xiaoju dacecfbbb7 feat: create .workflows/solve-issue.yaml
TDD-driven issue resolution workflow with 5 roles:
- planner: analyzes issue, outputs TDD test spec (stored in CAS)
- developer: implements code following TDD
- reviewer: code standards compliance check (not functionality)
- tester: functional correctness verification
- committer: commits and creates PR

Graph handles bounce-backs: reviewer→developer, tester→developer,
tester→planner (fix_spec), committer→developer (hook_failed).

xiaoju c0ac4ade09 fix(uwf-agent-hermes): consume outputFormatInstruction in prompt

xiaoju d5f47d1a18 feat(workflow-util-agent): two-layer frontmatter safeguard in adapter
Phase 2 of RFC #351 — adapter tries frontmatter first (zero LLM cost),
falls back to runtime.extract() when frontmatter is missing/invalid.

- tryFrontmatterMeta(): parse → validate → schema.safeParse
- Happy path stores body (no frontmatter) in CAS
- Fallback stores full raw in CAS + LLM extract
- 5 tests covering both paths

xiaoju cf9e2cd3d6 fix: parse session_id from stderr (hermes --quiet writes it there)
hermes --quiet outputs session_id to stderr and AI response to stdout.
The agent was only parsing stdout, so session_id was never found and
detail always fell back to raw output.

Now checks stderr first, then stdout as fallback.

xiaoju 546237db85 fix: parseSessionIdFromStdout scans all lines, not just last
--quiet mode outputs session_id on the first line, not the last.
The old code only checked the last non-empty line and broke immediately
if it didn't match, causing session detail to always be empty.

Fixes the empty detail bug when hermes agent runs in quiet mode.

goal: "You are a planning agent. You analyze Gitea issues and produce a TDD test specification that downstream roles will implement and verify."
capabilities:
- issue-analysis
- planning
procedure: |
On first run (no previous steps):
1. Read the issue and all comments from Gitea using `tea issues <number> -r <owner/repo>`
2. Read CLAUDE.md (or equivalent project conventions file) to understand coding standards
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 and terminate
5. If sufficient: produce a detailed TDD test spec in markdown covering all scenarios
On subsequent runs (bounced back by tester with fix_spec):
1. Read the tester's output from the previous step to understand what's wrong with the spec
2. Revise the test spec accordingly
After producing the test spec:
1. Store it via `uwf cas put "<markdown content>"` and capture the returned hash
2. Put the hash in meta.plan (required when status=ready)
output: "Output a brief summary of the test spec. Frontmatter must include: status (ready or insufficient_info) and plan (CAS hash of the test spec, required when status=ready)."

1. Read the test spec from CAS: `uwf cas get <plan hash>` (find the hash from the latest planner step's meta.plan)
2. If bounced back from reviewer or tester: read the previous role's output to understand what needs fixing
3. Write tests first based on the spec
4. Implement the code to make tests pass
5. Ensure `bun run build` passes with no errors

Hard checks (must all pass):
1. `bun run build` — no build errors
2. `bunx biome check` — no lint violations
3. TypeScript strict mode — no type errors
Soft checks (review against CLAUDE.md conventions):
- Functional-first: `function` + `type`, not `class` + `interface`
- No optional properties (`?:`) — use `T | null`
- Naming conventions (kebab-case files, PascalCase types, camelCase functions)
- Module boundary discipline (folder exports via index.ts)
- No `console.log` (use structured logger)
- No dynamic imports in production code
Only review standards compliance. Do NOT test functionality.

2. Read the test spec from CAS: `uwf cas get <plan hash>` (find the hash from the latest planner step's meta.plan)
3. Verify each scenario in the spec is covered and passing
4. Determine outcome:
- passed: all scenarios verified, tests pass
- fix_code: tests fail or implementation doesn't match spec → send back to developer

## Project Overview
This monorepo implements a workflow engine that executes single-file ESM bundles. Each workflow is a self-contained `.esm.js` file with an XXH64 hash as its version identifier. Shared types live in `@uncaged/workflow-protocol`; bundle authors typically depend on `@uncaged/workflow-runtime`.
This monorepo implements a stateless workflow engine driven by a single-step CLI (`uwf`). Workflows are **YAML definitions** stored as CAS nodes; threads are immutable chains of CAS-linked step nodes. No daemon — each `uwf thread step` invocation runs one moderator→agent→extract cycle and exits.
### Key Terms
| Concept | What it is |
|---------|-----------|
| **Workflow** | A single-file ESM module that exports `run` (workflow function) and `descriptor` (metadata). Identified by its XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32). |
| **Bundle** | The physical `.esm.js` file stored in `~/.uncaged/workflow/bundles/`. |
| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. State lives in CAS (linked nodes); active threads indexed in `threads.json`; completed rows in `history/*.jsonl`. Debug logs use `.info.jsonl`. |
| **Role** | A named actor within a workflow. Each role produces output with typed `meta`. |
| **Registry** | `workflow.yaml` — maps workflow names to current/historical bundle hashes. |
| **Workflow** | A YAML definition (`WorkflowPayload`) with roles, conditions, and a routing graph. Stored as a CAS node, identified by its XXH64 hash. |
| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. State is an immutable CAS chain; active threads indexed in `threads.yaml`; completed threads in `history.jsonl`. |
| **Role** | A named actor within a workflow. Each role has a system prompt and a JSON Schema `outputSchema`. |
| **Moderator** | JSONata-based graph evaluator — determines the next role (or `$END`) with zero LLM cost. |
| **Agent** | An external CLI command (`uwf-hermes`, etc.) spawned by `uwf thread step`. Produces frontmatter markdown output. |
| **CAS** | Content-Addressed Storage via `@uncaged/json-cas` — all workflow definitions, thread nodes, and outputs are immutable CAS nodes. |
| **Registry** | `~/.uncaged/workflow/registry.yaml` — maps workflow names to current CAS hashes. |

uwf thread step <thread-id>
uncaged-workflow workflow add — register bundle locally
uncaged-workflow run — execute workflow
moderator → agent → extract — one step per invocation, repeat until $END
```
1. **Monorepo changes**`bun changeset` (describe change) → `bun version` (bump) → `bun release` (publish)
2. **Workspace** `bun install` fetches latest from npmjs

# @uncaged/workflow
A workflow engine that executes single-file ESM bundles. Each workflow is a self-contained `.esm.js` file identified by its XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32).
A stateless workflow engine driven by a single-step CLI. Workflows are YAML definitions with roles, JSONata routing conditions, and a directed graph. Threads are immutable CAS-linked chains — each `uwf thread step` runs one moderator→agent→extract cycle and exits.
## Core Concepts

## Overview
A workflow engine that executes single-file ESM bundles. Each workflow is a self-contained `.esm.js` file identified by its XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32). No daemon — processes start on demand and exit when done.
A stateless workflow engine driven by a single-step CLI. Workflows are YAML definitions stored as CAS nodes; threads are immutable chains of CAS-linked step nodes. No daemon — each `uwf thread step` invocation runs one moderator→agent→extract cycle and exits.
The implementation lives in **21** Bun workspace packages under `packages/`, using the `workspace:*` protocol.
The implementation lives in **6** active packages under `packages/`, plus two external CAS packages (`@uncaged/json-cas`, `@uncaged/json-cas-fs`). Legacy packages reside in `legacy-packages/` and are not part of the active stack.
## Package map
Grouped by responsibility (npm name → folder).
| Layer | Package | One-line role |

## Workflow definition
- `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent``@uncaged/workflow-runtime`
- `@uncaged/workflow-agent-llm``@uncaged/workflow-runtime`
- `@uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor``@uncaged/workflow-runtime`, `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`, `zod`
- `@uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes``@uncaged/workflow-runtime`, `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`

- `@uncaged/workflow-template-solve-issue``@uncaged/workflow-register`, `@uncaged/workflow-runtime`, `zod` (dev-only workspace deps: `@uncaged/workflow-cas`, `@uncaged/workflow-execute` for tests/tooling per `package.json`)
Workflows are **YAML files** (not ESM bundles). `uwf workflow put <file.yaml>` parses the YAML, registers output schemas as JSON Schema CAS nodes, and stores the `WorkflowPayload` as a CAS node.
## Package roles (detail)
Example (`examples/solve-issue.yaml`):
- **`workflow-protocol`** — Pure types (`WorkflowFn`, contexts, `CasStore` interface, descriptor shapes), `START` / `END`, `ok` / `err`. Depends only on peer `zod` for schema-related types in signatures.
- **`workflow-runtime`** — Workflow author surface: `createWorkflow` from `src/create-workflow.js`, re-exports protocol types/constants used when authoring bundles.
- **`workflow-util`** — Cross-cutting utilities: Crockford Base32, ULID, `createLogger`, `getDefaultWorkflowStorageRoot`, `getGlobalCasDir`, ref normalization; re-exports `ok`/`err` from protocol.

## Three-phase engine loop
Each role round is implemented in `packages/workflow-runtime/src/create-workflow.ts` (`advanceOneRound`): moderator → agent → extractor, with progressive context types from `@uncaged/workflow-protocol`.
Each `uwf thread step` runs exactly one cycle: moderator → agent → extract. The CLI orchestrates this in `packages/cli-workflow/src/commands/thread.ts` (`cmdThreadStep`).
```
┌─→ Phase 1: MODERATOR
Context: ModeratorContext { threadId, depth, start, steps }
Action: moderator(ctx) → role name | END
Input: WorkflowPayload + ModeratorContext { start, steps[] }
Engine: JSONata conditions evaluated against the graph
│ Output: next role name | $END
│ Phase 2: AGENT
Context: AgentContext = ModeratorCtx + { currentRole: { name, systemPrompt } }
Action: agent(ctx) → raw string
Input: thread-id + role (via argv)
Engine: agent-kit builds context from CAS chain, prepends
│ output format instruction to system prompt, spawns agent
│ Output: raw string (frontmatter markdown)
│ Phase 3: EXTRACTOR
Context: ExtractContext = AgentCtx + { agentContent }
Action: runtime.extract(schema, extractPrompt, ctx) → typed meta
│ Phase 3: EXTRACT
Input: raw agent output + role's meta schema
Engine: two-layer extract (frontmatter fast path → LLM fallback)
│ Output: CasRef to structured output node

### Context types (progressive)
### Context types
Defined in `packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts`:
```typescript
type ModeratorContext<M> = ThreadContext<M>;
type AgentContext<M> = ModeratorContext<M> & {
currentRole: { name: string; systemPrompt: string };
type StepContext = {
role: string;
output: unknown; // CAS node payload, expanded (not hash)
detail: CasRef;
agent: string;
};
type ModeratorContext = {
start: StartNodePayload; // { workflow: CasRef, prompt: string }
steps: StepContext[]; // chronological, oldest first
};
type AgentContext = ModeratorContext & {
threadId: ThreadId;
role: string;
store: Store;
workflow: WorkflowPayload;
outputFormatInstruction: string;
};
type ExtractContext<M> = AgentContext<M> & { agentContent: string };
```
### Key properties
- **Moderator is synchronous and pure** — no I/O, no state mutation inside `createWorkflow`’s moderator call path.
- **Agent receives `AgentContext`** — reads `ctx.currentRole.systemPrompt`; raw output becomes `agentContent` for extract.
- **Extractor is `WorkflowRuntime.extract`** — supplied by the engine from registry-resolved LLM config (`workflow-execute`); stores agent body in CAS and yields `contentHash` + `refs` on each step (`create-workflow.ts`).
- **`extractPrompt` is a call parameter** on `RoleDefinition`, not implicit context state.
- **Moderator** — pure JSONata evaluation; no LLM call, no I/O beyond CAS reads. Evaluates `workflow.graph[currentRole]` transitions in order, returns first match.
- **Agent** — receives `AgentContext` with thread history + role system prompt + output format instruction. Raw output is frontmatter markdown.
- **Extractor** — two-layer: tries frontmatter fast-path first (zero LLM cost), falls back to LLM extract if frontmatter is absent or invalid.
- **Stateless** — each `uwf thread step` is an atomic, self-contained operation. No in-memory state between steps.
## Agent information sources
## Agent CLI protocol
An agent has exactly three information sources:
Each agent is an external command invoked by `uwf thread step`:
1. **Prior knowledge** — LLM training, agent memory, agent skills
2. **Thread context**`AgentContext` (`start`, `steps`, `currentRole`)
3. **Derived information** — from 1 & 2 (e.g. tool calls, shell commands)
No hidden environment parameters. If an agent needs something (like a workspace path), it obtains it via `ExtractFn` (e.g. Cursor agent).
## Bundle contract
A workflow bundle is a single `.esm.js` file with two named exports (see `WorkflowFn` / `WorkflowDescriptor` in `packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts`):
```typescript
export const descriptor: WorkflowDescriptor;
export const run: WorkflowFn;
type WorkflowFn = (
thread: ThreadContext,
runtime: WorkflowRuntime,
) => AsyncGenerator<RoleOutput, WorkflowCompletion>;
```bash
<agent-cmd> <thread-id> <role>
```
`RoleOutput` carries `contentHash`, `meta`, and `refs` (agent text lives in CAS, addressed by hash).
Contract:
1. `uwf thread step` determines the next role via the moderator
2. Agent CLI is spawned with `(thread-id, role)` as positional args
3. `workflow-agent-kit` (`createAgent`) handles the boilerplate:
- Parses argv
- Loads `.env` from storage root
- Builds `AgentContext` by walking the CAS chain from `threads.yaml` head
- Resolves the role's `meta` schema and builds `outputFormatInstruction`
- Calls the agent's `run` function
- Runs two-layer extract on the raw output
- Writes `StepNode` to CAS (output + detail + prev link)
- Prints the new `StepNode` CAS hash to stdout
4. `uwf thread step` reads stdout, updates `threads.yaml` head pointer, re-evaluates moderator for `done`
5. Exit 0 = success, non-zero = failure
### Constraints
Agent resolution priority: `--agent` CLI override → `config.yaml` per-workflow/role override → `config.yaml` `defaultAgent`.
- Single `.esm.js` file
- No dynamic `import()` in bundles (loader exempt in engine)
- Portable bundle static imports are constrained by validation in `@uncaged/workflow-register` (`validateWorkflowBundle`)
- XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32) = version ID
## Agent output format: frontmatter markdown (RFC #351)
### Why AsyncGenerator?
Agents produce **frontmatter markdown** — YAML frontmatter for structured meta, followed by a markdown body for content:
- Each `yield` lets `workflow-execute` persist state, CAS rows, and enforce pause/abort
- `return` supplies `WorkflowCompletion`
- Fork replays historical steps into a new thread context
- Bundle does not import the engine — only protocol/runtime types at build time
```markdown

status: done
next: reviewer
confidence: 0.9

## Implementation
Fixed the login redirect by updating the auth middleware...
```
The `outputFormatInstruction` (built by `buildOutputFormatInstruction` in `workflow-agent-kit`) is prepended to the role's system prompt, so the deliverable format is the first thing the agent sees. It lists the expected frontmatter fields derived from the role's `meta` JSON Schema.
## Two-layer extract
Structured output extraction uses a two-layer strategy (`workflow-agent-kit`):
### Layer 1: frontmatter fast path (`frontmatter.ts`)
1. Parse YAML frontmatter from raw agent output (`parseFrontmatterMarkdown`)
2. Validate required fields (`validateFrontmatter`)
3. Build a candidate object from frontmatter fields (`status`, `next`, `confidence`, `artifacts`, `scope`)
4. `store.put()` the candidate against the role's `meta` schema
5. Validate with `json-cas` schema validation
6. If valid → return `outputHash` (zero LLM cost)
### Layer 2: LLM extract fallback (`extract.ts`)
If the fast path returns `null` (no frontmatter, invalid, or doesn't satisfy schema):
1. Resolve extract model alias from config (`modelOverrides.extract``models.extract``defaultModel`)
2. Call OpenAI-compatible chat completion with JSON mode
3. System prompt: "Extract structured data matching this JSON Schema: ..."
4. User message: the raw agent output
5. Parse response, `store.put()`, validate
6. Return `outputHash`
## Prompt injection
`workflow-agent-kit` prepends two pieces of context to the agent's system prompt:
1. **Deliverable format instruction** — generated from the role's `meta` schema, tells the agent exactly what frontmatter fields to produce and the expected format
2. **Scope constraint** — "Focus exclusively on YOUR role's deliverable. Do not perform actions outside your role's scope."
This ensures agents produce parseable frontmatter output without requiring per-agent format knowledge.

### Mutable state
Only three files carry mutable state:
| File | Contents |
|------|----------|
| `threads.yaml` | `Record<ThreadId, CasRef>` — maps active thread IDs to head node hash |
| `history.jsonl` | Append-only log of completed threads (`thread`, `workflow`, `head`, `completedAt`) |
| `registry.yaml` | Workflow name → current CAS hash |
Everything else is immutable CAS content.
### ID encoding: Crockford Base32
- Case-insensitive, filesystem-safe, no ambiguous chars (0/O, 1/I/L)
- Bundle hash: XXH64 → 13-char
- Thread ID: ULID → 26-char (10 timestamp + 16 random)
- CAS hash: XXH64 → 13-char Crockford Base32
- Thread ID: ULID → 26-char Crockford Base32 (10 timestamp + 16 random)
### Registry (`workflow.yaml`)
### Config (`config.yaml`)
Managed by `@uncaged/workflow-register` (`readWorkflowRegistry`, `writeWorkflowRegistry`, …). Shape includes workflow entries and a top-level `config` section used for extract/supervisor model resolution.
```yaml
providers:
openrouter:
baseUrl: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
apiKeyEnv: "OPENROUTER_API_KEY"
### Thread storage (CAS + index)
models:
sonnet:
provider: "openrouter"
name: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
gpt4o-mini:
provider: "openai"
name: "gpt-4o-mini"
Thread execution state is a chain of immutable CAS nodes (`StartNode`, `StateNode`, content Merkle blobs). Per bundle:
agents:
hermes:
command: "uwf-hermes"
args: []
cursor:
command: "uwf-cursor"
args: []
- **`threads.json`** — only in-flight threads (`head`, `start`, `updatedAt`).
- **`history/{YYYY-MM-DD}.jsonl`** — completed threads (`threadId`, `head`, `start`, `completedAt`).
- **CAS (`cas/`)** — payloads and refs for replay, GC, and fork sharing.
defaultAgent: "hermes"
agentOverrides:
solve-issue:
developer: "cursor"
**`.info.jsonl`** — Structured debug log via `@uncaged/workflow-util` `createLogger`:
```jsonc
{ "tag": "4KNMR2PX", "content": "Loading bundle...", "timestamp": ... }
defaultModel: "sonnet"
modelOverrides:
extract: "gpt4o-mini"
```
Tags are 8-char Crockford Base32 (40-bit random), one per call site. `grep "4KNMR2PX"` → code location.
## Execution model
- **No daemon.** `uncaged-workflow run <name>` starts a worker process (`workflow-execute` worker entry via `getWorkerHostScriptPath`)
- Threads share bundle-scoped workers as implemented in CLI/engine
- Pause/resume/abort via engine IPC and pause gate (`createThreadPauseGate`)

|------|---------|
| **bun** | Package manager + runtime |
| **TypeScript** | Type checking (strict mode) |
| **Biome** | Lint + format |
| **vitest** | Test runner |
## Design decisions
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| **Role = pure data** | Decouples definition from execution; same role with different agents |
| **Agent bound at runtime** | `WorkflowDefinition` is reusable; agent choice is deployment concern |
| **Three-phase context** | Each phase sees only what it needs; types live in `workflow-protocol` |
| **`WorkflowRuntime.extract` + CAS `contentHash`** | Large agent bodies deduplicated globally; Merkle roots summarize threads |
| **`workflow-reactor` split** | LLM tool-calling loop isolated from filesystem/registry concerns |
| **Single-file ESM** | Hash = version, self-contained bundle |
| **No daemon** | OS handles process lifecycle |
| **Crockford Base32** | Filesystem-safe, readable, compact |
| **21-package split** | Clear boundaries: protocol ↔ runtime author API ↔ util/CAS/register ↔ execute ↔ CLI ↔ agents/templates/UI |
| **YAML workflow definitions** | Human-readable, versionable, no build step required. JSON Schema inline in YAML, registered as CAS nodes on `workflow put`. |
| **Stateless single-step CLI** | Each `uwf thread step` is atomic — no in-memory state, no daemon, no long-running process. OS handles lifecycle. |
| **CAS-backed thread state** | Immutable linked nodes enable fork, replay, and GC without copying data. Content-addressed deduplication across threads. |
| **JSONata moderator** | Declarative condition expressions evaluated against thread history. No LLM cost for routing decisions. |
| **Frontmatter markdown output** | Agents produce structured meta (YAML frontmatter) alongside free-form content (markdown body). Enables zero-cost extraction when frontmatter is well-formed. |
| **Two-layer extract** | Fast path avoids LLM calls when agents follow the format; LLM fallback handles messy output gracefully. |
| **Prompt injection for format** | Output format instruction prepended to system prompt ensures agents produce parseable output without per-agent configuration. |
| **JSON Schema (not Zod)** | Schemas are CAS-native data — storable, hashable, validatable through `json-cas`. No code generation, no runtime library dependency. |
| **Agent as external command** | Agents are independent CLI binaries (`uwf-hermes`, `uwf-cursor`). Swappable per workflow/role via config. No tight coupling to the engine. |
| **No daemon** | Process starts, does one step, exits. Simpler failure model, no connection management. |
| **Crockford Base32** | Filesystem-safe, case-insensitive, readable, compact. |
