The frontend already renamed the "Specialists" tab to "Agent" and
rewrote the intro to ask for one specialist, but the backend
prompt was still telling Opus to propose "2 or 3 domain
specialists". Two-facing message got confusing outputs.
- SPECIALISTS_NOTE now says "SINGLE agent … `members` MUST contain
EXACTLY ONE entry … topology_kind='flat' … team_name reads like
a personal handle." Removes the ambiguity.
- TEAM_NOTE range aligned to "4 to 6 agents" (matches the UI hint
and intro).
- Frontend right-panel now reads "PROPOSED AGENT" for specialists
mode (was "PROPOSED TEAM") and pluralization matches the count
("1 agent" vs "3 agents"). Build button switches to "Build agent"
in that mode.
Migration 0033: adds teams.lifecycle ('permanent' | 'ephemeral') and a
topology_runs.team_id back-ref with a partial index for the sibling-in-
flight check.
cm-db repo:
- teams::insert_team_with_lifecycle (insert_team keeps the permanent default)
- topology_runs::enqueue_run_for_team (populates team_id)
- topology_runs::check_ephemeral_teardown — atomic SELECT that only
returns Some when the team is ephemeral AND no siblings are still
queued/running; carries the workspace + bound claw ids for cleanup.
cm-api:
- topology_worker post-terminal hook maybe_teardown_ephemeral_team
runs deprovision_claw on each bound claw (best-effort; failures log
but don't block Postgres deletion), then hard_purge each agent row,
then delete_team.
- routes::teams::build_team_with_lifecycle (build_team keeps default);
run_team enqueues with team_id.
- planner ScaffoldRequest gains mode; lifecycle_for(mode) sets the team
to ephemeral for scheduled + triggered, permanent otherwise.
Frontend MasterPlannerModal passes mode in the scaffold payload so the
backend can derive lifecycle without duplicating the mode taxonomy.
Tests: 3 new (returns claws when no siblings, holds when siblings queued,
ignores permanent teams). 10/10 topology_jobs green; workspace clippy
--tests clean.
Frontend: send topologyKind to /api/planner/chat so the planner's user
prompt gets a USER-LOCKED TOPOLOGY block telling Opus to use it verbatim.
On buildTeam, override proposal.topology_kind with the user's pick
(belt-and-braces — if the planner ignored the lock, we still ship the
right shape). Proposal chip renders the effective kind in a lavender
tint when it was overridden, with a hover title showing what was
replaced.
Backend PlannerChatRequest gains an optional topology_kind. Empty /
absent = planner picks. Not honored for 'swarm' mode (swarm planner
doesn't take a topology kind).
Survey + fixes so the pipeline passes at the Docker level (no k8s).
- Remove k8s: drop the `sandbox-k8s` job (kind/Calico/--features k8s-tests) and the
"Helm chart lints" gate step. release.yml was already k8s-clean.
- Rust job:
- `cargo fmt --all` — fix pre-existing formatting drift (fmt --check was failing).
- clippy -D warnings: fix 3 lib warnings (cm-brain sort_by_key→Reverse, cm-api
fleet.rs doc list indentation, node_rules map_or→is_none_or).
- Regenerate the .sqlx offline cache (was missing the cm-runtime run_loop test
query → offline compile failed). DB-backed tests use testcontainers at runtime.
- Set SQLX_OFFLINE=true on the rust + e2e jobs so query! macros compile against
the committed cache deterministically (no DB needed at compile time).
- Frontend job:
- Fix the 1 ESLint error (useAgentTelemetry: no setState-synchronously-in-effect;
tag the slice with agentId + derive null on mismatch).
- Fix 2 stale panel-params tests (`terminal` is a valid app id now; assert the
current APP_IDS + use a genuinely-unknown id for the reject case).
Verified locally: fmt clean, clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean (offline),
frontend lint 0 errors, tsc clean, 86/86 frontend tests pass, build OK.
