# BRIEFING — 2026-06-28T19:47:00-04:00

## Mission
Implement the `update_category_image` feature in apps/backend and apps/mcp-server.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: teamwork_preview_orchestrator
- Roles: orchestrator, user_liaison, human_reporter, successor
- Working directory: /home/ti/git/homaroma/.agents/orchestrator
- Original parent: parent
- Original parent conversation ID: 8d1a33c5-564d-44e2-a895-746ca5ea2e5a

## 🔒 My Workflow
- **Pattern**: Project Pattern
- **Scope document**: /home/ti/git/homaroma/.agents/orchestrator/PROJECT.md
1. **Decompose**: Decompose the task into Backend implementation (M1), MCP Tool implementation (M2), and E2E & Type Verification (M3).
2. **Dispatch & Execute**:
   - **Delegate (sub-orchestrator)**: Delegate tasks to specialists (Explorer, Worker, Reviewer, Auditor).
3. **On failure** (in this order):
   - Retry: nudge stuck agent or re-send task
   - Replace: spawn fresh agent with partial progress
   - Skip: proceed without (only if non-critical)
   - Redistribute: split stuck agent's remaining work
   - Redesign: re-partition decomposition
   - Escalate: report to parent (sub-orchestrators only, last resort)
4. **Succession**: Self-succeed at 16 spawns, write handoff.md, spawn successor.
- **Work items**:
  1. M1: Backend Implementation [completed]
  2. M2: MCP Tool Implementation [completed]
  3. M3: E2E Verification [completed]
- **Current phase**: 4
- **Current focus**: Synthesizing results and reporting back to the parent agent.

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Never write, modify, or create source code files directly.
- Never run build/test commands yourself — require workers to do so.
- You MAY use file-editing tools ONLY for metadata/state files (.md) in your .agents/ folder.
- Never reuse a subagent after it has delivered its handoff — always spawn fresh

## Current Parent
- Conversation ID: 8d1a33c5-564d-44e2-a895-746ca5ea2e5a
- Updated: not yet

## Key Decisions Made
- Decompose the implementation into M1 (Backend Logic), M2 (MCP Tool), and M3 (Verification).

## Succession Status
- Succession required: no
- Spawn count: 4 / 16
- Pending subagents: none
- Predecessor: none
- Successor: not yet spawned

## Active Timers
- Heartbeat cron: task-25
- Safety timer: none
- On succession: kill all timers before spawning successor
- On context truncation: run `manage_task(Action="list")` — re-create if missing
