BREAKING CHANGE: Supervisors can no longer use Task tool to launch workers
Major refactor of the permission model for product-builder and all 15
continuous supervisors to enforce strict separation: supervisors MUST use
curl/prompt_async via bash to launch workers, and CANNOT use the Task tool.
Key Changes:
1. Product-Builder Permissions (product-builder.md):
- Removed ALL Task permissions for supervisors (previously had 17)
- Kept Task permissions ONLY for 7 one-shot agents:
ca-project-bootstrapper, ca-ref-reader, ca-issue-finder,
ca-session-persister, ca-product-verifier, ca-milestone-reviewer,
ca-final-reporter
- Restricted bash to: echo, curl, sleep, jq only
- Removed Phase B (Architecture) and Phase C.1 (Planning)
- Updated to launch 15 supervisors (up from 13)
2. New Continuous Supervisors:
- ca-architect: Converted from one-shot to continuous supervisor
Monitors for spec needs, new milestones, ambiguities
- ca-epic-planner: Converted from one-shot to continuous supervisor
Monitors for milestones without issues, incomplete epics
3. All 15 Supervisors - Standardized Permissions:
- Removed ALL Task permissions for launching workers
- Workers MUST be launched via curl to OpenCode Server prompt_async API
- Added 'jq *' for JSON parsing (replacing python3)
- Restricted bash to specific commands only (deny all, allow specific)
- Git commands restricted to specific operations (clone*, fetch*, etc.)
- Directory operations (cd, mkdir, rm -rf) only where needed
4. Supervisor-Specific Updates:
- issue-implementor: Removed ca-issue-worker task permission
- ca-continuous-pr-reviewer: Added git + directory ops, removed worker tasks
- ca-uat-tester: Added read-only file/git commands, removed self-dispatch
- ca-bug-hunter: Restricted git to read-only, removed self-dispatch
- ca-test-infra-improver: Added read-only commands, removed self-dispatch
- ca-human-liaison: Removed ca-epic-planner/ca-architect task permissions
- ca-agent-evolver: Added git + directory operations
- ca-architecture-guard: Added read-only + git clone operations
- ca-spec-updater: Added git + directory operations
- ca-backlog-groomer: Removed ca-epic-planner task permission
- ca-docs-writer: Added git + directory operations
- ca-timeline-updater: Added git + directory operations
- ca-project-owner: Minimal permissions (curl, jq, sleep only)
Impact:
- Proper separation of concerns: supervisors orchestrate, workers execute
- No possibility of supervisors blocking on Task tool calls
- True fire-and-forget worker launching via prompt_async
- Consistent permission model across all 15 supervisors
- Maximum parallelism with proper isolation
Architecture now enforces: Product-builder → 15 supervisors → N workers
All launched via curl/prompt_async, NO Task tool for supervisors.
