A task is queued for ten minutes without a build result. Should the operator wait, cancel, retry, or revoke? Without deadlines and observable state, the response is guesswork. This promotional MonkeyCode runbook defines local operating policy rather than alleging an incident.
# Unexecuted template
task: docs-canary-001
base_sha: replace-me
allowed_paths: [docs/canary.md]
deadline_minutes: 15
access_expiry_minutes: 30
required_checks: [build, test, preview-review]
owner: on-call-name
rollback: delete branch and revoke access
Reject missing owners, broad paths, unknown SHAs, absent rollback, or credentials outliving the trial.
| Field | Question answered |
|---|---|
| task/attempt ID | retry or new work? |
| timestamps | where was time spent? |
| base/result SHA | what changed? |
| state/reason | what action follows? |
| check outcomes | which verification failed? |
| cancel observed | did stopping converge? |
| access revoked | is authority live? |
Never log credentials or unnecessary source. Define retention separately.
| Signal | Example threshold | Action | Rollback trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| queue age | task budget | stop admissions | two breaches |
| no progress | 5 minutes | inspect state | state unknown |
| test failure | first deterministic failure | preserve evidence | never merge |
| cancel absent | 2 minutes | revoke access | post-cancel write |
Thresholds are unexecuted examples, not measurements. Drill with a disposable repository: submit a docs-only task, revoke temporary access while pending, and require a terminal state, no default-branch mutation, a reason, and confirmed revocation. Test one deliberately failing check. Cleanup branches, access, open changes, and trial resources where supported.
Verified product boundary
MonkeyCode is documented as an AGPL-3.0 open-source AI development platform. The overseas online offering runs managed cloud environments server-side and includes development, model, task, requirement, build, test, and preview facilities.
Review record fields
For review pass 1 in this odd_background_328 evaluation, record an owner, repository, base commit, requirement revision, allowed paths, start and stop times, expected checks, observed terminal state, reviewer decision, cleanup proof, and unresolved questions. Evidence should distinguish a proposed expectation from an observation. Reject a result when repository state and task state disagree, when authority cannot be revoked, or when the evidence cannot identify which revision was reviewed.

Limitations
This odd_background_328 method was not executed against a live MonkeyCode environment. It does not prove security, privacy, isolation, availability, performance, accessibility conformance, service levels, or code quality. Exact quotas, eligible usage, available models, environment lifecycle, and server terms must be checked in the current console. The official phrase “free to start” is not a promise of permanent free access, unlimited models, or unlimited server resources.
