Drive work units unattended

/goal /drive auto ok waits on. It asks one thing, and only when you are there to answer it : bare /drive is the attended form, which — when more than one unit is claimable or resumable — shows you the partition and asks once which units to take, drives them in the order you picked, and reports the rest as deferred (still claimable, so the run ends pending ). /drive auto is the unattended form, prompt-free at every step, and it is what the hourly routine and any /goal /drive auto ok loop invoke by name ( docs/drive-loop-runbook.md ); /drive night is a synonym of it. Which form runs follows from how you invoked it, never from a guess about whether anyone is watching. Nothing else is ever asked: not the partition, not each ticket. Approval is not a per-ticket prompt: it was given where the work was decided — a human merged the pull request that published the mission or ticket, and the merge policy recorded on it at creation says whether its completed units may merge unattended. Work is coordinated by the claim protocol — every runner reads the claims in flight from the unmerged remote branches, so two runners (or two machines) never pick the same work. There is no lock file and no server; the repository itself is the coordination medium |
