The in-path PR-review gate created a deadlock: when an assembled cell→root / root→master PR fails the gate (pr_fail) — or qa_fail / ceo_reject fires — the PM-owned coordination task lands in needs_revision, which was developer-claim- only. So the task had no actor and no exit but cancel, and the cell PM escalated in a loop (8KB of [ESCALATED] dev_notes on one task). Pre-gate, the PM simply re-delegated from in_progress; the gate routed the failure through the PM's own task instead. Add NEEDS_REVISION to the CELL_PM / MAIN_PM claim rules so the PM re-claims via i_will_plan, revises the plan, and re-delegates the fixes — pr_fail/qa_fail already reassign the failed task to its owning PM and the revision dispatcher re-spawns it; the claim rule was the only missing piece. Scope is by give_me_work routing (offers only the caller's own assigned tasks), the same mechanism that scopes a developer's leaf-revision — NOT a gateway-only ownership gate, which would violate the spec=gateway parity invariant and can't use task_type anyway (main-PM coordination roots can be code-typed). Regenerates panel/lib/lifecycle.json.
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-kitfor 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.

Where things live
src/app/— Next.js App Router pagessrc/components/— React components (organized by feature: tasks, agents, channels, …)src/lib/api/— typed API client (thin wrappers overfetch)src/lib/— constants, utilities, WebSocket hookssrc/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.
