Conversation
Incidents, fix verifications and free-form questions all start the same way now: one turn of the investigate agent on the investigation's ChatSession Durable Object, closed by submit_diagnosis. The planner → hypotheses → validator fan-out is no longer started by anything; its code is removed in the next change. Measured in the internal org between 2026-09-10 and 09-14: of 357 planned runs, 356 fell back to the seed catalogue because the planner never called submit_plan, roughly four passes in five ended on a model protocol error before their first tool call, and 17 verdicts came out of ~200 runs. Every handoff dropped context (a lane saw only the scope summary, the validator only text), the transcript was a reconstruction and follow-up chat was grounded in that reconstruction rather than in the evidence. What changes: - `startInvestigationTurn` in packages/backend is the one start path. The alerting worker binds the ChatSession Durable Object cross-script instead of the workflow, and every producer hands the worker env to the enqueue instead of a workflow binding. - A run spends one pass against the daily budget. The settings probe costs one pass too. - The autonomous turn no longer declares submit_diagnosis as an engine-required completion. Required completions became `tool_choice: required` on every call, which the providers in use do not honour, and the engine failed the run outright when they did not. The turn runner checks whether a report landed instead: a pass that stopped in prose or died on a model error gets one close-out turn that sees its own tool transcript, and a pass that still files nothing is marked failed immediately rather than by the 15-minute stale sweep. - Restart no longer terminates a workflow instance; it bumps the attempt so legacy lane rows stay hidden and starts a fresh turn.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change replaces investigation fan-out workflows with single-agent ChatSession turns. It adds autonomous diagnosis close-out handling, single-pass quota accounting, startup failure persistence, and WorkerEnvironment wiring across alerting and investigation enqueue paths.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Guard markFailed with the current investigation status.
ChatSession.beginTurn claims the turn, starts runTurn with waitUntil, and then returns. If the RPC rejects after the claim, startInvestigationTurn calls markFailed. submitDiagnosis can write status = "diagnosed" and the report before that update. The unguarded update can then replace the diagnosis with status = "failed" and START_FAILED_ERROR.

Stack 1 of 4 — one investigation, one agent. Review and merge in order: this → delete the fan-out → web → drop the lane schema.
Why
Measured in the internal org between 2026-09-10 and 09-14, after the workflow-existence fix:
submit_plancallssubmit_verdict)Roughly four passes in five died on a model protocol error before their first tool call. Every handoff dropped context: a lane saw only the scope summary, the validator saw only text and had no tools, the transcript was a reconstruction, and a follow-up question was grounded in that reconstruction rather than in the evidence. The same move already paid off for the chat agent.
What changes
ChatSessionDurable Object, closed bysubmit_diagnosis.startInvestigationTurninpackages/backendis the single start path; the alerting worker binds the Durable Object cross-script instead of the workflow.submit_diagnosisas an engine-required completion. Required completions becametool_choice: requiredon every model call, which the providers in use do not honour, and the engine failed the whole run when they did not. The turn runner checks whether a report landed instead: a pass that stopped in prose or died on a model error gets one close-out turn that sees its own tool transcript, and a pass that still files nothing is markedfailedimmediately rather than by the 15-minute stale sweep.The fan-out code is not started by anything after this change; the next PR removes it.
