MC-4119 Visual Redesign Campaign — session handoff

Saved: 2026-05-24 ~20:45 SAST

Current state

Campaign / umbrella: - MC-4119 — Mission Control visual design excellence campaign - Status: waiting - Owner/controller: lucienne - This is intentionally not the worker ticket. Do not force it in_progress unless it has a real runtime.

Active slice: - MC-4123 — Redesign MC home/dashboard chat layout for desktop and mobile - Status: in_review - Assigned to: luci - Campaign owner: lucienne - Latest visible worker/runtime state at save time: runtime reaped/stale after review activity; this is not automatically a blocker because BUILD+REVIEW evidence exists.

Parked downstream slices: - MC-4124 — Redesign MC board + ticket detail visual UX: waiting - MC-4125 — Redesign Tasks/Scheduler mobile cards and Health action: waiting - MC-4126 — Final integrated MC visual QA + first-time-user walkthrough: waiting

Latest verified repo state on Luci

Repo: /home/lucienne/workspace/mission-control

Observed current branch at save time: - feat/mc-4139-life-console

Relevant MC-4123 branch: - feat/mc-4123-home-v2 - Latest relevant commits: - b67cfc5 — feat(MC-4123): Home v2 four-zone cockpit (BUILD slice 1) - 27fa8d0 — feat(MC-4133): Life Manager feedback API + ticket-page buttons - b39fc11 — fix: resolve stash conflict in ticket.html LM feedback tooltip wording - origin/feat/mc-4123-home-v2 points at b39fc11.

Important branch hygiene: - Scheduled supervisor found MC-4139 Life Console work had cross-contaminated the MC-4123 working tree. - Supervisor stashed that WIP with message: MC-4139 Life Console WIP — stashed from feat/mc-4123-home-v2 branch. - MC-4123 branch was reported clean at b39fc11 after this.

MC-4123 gate status

BUILD: - Complete. - Artifact commit: b67cfc5 on feat/mc-4123-home-v2, pushed. - Scope: feature-flagged Home v2 (?ui=v2 / mc-ui-v2 cookie), four-zone cockpit, controller pinned, new chat selector metadata, home-zones/runtime-catalogue/handoff endpoints, migration 017/schema v18.

REVIEW: - Complete enough to move ticket to in_review. - Supervisor comments reported: - 8/8 MC-4123 tests passing. - Live ?ui=v2 renders 200, about 44KB. - /api/v1/dashboard/home-zones returns all four zones populated. - Template contains UX contract elements. - BUILD commit is clean after stashing MC-4139 contamination.

TEST/QA: - Not complete yet. - Next required gate: browser/Tessa-style desktop + mobile QA with screenshots/evidence. - Do not declare accepted or release downstream slices until QA evidence exists and UA is complete.

UA/deploy: - Not approved. - No live restart/deploy authorized. - Stop for Elmar before acceptance or any live service restart/deploy.

Scheduler state

Scheduler task: - mc-4119-visual-redesign-supervisor - Definition: /home/lucienne/workspace/tasks/mc-4119-visual-redesign-supervisor.md - Prompt: /home/lucienne/workspace/prompts/mc-4119-visual-redesign-supervisor.md - Cadence: every 30 minutes.

Recent scheduler runs observed: - 291769: completed, corrected limbo after worker crash/requeue and advanced BUILD evidence. - 291813: completed, resolved ticket.html conflict, pushed b39fc11, moved MC-4123 to in_review. - 291978: completed, verified branch clean/tests/API/live render, posted status saying TEST/QA is next.

Important corrections made this session

  1. Visible activity rule
  2. Elmar expects MC work to be visibly active/openable on the board, not only backed by scheduler state.

  3. Umbrella MC-4119 can remain waiting; the visible execution slice is MC-4123.

  4. Canonical runtime rule

  5. Ticket runtime must use canonical tmux name mc-MC-4123 for MC-4123.

  6. Earlier ad-hoc mc-MC-4123-build caused UI/runtime poll to mark false needs_input / tmux_session_missing.

  7. Build-complete runtime rule

  8. Once BUILD is committed and verified, a missing/ended tmux worker is not automatically an Elmar blocker.

  9. Do not requeue BUILD just because the build worker ended. Move forward to review/QA if artifacts are verified.

  10. Supervisor prompt patched

  11. Added guardrail that BUILD commit b67cfc5 is the BUILD artifact.

  12. Supervisor should continue to REVIEW/QA, not requeue BUILD on stale tmux state.

  13. Skill patched

  14. Updated lucienne-manager reference mission-control-visible-runtime-activity.md with the build-complete runtime pitfall.

Next session should do

  1. Inspect current MC status before acting:
  2. MC-4119, MC-4123, MC-4124, MC-4125, MC-4126.
  3. Latest comments on MC-4123 and MC-4119.

  4. Scheduler task runs for mc-4119-visual-redesign-supervisor.

  5. If MC-4123 is still in_review and BUILD/REVIEW evidence remains valid:

  6. Run or supervise browser/Tessa QA for ?ui=v2 desktop and mobile.
  7. Save screenshots/evidence in MC comments.

  8. Keep no-deploy/no-restart boundary.

  9. If QA passes:

  10. Move MC-4123 to UA-ready/needs Elmar acceptance.
  11. Do not declare accepted.

  12. Do not release MC-4124 unless the process says MC-4123 QA+UA gate is satisfied or Elmar explicitly says to continue.

  13. If MC-4123 flips to needs_input again:

  14. Check whether the reason is real.
  15. If it is only stale runtime/tmux missing after build/review completion, clear it and continue the gate workflow.
  16. If it is a real product/deploy/UA question, leave it for Elmar.
