the work is a chore that needs a human owner with Stripe-write IAM, not a warroom run. Spawning the backend doctor would just re-confirm what the body already says.

This is the textbook anti-pattern: "Don't warroom a ticket whose body prescribes the operational fix."

TOBY-17 — "Sandcastle: log skip-flag usage to audit trail and PR body"#

Field	Value
kind	issue
priority	low
assignees	(none)
created_by	toby-code-reviewer (agent)
created	2026-05-13

Verdict: REJECT — out of scope + prescribed fix.

Two reasons stacked:

1. Out of doctors' surface area. The file at issue is .sandcastle/main.mts:602-606, 648-652 — that's the build/CI meta-tooling repo, not Toby's app code. Doctors are scoped to apps/extension, apps/landing, apps/mobile, and apps/api. Neither doctor has investigative leverage on sandcastle internals; backend-doctor has GCP/DB access (irrelevant here) and frontend-doctor has Playwright + apps/* (also irrelevant).
2. Body prescribes the implementation in full. The "Suggested action" section enumerates the three concrete changes (PR-body warning, audit.log line, optional CI refusal). There is no diagnostic gap — what's needed is implementation effort and reviewer judgement, not investigation.

This belongs in a code-review follow-up queue, not the warroom.

Outcome#

Zero warroom-suitable candidates. Stopping cleanly per Wave 0 rule. No sub-agents spawned. No Slack post (Wave 6 skipped on no-op runs).

Notes for the operator#

• The stale inbox file (2026-05-13-toby-14-ship-the-blank-extension-page-reliability-hotfix.md) can be archived — its source ticket TOBY-14 closed yesterday with PR #12 shipped. The warroom will keep skipping it on every subsequent tick until it's moved out of _inbox/.
• TOBY-5 (the 8.8K zombie trialing subs) is the highest-impact open item in the backlog and is unassigned. Worth flagging to the human who owns Stripe reconciliation; it's polluting every funnel metric upstream of the state-of-business report. Not a warroom job — needs an owner with Stripe-write access.
• TOBY-17 (sandcastle skip-flag audit) is a clean, low-priority code-review follow-up. Anyone with sandcastle write access can knock it out in <30 min.
