fix: use host bind mount for repos so tool instances can access workspace files

Replace named Docker volume (repo_data) with bind mount (/data/repos) in both
development and production compose files. The named volume trapped repo files
inside the API container; tool instances started via Docker socket on the host
could not see them, causing /workspace to mount as an empty directory.

Also fix 6 pre-existing test failures in test_tool_instances_legacy.py caused
by get_container_id/get_container_name moving to docker.py and new helpers
(_ensure_web_bind_address, _ensure_container_name_in_compose) being added.

- docker-compose.yml: repo_data:/data/repos -> /data/repos:/data/repos
- docker-compose.traefik.yml: same change + remove repo_data volume decl
- tests: update patch targets and add missing mock parameters

Quality gates: pytest test_tool_instances_legacy.py (10 passed)

+```
+
+**Components:**
+- `useEvents()`: Manages SSE connection with auto-reconnect
+- `EventProvider`: Shares event stream across components
+- `EventToastBridge`: Maps events to toast notifications
+- `ToastContainer`: Displays and manages toast stack
+
+**Event-to-Toast Mapping:**
+| Event | Toast Severity | Auto-dismiss |
+|-------|---------------|--------------|
+| `instance.starting` | Info | 3s |
+| `instance.running` | Success | 3s |

+
+The platform monitors your tool instances in real-time and notifies you of important events:
+
+### What You'll See
+
+- **Starting:** When a container begins starting
+- **Running:** When a container is ready
+- **Error:** When a build fails, container crashes, or tunnel fails
+- **Stopped:** When a container stops

+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+### MON-PR1-001/002: Database Migration
+- Single Alembic revision `2026_05_28_add_monitoring_tables` depends on current head.
+- Creates `instance_events` (7 columns, 3 indexes) and `health_checks` (8 columns, 2 indexes).
+- Proper FK constraints: `ON DELETE CASCADE` for `instance_id`, `ON DELETE SET NULL` for `created_by`.
+- `upgrade()` and `downgrade()` both implemented.
+
+### MON-PR1-003/004: SQLAlchemy Models
+- `InstanceEvent`: `UUIDPrimaryKeyMixin`, no `TimestampMixin`, `created_at` uses `server_default`.
+- `HealthCheck`: `UUIDPrimaryKeyMixin`, `checked_at` uses `server_default`.
+- Both exported in `models/__init__.py` for Alembic autogenerate.
+
+### MON-PR1-005: InstanceEventBus
+- Singleton via `__new__` + module-level `_instance`.
+- `subscribe(event_type, callback)` returns unsubscribe callable.
+- `publish(event_type, payload)` delivers in same event loop iteration.
+- Exception isolation: subscriber failures are logged and delivery continues.
+- Added wildcard `"*"` subscription support for SSE endpoint.
+
+### MON-PR1-006: HealthMonitor
+- Accepts `event_bus` in constructor; poll interval `15.0s` (overridable in tests).
+- `start()` is idempotent; `stop()` cancels task and clears `_last_known_state`.
+- Queries instances with `status NOT IN ("pending", "stopped", "error")`.
+- Per instance: `get_container_status()` + `check_tunnel_health()` if `public_url` present.
+- State-change gating via `HealthSnapshot` dataclass; writes to DB + publishes events only on change.
+- Per-instance exceptions caught and logged as structured JSON; loop continues.
+
+### MON-PR1-007: SSE Endpoint
+- `GET /events/stream` authenticated via existing `get_current_user_id` cookie/JWT.
+- Returns `401` before stream start if auth missing; `429` if >5 concurrent connections per user.
+- Per-connection `asyncio.Queue(maxsize=100)` drops oldest on overflow.
+- `:ping` comment every 30 seconds.
+- On disconnect: unsubscribes from EventBus and releases connection slot.
+
+### MON-PR1-008: Lifecycle Hooks
+- `lifecycle_hooks.py` provides `publish_lifecycle_event()` which writes `instance_events` row + publishes to EventBus.
+- Instrumented in `tool_instances.py`:
+  - `create_instance` → `instance.created`
+  - `start_instance` → `instance.started` (at "starting"), `instance.error` (on crash), `instance.health_changed` (probe success/failure)
+  - `stop_instance` → `instance.stopped`
+  - `restart_instance` → `instance.restarted`
+  - `delete_instance` → `instance.deleted` (before row deletion)
+
+### MON-PR1-009: Structured JSON Logging
+- `logging_config.py` replaced plain-text formatter with `JSONFormatter`.
+- Fields: `timestamp`, `level`, `logger`, `message`, `correlation_id`, plus optional `instance_id`/`event_type` from `extra=`.
+- `CorrelationIdMiddleware` reads `X-Request-ID` or generates UUID; sets async context var.
+- `uvicorn.access` remains at `WARNING`.
+
+### MON-PR1-010/011: Unit Tests
+- EventBus: 6 tests covering pub/sub, exception isolation, unsubscribe, empty list, async subscriber, unsubscribe_all.
+- HealthMonitor: 6 tests covering crash detection, tunnel failure, recovery, skip on no change, Docker exception resilience, start/stop lifecycle.
+- All tests use fresh EventBus instances (`_reset_for_testing`) and mocked Docker/HTTP responses.

+# Exit code: 0  (All checks passed)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Surprises & Decisions
+
+1. **`metadata` column collision**: SQLAlchemy `DeclarativeBase` reserves `metadata` as a class-level `MetaData` attribute. Workaround: Python attribute named `event_metadata` with `mapped_column("metadata", ...)` to preserve the DB column name.
+2. **SQLite `JSONB` incompatibility**: Used generic `JSON` type in SQLAlchemy models so SQLite-based unit tests work. Migration still uses `sa.JSON()` which is portable.
+3. **Delete audit row survivability**: `ON DELETE CASCADE` on `instance_events.instance_id` means the `instance.deleted` audit row cannot survive the instance deletion. Inserted before deletion so it exists briefly; event bus publication is the durable signal.
+4. **Integration tests require `asyncpg`**: Existing integration tests fail locally because `asyncpg` is not installed in the host Python environment. These are pre-existing infrastructure limitations, not regressions.
+5. **EventBus wildcard**: Added `"*"` support to `publish()` so the SSE endpoint can subscribe once and receive all event types without maintaining a list of subscriptions.

+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+### MON-PR2-001 / MON-PR2-002: useEvents() Hook + events.ts API Client
+- `createEventSource()` returns native `EventSource` with `withCredentials: true`
+- `useEvents()` hook maintains `events`, `connected`, `reconnectCount`, and `error` state
+- Reconnect strategy: `delay = min(30000, 1000 * 2^attempts) * (0.8 + Math.random() * 0.4)`
+- On `401` (detected via `probeEventStreamStatus` fetch probe): stops reconnecting and redirects to login
+- On `429`: adds 5s penalty before next retry
+- Cleans up `EventSource` and pending timeouts on unmount
+
+### MON-PR2-003 / MON-PR2-004: Custom Toast System (No External Dependencies)
+- Built a pure React + CSS toast stack:
+  - `ToastContext` with `addToast` / `removeToast` APIs
+  - `ToastProvider` manages timer-based auto-dismissal
+  - `ToastContainer` renders fixed-position stack with inline styles + CSS animation
+- Supports severity colors: info (blue), success (green), warning (amber), error (red)
+- Auto-dismiss timers: info/success 3s, warning 5s, error 10s (configurable)
+- Manual dismiss via × button on each toast
+
+### MON-PR2-005: EventProvider Context
+- `EventProvider` mounts at app-shell level, calls `useEvents()` once, shares event stream via React context
+- `useEventContext()` allows any descendant to subscribe to the shared SSE stream without creating duplicate connections
+
+### MON-PR2-006: Real-Time Status Badge Updates + Polling Removal
+- Removed the 30-second `checkInstanceHealth` polling loop from `instance-list.tsx`
+- Added `useEffect` that listens to SSE events and updates `instances` state in-place for matching `instance_id`
+- Retained a 60-second `setInterval` for `loadInstances()` as a resilience fallback
+- Updated `session-card.tsx` badge color mapping to match spec:
+  - `starting` / `probing` → blue CSS class
+  - `unhealthy` → amber CSS class
+- Added corresponding CSS rules in `styles.css`
+
+### MON-PR2-007: Integration into App Shell
+- `AppShell` now wraps all authenticated routes with `EventProvider` and `ToastProvider`
+- `EventToastBridge` is mounted inside the providers to render toasts from SSE events
+- Mobile terminal view also gets the providers (toasts still work in terminal)
+
+### MON-PR2-008: Frontend Tests
+- `use-events.test.ts`: 7 tests covering event parsing, reconnect backoff, 30s cap, 401 redirect, 429 penalty, unmount cleanup, reconnectCount exposure
+- `toast-rules.test.ts`: 7 tests covering event-to-toast mapping (started, running, unhealthy, error) and deduplication within 1s window

+
+---
+
+## Surprises & Decisions
+
+1. **No sonner dependency**: The orchestrator instructed not to install `sonner` because `npm install` hangs in this environment. Implemented a custom ~170-line toast system instead using pure React + inline CSS. It supports severity, auto-dismiss, manual dismiss, and stacking with CSS animations.
+2. **EventSource 401/429 detection**: Native `EventSource` does not expose HTTP status codes. Implemented a `probeEventStreamStatus()` helper that does a short `fetch()` to the SSE endpoint with `AbortController` timeout to detect 401/429 before reconnecting.
+3. **Badge color CSS classes**: The existing `session-card.tsx` used raw color strings ("green", "yellow", etc.) as CSS class names, but no corresponding CSS classes existed. Added explicit `.status-badge.starting`, `.status-badge.probing`, and `.status-badge.unhealthy` rules to `styles.css`.
+4. **Tunnel health removal**: The 30s polling loop in `instance-list.tsx` was the source of `healthStatus` state used for "tunnel error" badges. After removing polling, tunnel-specific health data is no longer available in real time; instances now rely on SSE `status` transitions (e.g., `unhealthy`). The tunnel error badge was removed from `instance-list.tsx` as redundant with the status badge.
+5. **App.tsx vs app-shell.tsx**: This codebase has no `App.tsx`; `AppShell` in `app-shell.tsx` is the layout component that wraps all authenticated routes. Providers were mounted there instead.

+
+## Deviation from Design
+
+1. **Single migration vs. two migrations**: Prompt listed MON-PR1-001 and MON-PR1-002 as separate migrations, but design.md specifies a single revision. Implemented as one migration `2026_05_28_add_monitoring_tables.py` creating both tables.
+2. **`metadata` column name**: SQLAlchemy `DeclarativeBase` reserves `metadata` as a class attribute. Used `event_metadata` as the Python attribute name with `"metadata"` as the DB column name via `mapped_column("metadata", ...)`. The event payload still uses `metadata` key.
+3. **Delete audit row**: The FK `ON DELETE CASCADE` on `instance_events.instance_id` means the audit row for `instance.deleted` cannot survive deletion. The row is inserted before `session.delete(instance)` and is cascade-deleted on commit. The event bus publication still occurs.
+4. **SQLite test compatibility**: Used `JSON` instead of `JSONB` in the SQLAlchemy model to maintain SQLite test compatibility. The migration uses `sa.JSON()` which maps appropriately.
+
+## Remaining Tasks (for PR-3)
+
+- Integration tests for SSE endpoint (MON-PR1-012)
+- Integration tests for lifecycle hooks
+- E2E tests

+# Exit code: 0
+```
+
+## Deviation from Design
+
+1. **No sonner dependency**: The orchestrator explicitly instructed not to install `sonner` because `npm install` hangs in this environment. Implemented a custom ~170-line toast system instead using pure React + inline CSS. It is API-compatible with the expected `toast.info/success/warning/error(message, opts)` contract.
+2. **EventSource 401/429 detection**: Native `EventSource.onerror` does not expose HTTP status codes. Added `probeEventStreamStatus()` in `api/events.ts` that performs a short `fetch()` with `AbortController` timeout to detect 401/429 before reconnecting.
+3. **App.tsx vs app-shell.tsx**: This codebase has no `App.tsx`; `AppShell` in `app-shell.tsx` is the layout component that wraps all authenticated routes. Providers were mounted there instead.
+4. **Tunnel health badge removed from instance-list**: The 30s polling loop was the sole source of tunnel health data. After removing it, the "tunnel error" badge is redundant because SSE status transitions to `unhealthy` are reflected in the status badge itself.
+
+## Remaining Tasks (for PR-3)

+# SDD Design: Container Monitoring & Notification System
+
+## Status
+**Phase:** design  
+**Date:** 2026-05-28  
+**Owner:** Gentle AI  
+**Scope:** Cross-cutting (backend + frontend)  
+**Est. Lines:** ~2,100 (recommend 3 chained PRs)  
+
+---
+
+## 1. Component Architecture
+
+### 1.1 InstanceEventBus — In-Memory Singleton Pub/Sub
+
+**Pattern:** Module-level singleton, modeled after `TerminalManager` (`apps/api/src/services/terminal_manager.py`).
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- Maintain a registry of typed subscribers (`instance.created`, `instance.started`, `instance.stopped`, `instance.restarted`, `instance.deleted`, `instance.health_changed`, `instance.error`).
+- Deliver events to all subscribers in the same asyncio event loop iteration.
+- Catch subscriber exceptions, log them with `correlation_id`, and continue delivery.
+- Provide no persistence or queuing; offline subscribers miss events.
+
+**Class:**
+```python
+class InstanceEventBus:
+    _instance: "InstanceEventBus | None" = None
+    _lock: asyncio.Lock = asyncio.Lock()
+
+    def __new__(cls) -> "InstanceEventBus": ...
+
+    def subscribe(
+        self,
+        event_type: str,
+        callback: Callable[[InstanceEventPayload], Awaitable[None] | None],
+    ) -> Callable[[], None]: ...
+
+    def unsubscribe(self, event_type: str, callback_id: str) -> None: ...
+
+    async def publish(self, event_type: str, payload: InstanceEventPayload) -> None: ...
+```
+
+**Payload type:**
+```python
+class InstanceEventPayload(TypedDict):
+    event: str
+    instance_id: str
+    status: str | None
+    message: str | None
+    metadata: dict[str, Any]
+    timestamp: str          # ISO 8601 UTC
+    correlation_id: str     # UUID
+```
+
+**Location:** `apps/api/src/services/event_bus.py`
+
+---
+
+### 1.2 HealthMonitor — Asyncio Background Task
+
+**Pattern:** Singleton background task, modeled after `TerminalManager._idle_check_loop()`.
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- Poll every 15 seconds for all instances whose `status` is NOT IN `("pending", "stopped", "error")`.
+- For each candidate:
+  1. Call `docker inspect` via `get_container_status()` in `docker.py`.
+  2. For web tools with `public_url`, perform HTTP HEAD/GET to check tunnel health.
+  3. Compare against last known in-memory state (`_last_known_state: dict[UUID, HealthSnapshot]`).
+- On state change:
+  1. Update `tool_instances.status` in DB.
+  2. Insert row into `health_checks`.
+  3. Publish appropriate event to `InstanceEventBus`.
+- Catch all exceptions per-instance, log structured error, and continue to next instance.
+
+**Class:**
+```python
+class HealthMonitor:
+    def __init__(self, event_bus: InstanceEventBus) -> None: ...
+
+    def start(self) -> None:
+        """Idempotent start of the background polling task."""
+
+    def stop(self) -> None:
+        """Cancel the background task and clear state."""
+
+    async def _poll_loop(self) -> None: ...
+    async def _check_instance(self, session: AsyncSession, instance: ToolInstance) -> None: ...
+    async def _publish_state_change(
+        self,
+        instance: ToolInstance,
+        previous: HealthSnapshot,
+        current: HealthSnapshot,
+    ) -> None: ...
+```
+
+**Location:** `apps/api/src/services/health_monitor.py`
+
+---
+
+### 1.3 SSEManager — FastAPI StreamingResponse
+
+**Pattern:** Stateless generator endpoint that bridges `InstanceEventBus` to HTTP `text/event-stream`.
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- Authenticate via existing cookie/JWT (`get_current_user_id`).
+- Return `401` before starting stream if auth fails.
+- Subscribe a per-connection async callback to `InstanceEventBus`.
+- Yield SSE `data:` lines formatted as JSON.
+- Send SSE comment `:ping` every 30 seconds to keep proxies alive.
+- On disconnect (`asyncio.CancelledError` / client close), unsubscribe and release.
+- Enforce max 5 concurrent SSE connections per user.
+
+**Endpoint:**
+```python
+@router.get("/events/stream")
+async def events_stream(
+    request: Request,
+    user_id: uuid.UUID = Depends(get_current_user_id),
+) -> StreamingResponse:
+    ...
+```
+
+**Location:** `apps/api/src/api/events.py`
+
+---
+
+### 1.4 LifecycleHookService — Instrumentation Points
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- Thin wrapper around existing lifecycle endpoints in `tool_instances.py`.
+- At each lifecycle action (create, start, stop, restart, delete), publish the corresponding typed event **after** the DB transaction commits.
+- Record an `instance_events` audit row for every transition.
+- Pass `created_by` (current user ID) for user-initiated actions; `NULL` for system-detected transitions.
+
+**Integration points (all in `apps/api/src/api/tool_instances.py`):**
+
+| Endpoint | Event Published | Status | Audit Row |
+|----------|----------------|--------|-----------|
+| `POST /instances` | `instance.created` | `"pending"` | Yes |
+| `POST /instances/{id}/start` | `instance.started` | `"starting"` | Yes |
+| Probe success | `instance.health_changed` | `"running"` | Yes |
+| Container exits during start | `instance.error` | `"error"` | Yes |
+| `POST /instances/{id}/stop` | `instance.stopped` | `"stopped"` | Yes |
+| `POST /instances/{id}/restart` | `instance.restarted` | `"starting"` | Yes |
+| `DELETE /instances/{id}` | `instance.deleted` | `"deleted"` | Yes |
+
+**Helper:** `LifecycleHookService` class or module-level async functions in `apps/api/src/services/lifecycle_hooks.py`.
+
+---
+
+### 1.5 ToastComponent — Frontend Event Consumer
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- Single global `<Toaster />` component mounted in `AppShell`.
+- Subscribes to SSE via `useEvents()` hook.
+- Filters incoming events and maps to toast rules:
+  - `instance.error` → error toast, persistent (min 10s).
+  - `instance.started` → info toast, 3s.
+  - `instance.health_changed` → `running` = success 3s; `unhealthy` = warning 5s.
+- Deduplicates toasts for same `(instance_id, event_type)` within 1s.
+- Exposes a `toast.dismiss(id)` API.
+
+**Technology choice:** `sonner` (lightweight, headless-compatible) or a custom 150-line toast stack. **Decision:** Use `sonner` to minimize custom UI code.
+
+**Locations:**
+- `apps/web/src/components/toast-provider.tsx` — wraps `Toaster` + `useEvents`.
+- `apps/web/src/components/toast-rules.ts` — event-to-toast mapping logic.

+
+## 3. Interface Design
+
+### 3.1 EventBus
+
+```python
+# apps/api/src/services/event_bus.py
+
+class InstanceEventBus:
+    """In-memory typed event bus. Singleton per process."""
+
+    def subscribe(
+        self,
+        event_type: str,
+        callback: Callable[[InstanceEventPayload], Awaitable[None] | None],
+    ) -> Callable[[], None]:
+        """Register a callback for an event type. Returns an unsubscribe function."""
+
+    async def publish(self, event_type: str, payload: InstanceEventPayload) -> None:
+        """Deliver payload to all subscribers of event_type."""
+
+    def unsubscribe_all(self, event_type: str) -> None:
+        """Remove all subscribers for an event type (used in tests)."""
+```
+
+**Usage in SSE endpoint:**
+```python
+async def event_generator(user_id: uuid.UUID):
+    queue: asyncio.Queue[InstanceEventPayload] = asyncio.Queue()
+
+    async def on_event(payload: InstanceEventPayload) -> None:
+        await queue.put(payload)
+
+    unsubscribe = event_bus.subscribe("*", on_event)  # or per-type
+    try:
+        while True:
+            payload = await asyncio.wait_for(queue.get(), timeout=30.0)
+            yield f"event: {payload['event']}\ndata: {json.dumps(payload)}\n\n"
+    finally:
+        unsubscribe()
+```
+
+### 3.2 HealthMonitor
+
+```python
+# apps/api/src/services/health_monitor.py
+
+class HealthMonitor:
+    POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS: float = 15.0
+    MAX_STARTUP_WAIT_SECONDS: float = 30.0
+
+    def __init__(self, event_bus: InstanceEventBus) -> None: ...
+
+    def start(self) -> None:
+        """Idempotent. Creates `asyncio.Task` for `_poll_loop`."""
+
+    def stop(self) -> None:
+        """Cancel task and clear `_last_known_state`."""
+
+    async def force_check(self, instance_id: uuid.UUID) -> None:
+        """Immediate check for a single instance (used in tests)."""
+```
+
+### 3.3 SSEManager
+
+```python
+# apps/api/src/api/events.py
+
+@router.get("/events/stream")
+async def events_stream(
+    request: Request,
+    user_id: uuid.UUID = Depends(get_current_user_id),
+) -> StreamingResponse:
+    ...
+```
+
+**Headers returned:**
+- `Content-Type: text/event-stream`
+- `Cache-Control: no-cache`
+- `Connection: keep-alive`
+- `X-Accel-Buffering: no` (disable nginx buffering)
+
+**Rate limit:** Max 5 concurrent connections per `user_id`. Return `429` if exceeded.
+
+### 3.4 Frontend: useEvents() Hook
+
+```typescript
+// apps/web/src/hooks/use-events.ts
+
+export interface UseEventsReturn {
+  events: InstanceEventPayload[];
+  connected: boolean;
+  reconnectCount: number;
+  error: Error | null;
+}
+
+export function useEvents(): UseEventsReturn {
+  // Establishes SSE connection to `${BASE_URL}/events/stream`
+  // with exponential backoff reconnect.
+}
+```
+
+**Reconnect strategy (client-side):**
+- Initial delay: `1000ms`
+- Multiplier: `2×`
+- Cap: `30000ms`
+- Jitter: `±20%` (`delay * (0.8 + Math.random() * 0.4)`)
+- Max reconnect attempts: unlimited (persistent connection)
+
+### 3.5 Correlation ID Propagation
+
+```python
+# apps/api/src/services/correlation.py
+
+import contextvars
+
+CORRELATION_ID: contextvars.ContextVar[str] = contextvars.ContextVar("correlation_id")
+
+def get_correlation_id() -> str:
+    try:
+        return CORRELATION_ID.get()
+    except LookupError:
+        return str(uuid.uuid4())
+```
+
+**Middleware:** `CorrelationIdMiddleware` reads `X-Request-ID` header or generates new UUID, sets `CORRELATION_ID`, and includes it in all logs via a custom `logging.Filter`.

+| any | `deleted` | User clicks Delete | Yes (then row removed) | `instance.deleted` | Yes |
+
+**Rule:** The monitor only evaluates instances with `status` in `{"starting", "running", "unhealthy"}`. It does NOT evaluate `pending`, `stopped`, or `error`.

+
+### 6.3 Migration
+
+**File:** `apps/api/alembic/versions/2026_05_28_add_monitoring_tables.py`
+
+**Dependency:** Depends on the latest existing revision (e.g., `2026_05_28_add_terminal_sessions_table.py` or whichever is `head` at apply time).
+
+**Operations:**
+1. `CREATE TABLE instance_events`
+2. `CREATE TABLE health_checks`
+3. Create all 5 indexes.
+4. No data backfill.
+
+**Rollback:** `op.drop_index(...)`, `op.drop_table("health_checks")`, `op.drop_table("instance_events")`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Error Handling Strategy
+
+### 7.1 Docker CLI Timeout / Failure
+
+**Where:** `HealthMonitor._check_instance()` calling `get_container_status()` or HTTP tunnel probe.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Wrap call in `try/except Exception`.
+- Log structured JSON error with `instance_id`, `correlation_id`, `error_type`, `message`.
+- **Do NOT** update `tool_instances.status`.
+- **Do NOT** insert `health_checks` row.
+- **Do NOT** publish event.
+- Continue to next instance in the poll loop.
+
+```python
+try:
+    status = await get_container_status(instance.container_id)
+except Exception as exc:
+    logger.error(
+        "Health check failed",
+        extra={
+            "instance_id": str(instance.id),
+            "correlation_id": get_correlation_id(),
+            "error": str(exc),
+        },
+    )
+    return
+```
+
+### 7.2 SSE Disconnect
+
+**Where:** `events_stream()` generator, proxy/network failure, client close.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Detect disconnect via `asyncio.CancelledError` or `Starlette` disconnect sentinel.
+- Unsubscribe from `InstanceEventBus` in `finally` block.
+- **Do NOT** log error for normal disconnects (log at `INFO` level only).
+- Release connection slot in per-user counter.
+
+### 7.3 SSE Reconnect Storm
+
+**Where:** Frontend `useEvents()` hook.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Exponential backoff with jitter (see §3.4).
+- If server returns `429`, add extra 5s penalty before retry.
+- If server returns `401`, stop reconnecting and redirect to login.
+
+### 7.4 Event Bus Subscriber Crash
+
+**Where:** `InstanceEventBus.publish()` iterating callbacks.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Each callback wrapped in `try/except Exception`.
+- Log error with full payload and `correlation_id`.
+- Continue to next subscriber.
+- Publisher (`publish()` call) is never blocked by a slow/failing subscriber.
+
+```python
+for callback in self._subscribers[event_type]:
+    try:
+        if asyncio.iscoroutinefunction(callback):
+            await callback(payload)
+        else:
+            callback(payload)
+    except Exception:
+        logger.exception("Event subscriber failed", extra={"correlation_id": payload["correlation_id"]})
+```
+
+### 7.5 Auth Failure on SSE
+
+**Where:** `events_stream()` before `StreamingResponse`.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- `get_current_user_id` raises `HTTPException(401)`.
+- FastAPI returns `401 Unauthorized` **before** creating the stream.
+- No `InstanceEventBus` subscription is created.
+- No connection slot is consumed.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Testing Strategy
+
+### 8.1 Unit Tests
+
+| Test | File | What |
+|------|------|------|
+| EventBus publish delivers to all subscribers | `tests/unit/test_event_bus.py` | Register 3 callbacks; publish; assert all called with correct payload |
+| EventBus subscriber exception isolation | `tests/unit/test_event_bus.py` | Register callback that raises; publish; assert other callbacks still called |
+| EventBus unsubscribe removes callback | `tests/unit/test_event_bus.py` | Unsubscribe; publish; assert callback not called |
+| HealthMonitor detects crash | `tests/unit/test_health_monitor.py` | Mock `get_container_status` to return `"exited"`, `exit_code=137`; assert DB updated to `error`, event published |
+| HealthMonitor detects tunnel failure | `tests/unit/test_health_monitor.py` | Mock tunnel HEAD to 502; assert status → `unhealthy`, `health_checks` row inserted |
+| HealthMonitor skip on no change | `tests/unit/test_health_monitor.py` | Two identical polls; assert only one `health_checks` row |
+| HealthMonitor Docker exception resilience | `tests/unit/test_health_monitor.py` | Mock `get_container_status` to raise; assert no exception propagates, loop continues |
+
+**Fixtures needed:**
+- `event_bus`: fresh `InstanceEventBus()` instance (reset singleton state).
+- `health_monitor`: `HealthMonitor(event_bus)` with mocked `POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS = 0.1`.
+- `db_session`: async SQLAlchemy session with rollback after each test.
+
+### 8.2 Integration Tests
+
+| Test | File | What |
+|------|------|------|
+| SSE endpoint requires auth | `tests/integration/test_sse_endpoint.py` | `GET /events/stream` without cookie → `401` |
+| SSE endpoint streams events | `tests/integration/test_sse_endpoint.py` | Authenticated client connects; backend publishes event; client receives SSE line within 1s |
+| SSE endpoint enforces connection limit | `tests/integration/test_sse_endpoint.py` | Open 6 connections; 6th returns `429` |
+| SSE disconnect unsubscribes | `tests/integration/test_sse_endpoint.py` | Connect; close client; publish event; assert no error, subscriber count = 0 |
+| Lifecycle hook publishes on start | `tests/integration/test_lifecycle_hooks.py` | Call start endpoint; assert `instance_events` row exists and event bus receives `instance.started` |
+
+### 8.3 E2E Tests
+
+| Test | File | What |
+|------|------|------|
+| Start container → toast appears | `tests/e2e/container_monitoring.spec.ts` (or Playwright) | Click Start; assert "Container starting..." toast; wait for probe; assert "Container running" toast |
+| Container crash → error toast | `tests/e2e/container_monitoring.spec.ts` | Start container; kill container externally; assert error toast within 5s |
+| Real-time badge update | `tests/e2e/container_monitoring.spec.ts` | Start container; badge green; kill container; badge turns red without refresh |
+
+### 8.4 Frontend Unit Tests
+
+| Test | File | What |
+|------|------|------|
+| useEvents reconnect backoff | `apps/web/src/hooks/use-events.test.ts` | Simulate `EventSource` error; assert reconnect delay doubles up to cap |
+| Toast deduplication | `apps/web/src/components/toast-rules.test.ts` | Two identical events within 1s; assert only one toast shown |
+| Event-to-toast mapping | `apps/web/src/components/toast-rules.test.ts` | Map each event type to correct toast type, message, duration |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Performance Considerations
+
+### 9.1 SSE Connection Pool
+
+- **Limit:** 5 concurrent SSE connections per user ID.
+- **Reasoning:** Prevents tab-spam from exhausting server memory. A typical user has 1–3 tabs open.
+- **Implementation:** In-memory `dict[uuid.UUID, int]` in `events.py`. In-memory is acceptable because single-process API is assumed.
+
+### 9.2 Health Monitor Batching
+
+- **Current approach:** `docker inspect` is called once per instance per poll cycle.
+- **Optimization (future):** Batch `docker ps --format json` to get all container statuses in a single CLI invocation, then match by `container_name`. **Not implemented in MVP** to keep changes minimal; document as follow-up.
+- **DB writes:** Only on state change. The monitor compares against `_last_known_state` in memory before touching the DB.
+
+### 9.3 Event Bus Memory Profile
+
+- **No event history:** The bus holds only subscriber callable references (lightweight).
+- **No queues:** SSE connections use per-connection `asyncio.Queue` capped at 100 items; if a client is slow, drop oldest events to prevent unbounded growth.
+
+```python
+queue: asyncio.Queue[InstanceEventPayload] = asyncio.Queue(maxsize=100)
+```
+
+### 9.4 Database Write Amplification
+
+- **Health checks:** Written only on state change, not every 15-second poll.
+- **Growth estimate:** 100 instances × 10 state changes/day × 365 days ≈ 365k rows/year. Acceptable for PostgreSQL.
+- **Retention (follow-up):** Add a scheduled cleanup job or pg_partman for `health_checks` older than 30 days.
+
+### 9.5 Frontend Polling Reduction
+
+- **Before:** Health poll every 30s per running instance = 2 req/min/instance.
+- **After:** One SSE connection per browser tab, zero polling for status. Fallback list refresh every 60s retained for resilience.
+- **Server load reduction:** For 50 running instances across all users, eliminates ~100 health-check HTTP requests per minute.
+
+### 9.6 JSON Logging Overhead
+
+- JSON formatter adds ~20% CPU overhead vs plain text for high-volume logs. Mitigate by:
+  - Keeping `uvicorn.access` at `WARNING`.
+  - Not logging every SSE ping.
+  - Using `orjson` for JSON serialization if available (fallback to stdlib `json`).

+## 10. Rollout Plan
+
+| PR | Contents | Estimated Lines | Review Risk |
+|----|----------|-----------------|-------------|
+| **PR 1: Backend core** | DB migrations, models, `InstanceEventBus`, `HealthMonitor`, SSE endpoint, correlation ID middleware, JSON logging | ~1,000 | Medium |
+| **PR 2: Frontend** | `useEvents` hook, `ToastProvider`, `sonner` integration, badge real-time updates, remove 30s health polling | ~700 | Medium |
+| **PR 3: Integration + tests** | Lifecycle hook instrumentation in `tool_instances.py`, unit + integration tests, E2E tests | ~400 | Low |
+
+**Dependency order:** PR 1 → PR 2 → PR 3. PR 2 can be developed in parallel but must merge after PR 1.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Open Questions / Decisions
+
+| ID | Decision | Status |
+|----|----------|--------|
+| D1 | Use `sonner` for toasts (vs custom implementation) | **Decided:** `sonner` — reduces custom UI code by ~300 lines |
+| D2 | In-memory event bus (vs Redis/NATS) | **Decided:** In-memory — matches `TerminalManager` pattern; defer distributed bus |
+| D3 | SSE instead of WebSocket | **Decided:** SSE — one-way push, simpler auth, HTTP-compatible |
+| D4 | Batch `docker ps` for health monitor | **Deferred:** Keep per-instance `docker inspect` for MVP; document optimization |
+| D5 | `health_checks` retention policy | **Deferred:** 30-day retention to be added in follow-up |
