* feat(lifecycle): revision findings ledger — structured QA/PR/PM/CEO failure feedback, persisted and delivered down the chain Every bounce used to survive only as flattened prose: rounds overwrote each other in notes_structured, request_changes persisted nothing, two raw dev_notes appends were silently destroyed by the next handoff note, and the dev prompt pointed at fields (qa_notes via evidence(), pm_notes) the API never delivered. Agents re-interpreted and re-discovered every failure before they could start fixing it. - task_review_findings (migration 071, append-only): file/line/severity/ criterion(AC-id-validated)/expected/actual/fix/evidence per finding, with origin (qa|pr_gate|pm|ceo), round, and an open->addressed->verified lifecycle (waived reserved); new tasks.pm_notes + PmReviewContent give request_changes a structured home - producers: fail_review/pr_fail/request_changes take findings=[...] (prose issues shimmed+merged for one release, deprecation-logged); ceo_reject validates its reason (no 500), lands an origin=ceo finding, and bumps round+audit on branchless coordination roots; guardrails at the verb chokepoint (nudge >5, hard reject >10, field caps, traversal-safe file); the dev_notes data-loss appends are removed; new task.request_changes + task.ceo_reject audit events close rework attribution - delivery: qa_notes/pr_reviewer_notes/pm_notes carry the deterministic [F-id8] rendering; claim briefings, evidence(), the REVISION_REQUIRED spawn prompt, PM triage bounced-blocks, and A2A bodies deliver open findings; round-N+1 QA and gate reviewers get the full prior ledger; panel Findings tab + bounced-xN chip; metrics pm_rejects/ceo_rejects + findings counts; vault task notes render a Findings section (fail-open) - resolution closes for every origin: i_am_done and submit_up/submit_root take resolved_findings gated by FINDINGS_ADDRESSED (owner-gated so a stale non-owner PM can never mutate the ledger); pass_review/pr_pass/ complete verify-stamp same-transaction; ceo_approve stamps best-effort - 24 real-DB integration tests drive the full loop through the real choreographer; full suite 12856 green * docs: revision findings ledger sweep — CLAUDE.md, map, RAG corpus - CLAUDE.md: new ledger section + corrected request_changes row - docs/map/review-findings.md (new subsystem map) + surgical updates to task-service/pr-gate-review/metrics-observability/vault/panel maps - docs/rag: producers' findings contract across qa/pr-reviewer/developer/ cell-pm/main-pm/ceo role docs (the PM docs were missing request_changes entirely), verb references, and a new architecture/review-findings.md disambiguating ledger findings from convention findings * test(e2e): resubmit resolves the pr_fail finding per the ledger contract The scripted pr_fail revision loop resubmitted submit_up without resolved_findings — correctly rejected now that FINDINGS_ADDRESSED gates the PM resubmit verbs (green locally, red only in CI since the e2e suite skips without ROBOCO_E2E_SMOKE=1). The scripted PM now reads the open ledger row pr_fail persisted (new open_finding_ids arc helper) and resolves it on resubmit, asserting the open set drains — exercising the coordinator half of the new contract end to end. --------- Co-authored-by: Renn F <rennf93@users.noreply.github.com>

# Task Management Tools
|
|
|
|
There is **no** `roboco_task_*` tool surface. Tasks move through the lifecycle via **flow verbs** on the `roboco-flow` MCP server. Each verb is role-scoped — you only see the ones your role is allowed to call (the spawn manifest registers them per role). Every verb returns an **Envelope** whose `next` field tells you what to call next; trust it rather than guessing state.
|
|
|
|
The verbs below are grouped by who calls them.
|
|
|
|
## Developer flow
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
give_me_work() # returns your most-actionable pending task
|
|
i_will_work_on(task_id, plan="...")
|
|
# claims + sets plan + starts; auto-creates and
|
|
# checks out feature/{team}/{task-hierarchy}
|
|
commit(message, files=None) # content tool — repeat per change (auto-pushed)
|
|
open_pr(task_id) # pushes branch + opens the PR
|
|
i_am_done(task_id, notes="", resolved_findings=None)
|
|
# verifying -> awaiting_qa (PR must already be open);
|
|
# on a bounced task, name every open ledger finding
|
|
# via resolved_findings=[{finding_id, commit?, note?}]
|
|
i_am_blocked(task_id, reason) # external dependency; cell PM unblocks
|
|
unclaim(task_id) # release a claimed task back to the queue
|
|
resume(task_id) # recover a paused task after compact/restart
|
|
i_am_idle() # no work in your queue right now
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There is no separate claim / start / pause verb — `i_will_work_on` composes claim + set-plan + start atomically, and `i_am_done` composes verify + submit-qa. Branches are auto-created on `i_will_work_on`; do not checkout by hand.
|
|
|
|
## QA flow
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
give_me_work() # returns an awaiting_qa task
|
|
claim_review(task_id) # claim for review (auto-checks-out dev branch)
|
|
pass_review(task_id, notes) # awaiting_qa -> awaiting_documentation
|
|
fail_review(task_id, findings=[{file?, line?, severity, criterion?, expected, actual, fix?, evidence?}])
|
|
# awaiting_qa -> needs_revision (dev gets it back);
|
|
# the deprecated issues=[str] shim still works this release
|
|
unclaim(task_id) / resume(task_id) / i_am_idle()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`notes` (on pass_review) and each `findings` entry (on fail_review) must be substantive — the enforcement layer rejects empty or near-empty content. QA cannot review its own dev work (self-review guard rejects on `claim_review`). Every `fail_review` finding is persisted to the append-only revision-findings ledger and rendered into `qa_notes`; a soft nudge fires above 5 findings, a hard reject above 10. On a round ≥2 review, `claim_review` also returns `prior_findings` (the full ledger) so you check what was filed before. See `docs/rag/architecture/review-findings.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Documenter flow
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
give_me_work() # returns an awaiting_documentation task
|
|
claim_doc_task(task_id) # claim the doc phase
|
|
commit(message, files) # commit the doc files you write
|
|
i_documented(task_id, notes, files)
|
|
# awaiting_documentation -> awaiting_pm_review
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Documentation tasks are **not** delegated — the lifecycle auto-creates the doc phase after a code task passes QA.
|
|
|
|
## Cell PM flow
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
triage() # list actionable tasks in your cell
|
|
i_will_plan(task_id, plan, approach)
|
|
# claim + plan + start a parent task
|
|
delegate(parent_task_id, title, description, assigned_to, team, task_type,
|
|
nature, estimated_complexity, acceptance_criteria,
|
|
covers_parent_criteria=[...])
|
|
# create a subtask; covers_parent_criteria maps
|
|
# it to the parent ACs it is responsible for
|
|
reassign(task_id, assigned_to) # move a subtask to a different agent
|
|
unblock(task_id, reason) # blocked -> in_progress (PM only); reason is
|
|
# recorded as your journal:decision (no separate
|
|
# note needed)
|
|
submit_up(task_id, notes, resolved_findings=None)
|
|
# open cell->root PR; -> awaiting_pr_review
|
|
# (the cell PR reviewer gates it; after pr_pass
|
|
# the same Cell PM completes + merges); a re-submit
|
|
# after pr_fail must resolve every open finding first
|
|
complete(task_id, notes) # awaiting_pm_review -> completed (merges leaf PR)
|
|
request_changes(task_id, findings=[...])
|
|
# reject a subtask's merge review -> needs_revision,
|
|
# routed to whoever owns the revision; structured
|
|
# findings persist to the ledger + render into pm_notes
|
|
escalate_up(task_id, reason) # escalate to your escalation target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After `i_will_plan` and each `delegate`, the envelope includes a coverage view of the parent — `parent_ac_coverage` (per-criterion `id` / `text` / `claimed` / `verified`) and `unclaimed_parent_acs` (criteria no subtask covers yet). A parent cannot idle with unclaimed criteria, nor `complete` / `submit_up` / `escalate_to_ceo` until every criterion traces to a child that passed QA. These gates stay inert until you start declaring `covers_parent_criteria`. See `docs/rag/workflows/task-planning.md`.
|
|
|
|
**Delegation rules** (enforced): `main_pm -> cell_pm`; `cell_pm -> its team's devs`. Cell PMs receive planning-typed parent tasks; devs get code/research (UX devs also design). Always create subtasks via `delegate` with `parent_task_id` set — there is no standalone task-create verb for agents.
|
|
|
|
## Main PM flow
|
|
|
|
The Main PM shares most Cell PM verbs (`i_will_plan`, `delegate`, `complete`, `request_changes`, `unblock`, `triage`, `escalate_up`), **adds** the verbs below, and — unlike a Cell PM — has **no** `submit_up` or `reassign`. Its bubble-up verb is `submit_root` (the root analogue of the Cell PM's `submit_up`):
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
triage_all() # list actionable tasks across all teams
|
|
submit_root(task_id, notes, resolved_findings=None)
|
|
# open root->master PR; -> awaiting_pr_review
|
|
# (the main PR reviewer gates it; after pr_pass,
|
|
# complete escalates to the CEO); a re-submit
|
|
# after pr_fail must resolve every open finding first
|
|
escalate_to_ceo(task_id, reason)
|
|
# awaiting_pm_review -> awaiting_ceo_approval
|
|
give_me_work() # Main PM may also pull work directly
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a code root the Main PM **must** `submit_root` first — that opens the root→master PR and enters the in-path gate (`awaiting_pr_review`); only after the main reviewer `pr_pass`es it does `complete` escalate to the CEO. A branchless coordination root (product fan-out, no repo) skips the gate and is completed/escalated directly. The Main PM never merges to `master` — `complete` escalates and only the CEO merges the root→master PR.
|
|
|
|
## Board flow (Product Owner / Head of Marketing)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
triage() # list actionable tasks in scope
|
|
escalate_to_ceo(task_id, reason)
|
|
i_am_idle()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Board **cannot** claim, create, complete, or cancel tasks. Strategic decisions are escalated to the CEO.
|
|
|
|
The Product Owner additionally has `propose_roadmap(cycle_goal, items)` — a **content tool** on `roboco-do`, not a flow verb, so it doesn't appear above. It authors the weekly board-roadmap-engine exploration cycle (a themed goal + 3-7 item drafts); the CEO approves or rejects each item individually into BACKLOG. See `docs/rag/roles/product-owner.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Auditor flow
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
triage() # read-only list of actionable tasks
|
|
i_am_idle()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Auditor is a silent observer: read-only `triage`, no `dm`/`notify`, no claim/complete/cancel.
|
|
|
|
## PR Reviewer flow
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
give_me_work() # returns an inbound-PR review task
|
|
claim_pr_review(task_id) # claim it (planless, branchless — read-only)
|
|
post_pr_review(task_id, ...) # posts one change-request on the PR; task -> completed
|
|
unclaim(task_id) # release a claimed inbound or gate review back to the pool
|
|
i_am_idle()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The PR Reviewer reviews inbound external/fork (and, behind a flag, internal) PRs the org did not open. It is read-only: no `commit`/`open_pr`/`merge`, no `dm` — the change-request is posted server-side on the PR itself, and the CEO decides Supersede/Dismiss from the PR Review Queue.
|
|
|
|
The same role also runs the **in-path PR-review gate** on the org's own assembled delivery PRs — the merge-level review before the PM merges:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
claim_gate_review(task_id) # claim an awaiting_pr_review task; returns the assembled
|
|
# diff + (on round >=2) prior_findings, the full ledger
|
|
pr_pass(task_id, notes) # assembled PR is correct -> awaiting_pm_review (the PM merges)
|
|
pr_fail(task_id, findings=[...])
|
|
# send it back -> needs_revision, like a QA fail;
|
|
# the deprecated issues=[str] shim still works this release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both verdicts are also posted on the assembled PR itself as a GitHub review (server-side, bot account) so the decision is visible on the PR the PM merges: `pr_pass` → APPROVE, `pr_fail` → REQUEST_CHANGES — except the root→master PR, which only ever gets a plain COMMENT (only the CEO acts on `master`).
|
|
|
|
A cell reviewer (be/fe/ux-pr-reviewer) reviews its cell's assembled cell→root PR; `pr-reviewer-1` reviews the root→master PR for the cross-cell integration seam, before the CEO sees it.
|
|
|
|
## Cancel
|
|
|
|
Cancelling a task (any non-terminal status -> `cancelled`) is restricted to **PM roles and the CEO** — except `awaiting_ceo_approval -> cancelled`, which is **CEO-only** (a PM cancelling a task already in the CEO's queue would bypass the human approval gate). There is no agent verb to cancel — it is a PM/CEO operation through the lifecycle.
|
|
|
|
## Progress
|
|
|
|
Record progress against your plan with the `progress` content tool (on `roboco-do`), not a task verb:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
progress(task_id, message="API skeleton landed", plan_step="2")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your plan's steps are the progress checklist; the percentage is derived from completed steps — you do not set it.
|
|
|
|
## Sandbox DB/Redis/Mongo (Developer + QA)
|
|
|
|
`request_sandbox(services=None)` — a **content tool** on `roboco-do`, not a flow verb — provisions a throwaway sandbox Postgres/Redis/Mongo on demand, for a project that opted in (`projects.sandbox_services`). Only `developer` and `qa` carry it. Omit `services` for the project's whole opted-in set; requesting one outside it is rejected naming the allowed set. Creds come back in the envelope's `evidence`, one entry per service, including ready-to-`export` `ROBOCO_TEST_*` values for gate tooling. Calling it again is a cheap no-op (same creds). See `docs/rag/architecture/sandbox-db.md`.
