Summary

Operator wants every agent fully customizable without code edits. Two pieces:

Rip the fake token-economy subsystem — no $ caps, no warn_at_pct, no pricing math. Keep raw input/output/cache token counts per task and per agent (already in task_history).
Hoist all hardcoded knobs into agents.json — routing maps, system prompts, foreman heuristics, pipeline thresholds, watchdog intervals, model defaults, Forgejo URL fallbacks, port. Then layer two editors on top: Monaco JSON (raw) and a form UI (curated).

Phases

Phase 1 — economy rip (1 PR)
Phase 2 — config hoist (5 stories)
Phase 3 — Monaco JSON editor (1 story)
Phase 4 — form UI + add-agent-type wizard (5 stories)

Suggested implementation order

Phase 1 (economy rip) — unblocks schema changes
Phase 2a routing → 2b prompts → 2c foreman → 2d thresholds → 2e misc
Phase 3 (Monaco) — works against any schema
Phase 4a skeleton → 4b routing form → 4c prompt editor → 4d thresholds → 4e add-agent

Out of scope

Stacked-PR dispatch (separate epic, filed alongside)
Multi-tenant config (per-operator views)
Live-edit safety (locks, rollback, audit)

## Summary Operator wants every agent fully customizable without code edits. Two pieces: 1. **Rip the fake token-economy subsystem** — no $ caps, no `warn_at_pct`, no pricing math. Keep raw input/output/cache token counts per task and per agent (already in `task_history`). 2. **Hoist all hardcoded knobs into `agents.json`** — routing maps, system prompts, foreman heuristics, pipeline thresholds, watchdog intervals, model defaults, Forgejo URL fallbacks, port. Then layer two editors on top: Monaco JSON (raw) and a form UI (curated). ## Phases - **Phase 1** — economy rip (1 PR) - **Phase 2** — config hoist (5 stories) - **Phase 3** — Monaco JSON editor (1 story) - **Phase 4** — form UI + add-agent-type wizard (5 stories) ## Suggested implementation order 1.
