# Production pilot dual-run: config, bulk path, push-seal

## Goal

Make Stage B dual-run **operable in production for a pilot set** without relying
only on ad-hoc API process env vars, and close remaining high-frequency mutation
gaps (bulk status, post-writeback push) so STATE-WP-0079 can expand cutover.

**Not in scope:** full C-rule port, Postgres registry, MCP rewrite, Stage C
host_paths SoR, dashboards.

## Dual-run config file (shared RM + SH)

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0003-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "e843f4b1-5ed9-4e38-adc0-8ea711359c1a"
```

Load dual-run settings from `~/.repo-manager/dual-run.yaml` (and optional
`RM_DUAL_RUN_CONFIG` path), with env vars still overriding. Fields: writeback,
reconcile, pilot_repos, writeback_push, meter_path. Document and unit-test.

**Result:** Config loader in RM + SH dual_run modules; env overrides file.

## Bulk task-status dual-run on State Hub

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0003-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "8bc99a17-8332-4e56-9e78-a63cd3bbc416"
```

When dual-run writeback is on for the task's repo, `POST /tasks/bulk-status-sync`
delegates each status change to RM (same as PATCH). Preserve progress events on
SH. Failures log and fall back to native DB-only (file via later C-15).

**Result:** bulk_status_sync hooks try_writeback_for_task per status change.

## Push-seal after RM writeback

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0003-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "fa01c87e-06d7-4048-821d-97e4fc0baafe"
```

When `writeback_push: true` (or `RM_WRITEBACK_PUSH=1`), RM writeback path pushes
after commit (best-effort, never force). SH facade passes push=true for pilot.
Meter push_ok/fail. Align with C-16/C-17 semantics (skip push issues as meter
only; do not force).

**Result:** writeback_push config/env; SH facade sets push=writeback_push_enabled().

## Pilot defaults + operator runbook

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0003-T04
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "0dbf65fd-d996-4f49-9951-f9b7df7053ea"
```

Ship example config for pilot `repo-manager`, update `docs/dual-run.md`, capture
`docs/evidence/wp0003-*.md` with meter summary command for STATE-WP-0079.

**Result:** `config/dual-run.pilot.example.yaml`, dual-run.md, evidence note.

## Acceptance

- [x] Config file drives dual-run (env override still works)
- [x] Bulk status uses RM writeback when flagged
- [x] Optional push after writeback
- [x] Evidence + runbook for pilot expansion
