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.
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).

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.
