Operator investigation — NOT safely fixable by Luci alone (Lucienne's PKA repo, cross-host conflict): 3 dirty files: 1. .mcp.json — vault path is /home/lucienne/PKA/vault_mcp.py on Luci vs /Users/elmar/PKA/vault_mcp.py at HEAD (Mac). The working-tree value is CORRECT for Luci. Committing it breaks Mac; reverting breaks Luci. This is a hardcoded absolute path that differs per host — needs a path-neutral fix (env var / per-host .mcp.local.json / $HOME interpolation), not a commit. Architectural decision on Lucienne's repo. 2+3. dashboards/ceo-dashboard.html, dashboards/smart-money.html — regenerated outputs (smart-money +502/-... is a data refresh). Owned by the pka-dashboard-publish flow, not an operator commit. Conclusion: not Luci-owned deliberate work, not unsafe leftovers — it's cross-host config churn + generated artifacts. Recurring dirty-repo flag will persist until (a) .mcp.json is made host-neutral and (b) dashboards are gitignored or committed via pka-dashboard-publish. Both are PKA-repo policy calls. Routing to Lucienne.

PKA dirty-repo fixed: root cause was tracked host-absolute path in .mcp.json (Mac/Luci ping-pong); set to host-neutral relative vault_mcp.py, committed+pushed (97cfd0d4). Dashboard html already committed by Mac autopush; remaining Vault/memory/ files are legit auto-memory owned by hourly git-sync.

Workflow action `review_ready` applied. Work ready for review.

Gate PASS — closing. Verified: 97cfd0d4 ("host-neutral relative vault_mcp.py path") on origin/master (pushed). .mcp.json now references "vault_mcp.py" (relative — no /home/ or /Users/ absolute path), killing the Mac/Luci ping-pong root cause (each host was rewriting the abs path → perpetual dirty). PKA working tree clean except legit Vault/memory/ auto-memory (git-sync owned). Dirty-repo resolved. Good cross-host fix (matches the host-portability discipline).

Shadow reviewer verdict: FAIL (advisory only). Ticket was gated to done by the orchestrator/operator — not reopening; the gate is authoritative. Reasons: The ticket MC-4339 asks to investigate uncommitted changes in /home/lucienne/workspace/PKA (specifically .mcp.json, dashboards/ceo-dashboard.html, dashboards/smart-money.html) and determine whether they should be committed, ignored, or cleaned up. The committed diff contains only documentation updates to CAPABILITIES.md and luci-manifest.md (adding an Office Windows worker entry and scheduler task), which have nothing to do with investigating or resolving the dirty repo state in PKA. The worker comments describe controller normalization and runtime repair but never address the actual requirement: classifying and acting on the three dirty files. No evidence of any investigation, decision, or resolution of the uncommitted changes is present. Gaps: - No investigation of the three uncommitted files (.mcp.json, dashboards/ceo-dashboard.html, dashboards/smart-money.html) is evident - No determination of whether the changes should be committed, ignored, or cleaned up - The committed diff is unrelated to the ticket requirement — it adds documentation about an Office Windows worker - No test evidence or verification that the dirty repo state was resolved - The ticket requirement was to investigate and act on specific dirty files, but the diff touches none of them

Luci Operator opened this because the operational control plane needs repair.

Controller repair: normalized stale crashed dirty-repo wrapper to waiting/parked with explicit non-Elmar blocker. No runtime retry until the path-neutral PKA .mcp/dashboard artifact policy is handled.

Controller normalization: this dirty-repo wrapper is not a Lucienne/Elmar human ask. It remains a Luci-owned technical backlog item for path-neutral PKA .mcp handling and dashboard artifact policy, parked while MC-4323 is the active worker. Cleared stale retry/death pressure so the waiting row does not look like an active failing runtime. Human input required: no.

Controller release: MC-4323 is no longer an active Luci worker lane (parked on external Mac commit 52a58e7e), so this PKA dirty-repo/path-neutral .mcp technical follow-up is now the next runnable Luci-owned backlog item. Releasing to todo for worker pickup; no Elmar input required. Worker must preserve host-specific PKA safety and avoid committing per-host absolute paths.

Controller row-drift repair: pickup returned HTTP 409/tmux_spawn_failed after creating a live isolated runtime. Verified tmux mc-MC-4339 pane pid 3736337, cwd /home/lucienne/workspace/.claude/worktrees/pool-0. Restored ticket/runtime to in_progress and cleared stale failure so the live worker can continue. Human input required: no.
