7901ea419e Retire channels/sessions/messages; A2A becomes primary agent comms (#306)
* 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superseded-PR reconcile).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 StreamEventBuswebsocket_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.

Dependencies

  • Next.js 16.1.1 (App Router, (dashboard) route group) + React 19.2
  • Tailwind 4 + @tailwindcss/typography + tw-animate-css
  • Radix UI primitives (dialog, dropdown, select, tabs, switch, tooltip, popover, …) wrapped in components/ui/*
  • TanStack React Query 5.90 for server state; zustand 5 for client stores (usage, rate-limit, notifications, ui)
  • axios 1.13 shared client; react-hook-form 7 + zod 4 + @hookform/resolvers for forms
  • @dnd-kit/core + sortable + utilities for kanban drag
  • recharts 3 for usage charts; react-markdown 9 + remark-gfm for markdown render
  • sonner toasts; next-themes dark mode; date-fns; lucide-react icons
  • Vitest 4 + jsdom + @testing-library for tests; pnpm 10.25 package manager

Entry Points

  • nginx :3000 single external entry; routes /api/*+/ws/*→orchestrator:8000, else→panel:3000
  • App Router src/app/layout.tsx(dashboard)/layout.tsx → per-page page.tsx
  • pnpm dev (next dev), pnpm build + pnpm start (production), pnpm test (vitest)

Config Flags

feature-flags-card.tsx persists toggles to the settings store (effective on next backend restart); unset → env/config default. Toggles include:

  • external_pr_enabled / internal_pr_enabled — PR review surfaces
  • research_enabled — Board/PM web research
  • strategy_engine_enabled — strategy artifacts
  • self_heal_enabled + self_heal_originate_enabled — own-repo CI self-heal (+ originate)
  • provisioning_enabled — pitch→project auto-provisioning
  • toolchain_match_enabled — agent runtime toolchain match
  • conventions_enabled — architectural-conventions standard
  • gateway_health_enabled — gateway-health recovery
  • ci_watch_enabled — multi-repo CI-watch
  • dep_update_enabled — dependency-update bot
  • release_manager_enabled — gated release manager
  • org_memory_enabled — organizational memory loop
  • sandbox_db_enabled — sandboxed per-agent test DB/Redis
  • x_engine_enabled — X (Twitter) engine (release-post + mention-reply drafts, all CEO-held)
  • roadmap_engine_enabled — board roadmap engine (weekly Product-Owner-authored cycle)
  • routing_strict — fail-closed model routing (refuse to silently downgrade to the legacy Anthropic path on a disabled provider)

Deliberately not on this card (compose/env-coupled, unsafe for a runtime toggle): ROBOCO_CLOUD_AUTH_ENABLED and ROBOCO_DB_NETWORK_ISOLATED.

Gotchas

  • Relative URLs only (/api, /ws); overriding NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL/NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL to an absolute URL reintroduces CORS — leave defaults.
  • /ws/system is a single shared instance mounted once in providers; a second useWebSocket("/system") would open a second socket. getWebSocketUrl already supplies /ws, so pass only the path (passing /ws/system doubled to /ws/ws/system — now fixed and commented).
  • Usage snapshot cleared on any non-connected state 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-level error event loop-reconnects a dead session — guard kept in use-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 SSE error resets the streaming spinner + surfaces a notice (no permanent "thinking…" hang), send is blocked while a reply is streaming (no mid-reply clobber), and the chat persists to localStorage and 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; skippedPreconditions only 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.
  • ui-store exists under both store/ui-store.ts and lib/stores/ui-store.tsFIXED (536bbb64): lib/stores/ui-store.ts was removed and replaced with scroll-restoration-store.ts; store/ui-store.ts is now the sole canonical location.
  • proxy.ts is Next.js 16's renamed middleware.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 for middleware.ts will find nothing; the gate lives at src/proxy.ts.
  • proxy.ts fails OPEN, not closed — a slow/unreachable orchestrator on the /auth/status probe (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: 30000 to surface a newly-originated draft/cycle without a manual refresh.
  • A2A page activity is A2A-only by design: latestPulseTimestamps (switchboard-utils) derives pulses purely from a2a.message frames 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_ceo route 400s exactly when the watched conversation has no task_id (A2A sends always ride the gateway send path, which requires one) — the panel pre-empts that bounce with an explanatory message instead of letting the POST fail. Conversation status does 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=, so page.tsx tracks it separately (peekedPair) and renders its own empty state — don't conflate this with the ordinary selectedId empty-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 separate roboco-panel project). No drift.
  • CLAUDE.md lists /ws/system events (RATE_LIMIT_HIT/LIFTED, USAGE_SNAPSHOT) — matches use-rate-limit-websocket.ts. No drift.
  • CLAUDE.md names the release-proposal card release-proposal-card.tsx and routes /api/release/proposal{,/approve,/reject} — matches. No drift.
  • CLAUDE.md names playbook-review-queue.tsx + /api/playbooks Auditor/CEO routes — matches. No drift.
  • CLAUDE.md feature-flag list matches feature-flags-card.tsx FLAG_DESCRIPTIONS keys. No drift.
  • None.

Changes Since Baseline

git log --oneline fd10cc862c2020b3f639cdb686d427b0198a2441..HEAD -- panel/:

  • 15effce0 Chore: 141 Gaps fill-in (#283) — the only panel-touching commit in range; broad fill-in pass (release-proposal error-surface fix, kanban bypass-precondition prompt, usage-snapshot clear-on-disconnect, /ws/system doubled-path fix, required-notes dialog, SSE loop-reconnect guard). Single commit, large surface — high regression-blast-radius.

Post-snapshot updates (since 2026-06-29): five panel-touching commits landed on chore/logical-gaps-element-sweep-fixes / merge #286.

  • 536bbb64 Chore/all/logical gaps sweep (#286) — kanban sends force: true for hatch states (COMPLETED/AWAITING_QA/AWAITING_PM_REVIEW); TaskUpdate gains { force?: boolean }; lib/stores/ui-store.ts removed, replaced by scroll-restoration-store.ts; lib/stores/index.ts re-exports scroll-restoration only; prompter-live.ts comment hardened to treat session id as bearer credential.
  • aba57359 lifecycle artifacts: panel/lib/lifecycle.json regenerated to match spec.
  • 76ce53e3 chat: live MESSAGE_SENT delivery — adds useSessionStream to use-websocket.ts; new communications/[sessionId]/page.tsx session detail route consumes it; backend adds EventType.MESSAGE_SENT, bridge _handle_message_event, messaging.send_message bus publish.
  • 0065ecbb chat: session task_links in one read — sessionsApi drops getTasksForSession; use-channels.ts (since removed in the comms teardown) useSession relies on the single populated response; adds use-session.test.tsx.
  • 2da72f3f chat: closed-session guard + reply_to validation — communications/[sessionId]/page.tsx renders read-only notice for closed sessions; stale-send toasts rather than silently vanishing.
  • 5cb4e85f secretary: stuck-spinner + mid-reply + reload hardening (use-secretary.ts, secretary-tab.tsx); adds use-secretary.test.tsx.
  • a1127daf chat: linkTask/unlinkTask corrected to real backend routes; phantom updateTaskLink removed from sessions.ts.
  • da563487 Wave 2: A2A live view (#297) — new app/(dashboard)/a2a/page.tsx (classic list view + transcript + A2AReplyComposer), hooks/use-a2a-live.ts, lib/api/a2a.ts admin client, useA2ALiveStream added to use-websocket.ts. Backend pairs with EventType.A2A_MESSAGE_SENT + websocket_bridge._handle_a2a_message_event.
  • 876e19b3 A2A switchboard (#298) — page.tsx gains the switchboard/list view toggle (default switchboard) + peekedPair state; new components/a2a/{a2a-switchboard,a2a-switchboard-utils,a2a-pair-card}.tsx; useA2AAdminPairs added to use-a2a-live.ts.
  • a7147702 feat(panel): full mobile responsiveness pass — touches the A2A page's single-visible-pane layout (h-dvh, back affordance) among other routes.

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
Duplicate ui-store paths FIXED 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).
