repo-mailbox/scripts/coord-order-inbox.sh

#!/bin/bash
# coord-order-inbox.sh - read this repo's ORDER QUEUE (pending + claimed) from
# ~/.claude/coord/<repo>/orders/ and print it formatted for injection at
# SessionStart. ASCII only, bash 3.2 safe.
#
# WRITES NOTHING AT ALL - not the order files, not a seen set, not .origin.
# Broadcasts needed a seen set because they are delivered once; an order is
# pending until a session CLAIMS it, so the read side has no state to keep and
# must not invent any. Re-running this mid-session is free and idempotent.
#
# Shows the subject, sender and age of each pending order - never the body. An
# order can be a whole session prompt, and the queue view has to stay readable
# at session start; the text arrives at claim time, from the one place it lives.
#
# CLAIMED orders are shown too, with their age. That is the one way an order
# could still evaporate: a session claims it and dies. Without this the queue
# would read as empty while the work sat in orders/claimed/ forever. This is a
# visible-again rule, not a lease timer - nothing here expires anything.
#
# Usage: coord-order-inbox.sh [--repo <name>]
# Env: CLAUDE_COORD_DIR overrides the mailbox root.

# own Bash tool, so a bare verb name is command-not-found on the very first
# try, misreadable as "the order does not exist" (Verifiseringsloven ansikt

# ($0's directory), the same technique board.sh uses for its dispatch
# starter - correct at the moment this text is generated, for whichever

#     the engine performs, so an order that does not fit the dispatch story is
#     to be treated as a message and said out loud, not obeyed,
#   - the duty is procedural like Rule 7: claim it, or state why not.

A session started on an explicit other task is never hijacked by this queue - it reports the queue and gets on with its task.
