The blueprint does not document the thread-stack dump feature that writes diagnostic traces to ~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt when daemon_ingest_stalled is detected. This local diagnostic collection and persistence is undocumented implementation detail that should be reflected in the blueprint's architecture or explicitly called out as a local-only diagnostic mechanism.

The code now writes thread-stack dumps to ~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt when daemon_ingest_stalled is detected, but this local diagnostic persistence mechanism is not documented in the blueprint.

Same gap as the earlier blueprint finding. Once the requirement's out-of-scope clause is amended (see reply on the requirement thread), the blueprint update needs one line in its architecture section: "On daemon_ingest_stalled, the watchdog thread writes all current thread stacks to ~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt (local-only, never transmitted) to capture the blocking frame for future diagnosis." Both findings clear together.

The code writes diagnostic thread-stack dumps to ~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt when daemon_ingest_stalled fires. The requirement's "Explicitly out of scope" section states "Any raw diagnostic content: sync.log stays on the machine," and this feature was not approved in acceptance criteria AC-FFR-005.1 through AC-FFR-005.9.

This is the blocking finding. The requirement's "Explicitly out of scope" clause and the missing AC coverage mean this change is not yet approved in the product record.
I initially committed a revert of the diagnostic dump on this basis, but pulled it back after seeing that the maintainer added two commits validating the dump (308539d — CI lint check, 6237b4f — AST guard test). Those commits assume the diagnostic write stays, so reverting would break them.
The right path forward: the maintainer needs to amend the Factory requirement to either remove the "Any raw diagnostic content" exclusion or add a scoped carve-out for local-only stall diagnostics, and add a new AC (AC-FFR-005.10 or similar) covering the dump. Once the requirement is updated the Drift Bot finding will clear and the E2E Gate will go green.
This automated session doesn't have Factory authentication to make that edit directly.

The Drift Bot check is failing because the code changes on this branch go beyond what the current Blueprint in 8090 Software Factory describes. This cannot be fixed with a code change — the Blueprint in 8090 Software Factory needs to be updated to match the scope of this PR, then Drift Bot will re-run and pass. Action required: Update the Blueprint in 8090 Software Factory to cover the changes in this PR, then re-run the Drift Bot check. Generated by Claude Code |

The Drift Bot verifies that the PR diff does not contradict an 8090 Factory Blueprint. This cannot be resolved by a code change alone — it requires the Factory Blueprint to be updated to cover the changes in this diff, or the diff to be reconciled with the existing Blueprint. No CI fix is possible from this side. Generated by Claude Code |

A gate check cannot legitimately fail in 10 seconds before lint has run — this is the aggregating gate firing "failed" because the constituent jobs were cancelled.

When the stall watchdog fires daemon_ingest_stalled it now also writes all current thread stacks to ~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt before reporting the failure. The file is local-only (never transmitted) and shows the main loop's last Python frame before whatever syscall or lock it was blocked in — the missing signal needed to distinguish an AV-locked DuckDB write from a hanging WMI call on Windows+py3.13. The dump is wrapped in its own try/except inside the watchdog's existing try/except, so it cannot interfere with the stall reporter.

Adds tests/test_sync_stall_diag.py -- an AST-based regression guard (same approach as test_sync_cycle_fault_isolation.py) that verifies: - _report_if_ingest_stalled contains a nested try block writing daemon_stall_diag.txt after report_daemon_failure fires - the nested try calls sys._current_frames() and format_stack - the dump includes "--- Thread" separators for readability - the outer except Exception is still present (watchdog never dies) Also adds the test to the lint job in ci.yml so it runs in CI.

Test plan & review notes
Repo: vivekchand/clawmetry
What changed
clawmetry/sync.py:449— ondaemon_ingest_stalled, the watchdog thread now writes a full thread-stack dump to~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt(local-only, never transmitted) so the blocking call is captured for diagnosis. Motivated by the 2026-07-30 RCA where a 465-session backfill blocked heartbeats for ~2m40s with no diagnostic trail.
Current CI state (as of 2026-09-16)
- E2E Gate: ❌ FAILURE (failed at 15:14 UTC today — only blocker is
drift-bot) - All 46 individual CI jobs: ✅ pass
The Drift Bot blocker
Drift Bot has posted the same two findings on every push since Sept 13 — it is deterministic, not a flake:
- The Daemon Field-Failure Reporting requirement explicitly marks "Any raw diagnostic content: sync.log stays on the machine" as out of scope, and the thread-stack dump feature is not in AC-FFR-005.1–005.9.
- The Blueprint doesn't document the
daemon_stall_diag.txtwrite.
To unblock — pick one path:
- Preferred: Update the Factory requirement to add an acceptance criterion for the thread-stack dump (e.g.
AC-FFR-005.10: On daemon_ingest_stalled, write all thread stacks to ~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt (local only, never transmitted)), and update the Blueprint to document it. This captures the diagnostic value the July RCA showed was missing. - Alternative: Remove the
daemon_stall_diag.txtwrite from this PR and keep the scope of the requirement as-is. The stall detection itself (without the stack dump) already has value and passes without a Factory change.
Smoke commands
make test # or make test-api for the fast path
# Simulate a stall and confirm the diag file appears:
python3 -c "
import clawmetry.sync as s
# Check the stall-detection path writes the file (see sync.py:~449)
print('stall path exists in sync.py:', hasattr(s, '_write_stall_diag'))
"
ls -la ~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt # should appear after a real stallLikely failure modes from the diff
- If
traceback.format_stack()is called on a thread that's already exited, it may return an empty string — confirm the dump is non-empty in normal stall scenarios - File write on a full disk will raise silently; should be wrapped in a
try/except
Generated by Claude Code
The daemon_stall_diag.txt write added in #5932 is explicitly outside the scope of the Daemon Field-Failure Reporting requirement (AC-FFR-005.*). The requirement states raw diagnostic content stays in sync.log on the machine; writing a separate file is a new surface Drift Bot correctly flagged as undeclared. Remove the 20-line try-block from _report_if_ingest_stalled, the test file that exercised it, and the CI step that ran it.

Summary
When
daemon_ingest_stalledfires, the field-failure reporter correctly captures only the closed-enum class -- but that leaves zero stack information about WHERE the daemon hung. On the single Windows + Python 3.13 event in #5932, the maintainer's diagnosis already identifies two candidate causes (AV-locked DuckDB file, WMI call that never returns), but without a stack we can't tell them apart.This PR makes the next occurrence diagnosable: immediately after
_fr.report_daemon_failurefires, the watchdog thread captures all current thread stacks viasys._current_frames()+traceback.format_stackand writes them to~/.clawmetry/daemon_stall_diag.txt. The file is local-only, never transmitted, and includes the Python version and platform so the report is self-contained.Changes
