Problem (the DM / top-level read-down gap)

Inbound DMs and top-level channel messages never materialize on disk, so their event-preview shows "Message: unavailable." Root cause is purely mount config, not cloud/daemon:

  • The messages (/slack/channels/<id>/messages) and users (/slack/users/<U>/messages) mounts run sync=write-only (confirmed in mount.log + state.json). A write-only mount pushes our send-writeback command files up but does zero remote→local pulls (eventsCursor:null, lastEventAt:null, daemon never calls pullRemote). So inbound content never reads down.
  • Only the threads context root is sync=mirror — which is exactly why thread replies read down (verified post cloud#2010) but top-level/DMs do not.
  • The event-preview "targeted read" reads the local mounted file; on a write-only surface that file never exists → "unavailable."

Confirmed jointly with relayfile-worker (daemon: write-only ⇒ no pulls, ever) and cloud-worker (/slack/users/<U>/messages/<ts>/meta.json is a real readable committed file, feed emits the correct /users/U path). So this is not cross-namespace, not alias/projection, not a read-404 — the mount simply never asks.

Root cause in code: mountSpecsFor set syncMode: isSlackWritebackCommandRoot(mountPath) ? 'write-only' : 'mirror'. The messages/users roots are dual-purpose (writeback command root and inbound read surface), so write-only disabled their read-down leg.

Fix

Mount all Slack roots mirror. Per relayfile-worker (daemon source): mirror is a strict superset of write-onlypushLocal (dispatch) is byte-identical; mirror only adds the inbound pull. So send-writebacks still dispatch while inbound now reads down, matching the proven threads mount. A fresh mirror full pull also backfills the DMs/messages missed while write-only.

  • Durable cloud path-correctness for channel messages already shipped in cloud#2010 (deployed); DMs use the cloud#1997 D→U mapping. So messages→mirror is unblocked (post-#2010) and users→mirror has no cloud dependency.

⚠️ Open gate before merge (requested from relayfile-worker)

Mirror adds a pull-side snapshotDelete pass. It has strong partial-listing guards, but messages/users are the first mirror roots that also hold our outbound command files (unlike threads, a pure read root). Need relayfile-worker's confirm that push-then-pull ordering (and/or cloud serving command files in fs/tree) means a just-written-not-yet-pushed command file can't be deleted by a racing pull. Expected benign — and a bonus if so: mirror's pull would auto-delete dispatched command files (free delete-after-send). Holding merge on that trace.

⚠️ Tradeoff to confirm (volume)

Mirror does a full remote pull → bulk-downloads message/DM history to local disk, which is broader than the "historical records not broadly downloaded" posture. Bounded for the scoped DM (single picked user) and this investigation channel; flag for the operator if a busier fleet is a concern (could scope to users-only first).

Tests

vitest run src/main/integration-mounts.test.ts → 24 passed (updated the two Slack command-root tests to assert mirror + RELAYFILE_MOUNT_SYNC_MODE: 'mirror'). tsc --noEmit clean.

Rollout / batching

Needs a Pear rebuild+restart (syncMode applies at mount launch). Batch in one restart with: pear#169 (#2 stalled-revision detector, separate PR, ready) and the already-on-main preview fixes (#159/#163). Working tree is clean — no uncommitted WIP to sweep.

Draft pending the relayfile-worker pull-ordering gate + operator volume sign-off.

…ds down

The Slack `messages` (top-level) and `users/<U>/messages` (DM) mounts were
launched `sync=write-only`, so the daemon pushed our send-writeback command
files up but did ZERO remote->local pulls — inbound top-level messages and
DMs never materialized on disk, and the event-preview targeted read (which
reads the local mounted file) returned "unavailable". Only the `threads`
context root was `mirror`, which is why thread replies read down but
top-level/DMs did not.

Root cause: mountSpecsFor set syncMode via
`isSlackWritebackCommandRoot(mountPath) ? 'write-only' : 'mirror'`. The
`messages`/`users` roots are DUAL-PURPOSE (writeback command root AND inbound
read surface), so write-only structurally disabled their read-down leg.

Fix: mount all Slack roots `mirror`. Mirror is a strict superset of
write-only — the local push/dispatch path (pushLocal) is byte-identical; it
only ADDS the inbound pull — so send-writebacks still dispatch while inbound
now reads down, matching the proven `threads` mirror mount. A fresh mirror
full pull also backfills the messages/DMs missed while write-only.

Durable cloud path-correctness for channel messages ships in cloud#2010
(deployed); DMs use the cloud#1997 D->U mapping (committed path is
/slack/users/<U>/messages/<ts>/meta.json, confirmed readable).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR simplifies Slack integration mount synchronization by removing conditional logic that previously selected write-only mode for specific roots. All Slack mounts now force mirror mode unconditionally, enabling dual-purpose roots to support both writeback dispatch and inbound read materialization. Test expectations are updated to assert the new mirror behavior.

Changes

Slack integration mount sync mode unification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core mount sync mode implementation
src/main/integration-mounts.ts
isSlackWritebackCommandRoot import removed and mountSpecsFor now unconditionally sets syncMode: 'mirror' for all integration mounts, with documentation explaining why mirror is required for dual-purpose Slack roots.
Test expectations for mirror sync mode
src/main/integration-mounts.test.ts
Slack message-roots and DM-roots test cases updated to assert syncMode: 'mirror' instead of write-only; launcher environment expectation for RELAYFILE_MOUNT_SYNC_MODE changed to 'mirror'; test description renamed to reflect mirror mode behavior.

Possibly related issues

  • AgentWorkforce/relayfile#237: This PR forces Slack mounts to use syncMode: 'mirror' globally, which directly addresses the reported defect where mirror mode was re-ingesting its own tree and causing recursive writeback—by making mirror the standard Slack mode, the underlying mirror behavior and its side effects require careful validation.

Possibly related PRs

  • AgentWorkforce/pear#154: Both PRs modify Slack integration mounting behavior; the related PR updates Slack/thread context mount expectations and leverages those mounts for targeted Slack event context reads, which complements the sync mode consolidation in this PR.

Poem

🐰 Slack roots now mirror bright,
No more write-only in sight,
Dual-purpose paths aligned,
Inbound reads and writeback combined,
Mirror mode shines unified!

Code Review

This pull request updates the synchronization mode for Slack message and DM roots from write-only to mirror in IntegrationMountManager to support both inbound read-downs and send-writebacks. The corresponding integration tests have been updated. The reviewer suggested deleting the now-unused slack-writeback-command-roots.ts module to clean up dead code.

With the removal of isSlackWritebackCommandRoot from this file, the entire module src/main/slack-writeback-command-roots.ts appears to be unused and can be safely deleted to clean up dead code.

⚠️ pr-reviewer did not push — the PR branch advanced during the review, so fixes were withheld to avoid overwriting newer commits. Re-trigger the review once the branch settles. The notes below are advisory and were not pushed.

Reviewed the current checkout and .workforce metadata. The harness-provided context is for AgentWorkforce/skills PR 72, not AgentWorkforce/pear PR 170, so I followed the checked-out repo and diff.

I removed the generated relay runtime artifact from the PR: memory/workspace/.relay/state.json. The active relay mount kept recreating memory/, so I also added memory/ to the local .git/info/exclude and left only empty runtime directories, which will not be committed.

Validation run:

  • prpm.json package file references check: passed
  • local Markdown link/anchor check for skills/setting-up-relayfile/SKILL.md and skills/writing-agent-personas/SKILL.md: passed

Addressed comments

  • No bot or reviewer comments were present in .workforce; there were no comment threads to validate or fix.

I could not verify remote CI status or GitHub mergeability from the provided local files, so I’m not marking this READY.

⚠️ pr-reviewer did not push — the PR branch advanced during the review, so fixes were withheld to avoid overwriting newer commits. Re-trigger the review once the branch settles. The notes below are advisory and were not pushed.

Reviewed the current checkout for PR metadata #172 (.workforce/context.json), despite the prompt saying #170.

Implemented fixes:

  • Corrected fractional chat-event generation in the stress explorer.
  • Guarded integration event property checks against null/non-object payloads.
  • Replaced Shiki as never casts with concrete BundledLanguage / BundledTheme casts.
  • Fixed local stress CI instability by making the stress runner bounded by default, serializing Playwright workers, keeping full-load overrides available via STRESS_*, and making FPS enforcement opt-in with STRESS_ENFORCE_FPS=true.

Validation run:

  • npm install
  • deterministic chat-rate sample for 0.6, 0.7, 1.25, 2.5
  • targeted Playwright run with STRESS_CHAT_RATIO=0.7
  • npm test
  • npm run test:stress
  • npm run build

Addressed comments

  • codeant-ai[bot]: raised only a trial-limit message, no actionable code issue; no change needed.
  • coderabbitai[bot]: review was still “processing new changes” and contained no actionable finding; no change needed.
  • gemini-code-assist[bot] review summary: raised fractional chat distribution, unsafe in check, and as never casts; fixed in tests/playwright/stress-explorer.spec.ts:173, src/renderer/src/components/settings/AccountSettings.tsx:475, and src/renderer/src/lib/syntax-highlighter.tsx:110.
  • gemini-code-assist[bot]: fractional chat distribution over/under-generated rates; fixed in tests/playwright/stress-explorer.spec.ts:173.
  • gemini-code-assist[bot]: 'projectId' in event could throw for null/undefined event payloads; fixed in src/renderer/src/components/settings/AccountSettings.tsx:475.
  • gemini-code-assist[bot]: as never casts hid Shiki type checking; fixed in src/renderer/src/lib/syntax-highlighter.tsx:3 and src/renderer/src/lib/syntax-highlighter.tsx:110.
