Orchestrator-Driven Deploy Lifecycle

Worker definition-of-done now extends through production deploy success, with orchestrator managing the merging → merged → deploying → done state machine after workers exit at “merging”. Event-driven GitHub deployment monitoring replaces polling across skills like merge-pr and orchestrate. New catalyst-events CLI provides tail and wait-for primitives over the unified GitHub/Linear/comms activity log, while Linear webhooks join GitHub webhooks for comprehensive event ingestion.

Webhook Auto-Registration & Verification Fixes

The setup-webhooks.sh script now auto-registers Linear webhooks with --linear-register --webhook-url <url>, eliminating the manual GraphQL mutation step that previously blocked event-driven workflows. Fixed four critical bugs in orchestrate-verify.sh that caused verification failures on merged PRs and produced malformed output with integer comparison errors. Existing GitHub webhook subscriptions automatically upgrade to include release and workflow_run events on daemon restart.

  • dev: Linear webhook auto-registration in setup-webhooks.sh (CTL-224) (#353) (8cf4807)
  • dev: repair orchestrate-verify.sh — broken on merged PRs + integer-cmp errors (CTL-222) (#352) (e98ffea)
  • dev: webhook event mapper — missing release/workflow_run + bogus pr.merged on label changes (CTL-226) (#351) (0668d38)

Bidirectional Worker Communications & Event-Driven Orchestration

Workers now read inbound orchestrator messages at each phase boundary via catalyst-comms poll, while orchestrators switch from polling to real-time monitoring with catalyst-events tail. Worker status events split into severity tiers with coalescing and PR enrichment, GitHub webhook events get proper orchestrator attribution, and the new auto-rebase pipeline handles DIRTY merge states. Run catalyst-monitor restart after updating for webhook tunnel improvements.
