Build a complete user-facing documentation site (MkDocs Material) under docs/, served at roboco.dev/docs via a new gh-pages deploy workflow. - Sections: Get Started, The Company, the Tour, Operating the Panel, Choosing & Running Models, Cost & Observability, Optional Subsystems, Configure & Deploy, API Reference, Troubleshooting & Security (55 pages). - mkdocs.yml (Material theme; excludes the agent-facing rag/ corpus, internal scratch, and orphaned stub trees) and .github/workflows/docs.yml (mkdocs gh-deploy to gh-pages). - Retire the stale root usage.md and deployment.md to redirect stubs into the site. - Fix the docs tooling: add the pymarkdownlnt dependency + .pymarkdown.json, run serve-docs/lint-docs/fix-docs under the docs extra, add a build-docs strict gate. - Fix the roboco console-script entry point (cli, not the un-awaited async main). - README: correct the project-structure tree (optimal.py, alembic) and link the docs site.

Optional subsystems
Beyond the core delivery loop, RoboCo ships a set of optional engines — most off by default — that you turn on when you want them. They're the "company-in-a-box" capabilities and the stricter quality gates. This page is the reference for all of them; each has its own page below.
The Feature Flags card
You toggle these from Settings → Feature Flags in the panel rather than hand-editing environment variables. A toggle persists in the settings store and takes effect on the next backend restart. The matching ROBOCO_* environment variable is the same switch at the source — an unset flag falls back to its environment/config default, and some flags carry extra configuration (an API key, a project slug) that only lives in the environment.
!!! info "The restart contract" Flipping a flag in the panel saves it immediately, but the subsystem it controls is wired up at startup — so the change lands on the next backend restart, not instantly.
What you can turn on
| Subsystem | Flag | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural Conventions | ROBOCO_CONVENTIONS_ENABLED |
off | Per-project rules for where code lives; hard-gates agents from misplaced code and lint suppressions. |
| Toolchain matching | ROBOCO_TOOLCHAIN_MATCH_ENABLED |
off (on in the personal compose) | Builds each project under its own declared Python and blocks gates when the suite can't run. |
| Web research | ROBOCO_RESEARCH_ENABLED |
off | Gives Board/PM agents gated web search & fetch through a provider you supply. |
| Strategy engine | ROBOCO_STRATEGY_ENGINE_ENABLED |
off | Notify-only nudges when the company drifts, goes idle, or stalls. |
| Pitch provisioning | ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_TOKEN (+ org) |
inert until set | On pitch approval, auto-creates repos and seeds a build task. |
| External / internal PR review | ROBOCO_EXTERNAL_PR_ENABLED / ROBOCO_INTERNAL_PR_ENABLED |
off | Reviews inbound external/fork PRs and untied org-repo PRs. |
| Self-healing CI | ROBOCO_SELF_HEAL_ENABLED (+ originate) |
off | Watches RoboCo's own CI and, optionally, queues a CEO-gated fix task. |
!!! note "Always-on resilience"
Provider overload parking (ROBOCO_OVERLOAD_BREAK_ENABLED) is on by default — it's not something you enable, it's a safety net. See Resilience.
