## Review — Principal Systems Engineer (Google/Stripe caliber)

### Artifact Verification

| Artifact | Status |
|---|---|
| Branch `colonyos/add_a_pr_outcome_tracking_system_that_monitors_the_fate_of_prs_created_by_colony` | ✅ 10 commits ahead of main |
| PRD | ✅ Present |
| Task file | ✅ All 8 parent tasks / 30 subtasks marked `[x]` |
| Tests | ✅ 2380 pass (0 failures), including 37 new outcome tests |
| README sync | ✅ `test_all_commands_in_readme` passes |

### Checklist

**Completeness**
- [x] FR-1 (core module): `OutcomeStore`, `track_pr`, `poll_outcomes`, `compute_outcome_stats`, `format_outcome_summary` — all implemented
- [x] FR-2 (SQLite storage): `pr_outcomes` table in `memory.db`, `UNIQUE` on `pr_number`, `INSERT OR IGNORE`, `timeout=10`
- [x] FR-3 (deliver integration): `_register_pr_outcome` called after primary PR, recovery PR, and `run_thread_fix`
- [x] FR-4 (CEO prompt injection): Non-blocking try/except pattern, placed after PR section
- [x] FR-5 (CLI): `colonyos outcomes` and `colonyos outcomes poll` with Rich table
- [x] FR-6 (stats): `DeliveryOutcomeStats` dataclass, wired into `compute_stats` via `repo_root`
- [x] FR-7 (memory capture): Closed PRs with close context → `FAILURE` memory entry
- [x] FR-8 (daemon): `_poll_pr_outcomes()` in `_tick()` with configurable interval
- [x] All tasks marked complete
- [x] No TODO/FIXME/placeholder code

**Quality**
- [x] All 2380 tests pass
- [x] Code follows existing project conventions (subprocess `gh`, SQLite, try/except-log-continue)
- [x] No new dependencies
- [x] No unrelated changes

**Safety**
- [x] No secrets or credentials
- [x] Parameterized SQL queries throughout
- [x] Untrusted input sanitized via `sanitize_ci_logs` + 500-char cap
- [x] All error paths handled — failures never crash the pipeline or daemon

### Findings

**Observation (non-blocking):**

- [`src/colonyos/outcomes.py` L279-351]: `poll_outcomes()` holds the SQLite connection open for the entire duration of sequential `gh pr view` subprocess calls. With N open PRs, the connection is held for N × (gh network latency). This is tolerable at current scale (ColonyOS creates ~1-5 PRs/day), but if the repo accumulates dozens of stale open PRs, this could block concurrent writers (daemon tick + orchestrator) past the 10s timeout. A future improvement would be to fetch all GitHub data first, then batch-update the DB. Not a blocker for V1.

- [`src/colonyos/outcomes.py` L389-440 vs L269-349]: `format_outcome_summary()` duplicates the merge-rate and avg-time-to-merge computation that already exists in `compute_outcome_stats()`. This is a conscious trade-off (documented in the code: "avoids a second connection"), and the duplication is ~20 lines of arithmetic, not business logic. Acceptable for V1 but should be refactored if more consumers of these stats appear.

- [`src/colonyos/outcomes.py`]: No pruning strategy for the `pr_outcomes` table. PRD §8 acknowledges this as an open question. The table grows unbounded — one row per PR, which at ColonyOS's output rate (single-digit PRs/day) means years before this matters. Not a concern for V1, but worth noting for operational completeness.

- [`src/colonyos/daemon.py` L237-239]: Outcome polling fires immediately on first `_tick()` (since `_last_outcome_poll_time` initializes to `0.0`). This matches the pattern used by all other daemon steps (issue polling, heartbeat, CEO scheduling) so it's consistent, but worth being aware of — first daemon startup triggers a burst of all polling steps simultaneously.

VERDICT: approve

FINDINGS:
- [src/colonyos/outcomes.py L279-351]: poll_outcomes() holds SQLite connection open during sequential gh subprocess calls — tolerable at current PR volume but will need fetch-then-batch-update pattern if open PR count grows
- [src/colonyos/outcomes.py L389-440]: Duplicated merge-rate/avg-time computation between format_outcome_summary() and compute_outcome_stats() — acceptable V1 trade-off to avoid double DB connection
- [src/colonyos/outcomes.py]: No pruning strategy for pr_outcomes table — acknowledged in PRD §8 as open question, not a concern at current scale
- [src/colonyos/daemon.py L237-239]: First daemon tick fires outcome poll immediately (consistent with all other daemon steps)

SYNTHESIS:
This is a well-executed feature that closes an important feedback loop. The implementation follows every established project convention — subprocess `gh` for GitHub, SQLite in `memory.db`, try/except-log-continue resilience, Rich tables for CLI output, and non-blocking injection into the CEO prompt. The architecture is sound: a single `OutcomeStore` class with clean CRUD methods, a polling function that gracefully degrades per-PR on failure, and three integration points (orchestrator, daemon, CLI) that all treat outcome tracking as non-critical and never let it crash the main pipeline. The UNIQUE constraint + INSERT OR IGNORE pattern handles the duplicate-registration edge case cleanly. The security posture is correct — untrusted PR comments are sanitized and length-capped before storage. All 2380 tests pass, including 37 new outcome-specific tests and the README sync test. The findings above are operational observations for V2 planning, not blockers. This is ready to merge.
