QA Review — MC #9785 (reviewing MC #8764)

 Source task: #8764 — Fix mc-dashboard.js missing agent-metrics-api.js dependency (crash loop since 2026-04-19) 
 Source status: done (completed 2026-04-27 16:56:50) 
 Source priority: H 
 Source owner: codecraft 
 Scope 
 Reviewed whether ~/system/tools/mc-dashboard.js still has the restored hard dependency ./agent-metrics-api.js , whether the module exports the functions used by the dashboard, and whether the live Mission Control Dashboard on localhost:3030 responds on the affected metrics routes without crashing. 
 Tool-verified findings 
 
 node ~/system/tools/mc.js show 8764 confirms the original DoD: restored agent-metrics-api.js ; all 4 used exports confirmed; daemon and localhost:3030 were reported healthy at completion. 
 ~/system/tools/agent-metrics-api.js exists on disk ( 13,874 bytes at review time). 
 ~/system/tools/mc-dashboard.js has the hard require at line 214: const agentMetrics = require('./agent-metrics-api.js'); . 
 Dashboard uses these 4 exports: getTaskMetrics , getAgentStats , getErrorsSummary , getTimeline . 
 agent-metrics-api.js exports those 4 functions plus getCostsSummary . 
 Syntax checks passed: node --check tools/agent-metrics-api.js and node --check tools/mc-dashboard.js . 
 Module import/export smoke passed: exports-ok getTaskMetrics,getAgentStats,getErrorsSummary,getTimeline,getCostsSummary . 
 CLI smoke produced JSON artifacts for tasks, stats, errors, timeline for task 8764, and costs. 
 Live dashboard LaunchAgent is loaded: com.john.mc-dashboard with PID 1092 and status 0 during review. 
 Live HTTP smoke returned 200 for / , /api/tasks/metrics , /api/agents/stats , /api/errors/summary , and /api/timeline/8764 . 
 
 QA-19 gate check for source task 
 Ran node ~/system/tools/qa-19.js check 8764 and saved output to qa-19-check-8764.txt . 
 Result: 
 SCORE: 5/17 (2 skipped, 6 pending)
REQUIRED: 17/17 for H priority
GATE: PENDING
 
 Important process finding: task history for #8764 includes a FORCED_COMPLETION entry noting missing /tmp/gotcha-task-8764.md , missing /tmp/verify-8764/validator-independent.json , and blocked claim-gate labels at the time of completion. This QA review therefore cannot claim the original completion followed the full H-priority process gate. 
 Verdict 
 Functional QA verdict for #8764: PASS. The missing dependency is present, the dashboard imports it successfully, affected metric/timeline routes return live HTTP 200 responses, and no current crash loop was observed for com.john.mc-dashboard during this review. 
 Process verdict: PASS_WITH_FINDINGS. The original H-priority completion was forced and still has a QA-19 PENDING result due to missing historical GOTCHA/build/test/validator artifacts. This is recorded as a process non-conformance, not as a current functional failure of the restored dependency.
