### Checklist Assessment

#### Completeness
- [x] **FR-1: Daemon Health Banner** — Implemented in `DaemonHealthBanner.tsx`, polls `/healthz` every 5s, shows status dot (green/yellow/red), budget bar, queue depth, circuit breaker, pause state. Visible on every page via `Layout.tsx`.
- [x] **FR-2: Enhanced Dashboard** — `Dashboard.tsx` now shows `HealthSummaryCard` and `QueueSummaryCard` at top, enriched `StatsPanel` with review loop stats.
- [x] **FR-3: Queue Page** — `Queue.tsx` with status filter tabs (All/Pending/Running/Completed/Failed), `QueueTable.tsx` with all required columns, 5s polling.
- [x] **FR-4: Analytics Page** — `Analytics.tsx` with Recharts charts: cost trend (`CostChart`), phase cost breakdown, failure hotspots (`PhaseBreakdownChart`), model usage table, duration stats table, review loop summary.
- [x] **FR-5: Improved Phase Timeline** — Vertical connectors, proportional duration bars, Lucide icons (CheckCircle/XCircle/SkipForward), expandable error details, review/fix loop grouping with RefreshCw icon.
- [x] **FR-6: Daemon-Embedded Server** — `daemon.py` `_start_dashboard_server()` runs uvicorn on daemon thread, uses `app.state.daemon_instance`, config options `dashboard_enabled`/`dashboard_port`.
- [x] **FR-7: Subdomain-Ready Deployment** — `COLONYOS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` env var, configurable CORS, `deploy/README.md` with Caddy and nginx examples.
- [x] **FR-8: Pause/Resume** — `POST /api/daemon/pause` and `/api/daemon/resume` endpoints with write auth. UI button with confirmation dialog. Standalone fallback via disk state.
- [x] **FR-9: Navigation Updates** — Queue and Analytics added to sidebar nav.
- [x] **FR-10: Dependencies** — `recharts` and `lucide-react` added, no component libraries.

#### Quality
- [x] All 182 frontend tests pass
- [x] All 2,617 backend tests pass
- [x] Code follows existing project conventions (Tailwind dark theme, polling pattern, `fetchJSON` helper)
- [x] Only recharts + lucide-react added (as specified)
- [x] No unrelated changes (daemon.py changes are substantial but related — worktree check improvements, Slack notification thread safety, circuit breaker messaging)

#### Safety
- [x] No secrets or credentials committed
- [x] Pause/resume requires write auth (`_require_write_auth`)
- [x] Dashboard exception isolation — `_serve()` catches all exceptions, uvicorn errors logged but never crash daemon
- [x] Error handling present in all API fetch functions and poll loops

### Findings

- [web/src/components/DaemonHealthBanner.tsx]: The `fetchDaemonHealth` call accepts 503 status (for degraded/stopped daemons) — good design choice. The catch block in `handleAction` silently swallows errors on pause/resume, relying on next poll. Acceptable for v1 but consider a brief toast or flash.

- [src/colonyos/daemon.py]: The `_start_dashboard_server` method properly isolates uvicorn in a daemon thread with exception handling. The `os.environ.setdefault("COLONYOS_WRITE_ENABLED", "1")` is a reasonable default for embedded mode (daemon has the real instance), but note this means the embedded dashboard always has write access. Document this.

- [src/colonyos/daemon.py]: The `_preexec_worktree_state` refactor from boolean `_is_worktree_dirty` to tri-state (clean/dirty/indeterminate) with fail-closed semantics is a significant safety improvement. This is unrelated to the PRD but is good defensive engineering — the old code silently returned `False` (clean) on `git status` failure, which is a fail-open bug.

- [web/src/components/PhaseTimeline.tsx]: The review/fix loop grouping logic (`groupEntries`) uses a mutable `visibleIndex` counter during render. This works because React renders synchronously, but it's fragile — if React ever batches or reorders JSX evaluation, the connector logic breaks. Consider computing `isLast` in a pre-pass instead.

- [web/src/pages/Queue.tsx]: The condition `!error && queue === null && !error` has a redundant `!error` check. Cosmetic but sloppy.

- [web/src/util.ts]: Six separate switch-statement helper functions for status/source colors. These are essentially lookup tables — a Map or object literal would be more compact and easier to maintain. Not blocking but worth noting as tech debt.

- [web/src/pages/Analytics.tsx]: The `statsRef` pattern to avoid stale closure in the error handler is correct — this is the right way to handle "show error only if we have no cached data." Good.

- [src/colonyos/server.py]: The standalone fallback for pause/resume (writing to disk state) is a nice touch — means `colonyos serve` users can still pause a daemon running in another process.

- [web/src/components/DaemonHealthBanner.tsx]: No rate limiting on the pause/resume button. A user could spam-click "Confirm" before `actionLoading` takes effect. Minor but the `disabled={actionLoading}` guard is there, so it's fine in practice.

- [daemon.py diff]: ~200 lines of changes to daemon.py are tangential to the PRD (notification thread locking, pre-exec worktree refactor, circuit breaker Slack messaging improvements, resume state reset). These are good improvements but should ideally be a separate commit/PR for clean attribution.

VERDICT: approve

FINDINGS:
- [web/src/components/PhaseTimeline.tsx]: Mutable `visibleIndex` counter during render is fragile — consider pre-computing in a memo
- [web/src/pages/Queue.tsx]: Redundant `!error` check on line 68 (`!error && queue === null && !error`)
- [src/colonyos/daemon.py]: ~200 lines of tangential daemon improvements bundled with UI feature (notification thread safety, worktree tri-state, circuit breaker messaging) — ideally separate commits
- [src/colonyos/daemon.py]: `COLONYOS_WRITE_ENABLED=1` set by default in embedded mode — document the security implication
- [web/src/util.ts]: Six switch-statement color helpers could be simplified to lookup objects

SYNTHESIS:
This is a well-executed feature that does exactly what the PRD describes: surfaces the rich data the backend already serves. The implementation follows the existing codebase patterns faithfully — same polling approach, same Tailwind dark theme, same test conventions. The key architectural decisions are sound: uvicorn on a daemon thread with exception isolation, tri-state CORS configuration, confirmation dialog on pause/resume. The daemon.py changes include some tangential improvements (worktree fail-closed semantics, notification thread locking) that are individually good but muddy the diff — I'd prefer those in a separate PR for attribution clarity. The PhaseTimeline loop grouping is the most complex new logic and it works, though the mutable render counter is the kind of thing that becomes a bug six months from now. Overall, this ships real value with minimal risk. The model is being used effectively — the stochastic LLM did the grunt work of wiring data to UI components, which is exactly the right level of task for it. Approve.
