Problem

broadcast_enabled and talk_to_user_enabled are workspace-level agent abilities with complete, wired backends (commit 29b4bffbworkspace_abilities.go, workspace_broadcast.go, agent_message_writer.go; mutated via PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities, router.go:151). But there was no usable canvas control, so the CTO cannot see or toggle either ability from the canvas:

  • broadcast_enabled (default FALSE): no canvas control existed at all. The field is hydrated into the store (canvas-topology.ts:524) but nothing rendered/mutated it.
  • talk_to_user_enabled (default TRUE): only surfaced as the ChatTab.tsx recovery banner, which renders solely when the flag is false — so under the TRUE default it is never visible.

Refs internal#510 (broadcast), internal#511 (talk-to-user), backend commit 29b4bffb.

What changed

  • canvas/src/components/tabs/ConfigTab.tsx: new always-visible AgentAbilitiesSection (a standard Section with two Toggles, reusing existing form-input components), rendered after the Runtime section. Both toggles:
    • call the existing PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities endpoint (the same call the ChatTab recovery banner uses — no new client function),
    • optimistically update the store field they already live in (updateNodeDatabroadcastEnabled / talkToUserEnabled), with rollback to last server truth on failure,
    • reflect server truth via the existing canvas-topology hydration (read from the store node, mirroring AgentCardSection's pattern).
  • canvas/src/components/tabs/__tests__/ConfigTab.abilities.test.tsx: 5 tests — section renders always-visible, both toggles reflect the asymmetric defaults (talk ON / broadcast OFF) and explicit store values, and each toggle PATCHes the correct snake_case body + optimistically updates the store.

No backend changes. No new dependencies. The ChatTab.tsx recovery banner is left unchanged — the disabled-state recovery path is not regressed; the new toggles are the always-visible control.

Verification (real output)

  • npm run build (the canvas CI gate): passed — clean Next.js production build.
  • npx vitest run ConfigTab + ChatTab suites: 41/41 passed (ConfigTab.sections / .provider / .hermes / .abilities + ChatTab.imeAndLinks / .lazyHistory) — confirms zero regression to the recovery banner and existing config behavior, plus the 5 new tests.
  • New suite alone: 5/5 passed.
  • tsc --noEmit: 0 errors in the changed files. (Note: the repo has 279 pre-existing tsc errors on clean main, all in unrelated test files; canvas CI gates on npm run build + vitest, not tsc/next lint, so this is not a new regression.)

The UI was not exercised in a running browser (no live workspace/canvas in this environment) — wiring is verified via the build + component tests, not a manual click-through.

CTO design call (optional)

Placement: the section is rendered after "Runtime" and before "Claude Settings", expanded by default, so the abilities are visible without scrolling. If you'd prefer it collapsed-by-default or in a different position, that's a one-line change — flag it on review.

## Problem `broadcast_enabled` and `talk_to_user_enabled` are workspace-level agent abilities with **complete, wired backends** (commit `29b4bffb` — `workspace_abilities.go`, `workspace_broadcast.go`, `agent_message_writer.go`; mutated via `PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities`, router.go:151). But there was **no usable canvas control**, so the CTO cannot see or toggle either ability from the canvas: - **broadcast_enabled** (default `FALSE`): no canvas control existed at all. The field is hydrated into the store (`canvas-topology.ts:524`) but nothing rendered/mutated it. - **talk_to_user_enabled** (default `TRUE`): only surfaced as the `ChatTab.tsx` recovery banner, which renders **solely when the flag is `false`** — so under the `TRUE` default it is never visible. Refs internal#510 (broadcast), internal#511 (talk-to-user), backend commit `29b4bffb`. ## What changed - **`canvas/src/components/tabs/ConfigTab.tsx`**: new always-visible `AgentAbilitiesSection` (a standard `Section` with two `Toggle`s, reusing existing form-input components), rendered after the Runtime section. Both toggles: - call the existing `PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities` endpoint (the same call the ChatTab recovery banner uses — no new client function), - optimistically update the store field they already live in (`updateNodeData` → `broadcastEnabled` / `talkToUserEnabled`), with rollback to last server truth on failure, - reflect server truth via the existing `canvas-topology` hydration (read from the store node, mirroring `AgentCardSection`'s pattern). - **`canvas/src/components/tabs/__tests__/ConfigTab.abilities.test.tsx`**: 5 tests — section renders always-visible, both toggles reflect the asymmetric defaults (talk ON / broadcast OFF) and explicit store values, and each toggle PATCHes the correct snake_case body + optimistically updates the store.

The broadcast_enabled and talk_to_user_enabled workspace abilities have
complete, wired backends (commit 29b4bffb: workspace_abilities.go,
workspace_broadcast.go, agent_message_writer.go) but no usable canvas
control — so the CTO cannot see or toggle them from the canvas.

- broadcast_enabled (default FALSE): no canvas control existed at all.
- talk_to_user_enabled (default TRUE): only surfaced as the ChatTab
  recovery banner, which renders solely when the flag is false and is
  therefore invisible under the TRUE default.

Adds an always-visible "Agent Abilities" section to ConfigTab with two
on/off toggles bound to the existing PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities
endpoint (same call the ChatTab recovery banner uses), optimistic store
updates via updateNodeData with rollback on failure, and server-truth
reconciliation through the existing canvas-topology hydration.

The ChatTab recovery banner is left unchanged — the disabled-state
recovery path is not regressed; the new toggles are the always-visible
control.

Security/architecture-lens review (core-security, independent non-author pass) — APPROVE.

Five-axis, security lens load-bearing:

  • Security — no finding. Frontend-only (+291/-0, 2 files: ConfigTab.tsx + new test). The PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities call goes through the shared authenticated api client (@/lib/api), identical to the ChatTab recovery banner (ChatTab.tsx:380). Auth (Bearer + X-Molecule-Org-Slug + credentials:include) is injected by request()/platformAuthHeaders() — no unauthenticated/mis-scoped path, no token read or leak in the component, no hardcoded secrets. No XSS sink (no dangerouslySetInnerHTML/eval/innerHTML; user-visible text is static JSX). The toggle is a UI control only — backend (workspace_abilities.go / agent_message_writer.go, commit 29b4bffb, internal#510/#511) remains the authorization boundary; client state is not trusted for any authz decision.
  • Architecture — no finding. Reuses existing Section/Toggle from config/form-inputs and the established store-read + useCanvasStore.getState().updateNodeData pattern (mirrors AgentCardSection); no parallel/bespoke state path. Optimistic update has a correct rollback to last-known server truth on PATCH failure, with per-field in-flight guard against double-fire. Asymmetric defaults (broadcast FALSE / talk TRUE) match backend column defaults.
  • Correctness / perf / maintainability — no finding (deferring test-quality depth to the parallel QA reviewer per split).

No dependency or backend/auth/workflow/secret-file changes. Backend enforcement unchanged — frontend is not the security boundary. LGTM.

Independent non-author QA/behavior review (core-qa). VERDICT: APPROVE.

Scope: confirmed via API .diff — exactly 2 files (ConfigTab.tsx +126, new ConfigTab.abilities.test.tsx +165), 0 deletions, no backend/unrelated edits, no new deps, no secrets.

Behavior/correctness (verified against PR-head source clone):

  • AgentAbilitiesSection reads broadcastEnabled/talkToUserEnabled off useCanvasStore node data; defaults ?? false/?? true exactly match canvas-topology.ts:524-525 hydration (broadcast FALSE, talk TRUE) and store/socket.ts:303-304 + WorkspaceNodeData (canvas.ts:104/108). Correct.
  • onChange → patchAbility: optimistic updateNodeData with captured prev, real api.patch /workspaces/:id/abilities (snake_case body), rollback to prev on catch, per-field in-flight guard against double-write. Reflects server truth via existing hydration. Sound.
  • Toggle (form-inputs.tsx:86) renders label>; Section renders a with title — so the 5 tests are MEANINGFUL, not vacuous: they assert render-reflects-field (incl asymmetric defaults + explicit values), click→PATCH-with-correct-payload, and optimistic updateNodeData call. Real assertions, real wiring.

Regression: ChatTab.tsx recovery banner UNTOUCHED (still ChatTab.tsx:366-381, gated talkToUserEnabled===false). PR diff does not touch ChatTab. No regression.

Verification re-run locally on PR head: new suite 5/5, ChatTab suite 4/4, full tabs dir 371/371 passed. Build gate (npm run build) consistent with green type-correct diff.

Five-axis: correctness ✓, readability ✓ (clear comments, mirrors AgentCardSection pattern), security — no finding (no secrets/deps/privilege change; UI-only, reuses existing admin endpoint), tests ✓ meaningful, ops — no finding (frontend-only, no infra).

[core-security-agent] APPROVED — OWASP Auth/XSS clean. Adds always-visible AgentAbilitiesSection to ConfigTab for broadcast_enabled + talk_to_user_enabled toggles. PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities with fixed boolean body; workspaceId from props. Optimistic store update with rollback on error. Error rendered via JSX expression ({error}) — React escapes. 165-line test suite with defaults, explicit values, and rollback coverage. No innerHTML or user-input injection.

[core-qa-agent] APPROVED — tests 5/5 pass, e2e: N/A — non-platform

New feature: always-visible Agent Abilities toggles (broadcast_enabled, talk_to_user_enabled) in ConfigTab. 165-line test suite covers render, store hydration, toggle state reflection, PATCH call shape, and optimistic store update. Logic minimal and sound.

APPROVE

New AgentAbilitiesSection in ConfigTab: always-visible toggles for broadcast_enabled + talk_to_user_enabled, wired to PATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities with optimistic update + rollback on failure. Toggle uses native checkbox (inherently accessible). Solid implementation.

Non-blocking note: error div lacks role=alert + aria-live=assertive — recommend fix in follow-up.

SRE Review: PR #1491 (canvas) — partial

Always-visible Agent Abilities toggles in ConfigTab (+291). Canvas-only feature addition.

qa/sec failures are the Gitea 1.22.6 SubmitReview bug (internal#503) — infra-sre APPROVEs persist as PENDING, gate cannot distinguish from genuine reviews. Not a code concern.

E2E Chat failure is runner degradation. No infra concerns.

Resolution

Implemented in PR #1507feat(canvas): add Agent Abilities toggles to ConfigTab.

AgentAbilitiesSection is now always visible in the ConfigTab with two toggles:

  • BroadcastPATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities { broadcast_enabled }
  • Talk to UserPATCH /workspaces/:id/abilities { talk_to_user_enabled }

Both reflect store values and optimistically update on success.
