# Blocker Report: agentkit-cli v0.19.0 gate

Date: 2026-03-14
Contract: `all-day-build-contract-agentkit-cli-v0.19.0-gate.md`
Stop reason: repeated git write failure at the required D1 commit checkpoint

## Status at Stop

- D1 implementation is complete in the working tree:
  - `agentkit_cli/gate.py`
  - `agentkit_cli/commands/gate_cmd.py`
  - `agentkit_cli/main.py`
  - `tests/test_gate.py`
  - `progress-log.md`
- D1 targeted verification is complete: `python3 -m pytest -q tests/test_gate.py` -> `5 passed`
- D2-D4 were not started because the contract requires a commit after each completed deliverable, and the D1 commit could not be created

## Blocker

The contract requires a commit after each completed deliverable. This sandbox cannot perform the git writes needed to stage or commit the D1 changes.

Observed failures:

1. `git add agentkit_cli/gate.py agentkit_cli/commands/gate_cmd.py agentkit_cli/main.py tests/test_gate.py progress-log.md`
   - `fatal: Unable to create '/Users/mordecai/repos/agentkit-cli/.git/index.lock': Operation not permitted`
2. `git commit -m "feat: add agentkit gate d1"`
   - `fatal: Unable to create '/Users/mordecai/repos/agentkit-cli/.git/index.lock': Operation not permitted`
3. `GIT_INDEX_FILE=/tmp/agentkit-cli-gate.index git add agentkit_cli/gate.py agentkit_cli/commands/gate_cmd.py agentkit_cli/main.py tests/test_gate.py progress-log.md`
   - `error: unable to create temporary file: Operation not permitted`
   - `error: agentkit_cli/commands/gate_cmd.py: failed to insert into database`
   - `error: unable to index file 'agentkit_cli/commands/gate_cmd.py'`
   - `fatal: adding files failed`

## Working Tree Changes Present

- `agentkit_cli/gate.py`
- `agentkit_cli/commands/gate_cmd.py`
- `agentkit_cli/main.py`
- `tests/test_gate.py`
- `progress-log.md`

## Recommended Next Step

Run this contract in an environment that permits `.git` writes, then:

1. Commit the current D1 changes.
2. Continue D2-D4 from this working tree.
