-# Agent Development Workflow
-
-Complete Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for building production-ready goal-driven agents.
-
-## Overview
-
-This workflow orchestrates specialized skills to take you from initial concept to production-ready agent:
-
-1. **Understand Concepts** (5-10 min) → `/building-agents-core` (optional)
-2. **Build Structure** (15-30 min) → `/building-agents-construction`
-3. **Optimize Design** (10-15 min) → `/building-agents-patterns` (optional)
-4. **Test & Validate** (20-40 min) → `/testing-agent`
-
-## When to Use This Workflow
-
-Use this meta-skill when:
-- Starting a new agent from scratch
-- Unclear which skill to use first
-- Need end-to-end guidance for agent development
-- Want consistent, repeatable agent builds
-
-**Skip this workflow** if:
-- You only need to test an existing agent → use `/testing-agent` directly
-- You know exactly which phase you're in → use specific skill directly
-
-## Quick Decision Tree
-
-```
-"Need to understand agent concepts" → building-agents-core
-"Build a new agent" → building-agents-construction
-"Optimize my agent design" → building-agents-patterns
-"Test my agent" → testing-agent
-"Not sure what I need" → Read phases below, then decide
-"Agent has structure but needs implementation" → See agent directory STATUS.md
-```
-
-## Phase 0: Understand Concepts (Optional)
-
-**Duration**: 5-10 minutes
-**Skill**: `/building-agents-core`
-**Input**: Questions about agent architecture
-
-### When to Use
-
-- First time building an agent
-- Need to understand node types, edges, goals
-- Want to validate tool availability
-- Learning about pause/resume architecture
-
-### What This Phase Provides
-
-- Architecture overview (Python packages, not JSON)
-- Core concepts (Goal, Node, Edge, Pause/Resume)
-- Tool discovery and validation procedures
-- Workflow overview
-
-**Skip this phase** if you already understand agent fundamentals.
-
-## Phase 1: Build Agent Structure
-
-**Duration**: 15-30 minutes
-**Skill**: `/building-agents-construction`
-**Input**: User requirements ("Build an agent that...")
-
-### What This Phase Does
-
-Creates the complete agent architecture:
-- Package structure (`exports/agent_name/`)
-- Goal with success criteria and constraints
-- Workflow graph (nodes and edges)
-- Node specifications
-- CLI interface
-- Documentation
-
-### Process
-
-1. **Create package** - Directory structure with skeleton files
-2. **Define goal** - Success criteria and constraints written to agent.py
-3. **Design nodes** - Each node approved and written incrementally
-4. **Connect edges** - Workflow graph with conditional routing
-5. **Finalize** - Agent class, exports, and documentation
-
-### Outputs
-
-- ✅ `exports/agent_name/` package created
-- ✅ Goal defined in agent.py
-- ✅ 5-10 nodes specified in nodes/__init__.py
-- ✅ 8-15 edges connecting workflow
-- ✅ Validated structure (passes `python -m agent_name validate`)
-- ✅ README.md with usage instructions
-- ✅ CLI commands (info, validate, run, shell)
-
-### Success Criteria
-
-You're ready for Phase 2 when:
-- Agent structure validates without errors
-- All nodes and edges are defined
-- CLI commands work (info, validate)
-- You see: "Agent complete: exports/agent_name/"
-
-### Common Outputs
-
-The building-agents-construction skill produces:
-```
-exports/agent_name/
-├── __init__.py          (package exports)
-├── __main__.py          (CLI interface)
-├── agent.py             (goal, graph, agent class)
-├── nodes/__init__.py    (node specifications)
-├── config.py            (configuration)
-├── implementations.py   (may be created for Python functions)
-└── README.md            (documentation)
-```
-
-### Next Steps
-
-**If structure complete and validated:**
-→ Check `exports/agent_name/STATUS.md` or `IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md`
-→ These files explain implementation options
-→ You may need to add Python functions or MCP tools (not covered by current skills)
-
-**If want to optimize design:**
-→ Proceed to Phase 1.5 (building-agents-patterns)
-
-**If ready to test:**
-→ Proceed to Phase 2
-
-## Phase 1.5: Optimize Design (Optional)
-
-**Duration**: 10-15 minutes
-**Skill**: `/building-agents-patterns`
-**Input**: Completed agent structure
-
-### When to Use
-
-- Want to add pause/resume functionality
-- Need error handling patterns
-- Want to optimize performance
-- Need examples of complex routing
-- Want best practices guidance
-
-### What This Phase Provides
-
-- Practical examples and patterns
-- Pause/resume architecture
-- Error handling strategies
-- Anti-patterns to avoid
-- Performance optimization techniques
-
-**Skip this phase** if your agent design is straightforward.
-
-## Phase 2: Test & Validate
-
-**Duration**: 20-40 minutes
-**Skill**: `/testing-agent`
-**Input**: Working agent from Phase 1
-
-### What This Phase Does
-
-Creates comprehensive test suite:
-- Constraint tests (verify hard requirements)
-- Success criteria tests (measure goal achievement)
-- Edge case tests (handle failures gracefully)
-- Integration tests (end-to-end workflows)
-
-### Process
-
-1. **Analyze agent** - Read goal, constraints, success criteria
-2. **Generate tests** - Create pytest files in `exports/agent_name/tests/`
-3. **User approval** - Review and approve each test
-4. **Run evaluation** - Execute tests and collect results
-5. **Debug failures** - Identify and fix issues
-6. **Iterate** - Repeat until all tests pass
-
-### Outputs
-
-- ✅ Test files in `exports/agent_name/tests/`
-- ✅ Test report with pass/fail metrics
-- ✅ Coverage of all success criteria
-- ✅ Coverage of all constraints
-- ✅ Edge case handling verified
-
-### Success Criteria
-
-You're done when:
-- All tests pass
-- All success criteria validated
-- All constraints verified
-- Agent handles edge cases
-- Test coverage is comprehensive
-
-### Next Steps
-
-**Agent ready for:**
-- Production deployment
-- Integration into larger systems
-- Documentation and handoff
-- Continuous monitoring
-
-## Phase Transitions
-
-### From Phase 1 to Phase 2
-
-**Trigger signals:**
-- "Agent complete: exports/..."
-- Structure validation passes
-- README indicates implementation complete
-
-**Before proceeding:**
-- Verify agent can be imported: `from exports.agent_name import default_agent`
-- Check if implementation is needed (see STATUS.md or IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md)
-- Confirm agent executes without import errors
-
-### Skipping Phases
-
-**When to skip Phase 1:**
-- Agent structure already exists
-- Only need to add tests
-- Modifying existing agent
-
-**When to skip Phase 2:**
-- Prototyping or exploring
-- Agent not production-bound
-- Manual testing sufficient
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: Complete New Build (Simple)
-
-```
-User: "Build an agent that monitors files"
-→ Use /building-agents-construction
-→ Agent structure created
-→ Use /testing-agent
-→ Tests created and passing
-→ Done: Production-ready agent
-```
-
-### Pattern 1b: Complete New Build (With Learning)
-
-```
-User: "Build an agent (first time)"
-→ Use /building-agents-core (understand concepts)
-→ Use /building-agents-construction (build structure)
-→ Use /building-agents-patterns (optimize design)
-→ Use /testing-agent (validate)
-→ Done: Production-ready agent
-```
-
-### Pattern 2: Test Existing Agent
-
-```
-User: "Test my agent at exports/my_agent"
-→ Skip Phase 1
-→ Use /testing-agent directly
-→ Tests created
-→ Done: Validated agent
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: Iterative Development
-
-```
-User: "Build an agent"
-→ Use /building-agents-construction (Phase 1)
-→ Implementation needed (see STATUS.md)
-→ [User implements functions]
-→ Use /testing-agent (Phase 2)
-→ Tests reveal bugs
-→ [Fix bugs manually]
-→ Re-run tests
-→ Done: Working agent
-```
-
-### Pattern 4: Complex Agent with Patterns
-
-```
-User: "Build an agent with multi-turn conversations"
-→ Use /building-agents-core (learn pause/resume)
-→ Use /building-agents-construction (build structure)
-→ Use /building-agents-patterns (implement pause/resume pattern)
-→ Use /testing-agent (validate conversation flows)
-→ Done: Complex conversational agent
-```

-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Agent structure won't validate"
-
-- Check node IDs match between nodes/__init__.py and agent.py
-- Verify all edges reference valid node IDs
-- Ensure entry_node exists in nodes list
-- Run: `PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name validate`
-
-### "Agent has structure but won't run"
-
-- Check for STATUS.md or IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md in agent directory
-- Implementation may be needed (Python functions or MCP tools)
-- This is expected - building-agents-construction creates structure, not implementation
-- See implementation guide for completion options
-
-### "Tests are failing"
-
-- Review test output for specific failures
-- Check agent goal and success criteria
-- Verify constraints are met
-- Use `/testing-agent` to debug and iterate
-- Fix agent code and re-run tests
-
-### "Not sure which phase I'm in"
-
-Run these checks:
-
-```bash
-# Check if agent structure exists
-ls exports/my_agent/agent.py
-
-# Check if it validates
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m my_agent validate
-
-# Check if tests exist
-ls exports/my_agent/tests/
-
-# If structure exists and validates → Phase 2 (testing)
-# If structure doesn't exist → Phase 1 (building)
-# If tests exist but failing → Debug phase
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### For Phase 1 (Building)
-
-1. **Start with clear requirements** - Know what the agent should do
-2. **Define success criteria early** - Measurable goals drive design
-3. **Keep nodes focused** - One responsibility per node
-4. **Use descriptive names** - Node IDs should explain purpose
-5. **Validate incrementally** - Check structure after each major addition
-
-### For Phase 2 (Testing)
-
-1. **Test constraints first** - Hard requirements must pass
-2. **Mock external dependencies** - Use mock mode for LLMs/APIs
-3. **Cover edge cases** - Test failures, not just success paths
-4. **Iterate quickly** - Fix one test at a time
-5. **Document test patterns** - Future tests follow same structure
-
-### General Workflow
-
-1. **Use version control** - Git commit after each phase
-2. **Document decisions** - Update README with changes
-3. **Keep iterations small** - Build → Test → Fix → Repeat
-4. **Preserve working states** - Tag successful iterations
-5. **Learn from failures** - Failed tests reveal design issues
-
-## Exit Criteria
-
-You're done with the workflow when:
-
-✅ Agent structure validates
-✅ All tests pass
-✅ Success criteria met
-✅ Constraints verified
-✅ Documentation complete
-✅ Agent ready for deployment

-# Example: File Monitor Agent
-
-This example shows the complete agent-workflow in action for building a file monitoring agent.
-
-## Initial Request
-
-```
-User: "Build an agent that monitors ~/Downloads and copies new files to ~/Documents"
-```
-
-## Phase 1: Building (20 minutes)
-
-### Step 1: Create Structure
-
-Agent invokes `/building-agents` skill and:
-
-1. Creates `exports/file_monitor_agent/` package
-2. Writes skeleton files (__init__.py, __main__.py, agent.py, etc.)
-
-**Output**: Package structure visible immediately
-
-### Step 2: Define Goal
-
-```python
-goal = Goal(
-    id="file-monitor-copy",
-    name="Automated File Monitor & Copy",
-    success_criteria=[
-        # 100% detection rate
-        # 100% copy success
-        # 100% conflict resolution
-        # >99% uptime
-    ],
-    constraints=[
-        # Preserve originals
-        # Handle errors gracefully
-        # Track state
-        # Respect permissions
-    ]
-)
-```
-
-**Output**: Goal written to agent.py
-
-### Step 3: Design Nodes
-
-7 nodes approved and written incrementally:
-
-1. `initialize-state` - Set up tracking
-2. `list-downloads` - Scan directory
-3. `identify-new-files` - Find new files
-4. `check-for-new-files` - Router
-5. `copy-files` - Copy with conflict resolution
-6. `update-state` - Mark as processed
-7. `wait-interval` - Sleep between cycles
-
-**Output**: All nodes in nodes/__init__.py
-
-### Step 4: Connect Edges
-
-8 edges connecting the workflow loop:
-
-```
-initialize → list → identify → check
-                                ↓  ↓
-                              copy  wait
-                                ↓    ↑
-                              update ↓
-                                ↓    ↓
-                              wait → list (loop)
-```
-
-**Output**: Edges written to agent.py
-
-### Step 5: Finalize
-
-```bash
-$ PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m file_monitor_agent validate
-✓ Agent is valid
-
-$ PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m file_monitor_agent info
-Agent: File Monitor & Copy Agent
-Nodes: 7
-Edges: 8
-```
-
-**Phase 1 Complete**: Structure validated ✅

-## Phase 2: Testing (25 minutes)
-
-### Step 1: Analyze Agent
-
-Agent invokes `/testing-agent` skill and:
-
-1. Reads goal from `exports/file_monitor_agent/agent.py`
-2. Identifies 4 success criteria to test
-3. Identifies 4 constraints to verify
-4. Plans test coverage
-
-### Step 2: Generate Tests
-
-Creates test files:
-
-```
-exports/file_monitor_agent/tests/
-├── conftest.py              (fixtures)
-├── test_constraints.py      (4 constraint tests)
-├── test_success_criteria.py (4 success tests)
-└── test_edge_cases.py       (error handling)
-```
-
-Tests approved incrementally by user.
-
-### Step 3: Run Tests
-
-```bash
-$ PYTHONPATH=core:exports pytest exports/file_monitor_agent/tests/
-
-test_constraints.py::test_preserves_originals     PASSED
-test_constraints.py::test_handles_errors          PASSED

-
-========================== 12 passed in 3.42s ==========================
-```
-
-**Phase 2 Complete**: All tests pass ✅
-
-## Final Output
-
-**Production-Ready Agent:**
-
-```bash
-# Run the agent
-./RUN_AGENT.sh
-
-# Or manually
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports:aden-tools/src python -m file_monitor_agent run
-```
-
-**Capabilities:**
-- Monitors ~/Downloads continuously
-- Copies new files to ~/Documents
-- Resolves conflicts with timestamps
-- Handles errors gracefully
-- Tracks processed files
-- Runs as background service
-
-**Total Time**: ~45 minutes from concept to production
-
-## Key Learnings
-
-1. **Incremental building** - Files written immediately, visible throughout
-2. **Validation early** - Structure validated before moving to implementation
-3. **Test-driven** - Tests reveal real behavior
-4. **Documentation included** - README, STATUS, and guides auto-generated
-5. **Repeatable process** - Same workflow for any agent type
-
-## Variations
-
-**For simpler agents:**
-- Fewer nodes (3-5 instead of 7)
-- Simpler workflow (linear instead of looping)
-- Faster build time (10-15 minutes)
-
-**For complex agents:**
-- More nodes (10-15+)
-- Multiple subgraphs
-- Pause/resume points for human-in-the-loop
-- Longer build time (45-60 minutes)
-
-The workflow scales to your needs!

+description: SOP for debugging browser automation failures on complex websites. Use when browser tools fail on specific sites like LinkedIn, Twitter/X, SPAs, or sites with Shadow DOM.

+---
+
+# Browser Tool Edge Cases
+
+Standard Operating Procedure for debugging and fixing browser automation failures on complex websites.
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+- `browser_scroll` succeeds but page doesn't move
+- `browser_click` succeeds but no action triggered
+- `browser_type` text disappears or doesn't work
+- `browser_snapshot` hangs or returns stale content
+- `browser_navigate` loads wrong content
+
+## SOP: Debugging Browser Tool Failures
+
+### Phase 1: Reproduce & Isolate
+
+```
+1. Create minimal test case demonstrating failure
+2. Test against simple site (example.com) to verify tool works
+3. Test against problematic site to confirm issue
+```
+
+**Quick isolation test:**
+```python
+# Test 1: Does the tool work at all?
+await browser_navigate(tab_id, "https://example.com")
+result = await browser_scroll(tab_id, "down", 100)
+# Should work on simple sites
+
+# Test 2: Does it fail on the problematic site?
+await browser_navigate(tab_id, "https://linkedin.com/feed")
+result = await browser_scroll(tab_id, "down", 100)
+# If this fails but example.com works → site-specific edge case
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Analyze Root Cause
+
+**Step 2a: Check console for errors**
+```python
+console = await browser_console(tab_id)
+# Look for: CSP violations, React errors, JavaScript exceptions
+```
+
+**Step 2b: Inspect DOM structure**
+```python
+html = await browser_html(tab_id)
+snapshot = await browser_snapshot(tab_id)
+# Look for:
+# - Nested scrollable divs (overflow: scroll/auto)
+# - Shadow DOM roots
+# - iframes
+# - Custom widgets
+```
+
+**Step 2c: Identify the pattern**
+
+| Symptom | Likely Cause | Check |
+|---------|--------------|-------|
+| Scroll doesn't move | Nested scroll container | Look for `overflow: scroll` divs |
+| Click no effect | Element covered | Check `getBoundingClientRect` vs viewport |
+| Type clears | Autocomplete/React | Check for event listeners on input; try `browser_type_focused` |
+| Snapshot hangs | Huge DOM | Check node count in snapshot |
+| Snapshot stale | SPA hydration | Wait after navigation |
+
+### Phase 3: Implement Multi-Layer Fix
+
+**Pattern: Always have fallbacks**
+
+```python
+async def robust_operation(tab_id):
+    # Method 1: Primary approach
+    try:
+        result = await primary_method(tab_id)
+        if verify_success(result):
+            return result
+    except Exception:
+        pass
+
+    # Method 2: CDP fallback
+    try:
+        result = await cdp_fallback(tab_id)
+        if verify_success(result):
+            return result
+    except Exception:
+        pass
+
+    # Method 3: JavaScript fallback
+    return await javascript_fallback(tab_id)
+```
+
+**Pattern: Always add timeouts**
+
+```python
+# Bad - can hang forever
+result = await browser_snapshot(tab_id)
+
+# Good - fails fast with useful error
+try:
+    result = await browser_snapshot(tab_id, timeout_s=10.0)
+except asyncio.TimeoutError:
+    # Handle timeout gracefully
+    result = await fallback_snapshot(tab_id)
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Verify Fix
+
+```
+1. Run against problematic site → should work
+2. Run against simple site → should still work (regression check)
+3. Document in registry.md
+```
+
+## Pattern Library
+
+### P1: Nested Scrollable Containers
+
+**Sites:** LinkedIn, Twitter/X, any SPA with scrollable feeds
+
+**Detection:**
+```javascript
+// Find largest scrollable container
+const candidates = [];
+document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(el => {
+    const style = getComputedStyle(el);
+    if (style.overflow.includes('scroll') || style.overflow.includes('auto')) {
+        const rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
+        if (rect.width > 100 && rect.height > 100) {
+            candidates.push({el, area: rect.width * rect.height});
+        }
+    }
+});
+candidates.sort((a, b) => b.area - a.area);
+return candidates[0]?.el;
+```
+
+**Fix:** Dispatch scroll events at container's center, not viewport center.
+
+### P2: Element Covered by Overlay
+
+**Sites:** Modals, tooltips, SPAs with loading overlays
+
+**Detection:**
+```javascript
+const rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
+const centerX = rect.left + rect.width / 2;
+const centerY = rect.top + rect.height / 2;
+const topElement = document.elementFromPoint(centerX, centerY);
+return topElement === element || element.contains(topElement);
+```
+
+**Fix:** Wait for overlay to disappear, or use JavaScript click.
+
+### P3: React Synthetic Events
+
+**Sites:** React SPAs, modern web apps
+
+**Detection:** If CDP click doesn't trigger handler but manual click works.
+
+**Fix:** Use JavaScript click as primary:
+```javascript
+element.click();
+```
+
+### P4: Huge DOM / Accessibility Tree
+
+**Sites:** LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter (feeds with 1000s of nodes)
+
+**Detection:**
+```javascript
+document.querySelectorAll('*').length > 5000
+```
+
+**Fix:**
+1. Add timeout to snapshot operation
+2. Truncate tree at 2000 nodes
+3. Fall back to DOM-based snapshot if accessibility tree too large
+
+### P5: SPA Hydration Delay
+
+**Sites:** React, Vue, Angular SPAs after navigation
+
+**Detection:**
+```javascript
+// Check if React app has hydrated
+document.querySelector('[data-reactroot]') ||
+document.querySelector('[data-reactid]')
+```
+
+**Fix:** Wait for specific selector after navigation:
+```python
+await browser_navigate(tab_id, url, wait_until="load")
+await browser_wait(tab_id, selector='[data-testid="content"]', timeout_ms=5000)
+```
+
+### P6: Shadow DOM
+
+**Sites:** Components using Shadow DOM, Lit elements
+
+**Detection:**
+```javascript
+document.querySelectorAll('*').some(el => el.shadowRoot)
+```
+
+**Fix:** Pierce shadow root:
+```javascript
+function queryShadow(selector) {
+    const parts = selector.split('>>>');
+    let node = document;
+    for (const part of parts) {
+        if (node.shadowRoot) {
+            node = node.shadowRoot.querySelector(part.trim());
+        } else {
+            node = node.querySelector(part.trim());
+        }
+    }
+    return node;
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Issue | Primary Fix | Fallback |
+|-------|-------------|----------|
+| Scroll not working | Find scrollable container | Mouse wheel at container center |
+| Click no effect | JavaScript click() | CDP mouse events |
+| Type clears | Add delay_ms | Use `browser_type_focused` (Input.insertText) |
+| Snapshot hangs | Add timeout_s | DOM snapshot fallback |
+| Stale content | Wait for selector | Increase wait_until timeout |
+| Shadow DOM | Pierce selector | JavaScript traversal |

+Curated list of known browser automation edge cases with symptoms, causes, and fixes.
+
+---
+
+## Scroll Issues
+
+### #1: LinkedIn Nested Scroll Container
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | LinkedIn (linkedin.com/feed) |
+| **Symptom** | `browser_scroll()` returns `{ok: true}` but page doesn't move |
+| **Root Cause** | Content is in a nested scrollable div (`overflow: scroll`), not the main window |
+| **Detection** | `document.querySelectorAll('*')` with `overflow: scroll/auto` has large candidates |
+| **Fix** | JavaScript finds largest scrollable container, uses `container.scrollBy()` |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:808-891` - smart scroll with container detection |
+| **Verified** | 2026-04-03 ✓ |
+
+### #2: Twitter/X Lazy Loading
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Twitter/X (x.com) |
+| **Symptom** | Infinite scroll doesn't load new content |
+| **Root Cause** | Lazy loading requires content to be visible before loading more |
+| **Detection** | Scroll position at bottom but no new `[data-testid="tweet"]` elements |
+| **Fix** | Add `wait_for_selector` between scroll calls with 1s delay |
+| **Code** | Test file: `tests/test_x_page_load_repro.py` |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+### #3: Modal/Dialog Scroll Container
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Any site with modal dialogs |
+| **Symptom** | Scroll scrolls background page, not modal content |
+| **Root Cause** | Modal has its own scroll container with `overflow: scroll` |
+| **Detection** | Visible element with `position: fixed` and scrollable content |
+| **Fix** | Find visible modal container (highest z-index scrollable), scroll that |
+| **Code** | - |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+---
+
+## Click Issues
+
+### #4: Element Covered by Overlay
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | SPAs, sites with loading overlays |
+| **Symptom** | Click succeeds but no action triggered |
+| **Root Cause** | Element is covered by transparent overlay, tooltip, or iframe |
+| **Detection** | `document.elementFromPoint(x, y) !== target` |
+| **Fix** | Wait for overlay to disappear, or use JavaScript `element.click()` |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:394-591` - JavaScript click as primary |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+### #5: React Synthetic Events
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | React applications |
+| **Symptom** | CDP click doesn't trigger React handler |
+| **Root Cause** | React uses synthetic events that don't respond to CDP events |
+| **Detection** | Site uses React (check for `__reactFiber$` or `data-reactroot`) |
+| **Fix** | Use JavaScript `element.click()` as primary method |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:394-591` - JavaScript-first click |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+### #6: Shadow DOM Elements
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Components using Shadow DOM, Lit elements |
+| **Symptom** | `querySelector` can't find element |
+| **Root Cause** | Element is inside a shadow root, not main DOM tree |
+| **Detection** | `element.shadowRoot !== null` on parent elements |
+| **Fix** | Use piercing selector (`host >>> target`) or traverse shadow roots |
+| **Code** | See SKILL.md P6 pattern |
+| **Verified** | 2026-04-03 ✓ |
+
+---
+
+## Input Issues
+
+### #7: ContentEditable / Rich Text Editors
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Rich text editors (Notion, Slack web, etc.) |
+| **Symptom** | `browser_type()` doesn't insert text |
+| **Root Cause** | Element is `contenteditable`, not an `<input>` or `<textarea>` |
+| **Detection** | `element.contentEditable === 'true'` |
+| **Fix** | Focus via JavaScript, use `execCommand('insertText')` or `Input.dispatchKeyEvent` |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:616-694` - contentEditable handling |
+| **Verified** | 2026-04-03 ✓ |
+
+### #8: Autocomplete Field Clearing
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Search fields with autocomplete, address forms |
+| **Symptom** | Typed text gets cleared immediately |
+| **Root Cause** | Field expects realistic keystroke timing for autocomplete |
+| **Detection** | Field has autocomplete listeners or dropdown appears |
+| **Fix** | Add `delay_ms=50` between keystrokes |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:type()` - delay_ms parameter |
+| **Verified** | 2026-04-03 ✓ |
+
+### #9: Custom Date Pickers
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Forms with custom date widgets |
+| **Symptom** | Can't type date into date field |
+| **Root Cause** | Custom widget intercepts and blocks keyboard input |
+| **Detection** | Typing doesn't change field value |
+| **Fix** | Click calendar widget icon, select date from dropdown |
+| **Code** | - |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+---
+
+## Snapshot Issues
+
+### #10: LinkedIn Huge DOM Tree
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter feeds |
+| **Symptom** | `browser_snapshot()` hangs forever |
+| **Root Cause** | 10k+ DOM nodes, accessibility tree has 50k+ nodes |
+| **Detection** | `document.querySelectorAll('*').length > 5000` |
+| **Fix** | Add `timeout_s` param with `asyncio.timeout()`, proper error handling |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:1041-1028` - snapshot with timeout protection |
+| **Verified** | 2026-04-03 ✓ (0.08s on LinkedIn) |
+
+### #11: SPA Hydration Delay
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | React/Vue/Angular SPAs |
+| **Symptom** | Snapshot shows old content after navigation |
+| **Root Cause** | Client-side hydration hasn't completed when snapshot runs |
+| **Detection** | `document.readyState === 'complete'` but content missing |
+| **Fix** | Wait for specific selector after navigation |
+| **Code** | Test file: `tests/test_x_page_load_repro.py` |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+### #12: iframe Content Missing
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Sites with embedded content |
+| **Symptom** | Snapshot missing iframe content |
+| **Root Cause** | Accessibility tree doesn't include iframe content |
+| **Detection** | `document.querySelectorAll('iframe')` has results |
+| **Fix** | Use `DOM.getFrameOwner` + separate snapshot for each iframe |
+| **Code** | - |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+---
+
+## Navigation Issues
+
+### #13: SPA Navigation Events
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | React Router, Vue Router SPAs |
+| **Symptom** | `wait_until="load"` fires before content ready |
+| **Root Cause** | SPA uses client-side routing, no full page load |
+| **Detection** | URL changes but `load` event already fired |
+| **Fix** | Use `wait_until="networkidle"` or `wait_for_selector` |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:navigate()` - wait_until options |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+### #14: Cross-Origin Redirects
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | OAuth flows, SSO logins |
+| **Symptom** | Navigation fails during redirect |
+| **Root Cause** | Cross-origin security prevents CDP tracking |
+| **Detection** | URL changes to different domain |
+| **Fix** | Use `wait_for_url` with pattern matching instead of exact URL |
+| **Code** | - |
+| **Verified** | - |
+
+---
+
+## Screenshot Issues
+
+### #15: Selector Screenshot Not Implemented
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Any site |
+| **Symptom** | `browser_screenshot(selector="h1")` takes full viewport instead of element |
+| **Root Cause** | `selector` param existed in signature but was silently ignored in both `bridge.py` and `inspection.py` |
+| **Detection** | Screenshot with selector same byte size as screenshot without selector |
+| **Fix** | Use CDP `Runtime.evaluate` to call `getBoundingClientRect()` on the element, pass result as `clip` to `Page.captureScreenshot` |
+| **Code** | `bridge.py:1315-1344` - selector clip logic; `inspection.py:94-96` - pass selector to bridge |
+| **Verified** | 2026-04-03 ✓ (JS rect query returns correct viewport coords; requires server restart) |
+
+### #16: Stale Browser Context (Group ID Mismatch)
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Site** | Any |
+| **Symptom** | `browser_open()` returns `"No group with id: XXXXXXX"` even though `browser_status` shows `running: true` |
+| **Root Cause** | In-memory `_contexts` dict has a stale `groupId` from a Chrome tab group that was closed outside the tool (e.g. user closed the tab group) |
+| **Detection** | `browser_status` returns `running: true` but `browser_open` fails with "No group with id" |
+| **Fix** | Call `browser_stop()` to clear stale context from `_contexts`, then `browser_start()` again |
+| **Code** | `tools/lifecycle.py:144-160` - `already_running` check uses cached dict without validating against Chrome |
+| **Verified** | 2026-04-03 ✓ |

-# Building Agents - Construction Process
-
-Step-by-step guide for building goal-driven agent packages.
-
-**Prerequisites:** Read `building-agents-core` for fundamental concepts.
-
-## CRITICAL: entry_points Format Reference
-
-**⚠️ Common Mistake Prevention:**
-
-The `entry_points` parameter in GraphSpec has a specific format that is easy to get wrong. This section exists because this mistake has caused production bugs.
-
-### Correct Format
-
-```python
-entry_points = {"start": "first-node-id"}
-```
-
-**Examples from working agents:**
-
-```python
-# From exports/outbound_sales_agent/agent.py
-entry_node = "lead-qualification"
-entry_points = {"start": "lead-qualification"}
-
-# From exports/support_ticket_agent/agent.py (FIXED)
-entry_node = "parse-ticket"
-entry_points = {"start": "parse-ticket"}
-```
-
-### WRONG Formats (DO NOT USE)
-
-```python
-# ❌ WRONG: Using node ID as key with input keys as value
-entry_points = {
-    "parse-ticket": ["ticket_content", "customer_id", "ticket_id"]
-}
-# Error: ValidationError: Input should be a valid string, got list
-
-# ❌ WRONG: Using set instead of dict
-entry_points = {"parse-ticket"}
-# Error: ValidationError: Input should be a valid dictionary, got set
-
-# ❌ WRONG: Missing "start" key
-entry_points = {"entry": "parse-ticket"}
-# Error: Graph execution fails, cannot find entry point
-```
-
-### Validation Check
-
-After writing graph configuration, ALWAYS validate:
-
-```python
-# Check 1: Must be a dict
-assert isinstance(entry_points, dict), f"entry_points must be dict, got {type(entry_points)}"
-
-# Check 2: Must have "start" key
-assert "start" in entry_points, f"entry_points must have 'start' key, got keys: {entry_points.keys()}"
-
-# Check 3: "start" value must match entry_node
-assert entry_points["start"] == entry_node, f"entry_points['start']={entry_points['start']} must match entry_node={entry_node}"
-
-# Check 4: Value must be a string (node ID)
-assert isinstance(entry_points["start"], str), f"entry_points['start'] must be string, got {type(entry_points['start'])}"
-```
-
-**Why this matters:** GraphSpec uses Pydantic validation. The wrong format causes ValidationError at runtime, which blocks all agent execution and tests. This bug is not caught until you try to run the agent.
-
-## Building Session Management with MCP
-
-**MANDATORY**: Use the agent-builder MCP server's BuildSession system for automatic bookkeeping and persistence.
-
-### Available MCP Session Tools
-
-```python
-# Create new session (call FIRST before building)
-mcp__agent-builder__create_session(name="Support Ticket Agent")
-# Returns: session_id, automatically sets as active session
-
-# Get current session status (use for progress tracking)
-status = mcp__agent-builder__get_session_status()
-# Returns: {
-#   "session_id": "build_20250122_...",
-#   "name": "Support Ticket Agent",
-#   "has_goal": true,
-#   "node_count": 5,
-#   "edge_count": 7,
-#   "nodes": ["parse-ticket", "categorize", ...],
-#   "edges": [("parse-ticket", "categorize"), ...]
-# }
-
-# List all saved sessions
-mcp__agent-builder__list_sessions()
-
-# Load previous session
-mcp__agent-builder__load_session_by_id(session_id="build_...")
-
-# Delete session
-mcp__agent-builder__delete_session(session_id="build_...")
-```
-
-### How MCP Session Works
-
-The BuildSession class (in `core/framework/mcp/agent_builder_server.py`) automatically:
-- **Persists to disk** after every operation (`_save_session()` called automatically)
-- **Tracks all components**: goal, nodes, edges, mcp_servers
-- **Maintains timestamps**: created_at, last_modified
-- **Stores to**: `~/.claude-code-agent-builder/sessions/`
-
-When you call MCP tools like:
-- `mcp__agent-builder__set_goal(...)` - Automatically added to session.goal and saved
-- `mcp__agent-builder__add_node(...)` - Automatically added to session.nodes and saved
-- `mcp__agent-builder__add_edge(...)` - Automatically added to session.edges and saved
-
-**No manual bookkeeping needed** - the MCP server handles it all!
-
-### Show Progress to User
-
-```python
-# Get session status to show progress
-status = json.loads(mcp__agent-builder__get_session_status())
-
-print(f"\n📊 Building Progress:")
-print(f"   Session: {status['name']}")
-print(f"   Goal defined: {status['has_goal']}")
-print(f"   Nodes: {status['node_count']}")
-print(f"   Edges: {status['edge_count']}")
-print(f"   Nodes added: {', '.join(status['nodes'])}")
-```
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Automatic persistence - survive crashes/restarts
-- Clear audit trail - all operations logged
-- Session resume - continue from where you left off
-- Progress tracking built-in
-- No manual state management needed
-
-## Step-by-Step Guide
-
-### Step 1: Create Building Session & Package Structure
-
-When user requests an agent, **immediately create MCP session and package**:
-
-```python
-# 0. FIRST: Create MCP building session
-agent_name = "technical_research_agent"  # snake_case
-session_result = mcp__agent-builder__create_session(name=agent_name.replace('_', ' ').title())
-session_id = json.loads(session_result)["session_id"]
-print(f"✅ Created building session: {session_id}")
-
-# 1. Create directory
-package_path = f"exports/{agent_name}"
-
-Bash(f"mkdir -p {package_path}/nodes")
-
-# 2. Write skeleton files
-Write(
-    file_path=f"{package_path}/__init__.py",
-    content='''"""
-Agent package - will be populated as build progresses.

-
-goal_code = f'''
-goal = Goal(
-    id="{goal_id}",
-    name="{name}",

-
-**Show user:**

-
-Open exports/technical_research_agent/agent.py to see the goal!
-```
-
-**Note:** Goal is automatically tracked in MCP session. Use `mcp__agent-builder__get_session_status()` to check progress.
-
-### Step 3: Add Nodes (Incremental)
-
-**⚠️ CRITICAL VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS:**
-
-Before adding any node with tools:
-1. Call `mcp__agent-builder__list_mcp_tools()` to discover available tools
-2. Verify each tool exists in the response
-3. If a tool doesn't exist, inform the user and ask how to proceed
-
-After writing each node:
-4. **MANDATORY**: Validate with `mcp__agent-builder__test_node()` before proceeding
-5. **MANDATORY**: Check MCP session status to track progress
-6. Only proceed to next node after validation passes
-
-For each node, **write immediately after approval**:
-
-```python
-# After user approves node...
-
-node_code = f'''
-{node_id.replace('-', '_')}_node = NodeSpec(
-    id="{node_id}",
-    name="{name}",
-    description="{description}",
-    node_type="{node_type}",
-    input_keys={input_keys},
-    output_keys={output_keys},
-    system_prompt="""\\
-{system_prompt}
-""",
-    tools={tools},
-    max_retries={max_retries},
-)
-
-'''
-
-# Append to nodes/__init__.py
-Read(f"{package_path}/nodes/__init__.py")
-Edit(
-    file_path=f"{package_path}/nodes/__init__.py",
-    old_string="__all__ = []",
-    new_string=f"{node_code}\n__all__ = []"
-)
-
-# Update __all__ exports
-all_node_names = [n.replace('-', '_') + '_node' for n in approved_nodes]
-all_exports = f"__all__ = {all_node_names}"
-
-Edit(
-    file_path=f"{package_path}/nodes/__init__.py",
-    old_string="__all__ = []",
-    new_string=all_exports
-)
-```
-
-**Show user after each node:**
-
-```
-✅ Added analyze_request_node to nodes/__init__.py
-📊 Progress: 1/6 nodes added
-
-Open exports/technical_research_agent/nodes/__init__.py to see it!
-```
-
-**Repeat for each node.** User watches the file grow.
-
-#### MANDATORY: Validate Each Node with MCP Tools
-
-After writing EVERY node, you MUST validate before proceeding:
-
-```python
-# Node is already written to file. Now VALIDATE IT (REQUIRED):
-validation_result = json.loads(mcp__agent-builder__test_node(
-    node_id="analyze-request",
-    test_input='{"query": "test query"}',
-    mock_llm_response='{"analysis": "mock output"}'
-))
-
-# Check validation result
-if validation_result["valid"]:
-    # Show user validation passed
-    print(f"✅ Node validation passed: analyze-request")
-
-    # Show session progress
-    status = json.loads(mcp__agent-builder__get_session_status())
-    print(f"📊 Session progress: {status['node_count']} nodes added")
-else:
-    # STOP - Do not proceed until fixed
-    print(f"❌ Node validation FAILED:")
-    for error in validation_result["errors"]:
-        print(f"   - {error}")
-    print("⚠️ Must fix node before proceeding to next component")
-    # Ask user how to proceed
-```
-
-**CRITICAL:** Do NOT proceed to the next node until validation passes. Bugs caught here prevent wasted work later.
-
-### Step 4: Connect Edges
-
-After all nodes approved, add edges:
-
-```python
-# Generate edges code
-edges_code = "edges = [\n"
-for edge in approved_edges:
-    edges_code += f'''    EdgeSpec(
-        id="{edge.id}",
-        source="{edge.source}",
-        target="{edge.target}",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.{edge.condition.upper()},
-'''
-    if edge.condition_expr:
-        edges_code += f'        condition_expr="{edge.condition_expr}",\n'
-    edges_code += f'        priority={edge.priority},\n'
-    edges_code += '    ),\n'
-edges_code += "]\n"
-
-# Write to agent.py
-Read(f"{package_path}/agent.py")
-Edit(
-    file_path=f"{package_path}/agent.py",
-    old_string="# Edges will be added when approved",
-    new_string=f"# Edge definitions\n{edges_code}"
-)
-
-# Write entry points and terminal nodes
-# ⚠️ CRITICAL: entry_points format must be {"start": "node_id"}
-# Common mistake: {"node_id": ["input_keys"]} is WRONG
-# Correct format: {"start": "first-node-id"}
-# Reference: See exports/outbound_sales_agent/agent.py for example
-
-graph_config = f'''
-# Graph configuration
-entry_node = "{entry_node_id}"
-entry_points = {{"start": "{entry_node_id}"}}  # CRITICAL: Must be {{"start": "node-id"}}
-pause_nodes = {pause_nodes}
-terminal_nodes = {terminal_nodes}
-
-# Collect all nodes
-nodes = [
-    {', '.join(node_names)},
-]
-'''
-
-Edit(
-    file_path=f"{package_path}/agent.py",
-    old_string="# Agent class will be created when graph is complete",
-    new_string=graph_config
-)
-```
-
-**Show user:**
-
-```
-✅ Edges written to agent.py
-✅ Graph configuration added
-
-5 edges connecting 6 nodes
-```
-
-#### MANDATORY: Validate Graph Structure
-
-After writing edges, you MUST validate before proceeding to finalization:
-
-```python
-# Edges already written to agent.py. Now VALIDATE STRUCTURE (REQUIRED):
-graph_validation = json.loads(mcp__agent-builder__validate_graph())
-
-# Check for structural issues
-if graph_validation["valid"]:
-    print("✅ Graph structure validated successfully")
-
-    # Show session summary
-    status = json.loads(mcp__agent-builder__get_session_status())
-    print(f"   - Nodes: {status['node_count']}")
-    print(f"   - Edges: {status['edge_count']}")
-    print(f"   - Entry point: {entry_node_id}")
-else:
-    print("❌ Graph validation FAILED:")
-    for error in graph_validation["errors"]:
-        print(f"   ERROR: {error}")
-    print("\n⚠️ Must fix graph structure before finalizing agent")
-    # Ask user how to proceed
-
-# Additional validation: Check entry_points format
-if not isinstance(entry_points, dict):
-    print("❌ CRITICAL ERROR: entry_points must be a dict")
-    print(f"   Current value: {entry_points} (type: {type(entry_points)})")
-    print("   Correct format: {'start': 'node-id'}")
-    # STOP - This is the mistake that caused the support_ticket_agent bug
-
-if entry_points.get("start") != entry_node_id:
-    print("❌ CRITICAL ERROR: entry_points['start'] must match entry_node")
-    print(f"   entry_points: {entry_points}")
-    print(f"   entry_node: {entry_node_id}")
-    print("   They must be consistent!")
-```
-
-**CRITICAL:** Do NOT proceed to Step 5 (finalization) until graph validation passes. This checkpoint prevents structural bugs from reaching production.
-
-### Step 5: Finalize Agent Class
-
-**Pre-flight checks before finalization:**
-
-```python
-# MANDATORY: Verify all validations passed before finalizing
-print("\n🔍 Pre-finalization Checklist:")
-
-# Get current session status
-status = json.loads(mcp__agent-builder__get_session_status())
-
-checks_passed = True
-
-# Check 1: Goal defined
-if not status["has_goal"]:
-    print("❌ No goal defined")
-    checks_passed = False
-else:
-    print(f"✅ Goal defined: {status['goal_name']}")
-
-# Check 2: Nodes added
-if status["node_count"] == 0:
-    print("❌ No nodes added")
-    checks_passed = False
-else:
-    print(f"✅ {status['node_count']} nodes added: {', '.join(status['nodes'])}")
-
-# Check 3: Edges added
-if status["edge_count"] == 0:
-    print("❌ No edges added")
-    checks_passed = False
-else:
-    print(f"✅ {status['edge_count']} edges added")
-
-# Check 4: Entry points format correct
-if not isinstance(entry_points, dict) or "start" not in entry_points:
-    print("❌ CRITICAL: entry_points format incorrect")
-    print(f"   Current: {entry_points}")
-    print("   Required: {'start': 'node-id'}")
-    checks_passed = False
-else:
-    print(f"✅ Entry points valid: {entry_points}")
-
-if not checks_passed:
-    print("\n⚠️ CANNOT PROCEED to finalization until all checks pass")
-    print("   Fix the issues above first")
-    # Ask user how to proceed or stop here
-    return
-
-print("\n✅ All pre-flight checks passed - proceeding to finalization\n")
-```

-    # ... implementation
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    cli()
-'''
-````
-
-## Testing During Build
-
-After nodes are added:
-
-```python
-# Test individual node
-python -c "
-from exports.my_agent.nodes import analyze_request_node
-print(analyze_request_node.id)
-print(analyze_request_node.input_keys)
-"
-
-# Validate current state
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m my_agent validate
-
-# Show info
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m my_agent info
-```
-
-## Approval Pattern
-
-Use AskUserQuestion for all approvals:
-
-```python
-response = AskUserQuestion(
-    questions=[{
-        "question": "Do you approve this [component]?",
-        "header": "Approve",
-        "options": [
-            {
-                "label": "✓ Approve (Recommended)",
-                "description": "Component looks good, proceed"
-            },
-            {
-                "label": "✗ Reject & Modify",
-                "description": "Need to make changes"
-            },
-            {
-                "label": "⏸ Pause & Review",
-                "description": "Need more time to review"
-            }
-        ],
-        "multiSelect": false
-    }]
-)
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-After completing construction:
-
-**If agent structure complete:**
-
-- Validate: `python -m agent_name validate`
-- Test basic execution: `python -m agent_name info`
-- Proceed to testing-agent skill for comprehensive tests
-
-**If implementation needed:**
-
-- Check for STATUS.md or IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md in agent directory
-- May need Python functions or MCP tool integration

-# Building Agents - Core Concepts
-
-Foundational knowledge for building goal-driven agents as Python packages.
-
-## Architecture: Python Services (Not JSON Configs)
-
-Agents are built as Python packages:
-
-```
-exports/my_agent/
-├── __init__.py          # Package exports
-├── __main__.py          # CLI (run, info, validate, shell)
-├── agent.py             # Graph construction (goal, edges, agent class)
-├── nodes/__init__.py    # Node definitions (NodeSpec)
-├── config.py            # Runtime config
-└── README.md            # Documentation
-```
-
-**Key Principle: Agent is visible and editable during build**
-
-- ✅ Files created immediately as components are approved
-- ✅ User can watch files grow in their editor
-- ✅ No session state - just direct file writes
-- ✅ No "export" step - agent is ready when build completes
-
-## Core Concepts
-
-### Goal
-
-Success criteria and constraints (written to agent.py)
-
-```python
-goal = Goal(
-    id="research-goal",
-    name="Technical Research Agent",
-    description="Research technical topics thoroughly",
-    success_criteria=[
-        SuccessCriterion(
-            id="completeness",
-            description="Cover all aspects of topic",
-            metric="coverage_score",
-            target=">=0.9",
-            weight=0.4,
-        ),
-        # ... more criteria
-    ],
-    constraints=[
-        Constraint(
-            id="accuracy",
-            description="All information must be verified",
-            constraint_type="hard",
-            category="quality",
-        ),
-        # ... more constraints
-    ],
-)
-```
-
-### Node
-
-Unit of work (written to nodes/__init__.py)
-
-**Node Types:**
-
-- `llm_generate` - Text generation, parsing
-- `llm_tool_use` - Actions requiring tools
-- `router` - Conditional branching
-- `function` - Deterministic operations
-
-```python
-search_node = NodeSpec(
-    id="search-web",
-    name="Search Web",
-    description="Search for information online",
-    node_type="llm_tool_use",
-    input_keys=["query"],
-    output_keys=["search_results"],
-    system_prompt="Search the web for: {query}",
-    tools=["web_search"],
-    max_retries=3,
-)
-```
-
-### Edge
-
-Connection between nodes (written to agent.py)
-
-**Edge Conditions:**
-
-- `on_success` - Proceed if node succeeds
-- `on_failure` - Handle errors
-- `always` - Always proceed
-- `conditional` - Based on expression
-
-```python
-EdgeSpec(
-    id="search-to-analyze",
-    source="search-web",
-    target="analyze-results",
-    condition=EdgeCondition.ON_SUCCESS,
-    priority=1,
-)
-```
-
-### Pause/Resume
-
-Multi-turn conversations
-
-- **Pause nodes** - Stop execution, wait for user input
-- **Resume entry points** - Continue from pause with user's response
-
-```python
-# Example pause/resume configuration
-pause_nodes = ["request-clarification"]
-entry_points = {
-    "start": "analyze-request",
-    "request-clarification_resume": "process-clarification"
-}
-```
-
-## Tool Discovery & Validation
-
-**CRITICAL:** Before adding a node with tools, you MUST verify the tools exist.
-
-Tools are provided by MCP servers. Never assume a tool exists - always discover dynamically.
-
-### Step 1: Register MCP Server (if not already done)
-
-```python
-mcp__agent-builder__add_mcp_server(
-    name="aden-tools",
-    transport="stdio",
-    command="python",
-    args='["mcp_server.py", "--stdio"]',
-    cwd="../aden-tools"
-)
-```
-
-### Step 2: Discover Available Tools
-
-```python
-# List all tools from all registered servers
-mcp__agent-builder__list_mcp_tools()
-
-# Or list tools from a specific server
-mcp__agent-builder__list_mcp_tools(server_name="aden-tools")
-```
-
-This returns available tools with their descriptions and parameters:
-
-```json
-{
-  "success": true,
-  "tools_by_server": {
-    "aden-tools": [
-      {
-        "name": "web_search",
-        "description": "Search the web...",
-        "parameters": ["query"]
-      },
-      {
-        "name": "web_scrape",
-        "description": "Scrape a URL...",
-        "parameters": ["url"]
-      }
-    ]
-  },
-  "total_tools": 14
-}
-```
-
-### Step 3: Validate Before Adding Nodes
-
-Before writing a node with `tools=[...]`:
-
-1. Call `list_mcp_tools()` to get available tools
-2. Check each tool in your node exists in the response
-3. If a tool doesn't exist:
-   - **DO NOT proceed** with the node
-   - Inform the user: "The tool 'X' is not available. Available tools are: ..."
-   - Ask if they want to use an alternative or proceed without the tool
-
-### Tool Validation Anti-Patterns
-
-❌ **Never assume a tool exists** - always call `list_mcp_tools()` first
-❌ **Never write a node with unverified tools** - validate before writing
-❌ **Never silently drop tools** - if a tool doesn't exist, inform the user
-❌ **Never guess tool names** - use exact names from discovery response
-
-### Example Validation Flow
-
-```python
-# 1. User requests: "Add a node that searches the web"
-# 2. Discover available tools
-tools_response = mcp__agent-builder__list_mcp_tools()
-
-# 3. Check if web_search exists
-available = [t["name"] for tools in tools_response["tools_by_server"].values() for t in tools]
-if "web_search" not in available:
-    # Inform user and ask how to proceed
-    print("❌ 'web_search' not available. Available tools:", available)
-else:
-    # Proceed with node creation
-    # ...
-```
-
-## Workflow Overview: Incremental File Construction
-
-```
-1. CREATE PACKAGE → mkdir + write skeletons
-2. DEFINE GOAL → Write to agent.py + config.py
-3. FOR EACH NODE:
-   - Propose design
-   - User approves
-   - Write to nodes/__init__.py IMMEDIATELY ← FILE WRITTEN
-   - (Optional) Validate with test_node ← MCP VALIDATION
-   - User can open file and see it
-4. CONNECT EDGES → Update agent.py ← FILE WRITTEN
-   - (Optional) Validate with validate_graph ← MCP VALIDATION
-5. FINALIZE → Write agent class to agent.py ← FILE WRITTEN
-6. DONE - Agent ready at exports/my_agent/
-```
-
-**Files written immediately. MCP tools optional for validation/testing bookkeeping.**
-
-### The Key Difference
-
-**OLD (Bad):**
-
-```
-MCP add_node → Session State → MCP add_node → Session State → ...
-                                                                ↓
-                                                     MCP export_graph
-                                                                ↓
-                                                       Files appear
-```
-
-**NEW (Good):**
-
-```
-Write node to file → (Optional: MCP test_node) → Write node to file → ...
-       ↓                                               ↓
-  File visible                                    File visible
-  immediately                                     immediately
-```
-
-**Bottom line:** Use Write/Edit for construction, MCP for validation if needed.
-
-## When to Use This Skill
-
-Use building-agents-core when:
-- Starting a new agent project and need to understand fundamentals
-- Need to understand agent architecture before building
-- Want to validate tool availability before proceeding
-- Learning about node types, edges, and graph execution
-
-**Next Steps:**
-- Ready to build? → Use `building-agents-construction` skill
-- Need patterns and examples? → Use `building-agents-patterns` skill
-
-## MCP Tools for Validation
-
-After writing files, optionally use MCP tools for validation:
-
-**test_node** - Validate node configuration with mock inputs
-```python
-mcp__agent-builder__test_node(
-    node_id="search-web",
-    test_input='{"query": "test query"}',
-    mock_llm_response='{"results": "mock output"}'
-)
-```
-
-**validate_graph** - Check graph structure
-```python
-mcp__agent-builder__validate_graph()
-# Returns: unreachable nodes, missing connections, etc.
-```
-
-**create_session** - Track session state for bookkeeping
-```python
-mcp__agent-builder__create_session(session_name="my-build")
-```
-
-**Key Point:** Files are written FIRST. MCP tools are for validation only.

-# Building Agents - Patterns & Best Practices
-
-Design patterns, examples, and best practices for building robust goal-driven agents.
-
-**Prerequisites:** Complete agent structure using `building-agents-construction`.
-
-## Practical Example: Hybrid Workflow
-
-How to build a node using both direct file writes and optional MCP validation:
-
-```python
-# 1. WRITE TO FILE FIRST (Primary - makes it visible)
-node_code = '''
-search_node = NodeSpec(
-    id="search-web",
-    node_type="llm_tool_use",
-    input_keys=["query"],
-    output_keys=["search_results"],
-    system_prompt="Search the web for: {query}",
-    tools=["web_search"],
-)
-'''
-
-Edit(
-    file_path="exports/research_agent/nodes/__init__.py",
-    old_string="# Nodes will be added here",
-    new_string=node_code
-)
-
-print("✅ Added search_node to nodes/__init__.py")
-print("📁 Open exports/research_agent/nodes/__init__.py to see it!")
-
-# 2. OPTIONALLY VALIDATE WITH MCP (Secondary - bookkeeping)
-validation = mcp__agent-builder__test_node(
-    node_id="search-web",
-    test_input='{"query": "python tutorials"}',
-    mock_llm_response='{"search_results": [...mock results...]}'
-)
-
-print(f"✓ Validation: {validation['success']}")
-```
-
-**User experience:**
-
-- Immediately sees node in their editor (from step 1)
-- Gets validation feedback (from step 2)
-- Can edit the file directly if needed
-
-This combines visibility (files) with validation (MCP tools).
-
-## Pause/Resume Architecture
-
-For agents needing multi-turn conversations with user interaction:
-
-### Basic Pause/Resume Flow
-
-```python
-# Define pause nodes - execution stops at these nodes
-pause_nodes = ["request-clarification", "await-approval"]
-
-# Define entry points - where to resume from each pause
-entry_points = {
-    "start": "analyze-request",  # Initial entry
-    "request-clarification_resume": "process-clarification",  # Resume from clarification
-    "await-approval_resume": "execute-action",  # Resume from approval
-}
-```
-
-### Example: Multi-Turn Research Agent
-
-```python
-# Nodes
-nodes = [
-    NodeSpec(id="analyze-request", ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="request-clarification", ...),  # PAUSE NODE
-    NodeSpec(id="process-clarification", ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="generate-results", ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="await-approval", ...),  # PAUSE NODE
-    NodeSpec(id="execute-action", ...),
-]
-
-# Edges with resume flows
-edges = [
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="analyze-to-clarify",
-        source="analyze-request",
-        target="request-clarification",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.CONDITIONAL,
-        condition_expr="needs_clarification == true",
-    ),
-    # When resumed, goes to process-clarification
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="clarify-to-process",
-        source="request-clarification",
-        target="process-clarification",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ALWAYS,
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="results-to-approval",
-        source="generate-results",
-        target="await-approval",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ALWAYS,
-    ),
-    # When resumed, goes to execute-action
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="approval-to-execute",
-        source="await-approval",
-        target="execute-action",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ALWAYS,
-    ),
-]
-
-# Configuration
-pause_nodes = ["request-clarification", "await-approval"]
-entry_points = {
-    "start": "analyze-request",
-    "request-clarification_resume": "process-clarification",
-    "await-approval_resume": "execute-action",
-}
-```
-
-### Running Pause/Resume Agents
-
-```python
-# Initial run - will pause at first pause node
-result1 = await agent.run(
-    context={"query": "research topic"},
-    session_state=None
-)
-
-# Check if paused
-if result1.paused_at:
-    print(f"Paused at: {result1.paused_at}")
-
-    # Resume with user input
-    result2 = await agent.run(
-        context={"user_response": "clarification details"},
-        session_state=result1.session_state  # Pass previous state
-    )
-```
-
-## Anti-Patterns
-
-### What NOT to Do
-
-❌ **Don't rely on `export_graph`** - Write files immediately, not at end
-```python
-# BAD: Building in session state, exporting at end
-mcp__agent-builder__add_node(...)
-mcp__agent-builder__add_node(...)
-mcp__agent-builder__export_graph()  # Files appear only now
-
-# GOOD: Writing files immediately
-Write(file_path="...", content=node_code)  # File visible now
-Write(file_path="...", content=node_code)  # File visible now
-```
-
-❌ **Don't hide code in session** - Write to files as components approved
-```python
-# BAD: Accumulating changes invisibly
-session.add_component(component1)
-session.add_component(component2)
-# User can't see anything yet
-
-# GOOD: Incremental visibility
-Edit(file_path="...", ...)  # User sees change 1
-Edit(file_path="...", ...)  # User sees change 2
-```
-
-❌ **Don't wait to write files** - Agent visible from first step
-```python
-# BAD: Building everything before writing
-design_all_nodes()
-design_all_edges()
-write_everything_at_once()
-
-# GOOD: Write as you go
-write_package_structure()  # Visible
-write_goal()  # Visible
-write_node_1()  # Visible
-write_node_2()  # Visible
-```
-
-❌ **Don't batch everything** - Write incrementally
-```python
-# BAD: Batching all nodes
-nodes = [design_node_1(), design_node_2(), ...]
-write_all_nodes(nodes)
-
-# GOOD: One at a time with user feedback
-write_node_1()  # User approves
-write_node_2()  # User approves
-write_node_3()  # User approves
-```
-
-### MCP Tools - Correct Usage
-
-**MCP tools OK for:**
-✅ `test_node` - Validate node configuration with mock inputs
-✅ `validate_graph` - Check graph structure
-✅ `create_session` - Track session state for bookkeeping
-✅ Other validation tools
-
-**Just don't:** Use MCP as the primary construction method or rely on export_graph
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Show Progress After Each Write
-
-```python
-# After writing a node
-print("✅ Added analyze_request_node to nodes/__init__.py")
-print("📊 Progress: 1/6 nodes added")
-print("📁 Open exports/my_agent/nodes/__init__.py to see it!")
-```
-
-### 2. Let User Open Files During Build
-
-```python
-# Encourage file inspection
-print("✅ Goal written to agent.py")
-print("")
-print("💡 Tip: Open exports/my_agent/agent.py in your editor to see the goal!")
-```
-
-### 3. Write Incrementally - One Component at a Time
-
-```python
-# Good flow
-write_package_structure()
-show_user("Package created")
-
-write_goal()
-show_user("Goal written")
-
-for node in nodes:
-    get_approval(node)
-    write_node(node)
-    show_user(f"Node {node.id} written")
-```
-
-### 4. Test As You Build
-
-```python
-# After adding several nodes
-print("💡 You can test current state with:")
-print("  PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m my_agent validate")
-print("  PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m my_agent info")
-```
-
-### 5. Keep User Informed
-
-```python
-# Clear status updates
-print("🔨 Creating package structure...")
-print("✅ Package created: exports/my_agent/")
-print("")
-print("📝 Next: Define agent goal")
-```
-
-## Continuous Monitoring Agents
-
-For agents that run continuously without terminal nodes:
-
-```python
-# No terminal nodes - loops forever
-terminal_nodes = []
-
-# Workflow loops back to start
-edges = [
-    EdgeSpec(id="monitor-to-check", source="monitor", target="check-condition"),
-    EdgeSpec(id="check-to-wait", source="check-condition", target="wait"),
-    EdgeSpec(id="wait-to-monitor", source="wait", target="monitor"),  # Loop
-]
-
-# Entry node only
-entry_node = "monitor"
-entry_points = {"start": "monitor"}
-pause_nodes = []
-```
-
-**Example: File Monitor**
-
-```python
-nodes = [
-    NodeSpec(id="list-files", ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="check-new-files", node_type="router", ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="process-files", ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="wait-interval", node_type="function", ...),
-]
-
-edges = [
-    EdgeSpec(id="list-to-check", source="list-files", target="check-new-files"),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="check-to-process",

-        target="process-files",

-        condition_expr="new_files_count > 0",
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="check-to-wait",
-        source="check-new-files",
-        target="wait-interval",

-]
-
-terminal_nodes = []  # No terminal - runs forever
-```
-
-## Complex Routing Patterns
-
-### Multi-Condition Router
-
-```python
-router_node = NodeSpec(
-    id="decision-router",
-    node_type="router",
-    input_keys=["analysis_result"],
-    output_keys=["decision"],
-    system_prompt="""
-    Based on the analysis result, decide the next action:
-    - If confidence > 0.9: route to "execute"
-    - If 0.5 <= confidence <= 0.9: route to "review"
-    - If confidence < 0.5: route to "clarify"
-
-    Return: {"decision": "execute|review|clarify"}
-    """,
-)
-
-# Edges for each route
-edges = [
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="router-to-execute",
-        source="decision-router",
-        target="execute-action",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.CONDITIONAL,
-        condition_expr="decision == 'execute'",
-        priority=1,
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="router-to-review",
-        source="decision-router",
-        target="human-review",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.CONDITIONAL,
-        condition_expr="decision == 'review'",
-        priority=2,
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="router-to-clarify",
-        source="decision-router",
-        target="request-clarification",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.CONDITIONAL,
-        condition_expr="decision == 'clarify'",
-        priority=3,
-    ),
-]
-```
-
-## Error Handling Patterns
-
-### Graceful Failure with Fallback
-
-```python
-# Primary node with error handling
-nodes = [
-    NodeSpec(id="api-call", max_retries=3, ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="fallback-cache", ...),
-    NodeSpec(id="report-error", ...),
-]
-
-edges = [
-    # Success path
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="api-success",
-        source="api-call",
-        target="process-results",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ON_SUCCESS,
-    ),
-    # Fallback on failure
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="api-to-fallback",
-        source="api-call",
-        target="fallback-cache",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ON_FAILURE,
-        priority=1,
-    ),
-    # Report if fallback also fails
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="fallback-to-error",
-        source="fallback-cache",
-        target="report-error",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ON_FAILURE,
-        priority=1,
-    ),
-]
-```
-
-## Performance Optimization
-
-### Parallel Node Execution
-
-```python
-# Use multiple edges from same source for parallel execution
-edges = [
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="start-to-search1",
-        source="start",
-        target="search-source-1",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ALWAYS,
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="start-to-search2",
-        source="start",
-        target="search-source-2",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ALWAYS,
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="start-to-search3",
-        source="start",
-        target="search-source-3",
-        condition=EdgeCondition.ALWAYS,
-    ),
-    # Converge results
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="search1-to-merge",
-        source="search-source-1",
-        target="merge-results",
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="search2-to-merge",
-        source="search-source-2",
-        target="merge-results",
-    ),
-    EdgeSpec(
-        id="search3-to-merge",
-        source="search-source-3",
-        target="merge-results",
-    ),
-]
-```
-
-## Handoff to Testing
-
-When agent is complete, transition to testing phase:
-
-```python
-print("""
-✅ Agent complete: exports/my_agent/
-
-Next steps:
-1. Switch to testing-agent skill
-2. Generate and approve tests
-3. Run evaluation
-4. Debug any failures
-
-Command: "Test the agent at exports/my_agent/"
-""")
-```
-
-### Pre-Testing Checklist
-
-Before handing off to testing-agent:
-
-- [ ] Agent structure validates: `python -m agent_name validate`
-- [ ] All nodes defined in nodes/__init__.py
-- [ ] All edges connect valid nodes
-- [ ] Entry node specified
-- [ ] Agent can be imported: `from exports.agent_name import default_agent`
-- [ ] README.md with usage instructions
-- [ ] CLI commands work (info, validate)

+# Integration Test Reporting Skill
+
+Run the Level 2 dummy agent integration test suite and produce a detailed HTML report with per-test input → outcome analysis.
+
+## Trigger
+
+User wants to run integration tests and see results:
+- `/test-reporting`
+- `/test-reporting test_component_queen_live.py`
+- `/test-reporting --all`
+
+## SOP: Running Tests
+
+### Step 1: Select Scope
+
+If the user provides a specific test file or pattern, use it. Otherwise run the full suite.
+
+```bash
+# Full suite
+cd core && echo "1" | uv run python tests/dummy_agents/run_all.py --interactive 2>&1
+
+# Specific file (requires manual provider setup)
+cd core && uv run python -c "
+import sys
+sys.path.insert(0, '.')
+from tests.dummy_agents.run_all import detect_available
+from tests.dummy_agents.conftest import set_llm_selection
+
+avail = detect_available()
+claude = [p for p in avail if 'Claude Code' in p['name']]
+if not claude:
+    avail_names = [p['name'] for p in avail]
+    raise RuntimeError(f'No Claude Code subscription. Available: {avail_names}')
+provider = claude[0]
+set_llm_selection(
+    model=provider['model'],
+    api_key=provider['api_key'],
+    extra_headers=provider.get('extra_headers'),
+    api_base=provider.get('api_base'),
+)
+
+import pytest
+sys.exit(pytest.main([
+    'tests/dummy_agents/TEST_FILE_HERE',
+    '-v', '--override-ini=asyncio_mode=auto', '--no-header', '--tb=long',
+    '--log-cli-level=WARNING', '--junitxml=/tmp/hive_test_results.xml',
+]))
+"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Collect Results
+
+After the test run completes, collect:
+1. **JUnit XML** from `--junitxml` output (if available)
+2. **stdout/stderr** from the run
+3. **Summary table** from `run_all.py` output (the Unicode table)
+
+### Step 3: Generate HTML Report
+
+Write the report to `/tmp/hive_integration_test_report.html`.
+
+The report MUST include these sections:
+
+#### Header
+- Run timestamp (ISO 8601)
+- Provider used (model name, source)
+- Total tests / passed / failed / skipped
+- Total wall-clock time
+- Overall verdict: PASS (all green) or FAIL (with count)
+
+#### Per-Test Table
+
+For EVERY test (not just failures), include a row with:
+
+| Column | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| Component | Test file grouping (e.g., `component_queen_live`) |
+| Test Name | Function name (e.g., `test_queen_starts_in_planning_without_worker`) |
+| Status | PASS / FAIL / SKIP / ERROR with color badge |
+| Duration | Wall-clock seconds |
+| What | One-line description of what the test verifies |
+| How | How it works (setup → action → assertion) |
+| Why | Why this test matters (what bug/behavior it catches) |
+| Input | The input data or configuration (graph spec, initial prompt, phase, etc.) |
+| Expected Outcome | What the test asserts |
+| Actual Outcome | What actually happened (PASS: matches expected / FAIL: actual vs expected) |
+| Failure Detail | For failures only: full traceback + diagnosis |
+
+#### What / How / Why Descriptions
+
+These MUST be derived from the test function's docstring and code. Read each test file to extract:
+- **What**: From the docstring first line
+- **How**: From the test body (what fixtures, what graph, what assertions)
+- **Why**: From the docstring body or "Why this matters" section in the test module
+
+Use these mappings for the component test files:
+
+```
+test_component_llm.py          → "LLM Provider" — streaming, tool calling, tokens
+test_component_tools.py        → "Tool Registry + MCP" — connection, execution
+test_component_event_loop.py   → "EventLoopNode" — iteration, output, stall
+test_component_edges.py        → "Edge Evaluation" — conditional, priority
+test_component_conversation.py → "Conversation Persistence" — storage, cursor
+test_component_escalation.py   → "Escalation Flow" — worker→queen signaling
+test_component_continuous.py   → "Continuous Mode" — conversation threading
+test_component_queen.py        → "Queen Phase (Unit)" — phase state, tools, events
+test_component_queen_live.py   → "Queen Phase (Live)" — real queen, real LLM
+test_component_queen_state_machine.py → "Queen State Machine" — edge cases, races
+test_component_worker_comms.py → "Worker Communication" — events, data flow
+test_component_strict_outcomes.py → "Strict Outcomes" — exact path, output, quality
+```
+
+#### HTML Template
+
+Use this structure:
+
+```html

+
+### Step 4: Output
+
+1. Write the HTML file to `/tmp/hive_integration_test_report.html`
+2. Print the file path so the user can open it
+3. Print a concise summary to the terminal:
+   ```
+   Test Report: /tmp/hive_integration_test_report.html
+   Result: 74/76 PASSED (2 failures)
+   Failures:
+     - parallel_merge::test_parallel_disjoint_output_keys
+     - worker::test_worker_timestamped_note_artifact
+   ```
+
+## Key Rules
+
+1. ALWAYS use `--junitxml` when running pytest to get structured results
+2. ALWAYS read the test source files to populate What/How/Why columns — do not guess
+3. For Input/Expected/Actual, extract from the test's graph spec, assertions, and result
+4. Color-code everything: green for pass, red for fail, amber for skip
+5. Include the full traceback for failures in a scrollable `<div class="detail">`
+6. Group tests by component (file name) with a visual separator
+7. The report must be self-contained HTML (no external CSS/JS dependencies)

-# Example: Testing a YouTube Research Agent
-
-This example walks through testing a YouTube research agent that finds relevant videos based on a topic.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Agent built with building-agents skill at `exports/youtube-research/`
-- Goal defined with success criteria and constraints
-
-## Step 1: Load the Goal
-
-First, load the goal that was defined during the Goal stage:
-
-```json
-{
-    "id": "youtube-research",
-    "name": "YouTube Research Agent",
-    "description": "Find relevant YouTube videos on a given topic",
-    "success_criteria": [
-        {
-            "id": "find_videos",
-            "description": "Find 3-5 relevant videos",
-            "metric": "video_count",
-            "target": "3-5",
-            "weight": 1.0
-        },
-        {
-            "id": "relevance",
-            "description": "Videos must be relevant to the topic",
-            "metric": "relevance_score",
-            "target": ">0.8",
-            "weight": 0.8
-        }
-    ],
-    "constraints": [
-        {
-            "id": "api_limits",
-            "description": "Must not exceed YouTube API rate limits",
-            "constraint_type": "hard",
-            "category": "technical"
-        },
-        {
-            "id": "content_safety",
-            "description": "Must filter out inappropriate content",
-            "constraint_type": "hard",
-            "category": "safety"
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-## Step 2: Generate Constraint Tests
-
-During the Goal stage (or early Eval), generate tests for constraints:
-
-```python
-result = generate_constraint_tests(
-    goal_id="youtube-research",
-    goal_json='<goal JSON above>'
-)
-```

-        "description": "The goal is correct, but filter_node doesn't handle null results from search_node."
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Step 8: Iterate Based on Category
-
-Since this is an **IMPLEMENTATION_ERROR**, we:
-
-1. **Don't restart** the Goal → Agent → Eval flow
-2. **Fix the agent** using building-agents skill:
-   - Modify `filter_node` to handle null results
-3. **Re-run Eval** (tests only)
-
-### Fix in building-agents:
-
-```python
-# Update the filter_node to handle null
-add_node(
-    node_id="filter_node",
-    name="Filter Node",
-    description="Filter and rank videos",
-    node_type="function",
-    input_keys=["search_results"],
-    output_keys=["filtered_videos"],
-    system_prompt="""
-    Filter videos by relevance.
-    IMPORTANT: Handle case where search_results is None or empty.
-    Return empty list if no results.
-    """
-)
-```
-
-### Re-export and re-test:
-
-```python
-# Re-export the fixed agent
-export_graph(path="exports/youtube-research")
-
-# Re-run tests
-result = run_tests(
-    goal_id="youtube-research",
-    agent_path="exports/youtube-research",
-    test_types='["all"]'
-)
-```
-
-**Updated Results:**
-
-```json
-{
-    "goal_id": "youtube-research",
-    "overall_passed": true,
-    "summary": {
-        "total": 6,
-        "passed": 6,
-        "failed": 0,
-        "pass_rate": "100.0%"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Summary
-
-1. **Generated** constraint tests during Goal stage
-2. **Generated** success criteria tests during Eval stage
-3. **Approved** all tests with user review
-4. **Ran** tests in parallel
-5. **Debugged** the one failure
-6. **Categorized** as IMPLEMENTATION_ERROR
-7. **Fixed** the agent (not the goal)
-8. **Re-ran** Eval only (didn't restart full flow)
-9. **Passed** all tests
-
-The agent is now validated and ready for production use.

+# Triage Issue Skill
+
+Analyze a GitHub issue, verify claims against the codebase, and close invalid issues with a technical response.
+
+## Trigger
+
+User provides a GitHub issue URL or number, e.g.:
+- `/triage-issue 1970`
+- `/triage-issue https://github.com/adenhq/hive/issues/1970`
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Fetch Issue Details
+
+```bash
+gh issue view <number> --repo adenhq/hive --json title,body,state,labels,author
+```
+
+Extract:
+- Title
+- Body (the claim/bug report)
+- Current state
+- Labels
+- Author
+
+If issue is already closed, inform user and stop.
+
+### Step 2: Analyze the Claim
+
+Read the issue body and identify:
+1. **The core claim** - What is the user asserting?
+2. **Technical specifics** - File paths, function names, code snippets mentioned
+3. **Expected behavior** - What do they think should happen?
+4. **Severity claimed** - Security issue? Bug? Feature request?
+
+### Step 3: Investigate the Codebase
+
+For each technical claim:
+1. Find the referenced code using Grep/Glob/Read
+2. Understand the actual implementation
+3. Check if the claim accurately describes the behavior
+4. Look for related tests, documentation, or design decisions
+
+### Step 4: Evaluate Validity
+
+Categorize the issue as one of:
+
+| Category | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| **Valid Bug** | Do NOT close. Inform user this is a real issue. |
+| **Valid Feature Request** | Do NOT close. Suggest labeling appropriately. |
+| **Misunderstanding** | Prepare technical explanation for why behavior is correct. |
+| **Fundamentally Flawed** | Prepare critique explaining the technical impossibility or design rationale. |
+| **Duplicate** | Find the original issue and prepare duplicate notice. |
+| **Incomplete** | Prepare request for more information. |
+
+### Step 5: Draft Response
+
+For issues to be closed, draft a response that:
+
+1. **Acknowledges the concern** - Don't be dismissive
+2. **Explains the actual behavior** - With code references
+3. **Provides technical rationale** - Why it works this way
+4. **References industry standards** - If applicable
+5. **Offers alternatives** - If there's a better approach for the user
+
+Use this template:
+
+```markdown
+## Analysis
+
+[Brief summary of what was investigated]
+
+## Technical Details
+
+[Explanation with code references]
+
+## Why This Is Working As Designed
+
+[Rationale]
+
+## Recommendation
+
+[What the user should do instead, if applicable]
+
+---
+*This issue was reviewed and closed by the maintainers.*
+```
+
+### Step 6: User Review
+
+Present the draft to the user with:
+
+```
+## Issue #<number>: <title>
+
+**Claim:** <summary of claim>
+
+**Finding:** <valid/invalid/misunderstanding/etc>
+
+**Draft Response:**
+<the markdown response>
+
+---
+Do you want me to post this comment and close the issue?
+```
+
+Use AskUserQuestion with options:
+- "Post and close" - Post comment, close issue
+- "Edit response" - Let user modify the response
+- "Skip" - Don't take action
+
+### Step 7: Execute Action
+
+If user approves:
+
+```bash
+# Post comment
+gh issue comment <number> --repo adenhq/hive --body "<response>"
+
+# Close issue
+gh issue close <number> --repo adenhq/hive --reason "not planned"
+```
+
+Report success with link to the issue.
+
+## Important Guidelines
+
+1. **Never close valid issues** - If there's any merit to the claim, don't close it
+2. **Be respectful** - The reporter took time to file the issue
+3. **Be technical** - Provide code references and evidence
+4. **Be educational** - Help them understand, don't just dismiss
+5. **Check twice** - Make sure you understand the code before declaring something invalid
+6. **Consider edge cases** - Maybe their environment reveals a real issue
+
+## Example Critiques
+
+### Security Misunderstanding
+> "The claim that secrets are exposed in plaintext misunderstands the encryption architecture. While `SecretStr` is used for logging protection, actual encryption is provided by Fernet (AES-128-CBC) at the storage layer. The code path is: serialize → encrypt → write. Only encrypted bytes touch disk."
+
+### Impossible Request
+> "The requested feature would require [X] which violates [fundamental constraint]. This is not a limitation of our implementation but a fundamental property of [technology/protocol]."
+
+### Already Handled
+> "This scenario is already handled by [code reference]. The reporter may be using an older version or misconfigured environment."

+This project uses ruff for Python linting and formatting.
+
+Rules:
+- Line length: 100 characters
+- Python target: 3.11+
+- Use double quotes for strings
+- Sort imports with isort (ruff I rules): stdlib, third-party, first-party (framework), local
+- Combine as-imports
+- Use type hints on all function signatures
+- Use `from __future__ import annotations` for modern type syntax
+- Raise exceptions with `from` in except blocks (B904)
+- No unused imports (F401), no unused variables (F841)
+- Prefer list/dict/set comprehensions over map/filter (C4)
+
+Run `make lint` to auto-fix, `make check` to verify without modifying files.
+Run `make format` to apply ruff formatting.
+
+The ruff config lives in core/pyproject.toml under [tool.ruff].

+            Analyze this new issue and perform triage tasks.
+
+            Issue: #${{ github.event.issue.number }}
+            Repository: ${{ github.repository }}
+
+            ## Your Tasks:
+
+            ### 1. Get issue details
+            Use mcp__github__get_issue to get the full details of issue #${{ github.event.issue.number }}
+
+            ### 2. Check for duplicates
+            Search for similar existing issues using mcp__github__search_issues with relevant keywords from the issue title and body.
+
+            Criteria for duplicates:
+            - Same bug or error being reported
+            - Same feature request (even if worded differently)
+            - Same question being asked
+            - Issues describing the same root problem
+
+            If you find a duplicate:
+            - Add a comment using EXACTLY this format (required for auto-close to work):
+              "Found a possible duplicate of #<issue_number>: <brief explanation of why it's a duplicate>"
+            - Do NOT apply the "duplicate" label yet (the auto-close script will add it after 12 hours if no objections)
+            - Suggest the user react with a thumbs-down if they disagree
+
+            ### 3. Check for Low-Quality / AI Spam
+            Analyze the issue quality. We are receiving many low-effort, AI-generated spam issues.
+            Flag the issue as INVALID if it matches these criteria:
+            - **Vague/Generic**: Title is "Fix bug" or "Error" without specific context.
+            - **Hallucinated**: Refers to files or features that do not exist in this repo.
+            - **Template Filler**: Body contains "Insert description here" or unrelated gibberish.
+            - **Low Effort**: No reproduction steps, no logs, only 1-2 sentences.
+
+            If identified as spam/low-quality:
+            - Add the "invalid" label.
+            - Add a comment:
+              "This issue has been automatically flagged as low-quality or potentially AI-generated spam. It lacks specific details (logs, reproduction steps, file references) required for us to help. Please open a new issue following the template exactly if this is a legitimate request."
+            - Do NOT proceed to other steps.
+
+            ### 4. Check for invalid issues (General)
+            If the issue is not spam but still lacks information:
+            - Add the "invalid" label
+            - Comment asking for clarification
+
+            ### 5. Categorize with labels (if NOT a duplicate or spam)
+            Apply appropriate labels based on the issue content. Use ONLY these labels:
+            - bug: Something isn't working
+            - enhancement: New feature or request
+            - question: Further information is requested
+            - documentation: Improvements or additions to documentation
+            - good first issue: Good for newcomers (if issue is well-defined and small scope)
+            - help wanted: Extra attention is needed (if issue needs community input)
+            - backlog: Tracked for the future, but not currently planned or prioritized
+
+            ### 6. Estimate size (if NOT a duplicate, spam, or invalid)
+            Apply exactly ONE size label to help contributors match their capacity to the task:
+            - "size: small": Docs, typos, single-file fixes, config changes
+            - "size: medium": Bug fixes with tests, adding a single tool, changes within one package
+            - "size: large": Cross-package changes (core + tools), new modules, complex logic, architectural refactors
+
+            You may apply multiple labels if appropriate (e.g., "bug", "size: small", and "good first issue").
+
+            ## Tools Available:
+            - mcp__github__get_issue: Get issue details
+            - mcp__github__search_issues: Search for similar issues
+            - mcp__github__list_issues: List recent issues if needed
+            - mcp__github__add_issue_comment: Add a comment
+            - mcp__github__update_issue: Add labels
+            - mcp__github__get_issue_comments: Get existing comments
+
+            Be thorough but efficient. Focus on accurate categorization and finding true duplicates.

+# Repository Guidelines
+
+Shared agent instructions for this workspace.
+
+## Coding Agent Notes
+
+- 
+- When working on a GitHub Issue or PR, print the full URL at the end of the task.
+- When answering questions, respond with high-confidence answers only: verify in code; do not guess.
+- Do not update dependencies casually. Version bumps, patched dependencies, overrides, or vendored dependency changes require explicit approval.
+- Add brief comments for tricky logic. Keep files reasonably small when practical; split or refactor large files instead of growing them indefinitely.
+- If shared guardrails are available locally, review them; otherwise follow this repo's guidance.
+- Use `uv` for Python execution and package management. Do not use `python` or `python3` directly unless the user explicitly asks for it.
+- Prefer `uv run` for scripts and tests, and `uv pip` for package operations.
+
+
+## Multi-Agent Safety
+
+- Do not create, apply, or drop `git stash` entries unless explicitly requested.
+- Do not create, remove, or modify `git worktree` checkouts unless explicitly requested.
+- Do not switch branches or check out a different branch unless explicitly requested.
+- When the user says `push`, you may `git pull --rebase` to integrate latest changes, but never discard other in-progress work.
+- When the user says `commit`, commit only your changes. When the user says `commit all`, commit everything in grouped chunks.
+- When you see unrecognized files or unrelated changes, keep going and focus on your scoped changes.
+
+## Change Hygiene
+
+- If staged and unstaged diffs are formatting-only, resolve them without asking.
+- If a commit or push was already requested, include formatting-only follow-up changes in that same commit when practical.
+- Only stop to ask for confirmation when changes are semantic and may alter behavior.

-The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
-and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+**Release Date:** March 13, 2026
+**Tag:** v0.7.1
 
-## [Unreleased]
+### Chrome-Native Browser Control
 
-### Added
-- Initial project structure
-- React frontend (honeycomb) with Vite and TypeScript
-- Node.js backend (hive) with Express and TypeScript
-- Docker Compose configuration for local development
-- Configuration system via `config.yaml`
-- GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows
-- Comprehensive documentation
+v0.7.1 replaces Playwright with direct Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) integration. The GCU now launches the user's system Chrome via `open -n` on macOS, connects over CDP, and manages browser lifecycle end-to-end -- no extra browser binary required.
 
-### Changed
-- N/A
+---
 
-### Deprecated
-- N/A
+### Highlights
 
-### Removed
-- N/A
+#### System Chrome via CDP
 
-### Fixed
-- N/A
+The entire GCU browser stack has been rewritten:
 
-### Security
-- N/A
+- **Chrome finder & launcher** -- New `chrome_finder.py` discovers installed Chrome and `chrome_launcher.py` manages process lifecycle with `--remote-debugging-port`
+- **Coexist with user's browser** -- `open -n` on macOS launches a separate Chrome instance so the user's tabs stay untouched
+- **Dynamic viewport sizing** -- Viewport auto-sizes to the available display area, suppressing Chrome warning bars
+- **Orphan cleanup** -- Chrome processes are killed on GCU server shutdown to prevent leaks
+- **`--no-startup-window`** -- Chrome launches headlessly by default until a page is needed
 
-## [0.1.0] - 2025-01-13
+#### Per-Subagent Browser Isolation
 
-### Added
-- Initial release
+Each GCU subagent gets its own Chrome user-data directory, preventing cookie/session cross-contamination:
 
-[Unreleased]: https://github.com/adenhq/hive/compare/v0.1.0...HEAD
-[0.1.0]: https://github.com/adenhq/hive/releases/tag/v0.1.0
+- Unique browser profiles injected per subagent
+- Profiles cleaned up after top-level GCU node execution
+- Tab origin and age metadata tracked per subagent
+
+#### Dummy Agent Testing Framework
+
+A comprehensive test suite for validating agent graph patterns without LLM calls:
+
+- 8 test modules covering echo, pipeline, branch, parallel merge, retry, feedback loop, worker, and GCU subagent patterns
+- Shared fixtures and a `run_all.py` runner for CI integration
+- Subagent lifecycle tests
+

+
+### The Hive Gets a Brain
+
+v0.5.1 is our most ambitious release yet. Hive agents can now **build other agents** -- the new Hive Coder meta-agent writes, tests, and fixes agent packages from natural language. The runtime grows multi-graph support so one session can orchestrate multiple agents simultaneously. The TUI gets a complete overhaul with an in-app agent picker, live streaming, and seamless escalation to the Coder. And we're now provider-agnostic: Claude Code subscriptions, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and any LiteLLM-supported model work out of the box.
+
+---
+
+### Highlights
+
+#### Hive Coder -- The Agent That Builds Agents
+
+A native meta-agent that lives inside the framework at `core/framework/agents/hive_coder/`. Give it a natural-language specification and it produces a complete agent package -- goal definition, node prompts, edge routing, MCP tool wiring, tests, and all boilerplate files.
+
+```bash
+# Launch the Coder directly
+hive code
+
+# Or escalate from any running agent (TUI)
+Ctrl+E  # or /coder in chat
+```
+
+The Coder ships with:
+
+- **Reference documentation** -- anti-patterns, construction guide, and design patterns baked into its system prompt
+- **Guardian watchdog** -- an event-driven monitor that catches agent failures and triggers automatic remediation
+- **Coder Tools MCP server** -- file I/O, fuzzy-match editing, git snapshots, and sandboxed shell execution (`tools/coder_tools_server.py`)
+- **Test generation** -- structural tests for forever-alive agents that don't hang on `runner.run()`
+
+#### Multi-Graph Agent Runtime
+
+`AgentRuntime` now supports loading, managing, and switching between multiple agent graphs within a single session. Six new lifecycle tools give agents (and the TUI) full control:
+
+```python
+# Load a second agent into the runtime
+await runtime.add_graph("exports/deep_research_agent")
+
+# Tools available to agents:
+# load_agent, unload_agent, start_agent, restart_agent, list_agents, get_user_presence
+```
+
+The Hive Coder uses multi-graph internally -- when you escalate from a worker agent, the Coder loads as a separate graph while the worker stays alive in the background.
+
+#### TUI Revamp
+
+The Terminal UI gets a ground-up rebuild with five major additions:
+
+- **Agent Picker** (Ctrl+A) -- tabbed modal screen for browsing Your Agents, Framework agents, and Examples with metadata badges (node count, tool count, session count, tags)
+- **Runtime-optional startup** -- TUI launches without a pre-loaded agent, showing the picker on first open
+- **Live streaming pane** -- dedicated RichLog widget shows LLM tokens as they arrive, replacing the old one-token-per-line display
+- **PDF attachments** -- `/attach` and `/detach` commands with native OS file dialog (macOS, Linux, Windows)
+- **Multi-graph commands** -- `/graphs`, `/graph <id>`, `/load <path>`, `/unload <id>` for managing agent graphs in-session
+
+#### Provider-Agnostic LLM Support
+
+Hive is no longer Anthropic-only. v0.5.1 adds first-class support for:
+
+- **Claude Code subscriptions** -- `use_claude_code_subscription: true` in `~/.hive/configuration.json` reads OAuth tokens from `~/.claude/.credentials.json` with automatic refresh
+- **OpenAI-compatible endpoints** -- `api_base` config routes traffic through any compatible API (Azure OpenAI, vLLM, Ollama, etc.)
+- **Any LiteLLM model** -- `RuntimeConfig` now passes `api_key`, `api_base`, and `extra_kwargs` through to LiteLLM
+
+The quickstart script auto-detects Claude Code subscriptions and ZAI Code installations.
+
+---
+
+### What's New
+
+#### Architecture & Runtime
+
+- **Hive Coder meta-agent** -- Natural-language agent builder with reference docs, guardian watchdog, and `hive code` CLI command. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Multi-graph agent sessions** -- `add_graph`/`remove_graph` on AgentRuntime with 6 lifecycle tools (`load_agent`, `unload_agent`, `start_agent`, `restart_agent`, `list_agents`, `get_user_presence`). (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Claude Code subscription support** -- OAuth token refresh via `use_claude_code_subscription` config, auto-detection in quickstart, LiteLLM header patching. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **OpenAI-compatible endpoint support** -- `api_base` and `extra_kwargs` in `RuntimeConfig` for any OpenAI-compatible API. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Remove deprecated node types** -- Delete `FlexibleGraphExecutor`, `WorkerNode`, `HybridJudge`, `CodeSandbox`, `Plan`, `FunctionNode`, `LLMNode`, `RouterNode`. Deprecated types (`llm_tool_use`, `llm_generate`, `function`, `router`, `human_input`) now raise `RuntimeError` with migration guidance. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Interactive credential setup** -- Guided `CredentialSetupSession` with health checks and encrypted storage, accessible via `hive setup-credentials` or automatic prompting on credential errors. (@RichardTang-Aden)
+- **Pre-start confirmation prompt** -- Interactive prompt before agent execution allowing credential updates or abort. (@RichardTang-Aden)
+- **Event bus multi-graph support** -- `graph_id` on events, `filter_graph` on subscriptions, `ESCALATION_REQUESTED` event type, `exclude_own_graph` filter. (@TimothyZhang7)
+
+#### TUI Improvements
+
+- **In-app agent picker** (Ctrl+A) -- Tabbed modal for browsing agents with metadata badges (nodes, tools, sessions, tags). (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Runtime-optional TUI startup** -- Launches without a pre-loaded agent, shows agent picker on startup. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Hive Coder escalation** (Ctrl+E) -- Escalate to Hive Coder and return; also available via `/coder` and `/back` chat commands. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **PDF attachment support** -- `/attach` and `/detach` commands with native OS file dialog. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Streaming output pane** -- Dedicated RichLog widget for live LLM token streaming. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Multi-graph TUI commands** -- `/graphs`, `/graph <id>`, `/load <path>`, `/unload <id>`. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Agent Guardian watchdog** -- Event-driven monitor that catches secondary agent failures and triggers automatic remediation, with `--no-guardian` CLI flag. (@TimothyZhang7)

+
+#### Infrastructure
+
+- **Default node type → `event_loop`** -- `NodeSpec.node_type` defaults to `"event_loop"` instead of `"llm_tool_use"`. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Default `max_node_visits` → 0 (unlimited)** -- Nodes default to unlimited visits, reducing friction for feedback loops and forever-alive agents. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Remove `function` field from NodeSpec** -- Follows deprecation of `FunctionNode`. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **LiteLLM OAuth patch** -- Correct header construction for OAuth tokens (remove `x-api-key` when Bearer token is present). (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Orchestrator config centralization** -- Reads `api_key`, `api_base`, `extra_kwargs` from centralized `~/.hive/configuration.json`. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **System prompt datetime injection** -- All system prompts now include current date/time for time-aware agent behavior. (@TimothyZhang7)
+- **Utils module exports** -- Proper `__init__.py` exports for the utils module. (@Siddharth2624)
+- **Increased default max_tokens** -- Opus 4.6 defaults to 32768, Sonnet 4.5 to 16384 (up from 8192). (@TimothyZhang7)
+
+---
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Flush WIP accumulator outputs on cancel/failure so edge conditions see correct values on resume
+- Stall detection state preserved across resume (no more resets on checkpoint restore)
+- Skip client-facing blocking for event-triggered executions (timer/webhook)
+- Executor retry override scoped to actual EventLoopNode instances only
+- Add `_awaiting_input` flag to EventLoopNode to prevent input injection race conditions
+- Fix TUI streaming display (tokens no longer appear one-per-line)
+- Fix `_return_from_escalation` crash when ChatRepl widgets not yet mounted
+- Fix tools registration problems for Google Docs credentials (@RichardTang-Aden)
+- Fix email agent version conflicts (@RichardTang-Aden)
+- Fix coder tool timeouts (120s for tests, 300s cap for commands)
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Clarify installation and prevent root pip install misuse (@paarths-collab)
+
+---
+
+### Agent Updates
+
+- **Email Inbox Management** -- Consolidate `gmail_inbox_guardian` and `inbox_management` into a single unified agent with updated prompts and config. (@RichardTang-Aden, @bryanadenhq)
+- **Job Hunter** -- Updated node prompts, config, and agent metadata; added PDF resume selection. (@bryanadenhq)
+- **Deep Research Agent** -- Revised node implementations with updated prompts and output handling.
+- **Tech News Reporter** -- Revised node prompts for improved output quality.
+- **Vulnerability Assessment** -- Expanded prompts with more detailed assessment instructions. (@bryanadenhq)
+
+---
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- **Deprecated node types raise `RuntimeError`** -- `llm_tool_use`, `llm_generate`, `function`, `router`, `human_input` now fail instead of warning. Migrate to `event_loop`.
+- **`NodeSpec.node_type` defaults to `"event_loop"`** (was `"llm_tool_use"`)
+- **`NodeSpec.max_node_visits` defaults to `0` / unlimited** (was `1`)
+- **`NodeSpec.function` field removed** -- `FunctionNode` is deleted; use event_loop nodes with tools instead.
+
+---
+
+### Community Contributors
+
+A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this release:
+
+- **Richard Tang** (@RichardTang-Aden) -- Interactive credential setup, pre-start confirmation, email agent consolidation, tool registration fixes, lint and formatting
+- **Pravin Mishra** (@mishrapravin114) -- Discord integration with 4 MCP tools
+- **Jeet Karia** (@JeetKaria06) -- Exa Search API integration with 4 AI-powered search tools
+- **Shivam Shahi** (@shivamshahi07) -- Razorpay payment processing integration
+- **Siddharth Varshney** (@Siddharth2624) -- Utils module exports
+- **@haliaeetusvocifer** -- Google Docs integration with OAuth support
+- **Bryan** (@bryanadenhq) -- PDF selection, inbox agent fixes, Job Hunter and Vulnerability Assessment updates
+- **@paarths-collab** -- Documentation improvements
+
+---
+
+### Upgrading
+
+```bash
+git pull origin main
+uv sync
+```
+
+#### Migration Guide
+
+If your agents use deprecated node types, update them:
+
+```python
+# Before (v0.5.0) -- these now raise RuntimeError
+NodeSpec(node_type="llm_tool_use", ...)
+NodeSpec(node_type="function", function=my_func, ...)
+
+# After (v0.5.1) -- use event_loop for everything
+NodeSpec(node_type="event_loop", ...)  # or just omit node_type (it's the default now)
+```
+
+If your agents set `max_node_visits=1` explicitly, they'll still work. The only change is the _default_ -- new agents without an explicit value now get unlimited visits.
+
+To try the new Hive Coder:
+
+```bash
+# Launch Coder directly
+hive code
+
+# Or from TUI -- press Ctrl+E to escalate
+hive tui
+```

-## Repository Overview
-
-Aden Agent Framework is a Python-based system for building goal-driven, self-improving AI agents.
-
-| Package       | Directory  | Description                                  | Tech Stack        |
-| ------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
-| **framework** | `/core`    | Core runtime, graph executor, protocols      | Python 3.11+      |
-| **tools**     | `/tools`   | 19 MCP tools for agent capabilities          | Python 3.11+      |
-| **exports**   | `/exports` | Agent packages and examples                  | Python 3.11+      |
-| **skills**    | `.claude`  | Claude Code skills for building/testing      | Markdown          |
-
-### Key Principles
-
-- **Goal-Driven Development**: Define objectives, framework generates agent graphs
-- **Self-Improving**: Agents adapt and evolve based on failures
-- **SDK-Wrapped Nodes**: Built-in memory, monitoring, and tool access
-- **Human-in-the-Loop**: Intervention points for human oversight
-- **Production-Ready**: Evaluation, testing, and deployment infrastructure
-
----
-
-## Initial Setup
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-Ensure you have installed:
-
-- **Python 3.11+** - [Download](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (3.12 or 3.13 recommended)
-- **pip** - Package installer for Python (comes with Python)
-- **git** - Version control
-- **Claude Code** - [Install](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/claude-code) (optional, for using building skills)
-
-Verify installation:
-
-```bash
-python --version    # Should be 3.11+
-pip --version       # Should be latest
-git --version       # Any recent version
-```
-
-### Step-by-Step Setup
-
-```bash
-# 1. Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/adenhq/hive.git
-cd hive
-
-# 2. Run automated Python setup
-./scripts/setup-python.sh
-```
-
-The setup script performs these actions:
-
-1. Checks Python version (3.10+ required, 3.11+ recommended)
-2. Installs `framework` package from `/core` (editable mode)
-3. Installs `aden_tools` package from `/tools` (editable mode)
-4. Fixes package compatibility (upgrades openai for litellm)
-5. Verifies all installations
-
-### API Keys (Optional)
-
-For running agents with real LLMs:
-
-```bash
-# Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.)
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
-export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"        # Optional
-export BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY="your-key-here"  # Optional, for web search tool
-```
-
-Get API keys:
-- **Anthropic**: [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com/)
-- **OpenAI**: [platform.openai.com](https://platform.openai.com/)
-- **Brave Search**: [brave.com/search/api](https://brave.com/search/api/)
-
-### Install Claude Code Skills
-
-```bash
-# Install building-agents and testing-agent skills
-./quickstart.sh
-```
-
-This installs:
-- `/building-agents` - Build new goal-driven agents
-- `/testing-agent` - Test agents with evaluation framework
-
-### Verify Setup
-
-```bash
-# Verify package imports
-python -c "import framework; print('✓ framework OK')"
-python -c "import aden_tools; print('✓ aden_tools OK')"
-python -c "import litellm; print('✓ litellm OK')"
-
-# Run an example agent
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent validate
-```

-## Building Agents
-
-### Using Claude Code Skills
-
-The fastest way to build agents is using the Claude Code skills:
-
-```bash
-# Install skills (one-time)
-./quickstart.sh
-
-# Build a new agent
-claude> /building-agents
-
-# Test the agent
-claude> /testing-agent
-```
-
-### Agent Development Workflow
-
-1. **Define Your Goal**
-   ```
-   claude> /building-agents
-   Enter goal: "Build an agent that processes customer support tickets"
-   ```
-
-2. **Design the Workflow**
-   - The skill guides you through defining nodes
-   - Each node is a unit of work (LLM call, function, router)
-   - Edges define how execution flows
-
-3. **Generate the Agent**
-   - The skill generates a complete Python package in `exports/`
-   - Includes: `agent.json`, `tools.py`, `README.md`
-
-4. **Validate the Agent**
-   ```bash
-   PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m your_agent_name validate
-   ```
-
-5. **Test the Agent**
-   ```
-   claude> /testing-agent
-   ```
-
-### Manual Agent Development
-
-If you prefer to build agents manually:
-
-```python
-# exports/my_agent/agent.json
-{
-  "goal": {
-    "goal_id": "support_ticket",
-    "name": "Support Ticket Handler",
-    "description": "Process customer support tickets",
-    "success_criteria": "Ticket is categorized, prioritized, and routed correctly"
-  },
-  "nodes": [
-    {
-      "node_id": "analyze",
-      "name": "Analyze Ticket",
-      "node_type": "llm",
-      "system_prompt": "Analyze this support ticket...",
-      "input_keys": ["ticket_content"],
-      "output_keys": ["category", "priority"]
-    }
-  ],
-  "edges": [
-    {
-      "edge_id": "start_to_analyze",
-      "source": "START",
-      "target": "analyze",
-      "condition": "on_success"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### Running Agents
-
-```bash
-# Validate agent structure
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name validate
-
-# Show agent information
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name info
-
-# Run agent with input
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name run --input '{
-  "ticket_content": "My login is broken",
-  "customer_id": "CUST-123"
-}'
-
-# Run in mock mode (no LLM calls)
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name run --mock --input '{...}'
-```
-
----
-
-## Testing Agents
-
-### Using the Testing Agent Skill
-
-```bash
-# Run tests for an agent
-claude> /testing-agent
-```
-
-This generates and runs:
-- **Constraint tests** - Verify agent respects constraints
-- **Success tests** - Verify agent achieves success criteria
-- **Integration tests** - End-to-end workflows
-
-### Manual Testing
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests for an agent
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name test
-
-# Run specific test type
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name test --type constraint
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name test --type success
-
-# Run with parallel execution
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name test --parallel 4
-
-# Fail fast (stop on first failure)
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name test --fail-fast
-```
-
-### Writing Custom Tests
-
-```python
-# exports/my_agent/tests/test_custom.py
-import pytest
-from framework.runner import AgentRunner
-
-def test_ticket_categorization():
-    """Test that tickets are categorized correctly"""
-    runner = AgentRunner.from_file("exports/my_agent/agent.json")
-
-    result = runner.run({
-        "ticket_content": "I can't log in to my account"
-    })
-
-    assert result["category"] == "authentication"
-    assert result["priority"] in ["high", "medium", "low"]
-```
-
----
-
-## Code Style & Conventions
-
-### Python Code Style
-
-- **PEP 8** - Follow Python style guide
-- **Type hints** - Use for function signatures and class attributes
-- **Docstrings** - Document classes and public functions
-- **Black** - Code formatter (run with `black .`)
-
-```python
-# Good
-from typing import Optional, Dict, Any
-
-def process_ticket(
-    ticket_content: str,
-    customer_id: str,
-    priority: Optional[str] = None
-) -> Dict[str, Any]:
-    """
-    Process a customer support ticket.
-
-    Args:
-        ticket_content: The content of the ticket
-        customer_id: The customer's ID
-        priority: Optional priority override
-
-    Returns:
-        Dictionary with processing results
-    """
-    # Implementation
-    return {"status": "processed", "id": ticket_id}
-
-# Avoid
-def process_ticket(ticket_content, customer_id, priority=None):
-    # No types, no docstring
-    return {"status": "processed", "id": ticket_id}
-```
-

-
-## Common Tasks
-
-### Adding Python Dependencies
-
-```bash
-# Add to core framework
-cd core
-pip install <package>
-# Then add to requirements.txt or pyproject.toml
-
-# Add to tools package
-cd tools
-pip install <package>
-# Then add to requirements.txt or pyproject.toml
-
-# Reinstall in editable mode
-pip install -e .
-```
-
-### Creating a New Agent
-
-```bash
-# Option 1: Use Claude Code skill (recommended)
-claude> /building-agents
-
-# Option 2: Copy from example
-cp -r exports/support_ticket_agent exports/my_new_agent
-cd exports/my_new_agent
-# Edit agent.json, tools.py, README.md
-
-# Option 3: Use the agent builder MCP tools (advanced)
-# See core/MCP_BUILDER_TOOLS_GUIDE.md
-```
-
-### Adding Custom Tools to an Agent
-
-```python
-# exports/my_agent/tools.py
-from typing import Dict, Any
-
-def my_custom_tool(param1: str, param2: int) -> Dict[str, Any]:
-    """
-    Description of what this tool does.
-
-    Args:
-        param1: Description of param1
-        param2: Description of param2
-
-    Returns:
-        Dictionary with tool results
-    """
-    # Implementation
-    return {"result": "success", "data": ...}
-
-# Register tool in agent.json
-{
-  "nodes": [
-    {
-      "node_id": "use_tool",
-      "node_type": "function",
-      "tools": ["my_custom_tool"],
-      ...
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### Adding MCP Server Integration
-
-```bash
-# 1. Create mcp_servers.json in your agent package
-# exports/my_agent/mcp_servers.json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "transport": "stdio",
-    "command": "python",
-    "args": ["-m", "aden_tools.mcp_server"],
-    "cwd": "tools/",
-    "description": "File system and web tools"
-  }
-}
-
-# 2. Reference tools in agent.json
-{
-  "nodes": [
-    {
-      "node_id": "search",
-      "tools": ["web_search", "web_scrape"],
-      ...
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### Setting Environment Variables
-
-```bash
-# Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.)
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
-export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
-export BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY="your-key-here"
-
-# Or create .env file (not committed to git)
-echo 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here' >> .env
-```
-
-### Debugging Agent Execution
-
-```python
-# Add debug logging to your agent
-import logging
-logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
-
-# Run with verbose output
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name run --input '{...}' --verbose
-
-# Use mock mode to test without LLM calls
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name run --mock --input '{...}'
-```
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Port Already in Use
-
-```bash
-# Find process using port
-lsof -i :3000
-lsof -i :4000
-
-# Kill process
-kill -9 <PID>
-
-# Or change ports in config.yaml and regenerate
-```
-
-### Node Modules Issues
-
-```bash
-# Clean everything and reinstall
-npm run clean
-rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
-npm install
-```
-
-### Docker Issues
-
-```bash
-# Reset Docker state
-docker compose down -v
-docker system prune -f
-docker compose build --no-cache
-docker compose up
-```
-
-### TypeScript Errors After Pull
-
-```bash
-# Rebuild TypeScript
-npm run build

-# Agent Development Environment Setup
-
-Complete setup guide for building and running goal-driven agents with the Aden Agent Framework.
-
-## Quick Setup
-
-```bash
-# Run the automated setup script
-./scripts/setup-python.sh
-```
-
-This will:
-
-- Check Python version (requires 3.10+, recommends 3.11+)
-- Install the core framework package (`framework`)
-- Install the tools package (`aden_tools`)
-- Fix package compatibility issues (openai + litellm)
-- Verify all installations
-
-## Manual Setup (Alternative)
-
-If you prefer to set up manually or the script fails:
-
-### 1. Install Core Framework
-
-```bash
-cd core
-pip install -e .
-```
-
-### 2. Install Tools Package
-
-```bash
-cd tools
-pip install -e .
-```
-
-### 3. Upgrade OpenAI Package
-
-```bash
-# litellm requires openai >= 1.0.0
-pip install --upgrade "openai>=1.0.0"
-```
-
-### 4. Verify Installation
-
-```bash
-python -c "import framework; print('✓ framework OK')"
-python -c "import aden_tools; print('✓ aden_tools OK')"
-python -c "import litellm; print('✓ litellm OK')"
-```
-
-## Requirements
-
-### Python Version
-
-- **Minimum:** Python 3.10
-- **Recommended:** Python 3.11 or 3.12
-- **Tested on:** Python 3.11, 3.12, 3.13
-
-### System Requirements
-
-- pip (latest version)
-- 2GB+ RAM
-- Internet connection (for LLM API calls)
-
-### API Keys (Optional)
-
-For running agents with real LLMs:
-
-```bash
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
-```
-
-## Running Agents
-
-All agent commands must be run from the project root with `PYTHONPATH` set:
-
-```bash
-# From /home/timothy/oss/hive/ directory
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m agent_name COMMAND
-```
-
-### Example: Support Ticket Agent
-
-```bash
-# Validate agent structure
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent validate
-
-# Show agent information
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent info
-
-# Run agent with input
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent run --input '{
-  "ticket_content": "My login is broken. Error 401.",
-  "customer_id": "CUST-123",
-  "ticket_id": "TKT-456"
-}'
-
-# Run in mock mode (no LLM calls)
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent run --mock --input '{...}'
-```
-
-### Example: Other Agents
-
-```bash
-# Market Research Agent
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m market_research_agent info
-
-# Outbound Sales Agent
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m outbound_sales_agent validate
-
-# Personal Assistant Agent
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m personal_assistant_agent run --input '{...}'
-```
-
-## Building New Agents
-
-Use Claude Code CLI with the agent building skills:
-
-### 1. Install Skills (One-time)
-
-```bash
-./quickstart.sh
-```
-
-This installs:
-
-- `/building-agents` - Build new agents
-- `/testing-agent` - Test agents
-
-### 2. Build an Agent
-
-```
-claude> /building-agents
-```
-
-Follow the prompts to:
-
-1. Define your agent's goal
-2. Design the workflow nodes
-3. Connect edges
-4. Generate the agent package
-
-### 3. Test Your Agent
-
-```
-claude> /testing-agent
-```
-
-Creates comprehensive test suites for your agent.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'framework'"
-
-**Solution:** Install the core package:
-
-```bash
-cd core && pip install -e .
-```
-
-### "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aden_tools'"
-
-**Solution:** Install the tools package:
-
-```bash
-cd tools && pip install -e .
-```
-
-Or run the setup script:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/setup-python.sh
-```
-
-### "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openai.\_models'"
-
-**Cause:** Outdated `openai` package (0.27.x) incompatible with `litellm`
-
-**Solution:** Upgrade openai:
-
-```bash
-pip install --upgrade "openai>=1.0.0"
-```
-
-### "No module named 'support_ticket_agent'"
-
-**Cause:** Not running from project root or missing PYTHONPATH
-
-**Solution:** Ensure you're in `/home/timothy/oss/hive/` and use:
-
-```bash
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent validate
-```
-
-### Agent imports fail with "broken installation"
-
-**Symptom:** `pip list` shows packages pointing to non-existent directories
-
-**Solution:** Reinstall packages properly:
-
-```bash
-# Remove broken installations
-pip uninstall -y framework tools aden-tools
-
-# Reinstall correctly
-cd /home/timothy/oss/hive
-./scripts/setup-python.sh
-```
-
-## Package Structure
-
-The Hive framework consists of three Python packages:
-
-```
-hive/
-├── core/                    # Core framework (runtime, graph executor, LLM providers)
-│   ├── framework/
-│   ├── pyproject.toml
-│   └── requirements.txt
-│
-├── tools/                   # Tools and MCP servers
-│   ├── src/
-│   │   └── aden_tools/     # Actual package location
-│   ├── pyproject.toml
-│   └── README.md
-│
-└── exports/                 # Agent packages (your agents go here)
-    ├── support_ticket_agent/
-    ├── market_research_agent/
-    ├── outbound_sales_agent/
-    └── personal_assistant_agent/
-```
-
-### Why PYTHONPATH is Required
-
-The packages are installed in **editable mode** (`pip install -e`), which means:
-
-- `framework` and `aden_tools` are globally importable (no PYTHONPATH needed)
-- `exports` is NOT installed as a package (PYTHONPATH required)
-
-This design allows agents in `exports/` to be:
-
-- Developed independently
-- Version controlled separately
-- Deployed as standalone packages
-
-## Development Workflow
-
-### 1. Setup (Once)
-
-```bash
-./scripts/setup-python.sh
-```
-
-### 2. Build Agent (Claude Code)
-
-```
-claude> /building-agents
-Enter goal: "Build an agent that processes customer support tickets"
-```
-
-### 3. Validate Agent
-
-```bash
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent validate
-```
-
-### 4. Test Agent
-
-```
-claude> /testing-agent
-```
-
-### 5. Run Agent
-
-```bash
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m support_ticket_agent run --input '{...}'
-```
-
-## IDE Setup
-
-### VSCode
-
-Add to `.vscode/settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
-    "${workspaceFolder}/core",
-    "${workspaceFolder}/exports"
-  ],
-  "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
-    "${workspaceFolder}/core",
-    "${workspaceFolder}/exports"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### PyCharm
-
-1. Open Project Settings → Project Structure
-2. Mark `core` as Sources Root
-3. Mark `exports` as Sources Root
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-### Required for LLM Operations
-
-```bash
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
-```
-
-### Optional Configuration
-
-```bash
-# Credentials storage location (default: ~/.aden/credentials)
-export ADEN_CREDENTIALS_PATH="/custom/path"
-
-# Agent storage location (default: /tmp)
-export AGENT_STORAGE_PATH="/custom/storage"
-```

-## Descripción General
-
-Construye agentes de IA confiables y auto-mejorables sin codificar flujos de trabajo. Define tu objetivo a través de una conversación con un agente de codificación, y el framework genera un grafo de nodos con código de conexión creado dinámicamente. Cuando algo falla, el framework captura los datos del error, evoluciona el agente a través del agente de codificación y lo vuelve a desplegar. Los nodos de intervención humana integrados, la gestión de credenciales y el monitoreo en tiempo real te dan control sin sacrificar la adaptabilidad.

-
-## Características
-
-- **Desarrollo Orientado a Objetivos** - Define objetivos en lenguaje natural; el agente de codificación genera el grafo de agentes y el código de conexión para lograrlos
-- **Agentes Auto-Adaptables** - El framework captura fallos, actualiza objetivos y actualiza el grafo de agentes
-- **Conexiones de Nodos Dinámicas** - Sin aristas predefinidas; el código de conexión es generado por cualquier LLM capaz basado en tus objetivos
-- **Nodos Envueltos en SDK** - Cada nodo obtiene memoria compartida, memoria RLM local, monitoreo, herramientas y acceso LLM de serie
-- **Humano en el Bucle** - Nodos de intervención que pausan la ejecución para entrada humana con tiempos de espera y escalación configurables
-- **Observabilidad en Tiempo Real** - Streaming WebSocket para monitoreo en vivo de ejecución de agentes, decisiones y comunicación entre nodos
-- **Control de Costos y Presupuesto** - Establece límites de gasto, limitadores y políticas de degradación automática de modelos
-- **Listo para Producción** - Auto-hospedable, construido para escala y confiabilidad
-
-## Por Qué Aden
-
-Los frameworks de agentes tradicionales requieren que diseñes manualmente flujos de trabajo, definas interacciones de agentes y manejes fallos de forma reactiva. Aden invierte este paradigma—**describes resultados, y el sistema se construye solo**.

-### La Ventaja de Aden
-
-| Frameworks Tradicionales | Aden |
-|--------------------------|------|
-| Codificar flujos de trabajo de agentes | Describir objetivos en lenguaje natural |
-| Definición manual de grafos | Grafos de agentes auto-generados |
-| Manejo reactivo de errores | Auto-evolución proactiva |
-| Configuraciones de herramientas estáticas | Nodos dinámicos envueltos en SDK |
-| Configuración de monitoreo separada | Observabilidad en tiempo real integrada |
-| Gestión de presupuesto DIY | Controles de costos y degradación integrados |
-
-### Cómo Funciona
-
-1. **Define Tu Objetivo** → Describe lo que quieres lograr en lenguaje simple
-2. **El Agente de Codificación Genera** → Crea el grafo de agentes, código de conexión y casos de prueba
-3. **Los Trabajadores Ejecutan** → Los nodos envueltos en SDK se ejecutan con observabilidad completa y acceso a herramientas
-4. **El Plano de Control Monitorea** → Métricas en tiempo real, aplicación de presupuesto, gestión de políticas
-5. **Auto-Mejora** → En caso de fallo, el sistema evoluciona el grafo y lo vuelve a desplegar automáticamente
-
-## Cómo se Compara Aden
-
-Aden adopta un enfoque fundamentalmente diferente al desarrollo de agentes. Mientras que la mayoría de los frameworks requieren que codifiques flujos de trabajo o definas manualmente grafos de agentes, Aden usa un **agente de codificación para generar todo tu sistema de agentes** a partir de objetivos en lenguaje natural. Cuando los agentes fallan, el framework no solo registra errores—**evoluciona automáticamente el grafo de agentes** y lo vuelve a desplegar.
-
-> **Nota:** Para la tabla de comparación detallada de frameworks y preguntas frecuentes, consulta el [README.md](README.md) en inglés.

-
-> **Nota:** Para las preguntas frecuentes completas, consulta el [README.md](README.md) en inglés.
-
-**P: ¿Aden depende de LangChain u otros frameworks de agentes?**
-
-No. Aden está construido desde cero sin dependencias de LangChain, CrewAI u otros frameworks de agentes. El framework está diseñado para ser ligero y flexible, generando grafos de agentes dinámicamente en lugar de depender de componentes predefinidos.
-
-**P: ¿Qué proveedores de LLM soporta Aden?**
-
-Aden soporta más de 100 proveedores de LLM a través de la integración de LiteLLM, incluyendo OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-4o), Anthropic (modelos Claude), Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq y muchos más. Simplemente configura la variable de entorno de la clave API apropiada y especifica el nombre del modelo.
-
-**P: ¿Aden es de código abierto?**
-
-Sí, Aden es completamente de código abierto bajo la Licencia Apache 2.0. Fomentamos activamente las contribuciones y colaboración de la comunidad.
-
-**P: ¿Qué hace que Aden sea diferente de otros frameworks de agentes?**
-
-Aden genera todo tu sistema de agentes a partir de objetivos en lenguaje natural usando un agente de codificación—no codificas flujos de trabajo ni defines grafos manualmente. Cuando los agentes fallan, el framework captura automáticamente los datos del fallo, evoluciona el grafo de agentes y lo vuelve a desplegar. Este ciclo de auto-mejora es único de Aden.
-
-**P: ¿Aden soporta flujos de trabajo con humano en el bucle?**
-
-Sí, Aden soporta completamente flujos de trabajo con humano en el bucle a través de nodos de intervención que pausan la ejecución para entrada humana. Estos incluyen tiempos de espera configurables y políticas de escalación, permitiendo colaboración fluida entre expertos humanos y agentes de IA.

-## 概要
-
-ワークフローをハードコーディングせずに、信頼性の高い自己改善型AIエージェントを構築できます。コーディングエージェントとの会話を通じて目標を定義すると、フレームワークが動的に作成された接続コードを持つノードグラフを生成します。問題が発生すると、フレームワークは障害データをキャプチャし、コーディングエージェントを通じてエージェントを進化させ、再デプロイします。組み込みのヒューマンインザループノード、認証情報管理、リアルタイムモニタリングにより、適応性を損なうことなく制御を維持できます。

-## クイックスタート
-
-### 前提条件
-
-- [Python 3.11+](https://www.python.org/downloads/) - エージェント開発用
-- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) (v20.10+) - オプション、コンテナ化されたツール用
-
-### インストール
-
-```bash
-# リポジトリをクローン
-git clone https://github.com/adenhq/hive.git
-cd hive
-
-# Python環境セットアップを実行
-./scripts/setup-python.sh
-```
-
-これにより以下がインストールされます：
-- **framework** - コアエージェントランタイムとグラフエグゼキュータ
-- **aden_tools** - エージェント機能のための19個のMCPツール
-- すべての必要な依存関係
-
-### 最初のエージェントを構築
-
-```bash
-# Claude Codeスキルをインストール（1回のみ）
-./quickstart.sh
-
-# Claude Codeを使用してエージェントを構築
-claude> /building-agents
-
-# エージェントをテスト
-claude> /testing-agent
-
-# エージェントを実行
-PYTHONPATH=core:exports python -m your_agent_name run --input '{...}'
-```
-
-**[📖 完全セットアップガイド](ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md)** - エージェント開発の詳細な手順
-
-## 機能
-
-- **目標駆動開発** - 自然言語で目標を定義；コーディングエージェントがそれを達成するためのエージェントグラフと接続コードを生成
-- **自己適応エージェント** - フレームワークが障害をキャプチャし、目標を更新し、エージェントグラフを更新
-- **動的ノード接続** - 事前定義されたエッジなし；接続コードは目標に基づいて任意の対応LLMによって生成
-- **SDKラップノード** - すべてのノードが共有メモリ、ローカルRLMメモリ、モニタリング、ツール、LLMアクセスを標準装備
-- **ヒューマンインザループ** - 設定可能なタイムアウトとエスカレーションを備えた、人間の入力のために実行を一時停止する介入ノード
-- **リアルタイム可観測性** - エージェント実行、決定、ノード間通信のライブモニタリングのためのWebSocketストリーミング
-- **コストと予算管理** - 支出制限、スロットル、自動モデル劣化ポリシーを設定
-- **本番環境対応** - セルフホスト可能、スケールと信頼性のために構築
-
-## なぜAdenか
-
-従来のエージェントフレームワークでは、ワークフローを手動で設計し、エージェントの相互作用を定義し、障害を事後的に処理する必要があります。Adenはこのパラダイムを逆転させます—**結果を記述すれば、システムが自ら構築します**。

-### Adenの優位性
-
-| 従来のフレームワーク | Aden |
-|----------------------|------|
-| エージェントワークフローをハードコード | 自然言語で目標を記述 |
-| 手動でグラフを定義 | 自動生成されるエージェントグラフ |
-| 事後的なエラー処理 | プロアクティブな自己進化 |
-| 静的なツール設定 | 動的なSDKラップノード |
-| 別途モニタリング設定 | 組み込みのリアルタイム可観測性 |
-| DIY予算管理 | 統合されたコスト制御と劣化 |
-
-### 仕組み
-
-1. **目標を定義** → 達成したいことを平易な言葉で記述
-2. **コーディングエージェントが生成** → エージェントグラフ、接続コード、テストケースを作成
-3. **ワーカーが実行** → SDKラップノードが完全な可観測性とツールアクセスで実行
-4. **コントロールプレーンが監視** → リアルタイムメトリクス、予算執行、ポリシー管理
-5. **自己改善** → 障害時、システムがグラフを進化させ自動的に再デプロイ
-
-## Adenの比較
-
-Adenはエージェント開発に根本的に異なるアプローチを採用しています。ほとんどのフレームワークがワークフローをハードコードするか、エージェントグラフを手動で定義することを要求するのに対し、Adenは**コーディングエージェントを使用して自然言語の目標からエージェントシステム全体を生成**します。エージェントが失敗した場合、フレームワークは単にエラーをログに記録するだけでなく—**自動的にエージェントグラフを進化させ**、再デプロイします。
-
-> **注意：** 詳細なフレームワーク比較表とよくある質問については、英語の[README.md](README.md)を参照してください。
-

 ## Overview
 
-Build reliable, self-improving AI agents without hardcoding workflows. Define your goal through conversation with a coding agent, and the framework generates a node graph with dynamically created connection code. When things break, the framework captures failure data, evolves the agent through the coding agent, and redeploys. Built-in human-in-the-loop nodes, credential management, and real-time monitoring give you control without sacrificing adaptability.
+OpenHive is a zero-setup, model-agnostic execution harness that dynamically generates multi-agent topologies to tackle complex, long-running business workflows without requiring any orchestration boilerplate. By simply defining your objective, the runtime compiles a strict, graph-based execution DAG that safely coordinates specialized agents to execute concurrent tasks in parallel. Backed by persistent, role-based memory that intelligently evolves with your project's context, OpenHive ensures deterministic fault tolerance, deep state observability, and seamless asynchronous execution across whichever underlying LLMs you choose to plug in.
+
+## Features

-Aden is a platform for building, deploying, operating, and adapting AI agents:
 
-- **Build** - A Coding Agent generates specialized Worker Agents (Sales, Marketing, Ops) from natural language goals
-- **Deploy** - Headless deployment with CI/CD integration and full API lifecycle management
-- **Operate** - Real-time monitoring, observability, and runtime guardrails keep agents reliable
-- **Adapt** - Continuous evaluation, supervision, and adaptation ensure agents improve over time
-- **Infra** - Shared memory, LLM integrations, tools, and skills power every agent
+## Who Is Hive For?
+
+Hive is the multi-agent harness layer for teams moving AI agents from prototype to production. Single agents like Openclaw and Cowork can finish personal jobs pretty well but lack the rigor to fulfil business processes. 
+
+Hive is a good fit if you:
+
+- Want AI agents that **execute real business processes**, not demos
+- Need a **runtime that handles state, recovery, and parallel execution** at scale
+- Need **self-healing and adaptive agents** that improve over time
+- Require **human-in-the-loop control**, observability, and cost limits
+- Plan to run agents in **production** where uptime, cost, and auditability matter
+
+Hive may not be the best fit if you’re only experimenting with simple agent chains or one-off scripts.
+
+## When Should You Use Hive?
+
+Use Hive when the bottleneck is no longer the model but the harness around it:
+
+- Long-running agents that need **state persistence and crash recovery**
+- Production workloads requiring **cost enforcement, observability, and audit trails**
+- Agents that **self-heal** through failure capture and graph evolution
+- Multi-agent coordination with **session isolation and shared buffers**
+- A framework that **scales with model improvements** rather than fighting them

 ## Quick Start
 
 ### Prerequisites
 
-- [Python 3.11+](https://www.python.org/downloads/) for agent development
-- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) (v20.10+) - Optional, for containerized tools
+- Python 3.11+ for agent development
+- An LLM provider that powers the agents
+- **ripgrep (optional, recommended on Windows):** The `search_files` tool uses ripgrep for faster file search. If not installed, a Python fallback is used. On Windows: `winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep` or `scoop install ripgrep`
+
+> **Windows Users:** Native Windows is supported via `quickstart.ps1` and `hive.ps1`. Run these in PowerShell 5.1+. WSL is also an option but not required.
 
 ### Installation
 
+> **Note**
+> Hive uses a `uv` workspace layout and is not installed with `pip install`.
+> Running `pip install -e .` from the repository root will create a placeholder package and Hive will not function correctly.
+> Please use the quickstart script below to set up the environment.
+
 ```bash
 # Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/adenhq/hive.git
+git clone https://github.com/aden-hive/hive.git
 cd hive
 
-# Run Python environment setup
-./scripts/setup-python.sh
+# Run quickstart setup (macOS/Linux)
+./quickstart.sh
+
+# Windows (PowerShell)
+.\quickstart.ps1
 ```
 
-This installs:
-- **framework** - Core agent runtime and graph executor
-- **aden_tools** - 19 MCP tools for agent capabilities
-- All required dependencies
+This sets up:
+
+- **framework** - Core agent runtime and graph executor (in `core/.venv`)
+- **aden_tools** - MCP tools for agent capabilities (in `tools/.venv`)
+- **credential store** - Encrypted API key storage (`~/.hive/credentials`)
+- **LLM provider** - Interactive default model configuration, including Hive LLM and OpenRouter
+- All required Python dependencies with `uv`
+
+- Finally, it will open the Hive interface in your browser
+
+> **Tip:** To reopen the dashboard later, run `hive open` from the project directory.
 
 ### Build Your First Agent
 
-```bash
-# Install Claude Code skills (one-time)
-./quickstart.sh
+Type the agent you want to build in the home input box. The queen is going to ask you questions and work out a solution with you.
 
-# Build an agent using Claude Code

-## Why Aden
+## Integration
 
-Traditional agent frameworks require you to manually design workflows, define agent interactions, and handle failures reactively. Aden flips this paradigm—**you describe outcomes, and the system builds itself**.
+<a href="https://github.com/aden-hive/hive/tree/main/tools/src/aden_tools/tools"><img width="100%" alt="Integration" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a1573f93-cf02-4bb8-b3d5-b305b05b1e51" /></a>
+Hive is built to be model-agnostic and system-agnostic.
+
+- **LLM flexibility** - Hive Framework supports Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Hive LLM, and other hosted or local models through LiteLLM-compatible providers.
+- **Business system connectivity** - Hive Framework is designed to connect to all kinds of business systems as tools, such as CRM, support, messaging, data, file, and internal APIs via MCP.
+
+## Why Hive
+
+As models improve, the upper bound of what agents can do rises — but their reliability and production value are determined by the harness. Hive focuses on generating agents that run real business processes rather than generic agents. Instead of requiring you to manually design workflows, define agent interactions, and handle failures reactively, Hive flips the paradigm: **you describe outcomes, and the system builds itself**—delivering an outcome-driven, adaptive experience with an easy-to-use set of tools and integrations.

-### The Aden Advantage
-
-| Traditional Frameworks     | Aden                                   |
-| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
-| Hardcode agent workflows   | Describe goals in natural language     |
-| Manual graph definition    | Auto-generated agent graphs            |
-| Reactive error handling    | Proactive self-evolution               |
-| Static tool configurations | Dynamic SDK-wrapped nodes              |
-| Separate monitoring setup  | Built-in real-time observability       |
-| DIY budget management      | Integrated cost controls & degradation |
-
 ### How It Works
 
-1. **Define Your Goal** → Describe what you want to achieve in plain English
-2. **Coding Agent Generates** → Creates the agent graph, connection code, and test cases
-3. **Workers Execute** → SDK-wrapped nodes run with full observability and tool access
+1. **[Define Your Goal](docs/key_concepts/goals_outcome.md)** → Describe what you want to achieve in plain English
+2. **Coding Agent Generates** → Creates the [agent graph](docs/key_concepts/graph.md), connection code, and test cases
+3. **[Workers Execute](docs/key_concepts/worker_agent.md)** → SDK-wrapped nodes run with full observability and tool access
 4. **Control Plane Monitors** → Real-time metrics, budget enforcement, policy management
-5. **Self-Improve** → On failure, the system evolves the graph and redeploys automatically
-
-## How Aden Compares
-
-Aden takes a fundamentally different approach to agent development. While most frameworks require you to hardcode workflows or manually define agent graphs, Aden uses a **coding agent to generate your entire agent system** from natural language goals. When agents fail, the framework doesn't just log errors—it **automatically evolves the agent graph** and redeploys.

 ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
 
-**Q: Does Aden depend on LangChain or other agent frameworks?**
+**Q: What LLM providers does Hive support?**
 
-No. Aden is built from the ground up with no dependencies on LangChain, CrewAI, or other agent frameworks. The framework is designed to be lean and flexible, generating agent graphs dynamically rather than relying on predefined components.
+Hive supports 100+ LLM providers through LiteLLM integration, including OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude models), Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, OpenRouter, and Hive LLM. Simply set the appropriate API key environment variable and specify the model name. See [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md) for provider-specific configuration examples.
 
-**Q: What LLM providers does Aden support?**

+Yes! Hive supports local models through LiteLLM. Simply use the model name format `ollama/model-name` (e.g., `ollama/llama3`, `ollama/mistral`) and ensure Ollama is running locally.
 
-**Q: Can I use Aden with local AI models like Ollama?**
+**Q: What makes Hive different from other agent frameworks?**
 
-Yes! Aden supports local models through LiteLLM. Simply use the model name format `ollama/model-name` (e.g., `ollama/llama3`, `ollama/mistral`) and ensure Ollama is running locally.
+Hive is an agent harness, not just an orchestration framework. It provides the production runtime layer — session isolation, checkpoint-based crash recovery, cost enforcement, real-time observability, and human-in-the-loop controls — that makes agents reliable enough to run real workloads. On top of that, Hive generates your entire agent system from natural language goals and automatically [evolves the graph](docs/key_concepts/evolution.md) when agents fail. The combination of a robust harness with self-improving generation is what sets Hive apart.
 
-**Q: What makes Aden different from other agent frameworks?**
+**Q: Is Hive open-source?**
 
-Aden generates your entire agent system from natural language goals using a coding agent—you don't hardcode workflows or manually define graphs. When agents fail, the framework automatically captures failure data, evolves the agent graph, and redeploys. This self-improving loop is unique to Aden.
+Yes, Hive is fully open-source under the Apache License 2.0. We actively encourage community contributions and collaboration.

-## Visão Geral
-
-Construa agentes de IA confiáveis e auto-aperfeiçoáveis sem codificar fluxos de trabalho. Defina seu objetivo através de uma conversa com um agente de codificação, e o framework gera um grafo de nós com código de conexão criado dinamicamente. Quando algo quebra, o framework captura dados de falha, evolui o agente através do agente de codificação e reimplanta. Nós de intervenção humana integrados, gerenciamento de credenciais e monitoramento em tempo real dão a você controle sem sacrificar a adaptabilidade.

-
-## Por que Aden
-
-Frameworks de agentes tradicionais exigem que você projete manualmente fluxos de trabalho, defina interações de agentes e lide com falhas reativamente. Aden inverte esse paradigma—**você descreve resultados, e o sistema se constrói sozinho**.

-### A Vantagem Aden
-
-| Frameworks Tradicionais | Aden |
-|-------------------------|------|
-| Codificar fluxos de trabalho de agentes | Descrever objetivos em linguagem natural |
-| Definição manual de grafos | Grafos de agentes auto-gerados |
-| Tratamento reativo de erros | Auto-evolução proativa |
-| Configurações de ferramentas estáticas | Nós dinâmicos envolvidos em SDK |
-| Configuração de monitoramento separada | Observabilidade em tempo real integrada |
-| Gerenciamento de orçamento DIY | Controles de custo e degradação integrados |
-
-### Como Funciona
-
-1. **Defina Seu Objetivo** → Descreva o que você quer alcançar em linguagem simples
-2. **Agente de Codificação Gera** → Cria o grafo de agentes, código de conexão e casos de teste
-3. **Workers Executam** → Nós envolvidos em SDK executam com observabilidade completa e acesso a ferramentas
-4. **Plano de Controle Monitora** → Métricas em tempo real, aplicação de orçamento, gerenciamento de políticas
-5. **Auto-Aperfeiçoamento** → Em caso de falha, o sistema evolui o grafo e reimplanta automaticamente
-
-## Como Aden se Compara
-
-Aden adota uma abordagem fundamentalmente diferente para o desenvolvimento de agentes. Enquanto a maioria dos frameworks exige que você codifique fluxos de trabalho ou defina manualmente grafos de agentes, Aden usa um **agente de codificação para gerar todo o seu sistema de agentes** a partir de objetivos em linguagem natural. Quando os agentes falham, o framework não apenas registra erros—**ele evolui automaticamente o grafo de agentes** e reimplanta.
-
-> **Nota:** Para a tabela de comparação detalhada de frameworks e perguntas frequentes, consulte o [README.md](README.md) em inglês.
-
-### Quando Escolher Aden
-
-Escolha Aden quando você precisar de:
-
-- Agentes que **se auto-aperfeiçoam a partir de falhas** sem intervenção manual
-- **Desenvolvimento orientado a objetivos** onde você descreve resultados, não fluxos de trabalho
-- **Confiabilidade em produção** com recuperação e reimplantação automáticas
-- **Iteração rápida** em arquiteturas de agentes sem reescrever código
-- **Observabilidade completa** com monitoramento em tempo real e supervisão humana
-
-Escolha outros frameworks quando você precisar de:
-
-- **Fluxos de trabalho previsíveis e type-safe** (PydanticAI, Mastra)
-- **RAG e processamento de documentos** (LlamaIndex, Haystack)
-- **Pesquisa sobre emergência de agentes** (CAMEL)
-- **Voz/multimodal em tempo real** (TEN Framework)
-- **Encadeamento simples de componentes** (LangChain, Swarm)

-
-**P: O Aden depende do LangChain ou outros frameworks de agentes?**
-
-Não. O Aden é construído do zero sem dependências do LangChain, CrewAI ou outros frameworks de agentes. O framework é projetado para ser leve e flexível, gerando grafos de agentes dinamicamente em vez de depender de componentes predefinidos.
-
-**P: Quais provedores de LLM o Aden suporta?**
-
-O Aden suporta mais de 100 provedores de LLM através da integração LiteLLM, incluindo OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-4o), Anthropic (modelos Claude), Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq e muitos mais. Simplesmente configure a variável de ambiente da chave API apropriada e especifique o nome do modelo.
-
-**P: O Aden é open-source?**
-
-Sim, o Aden é totalmente open-source sob a Licença Apache 2.0. Incentivamos ativamente contribuições e colaboração da comunidade.
-
-**P: O que torna o Aden diferente de outros frameworks de agentes?**
-
-O Aden gera todo o seu sistema de agentes a partir de objetivos em linguagem natural usando um agente de codificação—você não codifica fluxos de trabalho nem define grafos manualmente. Quando os agentes falham, o framework captura automaticamente os dados de falha, evolui o grafo de agentes e reimplanta. Este loop de auto-aperfeiçoamento é único do Aden.
-
-**P: O Aden suporta fluxos de trabalho com humano no loop?**
-
-Sim, o Aden suporta totalmente fluxos de trabalho com humano no loop através de nós de intervenção que pausam a execução para entrada humana. Estes incluem timeouts configuráveis e políticas de escalonamento, permitindo colaboração perfeita entre especialistas humanos e agentes de IA.

-## Обзор
-
-Создавайте надёжных, самосовершенствующихся ИИ-агентов без жёсткого кодирования рабочих процессов. Определите свою цель через разговор с кодирующим агентом, и фреймворк сгенерирует граф узлов с динамически созданным кодом соединений. Когда что-то ломается, фреймворк захватывает данные об ошибке, эволюционирует агента через кодирующего агента и переразвёртывает. Встроенные узлы человеческого вмешательства, управление учётными данными и мониторинг в реальном времени дают вам контроль без ущерба для адаптивности.

-
-## Почему Aden
-
-Традиционные фреймворки агентов требуют ручного проектирования рабочих процессов, определения взаимодействий агентов и реактивной обработки сбоев. Aden переворачивает эту парадигму — **вы описываете результаты, и система строит себя сама**.

-### Преимущество Aden
-
-| Традиционные фреймворки | Aden |
-|-------------------------|------|
-| Жёсткое кодирование рабочих процессов | Описание целей на естественном языке |
-| Ручное определение графов | Автоматически генерируемые графы агентов |
-| Реактивная обработка ошибок | Проактивная самоэволюция |
-| Статические конфигурации инструментов | Динамические узлы, обёрнутые SDK |
-| Отдельная настройка мониторинга | Встроенная наблюдаемость в реальном времени |
-| DIY управление бюджетом | Интегрированный контроль затрат и деградация |
-
-### Как это работает
-
-1. **Определите цель** → Опишите, чего хотите достичь, простым языком
-2. **Кодирующий агент генерирует** → Создаёт граф агентов, код соединений и тестовые случаи
-3. **Рабочие выполняют** → Узлы, обёрнутые SDK, работают с полной наблюдаемостью и доступом к инструментам
-4. **Плоскость управления мониторит** → Метрики в реальном времени, применение бюджета, управление политиками
-5. **Самосовершенствование** → При сбое система эволюционирует граф и автоматически переразвёртывает
-
-## Сравнение Aden
-
-Aden использует принципиально иной подход к разработке агентов. В то время как большинство фреймворков требуют жёсткого кодирования рабочих процессов или ручного определения графов агентов, Aden использует **кодирующего агента для генерации всей системы агентов** из целей на естественном языке. Когда агенты терпят неудачу, фреймворк не просто регистрирует ошибки — он **автоматически эволюционирует граф агентов** и переразвёртывает.
-
-> **Примечание:** Для подробной таблицы сравнения фреймворков и часто задаваемых вопросов обратитесь к английской версии [README.md](README.md).

-This guide covers the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for building goal-driven agents.
+> **Note:** The standalone `agent-builder` MCP server (`framework.mcp.agent_builder_server`) has been replaced. Agent building is now done via the `coder-tools` server's `initialize_and_build_agent` tool, with underlying logic in `tools/coder_tools_server.py`.
+
+This guide covers the MCP tools available for building goal-driven agents.
 
 ## Setup

+uv pip install -e .
 ```
 
-## MCP Server Setup
+## Agent Building
 
-The framework includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for building agents. To set up the MCP server:
+Agent scaffolding is handled by the `coder-tools` MCP server (in `tools/coder_tools_server.py`), which provides the `initialize_and_build_agent` tool and related utilities. The package generation logic lives directly in `tools/coder_tools_server.py`.
 
-### Automated Setup
-
-**Using bash (Linux/macOS):**
-```bash
-./setup_mcp.sh
-```
-
-**Using Python (cross-platform):**
-```bash
-python setup_mcp.py
-```
-
-The setup script will:
-1. Install the framework package
-2. Install MCP dependencies (mcp, fastmcp)
-3. Create/verify `.mcp.json` configuration
-4. Test the MCP server module
-
-### Manual Setup
-
-If you prefer manual setup:
-
-```bash
-# Install framework
-pip install -e .
-
-# Install MCP dependencies
-pip install mcp fastmcp
-
-# Test the server
-python -m framework.mcp.agent_builder_server
-```
-
-### Using with MCP Clients
-
-To use the agent builder with Claude Desktop or other MCP clients, add this to your MCP client configuration:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "agent-builder": {
-      "command": "python",
-      "args": ["-m", "framework.mcp.agent_builder_server"],
-      "cwd": "/path/to/goal-agent"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The MCP server provides tools for:
-- Creating agent building sessions
-- Defining goals with success criteria
-- Adding nodes (llm_generate, llm_tool_use, router, function)
-- Connecting nodes with edges
-- Validating and exporting agent graphs
-- Testing nodes and full agent graphs

-The runtime is designed around DECISIONS, not just actions. Every significant

-- What it was trying to do (intent)
-- What options it considered
-- What it chose and why
-- What happened as a result
-- Whether that was good or bad (evaluated post-hoc)
-
-This gives the Builder LLM the information it needs to improve agent behavior.

-- Mandatory user approval before tests are stored
-- Parallel test execution with error categorization
-- Debug tools with fix suggestions

+"""Credential Tester agent — verify credentials via live API calls.
+
+Supports both Aden OAuth2-synced accounts AND locally-stored API key accounts.
+Aden accounts use account="alias" routing; local accounts inject the key into
+the session environment so tools read it without an account= parameter.
+
+When loaded via AgentRunner.load() (TUI picker, ``hive run``), the module-level
+``nodes`` / ``edges`` variables provide a static graph.  The TUI detects
+``requires_account_selection`` and shows an account picker *before* starting
+the agent.  ``configure_for_account()`` then scopes the node's tools to the
+selected provider.
+
+When used directly (``CredentialTesterAgent``), the graph is built dynamically
+after the user picks an account programmatically.

+You are a credential tester. Your job is to help the user verify that their \

+# Startup
+
+1. Call ``get_account_info`` to list the user's connected accounts.
+2. Present the list and ask the user which account to test.
+3. Once they pick one, note the account's **alias** (e.g. "Timothy", "work-slack").
+4. Suggest a simple read-only API call to verify the credential works \
+(e.g. list messages, list channels, list contacts).
+5. Execute the call when the user agrees.
+6. Report the result: success (with sample data) or failure (with error).
+7. Let the user request additional API calls to further test the credential.
+
+# Account routing (Aden accounts only)
+
+IMPORTANT: For Aden-synced accounts, always pass the account's **alias** as the \
+``account`` parameter when calling any tool. For local API key accounts, do NOT \
+pass an account parameter — they are pre-injected into the session.
+
+# Rules
+
+- Start with read-only operations (list, get) before write operations.
+- Always confirm with the user before performing write operations.
+- If a call fails, report the exact error — this helps diagnose credential issues.
+- Be concise. No emojis.
