feat(cli): unify uwf CAS store with global json-cas store

This resolves issue #573 by moving uwf's CAS directory from
~/.uncaged/workflow/cas/ to the shared ~/.uncaged/json-cas/ location.

Changes:
- Added getGlobalCasDir() function with UNCAGED_CAS_DIR support
- Updated createUwfStore() to use global CAS directory
- Added comprehensive test coverage (11 new tests)
- Updated all existing tests for environment isolation
- Updated documentation (CLAUDE.md, README.md)

Benefits:
- Cross-tool visibility: json-cas CLI can read uwf-created nodes
- Schema sharing: both tools access same schema registry
- Future-proofing: enables json-cas render/verbose for uwf data

Fixes #573

+# UWF Bootstrap Guide
+
+This guide helps any AI agent set up `uwf` (Uncaged Workflow) from scratch — or self-check and upgrade an existing installation.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **bun** — `uwf` is built with bun. Install: `curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash`
+- **Network access** — to install npm packages
+
+> **Already have uwf?** Jump to [Self-Check & Upgrade](#self-check--upgrade).
+
+---
+
+## Fresh Install
+
+### 1. Install uwf CLI
+
+```bash
+bun install -g @uncaged/cli-workflow
+```
+
+✅ **Check:** `uwf --version` prints a version number (e.g. `0.5.1`).
+
+### 2. Install Agent Adapter
+
+Install the adapter that matches your agent runtime. Pick **one**:
+
+| Agent | Package | Binary |
+|-------|---------|--------|
+| Hermes | `@uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes` | `uwf-hermes` |
+
+```bash
+# Example: Hermes agent
+bun install -g @uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes
+```
+
+✅ **Check:** `uwf-hermes --version` prints a version number.
+
+### 3. Setup
+
+Run the interactive wizard:
+
+```bash
+uwf setup
+```
+
+Or configure non-interactively:
+
+```bash
+uwf setup \
+  --provider <name> \
+  --base-url <url> \
+  --api-key <key> \
+  --model <model-name> \
+  --agent hermes
+```
+
+This creates `~/.uncaged/workflow/config.yaml` with your provider, model, and default agent.
+
+#### Config Structure
+
+```yaml
+providers:
+  my-provider:
+    baseUrl: https://api.example.com/v1
+    apiKey: sk-xxx
+models:
+  default:
+    provider: my-provider
+    name: my-model
+agents:
+  hermes:
+    command: uwf-hermes
+    args: []
+defaultAgent: hermes
+defaultModel: default
+```
+
+✅ **Check:** `cat ~/.uncaged/workflow/config.yaml` shows valid provider, model, and agent config.
+
+### 4. Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+uwf workflow list    # should return empty array or existing workflows
+uwf skill user       # prints usage guide
+uwf skill author     # prints workflow authoring guide
+```
+
+✅ **Check:** All three commands run without errors.
+
+### 5. Add the uwf Skill
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.hermes/skills/devops/uwf
+uwf skill bootstrap > ~/.hermes/skills/devops/uwf/SKILL.md
+```
+
+✅ **Check:** `cat ~/.hermes/skills/devops/uwf/SKILL.md` shows the skill content with triggers `uwf`, `workflow`, `工作流`.
+
+### 6. Smoke Test
+
+```bash
+# Register an example workflow
+uwf workflow add examples/analyze-topic.yaml
+
+# Start a thread
+uwf thread start analyze-topic -p "Analyze the concept of technical debt"
+
+# Execute it (one moderator → agent → extract cycle)
+uwf thread exec <thread-id>
+```
+
+✅ **Check:** Thread reaches `completed` status. Verify with `uwf thread list`.
+
+---
+
+## Self-Check & Upgrade
+
+Already have uwf installed? Run through this checklist to verify and upgrade.
+
+### Version Check
+
+```bash
+uwf --version
+uwf-hermes --version   # or your agent adapter
+```
+
+Compare with latest published versions:
+
+```bash
+bun pm ls -g | grep -E "cli-workflow|workflow-agent"
+npm info @uncaged/cli-workflow version
+npm info @uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes version
+```
+
+If local version < published version, upgrade:
+
+```bash
+bun install -g @uncaged/cli-workflow@latest
+bun install -g @uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes@latest
+```
+
+✅ **Check:** `uwf --version` matches `npm info @uncaged/cli-workflow version`.
+
+### Config Check
+
+```bash
+cat ~/.uncaged/workflow/config.yaml
+```
+
+Verify:
+- [ ] `providers` has at least one entry with valid `baseUrl` and `apiKey`
+- [ ] `models.default` references an existing provider
+- [ ] `agents` has your adapter configured
+- [ ] `defaultAgent` and `defaultModel` are set
+
+### Skill Check
+
+```bash
+cat ~/.hermes/skills/devops/uwf/SKILL.md
+```
+
+Verify the skill is up to date:
+
+```bash
+uwf skill bootstrap | diff - ~/.hermes/skills/devops/uwf/SKILL.md
+```
+
+If `diff` produces any output, the local skill is outdated. Update:
+
+```bash
+uwf skill bootstrap > ~/.hermes/skills/devops/uwf/SKILL.md
+```
+
+### Functional Check
+
+```bash
+uwf workflow list      # should not error
+uwf skill user         # should print usage guide
+uwf skill author       # should print authoring guide
+```
+
+✅ All green? You're good to go.

 # @uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes
 
-`uwf-hermes` agent — spawns Hermes chat via ACP and captures session detail.
+`uwf-hermes` — an **agent adapter** that bridges the `uwf` workflow engine and the Hermes CLI.
 
 ## Overview
 
-Layer 3 agent implementation. Wraps the Hermes CLI using the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). On first visit to a role it sends a composed prompt (role definition, task, history, edge prompt); on continuation it resumes the cached session. Session transcripts and raw output are stored as CAS detail nodes.
+`uwf-hermes` is an adapter (not the Hermes CLI itself). The `uwf` engine speaks a generic agent protocol (stdin/stdout frontmatter contract); `uwf-hermes` translates that protocol into Hermes ACP (Agent Client Protocol) calls. Other adapters (e.g. `uwf-claude-code`, `uwf-cursor`) do the same for their respective CLIs.
+
+On first visit to a role it sends a composed prompt (role definition, task, history, edge prompt); on continuation it resumes the cached session. Session transcripts and raw output are stored as CAS detail nodes.

+         - Override for test files (`**/__tests__/**`): `noConsole: "off"`, `noExplicitAny: "off"`
+         - `assist.actions.source.organizeImports: "on"`
+         If biome.json already exists, only add missing fields — preserve existing customizations.
+      3. Root scripts must include: `"check"` (should include `biome check .`), `"format": "biome format --write ."`

+
+      Be idempotent — skip steps that are already done.
+
+      ## Part 1: Changesets
+      1. Install: add `@changesets/cli` to root devDependencies (skip if present), run `bun install`
+      2. If `.changeset/config.json` does not exist, run `bunx changeset init`
+      3. Verify `.changeset/config.json` has:
+         - `"access": "public"` (for @scoped packages)
+         - `"baseBranch": "main"`
+      4. Add `.changeset/README.md` if missing
+
+      ## Part 2: Publish Script
+      5. Create `scripts/publish-all.mjs` (skip if already exists and looks correct):
+         - Scan `packages/` for non-private packages (skip `"private": true`)
+         - Determine publish order by resolving workspace dependency graph (dependees before dependents)
+         - For each package in order:
+           a. Replace `"workspace:^"` deps with actual versions from workspace
+           b. Run `npm publish --access public --ignore-scripts` (MUST use --ignore-scripts to bypass prepublishOnly guardrail)
+           c. Restore original package.json
+         - Support flags: `--dry-run`, `--tag <name>`
+         - Handle errors: if one package fails, restore and continue
+      CRITICAL: The publish command MUST include `--ignore-scripts` because the guardrails role adds a `prepublishOnly` script that blocks direct publishing.
+
+      ## Part 3: Root Scripts
+      6. Root scripts must include:
+         - `"changeset": "bunx changeset"`
+         - `"version": "bunx changeset version"`
+         - `"release": "bun run build && bun run test && node scripts/publish-all.mjs"`
+
+      ## Verification
+      You MUST actually run each command below and include real output. Do NOT guess or fabricate results.
+      ```bash
+      # 1. changeset config exists and is valid
+      test -f .changeset/config.json
+      node -e "const c = require('./.changeset/config.json'); console.log('access:', c.access, 'baseBranch:', c.baseBranch)"

+      ## GROUND RULES (read before doing anything)
+      - Only report actions you ACTUALLY performed and files you ACTUALLY created or modified.
+      - If everything is already correctly configured, set $status=skipped.
+      - NEVER fabricate command output. Run every verification command for real and paste the actual stdout/stderr.
+      - After writing a file, run `test -f <path> && echo EXISTS || echo MISSING` to confirm it was actually written.
+
+      cd into the repo path from your task prompt.
+
+      1. Check if `uwf` CLI is available: `which uwf`
+         - If not available: set $status=failed, reason="uwf CLI not installed"
+      2. Check if `.workflows/solve-issue.yaml` already exists:
+         - If it exists and looks correct (has planner/developer/reviewer/tester/committer roles), skip. Set $status=done.
+      3. Create `.workflows/solve-issue.yaml` adapted for this project:
+         - Copy the standard solve-issue workflow structure (planner -> developer -> reviewer -> tester -> committer)
+         - Adjust the developer role procedure to use this project's test runner and build commands
+         - The workflow should reference the correct repo path and build toolchain (bun)
+         NOTE: Place the file in `.workflows/` (dot-prefix), NOT `workflows/`. Do NOT run `uwf workflow add`. The file is used directly via `uwf thread start .workflows/solve-issue.yaml`.
+
+      ## Verification
+      You MUST actually run each command below and include real output. Do NOT guess or fabricate results.
+      ```bash
+      test -f .workflows/solve-issue.yaml
+      node -e "

+
+      3. Assess whether the issue has enough information to produce a test spec
