Acceptance Criteria

  • Reviewer pool emits alex instead of alex-docs
  • Single alex identity carries docs reviewer metadata
  • Historical alex-docs reviewer references backfilled to alex
  • Seed and reviewer_selector tests updated green

Expected Test Plan

  • unit

Checks Run

  • [unit] agents_seed_test + reviewer_selector_test + reviewer_select_test (CLI) — 41 runs, 0 failures
  • [unit] models+services+helpers regression — 779 runs, 0 failures
  • [integration] board_card_stage_avatars_test + tasks_controller_test — 62 runs, 0 failures
  • [migration] BackfillAlexDocsReviewerSlug ran clean on worktree dev DB (no-op on empty data)
  • [post-deploy] bin/rails db:seed on mcritchie-studio-qa → FAILED (2026-06-24T07:28:16Z)
  • [post-deploy] bin/rails runner 'load Rails.root.join(db/seeds/02_agents.rb).to_s' on mcritchie-studio-qa → ok (2026-06-24T07:38:26Z)
  • [post-deploy] bin/rails runner 'load Rails.root.join(db/seeds/02_agents.rb).to_s' on mcritchie-studio → ok (2026-06-24T13:45:26Z)

Agent Context

Operator wants the FleetView status line to read 'alex' for the Documentation review hat instead of 'alex-docs'. The -docs suffix exists only because slug 'alex' is already the orchestrator board row; the alex-docs row is Alex's review persona (persona_of: alex). Resolution chosen by operator: MERGE the two into a single 'alex' identity that is orchestrator + docs reviewer. Touches: db/seeds/02_agents.rb (fold alex-docs metadata into alex, reviewer:true + docs domains; remove the alex-docs row), a data migration to backfill historical TaskEvent reviewer slugs alex-docs->alex, app/services/reviewer_selector.rb (POOL + DEFAULT_DOMAINS + comments), app/models/task.rb comment, test/services/reviewer_selector_test.rb + test/models/agents_seed_test.rb (invert the 'distinct seat' assertions), avatar asset/script, and docs (mission.md, avi/role.md, devops-cycle-design.md). KNOWN CONSEQUENCE: the orchestrator Alex now sits in the senior review pool. Local ~/.claude/agents/alex-docs.md -> alex.md swap is a machine-local, ship-time step (renaming before the POOL change ships would break reviewer spawn resolution).

Stage Timeline

Who handled each stage, the time it took (measured), and the model / tokens / cost reported (best-effort) — plus who's on it right now. — means the agent didn't report that metric.

Conversation

QA review feedback, agent handoffs, and follow-up notes for this task.

Handoff 3 days ago

Built by Alex. Because this PR puts Alex into the senior review pool AND Alex authored it, exclude him when selecting reviewers: bin/reviewer-select merge-docs-reviewer-into-alex --builder alex (needed domains here are backend+docs, so carl + alex both fit — without the override the selector could pick Alex to review his own change). Ship: post_deploy_cmd db:seed is set; after ship rename local ~/.claude/agents/alex-docs.md -> alex.md so reviewer spawns resolve to 'alex'.

Comment avi 3 days ago

Review: carl[light] APPROVE (migration reversible/idempotent, no broken refs); alex-docs[heavy] BLOCK on one stale ref — bin/reviewer-select:13 still says 'alex-docs=Documentation'. Fixing in-place (comment-only).

Comment avi 3 days ago

Block resolved (cd3848b): bin/reviewer-select:13 stale ref alex-docs->alex (verified, comment-only). carl[light] APPROVE + alex-docs[heavy] block addressed. dor-check ✓. Merge-gated on CI test green.

Comment steffon 3 days ago

DEPLOY FIX (conductor): narrowed post_deploy_cmd from 'bin/rails db:seed' -> 'bin/rails runner load(db/seeds/02_agents.rb)'. The full db:seed (a) failed at db/seeds/54_ai_builder_multiple_candidates.rb:232 (non-idempotent: 'Github login has already been taken') and (b) would seed DEMO News/Content/Tasks into PROD at ship. 02_agents is self-documented idempotent + prod-safe and is the only seed this task needs (retire alex-docs / give alex the docs reviewer seat). Verified the agents change already applied on QA.
