Problem

The change-auditor dispatch 347 for implementation 32 (ticket #703, target os) wrote handoff 345 whose content describes ticket #702 BodyFetch in os-sdlc, not ticket #703 finish_command.rb in os. The seam-designer dispatch 348 detected the mismatch and returned verdict:error, yielding implementation_failed. The root cause is unknown: either the SubagentStart hook injected stale #702 content into the brief, or the agent read the wrong ticket itself.

Observed

Handoff 345 (created by dispatch 347) summarizes "BodyFetch#os_backlog_bin resolves the os-backlog binary via PATH through a new BinaryLocator..." — this is ticket #702 behavior, not #703.

Handoff 346 (by dispatch 348) verdict:error states "Packet is inconsistent: the change-auditor handoff (id 345) audits ticket #702 BodyFetch in os-sdlc, not ticket #703 finish_command.rb in os; no seam is chosen."

Reproduce

n/a: needs the hook payload for dispatch 347. First step: check what SubagentStart injected. Review the os-sdlc-runner brief for dispatch 347, and compare the dispatches and handoffs tables for implementation 31 (#702, hand-finished) vs implementation 32 (#703, now failed).

Origin

Trigger: /os-sdlc:implement 703 executed right after hand-finishing #702 in the same session (082c3e8b-5598-4c69-9ea6-b717e9c8afb2)
Improvised this session: none; implementation 32 was opened as a fresh worktree implementation for ticket #703
Chain: seam-designer error ← change-auditor handoff for wrong ticket ← UNKNOWN whether stale brief injection (hook) or agent misread
Root candidate: this ticket
Where: plugins/os-sdlc/hooks/subagent_start.rb and lib/os_sdlc/hook (brief builder)
Session: 082c3e8b-5598-4c69-9ea6-b717e9c8afb2

Re-diagnosis 2026-09-28: the brief for dispatch 347 named ticket 703 and contained no 702 content (subagent transcript line 0). Handoff 345 is a byte-identical copy of handoff 333. The agent's heredoc write of scratchpad/handoff.json was refused by the worktree isolation guard, the stale file from dispatch 335 remained, subagent-stop rejected it as StaleDispatch for dispatch 335, the agent removed dispatch_id and re-sent it, and the session-path fallback in query/completion_intake/lookup.rb bound it to dispatch 347. Root cause is the fallback accepting a payload with no dispatch_id; proposed fix is to require dispatch_id on manual stop calls and exit 3 without it.

Resolution

Done: manual subagent-stop requires dispatch_id; the session fallback serves only the native hook; charters pipe the handoff directly

Evidence: commits 964642c5 972a40ec on main; two red tests named above; suite 1320 runs 0 failures; earlier comment on this ticket holds the re-diagnosis

Follow-ups: none
