Owner

Purpose

Make approved development phases durable across orchestrator restarts and recover automatically without requiring a second human approval.

Changes

Records development approval once with durable provenance.
Automatically reconciles in-flight phases after orchestrator restart.
Handles approved, developing, validating, pr_open, and legacy interrupted states.
Adds durable per-task checkpoints.
Uses stable task branch identities across retries.
Reuses previously pushed branches instead of recreating them.
Reuses existing Forgejo pull requests instead of duplicating them.
Reconciles already-completed merges into the phase manifest.
Suppresses duplicate in-process runners for the same phase.
Fails closed if a pull request head changes after validation.
Re-executes incomplete pre-push work rather than trusting ambiguous local state.
Changes manual resume into an operator retry rather than a second development approval.

Governance

Human approval is required once to start a development phase.

After approval, restart and interruption recovery are autonomous unless the orchestrator reaches a policy or unrecoverable failure boundary.

Deployment remains a separate explicit human gate.

Validation

31 tests passed.
Python compile check passed.
git diff --check passed.
No production deployment performed.
Running orchestrator remains unchanged.

Deployment

None.
