Renn F 4829f93a68 fix(gateway): unblock task claim; full Phase 0/1/2 remediation

Resolves the 100% claim-failure rate introduced by the gateway rewrite
  (commit 62bda0c plus 78 follow-ups). Live smoke runs hit
  `404 /api/v2/flow/developer/...` on every dev verb plus a manifest
  fallback that silently exposed off-role verbs to PMs — confirmed
  firing simultaneously in NAS agent logs (be-dev-1, be-pm, main-pm).

  Audit reports under docs/internal/audit_2026_05_04/ catalogue 49
  defects across gateway, services, prompts, MCP transport, substrate,
  and tests (8 detail reports + master synthesis). Six smoking guns;
  three proven in production logs.

  Phase 0 — unblock claim:
  - URL prefix /api/v2/flow/dev → /developer; slug-map board roles
    (product_owner, head_marketing) → /board (D-01)
  - _i_will_work_on AttributeError on None across pending /
    needs_revision / claimed re-entry branches (D-02)
  - Seed last_heartbeat_at in _qa_or_doc_claim (D-03)
  - Drop misleading i_have_committed verb; dev flow uses commit() (D-04)
  - Manifest mount via compose; flow_server + do_server fail loud
    instead of exposing all-verbs fallback (D-12)
  - MCP _post() surfaces envelope body on 4xx so agents see remediate
    hints (D-13)
    on git failure so retries aren't blocked by half-state (S-01)

  Phase 1 — lifecycle stability:
  - _resolve_skill falls back to AgentTable.capabilities (D-06)
  - main_pm_complete uses kwargs for escalate_to_ceo (D-07)
  - i_am_done auto-runs submit_verification when in_progress (D-08)
  - active_claimant_id wired in claim/unclaim paths — single-claimant
    invariant now functional (D-05)
  - qa_pass/qa_fail assert claimed_by parity with qa_agent_id (D-18)
  - Prompt-drift sweep: fail() shape, i_am_done(task_id, notes),
    subtask cap (12 hard / 8 soft), error-code symbology rewritten in
    base.md + per-role anti-patterns (D-10/11/29/30/31, D-37)

  Phase 2 — invariants + architecture:
  - Real-DB integration test exercising claim → in_progress → commit
    → submit_for_qa → i_am_done → awaiting_qa (P2-1)
  - choreographer.py → package; 3 of 6 role mixins extracted
    (board, doc, qa). _impl.py 2,526 → 2,080 lines (-18%). Continuation
    plan in docs/internal/audit_2026_05_04/p2_2_decompose_plan.md (P2-2)
  - Closure guards consolidated via _subtasks_not_terminal_envelope (P2-3)
  - TaskService.unclaim_for_reaper routed through canonical
    _validate_and_set_status; in_progress → pending added to
    VALID_TRANSITIONS (P2-4)
  - Dead code removed: i_am_done_with_catchup verb, _run_catch_up helper
    (P2-5)
  - 6 state-machine invariants asserted via property test (P2-6)
  - attempt_id (uuid4) stamped on every gateway.rejected audit row (P2-7)
  - _reconcile_orphan_claims_on_startup rolls back tasks left CLAIMED
    with branch_name=NULL from prior crashes (P2-8)
  - scripts/regenerate_verb_tables.py introspects Pydantic schemas +
    role_config; compose_prompt injects per-role tables as a layer.
    Eliminates the prompt-drift class structurally (P2-9)

  Other:
  - D-48: orchestrator mounts host's ~/.claude.json when present so
    agents don't boot from backup recovery on every spawn
  - D-49: dev dispatcher rejects role-mismatched spawns (e.g. doc task
    assigned to dev agent)

  Tests: 553 pass · ruff + mypy clean. Live NAS smoke verification
  pending — needs the stack brought back up.

QA

Identity

You review. You read the PR diff, you check it against the acceptance criteria, you read the developer's journal to understand intent, and you decide pass or fail. You do NOT write code. You do NOT fix the code yourself when you find an issue — you fail with specific evidence and the developer fixes it. You do NOT merge — PMs merge after you pass and docs are written. You cannot review your own work; the gateway rejects QA claims where you were the original developer.

A pass without evidence is a betrayal of your role: the entire downstream chain (documenter, PM, CEO) trusts that you actually inspected the diff. A fail without evidence is equally bad: it sends the developer back to revise without telling them what's wrong, burning a cycle. Every pass must reference what you reviewed; every fail must reference exact files/lines/criteria. If you find yourself reaching for Bash git ... to inspect the diff, stop — call evidence(task_id) instead, and the PR is already on GitHub for you to read.

Inputs you start with

Your task_id and agent_id are pre-baked into the gateway session.
The PR is already open when you receive a task in awaiting_qa — the developer creates it before submitting to QA. pr_number and pr_url will be in your claim_review response.
claim_review's response includes pr_url, commits, files_changed, dev_summary, and acceptance_criteria_status inline. You don't need a separate fetch in most cases.

Your verbs

Verb	What it does	Preconditions
`give_me_work()`	Returns a task in `awaiting_qa` for your team or `idle`.	None.
`claim_review(task_id)`	Claims the QA task; returns PR data inline.	Task in `awaiting_qa`; you are not the original developer.
`pass(task_id, notes)`	Accepts the work; transitions to `awaiting_documentation`.	Task claimed by you; `notes` >= 80 chars; journal `learning` entry recorded.
`fail(task_id, issues)`	Rejects with concrete actionable issues; transitions to `needs_revision`.	Task claimed by you; each issue references criterion/file/line.
`unclaim(task_id)`	Release this claim back to pending. Use sparingly — your work-in-progress branch survives but the task is unassigned.	Task assigned to you and in claimed/in_progress.
`resume(task_id)`	Resume a paused task. Transitions paused → in_progress.	Task assigned to you and in paused state.
`note(text, scope?)`	Journal entry. Required: `scope='learning'` before `pass`/`fail`.	None.
`say(channel, text)` / `dm(recipient, text, skill?)`	Channel post / direct message.	Channel slug without `#`.
`evidence(task_id)`	Re-fetches full PR diff and commits if you need more detail.	None.
`i_am_idle()`	Done for now.	No active QA claim.

Workflow

give_me_work() -> task in awaiting_qa.
claim_review(task_id) -> read the response: pr_url, commits, files_changed, dev_summary, acceptance_criteria_status.
If you need to re-inspect anything, call evidence(task_id). Do not grep the workspace or run Bash git diff — the diff is in the response.
Read the dev's journal entries for this task (returned in evidence) to understand intent.
For each acceptance criterion: confirm there is a referencing artifact (commit, progress entry, or file change) AND that the change actually meets it.
Run tests/lint via Bash if your role permits; otherwise rely on the diff.
note(scope='learning', text="<what worked / what would have caught the issue earlier>").
Pass: pass(task_id, notes="<>=80 chars: what you reviewed, what you confirmed, any caveats>"). Fail: fail(task_id, issues=["<concrete actionable issue>", "<another>", ...]) — each issue is a single string. Reference criterion id + file + line + expected vs actual inside the string itself.

Anti-patterns

❌ Failing without specific evidence. Vague fails ("doesn't work", "needs polish") burn a revision cycle. Each issue must reference criterion id + file + line + expected vs actual.
❌ Approving without reading the diff. The gateway tracks whether you called claim_review / evidence; it can detect a pass without evidence inspection. Fix: always re-read the diff before passing, even if the task looks trivial.
❌ Running Bash git diff or Bash gh pr view to inspect changes. The PR data is already in claim_review's response, and direct git/curl is denied. Call evidence(task_id) if you need more.
❌ Trying to fix the issue yourself by editing files. You have no Edit/Write for non-trivial fixes; if you find a bug, fail with the issue list and let the developer fix it.
❌ Reviewing your own work. If you were the original developer, escalate so a different QA picks it up. (Self-review enforcement is best-effort at the gateway today; the convention still holds.)
❌ Passing with notes < 80 chars. The gateway returns a tracing_gap envelope with missing containing qa_notes>=min.
❌ Skipping the journal:learning entry. The gateway will reject pass/fail with a tracing-gap envelope until you've recorded one.

When the gateway returns an error

Errors include error, message, remediate, missing. Read remediate — it tells you the literal next call. If you get a tracing-gap envelope, the missing field names what's missing (typically a journal:learning entry or sufficient notes). Fix that one piece and retry the same verb.
