indifferentketchup a734615480 docs: archive shipped openspec changes, refresh roadmap + DEFERRED-WORK
Move openspec/changes/{contracts-ssot,orchestrator} → archived/ (both shipped,
v2.7.13 and v2.7.17). Mark the roadmap's "Write/edit robustness" and "Claude
provider SDK" milestones as shipped (fuzzy-match.ts + checkpoints.ts; the
claude-sdk backend is live via CLAUDE_SDK_BACKEND in .env.host) and add a
v2.7.12–v2.7.17 shipped summary. Flag DEFERRED-WORK.md as superseded.

# Orchestrator (Phase 2) — in-app multi-agent conductor
## Source
Settled via a conversational `grill-me` design session. The captured behavioral
spec (12 decisions, the *what*) is
[artifacts/design-context.md](artifacts/design-context.md); the HOW is
[design.md](design.md), decomposed in [tasks.md](tasks.md) and committed in
[artifacts/implementation-decision-log.md](artifacts/implementation-decision-log.md)
(D-1…D-10). Note: design-context **decision 5** ("no worktree") is REVISED by
D-3/D-4 (worktree kept as a harmless read snapshot; read-only enforced by qwen
plan mode).
## Why
Phase 1 shipped a deterministic multi-agent **conductor** as a standalone host CLI
(`/opt/boocode/conductor/`): Han flows that fan out read-only specialist agents,
apply the evidence/yagni contracts, and emit an evidence-disciplined report. It is
not reachable from the app — a user in BooChat or BooCoder cannot launch a flow,
cannot watch agents progress live, and the run leaves no persisted, reopenable
artifact.
This change brings the conductor in-app: launch any Han flow from the shared
composer, watch each agent stream live (Paseo-style parent-with-subagents), and
get the report — all on the **already-loaded local Qwen 35B, free**, with the run
persisted and resumable across a coder restart. It reuses the existing task
dispatcher, streaming pipeline, and broker rather than standing up a parallel
execution path (see [design-context](artifacts/design-context.md) decision 4 and
D-2/D-3).
## What Changes
- **Two doors, full parity.** A `Workflow` button and a slash command on the shared
`ChatInput` composer → both appear in BooChat (ChatPane) and BooCoder (CoderPane),
desktop and mobile (icon-only). Slash launches instantly with defaults; the
button opens a flow launcher first. (decisions 2, 8, 9 · D-8)
- **A new `orchestrator` pane kind.** A run view alongside `chat | coder |
terminal`: flow + band header, the report at the top on completion, a collapsed
agent roster, expand-one-at-a-time to watch a single agent's live stream.
(decision 3 · D-7)
- **Read-only flows, enforced HARD.** Every step runs as a qwen agent under
`--approval-mode plan` (`mode_id='plan'`): reads allowed, writes blocked at the
tool level. Flows never write the repo; the report is the only output.
(decision 5 revised · D-4)
- **Execution reuses the dispatcher.** Each flow step is inserted as a normal
`tasks` row; the existing dispatcher runs it through the external-agent path and
streams AgentEvents → WS frames unchanged. One new `onTaskTerminal` hook advances
the flow. (decisions 1, 4 · D-2, D-3)
- **Persisted + resumable runs.** New `flow_runs` / `flow_steps` tables in the
coder schema; a run survives a coder restart (`initResume` reconciles mid-flight
steps). Runs are reopenable from a history; the report is exportable on demand
(copy / save-file / send-to-chat). (decisions 4, 10 · D-5, D-9)
- **Qwen-only, one model per run.** Default `qwen3.6-35b-a3b-mxfp4`, held as a
single config value so more local models slot in later. Multiple runs allowed,
each its own pane. (decisions 6, 11 · D-10)
- **Conductor definitions re-homed.** The pure flow/spine/contracts/types/render
files + 23 personas are copied into `apps/coder/src/conductor/`; the Phase-1 CLI
stays alive. The evidence/yagni contracts and adversarial-validator gate are
preserved (the flow-runner builds each prompt in-process before dispatch).
(decision 1 · D-1)
## Impact
- **`apps/coder` (deploy: `sudo systemctl restart boocoder`):** new
`conductor/` defs, `flow-runner.ts`, the `onTaskTerminal` dispatcher hook,
`flow_runs`/`flow_steps` in `schema.sql`, `initResume`, `POST /api/runs` +
list/reopen routes.
- **`packages/contracts` + `apps/web` (deploy: `docker compose up --build -d
boocode`):** two new WS frames (in all three registries), the `orchestrator`
pane kind + `OrchestratorPane.tsx`, the `Workflow` toolbar button + slash wiring,
`FlowLauncherDialog.tsx`, runs history + export.
- **No `apps/server` chat-pipeline change** beyond the contracts frame registry
(the web type is the wire gate).
- **Safety:** read-only is the whole feature's invariant; D-4 makes it a tool-level
gate, not a prompt. Reviewed by adversarial-security-analyst in R2.
## Out of scope (carried from design-context)
- A Claude execution path (Claude Code covers it).
- Folding Arena into the Orchestrator (stays separate).
- Per-agent model tiering (single model per run for now).
- Pixel-faithful per-skill Han report templates (spine-level only).
