-# Duplicate PR Prevention System
-
-**Issue:** #1460 - [META] I keep creating duplicate PRs for issue #1128  
-**Solution:** Comprehensive prevention system with tools, hooks, and CI checks
-
-## Problem Statement
-
-Issue #1460 describes a meta-problem: creating 7 duplicate PRs for issue #1128, which was itself about cleaning up duplicate PRs. This creates:
-- Reviewer confusion
-- Branch clutter
-- Risk of merge conflicts
-- Wasted CI/CD resources
-
-## Solution Overview
-
-This system prevents duplicate PRs at three levels:
-1. **Local Prevention** — Git hooks that check before pushing
-2. **CI/CD Prevention** — Workflows that check when PRs are created
-3. **Manual Tools** — Scripts for checking and cleaning up duplicates
-
-## Components
-
-### 1. `bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py`
-Main prevention script with three modes:
-
-**Check for duplicates:**
-```bash
-python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1128 --check
-```
-
-**Clean up duplicates:**
-```bash
-# Dry run (see what would be closed)
-python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1128 --cleanup --dry-run
-
-# Actually close duplicates
-python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1128 --cleanup
-```
-
-**Generate report:**
-```bash
-python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1128 --report
-```
-
-### 2. `hooks/pre-push` Git Hook
-Local prevention that runs before every push:
-
-**Installation:**
-```bash
-cp hooks/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push
-chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push
-```
-
-**How it works:**
-1. Extracts issue number from branch name (e.g., `fix/1128-something` → `1128`)
-2. Checks for existing PRs for that issue
-3. Blocks push if duplicates found
-4. Provides instructions for resolution
-
-### 3. `.gitea/workflows/duplicate-pr-check.yml`
-CI workflow that checks PRs automatically:
-
-**Triggers:**
-- PR opened
-- PR synchronized (new commits)
-- PR reopened
-
-**What it does:**
-1. Extracts issue number from PR title or branch name
-2. Checks for existing PRs
-3. Fails CI if duplicates found
-4. Provides clear error message
-
-## Usage Guide
-
-### For Agents (AI Workers)
-Before creating any PR:
-```bash
-# Step 1: Check for duplicates
-python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1460 --check
-
-# Step 2: If safe (exit 0), create PR
-# Step 3: If duplicates exist (exit 1), use existing PR instead
-```
-
-### For Developers
-Install the Git hook for automatic prevention:
-```bash
-# One-time setup
-cp hooks/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push
-chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push
-
-# Now git push will automatically check for duplicates
-git push  # Will be blocked if duplicates exist
-```
-
-### For CI/CD
-The workflow runs automatically on all PRs. No setup needed.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Check for duplicates:
-```bash
-$ python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1128 --check
-⚠️ Found 2 duplicate PR(s) for issue #1128:
-  - PR #1458: feat: Close duplicate PRs for issue #1128
-  - PR #1455: feat: Forge cleanup triage — file issues for duplicate PRs (#1128)
-```
-
-### Clean up duplicates:
-```bash
-$ python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1128 --cleanup
-Cleanup complete:
-  Kept PR: #1458
-  Closed PRs: [1455]
-```
-
-### Generate report:
-```bash
-$ python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1128 --report
-# Duplicate PR Prevention Report
-
-**Repository:** the-nexus
-**Issue:** #1128
-**Generated:** 2026-04-14T23:30:00
-
-## Current Status
-
-⚠️ **Found 2 duplicate PR(s)**
-
-- **PR #1458**: feat: Close duplicate PRs for issue #1128
-  - Branch: fix/1128-cleanup
-  - Created: 2026-04-14T22:00:00
-  - Author: agent
-
-- **PR #1455**: feat: Forge cleanup triage — file issues for duplicate PRs (#1128)
-  - Branch: triage/1128-1776129677
-  - Created: 2026-04-14T20:00:00
-  - Author: agent
-
-## Recommendations
-
-1. **Review existing PRs** — Check which one is the best solution
-2. **Keep the newest** — Usually the most up-to-date
-3. **Close duplicates** — Use cleanup_duplicate_prs.py
-4. **Prevent future duplicates** — Use check_duplicate_pr.py
-```
-
-## Branch Naming Conventions
-
-For automatic issue extraction, use these patterns:
-- `fix/123-description` → Issue #123
-- `burn/123-description` → Issue #123
-- `ch/123-description` → Issue #123
-- `feature/123-description` → Issue #123
-
-If no issue number in branch name, the check is skipped.
-
-## Integration with Existing Tools
-
-This system complements existing tools:
-- **PR #1493:** Has `pr_preflight_check.py` — similar functionality
-- **PR #1497:** Has `check_duplicate_pr.py` — similar functionality
-
-This system provides additional features:
-1. **Git hooks** for local prevention
-2. **CI workflows** for automated checking
-3. **Cleanup tools** for closing duplicates
-4. **Comprehensive reporting**
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Hook not working?
-```bash
-# Check if hook is installed
-ls -la .git/hooks/pre-push
-
-# Make sure it's executable
-chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push
-
-# Test it manually
-./.git/hooks/pre-push
-```
-
-### CI failing?
-1. Check if `GITEA_TOKEN` secret is set
-2. Verify issue number can be extracted from PR title/branch
-3. Check workflow logs for details
-
-### False positives?
-If the script incorrectly identifies duplicates:
-1. Check PR titles and bodies for issue references
-2. Use `--report` to see what's being detected
-3. Manually close incorrect PRs if needed
-
-## Prevention Strategy
-
-### 1. **Always Check First**
-```bash
-# Before creating any PR
-python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1460 --check
-```
-
-### 2. **Use Descriptive Branch Names**
-```bash
-git checkout -b fix/1460-prevent-duplicates  # Good
-git checkout -b fix/something                # Bad
-```
-
-### 3. **Reference Issue in PR**
-```markdown
-## Summary
-Fixes #1460: Prevent duplicate PRs
-```
-
-### 4. **Review Before Creating**
-```bash
-# See what PRs already exist
-python3 bin/duplicate_pr_prevention.py --repo the-nexus --issue 1460 --report
-```
-

+# Mission Cell Directory Spec
+
+This document defines the foundational Mission Cell filesystem contract for Lazarus Pit.
+It is a grounded M6 foundation slice, not the full Mission Cell runtime.
+
+Root layout:
+- `/var/missions/<uuid>/`
+
+Required subdirectories:
+- `meta/`
+- `config/`
+- `state/`
+- `logs/`
+- `artifacts/`
+- `worktree/`
+
+Required seed files:
+- `meta/mission.json`
+- `config/cell.json`
+- `state/heartbeat.json`
+- `logs/daemon.log`
+
+## Intent of each path
+
+- `meta/mission.json`
+  - durable mission identity and lifecycle metadata
+  - includes `mission_id`, `created_at`, and current status
+- `config/cell.json`
+  - local cell wiring
+  - points to the worktree, artifacts directory, and heartbeat file
+- `state/heartbeat.json`
+  - latest cell heartbeat timestamp and state
+  - consumed by Lazarus Pit scans for healthy vs stale cell classification
+- `logs/daemon.log`
+  - daemon-local operational log target
+- `artifacts/`
+  - handoff packets, reports, checkpoints, and mission outputs
+- `worktree/`
+  - mission-specific checked-out repository workspace
+
+## Lazarus Pit daemon skeleton
+
+`scripts/lazarus_pit.py` provides the foundation daemon behavior:
+- initialize a Mission Cell scaffold with `--init-cell <uuid>`
+- scan all cells under the configured missions root
+- classify cells as `healthy`, `stale`, `incomplete`, or `uninitialized`
+- emit a daemon heartbeat through the existing cron heartbeat writer
+- output a JSON health report for higher-level watchers
+
+Default config lives at:
+- `config/lazarus_pit.json`
+
+## Example bootstrap
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/lazarus_pit.py --init-cell 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000 --json
+python3 scripts/lazarus_pit.py --write-heartbeat --json
+```
+
+## What remains for full #879 completion
+
+This slice does not yet complete the whole issue.
+Still open:
+- health heartbeat endpoint on existing wizard gateways
+- Gitea mission proposal issue template
+- live daemon service wiring / long-running supervisor integration

+
+### Confidence Level
+- High confidence: 800+ commits, 150+ PRs
+- Medium confidence: 1,000+ commits, 200+ PRs
+- Low confidence: 1,200+ commits, 250+ PRs (requires all loops running clean)
