## 1. Architecture Review Summary

### Core Components (from ARCHITECTURE.md)

| Layer | Components | Status |
|-------|------------|--------|
| **Governance** | Vault, DragonflyDB, SQLite Ledger | ✅ Operational |
| **Orchestration** | Multi-Agent Orchestrator, Pipeline, Model Controller | ✅ Complete |
| **Agent** | Alpha/Beta/Gamma agents, Blackboard, MessageBus | ✅ Complete |
| **Infrastructure** | OpenRouter, Bun Runtime, WireGuard | ✅ Complete |

### Key Enums (from pipeline/core.py)

```python
# Agent Lifecycle Phases
AgentPhase: BOOTSTRAP → PREFLIGHT → PLAN → EXECUTE → VERIFY → PACKAGE → REPORT → EXIT

# Agent Status
AgentStatus: PENDING | STARTING | RUNNING | PAUSED | COMPLETED | FAILED | REVOKED | RECOVERING

# Pipeline Stage Types
StageType: AGENT | GATE | PARALLEL | CONDITION

# Violation Types (14 types with severity mapping)
ViolationType: EXECUTE_WITHOUT_PLAN | UNAUTHORIZED_API | TIER_VIOLATION | etc.

# Integration Event Types (9 types)
IntegrationEventType: plan_created | execution_started | violation_detected | etc.
```

### Context Management (from CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT.md)

| Component | Purpose | Token Impact |
|-----------|---------|--------------|
| Checkpoints | Session state snapshots | ~3000 tokens |
| STATUS Files | Per-directory tracking | ~50 tokens each |
| Memory Layer | Large output storage | Minimal (refs only) |

---

## 2. Status Sweep Results

### Directory Summary

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| **Total directories tracked** | 64 |
| **COMPLETE** | 20 |
| **UNKNOWN/Pending tasks** | 44 |
| **Completed tasks** | 97 |
| **Pending tasks** | 49 |

### Directories with Pending Tasks (49 total)

**High Priority (Core Systems):**
- `.` (root) - 1 pending (webhook config deferred)
- `integrations/` - 1 pending (production credentials)
- `runtime/` - 1 pending
- `pipeline/` - 1 pending
- `orchestrator/` - 1 pending
- `ui/` - 1 pending (this overhaul)

**Test Infrastructure:**
- `tests/unit/`, `tests/integration/`, `tests/chaos/` - 1 each
- `tests/typescript/`, `tests/python/` - 1 each

**Agent Configs:**
- `agents/tier0-agent/config`, `agents/tier1-agent/config` - 1 each

## 3. Changes Since UI Was Last Updated

### UI Last Update: 2026-01-23 (STATUS.md initialized)

### New Features Added After UI Creation

| Feature | Location | Description |
|---------|----------|-------------|
| **Full Agent Lifecycle** | `pipeline/core.py` | 8-phase lifecycle (BOOTSTRAP→EXIT) |
| **Auto-Execution System** | `ui/server.ts:724-905` | Confidence-based auto-exec with dry-run |
| **Approval Workflow** | `ui/server.ts:907-1067` | Queue-based plan approval |
| **Plan Execution** | `ui/server.ts:1079-1642` | Step-by-step execution with rollback |
| **Verification Phase** | `ui/server.ts` | Post-execution verification |
| **Package Phase** | `ui/server.ts` | Artifact bundling with checksums |
| **Report Phase** | `ui/server.ts:1644-1800` | Human-readable execution reports |
| **14 Violation Types** | `pipeline/core.py` | Full taxonomy with severity mapping |
| **Integration Events** | `pipeline/core.py` | 9 event types for external systems |
| **Memory Layer** | `memory/` | Token-efficient large output storage |
| **Checkpoint System** | `checkpoint/` | Session state preservation |
| **Testing Oversight** | `testing/oversight/` | Bug watcher, council, error injector |
| **Tier 1 Agent** | `agents/tier1-agent/` | Full execution capabilities |

### New Integrations (Not in Original UI)

| Integration | Status | Features |
|-------------|--------|----------|
| **Slack** | ✅ 17/17 tests | Notifications, alerts, approvals |
| **GitHub** | ✅ 10/10 tests | PR automation, status updates |
| **PagerDuty** | ✅ 8/8 tests | Incident management, escalation |

### Architecture Changes

1. **Type Synchronization** - `pipeline/core.py` is now authoritative source for all enums
2. **Violation Severity** - 4-level severity system (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/CRITICAL)
3. **Phase-Output Mapping** - Alpha/Beta/Gamma output types linked to phases
4. **Integration Event Lifecycle** - Events mapped to agent phases

```

### New Tabs/Views to Add

1. **Status Grid** - 64 directories in grid with phase icons
2. **Checkpoint Manager** - Load, compare, timeline view
3. **Memory Browser** - List, search, fetch with summary preview
4. **Violation Dashboard** - Charts by type/severity/time
5. **Integration Config** - Credential status, test connections

### API Endpoints to Add

```typescript
// Checkpoint endpoints
GET  /api/checkpoints              // List checkpoints
GET  /api/checkpoints/:id          // Load specific
GET  /api/checkpoints/diff         // Compare two
POST /api/checkpoints              // Create new

// Memory endpoints
GET  /api/memory                   // List entries
GET  /api/memory/:id               // Fetch entry
GET  /api/memory/:id/summary       // Summary only
GET  /api/memory/search            // Search content

// Status endpoints
GET  /api/status                   // All directories
GET  /api/status/:dir              // Specific directory
POST /api/status/:dir              // Update status

// Integration endpoints
GET  /api/integrations             // All integration status
POST /api/integrations/:name/test  // Test connection
```

## 5. Missing/Outdated Documentation

### Missing Documentation

| Document | Priority | Content Needed |
|----------|----------|----------------|
| `docs/UI_GUIDE.md` | HIGH | User guide for dashboard |
| `docs/API_REFERENCE.md` | HIGH | REST/WebSocket API docs |
| `ui/README.md` | HIGH | Setup and development guide |
| `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md` | MEDIUM | Common issues and fixes |
| `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` | MEDIUM | Production deployment guide |

### Outdated References

| File | Issue | Fix Needed |
|------|-------|------------|
| `docs/ENGINEERING_GUIDE.md` | Missing checkpoint/memory CLI | Add new commands |
| `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` | Version 0.2.0, should be 1.0 | Update version |
| `ui/STATUS.md` | Shows "No tasks defined" | Add UI tasks |
| `integrations/STATUS.md` | Still shows pending webhook | Update to deferred |

### STATUS.md Files Needing Phase Update

44 directories show `UNKNOWN` phase due to inconsistent format:
- Need to standardize `**COMPLETE**` vs `** COMPLETE**` (note space)
- Should run `status sweep --fix` after UI update

---

## 6. Implementation Priorities

### Phase 1: Core UI Updates (Critical)
1. Add Checkpoint tab with load/compare
