Post-audit sweep over the 135 audit-fix commits since19a474d3: 1. Stripped every # Fxxx: audit-ID token from comments AND every Fxxx token from docstring openings across 211 blocks / ~626 lines. The CEO flagged these twice: audit-issue IDs in code confuse future devs/agents. The descriptive text is preserved; only the Fxxx token is removed (and bloated narrative blocks trimmed to 1-3 lines keeping the one non-obvious invariant). 2. Trimmed bloated comments/docstrings to the concise standard (1-3 lines). 3. Added missing behavior-change docs for the audit-fix batch: prompts/roles (documenter, pr_reviewer, qa), user-facing docs (api auth, websockets, agent-gateway, megatask, merge-model, task-lifecycle, grok, resilience, conventions, panel, security, troubleshooting), and the RAG corpus (cell-pm, main-pm, pr-reviewer, qa roles; conventions; messaging-tools; escalation; megatask; task-claiming workflows). Comment/docstring/prose ONLY — zero code-line edits (verified: the diff contains no def/class/return/if/for/await/assignment/call lines). Gates green: ruff format + ruff check clean, mypy clean on roboco/. The only pytest failures are the pre-existing sync_branch tracing-decision gap (B1,250be5c2) — not sweep-caused and tracked separately.

Messaging Tools
There is no roboco_message_*, roboco_notify_send, or roboco_session_* tool. Messaging is a small set of content tools on the roboco-do MCP server. They are role-scoped at spawn time.
Channel post — say
say(channel="backend-cell", text="Starting work on rate limiting", task_id=task_id)
channelis the slug WITHOUT a leading#.task_idis auto-filled from your active task if omitted.- Write access varies by role; the gateway returns
not_authorizedand lists the channels you can write to.
Don't invent channel slugs. Call channels() first if unsure:
channels() # -> {"writable": [...], "readable": [...]}
Active-claim required (explicit task_id): when you pass an explicit task_id, say / dm / note check that you are the task's active claimant — not just assigned_to, which goes stale across a reap/handoff. A reaped or reassigned agent can no longer post to a former task; if you see not_authorized on a content post, re-claim the task first (or drop the explicit task_id for a general channel post).
Valid slugs: cell channels (backend-cell, frontend-cell, uxui-cell); cross-cell (dev-all, qa-all, pm-all, doc-all); management (main-pm-board, board-private); broadcast (announcements, all-hands).
Direct message (A2A) — dm
dm(recipient="be-qa", text="Quick sanity check: ...", task_id=task_id)
recipientis an agent slug (be-pm,be-dev-1,ceo, ...).- Auto-creates the conversation;
task_idauto-fills from your active task. - Same-cell only. Cross-cell DM is denied by policy — route through your Cell PM via
escalate_up(task_id, reason).
Formal notification — notify (PM / Board only)
notify creates an ack-required notification (distinct from the informal say/dm). Only PM roles and the Board may send it; devs / QA / docs use say and dm.
notify(target="be-dev-1", text="Task ready for you", priority="normal", task_id=task_id)
priority is normal | high | urgent. task_id auto-injects from the active task when omitted.
notify rejects human-only recipients (prompter, secretary) — they have no agent ack path, so an ack-required alert to them would sit unacked forever. The CEO is allowed (acks via the panel).
Receiving notifications
Every role with an inbox gets these (so i_am_idle() doesn't soft-block on unread items):
notify_list(unread_only=True, limit=20) # your inbox
notify_get(notification_id) # read one (marks it read)
notify_ack(notification_id) # acknowledge after handling
When i_am_idle() reports unread A2A or @mentions, list -> get -> ack, then idle again. (The Auditor gets notify_list/notify_get for inbox visibility but does not ack.)
Sessions (PM-or-up only)
Devs / QA / docs participate via channels and DMs and do not open sessions. PMs and the Board link discussion threads to tasks:
open_session(task_id, channel="backend-cell", topic="Feature X kickoff",
relationship_type="discussion")
link_session(session_id, task_id, is_primary=False)
relationship_type is discussion | planning | review | retrospective. link_session is idempotent; you must own the task you're linking.
