## Changes
### lib/templates.ts (AGENTS.md template)
- Added 'Critical: You Do NOT Write Code' section to orchestrator instructions
- Listed what orchestrator CAN do (planning, analysis, status checks)
- Listed what MUST go through workers (code, git ops, tests)
- Added 'Never write code yourself' to Safety section
### README.md
- Added 'The orchestrator's role' section explaining the workflow boundary
- Table showing what goes through workers vs orchestrator
- Explained why: audit trail, tier selection, parallelization, QA pipeline
### docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
- Updated scope boundaries diagram to show 'planning only' for orchestrator
- Added key boundary note about planner/dispatcher role
Addresses issue #133
Auto-chaining was removed from the codebase. All docs now describe the
scheduling model: work_finish transitions labels, the heartbeat's tick
pass (which also fires immediately after every work_finish) detects
available work and fills free slots. Removed autoChain config references.
Files updated: README.md, README2.md, docs/TOOLS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md,
ROADMAP.md, MANAGEMENT.md, ONBOARDING.md, lib/templates.ts

- Updated WorkerState type to use 'level' instead of 'tier'.
- Modified functions related to worker state management, including parseWorkerState, emptyWorkerState, getSessionForLevel, activateWorker, and deactivateWorker to reflect the new terminology.
- Adjusted health check logic to utilize 'level' instead of 'tier'.
- Refactored tick and setup tools to accommodate the change from 'tier' to 'level', including model configuration and workspace scaffolding.
- Updated tests to ensure consistency with the new 'level' terminology.
- Revised documentation and comments to reflect the changes in terminology from 'tier' to 'level'.
- Introduced a new heartbeat service that runs at defined intervals to perform health checks on workers and fill available task slots based on priority.
- Added a health tool to scan worker health across projects with optional auto-fix capabilities.
- Updated the status tool to provide a lightweight overview of worker states and queue counts without health checks.
- Enhanced task creation tool descriptions to clarify task state handling.
- Implemented tests for the work heartbeat logic, ensuring proper project resolution, worker state management, and task prioritization.
Remove hard-coded auto-chain dispatch (DEV done→QA, QA fail→DEV) and
replace with a general-purpose projectTick service that scans the queue
and fills free worker slots after every state transition.
- Create lib/services/tick.ts: consolidates shared helpers and core
projectTick() function from duplicated code in work-start/auto-pickup
- work_finish: replaces auto-chain block with projectTick call
- work_start: adds projectTick after dispatch to fill parallel slots
- auto_pickup: delegates per-project loop to projectTick
- Remove autoChain from Project type, migration code, and project-register
- Remove scheduling config dependency from work_finish
- Net -112 lines: simpler, self-healing pipeline

- Updated import paths for task management providers in task-comment, task-create, and task-update tools.
- Removed deprecated task-complete and task-pickup tools, replacing them with work-finish and work-start tools for improved task handling.
- Enhanced work-finish and work-start tools to streamline task completion and pickup processes, including context-aware detection and auto-scheduling features.
- Updated package.json to include build scripts and main entry point.
- Modified tsconfig.json to enable output directory, declaration files, and source maps for better TypeScript support.
- Expanded DEFAULT_DEV_INSTRUCTIONS with more detailed context and explicit
warning about not using 'Closes #X', 'Fixes #X', 'Resolves #X'
- Added 'Fixes issue #X' to the list of prohibited closing keywords
- Added new 'Worker Task Templates' section to AGENTS_MD_TEMPLATE with
explicit CRITICAL warning about closing keywords in PR/MR descriptions
- Updated workflow steps to reinforce proper issue referencing:
Use 'As described in issue #X' or 'Addresses issue #X' instead
This prevents GitHub from auto-closing issues when PRs merge, ensuring
DevClaw's task_complete validation and QA workflow are not bypassed.
As described in issue: #24
- Added explicit warning to DEFAULT_DEV_INSTRUCTIONS
- Added warning to AGENTS_MD_TEMPLATE conventions section
- Workers instructed to use 'As described in issue #X' instead of 'Closes #X'
- Prevents GitHub/GitLab from auto-closing issues before QA validation
- Replaced raw model aliases with developer tiers (junior, medior, senior, qa) in dispatch and model selection logic.
- Updated `dispatchTask` to resolve models based on tiers and plugin configuration.
- Modified `selectModel` to return tier names instead of model aliases based on task description.
- Implemented migration logic for transitioning from old model aliases to new tier names in worker state.
- Added setup logic for agent creation and model configuration in `setup.ts`.
- Created shared templates for workspace files and instructions for DEV/QA workers.
- Enhanced project registration to scaffold role files based on developer tiers.
- Updated task management tools to reflect changes in model selection and tier assignment.
- Introduced a new `devclaw_setup` tool for agent-driven setup and configuration.
- Updated plugin configuration schema to support model mapping per developer tier.
