Supervisor checkpoints are `interactive` (post-wave, spawned by orchestrator to verify cross-artifact consistency). Quality gate user approval is `interactive`. **Wave Computation**: Kahn's BFS topological sort with depth tracking (csv-wave tasks only). **User Validation**: Display task breakdown with wave + exec_mode assignment (skip if AUTO_YES). **Success Criteria**: - tasks.csv created with valid schema, wave, and exec_mode assignments - No circular dependencies - User approved (or AUTO_YES) --- ### Phase 2: Wave Execution Engine (Extended) **Objective**: Execute tasks wave-by-wave with hybrid mechanism support and cross-wave context propagation. ```javascript const failedIds = new Set() const skippedIds = new Set() for (let wave = 1; wave <= maxWave; wave++) { console.log(`\n## Wave ${wave}/${maxWave}\n`) // 1.

Handle special post-wave logic // After QUALITY-001: pause for user approval before implementation // After PLAN-001: read complexity for conditional routing } ``` **Success Criteria**: - All waves executed in order - Both csv-wave and interactive tasks handled per wave - Each wave's results merged into master CSV before next wave starts - Dependent tasks skipped when predecessor failed - discoveries.ndjson accumulated across all waves and mechanisms - Supervisor checkpoints evaluated with proper verdict routing --- ### Phase 3: Post-Wave Interactive **Objective**: Handle quality gate user approval and complexity-based implementation routing. After QUALITY-001 completes (spec pipelines): 1. Read quality score from QUALITY-001 findings 2. If score >= 80%: present user approval for implementation (if full-lifecycle) 3. If score 60-79%: suggest revisions, offer retry 4. If score < 60%: return to writer for rework After PLAN-001 completes (impl pipelines): 1. Read plan.json complexity assessment 2. Route by complexity: - Low (1-2 modules): direct IMPL-001 - Medium (3-4 modules): parallel IMPL-{1..N} - High (5+ modules): detailed architecture first, then parallel IMPL **Success Criteria**: - Post-wave interactive processing complete - Interactive agents closed, results stored --- ### Phase 4: Results Aggregation **Objective**: Generate final results and human-readable report. ```javascript const masterCsv = Read(`${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`) Write(`${sessionFolder}/results.csv`, masterCsv) const tasks = parseCsv(masterCsv) const completed = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'completed') const failed = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'failed') const skipped = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'skipped') const contextContent = `# Team Lifecycle v4 Report **Session**: ${sessionId} **Requirement**: ${requirement} **Pipeline**: ${pipeline_type} **Completed**: ${getUtc8ISOString()} --- ## Summary | Metric | Count | |--------|-------| | Total Tasks | ${tasks.length} | | Completed | ${completed.length} | | Failed | ${failed.length} | | Skipped | ${skipped.length} | | Supervision | ${noSupervision ? 'Disabled' : 'Enabled'} | --- ## Pipeline Execution ${waveDetails} --- ## Deliverables ${deliverablesList} --- ## Quality Gates ${qualityGateResults} --- ## Checkpoint Reports ${checkpointResults} ` Write(`${sessionFolder}/context.md`, contextContent) ``` If not AUTO_YES, offer completion action: ```javascript if (!AUTO_YES) { AskUserQuestion({ questions: [{ question: "Pipeline complete.

This enables cross-role knowledge sharing. **Discovery Types**: | Type | Dedup Key | Data Schema | Description | |------|-----------|-------------|-------------| | `research` | `data.dimension` | `{dimension, findings[], constraints[], integration_points[]}` | Research findings | | `spec_artifact` | `data.doc_type` | `{doc_type, path, sections[], key_decisions[]}` | Specification document artifact | | `exploration` | `data.angle` | `{angle, relevant_files[], patterns[], recommendations[]}` | Codebase exploration finding | | `plan_task` | `data.task_id` | `{task_id, title, files[], complexity, convergence_criteria[]}` | Implementation task definition | | `implementation` | `data.task_id` | `{task_id, files_modified[], approach, changes_summary}` | Implementation result | | `test_result` | `data.framework` | `{framework, pass_rate, failures[], fix_iterations}` | Test execution result | | `review_finding` | `data.file` | `{file, line, severity, dimension, description, suggested_fix}` | Code review finding | | `checkpoint` | `data.checkpoint_id` | `{checkpoint_id, verdict, score, risks[], blocks[]}` | Supervisor checkpoint result | | `quality_gate` | `data.gate_id` | `{gate_id, score, dimensions{}, verdict}` | Quality gate assessment | **Format**: NDJSON, each line is self-contained JSON: ```jsonl {"ts":"2026-03-08T10:00:00+08:00","worker":"RESEARCH-001","type":"research","data":{"dimension":"domain","findings":["Auth system needs OAuth2 + RBAC"],"constraints":["Must support SSO"],"integration_points":["User service API"]}} {"ts":"2026-03-08T10:15:00+08:00","worker":"DRAFT-001","type":"spec_artifact","data":{"doc_type":"product-brief","path":"spec/product-brief.md","sections":["Vision","Problem","Users","Goals"],"key_decisions":["OAuth2 over custom auth"]}} {"ts":"2026-03-08T11:00:00+08:00","worker":"CHECKPOINT-001","type":"checkpoint","data":{"checkpoint_id":"CHECKPOINT-001","verdict":"pass","score":0.90,"risks":[],"blocks":[]}} ``` **Protocol Rules**: 1. Read board before own work -> leverage existing context 2. Write discoveries immediately via `echo >>` -> don't batch 3. Deduplicate -- check existing entries by type + dedup key 4. Append-only -- never modify or delete existing lines --- ## Error Handling | Error | Resolution | |-------|------------| | Circular dependency | Detect in wave computation, abort with error message | | CSV agent timeout | Mark as failed in results, continue with wave | | CSV agent failed | Mark as failed, skip dependent tasks in later waves | | Interactive agent timeout | Urge convergence via send_input, then close if still timed out | | Interactive agent failed | Mark as failed, skip dependents | | Supervisor checkpoint blocked | AskUserQuestion: Override / Revise / Abort | | Quality gate failed (< 60%) | Return to writer for rework | | All agents in wave failed | Log error, offer retry or abort | | CSV parse error | Validate CSV format before execution, show line number | | discoveries.ndjson corrupt | Ignore malformed lines, continue with valid entries | | CLI tool fails | Agent fallback to direct implementation | | Continue mode: no session found | List available sessions, prompt user to select | --- ## Core Rules 1. **Start Immediately**: First action is session initialization, then Phase 0/1 2. **Wave Order is Sacred**: Never execute wave N before wave N-1 completes and results are merged 3. **CSV is Source of Truth**: Master tasks.csv holds all state (both csv-wave and interactive) 4. **CSV First**: Default to csv-wave for tasks; only use interactive when interaction pattern requires it 5. **Context Propagation**: prev_context built from master CSV, not from memory 6. **Discovery Board is Append-Only**: Never clear, modify, or recreate discoveries.ndjson -- both mechanisms share it 7. **Skip on Failure**: If a dependency failed, skip the dependent task (regardless of mechanism) 8. **Lifecycle Balance**: Every spawn_agent MUST have a matching close_agent 9. **Cleanup Temp Files**: Remove wave-{N}.csv after results are merged 10. **DO NOT STOP**: Continuous execution until all waves complete or all remaining tasks are skipped
