🎯 ci: Retarget Pull Requests Opened Against main to dev (#15416)
* 🎯 ci: Retarget Pull Requests Opened Against `main` to `dev`

Contributions land on `dev`; `main` only moves at release time. With `main` as
the repository's default branch, pull requests default to it, and the mismatch
has been resolved by hand at merge time.

Adds a `pull_request_target` hook that switches a newly opened or reopened pull
request's base from `main` to `dev` and posts a one-time explanation, plus a
manual `workflow_dispatch` sweep (dry-run by default) for the existing backlog.

Release-bound upstream branches keep `main` as their base: `dev`, `release/*`,
`hotfix/*`, `backport/*` and `*-main`. The `target: main` label exempts any
pull request. The exemptions apply only to branches on this repository, so a
fork branch that happens to match one of those names is still retargeted.

The job checks out the trusted base commit rather than the pull request head,
so the write-scoped token never runs contributor code.

`pull_request_target` reads its workflow definition from the base branch, so
this must exist on `main` to take effect.

* 📝 docs: Record the `dev`-First Branch Policy for Agents

`CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` never stated which branch work targets, and the
default branch is `main` — so `gh pr create` and the GitHub UI point at `main`
unless told otherwise, and an agent following the defaults gets it wrong.

States the policy, the reason a backport to `main` is never needed (`main` is
kept as a strict ancestor of `dev`), and the exemptions the retarget workflow
honors.

* 📐 docs: Record Typecheck, Formatting and Issue-Closing Gotchas for Agents

Four repeat cycle-wasters that neither file stated, each verified against the
current tree:

- `tsdown` emits without typechecking, so `npm run build` proves nothing about
  types in `packages/api`, `packages/client` or `packages/data-schemas`; only
  `packages/data-provider` runs `tsc` in its build.
- `packages/client/tsconfig.json` excludes `*.spec.ts(x)` and `*.test.ts(x)`,
  so type errors in its specs surface only at run time.
- `npm run sort-imports` with no arguments rewrites all six source roots.
- `Fixes #N` never closes an issue here, because closing keywords are honored
  only on merges into the default branch and everything merges to `dev`.

Also notes that worktrees share one stash stack, and points at
`npm run static-checks -- --against origin/dev` as the local mirror of CI.

* 🔁 fix: Address Codex Review on the Retarget Workflow

- **Backport branches are no longer exempt.** Exempting `backport/*` and
  `*-main` contradicted the invariant the policy rests on: `main` is a
  fast-forward of `dev`, so a backport merged straight to `main` is precisely
  what breaks it. `target: main` remains the deliberate, explicit escape hatch;
  `dev`, `release/*` and `hotfix/*` stay exempt as release-bound branches.
- **`npm run update` does not sync `dev`.** `config/update.js` hard-codes
  `git checkout main` and `git pull origin main` — it is the self-host
  deployment updater, not a branch-sync tool. Telling contributors to refresh
  `dev` with it would have branched them off `main` and recreated the very
  flow this change exists to prevent. Replaced with the explicit git commands.
- **A dry run no longer reports work it did not do.** The summary said
  "Retargeted N" on a dispatch that wrote nothing, which could read as a
  completed sweep.
- **A failed explanation comment is recorded, not swallowed.** The base edit
  has already landed at that point, so a later run would skip the pull request
  and the contributor would never receive the note. It now counts, fails the
  run, and names the retry: `EXPLAIN_MISSING=true`, which posts a missing
  explanation onto an already-retargeted pull request.
- **The sweep paginates.** `gh pr list --limit 500` is a cap, not a page size,
  and would have silently ignored the remainder while reporting success.

Verified against the stubbed `gh` boundary: `*-main` now retargets, the dry run
performs zero writes and says so, a failing comment yields a non-zero exit, and
`EXPLAIN_MISSING` posts onto a pull request already based on `dev`. The
paginated query returns all 258 open pull requests based on `main`.

* 🧷 fix: Address the Second Codex Round on the Retarget Workflow

- **`already_explained` now separates "lookup failed" from "no marker".** A
  transient comments-API failure returned the same status as a clean miss, so
  the run would post a second explanation and report success — defeating the
  deduplication it exists for. A failed read now declines to post and is
  recorded.
- **`CONTRIBUTING.md` syncs from the canonical remote.** The previous fix
  pulled `dev` from `origin`, which in the fork-based flow described two
  sections later is the contributor's own fork — so it would fail outright or
  silently sync a stale branch, landing them on the wrong base again.
- **The hook retries on `synchronize`.** If the `opened` run failed before
  `gh pr edit` landed, nothing retried and the pull request stayed on `main`.
  A retargeted pull request no longer matches `branches: [main]`, so this adds
  no redundant runs — and the existing backlog now drains on contributor
  activity rather than only by sweep.
- **Sweeps serialize against each other** via a shared concurrency group, while
  the hook stays keyed per pull request. Deliberately not one global group:
  GitHub keeps a single pending job per group, so a burst of openings would
  cancel queued retargets — trading a rare duplicate comment for dropped
  retargets is the wrong way round.
- **`main` is an ancestor of `dev`, not a strict one.** Right after a sync the
  two refs are equal, which the previous wording described as a violated
  invariant.

Verified: a failing comments lookup edits the base but posts nothing and exits
non-zero.

🚀 What's New in v0.8.8-rc1

  • Agent run control: Interrupt or steer an Agent mid-run, queue follow-up messages, and reclaim, edit, or escalate pending steers.
  • Human-in-the-loop Agents: Agents stream question progress, ask up to four related questions in one form, pause for input or tool approval, and resume.
  • Unified Agent Builder: A redesigned Tools marketplace brings together Skills, MCP, Code Interpreter, orchestration, Programmatic Tool Calling, model-spec controls, and per-tool background and intent settings.
  • Readable Agent activity: Generated activity-group headers, parent phase summaries, and live tool intent labels make long reasoning and tool runs easier to scan.
  • Code Interpreter workflows: Code and shell tools can run in the background, sandbox images return as viewable artifacts, and highly experimental stateful sessions can reuse prewarmed conversation workspaces.
  • Agent extensibility: Experimental Agent Plugins can bundle deployment Skills, MCP servers, and opt-in command hooks, while explicit subagents initialize only when selected.
  • Memory, context, and identity: Agents can manage memory with optional per-agent isolation, expose support contacts safely, and show a more faithful Context Usage gauge.
  • Sharing and files: Shared conversations show a badge and update at a stable URL, while signed-in viewers can continue them as personal copies.
  • Artifact workflows: Open previews fullscreen, work with PowerPoint .potx templates across upload, search, and code execution, upload shell scripts across common MIME variants, export Mermaid diagrams as SVG or PNG, and download original Office files from the artifact panel.
  • Models and reasoning: Added GPT-5.6 with Responses API reasoning controls, Claude Opus 5 and Sonnet 5, Gemini 3.7 and 3.6 Flash, and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite.
  • Langfuse observability: Configure encrypted Langfuse connections in-app, let authorized admins open sampled sessions directly, optionally fan out traces by tenant, and suppress central export per run.
  • Administration and security: Delegate config sections, encrypt registered secrets, enforce SSRF checks for speech, OCR, and web tools, and generate unique temporary credentials when secrets are blank.
  • Messages and navigation: Right-aligned user turns, unified multi-part editing, full-message copy, a dock-style message rail, virtualized search, smooth streaming, and faster Agent startup.
  • Streaming and tool reliability: Adaptive provider smoothing, Redis delta batching, dynamic MCP tool refresh, parsed MCP response media types, runtime OAuth recovery, and Agent stream circuit breakers improve long-running workflows.
  • Deployment and reliability: Added configurable HTTP timeouts, Amazon DocumentDB 5.0+ support, low-noise Redis and browser observability, and a rolling-upgrade-safe generation protocol.
