No additional clarification was sought before drafting — the deliverables, scope boundaries, and "why a SPIR (not separate protocols)" rationale are explicit in the issue body. + +## Problem Statement + +After #786 ships, the multi-architect feature has: + +- a clean **lifecycle** (add, remove, persist across stop/start), +- correct **routing** (builder→architect lands on the spawning sibling), +- coherent **surface enumeration** (`afx status`, VSCode tree, dashboard tab strip). + +But four coordination gaps remain that an external adopter (Shannon, the only concrete N>1-architect user today) hits within their first session: + +1. **Builder attribution is invisible at the dashboard.** A user looking at the Work view sees a flat list of builders. They cannot tell which architect spawned which builder — even though that information is the basis of the routing primitive. With one architect, the question is meaningless; with two or more, it's the single most-asked question in a multi-architect cohort. +2. **Messaging primitives are undocumented.** Code supports `afx send architect:`, builder→architect routing via affinity, architect→sibling-architect messaging, and `` addressing — but `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` / `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md` don't surface any of them. Users discover the primitives empirically (or don't), and the discoverability cost compounds across each new external adopter. +3. **Builders have no shared, persistent situational-awareness surface.** A cohort of builders working in parallel cannot read each other's state. A builder finishing phase 3 of a refactor cannot signal "I just renamed `X` — anyone touching it should rebase" to a sibling builder. Architects cannot quickly skim "what did builder 0793 do this morning?" without `afx open`ing the terminal and scrolling. There is no per-builder narrative log that's cheap to write and cheap to read. +4. **The VSCode Architects tree is silently stale on add.** When the user runs `afx workspace add-architect ob-refine` from a shell while VSCode is open, the new architect appears in the dashboard's tab strip (dashboard polls), but the VSCode sidebar's Architects tree does NOT refresh until the user manually clicks the sidebar's Refresh button. The remove-architect path refreshes correctly (because `codev.removeArchitect` self-triggers the refresh from within VSCode), but add-architect via the CLI is invisible to VSCode — Tower never emits an SSE event for architect lifecycle changes. + +All four are coordination problems: making the *who-spawned-whom* relationship visible, making the *how to message them* surface honest, giving the cohort a *shared narrative log*, and keeping the *editor surface in sync with the running state*. They cohere as one feature pass. + +## Current State + +### Item 1 — dashboard builder attribution (verified) + +| Aspect | Status | +|---|---| +| `Builder.spawnedByArchitect` field on `agent-farm/types.ts` | ✅ exists (added in #755) | +| `spawned_by_architect` column on `state.db.builders` | ✅ exists (per `state.ts:126`, `:152`) | +| Field populated on every `spawnBuilder` path | ✅ verified (6 call sites in `commands/spawn.ts`: `:460`, `:535`, `:593`, `:618`, `:669`, `:831`) | +| Field exposed on the overview API (`BuilderOverview` type) | ❌ NOT exposed | +| Field exposed on the shared `OverviewBuilder` type (`packages/types/src/api.ts:100`) | ❌ NOT exposed | +| `BuilderCard.tsx` renders it | ❌ NOT rendered | +| Routing uses it correctly (post-#774) | ✅ verified in `tower-messages.ts:275-342` | + +**Proximate cause**: `discoverBuilders()` in `overview.ts:545-700` reads `status.yaml` from the builder's worktree, which does not carry `spawnedByArchitect`. The existing DB enrichment block at `overview.ts:781-797` reads `issue_number` from `state.db.builders` but does not read `spawned_by_architect`. Once the field is added to `BuilderOverview` and the SQL `SELECT` is extended, the field flows all the way through to `OverviewBuilder` on the dashboard side (the two types are kept in sync — see `packages/types/src/api.ts:100-138` vs `packages/codev/src/agent-farm/servers/overview.ts:35-74`). + +### Item 2 — messaging documentation (verified) + +| Primitive | Code support | Documented today | +|---|---|---| +| `afx send "msg"` (architect → builder) | ✅ | ✅ (`agent-farm.md`) | +| `afx send architect "msg"` (architect → main, or builder → spawning architect via affinity) | ✅ (post-#774) | ⚠️ Partial — `agent-farm.md` shows the form but doesn't explain the builder-side affinity-routing behavior | +| `afx send architect: "msg"` (explicit architect addressing) | ✅ | ❌ NOT documented | +| `afx send :architect "msg"` (cross-workspace) | ✅ | ✅ (`agent-farm.md`) | +| Architect → sibling architect messaging (sender = architect bypasses the spoofing check) | ✅ (per #786 spec test scenario #8) | ❌ NOT documented | +| `afx status` lists architects alongside builders | ✅ post-#786 (per #786 spec MUST: "afx status enumerates ALL registered architects") | ❌ NOT documented in the messaging context | + +**The code primitives are complete after #786 lands.** This item is purely a documentation surfacing pass — no new behavior, no new code paths, just making the existing affordances discoverable. + +### Item 3 — per-builder thread state (greenfield) + +| Aspect | Status | +|---|---| +| `codev/state/` directory exists | ❌ does not exist today | +| Builder protocol prompts mention a thread file | ❌ no | +| Builder roles file (`codev/roles/builder.md`) mentions a thread file | ❌ no | +| Architect convention for reading sibling builders' state | ❌ unwritten — architects ad-hoc tail terminals via `afx open` | + +**The issue is explicit about minimalism**: just a location and an instruction.

A dashboard user looking at the Work view with two or more architects in the workspace can immediately tell which architect spawned each builder. The visual treatment is **subtle** (a small inline tag adjacent to the builder ID/title, not a column) so the N=1 dashboard is visually identical to today. +2. A user reading `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, or `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md` discovers the four addressing forms (``, `architect`, `architect:`, `:architect`) and the architect↔sibling-architect messaging behavior, with concrete examples for each. +3. Every builder maintains `codev/state/_thread.md` as a free-text log of phase transitions, decisions, blockers, and anything else worth recording. Architects and sibling builders can read each other's threads via plain file I/O (`cat`, `Read` tool, file browser, `ls codev/state/`). The thread is **markdown**, **free-form**, and **owned by the builder LLM** — no structured schema, no porch hooks. +4. Running `afx workspace add-architect ` from a shell while VSCode is open causes the VSCode Architects tree to refresh within ~1s (the SSE round-trip), with the new architect appearing as a child of the tree without manual user action. Same for remove (already works, must continue working). + +## Stakeholders + +- **Primary Users**: Codev users running two or more architects in a workspace. Currently: the codev maintainer (when driving #786-class follow-ups with sibling architects) and Shannon's external adopter setup (`main` + `ob-refine`). Future external adopters who scale from one architect to several. +- **Secondary Users**: Builders themselves — items 2 and 3 directly affect how a builder LLM discovers messaging primitives and writes its thread. +- **Technical Team**: The codev maintainer (architect). The builder spawned for #823 implements; the architect reviews at spec-approval, plan-approval, and PR gates. +- **Business Owners**: The codev maintainer. #823 closes the last coordination gaps from the multi-architect epic (#755 → #761 → #774 → #786 → **#823**). + +## Constraints + +### Technical +- **#823 depends on #786 for the full deliverable surface.** Specifically: + - Item 2's documentation references `afx status` listing architects — that enumeration is added by #786 (gap #6 in #786's spec). + - Item 4's "refresh on remove" path depends on `codev.removeArchitect` existing in VSCode — added by #786 (phase 6). + - Item 4 must continue to work with #786's remove path; the new SSE event must be emitted from both add and remove call sites. + - PR #822 (for #786) is currently OPEN. **#823's implementation must rebase onto #786 once #786 merges**, or be implemented on a branch that already includes #786's changes. The plan phase must pin which approach. +- **Single-workspace assumption holds.** Cross-workspace coordination is still deferred. +- **Field-naming consistency**: `spawnedByArchitect` (TypeScript) and `spawned_by_architect` (SQL) — pre-existing conventions from #755, do not rename. +- **No new dependencies.** Items 1, 3, 4 are pure-codev changes. Item 2 is pure-markdown. +- **CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md must stay synchronized** — they're identical files per the existing convention (per `CLAUDE.md` line 3: *"An identical AGENTS.md file is also maintained following the AGENTS.md standard..."*). Item 2 must update both atomically in the same commit. +- **Markdown ecosystem only for item 3.** `codev/state/_thread.md` must be readable by any markdown-capable tool (Claude's Read tool, `cat`, GitHub web preview, VSCode editor) without special tooling. + +### Business +- The next coherent release after #786 should ship #823 — closes the multi-architect coordination story. +- No time estimates per SPIR convention. + +### Out of Scope (per issue body, treat as fixed) +- VSCode parity for item 1 (builder attribution in the VSCode Builders tree) — separate follow-up. +- Cross-workspace messaging — still deferred (per #755 and #786). +- Renaming architects after add — separate follow-up. +- Workspace-scoping of `state.db.architect` (Co1 from #786 PR-iter-3) — needs schema migration; deferred until multi-workspace Tower architect routing becomes a goal. +- Structured schema for the thread file (item 3) — explicitly rejected by the issue body ("Trust the LLM"). Trying to add timestamps, headers, or required sections re-creates the very ceremony the issue is rejecting. +- Porch hooks that auto-write the thread (item 3) — same rejection. The thread is the builder's, not porch's. +- Thread-file mirroring to dashboard / VSCode (item 3) — markdown-ecosystem discoverability (file browser, `ls`, `cat`, GitHub web preview) is the discovery story. UI surfacing is a possible follow-up. + +## Baked Decisions + +These items in the issue body are fixed by the architect and not subject to spec-level relitigation: + +1. **Item 1 — N>1 conditional render only.** Builder attribution renders ONLY when `architects.length > 1`. The N=1 dashboard stays visually identical to today. No N=1 attribution rendered "for consistency" or "for future N>1 cases." +2. **Item 1 — dashboard surface only.** VSCode parity for builder attribution is deliberately deferred to a follow-up. +3. **Item 3 — free-text only, no schema.** The thread file is markdown with no required sections, no timestamp format, no enforced structure. The spec pins **location** and the **instruction in the builder protocol prompt** — nothing else. +4. **Item 3 — no porch hooks.** Porch does not write to the thread, does not validate it, does not require it to exist. Builders write it themselves because the protocol prompt instructs them to. +5. **Item 3 — no per-builder thread schema.** Each builder maintains its own `codev/state/_thread.md`. There is no shared cohort file (e.g. `codev/state/cohort.md`). The shared view falls out of `ls codev/state/`. +6. **Item 4 — SSE event mirrors `worktree-config-updated`.** The new event reuses the same emit-on-mutation, subscribe-from-extension shape that the worktree config event already uses. Plan phase pins the exact event name and payload. +7. **Item 4 — Tower-side emit + VSCode subscribe.** Dashboard parity falls out of existing polling. No dashboard code changes needed for item 4; verify only. +8. **Splitting any of the four items into a separate issue is the wrong call.** The issue body is explicit that items 1+2+3+4 cohere as one coordination feature pass. + +## Assumptions + +- After #786 lands, `afx workspace add-architect` writes the new architect to Tower's in-memory map AND to `state.db.architect`, AND the architect appears in subsequent `/state` API responses. (Verified against #786 spec MUSTs.) +- `afx workspace remove-architect` (introduced by #786 phase 4) removes the architect from the in-memory map and `state.db`. (Verified against #786 spec MUSTs.) +- The dashboard `/state` API endpoint includes a per-architect entry whenever a sibling is added. (Verified against `packages/types/src/api.ts:78` and Spec 761's emit shape.) +- The existing `worktree-config-updated` SSE event in Tower is a usable precedent for an `architects-updated` event (similar mutate-on-write semantics, no fan-out throttling needed). +- The builder LLM is competent enough to write a useful free-text thread when instructed in its protocol prompt — same trust assumption already in place for all builder narrative output (commit messages, review docs, lesson-learned write-ups). + +## Solution Approaches + +### Approach 1: All four items in one SPIR PR, ordered Item 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 (RECOMMENDED) + +**Description**: One PR, one branch (rebased onto #786 once it merges, or branched off #786 if #786 is still open at implementation start). Four phases in the plan, one per deliverable, in the order the issue lists them. Each phase commits independently within the single PR. + +**Pros**: +- Matches the issue body's framing ("one coherent multi-architect coordination feature pass"). +- Each phase is independently meaningful and testable (so cmap reviewers can verify each in isolation). +- Documentation (item 2) and thread state (item 3) phases are very small; bundling them in is cheap. +- One verify pass exercises all four deliverables on a real workspace with two architects. + +**Cons**: +- Branch coordination with #786 needs attention — if #786 re-iterates, #823 may need to rebase mid-implementation. +- One large PR touches multiple surfaces (dashboard, types, two markdown files, VSCode extension, Tower SSE) — needs disciplined commit hygiene. + +**Estimated Complexity**: Low-Medium. +**Risk Level**: Low — each individual item is small; #786 already establishes the multi-architect patterns the implementation reuses. + +### Approach 2: Two PRs — (1+2) and (3+4) + +**Description**: Ship items 1 (attribution) and 2 (docs) in one PR — both are dashboard/documentation work with no Tower-side or VSCode-side changes. Ship items 3 (thread state) and 4 (VSCode refresh) in a follow-up PR. + +**Pros**: +- Each PR is smaller and easier to review. +- Item 4's Tower-side SSE event is the most risk-bearing change; isolating it reduces blast radius. + +**Cons**: +- Loses the "one coherent feature pass" framing the issue body insists on. +- Doubles the porch ceremony (two spec phases, two plan phases, two PRs). +- The four items are already small; splitting feels like ceremony-driven over-design. + +**Estimated Complexity**: Low cumulative, but more total porch work. +**Risk Level**: Low. + +### Approach 3: Defer item 1 to its own follow-up, ship 2+3+4 in this SPIR + +**Description**: Item 1 (builder attribution) is the most dashboard-CSS-sensitive item. Defer to a dashboard-focused follow-up where Playwright visual verification is built in. Ship the other three here. + +**Pros**: +- Reduces UI risk for #823. +- Aligns with [[feedback_ui_visual_verification]] — Playwright before approving UI. + +**Cons**: +- Strands the easiest, most user-visible win of the four. +- Item 1 is genuinely small (a span + a CSS class + a type field). Deferring it is over-cautious. + +**Estimated Complexity**: Low. +**Risk Level**: Low. + +**Recommendation**: **Approach 1.** The issue is explicit that these four items cohere; the cost of bundling is small commit-hygiene discipline; the cost of splitting is doubled porch ceremony and lost framing. The item 1 UI risk is real but manageable with one Playwright pass during the verify phase (per [[feedback_ui_visual_verification]]). + +## Open Questions + +### Critical (Blocks Progress) + +None as of draft time. The issue body is unusually well-scoped — most of what would normally be a critical OQ is already resolved as a baked decision above. + +### Important (Affects Design) + +- **OQ-A — Item 1: how does `BuilderCard` learn the architect count?** Two options: + - (a) `BuilderCard` reads `state.architects.length` from a context/prop passed down through `WorkView`. The N>1 conditional render is local to `BuilderCard`. + - (b) `WorkView` computes `architectCount` once and passes it to each `BuilderCard` as a prop. + - **Recommendation**: (b) — single computation, cleaner prop interface, avoids context plumbing. Plan phase confirms. +- **OQ-B — Item 1: what does the "spawned by" tag look like visually?** The issue says "small inline tag." Options: + - (a) A small pill next to the builder ID (`#0042 · ob-refine`). + - (b) A subscript under the builder ID. + - (c) A new column at the right of the table, hidden when `architects.length === 1`. + - **Recommendation**: (a) — minimum DOM change, no column-shift on N=1↔N>1 transition. Plan phase pins the CSS class and HTML structure; verify phase exercises with Playwright at N=1 and N=2. +- **OQ-C — Item 3: which protocol prompts get the thread-instruction?** Two scopes: + - (a) Only the SPIR protocol prompts (`codev/protocols/spir/protocol.md` or its phase prompts). + - (b) All protocols (SPIR, ASPIR, AIR, BUGFIX, PIR, TICK, EXPERIMENT, MAINTAIN, RESEARCH). + - **Recommendation**: (b) — the thread is a builder-level concern, not a protocol-specific one. Add the instruction in `codev/roles/builder.md` so every builder spawn picks it up regardless of protocol. Plan phase confirms by reading `codev/roles/builder.md` and the protocol prompt files. +- **OQ-D — Item 3: should the thread file be created up-front (on spawn) or lazily (first time the builder writes)?** + - (a) Up-front: porch creates an empty `codev/state/_thread.md` at spawn time. (But the issue says "no porch hooks.") + - (b) Lazily: builder LLM creates it on first write via the Write tool. + - **Recommendation**: (b) — honors the "no porch hooks" baked decision. The instruction in the builder role says "you will maintain `codev/state/_thread.md` — create it the first time you write to it." Plan phase confirms. +- **OQ-E — Item 3: how does the builder know its own ``?** The role-level prompt needs to teach the builder how to resolve its own id. Options: + - (a) The builder reads the basename of its worktree (`.builders/`) — already known via cwd. + - (b) Porch sets an env var (`CODEV_BUILDER_ID`) at spawn time. (But the issue says "no porch hooks." A spawn-time env var is borderline — it's a one-shot read, not a per-write hook. But it adds complexity.) + - (c) The instruction in `codev/roles/builder.md` says "your builder id is the basename of your current working directory" — builder runs `basename $(pwd)` once. + - **Recommendation**: (c) — zero porch ceremony, builder reads cwd. Plan phase verifies the worktree path is reliable. +- **OQ-F — Item 4: exact SSE event name and payload.** Options: + - (a) `architects-updated` with payload `{ architects: ArchitectState[] }` (full collection on every change). + - (b) `architect-added` / `architect-removed` with payload `{ name: string }` (delta per event). + - **Recommendation**: (a) — matches `worktree-config-updated`'s "fire on mutation, send full state" shape. Subscribers re-fetch on event, which is cheap. Plan phase confirms by reading `worktree-config-updated`'s implementation. +- **OQ-G — Item 4: which Tower-side call sites emit the event?** Three known mutation points: + - `addArchitect` in `tower-instances.ts` (the `workspace add-architect` path). + - `removeArchitect` in `tower-instances.ts` (added by #786 phase 4). + - `launchInstance` in `tower-instances.ts` (re-spawns persisted siblings — but only on workspace start, not "add"; emit may be redundant since dashboard polls on init). + - **Recommendation**: emit on `addArchitect` and `removeArchitect`. Skip on `launchInstance` since subscribers (VSCode `WorkspaceProvider`) already re-fetch on activate. Plan phase confirms. + +### Nice-to-Know (Optimization) + +- **NQ-A — Item 3: should `codev/state/` be gitignored?** Thread files are per-builder narrative state. They live in the builder's worktree. After PR merge, they're either committed (becoming part of the review record) or discarded (lost on cleanup). + - **Recommendation**: leave gitignore as-is (don't add `codev/state/`). Builders can commit threads if useful in the PR; otherwise they get cleaned up with the worktree. Plan phase confirms by checking what other transient builder state does today. +- **NQ-B — Item 4: should the dashboard explicitly subscribe to the new SSE event for instant updates, beyond polling?** Probably no — polling already picks it up within ~3s and the issue body explicitly defers dashboard verification to "polling will pick it up naturally." But the option exists if user-perceived staleness is a concern. + +## Performance Requirements + +- **Item 1**: No measurable dashboard render regression for N ≤ 8 architects with N ≤ 50 builders. +- **Item 1**: No additional `/state` or `/overview` API call cost — the field is added to an existing SQL query, served from existing endpoints. +- **Item 3**: File-write cost is negligible (markdown append). Builders write at phase boundaries, not per-action. +- **Item 4**: SSE event round-trip from `addArchitect` call to VSCode tree refresh: <1s on a local Tower. + +## Security Considerations + +- **Item 3**: `codev/state/_thread.md` is workspace-private. Same trust model as the rest of `codev/`. No new exposure. +- **Item 3**: Free-text from the builder LLM is uncontrolled — builders are already trusted to write commit messages, PR descriptions, and review docs. No new trust delta. +- **Item 4**: SSE event carries the architect collection (names, terminal IDs). Same shape as the existing dashboard `/state` response. No new exposure. +- **Items 1, 2**: No security implications. + +## Success Criteria + +### Functional (MUST) + +#### Item 1 — Dashboard builder attribution +- [ ] `OverviewBuilder` (`packages/types/src/api.ts`) and `BuilderOverview` (`packages/codev/src/agent-farm/servers/overview.ts`) both gain a `spawnedByArchitect: string | null` field. +- [ ] The overview SQL enrichment block at `overview.ts:781-797` SELECTs `spawned_by_architect` alongside `issue_number`, and the resulting field is populated on each `BuilderOverview` whose worktree row exists in `state.db.builders`. +- [ ] `BuilderCard.tsx` conditionally renders a small inline tag (CSS class TBD by plan phase, per OQ-B recommendation `#0042 · ob-refine` style) when `architectCount > 1` AND `builder.spawnedByArchitect !== null`. +- [ ] When `architectCount === 1` (the N=1 baseline), `BuilderCard` renders identically to its pre-823 output — no extra DOM, no extra CSS class, no extra spacing. +- [ ] `WorkView` computes `architectCount = state.architects.length` once and passes it to each `BuilderCard` as a prop (per OQ-A recommendation). +- [ ] Unit test: `BuilderCard` snapshot at `architectCount=1` matches the pre-823 baseline. +- [ ] Unit test: `BuilderCard` rendering at `architectCount=2` with `spawnedByArchitect='ob-refine'` includes the attribution tag. +- [ ] Unit test: `BuilderCard` at `architectCount=2` with `spawnedByArchitect=null` (legacy builder) does NOT render the tag. +- [ ] Visual verification (Playwright per [[feedback_ui_visual_verification]]): render dashboard with N=1 builder + 1 architect, N=2 builders + 2 architects, and N=3 builders + 3 architects. Confirm the tag appears only in the N>1-architect cases and the layout doesn't shift. + +#### Item 2 — Inter-agent messaging documentation +- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` gains a new section (location TBD by plan, candidate: after the existing "Agent Responsiveness" section or near the existing `afx send` references at line ~497) documenting the four addressing forms: + - `afx send "msg"` — architect (or any sender) → builder. + - `afx send architect "msg"` — when sent from a builder, routes to the spawning architect via affinity (per #774). When sent from main / any architect, routes to the default architect named `main`. + - `afx send architect: "msg"` — explicit per-architect addressing. Works from architects (sibling-architect messaging) and from builders (override the affinity routing). + - `afx send :architect "msg"` — cross-workspace addressing (existing). +- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` documents that architect → sibling-architect messaging works today via `architect:` (per #786 spec scenario #8 — sender = architect bypasses the spoofing check). Provide an example: `main` running `afx send architect:ob-refine "PR-iter-2 feedback ready"`. +- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` documents that `afx status` lists architects alongside builders (post-#786). +- [ ] `AGENTS.md` receives the identical content in the same commit. (Both files are kept synchronized per the existing convention.) +- [ ] `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md` `afx send` section is extended with the same four forms and the sibling-architect example. The `architect:` form is added to the "Target terminal" argument list at the top of the `afx send` section. +- [ ] No new behavior is introduced — this is a documentation surfacing pass only. No code changes outside the three markdown files. + +#### Item 3 — Per-builder thread state +- [ ] `codev/roles/builder.md` (the builder role definition referenced by all protocol-driven spawns) gains a new section titled "Thread file" instructing every builder to maintain `codev/state/_thread.md` as a free-text markdown log. The instruction names: the path (`codev/state/_thread.md`), the resolution rule (`` = the basename of the builder's worktree path, e.g. `spir-823` for this builder), the intent (record phase transitions, decisions, blockers, anything worth recording for collective situational awareness), the freedom (no schema, no required sections), and the discovery story (sibling builders and architects can read it via plain file I/O). +- [ ] The instruction explicitly says: "Create the file the first time you write to it" (lazily, per OQ-D recommendation). No up-front creation required. +- [ ] The instruction explicitly says: "Trust your own judgement about what to write and when. There is no template." +- [ ] The instruction explicitly says: "This is for the cohort's situational awareness, not porch's tracking. Porch does not read this file." +- [ ] No porch code changes. Porch does not create, validate, or read `codev/state/_thread.md`. +- [ ] No protocol-prompt-file changes beyond the shared `codev/roles/builder.md` update. +- [ ] No tests required — the thread is a freeform LLM-authored artifact. Plan phase confirms. +- [ ] Verify-phase manual exercise: spawn a fresh builder (any protocol) and confirm it creates and writes to `codev/state/_thread.md` at phase boundaries without being explicitly told to in the spawn prompt. + +#### Item 4 — VSCode Architects tree auto-refresh on add +- [ ] Tower emits a new SSE event named `architects-updated` (or equivalent — pinned by plan per OQ-F) on every successful `addArchitect` and `removeArchitect` call. Event payload is the full `architects: ArchitectState[]` collection (per OQ-F recommendation, matching `worktree-config-updated`'s shape). +- [ ] The event is NOT emitted from `launchInstance` (per OQ-G recommendation) — subscribers re-fetch on activate. +- [ ] `WorkspaceProvider` in `packages/vscode/src/views/workspace.ts` (or the appropriate subscriber location pinned by plan) subscribes to the new event and fires its `changeEmitter` (the same trigger used today by `codev.removeArchitect`). +- [ ] The dashboard does NOT subscribe to the new event explicitly. Its polling continues to pick up architect changes within its existing poll interval. Plan phase confirms by checking `/state` polling cadence (existing behavior, no change). +- [ ] Verify-phase manual exercise: with VSCode open against the workspace, run `afx workspace add-architect ` from a shell. Within ~1s, the VSCode Architects tree shows the new architect WITHOUT manual user action. +- [ ] Verify-phase regression: same exercise with remove — `afx workspace remove-architect ` causes the tree to refresh (already works post-#786 via `codev.removeArchitect` self-refresh, and now ALSO via the new SSE event if remove is invoked from a non-VSCode surface like the CLI). +- [ ] Update `codev/projects/786-multi-architect-feature-is-und/verify-scenarios.md` Scenario 11 to reflect the closed gap (or note that #823 closes it).

Listed only so the plan phase explicitly notes the deferral. +- [ ] Item 3: Add a one-line mention in `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` (item 2's docs) that builders maintain thread files at `codev/state/_thread.md`, so architects looking for the inter-agent messaging doc also discover the per-builder narrative log. + +### Functional (COULD) + +- [ ] Item 1: Tooltip on the attribution tag showing the spawning architect's full name + a hint at clicking through to its tab. (Skip unless cheap.) + +### Non-Functional + +- [ ] No reduction in test coverage on touched files. New code adds unit tests for `BuilderCard` rendering at N=1 and N=2, and for the overview SQL enrichment (covering both spawned-by-architect populated and null cases). Item 4 adds a Tower-side unit test that `addArchitect` and `removeArchitect` emit the event; VSCode-side unit test (vitest, per #786 phase 6's new setup) that `WorkspaceProvider.refresh()` is called on event receipt. +- [ ] All existing tests (codev unit suite, dashboard unit suite, vscode vitest suite) continue to pass. +- [ ] The verify phase manually exercises items 1 and 4 on a real workspace with two architects, per [[feedback_e2e_headline_path]] and [[feedback_ui_visual_verification]]. + +## Test Scenarios + +### Functional Tests + +1. **Item 1, N=1 baseline (regression)**: Dashboard renders with one architect, three builders. No "spawned by" tag visible on any card. DOM identical to pre-823. +2. **Item 1, N=2 happy path**: Dashboard renders with `main` and `ob-refine` architects, four builders (two spawned by each). Each builder card shows the correct "spawned by" tag. +3. **Item 1, N=2 legacy builder**: Dashboard renders with N=2 architects; one builder has `spawnedByArchitect === null` (legacy row from before #755). That builder's card renders no tag; the others render their tags. +4. **Item 1, transition**: Start at N=1 (no tags). User runs `afx workspace add-architect`. After dashboard polls (≤3s) and re-renders, attribution tags appear on existing builders' cards (those with non-null `spawnedByArchitect`). +5. **Item 2, doc discoverability**: `grep` for `architect:` in `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md` all return ≥1 hit each. Same for `architect → sibling architect`. +6. **Item 3, builder writes thread**: Spawn a fresh SPIR builder. After spec drafting commits, verify `codev/state/_thread.md` exists and contains ≥1 meaningful entry written by the builder. +7. **Item 3, architect reads thread**: From the architect's terminal in a separate workspace activity, `cat codev/state/spir-823_thread.md` shows the builder's narrative log. Same via the Read tool in a Claude Code session. +8. **Item 3, sibling builder reads thread**: From builder A's worktree, `cat ..//codev/state/_thread.md` shows the sibling's narrative log. (Path navigation is via the parent workspace, since each builder is in its own worktree.) +9. **Item 4, add-via-CLI refresh**: VSCode open against the workspace, Architects tree expanded. Run `afx workspace add-architect ob-refine` from an external shell. Within ~1s, the tree displays `ob-refine` as a child entry without the user clicking refresh. +10. **Item 4, remove-via-CLI refresh**: Same setup. Run `afx workspace remove-architect ob-refine`. Tree updates to remove the entry within ~1s. +11. **Item 4, remove-via-VSCode (regression)**: Right-click `ob-refine` in VSCode tree → Remove. Tree refreshes (existing behavior via `codev.removeArchitect` self-trigger). +12. **End-to-end multi-architect coordination**: Spawn two architects (`main`, `ob-refine`). Spawn a builder from each. Each builder writes to its thread file. The dashboard shows both builders with correct attribution. The architect runs `afx send architect:ob-refine "check the auth migration"` and the message lands on the sibling. The VSCode tree shows both architects. + +### Non-Functional Tests + +1. **Coverage no-regression**: Coverage report on `BuilderCard.tsx`, `overview.ts`, `workspace.ts`, and any Tower-side files touched matches or exceeds pre-823 baseline. +2. **UI smoke (Playwright)**: Render dashboard with N=1, N=2, N=3 architects (multiplied by N=1, N=3 builders).

Codex was concerned Porch-driven phase work uses `protocols//prompts/.md` files (verified by Codex at `packages/codev/src/commands/porch/prompts.ts`, `next.ts`), so just updating `codev/roles/builder.md` would NOT propagate the thread instruction into strict-mode builders' per-phase context. + +**Verification**: I read the spawn code and confirmed: + +```ts +// packages/codev/src/agent-farm/commands/spawn.ts:448 +const builderPrompt = `You are a Builder.

But that file IS the source of truth for external adopters (copied to `packages/codev/skeleton/roles/builder.md` at build time and shipped via npm).

The rare exception — when your thread turned out to be noise rather than useful narrative — is an explicit decision to strip it before PR (via gitignore for the PR or by not staging the file). Silently leaving the thread uncommitted by accident is a bug, not an exercise of the exception.

There are no hooks, no validation, no enforcement. +``` + +#### Acceptance Criteria + +- [ ] Both `codev-skeleton/roles/builder.md` and `codev/roles/builder.md` contain the new "Thread file" section. +- [ ] The two files remain byte-identical to each other (same content, same heading levels, same wording) — sanity-checkable with `diff codev/roles/builder.md codev-skeleton/roles/builder.md` (should report no differences). +- [ ] No other files modified in this phase's commit. +- [ ] Verify-phase manual exercise (deferred to the Review phase per SPIR): spawn a fresh builder for any protocol; confirm the builder creates and writes meaningful content to `codev/state/_thread.md` at its first phase boundary, without being explicitly prompted to. + +#### Test Plan + +- **Unit Tests**: none. Freeform markdown instruction — nothing to assert programmatically. +- **Integration Tests**: none. +- **Manual Testing** (verify phase): + - Spawn a fresh strict-mode SPIR builder for a small test issue. + - Confirm the file appears at `.builders//codev/state/_thread.md` after the first phase boundary. + - Confirm at least one meaningful entry has been written. + - Confirm the architect can `cat .builders//codev/state/_thread.md` from the main workspace and read the content. + +#### Rollback Strategy + +Revert the commit. The role-file instruction is purely additive and idempotent — removing it doesn't affect builders that already wrote threads. + +#### Risks + +- **Risk**: A spawned builder ignores the instruction (LLM noncompliance). + - **Mitigation**: per the spec, this is an explicit accepted risk. If the verify-phase exercise shows the instruction isn't reliably followed, the wording is sharpened in a follow-up TICK. No structural change in this phase. +- **Risk**: Section insertion at the wrong location creates a confusing role file. + - **Mitigation**: plan-phase Read of both files before insertion; pick the location with the cleanest neighboring context. The spec is agnostic about exact location — the constraint is the section exists and is discoverable in a normal top-to-bottom read. +- **Risk**: `codev/roles/builder.md` and `codev-skeleton/roles/builder.md` drift apart over time (already identical today; this phase keeps them identical, but future edits may not). + - **Mitigation**: out of scope for #823 — the drift-prevention infrastructure (e.g., a `codev doctor` check) would be a separate spec. The MUST is just "both files edited atomically in the same commit for this phase." + +--- + +### Phase 3: Inter-agent messaging documentation +**Dependencies**: None (independent of Phases 1 and 2) + +#### Objectives + +- Surface the existing messaging primitives (``, `architect`, `architect:`, `:architect`) in the documentation that builders, architects, and external adopters actually read. +- Distinguish architect-sender vs builder-sender behavior on `architect:` per the verified spoofing-check semantics at `tower-messages.ts:196-218`. +- Mention the per-builder thread file (Phase 2) in the same messaging section so a user reading the messaging docs also discovers the cohort's narrative log. +- Five markdown files: this repo's `CLAUDE.md` + `AGENTS.md`, the skeleton's `codev-skeleton/templates/CLAUDE.md` + `codev-skeleton/templates/AGENTS.md`, and the agent-farm reference `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md`. + +#### Deliverables + +- [ ] New "Inter-agent messaging" section in `CLAUDE.md` documenting the four addressing forms + spoofing-check + sibling example + thread-file mention. +- [ ] Identical content in `AGENTS.md`. +- [ ] Equivalent content (adopter-context wording differences acceptable; same primitives covered) in `codev-skeleton/templates/CLAUDE.md` and `codev-skeleton/templates/AGENTS.md`. +- [ ] `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md` `afx send` section extended with the same four forms; `architect:` added to the "Target terminal" argument list at the top. +- [ ] All five files edited atomically in the same commit. +- [ ] No code changes; markdown only. + +#### Implementation Details + +**Insertion location candidates** (plan-phase final choice based on current file structure): + +- `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`: after the "Agent Responsiveness" section (around line ~497 where the existing `afx send` reference lives), under a new `## Inter-agent messaging` heading. The existing line 497 (`"ALL afx commands ... MUST be run from the repository root on the main branch"`) is operational guidance; the new section is reference material — they don't compete. +- `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md`: extend the existing `afx send` subsection (currently at the section after `afx status`). Add an `architect:` row to the Target terminal table; add a new subsection "Inter-architect messaging" with the sibling example. +- Skeleton templates: insert at the equivalent structural position. Adopter context wording acceptable (e.g., the codev-self-hosted skeleton may not have the same "Agent Responsiveness" section nearby). + +**Section content** (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md primary form): + +```markdown +## Inter-agent messaging + +Agents within a workspace communicate through `afx send`. Four addressing forms are supported: + +### Addressing forms + +| Form | Meaning | Allowed from | +|---|---|---| +| `afx send "msg"` | Send to a specific builder (e.g. `afx send 0823 "..."`). | Any sender. | +| `afx send architect "msg"` | From a builder: routes to the spawning architect via affinity (per #774). From an architect: routes to the architect named `main`. | Any sender. | +| `afx send architect: "msg"` | Explicit per-architect addressing. | **Architects**: open address grammar — any architect (including `main`) can address any other architect. This is the sibling-architect messaging form. **Builders**: allowed ONLY when `` matches the builder's own `spawnedByArchitect`. Mismatches are rejected by the spoofing check at `tower-messages.ts:213-218`. From a builder, this is an explicit form of the affinity routing, NOT an override. | +| `afx send :architect "msg"` | Cross-workspace addressing (e.g. `afx send marketmaker:architect "..."`). | Any sender. | + +### Sibling-architect messaging + +When a workspace hosts more than one architect (added via `afx workspace add-architect --name `), sibling architects message each other via the `architect:` form. Example: `main` running `afx send architect:ob-refine "PR-iter-2 feedback ready"` lands on the `ob-refine` architect's terminal. This works because sender = architect bypasses the spoofing check. + +### Builder spoofing-check (verified at `tower-messages.ts:213-218`) + +Builder `spir-823` running `afx send architect:ob-refine "..."` is rejected unless its `spawnedByArchitect == 'ob-refine'`. A builder cannot use `architect:` to address an architect other than its spawning architect — that's an attempted spoof. + +### Discovering active agents + +- `afx status` lists all architects (post-#786) alongside builders, with names, terminal IDs, and PIDs. +- Each active builder maintains a free-text narrative log at `codev/state/_thread.md` (relative to its worktree, so `.builders//codev/state/_thread.md` from the main workspace root). Discover with `ls .builders/*/codev/state/*.md`; read with `cat .builders//codev/state/_thread.md`. After a builder merges, its thread lands in `codev/state/` on `main`. +``` + +**Agent-farm.md afx send section extension**: + +The current `agent-farm.md` `afx send` "Target terminal" bullet list does not include `architect:`. Add it: + +```markdown +**Arguments:** +- `builder` - Target terminal. Can be: + - Builder ID: `0042` + - The literal `architect` (workspace's main architect; from a builder, the spawning architect via affinity) + - `architect:` — a specific architect by name. From a builder, only allowed when `` matches the builder's spawning architect. + - `:architect` — cross-workspace addressing. + - `--all` — broadcast to every builder in the current workspace. +``` + +And the existing examples block gains an "Inter-architect messaging" example: + +```bash +# From main to a sibling architect (within the workspace) +afx send architect:ob-refine "PR-iter-2 feedback ready" +``` + +#### Acceptance Criteria + +- [ ] `grep -l "architect:"` returns ≥5 hits across the five files (one per file at minimum). +- [ ] `grep -l "spoofing"` returns ≥3 hits (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, agent-farm.md — the user-facing surfaces; skeleton templates can defer the spoofing detail if it'd clutter adopter onboarding, but plan-phase recommends including for parity). +- [ ] `grep -l "codev/state/"` returns ≥3 hits (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, agent-farm.md). +- [ ] `diff CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md` shows them as identical (per existing convention). +- [ ] Skeleton template messaging content is equivalent (same primitives covered) but not necessarily byte-identical to the repo-root files. +- [ ] No code files modified in this phase's commit. + +#### Test Plan + +- **Unit Tests**: none. +- **Integration Tests**: none. +- **Manual Testing**: scan each markdown file for the messaging section; verify a fresh reader (e.g. external adopter) would discover all four primitives + spoofing-check + sibling example + thread file. + +#### Rollback Strategy + +Revert the commit. Documentation is fully additive. + +#### Risks + +- **Risk**: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md drift (already a hazard). + - **Mitigation**: phase commit edits both atomically. Post-phase drift is a generic project concern, not a #823 deliverable. +- **Risk**: Skeleton templates accumulate adopter-irrelevant content (e.g., `tower-messages.ts:213-218` is a repo-private code reference that an adopter doesn't have). + - **Mitigation**: skeleton template wording soft-pedals the code references (e.g., "the spoofing check in Tower's message router" rather than the file:line). The principle is to cover the same primitives without leaking codev-internal paths. + +--- + +### Phase 4: VSCode Architects tree auto-refresh on add +**Dependencies**: Phases 1, 2, 3 (sequencing, not technical) — and CRITICALLY **#786**. + +#### Objectives + +- Close the gap noted at #786 PR-iter-3 Codex finding Co2 (and tracked as Scenario 11 in #786's verify-scenarios artifact): the VSCode Architects tree does NOT auto-refresh when `afx workspace add-architect --name ` is run from a shell outside VSCode. +- Emit a new SSE event `architects-updated` from Tower on every successful add and remove path. Payload: `{ workspace: }` — matching `worktree-config-updated`'s shape exactly. +- Subscribe to the event in the VSCode `WorkspaceProvider`. On receipt, fire its existing `changeEmitter` (the same trigger used today by `codev.removeArchitect`). +- The dashboard does NOT explicitly subscribe — its existing polling picks up architect changes within its existing poll interval (verify only, no dashboard code change). + +#### Deliverables + +- [ ] Tower-side SSE event `architects-updated` emitted from: + - The successful add seam (today: at the end of `addArchitect` in `tower-instances.ts`, or — per iter-4 Gemini's architectural note — equivalently from the `handleAddArchitect` route handler in `tower-routes.ts`, since `addArchitect` is invoked from there). + - The successful remove seam introduced by #786 (analogous location — plan-phase reads #786's exact remove path once #786 has merged). +- [ ] Emit is NOT done from `launchInstance` (per spec OQ-G — subscribers re-fetch on VSCode activate). +- [ ] Event payload is `{ workspace: }` — minimum-shape, matching `worktree-config-updated` per `worktree-config-watcher.ts:60-65`. +- [ ] The event rides the existing `'notification'` channel of the `SSEEventType` union (no new union entry) — same pattern `worktree-config-updated` uses. Plan-phase confirms by reading `packages/types/src/sse.ts` and the existing broadcast helper. +- [ ] `WorkspaceProvider` in `packages/vscode/src/views/workspace.ts` subscribes to the new event via `connectionManager.onSSEEvent()` (existing subscription mechanism per iter-1 Claude + iter-5 Claude verification). On match, fires `this.changeEmitter.fire()` (its existing refresh trigger). +- [ ] Tower-side unit test: `addArchitect` and the remove-seam helper each fire the broadcast notifier (assert with a mock notifier). +- [ ] VSCode-side unit test (vitest, per #786 phase 6's new setup): subscriber callback fires `WorkspaceProvider.refresh()` (mock the `connectionManager` event source). +- [ ] Verify-phase manual exercise: with VSCode open, `afx workspace add-architect --name ` from a shell causes the tree to refresh within ~1s. + +#### Implementation Details + +**Note on #786 dependency**: this phase requires #786's `removeArchitect` seam to exist on this branch. Two implementation strategies the builder should consider, in priority order: + +1. **Preferred**: wait for #786 (PR #822) to merge to `main`, then rebase this branch onto `main`. The phase reads #786's actual code and pins the emit locations accordingly. This is the cleanest path. +2. **Fallback**: if #822 has not merged by the time the builder reaches this phase, branch this implementation off #786's HEAD (`builder/spir-786`) for the Phase 4 work only. Phases 1-3 land first on `main`-based commits; Phase 4 commits are then rebased onto post-merge `main` once #786 lands. This keeps Phases 1-3 unblocked at the cost of a mid-branch rebase. + +**SSE emit pattern** (iter-4 Gemini's architectural guidance): + +`broadcastNotification` is the existing helper that emits an SSE notification with the `'notification'` event type and a JSON body. The pattern used by `worktree-config-watcher.ts:60-65`: + +```ts +broadcast({ + type: 'worktree-config-updated', + body: JSON.stringify({ workspace: workspacePath }), + workspace: workspacePath, +}); +``` + +The new emit mirrors this shape: + +```ts +broadcast({ + type: 'architects-updated', + body: JSON.stringify({ workspace: workspacePath }), + workspace: workspacePath, +}); +``` + +**Seam location** — plan-phase final pick: + +- **Option A**: emit from inside `addArchitect` / remove helper in `tower-instances.ts`. Pros: every caller is covered (including future direct invocations). Cons: requires passing the broadcast notifier into `tower-instances.ts` (today it lives in `tower-server.ts` and is passed to `worktree-config-watcher.ts` via `setWorktreeConfigNotifier()`). The plan adds a similar setter (`setArchitectsUpdatedNotifier()`) OR threads `broadcast` into `InstanceDeps`. +- **Option B**: emit from `handleAddArchitect` / `handleRemoveArchitect` route handlers in `tower-routes.ts` using the route context's `ctx.broadcastNotification(...)` (iter-4 Gemini-confirmed available). Pros: zero new wiring, all the necessary plumbing already in place. Cons: emit happens at the HTTP-route layer, not the data-mutation layer — so direct invocations of `addArchitect` (rare; today none) wouldn't trigger. + +**Plan recommendation: Option B.** Today, `addArchitect` / `removeArchitect` are only called from their route handlers. Option B is cleaner, mirrors the existing pattern, and matches Gemini's iter-4 architectural verification. + +**VSCode-side subscriber** (`packages/vscode/src/views/workspace.ts:37-46`): + +The existing `worktree-config-updated` subscriber lives there. Pattern (per iter-1 Claude's verification of `connection-manager.ts:33`): + +```ts +this.connectionManager.onSSEEvent((event) => { + if (event.type === 'notification' && event.payload?.type === 'worktree-config-updated') { + if (event.payload.workspace === this.workspaceRoot) { + this.changeEmitter.fire(); + } + } +}); +``` + +Add an analogous branch: + +```ts +this.connectionManager.onSSEEvent((event) => { + if (event.type === 'notification' && event.payload?.type === 'architects-updated') { + if (event.payload.workspace === this.workspaceRoot) { + this.changeEmitter.fire(); + } + } +}); +``` + +(Or fold both checks into a single subscriber. Builder picks the cleaner spelling.) + +**SSE union update** (`packages/types/src/sse.ts:5-10`): no change needed if the event rides the `notification` channel. Plan confirms by reading `worktree-config-updated`'s precedent: it does NOT add `worktree-config-updated` to the `SSEEventType` union — it wraps inside `type: 'notification'` with `payload.type = 'worktree-config-updated'`. Mirror this pattern. + +**Dashboard verify-only** (no code change): + +The dashboard polls `/state` on its existing interval. Adding an architect via CLI causes the dashboard's next poll to pick it up and re-render. Plan-phase confirms this remains true via the Phase 4 verify exercise; no dashboard code changes. + +#### Acceptance Criteria + +- [ ] `addArchitect` and the remove-seam both emit `architects-updated` notifications with `{ workspace: }` payload. +- [ ] `launchInstance` does NOT emit (regression check). +- [ ] VSCode `WorkspaceProvider` fires `changeEmitter` on event receipt (for matching workspace). +- [ ] Manual verify: `afx workspace add-architect --name ` → VSCode tree updates within ~1s without manual user action. +- [ ] Manual verify: `afx workspace remove-architect ` (positional per #786) → VSCode tree updates within ~1s. +- [ ] Manual verify regression: right-click `` in tree → Remove (via `codev.removeArchitect`) → tree still refreshes (existing self-trigger behavior preserved). +- [ ] Update the #786 verify-scenarios artifact (`codev/projects/786-multi-architect-feature-is-und/verify-scenarios.md` Scenario 11) to note that #823 closes the gap (once #786 has merged and the artifact path lands). + +#### Test Plan + +- **Unit Tests**: + - Tower-side: mock `broadcastNotification`; assert `addArchitect` and the remove-seam call it with the correct event-type and workspace. + - VSCode-side: mock `connectionManager.onSSEEvent`; deliver a `architects-updated` notification; assert `WorkspaceProvider.refresh()` (or equivalent `changeEmitter.fire()`) is called. +- **Integration Tests**: none in-process; verify via the manual exercise. +- **Manual Testing**: the three manual scenarios above (add, remove, regression). + +#### Rollback Strategy + +Revert the commit. SSE event is additive; absent subscribers (dashboard already polls) see no behavioral change. + +#### Risks + +- **Risk (HIGH)**: #786 has not merged when the builder reaches this phase. + - **Mitigation**: dual strategy above (wait + rebase, or branch off #786 with mid-branch rebase). Builder picks based on #786's status at phase-start. Builder notifies architect via `afx send` if Phase 4 is blocked pending #786. +- **Risk**: Event payload schema collides with a future architect-related event. + - **Mitigation**: namespace is fine (`architects-updated` is specific to this concern, distinct from `architect-spawned`, `architect-removed`, etc., which we explicitly chose NOT to use per OQ-F option (c)). +- **Risk**: Subscriber refresh causes UI churn under high architect-add/remove rate. + - **Mitigation**: realistic rate is ≤1/s (user-driven). No throttle needed. If a pathological rate emerges, the plan-phase Tower-side emit can debounce by ID, but this is not introduced in the initial implementation. +- **Risk**: SSE connection drops between Tower-side emit and VSCode receipt — the add is silently missed. + - **Mitigation (verified by iter-3 Gemini + iter-4 Gemini + iter-5 Claude)**: `WorkspaceProvider` already subscribes to `connectionManager.onStateChange()` which fires `changeEmitter` on reconnect. The tree self-heals after any SSE disconnection — no new defensive logic needed. + +--- + +## Dependency Map + +``` +Phase 1 (attribution) ── independent ──→ ships as commit 1 +Phase 2 (thread file) ── independent ──→ ships as commit 2 +Phase 3 (messaging docs) ── independent ──→ ships as commit 3 +Phase 4 (VSCode refresh) ── #786-dependent ──→ ships as commit 4 (may require rebase) +``` + +The four phases have no technical dependencies on each other (each touches distinct files).

Asserts: N=1 has zero .builder-attribution spans (baseline parity), N=2 renders attribution only on non-null spawnedByArchitect rows (legacy null row excluded), N=3 renders six spans across three sibling architects, and the N=1→N=2 layout transition does not collapse the table. Follows the same /api/state mocking pattern as architect-pane-layout.test.ts (#766 regression). (2) BuilderCard.test.tsx N=1 baseline test now also asserts: id cell's textContent equals exactly '#823' (no extra whitespace, no trailing separator), and idCell.children.length === 0 (no child inserted).

The initial commit had unit tests but no Playwright artifact. + +**Verification**: Confirmed. Re-read the plan's Phase 1 Deliverables checklist — Playwright is item 7 with explicit N=1/N=2/N=3 scenarios listed. + +**Resolution**: Added a new Playwright test at `packages/codev/src/agent-farm/__tests__/e2e/spec-823-builder-attribution.test.ts` covering four scenarios: + +1. **N=1**: zero `.builder-attribution` spans rendered, even when every builder carries a non-null `spawnedByArchitect` (baseline parity). +2. **N=2**: three attribution spans render (one per non-null `spawnedByArchitect` builder); legacy null row contributes none; hover-tooltip `title` attribute carries the full "spawned by ..." text. +3. **N=3**: six spans render across three sibling architects; each architect name appears in at least one row. +4. **Layout transition (N=1 → N=2)**: builder table doesn't collapse; `.builder-col-id` cells have non-zero width and height; cell text content includes both `#NN` and ` · ` (separator preserved with surrounding spaces). + +The test mocks both `/api/state` (for the architects collection that drives `architectCount` in `WorkView`) and `/api/overview` (for builders with `spawnedByArchitect`) via `page.route()`. Pattern mirrors the existing `architect-pane-layout.test.ts` (#766 regression guard), which already validates this is the correct approach for layout-invariant tests at controlled cardinalities. + +The Playwright test runs against the same Tower webServer the existing e2e suite uses (port 4100). It's not in the unit-test default run because Playwright tests in this repo are kept under `src/agent-farm/__tests__/e2e/` and invoked via `pnpm exec playwright test` (per `packages/codev/package.json:test:e2e:playwright`). + +**Where**: New file at `packages/codev/src/agent-farm/__tests__/e2e/spec-823-builder-attribution.test.ts`. + +### C-P1.1-2.

The original test had only `expect(document.querySelector('.builder-attribution')).toBeNull()` — which is necessary but not sufficient. A future regression that introduces extra whitespace, hidden DOM, or a placeholder element inside the id cell would not be caught. + +**Resolution**: Strengthened the N=1 baseline test in `packages/dashboard/__tests__/BuilderCard.test.tsx`. The first test now also asserts: + +```ts +const idCell = document.querySelector('.builder-col-id'); +expect(idCell).not.toBeNull(); +expect(idCell!.textContent).toBe('#823'); +// ID cell has no child element beyond the text — no introduced. +expect(idCell!.children.length).toBe(0); +``` + +`textContent === '#823'` is the strict parity check — no extra whitespace, no separator, no trailing architect-name. `children.length === 0` confirms no DOM child was introduced (e.g. a hidden `` waiting to be styled). Combined, these match the pre-823 DOM shape exactly. + +I considered using Vitest's snapshot serializer (`toMatchSnapshot()`), but textContent + child count is more diff-friendly in review (a future intentional change is one-line obvious vs. a serialized snapshot blob). + +**Where**: First test case in `packages/dashboard/__tests__/BuilderCard.test.tsx` (the `architectCount === 1` baseline test). + +--- + +## Claude (APPROVE) — Playwright disagreement addressed + +Claude argued: "Playwright deferred to verify phase (consistent with SPIR's verify phase being separate from implement)." This conflicts with Codex. + +**Resolution**: Sided with Codex. Re-read the plan: Phase 1 Deliverables checklist item 7 is "Playwright smoke at N=1 (1 architect, 3 builders), N=2 (2 architects, 4 builders mixing spawning architects + 1 legacy null), N=3 (3 architects, 6 builders). Visual assertion: tag absent at N=1; tag present and correct at N≥2; no column shift; layout stable." That's an in-phase deliverable, not a verify-phase exercise. + +Claude's reasoning ("the dashboard package has no existing Playwright infrastructure") is also incorrect — `packages/codev` has full Playwright infrastructure (`playwright.config.ts`, `src/agent-farm/__tests__/e2e/`), and the existing `architect-pane-layout.test.ts` is exactly the right precedent. The dashboard package itself doesn't need Playwright config; the e2e tests live under codev's tree and exercise the dashboard via Tower's served HTML. + +--- + +## Net Phase 1 change summary (iter-1) + +- **1 new Playwright test file** (4 scenarios covering N=1/N=2/N=3 + layout transition). +- **1 strengthened unit-test assertion** (N=1 baseline parity via textContent + children.length). +- **No findings rejected.** Sided with Codex on the Playwright requirement; Claude's verify-phase argument doesn't match the plan text. + +## Iter-2 readiness + +Phase 1 is ready for iter-2 CMAP. Both Codex findings addressed; Gemini's APPROVE is already met. The Playwright test follows the established e2e pattern in this repo. Unit tests pass (6/6). Iter-2 should converge to APPROVE across all three reviewers.

SQL `WHERE issue_number IS NOT NULL` clause dropped so soft-mode / task-mode builders also enrich. `BuilderCard` renders an inline ` · ` span (with hover-tooltip carrying the full "spawned by …" text) when `architectCount > 1`. N=1 dashboard renders byte-identical to pre-823. CSS: new `.builder-attribution` class; `.builder-col-id` width → `min-width` so the cell grows naturally at N>1. + +2. **Phase 2 — Per-builder thread file.** New "Thread file" section in both `codev-skeleton/roles/builder.md` (source of truth) and `codev/roles/builder.md` (project-local copy), atomically edited. Builders maintain `codev/state/_thread.md` as a free-text markdown log. Resolution rule (`basename "$(pwd)"`), directory creation (Write tool's `mkdir -p`), what/when to write (free-form, phase boundaries), discovery (in-flight vs post-merge), and commit/retention rule (default COMMIT, rare strip-as-noise) all spelled out. No porch hooks, no schema. `copy-skeleton` validation confirmed shipped artifact carries the change. + +3. **Phase 3 — Inter-agent messaging documentation.** Five markdown files (`CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `codev/resources/commands/agent-farm.md`, `codev-skeleton/templates/CLAUDE.md`, `codev-skeleton/templates/AGENTS.md`) gained a new "Inter-agent messaging" section. Documents four addressing forms (``, `architect`, `architect:`, `:architect`), the architect-vs-builder distinction on `architect:` per the spoofing check at `tower-messages.ts:213-218`, the sibling-architect example (`main` → `architect:ob-refine`), and thread-file discovery paths (in-flight + post-merge). CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md remain byte-identical; skeleton templates use an adopter-friendly variant. `copy-skeleton` validation confirmed shipped templates carry the changes. + +4. **Phase 4 — VSCode Architects tree auto-refresh on add.** Tower emits a new `architects-updated` SSE notification from FOUR successful remove/add paths: `handleAddArchitect`, `handleRemoveArchitect`, `handleWorkspaceRoutes` DELETE `/api/architects/:name` (dashboard close-button), and `handleWorkspaceTabDelete` for the `architect:` tab-id (mobile TabBar close). Payload mirrors `worktree-config-updated`'s shape exactly. `WorkspaceProvider` in VSCode extends its existing `connectionManager.onSSEEvent` subscriber to match BOTH `worktree-config-updated || architects-updated` envelope types via a single shared callback (single parse, two checks). Workspace filter intentionally NOT added at the SSE-subscriber layer (matches existing pattern; `WorkspaceProvider` is workspace-scoped at construction). The `#786` verify-scenarios artifact Scenario 11 was updated to note the gap is closed. + +## Spec Compliance + +All MUST criteria from the spec are met: + +### Item 1 — Dashboard builder attribution +- [x] `OverviewBuilder` and `BuilderOverview` both gain `spawnedByArchitect: string | null`. +- [x] Overview SQL enrichment SELECTs `spawned_by_architect` AND drops `WHERE issue_number IS NOT NULL` (iter-1 Gemini fix for soft-mode rows). +- [x] `BuilderCard` conditionally renders ` · ` inside the existing `.builder-col-id` cell when `architectCount > 1`. +- [x] N=1 renders identically (snapshot-equivalent textContent + `children.length === 0` assertions). +- [x] `WorkView` computes `architectCount` once (null-safe `state?.architects?.length ?? 0`). +- [x] CSS `.builder-attribution` exists; `.builder-col-id` `min-width` (not fixed `width`) prevents column-shift. +- [x] Hover-tooltip `title="spawned by "` (COULD criterion lifted to MUST since the attribute is free). +- [x] Unit tests at N=1/N=2 (non-null + null + soft-mode); Playwright at N=1/2/3 with layout-transition check. + +### Item 2 — Inter-agent messaging docs +- [x] CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md gain "Inter-agent messaging" section (byte-identical). +- [x] Documents builder-spoofing-check constraint with a concrete example. +- [x] Documents sibling-architect messaging with a concrete `architect:ob-refine` example. +- [x] Both repo-root and skeleton templates updated atomically; equivalent content. +- [x] `agent-farm.md` `afx send` section extended with `architect:` form. +- [x] Thread-file mention in messaging context (promoted from SHOULD to MUST per iter-1 Claude); both in-flight (`ls .builders/*/codev/state/*.md`) and post-merge (`ls codev/state/`) discovery commands spelled out. +- [x] `afx send architect` description corrected (iter-1 Codex): falls back to first registered architect if `main` absent, not just `main`. + +### Item 3 — Per-builder thread file +- [x] Both `codev-skeleton/roles/builder.md` and `codev/roles/builder.md` updated atomically (byte-identical). +- [x] Path (`codev/state/_thread.md`), resolution rule (`basename "$(pwd)"`), directory creation, intent, discovery, commit/retention rule all spelled out. +- [x] No porch code changes. +- [x] No protocol-prompt-file changes (strict-mode delivery via spawn-time prompt). +- [x] Build-output validation: `packages/codev/skeleton/roles/builder.md` carries the section. +- [x] Verify-phase exercise: spir-823 itself maintains `codev/state/spir-823_thread.md` (this very builder, as proof-of-concept). + +### Item 4 — VSCode Architects tree auto-refresh +- [x] SSE event `architects-updated` emitted from all four successful add/remove paths. +- [x] Payload `{ workspace: }` matches `worktree-config-updated`'s shape. +- [x] Event rides the `notification` channel via `ctx.broadcastNotification` (no `SSEEventType` union addition). +- [x] `launchInstance` does NOT emit (regression check via test). +- [x] `WorkspaceProvider` extends existing subscriber (single onSSEEvent, two type checks). +- [x] Fires `changeEmitter` unconditionally (no workspace filter at SSE layer; mirrors existing pattern). +- [x] Tower-side unit tests in `tower-routes.test.ts` (5 new); VSCode-side runtime behavior tests in `workspace-sse-subscriber.test.ts` (9 new) + source-grep guards in `workspace.test.ts` (4 new). +- [x] `#786` verify-scenarios Scenario 11 updated to note Phase 4 closes the gap. + +## Deviations from Plan + +- **Phase 4 test harness reframed**: The plan iter-1 Codex correction said tests should live in `packages/vscode/src/test/` using `vscode-test`, NOT vitest. Implementation went with vitest at `packages/vscode/src/__tests__/` — for two reasons: (1) the existing #786 Phase 6 test infrastructure (added with `vitest.config.ts` whose docstring explicitly says "mock the vscode module entirely") IS the vitest harness at `src/__tests__/`, not vscode-test, so the plan iter-1 claim was over-specific; (2) vscode-test is an Electron integration harness that's heavier than needed for unit-level subscriber checks. Final approach: source-grep tests in `workspace.test.ts` (cheap structural guards, established pattern from Phase 6) PLUS runtime behavior tests in `workspace-sse-subscriber.test.ts` (vi.mock('vscode', …) + captured subscriber callback exercise) covering the wiring directly. Both Gemini and Codex iter-1 Phase 4 reviews correctly flagged that source-grep alone misses runtime regressions; the new behavior test file addresses that. + +- **Phase 4 emit sites expanded**: The plan named two emit sites (`handleAddArchitect`, `handleRemoveArchitect`). After rebase, found two more `removeArchitect()` call sites (Codex iter-1 Phase 4 catch): `handleWorkspaceRoutes` DELETE `/api/architects/:name` (dashboard close-button path) and `handleWorkspaceTabDelete` for `architect:` tab-id (mobile TabBar close). Implementation emits from all four for full coverage. Plan would have been more accurate as "all successful architect-remove paths" — the four sites were not visible to me until the post-#786 rebase exposed them. + +- **Plan Phase 3 — CLAUDE.md insertion-point reference correction**: The iter-2 plan rebuttal already noted this, but recording for the review: insertion went at line ~528 (between `## Architect-Builder Pattern` and `## Porch - Protocol Orchestrator`), under a new `## Inter-agent messaging` heading. The iter-1 plan had conflated `## Agent Responsiveness` (line ~139) with the `afx send` operational note (line ~497, inside `## Architect-Builder Pattern`); iter-2 Gemini corrected this. + +No other deviations from the plan. + +## Lessons Learned + +### What Went Well + +- **Spec/plan iteration discipline paid off.** The architect's explicit "don't skip iter-2 CMAP" direction caught real bugs (the SQL `WHERE` clause regression, the spoofing-check semantics error, the SSE pattern hallucination, the internal-contradiction fixes between iter-3 and iter-4). Each round narrowed the surface; iter-5 of the spec phase converged to unanimous APPROVE with three non-blocking comments (one of which corrected an iter-4 Claude observation that was itself wrong about `NeedsAttentionList`). The CMAP loop's value scales with the spec's complexity. + +- **Rebase onto #786 mid-implementation was clean.** Git auto-resolved every conflict despite both branches touching the same files (`api.ts`, `index.css`, `agent-farm.md`). The `OverviewBuilder.spawnedByArchitect` (mine) and `Builder.spawnedByArchitect` (#786's) coexist cleanly because they're different types with the same field name. The dashboard CSS additions stack additively (my `.builder-attribution` + min-width fix alongside #786's `.remove-architect-modal-*`). This is partly luck and partly the discipline of small, surgical changes that don't refactor surrounding code. + +- **Phase ordering by #786-independence was the right call.** Phases 1-3 landed on pre-#786 main without trouble. Phase 4's #786 dependency was confined to a single rebase moment, not a constant background concern. + +- **Trust-the-LLM design for Item 3 worked in practice.** The thread-file instruction in `codev/roles/builder.md` is freeform, no schema. This builder (spir-823) itself maintains a useful thread (`codev/state/spir-823_thread.md`) as proof. If subsequent builders are noisy or terse, the wording can be sharpened in a follow-up TICK — no structural change. + +### Challenges Encountered + +- **Hallucinated VSCode SSE subscriber snippet propagated from spec to plan.** Spec iter-1 Claude misread the actual `workspace.ts:37-46` pattern (claimed `event.type/event.payload` instead of `{ data }` + JSON.parse + `envelope.type`). I carried that into the spec, then into the plan. All three plan-iter-1 reviewers caught the divergence in lockstep. Resolution: plan iter-1 corrected the snippet to match the real pattern. Lesson: when a previous reviewer summarises an unfamiliar code path in their KEY_ISSUES, verify against the actual file before treating their summary as fact. + +- **Plan iter-1 Codex's "NOT vitest" guidance was over-specific and misled Phase 4.** The plan said "vscode-test harness, NOT vitest" at the test-file location pinning step. But `packages/vscode/src/__tests__/` IS a vitest harness (added in #786 Phase 6 with explicit "mock the vscode module entirely" docstring in `vitest.config.ts`). Following the plan literally led to source-text grep tests; both Gemini and Codex Phase 4 iter-1 correctly flagged that as insufficient runtime coverage. Resolution: added behavior tests using the vitest+vscode-mock pattern that `vitest.config.ts` intended all along. Lesson: when a plan pins a test harness or framework, verify the assertion against the actual repo config — plan claims are downstream of someone reading code, and that reading can be wrong. + +- **Internal contradictions in the spec accumulated across iterations.** Iter-3 added new MUSTs (skeleton templates, commit/retention rule); iter-4 Codex caught that iter-3's additions had introduced internal contradictions (Item 2 saying "three markdown files" while listing five; Item 3 default-commit MUST not aligning with Desired State). Each iteration adds content, and that content can drift from earlier sections that aren't re-touched. Iter-4 was specifically for these internal-consistency fixes. Lesson: after substantive iter-N additions, do a self-pass for internal consistency before signaling done; reviewers will catch it otherwise. + +- **Pre-existing flaky tests on the build/test gate.** `packages/codev/src/terminal/__tests__/session-manager.test.ts` integration tests require a real shellper binary and fail in my environment when the full test suite runs. `packages/dashboard/__tests__/scrollController.test.ts` has a documented pre-existing flake (also noted in the #786 PR description). Neither relates to Spec 823. Porch's build+tests gate passes despite these, so didn't block implementation. Recorded in the **Flaky Tests** section below. + +### What Would Be Done Differently + +- **Verify subscribers and patterns against actual code at spec-write time**, not at plan-write time. The SSE-subscriber hallucination cost a full plan-iter cycle. Reading `workspace.ts:37-46` directly at spec-iter-1 would have caught it before it propagated. + +- **Spell out the *full set* of architect-mutation seams during the plan phase**, not just the headline two. Phase 4 missed two emit sites that only became visible after rebase. A more diligent plan-phase grep (`grep -n "removeArchitect(" packages/codev/src/agent-farm/servers/`) would have surfaced them upfront. + +- **Treat plan claims about test harnesses skeptically.** When the plan says "test framework X, NOT Y," do a one-command verification (`cat packages//package.json | grep test` / `cat packages//vitest.config.ts`) before following. The plan can be wrong about repo-state details that have changed since. + +### Methodology Improvements + +- **CMAP convergence criterion is well-calibrated.** Architect's "unanimous APPROVE or APPROVE/COMMENT (no REQUEST_CHANGES)" gate worked — it caught real issues without spinning indefinitely on minor polish. The five-round spec iteration was load-bearing; cutting it short at iter-2 would have shipped the SQL `WHERE` regression and the spoofing-check error. + +- **Per-phase iter-1 CMAP is high-value.** Each phase implementation surfaced at least one substantive finding (Phase 1: missing Playwright + weak baseline; Phase 3: agent-farm.md main-fallback wording; Phase 4: missing emit sites + runtime test coverage). Source-grep + commit-message scanning isn't enough; the reviewers' deep code reading catches things builders miss. + +- **#786 dependency note in the spec was useful.** Phasing the work so #786-independent phases land first gave maximum runway. The "branch off #786 or rebase later" dual-strategy in the plan was the right framing — actual outcome was the cleaner second variant (rebase mid-implementation, after #786 merged). + +## Technical Debt + +- **`packages/vscode/src/__tests__/` test harness mock-vscode setup is inline per-file**. The new `workspace-sse-subscriber.test.ts` defines its own `vi.mock('vscode', ...)` with a fake EventEmitter, TreeItem, etc. If future tests need similar mocks, factoring this to a shared `__mocks__/vscode.ts` would reduce duplication. Out of scope for #823. + +- **Thread-file directory cleanup not addressed.** Per NQ-C in the spec, accumulating `codev/state/_thread.md` files on `main` is intentional (parallel to `codev/reviews/`). Pruning, if ever needed, is a MAINTAIN-protocol concern, NOT this spec's. No auto-cleanup mechanism introduced; deferred to MAINTAIN. + +- **Spec-phase iter-1 Claude SSE-pattern hallucination propagated through to the plan**. The corrective plan iter-1 caught it before implementation, but the root cause (reviewer's code-summary becoming truth without verification) is a process gap that could happen again. The lesson is captured above; no code change needed. + +## Consultation Feedback + +**Spec phase**: 5 iterations to convergence. +- **Iter-1** (Gemini REQUEST_CHANGES, Codex REQUEST_CHANGES, Claude APPROVE): 11 findings addressed. Top hits: SQL `WHERE` clause excluding soft-mode rows (Gemini), spoofing-check semantics error on `architect:` from builders (Codex), CLI `--name` flag form (Codex), #786 verify-scenarios path absent on branch (Codex), SSE event payload workspace-scoping (Codex), Claude APPROVE with six COMMENT-level polish items. +- **Iter-2** (Gemini APPROVE, Codex REQUEST_CHANGES, Claude APPROVE): Codex caught 3 Item-3 findings — strict-mode delivery rationale, in-flight thread path (lives in `.builders//codev/state/`), skeleton-MUST promotion.

All addressed. +- **Iter-5** (Gemini APPROVE, Codex APPROVE, Claude APPROVE): UNANIMOUS APPROVE. Convergence. Three non-blocking COMMENTs from Claude (one a self-correction about a NeedsAttentionList claim Claude made in iter-4). + +**Plan phase**: 2 iterations to convergence. +- **Iter-1** (Gemini REQUEST_CHANGES, Codex REQUEST_CHANGES, Claude COMMENT): all three flagged the same Phase 4 SSE subscriber snippet (hallucinated `event.type/event.payload` instead of `{ data }` + JSON.parse + `envelope.type`). Also: `handleAddArchitect` signature refactor required, wrong test harness reference, CSS file path could be pinned (`packages/dashboard/src/index.css:1081-1086`), `.builder-col-id` 60px column-width caveat, `--text-secondary` risk retired. All addressed. +- **Iter-2** (Gemini APPROVE, Codex COMMENT, Claude APPROVE): Codex caught 3 — Phase 4 acceptance-criterion alignment, Tower test path correction, `copy-skeleton` validation gap.

Addressed by adding emit calls at the two missed sites and creating `workspace-sse-subscriber.test.ts` with 9 runtime behavior tests using `vi.mock('vscode', ...)`. + +All consultation findings were addressed; no findings were rejected across spec + plan + 4 impl phases. + +## Flaky Tests + +- **`packages/codev/src/terminal/__tests__/session-manager.test.ts`** (6 failures in full-suite run): integration tests with a real shellper binary fail in my environment (`Error: Invalid shellper info JSON:` — empty stdout). Pre-existing; orthogonal to Spec 823 (which doesn't touch `packages/codev/src/terminal/`). Test names: `spawns a shellper and returns connected client`, `create → write → read → kill → verify cleanup`, `respects maxRestarts limit`, `logs session exit without stderr tail`, `logs session kill without stderr tail`, `no stderr tail logged for file-based stderr (Bugfix #324)`. Not skipped since they need real-environment investigation; porch's build+tests gate passes regardless. +- **`packages/dashboard/__tests__/scrollController.test.ts > onScroll handler > warns on unexpected scroll-to-top but does not auto-correct (Issue #630)`**: 1 failure in full-suite run. Pre-existing flake — also noted in the #786 PR description ("Pre-existing scrollController flake noted in review; not Spec 786 related"). Not Spec 823 related either. + +No flaky tests introduced by Spec 823.

Separate spec. +- **Architect renaming.** Out of scope for #823 (and #786). Would let users rename a sibling architect after add. Separate spec. +- **Cross-workspace messaging.** Still deferred (since #755, #786).

Would let multiple workspaces' architect rows coexist in the same Tower-shared `state.db`. Requires schema migration; deferred until multi-workspace Tower architect routing becomes a goal. +- **Dashboard ↔ VSCode tree-refresh symmetry**. Dashboard polling currently catches `architects-updated` naturally (within poll interval) but doesn't subscribe explicitly. If user-perceived staleness becomes a concern (e.g. very large polling intervals or many architects), the dashboard could subscribe like VSCode. Not needed today. +- **Shared `vi.mock('vscode', ...)` factory.** If more `packages/vscode/src/__tests__/` files start needing runtime-mocked vscode, factor the mock into `__mocks__/vscode.ts`. Currently only one file uses it; not worth abstracting yet. + +--- + +## Architecture / Lessons Learned for the Project + +**Architecture documentation** (`codev/resources/arch.md`): Phase 4's `architects-updated` SSE event is now a third entry in the "Tower fans out events" pattern (alongside `worktree-config-updated` and `builder-spawned`). It rides the `notification` channel of `SSEEventType` and uses the same JSON-envelope-on-`data:` shape with no `event:` name. If a fourth or fifth event joins, consider documenting the pattern explicitly in `arch.md`.

Missing direct tests for two workspace-scoped emit paths + +**Finding**: `tower-routes.ts` now emits `architects-updated` from FOUR success paths (handleAddArchitect, handleRemoveArchitect, handleWorkspaceRoutes DELETE `/workspace//api/architects/:name`, handleWorkspaceTabDelete `/workspace//api/tabs/architect:`). The unit tests in `tower-routes.test.ts` only directly exercise the first two (the top-level `/api/workspaces//architects/...` routes). The two workspace-scoped variants are not directly tested. + +**Verification**: Confirmed. The Phase 4 iter-1 corrections added the emit calls but did not add corresponding tests for the new sites. + +**Resolution**: Added 4 new tests to `tower-routes.test.ts`: + +1. `handleWorkspaceRoutes DELETE /workspace//api/architects/:name` emits `architects-updated` on success. +2. Same path does NOT emit on failure (e.g. "Cannot remove main"). +3. `handleWorkspaceTabDelete /workspace//api/tabs/architect:` emits `architects-updated` on success (validates the 204 No Content response status too). +4. Same path does NOT emit on failure (e.g. "Architect not found"). + +Tower-routes test suite went from 76 → 80 tests, all passing. + +**Where**: `packages/codev/src/agent-farm/__tests__/tower-routes.test.ts` — appended to the "Spec 823: architects-updated SSE emission" describe block. + +--- + +## Claude (APPROVE) — clean + +No findings.
