* [fastapi-guard] Phase 1a: gated config flags for the HTTP security layer Adds the ROBOCO_GUARD_* settings (all default-off / secure-default) for the upcoming fastapi-guard 7.2.0 hardening — guard_enabled (master switch), guard_fail_secure (fail-closed default; NAS overrides to false), guard_telemetry_enabled + guard_agent_api_key + guard_project_id (guard-agent telemetry, opt-in), guard_emergency + guard_emergency_whitelist (lockdown kill switch). Inert until consumed: nothing reads them yet, so the request path is unchanged. Foundation for v0.16.0. * [fastapi-guard] Phase 1b: security foundation module + gated wiring Add fastapi-guard 7.2.0 + guard-core 3.3.0 (bare, unpinned) and roboco/security.py: - build_security_config() from settings — behind-nginx real-IP (trusted_proxies + trust_x_forwarded_proto), HSTS/CSP headers, threat-ban + 404-sweep rules, redis-backed state, exclude_paths (/ws + health + docs), env-driven enforce_https, fail_secure (secure default), emergency lockdown, guard-agent telemetry (opt-in), passive-mode calibration switch. - guard_deco singleton (SecurityDecorator) for per-route decorators (Phase 2+). - Three custom content validators guard's WAF can't cover: prompt-injection / role-override, secret-exfil / credential-in-body, internal-SSRF. - apply_guard(app) + guarded_lifespan() wired into create_app AFTER settings. guard_passive_mode config flag added. Entirely gated by ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED (default off): create_app mounts nothing and returns the unchanged app when off (verified). make quality GREEN (cov 95.32%, pip-audit clean, import-linter 2/0). 12 new unit tests. * [fastapi-guard] Phase 2: critical-path decorators Apply guard decorators to the highest-value endpoints (metadata-only; enforced only when the middleware is mounted, so no-op while ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED is off): - provider keys (ollama/grok/self-hosted writes): strict rate_limit + max_request_size + block_clouds (no datacenter IP should touch secret writes). - settings write + release approve/reject (CEO-gated): strict rate_limit. - intake chat (prompter start/messages/events): rate_limit + max_request_size + custom_validation(prompt_injection_validator) — the prompt-facing free-text ingress gets the injection/role-override/secret-exfil content scan. make quality GREEN (cov 95.32%, contracts 2/0). App builds with guard off, decorators inert (verified). * [fastapi-guard] Phase 3: wide decorator coverage across ingress + sensitive routes Targeted-wide application (metadata-only; no-op until ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED). The global SecurityMiddleware already rate-limits + WAF-scans every request, so this adds the custom content validators on free-text ingress + tight limits on sensitive ops (not blanket per-route rate_limit on reads): - agent gateway do verbs (note/say/commit/dm/pitch/progress/draft_playbook/...): rate_limit + max_request_size + custom_validation(secret_exfil or prompt_injection). - a2a message/send + chat writes: rate_limit + size + prompt_injection. - optimal/RAG (kb/search, rag/query, mentor/ask, errors/decisions/standards/ learnings): prompt_injection on searches, secret_exfil on record writes; docs index → internal_ssrf. - tasks: create/update → prompt_injection; QA/doc/PM transitions → secret_exfil; CEO-gated verbs → tight rate_limit. - secretary chat → prompt_injection; research → internal_ssrf; orchestrator spawn/mutations → rate_limit; git ops + flow verbs → tight rate_limit. Pure GET/reads left to the global middleware. Applied via a Sonnet workflow, then verified: app builds with guard off (decorators inert), make quality GREEN (cov 95.37%, contracts 2/0). Decoy/honeypot-path surface deferred (needs verified guard ban-API integration — not rushed). * [fastapi-guard] Phase 5: arm the NAS composes in passive/log-only mode Arm ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED=true + ROBOCO_GUARD_PASSIVE_MODE=true + ROBOCO_GUARD_FAIL_SECURE=false on the two NAS composes (docker-compose.yaml + .yml). Passive = guard mounts and logs what it WOULD block but blocks nothing, so the next NAS deploy calibrates against real traffic; flip PASSIVE_MODE off after the false-positive review to enforce. fail_secure=false keeps a guard-internal error from 500ing the personal deploy. The registry (user-facing) compose is deliberately left unarmed so its published default stays conservative. Phase 4 (passive calibration) is the operational step this enables. * feat(security): Phase 3b — full-arsenal per-route guard enrichment Stack the applicable guard decorators per surface instead of the minimal rate_limit/max_request_size/custom_validation triad: content_type_filter on every JSON-body write, honeypot_detection form-traps on human-facing POSTs, block_clouds on key-writes + CEO release ops, behavior_analysis runaway-rate rules on the agent flow/do verbs, suspicious_detection + usage_monitor on the sensitive surfaces. Nine distinct decorators now applied thoughtfully per endpoint. All metadata-only — no-op while ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED is off. * fix(a2a): permit PR reviewer to deliver gate verdicts to the owning PM can_a2a_direct had no pr_reviewer rule, so a reviewer (team=board, or a cell team) fell through to the cell-member path and was cross-cell-denied when the in-path gate delivered a pr_fail change-request to main-pm (or a cross-cell cell-pm): "Cannot A2A main-pm ... Ask None to coordinate with None". The delivery is best-effort, so pr_fail still transitioned but the verdict never reached the owning PM — the blind-re-submit signal-gap the pr_fail fix closes. Add an explicit pr_reviewer handler: it may A2A only cell_pm / main_pm (its sole comms surface — everything else it posts on the PR itself), with a matching route hint. The cell reviewers kept same-team access by coincidence; this scopes every reviewer to PM-only, the correct model, with no other A2A caller affected. Refresh uv.lock to the current resolution. * feat(models): adopt Claude Sonnet 5 as the sonnet tier Point the 'sonnet' alias at claude-sonnet-5 (MODEL_MAP) and give pr_reviewer its own opus tier in ROLE_MODEL_MAP — it was falling through to the sonnet default, and the role gates untrusted external/fork PRs plus root→master, which warrants opus. Price claude-sonnet-5 at the promotional 33% off Sonnet 4.6 ($2.01 / $10.05, cache 0.201 / 0.5025) through 2026-08-31 via a dedicated pricing fragment that beats the bare 'sonnet' alias; revert to full rate when the promo ends. Bare 'sonnet' stays full-rate as a conservative fallback (prod prices the resolved claude-sonnet-5 id from the transcript). Update the model docs and the billing / usage / manifest / spawn tests. * feat(security): calibrate the guard WAF for RoboCo traffic + document the layer The first end-to-end run of the fastapi-guard layer showed active enforcement would block ~50% of legitimate agent traffic — RoboCo request bodies are code, SQL, diffs, file paths, HTML, and URLs, which the stock signature WAF reads as attacks. build_security_config now excludes RoboCo's free-text top-level body fields (derived from the real request models, including the free-form container fields whose nested prose is stringified and scanned) from WAF scanning, dropping the active-mode false-positive rate to zero while keeping the WAF on every non-excluded (id/enum/slug/branch) field and leaving the prompt-injection / secret-exfil / internal-SSRF validators — which run independently of the exclusion — fully in force. enable_penetration_detection is made explicit. Only excluded_detection_body_fields is reliable on guard 7.2.1: the per-route categories knob is bypassed for JSON bodies, and the body scanner excludes top-level keys only (scanning str(value) of every non-excluded field), so free-form container fields must be excluded wholesale. Adds tests/unit/test_security_middleware.py — the first end-to-end exercise of the middleware (mounts it, drives guard's lifespan, fires real requests): proves passive mode is log-only, active mode does not false-positive on realistic agent payloads, threats are still blocked inside excluded fields, and the WAF still fires on non-excluded fields. Docs: CHANGELOG (Unreleased); a user-facing Optional-subsystems page + nav + env reference for the HTTP security layer; the agent-facing RAG corpus (what it is + why a request could be blocked); and the roboco mapping (api-core-websocket / deployment-tooling / _complete_map). * feat(security): Surface N — scanner honeytrap (guard /api auto-ban + nginx edge-drop) Turns scanner probes against the scanner, in two layers matched to where traffic lands. Behind nginx only /api, /ws, /health, /ready reach the orchestrator, so guard can only see (and ban) scanner probes on those paths; the classic root probes (/.env, /wp-login.php, /phpmyadmin, /.git/config) hit the panel. So: - build_security_config's threat_ban_config gains recon / sensitive_file / cms_probing categories. A scanner probing those fingerprints on an /api path is detected on the URL-path scan; repeated probes from one IP trip an adaptive per-IP auto-ban (redis-backed, 24h). Only bans in active mode (passive logs the recon hit) and needs redis (the 24h ban exceeds the in-memory cap). The spec's decoy-route file is redundant — the WAF url-path scan bans regardless of a registered route — so it is intentionally omitted. - docker/nginx.conf drops the classic root scanner paths at the edge with 444 (connection closed, no response) before they reach the panel, anchored to known scanner fingerprints so /.well-known and every real panel/API route are untouched. Always on, independent of ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED. Tests: 2 unit (the exclusion set + the scanner-ban categories are present) and 2 integration (a decoy path is blocked in active mode, passes in passive). The nginx regex was validated against 15 scanner + 19 legit paths (0 false positives). Docs: CHANGELOG, the HTTP-security page, the roboco mapping, and the agent-facing RAG corpus. * Token optimization — per-role observability, compute policy, spawn preflight (#291) * test(models): lock the sonnet→claude-sonnet-5 MODEL_MAP invariant * feat(usage): surface cache tokens + cache_hit_rate in usage breakdowns * feat(usage): add per-role usage breakdown endpoint * feat(usage): add spawn-waste signal (per-role unproductive rate + respawn strikes) * feat(panel): surface per-role cost/cache + spawn-waste on the metrics page * feat(routing): Phase 2 per-role compute policy — qa→haiku, main_pm→sonnet, per-role effort env mechanism (default-inert) * feat(orchestrator): Phase 3 flag-gated spawn preflight — refuse non-gateway delivery roles (respawn-forever guard) * chore(compose): arm ROBOCO_SPAWN_PREFLIGHT_ENABLED on the NAS composes * docs: per-role usage observability, per-role compute policy, and spawn preflight --------- Co-authored-by: Renn F <rennf93@users.noreply.github.com> * fix(panel): pin outputFileTracingRoot so the standalone build isn't broken by stray lockfiles * feat(routing): populate ROLE_EFFORT_MAP + wire the verified --effort flag (cell_pm/board/auditor to medium) * feat(gateway): omit empty context_briefing sections (Phase 4 payload compaction) * refactor(orchestrator): extract spawn chokepoint guards to restore xenon rank B on spawn_agent --------- Co-authored-by: Renn F <rennf93@users.noreply.github.com>

Metrics
The Metrics page (/metrics) is where you watch the company's throughput and its spend. Three tabs: Performance, Token Usage, and Delivery (the active tab is in the URL as ?tab=).
Performance
The Performance tab is a snapshot of velocity and pipeline health, computed from the live task list and the orchestrator's agent status.
- Velocity — completed today, completed this rolling 7 days, total completed all-time, and a completion rate across all tasks.
- Task Status — counts of tasks that are pending, in progress, blocked, awaiting QA, and completed.
- Agent Status — how many agents are running, idle, waiting (need input), or in error.
- Team Health — one card per cell with a health score and its active / blocked / done breakdown. The score is a simple read on blockers: more blocked tasks pulls a cell's health down. A healthy cell sits near 100%; blockers visibly degrade it, so a cell sliding toward red is the signal to look at its blockers.
Token Usage
The Token Usage tab is the cost dashboard, scoped to the last 24 hours unless a panel says otherwise.
- Summary cards — tokens in, tokens out, total tokens, total cost over 24h, the trend versus the prior period, and dollars saved by prompt caching.
- Time series + model donut — usage over time, and the split across models.
- Per-agent and per-team bars — who and which cell is spending.
- Monthly projection — projected monthly cost from a rolling-average daily run rate.
- Cache efficiency — cache hit rate and the cost it saved.
- Cost & cache by role — cost and cache-hit-rate broken out per role (developer, main PM, QA, …), so you can see which roles are cheap-and-cached versus expensive.
- Spawn waste — the share of spawns that produced no output (loaded a prompt, delivered nothing), per role, plus any wedged tasks with open respawn strikes.
- Sessions table — the recent agent spawn sessions behind the numbers.
!!! tip "These panels update live"
The token panels subscribe to a live usage stream over /ws/system and update in place as agents spend, falling back to periodic HTTP polling when the socket is down. You don't need to refresh to watch cost accrue.
Where the dollar figures come from
Cost is derived from per-session token counts using provider-aware pricing — and local / Ollama usage is intentionally priced at $0, so a self-hosted or Ollama-routed workforce shows tokens but no dollars. The full cost model, the budget cap, and where each number originates are documented in Cost & usage; this page only shows the numbers.
!!! note "Spend against budget lives on the scorecard" Metrics shows raw usage and projection. Your monthly budget cap and whether you're over it appear on the Company Scorecard in Business, not here.
Delivery
The Delivery tab is the flow dashboard — not what the company shipped or what it cost, but how the work moved. Every panel is reconstructed from the task lifecycle history RoboCo already records (each status transition is logged), so it needs no extra bookkeeping. Cycle-time, bottlenecks, and rework look back 30 days; the scorecards look back 7.
- Cycle Time by Stage — the average time a task sits in each lifecycle stage (claimed, in progress, awaiting QA, awaiting documentation, awaiting PR review, awaiting PM review, …). This is where you see where the time actually goes — a tall "awaiting QA" bar means work waits on review, not on coding.
- Bottlenecks — the same data ranked by total time absorbed, with the single worst stage called out and a live count of how many tasks are parked in each stage right now, plus the current active-blocker count. It answers "what is holding the company up today?"
- Rework — how often work bounces back to
needs_revision(the headline rate = reworked ÷ completed), broken down by cell and by agent, plus the token cost of that rework. Crucially, a bounce is attributed to the QA or PR-reviewer who sent it back, not the developer who owns the task — so a highQA failsnumber against a reviewer is a signal about that reviewer's gate, and a high rate against a developer is a signal about their first-pass quality. - Cell scorecards — one card per cell (Backend / Frontend / UX-UI) with its completed count, average cycle time, rework rate, and cost over the last 7 days — the quick read on which cell is moving cleanly.
!!! tip "Reading rework attribution"
A bounce charges the reviewer who rejected it via the task.qa_fail / task.pr_fail events, while the rate (reworked / completed) is computed against the task's owner. So one agent can show a low rate (good first-pass work) while another shows many QA fails (an active, rejecting gate) — both are healthy. Watch for a developer with a high rate and a reviewer with near-zero fails: that's a gate letting work through that later needs revision.
