+ccam ship-full "add an export button" --print   # show the command, switch nothing, run nothing

+
+The lane is resolved from the working directory, so no id is needed (pass one to target another lane). Each command puts the lane on its own template *before* spawning, so the dashboard renders the right node count from the first stage rather than after the skill self-corrects; `--print` switches nothing. The requirement is handed to `claude` as ONE argv element — never through a shell — so quotes, `$` and `;` in it are text. A template with no `skill` field makes the command refuse rather than guess.
+
+**The template also decides what the Workspace run console pre-fills.** A template may name the slash command that drives it — `"skill": "/ccam:ship-feature-lane"` on the 16-node `ship-feature` template, `"skill": "/ccam:ship-feature"` on the 8-node `default` one. That string rides along on every lane payload as `pipeline_skill`, and the run console starts its prompt box with it (plus a trailing space) so you only type the requirement: pick the 16-node template and Run starts the 16-step skill, pick the 8-node one and it starts the 8-step skill. The dashboard never executes it — it is text in a prompt box, exactly as if you had typed it. A prompt you have already edited is never overwritten by a later template switch, and a template with no `skill` field pre-fills nothing.
+
 Switching re-resolves the lane's existing declared `stage` against the new node list. A stage the old template knew may resolve to nothing in the new one; the switch warns when that happens (both CLI and UI), and the next `ccam stage` fixes it.

+# `ccam ci status` Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add `ccam lanes ci status <branch-or-sha>` — a one-shot GitHub Actions status snapshot backed by a new server route — and wire it into `ship-feature-lane` Stage 13 so the CI-wait half of post-merge verification stops being hardcoded-skipped.
+
+**Architecture:** A `server/lib/gh.js` execFile wrapper (mirrors `worktree.js`'s `git()`), a `server/lib/ci-status.js` pure-logic module that turns `gh run list`/`gh run view` output into `{state, ref, checks}`, a thin `GET /:id/ci/status` route (mirrors `GET /:id/git`'s try/available shape), and a thin CLI command (mirrors `cmdLanesIntegration`) that maps the response onto exit codes 0/1/3. No polling, no retry, no flake classification anywhere in this stack — the skill keeps that judgment, per the project's no-orchestration rule.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Node.js (`node:child_process` execFile), Express, `node:test` + `node:assert/strict`, GitHub CLI (`gh`) as the actual data source.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-25-ccam-ci-status-design.md` — read it before starting; every task below implements one section of it.
+- Every new/edited source file needs the repo's copyright header (file overview + `@author Nguyễn Ngọc Trí Vĩ <vinnt@smartgift.vn>`) — see `skills/file-headers/`.
+- No flake auto-classification or auto-rerun logic anywhere in this stack — `state` is a derived fact, nothing more.
+- Route never writes lane `stage`/`status`/`notes` (same boundary every other read-only lane route keeps).
+- `npm run test:server` must pass before this is done.
+- Server tests use real fixtures (a fake `gh` shell script placed on `PATH`), never module mocking — no mocking library exists in this codebase's server tests, follow `stubClaudeBinary` in `server/__tests__/lane-lifecycle.test.js` as the pattern.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: `server/lib/gh.js` — the `gh` execFile wrapper
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `server/lib/gh.js`
+- Test: `server/__tests__/gh.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: `async function gh(cwd, args) => { stdout: string, stderr: string }`. Throws `Error` with `.code` set to `"ENOGH"` when the `gh` binary isn't found on `PATH`, or the process's own exit code otherwise; `.gh = { args, code, stderr }` always set on failure.

+- Modify: `server/__tests__/lanes-api.test.js` — add an HTTP-level describe block.

+- Produces: `GET /api/lanes/:id/ci/status?ref=<branch-or-sha>` → `200 {state, ref, checks}` on success, `400 {error:{code:"EBADREF",...}}` when `ref` is missing, `404` for an unknown lane, `500 {error:{code, message}}` (via `sendRuntimeError`) on a `gh` failure.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Add this block to `server/__tests__/lanes-api.test.js`, after the existing `describe("/api/lanes", ...)` block (same file, so it shares the `request`/`BASE`/`path`/`os` helpers already defined there — only `fs` needs adding to that file's top-of-file requires):

+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `GET /api/lanes/:id/ci/status?ref=...` from Task 3; `resolveLaneArg`, `get`, `c` (chalk-like color helper already used elsewhere in `bin/ccam.js`).
+- Produces: `ccam lanes ci status <branch-or-sha> [<lane-id>]` — prints the JSON response to stdout, sets `process.exitCode` to `0` (success), `1` (failure or any error), or `3` (pending).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Add to `server/__tests__/lanes-cli.test.js`, in a new `describe` block (reusing that file's existing `cli()`, `git()`, `BASE` helpers and `SOURCE_REPO`/`LANE_DIR` fixtures already set up in its `before()`):

+
+`cli()` in this file only takes `(args, cwd)` today — extend its signature to accept an optional third `extraEnv` argument (backward compatible, every existing call site keeps working unchanged):

+- Loop every ~5 minutes, paced by a **backgrounded** wait (same shape as Stage 12): `sleep 300` with `run_in_background: true`. Each iteration, bump the heartbeat and check:
+  - `ccam lanes ci status <mergeSha>` — exit `3` (pending) → keep waiting, background another `sleep 300`, end the turn.
+  - Exit `1` (failure) → triage exactly like Stage 10 (read the failing job via `gh run view <run-id>` — the run id is embedded in each failing check's `url` in the command's JSON output; distinguish real failure from shared-runner flake the same way). A real failure on `development` post-merge is a regression the fix-loop doesn't reach (the PR is already merged) — `ccam stage merged --status blocked --note "<job> red on development after merge — human decision"` and STOP; this is not something the pipeline auto-fixes on a shared branch.
+  - Exit `0` (success) → CI-wait passed. Dev-QC (QCing the deployed site) is a separate, not-yet-built integration — `ccam stage merged --status passed --note "CI green on development; dev-QC unavailable (separate task)"` and proceed to Stage 14.
+- If `ccam lanes integration ci_wait` reads off for this profile, skip the loop entirely and go straight to Stage 14 with `--note "ci_wait integration off for this profile"` — the toggle means the profile doesn't want this check, not that the command is unavailable.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update the skill's front-matter description and "Current status" summary**
+
+In `skills/ship-feature-lane/SKILL.md`, the YAML front-matter `description` field currently ends with:
+> `NOTE: ticket-filing and post-merge dev-site QC are currently OFF (F's integrations aren't built yet) — this pipeline stops at Stage 14 once dev CI/dev-QC support lands.`
+
+Change to:
+> `NOTE: ticket-filing (Stage 9) and post-merge dev-site QC (Stage 13's second half) are currently OFF (F's integrations aren't built yet) — Stage 13's CI-wait half now runs via ccam lanes ci status.`
+
+Find the "Current status" bullet list (`**Stages currently hardcoded skipped**`) and change the Stage 13 line from:
+> `**13 (Post-merge verification)**: Dev-CI-wait and dev-QC integrations are off — the stage transitions immediately to `done` with a note explaining the gap.`
+
+to a line under a renamed heading that separates the two:
+
+```markdown
+**Stages currently hardcoded skipped** (pending F's integrations):
+- **9 (Ticket)**: Ticket-filing integration not yet built — this stage is skipped entirely.
+
+**Partially wired:**
+- **13 (Post-merge verification)**: CI-wait half now runs for real via `ccam lanes ci status`. The dev-QC half (QCing the deployed site) is still unavailable — Stage 13 always ends noting that gap even when CI-wait passes clean.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `docs/LANES.md`**
+
+1. In the "Stages currently hardcoded skipped" list (around line 1137-1139), change the Stage 13 bullet to match the SKILL.md wording from Step 2 above (CI-wait works, dev-QC doesn't).
+2. In the `ccam lanes integration` section (around line 1224), change:
+   > `The agents that would act on an enabled toggle (`ticketer`, `dev-qc`) aren't built yet; `ci_wait`'s consumer (`ccam ci`) isn't either. `ship-feature-lane`'s Stage 9/13/10 stay skipped/fallback regardless of what the toggle reads, until those land.`
+
+   to:
+   > `The agent that would act on an enabled `dev_qc` toggle isn't built yet, and neither is a `tracker` ticketer — `ship-feature-lane`'s Stage 9 stays skipped and Stage 13's dev-QC half stays unavailable regardless of what those two toggles read. `ci_wait`'s consumer is `ccam lanes ci status` (added — see the command reference below); Stage 13's CI-wait half now honors it for real.`
+3. Add `ccam lanes ci status` to wherever `docs/LANES.md` lists `ccam lanes` subcommands (same table/section `ccam lanes sync-base`, `ccam lanes integration` etc. already appear in) — one row: `ccam lanes ci status <branch-or-sha> [<id>]` — one-shot GitHub Actions status for a ref (exit 0/1/3), used by Stage 13's CI-wait.
+4. Update the `**`ticketer`, `dev-qc`, and `pr-reviewer`** are not ported yet" line (around line 1198) to drop `ccam ci`/`ci_wait` framing if it's still described there as unbuilt — cross-check by re-reading that paragraph once Step 1-3 are done, since it may already only be about the two agents.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Full verification pass**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:server
+bash skills/file-headers/scripts/check-headers.sh
+```
+
+Both must pass clean — this is the first point every file this plan touched (code and docs) has been checked together.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add skills/ship-feature-lane/SKILL.md docs/LANES.md
+git commit -m "docs(lanes): wire Stage 13 CI-wait to ccam lanes ci status"
+```

+# `ccam ci status` — unblock Stage 13's CI-wait half
+
+**Status:** approved 2026-08-25.
+
+## Problem
+
+`ship-feature-lane`'s Stage 13 (post-merge verification) is hardcoded
+skipped. Two integrations gate it: dev-CI-wait (watch CI on `development`
+after a PR merges, before QCing the deployed site) and dev-QC (QC the
+deployed site). Neither exists yet.
+
+This spec covers only the CI-wait half. `ccam lanes integration ci_wait`
+already exists (`server/lib/lane-profile.js:isIntegrationEnabled`,
+`bin/ccam.js:cmdLanesIntegration`) and reports whether a profile *wants* the
+integration on — but nothing acts on it. `ccam ci` doesn't exist
+(`skills/ship-feature-lane/SKILL.md:167` notes this explicitly at Stage 10,
+where the skill falls back to raw `gh pr checks`/`gh run view`).
+
+Dev-QC (QCing the deployed site) is a separate, later task — out of scope
+here. Stage 13's dev-QC half stays noted as unavailable until that lands.
+
+## Approach
+
+**A read-only status snapshot, not a wait loop.** Per the project's
+orchestration doctrine (`docs/LANES.md` § "Orchestration: what CCAM does NOT
+do" — no chaining, no queue, no retry logic), `ccam ci status` reports a
+fact once; it does not poll, block, or retry. The driving skill owns the
+poll loop and the fix/escalate decision, the same shape Stage 12 already
+uses for watching a PR (`sleep 300` backgrounded, re-invoked per iteration).
+
+This also means `ccam ci status` needs no flake classification. Stage 10
+already does that triage (infra/flake signature vs. real failure) reading
+`gh` output directly — Stage 13 reuses the same triage, now reading this
+command's structured JSON instead of raw `gh`.
+
+**Server-backed, following the `sync-base` pattern**, not a CLI-local `gh`
+spawn. Every existing `ccam` command is a thin HTTP client — no command in
+`bin/ccam.js` spawns a child process directly (`worktree.js`'s `git()`
+helper is the only child-process boundary CCAM has today, always
+server-side). A new `server/lib/gh.js` mirrors that helper:
+
+```js
+async function gh(cwd, args) { /* execFile("gh", args, { cwd }) */ }
+```
+
+New route: `GET /api/lanes/:id/ci/status?ref=<branch-or-sha>`
+
+- Resolves the lane's `cwd` (same lookup every other lane route uses).
+- Runs `gh run list --branch <ref> --json databaseId,conclusion,status,url --limit 1`
+  to find the latest run for that ref, then `gh run view <id> --json jobs`
+  for per-job conclusions. (A `sha` ref: `gh run list` accepts a commit SHA
+  via `--commit`, not `--branch` — the route tries `--branch` first and
+  falls back to `--commit` if the ref doesn't look like a branch name a
+  lane would use, i.e. it's a 7-40 char hex string.)
+- No run found for the ref at all → `state: "pending"` (CI hasn't started
+  yet, not an error).
+- `gh` missing or not authenticated → `{ error: { message } }`, HTTP 500.
+
+New CLI: `ccam lanes ci status <branch-or-sha> [<lane-id>]`
+
+- GETs the route above, prints the JSON, sets `process.exitCode`.
+- Resolves the lane the same way every other `ccam lanes <verb>` command
+  does (`resolveLaneArg`), so it works with an implicit lane-from-cwd or an
+  explicit id, matching `ccam lanes integration`.
+
+## Response shape
+
+```json
+{
+  "state": "success",
+  "ref": "a1b2c3d",
+  "checks": [
+    { "name": "server-tests", "conclusion": "failure", "url": "https://github.com/.../runs/123" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+`state` is derived, never taken from a single field: any job still
+`in_progress`/`queued` → `pending`; else any `failure`/`cancelled`/
+`timed_out` → `failure`; else (`success`/`skipped` only) → `success`.
+
+## Exit codes
+
+CLI mirrors the response into a process exit code, same convention as
+`sync-base`'s distinct exit codes per outcome:
+
+- `0` — `state: "success"`
+- `1` — `state: "failure"`, OR any execution error (`gh` missing, lane not
+  found, route error) — printed as `✖ ci status → <message>` on stderr
+- `3` — `state: "pending"` (covers both "checks running" and "no run found
+  yet for this ref")
+
+## Skill changes
+
+`skills/ship-feature-lane/SKILL.md` Stage 13: replace the hardcoded-skip
+note with a poll loop mirroring Stage 12's:
+
+- Get the merge SHA: `gh pr view <pr_url> --json mergeCommit -q .mergeCommit.oid`.
+- Loop (`sleep 300`, `run_in_background: true`, bump heartbeat each
+  iteration): `ccam lanes ci status <sha>`.
+  - `pending` → keep waiting.
+  - `failure` → triage like Stage 10 (`gh run view` for job logs on the
+    same run id returned in `checks[].url`), fix + re-enter from Stage 2,
+    or escalate.
+  - `success` → dev-QC half is still unavailable (separate task) — note
+    that explicitly and proceed to Stage 14, same as today but now honest
+    that CI-wait specifically passed.
+- Update `docs/LANES.md`: the "Stages currently hardcoded skipped" list
+  (Stage 13 becomes "CI-wait works; dev-QC still off"), the
+  `ccam lanes integration` section's claim that `ci_wait`'s consumer isn't
+  built, and add `ccam ci status` to the command reference.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No flake auto-classification or auto-rerun inside `ccam ci status` —
+  stays a dumb fact-reporter; the skill keeps owning that judgment, per
+  CCAM's no-retry-logic rule.
+- No change to Stage 10 (PR CI watch) — it keeps using raw `gh` directly.
+  Reusing this command there is a plausible future cleanup, not required
+  now.
+- No dev-QC implementation — separate task, tracked independently.
+
+## Testing
+
+- `server/tests` — new test for the `/api/lanes/:id/ci/status` route,
+  mocking `execFile`/`gh` output for: pending (no run yet), pending
+  (in-progress run), success, failure, and `gh`-not-found — pattern after
+  the existing `sync-base` route tests.
+- `npm run test:server` before considering this done.
