# Critique Theater Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Implement Critique Theater per `specs/current/critique-theater.md`: a panel-tempered, scored, replayable artifact-generation pipeline that runs five panelists (Designer, Critic, Brand, A11y, Copy) inside a single CLI session per artifact, gated by an auto-converging score threshold.
**Architecture:** Three new pure modules in `apps/daemon/src/critique/` (`parser`, `scoreboard`, `orchestrator`) consume the existing CLI stdout and emit new SSE events on the existing `/api/projects/:id/events` stream. New web components under `apps/web/src/components/Theater/` subscribe through a pure reducer. New shared contract types live in `packages/contracts/src/critique.ts`. SQLite gains five additive columns on `artifacts` via a reversible migration.
**Tech Stack:** TypeScript (Node 24, pnpm 10), Next.js 16 App Router, vitest, Playwright, SQLite (better-sqlite3), zod, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, axe-playwright, size-limit, ts-prune.
**Branch:** `feat/critique-theater` (already created off `main`).
**Reference docs:**
- Spec: `specs/current/critique-theater.md`
- Architecture boundaries: `specs/current/architecture-boundaries.md`
- Skills protocol: `docs/skills-protocol.md`
- Adapter contract: `docs/agent-adapters.md`
- Root agent guide: `AGENTS.md`

## Phase 0: Setup and baselines
### Task 0.1: Verify environment and run baseline checks
**Files:** none modified
- [ ] **Step 1: Verify branch and clean tree**
```bash
cd /c/Users/ekada/OneDrive/Desktop/Githubcontributing/open-design
git status
git branch --show-current
```
Expected: branch `feat/critique-theater`, working tree clean (or only `.omc/` untracked).
- [ ] **Step 2: Install and link workspaces**
```bash
pnpm install
```
Expected: pnpm 10.33.2, no errors, all workspace packages linked.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run baseline checks (these must pass before we change code)**
```bash
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test
pnpm check:residual-js
```
Expected: all pass on the unmodified `feat/critique-theater` branch.
- [ ] **Step 4: Confirm dev daemon and web boot end-to-end**
```bash
pnpm tools-dev start web --daemon-port 17456 --web-port 17573
pnpm tools-dev status --json
pnpm tools-dev stop
```
Expected: status JSON shows daemon and web both `running`, then both `stopped`.
- [ ] **Step 5: Record baseline metrics for later regression checks**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/web build 2>&1 | tail -20 > /tmp/web-baseline-build.txt
```
Expected: build completes; capture bundle size baseline for the size-limit gate later.

## Phase 1: Shared contracts (the foundation everything else depends on)
### Task 1.1: Add `CritiqueConfig` schema and defaults
**Files:**
- Create: `packages/contracts/src/critique.ts`
- Test: `packages/contracts/src/critique.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
```ts
// packages/contracts/src/critique.test.ts
import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
import {
CritiqueConfigSchema,
PANELIST_ROLES,
defaultCritiqueConfig,
} from './critique';
describe('CritiqueConfig', () => {
it('defaults validate against the schema', () => {
expect(() => CritiqueConfigSchema.parse(defaultCritiqueConfig())).not.toThrow();

expect(cfg.weights.brand).toBe(0.2);
expect(cfg.weights.a11y).toBe(0.2);
expect(cfg.weights.copy).toBe(0.2);
const sum = Object.values(cfg.weights).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
expect(sum).toBeCloseTo(1.0, 5);
});
it('cast lists every panelist role exactly once by default', () => {
expect(defaultCritiqueConfig().cast.sort()).toEqual([...PANELIST_ROLES].sort());
});
it('rejects scoreThreshold outside [0, scoreScale]', () => {

});
it('rejects fallbackPolicy outside the allowed set', () => {
expect(() => CritiqueConfigSchema.parse({
...defaultCritiqueConfig(),
fallbackPolicy: 'silent_fail',
})).toThrow();
});
});
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts test critique.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL with "cannot find module './critique'".
- [ ] **Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
```ts
// packages/contracts/src/critique.ts
import { z } from 'zod';
export const PANELIST_ROLES = ['designer', 'critic', 'brand', 'a11y', 'copy'] as const;

export type CritiqueConfig = z.infer<typeof CritiqueConfigSchema>;
export function defaultCritiqueConfig(): CritiqueConfig {

maxConcurrentRuns: 4,
};
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts test critique.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS, 5/5.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add packages/contracts/src/critique.ts packages/contracts/src/critique.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(contracts): add CritiqueConfig schema and defaults"
```
### Task 1.2: Add `PanelEvent` discriminated union
**Files:**
- Modify: `packages/contracts/src/critique.ts`
- Test: `packages/contracts/src/critique.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for the union exhaustiveness**
Append to `packages/contracts/src/critique.test.ts`:
```ts
import { isPanelEvent, type PanelEvent } from './critique';
describe('PanelEvent', () => {
it('isPanelEvent recognises every variant', () => {
const samples: PanelEvent[] = [

expect(isPanelEvent({})).toBe(false);
expect(isPanelEvent({ type: 'unknown', runId: 'r1' })).toBe(false);
expect(isPanelEvent(null)).toBe(false);
});
});
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts test critique.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL with "isPanelEvent is not exported".
- [ ] **Step 3: Append the discriminated union and guard**
Append to `packages/contracts/src/critique.ts`:
```ts
export type DegradedReason =
| 'malformed_block'
| 'oversize_block'
| 'adapter_unsupported'
| 'protocol_version_mismatch'
| 'missing_artifact';
export type FailedCause =

const PANEL_EVENT_TYPES = new Set<PanelEvent['type']>([
'run_started', 'panelist_open', 'panelist_dim', 'panelist_must_fix',
'panelist_close', 'round_end', 'ship', 'degraded', 'interrupted',
'failed', 'parser_warning',
]);
export function isPanelEvent(value: unknown): value is PanelEvent {
if (!value || typeof value !== 'object') return false;
const t = (value as { type?: unknown }).type;
return typeof t === 'string' && PANEL_EVENT_TYPES.has(t as PanelEvent['type']);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts test critique.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS, all assertions.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add packages/contracts/src/critique.ts packages/contracts/src/critique.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(contracts): add PanelEvent discriminated union and isPanelEvent guard"
```
### Task 1.3: Extend SSE event union with `critique.*` variants
**Files:**
- Modify: `packages/contracts/src/sse.ts` (existing)
- Modify: `packages/contracts/src/index.ts` (re-export critique)
- Test: `packages/contracts/src/sse.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Inspect the existing `sse.ts` to learn its pattern**
```bash
cat packages/contracts/src/sse.ts | head -80
```
Expected: existing `SseEvent` discriminated union pattern. Match it exactly when extending.
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing test**
```ts
// packages/contracts/src/sse.test.ts (append, do not overwrite if file exists)
import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
import { isSseEvent, panelEventToSse, type SseEvent } from './sse';
describe('SseEvent critique extensions', () => {
it('panelEventToSse maps PanelEvent.type "run_started" to SseEvent "critique.run_started"', () => {
const e = panelEventToSse({ type: 'run_started', runId: 'r1', protocolVersion: 1, cast: ['designer','critic','brand','a11y','copy'], maxRounds: 3, threshold: 8, scale: 10 });
expect(e.type).toBe('critique.run_started');
expect(isSseEvent(e)).toBe(true);
});
it('panelEventToSse round-trips every PanelEvent type', () => {
const types = ['run_started','panelist_open','panelist_dim','panelist_must_fix','panelist_close','round_end','ship','degraded','interrupted','failed','parser_warning'] as const;
for (const t of types) {
const e = panelEventToSse({ type: t, runId: 'r1' } as never);
expect(e.type).toBe(`critique.${t}`);
}
});
});
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run test to verify it fails**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts test sse.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL with "panelEventToSse not exported".
- [ ] **Step 4: Implement the extension**
Append to `packages/contracts/src/sse.ts`:
```ts
import type { PanelEvent } from './critique';
// Each critique.* SseEvent mirrors the corresponding PanelEvent payload.
// Wire format: { type: `critique.${PanelEvent['type']}`, ...rest }
export type CritiqueSseEvent = {
[K in PanelEvent['type']]: Extract<PanelEvent, { type: K }> extends infer P
? P extends { type: K } ? Omit<P, 'type'> & { type: `critique.${K}` } : never
: never
}[PanelEvent['type']];
export function panelEventToSse(e: PanelEvent): CritiqueSseEvent {
const { type, ...rest } = e;
return { type: `critique.${type}`, ...rest } as CritiqueSseEvent;
}
```
Also update the existing `SseEvent` union in the same file to include `CritiqueSseEvent`:
```ts
// existing line: export type SseEvent = ... | LegacyArtifactEvent | ...;
// change to: export type SseEvent = ... | LegacyArtifactEvent | ... | CritiqueSseEvent;
```
Update the existing `isSseEvent` guard if it enumerates types: append the 11 `critique.*` strings to the type-set.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run test to verify it passes and commit**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/contracts test
```
Expected: all sse tests pass.
```bash
git add packages/contracts/src/sse.ts packages/contracts/src/sse.test.ts packages/contracts/src/index.ts
git commit -m "feat(contracts): extend SseEvent with critique.* variants and panelEventToSse mapper"
```

## Phase 2: Streaming parser (pure, no I/O)
### Task 2.1: Author golden-file fixtures
**Files:**
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/v1/happy-3-rounds.txt`
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/v1/malformed-unbalanced.txt`
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/v1/malformed-oversize.txt`
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/v1/missing-artifact.txt`
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/v1/duplicate-ship.txt`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write `happy-3-rounds.txt`**
Use the canonical example from `specs/current/critique-theater.md` § Wire protocol verbatim, expanded into rounds 13 with a final `<SHIP>`. The fixture must be a complete, well-formed `<CRITIQUE_RUN>` block.
- [ ] **Step 2: Write `malformed-unbalanced.txt`**
Take the happy fixture and delete the closing `</PANELIST>` for the Critic in round 2. Keep file size below `parserMaxBlockBytes`. The parser must raise `MalformedBlockError`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write `malformed-oversize.txt`**
Pad a single `<NOTES>` block in round 1 with 300 KiB of `x` characters. The parser must raise `OversizeBlockError` because `parserMaxBlockBytes = 262144`.
- [ ] **Step 4: Write `missing-artifact.txt`**
Take the happy fixture and remove the `<ARTIFACT>` block from the Designer's round 1 entry. Parser must raise `MissingArtifactError` at round 1 close.
- [ ] **Step 5: Write `duplicate-ship.txt` and commit**
Take the happy fixture and append a second `<SHIP>` block. The parser must keep the first, drop the second, emit a `parser_warning` with `kind: 'duplicate_ship'`.
```bash
git add apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__
git commit -m "test(critique): add v1 wire-protocol golden fixtures"
```
### Task 2.2: Implement the streaming parser

- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests and verify they pass**
```bash

```
### Task 2.3: Cover failure-mode fixtures
**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__tests__/parser.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing tests for malformed inputs**
```ts
import { MalformedBlockError, OversizeBlockError, MissingArtifactError } from '../errors';
it('throws MalformedBlockError on unbalanced tags', async () => {
await expect(collect(parseCritiqueStream(chunkify(fixture('malformed-unbalanced.txt')), {
runId: 't', adapter: 'test', parserMaxBlockBytes: 262_144,
}))).rejects.toBeInstanceOf(MalformedBlockError);
});
it('throws OversizeBlockError when a single block exceeds the cap', async () => {
await expect(collect(parseCritiqueStream(chunkify(fixture('malformed-oversize.txt')), {
runId: 't', adapter: 'test', parserMaxBlockBytes: 262_144,
}))).rejects.toBeInstanceOf(OversizeBlockError);
});
it('throws MissingArtifactError when designer round 1 has no <ARTIFACT>', async () => {
await expect(collect(parseCritiqueStream(chunkify(fixture('missing-artifact.txt')), {
runId: 't', adapter: 'test', parserMaxBlockBytes: 262_144,
}))).rejects.toBeInstanceOf(MissingArtifactError);
});
it('emits parser_warning with kind=duplicate_ship and keeps the first SHIP', async () => {
const events = await collect(parseCritiqueStream(chunkify(fixture('duplicate-ship.txt')), {
runId: 't', adapter: 'test', parserMaxBlockBytes: 262_144,
}));
expect(events.filter(e => e.type === 'ship')).toHaveLength(1);
expect(events.find(e => e.type === 'parser_warning' && e.kind === 'duplicate_ship')).toBeDefined();
});
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests; verify three FAIL and one PASS or all FAIL based on current parser behavior**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/daemon test parser.test.ts
```
Expected: every case currently testing failure modes fails until the parser handles them; iterate until they pass.
- [ ] **Step 3: Tighten parser to honor the failure-mode invariants**
Audit `parsers/v1.ts` against the four invariants. The buffer overflow check is already in `parseCritiqueStream`. Verify the unbalanced case throws `MalformedBlockError` at end-of-stream when `state.inRun && !state.shipSeen` AND any open round/panelist remains. Add explicit tail-state checks.
- [ ] **Step 4: Re-run tests and confirm all pass**
```bash
pnpm --filter @open-design/daemon test parser.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS, 6/6.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add apps/daemon/src/critique
git commit -m "test(daemon): cover parser failure modes with golden fixtures"
```

### Task 5.2: Compose `panel.ts` into the existing prompt pipeline
**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/web/src/prompts/discovery.ts` (existing)
- [ ] **Step 1: Read existing composer to learn append point**
```bash
grep -n "compose\|render\|prompt" apps/web/src/prompts/discovery.ts | head -20

## Phase 6: Daemon API endpoints
### Task 6.1: Interrupt endpoint
**Files:**
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/api/projects/critique/interrupt.ts`
- Test: `apps/daemon/src/api/projects/critique/__tests__/interrupt.test.ts`

### Task 6.2: Rerun endpoint
**Files:**
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/api/projects/critique/rerun.ts`
- Test: `apps/daemon/src/api/projects/critique/__tests__/rerun.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 15: Same TDD shape as 6.1.** Endpoint resolves the original brief, builds a new artifact row (immutable original), and starts a fresh run with the previous artifact attached as prior-art context.
```bash
git commit -m "feat(daemon): /api/projects/:id/artifacts/:artifactId/critique/rerun endpoint"
```

## Phase 7: Web reducer and hooks (pure)
### Task 7.1: Reducer with all phases
**Files:**
- Create: `apps/web/src/components/Theater/state/reducer.ts`
- Test: `apps/web/src/components/Theater/state/__tests__/reducer.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing reducer tests**
```ts
import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
import { reduce, initialState, type CritiqueAction } from '../reducer';
describe('reducer', () => {
it('idle -> running on critique.run_started', () => {

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add apps/web/src/components/Theater/state
git commit -m "feat(web): pure reducer for Critique Theater states"
```
### Task 7.2: `useCritiqueStream` hook
**Files:**
- Create: `apps/web/src/components/Theater/hooks/useCritiqueStream.ts`
- Test: `apps/web/src/components/Theater/hooks/__tests__/useCritiqueStream.test.tsx`
- [ ] **Step 15:** Standard React hook TDD. Hook subscribes to the existing `useProjectEvents()` SSE bus, filters to `critique.*` events, feeds them into the reducer via `useReducer`, and returns `[state, dispatch]`. Use RTL with a stub event source to drive the test.
```bash
git commit -m "feat(web): useCritiqueStream hook subscribes to SSE and feeds reducer"
```
### Task 7.3: `useCritiqueReplay` hook
**Files:**
- Create: `apps/web/src/components/Theater/hooks/useCritiqueReplay.ts`
- Test: same `__tests__/`
- [ ] **Step 15:** Hook fetches `transcript_path`, decompresses if `.gz`, splits ndjson lines, dispatches into the reducer at the chosen speed. Test with a fixture transcript on disk.
```bash
git commit -m "feat(web): useCritiqueReplay hook drives reducer from transcript file"
```
---
## Phase 8: Theater components
### Task 8.18.8 (one task per component, identical TDD shape)
For each of `PanelistLane.tsx`, `ScoreTicker.tsx`, `RoundDivider.tsx`, `TheaterStage.tsx`, `TheaterCollapsed.tsx`, `TheaterTranscript.tsx`, `TheaterDegraded.tsx`, `InterruptButton.tsx`:
- [ ] **Step 1: Failing component test (RTL + jsdom).** Render the component with a representative slice of state. Assert role-based queries, ARIA wiring, score text rendering, and that `prefers-reduced-motion` short-circuits the animation. Use `userEvent` to test keyboard handling on `InterruptButton`.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run; expect FAIL** because the component does not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the component** under 200 LOC, using the role-keyed CSS custom-property pattern (`var(--ink-${role})`) backed by tokens that resolve through the active design system at runtime. No hex literals. All strings flow through the i18n registry (introduced in Task 9.2).
- [ ] **Step 4: Pass.** Re-run the test.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit.** One component per commit:
```bash
git add apps/web/src/components/Theater/<Component>.tsx apps/web/src/components/Theater/__tests__/<Component>.test.tsx
git commit -m "feat(web): Theater <Component>"
```
After Task 8.8, also commit `apps/web/src/components/Theater/index.ts` exporting only what is consumed externally:
```bash
git add apps/web/src/components/Theater/index.ts
git commit -m "feat(web): Theater public exports barrel"
```
---
## Phase 9: Wire-up, i18n, settings toggle
### Task 9.1: Wire Theater into the existing project view
**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/ProjectWorkspace/index.tsx` (existing)
- [ ] **Step 1: Failing integration test.** Render the workspace, post an event into the SSE bus, assert the Theater stage renders.
- [ ] **Step 24: Insert the Theater stage** beside the existing artifact iframe, gated on the project's `critique` setting. Use `<TheaterStage />` for live, `<TheaterCollapsed />` plus badge for `phase: 'shipped'`, etc. Keep the existing agent panel.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit.**
```bash
git commit -m "feat(web): mount Theater into ProjectWorkspace"
```
### Task 9.2: i18n strings in 6 locales
**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/web/src/i18n/content.ts` (existing) — add `critiqueTheater.*` keys.
- Modify: locale files for de, ja-JP, ko, zh-CN, zh-TW, en.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing test.** The existing duplicate-key check already catches duplicates; add a missing-key test that asserts every `critiqueTheater.*` key has a value in all six locales.
- [ ] **Step 2: Fail because keys do not exist yet.**
- [ ] **Step 3: Add keys.** Required keys:
- `critiqueTheater.title` ("Theater" / locale equivalents)
- `critiqueTheater.roleDesigner`, `roleCritic`, `roleBrand`, `roleA11y`, `roleCopy`
- `critiqueTheater.roundLabel` ("round {n} of {m}")
- `critiqueTheater.mustFix`, `composite`, `threshold`, `consensus`
- `critiqueTheater.interrupt`, `interrupting`, `interrupted`
- `critiqueTheater.degradedHeading`, `degradedReasonMalformed`, `degradedReasonOversize`, `degradedReasonAdapter`
- `critiqueTheater.replay`, `replaySpeed`, `readOnly`
- `critiqueTheater.shippedSummary`
- [ ] **Step 4: Pass.** All six locales populated.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit.**
```bash
git commit -m "feat(i18n): Critique Theater strings across all 6 locales"
```
### Task 9.3: Settings UI toggle "Critique Theater (beta)"
**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/Settings/index.tsx` (existing)
- Modify: `apps/daemon/src/api/settings.ts` (existing)
- [ ] **Step 15:** Add the toggle bound to `OD_CRITIQUE_ENABLED`. Persist through the existing settings endpoint. Test that the daemon reads the new value at run start. Commit.
```bash
git commit -m "feat(web,daemon): Settings toggle Critique Theater (beta)"
```
---
## Phase 10: Adapter conformance harness
### Adapter test matrix and pass criteria
The conformance harness runs against every adapter listed `status: production` in `docs/agent-adapters.md`. v1 production adapters: `claude-code`, `codex`, `cursor-agent`, `gemini-cli`, `devin`, `opencode`, `qwen-code`, `copilot-cli`, `hermes-acp`, `kimi-acp`, `pi-rpc`, `kiro-acp`, plus the `byok-proxy` fallback. Adapters in `status: experimental` are run nightly but do not block the per-adapter green badge.
**Brief templates** (10 templates × 13 adapters = 130 runs per nightly cycle):
| Template | Skill | Stresses |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `t01_minimal` | magazine-poster | minimum-token brief, sanity check |
| `t02_long_brief` | saas-landing | 10 KiB brief input, exercises long context |
| `t03_two_images` | dashboard | brief with two image attachments |
| `t04_dense_design_md` | finance-report | 30 KiB DESIGN.md to confirm BRAND panelist scales |
| `t05_terse_voice` | weekly-update | terse voice DESIGN.md, exercises Copy panelist |
| `t06_high_a11y_bar` | hr-onboarding | DESIGN.md with explicit AA + AAA mix, A11y panelist target |
| `t07_must_fix_chain` | kanban-board | brief that historically generated 5+ must-fix per round |
| `t08_brand_collision` | mobile-app | DESIGN.md whose tokens collide with brief intent on purpose |
| `t09_cjk_copy` | social-carousel | Japanese copy, exercises i18n in copy review |
| `t10_three_round_grind` | dating-web | brief that empirically requires all 3 rounds to converge |
**Pass criteria per adapter:** ≥ 90% of the 10 brief templates complete with `critique_status='shipped'` within `totalTimeoutMs`, and ≥ 95% of those parse cleanly (zero `MalformedBlockError`, `OversizeBlockError`, or `MissingArtifactError`). Any adapter that drops under either threshold for two consecutive nightly cycles is automatically marked `critique:degraded` with TTL = 24 hours; the operator gets one alert per adapter at the first failure.
**Retry budget:** any single template that emits `critique.degraded` is retried once with the same brief and adapter. Two consecutive `degraded` runs count as one failure for the rate calculation. Templates that emit `critique.interrupted` due to user action do not count toward conformance (interrupts are user-initiated, not adapter regressions).
**Synthetic adapter fixtures** under `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/adapters/` provide deterministic inputs for the harness in CI: `synthetic-good.ts` emits the canonical `happy-3-rounds.txt` content; `synthetic-bad.ts` emits `malformed-unbalanced.txt` to assert the degraded path fires.
### Task 10.1: Synthetic CLI fixture
**Files:**
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/adapters/synthetic-good.ts` — child-process stub that writes `happy-3-rounds.txt`.
- Create: `apps/daemon/src/critique/__fixtures__/adapters/synthetic-bad.ts` — stub that writes `malformed-unbalanced.txt`.
- [ ] **Step 15:** Write each as a tiny Node script invoked through the daemon's existing CLI-spawn primitive. Tests in `apps/daemon/src/critique/__tests__/conformance.test.ts` register both as fake adapters and assert good ⇒ shipped, bad ⇒ degraded with `critique:degraded` mark and 24h TTL.
```bash
git commit -m "feat(daemon): adapter conformance synthetic fixtures and degraded TTL"
```
### Task 10.2: Adapter registry degraded marking with TTL
**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/daemon/src/agents/registry.ts` (existing)
- [ ] **Step 15:** Add `markDegraded(adapterId, reason, ttlMs)` and `isDegraded(adapterId)` reading SQLite. Test with fake clock. Commit.
```bash
git commit -m "feat(daemon): adapter registry degraded marking with 24h TTL"
```
---
## Phase 11: Playwright e2e + visual regression + a11y
### Task 11.1: e2e happy path
**Files:**
- Create: `e2e/critique-theater.spec.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the test.** Boot `pnpm tools-dev run web --daemon-port 17456 --web-port 17573`, navigate to a seeded project, enable Critique Theater in settings, submit a brief, wait for the Theater stage, assert all 5 lanes render within 200 ms of the first SSE event, wait for `phase: 'shipped'`, assert the score badge appears with the composite from SQLite.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run; expect FAIL** until the wiring lands. Iterate.
- [ ] **Step 3 — Step 5:** Land, pass, commit:
```bash
git commit -m "test(e2e): Critique Theater happy path"
```
### Task 11.2: Interrupt path
- [ ] **Step 15:** Same shape; submit brief, press Esc mid-run, assert phase transitions to `interrupted` and badge shows `below_threshold` with `interrupted` tag.
```bash
git commit -m "test(e2e): Critique Theater interrupt path"
```
### Task 11.3: Visual regression at 3 viewports
- [ ] **Step 15:** Capture `toHaveScreenshot()` snapshots for live, shipped, replay, interrupted, degraded at 375, 768, 1280. Commit baseline images under `e2e/__screenshots__/critique-theater/`.
```bash
git commit -m "test(e2e): visual regression baselines for Theater states"
```
### Task 11.4: A11y self-test
- [ ] **Step 15:** Pipe each Theater state's rendered DOM through `axe-playwright`. Fail on any AA violation. Commit.
```bash
git commit -m "test(a11y): Theater self-audits to WCAG AA"
```
---
## Phase 12: Observability
### Task 12.1: Prometheus metrics
**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/daemon/src/metrics/index.ts` (existing)
- Test: `apps/daemon/src/metrics/__tests__/critique.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Failing test.** Register the metrics, drive a synthetic run through the orchestrator, scrape `/api/metrics`, assert the named series exist with sane labels.
- [ ] **Step 2: Fail.**
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement.** Register the nine metrics from `specs/current/critique-theater.md` § Observability. Bump them from inside the orchestrator at the corresponding events.
- [ ] **Step 4: Pass.**
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit.**
```bash
git commit -m "feat(daemon): Prometheus metrics for Critique Theater"
```
### Task 12.2: Structured logs
- [ ] **Step 15:** Add the six structured log events with the namespace `critique`. Test by capturing log output. Commit:
```bash
git commit -m "feat(daemon): structured logs for Critique Theater lifecycle"
```
### Task 12.3: Grafana dashboard JSON
**Files:**
- Create: `tools/dev/dashboards/critique.json`
- [ ] **Step 1: Author panels.** Three views per spec (`fleet quality`, `adapter health`, `brief throughput`). Use Prometheus datasource variable.
- [ ] **Step 2: Validate via** `pnpm dlx @grafana/cli ...` lint or hand-validate against an imported instance.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit.**
```bash
git commit -m "feat(observability): Grafana dashboard for Critique Theater"
```
---
## Phase 13: Performance and dead-code gates
### Task 13.1: `size-limit` config
**Files:**
- Modify: `package.json` root, add `size-limit` entry for `apps/web/dist/critique-theater.*`.
- Modify: `apps/web/.size-limit.json`
- [ ] **Step 1: Set the budget to 18 KiB gz** for the Theater bundle entry.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run** `pnpm size-limit`. Confirm pass below budget.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add CI step** in `.github/workflows/<existing>.yml` that fails on regression.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit.**
```bash
git commit -m "ci(perf): 18 KiB gz budget for Theater bundle"
```
### Task 13.2: Reducer benchmark gate
- [ ] **Step 15:** Add `apps/web/src/components/Theater/state/__bench__/reducer.bench.ts` running the full happy fixture through the reducer 10k times. Fail CI if p99 exceeds 2 ms. Commit.
```bash
git commit -m "ci(perf): reducer p99 bench gate at 2ms"
```
### Task 13.3: `ts-prune` scoped CI step
- [ ] **Step 15:** Add `pnpm check:dead-exports` script invoking `ts-prune` scoped to `apps/daemon/src/critique` and `apps/web/src/components/Theater`. Fail on any unreferenced export. Wire into the existing CI pipeline. Commit.
```bash
git commit -m "ci(quality): ts-prune dead-code gate for critique modules"
```
### Task 13.4: `pnpm check:critique-coverage` walker
**Files:**
- Create: `tools/dev/scripts/check-critique-coverage.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Author the walker.** Walk `CritiqueConfig` schema, `PanelEvent` union members, SSE event names, SQLite columns from the migration, every i18n `critiqueTheater.*` key. For each, grep the workspace for at least one production reference and one test. Fail on orphans.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run** locally to verify zero orphans on the current state.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add to root `package.json` scripts:** `"check:critique-coverage": "tsx tools/dev/scripts/check-critique-coverage.ts"`.
- [ ] **Step 4: Wire into CI.**
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit.**
```bash
git commit -m "ci(quality): check:critique-coverage walks every critique surface"
```

## Phase 14: Documentation
### Doc structure (locked before Task 14.1 starts)
The user-facing doc lands as a new file `docs/critique-theater.md`, not a subsection of an existing doc, because it introduces concepts (panel, score, rounds, replay, degraded mode) that have no home in the current docs tree. Outline:
```
docs/critique-theater.md
1. What is Design Jury (one-paragraph elevator + screenshot of Theater Stage)
2. How it works
- The five panelists and what each scores
- Auto-converging rounds (max 3, threshold 8.0/10)
- The single CLI session model (no parallel processes, no second transport)
3. Settings reference
- OD_CRITIQUE_ENABLED env var and the in-app toggle
- Per-skill override via SKILL.md frontmatter (od.critique.policy)
- Score threshold and weights (read-only in v1)
4. Reading the score badge
- composite, per-dim swatches, threshold marker
- what "below_threshold" / "interrupted" / "degraded" / "failed" each mean
5. Replay
- opening a transcript
- speed picker, scrub, jump-to-round shortcuts
6. Troubleshooting
- "panel offline this run" - causes and remediation per adapter
- "below threshold after 3 rounds" - tuning brief, switching skill
- "interrupted at round N" - resume vs ship-as-is vs re-brief
7. FAQ
- Why five panelists, why fixed?
- Why is my adapter marked degraded for 24h?
- Can I add my own panelist? (link to v2 roadmap entry)
```
The README adds a single line under the existing "What you get" table linking to the new doc; no new section in the README itself. `apps/daemon/src/critique/AGENTS.md` and `apps/web/src/components/Theater/AGENTS.md` give engineering-side guidance per the existing convention. `AGENTS.md` (root) gains an entry for `OD_CRITIQUE_ENABLED` in the environment-variables table.
### Task 14.1: User-facing `docs/critique-theater.md`
**Files:**
- Create: `docs/critique-theater.md`
- [ ] **Step 15:** Write a how-it-works document with screenshots of all 5 states (use the visual companion mockup as initial source, replace with real captures from M1). Include adapter compatibility table and a "what to do when the badge says below_threshold" troubleshooting guide.
```bash
git commit -m "docs: user-facing Critique Theater guide"
```
### Task 14.2: Update `docs/spec.md`, `docs/architecture.md`, `docs/skills-protocol.md`, `docs/agent-adapters.md`, `docs/roadmap.md`
- [ ] **Step 15 per file.** For each, add the section described in `specs/current/critique-theater.md` § Documentation deliverables. One commit per file:
```bash
git commit -m "docs(spec): add Critique Theater protocol v1 section"
git commit -m "docs(architecture): add critique module diagram"
git commit -m "docs(skills-protocol): document od.critique.policy"
git commit -m "docs(agent-adapters): add conformance contract"
git commit -m "docs(roadmap): note v2 panelist extensions"
```
### Task 14.3: README + AGENTS.md
- [ ] **Step 15:** Add the one-line entry to the README's "What you get" table. Add `apps/daemon/src/critique/AGENTS.md` and `apps/web/src/components/Theater/AGENTS.md` with module-level guidance per the existing convention. Commit:
```bash
git commit -m "docs: README + AGENTS.md entries for Critique Theater"
```
---
## Phase 15: Rollout
### Task 15.1: M0 flag wiring
- [ ] **Step 1: Default `OD_CRITIQUE_ENABLED=false`.**
- [ ] **Step 2: Run end-to-end.** Verify legacy generation is unchanged.
- [ ] **Step 3: Flip env to `true`.** Verify the orchestrator path runs.
- [ ] **Step 4: Document the env var** in `docs/critique-theater.md` and the README.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit.**
```bash
git commit -m "chore(rollout): M0 ships behind OD_CRITIQUE_ENABLED=false"
```
### Task 15.2: Final validation matrix
- [ ] **Step 1: Run** `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm test`, `pnpm test:ui`, `pnpm test:e2e:live`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm check:residual-js`, `pnpm check:dead-exports`, `pnpm check:critique-coverage`, `pnpm size-limit`. All must pass.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run** `pnpm tools-dev run web --daemon-port 17456 --web-port 17573` and validate live happy path with a real CLI on PATH.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run** `pnpm tools-dev inspect desktop status` on a GUI-capable machine.
- [ ] **Step 4: Confirm** the Grafana dashboard renders against a local Prometheus scrape.
- [ ] **Step 5: Open PR.**
```bash
git push -u origin feat/critique-theater
gh pr create --title "feat: Critique Theater (panel-tempered, scored, replayable artifacts)" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Adds a five-panelist debate layer (Designer / Critic / Brand / A11y / Copy) inside one CLI session per artifact.
- Auto-converging rounds, configurable score threshold, replayable transcripts.
- Zero new processes; same BYOK story; works across all 12 adapters with conformance grading.
## Test plan
- [ ] pnpm typecheck && pnpm test && pnpm test:ui
- [ ] pnpm test:e2e:live (Playwright happy + interrupt + visual + a11y)
- [ ] pnpm size-limit (Theater bundle < 18 KiB gz)
- [ ] pnpm check:critique-coverage (no orphan surfaces)
- [ ] manual: enable in Settings, submit a brief, watch Theater, ship at >= 8.0
- [ ] manual: press Esc mid-run, confirm interrupted state ships best-of round
- [ ] manual: switch to a degraded adapter, confirm legacy fallback + banner

## Self-review checklist (run after writing this plan)
- [ ] Every spec section is implemented by at least one task. Confirmed: contracts (Task 1), parser (2), scoreboard (3), persistence (4), prompt (5), API (6), reducer/hooks (7), components (8), wire-up/i18n/settings (9), conformance (10), e2e/visual/a11y (11), observability (12), perf/dead-code (13), docs (14), rollout (15).
- [ ] No `TBD`, `TODO`, `placeholder`, `fill in details` in any task body. (One mention of the literal string "TODO comments" in Task 5.1 documents what the AGENT must NOT emit.)
- [ ] Type names and signatures used in later tasks (`runOrchestrator`, `panelEventToSse`, `decideRound`, `selectFallbackRound`, `computeComposite`, `RoundState`, `CritiqueState`) match definitions in earlier tasks.
- [ ] Each step is 25 minutes of work. Tasks 8.x and 14.x are templates that repeat the same TDD shape per file; engineers iterate the template per item.
- [ ] Every `git commit` line uses Conventional Commits matching OD's existing style (`feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `test`, `ci`, `chore`).
- [ ] Frequent commits: every task closes with one commit; large phases close with multiple commits.
