Replace agent-initiated feature selection with orchestrator pre-selection
for both coding and testing agents. This ensures Mission Control displays
correct feature numbers for testing agents (previously showed "Feature #0").
Key changes:
MCP Server (mcp_server/feature_mcp.py):
- Add feature_get_by_id tool for agents to fetch assigned feature details
- Remove obsolete tools: feature_get_next, feature_claim_next,
feature_claim_for_testing, feature_get_for_regression
- Remove helper functions and unused imports (text, OperationalError, func)
Orchestrator (parallel_orchestrator.py):
- Change running_testing_agents from list to dict[int, Popen]
- Add claim_feature_for_testing() with random selection
- Add release_testing_claim() method
- Pass --testing-feature-id to spawned testing agents
- Use unified [Feature #X] output format for both agent types
Agent Entry Points:
- autonomous_agent_demo.py: Add --testing-feature-id CLI argument
- agent.py: Pass testing_feature_id to get_testing_prompt()
Prompt Templates:
- coding_prompt.template.md: Update to use feature_get_by_id
- testing_prompt.template.md: Update workflow for pre-assigned features
- prompts.py: Update pre-claimed headers for both agent types
WebSocket (server/websocket.py):
- Simplify tracking with unified [Feature #X] pattern
- Remove testing-specific parsing code
Assistant (server/services/assistant_chat_session.py):
- Update help text with current available tools

Major refactoring of the parallel orchestrator to run regression testing
agents independently from coding agents. This improves system reliability
and provides better control over testing behavior.
Key changes:
Database & MCP Layer:
- Add testing_in_progress and last_tested_at columns to Feature model
- Add feature_claim_for_testing() for atomic test claim with retry
- Add feature_release_testing() to release claims after testing
- Refactor claim functions to iterative loops (no recursion)
- Add OperationalError retry handling for transient DB errors
- Reduce MAX_CLAIM_RETRIES from 10 to 5
Orchestrator:
- Decouple testing agent lifecycle from coding agents
- Add _maintain_testing_agents() for continuous testing maintenance
- Fix TOCTOU race in _spawn_testing_agent() - hold lock during spawn
- Add _cleanup_stale_testing_locks() with 30-min timeout
- Fix log ordering - start_session() before stale flag cleanup
- Add stale testing_in_progress cleanup on startup
Dead Code Removal:
- Remove count_testing_in_concurrency from entire stack (12+ files)
- Remove ineffective with_for_update() from features router
API & UI:
- Pass testing_agent_ratio via CLI to orchestrator
- Update testing prompt template to use new claim/release tools
- Rename UI label to "Regression Agents" with clearer description
- Add process_utils.py for cross-platform process tree management
Testing agents now:
- Run continuously as long as passing features exist
- Can re-test features multiple times to catch regressions
- Are controlled by fixed count (0-3) via testing_agent_ratio setting
- Have atomic claiming to prevent concurrent testing of same feature

Introduce a new testing agent architecture that runs regression tests
independently from coding agents, improving quality assurance in
parallel mode.
Key changes:
Testing Agent System:
- Add testing_prompt.template.md for dedicated testing agent role
- Add feature_mark_failing MCP tool for regression detection
- Add --agent-type flag to select initializer/coding/testing mode
- Remove regression testing from coding prompt (now handled by testing agents)
Parallel Orchestrator Enhancements:
- Add testing agent spawning with configurable ratio (--testing-agent-ratio)
- Add comprehensive debug logging system (DebugLog class)
- Improve database session management to prevent stale reads
- Add engine.dispose() calls to refresh connections after subprocess commits
- Fix f-string linting issues (remove unnecessary f-prefixes)
UI Improvements:
- Add testing agent mascot (Chip) to AgentAvatar
- Enhance AgentCard to display testing agent status
- Add testing agent ratio slider in SettingsModal
- Update WebSocket handling for testing agent updates
- Improve ActivityFeed to show testing agent activity
API & Server Updates:
- Add testing_agent_ratio to settings schema and endpoints
- Update process manager to support testing agent type
- Enhance WebSocket messages for agent_update events
Template Changes:
- Delete coding_prompt_yolo.template.md (consolidated into main prompt)
- Update initializer_prompt.template.md with improved structure
- Streamline coding_prompt.template.md workflow
