What changed

  • server/store.ts deleteBot: after the bot list is saved, the deleted bot is removed from every room's memberIds. A room it led falls back to its next member (normalizeGroupDefaultResponder), and the rooms are saved and announced with a group change. Bot-to-bot channels (dm) keep their pair.
  • Startup repair: a room that already lists a bot which no longer exists has that ID dropped, and its responder is normalized and saved. This only runs when bots.json was actually read, so an unreadable bot list can never empty rooms.

Why

MOCA-264: "when adding the bots to a chat its showing the incorrect number (5 instead of 4)".

Deleting a bot removed its record, transcripts and workspace, but left its ID in every room. As a result:

  • Manage members' "Save · N bots" counted the deleted bot.
  • The roster check (checkedMemberIds) refused every save from that panel with "unknown room member", so the room's members couldn't be edited at all.
  • A room the bot led still pointed its default responder at it.

How it was verified

  • Before and after on isolated fixture servers. A room with 4 bots, then its lead (Ben) deleted:

    main this branch
    Saved members / visible 4 / 3 3 / 3
    Manage members button "Save · 4 bots" "Save · 3 bots"
    Default responder the deleted bot next member
    Save (sends the saved list) HTTP 400 "unknown room member" HTTP 200
  • Headless UI on this branch (control-omb ui launch): after deleting a member, the header and the panel both say 3 bots, and the button says "Save · 3 bots". Unticking a bot gives "Save · 2 bots", and saving updates the header and server to 2.

  • New tests in server/store.test.ts:

    1. A deleted bot leaves its rooms and passes on its lead role; a bot-to-bot channel keeps its pair; a group change is emitted; and it survives a restart.
    2. Startup repairs a room that still lists a deleted bot.
    3. An unreadable bots.json never empties rooms.

    1 and 2 fail on main; 3 passes on both.

  • Passed: pnpm exec vitest run on store, independent-task-store, group-tasks, bot-deletion-write-failure e2e, chief-rooms e2e, room-coordination e2e, bot-visibility (unit and e2e), comms, delegations, decider-rooms e2e and team-setup-requests (12 files, 404 tests), plus pnpm typecheck and pnpm lint.

  • I didn't run the full pnpm test.

Related: MOCA-265 (bots disappearing after a message, same reporter) didn't reproduce. A room carrying a deleted member may explain it.

Screenshots (UI changes)

None. The client is unchanged; the count is correct once the server stops keeping deleted members.

Checklist

  • pnpm typecheck and pnpm test pass locally. Typecheck passes; I ran the suites above, not the full pnpm test.
  • Server behavior changes come with tests (see CONTRIBUTING.md → Tests)
  • No dist-server/ edits (it's build output)
  • macOS-only code is platform-gated; no shell: true / cmd.exe string-building
  • No secrets in logs, responses, events, or argv

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Removing a bot now also removes it from group rooms and updates the room’s default responder when needed.
    • On startup, group rooms are repaired when they reference bots that are no longer available. Direct-message membership is preserved.

Deleting a bot removed its record, transcripts and workspace but left its id
in every room's memberIds. The room then counted it on Manage members'
"Save · N bots" (5 for 4 visible bots), the roster check refused every save
from that panel ("unknown room member"), and a room the bot led kept
pointing its default responder at a bot that no longer existed.

deleteBot now removes the bot from each room it was in, lets the room's lead
fall back to the next member, and saves and announces the rooms. Startup
repairs rooms that already list a deleted bot, but only when the bot list was
actually read, so an unreadable bots.json can never empty rooms. Bot-to-bot
channels keep their pair.

Fixes MOCA-264

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Store now repairs non-DM group membership when a loaded bot registry shows missing bot IDs. Deleting a bot also removes it from non-DM rooms, updates room state, saves affected groups, and emits group updates. DM membership remains unchanged.

Changes

Group membership cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repair group membership at startup
server/store.ts, server/store.test.ts
Store repairs non-DM groups when the bot registry loads as an array. Tests cover removing missing members, updating the responder, and preserving membership when bots.json is unreadable.
Update rooms when deleting a bot
server/store.ts, server/store.test.ts
deleteBot removes the bot from non-DM rooms, updates responder and busy-speaker state, saves affected groups, and emits group updates. Tests also check that pair-group membership remains unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3a8f2

A room-save failure can leave a bot deleted but its files and other state incompletely cleaned up, with retries unable to finish the operation. Make deletion recoverable before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3a8f2

The membership repair is appropriately bounded, but a failed room save can leave a bot removed while its conversation data and other deletion cleanup remain unfinished. Retrying deletion does not complete that work.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: A room-persistence failure can commit bot removal and its deletion receipt while preventing bot-owned data erasure and dependent cleanup. The missing bot identity then prevents ordinary retries from completing deletion, undermining deletion and cleanup guarantees.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The changed write affects every non-DM room containing the deleted bot. A failure gates subsequent erasure of that bot's task transcripts, workspace, skill-state and bot folder, as well as deletion notifications and later lifecycle cleanup.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The supported security consequence is incomplete data erasure during an authorized deletion when room persistence fails. That sequence can leave bot-owned data and saved command rules behind; the evidence does not establish unauthorized access to those remnants or reusable credentials.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Reviewed deletion requires an existing, distinct chief and matching target identity. Credential-mutation claims cover the target bot and its rooms, roll back partially acquired claims, and are released by the deletion lifecycle's finally block.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Browser erasure has a separate recovery control: deletion prepares cleanup intent before irreversible provider operations, and its error handler commits that intent if the bot record has already disappeared. This counters a claim that the new failure necessarily abandons all browser erasure, but does not replay the skipped Store cleanup.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — A durable, idempotent deletion-cleanup intent could retain the identities needed to finish room repair and bot-owned data erasure after partial failure, independently of whether the bot record or reviewed receipt still permits deletion to run.

Make bot deletion recoverable when saveGroups() fails.

deleteBot persists the bot removal and updates this.bots before it saves the modified rooms. If saveGroups() throws, deletion stops before transcript, workspace, skill-state, and bot-folder cleanup. No deletion events are emitted.

A direct retry of Store.deleteBot returns false because the bot is already absent. For reviewed deletions, the persisted receipt can make a retry return the saved result without resuming cleanup.

Use a transactional recovery sequence or a durable deletion record so a group-save failure does not lose the cleanup operation. Add a failure-path test for saveGroups().
