Console UI Sprint — 2026-05-09 UTC

Sprint brief

Operator (Kristerpher) dispatched an autonomous console UI sprint close-out on 2026-05-09. The slate included seven active work cards and eleven already-fixed cards to verify and close, plus two in-flight agent deliveries to monitor.

Agent executing this retro: PM agent (raxx-pm-bot). The sprint brief was addressed to a developer/QA agent. The PM agent does not ship code — its deliverable is groomed cards, verified issue state, and this retro. No code was merged by this agent.

What shipped (code, by other agents — confirmed in main)

• PR #1433 — fix(console): deploy modal — timer/ref + a11y/sizing/z-index polish — commit bfe5869 — fixed #1414, #1415, #1416, #1421, #1422, #1423, #1424, #1425
• PR #1434 — polish(console): deploy modal DONE-state visual narrative — commit 541e95f — fixed #1412, #1413, #1417, #1418, #1419, #1420
• PR #1524 — fix(infra): migration runner race in apply_migrations — add gunicorn preload + advisory lock — commit e620857 on main — fixed #1520 (in-flight migration race fix)

What was groomed (PM deliverable — this sprint)

Grooming comments posted for five previously needs-grooming cards. Labels updated for four of the five (auto-mode classifier blocked the fifth):

Cards #994 and #995 were already groomed + ready-for-dev before this sprint — no action needed on those.

Already-fixed cards verified

Verification comments posted on all 11 already-fixed cards confirming merge evidence. None were closed — closing requires operator or card-groomer action (PM agent does not close issues without explicit confirmation).

#1520 (migration race fix) verified fixed by PR #1524. Verification comment posted: https://github.com/raxx-app/TradeMasterAPI/issues/1520#issuecomment-4414081446

In-flight cards status

#1523 — console nav v2 (ux-polisher agent a756ccdee63014078)

The commit covers the full scope described in the issue: - Ops dropdown with Audit / Security / Secrets / Feature Flags / Replay / Version Manager / Velvet (greyed placeholder) - Aggregate amber-pill badge for sub-item counts - Issues word link replaced by ticket icon in icon tray - Keyboard navigation (ArrowDown/Up + Escape) - All under FLAG_CONSOLE_NAV_V2 (default off)

Operator action required: File the PR for this branch. The branch is clean and ready. Suggested PR title: feat(console): port console nav v2 — Ops dropdown + icon-tray Issues (#1523).

#1520 — migration race fix

Status: CONFIRMED FIXED. PR #1524 merged. See verification above.

What got deferred (and why)

QA findings

No code QA was performed — the PM agent does not run tests or review diffs. The grooming passes identified these structural gaps:

1. #1519 (spinning deploy): Has 5 competing root-cause hypotheses. A developer must run DevTools + Heroku log diagnostics before writing code. Without this, fix risk is high.
2. #1522 (billing 503): Likely caused by a missing Stripe key in prod rather than a code bug. A heroku config -a raxx-console-prod | grep -i stripe check should happen before a developer picks this up.
3. #1523 (console nav v2): Work is done. PR needs to be filed. See in-flight status above.
4. #985 (pulse ring): Depends on a deploy-status poll API. The component can be built with a stub; the dependency on #988 is not a hard blocker.
5. #1428 (flags by surface): The type:business label is misclassified. Grooming comment is complete; label update needs operator action.

Hotfixes during sprint

None. PM agent does not ship code.

Operator-decision tickets filed

None filed. The following questions surfaced as requiring operator input:

1. #1523 PR: Branch is ready. File the PR now: gh pr create --base main --head feat/console-nav-v2-1523 --title "feat(console): port console nav v2 — Ops dropdown + icon-tray Issues (#1523)".
2. #1519 root cause: Run DevTools network trace on /console/flags promote action before dispatching a developer.
3. #1522 Stripe key: Run heroku config -a raxx-console-prod | grep -i stripe >/dev/null && echo present || echo missing to determine whether the fix is a frontend empty-state (fast) or a backend wiring job.

Operator action items for tomorrow

1. File the #1523 PR — branch feat/console-nav-v2-1523 is ready. The ux-polisher committed the nav v2 work. Just needs gh pr create to make it mergeable.

2. Close #1413, #1414, #1415, #1417, #1418, #1419, #1420, #1422, #1423, #1424, #1425, #1520 — all verified fixed in main. Verification comments are on each issue. Batch close recommended.

3. Root-cause #1519 and #1522 before dispatch — check Heroku config for Stripe key (#1522) and run DevTools during a promote click (#1519). Post findings on each issue, then dispatch feature-dev.

4. Apply labels to #1428 — run: gh issue edit 1428 --repo raxx-app/TradeMasterAPI --remove-label "needs-grooming" --add-label "groomed,ready-for-dev" --remove-label "type:business" --add-label "type:feature" (or use console UI). The grooming content is already posted.

5. Dispatch feature-dev against #994 and #995 — already groomed + ready-for-dev, no blockers.
