* fix(board): LEARN decisions name the item, not its per-cycle index A cycle's reject reasons are rendered into the NEXT cycle's exploration prompt, but the ref recorded alongside each reason was the item's stored id (item-0/item-1) — a per-cycle index that means something different every cycle and appears nowhere the explorer can resolve. The reason survived the loop; what it was about did not. Record the item's title instead, via a shared learn_ref() helper (falls back to the id when title-less, and reads target_task_title for Scales, whose items name the live task they mutate). * chore(lint): satisfy ruff 0.16 — keyword-only signatures and markdown formatting The dev toolchain resolved ruff 0.16.0, which stabilises PLR0917 (too many positional arguments) and formats python code blocks inside markdown. Both fired repo-wide and neither had anything to do with the code they flagged. - 36 signatures gain a `*` so their tail arguments are keyword-only, and the 104 call sites that passed them positionally are converted. mypy was the safety net for the static ones; the full suite caught nine more that only bind at runtime (the MCP tool functions, whose real callers already pass named JSON arguments). - 28 markdown files reformatted by 0.16's code-block formatter. - One RUF036 (`None` mid-union) autofixed in the GitLab provider. * fix(gateway): log the reason when a verb rejects A rejected envelope rides an HTTP 200, its body is never logged, and there is no trace table — so in the access log a verb an agent could not satisfy looks identical to one that worked. On 2026-07-25 four Board Programs (Periscope, Sentinel, Scales, Barfly) each POSTed their propose verb three or four times, persisted nothing, and left their exploration tasks PENDING; the reason was unrecoverable afterwards, from the logs or from the agents' own transcripts. Log error/message/remediate/missing plus the calling agent at envelope_to_response — the one chokepoint every v1 flow and do route returns through. Success envelopes stay silent. --------- Co-authored-by: Renn F <rennf93@users.noreply.github.com>

Project & Workspace Tools
Overview
There is no roboco_project_* or roboco_workspace_* agent tool. Agents do not create projects, manage git tokens, or ensure workspaces. Those are handled for you:
- Workspaces are auto-cloned by the orchestrator (
WorkspaceService). Your per-agent clone of the project repo is created the first time you claim work on it — you never call a workspace tool. Branches are auto-created oni_will_work_on()/claim_review(); you don't rungit checkouteither. - Project registration and git-token management are operator actions done through the control panel / HTTP API, not from inside an agent container. Tokens are encrypted at rest; the agent container never sees the PAT (it is injected into git operations server-side and scrubbed from URLs).
What a task already tells you
A task carries its project linkage; you don't look it up with a tool. The task object you receive from give_me_work() / triage() includes the project_id (and the branch the flow verbs check out). Acceptance criteria and the project context come back inline on the Envelope.
Inspecting the repo
Read-only git inspection is available through the roboco-git-readonly MCP server (developers and QA):
# project_slug is optional on all four — omit it and your own project
# is used (from this agent's environment).
roboco_git_status()
roboco_git_log()
roboco_git_diff()
roboco_git_branch_list()
There is no roboco_git_commit / _push / _checkout / _create_pr / _merge_pr tool. Commits go through the commit content tool (auto- prefixed with [task-id], auto-pushed by the choreographer); PRs open at open_pr time; merges are a PM complete operation.
Finding project knowledge
To learn how a project's codebase is laid out or how a subsystem works, query the knowledge base rather than a project tool:
roboco_kb_search(
query="rate limiting redis",
project="roboco-api",
index_types=["code", "documentation"],
)
roboco_ask_mentor(question="How is auth wired up in this project?")
PM note: creating work
PMs create work with the delegate flow verb (a subtask under the current parent task), not a project/task-create tool. delegate takes an optional project_id; the parent task's project is inherited when you omit it. There is no agent-facing standalone project- or task-create tool.
