* feat(dream): --once for one-shot phase runs without toggling config gates Fixes the "toggle enabled true, run, toggle back to false" workaround that gbrain doctor's extract_atoms_backlog message implicitly recommends and that #2860's reporter had to script around: with an external orchestrator running `gbrain dream --phase patterns` on a cadence outside the autopilot, the only way to run patterns once was `config set dream.patterns.enabled true` -> run -> `config set ... false`. A crash between steps left the flag stuck true, and the autopilot (which polls the same flag) re-enqueued patterns every cycle -- 119 LLM jobs / ~$400 over 24h before it was caught. Root cause: `--phase X` only controls which phase FUNCTION cycle.ts calls; it does not bypass that phase's own `dream.<phase>.enabled` / `cycle.<phase>.enabled` config read. Each gated phase (patterns, synthesize, conversation_facts_backfill, enrich_thin, skillopt) reads its enabled flag internally and skips regardless of how the phase was selected -- confirmed by reading each phase module, not assumed. extract_atoms/synthesize_concepts are a DIFFERENT mechanism entirely (pack-declaration via packDeclaresPhase, not a config .enabled read) and already have a working one-shot escape hatch: `--drain`. The existing doctor message for extract_atoms already says `--phase extract_atoms --drain --window 120`, so no doctor text needed updating there -- verified by reading src/commands/doctor.ts directly rather than assuming the paraphrase in the issue was literal. Design: `gbrain dream --phase <name> --once`. Requires an explicit --phase (bare --once is a usage error, exit 2) so it can never force-enable every disabled phase at once in a full/default cycle -- that would recreate the same unbounded-spend risk the flag exists to prevent. Threaded through CycleOpts as `onceForPhase?: CyclePhase` (the literal phase name, not a boolean) so the bypass can never leak to a phase other than the one named, even if a future programmatic caller passes a wider `phases` array than the CLI does. Never reads or writes config -- the phase still evaluates its .enabled gate every call; --once only overrides the boolean OUTCOME for that one invocation, mirroring the existing --unsafe-bypass-dream-guard / --input precedents (stderr warning at the bypass point, no new config-touching code path). Rejected alternatives (documented per task instructions): - Making explicit --phase X always bypass .enabled: breaking change for existing crons that rely on the disabled flag as a cheap no-op; an upgrade would silently start running LLM/write phases. - A new subcommand: adds a whole dispatch/help/arg surface that internally routes through the same override anyway. - Extending --once to also bypass packDeclaresPhase for extract_atoms/synthesize_concepts: conflates two different gating mechanisms (config toggle vs. pack membership) under one flag; extract_atoms already has --drain, which is purpose-built for its batched/windowed execution model. Design was cross-validated by an independent second-model review (external design consultation) before implementation; its recommendation to also update the extract_atoms doctor message to `--once` was NOT adopted because that phase has no .enabled gate to bypass -- doing so would be a documented no-op, contradicted by reading src/commands/doctor.ts:3264 directly. Tests: 9 new (structural CLI-flag wiring in dream-cli-flags.test.ts; a real PGLite E2E test in dream-patterns-pglite.test.ts proving the bypass fires AND that dream.patterns.enabled is never written; 4 runCycle-level tests in cycle.serial.test.ts proving onceForPhase does not leak across phases). Verified 6 of 9 fail against the pre-fix source (via git stash of source-only changes) to confirm they're meaningful regressions, not tautologies. Closes #2860 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(dream): --help short-circuits before --once usage validation Codex review finding (P2): `gbrain dream --help --once` (no --phase) called process.exit(2) from the new --once usage-error check inside parseArgs before runDream's documented IRON RULE ("--help short-circuits BEFORE any engine-bearing work") ever got a chance to run -- parseArgs computes ALL its validations unconditionally before runDream checks opts.help. Repo precedent for this ordering already exists as a pinned regression test (test/dream.test.ts's "--help --source whatever prints help and exits 0"). Fix: compute wantsHelp once in parseArgs and exempt the --once validation when it's set, mirroring that precedent. Added the same class of pinned tests here: bare `--once` still exits 2 with the usage hint, `--help --once` prints help and exits 0, and a real --phase patterns --once run against a PGLite engine proves the bypass actually fires (falls through to insufficient_evidence instead of disabled) without writing dream.patterns.enabled. Also fixed the structural test in dream-cli-flags.test.ts that asserted the exact pre-fix guard-condition source text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(dream): --once must require an EXPLICIT --phase, not a derived one Codex review finding (P3): the --once validation checked the derived `phase` value, but `phase` gets defaulted implicitly by --input (implies --phase synthesize) and --drain (implies --phase extract_atoms) BEFORE that check ran. So `gbrain dream --input <f> --once` and `gbrain dream --drain --once` both slipped past the "explicit --phase required" contract silently -- and --once became a true no-op in both cases: --drain returns from runDream before onceForPhase is ever read (the drain path doesn't call runCycle at all), and --input already bypasses the synthesize enabled-gate on its own via the existing opts.inputFile check, so onceForPhase would never even be consulted. Fix: capture `phaseWasExplicit = phaseIdx !== -1` at the very top of parseArgs, before the --input/--drain defaulting blocks run, and validate --once against that instead of the derived `phase`. Updated the usage-error message and --help text to say "an explicit --phase" so a user hitting this understands why `--input ... --once` doesn't count. Tests: 2 new pins in test/dream.test.ts exercising runDream directly (--input <file> --once exits 2; --drain --once exits 2), plus a structural test in dream-cli-flags.test.ts pinning that phaseWasExplicit is captured before both implicit-defaulting blocks. Updated the two existing structural/behavioral tests whose literal guard-condition / error-message assertions changed shape. Verified: dream-cli-flags.test.ts 27/27, dream.test.ts 31/31, typecheck clean.
