Nothing had ever assembled the agent. main.py was still the hello-world
placeholder from the scaffold, and no code outside the test suite
constructed an Orchestrator — which is how two fully built, fully
tested components came to be reachable from nothing: the delegation
harness, and the Gitea comment poller. Unit tests that construct a
component directly cannot catch that; only assembly can.
- config.py validates every variable before anything is built and
names all of them at once, rather than failing at first use twenty
minutes into a milestone on the call that mattered. Whitespace-only
counts as missing, since a token of spaces passes a truthiness check
and fails at the first request instead
- agent.py builds the whole graph and owns startup and shutdown order:
reconcile before accepting commands, and on stop, stop watching,
then stop talking, then close the store last
- The Gitea account is read via whoami rather than configured: it names
the identity every permission is evaluated against, and proves the
token works before anything depends on it
- Poller lifecycle is now a state-machine concern: watch the plan issue
while a gate stands, the PR while it is open, and stop on leaving.
The orchestrator owns when to watch; an injected factory owns how to
build one
- The executor reports each turn, because it runs synchronously inside
the transport callback: without it the agent is silent for a whole
milestone and a working run looks exactly like a hung one
- main.py loads .env, builds, and shuts down cleanly on SIGINT/SIGTERM
The entry-point tests changed shape: nisse-dev no longer greets, it
refuses to start unconfigured and says everything that is missing. Both
tests now run with a deliberately empty environment and a .env path
that does not exist, because the working directory's .env holds live
credentials and a test must never be one cwd away from starting a real
agent.

- uv workspace tying nisse-core, nisse-dev, nisse-ops together
(src layouts, workspace-sourced nisse-core dependency)
- Placeholder hello-world entry points for both agents, calling
through nisse-core to exercise the package boundary
- pytest unit tests per package; integration tests (marker-gated)
running the installed console scripts as subprocesses
- ruff lint + format, nisse_* declared first-party
- Gitea Actions workflow running lint, format check, unit and
integration tests; scripts/check.sh mirrors it locally
