@swamp/git can rewrite published history but cannot construct the rewrite. commit accepts only message, paths, and addAll — runCommit builds its argv from author config and the message, with no amend path — while push accepts force and passes a bare --force. So the destructive half of a history rewrite is reachable through typed methods and the constructive half is not.

The practical case: a commit lands with a message that does not match the repository's writing convention. Correcting it needs git commit --amend followed by a lease-checked push, and neither is expressible. The work drops out of the typed, evidence-producing surface and back to a human shell exactly when a careful, reviewable path matters most.

Two requests, and the second matters more than the first.

Please add a distinct amend method rather than an amend flag on commit. Amending rewrites history, so it should not be reachable by setting a boolean on the same call that makes ordinary commits; a separate method keeps the authority visible in workflow YAML and in run history. Useful arguments: a new message, optional additional paths to stage, and the option to keep the existing message when only the tree changes. It should refuse when there is no HEAD commit, and its result should record both the old and new SHA so a workflow can prove what was replaced.

Please also add forceWithLease to push. A bare --force overwrites whatever the remote holds; --force-with-lease refuses when the remote moved since the last fetch. For an agent-driven push that is the difference between a recoverable no-op and silently discarding someone else's commit. This is worth having independently of amend.

Both are additive and neither changes existing semantics.

--ca-cert / SWAMP_CA_CERT are ignored when serve runs --auth-mode token — only DENO_CERT reaches the connection's TLS config (found validating #1748)

Only documented non-interactive auth puts the password in argv; the safe SWAMP_API_KEY path is undocumented

Retyping a model instance strands catalog rows no command can reclaim — prune matches on model_id, delete resolves the current type (follow-up to #1009)

Docs: update cancel endpoint response statuses in REST API reference and workflows page

docs: update vault audit trail reference for write operation support

docs: document --dashboard flag for swamp serve

ExtensionWorkflowRepository scans manifest.yaml as a workflow, emitting 'Unknown key manifestVersion' warning

Relative path for custom agent skills setup doesn't provision skills

swamp serve daemon enable: add --dashboard flag

CLI writes runtime state (lastStalenessWarning) into tracked .swamp.yaml, dirtying a committed config file

extension install serializes files[] in readdir order, producing machine-dependent reorder diffs in upstream_extensions.json

Workflow YAML rewritten in place: block-scalar description truncated, file left unparseable, and validate still reports PASSED

workflow validate does not resolve modelType on factory-pattern steps — a non-existent extension validates clean

vault.get() arguments are verbatim, so a per-target secret cannot be expressed in workflow YAML

Cancellation/--timeout skips remaining steps including `completed`/`always` branches; --timeout waits for the in-flight subprocess

Remote "write-bearing" classification is inferred from data-plane writes, not declared; external side effects can be re-executed on worker disconnect (docs say the opposite)

Audit timeline is not populated by swamp CLI commands unless the AI-tool hook fires (manual says recording is automatic)

manual_approval suspends the run while parallel sibling jobs are mid-flight; in-flight steps are torn down and left `running`

`workflow resume --from` does nothing for forEach steps whose template name contains `${{ }}`

Step-level dependsOn on a forEach step never evaluates true (except `always`)

rum/site-info: lookup GETs a non-existent endpoint, always 405

vault read-secret appends a newline to piped output

wss:// direct to serve's own TLS listener still fails on 20260817 — client ALPN lands on h2, WS-over-h2 unimplemented (follow-up to #1363)

serve: vault audit repository not wired up — audit trail always empty

Support Jira webhooks with X-Hub-Signature HMAC-SHA256 verification

Add typed read-only remote ref lookup to @swamp/git

pullChanged skips same-size updated files — size-only change detection ignores the index sha256

A run's terminal status reaches the shared datastore only when a later run happens to push it

workflow cancel --all on the serve host shuts down the serve process

Readability of tables in documentation

repo init/upgrade --tool kiro references .kiro/skills/ but installs skills to ~/.kiro/skills/

vault: audit trail should record put, delete, and annotate operations

data.findBySpec() returns only the first in-run record, not all of them, so an .all() assert silently checks one element

repo upgrade --tool kiro reports wrong changedFiles paths

Suppress boot-time "pulled extension(s) have missing source files" WRN when invoked command is `swamp extension install`

s3-datastore: a stale machine's sync pushes its old 'latest' pointer over the newer remote one, and the rollback is permanent

`search` → `list` aliases are hand-rolled Command clones, not aliases: 10 of 11 have drifted from their parent's option set

Make official Docker image OCI-compliant

Method-name collision between a base model type and an extending extension silently drops the whole extension file — no error, doctor reports pass

data prune still misclassifies live records as orphans on 20260820 (after #1396) — serve-minted token/grant records, and report data of every live workflow

vault put prompts for the secret before validating the vault name exists

workflow validate: false 'Missing required inputs' for CEL-templated globalArgs (${{ inputs.* }})

Add SWAMP_CLI_OUTPUT env var to control default output mode (plaintext/tui/json)

@swamp/git fetch: support local path as remote

Dispatched steps over 15 minutes cannot write results: dispatch credentials expire and never refresh

Concurrent pushes to one namespace fail with HTTP 409 ConditionalRequestConflict — the conditional PUT is never retried

serve: triggerSource not persisted to workflow run summary

dataOutputOverrides not applied during remote execution — ephemeral resources GC'd before override takes effect

extension rm also deletes the lockfile entry, and install on an empty lockfile is a silent success — rm/install is not a round trip

--max-run-duration only applies to detached runs, not attached runs

Cancel endpoint reports status: cancelled for runs it did not actually cancel

@swamp/git: no way to amend a commit, but push can --force

Installation with new account creation times out

pre-flight checks run on orchestrator, not on worker — breaks remote execution with filesystem-dependent checks

docs: document --remote-only flag for swamp serve

Swamp serve daemon doesn't run with --hot-reload

serve: include workflowName in HealthSnapshotSchedule

knowledge-base retrieve persists query output into the state resource, with lifetime infinite and the query text in the instance name

Skip 50MB monolithic index rewrite on v2 shard-first path

Share single AwsS3Client instance across lock, sync, and verifier

Double shard assembly per command lifecycle (pull + push both read all shards)

pullChanged never records commitSeq for shard-first (v2) index

localHasAllRemoteEntries() permanently blocks sidecar update on partial caches

serve: workflow.history.get cannot find CLI-created runs or look up by run ID

"TRIAL ENDED" modal shown to team plan user when toggling extension visibility

Concurrent suspended workflow runs can't be disambiguated from 'approvals'; fresh runs should supersede matching-input suspended runs

I _think_ I might like a guard in the trigger yaml

swamp cmds don't realise the user is sshed into the system

serve dashboard: add cluster.instances and serve.config endpoints

CEL expressions have timestamp/duration but no current-time value, so no guard can express "older than N"

Support direct type execution (@type) with --server

access token mint writes to user vault, not serve's _token-secrets control plane in HA mode

Generic OTLP endpoint appends signal path after query or fragment

Issue lifecycle start drops top-level issue comments
