resume

/resume (bro)

All mechanics live in the bro CLI. This skill is policy only.

A restart kills processes and keeps promises: claims, worktrees, the agent registry, daemon.json, watch markers, and loop.lock survive — watchers, the daemon, the loop, and exec shells do not. bro fleet resume is the recovery runbook as one ordered pass.

Command

• bro fleet resume [--dry-run] [--json] — orchestrator-only (BRO_AGENT_ID refuses: a spawned worker never arms supervisors). Runs on the main worktree's bro dir even from a linked checkout.

Legs, in order:

Leg	Restores	Reports
sweep	janitor reap of dead session residue	reap counts
watch	detached act wait per dead marker on an open PR; settled markers sweep + reconcile	rearmed / settled / kept
daemon	recorded-but-dead daemon.json → daemon run at the recorded cadence	live / revived / unarmed
loop	—	dead loop.lock holder + dead run records, bro flow loop hint
agents	—	lost/exited registry entries, bro fleet agents prune/up hints
worktrees	—	dirty sibling trees (stranded edits)

--dry-run prints the same plan with nothing spawned and nothing swept; --json emits the structured report.

Policy

• Resume restores recorded intent, never invents it. A daemon that was never armed stays unarmed; bro flow loop is never auto-spawned — claiming the backlog is the operator's call.
• It is a report, not a gate — exit 0 whenever the pass completed; dead processes are the input, not a failure.
• Run it once per repo after a restart, before bro flow loop — rearmed watchers and a revived daemon own the PRs the loop's workers produced while everything was down.
