Spec deviation during bid risk 2 · lowBid & specreflexion on

workflow_type: spec_deviation_flagged · owner: — · contract v2

AI detects spec mismatch during bid response (pack/format/etc). Per Mike standing rule: submit price anyway with vague note; log deviation in bid_lines; flag for post-award discussion.

Workflow flow
01 / Trigger 02 / Context + preconditions 03 / HITL gate (Mike approves) 04 / Fan-out cascade 05 / Post actions (log_run + reflexion + events) 06 / Verify (SQL / R2 / HTTP checks) How this workflow gets kicked off. Could be a chat-tool invocation, a cron tick, an inbound event (e.g. price.changed), or Mike clicking 'execute' from an admin page. TRIGGER kind: event sources: bid_response_workflow_step invoker: Mike (single-admin) risk_level: 2i Manual Mike invokes risk 2 Before deciding anything, pull related data from D1 (the local mirror of NetSuite). Each query loads a slice of the entity's current state so the AI and Mike can review before any writes happen. LOAD CONTEXT (D1 queries before fan-out) bid_line: SELECT * FROM bid_lines WHERE id=? spec: SELECT * FROM spec_items WHERE item_code=?i Load context 2 D1 queries Safety checks that must pass before any writes. 'block' severity halts the run; 'warn' surfaces a warning but continues. Without these, a bad input could cascade into NetSuite. PRECONDITIONS (checked before fan-out) (no preconditions)i Preconditions 0 checks The HITL (Human-In-The-Loop) gate. The workflow stages a proposed_action and waits for Mike to approve in /proposed-actions.html. Only fires when risk_level >= 3. This is the invariant: no NS write happens without Mike's go-ahead.

POST ACTION: event -> Event ledger (recordEvent) types: workflow.completed | workflow.partial | workflow.failed idempotency_key per run_id source: runner automatici event workflow.completed REAL A post-execution sanity check. The runner stages this with status='pending'; the verify-scheduler cron (every :08 and :38 hourly) wakes up after the configured window (e.g. +24h) and executes the sql_check, then flips status to pass/fail/timeout.
