879afc14a4 Board Program LEARN context, ruff 0.16, and verb-rejection observability (#700)
* fix(board): LEARN decisions name the item, not its per-cycle index

A cycle's reject reasons are rendered into the NEXT cycle's exploration
prompt, but the ref recorded alongside each reason was the item's stored
id (item-0/item-1) — a per-cycle index that means something different
every cycle and appears nowhere the explorer can resolve. The reason
survived the loop; what it was about did not.

Record the item's title instead, via a shared learn_ref() helper (falls
back to the id when title-less, and reads target_task_title for Scales,
whose items name the live task they mutate).

* chore(lint): satisfy ruff 0.16 — keyword-only signatures and markdown formatting

The dev toolchain resolved ruff 0.16.0, which stabilises PLR0917 (too many
positional arguments) and formats python code blocks inside markdown. Both
fired repo-wide and neither had anything to do with the code they flagged.

- 36 signatures gain a `*` so their tail arguments are keyword-only, and
  the 104 call sites that passed them positionally are converted. mypy was
  the safety net for the static ones; the full suite caught nine more that
  only bind at runtime (the MCP tool functions, whose real callers already
  pass named JSON arguments).
- 28 markdown files reformatted by 0.16's code-block formatter.
- One RUF036 (`None` mid-union) autofixed in the GitLab provider.

* fix(gateway): log the reason when a verb rejects

A rejected envelope rides an HTTP 200, its body is never logged, and there
is no trace table — so in the access log a verb an agent could not satisfy
looks identical to one that worked. On 2026-07-25 four Board Programs
(Periscope, Sentinel, Scales, Barfly) each POSTed their propose verb three
or four times, persisted nothing, and left their exploration tasks PENDING;
the reason was unrecoverable afterwards, from the logs or from the agents'
own transcripts.

Log error/message/remediate/missing plus the calling agent at
envelope_to_response — the one chokepoint every v1 flow and do route
returns through. Success envelopes stay silent.

RAG Knowledge Base Documentation

Optimized documentation for the RoboCo AI agent knowledge base. Each file is sized for effective RAG chunking.

Structure

docs/rag/
├── roles/           # Agent role responsibilities
├── workflows/       # Step-by-step task flows
├── standards/       # Coding, security, testing rules
├── architecture/    # System components
├── tools/           # MCP tools reference
└── troubleshooting/ # Common issues and fixes

Organization Principles

  1. One topic per file - Each file covers a single concept
  2. Chunk-friendly - Content fits in 512-1536 token chunks
  3. Self-contained - Each file provides complete context
  4. Actionable - Focus on what agents need to DO

For Agents

When searching the knowledge base:

  • Use roboco_kb_search() for semantic search
  • Use roboco_rag_query() for AI-synthesized answers
  • Use roboco_ask_mentor() for conversational help

See docs/rag/tools/kb-tools.md for the full KB tool reference.
