Teknium e27c819de3 fix(kanban): deep-scan pass 2 — synthetic runs, event.run_id plumbing, invariant recovery, live drawer refresh
Second integration audit covering surfaces the first pass didn't hit.
Found eight issues spanning kernel, dashboard frontend, notifier, and CLI.
All behavioral / UX fixes; no schema change.

Kernel
  - complete_task on a never-claimed task (ready/blocked → done with no
    run in flight) was silently dropping the summary/metadata/result
    onto a non-existent run. Now synthesizes a zero-duration run
    (started_at == ended_at) so attempt history is complete. Only
    fires when there's actually handoff data to persist — bare
    complete_task(tid) remains a no-op for run creation.
  - block_task on a never-claimed task had the same bug for --reason.
    Same fix: synthesize a zero-duration run when a reason is passed.
  - Event dataclass gained a `run_id: Optional[int] = None` field.
    list_events, unseen_events_for_sub, and the dashboard _event_dict
    were all SELECTing the column but dropping it on the way out,
    so downstream consumers couldn't group events by attempt. Every
    read path now surfaces run_id.
  - claim_task got a defensive invariant-recovery step: if somehow
    `current_run_id` is non-NULL on a task in 'ready' status (invariant
    violation from an unknown code path), close the leaked run as
    'reclaimed' inside the same txn as the new claim. No-op in the
    common case; belt-and-suspenders in case a future code path forgets
    to clear the pointer.

Dashboard
  - GET /tasks/:id events array now carries run_id per event (via
    _event_dict).
  - WebSocket /events SELECT now includes run_id in the pushed event
    payload.
  - TaskDrawer reloads itself on live events for its own task id. New
    `taskEventTick[taskId]` state in the Board, incremented on every
    WS event, passed down as `eventTick` prop; drawer's useEffect
    depends on it. Previously, background workers completing a task
    the user was viewing left the drawer showing stale data until
    manual close/reopen.
  - CSS: added `.hermes-kanban-run--ended` rule for the fallback class
    the JS emits when outcome is unset. Harmless before; just
    inconsistent.

CLI
  - `hermes kanban watch --kinds` help text listed the legacy event
    name `spawn_auto_blocked`. The kernel migration renames it to
    `gave_up`, so users typing the documented name got zero matches.
    Now shows the current lexicon (`completed,blocked,gave_up,
    crashed,timed_out`).

Tests (+6 in core functionality, +1 in dashboard plugin)
  - complete_never_claimed_task_synthesizes_run
  - block_never_claimed_task_synthesizes_run
  - complete_never_claimed_without_handoff_skips_synthesis
  - event_dataclass_carries_run_id (created.run_id None, completed.run_id matches)
  - unseen_events_for_sub_includes_run_id (notifier path)
  - claim_task_recovers_from_invariant_leak (engineer the leak, verify recovery)
  - event_dict_includes_run_id (dashboard API shape)

171/171 kanban suite pass under scripts/run_tests.sh. Live-smoke (isolated
HERMES_HOME via execute_code) exercised all six fixed paths plus the
claim-after-leak recovery sequence.

Docs
  - Runs section: new 'Synthetic runs for never-claimed completions'
    and 'Live drawer refresh' paragraphs explaining the invariants.
  - Event reference: `created` / `promoted` / `unblocked` entries now
    explicitly note `run_id` is `NULL`; `completed` / `blocked`
    describe synthetic-run fallback.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
