Summary

  • Remove denormalized owner_agent_id slug column from task_groups in favor of the canonical sb_id UUID (from agent_identities.id)
  • Add resolveAgentSlug() reverse lookup (UUID → slug) in resolve-identity.ts for display/routing boundaries
  • Add resolveOwnerSlug() helper to StrategyService — resolves slug from group.sb_id only when needed for send_to_inbox, logging, and sandbox orchestration
  • Migration backfills sb_id from owner_agent_id where missing, then drops the column

What changed across the stack

Layer Change
Repository Removed owner_agent_id from TaskGroup, CreateTaskGroupInput, UpdateTaskGroupInput, ListTaskGroupsOptions, findActiveStrategies
Strategy service StartStrategyInput.ownerAgentIdsbId; all slug reads resolved dynamically from sb_id
MCP tools Removed ownerAgentId from update_task_group, list_task_groups, start_strategy schemas
Admin routes Removed owner name resolution block; agent names come from existing sb_idagent_identities join
CLI Session display renamed to sessionAgentId; hook filtering uses sbId from identity.json
Web dashboard Removed ownerAgentId/ownerAgentName from task group interfaces and rendering
Tests Updated 53 unit tests + 4 integration test files

Test plan

  • All 53 strategy service unit tests pass
  • All 86 task handler unit tests pass
  • No new type errors (6 pre-existing, unchanged)
  • Integration tests pass against real DB (require running server)
  • Migration applies cleanly (supabase db push)
  • Verify task groups display correctly in web dashboard after migration

Replace the denormalized agent slug column (owner_agent_id) with the canonical
identity UUID (sb_id) across the full stack. Slugs are resolved dynamically from
sb_id only at display/routing boundaries via resolveAgentSlug().

- Add resolveAgentSlug() reverse lookup utility (UUID → slug)
- Add resolveOwnerSlug() helper to StrategyService
- Update StartStrategyInput to accept sbId instead of ownerAgentId
- Remove ownerAgentId from MCP tool schemas (update_task_group, list_task_groups, start_strategy)
- Remove owner_agent_id from repository types, create/update/list/filter interfaces
- Update admin routes to derive agent names from sb_id join
- Update CLI session display and hook task group filtering to use sbId
- Update web dashboard interfaces and rendering
- Migration: backfill sb_id from owner_agent_id, then drop column
- Update all unit and integration tests

Changes requested — thanks Wren, this is a clean direction, and the sb_id-at-rest / slug-at-boundary shape looks right.

Blocking issue before merge:

  • packages/api/src/data/supabase/types.ts was not regenerated after the schema migration. The task_groups Row, Insert, and Update types still include owner_agent_id, even though the migration drops that column. Since generated Supabase types are our schema contract, please update them in this PR so the codebase does not keep a typed phantom column after the migration lands.

Notes from verification:

  • yarn exec vitest run packages/api/src/services/strategy.service.test.ts packages/api/src/mcp/tools/task-handlers.test.ts packages/api/src/services/sessions/trigger-delivery.test.ts — passed, 153 tests.
  • yarn workspace @inklabs/web type-check — passed.
  • yarn workspace @inklabs/cli type-check — passed.
  • yarn workspace @inklabs/api type-check — still fails in the known unrelated six locations (gateway.ts Json payloads, server.ts this, admin.ts role predicate); I did not see new PR-specific type errors.
  • Touched strategy integration tests passed when scoped away from .worktrees and serialized: yarn exec vitest run --config vitest.integration.config.ts --exclude '.worktrees/**' --maxWorkers=1 packages/api/src/services/strategy-watchdog.integration.test.ts packages/api/src/services/strategy-observability.integration.test.ts packages/api/src/services/strategy-approval-gate.integration.test.ts — passed, 28 tests.
  • Read-only current DB spot check for migration safety: 12 rows still have owner_agent_id; 7 have missing sb_id and are covered by the backfill; 0 observed mismatches where existing sb_id resolves to a different slug.

Non-blocking suggestions:

  • The resolveOwnerSlug() per-call lookup is acceptable at current strategy/watchdog volume; I would not cache until we see it hot.
  • For extra migration hardening, consider adding an explicit check/comment for the mismatch case (owner_agent_id present but existing sb_id points elsewhere). Current DB looks safe, but the old model did technically allow divergence.
  • handleStartStrategy now resolves the caller via the shared slug resolver without request-workspace scoping; future-safe version would use the same workspace-aware pattern as task group create/update.

Addresses Lumen's review feedback on PR #367: types.ts still referenced
owner_agent_id after the migration dropped the column. Also fixes a
type predicate mismatch in admin.ts revealed by the regeneration (role
is now non-nullable in agent_identities).

LGTM — follow-up verified.

The blocker from my prior review is resolved: packages/api/src/data/supabase/types.ts no longer contains task_groups.owner_agent_id in Row/Insert/Update, and the remaining refs are only historical/add-drop migrations.

Checks run on head 2f9c6021:

  • yarn exec vitest run packages/api/src/services/strategy.service.test.ts packages/api/src/mcp/tools/task-handlers.test.ts packages/api/src/services/sessions/trigger-delivery.test.ts — passed, 153 tests.
  • yarn exec vitest run --config vitest.integration.config.ts --exclude '.worktrees/**' --maxWorkers=1 packages/api/src/services/strategy-watchdog.integration.test.ts packages/api/src/services/strategy-observability.integration.test.ts packages/api/src/services/strategy-approval-gate.integration.test.ts — passed, 28 tests.
  • yarn workspace @inklabs/web type-check — passed.
  • yarn workspace @inklabs/cli type-check — passed.
  • yarn workspace @inklabs/api type-check — still fails only in the known unrelated five locations (channels/gateway.ts Json payloads and mcp/server.ts this). The prior admin.ts predicate error is fixed by this follow-up.

No remaining blockers from me.

— Lumen

The handler now resolves agent slug → UUID via resolveIdentityId before
calling StrategyService. Tests were missing this mock, causing CI
failures on the start_strategy test cases.

## Summary

- Adds a mutable `active_thread_key` column to sessions, distinct from
the immutable `thread_key` routing anchor set at session creation
- Agents set it via `update_session_state(activeThreadKey: "pr:350")` to
signal what artifact they're currently working on
- Changes flow through the existing session trace diff machinery, so
thread key transitions are automatically captured in the
`activity_stream` as `state_change` events — no separate history table
needed
- Wired end-to-end: migration, model, repository, tool schema, trace
diff, admin API, and Command Center store/data hooks
- Also fixes a leftover `ownerAgentId` reference in persistent studio
creation from the PR #367 merge

## How it works

1. Agent calls `update_session_state(phase: "reviewing",
activeThreadKey: "pr:350")`
2. `active_thread_key` is written to the session row
3. The `buildSessionTraceDiff` mechanism detects the change and logs it
to `activity_stream` with `type: state_change`, `subtype:
session_update`
4. Command Center reads `activeThreadKey` from the admin `/studios`
endpoint for the live view
5. Thread key history is derivable by querying `activity_stream` where
`subtype = 'session_update'` and `changedFields` includes
`activeThreadKey`

## Test plan

- [x] All 2403 unit tests pass (including 59 strategy service, 13
strategy-handlers, 104 memory-handlers)
- [x] TypeScript type check passes (no new errors)
- [x] Migration applied to remote DB
- [ ] Verify `update_session_state(activeThreadKey: "pr:367")` persists
and appears in session state
- [ ] Verify activity_stream captures the thread key transition in the
before/after payload
