Refire - the plate failed the pass, send it back

A refire is a fix run whose spec already exists on disk: the findings.md a taste wrote after validating every finding. That is what makes the ticket unusually precise - file, line, failure scenario, prescribed fix, all confirmed against the code. Your job is to carry that precision through and then prove each finding is actually gone.

Inputs

• Default: the findings.md the most recent /sous-chef:taste wrote - its report names the path; inside /sous-chef:serve it is the findings: line in the run's state.md. (Lost the path? It's the newest findings.md under $SCRATCHPAD.)
• Alternative: a review the user pastes or points to. Validate unfamiliar findings against the code first (taste's step 3); never refire a finding you have not confirmed yourself.
• No findings available? Say so and stop. Refire without a review is just a fire.

Preflight

Same as fire, and for the same reasons:

1. Git repo with at least one commit (git rev-parse HEAD).
2. The resolved worker's route preflight - resolve the worker (a leading --with <worker> or, inside a serve, state.md's worker: line; default Codex), then run that route's preflight from fire's --with table. Default route: test -f ~/.codex/sous-chef.config.toml; missing means stop and offer /sous-chef:mise (Codex silently ignores a missing profile).
3. Mint a fresh job dir: JOB=$(mktemp -d "$SCRATCHPAD/refire-XXXXXX") ($SCRATCHPAD is your session scratchpad directory; substitute its absolute path).
4. Snapshot the tree: save git diff and git status --short into $JOB as the baseline. The tree is usually dirty here (it holds the diff that was just tasted); that is expected; the baseline is what separates the tasted diff from the refire's changes. Then fire's step 5 verbatim - .sous-chef/ into $(git rev-parse --git-path info/exclude) plus the notebook's run marker - the refire ticket carries the same <progress> block, so the worker will write .sous-chef/progress.md here too.
5. Anchor check: recompute $(git rev-parse --short HEAD)+$(idx=$(mktemp -u); GIT_INDEX_FILE=$idx git add -A && GIT_INDEX_FILE=$idx git write-tree | cut -c1-12) and compare it to the tree: line in the findings' header. On mismatch - or no tree: line at all - the tree has moved since the taste and the cited line numbers may have drifted: say so, then treat the file as an unvalidated review (the Inputs rule above) - revalidate each finding at its cited location before writing the ticket, dropping any that no longer hold.

The refire ticket

Write $JOB/ticket.md with the fire template's XML blocks, specialized:

• <task>: "Fix the review findings below. Each is confirmed against the code." Then one block per finding: file:line, the defect in one sentence, the evidence (quoted code), and the prescribed fix. Taste's findings.md is already in this shape - carry its CONFIRMED blocks over near-verbatim; its refuted audit-trail section is not refire input.
• <done_when>: every listed finding resolved at its cited location, plus the repo's verification commands passing.
• <files>: touch only files named in the findings. Everything else is off limits.
• <constraints>: fix ONLY the findings; no drive-by improvements, no refactors of surrounding code, no reformatting.
• <verification>: the repo's check commands.
• <output_contract>: CHANGED / VERIFIED / OPEN, with a per-finding line under CHANGED stating how each was resolved.

Firing and plating

Identical to fire: backgrounded run from the repo root using the resolved worker's invocation, announce it in one line (what, which model, expected minutes, log path, cancel offer), no polling. Same backgrounding rule as fire - never &, nohup, or disown inside the command, or the harness reports false completion while the worker keeps running. Fire's ledger line applies too, with "skill":"refire".

At plating, in addition to fire's outcome checks (exit code, result file present, sandbox banner):

1. Open each finding's cited location and confirm the defect is gone. A finding-by-finding checklist, not a vibe.
2. Run the verification commands yourself.
3. Diff against the pre-refire baseline and compare the changed file set to the ticket's <files> Touch list, using fire's concurrent-edit rule. Name outside-list files, warn concurrent edit detected - these changes are NOT part of this run's review, exclude them from the refire-attributed delta, and revert or flag worker out-of-scope changes.
4. For risky diffs, offer a confirmation /sous-chef:taste; two clean models in a row is the strongest ship signal this kitchen produces.

Cap

One refire per taste. If a finding survives its refire, do not loop: fix it yourself or bring it back to the user with what was tried. (Same diminishing-returns rule as fire's two-delta cap.)
