CUST-WP-0009 — Human Interventions Flag

Purpose

Tasks in the state-hub can represent work for agents (custodian) or for humans (Bernd). Currently there is no way to distinguish these at query time. Adding a needs_human flag lets agents tag tasks they cannot complete themselves, surfaces them in a dedicated dashboard page, and lets Bernd work through all his action items in one place.

Scope

  • needs_human boolean + intervention_note text on the tasks table
  • API filter GET /tasks/?needs_human=true
  • 3 MCP tools: flag_for_human, clear_human_flag, list_human_interventions
  • Dashboard: new "Interventions" top-level page with amber-bordered cards and "Mark done" button

Design Notes

  • intervention_note required when needs_human=True (API validator raises 422)
  • Mirrors the blocking_reason pattern for blocked tasks
  • Dashboard "Mark done" button PATCHes {status: "done", needs_human: false}
  • MCP clear_human_flag is the agent-side equivalent (used after human completes the action)
