+      On first run (no previous steps):
+      1. Read the issue and all comments from Gitea using `tea issues <number> -r <owner/repo>`
+      2. Look for project conventions files (CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .cursor/rules/) in the repo
+      3. Assess whether the issue has enough information to produce a test spec
+      4. If insufficient info: comment on the issue via `echo "..." | tea comment <number> -r <owner/repo>` (skip if you already commented), then output $status=insufficient_info
+      5. If sufficient: produce a detailed TDD test spec in markdown covering all scenarios

+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### CAS (Content-Addressed Storage)
+Every artifact in the workflow engine is stored as a CAS node — an immutable, content-addressed record identified by its XXH64 hash (13-char Crockford Base32). CAS provides deduplication, integrity verification, and an append-only audit trail.
+
+Stored artifacts include:
+- **Workflow definitions** — the YAML-parsed payload
+- **Step nodes** — each moderator→agent→extract cycle
+- **Detail nodes** — per-step metadata and turn history
+- **Turn records** — individual agent interactions within a step
+
+### Thread
+A Thread is a single execution of a Workflow, identified by a ULID (26-char Crockford Base32: 10 timestamp + 16 random). Thread state is an immutable CAS chain — each step points to its predecessor via a \`prev\` hash, forming a linked list.
+
+Active threads are indexed in \`threads.yaml\`; completed threads move to \`history.jsonl\`.
+
+A thread progresses by running \`uwf thread exec\`, which performs one moderator→agent→extract cycle per step.
+
+### Workflow
+A Workflow is a YAML definition (\`WorkflowPayload\`) stored as a CAS node. It defines:
+- **Roles** — named actors with system prompts and output schemas
+- **Graph** — status-based routing edges between roles
+- **Conditions** — edge predicates evaluated by the moderator
+
+Workflow names follow verb-first kebab-case: \`solve-issue\`, \`review-code\`.
+
+### Step
+A Step is one moderator→agent→extract cycle, stored as a CAS node (\`StepNodePayload\`). Each step contains:
+- **output** — the agent's extracted frontmatter output
+- **detail** — a CAS reference to turn-level records
+- **prev** — CAS hash of the previous step (forming the chain)
+- **role** — which role produced this step
+
+### Turn
+A Turn is an agent-internal interaction within a single Step. Turns are stored per-turn in the detail node, capturing the raw agent I/O before extraction.
+
+## Data Flow
+
+\`\`\`
+uwf thread exec <thread-id>
+  → Moderator evaluates graph edges based on current status
+  → Selects next role (or $END)
+  → Agent CLI is spawned with context
+  → Agent produces frontmatter markdown
+  → Extract pipeline parses output into structured data
+  → New CAS step node is appended to the thread chain
+\`\`\`
+
+## Storage Layout
+
+All data lives under \`~/.uncaged/workflow/\`:
+- \`cas/\` — content-addressed store (XXH64-keyed)
+- \`threads.yaml\` — active thread index
+- \`history.jsonl\` — completed thread archive
+- \`registry.yaml\` — workflow name → CAS hash mapping

+
+## Overview
+
+The moderator is the workflow engine's routing component. It evaluates the directed graph defined in the workflow YAML to determine the next role (or \`$END\`) after each step — with zero LLM cost.
+
+## Status-Based Routing
+
+The moderator uses **status-based routing**: it inspects the previous step's extracted output (specifically the \`$status\` field) and looks up the corresponding edge in the graph.
+
+### Graph Structure
+
+The graph is a nested map: \`Record<Role | "$START", Record<Status, Target>>\`. Each role maps its possible \`$status\` values to a target with a \`role\` and \`prompt\`:
+
+\`\`\`yaml
+graph:
+  $START:
+    _: { role: planner, prompt: "Analyze the issue." }
+  planner:
+    ready: { role: developer, prompt: "Implement the plan (CAS hash: {{{plan}}})." }
+    insufficient_info: { role: $END, prompt: "Not enough info." }
+  developer:
+    done: { role: reviewer, prompt: "Review branch {{{branch}}} at {{{worktree}}}." }
+    failed: { role: $END, prompt: "Developer failed: {{{reason}}}." }
+  reviewer:
+    approved: { role: tester, prompt: "Run tests on {{{branch}}} at {{{worktree}}}." }
+    rejected: { role: developer, prompt: "Fix issues: {{{comments}}}." }
+\`\`\`
+
+### Routing Algorithm
+
+1. Look up \`graph[lastRole]\` to get the status map for the current role
+2. Look up \`statusMap[lastOutput.$status]\` to get the target
+3. If target role is \`$END\`, mark thread as completed
+4. Otherwise, render the edge prompt (Mustache templates with \`{{{field}}}\` from output) and spawn the next agent
+
+### Edge Prompts and Mustache Templates
+
+Edge prompts use triple-brace Mustache syntax (\`{{{field}}}\`) to interpolate values from the previous step's output into the next agent's task prompt. This passes structured data (branch names, file paths, CAS hashes) between roles without manual wiring.
+
+## Special Nodes
+
+- \`$START\` — entry point; uses status key \`_\` (unconditional) since there is no previous output
+- \`$END\` — terminal node; thread completes when reached and is moved to history
+
+## Integration with Steps
+
+Each \`uwf thread exec\` cycle:
+1. Moderator reads the thread's head step output
+2. Looks up \`graph[lastRole][output.$status]\` to pick the next role
+3. If next is \`$END\`, marks thread as completed
+4. Otherwise, renders the edge prompt and spawns the agent for the selected role
+5. Extract pipeline parses agent output → new step node → append to CAS chain

+| \`frontmatter\` | JSON Schema | Defines the structured output the agent must produce |
+
+### frontmatter

+The \`frontmatter\` field is a standard JSON Schema object. The extract pipeline validates agent output against it. Key conventions:
+- \`$status\` field drives routing decisions in the graph
+- Use \`const\` or \`enum\` to constrain status values
+- Use \`oneOf\` to define multiple valid output shapes (one per status)
+- All \`required\` fields must appear in the agent's frontmatter output

+- \`$END\` — terminal node; thread completes when reached
