Previously, branch computation errors and ensureBranch failures were
silently swallowed for all tasks, allowing execution agents to spawn
without proper git isolation. This caused alert-pony to commit directly
to main instead of its task branch.
- manager.ts: Verify each project worktree subdirectory exists after
createProjectWorktrees; throw if any are missing. Convert passive
cwdVerified log to a hard guard.
- dispatch/manager.ts: Make branch computation and ensureBranch errors
fatal for execution tasks (execute, verify, merge, review) while
keeping them non-fatal for planning tasks.
Replace SESSION_STARTUP (full test suite run) and CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT
(progress file refs) with a minimal startup block (pwd, git status,
CLAUDE.md). Add skipPromptExtras option to SpawnAgentOptions to skip
inter-agent communication and preview deployment instructions. Conflict
agents now go straight to the resolution protocol — one post-resolution
test run instead of two.
Implements three primitives needed before errand tRPC procedures can be wired up:
- agentManager.sendUserMessage(agentId, message): resumes an errand agent with a
raw user message, bypassing the conversations table and conversationResumeLocks.
Throws on missing agent, invalid status, or absent sessionId.
- writeErrandManifest(options): writes .cw/input/errand.md (YAML frontmatter),
.cw/input/manifest.json (errandId/agentId/agentName/mode, no files/contextFiles),
and .cw/expected-pwd.txt to an agent workdir.
- buildErrandPrompt(description): minimal prompt for errand agents; exported from
prompts/errand.ts and re-exported from prompts/index.ts.
Also fixes a pre-existing TypeScript error in lifecycle/controller.test.ts (missing
backoffMs property in RetryPolicy mock introduced by a concurrent agent commit).

- getAgentOutput now returns timestamped chunks ({ content, createdAt }[])
instead of a flat string, preserving DB chunk timestamps
- parseAgentOutput accepts TimestampedChunk[] and propagates timestamps
to each ParsedMessage
- AgentOutputViewer displays HH:MM:SS timestamps on text, tool_call,
system, and session_end messages
- Live subscription chunks get client-side Date.now() timestamps
- Fix horizontal scroll: overflow-x-hidden + break-words on content areas
- AgentLogsTab polls getTaskAgent every 5s until an agent is found,
then stops polling for live subscription to take over
- Fix slide-over layout: details tab scrolls independently, logs tab
fills remaining flex space for proper AgentOutputViewer sizing
Pre-merge mergeability check via `git merge-tree --write-tree` (dry-run, no
side effects). When conflicts exist the "Merge & Push" button is disabled and
a ConflictResolutionPanel shows conflict files with options to resolve manually
or spawn a conflict-resolution agent. Agent questions appear inline via
QuestionForm; on completion the mergeability re-checks automatically.
New server-side: MergeabilityResult type, BranchManager.checkMergeability,
conflict-resolution prompt, checkInitiativeMergeability query,
spawnConflictResolutionAgent mutation, getActiveConflictAgent query.
New frontend: useConflictAgent hook, ConflictResolutionPanel component,
mergeability badge + panel integration in InitiativeReview.
Prevents two bugs in the resumeForCommit flow:
1. Agent navigated to main repo instead of worktree due to relative paths
in commit prompt — now uses absolute paths from getDirtyWorktreePaths
2. git add -A staged unrelated files (screenshots, other agents' work) —
now uses git add -u to only stage tracked modified files
Introduces a chat loop where users send instructions to an agent that
applies changes (create/update/delete phases, tasks, pages) and stays
alive for follow-up messages. Includes schema + migration, repository
layer, chat prompt, file-io action field extension, output handler chat
mode, revert support for deletes, tRPC procedures, events, frontend
slide-over UI with inline changeset display and revert, and docs.
Detail agents define task dependencies in YAML frontmatter but they were
silently dropped — never written to the task_dependencies table. This
caused all tasks to dispatch in parallel regardless of intended ordering,
and the frontend showed no dependency information.
- Add fileIdToDbId mapping and second-pass dependency creation in
output-handler.ts (mirrors existing phase dependency pattern)
- Add task_dependency to changeset entry entityType enum
- Add listPhaseTaskDependencies tRPC procedure for batch querying
- Wire blockedBy in PhaseDetailPanel and PhaseWithTasks from real data
- Clarify dependency semantics in detail prompt
When an agent asks a question via `cw ask` targeting an idle agent,
the conversation router now auto-resumes the idle agent's session so
it can answer. Previously, questions to idle agents sat unanswered
forever because target resolution only matched running agents.
Changes:
- Add `resumeForConversation()` to AgentManager interface and implement
on MultiProviderAgentManager (mirrors resumeForCommit pattern)
- Relax createConversation target resolution: prefer running, fall back
to idle (was running-only)
- Trigger auto-resume after conversation creation for idle targets
- Add concurrency lock (conversationResumeLocks Set) to prevent
double-resume race conditions
Planning modes (plan, refine) get a minimal block with just cw ask
syntax. Execution modes get the full protocol: commands table, shell
recipe for listener lifecycle, targeting guidance, when/when-not
decision criteria, good/bad examples, and answering guidelines.
Architect agents (discuss, plan, detail, refine) were producing generic
analysis disconnected from the actual codebase. They had full tool access
in their worktrees but were never instructed to explore the code.
- Add CODEBASE_EXPLORATION shared constant: read project docs, explore
structure, check existing patterns, use subagents for parallel exploration
- Inject into all 4 architect prompts after INPUT_FILES
- Strengthen discuss prompt: analysis method references codebase, examples
cite specific paths, definition_of_done requires codebase references
- Fix spawnArchitectDiscuss to pass full context (pages/phases/tasks) via
gatherInitiativeContext() — was only passing bare initiative metadata
- Update docs/agent.md with new tag ordering and shared block table
Move src/ → apps/server/ and packages/web/ → apps/web/ to adopt
standard monorepo conventions (apps/ for runnable apps, packages/
for reusable libraries). Update all config files, shared package
imports, test fixtures, and documentation to reflect new paths.
Key fixes:
- Update workspace config to ["apps/*", "packages/*"]
- Update tsconfig.json rootDir/include for apps/server/
- Add apps/web/** to vitest exclude list
- Update drizzle.config.ts schema path
- Fix ensure-schema.ts migration path detection (3 levels up in dev,
2 levels up in dist)
- Fix tests/integration/cli-server.test.ts import paths
- Update packages/shared imports to apps/server/ paths
- Update all docs/ files with new paths
Replace ## Heading sections with descriptive XML tags (<role>, <task>,
<execution_protocol>, <examples>, etc.) for unambiguous first-order vs
second-order delimiter separation per Anthropic best practices.
- shared.ts: All constants wrapped in their XML tag
- Mode prompts: Consistent tag vocabulary and ordering across all 5 modes
- Examples use <examples> > <example label="good/bad"> nesting
- workspace.ts: Output wrapped in <workspace> tags
- Delete dead src/agent/prompts.ts (zero imports)
- Update docs/agent.md with XML tag documentation
Remove CODEBASE_VERIFICATION references, document new shared constants
(TEST_INTEGRITY, SESSION_STARTUP, PROGRESS_TRACKING), update mode prompt
descriptions with TDD protocol, Definition of Done checklists, and
mandatory test specifications.
Add CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT shared block to plan and detail mode prompts so
architect agents also benefit from compaction awareness and parallel
execution hints. Update index.ts re-exports and agent docs.
- New onConversationAnswer subscription: listens for conversation:answered
events matching a specific conversation ID, yields the answer text
- cw ask now subscribes via SSE instead of polling getConversation
- Removed --poll-interval and --timeout flags from cw ask
- Updated prompt to reflect SSE-based cw ask (no polling options)
- INTER_AGENT_COMMUNICATION constant → buildInterAgentCommunication(agentId) function
- Manager injects actual agent ID into prompt after DB record creation
- Agent ID hardcoded in cw listen/ask commands — no manifest.json indirection
- cw listen now uses onPendingConversation SSE subscription instead of polling
- CLI trpc-client upgraded with splitLink for subscription support
- All CLI flags (--agent-id, --from, --timeout, --poll-interval) documented in prompt
- conversation:created/answered added to ALL_EVENT_TYPES
Body: height 100vh + overflow hidden instead of min-height 100vh,
so the browser never shows a scrollbar on html/body.
AppLayout: h-screen flex column with shrink-0 header and flex-1
min-h-0 overflow-auto main. Pages like initiatives scroll within
main; agents page uses h-full with internal panel scrollers.
Three bugs fixed in auto-cleanup commit retry flow:
1. resumeForCommit now calls getDirtyWorktreePaths() to include specific
project subdirectory names in the prompt, so the agent knows which
dirs to cd into and commit (instead of running git from the non-repo
parent dir).
2. Removed finally block in tryAutoCleanup that reset the retry counter
after every call, making MAX_COMMIT_RETRIES ineffective. Counter is
now only cleaned up on success, max retries, or error.
3. resumeForCommit returns false early if no worktrees are actually
dirty, preventing unnecessary commit retries for clean agents.
Enables parallel agents to communicate through a CLI-based conversation
mechanism coordinated via tRPC. Agents can ask questions to peers and
receive answers, with target resolution by agent ID, task ID, or phase ID.
DB log chunk insertion is now the sole trigger for agent:output events.
Eliminates triple emission (FileTailer, handleStreamEvent, output buffer)
in favor of: FileTailer.onRawContent → DB insert → EventBus emit.
- createLogChunkCallback emits agent:output after successful DB insert
- spawnInternal now wires onRawContent callback (fixes session 1 gap)
- Remove eventBus from FileTailer (no longer touches EventBus)
- Remove eventBus from ProcessManager constructor (dead parameter)
- Remove agent:output emission from handleStreamEvent text_delta
- Remove outputBuffers map and all buffer helpers from manager/handler
- Remove getOutputBuffer from AgentManager interface and implementations
- getAgentOutput tRPC: DB-only, no file fallback
- onAgentOutput subscription: no initial buffer yield, events only
- AgentOutputViewer: accumulates raw JSONL chunks, parses uniformly
Full rename across the codebase for clarity:
- breakdown (initiative→phases) is now "plan"
- decompose (phase→tasks) is now "detail"
Updates schema enums, TypeScript types, events, prompts, output handler,
tRPC procedures, CLI commands, frontend components, tests, and docs.
Also fixes 0022 migration multi-statement issue (adds statement-breakpoint markers).
Breakdown and decompose agents now receive all existing phases, tasks,
and pages as read-only context so they can plan with awareness of what
already exists instead of operating in a vacuum.
