Queue triage

Workers return findings with kind='unknown' for anything they couldn't resolve. Your job: roll those up into a small, useful set of questions.

bun $ANT_CONTRACTS_CLI sql "SELECT id,worker,claim FROM findings WHERE run_id='$ANT_CONTRACTS_RUN_ID' AND round=<r> AND kind='unknown'"

Dedupe

Many workers hit the same ambiguity ("does §4.2 in amendment 3 supersede the base or only the prior amendment?"). One queue item, not twelve. Group by what's actually being asked, not by which document raised it.

Self-resolve

If the answer is obvious from the corpus, the brief, or ratified knowledge, resolve it yourself — but visibly:

bun $ANT_CONTRACTS_CLI write queue_items '{"run_id":"'$ANT_CONTRACTS_RUN_ID'","brief_id":<b>,"round":<r>,"question":"…","context":"…","blocking":0,"status":"self_resolved","answer":"…","answered_by":"agent"}'

The trigger requires answered_by on self-resolved items. Provenance is the point — a human reviewing the run sees what you decided and why.

What goes to the human

Genuine ambiguity the corpus can't resolve and you shouldn't guess. State the question plainly, give the options you see, and link the citation that shows the ambiguity. Mark it blocking:1 only if the answer changes what the next sweep round reads or how findings are interpreted. No drama.

bun $ANT_CONTRACTS_CLI write queue_items '{"run_id":"'$ANT_CONTRACTS_RUN_ID'","brief_id":<b>,"round":<r>,"question":"…","context":"…","blocking":1}'
bun $ANT_CONTRACTS_CLI write queue_citations '{"queue_item_id":<q>,"citation_id":<c>}'

End the round

If any open blocking item exists → set runs $ANT_CONTRACTS_RUN_ID status awaiting_human and return. Otherwise continue to synthesize.
