Copy-only rename (workspace redesign, phase 0). The word a user reads
changes — "Lane" → "Workspace", "Add lane" → "Add workspace" — in both
locales, in agenthub CLI prose and help, in the server's error messages
and in the docs. Every identifier stays: /api/lanes, `agenthub lanes`,
--lane, AGENTHUB_LANE_ID, error codes, tmux names, DB tables, file,
component and i18n key names. docs/LANES.md keeps its name, retitled
"Workspaces (lanes)".
The plugin stops shipping its workflow layer:
- skills/ship-feature and skills/ship-feature-lane, the 18 stage/ship slash
commands (plugin.json keeps agenthub-doctor/update/open), and all four
agents/ (qc-local, senior-gate-reviewer, backend-reviewer, frontend-reviewer).
- CLI `agenthub skills install`, `agenthub lanes agents install`,
`agenthub ship-full|ship-quick`; routes POST /api/skills/install and
POST /api/lanes/:id/agents/install; the Settings button, the lane Tools
menu item and the Add-lane setup step that called them.
- The Superpowers auto-install: server/lib/skill-plugins.js, the bootstrap's
autoInstallSkillPlugins / skillPluginsSettled gate and the doctor row.
Pipelines are kept but dormant: server/data/pipelines/ is deleted, so no
template ships. `default` resolves to EMPTY_PIPELINE (no nodes, progress 0),
createLane still accepts it, POST /api/lanes/:id/stage answers 400
ENOPIPELINE, and the Workspace hides the stage timer, pickers, PipelineMap
and strip stage chip for a lane with no nodes. A template dropped into
DASHBOARD_PIPELINES_DIR turns it all back on. The server suite loads its
templates from server/__tests__/fixtures/pipelines/.
Docs: CLAUDE.md (marker, retired rules), README(.vi), INSTALL, ARCHITECTURE,

An older Claude Code has no -y on `plugin install|update` and exits with
"error: unknown option '-y'", so the dashboard's Update now chain failed at
its plugin_update step (and so did Update all, the plugin buttons and the
superpowers auto-install). Those versions also predate the confirmation
prompt -y answers, so every wrapper now retries the same argv without it
when, and only when, the CLI rejects the flag. /agenthub-update, which the
failure message points users to, falls back the same way.
The residue an interrupted update leaves behind is invisible: the server
runs, every doctor row reads OK, and the unit quietly still names a cache
directory Claude Code deleted during the update. Nothing surfaces it until
a reboot, when the dashboard does not come back and nothing recorded why.
- fastPathOk now rejects a stale unit, so the next SessionStart repairs it
instead of short-circuiting. `unitIsStale` is pure fs on purpose: that
path runs on every session and may not spawn a process.
- Repairing the unit is not restarting the server. A current, healthy
server keeps running and the corrected unit takes effect at the next
start (`pendingSystemdRestart = systemdOwned && needsServer`), and the
detached-spawn fallback is guarded by needsServer so a stale unit alone
cannot start a second server onto a bound port.
- systemdOwned now also requires the unit to be ACTIVE. Installed-but-
stopped owns nothing: skipping the stop there and asking systemd to start
would bind an occupied port and crash-loop under Restart=always.
- /agenthub-doctor gains a systemd row naming the consequence ("will NOT
come back after a reboot") and the fix. WARN, never FAIL — the dashboard
in front of you works, and having no unit at all is a normal setup.
The fast-path test pins the regression against an otherwise fully healthy
install, live server included; without a live server it would have passed
against the unfixed code either way.
The READMEs never said tmux was needed, so a fresh install only found out
when Start Run failed with nothing explaining why. Both doctors were silent
about it too.
- README/README.vi: a prerequisites table (node, npm, git, tmux, claude,
codex, gh, systemd) and per-OS tmux install + verify steps; the feature
list is regrouped into observe/drive/configure and now covers analytics,
alerts, import, remote sources, the config explorer and Update all.
- INSTALL: Step 0 for the system packages, plus a troubleshooting entry
separating "tmux missing" from "the server has a different PATH".
- SETUP/docs/README: the same troubleshooting entry and a pointer to Step 0.
- plugin-doctor: a tmux row, WARN and never FAIL - the run console and
`lanes shell` break without it, nothing else does. Reuses tmux.js's own
isTmuxAvailable().
- agenthub doctor: asks GET /api/run/tmux instead, because the PATH that
decides whether a run starts is the server's, not the caller's shell's.
The ten `agenthub-*` plugins were listed by the marketplace but could never be
installed — two schema mistakes present since the entries were first authored
(57dc915), both invisible until you actually run `claude plugin install`:
- marketplace entries used `"path": "plugins/<name>"`; the CLI only accepts
`"source"`, so every one failed with
`This plugin's marketplace entry is invalid: source: Invalid input`
- each `plugin.json` carried npm's `"repository": { "type", "url" }` object;
the schema wants a plain string, so the next attempt failed with
`Validation errors: repository: Invalid input`
Verified by installing all 11 entries into a throwaway CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:
1/11 before, 11/11 after. `plugins-marketplace.test.js` was asserting the
broken shape, which is why CI stayed green — it now asserts `source` and
rejects `path`.
Marketplace renamed `claude-code-agent-monitor-plugins` -> `agenthub`, so the
install line is `agenthub@agenthub`. ARCHITECTURE.md documented a marketplace
name (`smartgift-claude-code-monitor`) that never existed in any revision.
The documented `/plugin marketplace add Smartgift-AI/Claude-Code-Monitor` also
never worked: the `owner/repo` shorthand resolves to github.com only, and this
repo is self-hosted on Gitea. Confirmed the CLI rejects `host/owner/repo` and
ignores GH_HOST / GITHUB_HOST / CLAUDE_CODE_MARKETPLACE_URL, so the full
https:// clone URL is the only supported form. Same GitHub-habit class fixed
elsewhere: raw.githubusercontent.com icon URLs (404, and the repo ships
favicon.svg not favicon.ico — the client had the same dead /favicon.ico),
a smartgift.github.io docs link (404), and Gitea `/blob/<ref>/` paths that
must be `/src/branch/<ref>/`.
Repository renamed to Smartgift-AI/AgentHub throughout. Gitea 301-redirects
the old name, so these were stale rather than broken; `docs/superpowers/`
keeps the old name because those are dated decision records.
Adds `repo-links.test.js` to guard both classes (it runs under the existing
pre-commit gate) plus an openapi.yaml drift check — the committed spec had
silently fallen a minor version behind package.json. `generate-openapi-yaml.js`
now exports `render()` so the test compares against one definition of the dump
options instead of a second copy.
Runtime deps checked that node_modules existed, which is true of the broken
tree too — it now verifies every declared dependency landed. Dashboard UI
quotes the last client-build.log error instead of repeating the build command,
and npm and free disk get their own rows: both truncate installs silently.
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 ship-feature pipelines have always depended on the `superpowers`
plugin — skills/ship-feature/SKILL.md calls its skills by name, and the
node detect rules match `Skill` events named `brainstorming`,
`writing-plans`, `test-driven-development` — but no README, INSTALL,
manifest or SKILL.md said so, and /ccam-doctor did not check. Install the
`ccam` plugin without it and `/ccam:ship-feature-lane` runs partway, then
fails at the first skill call with no warning beforehand.
/ccam-doctor now derives the requirement from the loaded pipeline
templates rather than a hardcoded list: every `/plugin:skill` a template
names, as its own `skill` or as one node's `command`, has to come from an
installed and enabled plugin. Editing a template cannot leave the check
behind, and a custom template in DASHBOARD_PIPELINES_DIR naming some
other plugin is covered for free.
Three deliberate calls:
- WARN, never FAIL. The dashboard, hooks, CLI and MCP all work without
it; failing a doctor run over it would cry wolf.
- A plugin present but explicitly disabled counts as missing — Claude
Code will not resolve its skills either way.
- The skills sitting in ~/.claude/skills/ count as satisfied. That is a
legitimate hand-copied setup, and calling it broken is how a warning
row teaches its reader to ignore it.
Docs state the prerequisite where someone installing would look: README
and INSTALL requirements, plus docs/PLUGINS.md for how the row decides.
The install line is `superpowers@claude-plugins-official`, verified
present in that marketplace's manifest.
Verified: npm run test:server (1379, +6 covering all three calls above
plus the partially-satisfied case), npm run test:client (459), prettier
and check-headers clean. `node scripts/plugin-doctor.js` here reports
`OK Skill plugins superpowers available`; the WARN branches were checked
against a temp CLAUDE_HOME.
A plugin update applied mid-session (/plugin followed by /reload-plugins)
fires no SessionStart, so the bootstrap's version handover never runs and the
dashboard server keeps executing a cache directory Claude Code has already
discarded. /ccam-open then rebuilt the bundle from the new root against that
old server, and the new bundle called routes the old server never had:
/api/lanes/pipeline-stats fell through to /:id and rendered "lane not found",
/api/workflows/skill-usage fell through to the SPA catch-all and broke
JSON.parse on the returned HTML. Both Workflows panels showed an error while
the code they needed was sitting on disk.
plugin-open now re-runs bootstrap when the live server's recorded pluginRoot
differs from the current one, or when no server is live at all. Bootstrap
already owns the stop/start and the dependency install the new root may need,
so this only restores the trigger that a mid-session update skips.
Docs and the command's own instructions previously implied /ccam-update
fetches new code; it only reinstalled deps and restarted the server
against whatever version was already resolved. It now also runs
`claude plugin marketplace update` + `claude plugin update ccam@<mp> -y`
first, and says plainly that /reload-plugins is still a manual step
(no CLI/script equivalent exists to apply it automatically).
/ccam-open built only when client/dist was missing, so a stale bundle
silently outlived code fixes (seen 2026-08-13: fix b0bfc66 wasn't served
until a --force rebuild). Pass --force unconditionally.
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.
