summary:
  assessment: >
    The Admin Runtime Health Dashboard plan is coherent and well aligned with Blueprint Runtime
    authority boundaries. The proposed five-chunk sequence is mostly correct: Runtime snapshot
    first, backend proxy second, frontend route and data access third, dashboard UI fourth,
    validation/docs fifth. The plan should be revised before implementation to make the Runtime
    health snapshot contract explicit, define degraded/unavailable Runtime behavior, enforce
    redaction rules, and prevent the backend from copying the existing shell scorecard pattern.
  recommended_strategy: >
    Confirm the five-chunk work package with revisions. Start with a Runtime-owned read-only
    healthSnapshot contract. Then expose it through an admin-guarded backend proxy that uses Runtime
    API/daemon-backed state, not shell wrappers. Build the frontend as a render-only dashboard. Keep
    MVP refresh page-load or manual refresh only. Defer polling, live streaming, mutation controls,
    and historical analytics.
major_findings:
  - id: finding-001
    severity: medium
    topic: runtime_health_snapshot_contract
    finding: >
      The plan correctly identifies runtime.healthSnapshot as the required canonical surface, but
      the data contract needs to be made explicit before frontend/backend work starts.
    recommendation: >
      Chunk 1 should define a stable versioned schema for runtime.healthSnapshot, including summary,
      gates, operations, leases, validations, human actions, consultant checkpoints, daemon
      freshness, dispatcher state, timeline, and optional redacted raw details. The frontend and
      backend should consume this contract rather than reconstruct workflow truth.
  - id: finding-002
    severity: medium
    topic: backend_shell_precedent
    finding: >
      The existing RemoteDevConsoleService.runtimeStatus shelling out to
      ai/tools/runtime-scorecard/scorecard.sh is a real architectural trap.
    recommendation: >
      Chunk 2 must explicitly avoid extending this pattern. The backend Health query should call
      Runtime daemon/API/client-backed state or a narrowly reviewed canonical Runtime CLI/API
      surface. Shell scorecard wrappers may remain compatibility-only, but must not become the
      Health dashboard proof surface.
  - id: finding-003
    severity: medium
    topic: deployment_and_daemon_absence
    finding: >
      The plan leaves open whether the admin Health query is local/dev only or generally available.
      This affects UX and backend error handling.
    recommendation: >
      Implement the backend query as generally admin-available, but make Runtime daemon absence a
      first-class degraded/unavailable state. Do not fail the whole page when Runtime is absent.
      Return a safe health snapshot with runtime_available: false, status: degraded or unavailable,
      and a clear operator-facing explanation.
  - id: finding-004
    severity: medium
    topic: redaction_and_raw_details
    finding: >
      Raw Runtime details can include local paths, operational internals, or sensitive debugging
      context.
    recommendation: >
      The default Health snapshot should redact or summarize raw local paths and unsafe internals.
      Drill-down raw JSON can exist, but should be explicitly marked as admin/debug detail and
      should use a redacted payload by default. If unredacted local-dev detail is needed later, make
      it a separate explicit development-mode behavior.
  - id: finding-005
    severity: low
    topic: refresh_policy
    finding: |
      Polling/live status can easily increase complexity and create accidental runtime load.
    recommendation: >
      MVP should use initial page load plus manual refresh. Defer polling, streaming, subscriptions,
      alerting, and live history.
  - id: finding-006
    severity: low
    topic: ui_scope
    finding: >
      The dashboard sections are comprehensive and useful, but the first UI chunk could become
      large.
    recommendation: >
      Keep Chunk 4 as a single UI chunk only if it remains a read-only dashboard composed of simple
      cards/tables/timeline sections. If it grows, split UI into summary/gates first and detail
      panels second.
final_recommendation:
  next_action: revise_plan
  implementation_start_chunk: Runtime Health Snapshot Contract
  notes_for_orchestrator:
    - Keep the five-chunk plan.
    - >-
      Revise Chunk 1 to make runtime.healthSnapshot explicit, versioned, read-only, bounded, and
      degraded-state aware.
    - >-
      Revise Chunk 2 to avoid shell scorecard canonical access and enforce admin
      guard/redaction/degraded behavior.
    - Keep frontend MVP render-only with page-load/manual refresh.
    - Treat Health as an observability/dashboard surface, not a workflow control surface.
    - After plan revision, implementation may begin with the Runtime Health Snapshot Contract chunk.
