## 🌟 Major Features & Enhancements

### 🏗️ **Four-Layer Architecture (NEW)**

CCW now operates through four distinct architectural layers with defined responsibilities and data contracts:

| Layer | Components | Data Flow | Integration Points |
|-------|------------|-----------|-------------------|
| **🖥️ Interface Layer** | CLI Commands, Gemini/Codex/Qwen Wrappers | User input → Commands → Agents | External CLI tools, approval modes |
| **📋 Session Layer** | `.active-[session]` markers, `workflow-session.json` | Session state → Task discovery | Atomic session switching |
| **📊 Task/Data Layer** | `.task/impl-*.json`, hierarchy management | Task definitions → Agent execution | JSON-first model, generated views |
| **🤖 Orchestration Layer** | Multi-agent coordination, dependency resolution | Agent outputs → Task updates | Intelligent execution flow |

### 🔄 **Enhanced Workflow Lifecycle**

Complete development lifecycle with quality gates at each phase:

1. **💡 Brainstorm Phase** - Multi-perspective conceptual planning with role-based analysis
2. **📋 Plan Phase** - Structured implementation planning with task decomposition
3. **✅ Verify Phase** - Pre-execution validation using Gemini (strategic) + Codex (technical)
4. **⚡ Execute Phase** - Autonomous implementation with multi-agent orchestration
5. **🧪 Test Phase** - Automated test workflow generation with comprehensive coverage
6. **🔍 Review Phase** - Quality assurance and completion validation

### 🧪 **Automated Test Generation**

Comprehensive test workflow creation:
- **Implementation Analysis**: Scans completed IMPL-* tasks for test requirements
- **Multi-layered Testing**: Unit, Integration, E2E, Performance, Security tests

- **Improvement Suggestions**: Actionable recommendations before implementation begins

### 🧠 **Smart Tech Stack Detection**

Intelligent task-based loading of technology guidelines:
- **Automatic Detection**: Only loads tech stacks for development and code review tasks
- **Multi-Language Support**: TypeScript, React, Python, Java, Go, JavaScript
- **Performance Optimized**: Skips detection for non-relevant tasks
- **Context-Aware**: Applies appropriate tech stack principles to development work

### 🔮 **Qwen CLI Integration**

Full integration of Qwen CLI for architecture analysis and code generation:
- **Architecture Analysis**: System design patterns and code quality assessment
