Two defects that made the 16-node ship-feature pipeline look like stage
detection was broken:
- stage-detect matched each rule against a JOIN of the tool input's
identifying fields. An Agent event really carries description + prompt +
subagent_type, so `^Explore$` (intake) and `^Plan$` (plan) could never
fire and both nodes shipped inert — the map jumped straight to
`implementing`. Rules are now tested one field at a time, which also
stops a rule matching across the seam between two unrelated fields.
- `detectionLeadsDeclaration` (bin/ccam.js) and `detectionLeads`
(LaneStripCard.tsx) located the declaration with `indexOf(lane.stage)`.
Most of what the skill declares is an ALIAS (`tests`, `booting`, `ship`,
`gate-blocked`), which is not a node id, so indexOf answered -1 and every
detection — however far behind — was badged as leading. Both now use the
node the server already resolved it onto (`state === "current"`).
server 1346/1346, client 447/447.
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).
A pipeline template may now declare the slash command that drives it
(`skill`), so the choice of pipeline is the choice of workflow rather
than just a picture on the dashboard:
- `ccam ship-full "<req>"` runs the 16-node `ship-feature` template's
skill (`/ccam:ship-feature-lane`) — through gates, QC and the senior
gate to a published PR, watched until a human merges it.
- `ccam ship-quick "<req>"` runs the 8-node `default` template's skill
(`/ccam:ship-feature`) — in-repo feature work that stops at the gate.
Each command puts the lane on its own template before spawning, so the
dashboard renders the right node count from the first stage instead of
after the skill self-corrects. `--print` shows the command, switches
nothing and runs nothing. The prompt reaches `claude` as one argv
element, never through a shell.
The same field feeds the Workspace run console, which pre-fills its
prompt with the lane's driving skill and never overwrites a prompt the
user has already edited.
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.
A lane's pipeline map only ever moved when a skill remembered to call
`ccam stage`, and the ship-feature template shipped with no detection rules
at all — so a lane driven by Superpowers skills sat at whatever stage it
last declared, and the `gates` node was never declared by anything.
Detection (`detect` rules on each node) now covers the Superpowers skill
invocations and the `ccam`/`gh` commands the ship-feature-lane skill
actually runs. It stays a safety net, not the mechanism: forward-only,
never `done`, never overriding a declaration. Two rules were deliberately
left out — `git diff` on `review` (this repo's own tests record it pinning
a lane at `review` on a real session) and anything on `merged`/`done`.
Stage vocabulary grows to 50 names over the same 16 nodes, following
Shipyard's PHASES shape: sub-states like `migration-collision`,
`e2e-scoped` and `gate-blocked` say WHY a lane sits on a node without the
map growing a node per reason. Every alias has a source — the skill
declares it, `default.json` uses it, or Shipyard's PHASES lists it.
Two silent failures fixed along the way:
- `lane.stages` is keyed by the raw declared string, so a stage declared
under an alias lost its `--evidence` and rendered amber instead of
green. `stageRecords` resolves each key onto its node.
- `ccam stage <typo>` stored fine and then rendered nowhere. It now warns
on stderr while still exiting 0.
`ccam lanes pipeline` closes the gap that made all of this invisible: a
lane could only be assigned a template at creation, and no screen in the
web UI offers the choice, so every lane added from "+ Add lane" was stuck
on `default`'s 8 nodes. An unknown template id is now refused rather than
silently falling back to `default` on read.
Also merges the repo's own `ship-feature` skill into the Superpowers
workflow: it delegates planning/TDD/review/verification instead of
restating them, and declares a stage at each phase.
Ports the two pieces of Shipyard's lane-gc.sh that match CCAM's actual
architecture: kill Playwright MCP processes reparented to pid 1 (owning
session died), cap hook logs over 10MB back to their last 2MB in place.
Drops auto-removing stale worktrees by age (conflicts with the
never-automatic-destroy rule), state archiving, and scratch-debris
sweep (different storage architecture / files CCAM doesn't generate) —

Copies .claude/skills/ship-feature-lane/ into ~/.claude/skills/, so
/ship-feature-lane is discoverable from a session running inside any
lane's own working directory — not just inside this repo, which is
where it lived until now (Claude Code only auto-discovers .claude/
directories from the repo that owns them). Pure filesystem action,
same self-location REPO_ROOT already gives lanes profile init.
Help text for "lanes up|down" implied --no-build applied to both;
it's only read by up. Also commits the A3 profile-scaffolding design
spec and implementation plan that weren't yet in git.
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.
