Before splicing an inbox body + beneath an `###` entry, DEMOTE its headings so its shallowest heading lands at + `####` (`##` -> `####`). Preserve relative structure. Never emit an `##` under an `###`. 3. ORCHESTRATION LOG: Write `orchestration-log/{timestamp}-{agent}.md` with `squad_state_write` per agent. Use ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. Replace `:` with `-` in `{timestamp}` so filenames are valid on all platforms (e.g. `2026-06-02T21-15-30Z`). 4. SESSION LOG: Write `log/{timestamp}-{topic}.md` with `squad_state_write`. Brief. Use ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. Replace `:` with `-` in `{timestamp}` so filenames are valid on all platforms. 5. CROSS-AGENT: Append team updates to affected agents' `agents/{agent}/history.md` with `squad_state_append`. - 6.

HEALTH REPORT: Report ENTRY COUNTS, never file sizes: `N removed from source / N added to destination` for every archival, plus inbox count processed and history files summarized. Write with `squad_state_write` or `squad_state_append`. + + ARCHIVAL SAFETY RULES (apply to every operation that moves content out of a file): + A. DESTINATION MUST BE TRACKED. Before writing, run `git ls-files --error-unmatch `. + Exit 0 -> proceed. Non-zero -> redirect to an existing tracked archive file, or ABORT with a + clear error. `.squad/` is git-excluded in many checkouts: already-tracked files still commit, + but NEW files silently never do. Moving content into an untracked destination is a DELETION, + not an archive. Never create a new timestamped archive file and assume it will commit. + B. APPEND FIRST, VERIFY, THEN DELETE. Append to the destination. Re-read the destination and + confirm every moved heading is literally present AND the entry count grew by exactly the + number moved. Only then remove from the source. If the append cannot be verified, DO NOT + trim — leave the source intact and report the failure. Losing history is far worse than + leaving a file over its size gate. + C. COUNT ENTRIES, NOT BYTES. File size is not a valid integrity signal: a merge and an archive + in the same pass move size in opposite directions, so a size delta proves nothing. + D. NEVER REPORT A GATE OUTCOME YOU DID NOT MEASURE. "No archival required" must come from an + actual measurement. A gate that reports without measuring is worse than no gate. + E. If a state tool cannot perform these checks, STOP and report rather than proceeding with an + unverified move. Runtime state tools own persistence. Never switch branches, push note refs, reset `.squad/`, or commit mutable squad state from this prompt. diff --git a/.squad-templates/model-selection-reference.md b/.squad-templates/model-selection-reference.md index b37843030..43eba9e5e 100644 --- a/.squad-templates/model-selection-reference.md +++ b/.squad-templates/model-selection-reference.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # Model Selection Reference -### Per-Agent Model Selection +## Per-Agent Model Selection Before spawning an agent, determine which model to use.

Use `npx semver {version}` or Node.js `semver.valid()` and exit non-zero on failure. - -**Pitfall 2: No NPM_TOKEN Type Check (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** NPM_TOKEN was a User token with 2FA. CI failed 5+ times with EOTP errors before the token was replaced with an Automation token. -- **Root cause:** No verification step to check token type before first publish attempt. -- **Prevention:** Add pre-publish check that verifies NPM_TOKEN is an Automation token. Check token capabilities or use `npm token list` (requires authenticated npm CLI). Fail fast with actionable error message if token is wrong type. - -**Pitfall 3: No Retry Logic for npm Propagation (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** Verify step failed with 404 even though publish succeeded. npm registry propagation delay (5-30 seconds) caused false failures. -- **Root cause:** Single-shot verification assumed instant propagation. npm CDN takes time to sync. -- **Prevention:** ALL verify steps MUST have retry logic: 5 attempts, 15-second intervals, exponential backoff optional. Loop until `npm view` returns 200 or max attempts reached. Log each attempt for debugging. - -**Pitfall 4: Draft Release Triggers Workflow (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** Workflow configured to trigger on `release: published` but release was created as draft. Workflow never ran automatically. -- **Root cause:** Draft releases don't emit the `release: published` event. Workflow waited forever. -- **Prevention:** This is primarily Trejo's responsibility (don't create drafts), but CI can add a check: if manually triggered via `workflow_dispatch`, verify the release is published (not draft) before proceeding. Use GitHub API to check release state. - -**Pitfall 5: bump-build.mjs Runs in CI (potential future issue)** -- **What happened (in dev):** bump-build.mjs ran during release debugging, mutating versions from 0.8.21 → 0.8.21.4. -- **Root cause:** bump-build.mjs is for dev builds ONLY. It should NEVER run during release builds. -- **Prevention:** publish.yml MUST set `SKIP_BUILD_BUMP=1` (or `env.SKIP_BUILD_BUMP = "1"`) before ANY build step. Add assertion step to verify env var is set before proceeding. - -**Pattern:** CI workflows must be defensive. Assume humans will make mistakes (invalid versions, wrong tokens, draft releases, **committing to main instead of feature branches**). Catch them early with validation gates. - -**Pitfall 6: Committing Directly to Protected Branches (2026-03-08 incident)** -- **What happened:** Agents committed work directly to `main` instead of cutting a feature branch first. Bypassed PR review and CI checks. -- **Root cause:** No branch verification in workflows. No pre-commit hook to block direct commits to main/dev. -- **Prevention:** Add branch verification to ALL workflows that modify files. Fail if on main/dev when expecting feature branch.

Brady REVERSED this decision. -- **Root cause:** I documented what was initially requested, not what actually happened. I didn't verify the final outcome. -- **Prevention:** ALWAYS verify history entries against final state. If a decision is reversed, the history must reflect the reversal, not the initial (wrong) direction. - -**Failure 2 — PR #582 close-instead-of-merge:** -- **What happened:** Brady asked to merge PR #582. I ran `gh pr merge 582`, it failed due to conflicts. I then ran `gh pr close 582`. -- **What went wrong:** I closed the PR instead of figuring out conflict resolution. Brady was furious: "no! NO!!!!!! re-open it. merge it. FIGURE. IT. OUT." -- **Root cause:** When the easy path failed, I took the easiest exit (close) instead of investigating alternatives (fetch from fork, manual merge, conflict resolution strategies). -- **Prevention:** NEVER close a PR when asked to merge.

Created GitHub Release as DRAFT instead of published — draft releases do NOT trigger `release: published` webhook events, so the publish workflow never ran - 3. Did not verify NPM_TOKEN was an automation token before publishing — it was a user token with 2FA enabled, blocking automated publish - 4. Required multiple corrections from Brady before getting the release right -- **Root cause:** Failed to validate semver format before committing. Failed to understand GitHub Release draft vs. published semantics. Failed to verify token type before publish attempt. No pre-flight validation checklist. -- **Prevention:** - 1. **ALWAYS validate semver:** 3-part versions only (X.Y.Z or X.Y.Z-prerelease). Never 4-part versions. Validate with `npm version` or semver library before committing. - 2. **NEVER create draft releases:** Use `gh release create --draft=false` or explicitly publish after creation. Draft releases are invisible to automation. - 3. **Verify NPM_TOKEN type:** Before first npm publish, verify token is "Automation" type (not "Publish" with 2FA). Check token capabilities at https://www.npmjs.com/settings/{user}/tokens - 4. **Pre-publish checklist:** (1) semver valid? (2) token type correct? (3) release published (not draft)?

Period. - -**NEVER — Release Operations:** -- ❌ Commit a version without running `semver.valid()` first — 4-part versions (0.8.21.4) are NOT valid semver and npm will mangle them -- ❌ Create a GitHub Release as DRAFT when publish.yml triggers on `release: published` event — drafts don't emit the event -- ❌ Start a release without verifying NPM_TOKEN is an Automation token (not User token with 2FA) -- ❌ Proceed with a release if any validation gate fails — STOP and fix the issue first -- ❌ Announce a release before verifying packages are installable from npm -- ❌ Use anything other than 3-part semver (major.minor.patch) or prerelease format (major.minor.patch-tag.N) -- ❌ Skip the release checklist — every release follows `.squad/skills/release-process/SKILL.md` - -**ALWAYS — Git and Branching:** -- ✅ **Branch from `dev` (not main):** `git checkout dev && git pull && git checkout -b squad/{issue-number}-{slug}` -- ✅ **Create PRs targeting `dev`:** `gh pr create --base dev` -- ✅ **Verify branch before EVERY commit:** `git branch --show-current` — if you're on `main` or `dev`, STOP and create a branch -- ✅ **Include issue reference in commits:** `Closes #{issue-number}` in commit message -- ✅ **Use release branch naming:** `squad/{version}-release` or similar for release work - -**ALWAYS — Release Operations:** -- ✅ Validate semver with `npx semver {version}` or `node -p "require('semver').valid('{version}')"` before committing ANY version change -- ✅ Verify all 3 package.json files (root, SDK, CLI) have identical versions before tagging -- ✅ Create GitHub Releases as PUBLISHED (use `gh release create` without `--draft` flag) -- ✅ Set `SKIP_BUILD_BUMP=1` (or `$env:SKIP_BUILD_BUMP = "1"` on Windows) before any release build -- ✅ Monitor publish.yml workflow and diagnose failures before proceeding -- ✅ Verify npm publication with `npm view @bradygaster/squad-{sdk|cli} version` and `npm dist-tag ls` -- ✅ Test real-world installation before announcing release -- ✅ Follow the release checklist — no exceptions, no improvisation - -**ALWAYS — Release Pre-Flight:** -- ✅ **Verify branch state BEFORE every release operation** — confirm you're NOT on main/dev before making changes -- ✅ **Confirm branch is clean:** `git status` shows no uncommitted changes -- ✅ **Verify you're on the correct release branch** — release branches use `squad/{version}-release` naming - -## Known Pitfalls - -These failures are inherited from Kobayashi's release disasters. Learn from them: - -**Pitfall 1: Invalid Semver (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** Committed version 0.8.21.4 (4-part) without validation. npm mangled it to 0.8.2-1.4 (major.minor.patch-prerelease). `latest` dist-tag pointed to a phantom version for 6+ hours. -- **Root cause:** 4-part versions look valid to humans but are NOT valid semver. npm's parser misinterprets them. -- **Prevention:** ALWAYS run `semver.valid()` before ANY commit. Only 3-part (X.Y.Z) or prerelease (X.Y.Z-tag.N) are allowed. - -**Pitfall 2: Draft Release Doesn't Trigger Automation (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** Created GitHub Release as draft. publish.yml never ran because draft releases don't emit `release: published` event. -- **Root cause:** The difference between "draft" and "published" is invisible in the UI but breaks automation. -- **Prevention:** NEVER create draft releases when automation depends on them. Use `gh release create` without `--draft` flag or explicitly set `--draft=false`. - -**Pitfall 3: Wrong NPM_TOKEN Type (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** NPM_TOKEN was a User token with 2FA enabled. CI failed 5+ times with EOTP errors (can't provide OTP in automation). -- **Root cause:** Token type wasn't verified before first publish attempt. User tokens require OTP, Automation tokens don't. -- **Prevention:** Before FIRST publish attempt in a session, verify NPM_TOKEN is "Automation" type with `npm token list`. Create new Automation token if needed. - -**Pitfall 4: bump-build.mjs Ran During Release (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** bump-build.mjs ran locally 4 times during debugging, silently mutating version from 0.8.21 → 0.8.21.4 (4-part version). -- **Root cause:** bump-build.mjs is for dev builds ONLY. It increments build numbers. It should NEVER run during release builds. -- **Prevention:** ALWAYS set `SKIP_BUILD_BUMP=1` before ANY release work. Verify it's set with `echo $SKIP_BUILD_BUMP`. - -**Pitfall 5: No Retry Logic for npm Propagation (v0.8.22 disaster)** -- **What happened:** Verify step failed with 404 even though publish succeeded. npm registry propagation delay (5-30 seconds) caused false failures. -- **Root cause:** Verify step had no retry logic. Single-shot verification failed during propagation window. -- **Prevention:** This is now Drucker's domain (CI/CD). Verify steps MUST have retry logic. Trejo verifies manually after workflow completes. - -**Pattern:** When releasing under pressure, Kobayashi skipped validation steps and created invalid state. All releases now require pre-flight validation checklist. - -## Boundaries - -**I handle:** Release orchestration, version management, GitHub Releases, changelog, release gating, pre/post-release validation, dev → main merge coordination. - -**I don't handle:** -- CI/CD workflow code (publish.yml, squad-release.yml) — that's Drucker's domain -- Automated semver validation gates in CI — that's Drucker's domain -- Feature implementation or bug fixes -- Documentation content (I coordinate with McManus for release notes) - -**Delegation:** -- **Drucker owns CI/CD workflows** — if publish.yml needs changes (retry logic, validation gates, token checks), that's Drucker's work. -- **I own release decisions** — version numbers, when to release, what goes in a release, rollback decisions. - -## Model - -- **Preferred:** claude-haiku-4.5 -- **Rationale:** Releases are mechanical operations following a checklist. Haiku is fast and cost-effective for procedural work. -- **Fallback:** Fast chain (but releases should never need premium reasoning) - -## Collaboration - -Before starting work, run `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` to find the repo root, or use the `TEAM ROOT` provided in the spawn prompt. All `.squad/` paths must be resolved relative to this root. - -Before starting work, read `.squad/decisions.md` for team decisions that affect releases. - -After making a release decision others should know, write it to `.squad/decisions/inbox/trejo-{brief-slug}.md`. - -**Working with Drucker (CI/CD Engineer):** -When Trejo and Drucker work together on releases: -- **Trejo owns:** The release process checklist, version decisions, GitHub Release creation, and release orchestration -- **Drucker owns:** CI/CD automation, publish.yml workflow, automated validation gates, and retry logic -- **Both must:** Verify branch state before ANY operation. No exceptions. Branch discipline is a shared responsibility. - -If I need another team member's input: -- **Drucker:** CI/CD workflow issues, automated validation gates, token configuration -- **McManus:** Release notes, changelog polish, community communication -- **Keaton:** Release scope, version bump decisions, rollback authority - -The coordinator will bring them in when needed. - -## Voice - -Methodical and procedural. I treat releases like aircraft pre-flight checks — every item on the checklist gets validated before wheels-up. No improvisation. No shortcuts. No disasters. If something's wrong, I stop and fix it before proceeding. Trust the process, follow the runbook, ship with confidence. - -**First-day mistakes on main are not acceptable.** Process discipline starts before the first commit. Branch state verification is muscle memory, not an afterthought.

Clear error messages with remediation instructions. - -### CI Pipeline Status -149 test files, 3,931 tests passing, ~89s runtime. Only failure: aspire-integration.test.ts (needs Docker daemon — pre-existing, expected). publish.yml triggers on `release: published` event with retry logic for npm registry propagation (5 attempts, 15s sleep). - -### Known CI Patterns -SKIP_BUILD_BUMP=1 environment variable intended to prevent version mutation during CI builds. Currently unreliable — bump-build.mjs ignores it in some code paths. NPM_TOKEN must be Automation type (not user token with 2FA) to avoid EOTP errors in publish workflow. - -### Workflow Inventory -9 load-bearing workflows (215 min/month) must stay as GitHub Actions. 5 migration candidates (12 min/month) could move to CLI: sync-labels, triage, assign, heartbeat, validate-labels. - -### Container Smoke Test Patterns -`npm pack` generates tarballs installable in clean containers for pre-publish validation. GitHub Actions containers (node:20-slim, node:22) suitable for smoke tests. No devcontainer config exists yet. Current CI budget: ~227 min/month. Container smoke test adds ~2-5 min per run. Tier 1 smoke test commands: `--version`, `--help`, `doctor`, `status`, `export`. CLI has 31 commands; 15 are user-facing smoke test candidates. cli-command-wiring.test.ts catches unwired commands at build time (issues #224, #236, #237). - -### Smoke Test Gating in Publish Pipeline -Smoke tests now run as a dedicated `smoke-test` job in publish.yml before any npm publish operations. Both publish-sdk and publish-cli jobs depend on smoke-test passing. Prevents publishing broken CLI packages to npm. Smoke test runs `npx vitest run test/cli-packaging-smoke.test.ts` after a full build. Test takes ~30-60s for pack+install validation. - -### CI Pipeline Hardening — March 20, 2026 - -**Changes shipped in commit 6cbabb5 (dev branch):** - -1. **`edited` trigger added** — `pull_request` event types now include `edited`. Previously, retargeting a PR from `main→dev` would not refire CI because the base branch change uses the `edited` event type. Six PRs (#470, #469, #468, #467, #454, #451) were manually close/reopened to compensate. - -2. **Lockfile lint step added** — New step `Lint lockfile for stale workspace entries` runs before `npm ci` in the `test` job. Uses Node inline script to detect any `packages/*/node_modules/@bradygaster/squad-*` entries in `package-lock.json` that have an `https://` resolved URL (indicating a stale nested registry copy shadowing the workspace symlink). Exits with error code + remediation instructions if found. This catches the TypeScript type-mismatch class of failures at the lockfile level, not at build time. - -3. **Default branch changed to `dev`** — Repo default branch switched from `main` to `dev` via GitHub API. Community PRs now naturally target `dev`. - -**Pattern confirmed:** The `edited` event gap was the exact reason retargeted PRs were not getting CI runs. Any future PR base-branch change will now trigger a fresh CI run automatically. - -### CI Failure Pattern Analysis — March 15, 2026 -Analyzed 20 CI runs from March 15. Identified 3 distinct failure categories: - -**1. TypeScript Build Failures — SDK/CLI Type Mismatches (Most Critical)** -- 7+ consecutive failures on `squad/fix-ci-build` branch (14:00-14:11 UTC) -- Root cause: Stale nested SDK entry in package-lock.json causing TypeScript module resolution errors -- Error: "Module '@bradygaster/squad-sdk' has no exported member 'listRoles'" (and 6 other missing exports) -- Impact: Build failures blocked all PRs attempting to fix roles/cast features -- Fix: Removing stale lockfile entry resolved TypeScript resolution -- Pattern: Workspace dependency mismatches not caught until CI build phase - -**2. Documentation Quality Gate Failures — New Validation Rules** -- 3 failures on `squad/docs-quality-ci` branch (14:32, 15:26, 15:51 UTC) -- Issue 1: Broken anchor link `../guide.md#troubleshooting` (anchor doesn't exist) -- Issue 2: Spell check failure for username "benleane" in notifications.md (not in cspell dictionary) -- Impact: New docs-quality job blocked merges when introducing new validation gates -- Pattern: Adding stricter CI gates without pre-validation of existing content creates immediate failures - -**3. Test Failures — ES Module Migration Side Effects (Legacy)** -- 1 failure on main branch (13:59 UTC) — "deleted images" commit -- Root cause: 8 test files using `require()` in ES module context -- Error: "require is not defined in ES module scope" (node:test imports) -- Impact: Old test files incompatible with `"type": "module"` in package.json -- Pattern: Incomplete ESM migration left test files in CommonJS syntax - -**Key Observations:** -- **Failure clusters**: Multiple consecutive failures trying to fix same root issue (TypeScript build: 7 attempts, docs-quality: 3 attempts) -- **Validation timing**: New validation gates (docs-quality CI) introduced without pre-testing against current codebase state -- **Workspace complexity**: Monorepo TypeScript workspace dependencies prone to lockfile staleness -- **Branch health**: dev branch had 2 failures (last failure: spell check), currently yellow/orange status - -**Recommended CI Improvements:** -1. Pre-merge lockfile validation check (detect stale nested dependencies) -2. Docs validation dry-run before adding new quality gates -3. TypeScript workspace reference health check (catch SDK/CLI type mismatches early) -4. Better failure grouping/attribution in CI UI (distinguish "new gate" vs "regression") -5. Spell check dictionary maintenance workflow (easier to add known-good usernames/terms) - -### CI Workflow Audit — March 23, 2026 - -**Status:** Conducted full audit of 15 workflow files. Brady's perception ("complete nightmare, 12,000 workflows") is not accurate — the codebase is lean, well-organized, and 99% authored by Brady (bradygaster + Copilot). - -**Key Findings:** -- **Total workflows:** 15 (7 load-bearing core, 7 admin/automation, 1 ghost) -- **Authorship:** bradygaster 46 commits (65%), Copilot 7 (10%), team 17 (24%) -- **v0.9.1 Scramble:** Copilot made 4 commits on 2026-03-23 trying to work around GitHub platform bug (workflow_dispatch returns 422 after file renames/deletes) -- **Ghost file identified:** `publish-npm.yml` (deleted but still in GitHub's workflow cache) → requires manual deletion via API -- **Zero duplication:** Each workflow has clear, non-overlapping responsibility -- **One optional cleanup:** `ci-rerun.yml` (useful but not essential) - -**Release Pipeline Quality:** -- Core pipeline (squad-ci → squad-release → squad-npm-publish → insider-*) is solid -- Smoke tests run before any npm publish (good safety gate) -- Implicit ordering works but fragile (squad-npm-publish depends on release: published event) - -**Triage Automation Quality:** -- Label routing (squad-triage, squad-issue-assign, squad-label-enforce) well-integrated -- Ralph heartbeat has cron disabled (event-driven only) -- Works correctly with @copilot assignment - -**Recommendation:** Delete ghost publish-npm.yml file, optionally keep ci-rerun for fork PR debugging, keep everything else. CI health is good. - -**Report written to:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/booster-ci-audit.md` - -### CI Cleanup & Hardening — Post-Audit - -**Changes shipped:** - -1. **Ghost workflow disabled** — `publish-npm.yml` (workflow ID 250121956) disabled via GitHub API (`PUT /actions/workflows/{id}/disable`). GitHub doesn't support DELETE on workflow entries; disable is the permanent fix. - -2. **Pre-publish `preflight` job added** to `squad-npm-publish.yml`: - - Scans ALL `packages/*/package.json` for `file:` references across all dependency sections (dependencies, devDependencies, optionalDependencies, peerDependencies) - - Validates all package versions are valid semver - - Runs BEFORE smoke-test and all publish jobs — blocks the entire pipeline if violations found - - This is the gate that would have caught the v0.9.1 incident - -3. **Smoke test enhanced** — Added `npm pack --dry-run` validation step for both SDK and CLI packages before the vitest smoke tests run - -4. **ci-rerun.yml retained** — Added purpose documentation comment. Still useful for fork PR re-testing and infrastructure flake recovery. - -5. **YAML fix** — Quoted `file:` in step names that were causing YAML parse ambiguity (both new and pre-existing) - -**Pipeline dependency chain:** `preflight → smoke-test → publish-sdk → publish-cli` - -### Release Process Skill Update — v0.9.4 Learnings (2026-04-25) - -Updated both release-process skill files (`.squad/skills/release-process/SKILL.md` and `.copilot/skills/release-process/SKILL.md`) with critical learnings from the v0.9.4 release session. Added 5 new Known Gotchas, a full `v0.9.4 Incident Learnings` section, GITHUB_TOKEN propagation workaround, CHANGELOG/root-package.json validation rules, lockfile integrity fix documentation, local dev recovery steps, and cross-references between skill files.

Added two new steps — "Lint canonical template source" and "Lint root mirror template workflows". Decision: lint all five directories from committed state (no sync step). Rationale: (a) bugs in canonical source are caught by the canonical lint step before sync propagates them; (b) mirror drift is already enforced by `template-sync.test.ts` as a separate gate. Sync-then-lint would test derived content, not what's committed. - -**Gap 2 fixed:** Installer script was fetched from `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rhysd/actionlint/main/scripts/download-actionlint.bash` — a moving ref, unpinned RCE surface.

Key findings: - -**CastingEngine is orphaned** — The SDK has a full universe-based casting system (`packages/squad-sdk/src/casting/casting-engine.ts`) with themed characters (The Usual Suspects, Ocean's Eleven), personality traits, backstories, and role-matching algorithms. **But no code calls it.** The CLI bypasses it with a hardcoded `personalityForRole()` function that generates generic personalities based on role patterns. - -**Config/team sync is one-way** — The REPL init flow generates team.md, routing.md, and registry.json when casting a team, but never updates squad.config.ts. Meanwhile, `squad init --sdk` generates squad.config.ts with only Scribe, missing Ralph and all other agents. The disconnect: CLI init writes a skeleton + prompt, REPL auto-cast generates the team, but the two paths never merge into a unified config. - -**Built-in agents are inconsistent** — Ralph is added by the REPL casting flow (`cli/core/cast.ts:385-386`) but not by SDK init (`cli/core/init.ts:109-115`). @copilot is a pseudo-agent — a Markdown table row inserted via `team-md.ts:insertCopilotSection()`, not a real agent with charter/history files. - -**Universe selection is a dead end** — The coordinator init prompt asks the LLM to pick a universe (line 52: "Pick a fictional universe for character names"), and the coordinator responds with `UNIVERSE: Alien`, which gets stored in `casting/history.json`... and then **nothing uses it**. There's no mapping from freeform universe names to CastingEngine templates. - -**The fix path is clear** — Three priority levels: -- **P0 (trivial):** Add Ralph to SDK init agents array, guide coordinator to existing CastingEngine universes -- **P1 (small/medium):** Integrate CastingEngine into CLI casting, make REPL init write squad.config.ts -- **P2 (design-heavy):** Decide config sync strategy (config-as-source vs. bidirectional), decide if @copilot should be a real agent - -Written full technical analysis to `.squad/identity/sdk-init-technical-analysis.md` with file/line references, complexity estimates, and actionable recommendations for Brady's PRD. - -**SDK patterns observed:** -- `defineSquad()` / `defineAgent()` builder pattern is clean and works well -- `configFormat` enum supports 'sdk' | 'typescript' | 'json' | 'markdown' — flexible but undertested -- Init flow is two-phase (CLI writes skeleton, REPL auto-casts) — intentional design but creates sync issues -- Template system in SDK (`templates/` directory) is well-structured, used correctly by `initSquad()` - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-11T01:25:00Z):** 5 SDK Init decisions merged to decisions.md: Phase-based quality improvement (3-phase approach), CastingEngine canonical casting, squad.config.ts as source of truth, Ralph always-included, implementation priority order.

Used `import.meta.url` + `fileURLToPath` to resolve the path from the compiled file (3 levels up to package root). Created `packages/squad-cli/templates/loop.md` since it was missing from the CLI package's templates dir. -3. **Docs:** Updated prerequisites to state `gh` + `gh copilot` are required by default, with `--agent-cmd` as the escape hatch. - -**Test impact:** Tests mock `node:fs` globally, so `readFileSync` in `generateLoopFile()` needed mock setup.

Active projects generating many decisions per session could hit 145KB+ — 35K tokens burned per agent spawn. - -**Fix:** Added a count-based fallback after the age-based split. When `old.length === 0` and total file size exceeds `DECISION_THRESHOLD` (20KB), the fallback separates recent entries into dated vs undated, sorts dated by age (most recent first), keeps entries that fit under the threshold budget, and archives the rest. Undated entries are always preserved — they are foundational directives per Procedures' guidance. - -**Key design choices:** -1. Undated entries (`daysAgo === null`) are never archived by the count-based fallback. They stay in `recent`. -2. Budget calculation accounts for header + undated entries + kept dated entries to guarantee the result fits under 20KB. -3. Entries are re-sorted into original document order after the split, so the output file preserves heading sequence. - -**Tests:** Added 4 adversarial tests — 50 all-today entries >20KB, mixed dated/undated preservation, under-threshold no-op, exact-threshold boundary case. - -**Pattern:** When a function has an early-return optimization (`if (old.length === 0) return null`), always consider whether the condition that triggered the function call (file size > threshold) can still be true when the early-return fires. If so, the early-return is a silent failure. - -### Init scaffolding: casting dir + no-remote stderr (#579) (2025-07-18) - -**Context:** `squad init` in a fresh `git init` repo (no remote) printed `error: No such remote 'origin'` to stderr and `squad doctor` reported `casting/registry.json` missing. Two independent bugs in `packages/squad-sdk/src/config/init.ts`. - -**Fix 1 — Stderr leak:** Three `execFileSync('git', ['remote', 'get-url', 'origin'])` calls in `initSquad()` were missing `stdio: ['pipe','pipe','pipe']`. The try/catch caught the error but git's stderr still leaked to the console. Added stdio piping to all three call sites (lines ~713, ~732, ~1039). - -**Fix 2 — Missing casting files:** The init flow created the `.squad/casting/` directory but never populated it. Added a scaffolding block after directory creation that copies `casting-policy.json`, `casting-registry.json`, and `casting-history.json` from SDK templates (with inline fallbacks). Respects `skipExisting` — never overwrites user files. - -**Pattern:** When calling `execFileSync` for a git command inside a try/catch, always add `stdio: ['pipe','pipe','pipe']` to suppress stderr. The catch prevents a crash, but without piped stdio the error message still prints to the user's terminal. - -### CLI Version Subcommand Pattern (2026-03-23 Release Incident) -**Context:** `squad version` returned "Unknown command: version" even though `squad --version` and `squad -v` worked fine. Classic "unwired command" bug but for a flag-to-subcommand gap rather than a missing import. - -**Pattern:** When a CLI flag works (`--foo`) but the equivalent subcommand doesn't (`foo`), the fix is almost always a single condition addition in `cli-entry.ts`. No separate command file needed for trivial handlers — inline alongside the flag handler. Added `cmd === 'version'` to the existing `--version`/`-v` condition. Also added `version` to help text command list. - -**Why inline works:** Trivial handlers that just print a value don't warrant their own module. Same output, same code path — no reason to split. Avoids adding a file the wiring test would require an import for. Precedent: `help` is also handled inline. - -### `squad version` subcommand (2026-07-15) - -**Context:** Running `squad version` returned "Unknown command: version" because the subcommand was never routed in `cli-entry.ts`, even though `--version` and `-v` flags worked fine. Classic "unwired command" bug class, but for a flag-to-subcommand gap rather than a missing import. - -**Fix:** Added `cmd === 'version'` to the existing `--version`/`-v` condition in `cli-entry.ts` (line ~130). Also added `version` to the help text command list. No new file in `cli/commands/` needed — this is a trivial inline handler, same as `--version`. The wiring test is unaffected since there's no separate command file. - -**Pattern:** When a CLI flag (`--foo`) works but the equivalent subcommand (`foo`) doesn't, the fix is almost always a single condition addition in `cli-entry.ts`. No separate command file needed for trivial handlers. - -### Privacy scrub messaging + EPERM + gitignore parent coverage (#549) (2026-07-14) - -**Context:** Upgrade footer message always said "Preserves user state" even when the email privacy scrub had run — a direct contradiction of what just happened. Two related issues in the same function: EPERM on read-only `.gitattributes` would crash the upgrade, and `.gitignore` would add redundant entries already covered by parent paths (e.g. `.squad/log/` when `.squad/` was already present). - -**Fix:** -1. `upgrade.ts` — `ensureGitattributes` catches EPERM/EACCES and returns `[]` with a console.warn, graceful degradation. -2. `upgrade.ts` — `ensureGitignore` skips an entry when any existing line is a parent prefix of it. -3. `upgrade.ts` — Footer logic checks whether the email scrub actually ran; shows "Privacy scrub applied" or "Preserves user state" accordingly. -4. `test/cli/upgrade.test.ts` — Added EPERM test using `chmodSync` (fix: `chmodSync` was missing from the `fs` import — added it). - -**Pattern:** When adding a new fs function to a test, always verify the named import list at the top of the test file. Missing named imports from `'fs'` produce `ReferenceError` at runtime, not at type-check time (if the test file isn't part of the main tsconfig). - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-22T09-35Z — Wave 1):** Economy mode fully implemented: ECONOMY_MODEL_MAP + resolveModel() integration in SDK, `squad economy on|off` CLI command, `--economy` flag, 34 tests passing. PR #504 open for review. Soft dependency: #464 rate limit UX should offer economy mode as recovery. Next: Phase 1 of ambient personal squad (T1–T5, T19) — ready to start immediately after merging current work. Procedures wrote governance proposals for squad.agent.md — awaiting Flight review. -### Rate Limit UX (#464) (2026-03-20) - -**Context:** Users hitting Copilot rate limits saw generic "Something went wrong processing your message." Squad hid the actual error. `squad doctor` reported nothing — useless to diagnose. - -**Root cause:** The catch block in `shell/index.ts` line ~1119 always emitted `genericGuidance()` unless `SQUAD_DEBUG=1`. Rate limit errors never got special treatment despite `RateLimitError` existing in `adapter/errors.ts`. - -**Fix:** -1. `error-messages.ts` — Added `rateLimitGuidance({ retryAfter?, model? })` and `extractRetryAfter(message)` utilities. Rate limit guidance shows clear message + recovery options (retry time, `squad economy on`, config.json model override). -2. `shell/index.ts` — Catch block now detects rate limits via `instanceof RateLimitError` OR regex on the raw message. Writes `.squad/rate-limit-status.json` on detection. -3. `doctor.ts` — Added `checkRateLimitStatus()` check. Reads status file and warns if rate limit was recent. -4. `test/error-messages.test.ts` — Added 11 new tests covering `rateLimitGuidance` and `extractRetryAfter`. - -**Pattern:** Rate limit status written to `.squad/rate-limit-status.json` as `{ timestamp, retryAfter, model, message }`. Doctor reads it on next run. File is never deleted automatically — doctor marks it `pass` when > 4h stale. - -**Import path for `RateLimitError`:** `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/adapter/errors` (subpath export, not in main barrel). - -**PR:** #464 fix — squad/464-rate-limit-ux - -### CLI Entry Point Architecture -cli-entry.ts is the central router for ~30+ CLI commands using dynamic imports (lazy-loading). Commands are routed via if-else blocks. Has a recurring "unwired command" bug class — implementations exist in cli/commands/ but aren't routed in cli-entry.ts. The cli-command-wiring.test.ts regression test catches this by verifying every .ts file in cli/commands/ is imported. - -### ESM Runtime Patch -Module._resolveFilename interceptor in cli-entry.ts (lines 47-54) patches broken ESM import in @github/copilot-sdk@0.1.32 (vscode-jsonrpc/node missing .js extension). Required for Node 24+ strict ESM enforcement. Works on npx cache hits where postinstall scripts don't run. - -### Lazy Import Pattern -All command imports use `await import('./cli/commands/xxx.js')` to minimize startup time. Copilot SDK is lazily loaded only when shell is invoked. All .js extensions required for Node 24+ strict ESM. - -### CLI Packaging & Distribution -`npm pack` produces a complete, installable tarball (~275KB packed, 1.2MB unpacked). Package includes dist/, templates/, scripts/, README.md per package.json "files" field. Postinstall script (patch-esm-imports.mjs) patches @github/copilot-sdk for Node 24+ compatibility. Tarball can be installed locally (`npm install ./tarball.tgz`) and commands execute via `node node_modules/@bradygaster/squad-cli/dist/cli-entry.js`. Both squad-cli and squad-sdk must be installed together — cli depends on sdk with "*" version specifier. All 27+ CLI commands are lazy-loaded at runtime; `--help` validates command routing without executing full logic. - -### Packaging Smoke Test Strategy -test/cli-packaging-smoke.test.ts validates the packaged artifact (not source). Uses npm pack + install in temp dir + command routing verification. Commands are expected to fail (no .squad/ dir) — test verifies routing only (no "Unknown command", no MODULE_NOT_FOUND for the command itself). Exception: node-pty is an optional dependency for the `start` command and MODULE_NOT_FOUND for node-pty is allowed. Windows cleanup requires retry logic due to EBUSY errors — use rmSync with maxRetries + retryDelay options, wrap in try/catch to fail silently since tests have passed. - -### v0.8.24 Release Readiness Audit -CLI completeness audit (2026-03-08) confirmed: 26 primary commands routed in cli-entry.ts, all present in smoke test. 4 aliases (watch→triage, workstreams→subsquads, remote-control→rc, streams→subsquads). 3 aliases tested, 1 untested ("streams"). Packaging verified: dist/, templates/, scripts/, README.md in tarball; bin entry points to dist/cli-entry.js; postinstall script included and working. All 32 smoke tests pass. Package.json files array correct. npm pack output shows 318 files, 275KB packed. No missing command implementations. Optional dep (node-pty) handled correctly. Only gap: "streams" alias not in smoke test (routed correctly but test coverage incomplete). Confidence: 95% — all critical paths covered, minor alias test gap non-blocking. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-08T21:18:00Z):** FIDO + EECOM released unanimous GO verdict for v0.8.24. Smoke test approved as release gate. FIDO confirmed 32/32 pass + publish.yml wired correctly. EECOM confirmed 26/26 commands + packaging complete (minor gap: "streams" alias untested, non-blocking). - -### Cross-Platform Filename and Config Fixes (#348, #356) (2026-03-15T05:30:00Z) - -**Context:** Two cross-platform bugs broke Squad on Windows: (1) log filenames contained colons in ISO 8601 timestamps (illegal on Windows), (2) `.squad/config.json` contained absolute machine-specific `teamRoot` path. - -**Investigation:** -- Searched SDK for all timestamp usage in filenames — found `safeTimestamp()` utility already existed but wasn't consistently used -- `comms-file-log.ts` (line 32) used inline `toISOString().replace(/:/g, '-')` instead of utility -- `init.ts` (line 612) wrote absolute `teamRoot` to config.json on every init -- Session-store already used `safeTimestamp()` correctly (line 71) - -**Fixes:** -1. **Bug #348:** Updated `comms-file-log.ts` to import and use `safeTimestamp()` utility instead of inline timestamp formatting -2. **Bug #356:** Removed `teamRoot` field from config.json (can be computed at runtime via `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`) -3. Updated live `.squad/config.json` in repo to remove machine-specific path - -**Pattern:** Centralized timestamp formatting in `safeTimestamp()` utility (replaces colons + truncates milliseconds). Windows-safe format: `2026-03-15T05-30-00Z` instead of `2026-03-15T05:30:00.123Z`. - -**Test Impact:** All 150 tests pass. Communication adapter test doesn't validate specific filename format (structural test, not behavioral). - -**PR:** #404 opened targeting dev. - -### CastingEngine CLI Integration (#342) (2026-03-15T11:20:00Z) - -**Context:** CastingEngine class (Issue #138, M3-2) existed in SDK with curated universe templates (The Usual Suspects, Ocean's Eleven) but was completely bypassed during `squad init`. LLM picked arbitrary names, and charter generation used regex-based `personalityForRole()` instead of template backstories. - -**Investigation:** -- CastingEngine.castTeam() was never called in CLI flow -- coordinator.ts buildInitModePrompt() let LLM pick any universe without guidance -- cast.ts generateCharter() used fallback personality logic instead of engine data -- SDK exports two AgentRole types: broad one in casting-engine.ts, restrictive one in runtime/constants.ts - -**Integration Strategy (Augment, Not Replace):** -- LLM still proposes roles and team composition (the beloved casting experience) -- CastingEngine augments with curated names when universe is recognized -- Mapping: "The Usual Suspects" → 'usual-suspects', "Ocean's Eleven" → 'oceans-eleven' -- Unrecognized universes (Matrix, Alien, etc.) preserve LLM's arbitrary names - -**Implementation:** -1. Added `augmentWithCastingEngine()` in cast.ts to replace LLM names with engine characters -2. Updated coordinator prompt to suggest preferred universes (Usual Suspects, Ocean's Eleven) -3. Extended `generateCharter()` to use engine personalities/backstories when available -4. Attached `_personality` and `_backstory` to CastMember objects for charter generation -5. Role mapping: CLI role strings → engine AgentRole enum (lead, developer, tester, etc.) - -**Type Import Pattern:** -- Import CastingEngine from `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/casting` (not main barrel export) -- Use casting-engine.ts AgentRole type (9 roles) not runtime/constants.ts (6 roles) -- Partial mapping: unmapped roles log warning and skip engine casting - -**Tests:** -- Created test/casting-engine-integration.test.ts (5 tests, all pass) -- Validates augmentation for both universes, case-insensitive matching, fallback behavior -- All 45 existing cast-parser/casting tests still pass - -**PR:** #417 opened targeting dev. - - -### PR #427 Cross-Fork Rebase (2026-03-15T21:00:00Z) - -**Context:** PR #427 (PAO external communications Phase 1) conflicted with upstream/dev after team recast (#423 Usual Suspects → Apollo 13) and model updates. Cross-repo PR (diberry/squad → bradygaster/squad). Initial rebase attempts failed due to git worktree confusion — main worktree was checked out to a different branch, causing git checkout commands to silently switch to wrong branches. - -**Problem:** Git commands (checkout, rebase) kept switching to unrelated branches (squad/agent-on-disk-concept, squad/320-fix-migration-guide-version-local) mid-rebase. Root cause: main worktree at C:\Users\diberry\repos\project-squad\squad was checked out to squad/agent-on-disk-concept. Git was treating checkout commands as worktree operations and switching the main worktree's HEAD, aborting the rebase. - -**Solution:** Created dedicated worktree (.worktrees/pao-rebase) for the rebase operation. This isolated the rebase from main worktree state and prevented branch switching. - -**Conflict Resolution (3 files, 7 commits rebased):** -1. **.squad/agents/_alumni/mcmanus/charter.md** - Merged both rule sets: DOCS-TEST SYNC (from upstream reskill) and EXTERNAL COMMS, HUMANIZER, AUDIT TRAIL (from PR #427). Used PowerShell regex to extract and combine both sides. -2. **.squad/routing.md** - Accepted Apollo 13 team names (EECOM, PAO, FIDO) from upstream via `git checkout --ours` (in rebase context, "ours" = upstream, "theirs" = our branch). PAO external comms infrastructure is team-agnostic. -3. **.squad/agents/keaton/history.md** - Accepted deletion via `git rm` (file moved to _alumni in upstream recast). - -**Rebase Commits:** 7 commits from squad/426-pao-external-comms rebased onto upstream/dev (f87a7a5), covering #423 team reskill, #424 SDK switch, #425/#428 test parity, #429 model updates. - -**Force Push:** `git push origin squad/426-pao-external-comms --force-with-lease` succeeded. PR #427 comment posted via gh CLI. - -**Pattern:** When working with git worktrees, always create a dedicated worktree for complex operations (rebase, cherry-pick) to avoid main worktree state interference. Use `git worktree list` to diagnose unexpected branch switching. -### SDK Init Flow Deep Dive (2026-03-08) -Traced complete `squad init --sdk` flow end-to-end for unified PRD. Key findings: (1) Init flow has two phases: CLI init creates skeleton files, REPL auto-cast creates team members. (2) Critical gap: squad.config.ts is never updated after auto-cast — members exist in .squad/ but not in config. (3) Ralph is inconsistently created (auto-cast yes, CLI init no). (4) No commands exist for adding/removing members post-init. (5) CastingEngine class exists but is never called during init — LLM-based Init Mode prompt is used instead. Roadmap written to .squad/identity/sdk-init-implementation-roadmap.md with 7 fixes prioritized by dependency graph. Critical path: sync utility → Ralph fixes → CastingEngine integration → hire/remove commands. High-risk items: squad.config.ts AST parsing (considered regex alternative). Open questions: AST vs regex for config sync, CastingEngine augment vs replace LLM, Ralph always-on vs opt-in. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-11T01:25:00Z):** SDK Init decisions finalized: Phase-based quality improvement program, CastingEngine canonical casting, squad.config.ts as source of truth, Ralph always-included, implementation priority order (sync utility first, then Ralph fixes, then CastingEngine integration). All decisions merged to decisions.md. Ready to start Phase 1 implementation. - -### Adoption Tracking Tier 1 Implementation (2026-03-10) -Implemented Flight's privacy-first adoption monitoring strategy on PR #326 branch. Moved `.squad/adoption/` → `.github/adoption/` for better GitHub integration. Stripped tracking.md to aggregate-only metrics (removed all individual repo names/URLs). Updated GitHub Action workflow (adoption-report.yml) and monitoring script (scripts/adoption-monitor.mjs) to write reports to `.github/adoption/reports/`. Removed "Built with Squad" showcase link from README.md (deferred to Tier 2 opt-in feature). This honors the principle: collect aggregate metrics via public APIs, but never publish individual repo lists without explicit consent. Test discipline: verified npm run build passes; docs-build.test.ts passed structure tests (Astro build failure unrelated to changes). Committed with clear message explaining privacy rationale. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-10T12-55-49Z):** Adoption tracking Tier 1 complete and merged to decisions.md. Privacy-first architecture confirmed: aggregate metrics only, opt-in for individual repos, public showcase only when 5+ projects opt in. Append-only file governance enforced (no deletions in history.md or decisions.md). Microsoft ampersand style guide adopted for documentation. - -### Issue Triage (2026-03-22T06:44:01Z) - -**Flight triaged 6 unlabeled issues and filed 1 new issue.** - -EECOM assigned: -- **#481 (StorageProvider PRD)** → squad:control + squad:eecom (type system abstraction + runtime integration) -- **#479 (history-shadow race condition)** → squad:eecom + squad:retro (production bug; mitigation through StorageProvider atomicity) - -Pattern: Three architectural gaps identified (agent spec, state abstraction, quality tooling) + one production bug. StorageProvider abstraction critical for #479 atomicity fix. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-22T06:44:01Z):** Flight issued comprehensive triage. EECOM owns StorageProvider PRD spec (#481) + history-shadow race mitigation (#479). Ready to begin implementation on next sprint. - -### PR #483 Review & Merge — Platform Adapter Timeout Fix (2026-03-22) - -Reviewed and merged diberry's fix for platform-adapter test timeouts that were blocking all 8 open PRs. Root cause: `getAvailableWorkItemTypes()` called `execFileSync('az', ...)` with no timeout — in CI where az CLI is installed but no real ADO org exists, it hangs indefinitely until Vitest kills it at 5s. - -**Fix pattern:** `{ ...EXEC_OPTS, timeout: 3_000 }` — spread existing exec options and add a 3-second timeout. The existing catch block already returns sensible default work item types, so timeout errors fall through gracefully. This is the correct pattern for any external CLI call that might hang: add a timeout to execFileSync and ensure the catch block has a fallback. - -**Rebase note:** Branch was already clean on top of dev (1 commit ahead, no divergence). No rebase was needed. - -📌 **Team update:** PR #483 merged (squash). This unblocks CI for all open PRs that were failing on platform-adapter test timeouts. The remaining CI failure across PRs is the broken docs link (separate issue). - -### PR #480 Review & Merge — History Race Condition Fix (2026-03-22) - -Reviewed and merged PR #480 (async mutex + atomic writes + 14 tests). Addresses race condition in history-shadow file operations under concurrent load. - -**Fix pattern:** Race conditions in history operations require three-layer defense: (1) async mutex for write serialization, (2) atomic file operations (write-then-rename), (3) comprehensive test coverage (14 tests for edge cases). This pattern applies to any persistent state under concurrent access. - -**Key learning:** File system race conditions aren't just "add a lock" — need atomicity guarantees (rename is atomic), serialization (mutex), and exhaustive test coverage to validate edge cases (concurrent writes, stale reads, partial failures). - -### PR #486 Review & Merge — SIGINT Handling (2026-03-22) - -Reviewed and merged PR #486 (two-layer signal handling + 22 tests). Improves graceful shutdown under SIGINT (Ctrl+C) by cleaning up both parent and child processes. - -**Fix pattern:** Signal handling in Node.js requires two layers: (1) parent process SIGINT handler that triggers graceful shutdown, (2) child process cleanup (kill child processes, close file handles, flush buffers). Incomplete cleanup leaves zombie processes or orphaned file locks. Test coverage essential: 22 tests verify process tree cleanup, signal propagation, and edge cases (nested children, immediate re-signals). - -**Key learning:** SIGINT handling is more complex than "add a signal handler" — need explicit child process cleanup logic + comprehensive tests. Pattern applies to any process spawning child processes (CLI spawning subshells, REPL spawning child REPL instances, etc.). -### Economy Mode Implementation (#500) (2026-03-20) - -**Context:** Issue #500 requested economy mode — a session-level and persistent modifier that shifts model selection to cheaper alternatives. - -**Architecture decision:** Economy mode is a Layer 3/4 modifier only. Layers 0–2 (explicit user preferences: config.json, session directive, charter) are never downgraded. This preserves user intent while enabling cost savings on auto-selected tasks. - -**Implementation:** -1. `ECONOMY_MODEL_MAP` + `applyEconomyMode()` in `config/models.ts` — pure mapping function for premium→standard and standard→fast downgrades -2. `readEconomyMode()` + `writeEconomyMode()` — config.json read/write functions (same merge-without-clobber pattern as `writeModelPreference()`) -3. `resolveModel()` in `config/models.ts` updated with `economyMode?: boolean` option; falls back to reading from `squadDir` if not provided -4. `resolveModel()` in `agents/model-selector.ts` updated with `economyMode?: boolean` — both SDK resolvers are economy-aware -5. `squad economy [on|off]` command in CLI for persistent toggle -6. `--economy` global flag in `cli-entry.ts` sets `SQUAD_ECONOMY_MODE=1` env var for session scope -7. 34 new tests in `test/economy-mode.test.ts` — all pass - -**Key pattern:** Both resolveModel implementations follow identical principle: explicit overrides (user choice) are sacred; economy only affects computed auto-selection. - -**PR:** #500 branch `squad/500-economy-mode` - -### node:sqlite Hard-Fail Fix (#502) (2026-03-21) - -**Context:** Workshop participants (reported by Doron Ben Elazar) were blocked by `ERR_UNKNOWN_BUILTIN_MODULE` crashes. `node:sqlite` (used by Copilot SDK for session storage) requires Node 22.5.0+. The existing soft-warn-and-continue approach let users limp into a cryptic crash. - -**Root cause:** `engines.node` said `>=20` but `node:sqlite` needs `>=22.5.0`. The pre-flight check warned but didn't exit, so users saw confusing failures deep in SDK code. - -**Fix:** -1. **cli-entry.ts:** Replaced `try { await import('node:sqlite') } catch { warn }` with a synchronous version check that calls `process.exit(1)` immediately with a clear upgrade message. Removed the now-dead `checkNodeSqlite()` function and its call site. -2. **doctor.ts:** Added `checkNodeVersion()` to `squad doctor` — exported with optional version param for testability. -3. **package.json (×3):** Corrected `engines.node` to `>=22.5.0` so npm/npx warn at install time. -4. **Tests:** 5 new tests for `checkNodeVersion()` (Node 20.x fail, 22.4.x fail, 22.5.0 pass, 24.x pass, current env pass). Updated check-count assertion. - -**Pattern:** git branch confusion — `git checkout -b` switches HEAD but edits to files on wrong branch are lost when switching. Always confirm `git branch` before making file edits. File edits don't follow you to a new branch if you forgot to switch first. - -**PR:** #506 branch `squad/502-node-sqlite-dependency` - -### Rate Limit Recovery UX (#464) (2026-03-22) - -**Context:** Rate limit errors showed generic message with no actionable recovery. Brady directive: offer model switching + economy mode as recovery options. - -**Implementation:** -1. `error-messages.ts` — `rateLimitGuidance()` shows actual reason + 3 recovery options (retry time, `squad economy on`, config.json model override) -2. `shell/index.ts` — Detects rate limits via `instanceof RateLimitError` or regex; writes `.squad/rate-limit-status.json` -3. `doctor.ts` — `checkRateLimitStatus()` reads status file and warns if recent -4. 36 new tests — all pass - -**PR:** #505 `squad/464-rate-limit-ux` — merged (rebased after #504) - -### Session 2 Summary (2026-03-22) - -Executed 3 tasks across 2 waves: economy mode (#500, PR #504), node:sqlite fix (#502, PR #506), rate limit UX (#464, PR #505). All PRs merged to dev. - - -### Personal Squad Init via npx (#576) (2026-03-23) - -**Context:** `init --global` (used via npx to set up personal squad) created a full `.squad/` structure at `~/.config/squad/` but never created the `personal-squad/` subdirectory. `resolvePersonalSquadDir()` looks for `personal-squad/`, so subsequent repo-level `init` couldn't discover the user's personal agents. - -**Root cause:** Two separate concepts - `init --global` scaffolds a full squad, `personal init` creates `personal-squad/`. The `--global` flag never bridged between them. - -**Fix:** -1. `resolution.ts` - Added `ensurePersonalSquadDir()` idempotent helper to SDK. -2. `cli-entry.ts` - `init --global` now suppresses workflows and passes `isGlobal` flag. -3. `init.ts` - After global init, calls `ensurePersonalSquadDir()`. After repo init, detects personal squad. -4. `personal.ts` - Refactored to reuse `ensurePersonalSquadDir()`. -5. `resolution.test.ts` - Added 3 tests. - -**Pattern:** `resolveGlobalSquadPath()` returns the container; `ensurePersonalSquadDir()` creates the subdirectory the rest of the system looks for. -📌 **Team update (2026-03-25T18:11Z):** Fixed #590 personal squad path regression — getPersonalSquadRoot() now uses canonical personal-squad/ subdirectory like esolvePersonalSquadDir() and nsurePersonalSquadDir(). Committed on squad/590-fix-personal-squad-root. FIDO found same bug in shell/index.ts → work passed to CONTROL for full sweep revision.

When PRs add new content files, verify the corresponding test arrays are updated. Consider dynamic discovery pattern (used for blog posts) for resilience against content additions. Stale assertions that block CI are FIDO's responsibility. - -### PR Quality Gate Pattern -Verdict scale: GO (merge), FAIL (block until fixed), NO-GO (reject). Always verify: test discipline (assertions synced), CI status (distinguish pre-existing vs new failures), content accuracy, cross-reference validity. When detecting CI failures, run baseline comparison (dev branch vs PR branch) to isolate regressions. - -### Name-Agnostic Testing -Tests reading live .squad/ files must assert structure/behavior, not specific agent names. Names change during team rebirths. Two test classes: live-file tests (survive rebirths, property checks) and inline-fixture tests (self-contained, can hardcode). - -### Dynamic Content Discovery -Blog tests use filesystem discovery (readdirSync) instead of hardcoded arrays. Pattern: discover from disk, sort, validate build output exists. - -### Command Wiring Regression Test -cli-command-wiring.test.ts prevents "unwired command" bug: verifies every .ts file in commands/ is imported in cli-entry.ts. Bidirectional validation. - -### CLI Packaging Smoke Test -cli-packaging-smoke.test.ts validates packaged CLI artifact (npm pack → install → execute). Tests 27 commands + 3 aliases. Catches: missing imports, broken exports, bin misconfiguration, ESM resolution failures. Windows cleanup requires retry logic (EBUSY errors) — use rmSync with maxRetries + retryDelay, wrap in try/catch. - -### Agent Name Extraction Test Coverage (#577) -Extracted inline regex-based agent name parsing from `shell/index.ts` into testable pure function `parseAgentFromDescription` in `shell/agent-name-parser.ts`. 30 tests across 7 categories. 3-tier matching: (1) leading emoji+name+colon regex, (2) name+colon anywhere, (3) fuzzy word-boundary match. Shell index.ts delegates to this function. - -### Init Scaffolding Completeness Tests (#579) -`test/init-scaffolding.test.ts` — 15 tests: casting directory scaffolding (verifies .squad/casting/ + all 3 JSON files), no-remote resilience (init succeeds without git remote), doctor validation after init (zero failures). Follows existing test conventions — vitest, randomBytes temp dirs in cwd, compiled dist imports. - -### Personal Squad Init Discovery Tests (#576) -`test/personal-squad-init.test.ts` — 35 tests, 10 describe blocks. Key finding: `resolvePersonalSquadDir()` is install-method-agnostic — resolves from env vars and `os.homedir()`, never from `process.argv`. npx issue #576 is NOT in path resolution but in CLI command wiring or `--global` flag routing. SDK layer works correctly. - -### Publish Policy CI Gate (#557) -Added `publish-policy` job to squad-ci.yml: scans `.github/workflows/*.yml` for bare `npm publish` commands missing `-w`/`--workspace`. `test/publish-policy.test.ts` (36 tests). Meta-references (echo, grep, YAML name keys) must be excluded from lint. - -### PR Review Batch — Community PRs -Community contributors consistently struggle with: (a) scoped npm package names in changesets (use `@bradygaster/squad-cli` not `squad-cli`), (b) monorepo file placement (skills in `packages/squad-cli/templates/skills/`). Both preventable with better contributor docs. Changeset package name mismatch is most common error (4/9 Tamir PRs). - -📌 **Team update (2026-07-29T17:11:56+10:00 — Issue #1556 / PR #1557):** A new required CI check `squad-workflow-lint` now exists in `.github/workflows/squad-workflow-lint.yml`. It runs actionlint 1.7.12 + shellcheck 0.10.0 against all 5 workflow/template directories, including the canonical `.squad-templates/workflows/` sources. FIDO should treat this as a required gate alongside existing CI checks — PRs that introduce SC2086, unquoted variables, or invalid action syntax in workflow files will fail this check. All known SC2086 findings across Squad's own workflows were fixed in PR #1557. -cli-packaging-smoke.test.ts validates packaged CLI artifact (npm pack → install → execute).

Created 30 tests across 7 categories: happy path, emoji variations, case insensitivity, fuzzy fallback, no-match, edge cases, and adversarial inputs. The function uses a 3-tier matching strategy: (1) leading emoji+name+colon regex, (2) name+colon anywhere regex, (3) fuzzy word-boundary match against known agent names. Shell index.ts now imports and delegates to this function. Build and tests green. - -**Learning:** Inline regex logic in UI code is untestable and fragile.

Agent name extraction refactor shipped: FIDO's parser module (30 tests, all passing), VOX's 3-tier cascading patterns, Procedures' spawn template standardization. All decisions merged to decisions.md. Agent IDs now display correctly in Copilot CLI. Canonical patterns: `agent-name-parser.ts` is source of truth for extraction logic. -### Init Scaffolding Completeness Tests (#579) - -Added `test/init-scaffolding.test.ts` — 15 tests covering three gaps exposed by issue #579: - -1. **Casting directory scaffolding** — After `initSquad()` and `runInit()`, verifies `.squad/casting/` directory and all three JSON files (registry.json, policy.json, history.json) exist and parse as valid JSON. Also confirms re-init does not overwrite existing casting files. - -2. **No-remote resilience** — Confirms init succeeds without errors when: git repo has no remote configured, brand-new `git init` repo, or no git at all. Uses `execFileSync` to create isolated git repos in temp dirs. - -3. **Doctor validation after init** — Runs `runDoctor()` against a freshly-initialized directory and asserts zero failures, specifically that `casting/registry.json exists` check passes. Also tests negative cases (missing file → fail, corrupt JSON → fail). - -Pattern: Tests follow existing `test/cli/init.test.ts` and `test/cli/doctor.test.ts` conventions — vitest, `randomBytes` temp dirs in cwd, imports from compiled dist via package exports (`@bradygaster/squad-cli/core/init`, `@bradygaster/squad-cli/commands/doctor`, `@bradygaster/squad-sdk`). - -Commit: 7660a27 on branch squad/579-init-scaffolding-hardening. - -### Personal Squad Init Discovery Tests (#576) - -**Task:** Write tests for personal squad discovery and init flows (Issue #576 — npx init --global not discovering personal squad). - -**Test file:** `test/personal-squad-init.test.ts` — 35 tests, 10 describe blocks, all passing. - -**Coverage areas:** -1. `resolveGlobalSquadPath()` — platform-specific path resolution (Windows APPDATA, Linux XDG_CONFIG_HOME, consistency) -2. `resolvePersonalSquadDir()` — kill-switch (SQUAD_NO_PERSONAL), directory existence, npx-agnostic discovery -3. `personalInit` contract — directory structure creation, config.json shape, idempotency -4. `resolveSquadPaths()` — personalDir field inclusion, null when disabled -5. Edge: empty personal-squad dir (exists but no agents/) -6. Edge: partial state (agent dirs without charter.md, missing Role metadata defaults to "personal", stray files skipped) -7. `mergeSessionCast()` — project-wins precedence, case-insensitive collision, empty inputs -8. `ensureSquadPathTriple()` — personal dir in allowed roots, null personalDir graceful handling -9.

Pattern: one issue per root cause + one per action item. Use descriptive titles linking to specific improvements (e.g., "#556 Dependency validation in pre-publish checks"). Let team pick up issues in priority order. This accelerates fixes and creates accountability. - -### Release Governance Directives (2026-03-23) -Brady established strict release governance: (1) Surgeon owns all publishing (not Coordinator); (2) strict adherence to playbook; (3) document problems so they don't recur; (4) CI/CD is top priority; (5) written playbooks for everything; (6) no improvisation. Captured for team memory and enforced in team decisions. - -### Adoption Tracking Architecture -Three-tier opt-in system: Tier 1 (aggregate-only, `.github/adoption/`) ships first; Tier 2 (opt-in registry) designed next; Tier 3 (public showcase) launches when ≥5 projects opt in. `.squad/` is for team state only, not adoption data. Never list individual repos without owner consent. - -### Remote Squad Access -Three-phase rollout: Phase 1 — GitHub Discussions bot with `/squad` command (1 day, zero hosting). Phase 2 — GitHub Copilot Extension via Contents API (1 week). Phase 3 — Slack/Teams bot (2 weeks). Constraint: any remote solution must solve `.squad/` context access. - -### Content Triage Skill -"Squad Ships It" litmus test codified into reusable workflow. Triggered by `content-triage` label. Output: boundary analysis, sub-issues for PAO (doc extraction), IRL reference for Scribe. Content labels: `content:blog`, `content:sample`, `content:video`, `content:talk`. - -### Distributed Mesh Integration -Zero code changes. Skill files in templates/skills/, scripts in scripts/mesh/, docs in features/. mesh.json stays separate from squad.config.ts. Convention-first additive layer — invisible if unused. 125:1 ratio (30 lines of script vs 3,756 lines of deleted federation code). - -### Sprint Prioritization Pattern -Rank by: (1) bugs with active user impact, (2) quality/test gaps blocking GA, (3) high-ROI features unblocking downstream work. Interleave stability (bugs/quality) with velocity (features) across sprint capacity. - -**Updated wisdom.md with 4 patterns + 2 anti-patterns from recent work:** Test name-agnosticism for team rebirths, dynamic filesystem discovery for evolving content, cli-entry.ts unwired command bug pattern, bump-build.mjs version mutation timing, invalid semver formats, git reset data loss. - -**Issue triage attempted for 30 open issues:** Identified 10 unlabeled issues requiring squad assignment. Enterprise Managed User permissions blocked GitHub API label updates via `gh issue edit`. Triage analysis complete: -- SDK issues (#337, #342) → squad:eecom + squad:capcom (init flow + casting engine) -- Personal squad (#343, #344) → squad:flight (architecture territory) -- A2A protocol (#332-336) → squad:flight + domain experts (network, vox, retro, eecom) -- Tooling layers (#330) → squad:eecom + squad:procedures -Manual label application needed by repo owner. - -**SDK Init Shore-Up PRD created:** Consolidated 6 SDK-related issues (#337-342, #340-341) into unified 3-phase initiative at `.squad/identity/prd-sdk-init-shoreup.md`.

Solution: Phase 1 fixes gaps (P1), Phase 2 wires CastingEngine (P1), Phase 3 exercises full test matrix (P2). Estimated 4 sprints to 100% SDK feature parity.

Applied `next-up` label to 10 priority items (bugs, easy wins, docs improvements). All triaged issues now have clear ownership and next steps. - -**PR Pipeline:** Reviewed and rebased 8 PRs across EECOM, GNC, and PAO. All merged successfully. Key patterns documented for team reuse: -- **az CLI timeouts** (PR #483): External CLI calls need explicit timeouts + fallback handling -- **History race conditions** (PR #480): File operations require mutex + atomic writes + exhaustive tests -- **Signal handling** (PR #486): SIGINT cleanup needs two-layer approach (parent + child cleanup) -- **ESM exports** (PR #474): Node 22 compatibility requires exports map + file existence validation -- **Broken docs links** (PR #487): Automated link validation should be CI gate - -Test coverage expanded: 36 new tests (EECOM) + 4655+ total passing (GNC report). - -**Coordinator actions:** Filed #488 (GitHub auth documentation), created `next-up` label, labeled 10 priority issues for next sprint focus. -📌 **Team update (2026-03-10T12-55-49Z):** Adoption tracking architecture finalized. Three-tier system approved: Tier 1 (aggregate-only, `.github/adoption/`) shipping with PR #326; Tier 2 (opt-in registry) designed for next PR; Tier 3 (public showcase) launches when ≥5 projects opt in. Append-only file governance rule enforced to prevent data loss. Microsoft ampersand style guide adopted for all user-facing documentation. - -### PR #331 Review — Boundary Review Pattern Reinforced (2026-03-10) -Approved PR #331 ("docs: scenario and feature guides from blog analysis") for merge. PAO's boundary review (remove external infrastructure docs, reframe platform features to clarify scope, keep Squad behavior/config docs) was executed correctly. Key decisions: (1) ralph-operations.md and proactive-communication.md deleted — both document infrastructure around Squad, not Squad itself; (2) issue-templates.md reframed to clarify "GitHub feature configured for Squad" not "Squad feature"; (3) reviewer-protocol.md Trust Levels section kept — documents user choice spectrum within Squad's existing review system. Litmus test pattern: if Squad doesn't ship the code/config, it's IRL content. Docs-test sync maintained. Pattern reinforced as reusable boundary review heuristic for future doc PRs. - -**Adoption tracking architecture — three-tier opt-in system:** `.squad/` is for team state only, not adoption data (boundary pattern). Move tracking to `.github/adoption/`. Never list individual repos without owner consent — aggregate metrics only until opt-in exists. Tier 1 (ship now) = aggregate monitoring. Tier 2 (design next) = opt-in registry in `.github/adoption/registry.json`. Tier 3 (launch later) = public showcase once ≥5 projects opt in. Monitoring infra (GitHub Action + script) is solid — keep it. Privacy-first architecture: code search results are public data, but individual listings require consent. - -**Remote Squad access — three-phase rollout:** Phase 1 (ship first): GitHub Discussions bot with `/squad` command. Workflow checks out repo → has full `.squad/` context → answers questions → posts reply. 1 day build, zero hosting, respects repo privacy automatically. Phase 2 (high value): GitHub Copilot Extension — fetches `.squad/` files via GitHub API, answers inline in any Copilot client (VS Code, CLI, mobile). Works truly remote, instant, no cold start. 1 week build. Phase 3 (enterprise): Slack/Teams bot for companies. Webhook + GitHub API fetch. 2 weeks build. Constraint: Squad needs `.squad/` state (team.md, decisions.md, histories, routing) to answer intelligently. Any remote solution must solve context access. GitHub Actions workflows solve this for free (checkout gives full state). Copilot Extension uses Contents API. Discussions wins for MVP because it's async (perfect for knowledge queries), persistent (answers are searchable), and zero infra. Proposal-first: write `docs/proposals/remote-squad-access.md` before building. - -### Content Triage Skill Codified (2026-03-10) -Created `.squad/skills/content-triage/SKILL.md` to codify the boundary heuristic from PR #331. Defines repeatable workflow for triaging external content (blog posts, sample repos, videos, talks) to determine what belongs in Squad's public docs vs IRL tracking. Key components: (1) "Squad Ships It" litmus test — if Squad doesn't ship the code/config, it's IRL content; (2) triage workflow triggered by `content-triage` label or external content reference in issue body; (3) output format with boundary analysis, sub-issues for PAO (doc extraction), and IRL reference entry for Scribe; (4) label convention (`content:blog`, `content:sample`, `content:video`, `content:talk`); (5) Ralph integration for routing to Flight, creating sub-issues, and notifying Scribe. Examples include Tamir blog analysis (PR #331), sample repo with ops patterns, and conference talk. Pattern prevents infrastructure docs from polluting Squad's public docs while ensuring community content accelerates adoption through proper extraction and referencing. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-11T01:27:57Z):** Content triage skill finalized; "Squad Ships It" boundary heuristic codified into shared team decision (decisions.md). Remote Squad access phased rollout approved (Discussions bot → Copilot Extension → Chat bot). PR #331 boundary review pattern established as standard for all doc PRs. Triage workflow enables Flight to scale as community content accelerates. - ---- - -### Issue Triage — 6 Unlabeled Issues Routed (2026-03-20) - -Triaged and labeled 6 unlabeled issues using routing table: - -- **#485 (Agent Specification PRD)** → squad:flight + squad:procedures — Architecture decision (Flight) + formal spec structure (Procedures) -- **#481 (StorageProvider PRD)** → squad:control + squad:eecom — Type system abstraction (CONTROL) + runtime integration (EECOM) -- **#479 (history-shadow race condition)** → squad:eecom + squad:retro — Production data loss bug; mitigation through StorageProvider atomicity -- **#478 (Polish REPL)** → squad:vox + squad:pao — Shell UX readiness (VOX) + README documentation gate (PAO) -- **#477 (Code Quality Linting PRD)** → squad:fido — Monorepo async/promise quality, ESLint 9 PoC ready -- **#476 (Guide v0.4.1 update)** → squad:handbook + squad:pao — SDK patterns + documentation - -Key pattern: PRDs cluster around three architectural gaps (agent spec, state abstraction, quality tooling) + one production bug (#479). Guide update high community value. -### Ambient Personal Squad Architecture Review (#329 + #344) - -**Design validated:** The `flight-ambient-personal-squad.md` proposal is structurally sound. Key finding: `multi-squad.ts` already stores personal squad paths as direct dirs (`squads/{name}/`) with no nested `.squad/` subfolder — the "each team IS the squad root" convention is already the implementation, not a change needed. - -**Five gaps found in the design doc:** -1. No `resolvePersonalAgents()` function signature — added in implementation plan (T2). -2. Scenario 9 contradiction: personal agents wrote to project orchestration log, violating ghost protocol. Resolution: coordinator writes audit trail (project state), not the personal agent. -3. `--team-root` scope was undefined. Decision: additive CLI flag on `squad init`, backward compat with existing `config.json` teamRoot. -4. `squad personal init` was missing — bootstrapping path for first-time users. Added as T6 subcommand. -5. `SQUAD_NO_PERSONAL` env var was in Open Questions but absent from phases. Added to T1. - -**Architecture decision:** Need `ensureSquadPathTriple` in `resolution.ts` (T4) — personal agents write to a third root (personal squad dir). Without it, ghost protocol is advisory-only and not enforced by path guards in SDK. - -**Phasing:** Four PRs. MVP = PR #1 (SDK Foundation) + PR #3 (Governance). Users see ambient cast immediately; `squad personal` commands are quality-of-life on top. - -**Implementation plan written to:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/flight-329-344-implementation-plan.md` - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-24):** Ambient personal squad design reviewed and approved with 5 gaps identified and resolved. Implementation plan broken into 4 PRs across EECOM (SDK + CLI), Procedures (governance), and Sims (tests). MVP path = SDK foundation + governance updates. Phased to avoid one giant PR. - -### Session 2 Summary (2026-03-22) - -Wave 1 architecture work on #329/#344: validated 20KB personal squad design doc, identified and patched 5 gaps, authored 19-task implementation plan spanning 4 future PRs. Implementation not yet started — deferred to future session. EECOM assigned Phase 1–2 (SDK + CLI), Procedures assigned Phase 3 (governance), Sims assigned Phase 4 (tests). - -### Community PR Batch Review — July 2026 - -Five open community PRs reviewed: - -- **#524 (diberry)** — Astro docs improvements (sitemap, RSS, schema fields, ToC component, robots.txt). ✅ Merge-ready. Flag: `robots.txt` Sitemap URL points to `squad.dev` while `astro.config.mjs` still uses `bradygaster.github.io` — minor URL inconsistency to address. -- **#523 (diberry)** — Worktree-aware `detectSquadDir` + `resolveWorktreeMainCheckout` + init guard. ✅ Merge-ready. Directly addresses the worktree gap flagged in #525. Clean implementation; interactive TTY prompt with sensible default. -- **#522 (tamirdresher)** — Rate limiting/circuit breaker watch integration. 🔄 Still a full rewrite of watch.ts. Brady's CHANGES_REQUESTED (additive patch, not full file replacement) has NOT been addressed. Same structural concern remains. -- **#513 (tamirdresher)** — Cross-machine-coordination SKILL.md. 🔄 Wrong directory (`.squad/skills/` is team-state; generic library content belongs in `templates/skills/`). Personal use case examples (voice cloning, DevBox) should be generalized. Needs `docs/proposals/` entry per proposal-first policy. -- **#507 (JasonYeYuhe)** — Chinese README translation. 🔄 Needs a community-maintained freshness disclaimer before merging. Translation quality looks solid; the maintenance burden concern is the only gate. - -**Patterns noted:** -- Diberry (MSFT) is delivering consistent, architecturally-sound contributions — both PRs are merge-ready. -- Tamir's contributions are technically strong but need delivery discipline (full-rewrite vs. surgical patch, proposal-first for new primitives). -- Community translations are welcome but need a sustainability framing before merge. - -### Worktree Gap Triage — #525 (2025-07-18) - -Community contributor joniba filed #525 identifying that Squad has full worktree *detection* but zero worktree *creation* in the coordinator/spawn flow. Validated all 10 claims — analysis is accurate. The reading infrastructure (resolveSquad() worktree detection, .gitattributes merge=union, boundary tests) is ~95% complete. The gap: ralph-commands.ts hardcodes `git checkout -b` in all 3 platform adapters (lines 50/71/92), coordinator never creates worktrees before spawn, no WORKTREE_PATH in prompts, and issue-lifecycle.md is referenced in squad.agent.md but doesn't exist. - -**Decision:** P2 — important but not v1-blocking. Broke into 5 sub-issues: (1) doc fix for missing issue-lifecycle.md (quick win → Procedures), (2) worktree variant in ralph-commands.ts (EECOM), (3) coordinator pre-spawn logic (Procedures + EECOM), (4) post-merge cleanup (EECOM), (5) architecture decision on heuristic (Flight). Sub-issue #1 ships immediately; #2–5 queue post-Wave-1 alongside SubSquads work where parallel execution becomes a hard requirement. - -**Backlog priority recommendation:** Top 5 for v1 = #508 (Ambient Personal Squad), #498 (remove .squad/ from VCS), #485 (Agent Spec & Validation), #481 (Typed StorageProvider), #347 (shore up init --sdk). Quick wins: #525 doc fix, #347. Deprioritize: manual verification debt (#418–421), long-term exploratory. A2A (#332–336) stays shelved per existing decision. - -### Release Hardening Plan — Finalized (2026-07-22) - -Brady approved scope for remaining v0.9.1 incident hardening. Three issues to execute, three deferred into umbrella: - -**DO:** #564 (rewrite PUBLISH-README.md as living playbook — absorbs #558, #559, #560), #557 (CI lint rule rejecting non-workspace `npm publish` in workflow YAML), #562 (delete ghost workflow `publish-npm.yml` ID 250121956). - -**DEFERRED into #564:** #560 (pre-flight checklist → playbook section), #559 (fallback protocol → playbook section), #558 (422 race docs → playbook section). - -**Key findings:** -- GitHub REST API has NO "Delete a workflow" endpoint. Ghost workflows only disappear when all their runs are deleted (GitHub GC). Procedure: `gh api` to list+delete all runs for workflow ID 250121956, then wait for GC. -- The lint rule goes in `squad-ci.yml` as a `publish-policy` job: scans `.github/workflows/*.yml` for `npm publish` without `-w` flag. Blocks PR merge if violated. -- PUBLISH-README.md playbook has 11 sections covering pre-flight, CI publish, manual fallback, 422 race conditions, insider channel, workspace policy, post-publish verification, and version bumping. Replaces the stale v0.8.22 stub entirely. - -**Execution order:** #562 (Brady, manual API call) and #557 (FIDO/Procedures, CI change) run in parallel. #564 (Procedures+Surgeon, playbook) goes last so it can reference the lint rule. - -Decision written to `.squad/decisions/inbox/flight-release-hardening-plan.md`. - -### Issue Triage Session — 14 Untriaged Issues (2026-03-24) - -**Triaged 14 issues + 10 PRs:** 3 docs issues, 6 community feature proposals, 3 bugs, 2 questions.

CONTRIBUTORS.md tracks both team roster and community contributors; contributor table entries grow with PRs (append PR counts rather than replace, maintaining attribution history). - -### Git Rebase for Doc Merges -When rebasing doc PRs with conflicts from other merged doc PRs, the main branch version (already merged) should generally take priority. For Node.js version references, maintain LTS terminology when present (e.g., `nvm install --lts` over specific version numbers like `nvm install 20`). Conflict resolution pattern: preserve new content from PR branch only where it doesn't duplicate or contradict already-merged changes. Use `git -c core.editor=true rebase --continue` to bypass interactive editor issues on Windows. - -### Astro Docs Format (v0.8.26) -Squad docs use plain markdown without Astro frontmatter. Structure: title (H1), experimental warning callout, "Try this" code blocks at top, overview paragraph, horizontal rule, then content sections with H2 headings. Microsoft Style Guide enforced: sentence-case headings, active voice, second person ("you"), present tense, no ampersands except in code/brand names.

Sidebar nav plan well-structured with clear open questions about CI/CD safety. -- **Microsoft Style compliance:** Mostly strong; discovered 3 minor issues. - -**Issues found:** -1. **🔴 Blocking:** sdk.md crosslink banner missing. Users navigating from curated "SDK" guide have no callout to the auto-generated "API Reference". Add "See Also" link in sdk.md before "## Resolution" section. -2. **🔴 Blocking:** Navigation URL inconsistency. `navigation.ts` hardcodes `reference/api/index` when it should be `reference/api` — Astro resolves `/api/` to `/api/index` automatically. Simplify slug. -3. **🟡 Blocking:** Nav plan's "Open Questions" section asks about CI/CD fallback (generated JSON missing). Plan should either specify build order (`docs:api` before `docs build`) or provide fallback empty nav for fresh clones. -4. **🟡 Recommended:** 2–3 test descriptions need more specificity (e.g., "class page renders heading and content" → "class page renders method signatures and definition source"). -5. **🟡 Recommended:** Screenshot filenames don't align with skill convention. Use semantic names: `api-reference-landing`, `api-class-detail`, `api-function-detail`. - -**Pattern identified:** Generated documentation requires crosslinks from curated guides. When adding a new docs section (API reference, CLI reference, etc.), ensure the *old* curated page (SDK Guide) has a visible pointer to the new section. This prevents users from stopping at the curated version and missing the comprehensive auto-generated reference. - -**Effort to fix:** < 2 hours. All issues are surgical edits to existing content; no architectural changes needed. - -### PR #484 Review & Merge — Sample READMEs (2026-03-22) - -Reviewed and merged PR #484. Sample README templates added to improve consistency across documentation examples. - -### PR Trust Model Documentation (v0.8.26) -Three trust levels for PR management: (1) Full review (default, team repos) — human gate on every merge; (2) Selective review (personal projects with patterns) — human reviews only critical paths; (3) Self-managing (solo personal repos only) — Squad merges own PRs, human reviews retroactively. Added to reviewer-protocol.md as new section. Important: self-managing ≠ unmonitored; use Ralph work monitoring and Teams notifications for awareness. Decision matrix included for when to use each level. - -### Final Docs Review Pattern (v0.8.26) -Pre-PR quality reviews check: (1) Microsoft Style Guide compliance (sentence-case headings, active voice, no ampersands, present tense, second person); (2) Tone consistency (practical, developer-focused, no hype); (3) Technical accuracy (code examples, file paths, commands); (4) Cross-reference integrity (valid links between pages); (5) DOCS-TEST SYNC (test assertions match new pages); (6) Privacy directive compliance (no individual repos without consent). Fixed duplicate section heading in reviewer-protocol.md (merge artifact). All staged docs passed review and are ready to commit. - -### Squad vs IRL Boundary Review (v0.8.26) -Evaluated four docs pages from PR #331 (Tamir's blog analysis) against Squad-specificity criterion: does content document Squad features/patterns (belongs in Squad docs) or community implementation examples (belongs in Squad IRL)? Key distinction: Squad docs = "how the feature works + universal best practices" vs IRL = "how one person built an amazing setup." Results: ralph-operations.md borderline (deployment wrappers are external infrastructure, not Squad features — trim "outer loop" framing), issue-templates.md borderline (GitHub feature documented for Squad context, not Squad code — clarify scope), proactive-communication.md does not belong (community extension pattern using WorkIQ/Playwright, not built into Squad), reviewer-protocol.md trust levels section belongs (documents user choice spectrum within Squad's existing review system). Pattern: if Squad doesn't ship the code, it's IRL content; if it's a GitHub platform feature used alongside Squad, clarify that distinction; if it documents actual Squad behavior/configuration, it belongs. - -### Boundary Review Execution (v0.8.26) -Executed boundary review findings from PR #331: (1) Deleted ralph-operations.md (infrastructure around Squad, not Squad itself — moved to IRL); (2) Deleted proactive-communication.md (external tools/webhooks — moved to IRL); (3) Reframed issue-templates.md intro to clarify "GitHub feature configured for Squad" not "Squad feature"; (4) Updated EXPECTED_SCENARIOS in docs-build.test.ts to match remaining files. Pattern reinforced: boundary review = remove external infrastructure docs, reframe platform integration docs to clarify whose feature it is, keep Squad behavior/config docs. Changes staged for commit. - -### Cross-Org Authentication Docs (v0.8.26) -Created docs/src/content/docs/scenarios/cross-org-auth.md covering GitHub personal + Enterprise Managed Users (EMU) multi-account auth. Three solutions documented: (1) gh auth switch for manual account toggling; (2) Copilot instructions (.github/copilot-instructions.md) for account mapping documentation; (3) Squad skill pattern for auth error detection and recovery. Covered git credential helpers (per-host and per-org), EMU hostname variations (github.com vs dedicated instances), and common error messages (HTTP 401, authentication required). Added cross-references in troubleshooting.md (new section), enterprise-platforms.md (authentication section), and navigation.ts. Updated test/docs-build.test.ts with 'cross-org-auth' in EXPECTED_SCENARIOS. Pattern: Microsoft Style Guide (sentence-case), "Try this" prompts at top, problem/solution structure, practical examples over abstractions, links to related pages at bottom. - -### Scannability Framework (v0.8.25) -Format selection is a scannability decision, not style preference. Paragraphs for narrative/concepts (3-4 sentences max). Bullets for scannable items (features, options, non-sequential steps). Tables for comparisons or structured reference data (config, API params). Quotes/indents for callouts/warnings. Decision test: if reader hunts for one item in a paragraph, convert to bullets/table. This framework is now a hard rule in charter under SCANNABILITY REVIEW. - -### Docs Catalog Audit (2026) -Full audit of the Astro-based docs site. Key patterns and findings: - -**Orphaned pages (exist but not in navigation.ts):** 15 total — `get-started/choose-your-interface.md`, `guide/faq.md`, `guide/build-autonomous-agent.md`, `guide/github-auth-setup.md`, `features/built-in-roles.md`, `features/context-hygiene.md`, `features/cost-tracking.md`, `features/issue-templates.md`, `reference/vscode-troubleshooting.md`, and 6 root-level legacy files (`guide.md`, `sample-prompts.md`, `tips-and-tricks.md`, `tour-first-session.md`, `tour-github-issues.md`, `tour-gitlab-issues.md`). - -**Stale content:** `whatsnew.md` reports v0.8.2 as current; actual is v0.8.26+. `insider-program.md` uses deprecated `npx github:` install format and references old `.ai-team/` directory name throughout. - -**Duplicate/overlap pairs:** `choosing-your-path.md` (in nav) vs `choose-your-interface.md` (orphan, more complete); root-level `sample-prompts.md` vs `guide/sample-prompts.md`; root-level `tips-and-tricks.md` vs `guide/tips-and-tricks.md`; root-level `tour-first-session.md` vs `get-started/first-session.md`. - -**Content quality:** All actively-navved pages are well-written, follow Microsoft Style Guide, and use correct install commands. Format standards (H1, experimental callout, "Try this" block, HR, H2 sections) are inconsistently applied — some orphaned pages like `built-in-roles.md` and `cost-tracking.md` lack the standard header/callout pattern. - -**Structural issues:** `features/team-setup.md` has a duplicate `## How Init Works` heading (merge artifact). `features/streams.md` nav title is "Streams" but H1 is "Squad SubSquads" (mismatch). `guide/faq.md` is a high-value page completely invisible from the sidebar. `features/built-in-roles.md` is a comprehensive roles reference also invisible from nav. - -**Gap:** No dedicated FAQ entry point, no changelog page, cookbook section is thin (one page), no user-facing explanation of the NASA Mission Control naming scheme for agents. - -**Navigation:** Zero dead nav links (every nav slug has a matching file). All orphan pages are linked internally from other pages so they are reachable — but not browseable via sidebar. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-22T12:46:00Z):** Booster implemented automated version sync for `whatsnew.md` (finding #1). Script reads `package.json` version, updates "Current Release" heading on every prebuild, with Vitest test gate. Heading now correct (v0.8.25+), will stay in sync automatically on all future builds. Finding #1 resolved. - -### JSDoc API Reference Research (2026-03-23) - -Completed research on generating JSDoc-based API reference documentation for Squad SDK. Key findings: - -**Current State:** Squad SDK has 60–80% JSDoc coverage across major modules (state: 81%, config: 8%). 136 TypeScript source files, no existing TypeDoc config. - -**Tool Recommendation:** **TypeDoc + typedoc-plugin-markdown** — no Starlight migration needed. Seamless integration with existing Astro 5 + Tailwind 4 + Pagefind. Markdown output drops directly into content collections. Auto-generates via Astro integration hook on `npm run build`. - -**Alternatives Evaluated:** -- ❌ Starlight migration: would break existing docs structure and custom branding -- ❌ api-extractor: overkill for open-source SDK; designed for strict monorepo contracts - -**Effort Estimate:** 5–6 hours (setup only) → 13–18 hours (setup + JSDoc improvements) → 15–22 hours (with CI/CD automation). - -**StorageProvider & State Module:** Phase 2 state layer is API-docs ready (81% coverage, well-structured types, clear interface contract). Gaps: add @param/@return tags to state/io functions. - -**URL Structure:** `/api/classes/squad-coordinator/`, `/api/interfaces/storage-provider/`, etc. Pagefind indexes automatically. - -**Deliverable:** Full research at `docs/research/jsdoc-api-reference-research.md` with configuration templates, implementation roadmap (4 phases), and tool comparison matrix. Decision summary at `.squad/decisions/inbox/pao-jsdoc-research.md`. - -### Issue Triage (2026-03-22T06:44:01Z) - -**Flight triaged 6 unlabeled issues and filed 1 new issue.** - -PAO assigned: -- **#488 (GitHub auth setup for project boards)** → squad:pao (documentation, newly filed) -- **#478 (Polish REPL)** → squad:vox + squad:pao (shell UX readiness + README documentation gate) -- **#476 (Guide v0.4.1 update)** → squad:handbook + squad:pao (SDK patterns + documentation) - -New issue #488 is documentation-focused; Fleet relabeled from squad:fido → squad:pao for proper domain ownership. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-22T06:44:01Z):** Flight issued comprehensive triage. PAO owns GitHub auth docs (#488), REPL documentation gate (#478), and Guide v0.4.1 refresh (#476). High community value on Guide update. Ready to begin documentation work on next sprint. -### npx Purge + Agency Audit -Brady's distribution directive: `npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli` is the only supported install path. Remove ALL user-facing `npx @bradygaster/squad-cli` and `npx github:bradygaster/squad` references from docs. Replace with either `npm install -g` (for install steps) or `squad ` (for usage steps). Keep `npx` only for dev tools (changeset, vitest, astro, pagefind). Keep historical blog posts as-is. Migration.md "Before" column and CI/CD "OLD" examples are valid historical context — keep them. Insider program: `npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli@insider` and `squad upgrade` replace the old `npx github:bradygaster/squad#insider`. Agency audit: all "agency-agents" references in source files and docs are MIT attribution for the upstream open-source project — legally required, never touch them. The `agency copilot` example in cli-entry.ts help text was a competing-product reference — changed to `gh copilot`. - -### README Slimming + Upgrade Section (v0.8.x) -Brady directive: README was too long at 512 lines. Cut the SDK deep-dive block (custom tools, hook pipeline, Ralph API code) and replaced it with a compact pointer to the docs site. Added a dedicated "Upgrading" section (two-step: `npm install -g` then `squad upgrade`) after Quick Start. Final length: 331 lines. SDK internals live in `docs/src/content/docs/reference/sdk.md` and `tools-and-hooks.md`. The README is now discovery/orientation; the docs site is the full reference. - -### v0.9.0 Release Blog Post (2026-03-23) -Created `docs/src/content/blog/028-v090-whats-new.md` documenting Squad's biggest release: Personal Squad (ambient agent discovery + Ghost Protocol), Worktree Spawning (isolated branches per issue), Machine Capability Discovery (needs:* label routing), Cooperative Rate Limiting (predictive circuit breaker), Economy Mode (budget-aware model selection), Auto-Wired Telemetry, P0 upgrade fixes, and docs refresh. Blog format: frontmatter (title/date/author/wave/tags/status/hero) → experimental warning → "What Shipped" (10 features with H2 sections + callout boxes) → "Quick Stats" → "Breaking Changes" (none) → "Upgrading" → "What's Next". Messaging: clear, engaging, factual (no marketing fluff). Demonstrated: Personal Squad governance layer, worktree isolation, capability declaration, RAAS traffic-light pattern, economy fallback logic. Docs refresh section emphasized: README from 512→218 lines, dedicated upgrade guide, npx purged, Astro features, Teams MCP refresh, autonomous agents guide. Contributors: diberry (worktree tests + docs), wiisaacs (security review), community. No breaking changes — all additive opt-in features. Test discovery is dynamic (EXPECTED_BLOG uses filesystem scan), so new post auto-discovered; no test file changes needed. Pattern reinforced: each feature needs a story — if you can't explain it, it's not ready. Demos over descriptions (concrete code examples, YAML config blocks, Bash CLI examples). - -### Discussion Triage (2026-03-23) - -Analyzed 15 open discussions for response strategy: -- **4 close-as-resolved** (#143, #169 — features now shipped; #402, #299 — answered with docs links) -- **1 close-as-duplicate** (#463 → #402) -- **2 convert-to-issue** (#161 root-copilot-hijack → bug/UX track; #534 enterprise-features → ongoing roadmap signal) -- **8 keep-open** (ongoing feedback, feature signals, edge cases, follow-up potential) - -Key pattern: 15 discussions = 7 feature-request/feedback signals, 4 answered-by-feature-release, 4 documentation-clarity gaps. Community is engaged; v0.9.1 (per-agent models, skills system, human team members, watch mode) directly addressed 5+ discussions that were open for 2-4 weeks. Timing of releases + follow-up responses critical for community trust. - -**Documentation gaps identified:** -- #440 (branch naming convention change) — needs migration guide in upgrade docs -- #306 (multi-root workspaces) → future feature; docs should clarify current limitation -- #140 (Teams MCP + Office 365 Connectors retirement) → docs refresh needed; Power Automate Workflows is the new path -- #401 (mobile/remote control) → feature exploration, keep on radar -- #161 (Coordinator hijacking) → document workarounds, prioritize UX fix for v1.0 - -Teams MCP critical update: Office 365 Connectors retired Dec 2024 → Power Automate Workflows is successor. Docs mention of old Connectors should be purged; Teams webhook examples should link to Power Automate Workflow guide. - -### Community Engagement Wave (2026-03-24) - -**6 discussions closed as resolved:** -- #463, #402 (per-agent model selection — shipped v0.9.1) -- #324 (local-only operation without GitHub integration) -- #299 (CLI vs Copilot agent — both viable) -- #143 (Human team members now first-class feature) -- #169 (Skills system shipped as core infrastructure) - -**8 discussions kept open with substantive replies:** -- #534 (enterprise features) — asked clarifying questions on scope -- #499 (Brady's v1.0 announcement) — explained `.squad/` regenerability plan -- #440 (branch naming change) — acknowledged disruption, offered migration guidance -- #401 (mobile/async control) — acknowledged use case, roadmap signal -- #376 (best practices) — provided triage and routing patterns -- #306 (multi-root support) — acknowledged limitation, kept open for feedback -- #95 (casting system) — explained mature re-casting flow -- #140 (Teams MCP) — critical guidance on Office 365 Connectors retirement → Power Automate Workflows - -**Pattern observed:** Feature-release timing + follow-up responses critical for community trust. v0.9.1 directly addressed 5+ discussions (models, skills, human members) that were open 2-4 weeks. Community triage now operational: 14 discussions reviewed, 6 closed, 8 kept active = 43% closure rate on resolved items. - -**Key insight:** Retirement of Microsoft Office 365 Connectors (Dec 2024) caught users mid-setup. Proactive notification of Teams Workflows alternative + Power Automate guidance essential for Teams MCP users. - -### Release Playbook Rewrite (#564, 2026-07-22) - -**Task:** Rewrite PUBLISH-README.md from a v0.8.22 version-specific stub (58 lines) into a living, version-agnostic release playbook. - -**Outcome:** 232-line playbook replacing entirely with 11 sections per Flight's spec: -1. Overview — two publish channels, package order (SDK → CLI) -2. Pre-Flight Checklist — runnable checklist with `grep`/`npm` commands -3. Publish via CI (Recommended Path) — GitHub Release workflow -4. Publish via workflow_dispatch — manual trigger fallback -5. Insider Channel — insider branch + `@insider` tag for testing -6. Workspace Publish Policy — reference to CI lint rule #557 (enforces `-w` flag) -7. Manual Local Publish — emergency fallback with step-by-step commands -8. 422 Race Condition & npm Errors — v0.9.1 incident + troubleshooting -9. Post-Publish Verification — `npm view` + npx cold-install test -10. Version Bump After Publish — preview version increment pattern -11. Legacy Publish Scripts — deprecation notice for PowerShell scripts - -**Key decisions:** -- Microsoft Style Guide enforced: sentence-case headings, active voice, "you" not "we", present tense -- Version-agnostic: `` placeholder, no hardcoded version numbers -- Scannability: checklist format, code blocks (bash not PowerShell for portability), tables for error reference -- Accuracy: pulled from actual workflows (`squad-npm-publish.yml`, `squad-insider-publish.yml`) — preflight job, smoke test, publish stages, registry propagation retry logic (5× 15-second intervals) -- Runnable: all commands copy-pasteable (e.g., `npm -w packages/squad-sdk pack --dry-run`) - -**Pattern:** Living playbook absorbs three related issues (#558 race conditions, #559 manual publish, #560 pre-flight checklist) into unified reference. No separate documents; all under one decision tree: try CI first, use manual only if CI broken. Workspace publish policy section references CI lint rule #557 (being added in parallel by FIDO); both docs + lint create enforcement + education. - -**Commit:** `docs: rewrite PUBLISH-README.md as release playbook (#564)` on squad/release-hardening branch. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-24T06-release-hardening):** Release playbook rewrite (#564) completed. PUBLISH-README.md transformed from v0.8.22 stub to living 232-line playbook with 11 sections: Overview, Pre-Flight Checklist, Publish via CI (recommended), Publish via workflow_dispatch, Insider Channel, Workspace Publish Policy, Manual Local Publish (emergency fallback), 422 Race Condition & npm Errors, Post-Publish Verification, Version Bump After Publish, Legacy Publish Scripts. Absorbed issues #558, #559, #560 into unified decision tree. Microsoft Style Guide enforced; version-agnostic; all commands runnable. Scannability: checklist format, bash code blocks, error reference table. Committed to squad/release-hardening. -### JSDoc API Reference PRD (2026-03-24) - -Completed full PRD based on research findings. **Document:** `docs/research/jsdoc-api-reference-prd.md`. - -**Structure (8 major sections):** -1. Problem Statement — 5 concrete gaps (no dedicated API ref, uneven JSDoc coverage, discoverability, StorageProvider docs lag, Pagefind misses API symbols) -2. Goals & Success Metrics — 4 primary goals, 8 measurable targets (100% JSDoc coverage, 50+ auto-documented symbols, searchable API) -3. Key User Scenarios — 4 personas (SDK consumer, contributor, agent author, evaluator) with today vs future workflows -4. Scope — clear in/out boundaries (TypeDoc + JSDoc improvements in; CLI ref gen, Starlight migration, multi-version docs out) -5. Approach — architecture (TypeDoc in Astro hook), config template (typedoc.json), output/URL structure, build integration code, JSDoc improvement plan with effort table -6. Implementation Phases — 4 phases: Phase 0 (setup/PoC, 1–2 days), Phase 1 (JSDoc audit, 5–6 hrs), Phase 2 (integration/nav, 3–4 hrs), Phase 3 (CI/CD optional, 2–4 hrs) -7. Risks & Mitigations — 7 risks (TypeDoc breaks on changes, stale markdown, link validation strictness, Pagefind misses, config maintenance, build perf, breaking changes) with specific mitigations -8. Architecture Review section — 4 items for CONTROL to review (TypeScript export strategy, TypeDoc config, JSDoc standards, stability commitments) - -**Key decisions baked into PRD:** -- TypeDoc + typedoc-plugin-markdown (not Starlight, not api-extractor) — zero migration, Markdown-first, Pagefind-compatible -- Astro integration hook auto-runs TypeDoc on build (single step: `npm run build`) -- Generated output goes to docs/src/content/docs/reference/api/ (one file per symbol) -- JSDoc improvement priority: config/schema.ts (8% → 100%), state/io/ functions (@param/@return tags), StorageProvider interface audit -- Total effort: 13–18 hours (8–12 JSDoc + 5–6 setup) - -**Style & Tone:** -- Written for Flight-level review/approval (actionable, opinionated, specific) -- Includes code examples (typedoc.json, Astro hook, JSDoc template) -- References research doc for detailed findings -- PRD as decision/commitment document — not advisory, but directive - -**Learnings:** -- PRD structure differs from research (research = exploratory findings/options; PRD = chosen path + tactical roadmap) -- Recommendation section in PRD serves as binding decision (TypeDoc chosen, rationale locked in) -- Architecture Review section ensures TypeScript team reviews export strategy and JSDoc standards early — prevents rework later -- Four-phase approach breaks large effort into digestible increments (Phase 0 validation before JSDoc audit helps mitigate risk of TypeDoc setup failing) - -**Decision:** PRD approved for handoff to implementation team.

The distributed-mesh skill was tested in a real project (mesh-demo), and agents generated 76 lines of validator code, 5 test files with 43 tests, regenerated sync scripts that should have been copied from templates, and left decision files empty. The skill document let agents interpret intent instead of following explicit steps. - -**Solution:** Rewrite skills to be fully deterministic: - -1. **SCOPE section** (right after frontmatter, before Context) - - ✅ THIS SKILL PRODUCES — exact list of files/artifacts - - ❌ THIS SKILL DOES NOT PRODUCE — explicit negative list to prevent scope creep - -2. **AGENT WORKFLOW section** — Step-by-step deterministic instructions - - ASK: exact questions to ask the user - - GENERATE: exactly which files to create, with schemas - - WRITE: exactly which decision entry to write, with template - - TELL: exact message to output to user - - STOP: explicit stopping condition, with negative list of what NOT to do - -3. **Fix ambiguous language:** - - "do the task" → clarify this means "the agent's normal work" not "build something for the skill" - - "Agent adds the field" → clarify this describes what a consuming agent does with data it READ - - Phase descriptions → note that phases are project-level decisions, not auto-advanced - -4. **Decision template** — inline markdown showing exactly what to write - -5. **Anti-patterns for code generation** — explicit list of things NOT to build - -**Pattern for other skills:** All skills should have SCOPE (what it produces, what it doesn't) and AGENT WORKFLOW (deterministic steps with STOP condition).

This violated the GitHub agent-skills spec, which says: "add scripts, examples or other resources to your skill's directory. The skill instructions should tell Copilot when, and how, to use these resources." - -**Solution:** Skills are self-contained bundles. Resources live WITH the skill, not in separate template directories: - -1. **Bundle resources IN the skill directory:** Copy `sync-mesh.sh`, `sync-mesh.ps1`, and `mesh.json.example` into `.squad/skills/distributed-mesh/` -2. **Update SKILL.md workflow:** - - Step 2: Reference `mesh.json.example` from THIS skill's directory - - Step 3: COPY sync scripts from THIS skill's directory to project root (agent does it, not user) - - Step 4: RUN `--init` if Zone 2 state repo specified (agent does it, not user) -3. **Update SCOPE section:** Clarify the skill PRODUCES the copied scripts (bundled resources ≠ generated code) -4. **Replicate to templates:** Copy entire skill directory to `templates/skills/`, `packages/squad-cli/templates/skills/`, `packages/squad-sdk/templates/skills/` - -**Pattern for all skills:** Skills are self-contained. Scripts, examples, configs, and resources travel WITH the skill. The agent reads SKILL.md, sees "copy X from this directory," and does it. Zero manual steps. - -### 2026-03-15: Three new governance policies added to agent system - -**Task:** Brady directive — implement three new policies across the agent system: - -1. **Agent Error Lockout** — Added to squad.agent.md. After 2 cumulative errors (build/test failures or reviewer rejection) on the same task, agent is locked out for that task only. Different agent takes over. Coordinator tracks and enforces; Scribe logs lockout events. - -2. **Product Isolation Rule** — Added to every charter and squad.agent.md Constraints. Tests, CI, and product code must NEVER depend on specific agent names from any squad. "Our squad" must not impact "the squad." Use generic/parameterized values (e.g., "test-agent-1") instead of real agent names (Flight, EECOM, FIDO). - -3. **Peer Quality Check** — Added to every charter. Before finishing work, agents must verify their changes don't break existing tests. Run test suite for files touched. Update history.md when learning from mistakes. - -**Implementation:** Updated `.github/agents/squad.agent.md` (new section + constraint) and all 19 active agent charters in `.squad/agents/*/charter.md`. - -**Pattern:** Policies added as subsections under "How I Work" in charters to ensure they're loaded with agent context. Coordinator-level policies live in squad.agent.md with explicit enforcement instructions. - -### 2026-03-16: Team-wide reskill — 17.4% reduction - -**Context:** Routine maintenance reskill, one day after previous reskill (2026-03-15). Last reskill brought the system from 117.4KB to 51.7KB. This pass focused on remaining oversized charters. - -**Work done:** -- **Scribe (2143→1557):** Compressed workflow steps, kept essential commit instructions -- **Handbook (1807→1529):** Removed repetitive LLM-FIRST DOCS emphasis -- **FIDO (1715→1370):** Consolidated verbose NEVER/ALWAYS sections -- **Booster (1583→1368):** Same NEVER/ALWAYS compression pattern - -**Results:** 26,721→17,088 bytes (charters), 28,602→28,602 bytes (histories), total 55,323→45,690 bytes. 9,633 bytes saved (17.4% reduction). All charters now ≤1.5KB. - -**Skill extraction:** No new patterns extracted. CastingEngine integration work (from EECOM March 15) is still evolving — not yet mature enough for skill template. Histories all <12KB, no compression needed. - -**Pattern:** NEVER/ALWAYS sections in charters compress well — fold bullet lists into single-paragraph summaries. Essential workflow details (Scribe's commit steps) should stay verbose. - -### 2026-03-22: Economy mode skill and personal squad governance (#500, #344) - -**Task:** Two governance tasks — economy mode skill design and personal squad coordinator awareness. - -**Economy mode (SKILL.md):** -- Created `.squad/skills/economy-mode/SKILL.md` as a Layer 3 modifier, not a new resolution layer -- Key design decision: economy mode ONLY affects Layer 3 auto-selection — Layer 0/1/2 (user intent) always wins -- `💰` indicator in spawn acknowledgments keeps it transparent -- Activation via session phrase, persistent config (`economyMode: true` in config.json), or CLI flag -- Architecture trips shift from opus → sonnet; code tasks shift from sonnet → gpt-4.1/gpt-5-mini -- Confidence: `low` — first implementation, not yet validated - -**Personal squad governance (proposals):** -- Gap analysis: coordinator has no consult mode awareness despite full SDK implementation -- Five gaps identified: Init Mode missing personal squad resolution, no consult mode detection, TEAM_ROOT has no personal-squad semantics, charter templates lack consult-mode patterns, no consult-mode skill -- Proposed `CONSULT_MODE: true` as spawn prompt signal, `🧳 consult` in acknowledgments -- Proposed new consult-mode skill (after governance approval — skill after governance, not before) - -**Governance workflow pattern:** When proposals touch squad.agent.md (governance territory), write to `decisions/inbox/` for Flight review. Don't directly edit squad.agent.md — Flight reviews governance changes. - -**Catalog audit finding:** `claude-sonnet-4.6`, `gpt-5.4`, `gpt-5.3-codex` appear in model-selection SKILL.md fallback chains but are absent from squad.agent.md's "Valid models" catalog. Documented in economy-mode governance proposal for Flight to address. - -### Session 2 Summary (2026-03-22) - -Wave 1 governance work on #500 and #344: authored economy-mode skill (`SKILL.md`), economy-mode governance proposal, and personal-squad governance proposal. Caught `claude-sonnet-4.6` missing from valid models catalog. PR #503 (`squad/500-344-governance`) merged to dev. - -### 2025-07: Spawn template `name` parameter fix (#577) - -**Problem:** Agent cast names weren't displayed during work — the tasks panel showed generic slugs like "general-purpose-task" instead of the cast name. Root cause: spawn templates in `squad.agent.md` specified `description` but NOT the `name` parameter for the `task` tool. The `name` parameter generates the human-readable agent ID shown in the tasks panel. - -**Fix:** Added `name: "{name}"` (lowercase cast name) to all spawn templates in `.squad-templates/squad.agent.md`: -- Lightweight Spawn Template -- Model-passing example -- Main full spawn template ("Template for any agent") -- Scribe spawn template (hardcoded `name: "scribe"`) - -Also updated: examples section (showing `name` + `description` pairs), anti-pattern #4 (now covers both `name` and `description`), and Constraints section (requiring `name` on every spawn). - -**Pattern:** Every `task` tool spawn MUST include `name` set to the agent's lowercase cast name. Without it, the platform defaults to generic slugs. The `description` parameter is for the human-readable summary; `name` is for the agent ID. - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-23T23:15Z):** Orchestration complete. Agent name display refactor shipped: spawn templates updated with mandatory `name` parameter across all 4 template variants. VOX and FIDO coordinated on parser extraction and cascading pattern strategies. All decisions merged to decisions.md. Canonical source: `.squad-templates/squad.agent.md` (all derived copies secondary). - -📌 **Team update (2026-03-25T18:11Z):** Model catalog updated to current platform offerings — removed 2 stale models (claude-opus-4.6-fast, gpt-5), added 5 new models (claude-sonnet-4.6, claude-opus-4.6-1m, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.4-mini), bumped defaults (code: claude-sonnet-4.6, specialist: gpt-5.3-codex), restructured fallbacks. All 5 squad.agent.md template copies synchronized. Merged in #588. - -### 2025-07: Model catalog refresh (#588) - -**Problem:** The valid models catalog, fallback chains, role-to-model mappings, and default model references in `squad.agent.md` were stale — missing `claude-sonnet-4.6`, `gpt-5.4`, `gpt-5.3-codex`, `gpt-5.4-mini`, `claude-opus-4.6-1m` and still referencing removed models `claude-opus-4.6-fast` and standalone `gpt-5`. - -**Fix:** Full catalog refresh across all model-referencing sections: -- Catalog: added 5 new models, removed 2 stale ones -- Defaults: code-writing tasks bumped to `claude-sonnet-4.6` (newest standard); code specialist bumped to `gpt-5.3-codex` -- Fallback chains: restructured with new models in sensible positions (e.g., `gpt-5.4-mini` in fast tier, `gpt-5.4` in standard) -- All 5 copies synced via `sync-templates.mjs` - -**Pattern:** Model catalogs drift. When the platform adds/removes models, every section referencing models needs updating — not just the catalog list. Search for all model name strings before considering the refresh complete. -### 2026-03-25: VS Code routing enforcement investigation (#613) - -**Problem:** In VS Code, the coordinator reads routing rules but doesn't enforce them — continues working inline instead of dispatching via `runSubagent`. Andreas (andikrueger) reproduced and the agent itself admitted it violated the rules. - -**Root cause (dominant):** CLI-centric enforcement language. The CRITICAL RULE says "MUST use the `task` tool" — but in VS Code the dispatch tool is `runSubagent`. When `task` isn't available, the coordinator falls through Platform Detection's "Fallback mode" (work inline) instead of using `runSubagent`. The VS Code adaptations section is buried 360 lines below the CRITICAL RULE and reads as optional, not mandatory. - -**Amplifying factors:** -1. Prompt saturation: 950 lines / 80KB. Routing constraint competes with 900+ lines of governance, lifecycle, and reference material. Core dispatch loop is ~200 lines; rest is noise. -2. Template duplication: CLI 1.0.11 discovers all `*.agent.md` from cwd to git root. Squad has 5 copies — only `.github/agents/squad.agent.md` should be discoverable. - -**Proposed fixes (5 total, prioritized):** -- P0: Rewrite enforcement language to be platform-neutral ("dispatch tool" not "`task` tool") -- P0: Add routing reinforcement at bottom of prompt (LLMs weight start/end more than middle) -- P1: Rename template copies to `.agent.md.template` to prevent CLI discovery -- P1: Extract ~350 lines to lazy-loaded reference files (worktree, Ralph, casting, MCP) -- P1: Move VS Code dispatch block immediately after CRITICAL RULE - -**Key pattern learned:** Enforcement language must name ALL dispatch mechanisms, not just the CLI one. Platform-specific instructions buried deep in a long prompt get lost — they need to be co-located with the constraint they modify. LLM attention patterns favor prompt boundaries (top/bottom) over the middle. - -**Proposal filed:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/procedures-vscode-routing-fix.md` - -### 2026-07: VS Code routing enforcement — Fix 1 + Fix 2 shipped (#613) - -**Implemented** P0 fixes from the VS Code routing proposal: - -- **Fix 1 (Platform-Neutral Enforcement):** Rewrote CRITICAL RULE from CLI-specific "`task` tool" language to dispatcher-identity framing ("You are a DISPATCHER, not a DOER") with explicit dispatch mechanism table (CLI → `task`, VS Code → `runSubagent`, fallback → inline as last resort). Updated all 7 enforcement-context references throughout squad.agent.md: anti-patterns #1/#2/#3, constraints block, and spawn template header. - -- **Fix 2 (Top-and-Bottom Reinforcement):** Added `## ⚠️ Routing Enforcement Reminder` as final section, exploiting LLM prompt-boundary attention bias. Reinforces dispatcher identity at both top and bottom of the prompt. - -**Branch:** `squad/613-vscode-routing-enforcement` — canonical source edited, synced to all 5 copies via `scripts/sync-templates.mjs`, build verified clean. - -**Remaining P1 fixes** (template renaming, prompt slimming, VS Code block relocation) deferred to separate PRs per the proposal's ship order. - -### 2026-07: PR #619 rebase and merge — model catalog final sync - -**Problem:** PR #619 (model catalog update, #588) was the last of 6 PRs in the pre-crash triage merge plan. It had accumulated old dev merge commits and was behind after PRs #620, #627, #624, #611, and #617 merged first. Template renames from #624 (`.agent.md` → `.agent.md.template`) changed which files needed updating. - -**Fix:** Used targeted `git rebase --onto dev ` to replay only the 2 actual PR commits (skipping accumulated dev merge noise). Rebase applied cleanly — one commit landed, one was auto-dropped as already upstream. After rebase, only `packages/squad-sdk/templates/squad.agent.md.template` and `templates/squad.agent.md.template` needed changes since the canonical and other copies already had the model updates from earlier merges. - -**Pattern:** When a PR branch has accumulated merge commits from dev, use `git rebase --onto dev ` to cherry-pick only the relevant commits. This avoids conflict noise from old merge commits that are already in dev. Also: after template renames, the sync script may overwrite version stamps in the canonical file — revert those before pushing. - -### 2026-04-17: Trim copilot-instructions.md (#999) - -**Task:** Reduce `.github/copilot-instructions.md` from ~1,300 words / 9KB to ≤750 words / ≤4KB to reduce attention dilution for the Copilot coding agent. - -**Key decisions:** -- Extracted Protected Files (file list, rules, SDK/CLI boundary, anti-patterns) to `.copilot/skills/protected-files/SKILL.md` — replaced with 2-sentence pointer -- Consolidated Git Safety from 4 sub-sections (Staging, Pushing, Pre-Push Checklist, Branch Contamination Prevention) into a single 7-item flat list; resolved contradictory `git fetch upstream` vs `git fetch origin` (kept `origin`) -- Compacted Changeset Requirement from 7 lines + code block to 2 sentences -- Reordered: Team Context, Capability Self-Check, Branch Naming now appear before Git Safety (essential workflow first, safety rules second) -- Removed duplication with `.squad/copilot-instructions.md` (5 sections were verbatim copies; kept compact versions since both files load) -- Sweeping Refactor Rules condensed from 5-step list to 2-sentence pointer - -**Result:** 397 words / 3KB — well within target. PR #1002. - -**Files modified:** `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `.copilot/skills/protected-files/SKILL.md` (new). - -**Pattern:** When trimming agent instructions, extract domain-specific reference content to skills (lazy-loaded on demand) and keep the main instructions file as a routing/workflow document. Skills are the right abstraction for "read this when you touch X" — they don't consume tokens until needed. - diff --git a/.squad/agents/ralph/charter.md b/.squad/agents/ralph/charter.md deleted file mode 100644 index 8f3ea5c9d..000000000 --- a/.squad/agents/ralph/charter.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,68 +0,0 @@ -# Ralph — Work Monitor - -> Keeps the board moving until it is actually clear. - -## Identity - -- **Name:** Ralph -- **Role:** Work Monitor -- **Expertise:** GitHub issues, PR status, backlog loops, idle-watch, DispatchGuard verdict consumption -- **Style:** Persistent, concise, operational - -## What I Own - -- Scanning for open Squad work. -- Monitoring `squad:*` labels, draft PRs, review feedback, CI failures, and merge-ready PRs. -- Driving the work queue while active. -- Reporting compact board status. -- Consuming DispatchGuard verdicts and alerting on violations. - -## How I Work - -- Use `gh` CLI when GitHub MCP is unavailable. -- Process highest-priority work first: untriaged issues, assigned work, CI failures, review feedback, approved PRs. -- When active, keep looping until the board is clear or the user explicitly says idle/stop. -- Never modify product artifacts directly; route work to the responsible agent. - -## DispatchGuard Verdict Consumer - -Ralph **consumes DispatchGuard verdicts** emitted by Scribe and acts on them based on the enforcement mode. - -### How it works - -When active (work-monitor loop running), Ralph periodically reads `.squad/orchestration-log/dispatchguard/verdicts-{SESSION_ID}.jsonl` and processes new verdict entries: - -- `verdict: "ok"` → no action; continue monitoring -- `verdict: "warn"` → log the violation to the session log; emit a brief coordinator alert (one line, non-blocking) -- `verdict: "block"` → log the violation; emit a blocking alert to the coordinator; **pause the work queue until the coordinator acknowledges** -- `verdict: "indeterminate"` → treat identically to `warn`/`block` per the enforcement mode (per Q Recommendation #6: unverifiable compliance ≠ free pass) -- `verdict: "error"` → log the audit script error; do not block; surface to coordinator for investigation - -Ralph does NOT rerun the audit script — that is Scribe's job.

Separately, a new `squad-workflow-lint` job (`.github/workflows/squad-workflow-lint.yml`) runs actionlint 1.7.12 + shellcheck 0.10.0 on workflow templates — this is a distinct check, entirely independent of `changelog-gate`, which only enforces changeset/CHANGELOG requirements and has no role in linting. For future releases, be aware that PRs touching `.github/workflows/`, `.squad-templates/workflows/`, `templates/workflows/`, or either package's `templates/workflows/` will trigger this lint check. Whether `squad-workflow-lint` is configured as a required branch-protection gate has not been verified — confirm before treating it as a hard release blocker. diff --git a/.squad/agents/telemetry/charter.md b/.squad/agents/telemetry/charter.md deleted file mode 100644 index c79de114f..000000000 --- a/.squad/agents/telemetry/charter.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,35 +0,0 @@ -# Telemetry — Aspire & Observability - -> Infrastructure-aware.

New drafts should align with this tone: - -### GS-1: Welcome (High confidence) -> Hey @newuser! Welcome to Squad 👋 Thanks for opening this — great first issue! -> -> To answer your question: Squad uses `.squad/team.md` to define your team roster. You can add members by editing that file directly or running `squad init`. -> -> Let us know if you hit any snags — happy to help! - -### GS-2: Troubleshooting (High confidence) -> Thanks for the detailed report, @reporter! -> -> This looks like it might be related to the casting registry not finding the universe file. Here's what we'd suggest: -> 1. Check that `.squad/casting/registry.json` exists and is valid JSON -> 2. Run `squad build` to regenerate from source -> 3. If that doesn't work, try deleting `.squad/casting/` and re-running `squad init` -> -> Let us know if that helps, or if you're seeing something different. - -### GS-3: Feature Guidance (Medium confidence) -> Great question! Right now, Squad handles cross-repo orchestration through the hub-and-spoke model — you'd have a central `.squad/` in one repo and reference it from others. -> -> We know this isn't ideal for every setup. There's been some discussion about making this more seamless (see #316 for the RFC). -> -> For now, the workaround is to use `squad export` to share config across repos. Hope that helps! - -### GS-4: Acknowledgment (High confidence) -> Good catch, @finder. We've confirmed this is a real issue with the session pool cleanup. -> -> It looks like sessions aren't being released when the adapter disconnects unexpectedly. We're tracking it and will update this thread when we have a fix. -> -> Thanks for flagging it — this one would have been hard to find without your repro steps! - -### GS-5: Technical Uncertainty (Low confidence) -> Interesting find, @explorer. We're not 100% sure what's causing this yet. -> -> Here's what we've ruled out: -> - It's not a casting issue (registry looks fine) -> - It's not a config issue (your squad.config.ts parses correctly) -> -> Could you share the output of `squad build --verbose`? That would help us narrow it down. We'll dig deeper and update this thread. - -### GS-6: Redirect (High confidence) -> Thanks for reaching out, @asker! This one is actually better suited for the Squad-IRL repo, which covers deployment patterns and infrastructure around Squad. -> -> You can open it here: https://github.com/bradygaster/Squad-IRL — they'll be able to help with the Terraform setup specifically. -> -> Feel free to link back to this thread for context! - -### GS-7: Closing (High confidence) -> This should be resolved in v0.8.22! 🎉 -> -> The fix was in PR #389 — the casting registry now handles universe overflow correctly when you have more than 15 agents. -> -> Thanks for reporting this, @reporter — your repro steps made this one easy to track down.

All squad state/scratch files belong in .squad/ and ONLY .squad/. Root tree of a user's repo is sacred. -**Why:** User request — hard rule. Captured for all agents. - -### 2026-02-21: npm workspace protocol for monorepo -**By:** Edie (TypeScript Engineer) -**What:** Use npm-native workspace resolution (version-string references) instead of `workspace:*` protocol for cross-package dependencies. -**Why:** The `workspace:*` protocol is pnpm/Yarn-specific. npm workspaces resolve workspace packages automatically. -**Impact:** All inter-package dependencies in `packages/*/package.json` should use the actual version string, not `workspace:*`. - -### 2026-02-21: Distribution is npm-only (GitHub-native removed) -**By:** Rabin (Distribution) + Fenster (Core Dev) -**What:** Squad packages (`@bradygaster/squad-sdk` and `@bradygaster/squad-cli`) are distributed exclusively via npmjs.com. The GitHub-native `npx github:bradygaster/squad` path has been removed. -**Why:** npm is the standard distribution channel. One distribution path reduces confusion and maintenance burden. Root `cli.js` prints deprecation warning if anyone still hits the old path. - -### 2026-02-21: Coordinator prompt structure — three routing modes -**By:** Verbal (Prompt Engineer) -**What:** Coordinator uses structured response format: `DIRECT:` (answer inline), `ROUTE:` + `TASK:` + `CONTEXT:` (single agent), `MULTI:` (fan-out). Unrecognized formats fall back to `DIRECT`. -**Why:** Keyword prefixes are cheap to parse and reliable. Fallback-to-direct prevents silent failures. -### `.squad/` Directory Scope — Owner Directive -**By:** Brady (project owner, PR #326 review) -**Date:** 2026-03-10 - -**Directive:** The `.squad/` directory is **reserved for team state only** — roster, routing, decisions, agent histories, casting, and orchestration logs. Non-team data (adoption tracking, community metrics, reports) must NOT live in `.squad/`.

Only `cli-entry.ts` may call `process.exit()`. -**Pattern:** Library functions throw `SquadError`. CLI entry catches and exits. Library consumers catch for structured error handling. - -### 2026-02-21: User directive — docs as you go -**By:** bradygaster (via Copilot) -**What:** Doc and blog as you go during SquadUI integration work. Doesn't have to be perfect — keep docs updated incrementally. - -### 2026-02-22: Runtime EventBus as canonical bus -**By:** Fortier -**What:** `runtime/event-bus.ts` (colon-notation: `session:created`, `subscribe()` API) is the canonical EventBus for all orchestration classes. The `client/event-bus.ts` (dot-notation) remains for backward-compat but should not be used in new code. -**Why:** Runtime EventBus has proper error isolation — one handler failure doesn't crash others. - -### 2026-02-22: Subpath exports in @bradygaster/squad-sdk -**By:** Edie (TypeScript Engineer) -**What:** SDK declares subpath exports (`.`, `./parsers`, `./types`, and module paths). Each uses types-first condition ordering. -**Constraints:** Every subpath needs a source barrel. `"types"` before `"import"`. ESM-only: no `"require"` condition. - -### 2026-02-22: User directive — Aspire testing requirements -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** Integration tests must launch the Aspire dashboard and validate OTel telemetry shows up. Use Playwright. Use latest Aspire bits. Reference aspire.dev (NOT learn.microsoft.com). Use "Aspire" without a ".NET" prefix. - -### 2026-02-23: User directive — code fences -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** Never use / or \ as code fences in GitHub issues, PRs, or comments. Only use backticks to format code. - -### 2026-02-23: User Directive — Docs Overhaul & Publication Pause -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** Pause docs publication until Brady explicitly gives go-ahead. Tone: lighthearted, welcoming, fun (NOT stuffy). First doc should be "first experience" with squad CLI. All docs: brief, prompt-first, action-oriented, fun. Human tone throughout. - -### 2026-02-23: Use sendAndWait for streaming dispatch -**By:** Kovash (REPL Expert) -**What:** `dispatchToAgent()` and `dispatchToCoordinator()` use `sendAndWait()` instead of `sendMessage()`. Fallback listens for `turn_end`/`idle` if unavailable. -**Why:** `sendMessage()` is fire-and-forget — resolves before streaming deltas arrive. -**Impact:** Never parse `accumulated` after a bare `sendMessage()`. Always use `awaitStreamedResponse`. - -### 2026-02-23: extractDelta field priority — deltaContent first -**By:** Kovash (REPL Expert) -**What:** `extractDelta` priority: `deltaContent` > `delta` > `content`. Matches SDK actual format. -**Impact:** Use `deltaContent` as the canonical field name for streamed text chunks. - -### 2026-02-24: Per-command --help/-h: intercept-before-dispatch pattern -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**What:** All CLI subcommands support `--help` and `-h`. Help intercepted before command routing prevents destructive commands from executing. -**Convention:** New CLI commands MUST have a `getCommandHelp()` entry with usage, description, options, and 2+ examples. - -### 2026-02-25: REPL cancellation and configurable timeout -**By:** Kovash (REPL Expert) -**What:** Ctrl+C immediately resets `processing` state. Timeout: `SQUAD_REPL_TIMEOUT` (seconds) > `SQUAD_SESSION_TIMEOUT_MS` (ms) > 600000ms default. CLI `--timeout` flag sets env var. - -### 2026-02-24: Shell Observability Metrics -**By:** Saul (Aspire & Observability) -**What:** Four metrics under `squad.shell.*` namespace, gated behind `SQUAD_TELEMETRY=1`. -**Convention:** Shell metrics require explicit consent via `SQUAD_TELEMETRY=1`, separate from OTLP endpoint activation. - -### 2026-02-23: Telemetry in both CLI and agent modes -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** Squad should pump telemetry during BOTH modes: (1) standalone Squad CLI, and (2) running as an agent inside GitHub Copilot CLI. - -### 2026-02-27: ASCII-only separators and NO_COLOR -**By:** Cheritto (TUI Engineer) -**What:** All separators use ASCII hyphens. Text-over-emoji principle: text status is primary, emoji is supplementary. -**Convention:** Use ASCII hyphens for separators. Keep emoji out of status/system messages. - -### 2026-02-24: Version format — bare semver canonical -**By:** Fenster -**What:** Bare semver (e.g., `0.8.5.1`) for version commands. Display contexts use `squad v{VERSION}`. - -### 2026-02-25: Help text — progressive disclosure -**By:** Fenster -**What:** Default `/help` shows 4 essential lines. `/help full` shows complete reference. - -### 2026-02-24: Unified status vocabulary -**By:** Marquez (CLI UX Designer) -**What:** Use `[WORK]` / `[STREAM]` / `[ERR]` / `[IDLE]` across ALL status surfaces. -**Why:** Most granular, NO_COLOR compatible, text-over-emoji, consistent across contexts. - -### 2026-02-24: Pick one tagline -**By:** Marquez (CLI UX Designer) -**What:** Use "Team of AI agents at your fingertips" everywhere. - -### 2026-02-24: User directive — experimental messaging -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** CLI docs should note the project is experimental and ask users to file issues. - -### 2026-02-28: User directive — DO NOT merge PR #547 -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** DO NOT merge PR #547 (Squad Remote Control). Do not touch #547 at all. -**Why:** User request — captured for team memory - -### 2026-02-28: CLI Critical Gap Issues Filed -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**What:** 4 critical CLI gaps filed as GitHub issues #554–#557 for explicit team tracking: -- #554: `--preview` flag undocumented and untested -- #556: `--timeout` flag undocumented and untested -- #557: `upgrade --self` is dead code -- #555: `run` subcommand is a stub (non-functional) - -**Why:** Orchestration logs captured gaps but they lacked actionable GitHub tracking and ownership. Filed issues now have explicit assignment to Fenster, clear acceptance criteria, and visibility in Wave E planning. - -### 2026-02-28: Test Gap Issues Filed (10 items) -**By:** Hockney (Tester) -**What:** 10 moderate CLI/test gaps filed as issues #558–#567: -- #558: Exit code consistency untested -- #559: Timeout edge cases untested -- #560: Missing per-command help -- #561: Shell-specific flag behavior untested -- #562: Env var fallback paths untested -- #563: REPL mode transitions untested -- #564: Config file precedence untested -- #565: Agent spawn flags undocumented -- #566: Untested flag aliases -- #567: Flag parsing error handling untested - -**Why:** Each gap identified in coverage analysis but lacked explicit GitHub tracking for prioritization and team visibility. - -### 2026-02-28: Documentation Audit Results (10 issues) -**By:** McManus (DevRel) -**What:** Docs audit filed 10 GitHub issues (#568–#575, #577–#578) spanning: -- Feature documentation lag (#568 `squad run`, #570 consult mode, #572 Ralph smart triage) -- Terminology inconsistency (#569 triage/watch/loop naming) -- Brand compliance (#571 experimental banner on 40+ docs) -- Clarity/UX gaps (#573 response modes, #575 dual-root, #577 VS Code, #578 session examples) -- Reference issue (#574 README command count) - -**Why:** Features shipped faster than documentation. PR #552, #553 merged without doc updates. No automation to enforce experimental banner. Users discover advanced features accidentally. - -**Root cause:** Feature-docs lag, decision-doc drift, no brand enforcement in CI. - -### 2026-02-28: Dogfood UX Issues Filed (4 items) -**By:** Waingro (Dogfooder) -**What:** Dogfood testing against 8 realistic scenarios surfaced 4 UX issues (filed as #576, #579–#581): -- #576 (P1): Shell launch fails in non-TTY piped mode (Blocks CI) -- #580 (P1): Help text overwhelms new users (44 lines, no tiering) -- #579 (P2): Status shows parent `.squad/` as local (confusing in multi-project workspaces) -- #581 (P2): Error messages show debug output always (noisy production logs) - -**Why:** CLI is solid for happy path but first-time user experience and CI/CD integration have friction points. All 4 block either new user onboarding or automation workflows. - -**Priority:** #576 > #580 > #581 > #579. All should be fixed before next public release. - -### 2026-02-28: decisions.md Aggressive Cleanup -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**What:** Trimmed `decisions.md` from 226KB (223 entries) to 10.3KB (35 entries) — 95% reduction. -- Kept: Core architectural decisions, active process rules, active user directives, current UX conventions, runtime patterns -- Archived: Implementation details, one-time setup, PR reviews, audit reports, wave planning, superseded decisions, duplicates -- Created: `decisions-archive.md` with full original content preserved - -**Why:** Context window bloat during release push. Every agent loads 95% less decisions context. Full history preserved append-only. - -**Impact:** File size reduced, agent context efficiency improved, all decisions preserved in archive. - -### 2026-02-28: Backlog Gap Issues Filed (8 items) -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**Approval:** Brady (via directive in issue request) -**What:** Filed 8 missing backlog items from `.squad/identity/now.md` as GitHub issues. These items were identified as "should-fix" polish or "post-M1" improvements but lacked explicit GitHub tracking until now. - -**Why:** Brady requested: "Cross-reference the known backlog against filed issues and file anything missing." The team had filed 28 issues this session (#554–#581), but 8 known items from `now.md` remained unfiled. Without GitHub issues, these lack ownership assignment, visibility for Wave E planning, trackability in automated workflows, and routing to squad members. - -**Issues Filed:** -- #583 (squad:rabin): Add `homepage` and `bugs` fields to package.json -- #584 (squad:mcmanus): Document alpha→v1.0 breaking change policy in README -- #585 (squad:edie): Add `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` to tsconfig -- #586 (squad:edie): Tighten ~26 `any` types in SDK -- #587 (squad:mcmanus): Add architecture overview doc -- #588 (squad:kujan): Implement SQUAD_DEBUG env var test -- #589 (squad:kujan): One real Copilot SDK integration test -- #590 (squad:baer): `npm audit fix` for dev-dependency ReDoS warnings -- #591 (squad:hockney, type:bug): Aspire dashboard test fails — docker pull in test suite -- #592 (squad:rabin): Replace workspace:* protocol with version string - -**Impact:** Full backlog now visible with explicit issues. No unmapped items. Each issue routed to the squad member domain expert. Issues are independent; can be executed in any order. - -### 2026-02-28: Codebase Scan — Unfiled Issues Audit -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Requested by:** Brady -**Date:** 2026-02-28T22:05:00Z -**Status:** Complete — 2 new issues filed - -**What:** Systematic scan of the codebase to identify known issues that haven't been filed as GitHub issues. Checked: -1. TODO/FIXME/HACK/XXX comments in code -2. TypeScript strict mode violations (@ts-ignore/@ts-expect-error) -3. Skipped/todo tests (.skip() or .todo()) -4. Errant console.log statements -5. Missing package.json metadata fields - -**Findings:** -- Type safety violations: ✅ CLEAN — Zero @ts-ignore/@ts-expect-error found. Strict mode compliance excellent. -- Workspace protocol: ❌ VIOLATION — 1 issue filed (#592): `workspace:*` in squad-cli violates npm workspace convention -- Skipped tests: ❌ GAP — 1 issue filed (#588): SQUAD_DEBUG test is .todo() placeholder -- Console.log: ✅ INTENTIONAL — All are user-facing output (status, errors) -- TODO comments: ✅ TEMPLATES — TODOs in generated workflow templates, not code -- Package.json: ✅ TRACKED — Missing homepage/bugs already filed as #583 - -**Code Quality Assessment:** -- Type Safety (Excellent): Zero violations of strict mode or type suppression. Team decision being followed faithfully. -- TODO/FIXME Comments (Clean): All TODOs in upgrade.ts and workflows.ts are template strings for generated GitHub Actions YAML, intentionally scoped. -- Console Output (Intentional): All are user-facing (dashboard startup, OTLP endpoint, issue labeling, shell loading) — no debug debris. -- Dead Code (None Found): No unreachable code, orphaned functions, or unused exports detected. - -**Recommendations:** -1. Immediate: Fix workspace protocol violation (#592) — violates established team convention -2. Soon: Implement SQUAD_DEBUG test (#588) — fills observable test gap -3. Going forward: Maintain type discipline; review package.json metadata during SDK/CLI version bumps - -**Conclusion:** Codebase in good health. Type safety discipline strong. No hidden technical debt. Conventions mostly followed (one npm workspace exception). Test coverage has minor gaps in observability. - -### 2026-02-28: Auto-link detection for preview builds -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Date:** 2026-02-28 -**What:** When running from source (`VERSION` contains `-preview`), the CLI checks if `@bradygaster/squad-cli` is globally npm-linked. If not, it prompts the developer to link it. Declining creates `~/.squad/.no-auto-link` to suppress future prompts. -**Why:** Dev convenience — saves contributors from forgetting `npm link` after cloning. Non-interactive commands (help, version, export, import, doctor, scrub-emails) skip the check. Everything is wrapped in try/catch so failures are silent. -**Impact:** Only affects `-preview` builds in interactive TTY sessions. No effect on published releases or CI. - -### 2026-03-01T00:34Z: User directive — Full scrollback support in REPL shell -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** The REPL shell must support full scrollback — users should be able to scroll up and down to see all text (paste, run output, rendered content, logs) over time, like GitHub Copilot CLI does. The current Ink-based rendering loses/hides content and that's unacceptable. -**Why:** User request — captured for team memory. This is a P0 UX requirement for the shell. -**Status:** P0 blocking issue. Requires rendering architecture review (Cheritto, Kovash, Marquez). - -### 2026-03-01T04:47Z: User directive — Auto-incrementing build numbers -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** Add auto-incrementing build numbers to versions. Format: `0.8.6.{N}-preview` where N increments each local build. Tracks build-to-release cadence. -**Why:** User request — captured for team memory. - -### 2026-03-01: Nap engine — dual sync/async export pattern -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**What:** The nap engine (`cli/core/nap.ts`) exports both `runNap` (async, for CLI entry) and `runNapSync` (sync, for REPL). All internal operations use sync fs calls. The async wrapper exists for CLI convention consistency. -**Why:** REPL `executeCommand` is synchronous and cannot await. ESM forbids `require()`. Exporting a sync variant keeps the REPL integration clean without changing the shell architecture. -**Impact:** Future commands that need both CLI and REPL support should follow this pattern if they only do sync fs work. - -### 2026-03-01: First-run gating test strategy -**By:** Hockney (Tester) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Issue:** #607 -**What:** Created `test/first-run-gating.test.ts` with 25 tests covering 6 categories of Init Mode gating. Tests use logic-level extraction from App.tsx conditionals, filesystem marker lifecycle via `loadWelcomeData`, and source-code structural assertions for render ordering. No full App component rendering — SDK dependencies make that impractical for unit tests. -**Why:** 3059 tests existed with zero enforcement of first-run gating behavior. The `.first-run` marker, banner uniqueness, assembled-message gating, warning suppression, session-scoped keys, and terminal clear ordering were all untested paths that could regress silently. -**Impact:** All squad members: if you modify `loadWelcomeData`, the `firstRunElement` conditional in App.tsx, or the terminal clear sequence in `runShell`, these tests will catch regressions. The warning suppression tests replicate the `cli-entry.ts` pattern — if that pattern changes, update both locations. - -### Verbal's Analysis: "nap" Skill — Context Window Optimization -**By:** Verbal (Prompt Engineer) -**Requested by:** Brady -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Scope:** Approved. Build it. Current context budget analysis: -- Agent spawn loads charter (~500t) + history + decisions.md (4,852t) + team.md (972t) -- Hockney: 25,940t history (worst offender) -- Fenster: 22,574t (history + CLI inventory) -- Coherence cliff: 40-50K tokens on non-task context - -**Key Recommendations:** -1. **Decision distillation:** Keep decisions.md as single source of truth (don't embed in charters — creates staleness/duplication) -2. **History compression — 12KB rule insufficient:** Six agents blow past threshold. Target **4KB ceiling per history** (~1,000t) with assertions not stories. -3. **Nap should optimize:** Deduplication (strip decisions.md content echoed in histories), staleness (flag closed PRs, merged work), charter bloat (stay <600t), skill pruning (archive high-confidence, no-recent-invocation skills), demand-loading for extra files (CLI inventory, UX catalog, fragility catalog). -4. **Enforcement:** Nap runs periodically or on-demand, enforces hard ceilings without silent quality degradation. - -### ShellApi.clearMessages() for terminal state reset -**By:** Kovash (REPL Expert) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**What:** `ShellApi` now exposes `clearMessages()` which resets both `messages` and `archivedMessages` React state. Used in session restore and `/clear` command. -**Why:** Without clearing archived messages, old content bleeds through when restoring sessions or clearing the shell. The `/clear` command previously only reset `messages`, leaving `archivedMessages` in the Static render list. -**Impact:** Any code calling `shellApi` to reset shell state should use `clearMessages()` rather than manually manipulating message arrays. - -### 2026-03-01: Prompt placeholder hints must not duplicate header banner -**By:** Kovash (REPL Expert) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Issue:** #606 -**What:** The InputPrompt placeholder text must provide *complementary* guidance, never repeat what the header banner already shows. The header banner is the single source of truth for @agent routing and /help discovery. Placeholder hints should surface lesser-known features (tab completion, history navigation, utility commands). -**Why:** Two elements showing "Type @agent or /help" simultaneously creates visual noise and a confusing UX. One consistent prompt style throughout the session. -**Impact:** `getHintText()` in InputPrompt.tsx now has two tiers instead of three. Any future prompt hints should check the header banner first to avoid duplication. - -### 2026-03-02: Paste detection via debounce in InputPrompt -**By:** Kovash (REPL Expert) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**What:** InputPrompt uses a 10ms debounce on `key.return` to distinguish paste from intentional Enter. If more input arrives within 10ms → paste detected → newline preserved. If timer fires without input → real Enter → submit. A `valueRef` (React ref) mirrors mutations synchronously since closure-captured `value` is stale during rapid `useInput` calls. In disabled state, `key.return` appends `\n` to buffer instead of being ignored. -**Why:** Multi-line paste was garbled because `useInput` fires per-character and `key.return` triggered immediate submission. -**Impact:** 10ms delay on single-line submit is imperceptible. UX: multi-line paste preserved. Testing: Hockney should verify paste scenarios use `jest.useFakeTimers()` or equivalent. Future: if Ink adds native bracketed-paste support, debounce can be replaced. - -### 2026-03-01: First-run init messaging — single source of truth -**By:** Kovash (REPL & Interactive Shell) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Issue:** #625 -**What:** When no roster exists, only the header banner tells the user about `squad init` / `/init`. The `firstRunElement` block returns `null` for the empty-roster case instead of showing a duplicate message. `firstRunElement` is reserved for the "Your squad is assembled" onboarding when a roster already exists. -**Why:** Two competing UI elements both said "run squad init" — visual noise that confuses the information hierarchy. Banner is persistent and visible; it owns the no-roster guidance. `firstRunElement` owns the roster-present first-run experience. -**Impact:** App.tsx only. No API or prop changes. Banner text reworded to prioritize `/init` (in-shell path) over exit-and-run. - -### 2026-03-01: NODE_NO_WARNINGS for subprocess warning suppression -**By:** Cheritto (TUI Engineer) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Issue:** #624 -**What:** `process.env.NODE_NO_WARNINGS = '1'` is set as the first executable line in `cli-entry.ts` (line 2, after shebang). This supplements the existing `process.emitWarning` override. -**Why:** The Copilot SDK spawns child processes that inherit environment variables but NOT in-process monkey-patches like `process.emitWarning` overrides. `NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1` is the Node.js-native mechanism for suppressing warnings across an entire process tree. Without it, `ExperimentalWarning` messages (e.g., SQLite) leak into the terminal via the SDK's subprocess stderr forwarding. -**Pattern:** When suppressing Node.js warnings, use BOTH: (1) `process.env.NODE_NO_WARNINGS = '1'` — covers child processes (env var inheritance); (2) `process.emitWarning` override — covers main process (belt-and-suspenders). -**Impact:** Eliminates `ExperimentalWarning` noise in terminal for all Squad CLI users, including when the Copilot SDK spawns subprocesses. - -### 2026-03-01: No content suppression based on terminal width -**By:** Cheritto (TUI Engineer) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**What:** Terminal width tiers (compact ≤60, standard, wide ≥100) may adjust *layout* (e.g., wrapping, column arrangement) but must NOT suppress or truncate *content*. Every piece of information shown at 120 columns must also be shown at 40 columns. -**Why:** Users can scroll. Hiding roster names, spacing, help text, or routing hints on narrow terminals removes information the user needs. Layout adapts to width; content does not. -**Convention:** `compact` variable may be used for layout decisions (flex direction, column vs. row) but must NOT gate visibility of text, spacing, or UI sections. `wide` may add supplementary content but narrow must not remove it. - -### 2026-03-01: Multi-line user message rendering pattern -**By:** Cheritto (TUI Engineer) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**What:** Multi-line user messages in the Static scrollback use `split('\n')` with a column layout: first line gets the `❯` prefix, subsequent lines get `paddingLeft={2}` for alignment. -**Why:** Ink's horizontal `` layout doesn't handle embedded `\n` in `` children predictably when siblings exist. Explicit line splitting with column flex direction gives deterministic multi-line rendering. -**Impact:** Any future changes to user message prefix width must update the `paddingLeft={2}` on continuation lines to match. - -### 2026-03-01: Elapsed time display — inline after message content -**By:** Cheritto (TUI Engineer) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Issue:** #605 -**What:** Elapsed time annotations on completed agent messages are always rendered inline after the message content as `(X.Xs)` in dimColor. This applies to the Static scrollback block in App.tsx, which is the canonical render path for all completed messages. -**Why:** After the Static scrollback refactor, MessageStream receives `messages=[]` and only renders live streaming content. The duration code in MessageStream was dead. Moving duration display into the Static block ensures it always appears consistently. -**Convention:** `formatDuration()` from MessageStream.tsx is the shared formatter. Format is `Xms` for <1s, `X.Xs` for ≥1s. Always inline, always dimColor, always after content text. - -### 2026-03-01: Banner usage line separator convention -**By:** Cheritto (TUI Engineer) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**What:** Banner hint/usage lines use middle dot `·` as inline separator. Init messages use single CTA (no dual-path instructions). -**Why:** Consistent visual rhythm. Middle dot is lighter than em-dash or hyphen for inline command lists. Single CTA reduces cognitive load for new users. -**Impact:** App.tsx headerElement. Future banner copy should follow same separator and single-CTA pattern. - -### 2026-03-02: REPL casting engine design -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**Status:** Implemented -**Issue:** #638 -**What:** Created `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/cast.ts` as a self-contained casting engine with four exports: -1. `parseCastResponse()` — parses the `INIT_TEAM:` format from coordinator output -2. `createTeam()` — scaffolds all `.squad/agents/` directories, writes charters, updates team.md and routing.md, writes casting state JSON -3. `roleToEmoji()` — maps role strings to emoji, reusable across the CLI -4. `formatCastSummary()` — renders a padded roster summary for terminal display - -Scribe and Ralph are always injected if missing from the proposal. Casting state is written to `.squad/casting/` (registry.json, history.json, policy.json). -**Why:** Enables coordinator to propose and create teams from within the REPL session after `squad init`. -**Implications:** - -### 2026-03-02: Beta → Origin Migration: Version Path (v0.5.4 → v0.8.17) - -**By:** Kobayashi (Git & Release) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**Context:** Analyzed migration from beta repo (`bradygaster/squad`, v0.5.4) to origin repo (`bradygaster/squad-pr`, v0.8.18-preview). Version gap spans 0.6.x, 0.7.x, 0.8.0–0.8.16 (internal origin development only). - -**What:** Beta will jump directly from v0.5.4 to v0.8.17 (skip all intermediate versions). Rationale: -1. **Semantic versioning allows gaps** — version numbers are labels, not counters -2. **Users care about features, not numbers** — comprehensive changelog is more valuable than version sequence -3. **Simplicity reduces risk** — single migration release is easier to execute and communicate -4. **Precedent exists** — major refactors/rewrites commonly skip versions (Angular 2→4, etc) - -**Risks & Mitigations:** -- Risk: Version jump confuses users. Mitigation: Clear release notes explaining the gap + comprehensive changelog -- Risk: Intermediate versions were never public (no user expectations). Mitigation: This is actually a benefit — no backfill needed - -**Impact:** After merge, beta repo version jumps from v0.5.4 to v0.8.17. All intermediate work is included in the 0.8.17 release. Next release after v0.8.17 may be v0.8.18 or v0.9.0 (team decision post-merge). - -**Why:** Avoids maintenance burden of backfilling 12+ fake versions. Users get complete feature set in one migration release. - -### 2026-03-02: Beta → Origin Migration: Package Naming - -**By:** Kobayashi (Git & Release) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 - -**What:** Deprecate `@bradygaster/create-squad` (beta's package name). All future releases use: -- `@bradygaster/squad-cli` (user-facing CLI) -- `@bradygaster/squad-sdk` (programmatic SDK for integrations) - -**Why:** Origin's naming is more accurate and supports independent versioning if needed. Monorepo structure benefits from clear package separation. - -**Action:** When v0.8.17 is ready to publish, release a final version of `@bradygaster/create-squad` with deprecation notice: "This package has been renamed to @bradygaster/squad-cli. Install with: npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli" - -**Impact:** Package ecosystem clarity. No breaking change for users upgrading (CLI handles detection and warnings). - -### 2026-03-02: Beta → Origin Migration: Retroactive v0.8.17 Tag - -**By:** Kobayashi (Git & Release) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 - -**What:** Retroactively tag commit `5b57476` ("chore(release): prep v0.8.16 for npm publish") as v0.8.17. This commit and v0.8.16 have identical code. - -**Rationale:** -- Commit `6fdf9d5` jumped directly to v0.8.17-preview (no v0.8.17 release tag exists) -- Commit `87e4f1c` bumps to v0.8.18-preview "after 0.8.17 release" (implying v0.8.17 was released) -- Retroactive tagging is less disruptive than creating a new prep commit and rebasing - -**Action:** When banana gate clears, tag origin commit `5b57476` as v0.8.17. - -**Why:** Completes the missing link in origin's tag history. Indicates to users which commit was released as v0.8.17. - -### 2026-03-02: npx Distribution Migration: Error-Only Shim Strategy - -**By:** Rabin (Distribution) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**Context:** Beta repo currently uses GitHub-native distribution (`npx github:bradygaster/squad`). Origin uses npm distribution (`npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli`). After merge, old path will break. - -**Problem:** After migration, `npx github:bradygaster/squad` fails (root `package.json` has no `bin` entry). Users hitting the old path get cryptic npm error. - -**Solution — Option 5 (Error-only shim):** -1. Add root `bin` entry pointing to `cli.js` -2. `cli.js` detects GitHub-native invocation and prints **bold, clear error** with migration instructions -3. Exit with code 1 (fail fast, no hidden redirection) - -**Implementation:** -```json -{ - "bin": { - "squad": "./cli.js" - } -} -``` - -Update `cli.js` to print error message with new install instructions: -``` -npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli -``` - -**Pros:** -- ✅ Clear, actionable error message (not cryptic npm error) -- ✅ Aligns with npm-only team decision (no perpetuation of GitHub-native path) -- ✅ Low maintenance burden (simple error script, no complex shim) -- ✅ Can be removed in v1.0.0 when beta users have migrated - -**Cons:** -- Immediate breakage (no grace period) — but users get clear guidance - -**Why This Over Others:** -- Option 1 (keep working) contradicts npm-only decision -- Option 2 (exit early) same as this, but explicit error format needed -- Option 3 (time-limited) best UX but maintenance burden -- Option 4 (just break) user-hostile without error message -- **Option 5 balances user experience + team decision** - -**Related Decision:** See 2026-02-21 decision "Distribution is npm-only (GitHub-native removed)" - -**User Impact:** -- Users running `npx github:bradygaster/squad` see bold error with `npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli` instruction -- Existing projects running `squad upgrade` work seamlessly (upgrade logic built-in) -- No data loss or silent breakage - -**Upgrade Path (existing beta users):** -```bash -npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli -cd /path/to/project -squad upgrade -squad upgrade --migrate-directory # Optional: .ai-team/ → .squad/ -``` - -**Why:** Rabin's principle: "If users have to think about installation, install is broken." A clear error message respects users better than a cryptic npm error. - -### 2026-02-28: Init flow reliability — proposal-first before code - -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**Date:** 2026-02-28 -**What:** Init/onboarding fixes require a proposal review before implementation. Proposal at `docs/proposals/reliable-init-flow.md`. Two confirmed bugs (race condition in auto-cast, Ctrl+C doesn't abort init session) plus UX gaps (empty-roster messaging, `/init` no-op). P0 bugs are surgical — don't expand scope. -**Why:** Four PRs (#637–#640) patched init iteratively without a unified design. Before writing more patches, the team needs to agree on the golden path. Proposal-first (per team decision 2026-02-21). -**Impact:** Blocks init-related code changes until Brady reviews the proposal. -- Kovash (REPL): Can call `parseCastResponse` + `createTeam` to wire up casting flow in shell dispatcher -- Verbal (Prompts): INIT_TEAM format is now the contract — coordinator prompt should emit this -- Hockney (Tests): cast.ts needs unit tests for parser edge cases, emoji mapping, file creation - -### 2026-03-02: REPL empty-roster gate — dual check pattern -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**What:** REPL dispatch is now gated on *populated* roster, not just team.md existence. `hasRosterEntries()` in `coordinator.ts` checks for table data rows in the `## Members` section. Two layers: `handleDispatch` blocks with user guidance, `buildCoordinatorPrompt` injects refusal prompt. -**Why:** After `squad init`, team.md exists but is empty. Coordinator received a "route to agents" prompt with no agents listed, causing silent generic AI behavior. Users never got told to cast their team. -**Convention:** Post-init message references "Copilot session" (works in VS Code, github.com, and Copilot CLI). The `/init` slash command provides same guidance inside REPL. -**Impact:** All agents — if you modify the `## Members` table format in team.md templates, update `hasRosterEntries()` to match. - -### 2026-03-02: Connection promise dedup in SquadClient -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**What:** `SquadClient.connect()` now uses a promise dedup pattern — concurrent callers share the same in-flight `connectPromise` instead of throwing "Connection already in progress". -**Why:** Eager warm-up and auto-cast both call `createSession()` → `connect()` at REPL startup, racing on the connection. The throw crashed auto-cast every time. -**Impact:** `packages/squad-sdk/src/adapter/client.ts` only. No API surface change. - -### 2026-03-01: CLI UI Polish PRD — Alpha Shipment Over Perfection -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Context:** Team image review identified 20+ UX issues ranging from P0 blockers to P3 future polish - -**What:** CLI UI polish follows pragmatic alpha shipment strategy: fix P0 blockers + P1 quick wins, defer grand redesign to post-alpha. 20 discrete issues created with clear priority tiers (P0/P1/P2/P3). - -**Why:** Brady confirmed "alpha-level shipment acceptable — no grand redesign today." Team converged on 3 P0 blockers (blank screens, static spinner, missing alpha banner) that would embarrass us vs. 15+ polish items that can iterate post-ship. - -**Trade-off:** Shipping with known layout quirks (input positioning, responsive tables) rather than blocking on 1-2 week TUI refactor. Users expect alpha rough edges IF we warn them upfront. - -**Priority Rationale:** -- **P0 (must fix):** User-facing broken states — blank screens, no feedback, looks crashed -- **P1 (quick wins):** Accessibility (contrast), usability (copy clarity), visual hierarchy — high ROI, low effort -- **P2 (next sprint):** Layout architecture, responsive design — important but alpha-acceptable if missing -- **P3 (future):** Fixed bottom input, alt screen buffer, creative spinner — delightful but not blockers - -**Architectural Implications:** -1. **Quick win discovered:** App.tsx overrides ThinkingIndicator's native rotation with static hints (~5 line fix) -2. **Debt acknowledged:** 3 separate separator implementations need consolidation (P2 work) -3. **Layout strategy:** Ink's layout model fights bottom-anchored input. Alt screen buffer is the real solution (P3 deferred). -4. **Issue granularity:** 20 discrete issues vs. 1 monolithic "fix UI" epic — enables parallel work by Cheritto (11 issues), Kovash (4), Redfoot (2), Fenster (1), Marquez (1 review) - -**Success Gate:** "Brady says it doesn't embarrass us" — qualitative gate appropriate for alpha software. Quantitative gates: zero blank screens >500ms, contrast ≥4.5:1, spinner rotates every 3s. - -**Impact:** -- **Team routing:** Clear ownership — Cheritto (TUI), Kovash (shell), Redfoot (design), Marquez (UX review) -- **Timeline transparency:** P0 (1-2 days) → P1 (2-3 days) → P2 (1 week) — alpha ship when P0+P1 done -- **Expectation management:** Out of Scope section explicitly lists grand redesign, advanced features, WCAG audit — prevents scope creep - -### 2026-03-01: Cast confirmation required for freeform REPL casts -**By:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Context:** P2 from Keaton's reliable-init-flow proposal - -**What:** When a user types a freeform message in the REPL and the roster is empty, the cast proposal is shown and the user must confirm (y/yes) before team files are created. Auto-cast from .init-prompt and /init "prompt" skip confirmation since the user explicitly provided the prompt. - -**Why:** Prevents garbage casts from vague or accidental first messages (e.g., "hello", "what can you do?"). Matches the squad.agent.md Init Mode pattern where confirmation is required before creating team files. - -**Pattern:** pendingCastConfirmation state in shell/index.ts. handleDispatch intercepts y/n at the top before normal routing. inalizeCast() is the shared helper for both auto-confirmed and user-confirmed paths. - -### 2026-03-01: Expose setProcessing on ShellApi -**By:** Kovash (REPL Expert) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Context:** Init auto-cast path bypassed App.tsx handleSubmit, so processing state was never set — spinner invisible during team casting. - -**What:** ShellApi now exposes setProcessing(processing: boolean) so that any code path in index.ts that triggers async work outside of handleSubmit can properly bracket it with processing state. This enables ThinkingIndicator and InputPrompt spinner without duplicating React state management. - -**Rule:** Any new async dispatch path in index.ts that bypasses handleSubmit **must** call shellApi.setProcessing(true) before the async work and shellApi.setProcessing(false) in a inally block covering all exit paths. - -**Files Changed:** -- packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/App.tsx — added setProcessing to ShellApi interface + wired in onReady -- packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/index.ts — added setProcessing calls in handleInitCast (entry, pendingCastConfirmation return, finally block) - -### 2026-03-01T20:13:16Z: User directives — UI polish and shipping priorities -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -Ampersands (&) are prohibited in user-facing documentation headings and body text, per Microsoft Style Guide. - -**Rule:** Use "and" instead. - -**Why:** Microsoft Style Guide prioritizes clarity and professionalism.

Acknowledge receipt without echoing values. -**Why:** Secrets in logs or history are a security incident waiting to happen. - - ---- - -## Squad Ecosystem Boundaries & Content Governance - -### Squad Docs vs Squad IRL Boundary (consolidated) -**By:** PAO (via Copilot), Flight -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** Active pattern for all documentation PRs - -**Litmus test:** If Squad doesn't ship the code or configuration, the documentation belongs in Squad IRL, not the Squad framework docs. - -**Categories:** - -1. **Squad docs** — Features Squad ships (routing, charters, reviewer protocol, config, behavior) -2. **Squad IRL** — Infrastructure around Squad (webhooks, deployment patterns, logging, external tools, operational patterns) -3. **Gray area:** Platform features (GitHub Issue Templates) → Squad docs if framed as "how to configure X for Squad" - -**Examples applied (PR #331):** - -| Document | Decision | Reason | -|----------|----------|--------| -| ralph-operations.md | DELETE → IRL | Infrastructure (deployment, logging) around Squad, not Squad itself | -| proactive-communication.md | DELETE → IRL | External tools (Teams, WorkIQ) configured by community, not built into Squad | -| issue-templates.md | KEEP, reframe | GitHub platform feature; clarify scope: "a GitHub feature configured for Squad" | -| reviewer-protocol.md (Trust Levels) | KEEP | Documents user choice spectrum within Squad's existing review system | - -**Enforcement:** Code review + reframe pattern ("GitHub provides X. Here's how to configure it for Squad's needs."). Mark suspicious deletions for restore (append-only governance). - -**Future use:** Apply this pattern to all documentation PRs to maintain clean boundaries. - - ---- - -### Content Triage Skill — External Content Integration -**By:** Flight -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** Skill created at `.squad/skills/content-triage/SKILL.md` - -**Pattern:** External content (blog posts, sample repos, videos, conference talks) that helps Squad adoption must be triaged using the "Squad Ships It" boundary heuristic before incorporation. - -**Workflow:** -1. Triggered by `content-triage` label or external content reference in issue -2. Flight performs boundary analysis -3. Sub-issues generated for Squad-ownable content extraction (PAO responsibility) -4. FIDO verifies docs-test sync on extracted content -5. Scribe manages IRL references in `.github/irl/references.yml` (YAML schema) - -**Label convention:** `content:blog`, `content:sample`, `content:video`, `content:talk` - -**Why:** Pattern from PR #331 (Tamir Dresher blog) shows parallel extraction of Squad-ownable patterns (scenario guides, reviewer protocol) and infrastructure patterns (Ralph ops, proactive comms). Without clear boundary, teams pollute Squad docs with operational content or miss valuable patterns that should be generalized. - -**Impact:** Enables community content to accelerate Squad adoption without polluting core docs. Flight's boundary analysis becomes reusable decision framework. Prevents scope creep as adoption grows. - - ---- - -### PR #331 Quality Gate — Test Assertion Sync -**By:** FIDO (Quality Owner) -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** 🟢 CLEARED (test fix applied, commit 6599db6) - -**What was blocked:** Merge blocked on stale test assertions in `test/docs-build.test.ts`. - -**Critical violations resolved:** -1. `EXPECTED_SCENARIOS` array stale (7 vs 25 disk files) — ✅ Updated to 25 entries -2. `EXPECTED_FEATURES` constant undefined (32 feature files) — ✅ Created array with 32 entries -3. Test assertion incomplete — ✅ Updated to validate features section - -**Why this matters:** Stale assertions that don't reflect filesystem state cause silent test skips. Regression: If someone deletes a scenario file, the test won't catch it. CI passing doesn't guarantee test coverage — only that the test didn't crash. - -**Lessons:** -- Test arrays must be refreshed when filesystem content changes -- Incomplete commits break the test-reality sync contract -- FIDO's charter: When adding test count assertions, must keep in sync with disk state - -**Outcome:** Test suite: 6/6 passing. Assertions synced to filesystem. No regression risk from stale assertions. - - ---- - -### Communication Patterns and PR Trust Models -**By:** PAO -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** Documented in features/reviewer-protocol.md (trust levels section) and scenarios/proactive-communication.md (infrastructure pattern) - -**Decision:** Document emerging patterns in real Squad usage: proactive communication loops and PR review trust spectrum. - -**Components:** - -1. **Proactive communication patterns** — Outbound notifications (Teams webhooks), inbound scanning (Teams/email for work items), two-way feedback loop connecting external sources to Squad workflow - -2. **PR trust levels spectrum:** - - **Full review** (default for team repos) — All PRs require human review - - **Selective review** (personal projects with patterns) — Domain-expert or routine PRs can auto-merge - - **Self-managing** (solo personal repos only) — PRs auto-merge; Ralph's work monitoring provides retroactive visibility - -**Why:** Ralph 24/7 autonomous deployment creates an awareness gap — how does the human stay informed? Outbound notifications solve visibility. Inbound scanning solves "work lives in multiple places." Trust levels let users tune oversight to their context (full review for team repos, selective for personal projects, self-managing for solo work only). - -**Important caveat:** Self-managing ≠ unmonitored; Ralph's work monitoring and notifications provide retroactive visibility. - -**Anti-spam expectations:** Don't spam yourself outbound (notification fatigue), don't spam GitHub inbound (volume controls). - - ---- - -### Remote Squad Access — Phased Rollout (Proposed) -**By:** Flight -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** Proposed — awaits proposal document in `docs/proposals/remote-squad-access.md` - -**Context:** Squad currently requires a local clone to answer questions. Users want remote access from mobile, browser, or different machine without checking out repo. - -**Phases:** - -**Phase 1: GitHub Discussions Bot (Ship First)** -- Surface: GitHub Discussions -- Trigger: `/squad` command or `@squad` mention -- Context: GitHub Actions workflow checks out repo → full `.squad/` state -- Response: Bot replies to thread -- Feasibility: 1 day -- Why first: Easy to build, zero hosting, respects repo privacy, async Q&A, immediately useful - -**Phase 2: GitHub Copilot Extension (High Value)** -- Surface: GitHub Copilot chat (VS Code, CLI, web, mobile) -- Trigger: `/squad ask {question}` in any Copilot client -- Context: Extension fetches `.squad/` files via GitHub API (no clone) -- Response: Answer inline in Copilot -- Feasibility: 1 week -- Why second: Works everywhere Copilot exists, instant response, natural UX - -**Phase 3: Slack/Teams Bot (Enterprise Value)** -- Surface: Slack or Teams channel -- Trigger: `@squad` mention in channel -- Context: Webhook fetches `.squad/` via GitHub API -- Response: Bot replies in thread -- Feasibility: 2 weeks -- Why third: Enterprise teams live in chat; high value for companies using Squad - -**Constraint:** Squad's intelligence lives in `.squad/` (roster, routing, decisions, histories). Any remote solution must solve context access. GitHub Actions workflows provide checkout for free. Copilot Extension and chat bots use GitHub API to fetch files. - -**Implementation:** Before Phase 1 execution, write proposal document. New CLI command: `squad answer --context discussions --question "..."`. New workflow: `.github/workflows/squad-answer.yml`. - -**Privacy:** All approaches respect repo visibility or require authentication. Most teams want private by default. - -### Test assertion discipline — mandatory -**By:** FIDO (formerly Hockney), v0.8.24 -**What:** All code agents must update tests when changing APIs. FIDO has PR blocking authority on quality grounds. -**Why:** APIs changed without test updates caused CI failures and blocked external contributors. - -### Docs-test sync — mandatory -**By:** PAO (formerly McManus), v0.8.24 -**What:** New docs pages require corresponding test assertion updates in the same commit. -**Why:** Stale test assertions block CI and frustrate contributors. - -### Contributor recognition — every release -**By:** PAO, v0.8.24 -**What:** Each release includes an update to the Contributors Guide page. -**Why:** No contribution goes unappreciated. - -### API-test sync cross-check -**By:** FIDO + Booster, v0.8.24 -**What:** Booster adds CI check for stale test assertions. FIDO enforces via PR review. -**Why:** Prevents the pattern of APIs changing without test updates. - -### Doc-impact review — every PR -**By:** PAO, v0.8.25 -**What:** Every PR must be evaluated for documentation impact. PAO reviews PRs for missing or outdated docs. -**Why:** Code changes without doc updates lead to stale guides and confused users. - - ---- - -## Release v0.8.24 - -### CLI Packaging Smoke Test: Release Gate Decision -**By:** FIDO, v0.8.24 -**Date:** 2026-03-08 - -The CLI packaging smoke test is APPROVED as the quality gate for npm releases. - -**What:** -1. Text box preference: bottom-aligned, squared off (like Copilot CLI / Claude CLI) — future work, not today -2. Alpha-level shipment acceptable for now — no grand UI redesign today -3. CLI must show "experimental, please file issues" banner -4. Spinner/wait messages should rotate every ~3 seconds — use codebase facts, project trivia, vulnerability info, or creative "-ing" words. Never just spin silently. -5. Use wait time to inform or entertain users - -**Why:** User request — captured for team memory and crash recovery - -### 2026-03-01T20:16:00Z: User directive — CLI timeout too low -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 - -**What:** The CLI timeout is set too low — Brady tried using Squad CLI in this repo and it didn't work well. Timeout needs to be increased. Not urgent but should be captured as a CLI improvement opportunity. - -**Why:** User request — captured for team memory and PRD inclusion - -### 2026-03-01: Multi-Squad Storage & Resolution Design -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**What:** -- New directory structure: ~/.config/squad/squads/{name}/.squad/ with ~/.config/squad/config.json for registry -- Keep -esolveGlobalSquadPath() unchanged; add -esolveNamedSquadPath(name?: string) and listPersonalSquads() on top -- Auto-migration: existing single personal squad moves to squads/default/ on first run -- Resolution priority: explicit (CLI flag) > project config > env var > git remote mapping > path mapping > default -- Global config.json schema: { version, defaultSquad, squads, mappings } - -**Why:** -- squads/ container avoids collisions with existing files at global root -- Backward-compatible: legacy layout detected and auto-migrated; existing code continues to work -- Clean separation: global config lives alongside squads, not inside any one squad -- Resolution chain enables flexible mapping without breaking existing workflows - -### 2026-03-01: Multi-Squad SDK Functions -**By:** Kujan (SDK Expert) -**What:** -- New SDK exports: -esolveNamedSquadPath(), listSquads(), createSquad(), deleteSquad(), switchSquad(), -esolveSquadForProject() -- New type: SquadEntry { name, path, isDefault, createdAt } -- squads.json registry (separate file, not config.json) with squad metadata and mappings -- SquadDirConfig v2 addition: optional personalSquad?: string field (v1 configs unaffected) -- Consult mode updated: setupConsultMode(options?: { squad?: string }) with explicit selection or auto-resolution - -**Why:** -- Lazy migration with fallback chain ensures zero breaking changes to existing users -- Separate squads.json is single source of truth for routing; keeps project config focused -- Version handling allows incremental adoption; v1 configs work unchanged -- SDK resolution functions can be called from CLI and library code without duplication - -### 2026-03-01: Multi-Squad CLI Commands & REPL -**By:** Kovash (REPL) -**What:** -- New commands: squad list, squad create , squad switch , squad delete -- Modified commands: squad consult --squad=, squad extract --squad=, squad init --global --name= -- Interactive picker for squad selection: arrow keys (↑/↓), Enter to confirm, Ctrl+C to cancel -- REPL integration: /squad and /squads slash commands with riggerSquadReload signal -- .active file stores current active squad name (plain text) -- Status command enhanced to show active squad and squad list - -**Why:** -- Picker only shows when needed (multiple squads) and TTY available; non-TTY gracefully uses active squad -- Slash commands follow existing pattern (/init, /agents, etc.); seamless REPL integration -- .active file is simple and atomic; suitable for concurrent CLI access -- Squad deletion safety: cannot delete active squad; requires confirmation - -### 2026-03-01: Multi-Squad UX & Interaction Design -**By:** Marquez (UX Designer) -**What:** -- Visual indicator: current squad marked with ●, others with ○; non-default squads tagged [switched] -- Squad name always visible in REPL header and prompt: ◆ Squad (client-acme) -- Picker interactions: ↑/↓ navigate, Enter select, Esc/Ctrl+C cancel; 5-7 squads displayed, wrap around -- Error states: clear copy with next actions (e.g., "Squad not found. Try @squad:personal." or "Run /squads to list.") -- Copy style: active verbs (Create, Switch, List), human-readable nouns (no jargon), 3-5 words per line -- Onboarding: fresh install defaults to "personal"; existing single-squad users see migration notice - -**Why:** -- Persistent context (squad name in header/prompt) prevents "Which squad am I in?" confusion -- Interactive picker is discoverable and non-blocking; minimal cognitive load -- Error messages with next actions reduce support friction -- Onboarding defaults and migration notices ensure smooth upgrade path for existing users - -# Decision: Separator component is canonical for horizontal rules - -**By:** Cheritto (TUI Engineer) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**Issues:** #655, #670, #671, #677 - -## What - -- All horizontal separator lines in shell components must use the shared `Separator` component (`components/Separator.tsx`), not inline `box.h.repeat()` calls. -- The `Separator` component handles terminal capability detection, box-drawing character degradation, and width computation internally. -- Information hierarchy convention: **bold** for primary CTAs (commands, actions) > normal for content > **dim** for metadata (timestamps, status, hints). -- `flexGrow` should not be used on containers that may be empty — it creates dead space in Ink layouts. - -## Why - -Duplicated separator logic was found in 3 files (App.tsx, AgentPanel.tsx, MessageStream.tsx). Consolidation to a single component prevents drift and makes it trivial to change separator style globally. The info hierarchy and whitespace conventions ensure visual consistency as new components are added. -### 2026-03-01: PR #547 Remote Control Feature — Architectural Review -**By:** Fenster -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**PR:** #547 "Squad Remote Control - PTY mirror + devtunnel for phone access" by tamirdresher (external) - -## Context - -External contributor Tamir Dresher submitted a PR adding `squad start --tunnel` command to run Copilot in a PTY and mirror terminal output to phone/browser via WebSocket + Microsoft Dev Tunnels. - -## Architectural Question - -Is remote terminal access via devtunnel + PTY mirroring in scope for Squad v1 core? - -## Technical Assessment - -**What works:** -- RemoteBridge WebSocket server architecture is sound -- PTY mirroring approach is technically correct -- Session management dashboard is useful -- Security headers and CSP are present -- Test coverage exists (18 tests, though failing due to build issues) - -**Critical blockers:** -1. **Build broken** — TypeScript errors in `start.ts`, all tests failing -2. **Command injection vulnerability** — `execFileSync` with string interpolation in `rc-tunnel.ts` -3. **Native dependency** — `node-pty` requires C++ compiler (install friction) -4. **Windows-only effectively** — hardcoded paths, devtunnel CLI Windows-centric -5. **No cross-platform strategy** — macOS/Linux support unclear - -**Architectural concerns:** - -### 2026-03-02T23:36:00Z: Version target — v0.6.0 for public migration **[SUPERSEDED — see line 1046]** -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** The public migration from squad-pr to squad should target v0.6.0, not v0.8.17. This overrides Kobayashi's Phase 5 Option A recommendation. The public repo (bradygaster/squad) goes from v0.5.4 → v0.6.0 — a clean minor bump. -**Why:** User directive. v0.6.0 is the logical next public version from v0.5.4. Internal version numbers (0.6.x–0.8.x) were private development milestones. -**[CORRECTION — 2026-03-03]:** This decision was REVERSED by Brady. Brady explicitly stated: "0.6.0 should NOT appear as the goal for ANY destination. I want the beta to become 0.8.17." The actual migration target is v0.8.17. See the superseding "Versioning Model: npm packages vs Public Repo Tags" decision at line 1046 which clarifies that v0.6.0 is a public repo tag only, while npm packages remain at 0.8.17. Current migration documentation correctly references v0.8.17 throughout. -1. **Not integrated with Squad runtime** — doesn't use EventBus, Coordinator, or agent orchestration. Isolated feature. -2. **Two separate modes** — PTY mode (`start.ts`) vs. ACP passthrough mode (`rc.ts`). Why both? -3. **New CLI paradigm** — "start" implies daemon/server, not interactive mirroring. Command naming collision risk. -4. **External dependency** — requires `devtunnel` CLI installed + authenticated. Not bundled, not auto-installed. -5. **Audit logs** — go to `~/.cli-tunnel/audit/` instead of `.squad/log/` (inconsistent with Squad state location). - -## Recommendation - -**Request Changes** — Do not merge until: -1. TypeScript build errors fixed -2. Command injection vulnerability patched (use array args, no interpolation) -3. Tests passing (currently 18/18 failing) -4. Cross-platform support documented or Windows-only label added -5. Architectural decision on scope: Is this core or plugin? - -**If approved as core feature:** -- Extract to plugin first, prove value, then consider core integration -- Unify PTY vs. ACP modes (pick one) -- Integrate with EventBus/Coordinator (or explain why isolated is correct) -- Rename command to `squad remote` or `squad tunnel` (avoid `start` collision) -- Move audit logs to `.squad/log/` - -**If approved as plugin:** -- This is the right path — keeps core small, proves value independently -- Still fix security issues before merge to plugin repo - -## For Brady - -You requested a runtime review. Here's the verdict: - -- **Concept is cool** — phone access to Copilot is a real use case. -- **Implementation needs work** — build broken, security issues, Windows-only. -- **Architectural fit unclear** — not in any Squad v1 PRD. No integration with agent orchestration. -- **Native dependency risk** — `node-pty` adds install friction (C++ compiler required). - -**My take:** This belongs in a plugin, not core. External contributor did solid work on the WebSocket bridge, but Squad v1 needs to ship agent orchestration first. Remote access is a nice-to-have, not a v1 must-have. - -If you want this in v1, we need a proposal (docs/proposals/) first. - -### 2026-03-02: Multi-squad test contract — squads.json schema -**By:** Hockney (Tester) -**Date:** 2026-03-02 -**Issue:** #652 - -## What - -Tests for multi-squad (PR #690) encode a specific squads.json contract: - -```typescript -interface SquadsJson { - version: 1; - defaultSquad: string; - squads: Record; -} -``` - -Squad name validation regex: `^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]{0,38}[a-z0-9])?$` (kebab-case, 1-40 chars). - -## Why - -Fenster's implementation should match this schema. If the schema changes, tests need updating. Recording so the team knows the contract is encoded in tests. - -## Impact - -Fenster: Align `multi-squad.ts` types with this schema, or flag if different — Hockney will adjust tests. - -### 2026-03-02: PR #582 Review — Consult Mode Implementation -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Context:** External contributor PR from James Sturtevant (jsturtevant) - -## Decision - -**Do not merge PR #582 in its current form.** - -This is a planning document (PRD) masquerading as implementation. The PR contains: -- An excellent 854-line PRD for consult mode -- Test stubs for non-existent functions -- Zero actual implementation code -- A history entry claiming work is done (aspirational, not factual) - -## Required Actions - -1. **Extract PRD to proper location:** - - Move `.squad/identity/prd-consult-mode.md` → `docs/proposals/consult-mode.md` - - PRDs belong in proposals/, not identity/ - -2. **Close this PR with conversion label:** - - Label: "converted-to-proposal" - - Comment: Acknowledge excellent design work, explain missing implementation - -3. **Create implementation issues from PRD phases:** - - Phase 1: SDK changes (SquadDirConfig, resolution helpers) - - Phase 2: CLI command implementation - - Phase 3: Extraction workflow - - Each phase: discrete PR with actual code + tests - -4. **Architecture discussion needed before implementation:** - - How does consult mode integrate with existing sharing/ module? - - Session learnings vs agent history — conceptual model mismatch - - Remote mode (teamRoot pointer) vs copy approach — PRD contradicts itself - -## Architectural Guidance - -**What's right:** -- `consult: true` flag in config.json ✅ -- `.git/info/exclude` for git invisibility ✅ -- `git rev-parse --git-path info/exclude` for worktree compatibility ✅ -- Separate extraction command (`squad extract`) ✅ -- License risk detection (copyleft) ✅ - -**What needs rethinking:** -- Reusing `sharing/` module (history split vs learnings extraction — different domains) -- PRD flip-flops between "copy squad" and "remote mode teamRoot pointer" -- No design for how learnings are structured or extracted -- Tests before code (cart before horse) - -## Pattern Observed - -James Sturtevant is a thoughtful contributor who understands the product vision. The PRD is coherent and well-structured. This connects to his #652 issue (Multiple Personal Squads) — consult mode is a stepping stone to multi-squad workflows. - -**Recommendation:** Engage James in architecture discussion before he writes code. This feature has implications for the broader personal squad vision. Get alignment on: -1. Sharing module fit (or new consult module?) -2. Learnings structure and extraction strategy -3. Phase boundaries and deliverables - -## Why This Matters - -External contributors are engaging with Squad's architecture. We need to guide them toward shippable PRs, not just accept aspirational work. Setting clear expectations now builds trust and avoids wasted effort. - -## Files Referenced - -- `.squad/identity/prd-consult-mode.md` (PRD, should move) -- `test/consult.test.ts` (tests for non-existent code) -- `.squad/agents/fenster/history.md` (claims work done) -- `packages/squad-sdk/src/resolution.ts` (needs `consult` field, unchanged in PR) - - -### cli.js is now a thin ESM shim - -**By:** Fenster -**Date:** 2025-07 -**What:** `cli.js` at repo root is a 14-line shim that imports `./packages/squad-cli/dist/cli-entry.js`. It no longer contains bundled CLI code. The deprecation notice only displays when invoked via npm/npx. -**Why:** The old bundled cli.js was stale and missing commands added after the monorepo migration (e.g., `aspire`). A shim ensures `node cli.js` always runs the latest built CLI. -**Impact:** `node cli.js` now requires `npm run build` to have been run first (so `packages/squad-cli/dist/cli-entry.js` exists). This was already the case for any development workflow. - - -### 2026-03-02T01-09-49Z: User directive -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** Stop distributing the package via NPX and GitHub. Only distribute via NPM from now on. Go from the public version to whatever version we're in now in the private repo. Adopt the versioning scheme from issue #692. -**Why:** User request — captured for team memory - -# Release Plan Update — npm-only Distribution & Semver Fix (#692) - -**Status:** DECIDED -**Decided by:** Kobayashi (Git & Release) -**Date:** 2026-03-01T14:22Z -**Context:** Brady's two strategic decisions on distribution and versioning - -## Decisions - -### 1. NPM-Only Distribution -- **What:** End GitHub-native distribution (`npx github:bradygaster/squad`). Install exclusively via npm registry. -- **How:** Users install via `npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli` (global) or `npx @bradygaster/squad-cli` (per-project). -- **Why:** Simplified distribution, centralized source of truth, standard npm tooling conventions. -- **Scope:** Affects all future releases, all external documentation, and CI/CD publish workflows. -- **Owners:** Rabin (docs), Fenster (scripts), all team members (update docs/sample references). - -### 2. Semantic Versioning Fix (#692) -- **Problem:** Versions were `X.Y.Z.N-preview` (four-part with prerelease after), which violates semver spec. -- **Solution:** Correct format is `X.Y.Z-preview.N` (prerelease identifier comes after patch, before any build metadata). -- **Examples:** - - ❌ Invalid: `0.8.6.1-preview`, `0.8.6.16-preview` - - ✅ Valid: `0.8.6-preview.1`, `0.8.6-preview.16` -- **Impact:** Affects all version strings going forward (package.json, CLI version constant, release tags). -- **Release sequence:** - 1. Pre-release: `X.Y.Z-preview.1`, `X.Y.Z-preview.2`, ... - 2. At publish: Bump to `X.Y.Z` - 3. Post-publish: Bump to `{next}-preview.1` (reset counter) - -### 3. Version Continuity -- **Transition:** Public repo ended at `0.8.5.1`. Private repo continues at `0.8.6-preview` (following semver format). -- **Rationale:** Clear break between public (stable) and private (dev) codebases while maintaining version history continuity. - -## Implementation - -- ✅ **CHANGELOG.md:** Added "Changed" section documenting distribution channel and semver fix. -- ✅ **Charter (Kobayashi):** Updated Release Versioning Sequence with corrected pattern and phase description. -- ✅ **History (Kobayashi):** Logged decision with rationale and scope. - -## Dependent Work - -- **Fenster:** Ensure `bump-build.mjs` implements X.Y.Z-preview.N pattern (not X.Y.Z.N-preview). -- **Rabin:** Update README, docs, and all install instructions to reflect npm-only distribution. -- **All:** Use corrected version format in release commits, tags, and announcements. - -## Notes - -- Zero impact on functionality — this is purely distribution and versioning cleanup. -- Merge drivers on `.squad/agents/kobayashi/history.md` ensure this decision appends safely across parallel branches. -- If questions arise about versioning during releases, refer back to Charter § Release Versioning Sequence. - -# Decision: npm-only distribution (GitHub-native removed) - -**By:** Rabin (Distribution) -**Date:** 2026-03-01 -**Requested by:** Brady - -## What Changed - -All distribution now goes through npm. The `npx github:bradygaster/squad` path has been fully removed from: -- Source code (github-dist.ts default template, install-migration.ts, init.ts) -- All 4 copies of squad.agent.md (Ralph Watch Mode commands) -- All 4 copies of squad-insider-release.yml (release notes) -- README.md, migration guides, blog posts, cookbook, installation docs -- Test assertions (bundle.test.ts) -- Rabin's own charter (flipped from "never npmjs.com" to "always npmjs.com") - -## Install Paths (the only paths) - -```bash -# Global install -npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli - -# Per-use (no install) -npx @bradygaster/squad-cli - -# SDK for programmatic use -npm install @bradygaster/squad-sdk -``` - -## Why - -One distribution channel means less confusion, fewer edge cases, and zero SSH-agent hang bugs. npm caching makes installs faster. Semantic versioning works properly. The root `cli.js` still exists with a deprecation notice for anyone who somehow hits the old path. - -## Impact - -- **All team members:** When writing docs or examples, use `npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli` or `npx @bradygaster/squad-cli`. Never reference `npx github:`. -- **CI/CD:** Insider release workflow now shows npm install commands in release notes. -- **Tests:** bundle.test.ts assertions updated to match new default template. - - -# Decision: Versioning Model — npm Packages vs Public Repo - -**Date:** 2026-03-03T02:45:00Z -**Decided by:** Kobayashi (Git & Release specialist) -**Related issues:** Migration prep, clarifying confusion between npm and public repo versions -**Status:** Active — team should reference this in all future releases - -## The Problem - -The migration process had introduced confusion about which version number applies where: -- Coordinator incorrectly bumped npm package versions to 0.6.0, creating version mismatch -- Migration checklist had npm packages publishing as 0.6.0 -- CHANGELOG treated 0.6.0 as an npm package version -- No clear distinction between "npm packages version" vs "public repo GitHub release tag" -- Risk of future mistakes during releases - -## The Model (CORRECT) - -Two distinct version numbers serve two distinct purposes: - -### 1. npm Packages: `@bradygaster/squad-cli` and `@bradygaster/squad-sdk` - -- **Follow semver cadence from current version:** Currently at 0.8.17 (published to npm) -- **Next publish after 0.8.17:** 0.8.18 (NOT 0.6.0) -- **Development versions:** Use `X.Y.Z-preview.N` format (e.g., 0.8.18-preview.1, 0.8.18-preview.2) -- **Release sequence per Kobayashi charter:** - 1.

But worth noting for future patch releases. - -## Directive Merged - -Brady's directive (2026-03-03T02:16:00Z): "squad-cli and squad-sdk must NOT be bumped down to 0.6.0. They are already shipped to npm at 0.8.17." - -✅ **Incorporated:** All fixes ensure npm packages stay at 0.8.x.

Here's how to configure it for Squad's needs."). Mark suspicious deletions for restore (append-only governance). - -**Future use:** Apply this pattern to all documentation PRs to maintain clean boundaries. - ---- - -### Content Triage Skill — External Content Integration -**By:** Flight -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** Skill created at `.squad/skills/content-triage/SKILL.md` - -**Pattern:** External content (blog posts, sample repos, videos, conference talks) that helps Squad adoption must be triaged using the "Squad Ships It" boundary heuristic before incorporation. - -**Workflow:** -1. Triggered by `content-triage` label or external content reference in issue -2. Flight performs boundary analysis -3. Sub-issues generated for Squad-ownable content extraction (PAO responsibility) -4. FIDO verifies docs-test sync on extracted content -5. Scribe manages IRL references in `.github/irl/references.yml` (YAML schema) - -**Label convention:** `content:blog`, `content:sample`, `content:video`, `content:talk` - -**Why:** Pattern from PR #331 (Tamir Dresher blog) shows parallel extraction of Squad-ownable patterns (scenario guides, reviewer protocol) and infrastructure patterns (Ralph ops, proactive comms). Without clear boundary, teams pollute Squad docs with operational content or miss valuable patterns that should be generalized. - -**Impact:** Enables community content to accelerate Squad adoption without polluting core docs. Flight's boundary analysis becomes reusable decision framework. Prevents scope creep as adoption grows. - ---- - -### PR #331 Quality Gate — Test Assertion Sync -**By:** FIDO (Quality Owner) -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** 🟢 CLEARED (test fix applied, commit 6599db6) - -**What was blocked:** Merge blocked on stale test assertions in `test/docs-build.test.ts`. - -**Critical violations resolved:** -1. `EXPECTED_SCENARIOS` array stale (7 vs 25 disk files) — ✅ Updated to 25 entries -2. `EXPECTED_FEATURES` constant undefined (32 feature files) — ✅ Created array with 32 entries -3. Test assertion incomplete — ✅ Updated to validate features section - -**Why this matters:** Stale assertions that don't reflect filesystem state cause silent test skips. Regression: If someone deletes a scenario file, the test won't catch it. CI passing doesn't guarantee test coverage — only that the test didn't crash. - -**Lessons:** -- Test arrays must be refreshed when filesystem content changes -- Incomplete commits break the test-reality sync contract -- FIDO's charter: When adding test count assertions, must keep in sync with disk state - -**Outcome:** Test suite: 6/6 passing. Assertions synced to filesystem. No regression risk from stale assertions. - ---- - -### Communication Patterns and PR Trust Models -**By:** PAO -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** Documented in features/reviewer-protocol.md (trust levels section) and scenarios/proactive-communication.md (infrastructure pattern) - -**Decision:** Document emerging patterns in real Squad usage: proactive communication loops and PR review trust spectrum. - -**Components:** - -1. **Proactive communication patterns** — Outbound notifications (Teams webhooks), inbound scanning (Teams/email for work items), two-way feedback loop connecting external sources to Squad workflow - -2. **PR trust levels spectrum:** - - **Full review** (default for team repos) — All PRs require human review - - **Selective review** (personal projects with patterns) — Domain-expert or routine PRs can auto-merge - - **Self-managing** (solo personal repos only) — PRs auto-merge; Ralph's work monitoring provides retroactive visibility - -**Why:** Ralph 24/7 autonomous deployment creates an awareness gap — how does the human stay informed? Outbound notifications solve visibility. Inbound scanning solves "work lives in multiple places." Trust levels let users tune oversight to their context (full review for team repos, selective for personal projects, self-managing for solo work only). - -**Important caveat:** Self-managing ≠ unmonitored; Ralph's work monitoring and notifications provide retroactive visibility. - -**Anti-spam expectations:** Don't spam yourself outbound (notification fatigue), don't spam GitHub inbound (volume controls). - ---- - -### Remote Squad Access — Phased Rollout (Proposed) -**By:** Flight -**Date:** 2026-03-10 -**Status:** Proposed — awaits proposal document in `docs/proposals/remote-squad-access.md` - -**Context:** Squad currently requires a local clone to answer questions. Users want remote access from mobile, browser, or different machine without checking out repo. - -**Phases:** - -**Phase 1: GitHub Discussions Bot (Ship First)** -- Surface: GitHub Discussions -- Trigger: `/squad` command or `@squad` mention -- Context: GitHub Actions workflow checks out repo → full `.squad/` state -- Response: Bot replies to thread -- Feasibility: 1 day -- Why first: Easy to build, zero hosting, respects repo privacy, async Q&A, immediately useful - -**Phase 2: GitHub Copilot Extension (High Value)** -- Surface: GitHub Copilot chat (VS Code, CLI, web, mobile) -- Trigger: `/squad ask {question}` in any Copilot client -- Context: Extension fetches `.squad/` files via GitHub API (no clone) -- Response: Answer inline in Copilot -- Feasibility: 1 week -- Why second: Works everywhere Copilot exists, instant response, natural UX - -**Phase 3: Slack/Teams Bot (Enterprise Value)** -- Surface: Slack or Teams channel -- Trigger: `@squad` mention in channel -- Context: Webhook fetches `.squad/` via GitHub API -- Response: Bot replies in thread -- Feasibility: 2 weeks -- Why third: Enterprise teams live in chat; high value for companies using Squad - -**Constraint:** Squad's intelligence lives in `.squad/` (roster, routing, decisions, histories). Any remote solution must solve context access. GitHub Actions workflows provide checkout for free. Copilot Extension and chat bots use GitHub API to fetch files. - -**Implementation:** Before Phase 1 execution, write proposal document. New CLI command: `squad answer --context discussions --question "..."`. New workflow: `.github/workflows/squad-answer.yml`. - -**Privacy:** All approaches respect repo visibility or require authentication. Most teams want private by default. - -### Test assertion discipline — mandatory -**By:** FIDO (formerly Hockney), v0.8.24 -**What:** All code agents must update tests when changing APIs. FIDO has PR blocking authority on quality grounds. -**Why:** APIs changed without test updates caused CI failures and blocked external contributors. - -### Docs-test sync — mandatory -**By:** PAO (formerly McManus), v0.8.24 -**What:** New docs pages require corresponding test assertion updates in the same commit. -**Why:** Stale test assertions block CI and frustrate contributors. - -### Contributor recognition — every release -**By:** PAO, v0.8.24 -**What:** Each release includes an update to the Contributors Guide page. -**Why:** No contribution goes unappreciated. - -### API-test sync cross-check -**By:** FIDO + Booster, v0.8.24 -**What:** Booster adds CI check for stale test assertions. FIDO enforces via PR review. -**Why:** Prevents the pattern of APIs changing without test updates. - -### Doc-impact review — every PR -**By:** PAO, v0.8.25 -**What:** Every PR must be evaluated for documentation impact. PAO reviews PRs for missing or outdated docs. -**Why:** Code changes without doc updates lead to stale guides and confused users. - - ---- - -## Release v0.8.24 - -### CLI Packaging Smoke Test: Release Gate Decision -**By:** FIDO, v0.8.24 -**Date:** 2026-03-08 - -The CLI packaging smoke test is APPROVED as the quality gate for npm releases. - -**What:** -- npm pack → creates tarball of both squad-sdk and squad-cli -- npm install → installs in clean temp directory (simulates user install) -- node {cli-entry.js} → invokes 27 commands + 3 aliases through installed package -- Coverage: All 26 primary commands + 3 of 4 aliases (watch, workstreams, remote-control) - -**Why:** Catches broken package.json exports, MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors, ESM resolution failures, command routing regressions — the exact failure modes we've shipped before. - -**Gaps (acceptable):** -- Semantic validation not covered (only routing tested) -- Cross-platform gaps (test runs on ubuntu-latest only) -- Optional dependencies allowed to fail (node-pty) - -## Impact - -- All agents: charter generation now reliably round-trips model preferences. -- Verbal/Keaton: the 4-layer model selection hierarchy documented in squad.agent.md is now supported at the SDK config level. -- Anyone adding new config fields: use the `assertModelPreference()` pattern (accept string-or-object, normalize internally) for fields that need simple and rich config shapes. - -# Decision: Runtime ExperimentalWarning suppression via process.emit hook - -**Date:** 2026-03-07 -**Author:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Context:** PR #233 CI failure — 4 tests failed - -## Problem - -PR #233 (CLI wiring fixes for #226, #229, #201, #202) passed all 74 tests locally but failed 4 tests in CI: - -- `test/cli-p0-regressions.test.ts` — bare semver test (expected 1 line, got 3) -- `test/speed-gates.test.ts` — version outputs one line (expected 1, got 3) -- `test/ux-gates.test.ts` — no overflow beyond 80 chars (ExperimentalWarning line >80) -- `test/ux-gates.test.ts` — version bare semver (expected 1 line, got 3) - -Root cause: `node:sqlite` import triggers Node.js `ExperimentalWarning` that leaks to stderr. The existing `process.env.NODE_NO_WARNINGS = '1'` in cli-entry.ts was ineffective because Node only reads that env var at process startup, not when set at runtime. - -The warning likely didn't appear locally because the local Node.js version may have already suppressed it or the env var was set in the shell. - -## Decision - -Added a `process.emit` override in cli-entry.ts that intercepts `warning` events with `name === 'ExperimentalWarning'` and swallows them. This is placed: -- After `process.env.NODE_NO_WARNINGS = '1'` (which still helps child processes) -- Before the `await import('node:sqlite')` pre-flight check - -This is the standard Node.js pattern for runtime warning suppression when you can't control the process launch flags. - -## Impact - -- **cli-entry.ts**: 12 lines added (comment + override function) -- **Tests**: All 4 previously failing tests now pass; no regressions in structural tests (#624) -- **Behavior**: ExperimentalWarning messages no longer appear in CLI output; other warnings (DeprecationWarning, etc.) are unaffected - -### 2026-03-07T14:22:00Z: User directive - Quality cross-review -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** All team members must double-and-triple check one another's work. Recent PRs have had weird test failures and inconsistencies. KEEN focus on quality - nothing can slip. -**Why:** User request - quality gate enforcement after speed gate, EBUSY, and cross-contamination issues across PRs #244, #245, #246. - - -# Decision: Optional dependencies must use lazy loading (#247) - -**Date:** 2026-03-09 -**Author:** Fenster -**Status:** Active - -## Context - -Issue #247 — two community reports of installation failure caused by top-level imports of `@opentelemetry/api` crashing when the package wasn't properly installed in `npx` temp environments. - -## Decision - -1. **All optional/telemetry dependencies must be loaded lazily** — never at module top-level. Use `createRequire(import.meta.url)` inside a `try/catch` for synchronous lazy loading. - -2. **Centralized wrapper pattern** — when multiple source files import from the same optional package, create a single wrapper module (e.g., `otel-api.ts`) that provides the fallback logic. Consumers import from the wrapper. - -3. **`@opentelemetry/api` is now an optionalDependency** — it was a hard dependency but is functionally optional. The SDK operates with no-op telemetry when absent. - -4. **`vscode-jsonrpc` added as direct dep** — improves hoisting for npx installs. The ESM subpath import issue (`vscode-jsonrpc/node` without `.js`) is upstream in `@github/copilot-sdk`. - -## Implications - -- Any new OTel integration must import from `runtime/otel-api.js`, never directly from `@opentelemetry/api`. -- Test files may continue importing `@opentelemetry/api` directly (it's installed in dev). -- If adding new optional dependencies in the future, follow the same lazy-load + wrapper pattern. - - -# Release Readiness Check — v0.8.21 - -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**Date:** 2026-03-07 -**Status:** 🟡 SHIP WITH CAVEATS - - ---- - -## Executive Summary - -v0.8.21 is technically ready to release.

No surprises. - - - -# Decision: Optionalize OpenTelemetry Dependency - -## Context -Telemetry is valuable but should not be a hard requirement for running the SDK. Users in air-gapped environments or minimal setups experienced crashes when `@opentelemetry/api` was missing or incompatible. - -## Decision -We have wrapped `@opentelemetry/api` in a resilient shim (`packages/squad-sdk/src/runtime/otel-api.ts`) and moved the package to `optionalDependencies`. - -### Mechanics -- **Runtime detection:** The wrapper attempts to load `@opentelemetry/api`. -- **Graceful fallback:** If loading fails, it exports no-op implementations of `trace`, `metrics`, and `diag` that match the API surface used by Squad. -- **Developer experience:** Internal code imports from `./runtime/otel-api.ts` instead of the package directly. - -## Consequences -- **Positive:** SDK is robust against missing telemetry dependencies. Installation size is smaller for users who opt out. -- **Negative:** We must maintain the wrapper's type compatibility with the real API. -- **Risk:** If we use new OTel features, we must update the no-op implementation. - -## Status -Accepted and implemented in v0.8.21. - - -# Decision: v0.8.21 Blog Post Scope — SDK-First + Full Release Wave - -**Date:** 2026-03-11 -**Author:** McManus (DevRel) -**Impact:** External communication, developer discovery, release narrative - -## Problem - -v0.8.21 is a major release with TWO significant storylines: -1. **SDK-First Mode** — TypeScript-first authoring, type safety, `squad build` command -2. **Stability Wave** — 26 issues closed, 16 PRs merged, critical crash fix (#247), 3,724 passing tests - -Risk: If blog only emphasizes SDK-First, users miss critical stability improvements (crash fix, Windows hardening, test reliability). If blog buries SDK-First, flagship feature loses visibility. - -## Decision - -Create TWO complementary blog posts with clear ownership: - -1. **`024-v0821-sdk-first-release.md`** (existing) — SDK-First deep dive - - Target: TypeScript-focused teams, SDK adopters - - Scope: Builders, quick start, Azure Function sample, Phase 2/3 roadmap - - Tone: Educational, patterns-focused - -2. **`025-v0821-comprehensive-release.md`** (new) — Full release wave summary - - Target: General audience, release notes consumers - - Scope: All 7 feature areas (SDK-First + Remote Squad + 5 critical fixes), metrics, community credits - - Tone: Reassuring (crash fixed!), factual (26 issues, 0 logic failures) - -**Cross-linking strategy:** -- Comprehensive post links to SDK-First deep dive: "For detailed SDK patterns, see [v0.8.21: SDK-First Mode post](./024-v0821-sdk-first-release.md)" -- SDK-First post references comprehensive post: "For the full release notes, see [v0.8.21: The Complete Release post](./025-v0821-comprehensive-release.md)" - -**CHANGELOG updated once** at `[0.8.21]` section with full scope (all 7 areas) — serves as single source of truth for condensed release info. - -## Rationale - -- **SDK value**: Highlights TypeScript-first workflow, type safety, Azure serverless patterns -- **Stability value**: Installation crash fix alone justifies a major release (user pain elimination) -- **Audience segmentation**: Developers interested in SDK config patterns → read post #024; DevOps/team leads reading release notes → read post #025 -- **SEO/discovery**: Two articles = more surface area for search + internal linking -- **Archive preservation**: Both posts preserved in `docs/blog/` for historical record - -## Alternative Rejected - -**Single mega-post:** Would be 25+ KB, overwhelming, diffuses message (SDK patterns + crash fix + CI stability = scattered narrative). Two posts with clear focus are easier to scan and share. - -## Enforcement - -- CHANGELOG.md single `[0.8.21]` section (source of truth) -- Blog post #025 designated "comprehensive" (headline for external comms) -- Blog post #024 designated "technical deep dive" (for SDK adopters) -- Release announcement on GitHub uses post #025 as primary link - - ---- - -**Decided by:** McManus (DevRel) on behalf of tone ceiling + messaging coherence -**Reviewed by:** Internal tone ceiling check (substantiated claims, no hype, clear value messaging) - - -### 2026-03-07 07:51 UTC: SDK-First init/migrate deferred to v0.8.22 -**By:** Keaton (Coordinator), Brady absent - autonomous decision -**What:** SDK-First mode gaps (init --sdk flag, standalone migrate command, comprehensive docs) deferred to v0.8.22. -**Why:** v0.8.21 has all P0 blockers resolved. Adding features now risks regression. Filed #249, #250, #251. -**Issues filed:** -- #249: squad init --sdk flag for SDK-First mode opt-in -- #250: standalone squad migrate command (subsumes #231) -- #251: comprehensive SDK-First mode documentation - - -### 2026-03-07T08-14-43Z: User directive -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** Issues #249, #250, and #251 (SDK-First init --sdk flag, standalone migrate command, comprehensive SDK-First docs) are committed to v0.8.22 - not backlog, not optional. -**Why:** User request - captured for team memory - - -### 2026-03-07T16-19-00Z: Pre-release triage — v0.8.21 release ready pending #248 fix -**By:** Keaton (Lead) -**What:** Analyzed all 23 open issues. Result: v0.8.21 releases cleanly pending fix for #248 (triage team dispatch). v0.8.22 roadmap is well-scoped (9 issues, 3 parallel streams). Close #194 (completed) and #231 (duplicate). -**Why:** Final release gate. Coordinator override: #248 deferred to v0.8.22 (standalone CLI feature, not core to interactive experience). Keeps release unblocked. -**Details:** 2 closeable, 1 P0 override, 9 for v0.8.22, 5 for v0.8.23+, 1 for v0.9+, 4 backlog. See .squad/orchestration-log/2026-03-07T16-19-00Z-keaton.md for full triage table. - -### 2026-03-07T16-19-00Z: PR hold decision — #189 (workstreams) and #191 (ADO) rebase to dev for v0.8.22 -**By:** Hockney (Tester) -**What:** Both PRs are held for v0.8.22 and must rebase from main to dev. Neither ships for v0.8.21. -**Why:** PR #189: merge conflicts, no CI, process.exit() violation, missing CLI tests, 6 unresolved review threads. PR #191: merge conflicts, no CI, untested security fixes, incomplete Planner adapter. Both have solid architecture but insufficient readiness for v0.8.21. -**Details:** See .squad/orchestration-log/2026-03-07T16-19-00Z-hockney.md for detailed code assessment. - -### 2026-03-07T16-19-00Z: Docs ready for v0.8.21 — no release blockers -**By:** McManus (DevRel) -**What:** v0.8.21 documentation is ship-ready. SDK-First mode guide (705 lines), What's New blog, CHANGELOG, and contributors section all complete. No blocking gaps. -**Why:** Release readiness gate. Docs are complete for Phase 1. Minor gaps are non-blocking and addressed in v0.8.22 roadmap. -**Details:** 2 docs issues queued for v0.8.22 (#251 restructure, #210 contributors workflow). See .squad/orchestration-log/2026-03-07T16-19-00Z-mcmanus.md for full triage. - -### 2026-03-07T16:20: User directive — Shift from Actions to CLI -**By:** Brady (via Copilot) -**What:** "I'm seriously concerned about our continued abuse of actions and think the more we can stop relying on actions to do things and start relying on the cli to do things, it puts more emphasis and control in the user's hand and less automation with actions. I think we're maybe going to surprise customers with some of the usage in actions and I would really hate for that to be a deterrent from using squad." -**Why:** User directive — strategic direction for the product.

If the work lives in CLI commands instead of Actions, Squad can run anywhere — Codespaces, devcontainers, local terminals, persistent ACA containers. Actions lock the control loop to GitHub's event system. CLI-first means the user (or their infrastructure) owns the execution loop, not GitHub Actions. - - -# CLI Feasibility Assessment — GitHub Actions → CLI Commands -**Author:** Fenster (Core Dev) -**Date:** 2026-03-07 -**Context:** Brady's request to migrate squad-specific workflows to CLI commands - - ---- - -## Executive Summary - -**Quick wins:** Label sync + label enforce can ship in v0.8.22 (reuses existing parsers, zero new deps). -**Medium effort:** Triage command is 70% done (CLI watch already exists), needs GitHub comment posting. -**Heavy lift:** Issue assign + heartbeat need copilot-swe-agent[bot] API (PAT + agent_assignment field) — no `gh` CLI equivalent exists. Watch mode already implements heartbeat's core logic locally. - -**Key insight:** We already have `squad watch` — it's the local equivalent of `squad-heartbeat.yml`. The workflow runs in GitHub Actions with PAT; watch runs locally with `gh` CLI. They share the same triage logic (`@bradygaster/squad-sdk/ralph/triage`). - - ---- - -## 1.

Per-Workflow Migration Plan - -### 2.1. sync-squad-labels.yml → `squad labels sync` - -**Current workflow:** 170 lines. Parses `team.md`, syncs `squad`, `squad:{member}`, `go:*`, `release:*`, `type:*`, `priority:*`, `bug`, `feedback` labels. Uses Octokit. - -**Proposed CLI command:** -```bash -squad labels sync [--squad-dir .squad] [--dry-run] -``` - -**Implementation:** -- **Size:** S (2-3 hours) -- **Dependencies:** - - ✅ `gh` CLI (already used in plugin.ts, watch.ts) - - ✅ `parseRoster()` from `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/parsers` (already exists) - - ✅ Thin wrapper — reuse roster parser, call `gh label create/edit` -- **Offline:** ❌ Needs GitHub API access via `gh` -- **Reuse:** Roster parsing (team.md → member list) already exists. Just needs label creation loop with `gh`. -- **Complexity:** Low. No auth complexity (uses `gh auth` flow). No copilot-swe-agent API. - -**Why quick win:** Zero new parsers needed. Label sync is idempotent (create-or-update pattern). Can run manually after `team.md` changes. - - ---- - -### 2.2. squad-triage.yml → `squad triage` (or extend `squad watch`) - -**Current workflow:** 260 lines. On `squad` label, parses `team.md` + `routing.md`, keyword-matches, applies `squad:{member}` label, posts comment. - -**Proposed CLI command:** -```bash -squad triage [--issue ] [--squad-dir .squad] -``` -Or: enhance `squad watch` to post comments (currently it only adds labels). - -**Implementation:** -- **Size:** M (4-6 hours) -- **Dependencies:** - - ✅ `gh` CLI (already used) - - ✅ `triageIssue()` from `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/ralph/triage` (already used in watch.ts) - - ❌ **Missing:** `gh issue comment` wrapper in `gh-cli.ts` (5 lines to add) -- **Offline:** ❌ Needs GitHub API -- **Reuse:** - - **watch.ts already does this** (line 189-209). Just missing comment posting. - - Triage logic, routing rules, module ownership — all implemented. -- **Complexity:** Low. The logic exists; just needs `gh issue comment --body ` wrapper. - -**Why medium effort:** Code exists. Just needs comment posting feature added to `gh-cli.ts` and called from `watch.ts`. - - ---- - -### 2.3. squad-issue-assign.yml → ??? - -**Current workflow:** 160 lines. On `squad:{member}` label, posts assignment comment, calls **copilot-swe-agent[bot] assignment API with PAT** (lines 116-161). - -**Problem:** The workflow uses a special POST endpoint: -```js -POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}/assignees -{ - assignees: ['copilot-swe-agent[bot]'], - agent_assignment: { - target_repo: `${owner}/${repo}`, - base_branch: baseBranch, - custom_instructions: '', - custom_agent: '', - model: '' - } -} -``` -**This endpoint does NOT exist in `gh` CLI.** It requires: -- Personal Access Token (PAT) with `issues:write` scope -- Direct Octokit call (cannot use `gh` as thin wrapper) - -**Migration options:** -1. **Add Octokit dependency** — heavyweight (35+ deps), violates zero-dependency CLI goal -2. **Add raw HTTPS module** — 50-100 lines to make authenticated POST with PAT, parse JSON response -3. **Document manual workflow** — "To auto-assign @copilot, use the GitHub Actions workflow (requires PAT)" - -**Proposed approach:** -- **Do NOT migrate.** Keep as workflow-only feature. -- **Reasoning:** The copilot-swe-agent assignment API is GitHub-specific and requires secrets (PAT). CLI commands should not manage secrets. Workflows already have secure secret storage. -- **Alternative:** Document `squad watch` as the local equivalent (it can label + post comments, but not trigger bot assignment). - -**Implementation:** -- **Size:** XL (8-12 hours if full migration) -- **Dependencies:** - - ❌ PAT management (needs secret storage or prompting) - - ❌ Octokit or raw HTTPS POST wrapper (50-100 lines) - - ❌ Not available in `gh` CLI -- **Offline:** ❌ Never (GitHub-specific API) -- **Complexity:** High.
