* feat(kanban): add `specify` — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks
The Triage column shipped with a placeholder 'a specifier will flesh
out the spec', but the specifier itself was never built. This wires
it up as a dedicated CLI verb.
`hermes kanban specify <id>` calls the auxiliary LLM (configured under
`auxiliary.triage_specifier`) to expand a rough one-liner into a
concrete spec — tightened title plus a body with Goal / Approach /
Acceptance criteria / Out-of-scope sections — then atomically flips
`status: triage -> todo` and recomputes ready so parent-free tasks
go straight to the dispatcher on the same tick.
Surface:
hermes kanban specify <task_id> # single task
hermes kanban specify --all [--tenant T] # sweep triage column
hermes kanban specify ... --author NAME # audit-comment author
hermes kanban specify ... --json # one JSON line per task
Design choices:
- Parent gating is preserved. specify_triage_task flips to 'todo',
then recompute_ready promotes to 'ready' only when parents are
done — same rule as a normal parent-gated todo.
- No daemon, no background watcher. Every invocation is explicit —
keeps cost predictable and doesn't fight the dispatcher loop.
- Response parse is lenient: strict JSON preferred, markdown-fence
tolerated, raw-body fallback on malformed JSON so the LLM can't
strand a task in triage.
- All failure modes (no aux client, API error, task moved out of
triage mid-call) return SpecifyOutcome(ok=False, reason=...) so
--all continues past individual failures.
Changes:
hermes_cli/kanban_db.py + specify_triage_task()
hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py NEW (~220 LOC — prompt, parse, call)
hermes_cli/kanban.py + specify subcommand + _cmd_specify
hermes_cli/config.py + auxiliary.triage_specifier task slot
website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md specify + config notes
website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md CLI reference entry
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify_db.py NEW (10 tests)
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify.py NEW (20 tests)
Validation: 30/30 targeted tests pass. E2E: triage task -> specify ->
ends in 'ready' with events [created, specified, promoted] and the
audit comment recorded under the configured author.
* feat(kanban): wire specifier into dashboard and gateway slash
Follow-ups to the initial PR #21435 — closes the two gaps I'd left as
post-merge: dashboard button and first-class gateway surface.
Dashboard (plugins/kanban/dashboard/)
- POST /tasks/:id/specify NEW endpoint. Thin wrapper around
kanban_specify.specify_task(). Returns the CLI outcome shape
({ok, task_id, reason, new_title}); ok=false with a human reason
is a 200, not a 4xx, so the UI can render it inline without
treating 'no aux client configured' as a crash.
- Runs sync in FastAPI's threadpool because the LLM call can take
tens of seconds on reasoning models.
- Pins HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD around the specify call so the module's
argless kb.connect() lands on the right board.
- dist/index.js: doSpecify callback threaded through the drawer →
TaskDetail → StatusActions prop chain. ✨ Specify button appears
ONLY when task.status === 'triage' (elsewhere the backend would
reject anyway — hide the button to keep the action row clean).
Busy state (Specifying…) + inline success/error banner under the
button using the response.reason text.
- dist/style.css: tiny hermes-kanban-msg-ok / -err classes using
existing --color vars so themes reskin cleanly.
Gateway slash (/kanban specify)
- Already works via the existing run_slash → build_parser →
kanban_command pipeline. No code change needed — slash commands
inherit the argparse tree automatically. Added coverage:
test_run_slash_specify_end_to_end (create --triage, specify, verify
promotion + retitle) and test_run_slash_specify_help_is_reachable.
Tests
- tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py: 3 new tests for the
REST endpoint — happy path, non-triage rejection as ok=false 200,
missing aux client as ok=false 200.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_cli.py: 2 new slash-surface tests.
Docs
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md: dashboard action row
description mentions ✨ Specify + all three surfaces. REST table
gains /tasks/:id/specify. Slash examples include /kanban specify.
Validation: 340/340 targeted tests pass. E2E via TestClient: create a
triage task over REST → POST /specify with mocked aux client → task
moves to 'ready' column on /board with new title and body applied.
