* feat(initial-workspace): per-instance agnes init override
Adds Initial Workspace Template — an admin-configurable per-instance
override for the agnes init analyst workspace. When configured, agnes
init downloads a server-rendered zip from a Git repo the admin registered
and extracts it into the analyst's workspace, fully bypassing Agnes-default
CLAUDE.md / settings.json / hooks / slash commands / AGNES_WORKSPACE.md.
Repo layout convention: only the contents of a top-level `workspace/`
subdirectory ship to analysts; admin docs (README, CI configs) at the
repo root stay in the repo and never reach an analyst. Sync rejects
repos without `workspace/` at root.
Server side:
- src/initial_workspace.py — clone (or fetch+reset), validate, build zip
with strict path checks and reserved-path rejection
(workspace/.claude/init-complete reserved by Agnes)
- app/api/initial_workspace.py — admin CRUD + sync endpoint + analyst-
facing status/zip/applied endpoints; config persists to instance.yaml
overlay, PAT to .env_overlay
- app/secrets.py — refactor: persist_overlay_token shared helper with
threading.Lock for .env_overlay writes (closes pre-existing race
between concurrent marketplaces saves)
- app/web/templates/admin_server_config.html — new "Initial Workspace
Template" section + modal + Sync/Edit/Delete/Download buttons (matches
existing cfg-section visual language)
CLI side:
- cli/lib/override.py — single source of truth for is_override_workspace
sentinel detection
- cli/lib/initial_workspace.py — probe status, safe zip extraction with
../absolute/symlink rejection, typed-YES force confirmation
- cli/commands/init.py — override branch (skips Agnes-default workspace
writes); extended sentinel with override:true, template_source,
template_sha so future agnes self-upgrade does not auto-refresh hooks
- cli/lib/hooks.py + cli/lib/commands.py — short-circuit on override
workspaces (install_claude_hooks, install_claude_commands,
maybe_refresh_claude_hooks)
Audit-event strategy: server writes initial_workspace.fetch_started
inside GET /api/initial-workspace.zip (cannot be spoofed by PAT-holder);
CLI POST /applied writes initial_workspace.applied as best-effort
confirmation. Admin mutations log via the existing _audit pattern.
Tests: 27 server (clone/validate/zip + workspace-subdir convention +
concurrent persist_overlay_token + endpoint shapes + audit rows) + 29
CLI (override sentinel parse + probe fall-through + safe extraction +
YES strictness + hook guards + e2e mocked init).
Risk acceptance — documented in docs/initial-workspace-override.md +
CHANGELOG Internal section so AI reviewers understand the deviations
from defaults are intentional:
- maybe_refresh_claude_hooks deliberately no-ops on override workspaces
- --force on override does NOT back up CLAUDE.md (admin's repo is the
source of truth)
- .claude/CLAUDE.local.md IS overwritten by override extraction when
admin's repo ships one
* test+vendor-agnostic: drop Groupon tokens from #292 fixtures + extend admin-gate coverage
Two fixes from the takeover review on #292:
1. **Vendor-agnostic OSS rule**: Replace `Groupon` / `groupon/template`
tokens in test fixtures with `Acme` / `acme/template` (8 sites in
test_cli_init_override.py + 1 in test_initial_workspace_api.py).
Per CLAUDE.md "Vendor-agnostic OSS — no customer-specific content"
rule: customer-specific tokens don't belong in shipped artifacts,
even in test fixtures. The pre-existing FoundryAI mentions in
test_instance_config.py + test_setup_instructions.py are out of
scope for this PR (didn't introduce them).
2. **Admin-gate coverage gap**: `test_admin_endpoints_require_admin`
only covered GET /api/admin/initial-workspace + POST .../sync. The
register-write (POST .../initial-workspace) and delete (DELETE
.../initial-workspace) endpoints used the same `Depends(require_admin)`
wiring but had no regression test. Loop now covers all 4 verbs so
a future refactor that drops the dependency from one endpoint
fails here instead of silently exposing the write/delete paths to
any analyst with a PAT.
* release: 0.54.9 — Initial Workspace Template (per-instance agnes init override)
Last commit on the PR per CLAUDE.md hard rule. Patch bump (0.54.8 →
0.54.9) for Mina's Initial Workspace Template feature.
No DB migration (config lives in instance.yaml overlay). No
mandatory operator action — empty default keeps OSS-default
agnes init behavior. Operators wanting full template control link a
Git repo on /admin/server-config → "Initial Workspace Template".
See docs/initial-workspace-override.md for the full
responsibility-transfer contract.
