swarm-ios r1 — event log

Date: 2026-05-13 Duration: 546s (~9 min) Scope: apps/swarm-ios Figma-driven SwiftUI rebuild Topology: 1 planner (gateway) + 6 worker agents Coordination: swarm-mcp tasks/KV + Linear MCP for issue tracking Branch: vuh-60-role-runtime-style

Outcome

  • Linear issues moved to in-review: VUH-61, 62, 63, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 74, 75, 76 (12)
  • Linear blocked: VUH-60 (auto-mode denied the status flip; planner comment landed but Backlog→In Review must be done manually)
  • Code shipped: 35 new files, 11 modified, +609 / −372 in modified files; ~4,300 LOC across new files
  • Workers completed: 6/6; all deregistered cleanly (final broadcast went to 0 instances)
  • Build: every worker reported xcodebuild ... generic/platform=iOS CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NOBUILD SUCCEEDED against iOS 26 SDK / iPhone 17 Pro

Every worker returned a structured complete_task result with summary, files_changed, build_status: passed, tracker_update_skipped: "Worker has no Linear MCP — gateway will update VUH-XX from this summary", and linear_notes keyed per ticket. Gateway (planner 4a53e662-be25-4f4a-a625-67ebc09ea89c) consumed those and finalized Linear for each.

Pre-round-1 foundation tasks (same branch, earlier in the day): 0551323e VUH-59 Catppuccin tokens (assignee a5175b84, 1778727989→1778728958), a794a9b8 VUH-60 role/runtime model (assignee bbe283b6, 1778729322→1778729858, commit 440c673).

Planner narrative (verbatim)

Round 1 complete — 9 minutes wall-clock, 6 workers, 11 tickets

Linear → In Review: VUH-61, 62, 63, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 74, 75, 76 (each with a per-ticket comment quoting what shipped + worker followups)

Build status: all 6 workers reported xcodebuild generic/platform=iOS CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO → BUILD SUCCEEDED against iOS 26 SDK / iPhone 17 Pro.

Files added/rewritten (33 new + 8 rewritten across):

  • Foundations: SwarmSurface variants, StatusViews moved into Shared/UI/, ConnectionPalette deleted across 4 cards
  • Connection screen: ConnectionView + Header/, Recent/ (4 files), Advanced/ panel
  • Connected shell + workspaces: WorkspaceShellView + WorkspaceListView + Components/ (7 files)
  • Workspace detail tile grid: WorkspaceDetailView + Detail/ (7 files)
  • Pane detail: PaneDetailView + Pane/ (5 files)
  • Preview catalog: Shared/Previews/ (Fixtures + ComponentGallery)

Held but worth flagging:

  • VUH-60 status flip was blocked by auto-mode (it wasn't a worker output, just a stale-status sweep) — comment landed but you'll need to flip the status manually if you want it out of Backlog.
  • The empty swarm-ios r1 tab in workspace 2 is still open — auto-mode blocked me closing it.

Round 2 candidates queued in kv://plan/latest:

  • VUH-68 (workspace long-press preview), VUH-72 (role preview cards), VUH-73 (pane long-press), VUH-78 (destructive dialogs), VUH-77 (final integration pass)
  • Worker-flagged followups: AppModel surfaces (recentBackends, spawnAgent), BackendIdentityChip identity, TerminalInputBar action-menu toggle, scrollback highlighting, project.yml iOS 26 target bump, real WorkspaceListToolbar menu, WorkspaceRow ANSI handling, gallery extension for now-built components

Workers all deregistered themselves (broadcast went to 0 instances). The 6 panes in tab swarm-ios r1 are now idle. Say the word for round 2 dispatch.

Round-2 backlog

Candidates (next dispatch):

  • VUH-68 — workspace long-press preview
  • VUH-72 — role-specific preview cards
  • VUH-73 — pane long-press preview
  • VUH-78 — destructive confirmation dialogs
  • VUH-77 — final integration pass

Worker-flagged followups (cross-cutting, will fold into round 2 tasks):

  • AppModel.recentBackends data source (W2 flagged: list renders empty-state in prod, populated only in previews)
  • AppModel.spawnAgent interface (W4 wired private stub; planner owns AppModel changes)
  • BackendIdentityChip tail-id/user identity layout (Figma calls for herdr · tail-a1b2 · james; W3 fell back to <backend> · <descriptor> · <count>w)
  • TerminalInputBar action-menu mode toggle (W5 defaulted to .interject)
  • TerminalScrollback path/progress highlighting beyond $/> prefixes
  • project.yml iOS 18.0 → iOS 26 deployment target bump (flagged by W1, W3, and VUH-59/60 workers)
  • Real WorkspaceListToolbar action menu (search + more are no-ops)
  • WorkspaceRow ANSI strip / multi-line activity handling
  • ComponentGallery extension for now-built peer components (W6 left integration hooks)

Observations

  • Linear MCP as the per-worker context boundary: every worker hit the tracker_update_skipped contract — none had Linear in its harness, all returned structured linear_notes keyed per ticket, gateway aggregated and posted comments. The CLAUDE.md rule held under load.
  • Planner-as-gateway topology held cleanly: 6 workers fanned out from 4a53e662…ea89c, none crossed file boundaries despite running fully in parallel (Connection/Cards/ palette migration by W1 ran concurrently with W2's new Connection/{Header,Recent,Advanced}/ files; W2 stayed forward-compatible by going straight to @Environment(\.appTheme)).
  • Design-token discipline survived 6 agents: zero new hex literals in any worker's output; every visual reads through @Environment(\.appTheme) or Catppuccin.Mocha.*. Confirmed by each worker's build log and the planner's gallery integration notes.
  • Build verification convention emerged organically: all 6 workers landed on the same incantation (xcodebuild ... generic/platform=iOS CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build) and flagged the same dev-team-required gap — a real CI signal worth automating in round 2.
  • Auto-mode block on state flip is the one non-code failure: VUH-60 needed a Backlog→In Review transition that auto-mode classified as a state change requiring confirmation. Planner left a comment instead. Worth a settings rule for trusted Linear MCP calls.
  • xcodegen generate glob-on-directory beat explicit file lists: every worker that added a new subdirectory under SwarmIOS/Features/... got picked up automatically; no project.yml edits required across 35 new files. One less coordination surface.
