 Squad supports Azure DevOps and Microsoft Planner in addition to GitHub. When your git remote points to Azure DevOps, Squad automatically detects the platform and adapts its commands. For work-item tracking, Squad also supports a hybrid model where code lives in one platform and tasks live in Microsoft Planner.
 
+> **What "Azure DevOps support" means in Squad 2.0.** Platform **detection** (remote host or `config.platform`) and the CLI monitor loop — `squad triage` and `squad watch` — run on Azure DevOps through `az boards`. The **interactive Issues mode** inside a coordinator session ("show me the backlog", "work on item 42") is GitHub-only for now: the coordinator's Issues section is written for `gh`, and the Azure DevOps commands exist only as reference material in `.squad/templates/issue-lifecycle.md`, which the model has to apply by hand. Hosts do detect ADO from the remote and consult that template, so results are usable but not first-class. The `EXAMPLE-azure-devops` MCP server entry is seeded into Copilot's `.mcp.json` only.
+
 ## Prerequisites
 
 1. **Azure CLI** — Install from [https://aka.ms/install-az-cli](https://aka.ms/install-az-cli)

 # GitLab Issues Mode
 
-> **🧪 Experimental.** GitLab Issues Mode is new. Commands, behavior, and integration details may change. [Feedback welcome.](https://github.com/bradygaster/squad/issues)
+> **🗺️ Planned, not shipped.** Squad 2.0 has no GitLab platform adapter: `PlatformType` is `github | azure-devops | planner`, `squad triage` / `squad watch` have no `glab` path, and neither the canonical coordinator nor the per-host digest contains a GitLab section. What follows describes the intended experience; today it only works if you ask the coordinator to use `glab` ad hoc and it improvises the flow described here. Track progress and vote in [issues](https://github.com/bradygaster/squad/issues).

+title: Host Feature Matrix
+description: Which Squad features work on which host (Copilot, Claude Code, Kiro, OpenCode, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity), what each depends on, and how each cell has been validated.
+order: 16
+---
+
+# Host Feature Matrix
+
+<!-- GENERATED from test-fixtures/spec/suite-v0.2/host-feature-matrix.json by scripts/render-host-feature-matrix.mjs. Edit the JSON, then re-run the script. -->
+
+> 🔗 Related: [Squad 2.0 Architecture](/squad/docs/concepts/squad-2-0-architecture/) · [Using Squad Across Clients](/squad/docs/scenarios/using-squad-across-clients/) · [Client Compatibility](/squad/docs/scenarios/client-compatibility/)
+
+Squad features fall into five dependency classes. Features that depend only on the `squad` CLI (class **a**) behave identically everywhere because the host is not involved. Everything else depends on what the host's coordinator file contains, whether the `squad_state` MCP bridge is reachable, and what the host runtime can do. The machine-readable source is `test-fixtures/spec/suite-v0.2/host-feature-matrix.json` (protocol `squad-protocol-v2.0-rc1`).
+
+## Dependency classes
+
+| Class | Depends on |
+|-------|------------|
+| **a** | squad CLI only (host-agnostic; the host is not involved) |
+| **b** | coordinator-prompt behavior (the section must be present in the host's coordinator file or reachable on demand) |
+| **c** | squad_state / memory.* MCP tools (state-mcp bridge reachable from the host) |
+| **d** | host runtime capability (subagent spawn, background tasks, shell, file ops, sql, per-spawn model, MCP inheritance by subagents) |
+| **e** | platform CLI or MCP availability in the host (gh / glab / az / ADO MCP / GitHub MCP) |
+
+## Legend
+
+Every cell has two independent values. **Capability** says what the host can do; **validation** says how that claim was established. Neither implies the other: a `supported` cell may be only `static-only`, and an `unsupported` cell can be `validated-test` (a test proves the gap).
+
+| Capability | Meaning |
+|------------|---------|
+| ✅ `supported` | The host can do this through the stated mechanism, with no known limitation. |
+| ⚠️ `degraded` | The host does this partially: it works, but with the stated limitation (for example a synchronous fallback, an on-demand path, or a host runtime gap). |
+| ❌ `unsupported` | The host cannot do this today — including every case where the coordinator section the feature relies on is absent from the host's projected digest. Stays unsupported until the section ships. |
+| — `n/a` | Not applicable to this host (a Copilot-only surface or something that runs outside the host). |
+
+| Validation | Meaning |
+|------------|---------|
+| 🧪 `validated-test` | An automated test in this repository asserts the cell (see `evidence`; CLI/SDK tests are host-independent). For `unsupported` digest-gap cells this is the per-host `it.fails` that proves the section is absent. |
+| 🖥️ `validated-live` | A recorded headless run of the real host CLI against a real model passed on the reference machine (Claude Code and OpenCode only, 2026-10-22); the test-level evidence also applies. |
+| 📄 `static-only` | Only the projected/canonical text or the source was inspected; no automated or live evidence for this cell. |
+| ❔ `untested` | Nothing beyond static reading, and no live attempt was made for this host. |
+| ⛔ `blocked` | A live run was attempted for this host and could not complete for an external reason (`blockedReason`); confidence is the same as `untested`. |
+
+| Evidence entry | Meaning |
+|----------------|---------|
+| `validated-test:<file>::<name>` | Automated test (name `*` = the whole file). The title must appear literally in the file. |
+| `validated-manual:lab:<scenario>@<date>` | A recorded live run (see the live run log) for this host and scenario. |
+| `static-only` | Marker: the cell was (also) read statically. |
+
+Each matrix cell shows **capability validation** (for example `✅ 🧪` = supported, covered by an automated test; `❌ 🧪` = unsupported, proven by an expected-failure test; `✅ 📄` = supported, statically inspected only; `✅ ⛔` = supported on paper, the live attempt for this host was blocked).
+
+## Hosts
+
+| Host | CLI | Coordinator file | MCP config | Subagents | Background | Per-spawn model | Subagents inherit MCP |
+|------|-----|------------------|------------|-----------|------------|-----------------|-----------------------|
+| **GitHub Copilot (CLI / app / VS Code)** (`copilot`) | `copilot` | .github/agents/squad.agent.md (canonical) | .mcp.json | yes | yes | yes | yes |
+| **Claude Code** (`claude`) | `claude` | .claude/agents/squad.md (digest) + CLAUDE.md block | .mcp.json | yes | no | no | yes |
+| **Kiro CLI** (`kiro`) | `kiro-cli` | .kiro/agents/squad.json + .kiro/steering/squad.md (manual) | .kiro/settings/mcp.json | yes | no | no | yes |
+| **OpenCode** (`opencode`) | `opencode` | .opencode/agents/squad.md (primary) | opencode.json (mcp.squad_state) | yes | yes | no | yes |
+| **Cursor** (`cursor`) | `cursor-agent` (installed; the live smoke run was blocked by a usage limit (see live run log), so cells without a dedicated test are untested) | .cursor/rules/squad.mdc (alwaysApply: false) + .cursor/agents/squad.md | .cursor/mcp.json | yes | no | no | yes |
+| **OpenAI Codex** (`codex`) | `codex` (not on the reference machine → static-only) | .codex/agents/squad.toml (developer_instructions) + AGENTS.md pointer | .codex/config.toml (mcp_servers.squad_state) | yes | no | no | yes |
+| **Google Antigravity** (`antigravity`) | `agy` | .agents/agents/squad.md + GEMINI.md block | agent frontmatter mcpServers (or `agy mcp add`) | yes | no | no | no |
+
+## Summary

+
+## Expected failures (`it.fails`)
+
+These digest gaps are pinned as expected failures, one test per host and gap: the `[<host>]` test turns red the moment a stack adds the section for that host. Until then the cell is **unsupported** for that host (validated by the failing test), never degraded or supported.
+

Every listed cell is `unsupported` for that host until then. |
+| [azure-devops](#azure-devops) | `test/clients.test.ts::digest gap (expected until the stack adds it): Azure DevOps issue tracking (az boards / ADO)` (it.fails, per host) | `copilot` `claude` `kiro` `opencode` `cursor` `codex` `antigravity` | The projected digest lacks this canonical section on the listed hosts; one it.fails per host (title suffixed `[<host>]`) turns red the moment a stack adds it. Every listed cell is `unsupported` for that host until then. |
+| [gitlab-issues](#gitlab-issues) | `test/clients.test.ts::digest gap (expected until the stack adds it): GitLab issue tracking (glab)` (it.fails, per host) | `copilot` `claude` `kiro` `opencode` `cursor` `codex` `antigravity` | The projected digest lacks this canonical section on the listed hosts; one it.fails per host (title suffixed `[<host>]`) turns red the moment a stack adds it. Every listed cell is `unsupported` for that host until then. |
+| [model-selection](#model-selection) | `test/clients.test.ts::digest gap (expected until the stack adds it): per-agent model / reasoning / context-tier selection` (it.fails, per host) | `copilot` `claude` `kiro` `opencode` `cursor` `codex` `antigravity` | The projected digest lacks this canonical section on the listed hosts; one it.fails per host (title suffixed `[<host>]`) turns red the moment a stack adds it. Every listed cell is `unsupported` for that host until then. |
+| [marketplace-plugins](#marketplace-plugins) | `test/clients.test.ts::digest gap (expected until the stack adds it): plugin marketplace browse on cast` (it.fails, per host) | `copilot` `claude` `kiro` `opencode` `cursor` `codex` `antigravity` | The projected digest lacks this canonical section on the listed hosts; one it.fails per host (title suffixed `[<host>]`) turns red the moment a stack adds it. Every listed cell is `unsupported` for that host until then. |
+
+## Known limitations of this evidence
+
+- Capability and validation are separate axes: a `supported` cell may be only `static-only`, and an `unsupported` digest-gap cell is `validated-test` because an `it.fails` proves the gap. Read both columns.
+- Expected failures are pinned per host and per gap (one `it.fails` per `<gap> [<host>]` pair); a section landing for one host turns exactly that host's test red. Those cells are `unsupported`, never `degraded`.
+- Live evidence exists for Claude Code and OpenCode only (reference machine, 2026-10-22). Kiro, Codex, Antigravity and Cursor have no passing live run: their cells are `validated-test` only through host-independent tests, otherwise `static-only`, `untested` or `blocked`.
+- The opt-in headless coordinator tests (`SQUAD_REAL_MODEL_TESTS=1`) verify the MCP bridge through a tee'd `squad state-mcp` transcript (a successful `tools/call` of `squad_state_read` with `key: "team.md"`), not by matching stdout. No other cell claims bridge-level verification.

 # GitLab Issues Walkthrough
 
-> **🧪 Experimental.** GitLab Issues Mode is new. Commands, behavior, and integration details may change. [Feedback welcome.](https://github.com/bradygaster/squad/issues)
+> **🗺️ Planned, not shipped.** Squad 2.0 has no GitLab platform adapter (see [GitLab Issues Mode](features/gitlab-issues.md)). This walkthrough describes the intended experience; today it only works if you ask the coordinator to use `glab` ad hoc.
 
 A step-by-step tour of Squad's GitLab Issues workflow. This connects your team to a GitLab repository's issue tracker so agents can pick up issues, create branches, open Merge Requests, and handle review feedback.
