3ccc723cd4 v0.17.0 — Wave 3: sandbox DB, DB isolation, mobile UI, cloud auth, X account, roadmap engine (#303)
* feat(sandbox): throwaway per-agent Postgres/Redis sandbox containers

Orchestrator-provisioned sibling containers per agent spawn
(SandboxProvisioner, roboco/runtime/sandbox.py). Per-project opt-in via
projects.sandbox_services (migration 057); master switch
ROBOCO_SANDBOX_DB_ENABLED, default-off, armed in the NAS compose only.

When active, ROBOCO_TEST_DB_* / ROBOCO_TEST_REDIS_* point at the sandbox
and the prod-creds gate-env injection is suppressed (sandbox replaces,
never coexists). Sandbox lifetime tracks the agent container: teardown at
every removal path, orphan janitor at startup + each reaper tick with a
grace window for mid-flight spawns. The pre-spawn stale-clear spares the
just-provisioned sandbox; provision pre-clears stale same-named
containers from a crash-missed teardown.

Panel: per-project sandbox-service switches in the edit dialog + feature
flag card entry.

* docs: CLAUDE.md entry for the sandboxed dev DB/Redis subsystem

* feat(security): isolate prod Postgres/Redis from agent containers (roboco_data network)

Second user-defined bridge roboco_data carries postgres+redis only; the
orchestrator is multi-homed (default + data). Spawned agents and their
sandbox sidecars stay on roboco_default and can no longer resolve or
reach roboco-postgres:5432 / roboco-redis:6379 (redis has no auth —
membership is its only containment). Normal bridge, so host-published
ports (15432/16379) keep working. Applied to both build composes and
the registry compose; docker-compose.yml re-synced byte-identical with
docker-compose.yaml (it had drifted by the sandbox flag block).

ROBOCO_DB_NETWORK_ISOLATED (config default false, armed alongside the
topology) suppresses the legacy _append_gate_env prod-creds injection:
under isolation those creds dead-end, and unreachable creds are worse
than none. DB-needing projects opt into sandbox_services instead. The
flag is deliberately not a panel feature flag - it must travel with the
compose networks: stanzas.

Preserved by construction: agent<->agent A2A and orchestrator->agent SDK
polls on :9000, MCP->orchestrator on :8000, ollama reachability, docker
exec/inspect (daemon socket), host port publishing.

* feat(panel): full mobile responsiveness pass

Shared primitives: useIsMobile (useSyncExternalStore, hydration-safe,
memoized matchMedia subscribe), ResponsiveTable table->card switch below
md (single subtree mounted, no duplicated interactive rows), scrollable
snap TabsList in the base primitive (justify-center-safe so the first
tab stays reachable on overflow), persistent md:hidden bottom tab bar
(Overview/Tasks/Kanban/Chat, safe-area padded).

Applied: card lists for tasks/projects/products/work-sessions/sessions
+ the three raw metrics tables; CEO approval queue / release proposal /
playbook review action rows stack on narrow; command-center reorders
approvals above the fold on mobile; task-header metadata wraps;
Communications + A2A become URL-driven single-pane drill-downs below lg
(fixes the unconstrained-height ScrollArea bug) with dvh heights;
recharts label density/radius adapts via useIsMobile; git diff viewer
gets mobile font + wrap toggle; vh->dvh sweep; chat composers get
safe-area-inset padding; dashboard main p-4 md:p-6 + pb-20 for the bar.

Verified at 375px on the built app: bottom bar, drawer, approval-first
overview, swipeable kanban tab strip. All gates green (eslint, tsc,
vitest 249, next build 24/24 routes).

* feat(auth): cloud auth via FastAPI Users (default-off, single-user cookie session)

ROBOCO_CLOUD_AUTH_ENABLED (default off) lets the panel/API be exposed
beyond localhost without changing the CEO's local no-login flow while
off — get_agent_context and the WS gate are byte-for-byte unchanged in
off-mode. On: header-trust dies for humans — any agent-role claim (ceo
or a privileged PM/board role) with no valid HMAC token or session
cookie is 401, closing the header-spoof hole on the host-published
:8000 port for every role. The agent-fleet HMAC path and the system
self-PATCH keep working unmodified in both modes.

Single seeded CEO user (migration 058 users table, UserTable), no
registration router — idempotent env-driven upsert at startup by PK.
Cookie transport (httponly/secure/samesite=lax) + a JWTStrategy bound
to a fingerprint of the current password hash (rotating the password
invalidates every prior session). Sliding 30-day session: every
authenticated request re-mints the cookie, so an active session never
expires — no unexpected logouts.

Panel: (auth)/login page + proxy.ts (Next 16 rename of middleware; probes
/auth/status over the docker-internal URL, fails open to off) gate the
dashboard; client.ts gets withCredentials + 401->/login. nginx unchanged.

Review hardening: broadened the on-mode rejection from ceo-only to every
non-CEO role without a valid token (was only closed when
ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED was also armed); Next-16 proxy.ts rename to
clear the middleware deprecation warning.

* feat(x): RoboCo X account engine — HoM drafts, per-post CEO approval (default-off)

ROBOCO_X_ENGINE_ENABLED (default off, inert without creds). Mirrors the
ReleaseManagerEngine held-artifact shape: XEngine drafts a post when a
release publishes (via a draft_release_post seam on ReleaseProposalService
.approve) and drafts replies to meaningful mentions (dedicated poll loop,
x_seen_mentions dedup ledger, per-cycle/open caps). Drafting is
local-model-only, clamped to 280 chars. Nothing auto-posts — every tweet
is a held task (source x_post/x_reply, confirmed_by_human=False,
Secretary-owned, dispatcher-skipped) the CEO edits/approves/rejects in a
panel queue.

The four OAuth 1.0a secrets live Fernet-encrypted in a singleton
x_credentials row (migration 059, all-or-nothing, API returns only
has_credentials); decryption is server-side, agents never hold creds or
egress. Hand-rolled OAuth 1.0a HMAC-SHA1 signer, no new dependency;
NullXClient makes the unconfigured path a graceful no-op.

XPostService.approve (CEO-only) is the sole caller of post_tweet.

Review hardening: closed a double-post race — the approve path now
re-reads committed task state inside the Redis lock and commits COMPLETED
before releasing, so a concurrent approve that acquires the lock after the
winner released can't re-post (SET-NX is non-waiting, and the route-level
commit landed after the lock dropped). Added a regression test.

* feat(roadmap): board roadmap engine — PO proposes themed cycles, CEO approves per-item (default-off)

ROBOCO_ROADMAP_ENGINE_ENABLED (default off). Weekly, RoadmapEngine opens
ONE held exploration task (source=board_roadmap, confirmed_by_human=False,
Product-Owner-assigned), deduped to one open cycle. A dedicated one-shot
_dispatch_roadmap_exploration spawns the PO solo (not the two-reviewer
board path, which would also spawn HoM + fire Approve-&-Start). The PO
explores read-only (git/KB/metrics/releases/charter/web) and makes one
propose_roadmap call (PO-only content verb) authoring a themed cycle —
goal + 3-7 item drafts — persisted as a roadmap_cycle marker (no table,
no migration; head stays 059).

The CEO acts per-item in the panel roadmap queue: approve materializes a
BACKLOG task (source=roadmap, no assignee — never auto-starts), reject
records a reason; all-items-terminal completes the exploration task.
RoadmapService is idempotent per item. Dispatchers skip board_roadmap.

Includes a real SQLAlchemy dirty-check fix (deep-copy the JSON marker
before mutating, or the in-place edit + reassign compares equal to its
own baseline and the UPDATE is skipped).

Review hardening: create_task_from_draft now honors a draft-declared
source only from a {prompter, roadmap} whitelist — drafts are
LLM-authored, so an unbounded source could impersonate a privileged
origin (release_manager would even wedge that engine's dedup).

* chore(release): 0.17.0

Wave 3 — six default-off subsystems: sandboxed dev DB/Redis, prod
Postgres/Redis network isolation, full mobile UI pass, cloud auth
(FastAPI Users), the RoboCo X account engine, and the board roadmap
engine. Plus the waves 1+2 work already on master since 0.16.0.

Version bumped across the canonical set (config.py, __init__.py,
pyproject.toml, panel/package.json, uv.lock); CHANGELOG [Unreleased]
cut to [0.17.0]; docs/map delta added.

Compose: every optional feature armed :-true in the NAS composes, OFF
in the user-facing registry compose. Two opt-in exceptions default off
(CLOUD_AUTH — needs email/password/secret + TLS, would otherwise fail
startup; ROUTING_STRICT — fail-closed spawning). DB_NETWORK_ISOLATED
stays on in both (coupled to the roboco_data topology).

* chore(compose): arm cloud_auth + routing_strict ON in the NAS composes

Every feature defaults ON in the NAS composes per policy — these two
were wrongly left off. Both keep the ${VAR:-true} form so the operator
controls the real runtime via .env: cloud auth needs
ROBOCO_CLOUD_AUTH_EMAIL/_PASSWORD/_SECRET + TLS set there before a boot
(else startup fails loud), and routing_strict is fail-closed. Registry
compose keeps both off.

* fix(ci): reflow board.md prose (quality gate) + document v0.17.0 env creds

The roadmap section added hard-wrapped prose that failed the markdown
prose gate; reflowed (token-invariant). Also brought .env.example
current: cloud auth (now armed — needs SECRET or startup fails), routing
strict, the X engine (panel-entered OAuth), and web research.

* fix(ci): reduce cyclomatic complexity of five wave-3 blocks (xenon gate)

The wave-3 subagents introduced C-rank functions the CI xenon gate
rejects (my per-item reviews ran ruff/mypy/pytest but not xenon):
- sandbox.janitor_sweep -> extract _list_labeled_sandboxes /
  _list_live_agent_containers / _prune_grace
- x_client.fetch_mentions -> extract _parse_mention_items
- x_engine.run_cycle -> extract _process_mentions
- orchestrator._dispatch_pm_work -> extract the source-skip into a
  MODULE-level _is_held_ceo_source (module, not method, so the
  wholesale-mocked dispatcher unit tests exercise the real logic)
- auth/seed.ensure_seed_user -> extract _apply_seed_updates (module avg -> A)

Behavior-preserving; full suite green (11902), xenon clean.

* fix(ci): declare pyjwt + fastapi-users-db-sqlalchemy as direct deps (deptry)

The cloud-auth code imports jwt and fastapi_users_db_sqlalchemy directly
but they were only transitive deps (via fastapi-users), which deptry
(quality gate, DEP003) rejects. Declared explicitly; deptry roboco/ clean.
Missed originally because local make quality stopped at earlier gates
before reaching deptry.

* feat(x): gate mention replies behind ROBOCO_X_REPLIES_ENABLED (default off)

Per CEO decision: the X engine should only post about releases by
default. Reading mentions needs a paid X API tier, so the mention-reply
half is now a deliberate opt-in on top of release posting.

New default-off flag x_replies_enabled gates the mentions poll loop
(_x_mentions_poll_loop) and XEngine.run_cycle; release-post drafting
(the release-proposal approve hook) is unaffected and still runs when
x_engine_enabled + credentials are set. Added to FEATURE_FLAGS + the
panel card. Tests: release posting works with replies off; run_cycle +
the poll loop are no-ops with replies off.

* fix: 401 only redirects to /login when cloud auth is on; panel-token strips .env quotes

Two bugs that together dead-ended login in secure mode:
- client.ts redirected to /login on ANY 401, so a mismatched panel
  token (header-trust/secure mode, cloud auth off) bounced the user to a
  login page whose backend route isn't mounted -> 404. Now it probes
  /auth/status (bare fetch, no interceptor re-entry) and only redirects
  when cloud_auth_enabled.
- make panel-token read the .env secret with grep|cut without stripping
  surrounding quotes, so a quoted ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_SECRET produced a
  token signed with the quotes included — which never verifies against
  the orchestrator (docker-compose/pydantic unquote the secret). Now
  strips surrounding single/double quotes.

* fix: git-log 500 on '|' in commit message; X queue shows an empty state

- GET /api/git/log 500'd (ValueError: Invalid isoformat) when a commit
  SUBJECT contained a '|' (e.g. the 'curl|sh' lockdown commit): the
  fixed '|' field delimiter let the subject's pipe shift the split so
  author+date collapsed into one field. Switched to \x1f (Unit
  Separator), which can't appear in commit content. Regression test with
  a piped subject.
- The X Post Queue returned null when empty, so there was no visible
  place for the X drafts. It now renders a discoverable empty state
  pointing at Settings -> X credentials.

* docs: bring docs/rag + docs/map current for v0.17.0 (waves 1-3)

Agent-facing RAG corpus and codebase map updated for every feature in
the 0.17.0 span, code-verified:
- wave 3: sandbox DB, DB network isolation, cloud auth, X engine
  (+ x_replies_enabled sub-flag), board roadmap engine — new RAG
  architecture pages + role/tool/config-reference updates; new symbols,
  migrations 057-059, panel surfaces, and the get_agent_context
  dual-path across the map slices.
- waves 1-2: A2A live view + switchboard, prompter memory
  (search_past_tasks), Secretary edit access + PM-lighter scope, the
  PR-gate auto-submit turn cut (ROBOCO_PR_GATE_AUTO_SUBMIT_ENABLED).
- correctness fix: api-routes-schemas.md no longer claims the A2A admin
  routes are reachable by any authenticated agent — they carry a
  _require_ceo gate (wave 2c).

docs/internal, _front.md deltas, and the frozen _complete_map.md
snapshot untouched.

* fix(rag): atomic upsert for indexed-doc tracking (kills e2e segfault)

The indexed-document tracking write used check-then-insert in two paths
(IndexedDocumentRepository.upsert_batch and the file-source
_upsert_doc_record). Under concurrent indexing both callers saw no row
and both inserted, so the second violated uq_indexed_doc_source and
poisoned its transaction — surfacing in CI as the intermittent
_checkin_failed SIGSEGV on the failed connection's pool checkin.

Both paths now use INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE against the
constraint: coalesce keeps an existing title/preview when the new value
is empty (matching the old guards) and metadata is jsonb-merged. The
batch dedupes within itself first (ON CONFLICT can't touch a row twice
in one statement). expire_all after the Core upsert keeps same-session
ORM reads consistent with the merged DB row.

da563487b8 Wave 2 features: A2A live view (CEO chime-in + reply budget) and prompter memory (#297)
* 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.

cfde4369b1 Token optimization levers — claim-scoped briefing, payload caps, role-scoped optimal, notification-spawn cooldown (#292)
* feat(gateway): claim-scoped context briefing — heavy sections only on context-acquisition verbs

* feat(gateway): cap unbounded LLM-facing payloads — embedded diffs, notification bodies, handoff journal content, north star

* feat(mcp): role-scope the optimal server's tool groups; index management becomes dev/test-only

* feat(mcp): cap per-result content on kb/error/learning search, mentor sources, rag citations

* refactor(gateway): extract heavy-briefing sections + clip helper to keep xenon ranks

* feat(orchestrator): cross-tick cooldown for notification-triggered spawns

* feat(usage,orchestrator): scope spawn-waste to anthropic sessions; cap agent Bash output via settings env

* docs: claim-scoped briefing, payload caps, optimal role-scoping, notification-spawn cooldown

* test(mcp): type the mixed-item cap fixture explicitly

* fix(orchestrator): lazy-init the notification-spawn cooldown store

* fix(lifecycle): admin-override claim reconciliation + PM request_changes verb (S6 postmortem B3+B4)

B3 — admin_set_status now reconciles claim ownership when leaving BLOCKED:
review/queue targets clear claimed_by/claimed_at/active_claimant_id and
consume the pre-block snapshot (a stale escalation claim was stranding the
next claimant: give_me_work handed the task out while note() bounced
not_authorized — the live b8fe0494 wedge). The pending/in_progress restore
path also syncs active_claimant_id, and a REST PATCH unassign releases the
claim with it.

B4 — new PM verb request_changes: awaiting_pm_review -> needs_revision with
concrete issues. The PM previously had no reject at merge review (only
complete/escalate), so an AC/scope violation looped i_am_blocked->escalate
4x live. Full vertical: lifecycle transition + ActionSpec + IntentSpec,
TaskService.request_changes (routes like a QA fail — original dev for a
leaf, revision PM for assembled; issues appended to dev_notes), verb-runner
compose, choreographer verb (spec gate + non-empty issues + soup check +
a2a delivery of the reject reason), HTTP routes on both PM flows, MCP tool,
journal:decision tracing, PM prompts, regenerated lifecycle artifacts.

* fix(panel): stop scorecard fetches for fallback-roster placeholder ids

useAgents() serves the static AGENT_ROSTER (ids "1".."22") while agent
definitions load; the Scorecards tab fetched a member scorecard per row
immediately, firing 22 guaranteed-422 requests per refetch cycle. Through
the browser's per-origin connection limit those queued every metrics-page
query behind them (~10s of skeletons on every tab). Gate the fetch on a
real member id (agent UUID or the "ceo" alias).

* Upgraded uv.lock

* fix(sequencing): declared deps become real edges + full loop-breaker coverage + assembled-branch freshness (S6 postmortem B1/B2/B6 + breaker)

B1a — code delegations REQUIRE a collision surface: new TASK_AT_DELEGATE
completeness spec (conditional FieldRequirement, when=('task_type','code'))
enforced at the gateway delegate gate. A no-surface code sibling is
'parallel to everything' by analyzer design, which is how two devs ran the
CEO's explicitly-ordered work out of order (f3e1afc5: seq#1 started before
seq#0, zero dependency edges). PM prompts updated; REST/manual creation
(TASK_AT_CREATE) unchanged.

B1b — the CEO's declared 'Depends on' lists become real edges: DraftSurface
gains declared_depends_on; SequencingService.analyze unions declared edges
(validated: self/out-of-range rejected) with the derived collision rules,
cycle-checked by the existing toposort. confirm_live_batch/preview_batch
map each draft's depends_on through (string indices coerced); intake tool
doc + prompter role prompt instruct verbatim copying. The live S6 root got
1 of its 3 declared in-batch edges and started alongside still-running R3.

Breaker coverage — the progress-aware respawn circuit breaker
(_pm_respawn_should_gate: strike counting, status-advance reset,
tracing-gap budget, DB durability, one-shot CEO notification) was consulted
by only 3 spawn paths; the doc/QA/dev/PR-review/PR-gate/revision/board
paths spawned unguarded at fixed cadence (the 26-respawn fe-doc loop,
~$7.20). Now consulted at every task-keyed spawn site (14 total).

B2 — assembled-branch freshness: submit_up/submit_root auto-sync the
assembled branch when it has fallen behind its base (children are terminal
at submit time, so the rebase is safe; master is never written). A rebase
conflict is a hard reject naming the files instead of a blind re-review —
kills the needs_revision↔awaiting_pr_review ping-pong of re-submitting a
stale head. Leaf i_am_done already had the behind-base gate; claim-time
fetch-fresh cut already existed.

B6 — documenter revision-pass loop: the awaiting_documentation bail
rejections (i_am_blocked/unclaim) now name the actual exit (i_documented
re-affirm) and the documenter prompt gets an explicit revision-pass rule.

* fix(orchestration): assembly-integrity gate + dispatcher heartbeat (incidents #11, #1)

Assembly integrity — submit_up/submit_root refuse when a completed child's
commits are not patch-present in the assembled branch (git cherry —
rebase-safe; branch pruned after merge or any git error fails open). Live
incident #11: a completed revert subtask's merge was lost from the cell
branch and the review gate re-flagged the exact violation the revert fixed,
spawning another revision cycle.

Dispatcher heartbeat — a dispatcher.alive audit row every 5 minutes from
the dispatch loop. The 2026-07-01 outage was 4h25m of fleet-wide silence
with no way to distinguish 'loop dead' from 'no work'; the loop's stdout
died with the container while audit_log survives. CHANGELOG for tonight's
full sweep included.

* style: ruff format for the orchestration sweep

* refactor(gateway): fold the assembled-submit guards + trim complexity under the xenon gate

_assembled_submit_guards combines the #11 integrity check and B2 freshen for
submit_up/submit_root; lifecycle's invalid-source remediate and git's
per-child cherry probe extracted into helpers. Test harnesses built via
__new__ stub the respawn tracker (the breaker now runs on their paths).

536bbb64f3 Chore/all/logical gaps sweep (#286)
* release-manager: fencing-token mutex + executor/readiness hardening

Closes the release-mutex TTL race (#17, HIGH) and the remaining
release-manager gaps (#88, #89, #201, #202):

- #17: the release mutex is now acquired with a uuid4 fencing token and
  released via Lua compare-and-del; a background asyncio heartbeat
  compare-and-expires the TTL ~every 60s while the execute owns the lock,
  so a live execute no longer expires and a crashed one auto-releases
  <=3000s. A second approve after TTL expiry cannot usurp and rm -rf the
  in-flight clone — the fenced first-finally keeps its lock.
- #89: a Redis outage during acquire stays fail-closed (the execute never
  runs) but now returns a distinct redis_unavailable result + log so the
  CEO sees the cause instead of a false already_in_progress.
- #88: commit_and_push RuntimeError is wrapped into a structured
  ReleaseResult(commit_failed) instead of a 500.
- #201: first-release fallback still emits untracked version-ref files as
  gaps (no longer silenced by the first-release branch).
- #202: _await_proc awaits proc.wait() after kill() so a timeout cannot
  leak a zombie.

TDD: tests/unit/services/test_release_proposal_concurrency.py extends
_FakeRedis with eval/get/expire and pins the fencing/heartbeat/usurper
invariants + the redis_unavailable result.

* PM/code-task creation guard + main_pm coverage + issue carve-out

Closes the creation-time role x task_type gap (the user's explicit example)
and the main_pm delegate hole:

- New pure helper `pm_cannot_own_code(role, task_type, is_issue_resolution)`
  in foundation/policy/batch.py — single source of truth. Both PM roles
  (cell_pm + main_pm) coordinate; a `code` task assigned/claimed by a PM is
  a structural mismatch, EXCEPT a PM taking a code task in needs_revision to
  resolve review/QA issues directly (the carve-out).
- Creation-time guard: TaskService.create calls the helper (closes the
  create-with-cell-PM-assignee hole the team-based check misses).
- Delegate path + spec claim gate consult the same helper.
  `_validate_assignee_task_type` / `_task_type_hint_for` now key on the
  Role (CELL_PM OR MAIN_PM), not the cell-PM slug set — closes the
  delegate-to-main-pm-as-code hole.
- identity.role_for_uuid_or_none is None-tolerant (treats None as "not a
  PM" and proceeds) so a malformed/missing assignee cannot crash the guard.
- prompter.create_task_from_draft reuses the guard at draft-create.

TDD: test_batch.py (helper matrix + carve-out), test_main_pm_code_guard.py
(main_pm coverage), test_delegate_assignee_task_type.py (delegate parity),
test_lifecycle_spec.py (claim gate: rejects PM claiming code from pending,
allows from needs_revision + PM claiming planning + dev claiming code).

* task-service: completion hooks + escalation/cancel/audit hardening

Closes the task-service cluster (#21/#98, #99, #100, #101, #103, #216; #102
verified already-covered, #217 verified already-guarded):

- #21/#98: ceo_approve now closes the work session + triggers completion
  hooks before worktree removal (no-op when work_session_id is None), so a
  CEO-approved task lands the same close-path as PM-completed.
- #99: apply_escalation routes through the transition validator with an
  enumerated escalation exemption (_ESCALATABLE_TO_BLOCKED) instead of an
  arbitrary source->BLOCKED write; BACKLOG is refused.
- #100: branchless ceo_reject awaiting_ceo_approval->pending gets a real
  spec edge (ceo_reject_to_pool ActionSpec + _STATUS_TRANSITIONS entry) so
  future admin-override tightening can't wedge the path.
- #101: revision_count bump is documented as the single chokepoint, with
  the pre-block RESTORE path undoing it when restoring a snapshotted
  needs_revision (same cycle resuming, not a new rejection).
- #103: cancel cascade surfaces non-terminal orphans instead of swallowing
  the role violation.
- #216: _remove_task_worktree_on_terminal escalates recurring FS/permission
  failure (audit/notify after N) instead of silent-failing forever.
- #102: pinned in test_verb_runner_midverb_invalid_state.py (committed with
  the choreographer cluster) — verb-runner savepoints already surface a
  concurrent mid-verb state change as INVALID_STATE.
- #217: submit_for_qa claimed_by guard verified intact.

TDD: test_task.py, test_worktree_cleanup_on_complete.py,
test_escalation_board_guard.py (#99), test_task_service_* integration,
test_lifecycle_spec.py.

* choreographer: gate-claim guards + pr-gate hardening + fail-open logging

Closes the choreographer cluster (#5/#222, #29, #30, #82, #188, #189,
#192; #157/#187 verified already-fixed/pinned; #102 pin lives here):

- #5/#222: the unchanged-PR guard's fail-open head_sha lookup now logs
  (warning) on a slug-resolver/git-helper error so a regression cannot
  silently turn the pr_fail re-submit loop-stopper into a no-op. Stays
  fail-open (never wedges the PM).
- #29: pinned (REFUTED-with-pin) — _lane_claim_guard already returns the
  error envelope without releasing the claim on a transient lookup error.
- #30: pinned (REFUTED-with-negative-pin) — a non-batch branchless main_pm
  root cannot bypass the complete spec gate (is_batch_umbrella requires
  batch_id set).
- #82: _post_gate_review_to_pr wraps the slug-resolution call in try/except
  (mirrors _capture_pr_head_sha) so a malformed cell_map AttributeError no
  longer 500s the reviewer after a committed gate transition.
- #188: _is_hand_formatted_verdict anchors the header regex to line-start,
  so a quoted (> ## Summary) or inline (mid-prose) header mention no longer
  false-refuses a hand-formatted verdict.
- #189: pr_fail re-captures the PR head SHA after the transition commits and
  re-stamps the verdict note only when it advanced (closes the stale-SHA
  false-allow loop-hole); no-advance stays a single note write.
- #192: claim_gate_review skips the dev claim guards (already_active/paused/
  lane) via a new skip_dev_guards param — a pr_reviewer inspecting an
  assembled PR does not start work, so the single-active-task / code-lane
  invariants do not apply; the dependency guard is kept, and QA's
  claim_review parity is preserved.
- #157/#187: verified in tree — pr_review-only handoff is intentionally
  prior-work-worth-resuming; self_review_block wiring (reviewer != dev)
  holds on assembled tasks with 4 existing pin tests.

TDD: test_choreographer_*, test_pr_gate_posts_review (#82),
test_pr_review_hand_format_guard (#188), test_submit_root_unchanged_pr_guard
(#189), test_claim_gate_review_guards (#192), test_verb_runner_midverb
_invalid_state (#102 pin).

* playbook curate: guard the gating commit against a poisoned session (#55)

The explicit `session.commit()` that gates the RAG index (commit-before-index
so an uncommitted playbook cannot land in the corpus) raised PendingRollbackError
when a prior mid-verb failure had rolled the caller's session back — 500ing the
whole curation verb instead of returning a clean envelope, and (worse) risking a
fall-through to index an uncommitted playbook. Wrap the commit: on
PendingRollbackError, log + return invalid_state with a re-fetch/retry remediate
and skip the index. The happy path still commits exactly once then indexes.

TDD: test_playbook_verbs.py — poisoned-session returns a clean invalid_state and
does NOT index; clean-session still commits once + indexes (pins no fail-closed
inversion / no double-commit).

* [chore] gateway: atomic activate merge — preserve probe_failures across re-park (#156)

activate() was a blind SET that reset probe_failures to 0, so a probe-failure
increment that just landed (or was in flight) could be wiped by a concurrent
re-park — resetting the give-up / CEO-notify count mid-episode. Route activate
through a server-side Lua merge (roboco:activate_rate_limit) that refreshes the
episode metadata (kind / activated_at / retry_after / affected_agents) while
carrying over the previous probe_failures count. Indivisible w.r.t. the
increment/reset scripts (Redis single-threads an EVAL).

#56 (notify to prompter/secretary refused) verified SAFE — the pin tests
(test_notify_rejects_prompter_recipient / _secretary_recipient /
_allows_ceo_recipient) already cover the only human notify target invariant;
no legitimate send is dropped, no code change.

* [chore] foundation/policy: spec gates + QA retry-key pin (Cluster F)

#50 sync_branch composes=() so the spec gate accepted a terminal/paused/
blocked task and the handler rebased a dead/parked branch — add a
PRECONDITION_SYNC_BRANCH_STATE (claimed/in_progress/verifying/needs_revision
only), rejection_kind=invalid_state. TDD: 28 spec tests.

#148 submit_root's prose asserts 'a Main-PM root is planning-typed, never
code' but only the creation path (main_pm_cannot_own_code) backed it — add
PRECONDITION_ROOT_NOT_CODE on the submit_root IntentSpec (defense in depth),
scoped to submit_root only so the shared submit_for_review action keeps
cell_pm+code submit_up parity. Graceful on Mock/None task_type so the
choreographer Mock-task tests don't crash. TDD: 2 spec tests.

#150 VERB_RETRY_LIMITS is keyed by the MCP-exposed names (pass/fail), not
the IntentSpec-internal pass_review/fail_review — already correct; add a
pin test so a one-sided rename can't silently drop the QA-handoff cap.

#142 main_pm_cannot_own_code/pm_cannot_own_code already normalize casing
(.lower()) — no-op, pin test test_main_pm_cannot_own_code_is_case_insensitive
already in tree.

* [chore] worksession-git: 405 merge-method fallback + non-destructive close (Cluster W)

#108 _merge_with_retry hardcoded 'squash' and raised MergeConflictError on a
405 with no method fallback — wedging the PM on an open, mergeable PR whose
repo merely had the squash button off. Add a 405 fallback to a permitted
method (via _first_allowed_merge_method, exclude='squash'), mirroring the CEO
merge_pull_request path. A 405 with no permitted fallback (or a second 405)
still falls through to the already-merged disambiguation / MergeConflictError.
TDD: 2 new tests (fallback-success, no-permitted-method-raises).

#109 close_pull_request defaulted delete_branch=True, so the choreographer
supersede path deleted a superseded PR's branch while the orchestrator
supersede path explicitly preserved it — the two disagreed, and the
destructive default ran on the 'close the dead PR' path where the branch may
still be referenced / useful for audit. Flip the default to False (opt-in
deletion) and make the choreographer caller explicit (parity with the
orchestrator). TDD: 1 new test (default preserves branch); existing
deletion-when-requested test now passes delete_branch=True explicitly.

Dispositions verified against current code (no silent drops):
- #27 REFUTED/FIXED-UNDEPLOYED: work_session.merge_pr resolves by session_id
  (no global pr_number lookup); the real cross-repo collision fix
  (project_id scoping on pr_merge/close_pull_request/rebase_pr_for_task/
  pr_target) is already in tree + tested (test_pr_merge_scopes_task_lookup_
  by_project_id, test_close_pull_request_scopes_task_lookup_by_project_id,
  test_git_pr_target_scoping). Verify-only.
- #106 REFUTED: a guard exists (rev-list --count {base_ref}..{branch} == 0)
  before reset --hard + base_ref falls back to default_branch; tests lock
  the safety (test_create_branch_never_repoints_branch_with_real_work,
  test_create_branch_does_not_reset_or_checkout_shared_clone).
- #218 BY-DESIGN: the merge_pr idempotent guard intentionally preserves the
  audit trail (docstring + test_merge_pr_idempotent_on_already_completed_
  preserves_audit_trail); a COMPLETED session always carries attribution
  (COMPLETED only via merge_pr), so the NULL-COMPLETED case is unreachable.
- #104 BY-DESIGN: agents never merge to the repo default branch in RoboCo's
  model (root→master is CEO-only); the guard is a correct CEO-only rail,
  locked by test_pr_merge_into_default_branch_is_ceo_only.

* [chore] llm: surface disabled-provider downgrade + scrub probe log (#20/#3/#211)

#20/#3 resolve_for_agent silently fell through to the legacy Anthropic path
when a configured provider was disabled — indistinguishable from 'no
assignment', so the operator got no signal that spawns bypassed the
provider. Surface the bypass with a warning (graceful degradation stays the
default — a stalled spawn is worse than a routing miss) and add an opt-in
ROBOCO_ROUTING_STRICT (default-off) that fail-closes instead. Wired into the
panel Feature Flags card. TDD: 3 unit tests (warn-on-disabled, strict-raises,
no-assignment-stays-silent).

#211 probe_ollama_tags logged str(exc) raw on the generic-exception branch —
structured log could carry connection internals / stack traces. Log the
exception class name only. TDD: existing generic-branch test strengthened to
assert the log kwargs don't leak the raw text.

* [chore] support/stream/optimal/playbook/comms hardening (Cluster S)

Logical-gaps sweep, Cluster S (TDD, red→green per item):

#64 notification_delivery.acknowledge published the NOTIFICATION_ACKED bus
event directly (bypassing the outbox) — a rollback left a phantom ACK. Route
it through defer_bus_publish (after_commit), mirroring deliver.

#76 playbook.archive()/reject() stamped the archiver into approved_by/
approved_at, overwriting approval provenance (and fabricating approval for a
rejected draft). Add archived_by/archived_at (migration 053 + table + model)
and write those on archive/reject, leaving approval attribution intact.

#181 vector_store.replace_chunks wiped existing index rows even when every
chunk lacked an embedding (embedder failure). Skip the wipe when chunks is
non-empty but records is empty — preserve good rows for nothing.

#182/#183 optimal.record_learning recomputed a learn-{md5(full_content)}
tracking source that never matched the URI the plugin embedded chunks under
(roboco://learnings/{doc_id}, doc_id=lrn-{hash100}). Use the plugin's
returned doc_id so de-index/lookup-by-source finds the chunk rows.

#96/#97 transcription periodic flush only peeked ready buffers (unbounded
map growth) and ran sync callbacks on the event loop (a slow callback
blocked the flush task). Flush (remove) each ready buffer after notifying,
and offload each callback to a thread.

#212 _TEAM_SCOPED_ROLES was duplicated across communications/agents_config/
seeds. Single-source it in foundation.policy.communications; consumers
reference that object (identity-tested).

#19 stream_bus._dispatch_event re-ran already-succeeded handlers on a
recover_pending replay (duplicate side effects). Add a per-(event.id,
handler) SET-NX idempotency guard: skip on a hit, clear the key on handler
failure so a replay re-runs it, fail-open when redis is unavailable.

Dispositions (no code change): #77 approve() index-write pair asserted
BY-DESIGN; #62/#63 notification DB-dedup verified pinned; #184/#185 REFUTED;
#214 REFUTED; #215 BY-DESIGN.

* [chore] db/migrations: graph-integrity guard + conftest unreachable-DB warning (Cluster D)

Logical-gaps sweep, Cluster D (TDD + real alembic upgrade head verification):

#16/#37 add tests/unit/test_migration_graph_integrity.py — a static guard that
the alembic migration graph has exactly one head, every down_revision resolves,
every revision is reachable from a root, and no revision id is duplicated. The
suite builds its DB via Base.metadata.create_all (not alembic upgrade head), so
a forked head / dangling down_revision / duplicate id would otherwise ship
silently and break a real deploy mid-stream.

Caught a real bug in the process: migration 053's revision id
"053_playbook_archived_attribution" (33 chars) exceeded alembic's
alembic_version.version_num VARCHAR(32) — a fresh `alembic upgrade head` raised
"value too long for type character varying(32)" at the 053 stamp. Renamed to
"053_playbook_archived_attr" (26 chars). Verified end-to-end on a scratch PG:
upgrade head stamps 053, downgrade -1 returns to 052. (The pre-existing
test_every_migration_revision_id_fits_the_alembic_version_column guard is now
green too; it had been red on the 33-char id.)

#90 conftest silently pytest.skip'd every DB test when Postgres was unreachable
— a non-Docker box reported a green run of all-skips. Extract the warning into
_warn_if_pg_unavailable and fire it at import so the operator sees the DB is
down (the per-test skip path is unchanged). Test: warns when unavailable, silent
when reachable (verified under -W error::UserWarning).

Dispositions (verified against real code + a fresh alembic upgrade head, no code
change): #6 REFUTED — sa.Enum(create_type=False) at 001:119/304 does NOT break a
fresh upgrade head (001→052 applied cleanly on a scratch DB); #8 REFUTED — the
upgrade passed 030/031 (RAG chunk tables) without pgvector installed; pgvector is
a runtime concern handled by roboco/db/base.py, not a migration prerequisite;
#40 REFUTED — the `|| echo` mask was already removed and partial-schema drift
reports exit 1 (only by-design unreachable/unmigrated skips remain); #204 REFUTED
— the property walk seed IS pinned (random.Random(20260504), line 97); #205/#206
REFUTED — the smoke-trace fixture IS wired via
test_lifecycle_smoke_replay.py (8 passed); no shell smoke scripts exist in the
tree to wire; #137 BY-DESIGN — pyproject version 0.14.0 is an operational note,
no code gate.

* [chore] panel: admin-override force flag + kanban subtask_count + ws cleanup + ui-store dedupe (Cluster P)

#13: kanban admin-override into a hatch state (completed / awaiting_qa /
awaiting_pm_review) now requires an explicit force=true from the panel and
emits a dedicated task.admin_override audit row server-side; non-hatch
overrides need no force. Backend gate in tasks route + admin_set_status;
panel kanban-board sends force for hatch targets; TaskUpdate carries force.

#198: kanban service threads the real subtask_count (one grouped query) into
dev + priority-swimlane + main-pm-flat boards instead of a hardcoded 0.

#79: useWebSocket cleanup clears messages/lastMessage/state on unmount or
endpoint change so a dep-change (navigating to another stream) can't leak the
prior subscription's stale snapshot as live.

#186: disambiguate the duplicate ui-store modules -- the session/scroll store
in lib/stores renamed to useScrollRestorationStore / scroll-restoration-store
(barrel + 2 consumers updated); the sidebar/theme useUIStore in @/store is now
the sole useUIStore.

#12: verified already in-tree (release-proposal-card surfaces non-404 errors
with retry; getProposal maps only 404->null). #80 by-design (handleTransportError
already resets isSending on a no-payload SSE drop). #81 docs (streamUrl docstring
records that live-intake SSE auth is session-id-based bearer-style).

Backend: ruff+mypy clean, 278 tests green. Panel: lint+typecheck clean, 159 tests.

* orchestrator: park/reaper/readopt/a2a hardening + self-heal/ci-watch dedupe (Cluster O)

Closes the orchestrator-side logical gaps from the sweep:

- #75 a2a human-only drop surfaced: _dispatch_a2a_work logs the skip
  ("a2a request targets a human-only role; left as a notification for the
  human (not spawned)") instead of silently dropping the target — the
  CEO/secretary/prompter still see the notification; only the spawn is
  suppressed. (orchestrator.py)
- #72 readopt liveness: _readopt_running_agents requires a non-stale live
  claim (via _agent_holds_live_claim) and skips a zombie container so a
  reaped-but-restart-readopted agent isn't double-counted as active.
- #74 shutdown drain: stop() calls _flush_respawn_tracker so the durable
  respawn counter write-throughs aren't lost on a clean stop.
- #71 resolve_wait active-guard + deferred liveness: a rate_limit_lifted
  WaitingRecord is only confirmed-live after a _confirm_resume_liveness
  probe (deferred deletion _resume_confirm_delay=30.0), and an
  already-active agent short-circuits the repark. Scoped to
  rate_limit_lifted records (the only ones at risk of a false lift).
- #73 stuck-Claude kill: _maybe_kill_stuck_claude + _claude_stuck_kill_ttl
  (config.claude_stuck_kill_seconds) — a live container whose heartbeat is
  stale past the grace AND whose gateway probe is broken is killed+evicted,
  not protected forever by the reaper's live-skip.
- #230 verified FIXED-UNDEPLOYED: _gateway_broken_past_grace already
  requires N consecutive false-broken probes (not one flaky streak); no
  change, test added to pin the N-consecutive invariant.
- #43 self-heal per-observation dedupe: a fingerprint collapses repeat
  CEO notifications for the same CI regression.
- #44 ci_watch dedupe by (git_url, workflow): a monorepo's multiple
  workflows each get their own fix task (was collapsed by git_url alone).
- #49 identity.role_for_slug_or_none None-hardening: a stale/malformed
  slug resolves to None and the human-only skip falls through to the safe
  "not spawnable" path instead of crashing.
- #193 strategy engine: notify the CEO on a persistent assess failure
  instead of failing silently in the background loop.

TDD: test_no_spawn_human_roles (a2a skip surfaced), test_orchestrator_
shutdown_drain (#74), test_provider_overload_break (#71), test_readopt_
running_agents (#72), test_resolve_wait_repark (#71), test_stale_claim_
reaper (#73/#230), test_strategy_engine_loop (#193, new),
test_self_heal_engine (#43), test_ci_watch_engine (#44), test_identity
(#49). All red->green.

* chore: make-quality green — xenon complexity refactors + mypy test fixes + lifecycle regen

No behavior changes. Brings the tree to a fully green `make quality` (the
base branch never passed the xenon B-rank gate on several blocks; the
lifecycle artifacts had drifted from the committed ceo_reject_to_pool edge).

Xenon B-rank refactors (extract a helper; preserve semantics exactly):
- api/routes/tasks.py: _apply_forced_status_override + _StatusOverride
  dataclass bundle (update_task override block).
- services/task.py: _enforce_no_pm_code_on_create (create guards) +
  _escalation_diverts_to_pool (collapses the two board/advisory +
  main_pm+code divert branches into one predicate).
- services/prompter.py: _coerce_pm_code_to_planning (create_task_from_draft).
- services/notification.py: _duplicate_unacked_exists (_create_notification
  purpose-based dedup query + ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE gate).
- services/sequencing.py: _same_assignee_lane_edges (the undeclared-surface
  same-assignee lane fallback at the tail of dev_task_collision_edges).
- gateway/choreographer/_impl.py: _pm_task_type_error static helper
  (_validate_assignee_task_type compound PM guard).
- gateway/choreographer/pr_gate.py: _gate_review_event_verdict +
  _gate_review_body static helpers (_post_gate_review_to_pr).

mypy test fixes (no type:ignore — banned; use typing.cast with quoted
strings per TC006):
- test_task_update_completeness: TaskUpdate(acceptance_criteria=None).
- test_bus: cast("Redis", _FakeRedis()); Redis import under TYPE_CHECKING.
- test_pr_merge_concurrency: capture AsyncMocks into locals before asserting.
- test_notification_delivery_phantom: cast("UUID", to_agents[0]).

Lifecycle artifact regen (owed from Cluster T #100 — the
awaiting_ceo_approval -> pending `ceo_reject_to_pool` edge was added to the
spec in 3d633084 without regenerating the derived artifacts the
foundation-check gate diffs against): docs/rag/lifecycle/intent-verbs.md,
docs/rag/lifecycle/status-transitions.md, panel/lib/lifecycle.json.

services/kanban.py: ruff format only (collapses the _load_subtask_counts
signature that drifted unformatted from Cluster P).

* [chore] logical-gaps sweep — Cluster I (intake/product/pitch)

#57/#58 prompter: preserve a top-level product_id with a 1-cell map
(prompter.py create_task_from_draft — top-level target wins over a
redundant 1-cell map instead of dropping product_id); reject — not
silently skip — a malformed project_id in the_work cell entries
(prompter.py _draft_cell_map raises ValidationError).

#59/#159 prompter: create_task_from_draft now operates on a copy
(_copy_draft) so _validate_and_coerce_draft / _clean_list never mutate
the caller's draft dict.

#160 prompter: _resolve_owning_team consults product/board routing
before forcing MAIN_PM on a multi-cell map (product root stays Board,
product+assignee-is-board stays Board).

#83/#84 github_provisioning: create_repo is idempotent by GitHub name
— a 422 "name already exists" (orphaned repo from a rolled-back prior
approval) is fetched and reused instead of erroring; pitch re-approval
now reuses the orphaned repo end-to-end.

#196 kanban: flat main-PM board has a "coordination" column for
non-cell teams (MAIN_PM/Board) instead of dropping their cards.

#197 project update: an explicit null in the PATCH body now clears the
stored field, distinct from an absent field (leave unchanged).
ProjectService.update drops exclude_none so explicit-None applies; the
PATCH route uses ProjectUpdate.model_validate(data.model_dump(
exclude_unset=True)) to preserve the request's unset-tracking (the old
field-by-field construction marked every field set and defeated the
distinction — nulling NOT-NULL git_url).

TDD: prompter 47, github_provisioning+pitch 16, kanban+project 67,
project routes 37 — all green; ruff + mypy clean.

* [chore] logical-gaps sweep — Cluster M (mcp-servers)

#60 flow_server/do_server: the circuit-breaker substitution no longer
erases the fixable rejection — the original envelope (kind/message/
remediate) is nested as inner on a copy of the SDK's circuit_open
envelope (the SDK dict is not mutated in place). The agent still sees
WHY the verb failed, not just that the breaker tripped.

#61 flow_server/do_server: a 404 carrying a *descriptive* detail
(not FastAPI's bare default {"detail":"Not Found"}) is now a
real resource not_found, surfaced as not_found so the agent
re-fetches state — instead of a misleading "server-side wiring gap"
invalid_state. The bare default and unparseable 404s still synthesize
the wiring-gap envelope; a 404 with a real Envelope (error field)
is still surfaced as-is.

#161 flow_server/do_server: dict error.code classification now uses
an exact-code map (authoritative for the codes the handlers emit) with
a substring fallback for unknown codes. Fixes the real regression:
AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED carries no AUTHORIZED/DENIED/PERMISSION
substring, so the old substring-only rule dropped it to invalid_state
instead of not_authorized — an auth storm attributed as a state storm.
The fallback also adds AUTH so future AUTH-prefixed codes classify.

#162 flow_server/do_server: _register_tools gains a
ROBOCO_ALLOW_FULL_TOOLSET env override (default-off) so a missing
manifest falls back to the full tool set instead of raising — a
dev/test escape hatch. Production fail-loud behaviour is unchanged.

#163 intake_server: propose_batch accepts name as well as
title (intake drafts in the wild have used both), normalizing a
name-only draft onto a copy as title (caller's dict never mutated),
and reports the dropped count + reason in the return instead of
silently vanishing malformed drafts. The empty-batch hint now names
name as an alternative.

TDD: 123 mcp_servers tests green (14 new + 2 updated); ruff + mypy clean.

* [chore] Cluster N — conventions/docs logical-gaps sweep

#33: _create_new_doc/_update_existing_doc now resolve via
_resolve_contained_path (the RAG-returned update path was not containment-
checked — an escaping source could write/overwrite outside the docs dir).
#34: _commit_doc_to_repo returns committed/skipped/failed instead of
swallowing all exceptions; surfaced on DocRef.commit_status, the write
response, and the docs MCP guidance so a failed repo commit is fail-loud.
#35: write_doc only updates the similar doc when its filename matches — a
different filename creates a new file instead of collapsing onto the
similar doc's path (the dedup-overwrite defect codified by the old tests).
#129: a custom rule scoped to a language the validator never reports (a
typo) is surfaced as a warn finding on .roboco/conventions.yml via the
runner's once-per-run validation; #32 (tsx->typescript dialect) stays
BY-DESIGN.
#130: _cache_put only swallows a UNIQUE violation (23505) as a concurrent
duplicate; a non-unique IntegrityError (FK/NOT NULL/check) is log-errored
and re-raised instead of being silently misattributed.
#132: health re-reads the live file status (a cached degraded row hid an
in-place repair at a stale head key); get_map skips cached degraded rows
and stops caching degraded so a repaired file re-derives. #134 BY-DESIGN.
#133: _DB_METHODS gains stream/stream_scalars (SQLAlchemy 2.0 streaming
constructs are data access too — a route calling them is not thin).
#199: regenerate_verb_tables._annot_str strips Annotated[...] metadata
(BeforeValidator) before rendering; regenerated verbs.md + per-role
prompts so the BeforeValidator(func=...) repr (with a memory address) no
longer leaks into agent-facing prompt text.

TDD: 206 conventions/docs tests green (incl. 5 new files / appended
cases); ruff + mypy clean.

* [chore] Cluster 16 — cross-cutting hygiene logical-gaps sweep

Disposition + fix the 10 cross-cutting-hygiene gaps, TDD. make quality green
(ruff, mypy 944 files, pytest, xenon, vulture, foundation-check, enum-parity).

FIX:
- #24 /ws/system now gated by _require_panel_token (matches every sibling
  /ws/* stream); rejects a missing token in strict mode and a forged token
  even in dev. (roboco/api/websocket.py)
- #25 two drifted _require_ceo implementations (orchestrator router vs release
  handler) unified on a single require_ceo_role helper in deps — same 403,
  same role set, accepts Role/AgentRole/"ceo". (roboco/api/deps.py,
  routes/orchestrator.py, routes/release.py)
- #11 a spawn session for a delivery role (developer/qa/documenter) with no
  task_id now logs an unattributed-usage warning via is_unattributed_delivery_spawn.
  (roboco/runtime/orchestrator.py)
- #65 pricing returns a structured CostResult(cost_usd, unpriced, is_anthropic)
  so an unpriced Anthropic model (real spend we'd undercount) is flagged
  instead of silently $0; calculate_cost stays a thin float wrapper.
  (roboco/billing/pricing.py, billing/__init__.py)
- #67 blocker-metrics "blocked since" reads the task.blocked audit transition
  (indexed on target_id/event_type/timestamp), not updated_at — which
  over-counted when a blocked task was touched for a non-blocking reason.
  Falls back to updated_at/created_at only with no audit row.
  (roboco/services/metrics.py)
- #94 grok refresh_if_stale uses double-checked locking (_refresh_lock +
  _recheck_or_refresh) so two concurrent callers don't both POST the
  single-use refresh grant and burn the credential. (grok_auth.py)

DOCS (fix the doc, behavior already correct/pinned by tests):
- #66 get_summary docstring corrected — it sums raw agent_spawn_sessions rows
  (sub-day precise); daily_usage_rollups/get_today_summary can diverge for
  "today" until the sweeper catches up. (roboco/services/usage.py)
- #68 DashboardStorage is a documented in-memory stub; added a test pinning
  that auditor flags are lost on storage reset (persisting = a migration +
  service refactor, out of scope as a half-implementation).
  (tests/integration/test_dashboard_service.py)

BY-DESIGN (no code change, with file:line evidence):
- #28 dashboard reads are open to the authenticated operator (dashboard.py:36
  documents this); mutating auditor routes already gate via
  _require_auditor_or_ceo. Role-gating reads would break the panel (no
  X-Agent-ID on dashboard reads) and CEO-token-gating the router would block
  the Auditor (auditor token != CEO token). nginx is the prod boundary.

REFUTED (narrowing would reintroduce a documented hang):
- #93 the ~/.grok directory mount (vs a single auth.json file) is load-bearing
  — a single-file bind mount pins the inode so the atomic tmp.replace refresh
  doesn't propagate to running containers (they hang at grok's login prompt).
  Already documented in grok.py:161 and locked by
  test_intake_grok_mounts_subscription_auth_when_present.

Incidental gate-greening (mypy errors a stale .mypy_cache had hidden in
earlier-cluster test files; xenon refactors for the new B-threshold):
- tests/unit/test_regenerate_verb_tables.py: type the dynamic-module loader.
- tests/unit/services/test_prompter.py: annotate the draft dict as dict[str,Any].
- tests/unit/services/test_conventions_cache_put.py: _FakeOrig is a real Exception
  (IntegrityError's orig arg requires BaseException).
- metrics._blocked_since_map extracted from get_blocker_metrics (complexity).
- intake_server._normalize_batch_drafts extracted from propose_batch (complexity).

* Docs update

* [bug] spawn: self-heal vanished clone + branch ref before worktree ensure (be-dev-1 fatal loop)

A vanished clone_root (disk loss / /data/workspaces wipe / manual cleanup)
fatal-looped the resume path: _ensure_worktree_before_spawn ran
`git -C <missing>` and released the claim, but the reaper-style release
preserves assigned_to + branch_name so the next dispatch is a RESUME
(create_branch never re-runs to re-clone) and the same missing clone failed
every ~30s.

- workspace.py: ensure_worktree_self_heal re-attaches a present worktree +
  symlinks the shared .venv; on a missing local branch ref it fetches from
  origin (create_branch pushes at claim time, so pushed work survives) and
  re-creates the ref, falling back to -b origin/HEAD only when the branch
  was never pushed. _fetch_branch_ref is the token-aware fetch helper.
- orchestrator.py: _ensure_worktree_before_spawn health-checks the clone
  and re-clones via ensure_workspace BEFORE the worktree self-heal. Fatal
  git-state (WorkspaceError) still releases the claim + aborts; transient
  failures abort without releasing (a fresh claim wouldn't help and
  re-cloning is destructive).

TDD: 21 new + 61 related worktree/git/cancel/cleanup tests green; ruff +
mypy clean.

15effce014 Chore: 141 Gaps fill-in (#283)
* 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.

Gate: ruff format/check clean; mypy roboco/ + tests/ clean; full pytest
10371 passed / 388 skipped against containerized pgvector:pg16; vulture clean.
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 Main PM needs revision can't re delegate

* [chore] Bump local LLM glm-5→glm-5.2 + swap Ollama fleet defaults off minimax

- llm_catalog: OLLAMA_DEFAULT_MODEL minimax-m3:cloud → kimi-k2.7-code:cloud;
  role defaults kimi-k2.6→kimi-k2.7-code, developer minimax→kimi, product_owner/
  ceo kimi→glm-5.2, documenter glm→kimi; GLM 5.1→5.2 comment fix.
- config + .env.example + docker-compose{.yml,.yaml,.registry.yml} + docs +
  memory_distiller + optimal_brain: glm-5:cloud → glm-5.2:cloud.
- panel ai-routing-card: typed SelfHostedModel/boolean annotations; drop the
  stale "Minimax M3 default" string (default is now catalog-driven).
- tests: glm-5:cloud → glm-5.2:cloud in pricing + rate-limit-retry fixtures.

* [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).

* [F011] playbook: de-index rejected/archived playbooks from the PLAYBOOKS RAG index

* [F012] release_executor: fail-closed on git add/commit before push

* [F013] release_proposal: Redis SET NX mutex guards the ~40min execute against concurrent approves

* [F015] flow_qa/flow_doc: add i_am_blocked route (manifest-registered escape hatch was 404)

* [F018] claim_guards: treat blocked as active + broaden the guard lookup so a blocked dev can't double-claim

* [F019] git: clear orphaned .git/*.lock files after a timeout-SIGKILL'd mutation op

* [F031] identity: role_for_slug_or_none so defensive skip-guards don't crash the dispatcher tick on stale slugs

* [F032] test: unknown-assignee claim reaches release-to-pending path

F031's role_for_slug_or_none fix made the unknown-assignee release branch
in _dispatch_claimed_without_agent reachable (the human-only guard no
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.

889f3689e7 MegaTask (#248)
* feat(batch): batch_id + collision descriptor columns

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

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

* feat(batch): flag + draft collision descriptors

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

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

* feat(batch): deterministic collision-sequencing analyzer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Panel typecheck + lint + 113 tests green.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* [420e5e68] Fix mypy errors in tests/unit/ and create tests/__init__.py (#154)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

---------



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

718d7dd83e Fix: open findings cleanup (#122)
* refactor(usage): remove the unconsumed per-agent USAGE_UPDATE event

USAGE_UPDATE was published per active agent each sweep, bridged, and
broadcast to /ws/system, but no panel client ever consumed it — the
dashboard reads only the aggregate USAGE_SNAPSHOT. Every emission was
wasted event-bus and WebSocket traffic.

Drop the UsageUpdate payload, publish_usage_update and its throttle, the
EventType member, and the bridge subscription. Keep USAGE_SNAPSHOT, which
already carries the per-agent breakdown, so no live data is lost.

* refactor(prompter): remove the legacy local-LLM HTTP endpoints

The panel uses only the live SDK-intake path (/prompter/live/*); the legacy
/prompter/chat, /draft and /sessions/* endpoints — backed by the local Ollama
LLM with hardcoded prompts — had no remaining caller. Remove the router, its
mount in app.py, and its integration test. The live router and the shared
draft-confirmation service are untouched.

* refactor(prompter): drop the dead legacy local-LLM service + schemas

With the legacy HTTP endpoints gone, the local-LLM chat/draft/session methods,
their prompt constants, the ConfirmOverrides/TurnResult dataclasses, and the
entire prompter schema module had no production caller (only their own tests).
Remove them, keeping the live-intake path: create_task_from_draft /
confirm_live_draft, the enum/priority/team coercion, and the pure
description/readiness helpers.

* refactor(agents): stop granting the Task sub-agent tool to roles

Every agent role was granted the built-in Task tool, but no role prompt or
workflow uses it and there are no custom sub-agent definitions — so a Task call
only spawns a context-blind generic sub-agent that burns budget (ToolSearch,
the comment's stated use, is MCP-only and not callable in agent containers).

Drop Task from all three grant points in lockstep: the --tools spawn flag and
both _ROLE_BUILTIN_TOOLS maps (system-prompt + briefing layers), with a
regression guard added to each layer's test.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Updated uv.lock

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Updated uv.lock

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* style(intake): ruff format the role additions

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Updated uv.lock

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Full make quality green; frontend tsc + lint green.

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

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

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

* Created docker-compose.yaml for the NAS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

tsc + lint green.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(intake): restore assistant message text contrast

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Included images for how-to.md

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* [529f579a] feat(prompter): add PrompterService, schemas, routes, and integration tests

* [529f579a] feat(prompter): implement session-based prompter chat endpoints with DB persistence

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

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

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