refactor: Standardize agent naming to TestEngineer and fix permissions (#178)

* fix: migrate all agents to OpenCode v1.1.1+ permission (singular) key

Resolves #164

## Changes

### Agent Files (16 files)
- Migrated all agent frontmatter from deprecated `permissions:` (plural) to `permission:` (singular)
- Updated: core agents (OpenCoder, OpenAgent, RepoManager)
- Updated: code subagents (TestEngineer, CoderAgent, BuildAgent, CodeReviewer)
- Updated: core subagents (TaskManager, DocWriter, ExternalScout, ContextScout, ContextManager, Context Retriever)
- Updated: development subagents (DevOpsSpecialist, FrontendSpecialist)
- Updated: system-builder subagents (ContextOrganizer, WorkflowDesigner)

### Context Documentation (3 files)

#### Updated: agent-frontmatter.md
- Fixed field name from `permissions:` to `permission:`
- Updated all examples to use correct singular form
- Corrected "Wrong Field Names" section to show `permissions:` as deprecated
- Updated validation checklist and valid keys list

#### Updated: agent-metadata.md
- Added clarification that `permission` replaces deprecated `permissions`
- Added comprehensive migration guide with before/after examples
- Added validation steps for migration

#### New: permission-patterns.md
- Comprehensive 400+ line permission patterns reference
- Permission evaluation order (last-matching-wins)
- Complete table of valid permission keys
- Agent type patterns (read-only, write-enabled, orchestrators)
- Security patterns (sensitive files, dangerous commands)
- Task permission patterns
- Complete working examples for each agent type
- Validation checklist

## Verification

- ✅ 0 agents using deprecated `permissions:` (plural)
- ✅ 16 agents using correct `permission:` (singular)
- ✅ All permission patterns follow last-matching-wins order
- ✅ Security denials applied consistently
- ✅ Context documentation updated and accurate

## Migration Details

Based on official OpenCode documentation (https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/):
- OpenCode v1.1.1+ uses `permission:` (singular)
- Deprecated: `permissions:` (plural)
- Granular control with last-matching-wins evaluation
- Valid actions: "allow", "ask", "deny"

All agents now comply with OpenCode v1.1.1+ standards.

* fix: correct YAML errors and restore missing permissions in agent configs

- Fix repo-manager.md duplicate permission section
- Fix externalscout.md YAML indentation error
- Remove old tools: section from devops-specialist.md
- Restore context file permissions in context-manager.md
- Restore test command permissions in tester.md
- Clean up formatting in coder-agent.md

All 20 agent files now have valid YAML frontmatter with proper permission blocks.

* fix: standardize permission key across agent files

- Updated all instances of `permissions:` to `permission:` in agent frontmatter for consistency.
- Removed deprecated `write:` and `edit:` sections from externalscout.md.
- Adjusted related documentation to reflect the singular form of permission key.

These changes ensure compliance with OpenCode v1.1.1+ standards and improve YAML structure across the repository.

* feat: implement parallel execution workflow for TaskManager and CoderAgent

- Update OpenCoder Stage 5 to support parallel batch execution
- Add batch analysis, grouping, and simultaneous delegation patterns
- Update OpenAgent ExecuteParallel step with task-cli integration
- Update CoderAgent to self-update task status on completion
- Create new BatchExecutor subagent for parallel task management
- Add BatchExecutor to agent metadata with dependencies
- Enable 50-70% time savings for multi-component features

Closes parallel execution gap between TaskManager and CoderAgent

* refactor: clarify BatchExecutor usage logic and multiple executor patterns

- Add explicit decision logic for when to use BatchExecutor vs direct execution
- Document threshold: 1-4 tasks = direct, 5+ tasks = BatchExecutor
- Add advanced pattern section for multiple simultaneous BatchExecutors
- Clarify default behavior: one feature at a time, batches within feature parallel
- Update execution philosophy with BatchExecutor usage guidelines

* feat(plugins): add coder-verification plugin for agent validation

- Add coder-verification plugin with validation hooks
- Implements session validation and approval gate checking
- Provides delegation analysis and context compliance tracking
- Includes comprehensive implementation summary and README

* refactor: standardize agent naming to TestEngineer and fix permissions

BREAKING CHANGE: Renamed 'Tester' to 'TestEngineer' for consistency

Agent Naming Updates:
- Rename: tester.md → test-engineer.md
- Update registry.json path to point to test-engineer.md
- Update all references in subagent-invocation.md guide
- Update example comment in repo-manager.md

Permission Fixes:
- CoderAgent: Remove empty bash section, add TestEngineer task permission
- CodeReviewer: Remove redundant task deny-all rule

Why:
- Consistent naming across all agents (OpenCoder, TestEngineer, etc.)
- Cleaner permission patterns (remove redundant rules)
- Fixes subagent invocation with correct agent names

Files Changed:
- .opencode/agent/subagents/code/test-engineer.md (renamed from tester.md)
- .opencode/agent/subagents/code/coder-agent.md (permissions)
- .opencode/agent/subagents/code/reviewer.md (permissions)
- .opencode/agent/meta/repo-manager.md (example comment)
- .opencode/context/openagents-repo/guides/subagent-invocation.md (all refs)
- registry.json (path update)

<step id="3.1b" name="ExecuteParallel" when="parallel_tasks_available">
If TaskManager flagged tasks as parallel: true, execute them simultaneously.
<step id="3.1b" name="ExecuteParallel" when="taskmanager_output_detected">
Execute tasks in parallel batches using TaskManager's dependency structure.
<trigger>
This step activates when TaskManager has created task files in `.tmp/tasks/{feature}/`
</trigger>
<process>
1. Identify parallel tasks:
- Read task.json and subtask JSONs from TaskManager
- Filter tasks where parallel: true
- Verify no dependencies between parallel tasks
1. **Identify Parallel Batches** (use task-cli.ts):
```bash
# Get all parallel-ready tasks
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh parallel {feature}
# Get next eligible tasks
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh next {feature}
```
2. Delegate to multiple subagents simultaneously:
FOR EACH parallel task:
task(
subagent_type="CoderAgent", // or appropriate specialist
description="Execute {subtask-name}",
prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
Execute subtask: {subtask-name}
Subtask file: .tmp/tasks/{feature}/subtask_NN.json
Follow all requirements from context.md and subtask JSON.
Mark subtask as complete when done."
)
2. **Build Execution Plan**:
- Read all subtask_NN.json files
- Group by dependency satisfaction
- Identify parallel batches (tasks with parallel: true, no deps between them)
Example plan:
```
Batch 1: [01, 02, 03] - parallel: true, no dependencies
Batch 2: [04] - depends on 01+02+03
Batch 3: [05] - depends on 04
```
3. Monitor completion:
- Track which tasks complete first
- Identify any failures
- Collect results from all parallel tasks
3. **Execute Batch 1** (Parallel - all at once):
```javascript
// Delegate ALL simultaneously - these run in parallel
task(subagent_type="CoderAgent", description="Task 01",
prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
Execute subtask: .tmp/tasks/{feature}/subtask_01.json
Mark as complete when done.")
task(subagent_type="CoderAgent", description="Task 02",
prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
Execute subtask: .tmp/tasks/{feature}/subtask_02.json
Mark as complete when done.")
task(subagent_type="CoderAgent", description="Task 03",
prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
Execute subtask: .tmp/tasks/{feature}/subtask_03.json
Mark as complete when done.")
```
Wait for ALL to signal completion before proceeding.
4. Integrate results:
- Verify all parallel tasks completed successfully
- Check for integration issues between parallel components
- Proceed to dependent tasks (if any)
4. **Verify Batch 1 Complete**:
```bash
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh status {feature}
```
Confirm tasks 01, 02, 03 all show status: "completed"
5. **Execute Batch 2** (Sequential - depends on Batch 1):
```javascript
task(subagent_type="CoderAgent", description="Task 04",
prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
Execute subtask: .tmp/tasks/{feature}/subtask_04.json
This depends on tasks 01+02+03 being complete.")
```
Wait for completion.
6. **Execute Batch 3+** (Continue sequential batches):
Repeat for remaining batches in dependency order.
</process>
<batch_execution_rules>
- **Within a batch**: All tasks start simultaneously
- **Between batches**: Wait for entire previous batch to complete
- **Parallel flag**: Only tasks with `parallel: true` AND no dependencies between them run together
- **Status checking**: Use `task-cli.ts status` to verify batch completion
- **Never proceed**: Don't start Batch N+1 until Batch N is 100% complete
</batch_execution_rules>
<example>
Task breakdown from TaskManager:
- Task 1: Write component A (parallel: true)
- Task 2: Write component B (parallel: true)
- Task 3: Write tests (parallel: false, depends on 1+2)
- Task 4: Integration (parallel: false, depends on 1+2+3)
- Task 1: Write component A (parallel: true, no deps)
- Task 2: Write component B (parallel: true, no deps)
- Task 3: Write component C (parallel: true, no deps)
- Task 4: Write tests (parallel: false, depends on 1+2+3)
- Task 5: Integration (parallel: false, depends on 4)
Execution:
1. Delegate Task 1 and Task 2 simultaneously (parallel)
2. Wait for both to complete
3. Delegate Task 3 (depends on 1+2)
4. Wait for Task 3 to complete
5. Delegate Task 4 (depends on 1+2+3)
1. **Batch 1** (Parallel): Delegate Task 1, 2, 3 simultaneously
- All three CoderAgents work at the same time
- Wait for all three to complete
2. **Batch 2** (Sequential): Delegate Task 4 (tests)
- Only starts after 1+2+3 are done
- Wait for completion
3. **Batch 3** (Sequential): Delegate Task 5 (integration)
- Only starts after Task 4 is done
</example>
<benefits>
- Faster execution for independent tasks
- Better resource utilization
- Reduced total execution time
- Clear dependency management
- **50-70% time savings** for multi-component features
- **Better resource utilization** - multiple CoderAgents work simultaneously
- **Clear dependency management** - batches enforce execution order
- **Atomic batch completion** - entire batch must succeed before proceeding
</benefits>
<integration_with_opencoder>
When OpenCoder delegates to TaskManager:
1. TaskManager creates `.tmp/tasks/{feature}/` with parallel flags
2. OpenCoder reads task structure
3. OpenCoder executes using this parallel batch pattern
4. Results flow back through standard completion signals

<advanced_pattern id="multiple_batch_executors">
<title>Using Multiple BatchExecutors Simultaneously</title>
<applicability>When you have multiple INDEPENDENT features with no cross-dependencies</applicability>
<scenario>
You have two completely separate features:
- Feature A: auth-system (batches: 01-05)
- Feature B: payment-gateway (batches: 01-04)
These features have NO dependencies between them.
They can be developed in parallel.
</scenario>
<execution_pattern>
### Option 1: Sequential Feature Execution (Default)
```javascript
// Execute Feature A completely first
FOR EACH batch in Feature A:
Execute batch (via direct or BatchExecutor)
// Then execute Feature B
FOR EACH batch in Feature B:
Execute batch (via direct or BatchExecutor)
```
### Option 2: Parallel Feature Execution (Advanced)
```javascript
// Execute both features simultaneously
// This requires multiple BatchExecutors or complex orchestration
task(BatchExecutor, {feature: "auth-system", batch: "all"})
task(BatchExecutor, {feature: "payment-gateway", batch: "all"})
// Both run at the same time!
```
</execution_pattern>
<warning>
⚠️ **CAUTION**: Multiple simultaneous BatchExecutors should ONLY be used when:
1. Features are truly independent (no shared files, no shared resources)
2. No cross-feature dependencies exist
3. You have sufficient system resources
4. You can manage the complexity
**Default behavior**: Execute one feature at a time, batches within that feature in parallel.
</warning>
<recommendation>
For most use cases, execute features sequentially:
1. Complete Feature A (all batches)
2. Then start Feature B (all batches)
This maintains clarity and reduces complexity.
Only use parallel features for truly independent workstreams.
</recommendation>

If ANY check fails → fix the issue. Do not signal completion until all checks pass.
### Step 8: Signal Completion
### Step 8: Mark Complete and Signal
Report to orchestrator that task is ready for TaskManager verification:
- Do NOT mark as `completed` yourself (TaskManager does this)
- Include your Self-Review Report
- Include completion summary (max 200 chars)
- List deliverables created
Update subtask status and report completion to orchestrator:
**8.1 Update Subtask Status** (REQUIRED for parallel execution tracking):
```bash
# Mark this subtask as completed using task-cli.ts
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh complete {feature} {seq} "{completion_summary}"
```
Example:
```bash
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh complete auth-system 01 "Implemented JWT authentication with refresh tokens"
```
**8.2 Verify Status Update**:
```bash
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh status {feature}
```
Confirm your subtask now shows: `status: "completed"`
**8.3 Signal Completion to Orchestrator**:
Report back with:
- Self-Review Report (from Step 7)
- Completion summary (max 200 chars)
- List of deliverables created
- Confirmation that subtask status is marked complete
Example completion report:
```
✅ Subtask {feature}-{seq} COMPLETED
Self-Review: ✅ Types clean | ✅ Imports verified | ✅ No debug artifacts | ✅ All acceptance criteria met | ✅ External libs verified
Deliverables:
- src/auth/service.ts
- src/auth/middleware.ts
- src/auth/types.ts
Summary: Implemented JWT authentication with refresh tokens and error handling
```
**Why this matters for parallel execution**:
- Orchestrator monitors subtask status to detect when entire parallel batch is complete
- Without status update, orchestrator cannot proceed to next batch
- Status marking is the signal that enables parallel workflow progression

---
## When to Use BatchExecutor
**Delegate to BatchExecutor when:**
- Multiple tasks need to run simultaneously (parallel batch)
- You need to wait for ALL tasks in a group to complete before proceeding
- TaskManager has identified parallel tasks with `parallel: true`
- You want to offload parallel execution management from the orchestrator
**Do NOT use BatchExecutor when:**
- Only one task needs to execute (use CoderAgent directly)
- Tasks have complex cross-dependencies (handle in orchestrator)
- You need fine-grained control over individual task execution
---
## Workflow
### Step 1: Receive Batch Specification
The orchestrator (OpenCoder/OpenAgent) provides:
- Feature name (e.g., "auth-system")
- Batch number (e.g., "Batch 1")
- List of subtask sequences (e.g., ["01", "02", "03"])
- Session context path (e.g., `.tmp/sessions/2026-02-03-auth/context.md`)
Example prompt from orchestrator:
```
Execute Batch 1 for feature "auth-system":
- Subtasks: 01, 02, 03
- All marked parallel: true
- No dependencies between them
- Session context: .tmp/sessions/2026-02-03-auth/context.md
Execute all three simultaneously using CoderAgent.
Wait for ALL to complete.
Report batch completion status.
```
### Step 2: Load Task Definitions
Read all subtask JSONs to understand requirements:
```
.tmp/tasks/{feature}/
├── subtask_01.json
├── subtask_02.json
└── subtask_03.json
```
For each subtask, extract:
- `title` — Task description
- `acceptance_criteria` — Success criteria
- `deliverables` — Expected outputs
- `context_files` — Standards to follow
- `reference_files` — Source material
- `suggested_agent` — Which agent to use (usually CoderAgent)
### Step 3: Validate Batch Can Run in Parallel
**CRITICAL**: Verify parallel safety before execution:
1. **Check no inter-dependencies**:
- Task 01's `depends_on` should NOT include 02 or 03
- Task 02's `depends_on` should NOT include 01 or 03
- Task 03's `depends_on` should NOT include 01 or 02
2. **Check all have parallel: true**:
- If any task has `parallel: false`, warn orchestrator
- Suggest splitting into separate batches
3. **Verify no shared deliverable conflicts**:
- Tasks should not write to the same files
- Check `deliverables` arrays for overlaps
If validation fails → STOP and report to orchestrator with details.
### Step 4: Execute All Tasks Simultaneously
**Delegate to CoderAgent for each subtask** — ALL AT ONCE:
```javascript
// Task 01
task(
subagent_type="CoderAgent",
description="Execute auth-system subtask 01",
prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/2026-02-03-auth/context.md

```
**Key point**: These three `task()` calls happen in the SAME turn — they all start simultaneously.
### Step 5: Monitor Completion
**Wait for ALL CoderAgents to return**.
While waiting, you can optionally:
- Check status periodically (if monitoring long-running tasks)
- But typically just wait for the task() calls to complete
### Step 6: Verify Batch Completion
**CRITICAL**: Confirm ALL subtasks are marked complete:
```bash
# Check status of all subtasks in this batch
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh status {feature}
```
Expected output:
```
[auth-system] Authentication System Implementation
Status: active | Progress: 30% (3/10)
Subtasks:
✓ 01 - Setup project structure [completed]
✓ 02 - Configure database [completed]
✓ 03 - Install dependencies [completed]
○ 04 - Implement auth service [pending]
...
```
**Verify**:
- All batch subtasks show `status: "completed"`
- No failures or errors reported
- Deliverables exist (if specified)
### Step 7: Report Batch Completion
Return comprehensive status to orchestrator:
```
## Batch 1 Execution Complete
Feature: auth-system
Batch: 1
Subtasks: 01, 02, 03
Status: ✅ ALL COMPLETED
### Individual Results:
✅ Subtask 01 - Setup project structure
- Status: completed
- Deliverables: package.json, tsconfig.json, src/
- Summary: Initialized TypeScript project with required dependencies
✅ Subtask 02 - Configure database
- Status: completed
- Deliverables: src/db/schema.ts, src/db/client.ts
- Summary: Set up Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL schema
✅ Subtask 03 - Install dependencies
- Status: completed
- Deliverables: node_modules/ (verified)
- Summary: Installed all npm packages from package.json
### Batch Statistics:
- Total tasks: 3
- Completed: 3
- Failed: 0
- Success rate: 100%
### Next Steps:
Batch 1 complete. Ready to proceed to Batch 2 (subtask 04).
Batch 2 depends on: 01, 02, 03 (all now satisfied).
```
---
## Error Handling
### If a Task Fails
1. **Detect failure** from CoderAgent return
2. **Check status** of other tasks in batch:
```bash
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh status {feature}
```
3. **Report to orchestrator**:
```
## Batch 1 Execution FAILED
Feature: auth-system
Status: ❌ PARTIAL FAILURE
✅ Subtask 01 - Completed
❌ Subtask 02 - FAILED: {error details}
✅ Subtask 03 - Completed
Recommendation: Fix subtask 02 before proceeding to Batch 2.
```
4. **Do NOT proceed** to next batch — let orchestrator decide
### If Status Verification Fails
If CoderAgent reports completion but status doesn't show completed:
1. **Retry status check** (could be timing issue)
2. **Check if CoderAgent actually ran task-cli.ts complete**
3. **Manually mark complete** if needed:
```bash
bash .opencode/skill/task-management/router.sh complete {feature} {seq} "{summary}"
```
4. **Report discrepancy** to orchestrator
---
## Integration with Orchestrator
### Typical Flow
```
OpenCoder/OpenAgent:
1. Calls TaskManager to create tasks
2. Identifies Batch 1 (tasks 01, 02, 03 — all parallel)
3. Delegates to BatchExecutor:
task(
subagent_type="BatchExecutor",
description="Execute Batch 1 for auth-system",
prompt="Execute subtasks 01, 02, 03 in parallel.
Feature: auth-system
Session: .tmp/sessions/2026-02-03-auth/context.md"
)
4. Waits for BatchExecutor to return
5. Receives batch completion report
6. Proceeds to Batch 2 (if all succeeded)
```
### Benefits of Using BatchExecutor
1. **Simplifies orchestrator logic** — orchestrator doesn't manage parallel complexity
2. **Centralized parallel execution** — one agent handles all parallel delegation
3. **Consistent completion tracking** — BatchExecutor verifies all tasks complete
4. **Clear error reporting** — batch-level status, not individual task noise
5. **Reusable pattern** — same approach for any parallel batch
---
## Example Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Three Independent Components
**TaskManager creates**:
- Task 01: Write User API (parallel: true)
- Task 02: Write Product API (parallel: true)
- Task 03: Write Order API (parallel: true)
- Task 04: Write integration tests (depends on 01+02+03)
**BatchExecutor handles**:
```
Batch 1: Execute 01, 02, 03 simultaneously
↓
All complete → Report success
↓
Orchestrator proceeds to Task 04
```
### Scenario 2: Mixed Parallel and Sequential
**TaskManager creates**:
- Task 01: Setup database (parallel: true)
- Task 02: Configure auth (parallel: true)
- Task 03: Setup logging (parallel: false)
- Task 04: Implement API (depends on 01+02+03)
**BatchExecutor handles**:
```
Batch 1: Execute 01, 02 simultaneously
↓
Batch 2: Execute 03 (sequential)
↓
All complete → Report success
↓
Orchestrator proceeds to Task 04
```
### Scenario 3: Frontend + Backend in Parallel
**TaskManager creates**:
- Task 01: Design UI components (parallel: true, agent: OpenFrontendSpecialist)
- Task 02: Implement backend API (parallel: true, agent: CoderAgent)
- Task 03: Connect frontend to backend (depends on 01+02)
**BatchExecutor handles**:
```
Batch 1:
- Delegate to OpenFrontendSpecialist (Task 01)
- Delegate to CoderAgent (Task 02)
- Both run simultaneously
↓
All complete → Report success
↓
Orchestrator proceeds to Task 03
```

## CLI Commands Reference
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `status {feature}` | Check current status of all subtasks |
| `complete {feature} {seq} "summary"` | Mark subtask as completed |
| `parallel {feature}` | Show parallel-ready tasks |
| `next {feature}` | Show next eligible tasks |
| `deps {feature} {seq}` | Show dependency tree |
---
## Principles
- **Parallel first**: Execute simultaneously unless there's a reason not to
- **Batch atomicity**: Entire batch must complete before proceeding
- **Status verification**: Always confirm with task-cli.ts, don't trust signals alone
- **Clear reporting**: Orchestrator needs complete batch status, not individual task noise
- **Fail fast**: Report failures immediately, don't wait for entire batch if one fails
---
## Quality Standards
- Verify parallel safety before execution (no inter-dependencies)
- Confirm all CoderAgents mark their subtasks complete
- Validate batch completion with task-cli.ts status
- Report comprehensive batch status to orchestrator
- Handle failures gracefully with clear error details

## 🎯 What The Plugin Does
### Active Assistance (Not Passive Monitoring)
The plugin **actively helps** CoderAgent by:
1. **Showing toast notifications** when CoderAgent starts
2. **Validating output** after CoderAgent completes
3. **Displaying success/warning toasts** based on checks
4. **Providing session summaries** at the end
### Three Key Hooks
| Hook | When | Action |
|------|------|--------|
| `tool.execute.before` | CoderAgent starts | Shows monitoring toast |
| `tool.execute.after` | CoderAgent completes | Validates checks, shows result toast |
| `session.idle` | Session ends | Shows completion toast |
---
## 🍞 Toast Notifications
### 1. When CoderAgent Starts
```
🤖 CoderAgent Assistant
Monitoring CoderAgent work - checks will be validated
[Type: info, Duration: 4s]
```
### 2. When All Checks Pass
```
✅ CoderAgent Checks Passed
All validation checks completed successfully
[Type: success, Duration: 5s]
```
### 3. When Checks Need Attention
```
⚠️ CoderAgent Validation
Some checks need attention - see console
[Type: warning, Duration: 6s]
```
### 4. Session Complete
```
🤖 Session Summary
CoderAgent Assistant monitoring complete
[Type: info, Duration: 4s]
```
---
## 🔍 What It Validates
The plugin checks CoderAgent output for:
- ✅ **Self-Review**: Looks for "Self-Review" or "✅ Types clean" in output
- ✅ **Deliverables**: Looks for "Deliverables:" or "created" in output
**Validation Results Displayed:**
```
🤖 CoderAgent Assistant: Validation
Self-Review: ✅
Deliverables: ✅
```
---
