[EPIC] CLI Status + BD Diagnostics


Implemented stable bd diagnostics in status --json with focused and full-gate verification evidence recorded.

TASK CONTEXT\n- Parent/Epic: beadboard-ass\n- Goal: Implement and validate stable bd diagnostics in beadboard status JSON.\n\nTASK CONTRACT\n- Success Criteria:\n  - status --json exposes bd availability/path/project fields\n  - status remains side-effect free\n  - regression test coverage included in package test script\n- Scope:\n  - install/beadboard.mjs status path\n  - tests/scripts/beadboard-launcher-runtime.test.ts and related routing tests\n- Out of Scope:\n  - new command suite beyond status contract\n\nVERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS\n- node --import tsx --test tests/scripts/beadboard-launcher-runtime.test.ts\n- npm run typecheck\n- npm run lint\n- npm run test

Verification evidence: status JSON now includes bd diagnostics (available/path/project).

Ratified from user correction: project scope is user-controlled in BeadBoard UI; agents operate within assigned repo context only.

Scope: Agent execution workflows in non-BeadBoard repos where BeadBoard is used as orchestration control plane.\nOut of Scope: User-driven UI project switching behavior implementation details.\nRule: Agents must not select or mutate project scope; they operate within the current repository context they are assigned. Project scope selection is exclusively a user action in the BeadBoard UI.\nRationale: Prevents scope drift and accidental cross-project coordination errors; keeps orchestration authority with the user.\nFailure Mode: If agents attempt to change scope, updates may appear in the wrong project context, breaking visibility and trust.

Scope: DAG view for an epic must include nested descendant tasks and optionally render hierarchy links.\nOut of Scope: non-graph surfaces and non-epic filtering logic.\nSuccess Criteria: Nested subtasks under an epic are present in DAG data; hierarchy links can be toggled on/off in UI; tests updated with evidence.

[EPIC] Show Subtasks in DAG


All fixes implemented and tested. 14/14 tests passing. Conversation panel now opens on icon click, closes on second click, prioritizes task over epic, and back button navigates correctly.

## What was done

### Problem
Clicking the MessageSquare conversation icon on DAG nodes (WorkflowGraph / Dependencies tab) was not opening the ThreadDrawer in the right panel. The icon had been added but the panel never changed content.

### Root cause analysis
1. **Priority inversion in ContextualRightPanel**: The panel checked `epicId` BEFORE `taskId`. When the user had filtered the graph by an epic (setting `epicId` in URL), clicking the conversation icon would set `taskId` but `epicId` remained set — so SwarmCommandFeed rendered instead of ThreadDrawer.
2. **epicId not cleared on epic selection**: `setEpicId` did not clear `task` from the URL, so old taskId persisted across epic selections.
3. **Stale onSelect in flowModel**: WorkflowGraph's `flowModel` useMemo did not include `onSelect` in its dependency array, risking stale conversation callbacks.

### Fixes applied

**src/components/activity/contextual-right-panel.tsx**
- Reordered branches: `if (taskId)` now comes before `if (epicId)`
- Task conversation always takes priority over epic feed when a task is explicitly selected

**src/hooks/use-url-state.ts**
- `setEpicId` now clears `task` param: `updateUrl({ epic: id, task: null })`
- Clicking an epic in the left panel resets active task conversation, so SwarmCommandFeed correctly shows

**src/components/shared/workflow-graph.tsx**
- Added `onSelect` to `flowModel` useMemo dependency array
- Prevents stale conversation callbacks from being captured in node data

**src/components/shared/unified-shell.tsx**
- `handleGraphSelect` now toggles: clicking the same node a second time calls `setTaskId(null)`, closing the right panel
- Also bumped dep array to include `taskId`

### Earlier session changes (same epic, context compacted)
- Added MessageSquare icon to GraphNodeCard with proper prop-threading (no useUrlState inside ReactFlow nodes)
- WorkflowGraph threads `onConversationOpen` and `selectedTaskId` into node data
- Fixed ContextualRightPanel `onClose` no-ops → wired to `setTaskId(null)` / `setSwarmId(null)`
- UnifiedShell right panel is always visible (removed `panel === 'open'` gate)
- SmartDag task grid changed to horizontal scroll with fixed-width cards
- hideClosed defaults to true in SmartDag
- Added Suspense boundary in page.tsx for useSearchParams
- 14 static analysis tests in tests/components/graph/graph-node-conversation.test.tsx

### Tests
- 14/14 tests passing in tests/components/graph/graph-node-conversation.test.tsx
- All tests cover: icon presence, no useUrlState in node, prop-threading, stopPropagation, selectedTaskId highlight, onConversationOpen wiring, taskId priority over epicId, back button wired, right panel always visible, Suspense boundary

Graph nodes show Assign button for open/blocked tasks. Dropdown shows archetypes. Selecting archetype calls /api/swarm/prep. Shows assigned archetype badge after success. Can change/remove assignment.

Completed. Added Assign button to GraphNodeCard with Radix dropdown-menu, proper dark theme CSS, agent: label prefix, and change/remove assignment support. All 6 TDD tests pass. All verification gates pass.

## Completed Implementation

### Files Changed
- **src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx**: Added Assign button with Radix dropdown-menu, kept original dark theme CSS
- **src/app/api/swarm/prep/route.ts**: Added DELETE handler for remove assignment

### Key Features
- Assign button shows for open/blocked/ready tasks (not closed)
- Dropdown shows all archetypes with color indicators
- Shows current assigned archetype with Change option
- Remove assignment option in dropdown
- Uses correct `agent:` label prefix
- Auto-refreshes via SSE after assignment

### Tests Written (TDD)
All 6 tests pass:
1. GraphNodeCard checks for assignable status
2. GraphNodeCard excludes closed tasks
3. GraphNodeCard parses agent: label
4. GraphNodeCard imports Radix dropdown-menu
5. GraphNodeCard receives archetypes
6. GraphNodeCard supports assignment action

### Verification Gates
- npm run typecheck: ✓ PASS
- npm run lint: ✓ PASS (0 errors, 21 warnings - pre-existing)
- npm run test: ✓ PASS (all tests)

When a comment is added via 'bd comments add' (or the ThreadDrawer POST), the JSONL file is mutated but the Chokidar watcher does not broadcast an SSE event. Users have to manually refresh to see new comments. The watcher snapshot diff likely only diffs top-level issue fields (status, title, etc.) and does not detect the comments array changing. Fix should: (1) detect comment-count changes in the snapshot diff, (2) emit an SSE activity/change event so subscribed clients re-fetch and display the new comment without a full page refresh.

SSE watcher misses comment additions — no live refresh on bd comment add


File created: src/hooks/use-graph-analysis.ts; Hook exports GraphAnalysis interface with: graphModel, signalById, cycleNodeIdSet, actionableNodeIds, blockerTooltipMap, blockerAnalysis, chainNodeIds; Hook takes (issues, projectRoot, selectedId) parameters; npm run typecheck passes

## TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-ck0
- Title: Create useGraphAnalysis hook
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-uui (Unify Graph + Swarm into Single Enhanced Graph View)
- Dependencies (must be done first): None

## GOAL
Extract duplicated graph computation logic from workflow-graph.tsx (lines 73-135) and dependency-graph-page.tsx (lines 327-433) into a reusable hook. This consolidates the graph analysis logic that is currently duplicated across two files.

## SUCCESS CRITERIA
- File created: src/hooks/use-graph-analysis.ts (~100 lines)
- Hook exports GraphAnalysis interface with: graphModel, signalById, cycleNodeIdSet, actionableNodeIds, blockerTooltipMap, blockerAnalysis, chainNodeIds
- Hook takes (issues: BeadIssue[], projectRoot: string, selectedId: string | null | undefined) parameters
- Uses existing buildGraphModel from ../../lib/graph
- Uses analyzeBlockedChain, detectDependencyCycles from ../../lib/graph-view
- npm run typecheck passes

## SCOPE
- Create new hook file at src/hooks/use-graph-analysis.ts
- Export GraphAnalysis interface
- Use useMemo for all computed values
- Document each computed field with JSDoc comments

## OUT OF SCOPE
- Modifying existing components (that happens in beadboard-5sr)
- Adding new graph analysis features
- Changes to buildGraphModel or graph-view functions

## IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The hook should compute:
1. graphModel: Result of buildGraphModel(issues, { projectKey: projectRoot })
2. signalById: Map of issue.id -> { blockedBy: number, blocks: number }
3. cycleNodeIdSet: Set of node IDs that are part of dependency cycles
4. actionableNodeIds: Set of node IDs that have no open blockers (ready to work)
5. blockerTooltipMap: Map of issue.id -> string[] of blocker descriptions
6. blockerAnalysis: Result of analyzeBlockedChain for selectedId (null if no selection)
7. chainNodeIds: Set of selectedId + all blocker node IDs

## VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Required commands:
  - npm run typecheck
- Required artifacts:
  - Screenshot of new hook file structure

Empty labels array now treated as 'clear all labels' — validator and arg builder both fixed. Regression tests added.

handleRemoveTemplateFromEpic in assignment-panel.tsx sends labels:[] when stripping the only template: label. asOptionalLabels([]) returns undefined, which trips the update validator: 'At least one update field is required.' Fix: asOptionalLabels should return [] (not undefined) for an explicit empty array, and the validator should accept [] as a valid labels value (meaning clear all labels).

Fixed in mutations.ts: asOptionalLabels([]) now returns [] instead of undefined; validator uses === undefined instead of \!; pushOptionalLabels passes --set-labels '' to clear all labels. 2 new regression tests added. Typecheck clean, lint clean, 30/32 tests pass (2 pre-existing).

Fix: removing last template label fails with empty labels array


/graph page either redirects to /?view=graph OR renders SmartDag in standalone layout; No DependencyGraphPage duplication; npm run typecheck, lint, test all pass

Ratified canonical UI memory for HideClosed invariants across source lists and selected-state invalidation.

Scope: Any Hide Closed / visibility filtering behavior for epics or tasks across left panel, graph chip bars, and selected state holders.\nOut of Scope: Independent status badges that do not affect visibility.\nRule: A visibility filter is not complete unless it is applied to (1) source lists for every surface, and (2) current selection state invalidation paths.\nRationale: Partial filter application causes closed entities to persist in one panel while hidden in another.\nFailure Mode: User sees closed items despite Hide Closed enabled, losing trust in state consistency.

Canonicalized after hideClosed regression investigation. Provenance: beadboard-x1y, beadboard-4k8, beadboard-xz5. Linked to UI anchor beadboard-fld and reliability chain beadboard-om4.

[MEMORY][UI][HARD] HideClosed invariants must include selected-state and all epic surfaces


TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: (auto)
- Title: Phase 5: Blocked Triage Modal
- Parent/Epic: none (phase epic)
- Dependencies (must be done first): beadboard-8ij (Phase 3 — useArchetypePicker hook), beadboard-x3l (Phase 4 — livenessMap in shell)

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: Replace the TopBar blocked-items panel toggle with a purpose-built BlockedTriageModal that shows all blocked tasks with their blocker chain context and an inline archetype picker for immediate assignment without leaving the modal.
- Success Criteria:
  - TopBar blocked button opens BlockedTriageModal (not a panel toggle)
  - Modal lists all blocked tasks with blocker chain context (buildBlockedByTree already exists)
  - Each blocked task has an inline ArchetypePicker to assign an agent immediately
  - Assigning an agent dismisses the picker for that task but keeps the modal open
  - npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm run test all pass
- Scope:
  - New BlockedTriageModal component
  - TopBar blocked button rerouted to open modal
  - useArchetypePicker hook reused from beadboard-8ij.1
- Out of Scope:
  - Redesigning blockedOnly URL filter (already works from Phase 0)
  - Changing how blockers are computed

IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
- Preserve existing backend/API contracts unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Reuse shared components and logic; avoid one-off forks.
- Keep changes targeted and minimal for this bead.

VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Required commands:
  - npm run typecheck
  - npm run lint
  - npm run test
- Report any remaining risks and follow-up beads explicitly.

Phase 5: Blocked Triage Modal


BlockedTriageModal created with inline archetype picker, blocker chain display, uses deriveBlockedIds for accurate blocked computation

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-d2x.1
- Title: Build BlockedTriageModal with inline ArchetypePicker
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-d2x
- Dependencies (must be done first): beadboard-8ij.1 (useArchetypePicker hook)

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: Build a modal component that lists all blocked tasks with their full blocker chain context and allows the operator to assign an archetype agent to each blocked task inline without dismissing the modal.
- Success Criteria:
  - BlockedTriageModal renders a list of all issues where status === 'blocked'
  - Each row shows: task title, task ID, blocker chain (use buildBlockedByTree from src/lib if it exists, or derive from issue.dependencies)
  - Each row has an inline ArchetypePicker (useArchetypePicker hook from beadboard-8ij.1) that assigns and then collapses without closing the modal
  - Modal is scrollable if blocked list is long
  - Modal closes via Escape key or close button
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/shared/blocked-triage-modal.tsx (new file)
  - Use shadcn Dialog primitive (already in components/ui/) for the modal shell
  - Use useArchetypePicker hook for each row's assignment action
  - Search src/lib/ for buildBlockedByTree or equivalent before writing blocker-chain logic from scratch
- Out of Scope:
  - Wiring modal open/close to TopBar (beadboard-d2x.2)
  - Changing how issues are marked blocked

IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
- Preserve existing backend/API contracts unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Reuse shared components and logic; avoid one-off forks.
- Keep changes targeted and minimal for this bead.

VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Required commands:
  - npm run typecheck
  - npm run lint
  - npm run test
- Report any remaining risks and follow-up beads explicitly.

BlockedTriageModal created at src/components/shared/blocked-triage-modal.tsx. Uses deriveBlockedIds (exported in Task 1) and buildBlockedByTree for blocker chain. Inline archetype picker per row. 12 tests pass. Typecheck passes (pre-existing error in unrelated file). Lint passes.


TopBar blocked button now opens BlockedTriageModal instead of toggling URL

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-d2x.2
- Title: Reroute TopBar blocked button to open BlockedTriageModal
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-d2x
- Dependencies (must be done first): beadboard-d2x.1

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: The TopBar 'Blocked Items' button currently toggles a URL param (blockedOnly). Replace this with a modal open trigger that opens BlockedTriageModal, keeping the blockedOnly filter wired from Phase 0 for the social feed but making the primary triage action the modal.
- Success Criteria:
  - Clicking 'Blocked Items' in TopBar opens BlockedTriageModal
  - BlockedTriageModal receives issues and projectRoot from UnifiedShell
  - Existing blockedOnly URL toggle in TopBar is either removed or made secondary (decide when reading the component — do not break Phase 0 work)
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/shared/top-bar.tsx — change blocked button handler
  - src/components/shared/unified-shell.tsx — add modal open state, pass to TopBar and BlockedTriageModal
- Out of Scope:
  - Changing BlockedTriageModal internals (beadboard-d2x.1)
  - Phase 0 blockedOnly social feed filter

IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
- Preserve existing backend/API contracts unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Reuse shared components and logic; avoid one-off forks.
- Keep changes targeted and minimal for this bead.

VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Required commands:
  - npm run typecheck
  - npm run lint

Completed: Unified-shell wired as central panel state coordinator. Commit c246cea.

Wired unified-shell.tsx as the central coordinator for all panel state: assignMode, taskId, lastTaskId, lastAssignMode, isNonTelemetry detection. All panel-switching flows (rocket, conversation, telemetry, minimize, social-view rocket) route through unified-shell handlers. handleSocialRocket, handleMinimize, handleNodeTelemetry etc. Scope: unified-shell.tsx. Success Criteria: Single source of truth for right panel state, no state desync across views.

Given newly introduced UI copy, when reviewed, then wording is concise and unambiguous for first-time users.
Verification command(s): npm run lint; targeted UI review in changed components

Scope: UI copy in labels, controls, and status messaging.

Given a new panel-switching trigger from any view, when implementation is reviewed, then the trigger routes through unified-shell handler props, not local component state.

Scope: Right panel mode switching (conversation, assign, telemetry, minimize/restore). Out of Scope: Left panel and top bar state. Rule: unified-shell.tsx is the single source of truth for right panel state (assignMode, taskId, lastTaskId, lastAssignMode). All panel-switching flows from any view (DAG nodes, social cards, top bar) must route through unified-shell handlers, not manage panel state locally. Rationale: LaunchSwarmDialog failed because it was a parallel panel system. Centralizing in unified-shell prevents state desync across views. Failure Mode: Local panel state in child components causes inconsistent behavior depending on which view the user entered from.

## TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-gb0
- Title: Unify Graph + Swarm into Single Enhanced Graph View
- Parent/Epic: None (this is the epic)
- Dependencies: None

## GOAL
Merge the duplicate graph implementations (`?view=graph`, `?view=swarm`, and `/graph` page) into one enhanced graph view with two modes:
- **Analysis mode** (default): Full dependency DAG with progressive disclosure (filters toolbar, tabs)
- **Assign mode** (toggled): DAG highlights ready nodes, right panel transforms into assignment controls

## PROBLEM STATEMENT
BeadBoard has two views that both render the same `WorkflowGraph` DAG component, creating duplication:
- `?view=graph` is a bare 49-line wrapper (`SmartDag`) with no rich features
- `?view=swarm` duplicates the DAG with swarm-specific UI
- Standalone `/graph` page (`DependencyGraphPage`) has rich features stranded from the shell view

## SUCCESS CRITERIA
- `?view=graph` shows enhanced DAG with all dependency analysis features
- 'Assign' toggle enables task assignment workflow
- `?view=swarm` deprecated (falls back to default view)

WorkflowGraphProps includes assignMode?: boolean; GraphNodeData includes isAssignMode?: boolean; When isAssignMode=true and !isActionable: node has opacity-20; When isAssignMode=true and isActionable: node has ring-2 ring-emerald-400/50 shadow-[0_0_24px_rgba(16,185,129,0.2)]; npm run typecheck passes

## TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-j3u
- Title: Add assign mode data flow to WorkflowGraph + GraphNodeCard
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-uui (Unify Graph + Swarm into Single Enhanced Graph View)
- Dependencies (must be done first): None

## GOAL
Enable visual differentiation of actionable vs non-actionable nodes when assign mode is active. This provides the visual foundation for the 'Assign' toggle functionality.

## SUCCESS CRITERIA
- WorkflowGraphProps interface includes assignMode?: boolean
- GraphNodeData interface includes isAssignMode?: boolean
- In WorkflowGraphInner, pass isAssignMode: assignMode to each node's data
- In GraphNodeCard, when data.isAssignMode is true:
  - If !data.isActionable: add opacity-20 class (extra dimming)
  - If data.isActionable: add ring-2 ring-emerald-400/50 shadow-[0_0_24px_rgba(16,185,129,0.2)] (highlight ring)
- npm run typecheck passes

## SCOPE
- Modify src/components/shared/workflow-graph.tsx:
  - Add assignMode?: boolean to WorkflowGraphProps (line 24-31)
  - Pass assignMode to WorkflowGraphInner
  - In flowModel useMemo, add isAssignMode: assignMode to each node's data (line 154-175)
- Modify src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx:
  - Add isAssignMode?: boolean to GraphNodeData interface
  - Add conditional styling based on isAssignMode && isActionable

## OUT OF SCOPE
- SmartDag changes (beadboard-5sr)
- AssignmentPanel component (beadboard-d4n)
- UnifiedShell wiring (beadboard-cm8)

## IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The visual treatment should:
1. Non-actionable nodes in assign mode: fade them out so user focuses on ready nodes
2. Actionable nodes in assign mode: glowing emerald ring to draw attention
3. Preserve existing styling for non-assign mode

## VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Required commands:
  - npm run typecheck
- Manual verification:
  - When assignMode=true, actionable nodes have green ring
  - When assignMode=true, non-actionable nodes are dimmed
  - When assignMode=false, existing styling preserved

[BRAINSTORM] Project Scope System - UI and Backend


Added ProjectScopeControls to UnifiedShell - now visible in all views

## Context
ProjectScopeControls exists in project-scope-controls.tsx but is only rendered in Kanban/Graph/Sessions views. Not in default Social view.

## Root Cause
UnifiedShell receives projectScopeKey, projectScopeOptions, projectScopeMode props but doesn't render ProjectScopeControls.

## Implementation
1. Import ProjectScopeControls in unified-shell.tsx
2. Add ProjectScopeControls component after TopBar, before main content area
3. Pass required props: projectScopeKey, projectScopeOptions, projectScopeMode

## Files
- src/components/shared/unified-shell.tsx (modify)

## Success Criteria
- ProjectScopeControls visible in all views (Social, Graph, Activity)
- Users can switch projects from UI
- Users can add/remove/scan projects

## Verification
npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm run test

Added ProjectScopeControls to UnifiedShell after TopBar.
- Imported ProjectScopeMode and ProjectScopeControls
- Added component between TopBar and main content area
- Now visible in all views (Social, Graph, Activity)

Verification: npm run typecheck PASS, npm run lint PASS (warnings only), npm run test PASS (2 pre-existing failures)

User can assign archetypes to tasks via graph nodes and sidebar. Shows assigned archetype badges on nodes. Shows Needs Agent / Pre-assigned / Active Workers sections in sidebar.

Epic complete. Users can now assign archetypes to tasks via graph nodes (dropdown with archetype selection) and sidebar (Needs Agent section with quick assign). Shows archetype badges on nodes. AssignmentPanel shows three sections: Needs Agent, Pre-assigned, and Squad Roster (active workers scoped to epic).

## Final Fix: Single Archetype Per Task

### Design Decision
After discussion, we determined that bd (bead) is designed for ONE agent
archetype per task - clear ownership model.

### Implementation
- handleAssignAgent now removes existing agent: labels before adding new one
- Calls DELETE first, then POST
- Optimistic UI reflects single archetype constraint
- Reassigning still works (click different archetype to replace)

### Test Coverage
- 5 new tests in graph-node-single-archetype.test.tsx

### Commit
211e503 - feat(graph): enforce single archetype per task

SSE refresh test complete - bead should appear and disappear without page reload

Testing that SSE events trigger UI refresh without manual page reload. This bead will be closed immediately after creation.

Test Bead - SSE Refresh Verification


Given a multi-param URL update, when the code is reviewed, then it must use a single buildUrlParams then router.push call, not sequential setX() calls.

Scope: Any code that updates multiple URL search params (view, taskId, assignMode, graphTab, etc.) in sequence. Out of Scope: Single-param updates. Rule: Never call multiple sequential setX() functions that each rebuild the URL from the same stale searchParams snapshot. Instead, use a single buildUrlParams() call to construct all params atomically, then one router.push(). Rationale: Each setX() reads the current searchParams at call time; if two run in the same tick, the second overwrites the first changes. Failure Mode: Params silently dropped, e.g. view changes but taskId reverts to previous value.

Session orchestrator agent handling greeting triage and session handoff updates

Agent: codex-orchestrator


Ratified canonical reliability memory for stale-state parity triage order.

Scope: Realtime/stale-state incidents where UI contradicts expected issue state.\nOut of Scope: Pure styling bugs with no state mismatch.\nRule: Triage must confirm parity in this order: bd record, SQL row, API payload, UI render state, then SSE health.\nRationale: Fixes made before parity checks target symptoms and miss the true mismatch layer.\nFailure Mode: Repeated 'fixed but still visible' loops with no durable resolution.

Canonicalized for stale-state triage discipline using parity sequence (bd->SQL->API->UI->SSE). Provenance: beadboard-x1y, beadboard-4k8, beadboard-cc8. Linked to reliability anchor beadboard-8st and workflow chain beadboard-x6f.

# Dolt Database Organization & PATH Troubleshooting

Organized scattered CLI `.txt` help texts into `beadboard/help/cli/` and added explicit workflow guides in `beadboard/help/workflows` for checking recently closed beads (`bd query`) and using the new `bd vc` dolt database features.

**Issues Encountered & Resolved:**
1. User accidentally ran `dolt init` in root rather than running commands in the actual DB directory (`.beads/dolt/beadboard/`). The empty root DB was pushed to DoltHub.
2. We navigated correctly to `.beads/dolt/beadboard/` and ran `dolt push -f origin main` to forcefully overwrite the empty database on DoltHub with the actual issue history.
3. The installed `bd` binary (`0.49.6`) was out of date. User ran the remote update script to `0.57.0`.
4. The updated `bd` directory (`C:\Users\Zenchant\AppData\Local\Programs\bd`) was not on the system `PATH`. We programmatically updated the `$env:Path` in the registry and the active session.
5. `bd 0.57.0` does not bundle the `dolt` binary anymore. The `bd ready` command was throwing a "Dolt server unreachable... dolt is not installed" error.
6. We resolved this by downloading the official Dolt windows release archive, extracting `dolt.exe`, and placing it alongside `bd.exe` in the `bd` data directory. The `bd ready` command now successfully auto-starts the Dolt server.

All Phase 1 children complete: ContextualRightPanel now branches on epicId, taskId, swarmId, with ActivityPanel fallback. URL context contract fully wired.

Make the right panel adapt to full URL context, not just epicId. Current ContextualRightPanel only branches on epicId — all other selections (task, agent, swarm) fall through to the global ActivityPanel feed.

Ref: docs/plans/2026-02-28-ux-redesign-synthesis-prd.md §8 Phase 1

URL context contract:
  No selection       → ActivityPanel (global feed) ✓ done in Phase 0
  ?epic=X            → SwarmCommandFeed for that epic ✓ already works
  ?task=X            → Task thread + agent assignment controls
  ?agent=X           → Agent liveness details + missions + current task
  ?swarm=X           → MissionInspector (swarm topology + agent roster)

Acceptance: Selecting a task shows task thread in right panel. Selecting a swarm shows swarm inspector. No selection shows global activity feed.

Phase 1: Contextual Right Panel


Added taskId and swarmId to ContextualRightPanelProps. UnifiedShell now passes both. TypeScript clean. Stubs ready for r1i.2 and r1i.3.

- Success Criteria:
  - ContextualRightPanelProps includes taskId?: string | null and swarmId?: string | null
  - UnifiedShell passes both params to <ContextualRightPanel>
  - TypeScript compiles clean (npm run typecheck passes)
  - Existing epicId branch and ActivityPanel fallback continue working
- Scope:
  - src/components/activity/contextual-right-panel.tsx — props interface only
  - src/components/shared/unified-shell.tsx — pass taskId, swarmId to ContextualRightPanel call (~line 162)
- Out of Scope:
  - Implementing the actual task or swarm branch content (that is r1i.2, r1i.3)
  - Adding agentId (no agent detail view planned for this phase)

IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
- Preserve existing backend/API contracts unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Reuse shared components and logic; avoid one-off forks.
- Keep changes targeted and minimal for this bead.

VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Required commands:
  - npm run typecheck
  - npm run lint
  - npm run test
- Report any remaining risks and follow-up beads explicitly.

Extend ContextualRightPanel props and thread taskId/swarmId from shell


TaskId branch added to ContextualRightPanel: ThreadDrawer in embedded mode renders task thread and issue metadata when taskId is set. No new typecheck errors.

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-r1i.2
- Title: Implement task branch in ContextualRightPanel (?task=X)
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-r1i
- Dependencies: beadboard-r1i.1 (taskId prop must exist on ContextualRightPanel)

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: When a task is selected (taskId is set), the right panel shows the task thread and issue metadata using ThreadDrawer in embedded mode.
- Success Criteria:
  - Selecting any task card opens right panel showing that task's thread (comments, events)
  - ThreadDrawer renders in embedded mode (no modal/overlay behaviour)
  - Issue title, status badge, and thread items are visible in the right panel
  - Deselecting the task (clearing taskId) returns right panel to ActivityPanel global feed
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/activity/contextual-right-panel.tsx — add taskId branch before the ActivityPanel fallback
  - ThreadDrawer already exists at src/components/shared/thread-drawer.tsx with embedded prop
  - Use ThreadDrawer with: embedded=true, isOpen=true, issue from issues array, projectRoot
- Out of Scope:
  - Agent assignment controls in the right panel (Phase 3)
  - Creating a new component — reuse ThreadDrawer embedded mode
  - Modifying ThreadDrawer itself

IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
- Preserve existing backend/API contracts unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Reuse shared components and logic; avoid one-off forks.
- Keep changes targeted and minimal for this bead.

VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Required commands:
  - npm run typecheck
  - npm run lint

SwarmId branch added via SwarmIdBranch inner component (hooks-safe): MissionInspector renders with useSwarmList for title lookup. assignedAgents wired to swarm.agents (TODO: populate from agent-registry). No new typecheck errors.

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-r1i.3
- Title: Implement swarm branch in ContextualRightPanel (?swarm=X)
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-r1i
- Dependencies: beadboard-r1i.1 (swarmId prop must exist on ContextualRightPanel)

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: When a swarm is selected (swarmId is set), the right panel shows MissionInspector with that swarm's topology, agent roster, and mission status.
- Success Criteria:
  - Navigating to ?swarm=X renders MissionInspector in the right panel
  - MissionInspector receives correct missionId, missionTitle, projectRoot, assignedAgents
  - Existing epicId and task branches are unaffected
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/activity/contextual-right-panel.tsx — add swarmId branch
  - MissionInspector at src/components/mission/mission-inspector.tsx (props: missionId, missionTitle, projectRoot, assignedAgents, onClose, onAssign)
  - Resolve assignedAgents: check useSwarmList hook or /api/agents — use whatever UnifiedShell already has available
  - onClose: clear swarmId from URL state; onAssign: call /api/mission/assign
- Out of Scope:
  - Building a new swarm inspector UI — MissionInspector already exists
  - Graph swarm overlay highlighting (Phase 3)

Main Claude Code session acting as orchestrator for Phase 4 (beadboard-x3l) and related epics. Responsible for planning, dispatching parallel agents, and integration verification.

Agent: claude-orchestrator


Recreating as proper children of Phase 0 epic with correct naming

The views array in LeftPanel and the tabs array in MobileNav both only have Social and Graph. Activity is a valid view but unreachable from navigation.

File 1: src/components/shared/left-panel.tsx
Location: views array (~line 188)
Change:
  const views: Array<{ id: ViewType; label: string }> = [
    { id: 'social', label: 'Social' },
    { id: 'graph', label: 'Graph' },
    { id: 'activity', label: 'Activity' },  // add this
  ];

File 2: src/components/shared/mobile-nav.tsx
Location: tabs array (~line 6)
Change: Add Activity tab and replace Unicode glyphs with Lucide icons:
  import { LayoutList, Share2, Activity } from 'lucide-react';
  const tabs = [
    { id: 'social', label: 'Social', icon: <LayoutList className='h-5 w-5' /> },
    { id: 'graph', label: 'Graph', icon: <Share2 className='h-5 w-5' /> },
    { id: 'activity', label: 'Activity', icon: <Activity className='h-5 w-5' /> },
  ];
Also add aria-label={tab.label} to each tab button, and update render to use {tab.icon} JSX (not string).

Check mobile-nav.tsx current icon rendering before changing - confirm the tab type and render pattern.

Acceptance: Left panel and mobile nav both show three tabs (Social, Graph, Activity). Mobile nav icons are Lucide SVGs with aria-labels.

P0.3: Add Activity tab to LeftPanel and MobileNav


Fixed: filtered memory-anchor and brainstorm epics, added hideClosed check for epic status

## Context
Epics with zero child tasks are hidden in the left panel when hideClosed=true (the default).

## Root Cause
Line 327 in left-panel.tsx:

This hides ANY epic with matchedChildren=0 when filters are active. Since hideClosed defaults to true, this hides ALL epics that have no children (which is ALL epics currently since none have parent-child deps).

## Fix
Change condition to only hide if the epic HAS children but they're all filtered out:

Fixed two issues in left-panel.tsx:
1. Line 73: Filter out memory-anchor and brainstorm epics from epic list
2. Line 327: Added check to hide closed/tombstone epics when hideClosed=true

Before: ALL epics were hidden because:
- hideClosed defaults to true
- No code checked epic status, only matchedChildren
- All 0-child epics were hidden

After:
- Memory anchors (memory-anchor label) filtered out
- Brainstorm epics (brainstorm label) filtered out
- Closed/tombstone epics hidden when hideClosed=true
- Epics with children only hidden when all children filtered

Verification: npm run typecheck PASS, npm run lint PASS (warnings only), npm run test PASS (2 pre-existing failures)

[BUG] Epics with no children hidden by hideClosed filter


Scope: Improve the Dependency Graph and Workflow Graph views to clearly indicate critical paths, differentiate between direct and indirect (transitive) blocks, and use status colors effectively. Out of scope: Other graph layouts. Success Criteria: Edges correctly reflect their dependency types visually.

Epic: Enhanced Graph Edge Visualization


Core calculation algorithm implemented successfully.

Scope: Write a robust algorithm that processes DAG nodes to identify transitive (redundant) edges across paths.\nOut of scope: UI rendering.\nSuccess Criteria: Takes nodes and edges, returns map of edges indicating if they are transitive or direct.

Transitive Reduction implemented via BFS path search. Test coverage added in graph-view.test.ts. bun run lint/typecheck/test passed cleanly.

Implement graph transitive reduction algorithm


Scope: Update ReactFlow Edge generation in workflow-graph.tsx, dependency-graph-page.tsx, and specialized-agent-dag.tsx.\nOut of scope: Algorithm calculation.\nSuccess Criteria: Critical/in-progress edges glow bright amber. Standard direct edges are blue/slate. Transitive edges are dimmed/dashed dark gray.

npm run test passed. Transitive edge styling verified.

Apply Status Colors and Transitive Context to Graph Edges


Critical chain focus highlighting successfully implemented.

Scope: When a node is clicked, highlight inbound/outbound blockers clearly, fading out the rest of the graph.\nSuccess Criteria: The critical chain of a selected task is visually obvious.

Completed critical chain highlighting using BFS on the graph edges, and tests pass cross-platform.

Implement Graph Focus (Selection) Interactivity


TASK CONTEXT\n- Parent: beadboard-c70 / beadboard-05a\n\nTASK CONTRACT\n- Goal: Add installer and launcher smoke tests for Windows/Linux/mac and wire CI matrix.\n- Success Criteria:\n  - install smoke tests per OS\n  - reinstall/idempotency + failure-mode checks\n  - CI matrix jobs for installer smoke\n- Scope: tests and workflow config\n- Out of Scope: enterprise installer signing pipeline\n\nVERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS\n- npm run typecheck\n- npm run lint\n- npm run test

## Goal
Merge the duplicate graph implementations (?view=graph, ?view=swarm, and /graph page) into one enhanced graph view with two modes:
- Analysis mode (default): Full dependency DAG with progressive disclosure
- Assign mode (toggled): DAG highlights ready nodes, right panel shows assignment controls

## Problem
BeadBoard has two views (`?view=graph` and `?view=swarm`) that both render the same `WorkflowGraph` DAG component, creating duplication. The standalone `/graph` page (`DependencyGraphPage`) has rich dependency analysis features (hop depth, focus workspace, cycle detection, flow strip) that are stranded -- the shell's `?view=graph` is a bare 49-line wrapper (`SmartDag`) with none of them.

## Success Criteria
- ?view=graph shows enhanced DAG with all dependency analysis features
- 'Assign' toggle enables task assignment workflow
- ?view=swarm deprecated (falls back to default view)
- Archetypes/Templates accessible from assign mode right panel
- All implementation steps completed
- npm run typecheck, lint, test all pass

## Scope
- SmartDag rewrite with progressive disclosure + tabs + assign mode
- AssignmentPanel component for assign mode
- useGraphAnalysis hook extraction
- Swarm view removal from navigation
- Delete deprecated swarm files

## Out of Scope
- Backend API changes (use existing /api/swarm/prep)
- New archetypes/templates features
- Mobile-specific layouts

Scope: Implement npm-global-first runtime manager with migration from repo-path shims. Out of Scope: unrelated UI/test stabilization. Success Criteria: Tasks 0-8 from docs/plans/2026-03-03-global-install-runtime-manager.md implemented with verification evidence.

Global installer runtime manager implementation


Fixed Hide Closed regression across left panel and graph epic chip surfaces; added selected-state invalidation and regression tests.

## Context
Epics with zero child tasks are hidden in the left panel when hideClosed=true (the default).

## Root Cause
Line 327 in left-panel.tsx filters out epics with no matched children, but since all epics have 0 children currently, they get hidden.

## Notes
NEEDS DISCUSSION: Before implementing, discuss with user - the fix affects epic visibility logic.

Root cause and fixes for Hide Closed epic leakage:\n\nRoot causes:\n1) Left panel logic exempted selected epics from hide checks, so a selected closed epic (bb-u6f.7) remained visible.\n2) Dependency graph epic chip strip was fed unfiltered epics in one path, so Hide Closed did not consistently apply in that surface.\n3) Runtime data freshness was vulnerable to stale session state when SSE degraded; initial refresh hardening was added.\n\nFixes shipped:\n- left-panel.tsx: Hide Closed now hides closed/tombstone epics even when selected.\n- unified-shell.tsx: when hideClosed=true, selected closed epic is auto-cleared.\n- dependency-graph-page.tsx: EpicChipStrip and selection logic now use hide-closed filtered selectableEpics.\n- page.tsx + use-beads-subscription.ts: force-dynamic + initial silent refresh to reduce stale SSR/session reads.\n\nVerification evidence:\n- node --import tsx --test tests/components/shared/left-panel-filtering.test.ts => PASS\n- node --import tsx --test tests/components/shared/unified-shell-hide-closed-contract.test.ts => PASS\n- node --import tsx --test tests/components/graph/dependency-graph-hide-closed-contract.test.ts => PASS\n- npm run typecheck => PASS\n- npm run lint => PASS (warnings only)\n- npm run test => FAIL (pre-existing unrelated graphTab expectation in tests/hooks/url-state-integration.test.ts)\n\nMemory review trigger: create canonical memories for cross-surface filter invariants and selected-state invalidation under filters.


Phase 4 Agent Presence complete. livenessMap lifted to UnifiedShell; agent avatars on SocialCard + graph nodes with liveness animation; LeftPanel footer shows live workspace stats. Typecheck clean, lint clean, 29/31 tests pass (2 pre-existing url-state failures).

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: (auto)
- Title: Phase 4: Agent Presence
- Parent/Epic: none (phase epic)
- Dependencies (must be done first): beadboard-0fi (Phase 2 — actor identity in shell)

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: Move livenessMap from the deprecated SessionsHeader up to UnifiedShell and surface live agent state on both Social cards and Graph nodes, so an operator can see which agents are active and what they are working on within 5 seconds of opening the app.
- Success Criteria:
  - useSessionFeed called in UnifiedShell, livenessMap available at shell level
  - SocialCard shows agent avatar and liveness dot for the assigned agent
  - Graph nodes show agent avatar with pulse animation for stuck agents
  - LeftPanel footer replaced with live workspace stats (N agents active, M tasks in motion)
  - npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm run test all pass
- Scope:
  - UnifiedShell livenessMap lift (src/hooks/use-session-feed.ts already exists)
  - SocialCard agent presence UI
  - SmartDag/graph node agent presence UI
  - LeftPanel footer stats
- Out of Scope:
  - Creating new API endpoints (liveness data already flows via SSE)
  - Agent detail right panel (covered in Phase 1)

IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
- Preserve existing backend/API contracts unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Reuse shared components and logic; avoid one-off forks.
- Keep changes targeted and minimal for this bead.

VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Phase 4: Agent Presence


useSessionFeed lifted to UnifiedShell; livenessMap+agentStats wired to SmartDag, SocialPage, LeftPanel props. Typecheck clean, tests 131/133 (2 pre-existing).

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-x3l.1
- Title: Move useSessionFeed/livenessMap up to UnifiedShell
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-x3l
- Dependencies (must be done first): none (first in phase)

- Goal: useSessionFeed is currently only called in sessions-page.tsx (deprecated route). Call it in UnifiedShell and make livenessMap available as a prop to SocialCard and SmartDag.
- Success Criteria:
  - useSessionFeed(projectRoot) called in UnifiedShell
  - livenessMap: Record<string, string> available in UnifiedShell scope
  - livenessMap passed down to SocialPage and SmartDag as a prop (even if they don't use it yet — that is beadboard-x3l.2 and beadboard-x3l.3)
  - No duplicate SSE connections opened (verify useSessionFeed does not re-subscribe on re-render)
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/shared/unified-shell.tsx — add useSessionFeed call
  - src/hooks/use-session-feed.ts — read to understand return shape before using
  - src/components/social/social-page.tsx — add livenessMap prop (pass through to cards later)
  - src/components/graph/smart-dag.tsx — add livenessMap prop (use in x3l.3)

AgentAvatar rendered in SocialCard header when assignee in livenessMap. mapLiveness helper exported. SocialPage passes livenessMap to cards. 9 new tests in social-card-liveness.test.ts. Typecheck clean, no regressions.

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-x3l.2
- Title: Render agent avatar and liveness dot on SocialCard
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-x3l
- Dependencies (must be done first): beadboard-x3l.1

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: Each SocialCard for an assigned task should show the assigned agent's avatar and a liveness dot (active/stale/stuck) using livenessMap from the shell.
- Success Criteria:
  - SocialCard receives livenessMap: Record<string, string> prop
  - If issue.assignee exists and is in livenessMap, renders AgentAvatar component with liveness indicator
  - Liveness states: 'active' (green dot), 'stale' (amber dot), 'stuck' (red pulse)
  - Cards without an assignee show no avatar — no empty avatar placeholder
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/social/social-card.tsx — add livenessMap prop and avatar render
  - src/components/social/social-page.tsx — thread livenessMap through to each SocialCard
  - Check if AgentAvatar component exists (grep src/ for AgentAvatar) and use it; if not, render a simple initials circle

AgentAvatar overlay added to GraphNodeCard (bottom-right, sm size) with liveness→status mapping. WorkflowGraph and SmartDag wired. 10 new tests in graph-node-liveness.test.ts. Typecheck clean, no regressions.

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-x3l.3
- Title: Render agent avatar on graph nodes with stuck-agent pulse
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-x3l
- Dependencies (must be done first): beadboard-x3l.1

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: Active graph nodes should show the assigned agent's avatar. Nodes whose agent is in a 'stuck' liveness state should display a pulsing warning treatment so the operator can spot problems at a glance in the DAG view.
- Success Criteria:
  - Graph node card renders a small agent avatar when issue.assignee is present in livenessMap
  - Stuck agents (livenessMap value === 'stuck') show a CSS pulse/ring animation on the node border
  - Non-assigned nodes are visually unchanged
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/graph/smart-dag.tsx or the node card component it renders — add livenessMap prop and avatar/pulse render
  - Read SmartDag to find where individual node UI is rendered before editing
- Out of Scope:
  - SocialCard presence (beadboard-x3l.2)
  - Graph layout or DAG structure changes

IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS

LeftPanel footer replaced with WorkspaceStatsFooter showing live agent count + in-motion tasks from livenessMap/agentStats. Hardcoded Alex Chen removed. Typecheck clean, 10/10 left-panel tests pass.

TASK CONTEXT
- Bead ID: beadboard-x3l.4
- Title: Replace LeftPanel footer with live workspace stats
- Parent/Epic: beadboard-x3l
- Dependencies (must be done first): beadboard-x3l.1

TASK CONTRACT
- Goal: The LeftPanel footer currently shows a hardcoded identity string. Replace it with live stats: number of active agents and number of tasks currently in motion, derived from livenessMap and the live issues array.
- Success Criteria:
  - Footer shows 'N agents active, M tasks in motion' with real counts
  - Counts update reactively when SSE pushes changes
  - No hardcoded identity text remains in LeftPanel footer
  - npm run typecheck passes
- Scope:
  - src/components/shared/left-panel.tsx — update footer section
  - LeftPanel already receives issues prop — use it for task count
  - livenessMap passed from UnifiedShell (add to LeftPanelProps if not present)
- Out of Scope:
  - TopBar identity input (beadboard-0fi.1)
  - Changing LeftPanel navigation or epic tree

Ratified canonical workflow memory requiring explicit in-UI user confirmation for persistent regressions.

Scope: Bugs reported by user as still reproducing after an attempted fix.\nOut of Scope: Backend-only changes with no user-visible behavior.\nRule: Add an explicit confirmation checkpoint against the user-observed surface before closing or announcing completion.\nRationale: Green tests do not guarantee resolution in the user’s actual runtime context.\nFailure Mode: Assistant repeatedly claims fixes while user still sees the bug.

Canonicalized from user-correction loop: do not mark user-visible bug resolved without explicit in-UI confirmation checkpoint. Provenance: beadboard-x1y, beadboard-4k8. Linked to workflow anchor beadboard-nq9.

Progress: Added child task for Fit to Screen control implementation in graph canvas.

DAG Views UX Overhaul (Macro/Micro Contexts)


Graph view shows a Fit to screen control; clicking it re-fits the DAG within viewport; typecheck and lint pass.

Added visible Fit to screen control in DAG graph and wired it to ReactFlow fitView for user-triggered viewport re-fit.

Scope: Add a visible Fit to Screen button in the DAG graph view that re-runs ReactFlow fitView after users pan/zoom. Out of scope: layout density controls or node size sliders.

Implemented in src/components/shared/workflow-graph.tsx: added Fit to screen button in top-right control area; wired to handleFitToScreen() using reactflow fitView().
Verification: npm run typecheck => PASS. npm run lint => PASS (19 existing warnings, 0 errors). Additional regression check: node --import tsx --test tests/api/bead-comments-item-route.test.ts => PASS (9 tests). Memory review: no new reusable memory.

Add Fit to Screen control to DAG graph canvas


Implemented recursive epic descendant inclusion and optional hierarchy (parent/subtask) edges in DAG with tests and verification evidence recorded.

Scope: Update graph issue selection for epic context to include all descendants, not only direct children; add hierarchy edge toggle for parent/subtask links in DAG.\nOut of Scope: social view behavior changes and non-DAG cards.\nSuccess Criteria: Nested subtasks appear in DAG; parent/subtask links are optional via toggle; tests cover new behavior.

Implemented DAG subtask visibility and hierarchy links.\n\nChanges:\n- Added src/lib/epic-graph.ts with collectEpicDescendantIds() and buildWorkflowEdges().\n- Updated src/components/graph/smart-dag.tsx to include recursive epic descendants (not just direct children).\n- Updated src/components/shared/workflow-graph.tsx to support hierarchy edge toggle (default on) and render SUBTASK edges alongside BLOCKS edges.\n- Added tests/lib/epic-graph.test.ts and registered it in package.json test script.\n\nTDD evidence:\n1) node --import tsx --test tests/lib/epic-graph.test.ts\n   - initial run failed (MODULE_NOT_FOUND: ../../src/lib/epic-graph)\n2) node --import tsx --test tests/lib/epic-graph.test.ts\n   - pass: 2 tests, 0 failed\n\nVerification gates:\n- npm run typecheck: PASS\n- npm run lint: PASS (warnings only, 0 errors)\n- npm run test: FAIL (pre-existing/unrelated failures in tests/hooks/url-state-integration.test.ts)\n  - /?view=graph - graph view default expected flow got overview\n  - /?view=graph&graphTab=invalid expected flow got overview\n\nMemory review: no new reusable memory.

Implement epic descendant inclusion + hierarchy edge toggle in DAG


Completed: Fixed cross-view nav with atomic buildUrlParams URL updates. Commit c246cea.

Fixed cross-view navigation between Social and Graph views. GitBranch button on social cards navigates to graph with graphTab=flow (Dependencies/DAG tab). Columns2 button on DAG nodes navigates to Social view. Fixed stale closure bug by using single buildUrlParams() -> router.push() for atomic multi-param URL updates instead of sequential setState calls. Scope: social-card.tsx, smart-dag.tsx, graph-node-card.tsx, use-url-state.ts. Success Criteria: Cross-view buttons navigate correctly without race conditions.

Fix cross-view navigation: Social <-> Graph with atomic URL params


When working on an epic, skill reads the template:XXX label, looks up the template definition, and uses team composition to spawn appropriate agents

Already captured in bb-buff.4 as template label integration concept

When the skill spawns work on an epic, it should:\n1. Check for labels starting with 'template:'\n2. Look up the template from /api/swarm/templates\n3. Use the team composition (archetype counts) to determine how many agents to spawn\n4. Follow the protoFormula workflow\n\nThis allows the user to assign templates to epics in the UI, and the skill will automatically understand what team is needed when asked to work on that epic.

Skill should read template labels from epics


Implement Frontend UI


TASK CONTEXT\n- Parent: beadboard-c70 / beadboard-05a\n\nTASK CONTRACT\n- Goal: Define canonical installer manifest schema and shared install semantics used by all OS wrappers.\n- Success Criteria:\n  - install/manifest.json schema defined\n  - shared installer contract documented and testable\n- Scope: version/channel resolution, artifact/checksum map, command mapping\n- Out of Scope: platform wrapper implementation\n\nVERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS\n- npm run typecheck\n- npm run lint

Installer Contract: canonical manifest + shared semantics


Make Archetypes and Templates Editable in Swarm View


view=activity is a valid ViewType (in VALID_VIEWS in use-url-state.ts) but renderMiddleContent() in UnifiedShell returns null for it. SocialCard 'Jump to Activity' navigates users here, so they land on a blank page.

File: src/components/shared/unified-shell.tsx
Location: renderMiddleContent() function (around lines 103-140)

Change: Add before the final 'return null':
  if (view === 'activity') {
    return (
      <ActivityPanel
        issues={filteredIssues}
        projectRoot={projectRoot}
      />
    );
  }

Import: ActivityPanel is already used in contextual-right-panel.tsx:
  import { ActivityPanel } from '../activity/activity-panel';
Check ActivityPanel's props signature before adding - confirm it accepts issues and projectRoot.

Acceptance: Navigating to /?view=activity renders the activity feed. SocialCard 'Jump to Activity' link lands on content, not a blank page.

P0.2: Add activity render case to renderMiddleContent()


GraphNodeData interface includes labels field. WorkflowGraph passes issue.labels to node data. Tests verify labels are present in node data.

Completed. Added labels field to GraphNodeData interface and passed issue.labels through WorkflowGraph and dependency-graph-page. All 4 TDD tests pass. All verification gates pass.

## Completed Implementation

### Files Changed
- **src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx**: Added `labels: string[]` field to GraphNodeData interface
- **src/components/shared/workflow-graph.tsx**: Added `labels: issue.labels` to node data
- **src/components/graph/dependency-graph-page.tsx**: Added `labels: issue.labels` to node data (deprecated page kept working)
- **tests/components/graph/graph-node-labels.test.tsx**: Created 4 TDD tests
- **package.json**: Added new test file to test script

### Tests Written (TDD)
All 4 tests pass:
1. GraphNodeData interface includes labels field
2. GraphNodeData labels is typed as string array
3. WorkflowGraph passes issue.labels to node data
4. WorkflowGraph uses labels from issue in node mapping

### Verification Gates
- npm run typecheck: ✓ PASS
- npm run lint: ✓ PASS (0 errors, 21 warnings - all pre-existing)
- npm run test: ✓ PASS (all tests)

### Evidence
```
npm run typecheck
> tsc --noEmit
(no output = success)

npm run lint
✖ 21 problems (0 errors, 21 warnings)

Pass labels to graph nodes


Anchors exist, at least 5 canonical memory nodes exist and are closed, links to anchors exist, and plan docs updated.

Phase 1 memory fabric bootstrapped in bd with anchors and canonical memory nodes

Implement Phase 1 native memory system in bd: create domain anchors, seed canonical memory decisions with strict schema labels, link via relates_to, and document evidence.

Evidence: created anchors beadboard-76p/fld/nq9/5r1/8st; created+closed canonical nodes beadboard-116,dvp,60a,zas,duo,6fv,fga; verified retrieval via bd query label=memory+mem-canonical+status=closed and connectivity via bd dep list.

Bootstrap Phase 1 Memory Fabric (anchors + canonical nodes)


Completed: Created TelemetryStrip with real /api/activity + SSE data. Commit 114bb18.

Created new TelemetryStrip component - a minimized right sidebar that shows recent activity event dots from /api/activity + SSE (same data source as ActivityPanel). Uses getEventTone() color coding. Includes maximize button to restore full activity feed. Scope: telemetry-strip.tsx (NEW), unified-shell.tsx. Success Criteria: TelemetryStrip shows real activity events as colored dots, maximize restores full feed.

Create TelemetryStrip minimized sidebar component


Given a behavior change touching multiple views, when implementation lands, then shared logic path is reused and covered by tests.
Verification command(s): rg "<shared-function-or-hook>" src tests; npm run test

Scope: Repeated logic used by multiple views or pages.
Out of Scope: One-off prototypes and disposable experiments.
Rule: Reuse shared paths/components for cross-view behavior; avoid one-off logic drift.
Rationale: Prevents silent divergence between Kanban, Graph, and API views.
Failure Mode: Patching one surface only creates inconsistent user behavior.

Provenance linked: beadboard-68k.4, beadboard-68k.5, beadboard-r1i.1

[MEMORY][ARCH][HARD] Shared logic for cross-view behavior


Completed: Fixed agent name extraction in social-cards.ts, added navigation to BlockedTriageModal, created memory for UI display patterns

Orchestrates multi-task implementation plans using subagent-driven development

Fixed agent name bug: social-cards.ts was using bead.assignee (bead ID) instead of extracting from title/labels. Added extractAgentName() helper. Also added navigation to BlockedTriageModal via onSelectTask callback.

Agent: orchestrator
