Purpose

Wave-2 P1: give each volk (Cx/BA/PM/Ux/Ar/Cd/Junior/Qa/Cp) a distinct persona + per-volk tools

Objectives

Work log

  1. Volk audit complete (subagent, all 9 LLM volks): personas exist but have real defects
    • Findings: (1) team preamble missing from 4 volks that call llm/client directly (Architect via call_reasoner, QA/Junior/CD-review via call_llm); (2) tools only invoked on _call_llm_with_tools path — ONLY Documentor uses it, so AGENT_TOOLS is dead policy for 8/9; (3) PM prompt has literal {{ }} brace bug; (4) stale Python versions (Cx/BA/Ar 3.11, QA 3.13 vs repo 3.14); (5) Architect persona advertises TOOLS AVAILABLE that never fire; (6) CODEDIRECTOR_SYSTEM_PROMPT + CODE_REVIEW_PROMPT are dead-but-tested (leave). Plan: sharpen prompts + fix defects + wrap compose_persona at 5 direct call sites (idempotent, no routing change) + add validate_mermaid tool for Documentor + retune AGENT_TOOLS + tests.
  2. Wave-2 volk persona + per-volk tool optimization implemented
    • Sharpened personas + fixed real defects: PM literal {{ }} brace bug; stale Python versions (Cx/BA/Ar 3.11, QA 3.13 -> 3.12+); removed Architect's false 'TOOLS AVAILABLE/use tools BEFORE designing' block (called via call_reasoner, tools never fire). Normalized the team preamble for the 4 volks that call llm/client directly (Architect x2, QA test-gen, Junior review, CD self-review) by wrapping compose_persona at the call site (idempotent, no routing change, test-safe). Added validate_mermaid tool (real dependency-free structural validator: type header + bracket balance) wired to Documentor (the one volk that runs the tool loop). 11 new tests incl. Junior/CD preamble regressions; 2454 agents + 18 tools tests green; ruff/pyright/standards/check-deps clean.
  3. Spec-reconciliation of the volk-optimization swarm output + my session-197 guesses
    • Read specs 013/027/029/030/031/103. Corrections: FIX-1 restored CODING_STANDARDS + REQ-027-031 trace to junior DESIGN_REVIEW_PROMPT (swarm dropped it AND wrote a test asserting the drop — verify went green on a spec violation); flipped that test. FIX-2 Python 3.12+ -> 3.14+ across Cx/BA/Ar/Qa prompts (REQ-030-041: generated venv is 3.14t; my 3.12 was a guess). VP-B1 UX design-path subject implement -> ux_complete (REQ-013-030); passthrough stays implement (REQ-013-006); updated tests. Retired the 'route volks through tools' backlog item: SPEC-103 says the volk pipeline is greenfield-by-design (whole-file gen via drivers), tool-calling is a separate Draft refactor capability — my reachability framing was wrong. 2498 agents tests pass; ruff/pyright/standards/check-deps clean.
  4. Wired the SPEC-031 LLM code-review step (US-031-003)
    • CODE_REVIEW_PROMPT + parsers existed but were dead; QA ran only the 3 deterministic gates. Added _run_llm_code_review() (via injectable _call_llm seam: volk=U:Qa, temp=0.0, graph_context — REQ-031-039/040/041/042) and wired it into _handle_review after import-validation, before the from_test_fix branch so it runs every cycle (REQ-031-043). Fixed the stale 'skip LLM review on test-fix' comment. QaVolk.init now takes **kwargs (sibling-consistent, enables _call_llm= injection); test_results annotation dict->str|None (cleared 2 pyright errors). Committed 61a72049.
  5. VP-B4: verified the SPEC-103 refactor capability against all FRs; closed the untested-loop gap
    • Read SPEC-103 fully. Found the capability already BUILT (refactor/tools.py sandboxed RefactorTools+TOOL_SCHEMAS FR-003/004; refactor/agent.py tool-use loop+REFACTOR_SYSTEM_PROMPT+refactor()/arefactor() FR-005/006/007/008; Message/ProviderResponse tool fields FR-001; deepseek_adapter serialize/parse FR-002 — all with @traces REQ-103-*). The ONE real gap: agent.py (loop+entry point) had ZERO tests (DoD TST-103-006 unmet). Added tests/refactor/test_agent.py (8: no-tool-calls completion, tool-exec+history+real edit, max_iterations, injected tool-error survival, verified-from-run_check, sync error path, happy path). 29 refactor tests pass; gates clean. Committed f8d32e46.
  6. Set up two-tier build model (Opus orchestrates, Sonnet 5 builds) + kicked off autonomous backlog work
    • Created .claude/agents/builder.md (model: sonnet, encodes project hard rules + gate checklist). Recorded the working-agreement memory. Surveyed backlog: all P1 subsystems (communication.py, context_injector.py, KG nodes.py) are IMPLEMENTED — the pattern is 'built but untested', so spec-gap remediation = closing test/verification gaps. Delegated the first build to a Sonnet builder: test the untested SPEC-103 FR-009 refactor dispatch (REQ-103-025, _handle_refactor).
  7. Reviewed + committed the Sonnet-built FR-009 dispatch tests (963d1cb9)
    • Opus review caught a purity violation the builder's gate list missed (monkeypatch.setenv flagged by audit_test_purity.py); fixed with a read-only-env assertion (cleaner, no global mutation). Independently re-ran all gates incl. purity + the 2 sibling broker suites (52 pass, no arefactor-swap leak). SPEC-103 now complete end-to-end (impl + tests): tools, loop, entry point, protocol/adapter, and FR-009 broker dispatch.
  8. Communication P1 analysis: messaging + WS heartbeat done; volk-registry heartbeat is dormant
    • volk<->volk messaging (AgentCommunication) built+tested. WS-gateway heartbeat (SPEC-014 REQ-014-106..109) built+tested. volk-registry health/heartbeat (kernel/volk_registry.py: record_heartbeat, get_volk_health, VolkHealth, VolkStatus) built + unit-tested (test_volk_registry_extended.py, 6 call sites) BUT dormant — grep shows ZERO src callers of record_heartbeat; its @traces(spec=001, reqs=[REQ-007-007, REQ-007-FR5-003]) points at unrelated reqs (proof-verification / privacy-detection) = placeholder trace, no governing spec. Wiring it (trigger + consumer) is a design decision — surfaced to user.
  9. Context-injection gap analysis (via read-only Explore agent)
    • KG-context path (SPEC-009 ContextInjector + SPEC-008 semantic layer) fully built+wired+tested. Memory recall (SPEC-010) wired ONLY via base._call_llm — absent from _call_reasoner (architect, senior_dev) + _call_llm_with_tools tools branch + volks calling module-level call_llm/call_reasoner directly (codedirector, junior, qa testgen/summary, documentor); base->recall fold UNTESTED. VolkContextInjector (~450 LOC task-typed SPEC-009) fully built + tested-in-isolation but COMPLETELY UNWIRED (superseded by ContextInjector). SessionContext.inject_context dormant (out of scope).
  10. Reviewed + committed heartbeat wiring (c79b10b0)
