terminationFor sent every gateway error that was not Refused or Timeout
to ToolFailure, because the enum had nowhere else to put it. On
2026-09-22 that was 131 of 318 production runs, and not one of them was
a tool failing: 56 were retired model ids, 25 an exhausted Anthropic
balance, 45 Groq's free-tier rate limit -- the only one still happening.
An operator reading the termination column saw "a tool is broken" for
two weeks while the actual answer was "we are not paying for capacity".
GatewayFailure is the seventh termination. Rate limited, request
rejected, credential refused and unreachable land there; Refused and
Deadline keep their own reasons; a non-gateway error is still the tool
layer's. A delegation whose subagent died at the gateway now carries
that reason up to the parent instead of reading as a tool call that
failed.
Migration 000016 widens the CHECK that 000006 chose precisely so this
would be a migration rather than an ALTER TYPE. Its down folds any
GatewayFailure rows back to ToolFailure BEFORE narrowing the constraint,
which is the order that works; verified up, down and up again on a
scratch database. Existing rows are left as they are -- the trajectory
entries still carry the gateway.* code for anyone reclassifying history.
The surface wording is the one termination where "try again" is honest
advice, since the dominant cause clears within a minute.
Full suite run against a real database, including the tests that skip
without one.

Owliver could offer neither create. The Create Position flow worked and no chip
anywhere suggested it, because the chip row is entirely the backend's static
catalogue and no intent in it wrote anything. The gap was never in the
frontend's trigger matching — every phrasing already routed.
`employee_roles` is the supply side of `job_postings`. A posting is what the
ORGANIZATION needs filled; this is what a WORKER says they do. They share a
vocabulary and almost nothing else: "3 years" on a posting is a minimum an
applicant must clear, and the same words here are what the person has. There is
deliberately no foreign key between them — supply and demand already meet
through `job_applications`, which carries the funnel, the interview and the
outcome, and a second weaker link would disagree with it the first time
somebody withdrew.
NO NEW COMPANY ENTITY, AND THAT IS THE LOAD-BEARING DECISION. "Create a company
position" reads like it needs a client record. `organizations` is the TENANT —
absent from the resource table, absent from the policy map, written only by the
seeder — so creating a row there from a chat flow would provision a new tenant,
and the position would carry an org_id the operator's session cannot see. The
operator could never view the record they just created. That breaks I5 and I1
to add a feature nobody asked for. The client stays free text on the posting,
per blueprint decision D2, and the flow simply offers the clients this
organization already staffs for as chips. No schema change, no endpoint change.
Create is operators-only, and that is an I1 decision rather than a deferral.
The worker is named explicitly on the row and is deliberately NOT derived from
the session, because an operator recording a role on somebody's behalf is the
whole point of the flow. Granting talent the same Create would let a talent
caller write a role under any worker_email in the tenant — the attribution hole
Phase 3D closed elsewhere. Talent reads its own via a ScopeEmail predicate,
which is in place now so the grant is one line when a talent console exists.
`created_by` is in gen_resources.py's SERVER_OWNED as well as the policy's
Derived list. Both are required and the pairing is easy to miss: Derived fills
the column from the session, SERVER_OWNED is what makes the descriptor ReadOnly
so a request body cannot set it in the first place. Without it,
TestDerivedColumnsAreReadOnlyOrTalentScoped fails — verified by mutation, not
by reading.
The two catalogue intents carry PHRASE terms only. A bare "position" or "role"
term scores 10, the same as every reading on that page, and wins the tie on
declaration order — so a create chip would have arrived by evicting
`positions-attention` from the exact ordered result TestPositionsSuggestions
asserts. An offer to create something must not displace the reading a person
actually asked for. Neither declares a Subject, on the precedent of
`position-spec-steps`: a Subject would let the bare query "summarize" match
through matchShape and survive filterOnTopic. Neither declares a Signal, so an
empty composer still reports what the organization needs rather than proposing
paperwork.
Chip text is the coupling with nothing else holding it together: no page
context declares `capabilities`, so every server suggestion dispatches as its
own TEXT and is answered by whichever skill's trigger that text matches. A
renamed chip would open nothing, silently. Asserted on the frontend side.
The down migration drops `employee_role_status` and keeps `english_level`,
which is shared with job_postings.english_required and
job_applications.english_level. Rolled back and re-applied against the
database to prove it, not asserted.
