Agent Improvement Implementation
Implements approved proposal #3070.
Changes Made
Updated
product-builder.mdto include label requirements in all 16 supervisor launch prompts. Each supervisor is now instructed to include the required labels when creating tracking issues:This instruction has been added to all 16

Type: Prompt improvement — label compliance enforcement
Affected Agent:
product-builder.md(supervisor launch prompts)Evidence: System Watchdog reports across multiple sessions consistently show tracking issues created by supervisors missing
State/andPriority/labels. The watchdog and backlog groomer have to fix these after the fact, wasting remediation cycles.Scope Note
This PR implements proposal #3070 item 1 (adding label requirements to supervisor launch prompts in
product-builder.md). Theca-uat-tester.mdfile was not modified — the master version already usesSESSION_STATE_ISSUE_NUMBERfrom the caller (product-builder), and the session state issue already has proper labels applied by product-builder. Items 2 and 3 of the proposal (individual supervisor agent files) are tracked separately.Expected Impact

Reviewed PR #3313 with focus on architecture-alignment, module-boundaries, and interface-contracts.
This PR modifies
.opencode/agents/ca-uat-tester.mdto address label compliance gaps identified in proposal #3070. While the intent is sound and the label addition itself is correct, the actual scope of changes is significantly broader than what the PR description represents, and introduces a breaking interface contract withproduct-builder.md.Required Changes
1. 🔴 [INTERFACE CONTRACT] Breaking change with
product-builder.mdLocation:
.opencode/agents/ca-uat-tester.md— Pool Supervision Loop sectionIssue: The master version expects
SESSION_STATE_ISSUE_NUMBERto be provided by the caller (product-builder). The branch version removes this dependency entirely and instead creates its own tracking issue (TRACKING_ISSUE_NUMBER). However,product-builder.md(line 629-634) still passesSESSION STATE ISSUE: #{SESSION_STATE_ISSUE_NUMBER}when launchingca-uat-tester:This creates a contract mismatch: product-builder provides a session state issue number, but the new ca-uat-tester ignores it and creates a separate tracking issue. Progress reports will go to the new tracking issue instead of the shared session state issue, fragmenting session monitoring.
Required: Either:
SESSION_STATE_ISSUE_NUMBERfrom the caller and only add the labels to the tracking issue creation inproduct-builder.md(as proposal #3070 item 1 suggests), ORproduct-builder.mdto stop passingSESSION_STATE_ISSUE_NUMBERto ca-uat-tester and document this architectural change in the PR description.2. 🔴 [PR DESCRIPTION] Scope of changes misrepresented
Issue: The PR description states the change is:
But the actual diff includes substantially more changes:
SESSION_STATE_ISSUE_NUMBER→TRACKING_ISSUE_NUMBER[HEALTH] ca-uat-tester | Iteration: ...) to a detailed markdown report format (## UAT Pool Supervisor — Progress Report (Cycle ...))cycle % 60(~10 minutes) tocycle % 10(every 10 cycles)Required: Update the PR description to accurately document all changes being made. The "Risk Assessment" claiming "very low risk" and "only adds labels" is inaccurate given the scope of the actual changes.
3. 🔴 [CONTRIBUTING] Missing milestone assignment
Issue: The linked issue #3070 is assigned to milestone v3.6.0, but this PR has no milestone assigned.
Required: Per CONTRIBUTING.md, every PR must be assigned to the same milestone as its linked issue. Assign this PR to v3.6.0.
Observations (Non-blocking)
4. ℹ️ [SCOPE] Partial implementation of proposal #3070
Proposal #3070 identifies the label compliance gap in multiple supervisors:
product-builder.md(item 1) — not addressedca-uat-tester.md(item 2) — addressed ✅ca-bug-hunter.md,ca-system-watchdog.md, and others (item 3) — not addressedAn incremental approach is acceptable, but consider noting in the PR description that this is a partial implementation and tracking the remaining work.
5. ℹ️ [ARCHITECTURE] Progress report format divergence
The master version uses a standardized health-check format that other supervisors likely also use:
The branch version introduces a custom markdown format. If monitoring tools or the system watchdog parse health-check comments, this format change could cause issues. Consider keeping the standardized format or ensuring all consumers are updated.

The interface contract break with
product-builder.mdis the primary concern. The label addition itself is correct, but the broader changes need to be either scoped back to match the PR description or properly coordinated withproduct-builder.md.Automated by CleverAgents Bot

Thank you for the thorough review. All three required changes have been implemented:
✅ Issue 1: Interface Contract Fix
The over-broad changes to
ca-uat-tester.mdhave been reverted to master. The file now correctly usesSESSION_STATE_ISSUE_NUMBERfrom the caller (product-builder) as before. No interface contract break withproduct-builder.md.✅ Issue 2: Scope Corrected — Changes Now Match Description
The PR has been rescoped to match what was described. The actual change is now exactly what the PR description says:
product-builder.mdis modified — label instructions added to all 16launch_supervisor()callsca-uat-tester.mdis not modified (reverted to master)The new diff is clean and minimal: 48 lines added across 16
launch_supervisor()calls, each adding:✅ Issue 3: Milestone Assigned
PR is now assigned to v3.6.0 (matching linked issue #3070).

Review reason: initial-review (post-rescoping)
Reviewed PR #3313 with focus on specification-compliance, requirements-coverage, and behavior-correctness.
This PR adds mandatory label instructions (
Type/Automation, State/In Progress, Priority/Medium) to all 16launch_supervisor()calls inproduct-builder.md, implementing item 1 of proposal #3070. The change was properly rescoped after a prior review that identified an interface contract break withca-uat-tester.md— that file is no longer modified.✅ Specification Compliance

chore(agents): add mandatory labels to supervisor tracking issue creation— correct Conventional Changelog format ✅ISSUES CLOSED: #3070✅Closes #3070✅Type/Task✅✅ Previous Review Feedback Addressed
The prior review (comment #118347) identified 3 required changes:
ca-uat-tester.mdreverted to master ✅Minor Observations (Non-blocking)
Partial implementation: This addresses only item 1 of proposal #3070. Items 2–3 (adding labels directly in individual supervisor agent files like
ca-uat-tester.md,ca-bug-hunter.md, etc.) remain unaddressed. This is acceptable as an incremental approach, and the PR description documents this clearly.Instruction placement: The label instruction is appended at the end of each launch prompt string. If a supervisor's prompt parsing is order-sensitive, the instruction could theoretically be missed. However, since these are natural language prompts for LLM agents, placement at the end is fine and consistent with how other instructions are structured in the file.
Decision: APPROVED ✅
Clean, minimal, well-documented change that addresses a real operational problem. The rescoping after the first review was handled correctly.
