-# Story 280: Long-running supervisor agent with periodic pipeline polling
-
-## User Story
-
-As a project owner, I want a long-running supervisor agent (opus) that automatically monitors the pipeline, assigns agents, resolves stuck items, and handles routine operational tasks, so that I don't have to manually check status, kick agents, or babysit the pipeline in every conversation.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-- [ ] Server can start a persistent supervisor agent that stays alive across the session (not per-story)
-- [ ] Server prods the supervisor periodically (default 30s, configurable in project.toml) with a pipeline status update
-- [ ] Supervisor auto-assigns agents to unassigned items in current/qa/merge stages
-- [ ] Supervisor detects stuck agents (no progress for configurable timeout) and restarts them
-- [ ] Supervisor detects merge failures and sends stories back to current for rebase when appropriate
-- [ ] Supervisor can be chatted with via Matrix (timmy relays to supervisor) or via the web UI
-- [ ] Supervisor logs its decisions so the human can review what it did and why
-- [ ] Polling interval is configurable in project.toml (e.g. supervisor_poll_interval_secs = 30)
-- [ ] Supervisor logs persistent/recurring problems to `.story_kit/problems.md` with timestamp, description, and frequency — humans review this file periodically to create stories for systemic issues
-
-## Notes
-
-- **2026-03-18**: Moved back to current from merge. Previous attempt went through the full pipeline but the squash-merge produced an empty diff — no code was actually implemented. Needs a real implementation.
-
-## Out of Scope
-
-- Supervisor accepting or merging stories to master (human job)
-- Supervisor making architectural decisions
-- Replacing the existing per-story agent spawning — supervisor coordinates on top of it
