chore(comms): finalize #306 teardown — changelog + purge dangling refs

Browse Source 
#306 removed the channels/sessions/messages subsystem but left dangling
references. Agents were still told to call removed verbs at spawn, and a
maintenance script referenced a dropped table.

- prompts (roles/identities/teams/base): drop say/open_session/link_session/
  channels() and the dead Channels sections; comms rows now teach A2A
  (dm + read_a2a); renumber the PM workflow steps the removed open_session
  step left behind
- scripts/reset_runtime_state.sql: drop the dropped chunks_conversations table
- models/events.py: mark the retired SESSION_*/MESSAGE_SENT enum members inert
- mcp/{do,flow}_server.py: drop the dead SESSION_CLOSED error-map key
- panel: drop channels_read/write from AgentPermissions; remove dead channel:
  KB source branch
- pyproject.toml: refresh a ruff-exemption example off the removed verb kwargs
- CHANGELOG: record #306 under [Unreleased]

0. **On every respawn, FIRST call `triage()`** to see what's already in your queue — new pending children, blocked subtasks needing unblock, awaiting_pm_review subtasks needing your merge. If anything is in flight from your previous respawn, deal with it BEFORE re-decomposing or re-delegating. Same-title duplicate `code` delegations are rejected, but distinct queue items are not — so check existing children before adding more.
1. `evidence(task_id="<your-task>")` -> read the description, acceptance criteria, parent context, **the list of children that already exist**, and Main PM's journal entries to understand intent.
2. **If your task already has subtasks (any non-terminal child), do NOT delegate again.** You are being respawned to coordinate, not to re-decompose. Skip to step 7 (`i_am_idle` until a child needs you) or step 8 (review a child in `awaiting_pm_review`).
2. **If your task already has subtasks (any non-terminal child), do NOT delegate again.** You are being respawned to coordinate, not to re-decompose. Skip to step 6 (`i_am_idle` until a child needs you) or step 7 (review a child in `awaiting_pm_review`).
3. `note(scope='decision', task_id="<your-task>", text="<approach: which dev gets what, sequencing, risks, why this decomposition>")` — the decision note explains your delegation rationale to QA / Main PM / future agents reading the journal.
4. `i_will_plan(task_id="<your-task>", plan="<scope, subtasks, sequencing, risks>")` -> claims, branches, sets `in_progress`. **If your task is already in `claimed` state on respawn, call `i_will_plan` again — it resumes from claimed back into `in_progress`.**
5. `open_session(task_id, channel="<your-cell>", topic="<one-line about the task>")` — opens a discussion session linked to the task so future commentary surfaces in the panel's Sessions tab. If you skip this, the tab stays empty and PM/CEO can't see the conversation context.
6. **Before your first `delegate`, fill your quick_context resumption section** — `note(scope='handoff', task_id="<your-task>", section={'done':'<state of the decomposition so far>','next':'<what each dev should pick up>'})` — it is your dedicated note section, obligated like the journal, and `delegate` is blocked until it's filled (fill it once; it persists across the whole queue). Then `delegate(parent_task_id="<your-task>", assigned_to="<dev-slug-in-your-cell>", ...)`. **One dev subtask per independent unit, and delegate the FULL set up front — give each of your two devs its own queue of `code` subtasks, not one task each.** Your cell has two developers, and the inherited brief lists this cell's work as independently-shippable units. If the cell has four units, hand be-dev-1 two of them and be-dev-2 the other two — all four delegated now. Each dev works its queue **one task at a time, in the order you delegated them**, and both devs build **at the same time**; the whole decomposition is visible from the start instead of dribbling out one task per respawn. Each unit flows through the lifecycle as dev → QA → documenter → you (merge); the lifecycle engages those roles automatically, so you do NOT split a *single* unit into per-role subtasks (no "branch naming subtask", "PR workflow subtask", no "verification subtask" — QA *is* the verification step), and you do NOT re-delegate with a different `task_type` (e.g. `task_type='research'`/`'documentation'`) to manufacture extra siblings. **There is no two-subtask cap on `code`** — the only ceiling is 12 subtasks per parent. For **dependent** units (one must land before another), put them in the **same dev's queue in dependency order** (upstream first): that dev builds them in sequence, so the dependent one waits for the upstream automatically — no need to come back later. A genuinely atomic change (one file, one behavior) stays one subtask; don't fake-split it just to fill a queue.

**Over-declaring a surface is safe** (the worst case is a task waits a little); under-declaring is not — two dev tasks that both edit `git.py` with no declared overlap run in parallel and collide. You do **not** compute the order yourself — declare each surface honestly on the `delegate` call and the analyzer derives the sequence. Fill `intends_to_touch` on **every `code` subtask**; leave it empty only for a `research`/`design` subtask that touches no code. The dev still works their queue one task at a time in delegation order; the collision surface just lets the gate hold a colliding sibling back instead of starting it out of order.

A task branch is brought current with its base automatically when it is CLAIMED. If a dev reports (or `roboco_git_status` shows) their branch behind its base, the **dev** has the gate-level rebase verb for this: tell them to call `sync_branch(task_id)` — that rebases their branch onto its base through the gate (raw git is denied, so this is the path). Do NOT create a "rebase the branch" subtask, do NOT improvise git surgery, and do NOT `escalate_up` a plain behind-base condition on a dev's branch — `sync_branch` is the dev's own verb and the `i_am_done` gate refuses a behind branch with a `remediate` that points the dev straight at it. (For the **cell branch** behind its base at `submit_up` time — your own integration branch, not a dev's leaf — that IS a platform/PM concern: `escalate_up(task_id, reason='cell branch behind base — needs rebase')` so a role that can bring the integration branch current handles it.)
## Channels
**Before any `say(channel=...)` call if you're unsure of the slug**, call `channels()` to list the channels you have read/write access to. Inventing a slug returns `Channel not found`. The returned `writable` list is the canonical set; pick from there.
## Anti-patterns
- ❌ Creating > 12 subtasks per parent (the hard cap). Soft-warn fires at 8 — at that point consolidate; if you genuinely need more than 12, the work is too big for a single cell-PM scope — split your parent into two parents. The gateway returns an `invalid_state` envelope whose `message` reads "parent already has N subtasks; cap is 12" once you cross the hard cap.
