investigate why so many thirdshift files have accumulated in /tmp #569
Category: bug Summary: Explain which thirdshift activity leaves temporary files behind and report bounded, evidence-backed fixes.
Current behavior:
The issue reports accumulated temporary files without a breakdown. The October 16 handoff recorded Factory-skill extraction directories, agent scratch/tool installations, and test fixtures as separate groups. Those sizes/counts are historical observations. Code inspection also shows Factory-skill extraction retained until Command finishing, which test-only processes may never call; this is a hypothesis about one source, not a fresh runtime reproduction.
Desired behavior:
Produce a concise durable diagnosis that separates the groups, ownership/lifetime, and intended retention from suspected leaks. Use a bounded read-only inventory of recognizable thirdshift temporary entries and code/log inspection; report what could not be attributed. Compare any new inventory to the dated handoff without presenting old measurements as current. For each likely cause, state evidence, confidence, a minimal proposed remedy and an appropriately bounded validation plan. Keep independent fixes separate.
Key interfaces:
Factory-skill extraction ownership and Command finishing.
Session scratch conventions and documented preservation behavior.
The report records observation time, scope and method; includes bounded counts/sizes where safely measurable; and distinguishes historical measurements from new ones.
Factory-owned temporary extraction, agent-created scratch/tooling and test leftovers are considered separately; unattributed entries remain explicitly unknown.
Each causal claim is labelled source-inspected, historically observed, freshly reproduced or hypothetical, with supporting evidence.
Recommendations preserve active work and the Failed run retention contract, and identify any new maintainer decision before implementation.
Existing files/processes and configuration remain unchanged by the investigation. A durable report is delivered for review.
Out of scope:
Deleting temporary entries, stopping processes, running full suites to generate evidence, changing host retention policy, implementing cleanup, or reviving closed #23's per-Run TMPDIR proposal without a separate decision.
