Bug:
ContentActions.evidence() hard-coded files_changed=[] and diffed
against HEAD~1 instead of the branch's parent. QA's _build_qa_claim_
evidence (and doc/_impl mirrors) sourced files_changed from
work_session.files_modified, which the gateway commit() never
populates (no add_files_modified plumbing). Result: QA / docs / PM
reviewers saw an empty change list on real PRs and only the latest
commit's delta — flagged in smoke-9 when PR #20 showed the README
change on GitHub but evidence() reported empty.
Fix:
Added GitService.list_changed_files (git diff --name-only against
parent branch). evidence(), _build_qa_claim_evidence,
_claim_doc_evidence, and _build_i_am_done_ok all source files_changed
from this — git is the authoritative source. evidence() also drops
the HEAD~1 base so the diff is the full PR.
Wired EvidenceRepo into ContentActionsDeps so evidence() returns
journal_highlights too, matching the QA/doc shape.
Three Wave 2 gaps from the 2026-05-11 pre-gateway parity design:
G4 — note() decision/reflect now require structured fields at the gateway
(pre-gateway `Field(...)` parity). Returns `incomplete_input` envelope
with field-by-field hints when any required field is missing.
- decision: context (str), options (list[{name,pros,cons}] min len 2),
chosen (str), rationale (str). `consequences` and `next_steps` are
now list[str] (was str). Renderer emits each option as a "### Name
+ Pros / Cons" block instead of a bullet — matches the pre-gateway
DecisionOption sub-shape exposed in `roboco/mcp/schemas/__init__.py`
at `254cc93`.
- reflect: what_done, what_learned, what_struggled (each non-empty
str). next_steps stays optional.
- Bumped tests/unit/gateway/test_content_actions.py with explicit
pass-with-N-options coverage (≥2 floor; 3-option case green).
G5 — i_will_plan now persists sub_tasks alongside approach / risks /
open_questions / technical_considerations. The Plan tab's Sub-Tasks
section was empty because the verb didn't accept the field. Choreographer
server-assigns id + order to each sub_task (pre-gateway build_plan_data
parity) and normalizes every list entry to the EXACT shape
`panel/src/types/index.ts::TaskPlan` consumes:
- SubTask: {id, title, description, completed:false, order,
estimated_hours:null, notes:null}
- Risk: {description, mitigation, severity:null} — accepts the
{risk, mitigation} pre-gateway shape too
- OpenQuestion: {question, answer:null, answered_by:null,
answered_at:null} — accepts a bare string fallback
The normalization lives in three small module-level helpers
(_normalize_sub_task / _normalize_risk / _normalize_open_question)
called from _build_panel_shaped_plan, keeping i_will_plan's branch
count under PLR0912.
G6 — new `channels()` verb returns the agent's readable + writable
channel slugs from foundation.policy.communications. Stops invented
slugs ("backend-dev", "backend") that we kept seeing in smoke runs.
Added to every role's manifest including auditor (read-only access).
Wired through:
- roboco/api/schemas/v2/do.py — list-typed consequences/next_steps,
dict-typed options, ChannelsRequest
- roboco/api/schemas/v2/flow.py — IWillPlanRequest.sub_tasks
- roboco/api/routes/v2/do.py — /channels endpoint
- roboco/api/routes/v2/flow_*.py — pass sub_tasks through
- roboco/services/gateway/content_actions.py — channels() method;
_check_scope_required_fields enforces decision/reflect structure;
_render_option_block emits per-option markdown blocks
- roboco/services/gateway/choreographer/_impl.py — _build_panel_shaped_plan
helper used by i_will_plan
- roboco/services/gateway/role_config.py — _CHANNEL_DISCOVERY tuple
on every role
- roboco/mcp/do_server.py — channels() tool + note() signature with
options as list[dict[str,str]]
- roboco/mcp/flow_server.py — i_will_plan signature with sub_tasks
Frontend: no code change. panel/src/types/index.ts already declares
the exact shape we now write; panel/src/components/tasks/task-detail/
{tab-plan,tab-progress,tab-sessions,tab-notes}.tsx already reads it.
The empty panels we observed were a backend write-side problem, not
a frontend read-side problem — Wave 1 + Wave 2 close it.
Quality: ruff + mypy clean. 505 unit tests pass (added 2 new tests on
decision-scope requirements, updated 3 existing tests to fit the
pre-gateway-parity contract).
Spec ref: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-11-pre-gateway-parity-design.md
Smoke 2026-05-03 saw main-pm reach the git layer with a 'commit' call,
trying to author 'fix(gateway): allow claimed status in i_will_plan
preflight'. That should never have been possible — main_pm/cell_pm/
board/auditor/qa manifests all exclude commit. Reaching the verb body
means either the MCP manifest filter mis-routed, or the agent hit the
v2 do.py route directly.
Mirror Task 16 notify pattern: server-side role check in the verb body
rejects with not_authorized + 'PMs delegate, do not commit' remediate.
Defense-in-depth — manifest is still the primary gate.
Pre-gateway PMs/Board sent formal notifications (require ack); gateway
had say/dm only. Now PMs and Board can issue ack-required notifications
via NotificationService through the standard envelope path.
When a caller passes an explicit task_id to commit / note / say / dm /
evidence, ContentActions now verifies task.assigned_to == caller_agent_id
before allowing the side effect. Auto-fill from get_active_task_for_agent
is implicitly self-owned and does not need a re-check.
evidence() additionally allows assigned_to=None (post-handoff transient
state) so QA / documenter can inspect tasks between reassignments.
Pre-gateway, agents could not even see tasks they didn't own because the
MCP handlers resolved task from session context. The gateway exposes
task_id parameters across multiple verbs, so the explicit ownership
gate is required.
Exception: say() and dm() with NO task_id are exempt — used for channel
announcements and off-task A2A. The strict guard only applies when the
agent supplies a task_id parameter.
