Date: 2025-11-20 Phase: Phase C (Slack → Bob End-to-End) Status: 🟡 IN PROGRESS (Blocker Identified + Fixed) Category: LS - Logs & Status
Audited current Slack integration for Bob's Brain and identified critical blocker: Agent Engine deployments have been failing due to outdated workflow referencing old my_agent/ structure instead of new agents/bob/ Agent Factory Pattern.
Key Findings:
- ✅ Slack webhook service IS deployed and configured
- ✅ Slack credentials (BOT_TOKEN, SIGNING_SECRET) are set
- ❌ Bob NOT deployed to Agent Engine (all deployments failing)
- ❌ Agent Engine deployment workflow outdated (references
my_agent) - ✅ FIX APPLIED: Updated workflow to use
agents.bob.agent
Service URL: https://slack-webhook-eow2wytafa-uc.a.run.app
Status: Deployed and healthy
Environment Variables Configured:
- ✅
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN- Set correctly - ✅
SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET- Set correctly - ✅
LOCATION- Set tous-central1 - ✅
PROJECT_ID- Set tobobs-brain - ❌ Missing:
AGENT_ENGINE_ID(needs to be set after Bob is deployed)
Slack App Configuration:
- App ID:
A099YKLCM1N - Bot ID:
B099A7GK2AW - Bot Name:
bobs_brain - Workspace: Intent Solutions Inc
- Event Subscriptions URL: Points to Cloud Run webhook (configured)
Status: NOT DEPLOYED Reason: Deployment workflow failing due to outdated agent path
Recent Deployment Attempts:
All recent runs: FAILED
- 2025-11-20 22:41:35 UTC: failure
- 2025-11-20 22:08:16 UTC: failure
- 2025-11-20 17:53:21 UTC: failure
- 2025-11-20 17:42:36 UTC: failure
- 2025-11-20 17:34:28 UTC: failure
Root Cause Identified:
# OLD (failing):
adk deploy agent_engine my_agent \
# NEW (fixed):
adk deploy agent_engine agents.bob.agent \The workflow was referencing my_agent/ which was renamed to agents/bob/ during the Agent Factory Pattern refactor (v0.8.0).
Change:
- adk deploy agent_engine my_agent \
+ adk deploy agent_engine agents.bob.agent \Lines Changed: Line 68
Rationale:
- Agent Factory Pattern (v0.8.0) moved Bob to
agents/bob/ root_agentis defined inagents/bob/agent.py:293- Correct module path is
agents.bob.agent
User mentions @Bob in Slack
↓
Slack sends event to webhook (✅ works)
↓
Webhook tries to call Agent Engine (❌ fails - no AGENT_ENGINE_ID)
↓
No Bob deployment exists (❌ deployments failing)
↓
User gets no response
User mentions @Bob in Slack
↓
Slack sends event to webhook (✅ works)
↓
Webhook calls Agent Engine with AGENT_ENGINE_ID (✅ will work)
↓
Agent Engine runs Bob (✅ will work after deployment)
↓
Response sent back to Slack (✅ will work)
↓
User gets response from Bob
-
Deploy Bob to Agent Engine
# Option A: Via GitHub Actions (recommended) gh workflow run deploy-agent-engine.yml --field environment=dev # Option B: Locally (testing only) adk deploy agent_engine agents.bob.agent \ --project bobs-brain \ --region us-central1 \ --staging_bucket <bucket> \ --display_name "bobs-brain-dev"
-
Capture Agent Engine ID
- Get Engine ID from deployment output
- Set as environment variable:
AGENT_ENGINE_BOB_ID_DEV
-
Update Slack Webhook Service
gcloud run services update slack-webhook \ --project=bobs-brain \ --region=us-central1 \ --update-env-vars="AGENT_ENGINE_ID=<engine-id-from-step-2>" -
Test End-to-End
# Test in Slack workspace # Send: @bobs_brain Hello! # Expected: Bob responds via Agent Engine
- Document Agent Engine ID in
.env.example - Create smoke test for Slack → Agent Engine flow
- Update roadmap (6770) with Phase C completion
- Create AAR for Phase C
- Enable A2A routing (Option B in webhook service)
- Test foreman → iam-* agent orchestration
- Update LIVE3 Slack notification integration
Before declaring Phase C complete:
- Bob deployed to Agent Engine (dev)
- Slack webhook service has
AGENT_ENGINE_IDenv var - Health check confirms Agent Engine connectivity
- Manual test: @bobs_brain responds in Slack
- Logs show successful Agent Engine calls
- No errors in Cloud Run logs
- Documentation updated with working configuration

Chosen: Fix workflow first Rationale:
- Ensures repeatable deployments
- Follows CI-only deployment principle (R4)
- Prevents future drift
- Enables automated staging/prod deployments
Chosen: Deploy to dev environment first Rationale:
- Safe testing environment
- Can validate full flow before staging/prod
- Aligns with progressive rollout strategy
- Matches LIVE3 safety gates (dev permissive, staging/prod restricted)

fix(ci): update agent engine workflow for Agent Factory Pattern- Change
my_agent→agents.bob.agentin deploy-agent-engine.yml - Fixes deployment failures caused by v0.8.0 refactor
- Enables Agent Engine deployments to succeed
- Change
-
docs(000-docs): add Phase C Slack integration audit SITREP- Document findings from Slack configuration audit
- Capture deployment blocker and fix
- Outline next steps for completing Phase C
Phase C audit revealed:
- Slack webhook infrastructure is correctly configured
- Agent Engine deployments have been silently failing
- Root cause: workflow referencing old agent path structure
- Fix applied: Updated workflow to new Agent Factory Pattern
Critical Path to Working Slack Integration:
- ✅ Fix workflow (DONE)
- 🟡 Deploy Bob to Agent Engine (NEXT)
- 🟡 Update webhook with Engine ID
- 🟡 Test end-to-end
Estimated Time to Complete: ~30 minutes after deployment succeeds
