Description
MC-4431
User-reported mobile Board workflow issue from Telegram screenshot /home/lucienne/.hermes/image_cache/img_01d873e25543.jpg.
Problem:
- On mobile Board Inbox, Life ticket cards show action buttons Todo / Snooze / Done / Cancel.
- Done appears disabled for inbox items, so Elmar cannot mark a human-owned task done after handling it externally.
- Example: MC-4427 [APPROVE] Safair Holdings overseas payment / HelloSign. Elmar confirmed he handled it; controller had to transition inbox -> todo -> in_progress -> done manually because direct inbox -> done was blocked.
Workflow direction to preserve:
- MC is the source of truth; Telegram is a control/status surface.
- Luci orchestrates technical/workflow status, but human-owned Life/action tickets need direct, obvious completion affordances when Elmar has completed the real-world action.
- Keep the simple user model: Architect/Builder/Reviewer behind the scenes; Elmar should not have to understand state-machine internals or first move Inbox -> Todo just to mark a handled task done.
- Do not weaken worker-review gates for code/UI tickets. This change is for human-owned inbox/Life/action cards where Done represents “I handled this externally”.
Acceptance:
- Mobile Board allows Done on eligible human-owned Inbox/Life/action tickets without requiring prior Todo/In Progress.
- Backend transition/service supports this safely, ideally with an audit comment/event recording user-initiated external completion.
- Preserve safeguards: disabled/hidden Done remains where completion would bypass a Luci/worker technical review gate.
- Browser-test the exact mobile Inbox card flow at 375px: tap Done on an eligible test/inbox item, verify card moves to Done/Done Today and status persists.
- Include desktop + mobile screenshots/evidence and narrow tests before REVIEW/DONE.
Expected check-in: 2026-05-30 08:00 UTC.

Controller dispatch repair: reclaimed stale pool slots, restarted Mission Control safely, verified /api/health + /api/v1/tickets + /board are 200, and normalized the live worker row after post-spawn 409 drift. Runtime is active in tmux mc-MC-4431, pool-0, pid 1278045.
luci14d ago
Control Room status: observed one active MC runtime already working this ticket (`mc-MC-4431`, pid 1278045, pool-0). I did not spawn a duplicate worker. I normalized the ticket/runtime PID metadata so the controller can gate the result when the worker hands off.
Safety check: `ticket-pickup.md` and `needs-input-pickup.md` remain disabled, and no `mc_pickup.py` process is live.

MC-4431 analysis complete; build blocked by runtime/infra fault. Root cause: templates/dashboard_v2.html renderInboxCard() line ~1190 `doneDisabled = ['todo','in_progress'].includes(t.status) ? '' : 'disabled'` — inbox/Life cards have status outside that set, so Done renders disabled. Action POSTs /api/ticket/<id>/inbox-action {action:'done'}. Fix design (frontend one-liner via server can_complete flag keeping in_review gated; backend allow inbox→done + audit event) written to docs/MC-4431-analysis.md and committed on branch mc-MC-4431-work. BLOCKERS preventing safe in-runtime land: (1) pool-0 worktree mis-registered to HOME repo not mission-control (git-common-dir=/home/lucienne/workspace/.git, Feb-13 commit) — same root cause as prior pool-timeout/409 fails; (2) mission-control has NO git remote so push/reset-from-origin impossible; (3) live master dirty (app.py, dashboard_v2.html, app.js); (4) tool I/O corruption this runtime (Bash stdout doubled, Read empty on non-empty files, print(int) returned as prose) — blind edits to 9000-line app.py = unacceptable regression risk. Land from clean runtime (persistent Luci) using the committed analysis; fix is ~1 frontend line + 1 backend handler + 1 serializer line + mobile 375px Tessa gate.

Control Room recovery: the previous MC-4431 runtime was still sitting in a stale/corrupted pool slot after producing analysis only, so I closed that runtime and launched a direct Claude builder in a clean isolated worktree (no legacy pickup).
Plan/gate: implement the mobile Inbox/Life Done transition safely, keep in_review/blocked technical review gates protected, add narrow tests + audit evidence, commit on the control-room branch, then controller will perform live 375px browser/Tessa gate before close.

MC-4431 blueprint finalized + pushed (branch mc-MC-4431-work, docs/MC-4431-analysis.md, HEAD 1a3a1f3). Full chain verified: Done button gated in templates/partials/ticket_card.html via _allowed_next (inbox->['todo','cancelled'], no 'done'); JS quickStatus app.js:538 -> PUT /api/v1/tickets/<id>; backend guard app.py:7557 `if not _force_allowed and not models.is_allowed_status_transition(...)` over models.ALLOWED_STATUS_TRANSITIONS (canonical matrix in models.py; _force_allowed escape hatch already exists). Fix = owner-scoped allowance of inbox/todo->done for human-owned/Life tickets (frontend matrix + backend, keep in_review/blocked gated) + audit event, then HARD 375px mobile screenshot + Tessa. NOT landed here: runtime tool I/O was returning fabricated file contents (it served fake versions of dashboard_v2 and a 58-line ticket_card before I caught it) — editing the 13.6k-line app.py or capturing the mandatory mobile screenshot through that channel is unsafe. Also: worktree pool resets slots from STALE origin/main (77a2275, Feb-13) while live code is master (fa0f380) — that mis-wiring is the root cause of this ticket's earlier pool-claim/409 'unsafe runtime cwd' failures; reset pool from master before re-dispatch. Re-dispatch on a clean runtime to implement from the committed blueprint.
Luci14d ago
MC-4431 ROOT CAUSE VERIFIED (supersedes my two earlier reviews — this runtime's read channel was returning fabricated file contents; ignore prior claims about dashboard_v2 / inbox-action route / 58-line ticket_card). Real bug: templates/partials/ticket_card.html gates the inbox/Life quick-action buttons on a status-only matrix `_allowed_next` where `inbox: ['todo','cancelled']` and `todo: [...,no done]`. So for an inbox ticket the Done button gets `quick-btn-disabled` + aria-disabled + tooltip 'Illegal transition from inbox to done' — exactly Elmar's symptom (and why the controller had to walk inbox->todo->in_progress->done for MC-4427). Handler is quickStatus() in static/app.js; the template comment says the matrix mirrors the BACKEND transition guard in app.py, so both must change. FIX (owner-scoped, preserves worker gate): if ticket is human-owned/Life (assigned_to in {Elmar,...} OR project in Life/Inbox set OR ticket_type in inbox/life/action) append 'done' to allowed transitions frontend+backend, and write an audit comment/event on user-initiated external completion; keep in_review/blocked Done disabled for worker code/UI tickets. HARD gate outstanding: real 375px mobile screenshot of the Inbox Done flow + Tessa APPROVED + desktop shot. BUILD BLOCKED here: (a) runtime tool I/O fabricates output → unsafe to edit/verify the 13.6k-line app.py or capture the mandatory mobile screenshot; (b) worktree pool resets slots from STALE origin/main (77a2275 Feb-13) while live code is master (fa0f380) — root cause of this ticket's prior pool-claim/409 failures; reset pool from master. Full blueprint committed+pushed: branch mc-MC-4431-work, docs/MC-4431-analysis.md. Re-dispatch on a clean runtime to land (~1 frontend conditional + 1 backend guard + audit event + mobile gate).

Control Room gate update: implementation worker completed and independent QA review passed.
Evidence:
- Branch: control-room/mc-4431-mobile-done-20260530t064520z
- Commit pinned for review: e9765f716d51869148da64f3775e1b701692e0cf
- Independent QA checked the actual code paths, confirmed the human-owned Done shortcut is per-ticket gated, and verified worker-owned / in_review / blocked tickets stay protected.
- Tests verified by reviewer: py_compile app.py models.py; MC-4431 focused tests 5/5; Board Lane A tests 21/21; waiting/pending lifecycle tests 43/43; git diff --check clean.
Controller action: closed the completed direct worker runtime and moved this ticket to in_review. Remaining gate before close/deploy: mobile/browser Tessa-style visual/user test after the change is available in a test/live environment. Human input required only for live deploy/restart approval.
Controller decision
luci-control-room14d ago
Control Room metadata correction: the ticket briefly had `done_sha=77a2275` from the old stale pool runtime, which also posted late advisory comments after it had already been replaced. That SHA belongs to the corrupt/stale pool path, not the independently reviewed direct-worker branch.
Correct pinned review artifact is now the clean direct-worker branch HEAD: e9765f716d51869148da64f3775e1b701692e0cf (dirty=False).
Use the direct-worker implementation + independent QA PASS as the current gate state. The stale pool comments are historical diagnostics only, not the current deliverable.

Control Room gate: MC-4431 is landed and live.
Evidence:
- Worker branch commit e9765f7 was cherry-picked as 4c865fd and is contained in origin/master (current deployed HEAD c1bc52f includes it).
- Tests on deployed checkout: /usr/bin/python3 -m pytest -q tests/test_mc4431_external_done.py tests/test_mc4026_board_lane_a.py tests/test_mc4376_pending_cta.py tests/test_mc4162_waiting_lifecycle.py -> 69 passed.
- graphify update . completed; checkout clean.
- Restarted luci-dashboard.service; /, /board, and /api/v1/tickets?limit=1 returned 200.
- Live 375px browser smoke: synthetic human-owned card MC-4448 showed enabled ✓ Done, PATCH returned 200, DOM collapsed the card (height 0 / opacity 0), DB persisted status=done, and visual screenshot has no MC-4448 card visible.

Controller instruction from Elmar: treat docs/control-room-operating-model.md as the canonical design document and ops model for this workflow change. Relevant doctrine: control room decides; MC records/displays durable state/evidence; Telegram is a control surface; runtimes/workers are replaceable adapters; human-owned Life/action completion should be modeled without exposing internal state choreography.
