Summary

  • Scope and author SPEC-006 for task 65506574 (Make Baton the durable agent workflow, evidence, and communication ledger), breaking it down into 4 sub-tickets totaling 23pt (65506574-A through D).
  • Update R13 sprint plan and handoff docs to unblock Tier 0/1 card visual representations.
  • Build card signal system prototype components (\SignalOrb.tsx, \HeatRail.tsx, \TaskCardSignalPrototype.tsx) and test suite (51 passing unit tests).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added task-card visual signals for priority, health, progress, activity heat, ownership, milestones, and exceptions.
    • Added accessible activity heat rails and configurable progress indicators.
    • Introduced a task-detail experience specification covering outcome-focused summaries, readiness, unified activity, responsive layouts, and progressive disclosure.
    • Defined durable agent execution tracking for leases, evidence, and handoffs across API and interface workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Updated delivery plans, sequencing, requirements, estimates, dependencies, and acceptance criteria for task-detail and agent-operations work.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for activity-heat score tier mapping.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@JustAGhosT, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 79 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4f044

This PR adds the durable-ledger specification and card-signal prototype, but it currently leaves lease authorization and audit retention unsafe, omits required card states and keyboard behavior, and contains incomplete activity and execution guidance. Merging as-is could lead to incorrect identity claims, lost audit history, misleading task status, or inconsistent implementation, so the PR is not merge-ready until these issues are fixed.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/plans/baton-ux-sprint-r13.md`:
- Line 43: Update the Tier 1 ticket-count references in the sprint plan after
adding b757bdce: change “All 5” and “all 5 core UX tickets” to reflect six
tickets, and explicitly identify which tickets remain unestimated.
- Around line 89-94: The sequencing diagram must not imply that business task
detail b757bdce depends on card-signal PRD 98b4bffa. Update the diagram to show
b757bdce in a parallel track, preserving its documented PRD-004/SPEC-007
approval gate and Wave 1 placement.

In `@docs/specs/SPEC-006-agent-ops-durable-ledger.md`:
- Around line 84-90: Update the lease API contract so all lease operations
require authentication and task-level authorization, with the server deriving
lease_holder from the authenticated actor instead of accepting a client-provided
agentId. Require the current lease token holder for renew, heartbeat, and
release operations, and document these authorization and identity-binding rules
alongside the lease endpoints.
- Around line 26-35: Add an append-only lease-event record for lease
acquisition, renewal, takeover, expiry, and release, preserving each holder,
token, and authority transition historically. Retain the tasks.lease_* columns
as the current-state cache, and define the event record with the task reference
and relevant lease timestamps or transition metadata.
- Line 84: Update the fenced endpoint block in
SPEC-006-agent-ops-durable-ledger.md to use text as the language identifier
after its opening fence, without changing the block’s contents.
- Line 45: Update the durable ledger schema’s task reference to prevent deleting
ledger records when the associated task is removed: replace the ON DELETE
CASCADE behavior on task_id with a restrictive or non-cascading relationship, or
otherwise retain a durable task reference. Apply the same change to the
additional task reference identified in the diff.

In `@docs/specs/SPEC-007-business-task-detail-and-unified-activity.md`:
- Around line 95-100: The activity presentation contract must expose a
deterministic grouping identity for the rules in “Grouping rules.” Update
ActivityPresentationItem so groupKey is required, or add canonical
actor/session, event-family, delivery-artifact, and trace/run fields with an
explicit server or adapter derivation; ensure the derivation applies the
30-minute window while trace/run IDs override it and separates later outcomes
from prior groups.
- Around line 79-84: Update ActivityPresentationItem and its adapter/rendering
flow to define consistent behavior when task_activity authorName is null: either
supply an established fallback string for actor.name or make the field nullable
and handle null during rendering. Ensure the chosen contract matches the
authorName ?? null data shape and cover the missing-name case.
- Around line 93-94: Define canonical event identity and source precedence for
the transitional adapter before merging comment and task-activity responses,
ensuring comments persisted by add_comment are represented only once. Specify
the canonical ID mapping and update the rawEventIds exactly-once test to cover
overlapping comment/task-activity records.

In `@frontend/src/components/HeatRail.tsx`:
- Around line 29-41: Update HeatRail’s default title construction so an
explicitly supplied tier does not display the default score of 0.0; omit the
points suffix when tier is provided, while retaining the score-based title when
the tier is derived from score.

In `@frontend/src/components/TaskCardSignalPrototype.test.ts`:
- Around line 4-13: Implement lease-state rendering in TaskCard.tsx for active,
stale, and unleased tasks, using the existing task lease data and preserving
current card behavior. Add tests covering each lease state in both light and
dark themes, alongside the existing deriveHeatTier tests, and verify the
expected SPEC-006 presentation for every combination.

In `@frontend/src/components/TaskCardSignalPrototype.tsx`:
- Around line 117-128: The lease-holder badge in TaskCardSignalPrototype should
display “⚠️ stale lease” when isStaleLease is true instead of the agent name;
preserve the existing agent-name rendering for active leases and keep the
current styling and tooltip behavior.
- Around line 60-65: Update the interactive card element in
TaskCardSignalPrototype so onClick supports keyboard activation with Enter and
Space, while preserving click behavior. Only apply role="button", tabIndex, and
the keyboard handler when onClick is present; remove button semantics and tab
focus when it is absent.

In `@HANDOFF.md`:
- Line 54: Update the sequencing plan entry for 65506574 to match HANDOFF.md:
mark it as scoped with its estimate and remove the instruction to scope it
before implementation. Apply the same synchronization to the corresponding entry
for 65506574 referenced at the additional location.

and stale-lease label on the card-signal prototype.
Keep the #108 card-signal prototype and repo-local baselines from main.
Retain SPEC-007 contract additions and the scoped 65506574 sequencing.
Allow 1/1 subtask progress per SPEC-003.
