Replaced by beadboard-1bg with updated structure following bead-prompting.md format


Implemented layout-shape controls in src/components/shared/workflow-graph.tsx: Horizontal/Vertical direction toggle, Compact/Normal density toggle, and retained Fit action. Layout now re-runs dagre with rankdir + spacing settings and updates node source/target port orientation.

Graph: add layout shape controls (not zoom)

Scope: let users change DAG shape so nodes are not forced into a long horizontal line. Implement layout direction toggle (Horizontal/Vertical) and compact spacing option in WorkflowGraph controls.

Graph has layout-shape controls; switching changes dagre rank direction and node/edge orientation; typecheck and lint pass.

Core Skill Rewrite: beadboard-driver SKILL.md v4

Rewrite skill core contract in `skills/beadboard-driver/SKILL.md` for v4.

Required changes
1) Replace legacy "Activity Lease" wording with finalized telemetry/liveness semantics from bb-buff resiliency track.
2) Encode strict session loop:
   - bootstrap/adopt,
   - reserve,
   - work + protocol signaling,
   - typed state updates,
   - release + closeout evidence.
3) Add role/scope/swarm-aware examples (not single-agent-only examples).
4) Remove/flag any command examples that no longer exist or were renamed.
5) Add a compatibility section explaining what changed from v3 and why.

Validation requirements
- Every command shown must exist in current CLI surface or be explicitly marked as "pending in linked bead".
- Include at least one non-interactive machine-parseable flow example.

Files
- skills/beadboard-driver/SKILL.md

SKILL.md v4 reflects bb-buff semantics with no legacy drift, includes swarm/state examples, and documents compatibility delta from prior version.


"Rewrite

Format Check


"Rewrite


Reference Pack Rewrite: command matrix, lifecycle, failure modes

Refactor skill reference docs to match v4 contract and remove command drift.

Required updates
1) `references/command-matrix.md`
- remove deprecated entries,
- categorize commands by phase (bootstrap, coordination, state, closeout),
- annotate required/optional arguments and JSON envelopes.
2) `references/session-lifecycle.md`
- add swarm-aware and role-routing-aware lifecycle steps,
- include handoff and blocker obligations for multi-agent sessions.
3) `references/failure-modes.md`
- add new failure classes (state mismatch, swarm resolution failure, role fanout empty set, telemetry unavailable fallback),
- add deterministic remediation steps.

Cross-check
- reference docs must align with SKILL.md v4 and script behavior.

Files
- skills/beadboard-driver/references/command-matrix.md
- skills/beadboard-driver/references/session-lifecycle.md
- skills/beadboard-driver/references/failure-modes.md

All reference docs are v4-consistent, command-accurate, and remediation-complete for new runtime semantics.


Script Alignment: preflight/readiness/driver-lib v4

Align skill scripts with v4 runtime contract and diagnostics.

Targets
1) `scripts/session-preflight.mjs`
- validate availability of required tools/paths for v4 flow,
- output machine-readable diagnostics for new orchestration/resiliency expectations.
2) `scripts/readiness-report.mjs`
- include checks for state/telemetry/routing evidence fields when applicable.
3) `scripts/lib/driver-lib.mjs`
- centralize any command/path resolution helpers needed by v4.
4) Ensure script outputs are stable JSON for downstream automation agents.

Rules
- No hidden interactive prompts.
- Clear error codes + remediation in all failure outputs.

Files
- skills/beadboard-driver/scripts/session-preflight.mjs
- skills/beadboard-driver/scripts/readiness-report.mjs
- skills/beadboard-driver/scripts/lib/driver-lib.mjs

Skill scripts emit deterministic JSON diagnostics aligned with v4 contracts and include explicit error-code remediation.


Test Matrix Expansion: skill-local and repo-level v4 coverage

Expand and reconcile test coverage for skill package and repository-level skill tests.

Test surfaces
1) Skill-local tests
- skills/beadboard-driver/tests/*
2) Repo-level tests
- tests/skills/beadboard-driver/*

Required additions
- contract tests for updated command matrix assumptions,
- lifecycle tests for non-interactive v4 flow,
- failure-mode tests for newly documented error codes/remediations,
- script output schema assertions for preflight/readiness tools.

Gate
- ensure all existing skill tests still pass after v4 migration.

Files
- skills/beadboard-driver/tests/*
- tests/skills/beadboard-driver/*

Skill v4 behavior is covered by updated local and repo tests, including non-interactive flow, failure remediations, and output schema assertions.


Migration Handoff: v3 to v4 adoption guide

Publish migration and adoption handoff for other agents.

Deliverables
1) Migration note under `skills/beadboard-driver/references/` describing v3 -> v4 changes.
2) concise "how to adopt v4" checklist for external agents.
3) known limitations + pending linked beads matrix.
4) evidence block with exact test commands and results.

Purpose
Prevent repeat confusion and ensure low-intelligence agents can execute the new skill without tribal knowledge.

Files
- skills/beadboard-driver/references/migration-v4.md (new)
- optional addendum in SKILL.md links section

Migration guide exists with explicit delta, adoption checklist, and verification evidence references so other agents can reliably use v4 skill.

bb-6bx.2: ZFC State Machine Integration

PROMPT: IMPLEMENT ZFC-compliant lifecycle wrapper in 'src/lib/agent-registry.ts'.
1. DEFINE: updateAgentState(agentId, state) strictly typed to: [idle, spawning, running, working, stuck, done, stopped, dead].
2. WIRE: Auto-trigger 'stuck' state in tools/bb.ts global catch block when process.exitCode !== 0.
3. MEASURABLE RESULT: 'bd agent show <id> --json' reflects the exact state transition after a simulated CLI failure.


Fix zod dependency conflict for eslint

npm run lint executes without ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED error. zod version is compatible with both @remotion/zod-types and eslint-plugin-react-hooks dependencies.


Graph View Filtering - Handle swarm and task URL params

Graph view reads swarm and task params from URL. When swarm=xxx, graph filters/hides non-swarm nodes or highlights swarm nodes. When task=xxx, graph centers on that node. Combining view=graph with other params works correctly. npm run typecheck && npm run lint pass.

REOPENED - CODE REVERTED

Failures documented:
1. Made graph filtering changes without visual verification
2. Did not confirm swarm highlighting works
3. Did not confirm task centering works

Current state: Code reverted to original.


Swarm Card Deep Links - Wire up jump icons to URL state

SwarmCard Graph icon navigates to /?view=graph&swarm={id} with swarm nodes highlighted. SwarmCard Timeline icon navigates to /?view=activity&swarm={id}. URL updates without page reload. npm run typecheck && npm run lint pass.

REOPENED - CODE REVERTED

Failures documented:
1. Did not properly wire up handlers
2. No browser verification of deep links
3. Changed component signatures without testing integration

Current state: Code reverted to original.


Social Card Deep Links - Wire up jump icons to URL state

SocialCard onJumpToGraph icon navigates to /?view=graph&task={id}. SocialCard onJumpToKanban icon navigates to legacy kanban or is removed if kanban deprecated. URL updates without page reload. Right panel state preserved appropriately. npm run typecheck && npm run lint pass.

REOPENED - CODE REVERTED

Failures documented:
1. Incorrectly removed Kanban icon from SocialCard
2. Changed component interface without requirements
3. Did not verify deep links work in browser
4. Assumed typecheck passing = feature working

Current state: Code reverted to original. Needs proper implementation with verification.

[MEMORY][UI][HARD] Extract human-readable names from raw data fields

Scope: Any place that displays agent/user names from bead data\nOut of Scope: Displaying raw IDs in debug/metadata views\nRule: Never use bead.assignee directly for display - it contains the bead ID (e.g., beadboard-xyz), not the agent name. Always extract via: 1) title matching "Agent: <name>" pattern, 2) labels with "agent:" prefix, 3) fallback to raw value only if extraction fails.\nRationale: Raw data fields often contain system identifiers, not human-readable content. Extract before display.\nFailure Mode: Agent avatars show bead IDs like "beadboard-abc" instead of actual names.

[BUG] Epics with no children hidden by hideClosed filter

## 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)


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

Add ProjectScopeControls to UnifiedShell

## 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

Diagnose and fix frontend/Dolt data mismatch and stale sidebar state


[BUG] Epics with no children hidden by hideClosed filter

## 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.


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

Added label: p0


Added label: frontend


Added label: reliability


P0 Incident: Hide Closed showed closed epic bb-u6f.7

Scope: Document root cause, remediation, and prevention controls for Hide Closed showing a closed epic in active UI.\nOut of Scope: New feature work unrelated to filtering/state consistency.\nSuccess Criteria: Clear incident narrative, evidence commands, and prevention checklist linked to canonical memories.


Incident summary:\n- User observed closed epic bb-u6f.7 still visible with Hide Closed enabled.\n\nRoot causes:\n1) LeftPanel hide logic exempted selected entries; selected closed epic could persist.\n2) Dependency graph epic chip surface used an unfiltered epic list in one path.\n3) Stale-state risk increased under unstable SSE; no guaranteed initial client refresh in some flows.\n\nRemediations implemented:\n- left-panel.tsx: closed/tombstone epic hidden regardless of selection when hideClosed=true.\n- unified-shell.tsx: auto-clear selected epic if hideClosed=true and selected epic is closed/tombstone.\n- dependency-graph-page.tsx: feed EpicChipStrip with hide-closed filtered selectableEpics and align selection/requested-epic checks.\n- page.tsx + use-beads-subscription.ts: force-dynamic + initial silent refresh on mount.\n\nEvidence:\n- bd show bb-u6f.7 => closed epic\n- direct SQL at 127.0.0.1:3307 => bb-u6f.7 status=closed, issue_type=epic\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\nPrevention checklist:\n- Enforce filter invariants across ALL surfaces consuming same concept (left panel, chip strip, selected state).\n- Never preserve selected closed entities when hideClosed=true.\n- In stale-state triage, validate bd parity, SQL parity, API payload parity, then UI selection state parity.\n- Add contract tests for each surface and selected-state invalidation.

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

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 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.

[MEMORY][RELIABILITY][HARD] For stale UI reports, verify bd->SQL->API->UI parity in 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 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.

[MEMORY][WORKFLOW][SOFT] Persisting user-reported regressions require explicit in-UI confirmation checkpoint

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.


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

[MEMORY][AGENT-OPS][SOFT] Respect user-assigned scope in multi-agent sessions

Scope: Sessions where multiple agents are active and the user clarifies ownership boundaries.\nOut of Scope: Single-agent sessions with no explicit ownership split.\nRule: If the user states a bead is owned by another agent, immediately stop work on that bead and continue only on the user-assigned scope.\nRationale: Prevents duplicate/conflicting work and keeps coordination clean.\nFailure Mode: Parallel agents overwrite each other or create handoff confusion.


Ratified canonical memory from user correction to preserve multi-agent scope discipline.


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

Standard direct edges are blue/slate. Transitive edges are dimmed/dashed dark gray.


Added canonical installer manifest contract + validator in src/lib/install-manifest.ts and regression coverage in tests/lib/install-manifest.test.ts. Added new test file to explicit npm test enumeration in package.json. TDD evidence: node --import tsx --test tests/lib/install-manifest.test.ts failed first with Cannot find module '../../src/lib/install-manifest'; then passed 4/4 after implementation. Repo gates: npm run typecheck (pass), npm run lint (pass with 22 existing warnings), npm run test (fails unrelated in tests/hooks/url-state-integration.test.ts: expected graphTab flow but got overview).

Manifest Schema + Validation


Implemented Installer Contract ADR at docs/adr/2026-03-03-global-installer-contract-and-manifest.md defining installer.v1 schema, runtime command contract, wrapper contract, and detect-only driver boundary. Verification evidence: node --import tsx --test tests/lib/install-manifest.test.ts (red: MODULE_NOT_FOUND before implementation; green: 4/4 pass after implementation); npm run typecheck (pass); npm run lint (pass with 22 existing warnings, 0 errors); npm run test (fails in tests/hooks/url-state-integration.test.ts expecting graphTab flow but actual overview; pre-existing and outside 05a installer scope).

Installer Contract ADR

Add start guidance + --dolt path

Scope:
- install/beadboard.mjs start command behavior and messaging
- launcher tests for start guidance and --dolt behavior
- README launcher docs
Out of Scope:
- modifying bd tool behavior
Success Criteria:
- beadboard start prints guidance to run bd dolt start in project folder and points to beadboard start --dolt
- beadboard start --dolt attempts bd dolt start in CWD before app start
- tests cover both behaviors
- README includes this guidance


Implemented startup UX + Dolt bootstrap integration:
- Added launcher flag parsing for --dolt
- beadboard start now prints explicit guidance: run `bd dolt start` in project folder, or use `beadboard start --dolt`
- Implemented `start --dolt` to invoke `bd dolt start` in current working directory before BeadBoard startup
- Added BB_START_NOOP path for deterministic launcher tests
- Updated CLI help text to show `start [--dolt]`
- Updated README launcher docs with startup note and one-command flow

TDD evidence:
- RED: node --import tsx --test tests/scripts/beadboard-launcher.test.ts (hung/cancelled before implementation due real start path)
- GREEN: node --import tsx --test tests/scripts/beadboard-launcher.test.ts (pass)
- GREEN: node --import tsx --test tests/cli/beadboard-help-output.test.ts (pass)
