Agent workflow HTTP dogfood pilot - 2026-07-07

Purpose

Record one real React on Rails dogfood pass for react_on_rails#4228 and the shakacode/agent-coordination HTTP backend pilot gate.

This is an internal validation note, not user documentation. It does not change gem, npm package, Pro, generator, or published docs behavior.

Scope

• Host: Codex on M5.
• Target: shakacode/react_on_rails#4228.
• Branch: chore/4228-agent-workflow-dogfood-http-pilot.
• Coordination backend: HTTP Worker endpoint with temporary shell-only M5 tokens.
• Coordination lane: codex-m5-019f31c7, batch http-pilot-ror-20260707.

agent-coord doctor --json with temporary HTTP env	canonical agent-coordination/bin	Pass: backend: http, status: ok
.agents/skills/pr-batch/bin/agent-coord-bounded --timeout 20 status --repo shakacode/react_on_rails --target 4228 --json with canonical agent-coordination/bin first in PATH	repo-pinned bounded helper plus canonical CLI	Pass: active claim and live heartbeat visible for shakacode/react_on_rails#4228

Findings

• The HTTP backend write path worked for a real React on Rails target: claim and heartbeat writes succeeded, and the canonical bounded status read returned the active claim plus live heartbeat.
• The default agent-coord on this M5 shell is stale: $HOME/.local/bin/agent-coord delegates to $HOME/src/agent-coordination-state/bin/agent-coord and exports AGENT_COORD_STATUS_STATE_ROOT=$HOME/src/agent-coordination-status. With that shim, agent-coord-bounded read the old local status mirror and did not show the HTTP claim. Putting <agent-repos>/agent-coordination/bin first in PATH and unsetting AGENT_COORD_STATUS_STATE_ROOT fixed the read.
• The sandboxed Codex shell printed non-fatal mise cache/tracking warnings while running repo helper scripts. The commands still completed successfully.

Follow-up

Before making the M5 HTTP backend configuration persistent, refresh the local agent-coord shim/bootstrap so it resolves to the canonical public <agent-repos>/agent-coordination checkout and does not force the obsolete local status mirror.
