Active Tracks

• feature_bleed_cleanup_20260302 — Dead code & conflicting design state cleanup (Phase 1-3)

Completed This Session

• context_token_viz_20260301 — Token budget panel (color bar, breakdown table, trim warning, cache status, auto-refresh). All phases verified. Commit: d577457.

Planned: Next Track

mma_agent_focus_ux_20260302 (initialized — run after bleed cleanup)

Priority: High Depends on: feature_bleed_cleanup_20260302 Phase 1 (dead comms panel removed) Track dir: conductor/tracks/mma_agent_focus_ux_20260302/

Audit-confirmed gaps:

• ai_client._append_comms emits entries with no source_tier key
• ai_client has no current_tier module variable — no way for tiers to self-identify
• _tool_log is list[tuple[str,str,float]] — no tier field, tuple must migrate to dict
• run_worker_lifecycle replaces comms_log_callback but never stamps source_tier
• generate_tickets (Tier 2) does NOT replace callback at all
• No Focus Agent selector widget in Operations Hub

Scope: Phase 1 (tier tagging) → Phase 2 (tool log dict migration) → Phase 3 (Focus Agent UI + filter). Per-tier token stats deferred to sub-track.

tech_debt_and_test_cleanup_20260302 (initialized)

Priority: High Depends on: feature_bleed_cleanup_20260302 Track dir: conductor/tracks/tech_debt_and_test_cleanup_20260302/

Audit-confirmed gaps:

• 13 test files duplicate app_instance fixture instead of using conftest.py.
• Duplicate test files (test_ast_parser_curated.py).
• Multiple simulation tests silently pass with no assertions.
• gui_2.py initializes 9 state variables in __init__ that are never read.
• gui_2.py has over 15 uncalled HTTP/background methods.

Scope: Phase 1 (Fixture deduplication) → Phase 2 (False-positive test fixing) → Phase 3 (Dead code excision in gui_2.py).

conductor_workflow_improvements_20260302 (initialized)

Priority: High Depends on: None Track dir: conductor/tracks/conductor_workflow_improvements_20260302/

Audit-confirmed gaps:

• Tier 2 skill lacks enforcement of AST pre-implementation scans to prevent duplicate state variables.
• Tier 2 skill lacks explicit rejection of non-TDD execution.
• Tier 3 skill does not strictly forbid implementing code without failing tests.
• workflow.md lacks explicit warnings against zero-assertion tests and redundant __init__ state.

Scope: Phase 1 (Update MMA Skill prompts) → Phase 2 (Update workflow.md).

architecture_boundary_hardening_20260302 (initialized)

Priority: High Depends on: None Track dir: conductor/tracks/architecture_boundary_hardening_20260302/

Audit-confirmed gaps:

• ai_client.py loops execute set_file_slice and py_update_definition instantly without checking pre_tool_callback, bypassing GUI approval.
• mma_exec.py bypasses skeletonization for mcp_client, causing token bloat.
• dag_engine.py does not cascade blocked states, causing orchestrator infinite loops.

Scope: Phase 1 (Meta-tooling token fix) → Phase 2 (Seal GUI HITL bypass) → Phase 3 (Fix DAG Engine cascading blocks).
