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.

9f8834155a Feature: prompter gold upgrade (#84)
* feat(prompter): make the assistant a RoboCo insider and fully wire launch

The Prompter's intelligence lived in two thin static prompts, so it asked
generic checklist questions and produced a flat task. The launch path was
also only half-wired: the panel called the generic task-create endpoint with
no project, bypassing the Prompter's own confirm flow.

Interview brain
- Rewrite the chat system prompt with RoboCo's org model, the task-spec
  standard, a dimensions playbook, and a reflect-back, 1-2-questions-per-turn,
  auto-stop discipline.
- Inject the live projects/products list each turn so the assistant grounds
  questions in real surfaces and resolves the target itself.
- Replace the brittle phrase-match readiness with a parsed roboco-meta control
  block (parse_readiness); the block is stripped from the visible reply and the
  turn now returns draft_ready + scale.

Structured GOLD draft
- Add first-class draft fields (objective, what_this_builds, the_work, notes)
  carried in the existing draft_data JSONB — no migration.
- Compose the GOLD markdown description deterministically from those fields
  (compose_description); the model never hand-formats the body.

Adaptive routing + wired launch
- Confirm now runs through the Prompter confirm endpoint with the human's
  project/product choice and edited structured draft.
- Single-cell targets a project and the cell team; a multi-cell feature targets
  a product and becomes a Main-PM coordination root that fans out.

Frontend
- Turn-envelope draft_ready (drop the duplicated phrase-match), structured
  draft card, confirm dialog with a project/product picker and a per-cell
  The Work editor, and the corrected priority labels (0 highest .. 3 lowest).

* fix(prompter): commit session writes so they survive across requests

Session create returned 201 but the row was never durably committed, so the
immediately-following /messages call could not find it and 404'd. The prompter
routes were the only write surface that never called db.commit() — every other
write route (tasks, a2a, groups, docs, product) commits explicitly rather than
rely on the request-teardown auto-commit, which is sensitive to middleware and
teardown ordering under the production server.

- Commit explicitly in all four prompter write routes (create session, send
  message, get/generate draft, confirm).
- Fix _get_session's NotFoundError: it passed a full sentence as resource_type,
  producing the doubled "... not found not found" message; now uses the
  (resource_type, resource_id) signature.
- Panel: when a message hits a session the server no longer has, start a fresh
  session and retry once instead of dead-ending on a stale id.

Add a regression test that gives each request its own non-committing session —
the real cross-request boundary the shared-session integration tests never
crossed. It reproduces the production 404 without the route commit and passes
with it.

* refactor(prompter): drop the "GOLD" jargon for plain wording

"GOLD" was informal shorthand for "a good/well-formed spec" that should never
have been baked into the LLM prompts, comments, and docstrings as if it were a
defined term. Replace it everywhere with plain language ("a well-formed task",
"a complete task spec", "the markdown description", "structured spec fields").
No behaviour change.

* feat(intake): add the intake interviewer agent role (static definition)

Phase 1 of the intake-agent feature: a new first-class `prompter` role — the
intake interviewer the CEO chats with to draft a task. This commit defines the
role across every foundation layer (no runtime yet); spawning + the live
session come next.

- identity: Role.PROMPTER, RoleLevel.INTAKE (lowest authority), an AGENTS row
  (intake-1) on the board team, ROLE_LEVEL entry. Deliberately NOT in
  BOARD_ROLES — it interviews, it does not review.
- lifecycle: gets i_am_idle like every agent (its only verb); no
  delivery-lifecycle intents.
- journaling: ReadTier.OWN — isolated, reads only its own journal.
- role_config: human-only manifest — note + evidence only, no say/dm/notify/
  channels; allows_subagent=True (research), allows_write=False.
- agents_config derives it automatically and correctly excludes it from
  TASK_CREATOR_ROLES (it drafts, it never creates tasks).
- seed presentation ("Intake"); regenerated lifecycle artifacts.
- role system prompt: read the code first, single-CEO awareness, propose
  rather than interrogate — written against the failures we saw.
- docs: roster count 19 -> 20, org charts, verb-surface table, usage roster.

All foundation drift checks pass; role/manifest/permission tests green.

* feat(intake): migrate agentrole enum to add 'prompter'

ALTER TYPE agentrole ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'prompter' so the intake agent
row seeds/spawns against a migrated production DB. Forward-only (postgres
can't drop enum values), guarded for offline mode — matches migration 012.

* style(intake): ruff format the role additions

* fix(intake): unguard the agentrole migration so it renders offline

The enum-migration-parity test renders 'alembic upgrade head --sql' (offline)
and greps for ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE. The is_offline_mode() guard skipped
emitting it, so the parity check couldn't see 'prompter'. Drop the guard —
PG16 permits ADD VALUE in a transaction, same as migration 020's backfill.

* feat(intake): the live-session driver (Claude Agent SDK loop)

Phase 2 begins. The intake agent isn't a one-shot `claude -p`; it's a live
Claude Code session the human chats with. This driver is the container's loop:
open one long-lived claude-agent-sdk ClaudeSDKClient, then per human message
run a turn (query + receive_response) and stream its events out, keeping
conversation context in-process — verified against the real SDK (v0.2.94).

- StreamChunk + normalize(): map SDK messages (StreamEvent text deltas,
  AssistantMessage text/thinking/tool_use blocks, ResultMessage→session_id) to
  panel-facing chunks. Duck-typed, so it works on real SDK objects and on test
  fakes alike — SDK-free, fully unit-tested.
- IntakeDriver.run(): the loop, with injected session/source/sink seams; a turn
  failure surfaces as an error chunk without killing the session.
- SdkIntakeSession + build_intake_options: the only SDK-coupled code (lazy
  import; needs the live claude binary, so excluded from coverage).
- Add claude-agent-sdk dependency + mypy ignore-missing-stubs.

Relay, panel SSE, and the persistent on-demand spawn are the next steps.

* Updated uv.lock

* feat(intake): the panel<->agent live bridge (registry, routes, entrypoint, image)

Wires the live intake chat end to end (Phase 2 integration layer):

- prompter_live.py: the orchestrator-side per-session registry — open/close,
  push (agent->panel), stream (SSE drain), deliver (panel->container). In-process
  (the orchestrator is single-process). 7 unit tests.
- routes/prompter_live.py: GET /live/{id}/stream (SSE), POST /live/{id}/messages
  (deliver), POST /live/{id}/events (relay in); registered under /api/prompter.
  5 integration tests.
- agent_sdk/intake_main.py: the container entrypoint — a POST /turn receiver
  (the driver's MessageSource) + a relay-poster EventSink + the ClaudeSDKClient
  session, run concurrently. 4 unit tests on the wiring helpers.
- docker/agent-prompter.Dockerfile: FROM base, ENTRYPOINT = the driver (not the
  one-shot `claude` the other agents use).

Remaining for Phase 2: the orchestrator persistent-spawn path (scope->workspace
clone, CMD = driver, registry.open on spawn, reap-on-confirm) — the deploy-side
piece, best finalized against a buildable image.

* feat(intake): orchestrator persistent spawn + start/stop for the live chat

Add the task-free spawn path for the intake (prompter) agent: one fixed
intake-1 container running the Agent-SDK driver (image ENTRYPOINT, not
claude -p), one live session at a time.

- spawn_intake_session clones the scope's repo(s) via WorkspaceService
  (project -> one; product -> each distinct project, primary first),
  composes the intake-1 prompt, resolves the model, and builds docker run
  via _build_intake_run_cmd: no settings/hook mount (driver owns 9000),
  no MCP config, no -w; registers the live relay and best-effort delivers
  the opening message once the receiver is up.
- reap_intake_session closes the relay and stops the container.
- Routes: POST /live/start (project XOR product) and POST /live/{id}/stop.
- ROLE_MODEL_MAP[prompter]=opus; intake-1 -> roboco-agent-prompter image map.
- Replace the budget-sweep try/except/continue with _fetch_budget_status,
  which logs the swallow at debug instead of silently dropping it.

25 new tests; docker + the clone are mocked. End-to-end container spawn is
pending a built image and the stack.

* feat(intake): wire /prompter to the live agent — scope form + SSE chat

Replace the Ollama chat loop on /prompter with the spawned-agent flow.

- IntakeForm: pick scope (project XOR product) + opening message + Start
  before the chat; the agent clones that scope and reads the real code.
- use-prompter rewritten as the live brain (lib/api/prompter-live.ts): Start
  spawns via POST /live/start, then an EventSource on /live/{id}/stream
  streams the agent working — token deltas fill the assistant bubble,
  tool_use/thinking drive a live activity line, a draft event renders the
  existing DraftProposalCard. Messages go via POST /live/{id}/messages.
- Chat UX unchanged (Keep Chatting / Review & Confirm / ConfirmDialog reused);
  reap-on-confirm and reap-on-leave call POST /live/{id}/stop.
- Drop the dead Ollama prompterApi client; trim prompter.ts to shared types.

Frontend gate green (tsc --noEmit, lint, build). The draft event + the
/live/{id}/confirm endpoint are the Phase 4 backend seam.

* feat(intake): confirm draft -> backlog task + agent draft emission

Complete the live intake vertical: the agent proposes a structured draft and
Review & Confirm turns it into a task.

- Draft emission: the prompter prompt instructs the agent to emit a fenced
  roboco-draft JSON block when the spec is ready; the driver parses it into a
  'draft' event over the existing relay -> the panel's DraftProposalCard. The
  panel strips the raw block from the chat bubble.
- Fix a double-text bug: with include_partial_messages the reply arrives as
  both StreamEvent deltas and the final AssistantMessage; the driver now takes
  text from deltas only and the AssistantMessage for thinking/tool_use/draft.
- POST /live/{id}/confirm -> confirm_live_draft, reusing a draft->task core
  extracted from confirm_draft; reaps the session on success.
- Both prompter confirm paths create at BACKLOG, not pending: backlog is the
  holding area a draft waits in until it's reviewed and promoted to pending
  (TaskService.activate). The legacy Ollama confirm was creating at pending,
  skipping that gate — fixed.
- Remove the dead 'context' bootstrap param from the Ollama session-create
  chain (schema + route + method + tests), superseded by the live scope form.
- No suppressions: replace every type:ignore/noqa across the intake surface
  with a real fix (ORM .id -> UUID(str(x)); fakes -> monkeypatch.setattr;
  lazy imports -> pyproject per-file ignore; union-attr -> recipients[0]).

Full make quality green; frontend tsc + lint green.

* build(intake): add the agent-prompter image builder to compose

The orchestrator references roboco-agent-prompter (AGENT_IMAGES + the
_ensure_agent_image dockerfile map) and docker/agent-prompter.Dockerfile
exists, but docker-compose.yml built every other agent image up front and
left this one out — so the image wasn't pre-built for a stack bring-up.

Mirror the other specialized agent-*-image builders: build from
docker/agent-prompter.Dockerfile, tag roboco-agent-prompter, depend on
agent-base-image.

* Created docker-compose.yaml for the NAS

* fix(intake): non-blocking /live/start so spawn never times out

The start POST awaited the whole spawn — workspace clone + first-time image
build + docker run — which blew past the panel's 60s HTTP timeout ('Request
timed out. The server may be busy.') and triggered a duplicate send. Found on
the 2026-06-09 NAS smoke.

- start_intake_session opens the live relay synchronously, then spawns the
  container in the background (_spawn_intake_container_guarded). The route
  returns the session id immediately; the panel opens the SSE stream right away.
- A background spawn failure is pushed onto the relay as an 'error' event and
  closes the session, so the panel shows it instead of hanging.
- spawn_intake_session stays as the synchronous variant for direct callers/tests.
- Panel shows a 'Preparing the agent…' indicator until the first event arrives.

18 intake-spawn tests green; tsc + lint green. E2E re-validates on next smoke.

* fix(intake): propose_draft MCP tool + lock the agent down

Smoke 2026-06-09 exposed two compounding problems: the agent never reliably
emitted the draft (it narrated the spec instead of typing the magic fence), and
it had inherited the CEO's entire Claude Code env — Write/Edit/Bash + Gmail/
Notion/Calendar/Drive MCP — because bypassPermissions ignored the allowlist and
the mounted ~/.claude leaked the host MCP config.

- propose_draft: build_intake_options now registers an in-process SDK MCP tool
  (create_sdk_mcp_server + @tool). The agent calls it to submit the draft; the
  driver turns that ToolUseBlock into a 'draft' event (_is_propose_draft /
  _draft_from_tool_input, tolerant of nested/flat/JSON-string input). The fenced
  roboco-draft block stays as a fallback.
- Lockdown: strict_mcp_config=True + setting_sources=[] (ignore host MCP +
  settings); permission_mode 'dontAsk' + a can_use_tool gate enforcing a hard
  allowlist (Read/Grep/Glob/Task + propose_draft) replaces bypassPermissions.
- Prompt: call propose_draft (not a fence); the draft's downstream chain is
  backlog -> Board (PO + HoM) -> CEO approve -> Main PM, and the agent's job ends
  at the draft (it never routes or hands off).

SDK API verified against the installed claude-agent-sdk. Driver detection unit-
tested; the SDK-construction is validated on the next NAS smoke (incl. that
setting_sources=[] doesn't break the mounted-~/.claude auth).

* fix(intake): panel UX cluster from the smoke (#3/#4/#6/#12)

- #3 message boundaries: a tool call now ends the current text bubble, so the
  agent's words before and after a tool render as separate messages instead of
  one merged wall (the 'two waves merged into one bubble' the CEO saw).
- #4 activity indicator: promoted from tiny grey text to a prominent primary-
  tinted pill so 'watch it work' is actually visible.
- #12 End chat: a header button (any chat state) reaps the agent and resets to
  the form, reusing startAnother (which already stops the session). Backend
  POST /live/{id}/stop already existed.
- #6 log noise: the opening-message delivery retry logs at debug, not error —
  those failures are expected until the container receiver is up.
- Also fix a latent test gap from the #1 commit: the live-route test's fake
  orchestrator now exposes start_intake_session (the route's non-blocking entry).

Frontend tsc + lint green; live-route + prompter_live tests green.

* fix(intake): render markdown in the chat bubbles (#8)

The agent emits rich markdown (### headers, **bold**, tables, lists) but the
bubble rendered raw text, so it was illegible (CEO-flagged on the smoke). Render
assistant content with react-markdown + remark-gfm (GFM tables) in a prose
container. Adds react-markdown + remark-gfm to the panel.

* feat(intake): #14 — two start routes (Board review vs straight to Main PM)

Per the CEO spec, the draft confirm now starts the task at PENDING with an
explicit assignment instead of parking it at backlog:

- route="board" (Board review & Start): assigned to the Product Owner, so the
  orchestrator dispatches the full Board review (PO + Head of Marketing) before
  the Main PM picks it up.
- route="main_pm" (Approve & Start): assigned straight to the Main PM, who
  delegates to the cells (Board review skipped).

create_task_from_draft gains status + assigned_to params (default BACKLOG, so the
legacy confirm_draft is unchanged); confirm_live_draft + the /live/{id}/confirm
request carry the route. Service tests cover both routes.

* feat(intake): #14 draft-card buttons — Board review vs Approve & Start

Three buttons on the draft card now (CEO spec): Keep chatting / Board review &
Start / Approve & Start. The two action buttons confirm directly with their
route — launchTask(route) sends route to POST /live/{id}/confirm, which starts
the task at pending assigned to the Board (PO+HoM) or straight to the Main PM.

Supersedes the ConfirmDialog review step (scope is chosen up front in the form),
so it's removed from the page flow. The ConfirmDialog component + its sub-editors
are now unused — flagged for a follow-up cleanup, left in place to avoid churn.

tsc + lint green.

* fix(intake): keep the live SSE stream bound to its relay session

The orchestrator opened the relay session twice per live chat — once on the
request path (before the start call returns) and again inside the background
container spawn. The SSE stream binds to the session's queue the moment the
panel connects, so the second open swapped in a fresh queue and stranded the
stream: the agent replied normally, but its events went to the new queue while
the panel kept reading the old one, so the chat looked frozen on "Preparing…".

The second open was always redundant (the relay is opened by the caller before
the spawn). Remove it, and make open() idempotent so a live session is never
replaced out from under a stream that is already connected to it.

* fix(intake): draft-card launch buttons silently did nothing

The launch path required a `description` field, but the prompter draft schema
intentionally has none — it sends `objective` + the structured spec and the
backend composes the description (compose_description). `editableDraft.description`
was therefore undefined, so `description.trim()` inside launch validation threw a
TypeError that propagated out of the button's onClick. Clicking "Board review &
Start" / "Approve & Start" did nothing, with no feedback — the wall blocking the
whole confirm → task → reap flow.

- Map a proposed draft's description from `objective` as a fallback.
- Make launch validation null-safe.
- Replace the silent early-return with a toast that names what's missing, so a
  blocked launch is never a dead, feedback-less button again.

* fix(intake): steer the agent to ask inline, not via AskUserQuestion

The intake's job is to ask clarifying questions, so it reached for the
AskUserQuestion tool — which isn't wired to the live chat panel and isn't in its
allowlist. The bare deny left it to stumble ("let me clarify… — no worries, let
me just lay it out") and waste a visible turn.

- Prompt: spell out that it asks by writing in the chat (the human reads every
  message live) and that no question/prompt tool is available to it.
- Gate: give AskUserQuestion a specific deny message that nudges it to ask inline,
  so even a reflex attempt degrades gracefully.

Also refresh the now-stale "what happens after propose_draft" section: the draft
card has three choices (Keep chatting / Board review & Start / Approve & Start)
and produces a pending task — not the old two-button "backlog" description.

* feat(intake): copy buttons on agent messages and the draft card

The CEO asked for a way to save the agent's plan/spec elsewhere "just in case" —
a cheap manual backstop until refresh-durability lands.

- New CopyButton: async Clipboard API when available, plus a legacy
  textarea+execCommand fallback. The fallback is load-bearing — the panel is
  served over plain http on a LAN IP, where navigator.clipboard is absent
  (clipboard needs a secure context), so the modern API alone would never copy.
- Copy button under each assistant message (copies its text).
- Copy button on the draft card (copies the full spec as markdown: title,
  objective, what-this-builds, the-work per cell, notes, success criteria).

* feat(intake): unbuffer logs + log each turn so the container isn't a black box

Debugging the intake smoke was painful for two reasons: (a) the orchestrator
block-buffered stdout, so `docker logs` lagged minutes behind reality, and (b)
the intake container logged only "session opened" then went silent for the whole
conversation (the chat streams to the relay, not stdout).

- Set PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 on the orchestrator and agent-base images so structured
  logs reach `docker logs` in real time instead of in large delayed chunks.
- Log each intake turn: "turn received" (with char count) and "turn streamed"
  (chunk count + whether a draft was emitted), so the container logs show the
  conversation's shape at a glance.

* chore(intake): remove the dead ConfirmDialog draft editor

The three-button draft card (Keep chatting / Board review & Start / Approve &
Start) replaced the old review-modal confirm flow, leaving ConfirmDialog and its
sub-editors (StringListEditor, TheWorkEditor) referenced by nothing but the
barrel export. Remove the three files and the export — typecheck + lint confirm
no remaining references.

* fix(intake): coerce bad draft enums on confirm instead of hard-failing

The intake agent is an LLM and will emit off-enum values — e.g. task_type="feature",
which is not a valid TaskType (code/documentation/research/planning/design/
administrative). `_coerce_draft_enums` called `TaskType(value)` directly, which
raised, and the confirm 400'd with "Draft has invalid or missing required fields:
'feature' is not a valid TaskType". That forced the agent to discover the valid
values and self-correct in-chat — unacceptable: clicking "Approve & Start" must
never blow up on a cosmetic enum guess.

Coerce each enum to a sane default on invalid/missing (task_type→code,
nature→technical, complexity→medium); team falls back to the first valid cell in
the_work, then backend. `_lead_cell_team` now skips invalid cell names too. The
confirm/launch action no longer hard-fails on an enum the model got wrong.

* fix(intake): draft card no longer renders above the user's latest message

attachDraft fell back to "the last assistant message anywhere" when the current
turn had no streamed text yet (propose_draft called first). That last message was
often the PREVIOUS turn's — sitting above the user's "Yes, propose it" — so the
draft card rendered above the user's message. Attach only to the current turn's
streaming message; otherwise append a fresh assistant message so the card always
lands at the bottom of the thread.

* test(intake): guard draft enum coercion + invalid-cell skipping

Regression tests for the confirm-time enum coercion: an off-enum task_type
("feature") / nature / complexity coerce to code/technical/medium instead of
raising, and _lead_cell_team skips invalid cell names. Locks in that a bad enum
guess from the agent can never 400 the launch again.

* fix(intake): stop the agent fumbling through Claude Code meta-tools

In smoke it reflexively probed CC built-ins before reaching propose_draft —
plan mode + ExitPlanMode (it announced a written plan and waited instead of
emitting the draft), ToolSearch, Write — each correctly denied by the lockdown
but stumbly, and it only proposed after explicit CEO nudges.

- Gate: ExitPlanMode now gets a specific deny nudge ("you don't use plan mode;
  call propose_draft"), and the generic deny names the actual toolset instead
  of a bare "not available", so any probe degrades into guidance.
- Prompt: forbid plan mode/ExitPlanMode/ToolSearch explicitly and spell out
  "you do not plan and wait — call propose_draft directly when the spec is
  ready," plus an anti-pattern bullet.

* feat(intake): make the container logs transparent mid-turn

`docker logs` on the intake container was a black box: only turn start/end, while
the agent read the codebase and spawned 20+ subagents invisibly (the conversation
streams to the relay, not stdout), and the benign 3x ~/.claude.json warning was
the only thing visible.

- Driver logs each tool call mid-turn ("Intake tool use" with the tool name) and
  the draft emission, plus a tools count in the turn-streamed summary. Text deltas
  stay unlogged (they'd spam). Now the logs show the turn's real shape.
- Pre-create ~/.claude.json ({}) at container boot so the CLI's "config not found"
  warning (printed 3x, self-healed anyway) stops drowning the real logs.

* fix(intake): render markdown in user messages + scope copy to code blocks

Two display fixes from the smoke:
- User messages collapsed newlines (plain {content} in a div) and rendered no
  markdown — a "1.\n2.\n3." answer showed as one run-on line. Render user AND
  assistant bubbles through a shared GFM markdown body that inherits the bubble's
  text color, so lists / newlines / styling render correctly on both.
- Copy was blanketed on every assistant message; scope it to KEY parts — a copy
  button on fenced code blocks (the draft card keeps its own). Removed the
  per-message button.

* fix(intake): prevent duplicate tasks from a double-click on launch

Clicking a draft launch button twice fired two confirms and created duplicate
tasks. Add a synchronous re-entry guard (a ref — no stale-closure window) at the
top of launchTask so a second click returns immediately, and disable + spin the
draft-card buttons while a launch is in flight so it's visually clear it's working.

* docs(how-to): lead task creation with the Task Assistant flow

Rewrite "1 · It starts with you" to walk the Prompter/Task Assistant path —
scope form, the agent reading the codebase, its grounded analysis, the draft
card, and the created task — then flow into the Board review. Replaces the old
manual task-definition form shots.

Image placeholder: images/prompter_draft_card.png (the 3-button card) is
referenced but not yet captured — TODO comment marks it for the next smoke run.
A second comment flags an optional re-capture of prompter_run_2 after the
markdown-rendering fix.

* fix(intake): restore assistant message text contrast

The markdown refactor dropped `dark:prose-invert` and made text inherit the
bubble's color, but the assistant bubble had no explicit text color — so its text
rendered near-invisible (dark-on-dark on bg-muted). Give the assistant bubble an
explicit text-foreground; the user bubble already carries text-primary-foreground,
and [&_*]:!text-inherit now resolves to a readable color on both.

* fix(intake): coerce draft priority too — confirm 500'd on priority="high"

The enum-coercion fix covered task_type/nature/complexity/team, but priority is a
non-enum int field handled by `int(draft_data.get("priority", 2))`, and the agent
guesses a word ("high") as readily as a number — so int("high") raised ValueError
and the confirm 500'd. Same class of bug, one field missed.

Add _coerce_priority: map words (urgent/high/medium/low → 0/1/2/3), clamp numbers
to 0-3, default to 2 (medium) on anything else. The launch can no longer crash on
any field the LLM guessed. + regression test.

* fix(intake): draft card shows distinct cells, not one badge per work item

the_work has one entry per work item, so a cell with several items rendered its
badge repeatedly ("Board-led across Backend Backend Backend Frontend Frontend
…"). De-dupe to distinct teams so the card reads "Board-led across Backend
Frontend" — and the "Cell:" vs "Board-led across" label keys off distinct count.

* docs(how-to): hero the teaser gif + resolve the Prompter/Task Assistant thread

- Move the 12s teaser gif to the top as the hero — it was buried between the
  "prefer video" link and the first screenshot.
- Name the connection: the Task Assistant IS the Prompter, so section 1 (using
  the tool) and the rest (RoboCo building it) read as one story — you use the
  tool the company built for itself, then watch the build.
- Re-anchor the section 1 → Board transition to follow the Prompter's own
  journey, instead of implying section 1's example task is the one reviewed next.

* Included images for how-to.md

* docs(how-to): align agent count to 20 (matches README + CLAUDE.md)

The how-to said "18 agents" with UX/UI at one dev and no Intake — stale against
the authoritative count. Bump 18→20 (prose + spelled-out eighteen→twenty), give
UX/UI 2 devs, and add the Intake line to the org tree (Intake leads section 1, so
it belongs in the tree). README + CLAUDE.md already say 20.

* ci(release): publish all RoboCo images to GHCR + Docker Hub

The release published only the orchestrator to GHCR. Build and push the full set
the stack needs — agent-base, the 8 agent images, orchestrator, and panel — to
BOTH ghcr.io/rennf93/* and docker.io/renzof93/*, at :<version> and :latest, so
consumers can pull instead of compose-building.

- agent-base builds first (the agent images build FROM roboco-agent-base, a local
  tag), then the rest; push only after every build succeeds.
- Image names mirror the docker-compose `image:` values 1:1.
- Free disk on the runner first (11 images is space-heavy).
- Needs a DOCKERHUB_TOKEN repo secret for the Docker Hub login.
- SECURITY.md updated to reference both registries.

* ci(release): use short SHA as the image tag on manual dispatch

A workflow_dispatch runs against a branch, and the branch name (e.g.
feature/prompter-gold-upgrade) was used verbatim as the image tag — but "/" is
illegal in a Docker tag, so the first build failed instantly with "invalid
reference format". Releases still tag from the release tag; manual dispatch now
always uses the short SHA, which is a valid tag.

Renn F ae65bff883 fix(prompter): use the local Ollama LLM instead of the Anthropic cloud API
The Prompter service called AsyncAnthropic, which needs an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
and 500'd in production ("Anthropic API key not configured"). Align it with the
rest of the system (RAG / HyDE): call the local LLM over the OpenAI-compatible
/chat/completions endpoint (settings.local_llm_*) via httpx — no external key.

- Replace the Anthropic client and _extract_text with a single _create_message
  seam that POSTs to the local LLM and returns the reply text.
- Move the system prompt into an OpenAI-style system message; drop the
  hard-coded Claude model and the per-call model parameter.
- Strip a wrapping markdown code fence before parsing the draft JSON (local
  models often wrap it).
- Repoint the prompter unit and route tests at the new seam (return strings).

Renn F e863880883 Fix the Prompter tests against the current schema and SDK
The Prompter feature's integration tests were never executed by CI — the PR
checks run CodeQL and secret-scanning, not the pytest suite — so they carried
bugs that only surfaced once the feature was integrated and the full quality
gate ran against it:

- The project fixture set a `git_branch` field the model doesn't have (it is
  `default_branch`) and omitted the required `assigned_cell` / `created_by`
  columns, so every confirm-flow test errored at setup.
- The tests patched the Anthropic client's `messages.create` at the class
  level, but the SDK exposes `messages` as a cached_property, so that target
  can't be resolved. Route the call through a single `_create_message` seam on
  PrompterService (behavior-identical) and patch that instead.

Also drop `confirm_draft` below the cyclomatic-complexity threshold by
extracting the override-merge, UUID-field, and enum-coercion helpers
(behavior-preserving; the prompter test suite passes unchanged).

Renn F 5a41ef5c90 Merge master (Prompter #80) into lifecycle-residual-hardening 2026-06-08 05:45:07 +02:00
Renn F 718a16c4f7 Close residual gaps: CEO escalation from blocked, ref repair, reset-script state
Three independent residual hardenings surfaced by the smoke run:

- escalate_to_ceo is now reachable from a blocked task (source widened to
  {awaiting_pm_review, blocked} with a matching status-transition row), so a
  main_pm or board agent has a clean verb to surface a task it cannot resolve
  to the CEO — who can then approve, reject, or cancel it. Regenerated the
  lifecycle artifacts (status-transitions doc + panel JSON) to match.

- WorkspaceService now prunes broken loose refs (.bak debris and any ref whose
  contents are neither an object id nor a symref) before the refresh fetch, so
  a ref left corrupt by an interrupted recovery no longer produces per-operation
  "broken ref" warnings or wedges ref enumeration. Best-effort, file-reads-only.

- The reset script's full-reset Claude-state clear now defaults to the
  replay-state subdirs (projects/, todos/) of the mounted Claude home and
  refuses to clear the home root, so a full reset actually clears conversation
  replay state by default without wiping the host's stored credentials.

Renn F 9bbbd6627f Alert an overseer when the respawn circuit-breaker pauses a wedged agent
The dispatcher's respawn guard already detects an agent repeatedly spawned
on the same task without advancing it, logs a warning, and skips further
spawns. But nothing surfaced that to a human, so a wedged agent could sit
silently with its task stalled.

When the guard trips, send a one-shot high-priority notification to the CEO
(tracked per (agent, task) so it fires once, not on every subsequent skipped
spawn, and resets if the agent later makes progress). Delivery is best-effort
so a notification failure never wedges dispatch.

Adds send_stuck_agent_notification to NotificationService and a coverage test
asserting the alert fires exactly once across multiple over-threshold spawns.

Renn F 5f32417a63 Harden cell-ownership invariant at reassign and dependency revival
A board/advisory role (product owner, head of marketing, auditor) has no
verb to build, document, or complete a cell task. The escalate path already
diverts such a hand-off to the pool; extend the same backstop to the two
remaining write-sites:

- reassign / reassign_active_claim: a refused board/advisory target is
  diverted to the pool for a role-matched claim instead of being planted as
  a non-workable owner. Normal handoff targets (qa, documenter, cell PM) are
  unaffected.
- dependency revival: when a blocked task's last dependency clears, resume
  in place only under a workable owner; re-home a board/advisory-or-absent
  owner on a cell task to the pool so it does not immediately re-deadlock.

All three sites share one audited pool-divert primitive so no direct status
set skips the transition audit.

Also reduce cyclomatic complexity below the project threshold for
unclaim_for_agent, the dependency-revival path, and the docs index source
expansion by extracting helpers (behavior-preserving), and add coverage for
the doc source-expansion paths.

306de1e656 Merge 'master' into 'dogfood feature branch' (smoke test run) (#82)
* Fix: human surface lifecycle hardening (#81)

* fix: harden agent-idle, redis loop, git errors, escalation audit

- i_am_idle no longer 500s when auto-pausing a task whose commits are
  stored as dicts: tolerate dict-or-object commit refs and run the
  synthetic-checkpoint computation inside the swallowing try block.
- The stream event loop no longer logs an idle redis read-timeout as an
  ERROR every cycle; the blocking-read timeout is treated as a normal idle.
- Git command failures surface git's own (secret-scrubbed) stderr in the
  error message instead of a bare 'Command failed', so push/fetch
  rejections are diagnosable; the injected PAT is redacted.
- The escalate-to-pool redirect emits the task.pending audit event,
  closing a status mutation that previously skipped the audit log.

* fix: let privileged operators set task status via an audited override

The task update route silently dropped a 'status' field in the request body,
so a CEO/admin could not transition a task wedged in a state with no valid
in-band move (e.g. a blocked task whose work merged out-of-band) — the panel
returned 200 while nothing changed. Add 'status' to the update schema and
apply it through a new audited 'admin_set_status' that bypasses the strict
transition validator but always records the audit event. The override
requires elevated permissions; ordinary field updates are unchanged.

* fix: stop human chat sessions from expiring between messages

Messaging sessions fell back to a hardcoded 300s idle timeout, shorter than a
normal pause in a human conversation: the sweeper closed the session and the
next message opened a new one, so a person could not hold a continuous chat.
Make the idle timeout configurable (session_idle_timeout_seconds, default
3600) and resolve an unset timeout to it at every session-creation path
instead of the 300s column fallback.

* fix: resolve doubled doc paths and stop the indexer warning flood

The doc-path resolver returned absolute paths verbatim, so a documenter path
that doubled the base segment (/app/docs/docs/...) never resolved on disk and
the docs never indexed into RAG. Reduce an absolute path under the docs base
to a relative one before normalizing, leaving truly-external absolute paths
for the indexer to skip. The indexer now skips non-markdown source files and
logs a missing/non-doc source at debug instead of warning on every pass.

* fix: reject project repo URLs that point at a protected repository

Add a configurable denylist (protected_git_urls) enforced in the project
create and update paths, so a project cannot be registered against a
repository that must not receive agent commits or merges (e.g. the roboco
source repo during a smoke run). Empty by default (no behavior change);
operators set it to sandbox smoke-test projects.

* fix: let an agent release a blocked task back to the pool

A developer (or QA/doc) trapped on a 'blocked' task had no legal forward
move — every verb rejected from that state — so the dispatcher kept
respawning it with nothing to do. Allow 'unclaim' to release a blocked task
the agent owns back to pending (assignment cleared, work session abandoned,
audited), so the cell PM can re-delegate it instead of the agent churning.

* fix: keep blocked-dev churn out and cell tasks out of board hands

- The dispatcher no longer respawns the owner of a blocked task: from blocked
  the owner has no legal move, so respawning only churns; it is revived on
  unblock or released via unclaim.
- Escalation no longer hands a cell (backend/frontend/ux_ui) coordination task
  to a board/advisory role — such an escalation is diverted to the cell pool,
  matching the existing executable-task guard. main_pm targets are unaffected.

* chore: add an opt-in full clean-slate to the reset script

FULL_RESET=1 wipes everything under the roboco data root except the
persistent service stores (ollama/postgres/redis) and clears the persisted
agent Claude session dirs (ROBOCO_CLAUDE_STATE_DIRS), which otherwise replay
across runs. Default off — the existing DB/Redis wipe + workspace git-reset
is unchanged.

- 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

- Alembic migration 024 creating prompter_sessions, prompter_messages, and task_drafts tables with proper foreign keys, indexes, and enum columns
- Three new SQLAlchemy ORM table classes in roboco/db/tables.py
- Pydantic schemas: PrompterSessionCreateRequest, PrompterMessageRequest, PrompterSessionResponse, PrompterMessageResponse, TaskDraftResponse, TaskConfirmRequest
- Four new session-based FastAPI routes: POST /sessions, POST /sessions/{id}/messages, GET /sessions/{id}/draft, POST /sessions/{id}/confirm
- PrompterService with DB-backed session, message, and draft persistence; LLM-driven draft generation; ConfirmOverrides dataclass to stay under PLR0913
- Legacy stateless /chat and /draft endpoints retained for backward compatibility
- Unit tests for schemas (test_schemas_prompter.py), service pure functions and DB logic (test_prompter.py) with mocked LLM calls
- Integration tests for full happy path and legacy endpoints (test_prompter_routes.py)
- All ruff format, ruff check, mypy (changed files), and pytest checks passing

* [529f579a] fix(prompter): correct test assertion for confirmed_at field nesting

The test test_get_draft_generates_from_conversation incorrectly
accessed body['draft']['confirmed_at'] but confirmed_at is a field
on the outer TaskDraftResponse, not on the nested PrompterDraftTask.
Fixed to body['confirmed_at'].

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 2db9741ff6 fix(messaging): reuse a group's live session instead of recreating per open
create_session and create_session_with_access_check closed the group's active
session and opened a new one on every call. A group is meant to have ONE live
session (groups.active_session_id) that all participants post into, so this
churned a single conversation across many sessions — the smoke run showed ~one
session per message, and the CEO could not hold a conversation in a channel.

Both now reuse the live session when one is active and only open a fresh one
when none is (closed via timeout / boundary / merge), matching the existing
get_or_create_active_session contract.

Renn F 2ee610f6cf feat(git): resolve a coordination root's repo from its product
Branch->project resolution (_project_slug_for_branch, _workspace_for_branch)
read task.project_id, which is null for a coordination root — so root-level
git ops (the root->master PR, the CEO merge) could not resolve a workspace.
A new _project_for_task falls through to the product's first distinct repo
(monorepo => the single repo) when project_id is null. Purely additive: a
task with a project_id resolves exactly as before; only the previously-
unresolvable root case changes.

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.

Renn F 3cfac2e503 feat(git): forbid the agent merge path from merging into master
pr_merge (the gateway path a cell PM uses to merge a leaf/cell PR up the
hierarchy) accepted any target, including a repo's default branch — the
hole that let cell completion land on master. It now refuses any target
equal to the project's default branch with a CEO_ONLY error: a root→master
PR is merged solely by the CEO via approve-&-merge (merge_pr_for_task,
already CEO-gated from awaiting_ceo_approval). Agents open the master PR
and escalate; they never merge it.

Belt-and-suspenders to the integration-branch routing: even if a target
ever resolved to master, this blocks the merge at the GitHub-API boundary.

6cce556536 feat(git): coordination root cuts a Main-PM integration branch per repo (#58)
The coordination/fan-out root carries a product (cell->repo map) but no
project of its own, and was forced branchless — so a cell's parent-branch
resolution fell back to the project default (master), and cell completion
merged each cell straight to master, bypassing the Main-PM integration
point and the CEO merge gate.

Per the locked branch model (master <- feature/main_pm/{root} <- cell <-
dev), the root is now the Main-PM integration point: on claim it cuts
feature/main_pm/{root} off master in EACH distinct repo the product spans
(monorepo => 1, multi-repo => N). Cells then branch off it via the existing
ancestor-branch resolution, so cell work never targets master.

- ProductService.distinct_project_ids: enumerate the repos a product spans
- TaskService._create_branch_in_project: project-parameterized branch
  creation split out of _auto_create_branch
- TaskService._ensure_coordination_root_branches: cut the integration
  branch in each repo; graceful empty when the product has no cell map yet
- _ensure_branch_for_task routes a product-backed root here, not to no-op

evidence is read-only, but the cross-agent ownership gate blocked a caller from

A plain checkout -b then fails 'already exists' (exit 128), and the resulting

dispatcher refuses (state=in_progress but branch_name unset) -> a spawn-refused

they are freshly claimed (the claim gate then holds them cleanly while the
dependency is unmet). Branched tasks still resume in_progress. Artifacts

Renn F b0a596ecac fix(deps): gate the pre-assigned dev path on unmet dependencies
A dev subtask is always pre-assigned (assigned_to=<dev>), so it never
flows through the unassigned claim pool's dependency filter
(list_pending(filter_by_dependencies=True)). Every path that acts on a
pre-assigned pending dev subtask previously ignored dependency_ids: the
orchestrator spawned the dev container, give_me_work offered the task,
and the claim verb accepted it — letting a frontend dev code ahead of an
unfinished UX/UI design.

Hold the pre-assigned dev at each path it actually arrives by, until
every dependency reaches a terminal state:

- orchestrator _validate_task_for_spawn now consults dependency_ids via
  _check_dependencies_terminal and skips the spawn while any dependency
  is non-terminal (fail-closed on an unreadable dependency);
- TaskService.list_pending_for_agent excludes a pre-assigned task with
  unmet dependencies so give_me_work does not offer it;
- the Choreographer claim guard set rejects the claim with a clear
  remediate via a new unmet_dependency_guard.

Add TaskService.unmet_dependency_ids as the single source of truth for
"which dependency IDs are not yet terminal" and route the existing
inherit_unmet_dependencies through it.

The generated session briefing told every role with i_will_work_on that

i_will_work_on gate is journal:note_at_claim, satisfied by
has_note_for_task, which queries JournalEntryType.GENERAL. Only
scope='note' maps to GENERAL; scope='decision' maps to DECISION_LOG and
is the PM's i_will_plan gate. Emit scope='note' on the dev-claim branch
and keep scope='decision' on the i_will_plan branch.

The existing gate test mocks both board reviewers as already-idle, so it never
exercises the spawn -> active -> exit -> idle -> next-tick transition — the
boundary the gate actually guards. Add a real-DB integration test that seeds a
board/coordination task plus the agents the handoff resolves against, dispatches
both reviewers through the real handler (the spawn stub leaves each ACTIVE in
_instances exactly as a real container spawn does), asserts board_review_complete
stays False while either reviewer is active, then marks both idle and runs the
next tick to assert the flag flips True and the formal CEO approval notification
is persisted.

Renn F 45836b4d6e fix(gateway): docs/optimal RBAC denials return Envelope with remediate
The docs and knowledge-base HTTP routes enforced authorization inline and
raised raw HTTPException(403) with no recovery hint, so agents received
remediate=null and an un-actionable error, and the optimal route held the
RBAC decision itself (a layer-separation violation).

Move the knowledge-base authorization decision into a gateway module
(services/gateway/kb_authz) that returns an Envelope.not_authorized with a
non-null remediate naming the roles allowed to perform the action. The docs
RBAC already lives in DocsService; render its UnauthorizedError through the
same gateway helper. Both route groups now return the Envelope wire-dict at
top level (HTTP 403) instead of a bare detail string, keeping the routes
thin (HTTP translation only). Permitted callers are unaffected.

developer became dispatchable and coded ahead of the design. Propagate

Renn F 3d04943bf3 feat(orchestrator): embed verb->MCP-server map + key preconditions in agent briefing
Agents fumble their first move — raw bash/http/shell-git, calling
evidence on roboco-flow when it lives on roboco-do, omitting the nature
argument on delegate, or skipping the required journal note before
claiming. The role docs cover this but agents cannot read them at spawn.

Generate a concise, role-accurate block from the role's actual manifest
(get_role_config): a verb->server map (roboco-flow / roboco-do /
roboco-git-readonly / roboco-optimal / roboco-docs) plus key
preconditions (note(scope='decision') before i_will_work_on / i_will_plan;
delegate requires nature; evidence is on roboco-do; never use raw
bash/http/shell-git). Embed it into the written session briefing.

Renn F b18bdcd41a fix(optimal): serialize singleton init, normalize kb_search index_types, surface mentor errors
The OptimalService singleton published the instance before initialize()
finished, so a concurrent caller could observe _initialized=False and hit
"OptimalService not initialized" during RAG indexing. Build the instance,
initialize it, then publish under a lazily-bound asyncio lock so all callers
share a fully-initialized singleton.

roboco_kb_search forwarded the legacy alias index_types=['docs'], which is
not a valid IndexType value (the enum value is 'documentation'), producing a
400 at the route. Normalize the alias in the client before the request is
sent and fix the misleading tool docstring.

The mentor route let exceptions from mentor.ask escape as a bare 500 that
masked the real cause. Catch, log the true upstream error with stack, and
surface it in the response detail so failures are diagnosable.

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 61e80495c3 fix(workspace): scope _ensure_agent_owned walk to .git subtree only
Walking the entire workspace (incl node_modules) to chown+chmod every
entry cost 2.7-15.5s per git op. The agent only needs write ownership on
.git/ during git ops; working-tree files don't need chowning. Restrict
the walk to .git, and no-op when .git is absent.

Renn F e1c3f926f2 fix(orchestrator): a cell code task never routes to board / main_pm by keyword
A code task whose title/description hit a board keyword (launch, release,
architecture, security) was classified to 'board' — so a cell dev code task
got 'reviewed' by the Product Owner + Head of Marketing — and a high-complexity
cell code task was escalated to 'main_pm', which is how a PM ended up owning
(and deadlocking) a dev code task. A code task that belongs to a cell
(backend/frontend/ux_ui) is implementation work: route it WITHIN the cell
(cell_pm for high/pm-keyword, else dev), never to board/main_pm. The strategic
board/cross-cell heuristics now apply only to team-less top-level tasks.

Renn F 5f61ea7b82 test: fix stale activate-guard test + time-fragile grace-window test
- The activate test asserted the old 'no project set' guard; activate now
  needs a project OR a product (coordination tasks carry only a product), so
  it raises only when BOTH are absent. Renamed, set product_id=None, and match
  the current 'no project or product' message.
- The grace-window test used a module-load _FRESH timestamp, but the grace
  check uses wall-clock now(), so _FRESH aged out of the window during a long
  full-suite run and flaked. Compute 'fresh' at test time.

Renn F 93c46d86e7 fix(logging): host-side log fallback writes to ./data/logs, not a duplicate ./logs
_resolve_log_dir fell back to ./logs (relative to CWD) whenever /data was
absent — i.e. every host-side run (pytest, scripts, the dev orchestrator).
The container writes to /data/logs, whose host side is the compose mount
${ROBOCO_DATA_DIR:-./data}/logs, so ./logs and ./data/logs were two
different directories. Point the host-side fallback at that same
${ROBOCO_DATA_DIR:-./data}/logs, eliminating the duplicate ./logs at the
repo root.

Renn F 4c59bfa840 fix(prompt): Main PM delegate description is a goal+constraints brief, not a solution-dump
delegate already requires substantive acceptance_criteria (TASK_AT_CREATE
completeness), so the defect was not missing criteria — it was the Main PM
writing the cell-PM subtask description as prescriptive prose that dictates
the cell's solution (e.g. a full UX layout for a design task), doing the
cell's job and wasting the expertise it delegated to. The role doc now tells
the Main PM the description is a brief: state the goal + the constraints to
fit, leave the HOW to the cell, and for design tasks give the problem, not a
mockup.

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.

Renn F ceb4eec6ca feat(board): gate CEO Approve & Start on board-review completion
A board/coordination task stays pending throughout board review — that
pending state is what hands it to Main PM on approval — so the CEO's
Approve & Start button was live from the instant the task was created,
before the Product Owner and Head of Marketing had reviewed anything.
That let the CEO approve before the board finished.

Persist a board_review_complete flag the orchestrator sets once BOTH
board reviewers are done, and gate the button on it (the task stays
pending). The same handoff emits the formal CEO notification, so the
CEO gets an actionable signal instead of buried channel chatter.

- alembic 021: add tasks.board_review_complete (default false)
- TaskService.mark_board_review_complete: set the flag without leaving pending
- orchestrator: flag the task + notify CEO once both reviewers go idle
- panel: Approve & Start requires board_review_complete
