After the 1.5.2 -> 1.5.3 self-update the server ran 1.5.3 while the dashboard
still served the 1.5.2 UI. The client build had failed, and `runtime/client-dist`
still held the previous version's bundle, so nothing looked broken — the only
signal was the Settings page's "UI build v1.5.2 (rebuild client to match)".
Cause: the whole client build toolchain (vite, typescript,
@vitejs/plugin-react, tailwindcss, @types/*) is a devDependency, and npm reads
NODE_ENV=production as --omit=dev (`NODE_ENV=production npm config get omit` ->
`dev`). The dashboard server runs with NODE_ENV=production, and every bootstrap
descended from it inherits that: the plugin-update chain, and any SessionStart
fired by a `claude` running in a tmux pane the server started. So `npm ci`
dropped vite, `tsc -b` died on missing type declarations, and buildClient
returned "failed" with the stale bundle left in place.
`--include=dev` on both install paths — a CLI flag outranks the env, which is
the point. Verified by running buildClient with NODE_ENV=production against the
installed plugin root: previously "failed", now "built", and the served bundle
carries 1.5.3.
Also: plugin-update-helper writes its verdict BEFORE the bootstrap handover as
well as after. That step retires the process tree the helper hangs off, and the
observed run reached the new server with no verdict file at all — the dashboard
reported `last_plugin_update: null` for an update that had actually succeeded.
The plugins tab could already update one plugin or one marketplace at a time. It gains an install-wide batch and, separately, the reload step that actually makes an update take effect.
Update all runs in a DETACHED worker rather than the request handler, for a structural reason: the batch ends with the plugin the dashboard ITSELF runs from, and that step's plugin-bootstrap.js --force SIGTERMs this very server. An in-process loop would die partway through with the remaining plugins unrun and nothing left to report. Order is marketplaces (one call, no name = all) -> every other installed plugin -> AgentHub last -> one reload. Each transition is journalled to cc-update-all.json in the runtime dir, outside the plugin cache the update replaces, so whichever server is alive serves progress from it; the POST's response is only an acknowledgement.
readUpdateAll DERIVES an abandoned status for a running journal older than an hour, because a detached worker killed by a reboot leaves nobody to write the terminal entry and the button would stay wedged forever. isRunning gates a concurrent batch: two claude plugin update chains over one config dir race.
Reload is its own capability (server/lib/cc-reload.js, POST /api/cc-config/reload). /reload-plugins and /reload-skills are scoped BY CLAUDE CODE to the session that runs them, so nothing can reload a session from outside - typing into a session already running is the only real mechanism, and that is what this does, over tmux send-keys into the dashboard's live lane panes. It spawns NO claude process on purpose: a one-shot claude -p "/reload-plugins" would reload only its own short-lived session, exit, and leave a junk session in the dashboard's history - a headless run gets a full sessions row and there is no filter anywhere to suppress it. Reusing live panes means no session is created at all. Panes at a shell prompt are skipped (the text would run as a shell command) and only claude lanes are addressed, since Codex has no such command.
Update-all reloads once at the end; updating a single plugin passes reload:true and reloads immediately, and never after a failed action.
Fixes a real pre-existing bug on the way: pluginUpdate omitted -y while runClaude closes stdin, and the CLI requires it whenever stdin is not a TTY - so the per-plugin Update button failed for any plugin whose marketplace declares an install command. Also completes CcConfigChangedPayload's action union, which claimed write|delete while nine other values were already being emitted.
Verified: server 1683/1683, client 486/486 (27 new tests), build, prettier, file-header audit, openapi.yaml regenerated (117 paths). Update all was NOT executed against this machine - it would update 7 real plugins and restart the running dashboard.
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.
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.
npm install reuses whatever the cache and an earlier run left behind and still
reports success, so a truncated cache entry produced a node_modules that was
missing typescript's lib/*.d.ts — the build then died with TS2318, every global
type undefined. npm ci starts from an empty tree and verifies each tarball
against the lockfile's integrity hash. Falls back to install when the copied
client has no usable lockfile.
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).
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.
systemd --user units start with systemd's own minimal PATH, not the
installer's shell PATH, so the dashboard couldn't find claude/codex
(e.g. installed under ~/.local/bin) when spawning a lane from a
service-managed server. Forward process.env.PATH into the unit's
environment from both ccam service install and the plugin bootstrap's
auto-install path.
Adds ccam service install/uninstall/status for checkout installs and wires
the same systemd --user unit into plugin-bootstrap.js, so plugin-installed
colleagues get boot persistence too instead of needing a Claude Code
session to (re)start the server after every reboot.
c017f6d made /ccam-open call bootstrap() when the live server belongs to a
retired plugin root, which closed a require cycle that had never been closed
before: bootstrap() lazily requires plugin-open back for buildClient, and when
plugin-open is itself the entry point that require resolves to whatever sits on
its module.exports at that instant. The assignment was the last statement in the
file, below the entry block, so it was still empty and /ccam-open died with
"TypeError: buildClient is not a function" before building anything.
Move the assignment above the entry block. The test asserts that ordering
directly — it fails against the previous layout — alongside a check that the
module a re-entrant bootstrap sees really does carry buildClient.
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.
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.
Full rename across files, identifiers, CSS classes, and user-facing strings
(en/vi locales, ARCHITECTURE.md). Replaces the hand-drawn animated cat
avatar with the pig-superhero mascot artwork, split into parts to keep
per-eye cursor tracking and blink animation working; whole-mascot mood
transforms (breathe/bob/shake/tilt) and new zzz/bang/sparkle overlays
carry the rest of the mood expression since the traced art has no shared
palette to key off of.
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.
Deletes desktop/ (Electron wrapper), deployments/ (Helm/Kustomize/
Terraform/CI for cloud deploy), and monitoring/ (Prometheus + Grafana
stack) along with DESKTOP.md, DEPLOYMENT.md, docker-compose.full.yml,
their npm scripts, and every dangling reference across README,
ARCHITECTURE, INSTALL, SETUP, docs/, and the repeated per-file
MODULE_GUIDE "Observability" boilerplate comment. The GET /api/metrics
endpoint itself is untouched — it's the dashboard's own route, not
part of the removed monitoring stack.
claude plugin install materializes the plugin's inline hooks into
~/.claude/settings.json itself, with \${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} resolved to the
actual cache path — confirmed by installing the plugin for real and
inspecting the file. Those entries also contain "hook-handler.js", so
isOurEntry()'s plain substring match could not tell a legitimate
plugin-installed hook from a leftover npm run install-hooks entry: every
SessionStart would have stripped the plugin's own working hooks right back
out. isCheckoutHookEntry() only removes entries whose command does NOT
resolve under ~/.claude/plugins/cache/. plugin-doctor.js's duplicate-hook
count uses the same predicate.
resolveAllDashboardPorts() falls back to [DEFAULT_PORT] when the discovery
file has no live entry — a reasonable guess for the CLI/hook handler, but
wrong for the bootstrap's own liveness check: with no server running at all,
the bootstrap believed one was already up and never called startDashboard(),
confirmed against a real plugin install where the dashboard never started.
plugin-doctor.js's "Server" row had the same bug. Both now read the discovery
file directly and check PID liveness via the new liveServers() (livePids()
reused it instead of duplicating the read).
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).

Adds a working Dark/Light toggle (next to the language switcher, same row
as EN/VI) and re-themes the whole dashboard, not just the handful of
components that already used semantic tokens.
- Tailwind darkMode:"class" + CSS-variable color tokens (client/src/index.css,
tailwind.config.js): surface.0-5, border/border-light, accent/accent-hover,
fg.primary/secondary/muted, status.success/danger/warning. One class flip
on <html> re-themes everything — no per-element dark: variant pairs.
- useTheme() hook: localStorage-persisted, defaults to dark, no
prefers-color-scheme fallback (client/src/hooks/useTheme.ts).
- Mechanical, table-driven migration (scripts/migrate-color-tokens.mjs,
scripts/tokenize-status-colors.mjs, scripts/darken-status-colors.mjs) of
every raw neutral/gray/slate + emerald/red/amber Tailwind utility across
client/src onto the new tokens, so every badge/button/component pulls the
same shade per status/role instead of each picking its own.
- Palette values are the literal Radix Colors (radix-ui.com/colors) scale
constants — slate/blue/green/red/amber steps 1-12 — adopted after three
rounds of hand-picked values that kept overshooting (flat, then too dark,
then glaring); see docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-31-color-redesign-
dark-light-mode-design.md for the full history and role mapping.
- PipelineMap: done/current/failed/passed-no-evidence/detected share one
visual language (border + text + translucent wash of the same status
color); `current` alone stays a solid accent fill, the one state that
gets to look bolder ("you are here").
- LaneCard: removed the stage/kind/auto-stage chips that duplicated the
Workspace lane-detail header already showing them.
Categorical/decorative hues (violet, indigo, cyan, teal, sky, rose, pink,
orange, yellow, and blue where it plays a role-coloring part e.g. message
bubbles) are deliberately out of scope — collapsing those onto shared
tokens would erase the distinction between different kinds of thing, not
a status.
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.
