Three connected changes that turn "Start research" from a status
flip into a real pipeline that produces a reviewable artifact:
- Migration 0036: adds research_topics.topology_kind (default
'hub_spoke') and a new research_outcomes table
(id, topic_id, version DESC, body_md, produced_by_run_id, created_at)
so each run's final synthesis is versioned and persistent.
- Wizard now has a topology picker in the Outcome step —
hub_spoke / pipeline / hierarchical / star_moe — with copy that
steers users to the right shape (Pipeline for research → distill
→ analyze → implement rosters, hub_spoke for the coordinator-
and-specialists default).
- start_topic reads the chosen topology_kind, parses it into a
cm_topology::TopologyKind, and dispatches a per-shape coordinator
prompt via build_coordinator_task. Pipeline explicitly tells
stage 1 not to write the final artifact and propagates a
"final stage MUST emit a complete markdown document with
measurable acceptance criteria" instruction downstream. The
graph builder is called with the topology the user actually
picked instead of hard-coded HubSpoke.
- topology_worker::freeze_research_outcome fires after every
successful complete(). It looks up research_topic_id on the run;
if set and final_output is non-empty, it inserts a new
research_outcomes row (version auto-derived server-side via
coalesce(max(version), 0) + 1). Best-effort — a DB hiccup logs
but doesn't fail the run.
- TopicDetail now includes topology_kind and latest_outcome.
ResearchCanvas swaps in the outcome's body_md (rendered as
pre-wrap markdown, versioned header, produced-at timestamp)
whenever an outcome exists; the original prompt collapses into
an "Original prompt" <details> below so it's still one click
away. Pre-run topics still show the description as before.
Follow-ups still open: reject-with-revision loop feeding the
coordinator, publishing → published transition + real artifact
export (md / pdf), and an approvals inbox surface for reviewers.
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.
Hooks the topology_worker's post-terminal path into a new
notify_run_completed repo helper that atomically transitions the topic
processing → reviewing when the completed run has research_topic_id set
AND no siblings for that topic are still queued or running. Guarded on
status='processing' so a retry, a re-fire, or a topic already past
processing are all no-ops. Best-effort at the worker; DB hiccups are
logged and never fail the run.
The manual /submit-review endpoint stays as an escape hatch for topics
that end up parked in processing with nothing to complete (updated the
doc comment).
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.

#2 GLM judge (closes#114): registry NamedProvider gains a `format` field;
build_provider_registry builds an AnthropicProvider for format="anthropic".
GLM's coding/OpenAI endpoint is ToS-throttled for raw SDK, but its Anthropic
endpoint (api.z.ai/api/anthropic) accepts raw API calls (verified x-api-key
-> glm-4.7), so CLAWMATES_JUDGE_MODEL=glm:glm-4.7 routes the door governor /
topology judge through GLM with no runtime-routing. (Kimi-as-judge still needs
a Platform key — coding key is agent-only.)
#3 run-control: POST /api/topology-runs/{id}/cancel (workspace-scoped,
queued/running only); the worker honors it at the step boundary (checks
current_status in the checkpoint callback) and won't clobber a cancel with
`failed`. Frontend Run tab gains a Cancel button and clickable recent runs
that deep-link into a live/replayed stream (SSE replays from checkpoint).
cm-* tests (incl. new cancel test) + clippy + frontend lint/typecheck green.

POST /api/topologies/run now ENQUEUES a durable job and returns 202
{run_id, status:queued} instead of executing inside the HTTP request — the
prerequisite for long-horizon runs (no client/proxy/LB timeout, survives
restarts).
topology_worker: a spawned loop that requeues stale running jobs, claims the
next queued one (CAS via FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED), drives it through
execute_resumable, and checkpoints RunProgress after every step; on crash the
stale sweep requeues it and the next claim resumes from the last checkpoint.
Wired into server startup beside the scheduler + resume sweeper.
GET /api/topology-runs/{id} now reports lifecycle status/kind/error/checkpoint
+ the result blob (kept the `comparison` field name for back-compat with the
compare UI; null until completed). list_runs includes status + kind.
Tests: durable lifecycle (enqueue→claim→checkpoint→complete) + stale-requeue
resume, both green; p0 endpoints (compare path) unchanged. 13 + 2 tests pass,
clippy clean.
