All 3 phases complete and verified. 62 lines of dead code removed from gui_2.py. Meta-Level Sanity Check: 0 new ruff violations introduced. Next track: mma_agent_focus_ux_20260302 (dependency on Phase 1 now satisfied)

### Documentation Framework Implementation
|
|
- **What**: Implemented Claude Conductor modular documentation system
|
|
- **Why**: Improve AI navigation and code maintainability
|
|
- **How**: Used `npx claude-conductor` to initialize framework
|
|
- **Issues**: None - clean implementation
|
|
- **Result**: Documentation framework successfully initialized
|

### Track: context_token_viz_20260301 — Completed |TASK:context_token_viz_20260301|
|
|
- **What**: Token budget visualization panel (all 3 phases)
|
|
- **Why**: Zero visibility into context window usage; `get_history_bleed_stats` existed but had no UI
|
|
- **How**: Extended `get_history_bleed_stats` with `_add_bleed_derived` helper (adds 8 derived fields); added `_render_token_budget_panel` with color-coded progress bar, breakdown table, trim warning, Gemini/Anthropic cache status; 3 auto-refresh triggers (`_token_stats_dirty` flag); `/api/gui/token_stats` endpoint; `--timeout` flag on `claude_mma_exec.py`
|
|
- **Issues**: `set_file_slice` dropped `def _render_message_panel` line — caught by outline check, fixed with 1-line insert. Tier 3 delegation via `run_powershell` hard-capped at 60s — implemented changes directly per user approval; added `--timeout` flag for future use.
|
|
- **Result**: 17 passing tests, all phases verified by user. Token panel visible in AI Settings under "Token Budget". Commits: 5bfb20f → d577457.
|
|
|
|
### Next: mma_agent_focus_ux (planned, not yet tracked)
|
|
- **What**: Per-agent filtering for MMA observability panels (comms, tool calls, discussion, token budget)
|
|
- **Why**: All panels are global/session-scoped; in MMA mode with 4 tiers, data from all agents mixes. No way to isolate what a specific tier is doing.
|
|
- **Gap**: `_comms_log` and `_tool_log` have no tier/agent tag. `mma_streams` stream_id is the only per-agent key that exists.
|
|
- **See**: TASKS.md for full audit and implementation intent.

### Tracks Initialized: feature_bleed_cleanup + mma_agent_focus_ux |TASK:feature_bleed_cleanup_20260302| |TASK:mma_agent_focus_ux_20260302|
|
|
- **What**: Audited codebase for feature bleed; initialized 2 new conductor tracks
|
|
- **Why**: Entropy from Tier 2 track implementations — redundant code, dead methods, layout regressions, no tier context in observability
|
|
- **Bleed findings** (gui_2.py): Dead duplicate `_render_comms_history_panel` (3041-3073, stale `type` key, wrong method ref); dead `begin_main_menu_bar()` block (1680-1705, Quit has never worked); 4 duplicate `__init__` assignments; double "Token Budget" label with no collapsing header
|
|
- **Agent focus findings** (ai_client.py + conductors): No `current_tier` var; Tier 3 swaps callback but never stamps tier; Tier 2 doesn't swap at all; `_tool_log` is untagged tuple list
|
|
- **Result**: 2 tracks committed (4f11d1e, c1a86e2). Bleed cleanup is active; agent focus depends on it.
|
|
|
|
- **More Tracks**: Initialized 'tech_debt_and_test_cleanup_20260302' and 'conductor_workflow_improvements_20260302' to harden TDD discipline, resolve test tech debt (false-positives, dupes), and mandate AST-based codebase auditing.
|
|
- **Final Track**: Initialized 'architecture_boundary_hardening_20260302' to fix the GUI HITL bypass allowing direct AST mutations, patch token bloat in `mma_exec.py`, and implement cascading blockers in `dag_engine.py`.
|
|
- **Testing Consolidation**: Initialized 'testing_consolidation_20260302' track to standardize simulation testing workflows around the pytest `live_gui` fixture and eliminate redundant `subprocess.Popen` wrappers.
|
|
- **Dependency Order**: Added an explicit 'Track Dependency Order' execution guide to `TASKS.md` to ensure safe progression through the accumulated tech debt.
|
|
- **Documentation**: Added guide_meta_boundary.md to explicitly clarify the difference between the Application's strict-HITL environment and the autonomous Meta-Tooling environment, helping future Tiers avoid feature bleed.
|
|
- **Heuristics & Backlog**: Added Data-Oriented Design and Immediate Mode architectural heuristics (inspired by Muratori/Acton) to product-guidelines.md. Logged future decoupling and robust parsing tracks to a 'Future Backlog' in TASKS.md.

|
|
|
|
### Track: feature_bleed_cleanup_20260302 — Completed |TASK:feature_bleed_cleanup_20260302|
|
|
- **What**: Removed all confirmed dead code and layout regressions from gui_2.py (3 phases)
|
|
- **Why**: Tier 3 workers had left behind dead duplicate methods, dead menu block, duplicate state vars, and a broken Token Budget layout that embedded the panel inside Provider & Model with double labels
|
|
- **How**:
|
|
- Phase 1: Deleted dead `_render_comms_history_panel` duplicate (stale `type` key, nonexistent `_cb_load_prior_log`, `scroll_area` ID collision). Deleted 4 duplicate `__init__` assignments (ui_new_track_name etc.)
|
|
- Phase 2: Deleted dead `begin_main_menu_bar()` block (24 lines, always-False in HelloImGui). Added working `Quit` to `_show_menus` via `runner_params.app_shall_exit = True`
|
|
- Phase 3: Removed 4 redundant Token Budget labels/call from `_render_provider_panel`. Added `collapsing_header("Token Budget")` to AI Settings with proper `_render_token_budget_panel()` call
|
|
- **Issues**: Full test suite hangs (pre-existing — `test_suite_performance_and_flakiness` backlog). Ran targeted GUI/MMA subset (32 passed) as regression proxy. Meta-Level Sanity Check: 52 ruff errors in gui_2.py before and after — zero new violations introduced
|
|
- **Result**: All 3 phases verified by user. Checkpoints: be7174c (Phase 1), 15fd786 (Phase 2), 0d081a2 (Phase 3)
