Bug Report: Multi-Agent Support

Methodology

Reviewed claim/release/next-available/available commands, .state.lock files, Agent Configuration in .agent.md, and single-agent zero-overhead guarantee.

Acceptance Criteria

# Criterion Result
1 Single-agent mode has zero behavioral change ✅
2 --claim creates .state.lock atomically ✅
3 --claim refuses if already claimed (non-expired) ✅
4 --claim overclaims if expired ✅
5 --release removes .state.lock ✅
6 --release refuses if wrong agent ✅
7 --next-available finds highest-priority unclaimed task ✅
8 --available lists all unclaimed tasks for agent role ✅
9 Agent Configuration in .agent.md activates multi-agent ✅
10 .state.lock excluded from --validate-folder ✅
11 Completed tasks auto-release locks ✅

Findings

  1. Minor: Lock timeout defaults to 30 minutes. The configurable timeout parsing (5m, 10m, etc.) from .agent.md works but is case-sensitive — 30M would not be parsed correctly. Minor UX issue.

  2. Minor: The --as-coordinator flag and --force flag for coordinator override are parsed but the coordinator role validation is limited — any agent can potentially pass --agent orchestrator without verification. This is acceptable since agent identity is self-reported in the current design.

Verdict: PASS
