feat(ide): coder::scaffold-worker creates and starts a worker from a template, gated by the harness (MOT-4982) - #1309
Merged
Conversation
Backend Engineer scaffolds with coder::scaffold-worker instead of hand-writing the package; Tech Lead and ADE Worker Builder can list templates. coder::list-templates is auto-allowed; coder::scaffold-worker stays approval-gated. template/agents is a frozen baseline (sync.sh downloads into ignored folders since #1188 and iii-hq/templates#95 removed these profiles upstream), so the sync.json hashes are refreshed in place. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…ectory
addToStack started with `sent = false`, so a Retry that failed before its
first compose call returned owned:false and every later Retry stopped at
"already exists in the stack". It now starts from `owned`.
defaultDirectory('/', name) returned the root-relative `name` because
stripDirSlash('/') is ''; it now returns `/name`.

They stay public at code::templates::manifest; nothing imports them through code::templates, and the bin target warned unused_imports. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…yncs The clone dir is keyed by sha8(url) only, so a ref switched away and back found its old stamp still fresh and served the other ref's tree. Each successful clone or fetch now keeps a stamp only for the ref the clone holds. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
Create a worker from a coder::list-templates template into a missing or empty folder named after the worker, with the name token replaced in paths and text. Writes go through coder::create-file's journalled path (executable bit kept) and roll back all or nothing. The result carries the compose object for compose::add. The turn log counts the call as creating the files its result lists. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
… once per window (MOT-4982) A failed fetch left the (clone, ref) stamp unset, so once refresh_secs had passed every coder::list-templates and coder::scaffold-worker call ran the fetch again while holding the global lock, each blocking up to the 120 s git timeout against a hanging remote. A failed attempt is now stamped with its warning: the stale copy and the warning are served until the next window. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…gent profiles (MOT-4982) In the -ade templates App.tsx is also the standalone page on 127.0.0.1:3111, where the console's import map does not exist. The Frontend Engineer now builds App with React, lucide-react and scoped CSS only (import type allowed), puts PageShell and the other ADE-only primitives in ui/page.tsx or ui/src/** modules only page.tsx imports, and verifies the standalone page. The Tech Lead's frontend brief carries the same rule, and the Backend Engineer and Tech Lead descriptions now name Python too. Rehashes upstream/sync.json. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
… stale (MOT-4982) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…MOT-4982) In the -ade templates the ADE page is now ui/WorkerPage.tsx, built from @iii-dev/console-ui and calling through host.iii, with an Open outside console button that links to the web_url of the internal <worker>::info function. ui/App.tsx stays the plain standalone page over the HTTP API. The Frontend Engineer, Tech Lead and Backend Engineer profiles say so, and upstream/sync.json is rehashed. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…in the agent profiles (MOT-4982) Review follow-up. The Frontend Engineer and Tech Lead profiles again forbid ADE-only components in any module App imports, not only in App itself. The Backend Engineer and Tech Lead keep <worker>::info when they replace hello, because the ADE page's Open outside console button reads it. The Frontend Engineer checks the button by reading its href from browser::snapshot and navigating to it. The build names six externals, lucide-react included, and the Python template's dev loop (watchfiles plus pnpm build in ui/) is no longer described as pnpm dev. upstream/sync.json is rehashed. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…se::add workers (MOT-4982)
An agent read coder::scaffold-worker's result and called compose::add with
the legacy {worker: <dir>} string form, which drops the template's scripts
(pre_run/run), so the worker crashed on its manifest start. The description,
the compose field's schema doc, the README row and the skill now say to pass
the compose object whole in compose::add { workers: [compose] }.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…r (MOT-4982)
Agents called compose::add { worker: "<dir>" } even when told to pass the
compose object in workers, which drops the template's scripts (no UI build
on Node, "watchfiles: command not found" on Python). The output now carries
compose_add, the whole payload, and the description points at it first.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
The scaffold-worker description told agents to send compose_add "as is" and also to append start_after and requires to it, which read as contradictory. It now says compose_add is the compose::add payload, to be sent whole with start_after and any missing requires added inside its workers, and never with the entry's fields moved to the top level (top-level scripts are ignored). The compose_add doc comment and golden follow; the scaffold test now asserts the full compose_add shape. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
The Backend Engineer's compose::add step and the Tech Lead's delivery note still described the scaffold's compose object. They now say to send compose_add whole, with start_after and any missing requires added inside its workers, and never to move the entry's fields to the top level (top-level scripts are ignored). Rehashes upstream/sync.json. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
Send compose_add whole, adding start_after to its workers entry and one more workers entry for each requires that compose::status does not list. Align the function description, schema doc, README and skill; goldens regenerated (text only). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…r (MOT-4982) - Templates are a visible list per language (Node | Python switch), each with its description, instead of a dropdown; the -ade one comes first. - The template source is a footnote under the list, with Reload. - Name explains the rule up front; "Parent folder" previews <folder>/<name>. - "Add it to the stack and start it" (on by default) makes Create one step: "Create and start" scaffolds, then runs Add to stack. - The result is titled with the worker name; a failed start shows an alert dot; "Open public page" opens the browser worker's page when one runs, else a new tab on the console's host (it was 127.0.0.1). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…T-4982) The result was a status line and Done. It now shows: - the template and folder, then Created / Install / Start as steps: done, in progress with a clock, waiting, or failed (with the error and logs under the step that failed); Running is a live dot; - which file opened in the editor; - once running, the worker's own functions (engine::functions::list, `<name>::` ids) with Copy and "Try in a chat" (a chat draft); - Open admin page (-ade templates: the page id is the worker name) next to Open public page. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…stack (MOT-4982) With `start: true` (plus an optional `operation_id` and `start_after`) the scaffold also runs the compose::add an agent made in a second call: compose::status first (a name the stack has fails C235 before any write), then compose::add with the worker, its start_after and each requires the stack lacks (http as the -ade worker-compose.yaml declares it). The result adds `operation_id` and `started`, or `start_error` with the files kept. `compose_file`/`compose_namespace` are internal fields the harness stamps, so the add lands in the same stack as the session's own compose::* calls. Live harness::send runs (claude-sonnet-5-5, Node -ade, hello answered): scaffold + compose::add 20.4 s / 21.7 s, 7-8 rounds; start: true 13.0 s / 15.1 s, 5 rounds, about half the output and cache-read tokens. The Backend Engineer profile and the ide skill now use start. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…-4982) start: true makes the ide run compose::add under its own permissions, so: - a session whose policy does not allow compose::add gets scaffold_start_denied before dispatch (the flag never widens a policy); - the harness stamps compose_file/compose_namespace (III_COMPOSE_FILE / III_COMPOSE_NAMESPACE) on it, as on its own compose::* calls, and drops any a caller sent. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…-4982) An adversarial review of start: true confirmed seven findings: - Bindings and post-turn validators dispatch raw, outside the turn's gate: validate_call_target (shared by both) now refuses coder::scaffold-worker as a reaction unless the policy allows compose::add, since a fired payload can set start. - The ide no longer takes compose_file/compose_namespace: payload routing let any raw path point the add at another stack, and the namespace was only a compose guard, never a route. start adds to the stack the ide runs in; a harness that routes compose::* elsewhere refuses start on the turn path. - A name that is also a container the template requires (e.g. http) is C232 before any write: one stack cannot hold both. - `started` is no longer in the response schema's required list. - The Backend Engineer's start_error recovery keeps the operation_id. Open: an approval-gate rule written for compose::add does not see start: true (approval hooks match the called function id); gate coder::scaffold-worker with start as well where compose::add needs approval. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…t (MOT-4982) `start` now defaults to true; `start: false` writes the files only. Agents that call it with just a template and a name (the common guess when the schema is not in context) get the one-call path. - ide: with no readable stack (compose::status fails), the files are still written, with start_error, instead of failing the call. - harness: a session that cannot start (no compose::add, or compose::* routed to another project) gets the files only when it did not ask for start, with a note in the result; an explicit start: true is still refused there. - The New worker dialog passes start: false: its own Add to stack keeps the progress and Retry. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…MOT-4982) A starting coder::scaffold-worker runs compose::add inside the ide, where no approval hook sees it, so a rule holding compose::add was skipped. - Turn: before dispatch, the harness asks approval::evaluate about compose::add for the session. Anything but allow makes a defaulted start files-only (with a note) and refuses an explicit start: true; the agent's own compose::add then goes through the gate. Fails closed on an undetermined verdict, open only when no approval gate is registered (so a stack without one behaves as before). - Reactions: registering, and firing, a coder::scaffold-worker binding also needs compose::add allowed outright, as its fired payload can start. - The probe sends compose::add no arguments (the ide builds them after the scaffold): argument-constrained compose::add rules do not match, so they hold, the safe side. Post-turn validators still never probe approval, for any target. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
The "compose routed to another project" refusal fired on every compose-supervised stack: compose gives each container it runs, the harness and the ide alike, the same III_COMPOSE_FILE / III_COMPOSE_NAMESPACE, so the live harness made every scaffold files-only. Found on the live engine. Dropped: the ide adds to that same stack. The policy and approval checks stay. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…orker (MOT-4982) Live: refused an explicit start: true because its compose::add was held, the agent wrote the files with start: false and stopped, reading the refusal as "do not add". The refusal and the files-only note now both end with the next step: send compose_add to compose::add (it goes through approval), or, without compose::add, ask for it. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu
…(MOT-4982) The scaffold commits edited agents/backend-engineer.md and agents/tech-lead.md without updating their snapshot hashes, so test_generated_snapshot_matches_sync_manifest failed. Upstream (iii-hq/templates #95) no longer ships these profiles, so a later sync from templates main is a separate change. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018qbbAnBx28H7UWFKyFiBGu

139-143: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoffTake the required containers from the template's
worker-compose.yaml.
http_container()hard-codes thehttpentry, and the UI repeats it inHTTP_CONTAINERinide/ui/src/page/new-worker.ts. Any other required container is sent in the bare string form (need.clone().into()), even though the template'sworker-compose.yamlalready declares itscontainers.<need>entry. For example, the fixture declareshttp: { worker: package://http }. If a template changes how it declares a required container, the scaffold still sends the hard-coded value, so the stack can differ from what the template specifies.Read
containers.<need>from the same document thatcompose_entryreads. Use the bare name only when the document does not declare the container. Return those entries in the output (for example, next tocompose_add) so the UI stops duplicatingHTTP_CONTAINER.Also applies to: 192-203

…orker (MOT-4982) The two calls rendered as raw JSON in the chat. The ide now injects a renderer for both, in the New worker dialog's language: - list-templates: the source (local dir, or repo@ref and revision), a stale-source warning, and each template with its language, ADE page and required containers; a New worker action opens the dialog. - scaffold-worker: Created N files (the entry file opens in the IDE), then Install and Start. A worker the call started is followed through compose while the card is open, Installing… with its clock to Running (its functions, Open admin page, Open public page) or the failure with the error and log tail. Files only shows the harness's reason; a refused compose::add shows start_error. Before approval, the card lists the steps the call will take, compose::add included. The steps, the failure and the function list move out of the dialog into page/worker-result.tsx, and the follow loop out of addToStack into followStart, so the dialog and the card share them. A follow tolerates an operation compose no longer knows (an old chat card). After an install fails, Start reads Not started in both.
