xiaoju 932bbe5c41 fix(cli): replace markdown headings with XML tags in thread read output
Changed uwf thread read to wrap role prompts and agent outputs in XML tags
(<prompt> and <output>) instead of markdown headings (### Prompt, ### Content).
This prevents Claude Code from treating step outputs as structural headings.

- Updated formatStepPrompt to use <prompt>...</prompt> tags
- Updated formatStepContent to use <output>...</output> tags
- Added comprehensive test suite in thread-read-xml-tags.test.ts
- Updated existing tests to verify XML tag behavior

Fixes #459

@uncaged/cli-workflow

uwf CLI — thread lifecycle, workflow registry, CAS inspection, and setup.

Overview

Layer 4 entry point for the workflow engine. The uwf binary orchestrates one step per invocation: load thread head from threads.yaml, run the moderator, spawn the configured agent CLI, run extract, append a CAS step node, and update the head pointer (or archive when $END).

This package has no library src/index.ts — it is consumed as a CLI binary only.

Dependencies: @uncaged/json-cas, @uncaged/json-cas-fs, @uncaged/workflow-agent-kit, @uncaged/workflow-moderator, @uncaged/workflow-protocol, @uncaged/workflow-util, commander, dotenv, yaml

Installation

Included as the uwf binary when you install @uncaged/cli-workflow:

bun add -g @uncaged/cli-workflow
# or from the monorepo:
bun link packages/cli-workflow
