Renn F ddcee7ceb8 fix(panel): resolve agent names from the live roster so they never drift
A review task assigned to the pr-reviewer rendered as a truncated raw
UUID instead of its name. Root cause: the panel resolved assignees from a
hardcoded static roster in agent-utils.ts that had drifted — it never
gained the board-adjacent agents added backend-side (intake-1,
secretary-1, pr-reviewer-1). Their UUIDs hit no map entry, so
getAgentDisplayName fell through to the unknown-UUID branch and returned
agentId.slice(0, 8). Every assignee surface (task table, task detail,
subtasks, journals, communications, commit cards) shares that resolver, so
all of them showed the fragment.

Make the live /api/agents roster the source of truth instead of a static
duplicate that silently rots:

- agent-utils: add a runtime registry (registerAgentRoster) keyed by both
  UUID and slug; resolveToSlug / getAgentDisplayName / isKnownAgent consult
  it first. The static maps remain only as an offline / first-paint
  fallback (now complete with the three agents).
- api/agents: surface the backend UUID on AgentDefinition (getAll/getOne
  previously dropped it), so the registry can key by UUID.
- use-agents: add useAgentRosterSync (registers the live roster) and derive
  useAgents from live definitions, falling back to the static roster.
- providers: mount the sync once inside QueryClientProvider.

Now any agent the backend knows about resolves, including ones added after
this change — the panel can no longer drift out of sync.

Tests: agent-utils unit tests cover the three agents end-to-end, a
live-roster-only agent (drift-proofing), live-overrides-static, and a
regression guard for the existing roster.

RoboCo Control Panel

Next.js 16 control panel for the RoboCo AI agent system. Formerly a separate repository (rennf93/roboco-panel), now vendored under panel/ in this monorepo so docker compose up -d brings up the whole stack from one place.

Stack

  • Next.js 16 (App Router, standalone output)
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Radix UI primitives
  • dnd-kit for drag/drop (kanban)
  • pnpm for package management

Running in production (the normal path)

Use the root-level Docker Compose:

# from the repo root (one level up from this directory)
docker compose up -d

The panel is built as part of the compose stack via docker/panel.Dockerfile and served internally on port 3000. Nginx (also in the compose stack) is the single externally-exposed service on http://localhost:3000 and routes:

  • /api/* and /ws/* → orchestrator (FastAPI, port 8000)
  • everything else → the Next.js panel

The panel uses relative URLs (/api/v1, /ws) so nothing here needs a backend URL in .env.

Running the panel alone for UI development

cd panel
pnpm install
pnpm dev

That gives you Next dev-server on localhost:3000, but you still need the orchestrator reachable at localhost:8000 (or via nginx) for API calls to work. Easiest: docker compose up -d the backend services, then run pnpm dev against that.

Build scripts

  • pnpm dev — development server with hot reload
  • pnpm build — production build (outputs .next/standalone/)
  • pnpm start — run the standalone build
  • pnpm lint — ESLint

Where things live

  • src/app/ — Next.js App Router pages
  • src/components/ — React components (organized by feature: tasks, agents, channels, …)
  • src/lib/api/ — typed API client (thin wrappers over fetch)
  • src/lib/ — constants, utilities, WebSocket hooks
  • src/types/ — shared TypeScript types mirroring backend schemas

Backend schema changes

When the backend changes response shapes, mirror them in src/types/ and the relevant src/lib/api/ module. Keep API paths relative so nginx routing keeps working.
