973a43923f fix(comments): revert since-delta to issue-wide, steer to parent thread first (#3535)
#3509/#3523 scoped the comment-trigger since-delta count to the triggering
thread, so an agent resuming a busy issue only saw "+N in this thread" and
lost visibility of new comments in other threads. Revert the count to
issue-wide (every thread), keeping the trigger-comment + agent-own
exclusions, and reshape the warm-path hint to:

  - report the issue-wide new-comment volume,
  - steer the agent to read the triggering (parent) thread FIRST
    (`--thread <trigger> --since`, or `--tail 30` for full context),
  - demote the issue-wide `--since` catch-up to an only-if-needed fallback
    ("don't read them all blindly").

Also fixes the now-stale "scoped to the triggering thread" wording in the
resumed-session no-delta hint (it's issue-wide zero now).

on the unfiltered queries — so old clients are unaffected.

Wire an additive `unresolved` query param into ListComments. Defaults off

* feat(daemon): inject unresolved-comments hint + resolve step into agent brief

Add a shared BuildUnresolvedCommentsHint helper rendered on both the
per-turn prompt and the CLAUDE.md workflow (kept in sync per PR #2816). It
ships only the count and the relevant CLI call — never comment bodies — so
the server stays cheap. Thread case points at --thread <root>; issue case
points at --unresolved. Suppressed when the count is 0.

Also add a workflow step telling the agent to `multica comment resolve
<thread-root>` once a thread is fully handled, so the unresolved set
converges.

* feat(cli): add comment list --unresolved and comment resolve command

Add an --unresolved filter to `issue comment list` (wired to the server's
unresolved param, rejected when combined with --thread/--recent) and a
top-level `comment resolve <id>` command that POSTs to the existing
/api/comments/{id}/resolve endpoint, letting an agent close threads it has
fully handled.

* refactor(comments): since-delta new-comment hint + default-on comment resume

Simplifies the comment-triggered agent flow down to what's actually needed:

- New-comment awareness is now a pure time delta: the claim response carries
  new_comment_count + new_comments_since (anchored on the prior run's
  started_at, never completed_at so a long run can't miss comments). The
  per-turn prompt and CLAUDE.md workflow render one line — "N new comment(s)
  since your last run, --since <ts>" — via a shared BuildNewCommentsHint so the
  two surfaces can't drift. Cold start (no prior run) falls back to a plain read.
- Comment-triggered tasks resume the prior session by default (same runtime),
  dropping the MULTICA_RESUME_COMMENT_SESSION rollout gate. The "Focus on THIS
  comment" prompt guard defends against inheriting the prior turn's "Done."
  marker; GetLastTaskSession still excludes poisoned sessions.
- Drops the resolved-based machinery from the first draft: CountUnresolvedComments
  / ListUnresolvedCommentsForIssue queries, the `comment list --unresolved`
  flag, the `multica comment resolve` command, and the resolve workflow step.
- Removes the verbose cursor-pagination paragraph from the comment prompt; the
  --thread/--recent/--since flags stay in the CLI/API, just no longer explained
  inline every turn.

Compatibility: new claim fields are omitempty (old daemons ignore them).
Comment resume is default-on and affects even old daemons, which already
consume prior_session_id.

* feat(comments): collapse reply parent_id to thread root on write

Comment threads are a 2-level model (root + flat replies, like Linear/Slack),
enforced today only by the UI and the agent path — the CreateComment handler
stored whatever parent_id it was handed, and the agent-side flatten walked just
one level, so a reply-to-a-reply could land at depth 3+. Add GetThreadRoot (a
recursive walk to the parent_id=NULL root) and run both write paths
(handler.CreateComment, service.createAgentComment) through it, so every stored
reply's parent_id IS its thread root. Readers can now treat parent_id as the
thread root without re-walking. The agent-drift guard still compares the raw
parent_id to the trigger comment before normalization.

* feat(comments): cold-start reads triggering thread, warm keeps --thread pointer

The since-delta rework dropped the thread-first read on the COLD path: a
first-time agent fell back to the flat `comment list` dump (oldest-first, cap
2000), burying the trigger's context in ancient chatter. Point cold start at the
triggering conversation instead via a shared BuildColdCommentsHint
(`--thread <trigger> --tail 30` + a --recent pointer for cross-thread
background). On the WARM path, --since is a pure time delta and can miss the
triggering thread's pre-anchor history, so BuildNewCommentsHint now also emits a
--thread pointer. Both surfaces (per-turn prompt + CLAUDE.md workflow) render via
the shared helpers so they cannot drift (PR #2816 rule).

03f70209c4 fix(daemon): preserve user CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md in local_directory runs (#3438)
* fix(daemon): preserve user CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md in local_directory runs (MUL-2753)

InjectRuntimeConfig previously called os.WriteFile unconditionally, which
truncated whatever file lived at the same path. For the local_directory
project_resource flow the workdir is the user's own repo, so the agent
silently destroyed any repo-level CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md the
first time it ran in that directory, and the daemon's local-directory
cleanup explicitly skips the user's path so the file was never restored.

Write the brief inside a marker block instead:

  <!-- BEGIN MULTICA-RUNTIME (auto-managed; do not edit) -->
  ...brief...
  <!-- END MULTICA-RUNTIME -->

writeRuntimeConfigFile handles three states:

- file missing  -> create with just the marker block,
- file present, no marker block -> append the marker block at the end
  (preserves user-authored content above), and
- file present, marker block already there -> replace the block body in
  place so repeated runs don't grow the file unboundedly.

This is the short-term fix called out on MUL-2753. The sidecar question
(.agent_context/, .claude/skills/, .multica/project/resources.json) is
left for a follow-up — those files don't overwrite user content, just
litter the workdir.

* fix(daemon): cleanup runtime config marker block after local_directory tasks (MUL-2753)

Address Elon's review on PR #3438:

1. Add `CleanupRuntimeConfig` and wire it into the daemon's task path so
   `local_directory` runs excise the marker block on the way out. Without
   it, a user's subsequent manual `claude` / `codex` / `gemini` run in
   the same directory picks up the previous task's stale brief (issue
   id, trigger comment id, reply rules) and acts on the wrong context.
   Cloud workspace runs skip the cleanup — their scratch workdir is
   wiped by the GC loop anyway.

2. If excising the block would leave the file empty / whitespace-only,
   the file is removed so we don't leave behind a stub the user has to
   delete by hand. Surviving user content is preserved byte-for-byte.

3. Harden the marker parser: search for the end marker strictly after
   the begin marker. The previous `strings.Index` pair mishandled two
   malformed cases —
     - a stray end marker before any begin (e.g. user pasted a
       documentation snippet showing the wire format) would cause
       every run to stack another block, growing the file unboundedly;
     - a half-block left by a previous crashed run would cause every
       subsequent run to append a fresh block beneath the half-block.
   The `locateMarkerBlock` helper now anchors the end search past the
   begin offset, and treats "begin found, no end after" as "block runs
   to EOF" so the next write replaces it cleanly.

Centralised the provider→filename mapping in `runtimeConfigPath` so
Inject and Cleanup can't drift past each other when a new provider is
added.

Tests cover: parser hardening (stray-end-before-begin idempotency,
half-block recovery), Cleanup happy path / file removal / no-op cases /
malformed half-block / per-provider mapping, and an end-to-end
inject→cleanup round trip that locks in byte-identical restoration of
the user's pre-injection file.

* fix(daemon): byte-exact inject/cleanup round trip for runtime config (MUL-2753)

Address Elon's second-round review on PR #3438. The previous cleanup
relied on `TrimRight + "\n"` for trailing newlines and `TrimSpace == ""`
for file removal — both compensated for the inject path's "normalise
trailing newlines so there's always exactly `\n\n` before the block"
step, but they did so by mutating the user's bytes. The result was a
real diff on three boundary cases:

  - file ended without a newline (`rules`) → cleanup added one;
  - file ended with two or more newlines (`rules\n\n`) → cleanup
    collapsed to a single newline;
  - file pre-existed but was empty / whitespace-only → cleanup
    deleted it.

Reshape the contract so the bytes inject adds are the exact bytes
cleanup removes, with no user-byte mutation in between:

  - Define `runtimeManagedSeparator = "\n\n"` as a fixed managed
    separator that inject always inserts (unconditionally — including
    for files that already end in two or more newlines) between
    pre-existing user content and the marker block.
  - Inject's missing-file branch still writes the block alone (no
    separator); that absence is the marker Cleanup uses to identify
    "we created this file from scratch" and is the only condition
    under which Cleanup is allowed to `os.Remove` the file.
  - Cleanup detects `HasSuffix(pre, runtimeManagedSeparator)` and
    strips exactly those bytes; whatever remains is written back
    verbatim with no `TrimRight` / `TrimSpace`, so the pre-injection
    bytes survive exactly.

The replace-in-place branch is untouched — the managed separator
established by the first inject lives in pre and survives across
subsequent runs, so byte-exactness is preserved through arbitrary
inject→inject→cleanup chains.

Tests:

  - `TestInjectThenCleanupRoundTripByteExactBoundaries` parameterises
    9 seed shapes (missing file, empty, whitespace-only, no trailing
    newline, one trailing newline, two trailing newlines, many
    trailing newlines, CRLF line endings, no final newline with
    embedded blank lines) and asserts byte-identical round trip
    across two full cycles.
  - `TestInjectReplaceThenCleanupRestoresByteExact` covers the
    replace-in-place branch for the same boundary seeds.
  - `TestWriteRuntimeConfigFileAlwaysInsertsFixedManagedSeparator`
    pins the new invariant at the source: regardless of seed shape,
    inject emits `<seed><\n\n><marker block>` with no normalisation.

a55c03a0b3 fix(agent): inject Workspace Context into agent brief (MUL-2542) (#3078)
* fix(agent): inject Workspace Context into agent brief (MUL-2542)

The per-workspace `workspace.context` field (Settings → General) was
stored in the DB but never reached the agent prompt. Plumb it from the
workspace row through the claim response, the daemon's Task struct and
TaskContextForEnv, and render it as `## Workspace Context` in the meta
brief above `## Available Commands`. Heading is skipped when the field
is empty so workspaces that haven't set a context don't see a bare
header. Applies to every task kind — issue, comment, chat, autopilot,
quick-create — so the shared system prompt is consistent regardless of
trigger source.

c967ae0e0e feat(issues): platform-owned parent notify on child done (MUL-2538) (#3055)
* feat(issues): platform-owned parent notify on child done (MUL-2538)

When a child issue transitions from a non-done status into `done` and has
an open parent, the server now posts a top-level platform-generated
comment on the parent itself. Replaces the agent-prompt rule shipped in
PR #2918, which produced self-mention loops, planner ping-pong, and
accidental `MUL-` prefix hardcoding because the agent did not always know
the workspace prefix.

- Migration 107 widens `comment.author_type` to allow `system`; the
  zero UUID is used as the sentinel `author_id` (the column stays NOT
  NULL, callers branch on `author_type === 'system'`).
- `Handler.notifyParentOfChildDone` fires from both `UpdateIssue` and
  `BatchUpdateIssues`. Guards: prev status != done, new status == done,
  parent set, parent not in `done`/`cancelled`. Bypasses the
  CreateComment HTTP path so the assignee on_comment trigger and the
  mention-trigger paths do not fire — the comment content carries only
  the safe issue mention for the child, no `mention://agent/...` /
  `mention://member/...` / `mention://squad/...` links.
- `runtime_config.go` downgrades the Parent/Sub-issue Protocol rule 1
  to an explicit "do NOT post one yourself" guardrail; rule 2 (sub-issue
  creation `--status todo` vs `backlog`) is unchanged.
- New handler test exercises the happy path, idempotency, reopen+done,
  parent done/cancelled guards, and the no-parent case. Runtime-config
  tests reassert the new wording and the banned strings from the prior
  revision.

* fix(issues): isolate system comments + wire GH merge path (MUL-2538)

Addresses the two must-fix items from the PR #3055 second review:

1. The platform-generated `comment:created` event (author_type='system')
   was running through the generic comment listeners, which (a) tried to
   subscribe the zero-UUID author and (b) parsed @mentions from the body
   for inbox notifications. Both subscriber_listeners and
   notification_listeners now early-return on author_type='system' so the
   event becomes a pure WS broadcast for the timeline — no inbox rows,
   no transcluded-mention attack surface.

2. advanceIssueToDone (the GitHub merge auto-done path) only published
   issue:updated and skipped notifyParentOfChildDone, so a child closed
   via merged PR — the dominant completion path — left the parent
   silent. The helper is now invoked on the same prev/updated pair, with
   the existing guards (transition + parent state) protecting double-fire.

Tests:
- New cmd/server/notification_listeners_test:
  TestNotification_SystemCommentSkipsInboxAndMentions (parent subscribers
  and smuggled @mention targets stay quiet),
  TestSubscriberSystemCommentDoesNotSubscribe (zero-UUID never reaches
  AddIssueSubscriber).
- New internal/handler/github_test:
  TestWebhook_MergedPR_ChildWithParent_NotifiesParent fires a real
  pull_request closed-merged webhook against a child and asserts the
  parent receives exactly one safe system comment with the workspace's
  real identifier (no `mention://agent|member|squad` links).

* fix(runtime): drop parent-notification guidance from agent brief (MUL-2538)

Per Bohan's product call on PR #3055: the platform now owns the
child-done parent notification, so the runtime brief should not mention
the parent-comment path at all — not as an instruction, not as a "do
not do it" guardrail. The previous revision kept rule 1 of the Parent /
Sub-issue Protocol as a "Do NOT post your own parent-notification
comment." sentence; that still puts the concept in front of the agent
every run, which is exactly what we are trying to avoid.

What changes:
- Delete the "Parent / Sub-issue Protocol" preamble and rule 1 from
  buildMetaSkillContent. The remaining content — the `--status todo`
  vs `--status backlog` rule for creating sub-issues — now lives in a
  dedicated `## Sub-issue Creation` section, since the parent/child
  framing it previously sat under is gone.
- The system comment on the parent stays exactly as in 366f6e2: the
  agent simply does not need to know about it.

Tests:
- runtime_config_test.go is rewritten around the new section name and
  the wider "no parent-notification guidance" canary; the banned list
  now covers both the original PR #2918 wording and the intermediate
  "do NOT post one" wording.

System comment UI: the frontend already renders `author_type === "system"`
with author name "Multica" (`useActorName`) and the MulticaIcon avatar
(`ActorAvatar` via `isSystem`), matching Bohan's "looks like a normal
comment, author is multica + multica logo" requirement — no frontend
changes needed.

aeb284cbeb feat(runtime): teach agents the parent/sub-issue protocol (MUL-2338) (#2918)
* feat(runtime): teach agents the parent/sub-issue protocol (MUL-2338)

Adds a Parent / Sub-issue Protocol section to the runtime brief built by
`buildMetaSkillContent`, emitted whenever the agent is running on a real
Multica issue (assignment- or comment-triggered). Two behaviors are now
documented for every issue-bound agent:

- A. When wrapping up a child issue, post the final result and switch to
  `in_review` on this issue first, then post a single top-level comment
  on the parent. Mention the parent assignee only when it is another
  agent on a still-open parent — never self-mention, never @ member /
  squad, never re-trigger a `done` / `cancelled` parent.
- B. When creating sub-issues, choose `--status backlog` for sub-issues
  that must wait and `--status todo` for the one to start immediately;
  promote with `multica issue status <id> todo` when its turn comes.

The signal is explicitly framed as best-effort — no server-side state
sync, no claim of a guaranteed handshake. The section is skipped for
chat, quick-create, and run-only autopilot runs, which have no
parent/child semantics.

Tests in runtime_config_test.go assert that the section is present in
both issue workflows, absent in the three non-issue modes, and that the
wording does not introduce a non-existent `multica issue list --parent`
command or promise a reliable handshake.

* fix(runtime): split Step A of parent/sub-issue protocol by trigger type (MUL-2338)

Comment-triggered runs were inheriting an unconditional
`multica issue status <this-issue-id> in_review` from Step A, which
conflicts with the comment-triggered workflow rule "Do NOT change the
issue status unless the comment explicitly asks for it" (Elon's blocking
review on PR #2918). Step A now branches on trigger type:

- Assignment-triggered: keep "post final results + flip in_review".
- Comment-triggered: complete the reply per the existing workflow rule,
  only flip status when the triggering comment asked for it, and gate
  the parent-notification steps on actually closing out child work.

Tests lock the boundary: comment-triggered briefs must not contain the
unconditional in_review command, must echo the existing status
guardrail inside Step A, and must spell out the "closing out" gate.
Assignment-triggered briefs still carry the unconditional flip.

Per Bohan's directive on PR #2918: the per-case mention table (same agent /
member / squad / closed parent) is overkill prompt complexity. Replace it
with a single rule: always @mention the parent's assignee using the URL
that matches assignee_type. The platform's existing run dedup handles
re-triggers, and a single rule is easier for agents to follow predictably.

Preserves the existing comment-triggered boundary (Step A still does NOT
add an unconditional in_review flip on comment-triggered runs).

* refactor(runtime): compress parent/sub-issue protocol to 3-rule convention (MUL-2338)

Drop the spec-flavored A/B sub-headings and per-case mention table; keep
three numbered rules (close out child, notify parent, pick backlog vs
todo) plus a one-line best-effort preamble. The comment-triggered
branch still re-asserts the "do not change status unless asked"
guardrail and gates parent notification on actually closing out child
work; the assignment-triggered branch still flips to `in_review`.

Section is now 7 lines instead of 29. A new TestParentSubIssueProtocolIsCompact
guards the ≤10-line ceiling so this stays a convention, not a spec.

* fix(runtime): make sub-issue creation rule unconditional in parent/sub-issue protocol (MUL-2338)

Elon's review on PR #2918: the preamble previously gated all three
rules on the current issue having `parent_issue_id`, but rule 3
(creating sub-issues) needs to reach top-level parents that have no
parent themselves — that is exactly where the `todo` vs `backlog`
decision matters most. Move the gate from the preamble onto rules 1
and 2 per-rule; rule 3 now applies to any issue-bound run. Section
stays at 7 newlines (≤10).

* refactor(runtime): unify parent/sub-issue protocol as mechanism description (MUL-2338)

Drop the if/else split between assignment- and comment-triggered runs in
the Parent / Sub-issue Protocol section: both runs now read the same
two-rule description of how the parent/child mechanism works. The
comment-triggered workflow rule "Do NOT change the issue status unless
the comment explicitly asks for it" naturally short-circuits the parent
notification (no status flip → not closing out the child → skip), so the
protocol no longer needs to branch on TriggerCommentID.

Tests collapse the two trigger-specific cases into one parameterized
test, and the assignment vs comment status-flip invariants are now
anchored on the real workflow command (with substituted issue id)
instead of the protocol's removed `<this-issue-id>` placeholder.
