Fixes - Moda

Fixes pair a candidate change with a replay-gate verdict on held-out production evidence. These endpoints mirror the Fixes dashboard and are what the moda fix CLI family calls.

Base URL and authentication

Unlike the rest of the Data API, the fix routes are tenant-scoped and live under the control-plane base:

https://moda.dev/api/tenants/:tenantId/...

They accept the same x-api-key header as the Data API (a dashboard session also works). Reads require workspace membership; every mutation (POST) requires the admin role. Responses use camelCase field names — except the fix packet, which is snake_case by design (it is an agent-facing document).

Endpoints

Endpoint	Description
`POST /tenants/:tenantId/problems/:problemId/fixes`	Draft a fix from a problem.
`GET /tenants/:tenantId/problems/:problemId/fixes`	All fixes for one problem.
`GET /tenants/:tenantId/fixes`	The ranked fix queue.
`GET /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId`	One fix, including `gateResult`.
`GET /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/packet`	The `moda.fix_packet.v1` agent packet.
`POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/advance`	Perform exactly one pipeline step.
`POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/verify`	Re-gate the candidate (optionally with uploaded content).
`POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/submit`	Deliver: open a draft PR or record a local branch.
`POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/dismiss`	Reject the fix with a reason.

The Fix object

Every fix endpoint (except the packet) returns or embeds this shape:

Field	Type	Meaning
`id`	string	Fix ID — use it in every `/fixes/:fixId` route.
`shortRef`	string	8-character upper base36 alias; renders as `MODA-FIX-<SHORTREF>` and is the PR magic word.
`tenantId` / `problemId`	string	Owning tenant and the problem (UUID) the fix was drafted from.
`rubricVersion` / `attemptNo`	integer	The problem definition version the fix targets, and the attempt counter within it.
`fixType`	string	`PROMPT`, `TOOL_SCHEMA`, `SKILL`, `GUARDRAIL`, or `UNROUTED`. Only `PROMPT` fixes get a proposed candidate; the rest are packet-only.
`status` / `statusReason`	string	Pipeline status (see below) and a human-readable reason.
`targetArtifactKey` / `targetSourcePath` / `routeConfidence`	string / string / number	The routed harness artifact, its repo-relative source path, and routing confidence. `null` when unrouted.
`promptId` / `baselineVersionId`	string	The registry prompt and the prod-labeled version pinned as the gate baseline.
`replaySetId` / `repairCaseIds` / `holdoutCaseIds`	string / string[] / string[]	The frozen evalset and its repair/holdout split. The holdout is never given to a proposer.
`candidateRef`	object	`{ promptVersionId, changelog?, risks? }` for registered candidates; a locally verified candidate records `promptVersionId: ""` with a `contentSha256`.
`gateRunId` / `controlRunId`	string	The gate (baseline vs. candidate) and control (baseline vs. baseline) replay run IDs.
`gateResult`	object	The verdict — see Gate result.
`deliveryChannel` / `prUrl` / `prBranch`	string	`pr` or `local`, plus the PR URL and branch once delivered.
`fixRef`	object	Merge provenance recorded by the merge webhook: `{ prUrl, mergeCommit, promptVersionId, mergedAt }`.
`problemRank`	number	The problem’s current rank (list decoration; `null` when unavailable).
`createdAt` / `updatedAt`	string	Timestamps.

Statuses

DRAFT, SCOPING, NO_EVIDENCE, BLOCKED_COVERAGE, UNROUTED, PROPOSING, NO_HEADROOM, PROPOSED, GATING, GATE_FAILED, GATE_INCONCLUSIVE, VERIFIED, PR_OPEN, APPLIED_LOCALLY, HANDED_OFF, SHIPPED, CONFIRMING, HELD, REGRESSED, REJECTED, SUPERSEDED, ABANDONED. The dashboard lifecycle table explains each stage.

Gate result

gateResult is set once a gate finishes:

{
  "repair": { "baseline": 38, "candidate": 51, "n": 62 },
  "holdout": { "baseline": 11, "candidate": 16, "n": 21, "wins": 6, "losses": 1 },
  "noiseFloor": 1,
  "abstained": 2,
  "verdict": "pass",
  "reason": "holdout wins 6 − losses 1 ≥ max(2, noise floor 1 + 1) and losses within noise floor"
}

The verdict reads holdout cases only. pass requires wins − losses ≥ max(2, noiseFloor + 1), losses ≤ noiseFloor, and abstained ≤ 30% of the holdout; more than 30% abstained is inconclusive (never a pass); anything else is fail.

POST /tenants/:tenantId/problems/:problemId/fixes

Drafts a fix. Creation is idempotent while a fix is active: drafting again for the same problem returns the existing active fix instead of forking the pipeline. The new fix rests at DRAFT — drive it with advance.

string

default:"auto"

auto routes from evidence; prompt considers only the prompt route.

}

A malformed (non-UUID) problem ID returns 400; an unknown problem returns 404. A merged-away problem ID is folded to its survivor, like the problem endpoints.

GET /tenants/:tenantId/fixes

The ranked queue: fixes ordered by their problem’s rank (descending), then recency. Also available per problem at GET /tenants/:tenantId/problems/:problemId/fixes (returns { "fixes": [...] } without pagination).

string

Filter to one status. An unknown status returns 400.

integer

default:"25"

1–100.

string

Opaque cursor from a previous page’s pagination.next_cursor.

Reading a fix reconciles its confirmation state lazily: SHIPPED/CONFIRMING fixes are checked against the problem’s lifecycle on every read, so a reopen or 14 clean monitoring days surface as REGRESSED/HELD without a background job.

GET /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/packet

The compact agent packet — moda.fix_packet.v1. Every fix has one, including diagnosis-only fixes without a candidate. Quoted evidence in the packet is neutralized as untrusted data before it reaches an agent.

target keys, candidate, and evidence entries are omitted when unknown (for example an UNROUTED fix has only fix_type in target and no candidate).

POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/advance

Performs exactly one idempotent pipeline step and returns the updated fix. The backend runs no background jobs — clients drive the pipeline by calling advance in a loop (this is what moda fix … --wait and the dashboard polling loop do). Steps are claimed optimistically, so concurrent advances never double-run a stage; the loser returns the current row untouched.

Current status	What one advance does
`DRAFT` / `SCOPING`	Scopes evidence, builds the frozen replay set, routes the target.
`PROPOSING`	Generates and registers the candidate version.
`PROPOSED`	Enqueues the gate and control replay runs (status → `GATING`).
`GATING`	Polls the runs; when both finish, computes the verdict and lands `VERIFIED`, `GATE_FAILED`, or `GATE_INCONCLUSIVE`.
`SHIPPED` / `CONFIRMING`	Reconciles confirmation against the problem lifecycle.
anything else	No-op — resting and terminal fixes return unchanged. Delivery goes through `submit`; confirmation through the merge.

curl -X POST "https://moda.dev/api/tenants/1f7c9a2e-4b3d-4c8e-9a1b-2d3e4f5a6b7c/fixes/cme9y2k1q0001l708g6p4xw3v/advance" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_MODA_API_KEY"

POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/verify

Re-gates the fix: enqueues fresh gate and control runs and returns the pinned gate run ID. With candidateContent this gates uploaded local content instead of the stored candidate — the fail-to-pass loop behind moda fix verify --prompt-file. Then drive advance until the fix leaves GATING.

string

Optional candidate content, 40–200,000 characters. Omitted = re-gate the stored candidate version. Uploaded content is recorded by hash (candidateRef.contentSha256), not registered as a prompt version.

curl -X POST "https://moda.dev/api/tenants/1f7c9a2e-4b3d-4c8e-9a1b-2d3e4f5a6b7c/fixes/cme9y2k1q0001l708g6p4xw3v/verify" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_MODA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

{ "gateRunId": "run_7b1c9e2f4a5d6081" }

Allowed from PROPOSED, VERIFIED, GATE_FAILED, and GATE_INCONCLUSIVE. A fix already GATING returns 409 (“advance to poll it”), as does any other status.

POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/submit

Delivers a VERIFIED fix (any other status returns 409).

string

required

pr — Moda’s GitHub App opens a draft PR on branch moda/fix/<shortref> with the composed body and magic word. local_ref — records that you applied the change yourself on a branch (status → APPLIED_LOCALLY).

string

The branch name. Required when channel is local_ref.

curl -X POST "https://moda.dev/api/tenants/1f7c9a2e-4b3d-4c8e-9a1b-2d3e4f5a6b7c/fixes/cme9y2k1q0001l708g6p4xw3v/submit" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_MODA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"channel": "pr"}'

{
  "status": "PR_OPEN",
  "prUrl": "https://github.com/acme/agent/pull/128",
  "prBranch": "moda/fix/7q2wjx4m"
}

Submit enforces the throttles: at most 3 open Moda fix PRs per workspace (409), one open fix PR per problem and per target file (409 names the sibling), and older drafts for the same problem or file are superseded. The pr channel requires a routed target file and a registered candidate version (400 otherwise — content verified via upload must be handed back as a PR by the agent itself); an unconfigured GitHub integration returns 503.

POST /tenants/:tenantId/fixes/:fixId/dismiss

Rejects the fix (status → REJECTED) and records the reason as problem feedback. Already-terminal fixes (REJECTED, SUPERSEDED, ABANDONED, HELD) return 409.

string

required

1–2,000 characters. Feeds the problem discovery loop.

curl -X POST "https://moda.dev/api/tenants/1f7c9a2e-4b3d-4c8e-9a1b-2d3e4f5a6b7c/fixes/cme9y2k1q0001l708g6p4xw3v/dismiss" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"reason": "prompt rewrite is not the right lever; fixing the ticketing API enum instead"}'

Fix provenance on problem feedback (fix_ref)

When a PR whose body or head branch carries MODA-FIX-<SHORTREF> is merged, Moda’s GitHub App notifies the backend, which flips the fix to SHIPPED and posts a mark_fixed problem feedback with actor: "moda-github-app" and a structured fix_ref:

{
  "fix_id": "cme9y2k1q0001l708g6p4xw3v",
  "short_ref": "7Q2WJX4M",
  "pr_url": "https://github.com/acme/agent/pull/128",
  "merge_commit": "d3adb33fcafe",
  "prompt_version_id": "pver_8c33d2f1a09b44e7aa11223344556677"
}

POST /problems/:id/feedback accepts the same optional fix_ref object on any mark_fixed you submit yourself. Notes:

fix_ref is stored on the feedback row and threaded into the problem’s lifecycle change reason for provenance; it is not part of the deterministic feedback_id, so re-asserting the same action with an amended ref converges on one row instead of minting duplicates.
If a problem that was marked fixed with a fix_ref later reopens automatically, the associated SHIPPED/CONFIRMING fixes flip to REGRESSED.
The merge notification is idempotent — redelivered webhook events converge on the same SHIPPED fix and the same pending feedback row.

Errors

Status	Meaning
`400`	Validation failure: non-UUID problem ID, unknown status filter, invalid cursor, body constraint violation, missing `localRef`, or a `pr` submit without a target/candidate.
`401`	Missing or invalid API key / session.
`403`	Authenticated but not a member (reads) or not an admin (mutations) of the tenant.
`404`	Unknown problem or fix.
`409`	State conflict: wrong status for the action, concurrent advance, throttle hit, or duplicate PR.
`503`	A required dependency (ClickHouse, the replay service, or the GitHub worker) is unavailable or unconfigured.
