The "Patrol tools" readiness check read the cached model-readiness
snapshot's tool-protocol dimension on its own. Since the interrupted-run
handling landed (8d0d74e35, b78330405), a run cancelled after every tool
scenario already passed keeps ToolProtocol at pass while the overall
status reports not_assessed, so the check reported "Patrol ready" from an
evaluation that never completed.
The check now requires the snapshot's own overall verdict (Success)
before reporting ready. A snapshot carrying no verdict at all — overall
status not_assessed, or the interrupted or internal_error cause — is not
turned into a failure either: it falls back to the base-config classifier
exactly as an absent snapshot does, capped at a warning. That cap matters
because not_ready is a blocking status in this payload: it clears
readiness.ready, which disables the Patrol run control in
usePatrolIntelligenceState and drops the page into the setup-only view.
#1640 promises a severed or cancelled check never blames the model and
never blocks Patrol from running in Watch mode, and the runtime gate on
POST /api/ai/patrol/run (PatrolRuntimeReadiness) already treats an
unassessed mode as a warning, so a blocking tools check would have
contradicted the route that actually runs Patrol.
A completed run whose tool protocol passed while the overall verdict fell
short now warns instead of claiming ready. It must not block either: the
dimension that actually failed carries the verdict on its own check
(context quality blocks, latency warns), so blocking here would have
turned today's latency warning into a hard stop.
Regression tests: internal/api/issue1640_readiness_gate_test.go covers
the gate across interrupted, internal-error, completed-pass,
completed-fail, and short-of-pass snapshots, asserting the resulting
runnability of the readiness payload;
internal/ai/issue1640_readiness_gate_test.go drives a real evaluation
that is cancelled at the continuation probe to produce the
ToolProtocol=pass / status=not_assessed snapshot end to end and pins that
PatrolRuntimeReadiness keeps Patrol runnable. The new API test file is
registered in the subsystem verification registry.
