* fix(orchestrator,panel): bound the respawn loop gate and give the CEO a status override
The PM respawn loop gate could never fire on a recurring tracing_gap: every
same-status respawn that emitted a tracing_gap reset the strike counter, so a
task whose unblock can never satisfy its decision gate respawned forever. Cap
the number of tracing_gap resets (pm_respawn_max_tracing_resets) so strikes
accrue once a gap is clearly recurring rather than progressing, and route the
pm-review and blocker dispatch respawn paths through the gate so it actually
applies to those loops.
Panel: the task status dropdown was driven solely by the lifecycle graph, so a
task wedged in a terminal/blocked state offered no actionable transitions. Add
an audited admin status override (PATCH status -> admin_set_status) for every
non-in-band target, letting the human operator force any state.
* feat(git): add rebase_onto_base and close_pull_request PR-divergence primitives
Agents had no way to resolve a PR that could not merge because a sibling merged
overlapping work first: their only moves were complete (which 405s) or block
(which loops). Add the two missing operations:
- rebase_onto_base rebases a head branch onto the latest base and classifies
the outcome: superseded (no unique commits -> safe to close), rebased (unique
work -> force-pushed, ready to merge), or conflicts (aborted, needs a human).
- close_pull_request retires a superseded PR with an explanatory comment.
These back both the sequence-ordered merge and the conflict resolver.
* feat(gateway): auto-resolve a leaf PR that can't merge instead of looping
When a sibling lands overlapping work first, the cell PM's complete() merge
hits a GitHub 405 and the task re-blocks, respawning the PM forever (the
production wedge: one task burned 6000+ tool calls over 3 hours). The merge
now raises MergeConflictError, and cell_pm_complete resolves it:
- rebase the branch onto the current base;
- superseded (no unique commits) -> close the dead PR + complete the task
without a redundant merge (the manual action operators kept requesting);
- rebased (unique work) -> retry the merge, then complete;
- genuine conflicts -> admin-override the task to awaiting_ceo_approval and
alert the CEO, so it leaves agent dispatch instead of looping.
MergeConflictError subclasses GitError, so existing handlers are unaffected.
* test(git): silence unused-arg lint in close_pull_request stub
* feat(orchestrator): sequence-ordered merge for leaf siblings
Leaf siblings share one cell branch, but within-cell siblings were all left at
the default sequence 0, so two leaf PRs raced into the same branch and the
second wedged. Now:
- decomposition assigns each new sibling the next ordinal within its parent, so
the merge order is well-defined;
- the pm-review dispatcher holds a higher-sequence leaf until its earlier
same-team siblings are terminal, so they merge into the shared branch in order
instead of racing.
Loop-free by construction: a gated task is simply not dispatched this tick (no
reject, no respawn). Terminal siblings never block, so a cancelled sibling can't
deadlock the rest; any sibling lookup failure degrades to dispatch.
* test: use monkeypatch.setattr instead of type:ignore in new tests
CI type-checks tests/ (the type-gated suite) which my local 'mypy roboco/' skipped.
The method-mock assignments tripped mypy method-assign/assignment; replace the
silencing comments with monkeypatch.setattr and local mock refs for assertions,
matching the project's no-type:ignore rule.
* fix(git): stop get_status misreporting an unstaged deletion as staged
git_status used stdout.strip().split() before parsing porcelain. strip() eats
the leading space on the first line, so an unstaged deletion (' D file') became
'D file' and parsed as a STAGED deletion — the false 'staged' that caused 6
wasted QA cycles when a dev deleted a file without staging it. Use splitlines(),
which preserves the index/worktree status columns.
* feat(panel): mobile sidebar hamburger + Sheet drawer (AC1)
The umbrella's AC1 was never built: on mobile the sidebar had no entry point.
Extract the nav/footer into shared SidebarNav/SidebarFooter, hide the static
sidebar below md, and add a hamburger in the header that opens the same nav in a
left Sheet drawer (closing on navigation). Desktop is unchanged.

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.
Build scripts
pnpm dev— development server with hot reloadpnpm build— production build (outputs.next/standalone/)pnpm start— run the standalone buildpnpm lint— ESLint
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.
