# Task Error Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
## Cannot Claim Task
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Task cannot be claimed"
|
|
|
|
**Causes**:
|
|
1. Task not in claimable status for your role
|
|
2. Task already assigned to someone else
|
|
3. Wrong role for this task type
|
|
|
|
**Solutions**:
|
|
- Check what's actionable for you: `give_me_work()` (or `triage()` for PMs)
|
|
- Verify your role can claim from the task's current status
|
|
- Contact PM if task needs reassignment
|
|
|
|
**Claimable Status by Role**:
|
|
| Role | Can Claim From | Verb |
|
|
|------|----------------|------|
|
|
| Developer | pending, needs_revision | `i_will_work_on(task_id)` |
|
|
| QA | awaiting_qa | `claim_review(task_id)` |
|
|
| Documenter | pending, awaiting_documentation | `claim_doc_task(task_id)` |
|
|
| Cell PM / Main PM | pending | `i_will_plan(task_id)` |
|
|
|
|
## Wrong Team
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "team 'X' may not act on a 'Y' task (team-based restriction)" (`not_authorized`)
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: You are a cell-scoped role (developer, QA, documenter, cell PM) and the task belongs to another team. Claim, resume, unblock, and activate are all team-matched.
|
|
|
|
**Solutions**:
|
|
- Follow the envelope's `remediate`: call `give_me_work()` to find a task in your own team
|
|
- If the task was misrouted to you, leave it — the pool re-routes it to the right team
|
|
|
|
Org-wide roles (Main PM, Board, CEO, PR reviewer) are exempt — they act across cells by design.
|
|
|
|
## Cannot Start Task
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Cannot transition to in_progress"
|
|
|
|
**Causes**:
|
|
1. Task not claimed by you
|
|
2. Task in wrong status
|
|
|
|
**Solutions**:
|
|
- Claim + start in one step: `i_will_work_on(task_id, plan="...")` (devs), `claim_review(task_id)` (QA), `claim_doc_task(task_id)` (doc), or `i_will_plan(task_id, plan, approach)` (PMs)
|
|
- Check current status
|
|
|
|
Note: Git branches are auto-created on claim, no waiting needed.
|
|
|
|
## Cannot Submit for QA
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Invalid transition from current status"
|
|
|
|
**Causes**:
|
|
1. Task not in `in_progress` or `verifying`
|
|
2. Missing required fields
|
|
|
|
**Solutions**:
|
|
- Move through verification first
|
|
- Ensure task is actively being worked
|
|
|
|
## Self-Review Prevented
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Cannot review own work" or "SELF_REVIEW_NOT_ALLOWED"
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: QA trying to claim, pass, or fail a task they originally developed
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Another QA must handle this task. Self-review prevention applies to:
|
|
- Claiming the task (`claim_review`)
|
|
- Passing QA (`pass`)
|
|
- Failing QA (`fail`)
|
|
|
|
## Cannot Escalate Subtask to CEO
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Cannot escalate subtask to CEO - only parent tasks can be escalated"
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: Attempting to escalate a task that has a `parent_task_id`
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Escalate the parent task instead. Find the parent task ID (it's on the subtask's `parent_task_id` field, surfaced in your `give_me_work()` / `triage()` envelope), then escalate the parent:
|
|
```python
|
|
escalate_to_ceo(task_id=parent_id, reason="...")
|
|
```
|
|
`escalate_to_ceo` is Main PM / Board only; Cell PMs and cell members use `escalate_up(task_id, reason)` instead.
|
|
|
|
## Git Task: Parent Branch Required
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Parent task must be claimed first to create its branch"
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: Trying to claim a subtask when parent task hasn't been claimed yet
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Parent task must be claimed first. Branches are auto-created hierarchically:
|
|
1. Parent is claimed → parent branch created
|
|
2. Then subtask can be claimed → subtask branch created (forked from parent)
|
|
|
|
## Task Has Incomplete Subtasks
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Cannot complete task - subtasks not finished" with list of task IDs
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: Trying to complete a parent task while subtasks are still in progress
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: The error message includes which subtask IDs are blocking. Either:
|
|
1. Complete the blocking subtasks first (drive them through QA → docs → `complete(task_id, notes)`)
|
|
2. Cancel them if no longer needed (PM/CEO only — cancellation is not an agent verb; ask your PM)
|
|
|
|
## Invalid Task Status for Operation
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Task is in [status], expected [expected_status]"
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: Attempting an operation that's not valid for the current task state
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Check the task's current status and follow the correct workflow:
|
|
- QA operations require `awaiting_qa` status
|
|
- Documentation operations require `awaiting_documentation` status
|
|
- PM completion requires `awaiting_pm_review` status
|
