+# Second Brain OS v0.1 — open self-hosted Obsidian for crews
+
+## Why
+
+Echodo pivots per `docs/decisions/2026-08-25-second-brain-os-pivot.md` from closed code-cockpit to open "Obsidian for agent crews": `docker compose up`, BYO LLMs (Ollama 11434 / MLX 8000 / NIM), any harness via AG-UI/MCP. Current `plans/` is hand-edited markdown + CLI import; Fleet is per-workspace kanban only; worker is code-only with hard worktree + 4-tool allowlist. This convoy makes the homelab dogfoodable + publishable for stars.
+
+See `plans/Plan-automation-foundation/Plan-automation-foundation.md` v0.1 order (2026-08-25 pivot).
+
+## Scope
+
+1. MCP `create-backlog-item` — natural language `Plan/Epic/Task` creation (0.5d)
+2. Worker non-code: optional worktree + per-harness allowlist + `doc_review→published` (1d)
+3. Harness registry + WorkerAdapter: `harness_providers` + `role_harness_routes`, `AG-UI /api/ag-ui`, `Settings → Harnesses` (2-3d)
+4. Plans tree: `apps/web/app/(app)/[workspaceSlug]/plans/page.tsx` + `backlog.createPlan/createEpic/createTask` + `Start→Convoy` (1w) — Epic 10
+5. Fleet rollup: `/fleet` + SSE `convoy_events` feed (3-4d) — Epic 9
+
+Out of scope: Epic 8 webhooks, Epic 11 artifacts, Epic 12 copilot (post-v0.1); LiteLLM required, per-user overrides.
+
+## Roles invoked

+# Brief 1 — MCP `create-backlog-item` (0.5d)
+
+## Goal
+
+Any agent (OpenCode/Cursor/Codex) via MCP can say "create an Epic for offline mode with 3 tasks" and it writes `plans/Plan-*/Epic-*/Task-*.md` + re-imports to `markdown_backlog_items` `packages/database/src/markdown-backlog/sync.ts:38`.
+
+## Files
+
+- `apps/mcp-server/src/tools/create-backlog-item.ts` NEW — zod schema `kind: plan|epic|task`, `slug`, `title`, `planSlug`, `epicSlug`, `status`, `priority`, `bodyMarkdown`, `agent_prompt`; validates frontmatter per `docs/templates/`, writes file via `exportBacklogItemToMarkdown` inverse, calls `syncMarkdownBacklogScan` or direct DB insert + `contentHash` `packages/database/src/markdown-backlog/parse.ts:1`.
+- `apps/mcp-server/src/tools/index.ts` register
+- `packages/database/src/markdown-backlog/parse.test.ts` add case
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- `mcp call create-backlog-item {workspace:"maya-workspace", kind:"task", slug:"research-prompt", planSlug:"clarity", epicSlug:"ai-tags", title:"Research prompt", bodyMarkdown:"..."}` creates `plans/Plan-clarity/Epic-ai-tags/Task-research-prompt.md` with YAML frontmatter + body, row appears in `markdown_backlog_items` without manual `pnpm import`.
+- Duplicate slug under same epic → error `CONFLICT`.
+- `pnpm lint && pnpm type-check && pnpm --filter @tasks/mcp-server test` (if exists) pass; `apps/mcp-server` still builds Docker.
+
+## Prompt for implementer
+
+You are `role-implementer` for `second-brain-os-v01` brief 1. Read `docs/decisions/2026-08-25-second-brain-os-pivot.md`, `packages/database/src/markdown-backlog/parse.ts`, `apps/mcp-server/src/tools/claim-task.ts:1` as reference. Implement exactly this brief, keep changes small, run `pnpm lint && pnpm type-check`.
+
+## Dogfood
+
+`claim_task` on the matching `plans/Plan-automation-foundation/.../Task-*.md` if exists (or ad-hoc) → `complete_task outcome:succeeded tokensTotal:... modelAlias:qwen-coder`.

+---
+
+# Brief 2 — Worker non-code (1d)
+
+## Goal
+
+`book/course/research/SOPs` docs don't need git worktree or `pnpm`. Worker must handle doc tasks writing straight to `docs/`/`plans/` no branch, with allowlist per harness.
+
+## Files
+
+- `apps/worker/src/git/worktree.ts:1` — add `needsWorktree: boolean` param; when false skip `ensureWorktree`, use `monorepoRoot` directly. Keep existing path for code briefs `job.briefId` present.
+- `apps/worker/src/tools/allowlist.ts:1` — make `allowlist` configurable per harness `harness.config.allowedCommands` (or `minimal: [read,write,grep]` only). Pass `allowedCommands` into `runCommandTool`.
+- `packages/shared/src/convoy-lifecycle/state-machine.ts:1` — add `doc_review → published` transition (mirror `pr_review → merged`), allow `human-gate-2` analogue `doc-approver`.
+- `apps/worker/src/handle-job.ts:40` — thread `harness.needsWorktree` + `harness.allowlist` through; log `harnessAlias` to `convoy_events`.
+- `docs/worker.md:1` document optional worktree.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- `Task-write-manifesto.md` (doc task) with `harness: doc-writer` creates `docs/manifesto.md` via `write_file` tool without worktree directory under `/tmp/echodo-worker-worktrees`.
+- Code task `Task-fix-lint` still creates worktree per prior behavior.
+- `transition_convoy_status` `doc_review → published` succeeds; existing `pr_review → merged` still works.
+- `pnpm lint && pnpm type-check && pnpm --filter @tasks/worker test` pass.
+
+## Prompt

+- `packages/database/migrations/0015_*` via `pnpm db:generate`.
+- `packages/shared/src/worker/executor.ts` NEW — `WorkerExecutor {id, run(ctx, model):Promise<...>}`, `resolveHarnessForRole()` pure like `resolveModel` `packages/shared/src/model-routing/index.ts`.
+- `apps/worker/src/handle-job.ts:40` — replace hard `createMinimalSession` with `registry.get(harnessAlias).run(...)`; keep `MinimalSession` as `minimal` adapter.
+- `apps/web/server/routers/harnesses.ts` NEW — `list/create/update/delete/testHarness` (admin only, never return `auth` value, `test` does fetch `health` on endpoint with `Authorization: Bearer ${process.env[AUTH_ENV_VAR]}`).
+- `apps/web/app/(app)/[workspaceSlug]/settings/harnesses/page.tsx` NEW — table + add/edit dialog + test.
+- `apps/web/app/api/ag-ui/[workspace]/route.ts` NEW — POST ag-ui envelope, validate `workspace_id`, write `convoy_events`/`agent_runs`, enforce tenant fence.
+- `packages/database/src/schema/index.ts` exports.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- Migration applies `pnpm db:generate && pnpm db:migrate` locally (no drift).
+- `Settings → Harnesses` CRUD works; `Test` on `remote-ag-ui https://crew.example.com/ag-ui` with `HARNESS_AUTH_TOKEN` env shows latency or error detail, never leaks token to browser.
+- `resolveHarnessForRole(workspaceId, "role-implementer")` returns `crewai` when mapped, `minimal` fallback.
+- Worker dispatched `role-implementer` via `crewai` adapter still `claim_task`/`complete_task` and writes `harness_alias` to `convoy_events.harness_alias` + `agent_runs`.
+- `pnpm lint && pnpm type-check && pnpm test` pass.

+# Brief 4 — Plans tree (1w) — Epic 10
+
+## Goal
+

+
+## Files
+
+- `apps/web/server/routers/backlog.ts:29` — add `listTree` (returns hierarchical `Plan → Epic → Task` with `status/priority/repoPath`), `createPlan/createEpic/createTask` (`slug/title/bodyMarkdown/agent_prompt` → writes `.md` via `join(repoRoot, repoPath)` atomically `.tmp→rename`, then direct DB upsert or `syncMarkdownBacklogScan`), `updateTaskBody`, `getBacklogItem` already exists. Enforce slug `^[a-z0-9-]+$`, `workspace_id` fence, `updated_at` bump.
+- `apps/web/app/(app)/[workspaceSlug]/plans/page.tsx` NEW — tree component (collapsible `Radix Collapsible` + `ScrollArea`), status chips, search, `New Plan/Epic/Task` dialogs, `Start` button → calls `convoys.create` `apps/web/server/routers/convoys.ts:173` with `planSlug/epicSlug`.
+- Reuse `resolveWorkflowPrompt` preview in task detail drawer.
+- `docs/Glossary.md:50` hierarchy respected; `config/CursorSync.md:33` export allow-list preserved (web writes go through same export path).
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- `Plans` page shows `Plan-clarity → Epic-ai-tags → Task-local-tag-prompt [ready]` from DB without CLI after DB seed.
+- `New Task` dialog `title: Research prompt` `slug: research-prompt` creates `plans/Plan-clarity/Epic-ai-tags/Task-research-prompt.md` on disk + row in `markdown_backlog_items` visible after refresh without manual import.
+- `Start` on a `ready` task creates convoy `clarity-research-prompt` at `draft` and links `briefFiles: [repoPath]`.
+- `MCP create-backlog-item` brief 1 and web create produce same file format (round-trip parse test).
+- `pnpm lint && pnpm type-check` pass.

+You are `role-implementer` brief 4. Read `plans/README.md`, `packages/database/src/markdown-backlog/parse.ts`, `apps/web/server/routers/backlog.ts`, `docs/decisions/2026-08-25-second-brain-os-pivot.md`. Follow existing tRPC patterns `ai-models.ts`. Keep UI to `components/ui/*` + Tailwind.

+# Decision Log 2026-08-25 — Second Brain OS Pivot
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-25  
+**Participants:** solo operator + deep-dive analysis of Echodo (`tasks` repo) vs Grok Bot / OpenBot / Agents Squads / Agent Teams / OpenClaw  
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Scope:** Product positioning, roadmap, and harness architecture for remaining epics.
+
+## TL;DR
+
+Echodo stays **homelab dogfooded**, publishes as **open MIT self-hosted "Obsidian for agent crews"** — `docker compose up`, BYO LLMs (Ollama `11434` / MLX `8000` / NIM / LiteLLM), any harness via AG-UI/MCP. Do **not** chase Grok Bot SaaS ($300/mo Heavy) or clone LangChain/CrewAI/AutoGen frameworks. Win by being the file-first, gated control plane they lack.
+
+## Context
+
+Full deep dive 2026-08-25 covered:
+- What Echodo is: `tasks` repo `package.json:1`, `@tasks/*`, DB/domain `echodo`, `plans/Plan-*/Epic-*/Task-*.md` git SoT → `markdown_backlog_items` + `cursor_sync_mappings` → tRPC `19 routers` + MCP `claim_task/complete_task` + `model_providers/role_model_routes` + `convoy` state machine + `orchestrator` Redis tick + `worker` worktree+MinimalSession.
+- Current status: Epics 1-6 `done`, 7 `in_progress` (draft PR + live E2E missing), 8-12 `draft`. 14 migrations, `apps/worker` 4-tool allowlist, uncommitted checkpoint/worktree code.
+- Market: $6-17B orchestration 2026 → $38-121B 2035, 23-25% CAGR. Human-in-loop hybrid 18% ($1B). Grok Bot has no standalone price (bundled Heavy/Cursor Ultra). OpenClaw 347k stars > React in 60 days. LangChain 97-135k, CrewAI 57k, AutoGen maintenance → Microsoft Agent Framework.
+
+Examples walked: solo Maya `Clarity` offline notes + local tags (M4 Mac); small team Studio North `RouteMap` delivery planner (CrewAI crew + Nim). Both driven from web `Mission control` `apps/web/app/(app)/[workspaceSlug]/mission-control/page.tsx:12` or via MCP `claim_task` in Cursor/OpenCode.
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+### 1. Positioning: Open self-hosted second brain, not managed SaaS
+
+- **Internal tool first:** Run for self, fleet of personal projects, dogfood every bead via `claim_task → complete_task`.
+- **Publish as open self-hosted Obsidian** for agent crews: `git clone && cp .env.example .env && docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up` must work without CT102 IPs. BYO LLM headline.
+- **Monetize later as managed fleet** (SSE, copilot hosting) if `>1k stars or 50 self-hosters or 3 agencies` in 30 days post-publish. Not per-seat SaaS.
+
+Rejected: competing head-on with Grok Bot appliance; cloning LangChain/CrewAI (223M dl/mo ecosystem tax, `No native policy gate` gap already exists to fill).
+
+### 2. Harness-agnostic execution (the big change)
+
+- Add `WorkerAdapter` interface `packages/shared/src/worker/executor.ts` — `handleOrchestratorJob` `apps/worker/src/handle-job.ts:40` dispatches to `minimal | crewai | langgraph | remote-ag-ui (AG-UI)`.
+- Add `harness_providers` + `role_harness_routes` (mirror `model_providers` `docs/adr-model-routing.md:78`), `harness_type enum`, `auth_env_var` write-only like OpenBot.
+- Job spec `packages/shared/src/orchestrator/job.ts` adds `harnessAlias`. AG-UI endpoint `apps/web/app/api/ag-ui/[workspace]/route.ts`; MCP stays `apps/mcp-server/src/index.ts:12`.
+- One agent can author tasks (doc-writer), another harness implements them — `role-architect → claude-planning + langgraph`, `role-implementer → qwen-coder-mlx http://mac:8000/v1 + crewai`.
+
+### 3. Web-first, almost everything from UI
+
+Goal: never leave `echodo.stillwell.cloud`.
+
+- **Fleet:** new `/fleet` rollup across `workspace_id` + `connected_repos` + `convoy_events` SSE (Epic 9).
+- **Plans:** tree CRUD for `plans/*.md` `packages/database/src/markdown-backlog/sync.ts:38` via `backlog.createPlan/createEpic/createTask` + `Start → Convoy` (Epic 10). Replaces hand markdown + `pnpm import:markdown-backlog` loop.
+- **Run:** `CreateConvoyDialog` `apps/web/components/mission-control/create-convoy-dialog.tsx` → `convoys.create` `apps/web/server/routers/convoys.ts:173` → orchestrator fans out; gates `gateAction` `convoys.ts:237` + `gateCopilot` `convoys.ts:267` in same panel; history `agent_runs`/`worker_checkpoints`.
+- MCP remains shortcut for natural language ("OpenCode, add Epic with 3 tasks") via new `create-backlog-item` tool.
+
+### 4. Non-code support (book/course/research/SOPs)
+
+- Make worktree optional `apps/worker/src/git/worktree.ts:1` — doc tasks write straight to `docs/`/`plans/` no branch.
+- Make `allowlist.ts` per-harness — research harness allows search, doc harness allows no `pnpm`.
+- Add `doc_review→published` transition alongside `pr_review→merged` `packages/shared/src/convoy-lifecycle/state-machine.ts`.
+- Templates `Settings → Templates` `apps/web/app/(app)/[workspaceSlug]/settings/templates/page.tsx` for research pipeline/book without migration.
+
+### 5. What stays vs. what goes
+
+**Keep:** `workspace_id` tenancy `packages/database/src/schema/objects.ts:32`, `plans/` hierarchy `docs/Glossary.md:50`, markdown `contentHash` idempotency, `claim_task/complete_task` primitives `Plan-agent-coordination.md:12`, model routing `resolveModel` `docs/adr-model-routing.md:63`, gates/kanban `apps/web/app/(app)/[workspaceSlug]/mission-control/page.tsx:12`.
+
+**Add:** harness registry, Plans tree, Fleet rollup, `create-backlog-item`.
+
+**Not building now:** full Cursor API push/pull (`config/CursorSync.md:5` modes doc-only), LiteLLM required, per-user model overrides `adr-model-routing.md:354`.
+
+## Examples Consolidated
+
+- **Maya solo `Clarity`:** starts from web Plans "local tag prompt Ready" → `Start→Convoy` `clarity-tag-v1` → gate `convoy_review` → approve → worker `qwen-coder` + `tag-crew` worktree → checkpoint `toolHistory` → draft PR `feat(tags)` → `pr_review` → merged. Or same via Cursor `claim_task repoPath:plans/...` natural language.
+- **Studio North `RouteMap`:** Ana triages Fleet → sees `routemap-optimize-v2 pr_review 2d Carlos`, creates `Epic-driver-offline` in Plans; Ben claims via Cursor; Carlos gate `Request changes` via `Gate co-pilot` summary. `Ops copilot` answers "what needs me?".
+
+Both show markdown as token-cheap second brain `Plan-automation-foundation.md:222` "DB+UI are how agents query without dumping whole trees" — not Obsidian vault scan.
+
+## Roadmap Impact
+
+Updates `plans/Plan-automation-foundation/Plan-automation-foundation.md` — see "2026-08-25 pivot" section. Priorities v0.1 for second-brain OS: (1) MCP create item (0.5d), (2) optional worktree + per-harness allowlist (1d), (3) harness registry + WorkerAdapter (2-3d), (4) Plans tree (1w), (5) Fleet rollup. Epics 9/10 remain draft but now unblock non-code. Epic 11/12 unchanged.
+

+
+After each tool round (or every `WORKER_CHECKPOINT_EVERY_N_STEPS` rounds), the worker writes a row to `worker_checkpoints` (workspace-scoped): bounded `tool_history`, `files_touched` as **paths + content hashes only** (never API keys or full file bodies), plus `branch` / `worktree_path`.
+
+On re-dispatch with `resumeFromCheckpoint: true` (orchestrator stall detector), the worker:
+
+1. Loads the latest checkpoint for the open `agent_runs` row (filtered by `workspace_id`)
+2. Reuses the saved worktree when still present — no re-clone
+3. Continues the tool loop with prior steps summarized in the system prompt
+
+Mission control convoy detail shows checkpoint count and last checkpoint time.
+
 Provider API keys are read from env vars named in `model_providers.api_key_env_var` (same as web settings).

+# Task summary
+
+Extend stall detection beyond marking convoys `blocked`: detect zombie agent runs, optionally re-dispatch or nudge, and emit health events for mission control / fleet feed.
+
+## Description
+
+**Benchmark:** Autensa agent health monitoring with auto-nudge and convoy health panel. Echodo already has `ORCHESTRATOR_STALL_MINUTES` and `detectStalledConvoys` — this task adds **recovery actions** and observability.
+
+### Health states
+
+| State | Trigger | Default action |
+|-------|---------|----------------|
+| **Stalled** | No heartbeat on open `agent_run` for N minutes | Mark convoy `blocked`; surface in gate inbox sidebar |
+| **Zombie** | Run open but worker process gone | Re-enqueue job with `resume_from_checkpoint` when Epic 7 checkpoint task ships |
+| **Nudge** | Soft stall (configurable) | Log `convoy_events` health event; optional Redis ping to worker |
+
+### Config (env)
+
+- `ORCHESTRATOR_NUDGE_MINUTES` (optional, < stall threshold)
+- `ORCHESTRATOR_AUTO_REDISPATCH` (default false — opt-in for unattended dogfood)
+
+### Events
+
+Append `convoy_events` with `event_type: health` and metadata `{ reason, action, agent_run_id }` for activity feed (Epic 9).
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Epic 6 orchestrator service (shipped)
+- [Task-worker-checkpoint-resume](../Epic-apps-worker-v1/Task-worker-checkpoint-resume.md) for meaningful re-dispatch
+
+## Subtasks
+
+- [ ] Extend `detectStalledConvoys` with nudge vs hard-stall tiers
+- [ ] Optional re-dispatch path on zombie detection
+- [ ] `convoy_events` health event writer
+- [ ] Document in `docs/orchestrator.md`
+
+## Estimation
+
+M
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] Stalled run moves convoy to `blocked` and writes health event
+- [ ] With `ORCHESTRATOR_AUTO_REDISPATCH=1`, zombie run triggers new job enqueue
+- [ ] No unbounded re-dispatch loops (max retries per brief configurable)

+# Task summary
+
+Persist worker session progress at configurable checkpoints so a crashed or stalled job resumes from the last checkpoint instead of restarting the brief from scratch.
+
+## Description
+
+**Benchmark:** [Autensa mission-control](https://github.com/crshdn/mission-control) checkpoint & crash recovery — study their checkpoint restore API and per-task history UX; implement Echodo-native equivalents on Postgres.
+
+### Schema
+
+Add `worker_checkpoints` (or JSONB on `agent_runs`) workspace-scoped:
+
+- `agent_run_id`, `convoy_id`, `brief_id`
+- `checkpoint_seq`, `tool_history` (bounded), `files_touched`, `branch`, `worktree_path`
+- `occurred_at`
+
+### Worker behavior
+
+- Save checkpoint after each tool round (configurable via `WORKER_CHECKPOINT_EVERY_N_STEPS`, default 1).
+- On job start: if open run has latest checkpoint, resume tool loop from saved state.
+- Orchestrator stall detector can trigger re-dispatch with `resume_from_checkpoint: true`.
+
+### Operator surface (minimal v1)
+
+- Mission control detail panel: checkpoint count + last checkpoint time (full history deferred).
+
+## Dependencies
+

+- [x] Env docs in `docs/worker.md`
+
+## Estimation
+
+M
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] Kill worker mid-brief; re-dispatch resumes from last tool step without re-cloning

+
+# Task summary
+
+When an implementer `role_dispatch` job succeeds, open a **draft PR** on the connected forge (GitHub/Forgejo) from the worktree branch, and store PR URL/metadata on the convoy for Mission Control and Epic 8 webhooks.
+
+## Description
+
+Gap check (2026-08-12): `Task-worker-minimal-tool-loop` was marked `done` and checkpoints shipped, but `apps/worker` has **no** forge PR call. Epic 7 acceptance (“branch + PR draft output”) and Epic 8 dogfood both require this.
+
+### Behavior
+
+- After successful implementer session (and before worktree teardown): push branch if needed, call forge adapter `createPullRequest` (draft).
+- PR body includes convoy slug, brief id, echodo marker for webhooks (`echodo-convoy: <uuid>`).
+- Persist PR url / number on convoy content or `convoy_events` metadata.
+- Non-implementer roles skip PR creation.
+- Failures: log + mark run notes; do not silently claim success if PR was required.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Epic 3 forge adapters
+- Worktree + branch from worker tool loop
+
+## Subtasks
+
+- [ ] Resolve `repo_links` for convoy workspace
+- [ ] Push worktree branch with stored credentials pattern
+- [ ] `createPullRequest` draft via adapter
+- [ ] Write PR metadata for Mission Control detail panel
+- [ ] Document branch + marker convention in `docs/worker.md`
+
+## Estimation
+
+M
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] Successful implementer job produces a draft PR URL on a connected test repo
+- [ ] PR body contains convoy marker consumable by Epic 8
+- [ ] Planning-only roles do not open PRs
+- [ ] Mission control detail can show PR link when present

+# Task summary
+
+Operator verification checklist: prove Mission Control **Go** → orchestrator enqueue → worker (non-dry-run) completes one implementer brief with model/token metadata — **without** a Cursor coding session for that brief.
+
+## Description
+
+**Phase A1** from the owner vision playbook. Code for the loop and checkpoints exists; this task is the **proof on your deploy** (Coolify / local Redis), not more scaffolding.
+
+Mark this task `done` only when every acceptance criterion below is true in production or a documented staging environment.
+
+### Checklist (operator)
+
+1. `ORCHESTRATOR_DRY_RUN=0`, `WORKER_DRY_RUN=0`, `REDIS_URL` set on orchestrator + worker services
+2. Workspace has model aliases + role routes for `role-implementer`
+3. Connected repo (or monorepo) reachable from worker
+4. Create or reconcile a convoy with an implementer brief
+5. Advance to `ready` / trigger dispatch (Gate 1 approve if needed)
+6. Worker logs show job pickup + `complete_task` / `role_complete`
+7. Settings → Runs shows model alias + tokens for that run
+8. (Preferred) Draft PR exists after [Task-worker-draft-pr](./Task-worker-draft-pr.md)
+
+### Not this task
+
+- Building new worker features (use sibling tasks)
+- Forge webhooks (Epic 8)
+
+## Subtasks
+
+- [ ] Document exact Coolify/env values used (no secrets in git — names only)
+- [ ] Record convoy slug + run id in task notes or convoy_events
+- [ ] Confirm dry-run modes still work when Redis missing
+
+## Estimation
+
+S (ops)
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] One implementer brief completed unattended (no Cursor session for that brief)
+- [ ] `agent_runs` row has `model_alias` and token totals
+- [ ] Convoy progressed or logged `role_complete` visible in Mission Control detail
+- [ ] Orchestrator/worker were not in dry-run for the successful job

+
+## Description
+
+Core v1 scope from [Epic-apps-worker-v1](./Epic-apps-worker-v1.md). Builds on existing package skeleton (`handle-job.ts`, `minimal-session.ts`, allowlisted tools, worktree helpers).
+
+### Worker loop
+
+- `BLPOP` on `echodo:orchestrator:jobs` (same key as orchestrator).
+- Load brief path + role from job payload; resolve model via shared resolver.
+- `claim_task` on matching backlog item; run `read_file` / `write_file` / `grep` / `run_command` (allowlist: `pnpm lint`, `pnpm type-check`, `pnpm test`, `git status`, `git diff`).
+- `complete_task` with `modelAlias`, token totals, outcome.
+
+### Git
+
+- One worktree per brief under `WORKER_WORKTREE_BASE`.
+- Branch naming convention documented for Epic 8 PR linking.
+
+### PR output
+
+- Open draft PR via forge adapter from connected repo (Epic 3).
+
+## Subtasks
+
+- [ ] Wire live dequeue loop (non-dry-run) end-to-end
+- [ ] Role prompt = `.cursor/agents/role-*.md` + brief markdown path
+- [ ] Worktree create/teardown on success and failure
+- [ ] Draft PR via forge adapter when implementer completes
+- [ ] `docs/worker.md` matches shipped behavior
+
+## Estimation
+
+L
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] One implementer brief from `.convoys/` completes unattended on a connected repo
+- [ ] `complete_task` includes model alias + token totals
+- [ ] Failed runs tear down worktree and mark run `failed`
+- [ ] `WORKER_DRY_RUN=1` still exits cleanly without Redis

+# Task summary
+
+Let operators send **queued notes** and **direct messages** to an active worker session without waiting for a human gate.
+
+## Description
+
+**Benchmark:** Autensa Operator Chat — two delivery modes:
+
+| Mode | Delivery | Use case |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| **Queued note** | Injected at next checkpoint / tool round | "Use the existing auth middleware" |
+| **Direct message** | Prepended to very next model call | Urgent course correction |
+
+Echodo scope is convoy-scoped (not per arbitrary task board). Gate co-pilot (Epic 5) stays gate-focused; this extends intervention to `in_progress` convoys.
+
+### Data model
+
+`convoy_operator_messages` table (workspace-scoped):
+
+- `convoy_id`, `brief_id` (optional), `agent_run_id` (optional)
+- `delivery`: `queued` | `direct`
+- `body`, `author_user_id`, `delivered_at`, `created_at`
+
+### APIs
+
+- tRPC `convoys.postOperatorNote` (workspace member)
+- Worker polls or receives note via job metadata on each tool round
+
+### UI
+
+- Mission control detail panel: chat thread when convoy status is `in_progress`
+- Distinct from gate co-pilot (separate tab or section)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- [Task-worker-minimal-tool-loop](./Task-worker-minimal-tool-loop.md)
+- Epic 5 mission control detail panel (extend, do not rewrite)
+
+## Subtasks
+
+- [ ] Schema + tRPC mutations/list
+- [ ] Worker consumes queued notes between tool steps
+- [ ] Worker consumes direct messages before next `generateText`
+- [ ] Mission control UI thread for `in_progress` convoys
+
+## Estimation
+
+M
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] Operator posts queued note; worker sees it on next tool round
+- [ ] Direct message arrives before next model call when run is active
+- [ ] Messages are workspace-scoped and auditable in convoy detail

+# Task summary
+
+**Repo Setup** tab on connected repos: verify a remote is automation-ready before orchestrator/worker dispatch (git access, default branch, CI permissions, required secrets).
+
+## Description
+
+**Benchmark:** Autensa v2.5.1 Repo Setup tab — preflight checks with in-UI fixes where the forge API allows. Echodo adapts this to multitenant `repo_links` and forge adapters (Forgejo + GitHub minimum).
+
+### Preflight checks
+
+| Check | Pass criteria |
+|-------|---------------|
+| Git clone | Shallow clone with stored credentials |
+| Default branch | API-detected default matches stored value |
+| Forge API | PR list/create permission |
+| CI visibility | Latest workflow run status readable |
+| Actions token (GitHub) | `contents` + `pull-requests` write if applicable |
+| Required secrets | Names present (values never stored in Echodo DB) |
+
+### UI
+
+- Settings → Connected repos → per-repo **Setup** tab
+- Traffic-light checklist with expandable failure reasons
+- Block convoy **Go** when critical checks fail (soft warning vs hard block — configurable per workspace)
+
+### Fixes (where API supports)
+
+- GitHub: suggest/set workflow token permissions; link to docs for secret creation (do not write secret values through Echodo — operator pastes in forge UI)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Epic 3 connected repos (shipped)
+- Epic 6 orchestrator should read preflight status before enqueue
+
+## Subtasks
+
+- [ ] `repoPreflightStatus` zod schema in `packages/shared`
+- [ ] Forge adapter methods: `getDefaultBranch`, `listWorkflowRuns`, `getRepoPermissions`
+- [ ] tRPC `connectedRepos.runPreflight`
+- [ ] Settings UI Setup tab
+- [ ] Orchestrator skips dispatch when repo link `preflight_ok` is false
+
+## Estimation
+
+L
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] Repo with wrong default branch shows failing check with detected branch name
+- [ ] Private repo without token shows auth failure (no silent pass)
+- [ ] Preflight re-runnable without reconnecting repo
+- [ ] No forge secret values persisted in Postgres

 # Epic objective
 
-Top-level **fleet** view: all `convoys-<repo>` workspaces (or connected repos) in one screen. Roll up convoys by status, gate inbox count, active `agent_runs`, recent spend by model alias.
+Top-level **fleet** home: all workspaces / connected repos in one screen. Roll up gates needing attention, active convoys and `agent_runs`, recent releases, and (when Epic 11 lands) completion thumbnails.
 
-Answers: “What needs me across all projects?”
+This is Phase B of the owner cockpit vision — “what’s happening across my projects since I was last here?”
+
+Live **activity feed** (SSE) from `convoy_events`.
 
 ## In scope / out of scope
 
 **In scope**
 
-- Route `/fleet` or home dashboard for operator account.
+- Route `/fleet` or authenticated landing dashboard.
 - Cross-workspace tRPC (membership-scoped).
-- Links into per-repo mission control (Epic 5).
+- Cards per workspace/repo: gate count, running convoys, recent `released` / merged.
+- Links into per-repo mission control and (later) Plans.
+- SSE activity stream (workspace + fleet scope).
+- Placeholder slots for completion summaries (Epic 11) without blocking v1.
 
 **Out of scope**
 
 - Multi-tenant fleet across unrelated customers (operator's own repos only for v1).
+- Autopilot research/ideation feeds.
+- Full Plans tree (Epic 10).
 
 ## Dependencies
 
 - Epic 4 (queryable convoy status).
 - Epic 5 (gate semantics).
+- Epic 7 live dogfood preferred so “running” is meaningful.
 
 ## Acceptance criteria
 
-- [ ] Operator with two connected repos sees combined “3 awaiting approval” badge.
+- [ ] Operator with two connected repos sees combined “N awaiting approval” badge.
+- [ ] New convoy event appears in activity feed without page refresh.

+# Task summary
+
+Real-time activity stream from `convoy_events` for mission control and fleet dashboard — research/build/gate/health events without full page refresh.
+
+## Description
+
+**Benchmark:** Autensa live activity feed (SSE). Echodo already appends `convoy_events` for role completion, transitions, and (future) health events — this task exposes them as a **subscription surface**.
+
+### Transport
+
+- Prefer Next.js Route Handler `GET /api/convoys/activity/stream` with SSE (workspace-scoped via session)
+- Alternative: tRPC subscription if infra already supports it — pick one, document in ADR addendum
+
+### Event types surfaced
+
+- `role_complete`, `transition`, `health`, `gate_action`
+- Payload: `convoy_id`, `title`, `event_type`, `role`, `outcome`, `occurred_at`, `estimated_cost_usd` (when present)
+
+### UI
+
+- Mission control: collapsible **Activity** strip (last 20 events for current workspace)
+- Fleet dashboard: global feed with product/repo filter
+- Fallback: React Query poll every 30s when SSE unavailable
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Epic 4 `convoy_events` (shipped)
+- [Task-orchestrator-auto-nudge](../Epic-apps-orchestrator/Task-orchestrator-auto-nudge.md) for health events (soft — feed works without it)
+
+## Subtasks
+
+- [ ] SSE route with workspace membership check
+- [ ] `convoy_events` tail query + fan-out on insert (LISTEN/NOTIFY or short poll server-side)
+- [ ] `ActivityFeed` client component
+- [ ] Rate limit / connection cap per user
+
+## Estimation
+
+M
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] New `role_complete` event appears in mission control within 5s without refresh
+- [ ] User cannot subscribe to another workspace's events
+- [ ] Connection closes cleanly on navigation
