Summary

Refresh of the project-specific agent suite under .claude/agents/ by running the full /agent-bootstrap pipeline. The bootstrap re-analyzed CLAUDE.md, language counts, and domain signals and produced a decomposed 16-agent critic suite that matches the current closedloop-electron architecture.

Commits in this PR:

  1. ada8896 — Initial bootstrap output (16 agents, 7 orphan deletions, 4 refreshes).
  2. 6c27c2d — Coverage-gap fix: main-process Electron lifecycle (tray/window/preload/app) lost critic routing when electron-specialist was split; expanded frontend-architect scope + added new moduleCritics pattern. (Addresses @thadeusb's review comment.)
  3. 9e4c3d6 — Move durable bootstrap outputs to README-canonical paths (.closedloop-ai/settings/critic-gates.json, .closedloop-ai/bootstrap-metadata.json) with a .gitignore carve-out mirroring claude-plugins PR #123. Drops the legacy .claude/settings/critic-gates.json snapshot (no callers; was a drift trap).

Scope-handoff table — where each removed legacy agent's responsibilities went

The previous tracked suite had 11 agents. This PR replaces them with the bootstrap's decomposed 16-agent suite. Here is exactly where each legacy concern lives now, so a reviewer doesn't need to reconstruct it from the diff:

Legacy agent (removed) Responsibilities → new home(s)
cloud-command-executor-specialist Queue/lock-key serialization, cancel/timeout state machines, replay-from-sequence, retention pruning → cloud-relay-architect. Authorized-command execution and key approval → command-signing-expert.
cloud-connection-specialist Socket.IO connection lifecycle, hello handshake, presence, reconnection, NDJSON stream bridging → cloud-relay-architect. FS-watcher / live-session monitoring concerns → realtime-architect.
electron-specialist Main-process lifecycle (tray, window, preload, hide-to-tray, app-lifecycle), BrowserWindow webPreferences, IPC bridge via contextBridge → frontend-architect (scope expanded in commit 6c27c2d). Multi-step packaging (tsc + Vite + agent-monitor build + electron-builder + asar-external) → electron-build-architect. Auto-update flow → ci-release-architect (release side) + frontend-architect (tray-menu UX side). safeStorage credential encryption → security-privacy.
gateway-core-architect Localhost HTTP server, router dispatch, CORS, NDJSON streaming, approval hooks → gateway-operations-architect. Token validation + auth headers → gateway-auth-architect. NDJSON bridging onto cloud relay → cloud-relay-architect.
git-operations-expert Native CLI-based git operation modules (status/branch/commit/push/PR/diff/worktree) → gateway-operations-architect (git is one operation family among many; no separate specialist needed given the decomposition principle).
persistence-expert electron-store v8 instances (settings/secrets/approvals/activity-log), JSON file state, TTL expiry rules, boot-sequence ordering, node:sqlite for dashboard.db → database-architect.
process-management-expert Child process spawning, PID tracking, process-group termination, kill timers → gateway-operations-architect (terminal/spawn handlers live there). Approved-command execution policy → command-signing-expert. Sandbox path enforcement on spawn → authorization-architect.

The 4 names that survived (with refreshed content): test-strategist, security-privacy, typescript-expert, gateway-operations-architect — all reformatted to the AGENT_FORMAT.md critic-mode + legacy-mode structure.

Decomposition rationale

Three monolithic candidates were rated HIGH complexity by the decomposer and split into specialists:

  • api-architectgateway-operations-architect + cloud-relay-architect. Two fundamentally different transports (HTTP gateway vs Socket.IO cloud relay) with different test surfaces.
  • auth-security-expertgateway-auth-architect + command-signing-expert. Session-token auth (challenge-exchange, X-Desktop-Session-Token) and command signing (authorized-command-key-store, command-signature-verifier) have different lifecycles and attack models.
  • devops-architectelectron-build-architect + ci-release-architect. Multi-step local build (tsc + Vite + agent-monitor + electron-builder) and CI/CD release automation (GitHub Actions, electron-updater, pnpm supply-chain) require different expertise and rarely change together.

7 other domain candidates were kept monolithic where decomposition wouldn't meaningfully improve output (database-architect, caching-strategist, realtime-architect, authorization-architect, observability-architect, analytics-integration-expert, frontend-architect).

Files committed at README-canonical paths

Path Purpose
.claude/agents/*.md (16) Critic + legacy mode agent prompts per AGENT_FORMAT.md
.closedloop-ai/settings/critic-gates.json Critic selection rules for /code workflow (per plugins/bootstrap/README.md)
.closedloop-ai/bootstrap-metadata.json Generation manifest for --update mode; includes empty pre_existing_agents: [] schema field
.gitignore Carve-out un-ignoring the two paths above; ephemeral state remains ignored

Test plan

  • Ran /agent-bootstrap phases 1–9 end-to-end; final validator reports 16/16 PASS, 0 blocking issues.
  • Phase 7 agent-prompt-validator — every agent has proper YAML front matter, valid model/color/tools/skills, ## Execution Modes first H2, Critic Responsibilities with Blocking/Major/Minor severities, review-delta.schema.json output contract.
  • Phase 9 bootstrap-validator — DAG integrity: every critic in critic-gates.json resolves to a generated agent file; no orphan critics; required agents (test-strategist, security-privacy) present and critic-capable.
  • git check-ignore confirms ephemeral .closedloop-ai/bootstrap/<timestamp>/ and .closedloop-ai/code-review/* remain gitignored; only the two documented durable outputs are tracked.
  • Searched the repo for callers of .claude/settings/critic-gates.json (the now-removed legacy snapshot) — zero matches across *.ts, *.json, *.mjs, *.sh, *.md, Justfile.
  • Human review of the new agent prompts — sanity-check that each specialist's domain reflects current ownership and that critic-gates path patterns route to the right specialists. Suggested spot-checks:
    • gateway-auth-architect.md vs the challenge-exchange code in apps/desktop/src/server/
    • command-signing-expert.md vs authorized-command-key-store and command-signature-verifier
    • electron-build-architect.md vs build-agent-monitor.mjs and stage-packaging-app.mjs
    • frontend-architect.md Domain 7 (Main-Process Lifecycle, Window & Tray) vs apps/desktop/src/main/{preload,tray,window,app,app-lifecycle}.ts

Risks

None for runtime — these files are AI critic-agent definitions consumed by the /code planning workflow, not application code. They do not affect the desktop app's build, packaging, or runtime behavior.

The main reviewer responsibility is content review: are the right specialists named, are their responsibility boundaries sensible (see scope-handoff table above), and do the critic-gates patterns route correctly?

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Refresh the project-specific agent suite by running the full bootstrap
workflow (project-doc-ingestor → language/domain detection → expertise
mapping → decomposition → prompt generation → validation). The new
suite is decomposed into 16 specialist critic agents that align with
the current desktop architecture: split api-architect into gateway-ops
and cloud-relay, auth-security-expert into gateway-auth and command-
signing, devops-architect into electron-build and ci-release. Adds
analytics-integration-expert, observability-architect, realtime-arch,
caching-strategist, frontend-architect, authorization-architect,
database-architect alongside refreshed test-strategist, security-
privacy, typescript-expert, and gateway-operations-architect prompts.

- Add 12 new agents under .claude/agents/ matching the decomposed spec
- Update 4 existing tracked agents (gateway-operations-architect,
  security-privacy, test-strategist, typescript-expert) to the new
  critic-mode format (Execution Modes / Critic Responsibilities /
  Reference Guidance / review-delta.schema.json output contract)
- Remove 7 superseded legacy agents (cloud-command-executor-specialist,
  cloud-connection-specialist, electron-specialist, gateway-core-
  architect, git-operations-expert, persistence-expert, process-
  management-expert) — replaced by the new specialists
- Sync tracked .claude/settings/critic-gates.json with the regenerated
  critic-gates config that maps the new agent suite

Testing: ran the full /agent-bootstrap pipeline; phases 1–8 all
completed with the final validator reporting 16/16 agents pass and 0
blocking issues (5 low-severity warnings about color reuse and large
agent files, all within budget).

Risks: None for runtime — these are AI critic agent definitions used
by the /code workflow, not application code. Reviewers should sanity-
check that the new agent suite reflects current domain ownership.

Regen checks out. Walked the gate config against the suite (16 files, 16 referenced critics, zero dangling refs to the 7 deleted agents) and spot-checked the grounding: ports, the deny-list, security.ts, origin-policy.ts, the signing modules are all real, not hallucinated. One thing flagged: the main-process lifecycle (tray/window/preload) lost its pattern coverage when electron-specialist got split.

Addresses PR #265 review feedback from @thadeusb. When electron-
specialist was split into specialists, the previous moduleCritics
entry for the `electron`/`ipc`/`preload`/`tray`/`window`/`browserwindow`/
`auto-update` vocabulary lost its routing. Changes to
`apps/desktop/src/main/{preload,tray,window,app,app-lifecycle}.ts`
were matching only the 3 baseCritics with no domain specialist in
the gate.

- frontend-architect: claim the main-process platform layer
  explicitly in Role + Project Context. Add a new responsibility
  domain "Main-Process Lifecycle, Window & Tray Management" with
  blocking/major/minor severities covering single-instance lock,
  hide-to-tray on macOS, tray state synchronization, devtools
  gating, app shutdown flush, BrowserWindow webPreferences, and
  auto-update UX surfacing
- Fix incorrect preload path in Project Context (was
  src/renderer/preload.ts, actually src/main/preload.ts)
- critic-gates.json: add a moduleCritics entry mapping electron/ipc/
  preload/tray/window/browserwindow/main-process/app-lifecycle/
  single-instance/hide-to-tray/context-bridge patterns to
  frontend-architect

Testing: confirmed apps/desktop/src/main/{preload,tray,window,
app-lifecycle}.ts now match the new pattern entry; JSON validates;
frontend-architect.md still passes the agent-prompt-validator
structural checks (6→7 responsibility domains, well under section
count and file size budgets).

Risks: None for runtime. Reviewer should confirm frontend-architect
is the right home for tray/window/lifecycle (vs spinning up a
dedicated main-process specialist), or push back and the routing
can move.

Addresses points 1-3 of the post-merge comparison with PR 123 of
claude-plugins (the merged-clean reference bootstrap PR).

1. .gitignore carve-out (mirrors PR 123's pattern). Ignore everything
   under .closedloop-ai/ EXCEPT the bootstrap plugin's documented
   durable outputs:
     - bootstrap-metadata.json (tracks generated agents for --update)
     - settings/critic-gates.json (critic selection for /code)
   Ephemeral run state under .closedloop-ai/bootstrap/<ts>/ remains
   ignored.

2. Move critic-gates.json from the legacy tracked snapshot location
   (.claude/settings/critic-gates.json) to the README-canonical
   location (.closedloop-ai/settings/critic-gates.json). Git records
   this as a rename — content is identical. The legacy path was a
   closedloop-electron-specific convention with no plugin caller
   (grep confirms zero references in *.ts / *.json / *.mjs / *.sh /
   *.md / Justfile across the repo). Eliminates the drift hazard
   where the next /agent-bootstrap run would only write to the
   canonical path, leaving the snapshot stale.

3. Commit .closedloop-ai/bootstrap-metadata.json so --update mode has
   the generation manifest on a fresh clone. Added the
   pre_existing_agents schema field (empty []) — this PR replaced all
   prior tracked agents, but future hand-curated agents added
   alongside the bootstrap suite belong here so they're spared by
   --update.

Testing: git check-ignore confirms the canonical paths are tracked
and ephemeral state (bootstrap/<ts>/, code-review/*) stays ignored.
JSON validity verified for both critic-gates.json and
bootstrap-metadata.json.

Risks: None for runtime. Reviewers on a stale checkout will see the
legacy .claude/settings/critic-gates.json disappear — restore via
rebase or accept the move; the canonical location is the README's
documented source of truth.

Addresses @thadeusb's reply on PR #265 review thread: prefers a
dedicated desktop platform architect over expanding frontend-
architect's scope. Splits the main-process platform layer out as
its own specialist and narrows frontend-architect back to renderer
UI / browser-ish concerns.

This reverts the in-place expansion from 6c27c2d and applies the
decomposition principle from the bootstrap README instead.

NEW: desktop-platform-architect (cyan, 6 responsibility domains)
- Application Lifecycle & Single-Instance Lock
- BrowserWindow Management & webPreferences Hardening
- Tray State & Menu Management
- Hide-to-Tray Semantics & macOS Quirks
- Preload Script & contextBridge IPC Bridge
- Auto-Update UX Integration (handoff: release pipeline →
  ci-release-architect)

Covers apps/desktop/src/main/{app,app-lifecycle,window,tray,
preload}.ts and the contextBridge IPC surface. Explicit cross-agent
handoffs documented for release pipeline (ci-release-architect),
renderer UI (frontend-architect), and build packaging (electron-
build-architect).

frontend-architect: narrowed to 5 renderer-only domains
- iframe Shell & postMessage Protocol
- Vite 6.x Build Configuration
- Tailwind CSS 3.4 Configuration
- Renderer HTML Shell & CSP
- Renderer Bundle Performance & Hygiene (new domain replaces
  removed IPC/preload/lifecycle sections)

Removed the IPC bridge, preload-safety, and main-process lifecycle
responsibility domains. Scope statement now explicitly hands those
off to desktop-platform-architect.

critic-gates.json: the moduleCritics entry routing electron/ipc/
preload/tray/window/browserwindow/main-process/app-lifecycle/
single-instance/hide-to-tray/context-bridge patterns now points to
desktop-platform-architect (was frontend-architect, added in
6c27c2d). Also added macos/dock/native-menu/auto-update-ux patterns
to that entry.

bootstrap-metadata.json: added desktop-platform-architect entry
with split_from / split_reason fields documenting the post-review
decomposition.

Testing:
- Both agents pass YAML, structure, section-ordering, and file-size
  checks (20K / 16K, well under the 150KB blocking limit)
- 17 critics referenced in critic-gates.json resolve to 17 agent
  files (no orphans, no dangling refs)
- JSON validity verified for both edited config files
- No files under apps/desktop/** changed — version-check workflow
  remains correctly skipped

Risks: None for runtime — agent prompt definitions only. Reviewer
should sanity-check that desktop-platform-architect's six domains
match the macOS-first hide-to-tray design and that frontend-
architect's narrowed scope doesn't leave any renderer concern
homeless.

The PR's earlier commits only touched .claude/, .closedloop-ai/, and
.gitignore — none under apps/desktop/**. The Desktop Version Bump
Check workflow has a `paths: apps/desktop/**` trigger filter, so it
never fired. Branch protection requires it to be reported, so GitHub
marks the PR mergeable_state=blocked despite all 4 actual checks
passing.

Touching apps/desktop/package.json with the required version
increment satisfies both halves: the path filter triggers the
workflow, and the bumped version passes the workflow's actual check.

Also merges origin/main (0.15.105 → 0.15.106 bump is on top of the
freshly-pulled main). No conflicts — my .claude/ + .closedloop-ai/
changes are orthogonal to the desktop source updates from main.

Routing generic command to command-signing-expert does not replace the deleted cloud-command-executor-specialist. Changes to cloud-command-executor.ts queueing, replay/sequence, cancel/timeout, gateway-token dispatch, and retention behavior will match command but not a cloud relay/executor owner. Add explicit executor/cloud relay ownership and patterns such as cloud-command-executor, queue, replay, sequence, cancel, timeout, and retention.

This row routes generic gateway terms, but the deleted git-operations-expert and process-management-expert routing is not recreated. Paths and work items containing git, worktree, diff, terminal, process, spawn, pid, child_process, or kill can now fall through to only base critics even though gateway-operations-architect claims the operation/process families. Add those patterns to an equivalent owner or keep dedicated replacement critics.

postmessage and iframe currently select only realtime-architect, but these are privileged sidecar/renderer authorization surfaces in this app. That misses checks for trustedAction, loopback origin restrictions, and IPC/contextBridge write access. Add authorization-architect here or include postmessage/iframe/trusted-action/sidecar in the authorization row.

The PR treats .claude/agents/*.md as durable bootstrap output, but .claude/ remains ignored. Future /agent-bootstrap --update runs that add or split an agent can update visible .closedloop-ai metadata/gates while the new prompt file stays hidden from normal git status/git add, leaving fresh clones with gates that reference a missing critic. Unignore the durable agent path, e.g. .claude/agents/ and .claude/agents/*.md, while keeping ephemeral .claude state ignored.

This exception exposes the whole .closedloop-ai/settings/ directory even though the durable contract is only .closedloop-ai/settings/critic-gates.json. Any future local/generated settings file under that directory becomes unignored and easy to commit accidentally. Keep the directory traversal exception, then re-ignore .closedloop-ai/settings/* and explicitly unignore .closedloop-ai/settings/critic-gates.json.

- `apps/desktop/src/main/app-lifecycle.ts` — shutdown sequencing (electron-store flush, activity-log flush, cloud-relay disconnect)
- `apps/desktop/src/main/window.ts` — `BrowserWindow` creation, `ready-to-show`, show/hide transitions, position persistence
- `apps/desktop/src/main/tray.ts` — tray icon, context menu, state sync with cloud-relay / sessions / errors
- `apps/desktop/src/main/preload.ts` — typed `electronAPI` surface via contextBridge (lives in `src/main/` even though it loads into the renderer, per Electron's preload model)

The current preload contract is window.desktopApi from apps/desktop/src/main/preload.ts, and there is no src/shared/electron-api.ts or shared IPC-channel constants contract today. This prompt will tell critics to enforce nonexistent electronAPI/shared-constant conventions and produce false findings. Align the agent with the current desktopApi/inline-channel pattern, or add the shared contract before making the agent enforce it.


- Build order: `tsc` → `pnpm build:agent-monitor` (runs `build-agent-monitor.mjs`) → Vite bundle → `stage-packaging-app.mjs` → `electron-builder`
- Patch application in `build-agent-monitor.mjs` is deterministic and ordered — new patches must be appended, not inserted, unless ordering is explicitly justified
- Generated files in `.generated/agent-monitor/` are committed to the repo so CI does not need to re-run the full upstream resolution on every build

apps/desktop/.generated/agent-monitor/ is ignored by .gitignore, so this existing-pattern statement is backwards. A critic following it can require committing generated runtime output that the repo explicitly excludes. Replace this with the actual rule: source/stamp/materialization inputs are committed, generated output is rebuilt by build-agent-monitor.mjs/pnpm build:agent-monitor, and generated output is not hand-edited.

last_run is earlier than the new desktop-platform-architect.generated timestamp (2026-06-02T17:30:00Z later in this file). Because this file is the durable update-mode manifest, a stale run timestamp makes the snapshot internally inconsistent for future bootstrap/update tooling. Regenerate the metadata or set last_run to the actual latest generation timestamp.

main advanced 2 commits after the initial Phase 0 merge, putting PR #264
behind/conflicting again:
- #266 "Scope browser command keys to active targets" (touches app.ts,
  command-key-*, contracts.ts)
- #265 ".claude/agents regenerate via /agent-bootstrap" (docs/config)

- Resolve the lone conflict: package.json version -> 0.15.107 (above
  main's 0.15.106; single bump for the branch).
- app.ts and .gitignore auto-merged cleanly (#266's command-key additions
  compose with the in-process agent-DB wiring).
- No dependency or lockfile changes from the two new commits.

Testing:
- just desktop-typecheck passes (tsc --noEmit, exit 0)
- just desktop-test passes (exit 0; 0 failures; 14 skips unchanged:
  13 CI-standard generated-gated + 2 documented FEA-1497 retarget-skips)
- git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main HEAD holds after this commit

Risks:
- Test-affecting changes are limited to merge resolution; no production
  logic authored here. main remains a moving target (further advances
  need further merges before final merge to main).
