What broke (code audit, untested on a Mac):
- Without systemd the server is always spawned from inside a Claude Code
session, so it inherited CLAUDECODE, CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID,
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, ... and tmux handed them to every lane pane (a codex
pane even resolved as `claude` in `agenthub`'s harness check).
- The ~/.local/bin/agenthub launcher pinned a versioned node path that
`brew upgrade`/nvm deletes, leaving the CLI dead until the next bootstrap.
- A discovery entry left over from before a reboot could name a recycled pid,
so the bootstrap's fast path believed a dashboard was live and
stopDashboard could signal an unrelated process.
- Lanes were stored under the typed cwd; macOS reports /private/tmp and the
on-disk case, so sessions never bound to a /tmp or differently-cased lane.
What changed:
- server/index.js deletes a DENYLIST of parent-session variables at startup;
user config (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK, ANTHROPIC_*) stays.
- linkCli's launcher falls back to `node` on PATH when the pinned one is gone.
- liveServers ignores entries whose startedAt predates this boot (60 s margin).
- createLane and POST /api/lanes/ensure store/look up fs.realpathSync.native
of an existing cwd; the liveness reaper also tries the realpath. Existing
rows are untouched.
- session-liveness gains an exec seam so the darwin ps+lsof branch is tested.
- plugin-doctor names ~/.zshrc on darwin; INSTALL.md gains a macOS section
with the Mac verification checklist, mirrored in both READMEs and PLUGINS.md.
No launchd, no macOptionIsMeta, engines stays >=20.
Part A — a fetch/pull/push against a remote that needs a login no longer
dies on "terminal prompts disabled": the server answers 409 EGITAUTH with
the host, the git bar asks for a username + password/access token and
resends the same action. AgentHub keeps its OWN credential store
(<CLAUDE_HOME>/agenthub-git-credentials/, 0700/0600), one login per host,
shared by every user of the install, managed from Settings -> Git
credentials. A login is only sent to one of the repo's own remote hosts,
saved only after git accepted it, never returned by any route, and reaches
git through an exclusive credential helper (never argv).
Part B — merge a branch (or the diverged upstream) from the git bar; a
merge that stops on conflicts lists them in the Changes panel with Keep
mine / Take theirs / Mark resolved, then Complete merge or Abort merge
(confirm gate). Clean tree, repo-root lane and an existing ref only;
pull/switch/hunk actions are blocked mid-merge; staging a conflicted file
with markers left is refused. Rebase/reset/stash stay out.
- Changes panel at full screen: the whole Files view (finder, expand-all,
tree) becomes a left sidebar and the Files tab is dropped; a working-copy
file opens straight into the editor (Save/Cancel live once the text
differs, Cancel restores it, Whole file toggles back to the diff), and the
page is height-locked so the editor no longer collapses with no live run.
- Overview splits into Staged Changes / Changes groups in the work range.
- A changed file's whole tree row takes its status tint.
- Drag an image onto the lane terminal: POST /api/run/drop-image saves it
(png/jpeg/gif/webp, random name, 0600, pruned after a day) and the path
is pasted into the pane, which is how claude attaches it.
- Claude Opus 5.5 gets its own pricing row (4/20/0.2/5/8, fast 8/40);
claude-opus-5% had been pricing it as Opus 5.
- server/lib/pricing-sync.js: a model family used in token_usage with no
row of its own is inserted from LiteLLM's public price list, never
updated; off with AGENTHUB_PRICING_SYNC=0. repo-links allows exactly
that one third-party GitHub raw URL.
Three defects that all showed up as "the dashboard's numbers are wrong", plus
the notification and brand work asked for alongside them.
Tokens: Claude Code writes ONE JSONL line per content block of an assistant
message, and every one of those lines repeats the same message-level `usage`.
Both parsers summed them, so a tool-heavy session's tokens — and its cost — ran
1.5-2x high (one 4h session: $45.82 stored against $27.72 real). `lastUsageMsgId`
counts a message once, carried across the transcript cache's incremental chunk
boundaries. `replaceTokenUsage`'s high-water baselines mean the fixed parser
cannot correct what is already stored, so `setTokenUsage` (exact, baselines
cleared) is added for the deliberate re-parse path and `reconcileTokens` now
covers every session with a transcript on disk rather than imported ones only.
Turns: every `TurnDuration` row was stamped NOW while its dedup guard matched on
the transcript's timestamp, so each hook re-inserted the session's whole turn
history — 587k rows, 75% of a real events table, one session holding 68,747
copies of the same turns. The row now carries the transcript timestamp, which
fixes the guard and the feed's ordering together. Same class of bug in the
session metadata: `thinking_blocks` / `turn_count` / `total_turn_duration_ms`
are assigned from the full parse instead of `+=`, since `extract()` returns
whole-transcript totals on every call.
Events: leftover checkout hook entries in `~/.claude/settings.json` double every
event, every subagent row and every token figure. `stripLegacyHooks` has always
removed them — but only inside `bootstrap()`, which `fastPathOk` skips on
exactly the healthy installs where nothing else forces a full pass, so they
survived indefinitely. `hasLegacyHooks` (pure fs) now blocks the fast path.
A one-time repair at the first start after upgrading (`user_version` 3) deletes
the duplicated `TurnDuration` rows and re-parses every transcript with exact
writes. Marker 3 and not 2: an install that ran the earlier pass had its
corrected rows re-inflated by whatever old build was still ingesting hooks.
Router: switching a lane's AI Router while a pane is live only half-applies —
Claude Code re-applies `env` to a running session but keeps the model it
resolved at startup, so the old router's model name reaches the new endpoint and
the next prompt fails with "model not found". The apply route reports
`restart_required` / `run_id`, and the picker offers a Restart that respawns the
pane from the lane id alone (replaying the old `--model` would re-create the
mismatch).
Notifications (#29): the two moments Claude is BLOCKED on the user now have
their own switches and default to on — `onAwaitingInput` (a permission prompt or
a question) and `onTurnComplete` (end of turn). Before, the first was unswitchable
and the second hung off a preference that defaults to off, so the one thing a
user walks away from went unannounced. Prefs shape/defaults/storage move to
`client/src/lib/notifPrefs.ts`; Settings and the hook had private copies.
Brand: the sidebar shows the SmartGift wordmark with the AgentHub caption under
it, the collapsed rail shows the mark, and the favicon is vendored to match.
A new **AI Router** tab in Settings, next to Codex, stores named router
endpoints (9Router, OpenRouter, a self-hosted gateway) as profiles: a base
URL, an API key, a default model and an optional per-tier override. The tab
only stores them; a lane CHOOSES one in the Add-lane modal, via a Native /
AI Router radio, and that choice is written into the lane's own config.
The two CLIs are configured differently, and the difference is theirs:
- a claude lane gets eight `env` keys merged into its own
`.claude/settings.local.json` (`.local` because the value holds a key);
- a codex lane gets `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` — the layer
`codex -p <name>` loads — because Codex has NO project-level config.
Its base `config.toml` is never touched.
Native is a built-in profile rather than a code branch, so "go back to
native" is the same write path. It blanks the two connection variables
instead of removing them (an absent key at project scope lets a USER-level
router apply) and removes the model names instead of writing them (writing
them would override the user's own global model choice).
Key material never leaves the server: profiles live one file each under
`<CLAUDE_HOME>/agenthub-routers/` (0700/0600), `GET /api/ai-routers`
reports only `hasKey`, and there is deliberately no route returning one
profile in full.
Three things this had to get right, each found by review and verified
against the real tools rather than assumed:
- `wire_api = "chat"` is rejected outright by codex-cli 0.149 ("no longer
supported"), so every codex lane on a router would have failed to start.
The layer writes "responses", and writes `env_key` only when the profile
actually has a key — naming an unset variable is itself a startup error.
- The key must never be TYPED into a pane. `tmux.sendCommand` used
`send-keys` with a `KEY='…' cmd` prefix, which the dashboard streams to
every attached browser and bash appends to history; it now takes over the
idle pane with `respawn-pane -k -e`, passing env through argv the way
`newSession` always has. Verified on tmux 3.4: multi-element argv arrives
intact and the pane renders no trace of the value.
- Attaching COPIES a profile, so editing or deleting one in Settings has to
reach the lanes already using it. An edit re-applies it (a rotated key
would otherwise never reach the lane still holding the revoked one); a
delete resets those lanes to native and removes the Codex layer file.
Both report per-lane failures, which the tab surfaces.
`.claude/settings.local.json` is added to the lane's git exclude, for both
native and router lanes: `agenthub lanes reset` runs `git clean -fd` without
`-x`, so an un-excluded settings file is deleted on reset — and untracked
meant the key was committable.
DB: `lanes.router_profile`, nullable, additive. Written only by
`setRouterProfile` beside the disk write, never through `PATCHABLE`.
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 codex lane's declared stage has always depended entirely on the session
reading AGENTS.md and calling `ccam stage` on its own — no hook, no wrapper,
no enforcement. Two additions make that more reliable without touching the
declared-wins / inferred-never-done invariants:
- LaneConsolePane pre-fills a codex pane's opening prompt with a plain-text
stage-declaration checklist built from the lane's own pipeline_nodes —
the same up-front priming a Claude lane gets from its pre-filled
/ccam:ship-feature-lane skill command, just as prose since Codex has no
slash commands.
- server/lib/codex-nudge.js sweeps every 60s and types a one-line reminder
into a lane's live tmux pane (tmux.sendText, a new literal-text primitive
alongside sendCommand) when its fresh detected_stage has sat undeclared
for over two minutes. It never writes stage/detected_stage itself — any
resulting declaration is still the codex session's own real ccam stage
call, just server-prompted instead of relying on memory alone.
server 1354/1354, client 449/449, tsc clean.
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).
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).
- Docs: README, INSTALL, SETUP, ARCHITECTURE, CLAUDE.md, docs/PLUGINS.md,
docs/MCP.md, docs/CLI.md, docs/HOOKS.md.

Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard.
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,
and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.
