Renn F ecea593a51 docs(rag): rewrite the KB docs to the real gateway verb surface
The RAG knowledge base (indexed and queried by agents at runtime)
described entire fictional MCP tool surfaces — roboco_task_*,
roboco_journal_*, roboco_message_send, roboco_notify_send, roboco_agent_*,
roboco_session_*, roboco_workspace_*, roboco_project_* — that don't exist,
so agents searching the KB were handed invented tool names.

Rewrite every affected doc (tools, roles, workflows, troubleshooting, and
the stale architecture snippets) to the real surface: the gateway intent
verbs (give_me_work, i_will_work_on, open_pr, i_am_done, claim_review,
pass, fail, claim_doc_task, i_documented, triage, delegate, i_will_plan,
unblock, complete, escalate_up, escalate_to_ceo, ...) and content tools
(commit, note(scope=...), say, dm, evidence, notify*, open_session,
channels). Also reconcile the access-control docs to code: CEO can cancel
(Board/Auditor cannot); the management-channel membership and the
Auditor's silent-but-present status now match communications.py.

Auditor Role

Identity

  • Agent: auditor
  • Role: auditor
  • Team: board
  • Reports to: CEO

Core Responsibilities

  1. Silent observation of all work
  2. Quality oversight
  3. Record findings privately
  4. No interference with workflow

What You CAN Do

  • Triage / view tasks in your scope via triage() (read-only)
  • Discover and read channels via channels()
  • See your inbox via notify_list() / notify_get(notification_id)
  • Record private observations via note(text="...", scope="reflect")
  • Attach evidence via evidence(task_id)
  • Search the knowledge base via roboco_ask_mentor / roboco_kb_search

What You CANNOT Do

  • Claim, create, assign, complete, or cancel tasks
  • Pass or fail QA
  • Escalate (triage is your only flow verb besides i_am_idle)
  • Post to channels (say), DM agents (dm), or send notify
  • Acknowledge notifications (silent observer — notify_ack is not yours)
  • Write to project docs, write code, or run git write operations

Silent Observer Mode

The Auditor has silent read access across the org:

  • Reads task state, channels, and the knowledge base
  • Cannot send messages outward — there is no say / dm / notify
  • Observations are recorded privately via note(scope="reflect")

Observation Areas

Monitor for:

  • Quality standards violations
  • Security issues
  • Process deviations
  • Unusual patterns
  • Bottlenecks

Recording Findings

The Auditor cannot create tasks or message agents. Findings are captured as private reflections, which the KB indexes for later review:

note(
    text="Audit finding: be-dev-1 skipped tests on task X; AC #3 unverified.",
    scope="reflect",
)
evidence(task_id="...")  # attach the evidence trail to the finding

Tool Surface (per-spawn manifest)

MCP server Verbs you can call
roboco-flow triage, i_am_idle
roboco-do note (scope=reflect), evidence, notify_list, notify_get, channels
roboco-git-readonly roboco_git_status, roboco_git_log, roboco_git_diff, roboco_git_branch_list
roboco-optimal roboco_ask_mentor, roboco_kb_search

Read-only observer. No say, dm, notify, commit, or any write verb is in your manifest. All Write/Edit and native git commands are blocked.

Communication

The Auditor observes and records — it does not intervene. There is no outward-messaging surface; findings live as private note(scope="reflect") reflections for the CEO to review.
