Deep dive into pedramamini/Maestro covering architecture,
features (Auto-Run, session discovery, moderator group chat,
git worktrees), and recommended adoptions for agent-relay.

Deep dive into pedramamini/Maestro covering architecture,
features (Auto-Run, session discovery, moderator group chat,
git worktrees), and recommended adoptions for agent-relay.
- Add detailed agent-to-agent communication section for pedramamini/Maestro
  explaining the moderator-mediated group chat pattern (no direct A2A)
- Add full analysis of 23blocks-OS/ai-maestro with:
  - Manager/worker distributed architecture
  - Dual-channel messaging (file-based + tmux injection)
  - Code intelligence features (AST, semantic search)
  - Three-way comparison table
- Document key differences: pedramamini uses AI moderator routing,
  23blocks uses true file+tmux A2A, agent-relay uses pattern-based A2A
- Add Part 3: steipete/Clawdis analysis covering:
  - Gateway hub architecture (no direct A2A)
  - WebSocket JSON-RPC protocol with 41+ methods
  - Node pairing for distributed devices
  - Idempotency system (5min TTL, 1000 cap)

- Add Part 4: Consolidated recommendations:
  - Four-way comparison table
  - Tiered adoption priorities
  - Proposed enhanced pattern syntax
  - Implementation roadmap

Key takeaways for agent-relay:
- Tier 1: Message priority, types, read tracking, idempotency
- Tier 2: Session resume, simple autorun, agent metadata
- Tier 3: Multi-surface delivery, node pairing, moderator mode
New issues from analyzing Maestro, ai-maestro, and Clawdis:
- ca1: Message priority levels [urgent|high|normal|low]
- ca2: Message type classification [type:request|response|...]
- ca3: Idempotency cache (5min TTL, 1000 cap)
- ca4: Session resume capability
- ca5: Simple autorun for markdown checklists
- ca6: Agent hierarchy naming (project-module-task)
Part 5: winfunc/opcode (19.5k+ stars)
- Tauri 2 desktop GUI for Claude Code
- CC Agents system with custom system prompts
- Timeline/checkpoint system (file snapshots, fork sessions)
- Usage analytics dashboard
- Process registry with graceful shutdown

Key insight: opcode is complementary, not competitive.
It manages Claude sessions; agent-relay enables A2A messaging.

Adoptable ideas:
- Session checkpoints (P2)
- Agent template files (P3)
- Usage analytics (P3)

Updated five-way comparison table.
Added 5 new beads tasks (ca7-ca11) for making agent-relay easier to integrate:
- ca7: Auto-daemon mode (--auto-daemon flag)
- ca8: Environment variable auto-detection (AGENT_RELAY_NAME)
- ca9: MCP Server for native Claude Code integration
- ca10: Programmatic SDK for custom agent implementations
- ca11: Shell shim for zero-config (agent-relay shell-init)

These features would enable simpler adoption paths:
- Zero-config: just run 'AGENT_RELAY_NAME=Alice claude'
- Native MCP: 'claude mcp add agent-relay'
- SDK: import { AgentRelayClient } from 'agent-relay'

* refactor: TDD decomposition of runner.ts + main.rs with extracted modules

Extracted 5 modules from runner.ts (6,878 lines):
- verification.ts (143 lines)
- template-resolver.ts (87 lines)
- channel-messenger.ts (151 lines)
- step-executor.ts (571 lines)
- process-spawner.ts (96 lines)

Added characterization tests for all extracted modules.
Extracted broker.rs and worker.rs from main.rs.

Bug fixes:
- Restore stripInjectedTaskEcho in verification.ts
- Guard agent.release() against broker 400 race condition
- Fix run-summary-table test for new table format
- Export normalizeModel for correct pricing resolution
- Fix --wave argument parsing in run-refactor.ts
- ESM imports in all workflow files

* fix: address 10 review finding(s)

tracker.ts: resolveModel now uses normalizeModel for alias resolution (pre-existing fix verified)
run-refactor.ts: --wave parsing with proper validation (pre-existing fix verified)
step-executor.ts: signal-killed processes now correctly treated as failures
channel-messenger.ts: replaced ReDoS-vulnerable regex with iterative indexOf stripping
runner.ts: eliminated shell injection by using direct git spawn with argument arrays
process-spawner.ts: fixed SIGKILL fallback timer leak by storing and clearing reference

* style: auto-format Rust code with cargo fmt

* minor clean

* fix: reinstate deleted workflow files into workflows/ci/

Moved fix-mcp-spawn.yaml, add-swift-sdk.ts, and cli-observability.ts
into workflows/ci/ to clearly distinguish them as CI test suite
workflows. Updated .gitignore to allow workflows/ci/ and workflows/refactor/.

* fix: address remaining Devin review findings and fix failing test

- Fix tracker test: expect mode: 0o700 in mkdirSync assertion
- Use Object.hasOwn() instead of `in` operator to avoid prototype chain false positives
- Use Promise.allSettled to preserve partial output on process timeout
- Apply path containment check for absolute paths in checkFileExists

* fix: address new Devin review findings — StepExecutor name collision and cwd trailing slash

- Rename StepExecutor interface in runner.ts to RunnerStepExecutor to avoid
  shadowing the StepExecutor class export in the barrel index
- Normalize cwd with path.resolve() in checkFileExists to handle trailing slashes
