-## Rule
-
-Do NOT use `await import()` or dynamic `import()` expressions in production source code.
-Always use static top-level `import` statements.
-
-## Exception (must include a comment explaining why)
-
-1. **Bundle loader** — loads user-authored workflow bundles whose paths are only known at runtime

-# Sync README
+# Sync Readme
 
-When updating README.md files in this monorepo, follow these conventions.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Root `README.md` — project overview and navigation hub
-- Per-package `packages/*/README.md` — each package self-contained
-
-## Root README Structure
-
-The root README should have these sections in order:
-
-1. **Title and one-liner** — stateless workflow engine driven by single-step CLI
-2. **Overview** — 2-3 paragraphs explaining what it does and key concepts
-3. **Architecture** — dependency layer diagram (text-based)
-4. **Packages** — table with ALL packages from packages/ directory, columns: Package, Description, Type (cli/lib/agent/app)
-5. **Quick Start** — install, build, register workflow, start thread, run step
-6. **CLI Reference** — brief command list, detailed usage in cli-workflow README
-7. **Development** — bun install / build / check / test
-
-## Per-Package README Structure
-
-Each package README should have:
-
-1. **Title** — package name
-2. **One-line description** — matching package.json
-3. **Overview** — what it does, where it sits in the architecture, dependencies
-4. **Installation** — bun add (for libs) or "included as binary" (for cli/agents)
-5. **API** (lib packages) — all exports from src/index.ts with type signatures, grouped by category, minimal usage examples
-6. **CLI Usage** (cli/agent packages) — command reference with examples
-7. **Internal Structure** — brief src/ file organization
-8. **Configuration** (if applicable)
-
-## Execution Steps
-
-### Step 1: Gather current state
-For each package read:
-- package.json (name, version, description, dependencies, bin)
-- src/index.ts (public API exports)
-- Existing README.md (preserve hand-written content worth keeping)
-
-### Step 2: Update root README
-- Ensure ALL packages in packages/ directory are listed in the table
-- Update CLI command reference from uwf --help output
-- Keep Quick Start examples valid
-
-### Step 3: Write/update each package README
-- Follow the per-package structure
-- API section MUST match actual src/index.ts exports — never invent
-- For agent packages: document CLI binary name, how it is invoked
-- For lib packages: document exported types and functions
-- Internal structure: list actual files in src/
-
-### Step 4: Verify
-- All relative links work
-- Package names match package.json
-- No references to removed/renamed packages
-- bun run build still passes
-
-## Guidelines
-
-- Only document what src/index.ts actually exports
-- Root README summarizes, package READMEs go into detail
-- Verify CLI examples against actual commands
-- Preserve existing good prose when updating
-- English for all README content
+See [docs/sync-readme.md](../../docs/sync-readme.md) for full rules.

-# Test Spec: uwf setup model connectivity validation (#335)
-
-## Context
-
-File: `packages/cli-workflow/src/commands/setup.ts`
-Test file: `packages/cli-workflow/src/__tests__/setup-validate.test.ts`
-
-After `cmdSetup` writes config, it should send a test chat completion request to verify the configured model is reachable. If validation fails, warn the user (don't abort — config is already saved).
-
-## Implementation Notes
-
-- Add a `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, model)` function that sends a minimal chat completion request (`POST /chat/completions` with `messages: [{role:"user",content:"hi"}]`, `max_tokens: 1`)
-- Returns `Result<void, string>` — ok if 2xx response, error with reason string otherwise
-- Use `AbortSignal.timeout(15_000)` for the request
-- Both `cmdSetup` and `cmdSetupInteractive` should call it after saving config
-- `cmdSetup` returns validation result in its return object: `{ ...existing, validation: { ok: true } | { ok: false, error: string } }`
-- `cmdSetupInteractive` prints a warning to console if validation fails, success message if it passes
-- Use the project logger (`createLogger`) — no raw `console.log` except in interactive CLI output (per CLAUDE.md)
-
-## Test Cases (vitest)
-
-### 1. `validateModel` — success path
-- Mock `fetch` to return `{ status: 200, ok: true, json: () => ({}) }`
-- Call `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, model)`
-- Assert returns `{ ok: true, value: undefined }`
-- Assert fetch was called with correct URL (`${baseUrl}/chat/completions`), correct headers (`Authorization: Bearer ${apiKey}`), correct body (model, messages, max_tokens: 1)
-
-### 2. `validateModel` — HTTP error (401 unauthorized)
-- Mock `fetch` to return `{ status: 401, ok: false, statusText: "Unauthorized" }`
-- Call `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, model)`
-- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string containing "401"> }`
-
-### 3. `validateModel` — HTTP error (404 model not found)
-- Mock `fetch` to return `{ status: 404, ok: false, statusText: "Not Found" }`
-- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string containing "404"> }`
-
-### 4. `validateModel` — network timeout
-- Mock `fetch` to throw `DOMException` with name `AbortError`
-- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string containing "timeout" or "unreachable"> }`
-
-### 5. `validateModel` — network error (DNS failure, connection refused)
-- Mock `fetch` to throw `TypeError("fetch failed")`
-- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string mentioning connectivity> }`
-
-### 6. `cmdSetup` — includes validation result on success
-- Mock global `fetch` for `/chat/completions` to succeed
-- Call `cmdSetup({ provider, baseUrl, apiKey, model, storageRoot })`
-- Assert returned object has `validation: { ok: true, value: undefined }`
-- Assert config files are still written (existing behavior preserved)
-
-### 7. `cmdSetup` — includes validation result on failure (config still saved)
-- Mock global `fetch` for `/chat/completions` to return 401
-- Call `cmdSetup({ ... })`
-- Assert returned object has `validation: { ok: false, error: ... }`
-- Assert `config.yaml` and `.env` are still written (validation failure doesn't prevent saving)
-
-### 8. `cmdSetupInteractive` — prints success message on validation pass
-- Mock `fetch` for both `/models` and `/chat/completions` to succeed
-- Mock stdin to provide valid selections
-- Capture console output
-- Assert output contains a success message like "Model verified" or "✓"
-
-### 9. `cmdSetupInteractive` — prints warning on validation failure
-- Mock `fetch`: `/models` succeeds, `/chat/completions` returns 401
-- Mock stdin for valid selections
-- Capture console output
-- Assert output contains a warning about model not being reachable and suggests trying a different model
-
-### 10. `validateModel` — request body correctness
-- Mock `fetch` to capture the request body
-- Call `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, "test-model")`
-- Assert body is `{ model: "test-model", messages: [{role: "user", content: "hi"}], max_tokens: 1 }`
-
-## Export Requirements
-
-- `validateModel` must be exported (for direct unit testing)
-- Signature: `async function validateModel(baseUrl: string, apiKey: string, model: string): Promise<Result<void, string>>`
-- `Result` type: `{ ok: true; value: T } | { ok: false; error: E }` (project convention)
-
-## Files to Create/Modify
-
-- **New**: `packages/cli-workflow/src/__tests__/setup-validate.test.ts` — all test cases above
-- **Modify**: `packages/cli-workflow/src/commands/setup.ts` — add `validateModel`, integrate into `cmdSetup` and `cmdSetupInteractive`

+# Contributing to @uncaged/workflow
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing! This guide covers setup, conventions, and the PR workflow.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Bun](https://bun.sh/) (latest)
+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 20+
+- Git
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/shazhou-ww/uncaged-workflow.git
+cd uncaged-workflow
+bun install
+bun run build
+bun test
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+```bash
+bun run build     # TypeScript compilation (all packages)
+bun run check     # tsc + biome lint + log tag validation
+bun run format    # Auto-format with Biome
+bun test          # Run all tests
+```
+
+All three (`build`, `check`, `test`) must pass before submitting a PR. A pre-push hook runs `check` + `test` automatically.
+
+## Coding Conventions
+
+See [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) for the full coding standard. Key points:
+
+- **Functional-first** — `function` + `type`, not `class` + `interface`
+- **No optional properties** — use `T | null` instead of `?:`
+- **Named exports only** — no default exports
+- **No `console.log`** — use the structured logger from `@uncaged/workflow-util`
+- **Static imports only** — no `await import()` in production code
+- **Biome** for lint + format — run `bun run check` before committing
+

 A stateless workflow engine driven by a single-step CLI. Workflows are YAML definitions with roles, status-based routing, and a directed graph. Threads are immutable CAS-linked chains — each `uwf thread step` runs one moderator→agent→extract cycle and exits.

 Agents are pluggable CLI binaries (`uwf-hermes`, `uwf-builtin`, `uwf-claude-code`, or custom commands). The engine spawns the configured agent with `<thread-id>` and `<role>`, sets `UWF_EDGE_PROMPT` from the graph transition, and captures both the agent's markdown output and a detail CAS node for session replay.

+8. **Configuration** (if applicable)
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### Step 1: Gather current state
+For each package read:
+- package.json (name, version, description, dependencies, bin)
+- src/index.ts (public API exports)
+- Existing README.md (preserve hand-written content worth keeping)
+
+### Step 2: Update root README
+- Ensure ALL packages in packages/ directory are listed in the table
+- Update CLI command reference from uwf --help output
+- Keep Quick Start examples valid
+
+### Step 3: Write/update each package README
+- Follow the per-package structure
+- API section MUST match actual src/index.ts exports — never invent
+- For agent packages: document CLI binary name, how it is invoked
+- For lib packages: document exported types and functions
+- Internal structure: list actual files in src/
+
+### Step 4: Verify
+- All relative links work
+- Package names match package.json
+- No references to removed/renamed packages
+- bun run build still passes
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Only document what src/index.ts actually exports
+- Root README summarizes, package READMEs go into detail
+- Verify CLI examples against actual commands
+- Preserve existing good prose when updating
+- English for all README content
