Loki Mode Files

PATCH release. Adds council transcript persistence across both bash and Bun council paths, a REST API to query transcripts, and a live dashboard panel. Motivation: YC demo readiness -- a partner clicking through the dashboard can now see the full multi-reviewer council record (who voted what, whether the devil's advocate triggered, and whether it flipped the outcome) without digging into raw log files.

Added

• Bash council transcript writer (autonomy/completion-council.sh): new function council_write_transcript() persists a structured JSON record per council round to .loki/council/transcripts/iter-<N>-<TIMESTAMP>.json. Handles both council code paths:
• Path A: council_vote() (legacy v1 path) -- parses per-voter data from votes/iteration-N/member-M.txt free-text files with regex fallback.

• Path B: council_evaluate() + council_aggregate_votes() (v2 path) -- reads from structured votes/round-N.json with Priority 1; falls back to member txt files. Wire-in calls added to council_vote() (after emit_event_json, Path A) and to council_evaluate() at all exit branches (after DA check, Path B). -- Dev E

• REST API endpoints (dashboard/server.py):

• GET /api/council/transcripts -- list transcripts, descending by iteration; query params: limit (default 20, max 200), since (ISO8601), iter_min.

• GET /api/council/transcripts/{iteration_id} -- fetch single transcript by id or return 404. Both endpoints use _get_loki_dir() for path resolution and return gracefully when the transcripts directory does not yet exist. -- Dev B

• Dashboard panel (dashboard-ui/scripts/build-standalone.js): new <loki-council-transcripts> custom element added inside id="page-council" after the existing <loki-council-dashboard> element. Renders per-iteration transcript cards with: iteration number, timestamp, task/PRD preview, per-voter verdict badges (APPROVE=green, REJECT=red, CANNOT_VALIDATE=yellow), contrarian section (only when triggered), outcome badge, and OVERRIDE highlight when contrarian_flipped=true. Polls GET /api/council/transcripts?limit=10 on connect and every 30s. Empty state shows "No council rounds recorded yet". No new top-level nav item added. -- Dev C

• Bun transcript writer + tests: councilWriteTranscript() added to loki-ts/src/runner/council.ts, called from councilEvaluate() after the devil's advocate check. Tests in loki-ts/tests/runner/council_transcripts.test.ts (6 unit) and tests/test-council-transcripts-api.sh (bash E2E). -- Dev D

Verified locally

• bash -n autonomy/completion-council.sh clean.
• shellcheck -S error autonomy/completion-council.sh clean.
• Bash writer integration test: synthetic round-5.json + council_write_transcript 5 APPROVED true false produces valid JSON at iter-5-<TIMESTAMP>.json; all required Q2 schema fields present (verified via python3 -c "import json; json.load(...)").
• Unit tests (Bun): [placeholder -- fill in after Dev D lands].
• API tests (bash E2E): [placeholder -- fill in after Dev D lands].

NOT in this release

• Real-time WebSocket push for transcripts (dashboard polls every 30s only; push is a separate effort).
• Backfill of pre-7.5.16 transcripts (writer fires only for rounds that run after upgrade).
• Authentication on the new /api/council/transcripts endpoints (same open-localhost model as all other council endpoints).
• Transcript viewer as a separate top-level nav item (sub-section under Council tab by design).

Migration

None required. Change is fully additive: new files written to .loki/council/transcripts/, two new API endpoints, one new dashboard panel. Existing behavior is unchanged.

Rollback: npm install -g loki-mode@7.5.15.
