…only guard
Autopilot was fixed-rule code. Now, by default (Settings › Autopilot › Decided by), an AI lead decides each time a
board's state changes: it reads every ticket with its dependencies, every task and proposed change (checks, review,
testing, findings), stuck tasks, free computer slots and its recent decisions, and returns its reasoning plus:
- which legal moves to make, in its order (prefer what unblocks the most, then nearly-done work);
- retries of stuck tasks (couldn't finish / out of fix rounds) with concrete guidance for the Coding agent;
- one precise question for a person, posted on the ticket, instead of a flat "needs a person".
Guardrails: the planner offers only legal moves (uncapped); AutopilotPlanner.WithinCaps applies the slot caps and
one-acceptance-run-at-a-time to the agent's picks; retries are bounded (2 per task); unknown ids, retries of tasks
that aren't stuck and questions about tasks that aren't stuck are dropped. It runs answer-only on the member's
computer, is asked only when the board changed (state signature), and when it can't answer the pass follows the
rules. Its reasoning lands in the Autopilot log ("Orchestrator: …").
- Domain: IAutopilotOrchestrator, OrchestratorBrief/Move/StuckTask/Decision.
- Pipeline: AutopilotOrchestratorAgent ("You are the Autopilot Orchestrator Agent" — its own routing key, distinct
from the 5-agent pipeline's Orchestrator), AutopilotSettings (Autopilot:DecidedBy, UI-first).
- Web: ProjectOrchestrator.Agent (brief, signature, guardrails, retries, questions); planner caps as parameters.
- IssueWorkPrompt: a fresh attempt carries the orchestrator's guidance, fenced as data.

Summary
Autopilot was fixed-rule code — "not really orchestrated". Now, by default (Settings › Autopilot › Decided by), an AI lead — the Autopilot Orchestrator agent — decides every time a board's state changes.
It reads every ticket + dependencies, every task and proposed change (checks, review, testing, findings), stuck tasks, free slots and its recent decisions, and returns its reasoning plus:
Guardrails — the rules keep authority: the planner offers only legal moves (uncapped),
AutopilotPlanner.WithinCapsapplies slot caps / one acceptance run at a time / one move per task to its picks, retries are bounded (2 per task), and anything outside the brief (unknown ids, retries of non-stuck tasks, …) is dropped. It answers on the member's computer (no API cost), is asked only when the board changed (state signature), and when it can't answer that pass follows the rules. Its reasoning appears in the Autopilot log as "Orchestrator: …".Named Autopilot Orchestrator with its own prompt routing key so it can't be confused with the 5-agent pipeline's Orchestrator (
IOrchestratorAgent, incl. the MAF Workflow engine).Test plan
AutopilotOrchestratorTests(9): legal-move filtering + order, bounded retries / questions only for stuck tasks, non-JSON → rules, board state fenced as data, routing key, WithinCaps (slots, one test, one move per task), uncapped candidates, state signature.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
