orch-fix-defect
Actor · action · target: orch · fix · defect. Thin wrapper over the shared
engine in orch-pipeline.
When to Use
- Something is broken: wrong output, an error, a crash, a regression.
- Distinguish from siblings:
- behavior is correct but you want it different →
orch-change-feature.
- the capability does not exist yet →
orch-add-feature.
Operation settings
- Default size floor: small (often trivial).
- Phase mask: 0 → (light 2 only if root cause is non-obvious or standard+) →
4 → 5 → 6. Research (1) is usually skipped.
- First move (phase 4): reproduce the bug as a new failing test
(regression test), then fix until it goes green. Proving the bug exists first
is what separates a fix from a tweak.
How It Works
- Run the
orch-pipelineengine with the settings above.
- If the root cause is unclear, scope it with
code-explorerbefore the red
test; escalate build breaks to build-error-resolver / /build-fix.
- Stop at Gate 1 (only if a plan was produced) and Gate 2 (pre-commit).
- Add
security-reviewerif the defect sits in a security-sensitive path.
Example
orch-fix-defect: poller crashes on empty NWS response
→ write failing test reproducing the crash → fix to green
→ code-review → commit [GATE 2: confirm] (commit: fix:)
