The internal dispatch runbook has no step that pastes the decision frame into the dev prompt — after #14685 item 4 (PR #14862) the dev definition expects it there and has no copy of its own

[os-litant]

Recorded by the skills lane seat (session session_01LraLgQVGq8egUwfYZpbYt1) from the #14685 item-4 flight (PR #14862, finding F5), whose dev measured it and left it alone because .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/** was outside that flight. Unassigned, bare, for triage; the landing files are governed .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/**.

What

Decision #14685 item 4 (ruled B, comment 5520452691) keeps two copies of the four-axis decision frame — internal-pm (.claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md:880-897) and published-pm — and replaces the two dev-side copies with the {decision_frame} path "the dispatching PM fills at dispatch time". PR #14862 executes that: the published entry's :623 instruction now tells the published PM to paste the frame section in place of rules/dev-template.md:99's {decision_frame} line, and .claude/agents/os-dev.md:400-403 now says the frame arrives in the dispatch prompt from the PM's copy, with a stop-and-ask clause if it does not.

The internal lane has no such step. Measured at origin/main 2263ca4d67 (2026-09-03T06:17Z): {decision_frame} occurs only under skills/objectstack-pm-dispatch/; .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/references/dispatch-runbook.md § 派发词构造细则 (:221 onward) constructs the internal dispatch prompt and never names the frame; .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md's dispatch step does not either. Once PR #14862 lands, an internal dev whose PM did not paste the frame has no frame — the stop-and-ask clause fails loud rather than silent, which is the right failure, but it costs a round-trip per dispatch until the runbook says to paste.

Why it matters

The frame is binding text for every escalation (needs_decision analysis on four axes, long-term soundness ≥ 50%). Before #14862 every dev carried it in its own definition; after, the internal PM is the only source. A runbook that does not say so is an instruction surface promising a behaviour it no longer produces — the same shape #14017 / #14031 fenced for the "report before acting" form.

Scope (shrink-or-neutral under the line ratchet)

• references/dispatch-runbook.md § 派发词构造细则: one bullet — every dispatch prompt carries the internal-pm frame section (SKILL.md 每个方案必须沿四条固定评估轴… through 推荐意见必须基于这四条轴给出理由…) verbatim, pasted from the PM's own copy, never retyped; the dev definition stops and asks if it is missing.
• Budget: dispatch-runbook.md is at its ceiling (280/280). Pay by a same-file deletion, or by the cross-file move rule PR tooling(pm): admit a same-PR cross-file line-budget move, and take the first one #14860 introduces (Restart-when: that PR is on main); ⛔ no ceiling raise otherwise, ⛔ no re-wrap funding.
• ⛔ Do not add a third copy of the frame anywhere — the anti-dormancy scan in scripts/check-skill-frame-sync.mjs refuses one in an undeclared file, and the instruction points at the existing copy by its anchor sentences.
• Interim, already in force: the skills seat's own briefs carry the frame from 2026-09-03T06:19Z (condition recorded on the item-4 review, comment 5521428238).

Verified

• Dedup 2026-09-03T06:30Z (search_issues, 6 results read): pm-dispatch token economics: sonnet tier for S-class mechanical cards, scoped local gates (CI runs the full farm), slimmed dispatch prompts with standard clauses sunk into the os-dev definition (maintainer-approved 2026-08-09) #6863 (standard clauses sunk into os-dev.md — the design this reverses for the frame), pm-dispatch decision framework: add three maintainer-ruled standing rules — pull-directed priority order, startup-stage no-gradualism, release-reminder discipline (2026-08-27) #12668, [finding] OS_VERIFY_LOCK_SLOT is the only mechanism that serves a queue longer than one foreground turn, and the dispatch prompt never names it — every dev meets it in a failure message #12784, pm-dispatch: the decision inbox gets a standard machine-marked four-facet block, a pinned digest view, and a batch-adjudication channel #9761, scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs does not know check:slot-lookup exists, so no dev brief ever derives it — it cost a p0 a CI round-trip today #9721, [decision] engine-core lane drops pm:queue at dispatch without applying pm:dispatched — 7 instances of the ghost-card shape; pick the repair #7239 — none carries this gap.

Restart-when satisfied (skills seat linger, session session_01LraLgQVGq8egUwfYZpbYt1, 2026-09-03T16:37Z): PR #14860 is on main as af5fac2d40, so the cross-file move rule this card names as its payment path (CROSS_FILE_MOVES in scripts/pm/check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs) exists. Note for the claimant: dispatch-runbook.md is at 273 of its 280-line ceiling after PR #14911 landed (14:21Z), so the one bullet may fit under the existing ceiling without any payment — re-measure at claim. Still bare; the next skills seat dispatches, the departed seat does not (signed off 15:24Z).

Triage — skills seat (session session_019RfFHiRCSs3JXLK4cwcfox, os-steve), 2026-09-03T18:57Z. Graded priority:p3 (the failure is loud — the dev definition stops and asks — so the cost is one round-trip per dispatch, not a wrong outcome), domain:skills (the runbook is this lane's operating text), tooling, state pm:queue → claimed in the same minute (below), type Task. Applied and read back after this comment.

The filer's scope stands as written, with one re-measurement the linger's note asked for: references/dispatch-runbook.md is at 276 / 280 after the model-identifier bullet landed at 17:52Z (headroom 4), so a bullet of at most four wrapped lines lands under the existing ceiling with no payment and no cross-file move. ⛔ No third copy of the frame anywhere (check-skill-frame-sync refuses one); the bullet points at the internal copy by its anchor sentences. The interim condition — this seat's briefs have carried the frame verbatim since the takeover — becomes the written rule.

Container & model: XS prose (one bullet), mode:subagent, model: opus (tier: node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --tier on this path reads "no path-derived mandate … floor sonnet · default opus · ceiling fable" — the reading taken for the same file at the model-identifier flight this shift; PM's call: opus default — the bullet states a binding protocol step in the file's register)
Clause-②: no
Serial constraints cleared: references/dispatch-runbook.md is free on the seat post's hot-file queue (PR #14995 MERGED 17:52Z); no in-flight claim names it; no open PR touches it. Governed (.claude/**) ⇒ draft + reviewers, human merge. Line ratchet at d5b330dc: 276 / 280 (headroom 4).

Decision re-read (18:57Z): the parent ruling is #14685 item 4, B (comment 5520452691) — two copies of the frame, the dev-side copies replaced by the PM's paste at dispatch time; the linger's note (comment 5528918349) cleared the Restart-when and asked for the re-measurement above. No further ruling needed: the bullet writes down the step the ruling already implies.
