153723406e Feat/autonomous maintenance (#264)
* feat(ci-watch): config flags

Default-off CI-watch config (mirrors self_heal_*): ci_watch_enabled,
ci_watch_default_workflow (ci.yml), ci_watch_interval_seconds (1800),
ci_watch_max_open_tasks (3), ci_watch_max_per_cycle (1). Registers
ci_watch_enabled in the panel FEATURE_FLAGS. 4 tests.

* feat(ci-watch): per-project ci_watch_enabled/workflow (migration 048)

Adds projects.ci_watch_enabled (bool NOT NULL default false) +
projects.ci_watch_workflow (varchar null) — the per-project opt-in for
multi-repo CI-watch. ProjectTable + Pydantic Project fields + migration 048
(off 047_ws_single_active). Real upgrade->downgrade->upgrade chain verified
against a throwaway Postgres; 2 ORM round-trip tests.

* feat(runtime): prune dangling agent images in the background sweeper

Every agent-image rebuild orphans the prior build's layers as an untagged
<none> image; across deploys these pile up (the operator hit ~80). The sweeper
now runs 'docker image prune -f --filter dangling=true' (dangling only — a
tagged image or one backing a running container is never dangling), throttled
to settings.image_prune_interval_seconds (default 6h) and gated by
image_prune_enabled (default on). Best-effort: any failure is logged, never
raised into the sweeper. Mirrors the transcript-retention prune. 4 tests.

* feat(ci-watch): source tag + open-task dedupe query

CI_WATCH_SOURCE='ci_watch' + TaskService.list_open_ci_watch_tasks(git_url=None):
non-terminal ci_watch tasks (the dedupe + open-cap basis), optionally scoped to
one repo by git_url — a monorepo registers several cell-projects on one git_url,
so dedupe keys on the repo, not the slug. 2 real-PG tests.

* feat(ci-watch): multi-project CI telemetry fan-out

MultiProjectCITelemetrySource.fetch(projects) reuses the hardened per-project
get_latest_ci_conclusion for each opted-in project (passing its ci_watch_workflow
or the configured default). Per-project isolation: a GitHub error or absent
signal yields NO sample (unknown, never read as green) and never aborts the
sweep; only a real conclusion yields a sample (fail→breach, pass→non-breach).
self-heal source untouched. 3 tests + self-heal regression green.

* feat(ci-watch): engine — fan-out, originate, dedupe, cap

CiWatchEngine.run_cycle(projects) mirrors SelfHealEngine: assess via
MultiProjectCITelemetrySource, open one PENDING ci_watch fix task per red repo
(team=main_pm, assigned_to=main-pm, confirmed_by_human=True so it dispatches
without an Approve-&-Start — the fe029fe3 lesson), never starts/approves/merges.
Dedupe per git_url (monorepo → one fix task per repo) + per-cycle/rolling caps.
Default-off; disabled → no-op. 5 real-PG tests (red→one task, dedupe, cap,
green/none→nothing, disabled).

* feat(ci-watch): orchestrator loop tick + watch-set loader

_ci_watch_loop (registered in start(), cancelled in stop(), separate from the
untouched self-heal loop): dormant unless ci_watch_enabled; each interval loads
the watch set (ci_watch_enabled projects, collapsed one-per-repo via the
existing _projects_one_per_repo) and runs CiWatchEngine.run_cycle, committing
opened tasks. _run_ci_watch_cycle extracted for testing; loud warning when
enabled-but-empty. confirmed_by_human=True on the originated task means it
dispatches without an Approve-&-Start (no stranding, the fe029fe3 lesson).
5 tests (disabled no-op, watch-set filter+one-per-repo, empty warn, engine run).

* docs(ci-watch): CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md for multi-repo CI-watch

Document CI-watch (Added) in the CHANGELOG and the Self-Healing & Feature Flags
section of CLAUDE.md — it generalizes self-heal to opted-in projects, reuses the
hardened per-project CI lookup, never auto-merges, default-off. Adds the
ci_watch_enabled flag to the feature-flags enumeration.

* feat(dep-update): config flags

Default-off dep-update config (mirrors self_heal_*/ci_watch_*): dep_update_enabled,
dep_update_interval_seconds (604800 = weekly), dep_update_max_open_tasks (3),
dep_update_max_per_cycle (1). Registers dep_update_enabled in FEATURE_FLAGS. 4 tests.

* feat(dep-update): per-project dep_update_command/paths (migration 049)

Adds projects.dep_update_command (varchar null) + dep_update_paths (varchar[]
null) — the per-project opt-in for the dependency-update bot. ProjectTable +
Pydantic Project fields + migration 049 (off 048_ci_watch_project_cols). Real
upgrade->downgrade->upgrade chain verified on a throwaway Postgres; 2 ORM tests.

* feat(dep-update): source tag + open-task dedupe query

DEP_UPDATE_SOURCE='dep_update' + TaskService.list_open_dep_update_tasks(git_url=None):
non-terminal dep_update tasks (dedupe + open-cap basis), optionally scoped to one
repo by git_url (monorepo → one open dependency-update task per repo). 2 real-PG
tests.

* feat(dep-update): read-only lockfile-diff probe

WorkspaceService.dry_upgrade_changes_lockfile(project): clones the project's
read clone into a throwaway dir (--no-hardlinks, so the read clone is never
mutated), runs project.dep_update_command (no shell, shlex.split), and reports
whether any lockfile path (dep_update_paths or inferred uv.lock/pnpm-lock.yaml)
is dirty. Fail-safe: null/failing command → False (don't originate on a broken
probe), logged; throwaway always removed; never commits/pushes. 5 real-git tests.

* feat(dep-update): engine — detect, originate, dedupe, cap

DepUpdateEngine.run_cycle(projects) mirrors SelfHealEngine/CiWatchEngine: for
each opted-in project (dep_update_command set) with updates available (the
read-only probe), open one PENDING dep_update task (team=main_pm, assigned-to
main-pm, confirmed_by_human=True), never starts/approves/merges. Cheap checks
(command, per-git_url dedupe) before the expensive probe; per-cycle + rolling
caps. Default-off; disabled → no-op. 6 real-PG tests.

* feat(dep-update): weekly orchestrator loop tick

_dep_update_loop (registered in start(), cancelled in stop(), separate from the
self-heal + CI-watch loops): dormant unless dep_update_enabled; each interval
(default weekly) loads projects with a dep_update_command (one-per-repo) and runs
DepUpdateEngine.run_cycle, committing opened tasks. _run_dep_update_cycle
extracted for testing; loud warning when enabled-but-no-commands. Refactored
stop() to cancel background tasks via a shared _cancel_background_task loop
(keeps it under xenon B as the loop count grows). 4 loop tests.

Task 7 (anti-stranding dispatch guard) is satisfied by construction: no
dispatcher skip targets source='dep_update', and the engine sets
confirmed_by_human=True (the fe029fe3 lesson), asserted in the engine tests —
so the originated task dispatches via the assigned-PM path, never stranded.

* docs(dep-update): CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md for the dependency-update bot

Document the dep-update bot (Added) in the CHANGELOG and the Self-Healing &
Feature Flags section of CLAUDE.md — read-only lockfile-diff probe, never
auto-merges, per-project opt-in via dep_update_command, default-off. Adds the
dep_update_enabled flag to the feature-flags enumeration.

* feat(ci-watch): route fix-task notification to the project's cell PM

On opening a fix task, CiWatchEngine notifies the red project's own cell PM
(resolved from project.assigned_cell via foundation AGENTS — e.g. BACKEND →
be-pm), not the CEO, once per project per cycle. Best-effort: a notification
failure never rolls back the origination. Adds _cell_pm_slug_for +
_notify_cell_pm. 1 real-PG test (asserts to_agent='be-pm', not 'ceo').

* feat(ci-watch,dep-update): expose per-project opt-ins in the project API

Add ci_watch_enabled/ci_watch_workflow + dep_update_command/dep_update_paths to
ProjectUpdate, ProjectUpdateRequest, the PATCH route mapping, ProjectResponse,
and project_to_response — so the panel edit-project dialog can read + set the
per-project autonomy opt-ins (the columns were unreachable through the API
before). Also threads the previously-dropped quality_command through the update
route. 1 real-PG update round-trip test.

* feat(ci-watch,dep-update): panel project-edit fields for the per-project opt-ins

Adds an 'Autonomous Maintenance' section to the edit-project dialog: a CI-watch
enable switch + workflow input, and a dependency-update command + lockfile-paths
input (comma-separated → list). Threads the four fields through the Project /
ProjectUpdate TS types and the mock-mode create fixture. The global on/off
toggles already live in Settings → Feature Flags; these are the per-project
opt-ins. panel tsc --noEmit + eslint green.

* docs(0.12): CI-watch + dep-update bot + image-prune across user docs + RAG

New docs/optional/autonomous-maintenance.md (mirrors self-heal.md) covering both
engines; optional/index rows; panel settings + projects-and-products notes for
the Feature Flags toggles + the edit-project Autonomous Maintenance fields;
resilience note for the dangling-image prune; env-reference + RAG config-reference
tables for all ROBOCO_CI_WATCH_* / ROBOCO_DEP_UPDATE_* / ROBOCO_IMAGE_PRUNE_*
vars; mkdocs nav entry. reflow-check green; prompts unchanged (operator-facing,
not agent-facing).

* chore(release): 0.12.0

Cut [Unreleased] -> [0.12.0] (CI-watch + dep-update bot + image-prune housekeeping
+ the post-0.11.1 run-hardening fixes). Bumps all 8 canonical version refs to
0.12.0 (pyproject / uv.lock roboco pkg / panel package.json / __init__ /
config.app_version + the README / deployment / agent-image-tag examples).

* fix(pr-review): repo-scope external-PR dedupe (no duplicate review on a monorepo)

external_review_task_exists keyed on (project_id, pr, head_sha), but a monorepo
registers several cell-projects on one git_url and the poll already collapses to
one canonical project per repo — so once a review task was re-pointed to a
sibling project, the next poll (checking the canonical project) no longer saw it
and opened a second review of the same PR (observed: PR #131 reviewed once on
guard-core-saas-frontend, once on -backend). Dedupe now spans every project
sharing the PR's repo (git_url); re-review on a new head SHA still works; a
genuinely different repo with the same PR number is independent. 3 real-PG tests.

Settings

The Settings page (/settings) holds two things that genuinely change how the company runs — the Feature Flags card and Transcript Retention — alongside a handful of cosmetic preferences and read-only connection info. Read the warning below before you trust a switch on this page.

Feature Flags

The Feature Flags card is the operator's master switchboard for the optional, default-off subsystems. Instead of hand-editing environment variables, you flip a switch here. Each row shows the subsystem's label, a one-line description of what it gates, and a toggle.

Flag Gates
External PR review Discovering and reviewing inbound external/fork PRs.
Internal PR review The read-only safety reviewer on internal branch PRs.
Web research Letting the Board and PMs run web research.
Strategy engine Generating and maintaining strategy artifacts (drives the Command Center's Strategy Signals).
Self-healing Watching RoboCo's own CI and notifying you on a regression.
Self-heal originate Also opening a pending fix task for a regression — needs self-healing on, and the task waits for your approval.
Multi-repo CI-watch Watching each opted-in project's CI and opening one fix task when it goes red.
Dependency-update bot Read-only checking whether an upgrade changes a project's lockfiles, and opening an update task when it would.
Pitch provisioning Auto-provisioning projects from approved pitches.
Toolchain match Provisioning each agent workspace with the target project's own Python and blocking gates when its tests can't run.
Conventions Enforcing the per-project architectural standard (.roboco/conventions.yml).
RAG auto-update Keeping the knowledge base index refreshed automatically.
Transcript prune Running the background sweep that prunes old transcripts.

Each subsystem has a full page in the optional subsystems section — what it does, the exact ROBOCO_* env var behind it, and what turning it on changes.

!!! note "The Multi-repo CI-watch and Dependency-update flags are global switches" Both are off by default and need a per-project opt-in to do anything. The global flag here arms the engine; you then opt each project in from the edit-project dialog → "Autonomous Maintenance" section: turn on CI-watch and (optionally) name its workflow file (ci_watch_workflow, default ci.yml), and/or set the dependency-update command (dep_update_command, e.g. uv lock --upgrade / pnpm update) with optional comma-separated lockfile paths (dep_update_paths). See Autonomous maintenance.

!!! warning "Flags take effect on the next backend restart" Toggling a flag persists the choice server-side, but it does not hot-reload — the backend reads it at startup. The toast says as much: "takes effect on next restart." A flag you've never set falls back to its environment / config default. So: flip it here, then restart the orchestrator for it to take hold.

Transcript Retention

The Transcript Retention card sets how many days agent transcripts are kept before the prune sweep removes them (default 14). This is a real, server-persisted setting. It only ever prunes agent-owned transcripts — never your own Claude sessions. The sweep itself is gated by the Transcript prune feature flag above.

Connection Info (read-only)

This card displays the API and WebSocket base URLs the panel is using (NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL) — relative by default so nginx dispatches them on a single origin. It's informational; you can't edit it here.

The cosmetic and mock-state controls

!!! danger "Some switches on this page do nothing" The page also carries Appearance (theme, collapsed sidebar — these work and persist locally), a User Info card, and a Data & Refresh + Notifications block. The Auto Refresh, Refresh Interval, Enable Notifications, and Sound Alerts controls — and the page-level Save Settings button — are local component state only. They are not persisted or wired to anything; Save just shows a success toast. Don't rely on them to change runtime behavior. Only Feature Flags, Transcript Retention, and the Appearance preferences actually do something.

AI provider configuration lives elsewhere

Choosing which model and provider backs each agent is not on this page — it's the AI Providers page (/settings/ai-providers), linked from the sidebar footer. There you set the global routing mode (Anthropic / Grok / Ollama / self-hosted), or pin individual agents in Mix mode, and store the encrypted provider keys. See Provider routing.
