Summary

  • Adds a Remotion-based animated architecture video (82s, 12 scenes at 30fps) that visualizes IronClaw internals for new contributors
  • Adds a Claude Code skill (.claude/skills/architecture-video/) so the video can be regenerated when architecture changes
  • Adds a render script (scripts/render-architecture-video.sh) for one-command video generation

Scenes

# Scene Content
1 Title Animated IronClaw logo
2 Five Primitives Thread / Step / Capability / MemoryDoc / Project
3 ExecutionLoop 7-step ExecutionLoop::run() pipeline
4 CodeAct Python code → Rust host functions → suspend/resume
5 ThreadState Full state machine diagram
6 Skills Pipeline Gating → Scoring → Budget → Attenuation
7 ToolDispatcher 9-step dispatch() pipeline
8 Channels Channel trait + stream::select_all merging
9 Channel Impls REPL / HTTP / Web / Signal / TUI / WASM
10 Traits 8 traits with concrete implementers
11 LLM Decorators SmartRouting → CircuitBreaker → Retry → Failover → Cached → Base
12 Outro Start Contributing

Usage

# Preview in browser
cd docs/architecture-video && npm install && npm run dev

# Render to MP4
./scripts/render-architecture-video.sh output.mp4

Test plan

  • npx tsc --noEmit passes with zero errors
  • Single-frame renders verified for all 12 scenes
  • Full video render produces valid 7.6MB MP4 (2475 frames)
  • Render script works from project root

If the caller passes a relative output path (e.g. ./scripts/render-architecture-video.sh output.mp4), OUTPUT will be interpreted relative to docs/architecture-video because the render runs after cd "$VIDEO_DIR". Consider normalizing OUTPUT to an absolute path (or to $PROJECT_ROOT) before the cd so the output location is predictable.

The file paths in this scene omit the src/ prefix (e.g. channels/repl.rs), and the TUI entry points at channels/cli/ even though the repo uses src/channels/tui.rs (and a separate crates/ironclaw_tui crate). Consider updating these strings to match the actual paths to avoid sending contributors on a file hunt.

This code block is presented as the Channel trait, but the signatures don’t match the actual trait in src/channels/channel.rs (e.g. methods return Result<_, ChannelError>, some have default impls, and send_status/broadcast signatures differ). Either make the snippet match the real trait or explicitly label it as simplified pseudocode so new contributors don’t copy the wrong API shape.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a Remotion-based project for generating an animated architecture overview video, featuring twelve React scenes, a custom syntax highlighter, and a shell script for rendering. The feedback identifies a path resolution issue in the rendering script, a typo in the TypeScript version, and missing library definitions in the TypeScript configuration. Additionally, a logic error in the video duration calculation was highlighted to ensure accurate rendering when transitions are omitted.

The script does not resolve relative output paths before changing the working directory to $VIDEO_DIR. If a user provides a relative path as an argument (e.g., ./output.mp4), the video will be rendered inside the docs/architecture-video/ directory instead of the user's current working directory. It is safer to resolve the output path to an absolute one before the cd command.

The TOTAL_DURATION calculation assumes that every scene except the last one has a transition. However, the rendering logic below only applies a transition if sc.transition is truthy. If a scene is added to the SCENES array without a transition (as suggested by the guide in SKILL.md), the calculated duration will be longer than the actual video duration, leading to trailing empty frames. It is better to calculate the duration based on the actual presence of transitions.

export const TOTAL_DURATION =
  SCENES.reduce((acc, sc, i) => {
    const hasTransition = i < SCENES.length - 1 && sc.transition;
    return acc + sc.dur - (hasTransition ? TRANSITION_DUR : 0);
  }, 0);

SettingScopeQuery introduces ?scope=admin semantics for settings endpoints, but settings_list_handler (GET /api/settings) does not accept/query this parameter and always lists the caller’s per-user settings. This makes it impossible for admins to list the admin-default scope via the API/UI while get/set/delete support it. Consider adding Query(query): Query<SettingScopeQuery> to the list handler and applying resolve_settings_scope() so /api/settings?scope=admin returns the admin-default settings (and keeps masking/secret-annotation behavior consistent).

Review: Animated architecture overview video (Risk: Medium)

The video itself (Remotion React project under docs/architecture-video/) looks like a great contributor resource. However, this PR has structural issues that need to be resolved before review of the actual content is meaningful.

Concerning: PR bundles ~9 unrelated commits with the video feature

This PR has 13 commits across 61 files, but most are unrelated merged features/fixes:

  • fix(gateway): scope chat approvals to active thread (#2267)
  • Fix paired Telegram owner scope (#2258)
  • fix(engine): always append ActionResult (#2322)
  • feat(engine): LLM council via per-call model override (#2320)
  • feat(config): default CLI_MODE to TUI
  • ci: build docker image in release process (#2321)
  • fix: re-apply Telegram UTF-16 splitting
  • feat: user-facing temperature setting (#2275)
  • chore: sync staging and main (#2337)
  • fix: resolve cargo-deny failures
  • fix web chat refresh active thread (#2330)

Only commits 10 and 12 are the actual video feature.

Concerning: CI failures

5 jobs failing: E2E (features), E2E (routines), E2E Tests rollup, Run Tests rollup, Version Bump Check. These are likely caused by the bundled unrelated commits creating conflicts.

Concerning: Base branch is main not staging

This repo's workflow goes through staging first. Targeting main directly is unusual.

Suggested fix: Rebase this branch to contain only the video-specific commits (10 and 12), target staging, and resolve CI failures. The video content itself is low-risk (self-contained React/TypeScript project under docs/) and should be easy to approve once isolated.

High Severity — Unrelated build policy change hidden in docs PR

The publish = false addition to Cargo.toml is unrelated to the stated purpose of this PR ("animated architecture overview video"). This silently prevents the crate from being published to crates.io. Whether intentional or not, it should not be bundled into a "docs" PR — it's a build/release policy change that deserves its own PR with explicit team review.

Suggested fix: Remove this line from this PR. If publish = false is desired, submit it as a separate, clearly-titled PR (e.g., chore: prevent accidental crates.io publish).

Medium Severity — Remotion licensing not addressed

Remotion has a custom license requiring a company license for organizations with 3+ employees making revenue. The PR introduces Remotion as a dependency without any licensing discussion.

Suggested fix: Add a note in the PR description confirming Remotion licensing has been reviewed and is either covered by the free tier or a license has been obtained. Alternatively, consider a fully open-source alternative.

Medium Severity — 378 npm packages added with --no-audit suppressing vulnerability scanner

The lock file adds 378 npm packages. The --no-audit flag in the render script suppresses npm's vulnerability scanner. This is a large attack surface added to a Rust project.

Suggested fix: (1) Remove --no-audit from scripts/render-architecture-video.sh. (2) Consider running npm audit in CI for this sub-project. (3) Document that this is an optional docs tool, not required for building IronClaw.

This is an optional docs-only tool — not required for building or running IronClaw. The --no-audit flag is only on the local render scripts npm ci (not CI), to avoid blocking contributors on advisory noise for a dev tool. The lockfile pins exact versions for reproducibility.

Medium Severity — Argument injection in render script

The $OUTPUT variable is derived from $1 and passed to npx remotion render. A user passing --some-flag as $1 would have it interpreted as a flag to remotion render, not a filename (argument injection).

Suggested fix: Add -- before "$OUTPUT" in the npx command, or validate that $1 doesn't start with -.

Medium Severity — Fragile duration calculation

TOTAL_DURATION is computed as sum(durations) - count(scenes_with_transition) * TRANSITION_DUR. This assumes transitions only exist between non-last scenes AND that a scene has a transition property iff it actually gets a rendered transition. Currently this works by coincidence (Outro is both last and the only scene without transition).

If someone reorders scenes or adds a scene with transition at the end, the duration calculation silently breaks and the video will be truncated or padded.

Suggested fix: Change to: SCENES.reduce((acc, sc) => acc + sc.dur, 0) - (SCENES.length - 1) * TRANSITION_DUR or explicitly count rendered transitions. Add a comment explaining the coupling.

Already fixed in 0a8d93c — TOTAL_DURATION now uses SCENES.filter((sc) => sc.transition).length to count only scenes that actually have transitions, rather than assuming all non-last scenes do.

- Remove `publish = false` from Cargo.toml (unrelated build policy change,
  should be a separate PR if desired)
- Add `--` before output path in render script to prevent argument injection

@henrypark133 All concerns from your review have been addressed:

  1. Bundled unrelated commits — Branch rebased to just 3 clean commits on top of staging (feature + review fixes + final fixes). All staging-promote merge noise removed.
  2. Base branch targeting main — Changed to staging.
  3. CI failures — All checks passing (fmt, clippy, tests, cargo-deny). Regression test check has skip-regression-check label since this is a docs-only PR with no Rust behavior changes.

Ready for re-review.

The script invokes npm ci/npm install below but only checks for node and npx. On systems where npx is present but npm is not (or is not on PATH), this will fail with a less actionable npm: command not found. Add an explicit command -v npm check (or update the existing npx check/message) before attempting installs.

highlight(code) is recomputed on every render. In Remotion, components re-render for every frame, so this repeatedly tokenizes the same static code strings and can slow down preview/render. Memoize the tokenization (e.g., useMemo keyed by code) or pass pre-tokenized lines into the component.

Suggested change
const lines = highlight(code);
const lines = React.useMemo(() => highlight(code), [code]);

This README is still the default Remotion template (e.g., “Welcome to your Remotion project!”) and doesn’t describe the purpose of this directory (IronClaw architecture overview video) or the recommended repo-level render workflow (scripts/render-architecture-video.sh). Updating it will help contributors understand how to preview/render and where outputs go.

… gate) and consolidate internal docs under docs/internal/ (nearai#7259)

* docs: enforce the docs/ publication boundary with a frozen .mintignore and CI gate

docs/ mixes the public Mintlify site with internal engineering docs, and
omission from docs.json navigation is not a publication boundary: a page
left out of navigation is still deployed, reachable by URL, and indexable.
docs/design/ and docs/research/ were never added to docs/.mintignore, so
both internal docs have been served as hidden pages on the public site.

Close the gap and the process hole behind it:

* Move docs/design/ and docs/research/ under docs/internal/, the one
  growing home for internal material — new internal docs now land inside
  the fence by default instead of requiring a .mintignore edit.
* Freeze docs/.mintignore: scripts/ci/docs_publication_boundary.py rejects
  any new entry (legacy directories stay listed until consolidated into
  internal/; entries may only be removed).
* Gate in CI (Code Style): every .md/.mdx under docs/ must be in docs.json
  navigation, matched by .mintignore, or carry `hidden: true` frontmatter
  marking a deliberately unlisted public page; navigation entries must have
  a source file. The gate has its own has_docs trigger because docs-only
  PRs skip every Rust lane, and it is checked in the roll-up before the
  has_code early exit so it blocks docs-only PRs too.

Regression coverage: scripts/ci/test_docs_publication_boundary.py (16
cases, run by the CI job before the check; one pins the real docs/ tree as
clean). Red/green verified: the checker flagged exactly
docs/design/agent-activity-streaming.md and
docs/research/pi-agent-deep-dive.md before the fix and passes after.

* docs: relocate legacy internal doc directories under docs/internal/ — text-only

Move plans/, superpowers/, qa/, adr/, architecture-video/, and
reborn-binary.md from docs/ into docs/internal/, and rewrite every repo
reference to the old paths (guidance files, script and workflow comments,
Rust doc comments, the render-architecture-video VIDEO_DIR, the
architecture-video skill, .coderabbit.yaml). Behavior unchanged: all
references to these directories were textual except the video script's
VIDEO_DIR, the skill paths, and the .coderabbit.yaml ignore, which are
updated in step.

docs/reborn/ deliberately stays put: its path is load-bearing
(ironclaw_capabilities and ironclaw_architecture_tests read contract files
from it at test time, and reborn-e2e.yml scope filters match it — pinned
by scripts/ci/ws12_workflow_contracts.py). It consolidates into internal/
in a follow-up when those consumers can move with it; docs/.mintignore and
FROZEN_MINTIGNORE_PATTERNS shrink to internal/ + reborn/ accordingly.

Verified: docs publication boundary check green, its 16 self-tests green,
ws12 workflow contracts green (46), touched YAML parses, zero references
to the old paths remain outside git history.

* test: cover the docs gate's entry point and pin its trigger in ws12 contracts

Fixes the three findings from the multi-agent code review of this branch
(security/bugs/performance/conventions clean; tests reviewer found 3):

* main() was never called by any test — the exit-code contract, the three
  stderr violation blocks, and main()'s MintignoreSyntaxError handling were
  uncovered, so a regression returning 0 despite violations would have
  passed all tests while turning the CI gate into a no-op. Three new tests
  drive main() directly (clean tree, all violation classes, syntax error).
* The has_docs trigger grep and the fail-closed roll-up guard had no pin.
  ws12_workflow_contracts.py now carries a has_docs CrateScopeFilter
  (docs/, the gate's own files, and the workflow in scope; crates and
  README out) plus code_style.yml REQUIRED_MARKERS for the job, both
  steps, and the roll-up guard — with sabotage tests proving narrowing
  the grep or removing a marker fails loudly. Red/green verified.
* is_ignored()'s slash-glob pattern branch (contains '/' but not
  trailing) had no fixture; covered with design/*.md.

* test: pin the docs-gate guard's ordering, not just its presence

Fixes the three findings from review round 2 (security/bugs/performance
clean; tests found 2, conventions found 1):

* REQUIRED_MARKERS is presence-only, so relocating the docs-gate roll-up
  guard to after the has_code early exit — the exact silent-skip bug the
  guard exists to prevent — passed every contract check. New
  validate_code_style_docs_guard_order() pins guard-before-early-exit in
  code_style.yml, with a sabotage test that relocates the guard line and
  a checked-in-order pass test. Red/green verified.
* CrateScopeFilterSabotageTests' docstring still described "the three
  remaining crate-keyed filters"; updated for the fourth, non-crate-keyed
  has_docs pin (review-discipline.md: guardrail docs must match the code).
* is_ignored()'s nested-directory pattern branch (a trailing-slash entry
  with an internal slash, e.g. `design/sub/`) never executed under the
  suite; covered by test_mintignore_nested_directory_pattern_fences.

* docs: fix relative ADR links missed by the path sweep; align checker hint with the frozen fence

Addresses the Copilot review on nearai#7259:

* The reference sweep rewrote literal `docs/adr` strings but not relative
  markdown links: `../../adr/` in target-architecture/{CHECKLIST,PROPOSAL}.md,
  `../../../adr/` in families/domains.md, and the hooks CLAUDE.md link (which
  also carried a pre-existing wrong depth from the WS7 family move) all
  resolved to the old location. A repo-wide relative-link scan found exactly
  these seven move-caused breaks; the remaining broken links predate this
  branch (WS7 crate-move fallout in testing-playbook.md, one dead June plan
  link) or are Mintlify extensionless links that resolve on the site.
* The checker's remediation hint said "add its directory to docs/.mintignore",
  contradicting the frozen-fence rule the same script enforces; it now directs
  authors to move internal material under docs/internal/.

* test: only executable guard occurrences satisfy the docs-gate order pin

CodeRabbit (Major, nearai#7259): validate_code_style_docs_guard_order used a raw
str.find, so a commented-out copy of the guard above the has_code early
exit — a realistic refactor leftover — satisfied the pin while the
executable guard sat below the exit, silently unhooking the gate for
docs-only PRs. The validator now strips comment lines before matching and
requires EVERY live guard occurrence to precede the first early-exit
occurrence; a comment-only occurrence reports the order as unassertable.
New decoy sabotage test red/green verified. Also parenthesized the
implicit string concatenations Ruff flagged (ISC004).

CodeRabbit flagged the moved architecture-video project's manifest: Remotion
requires every @remotion/* package at one identical version, but dependabot
nearai#6658 bumped only @remotion/cli and @remotion/tailwind-v4 to 4.0.499,
leaving remotion, @remotion/transitions, and @remotion/eslint-config-flat
at 4.0.447 — a pre-existing break on main that surfaced here because the
directory rename presents as a new project. Aligned all five to 4.0.499 and
regenerated the lockfile; `npx remotion versions` now reports all packages
at the correct version.

* test: assert both signals in the literal-pattern fencing case

Copilot (nearai#7259): test_mintignore_literal_file_fences used a pattern outside
the frozen allowlist but discarded the `unexpected` result, so it passed
while the checker it pins would fail — a misleading regression pin. The
case now asserts both independent signals explicitly: the literal entry
still fences its file (no publication leak) AND trips the frozen-list rule,
with the interplay documented in the test.

* docs: mark the architecture video as stale pre-Reborn content

Copilot flagged the relocated video scenes for citing crates/ironclaw_engine

* test: probe docs/docs.json in the has_docs scope pin

Copilot (nearai#7259): navigation is half the publication-boundary contract — a
nav-only edit can orphan a page into hidden-page territory or reference a
missing source file — but no has_docs probe covered docs.json, so a future
markdown-only narrowing of the trigger grep (e.g. ^docs/.*\.(md|mdx)$)
would silently skip the gate for nav changes while every existing probe
stayed green.

* fix(ci): map the two sweep-touched dev scripts and satisfy rustfmt

Two root causes behind the red CI on nearai#7259, both fallout from the docs
path sweep touching files no docs-only change normally touches:

* reborn_composition_boundaries.rs reads the (moved) composition pub-use
  snapshot; the longer docs/internal/plans/ path pushed the line past
  rustfmt's width. Reformatted.
* The Reborn PR test planner fails closed on unmapped repo-root scripts.
  The sweep touched two local dev tools no workflow invokes —
  check-type-duplicates.py (docstring path) and
  render-architecture-video.sh (VIDEO_DIR path) — mapped both with
  per-file decisions in the planner's established style. Verified by
  running the planner against this branch's full 173-file changed list
  (green) plus its 61 self-tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: commit the messaging-framework path rewrites dropped by the previous merge

The prior merge commit staged files before running the path sweep, so its
rewrites of nearai#6831's new files (docs/superpowers -> docs/internal/superpowers
in three Rust doc comments, the plan, and standard-operations.md) were left
unstaged and its message wrongly called the sweep a no-op. This commit is
those rewrites.

directory rename presents as a new project. Aligned all five to 4.0.499 and
regenerated the lockfile; `npx remotion versions` now reports all packages
at the correct version.

* test: assert both signals in the literal-pattern fencing case

Copilot (nearai#7259): test_mintignore_literal_file_fences used a pattern outside
the frozen allowlist but discarded the `unexpected` result, so it passed
while the checker it pins would fail — a misleading regression pin. The
case now asserts both independent signals explicitly: the literal entry
still fences its file (no publication leak) AND trips the frozen-list rule,
with the interplay documented in the test.

* docs: mark the architecture video as stale pre-Reborn content

Copilot flagged the relocated video scenes for citing crates/ironclaw_engine
paths that no longer exist. The scenes are untouched April 2026 content
(nearai#2365) presenting as new because of the directory rename; regenerating
them against the Reborn architecture is deliberately out of scope for this
move-only PR. Until that regeneration happens, a prominent README banner
states what the video describes, why it is wrong today, where current docs
live (openwiki/), and how to regenerate (architecture-video skill) — so the
content cannot mislead contributors in the meantime.

* test: probe docs/docs.json in the has_docs scope pin

Copilot (nearai#7259): navigation is half the publication-boundary contract — a
nav-only edit can orphan a page into hidden-page territory or reference a
missing source file — but no has_docs probe covered docs.json, so a future
markdown-only narrowing of the trigger grep (e.g. ^docs/.*\.(md|mdx)$)
would silently skip the gate for nav changes while every existing probe
stayed green.

* fix(ci): map the two sweep-touched dev scripts and satisfy rustfmt

Two root causes behind the red CI on nearai#7259, both fallout from the docs
path sweep touching files no docs-only change normally touches:

* reborn_composition_boundaries.rs reads the (moved) composition pub-use
  snapshot; the longer docs/internal/plans/ path pushed the line past
  rustfmt's width. Reformatted.
* The Reborn PR test planner fails closed on unmapped repo-root scripts.
  The sweep touched two local dev tools no workflow invokes —
  check-type-duplicates.py (docstring path) and
  render-architecture-video.sh (VIDEO_DIR path) — mapped both with
  per-file decisions in the planner's established style. Verified by
  running the planner against this branch's full 173-file changed list
  (green) plus its 61 self-tests.

* docs: commit the messaging-framework path rewrites dropped by the previous merge

The prior merge commit staged files before running the path sweep, so its
rewrites of nearai#6831's new files (docs/superpowers -> docs/internal/superpowers
in three Rust doc comments, the plan, and standard-operations.md) were left
unstaged and its message wrongly called the sweep a no-op. This commit is
those rewrites.
