From 25ce062138e3db6847174ddd47304eb82a172b32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Molecule AI Dev Engineer B (MiniMax)" Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 08:15:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(core#2724): workspace-server ack-first directive (concierge prompt + platform_instruction seed) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CTO directive: workspace agents should immediately send a one-line ack + plan via send_message_to_user before any multi-second task, then do the work. Distinct from workspace-runtime PR #129 (molecule-ai-workspace-runtime, head 3d0319e8, CR2-approved) which adds the same directive to the runtime/MCP capabilities preamble. This PR covers the two workspace-server surfaces the runtime preamble doesn't reach: the concierge prompt and the platform_instructions seed (which the runtime reads via GET /workspaces/:id/instructions/resolve for every agent). (1) New seed migration 20260613081005_platform_instructions_ack_first_seed.up.sql Inserts a global-scope platform_instruction with the ack-first directive (priority=100 so it lands near the top of the concatenated prompt). ON CONFLICT (scope, scope_target, title) DO NOTHING — operator edits on production survive a re-apply. (2) Concierge prompt update in workspace-server/internal/handlers/platform_agent.go:86 The 'Report back clearly' section now opens with an explicit 'Acknowledge first, then work' instruction (replacing the prior 'progress on long-running work' line, which only covered mid-turn progress notes — not the turn-start ack). This is the ONE workspace-server surface the runtime MCP preamble doesn't reach (the concierge runs on the dedicated platform-agent image, not the runtime/MCP template). Tests (2 new, all green): - TestConciergeSystemPrompt_IncludesAckFirstDirective: pins the ack-first directive + the 'On it' example + the 'Report back clearly' section header (so a future refactor that drops the directive OR moves it out of the synthesis step fails here). - TestInstructionsResolve_PicksUpAckFirstSeed: pins the resolver's delivery path — the global-scope row lands in the 'Platform-Wide Rules' section (NOT the workspace-scoped 'Role-Specific Rules' section; a global row in the workspace section would be a silent scoping bug). The workspace-runtime#129 /app/executor.py:159 developerInstructions handoff is a third (separate) surface and is deliberately deferred — folded into a follow-up runtime-repo ask rather than scattered across two repos in this PR.

PostgreSQL's ON CONFLICT (cols) syntax requires one. Fix: replace ON CONFLICT with INSERT ... WHERE NOT EXISTS (the pattern CR2 recommended). Idempotency contract is preserved (operator edits on production survive a re-apply), no schema change, no migration-ordering risk. Secondary test gap (also flagged in CR2 #11374): the TestInstructionsResolve_PicksUpAckFirstSeed test mocks a resolver row rather than reading the actual migration SQL, so it would NOT have caught the ON CONFLICT regression. Two new tests close that gap: 1. TestPlatformInstructionsAckFirstSeed_NoOnConflict — reads the seed migration's .up.sql from disk, strips -- line comments (so doc comments mentioning ON CONFLICT for context don't false-positive), and asserts: - ON CONFLICT must NOT appear in SQL - WHERE NOT EXISTS must appear in SQL The shape is pinned at unit-test time; a future contributor who reaches for ON CONFLICT (because the table now has a unique constraint, or by habit) gets a clear test failure pointing at CR2 #11374. 2. TestPlatformInstructionsSchema_HasNoUniqueConstraintOnScopeTargetTitle — a stub for now (sqlmock can't introspect the schema for actual unique constraints; the real safety net is the post-merge migration-apply test in staging). Documented in the test body so the next contributor who adds a unique constraint knows the test needs updating. If/when a unique constraint IS added to the table, the seed can be simplified back to ON CONFLICT (the test pins this transition).
