UIUX Designer figured out at runtime (Run 6, 2026-04-14) how to get
Playwright working without a Dockerfile change:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/agent/.cache/ms-playwright/firefox-1509/firefox"
node script.cjs
Using @sparticuz/chromium + puppeteer-core, and borrowing the NSS/NSPR
libs bundled with Playwright's Firefox binary. This resolves every missing
lib on the container without needing apt-get or image rebuild.
Agent memory persists the trick across restarts, but a fresh org-template
import (new user) would have to rediscover it. Baking the recipe into the
cron prompt so every clone inherits day-one screenshot capability.
Evidence it works (from Run 6 memory):
- 14 screenshots captured and vision-analysed
- Found 2 new criticals (C4 onboarding-guide a11y, C5 settings panel white
refresh button confirmed in production) that only surface via live DOM
- Full user-flow coverage: home → create → settings → help → templates →
mobile 375 → responsive 1280
Replaces the previous "best-effort + fall back to HTML" wording with a
specific, proven command path. Falls back on HTML only if the browser
genuinely won't launch (e.g. host.docker.internal:3000 down).
Template-level fix; the general platform-level path would be to ship
these libs in the workspace-template image directly (future Dockerfile
change — out of scope here).
Observed 2026-04-14 morning: audit crons (Security, UIUX, QA) were flowing
messages into PM per the PR #26 contract, but PM stopped sub-delegating to
Dev Lead ~10 hours ago. Meanwhile audits started opening PRs directly
(bypassing Dev Lead), and Dev Lead / BE / FE / DevOps / QA sat idle for
17+ maintenance cycles despite PRs continuing to land.
Root cause: PM's system prompt defined delegation behavior for "tasks from
CEO" but didn't explicitly treat audit summaries as tasks. PM was reading
"audit of SHA X, filed issue #N, top recommendation: fix Y" as a status
report and committing it to memory without triggering the dispatch chain.
Adds a dedicated "Audit Routing" section to PM's prompt that:
- Treats every audit summary with open issue numbers as a dispatch trigger
- Specifies routing by category (security→BE, ui→FE, infra→DevOps, qa→QA)
- Requires parallel `delegate_task_async` when issues span categories
- Makes clean-cycle acks the only no-op case
This turns PM from a receptionist into a dispatcher — which was the
original intent of the audit-routing contract in #26.
Aligns with the north-star goal (keep the team running 24/7): dead idle
windows when audits had live issue numbers is a defect in orchestration,
not a quiet period.
Follow-up to root-cause analysis in #17 (see 2026-04-14 02:14 UTC comment).
The Security Auditor's hourly DAST was creating test workspaces, secrets,
and plugins to probe auth/validation logic — but only secrets and plugins
had teardown in the prompt. Workspace-create probes leaked rows into
`workspaces` with sequential IDs aaaaaaaa- bbbbbbbb- cccccccc- dddddddd-,
each trapped in a restart loop on missing config.yaml. Four hourly runs,
four leaked workspaces.
Adds explicit step 4a: DAST TEARDOWN. Maintains three lists (workspaces,
secrets, plugins) populated as probes run, and iterates them at the end
with DELETE calls. Uses `|| true` so partial teardown failures don't
break the audit, but every created artifact gets a cleanup attempt.
Doesn't remove the cleanup the cron was already doing for secrets/plugins
— just formalises the pattern so workspace-create (and any future probe
surface) is covered by the same contract.

Currently no workspace in the molecule-dev template installs any of the
four available plugins (browser-automation, ecc, molecule-dev, superpowers).
Agents run without coding guardrails, codebase conventions, or debugging
discipline unless a plugin is installed per-workspace via the runtime
POST /workspaces/:id/plugins endpoint — which isn't happening.
Changes:
1. defaults.plugins: [ecc, molecule-dev, superpowers]
- ecc: "Everything Claude Code" — coding standards, API design,
deep research, security review, TDD workflow, node guardrails
- molecule-dev: project-specific conventions, past bugs, review-loop skill
- superpowers: systematic debugging, TDD, plan writing/execution,
verification-before-completion
All three target runtime claude_code (matches our default).
2. plugins override on Research Lead + its 3 children + UIUX Designer:
[ecc, molecule-dev, superpowers, browser-automation]
- Research agents need live web access for scraping/trending/docs,
which is core to their role.
- UIUX Designer gets Puppeteer via CDP; this may work around the
libglib/X11 gap that breaks Playwright today (#23 — the image-level
fix remains the right long-term solution, but browser-automation
uses puppeteer-core + a Chrome CDP proxy and may bypass the deps
issue entirely).
Note: platform/internal/handlers/org.go:345 treats per-workspace
`plugins:` as a REPLACEMENT of defaults (not a union), which is why
each opt-in workspace re-lists the full set. Documented inline in the
template so future editors don't accidentally drop defaults.
No other roles take browser-automation — Dev Lead, BE, FE, DevOps,
Security, QA, PM all get the default set only. If they need web access
they can install ad-hoc via the runtime plugin API.
Addresses the gap surfaced by CEO 2026-04-13: audit agents (Security
Auditor, QA Engineer, UIUX Designer) were running their crons successfully
but findings stayed in agent memory and didn't consistently flow to
GitHub issues or to developers with build ability. BE noticed Security
findings once via a manual escalation; subsequent hourly audits
accumulated 13 criticals (including an unauthenticated-plugin-install
RCE) with no durable tracking.
Changes:
1. Security Auditor schedule: replace 12h (7 6,18 * * *) with hourly
(17 * * * *) to match what's actually running in the platform DB.
Rewrite the prompt with the full body of the runtime cron — git diff
scoping, gosec/bandit, manual checklist, live API DAST, secrets scan,
open-PR review.
2. QA Engineer schedule: keep 12h cadence, tighten post-audit routing.
3. UIUX Designer: add a schedule (was previously runtime-only — see #24).
Uses hourly cadence to match runtime. Accepts Playwright may be
unavailable (see #23) and falls back to HTML analysis with the
limitation noted in the deliverable.
All three audit crons now end with an identical FINAL STEP — DELIVERABLE
ROUTING block that makes the post-audit flow MANDATORY:
a. File a GitHub issue for each CRITICAL / HIGH finding (dedupe first)
b. delegate_task to PM with a structured summary listing issue numbers;
PM decides which dev agent picks up which issue
c. Even on clean cycles, send PM a one-line "clean on SHA X" so audits
are observable
d. Memory write becomes a secondary record, not the primary deliverable
Rationale: findings need to flow into the issue tracker (durable, visible
to CEO, part of the PR/issue review feedback loop already in place) and
through PM (who owns cross-team orchestration). Memory-only output is
invisible to everyone except the auditor itself.

Addresses FLAG 1 and FLAG 2 from the 7-Gate review on PR #20.
FLAG 1 (token persisted on disk):
Previous: `git clone https://x-access-token:${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/...` wrote
the full tokenized URL into /workspace/repo/.git/config as `[remote "origin"] url = …`.
Token survived container restarts on any bind-mounted workspace_dir.
Fix: after clone, `git remote set-url origin https://github.com/${GITHUB_REPO}.git`
scrubs the token from the remote URL. Token is only in the clone command's argv
(transient) and not persisted on disk. Falls back to anonymous for public repos.
FLAG 2 (docs not updated):
Added GITHUB_REPO and GITHUB_TOKEN entries under a new 'GitHub' section in
.env.example with notes about (a) what they're read for, (b) that GITHUB_TOKEN
should be registered as a global secret via POST /admin/secrets, (c) how it's
handled to avoid on-disk persistence.
FLAG 3 (per-workspace gating) is deferred to a separate issue — it's a platform
design question about secret scope/ACLs, not a template fix.
Fixes the template-layer half of #13. Previously initial_prompt cloned
`https://github.com/${GITHUB_REPO}.git` with no authentication, which
fails for private repos in non-TTY docker exec with:
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com':
terminal prompts disabled
Now the prompt uses `https://x-access-token:${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/...`
when GITHUB_TOKEN is present in env (global secret, set per CEO on 2026-04-13),
falls back to anonymous clone when it isn't.
This is a belt-and-suspenders template default. The platform-level fix
(#13) is still needed so the provisioner rewrites clone URLs
consistently, but the template should work out of the box too.
