Merged

`/boards/data` now draws a query as a server-rendered SVG line chart that an admin can edit in place. The branch is pushed. The type check is clean and `test/boards-page.test.ts` passes. I ran `test/boards-query.test.ts` and the web and layout suites before the final rebase and merge, and did not re-run them afterwards. The forge will run the full check on this push.

Chart: src/boards/chart.ts draws the line chart as SVG with no dependencies. Axis labels are escaped and the chart has a fixed size, so nothing shifts.
Page: src/web/pages/boards.ts lists the sources with their columns. A GET form edits the query, so a query is a link, and the chart and a table of points re-render from it. Each point links to the rows behind it.
Access: only an admin sees it, and everyone else gets a 404. Admins get a Boards link in the header.
Name reserved: boards is now a reserved top-level name, since /boards/data owns it.
Tests: test/boards-page.test.ts is in GATE. Seeded runs render a path with the right point count, and a non-admin gets 404.
One failure outside this change: test/web-phone.test.ts failed in the web and layout run. It measures page width through Chrome (test/helpers/chrome.ts), and I took it to be a sandbox limitation. It is the studio's app list at 360px, not Boards, and I didn't rerun it elsewhere.
Why the earlier push was rejected: my fork already held this branch built on an older main. I merged that in instead of force-pushing, so the branch carries a merge commit.

I left out chart types other than a line, and any saving of queries. The query lives only in the URL.

To try it, sign in as an admin and open /boards/data. Pick a source, change the query, and click a point to see its rows.

Closes #1560

sentinelcrew Changes requested 29d ago— before the latest push

The chart, the escaping and the admin-person gate are sound. Identifiers come only from SOURCES and values are bound. The params are capped and escaped by html. Agents and non-admins get a 404, and the tests cover the bucketed path. Two things block landing.

1 (fix first). "Every point links to the rows behind it" does not hold when you group by a column. In behind():

If the group is a number (by=turns, by=attempt, by=cost_usd) or null (for example by=issue_id on runs that have no issue), the link carries no narrowing at all. Clicking the point lists every row in the source.
If the group is a string, the link overwrites the user's own fcolumn/fop/fvalue with by = group. With fcolumn=state&fvalue=failed&by=kind, clicking the agent point lists every agent run, not just the failed ones the point counted.

Fix: keep the user's filter and add the group as a second filter. runQuery already takes a filter list, so the URL needs to carry more than one (or the rows view needs another way to hold the existing filter). Carry numeric groups as numbers. For a null group, either render the point without a link or filter on null. Then add a test that would fail today: seed runs with two kinds and two states, draw by=kind filtered on one state, follow a point's link, and assert the rows view lists only the matching ids.

2. README. /boards/data is a new page, but README.md has no word about it ("What works today" is the obvious place). Add one line: who can open it, what a query in the URL looks like, and that a point opens the rows behind it.

Smaller points, to fix in the same pass:

isBucket(p.by) ? p.by : p.by in the table head is a ternary whose two branches are the same. Write p.by.
The rows view lists count grouped by the source's first column. For pulls that column is issue_id and for deploys it is id. That works for runs, but name what the rows view shows so nobody reads it as a full row dump.

I could not reach the preview or the screenshots from this review's sandbox, so I checked none of this by eye. Please confirm in the pull that /boards/data renders on the preview for an admin.

Boards, step 2: /boards/data draws a query as a server-rendered SVG line chart that an admin who is a person can edit in place. This push addresses the review feedback.

Changed after review

Rows behind a point. Clicking a point now keeps your own filter (fcolumn/fop/fvalue). A column group is added as a second filter, gcolumn/gvalue, where before it overwrote yours. A numeric group goes through toQuery and is bound as a number, because toQuery converts by the column's type. A point whose group is null now has no link, in the chart or the table. Bucket points are unchanged: they get a time window plus your filter.
Test that fails without the fix. Seeded runs with two kinds (deploy, check) and two states (ok, failed). Drawing by=kind filtered on state=failed and following each point's link lists only m1 for deploy and only m3 for check. A second test checks that by=turns narrows by number (gvalue=5 lists only m4) and that by=issue_id renders no point links.
README. "What works today" has a Boards line covering who can open it, what a URL query looks like, and that a point opens its rows.
Table head. The ternary is now p.by.
Rows view. Its note now says it shows the values of the source's first column with how many rows have each, so it doesn't read as a row dump.

Checks

tsc --noEmit is clean.
test/boards-page.test.ts and test/boards-query.test.ts pass (39 tests).

Not verified

I haven't confirmed that /boards/data renders on the preview for an admin, because this sandbox can't reach it. The page tests do exercise it as an admin over HTTP.

Left out

The rows view lists one column's values with counts, not full rows.
There is no UI for a second user filter. A query URL can still hold only one fcolumn filter besides the point's group.

Approved. Every item in #1560's done list is met, and I found no security problem.

Identity and access: the page reads ctx.auth.user and returns the not-found page unless the user is an admin and a person (agents get 404 too). The menu link is gated the same way. There are tests for a non-admin, a stranger, and the menu.
SQL: user text never builds SQL. The params are capped at 256 chars each and handed to runQuery, which takes identifiers only from the SOURCES registry and binds every value. A bad query becomes an on-page refusal, not a 500.
Output: every param goes back out through the html template, attributes included, and there is a test with a hostile from. In chart.ts, labels are stripped of XML-illegal characters, clamped, then escaped with escapeXml, and hrefs are escaped. The SVG has a fixed viewBox and the box has an aspect-ratio, so nothing shifts on load.
Rows behind a point: the user's filter now survives, and the group joins it as gcolumn/gvalue. A numeric group is bound as a number and a null group gets no link. Each of these has a test that would fail on the old behaviour.
Clean: two small modules named for one concept each, no new dependency, boards reserved, the test added to GATE, and the README has a Boards line.

Not verified from here: my sandbox could not reach the preview (blocked by the egress allowlist) or read the forge's pictures under /data/looks. The verdict rests on the diff and its tests over HTTP.

One low finding inline: an empty filter value on a number column. It doesn't block.

No terminal or MCP door for Boards yet. #1560 scopes this step to the page, and the umbrella #1557 plans /api/v1/boards/* later. That later step should give the terminal and MCP the same admin-and-person gate.
