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).
