Triage: the "QUESTION" is collision/harvest noise, not a real question. No blocker — precondition is met (parent MC-4341 "runner import fix" is done). Directive is clear: wire review-retry + Tessa/browser-gate flags into the live scheduler/service contexts; STAGE any service restart only — do NOT restart without Elmar approval. Flipping to todo to proceed.

MC-4342 flag wiring DONE — staged, restart needs your OK. Flags (mc_orchestrator_flags.py): review_retry=MC_ORCH_REVIEW_RETRY, tessa_gate=MC_ORCH_TESSA_GATE. Both default OFF. Consumers traced: - review_retry → scheduler drain (run_pending_shadow_reviews → mc_review_retry): on FAIL verdict reopen worker w/ feedback (cap 3) / escalate. - tessa_gate → MC service (ticket_runtime.act_on_tessa_output, gunicorn) + scheduler drain: hand UI-touching pass tickets to Tessa. Wired into 2 live contexts: 1. Scheduler task tasks/shadow-review-runner.md — ALREADY inline-set all 3 (SHADOW_REVIEW+REVIEW_RETRY+TESSA_GATE). No change. 2. Shared systemd env ~/.claude/env/api_keys_systemd.env (sourced by luci-dashboard + luci-scheduler + luci-heartbeat) — added MC_ORCH_REVIEW_RETRY=1 + MC_ORCH_TESSA_GATE=1 next to existing SHADOW_REVIEW=1. Verified flag_enabled() reads True. Gitignored secrets file → no git commit (by design). STAGED, NOT APPLIED: luci-dashboard (gunicorn) started 06:41 SAST, predates edit — live process has zero MC_ORCH vars (even SHADOW_REVIEW=1 was never applied). To activate tessa_gate in the MC service: sudo systemctl restart luci-dashboard.service Scheduler already runs flags inline per-task, so its restart is optional/belt-and-suspenders. Per ticket I am NOT restarting. Approve the luci-dashboard restart?

[follow-up] 27 min past expected check-in (2026-05-28T08:35:27.756587+00:00 UTC).

Controller repair: MC-4341 is done, so this child slice is now the active runnable lane. Reassigned from controller Lucienne to Luci, cleared controller parking/crash fields, and set 1h check-in.

Controller repair: cleared false pending_state=real_question caused by instruction text being harvested as QUESTION; live runtime is continuing.

Controller repair: false QUESTION artifact corrected; live mc-MC-4342 pane is active, so ticket/runtime restored to in_progress/running.

Controller normalization after full pending audit: this is the one genuine Elmar action in the MC control-plane chain. Please approve restarting luci-dashboard and luci-scheduler so review-retry + Tessa-gate env flags take effect. No code change pending on this ticket.

Controller/operator action completed: installed systemd drop-ins for luci-dashboard and luci-scheduler setting MC_ORCH_REVIEW_RETRY=1 and MC_ORCH_TESSA_GATE=1; daemon-reloaded; restarted both services; verified dashboard active, scheduler tick success, and MC home loads.
