Renn F 2cce7d6a9f fix(pr-gate): land gate verdict on product-scoped PRs + persist it to notes
Two in-path PR-review-gate bugs surfaced reviewing the guard-core-app recovery
roots (PR #107 / root fead4372):

1. No verdict comment reached the PR. _project_slug_for returned None whenever
   project_id was None — but a Main-PM coordination root (the only task a
   root->master PR ever sits on) carries just a product_id (the cell->repo map),
   so _post_gate_review_to_pr resolved a None slug and silently no-op'd. It now
   falls through to the product's first distinct project (mirrors
   GitService._project_for_task), so the gate verdict actually lands on the PR.

2. The task's PR-reviewer notes contradicted the transition. pr_pass / pr_fail
   only threaded their notes through the tracing-gate shim and posted to GitHub;
   nothing wrote notes_structured.pr_review. A root passed once and later failed
   kept showing verdict=passed while the real transition was pr_fail. The gate
   now authors the canonical pr_review note on every decision (pr_pass -> passed,
   pr_fail -> failed), best-effort so a malformed note never rolls back the gate.

Adds unit tests for the product-slug fallback and the verdict persistence.

60c64c70e8 fix(run-hardening): break PM decision-gate, stale-agent, and empty-diff loops (#255)
Forensic triage of a 24h run reconstructed the dominant gateway.rejected
loops from the audit_log. After earlier deploys fixed the i_will_plan crash
and the open_pr push-gap, three real, recurring-capable burn loops remained.
This fixes them at the architecture level, not by prompt-nagging.

journal:decision write-then-gate (the dominant completion-path blocker):
PM decision-point verbs required a separate note(scope='decision') call
before the verb, which loaded/weak models forget to chain — so complete and
unblock hit a tracing_gap (journal:decision missing) and respawn-looped,
stranding finished tasks forever. Each verb now auto-records its OWN
rationale as the journal:decision before the gate runs (the proven
i_am_blocked -> write_struggle pattern), so the gate passes off real,
persisted reasoning. unblock gains a required `reason` (threaded MCP tool ->
request schema -> routes -> choreographer); delegate derives the decision
from its title + description; complete/submit_up/submit_root/escalate_up/
escalate_to_ceo reuse their existing notes/reason. The gate still runs as
defense-in-depth; the auto-record is idempotent within the decision window
and best-effort. Adds JournalService.write_decision and
Choreographer._ensure_pm_decision.

open_pr empty-diff 422: an overlapping-decomposition leaf with zero commits
vs its base makes GitHub 422 "No commits between ...". The generic
invalid_state "retry" looped the dev 15x on one task. open_pr now steers to a
terminal i_am_blocked hand-off so the PM completes or cancels the redundant
leaf.

owns_task stale-agent loop (41x): a superseded agent (task reassigned away)
calling i_am_done/open_pr got a PRECONDITION_OWNERSHIP tracing_gap it read as
a fixable precondition and retried forever. Both verbs now short-circuit with
the clear not_authorized "no longer yours -> give_me_work" steer that
resume/unclaim already use.

RAG docs updated for the new unblock(reason) signature; CHANGELOG entries
added under 0.11.0 (unreleased). open_pr refactored into
_open_pr_preflight_rejection + _open_pr_failure_env to stay within the
return-count and complexity budgets.

2bd35e1c9e fix(run-hardening): stop three blocked-task respawn loops (#253)
* fix(run-hardening): stop three blocked-task respawn loops

Three independent fixes for blocked-task respawn loops observed in the live
run (the bleeders behind a wedged near-complete run):

- verb runner: re-check the working task after EACH composed atomic action,
  not just at entry. A concurrent transition between a verb's precondition
  gate and execution (e.g. a racing i_am_blocked moving a root from
  needs_revision to blocked) made claim() return None mid-sequence; the next
  composed step dereferenced None.id and crashed with the opaque
  "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'", looping the PM. Now fails fast
  with an actionable INVALID_STATE; the savepoint rolls the partial run back.

- blocker dispatch: never dispatch a Board role (product-owner / head-
  marketing) as a blocker resolver. Board roles have no unblock verb, so the
  dispatcher respawned one forever to "resolve" a blocker it could only
  notify/triage about — one incident burned ~6400 tool calls on a single
  mis-owned root. _blocker_resolver_slug now returns None for a Board
  assignee so the dispatch skips it.

- git push: recover a missing local task-branch ref from origin/<branch>
  before push-by-name. A re-provisioned shared clone can lack the branch
  locally though its commits are on origin, so push died on
  "src refspec <branch> does not match any" and the task wedged at i_am_done.
  Now materializes the ref (no-op push when already on origin) or fails loud
  with an unclaim+reclaim instruction when the work is on neither.

Adds regression tests for all three. Full no-DB gate green (ruff, reflow,
mypy, xenon); pytest+coverage validated by CI.

* fix(verb-runner): only raise on an INTERMEDIATE composed None, not the last

The mid-composition None-guard was too aggressive: it raised for a None
returned by the LAST composed action too (e.g. start()), preempting the
caller's existing `if task is None` handler that surfaces the verb-specific
message ("start failed for task ...", the board verb's decline envelope).
Three tests asserting those messages broke in CI.

Only an INTERMEDIATE None is fatal (the next action would deref None.id). A
None from the last action is the verb's own result and must flow out as the
runner's return value. Guard now fires only for position > 0, before the
next dispatch — still prevents the crash, preserves the last-action contract.

* fix(escalation): never hand a Main-PM coordination root to the Board

The upstream cause of the board catch-22 (which the orchestrator-side
blocker-dispatch guard only backstopped): the escalation chain points
main-pm -> product-owner, and i_am_blocked/escalate REASSIGNS the task to
that chain target. apply_escalation's board-advisory guard only refused
descendant cell tasks (both predicates require parent_task_id), so a
top-level Main-PM coordination root slipped through and the whole root was
reassigned to the Product Owner + marked blocked. The board has no unblock
verb, so it spam-notified the CEO and respawn-looped (~6400 tool calls on
one root).

Add _is_coordination_task (team == main_pm — covers a delivery root AND a
MegaTask root-subtask) and a shared _board_cannot_own predicate, applied at
all four board-refusal sites (escalation, reassign, reassign_active_claim,
dependency-revival). A main_pm coordination task escalated/reassigned onto a
board role is now diverted to the pool for a role-matched (Main-PM) reclaim.

Complements the blocker-dispatch backstop in the prior commits (defense in
depth). Tests: coordination-root predicate cases + apply_escalation divert;
existing teamless-root / board-root behavior unchanged.

Renn F 855e4aea54 fix(gateway): guard the verb runner against a None task/agent
The runner's atomic steps dereference task.id / agent.id with no None-check, so a
verb invoked when the task or agent could not be resolved crashed with a cryptic
"'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'" (observed on i_will_plan for a task
forced into an unexpected state out-of-band). Fail fast at run_intent's entry
with an actionable INVALID_STATE error instead.

889f3689e7 MegaTask (#248)
* 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.

c09cf80b40 Feature/observability gateway health (#247)
* feat(observability): revision_count + audit_log query index (migration 045)

Adds tasks.revision_count (the O(1) rework counter — forward-only, existing
rows default 0) and the composite index audit_log(target_id, event_type,
timestamp) that powers the cycle-time and rework reconstruction queries.
Verified the real upgrade/downgrade/upgrade chain on a throwaway pgvector PG.
First task of the 0.10.0 observability dashboards.

* feat(observability): count reworks + attribute qa_fail/pr_fail to the rejector

Every transition into needs_revision increments tasks.revision_count at the
single audit chokepoint (exactly once per bounce, across all paths incl. pr_fail
and ceo_reject), so the rework rate is an O(1) read. A QA or PR-review bounce
also emits a named task.qa_fail / task.pr_fail audit event carrying the
rejector's agent_id, so the per-agent rework scorecard charges the rejection to
the reviewer who made it, not the developer who owns the task.

* feat(observability): cycle-time, bottleneck, rework, and scorecard metrics

MetricsService gains four read methods on the audit_log + tasks data: per-stage
cycle time reconstructed from the transition journey (excluding the named
qa_fail/pr_fail events), bottleneck distribution (cumulative dwell + live parked
counts), rework rate (overall/by-team/by-agent with rejector attribution + cost
via spawn-session task_id), and a fused per-agent/per-cell scorecard. Dataclass
models with to_dict(). Verified against a real Postgres journey.

* feat(observability): cycle-time/bottleneck/rework/scorecard read endpoints

Thin read-only routes on the dashboard router delegating to MetricsService:
/metrics/cycle-time, /metrics/bottlenecks, /metrics/rework, and
/metrics/scorecard/{agent,team}. 404 when an agent scorecard target is absent.
5 route tests (200 + shape + the agent-404 case).

* feat(panel): Delivery observability tab (cycle-time, bottlenecks, rework, scorecards)

A third Metrics tab built on the observability endpoints: a per-stage
cycle-time bar chart, a bottleneck panel (worst stage + cumulative dwell +
live parked counts), a rework panel (rate + by-team + by-agent attribution +
cost), and per-cell scorecards. Reuses Recharts + Card/Badge/Skeleton and the
React-Query hook pattern; observabilityApi mirrors usageApi with mock-mode
fallbacks. tsc + eslint clean; 113 panel tests pass.

* docs(observability): changelog + CLAUDE.md for the delivery dashboards

* feat(gateway-health): recover a broken-but-alive agent instead of protecting it

The verb-heartbeat cannot tell a quiet-healthy agent from one whose MCP gateway
is broken (a corrupted /app/.venv firing no verb) yet whose container is up — the
reaper's live-skip would shield it forever. The reaper now probes the gateway
out-of-band (docker exec: does the gateway venv import its deps?) and, once it
has been broken past gateway_health_grace_seconds (tolerating a transient probe
miss), kills + evicts the container so it falls through to release + respawn.
Probe-inconclusive or healthy spares the container. Gated by
gateway_health_enabled (default-on reliability fix; in the panel Feature Flags).
Defers the optional agent-side self-check + full registry re-adoption — the
reaper's docker-liveness fallback already recovers a broken-after-restart agent.

* docs(gateway-health): changelog + CLAUDE.md for broken-but-alive recovery

* docs(observability): user-facing docs for the Delivery dashboards + gateway-health

Documents the new Metrics -> Delivery tab (cycle-time, bottlenecks, rework with
rejector attribution, cell scorecards) in the panel guide and the operations
health-and-metrics guide, and adds the gateway-health env vars + an agent-gateway
recovery note. Published MkDocs site only; settings.md's default-off flag table
intentionally omits the default-on gateway-health flag (same as overload-break).

* chore(release): cut 0.10.0 (changelog section + version refs)

* fix(gateway): exempt PM coordinators from single-task claim guards

A Main/Cell PM plans and delegates many root tasks in parallel; the work
then runs in the delegated cells, not in the PM's own hands. But the
claim-time concurrency guards meant for developers — already_active and
paused (the latter firing after i_am_idle auto-pauses the PM's own
umbrella) — were applied to the PM too, so once it held one root it could
never plan a second: it thrashed between its claimed roots and respawned
forever, burning tokens for zero progress.

_run_claim_guards now skips already_active/paused for the coordinator PM
roles (_COORDINATOR_ROLES = {main_pm, cell_pm}); only unmet_dependency — a
real upstream sequence constraint, which parks the root back to pending —
still gates a PM. paused_tasks_guard also excludes the target task itself,
so a PM re-entering its own paused umbrella never self-blocks.

Tests: a coordinator plans a second root with one in_progress + one paused
sibling (full path + claimed-recovery path), the paused target exclusion,
and the developer guards still fire. Repurposed the pre-fix test that
asserted the now-removed PM block.

* fix(metrics): coerce SQL avg/extract hours aggregates to float (panel toFixed crash)

EXTRACT(epoch ...) returns numeric on PostgreSQL 14+, which asyncpg surfaces
as a Decimal; a Decimal serializes to a quoted JSON string, so the panel's
avg_cycle_hours.toFixed(1) (and the other hours fields) threw 'toFixed is not
a function' and blanked the Delivery tab.

A single _as_hours helper now rounds every SQL-averaged hours field to a real
float — avg_cycle_hours on the new scorecards plus the pre-existing
avg_completion_hours / avg_blocked_hours / longest_blocked_hours. Token and
cost fields were already float()-cast and are unaffected.

Regression test asserts _as_hours coerces Decimal -> float and preserves the
None/zero behavior.

* feat(panel): edit a task's sequence from the details page

A task's sequence (order within siblings, lower runs first) was display-only
with no way to change it from the UI, and TaskUpdate didn't carry the field
so PATCH couldn't set it either. The details page's Dependencies tab now has
an inline sequence editor mirroring the parent / dependency editors, and
PATCH /tasks/{id} accepts a sequence field (owner or privileged role) through
the existing generic update path.

* fix(mypy): green the full make-quality type gate

make quality runs 'mypy roboco/ tests/', which the per-module checks on the
0.10.0 branch never exercised. Two issues surfaced:

- The coordinator-exemption change added role_str to
  Choreographer._run_claim_guards but not to the ChoreographerHelpers
  protocol base, so the composed Choreographer had incompatible base-class
  signatures. Sync the protocol signature.

- The gateway-health / stale-reaper tests stubbed methods by direct
  assignment (orch._m = AsyncMock()) and typed their duck-typed task doubles
  as object, tripping method-assign / assignment / attr-defined. Switch to
  monkeypatch.setattr (keeping a local mock ref for the assertions) and type
  the doubles as Any — no type: ignore.

Full mypy roboco/ tests/ clean (785 files); the 21 runtime tests pass.

* fix(metrics): static cycle-time SQL — clear bandit B608 (CI gate)

The cycle-time query interpolated an optional team clause into the text() SQL
via an f-string, which bandit flags as B608 (hardcoded SQL) and turned the
merge gate red. The team value was always a bound parameter, so it was a false
positive — but the f-string is the trigger. Rebuilt as one static query with
(CAST(:team AS text) IS NULL OR a.details->>'team' = :team) and an always-bound
team param (CAST, not ::text — SQLAlchemy's :param parser collides with
PostgreSQL's :: cast operator, which broke the query as a stray param).

Full make quality green vs a real pgvector PG (all 21 gate steps).

Renn F ebc3b1ea18 fix(docs): push the documenter's doc commit so it lands in the PR
The documenter writes and commits docs onto the task branch in its own
workspace clone, but i_documented had no push step — so the commit stayed
local and the PM merged the already-open PR without the docs, which then
vanished on merge. i_documented now pushes the task branch before handoff,
mirroring the developer's _ensure_branch_pushed; a push failure holds the
task in awaiting_documentation for a retry instead of silently dropping the
docs. Extract _finalize_documented to keep the verb under the return-count
ceiling.

Renn F 0a890c401e fix(gateway): surface an 'unknown' toolchain status at the gate instead of passing silently
The toolchain guard fails open on a recorded 'unknown' status (precision over recall — never strand a task on an inconclusive smoke). But an 'unknown' means provisioning ran yet the smoke could not confirm the suite is collectable under the interpreter, so the gate was proceeding blind with no trace — a silent hollow pass. It now emits a 'toolchain.unverified_gate_pass' warning with the agent and task ids when proceeding past 'unknown', while still not blocking; a missing marker (None) stays silent so the warning carries signal.

* fix(docker): ollama-init best-effort pull, gate startup on cached models present

A degraded/slow ollama registry made the model manifest re-check fail under
set -e, so ollama-init exited 1 and blocked the orchestrator's
service_completed_successfully gate — taking the whole stack down even though
both models were already cached. Pulls are now best-effort; success is gated on
the models being present, so a flaky registry can't down a cached deployment.

* refactor(content): drop dead TaskDescription.with_baseline_constraints

The structured baseline-merge helper had zero production callers. Project-task baseline constraints are attached by the wired string backstop (TaskService._attach_baseline_constraints), and a real task is free-form prose that cannot form a valid TaskDescription (requires a non-trivial objective + non-empty the_work), so the helper was unreachable from any live path — a leftover from the structured-merge -> string-append design pivot. Removing it leaves a single enforcement path. The constraints field itself stays: it is a member of the well-formed-spec schema (Objective / What This Builds / The Work / Notes / Constraints / Acceptance Criteria), rendered by render_markdown and unit-tested.

Renn F 0ea9f48187 feat(toolchain): block QA/dev/PR gates when the suite cannot be executed
Adds _toolchain_broken_guard: when toolchain matching is on and the acting
agent's workspace recorded a 'broken' status (the project's suite cannot be
collected under the provisioned interpreter), i_am_done, pass_review, and
pr_pass refuse with an i_am_blocked remediation instead of letting the role
"pass" on a source read. fail_review / pr_fail stay available. git gains
toolchain_status_for_task (resolves the actor's workspace, reads the marker,
fail-open None). Inert when the flag is off; a missing/unknown status never
strands a task.

Renn F 8cf697816f feat(content): obligate role note sections like journals
Completes the note(scope='handoff') write-path (WIP 23e6ee57): every role
with a dedicated note section is now obligated to populate it, the same way
journals are obligated.

Obligations (foundation.policy.tracing):
- DEV_NOTES / PR_REVIEWER_NOTES / QUICK_CONTEXT_MIN_CHARS requirements +
  checkers, wired onto i_am_done (dev_notes), delegate (quick_context), and
  pr_pass / pr_fail / post_pr_review (pr_reviewer_notes).
- Fixes a latent bug: the docs-notes checker read dev_notes instead of
  doc_notes (the documenter's section); the i_documented shim now feeds
  doc_notes to match.

Auditor: a session-scoped note obligation on i_am_idle — the auditor owns no
delivery task and has no delivery verb, so it must have recorded an
observation within the window before going idle (JournalService.has_recent_entry).

Write-then-gate: persisted sections (dev_notes / quick_context) are
pre-written by the agent's note(scope='handoff') before the gated verb;
argument-borne sections (doc_notes / pr_reviewer_notes) are checked through a
SimpleNamespace shim, the same pattern qa_notes already uses.

Config: dev/pr_reviewer/quick_context min-chars (40/40/30), panel-tunable.
Plus per-gap remediation hints and full coverage (write-path routing,
ownership, validation->remediation, each obligation, the doc_notes fix).

Full make-quality green: 9777 passed, 95.6% coverage.

Renn F 3a67fa4a0f fix(content): anti-soup guard on pitch slug + restore pitch test intent
Sweep found pitch slug was the one content-tool free-text field still outside
the anti-soup guard (a product could be slugged 'wip'/'asdf'). Add it to the
guard (min 2, so real short slugs like 'ui' pass). Also fix two pitch tests
that were false-passing on a 1-char title (the title guard rejected first):
give them substantive fields so they actually exercise the role gate
(not_authorized) and the non-cell-target rejection (invalid_state).

Renn F 8463808616 fix(lifecycle): let a PM recover its rejected coordination task from needs_revision
The in-path PR-review gate created a deadlock: when an assembled cell→root /
root→master PR fails the gate (pr_fail) — or qa_fail / ceo_reject fires — the
PM-owned coordination task lands in needs_revision, which was developer-claim-
only. So the task had no actor and no exit but cancel, and the cell PM escalated
in a loop (8KB of [ESCALATED] dev_notes on one task). Pre-gate, the PM simply
re-delegated from in_progress; the gate routed the failure through the PM's own
task instead.

Add NEEDS_REVISION to the CELL_PM / MAIN_PM claim rules so the PM re-claims via
i_will_plan, revises the plan, and re-delegates the fixes — pr_fail/qa_fail
already reassign the failed task to its owning PM and the revision dispatcher
re-spawns it; the claim rule was the only missing piece.

Scope is by give_me_work routing (offers only the caller's own assigned tasks),
the same mechanism that scopes a developer's leaf-revision — NOT a gateway-only
ownership gate, which would violate the spec=gateway parity invariant and can't
use task_type anyway (main-PM coordination roots can be code-typed). Regenerates
panel/lib/lifecycle.json.

Renn F 4c85cc6dfa feat(content): anti-soup guard on the flow verbs' free-text
Extends structured-content enforcement from the content tools to every
flow verb that carries agent free-text, closing the last hole where a
dev/PM could pass word soup: i_am_blocked(reason), i_am_done(notes),
submit_up/submit_root/complete(notes), escalate_up/escalate_to_ceo(reason),
pass_review(notes), fail_review/pr_fail(issues), pr_pass(notes),
i_documented(notes), delegate(title/description). Plans (i_will_plan /
i_will_work_on) keep their existing >=150-char approach + sub_task gates
and are skipped here so recovery re-entry with thin values still works.

Shared helpers on the choreographer: _free_text_soup (bare envelope, list
aware) and _soup_or_decision_env (folds the soup check into a verb's
existing spec-gate return so no verb gains a return or tips the xenon
bound). reject_trivial now also catches all-filler multi-token strings.

base.md documents the broadened rule for agents.

Renn F 96ca53eff2 feat(content): extend anti-soup guard to pitch title, open_session topic, pr_update, note narratives
The universal guard covered say/dm/note-text/progress/notify/pitch
problem+solution. Close the remaining content-tool fields the agent
authors: pitch title, open_session topic, pr_update title/body (when
supplied), and the decision/reflect narrative sub-fields of note
(rationale/context/what_done/...). Narrative fields are only checked
when the agent fills them — an omitted field keeps its tolerant
'(not provided)' placeholder so a thin note still records and never
trips the do-server circuit breaker. Fold pr_update's no-fields + soup
checks into one helper to stay under the return-count bound.

5fe1e6df58 feat: in-path PR-review gate — per-cell + main reviewers (#229)
* feat(lifecycle): add the in-path PR-review gate status + reviewer verbs

Insert awaiting_pr_review between the assembled-PR submit and the PM merge,
giving the merge level the rejection capability it structurally lacks — today
only qa_fail and ceo_reject ever reach needs_revision, so a PM review is a
merge button with no teeth.

- New Status awaiting_pr_review + submit_for_review / pr_pass / pr_fail actions
  (pr_pass -> awaiting_pm_review, pr_fail -> needs_revision, mirroring the QA gate).
- Reviewer verbs claim_gate_review / pr_pass / pr_fail, and a main-PM submit_root
  verb (the root analogue of the cell PM's submit_up; opens the root->master PR).
- Extend the self-review-symmetry validator to the new sign-off actions.
- Mirror the value into the ORM TaskStatus enum + the A2A state map, and add the
  postgres taskstatus enum value (migration 040, forward-only like 037).
- Regenerate the per-role verb tables; add gate spec tests.

Spec surface only; the gateway methods + dispatch are wired in follow-ups, so the
verbs are advertised but dormant (flow_server tolerates unregistered verbs).

* feat(identity): add the three cell PR-review-gate reviewers

The in-path gate needs a reviewer per cell so each cell's assembled cell->root
PR is reviewed by a stack-specialized agent, while pr-reviewer-1 serves the
root->master gate (and keeps doing inbound external PRs).

- be/fe/ux-pr-reviewer: PR_REVIEWER role, team-scoped (so dispatch routes each
  cell's gate to its own reviewer); seeded identities + ROLE_TEAM_RULES + names.
  AI agent count 22 -> 25.
- They reuse the existing roboco-agent-pr-reviewer image (AGENT_IMAGES maps the
  three slugs to it, as be-dev-1/-2 share one image) — no new image.
- Tracing table: pr_pass/pr_fail require a learning entry (parity with
  post_pr_review), submit_root mirrors submit_up, claim_gate_review is waived
  (its tracing applies on pr_pass/pr_fail) — completes the verb surface added
  in the prior commit.
- Update the roster-pinning identity tests.

* feat(gateway): wire the in-path PR-review gate end to end

Make the assembled-PR review gate operational across the choreographer, the
TaskService transitions, and the v1 flow surface.

- TaskService: submit_for_review (in_progress→awaiting_pr_review), pr_gate_claim
  (no-transition reviewer claim), pr_pass (→awaiting_pm_review), pr_fail
  (→needs_revision); mirror qa_pass/qa_fail (clear claim, actor-mismatch warn,
  issues appended for the PM's revision). VerbRunner gains the matching atomic
  handlers + a create_root_pr side effect.
- Repoint submit_up to compose submit_for_review (cell→root PR enters the gate),
  and add a main-PM submit_root verb (opens the root→master PR, enters the gate).
- Split main_pm_complete: a code root must pass the gate first (requires
  awaiting_pm_review; rejects an in_progress code root toward submit_root and no
  longer reopens the PR), while a branchless coordination root still walks
  straight through, ungated.
- PRGateMixin (claim_gate_review / pr_pass / pr_fail) composed onto the
  Choreographer; flow_server forwarders + v1 routes (pr_reviewer + main_pm) +
  request schemas.
- Tests: gate spec + the updated submit_up / main_pm_complete expectations + new
  real-DB integration tests driving submit_for_review→pr_gate_claim→pr_pass and
  pr_fail through the real enforcement layer.

* feat(orchestrator): dispatch the in-path PR-review gate

Make the gate live in the dispatch loop.

- _dispatch_pr_gate_work: route awaiting_pr_review tasks to reviewers by level —
  a cell→root task to its cell reviewer (be/fe/ux-pr-reviewer), the root→master
  task to pr-reviewer-1. The reviewer self-claims via claim_gate_review (no
  pre-claim, mirroring the external-PR dispatcher); registered in
  _dispatch_all_work. _select_agent_for_cell learns the pr_reviewer role.
- _build_pr_gate_prompt: anchors the reviewer to the parent objective + full
  acceptance criteria + the FE<->BE contract, then pr_pass / pr_fail.
- _readiness_check_role_for_status: awaiting_pr_review -> pr_reviewer.
- Fail routing: pr_fail reassigns the failed assembled task to its PM
  (_revision_pm_for_task: cell PM for a cell team, Main PM for the root), and the
  revision dispatcher is generalized from coordination-roots-only to any
  PM-owned needs_revision task so the gate-failed task is re-coordinated instead
  of deadlocking.

* docs: document the in-path PR-review gate + the cell reviewers (22→25)

Reflect the shipped gate across the canonical + RAG docs.

- CLAUDE.md: agent count 22→25, the cell reviewers in the org chart, an
  awaiting_pr_review state + the gate transitions + a gate note in the lifecycle
  section, and submit_root / claim_gate_review / pr_pass / pr_fail in the verb
  surface table.
- docs/rag/architecture: org-structure (count, cell-reviewer roster, cells
  table), agent-uuids (be/fe/ux-pr-reviewer rows), agent-model (role + team
  rows).
- docs/rag/roles/pr-reviewer: the in-path gate section + the gate verbs.
- Wrap reviewer.id with UUID(str(...)) in the gate DB tests for mypy.

* docs: finish the gate doc sweep across README + RAG + generated artifacts

Catch the remaining surfaces beyond the canonical docs.

- README + how-to: agent count 22→25, the 6-agent cells (+ PR Reviewer), the
  main reviewer's root→master gate role.
- RAG: permissions + tool-permissions + task-tools list the gate verbs
  (claim_gate_review / pr_pass / pr_fail) for pr_reviewer; regenerate the
  lifecycle artifacts (intent-verbs, status-transitions, the per-role
  lifecycle-*.md prompts, panel lifecycle.json) from the spec via
  build_lifecycle_artifacts.py so they carry the new status + verbs.

* fix(migration): shorten the 040 revision id to fit alembic_version VARCHAR(32)

The revision id '040_taskstatus_awaiting_pr_review' is 33 chars; alembic's
alembic_version.version_num column is VARCHAR(32), so recording the migration on
a real 'alembic upgrade head' failed with 'value too long for type character
varying(32)' (surfaced on the NAS deploy). The test suite missed it: the test DB
is built via Base.metadata.create_all and the parity test only renders SQL
offline, so nothing actually applied the migration chain.

- Rename to '040_awaiting_pr_review' (22 chars).
- Add a guard test asserting every revision id fits the VARCHAR(32) column.
- Verified by applying the full chain 001->040 against real Postgres: it now
  reaches head and records '040_awaiting_pr_review' without truncation.

* fix(migration): land the actual 040 revision-id shortening + guard test

The prior commit captured only the file rename (git add aborted on the deleted
old path), leaving the long revision id and missing the guard test. This commit
carries the real content: revision id '040_awaiting_pr_review' (22 chars) and the
revision-id length guard. Re-verified against real Postgres — the full chain
reaches head and records the short id without truncation.

* fix(product): flush cell deletes before inserts when re-mapping projects

Editing a product's cell->project map (PATCH /api/products/{id}) 409'd with
'duplicate key value violates unique constraint uq_product_projects_product_team'
whenever a team already had a mapping. _replace_cells clears the old rows and
appends the new ones, but within a single flush SQLAlchemy orders INSERTs before
DELETEs for the same table, so the new (product_id, team) rows collided with the
not-yet-deleted old ones. Flush the deletes first.

Pre-existing bug (unrelated to the PR-review gate); surfaced on the NAS. New
real-Postgres regression test re-maps all three cells to different projects —
it fails with the unique violation without the fix and passes with it. The
existing update test only changed WHICH team was mapped, so it never collided.

* fix(gateway): let main_pm submit_root past the shared submit-up guard

submit_root reused the cell PM's _submit_up_ownership_guard, which
hardcoded agent.role != cell_pm and rejected the Main PM with
"submit_up is reserved for cell_pm". A branch-bearing code root could
then never close: submit_root bounced to complete, while complete
required awaiting_pm_review (reachable only via submit_root) and bounced
back — a circular rejection.

Both callers already run the spec gate (can_invoke_intent), which
enforces submit_up→cell_pm and submit_root→main_pm, so the guard's role
re-check was redundant for submit_up and wrong for submit_root. Broaden
it to accept either PM role as a defense-in-depth non-PM reject.

Adds the first choreographer-level submit_root test (the gap that let
this ship).

* fix(gateway): proactively steer both PMs to their bubble-up verb

The submit_root deadlock had a sibling steering gap: nothing told a PM
which verb opens the gate. The delegate next-hint said only 'i_am_idle
when done', and complete's in_progress rejection named submit_root for
the Main PM but left the Cell PM with a bare 'not ready for completion'
— no submit_up pointer, the same guess-the-verb trap.

- delegate hint now names the role-correct verb (root → submit_root,
  cell parent → submit_up) proactively, before any rejection.
- cell_pm_complete's in_progress rejection now steers to submit_up,
  mirroring the Main PM's submit_root gate hint.

Tests cover both the cell-PM steer and the role-aware delegate hint.

* docs: correct who-merges-which-PR across the gate docs + complete description

Audit of the gate docs found the merge actors mis-stated in several
places — the exact ambiguity that risks 'the reviewer/PM merges the root
PR' confusion:

- complete IntentSpec description said 'Main PM merges root PR' — false;
  main_pm_complete escalates and the CEO merges root→master. Corrected
  (propagated to intent-verbs.md, lifecycle.json, generated role prompts
  via build_lifecycle_artifacts.py).
- task-tools.md: submit_up target was awaiting_pm_review (should be
  awaiting_pr_review); Main PM flow had no submit_root — added it.
- README.md: lifecycle diagram now shows the awaiting_pr_review gate.
- cell-pm.md / main-pm.md: dropped the stale 'submit_up hands work to the
  Main PM who merges your cell branch' model — the cell PM merges its own
  gated cell→root PR; the Main PM owns the root + submit_root; the CEO
  merges master. Added submit_root to the main-pm manifest.
- git-commits.md, pr-creation.md, tool-permissions.md, git-tools.md:
  stopped attributing root→master PR opening to complete (it's submit_root).

No behavior change; verb wiring + state machine verified gap-free this
session (the pr_fail→needs_revision→PM respawn loop closes correctly).

* fix(orchestrator): stop closure respawn waiting the reaper window

A PM that finished its subtasks and idled left its parent 'paused' with a
fresh last_heartbeat_at. _is_recently_paused gated closure respawn on
_claim_heartbeat_ttl — the REAPER window (stale_claim_reap_seconds: 600s
default, 1800s on the NAS) — so the parent sat untouched for up to 10-30
minutes before its PM was respawned to close it. The whole chain stalled
behind it.

The race that guard actually protects against (i_am_idle auto-pauses, then
the agent is marked IDLE + its container tears down) is seconds, and the
live-session case is already covered by _is_agent_active. Introduce a
dedicated short debounce (pm_closure_recently_paused_seconds, default 45s)
and gate closure on that instead.

The existing test fixture masked this by setting _claim_heartbeat_ttl to
claim_stale_seconds (180s), not the production reaper value. Fixture now
mirrors production; adds a regression test that a parent paused past the
debounce but within the reaper window respawns immediately.

* feat(gate): post the in-path review verdict on the assembled PR

The in-path gate previously left no trace on the PR it gated — pr_pass /
pr_fail were pure status transitions. Now each verdict is posted as a
GitHub review on the assembled PR itself (server-side, bot account), so
the decision is visible on the very PR the PM merges.

- pr_pass → APPROVE, pr_fail → REQUEST_CHANGES on a cell→root PR.
- The root→master PR ALWAYS gets a plain COMMENT, never APPROVE/REQUEST_
  CHANGES: only the CEO acts on master, so the gate must never leave an
  approval that could satisfy branch protection (letting someone else
  merge) nor a blocking review that could impede the CEO's merge.
- Best-effort and AFTER the DB transition — a GitHub failure is logged,
  never rolls back the gate decision. Reuses git.post_pr_review's existing
  self-review→COMMENT downgrade for the org's own PRs.

Adds _project_slug_for to the ChoreographerHelpers protocol (mypy) and a
unit suite covering event selection, the master-bound COMMENT rule, the
no-PR skip, and failure-swallowing. Docs updated (pr-reviewer, task-tools).

Per-dev sequenced queues (the prior commit) have a PM delegate a dev's whole
code queue up front, so a dev owns several pending, assigned-but-unclaimed code
leaves at once (seq0 + seq2). The orchestrator's lane barrier holds the seq2
SPAWN while seq0 is non-terminal — but _pending_assignment_guard rejected
i_am_idle for ANY pending assigned task, with no lane awareness. So a dev whose
current leaf just moved to QA (awaiting_qa) could neither idle (guard rejects)
nor proceed cleanly: it was steered to claim seq2 early (the claim path has no
lane/sequence check, since delegate sets `sequence` not `dependency_ids`),
jumping its own queue order, or it looped on the rejection. An adversarial
review of the queue work surfaced this; it is latent until PMs actually
delegate multi-item per-dev queues, so the green suite hid it.

Fix: TaskService.has_earlier_incomplete_code_sibling mirrors the orchestrator's
lane barrier in the service layer; _pending_assignment_guard now drops a dev's
lane-held pending code leaves (via _pending_blocking_idle / _pending_not_lane_held)
so the dev idles cleanly and the orchestrator spawns the next queue item when
the lane clears — preserving one-leaf-at-a-time, in order. `is not True` keeps
it inert under partial test mocks. Tests cover the service primitive (live /
terminal / higher-seq / non-code / missing-field) and the guard (dev idles when
lane-held; still blocks a non-lane-held pending leaf). Full mypy + xenon green.

Renn F e209e285b8 feat(dispatch): per-dev sequenced queues for code subtasks (guardrails spec 3)
True two-dev parallelism: a cell PM delegates the FULL set of code units up
front — each dev gets its own queue, both build at the same time, each works
its queue one task at a time in order. Replaces the old ceiling (≤2 code
subtasks per parent, one per dev) which structurally forced under-decomposition.

- Cap: `code` removed from `_SPINE_TYPE_CAPS` — no per-parent code cap (total
  fan-out still bounded by `_SUBTASK_HARD_CAP=12`); `planning`/`documentation`
  stay sequential at 1. `_same_assignee_rejection` exempts `code` so a dev may
  own a queue, but still rejects an exact same-title duplicate (the accidental
  re-delegation bug). `_spine_type_dup_envelope` simplified to the sequential
  spine it now only serves.
- Dispatch barrier: `_blocked_by_earlier_lane_sibling` holds a dev's
  higher-sequence pending code leaf while it still has an earlier non-terminal
  code sibling under the same parent (keyed on assignee, gates only code) — the
  dev works its queue in order. Wired into `_spawn_pending_dev`. Loop-free
  (skip the tick, no reject/respawn) and best-effort (lookup failure → dispatch),
  mirroring the existing merge barrier. The merge barrier is unchanged: leaf
  PRs still merge serially in sequence order into the shared cell branch, so the
  independent build lanes never wedge it.
- Prompt: cell_pm role guidance rewritten from the two-subtask-cap model to the
  per-dev-queue model (delegate all units now; dependent units go in one dev's
  queue, upstream first).

Independent per-dev queues (each lane advances at its own pace) rather than
strict cross-dev wave-sync, by design — more parallel and leaves the
wedge-prone merge barrier untouched. Pairs with the spec-2 idle coverage gate:
removing the code cap lets a PM claim every criterion up front, so that gate is
always satisfiable.

Renn F 1fb723174a feat(gateway): decomposition coverage gate + AC visibility (guardrails spec 2)
The decomposition floor that pairs with the roll-up gate (spec 4): a PM
cannot finish decomposing a parent while one of its acceptance criteria has
no subtask responsible for it — the "two leaves, half the ACs silently
dropped" pattern. Three parts:

- Gate: i_am_idle is rejected for a cell_pm/main_pm whose owned parent still
  has criteria in unclaimed_parent_acceptance_criteria (claimed = referenced
  by any live, non-cancelled child). Distinct from the roll-up gate, which
  fires at submit_up/complete and demands a *completed* child; this fires
  earlier and asks only that every criterion be *claimed*. Safe-by-
  construction: inert until a PM declares coverage, so legacy / not-yet-
  adopted decompositions are never blocked.

- Visibility: PM-facing briefings (give_me_work, i_will_plan, submit_up) and
  every delegate response now carry parent_ac_coverage ({id,text,claimed,
  verified} per criterion) + unclaimed_parent_acs, so a PM can map subtasks
  to criterion ids via covers_parent_criteria and see what is still
  uncovered after each delegate. Off for leaf roles, so a developer's own
  criteria never surface as bogus "unclaimed" noise.

- Prompts: cell_pm / main_pm role prompts document covers_parent_criteria and
  the new idle enforcement in the existing Coverage discipline.

TaskService.{parent_ac_coverage,unclaimed_parent_acceptance_criteria} added
beside uncovered_parent_acceptance_criteria; all three refactored onto a
shared _parent_ac_ref_sets helper (keeps each under the xenon B ceiling,
preserves the committed roll-up behavior). Verb tables regenerated for the
new delegate param — the regen also syncs pre-existing table drift that was
never regenerated after earlier merges (read_messages, pass_review
ac_verdicts, board pitch). Two brand-new generated tables (prompter,
secretary) are left untracked pending a separate decision.

46d89b58fe feat: company-in-a-box — goal-aware company layer (0.4.0) (#171)
* feat(goals): company charter singleton — data layer (Business Goals slice 1)

First slice of the company-in-a-box "Business Goals" phase: a single CEO-owned
charter row (north star + objectives + constraints + operating policy) that
will be injected into every agent's context_briefing so all work is goal-aware.

- CompanyGoalsTable: singleton table (all-zeros id), JSON objectives /
  constraints / operating_policy, updated_at / updated_by.
- migration 032: create + seed the singleton row (offline-renderable; column
  server-defaults fill an INSERT of just the id).
- CompanyGoalsService: get() (empty defaults when unset) + upsert() (singleton,
  partial update, caller commits).
- tests: empty defaults, roundtrip, singleton + partial-update preservation.

Next slices (mapped, not yet built): briefing injection (BriefingInputs +
build_context_briefing + EvidenceRepo), API route (GET any / PUT CEO-only),
panel /goals page, and base/Board/PM prompt mentions.

* feat(goals): inject the company charter into every agent briefing (slice 2)

The charter is now goal-aware context for every agent:
- BriefingInputs gains company_goals; build_context_briefing surfaces it.
- EvidenceRepo.company_goals(): single-row lookup returning a COMPACT charter
  (north star + objectives + constraints + operating policy; audit columns
  dropped, lists capped) or None when unset, so an empty charter never bloats
  the per-verb briefing.
- _briefing_for wires it into every context_briefing.

Tests: briefing surfaces company_goals (defaults None); repo returns None for an
absent/empty charter and the compact dict when set.

* feat(goals): company charter API — GET any agent, PUT CEO-only (slice 3)

- routes/company_goals.py: GET returns the charter (any authenticated agent —
  it drives every briefing); PUT is CEO-only (403 otherwise), partial update via
  model_dump(exclude_unset=True), explicit commit.
- schemas/company_goals.py: response + partial-update models.
- registered at /api/company-goals.
- tests: GET open to any role, CEO update persists + is readable, non-CEO 403.

* feat(goals): make the company charter actionable in agent prompts (slice 5)

Agents already receive company_goals in the briefing (slice 2); now tell them to
act on it:
- base.md: universal "Align with the company charter" section — favour work and
  trade-offs that advance the objectives, honour the constraints, flag conflicts;
  never a license to leave your role.
- board / main_pm / cell_pm: role-specific lines tying triage / cell-routing /
  subtask decomposition to the charter.

Prompts are composed at spawn from base.md + roles/*.md directly (compose_prompt),
so no _generated regeneration is needed.

* feat(goals): company charter panel page (slice 4)

CEO-facing editor for the charter at /company-goals:
- lib/api/company-goals.ts: get / update (PUT) client.
- company-goals-card.tsx: edit north star + constraints (one per line) +
  objectives / operating_policy (JSON, parsed + validated with toast errors);
  display derives from server state (no set-state-in-effect).
- (dashboard)/company-goals/page.tsx + a "Company Goals" sidebar nav link.

tsc --noEmit + eslint clean. Completes Phase 1 (Business Goals): data, briefing
injection, API, prompts, panel.

* fix(test): make test_app route assertions robust to FastAPI 0.137 _IncludedRouter

FastAPI 0.137 stopped flattening include_router into app.routes — each include is
now an _IncludedRouter (a BaseRoute with no .path), so `{r.path for r in
app.routes}` raised AttributeError and the two router-registration tests failed
(the bump arrived via the claude-agent-sdk update in uv.lock). Add
_registered_paths(): OpenAPI schema paths (the stable public contract) plus each
included router's prefix, which also covers the websocket /ws mount (never in the
schema). Drops the now-incorrect type: ignore[attr-defined].

* feat(research): pluggable web search/fetch for Board + PM agents

Add a provider-agnostic web-research capability so the Board and PMs can
ground decisions in current external evidence the knowledge base can't
answer.

- ResearchService selects a provider adapter from config: Tavily, Brave,
  and Exa adapters plus a NullProvider that degrades gracefully when no
  key is set. Result count and fetched-content size are clamped to caps.
- /api/research/search and /api/research/fetch: role-gated to Board + PMs
  (and the CEO), with a per-agent/day Redis quota that fails open.
- roboco-search MCP server (web_search / web_fetch) calls those routes;
  the provider key stays server-side and agent containers never egress.
  Mounted per role by the orchestrator, behind a master switch.
- Charter-aware prompt guidance for Board, Main PM, and Cell PM.

Additive: with no key configured it is a no-op and the existing delivery
lifecycle is unchanged.

* feat(pitch): Board pitch -> CEO approve -> auto-provision repos

Add an additive origination path so a product can be proposed, approved,
and stood up without manual repo/Project setup.

- Pitch entity + migration (pitches table); PitchService create/list/
  reject/approve.
- GitHubProvisioningService: the one place that creates repos (POST
  /orgs/{org}/repos). Server-side token/org; when unconfigured the whole
  approve path is inert and nothing is created.
- On approval: provision one repo per target cell, register a Project per
  repo, create a Product when multi-cell, and seed one Main-PM delivery
  task — all reusing the existing Product / coordination-task machinery.
- /api/pitches: Board authors (PO/HoM), CEO approves/rejects, Board+PM+CEO
  view. Errors mapped via a single translator.

Additive: the delivery lifecycle is untouched; with no provisioning token
the capability is a no-op. Agent-facing pitch tool + panel are follow-ups.

* feat(strategy): dormant autonomous strategy engine (engine 2)

Add a second, optional engine that watches the company against its
standing goals and surfaces what needs the CEO — without touching the
delivery lifecycle (engine 1).

- StrategyEngine.assess() reports observations: the company is idle while
  goals stand, and tasks stranded in 'blocked' past a threshold.
- run_cycle() notifies the CEO (notify-only; it never spends, builds, or
  auto-approves — originating work stays a CEO decision).
- Orchestrator runs it on its own interval, started/stopped with the other
  background loops; the loop returns immediately unless enabled.

DORMANT by default (strategy_engine_enabled=False): the loop never runs and
a standard deployment is unchanged. Auto-origination is a further opt-in.

* docs(changelog): record Business Goals, Web Research, Pitch->Provision, and the dormant strategy engine under Unreleased

* feat(secretary): wire the Secretary role end-to-end (foundation)

Add SECRETARY as a distinct role — the CEO's conversational chief-of-staff,
governed separately from the Prompter (which stays read-only/human-only).
This is the role foundation only; authority, the live agent, and the panel
land in following commits.

- foundation/identity: Role.SECRETARY (board level), seeded secretary-1 agent,
  role-level mapping.
- journaling read tier (ALL — it advises the CEO), role_config entry,
  per-role model (opus), prompt-layer mapping + roles/secretary.md.
- i_am_idle gains SECRETARY so the role has a verb surface.
- migration 034: add 'secretary' to the agentrole enum (mirrors 025).
- Role-registry tests updated for the new role.

Inert by itself (nothing spawns it yet); additive — existing roles unchanged.

* feat(secretary): directives + gate-list authority (backend)

The Secretary acts only under CEO command. Low-risk directives (relay a
dictated message) execute immediately; high-impact ones — charter edits,
task start/cancel/override, pitch approval, announcements — are recorded
pending and run only after the CEO confirms (the gate list).

- secretary_directives table (migration 035) as the command audit + queue.
- SecretaryService: read company state; submit (direct->run, gated->queue +
  notify CEO); confirm/reject; execution runs with the CEO as actor through
  the existing services (the Secretary never holds CEO authority itself).
- /api/secretary: submit + state/task reads (Secretary or CEO); list/confirm/
  reject (CEO only). Writes commit explicitly.

* feat(secretary): live conversational agent (container + bridge)

Stand up the Secretary as a persistent Claude-SDK container the CEO chats
with, mirroring the Intake agent and reusing its driver/session machinery.

- secretary_driver: build_secretary_options exposes read_company_state /
  read_task / submit_directive as SDK tools that call /api/secretary/* with
  the agent's HMAC token; backend-call logic is module-level + tested.
- secretary_main: container entrypoint (receiver + relay) reusing IntakeDriver.
- orchestrator: start/spawn/reap secretary session + run-cmd builder; no
  workspace clone (reads state via API), mints a role=secretary token.
- secretary_live routes: panel <-> container bridge over the live registry.
- agent-secretary image (Dockerfile + compose build service).

Inert until a session is started; additive — intake and all agents unchanged.

* feat(secretary): panel chat + directive confirmation queue

The CEO's Secretary surface: a live chat (SSE) to talk to the Secretary, and
a 'Needs your confirmation' queue listing gated directives the Secretary
proposed — each with Confirm / Reject. Adds the sidebar nav entry.

- lib/api/secretary.ts: live (start/stream/status/send/stop) + directive
  (list/confirm/reject) + state clients (all as the CEO).
- hooks/use-secretary.ts: drives one chat, accumulating SSE token deltas.
- secretary page: chat pane + pending-directive cards.

Completes the Secretary end-to-end (role + authority + live agent + panel).

* feat(pitch): agent-facing pitch tool + pitches panel

Complete the pitch path: the Board can now author pitches through the gateway,
and the CEO reviews/approves them in the panel.

- content_actions.pitch (Board-only) -> PitchService.create, returning an
  Envelope; wired as a do-tool (do_server + /api/v1/do/pitch + schema) and
  added to the Board's do-tools.
- Panel /pitches page: lists pitches with CEO Approve & provision / Reject;
  sidebar nav entry.

Pitch (Phase 4) is now end-to-end: author -> CEO approve -> auto-provision.

* feat(cockpit): read-only 'is the business winning?' summary

A pure aggregation for the CEO over existing data — no new state, no writes.

- CockpitService.summary(): charter north-star/objectives, delivery counts
  (in-flight/blocked/awaiting-CEO), 30-day spend vs the charter's budget cap,
  pending pitches, and the strategy engine's signals (what needs you). Stamped
  basis='proxy' — performance is a proxy until real launches.
- GET /api/cockpit/summary (CEO / Board / Main PM / Secretary).
- Panel /cockpit page + sidebar nav.

Reuses goals + usage + StrategyEngine.assess(); reads only.

* docs(changelog): add the Secretary and Cockpit to Unreleased

* fix(test): isolate the company-goals empty-defaults test from committed state

The shared test DB persists committed writes across tests; a route test
commits a charter, so the unit test's 'unset' assertion must establish its
own clean precondition rather than assume global emptiness.

* fix(gateway): lower evidence_repo complexity to rank A (xenon gate)

company_goals()'s 4-way `or` emptiness check tipped the module average to
rank B; `any(...)` is equivalent and keeps the module under the gate's A bar.

* chore(compose): mirror agent-secretary-image build into docker-compose.yaml

Both compose files are byte-identical and tracked; .yaml carries the same
agent-secretary-image build service already present in docker-compose.yml.

* chore(lifecycle): regenerate artifacts for secretary i_am_idle

The secretary role gained i_am_idle in the lifecycle spec; regenerate the
generated prompt/doc/json artifacts so foundation-check stays green.

* docs(changelog): cut the company-in-a-box phases to 0.4.0

Label the six additive phases (business goals, web research, pitch-provision,
strategy engine, secretary, cockpit) as 0.4.0; tag v0.4.0 is held until the
branch merges to master so it points at the release commit.

2817ca1ceb Fix the PR-divergence respawn loop: loop gate, CEO god-mode, PR conflict resolver, sequence-ordered merge (#164)
* fix(orchestrator,panel): bound the respawn loop gate and give the CEO a status override

The PM respawn loop gate could never fire on a recurring tracing_gap: every
same-status respawn that emitted a tracing_gap reset the strike counter, so a
task whose unblock can never satisfy its decision gate respawned forever. Cap
the number of tracing_gap resets (pm_respawn_max_tracing_resets) so strikes
accrue once a gap is clearly recurring rather than progressing, and route the
pm-review and blocker dispatch respawn paths through the gate so it actually
applies to those loops.

Panel: the task status dropdown was driven solely by the lifecycle graph, so a
task wedged in a terminal/blocked state offered no actionable transitions. Add
an audited admin status override (PATCH status -> admin_set_status) for every
non-in-band target, letting the human operator force any state.

* feat(git): add rebase_onto_base and close_pull_request PR-divergence primitives

Agents had no way to resolve a PR that could not merge because a sibling merged
overlapping work first: their only moves were complete (which 405s) or block
(which loops). Add the two missing operations:

- rebase_onto_base rebases a head branch onto the latest base and classifies
  the outcome: superseded (no unique commits -> safe to close), rebased (unique
  work -> force-pushed, ready to merge), or conflicts (aborted, needs a human).
- close_pull_request retires a superseded PR with an explanatory comment.

These back both the sequence-ordered merge and the conflict resolver.

* feat(gateway): auto-resolve a leaf PR that can't merge instead of looping

When a sibling lands overlapping work first, the cell PM's complete() merge
hits a GitHub 405 and the task re-blocks, respawning the PM forever (the
production wedge: one task burned 6000+ tool calls over 3 hours). The merge
now raises MergeConflictError, and cell_pm_complete resolves it:

- rebase the branch onto the current base;
- superseded (no unique commits) -> close the dead PR + complete the task
  without a redundant merge (the manual action operators kept requesting);
- rebased (unique work) -> retry the merge, then complete;
- genuine conflicts -> admin-override the task to awaiting_ceo_approval and
  alert the CEO, so it leaves agent dispatch instead of looping.

MergeConflictError subclasses GitError, so existing handlers are unaffected.

* test(git): silence unused-arg lint in close_pull_request stub

* feat(orchestrator): sequence-ordered merge for leaf siblings

Leaf siblings share one cell branch, but within-cell siblings were all left at
the default sequence 0, so two leaf PRs raced into the same branch and the
second wedged. Now:

- decomposition assigns each new sibling the next ordinal within its parent, so
  the merge order is well-defined;
- the pm-review dispatcher holds a higher-sequence leaf until its earlier
  same-team siblings are terminal, so they merge into the shared branch in order
  instead of racing.

Loop-free by construction: a gated task is simply not dispatched this tick (no
reject, no respawn). Terminal siblings never block, so a cancelled sibling can't
deadlock the rest; any sibling lookup failure degrades to dispatch.

* test: use monkeypatch.setattr instead of type:ignore in new tests

CI type-checks tests/ (the type-gated suite) which my local 'mypy roboco/' skipped.
The method-mock assignments tripped mypy method-assign/assignment; replace the
silencing comments with monkeypatch.setattr and local mock refs for assertions,
matching the project's no-type:ignore rule.

* fix(git): stop get_status misreporting an unstaged deletion as staged

git_status used stdout.strip().split() before parsing porcelain. strip() eats
the leading space on the first line, so an unstaged deletion (' D file') became
'D file' and parsed as a STAGED deletion — the false 'staged' that caused 6
wasted QA cycles when a dev deleted a file without staging it. Use splitlines(),
which preserves the index/worktree status columns.

* feat(panel): mobile sidebar hamburger + Sheet drawer (AC1)

The umbrella's AC1 was never built: on mobile the sidebar had no entry point.
Extract the nav/footer into shared SidebarNav/SidebarFooter, hide the static
sidebar below md, and add a hamburger in the header that opens the same nav in a
left Sheet drawer (closing on navigation). Desktop is unchanged.

6cf99a1b0a [beb8cae1] Type-gate tests/ under mypy — fix all errors and flip quality gate (#156) (#157)
* [420e5e68] Fix mypy errors in tests/unit/ and create tests/__init__.py (#154)

* [420e5e68] fix(tests): resolve all mypy errors in tests/unit/ and create tests/__init__.py

- Create tests/__init__.py as empty package marker
- Add Any import and fix list type annotation in test_flow_server_intent_public_mapping.py
- Move AsyncIterator to TYPE_CHECKING block and fix m.cls.__name__ attr error in test_app.py
- Add return type annotations to _stub_get_optimal, _source, and factory functions
- Implement abstract methods (index_type, prepare_metadata, build_source_uri) in _FakePlugin
- Add pyproject.toml per-file-ignore for ARG002 on test_optimal_grounding.py stub
- Remove 4 stale # type: ignore comments from test_rate_limit_tracker.py
- Fix method-assignment patterns in test_rate_limit_sweep.py via patch.object
- All 487 source files pass mypy with 0 errors; 2312 unit tests pass

* [420e5e68] fix(tests): move stdlib/third-party imports to TYPE_CHECKING blocks across tests/unit/

Resolves 6 remaining ruff TC002/TC003 errors from the quality gate:
- test_handlers.py: Iterator → TYPE_CHECKING
- test_quality_gate.py: pathlib → TYPE_CHECKING
- test_board_dispatch.py: AsyncIterator + httpx → TYPE_CHECKING
- test_streaming.py: Iterator → TYPE_CHECKING
- test_notification.py: AsyncIterator → TYPE_CHECKING

All files have from __future__ import annotations so annotations are strings
at runtime; no runtime NameError risk from moving to TYPE_CHECKING.

* [420e5e68] fix(tests): use forward-ref cast() and drop unused TYPE_CHECKING import in 4 test files

* [420e5e68] chore(Makefile): scope lint mypy target to roboco/ to match gate and quality targets

---------



* [b0c9d41b] Fix mypy errors in tests/integration/ tests/foundation/ tests/property/ and update Makefile quality gates (#155)

* [b0c9d41b] fix(tests): resolve all mypy errors in tests/integration/, tests/foundation/, tests/property/

- Add missing type annotations to inner functions (_override_db, _override_agent_id, _req, etc.)
- Use cast("UUID", ...) to fix SQLAlchemy UUID vs uuid.UUID arg-type mismatches
- Remove stale # type: ignore comments from test_full_lifecycle_real_db.py and test_task_service_lifecycle_misc.py
- Update Makefile quality/quality-fast targets to run mypy on roboco/ tests/
- No runtime logic changed — annotations and cast() only

* [b0c9d41b] fix(tests): apply ruff TC006 quoted-cast and AsyncGenerator[T] fixes to complete mypy gate

- Quote all cast() type arguments per ruff TC006 rule (cast("T", x))
- Change AsyncGenerator[T, None] to AsyncGenerator[T] (Python 3.12 form)
- Move runtime-only imports to TYPE_CHECKING blocks (Path, Table, Generator, etc.)
- No runtime logic changed — annotation-only changeset

* [b0c9d41b] fix(Makefile): align lint target mypy scope with gate target (roboco/ only)

The lint target used `uv run mypy .` (all files) while gate uses `uv run mypy
roboco/`. This inconsistency caused the pre-submit gate to fail on 161 pre-existing
tests/unit/ errors (being fixed by sibling task 420e5e68). The quality/quality-fast
targets already check `roboco/ tests/` — the lint target now matches gate scope.

Renn F a8b387b5bb feat(gateway): run the full fast gate (incl. complexity) at the dev's desk
Add a per-project `quality_command` (model + ORM + API + panel + migration 029)
that the pre-submit gate prefers over the lint/typecheck pair. Pointed at the new
`make gate` target (ruff format --check + ruff check + mypy + xenon, no tests),
i_am_done now catches lint, type AND complexity failures in the developer's
workspace before QA — closing the gap where over-complex code only failed in CI.
Falls back to lint+typecheck when unset; a no-op when no commands are configured.
2026-06-14 05:24:09 +02:00
Renn F 481c5fe17b feat(gateway): run a fast quality gate at i_am_done, before QA
The developer's i_am_done submit now runs the project's fast quality gate
(lint + typecheck) in the developer's workspace and blocks the transition to
awaiting_qa if it's red, returning the failing output as the remediate hint —
so a red gate is caught at the dev's desk instead of in QA review or CI. The
slow test suite intentionally stays on CI. The gate is fail-open on
infrastructure errors (missing workspace/toolchain never blocks a submit) and a
no-op for projects that configure no lint/typecheck commands. Developer prompt
updated.
2026-06-14 04:54:05 +02:00
Renn F 2db11c7833 feat(qa): require a per-acceptance-criterion verdict before pass_review
QA may no longer pass a task with a single gestalt approval — pass_review now
takes ac_verdicts (one verification entry per acceptance criterion) and the
gateway rejects a pass that does not cover every criterion. If a criterion does
not hold, QA fails the review instead. The verdicts are folded into the
persisted qa_notes for the audit trail. Threaded through the flow MCP tool,
the HTTP request schema, and the route; QA prompt updated.

Renn F 8affb283f5 feat(gateway): enable 2-devs-per-cell parallelism + split-before-claim sizing
- Intake / Main-PM / Cell-PM prompts: enumerate independently-shippable work
  units, inherit the breakdown down the chain, and dispatch independents in
  parallel (dependency order, never one-at-a-time).
- Raise the code-spine concurrency cap from 1 to 2 per parent (one per cell
  developer) so both devs build in parallel; keep the same-assignee guard and
  the planning/documentation cap at 1, plus the cross-team planning exemption.
- Split-before-claim: hard-block an egregiously-bundled code leaf at delegate
  time so the PM splits it before any dev claims it; nudge the moderate band
  in the delegate success envelope.

303c2db289 Fix: rate limit real probe (#110)
* fix(rate-limit): real provider liveness probe instead of time-based stub

The rate-limit recovery sweeper cleared a provider and resumed parked agents
purely on elapsed time — _do_probe was a stub that always returned True once
the retry_after window passed, so it never confirmed the provider had actually
stopped rate-limiting us. Under a sustained limit that resumes agents straight
into another 429, re-parking them: avoidable churn.

Make the probe real. _do_probe now issues a free, unmetered liveness call —
Anthropic GET /v1/models or Ollama GET /api/tags — and treats any non-429
response as the limit having lifted. A 429 keeps the provider parked; a
network error keeps it parked too (retry next sweep). When the provider can't
be probed (no API key, or an unrecognized provider), it falls back to the
prior time-expiry optimism rather than stranding agents. _probe_target keeps
URL/header resolution separate and testable, and _do_probe stays a
monkeypatchable boundary so the existing sweep tests are unaffected.

Also drop two acceptance-criteria-number labels from comments in this file.

* chore(rate-limit): clear merged gate debt in rate-limit tests + deps lint

The rate-limit PR landed with ruff violations the full gate flags but the
authors' runs missed: test_rate_limit_sweep.py was unformatted, and
test_rate_limit_tracker.py had unsorted/unused imports and magic-value
comparisons. Format the sweep test, drop the dead imports, and bind the
magic comparison values to locals. Also strip acceptance-criteria-number
labels from comments/docstrings across the three rate-limit test files
(leaving genuine acceptance_criteria=[...] test data untouched), and add
api/deps.py to the PLC0415 per-file-ignore — it is the DI wiring hub and
defers a couple of service imports to call time to avoid import cycles,
the same rationale already applied to api/routes, runtime, and services.

* fix(rate-limit): resolve redis type errors in RateLimitStateTracker

A cold mypy run (the gate's true state — prior passes were warm-cache only)
flagged four redis-typing errors in rate_limit_tracker.py that the merge
missed: three unused type:ignore[type-arg] on redis.Redis, and an
aclose() the bundled redis type stub doesn't expose.

Drop the now-unused ignores, and close the scan client via
'async with redis.from_url(...) as r:' instead of a finally-block
aclose(). The context manager closes the client on exit using the modern
redis.asyncio API — no deprecated close(), no stub-missing aclose(), no
suppression. Extend the test's redis mock to model the async
context-manager protocol so it returns itself on enter.

* test(prompter): pass route='main_pm' in the product main-PM routing test

Pre-existing master failure, unrelated to the rate-limit work. The test is
named ...product_routes_to_main_pm and asserts team=MAIN_PM, but called
confirm_live_draft without a route, so it got the 'board' default — which
assigns the Product Owner and yields team=BOARD by design (the board-review
path keeps the root at team=board until the CEO approves). The Main-PM path
is selected with route='main_pm', exactly as the sibling
...main_pm_route_assigns_main_pm test does. Add the missing kwarg so the test
verifies the path it names; behaviour under test is unchanged.

* Updated uv.lock

* refactor(complexity): bring all rank-C blocks under the xenon B ceiling

The full quality gate's xenon step (--max-absolute B --max-modules A
--max-average A) failed on eight rank-C blocks plus the extraction module
average — debt the rate-limit and token-analytics merges deferred. Reduce
each by extracting cohesive helpers, behaviour unchanged:

- orchestrator._probe_one_provider: split into _too_early_to_probe,
  _on_probe_success, _on_probe_failure, _parked_agents_for.
- rate_limit_tracker.list_rate_limited_providers: extract _read_rate_limited_entry
  and a _decode helper.
- trigger_filter.decide_spawn: extract _stale_trigger_decision (drops the
  PLR0911 suppression too).
- ollama_embedder (embed_query, _embed_batch_sync, aembed_query,
  _embed_batch_async): share _rl_backoff / _map_embed_error / _log_429 /
  _sleep_connect_retry / _asleep_connect_retry; remove a dead post-loop guard
  in aembed_query.
- mentor._synthesize_answer: extract _select_system_prompt and
  _answer_from_response.
- indexes/base.ask: extract the 429-retried LLM call into _ask_llm.
- extraction.__init__: extract _compile_patterns so the module average
  lands at rank A.

xenon now exits 0; rate-limit, optimal_brain, extraction, and events suites
all green.

* chore(deps): drop obsolete types-redis stub; honor redis 8.0 inline types

types-redis 4.6 (typed for redis 4.x) shadowed redis 8.0's own inline types,
which both masked real annotation mismatches in stream_bus.py and forced
awkward workarounds elsewhere. The stale stub is why the mypy gate only ever
passed warm-cached: a cold run under the wrong stub disagreed with the code.

Remove types-redis (and its orphaned transitive stubs) so mypy uses redis's
shipped types. That surfaces that xreadgroup/xclaim return bytes-keyed records
while _handle_message is annotated str — the code already decodes bytes
defensively, so this is an annotation gap, not a runtime bug. Make the types
honest: cast each result to its concrete shape and decode the stream name and
message id to str at the dispatch boundary via a _to_str helper.

mypy roboco/ is now clean cold (247 files) against redis's real types; events
suite green.

* Updated uv.lock

* fix(workspace): install the dev extra so agents can run make quality

Agent workspaces were set up with plain `uv sync`, which installs only the
project's default dependency group (pytest) — not the `dev` *extra* where the
gate tools live (ruff, mypy, xenon, radon, vulture, bandit, deptry). So an
agent's .venv had pytest but no linters, and `make quality` died immediately
on `ruff: command not found`. Agents literally could not lint, type-check, or
complexity-check their own work, which is how format/mypy/xenon debt merged
unseen. Sync the `dev` extra (`uv sync --extra dev`) so the workspace gets the
full toolchain the setup's own docstring already promised.

* fix(panel): rate-limit endpoint shape + websocket path

Two panel-facing breakages from the rate-limit rework:

- GET /api/system/rate-limits returned a raw list, but the panel store reads
  response.entries — so `r.entries is not iterable` crashed the banner sync on
  page load. Return the panel's contract: a { entries: [...] } envelope whose
  items are camelCase {provider, affectedAgents, hitAt, resumeAt,
  retryAfterSeconds}, derived from the raw Redis state (resumeAt = hitAt +
  retryAfter).
- The rate-limit websocket hook passed "/ws/system" while getWebSocketUrl()
  already supplies the "/ws" base, producing the doubled "/ws/ws/system" URL.
  Pass "/system" to match the agents/channels/notifications hooks.

Note: the backend /ws/system endpoint itself does not yet exist (the rework
shipped the panel hook only); the REST fix keeps the banner correct on load
and reconnect until that endpoint is built.

* test(workspace): assert uv sync installs the dev extra

Follow the workspace setup change: the dependency-install command is now
`uv sync --extra dev` so the agent workspace gets the lint/type/complexity
toolchain. Update the three assertions that pinned the old `uv sync`.

* feat(ws): add /ws/system stream and bridge rate-limit events to the panel

The rate-limit rework shipped the panel's websocket hook but no backend: there
was no /ws/system endpoint and nothing forwarded RATE_LIMIT_HIT/LIFTED to a
socket, so the banner got no live updates.

Build the missing half:
- ConnectionManager grows a system-wide connection set with connect_system /
  broadcast_system, and disconnect() now clears it.
- A /ws/system websocket endpoint (operator stream, no per-agent keying) with
  the same connected + ping/pong lifecycle as the other streams.
- websocket_bridge subscribes RATE_LIMIT_HIT/LIFTED and forwards each to
  broadcast_system tagged with the type the panel switches on. Both events
  ride the same StreamEventBus singleton, and the subscriptions register
  before start_listening(), so the consumer reads their streams.

Pairs with the panel hook now passing '/system' (getWebSocketUrl supplies the
'/ws' base). Covered by handler, manager, and endpoint-lifecycle tests.

ff35a646fa Chore: reduce analytics complexity (#100)
* refactor(analytics): reduce cyclomatic complexity in usage/pricing/rollup

Collapse the three near-identical get_by_* aggregation methods in
UsageService into a shared _aggregate_by helper parameterized by group
column and key name, and centralize token null-coalescing in a
_row_tokens helper. Extract the per-row upsert in _sweep_daily_rollup
into _upsert_rollup_row, and the pricing-table lookup into
_lookup_prices. All blocks now rank <= B and both modules rank A, so the
xenon gate passes; behavior is unchanged and existing tests stay green.

* feat(billing): make token pricing provider-aware

Distinguish three cases when a model has no per-token rate: a non-Anthropic
model (local Ollama, or an Ollama Cloud ":cloud" model billed by flat
subscription / GPU-time) legitimately has no per-token cost and returns 0.0
silently; an unpriced Anthropic ("claude"-named) model also returns 0.0 but
logs a warning, since that is real spend being undercounted and catches new or
renamed Claude models missing from the table. Folds the old ollama/ prefix
special-case into the general non-Anthropic path so there is one code path,
and replaces the blanket 'no pricing data' warning that fired even for
self-hosted models.

* fix(tasks): preserve ownership when force-unclaiming to pending

The stale-claim reaper and the dependency-blocked release both routed through
_force_unclaim_to_pending, which nulled assigned_to and left the task in a
pending state owned by nobody — no dispatcher re-spawns an ownerless pending
task, so it went dormant. The dispatcher-side claimed_by fallback only masked
half the cases.

Capture the owner before releasing the claim and keep both assigned_to and
claimed_by pointed at it (mirroring the unblock restore), releasing only the
live claim (active_claimant_id + heartbeat) and the WorkSession. The same agent
now resumes the task once it re-dispatches. Updates the reaper test that
asserted the old orphaning behavior and adds owner-preservation coverage for
both the reaper and dependency-release paths.

* fix(tasks): unblock restores the owner into both ownership fields

Audit follow-up to the force-unclaim ownership fix. unblock() only restored
assigned_to from blocker_raised_by, which block() stashes solely from
assigned_to. A task claimed via give_me_work (claimed_by set, assigned_to null)
therefore unblocked into a split-owner state — assigned_to null but claimed_by
set — that both the dev dispatcher and the PM pool-router race to pick up. It
also left claimed_by pointing at the resolver PM after an escalation.

Resolve the owner as blocker_raised_by or assigned_to or claimed_by and write
it to both fields, matching the force-unclaim and reassign convention so the
original worker resumes cleanly. Adds coverage for the give_me_work-claim case
and asserts owner restoration on the existing in_progress-resume test.

* test(orchestrator): cover dev owner resolution and the claimed_by fallback

_resolve_dev_owner_uuid had no coverage. Add the status-dependent precedence
(claimed/blocked prefer the live claimant; other statuses prefer the
PM-assigned owner) and the half-reap fallback where a pending task with
assigned_to nulled still resolves its owner from claimed_by instead of going
dormant.

* fix(tasks): wire the pre-block snapshot so unblock(restore=True) works

The restore=True path on a PM unblock was a no-op: pre_block_state /
pre_block_assignee (migration 006) were read by unblock_with_restore but never
written, so it always fell through to legacy unblock() and the restore flag did
nothing.

Snapshot the resting status + owner at every block entry (dependency block,
soft block, escalation) before mutating, capturing only the first block in a
chain so a re-block doesn't overwrite the original state. Escalation snapshots
the outgoing owner, not the escalation target, so restore returns the original
worker. The restore path applies the same branchless guard legacy unblock()
relies on — a snapshotted in_progress with no branch diverts to pending instead
of looping the dispatcher — and is extracted into _apply_pre_block_restore to
keep complexity under the gate. Adds coverage for snapshot capture, restore,
the branchless divert, and escalation owner restoration.

* test(tasks): update orphan-reconciler and dependency-release tests for owner preservation

Both the startup orphan reconciler and the dependency-blocked claim release
route through unclaim_for_reaper / _force_unclaim_to_pending, which now preserve
the owner instead of nulling assigned_to. Update the two tests that asserted the
old orphaning behavior to assert the owner is kept (so the same agent resumes)
while the live claim is released.

* chore(tests): scrub internal work-item labels from test names, docstrings, comments

Rename four test files that carried audit work-item IDs in their filenames
(test_p0_7_branch_atomicity, test_p2_8_orphan_reconciler,
test_p2_9_autogen_prompt_layer, test_p2_7_attempt_id) to describe what they
test, and strip the matching P-/D-/S- cluster labels from docstrings, comments,
and assertion messages across the test suite and two orchestrator comments.
These are internal references with no meaning in the codebase; behavior is
unchanged.

* style: reformat assertion line shortened by the internal-ref scrub

* build: waive unreachable torch CVE-2025-3000 in pip-audit gate

torch is a transitive CPU-pinned dep (piragi / sentence-transformers) never
loaded at runtime — the stack uses Ollama over HTTP for all embeddings/LLM, so
the vulnerable torch.jit.script path is unreachable. CVE-2025-3000 is MEDIUM,
local-only, with no published fix. Documented --ignore-vuln waiver; revisit when
a fixed torch ships.

* fix(orchestrator): route unplaceable pending tasks to main-pm instead of dropping them

_get_routing_target returned None when a 'dev'-classified task had no cell
agent (no team, or a non-cell team like fullstack/system) or when the routing
classification was unrecognized. _route_unassigned_pm_task logged 'no routing
target found' and returned, leaving the task ownerless and pending — and no
dispatcher re-spawns an unrouted pending task, so it went dormant for 10+ min
until the stuck-task detector caught it.

Fall back to main-pm (the same default cell_pm routing and escalation already
use) so the task is always owned and triaged, never stranded. Logs the fallback
so unplaceable tasks stay visible. Adds a test asserting no (routing, team)
combination ever resolves to None.

* fix(panel): make intake chat markdown inherit the bubble's text color

MarkdownBody is shared by the assistant (text-foreground) and user
(text-primary-foreground) bubbles. [&_*]:!text-inherit only colored the prose
div's descendants, so the prose div itself kept the prose typography body color
(gray) and children inherited that — unreadable on the muted assistant bubble.
Add !text-inherit on the prose div itself so it inherits the bubble's color
too; descendants then inherit the correct foreground. Fixes both bubbles without
hardcoding a color.

* fix(prompter): keep a board-reviewed product on the board team so Approve & Start shows

A product coordination root confirmed via 'Board review & Start' is assigned to
a board reviewer (product-owner) for review, but create_task_from_draft set
team=main_pm for every product unconditionally. The CEO's Approve & Start gate
keys on team=board, so the button never appeared — and because the owner stayed
a board agent while the team said main_pm, the dispatcher routed it to the board
path (nothing left to do after review) and the task stranded at pending, with
the board agent fruitlessly trying to escalate it up.

Route a product by its assignee: a board reviewer keeps it team=board (so the
gate appears and approve_and_start later hands it to Main PM), while a main-pm
assignee — the 'Approve & Start' straight-through path — is team=main_pm. Adds
_assignee_is_board mirroring TaskService's board-role check, and a test.

b9082a5c70 Fix: agent idle deadlock and lifecycle hardening (#96)
* fix(panel): cap dialog height and pin footer so actions stay reachable

Shared DialogContent now caps at max-h-[85vh] with overflow-y-auto, and the
footer is sticky to the bottom. Long content (e.g. a pasted change-request
note) no longer pushes the submit/cancel buttons past the viewport — the body
scrolls while the actions stay visible. No-op on dialogs that already fit.

* feat(notifications): suppress duplicate same-purpose notifications at send

A notification is not created when an unacknowledged one with the same purpose
— same sender, same type, same task, overlapping recipients — already exists.
Body text is not compared, so rewording cannot defeat it; a different type,
task, sender, or an already-acked recipient all still send through. Stops
agents that loop re-issuing the same signal from piling up unread that
soft-blocks the recipient's idle path.

* fix(gateway): stop board/PM lifecycle verbs from 500-crashing

Two unguarded crashes that wedged the org in respawn/escalate loops:

- escalate_to_ceo dereferenced None.status when the verb runner declined the
  escalation (task not in awaiting_pm_review — e.g. a board agent escalating a
  blocked task). It now returns a clean invalid_state. The message/remediate
  build moved to a helper so the function stays within the complexity gate.

- The coordination-root git ops (pr_target, pr_merge, PR update, branch-token
  resolve) called UUID(str(task.project_id)) directly, which raised on a
  coordination/integration task (project_id is None — 'badly formed hexadecimal
  UUID string'). They now resolve through _project_for_task, which falls back to
  the product's repo for project-less roots.

* refactor(intake): split out _block_to_chunk per-block classifier

Extract the per-block classification from _blocks_to_chunks so each function
stays within the xenon cyclomatic-complexity gate (was rank C). Behaviour is
unchanged — verified by the existing intake_driver tests.

* feat(gateway): make the i_am_idle unread soft-block satisfiable

The soft-block on unread A2A / @mentions had no clearing path, so once those
briefing fields populated an agent could never idle — a whole-org deadlock.
Keep the guard (it is correct) and add the missing clear paths:

- New read_messages content verb (schema -> route -> handler ->
  a2a.mark_all_read -> MCP tool -> role do_tools): bulk-zeroes the caller's
  unread A2A and stamps read_at. The idle hint now points to it.
- list_unread_mentions returns UNACKED MENTION-type notifications (each @mention
  already raises one via messaging._notify_mentions) instead of raw,
  unconditional mentions, so they clear via the existing notify_ack. No schema
  migration needed.

The soft-block is now satisfiable: A2A via read_messages, mentions and
notifications via notify_ack.

* fix(tests): repair notification-dedup db.scalar mocks + prompter agent seeding

The notification send-dedup added a db.scalar() purpose-lookup to
_create_notification; the two hand-rolled _FakeDb test stubs (test_notification,
test_a2a_priority_tristate) had no scalar() method → AttributeError. Add
scalar() returning None (no duplicate) so creation proceeds.

Separately, the prompter '& Start' route tests assign the draft to a fixed
product-owner / main-pm AGENT_UUID but only seeded system + CEO, so the
assigned_to FK failed in isolation (and main-pm flaked in the full suite). Seed
both via idempotent merge() in _seed_project_and_ceo.

* fix(git): gitignore .pnpm-store + flag GH001 push rejection as permanent

A dev once committed the ~115 MB pnpm store → GitHub GH001 (>100 MB) pre-receive
reject → open_pr retry-loop. Two root fixes:
- Add .pnpm-store/ to .gitignore — an ignored dir can't be staged by any git add.
- push() restates a GH001 / file-size rejection as an unmistakable PERMANENT
  error pointing at i_am_blocked, so the agent stops blind-retrying a push that
  can never succeed (it otherwise mis-reads the raw output as a transient timeout).
  The per-verb retry cap (open_pr: 5) already bounded the burn; this ends it.

* fix(gateway): accept a PM decision note as satisfying the complete/submit_up reflect gate

A cell/main PM that wrote a fresh decision but no separate reflect note bounced
on the reflect tracing-gate indefinitely (re-confirmed live: cell PMs looped on
cell_pm_complete -> journal:reflect until reaped, burning tokens — worse because
each respawn resets the per-verb retry cap). For a PM closing/submitting a task
the decision note already documents the close; the separate reflect is the
redundant artifact weak-model PMs forget. Accept a fresh decision as satisfying
reflect for complete + submit_up — the gate still requires a decision +
substantive notes, so the close stays documented.

NOTE (enforcement tradeoff, flagged for CEO review): this intentionally relaxes
the PM complete/submit_up gate. It does NOT touch the developer i_am_done gate.

* feat(gateway): refuse i_am_idle when a PM still owns a task awaiting its review

A cell/main PM once tried to 'send work back' by DMing the developer and going
idle — but a DM changes no task state, so the task stayed awaiting_pm_review and
the orchestrator just re-dispatched the PM in a loop. i_am_idle now refuses (like
the pending-assignment guard) when a PM owns an awaiting_pm_review task, with a
clear remediation: complete() to finish, or reassign()/delegate() to route it
back. PM-only; devs/QA/doc unaffected. Pairs with the reflect-gate relaxation so
the PM can actually complete instead of looping.

* feat(gateway): push a prior-work handoff digest into task-scoped briefings

A freshly spawned or respawned agent previously started cold on every
lifecycle hand-off: the prior worker's PR, commits, acceptance status and
journal highlights lived in task evidence but were pull-on-demand, so each
new role agent re-explored the codebase from scratch — wasted tokens and
fragile context loss across respawns.

build_task_handoff() composes a compact, DB-only digest (no git diff) and
_briefing_for() now attaches it to context_briefing whenever the caller
already holds the task row. The digest is built only from a passed-in task,
so there are zero extra fetches: every resumption entry point (give_me_work
and pm_give_me_work, i_will_work_on, i_will_plan, triage/triage_all,
i_am_done, submit_up, escalate_up, complete) threads the loaded task, while
id-only correction/rejection paths cleanly omit it.

Every field is type-guarded so a partial row never leaks a non-serialisable
value into the envelope.

* docs(prompts): tell agents to resume from the briefing handoff before re-exploring

The base prompt described the success envelope but never told agents to act
on context_briefing, so a respawned or hand-off agent would re-scan the
whole repo and re-derive the plan even when the briefing already carried the
prior worker's PR, commits, acceptance status and journal highlights.

Adds a 'Resume from your briefing' section that walks each task_handoff
field and instructs the agent to continue from it — and to read the unread
A2A / mention / notification lists, which are messages addressed to them.

Pairs with the gateway change that now pushes task_handoff into every
task-scoped briefing.

* feat(tasks): remember cleared dependencies so the unblock briefing can surface them

When an upstream dependency completed, _unblock_dependents removed its id from
the dependent's dependency_ids to let it be claimed — destroying the only
record of which upstream task had just landed. The revived dependent then
re-discovered that work from cold.

Adds tasks.completed_dependency_ids (Alembic 026, uuid[] default '{}'):
_unblock_dependents now appends the cleared id there instead of only dropping
it, and the briefing handoff digest surfaces it so the agent picking the task
back up knows its blocker cleared because that upstream work shipped. The base
prompt documents the field.

Migration round-trip verified against postgres (upgrade adds the column,
downgrade drops it).

* docs(prompts): instruct PMs to split oversized tasks into per-concern subtasks

A subtask carrying a long acceptance list or spanning multiple layers/files
drove repeated QA failures and a PM revision loop — QA can't pass a partial,
and the dev keeps re-touching unrelated parts. Nothing in the PM prompts told
them to decompose by size/concern.

cell_pm gets a 'Sizing' rule: one subtask = one focused concern with ~2-4
criteria and its own dev->QA pass; decompose anything larger before
delegating, sequencing with dependencies. main_pm gets a matching reminder to
scope each cell's slice to that cell's layer rather than handing a cell a
cross-layer monolith that just pushes the problem down a level.

* fix(gateway): mirror the task= kwarg on ChoreographerHelpers helper signatures

The handoff-digest change added a keyword-only task= parameter to
_briefing_for and _build_tracing_gap in _impl, but the ChoreographerHelpers
base that the role mixins inherit still declared the old signatures, so the
composed Choreographer had two incompatible base definitions (mypy [misc]).
Sync the base declarations to match.

* fix(tasks): keep the owner on a substitute-out so the task isn't orphaned

build_substitute_update unconditionally nulled assigned_to, so any
substitute that routes to PENDING (max_retries, low_context, out_of_scope_*)
— the path a verb hitting repeated 500s or its retry limit takes — left the
task pending AND unassigned. The dispatcher only respawns a pending task when
it has an owner, so the task went dormant: no agent ever picked it back up.

Keep the task with its current owner instead. A substitute-out is almost
always a transient stall, so the task re-dispatches to the SAME agent, which
resumes from the briefing handoff. Only the task_complete -> PM-review handoff
changes owner (unchanged).

* feat(a2a): suppress duplicate unread A2A messages at send

A respawned or retrying agent could re-emit the same DM, stacking identical
copies on the recipient's inbox and re-bumping the unread count — noise that
the recipient then has to clear. The notification path already dedups; A2A did
not.

send_chat_message now suppresses a send when an identical message from the
same sender is still unread in the conversation, keyed on (conversation,
sender, message_kind, content). Genuinely different messages are never
collapsed (verified: distinct content still produces distinct rows), so this
avoids the earlier per-pair over-suppression. No migration.

* fix(panel): default the notifications view to Unread, not All

Landing on the All tab buried new notifications under everything already
seen — the most-reported annoyance. The Unread tab is the actionable view, so
make it the default; the All/Pending tabs are one click away.

* fix(panel): show clone progress during intake prep instead of a frozen pill

The first clone of a repo can take a few minutes, during which the intake
form showed only a static 'Preparing the agent…' button — indistinguishable
from a hang. Add a progress region while preparing: an elapsed timer, a
saturating progress bar (approaches but never reaches 100% until the agent
actually answers), and staged copy (spinning up → cloning → first-clone-takes-
a-while → reading the codebase) so the wait reads as work, not a freeze.

* feat(docs): index workspace-authored docs that never reached the RAG store

Docs written through roboco_docs_write land at /app/docs on the orchestrator
and index fine. But a documenter can also write docs with Edit/Write directly
in its own clone (README, CHANGELOG, workspace markdown); those resolve to a
/app/docs path that doesn't exist on the orchestrator, so the indexer reads
nothing and the docs never become searchable — a cross-container miss with no
shared mount to bridge it.

On docs completion, capture each listed doc's committed content out of the
branch (new GitService.read_file_at_branch, via git show) and write it
server-side under /app/docs before indexing, so workspace-authored docs reach
RAG too. Docs already present server-side are skipped; absolute paths and
unreadable/uncommitted files are passed over best-effort.

* feat(prompter): survive a browser reload by reconnecting to the live intake chat

The intake chat lived entirely in React state, so a page reload wiped it and
dropped the human back to the scope form — even though the agent container
outlives the page. Now the chat persists a small TTL'd slice (session id,
messages, scope, draft) to localStorage and, on mount, reconnects: it asks the
new GET /live/{id}/status whether the session is still running and, if so,
restores the history and reopens the SSE stream; if dead or expired it clears
and shows the form. A full reload doesn't run React effect cleanup, so the
navigate-away reap never fires on refresh and the session stays up.

Backend adds the status endpoint + PrompterLiveRegistry.is_alive; localStorage
is cleared on confirm, start-another, and SPA navigate-away.

* chore: remove internal session-bookkeeping refs from code comments (part 1)

Strip leaked task/finding numbers, Wave/Phase/cluster/audit labels from
docstrings and comments across services, foundation policy, runtime, mcp,
api schemas, and agent_sdk — they mean nothing to a repo reader and expose
process internals. Wording preserved; only the labels dropped. Done by hand,
one comment at a time (no scripted rewrite). _impl.py follows separately.

* chore: remove internal session-bookkeeping refs from code comments (part 2)

Finishes the manual scrub: the choreographer _impl.py docstrings/comments plus
the remaining dogfood-run ('smoke-N') labels across runtime, mcp, foundation,
api schemas, services, and agent factories. Reworded to describe the bug or
behaviour in plain words; every label dropped. The repo source is now free of
task/finding numbers, Wave/Phase/cluster/audit/smoke labels. By hand, one
comment at a time.

48556a032b Fix: CEO reject conduit and main pm routing (#91)
* fix(tasks): deliver CEO change-requests to the reworker and route integration rejects to the Main PM

ceo_reject previously appended the CEO's required-changes only to quick_context
(never surfaced to an agent) and always reassigned to the original developer, so
the feedback never reached whoever reworked the task and a coordination/integration
root went to a developer instead of the Main PM.

Now ceo_reject records the reason as a DECISION_LOG handoff journal entry — the
channel evidence/journal_highlights already serves to the task's assignee — and
routes a coordination task (no project, has product) to team=main_pm + the Main PM
so it can delegate the rework. Leaf dev tasks still return to the original
developer. The journal write is best-effort (author-exists guard) and never blocks
a reject. Adds tests for the routing and the handoff-journal write.

* feat(gateway): wire the agent context_briefing receive-path

EvidenceRepo's agent-scoped methods were stubbed to return empty lists, so agents
never received notifications, A2A DMs, @mentions, recent team activity, or in-lane
blockers through their briefing — the system was effectively send-only. This
implements all five as single capped queries over the live tables (plus a light
task-metadata-gap check), mirroring the existing journal_highlights query. Each runs
on the per-verb briefing path, so each stays a single LIMIT-10 indexed lookup.

Unit tests cover the row mapping + empty paths; an integration suite exercises the
real SQL (array contains, the a2a slug filter, team+status) against Postgres.

Renn F 3c02dc7f03 fix: read the real commit key (hash) and audit the restore-unblock path
- The auto-pause checkpoint and _extract_first_commit_sha read commit dicts by
  key 'sha', but persisted commits are keyed 'hash' (CommitRef.hash) — the prior
  change stopped the crash but silently dropped every ref. Read 'hash' (sha
  fallback) at both sites; the test now uses the production dict shape so the
  regression can't hide.
- unblock_with_restore set status directly and skipped the audit log; emit the
  status-transition audit there too, like the other direct-set paths.

3205443119 Fix: dependency spawn gate and cell ownership (#73)
* Cleanup + Missing greenlet error

* fix(messaging): persist a group's active-session pointer so posts reuse it

create_session and create_session_with_access_check set group.active_session_id
from session.id BEFORE the flush that materializes it — the id is a flush-time
uuid4 default, so the pointer was written as NULL and every post opened a fresh
session, fragmenting one conversation across many. Flush first, then link, the
same ordering the seed path already uses.

Two tests fabricated "two distinct sessions" by calling create_session twice on
one group, which only differed because of this bug; switch them to two groups so
they keep testing their real intent. Add a regression guard that the pointer is
actually persisted and a second create reuses the live session.

* fix(orchestrator): gate spawns on dependencies and keep cell tasks in their cell

The cross-task dependency check ran only on the dev dispatch path, so cell-PM,
Main-PM and board agents were spawned onto dependency-blocked tasks and flailed
unblock / escalate / notify against an unfinished upstream — climbing ownership
of cell work up to the board, which cannot drive it, and deadlocking the task.

- Move the dependency gate into the shared spawn readiness check so it covers
  every role, and auto-block the task so it leaves the pending pool until the
  upstream reaches a terminal state (then the existing auto-unblock revives it).
- Cell-ownership invariant: a backend/frontend/ux_ui task may only be worked or
  owned by its own cell. The readiness gate refuses a board or Main-PM spawn
  onto a cell task; reassign refuses and clears such an owner; and on
  dependency-clear a mis-owned cell task is re-homed to its cell's pending pool
  instead of reviving under an owner that cannot progress it.
- A dependency block is never a CEO signal: notify(target=ceo) is refused while
  the task is waiting on an unfinished upstream, with a remediate to idle and
  wait — the block clears on its own.

* Uploading images + Fixing pyproject.toml

* ++

* revert(orchestrator): drop the cell-ownership block pending a tooling audit

The cell-ownership invariant added earlier — a board / Main-PM role may never be
spawned onto or reassigned to a cell task, plus re-homing a mis-owned cell task
on dependency-clear — was too absolute. It forbids a higher role from stepping
in when something genuinely deeper is going on, and contradicts the existing
rule that main_pm may hold a task at awaiting_pm_review. The dependency spawn
gate already prevents the cascade that handed the board cell tasks; the deadlock
it guarded against will be addressed with a return-path approach after auditing
what tools the cell PMs actually need. Keeps the dependency gate and the CEO
dependency-block notify guard.

* docs(prompts): a dependency wait is wait-and-idle, not escalate

The cell-PM and Main-PM prompts told agents to escalate_up / retry unblock on a
blocked task without distinguishing a dependency wait (which auto-clears the
moment the upstream completes) from a real wedge — the source of the
escalate/unblock flail and the CEO-notification spam. Split the blocked-state
guidance: a cross-cell dependency wait = note + i_am_idle (do not escalate,
unblock, or notify the CEO); escalate only a genuinely broken upstream. Fix two
stale references to i_am_blocked, a developer-only verb the PMs do not have,
to escalate_up.

Correct the CLAUDE.md verb-surface table, which understated every role: it
listed 4 cell_pm verbs while the flow manifest derives the full set (11,
including unclaim and i_am_idle) from lifecycle.spec.intents_for_role.

* feat(gateway): cell_pm reassign verb — intra-cell developer hand-off

A cell PM can now hand a claimed/in_progress task to another developer in its
own cell without unclaim (which drops the work back to the pool and loses the
assignee). The branch is keyed to the task, so the work-in-progress is
preserved; the new dev is respawned to continue. Intra-cell only: the task must
be in the caller's cell and new_assignee must be a developer of that same cell.

Wired through every layer: the reassign IntentSpec (composes=(), cell_pm-only),
the choreographer verb + intra-cell guard, a reaper-safe
TaskService.reassign_active_claim (reseeds the claim heartbeat so the new dev
is not immediately reaped), the ReassignRequest schema, the cell_pm flow route,
and the MCP flow-server tool. Tracing-waived like unclaim (mechanical hand-off).
Regenerated lifecycle/verb artifacts; prompt + CLAUDE.md updated.

06682f33c6 Fix: agent workflow hardening (#70)
* fix(gateway): push the branch before QA handoff so reviewers see the latest commits

The commit content tool commits locally without pushing; only open_pr pushed
the branch. On the first submission that was fine, but a fix committed while
addressing needs_revision never reached origin (open_pr is skipped once the PR
exists), so QA — which reviews the remote PR branch — re-reviewed the stale
remote and re-failed the task on every cycle, a loop that never converged.

i_am_done now pushes the task branch (idempotent; a no-op when nothing is
unpushed) as part of the shared submit gate, covering both the normal and
resume-from-verifying paths. A push failure blocks the handoff with a clear
remediation rather than parking the task in awaiting_qa with commits that exist
only in the developer's local workspace.

* fix(orchestrator): don't reap a stale claim while the agent's container is alive

The stale-claim reaper released any claimed/in_progress task whose
last_heartbeat_at exceeded the TTL. The heartbeat only updates on certain
gateway calls, so a developer deep in a long edit/test cycle outran the TTL and
had its claim reaped mid-work — churning the task and risking a double spawn
against the still-running container.

The reaper now skips a task whose assignee still holds a live (ACTIVE) agent
instance, trusting container liveness — the ground truth — over the heartbeat
proxy. The check is defensive on missing fields so a heartbeat-only caller (and
the reaper's existing unit tests) behave exactly as before.

* fix(gateway): refuse to unblock a task while a dependency is unfinished

A PM unblock on a dependency-gated task moved it straight to in_progress,
overriding the dependency — letting a dependent proceed without its upstream's
work (e.g. a frontend task built before its UX design lands). A dependency
block is meant to clear on its own via _unblock_dependents the moment the
upstream reaches a terminal state.

unblock now refuses while any dependency is still non-terminal, returning a
clear remediation that the block resolves automatically. Manual unblock remains
available for genuine, non-dependency blockers.

* fix(gateway): release a dependency-blocked claim to pending instead of looping

A task that reached claimed/in_progress with an unfinished dependency was left
in that state when the claim guard rejected, so the orchestrator's respawn loop
kept reviving its assignee — which could make no progress — burning work for
nothing.

The claim guard now releases such a task back to pending. claimed -> blocked is
not a legal transition, so pending — held by the dispatch dependency filter — is
the lifecycle-correct resting state: the respawn loop ignores pending tasks, and
_unblock_dependents re-dispatches it once the upstream reaches a terminal state.
release_dependency_blocked_claim shares a _force_unclaim_to_pending core with
unclaim_for_reaper so both record a truthful work-session abandon reason.

* feat(security): warn at startup in header-trust mode + document the auth posture

When ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED is not enabled the API accepts the X-Agent-Id /
X-Agent-Role headers without a signed token, so any client that can reach it may
act as any role (including 'ceo'). The API now logs a clear warning at startup
in this mode, and the README gains a Security section documenting the auth
posture and how to harden it. Acceptable only on a trusted private network — do
not expose the API to untrusted networks.

* fix(workspace): scope the refresh fetch to current + default branch

ensure_workspace's healthy short-circuit ran an all-refs 'git fetch origin' to
keep every origin/<branch> ref current. On a monorepo with many accumulated
feature/* branches that exceeds the refresh timeout, the fetch silently fails,
and the workspace keeps a stale base — so an agent builds on an out-of-date
branch.

The refresh now fetches only the workspace's current branch and the repo's
default branch (resolved via origin/HEAD), with --no-tags --prune: it transfers
near-nothing and can't time out. Readers need their own branch and the default;
the integration branch is refreshed at branch-creation time.

* fix(git): refresh a dependency-blocked task's branch off the current integration tip

A cross-cell dependent (e.g. a frontend task waiting on the UX design) was
branched off a base captured before its upstream merged into the integration
branch, and the branch was never re-synced — so the agent built on a stale
snapshot with none of the upstream's work.

Two changes close the gap:
- release_dependency_blocked_claim now clears branch_name, so the re-claim
  (after the dependency clears) re-runs branch creation.
- create_branch, when the branch is already on disk with no commits of its own,
  resets it onto the freshly-pulled base — the dependent now builds on the
  current integration tip. A branch carrying real commits is left untouched, so
  no work is discarded; the cell->leaf cascade carries the upstream down to the
  dev branch automatically.

* refactor(gateway): drop the sibling-sequence claim guard

Sibling sequence no longer gates a claim. Cross-cell ordering is
enforced by task dependencies — a cell task that depends on another is
held until its upstream reaches a terminal state, a stronger,
status-aware gate than the sequence-number check. That check was
dormant in practice anyway: every fan-out child carries sequence 0, on
which the guard short-circuited. `sequence` stays a sibling-ordering /
dispatch-priority field (list_pending ordering and the panel).

Removes sibling_sequence_guard and its _earlier_blocking_sibling
helper, the now-unused skip_sequence parameter threaded through the
claim verbs, and the sibling fetch that fed it.

* feat(gateway): sort a cross-cell dependent after its upstream

When the frontend cell task is wired to depend on its UX/UI sibling, set
its sequence to the upstream's sequence + 1 so it sorts after the design
it waits on — list_pending ordering and the panel now show UX ahead of
the implementation it gates, in either delegation order.

Adds TaskService.set_sequence (the sibling-ordering field is a service
write; it carries no claim-gating semantics — dependencies gate claims).

* feat(gateway): make the backend cell depend on UX too

UX/UI design defines the screens and API contracts both implementation
cells build against, so the backend cell — not just the frontend — waits
on the UX/UI cell task in a product fan-out and sorts after it. Wires in
either delegation order: a backend task delegated after UX gets the
dependency directly; a UX task delegated after a still-pending backend
sibling retro-wires it.

Mirrors the existing frontend wiring (_depend_backend_on_ux and
_depend_pending_backends_on_ux). Backend is held by the same dependency
gate, so it costs no extra dispatch churn.

* fix(websocket): forward notification acks instead of logging them incomplete

The bridge handler serves both notification.sent and notification.acked,
but acked events carry `agent_id` (the acking agent) rather than
`recipient_id`, so every acknowledgement tripped the missing-field guard
and logged "Incomplete notification event" instead of reaching the panel.
Accept either field as the recipient.

* feat(api): hint the full UUID when a truncated task id fails validation

Agents copy the 8-character task prefix the system shows them (the commit
prefix, task summaries) and send it as task_id, which fails UUID
validation with an opaque "invalid length" 422 and wastes a call. The
request-validation handler now detects a task_id UUID error and attaches
a `remediate` hint telling the agent to retry with the full 36-character
UUID from its task envelope.

* fix(audit): record the blocked transition when a task is escalated

Escalation sets a task to blocked by writing task.status directly, which
bypassed the validated transition helper and so never emitted a
task.blocked audit row — the lifecycle moved but the Auditor saw nothing.
Extract the audit emit from the central transition helper into
_emit_status_transition_audit and call it from the escalate path,
capturing the prior status and outgoing owner before reassignment so the
row is attributed correctly.

* fix(docs): stop doubling the docs path so design specs index into RAG

The documenter sometimes hands a doc path already rooted at docs/, and
joining it onto DOCS_BASE_PATH (/app/docs) produced /app/docs/docs/...,
so the file was never found and the spec never indexed — the frontend
cell could not retrieve the UX design over RAG. Normalize the path
before joining: trust an absolute path, otherwise strip a single
redundant leading docs/ segment.

* feat(security): let the control panel authenticate in secure mode

With ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED=true every request must carry a valid
HMAC token, which locked the human control panel out — it sends role
headers but no token. nginx, the only trusted hop between the browser
and the API, now injects the CEO token on /api and /ws, so the browser
never holds the signing secret. The injected value is just the existing
per-agent token issued for the CEO identity (issue_panel_token), so the
token-verification path is unchanged. An empty value (dev/header-trust
mode) renders to no header.

`make panel-token` prints the value; set it as ROBOCO_PANEL_AGENT_TOKEN
in .env before enabling secure mode. .env.example and the README
Security section document the flow.

* chore(compose): consolidate the two compose files into one

docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.yaml had diverged: .yml — the file
Docker actually uses — carried ROBOCO_PUBLIC_BASE_URL but was missing the
/app/manifests bind-mount, while .yaml had the manifests mount but not
the base URL. Merge the union into docker-compose.yml and delete the
duplicate so there is one source of truth and no "multiple config files"
warning.

This activates the manifests mount in the deployed file: without it the
orchestrator writes per-agent tool manifests to its ephemeral container
fs, they never reach the host for the daemon to bind-mount, and agents
fall back to all-verbs registration. Drop the stale .yaml reference from
the config.py docstring, the labeler, and the CI path filters.

Renn F d47adfe027 fix(gateway): rejection envelopes always carry a human-readable message
tracing_gap and incomplete_input rejections set missing and remediate but
left message null. The audit log records message (not remediate) and agents
keyed on message, so a rejected agent saw a null reason and retried the same
verb until it burned out instead of reading remediate and self-correcting.

Both builders (and from_decision) now derive a non-null message that folds
the missing tokens and the actionable remediate into one line, so the agent
and the audit trail always see what was missing and how to fix it.
2026-06-04 06:01:06 +02:00
Renn F 555c33ad7d fix(gateway): let a dependent agent read its dependency via evidence
evidence is read-only, but the cross-agent ownership gate blocked a caller from
inspecting a task its own work depends on (a frontend cell could not read the UX
task it was waiting on). Exempt reads where the target is a dependency of a task
assigned to the caller. Also dropped stale internal refs from the docstring.
2026-06-04 02:12:45 +02:00
Renn F 2c96bd09f6 fix(gateway): heartbeat on content-write success, single-claimant gate, progress soft-warn
commit()/progress()/note() now refresh last_heartbeat_at on the success
path (best-effort, suppressed), not only on rejection — an actively
writing agent no longer looks idle to the reaper between verb successes.

commit()/progress() verify the caller holds the active claim
(active_claimant_id), not merely the historical assigned_to, so a reaped
or handed-off assignee can no longer write onto a freed task; a non-holder
gets a not_authorized envelope with a clear remediate.

progress() with no plan_step on a task that has steps is accepted (product
decision for narrative mid-step updates) and logs a soft warning instead of
rejecting.

Renn F a5af6159d7 fix(gateway): evidence surfaces the task's board/PM handoff journal entries
journal_highlights_for_task was a Phase-1 stub returning [], so evidence()
never surfaced the upstream Product Owner / Head of Marketing review. The
Main PM picked up a board-reviewed coordination task, saw no handoff, and
re-researched from scratch (duplicated work). Query the task's
decision/reflection/note entries across authors (slug + role), oldest
first, so the Main PM builds on the board's analysis instead of redoing it.

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

Renn F 08b56d4680 fix(gateway): i_documented auto-records journal:reflect from submission
The reflect gate's first, by-design tracing_gap ('journal:reflect missing')
counts toward the per-verb circuit breaker (i_documented limit 3 / 60s). A
documenter that fumbled note(scope='reflect') even twice got locked out and
went idle, stranding the task in awaiting_documentation with the PR orphaned.

i_documented now synthesizes the required reflect entry from the notes + files
it already carries, but only when the submission clears the notes/files gate
thresholds and the agent did not journal one themselves (theirs is richer and
left untouched). One call, no loop.

Renn F d49d1cdb37 feat(gateway): developers author the full rich plan, at parity with PMs
A dev's i_will_work_on stored a flat {text} plan and routed steps to
progress, so the dev leaf's Plan tab rendered empty (no approach,
sub_tasks, technical_considerations, risks) — zero audit/tracing on the
task that does the actual work.

i_will_work_on now captures the same rich plan a PM authors via
i_will_plan: plan(>=150) doubles as approach, steps become sub_tasks,
plus technical_considerations + risks (open_questions optional). A new
_dev_plan_gate enforces them on FRESH claims only (re-entry/recovery
short-circuit before it). set_plan gains a no-downgrade guard so a
flaked-then-recovered dev can't clobber its rich plan back to flat (the
actual mechanism behind the empty leaf).

Renn F a8056892b6 fix(gateway): main_pm completes an in_progress root; walk it to CEO
A root resumed from paused (its subtasks all terminal) sits in
in_progress, but escalate_to_ceo requires source=awaiting_pm_review and
nothing moves the root there — submit_up is cell-PM-only. main_pm_complete
rejected the in_progress root ("expected awaiting_pm_review"), so the
chain stalled one step short of CEO.

main_pm_complete now:
- accepts in_progress (own root, subtasks terminal) in addition to
  awaiting_pm_review;
- after opening the root->master PR (which sets pr_created), walks the
  root in_progress->awaiting_pm_review via the TaskService transition
  (role-validated, no gateway team-match) so escalate_to_ceo's source
  gate passes;
- then escalates -> awaiting_ceo_approval.

The root->master PR is non-empty because the cell->root PR was already
merged into the root branch (the prior cell-completion fix). Updated
test_main_pm_complete_wrong_status (in_progress is now valid; uses paused)
and added a regression test for the in_progress->CEO path.

Renn F e3def6b3a2 fix(gateway): cell PM completes its own cell task; drop main-PM handoff
submit_up bubbled the cell task to Main PM (_handoff_to_main_pm), but
main_pm_complete rejects any task with a parent_task_id ("only operates
on root tasks"), so the cell->root PR had no one to merge it and the
cell task wedged at awaiting_pm_review. _maybe_advance_parent_to_pm_review
already intends the CELL PM to complete it.

Cell PM now owns cell completion:
- submit_up no longer hands off to Main PM; the cell task stays assigned
  to the cell PM, which is respawned to complete() it. Removed the
  now-unused _handoff_to_main_pm.
- cell_pm_complete resolves the merge target from the parent task's real
  branch_name (shared merge_chain.resolve_parent_branch, also used by the
  PR side-effects) so the cell->root PR merges into feature/main_pm/...,
  not the team-mis-derived feature/<cellteam>/... (same root cause as the
  prior PR-base fix).
- submit_up description + next_hint updated; lifecycle artifacts regen.

Main PM still only completes the ROOT (root->master + escalate-to-CEO).
First run to reach cell-PM bubble-up exposed this.

Renn F 32b6b31dd6 fix(gateway): PR base/target is the parent task's branch, not derived
submit_up opened the cell->root PR with a base computed by
merge_chain.parent_branch_for, which drops the last --segment but
REUSES the child's team prefix. Across a team boundary (cell
feature/backend/ROOT--CELL -> root feature/main_pm/ROOT) that yields a
ref that does not exist on the remote, so GitHub rejects the PR with
422 base: invalid and the cell parent wedges.

Resolve the base/target from the parent task's authoritative
branch_name (what branch creation already cuts each child from), via a
shared VerbRunner._parent_branch_for helper used by _do_create_pr and
_do_pr_merge. Falls back to parent_branch_for only when there is no
parent (root->master -> master) or it has no branch yet. The leaf->cell
path is unchanged (same team). Latent since the merge chain landed;
first run to reach cell-PM bubble-up exposed it after #180.
2026-05-23 04:14:12 +02:00
Renn F c78395f9fc fix(gateway): submit_up opens cell PR before the pm-review transition
submit_up composed submit_pm_review (atomic) then create_pr (side
effect), but VerbRunner.run_intent runs all composes before any side
effect. submit_pm_review rejects without a PR (returns None), then
create_pr deref'd the None task -> 'NoneType has no attribute
branch_name', wedging cell-PM bubble-up in a respawn loop.

Add IntentSpec.pre_side_effects, run before composes. submit_up now
opens the cell->root PR first (persisting pr_number), so submit_pm_review
re-fetches and passes its pr_created gate. Mirrors the dev open_pr ->
i_am_done split. Latent since the lifecycle spec (207aaec); first run to
reach cell-PM bubble-up exposed it.

Renn F 3d34fc2677 feat(progress): plan-driven progress — % derived from the plan checklist (#173)
Progress was only the synthetic milestone entry (auto-emitted at
open_pr/i_am_done); agents never deliberately reported and the % was
an ungated free-form guess.

Now the plan's sub_tasks ARE the progress skeleton:
- progress() gains optional `plan_step` (a sub_task id or its 1-based
  order). With it, that step is marked completed and the percentage is
  DERIVED as completed/total (equal weight) via new
  TaskService.record_plan_progress — the agent cannot set/game it.
- A narrative entry WITHOUT plan_step is allowed for important
  mid-step documentation and carries the current derived % (the bar
  never regresses). No hard anti-spam gate (would loop minimax) —
  prompt guidance steers "meaningful moments, not every tool call".
- `percentage` is now an optional fallback, used only for tasks with
  no sub_task checklist (back-compat). v2 ProgressRequest, the do.py
  route, and the do_server MCP tool updated accordingly.
- An unmatched plan_step returns invalid_state listing the valid step
  refs (resolve by id / order / 1-based index).
- developer + documenter prompts updated to the plan_step workflow.
- Helpers extracted (_plan_subtasks/_derive_plan_pct/_valid_step_refs/
  _mark_subtask_complete) to keep record_plan_progress within the
  cyclomatic gate.

Renn F 4c397e1768 feat(gateway): developer i_will_work_on takes a substantive step checklist (#172)
The dev plan was a free string with only a presence gate, so the
executing dev had no checklist for plan-driven progress (#173).

- IWillWorkOnRequest gains `steps` (same SubTask shape as a PM's
  sub_tasks); flow_dev route threads it through.
- i_will_work_on layers steps onto the narrative plan via the same
  panel-shaped path PMs use, so task.plan.sub_tasks is populated
  (panel render + #173 progress).
- New _dev_steps_gate (mirrors _pm_sub_tasks_gate, runs after the spec
  gate): a developer FRESH claim must supply a non-empty steps list
  with every description >= _PM_SUBTASK_DESC_MIN_LEN. Re-entry/recovery
  short-circuit before the gate (extracted _dev_reentry +
  _fresh_dev_claim keep i_will_work_on within the
  return-count + cyclomatic gates).
- developer role prompt: steps template + "thin steps rejected" + the
  progress(plan_step=...) handoff.
- Updated every dev-fresh-claim test fixture across the suite to pass
  substantive steps; added dedicated _dev_steps_gate coverage.
