* feat(a2a): deliver latest incoming message preview into the claim briefing
list_unread_a2a now carries last_message_preview (the latest message from the
OTHER agent, never the agent's own reply), fetched via a correlated subquery in
the same query — no N+1 on the per-verb briefing path.
* feat(a2a): read_a2a verb delivers unread message bodies to the agent
A2AService.get_unread_messages returns the caller's unread INCOMING messages
(never its own sends), marking exactly those rows read atomically so a message
arriving mid-call is preserved. Wired as the read_a2a content verb (route +
do_server tool + granted to every delivery role) — the content-bearing read the
A2A inbox lacked (read_messages only zeroed the counter).
* docs(rag): document read_a2a as the A2A content-read path
* fix(task): backlog activation no longer requires a discussion session
Removes the SessionTaskTable gate in activate() (and its dangling log field),
deletes _inherit_parent_session + its create() call, and drops the now-unused
SessionTaskTable import. Coordination rides task state; the session subsystem is
being retired. Tests updated to the new (no-session) behavior.
* fix(orchestrator): drop session sweep from _run_sweep
Removes the messaging import + sweep_timed_out_sessions call. That import sat
outside the try/except, so once messaging.py is deleted it would have killed the
entire sweep cascade (budget kill-switch, token rollups, retention, image prune,
superseded-PR reconcile). Notification sweep + all maintenance sweeps unchanged.
* release-manager --no-tags read-clone fix
* test: update evidence_repo unit test for a2a last_message_preview
* refactor(gateway): drop session propagation on delegate
Removes propagate_sessions_to_subtask from delegate(), the ChoreographerDeps
messaging field + property, and the ChoreographerDeps messaging arg in deps.py
(ContentActions messaging + import stay until the verbs are removed). Deletes the
propagation test; strips the now-invalid messaging kwarg from ChoreographerDeps
test builders.
* refactor(gateway): remove say/open_session/link_session/channels verbs
Removes the four channel/session verbs across content_actions (impls +
ContentActionsDeps.messaging), do_server (tools + registry), role_config (grants
+ _CHANNEL_DISCOVERY), do.py (routes), schemas/v1/do.py (request models), and
deps.py (MessagingService import + construction). Regenerates the prompt verb
tables. dm/notify/read_messages/read_a2a stay. Tests deleted/updated accordingly.
* uv.lock Upgrade
* refactor: remove conversation RAG indexing; Secretary announces via notification
Drops the CONVERSATIONS index (index_conversation, ConversationsIndexPlugin,
IndexType.CONVERSATIONS enum, IndexConversationParams, mentor.py type-label, the
messaging index hook) and its chunk-table manifest entries. The Secretary's
ANNOUNCE/RELAY_MESSAGE now fan out a BROADCAST notification to every agent's
inbox (NotificationService.broadcast) instead of posting to a dead channel.
* fix(panel): label RAG health error lines by subsystem
A red llm_error (e.g. the glm-5.2:cloud weekly-limit 429) rendered under
the 'Embedding: ok' header with no label, reading as an embedding failure.
Prefix each error line with LLM / Embedding / Vector store.
* refactor: remove channel/message reads from metrics, dashboard, git, events
MetricsService drops get_communication_volume + the MessageTable
message-count in get_agent_metrics (and the now-dead messages_sent_week
field). DashboardService drops get_channel_feeds/_compute_channel_status
and the message read in get_recent_activity (task activity kept);
get_auditor_metrics no longer reports communication_volume.
GitService's two primary-session-id helpers always return None now
(callers already treat None as "no primary session"). events/handlers.py
drops the SESSION_CLOSED/SESSION_TIMEOUT subscriptions + the
handle_session_boundary handler.
Forced follow-on: api/routes/dashboard.py + api/schemas/dashboard.py
dropped the now-dangling live_feeds/ChannelFeed surface and the
/metrics/communication route, which wrapped the removed service calls
directly (mypy would otherwise fail on the missing attributes).
* refactor: delete MessagingService + channel seeding
Edited db/__init__.py and services/__init__.py first (drop the unconditional
Channel/Group/Message/Session table + MessagingService re-exports), then
deleted services/messaging.py, then trimmed db/seed.py to only create_agents
(create_channels/create_channel_memberships/create_initial_messages gone).
Forced expansion: api/routes/{channels,groups,sessions,messages}.py import
roboco.services.messaging directly (not through the package __init__), as
does api/routes/tasks.py (the session-links embed on GET /tasks/{id} and the
GET /{id}/sessions route). Deleting messaging.py without addressing these
breaks `import roboco.api.app` immediately, since app.py eagerly imports all
route modules at startup. Since the 4 CRUD route files are 100%
MessagingService-backed with zero independent logic (and are wholesale
deletes in the plan's later API-routes task anyway), deleted them now +
unmounted from app.py/routes/__init__.py; tasks.py got the same surgical
trim its later task already specified (drop session-links embed +
TaskSessionLinkResponse/TaskResponse.sessions). This pulls a slice of that
later work forward — the routes/schemas for channels/groups/sessions/messages
still need their own pass, but their messaging-coupled parts are gone.
Verified with a full-suite collection sweep (12010 tests collected, zero
import errors) beyond the directly touched test dirs, given the expanded
blast radius.
* refactor: remove channel/session/message models, tables, and channel policy
Models: deleted channel.py/group.py/session.py/messaging.py wholesale
(zero external consumers besides the models/__init__.py re-export).
message.py surgically trimmed: removed MessageCreate (dead) and MessageEdit
(never instantiated; ExtractedMessage.edit_history retyped to
list[dict[str, Any]] to match how it's actually persisted — confirmed
ExtractedMessage was never written to any DB table, so MessageTable's
removal carries no functional risk to the kept extraction pipeline).
base.py: removed SessionStatus + ChannelType, kept MessageType. Also
removed the confirmed-dead channels_read/channels_write fields from
models/agent.py:AgentPermissions and models/dashboard.py:ChannelFeedData.
db/tables.py: deleted ChannelTable/GroupTable/SessionTable/SessionTaskTable/
MessageTable, TaskTable.session_links, and JournalEntryTable.session_id —
cascaded through models/journal.py, services/journal.py, and
api/schemas+routes/journals.py (22 plumbing sites).
foundation/policy/communications.py: removed the ChannelSpec/CHANNELS
catalog + TEAM_SCOPED_ROLES/_CELL_*/_AUDITOR_ONLY helpers, kept the
notification policy (Priority/parse_priority/NOTIFY_SENDER_ROLES/
ACK_REQUIRED_BY_TYPE). enforcement/channel_access.py deleted (confirmed
fully dead in production). agents_config.py: removed CHANNEL_ACCESS
(kept A2A_ALLOWED_PAIRS). seeds/initial_data.py: removed
DEFAULT_CHANNELS/CHANNEL_MEMBERSHIPS/AUDITOR_SILENT_ACCESS + the
never-consumed INITIAL_MESSAGES. config.py: removed
session_idle_timeout_seconds (zero consumers). exceptions.py: removed
dead ChannelError/ChannelAccessDeniedError/SessionClosedError.
Forced expansion beyond the original file list — ChannelType cascaded
into a live, mounted surface the plan didn't trace: agents_config.
CHANNEL_ACCESS -> services/permissions.py's channel-RBAC methods (not
models/permissions.py, which turned out to have no channel code at all)
-> two real endpoints in api/routes/stream.py (GET /permissions,
GET /permissions/channel/{name}) and two dependency factories in
api/deps.py. Removed the channel methods + fields, deleted the
channel-specific stream.py endpoint, deleted require_channel_read/write.
Also deleted api/schemas/{channels,sessions}.py (hard dependency on the
removed enums; already fully dead after the Task 10 route deletions) and
api/schemas/messages.py (a TYPE_CHECKING-only import of the deleted
MessageTable; likewise already fully dead) + its dedicated test file.
Test updates: test_permissions.py -14 channel tests (matches the planned
count exactly), test_communications.py / test_communications_consumers.py
split to keep only notification-policy coverage, test_exceptions.py -9,
test_deps.py -4, plus the journal/stream/foundation-smoke fallout. Also
fixed a pre-existing (Task 7) broken assertion in
test_foundation_phase3_smoke.py that inspected a `say()` method already
removed from ContentActions.
Verified: full-suite collection (11961 tests, zero import errors) and a
complete test run (11567 passed, 394 skipped, 0 failed) in addition to
the targeted suites.
* migration: drop channels/groups/sessions/session_tasks/messages + enum types
alembic/versions/060_drop_messaging.py: drop_column journal_entries.
session_id (sidesteps hardcoding the FK constraint name — verified
empirically against a live migrated DB that it's actually
fk_journal_entries_session_id_sessions, but drop_column doesn't care
either way); drop_table in FK order (messages -> session_tasks ->
sessions -> groups -> channels); DROP TABLE IF EXISTS chunks_conversations
(runtime-provisioned, not alembic-managed, would otherwise orphan); DROP
TYPE IF EXISTS for messagetype/sessionstatus/sessionscope/channeltype
(messagetype's Python enum stays for ExtractedMessage, but the DB type
had zero live columns left once MessageTable was dropped in the prior
commit). downgrade() raises NotImplementedError — one-way removal.
Pruned scripts/reset_runtime_state.sql + .sh: removed the DELETE/COUNT
lines for messages/session_tasks/sessions/groups/channels and the
groups.active_session_id reset block.
Verified end-to-end against a scratch Postgres DB: full migration chain
001->060 applies cleanly, alembic heads shows a single head, all 6 dropped
tables + 4 enum types + the journal_entries.session_id column are
confirmed gone, journal_entries keeps only its journal_id/task_id FKs,
downgrade correctly raises NotImplementedError without corrupting DB
state, and the pruned reset_runtime_state.sql runs clean (no errors)
against a fully-migrated DB.
* refactor(api): remove channel/session/message routes + WS streams
Most of this task's file list was already forced through in earlier
commits (routes/{channels,groups,sessions,messages}.py + app.py/__init__.py
unmounting in the MessagingService-deletion commit; tasks.py's
session-links embed + GET /{id}/sessions + schemas/tasks.py's
TaskResponse.sessions in that same commit; deps.py's require_channel_read/
write + schemas/{channels,sessions}.py in the models/tables commit). This
closes out what was left:
- api/websocket.py: deleted the channel_stream + session_stream routes,
ConnectionManager's channel_connections/session_connections dicts,
connect_channel/connect_session, broadcast_to_channel/broadcast_to_session,
get_channel_subscriber_count, and their cleanup lines in disconnect().
Agent streams, notification streams, and the operator system stream are
untouched.
- api/websocket_bridge.py: deleted _handle_session_event +
_handle_message_event and their SESSION_CREATED/SESSION_CLOSED/
SESSION_TIMEOUT/MESSAGE_SENT subscriptions. The A2A live-view, rate-limit,
usage, agent-lifecycle, and notification bridges are untouched.
- api/schemas/websocket.py: removed NewMessageBroadcast, WSMessageNew,
WSMessageEdit, WSMessageDelete, WSSessionClosed — kept the WSMessage base
class (still subclassed by the kept WSAgentStream/WSNotification) plus
those two.
- api/schemas/groups.py: deleted (already fully orphaned since routes/
groups.py was removed; its GroupResponse/GroupDetailResponse had zero
consumers).
Updated the 5 websocket test files accordingly (removed the channel/
session-specific tests + fixed imports); test_websocket_bridge.py's
registration-coverage test dropped the SESSION_*/MESSAGE_SENT assertions.
Verified: full-suite collection (11943 tests, zero import errors) and a
complete test run (11549 passed, 394 skipped, 0 failed).
* docs: retire channels/sessions/messages from agent-facing docs + CLAUDE.md
Rewrites docs/rag (RAG-indexed) + docs/map + CLAUDE.md to reflect A2A (dm +
read_a2a) as primary agent comms; deletes the channel docs, splits messaging-tools
+ messaging-notification (renamed notification.md), swaps the WS worked example to
A2A_MESSAGE_SENT. _complete_map.md still needs regeneration (generated file).
* refactor(panel): remove Communications surface (channels/sessions)
Deletes the /communications routes, message components, task-detail Sessions tab,
use-channels + channel/session WS hooks, and the channels/sessions/messages/groups
api clients; prunes the Channel/Session/Message/Group types + mock data. (Auditor
live-feeds + dashboard.ts dead-route cleanup is a follow-up.)
* refactor(panel): drop auditor channel-feed + dead communication-metric route
* docs(map): regenerate _complete_map from updated slices
* fix(a2a): reduce get_unread_messages complexity below xenon C + stale comments
Extract the per-conversation unread-counter recompute into _reset_unread_counter
(the CI quality gate flagged get_unread_messages as rank C). Also drop the deleted
open_session from a content_actions comment and reword an evidence_repo docstring
that cited the removed messaging._notify_mentions.

Panel — RoboCo Control Panel Map
Purpose
The Next.js 16 control panel (panel/, package roboco-panel v0.14.0) is the single operator UI for the human CEO: it drives intake/prompter chats, task/kanban management, agent observability, metrics, release approval, playbook curation, and feature-flag arming. It is served internally on port 3000 behind the nginx reverse proxy and talks to the orchestrator exclusively over relative /api + /ws URLs.

Data Flow
Browser → nginx :3000 → (panel Next.js server for pages; /api/* and /ws/* proxied to orchestrator:8000). All client calls use relative URLs: API_URL="/api" (axios baseURL) and WS_URL="/ws" (getWebSocketUrl) — no CORS because the browser sees one origin. When cloud auth is armed (ROBOCO_CLOUD_AUTH_ENABLED), every navigation to a (dashboard) route first runs proxy.ts (Next 16's rename of middleware.ts), which probes /auth/status directly against the docker-internal orchestrator URL (not through nginx) and redirects to /login when no roboco_session cookie is present; a probe failure/timeout fails OPEN to "cloud auth off" so a slow/unreachable backend never blocks navigation. The login page ((auth)/login/page.tsx) posts credentials via authApi.login (OAuth2 form body, FastAPI Users' cookie route) and the session cookie rides back on the response. The shared axios client injects X-Agent-ID=<CEO_AGENT_ID> + X-Agent-Role=CEO_ROLE headers for API authorization. Live events flow: orchestrator StreamEventBus → websocket_bridge → per-resource /ws/{agents,notifications,system} sockets → panel useWebSocket hooks → zustand stores / TanStack Query cache. Usage snapshots (USAGE_SNAPSHOT) and rate-limit lifecycle (RATE_LIMIT_HIT/LIFTED) arrive on the single shared /ws/system stream mounted in providers; on any non-connected state the usage store clears its snapshot so the panel falls back to HTTP-polling summary until a fresh frame lands. The A2A page's useA2ALiveStream is a second, independent consumer of that same shared /ws/system connection (not a new socket): every persisted A2A message publishes an a2a.message frame, which the page uses purely to invalidate-on-frame (REST via a2aApi stays the source of truth for full message bodies, since the frame's excerpt is capped) and to drive the switchboard's 45s pulse fade on the matching pair card.

Gotchas
- Relative URLs only (
/api,/ws); overridingNEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL/NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URLto an absolute URL reintroduces CORS — leave defaults. /ws/systemis a single shared instance mounted once in providers; a seconduseWebSocket("/system")would open a second socket.getWebSocketUrlalready supplies/ws, so pass only the path (passing/ws/systemdoubled to/ws/ws/system— now fixed and commented).- Usage snapshot cleared on any non-
connectedstate so a reconnect can't render the prior session's totals as live; panel falls back to HTTP polling summary during the gap. - Intake composer SSE uses
EventSource(no custom headers — auth is server-side via session id); a transport-levelerrorevent loop-reconnects a dead session — guard kept inuse-prompter.ts(a stale localStorage payload or malformed frame could still surface a phantom draft). - Secretary live chat (
use-secretary.ts) now mirrors that intake-composer resilience (post-2026-06-30): a transport-level SSEerrorresets thestreamingspinner + surfaces a notice (no permanent "thinking…" hang),sendis blocked while a reply is streaming (no mid-reply clobber), and the chat persists tolocalStorageand reconnects on reload (status-alive gated). - MegaTask intake card historically had crash/disappears bugs (list[str] nest, depth ValueError→500); confirm-batch path is the multi-project branch (
project_ids). - Kanban drag = admin status-override which bypasses the in-band lifecycle validator;
skippedPreconditionsonly warns on what the panel can detect (PR/docs/subtasks-terminal) — precision over recall, an empty list does NOT mean the move is safe, only that nothing detectable is skipped. — FIXED (ui-storeexists under bothstore/ui-store.tsandlib/stores/ui-store.ts536bbb64):lib/stores/ui-store.tswas removed and replaced withscroll-restoration-store.ts;store/ui-store.tsis now the sole canonical location.proxy.tsis Next.js 16's renamedmiddleware.ts— same file-convention contract (default export +config.matcher), just relocated/renamed terminology (it never ran in true Edge middleware). A reader searching the repo formiddleware.tswill find nothing; the gate lives atsrc/proxy.ts.proxy.tsfails OPEN, not closed — a slow/unreachable orchestrator on the/auth/statusprobe (1500ms timeout) is treated as "cloud auth off," so the dashboard stays reachable rather than the CEO getting locked out by a transient backend hiccup. This is the deliberately safe default (off is what every deploy starts on) but means a genuinely-armed deployment with a flaky orchestrator could intermittently skip the login gate.- X Post Queue / Roadmap Review Queue hide when empty, mirroring the release-proposal + playbook queues — a CEO who doesn't see the card has no signal that the underlying engine is even armed; both need
refetchInterval: 30000to surface a newly-originated draft/cycle without a manual refresh. - A2A page activity is A2A-only by design:
latestPulseTimestamps(switchboard-utils) derives pulses purely froma2a.messageframes on/ws/system, never from the verb/flow traffic sharing that same stream — a CEO ruling, not an oversight, so don't "fix" the switchboard to also light up on ordinary gateway verbs. - A2A reply composer is read-only on a task-less conversation: the backend's
reply_as_ceoroute 400s exactly when the watched conversation has notask_id(A2A sends always ride the gatewaysendpath, which requires one) — the panel pre-empts that bounce with an explanatory message instead of letting the POST fail. Conversationstatusdoes NOT gate the composer; the CEO's reply lands in its own direct thread with the participant, not into the watched conversation. - Switchboard "peeked pair" state: a pair with
conversation_id: null(never talked) has nothing to select via?conversation=, sopage.tsxtracks it separately (peekedPair) and renders its own empty state — don't conflate this with the ordinaryselectedIdempty-state path when touching the drill-in panel.
Drift from CLAUDE.md
- CLAUDE.md says panel lives at
roboco/panel/inside this repo — confirmed (no longer a separateroboco-panelproject). No drift. - CLAUDE.md lists
/ws/systemevents (RATE_LIMIT_HIT/LIFTED,USAGE_SNAPSHOT) — matchesuse-rate-limit-websocket.ts. No drift. - CLAUDE.md names the release-proposal card
release-proposal-card.tsxand routes/api/release/proposal{,/approve,/reject}— matches. No drift. - CLAUDE.md names
playbook-review-queue.tsx+/api/playbooksAuditor/CEO routes — matches. No drift. - CLAUDE.md feature-flag list matches
feature-flags-card.tsxFLAG_DESCRIPTIONS keys. No drift. - None.

Regression Risks
| Title | File:Line | Claim | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Release-proposal silent hide on non-404 error | components/dashboard/release-proposal-card.tsx:120 |
A genuine 500/network error from /api/release/proposal collapsing onto !proposal would hide the card silently; the fix surfaces an error+retry card, but releaseApi.getProposal must keep mapping only 404→null — any other null-return path reintroduces the blind spot |
High |
| Approve dialog notes-required labeling | components/dashboard/release-proposal-card.tsx:60 |
Approve path needs no notes (executor is fail-closed), reject requires ≥10 chars; if the shared RequiredNotesDialog is ever reused for approve it would mislabel the CEO action as requiring a reason |
Medium |
Stale usage snapshot on /ws/system leave |
hooks/use-rate-limit-websocket.ts:71 |
Snapshot is cleared on state !== "connected" but only via this single effect; if a future second subscriber or an unmount-without-state-change path skips the effect, the prior session's totals/cost could render as live |
Medium |
| Kanban admin-override drag skips lifecycle | components/kanban/core/kanban-board.tsx:160 |
A confirmed override routes through useUpdateTask (admin status-override), bypassing the in-band validator; skippedPreconditions is precision-over-recall — an empty list does not guarantee safety, and a careless confirm can still complete a task with no PR / QA-bypass / docs-incomplete |
High |
| Intake composer SSE stuck | hooks/use-prompter.ts:678 |
EventSource auto-reconnects on transport error; the guard stops loop-reconnecting a dead session, but a server that drops without closing the SSE leaves isSending=true until turn_end arrives — the composer can appear stuck mid-send |
Medium |
| Panel token on live-chat bridges | lib/api/prompter-live.ts:89 |
EventSource cannot send custom headers, so the live-intake SSE carries no X-Agent-* auth headers — auth relies entirely on the session id being unguessable; any session-id leakage grants stream access |
Medium |
ui-store paths |
store/ui-store.ts vs lib/stores/ui-store.ts |
RESOLVED (536bbb64): lib/stores/ui-store.ts removed; lib/stores/ now exports scroll-restoration-store only; store/ui-store.ts is sole canonical |
Low |
| Single-commit 141-gaps fill-in blast radius | 15effce0 (#283) |
All panel regression-relevant fixes landed in one commit; a partial revert to fix one surface can drop the others (release error card, kanban prompt, usage clear, /ws/system path fix) |
High |
Health
The panel is a mature, well-structured Next.js 16 App-Router app: clean domain folders, TanStack Query for server state, zustand for client state, a single shared /ws/system subscriber, and recent hardening around the high-stakes CEO surfaces (release proposal, playbook queue, kanban override, usage snapshot). The chief fragility is concentration: nearly every logic-relevant fix since the baseline landed in one 141-gaps fill-in commit, so any partial revert risks re-opening several independent blinds spots at once. The ui-store duplicate was resolved (536bbb64); the remaining standing hygiene item is the kanban admin-override bypass (no-PR / QA-skip / docs-incomplete moves can still be confirmed).
