Omar SobhandClaude Opus 5 ceec0423ad feat(teams): staff research phases with a research team
`research_only` is repo-less, one research phase, "produce a markdown
artifact" — and it defaulted to `rust_sdlc`. So it was staffed with a
planner, a coder, a tester, a reviewer and a committer, four of whom had
nothing to do, each carrying the code-and-commit skills its role is bound
to. Measured 2026-08-21: 9 distinct skills across 5 role prompts, ~50KB,
one applicable. That is what "most skills score not_applicable" in the
Skill-Use baseline has been measuring all along — the skills were
correctly bound to their roles; the roles were wrong for the workflow.

None of the three existing research templates fit, so this adds
`topic_research`: frame the brief into answerable questions, gather
evidence with the URL and the quoted passage, check every claim against
its source, write the report. Three roles, four skills, each checked
against its own `when_to_use` before binding — and two obvious candidates
deliberately NOT bound, because `executive-summary-writing` tells the
writer to discard any item not tied to a named project and
`signal-to-noise-ranking` scores relevance the same way. On a standalone
topic report that discards the deliverable.

`default_phase_teams` lets a recipe staff each phase PURPOSE separately,
resolved into `config.phase_teams` at create. A multi-phase recipe does
not have one job: `research_and_code`'s research phase spends a paragraph
of `task` telling its team not to change source files, because
`rust_sdlc` gave that phase a coder and a committer and they did what
coders do — mission 01a00c57 shipped both INT items during RESEARCH and
the coding phase then delivered +0/-0. Prose was the only lever
available; staffing is the actual one.

Also fixed in the three existing research templates, all verified rather
than inferred:

  - `papers_research` bound `arxiv-daily` to its DOMAIN SCOUT. That
    skill's entire content is "Do not search arXiv yourself — the harvest
    already ran", and its `when_to_use` names Continuous Research
    missions, which are the only ones the platform writes a harvest
    manifest for. The role whose job is searching was bound a skill
    forbidding it.
  - Its PAPER READER was told to "fetch the PDF, extract text". The
    runtime image has no pdftotext, no mutool and no pypdf — checked in
    the container. Every paper would have hit the `[read: abstract only]`
    fallback, which reads identically to the fallback working as designed.
  - `insight_research` cross-referenced "our repos'" history. A mission
    binds ONE repo (`missions.repo_id`).
  - `codebase_research` wrote to "the Obsidian vault"; no vault is
    mounted, and both it and `papers_research` were committing in "PRs",
    which the platform does not open.

And `research_only` itself had neither `task` nor `done_when` — the same
defect `benchmark`, `security_hardening` and `research_and_code` were each
fixed for, and it was left out. A phase with no `done_when` is never
judged. It also still asked for `pdf`, a format nothing generates.

Two new guards, both negative-controlled: every team a recipe names must
exist (a typo currently only logs, and the mission is staffed by the
fallback crew looking deliberate), and every `default_phase_teams` key
must be a purpose `purposes_for` actually emits.

Omar SobhandClaude Opus 5 5c2c63f8e8 feat(missions): a human can finally reach the plan/roster review gate
Phase 4 of the plan, plus the PLAN_COMPLETE decision and the gitea_forge
cleanup from Phase 5.

THE REVIEW UI

mission_plan and mission_roster have been complete and reachable by curl
since they shipped, with zero frontend. That matters more than a missing
screen usually would: the decide step is not a convenience, it IS the
safety mechanism. Approving a plan replaces the mission's phases; approving
a roster flips it to the composed engine. A gate nobody can reach is a gate
that is always open or always shut.

MissionProposalDrawer, modelled on LevelUpDrawer which already does
load → review → decide. Reached from a mission's SETUP tab. Verified end to
end against the live backend, not just compiled: a model proposed a roster,
approval flipped the mission to `composed`, and approval on a non-draft
mission was refused.

The plan view shows each phase's done_when, and says plainly when one is
absent — a phase without a completion condition is never judged and reports
completed whatever it did, so its absence is the thing worth seeing.

AND THE DEFECT BUILDING IT FOUND

Every refusal path computed a precise reason — "the mission is running, not
a draft", "no node can boot that backend any more" — logged it to stderr,
and returned a bare {"error":"bad request"}. The person who needed the
sentence was the one clicking Approve; they got two words, and the reason
went to a server log they cannot read.

ApiError::Refused(String) carries it now. Same argument ApiError::Unavailable
was added for ("a 500 with 'internal error' sent them looking for a bug that
was not there"), one status code down. Live: the 400 now reads "this mission
is completed — a roster can only be approved while it is a draft, because
approving one rewrites how the mission will run".

PLAN_COMPLETE, decided

The Skill-Use measurement found that int-xx-marker-protocol documents
PLAN_COMPLETE and task_card_parser never implemented it, so an agent
following the skill exactly was silently ignored. Implemented rather than
removed from the skill: the planner needs a way to say it is done
specifying, and agents already emit it.

Marker ids are now strictly INT-<digits>. `starts_with("INT-")` accepted the
range form `INT-01..02` — observed live — which parsed into an id matching
no real item, so a task card appeared for something that did not exist while
the two items it covered stayed open. Rejecting is right: an ignored marker
is visible, a plausible row is not.

GITEA_FORGE, REMOVED

Named in nine places, defined in none. Harmless while provision_claw ignored
the bundle list; once the list was honoured, an undefined name became a
capability an agent is told it has and does not. Removed from seven team
templates, a workflow recipe, the auto-provision path, and a dropdown a user
could pick it from.

A new test asserts every bundle a template names is defined in the runtime
config — and it immediately found `web_fetch` in two templates I had missed
removing by hand. Same shape as the skill-binding test, one layer up.

Agents reach the forge through git over HTTPS with the ambient GITEA_TOKEN,
which is why nothing ever broke.

Full workspace suite green (106 binaries); frontend builds clean.

Omar SobhandClaude Opus 5 4358964c05 fix(skills): every team-template skill binding now resolves
55 of 85 role skill bindings pointed at skills that were never authored,
so 10 of 11 team templates bound a smaller context bundle than their role
prompts assumed. Three roles bound nothing at all (gpu.bench_engineer,
threejs.shader_author, threejs.perf_engineer) while their prompts described
procedures they had no way to read.

The loader comment at team_template_loader.rs:167 already diagnosed this —
snake_case slugs in TOML against kebab-case skill files — and it was
half-fixed: the kebab names were corrected, the snake_case ones left.

It was invisible because both existing tests assert authored ⊆ referenced
(30/30, green) and the second explicitly declines to check the other
direction. So the failing half was the half nobody asserted.

Resolved every name by one of three explicit choices:

  - 23 skills authored where the role genuinely needed the procedure
    (gpu, threejs, research, analysis, frontend, mobile, backend, platform)
  - renames onto authored skills where one existed in substance, including
    the four-near-duplicate cases that collapse onto one real skill
  - 22 aspirational references deleted — a binding an agent cannot read is
    a promise, not a capability

Two tests now hold it. The unit test checks referenced ⊆ authored against
the files. The new integration test runs both loaders in boot order and
asserts the bindings survive the trip through the database, which is a
different question: resolution goes through skills_catalog rows, so a skill
file that exists but fails to ingest still leaves the role empty.

Negative controls: the unit test failed naming all 55; the integration test
fails naming the exact role when one name is reverted.

threejs.shader_author and .perf_engineer gained a second and third skill
after the collapse — pin_in_context pins idx < 2, so a role left with one
skill silently pins less than the policy intends.

Omar SobhandClaude Opus 5 2eb0880fc0 fix(skills): reconcile team-template skill names so role bindings actually bind
ci / gates (push) Successful in 5s
ci / rust (push) Failing after 10s
ci / frontend (push) Failing after 19s
ci / e2e (push) Skipped
ci / publish (push) Skipped
Every skill reference in every team template was failing to resolve. The
TOMLs used snake_case slugs (`write_rust`, `index_selection`) while the
authored skills under `skills/**/*.md` declare kebab-case names
(`write-rust-current-edition`, `postgres-index-selection`), so
`get_by_name` missed on all of them: 128 skipped bindings across 51
distinct names, and no mission agent received any of its template's
skills.

The mirror-image half was equally invisible: ten authored skills —
including `int-xx-marker-protocol`, whose own `when_to_use` says "pin on
every coding role" — were referenced by no role at all, so nothing could
ever load them.

- Rename the 14 references that have authored skills behind them, and
  dedupe the two that now collapse onto the commit-protocol skill.
- Attach all ten orphaned skills to the roles their `when_to_use` names.
  All 23 authored skills now reach at least one role.
- Aggregate the loader's per-name logging into one line per template.
  The old per-name spam is why this went unnoticed; a bound/unresolved
  count is noticeable. References with no authored skill are kept and
  listed — they record intent for skills not yet written.
- Two regression tests: no authored skill may be orphaned, and every
  authored skill must be referenced by its exact name.

Also clears the two standing clippy warnings: group
`mint_team_from_template`'s eight positional args into `TeamMint`, and
make `provider_alias_for` branch on `is_exact_provider_match` so the
helper is live code and the two can't disagree about what counts as an
exact family match.

Omar Sobh 84572186e9 fix(runtime_provision): use team-template risk_profile, not hardcoded toolfree
ci / gates (push) Successful in 6s
ci / publish (push) Successful in 4m4s
ci / frontend (push) Successful in 38s
ci / rust (push) Successful in 3m48s
ci / e2e (push) Skipped
The provisioner was hardcoding risk_profile=toolfree for every claw,
which the ZeroClaw config explicitly configures to EXCLUDE every
usable tool (shell, file_read, file_write, http_request, browser).
Result: coder/tester/committer claws had zero tools and produced text
in the context window with no ability to actually write files or run
tests — exactly what the last mission summary showed.

Fixes:
- provision_claw now takes risk_profile: &str, passed through from
  the team template (development teams already had coding_readwrite,
  which now actually gets applied).
- Research team templates updated from toolfree → research_readonly
  (file_read) and papers_research → research_web_readonly
  (file_read + web_search + web_fetch). Applied to both the on-disk
  TOML files and the live DB rows.
- Added RuntimeProvisioner::default_risk_profile_for_role for
  auto-provision code paths that lack a template context — picks
  coding_readwrite for coder-like roles, research_readonly otherwise.
- Split rebind_model out of provision_claw so the model-change UI
  path doesnt inadvertently clobber the existing risk_profile.

Templates DB fixup for missions launched pre-deploy is already
applied via manual UPDATE.

Omar Sobh f0dd0147f6 templates: 5 research team templates + category filtering
ci / gates (push) Successful in 5s
ci / frontend (push) Successful in 26s
ci / rust (push) Successful in 4m28s
ci / e2e (push) Skipped
ci / publish (push) Successful in 2m45s
Adds the operator's five categorized research team archetypes:

  1. codebase_research — code archeologist, architecture mapper,
     flow tracer, vault scribe. Produces Obsidian vault entries
     under Codebases/<repo>/ that make future missions faster.
  2. papers_research — domain scout, paper reader, library curator.
     Pulls arXiv / Semantic Scholar / conference proceedings, keeps
     a structured local library under Papers/<topic>/.
  3. insight_research — implementation tracker, novelty hunter,
     publication drafter. Bidirectional loop that spots
     publication-worthy novelty in our own implementations of
     external papers.
  4. continuous_research — signal harvester, ranker, digest writer.
     Standing sweep of RSS + arXiv daily + GitHub trending; produces
     a rolling ContinuousResearch/<date>/digest.md.
  5. continuous_improvement — brain inspector, improvement proposer,
     improvement evaluator. Standing self-audit that files level-up
     proposals for the operator to review + measures the outcome.

Each template ships with role system_prompts + brain_seeds authored
in the same voice as the existing backend/frontend/etc templates —
evidence-first, redlines called out, no invention.

Schema + code:
  - 0057_team_templates_category.sql — new column with
    CHECK (research | development | security | ops). Existing rows
    default to 'development'.
  - team_templates::UpsertBuiltin + TeamTemplate carry category
    (with default_category = 'development' fallback for
    Serialize/Deserialize compatibility).
  - team_template_loader reads `category = "..."` from the TOML;
    absent defaults to 'development' so old templates keep working.
  - Wizard step 3 filters:
      Research teams panel → templates.filter(t.category==='research')
      Development teams panel → templates.filter(t.category==='development')
    Operator can no longer accidentally pick backend as their
    "research team".

Test fixture updated with category="development".

The templates ship in the server image via the existing
`COPY templates /etc/clawmates/templates` line — no Dockerfile
change needed.
