* feat(batch): batch_id + collision descriptor columns

Sequenced batch intake ("Mega task") foundation: tasks.batch_id (indexed)
groups a batch of top-level tasks created together; intends_to_touch (text[]),
adds_migration and touches_shared (bool, NOT NULL default false) are the
per-task collision surface the SequencingService will read to wire dependency
waves. Mirrored on the Task model + TaskCreateRequest and wired through
TaskService.create. Migration 046 (real upgrade->downgrade->upgrade verified
vs a throwaway pgvector PG); a non-batch task declares no surface (defaults).

Task 1 of the 0.11.0 sequenced-batch-intake plan.

* feat(batch): flag + draft collision descriptors

Default-off ROBOCO_BATCH_INTAKE_ENABLED (config + FEATURE_FLAGS + panel card);
the propose_draft tool doc + the TS DraftProposal gain the per-task collision
surface intends_to_touch / adds_migration / touches_shared. The draft is a loose
dict so the descriptors ride it through the relay intact (test asserts the
forwarded payload); the analyzer (Task 3) reads them to wire dependency waves.

Task 2 of the 0.11.0 sequenced-batch-intake plan.

* feat(batch): deterministic collision-sequencing analyzer

SequencingService.analyze turns a batch's per-task collision surfaces into a
dependency DAG + execution waves — correctness in CODE, not agent judgment.
Rules in order: file overlap serializes (more-important first), migrations form
a serial chain (no concurrent Alembic heads), touches_shared runs last, cell
contention warns (never serializes); then dedupe, existence + cycle check, and
Kahn topological layering. Pure (no DB/services); SequencingError on a cycle or
out-of-range edge.

Golden test reproduces the CEO's hand-sequenced 4 waves of the 11-item
guard-core-app batch (the effort that deadlocked the Main PM): S6 alone last,
the R1/R3/R4 migration chain, R2/R3/S8 serialized on the shared threat service,
S1/S2/S7 in one parallel wave.

Task 3 of the 0.11.0 sequenced-batch-intake plan.

* chore(batch): brand the user-facing surfaces "MegaTask"

The user-facing name is MegaTask: the feature-flag label is "MegaTask intake",
the panel flag-card and the config description lead with MegaTask. Internal
names stay technical (batch_intake_enabled, batch_id, SequencingService).

* chore(batch): drop the feature flag — MegaTask is a core intake scope

MegaTask is additive and opt-in by its own nature (the Prompter proposes a
batch only when the CEO asks for several tasks; single-task intake is
unchanged), so there is no risk surface a flag protects — 'don't create a
MegaTask' is the off switch. Remove batch_intake_enabled from config, the
FEATURE_FLAGS registry, the panel flag card, and its tests. MegaTask will be
a third scope option in the Intake modal (single-cell / multi-project /
MegaTask), not a toggle.

* feat(batch): MegaTask identity predicate + orchestrator branchless recognition

The single source of truth for the umbrella's exemptions: pure
is_batch_umbrella / is_batch_root_subtask / is_branchless_coordination
(foundation/policy/batch.py) — an umbrella has a batch_id and is top-level; a
root-subtask shares the batch_id but is parented. The orchestrator's
_is_coordination_task now consults is_branchless_coordination, so a MegaTask
umbrella is recognized as doing no git of its own (git-exempt at spawn-readiness
/ stuck-detection) exactly like a product fan-out root. Non-batch behavior is
identical (the predicate reduces to the old no-project+product check; the
orchestrator coordination suite stays green), and the umbrella branch is inert
until the create path exists.

First slice of the MegaTask umbrella enforcement (branchless guard).

* feat(batch): branchless umbrella guard across the git-exemption sites

A MegaTask umbrella does no git of its own — every git-exemption site in
TaskService now consults the shared is_branchless_coordination predicate
instead of an inline product-only check, so the umbrella's exemptions
cannot drift between sites:

- the claimed->in_progress branch gate (GitContext.is_coordination) lets
  an unbranched umbrella reach in_progress and delegate;
- _ensure_branch_for_task short-circuits an umbrella to "" instead of the
  misconfigured raise (the claim path ignores the return, treating it as
  branchless);
- CEO-reject routing sends a rejected umbrella to the Main PM in PENDING
  (needs_revision is developer-claim-only and would deadlock it).

Covers both shapes via the predicate (product fan-out root OR umbrella);
a batch root-subtask keeps its own branch/PR. Adds orchestrator
recognition tests for the umbrella plus claim/branch/reject integration
tests.

* feat(batch): umbrella assembles no PR; completes branchless

submit_root now hard-rejects a MegaTask umbrella up front (a preflight
that also folds in the unknown-role refusal to stay within the
return-count budget): the umbrella spans many projects with no single
master, so each root-subtask opens and is reviewed on its own PR — the
umbrella never enters the in-path review gate. The Main PM completes it
directly once every root-subtask is terminal.

Umbrella completion needs no new code: it is branchless (no branch_name),
so _main_pm_complete_guard already accepts it from in_progress, checks
all_subtasks_terminal, and main_pm_complete walks it to awaiting_pm_review
and escalates to the CEO with no PR creation — exactly the product
fan-out root path. Adds the submit_root-reject and umbrella-completion
gateway tests; pins batch_id=None on the normal-root submit_root test
(a MagicMock auto-attr would otherwise read as an umbrella).

* feat(batch): MegaTask create path — umbrella + sequenced root-subtasks

PrompterService.confirm_live_batch turns N confirmed drafts into a real
MegaTask: it builds each draft's collision surface, runs the pure
SequencingService to get conflict-free waves, creates the branchless
umbrella (batch_id, no project/product), then one root-subtask per draft
(own project, parent=umbrella, sequence=wave index, descriptors), and
wires the analyzer's edges through add_dependency so the existing
dependency-gate runs the waves in order. The route picks the start path
like a single confirm: 'board' holds the root-subtasks in BACKLOG for the
batch review; 'main_pm' creates them PENDING so wave 0 dispatches at once.

create_task_from_draft gains a BatchPlacement (parent/batch/sequence/
team_override) and forwards the collision descriptors; the exactly-one-
target rule (here and the TaskService.create invariant) is relaxed for an
umbrella, which legitimately targets neither. New route
POST /live/{session}/confirm-batch + BatchConfirmRequest mirror the single
confirm. Adds the structural-invariant + board-hold + empty-batch tests.

* feat(batch): release MegaTask root-subtasks on CEO approval; board awareness

The board route holds a MegaTask's root-subtasks in BACKLOG so the work
waits for the batch review. approve_and_start (CEO gate #1, board->Main PM)
now releases them via _activate_batch_root_subtasks: each held child flips
BACKLOG -> PENDING + team=main_pm so the dependency-gate dispatches wave 0.
No-op for a non-umbrella; idempotent (children past BACKLOG untouched).

The Product Owner and Head of Marketing identity prompts gain a MegaTask
section so they review the whole batch + wave plan and adjust scope before
sign-off (they review drafts; the umbrella is their unit). Also extracts
the create() target invariant into _require_target_or_umbrella to keep the
method under the complexity gate after the umbrella exemption. Adds the
umbrella-approval activation test.

* feat(batch): multi-project intake scope for MegaTask

A MegaTask spans several possibly-unrelated repos, so the intake chat can
now be scoped to an explicit project list (not just one project or one
product). StartLiveRequest gains project_ids; /live/start threads it
through start/spawn_intake_session -> _spawn_intake_container ->
_clone_intake_scope. The multi-repo clone machinery already existed for
products; _intake_scope_slugs now also resolves an explicit project_ids
set (split into _slugs_for_project_ids / _slugs_for_product), cloning each
repo with the first as the primary cwd and the siblings readable. Scope
validation is now 'exactly one of project_slug / product_id / project_ids'
via the shared _require_one_intake_scope. Adds scope-resolution, spawn,
and route tests for the MegaTask path.

* feat(batch): propose_batch intake tool (MegaTask multi-draft hand-off)

The intake agent can now hand the panel a whole MegaTask in one tool call.
Both intake paths gain propose_batch alongside propose_draft:
- Claude (intake_driver): a propose_batch tool registered on the in-SDK
  MCP server + allowlisted; the driver intercepts the ToolUseBlock and
  emits ONE StreamChunk(kind="batch") carrying {drafts:[...], title}.
- grok (intake_server): a propose_batch tool that POSTs a "batch" relay
  event via the shared _post_event helper (post_draft/post_batch).

A batch carries N drafts, each the propose_draft shape PLUS its own
project_id (a MegaTask spans unrelated repos) and collision surface so the
analyzer sequences the waves. The prompter prompt documents the MegaTask
scope + when to call propose_batch. Adds Claude-normalize and grok-relay
tests for the batch path.

* feat(batch): MegaTask intake panel — third scope, batch review, waves

The panel now drives a MegaTask end to end. The intake modal gains a
third scope, 'MegaTask', beside Single cell and Board-led: a multi-project
checklist (a MegaTask spans several possibly-unrelated repos), validated
to at least two. start() sends project_ids; use-prompter accumulates the
agent's single propose_batch hand-off as a 'batch' SSE event into a
BatchProposal and lands in a new batch_preview state.

A new BatchReviewCard lists every proposed task with its target project +
collision-surface badges (migration / shared) and offers one start path
for the whole batch — Board review & Start or Approve & Start — wired to
confirmBatch → POST /confirm-batch. The success card shows the sequenced
result: N tasks in M waves (+ any advisory notes). prompter.ts gains the
DraftScale 'megatask' + the BatchConfirm payload/result types; the SSE
client allows the 'batch' kind. Panel typecheck + lint + 113 tests green.

* docs(batch): MegaTask across changelog, CLAUDE.md, site, and RAG

The four documentation obligations for the MegaTask feature:
- CHANGELOG: an Unreleased entry covering the umbrella model, sequencing,
  multi-project intake, propose_batch, and the create/approval path.
- CLAUDE.md: a MegaTask section (identity predicate, umbrella/root-subtask
  hierarchy, sequencing rules, intake + create path, board activation).
- Published site: a user-facing company/megatask.md (scopes, waves, the
  umbrella, the two start buttons) + nav entry; a pointer added to the
  intake chapter of the Tour.
- RAG corpus: workflows/megatask.md so the Main PM (and any agent) can
  retrieve the umbrella's branchless / no-PR / completion rules at runtime.

The runtime concurrent-migration guard is intentionally NOT added: the
analyzer already chains migration-adders into dependencies and the
dependency-gate serializes them, so a separate guard would be dead code.

* feat(batch): batch_id guardrail + wave preview + batch_id on TaskResponse

Guardrail (CEO): a batch_id is denied on any task that is not a well-formed
MegaTask member. is_valid_batch_shape permits batch_id only on an umbrella
(no parent → must target neither project nor product) or a root-subtask
(has a parent → exactly one target); TaskService.create enforces it AND
verifies a root-subtask's parent is the batch umbrella (same batch_id,
top-level). This closes a latent hole: is_batch_umbrella is true for a
batch_id + no-parent task even with a project, so a stray batch_id could
have spoofed the branchless branch-gate / no-PR exemption. (The public
task API never exposed batch_id for write; this guards the service layer.)

Wave preview: PrompterService.preview_batch + POST .../preview-batch
compute a MegaTask's waves from the proposed drafts WITHOUT creating
anything, so the panel can show the sequencing before confirm. Extracted
_sequence_drafts as the single source shared by preview and confirm, so
the previewed waves are exactly the ones wired.

TaskResponse now carries batch_id so the panel can badge the umbrella.

* feat(batch): MegaTask review — project editor, wave preview, persistence, badge

Closes the panel gaps in the MegaTask review experience:
- Per-task project editor: each proposed task gets an inline project
  Select (updateBatchDraftProject), so a task the agent put in the wrong
  or no repo can be fixed before launch — not only by re-chatting. Launch
  stays blocked until every task has a project.
- Wave preview: on a batch proposal the panel fetches POST .../preview-batch
  (no task created) and shows the conflict-free wave plan, so the human
  reviews the sequencing before confirming.
- Refresh durability: the MegaTask review (batch + waves + projectIds) is
  persisted, so a browser reload mid-review restores it like a single draft.
- MegaTask badge: TaskResponse exposes batch_id, the panel Task type
  carries it, and the task table badges the umbrella row 'MegaTask'.

Panel typecheck + lint + 113 tests green.

* test(batch): stub task carries batch_id for task_to_response

task_to_response now serializes batch_id (TaskResponse field), so the
_stub_task SimpleNamespace fixture must provide it — without it the reader
hit AttributeError, failing the 8 task-schema serialization/enrichment
tests. Test-only; the real TaskTable carries the column (migration 046).

* fix(batch): close MegaTask audit gaps — completion crash, analyzer cycle, guardrails

An adversarial multi-agent audit of the feature surfaced 20 verified gaps;
this closes the backend ones.

HIGH:
- Umbrella completion crashed. escalate_to_ceo hard-required a pr_number,
  which a branchless umbrella never has, so main_pm_complete dereferenced
  None. Both pr_number gates now waive a MegaTask umbrella (escalate_to_ceo
  + the awaiting_pm_review->awaiting_ceo_approval lifecycle gate via a new
  GitContext.is_umbrella), and main_pm_complete guards a None return. The
  completion test had mocked escalate_to_ceo, hiding it — now a real
  service test covers the waiver.
- The collision analyzer could fabricate a cycle (a touches_shared +
  adds_migration draft overlapping another migration draft) and raise
  SequencingError — a bare ValueError that escaped as an opaque 500. The
  migration chain is now shared-last-aware (never contradicts rule 3), and
  _sequence_drafts translates SequencingError to a clean 400.

MEDIUM:
- Collisions are now project-scoped: two repos can't collide on a
  coincidental path or serialize independent migrations (DraftSurface
  carries project_id; rules 1/2/3 respect it).
- The batch_id guardrail ran only at create. update() + the PATCH
  null-clear path now re-assert is_valid_batch_shape, so a mutation can't
  break a member's shape and spoof the branchless exemption.
- A draft missing title/acceptance_criteria now raises ValidationError
  (was a bare KeyError -> 500).
- confirm_live_batch re-asserts every draft targets a scoped project and
  the batch spans >=2 distinct projects (project_ids added to the request).
- Route-level tests for confirm-batch / preview-batch.

LOW: strict multi-repo clone (fail loud on any unresolvable project);
malformed/empty propose_batch surfaces an error chunk (Claude) / refuses
to POST (grok) instead of silently acking; dropped malformed drafts are
counted and surfaced; stale grok intake docstrings updated.

* fix(batch): MegaTask panel + doc audit gaps

Frontend half of the audit fixes:
- The confirm payload now carries project_ids (the schema requires it), and
  the panel re-checks every task targets one of the scoped repos before
  launching, naming the offending task.
- The Review-MegaTask project picker is filtered to the scoped repos and
  the per-task validity (border + launch gate) keys off scoped membership,
  so a task can only be (re)pointed at an in-scope project — also fixing the
  case where the agent emitted a non-UUID / unknown project.
- Dropped malformed drafts are surfaced as a chat error so the human knows
  the batch shrank instead of silently confirming fewer tasks.
- Doc wording: a wave releases on the previous wave's terminal state
  (normally a merge; a cancellation releases it too), not strictly 'merged'.

* test(batch): lock the CEO's EXACT 4-wave hand-sequencing as the golden bar

The golden test asserted the constraints (S6 last, the migration chain, the
shared-threats serialization, S1/S2/S7 parallel) but not the full wave
partition. The bar for MegaTask is 'reproduce my exact waves or it's not
done', so assert the exact 4-wave partition the analyzer produces for the
guard-core-app batch:
  wave 1: R1 R2 S1 S2 S3 S5 S7  ·  wave 2: R3  ·  wave 3: R4 S8  ·  wave 4: S6
Confirmed unchanged by the audit's analyzer fixes (no migration is shared;
single project).

* fix(batch): tolerate a stub task in assert_batch_shape_intact

The batch-shape re-validation read task.batch_id directly, but update()'s
partial-caller contract is exercised with a SimpleNamespace stub that has no
batch_id column → AttributeError. Use getattr(..., None) for batch_id and the
shape fields so the guard no-ops on any task lacking the column (a stub, or a
non-batch task) while still enforcing on a real batch member.

* fix(orchestrator): authenticate internal API self-calls with the system identity

The dispatcher httpx clients were built without an agent identity, so the
orchestrator's self-PATCHes to /api/tasks/{id} (auto-block, auto-resume,
auto-recover, SLA annotation) were rejected 401 "Missing X-Agent-ID" and
silently no-op'd. The auto-resume that lifts a PM's paused parent could never
write, so paused/blocked parents stayed wedged and stranded their dependents
(the fe-pm/be-pm respawn churn seen in prod).

Header propagation was inconsistent across the separate AsyncClient call-sites:
only the main dispatch client carried the system identity; the readiness and
sweep clients did not. Hoist the identity into a shared _SYSTEM_API_HEADERS
constant and apply it to every API-facing dispatcher client. The system role
holds TaskAction.ASSIGN, so it is authorized for the audited admin_set_status
path those write routes use. The external provider-recovery probe client is
intentionally left untouched.

Renn F 3ff6967b9d fix(content): keep coordination notes off dev_notes / quick_context
Two agent-authored fields were leaking non-developer content into the
human note columns the panel renders:

- apply_escalation appended '[ESCALATED] From X to Y\nReason: ...' to
  dev_notes (the developer's space). On a re-escalation loop a stuck cell
  PM grew one task's dev_notes to ~8KB across 5 escalations. It now writes
  a structured orchestration_markers['escalation'] record; the target
  still learns the reason from the escalate notification.
- approve_and_start string-packed 'approve_and_start_notes:<text>' into
  quick_context (raw key:value soup). It now writes
  orchestration_markers['approve_and_start_notes'], leaving quick_context
  for the human ResumptionNote only.

Adds typed marker accessors (get/set_escalation, get/set_approve_and_start_notes)
and refactors _record_pr_review under the complexity bound by extracting
_compose_review_body. Documents update_task_with_message as the legacy
A2A-protocol log (dev_notes is intentional there, not pollution).

a6b67a6a58 Feat: board redraft loop (#139)
* feat(board): expose board review brief + guard approve-and-start

Slice 1 of the board-informed intake re-draft loop (backend foundation):

- JournalService.board_review_brief(task_id): the PO + Head of Marketing
  DECISION_LOG entries for a task, oldest-first, each tagged with author —
  the board's review as structured data.
- GET /api/tasks/{task_id}/board-review (PM-or-above) backing the CEO's
  approval/redraft surface, so the real board analysis is readable instead
  of a placeholder; BoardReviewEntry response schema.
- Guard: approve_and_start now refuses a board task whose review is not
  complete (service invariant + precise BOARD_REVIEW_INCOMPLETE at the route).
  Previously only the UI hid the button; the backend let an early/rogue call
  hand the task to Main PM mid-review.

Tests: brief filtering/ordering + endpoint (200/404) + the two guard paths.

* feat(panel): show real board review at the approve gate + live refresh

Slice 1 frontend of the board-informed intake re-draft loop:

- tasksApi.getBoardReview + useBoardReview hook consume GET
  /tasks/{id}/board-review.
- The Approve & Start dialog now renders the actual Product Owner + Head of
  Marketing notes (markdown) instead of a static placeholder, so the CEO reads
  the board's analysis before approving.
- C2: useTask polls (4s) while a task is still on the board with an
  incomplete review, so the Approve & Start button appears as soon as the
  board finishes — there is no per-task websocket. Polling stops once
  board_review_complete flips.

* feat(intake): board-informed re-draft loop (backend, cold path)

Slice 2 of the re-draft loop:

- update_live_draft: apply a board-informed re-draft to the EXISTING task in
  place (title/description/acceptance_criteria) — never a duplicate — then route
  it: 'main_pm' hands it to the Main PM via approve_and_start; 'board' clears
  board_review_complete for another review round.
- confirm route branches on task_id → update_live_draft vs confirm_live_draft;
  LiveConfirmRequest.task_id added (scope taken from the task, not required).
- POST /live/re-interview/{task_id} (PM-or-above): spawns a fresh intake session
  seeded with the current draft + the board brief (compose_redraft_message),
  scoped to the task's product/project. The cold path + Slice-3 fallback.
- format_board_briefing / compose_redraft_message helpers.

Tests: pure helpers + update_live_draft (main_pm hand-off, re-board reset,
missing-task).

* feat(panel): board-informed re-draft entry + prompter re-draft guidance

Slice 2 panel of the re-draft loop:

- 'Re-draft with board feedback' button on a board-reviewed task detail →
  /prompter?redraft=<taskId>.
- usePrompter.startRedraft(taskId): calls POST /prompter/live/re-interview/{id},
  scopes the chat to the task, and streams the re-draft; redraftTaskId is
  threaded (persisted across reload) so confirm carries task_id and updates the
  existing task in place rather than creating a duplicate.
- prompterLiveApi.reInterview; ConfirmPayload.task_id.
- Prompter role prompt: a 'Re-drafting after board review' section so the agent
  revises the included draft from the board brief instead of starting over.

Panel verified by CI (no local node_modules).

* feat(intake): keep-alive re-draft — park the intake agent during board review

Slice 3 of the re-draft loop (in-context fidelity; cold path is the fallback):

- Registry: LiveIntakeSession.task_id + park(session_id, task_id) (keep alive
  instead of reaping) + find_by_task() for board-completion injection.
- Confirm: the board route (first pass) PARKS the intake agent instead of
  reaping, so it keeps the whole interview in context.
- Orchestrator: on board-review completion, inject the synthesized board brief
  into the parked session (_inject_board_brief_into_parked_intake) so the
  resident prompter re-drafts in-context. No-op when nothing is parked (the
  container died / a new intake replaced it) — the cold /re-interview path
  covers that. No reaper change needed (an idle parked session spends no tokens
  and the budget sweep is the only agent-stopping sweep).
- Panel: confirm(board) keeps the chat alive (parked, redraftTaskId set) with a
  notice; the injected revised draft arrives over the existing stream to approve.

Tests: registry park/find_by_task/closed-ignored. Container delivery + the full
panel parked flow need live (container-runtime) verification.

110aaa7a77 Chore: v1 removal gateway canonical (#46)
* chore(agent_sdk): remove dead /traceability/remind endpoint and reminder map

The TRACEABILITY_REMINDERS dict and its /traceability/remind endpoint were
keyed entirely on pre-gateway tool names (roboco_task_*, roboco_journal_*,
roboco_message_send, roboco_session_create_for_tasks) deleted in the gateway
cutover. The endpoint had zero callers; v2 enforces traceability server-side
in the Choreographer.

* fix(bootstrap,seeds): onboarding prompts call give_me_work(), not deleted roboco_task_scan()

The startup prompt and the seeded cell/all-hands channel onboarding messages
instructed agents to call roboco_task_scan() — a tool removed in the gateway
cutover. Point them at the live give_me_work() flow verb.

* fix: replace remaining deleted v1 tool names with gateway verbs

Spawn prompts, onboarding strings, remediation messages, and comments still
referenced pre-gateway tools deleted in the cutover (roboco_task_*,
roboco_agent_idle, roboco_notify_*, roboco_message_send,
roboco_session_create_for_tasks, roboco_journal_*, roboco_escalate). Rewrote
each to the correct role-scoped gateway verb (give_me_work/i_will_work_on for
workers, triage for PMs, i_am_done vs complete, notify/notify_ack, escalate_up,
unclaim, i_documented, open_session, note). Updated one enforcement-message
test that matched the old tool name by coincidence.

* test: guard against deleted v1 tool names reappearing in roboco/

Scans roboco/ for the deleted pre-gateway tool names; excludes the orphaned
roboco/agents/ subtree (removed in a later phase).

* chore(exceptions): drop 8 unused pre-gateway exception classes + their tests

LLMError, RAGError, AlreadyExistsError, TaskBlockedError, TaskClaimError,
AgentNotAvailableError, AgentBusyError, NotificationPermissionError were never
raised in production. SessionClosedError/DatabaseError are kept (live + tested).

* chore(models): drop unused pre-gateway notification/channel/handoff factories

Removes create_task_assignment/_blocker_escalation/_review_request/
_documentation_request/_priority_change/_alert/_broadcast, create_cell_channel/
_cross_cell_channel/_announcements_channel, create_handoff (+ HandoffParams),
ProactiveContext, and A2APartType. The gateway choreographer builds these
server-side now. Drops the matching dead-code tests.

* chore(services): drop unused pre-gateway permission/messaging/audit/optimal/remediation methods

These pre-gateway helpers (channel-permission checks, channel-membership ops,
permission-denial audit hooks, doc ingestion, two remediation hints) have no
production caller — the gateway role_config + enforcement layer replaced them.
Drops the matching dead-code tests; live methods (send_message, the SESSION_*
flow, log_task_action_denial, etc.) are untouched.

* chore(orchestrator,ws,events,config): drop unused pre-gateway lifecycle/broadcast/roster symbols

orchestrator: get_running_agents, is_agent_busy, queue_priority_work,
get_all_instances (+ their OrchestratorAccessProtocol declarations in events.py).
websocket: broadcast_new_message, broadcast_session_closed (no event type emits
them). agents_config: ALL_PMS/ALL_DEVS/ALL_QA/CELL_PMS roster constants (ALL_DOCS
stays — it gates docs-write workspace perms).

* refactor(agents): delete orphaned pre-gateway agent subtree + dead organization model

The Gateway/full cutover replaced the Python agent-class implementations with
the server-side Choreographer; the classes survived only as a self-referential
island. Removes roboco/agents/{base,mixins,factory,board,developer,documenter,
pm,qa,orchestrator}.py and roboco/agents/factories/{board,cells,developers,
documenters,pms,qa}.py, plus roboco/models/organization.py (Cell/Board/
Organization — used only by those factories). Keeps factories/_base.py
(compose_prompt — the live prompt-layer composer the orchestrator calls at
spawn) behind minimal package __init__ files.

* chore(db): drop dead tasks.execution_log + outputs columns (migration 015)

Both JSON columns had zero readers/writers in code, tests, and migrations —
execution progress is tracked via progress_updates and artifacts via
commits/documents. Removes the ORM columns, the Pydantic Task.execution_log/
outputs fields, the ExecutionLog/FileRef models (+ their __init__ exports), and
the now-invalid kwargs from test fixtures. Migration 015 (down_revision
014_drop_pm_approvals) verified live: upgrade drops, downgrade re-adds.
Apply on the NAS with 'alembic upgrade head' at next deploy.

* chore(config): drop 16 unread Settings fields

Verified unused (no settings.X, no self.X property use, no getattr-by-name):
app_name, reload, workers, openai_api_key, secret_key, access_token_expire_minutes,
algorithm, log_level, log_format, the four session_* limits, message_max_length,
commit_subject_min_chars, commit_banned_words, agent_budget_sweep_interval_seconds.
Removes the empty Logging + Sessions&Messages sections and orphaned .env.example
vars. Kept: redis_db/redis_password (redis_url property), agent_sla_* (read via
getattr in task_lifecycle), encryption_key, and all live thresholds.

NOTE: commit_banned_words/commit_subject_min_chars and
agent_budget_sweep_interval_seconds were feature-config never wired to their
consumer (commit validator / budget sweep) — removed as dead, but flagged in
case the intent was to wire them.

* test(lifecycle): give i_will_work_on calls a substantive plan (#171 contract)

The real-DB lifecycle tests called i_will_work_on with a 13-char plan and no
risks/technical_considerations, so the substantive-plan gate (#171) rejected
them with incomplete_input — failing on master. Supply a >=150-char plan plus
technical_considerations and risks (mirroring tests/unit/gateway/
test_choreographer_dev.py). All 6 now pass; gate runs with no deselect.

* feat(gateway): wire commit-validator thresholds to settings

commit_subject_min_chars and commit_banned_words were config defined but never
read — the gateway commit() gate used the validator's hardcoded module defaults.
Re-add the two Settings fields and pass them through validate_commit_message in
content_actions.commit(), so config is the source of truth (validator defaults
remain the standalone/CI fallback). Adds wiring tests that monkeypatch settings
and assert the gate honors them.

* refactor(orchestrator): retire gateway_enabled flag; trigger_filter is unconditional

The gateway_enabled Settings field gated only the trigger_filter spawn-cooldown
(never the agent tool surface). Prod ran it on; the Phase-0 'legacy dispatch
path' it guarded no longer exists. Remove the field + the early-return branch in
gateway_pre_spawn_check so the cooldown runs for every spawn, drop the now-dead
ROBOCO_GATEWAY_ENABLED from docker-compose.yml, and update the stale Phase-0
comments + cooldown test. The per-container ROBOCO_GATEWAY_ENABLED env (set by
_append_manifest_args, read by agent_sdk to load the manifest) is unaffected.

* refactor(api): relabel /api/v2 -> /api/v1 as the canonical gateway surface

The gateway is the only agent API now, so the 'v2' label (with no v1) was
misleading. Renames roboco/api/routes/v2 -> routes/v1, schemas/v2 -> schemas/v1
(+ the matching test dirs and test_v2_role_dep/test_schemas_v2_flow files),
rewrites every /api/v2 path, routes.v2/schemas.v2 import, and v2-* router tag to
v1, and refreshes the stale 'v2' comments/docstrings. The panel is untouched (it
uses the unversioned /api/* REST routes). flow_server/do_server now POST to
/api/v1/*.

* docs(scripts): reset_runtime_state header matches actual SQL behavior

The header claimed it preserves groups + journals, but the .sql wipes both
(verified live: groups 6->0, journals 5->0; only agents/projects/channels
survive). Correct the wiped/preserved lists to match.

* refactor(gateway): extract _build_rich_plan to drop i_will_work_on under the complexity gate

i_will_work_on was cyclomatic rank C (11) — one over the xenon --max-absolute B
threshold — because of the five `x or default` fallbacks in the rich_plan dict.
Move that dict into a small _build_rich_plan helper (behaviour identical); both
methods are now rank B. make quality is fully green (xenon was its last failure;
bandit already passed — its 34 findings are all LOW severity, filtered by -ll).

* feat(foundation): add canonical CELL_TEAMS set; dedupe cell-subset literals

* feat(db): add ProductTable + ProductProjectTable ORM (per-cell project map)

* feat(task): add additive nullable product_id (ORM + model + DTO + create threading)

* feat(task): thread product_id through create_subtask/route/response

* feat(db): migration 016 — products, product_projects, tasks.product_id

* fix(db): document migration 016 plan deviations (revision len, FK name)

Two values in migration 016 intentionally diverge from the Task 2.4 plan
literals; this strengthens the in-file justification so the deviations are
self-documenting and verifiable.

- revision id (plan line 623): the plan's 36-char
  "016_add_products_and_task_product_id" overflows alembic_version.version_num
  (VARCHAR(32)) — alembic upgrade head raises asyncpg
  StringDataRightTruncationError. Kept at 27 chars
  ("016_add_products_product_id") so Step 4's live round-trip stays green.
- downgrade FK name (plan line 683): roboco/db/base.py sets a metadata
  naming_convention, so the FK upgrade() creates is
  "fk_tasks_product_id_products", not the Postgres default
  "tasks_product_id_fkey". The plan literal does not exist in the DB and
  would fail the downgrade with "constraint does not exist".

Both verified via the live upgrade/downgrade round-trip on a throwaway DB.

Issue 3 note: the prior commit (b896cac) also touched
tests/unit/api/test_schemas_tasks.py (added product_id=None to the
task_to_response stub). That line is load-bearing — task_to_response reads
task.product_id (added in Task 2.3, commit 67afa6b) — and belongs to Task 2.3's
scope; it is left in place because removing it breaks 4 tests and history is
not rewritten.

* refactor(db): trim migration 016 deviation notes to plan-faithful form

Reverts the out-of-scope documentation expansion (commit 1a4f296), which
was a second undocumented commit beyond Task 2.4's single plan-specified
commit and only bloated the migration docstring/comments.

The migration file now matches the plan-specified commit (b896cac) byte for
byte: the two necessary deviations from the plan literals stay (revision id
shortened to fit alembic_version.version_num VARCHAR(32); downgrade FK name
follows db/base.py's metadata naming_convention), each kept to a concise
inline note in the plan's header style.

The Task 2.3-scoped test stub line (tests/unit/api/test_schemas_tasks.py
product_id=None) is load-bearing — task_to_response reads task.product_id —
and is left in place; history is not rewritten.

Verified: live alembic upgrade head + downgrade to 015 round-trip on a
throwaway DB drops products/product_projects/tasks.product_id cleanly, and
make quality is green.

* refactor(test): annotate db_session and drop type: ignore in migration 016 test

Annotate the test_products_tables_and_task_fk_exist param as
db_session: AsyncSession (imported under TYPE_CHECKING) and remove the
# type: ignore[no-untyped-def] suppression, matching the typed db_session
pattern used across tests/integration/.

* feat(models): Product + ProductCreate/Update + ProductCellMapping (cell-validated)

* refactor(models): minimize ProductCellMapping config override to use_enum_values

The previous override re-declared validate_assignment, populate_by_name,
and extra=forbid, which RobocoBase already supplies. Pydantic merges
model_config across inheritance, so overriding only use_enum_values=False
is sufficient to keep team as a real Team enum (required so team in
CELL_TEAMS and enum identity hold for callers) while inheriting the rest
of the base config.

* fix(models): document ProductCellMapping use_enum_values override as plan-mandated

Resolves SPEC-COMPLIANCE review notes for Task 3.1 (Product domain models).

1. The ProductCellMapping use_enum_values=False override is a deviation from a
   bare project.py mirror, but it is mandated by the plan's own Task 3.1 code:
   RobocoBase sets use_enum_values=True, which coerces team to the plain string
   "backend". The plan's Step 1 test asserts m.team is Team.BACKEND (enum
   identity) and the Step 3 validator formats its error with v.value, both of
   which require team to remain a real Team enum. The override is therefore
   necessary; this commit relabels the comment to cite the specific spec lines
   that force it instead of leaving it as an unexplained departure. Downstream
   Task 3.2 (_replace_cells / project_for) already tolerates either form and the
   ORM stores the same value regardless, so the override has no behavioral reach
   beyond the in-memory enum identity the plan's test checks.

2. test_product_model.py hoists 'from uuid import uuid4' to module level rather
   than inline (as the plan's verbatim Step 1 code shows) because the global
   Pylint PLC0415 rule (import-outside-top-level) forbids inline imports and
   there is no per-file-ignore for tests/unit/models/. The hoisted form is the
   only ruff-clean rendering of the plan's test; left unchanged here.

3. Task 3.1 landed across two commits (c616d95 create, 6ebad255 refactor) rather
   than the plan's single Step 5 commit. Earlier history is intentionally not
   rewritten; this single follow-up commit brings the model to its final
   spec-faithful, fully-documented state.

* feat(service): ProductService CRUD + project_for per-cell resolver

* feat(api): Product CRUD routes + schemas, wired into the app

* fix(api): roll back and map cell-replacement IntegrityError on product update

update_product replaced cells via ProductService._replace_cells without
any try/except, so a duplicate-team cell (uq_product_projects_product_team)
or a non-existent project_id (product_projects.project_id FK) raised an
IntegrityError at flush, poisoning the AsyncSession and surfacing an
unhandled 500 with no rollback. Wrap the update + commit in a try/except
that rolls back and maps the UNIQUE violation to 409 and the FK violation
to 422, mirroring create_product's rollback discipline. Add integration
tests covering both client-error paths.

* fix(api): map create_product cell-mapping IntegrityError to 409/422

create_product only caught the slug conflict ('already exists' in str(e))
and bare-raised everything else, so a cells entry whose project_id does not
reference any project let the product_projects.project_id FK IntegrityError
propagate out of the route as an unhandled 500. The matching update_product
path was already hardened (uq_product_projects_product_team -> 409, FK
violation -> 422); apply the same mapping in create_product so a bad
project_id (or a duplicate-team cell) is a client error, not a server error.
The slug conflict is now caught as ConflictError directly instead of via a
broad except + string match.

* feat(gateway): add optional project_id to delegate inputs/request/routes

* feat(gateway): per-cell project routing (override -> product map -> parent) + product_id inheritance

* feat(task): approve_and_start — reassign board task to Main PM (CEO gate #1)

* feat(api): POST /tasks/{id}/approve-and-start (CEO gate #1, notes-required)

* test(api): cover approve-and-start 404-before-notes-gate for missing task

* feat(panel): Product types + Task.product_id

* feat(panel): productsApi + hooks + tasksApi.approveAndStart

* feat(panel): Products management screen + sidebar nav

* feat(panel): Approve & Start button (CEO gate #1)

* fix(api): narrow delete_product to IntegrityError + cover 204/409 delete paths

* test(task): assert approve_and_start persists + appends the audit note

* refactor(db): migration 016 names the tasks.product_id FK explicitly (house style)

* fix(db): make migrations authoritative + self-heal orphan product tables

init_db() no longer silently falls back to create_all when alembic upgrade
fails. That fallback masked migration failures and, since create_all cannot
ALTER an existing table, left the schema inconsistent — turning an unapplied
migration 016 into a crash loop: 016's CREATE TABLE products failed, the
upgrade rolled back, create_all re-created an empty orphan products table, and
every later boot failed again on the now-existing table while tasks.product_id
never got added. Now a migration failure is raised so the real error surfaces.

Migration 016 additionally drops EMPTY orphan products/product_projects tables
left by the old fallback before creating them, so an already-polluted DB
self-heals on the next deploy with no manual SQL. Skipped in offline (--sql)
mode; refuses to drop a table that holds rows.

* fix(db): create_all is the schema source of truth; alembic for increments

The Alembic chain is incomplete relative to the ORM — columns/tables like
notifications.delivered_at and the RAG indexed_documents table have NO migration
and have only ever been materialized by create_all. Tests don't catch this
because the test DB is also built via create_all, so migrations are never
exercised. The prior 'migrations are authoritative' init_db (and before it, the
create_all-only-on-failure fallback) therefore left a migrate-only boot with
missing columns/tables.

init_db now reflects reality:
  - Fresh DB  -> create_all builds the full current ORM schema, then stamp
                 Alembic at head so later incremental migrations apply.
  - Existing  -> run pending migrations (a real failure is raised, not masked),
                 then create_all(checkfirst) to gap-fill any missing ORM tables.
create_all cannot add a column to an existing table, so an ORM column added
without a migration needs a fresh rebuild of that table to appear.

* fix(db): migration 017 reconciles the Alembic chain with the full ORM schema

For years the live schema was built by create_all, not migrations, so the chain
drifted — tables/columns/indexes in the ORM had no migration (the
indexed_documents table, notifications.delivered_at, ~15 indexes, plus
timestamptz/server-default metadata). With init_db no longer masking that via a
create_all fallback, a migrate-only boot was missing those objects.

017 was produced by 'alembic revision --autogenerate' against Base.metadata,
reviewed, and verified: on a fresh DB, 'alembic upgrade head' (001..017) now
reproduces the create_all schema EXACTLY — a re-run of autogenerate detects zero
changes — and the 017 upgrade/downgrade round-trips cleanly. The migration chain
is now complete: migrate-only and create_all converge.

Also updates the init_db tests to assert the new behaviour (raise on an existing
DB's migration failure; create_all + stamp head on a fresh DB) instead of the
removed silent fallback.

* feat(panel): Product picker in the New Task form (drives per-cell routing)

The Products screen and Approve & Start button shipped, but the task-creation
form had no way to attach a Product — so a human couldn't set product_id from
the UI, which is exactly what drives per-cell project routing of delegated
subtasks. Adds an optional Product dropdown (Advanced -> Git config) populated
from useProducts(); 'None' falls back to the single project.

* fix(db): seed data is preserved on a fresh DB (run migrations, not bare create_all)

The previous fresh-DB path (create_all + stamp head) built the tables but never
ran the migration chain, so migration-embedded SEED DATA was skipped — most
visibly the AI providers seeded in 004. After a DB reset that left
provider_configs empty, so PUT /api/providers/ollama-key 404'd (the handler
raises NotFoundError when the Ollama provider row is missing).

Since migration 017 made the chain reproduce the full ORM schema, init_db now
runs 'alembic upgrade head' from base on a fresh DB — building every
table/column/index AND running the seeds. Verified: a fresh upgrade head seeds
both provider rows. Existing DBs still get migrations + create_all gap-fill.
Updates the init_db fresh-DB test accordingly.

* feat(task): project_id optional when a product_id is set (board fan-out tasks)

A board task that fans out across cells via a Product has no single repo of its
own — backend/frontend/ux_ui are each wrong, because the root coordinates and
delegates. Forcing one arbitrary Project was broken design (flagged at design
time). project_id is now nullable; a task must have project_id OR product_id:
  - TaskCreate model validator + a TaskService.create() invariant (covers every
    create path).
  - ORM/DTO/schema: project_id nullable; task_to_response uses to_python_uuid.
  - Gateway: a parent with only a product can delegate (guard now needs BOTH
    project and product to be None to reject); _resolve_subtask_project resolves
    each subtask from the product map and raises a clear error if a cell has no
    mapping and no parent project.
  - Migration 018 (tasks.project_id nullable), round-trip verified; fresh
    upgrade head still seeds providers.
  - Panel: Project no longer required once a Product is selected.
  - Removed the dead, never-called a2a create_task_from_message (it could only
    ever create a repo-less task) + its two coverage-only tests.

make quality green; panel tsc/lint/build green.

* Upgrade to Minimax M3

* fix(db): seed providers on existing DBs + correct enum casing

Migration 004 created the modelprovider/assignmentscope enums and seeded
provider rows in UPPERCASE, but the ORM (_str_enum) reads/writes the
lowercase StrEnum .value — so a fresh migrate-from-base DB built an enum
the ORM cannot read. Lowercase the enum labels and seed values in 004.

Add idempotent migration 019 to (re)seed the Anthropic + Ollama Cloud
providers with ON CONFLICT (name) DO NOTHING, so an existing DB whose
provider_configs table was created by create_all (and never ran 004's
seed) gets the rows on the next `alembic upgrade head` — fixing the
/api/providers/ollama-key 404 without a volume wipe.

* fix(tasks): let board/fan-out coordination tasks flow without a repo

A coordination task (project_id NULL, product_id set) targets no repo of
its own — it fans out to cell subtasks that each resolve a real project
from the product's cell->project map. Several paths still assumed every
task does git work and blocked it:

- orchestrator: add _is_coordination_task() and exempt these tasks from
  the project/branch/git-token gates in _readiness_check_task,
  _readiness_gate, _check_stuck_conditions, _validate_task_for_spawn.
- services/task.py: _ensure_branch_for_task returns "" (no branch) for a
  coordination task instead of raising; activate requires project OR
  product. This unblocks Main PM's i_will_plan claim, which otherwise
  raised before it could delegate the fan-out.
- gateway: _pending_assignment_guard exempts advisory roles
  (product_owner/head_marketing/auditor) from the "assigned but never
  claimed" idle gate — they review without claiming, so they could not
  satisfy a claim-or-unclaim remediation.

Adds focused unit tests for each.

* fix(tasks): coordination tasks reach in_progress + team reflects Main PM

The board->cells fan-out deadlocked: a coordination/fan-out task (product set,
no project of its own) could be created and claimed, but start()'s
claimed->in_progress transition hit validate_git_requirements, which still
demanded a branch_name and raised GitRequirementError. So Main PM's i_will_plan
never completed — it looped and never delegated. c961282 exempted
_ensure_branch_for_task (branch creation) but missed this parallel git gate in
the enforcement layer.

- task_lifecycle.py: add GitContext.is_coordination; skip the
  claimed->in_progress branch_name gate when it is set.
- task.py: populate is_coordination=(project_id is None and product_id is not
  None) in _validate_and_set_status; a branchless code task is still gated.
- approve_and_start: set team=Team.MAIN_PM on hand-off so the task isn't left
  labelled team=board after it leaves the board (now assigned to main-pm).

Adds a lifecycle-gate unit test and an end-to-end integration test that
claims, plans, and starts a project-less coordination task.

* fix(hooks): remove dead traceability hook + stale deleted-verb references

The v1-removal cleanup (2cfbf39) deleted the /traceability/remind SDK endpoint
but left the PostToolUse hook that curls it, so every gateway tool call 404'd
and agents silently lost their traceability reminders. Remove the dangling hook
(registration + TRACEABILITY_TRIGGER_TOOLS + Dockerfile COPY + the script); v2
carries per-verb guidance on the Envelope. Also correct two stale pre-gateway
tool names in hook text: the budget loop-detector nudged agents toward the
deleted roboco_task_escalate() (now unclaim()/i_am_idle(), which every looping
role has), and an sdk-startup comment referenced roboco_task_scan/get.

Extends the deleted-tool-name guard to scan docker/scripts/*.sh and to assert
every $SDK_URL/<path> a hook curls is a route still served by the SDK — the
check that would have caught this class (it lives in shell, invisible to mypy
and the Python import graph).

* fix(db): backfill ORM enum values the migration chain never added

Several StrEnum values were added to the ORM over time without a matching
`ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE` migration; 017 was autogenerate-derived and
autogenerate does not detect added enum labels, so the drift survived. On a DB
whose enum type predates the value, binding it raises at runtime — e.g.
`invalid input value for enum notificationtype: "a2a_request"` on
GET /api/notifications (list_system_notifications), and the same class for
blockerresolvertype/handoffstatus/team.

Migration 020 adds every drifted value idempotently (ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS —
no-op when 009 already reconciled it). Runs on the next `alembic upgrade head`.

Detected by comparing each ORM enum's values to the labels the migration chain
produces; adds tests/unit/test_enum_migration_parity.py which renders the chain
offline and fails on any future drift — the check that would have caught both
this and the provider-enum bug.

* fix(orchestrator): stop branch auto-block, board reassign, unblock livelock, agentless claims

Cluster C1 — four coupled orchestrator/task-invariant defects:

#18: a branch is created only at claim, so a pending, never-claimed code task
legitimately has no branch_name. The stuck-detection sweep (pending-only) and
readiness gate flagged that as "Task missing branch_name" and auto-blocked the
task every tick, so it never dispatched. Centralize the gate in
_branch_is_expected (status in claimed/in_progress/verifying, never a
coordination task) and apply it in both _check_stuck_conditions and
_readiness_check_task.

#14: the main_pm -> product_owner escalation rung handed an in_progress
descendant code task to the Product Owner (a board role) and marked it BLOCKED;
the board has no verb to own code work, so the dev's finished work deadlocked.
TaskService.apply_escalation (the single write primitive — covers both the
gateway escalate verb and the HTTP escalate route) now diverts a descendant code
task targeting a board/advisory role: it releases the task to PENDING for a
role-matched cell claim instead of stranding it.

#17: a blocked task reassigned to Main PM kept respawning the ex-assignee cell
PM to unblock it, but the assignee-only pre-unblock note returned not_authorized
— a livelock. _dispatch_blocker_work now dispatches the task's CURRENT PM/board
assignee (the unblock authority), falling back to the cell PM only when no
PM/board holds it. Also: a branchless coordination parent yields no valid merge
target — resolve_parent_branch now falls back to the child's own project default
branch (e.g. master) via TaskService.project_default_branch_for_task, and
_check_parent_branch_ready no longer blocks a child on a coordination parent's
non-existent branch.

#19: a task left claimed/in_progress with an assignee but no running container
was invisibly stuck (only PENDING tasks get fresh dispatch; the heartbeat reaper
can't see a freshly-seeded claim). New _dispatch_claimed_without_agent net:
after a short grace window it respawns the assignee, or releases the claim to
pending (lifecycle-safe via unclaim_for_reaper) when the assignee is unknown.
New config ROBOCO_CLAIMED_NO_AGENT_GRACE_SECONDS (default 120).

* fix(gateway): tolerant note verb + lock evidence do-tool invariant

#15: the note verb no longer hard-rejects thin decision/reflect payloads.
List-typed fields (options, consequences, next_steps) coerce a lone scalar
into a one-element list at both the NoteRequest schema (mode=before
validator) and the service layer; missing narrative fields default to a
visible placeholder instead of returning incomplete_input. The note is
always recorded, preserving audit value, and a well-intentioned note can no
longer trip the do-server 3-strikes circuit breaker. Widen the agent-facing
do_server.note hints to accept list-or-scalar and refresh the docstrings.

#8: add regression coverage locking the invariant that every role's do_tools
carries evidence (role_config + developer spawn manifest). The current source
already registers mcp__roboco-do__evidence for developers end-to-end; the
report stemmed from a stale deployed build, and the tests prevent silent
regression.

* fix(gateway): allow UX devs to receive design tasks; surface delegation rules to cell PM

The UX/UI cell's developers (ux-dev-1/ux-dev-2, Role.DEVELOPER on
Team.UX_UI) ARE its designers, but _validate_assignee_task_type rejected
task_type='design' for every DEVELOPER, blocking the UX cell's normal
design delegation. Allow 'design' for UX-team devs only; backend/frontend
devs stay rejected (design routing belongs to the UX cell). The
orchestrator already dispatches a developer for a design task
(_dev_dispatch_role_matches returns True), so this creates no orphan like
the documentation case.

Replace the static Cell-PM 'pass planning' remediate with a per-assignee
hint so a dev/design mis-type gets a developer-class next-step instead of
an off-topic planning hint.

Surface the three delegation guardrails in the cell-PM prompt so PMs stop
probing them by trial and error: valid task_type per assignee (incl.
design for UX devs), documentation auto-creation (non-delegatable), and
the sequential single-active code-spine. Fix the delegate-row task_type
list (documentation is NOT delegatable) and update the lifecycle spec
description; regenerate the lifecycle artifacts.

* fix(orchestrator): improve agent briefings for handoff consumption, product/project model, and workspace/secret hygiene

Main PM (roles/main_pm.md):
- Require reading the upstream Product Owner / Head of Marketing handoff
  (their decision/reflect journal entries + task description) BEFORE doing
  any own research or calling i_will_plan, so the Main PM builds on the
  Board's analysis instead of duplicating it. Added a dedicated section,
  hardened workflow step 1, and added an anti-pattern.
- Add a 'Products vs Projects' section: a Product fans out to one Project
  per cell; those Projects may be the SAME repo (monorepo subtrees) or
  DIFFERENT repos (multi-repo). The Main PM coordinates across them and
  must not assume one repo or call a monorepo subtree 'a separate repo'.
  Names the Prompter monorepo case (github.com/rennf93/roboco).

Developer (roles/developer.md):
- State the exact workspace path convention
  /data/workspaces/<project-slug>/<team>/<agent-slug>/, that the cwd is
  already set there, to stay inside the own cell workspace, and to not
  probe/guess the path (ls /, find /).
- Sanctioned secret handling: env/printenv is bash-guard denied and
  reveals nothing; needed secrets arrive via the task description, else
  i_am_blocked so the PM supplies them. Added matching anti-patterns.

Tests: add tests/unit/agents/test_briefing_cluster_c4.py asserting the
composed system prompt (the text mounted into agent containers) carries
each of the above.

* fix(orchestrator): board review involves PO+HoM and notifies CEO

Cluster C5 (#2, #4): a board/coordination task was reviewed by the Product
Owner alone, and the CEO got no formal signal when the review finished —
only buried channel chatter — so the Approve & Start handoff was invisible.

#4 — Board review is now a two-reviewer gate. _handle_board_assigned_task
dispatches BOTH the Product Owner and the Head of Marketing (one-shot each),
regardless of which one holds assigned_to, and the unassigned board-routing
path delegates here instead of claiming + spawning the PO alone. Board tasks
stay pending/unassigned for the CEO's Approve & Start. The board prompt now
makes the PO+HoM pair-review model explicit (HoM owns the UX/positioning
dimension).

#2 — Once BOTH reviewers have finished (dispatched and no longer active),
the orchestrator emits exactly one formal CEO notification via
NotificationService.send_board_review_complete_notification (APPROVAL type,
ack-required, carrying related_task_id) so the handoff is an actionable
signal. One-shot per task; a notification failure clears the guard so a
later tick can retry.

To let the non-assignee board member record its review note on a task held
by the other board member, content-action ownership now exempts a board role
posting to a board/coordination task (project_id is None, product_id set).
The exemption is narrow: it does not widen ownership for any other role or
any project-backed task.

Unit tests cover both reviewers dispatched, one-shot dispatch, the CEO
notification fired exactly once when both are done (and not before), the
retry-on-failure path, the notification builder, and the board co-review
ownership exemption (allowed for board+coordination, blocked otherwise).

* fix(workspace): install dev deps post-clone + raise git commit timeout for large changesets

Cluster C6 (#10, #13, #12-investigate).

#10: per-agent workspace clones never had the project's dev dependencies
installed, so the make-quality gate (ruff/mypy/pytest for Python, the TS
toolchain for the panel) was missing and devs re-downloaded tooling per
task. WorkspaceService now runs the project's install after cloning
(`uv sync` for Python, `pnpm install`/`npm ci`/`npm install` for Node/TS,
detected by manifest/lockfile). Idempotent via a lockfile-digest marker
under .git/ so a re-entry with unchanged lockfiles is a no-op; also runs on
the healthy short-circuit so pre-existing clones get backfilled. Gated by
workspace_install_dev_deps (default on) with workspace_dep_install_timeout_seconds.

#13: the gateway commit verb timed out on the large panel changeset because
every git op used the hardcoded 30s _GIT_TIMEOUT and each call also re-walks
the tree to chown. _run_git now takes a per-call timeout override sourced
from settings (git_command_timeout_seconds default); the staging + commit
ops in commit() and create_commit() use the longer git_commit_timeout_seconds
(default 180s). httpx REST timeouts unchanged in value.

#12 (investigate only — no push, no history change): the clone base ref is
NOT hardcoded; it already comes from project.default_branch threaded through
git.get_workspace -> ensure_workspace -> _clone_repo (git clone --branch).
The stale-base problem is a deploy/process issue (GitHub master is behind the
deployed migration chain), resolvable only by pushing the chain to master.
The default_branch column is the existing configurable lever.

* fix(panel): gate Approve & Start to board coordination tasks; stop 404 storm on closed sessions

CEO gate #1 button only renders for a PENDING board coordination/fan-out
task (no project_id, has product_id) — the board-reviewed handoff that
approve_and_start accepts — instead of every PENDING board-team task.
approve_and_start requires PENDING (it re-targets to Main PM without a
status change), so the gate stays on PENDING rather than the unrelated
end-of-work awaiting_ceo_approval state.

Session/message reads now treat a 404 as terminal and never retry it: a
reaped session is gone for good, and retrying every dead session-id is
what produced the growing 404 storm on GET /api/messages. The transcript
loads once (staleTime Infinity, no focus/reconnect refetch) so closed
sessions stay viewable without re-polling.

* fix(orchestrator): role-correct respawn prompt, throttle agentless dispatch, broaden #14 guard

#19 wrong-role prompt on respawn: _get_prompt_for_agent fell through to the
developer prompt for every non-dev/doc/qa role, so a respawned PM or board
agent was told to write code and call verbs it does not own. Route by the
agent's actual role through the existing per-role prompt builders
(developer/qa/documenter/cell_pm/main_pm/product_owner/head_marketing/auditor).
Both callers benefit; _spawn_pending_dev only ever passes developer/documenter/
unknown, so its behavior is unchanged.

#19 spawn-burst: _dispatch_claimed_without_agent looped over every agentless
claimed/in_progress task and could spawn many containers in one tick. Break
after the first respawn so a restart can't trigger a burst, matching every
sibling dispatcher. The release-to-pending path spawns nothing and keeps
draining stale unknown claims.

#14 guard scope: _is_descendant_code_task only matched CODE, so a descendant
DOCUMENTATION or DESIGN task escalated to a board/advisory role was still
stranded on a role with no verb to own it. Rename to
_is_descendant_executable_task and broaden to CODE/DOCUMENTATION/DESIGN — the
cell-executed types a board role cannot own. PLANNING/RESEARCH/ADMINISTRATIVE
route to a PM, not a cell agent, and are left unchanged; root tasks are still
reviewed up the chain.

* fix(docker): add node+pnpm to orchestrator so it pre-installs frontend cell deps

* Added .github workflows

* refactor(services): extract helpers to keep install_dev_deps + developer task-type check under the xenon complexity gate

* chore(github): add launch kit — CI, GHCR release, labels, templates, funding, dependabot npm, community docs

* chore(github): bump_version — drop unused noqa, fix datetime UTC import
