The pr_already_merged guard was defined + unit-tested but consulted by zero
production code, while ADR-001 Р-3 / README / CHANGELOG claimed the merge path
consults it before a repeat merge (reviewer P1, ORCH-065 attempt 2/3). The
actual merge actor is the LLM deployer agent (it merges the feature PR at the
start of the `deploy` stage), so on a reaper re-drive of an already-merged PR
the deployer would blindly re-merge → Gitea error → false БАГ-8 rollback; AC-11
("no second merge") was not met deterministically.
Wire the guard at the real consultation point — the deployer prompt — so it
runs merge_gate.pr_already_merged before any (re-)merge and no-ops when the PR
is already merged. check_branch_mergeable is left untouched (AC-13: check_*
behaviour unchanged; it runs on the first deploy-staging→deploy edge, not on a
deploy-stage re-drive where the second-merge risk lives).
- .openclaw/agents/deployer.md: idempotent pre-merge guard step + general rule.
- src/merge_gate.py: docstring names the deployer-prompt consultation point.
- docs/architecture/README.md, CHANGELOG.md: state the consultation point so
golden-source matches implementation.
- tests/test_merge_gate.py: regression test asserting the deployer prompt wires
the guard (so it can't silently become dead code again).
pytest tests/ -q: 743 passed.

Closes the "zombie jobs" incident class: job status was set only inside
the live launcher process, so a process death left jobs.status='running'
forever; at max_concurrency=1 one zombie blocked ALL projects' queue
(self-hosting risk). Adds a background daemon (src/job_reaper.py) with
three-tier liveness (dead-pid streak / known exit_code / max-running
backstop) whose only mutating write is an atomic terminal flip guarded by
WHERE status='running' (no double-process). For exit0 the canonical QG is
the source of truth via gate-driven advance, not "exit0".
Also proactively reclaims stale merge-lease (dead pid OR TTL) via file
delete only (no git ops), and makes merge finalization idempotent
(pr_already_merged guard + up-to-date short-circuit on re-drive).
New jobs.pid column via idempotent _ensure_column (no migration); pid
stamped in launcher._spawn after Popen. Reaper start/stop in lifespan;
"reaper" snapshot in GET /queue. Kill-switches: ORCH_REAPER_ENABLED,
ORCH_REAPER_INTERVAL_S, ORCH_REAPER_DEAD_TICKS, ORCH_REAPER_MAX_RUNNING_S,
ORCH_LEASE_RECLAIM_ENABLED.
Invariants unchanged (AC-13): STAGE_TRANSITIONS, QG_CHECKS registry,
check_branch_mergeable signature/behaviour, BUG-8 rollback, hook exit
codes. restart-safe, never-raise per unit of background work.
Docs: docs/architecture/README.md, CHANGELOG.md, .env.example.
Tests: tests/test_job_reaper.py, tests/test_merge_lease_reclaim.py,
tests/test_merge_gate.py (TC-16), tests/test_merge_gate_race.py (TC-17),
tests/test_queue.py, tests/test_config.py (TC-19/TC-20). 742 passed.

Deterministic (no-LLM) sub-gate on the deploy-staging -> deploy edge that
catches a feature branch up to the CURRENT origin/main, re-tests the combined
tree, and serialises merges with a per-repo file lease — so two green parallel
branches can no longer break main (self-hosting safety for the orchestrator repo).
- src/merge_gate.py: branch_is_behind_main, auto_rebase_onto_main (push
--force-with-lease ONLY the task branch, NEVER main), retest_branch, and a
file merge-lease (atomic O_CREAT|O_EXCL, holder-aware release, stale reclaim).
Strict never-raise contract; all git ops in the per-branch worktree.
- src/qg/checks.py: check_branch_mergeable composes the primitives under the
lease; registered in QG_CHECKS. Conditional rollout (merge_gate_enabled /
merge_gate_repos, default self-hosting only).
- src/stage_engine.py: sub-gate hook on deploy-staging (not a new stage). PASS ->
advance; "merge-lock busy" -> DEFER (re-queue with available_at, anti-deadlock
at max_concurrency=1, capped); conflict/red re-test -> rollback to development
+ developer retry (capped by MAX_DEVELOPER_RETRIES). Lease released on
deploy->done / rollback / PR-merged webhook.
- src/db.py: enqueue_job(available_at_delay_s=...) for the defer (no schema change).
- src/webhooks/gitea.py: holder-aware lease release on PR-merged.
- src/config.py + .env.example: ORCH_MERGE_* settings.
Docs: README + adr-0006 (architect) already cover the design; CHANGELOG updated.
Tests: test_merge_gate.py, test_qg_merge_gate.py, test_merge_gate_race.py,
test_stage_engine.py::TestMergeGate, test_config.py, QG-registry snapshot.
Full suite: 535 passed.
