Raises real risks, not hypothetical ones.\r\n\r\n## What I Own\r\n\r\n- Hook-based governance (file-write guards, PII filters)\r\n- Security review and compliance\r\n- Privacy and PII audit protocols\r\n- Hook lifecycle and security lifecycle\r\n\r\n## How I Work\r\n\r\n- Hook-based governance over prompt instructions — hooks are code, prompts can be ignored\r\n- PII audit protocols: email addresses never committed to repo files\r\n- File-write guard hooks: prevent agents from writing to unauthorized paths\r\n- Raises real risks, not hypothetical ones — pragmatic security\r\n\r\n## Boundaries\r\n\r\n**I handle:** Security hooks, PII auditing, compliance review, governance design.\r\n\r\n**I don't handle:** Feature implementation, docs, distribution, visual design.\r\n\r\n**When I'm unsure:** I say so and suggest who might know.\r\n\r\n**If I review others' work:** On rejection, I may require a different agent to revise (not the original author) or request a new specialist be spawned. The Coordinator enforces this.\r\n\r\n## Model\r\n\r\n- **Preferred:** auto\r\n- **Rationale:** Security review uses sonnet for thoroughness. Planning uses haiku.\r\n- **Fallback:** Standard chain\r\n\r\n## Collaboration\r\n\r\nBefore 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.\r\n\r\nBefore starting work, read `.squad/decisions.md` for team decisions that affect me.\r\nAfter making a decision others should know, write it to `.squad/decisions/inbox/baer-{brief-slug}.md`.\r\nIf I need another team member's input, say so — the coordinator will bring them in.\r\n\r\n## Voice\r\n\r\nThorough but pragmatic. Doesn't cry wolf. When Baer raises a risk, it's a real one that needs addressing. Believes security is infrastructure, not a checklist. Hook-based governance is the hill to die on.\r\n",

This pragmatic approach avoids native compilation issues on Windows and provides cross-platform compatibility. The harness API is designed to be compatible with node-pty, so we can upgrade later when CI has build tools without breaking tests.\r\n\r\n**Key Components:**\r\n- `test/acceptance/harness.ts` — TerminalHarness class for spawning CLI and capturing output\r\n- `test/acceptance/support/gherkin.ts` — Minimal Gherkin parser (no external deps)\r\n- `test/acceptance/support/runner.ts` — Test runner that maps Gherkin steps to vitest\r\n- `test/acceptance/steps/cli-steps.ts` — Given/When/Then step definitions\r\n- `test/acceptance/features/*.feature` — 5 Gherkin feature files (version, help, status, error-handling, doctor)\r\n- `test/ux-gates.test.ts` — UX quality gates (overflow, error remediation, clean output)\r\n\r\n**Patterns:**\r\n- CLI spawned with `node packages/squad-cli/dist/cli-entry.js [args]`\r\n- Environment variables used to control terminal size (COLUMNS, LINES) and disable interactivity (TERM=dumb, NO_COLOR=1)\r\n- Output accumulated in append-only buffer for waitForText assertions\r\n- ANSI codes stripped using simple regex (no extra dependencies)\r\n- Tests focus on non-interactive commands (--version, --help, status, doctor) since interactive shell requires Copilot SDK unavailable in test environment\r\n\r\n**UX Gates Philosophy:**\r\n- Quality gates document existing behavior and catch regressions\r\n- Pragmatic thresholds (120 char max, not 80) balance ideals with reality\r\n- Informational logging for soft constraints (lines exceeding 80 chars)\r\n- Hard assertions for critical issues (error messages include remediation)\r\n\r\n**Test Results:** All 13 tests passing (7 acceptance scenarios + 6 UX gates)\r\n\r\n- **Stack:** TypeScript (strict, ESM), Node.js >=20, Ink 6 (React for CLI), Vitest\r\n- **Key files:** vitest.config.ts, test/acceptance/ (E2E harness + Gherkin scenarios)\r\n\r\n## Learnings\r\n\r\n### E2E Coverage Expansion (2026-02-23)\r\n\r\n**Scenarios added (14 new, 21 total):**\r\n- init-command.feature: re-init in existing project, exit code\r\n- status-extended.feature: resolution details, no-squad directory isolation\r\n- doctor-extended.feature: diagnostic header, summary pass counts\r\n- help-comprehensive.feature: all core commands listed, flags section\r\n- error-paths.feature: special characters, invalid flags, help suggestion\r\n- exit-codes.feature: success (0) and failure (1) validation\r\n\r\n**Test infrastructure:**\r\n- test/acceptance/harness.ts: TerminalHarness with cwd option\r\n- test/acceptance/support/gherkin.ts: Minimal Gherkin parser\r\n- test/acceptance/support/runner.ts: Step registry + vitest mapping\r\n- test/acceptance/steps/cli-steps.ts: Step definitions\r\n- test/acceptance/features/*.feature: 11 feature files\r\n- test/ux-gates.test.ts: 6 UX quality gate tests\r\n\r\n**Key patterns:**\r\n- Absolute path resolution for cwd-isolated tests\r\n- mkdtempSync for no-squad scenarios\r\n- ANSI stripped, NO_COLOR=1, TERM=dumb for deterministic output\r\n- Negative assertions via 'does not contain' step\r\n\r\n**PR:** #348 (closes #326)\r\n\r\n### E2E Coverage Gap Analysis (2026-07-17)\r\n\r\n**Requested by:** Brady — honest quality assessment across full test suite.\r\n\r\n**Test suite baseline:** 94 test files, 2557 tests total. 13 failing, 5 skipped, 1 todo. 5 test files red.\r\n\r\n#### Failing Tests (as of assessment)\r\n1. `test/acceptance/acceptance.test.ts` — 4 failures. CLI output text drifted from feature file expectations.\r\n2. `test/repl-ux.test.ts` — 4 failures. AgentPanel component behavior changed.\r\n3. `test/shell-integration.test.ts` — 2 failures. Error message text changed.\r\n4. `test/shell.test.ts` — 3 failures. Error message text changed.\r\n5. `test/aspire-integration.test.ts` — 1 failure. Docker port conflict (infra issue).\r\n\r\n#### Assessment by test file\r\n\r\n**Acceptance tests (53 Gherkin scenarios):** Test non-interactive CLI commands only (--version, --help, status, doctor, init, error paths, hostile inputs). Real CLI spawned via child_process. Good for what they cover, but can't test the interactive REPL. 4 tests broken by output text drift — nobody noticed or fixed them.\r\n\r\n**repl-ux.test.ts (80 tests):** Component-level rendering tests via ink-testing-library. Tests ThinkingIndicator, AgentPanel, InputPrompt, MessageStream individually. Good visual regression coverage for isolated components. Not integration tests — components are rendered in isolation, never wired to a real shell.\r\n\r\n**repl-streaming.test.ts (~20 tests):** Tests streaming dispatch pipeline with mock sessions. Validates delta accumulation, sendAndWait vs sendMessage fallback, extractDelta field priority. 100% mocked — no real SDK.\r\n\r\n**cli-shell-comprehensive.test.ts (~100+ tests):** Deep unit coverage of shell modules: coordinator parsing, agent prompt building, input routing, session registry, commands, memory manager, autocomplete. All mocked. createMockSession() and createMockClient() throughout.\r\n\r\n**otel-export.test.ts + otel-integration-e2e.test.ts:** Good pattern using InMemorySpanExporter. Tests span hierarchy, error recording, dual-mode telemetry. No test of real export to a collector.\r\n\r\n**cli-p0-regressions.test.ts (8 tests):** Real CLI spawned for specific P0 bug regressions. Narrow but genuine E2E.\r\n\r\n**ux-gates.test.ts (6 tests):** Real CLI output quality checks. Surface-level string matching.\r\n\r\n**hostile.test.ts (32 scenarios):** Adversarial inputs — corrupt configs, tiny terminals, unicode, rapid-fire, pipe mode. Good creativity but assertions are just \"didn't crash.\"\r\n\r\n#### Top 5 Gaps\r\n\r\n1. **ZERO testing of the interactive REPL** — The core product (user types → coordinator routes → agent responds → output renders) has never been tested end-to-end. Every shell test either renders components in isolation or uses mocks. The acceptance harness explicitly excludes interactive mode.\r\n\r\n2. **Mock-SDK contract gap** — repl-streaming and cli-shell-comprehensive build elaborate mocks with .sendAndWait, .on('message_delta'), .deltaContent. No contract test proves these mocks match the real @github/copilot-sdk. If the SDK changes field names or event behavior, all mock tests pass while the real product breaks.\r\n\r\n3. **No Copilot SDK connection lifecycle testing** — connect(), session creation, auth failure, token expiry, reconnection, rate limiting — zero tests. integration.test.ts mocks the entire CopilotClient. Nothing proves the CLI can actually connect to Copilot.\r\n\r\n4. **Acceptance tests are already broken and nobody noticed** — 4 tests have been failing since CLI output text changed (\"Squad is ready\" → \"Your team is ready\"). This means either CI doesn't run them, or failures are tolerated. The safety net has a hole and nobody's checking.\r\n\r\n5. **No multi-agent coordination integration test** — Coordinator ROUTE/DIRECT/MULTI parsing is unit-tested against synthetic strings. But multi-agent fan-out, agent handoff, conversation context passing, concurrent sessions, session cleanup after errors — no integration coverage.\r\n\r\n#### Additional uncovered areas\r\n- `squad upgrade` has no test\r\n- `squad loop` and `squad triage` (long-running daemons) have no test\r\n- Marketplace install/publish has no E2E flow test\r\n- No performance regression baselines\r\n- No test of `squad init` in a truly fresh repo (only re-init)\r\n- Concurrent process conflict scenarios untested\r\n\r\n#### Verdict\r\n**Are our tests giving us false confidence? Yes.**\r\n\r\nThe test count (2538 passing) looks impressive but masks a structural problem: the most important user journey — interactive multi-agent conversation — has zero end-to-end coverage. The tests heavily validate internal modules via mocks, which is useful for refactoring confidence but doesn't catch integration failures. The acceptance tests that do spawn the real CLI are already broken and apparently not blocking merges. The mock sessions in streaming tests are hand-built assumptions about SDK behavior that could silently diverge from reality.\r\n\r\nWhat a real user would encounter that no test catches:\r\n- \"I ran `squad` and it can't connect to Copilot\" — no connection test\r\n- \"I typed a message and nothing happened\" — no interactive REPL test\r\n- \"The agent response came back garbled/empty\" — mocks assume correct delta format\r\n- \"I upgraded and my .squad config broke\" — no upgrade path test\r\n- \"Multi-agent routing sent my message to the wrong agent\" — no integration routing test\r\n\r\n### E2E Integration Tests — REPL & Multi-Agent (2026-07-17)\r\n\r\n**Requested by:** Brady — build the tests for the biggest gap: interactive REPL has zero E2E coverage.\r\n\r\n**Issues filed:**\r\n- #372: E2E: Integration test for interactive REPL message flow\r\n- #373: E2E: Multi-agent coordination integration test\r\n\r\n**Tests added:** `test/e2e-integration.test.ts` — 15 tests, all passing.\r\n\r\n#### REPL Round-Trip Tests (6)\r\n1. Full pipeline: user input → parseInput → dispatch → mock response → MessageStream rendering\r\n2. @Agent direct message: `@Kovash refactor the parser` → dispatchToAgent with correct agent\r\n3. /help slash command: renders help output, no SDK dispatch triggered\r\n4. /status slash command: shows team info locally\r\n5. Error recovery: dispatch throws → shell stays alive, /help still works\r\n6. No-SDK-connected: shows \"SDK not connected\" message gracefully\r\n\r\n#### Multi-Agent Coordination Tests (6)\r\n1. Multi-agent registration: 3 agents tracked independently, all start idle\r\n2. Concurrent status tracking: working/streaming/idle tracked per-agent, getActive() correct\r\n3. Error cleanup: errored agent hint cleared, other agent hint preserved\r\n4. Session removal: remove one agent, others intact\r\n5. Fan-out dispatch: Promise.all to 3 agents, all responses collected\r\n6. Fan-out error isolation: one agent fails, other completes — Promise.allSettled\r\n\r\n#### Input Parsing Integration Tests (3)\r\n1. parseInput routes @Agent/slash/coordinator correctly with real agent list\r\n2. Case-insensitive @agent matching returns canonical name\r\n3. Unknown @name falls through to coordinator\r\n\r\n**Key pattern:** ink-testing-library stdin requires writing characters one-at-a-time then `\\r` separately, with tick delays between, for React state to settle. Writing `text\\r` in one call doesn't trigger submit because useInput processes them as a single event where key.return fires before setValue.\r\n\r\n**Branch:** `squad/e2e-integration-tests`\r\n**PR:** #379 (closes #372, closes #373)\r\n"

standard (61–99): current layout with truncated hints; wide (≥100): full detail\r\n- App.tsx welcome banner: compact (≤60): header + agent count + \"/help · Ctrl+C exit\"; standard (60–99): adds roster + description; wide (≥100): adds focus line\r\n- InputPrompt: prompt shrinks from \"◆ squad> \" to \"sq> \" at <60; placeholder from \"Type a message or @agent...\" to \"@agent...\"\r\n- commands.ts `/help`: <80 cols → single-column compact list; ≥80 cols → padded 2-column table (existing)\r\n- MessageStream: separator uses `useTerminalWidth()` hook instead of raw `process.stdout.columns`\r\n- 66/70 tests pass (same 4 pre-existing failures: 2 empty-panel, 2 idle→ready text mismatch)\r\n- Pattern: `useTerminalWidth()` is the canonical hook for width-responsive Ink components; `getTerminalWidth()` for non-React code\r\n- PR #360 on branch `squad/336-terminal-adaptivity`\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-26: P2 nice-to-haves from Marquez audit (#340)\r\n- Fixed all 6 P2 items identified in Marquez's UX audit\r\n- Files changed: `commands.ts`, `AgentPanel.tsx`, `App.tsx`, `MessageStream.tsx`, `ThinkingIndicator.tsx`\r\n- Key changes:\r\n  - Removed \"you:\" prefix from user messages — now shows just `❯` chevron (cleaner, less redundant)\r\n  - Consistent separator characters: all separators use `-` (was mixed `─` in MessageStream and `┄` in AgentPanel)\r\n  - Simplified ThinkingIndicator: removed 10-phrase rotation carousel, replaced with static \"Thinking...\" label (1 timer instead of 3)\r\n  - `/agents` command uses text status labels `[WORK]` `[STREAM]` `[ERR]` `[IDLE]` instead of emoji circles `🔵🟢🔴⚪`\r\n  - Status line indentation normalized from 2-space to 1-space indent in AgentPanel\r\n  - Replaced emoji indicators: `📋` → `▸` (activity feed), `📍` → `Focus:` (banner), `🔌` → removed (SDK message)\r\n  - `THINKING_PHRASES` export kept as single-element array `['Thinking']` for backward compat\r\n- 4 pre-existing test failures (2 empty panel, 2 idle→ready text mismatch) — not related\r\n- PR #364 on branch `squad/340-p2-nice-to-haves`\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Product love — first-time user experience polish\r\n- Walked through complete first-time user journey: `squad init` → REPL launch → welcome → first command\r\n- Filed 6 issues (#400, #402, #404, #405, #406, #407), closed #406 (ErrorBoundary doesn't exist on disk)\r\n- Fixed 5 issues in one PR:\r\n  - **`/clear` was broken** (#400): ANSI escape code was added as message content (no-op in Ink). Added `clear?: boolean` to `CommandResult`, `handleClear()` returns `{ clear: true }`, App.tsx resets `messages` state to `[]`.\r\n  - **Natural language routing hidden** (#402): Coordinator auto-routing is the killer feature but was invisible. Updated welcome hints to \"Just type · @Agent to direct\", `/help` explains routing, first-run shows \"Or just type naturally\", input placeholder changed to \"Type anything or @agent...\"\r\n  - **First-run hint breaks on narrow terminals** (#404): Changed from horizontal Box to `flexDirection=\"column\"` with breathing room\r\n  - **Exit emoji inconsistency** (#405): `👋 Squad out.` → `◆ Squad out.` (matches P2 emoji removal)\r\n  - **Roster wraps mid-name** (#407): Replaced single dense string with per-agent `<Text>` elements in `<Box flexWrap=\"wrap\">` for clean word-boundary wrapping\r\n- Files changed: `commands.ts`, `App.tsx`, `InputPrompt.tsx`, `index.ts`, `cli-shell-comprehensive.test.ts`\r\n- Pattern: `CommandResult.clear` flag for shell-level state resets (vs output strings)\r\n- 125/125 tests pass, build clean\r\n- PR #414 on branch `squad/cheritto-product-love`\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-26: Shell launch loading indicator (#427)\r\n- Fixed 2-4 second \"dead air\" when launching shell with `squad` (no args)\r\n- Added immediate `console.error('◆ Loading Squad shell...')` at start of `runShell()` — appears <100ms\r\n- Message clears via `process.stderr.write('\\r\\x1b[K')` after Ink `render()` call\r\n- Pattern: synchronous stderr logging before any async operations = instant user feedback\r\n- ANSI clear sequence: `\\r` (carriage return) + `\\x1b[K` (clear line from cursor to end)\r\n- File: `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/index.ts` lines 108, 436\r\n- PR #435 on branch `fix/issue-427`\r\n### 2026-02-23: Welcome typewriter blocking input (#423, #399)\r\n- Fixed 500-800ms input blocking during shell launch caused by typewriter animation\r\n- Removed `useTypewriter()` and `useFadeIn()` calls from `App.tsx` welcome banner rendering (lines 165-167)\r\n- Welcome banner now displays instantly: `bannerReady = true`, `bannerDim = false`, `titleRevealed = '◆ SQUAD'`\r\n- Removed unused imports: `useTypewriter`, `useFadeIn` from `useAnimation.ts`\r\n- Pattern: instant feedback beats cosmetic delay — matches #427 shell loading indicator fix\r\n- File: `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/App.tsx` lines 16, 164-166\r\n- Build succeeded, 2735/2744 tests pass (3 pre-existing failures unrelated to this change)\r\n- PR #439 on branch `fix/issue-423`\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-27: TUI fixes — exit emoji, first-run hint, welcome banner (#405, #404, #407)\r\n- **#405 Exit message:** Replaced `◆ Squad out.` with ANSI-colored ASCII `-- Squad out.` — respects NO_COLOR, removes non-ASCII from exit path\r\n- **#404 First-run hint:** Added compact mode (≤60 cols) — shorter suggestion text (`help me start` vs `what should we build first?`), removes padding and verbose description\r\n- **#407 Welcome roster:** Removed emoji from agent names in roster, replaced `·` separators with `-`, switched `gap` to `columnGap` for better wrapping\r\n- All separators in banner normalized to ASCII hyphens per P2 conventions\r\n- Files changed: `App.tsx`, `index.ts`\r\n- 151/151 tests pass, build clean\r\n- PR #446 on branch `squad/tui-fixes-405-404-407`\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n📌 Team update (2026-02-24T07:20:00Z): Wave D Batch 1 work filed (#488–#493).

All docs should be brief, prompt-first, action-oriented, and human-toned. This replaces stuffy enterprise-style documentation.\r\n\r\n\r\n- **Owner:** Brady\r\n- **Project:** squad-sdk — the programmable multi-agent runtime for GitHub Copilot (v1 replatform)\r\n- **Stack:** TypeScript (strict mode, ESM-only), Node.js ≥20, @github/copilot-sdk, Vitest, esbuild\r\n- **Created:** 2026-02-21\r\n\r\n## Learnings\r\n\r\n### From Beta (carried forward)\r\n- Strict mode non-negotiable: strict: true, noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true, no @ts-ignore\r\n- Declaration files are public API — treat .d.ts as contracts\r\n- Generics over unions for recurring patterns\r\n- ESM-only: no CJS shims, no dual-package hazards\r\n- Build pipeline: esbuild for bundling, tsc for type checking\r\n- Public API: src/index.ts exports everything — this is the contract surface\r\n\r\n### SDK npm swap (M0 blocker)\r\n- Swapped `@github/copilot-sdk` from `file:../copilot-sdk/nodejs` (v0.1.8) to npm `^0.1.25`\r\n- Kept in `optionalDependencies` to preserve zero-dependency CLI scaffolding path\r\n- Build clean, 1592/1592 tests passed — no code changes needed, only package.json + lockfile\r\n- PR #271, branch `squad/190-sdk-npm-dependency`, closes #190, #193, #194\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-21T21:23Z): SDK dependency can be swapped from file: to npm reference — decided by Kujan\r\nThe `file:../copilot-sdk/nodejs` reference can be upgraded to `\"@github/copilot-sdk\": \"^0.1.25\"` (already published on npm with SLSA attestations). This is a one-line change; build and all 1592 tests verified to pass. This unblocks npm publish and removes CI sibling-directory dependency.\r\n\r\n### M1 Monorepo scaffold (#197, #198, #200)\r\n- Added `\"workspaces\": [\"packages/*\"]` to root package.json\r\n- Created `packages/squad-sdk/package.json` — `@bradygaster/squad-sdk`, ESM-only, exports map with types-first condition, `@github/copilot-sdk` as real dependency (not optional — SDK owns this dep now)\r\n- Created `packages/squad-cli/package.json` — `@bradygaster/squad-cli`, bin entry, workspace dep on SDK\r\n- npm uses version-string workspace references (`\"0.6.0-alpha.0\"`) not `workspace:*` protocol (that's pnpm/Yarn)\r\n- Build clean, 1592/1592 tests still pass — no source files moved, scaffold only\r\n- PR #274, branch `squad/197-monorepo-scaffold`, closes #197, #198, #200\r\n\r\n### CLI entry point split (#187)\r\n- Moved `main()` and all CLI bootstrap code from `src/index.ts` to `src/cli-entry.ts`\r\n- `src/index.ts` is now a pure re-export barrel with zero side effects — safe for library import\r\n- `VERSION` stays exported from `index.ts` (public API); `cli-entry.ts` imports it\r\n- `SquadError` added to barrel exports so library consumers can catch CLI errors\r\n- `cli-entry.ts` imports `VERSION` from `./index.js` — no duplicate constant\r\n- Build clean, 1683/1683 tests pass\r\n- Branch `squad/181-squadui-p0`, closes #187\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T020714Z): CLI entry point split complete\r\nEdie's refactor split src/index.ts into pure barrel (zero side effects) and src/cli-entry.ts (CLI routing + main). SquadUI can now safely import @bradygaster/squad as a library without triggering process.exit() on import. Decision merged to decisions.md. Issue #187 closed. 1683 tests passing. Related: Kujan's process.exit() refactor.\r\n\r\n### Subpath exports (#227)\r\n- Added 7 subpath exports to `packages/squad-sdk/package.json`: `.`, `./parsers`, `./types`, `./config`, `./skills`, `./agents`, `./cli`\r\n- Every export uses types-first condition ordering (`\"types\"` before `\"import\"`) per Node.js resolution algorithm\r\n- All source barrels verified: `src/parsers.ts`, `src/types.ts`, `src/config/index.ts`, `src/skills/index.ts`, `src/agents/index.ts`, `src/cli/index.ts`\r\n- All dist artifacts confirmed after build: `.js` + `.d.ts` for each subpath\r\n- Build clean, 1719/1719 tests pass\r\n- Branch `squad/181-squadui-p2`, closes #227\r\n\r\n### Build system migration (monorepo tsconfig + package.json)\r\n- Converted root `tsconfig.json` to base config with `\"files\": []` and project references to both workspace packages\r\n- SDK `tsconfig.json`: extends root, `composite: true`, `declarationMap: true`, `include: [\"src/**/*.ts\"]` — no JSX\r\n- CLI `tsconfig.json`: extends root, `composite: true`, `jsx: \"react-jsx\"`, `jsxImportSource: \"react\"`, includes `*.tsx`, project reference to SDK\r\n- SDK `package.json`: 18 subpath exports (Keaton's plan), `@github/copilot-sdk` as dependency, `@types/node` + `typescript` as devDeps\r\n- CLI `package.json`: `bin.squad` → `./dist/cli-entry.js`, added `ink`, `react` deps, `@types/react`, `esbuild`, `ink-testing-library` devDeps, `templates/` in files array\r\n- Root `package.json`: stripped to workspace orchestrator — `private: true`, no `main`/`types`/`bin`, no runtime deps, only `typescript` + `vitest` in devDeps, build script delegates to `--workspaces`\r\n- `composite: true` required in both packages for TypeScript project references to work — without it, `tsc --build` cannot resolve cross-package references\r\n- Build clean: both `@bradygaster/squad-sdk` and `@bradygaster/squad-cli` compile with zero errors\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T041800Z): Build system migration complete, all 6 config files fixed, zero TypeScript errors — decided by Edie\r\nEdie fixed root tsconfig (base config + project refs), SDK tsconfig (composite + no JSX), CLI tsconfig (composite + jsx), root package.json (workspace orchestrator), SDK package.json (18 subpath exports), CLI package.json (bin entry + UI deps). Composite builds enable TypeScript project references across packages. All dist artifacts (`.js`, `.d.ts`, `.d.ts.map`) emitted correctly. Build ready for Phase 3 (test import migration when root src/ removal blocks).\r\n\r\n### Fix workspace:* → npm-compatible wildcard\r\n- Previous commit used `workspace:*` for CLI→SDK dependency — this is pnpm/Yarn syntax, not npm\r\n- npm workspaces reject `workspace:` protocol with `EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL`\r\n- Changed to `\"*\"` which achieves the same local resolution under npm workspaces\r\n- Verified: `npm install` succeeds, `npm run build` compiles both packages cleanly\r\n- Also verified: prepublishOnly scripts and dynamic VERSION (via createRequire) from previous commit are working correctly\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T08:50:00Z): CharterCompiler reuses parseCharterMarkdown — decided by Edie\r\nCharterCompiler.compile() delegates to existing parseCharterMarkdown() rather than duplicate parsing logic. Single source of truth. AgentSessionManager accepts optional EventBus injection — when present, spawn() emits session.created; when absent, manager works silently. Improves testability.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T070156Z): npm workspace protocol decision merged, test import migration complete, barrel conventions finalized — decided by Edie, Fenster, Hockney\r\n- **npm workspace protocol (Decision):** Use `\"*\"` version string for CLI→SDK dependency, not pnpm's `workspace:*`. npm workspaces auto-resolve local packages by name regardless of version specifier.\r\n- **Test import migration (Decision):** 56 test files successfully migrated from `../src/` to `@bradygaster/squad-sdk` / `@bradygaster/squad-cli` package paths. 26 SDK subpath exports + 16 CLI subpath exports. All 1727 tests passing. Vitest resolves through compiled `dist/`.\r\n- **Barrel file conventions (Decision):** `src/parsers.ts` and `src/types.ts` created as public API barrels — parsers re-export all functions + types, types exports ONLY types (zero runtime imports). Both follow ESM barrel pattern.\r\n- **All decisions merged to decisions.md.** Status: Production-ready, awaiting Phase 3 SDK session integration for final runtime wiring.\r\n\r\n### CharterCompiler + AgentSessionManager implementation (PRD 4)\r\n- `CharterCompiler.compile()` reads charter.md from disk, delegates markdown parsing to existing `parseCharterMarkdown()` from `charter-compiler.ts` — no duplicate parsing logic\r\n- `CharterCompiler.compileAll()` uses `readdir` with `withFileTypes` to enumerate `.squad/agents/*/charter.md`, skips `scribe` and `_alumni/` dirs\r\n- `AgentSessionManager` accepts optional `EventBus` from `../client/event-bus.js` — emits `session.created` and `session.destroyed` lifecycle events\r\n- `spawn()` uses `crypto.randomUUID()` for session IDs, `resume()` throws on unknown agent, `destroy()` emits event before removing from map\r\n- Key file: `packages/squad-sdk/src/agents/index.ts` — barrel re-exports from submodules remain intact, only class stubs replaced\r\n- EventBus event types: `session.created`, `session.destroyed` (from `SquadEventType` union in `client/event-bus.ts`)\r\n- All 1727 tests pass, build clean\r\n\r\n### OpenTelemetry dependency wiring (#254)\r\n- Added `@opentelemetry/api` as optional peer dep (`^1.9.0`) with `peerDependenciesMeta` marking it optional — and in devDependencies so tsc can resolve types during build\r\n- Added 8 OTel packages as `optionalDependencies`: `sdk-node`, `sdk-trace-node`, `sdk-trace-base`, `sdk-metrics`, `exporter-trace-otlp-http`, `exporter-metrics-otlp-http`, `resources`, `semantic-conventions`\r\n- Critical version alignment: `sdk-node@0.57.x` depends on the `1.30.x` core line (`sdk-trace-base`, `sdk-trace-node`, `sdk-metrics`, `resources`). Pinning these in optionalDependencies prevents npm from hoisting 2.x to the top level and causing type mismatches between duplicate `@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base` versions\r\n- Fortier's `src/runtime/otel.ts` (issue #255) was already in place with full TracerProvider/MeterProvider implementation — no stub needed\r\n- Build clean, 1832/1832 pre-existing tests pass (Fortier's 36 OTel tests fail due to no local OTLP collector, pre-existing condition)\r\n\r\n### Token usage + session pool metrics wiring (#261, #263)\r\n- Wired `recordTokenUsage(event)` into `StreamingPipeline.processEvent()` — fires after `dispatchUsage()` in the `usage` case, merged import with existing otel-metrics imports\r\n- Wired `recordSessionCreated()`, `recordSessionClosed()`, `recordSessionError()` into `SquadClient.createSession()` and `deleteSession()` — success paths get created/closed, inner catch blocks get error\r\n- Barrel export (`src/index.ts` line 30) and package.json subpath export (`./runtime/otel-metrics`) already present — no changes needed\r\n- Build clean, 1886/1886 tests pass\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T093300Z): OTel Phase 2 complete — session traces, latency metrics, tool enhancements, agent metrics, token usage wiring, metrics tests — decided by Fortier, Fenster, Edie, Hockney\r\nAll four agents shipped Phase 2 in parallel: Fortier wired TTFT/duration/throughput metrics. Fenster established tool trace patterns and agent metric wiring conventions. Edie wired token usage and session pool metrics. Hockney created spy-meter test pattern (39 new tests). Total: 1940 tests passing, metrics ready for production telemetry.\r\n\r\n### Constants extraction — single source of truth for models, timeouts, roles\r\n- Created `packages/squad-sdk/src/runtime/constants.ts` with `MODELS`, `TIMEOUTS`, `AGENT_ROLES` (all `as const`)\r\n- Updated 6 consumer files: `model-selector.ts`, `config.ts`, `health.ts`, `init.ts`, `plugin.ts`, `index.ts`\r\n- Discovered drift: config.ts had 3-entry fallback chains vs model-selector's 4-entry chains. Consolidated to the complete 4-entry chains from model-selector (the runtime source of truth)\r\n- Used named exports `{ MODELS, TIMEOUTS, AGENT_ROLES }` in barrel to avoid `AgentRole` name collision with casting module's separate `AgentRole` type\r\n- Spread `[...MODELS.FALLBACK_CHAINS.tier]` pattern converts `readonly` tuples to mutable `string[]` for interface compat — avoids changing public interfaces\r\n- Environment variable overrides (`SQUAD_DEFAULT_MODEL`, `SQUAD_HEALTH_CHECK_MS`, `SQUAD_GIT_CLONE_MS`, `SQUAD_PLUGIN_FETCH_MS`) enable runtime config without code changes\r\n- Build clean, 2138 tests pass (3 failures pre-existing Docker/Aspire infra)\r\n\r\n### squad doctor command (#312)\r\n- Created `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/doctor.ts` — typed DoctorCheck interface with `'pass' | 'fail' | 'warn'` status union\r\n- Mode detection: local (default), remote (config.json teamRoot), hub (squad-hub.json)\r\n- 9 checks: .squad/ dir, config.json validity, team root resolution, team.md ## Members, routing.md, agents/ dir (with count), casting/registry.json, decisions.md, absolute path warning\r\n- Registered via lazy `import()` in cli-entry.ts — same pattern as export/aspire/plugin commands\r\n- Added subpath export `./commands/doctor` in CLI package.json (types-first condition)\r\n- Exit code always 0 — doctor is diagnostic, never a gate\r\n- 8 tests: healthy local, empty dir failures, remote mode detection, hub mode, local mode, absolute path warning, missing ## Members, invalid JSON\r\n- Build clean, all 8 doctor tests pass\r\n\r\n### ensureSquadPathDual() — dual-root write support (#314)\r\n- Added `ensureSquadPathDual(filePath, projectDir, teamDir)` to `packages/squad-sdk/src/resolution.ts` — validates that a write target is inside either root or the system temp directory\r\n- Added `ensureSquadPathResolved(filePath, paths)` convenience wrapper that takes a `ResolvedSquadPaths` object\r\n- Existing `ensureSquadPath()` unchanged — full backward compatibility\r\n- Both new functions exported from `src/index.ts` barrel\r\n- 13 tests in `test/ensure-squad-path-dual.test.ts`: local mode, remote mode (both roots), rejection, traversal attacks, subdirs, exact roots, temp dir, ResolvedSquadPaths wrapper\r\n- Build clean, 13 new tests + 21 existing resolution tests all pass\r\n\r\n### Unsafe cast elimination in adapter layer (#318, #320, #321, #322)\r\n- Replaced `as unknown as SquadSessionMetadata[]` in `listSessions()` with explicit field-mapping — picks `sessionId`, `startTime`, `modifiedTime`, `summary`, `isRemote`, `context` from SDK result\r\n- Applied same field-mapping pattern to `getStatus()`, `getAuthStatus()`, `listModels()` — all now pick only the fields defined in our types instead of passing SDK objects through\r\n- Created `SquadClientEventType`, `SquadClientEvent`, `SquadClientEventHandler` in `adapter/types.ts` — client-level lifecycle events distinct from session-level events\r\n- `SquadClient.on()` now uses generic `<K extends SquadClientEventType>` overload matching the SDK's `SessionLifecycleEventType` — zero `as any` casts\r\n- `SquadClientWithPool.on()` typed with matching overloads, pool event bridge uses typed `Record<string, SquadEventType>` mapping instead of `as any`\r\n- Removed dead `_squadOnMessage` reference in `sendMessage()` — was reading a property never set on any session\r\n- Fixed `(event as any).inputTokens` / `outputTokens` with typed index access via `SquadSessionEvent`'s `[key: string]: unknown` signature\r\n- Added `sendAndWait()`, `abort()`, `getMessages()` as optional methods on `SquadSession` interface and implemented in `CopilotSessionAdapter`\r\n- Verified `resumeSession()` already wraps in `CopilotSessionAdapter` — no fix needed for #320\r\n- Updated test assertions: `listSessions` now checks `.sessionId` not `.id`, `getStatus` checks `.protocolVersion` not `.uptime`, `getAuthStatus` checks `.isAuthenticated`/`.login` not `.authenticated`/`.user`\r\n- 3 new tests for optional adapter methods (`sendAndWait`, `abort`, `getMessages`)\r\n- Build clean, 2219/2219 tests pass, zero `as any` or `as unknown as` remain in adapter layer\r\n"

Updated exports maps: 18 SDK subpaths, 14 CLI subpaths. Rewrote 4 cross-package imports. SDK barrel cleaned (no CLI re-exports). Root src/ preserved. Pattern: SDK subpath exports resolve to dist/{module}/index.js.\r\n\r\n**Test Import Migration (2026-02-21→2026-02-22):**\r\nMigrated 56 test files (173 imports) from ../src/ to @bradygaster/squad-sdk/* and @bradygaster/squad-cli/*. 26 SDK + 16 CLI subpath exports. Added 8 new deep SDK exports (adapter/errors, config/migrations, runtime/event-bus, etc.). Verified barrel re-exports for missing symbols. All 1727 tests passing. Pattern: vitest resolves through compiled dist/, so barrel changes require npm run build.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### 📌 Adapter Layer Audit (2026-02-22) — Fenster\r\n**Requested by:** Brady. Audit for unsafe casts and method mismatches post-#315.\r\n**Findings:** 7 total — 2 P0, 3 P1, 2 P2. Full report: `docs/audits/adapter-unsafe-casts-audit.md`\r\n**Critical:** Event name mismatch (`message_delta` vs SDK `assistant.message_delta`) and event data shape mismatch (`event.delta` vs SDK `event.data.deltaContent`) mean streaming listeners never fire through the adapter. `listSessions()` uses `as unknown as` cast. `SquadClient.on()` casts to `any`.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-23T08:00:00Z): REPL streaming bug fixed via sendAndWait pattern — decided by Kovash\r\nAll shell dispatch calls must use awaitStreamedResponse() to wait for full streamed response before parsing. Pattern includes fallback to turn_end/idle listeners. Critical fix for coordinator prompt parsing. Test coverage: 13 new tests in repl-streaming.test.ts. All 2351 tests passing.\r\n\r\n\r\n**Requested by:** Brady. Understand current build capability, identify gaps for GitHub Pages deployment.\r\n\r\n**Build System Status:**\r\n- ✅ **Custom markdown → HTML converter** (`docs/build.js`): Regex-based, converts headers (h1-h3), code blocks, inline code, bold, italic, links, lists, paragraphs. Inputs from `docs/guide/*.md`, outputs to `docs/dist/`.\r\n- ✅ **Template system ready** (`docs/template.html`): Standard HTML structure with `{{NAV}}` and `{{CONTENT}}` placeholders. Includes header (branding), sidebar (nav), main content area, footer.\r\n- ✅ **Styling complete** (`docs/assets/style.css`): Modern theme, sidebar navigation, responsive design (mobile menu toggle), CSS variables for theming (primary: #0969da, secondary: #1f6feb).\r\n- ✅ **Client-side JS** (`docs/assets/app.js`): Mobile menu toggle, sidebar hide/show, active nav highlighting based on current path.\r\n- ✅ **Content authored** (`docs/guide/`): 14 markdown files covering installation, configuration, SDK integration, tools, marketplace, upstream inheritance, feature migration, architecture, CLI, vscode integration.\r\n- ❌ **No GitHub Actions workflow** in squad-pr repo for Pages deployment.\r\n- ❌ **No npm script** for docs build in `package.json`.\r\n- ❌ **No output directory** — build.js creates `docs/dist/` but no CI/CD artifact strategy.\r\n\r\n**What the Old Repo Does (bradygaster/squad):**\r\n- Uses `markdown-it` + `markdown-it-anchor` npm deps (better markdown processing, auto-anchor IDs for headers).\r\n- GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/squad-docs.yml`):\r\n  - Triggers: manual `workflow_dispatch` or push to `preview` branch with `docs/**` or workflow changes.\r\n  - Runs: `npm install markdown-it markdown-it-anchor` → `node docs/build.js --out _site --base /squad`.\r\n  - Deploys: Artifacts from `_site/` via `upload-pages-artifact@v3` → `deploy-pages@v4`.\r\n  - Permissions: `contents: read`, `pages: write`, `id-token: write`.\r\n  - Concurrency: Pages group with cancel-in-progress.\r\n\r\n**Gap Analysis:**\r\n1. **Markdown library upgrade needed:** Current build.js lacks syntax highlighting, table support, anchor auto-generation. Old repo added `markdown-it` to handle these.\r\n2. **No GitHub Actions workflow:** Need `.github/workflows/pages-deploy.yml` to automate build + artifact upload + GitHub Pages deployment.\r\n3. **No npm script:** Add `\"docs\": \"node docs/build.js --out dist/docs\"` to root `package.json` for CI consistency.\r\n4. **Output path decision:** Old repo uses `_site/`. We should use `dist/docs/` (aligns with monorepo build conventions: dist/ is .gitignored artifact dir).\r\n5. **Base path unclear:** Old repo uses `--base /squad` (matches repo name). New repo URL TBD — may need `--base /squad-pr` or custom base. Affects relative asset paths in HTML.\r\n6. **No Git branch strategy:** Old repo deploys from `preview` branch. New repo should clarify: deploy from `main` on PR merge, or from a `docs-preview` branch for staging?\r\n\r\n**Recommendation for Brady:**\r\n- Upgrade `docs/build.js` to use `markdown-it` (1-line: `npm install markdown-it markdown-it-anchor --save-dev`, 10-line refactor).\r\n- Create `.github/workflows/pages-deploy.yml` (copy old workflow, adapt base path + branch trigger).\r\n- Add `\"docs\": \"node docs/build.js --out dist/docs\"` to `package.json`.\r\n- Configure repo Settings → Pages → Deployment → GitHub Actions as source.\r\n- Test on feature branch before merging to main.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### 📌 Runtime Implementation Assessment (2026-02-22T22:00Z) — Fenster\r\n**Status:** Phase 1-2 complete (SDK/CLI split, monorepo structure). Phase 3 (runtime integration) blocked.\r\n\r\n**Implemented & Working:**\r\n- ✅ **SDK/CLI split:** Both packages at 0.8.0 (SDK)/0.8.1 (CLI). Clean exports maps (18 subpaths SDK, 14 subpaths CLI).\r\n- ✅ **Build pipeline:** tsc compiles both packages to dist/, all dependencies resolved (SDK→Copilot SDK, CLI→SDK+ink+react). Zero errors.\r\n- ✅ **CLI structure:** Entry point (cli-entry.ts) routes 14 commands. Commands implemented: `help`, `version`, `status`, `init`, `upgrade`, `export`, `import`, `copilot`, `plugin`, `scrub-emails`. Commands stubbed: `triage` (watch alias), `loop`, `hire`.\r\n- ✅ **Shell foundation:** readline-based CLI shell with header chrome, session registry, spawn infrastructure. Agent discovery, charter loading, and spawn lifecycle foundation. Type-safe completion.\r\n- ✅ **Core modules:** resolution.ts, config/, build/, skills/, hooks/, tools/, client/ (EventBus structure), marketplace/, adapter/ all present.\r\n- ✅ **Monorepo:** npm workspaces, changesets configured, independent versioning (SDK/CLI can release separately).\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T041800Z): SDK/CLI split executed, versions aligned to 0.8.0, 1719 tests passing — decided by Keaton, Fenster, Edie, Kobayashi, Hockney, Rabin, Coordinator\r\n- **Phase 1 (SDK):** Migrated 15 directories + 4 standalone files from root `src/` into `packages/squad-sdk/src/`. Cleaned SDK barrel (removed CLI re-exports block). Updated exports map from 7 to 18 subpath entries.\r\n- **Phase 2 (CLI):** Migrated `src/cli/` + `src/cli-entry.ts` to `packages/squad-cli/src/`. Copied `templates/` into CLI package. Rewrote 6 cross-package imports to use `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/*` package names.\r\n- **Configuration:** All 6 config files fixed (root tsconfig with project refs, SDK/CLI tconfigs with composite builds, package.json exports maps). Root marked private (prevents accidental npm publish).\r\n- **Versions:** All strings aligned to 0.8.0 — clear break from 0.7.0 stubs. CLI dependency on SDK pinned to `0.8.0`.\r\n- **Testing:** Build clean (0 errors), all 1719 tests passing. Test import migration deferred until root `src/` deletion (lazy migration reduces risk).\r\n- **Distribution:** Both packages published to npm (@bradygaster/squad-sdk@0.8.0, @bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.0). Publish workflows verified ready.\r\n- **Dependency graph verified:** Clean DAG (CLI → SDK → @github/copilot-sdk, no cycles). SDK pure library (zero UI deps). CLI thin consumer (owns ink, react).\r\n- **Next phase:** Phase 3 (root cleanup) — delete root src/, update test imports when blocking.\r\n\r\n\r\n**Incomplete/Stubs (Phase 3 blockers):**\r\n- ⏳ **Ralph monitor** (src/ralph/index.ts): Class structure present. 14 TODO comments (PRD 8). Methods stubbed: start(), handleEvent(), healthCheck(), stop(). EventBus subscription logic not wired.\r\n- ⏳ **Coordinator** (src/coordinator/index.ts): Class structure present. 13 TODO comments (PRD 5). Methods stubbed: initialize(), route(), spawn(), monitor(), destroy(). No SquadClient wiring, no agent manager hookup.\r\n- ⏳ **Agents module** (src/agents/index.ts): Charter compilation imported from separate file (working). SessionManager class present but 14 TODO comments (PRD 4). Methods stubbed: spawn(), resume(), terminate(). No SDK session creation wired.\r\n- ⏳ **Casting system** (src/casting/index.ts): v1 CastingEngine imported (working). Legacy CastingRegistry stubbed — 1 TODO (PRD 11) for registry.json parsing. Cast/recast methods throw \"Not implemented\".\r\n- ⏳ **Shell UI:** No ink-based components wired. readline loop exists but command handling is echo-only (line 78 in shell/index.ts). No agent discovery integration, no streaming response display, no real coordinator handoff.\r\n- ⏳ **Triage/Loop/Hire commands:** Placeholder messages in cli-entry.ts lines 115-148. No implementation.\r\n\r\n**Important TODOs in Code:**\r\n- **Ralph (8):** start() needs EventBus subscription, health checks, persistent state loading/saving (8 items).\r\n- **Coordinator (13):** initialize() needs client connection, charter loading, hook setup, EventBus wiring (13 items).\r\n- **Agents (14):** spawn() needs charter reading, YAML parsing, SDK session creation with history injection (14 items).\r\n- **Shell spawn.ts (1):** \"Wire to CopilotClient session API\" — CopilotClient session creation stubbed with TODO (line ~78 in spawn.ts).\r\n- **Casting (1):** registry.json parsing stub.\r\n\r\n**CLI Commands Status:**\r\n- **Fully working (7):** help, version, status, init, upgrade, export, import, copilot, plugin, scrub-emails\r\n- **Stubbed (3):** triage (watch alias), loop, hire — all print placeholder messages\r\n- **Design note:** Commands are correct per Brady's directives (squad loop, squad triage, squad hire). Command routing works; implementations pending.\r\n\r\n**Technical Debt:**\r\n- **Phase 3 cleanup pending:** root `src/` directory still exists (backward compat). Will be deleted after monorepo migration complete per history.\r\n- **Ink components:** No UI components wired yet. Shell uses readline only. Ink dependency is in CLI package.json but not used.\r\n- **Event-driven flow:** EventBus is defined (event-bus.ts) but no actual event emission wired. Handler error isolation TODO (PRD 1).\r\n\r\n**CLI Entry Point Wiring:**\r\n- `main()` parses command and routes to implementations (all sync/await patterns clean).\r\n- No external commands spawned yet (e.g., `gh api`, file system watch).\r\n- `--global` flag works (resolveGlobalSquadPath routing correct).\r\n\r\n**Build/Test/Lint Status:**\r\n- ✅ **Build:** 0 errors (tsc clean).\r\n- ✅ **Tests:** 1700+ passing (exact count varies by run, all passing).\r\n- ✅ **Lint:** tsc --noEmit clean (strict mode enforced).\r\n\r\n**Next Phase Blocking Items:**\r\n1. Wire EventBus: Actual event emission from sessions + handler execution in coordinator/ralph.\r\n2. CopilotClient session integration: Ralph.start() and spawnAgent() need live session creation/resumption.\r\n3. Coordinator.initialize() and route(): Accept user message, load charters, route to agents.\r\n4. Shell UI: Wire ink components for agent display, streaming responses, session status.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T08:50:00Z): Ink Shell Wiring — ShellApi callback pattern — decided by Fenster\r\nApp component accepts `onReady` prop that fires on mount, delivering ShellApi object with `addMessage`, `setStreamingContent`, `refreshAgents` methods. Host captures API and wires to StreamBridge callbacks. Keeps Ink component decoupled from bridge internals. Streaming content accumulation uses per-agent buffers. Ready for coordinator integration (Phase 3).\r\n5. Triage/Loop/Hire: Implement placeholder commands (low priority, can defer).\r\n\r\n**Assessment for Brady:** Core runtime foundation is solid — SDK/CLI split is complete, command routing works, type safety is enforced. Phase 3 (integrating with CopilotClient, EventBus event emission, Coordinator logic) is the next lift. Ralph and Coordinator are well-structured but need internal wiring. No broken code — just incomplete TODOs. Estimate 2-3 weeks to wire Phase 3 fully.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T070156Z): Test import migration merged to decisions, CLI functions correctly exported from CLI package — decided by Fenster, Edie, Hockney\r\n- **Test import migration decision:** 56 test files migrated from `../src/` to `@bradygaster/squad-sdk` / `@bradygaster/squad-cli`. 26 SDK subpath exports, 16 CLI subpath exports. Barrel re-exports verified for missing symbols. All 1727 tests passing.\r\n- **CLI function placement clarified:** runInit, runExport, runImport, scrubEmails correctly exported from `@bradygaster/squad-cli` (not SDK), reflecting intentional architecture separation.\r\n- **Pattern established:** Vitest resolves through compiled `dist/`, so barrel changes require `npm run build` in the package before tests see them.\r\n- **Decision merged to decisions.md.** Status: Test infrastructure aligned with workspace split, ready for Phase 3 runtime integration.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Ink shell wiring (2026-02-22) — Fenster\r\n- **Replaced readline loop with Ink render** in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/index.ts`. The `runShell()` function now uses `ink.render()` + `waitUntilExit()` instead of `readline.createInterface`.\r\n- **Created `App.tsx`** (`packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/App.tsx`) — main Ink component composing AgentPanel, MessageStream, InputPrompt. Manages messages, agents, streaming state via React hooks.\r\n- **ShellApi pattern:** App exposes an `onReady` callback prop that delivers a `ShellApi` object (`addMessage`, `setStreamingContent`, `refreshAgents`). This lets the host wire StreamBridge callbacks into React state without coupling the component to the bridge directly.\r\n- **StreamBridge wiring:** `runShell()` creates a StreamBridge with callbacks that accumulate content deltas in a local `streamBuffers` Map, then push accumulated content into the Ink component via ShellApi. The bridge is ready for coordinator integration — just call `_bridge.handleEvent(event)`.\r\n- **Router + command handler integration:** App's `handleSubmit` calls `parseInput()` for input classification and `executeCommand()` for slash commands. Direct agent and coordinator messages produce system placeholders until coordinator is wired.\r\n- **Exit handling:** `/quit`, `/exit` (via executeCommand), bare `exit` (via EXIT_WORDS set), and Ctrl+C (via `useInput` + `useApp().exit()` with `exitOnCtrlC: false`). Farewell message \"👋 Squad out.\" printed after `waitUntilExit()`.\r\n- **index.ts uses `React.createElement`** instead of JSX to avoid renaming the file to .tsx. All existing exports preserved. New exports: `App`, `ShellApi`, `AppProps`.\r\n- **No test breakage:** All 60 previously-passing test files still pass (1813 tests). 5 pre-existing failures in agent-session-manager.test.ts are unrelated.\r\n- **Key file paths:** `components/App.tsx`, `components/index.ts`, `shell/index.ts`.\r\n\r\n### 📌 OpenTelemetry tracing instrumentation (2026-02-22) — Fenster (Issues #257, #258)\r\n- **Added `@opentelemetry/api`** as a dependency in `packages/squad-sdk`. Imported `trace` and `SpanStatusCode` only — no SDK packages.\r\n- **Instrumented 4 files:** `agents/index.ts` (AgentSessionManager: spawn/resume/destroy), `agents/lifecycle.ts` (AgentLifecycleManager: spawnAgent/destroyAgent), `coordinator/index.ts` (Coordinator: initialize/route/execute/shutdown), `coordinator/coordinator.ts` (SquadCoordinator: handleMessage).\r\n- **Span naming convention:** `squad.{module}.{method}` — e.g. `squad.agent.spawn`, `squad.coordinator.route`.\r\n- **Error pattern:** catch block sets `SpanStatusCode.ERROR` + `recordException()`, then re-throws. `span.end()` always in `finally`.\r\n- **No-op by default:** Without a registered TracerProvider, all spans are no-ops. Zero overhead unless OTel is configured.\r\n- **Build:** 0 errors in instrumented files (2 pre-existing errors in Fortier's `otel.ts` — unrelated SDK type mismatch).\r\n- **Tests:** All 1828 passing tests unaffected. 23 pre-existing failures in `otel-provider.test.ts` are Fortier's parallel work.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Tool trace enhancements + agent metric wiring (2026-02-22) — Fenster (Issues #260, #262)\r\n- **Issue #260 — Tool traces enhanced** in `tools/index.ts`:\r\n  - Added `sanitizeArgs()` — strips fields matching `/token|secret|password|key|auth/i`, truncates to 1024 chars. Exported for reuse.\r\n  - `defineTool` now accepts optional `agentName` in config → recorded as `agent.name` span attribute.\r\n  - `squad.tool.result` event now includes `result.length` (textResultForLlm length).\r\n  - `duration_ms` verified present on both result and error events (was already there, confirmed consistent).\r\n  - TODO comment added re: parent span context propagation (deferred until agent.work span lifecycle is complete).\r\n- **Issue #262 — Agent metrics wired** into lifecycle code:\r\n  - `AgentSessionManager` (agents/index.ts): `recordAgentSpawn` in spawn(), `recordAgentDuration`+`recordAgentDestroy` in destroy(), `recordAgentError` in catch blocks.\r\n  - `AgentLifecycleManager` (agents/lifecycle.ts): `recordAgentSpawn` in spawnAgent(), `recordAgentDestroy` in destroyAgent(), `recordAgentError` in catch.\r\n  - Duration computed from `createdAt` timestamp in destroy path.\r\n- **Build:** tsc clean (0 errors). **Tests:** All 1886 tests passing (65 files).\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T093300Z): OTel Phase 2 complete — session traces, latency metrics, tool enhancements, agent metrics, token usage wiring, metrics tests — decided by Fortier, Fenster, Edie, Hockney\r\nAll four agents shipped Phase 2 in parallel: Fortier wired TTFT/duration/throughput metrics. Fenster established tool trace patterns and agent metric wiring conventions. Edie wired token usage and session pool metrics. Hockney created spy-meter test pattern (39 new tests). Total: 1940 tests passing, metrics ready for production telemetry.\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T020714Z): CRLF normalization complete and merged\r\nFenster's src/utils/normalize-eol.ts utility is now applied to 8 parser entry points across 6 files. Pattern established: normalize at parser entry, not at file-read callsite. This ensures cross-platform line ending safety for all parsers (Windows CRLF, Unix LF, old Mac CR). Decision merged to decisions.md. Issue #220, #221 closed. All 1683 tests passing.\r\n\r\n### 📌 SDK/CLI File Migration — Keaton's split plan executed\r\n- **Phase 1 (SDK):** Copied all 15 directories (adapter, agents, build, casting, client, config, coordinator, hooks, marketplace, ralph, runtime, sharing, skills, tools, utils) and 4 standalone files (index.ts, resolution.ts, parsers.ts, types.ts) from root `src/` into `packages/squad-sdk/src/`. Cleaned the SDK barrel (`packages/squad-sdk/src/index.ts`) — removed the CLI re-exports block (lines 25-52 of the original, exporting success/error/warn/fatal/SquadError/detectSquadDir/runWatch/runInit/runExport/runImport/runCopilot etc. from `./cli/index.js`). Updated SDK `package.json` exports map: removed `./cli`, added all subpath exports from Keaton's plan (resolution, runtime/streaming, coordinator, hooks, tools, adapter, client, marketplace, build, sharing, ralph, casting).\r\n- **Phase 2 (CLI):** Copied `src/cli/` directory and `src/cli-entry.ts` into `packages/squad-cli/src/`. Copied `templates/` into `packages/squad-cli/templates/`. Rewrote 4 cross-package imports in CLI source:\r\n  - `cli/upgrade.ts`: `../config/migration.js` → `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/config`\r\n  - `cli/copilot-install.ts`: `../config/init.js` → `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/config`\r\n  - `cli/shell/spawn.ts`: `../../resolution.js` → `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/resolution`\r\n  - `cli/shell/stream-bridge.ts`: `../../runtime/streaming.js` → `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/runtime/streaming`\r\n  - `cli-entry.ts`: `./resolution.js` and `./index.js` → `@bradygaster/squad-sdk`\r\n- **Intra-CLI imports** (within `cli/` directory) left untouched — all relative.\r\n- **Root `src/` preserved** — not deleted, per plan (cleanup after tests pass).\r\n- Pattern: SDK subpath exports match the directory barrel structure — `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/{module}` resolves to `dist/{module}/index.js`. Special cases: `./resolution` → `dist/resolution.js`, `./runtime/streaming` → `dist/runtime/streaming.js`.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Test import migration to workspace packages — completed\r\n- Migrated all 56 test files (173 import replacements) from relative `../src/` paths to workspace package imports.\r\n- SDK imports use 26 subpath exports (18 existing + 8 new): `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/config`, `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/agents`, etc.\r\n- CLI imports use 16 new subpath exports: `@bradygaster/squad-cli/shell/sessions`, `@bradygaster/squad-cli/core/init`, etc.\r\n- Added 8 new SDK subpath exports for deep modules not covered by barrels: `adapter/errors`, `config/migrations`, `runtime/event-bus`, `runtime/benchmarks`, `runtime/i18n`, `runtime/telemetry`, `runtime/offline`, `runtime/cost-tracker`.\r\n- Added missing barrel re-exports: `selectResponseTier`/`getTier` in coordinator/index.ts, `onboardAgent`/`addAgentToConfig` in agents/index.ts.\r\n- Updated consumer-imports test: CLI functions (`runInit`, `runExport`, `runImport`, `scrubEmails`) now imported from `@bradygaster/squad-cli` instead of SDK barrel.\r\n- Rebuilt SDK and CLI packages to update dist. All 1727 tests pass across 57 files.\r\n- Pattern: vitest resolves through compiled `dist/` files, not TypeScript source — barrel changes require a package rebuild to take effect.\r\n- Pattern: when consolidating deep imports to barrel paths, verify the barrel actually re-exports the needed symbols before assuming availability.\r\n\r\n### 📌 PR #300 Code Quality Review — Upstream Inheritance (2026-02-22) — Fenster\r\n- **Reviewed:** resolver.ts (236 lines), upstream.ts CLI (228 lines), types.ts (56 lines), upstream/index.ts barrel, SDK barrel+exports, 2 test files (509 lines total), package-lock.json\r\n- **Verdict:** Approve with required fixes (5 items). Architecture is sound — types in SDK, CLI command in CLI package, barrel exports correct.\r\n- **Critical finding (from Baer, confirmed):** `execSync` string interpolation in upstream.ts is CWE-78 command injection. Must switch to `execFileSync` with array args.\r\n- **Bug found:** upstream.ts imports `error as fatal` from `output.ts` (which just prints and returns void). Existing pattern uses `fatal()` from `errors.ts` (which throws SquadError, return type `never`). This means after \"fatal\" error messages, execution continues to the next `if (action === ...)` block. The explicit `return` statements mask this but the pattern is wrong and fragile.\r\n- **Missing integration:** `upstream` command is not registered in `cli-entry.ts` command router. Users can't actually invoke it.\r\n- **Test import pattern violated:** Tests import from `../packages/squad-sdk/src/upstream/resolver.js` (relative source paths) instead of `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/upstream` (package imports). Violates the test import migration decision.\r\n- **Minor:** Test uses `(org.castingPolicy as any)` — should use typed cast `as Record<string, unknown>` per strict-mode decision.\r\n### 📌 OTel Phase 4: Aspire command + Squad Observer file watcher (2026-02-22) — Fenster (Issues #265, #268)\r\n- **Issue #265 — `squad aspire` command** added at `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/aspire.ts`:\r\n  - Launches the .NET Aspire dashboard for viewing Squad OTel telemetry.\r\n  - Auto-detects Docker vs dotnet Aspire workload; falls back to Docker.\r\n  - Sets `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` env var so OTel providers auto-export.\r\n  - Flags: `--docker` (force Docker), `--port <number>` (custom OTLP port, default 18888).\r\n  - Wired into CLI entry point (`cli-entry.ts`) with help text.\r\n  - Subpath export: `@bradygaster/squad-cli/commands/aspire`.\r\n- **Issue #268 — SquadObserver file watcher** added at `packages/squad-sdk/src/runtime/squad-observer.ts`:\r\n  - Watches `.squad/` directory recursively via `fs.watch()` with debounce (200ms default).\r\n  - Classifies files into categories: agent, casting, config, decision, skill, unknown.\r\n  - Emits OTel spans (`squad.observer.start`, `squad.observer.stop`, `squad.observer.file_change`) with file.path, file.category, change.type attributes.\r\n  - Emits EventBus events (`agent:milestone` type) when an EventBus is provided.\r\n  - Full start/stop lifecycle with error handling and OTel error spans.\r\n  - Subpath export: `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/runtime/squad-observer`.\r\n  - Barrel export in SDK index.ts: `SquadObserver`, `classifyFile`, types.\r\n- **Tests:** 16 new tests (14 observer: classifyFile categories, start/stop, OTel spans, EventBus events, idempotency; 2 aspire: module exports). All 2024 tests passing.\r\n- **Pattern:** `classifyFile()` normalizes Windows backslashes before classification — cross-platform safe.\r\n- **Pattern:** Observer uses `fs.watch` with `{ recursive: true }` — works on Windows/macOS, may need inotify tuning on Linux.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Spawn wiring + error handling cleanup (2026-02-22) — Fenster\r\n- **spawn.ts wired to SquadClient:** `spawnAgent()` now accepts `client: SquadClient` via `SpawnOptions`. When provided, creates a real SDK session with the agent's charter as system prompt, sends the task, streams `message_delta` events, accumulates the response, closes the session, and returns the result in `SpawnResult`. Without a client, returns a backward-compatible stub.\r\n- **Pattern mirrors shell/index.ts `dispatchToAgent()`** but is self-contained — no dependency on Ink components, ShellApi, or StreamBridge. Can be used outside the shell (e.g., from coordinator, CLI commands, or programmatic API).\r\n- **Error handling audit:** Removed unused `error` import from `plugin.ts` (already correctly uses `fatal()` from `errors.ts`). Removed unused `error as errorMsg` import from `upgrade.ts` (same — already uses `fatal()`). `upstream.ts` has the `error as fatal` bug but is owned by Baer.\r\n- **TODO removed:** \"Wire to CopilotClient session API\" in spawn.ts — resolved by this change.\r\n- **TODO deferred:** \"Parent span context propagation\" in `tools/index.ts` — requires agent.work span lifecycle to be complete first. Left in place.\r\n- **Build:** tsc clean (0 errors). **Tests:** 47 shell tests passing.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Mechanical Documentation Updates (2026-02-23) — Fenster (Issues #191, #192, #195)\r\n- **Issue #191 (.ai-team/ → .squad/):** Updated 42+ doc files to reflect `.squad/` as the standard team directory. Removed language about \"legacy fallback\" and \"auto-detection of .ai-team/\". Updated migration guides, feature docs, blog posts, templates, and architecture diagrams to use `.squad/` consistently.\r\n  - Files updated: diagrams.md, quick-reference.md, module-map.md, codebase-comparison.md, 004-m3-feature-parity.md, checklist.md, beta-to-v1.md, feature-migration.md, 006-sdk-replatform.md, respawn-prompt.md, demo-scenarios.md, faq.md, migration-guide-v051-v060.md, 010-v060-replatform.md, operational-runbooks.md, squadui-type-corrections.md, release-notes-v060.md, 015-m2-configuring-squad.md, 011-migration-guide.md, test-scripts/05-beta-parity.md, team-to-brady.md, templates/scribe-charter.md, templates/squad.agent.md.\r\n  - Pattern: Removed references to `.ai-team/` as a fallback/legacy directory. Updated code examples, comments, and prose to assume `.squad/` is the primary and only standard directory.\r\n- **Issue #192 (CLI invocations):** Verified current package names in docs (@bradygaster/squad-cli, @bradygaster/squad-sdk) are already correct. No old `@bradygaster/ai-team` or `squad-cli` invocation patterns found. Confirmed README.md uses correct npm install patterns.\r\n- **Issue #195 (repo URLs):** Updated 2 files:\r\n  - CONTRIBUTING.md: Changed clone URL from `bradygaster/squad` to `bradygaster/squad-pr` (v1 SDK repo).\r\n  - docs/README.md: Clarified repo column as `bradygaster/squad` (beta) vs `bradygaster/squad-pr` (v1 SDK).\r\n\r\n### 📌 REPL sendMessage Bug Fix (2026-02-23) — Fenster\r\n**Reported by:** Brady. REPL in 0.8.2 throws `coordinatorSession.sendMessage is not a function`.\r\n**Root Cause:** CLI package.json had wildcard dependency `\"@bradygaster/squad-sdk\": \"*\"` instead of pinned version. When CLI is installed from npm (not in a workspace), npm may resolve to an older SDK version that lacks the CopilotSessionAdapter wrapping or has incompatible session interfaces.\r\n**Fix:** Changed CLI dependency to `\"@bradygaster/squad-sdk\": \"0.8.2\"` to ensure SDK and CLI versions stay aligned. Both packages are at 0.8.2, and they should be published together as a matched set.\r\n**Verification:** CopilotSessionAdapter in `packages/squad-sdk/src/adapter/client.ts` correctly wraps SDK sessions with `sendMessage()` → `send()` mapping at line 76-78. Both `createSession()` (line 453) and `resumeSession()` (line 345 in compiled JS) wrap sessions. All test suites pass.\r\n**Pattern:** Workspace packages with synchronized versions should use exact version pins, not wildcards, to prevent version drift when published to npm.\r\n  - Pattern: Intentionally preserved references to `bradygaster/squad` (the beta repo) where appropriate — it still exists and is referenced for context/comparison. Only updated URLs that should point to squad-pr (v1 SDK repo).\r\n- **Build:** No build changes needed. **Tests:** All docs-only changes, no test impact. Verified no breaking changes to code or configuration.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Dual-root path resolution (2026-02-23) — Fenster (Issue #311)\r\n- **Added `resolveSquadPaths()`** to `packages/squad-sdk/src/resolution.ts` — dual-root resolver for remote squad mode.\r\n- **New types:** `SquadDirConfig` (schema for `.squad/config.json` — version, teamRoot, projectKey) and `ResolvedSquadPaths` (mode, projectDir, teamDir, config, name, isLegacy). Named `SquadDirConfig` to avoid collision with existing `SquadConfig` in config/schema.ts and runtime/config.ts.\r\n- **Local mode:** No config.json or invalid config → projectDir === teamDir. **Remote mode:** config.json with valid `teamRoot` string → teamDir resolved via `path.resolve(projectRoot, config.teamRoot)` relative to the project root (parent of .squad/), not relative to .squad/ itself.\r\n- **Legacy fallback:** `resolveSquadPaths()` checks for both `.squad/` and `.ai-team/` (in priority order). Sets `isLegacy: true` and `name: '.ai-team'` for legacy repos.\r\n- **Graceful degradation:** Malformed JSON, missing teamRoot, or non-string teamRoot all fall back to local mode with `config: null`.\r\n- **Internal refactor:** Extracted `findSquadDir()` helper (walks up checking both dir names) and `loadDirConfig()` (reads/validates config.json). Original `resolveSquad()` untouched — backward compatible.\r\n- **Exports:** `resolveSquadPaths`, `ResolvedSquadPaths`, `SquadDirConfig` added to SDK barrel (`index.ts`). Available via `@bradygaster/squad-sdk` and `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/resolution`.\r\n- **Tests:** 12 new tests in `test/dual-root-resolver.test.ts` — local mode, remote mode, relative path resolution, malformed JSON fallback, missing teamRoot fallback, legacy .ai-team detection, .squad priority over .ai-team, walk-up behavior, projectKey null handling.\r\n- **Build:** tsc clean (0 errors). All 21 existing resolution tests still passing. **Pattern:** `resolveSquad()` is the simple path finder; `resolveSquadPaths()` is the full dual-root resolver for code that needs to distinguish project-local vs team identity directories.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Remote squad mode CLI — squad link + init --mode remote (2026-02-23) — Fenster (Issue #313)\r\n- **Created `squad link` command** at `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/link.ts`:\r\n  - Accepts a path argument (relative or absolute) to a team repo.\r\n  - Validates target exists, is a directory, and contains `.squad/` or `.ai-team/`.\r\n  - Computes relative path via `path.relative()` — never stores absolute paths.\r\n  - Writes `.squad/config.json` with `{ version: 1, teamRoot: \"<relative>\", projectKey: null }`.\r\n  - Prints `✅ Linked to team root: <path>` on success.\r\n  - Uses `fatal()` from `errors.ts` for all error paths.\r\n- **Created `init --mode remote` support** at `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/init-remote.ts`:\r\n  - `writeRemoteConfig(projectDir, teamRepoPath)` creates `.squad/config.json` before normal init scaffolding runs.\r\n  - Relative path computed from project root, same as `link`.\r\n- **Registered both commands** in `cli-entry.ts`:\r\n  - `squad init --mode remote <path>` writes config then runs normal init.\r\n  - `squad link <path>` is a standalone command for post-init linking.\r\n  - Help text updated for both.\r\n- **Subpath exports added:** `./commands/link`, `./commands/init-remote` in CLI package.json.\r\n- **Tests:** 9 new tests in `test/cli/remote-mode.test.ts` — link creates valid config, fails on missing target, fails on target without .squad/, relative-only paths, .ai-team legacy support, .squad/ auto-creation, round-trip with resolveSquadPaths.\r\n- **Build:** tsc clean (0 errors). All 12 dual-root resolver tests still passing.\r\n\r\n### 📌 CopilotSessionAdapter — P0 Codespaces fix (Issue #315) — Fenster\r\n- **Root cause:** `createSession()` and `resumeSession()` in `adapter/client.ts` used `as unknown as SquadSession` — a compile-time-only cast that silently skipped runtime method mapping. CopilotSession has `send()`, `on()` (returns unsubscribe fn), `destroy()`; SquadSession expects `sendMessage()`, `on()`/`off()`, `close()`. In GitHub Codespaces, calling `coordinatorSession.sendMessage()` threw \"sendMessage is not a function\".\r\n- **Fix:** Created `CopilotSessionAdapter` class in `adapter/client.ts` that wraps raw CopilotSession and implements SquadSession:\r\n  - `sendMessage(opts)` → delegates to `inner.send(opts)` (same shape: prompt, attachments, mode)\r\n  - `on(type, handler)` → calls `inner.on(type, handler)` and stores the unsubscribe function\r\n  - `off(type, handler)` → calls stored unsubscribe function (CopilotSession has no off())\r\n  - `close()` → delegates to `inner.destroy()` and clears tracked unsubscribers\r\n  - `sessionId` → reads `inner.sessionId`\r\n- **Updated `createSession()` and `resumeSession()`** to wrap with `new CopilotSessionAdapter(session)` instead of unsafe cast.\r\n- **Test mocks updated:** 4 test files (`adapter-client.test.ts`, `session-traces.test.ts`, `integration.test.ts`, `session-adapter.test.ts`) — mocks now return CopilotSession-shaped objects (`send`, `on` returning unsubscribe, `destroy`) instead of SquadSession-shaped.\r\n- **New tests:** 9 tests in `test/session-adapter.test.ts` — sessionId access, sendMessage→send delegation, attachments passthrough, on/off lifecycle, close→destroy delegation, unsubscriber cleanup.\r\n- **Build:** tsc clean (0 errors). **Tests:** 157 affected tests passing, 9 new tests.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### 📌 Adapter Event Layer Fix (#316, #317, #319) — Fenster\r\n**Requested by:** Brady. Fix event name mapping and data normalization in CopilotSessionAdapter.\r\n**Investigation:** Inspected @github/copilot-sdk generated types at dist/generated/session-events.d.ts. SDK uses dotted-namespace event types (e.g., `assistant.message_delta`, `assistant.usage`, `session.idle`). Our adapter was passing short names (`message_delta`, `usage`) directly to CopilotSession.on(), which meant handlers silently never fired. SDK event payloads also wrap data in an `event.data` envelope (e.g., `event.data.inputTokens`), while our SquadSessionEvent expects flat access (`event.inputTokens`).\r\n\r\n**Changes:**\r\n- Added `EVENT_MAP` (10 entries) and `REVERSE_EVENT_MAP` to CopilotSessionAdapter — maps Squad short names → SDK dotted names and back\r\n- Rewrote `on()` to map event names and wrap handlers with `normalizeEvent()` — flattens `event.data` onto top-level and maps type back to Squad short name\r\n- Changed `unsubscribers` from `Map<handler, unsubscribe>` to `Map<handler, Map<eventType, unsubscribe>>` — fixes pre-existing bug where same handler on two event types caused one subscription to leak on `off()`\r\n- `off()` now removes only the specified event type for a handler, not all subscriptions\r\n- OTel `sendMessage()` telemetry now works automatically through the adapter: `message_delta` subscription fires `first_token`, `usage` subscription populates `tokens.input`/`tokens.output`\r\n\r\n**Tests:** 16 tests in `test/session-adapter.test.ts` (was 9): event name mapping (3), data normalization (2), off/unsubscribe correctness (3), OTel-relevant handlers (2), existing tests preserved (6). All 16 passing. Build clean (tsc 0 errors).\r\n\r\n**Key SDK event types discovered:** `session.start`, `session.resume`, `session.error`, `session.idle`, `session.usage_info`, `session.shutdown`, `user.message`, `assistant.message`, `assistant.message_delta`, `assistant.usage`, `assistant.reasoning`, `assistant.reasoning_delta`, `assistant.turn_start`, `assistant.turn_end`, `assistant.intent`, `tool.execution_start`, `tool.execution_complete`, `subagent.started`, `subagent.completed`, `hook.start`, `hook.end`, `system.message`.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### $([char]0x1f4cc) Docs Build Upgrade (2026-02-22)\r\n\r\n**docs/build.js rewritten with markdown-it:**\r\nReplaced regex-based markdownToHtml() with markdown-it for proper rendering of code blocks (with language classes), tables, nested lists, blockquotes, images, and links. Added frontmatter parser (--- fenced YAML), title extraction, asset copying (docs/assets/ -> dist/assets/), and updated nav to cover all 14 guide files across 4 sections (Getting Started, Guides, Reference, Migration). Template updated: asset paths fixed from `../assets/` to `assets/` for flat dist/ output, added {{TITLE}} placeholder, GitHub link updated to bradygaster/squad-pr. npm scripts added: `docs:build` and `docs:preview`. All 17 docs-build tests passing.\r\n\n---\n\n### 📌 Docs Build Multi-Directory Restructure (2026-02-23) — Fenster\n**Requested by:** Brady. Update docs/build.js to handle new multi-directory doc structure (guide/, cli/, sdk/, features/, scenarios/).\n\n**Changes to docs/build.js:**\n- Replaced flat guide/*.md discovery with section-based discovery across 5 configured directories (guide, cli, sdk, features, scenarios). Each section skips gracefully if the directory doesn't exist yet.\n- Nav generation now uses <details class=\"nav-section\"> groups per section (Getting Started, CLI, SDK, Features, Scenarios) with dynamic discovery instead of hardcoded file lists.\n- Output mirrors source structure: docs/guide/index.md → docs/dist/guide/index.html. Root dist/index.html is a redirect to guide/index.html.\n- Asset paths computed via \u0007ssetsPrefix() helper — pages in subdirs get ../assets/ prefix. Template's href=\"assets/\" and src=\"assets/\" are rewritten per-page.\n- Search index now spans all sections (62 entries vs previous 14).\n- Added .md → .html link rewriting via \rewriteLinks().\n- Title extraction chain: frontmatter → H1 → filename-derived.\n- All 30 docs-build tests passing. Build produces 62 pages across 5 sections + redirect.\r\n\r\n### Syntax Highlighting Integration (highlight.js)\r\n**Task from:** Brady  \r\n**What:** Added syntax highlighting (colorization) for fenced code blocks in the docs build.\r\n\r\n**Changes:**\r\n- Installed `highlight.js` as devDependency.\r\n- Updated `docs/build.js`: imported hljs, configured markdown-it's `highlight` option to use `hljs.highlight()` for known languages and `hljs.highlightAuto()` as fallback. Copies `github-dark.css` and `github.css` themes into `dist/assets/` during build.\r\n- Updated `docs/template.html`: added `<link>` tags for both light (`hljs-light.css`) and dark (`hljs-dark.css`) highlight.js themes, with `id` attributes for JS toggling.\r\n- Updated `docs/assets/script.js`: added `syncHljsTheme()` function that enables/disables the correct hljs stylesheet based on `[data-theme]` attribute and `prefers-color-scheme` media query, called from `updateThemeBtn()`.\r\n- Build verified: all 42 pages generated, HTML output contains `hljs-keyword`, `hljs-string`, `hljs-built_in` spans inside `<code>` blocks, CSS paths correctly rewritten for subdirectory pages.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### Mermaid Diagram Rendering (client-side)\r\n**Task from:** Brady  \r\n**What:** Added Mermaid diagram rendering support so `mermaid` fenced code blocks render as interactive SVG diagrams in the HTML docs output.\r\n\r\n**Changes:**\r\n- Updated `docs/build.js`: Added custom markdown-it fence rule that intercepts `mermaid` code blocks and emits `<div class=\"mermaid\">` with raw (unescaped) diagram text instead of `<pre><code>`. The `highlight()` function also short-circuits for mermaid to avoid hljs processing. All other code blocks continue using highlight.js.\r\n- Updated `docs/template.html`: Added Mermaid.js v11 CDN script before `</body>` with `mermaid.initialize()` configured for startOnLoad, theme-aware rendering (dark/light), and responsive flowcharts/sequences.\r\n- Updated `docs/assets/script.js`: Extended `toggleTheme()` to re-initialize and re-render mermaid diagrams when the user switches between dark/light/auto themes.\r\n- Updated `docs/assets/style.css`: Added `.mermaid` CSS rule for centered layout, padding, code-bg background, border, border-radius, and horizontal scroll overflow.\r\n- Build verified: all 42 pages generated. End-to-end test confirmed `<div class=\"mermaid\">` output for mermaid blocks while regular code blocks remain as `<pre><code>` with hljs spans.\r\n\n---\n\n### CLI Entry-Point Fixes (#431, #429) — Fenster (2026-02-24)\r\n**Requested by:** Brady. Fix CLI entry-point issues — empty/whitespace args behavior and version format inconsistency.\r\n**PR:** #447 (branch: squad/cli-fixes-431-429)\r\n**Changes:**\r\n- #431: Confirmed empty/whitespace args defensive guard (shows abbreviated help, not error). Existing behavior was correct per P0 regression tests. No code change needed for this behavior.\r\n- #429: Unified version output to bare semver across all entry points:\r\n  - `cli-entry.ts`: Added `version` as recognized subcommand alongside `--version`/`-v` — all output bare semver.\r\n  - `cli.js` (deprecated bundle): Replaced hardcoded `0.6.0-alpha.0` with dynamic `getPackageVersion()`, changed format from `squad {ver}` to bare semver.\r\n  - Shell: Added `/version` slash command via `commands.ts` — passes `version` prop from `App.tsx` through `CommandContext`.\r\n- Canonical version format decision: bare semver (e.g., `0.8.5.1`), matching existing P0 regression test expectations. Display contexts (help text, shell banner) continue using `squad v{VERSION}` for branding.\r\n- All 148 tests passing (cli-shell-comprehensive, hostile-integration, cli-p0-regressions).\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### Hostile Integration Test Timeout Fix (2026-02-24) — Fenster\r\n**Requested by:** Brady. Fix failing `test/hostile-integration.test.ts` test (renders all 67 hostile strings).\r\n**Branch:** squad/hockney-fix-test-vocab (Hockney's PR in progress)\r\n**Root Cause:** Test was timing out when run with full test suite due to 5s default timeout. Rendering 67 hostile strings (including three 1KB, 10KB, and 100KB strings) through Ink/React legitimately takes 4.3-4.7s, exceeding default timeout under resource contention.\r\n**Fix:** Added explicit 10s timeout to the slow test via third argument to `it()`: `it('renders all 67 hostile strings...', () => {...}, 10000)`. This is the standard Vitest pattern for long-running tests per their error message.\r\n**Verification:** All 2912 tests now pass, including the previously failing hostile integration test. No code changes to MessageStream component or hostile corpus needed — test expectation was correct, just needed more time.\r\n"

Casting overflow edge cases (universe exhaustion, diegetic expansion, thematic promotion) need coverage. 80% coverage floor, 100% on critical paths (casting, spawning, coordinator routing). 1551 baseline tests across 45 files. Vitest is the standard test runner.\r\n\r\n**Phase 1-2 Test Expansion (2026-02-21→2026-02-22):**\r\n- Issue #214: Added 14 resolution & CLI global/status tests (1592→1616). Windows symlink tests skipped.\r\n- Issue #248: Created shell.test.ts with 47 tests (SessionRegistry, spawn infrastructure, Coordinator, ShellLifecycle, StreamBridge). Used real test-fixtures for integration confidence.\r\n- Issue #228: Added 13 CRLF-specific tests validating Windows line ending handling across all 5 parsers.\r\n- Issue #230: Created consumer-imports.test.ts (6 tests) validating barrel exports from library consumer perspective.\r\n- Post-restructure: All 1719 tests passing post-SDK/CLI migration. Test import migration deferred until root src/ deletion (exports maps expansion needed).\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T10:03Z): PR #300 test coverage review completed — BLOCKED, PR #300 does not exist in repository — spec written for when PR materializes (37+ tests needed) — decided by Hockney\r\n- Coverage: Installed @vitest/coverage-v8, configured v8 provider with text/text-summary/html reporters.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### Issue #214: Resolution & CLI global/status tests (2026-02-21)\r\n- Added 14 new tests to resolution.test.ts: deeply nested dirs, nearest .squad/ wins, symlink support\r\n- Created cli-global.test.ts with 10 tests: status routing (repo/personal/none), --global flag for init/upgrade\r\n- Test count grew from ~1592 to 1616 across 51 files — all passing\r\n- Symlink test skipped on Windows (requires elevated privileges) — pattern: `if (process.platform === 'win32') return;`\r\n- CLI routing testable without spawning processes by replicating the conditional logic from src/index.ts main()\r\n- resolveGlobalSquadPath() always creates the directory — tests that check global .squad/ must clean up after themselves\r\n\r\n### Issue #248: Shell module integration tests (2026-02-21)\r\nCreated test/shell.test.ts (47 tests): SessionRegistry (9), spawn infrastructure (6), Coordinator (11), ShellLifecycle (10), StreamBridge (11). Used real test-fixtures for integration confidence. Shell modules well-structured: pure functions (parsing), simple classes (registry), callback-based (bridge). Test count: 1621→1668.\r\n\r\n### Issue #228: CRLF normalization tests (2026-02-21)\r\nCreated test/crlf-normalization.test.ts (13 tests) across 5 parsers using withCRLF() helper and expectNoCR() assertions. All passing. Validates Fenster's normalizeEol() applied correctly.\r\n\r\n### Issue #230: Consumer-perspective import tests (2026-02-22)\r\nCreated test/consumer-imports.test.ts (6 tests): main barrel, parsers barrel, types barrel, side-effect-free imports. Validates barrel split (index.ts/parsers.ts/types.ts) works for consumers.\r\n\r\n### Post-restructure assessment (2026-02-22)\r\n**Build:** Clean (exit 0). **Tests:** 1719 passing across 56 files. **Import state:** Tests import from root ../src/ (old monolith). **Migration deferred:** Premature migration risks breaking tests. Expand exports maps or add vitest alias config when root src/ deleted. Exports map gap + CLI no exports + barrel divergence = high risk now.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Streaming regression test suite & root cause analysis\r\n**Status:** Complete (13 new tests added, 42 total, 41 passing + 1 todo)\r\n- Identified root cause: empty `sendAndWait()` result + zero `message_delta` events = empty accumulated = silent ghost response\r\n- Added `simulateDispatchWithFallback()` test helper (existing helper only exercised delta path)\r\n- Bug report filed: \"Empty coordinator response — the silent swallow\"\r\n- Recommendation for future: minimum-length validation on coordinator responses post-accumulation\r\n- Marked `it.todo()` for SQUAD_DEBUG diagnostic logging coverage (Kovash task)\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n📌 Team update (2026-02-23T09:25Z): Streaming diagnostics infrastructure complete — root cause identified, 13 regression tests added. Kovash added SQUAD_DEBUG logging infrastructure. Saul fixed OTel protocol to gRPC. Version bump to 0.8.5.1. — decided by Scribe\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T041800Z): SDK/CLI split verified, all 1719 tests passing, test import migration deferred — decided by Hockney\r\n- Created test/consumer-imports.test.ts with 6 tests validating package exports from a consumer's perspective\r\n- **Main barrel** (3 tests): key parser functions (parseTeamMarkdown, parseDecisionsMarkdown, parseRoutingMarkdown), CLI functions (runInit, runExport, runImport, scrubEmails), VERSION export as string\r\n- **Parsers barrel** (1 test): parseTeamMarkdown and parseCharterMarkdown importable from src/parsers.js\r\n- **Types barrel** (1 test): Object.keys(types).length === 0 confirms pure type re-exports produce no runtime values\r\n- **Side-effect-free import** (1 test): importing index.ts doesn't mutate process.argv or trigger CLI behavior — test completing without hanging proves clean separation\r\n- Dynamic `await import()` used throughout to keep tests independent and avoid module caching issues\r\n- All 6 tests pass on first run; validates the barrel file split (index.ts / parsers.ts / types.ts) works correctly for consumers\r\n\r\n### Post-restructure verification (2026-02-22)\r\n- **Build:** `npm run build` compiles both `@bradygaster/squad-sdk` and `@bradygaster/squad-cli` cleanly via workspace scripts. Exit code 0.\r\n- **Tests:** All 1719 tests pass across 56 test files. `npm run build && npm test` exits clean.\r\n- **vitest.config.ts:** Works as-is — no path aliases needed while root `src/` still exists.\r\n- **Import state:** All 56 test files still import from root `../src/` (the old monolith barrel). Only `consumer-imports.test.ts` had 3 workspace package references but dynamically imports from `../src/index.js`.\r\n- **Import migration deferred:** Cannot blindly rewrite `../src/X.js` → `@bradygaster/squad-sdk/X` because:\r\n  1. Tests import deep internal modules (e.g., `../src/config/agent-doc.js`, `../src/casting/casting-engine.js`) that aren't exposed via the SDK package's `exports` map — only 18 subpath exports exist.\r\n  2. CLI test files import from `../src/cli/...` which lives in `@bradygaster/squad-cli`, but that package has no subpath exports at all.\r\n  3. Root `src/index.ts` (v0.7.0) still re-exports CLI functions (`runInit`, `runExport`, etc.) which SDK package (v0.8.0) correctly does not export — the `consumer-imports.test.ts` tests CLI exports that don't exist in the SDK barrel.\r\n  4. Migrating requires either expanding the `exports` maps in both packages or adding vitest `resolve.alias` config. Both are non-trivial.\r\n- **Recommendation:** Migration should happen as a dedicated task when root `src/` is actually removed. Attempting it now risks breaking 1719 passing tests for no immediate benefit.\r\n- **Flaky test observed:** One run showed 1 failure / 1718 pass in CLI export-import tests (timing-sensitive fs operations). Not reproducible on immediate re-run — pre-existing flake.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T041800Z): SDK/CLI split verified, all 1719 tests passing, test import migration deferred — decided by Hockney\r\nBuild clean + all 1719 tests pass post-SDK/CLI migration. Fenster's import rewriting (6 cross-package imports) verified correct. Test import migration deferred until root `src/` deletion blocks (lazy approach reduces risk). Tests remain on old `../src/` paths for now — migration requires expanding exports maps or vitest alias config, both non-trivial. Exports map gap + CLI no exports + barrel divergence make premature migration risky. Decision merged to decisions.md (hockney-test-import-migration.md).\r\n\r\n### Test infrastructure: coverage config + package exports test (2026-02-22)\r\n- **Coverage:** Installed `@vitest/coverage-v8@^3.2.0`, configured vitest with `v8` provider and `text`, `text-summary`, `html` reporters. Coverage output goes to `./coverage/` (already in `.gitignore`). Include patterns cover `src/**/*.ts` and `packages/*/src/**/*.ts`.\r\n- **Package exports test:** Created `test/package-exports.test.ts` with 8 tests covering SDK exports map: root (`VERSION`), `/config` (`DEFAULT_CONFIG`), `/resolution` (`resolveSquad`), `/parsers` (`parseTeamMarkdown`), `/types` (type-only, no runtime values), `/agents`, `/skills`, `/tools`.\r\n- Discovered `types` subpath has zero runtime exports (pure `export type` statements) — test only verifies module resolves.\r\n- Config subpath exports `DEFAULT_CONFIG`, `AgentRegistry`, `ModelRegistry`, etc. — not `loadSquadConfig` as initially assumed.\r\n- `npm install` needed `--legacy-peer-deps` flag due to `workspace:*` protocol in squad-cli's package.json (pnpm syntax, not native npm).\r\n- Build passes cleanly. All 8 package-exports tests pass with coverage reporting.\r\n\r\n### Test Health Assessment (2026-02-22T23:02Z)\r\n- **Test Results:** All 1727 tests passing across 57 files. Duration: 4.08s (transform 7.23s, setup 0ms, collect 21.44s, tests 16.15s, environment 12ms, prepare 16.17s).\r\n- **No skipped/pending tests:** Zero `.skip()` or `.only()` patterns found. All 57 test files active.\r\n- **Test file coverage:** Distributed across SDK (config, runtime, agents, casting, coordinator, marketplace, sharing, shell, adapter, tools) and CLI (init, upgrade, export-import, cli-global). Strong test-to-source-file ratio.\r\n- **CI Health:** Recent runs show mixed status on feature branches (squad-UI, feat/remote-squad-mode), but main dev branch (run 103) and most completed runs are green. squad-ci.yml triggers on push/PR to main/bradygaster/dev/insider. Two-job matrix (build-node, test-node) with Node 20/22. Rollup \"build\" job requires both to pass for branch protection.\r\n- **Coverage Infrastructure:** Vitest configured for v8 provider with text, text-summary, html reporters. Include patterns: `packages/*/src/**/*.ts`. Coverage dir: `./coverage/` (gitignored).\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T08:50:00Z): Runtime Module Test Patterns — decided by Hockney\r\nTwo EventBus APIs require different mocks: client bus uses on()/emit(), runtime bus uses subscribe()/emit(). Tests must use correct mock based on module. CharterCompiler tests use real test-fixtures (integration-level confidence); parseCharterMarkdown uses inline strings (unit isolation). Coordinator routing priority verified: direct > @mention > team keyword > default. RalphMonitor tests future-proof stubs. 105 new tests written (1727 → 1832, all passing).\r\n- **Test Patterns:** Good structure observed: pure functions (parsers, coordinators), simple classes (SessionRegistry, StreamBridge), callback-based async (shell lifecycle). Windows symlink tests skipped (elevated privileges).\r\n- **Flaky tests:** One pre-existing flake in export-import CLI tests (timing-sensitive fs operations on first run, passes on retry). Not blocking merges.\r\n- **Known Issues:** None blocking. Pre-existing TS error in cli-entry.ts VERSION export (mentioned in history). Test import migration deferred until root `src/` deletion.\r\n\r\n### Proactive runtime module tests (2026-02-22)\r\n- Created 4 new test files (105 tests) for runtime modules being built in parallel by Fenster, Edie, and Fortier.\r\n- **charter-compiler.test.ts** (34 tests): `parseCharterMarkdown` identity/section/edge cases, `compileCharterFull` metadata/overrides, `CharterCompiler` class compile/compileAll with real test-fixtures charters. Discovered CharterCompiler and AgentSessionManager are now fully implemented (not stubs).\r\n- **agent-session-manager.test.ts** (25 tests): spawn (state, sessionId, timestamps, modes, EventBus events), resume (reactivation, timestamp update, error cases), destroy (map removal, event emission, non-existent agent safety), getAgent/getAllAgents state management.\r\n- **coordinator-routing.test.ts** (27 tests): Coordinator.route() covering direct responses (status/help/show/list/who/what/how), @mention routing (fenster/verbal/hockney), \"team\" keyword fan-out, default-to-lead, priority ordering (@mention > team, direct > @mention), initialize/execute/shutdown lifecycle.\r\n- **ralph-monitor.test.ts** (19 tests): RalphMonitor start/stop lifecycle, healthCheck, getStatus, config options, edge cases (healthCheck after stop, multiple start/stop calls).\r\n- Test count grew from 1727 to 1832 across 61 files — all passing.\r\n- Key edge cases found: (1) @mention priority beats \"team\" keyword, (2) direct patterns beat @mentions, (3) AgentSessionManager.destroy() is safe on non-existent agents, (4) CharterCompiler.compileAll() silently skips invalid charters.\r\n- Pattern: EventBus mock for AgentSessionManager uses `on()` method (client EventBus pattern), not `subscribe()` (runtime EventBus pattern) — the two bus implementations have different APIs.\r\n\r\n### OTel observability tests — proactive (2026-02-22)\r\n- Created 4 new test files (54 tests) for OTel observability modules being built by Fortier and Edie.\r\n- **otel-provider.test.ts** (20 tests): `initializeOTel` returns `{tracing, metrics}` booleans; `getTracer()`/`getMeter()` return valid no-op instances when unconfigured; `shutdownOTel()` is safe to call with no initialization; config priority verified (explicit endpoint > `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` env var > disabled). Also covers `initializeTracing()` and `initializeMetrics()` individually.\r\n- **otel-bridge.test.ts** (12 tests): `createOTelTransport()` returns a function conforming to `TelemetryTransport`. All 5 event types (`squad.init`, `squad.agent.spawn`, `squad.error`, `squad.run`, `squad.upgrade`) produce correctly-named spans. `squad.error` sets `SpanStatusCode.ERROR` and emits an `exception` event. Properties map to span attributes. Batch processing verified.\r\n- **otel-agent-traces.test.ts** (10 tests): Proactive — validates that `AgentSessionManager.spawn()` and `destroy()` create OTel spans with agent name and mode attributes. Error spans verified for invalid charters and resume of non-existent agents. Currently pass with `[PROACTIVE]` warnings since OTel instrumentation is not yet wired into AgentSessionManager.\r\n- **otel-coordinator-traces.test.ts** (12 tests): Proactive — validates that `Coordinator.route()` creates `squad.coordinator.route` spans with tier/message/agents attributes. Span hierarchy tested (route → execute). Currently pass with `[PROACTIVE]` warnings since OTel instrumentation is not yet wired into Coordinator.\r\n- Test count grew from 1832 to 1886 across 65 files — all passing.\r\n- Key discovery: `@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base` v2.x uses `BasicTracerProvider` (not `NodeTracerProvider`), requires `spanProcessors` in constructor, and uses `trace.setGlobalTracerProvider()` instead of `provider.register()`.\r\n- `AgentSessionInfo` uses `charter.name` and `state` fields (not `name`/`status` directly).\r\n- OTel SDK deps (`@opentelemetry/api`, `@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base`, `@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics`) installed at root for test resolution.\r\n\r\n### OTel Metrics tests — Issues #261-264 (2026-02-23)\r\n- Created `test/otel-metrics.test.ts` (34 tests): Comprehensive coverage of all four metric categories — token usage (#261), agent performance (#262), session pool (#263), response latency (#264), plus reset/cleanup and no-op safety.\r\n- Created `test/otel-metric-wiring.test.ts` (5 tests): Integration tests verifying StreamingPipeline calls recordTokenUsage on usage events, module resolution of otel-metrics subpath and barrel exports.\r\n- Testing strategy: Mock `getMeter()` from otel provider to return spy-enabled meter with tracked instruments. Each `createCounter`/`createHistogram`/`createUpDownCounter`/`createGauge` call returns a spy with `.add()` and `.record()` mocks, allowing precise verification of metric names, values, and attributes.\r\n- Key findings: (1) StreamingPipeline has no constructor args — just `new StreamingPipeline()`, (2) session attach method is `attachToSession()` not `attachSession()`, (3) `_resetMetrics()` clears all four cached instrument categories independently, (4) all metric functions are safe no-ops when OTel is not configured.\r\n- Test count grew from 1901→1940 across 68 files — all passing.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T093300Z): OTel Phase 2 complete — session traces, latency metrics, tool enhancements, agent metrics, token usage wiring, metrics tests — decided by Fortier, Fenster, Edie, Hockney\r\nAll four agents shipped Phase 2 in parallel: Fortier wired TTFT/duration/throughput metrics. Fenster established tool trace patterns and agent metric wiring conventions. Edie wired token usage and session pool metrics. Hockney created spy-meter test pattern (39 new tests). Total: 1940 tests passing, metrics ready for production telemetry.\r\n\r\n### PR #300 upstream inheritance test review — requested by Brady (2026-02-23)\r\n- **Verdict: PR #300 does not exist.** No PR, no branch, no source files, no test files found in repo or on GitHub remote. The referenced files (`packages/squad-sdk/src/upstream/resolver.ts`, `packages/squad-sdk/src/upstream/types.ts`, `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/upstream.ts`, `test/upstream.test.ts`, `test/upstream-e2e.test.ts`) do not exist anywhere.\r\n- Searched: all branches (25 remote), all PRs (open/closed), issues, local filesystem, glob patterns. Zero matches for \"upstream\" in any context.\r\n- Prepared a test coverage requirements spec for when this PR materializes. Key gaps to enforce: CLI command tests (add/remove/list/sync), circular reference detection, .ai-team/ fallback, malformed JSON, empty upstreams array, transitive inheritance proof in E2E.\r\n- Baseline at time of review: 1940 tests across 68 files, all passing.\r\n### Issue #267: OTel integration tests (2026-02-22)\r\n- Created `test/otel-integration.test.ts` (37 tests) covering 9 integration suites across all OTel modules.\r\n- **Bridge + Provider pipeline** (5 tests): End-to-end span capture, error spans with status/exception events, unknown events, timestamp attributes, multiple transports.\r\n- **Bridge span sequencing** (3 tests): Mixed batch integrity, sequential batches, empty-then-nonempty.\r\n- **Agent spawn telemetry flow** (3 tests): Name/mode/model attributes through bridge, multiple independent agents, missing properties handled.\r\n- **Session lifecycle spans** (4 tests): Run/error event mapping, ERROR status chain, full init→spawn→run→error sequence.\r\n- **Metrics end-to-end** (7 tests): Full agent lifecycle, session lifecycle, latency metrics, token usage, concurrent multi-agent, _resetMetrics.\r\n- **Error scenarios** (6 tests): No-op tracer/meter, bridge with no-op, shutdown safety, events without properties/timestamps.\r\n- **Provider lifecycle** (4 tests): Disabled init, independent tracing/metrics, manual provider, cleanup isolation.\r\n- **EventBus → Bridge translation** (3 tests): All 5 event types, error fallback chain, property type preservation.\r\n- **Cross-module coordination** (2 tests): Bridge + direct spans coexist, concurrent transports safe.\r\n- Key pattern: vi.mock at module scope with spyMeter declared globally; vi.importActual() to bypass mock in error scenario tests.\r\n- Test count: 1969 → 2006+ (37 new integration tests, all passing). Pre-existing squad-observer.test.ts failures unrelated.\r\n\r\n### Issue #267: OTel integration E2E tests + aspire CLI tests (2026-02-23)\r\n- Created `test/otel-integration-e2e.test.ts` (21 tests): Full trace hierarchy, zero-overhead verification, metrics integration, EventBus → OTel bridge.\r\n- Created `test/cli/aspire.test.ts` (16 tests): Docker availability, container command generation, OTLP endpoint configuration, stop/cleanup, module resolution.\r\n- **Trace hierarchy** (5 tests): Request → route → agent → tool span chain with verified parentSpanContext linkage, shared traceId, error isolation, attribute flow, parallel fan-out.\r\n- **Zero-overhead** (5 tests): No-op tracer, no-op metrics, transport with no provider, nested no-op spans, all safe without throwing.\r\n- **Metrics integration** (4 tests): StreamingPipeline usage aggregation, TTFT tracking, unattached session filtering, multi-session independence.\r\n- **EventBus → OTel bridge** (7 tests): TelemetryCollector flush → spans, subscribeAll bridge pattern, tool_call events, ERROR status on session:error, 50-event burst, no-op after disable, detach stops span creation.\r\n- **Aspire CLI** (16 tests): Docker version check, absent Docker handling, default/custom docker run commands (port, OTLP port, container name, image), env var config, OTLP port mapping, stop+rm commands, idempotent lifecycle, [PROACTIVE] module resolution.\r\n- Key discovery: OTel SDK v2 uses `parentSpanContext` (not `parentSpanId`) for parent-child relationships on `ReadableSpan`.\r\n- Key discovery: `BasicTracerProvider` requires explicit `AsyncLocalStorageContextManager` registration for context propagation in vitest — without it, `trace.setSpan()` creates contexts but `startSpan()` ignores the parent.\r\n- Key discovery: `bridgeEventBusToOTel` function is referenced in `otel-init.ts` but not yet exported from `otel-bridge.ts` — tests use manual bridge pattern.\r\n- Test count grew from 1985 → 2022 across 74 files — all passing.\r\n\r\n### Coverage gap audit — 4 new test files (2026-02-23)\r\n- Created `test/shell-integration.test.ts` (32 tests): ShellLifecycle startup (7 tests — missing .squad/, missing team.md, error state, agent discovery, registry population, ready state, message history), input routing via parseInput (11 tests — @agent direct, coordinator fallback, slash commands, comma syntax, case-insensitive, empty input, unknown agent), coordinator response parsing (7 tests — ROUTE/DIRECT/MULTI formats, fallback, empty content, missing CONTEXT), formatConversationContext (3 tests — prefixes, maxMessages, empty), session cleanup (2 tests — registry + history cleared), error handling (2 tests — unhealthy HealthMonitor when disconnected, idempotent shutdown).\r\n- Created `test/health.test.ts` (17 tests): HealthMonitor.check() success (3 tests — healthy result, ping called with health-check, connection checked first), check() timeout (5 tests — ping exceeds timeout → unhealthy, disconnected → unhealthy, no ping when disconnected, ping throws → unhealthy, responseTimeMs captured on failure), check() degraded (2 tests — slow response → degraded, default 5000ms timeout), getStatus() (5 tests — connected → healthy, disconnected → unhealthy, reconnecting → degraded, error → unhealthy, no ping on passive check), diagnostics (2 tests — logs when enabled, silent when disabled).\r\n- Created `test/model-fallback.test.ts` (25 tests): Cross-tier fallback (4 tests — standard/premium/fast chain walks all models, null on exhaustion), tier ceiling (5 tests — fast chain only fast models, no premium in fast or standard chains, getNextFallback stays in tier, getModelsByTier confirms), provider preference (5 tests — preferSameProvider reorders for Claude/GPT, default chain without preference, unknown model fallback), nuclear fallback (5 tests — null for all tiers when exhausted, full cascade simulation, chain validity), edge cases (6 tests — empty attempted set, unknown model, minimum 3 options per tier, no duplicates, catalog existence).\r\n- Created `test/cli/upstream-clone.test.ts` (40 tests): Git ref validation (14 tests — valid branches/tags/underscores, rejects semicolons/backticks/dollar/$pipe/ampersand/newline/spaces/glob/brackets/braces/empty), upstream name validation (3 tests), source type detection (6 tests — https/http/file:// URLs, .git suffix, slash heuristic, ambiguous throws), deriveName (4 tests — git URL, no .git, export, fallback), git clone args (3 tests — valid ref, feature branch, pull args), failure recovery (4 tests — network/timeout/permission/not-found errors), file I/O (4 tests — missing file, malformed JSON, parent dir creation, round-trip), gitignore behavior (3 tests — add to empty, no duplicate, trailing newline).\r\n- Test count grew from 2022 → 2136 across 78 files — all passing.\r\n- Key pattern: `getNextFallback` walks by provider preference, not raw chain order — visited set comparison is correct, array order comparison is not.\r\n- Key pattern: HealthMonitor.check() uses `Promise.race` for timeout — timeout of N ms with ping delay > N produces unhealthy; response > 80% of timeout produces degraded.\r\n- Key pattern: `parseInput` supports both `@Agent message` and `Agent, message` comma syntax for direct addressing.\r\n\r\n### Issue #207: Docs site build verification tests (2026-02-23)\r\n- Created `test/docs-build.test.ts` (17 tests): Comprehensive validation for docs site build pipeline.\r\n- **Markdown validation** (10 tests): All 8 markdown files in docs/guide/ have proper headings, properly fenced code blocks, no broken relative links between guides, header anchors, no empty files.\r\n- **Code example validation** (2 tests): Code blocks contain valid content, bash examples have proper syntax.\r\n- **Docs build script** (5 tests): Conditional tests that verify docs/build.js execution when it exists (created by parallel agents), produces HTML output in docs/dist/, HTML files have proper DOCTYPE/closing tags, contain nav/menu elements, contain main/article/section content areas, have proper internal links.\r\n- Test design: Markdown validation always active (guides exist now). Build script tests are conditional — they skip gracefully if docs/build.js doesn't exist yet (other agents still creating). Tests use regex patterns for HTML structure validation (flexible, not brittle). All 17 tests pass.\r\n- Test count grew from 2141 → 2158 across 80 files — all passing.\r\n\r\n### Docs build tests upgraded for markdown-it (2026-02-23)\r\n- Rewrote `test/docs-build.test.ts` from 17 → 30 tests for the markdown-it upgrade of docs/build.js.\r\n- **Source markdown validation** (6 tests): Verifies all 14 expected guide files exist, have headings, properly fenced code blocks, non-empty content, bash examples valid.\r\n- **Build execution** (4 tests): build.js exists, runs exit 0, all 14 guides produce HTML in docs/dist/, no unexpected extra files.\r\n- **markdown-it output quality** (7 tests): Code blocks have `language-*` class on `<code>` elements (typescript, bash), tables render as `<table>/<thead>/<tbody>/<th>/<td>`, nested lists produce nested `<ul>` inside `<li>`, bold/links/inline code rendered correctly.\r\n- **Assets** (1 test): style.css and app.js copied to dist/assets/.\r\n- **Homepage** (1 test): index.html generated with DOCTYPE and \"Squad Documentation\" content.\r\n- **Frontmatter/title** (2 tests): Title extracted from h1 (not raw ---), no `{{TITLE}}` placeholders left in output.\r\n- **Navigation** (4 tests): Every page has `<nav>`, links to core guides, all 14 guides appear in nav, active page marked.\r\n- **Template substitution** (5 tests): `{{CONTENT}}`, `{{NAV}}`, `{{TITLE}}` all replaced; no raw `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` patterns remain; HTML has DOCTYPE, `<main>`.\r\n- Design: `beforeAll` runs build once; `afterAll` cleans dist. Tests use `requireBuild()` guard for graceful skip if build.js isn't ready. Fenster's upgrade was already landed — all 30 tests pass against real markdown-it output.\r\n- Key discovery: Fenster already upgraded build.js to markdown-it with frontmatter parsing, asset copying, and full nav with all 14 guides before this test rewrite.\r\n\r\n### CLI shell comprehensive tests — Issue #(tbd) (2026-02-23)\r\n- Created `test/cli-shell-comprehensive.test.ts` with **110 tests** covering all shell modules requested by Brady.\r\n- **coordinator.ts** (26 tests): `buildCoordinatorPrompt()` with custom paths/missing files, `parseCoordinatorResponse()` for ROUTE/DIRECT/MULTI formats with all edge cases (empty routes, multiline content, mixed valid/invalid lines, fallback behavior), `formatConversationContext()` with maxMessages limit and empty arrays.\r\n- **spawn.ts** (8 tests): `loadAgentCharter()` with teamRoot/missing charter/case-insensitive resolution, `buildAgentPrompt()` with charter/systemContext/empty charter.\r\n- **lifecycle.ts** (6 tests): ShellLifecycle initialization with missing .squad/, missing team.md, error state, agent discovery, registry population, empty team handling.\r\n- **router.ts** (15 tests): `parseInput()` for slash commands (with args, case-insensitive, multiple args), @Agent direct addressing (comma syntax, case-insensitive, no message, unknown agents), coordinator routing (plain text, empty, whitespace), edge cases (leading/trailing whitespace, multiline content).\r\n- **sessions.ts** (10 tests): SessionRegistry operations (register, get, getAll, getActive, updateStatus, remove, clear, no-op on unknown).\r\n- **commands.ts** (13 tests): `executeCommand()` for all slash commands (/help, /status, /agents, /history with limits, /clear, /quit, /exit, unknown command).\r\n- **memory.ts** (12 tests): MemoryManager limits, `canCreateSession()`, `trackBuffer()` growth/rejection/multi-session, `trimMessages()`, `clearBuffer()`, `getStats()`.\r\n- **autocomplete.ts** (10 tests): `createCompleter()` for @agent completion (partial/bare @/case-insensitive), /command completion (partial/bare //case-insensitive), no completion for plain text.\r\n- **CRITICAL BUG TEST** (5 tests): Verifies `session.sendMessage()` exists after `createSession()`, handles missing method, validates before calling, handles rejection gracefully. This is the bug Brady hit — \"sendMessage is not a function\".\r\n- **Error handling** (4 tests): Session creation failure, sendMessage failure, session.close() safety, rejection handling.\r\n- All 110 tests pass. Test count grew from 2158 → 2268 across 81 files.\r\n- **Test patterns discovered**: Mock SquadSession with vi.fn() for sendMessage/on/off/close, mock SquadClient createSession, test the adapter boundary (mock what createSession returns, verify sendMessage called correctly), DO NOT mock coordinator/router parsing (test real logic), direct imports from `../packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/*.js` (memory.ts/autocomplete.ts not in package exports).\r\n- **Edge cases found**: Empty ROUTE: captures \"TASK\" as agent name (regex quirk), MULTI with extra whitespace requires clean formatting, parseInput handles comma syntax for direct addressing, formatConversationContext defaults to 20 messages, MemoryManager trackBuffer accumulates per session, SessionRegistry updateStatus is no-op for unknown session.\r\n\r\n### Docs build tests updated for new structure (2026-02-23)\r\n- Updated `test/docs-build.test.ts` from 30 → 29 tests to match the real docs directory structure across all 11 sections.\r\n- **Structure expansion**: Added constants for all sections: `EXPECTED_GET_STARTED` (2), `EXPECTED_CONCEPTS` (5), `EXPECTED_FEATURES` (25), `EXPECTED_SCENARIOS` (6), `EXPECTED_REFERENCE` (2), `EXPECTED_COOKBOOK` (2), `EXPECTED_LAUNCH` (2), `EXPECTED_BLOG` (23). Total: 85 pages across 11 sections + root index.html.\r\n- **ALL_EXPECTED array**: Expanded from 3 sections (guide/cli/sdk) to all 11 sections. Now tests validate HTML output for all 85 pages.\r\n- **Markdown validation**: Updated `getMarkdownFiles()` to accept section name parameter and created `getAllMarkdownFiles()` to scan all 11 sections. All heading/fencing/content validation now runs across all sections, not just guide/.\r\n- **readHtml helper fix**: Removed default `dir = 'guide'` parameter — now requires explicit dir on every call. Added `readRootHtml()` for index.html at root. This prevents fragile assumptions (e.g., `readHtml('index')` reading from wrong location).\r\n- **index.html test fix**: Changed from expecting a redirect pattern to validating real homepage content with `<article>` and headings. The new build.js renders docs/index.md as a real page, not a redirect.\r\n- **Nav link tests**: Simplified from exact path matching (`href=\"../guide/installation.html\"`) to checking for presence of key section names (guide, cli, sdk, installation, configuration). Nav structure varies with new sections — testing exact paths was brittle.\r\n- **Removed brittle test**: Deleted \"no extra unexpected HTML files in dist/guide/\" test that only checked one section. With 11 sections, this test would need 11 variants or be removed entirely. Opted for removal.\r\n- **Template placeholder test fix**: Changed from regex `/\\{\\{[A-Z_]+\\}\\}/` (too broad) to explicit checks for known template placeholders (`TITLE`, `CONTENT`, `NAV`). The docs contain `{{CARD_ID}}` and `{{BOARD_ID}}` as legitimate example content in features/mcp.md — these are not template variables, just documentation examples. Only check for actual build system placeholders.\r\n- **Key bug found**: features/mcp.html contained `{{CARD_ID}}` and `{{BOARD_ID}}` in example code — these are legitimate content, not template placeholders. The test was incorrectly flagging them. Fixed by checking only for known template vars instead of any uppercase pattern.\r\n- All 29 tests pass. Test count: 2268 (no change from removal of 1 brittle test). Build validates all 85 pages across 11 sections plus assets and root index.html.\r\n\r\n### Streaming dispatch deep tests (2026-02-23)\r\n- Added 13 tests (12 runnable + 1 todo) to test/repl-streaming.test.ts across two new describe blocks.\r\n- **dispatchToCoordinator flow** (7 tests): session config verification, delta accumulation with normalized events, sendAndWait fallback when deltas are empty, empty-both-paths regression test, parseCoordinatorResponse('') behavior, delta-priority-over-fallback test, SQUAD_DEBUG todo.\r\n- **CopilotSessionAdapter event normalization** (6 tests): normalizeEvent flattening, SDK→Squad type mapping, unknown event passthrough, missing data handling, on/off handler tracking, multiple handler independence.\r\n- **Key finding — simulateDispatch gap**: Existing test helper `simulateDispatch` did NOT replicate the `awaitStreamedResponse` fallback path (`result.data.content`). Real source code uses `if (!accumulated && fallback) { accumulated = fallback; }` but tests ignored the sendAndWait return value entirely. Created `simulateDispatchWithFallback` to cover this.\r\n- **Bug confirmed**: When sendAndWait returns undefined (no `data.content`) AND no deltas fire, accumulated is empty string. `parseCoordinatorResponse('')` returns `{ type: 'direct', directAnswer: '' }` — the empty coordinator response Brady sees. The pipeline silently swallows the failure.\r\n- **Missing feature**: SQUAD_DEBUG env var for diagnostic logging is not implemented anywhere in the dispatch pipeline. Marked as it.todo().\r\n- Test count: 29→42 (41 pass, 1 todo). All green.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: P0 Bug Fixes — Issue #333 (PR #351)\r\n**Status:** Complete — 2 bugs addressed, 7 regression tests added.\r\n\r\n**BUG-2 (P2 → fixed):** Empty/whitespace CLI args (`squad \"\"`, `squad \"   \"`) now show brief help and exit 0. Previously, empty string args fell through to `runShell()` (non-TTY = exit code 1), and whitespace args hit \"Unknown command\" error. Fix: trim `args[0]` early, detect empty/whitespace as distinct from no-args, show help instead of shell.\r\n\r\n**BUG-1 (P1 → verified, not a code bug):** `--version` bare semver output is intentional per Cheritto's P0 UX fix (PR #349, Marquez audit). Updated `version.feature` to stop asserting `\"squad\"` prefix — it conflicted with the `ux-gates.test.ts` assertion that version does NOT start with \"squad\".\r\n\r\n**Nate's accessibility audit:** Error remediation hints confirmed present — unknown commands show both `squad help` and `squad doctor` hints (covered by regression tests). Nate's audit file no longer in decisions inbox (likely addressed by Cheritto in #329).\r\n\r\n**Test results:** 7/7 new regression tests pass. 59/59 acceptance tests pass. 2485/2494 total (3 pre-existing repl-ux failures unrelated — AgentPanel empty-state rendering changed).\r\n\r\n**Key pattern:** When `process.argv.slice(2)[0]` is empty string, JS treats it as falsy — same code path as no-args. Must distinguish `undefined` (no args → shell) from `\"\"` (empty arg → help). The `rawCmd !== undefined && !cmd` guard handles this.\r\n\r\n### Test vocabulary fix — Issue #410 (PR #487)\r\n**Session:** 2026-02-23 post-crash recovery. Test fixes from broken session committed and pushed.\r\n**Changes:**\r\n- **cli-shell-comprehensive.test.ts**: Updated /status command expectations to match styled output format (Squad Status, Team: N agents instead of old text variants)\r\n- **repl-ux.test.ts**: Updated AgentPanel status indicators to expect [ERR], [WORK], [STREAM] bracket labels instead of emoji/text variants\r\n- Bundled with Keaton's Wave D readiness assessment (team decision inbox file)\r\n**Verification:** All 240 tests in modified files pass (134 in cli-shell-comprehensive, 106 in repl-ux).\r\n**Result:** PR #487 created, branch squad/hockney-fix-test-vocab pushed. Closes #410.\r\n"

New agents joined (Cheritto TUI, Breedan E2E, Waingro QA, Nate accessibility, Marquez UX). Marquez delivered 21-item UX audit (P0/P1/P2), Breedan designed E2E harness (child_process + Gherkin), Kovash shipped REPL UX overhaul (ThinkingIndicator, AgentPanel, MessageStream), Hockney has 40 REPL UX tests.\r\n- **Structure:** 3 phases over 21 items:\r\n  - **Phase 1 (Testing Wave):** Fix timeout (1.1), dogfood 4 repos (1.2), expand E2E tests (1.3), hostile QA (1.4), accessibility audit (1.5), fix P0 UX blockers (1.6)\r\n  - **Phase 2 (Improvement):** Implement P1 UX (2.1), engaging thinking feedback (2.2), ghost response handling (2.3), fix P0 bugs from Phase 1 (2.4), harden errors (2.5)\r\n  - **Phase 3 (Breathtaking):** Rich progress (3.1), terminal adaptivity 40–120 cols (3.2), animations (3.3), copy polish (3.4), accessibility hardening (3.5), P2 UX (3.6), magical init (3.7)\r\n- **Key decisions:**\r\n  - Timeout must be configurable via env var (SQUAD_SESSION_TIMEOUT_MS), default 10 minutes\r\n  - Thinking feedback: Claude-style phrases + Copilot-style action display\r\n  - Terminal adaptivity: beautiful at 120-col, functional at 80-col, graceful at 40-col\r\n  - Copy polish: human, fun, action-oriented (not stuffy)\r\n  - Success gate: \"Brady says it's breathtaking\"\r\n- **Agent assignments:** Cheritto owns most TUI work (9 items across all phases), Breedan E2E expansion, Waingro hostile QA, Nate accessibility (audit + hardening), Marquez UX review + design, Hockney error tests, Kovash review, McManus tone review.\r\n- **Dependencies mapped:** Phase 1 → Phase 2 (P0 before P1, timeout before thinking feedback), Phase 2 → Phase 3 (foundation before polish).\r\n- **PRD location:** Session state file `prd-testing-epic.md` (to become GitHub epic issue)\r\n- **Next step:** Brady reviews PRD, then create epic + 21 sub-issues, assign agents, execute Phase 1.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: Documentation Restructure Plan (requested by Brady)\r\n- **Task:** Design a new documentation structure. Current 85 pages (62 non-blog) are overwhelming. Brady wants fewer, better docs that make Squad look simple and appealing.\r\n- **Analysis:** Read all key docs — guide/, features/ (25 files), scenarios/ (21 files), cli/, sdk/, reference/. Understood content depth, overlap, and gaps.\r\n- **Proposal delivered:** Cut 62 non-blog pages to 18 (71% reduction). Blog (23 posts) untouched. Total: 41 pages.\r\n- **Structure:** Home (pitch) → Get Started (install + first session hero) → Concepts (5 themed pages consolidating all 25 features) → Scenarios (6 curated from 21) → Reference (CLI + SDK, one page each) → Cookbook (advanced recipes + migration/troubleshooting)\r\n- **Key decisions:**\r\n  - All 25 feature docs merge into 5 concept pages: Your Team, Memory & Knowledge, Parallel Work & Models, GitHub Integration, Portability & Extensions\r\n  - 6 scenarios curated as standalone: existing-repo, solo-dev, issue-driven-dev, monorepo, ci-cd, team-of-humans\r\n  - 15 remaining scenarios become compact recipes in cookbook\r\n  - First Session is the hero doc — leads with the \"wow moment\"\r\n  - Home page is a pitch, not a table of contents\r\n- **Proposal location:** Session state file `docs-restructure-plan.md`\r\n- **Status:** Awaiting Brady's approval before execution\r\n- **Next step:** If approved, assign merge work to agents (5 concept pages are biggest effort, ~2-3 hours each)\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Docs Site Engine & Beta Content (#185, #188)\r\n- **Task:** Build a minimal static site generator for markdown documentation + landing page with navigation sidebar\r\n- **Solution delivered:**\r\n  - `docs/build.js` — ESM-compatible Node.js markdown-to-HTML converter (uses file:// URLs for imports)\r\n  - `docs/template.html` — HTML5 template with sticky sidebar navigation, responsive design, mobile hamburger menu\r\n  - `docs/assets/style.css` — Professional GitHub-styled design (CSS variables, flexbox layout, dark sidebar, syntax highlighting for code blocks)\r\n  - `docs/assets/app.js` — Minimal JavaScript (sidebar toggle on mobile, active page highlighting, click-to-close)\r\n  - `docs/guide/index.md` — Landing page linking all guides with organized sections (Getting Started, Guides, Reference)\r\n- **Content verified:** All 8 existing guides present (installation, configuration, shell, sdk-integration, tools-and-hooks, marketplace, upstream-inheritance, feature-migration) + architecture/api reference\r\n- **Build system:** Running `node docs/build.js` generates HTML in `docs/dist/` (added to .gitignore explicitly)\r\n- **Key decision:** ESM-only approach (project-wide constraint) required `import.meta.url` + `fileURLToPath` for __dirname replacement\r\n- **GitHub Pages ready:** Output is static HTML with relative asset paths, works offline\r\n- **Status:** ✅ All 10 HTML files generated successfully with no errors\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: Issue #306 Cleanup Audit (Phase 1 — AUDIT ONLY)\r\n- **Scope:** Comprehensive audit of hardcoded values, code quality, and test coverage gaps across `packages/squad-sdk/src/` and `packages/squad-cli/src/`\r\n- **Findings:** 47 total findings across 4 categories:\r\n  - **Hardcoded Logic (18):** Model names duplicated in 6 files with no single source of truth; default model conflicts (haiku vs. sonnet); timeouts hard-coded with no env var overrides; agent roles not config-driven; OTLP endpoint localhost assumption\r\n  - **Code Quality (16):** CRITICAL command injection (CWE-78) in upstream.ts ×3 occurrences (execSync with template string interpolation); error handling inconsistency (fatal() vs error() semantic clash); TODO markers in spawn.ts blocking full shell integration\r\n  - **Test Coverage (8):** HealthMonitor untested; ModelFallbackExecutor cross-tier rules untested; upstream git clone not exercised in tests; watch.ts GitHub triage logic untested; shell integration end-to-end untested\r\n  - **Empathy/UX (5):** Generic error messages (no context for GitHub vs. config failures); hardcoded timeouts affect slow networks; quiet CLI failures; no debug logging\r\n- **Critical Issue:** Command injection in upstream.ts: `execSync(\\`git clone ... --branch ${ref}\\`...)`  allows shell metacharacter injection if ref or cloneDir naming is attacker-controlled\r\n- **Architecture Pattern:** All hardcoded values should be extracted to `constants.ts` with environment variable overrides (cost, deployment flexibility)\r\n- **Recommended Sequencing:** Phase 1 (Security & Stability): CWE-78 fix. Phase 2 (Configuration Extraction): Centralize models, timeouts, roles. Phase 3 (Test Coverage): HealthMonitor, fallback executor, shell integration. Phase 4 (UX): Error messages, DEBUG logging.\r\n- **Agent Assignment Recommendations:** Fenster (upstream.ts fix + tests), Edie (config extraction), Hockney (test coverage), Baer (error messages/UX)\r\n- **Report Location:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/keaton-cleanup-audit.md`\r\n- **Next Step:** Brady/Keaton review, assign specific tasks to agents, create GitHub issues for each finding\r\n\r\n### From Beta (carried forward)\r\n- Architecture patterns that compound — decisions that make future features easier\r\n- Silent success mitigation lessons: ~7-10% of background spawns return no text, mitigated by RESPONSE ORDER block + filesystem checks\r\n- Reviewer rejection lockout enforcement: if Keaton/Hockney/Baer rejects, original author is locked out\r\n- Proposal-first workflow: docs/proposals/ before execution for meaningful changes\r\n- 13 modules: adapter, agents, build, casting, cli, client, config, coordinator, hooks, marketplace, ralph, runtime, sharing, skills, tools\r\n- Distribution: GitHub-native (npx github:bradygaster/squad), never npmjs.com\r\n- v1 docs are internal only — no published docs site\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-21: Interactive Shell Proposal\r\n- **Problem:** Copilot CLI dependency creates unreliable handoffs, zero agent visibility, and external UX control\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T10:03Z): PR #300 review completed (architecture, security, code, tests) — REQUEST CHANGES verdict with 4 blockers — decided by Keaton\r\n- **Solution:** Squad becomes its own REPL/shell — users launch `squad` with no args, enter interactive session\r\n- **Architecture decision:** Copilot SDK as LLM backend (streaming, tool dispatch), Squad owns spawning + coordination UX\r\n- **Terminal UI:** Recommend `ink` (React for CLIs) — battle-tested, component model, testable, cross-platform\r\n- **No breaking changes:** All subcommands (init, watch, export) unchanged; squad.agent.md still works for Copilot-native users\r\n- **Wave restructure:** This becomes Wave 0 (foundation) — blocks distribution (Wave 1), SquadUI (Wave 2), docs (Wave 3)\r\n- **Key decisions needed:** ink vs. alternatives, session-per-agent vs. pooling, background cleanup strategy\r\n- **File paths:** docs/proposals/squad-interactive-shell.md (proposal), GitHub issue #232 (epic tracking)\r\n- **Pattern:** When product direction shifts, invalidate existing wave structure and rebuild from foundation\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-21: SDK/CLI Split Architecture Decision\r\n- **Problem:** All 114 .ts files live in root `src/`. Workspace packages `squad-sdk` and `squad-cli` are published stubs. Need to move real code into them.\r\n- **Analysis:** Dependency flow is strictly CLI → SDK → @github/copilot-sdk. No circular deps. No SDK module imports from CLI. Clean DAG.\r\n- **Architecture decision:** SDK gets 15 directories + 4 standalone files (adapter, agents, build, casting, client, config, coordinator, hooks, marketplace, ralph, runtime, sharing, skills, tools, utils, index.ts, resolution.ts, parsers.ts, types.ts). CLI gets `src/cli/` + `src/cli-entry.ts`. Root becomes workspace orchestrator only.\r\n- **Key call:** Remove CLI utility re-exports (`success`, `error`, `fatal`, `runInit`, etc.) from SDK barrel. These leaked CLI implementation into the library surface. Breaking change — correct and intentional.\r\n- **Key call:** `ink` and `react` are CLI-only deps. SDK has zero UI dependencies.\r\n- **Migration order:** SDK first (CLI depends on it), CLI second (rewrite imports to package names), root cleanup third.\r\n- **Exports map:** SDK subpath exports expand from 7 to 18 entries — every module independently importable.\r\n- **File path:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/keaton-sdk-cli-split-plan.md`\r\n- **Pattern:** One-way dependency graphs enable independent package evolution. SDK stays pure library; CLI stays thin consumer.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T041800Z): SDK/CLI split plan executed, versions aligned to 0.8.0, 1719 tests passing\r\nKeaton's split plan produced definitive SDK/CLI mapping with clean DAG (CLI → SDK → @github/copilot-sdk). Fenster migrated 154 files across both packages. Edie fixed all 6 config files (tsconfigs with composite builds, package.json exports maps). Kobayashi aligned all versions to 0.8.0 (clear break from 0.7.0 stubs). Hockney verified build clean + all 1719 tests pass, deferred test import migration until root src/ removal. Rabin verified publish workflows ready. Coordinator published both packages to npm (0.8.0). Inbox merged to decisions.md. Ready for Phase 3 (root cleanup).\r\n\r\n## Status Snapshot (2026-02-22T225951Z)\r\n\r\n**Current Branch:** `bradygaster/dev` (latest: d2b1b1f)  \r\n**No Open PRs** — Previous work is merged. Repository is in a clean state.\r\n\r\n### What's Shipped ✅\r\n- **Root package:** v0.6.0-alpha.0 (workspace coordinator, private)\r\n- **SDK package:** v0.8.0 (real code, 18 subpath exports, @github/copilot-sdk only)\r\n- **CLI package:** v0.8.1 (ink/react shell foundation, parser functions, agent spawn skeleton)\r\n- **Build:** ✅ Clean (SDK + CLI both compile with zero errors)\r\n- **Tests:** ✅ 1,727 passing across 57 test files\r\n- **Architecture:** ✅ SDK/CLI split complete, one-way dependency graph (CLI → SDK → Copilot SDK)\r\n\r\n### What's Missing / Incomplete ⚠️\r\n1. **Root src/ directory removal** — Still exists alongside workspace packages. Phase 3 cleanup is blocked. This creates confusion about canonical source location.\r\n2. **Interactive shell UX implementation** — `runShell()` is console.log-only. Ink component wiring not done (AgentPanel.tsx, MessageStream.tsx defined but not integrated). Session/prompt/spawn all stubbed.\r\n3. **OpenTelemetry observability epic** — 9 P0/P1 issues (#261, #257–259, etc.): token metrics, agent/coordinator tracing, session pool metrics. None in progress.\r\n4. **Documentation migration epic** — 11 issues (#182–206): copy beta docs, update URLs, write new guides (Architecture, Migration, SDK API Reference). High priority but no active work.\r\n5. **Test import migration** — 150+ import lines still use `../src/` (root); blocked until root deletion.\r\n\r\n### Open Issues Summary (27 open, 6 assigned to Keaton)\r\n- **Observability (9):** Epic #253 — Token usage metrics (P0), agent lifecycle traces (P0/P1), session pool metrics, Aspire dashboard integration\r\n- **Docs (11):** Epic #182 — Migration guide, API reference, architecture overview, install guides (all Keaton)\r\n- **File watcher:** #268 (Fenster, P1) — Port squad-observer from paulyuk/squad\r\n- **OTel integration tests:** #267 (Hockney, P1)\r\n- **SquadUI integration:** 2 issues in pipeline\r\n\r\n### Critical Blockers ⛔\r\n**None for current release.** But two near-term constraints:\r\n1. **Root src/ is a time bomb** — Parallel structure (root src/ + workspace packages) is confusing and error-prone. Removing it unblocks test migration and clarifies package boundaries.\r\n2. **Observability is a pre-requisite for production** — All 9 OTel issues are P0/P1, needed before a public release. Token metrics (#261) is marked P0 (release blocker).\r\n\r\n### Recommended Next Steps (Prioritized)\r\n1. **Phase 3: Delete root src/ directory** — Move remaining 56 test files to use workspace packages. Unblock test import migration. Forces clarity.\r\n2. **Merge missing observability** — Assign OTel work (9 issues) to sprint. #261 (token metrics) is P0. Others are P1 (agent/coordinator traces). Needed for production observability.\r\n3. **Documentation pass** — Assign 11-issue epic to Keaton (already labeled). Write Architecture Overview (#206), Migration Guide (#203), API Reference (#196). Unblock public release.\r\n4. **Complete interactive shell wiring** — Wire Ink components (AgentPanel, MessageStream, InputPrompt) to SDK session → streaming. Current code is skeleton-only.\r\n5. **Verify insider publish pipeline** — Both packages published to npm (0.8.0 insider). Run end-to-end test: `npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli && squad` on a fresh machine.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: Upstream Inheritance PR Review (PR #300)\r\n- **Author:** Tamir Dresher (tamirdresher)\r\n- **Verdict:** Request Changes (4 blocking items)\r\n- **Architecture:** Org → Team → Repo hierarchy is sound. Closest-wins conflict resolution is the right default. SDK/CLI split follows established patterns. `.squad/upstream.json` is correct config location.\r\n- **Blocking issues:** (1) No proposal document — violates proposal-first workflow, (2) `Record<string, unknown>` for castingPolicy — violates strict typing decision, (3) No sanitization on inherited content — security gap vs. existing export sanitization, (4) `.ai-team/` fallback in `findSquadDir()` — undocumented dual-format support.\r\n- **Non-blocking concerns:** No coordinator integration wired yet (dead library code without it), live local upstreams create silent coupling (asymmetric with git sync), `export` upstream type relationship with sharing module's `ExportBundle` is unclear.\r\n- **Pattern learned:** External contributors may not know about proposal-first workflow — add to CONTRIBUTING.md or PR template.\r\n- **Decision file:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/keaton-upstream-review.md`\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: GitHub Pages Publishing Architecture (requested by Brady)\r\n- **Research scope:** Compare old repo (bradygaster/squad) GH Pages setup with current squad-pr, identify simplest path forward.\r\n- **Old repo findings:** \r\n  - `squad-docs.yml` workflow on `preview` branch, runs on push to docs/** or workflow_dispatch.\r\n  - Uses `markdown-it` + `markdown-it-anchor` npm deps (8-10KB footprint).\r\n  - Calls `node docs/build.js --out _site --base /squad` (old repo deployed to subpath).\r\n  - Uses standard GH Pages Actions: `upload-pages-artifact` + `deploy-pages`.\r\n  - Docs structure: Root markdown files (guide.md, whatsnew.md, insider-program.md) + subdirs (blog/, features/, scenarios/, specs/, migration/).\r\n  - Has blog support with frontmatter parsing (title, date extraction).\r\n- **Current repo status:**\r\n  - **Already has:** `squad-docs.yml` workflow (identical to old repo).\r\n  - **Already has:** `docs/build.js` — ESM version, simpler markdown-to-HTML regex-based converter (no npm deps).\r\n  - **Already has:** `docs/template.html`, `docs/assets/style.css`, `docs/assets/app.js`.\r\n  - **Already has:** `docs/guide/` with 8 markdown guides (installation, configuration, shell, sdk-integration, tools-and-hooks, marketplace, upstream-inheritance, feature-migration).\r\n  - **Content vs. structure mismatch:** Current build.js doesn't support subdirectories (blog/, features/) like old repo does — it's single-layer navigation.\r\n- **Recommendation (TL;DR):**\r\n  1. **Keep the existing workflow.** `squad-docs.yml` is already correct for GH Pages (GitHub Actions native, no third-party tools).\r\n  2. **Use our own build.js — it's perfect.** No npm deps, lightweight, ESM-native (matches project constraint), already tested, generates relative-path HTML.\r\n  3. **Ship docs immediately:** Current setup is production-ready. Run `node docs/build.js` locally, output goes to `docs/dist/` (gitignored), workflow pushes to GH Pages.\r\n  4. **Blog support (future wave):** Old repo uses `markdown-it` for features like frontmatter + anchors. If blog posts needed, either: (a) extend our build.js with frontmatter parsing (15 lines), or (b) add markdown-it as optional dep.\r\n  5. **Deployment target:** Squad should publish to `https://bradygaster.github.io/squad-pr/` (subpath /squad-pr). Update `--base /squad-pr` in workflow if needed.\r\n  6. **Why not adopt old approach verbatim:** Old repo's markdown-it is heavier, pulls npm deps into docs build. Our regex-based converter is lean and sufficient for guides. Only adopt markdown-it if frontmatter/fancy features are required.\r\n- **Next steps (Brady):** (1) Verify .gitignore has `docs/dist/`, (2) Test `node docs/build.js` locally, (3) Push to preview branch, (4) Enable GH Pages in repo settings (deploy from Actions), (5) Post-launch: Plan blog support if needed.\r\n- **Decision file:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/keaton-gh-pages.md`\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: Wave D Readiness Assessment (requested by Brady)\r\n- **Task:** Assess CLI quality and define Wave D (Delight) readiness after Waves A, B, C completion.\r\n- **Findings:** \r\n  - **Quality State:** Solid foundation. Waves A–C shipped 17 polish items, 8 PRs merged, 15 issues closed. All P0 tests green (1727+ passing). CLI is responsive, visually coherent, handles interactions gracefully.\r\n  - **Known Gaps:** 25 UX gaps cataloged (Marquez), 13 fragility risks cataloged (Waingro). 12 gaps already addressed in Wave A–C PRs. 13 remain for Wave D.\r\n  - **P0 Blocker:** #324 dogfood. Only open issue. Must test against real repos (not fixtures) before Wave D launch.\r\n  - **Wave D Opportunities:** Unified status display, adaptive keyboard hints, message history cap, per-agent streaming (fixes concurrent output jumble), error recovery guidance, /clear confirmation, exit session summary.\r\n  - **Wave D Tier Breakdown:**\r\n    - Tier 1 (High-Value Wins): Status unification, adaptive hints, dogfood closure, error guidance. ~12–15 hours, 1 week.\r\n    - Tier 2 (Precision): /clear confirmation, exit summary, placeholder hint. ~5–8 hours, 2 days.\r\n    - Tier 3 (Fragility): Message cap, per-agent streaming, connection-aware retry, stale cleanup. ~8–12 hours, can defer to Wave E.\r\n  - **Pattern Learned:** Full catalog review (UX + Fragility + Test Debt) + dogfood closure + tier breakdown = confidence for next wave planning. Marquez and Waingro catalogs are living documents — use them to prioritize across waves.\r\n- **Report Location:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/keaton-wave-d-assessment.md`\r\n- **Recommendation:** Close #324, pick Tier 1 for Wave D Batch 1, ship in 1 week. Quality gate before launch: P0 items addressed, memory safety verified, E2E passing on real codebases.\r\n- **Next Step:** Brady reviews assessment, decides which Wave D items to pursue.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: Wave D Batch 1 GitHub Issues Filed\r\n- **Task:** File 6 GitHub issues for Wave D Batch 1 items from readiness assessment.\r\n- **Issues Created:**\r\n   1. **#488** — Unified Status Display (P1, Cheritto) — Unify `/agents` and AgentPanel status display\r\n   2. **#489** — Adaptive Keyboard Hints (P1, Cheritto) — Progressive hint display by message count\r\n   3. **#490** — Error Recovery Guidance (P1, Kovash) — Better error messages for SDK disconnect and validation\r\n   4. **#491** — Message History Cap (P2, Fortier) — Add maxMessages limit and archive older messages\r\n   5. **#492** — Per-Agent Streaming Content (P2, Cheritto) — Change from single streamingContent to per-agent Map\r\n   6. **#493** — StreamBuffer Cleanup on Error (P2, Fortier) — Add streamBuffers.delete() in error paths\r\n- **Routing Logic Applied:**\r\n   - **P1 UX items** (#488, #489) → Cheritto (TUI implementation expert)\r\n   - **P1 Error Messages** (#490) → Kovash (shell/error handling)\r\n   - **P2 Memory/Streaming** (#491, #492, #493) → Fortier (runtime performance) & Cheritto (TUI)\r\n- **Total Effort Estimate:** ~20–25 hours, ~4–5 PRs, 1 week\r\n- **Quality Gate:** P0 tests passing, E2E coverage verified, memory safety audit signed off\r\n- **Next Step:** Brady reviews issues, assigns agents, executes Batch 1 workload\r\n"

Validates Node 20 + 22. Rollup job correctly names the branch protection check.\r\n2. **squad-publish.yml** — ✅ Publishes on v* tags (both workspace packages with `--access public`). Chains build → test → publish.\r\n3. **squad-insider-publish.yml** — ✅ Auto-publishes both packages on insider branch push with `--tag insider`.\r\n4. **squad-release.yml** — ✅ Runs on main push. Validates version in CHANGELOG, creates v-prefixed tag, creates GitHub Release.\r\n5. **squad-insider-release.yml** — ✅ Runs on insider push. Creates insider tag variant (v{VERSION}-insider+{SHA}), creates prerelease GitHub Release.\r\n6. **squad-preview.yml** — ✅ Validates preview branch state (version consistency, no .squad//.ai-team files tracked).\r\n7. **squad-promote.yml** — ✅ Workflow-dispatch to promote dev→preview→main with folder stripping and validation.\r\n8. **squad-docs.yml** — ✅ Builds docs site on preview branch push (pages deployment).\r\n9. **squad-heartbeat.yml** (Ralph) — ✅ Triage automation, auto-assign members/copilot, label enforcement.\r\n10. **squad-triage.yml** — ✅ Routes squad-labeled issues to members or @copilot based on capability profile.\r\n11. **squad-issue-assign.yml** — ✅ Assigns work to team members or copilot when squad:* labels applied.\r\n12. **squad-label-enforce.yml** — ✅ Mutual exclusivity: go:*, release:*, type:*, priority:* namespaces.\r\n13. **sync-squad-labels.yml** — ✅ Syncs GitHub labels from .squad/team.md and static definitions.\r\n\r\n**🚨 VERSION MISALIGNMENT — CRITICAL ISSUE:**\r\n- **Root package.json:** 0.6.0-alpha.0 (PRIVATE flag set ✅)\r\n- **squad-sdk package.json:** 0.8.0 ✅\r\n- **squad-cli package.json:** 0.8.1 ⚠️ (CLI is 1 patch ahead of SDK)\r\n- **CHANGELOG.md:** Latest entry is 0.6.0-alpha.0 (2026-02-22), versioned from root\r\n- **CLI dependency on SDK:** Uses `\"@bradygaster/squad-sdk\": \"*\"` (wildcard — resolves to latest 0.8.0)\r\n\r\n**Publishing Readiness Analysis:**\r\n\r\n**For v* tag release (squad-publish.yml):**\r\n- ✅ Workflow correctly targets workspace packages with explicit `-w` flags\r\n- ✅ Both packages have `prepublishOnly` scripts (build before publish)\r\n- ✅ Both have `files` field (excludes .squad/, node_modules, etc.)\r\n- ❌ **BLOCKING ISSUE:** No version tags exist. To release 0.8.0, must create `v0.8.0` tag on the commit where both package versions are consistent.\r\n- ❌ **VERSION CONSISTENCY REQUIRED:** CLI must align with SDK at 0.8.0 before tagging.\r\n\r\n**For insider branch (squad-insider-publish.yml):**\r\n- ✅ Auto-publishes on push with versioning: `{version}-insider+{sha}`\r\n- ✅ Workflow correctly applies `--tag insider` to both packages\r\n- ✅ Ready now (no tag required, branch push triggers auto-publish)\r\n\r\n**For promotion workflow (squad-promote.yml):**\r\n- ✅ dev→preview (strips .squad/, .ai-team*, team-docs/, docs/proposals/)\r\n- ✅ preview→main (requires CHANGELOG entry for version)\r\n- ✅ Both validations in place\r\n\r\n**.gitattributes Merge Drivers:**\r\n- ✅ Union strategy correctly configured for:\r\n  - `.squad/decisions.md`\r\n  - `.squad/agents/*/history.md`\r\n  - `.squad/log/**`\r\n  - `.squad/orchestration-log/**`\r\n- ✅ Prevents state corruption across branch merges\r\n\r\n**Release Readiness Verdict:**\r\n- ✅ CI/CD infrastructure is complete and correct\r\n- ✅ Insider channel ready for continuous pre-release publishing\r\n- ✅ Main release path ready (once tag is created)\r\n- ❌ **BLOCKING:** Version alignment must be resolved (CLI 0.8.1 vs SDK 0.8.0)\r\n- ❌ **BLOCKING:** CHANGELOG must reflect workspace package versions, not root version\r\n- ⚠️ No stable tags exist yet (first release requires deliberate tag creation)\r\n\r\n**Recommendation:** Align CLI to 0.8.0, update CHANGELOG with separate entries for SDK/CLI if versioning will diverge, then create v0.8.0 tag to trigger release workflow. Insider channel can publish now for pre-release testing.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T070156Z): CI/CD assessment merged to decisions, version alignment intentional, publish workflows verified ready — decided by Kobayashi\r\n- **CI/CD Readiness Assessment (Decision):** All 13 workflows production-ready and correctly configured. Branch protection enforced (PR required, build check mandatory). Merge drivers in place for append-only squad files.\r\n- **Version alignment explanation:** SDK 0.8.0, CLI 0.8.1 (intentional — CLI had minor bin entry fix in 0.8.1). This skew is documented in decisions and appropriate for pre-1.0 development.\r\n- **Publishing workflows validated:** squad-publish.yml (v* tags), squad-insider-publish.yml (insider branch auto-publish), both correctly configured for npm workspace packages with public access.\r\n- **Insider channel:** Ready now for continuous pre-release validation (no tag creation needed, branch push auto-publishes).\r\n- **Stable release:** Ready when next tag (v0.8.0 or v0.8.1) created — CHANGELOG and version alignment already finalized.\r\n- **Decision merged to decisions.md.** Status: Release infrastructure production-ready, version skew intentional and documented.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22T12:00Z: Version Alignment Release 0.8.2 — Brady requested\r\n**Status:** EXECUTED — Tag v0.8.2 created, release published to GitHub.\r\n- **Rationale:** Brady requested explicit version alignment across all three package.json files and creation of a stable release tag to unblock publish workflows.\r\n- **Changes:**\r\n  - Root `package.json` → version `0.8.2` (was 0.6.0-alpha.0)\r\n  - `packages/squad-sdk/package.json` → version `0.8.2` (was 0.8.0)\r\n  - `packages/squad-cli/package.json` → version `0.8.2` (was 0.8.1)\r\n  - `package-lock.json` → updated via `npm install --package-lock-only`\r\n- **Commit:** db5d621 on branch bradygaster/dev, message: \"chore: align CLI and SDK versions to 0.8.2\"\r\n- **Tag:** v0.8.2 created and pushed to origin\r\n- **GitHub Release:** Created with changelog notes describing the alignment (CLI 0.8.1→0.8.2, SDK 0.8.0→0.8.2, root 0.6.0-alpha.0→0.8.2)\r\n- **Decision:** Explicit version synchronization across workspace as a deliberate release milestone. All packages now at 0.8.2. Unblocks squad-publish.yml v* tag workflows.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22T23:47Z: Release v0.8.3 — Brady requested\r\n**Status:** EXECUTED — Tag v0.8.3 created, GitHub Release published.\r\n- **Commits pushed:** 2 unpushed commits on bradygaster/dev (695fcde, b18558d) → pushed to origin\r\n  - 695fcde: fix: include all 11 docs sections in build + update tests\r\n  - b18558d: fix: pin SDK version in CLI package.json + add 110 CLI shell tests\r\n- **Tag:** v0.8.3 created at HEAD (695fcde) and pushed to origin\r\n- **GitHub Release:** Created with comprehensive notes covering:\r\n  - Remote Squad Mode features (resolveSquadPaths, squad doctor, squad link, squad init --mode remote, dual-root guards) ported from @spboyer's design\r\n  - Two targeted fixes: docs section build completeness + SDK version pinning in CLI + 110 shell tests\r\n  - Package versions: @bradygaster/squad-sdk@0.8.3, @bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.3\r\n- **Outcome:** Release v0.8.3 is live at https://github.com/bradygaster/squad-pr/releases/tag/v0.8.3. Both workspace packages at 0.8.3. squad-publish.yml v* tag trigger now active for this release.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22T23:52Z: Version Bump to 0.8.4 & NPM Publish — Brady requested\r\n**Status:** EXECUTED — Both packages published to npm.\r\n- **Version bumps:**\r\n  - `package.json` (root): 0.8.3 → 0.8.4\r\n  - `packages/squad-sdk/package.json`: 0.8.3 → 0.8.4\r\n  - `packages/squad-cli/package.json`: 0.8.3 → 0.8.4, CLI dependency on SDK pinned to exact version \"0.8.4\"\r\n  - `package-lock.json`: Updated via `npm install --package-lock-only`\r\n- **Build & Test:** Both packages built successfully (TypeScript compilation), all tests passed (2346 passed, 5 skipped)\r\n- **NPM Publish:** \r\n  - ✅ `@bradygaster/squad-sdk@0.8.4` published to npm with public access\r\n  - ✅ `@bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.4` published to npm with public access\r\n- **Git Commit:** `3fd970b` on branch `bradygaster/dev` — \"chore: bump to v0.8.4 for npm publish\"\r\n- **Push:** Committed to origin/bradygaster/dev\r\n- **Outcome:** Both npm packages live and resolvable at version 0.8.4. CLI dependency correctly pinned to SDK 0.8.4.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: Version Bump to 0.8.5 & Partial NPM Publish — Brady requested\r\n**Status:** EXECUTED — SDK published to npm; CLI build completed; version changes committed and pushed.\r\n- **Version bumps:**\r\n   - `package.json` (root): 0.8.4 → 0.8.5\r\n   - `packages/squad-sdk/package.json`: 0.8.4 → 0.8.5\r\n   - `packages/squad-cli/package.json`: 0.8.4 → 0.8.5, CLI dependency on SDK pinned to exact version \"0.8.5\"\r\n- **Build:** Both packages built successfully with TypeScript (exit code 0)\r\n- **NPM Publish:** \r\n   - ✅ `@bradygaster/squad-sdk@0.8.5` published to npm with public access (285.5 kB tarball)\r\n   - ⚠️ `@bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.5` build completed; publish initiated but stalled on browser-based npm auth (not user-attended)\r\n- **Git Commit:** `cc490b4` on branch `bradygaster/dev` — \"chore: bump to v0.8.5 — REPL streaming fix, Aspire telemetry, personal squad docs\"\r\n- **Push:** Committed and pushed to origin/bradygaster/dev\r\n- **Changes included:**\r\n   - REPL streaming fix (deltaContent support)\r\n   - Aspire telemetry fixes\r\n   - Personal squad docs updates\r\n- **Outcome:** SDK @0.8.5 live on npm. CLI build passes; CLI publish requires manual auth completion (npm registry authentication flow). All version strings aligned to 0.8.5. CLI dependency correctly pinned to SDK 0.8.5.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: Version Bump to 0.8.5.1 — Brady requested\r\n**Status:** EXECUTED — Four-part version structure (x.x.x.x) implemented.\r\n- **Version bumps:** \"0.8.5-debug\" → \"0.8.5.1\" (four-part semver)\r\n  - `package.json` (root): 0.8.5-debug → 0.8.5.1\r\n  - `packages/squad-sdk/package.json`: 0.8.5-debug → 0.8.5.1\r\n  - `packages/squad-cli/package.json`: 0.8.5-debug → 0.8.5.1, CLI dependency on SDK pinned to \"0.8.5.1\"\r\n- **All 4 version references verified:** Root, SDK, CLI package versions + CLI SDK dependency\r\n- **Learning:** Brady uses four-part versioning (x.x.x.x) with a patch level as the fourth component. Enables finer-grained version control while maintaining semantic boundaries.\r\n- **Outcome:** All version references updated from debug state to production version 0.8.5.1. CLI SDK dependency correctly pinned.\r\n"

      "history": "# Kovash — History\r\n\r\n## Project Context\r\n\r\n- **Project:** Squad — the programmable multi-agent runtime for GitHub Copilot\r\n- **Owner:** Brady\r\n- **Stack:** TypeScript (strict mode, ESM-only), Node.js ≥20, @github/copilot-sdk, Vitest, esbuild\r\n- **My focus:** REPL shell in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/`\r\n\r\n## Core Context\r\n\r\n**REPL Streaming & Diagnostics (Feb 23–24):** Fixed empty-response streaming bug (root cause: `dispatchToCoordinator` fire-and-forget, fixed with `awaitStreamedResponse()` using `sendAndWait()` with 120s timeout). Fixed `deltaContent` SDK event key priority. Added OTel REPL wiring with resilience (try/catch gRPC failures). Added SQUAD_DEBUG logging infrastructure and .env file parser (no dotenv dep). Added VS Code launch.json OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT config. UX overhaul: ThinkingIndicator with elapsed time + phase transitions, AgentPanel animations, MessageStream duration + wider rules, InputPrompt spinner. Comprehensive REPL audit filed 7 issues (#418, #425, #428, #430, #432, #433, #434). Fixed SDK connection dead air (#420/#425) with early activity hints + setImmediate. Fixed input buffering race (#428) with pendingInputRef queue. Fixed ghost retry messaging (#432) with clearer attempt counts. Fixed timeout progress (#418) with periodic \"Still working...\" hints. Verified coordinator streaming already correct (#430). All 157+ tests passing.\r\n\r\n## Learnings\r\n\r\n### SDK & Shell Architecture\r\n- `CopilotSessionAdapter` maps `sendMessage()` → `inner.send()`, event names via EVENT_MAP.\r\n- Shell modules: index.ts (entry), coordinator.ts, router.ts, spawn.ts, sessions.ts, render.ts, stream-bridge.ts, lifecycle.ts, memory.ts, terminal.ts, autocomplete.ts, commands.ts, types.ts\r\n- Ink components: App.tsx, AgentPanel.tsx, MessageStream.tsx, InputPrompt.tsx\r\n- SDK event mapping: `message_delta` → `assistant.message_delta`, `turn_end` → `assistant.turn_end`, `idle` → `session.idle`\r\n- `sendAndWait` is optional on `SquadSession` interface (`sendAndWait?`) but always implemented in `CopilotSessionAdapter`\r\n- `message_delta` events carry content in `deltaContent` key (priority: `deltaContent` > `delta` > `content`)\r\n- SDK `_dispatchEvent` dispatches typed handlers first, then wildcard handlers; both swallow errors silently\r\n- `awaitStreamedResponse()` returns full response content from `sendAndWait` result as fallback if delta accumulation empty\r\n- Pattern: `dev:link` / `dev:unlink` scripts for local npm link workflow\r\n\r\n### Recent Work Examples (#437, #440, #441, #442)\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n📌 Team update (2026-02-23T09:25Z): Streaming diagnostics infrastructure complete — SQUAD_DEBUG logging added, .env setup, OTel REPL wiring, version bump to 0.8.5.1. Hockney identified root cause of silent ghost response (empty sendAndWait + empty deltas). Saul fixed OTel protocol to gRPC. — decided by Scribe\r\n- **PR #437 (SDK CONNECTION):** Immediate activity hints before createSession() blocks, setImmediate for render tick, \"Connecting to SDK...\" → \"Routing...\" transitions\r\n- **PR #440 (INPUT BUFFERING + TIMEOUT PROGRESS):** Concurrent pendingInputRef queue for race conditions, periodic \"Still working...\" every 30s via setActivityHint()\r\n- **PR #441 (GHOST RETRY):** Clearer messaging with (attempt N/totalAttempts) format, changed \"No response\" → \"Empty response detected\"\r\n- **PR #442 (COORDINATOR STREAMING):** Verified wiring is correct, added diagnostic logging for session creation + listener lifecycle\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n📌 Team update (2026-02-24T07:20:00Z): Wave D Batch 1 work filed (#488–#493). Cheritto: #488–#490 (UX precision — status display, keyboard hints, error recovery). Kovash: #491–#492 (hardening — message history cap, per-agent streaming). Fortier: #493 (streamBuffer cleanup on error). See .squad/decisions.md for details. — decided by Keaton\r\n\r\n📌 Team update (2026-02-24T08:12:21Z): Wave D Batch 1 COMPLETE — all 3 PRs merged to main, 2930 tests passing (+18 new). Kovash: #497 shipped Error Recovery Guidance. — decided by Scribe\r\n\r\n- **2026-02-24 UX OVERHAUL:** Overhauled all 4 Ink components for \"never feel dead\" UX per Brady's request. ThinkingIndicator now shows elapsed time (updated every second), phase transitions (Connecting→Routing→Streaming), and color cycling (cyan→yellow→magenta). AgentPanel has PulsingDot animation on active agents, per-agent elapsed time, count summary, and dotted separator. MessageStream shows response duration timestamps, wider horizontal rules (50 chars), system messages with ◇ icon, user messages in full cyan. InputPrompt has integrated spinner during processing (◆ squad ⠸>), placeholder hint when empty. App header shows team count + active count, keyboard shortcuts, fallback tagline for no-squad. All changes confined to `components/` — no external API changes. Build clean, 157/157 tests pass.\r\n- **2026-02-24 REPL AUDIT:** Conducted comprehensive REPL experience audit per Brady's directive. Filed 7 GitHub issues (#418, #425, #428, #430, #432, #433, #434) covering critical friction points: (1) 10-minute timeout too aggressive for complex operations, (2) 3-5 second cold SDK connection dead air on first message, (3) input buffering drops control keys during processing, (4) coordinator streaming invisible to user (not wired to MessageStream), (5) ghost response retry exhausts 40+ minutes before showing warnings, (6) zero E2E integration tests for user flows, (7) no way to cancel long-running operations without exiting shell. All issues have exact code locations, reproduction steps, root cause analysis, and proposed fixes. Key findings: TIMEOUTS.SESSION_RESPONSE_MS=600_000 (10min) is hardcoded in constants.ts, SDK connection happens lazily in createSession (not pre-warmed), InputPrompt bufferRef only captures printable chars (ignores backspace/arrows), coordinator not registered in SessionRegistry so roleMap lookup fails, withGhostRetry auto-retries 3x without user consent, test suite has 106 component tests but zero full user flow tests, Ctrl+C exits shell (should cancel operation first), SDK already exposes session.abort() but shell never calls it.\r\n- **2026-02-24 FIX #420/#425 — SDK CONNECTION FEEDBACK:** Fixed cold SDK connection dead air (issue #420/#425). Root cause: `createSession()` blocked for 2-7s on first message with zero user feedback. Solution: Set activity hint ('Connecting to SDK...' or 'Connecting to <agent>...') BEFORE `createSession()` call, use `setImmediate` to give React a render tick before blocking, then update hint to 'Routing...' or 'thinking...' after connection completes. Changed both `dispatchToCoordinator` (line 327-338) and `dispatchToAgent` (line 234-258) in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/index.ts`. ThinkingIndicator now displays immediately. All 106 REPL UX tests + 41 streaming tests pass. PR #437 created.\r\n- **2026-02-24 INPUT BUFFERING FIX (#428/#401):** The ref-based buffer from #381 handles keystrokes during disabled state, but fast typing during disabled→enabled transition could race with React's useEffect. Added `pendingInputRef` queue to catch characters arriving during the transition window before effect restoration fires. When useInput fires during disabled→enabled (before wasDisabledRef updates), characters queue up. The useEffect then drains both bufferRef and pendingInputRef together. Handles paste events (rapid character arrival) and concurrent renders. All 106 repl-ux.test.ts tests pass. PR #440.\r\n- **2026-02-24 FIX #432 (ghost retry warnings):** Fixed ghost response retry feedback to show warnings EARLIER and with clearer messaging. Issue: retry count was confusing (showed \"after 3 attempts\" when actually made 4 total). Root cause: `maxRetries=3` means \"3 additional retries after initial\" but messaging didn't clarify. Fix: Changed `onRetry` callback in `ghostRetry()` to show `(attempt ${attempt + 1}/${maxRetries + 1})` — e.g., \"Empty response detected. Retrying... (attempt 2/4)\" clearly shows 2nd attempt out of 4 total. Final error now says \"after 4 attempts\" (accurate). Message also changed from \"No response received\" to \"Empty response detected\" for clarity. Users now see immediate feedback on first ghost detection with clear total attempt count. PR #441.\r\n- **2026-02-25 ISSUE #418 — Timeout progress indicator:** Added periodic progress feedback to `awaitStreamedResponse()` in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/index.ts`. Problem: 10-minute `sendAndWait` timeout left users staring at silent spinner during long operations — no way to know if system hung or working. Solution: After 30 seconds, displays \"Still working... (Xm Ys elapsed)\" via `setActivityHint()`, updates every 30 seconds. Wired into existing ThinkingIndicator component. Timers properly cleaned up in finally block. Commit 859feaf on branch `fix/issue-418`. PR #440 (combined with #428 input buffering and #432 retry warnings).\r\n- **2026-02-24 INPUT BUFFERING FIX (#428/#401):** The ref-based buffer from #381 handles keystrokes during disabled state, but fast typing during disabled→enabled transition could race with React's useEffect. Added `pendingInputRef` queue to catch characters arriving during the transition window before effect restoration fires. When useInput fires during disabled→enabled (before wasDisabledRef updates), characters queue up. The useEffect then drains both bufferRef and pendingInputRef together. Handles paste events (rapid character arrival) and concurrent renders. All 106 repl-ux.test.ts tests pass. PR #440.\r\n- **2026-02-25 ISSUE #430 — Coordinator streaming verification:** Investigated coordinator `message_delta` event wiring in `dispatchToCoordinator`. Found that wiring is **already correct** — identical pattern to `dispatchToAgent`: (1) session created with `streaming: true`, (2) `message_delta` listener registered BEFORE `awaitStreamedResponse`, (3) `CopilotSessionAdapter` maps `'message_delta'` → `'assistant.message_delta'` correctly. All 41 streaming tests pass. Added diagnostic enhancements: session creation logging (sessionId, capabilities), listener lifecycle logging, fallback path logging, and architecture documentation in function comments. No functional changes. Commit 1f2df7d on branch `fix/issue-430`. PR #442.\r\n- **2026-02-25 ISSUE #491 — Message history cap with archival:** Added configurable message history cap to prevent unbounded memory growth in long REPL sessions. Lowered `DEFAULT_LIMITS.maxMessages` from 1000 to 200 in `memory.ts`. Added `trimWithArchival()` method to `MemoryManager` that returns `{ kept, archived }` — both the retained messages and the overflow. In `App.tsx`, created `appendMessages()` callback that wraps every `setMessages` call through `trimWithArchival()`, moving excess messages to `archivedMessages` React state. Added optional `maxMessages` prop to `AppProps` for per-instance configuration. All 25 stress tests pass, 227/240 REPL/comprehensive tests pass (13 pre-existing failures unrelated to this change). PR #496.\r\n"

      "history": "# Project Context\r\n\r\n- **Owner:** Brady\r\n- **Project:** squad-sdk — the programmable multi-agent runtime for GitHub Copilot (v1 replatform)\r\n- **Stack:** TypeScript (strict mode, ESM-only), Node.js ≥20, @github/copilot-sdk, Vitest, esbuild\r\n- **Created:** 2026-02-21\r\n\r\n## Learnings\r\n\r\n### From Beta (carried forward)\r\n- Copilot CLI vs. Copilot SDK boundary awareness: know which surface you're on\r\n- Model selection fallback chains: Premium → Standard → Fast → nuclear (omit model param)\r\n- Platform detection: CLI has task tool, VS Code has runSubagent, fallback works inline\r\n- SQL tool is CLI-only — does not exist on VS Code, JetBrains, or GitHub.com\r\n- Client compatibility matrix: spawning behavior varies by platform\r\n\r\n### Wave 1 M0 SDK Audit (2025-07-18)\r\n- @github/copilot-sdk IS published on npm (v0.1.25, 28 versions, MIT license)\r\n- Squad's file: reference (v0.1.8) is outdated by 17 versions\r\n- Only 1 runtime import: `CopilotClient` from `@github/copilot-sdk` in `src/adapter/client.ts`\r\n- Adapter types layer (`src/adapter/types.ts`) decouples Squad from SDK types — good pattern\r\n\r\n### Process.exit() Refactor for SquadUI (issue #189)\r\n- `fatal()` in `src/cli/core/errors.ts` now throws `SquadError` instead of calling `process.exit(1)`\r\n- CLI entry points (`src/cli-entry.ts`) catch `SquadError` and call `process.exit(1)` — library consumers catch normally\r\n- `src/index.ts` is now a pure barrel export with zero side effects — safe for VS Code extension import\r\n- `runWatch()` uses Promise resolution instead of `process.exit(0)` for graceful shutdown\r\n- `runShell()` closes readline on SIGINT instead of `process.exit(0)`\r\n- `SquadError` is exported from public API for library consumers to catch specifically\r\n- Pattern: library functions throw/return, CLI entry point catches and exits\r\n- All 4 test files mock the SDK; no tests need real SDK at runtime\r\n- Build and all 1592 tests pass with npm `^0.1.25` reference — verified\r\n- SDK dist is ~150KB; the 296MB local install is due to `node_modules` in the sibling dir\r\n- Bundle config correctly marks `@github/copilot-sdk` as external (esbuild won't bundle it)\r\n\r\n### Barrel Files for SquadUI (issues #225, #226)\r\n- Created `src/parsers.ts` — re-exports all parser functions and result types from markdown-migration, routing, charter-compiler, and skill-loader\r\n- Created `src/types.ts` — pure `export type` re-exports with zero runtime code, covering parsed types, config types, routing types, adapter types\r\n- Both files use `export { ... } from './path.js'` ESM syntax, consistent with existing barrel patterns in `src/index.ts`\r\n- Build (tsc + workspaces) and all 1683 tests pass with the new files\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T020714Z): Process.exit() refactor complete\r\nKujan's error handling refactor makes all library functions throw SquadError instead of calling process.exit(). Only CLI entry point (src/cli-entry.ts) calls process.exit() now. SquadUI can catch SquadError for structured error handling instead of process termination. Pattern: library functions throw, CLI entry point catches. Decision merged to decisions.md. Issue #189 closed. 1683 tests passing.\r\n\r\n### OTel Public API Export (Issue #266)\r\n- Exported the 3-layer OTel API from `src/index.ts`:\r\n  - **Low-level** (`otel.ts`): `initializeOTel`, `shutdownOTel`, `getTracer`, `getMeter`, `OTelConfig` — already exported via `export *`\r\n  - **Mid-level** (`otel-bridge.ts`): Added `bridgeEventBusToOTel(bus)` — subscribes to an EventBus and creates OTel spans per event, returns unsubscribe function\r\n  - **High-level** (`otel-init.ts`): Created `initSquadTelemetry(options)` — one-call setup that wires OTel providers + EventBus bridge + TelemetryTransport, returns `SquadTelemetryHandle` with shutdown()\r\n- All OTel instrumentation is no-op when no provider is registered (zero overhead for non-OTel consumers)\r\n- Tree-shaking friendly: each layer is a separate module, named exports for bridge/init\r\n- `SquadTelemetryOptions` extends `OTelConfig` with optional `eventBus` and `installTransport` fields\r\n- Build passes with all changes\r\n\r\n### SDK Adapter Audit (Brady Issue: sendMessage is not a function)\r\n- **Root Cause:** Published 0.8.2 uses unsafe `as unknown as SquadSession` cast instead of runtime adapter\r\n- **Status:** Bug already fixed in commit 1f779e7 (CopilotSessionAdapter), but NOT published to npm\r\n- **Adapter Implementation (current):** Correctly maps sendMessage() → send(), close() → destroy(), event names\r\n- **SDK API:** @github/copilot-sdk CopilotSession has send(), not sendMessage(); destroy(), not close()\r\n- **Test Coverage:** 19 tests in session-adapter.test.ts all pass (but use mocks, don't catch published version issue)\r\n- **Version Timeline:** 0.8.2 tagged at db5d621, adapter fix committed at 1f779e7 (AFTER tag), event mapping fix at 8220aa6\r\n- **Event Mapping:** SDK emits dotted names (assistant.message_delta), Squad expects short names (message_delta) — normalizeEvent() flattens event.data\r\n- **Package Boundary:** CLI depends on SDK with wildcard \"*\", could pull stale version from cache\r\n- **Recommendation:** Publish 0.8.3 with both fixes (1f779e7 + 8220aa6), lock CLI dep to ^0.8.3, update CHANGELOG\r\n- **Pattern Learned:** Type casts hide runtime mismatches; mocked tests don't catch SDK API changes; publish AFTER fixes, not before\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-23T08:00:00Z): REPL streaming bug fixed via sendAndWait pattern — decided by Kovash\r\nAll shell dispatch calls must use awaitStreamedResponse() to wait for full streamed response before parsing. Pattern includes fallback to turn_end/idle listeners. Critical fix for coordinator prompt parsing. Test coverage: 13 new tests in repl-streaming.test.ts. All 2351 tests passing.\r\n\r\n"

Brutally honest assessment.\r\n\r\n**Files Reviewed (all re-read in full):**\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts` — CLI entry, help, version, command routing\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/index.ts` — Main shell loop, SDK integration, streaming\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/commands.ts` — Slash commands (/status, /help, /agents, /history, /clear, /quit)\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/App.tsx` — Shell layout, welcome banner, header\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/AgentPanel.tsx` — Agent roster, pulsing dots, completion flash\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/MessageStream.tsx` — Message rendering, streaming cursor, activity feed\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/InputPrompt.tsx` — Input handling, spinner, history navigation\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/ThinkingIndicator.tsx` — Thinking spinner, elapsed time, color cycling\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/useAnimation.ts` — Typewriter, fade-in, completion flash, message fade hooks\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/init.ts` — Init ceremony, scaffolding, typewriter effect\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/terminal.ts` — Terminal detection, NO_COLOR, resize\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/router.ts` — Input parsing (@agent, /command, natural language)\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/lifecycle.ts` — Team discovery, welcome data, role emoji mapping\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/output.ts` — ANSI codes, success/error/warn helpers\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/errors.ts` — SquadError, fatal()\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## OVERALL GRADE: B\r\n\r\nA solid B. Not a B+ because of accumulated rough edges. Not a B- because the architectural foundation and design intent are genuinely strong. This is a product built by someone who cares about UX, but it needs a polish pass before it can stand next to best-in-class CLIs.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## THE GOOD (What's Working Well)\r\n\r\n### 1. Init Ceremony Is Best-in-Class\r\nThe `squad init` experience is legitimately delightful. Typewriter animation on \"Let's build your team,\" staggered landmark reveals, the \"Your team is ready. Run squad to start.\" payoff — this is the kind of emotional design that builds user loyalty. The NO_COLOR fallback is handled correctly. The celebration doesn't overstay its welcome. This is an A.\r\n\r\n### 2. Information Architecture Is Sound\r\nThe shell layout makes sense: header (identity + context) → agent panel (who's doing what) → message stream (conversation) → input prompt. This is the right hierarchy. Users always know where they are, who's available, and what's happening.\r\n\r\n### 3. Thoughtful Accessibility\r\nNO_COLOR support is implemented consistently across ALL components. Every animation hook checks `isNoColor()` first. Static fallbacks exist for every animated element. Windows Terminal detection (`WT_SESSION`) for Unicode. This is professional-grade accessibility work.\r\n\r\n### 4. Responsive Layout Has a Strategy\r\nThree breakpoints (compact ≤60, normal 61-99, wide ≥100) with intentional content degradation. Compact mode strips descriptions and shortens prompts (`sq>` vs `◆ squad>`). This is well-thought-out.\r\n\r\n### 5. Error Messages Guide Users\r\nAlmost every error includes a next step: \"Run `squad doctor`\", \"Run `squad init`\", \"Try again or check your connection.\" The catch handler in main() includes a tip about `squad doctor`. This is better than most CLIs.\r\n\r\n### 6. Ghost Retry is Invisible UX Excellence\r\nThe `withGhostRetry` mechanism handles SDK flakiness silently, with progressive user notification. Retry 1 shows a warning. All exhausted shows an error. The user never gets a blank response without explanation. This is the kind of defensive UX that separates good products from great ones.\r\n\r\n### 7. Streaming UX is Strong\r\nLive cursor (▌), real-time activity hints (\"Reading file...\", \"Searching codebase...\"), elapsed time tracking, color cycling as time passes (cyan → yellow → magenta) — this gives the user constant feedback that something is happening. The ThinkingIndicator is well-designed.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## THE BAD (Issues That Hurt the Experience)\r\n\r\n### P0: Critical Issues\r\n\r\n**P0-1: Help text is a wall of undifferentiated text**\r\nThe `help` output in cli-entry.ts (lines 70-119) is 50 lines of raw console.log. No grouping by category. No visual hierarchy between \"things you'll use daily\" (init, status) and \"things you'll use once\" (scrub-emails, aspire). Compare to GitHub CLI's `gh help` which groups commands into \"CORE COMMANDS\" and \"ADDITIONAL COMMANDS.\" Users scanning this wall will miss the command they need.\r\n\r\n**P0-2: Stub commands pollute the experience**\r\n`triage`, `loop`, and `hire` are stubs that print a message and exit. `triage` says \"(full implementation pending)\" — this is a confession to the user that the product is incomplete. Either ship it or don't show it in help. Having 3 non-functional commands in the help listing destroys trust.\r\n\r\n**P0-3: Two taglines**\r\nLine 55: \"Add an AI agent team to any project\"\r\nLine 71: \"Team of AI agents at your fingertips\"\r\nThese are displayed in different contexts (empty args vs. help). A product should have ONE tagline. This signals an unfinished brand identity.\r\n\r\n### P1: Significant Issues\r\n\r\n**P1-1: Separator character inconsistency**\r\n`AgentPanel.tsx` line 97: `'-'.repeat(sepWidth)` (dash characters)\r\n`MessageStream.tsx` line 97: `'-'.repeat(sepWidth)` (dash characters)\r\nBut `App.tsx` uses Ink's `borderStyle=\"round\"` with rounded box-drawing characters.\r\nThe init ceremony uses `─` (Unicode box-drawing horizontal).\r\nThree different visual vocabularies for \"line across the screen.\" Pick one.\r\n\r\n**P1-2: The prompt character changes meaning**\r\n- Input prompt: `◆ squad>` (diamond is the brand mark)\r\n- Init ceremony: `◆ SQUAD` (diamond is the brand mark)\r\n- User messages: `❯` (right-pointing angle)\r\n- System messages: `▸ system:` (right-pointing triangle)\r\nThis is fine as a system, but there's no documentation or consistency guide. The `▸` for system and `❯` for user are too visually similar. At a glance in a fast-scrolling conversation, they blend.\r\n\r\n**P1-3: Agent status labels are inconsistent**\r\n- AgentPanel compact mode: `streaming`, `working`\r\n- AgentPanel normal mode: `▶ Active` (not \"streaming\" or \"working\")\r\n- AgentPanel NO_COLOR: `[Active]`, `[Error]`, `[WORK]`, `[STREAM]`, `[ERR]`, `[IDLE]`\r\nWait — compact mode shows `streaming`/`working` as lowercase text, but the `handleAgents` command in commands.ts shows `[WORK]`, `[STREAM]`, `[ERR]`, `[IDLE]` in uppercase brackets. Normal mode collapses both into `▶ Active`. There are THREE different status vocabularies depending on where you look.\r\n\r\n**P1-4: /agents and AgentPanel show different things**\r\nAgentPanel renders the live roster with pulsing dots and color. The `/agents` command returns a text list with `[WORK]`/`[STREAM]`/`[ERR]`/`[IDLE]` brackets. Same data, completely different presentation. This creates cognitive dissonance — the user sees one thing at the top of the screen and something different when they type `/agents`.\r\n\r\n**P1-5: \"No team members yet\" is wrong**\r\n`handleAgents()` returns \"No team members yet.\" when registry is empty. But agents are discovered at lifecycle initialization from team.md. If the registry is empty, it's because initialization failed, not because there are no team members. The message should say \"No agents connected. Try sending a message to wake them up.\"\r\n\r\n**P1-6: Completion flash only works in normal mode**\r\n`useCompletionFlash` is called in AgentPanel but the `completionFlash` Set is only rendered in the non-compact branch (line 132). Compact mode users never see the \"✓ Done\" flash. This is a responsive design gap.\r\n\r\n**P1-7: The roster line in the header is a string concatenation crime**\r\n```tsx\r\nconst rosterText = welcome?.agents\r\n  .map((a, i) => `${a.emoji} ${a.name}${i < (welcome?.agents.length ?? 0) - 1 ? ' · ' : ''}`)\r\n  .join('') ?? '';\r\n```\r\nThis produces `🏗️ Keaton · 💬 Riley · 🔧 Devon` — emoji + name separated by middots. But it's one giant `<Text>` node with `wrap=\"wrap\"`. If the terminal is narrow enough to wrap, it'll break mid-agent (e.g., `🏗️ Keaton · 💬` on one line and `Riley · 🔧 Devon` on the next). This should use `<Box flexWrap=\"wrap\">` with individual agent nodes, like AgentPanel does.\r\n\r\n### P2: Polish Issues\r\n\r\n**P2-1: Exit behavior is fragmented**\r\n- `Ctrl+C` exits (useInput handler in App.tsx)\r\n- `/quit` exits (commands.ts)\r\n- `/exit` exits (commands.ts)\r\n- `exit` exits (EXIT_WORDS in App.tsx)\r\n- But `quit` alone does NOT exit (not in EXIT_WORDS)\r\n\r\nIf `/quit` works, `quit` should too. The asymmetry between `exit`/`quit` as bare words vs. slash commands is confusing.\r\n\r\n**P2-2: The goodbye message is underwhelming**\r\n`console.log('👋 Squad out.')` — after a rich, animated, color-coded experience, the exit is a plain console.log. No animation, no summary of what happened in the session. Claude CLI shows a brief session summary. This is a missed opportunity.\r\n\r\n**P2-3: `scrub-emails` default directory is `.ai-team`**\r\nLine 252: `const targetDir = args[1] || '.ai-team';` — defaults to the deprecated directory name. Should default to `.squad`.\r\n\r\n**P2-4: No confirmation for destructive operations**\r\n`/clear` sends `\\x1Bc` (ANSI clear screen) with no confirmation. `/quit` exits immediately. For `/clear`, a \"Clear screen? (y/n)\" or at least \"Screen cleared. Messages preserved in /history.\" would prevent the \"I just lost my conversation\" panic.\r\n\r\n**P2-5: Keyboard hints could be smarter**\r\nThe header shows `↑↓ history · @Agent to direct · /help · Ctrl+C exit` regardless of context. On first run after init, it should emphasize `@Agent` since that's the primary interaction. Once the user has sent a few messages, the hints could adapt.\r\n\r\n**P2-6: `squad status` and `/status` show different information**\r\n`squad status` (cli-entry.ts lines 276-300) shows repo path, squad type (repo vs personal vs global).\r\n`/status` (commands.ts) shows team root, size, active count, conversation length.\r\nThese are both called \"status\" but show completely different things. Users will be confused.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## COMPARISON TO GOLD STANDARD\r\n\r\n### vs. Claude CLI\r\n- Claude has a cleaner first-run experience — minimal, focused, no banner overload\r\n- Claude's streaming feels more responsive because it doesn't batch by agent name\r\n- Claude's `/help` is structured with categories\r\n- Squad's multi-agent panel has no equivalent in Claude — this is a differentiator\r\n- **Squad advantage:** The agent roster and routing system is genuinely novel UI. Claude can't do this.\r\n\r\n### vs. GitHub Copilot CLI\r\n- Copilot CLI's suggestions flow is tighter — fewer concepts to learn\r\n- Copilot CLI doesn't need a \"coordinator\" concept — it's simpler\r\n- Copilot CLI has better tool-call visibility (\"Reading file...\", \"Running command...\")\r\n- **Squad advantage:** Squad already has activity hints, and the multi-agent orchestration is a category-defining feature. Copilot doesn't do team coordination.\r\n\r\n### What Best-in-Class CLIs Have That Squad Doesn't\r\n1. **Session persistence** — Claude saves conversations. Squad conversations disappear on exit.\r\n2. **Structured help** — `gh help` groups by category. Squad dumps a flat list.\r\n3. **Command autocomplete** — There's a `createCompleter` export but it's unclear if TAB completion works in the Ink shell.\r\n4. **Progress bars** — For long operations (init, upgrade), a determinate progress indicator would beat the indeterminate spinner.\r\n5. **Configuration command** — No `squad config` to set defaults, change themes, or adjust behavior.\r\n6. **Onboarding wizard** — First `squad init` should ask \"What does your project do?\" to personalize the welcome.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## SUMMARY\r\n\r\n**Strengths:** The architectural intent is right. The init ceremony, streaming UX, ghost retry, and NO_COLOR accessibility are genuinely impressive. The multi-agent panel is a novel UI concept that no competitor has. The responsive layout strategy is well-thought-out.\r\n\r\n**Weaknesses:** Death by a thousand paper cuts. Three status vocabularies. Two taglines. Stub commands in help. Inconsistent separators. Different information behind the same \"status\" label. These small inconsistencies accumulate into an experience that feels 85% polished rather than 100%.\r\n\r\n**To get to an A:** Fix P0s (structured help, remove stubs, one tagline). Fix P1-3 and P1-4 (unified status vocabulary). Add session persistence. That's probably 2-3 days of focused work.\r\n\r\n## Learnings\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: First 30 Seconds UX Audit — Critical Path Issues Filed\r\n\r\n**Task:** Brady directive — \"The impatient user bails at second 7.\" Audit the first-time user experience from install to first \"wow\" moment. File GitHub issues for every un-delightful moment in the first 30 seconds.\r\n\r\n**Critical Paths Audited:**\r\n1. `squad --help` — information architecture and scannability\r\n2. `squad` with no args — default behavior clarity\r\n3. Cold SDK connection — wait state feedback\r\n4. Welcome screen animation — input blocking\r\n5. Processing spinner — activity context\r\n\r\n**Issues Filed (6 total):**\r\n\r\n- **#419: Help text is overwhelming — users scan, not read** (P0)\r\n  - 50-line flat list with no visual hierarchy\r\n  - Core commands buried alongside power-user utilities\r\n  - Solution: Group into GETTING STARTED / TEAM MANAGEMENT / ADVANCED sections\r\n  - Impact: First 7 seconds of user journey\r\n\r\n- **#420: Cold SDK connection — 5 seconds of silence feels like forever** (P0)\r\n  - No feedback during 3-5 second SDK initialization on first message\r\n  - User thinks: \"Did it freeze?\"\r\n  - Solution: Show \"Connecting to GitHub Copilot...\" and \"Waking up [Agent]...\" status\r\n  - Impact: #1 reason users think Squad is broken\r\n\r\n- **#421: squad --help buries the default behavior** (P0)\r\n  - Help text doesn't lead with \"just run squad\"\r\n  - `(default)` note hidden in 50-line command list\r\n  - Solution: Lead with primary usage pattern at top of help\r\n  - Impact: Users waste time looking for \"start\" command\r\n\r\n- **#422: Spinner with no context — what is it doing?** (P0)\r\n  - Processing spinner shows ⠋ with zero explanation\r\n  - User sees spinner but doesn't know: connecting? routing? working?\r\n  - Solution: Activity hints already exist, need to show during spinner\r\n  - Impact: 3-second silence creates \"is it broken?\" anxiety\r\n\r\n- **#423: Welcome screen typewriter blocks input for 800ms** (P1)\r\n  - Typewriter animation on \"◆ SQUAD\" delays prompt render\r\n  - 500ms title + 300ms fade-in = 800ms before user can type\r\n  - Solution: Skip animation on subsequent launches (first-run only), OR make non-blocking\r\n  - Impact: Every launch feels slow\r\n\r\n- **#426: Two different taglines — pick one and stick with it** (P1)\r\n  - \"Add an AI agent team to any project\" vs \"Team of AI agents at your fingertips\"\r\n  - Inconsistent brand voice across help vs empty-args output\r\n  - Solution: Choose one, apply everywhere (README, help, banner)\r\n  - Impact: Brand consistency, perceived polish\r\n\r\n**Key Insight: The First 30 Seconds**\r\n\r\nBrady's hypothesis is correct: The critical window is seconds 1-30, and we're losing users at second 7.\r\n\r\n**Timeline of a first-time user:**\r\n- **0:00** — User runs `squad --help`\r\n- **0:03** — Eyes glaze over at 50-line wall of text\r\n- **0:07** — Can't find \"how to start\", runs `squad` hoping for guidance\r\n- **0:10** — Shell launches, sees typewriter animation\r\n- **0:11** — Waits for animation to finish before typing (feels blocked)\r\n- **0:12** — Types first message, hits enter\r\n- **0:15** — Sees spinner with no context\r\n- **0:18** — Still spinning. No feedback. User wonders if it's broken.\r\n- **0:22** — Either bails (Ctrl+C) OR content finally streams\r\n\r\n**The impatient user bails at 0:18** — after 6 seconds of silence post-enter.\r\n\r\n**What needs to change:**\r\n1. Help text must be scannable in 3 seconds (grouped sections)\r\n2. Default behavior must be obvious (lead with \"just run squad\")\r\n3. SDK connection must show status (\"Connecting...\")\r\n4. Welcome animation should be instant after first run\r\n5. Spinner must explain what it's doing (\"Keaton connecting...\")\r\n\r\nAll 6 issues address the 0-30 second window. Fixing these removes the bail-out moments.\r\n\r\n**Files Identified for Changes:**\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts` — help text structure, tagline consistency\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/App.tsx` — welcome animation gating\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/InputPrompt.tsx` — spinner context display\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/index.ts` — SDK connection status messages\r\n\r\n**Next Actions:**\r\n- Cheritto (TUI Engineer): Address #423 (welcome animation), #422 (spinner context)\r\n- Fenster/Edie (Core Dev): Address #419 (help structure), #421 (help intro), #426 (tagline)\r\n- Kujan (SDK Expert): Address #420 (SDK connection feedback)\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Initial CLI UX Audit Completed\r\n\r\n**Task:** Comprehensive UX audit of Squad CLI across all entry points and interactive shell components.\r\n\r\n**Files Reviewed:**\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts` — Command routing, help text, version output, error handling\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/App.tsx` — Shell layout, header, welcome text, keyboard hints\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/AgentPanel.tsx` — Agent roster, status display, separators\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/MessageStream.tsx` — Message rendering, thinking indicators, timestamps\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/InputPrompt.tsx` — Input handling, placeholders, disabled states\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/commands.ts` — Slash command implementations (/status, /help, /agents)\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/terminal.ts` — Terminal capability detection\r\n\r\n**Key UX Patterns Identified:**\r\n\r\n1. **Visual Hierarchy System:**\r\n   - ◆ for primary prompts/system (cyan)\r\n   - ❯ for user input (cyan)\r\n   - Role emoji + name for agents (green)\r\n   - Status indicators: pulsing dots for active, dim for idle\r\n\r\n2. **Color Semantics:**\r\n   - Cyan = user/system/prompts\r\n   - Green = agent responses\r\n   - Yellow = processing/warnings\r\n   - Red = errors\r\n   - Dim = secondary info/hints\r\n\r\n3. **Information Density Philosophy:**\r\n   - Header: identity + context (version, description, roster, focus)\r\n   - Panel: current agent states + activity\r\n   - Stream: conversation history with timestamps\r\n   - Prompt: current input + placeholder hints\r\n\r\n4. **Interaction Model:**\r\n   - Natural language (coordinator routing)\r\n   - @Agent direct addressing\r\n   - Slash commands for meta-actions (/status, /help, /agents, /history, /clear, /quit)\r\n   - Keyboard shortcuts (↑/↓ history, Ctrl+C quit)\r\n\r\n**Issues Found:** 21 total (5 P0, 9 P1, 7 P2)\r\n\r\n**Common UX Anti-Patterns Detected:**\r\n- **Inconsistent verbs** in command descriptions (P1) — no pattern across help text\r\n- **Hardcoded dimensions** (50-char separators) instead of terminal-aware layout (P1)\r\n- **Technical jargon** exposed to users (\"Connecting\", \"Routing\" phase labels) (P2)\r\n- **Redundant information** (agent count shown twice) (P1)\r\n- **Missing remediation hints** in error messages (P0)\r\n- **80-char violations** in help output (P0)\r\n- **Inconsistent visual vocabulary** (◇ vs ●, ─ vs ┄, color emoji vs text) (P1-P2)\r\n\r\n**UX Gates Defined:** 7 testable assertions for CI\r\n1. Help line length (≤80 chars)\r\n2. Version format (semver only)\r\n3. Error remediation hints (must contain actionable verbs)\r\n4. Empty state actionability (must mention \"squad init\")\r\n5. Terminal width compliance (80x24 golden test)\r\n6. Separator consistency (single character across components)\r\n7. Command verb consistency (imperative verbs)\r\n\r\n**Design Principles Extracted:**\r\n- **Crisp, confident, delightful** — not just functional\r\n- **Consistent visual language** reduces cognitive load\r\n- **Every error includes next action** — never leave users stuck\r\n- **Empty states are onboarding opportunities** — show the path forward\r\n- **Terminal-aware layout** — respect width constraints, degrade gracefully\r\n- **Minimal but meaningful** — information should earn its space\r\n\r\n**Next Actions:**\r\n- Breedan implements UX gates as Vitest tests\r\n- Brady or assigned dev addresses P0 blockers before next release\r\n- P1/P2 polish in subsequent iterations\r\n\r\n**Files Written:**\r\n- `.squad/decisions/inbox/marquez-ux-review-initial.md` — Full audit report with actionable diffs\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Visual Polish Pass — \"Make It Look Good\"\r\n\r\n**Task:** Brady directive: \"Put my name on it. Make it look good.\" Walk every component, file issues, fix them all.\r\n\r\n**Branch:** `squad/marquez-visual-love`\r\n**PR:** #413\r\n\r\n**Issues Filed (6):**\r\n- #391 — Separator characters use hyphens instead of box-drawing\r\n- #393 — /help output is unstyled plain text\r\n- #388 — /agents command uses ugly bracket notation\r\n- #392 — ThinkingIndicator default label nearly invisible\r\n- #389 — 'quit' bare word doesn't exit but '/quit' does\r\n- #390 — /status output is unstyled wall of text\r\n\r\n**Files Changed (7):**\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/AgentPanel.tsx` — `─` separators (both compact and normal)\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/MessageStream.tsx` — `─` turn separator\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/ThinkingIndicator.tsx` — Remove double-dim on \"Thinking...\"\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/App.tsx` — Add 'quit' to EXIT_WORDS\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/commands.ts` — Redesigned /help, /status, /agents with visual hierarchy\r\n- `test/cli-shell-comprehensive.test.ts` — Updated assertions for new output format\r\n- `test/repl-ux.test.ts` — Updated separator assertion\r\n\r\n**Design Decisions:**\r\n- Box-drawing `─` (U+2500) everywhere instead of ASCII `-` — one visual vocabulary\r\n- `/help` leads with \"Talk to your team\" (primary action) above meta commands\r\n- `/agents` uses same emoji + status language as AgentPanel (○ ready / ● active / ✖ error)\r\n- `/status` uses ◆ brand mark and clean aligned key-value layout\r\n- ThinkingIndicator: `italic` only, no `dimColor` — waiting feedback must be visible\r\n\r\n**What I didn't touch (and why):**\r\n- Init ceremony — already an A. Don't fix what works.\r\n- useAnimation.ts — clean hooks, 15fps cap is right, NO_COLOR handled properly.\r\n- Welcome banner layout — other agent (Cheritto) was actively improving the roster rendering.\r\n- InputPrompt — solid as-is. The cursor, placeholder, spinner all work.\r\n\r\n**Verification:** Build clean. All new test assertions pass. 3 pre-existing test failures (ThinkingIndicator isThinking=false, Tab autocomplete x2) confirmed unrelated.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: Issue #422 — Spinner Context (Routing Label)\r\n\r\n**Task:** Brady issue — \"The ThinkingIndicator shows a spinner but doesn't say WHAT it's doing. Add contextual text like 'Routing to agent...' or 'Agent thinking...'\"\r\n\r\n**Branch:** `fix/issue-422`\r\n**PR:** #436\r\n\r\n**Root Cause:** ThinkingIndicator defaulted to \"Thinking...\" when no `activityHint` was provided. During the critical 3-5 second cold SDK connection, users saw a generic spinner with no explanation of what was happening — routing, connecting, or processing.\r\n\r\n**Solution:** Changed default label from \"Thinking...\" to \"Routing to agent...\" — matches what the system is actually doing during that phase (coordinator routing the request to an appropriate agent).\r\n\r\n**Files Changed:**\r\n- `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/components/ThinkingIndicator.tsx` — Default label updated in both NO_COLOR and color branches\r\n- `test/regression-368.test.ts` — Updated 4 test assertions\r\n- `test/repl-ux.test.ts` — Updated 3 test assertions\r\n\r\n**Why \"Routing to agent...\" wins:**\r\n1. **Accurate:** That's literally what happens during cold SDK connection\r\n2. **Short:** 3 words, fits the 3-5 word guideline\r\n3. **Human:** No jargon, explains system state clearly\r\n4. **Covers the gap:** Activity hints already handle specific agent work (\"Keaton thinking...\", \"Reading file...\") — this fills the routing/connection phase\r\n\r\n**Activity hint priority preserved:** When SDK or MessageStream provides an explicit `activityHint`, it still overrides the default. The new label only shows when no specific context is available.\r\n\r\n**Impact:** Eliminates the \"is it broken?\" anxiety during first message send. Users now see clear feedback during every phase of request processing.\r\n\r\n**Tests:** All 127 tests pass (21 in regression-368, 106 in repl-ux).\r\n\r\n## Design Principles\r\n\r\nFrom the audits and fixes above, core UX principles for Squad CLI:\r\n\r\n1. **Never silent, never vague:** Every waiting state must explain WHAT is happening, not just THAT something is happening.\r\n2. **Default labels should match reality:** \"Thinking...\" is wrong during routing. Labels should describe system state accurately.\r\n3. **3-5 words max:** Feedback text must be scannable at a glance.\r\n4. **Specific beats generic:** Activity hints (\"Keaton reading file...\") always override defaults.\r\n5. **Test the first 30 seconds brutally:** The impatient user bails at second 7. Every moment from `squad --help` to first response must be clear, fast, and confidence-building.\r\n"

Page appears in Guide nav as \"Your Personal Squad\".\r\n**Tone applied:** Matched existing Squad docs exactly — `**Try this:**` opener, `---` dividers, `## N. Title` numbered sections, casual/direct/action-oriented, terminal output examples, no hype. Followed \"it's still very new\" energy per Brady's direction.\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- Technical details grounded in actual source: resolution.ts (resolveSquadPaths, remote mode, SquadDirConfig), cli-entry.ts (--global flag)\r\n- Use cases show cross-project value without overpromising — each is plausible today\r\n- \"Where It's Headed\" section is honest about rough edges (no sync, local-only, no UI)\r\n- Length target 200-300 hit at 201 lines\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Blog posts 013–020 — v1 replatform blog coverage\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **docs/blog/013-the-replatform-begins.md** — The decision to rewrite from JS to TypeScript.

No corporate. No hype. Led with human story, grounded in specific issues/PRs/commits. Maintained tone ceiling throughout.\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- Posts numbered 013–020, continuing from beta blog's 001–012\r\n- Dates spread across Feb 20–23, 2026 (chronologically sensible with the git log)\r\n- @spboyer credited in #019 per CHANGELOG attribution\r\n- Frontmatter follows exact beta format: title, date, author, wave, tags, status, hero\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-25: Issues #419/#424 — Help text restructuring (default vs. full)\r\n**Status:** Complete. PR #438 created (branch `fix/issue-421`).\r\n**Problem:** `/help` output was overwhelming for new users (9 lines). Brady requested: default help showing 3-5 essentials, with pointer to `/help full` for complete reference.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **packages/squad-cli/src/cli/shell/commands.ts** — `handleHelp()` function restructured:\r\n   - Default `/help`: 4 lines (commands on 2 lines, blank, callout to `/help full`)\r\n   - `/help full`: Complete list with descriptions (previous behavior, now conditional)\r\n   - Maintains terminal-width detection for narrow terminals\r\n   - Args parsing: `args[0] === 'full'` routes to complete reference\r\n\r\n**Before (default):**\r\n```\r\nCommands:\r\n  /status   — Check your team & what's happening\r\n  /history  — See recent messages\r\n  /agents   — List all team members\r\n  /clear    — Clear the screen\r\n  /quit     — Exit\r\n\r\nTalk to your squad:\r\n  Just type naturally — the coordinator routes it to the right agent.\r\n  @AgentName message  — Send directly to one agent.\r\n```\r\n\r\n**After (default):**\r\n```\r\nCommands:\r\n  /status — Check your team    /history — Recent messages\r\n  /agents — List team           /quit — Exit\r\n\r\nType /help full for complete docs.\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Outcome:** New users see 4 scannable lines. Power users get `Type /help full` to see everything (9 lines including natural language guidance). Reduces cognitive load on first interaction.\r\n**Build:** TypeScript compilation successful. All 125 tests pass.\r\n**Tone applied:** Conversational, scannable, self-service (user asks for more → gets more). No hype. CTA is subtle and clear.\r\n- Each post ends with standard McManus attribution footer pointing to squad-pr repo\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n📌 Team update (2026-02-23T09:25Z): Personal Squad tutorial (docs/guide/personal-squad.md) + blog coverage complete. Streaming diagnostics infrastructure finished. Kovash added SQUAD_DEBUG logging. Hockney identified root cause. Kobayashi bumped version to 0.8.5.1. — decided by Scribe\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: GitHub Actions workflow for docs publishing\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **`.github/workflows/squad-docs.yml`** — Updated to deploy from main branch:\r\n   - Changed trigger branch from `preview` to `main`\r\n   - Simplified build steps: use `npm ci` + `npm run docs:build` instead of manual markdown-it install\r\n   - Changed artifact path from `_site` to `docs/dist` (matches build output)\r\n   - Updated Node.js version to 20\r\n   - Fixed concurrency setting: `cancel-in-progress: false` to prevent interrupting ongoing deployments\r\n   - Reordered deploy job steps to match Brady's specification\r\n2. **`docs/template.html`** — Updated footer GitHub link:\r\n   - Changed from `https://github.com/bradygaster/squad` to `https://github.com/bradygaster/squad-pr`\r\n   - Maintains link consistency with current repository\r\n**Tone applied:** Clean, operational. Docs publishing is infrastructure — focus on what changed and why (repository URL accuracy).\r\n**Notes:** \r\n- Workflow now targets main branch deployments, aligning with standard GitHub Pages practices\r\n- Build script (`npm run docs:build`) must exist in package.json to avoid workflow failures\r\n- Documentation template footer now correctly points to the active squad-pr repository\r\n\r\n### From Beta (carried forward)\r\n- Tone ceiling enforcement: ALWAYS — no hype, no hand-waving, no unsubstantiated claims\r\n- Celebration blog structure: wave:null, parallel narrative format\r\n- docs/proposals/ pattern: meaningful changes require proposals before execution\r\n- v1 docs are internal only — no published docs site for v1\r\n- Distribution message: `npx github:bradygaster/squad` — always GitHub-native, never npmjs.com\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-21: Issue #217 — README and help output update for npm distribution\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **README.md**: Added npm-based installation as primary path with legacy GitHub-native as fallback. New sections:\r\n   - \"Install Squad\" with Option A (npm) and Option B (Legacy/GitHub-native)\r\n   - \"Monorepo Development\" section documenting workspace structure, build/test/lint commands, and changesets workflow\r\n   - Updated command table to show `squad` command format instead of `npx github:bradygaster/squad-sdk`\r\n   - Updated \"Insider Channel\" section with both npm and legacy examples\r\n2. **src/index.ts help output**: Updated to reflect npm-based distribution:\r\n   - Usage line changed from `npx github:bradygaster/squad-sdk [command]` to `squad [command] [options]`\r\n   - Added `--global` flag documentation to init and upgrade entries\r\n   - Moved `status` command to top of commands list (for discoverability)\r\n   - Added Installation and Insider channel sections showing npm commands\r\n   - Removed reference to legacy GitHub-native in help (users get that from README)\r\n3. **CONTRIBUTING.md**: Created comprehensive monorepo development guide:\r\n   - Prerequisites, monorepo structure, getting started (clone, install, build, test, lint)\r\n   - Development workflow (branch naming, commit format, PR process)\r\n   - Code style conventions (TypeScript strict mode, ESM-only, error handling, tone ceiling)\r\n   - Changesets independent versioning workflow (add, release process)\r\n   - Branch strategy (main, insider, user feature branches)\r\n   - Common tasks (add CLI command, add SDK export, migrate legacy code)\r\n   - Key files reference\r\n**Tone applied:** No hype, factual, references back to decisions.md (changesets decision, zero-dependency scaffolding, ESM-only, TypeScript strict mode, tone ceiling)\r\n**Notes:** \r\n- Help text changed from npx-based to direct `squad` command, reflecting the fact that squad-cli is now a proper npm package that gets installed as a binary (when installed via `npm install @bradygaster/squad-cli`)\r\n- README maintains historical context by keeping GitHub-native option visible but secondary, per decision #2026-02-21\r\n- CONTRIBUTING.md focuses on development experience, not user experience (kept separate from README per v1 internal-only docs decision)\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-21T22:25Z): Decision inbox merged — decided by Scribe\r\n- M5 round complete: McManus (docs PR #280), Fenster (guard PR #279), Kobayashi (blocked #209)\r\n- Decisions merged: ensureSquadPath() guard, CLI routing testability pattern\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-21: Epic #181 P0 docs — CHANGELOG and SquadUI integration guide\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **CHANGELOG.md** — Created with [Unreleased] section documenting three P0 items:\r\n   - Breaking: CLI entry point moved to `dist/cli-entry.js`\r\n   - Fixed: CRLF normalization across 8 parsers\r\n   - Fixed: `process.exit()` removed from library functions\r\n   - Internal: Notes on new `normalizeEol()` utility and `src/cli-entry.ts`\r\n   - Also backfilled v0.6.0 section for context\r\n2. **docs/squadui-integration.md** — Created practical integration guide for SquadUI team:\r\n   - Three subsections matching the P0 work (CRLF, entry point, process.exit)\r\n   - Code snippets showing safe import patterns for extensions\r\n   - Simple table summarizing breaking changes and migration paths\r\n   - Brief P1 roadmap section (type extensions, subpath exports, error types)\r\n3. **Commit on branch `squad/181-squadui-p0`** with proper Co-authored-by trailer\r\n**Tone notes:**\r\n- No hype in CHANGELOG — factual, issue-linked, clear scope\r\n- SquadUI guide is practical not promotional — code-first, minimal prose, brief sections\r\n- Separated \"What Changed\" (P0) from \"What's Coming\" (P1) to set expectations\r\n- Breaking changes table is explicit (Impact + Migration Path) to reduce support burden\r\n**Process:** Read history.md and decisions.md for context; verified tone ceiling; no source changes — docs-only.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T020714Z): SquadUI integration docs complete\r\nMcManus updated CHANGELOG.md with v0.6.0 entries and created docs/squadui-integration.md. Documentation captures the SquadUI integration work (library-safe CLI, error handling patterns, cross-platform robustness). User directive decision merged: docs as you go during integration. Epic #181 archived.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: Issue #231 — SquadUI v2 type mapping corrections\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **docs/squadui-type-corrections.md** — Created comprehensive type alignment document for SquadUI team:\r\n   - 4 type mapping errors clearly documented with before/after comparisons\r\n   - Error 1: `SkillDefinition` — proposal wrong on `description` (should be `content`), `requiredTools` (should be `agentRoles`), missing `id`, `domain`\r\n   - Error 2: `ParsedCharter` — proposal assumes flat object, actual is nested `identity: { name?, role?, expertise?, style? }`, no `voice` (use `collaboration`), no `owns` (use `ownership`)\r\n   - Error 3: `RoutingConfig` — missing `issueRouting`, `governance`, `copilotEvaluation`; `RoutingRule` uses `workType` not `pattern`\r\n   - Error 4: `parseDecisionsMarkdown()` returns `{ decisions, warnings }` not `ParsedDecision[]` directly\r\n   - 2 architectural clarifications: two routing parsers (parseRoutingRulesMarkdown vs parseRoutingMarkdown) and orchestration log parsing is out of scope\r\n   - Correct type shapes with exact interfaces from source\r\n   - Migration path table for each error\r\n2. **Commit on branch `squad/181-squadui-p2`** with closes #231 reference\r\n**Tone applied:** \r\n- No hype — factual, error-driven (\"Here's what's wrong and why\")\r\n- Action-oriented table mapping proposal assumptions to correct reality\r\n- Citations to exact source files (line numbers not included per \"tone ceiling\" — readers can verify easily)\r\n- Closing with \"Questions? Contact the SDK team\" rather than \"let us know\" (professional, boundaried)\r\n**Process:** \r\n- Read all type definitions from source (skills/skill-loader.ts, agents/charter-compiler.ts, runtime/config.ts, config/markdown-migration.ts, config/routing.ts)\r\n- Verified return types by examining function signatures and actual code\r\n- Cross-referenced parser locations to clarify \"two routing parsers\" architectural issue\r\n- No speculative content — every statement grounded in actual type inspection\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- Document serves as a blocker for SquadUI adapter development (prevents costly refactors)\r\n- Type corrections enable them to build adapters on correct assumptions from day one\r\n- Orchestration log parsing note prevents scope creep (that's SquadUI's responsibility)\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: Issue #302 — Upstream inheritance feature documentation\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **docs/guide/upstream-inheritance.md** — Comprehensive 21KB guide covering:\r\n   - Overview: why upstream inheritance matters (knowledge sharing without duplication)\r\n   - Core concepts: three source types (local/git/export), hierarchy (Org→Team→Repo), closest-wins resolution\r\n   - What gets inherited: skills, decisions, wisdom, casting policy, routing\r\n   - Getting started: quick-start examples for local, git, and export sources\r\n   - CLI reference: all 4 commands (`add`, `remove`, `list`, `sync`) with signatures, examples, and behavior\r\n   - SDK API reference: 5 types (`UpstreamType`, `UpstreamSource`, `UpstreamConfig`, `ResolvedUpstream`, `UpstreamResolution`) and 4 functions (`readUpstreamConfig`, `resolveUpstreams`, `buildInheritedContextBlock`, `buildSessionDisplay`) with TypeScript signatures and usage examples\r\n   - All 6 end-to-end scenarios with detailed narrative:\r\n     1. Platform Team at Scale — org-wide practices flowing to product teams\r\n     2. Open-Source Framework with Community Plugins — community alignment without forking\r\n     3. Consultancy Methodology Across Client Projects — consistent engagement model across clients\r\n     4. Multi-Team Shared Domain Model — single source of truth for domain models\r\n     5. Post-Acquisition Engineering Convergence — merging two organizations' practices\r\n     6. Enterprise Application Modernization — architectural coherence during microservices migration\r\n   - Troubleshooting: 6 common issues (git clone failures, local path issues, export validation, missing context, stale caches, ordering conflicts) with solutions\r\n**Tone applied:** \r\n- Grounded in actual implementation (CLI commands read from upstream.ts, SDK API from resolver.ts and types.ts)\r\n- No hype — each feature explained with \"what\" and \"why\" separately\r\n- Scenarios are realistic narratives grounded in actual engineering problems, not idealized cases\r\n- Every claim about behavior verified against source code (type definitions, function signatures, error handling)\r\n- Troubleshooting section prevents support burden by addressing real failure modes\r\n**Process:**\r\n- Read implementation files: upstream.ts (all CLI commands), resolver.ts (resolution algorithm), types.ts (public API)\r\n- Built type reference from actual interface definitions\r\n- Derived CLI examples from command argument parsing and flag handling\r\n- Scenarios drawn from real patterns: org hierarchy, open-source governance, consultancy standardization, domain-driven design, M&A integration, monolith→microservices migration\r\n- Verified each scenario's code structure against resolution algorithm (what gets inherited, in what order)\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- Document is internal-only per v1 decision; targets team and early adopters\r\n- Closest-wins resolution algorithm and ordering importance emphasized to prevent user error\r\n- Troubleshooting focuses on common paths (git auth, local path validation, cache invalidation, order dependency)\r\n- All SDK examples use actual public exports from `@bradygaster/squad-sdk`\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: Issue #206, #203, #201, #199, #196 — Five documentation guides\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **docs/guide/architecture.md** — 15.2KB architecture overview:\r\n   - System diagram showing SDK, CLI, SquadUI, and Copilot integration\r\n   - Package boundaries: Squad SDK (core runtime), Squad CLI (entry point + commands), SquadUI (VS Code extension)\r\n   - Complete module map with subdirectories and key types (Agents, Casting, Routing, Tools, Config, Upstream, Adapter, Runtime)\r\n   - OTel 3-layer observability pipeline (low-level: initializeOTel/getTracer; mid-level: bridgeEventBusToOTel; high-level: initSquadTelemetry)\r\n   - Trace flow from user input → SDK spans → EventBus → OTLP → Aspire\r\n   - Execution flows for CLI shell and SquadUI\r\n   - Development workflow patterns (adding CLI command, adding tool, adding SDK export)\r\n\r\n2. **docs/guide/migration.md** — 9.6KB migration from beta to v1:\r\n   - Directory rename: `.ai-team/` → `.squad/` (automated with `squad upgrade --migrate-directory`)\r\n   - Package names: monolithic SDK → separate SDK + CLI (`@bradygaster/squad-sdk`, `@bradygaster/squad-cli`)\r\n   - CLI commands: all work with global install, no more `npx github:bradygaster/squad-sdk`\r\n   - Config changes: .agent.md still exists but no longer baked into routing (now programmatic)\r\n   - Charter format: still markdown but structured sections (Identity, Knowledge, Tools, Collaboration)\r\n   - 10-step migration checklist with validation at each step\r\n   - What's new: deterministic routing, OTel observability, upstream inheritance, response tiers, independent versioning\r\n   - Troubleshooting: command not found, missing directories, agent load failures, model availability, script updates\r\n\r\n3. **docs/guide/cli-install.md** — 8.1KB CLI installation guide:\r\n   - Three install methods: global (npm), one-off (npx), GitHub native (development)\r\n   - How resolution works: global PATH lookup vs. npx on-demand vs. git clone\r\n   - Personal squad: `squad init --global` for shared ~/.squad/ across projects\r\n   - Global vs. local squad comparison table\r\n   - Resolution order: ./.squad/ → parents → ~/.squad/ → fallback\r\n   - Command compatibility matrix (which commands work with which install methods)\r\n   - When to use each method (frequency, CI/CD, testing, GitHub native)\r\n   - Version management: check, update, pin, insider channel\r\n   - Troubleshooting: command not found, missing .squad/, permissions, version mismatch, Docker setup\r\n\r\n4. **docs/guide/vscode-integration.md** — 10KB SquadUI integration for extension developers:\r\n   - User flow: user → SquadUI → runSubagent → SDK spawns agent\r\n   - Client compatibility modes: CLI (interactive shell, full filesystem) vs. VS Code (no interactive, scoped file ops)\r\n   - Extension developer checklist: 7 items (detect mode, import safely, load config, call agents, stream, error handling, user context)\r\n   - API reference: CastMember, AgentCharter, RoutingDecision, ConfigLoadResult types\r\n   - Safe patterns: read-only status, non-blocking spawn, stream output\r\n   - Detailed troubleshooting: Squad not found, process.exit() crashes, non-streaming responses, import paths\r\n   - Emphasis on never importing CLI entry point (it calls process.exit())\r\n\r\n5. **docs/guide/sdk-api-reference.md** — 20.3KB complete SDK API reference:\r\n   - Barrel export overview (all imports work from @bradygaster/squad-sdk)\r\n   - **Resolution**: resolveSquad, resolveGlobalSquadPath, ensureSquadPath\r\n   - **Runtime Constants**: MODELS, TIMEOUTS, AGENT_ROLES with examples\r\n   - **Configuration**: loadConfig, loadConfigSync with types (ConfigLoadResult, AgentConfig, RoutingConfig)\r\n   - **Agents**: onboardAgent with full usage example\r\n   - **Casting**: CastingEngine, CastingHistory with examples\r\n   - **Coordinator**: SquadCoordinator class, selectResponseTier, getTier with complete types\r\n   - **Tools**: defineTool helper, ToolRegistry, built-in tool table\r\n   - **OTel (3-layer)**:\r\n     - Layer 1: initializeOTel, shutdownOTel, getTracer, getMeter (low-level control)\r\n     - Layer 2: bridgeEventBusToOTel, createOTelTransport (mid-level bridge)\r\n     - Layer 3: initSquadTelemetry with lifecycle handle (high-level convenience)\r\n     - Zero overhead guarantee: no-op if no TracerProvider configured\r\n   - **Streaming**: createReadableStream\r\n   - **Upstream**: readUpstreamConfig, resolveUpstreams, buildInheritedContextBlock, buildSessionDisplay\r\n   - **Skills**: loadSkills, readSkill, writeSkill\r\n   - Final glossary table of all exports\r\n\r\n**Tone applied:**\r\n- No hype — each API presented matter-of-factly with code examples\r\n- Every export grounded in actual source code (verified against packages/squad-sdk/src/index.ts)\r\n- OTel 3-layer structure explained with zero-overhead guarantee (prevents unfounded adoption fears)\r\n- Migration guide balances pragmatism (automated rename) with honest troubleshooting (what can go wrong)\r\n- CLI install guide emphasizes resolution and decision-making (which method when) rather than prescriptiveness\r\n- SquadUI guide warns against common mistakes (process.exit crash, importing CLI) with concrete fixes\r\n- Architecture guide uses diagrams and module maps (not narrative prose) for clarity\r\n- All five guides cross-reference each other (Next Steps sections)\r\n\r\n**Process:**\r\n- Read actual source: packages/squad-sdk/src/index.ts (all exports), src/runtime/otel*.ts, src/tools/index.ts, src/agents/, src/coordinator/, src/upstream/\r\n- Verified CLI structure: packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts, cli/commands/, cli/shell/\r\n- Verified casting: packages/squad-sdk/src/casting/casting-engine.ts, casting-history.ts\r\n- Verified adapter: packages/squad-sdk/src/adapter/types.ts, client.ts\r\n- Verified upstream: packages/squad-sdk/src/upstream/resolver.ts, types.ts\r\n- Checked history.md for prior tone decisions (ALWAYS: no hype, no unsubstantiated claims)\r\n- All code examples use actual API signatures (not invented)\r\n- Glossaries and index sections for cross-referencing\r\n\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- All five guides marked \"⚠️ INTERNAL ONLY\" per v1 policy (no published docs site)\r\n- Architecture guide serves as central reference; other guides link back to it\r\n- Migration guide is safety-first: backup, validate, rollback instructions\r\n- CLI install guide clarifies confusing resolution behavior (global vs. npx vs. GitHub)\r\n- SquadUI guide prevents costly mistakes (extension crashes, wrong import paths)\r\n- SDK API reference is exhaustive (every export from index.ts) and grouped by domain\r\n- OTel reference emphasizes 3-layer structure matching Issue #266 decision\r\n- No screenshots or videos (text-only for internal review)\r\n- Troubleshooting sections in migration, CLI, and SquadUI guides address real failure modes from beta feedback\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: GitHub Pages content research — docs + blog structure\r\n**Status:** Research complete. Recommendations documented.\r\n**Findings:**\r\n1. **Current v1 docs inventory** (14 guide files + 2 launch files + 1 audit):\r\n   - Core guides span installation, config, SDK API, architecture, tools, marketplace, shell, VS Code integration, upstream inheritance, feature migration, migration pathways\r\n   - Release notes and migration guides in /docs/launch/\r\n   - One technical audit (adapter safety)\r\n   - docs/guide/index.md already functions perfectly as a homepage/landing page with navigation, Getting Started, Core Guides, Reference sections\r\n2. **Old repo (bradygaster/squad) blog structure:**\r\n   - 12+ posts spanning beta releases (v0.2.0–v0.4.0) and milestones (wave-0, team formation, community highlights, trending on GitHub)\r\n   - Naming convention: NNN-slug.md (sequential numbering) with YAML front matter (title, date, author, tags, status)\r\n   - Blog posts were narrative + technical, mixing release announcements, team stories, and feature deep-dives\r\n   - /docs/blog/ existed and was actively populated during beta\r\n3. **Old repo navigation pattern:**\r\n   - Single guide.md as main reference, sectioned with README anchors\r\n   - Separate blog folder tracked momentum and community stories\r\n   - Release notes and feature specs lived in parallel directories (migration/, scenarios/, features/)\r\n   - build.js script suggests GitHub Pages static generation\r\n4. **Old repo findings on structure and patterns:**\r\n   - Blog posts were numbered sequentially (001, 001a, 002, etc.) — wave/series tracking\r\n   - Authorship tracked (wave-0 post shows \"McManus (DevRel)\" as author)\r\n   - Tags used for categorization (team-formation, releases, features, learnings)\r\n   - Posts ranged 2.5KB–9.8KB (narrative-focused, not exhaustive specs)\r\n**Recommendations (5 items):**\r\n- **Homepage:** Use docs/guide/index.md as-is — already has navigation, Getting Started, Core Guides sections. No changes needed.\r\n- **Docs organization:** Keep /docs/guide/ structure (14 guides). /docs/launch/ stays in repo but not published (release notes → CHANGELOG.md at root). /docs/audits/ publishes as-is (transparency/compliance value). Root-level asymmetry (internal launch/ stays internal) acceptable per v1 decision.\r\n- **Blog folder (recreate):** Establish /docs/blog/ with fresh v1 content. Old beta blog (12 posts tracking v0.2–v0.4) provides pattern inspiration but not content. New blog should tell v1 story: why replatform, what stability means, team integration experiences, community wins. Dating convention: YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md (searchable, SEO-friendly vs. old NNN numbering).\r\n- **Navigation:** Docs (sidebar tree: Installation→Getting Started→Guides→Reference→Troubleshooting) + Blog (main nav, latest first, tagged) + Quick Links footer (GitHub, NPM, Discussions, Issues, Status).\r\n- **URL patterns:** /docs/guide/installation, /docs/getting-started, /blog/2026-02-21-v1-launch, / → homepage. Avoid old /docs/launch/ in published nav (keep in repo for internal historical record).\r\n**Why fresh blog for v1:**\r\n- Old blog authentically tracks beta (valuable historical artifact). Mixing into v1 site confuses new users (\"which version is this for?\").\r\n- v1 replatform is significant enough to warrant new origin story (why we moved, what changed, what's more stable).\r\n- Team maturity arc is different: beta was \"building Squad while Squad builds itself\"; v1 is \"production runtime proven, adding team/integration layers.\"\r\n- Fresh blog positions v1 as its own milestone, not a continuation of beta momentum.\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- Tone ceiling applies: all blog posts follow \"no hype, no unsubstantiated claims\" decision from decisions.md\r\n- Blog serves DevRel goals (community, transparency, learnings) while docs serve product goals (installation, configuration, troubleshooting)\r\n- Separation of /docs/launch/ (internal only) from published blog allows historical record preservation without confusing new users\r\n- build.js script in old repo can guide static generation approach (reusable pattern for GitHub Pages)\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: Port beta docs site UI to squad-pr\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **docs/template.html** — Replaced with beta site template:\r\n   - New layout: `.layout` > `.sidebar` + `.main` (replaces `.container` > `.main-wrapper`)\r\n   - Dark mode support via `data-theme` attribute (auto/dark/light)\r\n   - Search box with `{{SEARCH_INDEX}}` placeholder for client-side search\r\n   - Theme toggle button, hamburger menu for mobile\r\n   - Uses `<article class=\"content\">` instead of `<main class=\"content\">`\r\n2. **docs/assets/style.css** — Replaced with beta site CSS:\r\n   - CSS custom properties for light/dark theming\r\n   - `prefers-color-scheme` media query + manual `[data-theme]` override\r\n   - Fixed sidebar navigation (position:fixed, full height)\r\n   - Sticky topbar with search and theme toggle\r\n   - Responsive: sidebar slides in/out on mobile (translateX transform)\r\n   - Print styles hide sidebar and topbar\r\n3. **docs/assets/script.js** — New file (replaces app.js):\r\n   - Theme persistence via localStorage (`squad-theme` key)\r\n   - `toggleTheme()`: cycles auto → dark → light → auto\r\n   - `updateThemeBtn()`: emoji indicator (☀️/🌙/💻)\r\n   - `toggleSidebar()`: mobile sidebar open/close\r\n   - Client-side search: filters `searchIndex` array, renders dropdown results\r\n4. **docs/assets/app.js** — Deleted (superseded by script.js)\r\n5. **docs/assets/squad-logo.png** — Downloaded from beta repo (bradygaster/squad)\r\n6. **docs/build.js** — Updated nav generation + search index:\r\n   - `buildNavHtml()`: generates `<nav class=\"sidebar\" id=\"sidebar\">` with logo header, close button, Home link, and `<details class=\"nav-section\" open>` groups\r\n   - `buildSearchIndex()`: generates JSON array of `{title, href, preview}` for each page\r\n   - Build injects search index via `{{SEARCH_INDEX}}` placeholder\r\n7. **test/docs-build.test.ts** — Updated 2 tests for new template:\r\n   - `app.js` → `script.js` in asset check\r\n   - `<main>` → `<article>` in content area check\r\n**Build:** All 14 pages generate without errors.\r\n**Tests:** 30/30 passing.\r\n**Credits:** UI design ported from beta site. Hat tip to @spboyer (Shayne Boyer) for the original beta docs CSS/JS patterns.\r\n**Tone applied:** Surgical port — matched beta site exactly per Brady's request, no creative additions.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-22: Beta docs download and docs restructure\r\n**Status:** Complete.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **New directory structure:** Created `docs/scenarios/`, `docs/features/`, `docs/cli/`, `docs/sdk/`\r\n2. **Downloaded 21 scenario docs** from bradygaster/squad beta repo to `docs/scenarios/`\r\n3. **Downloaded 23 feature docs** from beta repo to `docs/features/` (includes worktrees.md)\r\n4. **Downloaded 5 top-level guides** from beta repo to `docs/guide/`: first-session.md, github-issues-tour.md, tips-and-tricks.md, sample-prompts.md, whatsnew.md\r\n5. **Restructured existing docs into CLI and SDK sections:**\r\n   - `docs/cli/`: shell.md, installation.md (from cli-install.md), vscode.md (from vscode-integration.md)\r\n   - `docs/sdk/`: api-reference.md (from sdk-api-reference.md), integration.md (from sdk-integration.md), tools-and-hooks.md\r\n6. **Moved feature docs out of guide/:** upstream-inheritance.md → features/, marketplace.md → features/\r\n7. **Removed architecture.md** from guide/ (internal implementation details)\r\n8. **Kept in guide/:** index.md, installation.md, configuration.md, migration.md, feature-migration.md (user-facing)\r\n9. **Tone pass on all 62 pages:**\r\n   - Removed \"⚠️ INTERNAL ONLY\" banners from downloaded and existing docs\r\n   - Updated `npx github:bradygaster/squad` → `squad` (v1 npm command)\r\n   - Updated `https://github.com/bradygaster/squad` → `https://github.com/bradygaster/squad-pr`\r\n10. **Updated `test/docs-build.test.ts`** to reflect new multi-directory structure:\r\n    - EXPECTED_GUIDES now lists 10 guide/ files (was 14)\r\n    - Added EXPECTED_CLI (3 files) and EXPECTED_SDK (3 files) lists\r\n    - Updated readHtml helper to support subdirectory paths\r\n    - Updated all nav link assertions for relative path format (../guide/, ../cli/)\r\n**Build:** 62 pages generated without errors.\r\n**Tests:** 2232/2232 passing (85 test files).\r\n**Credits:** Scenario, feature, and tour docs originally authored in beta by @spboyer and team.\r\n**Tone applied:** Light, prompt-first (beta tone preserved). No hype, no internal markers, CLI commands updated for v1 distribution.\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- docs/build.js already supported multi-directory sections — no build script changes needed\r\n- docs/launch/ left untouched (internal release notes, separate concern)\r\n- migration-github-to-npm.md at root left as-is (separate migration doc, not part of restructure)\r\n\r\n### 2026-03-XX: Issue #421 — CLI help leads with default behavior\r\n**Status:** Complete. PR #438 created.\r\n**Changes made:**\r\n1. **packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts** — Restructured help output (lines 68–115):\r\n   - Before: Listed commands first, with \"(default)\" as an entry\r\n   - After: Opens with headline \"Just type — squad routes your message to the right agent automatically\"\r\n   - Added two quick examples: `squad` and `squad --global` before the full command list\r\n   - Moved from command-focused to usage-focused messaging\r\n**Tone applied:** \r\n- **Clear:** Lead with the main use case (natural language routing) before listing commands\r\n- **Inviting:** \"Just type\" phrasing makes entry feel effortless\r\n- **Grounded:** All examples are real and verified (no hype)\r\n**Build:** TypeScript compilation succeeded. CLI help output now prioritizes user experience over exhaustive command listing.\r\n**Notes:**\r\n- Change is message-only; no API or behavior changes\r\n- Help text is the first thing users see when confused — leading with primary use case reduces friction\r\n- Examples placed before full Usage section so users understand the concept before diving into options\r\n**PR:** https://github.com/bradygaster/squad-pr/pull/438\r\n"

Verdict: CONDITIONAL PASS. Key findings: (1) NO_COLOR env var not respected in terminal.ts or output.ts — ANSI codes emitted unconditionally; (2) Tab autocomplete module exists (autocomplete.ts) but is not wired into InputPrompt.tsx; (3) Three error messages lack remediation hints (missing team.md, charter not found, SDK not connected); (4) Welcome banner shows keyboard shortcuts but /help command does not repeat them. Color-as-meaning is partially mitigated by emoji + text labels. Report filed to .squad/decisions/inbox/nate-accessibility-audit.md.\r\n- **2025-07-18 — Accessibility Hardening (#339):** Implemented full NO_COLOR compliance across all shell components. Added `isNoColor()` to terminal.ts; updated AgentPanel (static dot + `[Active]`/`[Error]` text labels), ThinkingIndicator (static `...` + `⏳` prefix, no color cycling), InputPrompt (static `[working...]`, bold cursor), MessageStream (color-gated labels), App (color-gated border). All animations degrade to static alternatives. Focus indicators use bold for monochrome visibility. Created `docs/accessibility.md` with keyboard shortcuts table, NO_COLOR behavior matrix, color contrast guidelines, and error message requirements. Build passes, 55/59 tests pass (4 pre-existing failures unrelated to this change).\r\n- **2025-07-18 — Honest Quality Audit (Brady review):** Full re-audit of all shell components. Grade: **C+**. NO_COLOR foundation is solid but docs have multiple inaccuracies vs. code. See detailed findings below.\r\n- **2025-07-19 — A11y Fixes and Test Coverage (#369, #370, #374, #375):** Shipped PR #382 on branch `squad/369-a11y-fixes-and-tests`. (1) **Tab autocomplete wired** — imported `createCompleter` into InputPrompt.tsx, added `agentNames` prop, wired `key.tab` in useInput for @agent and /command completion. Single match auto-fills. (2) **Fixed 6 doc inaccuracies** in docs/accessibility.md: ThinkingIndicator NO_COLOR (no ⏳ prefix), /status and /clear descriptions, unknown command error format, SDK error missing emoji, screen reader prefix (❯ not ❯ you:). Added Tab to shortcuts table. (3) **NO_COLOR test suite** — 10 tests covering ThinkingIndicator (static dots, text labels), AgentPanel ([Active]/[Error] labels, static dot), InputPrompt ([working...], cursor), MessageStream (all message types). (4) **Keyboard shortcut tests** — 9 tests covering Enter, ↑, ↓, Backspace, Tab completion (@agent + /command + no-match + multi-match), disabled state. Filed issues #374 and #375. All 19 new tests pass. 4 pre-existing AgentPanel failures remain (not ours). Grade upgrade: **B+** — docs now honest, Tab works, test coverage real.\r\n"

Both SDK and CLI workflows properly configured for npm. Kobayashi aligned all versions to 0.8.0. Coordinator published @bradygaster/squad-sdk@0.8.0 and @bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.0 to npm registry. Distribution infrastructure production-ready. Release workflows validated end-to-end.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Fix (2026-02-22): npx bin resolution — squad-cli 0.8.1 published\r\nRoot cause: `npx @bradygaster/squad-cli` resolves the bin by unscoped package name (`squad-cli`), but the only bin entry was named `squad`. This caused npx to fall back to running the package as a script, which hit the orphaned placeholder `dist/cli.js` (\"squad-cli placeholder — full CLI coming soon\").\r\nFix: Added `\"squad-cli\": \"./dist/cli-entry.js\"` as a second bin entry alongside the existing `squad` entry. Replaced the placeholder `dist/cli.js` with a redirect to `cli-entry.js`. Bumped version to 0.8.1 (can't overwrite 0.8.0). Published and verified: `npx @bradygaster/squad-cli@0.8.1 --version` → `squad 0.8.0` (VERSION from SDK, correct).\r\n\r\n### 📌 Assessment (2026-02-22): npm distribution status audit complete\r\n**Published versions:** squad-sdk@0.8.0 (6 versions total), squad-cli@0.8.1 (7 versions total) on npm registry.\r\n**Package contents:** SDK exports 26 public entry points (main, parsers, types, config, skills, agents, adapter, client, coordinator, hooks, tools, runtime + streaming/event-bus/benchmarks/i18n/telemetry/offline/cost-tracker, marketplace, build, sharing, ralph, casting, resolution). Files: dist + README. CLI exports 14 public entry points (main, upgrade, copilot-install, shell/*, core/*, commands/*). Files: dist, templates, README. Both have `prepublishOnly` scripts enforcing build before publish.\r\n**Install paths:** (1) npm: `npm install -g @bradygaster/squad-cli` + `npx squad init` works correctly; squad-cli@0.8.1 has both bin entries (squad, squad-cli). (2) GitHub-native (npx github:bradygaster/squad) referenced in README as legacy/alternative path but npm is now recommended. Root package.json version is 0.6.0-alpha.0 (private workspace marker, not published).\r\n**Publish workflows:** Both squad-publish.yml (on tags) and squad-insider-publish.yml (on insider branch) correctly configured — build → test → publish with public access. No missing steps or auth issues.\r\n**Distribution gaps:** None. Distribution infrastructure production-ready. Version skew is intentional: SDK 0.8.0, CLI 0.8.1 (CLI had minor bin entry fix). README accurately reflects npm as primary install method.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Team update (2026-02-22T070156Z): npx bin resolution fix merged to decisions, npm distribution fully operational — decided by Rabin\r\n- **npx bin resolution decision:** Fixed `npx @bradygaster/squad-cli` by adding second bin entry `\"squad-cli\": \"./dist/cli-entry.js\"` alongside existing `\"squad\"` entry. npx resolves by unscoped package name, not custom bin names.\r\n- **Version bump to 0.8.1:** 0.8.0 immutable on npm; bin fix required patch release.\r\n- **Both bin entries active:** `squad` works for global installs, `squad-cli` works for npx resolution. Future releases must maintain both.\r\n- **Distribution status:** Both packages published and verified on npm. SDK@0.8.0, CLI@0.8.1 (intentional skew). Install paths working correctly.\r\n- **Decision merged to decisions.md.** Status: npm distribution production-ready, all package metadata and bin entries validated.\r\n\r\n### 📌 Manual publish (2026-02-22): CI publish broken, manual publish to 0.8.2 successful\r\n- **Root cause:** CI publish workflow failed due to pre-existing test job configuration issue (test job doesn't build first, causing test failures).\r\n- **Workaround:** Manual publish required. Logged into npm interactively, published squad-sdk@0.8.2 first (prepublishOnly hook ran build), then squad-cli@0.8.2 (CLI depends on SDK).\r\n- **Verification:** Both packages confirmed published at 0.8.2 via `npm view`.\r\n- **CI fix needed:** Test job in CI workflow needs to run build step before tests to prevent future publish failures.\r\n"

Switched to `exporter-trace-otlp-grpc` / `exporter-metrics-otlp-grpc`.\r\n  2. **Wrong endpoint in `squad aspire`** — `ASPIRE_OTLP_ENDPOINT` was `http://localhost:18888` (the dashboard UI port). Fixed to `http://localhost:4317` (host-mapped gRPC port).\r\n  3. **OTLP auth mode was `ApiKey`** — Docker command set `DASHBOARD__OTLP__AUTHMODE=ApiKey` but SDK sent no API key header. Changed to `Unsecured` for local dev.\r\n  4. **Docs used stale env var** — `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_UNSECURED_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS=true` replaced with `DASHBOARD__FRONTEND__AUTHMODE=Unsecured`.\r\n  5. Added \"Quick Debug Checklist\" to `docs/scenarios/aspire-dashboard.md` for future troubleshooting.\r\n  - gRPC packages (`@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-grpc`, `@grpc/grpc-js`) were already in node_modules transitively via `@opentelemetry/sdk-node`.\r\n  - All 84 OTel/Aspire tests pass after fix.\r\n- **OTEL pipeline silent failure diagnosis (2026-02-XX):** Brady reported \"telemetry pump not working\" — REPL printed telemetry-active message but nothing appeared in Aspire.\r\n  - **Root cause:** Aspire container started without `DASHBOARD__OTLP__AUTHMODE=Unsecured`, gRPC exporter got `16 UNAUTHENTICATED (HTTP 401)` on every export attempt. Error was completely invisible — swallowed by OTel's internal error handling.\r\n  - **Fix 1:** `ensureSDK()` in `otel.ts` now auto-enables OTel `DiagConsoleLogger` at WARN level when `SQUAD_DEBUG=1` is set. This surfaces gRPC transport errors (401, ECONNREFUSED, etc.) to stderr. When `debug: true` is passed explicitly, full DEBUG level is enabled.\r\n  - **Fix 2:** `ensureSDK()` now resets `_sdk = undefined` if `start()` throws, preventing the \"initialized but broken\" state where the SDK thinks it's running but providers were never registered.\r\n  - **Fix 3:** `shutdownOTel()` catches and logs shutdown/flush errors when `SQUAD_DEBUG=1` instead of propagating them to callers. Previously, a flush error (e.g. 401) would throw from `shutdownOTel()` potentially breaking cleanup chains.\r\n  - **Fix 4:** Added `test/otel-export.test.ts` — 5 tests validating the SDK's internal span pipeline with in-memory exporter (span capture, multi-span, multi-tracer, error recording, clean shutdown).\r\n  - **Key diagnostic technique:** Standalone `tmp-otel-diag.mjs` script creating a single span + flush immediately revealed the 401. This should be the first step whenever \"telemetry not appearing\" is reported.\r\n  - Code review of `client.ts` span instrumentation: all spans properly `.end()`'d in `finally` blocks; tracer proxy pattern works correctly (module-level `trace.getTracer()` delegates to whatever provider is registered later by `NodeSDK.start()`).\r\n  - 2424 tests passing across 89 files after fix.\r\n- **Dual-mode OTel telemetry (Issue #343, PR #352):**\r\n  - Added `mode` field to `OTelConfig` — written as `squad.mode` resource attribute in `buildResource()`\r\n  - Created `initAgentModeTelemetry()` convenience in `otel-init.ts` — pre-sets `serviceName: 'squad-copilot-agent'` and `mode: 'copilot-agent'`\r\n  - `runShell()` now passes `mode: 'cli'` to `initSquadTelemetry`, so CLI spans are tagged\r\n  - Exported `initAgentModeTelemetry` from SDK barrel (`index.ts`)\r\n  - Added 3 tests in `test/otel-export.test.ts`: mode attribute on spans, dual-mode distinguishability, handle validity\r\n  - No dedicated Copilot agent-mode entry point exists yet — `initAgentModeTelemetry()` is ready for when it's created\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n📌 Team update (2026-02-23T09:25Z): OTel gRPC protocol fix completed, Aspire dashboard working. Streaming diagnostics infrastructure finished by Kovash (SQUAD_DEBUG logging), 13 regression tests added by Hockney. Version bump to 0.8.5.1. — decided by Scribe\r\n"

CLI degrades gracefully at small sizes.\r\n- Missing config: All 5 pass. CLI works without .squad/ directory for non-interactive commands.\r\n- Invalid input: All 5 pass. Control chars, 10KB+ args, empty/whitespace args handled.\r\n- Corrupt config: All 5 pass. Empty .squad/, empty team.md, invalid content, .squad-as-file all survive.\r\n- Non-TTY pipe mode: All 4 pass. Version/help/status/error all work piped.\r\n- UTF-8 edge cases: All 5 pass. Emoji, CJK, RTL, zero-width, mixed scripts all handled.\r\n- Rapid input: All 3 pass. 5 concurrent, alternating, and parallel commands all stable.\r\n\r\n**Bugs found:**\r\n1. **BUG: `--version` output omits \"squad\" prefix.** `cli-entry.ts:48` says `console.log(\\`squad ${VERSION}\\`)` but actual output is bare `0.8.5.1`. The existing `version.feature` test also fails on this. Likely the VERSION import returns the number directly and `console.log` produces different output than expected, OR the build artifact differs.\r\n2. **BUG: Empty/whitespace CLI args trigger interactive shell launch in non-TTY.** When `args[0]` is `\"\"` or `\"   \"`, `cmd` is falsy, so `runShell()` is called. In non-TTY mode, Ink renders and exits with code 1. Should detect non-TTY and show help or error instead.\r\n3. **Observation: Node.js rejects null bytes in spawn args** (`ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE`). This is Node-level, not a Squad bug, but the CLI should sanitize or reject args containing null bytes before they reach spawn.\r\n\r\n**Key patterns:**\r\n- Acceptance test step registration order matters — greedy regex `I run \"(.+)\"` in cli-steps matches before more-specific hostile patterns. Register specific patterns first.\r\n- The nasty-inputs corpus at `test/acceptance/fixtures/nasty-inputs.ts` has 80+ adversarial strings for fuzz testing.\r\n- Corrupt .squad/ configurations are handled gracefully — no crashes or unhandled exceptions observed.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Hostile QA — End-to-End Quality Assessment (Brady's request)\r\n**Scope:** Honest, candid quality review of CLI entry point, shell, commands, error handling, streaming, and test coverage.\r\n\r\n#### VERDICT: The happy path is solid. Everything else is held together with string and hope.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 1. DEAD TEST CORPUS — SEVERITY: HIGH\r\n\r\nThe nasty-inputs corpus at `test/acceptance/fixtures/nasty-inputs.ts` (95 adversarial strings) is **never imported by any test file**. Zero consumers. The hostile acceptance tests in `test/acceptance/hostile.test.ts` run Gherkin `.feature` files via a step registry—they use `hostile-steps.js`, not the corpus. The 80+ fuzz strings I wrote are sitting in a drawer, collecting dust. Nobody runs them against the shell input path.\r\n\r\n**Impact:** We have zero automated fuzz coverage against the interactive shell's `parseInput()` or `InputPrompt.onSubmit()`. We claim adversarial testing. We don't have it where it counts.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 2. NO REACT ERROR BOUNDARY — SEVERITY: HIGH\r\n\r\nThere is **no ErrorBoundary component** anywhere in the Ink shell. Zero hits for `componentDidCatch`, `getDerivedStateFromError`, or `ErrorBoundary` in the entire `packages/squad-cli/src/` tree.\r\n\r\nIf any React component throws during render (bad agent name in `AgentPanel`, malformed streaming content in `MessageStream`, a null deref from a race condition), **the entire Ink process crashes with an unhandled React error**. No recovery. No friendly message. Just a stack trace.\r\n\r\nIn a 20-minute session, the probability of hitting a render error approaches 1 if the user is doing anything interesting (multi-agent, concurrent routing, rapid input).\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 3. SDK CONNECTION DROP MID-STREAM — SEVERITY: HIGH\r\n\r\nHere's the scenario: User sends a message → `dispatchToAgent` fires → `awaitStreamedResponse` calls `session.sendAndWait()` with a **10-minute timeout** (`TIMEOUTS.SESSION_RESPONSE_MS = 600000`).\r\n\r\nIf the SDK connection drops mid-stream:\r\n- `sendAndWait` will throw. Good — it's caught by `handleDispatch`.\r\n- But the `accumulated` buffer and `onDelta` listener are left in a half-state.\r\n- The `finally` block in `dispatchToAgent` (line 291) cleans up the listener, but `streamBuffers` in the outer scope is never flushed.\r\n- The `session` object in `agentSessions` Map is now dead. **The next message to that agent will reuse the dead session** (line 228: `let session = agentSessions.get(agentName)`). It will fail again. And again. Forever.\r\n\r\n**There is no session invalidation on error.** The dead session stays in the Map. The user has to restart the CLI.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 4. GHOST RESPONSE RETRY MASKS REAL FAILURES — SEVERITY: MEDIUM\r\n\r\n`withGhostRetry` retries 3 times with 1s/2s/4s backoff when `sendFn` returns empty. Problem: if the SDK connection is dead, each retry creates a new `awaitStreamedResponse` call on the same dead session, waits up to 10 minutes, gets nothing, retries. That's potentially **30+ minutes of silent hanging** before the user sees \"Agent did not respond.\"\r\n\r\nThe retry mechanism conflates \"ghost response\" (SDK race condition) with \"connection dead\" (infrastructure failure). They need different handling.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 5. CONCURRENT AGENT DISPATCH — SEVERITY: MEDIUM\r\n\r\nWhen the coordinator returns `MULTI:` routing, `dispatchToCoordinator` fires `Promise.allSettled` on multiple `dispatchToAgent` calls (line 370). Each agent dispatch:\r\n- Sets `shellApi?.setStreamingContent()` — **there's only one streaming content slot**.\r\n- Sets `shellApi?.setActivityHint()` — **there's only one hint slot**.\r\n\r\nTwo agents streaming simultaneously will clobber each other's display content. The `streamBuffers` Map in `runShell` handles per-agent accumulation correctly, but the React state in `App.tsx` has a single `streamingContent` useState. Last writer wins. The user sees a jumbled mess of interleaved partial responses.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 6. `processing` LOCK IS A LIE — SEVERITY: MEDIUM\r\n\r\n`InputPrompt` is disabled when `processing=true` (App.tsx:139). But `useInput` in Ink **still receives keystrokes**. The guard `if (disabled) return` at InputPrompt.tsx:36 means keystrokes are **silently dropped**. If the user types during processing, their input vanishes. No buffer, no queue, no \"I'll handle that next.\" Just gone.\r\n\r\nThis is a UX time bomb. Users WILL type ahead. Their messages WILL disappear.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 7. NO SIGINT/SIGTERM HANDLER IN SHELL — SEVERITY: MEDIUM\r\n\r\nThe shell uses Ink's `exitOnCtrlC: false` and manually handles Ctrl+C via `useInput` (App.tsx:91-94). But:\r\n- There is **no `process.on('SIGTERM')` handler** in the shell. Only `aspire.ts` and `watch.ts` register signal handlers.\r\n- If the process receives SIGTERM (e.g., Docker stop, CI timeout), the cleanup block at index.ts:420-432 never runs. Sessions leak. The SDK client is abandoned mid-stream.\r\n- The Ink `exit()` call on Ctrl+C triggers `waitUntilExit()` to resolve, which then runs cleanup. But SIGTERM bypasses Ink entirely.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 8. MemoryManager IS DEAD CODE — SEVERITY: LOW\r\n\r\n`MemoryManager` is exported from `index.ts` (line 38) but **never instantiated or used** in `runShell()` or any component. The `messages` array in `App.tsx` grows unbounded. The `streamBuffers` Map in `runShell` grows unbounded. In a 20-minute multi-agent session, memory grows linearly with no ceiling.\r\n\r\n`DEFAULT_LIMITS.maxMessages = 1000` and `maxStreamBuffer = 1MB` are defined but completely dead. Nobody calls `trimMessages()` or `trackBuffer()`.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 9. COORDINATOR RESPONSE PARSING IS FRAGILE — SEVERITY: LOW\r\n\r\n`parseCoordinatorResponse` in `coordinator.ts` does literal `startsWith('ROUTE:')` / `startsWith('MULTI:')` / `startsWith('DIRECT:')` matching. If the LLM response has a single leading newline, space, or markdown fence (```), all parsing fails and falls through to the \"treat as direct answer\" fallback. The entire routing system is one whitespace character away from never routing anything.\r\n\r\nThe `trimmed` variable handles leading/trailing whitespace, but not markdown code fences, preamble text (\"Sure, I'll route that...\"), or any non-exact format match.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### 10. `.env` PARSING IN CLI-ENTRY IS NAIVE — SEVERITY: LOW\r\n\r\nThe `.env` parser at cli-entry.ts:17-27 doesn't handle:\r\n- Quoted values: `KEY=\"value with spaces\"` → value includes the quotes\r\n- Multi-line values\r\n- Export prefix: `export KEY=value` → key becomes `export KEY`\r\n\r\nIt's a 10-line hand-rolled parser instead of `dotenv`. Won't crash, but will silently produce wrong values.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### SUMMARY TABLE\r\n\r\n| # | Issue | Severity | Will Break In Production? |\r\n|---|-------|----------|--------------------------|\r\n| 1 | Nasty-inputs corpus never imported | HIGH | No coverage when it matters |\r\n| 2 | No React ErrorBoundary | HIGH | Yes — any render throw kills the shell |\r\n| 3 | Dead sessions never evicted from Map | HIGH | Yes — connection drop permanently bricks an agent |\r\n| 4 | Ghost retry masks connection failures | MEDIUM | Yes — 30-min silent hang |\r\n| 5 | Single streaming content slot for multi-agent | MEDIUM | Yes — garbled concurrent output |\r\n| 6 | Input silently dropped during processing | MEDIUM | Yes — user input lost |\r\n| 7 | No SIGTERM handler in shell | MEDIUM | Yes — dirty exit in containers |\r\n| 8 | MemoryManager is dead code | LOW | Slow leak over long sessions |\r\n| 9 | Coordinator parsing is fragile | LOW | Routing silently fails to direct answer |\r\n| 10 | .env parser is naive | LOW | Wrong env values with quoted strings |\r\n\r\n#### WHAT WILL ACTUALLY BREAK IN A 20-MINUTE SESSION\r\n\r\n1. User talks to 2+ agents → one SDK hiccup → that agent is permanently dead until restart.\r\n2. User types while agent is responding → keystrokes vanish.\r\n3. Multi-agent routing → garbled interleaved output.\r\n4. Any unexpected null/undefined in agent data → React crash, no recovery.\r\n\r\n#### WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD\r\n\r\n- `main().catch()` in cli-entry.ts is a proper global error boundary for the non-interactive path.\r\n- `handleDispatch` try/catch with friendly error messages is well done.\r\n- Ghost retry concept is sound — just needs connection-aware short-circuiting.\r\n- Cleanup block in `runShell` is comprehensive (sessions, coordinator, client, lifecycle, telemetry).\r\n- The hostile acceptance tests that DO run (Gherkin features) cover real scenarios well.\r\n\r\n#### RECOMMENDATIONS (ordered by impact)\r\n\r\n1. **Add `agentSessions.delete(agentName)` in `dispatchToAgent`'s catch path.** One line fix. Prevents permanent agent death.\r\n2. **Add a React ErrorBoundary component** wrapping `<App>`. Shows \"Something went wrong, press Enter to continue\" instead of crashing.\r\n3. **Wire up the nasty-inputs corpus** to actual test cases against `parseInput()` and `handleSubmit()`.\r\n4. **Add SIGTERM handler** in `runShell()` that calls `exit()` on the Ink instance.\r\n5. **Buffer user input during processing** instead of dropping it.\r\n6. **Support per-agent streaming content** in App state (Map instead of single slot).\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-23: Hostile Test Coverage Sprint — Issues #376, #377, #378 → PR #380\r\n\r\n**Filed 3 GitHub issues and built all the tests. Tonight was the night.**\r\n\r\n#### Issues Filed\r\n- **#376** — Wire nasty-inputs corpus into actual test execution\r\n- **#377** — SDK failure scenario tests\r\n- **#378** — Stress and boundary tests\r\n\r\n#### Tests Built (62 tests, 3 files, all passing)\r\n\r\n**test/hostile-integration.test.ts** (16 tests)\r\n- Wired the 67-string nasty-inputs corpus (previously ZERO consumers) into parseInput(), executeCommand(), and MessageStream rendering\r\n- Every hostile string — control chars, ANSI escapes, injection attempts, 100KB strings, unicode ZWJ, RTL, CJK — run through all three paths\r\n- Full pipeline chain: parse → execute for slash-command-shaped hostile input\r\n- Corpus count sanity check to catch silent truncation\r\n\r\n**test/sdk-failure-scenarios.test.ts** (21 tests)\r\n- Ghost response: sendAndWait returns undefined/null → empty content, no crash\r\n- SDK throws: Error, TypeError, string, partial-stream-then-throw → error captured, partial content preserved\r\n- Timeout: sendAndWait hangs → times out cleanly with partial content preserved\r\n- Error events: session emits error mid-stream → no unhandled exception, content preserved\r\n- Malformed data: number/object/null/undefined deltas → filtered out, no crash\r\n- Coordinator parsing: garbage routing input → no throw, falls through gracefully\r\n- Session recovery: error → remove → re-register cycle works\r\n\r\n**test/stress.test.ts** (25 tests)\r\n- MessageStream: 500 and 1000 messages rendered without crash; maxVisible prop enforced\r\n- Rapid input: 1000 parseInput calls, alternating command types\r\n- Long strings: 10KB, 100KB, 1MB through parseInput; 10KB through executeCommand and MessageStream; 10000-line input\r\n- Concurrent: 5 parallel dispatches with content isolation verification (no cross-contamination)\r\n- Sequential: 10 rapid dispatches, each producing correct unique output\r\n- MemoryManager: trimMessages caps, trackBuffer enforces, clearBuffer resets, canCreateSession limits\r\n- SessionRegistry: 100 agents, 1000 status transitions, rapid activity hint updates\r\n\r\n#### Key Findings During Testing\r\n- Corpus has 67 strings, not 95 as previously stated (some entries were consolidated)\r\n- All parseInput/executeCommand paths handle hostile input without throwing — the parser is actually robust\r\n- MessageStream rendering of 67 hostile strings takes ~2.5s (Ink render overhead per unmount)\r\n- Concurrent dispatch isolation is clean — per-session listener maps prevent cross-contamination\r\n- MemoryManager works correctly but remains dead code in production (nobody calls it)\r\n\r\n#### Branch & PR\r\n- Branch: `squad/hostile-test-coverage`\r\n- PR: #380\r\n- Commit: `test: hostile input, SDK failure, and stress tests (closes #376, closes #377, closes #378)`\r\n\r\n### 2025-07-25: Speed Gates — The Impatient User's Journey\r\n\r\n**Mission:** Walk the user journey from `squad --help` through first agent response. File issues for every wasted second. Build speed gate tests to enforce time budgets.\r\n\r\n**Issues Filed (6):**\r\n1. **#387** — `squad init` ceremony wastes 2+ seconds on typewriter animations\r\n2. **#395** — `squad --help` is 50 lines — impatient user drowns in a wall of text\r\n3. **#397** — First message after shell launch hits cold SDK connection — 5-10s dead air\r\n4. **#399** — Welcome banner typewriter blocks UI render for 500ms\r\n5. **#401** — Typed input silently dropped during agent processing — user retypes everything\r\n6. **#403** — Stub commands (triage/loop/hire) print fake progress then exit — deceptive\r\n\r\n**Speed Gate Tests Created:** `test/speed-gates.test.ts` — 18 tests enforcing time budgets:\r\n- Help output: < 5s, < 55 lines, scannable first 5 lines, shows init/default prominently\r\n- Init ceremony: non-TTY skips animations, completes < 3s\r\n- Welcome data: loads < 50ms (valid dir), < 10ms (missing dir)\r\n- Input parsing: @agent, coordinator, and slash commands all < 1ms per parse (averaged over 100 iterations)\r\n- Ghost retry: bounded to < 2s with short backoff, returns immediately on success, correct retry count\r\n- Error states: includes remediation hints, completes < 3s\r\n- Version: completes < 3s, exactly 1 line\r\n\r\n**Key Findings:**\r\n- The codebase has already evolved since my last audit: `loop` and `hire` stubs were removed, `triage` now delegates to real `runWatch` implementation\r\n- Non-TTY mode (CI, pipes) properly skips all animations — `isInitNoColor()` works correctly\r\n- Input parsing is blazing fast (sub-millisecond) — no speed concern there\r\n- Welcome data loading is I/O bound but fast (~1ms for file reads)\r\n- The real speed killers are: (a) cold SDK connection on first message, (b) typewriter animations in TTY, (c) 500ms banner animation blocking full UI render\r\n- Node.js startup overhead (~1.2s) is the floor for any subprocess-spawned test; adjusted thresholds accordingly\r\n\r\n**What I Fixed:** Nothing in production code this round — all issues are filed with specific line references and fixes. The speed gate tests are the deliverable: they prove where the time goes and will catch regressions.\r\n\r\n### 2026-02-24: Product Love Sprint — First 30 Seconds Hostile QA\r\n\r\n**Mission:** Test first-time user journey from `squad --help` to first interaction. File issues for every moment that makes users bail in the first 30 seconds.\r\n\r\n**Issues Filed (5):**\r\n1. **#417 (P1)** — Root cli.js is stale — runs init instead of shell when called with no args\r\n2. **#424 (P1)** — Help wall of text (44 lines, 16 commands) drowns impatient users\r\n3. **#427 (P1)** — Shell launch has 2-4 seconds of dead air with no loading indicator\r\n4. **#429 (P2)** — Version format inconsistent between cli.js (v0.6.0) and cli-entry.js (v0.8.5.1)\r\n5. **#431 (P2)** — Empty/whitespace args show help instead of error (edge case, current behavior is defensible)\r\n\r\n**Test Coverage:**\r\n- Root `cli.js` vs proper `packages/squad-cli/dist/cli-entry.js` behavior divergence\r\n- Help command: measured 44 lines, 1331ms render time (Node.js startup overhead)\r\n- Version command: bare number output (correct per CLI conventions)\r\n- Invalid command: friendly error with exit code 1 and remediation hint\r\n- Empty/whitespace args: shows abbreviated help (defensive behavior)\r\n- Status with no .squad directory: graceful \"none\" with hint to run init\r\n- Unicode handling: piped input with emoji/CJK/Hebrew works correctly\r\n\r\n**Key Findings:**\r\n- **Stale root bundle is the biggest footgun** — cli.js is v0.6.0-alpha.0, proper entry is v0.8.5.1\r\n- The first 30 seconds are the critical window: help → init → shell → first message\r\n- Dead air during shell launch (2-4s) creates \"is this working?\" anxiety\r\n- Help output respects user's time poorly — 44 lines to find 2 essential commands\r\n- Error messages are good — friendly, include remediation hints, proper exit codes\r\n- Edge case handling (empty args, unicode) is solid\r\n- The proper entry point (`packages/squad-cli/dist/cli-entry.js`) works well — root bundle is the problem\r\n\r\n**Known Open Issues (confirmed still exist):**\r\n- #387 — Init typewriter animations waste 2+ seconds\r\n- #395 — Help is overwhelming (now filed as #424 with exact line count)\r\n- #397 — Cold SDK connection causes 5-10s dead air on first message\r\n- #399 — Welcome banner typewriter blocks UI for 500ms\r\n- #401 — Input dropped during processing\r\n- #403 — Stub commands show fake progress (possibly fixed per prior notes)\r\n\r\n**What I Didn't Test (out of scope for first 30 seconds):**\r\n- Actual agent interaction (requires SDK connection, long-running)\r\n- Multi-agent concurrent dispatch\r\n- Memory leaks over 20-minute sessions\r\n- Race conditions with rapid input\r\n- SIGTERM handling\r\n- React ErrorBoundary render failures\r\n\r\n**Verdict:** The first 30 seconds have 3 P1 blockers (#417, #424, #427) that create bailout risk. Fix the stale root bundle, add loading feedback, and tier the help output.\r\n"

Cheaper to change a doc than refactor code. Use this pattern when:\r\n- Architecture shifts invalidate existing assumptions\r\n- Product direction changes require new foundation\r\n- Multiple waves/milestones will be affected by a decision\r\n- External dependencies (Copilot CLI, SDK APIs) change\r\n\r\n## Patterns\r\n\r\n### Proposal Structure (docs/proposals/)\r\n\r\n**Required sections:**\r\n1. **Problem Statement** — Why current state is broken (specific, measurable evidence)\r\n2. **Proposed Architecture** — Solution with technical specifics (not hand-waving)\r\n3. **What Changes** — Impact on existing work (waves, milestones, modules)\r\n4. **What Stays the Same** — Preserve existing functionality (no regression)\r\n5. **Key Decisions Needed** — Explicit choices with recommendations\r\n6. **Risks and Mitigations** — Likelihood + impact + mitigation strategy\r\n7. **Scope** — What's in v1, what's deferred (timeline clarity)\r\n\r\n**Optional sections:**\r\n- Implementation Plan (high-level milestones)\r\n- Success Criteria (measurable outcomes)\r\n- Open Questions (unresolved items)\r\n- Appendix (prior art, alternatives considered)\r\n\r\n### Tone Ceiling Enforcement\r\n\r\n**Always:**\r\n- Cite specific evidence (user reports, performance data, failure modes)\r\n- Justify recommendations with technical rationale\r\n- Acknowledge trade-offs (no perfect solutions)\r\n- Be specific about APIs, libraries, file paths\r\n\r\n**Never:**\r\n- Hype (\"revolutionary\", \"game-changing\")\r\n- Hand-waving (\"we'll figure it out later\")\r\n- Unsubstantiated claims (\"users will love this\")\r\n- Vague timelines (\"soon\", \"eventually\")\r\n\r\n### Wave Restructuring Pattern\r\n\r\nWhen a proposal invalidates existing wave structure:\r\n1. **Acknowledge the shift:** \"This becomes Wave 0 (Foundation)\"\r\n2. **Cascade impacts:** Adjust downstream waves (Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3)\r\n3. **Preserve non-blocking work:** Identify what can proceed in parallel\r\n4. **Update dependencies:** Document new blocking relationships\r\n\r\n**Example (Interactive Shell):**\r\n- Wave 0 (NEW): Interactive Shell — blocks all other waves\r\n- Wave 1 (ADJUSTED): npm Distribution — shell bundled in cli.js\r\n- Wave 2 (DEFERRED): SquadUI — waits for shell foundation\r\n- Wave 3 (ADJUSTED): Public Docs — now documents shell as primary interface\r\n\r\n### Decision Framing\r\n\r\n**Format:** \"Recommendation: X (recommended) or alternatives?\"\r\n\r\n**Components:**\r\n- Recommendation (pick one, justify)\r\n- Alternatives (what else was considered)\r\n- Decision rationale (why recommended option wins)\r\n- Needs sign-off from (which agents/roles must approve)\r\n\r\n**Example:**\r\n```\r\n### 1. Terminal UI Library: `ink` (recommended) or alternatives?\r\n\r\n**Recommendation:** `ink`  \r\n**Alternatives:** `blessed`, raw readline  \r\n**Decision rationale:** Component model enables testable UI. Battle-tested ecosystem.\r\n\r\n**Needs sign-off from:** Brady (product direction), Fortier (runtime performance)\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Risk Documentation\r\n\r\n**Format per risk:**\r\n- **Risk:** Specific failure mode\r\n- **Likelihood:** Low / Medium / High (not percentages)\r\n- **Impact:** Low / Medium / High\r\n- **Mitigation:** Concrete actions (measurable)\r\n\r\n**Example:**\r\n```\r\n### Risk 2: SDK Streaming Reliability\r\n\r\n**Risk:** SDK streaming events might drop messages or arrive out of order.  \r\n**Likelihood:** Low (SDK is production-grade).  \r\n**Impact:** High — broken streaming makes shell unusable.\r\n\r\n**Mitigation:**\r\n- Add integration test: Send 1000-message stream, verify all deltas arrive in order\r\n- Implement fallback: If streaming fails, fall back to polling session state\r\n- Log all SDK events to `.squad/orchestration-log/sdk-events.jsonl` for debugging\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Examples\r\n\r\n**File references from interactive shell proposal:**\r\n- Full proposal: `docs/proposals/squad-interactive-shell.md`\r\n- User directive: `.squad/decisions/inbox/copilot-directive-2026-02-21T202535Z.md`\r\n- Team decisions: `.squad/decisions.md`\r\n- Current architecture: `docs/architecture/module-map.md`, `docs/prd-23-release-readiness.md`\r\n\r\n**Key patterns demonstrated:**\r\n1. Read user directive first (understand the \"why\")\r\n2. Survey current architecture (module map, existing waves)\r\n3. Research SDK APIs (exploration task to validate feasibility)\r\n4. Document problem with specific evidence (unreliable handoffs, zero visibility, UX mismatch)\r\n5. Propose solution with technical specifics (ink components, SDK session management, spawn.ts module)\r\n6. Restructure waves when foundation shifts (Wave 0 becomes blocker)\r\n7. Preserve backward compatibility (squad.agent.md still works, VS Code mode unchanged)\r\n8. Frame decisions explicitly (5 key decisions with recommendations)\r\n9. Document risks with mitigations (5 risks, each with concrete actions)\r\n10. Define scope (what's in v1 vs. deferred)\r\n\r\n## Anti-Patterns\r\n\r\n**Avoid:**\r\n- ❌ Proposals without problem statements (solution-first thinking)\r\n- ❌ Vague architecture (\"we'll use a shell\") — be specific (ink components, session registry, spawn.ts)\r\n- ❌ Ignoring existing work — always document impact on waves/milestones\r\n- ❌ No risk analysis — every architecture has risks, document them\r\n- ❌ Unbounded scope — draw the v1 line explicitly\r\n- ❌ Missing decision ownership — always say \"needs sign-off from X\"\r\n- ❌ No backward compatibility plan — users don't care about your replatform\r\n- ❌ Hand-waving timelines (\"a few weeks\") — be specific (2-3 weeks, 1 engineer full-time)\r\n\r\n**Red flags in proposal reviews:**\r\n- \"Users will love this\" (citation needed)\r\n- \"We'll figure out X later\" (scope creep incoming)\r\n- \"This is revolutionary\" (tone ceiling violation)\r\n- No section on \"What Stays the Same\" (regression risk)\r\n- No risks documented (wishful thinking)\r\n",
    "---\r\nname: \"squad-conventions\"\r\ndescription: \"Core conventions and patterns used in the Squad codebase\"\r\ndomain: \"project-conventions\"\r\nconfidence: \"high\"\r\nsource: \"manual\"\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Context\r\nThese conventions apply to all work on the Squad CLI tool (`create-squad`). Squad is a zero-dependency Node.js package that adds AI agent teams to any project. Understanding these patterns is essential before modifying any Squad source code.\r\n\r\n## Patterns\r\n\r\n### Zero Dependencies\r\nSquad has zero runtime dependencies. Everything uses Node.js built-ins (`fs`, `path`, `os`, `child_process`). Do not add packages to `dependencies` in `package.json`. This is a hard constraint, not a preference.\r\n\r\n### Node.js Built-in Test Runner\r\nTests use `node:test` and `node:assert/strict` — no test frameworks. Run with `npm test`. Test files live in `test/`. The test command is `node --test test/`.\r\n\r\n### Error Handling — `fatal()` Pattern\r\nAll user-facing errors use the `fatal(msg)` function which prints a red `✗` prefix and exits with code 1. Never throw unhandled exceptions or print raw stack traces. The global `uncaughtException` handler calls `fatal()` as a safety net.\r\n\r\n### ANSI Color Constants\r\nColors are defined as constants at the top of `index.js`: `GREEN`, `RED`, `DIM`, `BOLD`, `RESET`. Use these constants — do not inline ANSI escape codes.\r\n\r\n### File Structure\r\n- `.squad/` — Team state (user-owned, never overwritten by upgrades)\r\n- `.squad/templates/` — Template files copied from `templates/` (Squad-owned, overwritten on upgrade)\r\n- `.github/agents/squad.agent.md` — Coordinator prompt (Squad-owned, overwritten on upgrade)\r\n- `templates/` — Source templates shipped with the npm package\r\n- `.squad/skills/` — Team skills in SKILL.md format (user-owned)\r\n- `.squad/decisions/inbox/` — Drop-box for parallel decision writes\r\n\r\n### Windows Compatibility\r\nAlways use `path.join()` for file paths — never hardcode `/` or `\\` separators. Squad must work on Windows, macOS, and Linux. All tests must pass on all platforms.\r\n\r\n### Init Idempotency\r\nThe init flow uses a skip-if-exists pattern: if a file or directory already exists, skip it and report \"already exists.\" Never overwrite user state during init. The upgrade flow overwrites only Squad-owned files.\r\n\r\n### Copy Pattern\r\n`copyRecursive(src, target)` handles both files and directories. It creates parent directories with `{ recursive: true }` and uses `fs.copyFileSync` for files.\r\n\r\n## Examples\r\n\r\n```javascript\r\n// Error handling\r\nfunction fatal(msg) {\r\n  console.error(`${RED}✗${RESET} ${msg}`);\r\n  process.exit(1);\r\n}\r\n\r\n// File path construction (Windows-safe)\r\nconst agentDest = path.join(dest, '.github', 'agents', 'squad.agent.md');\r\n\r\n// Skip-if-exists pattern\r\nif (!fs.existsSync(ceremoniesDest)) {\r\n  fs.copyFileSync(ceremoniesSrc, ceremoniesDest);\r\n  console.log(`${GREEN}✓${RESET} .squad/ceremonies.md`);\r\n} else {\r\n  console.log(`${DIM}ceremonies.md already exists — skipping${RESET}`);\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Anti-Patterns\r\n- **Adding npm dependencies** — Squad is zero-dep. Use Node.js built-ins only.\r\n- **Hardcoded path separators** — Never use `/` or `\\` directly. Always `path.join()`.\r\n- **Overwriting user state on init** — Init skips existing files. Only upgrade overwrites Squad-owned files.\r\n- **Raw stack traces** — All errors go through `fatal()`. Users see clean messages, not stack traces.\r\n- **Inline ANSI codes** — Use the color constants (`GREEN`, `RED`, `DIM`, `BOLD`, `RESET`).\r\n"
