The goal evaluator now treats TaskCreate/TaskUpdate transcript state as a hard liveness gate, so a goal cannot complete while task entries remain pending or in_progress.
Background agent completion now notifies the parent before classifier or worktree cleanup, which keeps the main session from waiting forever when post-completion cleanup hangs. The desktop store also marks tabs idle on message_complete so completed transcripts do not leave stale running chrome.
Constraint: Desktop /goal relies on transcript task notifications to resume after background agents.
Rejected: Let optional cleanup run before notification | cleanup can hang and leaves the parent loop stuck.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not gate task-notification delivery on classifier or worktree cleanup without a timeout-backed liveness test.
Tested: bun test src/goals/goalEvaluator.test.ts src/tools/AgentTool/agentToolUtils.test.ts
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test src/stores/chatStore.test.ts -t "marks the tab idle when a message completes"
Agent definitions are cached across command invocations, so edits made through the shared file helper must invalidate both the agent definition cache and the underlying markdown file cache. This keeps the TUI creation path and /agents command output consistent after creating, updating, or deleting custom agents.
Constraint: The TUI agent wizard and /agents command share cached agent definition loaders
Rejected: Clear only getAgentDefinitionsWithOverrides | the nested markdown file memoization can still return stale files
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Any future agent file mutation path must call clearAgentDefinitionsCache after a successful write or delete
Tested: bun test src/tools/AgentTool/loadAgentsDir.cache.test.ts
Tested: bun run check:server
Not-tested: Full verify still blocked by existing agent-utils global coverage baseline
External builds were inheriting internal feature-gate defaults, so Explore,
Plan, and verification disappeared from the active agent registry. Keep the
internal ant experiment behavior gated, but make public builds default to the
full workflow agent set while preserving the SDK opt-out path.
Constraint: Internal ant builds still rely on GrowthBook rollout gates.
Rejected: Force-enable all users unconditionally | would bypass internal experiment controls.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not move public built-in agents behind internal-only feature flags without verifying desktop /api/agents and real Agent subagent orchestration.
Tested: bun test src/tools/AgentTool/builtInAgents.test.ts
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: Full quality gate in this commit step; earlier quality:pr is blocked by cli-core approval policy.
