## v1 — LOCKED 2026-07-02 (operator): per-project operator feed — noise filter + "Needs you" + audible ping **Transport decision:** async inbox-style feed (query already-persisted rows + a lightweight broadcast-triggered refresh). Operator confirmed full per-event Reverb/websocket chat is NOT worth it for v1. Bidirectional messaging split to a linked **v2**. ### Motivator (operator) The operator camps in the orchestrator's session to catch questions / give direction, but the ~13-min heartbeat check-ins + roster pings + routine tool chatter bury the messages actually meant for them. v1 is a CLEAN, FILTERED alternative view so they can stop watching the raw session. ### Build (v1, read-only feed) 1. **Per-project combined feed.** A Livewire view (e.g. `/rooms/{project}` or `/projects/{id}/feed`) merging, time-ordered, the already-persisted per-project event sources: brief_events (status_change / dispatched / note_added / question / answer), feedback (created/updated), daemon check-ins + compaction, dispatch_requests. A `FeedService` unions these into a normalized entry shape `{ts, source, kind, actor, summary, severity, audience, link}`. NO new event storage — query existing tables. 2. **Noise classification** (derived from source+kind — no schema change): **noise** = daemon_checkin heartbeats + roster liveness pings + routine low-signal check-ins; **activity** = brief status changes, dispatches, merges/commits, feedback created; **needs_you** = open questions (brief_ask), blocked/deferred briefs, feedback awaiting triage, daemon errors/MIA/compaction-requests (and, in v2, @operator mentions). 3. **Hide noise by default** — toggle to reveal (mirror #59's hide-completed pattern; persist via Livewire prop + query string). 4. **"Needs you" lane** — a pinned panel / filtered sub-view showing ONLY needs_you entries. 5. **Audible ping** — when a NEW needs_you entry arrives, fire a browser Notification + short bell; per-room mute toggle; ONLY for needs_you (never noise/activity). Use the existing Reverb broadcast purely as a "something changed → refresh + maybe ping" nudge — the ONLY Reverb use; no per-event chat choreography. ### Acceptance - /rooms/{project} renders a time-ordered merged feed from existing sources; noise hidden by default (toggle reveals); "Needs you" lane shows only operator-directed items; a new needs_you entry triggers an audible ping (mutable). - FeedService assembly + classification unit-tested; Livewire tests for default-hide + needs-you filter. `php artisan test` green + pint. `Brief: #39` trailer. - Reverb used only as a refresh nudge; confirm no migration needed (classification derived). ### Guardrails sqlite tests only; match the bloom design system; reuse existing broadcast infra; do NOT build per-event websocket chat. ### v2 (LINKED, not in v1) — bidirectional messaging Operator @-mentions a daemon → pushes to that daemon's inbox (delivery mechanism = #36 Q1); daemons post back via a `room_post` MCP tool → surfaced in the feed + operator inbox. Tracked as a separate linked brief; lets the operator RESPOND from the room instead of the raw session. ### Provenance Operator note #39 (2026-07-01). v1 locked 2026-07-02: async feed + noise filter + needs-you lane + audible ping; websocket-chat rejected as not worth it; messaging → linked v2. (Q2 answered: read-feed-first. Q1 resolved: async, after operator asked for the trade-off explainer.)

## Goal A per-project **combined activity feed + chat room** (IRC-like) so the operator can watch everything happening in a project in one live stream — brief events, feedback, daemon check-ins, dispatches — AND message the project's daemons (and receive messages back). ## Scope — v1 proposal The raw note is exploratory with several transport options. Propose v1 as an **additive per-project room** built on infra flower already runs (the operator inbox, daemon check-ins, Reverb broadcast), so it's a new view + a message primitive, not new infrastructure: 1. **Combined read feed (per project).** One time-ordered stream merging: brief events (status_change / dispatched / note_added), feedback created/updated, daemon check-ins + compaction, dispatch_requests. Live via the existing Reverb broadcast. 2. **Operator → daemon messages.** The operator types + **@-mentions** a daemon to push the message to that daemon (delivery mechanism = the decision tracked on **#36 Q1**, shared); the message also appears in the feed. 3. **Daemon → operator messages.** Daemons post into the room via a new MCP tool (e.g. `room_post`, requires `actor_ref`) → surfaced in the feed + the operator inbox. ## Open questions (BLOCKING — see brief_ask; brief stays `refining`) - Q1 — transport model for v1: real-time chat over Reverb vs an async inbox-style feed (persisted messages + broadcast refresh). - Q2 — v1 breadth: read-only combined feed first, or bidirectional operator↔daemon messaging from the start. - (Daemon-delivery mechanism is the SAME decision as #36 Q1 — tracked there, not re-asked here.) ## Acceptance (once Q1/Q2 resolved) - A per-project room view merges the event sources into one live feed. - (If bidirectional) operator can @-mention a daemon to message it; daemons can `room_post`; messages persist + appear in the feed. - Tests for feed assembly + (if in scope) message routing. `php artisan test` green + pint. `Brief: #39` trailer. ## Sizing Likely **2 dispatches** if bidirectional (feed first, then messaging). This spec scopes the v1 feed + the messaging contract; if the operator picks "read-feed-first", split messaging to a v2 brief. ## Provenance Operator note (#39, 2026-07-01). Refined by flower-design (2026-07-01) into a v1 riding on the existing inbox + Reverb. Transport + breadth posted as questions; daemon-delivery shared with **#36**.

One of the major motivators for this is that I leave myself in the orchestrators session to answer questions/give direction and keep an eye on activity but it's hard to keep up with because of the spam of timer messages and repeated/regular messages that aren't important or related to anything other thing the ping/tool call for the roster or something. So I think something important to address/try to accomplish here would be some way to filter out the 'noise' and potentially even further surface messages _meant_ for the operator or particularly need to be addressed by them. Also - seems like a good time to introduce some sort of audible 'ping' or bell sound or something when one of those messages comes through?

Refined into a v1 per-project room (combined feed + messaging, riding on the existing inbox + Reverb). Left REFINING with 2 blocking questions: transport (Reverb real-time vs async inbox-feed) and v1 breadth (read-feed-first vs bidirectional). The daemon-delivery decision is shared with #36 Q1. Not build-ready until answered.

Ok - hear me out... what about a 'chat room' for the operator (human user) and the orchestrators of a given project? Maybe something IRC-like where it's also passing events into the chat stream? Something like brief status changes, feedback created, updated, etc, etc but also a way to have a combined feed for a project? Maybe they don't see their own and maybe the operator view is technically just a combined stream/view of each "chat" with each running daemon as well as the event stream and in order to respond/message a particular daemon the user has to @ the daemon to effectively push the message into that daemon's 'inbox'. I guess this is effectively just a new component view as that modified feed combined with adding the ability for orchestrators to send messages to the operators inbox. Maybe it's not inbox, maybe we do actual websocket style chat, or actual IRC, or something like that?
