Conversation
A plain-text `Required` bullet is a condition outside the repository, and `quest guide` says to check periodically whether it has cleared. Nothing checks. #4428 merged to `dev` on 2026-09-29 and was the only gate on the m0 quest-check-everywhere, which `quest ready` still reports blocked; #4364 merged to `main` on 2026-09-28 and is one of two gates on relay-auth-client-ca. The quest's Plan records the settled decisions: one convention for the whole tree stated once in the root questline, a dated sweep that reports rather than guesses, the record in a pinned issue, the parser left to kixelated/quest, and the dev-versus-main cross-branch case deliberately out of scope.

P2: Complete the re-check loop before treating a dated listing as evidence. In quest/m1/gate-sweep.md:62-65, the nightly only republishes the bullets. If an upstream condition clears while its bullet remains, consecutive reports are identical; the gate disappears only after somebody independently notices and edits the tree. This preserves the failure the Goal promises to fix. Add an explicit scheduled human/agent evidence-checking step, with responsibility for recording the outcome and proposing verified gate removal/promotion. Reserve “re-checked” for that step; listing alone is not a check.
Direction: keeping parsing upstream and avoiding guessed predicates is sound. A scheduled evidence-backed audit is the simpler useful first step. Defer the unrelated VAAPI rename (lines 83-89); both that rename and the pinned-issue destination should remain proposals in the Plan while the PR description still asks the maintainer to decide them.
Verification: statically reviewed both changed files, linked quest context, repository instructions, and the pinned quest guide/readiness code; verified #4428 and #4364 merged. The head's Check workflow succeeded, but its Test step was skipped. I did not run quest check locally because quest/Nix are unavailable here. This PR changes only planning docs, with no public API or wire changes.

Printing the same plain-text blockers on every scheduled run does not evaluate whether their external conditions have cleared. For example, after a WebKit release ships, the job will keep posting the unchanged Safari gate until someone independently notices and edits the quest; only then can consecutive comments show that it disappeared. The proposed sweep therefore reproduces the failure described in the Goal instead of ensuring cleared gates are noticed and promoted, so it needs an explicit human or machine evaluation step rather than only listing repository state.

The sweep can report either pathname, so renaming this quest does not contribute to gate discovery or scheduling. A repo-wide search also finds six other quest documents linking /quest/m4/video-vaapi.md, making this a cross-tree cleanup with its own link-churn and conflict risk; keep this implementation quest focused and handle the rename separately.

Problem
quest/m4/README.mdpromises a re-check that nothing performs:quest guideis the source of that promise: "A plain-text bullet names acondition outside the repository. Periodically check if it has cleared."
quest checkvalidates structure, not freshness, so when a gate clears thequest stays blocked forever and the work it describes silently never starts.
This is not hypothetical. Two gates have already cleared and nothing noticed:
#4428 merged to devmerged 2026-09-29 and was the only gate onquest check everywhere, an m0 quest.
quest readystill reports it blocked, and it is missing from the 225 readyquests.
#4364 merged to mainmerged 2026-09-28 and is one of two gates onthe client-CA quest.
And the convention is not applied where it matters most:
quest/m1/wt-close-upstream.mdhas no## Requiredonmain, soquest readycalls it ready and lists it among the 225 while its
web-transport-moqreleasehas not shipped (no 1.3.3 tag; moq-dev/noq#21 is open). #4520 adds the bullet.
The maintainer decided that quest stays in m1 rather than moving to m4, so its
gate has to be findable from where it is.
Approach
Add one S quest for the outcome: every quest
gated on the outside world states that gate as a plain-text
Requiredbullet,one dated sweep lists every open gate beside its quest, and a gate whose
condition has cleared is promoted within days. Its Plan records the decisions
below so a later session does not re-ask them. Nothing else changes.
Impact
quest/m1/gate-sweep.md(new),quest/m1/README.md(oneRequiredbullet, inserted after the Tooling line). No package version bumped.
quest check: 449 documents ok before, 450 after.Alternatives
quest checkto evaluate a gate and failwhen it is satisfied. Rejected, see decision 3. A plain-text condition is a
sentence about the world; a checker that guesses is the warn-and-continue the
repository rules forbid.
Gatessection in the quest format carrying a machine-readable predicate anda check date. That is the honest end state, but the guide owns the format, so
it is upstream in kixelated/quest, not here.
/quest-audit. It is periodic and human-driven, whichis the current state of affairs.
Follow-ups
quest gateslisting.src/ready.rsalready models aplain-text bullet as a blocker with no path, so the list belongs to the tool
that parses the tree, and it would serve every repository rather than this one.
When it ships, bump the flake input and the sweep becomes a one-liner.

first move.
devis done, evenwhile
mainstill lists it", which is a workaround for the fact that a gatehas no schedule. The goal-level rule is one sentence covering both: nothing
stays in a waiting milestone once its condition has cleared, whatever
cleared it. Per PROMPTING.md an agent-instruction file stays light, so this
replaces the case rather than adding to it. Not done here, because AGENTS.md
is not to be edited unprompted.
Decisions
A background agent ran this interview itself, so every option below was chosen
by the agent rather than by the maintainer. Each is marked either
maintainer-settled, safe to proceed or needs the maintainer. The
maintainer can overturn any of them by editing the Plan; nothing has been merged.
Round 0, goal
Q. What is the observable outcome?
and its quest is promoted, so no work is silently stranded. (recommended)
quest checklearns to evaluate gate conditions and fails when one issatisfied.
Gatessection in the quest format carrying a predicate and a check date.maintainer-settled, safe to proceed. The first is the outcome the m3 and m4
READMEs already promise. The second and fourth need a format the guide defines
upstream. The third is what already happens, unreliably, and it is what left
#4428 sitting blocked for a day after it merged.
Round 1, scope split
Q. A quest deleted on
devwhilemainstill lists it is a second stale-questoutcome. Same quest, or separate?
upstream beside
overlay. (recommended)maintainer-settled, safe to proceed. Different predicate (an external
condition versus a branch in this repository), different cadence (a day versus a
merge), different tool (
overlayalready reads questline branches; a nightlysweep does not). AGENTS.md already states the human rule for it, and #4583 is
removing the one live instance (
ts-import-shared-shift, describing a mechanism#4543 deleted). Whether to file it in kixelated/quest or as a second moq quest
is needs the maintainer (see below).
Round 2, where the code lives
Q. Should the
questCLI own this rather than the moq repository?as a follow-up, and the flake input moves when it lands. (recommended)
quest gatessubcommand landing upstream first.maintainer-settled, safe to proceed, and flagged prominently. Facts: AGENTS.md
says skills and the guide change upstream in kixelated/quest and the flake input
is bumped.
src/ready.rsthere already models a plain-text bullet asBlocker { path: None, text }, so the listing is better served by the tool thatparses the tree, and it would cover every repository. kixelated/quest's own
quest/m0/README.mddecides "The CLI stays offline. Anything touching GitHub... lives in skills", so a checker that resolves an issue or a release cannot be
a subcommand. The moq side keeps the schedule, the pinned issue and the
promotion discipline, which are genuinely this repository's. Blocking this quest
on a release of the tool that reports blocked quests would be the exact failure
it is about. The honest summary: the listing belongs upstream, the outcome
belongs here. Whether to reverse that call is needs the maintainer.
Round 3, report or fail loud
Q. The sweep cannot evaluate a human statement. Report, or fail?
the recipe cannot run. (recommended)
maintainer-settled, safe to proceed. AGENTS.md's "fail loud and early" covers
input the tool can decide; a plain-text condition is not that, and mis-reading
"msfts#33 settles the ES-level payload unit" as "msfts#33 is closed" would
promote a quest on a condition nobody confirmed. Age is the mirror error: a
Raspberry Pi gate in m3 can wait two years and still be correct, so a deadline
punishes the honest gates and not the stale ones. The mechanical half does fail
loud: a malformed tree or a broken recipe is an error, not an empty list.
Round 4, where the record lands
Q. What makes the report something a human actually reads?
quest/.doc/.maintainer-settled, safe to proceed. Consecutive comments diff to the gate
that disappeared, and "re-checked on 2026-10-02" becomes evidence rather than a
promise. Failing the nightly instead pages Discord every day for as long as an
m3 hardware gate is open, which is how a page becomes noise. A file under
quest/is impossible:quest checkreads every Markdown document there as aquest and rejects one with no
## Goal.doc/is user-facing and this is not.Round 5, the tree
Q. Is m4 the only milestone where a gate may live?
in the root questline's Plan. (recommended)
maintainer-settled, safe to proceed. 21 of the tree's 719
Requiredentriesare plain-text conditions and 11 sit in m0..m2, because "re-check the gates
periodically" is written twice, in the m3 and m4 READMEs, and reads as their
private convention.
quest readyhas no idea m4 is special, which is whywt-close-upstreamreads as ready.Round 6, the m4 file names
Q. Do the inconsistent m4 names get normalized in this quest?
quest/m4/video-vaapi.mdtoquest/m4/vaapi.md. (recommended)quest/m4/vaapi-codecs.md(alternative name, same change).Needs the maintainer (naming is the maintainer's, per AGENTS.md). The case
for doing it at all: the sweep prints paths, and one list carrying
video-vaapi.mdbesidevaapi-resize-pool.mdgives the same crate two names,which is the "cannot tell which is which without opening it" cost the m4 README
bullets exist to avoid.
vaapi.mdis recommended because it pairs withvaapi-resize-pool.mdas a family and the m4 labels already read as an umbrellaplus its one extra. No PR holds the old
quest/m4/video-vaapibranch, so therename is free. Splitting it into its own PR is also defensible, since it is
independently completable.
Round 7, placement
Q. Which milestone and rank?
quest check everywhere.maintainer-settled, safe to proceed. Nothing blocks it and no PR is in
flight, so it is the next wave rather than in-flight work; m1's Plan already
separates planning from implementation, and Tooling is its family. m4 would make
it a gate of our own. Rank is one line to move.
Round 8, size
Q.
[XS],[S], or[M]?[S]. (recommended)[XS]: a script, a test, a nightly step, two promotions, three READMEedits and a rename is past one sitting.
[M]: no risky change and no new subsystem.maintainer-settled, safe to proceed.
Round 9, first move
Q. What happens to the two gates that have already cleared?
that finds nothing new is itself evidence. (recommended)
maintainer-settled, safe to proceed. Neither quest changes milestone: the
cleared gate was never what set its rank, and each still has a gate that blocks
it. A drive-by PR for them would be exactly the kind of unrelated change
AGENTS.md tells us to split, and they are the proof the quest exists for, so
they belong in it.
Needs the maintainer
agent's answer is no (the schedule and the promotion discipline are moq's,
the parser is reusable and belongs upstream, and moq's own guide and skill
changes are upstream by rule), but the call belongs to the maintainer, and
reversing it moves the work.
video-vaapi.mdtovaapi.md, in this quest or its own PR? Naming andPR scope.
report-into-a-page pattern, so a daily comment on one issue is new machinery
(a
GH_TOKENon the nightly job) and the maintainer may prefer the log.dev-deletes-while-main-lists case: upstream quest inkixelated/quest, or a second moq quest? Deliberately out of scope here.
quest check everywhere? One line.current line encodes a workaround for gates having no schedule; once this
quest lands it is the wrong rule to teach. Proposed replacement: "Nothing
stays in a waiting milestone once its condition has cleared, whatever
cleared it." Needs prompting, since AGENTS.md is not edited unprompted.
