✨ Major Enhancements v2.0

🔄 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

🐍 Python-Powered Backend (pycli)

Advanced semantic context discovery system:

# Hierarchical vector database support
pycli --semantic-search "authentication patterns"

# Auto-detects parent directory vector DB
pycli --context-discovery --inherit-parent

# Intelligent file relevance scoring
pycli --analyze-relevance "jwt token 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
• Agent Assignment: Specialized test agents for different test types
• Dependency Mapping: Test execution follows implementation dependency chains

✅ Plan Verification System

Dual-engine validation before execution:

• Gemini Strategic Analysis: High-level feasibility and architectural soundness
• Codex Technical Analysis: Implementation details and technical feasibility
• Cross-Validation: Identifies conflicts between strategic vision and technical constraints
• Improvement Suggestions: Actionable recommendations before implementation begins

📊 Complexity Management System

CCW automatically adapts workflow structure based on project complexity:

Complexity	Task Count	Structure	Features
🟢 Simple	<5 tasks	Single-level	Minimal overhead, direct execution
🟡 Medium	5-10 tasks	Two-level hierarchy	Progress tracking, automated docs
🔴 Complex	>10 tasks	Force re-scoping	Multi-iteration planning required
