feat(directives): strict orchestration flow + sidebar overhaul + task page rewrite

2026-05-16T18:55:34+00:00

End-to-end rewrite addressing the issues from the user's UX review. The system now feels like a daemon-orchestration tool: lock a contract and the orchestrator just goes; PR raised → auto-ship → reopen for amendments. The sidebar tree shows real entities only (no duplicates, no inline action buttons polluting the file list), and every entity gets a right-click context menu. Task page matches the old /exec layout (diff on the left, feed + composer on the right). ## Backend — strict lifecycle (the orchestrator-never-spawned bug) Root cause: `phase_planning()` gates on `directive.status='active'`, but `start_contract()` only flipped the contract row — the parent directive stayed in whatever state it was. So locking a contract did nothing visible. Fix: contract lifecycle now drives directive status in the same transaction. start_contract → if contract becomes active, flip directive draft|paused|idle|inactive → active pause_contract → after promote, if no active contract left, directive → paused complete_contract→ after promote, if no active left, directive → inactive (also fires on auto-ship from PR detect) unlock_contract → if was active and no active left, directive → paused reopen_contract → NEW. shipped → active. Directive → active, orchestrator_task_id/pr_url/pr_branch cleared so the reconciler spawns a fresh planner. The planner reads get_latest_merged_revision and frames the new plan as an amendment. handlers::directive_documents lifts state.kick_directive_reconciler() into run_contract_transition so every successful transition wakes the reconciler immediately (no 15s wait). handlers::directives `update_directive` (PR-detection branch) calls `complete_contract(active_contract_id, pr_url, pr_branch)` instead of `set_directive_inactive`. The contract auto-ships; the directive follows via the sync above. No more manual "Mark complete" click. POST /api/v1/contracts/{id}/reopen added + wired through openapi. Spawn task names dropped the directive-title prefix that looked redundant in the sidebar: "Plan: " → "orchestrator" "Re-plan: <title>" → "orchestrator (re-plan)" "PR: <title>" → "completion" "Update PR: <title>" → "completion (update)" ## Frontend — sidebar * De-dupe: DocumentTasksFolder filters tasks[] to exclude any task whose id already appears in steps[].taskId. Single row per task, single highlight on click. * Generic SidebarContextMenu (new) replaces the directive-only DirectiveContextMenu (deleted). Per-entity item arrays built at the page level — directive, contract, step, task each have their own contextual actions. * Right-click works on every sidebar entity now (was directive-only). * `+ New document` / `+ New ephemeral task` inline buttons removed. Reachable via the directive folder right-click OR the hover-only `+` button on the directive folder row. * ContractHeader: dropped "Mark complete" button (auto-fires on PR). Added "Reopen for amendment" button when contract is shipped. ## Frontend — task page rewrite TaskPage.tsx replaces DocumentTaskStream.tsx (deleted). Two-column layout matches the old /exec page that the user preferred: ┌────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐ │ Changed files (~30%) │ Transcript feed (scrollable) │ │ ────────────────── │ ────────────────────── │ │ src/foo.rs │ [user] do thing │ │ src/bar.rs │ [tool] Read foo.rs │ │ │ │ │ Diff (selected file) │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ Composer (sticky bottom) │ └────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘ Diff comes from getTaskDiff(); parseDiff + DiffFileView exported from OverlayDiffViewer for reuse (no duplication). Diff auto-refreshes when the task transitions to a terminal state. Transcript styling + sticky composer keep the parts the user liked. "Open in task page" button removed — the right pane IS the task page.

The directive document/folder UI is now the canonical place to interact with makima; legacy /exec is subsumed by routing redirects, /contracts is already hidden in nav, and orphan tasks surface under a top-level tmp/ pseudo-folder. Phase 4 (porting contract-only features) was confirmed out of scope; Phase 5 (deleting the contracts code) is a follow-up. ## Backend - New migration `20260501000000_archive_existing_contracts.sql` flips every legacy contract to `archived` so /contracts is read-only history. - New endpoint `POST /api/v1/directives/{id}/tasks` creates an ephemeral task — `directive_id` set, `directive_step_id` NULL, repo/branch inherited from the directive. Reuses `create_task_for_owner`. - New endpoint `GET /api/v1/directives/{id}/tasks` lists ephemeral tasks attached to a directive (drives the per-folder ephemeral group). - `GET /api/v1/mesh/tasks?orphan=true` returns top-level tasks with no `directive_id` AND no `parent_task_id` — backs the sidebar's tmp/. - New repo helpers `list_ephemeral_directive_tasks_for_owner` and `list_orphan_tasks_for_owner`. - The existing `mesh_merge` endpoints are reused as-is for ephemeral task merge (no new merge logic needed). ## Frontend ### Sticky composer + auto-scroll fix (`DocumentTaskStream.tsx`) - Sticky comment composer pinned to viewport bottom; padding compensates so the last entry isn't hidden behind it. - `autoScroll` now resumes when the user scrolls back within 80px of the bottom (previously stuck off forever after a single scroll-up). - Floating "↓ Jump to latest" chip when the user has scrolled away. - Action header strip: explicit Stop / Send / Open-in-task-page + conditional "Merge to base ↗" button on ephemeral terminal tasks. - Module-level cache of historical entries by taskId so re-selecting a task you've viewed renders instantly while a fresh fetch runs. ### Sidebar (`document-directives.tsx`) - Top-level `tmp/` folder: orphan tasks, polled every 5s. - Per-directive `tasks/` subfolder now also surfaces ephemeral tasks (lazily fetched on folder open) with a distinct asterisk-on-terminal icon (`EphemeralTaskIcon`). - Inline hover-action chips on each directive folder header: Start / Pause / PR / +New task. Right-click menu still works as a power-user fallback. - "Now executing" amber strip in the editor pane: surfaces the live orchestrator/completion/running-step task with a one-click jump. - Inline `+ New task` modal (name + plan); on submit calls `createDirectiveTask` and navigates into the freshly-spawned task. - New `EphemeralAwareTaskStream` wrapper passes `ephemeral` and `status` to `DocumentTaskStream` so the merge button only shows when the selected task is genuinely an ephemeral spinoff in a terminal state. Step-spawned tasks merge via the directive's PR completion. ### SWR cache (`useDirectives.ts`) - Module-level `listCache` and per-id `detailCache` (mirrors the pattern in `useUserSettings.ts`). Mounting the hook renders the cache value immediately if present and kicks a background refresh; subscribers see the new value when it lands. Cuts perceived navigation latency to near-zero on warm cache hits. ### QuickSwitcher (`QuickSwitcher.tsx`, new) - IntelliJ-style double-Shift command palette mounted at app root. - Listens at the document level for two `Shift` keydowns within 300ms with no other key in between; ignores while focus is in an input/textarea so capitalising letters doesn't pop the palette. - Searches across directives + their tasks (orchestrator/completion/ steps/ephemerals) + orphan tmp tasks. Fuzzy matches on title. - Eagerly loads task details for the first 20 directives on open so searches don't block on per-directive fetches. ### Routing (`main.tsx` + `exec-redirect.tsx` + `tmp.tsx`) - New `ExecRedirect` wrapper at `/exec/:id`: when documentMode is on AND the task has a `directiveId`, replaces the URL with `/directives/<directiveId>?task=<taskId>`. Otherwise renders the legacy `MeshPage` as before. - New `/tmp/:taskId` route renders `DocumentTaskStream` standalone for orphan tasks, with the masthead and a `tmp / <slug>` breadcrumb.

On mount, if a draft for the directive exists in localStorage and differs from the persisted goal, restore it and put the editor in dirty/pending state — leaving the page no longer loses work. - localStorage-backed "Live start" toggle in the bar. When off, the editor stays in "dirty" instead of auto-firing; user clicks "Save now" to commit. - Discard button reverts the editor to the persisted goal and clears the draft. ## Sidebar restructure (document-directives.tsx) - Drop the active/idle/archived top-level grouping; show one folder per directive instead. Folders sort by lifecycle (active, paused, idle, draft, archived) then alphabetically. - Each folder header shows a colored status dot on BOTH sides (left as the primary status icon, right as a mirror plus a pulse when the orchestrator is live), replacing the previous "/active", "/idle" text labels. - Inside each open folder: the directive's document is pinned at the top (with a small star icon), then the orchestrator task (if running), then the completion task, then any step tasks that have started. - The currently-selected directive's folder is auto-opened so deep links always land somewhere visible. ## Live document task stream (DocumentTaskStream.tsx, new) - Selecting a task in a folder navigates to ?task=<id> and replaces the Lexical editor with a document-styled live transcript: assistant prose as flowing paragraphs, tool calls as marginalia, results as a closing block. No log/code box. - Comment textarea at the bottom calls sendTaskMessage on submit, the same wire the existing TaskOutput input bar uses for interrupts. ⌘/Ctrl-Enter submits. - Header breadcrumb gains a "back to document" affordance to return to the pinned doc view without reopening the sidebar.
