Addressing "undisclosed spec" issue from nebula-reviewer

Are the "undisclosed spec" findings real? Yes — here's the evidence

Review feedback for Redis Cluster Slot Migration Deadlock (f925de8b, v70). The author asserted that the reviewer bot's findings about undisclosed requirements were false and did not impact the solution. We re-examined the grader, the environment, and all 10 eval transcripts.

A full task review with per-check breakdown and score analysis is also available.


"The bot's recommendations about undisclosed specs are false"

Review feedback: Ephemeral Debug Containers (E1DF2) - 2nd review

Suggestion: Distribute the Gitea specification across multiple issues

Task: Ephemeral Debug Containers (a9b57469-d16d-4430-9d32-dcb2caea6be4)

The problem

Reverting task.yaml to v11 style will help (agreed), but the Gitea issue itself is also a factor. Right now it's a complete specification in a single document -- exact image destination, exact tool list, exact role name, exact ServiceAccount, exact permissions, exact LimitRange values, and exact guidance on how to handle legacy RBAC. Once the agent reads it, the task becomes a checklist with nothing left to discover or infer.

All 8 v13 eval runs follow an identical arc with zero strategic divergence: read task.yaml -> find Gitea issue -> ls /opt/apk-cache -> find Kaniko in Harbor -> build -> RBAC -> done.

Hardening 'Ephemeral Preview Environments' task — v2, based on v110 transcript analysis

Hardening "Ephemeral Preview Environments" — Architectural Guidance (v2)

Task: 4c070240-661d-44f3-b056-a612f8fc7804 (ephemeral-environments) Analyzed version: v110 (8 completed biggie-nebula runs) Current state: 97.9% average score (7× perfect 1.0, 1× 0.833) Target: <70% pass rate

v2 note: This revision is based on analysis of the actual v110 task files and full evaluation transcripts. The prior version (v1) was based solely on Discord thread context and contained incorrect assumptions about the pre-built image.

Where to Write New Nebula Tasks — advisory for task authors on saturated vs. open opportunity areas

Where to Write New Nebula Tasks

Advisory for task authors. Helps you find ideas that will pass overlap review on the first try.


What to Target, What to Avoid

Closed Mostly Saturated Partially Explored Wide Open

Hey — reviewed this against our full task landscape. The concept can work, but the framing needs to shift to pass the overlap gate. Here's why and how:

The problem with the current framing: As written, this reads as "deploy CloudNativePG + PgBouncer + WAL archiving + monitoring" — a greenfield build task. That overlaps heavily with the approved PostgreSQL HA + PgBouncer task (Patroni), which covers the same flow with a different tool. "Different tool, same operation" is a tough sell when we have 15+ PostgreSQL tasks.

The angle that makes this distinct: What no existing task covers is live infrastructure migration — the planned, zero-downtime migration of running production databases from one management paradigm to another. That's the genuinely novel core of your idea, and it tests skills that none of the existing PG tasks touch: migration planning, cutover orchestration under live traffic, data consistency across the migration window, rollback strategy, and decommissioning old infrastructure.
