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,
and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.
