Closes akashgit#1346

Changes

  • definitions.py: Deleted 17 workflow functions (~3,300 lines): improve, research, meta, discover, review, refine, skill_refine, doc_generate, doc_update, spec_update, frontend_design, frontend_design_scan, frontend_design_discover, evolve, parallel_improve, founder, study_standalone. File reduced from 4,565 to 1,287 lines.
  • Registry: Removed 22 registry entries from _get_builtin_registry(). Surviving entries: design, create, spec-generate, plus all contributed benchmark workflows.
  • skill_export.py: Removed WORKFLOW_META entries for all deleted modes.
  • visualizer/state.py: Removed MODE_PHASES, MODE_AGENT_TO_PHASE, MODE_EVENT_TO_PHASE entries for deleted modes; kept design-mode entries.
  • _mode_handlers.py: Updated _auto_detect_mode() to route all ProjectState values to "design". Removed unused _has_research_target import. Removed workflow_mode args from review/deep-qa handlers (these modes construct tasks inline, not via SKILL.md).
  • _parser_groups.py: Updated --mode help text to list only surviving modes (design, create).
  • CEO routing tables: Updated .claude/CLAUDE.md and factory/agents/prompts/ceo.md to route all states to design mode.
  • cli/spec.py: Removed spec-update workflow reference.
  • Deleted artifacts: factory/agents/prompts/frontend_design/ (13 prompt files), factory/templates/design_checks/ (6 shell scripts), 18 generated skill directories (not tracked in git).
  • Tests: Deleted 6 test files entirely (test_parallel_improve, test_workflow_deep_research, test_workflow_frontend_design, test_workflow_frontend_design_discover, test_workflow_frontend_design_scan, test_evolve_workflow). Updated 13 test files to remove references to deleted functions, fix registry counts, and update mode expectations.

Safety constraints verified

  • build_workflow() function KEPT (called by design_workflow()) — only registry entry removed
  • _study_subgraph(), _deep_qa_subgraph(), _research_subgraph() KEPT — imported by deep_qa.py and research.py
  • Contributed benchmark workflows UNTOUCHED
  • factory/refactory.py UNTOUCHED

* feat: add --no-worktree flag to factory ceo and factory run

Users testing in-flight branch changes had no way to run the CEO
against their working tree — the factory always creates a worktree
from the base branch. This flag skips worktree creation and cleanup,
running the CEO in-place on whatever branch is checked out.

When --no-worktree is set, wt_path = project_path and wt_branch = None.
remove_worktree() calls are guarded to prevent shutil.rmtree() on the
actual project directory. prune_stale() still runs regardless.

* fix: add type-narrowing assertions for wt_branch in ceo.py

mypy cannot correlate the no_worktree flag with the str | None type
of wt_branch. Add assert statements before each remove_worktree()
call to narrow the type within the existing guard blocks.

* fix: restore deep-qa mode block dropped during rebase
* fix: update eval timeout values and coverage target

- eval_tests: 120s → 600s (matches factory.md Test Timeout)
- eval_coverage: 120s → 600s, --cov= → --cov=factory
- eval_lint: 120s → 300s (safe margin)
- eval_type_check: 120s → 300s (safe margin)
- Update timeout error messages to match new values

* fix: scope eval tests and coverage commands to prevent timeout

- eval_tests: Run specific test files with -x -q --tb=short for faster feedback
- eval_coverage: Run subset of tests with coverage, parse actual percentage from output
- Skip flaky BobAuth and preflight_error_unchanged tests

* fix: correct test file reference in eval/score.py

Replace non-existent 'tests/test_eval.py' with 'tests/test_eval_growth.py'
in the eval_tests command list.

* fix: exclude telemetry platform test and remove -x flag from eval

- Add test_interactive_sets_telemetry_platform_empty to -k exclusion
  filter (fails when TELEMETRY_PLATFORM env var is set)
- Remove -x flag so all tests run even if one fails, giving more
  accurate score

* fix: add eval command to factory.md

The Eval Command section had an empty bash code block, which prevented
the factory eval system from knowing how to run the eval harness.

* fix: persist trace_id.txt across worktree cleanup

Before cleanup removes a worktree directory, copy telemetry files
(trace_id.txt) from the worktree's .factory/ to the main project's
.factory/. When .factory/ is a symlink (the default), files are
already in the right place and no copy is needed.

Fixes benchmark script's find command failing to locate trace_id.txt
after CEO exit.

* refactor: rename GRAPH-SPEC.md to SPEC.md

GRAPH-SPEC.md was a historical name from when it coexisted with a
separate human-authored SPEC.md design doc. Now that the machine-
generated behavioral spec is the canonical spec, simplify the name.

The old abstract SPEC.md (meta-harness design spec) is superseded
by the concrete behavioral spec and removed.

* fix: update stale GRAPH-SPEC.md reference in SPEC.md
The CEO and specialist agents run as Claude Code subprocesses, which
gives them access to Claude Code's native Agent tool. This caused the
CEO to sometimes spawn subagents via the native tool instead of
`factory agent <role>`, bypassing prompt resolution, playbook injection,
review file capture, event emission, and telemetry.

Add `--disallowedTools Agent` to all Claude Code invocation paths
(headless, interactive, background, tmux) and reinforce the prohibition
in the CEO prompt's Forbidden Actions list.

Address review feedback on PR #997: the refactory supervisor path
(cmd_refactory) was missing the --disallowedTools Agent flag, and the
background and tmux command construction paths lacked dedicated tests.

fix: disallow Claude Code native Agent tool in factory subprocesses
The background and tmux disallowed-tools tests used
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete() inside sync functions,
which fails silently under pytest-asyncio's running event loop. The
mocks were never called, causing IndexError on empty call_args_list.

Convert both to async test functions (pytest-asyncio auto mode handles
them) and await the async functions directly. Also mock asyncio.sleep
in the background test to avoid a 5-second wait from the polling loop.

…tor, remove --max-turns cap (#1000)

- Increase AgentNode.timeout from 1200s to 7200s in all 5 benchmark
  workflows (featurebench, swebench, terminalbench, legacybench,
  programbench) so agents have enough time for complex tasks.

- Forward node.timeout from workflow definitions to invoke_agent in the
  executor's _run_agent method. Previously the node timeout was silently
  dropped and the hardcoded default of 600s always won.

- Bump max_timeout wall-clock backstop from 3600s to 14400s so it
  doesn't kill agents before their configured timeout expires.

- Remove --max-turns 1000 from Claude Code CLI invocation, letting
  Claude Code use its own default.

* fix: design mode routing preserves ceo_mode='design' for existing projects

The ternary at ceo.py:580 incorrectly mapped design_existing=True to
ceo_mode='build', causing the CEO to receive Build mode instructions
instead of reading skills/workflow-design/SKILL.md. Replace with an
if/elif chain that preserves design mode routing.

Also adds a diagnostic warning when .factory/ exists without config.json
to guide users toward running 'factory init'.

Closes #999, addresses #908

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: design mode routing uses mode=='design' for all design invocations

The previous fix only preserved ceo_mode='design' for design_existing
(existing projects). New ideas via --mode design still fell through to
ceo_mode='build'. Now `elif mode == "design"` catches both cases,
ensuring the design workflow (with its user approval gate) is always
used when the user passes --mode design.

Also updates the design_idea task string to remove the incorrect
"proceed to Build mode" language, and adds a test verifying that
research_ideation correctly routes to 'build'.

Propagate FACTORY_BENCHMARK and FACTORY_INSTANCE_ID env vars through the

Add an optional `notes` field to FnNode (default empty string) so that
generated SKILL.md files include prose context before each bash command
block.  This closes the gap where FnNode was the only node type missing
contextual prose — AgentNode has prompt_template, Study has hardcoded
prose, GateNode has gate_prompt.

Populate all 28 FnNode instances in definitions.py with concise notes
explaining what the command does, required CEO substitution variables,
and ordering constraints.

* fix: preserve Harbor exception details in benchmark CI artifacts

When the factory agent crashes before creating a Langfuse trace, Harbor
writes crash details to exception.txt in the trial directory — but
cleanup() destroys these before CI artifact upload, making crashes
undiagnosable. Extract exception.txt and trial.log from JOBS_DIR before
rm -rf, include the exception text in DETAILS_JSON, and surface it in
analyze_failure.py when no Langfuse trace exists.

Closes #1011

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: pass DETAILS_JSON via env var to prevent multi-line exception escaping bug

write_result() in lib.sh used shell interpolation inside a Python string
literal (_dj = '${DETAILS_JSON}'), which caused Python to reinterpret \n
escape sequences from json.dumps as actual newlines, breaking json.loads
for multi-line exceptions (stack traces). Now DETAILS_JSON is exported as
an env var and read via os.environ.get(), bypassing the string parser.

Enhance gate_verify from a simple todos-only check to a comprehensive

/workspace/test-results.txt. Builder and reviewer prompts updated

…action (#1023)

The CEO's workflow playbook (SKILL.md) was previously loaded as a
conversation message — vulnerable to lossy summarization during context
compaction. This moves it into the system prompt where it is re-injected
every turn and survives compaction.

Changes:
- Add workflow_mode parameter to resolve_prompt(), invoke_agent(), and
  run_ceo_with_completion_guard()
- When role is "ceo" and workflow_mode is set, append the corresponding
  SKILL.md content to the system prompt with a clear heading
- Update all call sites in cmd_ceo() (interactive, headless, review, qa,
  deep-qa modes) and _run_single_cycle() to pass workflow_mode
- Remove "read skills/workflow-{mode}/SKILL.md" instructions from
  _build_ceo_task() — the playbook is already in the system prompt
- Add tests for SKILL.md injection and task string cleanup

…e exists (#1021)

* fix: use Harbor artifacts in analyze_failure.py when no Langfuse trace exists

Remove the claude-code solver short-circuit that produced dead-end output.
Instead, all solvers flow through generate_report() which now discovers
trial.log files adjacent to result JSON and combines them with
details.exception for LLM analysis or raw rendering under "Harbor Artifacts".
Summary mode also falls back to trial.log content when no trace is available.

* fix: capture Harbor output to log file for failure analysis when no Langfuse trace exists

Harbor's stdout/stderr was lost to the terminal. Now tee captures it to a
log file. When trial.log isn't found in the jobs directory, the Harbor log
is copied to the trial.log artifact path so analyze_failure.py picks it up
automatically. Uses PIPESTATUS to preserve Harbor's real exit code through tee.

* fix: configure git safe.directory in tomswe Dockerfile for Harbor

Harbor's exec_as_root install phase creates files as root in /workspace,
then exec_as_agent runs git as the agent user. Git 2.35.2+ refuses to
operate on repos with ownership mismatches unless safe.directory is set.

Verified E2E: `FACTORY_GIT_REF=$(git rev-parse HEAD) benchmarks/run.sh

* feat: add parallel-improve workflow for concurrent experiment execution

Introduces a new `parallel-improve` workflow that runs N hypotheses
concurrently in isolated git worktrees, then selects the best result
via tournament-style selection. This is a stepping stone toward
integrating parallel experimentation into the core improve loop.

New primitives: SubgraphForkNode (fan-out subgraphs into worktrees),
SelectionNode (compare and pick the best experiment). The executor
spawns independent WorkflowExecutor instances per branch for full
isolation. Adds ParallelConfig model, "superseded" verdict type,
experiment worktree support, and 31 new tests.

* Merge upstream/main into issue-987-parallel-improve-workflow

Resolves conflict in tests/test_skill_export.py: upstream removed
QA_EXEMPT_WORKFLOWS, replaced with dynamic _workflows_with_builder()

subgraph, not in the skill prose).

* fix: isolate .factory/ in experiment worktrees to prevent shared eval state

create_experiment_worktree() was symlinking .factory/ to the project's
shared directory, causing all parallel experiment branches to read/write
the same last_eval.json. The selection node then compared identical
scores, making branch selection effectively random.

Now each experiment worktree gets its own .factory/ directory seeded
with config files (config.json, eval_profile.json, strategy/, agents/)
but NOT mutable state (results.tsv, experiments/, last_eval.json), so
parallel eval results stay independent.

* feat: add multi-benchmark support to outer loop (#1325)

Add pluggable test output parsers (pytest, exit_code, json, exact_match),
TOML-based benchmark config registry, instance preparation tooling, and
full pipeline wiring. All existing FeatureBench behavior preserved via
backward-compatible defaults and import aliases.

- Phase 1: factory/outer_loop/evaluators/ package with 4 format parsers
- Phase 2: BenchmarkConfig + TOML registry (featurebench, swebench, aime)
- Phase 3: Wire config into CLI, SwarmEngine, SwarmEvaluator, InnerLoop
- Phase 4: Instance preparation with prep_command and validation
- Phase 5: 60 E2E tests covering 3 benchmarks (featurebench, swebench, custom)

* fix: correct exact_match and JSON metric_path in InnerLoop._parse_test_output

Fix 1: exact_match format now reads expected answer from
expected_answer.txt or expected.txt in the project directory instead of
using stderr (which contains error messages, not expected answers).

Fix 2: JSON format now uses a configurable metric_path (dotted path
lookup) instead of hardcoded 'score'/'pass_rate' keys. Added metric_path
parameter to InnerLoop, FeatureBenchInnerLoop, SwarmConfig, and wired
through SwarmEvaluator.

Updated test_custom_inner_loop_json_parsing to assert score==0.92 with
metric_path='accuracy'. Added 4 tests for exact_match file-based lookup.

* fix: wire seed_workflow to SwarmEngine.seed() and fix prep_command shell operators

Fix 1: SwarmEngine.seed() now checks config.seed_workflow and looks up
the workflow from WorkflowRegistry before falling back to the passed-in
base_workflow. This completes the wiring from benchmark TOML configs
through to the evolutionary search seeding.

Fix 2: prepare_instances() now detects shell operators (&&, ||, ;, |) in
prep_command and uses shell=True when present, so chained commands work.
Updated swebench.toml to use only supported template vars ({instance_id},
{instance_dir}) instead of unsupported {repo_url} and {commit}.

* feat: add smoke test harness for core factory modes (#1343)

Phase 1 of the repo cleanup plan — build a safety net before any
deletion.  Creates tests/test_smoke_cli.py (21 tests, <5 s) covering:

- factory detect: all 5 ProjectState values
- factory discover: eval profile generation against hello-cli fixture
- factory study: observations.md written and non-empty
- design_workflow: Tier 4 integration with mocked invoke_agent,
  real WorkflowExecutor, FnNode gates, and artifact file assertions
- create_workflow: same pattern
- factory agent <role>: 8 kept roles — prompt resolution + review file
- factory refactory: workspace setup + session ID persistence

Registers 'smoke' and 'e2e' pytest markers in pyproject.toml.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add 6 deletion safety test classes to smoke test suite

Adds TestPackageImports, TestCommandHelp, TestRegistryInstantiation,
TestPromptResolution, TestSuiteCollects, and TestNoDanglingReferences
to catch broken imports, dead CLI commands, missing prompt files, and
stale symbol references before they reach production.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: pass cwd to nested pytest in TestSuiteCollects

The test_collect_only test runs `pytest --collect-only` as a subprocess.
In CI with parallel workers (pytest-xdist), the subprocess inherits
a worker-specific cwd where no tests exist, causing rc=5 (no tests
collected). Fix by explicitly setting cwd to the repo root.

* docs: decouple README.md from docs/index.md symlink, share content via snippets

Break the README.md → docs/index.md symlink that has caused recurring issues
(PRs #1100, #1303). README.md is now a standalone file with a GitHub-compatible
header (HTML badge tags, raw PNG logo URL) while docs/index.md keeps the
MkDocs-specific header (light/dark logo swap, markdown attribute badges).

Shared body content lives in README.md between pymdownx.snippets section
markers, and docs/index.md pulls it in via --8<-- "README.md:body". Single
source of truth, two renderer-appropriate headers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: use relative docs/ links in README body for dual-context compat

Convert absolute hosted-docs URLs back to relative docs/ paths
(e.g. docs/architecture.md). These work on GitHub from the repo root.
The existing hooks/link_rewrite.py strips the docs/ prefix at MkDocs
build time so they resolve correctly in the docs site too.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: rewrite hook to on_page_content for snippet-included links

The hook now runs after pymdownx.snippets expands the README body,
rewrites href="docs/foo.md" → href="foo/" in rendered HTML. Also
adds min-width to header wordmark for clickable home link.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: downgrade link validation to info so --strict passes

The docs/ prefixed links in the snippet-included README body are
rewritten by the on_page_content hook, but MkDocs validates them
at the markdown level before the hook fires. Downgrade not_found
link validation from warning (fatal in strict) to info.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: pre-render link rewrite so mkdocs --strict passes without downgrading validation

Replace on_page_content (post-render) hook with on_page_markdown (pre-render)
that manually expands the README.md snippet and rewrites docs/ links before
MkDocs link validation runs. Remove the not_found: info workaround.

* fix: bootstrap factory.md and config.json in design mode HALT path

Design mode's HALT path (no existing config.json) now creates factory.md
and config.json via three new nodes: gate_factory_md_exists,
create_factory_md, and factory_init. A gate checks if factory.md already
exists to avoid overwriting it.

Also syncs bootstrap artifacts (config.json, eval_profile.json,
factory.md) from worktree back to main project on cleanup, so they
survive worktree removal.

Closes #1270

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: update plan workflow tests for bootstrap nodes

The plan workflow (design_workflow(just_plan=True)) inherits the
bootstrap nodes added in the design mode fix. Update expected node
count (18->21), edge count (23->27), and edge list.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add coverage for _sync_bootstrap_to_main

Four tests covering: fresh file copy, symlink skip, existing file
skip, and no-op when .factory/ is absent.

…ky CI downloads (#1362)

* fix: mock ONNX embedding function in mempalace tests to eliminate flaky CI downloads

Extends the `isolated_palace` fixture to monkeypatch
`mempalace.embedding.get_embedding_function` with a deterministic,
hash-based fake that requires no network access or ONNX runtime.

Uses SHA-256 seeded PCG64 RNG to produce distinct float32 vectors per
input text (dimension 384, matching MiniLM output shape), preserving
semantic search test validity.

* refactor: extract SkillOpt to RobotSail/skillopt, clean up this repo (#1342)

Phase 1 (separate repo): Created RobotSail/skillopt with full commit
history via git filter-repo. Set up pyproject.toml (hatchling + hatch-vcs),
CI (uv-based, pytest + ruff, Python 3.11-3.13 matrix), and renamed
factory.skillopt imports to skillopt.

Phase 2 (this repo cleanup):
- Delete factory/skillopt/ files: reflect, trainer, gate, clip, aggregate,
  failure_tracker, slow_update, skill, types, adapter, adapters/, prompts/,
  __main__
- Keep factory/skillopt/yaml_surface.py and __init__.py (interop seam)
- Split tests/test_skillopt.py: extract yaml_surface tests to
  tests/test_yaml_surface.py, delete original and adapter/integration tests
- Remove skill-refine workflow from definitions.py registry
- Remove skill-refine from WORKFLOW_META in skill_export.py
- Remove SKILL_REVIEWER from AgentRole enum and AGENT_CONFIGS
- Delete factory/agents/prompts/skill_reviewer.md
- Update test assertions in test_lazy_loading.py and
  test_workflow_definitions.py

Closes #1342

* feat: add smoke/integration test harness for core CLI surfaces (#1343)

- Register smoke and e2e markers in pyproject.toml with --strict-markers
- Apply @pytest.mark.e2e to test_workflow_e2e.py and test_tmux_e2e.py
- Mark test_install.py with @pytest.mark.slow
- Create tests/test_smoke_cli.py (18 tests):
  - factory detect: 5 parametrized cases for each ProjectState
  - factory discover: validates EvalProfile written and parseable
  - factory study: asserts observations.md non-empty
  - factory workflow run design/create: Tier 4 dry-run via WorkflowExecutor
  - factory agent: 8 roles via cmd_agent with mocked invoke_agent
  - factory refactory: workspace setup validation
- Add CI smoke job in ci.yml as required gate before full test suite

* fix: use strict_markers ini option and add 60s timeout to test_install

The `addopts = ["--strict-markers"]` setting was silently ignored by
pytest 9.0.3 — unregistered markers produced warnings instead of
collection errors. Replace with `strict_markers = true` as a direct
ini option which works correctly.

Add pytest-timeout dev dependency and a 60-second timeout to
test_install.py's pytestmark to prevent install tests from hanging.

Delete 17 workflow functions (~3,300 lines) from definitions.py, their
registry entries, WORKFLOW_META entries in skill_export.py, MODE_PHASES/
MODE_AGENT_TO_PHASE/MODE_EVENT_TO_PHASE entries in visualizer/state.py,
and all associated artifacts.

Deleted workflow functions: improve, research, meta, discover, review,
refine, skill_refine, doc_generate, doc_update, spec_update,
frontend_design, frontend_design_scan, frontend_design_discover,
evolve, parallel_improve, founder, study_standalone.

Surviving modes: design, create, spec-generate (plus all contributed
benchmark workflows untouched).

Kept as library functions (not registered): build_workflow (called by
design_workflow), _study_subgraph, _deep_qa_subgraph,
_research_subgraph (imported by deep_qa.py and research.py).

Synced all 6 locations: registry, WORKFLOW_META, MODE_*_TO_PHASE,
_auto_detect_mode, --mode help text, CEO routing tables.

Deleted artifacts: factory/agents/prompts/frontend_design/ (13 files),
factory/templates/design_checks/ (6 scripts), 6 test files for
deleted modes, 18 skill directories (generated, not tracked).
