CAROL-INI-1888-02: Admin Monitor: Visit-time as per-visitor stacked bar (grey/blue)

Initiative
Open in Initiatives →

📖About

Convert the Visit-time chart from one aggregate bar into a stacked bar where each segment is one DISTINCT visitor time that day, identified by email or by anon:IP for anonymous visitors, shaded in greys/blues. Excludes Ninad. Hide the legend (too many visitors); tooltip shows the visitor id + minutes.

⚖️Decisions

  • Elrond's bypass methodology checklist (a reminder, not a gate -- you've got this): 0. File it requested_mode='bypass' (planner-vs-bypass is a deliberate choice). bypass_start REFUSES a non-bypass initiative (CAROL-INI-1846), and the dispatcher only skips the bypass lane when the mode says bypass -- a 'planner' mistag lets Merlin's pipeline grab the placeholder step and block your finished work. 1. Filed as planned status -- let the bypass claim/activate it; never file active. 2. Open the bypass (bypass_start) with your droid id + the remediation answer (remediates_initiative_id=NNN, or remediates_nothing=True). 3. Work the blocks for your work-type: template -> design -> code -> test -> review. Do the real work; record decisions on the initiative as you make them. 4. Reality is recorded for you at close -- code (files changed), each decision, and the twin-review verdict become real activities tied to this initiative and show in the Activity Tracker like a planner run (CAROL-INI-1840). No dummy rows. 5. Keep the initiative status moving; it parks in 'reviewing' and is tagged uat-pending for you at close (CAROL-INI-1836), so the stuck-watchdog leaves it alone until UAT. 6. Close runs the gates (design/architecture compliance + caller-audit). If a gate flags something pre-existing or unrelated to your change, waive it with a clear written rationale -- audit, don't skip. 7. Bypass skips the planner's auto-orchestration, NOT the standards. Same template checklist, same review, same observability as a planner run. (elrond)
  • Follow-on to parent INI 999900655 (orion)
  • Scope inherited verbatim from parent INI 999900655 per CAROL-INI-361. (elrond.initiative_author)
  • Validator round 2 still flagged 2 items — operator review needed (CAROL-INI-509). (elrond.initiative_validator)
  • [status-router] planned -> dispatched | event=dispatch | RSI: auto-promoted bypasses depth limit (CAROL-INI-2198) (spb-01)
  • [status-router] dispatched -> blocked | event=stuck_10min_no_activity | Elrond safety net: initiative has had no activity for 10+ minutes. Blocking under the parallel safety mechanism. (el-watchdog)
  • Elrond safety net blocked initiative: no activity for 10+ minutes. Parallel mechanism (twin of handshake). (el-watchdog)
  • Elrond blocked initiative under the CAROL-INI-2162 dead-Albus protocol. Albus was supposed to wake for step 0 (cause=albus_no_show) but did not respond. Cause: albus_no_show. Reason: Elrond safety net: initiative stranded 10+ min. Albus wake failed or produced no useful result. (el-s1)
  • Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900522): [procedural, confidence high] The initiative was repeatedly retracted from the dispatch queue before Albus could execute step 0, then left in 'planned' status with no further dispatch attempt, causing the Elrond 10-minute inactivity safety net to trigger. The execution history is empty, confirming Albus never started work. This is a procedural failure: the dispatching system repeatedly queued and retracted the initiative without ever holding it long enough for an operator push or automated executor wake-up, and after the final retraction (orion)
  • [status-router] blocked -> closed | event=operator_put | PUT /api/initiatives (operator)
  • [rsi-group-cure] Cured by the group diagnosis on INI 999900522 (shared cause stuck_10min_no_activity); retriggered as INI 999900851. Root cause: [procedural, confidence high] The initiative was repeatedly retracted from the dispatch queue before Albus could execute step 0, then left in 'planned' status with no further dispatch attempt, causing the Elrond 10-minute inactivity safety net to trigger. The execution history is empty, confirming Albus never started work. This is a procedural failure: the dispatching system repeatedly queued and (elrond.rsi_loop)

Success criteria

  • Visit-time chart is a stacked bar with one segment per distinct visitor (email or anon:IP), grey/blue shades, Ninad excluded. (must_have)
