TASK-005: Phase 5 - Management

Status

• State: completed
• Priority: P0
• Cell: board

Dates

• Created: 2025-12-09
• Completed: 2025-12-09

Overview

Implement Phase 5 of the RoboCo system per HOMELAB_TEAM_V0.md blueprint (Section 13.7):

• Build Task API for task CRUD and status management
• Create Kanban service with role-specific board views
• Implement metrics collection and reporting
• Build Auditor dashboard API
• Build CEO overview API

Acceptance Criteria

• Task API with full CRUD operations
• Task service with status transitions and lifecycle management
• Kanban service with board views for each role
• Dev Kanban: Backlog → Assigned → In Progress → QA Review → Documenting → Done
• QA Kanban: Awaiting Review → In Review → Passed → Failed
• Documenter Kanban: Awaiting Handoff → Gathering → Writing → Published
• PM Kanban: Incoming → Triaged → Assigned → In Progress → Blocked → Done
• Main PM Kanban: Cross-cell view with Backend/Frontend/UX columns
• Board Kanban: Ideas → Roadmap → In Development → Released
• Metrics collection (velocity, blockers, completion rate)
• Auditor dashboard API (live feeds, flagged items, metrics, reports)
• CEO overview API (health status, key metrics, auditor alerts, roadmap progress)

Next Steps (Phase 6: Polish)

Per HOMELAB_TEAM_V0.md section 13.8:

• Performance optimization
• Comprehensive documentation
• Test coverage
• Error handling improvements
• Logging and observability

Quick Context Restore

Phase 5 management complete. Task API provides full CRUD with lifecycle transitions. Kanban service generates role-specific boards with swimlane support. Metrics service tracks velocity, blockers, and agent performance. Auditor dashboard provides live feeds, flags, and reporting. CEO overview aggregates health status, metrics, and roadmap progress. Ready for Phase 6 polish.
