+✅ **Entry 193 — Fix dashboard stream/connectivity and building activity-state regression**
+
+- **Goal:** Resolve post-init-policy UX regressions where the dashboard falsely showed `Disconnected from event stream` and building-phase workflows appeared non-running due missing inferred activity state.
+- **Changes made:**
+  - `packages/web-dashboard/src/app/page.tsx`
+    - hardened SSE connection UX by tracking last snapshot freshness instead of immediately marking disconnected on any transient `EventSource` error.
+    - added stale-connection watchdog (`20s` freshness window) to reduce false disconnection indicators.
+    - updated projects bootstrap parsing to include `defaults.default_project` and auto-select it (when no `?project=` is set), including URL synchronization.
+  - `packages/web-dashboard/src/app/api/events/route.ts`
+    - replaced fragile initial snapshot/poll emit logic with guarded `pushSnapshot()` + `pushData()` helpers.
+    - added safe SSE error event emission (`type: 'error'`) when dashboard status reads fail, while keeping stream alive.
+    - added robust interval cleanup behavior on closed stream/enqueue failures.
+  - `packages/web-dashboard/src/lib/aop-client.ts`
+    - introduced `inferActivityState(...)` fallback logic when `activity_state` is missing in frontmatter.
+    - activity inference now uses phase/status, role-level running/blocked signals, and timestamp recency (`activity_last_event_at` / `last_heartbeat_at` / `last_updated`) to classify `active` vs `idle`.
+  - `apps/control-plane/test/dashboard-client.spec.ts`
+    - added regression tests verifying inferred `activity_state` for building features:
+      - role status `builder: running` -> `active`
+      - stale timestamp without explicit activity -> `idle`
+- **Result:** `npm test` [PASS] (`74` test files / `1021` tests passing). `npm run typecheck` [PASS]. `npm run lint` [PASS]. `npm run --workspace @aop/web-dashboard typecheck` [PASS].

+✅ **Entry 194 — Fix `risk` optional field type in planner system prompt**
+
+- **Goal:** Fix `plan_validation_failed` runtime error where LLM submitted `risk` as a plain string instead of the required `string[]` array.
+- **Changes made:**
+  - `agentic/orchestrator/prompts/planner.system.md` — expanded optional fields section to explicitly document `risk` as `string[]` with a concrete array example and a bold warning that it must never be a plain string.
+  - `config/agentic/orchestrator/prompts/planner.system.md` — synced identical change to the generated config copy so existing repos without a re-init pick up the fix immediately.
+- **Result:** No code changes; prompt-only fix. Existing tests unaffected.
