* fix(tg): cockpit data correctness — real GLM pricing, display timezone, agent activity tracking
Three root causes behind the Mini App/bot showing wrong numbers:
Pricing: glm-5.2 gets a grounded per-token rate (z.ai published pricing,
$1.40/$4.40/$0.26 per 1M, source+date in the table comment) so a GLM
fleet day stops reporting $0.00 for half a million tokens; ungrounded
Ollama-Cloud models render "subscription (untracked)" instead of a bare
zero (is_ollama_cloud_model, consumed directly by the cockpit). Side
effect, intended and documented: honestly-priced GLM now trips the
downgrade-only comparator for new qa/documenter complexity pins.
Display timezone: the cockpit bucketed days in UTC for a GMT+2 operator.
New pure foundation module display_time (resolve_zone/local_date/
trailing_dates/day_bounds_utc, DST-correct with tests for the 23h/25h
days) + ROBOCO_DISPLAY_TIMEZONE (IANA-validated, default UTC); the
cockpit's spend/velocity series bucket raw session/completion rows by
the display zone. The UTC-keyed rollup table and the main dashboard are
deliberately untouched.
Agent activity: AgentTable.status was never set to ACTIVE and
current_task_id was never written anywhere — "active: 0, working: []"
was structurally permanent. Every claim path now marks the claimant
ACTIVE with rollback symmetry (_finalize_claim for dev/PM claims,
_qa_or_doc_claim for QA/doc/PR-gate claims, pr_review_claim for external
review) and every release path clears it (pass/fail QA, pr_pass/pr_fail,
complete_review, advance-to-PM-review, reaper unclaim, voluntary
unclaim, reassign retarget, pool divert, admin transitions, unblock
restore-to-in-progress). The bot's /status shares the cockpit's fleet
derivation so the two surfaces can't disagree. Known ceiling, commented:
one current_task_id column shows a multi-root coordinator PM's most
recent claim only.
Drill: sonnet develop -> sonnet adversarial (refuted the original
chokepoint coverage claim; QA/doc/reviewer paths were unwired) ->
correction round (wired them all + restored a dropped assertion, deleted
a dead helper and the dead subscription_billed field) -> review.
* fix(db): post_update on AgentTable.current_task breaks the flush cycle
agents.current_task_id and tasks.assigned_to reference each other, so a
flush touching both rows — every claim now marks its agent ACTIVE — is
an instance-level circular dependency SQLAlchemy cannot topologically
sort. The e2e smoke's full verb paths (12 tests) hit it; the unit and
integration suites never flush both dirty rows with relationships
loaded. post_update emits the FK as a second UPDATE, the canonical fix
for mutually-referencing rows.
* fix(budgets): enforce only explicitly-set budgets — no per-TaskType defaults
The per-TaskType default cap table blocked an unbudgeted coordination
root one opus planning turn in ($1.50 PLANNING default vs. real
coordination spend) — a false positive by design the moment the fleet
runs a priced model. Budgets are now explicit-input only:
effective_task_budget_usd returns None for an unset budget_usd, the
budget sweep skips enforcement (and never prices spend) on None, and
the unblock re-check passes on None so clearing the budget field is
itself a valid resolution. The project monthly cap stays as the
explicit-input fleet-wide backstop. Panel copy tells the truth
("No cap" placeholder; empty = uncapped), and the TaskType default
table plus its resolver are deleted.

The history-digest pipeline (PR #297) injected past-task data but nothing
told the intake agent what to do with it: prompter.md now carries an
explicit don't-re-propose section (cite duplicates by short id, reference
precedent in notes, let history inform depends_on sequencing), and
list_recent_for_project excludes cancelled tasks so dead work can't pose
as precedent.

* fix(ci): fleet-branch push triggers close the absent-check gap; dispatcher claim prefilter
PROVEN with API receipts: when the PM squash-merges a subtask PR into a
branch that is itself another PR's head (GitService.merge_pull_request →
GitHub's Merge API), the pull_request synchronize webhook fires
unreliably (1 of 3 in the live sample) while plain push events fired
100% — so PR heads sat with ABSENT required checks that three review
rounds mistook for green. CI, CodeQL, e2e-smoke, and panel-ci now also
trigger on push to the fleet's branch types, deduped by a concurrency
group keyed on head_ref||ref_name so a branch that is also a PR head
never double-runs.
Dispatcher churn: _route_unassigned_pm_task consults the claim guards'
own predicate (TaskService.is_pending_claim_blocked, a public wrapper —
no duplicated SQL) before routing, so dependency- or sequence-held
tasks skip the tick with zero HTTP claim round-trips; fails open so a
DB hiccup degrades to the old behavior.

* feat(tasks): enforce sibling sequence order at the claim chokepoint
A task with a parent and effective sequence N (COALESCE(sequence, 0))
can no longer be claimed while any sibling with a strictly lower
effective sequence is non-terminal — assignee-blind, independent of and
stricter than dependency_ids, enforced in _validate_claim_preconditions
so both claim paths (gateway verbs and the dispatcher's raw REST claim)
cross it. Ties run parallel; cancelled siblings never block; sequence 0
and parentless tasks are unaffected. Live failure this guards: a PM
delegated revision subtasks sequenced 0..3 with no dependency edges and
seq 2 started alongside seq 0 — sequence was advisory-only.
set_sequence's contract updated accordingly. New e2e smoke case drives
the refusal and the post-completion claim through the real gateway.
* chore(scripts): skip .uv-cache and .claude in the prose scanner
Repo-local tool dirs (private uv cache, agent worktrees) carry vendored
and generated markdown that tripped make reflow-check.
* fix(tasks): wave-derived delegation sequences + claim-gate hardening
Three fixes from the adversarial review of the sequence claim gate:
Delegation no longer stamps a raw per-sibling ordinal (deterministic
merge-order bookkeeping) as sequence — under the strict gate that
serialized ALL delegated work, including fully independent cross-dev and
cross-cell siblings. Sequences are now wave-derived post-wiring
(stamp_wave_sequence: 1 + max same-parent dependency sequence, 0 when
independent), so independent siblings tie and run parallel while
colliding/ordered work ascends. The cross-cell UX wiring restamps
instead of writing relative ux+1 values (a relative write could invert
a collision-derived stamp), and the dispatch merge/lane barriers gain a
created_at tiebreak for wave-tied siblings so shared-branch merge order
stays deterministic. PM-authored sequences are never rewritten.
The guard now also fires on reclaims from needs_revision (a lower-
sequence sibling delegated after the first claim was invisible), and
tasks.parent_task_id gains an index (migration 069) — the guard's
sibling probe ran as a Seq Scan on the hottest verb.

The Main PM claimed every MegaTask wave at once, ignoring the collision-ordered
dependencies. The sequencing data was correct (analyzer wired proper waves), but
enforcement was only half-wired: the unmet-dependency guard lives on the gateway
claim verbs (i_will_plan -> _run_claim_guards), while the orchestrator dispatches
coordination roots itself — _dispatch_pm_work fetches pending with no dependency
filter and _claim_task_for_agent system-claims via the raw POST /tasks/{id}/claim
route -> TaskService.claim, which had no dependency check. So the orchestrator
claimed every pending root-subtask for the Main PM regardless of wave.
Enforce the sequence at the claim chokepoint: _validate_claim_preconditions now
refuses to claim a PENDING task while any depends_on task is non-terminal
(extracted into _claim_blocked_by_dependencies for the complexity budget). This
guardrails every claim path — the gateway verbs (redundant) and the orchestrator
raw dispatch claim (the hole). Scoped to a PENDING start-of-work claim so a
mid-lifecycle QA/doc claim is unaffected; dependencies are monotonic so each wave
claims normally once the prior one completes.
Adds test_claim_pending_with_unmet_dependency_returns_none (blocked with an
unfinished dependency; claimable once it completes).

* fix(video): reclaim outDir on createRenderJob throw + hide empty 4th highlight
Final whole-branch review (Opus) triaged two FIX items from the SDD nits
ledger; the rest ship as-is.
- render.js: a synchronous throw from createRenderJob (post-mkdtemp, not
awaited) left an empty outDir on disk — the outer catch only reclaimed
extractDir. Reclaim outDir too when it exists, and correct the stale
comment that claimed the out dir was never created.
- {vertical,square}.html: the 4th highlights <li> lived in the DOM hidden
only by JS, so a no-JS / failed-script render would show an empty bullet.
Start it style="display:none" and reveal on populate, so an unscripted
render shows nothing instead.
Vitest smoke (release-announcement.test.js) 4/4 green; render.js syntax
checked. Python suite untouched by this fix (JS/HTML only).
* fix(video): type _override_db yield as AsyncSession | None
T7 widened _build_app's db_session param to AsyncSession | None (to drop the
4x # type: ignore[arg-type] on the DB-independent _build_app(None, ...) calls)
but left the inner _override_db fixture typed AsyncIterator[AsyncSession] —
so 'yield db_session' yielded AsyncSession | None into a declared AsyncSession,
and mypy failed at test_video_routes.py:177 ('Incompatible types in yield').
The DB-independent media tests pass db_session=None deliberately: their route
uses a monkeypatched task service and never awaits the session, so yielding
None is safe at runtime. Type the override's yield as AsyncSession | None to
match — no cast, no # type: ignore, no assert, runtime behavior unchanged.
The 3 media tests (3 passed) and the 19 db-gated tests (skipped locally) hold.
* chore(gate): skip .superpowers scratch in markdown prose gate
reflow_md.py walks the filesystem via rglob('*.md') and skips tooling dirs
(.venv, .mypy_cache, .pytest_cache, ...) but not .superpowers/ — the
superpowers SDD workflow's scratch dir (briefs, reports, progress ledger,
all gitignored). A dev running SDD locally would hit a false markdown-prose
gate failure on those transient files. Add .superpowers to SKIP_DIRS,
consistent with the existing tooling-scratch exclusions.
* fix(video): validate composition_id to close path traversal (CodeQL)
compositionId flowed unvalidated from the POST body into path.join
under extractDir/motion/compositions/, so a '../..'-style value could
escape the composition dir (CodeQL: Uncontrolled data used in path
expression). Validate at the trust boundary in server.js
(/^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$/) and add a path.resolve + startsWith containment
check in render.js so it stays safe regardless of caller.
* fix(mcp): send X-Agent-Token + X-Agent-Team from flow/do servers
flow_server._build_headers and do_server._build_headers constructed
only X-Agent-ID/Role/Correlation-ID, omitting X-Agent-Token and
X-Agent-Team (unlike ApiClient._get_agent_headers used by the other
MCP servers). Latent since the gateway refactor — surfaced when
ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED=true was armed on the NAS, 401-ing every
flow/do verb with 'Missing X-Agent-Token header'. Add both headers
(mirroring ApiClient) so the HMAC gate passes. Tests assert the
headers are now injected.
* [video-engine] Per-project video_engine_enabled opt-in toggle
Mirrors ci_watch_enabled (migration 048): the global
ROBOCO_VIDEO_ENGINE_ENABLED flag arms the subsystem; the new
projects.video_engine_enabled column (migration 063) opts a repo into
authoring against its motion/ dir. VideoEngine._opted_in_project no-ops
open_video_task at the single chokepoint covering all three trigger
paths (on-release, on-spotlight, CEO on-demand) until the operator
flips it in the panel edit-project dialog. Existing projects stay
opted out (server_default=false).
* fix(auth): send X-Agent-Token + X-Agent-Team from all agent->API call sites
The prior fix (6ed4e139) covered the flow/do MCP servers but missed four
other agent->orchestrator call sites that built the header dict by hand
and omitted X-Agent-Token and/or X-Agent-Team. With ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED
armed on the NAS, every one 401s:
- agent_sdk/server.py: the session-end post-mortem flush
(/api/journals/me/entries), A2A persistence + offline fallback
(/api/a2a/*), and the stopped-without-transition auto-substitute
(/api/tasks/auto-substitute) — all sent only X-Agent-ID/Role, so each
401'd 'Missing X-Agent-Token'. Add a shared _agent_headers() helper
(mirroring flow_server._build_headers) and route all four through it.
- agent_sdk/secretary_driver.py: _headers() sent the token but not the
team, so the HMAC gate 401'd with signature mismatch (secretary is
board-team; token signed with team='board', verified with team='').
Add the team header.
- mcp/git_readonly.py: the read-only git MCP sent only X-Agent-ID/Role
— no token, no team — so /api/git/* 401'd once auth was armed. Convert
the static _HEADERS to a _headers() helper with team + token.
- runtime/orchestrator.py: the cell-PM auto-submit self-API call acted
as a PM with a hand-built {X-Agent-ID, X-Agent-Role} dict — no token,
no team — 401ing under auth-required. Add _agent_api_headers(uuid,
role) mirroring _system_api_headers, and use it.
Tests: _agent_headers round-trip (token + team, team-omitted when None),
_agent_api_headers carries a signed PM token + team.
* [auth] Omit UNSIGNED self-call token in dev mode + video-engine test mypy fix
_agent_api_headers sent the UNSIGNED sentinel when ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_SECRET
was unset, but the dev-mode middleware rejects a presented-but-unverifiable
token with 401 signature mismatch (while accepting a missing one). The
cell-PM auto-submit self-call 401'd in every dev run, regressing
test_auto_submit_cuts_the_pm_turn. Attach the token only when a secret is
set. Also fix the FromClause.update mypy error in the per-project
video-engine opt-out test (ORM row load + flush).
* [auth] Omit UNSIGNED agent token at every agent->API call site
The orchestrator injects ROBOCO_AGENT_TOKEN=UNSIGNED when the HMAC secret
is unset at spawn. The API middleware rejects a presented-but-unverifiable
token with 401 'signature mismatch' even in dev mode (auth not required),
so forwarding UNSIGNED turned every flow/do/SDK/secretary/git verb into a
401 — the live pr_reviewer/i_am_idle signature-mismatch loop. Omit the
header when the token is the UNSIGNED sentinel at all five agent-side
header builders; dev accepts a missing token, prod 401s with 'Missing
X-Agent-Token' (the clear respawn-with-secret signal). Add a structlog
diagnostic on the middleware reject path so the next mismatch logs the
exact (id, role, team, token_unsigned, auth_required) inputs.
* [auth] Self-heal stale agent tokens at orchestrator startup
A token is signed once at spawn. If ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_SECRET drifts
afterwards (a .env change, a compose recreate that reloads the
orchestrator's env without recreating agent containers, an image
redeploy), the surviving agent keeps sending its old token and the
middleware 401s every verb with 'signature mismatch'. The container
stays alive heartbeating, so the reaper never reclaims it and no fresh
agent spawns: the fleet stalls.
_heal_stale_agent_tokens runs at startup (before _readopt_running_agents)
and kills each running agent container whose baked-in token no longer
verifies against the current secret, so normal dispatch re-spawns it
with a freshly signed token. Inert when the secret is unset (dev):
verify fails for every token without a secret, so the heal would kill
the whole fleet without this gate. Best-effort: a probe failure leaves
the container alone (the reaper still covers it).
* [auth] Sign agent token over the UUID, not the slug (pr_reviewer 401 root cause)
The token was signed over the agent slug (_append_agent_auth_env) while the
MCP servers send X-Agent-ID as the agent UUID (_generate_mcp_config, since
453a7ae2 — gateway v1 parses X-Agent-ID as Annotated[UUID]). The middleware
verified HMAC(uuid:role:team) against a slug-signed token → 'signature
mismatch', token_unsigned=false. Latent for 2 months until 6ed4e139/53391f22
made the MCP servers forward the token.
The c0328971 startup heal missed it: docker exec printenv reads the
container-level ROBOCO_AGENT_ID (the slug), so the heal verified the
slug-signed token against the slug → matched → didn't kill the stale
container, which kept 401ing (its MCP server sends the UUID).
Fix: sign the token over the UUID, set the container ROBOCO_AGENT_ID to the
UUID too (so the SDK server — which inherits container env, not the MCP
manifest env — sends UUID consistently), and resolve the container-env id to
its UUID in _heal_stale_agent_tokens so pre-fix stale containers are evicted
on next restart. Regression test: test_heal_kills_slug_env_container_with_slug_signed_token.

* [respawn] Tripped breaker self-heals after a cooldown
A DB-durable PM-respawn counter (migration 051 / e2f7097a) wedges forever
once tripped: the only reset was a task status change, which can't happen
while the breaker blocks the spawn. So a deploy that fixes the underlying
loop (auth/prompt/schema) couldn't clear the wedge without manual DELETE
surgery on respawn_tracker — the 2026-07-06 pr-reviewer-1 loop, where the
auth fix cleared the 401 but count=63 survived restart and kept skipping
the dispatcher spawn for an external-PR task.
Freeze last_check at the trip tick and, after pm_respawn_trip_cooldown_seconds
(default 300), let ONE spawn through. A still-wedged task re-trips after the
threshold (bounded re-burn ~3 spawns per window); a fixed one advances and
the status-change path fully resets. Restore re-stamps last_check to now, so
a freshly restored row still trips immediately — durability preserved, which
is why the migration-051 persistence tests still pass.

nginx is the single entry point; request.client.host is the nginx peer IP,
collapsing every external client into one limiter bucket (self-DoS amp).
Read the downstream client IP from X-Forwarded-For (first hop) / X-Real-IP,

* [scan] nits: describe login_max_attempts + replace cast with assert in get_current_agent_slug
login_max_attempts was the only bare cloud-auth field; add a Field

* [scan] move active_claimant_id clear into pass_qa/fail_qa + admin_set_status (M19 follow-on)
Phase 2 opus whole-branch review found the M19 follow-on clear lived in
the gateway wrappers (qa_pass/qa_fail) not the transition methods
(pass_qa/fail_qa) themselves. The direct REST routes POST /pass-qa and
POST /fail-qa call the transitions directly, bypassing the wrappers and
leaving the QA's stale active_claimant_id set in AWAITING_DOCUMENTATION
/ NEEDS_REVISION — the competing-claimant guard then rejects the next
legitimate documenter/QA claim. admin_set_status had the same gap for a
non-blocked override into a review/queue state (IN_PROGRESS->AWAITING_QA
left the dev's id, blocking qa_claim).
Root-cause fix: move the clear INTO pass_qa and fail_qa (mirroring
submit_for_qa), add a clear in admin_set_status when
new_status in _REVIEW_QUEUE_STATES and from_status != BLOCKED, and drop
the now-redundant clears + flushes from the qa_pass/qa_fail wrappers.
Every caller is covered; the wrappers keep their actor-mismatch warnings.
Covering tests: test_pass_qa_clears_active_claimant_for_doc_claim
(asserts a subsequent doc_claim succeeds), test_fail_qa_clears_active_claimant,
test_admin_set_status_into_review_queue_clears_active_claimant,
test_admin_set_status_non_review_queue_keeps_active_claimant. Updated
the two wrapper unit tests that asserted the wrapper clears (now the
transition's job).
* [C3] unindex_journal_entry + call from delete_entry
JournalService.delete_entry deleted the DB row but never de-indexed the
RAG chunks, so deleted/private journal content bled forever into RAG
answers and claim-time briefings. Add OptimalService.unindex_journal_entry
mirroring unindex_playbook (vector-store delete_by_source + tracking-row
delete via get_db_context, both idempotent + best-effort), and call it
from delete_entry after the row commit inside a try/except so a de-index
failure never errors the delete.
* [M25] learning_id hashes full content to avoid collision
The memory distiller emits lessons with a fixed 'Problem: …' opening
shape, so two distinct lessons whose first 100 chars match collided on
learning_id = f"lrn-{md5(content[:100])[:12]}". replace_on_reingest then
routed both to the same source URI and the second ingest's replace_chunks
DELETE wiped the first lesson's chunks — silent data loss.
Hash the full content (widening the hex slice 12→16) so distinct bodies
get distinct ids and each retains its chunks.
* [H13] reject non-internal local_llm_base_url at config load
* [M28] bulk-insert learning broadcast instead of N+1
* [M27] mark_read/mark_all_read stamp only the unread rows seen at call time
mark_read and mark_all_read used to zero the unread counter FIRST, then run
a bulk UPDATE … WHERE read_at IS NULL that stamped every inbound unread row.
A send_chat_message committing between the counter-zero and the UPDATE
inserted a new read_at NULL row that the UPDATE then stamped as read — the
new message was silently consumed while the counter stayed 0.
Mirrors get_unread_messages (same file): SELECT the unread message IDs at
call time, UPDATE exactly those IDs, then recompute the unread counter from
the DB via the existing _reset_unread_counter helper. A message arriving
mid-call is not in the selected ID set, so the UPDATE skips it and the
recomputed counter keeps it unread.

* [M24] _reindex_journal_entry honors is_private (C1 review fix)
Dead-letter replay mirrors the original journal._schedule_rag_index path:
a private entry is never indexed into the shared JOURNALS corpus, and a
private learning is still recorded into LEARNINGS as non-shareable.
Previously the replay always called index_journal_entry and skipped
record_learning for private learnings, leaking private content on replay
and dropping the legitimate non-shared learning. Three regression tests.
* [H11] clone via git -c http.extraheader, not URL-embedded PAT

Sibling site to the clone fix: the conventions read-clone refresh ran
'git fetch --tags <https://TOKEN@host> <branch>', exposing the PAT in the
fetch argv on the orchestrator host. Mirrors the clone site's per-call

* [H8] fix rebase test mocks for clean-tree gate
H8 inserted a 'git status --porcelain' dirty-tree gate at the top of
rebase_onto_base (mirroring pull). The 3 rebase control-flow tests mocked
_run_git with a side_effect list matching the OLD call sequence (no
leading status call), so every call shifted by one and the assertions
missed. Prepend a clean-status result to each list so the gate passes
and the fetch/checkout/reset/rebase/diff/abort/push sequence aligns.
Verified: 16 passed (was 3 failed/13 passed post-H8, 16 passed pre-H8).

pr_target and _workspace_for_branch still documented the actor →

_resolve_workspace_agent_id. Update both to the post-L1 actor →
assigned_to → None resolver (project.workspace_path as the final
fallback) so a future reader doesn't rely on a fallback that no
longer exists.
* [M37] merge_pr locks the work_session row FOR UPDATE
* [phase4] e2e smoke + CHANGELOG for 0.19.0
* [phase4] fix M37 test flake + document H8 skip
The opus whole-branch review flagged the M37 concurrency tests as
~50% flaky: both asserted caller A wins the FOR UPDATE race, but
which caller wins the lock is non-deterministic. When B won, the
'assert a_row.merged_by == a_merger' branch flipped false even
though the production code (M37) was correct — exactly one merger
recorded, audit trail intact. Assert the invariant instead: both
rows COMPLETED, both report the same merged_by, value in
{a_merger, b_merger}. Applied to both the unit test and the e2e
twin. Also documents the H8 e2e skip in the module docstring (the
report claimed it was documented there but it wasn't) and drops
the internal 'Phase 4' label from the docstring header in favor of
the public '0.19.0' version anchor.

* [H15] video-post-queue caption derived per render (mirror x-post-queue)
* [C4-fix] panel WS: discriminating long-tail tests + drop dead freeze block + evict dead shared conn on manual disconnect
Finding 1 (Critical, websocket.test.ts): the two long-tail-retry tests fired onopen between close cycles, which reset reconnectAttempts to 0 each cycle, so they passed under the pre-fix 3-attempt gate. Rewrote both to NEVER fire onopen between closes, so attempts accumulates: test 1 asserts state stays 'reconnecting' past attempt 3 (old gate would flip 'disconnected' terminal); test 2 asserts a new socket is constructed within 30000ms at attempt 7 where uncapped 5000*1.5^7 ~= 85s (old uncapped code would leave the timer unexpired). Verified both FAIL on a reverted old-shape connection.ts and PASS on the fixed code.
Finding 2 (Important, connection.ts): the 'if (raw >= cap) this.reconnectAttempts = exp' block was a no-op (exp was just read from the same field) and the unconditional increment afterwards grew the counter regardless. Deleted the dead block; kept the Math.min cap on the delay. Replaced the misleading ponytail comment with an accurate one: delay is capped, counter grows unbounded but delay is bounded.
Finding 3 (Important, use-websocket.ts): manual disconnect() tore down the shared conn for all subscribers but left the dead (manualClose=true, never reconnects) entry in _sharedSockets, so a later mount hit the reuse branch, attached a subscriber, replayed 'disconnected', and never called connect(). Added a urlRef and _sharedSockets.delete(url) in the manual disconnect callback so a later mount reopens a fresh conn.

* feat(a2a): deliver latest incoming message preview into the claim briefing
list_unread_a2a now carries last_message_preview (the latest message from the
OTHER agent, never the agent's own reply), fetched via a correlated subquery in
the same query — no N+1 on the per-verb briefing path.
* feat(a2a): read_a2a verb delivers unread message bodies to the agent
A2AService.get_unread_messages returns the caller's unread INCOMING messages
(never its own sends), marking exactly those rows read atomically so a message
arriving mid-call is preserved. Wired as the read_a2a content verb (route +
do_server tool + granted to every delivery role) — the content-bearing read the
A2A inbox lacked (read_messages only zeroed the counter).
* docs(rag): document read_a2a as the A2A content-read path
* fix(task): backlog activation no longer requires a discussion session
Removes the SessionTaskTable gate in activate() (and its dangling log field),
deletes _inherit_parent_session + its create() call, and drops the now-unused
SessionTaskTable import. Coordination rides task state; the session subsystem is
being retired. Tests updated to the new (no-session) behavior.
* fix(orchestrator): drop session sweep from _run_sweep
Removes the messaging import + sweep_timed_out_sessions call. That import sat
outside the try/except, so once messaging.py is deleted it would have killed the
entire sweep cascade (budget kill-switch, token rollups, retention, image prune,
superseded-PR reconcile). Notification sweep + all maintenance sweeps unchanged.
* release-manager --no-tags read-clone fix
* test: update evidence_repo unit test for a2a last_message_preview
* refactor(gateway): drop session propagation on delegate
Removes propagate_sessions_to_subtask from delegate(), the ChoreographerDeps
messaging field + property, and the ChoreographerDeps messaging arg in deps.py
(ContentActions messaging + import stay until the verbs are removed). Deletes the
propagation test; strips the now-invalid messaging kwarg from ChoreographerDeps
test builders.
* refactor(gateway): remove say/open_session/link_session/channels verbs
Removes the four channel/session verbs across content_actions (impls +
ContentActionsDeps.messaging), do_server (tools + registry), role_config (grants
+ _CHANNEL_DISCOVERY), do.py (routes), schemas/v1/do.py (request models), and
deps.py (MessagingService import + construction). Regenerates the prompt verb
tables. dm/notify/read_messages/read_a2a stay. Tests deleted/updated accordingly.
* uv.lock Upgrade
* refactor: remove conversation RAG indexing; Secretary announces via notification
Drops the CONVERSATIONS index (index_conversation, ConversationsIndexPlugin,
IndexType.CONVERSATIONS enum, IndexConversationParams, mentor.py type-label, the
messaging index hook) and its chunk-table manifest entries. The Secretary's
ANNOUNCE/RELAY_MESSAGE now fan out a BROADCAST notification to every agent's
inbox (NotificationService.broadcast) instead of posting to a dead channel.
* fix(panel): label RAG health error lines by subsystem
A red llm_error (e.g. the glm-5.2:cloud weekly-limit 429) rendered under
the 'Embedding: ok' header with no label, reading as an embedding failure.
Prefix each error line with LLM / Embedding / Vector store.
* refactor: remove channel/message reads from metrics, dashboard, git, events
MetricsService drops get_communication_volume + the MessageTable
message-count in get_agent_metrics (and the now-dead messages_sent_week
field). DashboardService drops get_channel_feeds/_compute_channel_status
and the message read in get_recent_activity (task activity kept);
get_auditor_metrics no longer reports communication_volume.
GitService's two primary-session-id helpers always return None now
(callers already treat None as "no primary session"). events/handlers.py
drops the SESSION_CLOSED/SESSION_TIMEOUT subscriptions + the
handle_session_boundary handler.
Forced follow-on: api/routes/dashboard.py + api/schemas/dashboard.py
dropped the now-dangling live_feeds/ChannelFeed surface and the
/metrics/communication route, which wrapped the removed service calls
directly (mypy would otherwise fail on the missing attributes).
* refactor: delete MessagingService + channel seeding
Edited db/__init__.py and services/__init__.py first (drop the unconditional
Channel/Group/Message/Session table + MessagingService re-exports), then
deleted services/messaging.py, then trimmed db/seed.py to only create_agents
(create_channels/create_channel_memberships/create_initial_messages gone).
Forced expansion: api/routes/{channels,groups,sessions,messages}.py import
roboco.services.messaging directly (not through the package __init__), as
does api/routes/tasks.py (the session-links embed on GET /tasks/{id} and the
GET /{id}/sessions route). Deleting messaging.py without addressing these
breaks `import roboco.api.app` immediately, since app.py eagerly imports all
route modules at startup. Since the 4 CRUD route files are 100%
MessagingService-backed with zero independent logic (and are wholesale
deletes in the plan's later API-routes task anyway), deleted them now +
unmounted from app.py/routes/__init__.py; tasks.py got the same surgical
trim its later task already specified (drop session-links embed +
TaskSessionLinkResponse/TaskResponse.sessions). This pulls a slice of that
later work forward — the routes/schemas for channels/groups/sessions/messages
still need their own pass, but their messaging-coupled parts are gone.
Verified with a full-suite collection sweep (12010 tests collected, zero
import errors) beyond the directly touched test dirs, given the expanded
blast radius.
* refactor: remove channel/session/message models, tables, and channel policy
Models: deleted channel.py/group.py/session.py/messaging.py wholesale
(zero external consumers besides the models/__init__.py re-export).
message.py surgically trimmed: removed MessageCreate (dead) and MessageEdit
(never instantiated; ExtractedMessage.edit_history retyped to
list[dict[str, Any]] to match how it's actually persisted — confirmed
ExtractedMessage was never written to any DB table, so MessageTable's
removal carries no functional risk to the kept extraction pipeline).
base.py: removed SessionStatus + ChannelType, kept MessageType. Also
removed the confirmed-dead channels_read/channels_write fields from
models/agent.py:AgentPermissions and models/dashboard.py:ChannelFeedData.
db/tables.py: deleted ChannelTable/GroupTable/SessionTable/SessionTaskTable/
MessageTable, TaskTable.session_links, and JournalEntryTable.session_id —
cascaded through models/journal.py, services/journal.py, and
api/schemas+routes/journals.py (22 plumbing sites).
foundation/policy/communications.py: removed the ChannelSpec/CHANNELS
catalog + TEAM_SCOPED_ROLES/_CELL_*/_AUDITOR_ONLY helpers, kept the
notification policy (Priority/parse_priority/NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES/
ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE). enforcement/channel_access.py deleted (confirmed
fully dead in production). agents_config.py: removed CHANNEL_ACCESS
(kept A2A_ALLOWED_PAIRS). seeds/initial_data.py: removed
DEFAULT_CHANNELS/CHANNEL_MEMBERSHIPS/AUDITOR_SILENT_ACCESS + the
never-consumed INITIAL_MESSAGES. config.py: removed
session_idle_timeout_seconds (zero consumers). exceptions.py: removed
dead ChannelError/ChannelAccessDeniedError/SessionClosedError.
Forced expansion beyond the original file list — ChannelType cascaded
into a live, mounted surface the plan didn't trace: agents_config.
CHANNEL_ACCESS -> services/permissions.py's channel-RBAC methods (not
models/permissions.py, which turned out to have no channel code at all)
-> two real endpoints in api/routes/stream.py (GET /permissions,
GET /permissions/channel/{name}) and two dependency factories in
api/deps.py. Removed the channel methods + fields, deleted the
channel-specific stream.py endpoint, deleted require_channel_read/write.
Also deleted api/schemas/{channels,sessions}.py (hard dependency on the
removed enums; already fully dead after the Task 10 route deletions) and
api/schemas/messages.py (a TYPE_CHECKING-only import of the deleted
MessageTable; likewise already fully dead) + its dedicated test file.
Test updates: test_permissions.py -14 channel tests (matches the planned
count exactly), test_communications.py / test_communications_consumers.py
split to keep only notification-policy coverage, test_exceptions.py -9,
test_deps.py -4, plus the journal/stream/foundation-smoke fallout. Also
fixed a pre-existing (Task 7) broken assertion in
test_foundation_phase3_smoke.py that inspected a `say()` method already
removed from ContentActions.
Verified: full-suite collection (11961 tests, zero import errors) and a
complete test run (11567 passed, 394 skipped, 0 failed) in addition to
the targeted suites.
* migration: drop channels/groups/sessions/session_tasks/messages + enum types
alembic/versions/060_drop_messaging.py: drop_column journal_entries.
session_id (sidesteps hardcoding the FK constraint name — verified
empirically against a live migrated DB that it's actually
fk_journal_entries_session_id_sessions, but drop_column doesn't care
either way); drop_table in FK order (messages -> session_tasks ->
sessions -> groups -> channels); DROP TABLE IF EXISTS chunks_conversations
(runtime-provisioned, not alembic-managed, would otherwise orphan); DROP
TYPE IF EXISTS for messagetype/sessionstatus/sessionscope/channeltype
(messagetype's Python enum stays for ExtractedMessage, but the DB type
had zero live columns left once MessageTable was dropped in the prior
commit). downgrade() raises NotImplementedError — one-way removal.
Pruned scripts/reset_runtime_state.sql + .sh: removed the DELETE/COUNT
lines for messages/session_tasks/sessions/groups/channels and the
groups.active_session_id reset block.
Verified end-to-end against a scratch Postgres DB: full migration chain
001->060 applies cleanly, alembic heads shows a single head, all 6 dropped
tables + 4 enum types + the journal_entries.session_id column are
confirmed gone, journal_entries keeps only its journal_id/task_id FKs,
downgrade correctly raises NotImplementedError without corrupting DB
state, and the pruned reset_runtime_state.sql runs clean (no errors)
against a fully-migrated DB.
* refactor(api): remove channel/session/message routes + WS streams
Most of this task's file list was already forced through in earlier
commits (routes/{channels,groups,sessions,messages}.py + app.py/__init__.py
unmounting in the MessagingService-deletion commit; tasks.py's
session-links embed + GET /{id}/sessions + schemas/tasks.py's
TaskResponse.sessions in that same commit; deps.py's require_channel_read/
write + schemas/{channels,sessions}.py in the models/tables commit). This
closes out what was left:
- api/websocket.py: deleted the channel_stream + session_stream routes,
ConnectionManager's channel_connections/session_connections dicts,
connect_channel/connect_session, broadcast_to_channel/broadcast_to_session,
get_channel_subscriber_count, and their cleanup lines in disconnect().
Agent streams, notification streams, and the operator system stream are
untouched.
- api/websocket_bridge.py: deleted _handle_session_event +
_handle_message_event and their SESSION_CREATED/SESSION_CLOSED/
SESSION_TIMEOUT/MESSAGE_SENT subscriptions. The A2A live-view, rate-limit,
usage, agent-lifecycle, and notification bridges are untouched.
- api/schemas/websocket.py: removed NewMessageBroadcast, WSMessageNew,
WSMessageEdit, WSMessageDelete, WSSessionClosed — kept the WSMessage base
class (still subclassed by the kept WSAgentStream/WSNotification) plus
those two.
- api/schemas/groups.py: deleted (already fully orphaned since routes/
groups.py was removed; its GroupResponse/GroupDetailResponse had zero
consumers).
Updated the 5 websocket test files accordingly (removed the channel/
session-specific tests + fixed imports); test_websocket_bridge.py's
registration-coverage test dropped the SESSION_*/MESSAGE_SENT assertions.
Verified: full-suite collection (11943 tests, zero import errors) and a
complete test run (11549 passed, 394 skipped, 0 failed).
* docs: retire channels/sessions/messages from agent-facing docs + CLAUDE.md
Rewrites docs/rag (RAG-indexed) + docs/map + CLAUDE.md to reflect A2A (dm +
read_a2a) as primary agent comms; deletes the channel docs, splits messaging-tools
+ messaging-notification (renamed notification.md), swaps the WS worked example to
A2A_MESSAGE_SENT. _complete_map.md still needs regeneration (generated file).
* refactor(panel): remove Communications surface (channels/sessions)
Deletes the /communications routes, message components, task-detail Sessions tab,
use-channels + channel/session WS hooks, and the channels/sessions/messages/groups
api clients; prunes the Channel/Session/Message/Group types + mock data. (Auditor
live-feeds + dashboard.ts dead-route cleanup is a follow-up.)
* refactor(panel): drop auditor channel-feed + dead communication-metric route
* docs(map): regenerate _complete_map from updated slices
* fix(a2a): reduce get_unread_messages complexity below xenon C + stale comments
Extract the per-conversation unread-counter recompute into _reset_unread_counter
(the CI quality gate flagged get_unread_messages as rank C). Also drop the deleted
open_session from a content_actions comment and reword an evidence_repo docstring
that cited the removed messaging._notify_mentions.

* feat(a2a): live view — watch fleet conversations, CEO chime-in, reply budget
A2A_MESSAGE_SENT published from A2AService.send (excerpt-capped) and
fanned through the existing /ws/system bridge; CEO-only admin REST for
conversations/messages + a reply route on the publish-bearing send path;
panel /a2a page with live transcript and a composer gated on task-linked
conversations. The matrix gains its one asymmetric rule: CEO may message
anyone, nobody may target the CEO — and agent replies inside a
CEO-opened conversation are hard-budgeted to one per CEO message
(per conversation, per agent), rejected with wait-don't-retry guidance.
Built subagent-driven (Sonnet 5), reviewed; v1 seams documented in the
map delta.
* feat(prompter): intake remembers the task history
Intake spawns now carry a per-project chronological digest of recent
tasks (capped: 15 lines/project, 4000 chars total — ~300-1000 tokens)
merged into the ambient layer, and the interviewer gets a bounded
search_past_tasks tool (one shared implementation behind the grok MCP
tool and the Claude SDK in-process tool) to check precedent
mid-conversation. Informational memory only — the sequencing analyzer
keeps ownership of ordering. Built subagent-driven (Sonnet 5), reviewed;
pre-existing conventions-ambient MegaTask-scope gap flagged, untouched.

* Updated uv.lock
* Bunch of fixes we need to verify first..
* feat(megatask): per-cell project map root-subtasks (multi-project, multi-cell)
A MegaTask root-subtask can now target an ad-hoc per-cell project map — a
third targeting shape that mirrors the existing product fan-out root. In
RoboCo a project is per-cell (ProjectTable.assigned_cell); a monorepo is N
per-cell projects sharing one git_url. So 'multi-cell' IS 'multi-project',
and a task may mix per-cell projects across products or include OSS-library
projects not in any product.
Storage: migration 052 adds task_cell_projects (mirrors product_projects;
unique per (task, team)). TaskTable gains a cascade-delete cell_projects
relationship; TaskCreateRequest / TaskCreate / Task response carry the map.
Policy: batch.is_branchless_coordination + is_valid_batch_shape gain a
has_cell_projects param — a root-subtask targets exactly one of project /
product / cell-map; the umbrella still targets none. TaskService passes
has_cell_projects at every predicate call site and persists the rows in
create(). _ensure_branch_for_task cuts feature/main_pm/{root} per distinct
project in the map (via _distinct_projects_for_task); _require_target_or_umbrella
and _validate_batch_membership accept the map shape.
Fan-out: every distinct_project_ids site (task.py branch creation, routes
_project_for_complete + _resolve_project_for_merge, orchestrator
_ambient_projects_for_task, pr_review._project_slug_for, git._project_for_task)
generalizes to first-distinct-project-of-map-or-product. Choreographer
_resolve_subtask_project resolves a delegated subtask's cell from the parent's
cell map. The product-scoped _slugs_for_product intake helper is unchanged.
Intake: prompter._draft_cell_map extracts the per-cell map from the_work[].
_validate_batch_scope counts distinct projects across all drafts' cells
(>=2 min stays; one 2-cell draft satisfies it). create_task_from_draft
persists cell_projects for >=2-cell drafts (project_id/product_id None),
collapses a 1-cell map to the single-project shape, and leaves single-cell
top-level project_id drafts unchanged. _resolve_owning_team routes a
multi-cell map to Main PM (coordination root, like a product root — a cell
PM can't delegate cross-cell). propose_draft/propose_batch tool descriptions
declare the per-cell project_id (both Claude SDK + grok runtimes).
The umbrella stays branchless / pure-coordination / submit_root-rejected;
the CEO-escalation pr_number gate is not widened (the map root is
is_umbrella=False, mirroring a product root, so submit_root supplies it).
Single-cell root-subtasks and everything below them are byte-for-byte
unchanged. Un-run MegaTask waves (multi-cell drafts) become runnable.
* [feature] Panel per-cell project picker + pnpm format infra
MegaTask root-subtasks can fan out across cells (be+fe, fe+uxui). Since a
RoboCo project is per-cell (ProjectTable.assigned_cell), a monorepo is N
per-cell projects sharing one git_url — so multi-cell IS multi-project. The
batch-review card now shows one project Select per the_work entry, scoped to
that cell's repos, instead of one Select bound to a single top-level
project_id. confirmBatch validates each cell's project is in scope and the
batch still spans >=2 distinct projects.
- prompter.ts: CellWork gains optional project_id (the per-cell picker seam).
- batch-review-card.tsx: per-cell Selects (one per the_work entry), scoped to
the cell's projects; legacy single-cell drafts keep the one-Select path.
- use-prompter.ts: updateBatchDraftProject edits per-cell (entryIndex); confirmBatch validates every cell; batchFromEvent parses per-cell map.
Also adds the missing pnpm format infrastructure (the panel had no formatter
at all): prettier devDep + .prettierrc.json (default-style config: 80-col,
double-quote, semi, trailing-comma-all) + .prettierignore, plus format /
format:check scripts. Only the 3 changed files above were reformatted; the
~222 pre-existing non-compliant files are left untouched (a wholesale reformat
is a separate explicit decision, not bundled into this feature).
* [fix] MegaTask verification: migration 052 enum + async cell-map read
Two real bugs surfaced running the full gate against a containerized
Postgres (and the orchestrator boot log):
1. Migration 052 crashed a real orchestrator boot with
'type "team" already exists'. The generic sa.Enum(create_type=False)
does NOT set the postgres enum's create_type attribute, so op.create_table
(checkfirst=False) emitted a redundant CREATE TYPE against the pre-existing
team enum. Switched to postgresql.ENUM(create_type=False) — the postgres-
native enum whose create_type _check_for_name_in_memos actually reads, so
the CREATE TYPE is suppressed. Verified: 051->052 upgrade against a DB where
the team enum pre-existed (the exact path that crashed) now succeeds;
downgrade 052->051 drops the table and preserves the shared enum; fresh
upgrade head clean. (Migration 016 has the same latent sa.Enum pattern but
never re-runs in prod, so it's noted, not touched here.)
2. _ensure_branch_for_task read task.cell_projects (lazy=selectin to-many)
directly, tripping MissingGreenlet on a freshly-created/unqueried task —
which then poisoned the async session (PendingRollbackError). Replaced with
_task_has_cell_map: peeks InstanceState.unloaded (no IO) and reads the
already-loaded map, falling back to an awaited count query only when the
relationship is genuinely unloaded. Non-ORM stubs route to the plain
attribute. Fixes 2 integration tests; the 6 cell-map unit tests still pass.
Also: typed the self stub as Any in test_choreographer_subtask_project
(mypy tests/ wants Choreographer, not SimpleNamespace) — the codebase idiom.

Pre-existing xenon C-rank on reassign (from prior commit 19a474d3, not this
feature) still blocks make quality — surfaced separately.
* [refactor] Extract reassign board-advisory diversion helper (C→B complexity)
`reassign` in roboco/services/task.py hit xenon absolute complexity 11 (a
C-rank block), failing `make quality`'s --max-absolute B gate. The C-rank
originated in 19a474d3 (pre-existing, not this feature branch's work).
Extract the board/advisory → cell-task diversion into
`_maybe_divert_board_advisory_reassign` (complexity 4, A). reassign drops to
9 (B); behavior is byte-for-byte preserved — the helper runs the same
guard + pool diversion + log, returning the diverted task or None so the
caller falls through to the normal handoff. Whole-repo xenon exits 0; the 159
reassign / board-guard tests pass.
Unblocks `make quality` on feature/metrics-granularity.
* [fix] migration 016: postgresql.ENUM(create_type=False) for reused team enum
016_add_products_and_task_product_id used `sa.Enum(..., create_type=False)`
for the reused Postgres "team" enum — the same latent defect that crashed
052 on a real orchestrator boot. On the generic `sa.Enum` the
`create_type` kwarg is silently dropped, so `_check_for_name_in_memos`
never sees it and `op.create_table` (checkfirst=False) emits a redundant
`CREATE TYPE team` that fails with "type 'team' already exists" against a
DB where the enum pre-exists.
Switch to the postgres-native `postgresql.ENUM(..., create_type=False)` —
its `create_type` is a real attribute the guard reads, so the CREATE TYPE
is suppressed (and DROP TYPE on downgrade too). The member list is inert
under create_type=False (it never creates/alters the type), so it stays at
016's original six, reflecting the enum as it stood then, not the
later-widened set.
This never crashed in prod because 016 is never re-run (alembic_version is
past it), but it's the same defect class. Verified on the real boot path:
upgrade to 015 in process A (team enum created by 001), then `upgrade head`
in a fresh process B — 016 applied clean, no DuplicateObjectError; downgrade
016->015 clean, shared team enum preserved.
See project_migration_enum_create_type_gotcha.
* [chore] panel: prettier reformat across the codebase
Apply `pnpm format` (prettier 3.8.5, 80-col / double-quote / semi /
trailing-comma-all) to the 223 pre-existing panel files that predated the
prettier infra added in cb5365a4. Pure formatting — no semantic changes:
multi-line arrays/objects collapsed where they fit, trailing newlines added
(.prettierrc.json), import grouping unchanged.
Verified: `pnpm format:check` clean, `pnpm lint` clean, `pnpm typecheck`
clean, `pnpm test` 113/113 pass (7 files).
* Bunch of runtime fixes for MegaTask and other issues
* Fix different project same PR number collision problem
Fix (two layers):
1. Root cause — pr_merge and rebase_pr_for_task now take a required project_id and scope the lookup where(pr_number == X AND project_id == Y). Required so no caller can forget — the bug class can't recur. All 4 call sites updated (choreographer cell_pm_complete, the rebase-retry, the superseded close_pull_request now passes project_id, and _verb_runner._do_pr_merge).
2. Crash guard — _finalize_cell_complete None-checks the complete() return and returns a clean invalid_state envelope (with a remediate hint) instead of dereffing None → 500 → respawn loop.
* Fix: Make main_pm + task_type=code impossible

* [fix] submit_root: hard unchanged-PR gate stops the pr_fail re-submit loop
The 2026-06-27 infinite pr_fail loop: a Main-PM root (PR #139) was pr_fail'd,
routed to needs_revision, and re-submitted byte-identical → awaiting_pr_review
→ pr_fail again, forever. The prior hint/a2a steer was ignored by the weak
coordinator model — hints don't stop a model that won't read them. A HARD gate
refuses the re-submit when the assembled root PR's head SHA is unchanged since
the last pr_fail (no new cell work → identical diff); a different SHA ⇒ the
branch advanced ⇒ allow. Every ambiguous case fails open (no prior fail, no
recorded SHA, no pr_number, unresolvable slug, git error, closed PR) — only the
exact-unchanged case is hard-blocked.
- content/models: PrReviewContent.head_sha (optional; JSON col → no migration).
- git: get_pr_head_sha (GitHub pulls API; None on any failure → fail-open).
- pr_gate: pr_fail captures head_sha into the verdict record; pr_pass does not.
- _impl: submit_root runs _submit_root_unchanged_pr_guard after _submit_up_guard;
_current_root_pr_head_sha resolves slug + current SHA (fail-open).
- pr_review: extract module-level resolve_task_project_slug, shared by the mixin
and the gate helper (_LegacyChoreographer reaches it via cast to the
ChoreographerHelpers typed view — it doesn't inherit the helpers mixin).
- tests: test_submit_root_unchanged_pr_guard (11 — refuse/allow/6 fail-open/3
capture-side, mypy-clean via cc:Any spy idiom, zero type:ignore) +
test_pr_gate_notifies_pm capture-path stub.
* [chore] mypy tests/: clear all 15 pre-existing type errors so make quality can go green
The branch tip had 15 mypy tests/ errors in files this bundle did not author,
which blocked CI's make quality mypy step (mypy roboco/ tests/) regardless of
the bundle's own commits. Pre-existing is still existing — fix every one:
- test_schemas_v1_flow.py (8): the StrList coercion tests intentionally pass
SDK-nested list-of-strings input ([[['...']]], {'item':{'$text':'...'}}, int,
dict). Annotate those literals as list[Any] locals so mypy accepts the
coerce-able shape; the StrList BeforeValidator still flattens to list[str] at
runtime. No type:ignore.
- test_pr_gate_records_verdict.py (3): notes_structured is dict|None; narrow
with 'assert t.notes_structured is not None' before indexing (the existing
pattern at line 90).
- test_pr_review_hand_format_guard.py (1 site, 2 errors): the _verb_runner()
spy assertion — use the cc: Any = c alias idiom so assert_not_awaited
resolves; drops the now-unused type:ignore[union-attr].
- test_pr_gate_notifies_pm.py (1): drop the unused type:ignore[method-assign]
on the a2a.send reassignment.
- test_content_models.py (1): narrow coerced with isinstance(coerced,
PrReviewContent) before reading .issues (the base _Content lacks the field).
Gates: rm -rf .mypy_cache && mypy roboco/ tests/ = Success (855 files);
ruff check + format clean; 5 affected suites = 40 passed.
* [fix] fail_qa routes needs_revision back to the dev, never the pool
A dev task in needs_revision must go back to the developer, never the
pool. The pool path let a cell PM re-claim the revision (PMs can claim
needs_revision) — the live 2026-06-27 'needs revision on a dev task sent to
the cell PM' bug.
fail_qa's original_developer marker is the fast path, but it is
unreliable in practice (live observation: never persisted), so the
unassign else-branch was the load-bearing path and it dropped the task
into the pool. Add a work-session fallback (_resolve_revision_dev) that
resolves the developer who actually worked the task — the most recent
work session whose agent is a developer, the QA's own session excluded
— and reassigns to that dev instead of unassigning. Only unassign when
no developer ever touched the task. Self-heals the marker so a
subsequent re-fail takes the fast path and the QA-review index
attributes the work correctly.
* [feature] delegate carries dev-task collision surface (sequencing S1)
The cell/main PM's delegate verb now carries the dev-task collision
surface (intends_to_touch / adds_migration / touches_shared) and an
explicit depends_on override through DelegateRequest -> DelegateInputs
-> _create_subtask_from_inputs -> create_subtask, and create_subtask
forwards sequence / dependency_ids / batch_id / surfaces into the
prepared TaskCreateRequest instead of dropping them (the base create
already persists them at task.py:878-884).
This is the plumbing for the multi-level sequencing model edge kind 3
(dev-task collision DAG). Previously a dev task delegated with a
collision surface or an explicit dependency lost it before persistence
— dependency_ids was always [], so the only dev-task ordering was the
weak assignee-keyed spawn barrier (the live 2026-06-27 out-of-order
break: 40842957 started before 9b3682b8's PR merged). Phase S2 runs
SequencingService over the surfaced siblings and wires the DAG via
add_dependency.
* [feature] wire dev-task collision DAG at cell-PM delegation (sequencing S2)
Pure dev_task_collision_edges in sequencing.py turns a parent's surfaced
siblings into (depends_on_id, task_id) pairs via SequencingService. TaskService.
wire_sibling_collision_dag wires them through add_dependency (idempotent). The
choreographer calls it after each dev-task delegate so the sibling collision DAG
is built incrementally as the cell PM decomposes — file-overlap serializes,
migration chains, shared-last; stable (priority, sequence) ordering keeps edges
from flipping into reverse cycles on re-runs.
* [feature] wire cell-task wave chain + by-osmosis edge (sequencing S3)
Kind 2 (cell-task wave chain): a new cell-task under root-subtask UT_n
depends on every cell-task under every root-subtask in UT_n.dependency_ids
(the kind-1 wave-chain edges), so its branch carries the previous wave's
merged cell work. Re-derived from the root-subtask's deps, not the cell-task's
own dependency_ids (which also carry UX/product-fanout edges the by-osmosis
edge must not pick up). A root may fan to several cell-tasks (different cells),
so the previous wave's cell-task is a SET.
Kind 4 (by-osmosis): the first dev task (sequence 0) under a cell-task depends
on each predecessor cell-task's tail (max-sequence) dev task, so the new wave's
first branch carries the previous wave's fully-merged tail. Subsequent dev
tasks inherit the tail via kind 3 or the merged base.
Both wired from _create_subtask_from_inputs, dispatched on parent.team
(MAIN_PM -> kind 2; cell team -> kind 4). Pure helpers
(cell_task_wave_chain_depends_on, by_osmosis_tail_dev_tasks) unit-tested in
test_sequencing.py; TaskService methods integration-tested. Idempotent +
best-effort throughout (add_dependency dedupes; missing predecessors are
no-ops). Also fixes a latent mypy-tests gap (estimated_complexity required on
direct TaskCreateRequest calls in the S2 tests).
* [feature] sync_branch dev verb — gate-level branch rebase (Phase B1)
Raw shell git is denied to agents (Bash(git:*) base deny), so a developer
whose branch fell behind its base had no gate-level rebase — only the
CEO/PM-only /rebase HTTP route. sync_branch is the dev verb that wraps the
rebase through the gate (traced + evidenced), so the 'everything goes through
the gates' invariant holds.
- lifecycle: IntentSpec sync_branch (dev-only, ownership-gated, composes=(),
git-only — no DB transition); _next_hint_synced helper.
- GitService.sync_task_branch: rebase task.branch_name onto its resolved base
via rebase_onto_base (fetch + rebase + force-with-lease push).
- Choreographer.sync_branch + _sync_branch_preflight_rejection: not_found /
unknown-role / spec-gate / no-branch / protected-base guards, then the git
op; conflicts abort (no force-push) and steer to resolve-by-hand; git failure
steers to i_am_blocked.
- HTTP route /api/v1/flow/developer/sync_branch + SyncBranchRequest schema.
- MCP tool sync_branch(task_id) + _TOOLS registration (manifest auto-propagates
via intents_for_role(Role.DEVELOPER)).
Tests: intent spec (5), choreographer handler (8: happy/conflicts/not_found/
not_authorized/no-branch/protected-base/git-failure/audit), route (1), MCP (1).
ruff + mypy roboco/ tests/ clean; unit suite green (DB-fixture errors env-only).
* [feature] i_am_done behind-base submit gate (Phase B2)
A sibling's PR merging into the parent branch while a dev worked leaves the
dev's branch behind its base — the assembled PR then can't merge cleanly and
the sibling's changes go missing (the 2026-06-27 out-of-order dev-task break).
The behind-base gate refuses i_am_done in that state and steers the dev to
sync_branch (the Phase B1 gate-level rebase verb).
- GitService.is_behind_base: rev-list --left-right --count across
origin/{base}...origin/{head} → (behind, ahead); fetch-first so origin
reflects the pushed head. Raises on git failure (consistent with
rebase_onto_base); malformed stdout degrades to (0,0).
- Choreographer._behind_base_gate: wired into _i_am_done_gate after
_ensure_branch_pushed. behind>0 → invalid_state remediate→sync_branch.
Fail-open on git/base-resolution error (flaky fetch can't strand a task at
the submit gate — the merge layer has its own behind checks). Skipped for
branchless roots and protected bases (master/main/-prefixed).
Tests: gate (6: refuse+steer/up-to-date/branchless/protected/fail-open-base/
fail-open-git), is_behind_base (6: parse/up-to-date/malformed/argv-form/
requires-branch/missing-project). ruff + mypy roboco/ tests/ clean; unit green.
* [docs] sync_branch prompt + behind-base guidance (Phase B3)
Update every behind-base/rebase guidance surface to reflect the B1
sync_branch dev verb + B2 i_am_done behind-base gate: devs now self-rebase
through the gate instead of escalating a plain behind-base condition; PMs
still escalate cell/root integration branches (they have no rebase verb).
- developer.md: sync_branch in the verb table; 'When your branch is behind
its base' rewritten — call sync_branch, do NOT i_am_blocked a plain
behind-base; conflicts → resolve by hand, commit, sync_branch again.
- cell_pm.md: delegate signature gains intends_to_touch/adds_migration/
touches_shared/depends_on + a 'Collision surface' section (fill it on every
code subtask so sibling dev tasks that touch the same files sequence into a
conflict-free order — the 2026-06-27 out-of-order break fix); behind-base
section steers devs to sync_branch, PMs escalate only the integration branch.
- main_pm.md: behind-base section — dev leaf = dev's sync_branch; cell/root
integration branch = escalate_up.
- RAG git-errors.md / blocked-tools.md: devs sync_branch, PMs escalate.
- docs/troubleshooting/common-issues.md: leaf self-rebases; integration branch
still escalates to operator.
- CLAUDE.md verb surface: developer gains sync_branch.
- agents/prompts/_generated/*: regenerated via scripts/regenerate_verb_tables.py
— adds sync_branch to the dev table AND catches the generated tables up to
the S1/S2 delegate sequencing params + meltdown-fix note top-level params
(the derived files had drifted stale vs the already-committed schemas).
Docs/prompts only — no code. ruff + mypy roboco/ tests/ clean.
* [chore] orchestrator: refuse to spawn human-only roles (CEO/prompter/secretary)
A live 2026-06-27 incident saw a CEO agent container spawned. Root cause:
_dispatch_a2a_work iterates every A2A/notification target and spawns it
with no human-role filter, and _is_agent_active('ceo') is always false
(the CEO is never a container), so the 'skip if active' check could never
protect the CEO. Any CEO-addressed notification (board handoff, escalation)
launched a CEO container — the system acting as the human CEO: a trust
violation. The CEO is the human operator; intake (prompter) and secretary
are human-driven chats launched through their own dedicated guarded paths
(_spawn_intake_container / _spawn_secretary_container), never spawn_agent.
Fix: a single chokepoint guard at the top of spawn_agent refuses
Role.CEO / PROMPTER / SECRETARY (raises AgentReadinessError + logs). This
structurally covers every dispatcher present and future, since they all go
through spawn_agent. Plus a defense-in-depth skip in _dispatch_a2a_work so
a human-role target never even calls in (avoids error-log spam; the
notification stays for the human to read in the panel).
Safe: the dedicated human-spawn paths do not route through spawn_agent.
Regression tests: spawn_agent refuses ceo/intake-1/secretary-1, does NOT
refuse a real agent; _dispatch_a2a_work skips CEO/intake/secretary targets
and still spawns real-agent + mixed-target cases.
* [chore] orchestrator: skip human-only assignees in claimed/pm-review dispatchers
Defense-in-depth for the spawn_agent human-role chokepoint (d31d6719).
The chokepoint structurally guarantees no CEO/prompter/secretary container
can ever spawn — every dispatcher goes through spawn_agent. But two
dispatchers resolve an arbitrary assigned_to and spawn it with only a
None/unknown-role filter, so a human-assigned task would reach the
chokepoint and RAISE: caught by the per-dispatcher try/except, but it
aborts that dispatcher's whole tick (stalling other respawns behind the
mis-assigned task) and error-logs every cycle. The other dispatchers are
already safe by whitelist/hardcoded slug (blocker_resolver_slug returns
None for non-PM/non-BOARD; escalation/approval use whitelists; marketing
and audit hardcode their non-human slug).
- _claimed_task_needs_agent: return None for a CEO/prompter/secretary
assignee — no container to respawn, and do NOT release a human-owned
task to pending (that would re-route it to a PM). Leave it for the human.
- _dispatch_pm_review_work (assigned branch): skip a human-only assignee
so a CEO-assigned awaiting_pm_review task neither spawns nor aborts the
dispatcher's tick.
Audited all target-iterating dispatchers; only these two lacked a filter.
Regression tests cover both skips.
* [F002] retype board-routed MegaTask root-subtasks code->planning on activation
_activate_batch_root_subtasks flipped a held root-subtask to team=MAIN_PM
but left task_type=code (intake only coerces main_pm-team drafts, so a
board-routed code root reached activation still code-typed). The
main_pm+code combo re-introduces the 2026-06-27 meltdown. Mirror
approve_and_start's own retype via main_pm_cannot_own_code so the
activated child is a planning-typed coordination root.
TDD: RED test_activate_batch_root_subtasks_retypes_code_to_planning
watched fail (task_type stayed CODE), then GREEN after the retype.
ruff+mypy clean; 125 batch/umbrella/approve tests green, no regressions.
* [F003,F004,F014] enforce HMAC agent-token gate on do routes + WebSocket streams
F003/F014: /api/v1/do/* only required X-Agent-ID (UUID) — no token check,
unlike the flow routers' role guards. A forged X-Agent-ID passed. Added
require_any_authenticated_agent (token-only; do router serves all roles)
and applied it as a router-level dependency. Binds X-Agent-ID to a verified
HMAC token when ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED=true; rejects a forged token
even in dev mode.
F004: /ws/* per-agent streams (channels/agents/sessions/notifications)
never read the nginx-injected X-Agent-Token, so in strict mode an agent on
the Docker network could subscribe to another agent's notifications with
no auth. Added _require_panel_token verifying the CEO panel token against
the CEO identity; wired into all four per-agent streams (system stream
stays operator-only per its docstring). Same strict/dev contract.
TDD: RED tests watched fail (no gate -> 200/accept), then GREEN. ruff+mypy
clean; 399 api/mcp + 29 WS tests green, no regressions.
* [F005,F006] grok auth: directory mount + atomic-write fallback
F005: the single-file bind mount of auth.json pinned the inode, so the
orchestrator's atomic refresh (tmp+rename within ~/.grok) never reached a
running grok container — a long-lived container hung at the login prompt
when the original ~6h token expired. Mount the host ~/.grok DIRECTORY (ro)
at /home/agent/.grok-auth-ro; the entrypoint symlinks ~/.grok/auth.json at
that RO mount so grok + the --check backstop read the live credential (the
directory mount sees the host-side rename) while grok's writable state
(config.toml, sessions/) stays in the image's ~/.grok.
F006: a rotated refresh_token is single-use — xAI invalidates the old one
the instant it issues the new one. If the atomic write failed after the
rotation, the file kept the now-dead old refresh_token and the credential
was permanently lost on the next refresh. _atomic_write now falls back to a
direct write when tmp+replace fails, so the rotated token always lands on
disk (losing the write is catastrophic; losing atomicity is not).
TDD: RED tests watched fail, then GREEN. ruff+mypy clean; 32 grok tests
green, no regressions.
* [F016,F017] choreographer: surface invalid_state instead of None.status 500 on submit_root / i_am_blocked
Both verbs compose a single atomic action whose None return (the verb's
own result) flowed out of run_intent and was dereferenced as t.status,
HTTP 500-ing with no actionable rejection:
- F016 submit_root: submit_for_review returns None when the root->master
PR was already opened / the task raced out of in_progress. Post-runner
None-guard extracted into _submit_root_finalize -> invalid_state
(re-fetch; if awaiting_pr_review the PR is open, wait for reviewer;
else re-delegate fixes and retry) instead of None.status.
- F017 i_am_blocked: escalate returns None in four cases (no task, no
agent, no resolvable escalation-target slug, no target agent row) e.g.
a developer whose role has no PM above it. _run_i_am_blocked_intent
now guards updated is None -> (t, invalid_state rejection) with
remediation (re-fetch + escalate to CEO directly / retry) instead of
the caller deref'ing None.status -> 500 + respawn-loop.
TDD red->green; ruff + mypy clean; gateway suite green (58 passed).
* [F007] choreographer: cell-level unchanged-PR re-submit loop-stopper for submit_up
The root loop-stopper (F016) was root-only; a weak cell PM could re-submit
the unchanged cell->root PR after a pr_fail and loop awaiting_pr_review ->
pr_fail forever (the cell analogue of the 2026-06-27 root loop).
pr_fail stamps the assembled PR's head SHA into notes_structured.pr_review
.head_sha for cell AND root gate tasks alike (the capture is gate-verb-
level, not root-level), so the same structural refusal applies to submit_up:
if the cell PR's current head SHA equals the SHA the last pr_fail recorded,
no new dev work landed on the cell branch -> the diff is byte-identical ->
refuse, do not re-open the gate. Different SHA -> branch advanced -> allow.
- _submit_up_unchanged_pr_guard mirrors _submit_root_unchanged_pr_guard
(cell-PM remediation: re-delegate to the dev + wait for re-assembly),
wired into submit_up after _submit_up_guard passes.
- Renamed shared _current_root_pr_head_sha -> _current_pr_head_sha (both
guards use it; the lookup was never root-specific).
- Every ambiguous case FAILS OPEN (no prior fail, no recorded sha, no
pr_number, no resolvable project, git/closed-PR None) — only the exact-
unchanged case is hard-blocked.
TDD red->green; ruff + mypy clean; F007+F016 guard suites green (15 passed).
* [F008] evidence_builder: surface persisted pr_review verdict+issues in the PM task_handoff
The pr_fail a2a steer to the owning PM is fire-and-forget; a PM respawned
into needs_revision later read none of it (build_task_handoff never looked
at notes_structured), saw a generic 'needs revision' with zero concrete
change-requests, and re-submitted the same PR (the 2026-06-27 infinite
pr_fail loop on 9980d0a0 / PR #138). The signal-gap was only partially
closed by the a2a.
build_task_handoff now extracts notes_structured.pr_review
(verdict/summary/issues/head_sha — the slot pr_fail authors on every fail)
into a pr_review field on the handoff, so every PM briefing for the task
carries the concrete change-requests. A prior pr_fail alone now counts as
prior-work-worth-resuming. Type-guarded + capped; absent => no key (no
misleading empty slot).
TDD red->green; ruff + mypy clean; evidence_builder suite green (14 passed).
* [F009] notification: derive requires_ack from ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE, not the True default
NotificationService._create_notification built NotificationTable without
requires_ack, so the column default (True) applied to EVERY notification -
including informational REVIEW_REQUEST / DOCUMENTATION_REQUEST /
A2A_REQUEST / KNOWLEDGE_SHARE (ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE -> False) and every
@mention from MessagingService._notify_mentions. Each false ack-required
inflated the recipient's unacked set and soft-blocked i_am_idle into
respawn churn.
- _create_notification: requires_ack=ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE.get(type, True)
(unmapped types default True - preserve the action-required bias).
- _notify_mentions: requires_ack=False explicit (MENTION is informational).
TDD red->green (identity is False/is True assertions - the mocked
flush doesn't apply SQLA's insert-time default, so pre-fix the attribute
was None); ruff + mypy clean; notification suite green (18 passed).
* [F010] notification: never dedup informational notifications (knowledge-share data loss)
The purpose-based dedup suppressed a same-purpose (same sender/type/task,
overlapping recipients) notification while a prior one was unacked. For
informational types (KNOWLEDGE_SHARE / MENTION / A2A_REQUEST / BROADCAST +
the pickup-proves-receipt triad) each send carries DISTINCT content (a new
learning, a new mention) and acking is voluntary, so a recipient who never
acks the prior one let the dedup permanently suppress every subsequent
same-sender broadcast - silent learning-broadcast data loss.
The dedup's anti-loop rationale (stop unacked-set inflation soft-blocking
i_am_idle) only holds for action-required signals. Gate the dedup on
ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE.get(type, True): action-required types still dedup,
informational types always create. Unmapped types default True (dedup on).
TDD red->green; ruff + mypy clean; notification + dedup suites green (20).

longer raises/short-circuits on a stale slug). Lock that reachability in:
a claimed task with an unknown-assignee UUID past grace returns the slug
(not None) so get_agent_role -> 'unknown' releases the claim to pending
for a role-matched reclaim.
* [F033] orchestrator: capture container_id at startup re-adoption
_readopt_running_agents registered re-adopted ACTIVE instances with
container_id=None. _check_health skips container_id-is-None instances, so
when a re-adopted container later exited the stopped-container handler
never ran and the task stranded under a phantom ACTIVE instance forever.
Add _resolve_container_id (docker inspect -f '{{.Id}}') and store the real
id on re-adopt. Best-effort: a probe failure degrades to None (still
ACTIVE; the reaper's Docker-liveness fallback covers it).
* [F034] orchestrator: re-stamp respawn last_check at restore
_pm_made_rule_following_retry bounds its tracing_gap audit lookup with
since = record.get('last_check'). A stale persisted last_check from before
the restart matched pre-restart tracing_gap rows, falsely resetting the
breaker on the very first post-restart spawn — exactly when a fresh strike
count should be evaluating current state.
_partition_respawn_rows now re-stamps last_check to the restore time on
every restorable entry, bounding the lookup to post-restart gaps only.
* [F035] orchestrator: probe-resume loop actually revives parked agents
_park_provider_unavailable parked the provider + offlined the instance but
never registered a WaitingRecord, so _on_probe_success -> _parked_agents_for
(always filtered on waiting_for=='rate_limit_lifted') returned [] and
resolve_wait revived nobody — recovery fell to the 600s stale-claim reaper
instead of the probe-success path the parking design relied on.
Register + persist a rate_limit_lifted WaitingRecord at park time (mirrors
mark_waiting_long, minus stop_agent — the container is already dead).
Companion reaper guard: _reap_with_service now skips provider-parked
assignees (_assignee_is_provider_parked) so the claim survives until the
probe revives the agent — otherwise the reaper releases the claim to pending
and probe-success respawns on a task the agent no longer owns.
* [F036] orchestrator: read transcript for overload detection too
The SDK server writes model-API errors (529/500/503) to /tmp/sdk-server.log,
not stdout, so an overload marker can appear only in the durable Claude
transcript — the same rationale already applied to the session-limit
detector. _provider_overload_park_target read only docker logs, so an
overload was missed and the agent crash-respawned straight back into it.
Now concatenates the transcript tail before matching, mirroring the
rate-limit path.
* [F037] orchestrator: drop bare error-NNN overload markers
The bare 'error 529'/'error 500'/'error 503' markers were broad enough to
false-match an agent that merely writes about an HTTP status code in its own
notes ('the endpoint returned error 500, retrying'), parking the whole
Anthropic fleet on a non-issue.
The SDK error formatter emits 'API Error: NNN' + a JSON error type, so the
remaining 'api error: 529/500/503' + 'overloaded_error' +
'internal_server_error' markers cover every real overload without that
false-match surface.
* [F038/F039] orchestrator: sign X-Agent-Token on self-API calls
The prior self-PATCH 401 fix only carried X-Agent-ID/X-Agent-Role. Arming
ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED=true made the middleware require a signed
X-Agent-Token, so every orchestrator self-call (auto-block / auto-resume /
auto-recover / SLA annotation) 401'd and silently no-op'd — wedging
paused/blocked parents.
Add _system_api_headers() that wraps the base headers with a signed token
for the system identity (issue_agent_token); switch all six self-call sites.
Dev fallback: no secret set => UNSIGNED sentinel + auth not required.
* [F040] orchestrator: finalize grok spawn session on cost-cap kill
_enforce_grok_cost_budget killed + evicted the container without calling
_finalize_spawn_session, so the open agent_spawn_sessions row stayed open
(ended_at IS NULL) and the burned usage/cost was never recorded in the
dashboard.
Call _finalize_spawn_session(exit_reason='cost_cap') BEFORE popping the
instance — it reads self._instances[agent_id] for the model +
usage_session_id, which the pop would lose.
* [F041] park grok exit-78 (auth missing/expired) instead of crash-retrying
A one-shot grok container whose entrypoint ran grok_auth --check and found
the token missing/expired exits 78 (EX_CONFIG). Crash-retrying 3x burns
tokens for zero progress — the agent cannot start without a valid token.
Park the provider with kind=auth_missing (same shape as the 429 exit-75
path) so the probe-resume loop revives the task once grok_auth.refresh_if_stale
mints a fresh token; if still expired, the next exit 78 re-parks (no burn).
Also fixes a latent F035 regression: _park_provider_unavailable now registers
a WaitingRecord, so the bare-__new__ rate-limit park test had to set
_waiting_records + stub _persist_waiting_record (mirrors the overload-test
fixture).
* [F042] isolate concurrent-duplicate conventions cache put in a savepoint
Two task creates for the same project/HEAD can race to populate the
conventions cache; the loser's INSERT fails the partial-unique index with
IntegrityError. A bare session.add + flush poisons the shared session (the
task-create transaction rides the same session), so every subsequent op
raises 'this session is in error state' and task creation crashes.
Run the INSERT in a savepoint (begin_nested) and swallow the IntegrityError:
only the savepoint rolls back, the outer transaction stays usable, and the
winner's row satisfies the next _cache_get.
* [F043] guard escalate_up against resurrecting terminal tasks
escalate_up had composes=() and no source-status guard, so a PM could
escalate a COMPLETED/CANCELLED task and apply_escalation set it back to
BLOCKED — bypassing the state machine's terminal-state invariant.
Defense in depth:
- spec: add PRECONDITION_NON_TERMINAL to escalate_up's extra_preconditions so
the lifecycle gate rejects terminal tasks (invalid_state) before the
journal:decision write fires; generalize _check_intent_preconditions to
honor non-tracing rejection_kind (not_authorized / invalid_state).
- service: apply_escalation (the single write primitive) returns False and
refuses to mutate a terminal task — covers the HTTP escalate route which
bypasses the spec gate. escalate() / escalate_up_to_role() return None on
refusal so the gateway emits a clean invalid_state envelope.
- route: the HTTP escalate route 409s a terminal task BEFORE sending the
escalation notification (so a finished task isn't yanked back, PM not pinged).
* [F044] pr_pass gate remediation points the reviewer at pr_fail, not i_am_blocked
The pr_pass gate runs the toolchain + conventions guards on the REVIEWER's
workspace, but their remediation text said 'call i_am_blocked' — a verb the
PR reviewer does not have. The reviewer would chase a verb they cannot call
instead of rejecting the PR.
Make the guards reviewer-aware: a reviewer=True flag (passed by _pr_pass_blocked)
switches the remediation to pr_fail(issues=[...]) — the reviewer's reject
lever, sending the PR back to needs_revision for the dev to fix the
environment / validator. The dev (i_am_done) path keeps i_am_blocked, which a
dev does have. _conventions_guard (the pr_pass path) now passes reviewer=True
through to _conventions_rejection.
* [F045] rate-limit: loud activate-failure log + in-memory orphan-probe fallback
The in-verb i_am_blocked(rate_limited) path wrapped RateLimitStateTracker.activate
in a bare contextlib.suppress. A silent activate failure stranded the fleet:
agents were parked in _waiting_records but the provider never entered the tracker,
so the tracker-driven _sweep_rate_limit_probes never probed it and no
_on_probe_success ever resumed them — parked agents stuck in WAITING_LONG.
Fix: (1) replace the bare suppress with a try/except that logs an error event
naming the provider + affected agents; (2) in _sweep_rate_limit_probes, after
probing the tracker-listed set, scan _waiting_records for any rate_limit_lifted
provider the loop did NOT cover and probe it via the time-expiry fallback (empty
state -> probe now) so _on_probe_success resumes the parked agents. The fallback
reads only local memory, so it still resumes when Redis was down at park time
(list_rate_limited_providers failure now falls through to the orphan scan instead
of returning early).
* [F046] pr_gate: guard None runner result on concurrent transition (pr_pass/pr_fail)
_gate_decision dereferenced the verb-runner result without a None guard.
run_intent returns None when a concurrent transition (cancel or a racing
reviewer) moves the task out of awaiting_pr_review between the precondition
gate and the runner's final composed action (the verb runner's documented
last-action source-status contract). The subsequent t.assigned_to /
t.status / _post_gate_review_to_pr(t, ...) dereferences then crashed the
gate with a 500 AttributeError. Add a None guard that surfaces a clean
invalid_state rejection (re-fetch + re-issue) before any dereference; no
PR post or a2a runs against a None task. TDD test_pr_gate_notifies_pm.py (+2).
* [F047] conventions: reviewer-aware block-finding remediation on pr_pass gate
The pr_pass (reviewer) conventions guard reused the dev-path block-finding
remediation: 'add a waiver to .roboco/conventions.yml in your branch'. A
pr_reviewer does not own the assembled cell->root / root->master branch and
has no commit verb on it, so the waiver remediation is unreachable — a false
positive stranded the gate with no self-recovery (the reviewer could neither
commit a waiver nor pr_pass). The fail-open content path is documented
precision-over-recall and stays as-is; the actionable gap is the remediation.
Fix: _conventions_rejection now branches the block-finding remediation on
reviewer=True (mirroring the could_not_run branch from F044). The reviewer
path points at pr_fail carrying the findings as issues so the PR returns to
needs_revision and the DEV fixes the violation or commits the waiver (the dev
CAN commit to the branch); waiver authorship is framed as the dev's action,
not the reviewer's. Dev i_am_done path wording unchanged. TDD
test_conventions_gate_pr_pass.py (+1).
* [F048] notify: reject human-only recipients (prompter/secretary) — no agent ack path
notify() only checked the SENDER role. The recipient was resolved by
NotificationService._resolve_recipients, which drops only unresolvable slugs
— it does not exclude human-only roles. The prompter (intake-1) and secretary
(secretary-1) are seeded agent rows, so they resolved, and an ack-required
ALERT addressed to them sat permanently unacked (no agent auto-acks it),
polluted the panel's pending-ack view, and — via the dedup query's
~acked_by.contains — permanently suppressed any later same-purpose
notification from the same sender to that human role. The knowledge-share
path already excludes all three human-only roles; the general notify path
did not.
Fix: a recipient-role guard in notify() via _reject_disallowed_recipient
(folds the new check into the existing CEO-dependency-block return slot so
notify stays under the PLR0911 return limit). Rejects prompter/secretary
with not_authorized; the CEO is human too but acks via the panel, so it stays
an allowed recipient (its only disallowed case, a dependency-block page, is
preserved). TDD test_notify.py (+3: reject prompter, reject secretary, allow
CEO).
* [F049] merge_pull_request: idempotent on already-merged PR (mirror _merge_with_retry)
* [F050] merge_pr_for_task: verify caller pr_number matches task's recorded PR
* [F051] open_conventions_pr: refuse dirty tree + verify checkout-base landed
* [F052] pr_target: scope task lookup by project_id (mirror close_pull_request)
* [F053] _token_for_project: log decryption failure (key rotation) with project slug
* [F054] learnings index: enforce shareable on every shared retrieval path (private-leak fix)
* [F055] messaging: recover from concurrent channel auto-create race via savepoint + re-fetch
* [F056] messaging: lock group row before session check-then-create to prevent active-session orphan race
* [F057] playbook: index/unindex as a post-commit step so the RAG corpus never leads the status transaction
* [F058] release-readiness: non-empty bump plan on first release
_canonical_bump_files derived the bump set from the previous
chore(release): commit. On the first release there is no such commit,
so it returned [] -> assess set version_bump_plan=[] -> the executor
published a tag with no files bumped (a no-op masquerading as X.Y.Z).
Fall back to the version-reference scan when no prior release commit
exists: the files currently embedding the version are exactly the set a
first release must bump, and the set the first release commit then
records as canonical for subsequent releases. Read-only derivation; the
CEO-approval gate and fail-closed executor are untouched.
* [F059] self-heal: hold fix tasks for CEO Approve-&-Start (restore dispatch gate)
The module docstring promised self-heal fix tasks 'wait for the CEO's
Approve-&-Start', but _originate created them confirmed_by_human=True and the
orchestrator dispatched them at once — a self-heal fix that re-broke CI would
trigger another cycle, open another auto-dispatched fix, and loop with no CEO
gate on dispatch.
Restore the documented gate:
* _originate opens the task confirmed_by_human=False (held for the CEO).
* The orchestrator holds a self-heal task out of both the PM and dev dispatch
paths until confirmed_by_human flips True.
* approve_and_start (the CEO's start gate) sets confirmed_by_human=True so the
held task finally dispatches (idempotent for board/intake tasks already True).
* list_pending_for_agent scopes the give_me_work hold to self-heal
(source != self_heal OR confirmed_by_human) so an already-alive PM can't grab
it pre-approval — while ordinary delegated subtasks (confirmed_by_human=False
by default, where the delegation IS the authorization) still dispatch.
The 'never self-deploys' guarantee (no merge) is unchanged.
* [F059] fix DB-integration test auth + retype self-heal root code→planning
conftest test-DB defaults matched the project's own running postgres
(roboco/roboco @ localhost:15432, the docker-compose roboco-postgres
service with CREATEDB) instead of the OS user on localhost:5432 which has
no such role — every db_session test failed with InvalidPasswordError
instead of running.
Once the DB connection worked, the self-heal origination DB test went RED
with MAIN_PM_NO_CODE: the self-heal root was task_type=CODE owned by
main_pm, the combo the main_pm_cannot_own_code guard rejects. The Main PM
coordinates the fix (delegates the code work to a cell dev); it has no
code verb. Retyped CODE→PLANNING and rewrote description/AC to
coordination-level.
* [F060] emit reversal audit row on claim-branch-failure rollback
The forward task.claimed audit row is flushed before the branch-creation
attempt, and AuditService commits on its own connection, so the rollback's
flush reverts the task row but not that audit row — the journey's last
event stayed task.claimed while the task reverted to its pre-claim status,
diverging from real state and corrupting downstream cycle-time/bottleneck
metrics. The rollback now emits a CLAIMED->original reversal audit row
(only when the forward transition was made) attributed to the claimant.
* Removing completely unnecessary files (for the repo they are unnecessary)
* [F061] audit status-transition rows now written in-session (F061/F073/F075)
_emit_status_transition_audit now writes AuditLogTable rows into
self.session synchronously (session.add) instead of dispatching
AuditService.log_task_event fire-and-forget on its own connection.
The audit row now commits/rolls back atomically with the status
transition in the caller's transaction, closing three facets at once:
- F061: audit commit no longer decoupled from the transition commit
- F073: a committed transition can no longer have NO audit row
(the row rides the same transaction; a swallowed persist can't drop it)
- F075: a transition rolled back inside a verb savepoint no longer
leaves a phantom audit row (the row is in the savepoint too)
log_task_event is now called only from this helper (narrow blast
radius verified); revision_count increment stays at this single
chokepoint. Cycle-time/bottleneck reconstruction from task.<status>
events is no longer silently corruptible.
Tests: test_emit_status_transition_audit_writes_in_session_atomically,
test_finalize_claim_rollback_emits_reversal_audit, escalation-audit
tests retargeted to in-session AuditLogTable rows.
Also: _canonical_bump_files grep-looseness follow-on (F058) -- filter
by subject, not body; git log --grep matches any message line, so a
non-release commit whose body references chore(release): shadowed the
real release commit. Test
test_canonical_bump_files_ignores_body_only_chore_release_match.
* [F061] drop type:ignore from audit-emit tests
Convention: no type:ignore/noqa. The F061 in-session audit-emit
tests used '# type: ignore[assignment]' to assign a MagicMock to
AsyncSession.add, and the F060 test assigned to .flush the same way.
Rewritten to hold a local 'session: MagicMock' variable (mypy sees
its auto-children as MagicMock, so .add.side_effect / .flush assign
cleanly with no suppression). Verified via 'mypy tests/' that both
files are now type-clean (the F060/F061 commits had skipped tests/
in mypy, masking two method-assign errors).
* [chore] clear all 64 pre-existing mypy errors in tests/ (no type:ignore)
Convention: no type:ignore/noqa, and pre-existing violations still
violate. The make-quality gate runs 'mypy roboco/ tests/', but the
prior commits' gates only ran mypy on production files, masking 64
type errors across 15 test files (method-assign, unused-ignore,
no-untyped-def, attr-defined, union-attr, has-type, index, misc).
Fixed without any type:ignore:
- method-assign (svc.session.X = / svc.method = AsyncMock()): hold a
local 'session: MagicMock'/'AsyncMock' and assert on it, or stub via
object.__setattr__ / monkeypatch / a typed '_bind' helper returning
Any, or alias 'cc: Any = c' (the pattern the file already used).
- unused 'type: ignore[assignment]' (real code was method-assign):
removed; replaced with the no-suppression patterns above.
- 'Callable[...] has no attribute assert_*': keep a typed local ref to
the AsyncMock and assert on the local, not the method-typed attr.
- no-untyped-def: annotate helper params (Any / pytest.MonkeyPatch).
- attr-defined / index / union-attr: type the helper as Any, narrow
with an 'is not None' assert, or add the missing attr to a fake.
- has-type / return-value: fix the declared return type to the tuple
the function actually returns.
- PLC0415 inline imports: hoisted to top-level.
test_pr_gate_notifies_pm._stub_gate_path converted fully to the
'cc: Any = c' alias (it already used it for one attr) so its five
'# type: ignore[method-assign]' suppressions are gone.
mypy tests/: 64 errors -> 0 (538 files). ruff check tests/: clean.
All 84 tests in the touched files pass.
* [chore] remove all remaining type:ignore suppressions from tests/
Converts 115 `# type: ignore[...]` suppressions across 23 test files to
no-suppression patterns (helper-return widening to Any, local Any aliases,
cc:Any aliases, cast at narrow call sites, typed fixtures) so the hard
no-type:ignore convention holds across tests/. No test logic or assertions
changed — only mock-wiring mechanics and type annotations.
Gate: ruff check tests/ clean; mypy tests/ (538 files) clean; 176 changed-file
tests pass. Zero real suppressions remain (the 7 grep hits are 3 hygiene-
checker string-literal test inputs and 4 prose mentions in comments).
* [F062] work_session.merge_pr: idempotency + active-status guard
merge_pr unconditionally set pr_status=merged, pr_merged_at, merged_by,
status=COMPLETED on whatever session it loaded — the only session-terminal
transition in WorkSessionService lacking both the active-status guard
(complete/abandon) and the terminal-idempotency guard (close). Two failure
modes: (1) a retried merge after a successful-but-unconfirmed GitHub merge
overwrote merged_by/pr_merged_at with the retry's actor/timestamp, corrupting
the merge audit trail; (2) merge_pr on an ABANDONED session resurrected it to
COMPLETED, undoing the single-active abandonment. Mirrors close()'s guard:
if status != ACTIVE, return the session unchanged. Both git.py callers await
merge_pr and discard the return, so the no-op is safe. TDD: 3 tests
(happy-path + both modes).
* [F063] workspace._clone_repo: rmtree half-configured clone on failure
If _configure_git raised CalledProcessError before its `remote set-url`
scrub, .git/config kept the tokenized auth URL (the project PAT) and
_assert_no_pat_leak never ran. The except clauses raised WorkspaceError
without removing the workspace, so the next ensure_workspace's health
short-circuit (valid .git with HEAD + objects) skipped past the leak —
mounting the agent on a workspace whose .git/config let it read+exfiltrate
the PAT. Both clone-failure except clauses now rmtree the workspace before
raising, so a half-configured clone is destroyed and ensure_workspace
re-clones from scratch. TDD: 2 tests (configure-failure leak + timeout).
* [F067] flow_main_pm: add missing /triage route
main_pm's manifest advertises triage (lifecycle.intents_for_role(MAIN_PM)
includes it via _PM_ROLES, alongside triage_all) but flow_main_pm.py had no
POST /triage route, so a main_pm agent calling triage hit a raw 404 that
bypassed the per-verb circuit breaker. Added the route mirroring flow_cell_pm's
/triage — wires to the existing team-scoped choreographer.triage (uses pm.team,
works for any PM role; Main PM gets its own team's blocked/awaiting tasks).
Fix direction: add-route, NOT remove-from-manifest — the manifest is spec-correct
(intents_for_role by construction); removing triage would contradict the spec
and leave main_pm with only cross-team triage_all. TDD: test_triage_route_exists_and_dispatches.
* [F068][F069] mcp servers: classify all rejection shapes + envelope 404s
F068: the do/flow-server circuit breaker only counted rejections whose
`error` field was a STRING in _CIRCUIT_REJECTION_KINDS. A 422 validation
failure (no `error` field, a `detail` list) and a 500/HTTPException
(dict-shaped `error` from the exception handlers) both bypassed the breaker
→ unbounded retries on a storm of either. Added _classify_rejection(payload)
(shared, applied to both servers) mapping all three shapes to a counted kind:
string error (existing), dict error → substring-mapped code
(*DENIED*/*AUTHORIZED*/*FORBIDDEN*/*PERMISSION*→not_authorized,
INVALID_INPUT/*VALIDATION*→incomplete_input, *NOT_FOUND*→None parity, else
→invalid_state), 422 detail→incomplete_input. The dict TypeError defence lives
in the classifier (isinstance, never dict-in-frozenset).
F069: a manifest-registered verb whose HTTP route is missing got FastAPI's raw
`{"detail":"Not Found"}` 404 body — a non-envelope payload the breaker
couldn't classify, so a storm bypassed it. _post now synthesizes an
invalid_state Envelope rejection (with a remediate hint → i_am_blocked/i_am_idle)
for a 404 status, routed through _record_and_check_circuit so the breaker counts
it. A 404 that carries a real Envelope (error field present) is surfaced as-is,
preserving test_flow_post_returns_envelope_on_404. TDD: 422/dict/404 tests in
both server test files; updated test_dict_shaped_error_does_not_crash to assert
the SDK is now called with not_authorized (replacing the pass-through assertion
that encoded the bug).
* [F064][F065][F066] websocket: non-blocking fan-out, finally-disconnect, idle timeout
F064: the bridge forwarder awaited every conn.send_text in a gather with no
per-connection queue and no send timeout — one slow WS client back-pressured
ALL event delivery to ALL clients (head-of-line blocking on the listen loop).
Each connect_* now registers a _ClientConnection (bounded asyncio.Queue(256) +
sender task); broadcasts enqueue via put_nowait (drop + structlog warn on
QueueFull) and return immediately. The sender drains the queue with each send
wrapped in wait_for(SEND_TIMEOUT=10s). Unregistered legacy sockets (set
directly into a subscription set, bypassing connect_*) get a timeout-bounded
fallback send task held in _pending_sends (ruff RUF006). disconnect cancels +
drops the sender.
F065: route handlers caught only WebSocketDisconnect with no finally — a
non-clean exit (anyio closed-resource, CancelledError, transport error)
propagated without manager.disconnect, leaking the dead socket into every
subscription set forever. Added finally: manager.disconnect(websocket) to all
5 handlers (disconnect is idempotent).
F066: no server-side heartbeat/idle timeout — a half-open socket from a dead
container blocked receive_text forever and was never reaped. receive_text now
wraps in wait_for(IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=90s); on TimeoutError, log + fall
through to the F065 finally. Named module constants (no config.py precedent for
WS tuning; callers/tests patch them).
TDD: 22 new tests across 3 files (handler cleanup, idle timeout, send queue),
non-flaky across repeats; 1 existing test adapted with a yield for the new
async fan-out (assertion unchanged). ruff/mypy clean, 421 unit/api tests pass.
No type:ignore/noqa.
* [F022][F023][F024][F025][F026] api: scrub secrets from 422 log, gate a2a/dashboard/orchestrator routes, SSE session-per-query
- middleware: redact known credential fields (git_token/api_key/token/...)
from the 422 request-validation log line; response body unchanged
- a2a: require_any_authenticated_agent on /message/send + /message/stream;
subscribe_to_task opens a short-lived session per poll instead of holding
one asyncpg connection for the full SSE lifetime (pool exhaustion) + auth
- dashboard: gate auditor flag/report mutating routes to Auditor or CEO
- orchestrator: router-level CEO gate on all control routes (spawn/stop/...)
TDD; ruff/mypy clean; 449 unit/api tests green; no type:ignore/noqa.
* [F030] conventions: typescript-scoped custom rules now apply to .tsx files
The validator tags a .tsx file as language 'tsx' (the JSX grammar needs
that tag, distinct from plain 'typescript'), but a custom rule scoped to
'typescript' — the language the scan reports for a React+TS repo — silently
skipped every .tsx file. The two suffix maps were NOT unified: the 'tsx'
tag is load-bearing (grammars.py picks the JSX grammar on it; hygiene.py
keys on it), so unifying would make .tsx fail to parse.
Fix is in check_custom: a one-directional dialect map _DIALECT_OF =
{'tsx': 'typescript'} — a typescript-scoped rule fires on a .tsx file,
but a tsx-scoped (JSX-only) rule still does not fire on plain .ts.
TDD; ruff/mypy clean; 80 unit + 38 integration conventions tests green.
* [F029] websocket: remove broken /api/permissions/check loopback from channel stream
channel_stream called validate_channel_access, which HTTP-loopbacked to
GET /api/permissions/check — a route that does not exist. Every call 404'd
-> False -> the channel stream closed with WS_1008_POLICY_VIOLATION for
EVERY client, so the real-time channel stream was dead. Removed the
function, its call site, and the now-unused httpx + settings imports.
Post-F004 the panel-token gate is the channel-stream authorization (the
CEO panel is the sole WS client and may view every channel), so the
broken loopback is removed rather than replaced with an in-process check
the CEO always passes. The legitimate enforcement.validate_channel_access
(slugs, in-process static ACL) is a different function and is untouched.
F027 is resolved-by-F004 (no code change): all three per-agent streams
gate on _require_panel_token first, so only the authorized CEO panel can
connect — 'any viewer subscribes to any target' is closed.
TDD; ruff/mypy clean; 530 unit/api+enforcement+RBAC tests green.
* [F078] release_executor: deadline every subprocess (git/make/gh/clone)
A hung git/make/gh/clone would block the CEO-gated release loop
indefinitely. Wrap each proc.communicate() in asyncio.wait_for via a
shared _await_proc helper; on expiry proc.kill() the child and return a
non-zero rc (124) so every caller's fail-closed branch fires. Mirrors the
quality-gate _run_one kill-on-timeout idiom.
Deadlines are generous (30min gate / 10min clone / 5min push+gh) so a
legitimate slow op is never wrongly aborted — floor-assertion tests pin
the floors to guard exactly that logical regression. Green path returns
the real rc unchanged.
* [F072] reaper: deadline docker inspect/exec + harden _check_health sweep
A hung Docker daemon (or a stuck container FS) froze the single asyncio
event loop: the reaper runs inline before every dispatch tick and shares
that loop with every background sweeper. Bound each docker subprocess
with asyncio.wait_for; on expiry proc.kill() the child and either raise
(inspect / resolve_container_id — callers apply their own fail-direction)
or return None (the gateway probe — inconclusive, caller declines to act,
matching its existing probe-failure contract). Deadlines generous
(10s inspect / 30s exec) so a legitimate slow docker call is never
wrongly aborted; floor-assertion tests pin the floors.
Also harden _check_health's per-agent loop so one agent's hung inspect
skips that agent, not the whole sweep — preserving the check-all-agents
invariant the timeout-then-raise would otherwise break (without this, a
hung daemon means no agent gets health-checked any tick).
* [F076] say/dm: handler guard rejects all 4 no-comms roles, not just auditor
The say()/dm() defence-in-depth guard only rejected auditor, but CLAUDE.md
mandates the same no-agent-comms invariant for pr_reviewer (posts findings
on the PR), prompter and secretary (human-only, note + evidence). For those
three the manifest was the only gate, so a call bypassing the manifest
(direct API POST, test harness, future routing change) would not be refused
at the handler — admission depended on the agent's slug happening to be
absent from the channel/a2a matrix. Extend the guard to a _NO_COMMS_ROLES
frozenset (auditor + pr_reviewer + prompter + secretary), matching the
explicit role-frozenset gates on commit/notify/pitch/playbook/open_session.
Role-appropriate remediation per role. The claimed defence-in-depth now
covers 4 of 4 silent roles, not 1 of 4.
* [F070] drain fire-and-forget _bg_tasks on shutdown (bounded, data-preserving)
Orchestrator.stop() cancelled only the named loop tasks + agents, then
returned, abandoning in-flight _schedule_bg work. An in-flight
_persist_respawn_record upsert dropped at shutdown meant the last few
gate-mutation strikes never reached the DB; restore_respawn_tracker() on
the next start repopulated a stale lower count and the dispatcher re-burned
the full 4-spawn strike threshold against a still-wedged task — the exact
re-burn the durable tracker exists to stop. Audit-log writes (load-bearing
for cycle-time/rework metrics) were similarly dropped.
Add _drain_bg_tasks(): bounded wait (5s default) lets short DB writes
commit before exit (data preserved), then cancels any stuck task past the
deadline so a hang can't wedge shutdown. return_exceptions=True so one
failing bg task doesn't crash the drain. Wrap the stop_agent loop in
try/except + logger.exception so one bad agent can't skip the drain
(re-introducing the data-loss tail). Floor test pins the deadline >= 3s
so a too-short change can't silently drop a legitimate slow write.
* [F071] abort non-blocking intake/secretary spawn on mid-spawn shutdown
The non-blocking spawn (start_intake_session / start_secretary_session)
schedules _spawn_intake_container_guarded / _spawn_secretary_container_guarded
via _schedule_bg. Those run docker run and only register in _instances at the
END. If shutdown arrived between docker run and the registration line, the
container was started but the orchestrator had no handle — stop() iterates
only _instances, so the container was orphaned (leaked, manual docker rm).
Worse, the F070 drain could let the spawn coroutine complete the
registration AFTER stop() already iterated _instances, landing a live
container into a shutting-down registry nothing tears down.
Add a post-docker-run shutdown guard in _spawn_intake_container and
_spawn_secretary_container: re-check self._running after _run_container_cmd
returns; if the orchestrator began shutting down, remove the just-started
container (by its deterministic name) and raise _SpawnAbortedDuringShutdown
WITHOUT registering. The guarded wrappers catch that BEFORE except Exception
and close the live relay silently (shutdown is not a user-facing failure,
no error pushed to the SSE stream). The F070 stop() drain awaits the bg
spawn coroutine, so the abort surfaces cleanly.
TOCTOU-safe: between the _running check and the _instances assignment there
is no await (config + instance construction are sync), so once the check
passes, registration completes before the event loop can interleave stop().
The normal running path is unchanged (sanity tests pin it).
* [F074] per-agent advisory lock closes claim TOCTOU
_run_claim_guards read the agent's other tasks via unlocked SELECTs
before claim() took its row lock, and claim()'s FOR UPDATE locked only
the TARGET row — so two concurrent i_will_work_on by the SAME agent on
TWO DIFFERENT pending tasks each locked their own row, each read an
empty in_progress set, each passed already_active, each claimed+started
→ the agent ended with two in_progress tasks (the in-process asyncio
Lock is lost on orchestrator-restart split-brain, so it wasn't a
DB-level guarantee).
Fix: TaskService.acquire_claim_lock takes a transaction-scoped
pg_advisory_xact_lock keyed by hashtextextended(agent_id). The gate
acquires it BEFORE the guard reads (for non-coordinator roles only) so
the second concurrent claim's read sees the first's committed
in_progress task and is rejected. Tx-scoped → auto-releases on
commit/rollback, can't outlive the request.
Coordinator exemption (the key logical-regression guard): cell_pm /
main_pm do NOT take the lock — the PM coordinator concurrency feature
lets a PM plan+delegate many roots in parallel, and a per-agent lock
would serialize those claims and regress it. Matches the existing
_COORDINATOR_ROLES already_active/paused guard exemption. A hash
collision only causes benign false serialization, never a false
negative.
Tests: unit (dev acquires lock before guard read; coordinator does
not) + real-PG integration (same-agent serializes, different-agent
does not, releases on rollback).
* [F021] handle SSE transport errors so the intake composer isn't stuck
openStream registered listeners for the server-sent event kinds but not
the EventSource's own transport-level error. The 'error' kind IS in
LIVE_EVENT_KINDS, so a server-sent event:error (JSON MessageEvent) was
handled — but a dropped connection / dead session fires a plain Event
with NO data, which JSON.parse(undefined) swallowed in the try/catch,
so the stream 'stayed open' (EventSource loop-reconnected a session that
no longer existed) and isSending stayed true — the composer was
permanently disabled.
Fix: route the 'error' event by payload. A MessageEvent with string
data is a server-sent error → handleEvent (unchanged). A no-data Event
is a transport error → handleTransportError: clear streamingId/activity,
set isSending false, add a 'connection lost' error message, keep a
draft/batch preview up (so the human can still act on a proposed card)
else land on 'chatting', and close the dead stream so EventSource stops
loop-reconnecting.
Tests: renderHook + a jsdom EventSource double that fires a transport
error (plain Event, no data) vs a server-sent error (MessageEvent +
JSON). RED: transport error left isSending true; GREEN: resets to
false, surfaces the message, closes the stream. The server-sent-JSON
path is unchanged. Full panel suite (129) green; eslint/typecheck/prettier clean.
* [F081] Approve dialog: label notes required (>=20 chars), not optional
The CEO Approve dialog's notes label fell into the default branch
('Notes (optional') for the approve action, but approve actually
requires substantive notes >= 20 chars — enforced client-side
(toast error on < 20) and server-side. So the CEO was told 'optional'
and only learned the real requirement from a toast after hitting
submit with empty notes.
approve and start both require >= 20 chars; reject only requires a
reason. Collapse the label to two branches: reject -> 'Reason for
rejection (required)'; everything else (approve + start) ->
'Approval notes (required, >= 20 characters)'. The approve
placeholder now also signals intent ('Why this is ready to ship...').
Tests: render the queue, click Approve, assert the notes label says
'required' + '20' and does NOT say 'optional'. RED: label read
'Notes (optional)'; GREEN: 'Approval notes (required, >= 20
characters)'. eslint/typecheck/prettier clean.
* [F082] surface release-proposal query failures instead of silent hide
The card collapsed any non-404 backend failure (500 / network drop) onto
`!proposal` and returned null, so the CEO had no idea the release-proposal
endpoint was unreachable. Distinguish the cases: isError + a Retry affordance
vs the 404 null empty state that stays hidden. Mirrors PrReviewQueue.
* [F083] clear stale usage snapshot when /ws/system leaves connected
The hook synced wsState into the store but never dropped usageData when the
stream dropped, so on reconnect wsState flipped to "connected" before any
fresh USAGE_SNAPSHOT arrived and UsageOverviewPanel rendered the prior
session's totals/cost as if they were live. Clear usageData whenever state
leaves "connected" so the panel falls back to the polling summary until a
new snapshot lands. Connected->connected is a no-op clear skip.
* [F084] scope per-control disable to the in-flight mutation, not all
FeatureFlagsCard disabled every switch while any one flag toggle was pending,
and PlaybookReviewQueue disabled every row's Approve while any one approve was
pending — so the operator couldn't act on an independent control during a
slow round-trip. Gate the disable on the in-flight mutation's variables
(matching key / id) so only the control being mutated locks; the others stay
usable. The same-flag double-tap protection is preserved.
* [F085] reject submitting both project_id and product_id
validate() only checked 'at least one of project/product', so the dialog let
both be submitted together. The server silently lets product_id win at routing
and drops project_id, recording a misleading, never-used repo. Add a validator
that refuses the ambiguous submit with a clear error. The at-least-one rule and
the single-pick submit paths are unchanged.
* [F020] kanban: confirm admin-override drags that skip lifecycle preconditions
A drag on the operator kanban routes the status move through the admin
status-override, which bypasses the in-band lifecycle validator entirely.
That override is intentional (it's how an operator recovers a wedged task)
but it also let a careless drag skip material preconditions silently —
completing a task with no open PR, QA-bypassing, finishing docs on a task
whose docs aren't complete.
Leave the override intact but make the bypass explicit: compute the
preconditions the dragged move would skip (open PR, docs complete,
self-verified + commits + progress for submit-qa, visible non-terminal
subtasks for coordination-root targets) and, when any are skipped, hold the
move behind a confirmation dialog that lists exactly what's being skipped.
Precision over recall — only warn on what the panel can verify from the
task and its in-list children; never fabricate a 'satisfied' claim, and
stay silent on benign transitions that gate on nothing we can check.
The admin status-override capability is preserved (Confirm still fires it);
this only surfaces the bypass instead of letting it happen silently. Does
not touch the master-merge invariant — the board's updateTask is the
operator override, not the Main-PM merge path.
* [F086] prompter: restore parked cell content on project toggle off/on
rebuildCellWork appended a blank {summary:'', items:[]} entry for a newly-
selected cell, so toggling a cell's project OFF then back ON in the MegaTask
review card discarded the agent-authored per-cell summary/items — the entry
was dropped on toggle-off and re-added blank on toggle-on.
Park each draft's last per-cell content in client-only BatchProposal state
(parkedCellWork, keyed by draft index — never sent to the backend; confirm
ships only title/drafts/project_ids/route, and it ride-alongs into the
localStorage persist slice so the restore survives a reload mid-review).
rebuildCellWork gains an optional priorByCell map: a re-added cell with no
live entry restores its parked summary/items (with the new project_id) in-
stead of blanking; a live entry still wins over a stale parked copy so an
in-place edit is never regressed. parkCellWork is the pure merge seam
(prevParked seeds, live work overwrites) the setBatchDraftProjects updater
calls — kept pure so the updater stays a thin caller.
Tests: rebuildCellWork restore/blank-fallback/live-wins + parkCellWork
retain/overwrite/merge (6 new), 19 GREEN. eslint/typecheck/prettier clean.
No wire-payload change, no regression to the fill/drop/one-repo-per-cell
invariants.
* Updated domain
* [F087,F088] enforce panel token on live-chat bridges (Phase 5)
Add a CEO-bound, header-token-only gate (require_panel_token) at the route
level of the prompter_live + secretary_live bridges, which were the only
panel-facing API surface that ran unauthenticated. It mirrors the WS
_require_panel_token and _check_agent_auth_token contracts: in dev
(ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED unset) a missing token is allowed; a
presented-but-forged token is rejected even in dev; in prod nginx already
injects the CEO-signed X-Agent-Token on /api/ for GET + POST, so the SSE
stream (EventSource can't set headers) and the POSTs are now checked instead
of anonymous. Applied to start/stream/status/messages/stop on both routers;
preview_live_batch switched from CurrentAgentContext+noqa to the route-level
gate (genuinely auth-only). confirm/confirm-batch/re-interview keep
CurrentAgentContext (they use agent.identity). The container->relay /events
callback is intentionally left ungated (internal Docker network, opaque
session id) — gated by a test sentinel so Option B (spawn+SDK token wiring)
is a deliberate future decision. No panel/nginx/spawn/SDK changes; master
merge invariant untouched. 22 new TDD auth tests, 492 api tests green.
* [F089] honest WorkSession agent_id nullability across the read path
The work_sessions.agent_id column is nullable=True with ondelete=SET
NULL — deleting an agent nulls the FK on every session it ever held. The
ORM annotation lied (Mapped[UUID] non-optional), the converter papered
over the lie (typing_cast to a non-optional UUID), and the response
model rejected None outright (WorkSessionResponse.agent_id: UUID). A
session whose agent had been deleted crashed the GET endpoint with a
pydantic ValidationError instead of serializing agent_id: null.
Make the read path honest end-to-end:
- WorkSessionTable.agent_id: Mapped[UUID | None] (matches the column).
- WorkSessionResponse.agent_id: UUID | None (serializes null, no crash).
- session_to_response passes agent_id via typing_cast('UUID | None', ...)
to bridge SQLAlchemy's UUID[Any] to stdlib uuid.UUID while preserving
None-ness (the cast stays for the same mypy-plugin reason every other
field uses one; it no longer narrows away None).
WorkSessionCreate.agent_id stays UUID — at create time the claiming
agent is always known. The unused WorkSession pydantic read model is
left as-is (never materialized from a DB row). task.py:_needs_revision_dev
already None-guards ws.agent_id via to_python_uuid (returns None -> skip).
* [F090] drop auditor from write_roles on main-pm-board / board-private
The auditor is a silent, read-only observer on every channel, but the
channel catalog (roboco/foundation/policy/communications.py) listed it
in write_roles for main-pm-board and board-private 'for parity' with the
legacy CHANNEL_ACCESS table, while the actual silent-observer rule was
enforced only at the say/dm guard (content_actions._NO_COMMS_ROLES) and
PermissionService.can_write_channel's auditor short-circuit.
That left the catalog-only enforcement path — the HTTP messaging route
(messages.py send_message -> validate_channel_access) — authorizing an
auditor write that both the say/dm guard and PermissionService would
have blocked. A reader of the catalog also believed the auditor could
post to those channels, which is false.
Fix: remove Role.AUDITOR from write_roles on both channels (main-pm
+ board remain writers; ceo remains a writer on board-private). The
auditor stays in read_roles, so its silent read is unchanged. silent_roles
is left empty (matches the announcements precedent: auditor reads via
read_roles, not the silent bucket) — the DB seed and silent_observers
field are untouched.
Logical-regression check: the auditor's read access on both channels
is byte-for-byte preserved (still in read_roles, so validate_channel_access
read returns True via the direct list); the legitimate writers (main-pm,
product-owner, head-marketing, ceo) are untouched; CHANNEL_ACCESS is
derived from the spec so the foundation/seed drift tests self-adjust;
PermissionService.can_write_channel already short-circuited auditor to
False everywhere, so no behavior change there; AUDITOR_SILENT_ACCESS is
unchanged (auditor not added to silent_roles -> no DB silent_observers
change -> no group-access behavior change); the say/dm _NO_COMMS_ROLES
guard is unchanged. Tests: 3 new in test_channel_access.py — auditor
write on main-pm-board/board-private now raises ChannelAccessDeniedError
(RED before: returned True), auditor read still True, main-pm/ceo still
write.
* [F091] warn at spawn time when host grok auth.json is missing
GrokCliProvider._append_grok_auth_mount silently skipped the mount when
the host ~/.grok/auth.json was absent. The spawn still succeeded (docker
run returned 0 — the container was created), so the operator had no
spawn-time signal that the agent was doomed: the entrypoint's
`python -m roboco.llm.providers.grok_auth --check` backstop then
refused to start (exit 78) and the failure only surfaced later via the
container's log markers.
Fix: emit a spawn-time WARNING (module logger) naming the missing file
and the remediation (`grok login` on the host, or set
ROBOCO_HOST_GROK_DIR) when the mount is skipped. The spawn outcome is
unchanged — the container still starts and the existing exit-78 -> park
flow (F041) still catches it — but the operator now sees the missing
credential immediately instead of diagnosing a later exit-78.
Logical-regression check: the mount-present path is byte-for-byte
unchanged (auth.json exists -> the -v bind is appended, no warning); the
spawn still succeeds when auth is absent (no raise — the existing
test_grok_spawn_omits_auth_mount_when_absent still passes: no mount, no
crash); the exit-78 entrypoint backstop and the orchestrator's
exit-78-park handling (F041) are untouched; a module-level logger adds no
side effects. Tests: new test_grok_spawn_warns_when_auth_absent uses
caplog to assert a WARNING mentioning auth.json + `grok login` is
emitted on a missing-credential spawn (RED before: no warning; GREEN
after). 102 grok tests green; ruff/mypy clean.
* [F092] decode JWT exp when refresh omits expires_in
xAI's refresh-token response sometimes omits expires_in. Without it the
new access token kept the stale pre-refresh expires_at, so is_valid /
--check forever rejected a fresh token — and the refresh loop re-rotated
the single-use refresh token every tick, killing the credential (F006).
The access token is a JWT whose exp is the authoritative expiry: decode it
when expires_in is absent. Fallback to the documented ~6h TTL + a structlog
warning when the JWT exp is unreadable, so a fresh token is treated as live
instead of stale.
* [F093] serialize concurrent live-chat spawns under a per-agent lock
The intake and secretary agent ids are each a single fixed id, so two
concurrent start_intake_session / start_secretary_session calls raced on
the container name (docker run --name roboco-agent-<id>) and the
_instances[<id>] write: both passed the reap-prior check before either
registered, both ran docker run, and the last _instances write won,
orphaning the other container + its relay.
Add _intake_spawn_lock / _secretary_spawn_lock (asyncio.Lock) and wrap the
_spawn_intake_container / _spawn_secretary_container bodies so the second
start waits for the first to fully register before its own reap-prior check
runs. Distinct from self._lock (which stop_agent takes) to avoid a
reentrancy deadlock: the spawn body holds the spawn lock then calls
stop_agent (acquires self._lock) — lock order is always spawn_lock ->
self._lock, never the reverse.
* [F094] add a persistent-probe-failure escape hatch to provider parking
_on_probe_failure only incremented the failure counter and, at 10 failures,
sent a one-shot CEO notification. It never cleared the tracker, never gave
up, never fell back to time-expiry. _do_probe returns False for any non-2xx
AND any httpx error, so a permanently unreachable probe endpoint (removed
API key, network partition to the probe host, misconfigured base URL) kept
the provider parked forever — every agent on it gated by
_provider_spawn_parked, their tasks reaped to pending but the spawn gate
queuing every spawn, sitting pending forever. The only recovery was the
operator manually clearing the Redis key.
Past _PROBE_GIVE_UP_THRESHOLD (30) persistent failures, fall back to the
same time-expiry optimism the unprobeable-provider path uses (_do_probe
returns True when there is no probe URL): clear the park and resume parked
agents. If the provider is genuinely still down the real workload attempts
re-park via the 429/5xx path, so this is bounded burn — strictly better
than a silent forever-strand. Kept above the CEO-notify threshold (10) so
the operator still gets the notification first.
* [F095] orchestrator: parked-provider spawn short-circuits before expensive prepare
spawn_agent ran the full _prepare_agent_spawn (writes blueprint/settings/
briefing/MCP files, ensures the image, registers a STARTING instance) every
dispatcher tick only to bail at the after-prepare parked-provider check —
wasting all that file I/O while the provider stayed parked and leaving a
STARTING instance registered then downgraded to OFFLINE.
Move the parked check before _prepare_agent_spawn: resolve the route cheaply
via _resolve_agent_route (only provider_type is needed) and bail with a
minimal unregistered OFFLINE instance. The existing-running check stays
first (inside the lock) so a live agent is never replaced; a TOCTOU
re-check guards the unlocked window before prepare; the after-prepare
check is kept as a rare-race defense (a park landing during prepare).
* [F096] orchestrator: serialize fire-and-forget respawn persists per commit order
_persist_respawn_record is fire-and-forget per gate mutation; a respawn loop
fires count 1->2->3->4 in quick succession, scheduling one persist per
increment for the same (agent_slug, task_id). The ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE upsert
is row-level race-free, but the fire-and-forget tasks can still COMMIT out of
order: a slow stale persist (count=2) scheduled first can resolve AFTER a fast
fresh one (count=4) scheduled second, leaving the durable row at the stale low
count and re-burning the strike threshold on restart.
Fix: acquire self._respawn_persist_lock (new asyncio.Lock) as the FIRST await
in _persist_respawn_record, so acquisition order = task creation order (FIFO
ready queue) = logical schedule order, and commits land in that order. The
durable row always ends at the latest logical value. The lock lives in the bg
task, so the dispatcher hot path never blocks; persists are best-effort and
a slow one queuing the rest just delays the durable catch-up (in-memory record
stays authoritative).
* [F097] orchestrator: back off grok re-park retry_after within a rate-limit episode
_probe_target returns (None, {}) for grok — the grok CLI's xAI endpoint is
closed and the SuperGrok OIDC access token is not a valid bearer for the metered
api.x.ai, so a real probe would either no-op or strand grok parked forever.
_do_probe treats url-is-None as success (time-expiry optimism), so once the
60s retry_after passes the probe loop optimistically clears the grok park, a
cleared park dispatches a fresh grok agent that hits the still-active xAI 429,
exits 75, and re-parks — a flat ~90s crash-retry cycle for the whole xAI
rate-limit window (each cycle costs container startup + a rejected grok call).
Fix: track _grok_repark_count + _grok_last_park_at in _park_grok_rate_limited
and back the re-park retry_after off exponentially within one episode
(60 -> 120 -> 240 -> ... capped at 2**4 = ~16min cycle) so the churn dampens. A
gap past _GROK_REPARK_EPISODE_GAP_S (25min, > the capped cycle) means no re-park
for that long => the rate limit actually lifted => a fresh episode resets the
count to the base 60s, so recovery latency isn't penalized across episodes.
The first park in a fresh episode is unchanged at 60s.
* [F098] orchestrator: keep waiting record through a re-park during probe-success resume
resolve_wait deleted the waiting record (in-memory + durable) BEFORE calling
spawn_agent. A re-park in the window between the probe-success clear and the
spawn — the provider's rate limit lifts then immediately re-limits, or a second
provider limit lands — bails spawn with an OFFLINE instance (the parked-provider
short-circuit). Deleting the record first orphaned the agent: with no record
the probe-resume loop can never revive it and the spawn gate bails every tick,
so the agent is lost until the operator intervenes.
Fix: spawn first, then tear down the record only once a container actually
launched (instance.state == ACTIVE). On an OFFLINE bail the record stays so the
next probe-success re-attempts the resume. On a spawn EXCEPTION the record is
torn down + re-raised so the probe loop doesn't keep re-resuming a task that
moved to a different state (e.g. readiness refused -> task auto-blocked) —
matching the pre-fix behavior where the record was deleted before the spawn.
* [F099] wire pr_pass/pr_fail self_review block in the spec gate
The pr_pass/pr_fail ActionSpecs carry self_review_block=True, but
_gate_preflight never populated Context.original_developer_slug, and
actor_slug was read off agent.slug — which GatewayAgentView does not
carry, so it was always None in production. The block was structurally
dormant: a reviewer who was also the original developer of the
assembled PR could pass (or fail) their own work. The service-layer
_validate_not_self_review backstop only covers qa/documenter, not
pr_reviewer, so the spec gate is the only defense.
Set actor_slug=str(reviewer_agent_id) (GatewayAgentView has no slug,
so the UUID is the identity) and original_developer_slug from the
original_developer marker (a UUID stored as a string). Both resolve to
UUID strings, so the spec's string-equality comparison fires when the
reviewer IS the recorded original developer.
The marker is never set on assembled coordination tasks (only on
dev-leaf tasks at QA/doc claim), so the block stays dormant by design
in production — but the gate is now correctly wired to fire if the
marker were ever set to the reviewer. Zero production behavior change;
the dormant-in-production state is pinned by the no-marker test.
* [F100] atomic Redis probe-failure counter via server-side Lua
increment_probe_failures / reset_probe_failures did a non-atomic
get_state (GET) -> mutate -> set (SET) in Python. A concurrent
activate() re-park writes a FRESH episode blob (probe_failures: 0 +
fresh activated_at / retry_after / affected_agents / kind); if the
stale increment's SET landed after the fresh activate's SET, the stale
blob overwrote the fresh episode metadata AND un-reset the counter
(clobbering the new episode).
Redis single-threads a Lua EVAL, so a server-side read-modify-write
is indivisible: activate's SET is serialized entirely before or after
the script, never interleaved between the script's GET and SET. The
two scripts mutate ONLY probe_failures, so every other episode field
survives the bump. activate stays a single atomic SET (a fresh episode
resetting the counter to 0 is correct semantics).
* [F101] enforce PR-open state gate on gateway open_pr (parity with HTTP path)
* [F102] make project_id mandatory on pr_target (close cross-repo pr_number collision)
* [F103] make project_id mandatory on close_pull_request (close cross-repo collision)
* [F104] fail-closed on conventions resolution errors (block gate no longer silently disabled)
* [F106] compound (timestamp, id) keyset cursor for message pagination
get_messages used strict timestamp inequalities with a non-deterministic
order_by(timestamp.desc()), so equal-timestamp messages were cut by limit
on one page and excluded (strict < T / > T) from the next — they vanished
across pages. Bundled the (timestamp, id) pair into a MessageCursor dataclass
so the next page resumes exactly past the cursor's id at the shared
timestamp (or_: strictly-older OR same-timestamp-smaller-id for before; the
mirror for after), with a deterministic order_by(timestamp.desc(), id.desc())
so the last-item cursor is unambiguous. id is None for a legacy timestamp-
only cursor (strict inequality, prior behavior). The route builds cursors
from the flat before/before_id + after/after_id HTTP params; the schema now
carries the tie-breaker ids. Also clears PLR0913 (cursors replace the
before_id/after_id params).
* [F107] defer Redis bus publish until DB commit (no phantom notifications)
deliver() and _persist_and_deliver() ran inside the caller's open
transaction: the notification row was flushed but not committed, yet
NOTIFICATION_SENT was published to the Redis bus immediately. A commit
failure (DB hiccup, constraint, asyncpg error) rolled the row back while
connected WebSocket clients had already received a push for an id that
no longer existed — a phantom notification (notify_get -> NotFoundError).
Added a deferred-publish (transactional-outbox) helper: defer_bus_publish
enqueues the event on session.info and registers one-shot after_commit /
after_rollback listeners on session.sync_session the first time it is
called for that session. On commit, the after_commit listener schedules
the async drain via asyncio.create_task on the running loop (the listener
fires synchronously inside await AsyncSession.commit, so the loop is
active); the task handles are stashed on the session so callers/tests can
await them. On rollback, after_rollback drops the pending queue — a
rolled-back txn emits nothing. deliver() now builds the per-recipient
events up front (data materialized to strings, so deferral is safe even
if the ORM object later expires) and defers each; the delivered_at DB
marker stays in-tx (rolls back with the row). The bus block stays
best-effort (try/except + log) so a bus-init failure never propagates or
rolls back the notification row — matching the prior inline semantics.
This fixes every deliver/_persist_and_deliver caller at once (the two
cited in F107 plus the orchestrator + task.py deliver sites), since they
all commit the session afterward (the deferred publish fires on that
commit; the row is durable by the time the event goes out).
* [F108] atomic replace_chunks: single-txn delete+insert closes reindex race
* [F109] playbook curation status guards: approve/reject draft-only, archive approved-only
* [F110] draft slug TOCTOU: catch IntegrityError on flush -> ConflictError (no 500)
* [F113] collapse WorkSession creation to the validated service path
_create_work_session_if_needed constructed WorkSessionTable directly,
duplicating WorkSessionService.create's validation (existing-active
check, single-active-per-task supersede, project/task existence). The
two sites had drifted. Route through WorkSessionService.create instead,
mapping ConflictError to the idempotent 'if needed' None. Remove the
now-dead _supersede_other_active_sessions (create's
supersede_active_sessions_for_task replaces it).
Fix three pre-existing RED tests surfaced by the sweep (all confirmed
failing on the F110 commit before this change):
- test_fail_qa_work_session_fallback_excludes_qa_session: inserted two
ACTIVE work_sessions per task, violating uq_work_sessions_one_active
_per_task (migration 047). The QA session is now ABANDONED — still in
the fallback query's result set (the query filters by task_id +
agent_id, not status), so the exclude filter (agent_id != qa_id) is
still exercised and the dev is resolved.
- test_ceo_reject_routes_coordination_task_to_main_pm /
test_ceo_reject_routes_batch_umbrella_to_main_pm: ceo_reject emits an
audit row keyed to CEO_AGENT_ID, but the tests never seeded the CEO
agent row (fk_audit_log_agent_id_agents). Seed the CEO agent (get-or-
create, mirroring test_ceo_reject_writes_handoff_journal).
* [F114] single-claimant guard on pr_gate_claim
pr_gate_claim delegated straight to _qa_or_doc_claim, which overwrites
claimed_by / active_claimant_id with no single-claimant check. Two
reviewers race-claiming the same awaiting_pr_review task would
last-write-wins overwrite the first claim, and the first reviewer's
subsequent pr_pass / pr_fail would actor-mismatch against the new owner
(wasting a review cycle). The orchestrator's gate dispatcher already
prevents double-reviewer-dispatch in normal flow (one task -> one team
-> one reviewer + is_agent_active + per-tick spawned set), so the race
is only reachable via direct concurrent API calls (defense-in-depth).
Add a role-aware single-claimant guard in pr_gate_claim: lock the row
FOR UPDATE (serialize concurrent claims, mirroring the dev claim path),
then refuse only when the task is already actively claimed by a
DIFFERENT PR-reviewer. The gate task is owned by the PM at entry
(submit_for_review does not clear ownership, unlike submit_for_qa), so
the guard must distinguish a PM/dev owner — which the first reviewer
legitimately overclaims — from a competing reviewer claim; checking the
existing claimant's role (pr_reviewer) does exactly that. A re-claim by
the same reviewer is idempotent (skipped by the != check). The gateway
claim_gate_review handler already maps a None return to a clean
invalid_state envelope ('it may already be claimed; give_me_work for
the next'), so no gateway change is needed.
TDD: 3 integration tests in test_task_service_basics.py — reject a second
reviewer race-claim (returns None, first claim intact), allow the first
reviewer when the PM owns the root (regression guard for the
PM-owns-at-entry model), idempotent re-claim by the same reviewer.
Confirmed the reject test RED first (race-claim succeeded, overwriting
reviewer1).
* [F115] sample monorepo per (repo,workflow)/(repo,command) not per repo
The CI-watch and dep-update loaders collapsed a monorepo's cell-projects
to one canonical entry per repo (slug-sorted-first), so a repo whose cells
each carry their OWN ci_watch_workflow / dep_update_command had only the
canonical cell's workflow/command sampled — a red on another cell's
workflow or drift on another cell's lockfile was missed (under-count).
Refactor the shared one-per-repo collapse into _projects_one_per_key, keyed
by repo identity for external-PR discovery (unchanged: one review per PR per
repo), by (repo, effective workflow) for CI-watch, and by (repo, command)
for dep-update. Each distinct workflow/command is now sampled once; the
engines' per-git_url fix-task dedup still prevents duplicate fix tasks for
the same repo. _projects_one_per_repo now delegates to _projects_one_per_key.
key_fn uses a string annotation (Callable lives under TYPE_CHECKING, like
the existing Coroutine/Iterable annotations at lines 4193/5279).
* [R115] originate ci_watch/dep_update fix tasks as PLANNING coordination roots
The Main-PM-code-impossibility guard (commit e202ce39, Thread 4 of this
audit) made team=MAIN_PM + task_type=CODE impossible — a Main PM coordinates,
it does not write code. But the ci_watch and dep_update engines still
originated their fix tasks as task_type=TaskType.CODE assigned to main-pm,
so task_svc.create raised MAIN_PM_NO_CODE and NO fix task was ever opened
— a regression introduced by the earlier audit fix (confirmed: the engine
tests pass at e202ce39~1 and fail at HEAD).
Mirror the hardened self_heal_engine precedent (self_heal_engine.py:197)
which already uses task_type=TaskType.PLANNING for its Main-PM coordination
root with an explicit 'decompose the fix and delegate the code work to a
cell dev — the Main PM does not write the fix itself' description. Both
engines now originate PLANNING coordination roots with matching delegation
guidance in the description + acceptance criteria. confirmed_by_human
stays True for both (they ride the normal delivery flow without the CEO
gate, unlike self-heal — intentional per the architecture).
The dedupe/open-cap queries (list_open_ci_watch_tasks /
list_open_dep_update_tasks) key on source + non-terminal status + git_url,
NOT task_type, so the type change does not break dedup (still one open fix
task per repo).
The two source-test fixtures (test_ci_watch_source / test_dep_update_source)
created CODE+MAIN_PM tasks directly to exercise the listing queries — same
guard violation; switched to PLANNING (the queries assert on source/status,
not task_type, so the fixture type matches the engines' corrected type).
* [F116] hold the read-clone lock across the dep-probe local clone
dry_upgrade_changes_lockfile called ensure_read_clone (which syncs the
read clone under the _meta-conventions lock then releases it) and ran
'git clone --local --no-hardlinks <read_clone>' OUTSIDE the lock. A
concurrent ensure_read_clone -> _sync_read_clone (fetch + hard-reset to
origin's default branch) could mutate the read clone's working tree /
object db mid-clone, racing the clone and producing an inconsistent or
failing probe.
Split _probe_lockfile_change into _clone_local_into (the local clone,
run under the read-clone lock) + _probe_lockfile_on_clone (the upgrade +
git status, run without the lock on the now-independent copy). The probe
acquires _ensure_lock_for(slug, '_meta-conventions') — the same lock
ensure_read_clone syncs under — and holds it only for the clone step; the
upgrade operates on the full --no-hardlinks copy and never touches the
read clone, so the lock is released before it to avoid blocking
conventions reads for the upgrade duration.
The tiny gap between ensure_read_clone releasing the lock and the probe
re-acquiring it is safe: any concurrent _sync_read_clone completes under
the lock before the probe acquires, so the clone reads a stable state.
* [F117] stop the orchestrator in lifespan shutdown BEFORE closing the DB
The lifespan shutdown closed OptimalService + the DB, and only THEN did
bootstrap's finally block call orchestrator.stop() — so stop() ran with
the DB already closed. stop() drains fire-and-forget _bg_tasks writes
(respawn_tracker upserts, audit-log rows) and stop_agent finalizes work
sessions / agent state, all needing the DB still open; closing it first
silently dropped those final writes (the durable PM-respawn counter's
last few strikes, the metrics-bearing audit trail tail).
Move orchestrator.stop() into the lifespan shutdown path, BEFORE
close_optimal_service + close_db, guarded by a new get_orchestrator_or_none()
safe accessor (no crash when no orchestrator is wired — tests,
skip_orchestrator). bootstrap's finally-block stop() becomes an idempotent
safety net: stop() gains a _stopped flag (getattr-guarded so __new__-
constructed test instances still stop) so the double-call is a clean no-op,
not a re-stop of already-stopped agents / re-drain of an empty bg set.
* [F118] coerce a lone-string where_to_look into a list
where_to_look is a list-typed handoff field like consequences/next_steps
but was the only one NOT in the _wrap_scalar_in_list field_validator. A
well-intentioned where_to_look='src/api/' 422'd at the route with no
remediation envelope, and the agent's retry loop tripped the do-server
circuit breaker — the exact failure mode the other list fields were
hardened against. Add it to the mode='before' validator so a lone string
is wrapped into a one-element list before type coercion.
* [F119] sender reaps dead sockets on send error instead of waiting for receive idle timeout
* [F120] release a stopped agent's claimed task immediately on budget-kill/shutdown
* [F122] name the already-open PR in submit_up's None-state remediate
submit_up's create_pr pre-side-effect opens the cell→root PR BEFORE
submit_for_review runs (its pr_created gate requires it — lifecycle.py:1338-1343).
When submit_for_review returns None (a concurrent state change raced the task
out of in_progress between the precondition gate and the composed action), the
old remediate ('check task state — must be in_progress with PR ready') hid
that the PR was already open on GitHub — an orphaned external artifact the PM
could not reconcile. Mirror submit_root's F016 None-envelope remediate: name
the open PR, point the PM at re-fetch + reconcile, and note create_pr is
idempotent so a re-issue re-attaches to the existing PR (no duplicate). Pure
message improvement — zero behavior change; reordering is off the table
(create_pr must precede the pr_created gate).
* [F124] re-check dependency state before releasing a dependency-blocked claim
The unmet_dependency guard read dependency state via an unlocked SELECT, then
fired release_dependency_blocked_claim (a state mutation: claimed/in_progress
-> pending, clears branch_name, abandons WorkSession) as a side-effect BEFORE
returning the rejection. An upstream dependency that reached a terminal state
(completed/cancelled) in the microseconds between the read and the release left
the task NEEDLESSLY released — its branch cleared + WorkSession abandoned +
assignee bounced, only to be re-dispatched + re-claimed when the dependency-
completion re-dispatch fired a moment later.
Re-check unmet_dependency_ids immediately before the release and skip it
(returning None — proceed) when the upstream just completed. Dependencies are
monotonic (unmet -> met only; terminal states never reopen), so a fresh read
that now finds them met stays met: safe to proceed without releasing. The
'still unmet' path is byte-for-byte the prior behavior (no regression). The
cross-task residual window (upstream completes between the re-check and the
release) is not closable by a row lock on the dependent, but the re-check
narrows the window from [first read -> release] to [re-check -> release], and
in the common case the first read already sees met (no guard fires). No
committed-work loss either way (a dependency-blocked task has none; the branch
ref + commits persist across the branch_name clear).
* [F125] serialize same-parent delegate via per-parent advisory lock
The delegate sibling-dedup guard read the parent's existing subtasks via an
unlocked get_subtasks SELECT (the dedup read) then created the subtask (the
write) with no DB serialization between them. Two concurrent delegate calls
for the same parent (PM re-delegating while a reaper re-dispatches, or two
orchestrator ticks racing) each read a duplicate-free sibling set, each passed
the dedup guard, and each created a subtask — the parent got the duplicate the
guard exists to prevent (the smoke-run runaway pattern).
Fix: a PostgreSQL transaction-scoped advisory lock keyed by the parent task
id (seed 1, disjoint from the per-agent claim lock's seed 0), acquired at the
top of the delegate body before the first get_subtasks read (the briefing
context read AND the dedup sibling read) and held through create_subtask's
flush + the outer request commit. The second concurrent same-parent delegate
blocks until the first commits, then its dedup read sees the committed
sibling and is rejected.
Per-PARENT (not per-agent): a coordinator PM legitimately delegates many
subtasks under one parent in quick succession and plans many roots in
parallel — a per-agent lock would serialize all of a PM's delegates and
regress the PM coordinator concurrency feature. The per-parent lock
serializes only same-parent delegates (the dedup invariant is per-parent)
and leaves different parents untouched.
TDD: red-first ordering test (lock acquired before first get_subtasks read
and before create_subtask) + no-regression test (create still runs).
* [F127] per-task advisory lock prevents open_pr milestone double-emit
open_pr's idempotent re-entry guard (pr_number is not None) read t.pr_number
from an unlocked fetch. Two concurrent same-task open_pr calls (the
alive-but-unresponsive respawn race) both fetched pr_number=None, both passed
the guard, both ran the runner (GitHub 422 ensures one PR), and both reached
_record_milestone_progress -> a double-emitted 70% 'opened PR #N' entry.
Fix: acquire_task_lock (pg_advisory_xact_lock, seed 2) before the fetch, held
through the runner + milestone + request commit. The second concurrent call
blocks until the first commits, then its fetch sees the committed pr_number
and the idempotent guard short-circuits without re-emitting. Per-task (single-
active-task guard means same-task concurrent open_pr is only the bug case).
* [F128] require active claim on explicit-task content posts
_verify_explicit_task_ownership checked assigned_to, which is stale
across a reap/handoff (persists until reassignment; active_claimant_id is
cleared on release). A reaped agent could keep posting say/dm/note to its
former task. Add the active-claimant check when assigned_to == caller;
assigned_to=None keep its existing allow (read-side inspection between
reassignments uses evidence, which has its own ownership path).
Existing 'active owner' test mocks passed assigned_to=agent_id without
active_claimant_id; production sets both together on claim, so the mocks
were incomplete. Updated to set both — realistic, not a behavior change.
* [F129,F130] harden quality gate _run_one exit status + timeout cleanup
F129: _run_one returned 'proc.returncode or 0', masking a None returncode
(communicate returned without a recorded exit code — process killed
out-of-band) as 0 / success. Treat None as a non-zero failure (fail-closed).
F130: on timeout, _run_one killed the subprocess but never awaited wait()
— communicate() was cancelled so it never closed the stdout/stderr pipes,
leaving a transient zombie + leaked FDs. Await wait() after kill() to reap
the process and close the transports.
* [F132] timeout the conventions validator + reap on hang
_run_conventions_validator awaited proc.communicate() with no timeout —
a hung subprocess (tree-sitter deadlock, huge repo) hung the
i_am_done/pr_pass gate forever and orphaned the python subprocess on
orchestrator restart. Wrap communicate() in wait_for(120s); on timeout
kill+wait the proc and fail closed (could_not_run=True → block gate
refuses the submit), matching the validator's own fail-loud philosophy.
* [F135] re-check activity before sweeper closes a session (TOCTOU)
sweep_timed_out_sessions read last_activity_at once at the candidate
SELECT, then closed. A message landing in that window refreshed
last_activity_at in the DB, but the sweeper closed on its stale in-memory
value — closing a just-used session. Re-read last_activity_at fresh right
before the close and skip if the session is no longer timed out.
* [F136] cancel startup indexing task on OptimalService.close()
close() cancelled only the periodic update task, then cleared the plugins.
The startup _indexing_task (background auto-index, slow Ollama / large repo)
could still be mid-flight at shutdown and write against closed/cleared
plugins. Cancel and await _indexing_task FIRST (its tail starts the periodic
task, so ordering also prevents a late periodic spawn), then the periodic
task, then clear plugins.
* [F139] scope active_task_owns_branch to the polled project
active_task_owns_branch did an unscoped WHERE branch_name = ? — a cross-project
branch_name collision (UUID-derived 8-char prefixes, theoretical) made the
internal-PR reviewer skip the WRONG project's PR (project A's leftover PR
skipped because project B happened to have an active task with the same
branch). Pass project_id (in scope at the orchestrator call site) and add
TaskTable.project_id == project_id to the WHERE. Correct for single-project
tasks and MegaTask multi-repo batches alike: each root-subtask carries its own
project_id matching its own repo, so a branch on project A's repo is owned
only by a task whose project_id == A.
* [sweep] strip Fxxx audit-ID tokens + trim bloated comments/docstrings + add behavior-change docs
Post-audit sweep over the 135 audit-fix commits since 19a474d3:
1. Stripped every # Fxxx: audit-ID token from comments AND every Fxxx token
from docstring openings across 211 blocks / ~626 lines. The CEO flagged
these twice: audit-issue IDs in code confuse future devs/agents. The
descriptive text is preserved; only the Fxxx token is removed (and bloated
narrative blocks trimmed to 1-3 lines keeping the one non-obvious invariant).
2. Trimmed bloated comments/docstrings to the concise standard (1-3 lines).
3. Added missing behavior-change docs for the audit-fix batch: prompts/roles
(documenter, pr_reviewer, qa), user-facing docs (api auth, websockets,
agent-gateway, megatask, merge-model, task-lifecycle, grok, resilience,
conventions, panel, security, troubleshooting), and the RAG corpus (cell-pm,
main-pm, pr-reviewer, qa roles; conventions; messaging-tools; escalation;
megatask; task-claiming workflows).
Comment/docstring/prose ONLY — zero code-line edits (verified: the diff
contains no def/class/return/if/for/await/assignment/call lines). Gates green:
ruff format + ruff check clean, mypy clean on roboco/. The only pytest failures
are the pre-existing sync_branch tracing-decision gap (B1, 250be5c2) — not
sweep-caused and tracked separately.
* [fix] register sync_branch in VERBS_WITHOUT_TRACING
sync_branch (B1, 250be5c2) is a git-only rebase+force-push verb (composes=(),
no DB transition, side_effects=()) but was never registered in the tracing
parity tables, so test_every_intent_verb_has_a_tracing_decision failed.
Mirrors open_pr: a mechanical git op with inline preconditions (ownership),
no journal/plan rationale required.
* chore(release): 0.14.0
* [fix] resolve 16 mypy errors across 9 test files (make quality gate)
type-clean the test files so make quality (mypy roboco/ tests/) is green:
- Any-typed locals for the two TypeError-asserting scoping tests (bypass
the required-arg check without getattr/ruff B009)
- Any-typed view for the shutdown-drain _drain_bg_tasks override (bypass
mypy method-assign without setattr/ruff B010)
- cast("uuid.UUID", ...) / cast("UUID", ...) for SQLAlchemy UUID[Any]
returns (TC006-quoted), config=None for AgentInstance stubs, None-narrowed
await_args, Iterator return on a yielding fixture, UUID annotation on the
_task helper. No type:ignore / noqa.
* [docs] regenerate lifecycle artifacts for sync_branch + branch-keyed submit_root gate
The committed artifacts were stale: lifecycle.py grew the sync_branch verb
(B1) and the branch-keyed submit_root gate description (B2/B3) but the
generated markdown/json were never regenerated. make foundation-check
enforces artifact==generator(lifecycle.py); regenerating restores that.
No source change — pure generator output.
* [refactor] reduce xenon C-rank blocks to A (behavior-preserving)
Extract helpers / flatten conditionals in 11 blocks that rated C(11)+
under xenon --max-absolute B, dropping pr_gate.py module rank B->A in
the process. Pure move-and-call refactors: each extracted helper holds
the original logic verbatim and the caller delegates to it; no control
flow, return values, or side effects changed.
Sites: validators._extract_strs, sequencing.dev_task_collision_edges,
evidence_builder.build_task_handoff, intake_driver._coerce_draft,
task.claim_task_for_agent (2 guards), prompter.create_task_from_draft
(validate+assignee), pr_gate._gate_decision (3 helpers),
orchestrator._handle_stopped_container + _reap_with_service,
_impl._create_subtask_from_inputs + complete.
_impl helper returns tuple[TaskNature, list[str]] to preserve mypy
narrowing of acceptance_criteria at the TaskCreateRequest site.
Also fix vulture: rename unused __aexit__ param tb->_tb in
test_conventions_cache_put.py (was hidden while xenon short-circuited
the gate).
* [security] bash-guard uv run --active deny + CodeQL path-traversal fixes
Fix 1 (be-dev-1 brick prevention): bash-guard now denies 'uv run --active'
and 'uv run'/'uvx' against /app targets. In the agent container
VIRTUAL_ENV=/app/.venv is baked globally, so 'uv run --active' always
resolves onto the image-baked MCP-gateway venv and uv rebuilds it,
deleting /app/.venv/bin and bricking every MCP server spawn. Bare
'uv run' (workspace .venv, cwd-relative) is untouched.
CodeQL fixes:
- docs.py: replace bypassable '..' substring guard with a
resolve-and-contain helper (_resolve_contained_path). An absolute
path made pathlib reset (base / '/etc/passwd' == '/etc/passwd'),
letting read_doc/delete_doc reach arbitrary files. Applied to both
sinks.
- orchestrator.py: _safe_agent_path_segment at the spawn_agent
chokepoint (rejects traversal-shaped agent_id before any fs op) and
inside _remove_container (slug guard before the log-dir mkdir,
defense-in-depth).
- agent_sdk/server.py: /usage/sync transcript_path now resolved and
contained under ROBOCO_TRANSCRIPT_DIR with a .jsonl suffix requirement
(was Path(raw) — unauthenticated endpoint could stat arbitrary files).
TDD RED->GREEN across all four; make quality green (4890 passed).
* [fix] enum-parity gate: drop false-green mask, skip empty/unmigrated DB
The foundation-check gate ran the enum verifier behind
`|| echo "(skipped — postgres unreachable)"`, which swallows ANY
non-zero exit — including real drift — and prints 'All quality gates
passed'. On a host with a dockerized but empty/unmigrated `roboco` DB
(0 tables: the agentrole/team enum types don't exist), the verifier
connected, found every foundation value 'missing', exited 1, and the
mask relabeled it 'skipped' → false-green.
Fix:
- scripts/verify_postgres_enums.py: move skip semantics INTO the script.
Distinguish unreachable (skip, exit 0), DB-not-migrated/both-enum-types-
absent (skip, exit 0), real drift (exit 1), match (exit 0). Extract
pure enum_drift + should_skip_for_unmigrated helpers + a type_exists
probe so an empty DB is 'no migrated target', not drift.
- Makefile: drop the `|| echo` mask — real drift now fails the gate.
TDD RED->GREEN (10 tests); make quality green (10906 passed).
* [security] docs path guard: reject '.'/empty segments for clean 400
_resolve_contained_path used an '..' substring ban, which (a) left rel='.'
passing the guard — read_doc/delete_doc then got the base DIRECTORY itself
and raised IsADirectoryError (500) instead of a clean ValidationError, and
(b) false-rejected legit filenames containing '..' like 'v1..v2.md'.
Replace the substring ban with a raw-segment check (rel.split('/')) that
rejects any '.', '..', or empty segment. Path(rel).parts was the wrong tool
— pathlib collapses '.' and empty segments on 3.13, hiding them. The split
check catches '.' / 'a/./b' / 'a//b' / '..' / 'a/../b' while allowing
'v1..v2.md' ('..' inside a filename, no bad segment). The post-resolve
parents-containment check (the real defense) is unchanged.
TDD RED->GREEN (4 new tests); make quality green (10910 passed).
Follow-up to the CodeQL path-traversal review: the two CodeQL 'High' alerts
on this guard are false-positives-on-the-fix (resolve-and-contain already
contains the bypass); this hardening closes the one genuine low residual
(rel='.' -> 500) the review surfaced, which CodeQL did not flag.

- 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.

* 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.

* 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 lifecycle fix routes a never-claimed (no-branch) blocked task to pending on
unblock; these two tests asserted in_progress on a no-branch task. Give them a
branch so they exercise the claimed-task resume path they intend (no-branch ->
pending is covered by new unit tests).
* 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.

* chore: clean make quality baseline on feature/lifecycle-canonical-spec
Three classes of pre-existing issues blocking `make quality`:
1. Alembic migrations 002/009/011 used runtime introspection
(op.get_bind() + inspect / bind.execute) without guarding for
offline (--sql) mode. `alembic upgrade head --sql` is part of
`make quality`; in offline mode `op.get_bind()` returns a
MockConnection with no inspection system, so the migrations
crashed before emitting their SQL stubs. Each migration now
short-circuits or simplifies in `context.is_offline_mode()` —
live-DB behavior is unchanged.
2. ruff format drift on three files left over from prior in-flight
edits (choreographer/_impl.py, content_actions.py, and one test
file). `ruff format` applied.
3. vulture flagged two unused `tb` parameters in async __aexit__
stubs in test_task_service_lifecycle_misc.py. The parameter is
protocol-required but unused by the body — renamed to `_tb`
(vulture treats underscore-prefixed names as intentionally unused).
`make quality` is now green from this branch's HEAD; subsequent
lifecycle-spec work can use it as the per-task gate.
* feat(lifecycle): canonical spec package + Role/Status/TaskType enums
Foundation for the canonical lifecycle/permissions module. Enums
mirror docs/internal/old/workflows/STATUS_TRANSITIONS.md +
PERMISSIONS.md. Tests pin enum membership against both the
predecessor canon and roboco.models.base.TaskType.
* feat(lifecycle): Decision dataclass with allow/reject/tracing_gap constructors
Single rejection shape every consumer maps to its native format
(Envelope, HTTP code, prompt hint). __post_init__ enforces the
allowed/rejection_kind invariants so a malformed Decision can't reach
a consumer.
* fix(lifecycle): tighten Decision invariants per Task 2 review
Two reviewer findings on the Task 2 Decision dataclass, addressed
in one commit:
1. The docstring promised `allowed=True ⇒ rejection_kind is None
AND missing == [] AND remediate is None`, but __post_init__ only
checked the rejection_kind half. A caller could construct an
allow-shaped Decision with stale missing/remediate fields and
sneak it past validation. Tighten __post_init__ to enforce the
full invariant. Add a regression test.
2. tracing_gap defensively copies the missing list (`list(missing)`)
to isolate the stored list from later caller-side mutation, but
no test pinned this. Add a regression test that mutates the source
list after construction and asserts the stored list is unchanged.
Issue 2 from the same review (mutable list vs tuple for `missing`)
is a broader design call deferred until consumers exist; the
defensive copy is sufficient until then.
* feat(lifecycle): Precondition/ActionSpec/IntentSpec/StatusTransition dataclasses
The four dataclasses that hold the canonical tables. ActionSpec and
StatusTransition are direct ports of pre-gateway PERMISSIONS.md +
STATUS_TRANSITIONS.md rows. IntentSpec is the gateway-only addition:
each gateway intent verb declares which atomic actions it composes.
* feat(lifecycle): _STATUS_TRANSITIONS table + STATUS_GRAPH view
Direct port of STATUS_TRANSITIONS.md. Every transition records its
trigger action and (optionally) a role constraint. STATUS_GRAPH is
the precomputed source→{targets} view callers use for reachability
checks.
* fix(lifecycle): pin role_constraint values + clarify Task-5 handoff
Two reviewer findings on Task 4 _STATUS_TRANSITIONS, addressed in
one commit:
1. The original Task-4 tests verified (source, target) pairs but
not role_constraint contents. A typo in a single role name (e.g.
forgetting MAIN_PM from escalate_to_ceo) would have slipped past
them silently. Add test_status_transitions_role_constraints_match_canon
pinning every non-None constraint and the cancel-block invariant.
2. role_constraint=None on the `claim` rows from PENDING and
NEEDS_REVISION was load-bearing — it is the explicit handoff
point between the StatusTransition table (state machine layer)
and CLAIM_RULES (per-role claim authority, lands in Task 5).
The original inline comment said this in passing; expand it so
the design choice is unmissable for a stranger reading just
spec.py.
* feat(lifecycle): _ATOMIC_ACTIONS + CLAIM_RULES + ROLE_TEAM_RULES tables
Direct port of PERMISSIONS.md. Every task management tool gets an
ActionSpec with allowed_roles, source_statuses, target_status,
self_review_block, and needs_team_match flags. CLAIM_RULES maps each
Role to the statuses they can claim from. ROLE_TEAM_RULES is the
per-slug team restriction.
* fix(lifecycle): tighten ActionSpec contracts per Task 5 review
Three reviewer findings on Task 5's _ATOMIC_ACTIONS table, addressed
in one commit:
1. set_plan.source_statuses widened to {CLAIMED, IN_PROGRESS} but
every existing caller (i_will_work_on / i_will_plan compositions)
runs set_plan while CLAIMED, between claim and start. Narrow to
{CLAIMED} only. If a future "edit plan mid-flight" feature lands,
widen explicitly with test coverage at that time.
2. needs_team_match was set True only on claim/qa_pass/qa_fail/
docs_complete. Defense-in-depth says every role-scoped task
action should re-assert team match (don't rely on the inheritance
chain through assigned_to alone). Flip to True on: start,
set_plan, block, pause, submit_verification, submit_qa,
submit_pm_review, complete, create_subtask. Leave False on
board/CEO actions and PM cross-cell interventions (unblock,
resume, cancel) where the cross-cell semantics are intentional.
3. claim.source_statuses is intentionally a SUPERSET of any single
role's CLAIM_RULES allowance (the table holds the union; CLAIM_RULES
holds the per-role authority). Add an inline comment above the
claim ActionSpec so a future reader doesn't conclude the two
tables disagree — they don't, they encode overlapping facts at
different grains.
* feat(lifecycle): _INTENT_VERBS table — every gateway verb declared
Each gateway intent verb is now a named composition of atomic actions
plus optional side effects. i_will_work_on = (claim, set_plan, start);
i_am_done = (submit_verification, submit_qa); open_pr is pure side
effects (push_branch, create_pr); etc.
* fix(lifecycle): widen block.allowed_roles to include QA + Documenter
Task 6 review caught a role-set inconsistency: i_am_blocked.allowed_roles
admits dev/QA/doc, but the underlying block.allowed_roles only allowed
dev+PM. Result: a QA or documenter calling i_am_blocked would pass the
IntentSpec gate and then be rejected by the composed ActionSpec gate
when Task 7 wires can_invoke_intent.
Widen block to include QA + Documenter. The semantic case is sound: a
QA reviewing a task can discover an external blocker; a documenter
writing docs may need PM intervention. Predecessor PERMISSIONS.md
restricted block to dev+PM, but with the gateway exposing i_am_blocked
to all worker roles, the underlying atomic must agree.
The deeper unclaim/escalate_up "imperative verb" concern from the same
review (composes=() but mutates state) is deferred to Task 8 where the
validator design lands.
* feat(lifecycle): public lookup functions + Context + preconditions
can_claim, can_invoke_action, can_invoke_intent, valid_next_verbs,
composed_actions_for, intents_for_role, status_after — the entire
public surface every consumer will use. Context carries the
caller-supplied state preconditions need (plan, journal-decision
flag, etc.). Preconditions for plan/commits/no_pr/ownership are
declared once and wired into the relevant IntentSpecs.
* fix(lifecycle): wire PRECONDITION_OWNERSHIP through Context.actor_id
Task 7 review found _p_owns_task reads agent.id but every call site
passes None for the agent arg. Result: getattr(None, "id", object())
returns a fresh sentinel, task.assigned_to == <sentinel> is always
False, and open_pr / i_am_done would reject every owner the moment
Task 9 wires consumers.
Fix: thread identity through Context.actor_id (new UUID field) and
rewrite _p_owns_task to read from the context. Both call sites already
pass the Context — no signature changes elsewhere. Add green-path
test exercising the owner-can-open-pr case the existing tests
missed (the Task 7 plan only tested precondition-failure paths,
which masked the bug).
Plus surface hygiene: STATUS_GRAPH, CLAIM_RULES, ROLE_TEAM_RULES,
and the four PRECONDITION_* constants are now in
roboco.lifecycle.__init__.__all__ so consumers in Tasks 8/9 don't
depend on the implicit `from roboco.lifecycle.spec import ...`
backdoor.
* feat(lifecycle): import-time self-consistency validators
10 validators run at module import; first failure raises
LifecycleSpecError and prevents the package from loading. Covers
status enum coverage, reachability, terminal exits, intent
compositions, status chain consistency, claim-rule role/status
coverage, self-review symmetry, team-rule slug existence, and
StatusTransition action references.
* fix(lifecycle): close validator gaps; resolve BACKLOG-claim and submit_qa IN_PROGRESS-shortcut ambiguity
Three reviewer follow-ups on Task 8's _validate.py, plus two real
data corrections the new action-target-reachability validator
surfaced.
1. Design spec §9 calls for "every ActionSpec.target_status, when
set, is reachable from each source_status via STATUS_GRAPH" —
missing from Task 8's 10 validators. Add
_check_action_target_reachable_from_source.
2. _check_role_team_rules_slugs verified slug existence in
AGENT_UUIDS but NOT that the cell team in ROLE_TEAM_RULES
matches the seed. Add _check_role_team_rules_team_match,
scoped to non-None entries only — None means "exempt from
team-match enforcement" (cross-cell roles), not "no team in
org chart".
3. test_validators_pass_on_real_spec was ceremonial. Add
test_run_all_validators_raises_on_unknown_intent_action,
a deliberate-break regression that monkeypatches _INTENT_VERBS
to inject a fake action and asserts LifecycleSpecError raises.
The new action-target-reachability validator caught two real
data inconsistencies between the predecessor canon docs and the
spec tables:
A. claim.source_statuses listed BACKLOG and CLAIM_RULES[*PM]
listed BACKLOG, but STATUS_GRAPH[BACKLOG] = {PENDING, CANCELLED}
only. Resolution: PMs use the explicit \`activate\` action to
move BACKLOG → PENDING, then claim from PENDING. Drop BACKLOG
from claim.source_statuses and CLAIM_RULES.
B. submit_qa.source_statuses listed IN_PROGRESS, but
STATUS_GRAPH[IN_PROGRESS] does NOT include AWAITING_QA. The
intent verb i_am_done composes (submit_verification, submit_qa)
which forces IN_PROGRESS → VERIFYING → AWAITING_QA — no
shortcut. Drop the stale IN_PROGRESS entry from
submit_qa.source_statuses.
Both corrections tighten the canonical state machine to a strict
no-skip transition graph. Pre-gateway PERMISSIONS.md/STATUS_TRANSITIONS.md
disagreements are resolved here; spec.py is the canon now.
* feat(gateway): Envelope.from_decision maps lifecycle Decisions to envelopes
Single shape adapter so verb bodies stop hand-composing rejection
envelopes. Each rejection_kind maps to a specific envelope flavor;
'self_review' folds into 'not_authorized' with a parenthetical hint;
constructing from an allow Decision raises (programmer error).
* feat(gateway): VerbRunner for atomic composed-action dispatch
Wraps spec.composed_actions_for(intent) in session.begin_nested()
so mid-sequence failures roll the DB back. Side effects run AFTER
the savepoint commits. Each atomic action name dispatches to a
TaskService method via a single, exhaustive _dispatch_atomic
mapping. New verbs slot in by adding an IntentSpec entry + a
_dispatch_atomic case if a new atomic is needed.
* refactor(gateway): i_will_work_on uses spec.can_invoke_intent + VerbRunner
Replace the bespoke status-branch dispatcher in i_will_work_on with the
spec-driven flow: load task -> load agent -> build spec.Context ->
spec.can_invoke_intent (and spec.can_claim for per-role status authority)
-> Envelope.from_decision on rejection -> VerbRunner.run_intent on success.
The _i_will_work_on_pending, _i_will_work_on_claimed,
_i_will_work_on_needs_revision, and _start_failed_envelope helpers are
removed; the runner replaces them. Two narrow verb-body re-entry blocks
remain for behaviors the spec does not yet model:
1. in_progress + same agent -> idempotent heartbeat-only return
2. claimed + same agent -> _resume_from_claimed (set_plan + start)
to recover from a stuck mid-claim crash without re-running claim
against a state the spec excludes.
The behavioral claim guards (already_active / paused / sibling_sequence)
also stay imperative for now -- they're not in the spec yet and migrate
into spec.extra_preconditions in a later task. Per-role claim authority
is enforced via spec.can_claim because the atomic claim action's
source_statuses are the union across roles; CLAIM_RULES narrows.
Parity test in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py runs the verb
against every (role x status x task_type='code') combo (112 rows) and
asserts the envelope error matches the spec's Decision (or can_claim's
Decision when the intent gate passes but per-role claim authority does
not). This is the contract that makes spec/verb drift impossible.
Existing tests updated where rejection-message text changed (the spec
now produces the messages, e.g. "role 'cell_pm' may not call
'i_will_work_on'" instead of "PM cannot execute code") or where the
spec's stricter view ("invalid_state" -> "not_authorized" for a dev
trying to claim awaiting_qa) is more accurate. Test fixtures were
updated to wire task.session.begin_nested as a proper async context
manager (required by VerbRunner) and to set agent_for().id so runner-
driven calls line up with assert_awaited_with(task_id, agent_id).
* refactor(lifecycle): push CLAIM_RULES enforcement into can_invoke_action
Task 11's i_will_work_on migration had to call spec.can_claim()
separately after spec.can_invoke_intent() because the claim action's
source_statuses is the union across all claim-eligible roles —
can_invoke_intent alone would let a developer pass for claiming
awaiting_qa (a QA-only state).
The retrofit pattern would repeat in every claim-composing verb
(i_will_plan, claim_review, claim_doc_task). Push the per-role
narrowing inside can_invoke_action when the action is "claim",
using the same not_authorized vs invalid_state disambiguation
can_claim already implemented (status-reserved-for-another-role
returns not_authorized; status-no-role-can-claim returns
invalid_state). Extracted the body to _check_claim_rules_narrow
to keep can_invoke_action under xenon's complexity threshold.
Update _i_will_work_on_gate to drop the redundant spec.can_claim
call. Update test_consumer_parity.py to assert only against
can_invoke_intent's Decision.
Tasks 12-22 will inherit the cleaner pattern: spec.can_invoke_intent
is the single gate; verb bodies don't need per-action retrofits.
* refactor(gateway): i_will_plan uses spec.can_invoke_intent + VerbRunner
Migrates i_will_plan to the spec-driven pattern Task 11 set up for
i_will_work_on. The verb body now: (1) loads task + agent, (2) builds
Context, (3) checks idempotent/recovery re-entry, (4) calls
spec.can_invoke_intent, (5) returns Envelope.from_decision on
rejection, (6) delegates composition to VerbRunner. The
_i_will_plan_* helpers are removed — the runner replaces them.
Parity test in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py runs the verb
against every (role × status × task_type) combo and asserts the
envelope matches spec.Decision.
* refactor(gateway): delegate uses spec.can_invoke_intent for role/state gate
Migrates delegate to the spec-driven role/state gate. The chain
validation (main_pm->cell_pm, cell_pm->its team's devs), the
assignee-vs-task_type rule (Cell PMs receive planning-typed only),
the enum coercion, and the parent-lifecycle/cap guards STAY in the
verb body — they encode delegate-specific semantics the spec
doesn't model.
Parity test in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py asserts the
spec's role+state rejection is correctly surfaced. Chain/assignee
rejections continue to be tested in test_choreographer_pm_extras.
* refactor(gateway): open_pr uses spec.can_invoke_intent + VerbRunner
Migrates open_pr to spec-driven gating. The spec's
extra_preconditions (PRECONDITION_OWNERSHIP, PRECONDITION_COMMITS,
PRECONDITION_NO_PR) handle all three precondition checks; the verb
body delegates side-effect dispatch (push_branch, create_pr) to
VerbRunner.
Idempotent re-entry retained: an open_pr call against a task that
already has a PR (and the caller owns it) returns OK without
re-opening, rather than the tracing_gap the spec would otherwise
produce. This preserves agent ergonomics — two calls in a row
shouldn't surface a misleading "no_prior_pr" hint.
Parity test in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py runs the verb
against representative (status x commits x pr_number) combos and
asserts the envelope matches spec.Decision.
* refactor(gateway): i_am_done uses spec.can_invoke_intent + VerbRunner
Migrates i_am_done to spec-driven gating. The spec's
extra_preconditions (PRECONDITION_OWNERSHIP, PRECONDITION_COMMITS)
handle ownership and commit-count checks; VerbRunner dispatches
the (submit_verification, submit_qa) atomic chain.
The tracing-gate preconditions (progress entry, journal:reflect,
acceptance criteria) and the field-level submit-qa gates stay in
the verb body — they model gates the spec doesn't yet cover.
Defense-in-depth: those gates run after the spec accepts the
ownership/commits checks.
Parity test in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py runs the
verb against (role × status × ownership × commits) and asserts
the envelope matches spec.Decision.
* refactor(gateway): i_am_blocked uses spec.can_invoke_intent + VerbRunner
Migrates i_am_blocked to spec-driven gating. The journal:struggle
write stays in the verb body (it's a side effect outside the
lifecycle action). VerbRunner dispatches the `block` atomic action
via task_service.escalate.
Parity test in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py.
* refactor(gateway): unclaim and resume use spec.can_invoke_intent
Migrates both verbs to the spec-driven gate. unclaim's verb body
keeps its dispatch (task.unclaim_for_agent) because composes=();
resume goes through VerbRunner with composes=("resume",).
The reassignment-rejection branch (introduced in 19f27b4 for the
2026-05-08 trace's "not your claim" case) stays - the spec doesn't
model "task got reassigned out from under you by an upstream verb,"
and the existing envelope text ("current owner: X - call
give_me_work() to find your current work") is the load-bearing
hint that fixed the original bug. Extracted the shared branch into
_reassigned_rejection / _ReassignedCtx so both verbs reuse it
without duplicating the envelope construction.
Parity tests in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py.
* refactor(gateway): complete uses spec.can_invoke_intent at the dispatcher
Migrates the top-level `complete` dispatcher to gate role/state via
spec.can_invoke_intent before routing to cell_pm_complete or
main_pm_complete. The two lower-level methods keep their existing
PR-merge / CEO-escalation logic and pre-flight guards (those model
journal:decision preconditions and PR-mergeability checks the spec
doesn't model yet).
The runner pattern is NOT applied here — `complete` has two divergent
runtime paths (Cell PM merges leaf into parent branch; Main PM opens
master PR + escalates to CEO) that don't fit the runner's
single-composition model. Verb-body-owns-dispatch is the right
pattern.
Parity test in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py runs the
verb against (role × status) combos and asserts the dispatcher's
spec rejection is correctly surfaced.
* refactor(gateway): escalate_up, escalate_to_ceo, submit_up use spec.can_invoke_intent
Migrates the three PM-side escalation/submission verbs to
spec-driven role/state gating. The verb-specific guards
(journal:decision, escalation_target configured, _submit_up_guard's
ownership + notes-length + subtasks-terminal) STAY in the verb body
- the spec doesn't model these.
escalate_up has composes=() so the verb body owns dispatch via
task.escalate. escalate_to_ceo and submit_up route their
compositions through VerbRunner.
Parity tests in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py.
* refactor(gateway): qa.py + doc.py role mixins use spec.can_invoke_intent
Migrates the five QA + Documenter verbs (claim_review, pass_review,
fail_review, claim_doc_task, i_documented) to spec-driven gating.
The self-review block lives at the atomic-action layer
(_ATOMIC_ACTIONS["qa_pass"|"qa_fail"|"docs_complete"].self_review_block=True)
and naturally fires when the verb body builds a Context with
actor_slug==original_developer_slug. No verb-body retrofits needed.
The verb-specific helpers (_verify_qa_owner, _qa_pass_gate_check,
_check_i_documented_inputs) STAY — they encode notes-length /
journal:learning / files-list / qa_evidence_inspected gates the
spec doesn't model.
claim_review and claim_doc_task own dispatch via task.qa_claim /
task.doc_claim respectively (not the runner) because those
specialized claim methods keep status at AWAITING_QA /
AWAITING_DOCUMENTATION, which is what the downstream qa_pass /
qa_fail / docs_complete source-status requirement expects.
The spec gate still validates role + claim source-status + task_type
before dispatch.
pass_review / fail_review / i_documented route their compositions
(qa_pass / qa_fail / docs_complete) through VerbRunner.run_intent
inside a savepoint.
Parity tests in tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py for all
five verbs.
* fix(lifecycle): claim_review and claim_doc_task have empty composes
Tasks 21-22 surfaced a real spec/runtime mismatch: both verbs were
declared composes=("claim", "start"), but the actual implementation
uses task.qa_claim / task.doc_claim which intentionally keep status
at AWAITING_QA / AWAITING_DOCUMENTATION. If the runner ever ran the
declared composition, it would transition the task to CLAIMED then
IN_PROGRESS, breaking the source-status invariants of qa_pass,
qa_fail, and docs_complete.
The spec is the canon — align it to the runtime. composes=() means
"verb body owns dispatch" (same pattern as escalate_up and unclaim).
The spec gate still validates role + AWAITING_QA / AWAITING_
DOCUMENTATION source-status via the role's CLAIM_RULES narrowing,
enforced through special handling in can_invoke_intent, so role/state
safety is preserved.
* refactor(gateway): role_config flow lists derived from spec.intents_for_role
Hand-maintained _DEV_FLOW etc. tuples replaced with calls into the
spec. Adding/removing a role from an IntentSpec.allowed_roles now
automatically updates the MCP manifest. The spec is the canon;
role_config becomes a thin shim that adds the do-tool / write /
subagent / description metadata the spec doesn't carry.
* feat(lifecycle): generators + make lifecycle for deterministic artifact regen
Renders intent-verbs.md, status-transitions.md, panel/lib/lifecycle.json,
and per-role agents/prompts/_generated/lifecycle-{role}.md fragments
from the canonical spec. `make lifecycle` runs the regenerator;
deterministic output enables CI to gate on `git diff --exit-code` after
running it. The agent prompt fragments will be injected at the top of
each role's system prompt (Task 25) so agents see the same verbs the
gateway accepts.
* feat(lifecycle): inject generated prompt fragments + CI drift gate
Each agent's system prompt now starts with the spec-generated
'verbs available to your role' fragment. CI runs make lifecycle
and fails if regeneration produces a diff — drift between spec
and artifacts cannot land on master.
* refactor(gateway): delete verb_gates.py — superseded by lifecycle.spec
verb_gates.is_verb_allowed and verb_gates.valid_next_verbs are now
spec.can_invoke_intent(...).allowed and spec.valid_next_verbs.
Importers updated to consume the canonical spec module directly.
tests/unit/gateway/test_verb_gates.py removed — coverage lives in
tests/lifecycle/test_spec.py.
envelope.with_introspection wraps spec.valid_next_verbs with role-string
coercion + best-effort try/except so malformed task fixtures (AsyncMock
status) and unknown role strings still yield [] instead of raising —
preserves the legacy verb_gates contract.
content_actions content-tool RBAC (commit/notify) is now a pair of
explicit role frozensets in this file. These are content tools, not
lifecycle intents, so they intentionally do NOT live in spec._INTENT_VERBS.
Two existing introspection tests asserted "commit" in valid_next_verbs;
fixed to assert open_pr/i_am_done — commit is correctly absent under
the canonical spec because it is a do-server content tool, not a flow
intent verb.
* refactor(gateway): collapse scattered role constants into spec
The pm_cannot_execute_code_guard and role_typed_claim_guard guards
both modeled rules the spec now handles via can_invoke_action's
CLAIM_RULES narrowing and ActionSpec.allowed_task_types. Drop them
from claim_guards.py — the choreographer's existing skip-flags on
_run_claim_guards are now permanent: those guards no longer fire.
Simplify _run_claim_guards's signature accordingly.
The concurrency-invariant guards (already_active_guard,
paused_tasks_guard, sibling_sequence_guard) STAY — the spec doesn't
model these system-level invariants. sibling_sequence_guard's loop
body extracted into _earlier_blocking_sibling helper to keep the
slimmed module under xenon's --max-modules A average.
* refactor(enforcement): task_lifecycle becomes a thin view of lifecycle.spec
VALID_TRANSITIONS and ROLE_RESTRICTED_TRANSITIONS are now derived
from roboco.lifecycle.spec — no independent tables. The 433-line
file collapses to ~30 lines of view definitions; future changes
go in spec.py. Helper functions exported by the legacy module are
preserved as thin wrappers so existing consumers don't need to
change their imports today.
A small _LEGACY_OPERATIONAL_EDGES table sits alongside the
spec-derived view to cover transitions the runtime exercises but
the spec has not yet absorbed (voluntary unclaim, reaper sweep,
PM-direct completes from in_progress, parallel-doc-PR developer
trigger). It is fenced and clearly documented; once those callers
are migrated to spec-driven dispatch the constant goes empty and
the file collapses to a pure view.
A test in test_task_service_lifecycle_misc.py was rewritten: the
predecessor asserted CEO-only authority over awaiting_ceo_approval
cancels (legacy table behavior), but the canonical spec authorizes
{CELL_PM, MAIN_PM, CEO} uniformly across all non-terminal cancel
sources. The test now exercises the broader spec-defined cascade.
* feat(lifecycle): UNMIGRATED guard pins known-debt consumers
Two pieces of debt surfaced during Task 28's collapse of
enforcement/task_lifecycle.py: (1) ~11 operational edges still in
the shim's _LEGACY_OPERATIONAL_EDGES because the spec's
_STATUS_TRANSITIONS doesn't yet model them; (2) role-gate
disagreements in _LEGACY_ROLE_GATES that the spec disagrees with.
UNMIGRATED is the named-debt set; KNOWN_UNMIGRATED_CONSUMERS pins
the catalog so a contributor adding a new entry must update both
sides. Validator (_check_unmigrated_is_subset) fires at import if
they drift. Test pins the current entries.
Phase 3's terminal invariant is `UNMIGRATED == frozenset()` —
expected when both legacy data carriers fold into spec, at which
point the assertion becomes a permanent regression guard.
* test(lifecycle): tier 3 end-to-end real-DB happy paths
Eight integration tests covering every major lifecycle path:
dev (pending → awaiting_qa), QA pass, QA fail, doc handoff,
Cell PM complete, Main PM escalate-to-CEO, block+unblock,
pause+resume. Each test drives the spec → choreographer →
TaskService → DB stack with only the git layer mocked. Catches
"spec says X, DB constraint says Y" mismatches the unit-tier
parametrized parity suite cannot detect.
* test(lifecycle): tier 4 smoke replay — pin known-bug shapes after spec migration
Synthesized fixture covering the 9 bugs from the 2026-05-08
audit-log trace + the 2 from the 2026-05-09 follow-up trace. Each
record documents (verb, role, task setup, expected post-fix
envelope shape, fix commit, spec invariant). The replay test
parametrizes over the records and asserts the spec / choreographer
behavior now matches the post-fix expectation — locks in the
fixes as permanent regressions.
The original audit log was wiped during cleanup; the fixture is
a documented synthesis, not a verbatim capture. The bug list is
faithful to the prior session's analysis of the trace.
* fix(orchestrator): silence dev-dispatcher noise for non-dev-lane tasks
Dev dispatcher fetched all pending/claimed/in_progress tasks regardless
of assignee role and warned 'role/task_type mismatch' on each pass when
it found cell_pm/main_pm/product_owner/etc. tasks — those belong to
_dispatch_pm_work, not this lane. The 30s warning loop showed up
prominently in the 2026-05-10 smoke run.
Filter at the lane boundary: silently skip when assignee role is not
developer/documenter/unknown. The D-49 misassignment warning still
fires for the legitimate cases (developer assigned a documentation
task, etc.).
* fix(gateway,prompts): unblock the three smoke-run dead-ends
Three issues surfaced by the 2026-05-10 smoke run, fixed together
because they're all blockers for end-to-end task completion:
1. Acceptance-criteria tracing gate was unsatisfiable. Nothing in the
codebase writes to task.acceptance_criteria_status, so
_check_acceptance_criteria always returned every criterion as
missing. Treat a reflect note as the addressing artifact: when the
agent has written one, the gate clears. Per-criterion citation via
acceptance_criteria_status is still honored when populated, so the
schema stays available for future per-criterion tracking.
2. Cell PM runaway re-decomposition. On every wake-up be-pm
re-decomposed its parent task without checking for existing
children, producing duplicate dev subtasks. cell_pm.md now teaches
'list children before delegating' and 'one dev subtask is usually
enough — QA/Documenter/PM-merge engage automatically'. Added
anti-pattern entries for re-decomposition and over-decomposition.
3. Main PM exit/respawn loop on claimed-state tasks. The model
cycled through delegate/resume/escalate/unblock looking for a verb
that worked on 'claimed', and got cleanly rejected by every one.
The right verb is i_will_plan (it composes claim+set_plan+start
and resumes from claimed). main_pm.md now spells this out
explicitly with a worked example of which verbs reject and why.
* feat(prompts): restore pre-gateway lifecycle scaffolding across all 6 roles
The gateway migration shrank role prompts from ~50 lines to ~15
(commit 534152c for dev; analogous shrinks for qa/doc/cell_pm/main_pm/board
in e12a596, 05ac832, 8dc381b). The verb surface got cleaner but the
prescription for using verbs through the lifecycle disappeared. The
2026-05-10 smoke run surfaced the regression: agents thrash through
verbs hoping one fits, journal sparsely, skip the dev reflect note,
and (for cell PMs) re-decompose on every wake-up.
Each role prompt now restores three sections that the pre-gateway
versions had:
1. State -> Verb table — what to call when respawned in each
lifecycle status. Eliminates the verb-cycling antipattern: the
agent looks up its current status and calls the one verb that
transitions out of it.
2. Mandatory pre-handoff checklist — explicit walk-through of the
gates the next verb will check, ordered so the agent fixes the
missing piece before retrying:
- developer: 7 items before i_am_done
- qa: 8 items before pass/fail (incl. self-review forbidden,
read dev journal not just diff, name artifact per criterion)
- doc: 7 items before i_documented
- cell_pm: 7 items before submit_up (incl. integration green)
- main_pm: 7 items before complete(root)
- board: separate checklists for escalate_to_ceo (PO/HoM) and
reflect-note quality (Auditor — its only output)
3. Journaling cadence — when to use each of the five scopes
(note/decision/struggle/learning/reflect). The pre-gateway
prompts named all five scopes with role-specific examples;
the post-gateway prompts mention 'reflect' once and skip the
rest. Restored across every role.
Plus restored the load-bearing rules that got dropped:
- Cell PM: 'A SINGLE subtask flows through dev -> QA -> doc ->
PM-merge. DON'T split into per-role subtasks.' This is exactly
what be-pm violated in the smoke run, creating duplicate
'branch naming subtask' / 'PR workflow subtask' / etc.
- QA + Doc: 'read the dev's journal, not just the diff' — pre-
gateway forced this via roboco_journal_read_team; post-gateway
the inline data exists but the agent isn't told to use it.
- Developer: 'every acceptance criterion gets a citation in the
reflect note' — pairs with the tracing-gate change in 75b667d
where the reflect note is treated as the addressing artifact.
* feat(foundation): bootstrap foundation/identity.py with Role/Team/RoleLevel
Phase 1 task 1 of the foundation canonicalization plan
(docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-10-foundation-canonicalization-design.md).
Three enums, no consumers yet — separate tasks migrate the existing
forks (models.base.AgentRole, lifecycle.spec.Role, agents_config role
sets, services/permissions.PM_ROLES) onto this canonical surface.
* feat(foundation/identity): add AGENTS catalog (single source for slug->role+team+UUID)
Resolves head-marketing.team drift (spec §5.1) by setting Team.BOARD
authoritatively. Team.MARKETING remains in the enum for legacy seed
data but no agent claims it; flagged for removal in cleanup.
* feat(foundation/identity): add role-sets + ROLE_LEVEL hierarchy
* feat(foundation/identity): add lookups + public API re-exports
* feat(foundation): import-time validators (uniqueness, role coverage, role-level)
* chore(foundation): verify+align postgres agentrole/team enums with foundation/identity
scripts/verify_postgres_enums.py reads the live agentrole+team enums
from postgres (via asyncpg using roboco.config.settings.database_*)
and compares them against the foundation Role+Team enums. Exits 0 on
match, 1 on drift (with a per-side diff), and 1 with a clear message
if postgres is unreachable so callers like make foundation-check can
treat that as a skip.
alembic/versions/012_align_agentrole_team_with_foundation.py is the
forward-only safety-net migration. It runs ALTER TYPE agentrole ADD
VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'system' (idempotent on postgres >= 9.6) so any
DB without the recently-added Role.SYSTEM sentinel gets it on next
upgrade. Postgres has no DROP VALUE primitive without a destructive
type recreation, so foundation keeps legacy values (e.g. Team.MARKETING)
to absorb the inverse direction; the migration's downgrade is
intentionally a no-op.
Local verification deferred: postgres is not reachable from this
workstation (role 'roboco' does not exist), so the script could not
confirm the live enum shape. The migration is idempotent and runs
unconditionally on the next alembic upgrade head, and whoever next
runs make foundation-check against a live DB will get the post-migration
proof of alignment.
* refactor(lifecycle): re-export Role from foundation.identity (single source)
* refactor(models): re-export AgentRole and Team from foundation.identity
Removes the parallel Team and AgentRole StrEnum definitions in
models/base.py. They are now bound to roboco.foundation.identity.Role
and roboco.foundation.identity.Team respectively, so AgentRole IS
identity.Role (same Python class object). SQLAlchemy column types
bound as sa.Enum(AgentRole, name='agentrole') continue to work because
identity is preserved across import paths.
Note: foundation.Team drops the legacy 'fullstack' member that lived
on models.base.Team. The two _resolve_team_dir tests that used
Team.FULLSTACK to exercise the 'fullstack' branch now pass the literal
string 'fullstack' instead — same code path, no enum-membership coupling.
Adds two identity assertions to tests/foundation/test_role_reexport.py
verifying AgentRole is identity.Role and Team is identity.Team.
* fix(foundation): correct Team enum — add FULLSTACK, remove QA
The original plan's audit incorrectly identified the models/base.Team
membership. Actual original was 7 values: backend, frontend, ux_ui,
fullstack, main_pm, board, marketing. My plan replaced fullstack with
qa and added system — but qa was never a team (only a role).
Postgres team enum has fullstack (alembic 009), and services/task.py:675
+ services/git.py:779 branch on the literal "fullstack". Without
foundation.Team.FULLSTACK, any Project row with assigned_cell="fullstack"
would fail to round-trip through the SQLAlchemy ORM.
This correction:
- Adds FULLSTACK; removes QA from foundation.Team
- Updates the 8-value test expected set
- Restores tests/integration/test_task_service_misc.py to use Team.FULLSTACK
* refactor(agents_config): derive AGENT_ROLE_MAP/AGENT_TEAM_MAP/CELL_MEMBERS from foundation
* refactor(roles): canonicalize role-sets via foundation.identity
- agents_config.PM_ROLES (5-role: PMs + board + CEO) renamed to
TASK_CREATOR_ROLES; the name PM_ROLES is reserved for the canonical
2-role set (CELL_PM + MAIN_PM) defined in foundation.identity.
- agents_config._BOARD_ROLES aliased to foundation.BOARD_ROLES (drops
main_pm from the set; board A2A handler updated to keep allowing
board -> main_pm direct messaging via explicit branch).
- services/permissions.PM_ROLES (2-role) re-exported from foundation.
Closes the silent semantic divergence flagged in spec section 3 (HIGH severity).
* refactor(seeds,orchestrator): derive agent catalogs from foundation
- seeds/initial_data.AGENT_UUIDS derived from foundation.AGENTS.
- DEFAULT_AGENTS row generation pulls slug+role+team+id from foundation;
per-agent presentation strings (display name) stay in this file in
_AGENT_PRESENTATION dict. The system sentinel remains a literal with
team=None because the postgres `team` enum has no 'system' value.
- runtime/orchestrator._AGENT_TEAM_MAP and the cell-prefix table replaced
with foundation.team_for_slug. _AGENT_TEAM_MAP is now a derived ClassVar
covering every slug (not just management).
- head-marketing.team resolved to "board" (was "marketing" in seed +
orchestrator, "board" in agents_config — three-way drift, now unified).
- ceo.team resolved to "board" (was None in seed; foundation declares
board membership so the seed-bootstrapped DB row now reflects that).
- Adds tests/foundation/test_seed_orchestrator_parity.py — gate against
future drift between seed/orchestrator and foundation.
Closes the identity sub-phase. Adding an agent edits exactly one file:
foundation/identity.py:AGENTS.
* feat(foundation/policy): task_completeness rules + denylist
Implements spec §5.2: field-level completeness rules at create/delegate
time, plus the denylist that catches the literal placeholder string from
the deleted services/task.py:5061-5062 silent fallback ("completed and
reviewed by assignee" — agents copy-paste this from old logs).
CompletenessSpec is data; check() is a pure function; field_hints map
gives the agent the literal answer key for each missing field.
* feat(envelope): add incomplete_input envelope kind for interrogation pattern
Sister to tracing_gap; distinct error code lets agent prompts teach
incomplete_input handling separately from tracing-gap recovery. Carries
missing + field_hints + remediate for the spec §5.2.1 interrogation
pattern; Task 19 will wire the gateway delegate verb to use it.
* feat(foundation/task_completeness): auto-fill helpers (team, priority, parent)
* feat(api/schemas): DelegateRequest enforces TASK_AT_CREATE constraints
Removes silent defaults for nature/task_type/estimated_complexity;
adds min_length=20 to description; requires non-empty acceptance_criteria.
Mirrors foundation.policy.task_completeness.TASK_AT_CREATE so under-filled
delegate calls fail at the request boundary (422) instead of being silently
papered over downstream.
Tests touching delegate calls updated to pass the now-required fields.
* feat(models/task): TaskCreate + TaskCreateRequest enforce TASK_AT_CREATE
* feat(api/schemas): TaskUpdate rejects blanking acceptance_criteria
Golden Rule preservation — acceptance_criteria cannot be set to []/None
via PATCH. Pydantic field min_length doesn't catch explicit None, so a
model_validator(mode='before') guards the patch payload.
* fix(services/task): delete silent acceptance_criteria fallback (skeleton-task root cause)
The fallback at services/task.py:5061-5062 silently replaced empty
acceptance_criteria with ['completed and reviewed by assignee'] -
the proximate cause of every skeleton task in the 2026-05-10 smoke
run. Removed; create_subtask now invokes foundation.policy.task_completeness
and raises TaskCompletenessError on missing fields (spec section 5.2).
Two existing transition tests relied on a 1-char description default
that the new completeness check rejects (description min_length=20);
both updated to pass an explicit valid description. New integration
test pins the rejection contract (empty list + legacy phrase both
raise).
Companion code path at services/gateway/choreographer/_impl.py:1852
(the upstream `or []` collapse) is fixed in the next task.
* fix(gateway/delegate): use task_completeness + Envelope.incomplete_input
Replaces the `acceptance_criteria=inputs.acceptance_criteria or []`
collapse at _impl.py:1852 with a foundation.policy.task_completeness
check that rejects empty / placeholder input via
Envelope.incomplete_input — the spec section 5.2.1 interrogation pattern.
Auto-fill helpers (fill_team_from_assignee + fill_priority_from_parent)
fill the unambiguous fields before the check, then anything still
missing surfaces as a structured rejection with field_hints; the agent
gets a literal answer key for what to provide on retry.
DelegateInputs gains an explicit `nature` field (no default) so the
HTTP boundary can thread DelegateRequest.nature through to the
choreographer. Route handlers (flow_cell_pm, flow_main_pm) forward it.
The hardcoded TaskNature.TECHNICAL fallback in _create_subtask_from_inputs
is removed; the helper now coerces inputs.nature to the enum or raises
TaskCompletenessError if a non-gateway caller bypassed the check.
Closes the gateway-side path to skeleton tasks. Service-layer raise
(Task 18) remains as defense-in-depth for non-gateway callers.
Existing delegate-guard tests updated to pass full payloads — the
prior `title='x', description='y'` minimal stubs now hit the
completeness gate first; the full payloads still exercise the
auth/chain/cap guards downstream.
* feat(api/routes/tasks): POST /tasks uses foundation.task_completeness check
Replace the hand-rolled acceptance_criteria non-empty check in the
POST /tasks handler with a call to task_completeness.check(TASK_AT_CREATE,
data). Route, schema (TaskCreate), and service (TaskCreateRequest) now
all share one canonical notion of 'complete' — the fourth and final
create path is now strict.
Pydantic still rejects structurally invalid payloads (empty AC list,
short title/description, missing enums) with 422. The TC check at the
route boundary additionally rejects denylisted placeholder phrases
('completed and reviewed by assignee', etc.) that pass schema validation
but signal a stub task.
Add tests/integration/test_post_tasks_completeness.py:
- empty acceptance_criteria -> 422 (Pydantic)
- placeholder phrase -> 400/422 with 'acceptance_criteria' in body
* chore(make): add foundation-check drift gate (mirrors lifecycle-check)
* test(foundation): Phase 1 smoke gate — skeleton-task path returns incomplete_input
Phase 1 closes here: identity catalogs are single-sourced; the silent
acceptance_criteria fallback is gone; gateway delegate returns
incomplete_input with populated field_hints when criteria are missing.
The 2026-05-10 smoke run that produced skeleton tasks no longer can.
Phases 2-4 (tracing, journaling, communications, agent_loop, housekeeping)
get their own plans.
* feat(foundation/policy): journaling scope catalog (5 panel-UI scopes)
* feat(foundation/policy/journaling): role read tiers + protected journals
* refactor(content_actions): derive _VALID_NOTE_SCOPES from foundation.journaling
* refactor(services/journal): derive _SCOPE_TO_TYPE from foundation.journaling
* refactor(enforcement/journal_perms): import read-tier rules from foundation
PROTECTED_JOURNALS + ROLE_READ_TIERS now sourced from foundation.policy.journaling.
The local helpers (_check_protected_access, _check_cell_pm_access,
_check_cell_member_access) are collapsed into a single tier-driven check via
_decide_protected / _decide_by_tier. Pre-Phase-2 GLOBAL_READERS that lumped
CEO/auditor/PO/HoM/main_pm together is split into ReadTier.ALL (ceo+auditor —
includes protected) vs ReadTier.ALL_CELLS (others — excludes protected).
Observable behavior preserved.
* feat(foundation/policy): tracing Requirement enum + check_requirements
19 requirements (16 from pre-Phase-2 tracing_gate + 3 pre-gateway parity:
JOURNAL_NOTE_AT_CLAIM, JOURNAL_DECISION_AT_CLAIM, JOURNAL_DURING_WORK).
GateContext expanded with the new presence flags and journal_during_work_count.
Acceptance-criteria checker keeps the spec §9 item 1 reflect-note shortcut.
* feat(foundation/policy/tracing): VERB_REQUIREMENTS table + verb parity validator
Maps every gateway intent verb to its required-set. Includes the 6 inline
journal:decision callsites (submit_up, complete, unblock, escalate_up,
escalate_to_ceo, delegate) plus the 4 pre-gateway parity additions
(NOTE_AT_CLAIM, DECISION_AT_CLAIM, REFLECT on complete, DURING_WORK).
Validator asserts every spec verb is covered or explicitly waived, and
every Requirement enum value is used by at least one verb.
PLAN added to i_will_work_on / i_will_plan (mirrors spec.PRECONDITION_PLAN
in the tracing layer). SELF_VERIFIED added to i_am_done as a defense-in-depth
backstop (auto-set by the in_progress→verifying transition).
* refactor(gateway/i_am_done): tracing gates via foundation.policy.tracing
Adds JOURNAL_DURING_WORK_AT_LEAST_ONE check (pre-gateway parity P2 —
agents must write at least one decision/learning/struggle entry between
claim and submit). Adds journal.has_struggle_for_task helper.
Replaces the pre-Phase-2 tracing_gate.check_requirements call.
SELF_VERIFIED is filtered from the pre-flight required-set: the spec
composes (submit_verification, submit_qa) for i_am_done and the
auto-run submit_verification flips self_verified=True before submit_qa
runs. The flag therefore acts as a defense-in-depth backstop AFTER the
spec, not before — checking it pre-flight would block the auto-verify
path. SELF_VERIFIED stays in the foundation required-set and is
re-asserted by the spec action's own preconditions.
Test fixtures updated: 9 i_am_done success-path tests now mock
has_decision_for_task=True (or equivalent) so the new during-work
cadence gate is satisfied. NO_PR-token assertion broadened to also
accept the foundation token "pr_open".
* refactor(gateway/qa): pass/fail gates via foundation.policy.tracing
* refactor(gateway/doc): i_documented gates via foundation.policy.tracing
Doc-specific missing-key translations (docs_notes>=min, docs_files_non_empty)
added to the central _build_tracing_gap translator established in Task 9.
* refactor(gateway): unify 6 inline journal:decision checks via tracing.check_requirements
Pre-Phase-2 inline blocks at _impl.py lines ~2230/2394/2442/2574/2814/2895
each ran the same has_decision_for_task + Envelope.tracing_gap pattern. They
now call:
- _check_pm_decision_required(verb, ...) — for unblock, escalate_up,
escalate_to_ceo, delegate. Each declares only JOURNAL_DECISION in
VERB_REQUIREMENTS, so a single helper consuming
tracing.requirements_for(verb) suffices.
- _check_complete_gates — for cell_pm_complete and main_pm_complete.
Consumes VERB_REQUIREMENTS["complete"] = JOURNAL_DECISION + JOURNAL_REFLECT
+ NOTES_MIN_CHARS. The inline _subtasks_not_terminal_envelope is kept
because its remediation enumerates the non-terminal subtask ids — strictly
richer than the foundation hint.
- _check_submit_up_gates — for submit_up. Consumes
VERB_REQUIREMENTS["submit_up"] minus SUBTASKS_TERMINAL (deferred to the
inline envelope for the same reason as complete).
Also adds the journal:decision tracing gate to the delegate verb
(VERB_REQUIREMENTS["delegate"] = {JOURNAL_DECISION}) — pre-gateway PM.md
required journal:decision before each delegate, but the gateway path had
not yet enforced it. Threaded into _delegate_extra_guards so the verb
body's return count stays under the lint cap.
_build_tracing_gap gains hint translations for journal:decision, notes>=min,
and subtasks_terminal. The body is refactored to a static dispatch table
+ acceptance-criteria batch handler so the branch count stays under the
lint cap.
PM-verb success-path tests updated to provide notes >= 20 chars (the new
NOTES_MIN_CHARS gate); has_reflect_for_task mocks added to a few tests
where they're now load-bearing (AsyncMock truthiness covers most).
6575 tests passing, mypy + ruff clean.
* feat(gateway/claim): require journal:note_at_claim and journal:decision_at_claim
Pre-gateway parity P1, P3: developers wrote a note (scope='note') on
every claim; PMs wrote a decision (scope='decision') on plan. Restored
via foundation.policy.tracing requirements wired through a new
_post_claim_journal_gate helper that runs AFTER the composed
(claim, set_plan, start) sequence completes.
Failed checks return tracing_gap with a remediate hint that tells the
agent to journal then retry. The claim itself stays — the agent
journals and re-issues the verb (idempotent re-entry shortcuts back
to OK once the entry is present).
Adds journal.has_note_for_task helper paralleling
has_decision/reflect/learning/struggle. The PLAN requirement is
filtered out of the post-claim check because spec.PRECONDITION_PLAN
already enforced it before the runner ran — re-asserting at the
tracing layer would emit a misleading hint.
Two new tests verify the gate fires for missing note/decision; existing
success-path tests already mock the journal service via AsyncMock
(returning truthy) so no regressions.
* test(foundation): Phase 2 smoke gate + tracing_gate.py deleted
Phase 2 closes here:
- foundation/policy/journaling.py owns the 5-scope catalog + read tiers
- foundation/policy/tracing.py owns Requirement enum + VERB_REQUIREMENTS
- 6 inline journal:decision checks replaced with unified helpers
- pre-gateway parity restored: NOTE_AT_CLAIM, DECISION_AT_CLAIM,
DURING_WORK, REFLECT-on-complete
- services/gateway/tracing_gate.py deleted
- enforcement/journal_perms.py read-tier rules canonicalized
Smoke gate 2 enforces: no inline has_decision_for_task remains; every
intent verb has a tracing decision; tracing_gate module is gone.
* fix(foundation/task_completeness): align hint strings with actual enum values
_HINT_NATURE listed 5 values (technical | bugfix | feature | refactor | docs)
but TaskNature only has 2 (TECHNICAL / NON_TECHNICAL). _HINT_ESTIMATED_COMPLEXITY
listed "critical" which Complexity doesn't have. _HINT_TEAM omitted FULLSTACK
(real, used) and didn't note that MARKETING is legacy seed-data. _HINT_TASK_TYPE
was already correct.
Hints now reflect the actual enums in roboco/models/base.py and
roboco/foundation/identity.py — agents reading the gateway's incomplete_input
remediate envelopes will no longer be told to send values the enums reject.
Tests using nature="feature" (DelegateRequest's nature is `str`, not the
enum, so it accepted the fake value silently) updated to nature="technical"
so they exercise a real enum value end-to-end.
* fix(orchestrator): remove dead "critical" complexity branches
Complexity enum has only LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH — no CRITICAL value.
The three "critical" branches in dispatch logic at lines ~3032 / 3331 /
5049 were dead code (the comparison can never be true). Removed.
Surfaced during Phase 2 closeout when the foundation hint string was
audited against the actual enum.
* feat(foundation/policy/communications): Priority + NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES + ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE
* feat(foundation/policy/communications): CHANNELS catalog (channel topology)
* refactor(agents_config): derive CHANNEL_ACCESS from foundation.communications
* refactor(seeds): derive DEFAULT_CHANNELS / CHANNEL_MEMBERSHIPS from foundation
* refactor(content_actions): derive notify allowlist + priorities from foundation
Replaces _NOTIFY_ALLOWED_ROLES + _VALID_NOTIFY_PRIORITIES literals with
derivations from foundation.communications.NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES + Priority.
Behavior change: pre-Phase-3 the literal frozenset {cell_pm, main_pm,
product_owner, head_marketing} excluded CEO. Foundation includes CEO
(per spec 5.5). The contradiction with agents_config.NOTIFICATION_PERMISSIONS
(which already granted CEO can_send=True) is now resolved.
* refactor(notification_delivery): requires_ack from foundation.ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE
* refactor(enforcement,agents_config): delete dead notification policy
- enforcement/notification_perms.py deleted (dead at call-graph; only
the enforcement/__init__.py re-export kept it reachable, and that
re-export is gone too).
- agents_config.NOTIFICATION_PERMISSIONS dict deleted; agents_config
.can_send_notifications now derives from
foundation.policy.communications.NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES (auditor
correctly excluded — silent observer per spec §5.5).
- services/permissions.py: _can_role_send_notifications and
can_agent_send_notifications now derive from NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES;
_get_notification_scope encodes the scope rule (cell/all/list)
locally as a function-of-role and returns list[AgentRole] instead
of list[slug]; can_notify list-scope branch updated to match.
- enforcement/__init__.py: removed the notification_perms re-export
and the NotificationPermissionError, get_notification_scope,
validate_notification_permission names from __all__.
Closes the spec §3 contradiction: gateway content_actions
._NOTIFY_ALLOWED_ROLES (Task 5) and the legacy
agents_config.NOTIFICATION_PERMISSIONS no longer disagree about
whether auditor may call notify(). Both now derive from
foundation.NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES.
* fix(content_actions): runtime auditor guard in say/dm (defense in depth)
Closes the spec §5.5 gap where the auditor's silent role was enforced
ONLY by manifest exclusion. The manifest pre-filters the tool surface
exposed to the auditor agent, but if anything bypassed it, the auditor
could speak. The new runtime guard in ContentActions.say/dm refuses
with Envelope.not_authorized when the caller's role is "auditor",
regardless of how the call arrived.
* fix(a2a): pass Priority tristate end-to-end (was reduced to boolean)
Pre-Phase-3 path:
request priority: str -> services/a2a.py reduces to urgent: bool
-> services/notification.py maps bool back to NotificationPriority
This made Priority.HIGH unreachable through the A2A path.
After this fix the full tristate (NORMAL/HIGH/URGENT) survives end-to-end:
* services/a2a.py:create_a2a_notification parses metadata["priority"]
(preferred) or falls back to legacy metadata["urgent"] / config.urgent
(URGENT-only). Unknown values fall back to NORMAL.
* services/notification.py:send_a2a_notification now takes
a2a_context["priority"] (NotificationPriority); a defensive bool/str
coerce keeps legacy callers from crashing.
* runtime/orchestrator.py:_build_a2a_prompt reads priority off the
notification row (the source of truth) instead of a non-existent
metadata.urgent and renders three tiers: URGENT bold, HIGH softer,
NORMAL no prefix.
Cosmetic [URGENT] body/subject prefix stays urgent-only; HIGH gets no
prefix but is recorded as HIGH at the NotificationTable.priority column.
Tests:
* 9 new tests in tests/integration/test_a2a_priority_tristate.py
pinning the round-trip for HIGH/NORMAL/URGENT through both layers
plus legacy-bool backcompat.
* Updated tests/unit/services/test_notification.py::test_send_a2a_notification
to the new priority= contract.
Closes the spec section 3 contradiction flagged in the audit.
* feat(foundation/policy): agent_loop BudgetPolicy + VERB_RETRY_LIMITS
* refactor(agent_sdk): import budget thresholds from foundation
* refactor(orchestrator): import _PM_RESPAWN_MAX_UNPRODUCTIVE from foundation
* fix(post-tool-budget-hook): exit 1 on loop-halt (was exit 0 / non-blocking)
Pre-Phase-3 the hook printed [Loop] and exit 0'd — agents could ignore it
and keep retrying. The 2026-05-10 smoke run showed i_am_done retried 5+
times within the global 150-tool budget, never hitting a real wall.
Now the hook reads the SDK response's loop_action field (sourced from
foundation.BudgetPolicy.loop_action; default "halt") and exits 1 to
deny the wrapping tool call when the rolling-window loop detector fires
AND loop_action is "halt". Operators can soften via env
ROBOCO_AGENT_LOOP_ACTION=warn for debugging.
Changes:
- BudgetStatus pydantic model: add loop_action: Literal["warn", "halt"]
(default "halt") so the SDK response carries the policy.
- agent_sdk/server.py: read ROBOCO_AGENT_LOOP_ACTION env override on top
of foundation default and surface it in _budget_snapshot().
- post-tool-budget-hook.sh: parse .loop_action, exit 1 to stderr when
loop+halt; falls back to legacy warn-only print if the field is
missing (older SDK / partial deploy).
* feat(agent_sdk): per-verb retry circuit breaker via foundation.VERB_RETRY_LIMITS
Pre-Phase-3 the gateway had no per-verb retry cap. The 2026-05-10 smoke
showed i_am_done retried 5+ times in 2 minutes within the global 150-tool
budget — the agent never hit a real wall.
Now the SDK tracks (verb, task_id) -> deque[timestamp] over a 60s sliding
window. When the count for a verb exceeds foundation.retry_limit_for(verb),
the next attempt receives Envelope.circuit_open with a remediate hint
pointing to i_am_blocked / i_am_idle as graceful exits.
Verbs in foundation.UNLIMITED_RETRY_VERBS (give_me_work, triage,
evidence, etc.) bypass the breaker. Only rejection envelopes
(tracing_gap, invalid_state, not_authorized, incomplete_input) feed
the counter — successful calls do not count.
Wire-up:
- Envelope.circuit_open classmethod + as_dict pass-through
- _SessionState.verb_attempts: defaultdict[(verb, task_id), deque[float]]
- Helpers _record_verb_attempt / _verb_attempt_count / _check_verb_circuit
- POST /verb/attempted: hook posts after a rejected gateway call;
response carries breaker state + (when open) the wire-format
Envelope.circuit_open dict the agent should surface to itself
- GET /verb/circuit_status: read-only state probe
- _state.reset() (also POST /budget/reset) wipes the tracker on spawn
* test(foundation): Phase 3 smoke gate + foundation-check extended
Phase 3 closes here:
- foundation/policy/communications.py owns Priority, NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES,
ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE, ChannelSpec, CHANNELS, parse_priority
- foundation/policy/agent_loop.py owns BudgetPolicy, VERB_RETRY_LIMITS,
UNLIMITED_RETRY_VERBS, retry_limit_for
- 6 channel topology fork sites collapsed to one source (CHANNELS)
- Notification sender contradiction closed (CEO included; auditor excluded)
- A2A urgency tristate restored (HIGH reachable end-to-end); A2A
service now consumes parse_priority instead of inlining branches
(also drops create_a2a_notification CC from C/13 to A/<10)
- Auditor silent role enforced at runtime in say/dm
- enforcement/notification_perms.py deleted (was dead code)
- 7 hand-set requires_ack callsites consolidated to ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE
- post-tool-budget-hook.sh exits 1 on loop-halt
- Per-verb retry circuit breaker live in agent_sdk (60s sliding window)
make foundation-check now validates communications + tracing + journaling
+ identity drift in one command. make quality green.
* refactor(lifecycle): copy spec.py to foundation/policy/lifecycle.py + shim
Phase 4 Task 1 — relocates the canonical lifecycle spec next to its policy
siblings (task_completeness, tracing, journaling, communications, agent_loop).
The original roboco/lifecycle/spec.py is now an explicit re-export shim;
consumers continue to work unchanged. Subsequent Phase 4 tasks (2-7) migrate
the imports in batches, then Task 8 deletes the shim.
No behavior change — pure code move.
* refactor(services): import lifecycle from foundation (Phase 4 batch)
* refactor(agents,enforcement): import lifecycle from foundation (Phase 4 batch)
* refactor(tests): import lifecycle from foundation (Phase 4 batch)
* refactor(foundation): absorb lifecycle _validate + _generators
Phase 4 Tasks 9 + 10. Moves the lifecycle spec's internal validators
to roboco/foundation/_validate_lifecycle.py and its RAG/prompt artifact
emitter to roboco/foundation/_generators.py.
The lifecycle validators live in a sibling module (not merged with
foundation/_validate.py) because the lifecycle spec imports from
foundation at module load — placing the lifecycle checks alongside the
identity checks would create an import cycle between
roboco.foundation and roboco.foundation.policy.lifecycle (the latter
calls the validators at the bottom of its own definition). The
_validate_lifecycle module defers its policy.lifecycle imports to
function bodies so it loads cleanly when the spec hasn't finished
initialising yet; the per-file PLC0415 exemption in pyproject.toml
documents the reason.
Test files relocated:
- tests/lifecycle/test_spec.py -> tests/foundation/test_lifecycle_spec.py
- tests/lifecycle/test_generators.py -> tests/foundation/test_lifecycle_generators.py
scripts/build_lifecycle_artifacts.py now imports the generators from
roboco.foundation; the on-disk artifacts (docs/rag/lifecycle,
panel/lib/lifecycle.json, agents/prompts/_generated/lifecycle-*.md)
regenerate byte-identically.
After this commit, roboco/lifecycle/ contains only the spec.py and
__init__.py re-export shims — Task 8 deletes those.
No behavior change. 6638 tests pass; make quality green.
* refactor(lifecycle): delete legacy roboco/lifecycle/ package
Phase 4 Task 8. All consumers migrated to roboco.foundation.policy.lifecycle
in Tasks 2-7; the internal validators + generators moved to foundation in
Tasks 9-10. The legacy package contained only re-export shims.
Also trims tests/foundation/test_role_reexport.py — the two assertions that
checked the lifecycle.spec shim's object-identity are gone with the shim.
The two models.base shim assertions (AgentRole / Team) are still
meaningful and stay.
Inline docstrings / comments in enforcement/task_lifecycle.py,
services/gateway/role_config.py, services/gateway/content_actions.py,
tests/integration/test_task_service_lifecycle_misc.py and
foundation/policy/lifecycle.py that referenced the now-deleted
roboco.lifecycle.spec module are updated to point at
roboco.foundation.policy.lifecycle.
After this commit, roboco.lifecycle is gone. Lifecycle policy lives only
at roboco.foundation.policy.lifecycle. Adding new lifecycle rules edits
exactly that one file.
* refactor(api): consolidate route-guard role-sets via foundation
Replace hand-written role-name string frozensets in roboco/api/deps.py
(_PM_OR_ABOVE_ROLES, _DEVELOPER_OR_ABOVE_ROLES, _GLOBAL_CELL_ACCESS_ROLES)
and roboco/api/routes/v2/_role_dep.py (require_dev/qa/doc/cell_pm/main_pm/
board/auditor) with foundation-derived expressions over PM_ROLES,
BOARD_ROLES, DEV_ROLES, and Role enum members.
Behavior is preserved: Role is a StrEnum, so the lowercase X-Agent-Role
header still compares equal to its matching member. HEAD_MARKETING stays
excluded from every -or-above set (marketing spokesperson, not approver);
the carve-out is now expressed as (BOARD_ROLES - {Role.HEAD_MARKETING})
instead of an opaque literal.
Adds tests/foundation/test_route_guard_consolidation.py (6 tests) pinning
both the foundation-derived membership and the import contract.
* test(foundation): Phase 4 smoke gate + housekeeping closeout
Phase 4 closes the foundation canonicalization effort (Phases 1-4 spanning
2026-05-10 -> 2026-05-11):
Phase 1 - identity + task_completeness (skeleton-task bug killed)
Phase 2 - tracing + journaling (pre-gateway cadence restored)
Phase 3 - communications + agent_loop (channel/notification/A2A/circuit-breaker)
Phase 4 - housekeeping (lifecycle moved to foundation; consumers migrated)
All cross-cutting policy now lives in roboco/foundation/. Adding a policy
edits exactly one file. The legacy roboco.lifecycle package is gone.
Smoke gates 1-4 enforce: no skeleton tasks, no inline journal:decision
checks, channel topology canonical, A2A tristate preserved, auditor silent
at runtime, lifecycle module path canonical.
make quality + make foundation-check both green.
* fix(mcp/agent_sdk): wire per-verb circuit breaker into response handler
Phase 3 Task 14 added the SDK infrastructure (tracker, endpoints,
Envelope.circuit_open, retry_limit_for) but nothing was actually
recording rejections — the breaker never tripped. This commit wires
the gateway-response path so every rejection envelope (tracing_gap /
invalid_state / not_authorized / incomplete_input) hits
POST /verb/attempted, and if the breaker is open, the envelope is
substituted with the circuit_open response before the agent sees it.
Best-effort: SDK-unreachable / malformed-response failures fall open
(agent sees the original rejection), so the breaker never breaks the
gateway path.
* fix(notification_delivery): retype CEO approval-flow notifications APPROVAL
notify_assignee_of_ceo_rejection and notify_ceo_of_escalation were both
typed NotificationType.TASK_ASSIGNMENT, which the Phase 3 foundation
table (ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE in roboco/foundation/policy/communications.py)
maps to requires_ack=False. Both are approval-flow notifications and
should mandate acknowledgment.
Retyped both to NotificationType.APPROVAL so the table lookup yields
requires_ack=True via ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE[NotificationType.APPROVAL].
* test(foundation): move lifecycle parity + smoke-replay tests under tests/foundation/
Phase 4 Task 8 deleted roboco/lifecycle/ but tests/lifecycle/ still held
two files importing roboco.foundation.policy.lifecycle. Mirror the layout
of test_lifecycle_spec.py and test_lifecycle_generators.py (moved in
Phase 4 Tasks 9+10) by relocating them under tests/foundation/ with the
test_lifecycle_* prefix, then delete the now-empty tests/lifecycle/
package.
tests/lifecycle/test_consumer_parity.py
-> tests/foundation/test_lifecycle_consumer_parity.py
tests/lifecycle/test_smoke_replay.py
-> tests/foundation/test_lifecycle_smoke_replay.py
* build(make): consolidate ci-lifecycle-check into foundation-check
ci-lifecycle-check was a thin wrapper that regenerated lifecycle artifacts
via scripts/build_lifecycle_artifacts.py and gated on git diff. After
Phase 4 it sat alongside foundation-check covering the same drift-gate
intent. Merge the lifecycle-artifact regen + git-diff step into
foundation-check so a single 'make foundation-check' is the canonical
drift gate.
Keep ci-lifecycle-check as a phony alias forwarding to foundation-check
for any external script or CI lane still using the old target name.
Drop the redundant ci-lifecycle-check call from 'make quality'.
