An archive-sourced marketplace entry ("source": "url" — this project's own)
makes Claude Code unpack the plugin rather than clone it, so the cache dir
has no .git. getUpdatesStatus probed for .git first and returned "not a git
clone; check for updates manually", skipping the entire release layer:
update_available stayed false however many releases were published, and
plugin_marketplace/plugin_name were never set, so POST /api/updates/apply's
plugin branch could never fire (it answered 409, claiming nothing newer was
published). The bug reads as "up to date", so it stayed invisible for as
long as the install happened to be current.
The plugin branch now runs BEFORE the .git probe and answers without git at
all: the repository URL comes from the marketplace manifest on disk
(known_marketplaces.json -> .claude-plugin/marketplace.json -> source.url,
null rather than a guessed host for a github owner/repo shorthand), and
package.json is the only local comparison signal. A failed release lookup
is reported as release_check, never as "nothing newer".
UI/CLI: the "not a git clone" note is gated on install_kind !== "plugin", so
the Update now button is offered where the dashboard can actually check and
apply.
Update detection was a commit count against the default branch, which says nothing about whether a *version* shipped and is pure noise on the plugin cache (a depth-1 clone, where every distance is a graft artefact). It now reads the forge's own releases API and compares the published tag to this install's package.json version, falling back to the commit count only when no release can be read — with the reason in release_check, so "up to date" never silently means "we could not look".
Two states a commit count cannot express: dev_build (ahead of the newest release, missing nothing from it) now reads "Dev build - N ahead" instead of a false "Up to date"; and on a shallow clone every commits_*_release field is null and dev_build is never asserted, because the numbers would be meaningless.
POST /api/updates/apply gains a second mode, chosen by install kind and never by the request body. A checkout still fast-forwards onto the release tag, rebuilds and self-restarts. A ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ install is refused by applyUpdate (that directory is Claude Code's to replace) and handed instead to a detached chain: claude plugin marketplace update -> claude plugin update -y -> plugin-bootstrap.js --force from the NEW cache dir, which retires this server and starts its replacement. Both write the HTTP response before anything stops the process.
The chain records every outcome to plugin-update.json in the runtime dir, outside the cache the update replaces, so the next server reports it as last_plugin_update: a failed chain is otherwise indistinguishable from a slow one, and the tab would poll a server that never returns. /reload-plugins is deliberately not in the chain - it is REPL-scoped to the session that runs it, so no background process can perform it, and plugin-bootstrap derives PLUGIN_ROOT from its own __dirname, which is what makes it unnecessary for the dashboard.
Also rebrands the sidebar subtitle, splash and page title to SmartGift Solution, and corrects three ARCHITECTURE.md statements that claimed /apply did not exist.
Verified: server 1683/1683, client 486/486, build, prettier, file-header audit, openapi.yaml regenerated.
Two leftovers from the rebrand, done together because they touch the same
docs and manifests.
**Data directory.** `agent-dashboard` could not simply be renamed in the
source: it names a real directory holding the live SQLite database. Startup
now moves it once, via `migrateLegacyDataDir()` in `server/lib/claude-home.js`
— a same-filesystem rename, so it is instant even at multiple gigabytes and
cannot leave two divergent copies. `getDataDir()` stays PURE and resolves to
the legacy path until the move happens; the first version of this put the
rename inside the getter, which meant `npm run test:server` relocated the
developer's real database as a side effect. The call sits behind
`require.main === module` and ahead of the router requires, because those pull
in db.js, which opens SQLite at module load. A failed rename is silent and the
old directory keeps being used: an unfashionable directory name beats a blank
database beside an unreachable one. Same treatment for the port-discovery file
(`.agent-dashboard.json` → `.agenthub.json`, old one dropped on write).
Not renamed on purpose: the Sagi localStorage keys (renaming silently resets
everyone's prefs) and the PWA manifest `id` (changing it orphans an installed
app).
**MCP server.** 4 tool calls in 46 days across 577,132 events, against 4,556
lines of TypeScript, a 2 MB committed build artifact, and a pre-commit guard
that had already blocked commits twice. Deleted: `mcp/`, the maintainer skills
and `mcp-reviewer` agent, the build check, `plugins/agenthub/.mcp.json`,
`docs/MCP.md`, 12 npm scripts, 5 Makefile targets, and every doc section
describing it.
Kept, because they are unrelated things sharing the name: the Config
Explorer's MCP tab and its API, per-lane Playwright MCP, the agenthub-config
plugin's MCP audit, and the historical `mcp__plugin_agenthub_*` events that
analytics must keep attributing.
Verified: server 1432/1432, client 459/459, tsc clean, prettier clean. Both
directions of the migration proven — a sandbox-HOME test run leaves the legacy
directory untouched, and a real boot moves it with its contents intact.
Clean break, no compatibility alias. Renames the product name, the CLI
binary (`ccam` -> `agenthub`), the env var prefix (`CCAM_` ->
`AGENTHUB_`), the Prometheus metric namespace (`ccam_*` ->
`agenthub_*`), the tmux session prefix (`ccam-lane-<id>` ->
`agenthub-lane-<id>`), the per-repo runtime profile directory
(`.ccam/profile` -> `.agenthub/profile`), the lanes state root
(`~/.claude/ccam-lanes` -> `~/.claude/agenthub-lanes`), the bundled
plugins (`plugins/ccam*` -> `plugins/agenthub*`) and their slash
commands (`/ccam-doctor` -> `/agenthub-doctor`, `/ccam:*` ->
`/agenthub:*`).
Because there is no alias, an existing install has to be updated by
hand: rename its `.ccam/profile` directory and any `CCAM_*` variables,
and reinstall the plugin under its new name.
Two other name families are deliberately left alone here, since they are
not just strings: the `Claude-Code-Monitor` repository/marketplace name,
and the `agent-dashboard` npm package plus its `~/.claude/agent-dashboard`
runtime directory, which holds the live database and needs a migration
rather than a rename.
Verified: server 1406/1406, client 459/459, `grep -i ccam` clean across
tracked files, `openapi.yaml` regenerated (95 paths, unchanged count).
A pipeline was all-or-nothing: `ccam ship-full` / `ship-quick` hand the whole
thing to a skill, and a node's own `command` — added so the map would stop
hiding the driver behind its detect regexes — was display-only. Re-running just
the CI gate, or redoing the brainstorm, meant clicking copy on the node and
pasting the string into a session by hand.
`ccam lanes node [<id>] [extra…] [--print]` runs it, in the lane's own cwd. A
slash-command node spawns `claude` with it as the prompt (same shape as
`ccam ship-full`); anything else is spawned directly. No id lists every node
and its command, which is also what the two error paths print.
The node is matched by id OR alias, the same way `ccam stage` matches one:
`default` calls the step `implement` and `ship-feature` calls it `implementing`,
and one command name must not depend on which template the lane happens to be
on. That needs the template's `aliases`, which the lane payload's
`pipeline_nodes` does not carry — so the two are merged, template for the
definition, lane for the `current` marker.
Both shipped templates now fill EVERY node's `command`. The seven that were
empty are the nodes whose only work IS the declaration — a terminal `done`, a
gate another agent declares — so they get `ccam stage <id>`, which keeps all 16
(and all 8) runnable instead of leaving holes a caller has to know about.
Slash commands for the same thing, because a session should not shell out to a
nested `claude`: `/intake`, `/plan`, `/implement`, `/tests`, `/e2e`,
`/e2e-passed`, `/review`, `/qc-plan`, `/qc`, `/gate`, `/publishing`, `/pr-open`,
`/reported`, `/watching-pr`, `/merged`, `/done`, plus `/ship-full` and
`/ship-quick`. Each resolves its node through `ccam lanes node <id> --print` and
runs the result IN the current session — invoking the slash command itself when
that is what the node names, otherwise running the shell argv. Resolving at call
time rather than baking the string into the file is what stops the 18 command
files from drifting when a template changes.
Two limits are deliberate:
- The command is split on whitespace and spawned WITHOUT a shell. A template
is data — anyone can drop a file into DASHBOARD_PIPELINES_DIR — so its
`command` must never be interpreted as shell. A node needing a pipe names a
script that contains one.
- Running a node does not declare its stage. A command executing is not proof
the node passed, same boundary as the console never writing a lane's stage.
Verified: npm run test:server (1403, +3 covering alias matching, full command
coverage of both templates, and every command file being listed in the
manifest), npm run test:client (459), prettier and check-headers clean. Docs:
docs/LANES.md § Running ONE node, docs/PLUGINS.md commands table, README +
README.vi CLI blocks, CLAUDE.md marker.
The ship-feature pipelines drive `/superpowers:*` commands as their per-node
drivers, so a fresh install had a dependency it was only told about — the
`/ccam-doctor` WARN row and a line in the README.
`server/lib/skill-plugins.js` now carries the whole thing, shared by the
doctor (reports) and the bootstrap (installs) so the two cannot disagree
about what is missing. The bootstrap installs at the very end of its DETACHED
worker — the install clones from the network and nothing in the 10 s
SessionStart hook may wait on it — retrying once behind a `marketplace add`,
logging a failure with the manual command, and never throwing: the dashboard,
hooks, CLI and MCP all work without these plugins. The outcome is recorded as
`state.skillPluginsSettled`, which `fastPathOk()` now also requires, so the
check runs exactly once per install and `/ccam-update` is the retry.
`CCAM_AUTO_INSTALL_PLUGINS=0|false|off` opts out.
Reporting is derived, installing is allowlisted. Requirements come from the
loaded templates, which is right for a report; installing from that same
source would not be, because a template is a file anyone can drop into
`DASHBOARD_PIPELINES_DIR` — it would turn "edit a JSON file" into "run this
vendor's install command on the next session". Auto-install consults
`AUTO_INSTALLABLE`, a constant in code (`superpowers` today), and reports
every other requirement as skipped.
Tests inject a `run` seam so no case reaches a real `claude plugin install`,
and cover the refusal explicitly.
The Workspace page rendered `ConsoleArea` from two sites, picked by
`currentLane`. Every flip of that value unmounted the whole console
subtree and mounted it again at the other site: the terminal died, the
run history went with it, and `LaneConsolePane`'s lane-switch effect
wiped a half-typed prompt. It flipped on every page load (lanes arrive,
`refreshLanes` selects `lanes[0]`), on a lane being removed, and on any
refetch that re-picked the selection.
`lane-detail` is now always rendered and holds the only `ConsoleArea`;
the header and info block are the conditional parts. Same rule the
RunConsole already followed one level down — collapse with CSS, never by
unmounting — now enforced above it too.
Second half: every poller fed `setState` a brand-new object graph each
tick, re-rendering the lane strip, the card and the console area several
times a minute on a completely idle dashboard. `keepIfSame` keeps the
previous reference when the payload is value-identical, applied to the
5 s run/session poll, the lane list and counts, the `lane_update` WS
branch, and LaneCard's git/runtime/locks pollers.
Verified: npm run test:client (44 files / 454 tests), tsc --noEmit
clean, check-headers.sh clean. The Run screen snapshot was regenerated —
the diff is the added `<section>` wrapper and one indent level, no
content change.
A codex session emits no hooks and rarely calls `ccam stage` on its own, so
its card sat at `idle` forever while the amber "detected" badge was the only
thing that ever moved. `codex-ingest.js` now advances the declared `stage`
from its own written detection — the one place in CCAM where an inference
moves the blue `current` ring, and only for `codex` lanes.
It stays honest: gated on `recordDetection` having written (so forward-only,
declared-wins and the detection TTL are inherited unchanged), passes NO
evidence (the node renders `passed-no-evidence` amber, never `done`), and no
template's last node carries detect rules, so a lane can never be
auto-declared `done`. `setStage` grows a `keepDetection` option — its sole
caller — so the detection columns survive the advance and the card keeps
showing which command moved it instead of looking like an agent's own claim.
Two levers then get the evidence auto-advance cannot supply:
- `codex-nudge.js` now nudges on a stage held 2+ min with no evidence,
instead of on a detection sitting ahead of the declared stage — after
auto-advance the old condition can never fire, since the two now match.
- `ccam lanes agents install` on a codex lane writes the marker-delimited
`<!-- ccam:stage:start -->` block into the lane's own AGENTS.md — the one
instruction channel Codex reads — instead of copying agent templates into
`.claude/agents/`, which it never loads. Appended, user prose preserved,
reinstall replaces exactly that block.
Verified with a real `codex exec` run: stage moved to `watching-pr` with
`evidence: null` and the detection signal intact. 1364 server tests pass.
Three defects let a lane's pipeline map claim progress that was not this
pass's work, all of them on the "going back" path a new request takes:
- `setStage` cleared the detection columns on a real transition but never
pruned the `stages` records AHEAD of the new stage. A lane that ran through
`done` and was then declared back at `plan` rendered `plan` as `current`
while `tests`/`review`/`done` still read `done`, carrying the previous
pass's evidence, and contradicting `progress` (computed from the declared
index alone). A backwards declaration now drops every record it can prove
is ahead; a key matching no node is unplaceable and left alone.
- `activateFeature` rewrote the live lane row for the incoming feature but
carried the outgoing one's `detected_*` across. A never-seen slug starts at
`stage='idle'`/`stages={}`, exactly the shape `inferredDisplayStage` renders
from detection, so the new feature opened painted with the old one's
progress — and forward-only rejected every real detection for it until the
carried-over one aged past DETECTION_TTL_MS. Now cleared, like every other
real transition; deliberately not archived, since detection is live-only.
- `codex-ingest` classified a rollout journal by raw `now - mtime`, which goes
negative for a future mtime (clock stepped back, NTP correction, a restore
that preserved timestamps) and read as "written milliseconds ago". A
finished thread's journal could replay as live work; a file claiming to be
from the future is now idle.
Also fixes `check-headers.sh`, which audited via `find` and so reported local
gitignored runtime state (a lane's own `.ccam/profile/hooks/*.sh`) that is not
this repo's source and can never be made compliant here. It now lists files
through git (tracked + untracked-but-not-ignored), so a file an agent just
wrote is still caught before it is staged while ignored state is not.
Tests: 1359 pass (4 new). Header audit exits 0.
A lane on the 16-node `ship-feature` template showed an untouched pipeline
map and never declared a stage. Four independent causes, fixed at their
shared choke points:
1. Codex emits no hooks, so `touchLaneFromHook` — the only caller of
`stage-detect.detect()`, and correctly pinned to `claude` — could never
see a `codex` lane. New `server/lib/codex-ingest.js` tails Codex's own
rollout journals (`$CODEX_HOME/sessions/**/rollout-*.jsonl`), maps its
tool calls onto the hook-shaped `{tool_name, tool_input}` the matcher
already understands, and feeds the existing detect path plus an
idle/running status mirror under the same guard hooks use. Polled every
`DASHBOARD_CODEX_POLL_MS` ms (default 15000, `0` disables).
2. `resolveLaneArg` matched on cwd alone, so with a claude and a codex lane
at one directory (the composite `idx_lanes_cwd_tool`) a `ccam stage`
call could drive the sibling lane's card. It now resolves by
`--lane` → `CCAM_LANE_ID` → `--tool`/harness marker → owning lane, and
errors naming both candidates rather than picking one. Every pane the
dashboard starts carries `CCAM_LANE_ID` (`tmux new-session -e`, or an
assignment prefix when typing into a live shell pane).
3. `recordDetection`'s declared-wins veto had no exit: a lane left at the
pipeline's last node rejected every detection for the rest of its life.
A declaration on the LAST node no longer vetoes — the pipeline is over
there, so a later detection is new work. Nothing else is relaxed, and
detection still never writes `stage` nor renders `done`.
4. The run console pre-filled the pipeline's Claude slash command into
codex panes, which Codex reads as prose — so the skill that would have
called `ccam stage` never ran. Claude lanes only now.
A codex lane's *declared* stage still depends on the session calling
`ccam stage`; `AGENTS.md` is the only lever CCAM has, so it now says so.
Verified: server 1345/1345, client 441/441, and end-to-end against a real
codex lane row (detected_stage/detected_signal set, declared stage
untouched, no node rendered done).
Repo/Adopt mode (POST /api/lanes/ensure) treated lanes.cwd as globally
unique, so adopting a path already driven by one CLI silently ignored a
different tool choice. Uniqueness moves to the composite (cwd, tool):
one directory can now back a claude lane and a codex lane side by side.
- server/db.js: drop the column-level UNIQUE on cwd, migrate existing
DBs via table rebuild, add idx_lanes_cwd_tool.
- resolveLaneByCwd gains an optional tool filter; hook ingestion always
pins to "claude" since Codex has no hook mechanism here, so a hook
event never touches a codex lane sharing the path.
- POST /ensure resolves the existing owner by (cwd, tool) instead of
cwd alone, so a different tool creates a sibling lane.
- LaneConsolePane's cwd-only lane lookups now also match tool, so a
shared cwd doesn't attach a run to the wrong sibling lane.
Worktree mode is unaffected (already allocates a unique directory per
lane). docs/LANES.md and CLAUDE.md updated to describe the new
composite uniqueness.
Add the codex-lane facts and doc-sync marker to CLAUDE.md, document the
per-lane tool picker in README/README.vi, and bring server/README.md and
client/README.md's API and routing tables up to date with the tmux-backed
run endpoints and the /workspace route.
Move .claude/agents/ and server/data/agent-templates/ship-feature-lane/
into one agents/ at the repo root — which IS the plugin root, so all five
agents now ship with the ccam plugin as ccam:<name>, the same way skills
already do.
The two pipeline agents were byte-identical copies in both places; that
duplication is gone. `ccam lanes agents install` now reads them straight
from agents/, so the per-lane copy in <lane>/.claude/agents/ still gives
the bare `subagent_type: qc-local` the ship-feature-lane skill prefers.
Skill and docs record both names: bare inside a lane, ccam: as fallback.
The repo root already IS the `ccam` plugin root (`"source": "./"`), so the
conventional `skills/` dir at the root is the plugin's skills dir — while
`.claude/skills/` only loaded for a session whose cwd was inside this
checkout. That is useless for a lane working in another repo, which is why
`ccam skills install` existed at all.
Move all seven skills to `skills/`: they now reach every plugin user as
`/ccam:<name>` (bare `/<name>` as an alias). `ccam skills install` stays as
the fallback for a plain checkout without the plugin, sourcing from the new
path.
Agents deliberately do NOT move. A plugin agent is addressed as
`ccam:qc-local`, which would break the `subagent_type: qc-local` references
in ship-feature-lane; `ccam lanes agents install` keeps writing them into the
lane's own `.claude/agents/`, the highest-priority agent source. MCP was
already plugin-shipped via `plugins/ccam/.mcp.json`.
Mechanical fallout: ~115 source files carry a doc-comment pointer to
`.claude/skills/file-headers/`, repointed to `skills/file-headers/`. The
generic Claude Code config-surface examples in openapi/cc-config (`.claude/
skills/code-reviewer`) describe any user's layout and are left alone.
Also fixes the two file-headers scripts, whose `ROOT=` climbed four levels
from `.claude/skills/file-headers/scripts/` and would have escaped the repo
from the new depth — it scanned sibling projects until corrected to three.
npm run test:server (1160 pass), test:client (422 pass), mcp:typecheck,
mcp:build + mcp:check-build all green.
Adds POST /api/updates/apply (pull, rebuild, restart) plus an "Update now"
button and hourly auto-check in the UI, for checkouts that are safely
fast-forwardable. Reintroduces self-restart (previously removed in edc25ca
for cross-environment reliability concerns) per explicit user request.
Adds a root `ccam` plugin (`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `"source": "./"`) so
`/plugin marketplace add` + `/plugin install ccam@...` is enough on a machine
with nothing but Claude Code: no clone, no npm run setup, no manual npm start.
- scripts/plugin-bootstrap.js: SessionStart hook. Fast-path exit, Node >=22.5
gate (node:sqlite), mkdir lock with stale reclaim, deps installed into
~/.claude/agent-dashboard/runtime/ (never the plugin cache), legacy
checkout-hook cleanup (backed up), ~/.local/bin/ccam launcher, eager UI
build so client routes like /run work immediately, detached server spawn.
- scripts/plugin-open.js, scripts/plugin-doctor.js: /ccam-open, /ccam-doctor.
- server/index.js: DASHBOARD_CLIENT_DIST override (plugin cache is read-only).
- mcp/build/ is committed (plugin MCP servers start before any bootstrap could
build them) and kept honest by scripts/check-mcp-build.js (content hash,
not mtime), enforced by pre-commit when mcp/src changes.
- plugins/ccam-dashboard/.mcp.json moved under plugins/ccam/ with a working
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path (the old relative path never resolved from a
marketplace-cached subdir).

Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory,
tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the
dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy
guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already
own and are never destroyable.
Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares
with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream
renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only
within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage.
Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline,
