Previously step list showed raw CAS refs for detail fields.
Now detail is recursively expanded (like output already was),
since every turn is individually hashed and walkable.

This commit implements issue #456, adding two related capabilities to the uwf CLI:
1. **Background execution mode** for `uwf thread step` (via `--background` flag)
- Spawns agent execution in a detached background process
- Returns immediately with thread ID and background status
- Maintains marker files to track running processes
- Supports `--count` option to run multiple steps in background
- Prevents concurrent execution of the same thread
2. **Running threads query** command (`uwf thread running`)
- Lists all threads currently executing in background
- Returns thread ID, workflow, current role, PID, and start time
- Automatically filters out stale markers (dead processes)
- Empty list when no threads are running
**Key changes:**
- **workflow-protocol**: Added `RunningThreadItem`, `RunningThreadsOutput` types
Updated `StepOutput` to include `background: boolean | null` field
- **cli-workflow/background**: New module for process management
- Marker file creation/deletion (atomic operations)
- PID liveness checking
- Stale marker cleanup
- Running threads query
- **cli-workflow/commands/thread**:
- Updated `cmdThreadStep` to support `--background` and `--_background-worker` flags
- Added `cmdThreadStepBackground` for spawning detached processes
- Added `cmdThreadRunning` to list running threads
- Updated `cmdThreadKill` to terminate background processes
- **cli-workflow/cli**: Added CLI routing for new commands and flags
**Integration:**
- `uwf thread kill` now terminates background processes before archiving
- Foreground execution checks for existing background process and fails if found
- Background worker creates/cleans up marker files automatically
- Marker files stored in `~/.uncaged/workflow/running/*.json`

- Root README: add all 9 packages to table, update architecture diagram,
refresh CLI reference from uwf --help
- New READMEs for 8 packages (cli-workflow, workflow-protocol,
workflow-moderator, workflow-agent-kit, workflow-agent-hermes,
workflow-agent-builtin, workflow-agent-claude-code, workflow-dashboard)
- Updated workflow-util README to match current exports
- All API sections verified against src/index.ts exports

- StepRecord adds edgePrompt field (backward compat: defaults to "")
- StepNode CAS schema includes edgePrompt
- writeStepNode persists ctx.edgePrompt
- buildHistory exposes edgePrompt in StepContext
- buildBuiltinMessages reconstructs multi-turn moderator↔agent conversation:
system = role prompt + output format (stable prefix)
per prior visit: user (edgePrompt + inter-step summary) + assistant (output)
current: user (edgePrompt + recent summary)
- Zero extra persistence — pure function of CAS chain
- Stable prefix for LLM prompt cache hits
- 10 builtin tests pass, all other package tests pass
Agent CLI outputs plain CAS hash (not JSON), engine parses plain hash.
StepOutput no longer carries sessionId — session info is already in CAS detail.
Keeps the valuable parts of #385: sessionId in AgentRunResult (process-internal),
continue support, and frontmatter retry loop.
Breaking changes:
- AgentRunResult now requires sessionId field
- AgentOptions now requires continue function
- Agent CLI outputs JSON {stepHash, sessionId} instead of plain CAS hash
- Engine parses JSON output (with legacy CAS hash fallback)
New features:
- Frontmatter validation retry: if agent output lacks valid frontmatter,
engine calls agent.continue() up to 2 times with correction message
- Session tracking: sessionId flows from agent → engine → StepOutput
- Hermes agent: session parse failure is now a hard error (no raw text fallback)
- Hermes agent: supports --resume for continue sessions
Closes#384
Breaking change per review:
- Remove systemPrompt from RoleDefinition entirely
- identity/prepare/execute/report are now required (string, not nullable)
- Remove all legacy fallback logic in buildRolePrompt
- Simplify validate.ts, workflow.ts materialize
- Migrate all test fixtures and example workflows
Refs #359
- Extend RoleDefinition with identity, prepare, execute, report fields
- Make systemPrompt optional (nullable) for four-phase workflows
- Update ROLE_DEFINITION JSON Schema (all new fields optional)
- Update validate.ts to accept new fields
- Update workflow.ts to strip null fields before CAS storage
- Update thread read to prefer identity over systemPrompt
- Add --version flag to uwf CLI
- Bump all packages to 0.5.0
Refs #359
Make AgentFn<Opt> always take a mandatory options argument, removing
the void conditional overload. Simplify createAgentAdapter, restore
exports needed by tests, and fix CLI test bundles to use cas.put
instead of disallowed @uncaged/* imports.

- Add systemPrompt to WorkflowRoleDescriptor (protocol)
- Propagate systemPrompt through buildDescriptor and validateWorkflowDescriptor
- Display system prompt as collapsible <details> in RoleCard
- Remove Gitea npm registry, use npmjs.org
- changeset publish works natively with npmjs
- release script: build + test + changeset publish
- Remove custom release.sh, all via changesets
- All @uncaged/* packages → 0.4.0
- Internal deps: workspace:* → workspace:^ (resolves to ^0.4.0 on publish)
- Fix exports: add 'bun' condition for local dev (src), 'import' for consumers (dist)
- Remove stale 'main: src/index.ts' from 6 packages
- Fix publish.sh topo sort to match workspace:^ prefix
星月 <xingyue@shazhou.work>
Packages without exports.types pointed main/types to src/ which
doesn't exist in published tarballs. Now all packages have:
exports."." = { types: dist/index.d.ts, import: src/index.ts }
Bump to 0.3.18.
- Add RoleFn<T>, AdapterFn, AdapterBinding types to workflow-protocol
- Mark AgentFn, AgentFnResult, AgentBinding as @deprecated
- Refactor createWorkflow to accept AdapterBinding instead of AgentBinding
- Adapter returns typed meta directly — no more extract call in workflow loop
- Add buildThreadInput (ThreadContext-based), keep buildAgentPrompt as deprecated wrapper
- Update template bundle-entries to wrap AgentFn as AdapterFn
- Update solve-issue tests to use AdapterFn directly
