Re-cut of #463 after back-merge #464 cleared the merge-base drift. Full PR list (17 fixes since v0.7.21):

PR Description
#427 wire alert.* executors + startup validator
#428 stop world.state.# leak from ceremony snapshots
#429 rollcall skill source
#431 wire ceremony skill executors
#432 wire 5 pr-remediator skills
#433 register protomaker A2A agent
#434 drop overscoped subscribesTo from protomaker
#435 rename web_search → searxng_search in ava.yaml
#436 disable fleet_agent_stuck loop (mitigation)
#451 disable 4 more action.* loops (mitigation)
#452 per-action cooldown infrastructure (closes #437)
#454 route 4 ceremonies, disable 3 broken
#455 pre-dispatch target registry guard (closes #444)
#456 honor enabled:false on initial ceremony load (closes #453)
#457 wrap subscribe-spy push callbacks to return void (CI green)
#460 filter outcomes from synthetic actors (closes #459)
#462 agent card advertises canonical A2A endpoint (closes #461)

All landed and verified live on :dev for 24+ hours. Discord ops silent for the duration (cooldown + registry guard holding).

HITL-gated per protocol — operator approval required. Do not auto-merge.

Note: pr-remediator's auto-close-on-decomposable misfired on the original #463 (filed as #465). Code fix not yet merged, so this re-cut is at risk of being auto-closed AGAIN if a new conflict surfaces while it's open. Mitigation: assuming the back-merge cleaned everything, this should be conflict-free at open time.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Release Notes

  • New Features

    • Action cooldown support: Actions can now define per-action throttling windows to prevent excessive repeated execution.
    • New environment variables for A2A agent discovery: WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL and WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST control externally-advertised agent endpoint URLs.
    • Agent targeting validation: Dispatch failures now occur when action targets reference non-existent agents.
    • Fleet health insights: System actors now reported separately from registered agents in health snapshots.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Ceremony state updates no longer leak into world-state message topics, preventing false goal evaluations.
    • Malformed world-state payloads are now silently ignored; goals no longer report spurious violations.
    • Fixed selector validation to detect broken goal selectors at startup.
  • Documentation

    • Updated environment variable examples and A2A agent-card resolution logic.
    • Ceremony disabling: Several ceremonies with missing executor skills are now disabled by default.
  • Configuration

    • Added action cooldown values across all GOAP actions.
    • Refined ceremony skill targets to specific agents.
    • Updated agent tools configuration.

Breaking: external agents (Quinn, protoPen) whose cards declare the
old URI will stop matching the registry until they update. Filed on
Quinn to update her card.

…ls (#411)

Two changes:

1. Replace the basic `web_search` tool (5 results, hardcoded engines)
   with `searxng_search` — adapted from rabbit-hole.io's full-surface
   SearXNG integration. New capabilities:
   - Category routing: general, news, science, it
   - Time range filtering: day, week, month, year
   - Bang syntax: !wp (Wikipedia), !scholar, !gh (GitHub)
   - Infoboxes, direct answers, suggestions in response
   - Configurable max_results (default 10, was 5)

   Updated in both bus-tools.ts (@protolabsai/sdk pattern) and
   deep-agent-executor.ts (LangChain pattern).

2. Give Ava three fleet health tools she was missing:
   - get_ci_health — CI success rates across repos
   - get_pr_pipeline — open PRs, conflicts, staleness
   - get_incidents — security/ops incidents

   Ava can now answer fleet health questions directly instead of
   always delegating to Quinn.

Ava's tool count: 10 → 13. Tool rename: web_search → searxng_search
(greenfield, no backward compat alias).

protoAgent is the new GitHub Template repo that replaces per-agent
A2A bootstrapping. Registers it as an active dev project owned by
Quinn, matching the shape of existing entries. Plane / GitHub
webhook / Discord provisioning remain TODO — those integrations
aren't configured in this deployment, so the onboard plugin
skipped them.

Ava agent audit + overhaul:
- Tools: 10 → 22 (direct observation, propose_config_change, incident reporting)
- Skills: 3 → 7 (debug_ci_failures, fleet_incident_response, downshift_models, investigate_orphaned_skills)
- System prompt rewritten: self-improvement instructions, escalation policy, GOAP-dispatch playbook

…-approve (#417)

Two root causes prevented PRs from being auto-merged:

1. Dispatch gap: tier_0 short-circuit in ActionDispatcherPlugin completed
   all actions immediately without dispatching to agent.skill.request.
   Every action in actions.yaml is tier_0, so the fireAndForget path
   (which publishes the skill request) was unreachable dead code.
   Fix: tier_0 now falls through when meta.fireAndForget is set.

2. Approval gap: readyToMerge requires reviewState=approved, but
   auto-approve only covered dependabot/renovate/promote:/chore(deps.
   Human PRs, release PRs (chore(release), and github-actions PRs
   all lacked approved reviews and sat indefinitely.
   Fix: added app/github-actions to authors, chore(release, chore:,
   docs( to safe title prefixes.

Additionally, PrRemediatorPlugin now self-dispatches remediation on
every world.state.updated tick — checking for readyToMerge, dirty,
failingCi, and changesRequested PRs directly from cached domain data.
This removes the dependency on GOAP dispatch reaching the plugin via
pr.remediate.* topics (which were never published in production after
Arc 1.4 removed meta.topic routing).

…ss fleet (#419)

Adds a github_issues domain that polls /repos/{repo}/issues?state=open
for all managed projects and classifies by label (critical, bug,
enhancement). Three GOAP goals enforce issue hygiene:

  - issues.zero_critical (critical severity, max: 0)
  - issues.zero_bugs (high severity, max: 0)
  - issues.total_low (medium severity, max: 5)

Each goal has a matching alert action and a triage dispatch action
that invokes Ava's new issue_triage skill. The skill instructs Ava
to resolve, convert to board features, delegate, or close issues
with rationale — driving toward zero open issues across all repos.

Domain polls every 5 minutes (issue velocity is low, GitHub rate
limits are a concern with 6+ repos).

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter

…) (#427)

Closes the structural gap where 6+ tier_0 fire-and-forget alert skills had
no registered executor, causing SkillDispatcherPlugin to log "No executor
found" and silently drop the dispatch on every GOAP planning cycle.

- AlertSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors for all 24 bare
  alert.* actions in workspace/actions.yaml. Each translates the dispatch
  into a structured message.outbound.discord.alert event consumed by the
  existing WorldEngineAlertPlugin webhook routing.
- validate-action-executors.ts cross-checks the loaded ActionRegistry
  against the live ExecutorRegistry at startup. Surfaces every gap as a
  HIGH-severity Discord alert (goal platform.skills_unwired) and a loud
  console.error. Set WORKSTACEAN_STRICT_WIRING=1 to crash startup instead.
- action.issues_triage_bugs already routes correctly via meta.agentId=ava
  to the existing DeepAgentExecutor for Ava's issue_triage skill — no
  duplicate wiring needed (greenfield).

CeremonyStateExtension was publishing { domain, data } envelopes on
`world.state.snapshot` after every ceremony completion. GoalEvaluatorPlugin
subscribes to `world.state.#`, treated the malformed payload as a WorldState,
and emitted a "Selector ... not found" violation for every loaded goal on
every ceremony tick (the cluster of 25+ violations at each :15/:30 boundary
in the live container logs). All listed selectors (flow.efficiency.ratio,
services.discord.connected, agent_health.agentCount, etc.) actually exist
in the producer output — the goals are correct.

Changes:
- Move ceremony snapshot publish to `ceremony.state.snapshot` (off the
  world.state.# namespace). Leaves the existing CeremoniesState shape and
  consumers unchanged.
- Goal evaluator: defensive payload shape check. Reject single-domain
  envelopes ({ domain, data }) and other non-WorldState payloads loud-once
  instead of generating one violation per goal.
- Goal evaluator: startup selector validator. After the first valid world
  state arrives, walk every loaded goal's selector and HIGH-log any that
  doesn't resolve. Re-armed on goals.reload / config.reload so drift caught
  by future hot-reloads also surfaces.
- Tests: regression guard that CeremonyStateExtension does not publish on
  world.state.#; goal evaluator ignores malformed payloads; validator
  catches an intentionally broken selector.

Closes #424

The Claude Code skill was calling the homelab-iac copy of agent-rollcall.sh,
which had drifted from this repo's copy. The in-repo script knows about
the in-process DeepAgent runtime (Ava, protoBot, Tuner) and the current
A2A fleet; the homelab-iac copy still probed for the archived ava-agent
container and the deprecated protoaudio/protovoice services.

Single source of truth: this repo. The homelab-iac copy was separately
synced in homelab-iac@64e8dcf.

…th_discord (#431)

Adds CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin — registers FunctionExecutors that bridge
GOAP `ceremony.*` actions to the matching `ceremony.<id>.execute` topic
CeremonyPlugin already listens for. Without this bridge,
SkillDispatcherPlugin dropped every dispatch with "No executor found …"
and (post-#427) emitted HIGH platform.skills_unwired alerts every cycle.

Mirrors the alert-skill-executor-plugin pattern from #427 — explicit
action→ceremony id mapping, install order matters (after registry,
before skill-dispatcher).

Partial fix for #430.

…432)

Closes the structural gap where 5 actions in workspace/actions.yaml route
to handlers in PrRemediatorPlugin but had no registered executor:
  - action.pr_update_branch    → pr.remediate.update_branch
  - action.pr_merge_ready      → pr.remediate.merge_ready
  - action.pr_fix_ci           → pr.remediate.fix_ci
  - action.pr_address_feedback → pr.remediate.address_feedback
  - action.dispatch_backmerge  → pr.backmerge.dispatch

Before this change SkillDispatcherPlugin logged "No executor found" and
dropped the dispatch every GOAP cycle. After PR #427's startup validator
the same gap raised platform.skills_unwired HIGH every tick.

Wiring follows the AlertSkillExecutorPlugin pattern from #427:
  - PrRemediatorSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors that
    publish on the existing pr-remediator subscription topics, keeping
    "bus is the contract" — no plugin holds a reference to the other.
  - Executors are fire-and-forget per actions.yaml meta. They return a
    successful SkillResult immediately; pr-remediator's handler runs
    asynchronously on the bus subscription.
  - Install order matches alert-skill-executor: AFTER ExecutorRegistry
    construction, BEFORE skill-dispatcher.

For action.pr_merge_ready specifically, the meta.hitlPolicy
(ttlMs: 1800000, onTimeout: approve) is now honoured. The executor
forwards meta into the trigger payload; _handleMergeReady extracts it
via _extractHitlPolicy and passes it to _emitHitlApproval, which
populates HITLRequest.{ttlMs, onTimeout}. HITLPlugin already auto-
publishes a synthetic approve response when onTimeout=approve fires.

Closes part of #430. Ceremony + protoMaker actions ship in a separate PR.

protoMaker (apps/server in protoLabsAI/ava) has been A2A-ready for a while —
serves agent-card.json with 10 skills including the two referenced by
unwired GOAP actions:
  - action.protomaker_triage_blocked → skill board_health
  - action.protomaker_start_auto_mode → skill auto_mode

Both actions targeted [protomaker], but no agent named "protomaker" was
registered, so the dispatcher couldn't route. Adding the entry closes
the routing gap; A2AExecutor's existing target-matching does the rest.

Endpoint: http://automaker-server:3008/a2a (verified from inside the
workstacean container with AVA_API_KEY → JSON-RPC 2.0 response).

#433 added `subscribesTo: message.inbound.github.#` to the new protomaker
agent registration, copy-pasted from quinn's pattern. That was wrong:
protoMaker is reached via explicit GOAP `targets: [protomaker]` dispatches
(action.protomaker_triage_blocked, action.protomaker_start_auto_mode), not
as a broadcast inbound listener.

Quinn already subscribes to all GitHub inbound and dispatches `bug_triage`
on protoMaker's behalf. Having protomaker subscribe to the same broadcast
topic is one of the contributing paths to the duplicate-triage spam loop
filed as protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3503 (the root cause is Quinn's handler
not being idempotent — but this cleanup removes one extra firing path).

…me (#435)

PR #411 renamed the tool from web_search to searxng_search in
src/agent-runtime/tools/bus-tools.ts (line 393), but ava.yaml still
declared the old name. Result: at startup the runtime warns
"agent ava declares unknown tools: web_search" and Ava ends up with no
search capability — when asked, she explicitly responds "I don't have a
searxng_search or web_search tool in my current toolkit."

This is the config side of the half-finished rename that PR #411 missed.
After this lands and workstacean restarts, Ava's toolkit should include
searxng_search and the unknown-tools warning should be empty for her.

…up (#436)

Two GOAP actions on goal fleet.no_agent_stuck were spamming Discord
because they had no `effects` and no cooldown:

  - alert.fleet_agent_stuck → posts a Discord alert
  - action.fleet_incident_response → dispatches Ava to file an incident,
    page on-call, and pause routing

Observed 2026-04-20: when auto-triage-sweep hit 100% failure rate on
bug_triage (cascading from the non-idempotent handler in
protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3503), GOAP re-fired both actions every planning
cycle. Ava filed INC-003 through INC-009 in ~30 seconds, each posting to
Discord. The pause routing succeeded but the rolling 1h failure rate
metric doesn't drop instantly, so the goal stayed violated and the loop
kept re-firing.

Disabling both actions until proper dedup lands. Reinstate when:
  1. action.fleet_incident_response gains a cooldown OR an `effects`
     marker that satisfies the goal for the cooldown window
  2. Ava's fleet_incident_response skill checks for an existing open
     incident on the same agent before filing a new one
  3. alert.fleet_agent_stuck gains per-agent rate limiting

After #436 disabled action.fleet_incident_response, observed similar
loop spam from FOUR more action.* dispatches that share the same

ALL share the same pattern as the alert.* actions and the original
fleet_incident_response: effects: [] + no cooldownMs + persistent goal
violation = infinite re-fire.

Mitigation only — Ava temporarily can't auto-investigate orphaned
skills or auto-triage new GitHub issues. Reinstate when issue #437
ships action-level cooldown (meta.cooldownMs) or proper effects-with-TTL.
The alert.* siblings (24 of them) also have this bug but are
non-impacting today because DISCORD_WEBHOOK_ALERTS is unset and
WorldEngineAlertPlugin drops them silently — fixing #437 will cover
both at the dispatcher level.

GOAP actions with `effects: []` re-fired every planning cycle (~3s) while
their goal stayed violated. Two prod fires (PR #436, PR #451) had to
disable 6 actions before this lands. Restoring autonomy.

ActionDispatcherPlugin now honors `meta.cooldownMs` on every action. When
an action with a positive cooldownMs fires, the dispatcher records its
timestamp; subsequent dispatches of the same action id within the window
are dropped BEFORE the WIP queue and BEFORE the executor. Single chokepoint
covers both alert.* (FunctionExecutor → Discord) and action.* (DeepAgent /
A2A) paths. Drops log a fail-fast diagnostic with action id, age, and
remaining window, plus bump a new `cooldown_dropped` telemetry event.

Cooldown bucket is keyed on action id alone — per-target keying isn't
needed because each GOAP action targets one situation. Greenfield shape:
absence of `meta.cooldownMs` means "no cooldown" naturally, no flag.

Defaults applied to workspace/actions.yaml:
  - alert.*                          → 15 min
  - action.* with skillHint          → 30 min (agent work is expensive)
  - action.pr_*                      → 5 min  (remediation must stay responsive)
  - ceremony.*                       → 30 min (treated as skill dispatch)
  - action.dispatch_backmerge        → none (in-handler per-repo cooldown
                                              in pr-remediator stays authoritative)

Re-enables the 6 actions disabled by PRs #436 and #451:
alert.fleet_agent_stuck, action.fleet_incident_response,
action.fleet_downshift_models, action.fleet_investigate_orphaned_skills,
action.issues_triage_critical, action.issues_triage_bugs.

Tests:
  - action-dispatcher unit tests cover: blocks repeats within window;
    A's cooldown does not affect B; window expiry admits next dispatch;
    absent cooldownMs and cooldownMs<=0 mean no throttling.
  - End-to-end test spam-publishes 100 violations of fleet.no_skill_orphaned
    and asserts exactly 1 dispatch reaches the executor.
  - bun test: 1023 / 1023 pass.

…roken (#454)

Audit of all 10 workspace/ceremonies/*.yaml against the live agent skill
registry surfaced 7 with skill-target mismatches that fail every fire:

ROUTED to correct skill owner:
  board.cleanup     skill=board_audit    targets [all] → [quinn]
  board.health      skill=board_health   targets [all] → [protomaker]
  daily-standup     skill=board_audit    targets [ava] → [quinn]
  health-check      skill=board_audit    targets [ava] → [quinn]

DISABLED (no agent advertises the skill):
  agent-health      skill=health_check   — no health_check anywhere
  board.retro       skill=pattern_analysis — no pattern_analysis anywhere
  service-health    skill=health_check   — same as agent-health

Quinn owns board_audit (and bug_triage / pr_review / qa_report).
Protomaker owns board_health (and 9 other apps/server skills).
The two `health_check`-keyed ceremonies were redundant anyway — the
agent_health and services world-state domains poll the same data every
60s and expose it on /api/agent-health and /api/services.

Re-enable the disabled three with a real skill if a periodic ANNOUNCE
to Discord is wanted (small `*_health_report` skill on protobot would
do it).

Workspace is bind-mounted, so the live container picks this up on
restart with no rebuild.

The GOAP planner could dispatch a skill to a target agent (e.g.
auto-triage-sweep, user) where the named target wasn't in the live
ExecutorRegistry. The dispatcher fired anyway, the executor errored
404-style, and the failure cascaded into stuck work items + duplicate
incident filings (INC-003 through INC-018, ~93 work items in error
state). The cooldown work in #437 / #452 masked the symptom but the
structural gap remained.

ActionDispatcherPlugin now takes the shared ExecutorRegistry handle and
runs `_admitOrTargetUnresolved` immediately after the cooldown check and
BEFORE the WIP queue / executor. Same chokepoint pattern as cooldown:

  - target absent (skill-routed)            → admit
  - target = "all" (broadcast sentinel)     → admit
  - target matches a registration agentName → admit
  - target unresolvable                     → drop, log loud, telemetry
                                              bump `target_unresolved`

Drops surface action id, the unresolvable target, AND the agents that
DO exist so the routing mistake is immediately diagnosable. The only
opt-out is the broadcast sentinel "all" — there is no flag, no
enabled-bool. Greenfield-strict shape.

Wiring: src/index.ts passes the shared executorRegistry into the
dispatcher factory. Test fixtures that don't exercise target routing
omit the registry and the check is skipped — so existing tests stay
green without modification.

Audit of workspace/actions.yaml: only `protomaker` appears as an active
agentId target (twice). That agent is registered in workspace/agents.yaml.
The historical bad targets (`auto-triage-sweep`, `user`) were removed by
prior cleanup; this PR ensures any future regression fails closed.

Tests added in src/plugins/action-dispatcher-plugin.test.ts:
  - admits when target is registered
  - drops when target is unregistered + bumps `target_unresolved`
  - drops on mixed-target intent (single-target shape today via meta.agentId)
  - admits when target is the "all" broadcast sentinel
  - admits when meta.agentId is absent (skill-routed dispatch)
  - admits when no registry is wired (legacy test fixtures)

bun test: 1029 / 1029 pass.

PR #415 fixed the hot-reload path so flipping a ceremony to disabled
cancelled its timer, but the initial-load path still added every YAML
entry (disabled or not) to the in-memory registry. Two consequences:

  1. External `ceremony.<id>.execute` triggers (from
     CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin's GOAP bridge) found the disabled
     ceremony in the registry and fired it anyway.
  2. After hot-reload flipped a ceremony enabled→disabled, the entry
     stayed in the registry — same external-trigger leak.

Fix: filter `enabled === false` at every place that lands a ceremony in
the registry (initial install, hot-reload new-file path, hot-reload
changed-file path). Disabled ceremonies are loaded by the YAML parser
(so the changed-file path can detect a flip) but never reach the
registry, never schedule a timer, and cannot be resurrected by an
external trigger. Operators see a `Skipping disabled ceremony: <id>`
log line for each skip — fail-loud per project convention.

Greenfield: no flag, no toggle. enabled:false means disabled
everywhere.

13 TS2322 errors snuck through #452 and #455 because the CI test job
has been failing on type-check while build-and-push (the gate that
actually publishes :dev) is a separate workflow that runs on push.
Result: main/dev were green for container publish even though tsc
--noEmit was returning exit 2. Not visible in PR merge gates either
because test.conclusion=failure + build-and-push.conclusion=skipping
still resolved to a mergeable state.

Pattern of the 13 errors:

  bus.subscribe(T, "spy", (m) => requests.push(m));
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  Array.push() returns number, but the subscribe callback expects
  void | Promise<void>. Fix: wrap the body in a block so the arrow
  returns void:

  bus.subscribe(T, "spy", (m) => { requests.push(m); });

Applied via sed-style regex across both test files. 1029 tests still
pass (bun test). `bun run tsc --noEmit` now exits 0.

… whitelist (closes #459) (#460)

AgentFleetHealthPlugin now takes an optional ExecutorRegistry (mirrors the
#455 wiring on ActionDispatcherPlugin). On each inbound autonomous.outcome,
`systemActor` is checked against `executorRegistry.list().map(r => r.agentName)`:

- Registered agent (ava, quinn, protomaker, ...) → aggregated in agents[]
  (existing shape, no behavior change).
- Anything else (pr-remediator, auto-triage-sweep, goap, user, ...) →
  routed to a separate systemActors[] bucket. No longer pollutes
  agentCount / maxFailureRate1h / orphanedSkillCount, so Ava's sitreps
  stop surfacing plugin names as "stuck agents".

First time a synthetic actor is seen, the plugin emits a one-time
console.warn naming the actor + skill (fail-fast and loud, per policy)
so operators know what's being filtered. No flag — same greenfield /
chokepoint discipline as #437 (cooldown) and #444 (target guard).

Scope note on `_default`: this plugin keys on outcome `systemActor`,
not registry `agentName`. `_default` only appears in /api/agent-health
(the registry-driven view). Nothing currently publishes an outcome with
`systemActor: "_default"`, so it doesn't reach agents[] here. If it
ever did, the new whitelist would drop it to systemActors[] — the right
outcome.

Verification plan (post-deploy):
  curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/v1/chat/completions \\
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
    -d '{"model":"ava","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"fleet sitrep"}]}'

Expected: no `pr-remediator`, `auto-triage-sweep`, or `user` in agents[].

…oard URL (#462)

The card at /.well-known/agent-card.json was advertising a URL like
http://ava:8081/a2a — host-mapped to the Astro dashboard, which 404s on
/a2a. Spec-compliant clients (@a2a-js/sdk and friends) doing card
discovery → POST to card.url could not reach the actual A2A endpoint;
the voice agent team papered over this by switching to the
/v1/chat/completions shim.

Fix: derive the card's `url` from variables that describe where the A2A
endpoint actually lives.

  1. WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL (e.g. https://ava.proto-labs.ai) →
     ${publicBase}/a2a. The canonical Cloudflare-fronted URL for
     external/Tailscale callers.
  2. Otherwise, http://${WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST ?? "workstacean"}:${WORKSTACEAN_HTTP_PORT}/a2a
     — docker-network service name + the actual API port.

Also populate `additionalInterfaces` with the JSON-RPC transport at the
same URL so spec-compliant clients can pick deterministically. Drop the
WORKSTACEAN_BASE_URL coupling in the card builder — that variable
remains the externally-reachable URL stamped into A2A push-notification
callbacks (different concern, separate documentation).

Closes #461

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR implements multi-layer fixes for duplicate action dispatches, unregistered agent routing failures, and ceremony state isolation. It introduces action-level cooldown deduplication in ActionDispatcherPlugin, adds pre-dispatch registry validation to block phantom targets, separates ceremony state publishing from world state, implements three new skill executor plugins, and fixes ceremony disabled-state handling on initial load.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
A2A Agent Card URL Resolution
src/api/agent-card.ts, src/api/__tests__/agent-card.test.ts, src/config/env.ts, .env.dist, README.md, docs/reference/env-vars.md, docs/reference/http-api.md
Replaced WORKSTACEAN_BASE_URL-based card url derivation with new env vars: WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL (preferred) and WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST (fallback, default workstacean). Added resolveA2aUrl() helper and additionalInterfaces[] to agent card. Updated docs and examples.
Action Cooldown Deduplication
src/planner/types/action.ts, src/schemas/yaml-schemas.ts, src/plugins/action-dispatcher-plugin.ts, src/plugins/action-dispatcher-plugin.test.ts, workspace/actions.yaml
Added optional meta.cooldownMs field to action metadata. Implemented per-action cooldown throttling in ActionDispatcherPlugin using lastDispatchedAt state and _admitOrCooldown() gate; repeated dispatches within window are dropped and telemetry-bumped (cooldown_dropped). Added 30+ actions with default cooldowns (alert 15min, ceremony 30min, pr-remediator 5min).
Pre-Dispatch Registry Guard & Executor Validation
src/plugins/action-dispatcher-plugin.ts, src/plugins/action-dispatcher-plugin.test.ts, src/planner/validate-action-executors.ts, src/planner/__tests__/validate-action-executors.test.ts, src/index.ts
Added executorRegistry constructor parameter to ActionDispatcherPlugin; new _admitOrTargetUnresolved() gate checks meta.agentId against registered executors before dispatch (blocks with target_unresolved telemetry). New validation module exports findUnwiredActions(), UnwiredActionsError, validateActionExecutors() for startup cross-check; runs after plugin installation when WORKSTACEAN_STRICT_WIRING=1.
Three Skill Executor Plugins
src/plugins/alert-skill-executor-plugin.ts, src/plugins/alert-skill-executor-plugin.test.ts, src/plugins/ceremony-skill-executor-plugin.ts, src/plugins/ceremony-skill-executor-plugin.test.ts, src/plugins/pr-remediator-skill-executor-plugin.ts, src/plugins/pr-remediator-skill-executor-plugin.test.ts
Added AlertSkillExecutorPlugin (registers alert.* skills, publishes to message.outbound.discord.alert), CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin (registers ceremony.* actions, publishes to ceremony.<id>.execute), PrRemediatorSkillExecutorPlugin (registers action.pr_* skills, publishes to pr-remediator topics). Each plugin registers FunctionExecutor instances with fixed priority and implements fire-and-forget semantics.
Ceremony Plugin Fixes & State Separation
src/plugins/CeremonyPlugin.ts, src/plugins/__tests__/CeremonyPlugin.test.ts, src/world/extensions/CeremonyStateExtension.ts, src/world/extensions/__tests__/CeremonyStateExtension.test.ts, docs/reference/ceremony-plugin.md, src/loaders/ceremonyYamlLoader.ts
Fixed initial-load handling of enabled: false ceremonies (skip registration, timers, state-extension). Changed CeremonyStateExtension to publish snapshots to ceremony.state.snapshot instead of world.state.snapshot with explicit ban on world.state.# namespace. Added hot-reload logic to detect disabled ceremonies and unregister them (cancel timers, remove extensions).
Fleet Health Synthetic Actor Filtering
src/plugins/agent-fleet-health-plugin.ts, src/plugins/agent-fleet-health-plugin.test.ts
Added executorRegistry parameter to AgentFleetHealthPlugin; new systemActors[] field in FleetHealthSnapshot and separate systemActorWindows map. Outcomes from non-registered actors route to systemActors instead of agents[], preventing synthetic names (pr-remediator, auto-triage-sweep) from inflating agent metrics. _isRegisteredAgent() check gates routing; legacy behavior preserved when registry absent.
Goal Evaluator Payload Validation
src/plugins/goal_evaluator_plugin.ts, __tests__/goal_evaluator_plugin.test.ts
Added _looksLikeWorldState() guard to validate incoming world.state.# payloads before evaluation; non-matching payloads ignored with warning. Implemented validatorRan flag to run selector resolution validation exactly once after first evaluated snapshot. Added helper methods _describePayload() and _validateLoadedGoalSelectors() for logging and selector path checks (issue #424).
HITL Policy Support
lib/plugins/pr-remediator.ts, src/pr-remediator.test.ts
Added _extractHitlPolicy(msg) to read msg.payload.meta.hitlPolicy (supports ttlMs and onTimeout). Extended _emitHitlApproval(hitlPolicy?) to accept optional policy; when provided, overrides request's expiresAt duration and conditionally adds onTimeout into emitted HITLRequest.options fields.
Ceremony & Agent Configuration
workspace/ceremonies/agent-health.yaml, workspace/ceremonies/board.cleanup.yaml, workspace/ceremonies/board.health.yaml, workspace/ceremonies/board.retro.yaml, workspace/ceremonies/daily-standup.yaml, workspace/ceremonies/health-check.yaml, workspace/ceremonies/service-health.yaml, workspace/agents.yaml
Disabled 4 ceremonies with no advertised skills (agent-health, board.retro, service-health); updated targets for 4 ceremonies to route skills to correct agents (board.cleanup, board.health, daily-standup, health-check → quinn or protomaker). Added protomaker agent entry with A2A endpoint and apiKey auth.
Documentation & Configuration
docs/reference/env-vars.md, docs/reference/http-api.md, docs/reference/ceremony-plugin.md, README.md, .env.dist, .claude/commands/rollcall.md
Updated docs to reflect A2A URL resolution logic, new env vars, and ceremony state separation. Changed rollcall smoke test path and scope documentation.
Telemetry & Tests
src/telemetry/telemetry-service.ts, src/planner/__tests__/end-to-end-loop.test.ts, __tests__/goal_evaluator_plugin.test.ts
Added "cooldown_dropped" to ActionEvent type and ACTION_EVENTS constant. Added end-to-end test for cooldown suppression (100 violations → 1 executor dispatch). Expanded goal evaluator tests for payload shape rejection and selector validation.

5-12: Routing fix is correct; ceremony semantics are still misleading.

Fix: change the ceremony identity or name and/or replace the skill to match
intent so operators aren't confused — either rename this ceremony from a
"service-health" framing to something that reflects a board audit, or swap the
skill to an actual health-report skill; specifically update the YAML entries
referencing the skill value "board_audit" and any metadata/label that implies
"service-health" so the ceremony name/skill and the identity are consistent with
each other and with the target "quinn".

538-547: Consider clearing ceremony history when unregistering.

When a ceremony is disabled via hot-reload, unregisterCeremony removes it from ceremonies and status maps but — per the context snippet from CeremonyStateExtension.ts:48-55 — does not clear state.history or state.lastRun. Old execution history may persist in snapshots, potentially affecting monitoring/reporting systems.

If stale history is acceptable (e.g., for audit trails), this is fine. Otherwise, consider extending unregisterCeremony to also clear history entries for the ceremony ID.

CeremonyStateExtension clear method) to avoid stale history persisting after a
hot-disable; ensure you reference and clear the same keys used by
CeremonyStateExtension.ts (state.history and state.lastRun) when unregistering.

113-160: Consider increasing timing margins for CI stability.

The 5ms and 10ms delays may be insufficient on slow CI runners. Consider using slightly larger margins (e.g., 20-50ms) or a polling-based assertion pattern to reduce flakiness.

💡 Example polling pattern
// Instead of fixed delays:
const waitFor = async (fn: () => boolean, timeoutMs = 100) => {
  const start = Date.now();
  while (!fn() && Date.now() - start < timeoutMs) {
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 5));
  }
};
await waitFor(() => !plugin.getCeremonies().map(c => c.id).includes("board.flipping"));

Inline comments:
In @.claude/commands/rollcall.md:
- Line 5: Replace the hard-coded absolute path in the rollcall command with a
repo-relative invocation so the script is portable; update the line that
currently runs `bash /home/josh/dev/protoWorkstacean/scripts/agent-rollcall.sh`
in .claude/commands/rollcall.md to call the repo-local script (e.g.,
`scripts/agent-rollcall.sh` or `./scripts/agent-rollcall.sh`) or use a repo-root
resolution (e.g., via git rev-parse --show-toplevel) so the command works from
the repository regardless of the developer's home directory or CI environment.

In `@lib/plugins/pr-remediator.ts`:
- Around line 1201-1214: The extracted hitl policy currently allows ttlMs values
like NaN or Infinity which later cause RangeError in _emitHitlApproval; update
_extractHitlPolicy to validate ttlMs by checking typeof p.ttlMs === "number" &&
Number.isFinite(p.ttlMs) && p.ttlMs >= 0 (optionally Math.floor if you want an
integer) before assigning out.ttlMs so only finite, non-negative numbers are
propagated to _emitHitlApproval.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 65: Add a dedicated environment variable entry for
WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST in the env-table: describe it as the internal host
used for docker-network fallback, note its default value (workstacean) and how
it interacts with WORKSTACEAN_HTTP_PORT and WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL (i.e.,
used in the fallback
`http://${WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST:-workstacean}:${WORKSTACEAN_HTTP_PORT}/a2a`),
so readers can easily find and override the internal host behavior.

In `@src/index.ts`:
- Around line 511-526: The wiring validation currently runs too early; move the
validateActionExecutors call (the block that imports
"./planner/validate-action-executors.js" and calls
validateActionExecutors(actionRegistry, executorRegistry, { bus, throwOnUnwired:
process.env.WORKSTACEAN_STRICT_WIRING === "1" })) so it executes after
loadWorkspacePlugins() completes, and also invoke the same
validateActionExecutors call from the config reload path that handles
TOPICS.CONFIG_RELOAD (so actions reloaded at runtime get validated against
executorRegistry). Ensure you reuse the same actionRegistry and executorRegistry
instances and preserve the existing logging/throwOnUnwired behavior.
- Around line 316-329: The pr-remediator skill executor is unconditionally
installed (name: "pr-remediator-skill-executor", factory: returns new
PrRemediatorSkillExecutorPlugin(executorRegistry)) causing actions to be routed
when the actual pr-remediator plugin is absent; change the registrar's condition
from () => true to the same gating predicate used by the real pr-remediator
plugin (e.g., reuse the GitHub-credentials check or the plugin presence check),
or make the condition consult the plugin registry
(pluginManager.has("pr-remediator") / similar) so the
PrRemediatorSkillExecutorPlugin is only registered when the real pr-remediator
plugin will be installed.

In `@workspace/agents.yaml`:
- Around line 90-95: The protomaker agent registration references AVA_API_KEY
but that env var is not documented or provisioned; add AVA_API_KEY to the
environment template and onboarding/provisioning docs/scripts so fresh or local
deployments export a placeholder or real key before registering the agent.
Update the onboarding guide and any env files (the env template used for local
dev / CI) to include AVA_API_KEY with a short note about its purpose and where
to obtain/set it, and ensure any deployment/provision scripts (used during
bootstrap) populate or validate AVA_API_KEY before the protomaker agent is
registered.

Nitpick comments:
In `@__tests__/goal_evaluator_plugin.test.ts`:

console.error override so it runs before calling plugin.install(...) to ensure
any validator logging during install is caught; specifically, in the test that
constructs GoalEvaluatorPlugin and calls plugin.install(bus), set up the errors
array and override console.error prior to invoking plugin.install, then restore
console.error after bus.publish(...) completes, referencing GoalEvaluatorPlugin,
install, console.error and bus.publish to locate the affected lines.

In @.claude/commands/rollcall.md:
- Line 1: Update the sentence "Run the agent roll call smoke test. Reports
status of all agents (in-process DeepAgents, A2A external services), AI

metadata/label that implies "service-health" so the ceremony name/skill and the

Closes the three open CodeRabbit findings from #466 not yet shipped
(items #2 and #4 already landed via #470 and 9792b0c).

#467 finding #1 (.claude/commands/rollcall.md):
  Hard-coded operator path /home/josh/dev/... → relative path
  scripts/agent-rollcall.sh with explicit "from repo root" guidance.
  Works for any clone; matches every other repo-script reference.

#467 finding #3 (README.md env table):
  Add a dedicated env-table row for WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST so it's
  discoverable by anyone overriding the docker-network default.
  Cross-references WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL.

#467 finding #5 (src/index.ts startup-validator):
  validateActionExecutors() ran BEFORE loadWorkspacePlugins(), so
  executor registrars shipped as workspace plugins were falsely flagged
  in strict mode. It also ran only once at startup, so config.reload of
  actions.yaml bypassed the fail-loud guard.

  Fix: extract a runWiringValidator(reason) helper, call it AFTER all
  plugin loading (core + registered + workspace), and re-run inside the
  CONFIG_RELOAD subscriber after loadActionsYaml(). New "[reload-validator]"
  log tag distinguishes the call sites.

Tests: 1054/1054 pass.

… (v0.7.22 candidate, re-cut) (#466) (#468)

* fix: extension URIs use proto-labs.ai (not protolabs.ai) (#407)

All 27 references to https://protolabs.ai/a2a/ext/* changed to
https://proto-labs.ai/a2a/ext/* to match the actual domain. These
URIs are opaque identifiers (not published specs today) but should
reference a domain we own.

Breaking: external agents (Quinn, protoPen) whose cards declare the
old URI will stop matching the registry until they update. Filed on
Quinn to update her card.




* chore(release): bump to v0.7.20 (#408)



* chore: remove protoaudio + protovoice from agent rollcall (#410)

Both services decommissioned. Containers stopped + removed.
Only reference in protoWorkstacean was the rollcall script.

Note: homelab-iac/stacks/ai/docker-compose.yml still has a
worldmonitor network reference at line 521 + service at line 833.
Needs separate cleanup in that repo.




* feat: upgrade web_search → searxng_search + give Ava fleet health tools (#411)

Two changes:

1. Replace the basic `web_search` tool (5 results, hardcoded engines)
   with `searxng_search` — adapted from rabbit-hole.io's full-surface
   SearXNG integration. New capabilities:
   - Category routing: general, news, science, it
   - Time range filtering: day, week, month, year
   - Bang syntax: !wp (Wikipedia), !scholar, !gh (GitHub)
   - Infoboxes, direct answers, suggestions in response
   - Configurable max_results (default 10, was 5)

   Updated in both bus-tools.ts (@protolabsai/sdk pattern) and
   deep-agent-executor.ts (LangChain pattern).

2. Give Ava three fleet health tools she was missing:
   - get_ci_health — CI success rates across repos
   - get_pr_pipeline — open PRs, conflicts, staleness
   - get_incidents — security/ops incidents

   Ava can now answer fleet health questions directly instead of
   always delegating to Quinn.

Ava's tool count: 10 → 13. Tool rename: web_search → searxng_search
(greenfield, no backward compat alias).




* chore(projects): register protoAgent in projects.yaml (#414)

protoAgent is the new GitHub Template repo that replaces per-agent
A2A bootstrapping. Registers it as an active dev project owned by
Quinn, matching the shape of existing entries. Plane / GitHub
webhook / Discord provisioning remain TODO — those integrations
aren't configured in this deployment, so the onboard plugin
skipped them.




* chore(release): bump to v0.7.21 (#413)



* feat(ava): expand helm toolset, wire GOAP skills, fix ceremony disable bug (#415)

Ava agent audit + overhaul:
- Tools: 10 → 22 (direct observation, propose_config_change, incident reporting)
- Skills: 3 → 7 (debug_ci_failures, fleet_incident_response, downshift_models, investigate_orphaned_skills)
- System prompt rewritten: self-improvement instructions, escalation policy, GOAP-dispatch playbook
- DeepAgentExecutor now applies skill-level systemPromptOverride (goal_proposal, diagnose_pr_stuck)
- Fix ceremony loader bug: disabled ceremonies were filtered out, preventing hot-reload from cancelling timers
- Clean up board.pr-audit.yaml (remove spurious action field, restore schedule, keep disabled)
- Update docs: README, deep-agent runtime, agent-skills reference, self-improving loop




* fix(pr-remediator): close dispatch gap — self-dispatch + broaden auto-approve (#417)

Two root causes prevented PRs from being auto-merged:

1. Dispatch gap: tier_0 short-circuit in ActionDispatcherPlugin completed
   all actions immediately without dispatching to agent.skill.request.
   Every action in actions.yaml is tier_0, so the fireAndForget path
   (which publishes the skill request) was unreachable dead code.
   Fix: tier_0 now falls through when meta.fireAndForget is set.

2. Approval gap: readyToMerge requires reviewState=approved, but
   auto-approve only covered dependabot/renovate/promote:/chore(deps.
   Human PRs, release PRs (chore(release), and github-actions PRs
   all lacked approved reviews and sat indefinitely.
   Fix: added app/github-actions to authors, chore(release, chore:,
   docs( to safe title prefixes.

Additionally, PrRemediatorPlugin now self-dispatches remediation on
every world.state.updated tick — checking for readyToMerge, dirty,
failingCi, and changesRequested PRs directly from cached domain data.
This removes the dependency on GOAP dispatch reaching the plugin via
pr.remediate.* topics (which were never published in production after
Arc 1.4 removed meta.topic routing).




* feat(goap): issue_zero domain + goals — track open GitHub issues across fleet (#419)

Adds a github_issues domain that polls /repos/{repo}/issues?state=open
for all managed projects and classifies by label (critical, bug,
enhancement). Three GOAP goals enforce issue hygiene:

  - issues.zero_critical (critical severity, max: 0)
  - issues.zero_bugs (high severity, max: 0)
  - issues.total_low (medium severity, max: 5)

Each goal has a matching alert action and a triage dispatch action
that invokes Ava's new issue_triage skill. The skill instructs Ava
to resolve, convert to board features, delegate, or close issues
with rationale — driving toward zero open issues across all repos.

Domain polls every 5 minutes (issue velocity is low, GitHub rate
limits are a concern with 6+ repos).




* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359) (#420)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.




* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching (#421)

* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.



* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching

"Promote dev to main" titles start with capital P, but the prefix
check was case-sensitive against "promote:". Now lowercases the
title before matching so both "promote:" and "Promote" patterns
are caught.



---------




* fix(skill-dispatcher): wire alert.* executors + startup validator (#426) (#427)

Closes the structural gap where 6+ tier_0 fire-and-forget alert skills had
no registered executor, causing SkillDispatcherPlugin to log "No executor
found" and silently drop the dispatch on every GOAP planning cycle.

- AlertSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors for all 24 bare
  alert.* actions in workspace/actions.yaml. Each translates the dispatch
  into a structured message.outbound.discord.alert event consumed by the
  existing WorldEngineAlertPlugin webhook routing.
- validate-action-executors.ts cross-checks the loaded ActionRegistry
  against the live ExecutorRegistry at startup. Surfaces every gap as a
  HIGH-severity Discord alert (goal platform.skills_unwired) and a loud
  console.error. Set WORKSTACEAN_STRICT_WIRING=1 to crash startup instead.
- action.issues_triage_bugs already routes correctly via meta.agentId=ava
  to the existing DeepAgentExecutor for Ava's issue_triage skill — no
  duplicate wiring needed (greenfield).




* fix(ceremonies): stop world.state.# leak from ceremony snapshots (#428)

CeremonyStateExtension was publishing { domain, data } envelopes on
`world.state.snapshot` after every ceremony completion. GoalEvaluatorPlugin
subscribes to `world.state.#`, treated the malformed payload as a WorldState,
and emitted a "Selector ... not found" violation for every loaded goal on
every ceremony tick (the cluster of 25+ violations at each :15/:30 boundary
in the live container logs). All listed selectors (flow.efficiency.ratio,
services.discord.connected, agent_health.agentCount, etc.) actually exist
in the producer output — the goals are correct.

Changes:
- Move ceremony snapshot publish to `ceremony.state.snapshot` (off the
  world.state.# namespace). Leaves the existing CeremoniesState shape and
  consumers unchanged.
- Goal evaluator: defensive payload shape check. Reject single-domain
  envelopes ({ domain, data }) and other non-WorldState payloads loud-once
  instead of generating one violation per goal.
- Goal evaluator: startup selector validator. After the first valid world
  state arrives, walk every loaded goal's selector and HIGH-log any that
  doesn't resolve. Re-armed on goals.reload / config.reload so drift caught
  by future hot-reloads also surfaces.
- Tests: regression guard that CeremonyStateExtension does not publish on
  world.state.#; goal evaluator ignores malformed payloads; validator
  catches an intentionally broken selector.

Closes #424




* fix(rollcall): point /rollcall skill at in-repo script (closes #425) (#429)

The Claude Code skill was calling the homelab-iac copy of agent-rollcall.sh,
which had drifted from this repo's copy. The in-repo script knows about
the in-process DeepAgent runtime (Ava, protoBot, Tuner) and the current
A2A fleet; the homelab-iac copy still probed for the archived ava-agent
container and the deprecated protoaudio/protovoice services.

Single source of truth: this repo. The homelab-iac copy was separately
synced in homelab-iac@64e8dcf.




* Promote dev to main (v0.7.21) (#418) (#423)

* fix: extension URIs use proto-labs.ai (not protolabs.ai) (#407)

All 27 references to https://protolabs.ai/a2a/ext/* changed to

   always delegating to Quinn.

Ava's tool count: 10 → 13. Tool rename: web_search → searxng_search
(greenfield, no backward compat alias).




* chore(projects): register protoAgent in projects.yaml (#414)

protoAgent is the new GitHub Template repo that replaces per-agent
A2A bootstrapping. Registers it as an active dev project owned by
Quinn, matching the shape of existing entries. Plane / GitHub
webhook / Discord provisioning remain TODO — those integrations
aren't configured in this deployment, so the onboard plugin
skipped them.




* chore(release): bump to v0.7.21 (#413)



* feat(ava): expand helm toolset, wire GOAP skills, fix ceremony disable bug (#415)

Ava agent audit + overhaul:
- Tools: 10 → 22 (direct observation, propose_config_change, incident reporting)
- Skills: 3 → 7 (debug_ci_failures, fleet_incident_response, downshift_models, investigate_orphaned_skills)
- System prompt rewritten: self-improvement instructions, escalation policy, GOAP-dispatch playbook
- DeepAgentExecutor now applies skill-level systemPromptOverride (goal_proposal, diagnose_pr_stuck)
- Fix ceremony loader bug: disabled ceremonies were filtered out, preventing hot-reload from cancelling timers
- Clean up board.pr-audit.yaml (remove spurious action field, restore schedule, keep disabled)
- Update docs: README, deep-agent runtime, agent-skills reference, self-improving loop




* fix(pr-remediator): close dispatch gap — self-dispatch + broaden auto-approve (#417)

Two root causes prevented PRs from being auto-merged:

1. Dispatch gap: tier_0 short-circuit in ActionDispatcherPlugin completed
   all actions immediately without dispatching to agent.skill.request.
   Every action in actions.yaml is tier_0, so the fireAndForget path
   (which publishes the skill request) was unreachable dead code.
   Fix: tier_0 now falls through when meta.fireAndForget is set.

2. Approval gap: readyToMerge requires reviewState=approved, but
   auto-approve only covered dependabot/renovate/promote:/chore(deps.
   Human PRs, release PRs (chore(release), and github-actions PRs
   all lacked approved reviews and sat indefinitely.
   Fix: added app/github-actions to authors, chore(release, chore:,
   docs( to safe title prefixes.

Additionally, PrRemediatorPlugin now self-dispatches remediation on
every world.state.updated tick — checking for readyToMerge, dirty,
failingCi, and changesRequested PRs directly from cached domain data.
This removes the dependency on GOAP dispatch reaching the plugin via
pr.remediate.* topics (which were never published in production after
Arc 1.4 removed meta.topic routing).




* feat(goap): issue_zero domain + goals — track open GitHub issues across fleet (#419)

Adds a github_issues domain that polls /repos/{repo}/issues?state=open
for all managed projects and classifies by label (critical, bug,
enhancement). Three GOAP goals enforce issue hygiene:

  - issues.zero_critical (critical severity, max: 0)
  - issues.zero_bugs (high severity, max: 0)
  - issues.total_low (medium severity, max: 5)

Each goal has a matching alert action and a triage dispatch action
that invokes Ava's new issue_triage skill. The skill instructs Ava
to resolve, convert to board features, delegate, or close issues
with rationale — driving toward zero open issues across all repos.

Domain polls every 5 minutes (issue velocity is low, GitHub rate
limits are a concern with 6+ repos).




* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359) (#420)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.




* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching (#421)

* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.



* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching

"Promote dev to main" titles start with capital P, but the prefix
check was case-sensitive against "promote:". Now lowercases the
title before matching so both "promote:" and "Promote" patterns
are caught.

* feat(ceremony): wire ceremony.security_triage + ceremony.service_health_discord (#431)

Adds CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin — registers FunctionExecutors that bridge
GOAP `ceremony.*` actions to the matching `ceremony.<id>.execute` topic
CeremonyPlugin already listens for. Without this bridge,
SkillDispatcherPlugin dropped every dispatch with "No executor found …"
and (post-#427) emitted HIGH platform.skills_unwired alerts every cycle.

Mirrors the alert-skill-executor-plugin pattern from #427 — explicit
action→ceremony id mapping, install order matters (after registry,
before skill-dispatcher).

Partial fix for #430.




* fix(pr-remediator): wire 5 GOAP-dispatched skills + honor hitlPolicy (#432)

Closes the structural gap where 5 actions in workspace/actions.yaml route
to handlers in PrRemediatorPlugin but had no registered executor:
  - action.pr_update_branch    → pr.remediate.update_branch
  - action.pr_merge_ready      → pr.remediate.merge_ready
  - action.pr_fix_ci           → pr.remediate.fix_ci
  - action.pr_address_feedback → pr.remediate.address_feedback
  - action.dispatch_backmerge  → pr.backmerge.dispatch

Before this change SkillDispatcherPlugin logged "No executor found" and
dropped the dispatch every GOAP cycle. After PR #427's startup validator
the same gap raised platform.skills_unwired HIGH every tick.

Wiring follows the AlertSkillExecutorPlugin pattern from #427:
  - PrRemediatorSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors that
    publish on the existing pr-remediator subscription topics, keeping
    "bus is the contract" — no plugin holds a reference to the other.
  - Executors are fire-and-forget per actions.yaml meta. They return a
    successful SkillResult immediately; pr-remediator's handler runs
    asynchronously on the bus subscription.
  - Install order matches alert-skill-executor: AFTER ExecutorRegistry
    construction, BEFORE skill-dispatcher.

For action.pr_merge_ready specifically, the meta.hitlPolicy
(ttlMs: 1800000, onTimeout: approve) is now honoured. The executor
forwards meta into the trigger payload; _handleMergeReady extracts it
via _extractHitlPolicy and passes it to _emitHitlApproval, which
populates HITLRequest.{ttlMs, onTimeout}. HITLPlugin already auto-
publishes a synthetic approve response when onTimeout=approve fires.

Closes part of #430. Ceremony + protoMaker actions ship in a separate PR.




* feat(agents): register protomaker A2A agent (closes part of #430) (#433)

protoMaker (apps/server in protoLabsAI/ava) has been A2A-ready for a while —
serves agent-card.json with 10 skills including the two referenced by
unwired GOAP actions:
  - action.protomaker_triage_blocked → skill board_health
  - action.protomaker_start_auto_mode → skill auto_mode

Both actions targeted [protomaker], but no agent named "protomaker" was
registered, so the dispatcher couldn't route. Adding the entry closes
the routing gap; A2AExecutor's existing target-matching does the rest.

Endpoint: http://automaker-server:3008/a2a (verified from inside the
workstacean container with AVA_API_KEY → JSON-RPC 2.0 response).




* fix(agents): drop overscoped subscribesTo from protomaker entry (#434)

#433 added `subscribesTo: message.inbound.github.#` to the new protomaker
agent registration, copy-pasted from quinn's pattern. That was wrong:
protoMaker is reached via explicit GOAP `targets: [protomaker]` dispatches
(action.protomaker_triage_blocked, action.protomaker_start_auto_mode), not
as a broadcast inbound listener.

Quinn already subscribes to all GitHub inbound and dispatches `bug_triage`
on protoMaker's behalf. Having protomaker subscribe to the same broadcast
topic is one of the contributing paths to the duplicate-triage spam loop
filed as protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3503 (the root cause is Quinn's handler
not being idempotent — but this cleanup removes one extra firing path).




* fix(ava): rename web_search → searxng_search to match runtime tool name (#435)

PR #411 renamed the tool from web_search to searxng_search in
src/agent-runtime/tools/bus-tools.ts (line 393), but ava.yaml still
declared the old name. Result: at startup the runtime warns
"agent ava declares unknown tools: web_search" and Ava ends up with no
search capability — when asked, she explicitly responds "I don't have a
searxng_search or web_search tool in my current toolkit."

This is the config side of the half-finished rename that PR #411 missed.
After this lands and workstacean restarts, Ava's toolkit should include
searxng_search and the unknown-tools warning should be empty for her.




* fix(goap): disable fleet_agent_stuck loop — fires every cycle, no dedup (#436)

Two GOAP actions on goal fleet.no_agent_stuck were spamming Discord
because they had no `effects` and no cooldown:

  - alert.fleet_agent_stuck → posts a Discord alert
  - action.fleet_incident_response → dispatches Ava to file an incident,
    page on-call, and pause routing

Observed 2026-04-20: when auto-triage-sweep hit 100% failure rate on
bug_triage (cascading from the non-idempotent handler in
protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3503), GOAP re-fired both actions every planning
cycle. Ava filed INC-003 through INC-009 in ~30 seconds, each posting to
Discord. The pause routing succeeded but the rolling 1h failure rate
metric doesn't drop instantly, so the goal stayed violated and the loop
kept re-firing.

Disabling both actions until proper dedup lands. Reinstate when:
  1. action.fleet_incident_response gains a cooldown OR an `effects`
     marker that satisfies the goal for the cooldown window
  2. Ava's fleet_incident_response skill checks for an existing open
     incident on the same agent before filing a new one
  3. alert.fleet_agent_stuck gains per-agent rate limiting




* fix(goap): disable 4 more action.* loops — same no-cooldown bug as #436 (#451)

After #436 disabled action.fleet_incident_response, observed similar
loop spam from FOUR more action.* dispatches that share the same
architectural bug (no cooldown, no satisfying effects → re-fire every
GOAP cycle while goal stays violated):

  action.fleet_investigate_orphaned_skills  — Ava posts orphaned-skill
                                               diagnosis to Discord ops
                                               on every cycle (8+ posts
                                               in 1 min observed)
  action.issues_triage_critical             — ~447 fires in 30 min
  action.issues_triage_bugs                 — ~447 fires in 30 min;
                                               compounds with #3503
                                               by re-triaging same issues
  action.fleet_downshift_models             — same pattern when cost
                                               exceeds budget

ALL share the same pattern as the alert.* actions and the original
fleet_incident_response: effects: [] + no cooldownMs + persistent goal
violation = infinite re-fire.

Mitigation only — Ava temporarily can't auto-investigate orphaned
skills or auto-triage new GitHub issues. Reinstate when issue #437
ships action-level cooldown (meta.cooldownMs) or proper effects-with-TTL.
The alert.* siblings (24 of them) also have this bug but are
non-impacting today because DISCORD_WEBHOOK_ALERTS is unset and
WorldEngineAlertPlugin drops them silently — fixing #437 will cover
both at the dispatcher level.




* feat(goap): per-action cooldown in ActionDispatcher (closes #437) (#452)

GOAP actions with `effects: []` re-fired every planning cycle (~3s) while
their goal stayed violated. Two prod fires (PR #436, PR #451) had to
disable 6 actions before this lands. Restoring autonomy.

ActionDispatcherPlugin now honors `meta.cooldownMs` on every action. When
an action with a positive cooldownMs fires, the dispatcher records its
timestamp; subsequent dispatches of the same action id within the window
are dropped BEFORE the WIP queue and BEFORE the executor. Single chokepoint
covers both alert.* (FunctionExecutor → Discord) and action.* (DeepAgent /
A2A) paths. Drops log a fail-fast diagnostic with action id, age, and
remaining window, plus bump a new `cooldown_dropped` telemetry event.

Cooldown bucket is keyed on action id alone — per-target keying isn't
needed because each GOAP action targets one situation. Greenfield shape:
absence of `meta.cooldownMs` means "no cooldown" naturally, no flag.

Defaults applied to workspace/actions.yaml:
  - alert.*                          → 15 min
  - action.* with skillHint          → 30 min (agent work is expensive)
  - action.pr_*                      → 5 min  (remediation must stay responsive)
  - ceremony.*                       → 30 min (treated as skill dispatch)
  - action.dispatch_backmerge        → none (in-handler per-repo cooldown
                                              in pr-remediator stays authoritative)

Re-enables the 6 actions disabled by PRs #436 and #451:
alert.fleet_agent_stuck, action.fleet_incident_response,
action.fleet_downshift_models, action.fleet_investigate_orphaned_skills,
action.issues_triage_critical, action.issues_triage_bugs.

Tests:
  - action-dispatcher unit tests cover: blocks repeats within window;
    A's cooldown does not affect B; window expiry admits next dispatch;
    absent cooldownMs and cooldownMs<=0 mean no throttling.
  - End-to-end test spam-publishes 100 violations of fleet.no_skill_orphaned
    and asserts exactly 1 dispatch reaches the executor.
  - bun test: 1023 / 1023 pass.




* fix(ceremonies): route 4 ceremonies to right skill owner, disable 3 broken (#454)

Audit of all 10 workspace/ceremonies/*.yaml against the live agent skill
registry surfaced 7 with skill-target mismatches that fail every fire:

ROUTED to correct skill owner:
  board.cleanup     skill=board_audit    targets [all] → [quinn]
  board.health      skill=board_health   targets [all] → [protomaker]
  daily-standup     skill=board_audit    targets [ava] → [quinn]
  health-check      skill=board_audit    targets [ava] → [quinn]

DISABLED (no agent advertises the skill):
  agent-health      skill=health_check   — no health_check anywhere
  board.retro       skill=pattern_analysis — no pattern_analysis anywhere
  service-health    skill=health_check   — same as agent-health

Quinn owns board_audit (and bug_triage / pr_review / qa_report).
Protomaker owns board_health (and 9 other apps/server skills).
The two `health_check`-keyed ceremonies were redundant anyway — the
agent_health and services world-state domains poll the same data every
60s and expose it on /api/agent-health and /api/services.

Re-enable the disabled three with a real skill if a periodic ANNOUNCE
to Discord is wanted (small `*_health_report` skill on protobot would
do it).

Workspace is bind-mounted, so the live container picks this up on
restart with no rebuild.




* feat(goap): pre-dispatch target registry guard (closes #444) (#455)

The GOAP planner could dispatch a skill to a target agent (e.g.
auto-triage-sweep, user) where the named target wasn't in the live
ExecutorRegistry. The dispatcher fired anyway, the executor errored
404-style, and the failure cascaded into stuck work items + duplicate
incident filings (INC-003 through INC-018, ~93 work items in error
state). The cooldown work in #437 / #452 masked the symptom but the
structural gap remained.

ActionDispatcherPlugin now takes the shared ExecutorRegistry handle and
runs `_admitOrTargetUnresolved` immediately after the cooldown check and
BEFORE the WIP queue / executor. Same chokepoint pattern as cooldown:

  - target absent (skill-routed)            → admit
  - target = "all" (broadcast sentinel)     → admit
  - target matches a registration agentName → admit
  - target unresolvable                     → drop, log loud, telemetry
                                              bump `target_unresolved`

Drops surface action id, the unresolvable target, AND the agents that
DO exist so the routing mistake is immediately diagnosable. The only
opt-out is the broadcast sentinel "all" — there is no flag, no
enabled-bool. Greenfield-strict shape.

Wiring: src/index.ts passes the shared executorRegistry into the
dispatcher factory. Test fixtures that don't exercise target routing
omit the registry and the check is skipped — so existing tests stay
green without modification.

Audit of workspace/actions.yaml: only `protomaker` appears as an active
agentId target (twice). That agent is registered in workspace/agents.yaml.
The historical bad targets (`auto-triage-sweep`, `user`) were removed by
prior cleanup; this PR ensures any future regression fails closed.

Tests added in src/plugins/action-dispatcher-plugin.test.ts:
  - admits when target is registered
  - drops when target is unregistered + bumps `target_unresolved`
  - drops on mixed-target intent (single-target shape today via meta.agentId)
  - admits when target is the "all" broadcast sentinel
  - admits when meta.agentId is absent (skill-routed dispatch)
  - admits when no registry is wired (legacy test fixtures)

bun test: 1029 / 1029 pass.




* fix(ceremony): honor enabled:false on initial load (closes #453) (#456)

PR #415 fixed the hot-reload path so flipping a ceremony to disabled
cancelled its timer, but the initial-load path still added every YAML
entry (disabled or not) to the in-memory registry. Two consequences:

  1. External `ceremony.<id>.execute` triggers (from
     CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin's GOAP bridge) found the disabled
     ceremony in the registry and fired it anyway.
  2. After hot-reload flipped a ceremony enabled→disabled, the entry
     stayed in the registry — same external-trigger leak.

Fix: filter `enabled === false` at every place that lands a ceremony in
the registry (initial install, hot-reload new-file path, hot-reload
changed-file path). Disabled ceremonies are loaded by the YAML parser
(so the changed-file path can detect a flip) but never reach the
registry, never schedule a timer, and cannot be resurrected by an
external trigger. Operators see a `Skipping disabled ceremony: <id>`
log line for each skip — fail-loud per project convention.

Greenfield: no flag, no toggle. enabled:false means disabled
everywhere.




* fix(tests): wrap subscribe-spy push callbacks to return void (#457)

13 TS2322 errors snuck through #452 and #455 because the CI test job
has been failing on type-check while build-and-push (the gate that
actually publishes :dev) is a separate workflow that runs on push.
Result: main/dev were green for container publish even though tsc
--noEmit was returning exit 2. Not visible in PR merge gates either
because test.conclusion=failure + build-and-push.conclusion=skipping
still resolved to a mergeable state.

Pattern of the 13 errors:

  bus.subscribe(T, "spy", (m) => requests.push(m));
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  Array.push() returns number, but the subscribe callback expects
  void | Promise<void>. Fix: wrap the body in a block so the arrow
  returns void:

  bus.subscribe(T, "spy", (m) => { requests.push(m); });

Applied via sed-style regex across both test files. 1029 tests still
pass (bun test). `bun run tsc --noEmit` now exits 0.




* fix(fleet-health): filter outcomes from synthetic actors via registry whitelist (closes #459) (#460)

AgentFleetHealthPlugin now takes an optional ExecutorRegistry (mirrors the
#455 wiring on ActionDispatcherPlugin). On each inbound autonomous.outcome,
`systemActor` is checked against `executorRegistry.list().map(r => r.agentName)`:

- Registered agent (ava, quinn, protomaker, ...) → aggregated in agents[]
  (existing shape, no behavior change).
- Anything else (pr-remediator, auto-triage-sweep, goap, user, ...) →
  routed to a separate systemActors[] bucket. No longer pollutes
  agentCount / maxFailureRate1h / orphanedSkillCount, so Ava's sitreps
  stop surfacing plugin names as "stuck agents".

First time a synthetic actor is seen, the plugin emits a one-time
console.warn naming the actor + skill (fail-fast and loud, per policy)
so operators know what's being filtered. No flag — same greenfield /
chokepoint discipline as #437 (cooldown) and #444 (target guard).

Scope note on `_default`: this plugin keys on outcome `systemActor`,
not registry `agentName`. `_default` only appears in /api/agent-health
(the registry-driven view). Nothing currently publishes an outcome with
`systemActor: "_default"`, so it doesn't reach agents[] here. If it
ever did, the new whitelist would drop it to systemActors[] — the right
outcome.

Verification plan (post-deploy):
  curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/v1/chat/completions \\
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
    -d '{"model":"ava","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"fleet sitrep"}]}'

Expected: no `pr-remediator`, `auto-triage-sweep`, or `user` in agents[].




* fix(a2a): agent card advertises canonical A2A endpoint, not the dashboard URL (#462)

The card at /.well-known/agent-card.json was advertising a URL like
http://ava:8081/a2a — host-mapped to the Astro dashboard, which 404s on
/a2a. Spec-compliant clients (@a2a-js/sdk and friends) doing card
discovery → POST to card.url could not reach the actual A2A endpoint;
the voice agent team papered over this by switching to the
/v1/chat/completions shim.

Fix: derive the card's `url` from variables that describe where the A2A
endpoint actually lives.

  1. WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL (e.g. https://ava.proto-labs.ai) →
     ${publicBase}/a2a. The canonical Cloudflare-fronted URL for
     external/Tailscale callers.
  2. Otherwise, http://${WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST ?? "workstacean"}:${WORKSTACEAN_HTTP_PORT}/a2a
     — docker-network service name + the actual API port.

Also populate `additionalInterfaces` with the JSON-RPC transport at the
same URL so spec-compliant clients can pick deterministically. Drop the
WORKSTACEAN_BASE_URL coupling in the card builder — that variable
remains the externally-reachable URL stamped into A2A push-notification
callbacks (different concern, separate documentation).

Closes #461

* fix: extension URIs use proto-labs.ai (not protolabs.ai) (#407)

All 27 references to https://protolabs.ai/a2a/ext/* changed to
https://proto-labs.ai/a2a/ext/* to match the actual domain. These
URIs are opaque identifiers (not published specs today) but should
reference a domain we own.

Breaking: external agents (Quinn, protoPen) whose cards declare the
old URI will stop matching the registry until they update. Filed on
Quinn to update her card.

* feat: upgrade web_search → searxng_search + give Ava fleet health tools (#411)

Two changes:

1. Replace the basic `web_search` tool (5 results, hardcoded engines)
   with `searxng_search` — adapted from rabbit-hole.io's full-surface
   SearXNG integration. New capabilities:
   - Category routing: general, news, science, it
   - Time range filtering: day, week, month, year
   - Bang syntax: !wp (Wikipedia), !scholar, !gh (GitHub)
   - Infoboxes, direct answers, suggestions in response
   - Configurable max_results (default 10, was 5)

   Updated in both bus-tools.ts (@protolabsai/sdk pattern) and
   deep-agent-executor.ts (LangChain pattern).

2. Give Ava three fleet health tools she was missing:
   - get_ci_health — CI success rates across repos
   - get_pr_pipeline — open PRs, conflicts, staleness
   - get_incidents — security/ops incidents

   Ava can now answer fleet health questions directly instead of
   always delegating to Quinn.

Ava's tool count: 10 → 13. Tool rename: web_search → searxng_search
(greenfield, no backward compat alias).

* feat(ava): expand helm toolset, wire GOAP skills, fix ceremony disable bug (#415)

Ava agent audit + overhaul:
- Tools: 10 → 22 (direct observation, propose_config_change, incident reporting)
- Skills: 3 → 7 (debug_ci_failures, fleet_incident_response, downshift_models, investigate_orphaned_skills)
- System prompt rewritten: self-improvement instructions, escalation policy, GOAP-dispatch playbook
- DeepAgentExecutor now applies skill-level systemPromptOverride (goal_proposal, diagnose_pr_stuck)
- Fix ceremony loader bug: disabled ceremonies were filtered out, preventing hot-reload from cancelling timers
- Clean up board.pr-audit.yaml (remove spurious action field, restore schedule, keep disabled)
- Update docs: README, deep-agent runtime, agent-skills reference, self-improving loop

* fix(pr-remediator): close dispatch gap — self-dispatch + broaden auto-approve (#417)

Two root causes prevented PRs from being auto-merged:

1. Dispatch gap: tier_0 short-circuit in ActionDispatcherPlugin completed
   all actions immediately without dispatching to agent.skill.request.
   Every action in actions.yaml is tier_0, so the fireAndForget path
   (which publishes the skill request) was unreachable dead code.
   Fix: tier_0 now falls through when meta.fireAndForget is set.

2. Approval gap: readyToMerge requires reviewState=approved, but
   auto-approve only covered dependabot/renovate/promote:/chore(deps.
   Human PRs, release PRs (chore(release), and github-actions PRs
   all lacked approved reviews and sat indefinitely.
   Fix: added app/github-actions to authors, chore(release, chore:,
   docs( to safe title prefixes.

Additionally, PrRemediatorPlugin now self-dispatches remediation on
every world.state.updated tick — checking for readyToMerge, dirty,
failingCi, and changesRequested PRs directly from cached domain data.
This removes the dependency on GOAP dispatch reaching the plugin via
pr.remediate.* topics (which were never published in production after
Arc 1.4 removed meta.topic routing).

* feat(goap): issue_zero domain + goals — track open GitHub issues across fleet (#419)

Adds a github_issues domain that polls /repos/{repo}/issues?state=open
for all managed projects and classifies by label (critical, bug,
enhancement). Three GOAP goals enforce issue hygiene:

  - issues.zero_critical (critical severity, max: 0)
  - issues.zero_bugs (high severity, max: 0)
  - issues.total_low (medium severity, max: 5)

Each goal has a matching alert action and a triage dispatch action
that invokes Ava's new issue_triage skill. The skill instructs Ava
to resolve, convert to board features, delegate, or close issues
with rationale — driving toward zero open issues across all repos.

Domain polls every 5 minutes (issue velocity is low, GitHub rate
limits are a concern with 6+ repos).

* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359) (#420)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.

* fix(skill-dispatcher): wire alert.* executors + startup validator (#426) (#427)

Closes the structural gap where 6+ tier_0 fire-and-forget alert skills had
no registered executor, causing SkillDispatcherPlugin to log "No executor
found" and silently drop the dispatch on every GOAP planning cycle.

- AlertSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors for all 24 bare
  alert.* actions in workspace/actions.yaml. Each translates the dispatch
  into a structured message.outbound.discord.alert event consumed by the
  existing WorldEngineAlertPlugin webhook routing.
- validate-action-executors.ts cross-checks the loaded ActionRegistry
  against the live ExecutorRegistry at startup. Surfaces every gap as a
  HIGH-severity Discord alert (goal platform.skills_unwired) and a loud
  console.error. Set WORKSTACEAN_STRICT_WIRING=1 to crash startup instead.
- action.issues_triage_bugs already routes correctly via meta.agentId=ava
  to the existing DeepAgentExecutor for Ava's issue_triage skill — no
  duplicate wiring needed (greenfield).

* fix(ceremonies): stop world.state.# leak from ceremony snapshots (#428)

CeremonyStateExtension was publishing { domain, data } envelopes on
`world.state.snapshot` after every ceremony completion. GoalEvaluatorPlugin
subscribes to `world.state.#`, treated the malformed payload as a WorldState,
and emitted a "Selector ... not found" violation for every loaded goal on
every ceremony tick (the cluster of 25+ violations at each :15/:30 boundary
in the live container logs). All listed selectors (flow.efficiency.ratio,
services.discord.connected, agent_health.agentCount, etc.) actually exist
in the producer output — the goals are correct.

Changes:
- Move ceremony snapshot publish to `ceremony.state.snapshot` (off the
  world.state.# namespace). Leaves the existing CeremoniesState shape and
  consumers unchanged.
- Goal evaluator: defensive payload shape check. Reject single-domain
  envelopes ({ domain, data }) and other non-WorldState payloads loud-once
  instead of generating one violation per goal.
- Goal evaluator: startup selector validator. After the first valid world
  state arrives, walk every loaded goal's selector and HIGH-log any that
  doesn't resolve. Re-armed on goals.reload / config.reload so drift caught
  by future hot-reloads also surfaces.
- Tests: regression guard that CeremonyStateExtension does not publish on
  world.state.#; goal evaluator ignores malformed payloads; validator
  catches an intentionally broken selector.

Closes #424

* fix(rollcall): point /rollcall skill at in-repo script (closes #425) (#429)

The Claude Code skill was calling the homelab-iac copy of agent-rollcall.sh,
which had drifted from this repo's copy. The in-repo script knows about
the in-process DeepAgent runtime (Ava, protoBot, Tuner) and the current
A2A fleet; the homelab-iac copy still probed for the archived ava-agent
container and the deprecated protoaudio/protovoice services.

Single source of truth: this repo. The homelab-iac copy was separately
synced in homelab-iac@64e8dcf.

* Promote dev to main (v0.7.21) (#418) (#423)

* fix: extension URIs use proto-labs.ai (not protolabs.ai) (#407)

All 27 references to https://protolabs.ai/a2a/ext/* changed to
https://proto-labs.ai/a2a/ext/* to match the actual domain. These
URIs are opaque identifiers (not published specs today) but should
reference a domain we own.

Breaking: external agents (Quinn, protoPen) whose cards declare the
old URI will stop matching the registry until they update. Filed on
Quinn to update her card.




* chore(release): bump to v0.7.20 (#408)



* chore: remove protoaudio + protovoice from agent rollcall (#410)

Both services decommissioned. Containers stopped + removed.
Only reference in protoWorkstacean was the rollcall script.

Note: homelab-iac/stacks/ai/docker-compose.yml still has a
worldmonitor network reference at line 521 + service at line 833.
Needs separate cleanup in that repo.




* feat: upgrade web_search → searxng_search + give Ava fleet health tools (#411)

Two changes:

1. Replace the basic `web_search` tool (5 results, hardcoded engines)
   with `searxng_search` — adapted from rabbit-hole.io's full-surface
   SearXNG integration. New capabilities:
   - Category routing: general, news, science, it
   - Time range filtering: day, week, month, year
   - Bang syntax: !wp (Wikipedia), !scholar, !gh (GitHub)
   - Infoboxes, direct answers, suggestions in response
   - Configurable max_results (default 10, was 5)

   Updated in both bus-tools.ts (@protolabsai/sdk pattern) and
   deep-agent-executor.ts (LangChain pattern).

2. Give Ava three fleet health tools she was missing:
   - get_ci_health — CI success rates across repos
   - get_pr_pipeline — open PRs, conflicts, staleness
   - get_incidents — security/ops incidents

   Ava can now answer fleet health questions directly instead of
   always delegating to Quinn.

Ava's tool count: 10 → 13. Tool rename: web_search → searxng_search
(greenfield, no backward compat alias).




* chore(projects): register protoAgent in projects.yaml (#414)

protoAgent is the new GitHub Template repo that replaces per-agent
A2A bootstrapping. Registers it as an active dev project owned by
Quinn, matching the shape of existing entries. Plane / GitHub
webhook / Discord provisioning remain TODO — those integrations
aren't configured in this deployment, so the onboard plugin
skipped them.




* chore(release): bump to v0.7.21 (#413)



* feat(ava): expand helm toolset, wire GOAP skills, fix ceremony disable bug (#415)

Ava agent audit + overhaul:

* feat(ceremony): wire ceremony.security_triage + ceremony.service_health_discord (#431)

Adds CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin — registers FunctionExecutors that bridge
GOAP `ceremony.*` actions to the matching `ceremony.<id>.execute` topic
CeremonyPlugin already listens for. Without this bridge,
SkillDispatcherPlugin dropped every dispatch with "No executor found …"
and (post-#427) emitted HIGH platform.skills_unwired alerts every cycle.

Mirrors the alert-skill-executor-plugin pattern from #427 — explicit
action→ceremony id mapping, install order matters (after registry,
before skill-dispatcher).

Partial fix for #430.

* fix(pr-remediator): wire 5 GOAP-dispatched skills + honor hitlPolicy (#432)

Closes the structural gap where 5 actions in workspace/actions.yaml route
to handlers in PrRemediatorPlugin but had no registered executor:
  - action.pr_update_branch    → pr.remediate.update_branch
  - action.pr_merge_ready      → pr.remediate.merge_ready
  - action.pr_fix_ci           → pr.remediate.fix_ci
  - action.pr_address_feedback → pr.remediate.address_feedback
  - action.dispatch_backmerge  → pr.backmerge.dispatch

Before this change SkillDispatcherPlugin logged "No executor found" and
dropped the dispatch every GOAP cycle. After PR #427's startup validator
the same gap raised platform.skills_unwired HIGH every tick.

Wiring follows the AlertSkillExecutorPlugin pattern from #427:
  - PrRemediatorSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors that
    publish on the existing pr-remediator subscription topics, keeping
    "bus is the contract" — no plugin holds a reference to the other.
  - Executors are fire-and-forget per actions.yaml meta. They return a
    successful SkillResult immediately; pr-remediator's handler runs
    asynchronously on the bus subscription.
  - Install order matches alert-skill-executor: AFTER ExecutorRegistry
    construction, BEFORE skill-dispatcher.

For action.pr_merge_ready specifically, the meta.hitlPolicy
(ttlMs: 1800000, onTimeout: approve) is now honoured. The executor
forwards meta into the trigger payload; _handleMergeReady extracts it
via _extractHitlPolicy and passes it to _emitHitlApproval, which
populates HITLRequest.{ttlMs, onTimeout}. HITLPlugin already auto-
publishes a synthetic approve response when onTimeout=approve fires.

Closes part of #430. Ceremony + protoMaker actions ship in a separate PR.

* feat(agents): register protomaker A2A agent (closes part of #430) (#433)

protoMaker (apps/server in protoLabsAI/ava) has been A2A-ready for a while —
serves agent-card.json with 10 skills including the two referenced by
unwired GOAP actions:
  - action.protomaker_triage_blocked → skill board_health
  - action.protomaker_start_auto_mode → skill auto_mode

Both actions targeted [protomaker], but no agent named "protomaker" was
registered, so the dispatcher couldn't route. Adding the entry closes
the routing gap; A2AExecutor's existing target-matching does the rest.

Endpoint: http://automaker-server:3008/a2a (verified from inside the
workstacean container with AVA_API_KEY → JSON-RPC 2.0 response).

* fix(agents): drop overscoped subscribesTo from protomaker entry (#434)

#433 added `subscribesTo: message.inbound.github.#` to the new protomaker
agent registration, copy-pasted from quinn's pattern. That was wrong:
protoMaker is reached via explicit GOAP `targets: [protomaker]` dispatches
(action.protomaker_triage_blocked, action.protomaker_start_auto_mode), not
as a broadcast inbound listener.

Quinn already subscribes to all GitHub inbound and dispatches `bug_triage`
on protoMaker's behalf. Having protomaker subscribe to the same broadcast
topic is one of the contributing paths to the duplicate-triage spam loop
filed as protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3503 (the root cause is Quinn's handler
not being idempotent — but this cleanup removes one extra firing path).

* fix(ava): rename web_search → searxng_search to match runtime tool name (#435)

PR #411 renamed the tool from web_search to searxng_search in
src/agent-runtime/tools/bus-tools.ts (line 393), but ava.yaml still
declared the old name. Result: at startup the runtime warns
"agent ava declares unknown tools: web_search" and Ava ends up with no
search capability — when asked, she explicitly responds "I don't have a
searxng_search or web_search tool in my current toolkit."

This is the config side of the half-finished rename that PR #411 missed.
After this lands and workstacean restarts, Ava's toolkit should include
searxng_search and the unknown-tools warning should be empty for her.

* fix(goap): disable fleet_agent_stuck loop — fires every cycle, no dedup (#436)

Two GOAP actions on goal fleet.no_agent_stuck were spamming Discord
because they had no `effects` and no cooldown:

  - alert.fleet_agent_stuck → posts a Discord alert
  - action.fleet_incident_response → dispatches Ava to file an incident,
    page on-call, and pause routing

Observed 2026-04-20: when auto-triage-sweep hit 100% failure rate on
bug_triage (cascading from the non-idempotent handler in
protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3503), GOAP re-fired both actions every planning
cycle. Ava filed INC-003 through INC-009 in ~30 seconds, each posting to
Discord. The pause routing succeeded but the rolling 1h failure rate
metric doesn't drop instantly, so the goal stayed violated and the loop
kept re-firing.

Disabling both actions until proper dedup lands. Reinstate when:
  1. action.fleet_incident_response gains a cooldown OR an `effects`
     marker that satisfies the goal for the cooldown window
  2. Ava's fleet_incident_response skill checks for an existing open
     incident on the same agent before filing a new one
  3. alert.fleet_agent_stuck gains per-agent rate limiting

* fix(goap): disable 4 more action.* loops — same no-cooldown bug as #436 (#451)

After #436 disabled action.fleet_incident_response, observed similar
loop spam from FOUR more action.* dispatches that share the same
architectural bug (no cooldown, no satisfying effects → re-fire every
GOAP cycle while goal stays violated):

  action.fleet_investigate_orphaned_skills  — Ava posts orphaned-skill
                                               diagnosis to Discord ops
                                               on every cycle (8+ posts
                                               in 1 min observed)
  action.issues_triage_critical             — ~447 fires in 30 min
  action.issues_triage_bugs                 — ~447 fires in 30 min;
                                               compounds with #3503
                                               by re-triaging same issues
  action.fleet_downshift_models             — same pattern when cost
                                               exceeds budget

ALL share the same pattern as the alert.* actions and the original
fleet_incident_response: effects: [] + no cooldownMs + persistent goal
violation = infinite re-fire.

Mitigation only — Ava temporarily can't auto-investigate orphaned
skills or auto-triage new GitHub issues. Reinstate when issue #437
ships action-level cooldown (meta.cooldownMs) or proper effects-with-TTL.
The alert.* siblings (24 of them) also have this bug but are
non-impacting today because DISCORD_WEBHOOK_ALERTS is unset and
WorldEngineAlertPlugin drops them silently — fixing #437 will cover
both at the dispatcher level.

* feat(goap): per-action cooldown in ActionDispatcher (closes #437) (#452)

GOAP actions with `effects: []` re-fired every planning cycle (~3s) while
their goal stayed violated. Two prod fires (PR #436, PR #451) had to
disable 6 actions before this lands. Restoring autonomy.

ActionDispatcherPlugin now honors `meta.cooldownMs` on every action. When
an action with a positive cooldownMs fires, the dispatcher records its
timestamp; subsequent dispatches of the same action id within the window
are dropped BEFORE the WIP queue and BEFORE the executor. Single chokepoint
covers both alert.* (FunctionExecutor → Discord) and action.* (DeepAgent /
A2A) paths. Drops log a fail-fast diagnostic with action id, age, and
remaining window, plus bump a new `cooldown_dropped` telemetry event.

Cooldown bucket is keyed on action id alone — per-target keying isn't
needed because each GOAP action targets one situation. Greenfield shape:
absence of `meta.cooldownMs` means "no cooldown" naturally, no flag.

Defaults applied to workspace/actions.yaml:
  - alert.*                          → 15 min
  - action.* with skillHint          → 30 min (agent work is expensive)
  - action.pr_*                      → 5 min  (remediation must stay responsive)
  - ceremony.*                       → 30 min (treated as skill dispatch)
  - action.dispatch_backmerge        → none (in-handler per-repo cooldown
                                              in pr-remediator stays authoritative)

Re-enables the 6 actions disabled by PRs #436 and #451:
alert.fleet_agent_stuck, action.fleet_incident_response,
action.fleet_downshift_models, action.fleet_investigate_orphaned_skills,
action.issues_triage_critical, action.issues_triage_bugs.

Tests:
  - action-dispatcher unit tests cover: blocks repeats within window;
    A's cooldown does not affect B; window expiry admits next dispatch;
    absent cooldownMs and cooldownMs<=0 mean no throttling.
  - End-to-end test spam-publishes 100 violations of fleet.no_skill_orphaned
    and asserts exactly 1 dispatch reaches the executor.
  - bun test: 1023 / 1023 pass.

* fix(ceremonies): route 4 ceremonies to right skill owner, disable 3 broken (#454)

Audit of all 10 workspace/ceremonies/*.yaml against the live agent skill
registry surfaced 7 with skill-target mismatches that fail every fire:

ROUTED to correct skill owner:
  board.cleanup     skill=board_audit    targets [all] → [quinn]
  board.health      skill=board_health   targets [all] → [protomaker]
  daily-standup     skill=board_audit    targets [ava] → [quinn]
  health-check      skill=board_audit    targets [ava] → [quinn]

DISABLED (no agent advertises the skill):
  agent-health      skill=health_check   — no health_check anywhere
  board.retro       skill=pattern_analysis — no pattern_analysis anywhere
  service-health    skill=health_check   — same as agent-health

Quinn owns board_audit (and bug_triage / pr_review / qa_report).
Protomaker owns board_health (and 9 other apps/server skills).
The two `health_check`-keyed ceremonies were redundant anyway — the
agent_health and services world-state domains poll the same data every
60s and expose it on /api/agent-health and /api/services.

Re-enable the disabled three with a real skill if a periodic ANNOUNCE
to Discord is wanted (small `*_health_report` skill on protobot would
do it).

Workspace is bind-mounted, so the live container picks this up on
restart with no rebuild.

* feat(goap): pre-dispatch target registry guard (closes #444) (#455)

The GOAP planner could dispatch a skill to a target agent (e.g.
auto-triage-sweep, user) where the named target wasn't in the live
ExecutorRegistry. The dispatcher fired anyway, the executor errored
404-style, and the failure cascaded into stuck work items + duplicate
incident filings (INC-003 through INC-018, ~93 work items in error
state). The cooldown work in #437 / #452 masked the symptom but the
structural gap remained.

ActionDispatcherPlugin now takes the shared ExecutorRegistry handle and
runs `_admitOrTargetUnresolved` immediately after the cooldown check and
BEFORE the WIP queue / executor. Same chokepoint pattern as cooldown:

  - target absent (skill-routed)            → admit
  - target = "all" (broadcast sentinel)     → admit
  - target matches a registration agentName → admit
  - target unresolvable                     → drop, log loud, telemetry
                                              bump `target_unresolved`

Drops surface action id, the unresolvable target, AND the agents that
DO exist so the routing mistake is immediately diagnosable. The only
opt-out is the broadcast sentinel "all" — there is no flag, no
enabled-bool. Greenfield-strict shape.

Wiring: src/index.ts passes the shared executorRegistry into the
dispatcher factory. Test fixtures that don't exercise target routing
omit the registry and the check is skipped — so existing tests stay
green without modification.

Audit of workspace/actions.yaml: only `protomaker` appears as an active
agentId target (twice). That agent is registered in workspace/agents.yaml.
The historical bad targets (`auto-triage-sweep`, `user`) were removed by
prior cleanup; this PR ensures any future regression fails closed.

Tests added in src/plugins/action-dispatcher-plugin.test.ts:
  - admits when target is registered
  - drops when target is unregistered + bumps `target_unresolved`
  - drops on mixed-target intent (single-target shape today via meta.agentId)
  - admits when target is the "all" broadcast sentinel
  - admits when meta.agentId is absent (skill-routed dispatch)
  - admits when no registry is wired (legacy test fixtures)

bun test: 1029 / 1029 pass.

* fix(ceremony): honor enabled:false on initial load (closes #453) (#456)

PR #415 fixed the hot-reload path so flipping a ceremony to disabled
cancelled its timer, but the initial-load path still added every YAML
entry (disabled or not) to the in-memory registry. Two consequences:

  1. External `ceremony.<id>.execute` triggers (from
     CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin's GOAP bridge) found the disabled
     ceremony in the registry and fired it anyway.
  2. After hot-reload flipped a ceremony enabled→disabled, the entry
     stayed in the registry — same external-trigger leak.

Fix: filter `enabled === false` at every place that lands a ceremony in
the registry (initial install, hot-reload new-file path, hot-reload
changed-file path). Disabled ceremonies are loaded by the YAML parser
(so the changed-file path can detect a flip) but never reach the
registry, never schedule a timer, and cannot be resurrected by an
external trigger. Operators see a `Skipping disabled ceremony: <id>`
log line for each skip — fail-loud per project convention.

Greenfield: no flag, no toggle. enabled:false means disabled
everywhere.

* fix(tests): wrap subscribe-spy push callbacks to return void (#457)

13 TS2322 errors snuck through #452 and #455 because the CI test job
has been failing on type-check while build-and-push (the gate that
actually publishes :dev) is a separate workflow that runs on push.
Result: main/dev were green for container publish even though tsc
--noEmit was returning exit 2. Not visible in PR merge gates either
because test.conclusion=failure + build-and-push.conclusion=skipping
still resolved to a mergeable state.

Pattern of the 13 errors:

  bus.subscribe(T, "spy", (m) => requests.push(m));
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  Array.push() returns number, but the subscribe callback expects
  void | Promise<void>. Fix: wrap the body in a block so the arrow
  returns void:

  bus.subscribe(T, "spy", (m) => { requests.push(m); });

Applied via sed-style regex across both test files. 1029 tests still
pass (bun test). `bun run tsc --noEmit` now exits 0.

* fix(fleet-health): filter outcomes from synthetic actors via registry whitelist (closes #459) (#460)

AgentFleetHealthPlugin now takes an optional ExecutorRegistry (mirrors the
#455 wiring on ActionDispatcherPlugin). On each inbound autonomous.outcome,
`systemActor` is checked against `executorRegistry.list().map(r => r.agentName)`:

- Registered agent (ava, quinn, protomaker, ...) → aggregated in agents[]
  (existing shape, no behavior change).
- Anything else (pr-remediator, auto-triage-sweep, goap, user, ...) →
  routed to a separate systemActors[] bucket. No longer pollutes
  agentCount / maxFailureRate1h / orphanedSkillCount, so Ava's sitreps
  stop surfacing plugin names as "stuck agents".

First time a synthetic actor is seen, the plugin emits a one-time
console.warn naming the actor + skill (fail-fast and loud, per policy)
so operators know what's being filtered. No flag — same greenfield /
chokepoint discipline as #437 (cooldown) and #444 (target guard).

Scope note on `_default`: this plugin keys on outcome `systemActor`,
not registry `agentName`. `_default` only appears in /api/agent-health
(the registry-driven view). Nothing currently publishes an outcome with
`systemActor: "_default"`, so it doesn't reach agents[] here. If it
ever did, the new whitelist would drop it to systemActors[] — the right
outcome.

Verification plan (post-deploy):
  curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/v1/chat/completions \\
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
    -d '{"model":"ava","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"fleet sitrep"}]}'

Expected: no `pr-remediator`, `auto-triage-sweep`, or `user` in agents[].

* fix(a2a): agent card advertises canonical A2A endpoint, not the dashboard URL (#462)

The card at /.well-known/agent-card.json was advertising a URL like
http://ava:8081/a2a — host-mapped to the Astro dashboard, which 404s on
/a2a. Spec-compliant clients (@a2a-js/sdk and friends) doing card
discovery → POST to card.url could not reach the actual A2A endpoint;
the voice agent team papered over this by switching to the
/v1/chat/completions shim.

Fix: derive the card's `url` from variables that describe where the A2A
endpoint actually lives.

  1. WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL (e.g. https://ava.proto-labs.ai) →
     ${publicBase}/a2a. The canonical Cloudflare-fronted URL for
     external/Tailscale callers.
  2. Otherwise, http://${WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST ?? "workstacean"}:${WORKSTACEAN_HTTP_PORT}/a2a
     — docker-network service name + the actual API port.

Also populate `additionalInterfaces` with the JSON-RPC transport at the
same URL so spec-compliant clients can pick deterministically. Drop the
WORKSTACEAN_BASE_URL coupling in the card builder — that variable
remains the externally-reachable URL stamped into A2A push-notification
callbacks (different concern, separate documentation).

Closes #461

* fix(pr-remediator): never auto-close promotion PRs on decomposable verdict (closes #465) (#469)

Two-layer fix per the issue body:

Layer A — Ava's diagnose_pr_stuck prompt (workspace/agents/ava.yaml):
The promotion-PR rule is now stated FIRST, above the four verdict
definitions. When the head is dev/staging OR base is main/staging OR
title starts "Promote"/"promote:", the verdict is always rebasable —
drift between branches is fixed with a back-merge of base into head,
not by splitting the PR. Phrased in positive framing per the
no-negative-reinforcement memory.

Layer B — code guard (lib/plugins/pr-remediator.ts):
New isPromotionPr() helper, called at the case "decomposable" handler
chokepoint before the close+comment path. On promotion PRs the guard
warns loudly (naming head/base/title), escalates to HITL via the
existing _emitStuckHitlEscalation pathway, and returns. PrDomainEntry
gains an optional headRef field; src/api/github.ts surfaces pr.head.ref
in the pr_pipeline domain so the guard can see it. _dispatchDiagnose
also adds "Head branch:" to the prompt payload so Ava sees the same
field.

Same defense-in-depth shape as #437 (cooldown), #444 (target registry),
#459 (synthetic actor filter): invariants live at the action-site
chokepoint, not at the planner. A drifting prompt cannot close a
release-pipeline PR.

Tests: 4 new cases in src/pr-remediator.test.ts cover refactor PR
(still closes), dev→main / staging→main / dev→staging promotion PRs
(escalate to HITL, do NOT close). Full suite 1047/1047 pass.

* fix(pr-remediator): guard ttlMs against Infinity/NaN with Number.isFinite

_extractHitlPolicy accepted any typeof "number" for ttlMs, which includes
Infinity and NaN. Both pass the typeof check but cause
new Date(Date.now() + ttlMs).toISOString() to throw a RangeError.

Fix: add Number.isFinite(p.ttlMs) && p.ttlMs > 0 guard.

* fix(plugins): gate pr-remediator-skill-executor with GitHub credential condition

`pr-remediator-skill-executor` was unconditionally installed (condition: () => true),
but `pr-remediator` itself is gated on GitHub credentials. When creds are absent,
dispatches to `pr.remediate.*` topics passed validation and the executor ran — but
no subscriber consumed them, resulting in silent success with no actual work done.

Fix: apply the same condition guard used by `pr-remediator`:
  !!(process.env.QUINN_APP_PRIVATE_KEY || process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN)

Resolves GitHub issue #467 (CodeRabbit finding #4 from PR #466).

* fix(a2a-server): default to [ava] target + sanitize upstream HTML errors (closes #471) (#473)

Two bugs reported by protoVoice against ava.proto-labs.ai/a2a:

1. message/send with no metadata routed to protoBot (the router's
   default chat agent) instead of Ava. This endpoint is Ava's — the
   orchestrator card aggregates the fleet's skills, but routing defaults
   here must be Ava. Callers targeting another agent pass explicit
   metadata.targets. Logs an info line on the default path so operators
   can see the fallback firing.

2. When a downstream A2A sub-call was misrouted (e.g. upstream
   protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3536 — broken card URL), the raw HTML 404 page
   bubbled through the bus response's content field and was rendered as
   the assistant's reply text. BusAgentExecutor now detects HTML-looking
   payloads (<!DOCTYPE, <html, Cannot POST/GET, 404 Not Found), treats
   them as failures, logs the raw payload at warn level for debugging,
   and replaces the final message text with a sanitized operator-facing
   string that includes a short stripped debug hint.

No flag, no opt-out — greenfield, new behavior is the only behavior.

* fix(467): clear remaining hardening items from CodeRabbit PR #466 review

Closes the three open CodeRabbit findings from #466 not yet shipped
(items #2 and #4 already landed via #470 and 9792b0c).

#467 finding #1 (.claude/commands/rollcall.md):
  Hard-coded operator path /home/josh/dev/... → relative path
  scripts/agent-rollcall.sh with explicit "from repo root" guidance.
  Works for any clone; matches every other repo-script reference.

#467 finding #3 (README.md env table):
  Add a dedicated env-table row for WORKSTACEAN_INTERNAL_HOST so it's
  discoverable by anyone overriding the docker-network default.
  Cross-references WORKSTACEAN_PUBLIC_BASE_URL.

#467 finding #5 (src/index.ts startup-validator):
  validateActionExecutors() ran BEFORE loadWorkspacePlugins(), so
  executor registrars shipped as workspace plugins were falsely flagged
  in strict mode. It also ran only once at startup, so config.reload of
  actions.yaml bypassed the fail-loud guard.

  Fix: extract a runWiringValidator(reason) helper, call it AFTER all
  plugin loading (core + registered + workspace), and re-run inside the
  CONFIG_RELOAD subscriber after loadActionsYaml(). New "[reload-validator]"
  log tag distinguishes the call sites.

Tests: 1054/1054 pass.

* Promote dev → main: agent card + fleet-health filter + ceremony fixes (v0.7.22 candidate, re-cut) (#466) (#468)

* fix: extension URIs use proto-labs.ai (not protolabs.ai) (#407)

All 27 references to https://protolabs.ai/a2a/ext/* changed to
https://proto-labs.ai/a2a/ext/* to match the actual domain. These
URIs are opaque identifiers (not published specs today) but should
reference a domain we own.

Breaking: external agents (Quinn, protoPen) whose cards declare the
old URI will stop matching the registry until they update. Filed on
Quinn to update her card.




* chore(release): bump to v0.7.20 (#408)



* chore: remove protoaudio + protovoice from agent rollcall (#410)

Both services decommissioned. Containers stopped + removed.
Only reference in protoWorkstacean was the rollcall script.

Note: homelab-iac/stacks/ai/docker-compose.yml still has a
worldmonitor network reference at line 521 + service at line 833.
Needs separate cleanup in that repo.




* feat: upgrade web_search → searxng_search + give Ava fleet health tools (#411)

Two changes:

1. Replace the basic `web_search` tool (5 results, hardcoded engines)
   with `searxng_search` — adapted from rabbit-hole.io's full-surface
   SearXNG integration. New capabilities:
   - Category routing: general, news, science, it
   - Time range filtering: day, week, month, year
   - Bang syntax: !wp (Wikipedia), !scholar, !gh (GitHub)
   - Infoboxes, direct answers, suggestions in response
   - Configurable max_results (default 10, was 5)

   Updated in both bus-tools.ts (@protolabsai/sdk pattern) and
   deep-agent-executor.ts (LangChain pattern).

2. Give Ava three fleet health tools she was missing:
   - get_ci_health — CI success rates across repos
   - get_pr_pipeline — open PRs, conflicts, staleness
   - get_incidents — security/ops incidents

   Ava can now answer fleet health questions directly instead of
   always delegating to Quinn.

Ava's tool count: 10 → 13. Tool rename: web_search → searxng_search
(greenfield, no backward compat alias).




* chore(projects): register protoAgent in projects.yaml (#414)

protoAgent is the new GitHub Template repo that replaces per-agent
A2A bootstrapping. Registers it as an active dev project owned by
Quinn, matching the shape of existing entries. Plane / GitHub
webhook / Discord provisioning remain TODO — those integrations
aren't configured in this deployment, so the onboard plugin
skipped them.




* chore(release): bump to v0.7.21 (#413)



* feat(ava): expand helm toolset, wire GOAP skills, fix ceremony disable bug (#415)

Ava agent audit + overhaul:
- Tools: 10 → 22 (direct observation, propose_config_change, incident reporting)
- Skills: 3 → 7 (debug_ci_failures, fleet_incident_response, downshift_models, investigate_orphaned_skills)
- System prompt rewritten: self-improvement instructions, escalation policy, GOAP-dispatch playbook
- DeepAgentExecutor now applies skill-level systemPromptOverride (goal_proposal, diagnose_pr_stuck)
- Fix ceremony loader bug: disabled ceremonies were filtered out, preventing hot-reload from cancelling timers
- Clean up board.pr-audit.yaml (remove spurious action field, restore schedule, keep disabled)
- Update docs: README, deep-agent runtime, agent-skills reference, self-improving loop




* fix(pr-remediator): close dispatch gap — self-dispatch + broaden auto-approve (#417)

Two root causes prevented PRs from being auto-merged:

1. Dispatch gap: tier_0 short-circuit in ActionDispatcherPlugin completed
   all actions immediately without dispatching to agent.skill.request.
   Every action in actions.yaml is tier_0, so the fireAndForget path
   (which publishes the skill request) was unreachable dead code.
   Fix: tier_0 now falls through when meta.fireAndForget is set.

2. Approval gap: readyToMerge requires reviewState=approved, but
   auto-approve only covered dependabot/renovate/promote:/chore(deps.
   Human PRs, release PRs (chore(release), and github-actions PRs
   all lacked approved reviews and sat indefinitely.
   Fix: added app/github-actions to authors, chore(release, chore:,
   docs( to safe title prefixes.

Additionally, PrRemediatorPlugin now self-dispatches remediation on
every world.state.updated tick — checking for readyToMerge, dirty,
failingCi, and changesRequested PRs directly from cached domain data.
This removes the dependency on GOAP dispatch reaching the plugin via
pr.remediate.* topics (which were never published in production after
Arc 1.4 removed meta.topic routing).




* feat(goap): issue_zero domain + goals — track open GitHub issues across fleet (#419)

Adds a github_issues domain that polls /repos/{repo}/issues?state=open
for all managed projects and classifies by label (critical, bug,
enhancement). Three GOAP goals enforce issue hygiene:

  - issues.zero_critical (critical severity, max: 0)
  - issues.zero_bugs (high severity, max: 0)
  - issues.total_low (medium severity, max: 5)

Each goal has a matching alert action and a triage dispatch action
that invokes Ava's new issue_triage skill. The skill instructs Ava
to resolve, convert to board features, delegate, or close issues
with rationale — driving toward zero open issues across all repos.

Domain polls every 5 minutes (issue velocity is low, GitHub rate
limits are a concern with 6+ repos).




* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359) (#420)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.




* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching (#421)

* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.



* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching

"Promote dev to main" titles start with capital P, but the prefix
check was case-sensitive against "promote:". Now lowercases the
title before matching so both "promote:" and "Promote" patterns
are caught.



---------




* fix(skill-dispatcher): wire alert.* executors + startup validator (#426) (#427)

Closes the structural gap where 6+ tier_0 fire-and-forget alert skills had
no registered executor, causing SkillDispatcherPlugin to log "No executor
found" and silently drop the dispatch on every GOAP planning cycle.

- AlertSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors for all 24 bare
  alert.* actions in workspace/actions.yaml. Each translates the dispatch
  into a structured message.outbound.discord.alert event consumed by the
  existing WorldEngineAlertPlugin webhook routing.
- validate-action-executors.ts cross-checks the loaded ActionRegistry
  against the live ExecutorRegistry at startup. Surfaces every gap as a
  HIGH-severity Discord alert (goal platform.skills_unwired) and a loud
  console.error. Set WORKSTACEAN_STRICT_WIRING=1 to crash startup instead.
- action.issues_triage_bugs already routes correctly via meta.agentId=ava
  to the existing DeepAgentExecutor for Ava's issue_triage skill — no
  duplicate wiring needed (greenfield).




* fix(ceremonies): stop world.state.# leak from ceremony snapshots (#428)

CeremonyStateExtension was publishing { domain, data } envelopes on
`world.state.snapshot` after every ceremony completion. GoalEvaluatorPlugin
subscribes to `world.state.#`, treated the malformed payload as a WorldState,
and emitted a "Selector ... not found" violation for every loaded goal on
every ceremony tick (the cluster of 25+ violations at each :15/:30 boundary
in the live container logs). All listed selectors (flow.efficiency.ratio,
services.discord.connected, agent_health.agentCount, etc.) actually exist
in the producer output — the goals are correct.

Changes:
- Move ceremony snapshot publish to `ceremony.state.snapshot` (off the
  world.state.# namespace). Leaves the existing CeremoniesState shape and
  consumers unchanged.
- Goal evaluator: defensive payload shape check. Reject single-domain
  envelopes ({ domain, data }) and other non-WorldState payloads loud-once
  instead of generating one violation per goal.
- Goal evaluator: startup selector validator. After the first valid world
  state arrives, walk every loaded goal's selector and HIGH-log any that
  doesn't resolve. Re-armed on goals.reload / config.reload so drift caught
  by future hot-reloads also surfaces.
- Tests: regression guard that CeremonyStateExtension does not publish on
  world.state.#; goal evaluator ignores malformed payloads; validator
  catches an intentionally broken selector.

Closes #424




* fix(rollcall): point /rollcall skill at in-repo script (closes #425) (#429)

The Claude Code skill was calling the homelab-iac copy of agent-rollcall.sh,
which had drifted from this repo's copy. The in-repo script knows about
the in-process DeepAgent runtime (Ava, protoBot, Tuner) and the current
A2A fleet; the homelab-iac copy still probed for the archived ava-agent
container and the deprecated protoaudio/protovoice services.

Single source of truth: this repo. The homelab-iac copy was separately
synced in homelab-iac@64e8dcf.




* Promote dev to main (v0.7.21) (#418) (#423)

- Fix ceremony loader bug: disabled ceremonies were filtered out, preventing hot-reload from cancelling timers
- Clean up board.pr-audit.yaml (remove spurious action field, restore schedule, keep disabled)
- Update docs: README, deep-agent runtime, agent-skills reference, self-improving loop




* fix(pr-remediator): close dispatch gap — self-dispatch + broaden auto-approve (#417)

Two root causes prevented PRs from being auto-merged:

1. Dispatch gap: tier_0 short-circuit in ActionDispatcherPlugin completed
   all actions immediately without dispatching to agent.skill.request.
   Every action in actions.yaml is tier_0, so the fireAndForget path
   (which publishes the skill request) was unreachable dead code.
   Fix: tier_0 now falls through when meta.fireAndForget is set.

2. Approval gap: readyToMerge requires reviewState=approved, but
   auto-approve only covered dependabot/renovate/promote:/chore(deps.
   Human PRs, release PRs (chore(release), and github-actions PRs
   all lacked approved reviews and sat indefinitely.
   Fix: added app/github-actions to authors, chore(release, chore:,
   docs( to safe title prefixes.

Additionally, PrRemediatorPlugin now self-dispatches remediation on
every world.state.updated tick — checking for readyToMerge, dirty,
failingCi, and changesRequested PRs directly from cached domain data.
This removes the dependency on GOAP dispatch reaching the plugin via
pr.remediate.* topics (which were never published in production after
Arc 1.4 removed meta.topic routing).




* feat(goap): issue_zero domain + goals — track open GitHub issues across fleet (#419)

Adds a github_issues domain that polls /repos/{repo}/issues?state=open
for all managed projects and classifies by label (critical, bug,
enhancement). Three GOAP goals enforce issue hygiene:

  - issues.zero_critical (critical severity, max: 0)
  - issues.zero_bugs (high severity, max: 0)
  - issues.total_low (medium severity, max: 5)

Each goal has a matching alert action and a triage dispatch action
that invokes Ava's new issue_triage skill. The skill instructs Ava
to resolve, convert to board features, delegate, or close issues
with rationale — driving toward zero open issues across all repos.

Domain polls every 5 minutes (issue velocity is low, GitHub rate
limits are a concern with 6+ repos).




* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359) (#420)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.




* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching (#421)

* feat: manage_board list action (#247) + a2a.trace extension (#359)

Two enhancements to reach issue zero:

manage_board list (#247):
  - Added GET /api/board/features/list endpoint proxying to Studio
  - Added "list" action to manage_board tool with status filter
  - Ava can now query "show me all blocked features" directly

a2a.trace extension (#359):
  - New langfuse-trace extension stamps a2a.trace metadata on all
    outbound A2A dispatches (traceId, callerAgent, skill, project)
  - Quinn reads this to link Langfuse traces across agent boundaries
  - Registered at startup alongside cost/confidence/blast extensions

Closes #247, closes #359.



* fix(pr-remediator): case-insensitive auto-approve prefix matching

"Promote dev to main" titles start with capital P, but the prefix
check was case-sensitive against "promote:". Now lowercases the
title before matching so both "promote:" and "Promote" patterns
are caught.

* feat(ceremony): wire ceremony.security_triage + ceremony.service_health_discord (#431)

Adds CeremonySkillExecutorPlugin — registers FunctionExecutors that bridge
GOAP `ceremony.*` actions to the matching `ceremony.<id>.execute` topic
CeremonyPlugin already listens for. Without this bridge,
SkillDispatcherPlugin dropped every dispatch with "No executor found …"
and (post-#427) emitted HIGH platform.skills_unwired alerts every cycle.

Mirrors the alert-skill-executor-plugin pattern from #427 — explicit
action→ceremony id mapping, install order matters (after registry,
before skill-dispatcher).

Partial fix for #430.




* fix(pr-remediator): wire 5 GOAP-dispatched skills + honor hitlPolicy (#432)

Closes the structural gap where 5 actions in workspace/actions.yaml route
to handlers in PrRemediatorPlugin but had no registered executor:
  - action.pr_update_branch    → pr.remediate.update_branch
  - action.pr_merge_ready      → pr.remediate.merge_ready
  - action.pr_fix_ci           → pr.remediate.fix_ci
  - action.pr_address_feedback → pr.remediate.address_feedback
  - action.dispatch_backmerge  → pr.backmerge.dispatch

Before this change SkillDispatcherPlugin logged "No executor found" and
dropped the dispatch every GOAP cycle. After PR #427's startup validator
the same gap raised platform.skills_unwired HIGH every tick.

Wiring follows the AlertSkillExecutorPlugin pattern from #427:
  - PrRemediatorSkillExecutorPlugin registers FunctionExecutors that
    publish on the existing pr-remediator subscription topics, keeping
    "bus is the contract" — no plugin holds a reference to the other.
  - Executors are fire-and-forget per actions.yaml meta. They return a
    successful SkillResult immediately; pr-remediator's handler runs
    asynchronously on the bus subscription.
  - Install order matches alert-skill-executor: AFTER ExecutorRegistry
    construction, BEFORE skill-dispatcher.

For action.pr_merge_ready specifically, the meta.hitlPolicy
(ttlMs: 1800000, onTimeout: approve) is now honoured. The executor
forwards meta into the trigger payload; _handleMergeReady extracts it
via _extractHitlPolicy and passes it to _emitHitlApproval, which
populates HITLRequest.{ttlMs, onTimeout}. HITLPlugin already auto-
publishes a synthetic approve response when onTimeout=approve fires.

Closes part of #430. Ceremony + protoMaker actions ship in a separate PR.




* feat(agents): register protomaker A2A agent (closes part of #430) (#433)

protoMaker (apps/server in protoLabsAI/ava) has been A2A-ready for a while —
serves agent-card.json with 10 skills including the two referenced by
unwired GOAP actions:
  - action.protomaker_triage_blocked → skill board_health
  - action.protomaker_start_auto_mode → skill auto_mode

Both actions targeted [protomaker], but no agent named "protomaker" was
registered, so the dispatcher couldn't route. Adding the entry closes
the routing gap; A2AExecutor's existing target-matching does the rest.

Endpoint: http://automaker-server:3008/a2a (verified from inside the
workstacean container with AVA_API_KEY → JSON-RPC 2.0 response).




* fix(agents): drop overscoped subscribesTo from protomaker entry (#434)

#433 added `subscribesTo: message.inbound.github.#` to the new protomaker
agent registration, copy-pasted from quinn's pattern. That was wrong:
protoMaker is reached via explicit GOAP `targets: [protomaker]` dispatches
(action.protomaker_triage_blocked, action.protomaker_start_auto_mode), not
as a broadcast inbound listener.

Quinn already subscribes to all GitHub inbound and dispatches `bug_triage`
on protoMaker's behalf. Having protomaker subscribe to the same broadcast
topic is one of the contributing paths to the duplicate-triage spam loop
filed as protoLabsAI/protoMaker#3503 (the root cause is Quinn's handler
not being idempotent — but this cleanup remove…
