Active task: Executing the L1 AI Tree Builder Phase 2A plan (docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-29-l1-ai-tree-builder-phase-2a.md, 19 tasks) via subagent-driven-development on branch feat/l1-ai-tree-builder-phase-2a (branched from main @ 87236b5; not pushed, main untouched).

⚠️ Tooling note (read first — why this session stopped at Task 16)

The harness's Bash output channel became intermittently unreliable — returning stale/cached output (a Bash command that wrote /tmp/perm.txt instead returned a PRIOR command's /tmp/vc.txt content; a cat returned the wrong commit SHA). The Write/Edit channel stayed reliable; Read mostly reliable but occasionally served a stale temp file. Work stopped at Task 16 because wiring a new route/nav requires accurately reading router.tsx + AccountSettingsPage.tsx then editing them, and read-then-edit against stale reads is exactly what produced the broken Tasks 14–15 earlier this session. On resume: confirm the shell is reliable first — write a unique sentinel to a file and read it back; cross-check any Read against a fresh grep; never commit without a sentinel-wrapped tsc -b/pytest verification whose unique sentinel you can see in the same output.

Earlier-this-session gotcha that cost ~an hour: pytest -p no:cov conflicts with the --cov baked into pytest.ini addopts → pytest exits before running → && echo PASS chains mislabel. Always use --override-ini="addopts=", never -p no:cov.

Backend test invocation that works: docker exec resolutionflow_backend pytest <path> --override-ini="addopts=" -q Do NOT use -p no:cov — pytest.ini bakes --cov into addopts; disabling the cov plugin makes --cov unrecognized so pytest exits before running, silently turning && echo PASS || echo FAIL chains into false FAILs (this cost ~an hour of confusion). Frontend gate via file-redirect: docker exec -w /app resolutionflow_frontend sh -c 'npx tsc -b > /app/_o.txt 2>&1; echo EXIT=$? >> /app/_o.txt' then Read frontend/_o.txt (frontend is bind-mounted at /app).

Status: Tasks 1–15 DONE & committed. Tasks 16–19 remain (all frontend + final).

Backend (Tasks 1–12) — 17 commits 16b9abf…04b5511 + handoff fdac72e. Last full run: 114 passed across all 11 Phase 2A backend test files. 3 alembic migrations applied; head 1fd88a68b145. Shipped: ai_build session kind; accounts.enabled_l1_categories; FlowProposal.l1_session_id (+ nullable source_session_id + exactly-one CHECK + schema made optional); l1_category_service; ai_tree_builder (constrained gen, validate, depth cap, normalize_walked_path, skips meta entries); match_or_build (bands; flow_id→str); session-service start_ai_build_session/advance_ai_build (stores node_text)/flywheel capture in resolve/engineer notify in escalate; l1.session.escalated notification (+ link /escalations + _resolve_recipients honors explicit empty list); API /l1/intake (dispatch; build seeds hidden {"node_type":"meta","category":...} walked_path entry), POST /l1/sessions/{id}/next-node, GET /l1/escalations, GET|PATCH /accounts/me/l1-categories, require_account_owner_or_admin dep.

Frontend (Tasks 13–15) — committed; whole-project tsc -b + eslint clean as of fix 2cc7c83:

• 03e8748 Task 13 — types/l1.ts (+ai_build, IntakeOutcome/Result, NearMiss, TreeNode, NextNodeRequest/Result, L1Categories) + api/l1.ts (intake→IntakeResult; nextNode, escalations, getCategories, setCategories). nextNode body carries node_text.
• df7150f Task 14 + f483196 Task 15 were FIRST committed BROKEN (I misread eslint EXIT=0 as a clean tsc; both had TS2305 missing-export + props-contract errors). 2cc7c83 repairs both — verified npx tsc -b EXIT=0 (whole project) + eslint EXIT=0:
  • L1Dashboard.tsx: minimal outcome-dispatch edit on the REAL page (matched/build→walker; suggest→use-flow/build-new; out_of_scope→escalate-without-walk).
  • L1WalkTreeVariant.tsx: kept real props {session,onSessionUpdate,onDone} + ResolveModal/EscalateModal + header + transcript sidebar; added ai_build branch that walks nodes via /next-node (passes node_text), disclaimer banner (bg-warning/10 — NOTE: *-dim tokens are NOT --color-*-dim; use /10 opacity), terminal→modals. flow/proposal keep the Phase-1 synthetic path.
  • L1WalkPage.tsx unchanged (already routes ai_build → tree variant). NOT browser-verified (chromium can't launch here).
• Verified clean state: HEAD 2cc7c83, working tree clean.

Resume point — Tasks 16–19

16. pages/account/L1CategoriesPage.tsx (does NOT exist yet) — checkbox list of available toggling enabled via l1Api.getCategories/setCategories; read-only hard-floor list. Register lazy route under the account children in router.tsx (the L1CategoriesPage import is NOT yet there — verify) and add a link card in AccountSettingsPage.tsx (AccountLayout has no sidebar nav — see CLAUDE.md "Account sub-page"). Gate visibility to owner/admin via usePermissions.
17. ProposalDetail.tsx — branch on l1_session_id to show an L1-source block instead of the /pilot/{source_session_id} link (add l1_session_id?: string|null to its proposal type). EscalationQueuePage.tsx — add an "L1 escalations" section via l1Api.escalations().
18. frontend/e2e/l1-workspace.spec.ts — network-stubbed AI-build flow; rely on CI to run it (chromium can't launch here).
19. Final: full backend suite + tsc -b/npm run lint/npm run build; migration downgrade/upgrade roundtrip (head 1fd88a68b145, down 3); push branch + open PR to main listing deferred items (KB grounding/connectors, PSA reassign, escalation package, AI chat handoff, proposal-matching). Then run requesting-code-review + finishing-a-development-branch per the subagent-driven-development skill.

Working tree: clean except this HANDOFF.md edit (committing now). Temp _*.txt files under frontend/ were scratch — delete any that remain.

Carry-forward (Phase O — separate, user-side, gated on EIN)

Phase O self-serve cutover (Stripe live-mode, apex DNS, Railway prod env, flag flip) remains the prior active task; all code blockers closed, blocked on user's EIN. Not touched this session.
