The CEO Approve dialog's notes label fell into the default branch
('Notes (optional') for the approve action, but approve actually
requires substantive notes >= 20 chars — enforced client-side
(toast error on < 20) and server-side. So the CEO was told 'optional'
and only learned the real requirement from a toast after hitting
submit with empty notes.
approve and start both require >= 20 chars; reject only requires a
reason. Collapse the label to two branches: reject -> 'Reason for
rejection (required)'; everything else (approve + start) ->
'Approval notes (required, >= 20 characters)'. The approve
placeholder now also signals intent ('Why this is ready to ship...').
Tests: render the queue, click Approve, assert the notes label says
'required' + '20' and does NOT say 'optional'. RED: label read
'Notes (optional)'; GREEN: 'Approval notes (required, >= 20
characters)'. eslint/typecheck/prettier clean.
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.
