deepwork
Multi-agent workflows on iii with the kanban board as the task list: one lead per ticket with its own sub-agents, parallel waves, independent verify and review, and bounded rounds. Code goals get a dev flow: approved design and plan, test-first tickets each in its own git worktree, a branch review and a finish you choose.

- A lead no longer copies its ticket's result into the document it writes for the orchestrator. Copies of large results came back
nullor cut down to a pointer, so the synthesis and the final report lost them. The lead's document carriesresult_from(the scope and key of the phase document with statusdone), and the orchestrator, the synthesis card's Inputs and the report read the result there withstate::get, which the orchestrator now preloads. The synthesis runs when at least two done tickets have aresult_from. - The run's final comment opens with a summary of the synthesis report (its citations kept) and the
state::getthat reads the full report, instead of a retyped copy that came out shortened anyway. - The orchestrator reads a lead document stored as a string that holds JSON as the object it holds. Leads that call
state::compare-and-setas a native tool writevaluethat way, because its schema givesvalueno type. - With
plan_only=onthe run's last line is exactlyplan on.: tickets; start with args: resume= - The README's approval rules apply only to a project that runs the

If it is `completed` with `expects_wake:true`, it is waiting on a wake of its own, not working, and a new task would not reach it before that wake fires or expires: finish `stuck` too and name the wake in the summary. | |
| 43 | 45 | 3. **Arm first, then spawn**, in one reply (calls run in order; a child's write counts only against wakes that already exist): | |
| 44 | 46 | ```json | |
| 45 | 47 | engine::register_trigger {"trigger_type":"state","config":{"scope":"<phase scope>"},"label":"dw KAN-12 r1 code1","conditions":[{"function_id":"state::barrier","config":{"id":"<phase scope>","expect":["code"],"carry":"/event_type"}}],"lifecycle":{"expires_in_ms":<(Phase deadline + 1) × 60000>}} | |
| 46 | 48 | ``` | |
| 47 | 49 | If the arm is refused, spawn nothing and finish `blocked` with the refusal as the question.

Act only on the wake labelled with your current phase: `[notification] dw <KEY> r<N> <phase><a>: {"results":…}` (every key written) or `wake expired unfired` for that label (deadline). A `[notification] wake removed: …` for your current phase's wake means the orchestrator took this ticket back: write nothing, spawn nothing, and end with `<KEY> released`. Any other notification: reply one line and end the turn; the armed wake stays. On your wake, `state::list {"scope":"<phase scope>"}` and match documents by `item`, never by position. | |

A `[notification] child ended: session <child> (turn <turn>) status=<s>[ stop_reason=<r>][ error=<e>]…` for a child of your current phase (older harnesses never send it; the deadline then applies) means read the phase now: `state::list` its scope, and `harness::status` the session of each key with no valid document.

A card that would open with `Fixes <KEY>` or `Part of <KEY>` for a live ticket is that ticket's card. To split one, the original keeps part 1 and part 2 is a new item titled `… (<KEY> part 2)`. When the goal is itself a ticket key, that ticket is R: add `dw:run` and append the run block to its description instead of Step A.5's create. | |

Dev flow, when the goal needs a browser (design audit, screenshots, Playwright against a running app) and `engine::functions::info {"function_ids":["browser::doctor"]}` finds `browser::doctor`: call `browser::doctor {}` once; it launches nothing.

| 227 | 253 | **Replan** (the user changes the design, a task, or drops one: from the Plan card before Start, or in any message after it): | |
| 228 | 254 | 1. Rewrite R's description first, `kanban::ticket::update {"id":"<R>","description":…}`: the whole text you wrote at Step A.5, with the Design (plain flow: the Goal) changed to match, and one `Plan change: <one line>` line appended per replan. | |
| 229 | - | 2. Then the items. First create the new items as in Step A.7 (layer by layer, passing the run's project and release). Then, in a later reply: rewrite the card (and the title, if it changed) of every affected item in `todo` or `backlog` (a card that now needs a new item's output gets `Depends on: <its key>`); cancel each dropped item (see Lanes) with the comment `canceled: <why>`; and rewrite, or cancel with `canceled: depends on dropped <KEY>`, every item whose `Depends on:` names a dropped key. Never edit an item in `in_progress`: when the change touches one, create a follow-up item `Align <KEY> with the plan change: …` whose card opens with `Depends on: <KEY>` and says `If <KEY> is not in done, write failed with summary "waiting for <KEY>"`. | |

| 232 | 258 | After Start, the changes take effect from the next round (Q_N is fixed). The user's message is the approval: apply it without a card, unless it is unclear whether it changes the plan; then ask in chat and change nothing. Never dispatch from a user-message turn, with one exception: the answer to your own `harness::ask` card continues the step that asked it (Step A design or plan, the Step G finish choice). | |
