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

-# 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`

+# 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:

+    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.

-`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.
