To reset a stuck dogfood run, execute the Invoke-PolyphonySdlc reset workflow with the target RootId to tear down residual branches, PRs, worktrees, and manifest artifacts, ensuring a clean baseline for re-launching the workflow.

A polyphony dogfood run reset is a recovery process that wipes residual prior-run state after a workflow wedges or completes. You need it when stale branches, PRs, or watermarks prevent safely re-launching the root run.

You must explicitly halt any running polyphony conductor before performing reset operations to prevent state collisions. The Skill provides safety-first halting guidance to stop the conductor before executing the reset workflow.

Manual recovery for dirty git worktrees involves addressing edge cases the automation cannot resolve, including hand-edited work-item state, `.twig/config` drift, and platform-ineligible close operations for completed PRs during the reset.

Yes, the reset workflow supports idempotent reset semantics through guarded invocation of Invoke-PolyphonySdlc, allowing safe repeated execution to reconcile branches, PRs, worktrees, manifest artifacts, and run-started-at watermark state.

Your dogfood root run fails to re-launch because residual prior-run state like stale branches, PRs, and manifest artifacts blocks dispatch. Resetting these elements via the reset workflow restores a clean baseline for re-launch.
