NestQuest controller

OpenCode 1.18.31 loads the three named agents from .opencode/agents/. Their models match the current NestQuest CTXD prompt (version 6): DeepSeek V4.1 Flash for controller and approver, GLM 5.3 Flash for development. The controller runs one OpenCode turn at a time, then starts a fresh turn based on Maestro, CTXD, Git, and pull-request state. Its state file is ~/.local/state/nestquest-controller/last-run.json (mode 0600). A lock allows only one controller process. It waits while an interactive OpenCode session is open for the NestQuest checkout.

scripts/nq-agent launches developer and approver sessions with fixed agent definitions and no --auto flag. Headless OpenCode runs use --pure so the global idle-notification plugin does not notify on every controller tick. The approver's shell permission permits only the installed nq-approve-merge broker for Gitea. That broker requires exact-head Claude approval evidence, an exact-head Gitea approval by review_agent, the dev target, a mergeable PR, and passing configured checks before it requests a squash merge. scripts/nq-review launches the independent Claude review in the task worktree, checks the head again afterward, saves the output under /tmp/opencode, and posts the Gitea approval. The approver verifies the reviewed head again before a merge.

The production service uses a stable copy of this configuration and scripts at /home/overseer/.local/share/nestquest-controller; it does not depend on which task branch is checked out in the primary NestQuest directory. Install that copy, run scripts/nq-controller --check, and verify all three agents with opencode debug agent <name> while OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR points at the installed .opencode directory. Install deploy/nestquest-controller.service under ~/.config/systemd/user/, then enable it with systemctl --user. The host has lingering enabled for the overseer user. The service waits for an open interactive NestQuest session to close before starting work.

The CTXD preflight reads the configured HTTP/MCP server's NestQuest prompt. It deliberately does not inspect /home/overseer/.ctx/ctxd.db, which belongs to a different local store and lacks this project.

All four agent credentials are currently readable by the same Unix account. The Gitea review and merge gates enforce normal workflow sequencing, but they are not a hard isolation boundary against a process running as that account. Strong isolation requires separate OS identities and protected credentials for the controller, reviewer, and approver.

A tick has an explicit six-hour timeout. On timeout or an OpenCode error, the next tick must reconcile external state before acting. Three consecutive failed ticks stop the service. A BLOCKED verdict also stops it. QUIESCENT causes a five-minute poll. Neither a feature merge nor a progress report stops the controller while eligible work remains.

Do not put tokens in this repository or in unit files. Existing OpenCode MCP connections supply CTXD and Maestro. Rotate those MCP tokens as a coordinated operation across every consumer before revoking the old values.
