## Task Log

### 2026-06-28 - Session Start

**Environment verified**:

* [x] Prerequisites confirmed with `check-prereqs.sh --json --env`
* [x] Tools available with `check-prereqs.sh --json --tools "node,npm"`
* [x] Directory structure ready
* [x] Session package context resolved as cross-cutting from `Package: null`

**Environment notes**:

* Prerequisite checker reported npm 11.16.0 and Node v24.14.0 available. The project convention and session spec name Node 26.2.0+ as the CI baseline, so focused local checks will be treated as the implementation gate and any engine failure will be resolved before affected tasks are marked complete.

* UI product-surface check: N/A - baseline server route test only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

***

### Task T003 - Extend agent template protocol defaults with optional known-local executable metadata

**Started**: 2026-06-28 22:46 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 22:59 **Duration**: 13 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `AgentTemplateExecutableDefault` and `AGENT_TEMPLATE_EXECUTABLE_DEFAULT_SOURCE_VALUES` for source-owned local template defaults.
* Parsed default payloads through `parseTaskQueueExecutablePayload` so template executable defaults reuse the bounded queue executable contract.
* Kept raw-output blocking active through the existing recursive template blocked-field collector.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/agentTemplates.ts` - added executable default types and parser wiring.
* `packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts` - covered safe Git executable defaults and blocked raw output fields.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts packages/protocol/tests/orchestrationCommandCenter.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.
  * Evidence: 43 protocol tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace packages/protocol run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - protocol TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/protocol`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - shared protocol contract only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: executable template defaults now reuse `TaskQueueExecutablePayload` instead of adding a parallel executable shape (`packages/protocol/src/agentTemplates.ts`).
* Trust boundary enforcement: template parsing rejects nested raw output fields before accepting executable defaults (`packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts`).

***

### Task T004 - Extend channel command protocol metadata for safe executable draft references and local approval state

**Started**: 2026-06-28 22:46 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 22:59 **Duration**: 13 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added channel local approval state, conversion target, and executable draft source vocabularies.
* Added compact `localApproval` and `executableDraft` fields to channel command REST/event DTOs.
* Added parsers that validate local executable draft family/kind alignment and block raw executable draft fields.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/orchestrationCommandCenter.ts` - added channel approval/draft types, validators, and parser fields.
* `packages/protocol/tests/orchestrationCommandCenter.test.ts` - covered vocabulary, valid metadata parsing, mismatched family/kind rejection, and raw field rejection.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts packages/protocol/tests/orchestrationCommandCenter.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.

  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/protocol`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - shared protocol contract only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: channel command rows/events now carry explicit safe approval and executable-draft metadata instead of overloading summary text.
* Trust boundary enforcement: executable draft refs reject raw executable fields and mismatched family/kind combinations before consumption.

***

### Task T005 - Tighten queue executable source parsing for template and channel sources without accepting blocked raw fields

**Started**: 2026-06-28 22:46 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 22:59 **Duration**: 13 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `TaskQueueExecutableSourceMetadata` and `TASK_QUEUE_LOCAL_EXECUTABLE_SOURCE_VALUES`.
* Added `parseTaskQueueExecutableSourceMetadata` to require local approval and reject non-local `webhook` executable sources.
* Covered blocked raw source metadata fields with protocol tests.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/taskQueue.ts` - added local executable source metadata types and parser.
* `packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts` - covered allowed template/channel sources, rejected webhook source, and blocked raw payload fields.

* UI product-surface check: N/A - shared protocol contract only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: raw webhook source metadata is not accepted as executable local queue source metadata.
* Contract alignment: executable source metadata is bounded and separate from full executable payload parsing.

***

### Task T006 - Export new protocol symbols through the package barrel

**Started**: 2026-06-28 22:59 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 22:59 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Verified `packages/protocol/src/index.ts` already wildcard-exports `agentTemplates.ts`, `taskQueue.ts`, and `orchestrationCommandCenter.ts`.
* Added tests that import the new template and task-queue executable symbols from `../src/index.js`, proving the barrel path exposes them.
* Did not add duplicate explicit barrel exports because the existing package pattern is module-wide wildcard export.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts` - imports new protocol symbols through the package barrel.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts packages/protocol/tests/orchestrationCommandCenter.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.

### Task T007 - Add protocol tests for executable template defaults and blocked raw planning fields

**Started**: 2026-06-28 22:46 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 22:59 **Duration**: 13 minutes

**Notes**:

* Extended `packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts` to parse a source-owned template executable default.
* Added rejection coverage for nested raw output fields inside executable template defaults.
* Added queue executable source metadata coverage for local template/channel sources and rejected webhook/raw payload source metadata.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts` - added executable template default, raw field, barrel export, and executable source metadata coverage.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts packages/protocol/tests/orchestrationCommandCenter.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.
  * Evidence: 43 protocol tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace packages/protocol run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - protocol TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/protocol`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - protocol test coverage only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: tests assert raw nested output/source fields are rejected before executable defaults or source metadata are accepted.

***

### Task T008 - Add protocol tests for channel executable references and blocked webhook raw fields

**Started**: 2026-06-28 22:46 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 22:59 **Duration**: 13 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added channel local approval and executable draft vocabulary assertions.

* Added parser tests for safe guarded proposal draft refs, mismatched family/kind rejection, raw executable draft field rejection, and raw webhook body rejection.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/tests/orchestrationCommandCenter.test.ts` - added channel approval/draft parser and blocked raw field coverage.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/orchestration.test.ts packages/protocol/tests/orchestrationCommandCenter.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.
  * Evidence: 43 protocol tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace packages/protocol run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - protocol TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/protocol`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - protocol test coverage only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: tests assert webhook raw bodies and raw executable draft command fields do not parse as safe channel command metadata.
* Contract alignment: tests assert channel executable draft family/kind pairs must match a known local executor family.

***

### Task T009 - Seed bounded executable defaults only on source-owned local templates with known local executors

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:00 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:05 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Seeded `template_reviewer` with a source-owned local Git status executable default.
* Kept the default bounded to the existing local Git executor family and non-mutating `status` operation.
* Added nested clone handling so executable defaults are not shared by reference across manager responses.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/managers/agentTemplates.ts` - added the reviewer executable default and clone support.
* `apps/server/tests/templatePlanningContext.test.ts` - asserted preview preservation of the seeded executable default.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/templatePlanningContext.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 4 focused template planning tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server template seed only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: the seeded default uses the shared Git queue executable payload shape.
* Trust boundary enforcement: the server owns the executable default; it is not sourced from a remote or client body.

***

### Task T010 - Include template executable defaults in queue preview only after parser validation and safe source attribution

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:00 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:05 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Preview construction now validates template executable defaults with `parseTaskQueueExecutablePayload`.
* Preview construction now validates local template executable source metadata with `parseTaskQueueExecutableSourceMetadata`.
* Queue source attribution now includes a safe template source ref before planning and memory refs.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/lib/templatePlanningContext.ts` - validates and preserves template executable defaults in preview requests.
* `apps/server/tests/templatePlanningContext.test.ts` - asserts executable preservation and template source attribution.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/templatePlanningContext.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 4 focused template planning tests passed.

  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server preview generation only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: preview payloads are parser-validated before they enter queue create requests.
* Trust boundary enforcement: preview source metadata proves local template approval and excludes webhook executable sources.

***

### Task T011 - Parse template queue intent without trusting unsafe executable input from clients

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:00 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:05 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a template route validation guard for client-supplied executable, executable payload, queue executable, local approval, and command text fields.
* The route body still accepts bounded template id, title, summary, idempotency key, sources, and memory filters.
* Server-owned template defaults remain the only source for executable preview/create payloads.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/lib/orchestrationValidation.ts` - added unsafe template executable input rejection.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/templatePlanningContext.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 4 focused template planning tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server request validation only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: clients cannot supply template executable payloads or approval claims to preview/create routes.
* Failure path completeness: unsafe executable fields return a bounded request validation error.

***

### Task T012 - Preserve executable template defaults through preview and create routes with duplicate-trigger prevention while in-flight

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:00 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:05 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Template preview and create both use `buildTemplateQueuePreview`, so the validated executable default is preserved across preview and queue creation.
* Added preview in-flight guarding with the existing `runMutation` lock pattern.
* Existing create route lock continues to guard duplicate template queue creation by template and idempotency key.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/routes/orchestration.ts` - added preview in-flight lock and preserved response shape.
* `apps/server/src/lib/templatePlanningContext.ts` - shared executable preview request builder used by both preview and create.
* `apps/server/tests/templatePlanningContext.test.ts` - asserted executable preview request preservation.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/templatePlanningContext.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 4 focused template planning tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server route behavior only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: preview now uses an in-flight lock, matching create route behavior.
* Contract alignment: preview and create share one server-owned request builder so executable defaults cannot drift between routes.

***

### Task T013 - Reject or downgrade untrusted channel executable and approval claims with schema-validated input and explicit error mapping

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:06 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:15 **Duration**: 9 minutes

**Notes**:

* Removed remote `queue` conversion from webhook intake validation.
* Added explicit remote executable/approval claim rejection for executable payloads, local approvals, dispatch/execute flags, and command text.
* Hardened manager-level intake so direct `conversion: "queue"` callers are downgraded to attention rather than queue creation.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/lib/channelCommandValidation.ts` - rejects remote executable/approval claims and remote queue conversion.
* `apps/server/src/managers/channelCommandManager.ts` - downgrades direct queue intake conversion to attention.
* `apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts` - covers rejected remote executable and queue conversion claims.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.
  * Evidence: 8 focused channel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`

* UI product-surface check: N/A - server validation only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: remote webhook bodies cannot claim local approval or executable queue creation.
* Failure path completeness: remote executable claims return bounded validation errors without echoing raw command text.

***

### Task T014 - Add local operator-approved channel conversion to review or executable queue tasks with idempotency protection and no automatic dispatch

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:06 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:15 **Duration**: 9 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `convertStored` on `ChannelCommandManager` for explicit local conversion of a stored command.
* Review-task conversion creates a non-executable local queue entry sourced from the channel command.
* Executable-task conversion creates a queued Git status executable payload; it does not dispatch the queue task.
* Conversion uses stable idempotency keys and updates channel command local approval metadata with the created queue id.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/managers/channelCommandManager.ts` - added local conversion method, queue source attribution, executable payload, and local approval metadata handling.
* `apps/server/src/managers/orchestrationCommandCenter.ts` - added channel command lookup by id.
* `apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts` - covered review and executable local conversion without dispatch.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts`

  * Evidence: 8 focused channel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server manager behavior only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: conversion queue creation uses stable idempotency keys.
* Trust boundary enforcement: executable queue payload is server-owned and created only after local conversion.

***

### Task T015 - Wire channel conversion routes and broadcasts with duplicate-trigger prevention while in-flight

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:06 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:15 **Duration**: 9 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `POST /channel-commands/:id/convert` for local review-task and executable-queue-task conversion.
* Added route-level in-flight duplicate guard using command id, conversion target, and idempotency key.
* Conversion emits both channel command updates and task queue updates after successful local conversion.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/routes/channelCommands.ts` - added conversion route, lock handling, and broadcast emission.
* `apps/server/src/lib/channelCommandValidation.ts` - added conversion route body parser.
* `apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts` - covered route conversion, broadcasts, and duplicate-safe replay behavior.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.
  * Evidence: 8 focused channel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server route behavior only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: conversion route rejects concurrent duplicate conversion requests while in flight.
* Contract alignment: conversion broadcasts reuse existing channel and task queue event shapes.

***

### Task T016 - Let guarded channel proposals reference executable drafts while approval still flows through capability checks and truthful unavailable states

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:06 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:15 **Duration**: 9 minutes

**Notes**:

* Guarded channel proposal creation now updates the stored channel command with pending local approval metadata.
* The command records a safe executable draft ref for Git status tied to the guarded proposal id.
* No queue entry is created and no dispatch happens during guarded proposal intake.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/managers/channelCommandManager.ts` - added guarded executable draft metadata on proposal creation.
* `apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts` - asserted guarded proposal draft refs without executor-ready execution.
* `apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts` - asserted guarded route responses include safe executable draft refs.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.
  * Evidence: 8 focused channel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server manager/route metadata only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI changed.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: guarded proposal intake references a server-owned draft only and does not trust remote executable payloads.
* Contract alignment: draft metadata uses protocol-owned `executableDraft` fields and remains compact.

***

### Task T017 - Add typed web API calls and response validation for executable template previews and channel conversion mutations

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:16 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:34 **Duration**: 18 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a typed `convertChannelCommand` web client for local review-task and executable-queue-task conversion.
* Added response validation that requires a parsed channel command, local conversion target, safe task queue mutation response, duplicate flag, changes object, and generated timestamp.
* Kept executable template preview validation on the existing `TaskQueueCreateRequest` validator, which rejects invalid `preview.executable` through `parseTaskQueueExecutablePayload`.
* Stopped serializing remote webhook `conversion` intent from the web client body so local conversion remains an explicit operator action.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/orchestrationApi.ts` - added local channel conversion request/response types, mutation client, response guard, and webhook-body trust boundary cleanup.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/web run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - web TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc -b --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/web`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - API client and validator only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no rendered UI changed for this task.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: remote webhook POST bodies no longer carry conversion intent, while local conversion uses a separate typed mutation path.
* Contract alignment: local conversion responses are parser-checked before reaching store/UI state.

***

### Task T018 - Store executable preview and channel conversion state with reset on re-entry and stale-detail cleanup

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:34 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:39 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Preserved executable template preview payloads in the existing template queue preview state.
* Added command-center channel conversion response state keyed by channel command id.
* Cleared stale conversion responses when channel snapshots or websocket events remove the referenced command.
* Preserved existing selected-detail cleanup and mutation-key cleanup behavior for channel collection refreshes.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/store/useGameStore.ts` - added channel conversion state, setter, and stale cleanup on channel hydration/events.
* `apps/web/tests/orchestrationStore.test.ts` - covered executable preview storage and stale channel conversion cleanup.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/orchestrationStore.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 7 store reducer tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/web run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - web TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc -b --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/web`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - store state only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no rendered UI changed for this task.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State cleanup: channel conversion detail is pruned when the backing channel command is no longer present.
* Contract alignment: conversion state stores the typed web API response instead of parallel ad hoc fields.

### Task T019 - Update template UI labels, disabled states, focus handling, and in-flight prevention for executable preview/create actions

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:39 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:40 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Template queue actions now label review-task and executable-local-task paths based on the selected template or current preview.
* Preview and create buttons share in-flight disabled state so duplicate preview/create actions cannot be triggered concurrently.
* Queue preview panels are focusable and receive focus after preview state updates.
* Preview metadata surfaces executable-local-task status without exposing raw command text.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/orchestration/TemplateWorkbench.tsx` - updated executable labels, in-flight disabling, preview focus handling, and executable preview metadata.
* `apps/web/tests/TemplateWorkbench.test.tsx` - covered executable labels, disabled states, and in-flight prevention.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/TemplateWorkbench.test.tsx`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 3 TemplateWorkbench tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/web run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - web TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc -b --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/web`.
* UI product-surface check: PASS - `TemplateWorkbench` rendered through Testing Library with executable task labels and no debug/runtime/scaffolding copy in the normal component surface.
* UI craft check: PASS - retained existing compact panel hierarchy, focus outlines, disabled opacity, and product labels while adding executable-specific task copy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: preview and create controls disable together while either template queue mutation is in flight.
* Accessibility: preview state moves focus to a focusable preview panel after it changes.

### Task T020 - Update channel UI labels, disabled states, focus handling, and in-flight prevention for record/review/executable/execute actions

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:40 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:42 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Channel command cards now expose separate controls for recorded status, review-task conversion, executable-local-task conversion, and explicit queue execution.
* Review and executable conversion actions use `channel:convert:<id>:<target>` in-flight keys and disable while pending.
* Execute is enabled only when a safe executable queue id maps to a queued local queue entry.
* Threaded local conversion and execute handlers through `OrchestrationShell`, `OrchestrationTabs`, and `CommandCenterPanes`.
* Added channel approval/draft metadata to server websocket event entries so REST and live updates expose the same safe metadata.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/orchestration/ChannelCommandPanel.tsx` - added action controls, disabled labels, queue lookup, and execute gating.
* `apps/web/src/components/orchestration/CommandCenterPanes.tsx` - passed channel conversion, queue entries, in-flight keys, and execute dispatch to the panel.
* `apps/web/src/components/orchestration/OrchestrationTabs.tsx` - threaded channel conversion props.
* `apps/web/src/components/orchestration/OrchestrationShell.tsx` - added local conversion handler, conversion state storage, queue refresh, and command-center refresh.
* `apps/web/src/lib/commandCenterUi.ts` - exposed safe channel approval/draft labels and queue ids for UI gating.
* `apps/server/src/managers/orchestrationCommandCenter.ts` - included local approval and executable draft refs in channel websocket event rows.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/ChannelCommandPanel.test.tsx`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 4 ChannelCommandPanel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/web run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - web TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc -b --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/web`.
* UI product-surface check: PASS - `ChannelCommandPanel` rendered through Testing Library with product action labels and no raw payload, command text, or debug copy.
* UI craft check: PASS - replaced a whole-card button with a selectable title plus separate focused controls, avoiding nested interactive elements and preserving compact card hierarchy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: review and executable conversion buttons disable on target-specific in-flight keys.
* Trust boundary enforcement: execute remains disabled until a stored executable draft has a matching local queue entry.

### Task T021 - Update ChannelCommandPanel coverage for record, review task, executable local task, execute, offline, and disabled labels

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:42 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:42 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Expanded channel panel coverage for recorded status, local review conversion, executable local conversion, and explicit execute.
* Added offline disabled assertions for review/executable conversion controls.
* Added in-flight label coverage for executable conversion.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/ChannelCommandPanel.test.tsx` - added action, offline, and in-flight coverage for channel command local task controls.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/ChannelCommandPanel.test.tsx`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 4 ChannelCommandPanel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/web run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - web TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc -b --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/web`.
* UI product-surface check: PASS - component tests render product-facing channel action labels only.
* UI craft check: PASS - tests assert action accessibility names and disabled states for the compact channel card layout.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Test coverage: local conversion and execute controls now have assertions for enabled, disabled, offline, and in-flight states.

### Task T022 - Update OrchestrationPanel coverage for template executable preview/create and channel duplicate in-flight behavior

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:43 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:47 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated orchestration panel template fixtures to include the source-owned Git status executable default.
* Updated template interaction coverage to use the executable preview label.
* Added a pending channel conversion test that confirms a second executable conversion click is blocked while the first local mutation is in flight.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/OrchestrationPanel.test.tsx` - added executable template fixtures and channel conversion duplicate in-flight coverage.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/OrchestrationPanel.test.tsx`
  * Result: PASS - 1 test file passed.
  * Evidence: 22 OrchestrationPanel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/web run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - web TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc -b --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/web`.
* UI product-surface check: PASS - full orchestration panel test renders executable template and channel conversion labels without debug/runtime payload text.
* UI craft check: PASS - orchestration-level interactions preserve existing tab and panel ergonomics while exercising the new executable task controls.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: integration coverage confirms the shell-level channel conversion mutation key blocks duplicate executable conversion requests while pending.

### Task T023 - Add server tests for webhook no-auto-execute, local conversion, guarded proposal references, and duplicate replay without re-execution

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:06 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:48 **Duration**: 42 minutes

**Notes**:

* Server route tests now assert generic webhook intake records attention-only state until local conversion is requested.
* Local conversion route coverage asserts executable queue creation remains queued and duplicate replay does not create another queue item.
* GitHub guarded proposal coverage asserts safe executable draft references and rejected raw/executable remote claims.
* Re-ran focused route/manager coverage after adding websocket event metadata for approval and draft refs.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts` - added webhook no-auto-execute, local conversion, guarded draft, raw field rejection, and duplicate replay coverage.
* `apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts` - added manager-level local conversion and guarded draft assertions.
* `apps/server/src/managers/orchestrationCommandCenter.ts` - included approval/draft metadata in channel event rows for live updates.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npx vitest run apps/server/tests/channelCommandManager.test.ts apps/server/tests/channelCommandRoutes.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - 2 test files passed.
  * Evidence: 8 focused server channel tests passed.
* Command/check: `npm --workspace apps/server run typecheck`
  * Result: PASS - server TypeScript typecheck completed with no errors.
  * Evidence: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0 for `@factionos/server`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - server route/manager tests only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no rendered UI changed for this task.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: route tests assert remote webhook bodies cannot claim executable payloads, local approval, raw payloads, or remote queue conversion.
* Duplicate action prevention: route tests assert replayed delivery conversion does not create another executable queue item.

***

### Task T024 - Add browser evidence for generated template or channel executable task dispatch result

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:52 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added Playwright fixture coverage for a validated channel command that is converted into a local Git status executable queue task.
* The browser test dispatches the generated channel queue task and verifies the completed Git status summary in the queue row.
* Assertions confirm raw command text, stdout, and diff payloads are absent from the browser surface.

**Files Changed**:

* `tests/e2e/orchestration-command-center.e2e.ts` - added channel conversion/dispatch fixture state, routes, queue entry helpers, and browser evidence test.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `npm run test:e2e -- --project=app-desktop tests/e2e/orchestration-command-center.e2e.ts -g "converts a channel command into an executable queue task and dispatches it"`
  * Result: PASS - 1 Playwright test passed.
  * Evidence: app-desktop browser flow converted the channel command, dispatched `queue_channel_*`, and verified sanitized Git execution result text.
* UI product-surface check: PASS - browser test asserts generated channel queue task dispatch result in the normal orchestration panel without raw payload/debug copy.
* UI craft check: PASS - browser test exercises existing Federation and Campaigns tab flow with visible action labels and queue result layout.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: browser evidence confirms generated channel executable dispatch shows summarized Git evidence only, not raw command output.

***

### Task T025 - Run focused checks, workspace typechecks, ASCII/LF validation, and whitespace validation

**Started**: 2026-06-28 23:52 **Completed**: 2026-06-28 23:54 **Duration**: 2 minutes
