   Harlan Agent Kit posted this automated triage. It is not Harlan's personal assessment or commitment. AI open source policy.

   • Route: Ready to implement
   • Difficulty: 2/5
   • Impact: 3/5
   • Reproduction: Yes
   • Codebase review: Not needed
   • Summary: Verified in code: repo-maintenance.ts:329 fails registry/repository-submission jobs with the string 'repository_purpose_review_required' when the purpose gate holds a 'submit' operation (gate added in feat(registry): record repository purpose with Jev #581), and the dead-letter lands in fai
   • Next action: Implement in shared/server/discovery-ledger.ts: add a reconcileLedger branch (mirroring the retried/empty dead-letter joins through the failed_jobs payload) that sets status='pending', held_reason='repository_purpose_review_required', submitted_at=NULL for submitted rows whose registry/repository-submission job exception matches '%repository_purpose_review_required%', add a summary counter, and create test/unit/discovery-ledger-reconcile.test.ts with a failing-first case (in-memory D1 harness like discovery-size-guard.test.ts); verify with pnpm vitest run test/unit/discovery-ledger-reconcile.test.ts.
   • Related pull requests: fix(discovery): resolve submissions that dead-lettered instead of stalling them #34: Merged PR that created the dead-letter reconcile design (empty and retried branches) this fix extends with the purpose-hold case.; feat(registry): record repository purpose with Jev #581: Merged PR that introduced the repository purpose gate; its 'repository_purpose_review_required' job failure is the new dead-letter path reconcileLedger was never taught.
