Auto-nudge agents when messages arrive via liveness loop#4
Merged
Conversation
When a message is delivered to an agent via the /message endpoint, the server now marks the agent for a nudge. The existing liveness loop (which ticks every 1 second and already knows each agent's idle state) picks up the pending nudge on the next tick where the agent is idle and triggers a SingleAgentCheckIn in a goroutine. This ensures agents read new messages promptly without: - Polling (wasteful: ~95% of check-ins would be empty) - Tmux keystroke injection (breaks agent's autonomous protocol discipline) - Manual nudge button clicks from the dashboard Debounce: multiple messages in quick succession coalesce into one nudge. A nudgeInFlight flag prevents duplicate concurrent check-ins for the same agent.

… audio palette complete audio-sme idea #5 (Agent Moods): - playAgentMoodActive(name): ascending root→fifth — agent 'waking up' - playAgentMoodIdle(name): descending fifth→root — agent 'settling down' - Wired in agent_updated SSE via prevStatus captured before in-place patch - Fixes prevStatus capture bug (was reading post-patch, now pre-patch) audio-sme idea #4 (Boss Level): - playSuccess(priority?) now accepts priority — critical tasks get an ascending C5→G5→C6 lead-in run before the chord, theme-aware - KanbanView wires priority on both local drag-drop and remote SSE task_updated audio-sme idea #7 (Heartbeat Mode): - playAgentTick(name): 3ms pentatonic micro-tone at agent's signature freq instead of uniform white noise burst — active fleets sound like a chord - Replaces playActivityTick() in agent_updated handler (still gated by activityTickEnabled) All 12 audio-sme ideas now accounted for: Implemented: #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 Architecture only (#1 Alert Taxonomy already fulfilled by category system)

…beat, control center (#182) * feat(gamification): status pulse rings + event feed stagger + spec update Status pulse animations (StatusBadge.vue): - active: already had ping dot (unchanged) - idle: slow breathe animation (opacity 1.0↔0.45, 3s ease-in-out) - blocked/error: subtle jitter (±1.5px translateX, 0.4s loop) - done: no animation — calm green glow (static) - prefers-reduced-motion: all animations disabled Event feed stagger (EventLog.vue): - New rows slide in from slightly above (translateY -5px → 0, 0.18s) - animation-fill-mode: both keeps initial state before start - prefers-reduced-motion: disabled - Works on DOM insertion — no re-animation on filter/re-render Spec update (gamification.md): - Mark 1.2 (sounds) and 2.2 (all-agents-idle) as implemented - Add 2.3 agent status pulse rings (now implemented) - Add 2.4 agent mood/vibes field - Upgrade 3.5 sound themes to implemented - Add 3.6 agent signature chimes, 3.7 @mention pulse, 3.8 event feed stagger - Remove deterministic SVG avatar item (boss preference: keep existing avatars) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gamification): kanban spring-drop, @mention pulse, fleet vibe, sprint-fix Kanban card spring-drop (KanbanColumn.vue): - Cards enter with a physical spring animation: drop from above, slight overshoot (bounce +5px), then settle. CSS @Keyframes, 0.35s. - prefers-reduced-motion: animation disabled. @mention pulse animation (App.vue + AppSidebar.vue): - SSE agent_message handler now parses @mentions from message content. - Mentioned agent's card in sidebar pulses with a 3s ring animation (box-shadow expand/fade, CSS @Keyframes). - Reactive mentionedAgents Set with auto-expiry timers. - AppSidebar accepts mentionedAgents prop and applies .mention-pulse class. Fleet Vibe roll-up (SpaceOverview.vue): - Computed fleetVibe shows a live emoji + label in the space header based on agent status distribution (Shipping / Blocked / On fire / etc.). - Tooltip shows "Fleet vibe: <label>" on hover. - Updates reactively with every SSE agent_updated event. Sprint-complete detection fix (App.vue): - No longer triggers on page load (when agents are already idle). - Requires at least one agent to have been `active` since the last celebration. Resets after celebrating, so next one needs a new active phase. - Requires at least 2 agents — single-agent spaces don't have sprint semantics. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gamification): spawn warp, PR shimmer, confetti priority variations Agent spawn warp animation (App.vue + AppSidebar.vue): - When agent_spawned SSE fires, adds agent to spawnedAgents set (600ms). - AppSidebar applies .agent-spawn CSS class: scale(0.35) → overshoot → settle(1.0) with a ring burst. Feels like a portal opening. - Clears automatically after 600ms animation. PR badge shimmer (AppSidebar.vue): - PR links (#N) on agent cards get a traveling light shimmer animation (CSS background-position sweep, 2.4s loop) whenever the agent has a PR. - Visual signal: "code is out there, awaiting review." Priority-based confetti variations (useConfetti.ts + KanbanView.vue): - Critical tasks: gold/orange particle palette, 2x count (130), wider blast radius, 2.4s duration. - High priority: 1.4x count (90), slightly faster spread. - Medium: standard burst (65 particles). - Low: lighter burst (40 particles). - KanbanView passes task.priority to celebrate() on drag-drop and SSE-triggered task_updated to done transitions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(gamification): update spec with all brainstorm results and implementation status Mark Tier 2.3-2.10 as implemented. Add Tier 3.9-3.18 from second brainstorm round (audio ticks, emoji reactions, streaks, ship-it broadcast, co-working indicators, standup digest, presence, leaderboard, chromashift). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(sse): agent_spawned payload from lifecycle.go missing space/agent fields The MCP spawn_agent path (lifecycle.go:spawnAgentService) was broadcasting the bare agent name string as the agent_spawned SSE payload. The frontend SSEAgentSpawned type expects {space, agent} JSON, so data.space and data.agent were undefined — causing '[undefined] agent spawned' in the event log and 'Failed to load space undefined: 404' errors. Fix: use json.Marshal({space, agent}) matching the handlers_agent.go path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gamification): agent signature chimes, activity tick, spawn guard Agent signature chimes (useNotifications.ts + App.vue): - Each agent gets a unique 2-note chord from a hash of their name. - Pentatonic scale ensures all chords are consonant. Plays once per page load per agent on first agent_updated SSE event. - Resets on space navigation so agents get their chime each visit. Activity tick (useNotifications.ts + App.vue + SettingsView.vue): - 4ms white-noise burst on each agent_updated SSE event. Very subtle. - Off by default; toggled in Settings via new "Ambient activity tick" switch. - Stored in localStorage (boss_activity_tick_enabled). TASK-035 guard (App.vue): - agent_spawned handler drops events with missing space/agent. - Prevents loadSpace("undefined") from partial payloads. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ux): usability audit fixes — H1, H2, H6, H7, TASK-038 - H1: make `now` a reactive ref in KanbanView, updated via setInterval every 60s so overdue detection stays accurate without page reload - H2: replace browser confirm() in TaskDetailPanel delete with AlertDialog component for consistent UX and keyboard accessibility - H6: add data-search-focus attribute to Kanban search input for Playwright and keyboard shortcut targeting - H7: surface send errors in ConversationsView inline compose — previously silently swallowed, now shows error text below form - TASK-038: fix agent selector dropdown overflow in ConversationsView new-message picker by replacing ScrollArea (which doesn't apply max-height correctly) with a plain div with max-h-48 overflow-y-auto Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ux): H3, H4, M1, M13 usability audit fixes - H3: Tasks/Conversations sidebar nav items now show active state via useRoute() — was hardcoded :data-active="false" - H4: Remove duplicate unread count badge on Conversations nav item; icon dot badge is sufficient, SidebarMenuBadge was redundant - M1: Guard sound theme preview behind soundEnabled — selecting a theme no longer plays audio when sounds are disabled - M13: pr-shimmer animation now conditional on agent.status === 'active'; previously applied to all agents with a PR regardless of state Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ux): usability batch 3 — C2, M2, M3, M4, M10, M11, M14 - C2: implement 'i' keyboard shortcut (navigate to space overview); was documented in help overlay but had no handler - M2: add 'Change' label to task assignee dropdown trigger when task is already assigned — lone ChevronDown was undiscoverable - M3: store due dates at noon UTC (T12:00:00Z) instead of midnight UTC (T00:00:00Z); midnight rolls back a day for all GMT+ users - M4: Assignee and Label filter dropdowns highlight in primary color when an active filter is set, matching the Overdue button pattern - M10: add 'no tasks match your filters' empty state + Clear filters button when all columns are empty due to active filters - M11: add .prevent to @keydown.ctrl.enter on comment textarea so the default newline insertion is suppressed on submit - M14: add 'Ctrl+Enter to send' hint below comment textarea Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ux): TASK-045 — close agent create dialog before opening personas panel The 'Create persona' link in AgentCreateDialog emitted open-personas while the Dialog was still open. Both Dialog and Sheet use z-50 fixed portals, causing the Sheet to render behind (or at same level as) the Dialog overlay. Fix: close agentCreateDialogOpen before emitting open-personas in SpaceOverview. The dialog animates out, then the Personas sheet slides in — clean stack, no z-index conflict. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gamification): TASK-048 agent voice system enhancements - Add pitch micro-variation (±5%) and timing jitter (±15ms) to agent signature chimes so each play feels organic rather than robotic - Extract _playAgentVoice() helper shared by auto-chime and preview - Add previewAgentVoice() export — plays on demand regardless of once-per-session guard, for explicit user-triggered previews - Add Volume2 button in AgentDetail header (only when sounds enabled) so users can hear an agent's unique voice from their profile Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gamification): audio-sme ideas — blocked alert, spawn sound, task arc, mention ping Based on audio-sme brainstorm (ideas #2, #3, #6, #9, #12): - #2 Dissonance Flag: playBlockedAlert() — minor second interval (A4+A#4) fires when agent transitions INTO blocked or error state. Tense but not alarming; tells operator something needs attention. - #3 The Arc: playTaskTransition(status) — rising sweep on →in_progress, suspended Csus2 chord on →review. Completes the emotional story that playSuccess() already starts at →done. Wired to both drag-drop and remote SSE task_updated events. - #6 Warp Arrival: playAgentSpawn() — 200→1200Hz sweep + resonant ring. Fires on agent_spawned SSE, skipped under prefers-reduced-motion. - #9 @Mention Ping: playMentionPing() — C6 percussive tone, distinct from message chime. Fires once per agent_message event that contains at least one valid @mention, alongside the existing CSS pulse ring. - #12 Motion-Sound Parity: prefersReducedMotion check halves volume on all new sounds, skips sweeps, replaces with shorter tones. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(gamification): audio control center — volume, per-category toggles, PR shipped, collaboration chord - soundVolume ref (0-100% slider) applied via tone()/sweep() multiplier - soundCategories ref with 5 categories: urgent, events, celebrations, ambient, social - SOUND_CATEGORY_META for rendering category toggles in SettingsView - isCategoryEnabled() helper replaces bare soundEnabled checks in all play* fns - SettingsView: volume slider + per-category toggle grid - playPRShipped(): descending 700→350Hz sweep + landing tone (events) - playCollaborationChord(): both agents' pentatonic voices as chord (social) - App.vue: wire playPRShipped via currentSpace watch, playCollaborationChord in agent_message Audio Control Center implements audio-sme idea #11 (impact 5) PR shipped implements audio-sme idea #10 Collaboration harmony implements audio-sme idea #8 * feat(gamification): agent moods, boss level fanfare, heartbeat mode — audio palette complete audio-sme idea #5 (Agent Moods): - playAgentMoodActive(name): ascending root→fifth — agent 'waking up' - playAgentMoodIdle(name): descending fifth→root — agent 'settling down' - Wired in agent_updated SSE via prevStatus captured before in-place patch - Fixes prevStatus capture bug (was reading post-patch, now pre-patch) audio-sme idea #4 (Boss Level): - playSuccess(priority?) now accepts priority — critical tasks get an ascending C5→G5→C6 lead-in run before the chord, theme-aware - KanbanView wires priority on both local drag-drop and remote SSE task_updated audio-sme idea #7 (Heartbeat Mode): - playAgentTick(name): 3ms pentatonic micro-tone at agent's signature freq instead of uniform white noise burst — active fleets sound like a chord - Replaces playActivityTick() in agent_updated handler (still gated by activityTickEnabled) All 12 audio-sme ideas now accounted for: Implemented: #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 Architecture only (#1 Alert Taxonomy already fulfilled by category system) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
