docs: record v0.2.60 production acceptance [skip ci]

- nexus_create_task: Fassade → bridge.CreateTaskAsync()
- nexus_create_child_task: Fassade → bridge.CreateChildTaskAsync()
- nexus_update_status: Enum-validiert via NexusMcpTaskState (0-4)
  MCP SDK lehnt ungültige Integer-Werte vor Tool-Aufruf ab
  ToStateString() hat exhaustiven Switch + InvalidEnumArgumentException-Fallback
  Bridge erzwingt CanChangeState-Autorisierung (nur iris/bao/nexus-system)
- nexus_append_activity: Fassade → bridge.AppendActivityAsync()
- nexus_handoff: Fassade → bridge.HandoffAsync()

Neue NexusMcpTaskStateHelper.IsDefined() für testbare State-Validierung.
Alle 5 Tools via [McpServerTool] auf McpServerToolType-Klasse registriert.
Keine Businesslogik-Duplizierung — volle Delegation an ITaskBridgeService.
Build: 0w 0e.

+# Nexus Agent Guide
+
+## Scope
+
+These rules apply to the whole Nexus repository. Keep this file concise and
+update it when the build, architecture, or review workflow materially changes.
+
+## Product and architecture
+
+- Nexus is the Noveria operations platform. OpenClaw is integrated through the
+  backend runtime and bridge abstractions; frontend code must not depend on
+  OpenClaw internals.
+- `frontend/` is a Vue 3, TypeScript, Pinia, Vue Router, Vite, and Tailwind 4
+  application.
+- `backend/` is an ASP.NET Core 10 API using Entity Framework Core and
+  PostgreSQL.
+- `backend-tests/` contains the backend test project.
+- `frontend/src/api/` owns HTTP contracts, `frontend/src/stores/` owns client
+  state, and views/components should not duplicate transport logic.
+- Backend changes should preserve the controller -> service -> repository
+  boundaries and keep task mutations behind `ITaskBridgeService` where
+  applicable.
+
+## Required local checks
+
+Frontend:
+
+```powershell
+Set-Location frontend
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+pnpm test
+pnpm build
+```
+
+Backend (requires .NET SDK 10):
+
+```powershell
+dotnet test backend-tests/Nexus.Api.Tests.csproj --configuration Release
+```
+
+Use the versions in CI as the compatibility baseline: .NET 10, Node.js 24, and
+pnpm 10.12.1. Do not silently downgrade target frameworks to match an older
+local SDK.
+
+## Security and review rules
+
+- Default API access to authenticated users or authenticated services. Public
+  endpoints must be explicitly marked and justified.
+- Never treat a caller-controlled identity header as proof of authentication
+  unless a trusted proxy removes and re-establishes it after authenticating the
+  caller.

+## Product target
+
+Nexus is the primary daily control plane for agents, tasks, runs, approvals,
+tools, schedules, knowledge and operational recovery. All agent and model
+execution travels through OpenClaw; OpenAI is the intended primary provider
+configured inside OpenClaw. Nexus does not call OpenAI directly. The browser
+and Nexus domain model stay independent of gateway and provider internals.
+
+The binding product and architecture direction is documented in
+[Agent-First Mission Control](docs/AGENT_FIRST_MISSION_CONTROL.md); the ordered
+feature plan is the [Mission Control Roadmap](docs/MISSION_CONTROL_ROADMAP.md).

+derives the initial display name from that email, and hashes the explicitly configured
+`BOOTSTRAP_OWNER_PASSWORD`. Bootstrap credentials are never written to application logs.
 After first seed the password lives only in PostgreSQL. Existing databases are
 never overwritten by the bootstrap process.
 
 The API is exposed via Traefik reverse-proxy with automatic Let's Encrypt TLS.
 Health checks, rate limiting, and security headers are active.
 
-## Workspace mounts
+## OpenClaw runtime data
 
-The API container mounts agent workspaces from the host for file browsing
-and the config editor. These are mounted under `/mnt/workspace-{agentId}`:
+OpenClaw remains authoritative for its agents, bootstrap files, arbitrary
+workspace files, configuration and cron jobs. Nexus does not copy this state
+into a competing configuration:
 
-| Host path | Container mount |
-|---|---|
-| `/home/projekte_bao/openclaw/data/openclaw/workspace-iris` | `/mnt/workspace-iris` |
-| `/home/projekte_bao/openclaw/data/openclaw/workspace-programmer` | `/mnt/workspace-programmer` |
-| `/home/projekte_bao/openclaw/data/openclaw/workspace-reviewer` | `/mnt/workspace-reviewer` |
-| `/home/projekte_bao/openclaw/data/openclaw/workspace-architekt` | `/mnt/workspace-architekt` |
-| `/home/projekte_bao/openclaw/data/openclaw/workspace-researcher` | `/mnt/workspace-researcher` |
-| `/home/projekte_bao/openclaw/data/openclaw/workspace-executor` | `/mnt/workspace-executor` |
+- agent inventory comes from `agents.list`;
+- supported bootstrap files are read and written through
+  `agents.files.list/get/set`;
+- additional workspace files are browsed read-only through
+  `agents.workspace.list/get`; and
+- OpenClaw configuration is read and patched through
+  `config.schema.lookup`, `config.get` and `config.patch`.
+
+Agent inventory and configuration therefore do not depend on a
+`/mnt/workspace-{agentId}` naming convention. The owner-only Nexus
+Memory/Docs/Incidents read surfaces also resolve their live content through
+OpenClaw RPC. Their DTOs retain the source agent and safe workspace path so the
+UI can show provenance without mounting or inferring a host workspace.

-### New dashboard (Phase 2)
+### Live orchestration dashboard
 
-The dashboard was redesigned with a three-column layout:
+The dashboard prioritizes the live agent topology:
 
-- **IrisPanel** — Agent avatar/greeting, metrics counters (open tasks, blocked,
-  overdue, today), AI suggestions, quick action buttons, and an inline chat box.
-- **OperationsFeed** — Searchable/filterable activity feed with colour-coded
-  status dots and yesterday/today/week grouping.
-- **AgendaPanel** — Daily agenda with checkable items persisted in
-  `localStorage` under key `nexus-agenda-done`. Items are sectioned into
-  "Heute", "Morgen", and "Überfällig".
-- **ActiveInitiatives** — Project initiative cards with progress bars, status
-  badges (healthy/attention/blocked/paused/completed), and last activity timestamps.
-- **RecentlyFinished** — Horizontally scrollable chip list of recently completed items.
+- **AlertBar** — compact active/planning/idle, usage and blocker status.
+- **FlowCanvas** — agent topology, selection, layout reset and model controls.
+- **TaskStrip** — compact focus tasks linked to the task workflow.
+- **IrisChat** — hidden by default and opened from the topbar as a modal.
+- **AgentDetailModal** — live summary, activity and model selection.
+
+### Global agent-first controls
+
+- `Ctrl/Cmd+K` opens a real command palette on every authenticated route.
+- The palette navigates to core surfaces and loaded projects, tasks, agents and
+  sessions. From a task, project or agent it can prefill a correlated durable
+  run.
+- “Ask Iris” sends only bounded route, surface, object-type and object-id
+  context. The backend labels this caller-provided context as untrusted
+  metadata before placing it ahead of the user's message.
+- Command and Iris dialogs are mutually exclusive and support keyboard
+  selection, dismissal and focus restoration.
+- Mission-control mutations publish one shared result tray with status,
+  revision, trace metadata and links to their primary and affected entities.
+  Task, OpenClaw runtime, cron, approval, config, agent-file, project,
+  notification and activity links select the addressed result on the target
+  surface instead of only opening its index route.

+tool, approval, artifact and other Gateway events from the bounded connector
+buffer. It accepts `Last-Event-ID`, emits heartbeat and replay-gap events and
+redacts projected payloads. It remains a backend adapter during migration; the
+frontend does not consume raw or projected OpenClaw payloads directly.
+
+The OpenClaw stream above remains the sanitized Runtime projection. Nexus-owned
+workflow changes additionally use `GET /api/v1/events?afterSequence=`. This
+authenticated stream replays the PostgreSQL outbox by global sequence and
+emits content-minimized task, project, proposal, run, activity and notification
+deltas. A cursor older than the retained range returns `resync_required`;
+clients then refresh only affected Query domains. The frontend never consumes
+raw OpenClaw event payloads.
+
+### Agent proposal and provisioning boundary
+
+Manual creation and Iris both create the same durable proposal:
+
+```text
+local form draft -> awaiting_approval -> provisioning
+                                      -> ready | partial | failed | in_doubt
+                 -> rejected
+```
+
+Iris has only `nexus_propose_agent` and `nexus_get_agent_proposal`; neither can
+approve or mutate OpenClaw. After explicit owner approval, the worker rechecks
+local management consent, the official external Client ID, endpoint/TLS trust,
+advertised capability, `operator.admin`, proposal revision and idempotency. It
+derives the workspace from server-side OpenClaw configuration, calls
+`agents.create` at most once, reads the inventory back and only then writes and
+verifies approved standard files. A timeout after possible dispatch becomes
+`in_doubt`; a later retry first reconciles `agents.list`. Post-create file
+failure becomes `partial` and never triggers an automatic agent deletion.
+
+Production provisioning remains disabled while the pinned OpenClaw version
+lacks an officially supported external Nexus or generic operator identity.
+
+Durable runs are stored in PostgreSQL before dispatch together with their
+transition history. They correlate OpenClaw run/session ids with optional
+Nexus task and project ids, actor, correlation id and trace context. Start,
+stop and retry are implemented. Same-run resume is deliberately disabled
+because the pinned Gateway contract does not currently advertise such an RPC.
+
+Nexus does not impersonate OpenClaw's reserved `gateway-client/backend`
+identity. Production attachment remains blocked until the pinned OpenClaw
+release officially supports the external `nexus` client id or another approved
+generic external-operator identity. Once that contract exists, remote or
+container-to-host operation uses Nexus' persisted Ed25519 identity and signed
+challenge response. The exact `PAIRING_REQUIRED` request id is surfaced to the
+owner; a resulting device token stays bound server-side to the normalized
+endpoint, TLS fingerprint and role. The Compose volume
+`nexus-openclaw-device` keeps identity state stable across API restarts and
+must be protected as credential material.
+See [OpenClaw Gateway connection](docs/OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_CONNECTION.md).
+
+Every typed OpenClaw mutation carries a Nexus invocation context with actor,
+correlation id, W3C `traceparent`, and idempotency key. The PostgreSQL claim
+store keeps only metadata and hashed idempotency keys. Because the current
+OpenClaw schemas for `tasks.cancel`, `sessions.abort`, `sessions.patch`,
+`cron.run`, and `approval.resolve` are closed and do not declare an
+`idempotencyKey`, Nexus deduplicates these calls locally instead of sending an
+undocumented field. Schema-confirmed methods such as `chat.send` can opt in to
+wire-level `idempotencyKey` propagation. Active claims and terminal outcomes
+are stored transactionally in PostgreSQL `OperationClaims`; any existing JSONL
+file is treated as an immutable legacy archive and is neither read nor
+appended by the registered store.
 
 Agent activity shown as "Thinking" is redacted before display. Lines containing
 token, password, bearer, authorization, API key or secret markers are replaced
 with a redaction marker. Persisted audit-worthy events should be written as
 short Activity entries, not raw session transcripts.
 
-Nexus activity updates stream live through the Dashboard SSE channel and are
-filtered by explicit `agentIds`. Gateway session history is read-only fallback
-data: it is fetched on demand, redacted before display and not persisted as a
-long-term raw transcript. Agent "Now" and "Today" summaries are deterministic
-derivations from redacted Nexus activity plus redacted Gateway history; Nexus
-does not call an LLM to summarize this feed.
+Dashboard and agent telemetry no longer invent progress, elapsed time, next
+steps, cost or synthetic “Thinking” items. Progress is shown only when a Nexus
+task reports it, token totals only when a Gateway session reports them, and
+unreported values are rendered as unknown. Cost remains unknown until the
+runtime supplies authoritative cost data.
 
-Config writes and approval actions are owner-only. Config saves validate before
-replacement, keep a `.bak` when an existing file is replaced, write audit events
-without file contents or secrets and return structured `validation`, `backup`
-and `reloadCheck` results. Workspace Markdown hot reload is currently reported
-truthfully as `not_supported`; JSON validation exists in the save path but JSON
-files are not exposed unless they are explicitly allowlisted for editing.
+Nexus activity changes arrive as content-minimized domain events and invalidate
+only the affected Query keys. Gateway session history remains read-only
+fallback data: it is fetched on demand, redacted before display and not
+persisted as a long-term raw transcript. Agent "Now" and "Today" summaries are
+deterministic derivations from redacted Nexus activity plus redacted Gateway
+history; Nexus does not call an LLM to summarize this feed.
+
+Config writes and approval actions are owner-only. Agent bootstrap-file writes
+require `expectedHash` and `Idempotency-Key`, re-read before the write, use
+OpenClaw's `agents.files.set`, and verify the stored result afterward. Nexus
+reports only “saved and read back”; it does not claim an unconfirmed runtime
+hot reload. Arbitrary workspace files remain read-only. OpenClaw configuration
+patches use the live schema, `baseHash`, a visible diff and explicit
+`replacePaths`; secret values are never projected to the browser.

 Every push to `main` triggers `.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`:
-- **Backend**: .NET restore → build → test
-- **Frontend**: pnpm install → type-check → test → build
+- **Backend**: .NET restore → build → checked-in OpenAPI drift check → test
+- **Frontend**: pnpm install → type-check → generated client drift check →
+  unit test → build → Playwright Chromium E2E
+- **Optional integration**: environment-gated Testcontainers PostgreSQL and
+  Toxiproxy tests
 - **Security**: Scan for hardcoded secrets in source code
 
 CI must never break. If it does, Reviewer fixes.

+# Backend tests
+
+The normal test command remains Docker-free:
+
+```powershell
+dotnet test Nexus.Api.Tests.csproj --configuration Release
+```
+
+Docker-backed tests are discovered but skipped unless explicitly enabled.
+They use `postgres:17-alpine`; the optional network-fault contract additionally
+uses Testcontainers Toxiproxy and a pinned lightweight OpenClaw HTTP stub.
+
+```powershell
+$env:NEXUS_RUN_DOCKER_INTEGRATION_TESTS = "true"
+dotnet test Nexus.Api.Tests.csproj --configuration Release `
+  --filter "Category=DockerIntegration"
+```
+
+Enable the slower Toxiproxy case as well:
+
+```powershell
+$env:NEXUS_RUN_DOCKER_INTEGRATION_TESTS = "true"
+$env:NEXUS_RUN_TOXIPROXY_INTEGRATION_TESTS = "true"
+dotnet test Nexus.Api.Tests.csproj --configuration Release `
+  --filter "Category=DockerIntegration"
+```
+
+Once opted in, an unavailable Docker daemon is a test failure rather than a
+silent skip. In Gitea Actions, set the repository variable
+`NEXUS_RUN_DOCKER_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true`; optionally set
+`NEXUS_RUN_TOXIPROXY_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true` for the timeout contract. The
+selected runner must expose a working Docker endpoint to Testcontainers.
