# Task Pool Workflow — Investor Flow

## How Tasks Flow

```
new → research → implement → code_review → complete
```

## Canonical design docs

- `docs/FUNCTIONAL_DESIGN.md` — product status
- `docs/TECH_DESIGN.md` — technical status
- `CONTEXT.md` — glossary only

## Priority gap tasks (2026-07-18 audit)

Pick in this order when available:

1. **P0** `fix-macro-commentary-tests` — restore green suite
2. **P0** `wire-sizing-risk-trpc-m20` — size + risk on tRPC + M20 UI
3. **P1** `frontend-api-client-coverage` — unblock UI tasks
4. **P1** `persist-trade-plan-execution-loop` — multi-tenant process loop
5. **P1** `wire-emotion-logger-backend`
6. **P2** strategy lab, screener UI, thesis/derisk UI, options convexity UI
7. **P3** reports UI, schema strategies dedupe

## For Agents

```bash
cd /Users/laptran/Documents/investor-flow
python3 ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --available --agent <your-name> --project .
python3 ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --claim --task <task-name> --agent <your-name> --project .
# implement from SPEC.md
python3 ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --transition code_review --task <task-name> --project .
```

### Rules

- ADR-0007: no unframed imperative trade verbs
- Reviewer ≠ implementer
- Backend tests: `cd app/server && npm test`
- Primary-rule lint: `cd app && node --test --experimental-strip-types src/__tests__/primary-rule-lint.test.ts`

## Historical note

Many modules under `.automaton/tasks/complete/` are finished vertical slices. The old "21 task pool" table is obsolete; use the priority list above.
