Lukas May 0ff65b0b02 feat: Rename application from "Codewalk District" to "Codewalkers"
Update all user-facing strings (HTML title, manifest, header logo,
browser title updater), code comments, and documentation references.
Folder name retained as-is.

# Architecture Overview
Codewalkers is a multi-agent workspace that orchestrates multiple AI coding agents (Claude, Codex, etc.) working in parallel on a shared codebase.
## System Diagram
```
CLI (cw)
└── CoordinationServer
├── HTTP Server (node:http, port 3847)
│ ├── GET /health
│ ├── GET /status
│ └── POST /trpc/* → tRPC Router (68+ procedures)
├── EventBus (typed pub/sub, 30+ event types)
├── MultiProviderAgentManager
│ ├── ProcessManager (detached child processes)
│ ├── WorktreeManager (git worktrees per agent)
│ ├── OutputHandler (JSONL stream parsing)
│ ├── AccountManager (round-robin, exhaustion failover)
│ └── LifecycleController (retry, signal recovery)
├── DispatchManager (task queue, dependency resolution)
├── PhaseDispatchManager (phase queue, DAG ordering)
├── CoordinationManager (merge queue, conflict resolution)
└── PreviewManager (Docker-based preview deployments)
Web UI (apps/web/)
└── React 19 + TanStack Router + tRPC React Query
├── Initiative management (CRUD, projects)
├── Page editor (Tiptap rich text)
├── Pipeline visualization (phase DAG)
├── Execution tab (task dispatch, agent monitoring)
└── Review tab (proposal accept/dismiss)
```
## Architectural Patterns
### Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters)
Every data-access layer follows this pattern:
- **Port** (interface): `apps/server/db/repositories/<entity>-repository.ts`
- **Adapter** (implementation): `apps/server/db/repositories/drizzle/<entity>-repository.ts`
- Re-exported from barrel files so consumers import from `apps/server/db/`
### Event-Driven Communication
All inter-module communication flows through a typed `EventBus`:
- Managers emit domain events (agent:spawned, task:completed, etc.)
- tRPC subscriptions bridge events to the frontend via SSE
- Dispatch/coordination reacts to task/phase lifecycle events
### Data-Driven Provider Configuration
Agent providers (Claude, Codex, etc.) are defined as configuration objects, not code:
- `AgentProviderConfig` specifies command, args, resume style, prompt mode
- `buildSpawnCommand()` / `buildResumeCommand()` are generic and data-driven
## Module Map

| Server & API | `apps/server/server/`, `apps/server/trpc/` | HTTP server, tRPC procedures | [server-api.md](server-api.md) |
| Frontend | `apps/web/` | React UI, components, hooks | [frontend.md](frontend.md) |
| CLI & Config | `apps/server/cli/`, `apps/server/config/` | CLI commands, workspace config | [cli-config.md](cli-config.md) |

## Entity Relationships
```
INITIATIVES (root aggregate)
├── N PHASES (with phase_dependencies DAG)
│ └── N TASKS
├── N TASKS (initiative-level, with task_dependencies DAG)
│ └── N TASKS (parentTaskId self-ref for decomposition)
├── N PAGES (parentPageId self-ref for hierarchy)
├── N INITIATIVE_PROJECTS (junction → PROJECTS M:M)
└── N PROPOSALS
AGENTS (independent aggregate)
├── → TASK (optional)
├── → INITIATIVE (optional)
├── → ACCOUNT (optional)
├── N PROPOSALS
└── N MESSAGES (sender/recipient)
ACCOUNTS → N AGENTS
AGENT_LOG_CHUNKS (no FK, survives agent deletion)
