# TCAS hook: pre-merge deconfliction (slice b, design)

Status: design only. Nothing in this document is implemented. Slice (a), the live view and the advisory feed it reads, shipped in `VIEW-CONTRACT.md`.

## Goal

Stop two agents from finishing overlapping edits and meeting at the merge. The scan already knows when two working sets converge; the hook is what turns that knowledge into a maneuver inside the harness, before either agent commits.

Push plan wording: "a PreToolUse/Edit hook that reads the advisory feed and returns steer, pause or wait for the lower-priority agent, logged to the capsule."

## Inputs

1. The event feed: `GET /api/control-plane/events` on the local control pane, or the same document written to a file by `scripts/proximity-tick.js --json` for sessions without a pane. Events of kind `proximity.advisory` with `action.type` `transmit` or `steer` and a deterministic `id`.
2. The hook's own session id. Claude Code passes `session_id` on stdin; the ECC session adapter maps it to the ECC2 `sessions.id` the scan uses. Codex and Hermes use the instruction-backed equivalent (see below).
3. The tool call: `tool_name` and `tool_input.file_path` for Edit, Write and MultiEdit. Bash is out of scope for v1.

## Decision

For each advisory event whose `subject` includes this session:

| Event | This session is | Maneuver | Hook result |
|---|---|---|---|
| `traffic`, action `transmit` | either side | **transmit**: inject the other agent's working set as a system message | exit 0, message on stderr (warn, never block) |
| `resolution`, action `steer` | `hold` | **hold**: continue | exit 0, short note |
| `resolution`, action `steer` | `steer`, and `file_path` is in the other agent's working set | **pause**: stop editing that file until the other agent's diff lands | exit 2 with the reason (blocks this one tool call) |

Define a canonical repository-relative path identity before the membership check.

Working-set entries come from Git as repository-relative paths, while tool_input.file_path may use another representation. The existing path normalizer does not resolve absolute paths or ./.. segments. Define separator, root, symlink, and case rules, then test equivalent paths. Otherwise, a shared file may be treated as disjoint and return wait instead of pause.

| `resolution`, action `steer` | `steer`, and `file_path` is not in the other agent's working set | **wait**: allowed, but told to keep to non-overlapping files | exit 0, message on stderr |
| `resolution`, action `steer` | `steer`, and a `steer` target exists | **steer**: suggest the disjoint files or subtree the agent should move to | exit 0, message; exit 2 only if the edit is on the shared file |

The maneuver is deterministic: both agents read the same event, `hold` and `steer` are named in it, so the two sides never pick the same move. This is the TCAS coordination property and it is why the view computes right-of-way once, centrally, rather than each hook deciding.

`pause` blocks a single tool call, not the session. The agent sees the reason and can pick another file. Blocking is bounded by the event's `at`: an event older than the pane's poll interval times three is stale and the hook does not block on it.

Add an explicit stale window for the file-backed feed. The documented no-pane path writes scripts/proximity-tick.js --json, which has no event envelope, per-event at, or poll interval. The hook therefore cannot compute poll interval × 3 or reliably reject stale events in this mode. Include staleAfterMs in the feed or hook configuration, and apply it to each event timestamp.

## Priority

Right-of-way comes from the event (`action.hold`, `action.steer`). The view computes it as more progress, then earlier start, then stable id (`rightOfWay` in `scripts/lib/agent-proximity/distance.js`). The hook never recomputes it.

## Logging to the capsule

Every decision is one entry in the session's capsule journal (`scripts/lib/eval-harness/capsule.js`, hash-linked NDJSON):

```json

"kind": "tcas.decision",
"event_id": "proximity.advisory:session-a|session-b:resolution",

Document the actual capsule envelope.

capsule.append() creates and validates fields such as schema, lineage, seq, parent_hash, payload, and entry_hash. The example omits these fields and places decision data at the top level. An implementation that follows this example cannot produce a valid capsule entry or preserve replay and hash-chain behavior. Show the decision fields as the capsule payload and define the required lineage and effect class.

The capsule is the baseline counter for the 85 percent goal: rebase and merge-conflict triage incidents per week are counted from these entries plus `git rerere` and conflict markers, two weeks before and two weeks after the hook is on. No percentage is claimed before that.

## Where it plugs in

- **Claude Code**: a `PreToolUse` entry in `hooks/hooks.json` with matcher `Edit|Write|MultiEdit`, routed through `scripts/hooks/run-with-flags.js` so `ECC_HOOK_PROFILE` and `ECC_DISABLED_HOOKS` gate it. Script under `scripts/hooks/tcas-pre-edit.js`, helpers in `scripts/lib/control-pane/tcas.js`. Budget: under 200 ms, no network beyond loopback, exit 0 on any parse or fetch error.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Define enforceable deadlines for the complete hook path.

The documented path includes both event-feed I/O and capsule.append(). capsule.append() performs synchronous lock-file access, journal I/O, and fs.fsyncSync() without operation or total timeouts. Existing fail-open handling covers errors, not stalls; the 200 ms budget is not enforced. Specify connect/read, journal, and total deadlines, and require timeout handling to abort and exit 0.

- **Codex**: no PreToolUse. The instruction-backed equivalent is the `proximity_steer` / `proximity_hold` message the tick already writes into the ECC2 `messages` table, surfaced on the next turn. `pause` degrades to a strong instruction.
- **Hermes**: gateway hook on the tool-call path, same decision table, same capsule entry.

## Off switch and safety

- Disabled by default. On with `ECC_TCAS_HOOK=1` or the hook profile.
- Read-only against the pane. It never writes to the sessions or messages tables.
- No lease is acquired. Durable leases are slice (c), the worktree lease table in ecc2 `session/store.rs` next to `messages`; until then a `pause` is a per-call block, not a lock, and two hooks racing on the same file is possible but harmless (both see the same event and the same `steer`).
- Fails open. Any error is exit 0 with a `[TCAS]` line on stderr.

Separate feed failures from journal failures.

The document requires every decision to produce a capsule entry, but it also makes every error fail open. If journaling fails, the hook proceeds without an entry and the 85 percent baseline becomes incomplete. Define separate handling for feed errors and journal errors. Record audit loss explicitly or make the journal failure visible to the measurement process.

## Tests to write with it

- Decision table: one test per row above, driven by a fixture event feed and a stdin payload.
- Staleness: an event older than the window does not block.
- Fail-open: unreachable pane, malformed JSON, missing session id.
- Capsule: one entry per decision, hash chain intact, replay reproduces the same bytes.
- Integration: two fake sessions with overlapping working sets, the lower-priority one gets exit 2 on the shared file and exit 0 on a disjoint file.

## Out of scope for (b)

Learned thresholds, closure-rate escalation, mesh mode, cross-machine airspace, the `x_sem`, `x_vec`, `x_freq` channels (slice g), and the lease table (slice c).

# ECC control-plane live view: `ecc.control-plane.view.v1`

Status: shipped with the control pane (`scripts/lib/control-pane/control-plane-view.js`). Read-only. Advisory only.

The view joins three things the repo already computes separately and serves them as one JSON document shaped as tasks, lanes and events, so another control plane (the Ito ops board, a Hermes or Codex reader, a hook) can consume it without knowing ECC internals.

| Input | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Sessions | `scripts/lib/control-pane/state.js`, the ECC2 `sessions` table |
| Pairwise proximity | `scripts/lib/agent-proximity/` (noisy-OR over `x_tree`, `x_overlap`, `x_dep`) via `scripts/lib/control-pane/proximity.js` |
| 2D projection | `scripts/lib/agent-proximity/projection.js` (rolling z-score, tails clipped at 2.5 / 97.5, PCA) |
| Coordination inventory | `scripts/lib/coordination-inventory.js` (PR #3028): declared tasks and sessions, heartbeat freshness, lease conflicts |

## Endpoints

Served by `node scripts/control-pane.js` (loopback only, same Host and Origin gate as the rest of the pane):

| Route | Returns |
|---|---|
| `GET /control-plane` | Self-contained HTML page: 2D projection canvas, lanes and tasks, event feed. No external scripts. |
| `GET /api/control-plane` | The full view document below. |
| `GET /api/control-plane/events` | `{ schemaVersion, generatedAt, thresholds, events, counts }` only, for hooks and pollers. |

The server keeps one projection window per process. Both API routes share a snapshot cached for five seconds, and concurrent refresh requests are coalesced. Reads within that interval do not add samples. After expiry, the next read refreshes the snapshot once; idle intervals do not generate synthetic samples. Failed refreshes return errors rather than healthy empty data. The page rejects failed HTTP responses and invalid view envelopes and shows `offline`. Options on `createControlPaneServer`: `projection` (`windowSize`, `clipPercentiles`), `viewOptions` (`thresholds`, `manifest`, `channelWeights`, `minWindowForZscore`), `proximityOptions` (passed to the scan).

## Document

"schemaVersion": "ecc.control-plane.view.v1",
"generatedAt": "2026-09-11T20:01:00.000Z",
"source": { "snapshotSchema": "ecc.control-pane.snapshot.v1", "repoRoot": "...", "dbPath": "..." },

"counts": { "lanes": 1, "tasks": 1, "agents": 1, "pairs": 0, "events": 0, "advisories": 0, "resolutions": 0 },
"limits": [ "..." ]
}
```

### Task

One task per session. A session with no changed files is still a task; it has no projection point and no pairs.

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `id` | Session id, unchanged. |
| `lane` | Lane id this task belongs to. |
| `label` | Session task text, or the id. |
| `harness`, `agentType`, `state`, `pid` | From the session row. |
| `worktree` | `{ path, branch, base }` or `null`. |
| `heartbeatAt`, `updatedAt` | ISO timestamps or `null`. |
| `workingSet` | `{ fileCount, files }`: the worktree diff against its base. |
| `projection` | `{ point, pairs, maxRisk }` where `point` is `[x, y]` or `null`. `point` is the risk-weighted centroid of the task's pair points in PCA space. |
| `inventory` | `{ id, heartbeat, process, authority: "declared-only" }`. `id` is the sanitized identifier used in the inventory manifest; `heartbeat` and `process` are the #3028 observations. |

### Lane

A grouping of tasks. Precedence: `task-group` (session `task_group`), then `project`, then `harness`. Ids are prefixed (`group:`, `project:`, `harness:`) so a consumer can tell the kinds apart without reading `kind`.

### Pair

One row per agent pair from the airspace scan (only sessions with edits participate).

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `a`, `b` | Session ids. |
| `risk`, `level` | Noisy-OR risk and the scan's level (`clear`, `advisory`, `resolution`) at the scan's thresholds. |
| `channels` | Raw `{ x_tree, x_overlap, x_dep }` in [0, 1]. |
| `normalized` | The same after z-score, clip and map-back, or equal to `channels` while the window is cold. |
| `point` | `[pc1, pc2]` PCA scores. |

### Event

Something an operator or a hook may act on. Ids are deterministic across polls so a consumer can dedupe.

```json
{
"id": "proximity.advisory:session-a|session-b:resolution",
"kind": "proximity.advisory",
"level": "resolution",
"severity": "critical",
"at": "2026-09-11T20:01:00.000Z",
"subject": { "a": "session-a", "b": "session-b", "aLabel": "...", "bLabel": "..." },
"risk": 1,
"distance": 0,
"channels": { "x_tree": 1, "x_overlap": 1, "x_dep": 0 },
"threshold": { "ta": 0.35, "ra": 0.7, "crossed": "ra", "source": "static" },
"action": { "type": "steer", "steer": "session-b", "hold": "session-a" },
"message": "Resolution advisory: session-b steers, session-a holds (risk 100%, static threshold 0.7)."
}
```

| Kind | Levels | Action types | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| `proximity.advisory` | `traffic` (risk at or above `ta`), `resolution` (at or above `ra`) | `transmit` (both agents share intent), `steer` (`steer` moves, `hold` keeps course) | Every pair link, evaluated against the view's thresholds. Right-of-way: more progress, then earlier start, then stable id. |
| `inventory.lease-conflict` | `conflict` | `review` | #3028 `leaseConflicts`. Declared-only, never a lock. |

Thresholds are static per view (`source: "static"`). A learned threshold, closure-rate escalation, and the `pause` and `wait` maneuvers are slice (b), see `TCAS-HOOK.md`.

### Projection

```json
{
"method": "pca",
"channels": ["x_tree", "x_overlap", "x_dep"],
"weights": { "x_tree": 0.25, "x_overlap": 1, "x_dep": 0.9 },
"normalization": "zscore-clipped",
"window": { "samples": 12, "percentiles": [2.5, 97.5], "channels": [ { "channel": "x_tree", "mean": 0.39, "stddev": 0.42, "clipLow": -0.92, "clipHigh": 1.45 } ] },
"pca": { "loadings": [ { "x_tree": 0.12, "x_overlap": 0.87, "x_dep": -0.47 }, { "...": "..." } ], "explainedVariance": [0.6, 0.39] },
"agents": [ { "agentId": "session-a", "point": [0.18, 0.41], "pairs": 3, "maxRisk": 1 } ]
}
```

Pipeline per poll: every pair's channel vector is pushed into a rolling window (default 512 samples). Once the window holds at least 8 samples, each channel is z-scored against the window, clipped to the window's 2.5th and 97.5th percentile (in z units), mapped back to [0, 1], multiplied by the static channel weight, and the weighted matrix goes through PCA (Jacobi on the 3x3 covariance). Below 8 samples the raw channel values are used and `normalization` says `raw`. A channel with zero variance maps to 0.5. Degenerate inputs (fewer than two pairs, zero total variance) give zero scores, never NaN.

The projection is a display. It never changes `risk`, the advisory level, or right-of-way.

### Inventory

The #3028 report with the per-task rows folded into `tasks[].inventory`. Kept at the top level: `status` (`ok` or `unavailable` with `reason`), `truncated` (more than 64 sessions), `observedAt`, `mode: "read-only"`, `activity`, `leaseConflicts`, `warnings`, `coverage`, `limits`. The manifest is built from the live sessions (ids sanitized to the inventory alphabet, paths from the working set, heartbeat from the session row, declared session status `open` for running/pending/idle, `closed` for completed/failed/stopped). An external manifest (`viewOptions.manifest`) can add `goals`, `leases`, `repositories` and extra `tasks`; the inventory then reports lease conflicts and goal activity for them.

## Reuse in the Ito ops control plane

The shape to copy is `task`, `lane`, `event`:

- a **task** has an `id`, a `lane`, a `state`, an optional position, and an observation block whose `authority` says how much to trust it;
- a **lane** is a named group with ordered `taskIds`;
- an **event** has a stable `id`, a `kind`, a `level`, a `severity`, an `at`, a `subject`, an `action` with a `type`, and a human `message`.

Nothing in the shape is ECC-specific except the event kinds. An ops board that renders lanes of tasks and a feed of events can render this document as-is, and can emit its own kinds (`deal.stalled`, `bridge.down`) into the same feed.

## What this does not do

- No leases are acquired, no agent is paused or steered. Consumers act; the view reports.
- No conflict-reduction percentage is claimed. The 85 percent goal in the push plan is measured two weeks before and after slice (b), not here.
- No semantic, call-graph or frequency channel yet (slice (g)). PCA picks new channels up automatically when they land in the scan.

Use one time sample for both priority calculations.

agentPriority calls Date.now() independently. If both agents have equal progress and equal startedAt values, a millisecond boundary between these calls gives the second agent a greater age. The code then bypasses the stable agentId tiebreak.

Capture one timestamp and pass it to both calculations, or compare parsed start timestamps directly. Add a regression test for equal progress and equal start times.
