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.

Codex Project Instructions
Project intent
- Keep this repository a stable, local-first Claude Code monitoring platform.
- Maintain correctness across hooks, API, DB, websocket, and UI.
Priorities
- Correctness over cleverness.
- Small, scoped, reversible diffs.
- Preserve existing behavior unless change is requested.
- Update docs whenever workflow or architecture changes — follow
skills/update-project-docs/automatically at the end of every change-set (README + VN/CN/KO mirrors, ARCHITECTURE, wiki + i18n + cache bump, server/client READMEs, docs/*). - Every applicable source file you create or update (
.js/.ts/.tsx/.cjs/.mjs/.py/.sh/.css) must start with the authorship header: a truthful file overview plus the exact line@author Nguyễn Ngọc Trí Vĩ <vinnt@smartgift.vn>. Seeskills/file-headers/and.claude/rules/file-headers.md; verify withbash skills/file-headers/scripts/check-headers.sh.
Declare your lane stage as you work
This repository is watched by AgentHub, its own dashboard. A lane is keyed by working directory, and the pipeline map only moves forward when the agent doing the work declares its stage:
agenthub stage <stage> --tool codex --evidence "<what is actually done>"
- Call it at every real transition — starting to plan, starting to implement, running tests, opening the PR — not once at the end.
- Stage names,
defaulttemplate:intake → plan → implement → tests → review → gate → ship → done(the 16-nodeship-featuretemplate accepts these as aliases too;agenthub stagewarns on stderr and names the valid nodes if a stage matches none). --tool codexmatters. One directory can back both aclaudelane and acodexlane, and without a tool the command fails rather than guess (it names both candidates). Inside a pane the dashboard started you need nothing — that pane carriesAGENTHUB_LANE_ID, which outranks everything but--lane.- If
agenthub stagereports that no lane owns the directory, this checkout was never adopted: skip the stage calls and carry on. Stage reporting is reporting, never control flow — a failedagenthub stagenever justifies skipping a step of the actual work.
The dashboard also infers your stage from your tool calls (it reads Codex's
own rollout journals — see docs/LANES.md#stage-detection), and on a codex lane
that inference does move the pipeline map forward on its own. It still never
counts as evidence: a node it moved through stays amber and never renders
green. Only your own declaration does that — which is why the call above is
worth making even when the map already looks right.
If you hold a stage for a while with no evidence recorded, the dashboard may
type a one-line [agenthub] reminder straight into this pane asking you to run
agenthub stage ... --evidence "...". That is the dashboard, not the user — treat
it as the same instruction as this section and just make the real call.

Validation expectations
- Backend changes: run
npm run test:serverwhen possible. - Frontend changes: run
npm run test:clientwhen possible. - If any check is skipped, report it explicitly.
Safety expectations
- Keep destructive capabilities behind explicit configuration gates.
- Never broaden destructive behavior without explicit user request.
- Treat hook execution path as fail-safe and non-blocking.
Useful commands
- Setup:
npm run setup - Dev:
npm run dev - Build/start:
