Stack 2 of 4 — based on the one-agent PR. Nothing starts the planner → hypotheses → validator workflow after that change, so this removes it.

Removed

  • The Workflow class and its run body, the three agent passes and their prompts, the submit tools, plan normalisation, the hypothesis catalogue, the fan-out domain contract, the cross-script workflow bindings on api and alerting, and the lens-model resolver with its env keys.
  • The chat agent's explore sub-agent and the delegation tools. The agent that gathers the evidence is the agent that acts on it, and the same rule applies to a chat turn.

Kept

  • The stored shapes (InvestigationPlanRecord, InvestigationHypothesis, the lens-run types) so rows written by the fan-out still decode until the schema PR drops the columns.
  • Transcript folding of task events, because old sessions carry them.
  • durableStep, which the ClickHouse schema-apply workflow uses.

The diagnosis evals move under chat/__evals__ and keep only the concluding half. Docs (CLAUDE.md, docs/infra.md, docs/error-issue-lifecycle.md, docs/openrouter-tracing.md) updated.

Verified

Scoped typechecks on packages/domain, packages/backend, apps/ai, apps/api, apps/alerting; vitest across the chat, platform, eval-scorer and runtime-boundary tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Investigations now run as a single evidence-gathering agent turn, reducing handoffs and preserving context.
    • Incomplete or model-error investigations receive one close-out attempt to finalize the result.
    • Investigations without a diagnosis are clearly marked as failed with a “no diagnosis” outcome.
    • Autonomous investigations now run through the chat session runtime.
  • Documentation

    • Updated investigation lifecycle and infrastructure documentation to reflect the streamlined process.

Nothing started the planner → hypotheses → validator workflow after the
previous change, so this removes it: the Workflow class and its run
body, the three agent passes and their prompts, the submit tools, plan
normalisation, the hypothesis catalogue, the fan-out domain contract,
the cross-script workflow bindings on api and alerting, and the
lens-model resolver and its env keys. The chat agent's `explore`
sub-agent and the delegation tools go with it: the agent that gathers
the evidence is the agent that acts on it, and the same rule applies to
a chat turn.

What stays: the stored shapes (`InvestigationPlanRecord`,
`InvestigationHypothesis`, the lens-run types) so rows written by the
fan-out still decode until the next change drops the columns; the
transcript folding of `task` events, because old sessions carry them;
and `durableStep`, which the ClickHouse schema-apply workflow uses.

The diagnosis evals move under `chat/__evals__` and keep only the
concluding half: given an incident where nothing is checkable, does
the investigator say so with what it checked. The planning half scored
a stage that no longer exists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The investigation system now uses one chat-agent turn instead of planner, hypothesis, and validator fan-out. The fan-out workflow, delegation machinery, related domain contracts, bindings, model paths, tests, and documentation were removed or updated.

Changes

Single-agent investigation flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Single-agent chat flow
CLAUDE.md, apps/ai/src/chat/..., apps/ai/src/chat/__evals__/*
Agent definitions now contain only direct prompts and permissions. Delegation, planning evaluations, and sub-agent tests were removed. Investigation prompts support diagnosis submission and close-out turns.
Retired fan-out workflow and contracts
apps/ai/src/workflows/*, packages/domain/src/investigation-fanout*, packages/domain/src/http/investigations.ts, packages/domain/package.json
The fan-out workflow, planner, hypothesis agents, validator, submit tools, related tests, fan-out binding, and obsolete candidate and validator schemas were removed.
Runtime and model wiring
apps/ai/src/platform/*, apps/ai/src/runtime/*, apps/ai/src/worker.ts, apps/api/src/worker.ts
Workflow initialization and bindings were removed. LLM tags and resolution now use the chat and triage paths described by the remaining runtime.
Lifecycle and infrastructure documentation
docs/*, apps/ai/src/mcp/*
Documentation now describes one-turn investigations, close-out behavior, the remaining workflow surfaces, and updated tracing names.

The implementation is operationally ready, but tracing and lifecycle documentation can misdirect local testing, trace investigation, and quota expectations. Update these references before relying on the documentation.

Clarify close-out pass accounting.

maxPassesPerDay counts one pass for the investigation row. The additional CLOSE_OUT_PROMPT turn is metered by meterTurn, but it does not consume another pass quota unit. State this distinction in the close-out description.

Update the remaining LLM source references.

This table identifies apps/ai/src/platform/Llm.ts as the OpenRouter client. Lines 35 and 116 still point to apps/api/src/platform/Llm.ts, including the local test command. Update those references to the AI Worker path so the documentation names one implementation and one test location.

Update the obsolete trace query example.

The documented trace names are now chat and slack, but line 103 filters for ai-triage. That query returns no current chat traces. Replace it with chat, and update the legacy session-id example on line 104 to the investigation session format documented above.
