Closes #3 and #4. Both specs had gaps that only appeared on contact, which is worth recording because it is evidence for the plan-quality question in #10: - `enqueue(&[DiscoveredIssue])` cannot know a JobKind. It is derivable from labels, so the store now carries the LabelProtocol and core gained `job_kind_for`. The precedence when an operator applies several mode labels had to be decided: plan beats implement, because planning produces the implementation children and so loses nothing, while the reverse silently discards the decomposition that was also asked for. - `claim_next(worker, allowed_lanes)` had no lane to filter on. Migration 0002 adds one, recorded at enqueue by `routing::lane_for` — the same function `route` now delegates to, so the two cannot drift. Deriving it at claim time instead would mean a forge request per claim, since labels are not stored. - `list_opted_in_issues` returned a bare Vec with nowhere to put the ETag that #4's own step 3 requires, so a caller could not make the next poll conditional. It returns an `IssuePage` now, which also carries `not_modified` — a 304 is not an empty repo, and a poller that conflated them would treat every quiet poll as every issue having disappeared. The claim is one statement: a CTE takes the row lock with SKIP LOCKED and the update writes the claim, so select and update share a transaction without managing one by hand. Returning a job to pending clears the claim, because `pending_holds_no_claim` refuses the half-done version — the database is what makes lease expiry safe rather than the code remembering to. Enum values round-trip through serde rather than a hand-written match, so the schema's check constraints and the Rust types are provably one vocabulary. Also replaced a test from #2 that asserted exactly one migration exists. It failed on the first legitimate migration, which teaches people to edit the assertion rather than think. It now asserts what it was reaching for: versions unique and ascending. Verified against Postgres 18 — 15 database tests covering enqueue idempotency across repeated polls, lane filtering including the agent:oc override, claim metadata, lease expiry and reclaim, terminal jobs refusing transition, renewal requiring you still hold the claim, and re-routing a queued job when its labels change. Plus 12 mock-forge tests: If-None-Match sent and 304 distinguished from empty, ETag surfaced, 429 retried but bounded, 503 retried then succeeding, 404 not retried, pull requests filtered out, and every unimplemented write failing without touching the forge.

tireless
Keeps several repositories moving without an operator driving each change by hand. It watches Gitea (and GitHub, for legacy repos) and does three things:
- discovers — surveys a repo and proposes issues worth opening;
- plans — decomposes an issue into an epic and child issues, each specified well enough for a model that cannot ask questions;
- implements — produces a branch and a pull request.
Those chain into a loop with exactly two human gates: a person decides what enters the system, and a person decides what merges. Discovery proposes but never admits its own proposals; nothing merges itself.
Two coding agents do the work, each spawned as the vendor's own binary:
- Claude Code — discovery, planning, and implementation of issues that need interpretation. Uses the operator's Claude subscription by default, or pay-as-you-go if an API key is supplied.
- OpenCode — implementation of issues that a tireless plan already specified, against the self-hosted helexa fleet. Never Anthropic; enforced at startup.
The rule of thumb: Claude Code gets judgement, OpenCode gets specification.
Full design, constraints and the staged implementation plan:
doc/plan/design.md.
Status
Stage 0 (foundations) is built, deployed and verified.
Working: the domain model, routing, budgets, plan validation, the policy guards,
configuration loading and validation, the four system prompts, and preflight.
All three units run on bob, the dashboard is served at
https://tireless.internal, and the deploy workflow is green end to end.
Nothing is polled or claimed yet — that is stage 1. The runner is up but has no job store to claim from.
Not built: Postgres persistence, the forge clients, the poll loop, and every agent executor. Stages 1–8 in §7 of the design document say what lands when.
tireless is its own first tracked repo — see design.md §10 for what that implies, including which parts of this repo are deliberately routed to the stronger lane.
Build
cargo test --workspace
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --all
cd dashboard && npm ci && npm run lint && npm run build
Run locally
cargo run -p tireless-api -- --config ./config.toml
cargo run -p tireless-worker -- --config ./config.toml poll
cargo run -p tireless-worker -- --config ./config.toml run
cd dashboard && npm run dev # proxies /v1 to 127.0.0.1:23296
tireless preflight verifies configuration and credentials without starting a
service: it reports which billing mode a Claude Code run would use and asserts
the OpenCode lane is not pointed at Anthropic.
Deploy
CI-driven via Gitea Actions on merge to main
(architecture/deployment-gitea-actions.md). One-time host provisioning —
including the interactive Claude Code login and the Gitea bot account — is
script/infra-setup.sh.
| Host | bob.hanzalova.internal (binaries, units, job trees) |
| API port | 23296 (registered in architecture/port-allocations.md), bound 0.0.0.0, mesh-only |
| Ingress | nginx on the hanzalova proxy — not on bob |
| Dashboard | https://tireless.internal (mesh only), served from the proxy |
| Database | magrathea.kosherinata.internal:5432, mTLS |
Conventions
Follows lair/architecture;
generic.md is the baseline. Three deliberate deviations:
tireless-agentcrate beyond the standard entities/core/data split. Process orchestration is not data access, and it is shared by the runner and the CLI. (§1)MemoryDenyWriteExecute=falseontireless-runner. Both agents are Node programs and V8's JIT needs write-then-execute pages. The API and poller keep the setting. (§8)AGENTS.mdis a symlink toCLAUDE.md. Both agents look for their own filename and the instructions are identical; a symlink is the only version of this that cannot drift.
