- Refactored and condensed numerous system prompts, agent instructions, and tool documentation files across packages.
- Streamlined workflow rules, formatting constraints, and execution guidelines for improved clarity and brevity.
- Updated discovery rules, recommendation criteria, and syntax standards in prompt templates.
- Renamed task wire fields, replacing `assignment` and `description` with `task` and `name` while removing `role` references.
- Implemented automated task UI label generation using a tiny model to replace manual role descriptions.
- Updated task execution and rendering logic to support per-item agent resolution and dynamic badge display.
- Migrated schemas, prompts, and test suites to enforce the new flat task structure and agent-centric policy.
- Renamed the `find` and `search` tools to `glob` and `grep` respectively across the codebase to improve command clarity.
- Implemented full-stack support for the renamed tools, including CLI arguments, system prompts, SDK exports, and tool registration.
- Added automated migration logic in `settings` to transform legacy `find` and `search` configuration keys to their new equivalents.
- Updated the `collab-web` renderer registry to ensure backwards compatibility with legacy tool outputs.
- Added a token-first four-phase design-system workflow (analyze, build-if-missing, compose-with-tokens, verify) to the designer agent so visual work references design tokens instead of hardcoded magic numbers.
- Added an evidence standard to the reviewer agent: a finding is not real until you can name the exact input that triggers it, and passing tests are not proof of correctness.
- Added an evidence-bound completion requirement to the task agent: name the exact check run and its observable result before returning.
Document the `role` parameter in the task-tool description (both the
batch and single-spawn shapes) and make tailored specialists the default
rule, not the exception. Direct a recursing worker to pass a `role` for
each sub-specialist. Activates the role field from #2467 for the model.

- Rewrote prescriptive prose to MUST/NEVER/SHOULD/MAY phrasing.
- Pruned internal mechanism the agent can't act on from tool prompts.
- Fixed garbled grammar and a stale plan-title placeholder.
- Made ssh tool description synchronous via cached host info.
- Converted compaction, branch, and handoff prompts to fragment voice.
- Replaced "You MUST" phrasing with bare "MUST" directives.
- Applied same rewrite to autoresearch and turn-aborted prompts.
- Standardized prompt templates across agents, tools, system, memory, and compaction to NEVER/AVOID wording.

- Enhanced gh_pr_view tool to fetch and display inline review comments alongside pull request reviews.
- Improved gh_run_watch tool output with structured job state tracking and failed log formatting.
- Fixed gh_run_watch to resolve explicit branch watches against GitHub API branch head instead of local HEAD.

- Replaced imperative language with RFC 2119 keywords (MUST/SHOULD/MAY/MUST NOT) throughout system and tool prompts for clarity.
- Removed artifactsDir parameter from Python executor and simplified environment variable handling to use PI_SESSION_FILE only.
- Renamed read_path.md to read-path.md and updated memory guidance with hierarchy rules and conflict resolution workflow.
- Added noEscape option to bash URL expansion and extracted cwd parameter from leading cd commands for improved path handling.
- Exported NO_PAGER_ENV constant from bash-interactive module for centralized environment variable management.
- Plan mode provides structured workflow where agents propose plans for user approval before execution.
