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

Replace JSON output approach with direct MCP tool call in the
/expand-project CLI command to fix feature persistence issue.
Changes:
- Update expand-project.md to call feature_create_bulk MCP tool
- Remove <features_to_create> JSON tag output (not parsed in CLI)
- Simplify confirmation message before feature creation
Why:
- CLI users running /expand-project had features displayed but never
saved to database because nothing parsed the JSON output
- Web UI is unaffected (uses expand_chat_session.py with its own parser)
- This mirrors how initializer_prompt.template.md already works

Add skill to convert GSD codebase mapping (.planning/codebase/*.md)
to Autocoder app_spec.txt format.
This enables onboarding existing projects to Autocoder without
manually writing the XML spec.
Workflow:
1. Run /gsd:map-codebase on existing project
2. Run /gsd-to-autocoder-spec to generate app_spec.txt
3. Start Autocoder normally
Closes#55

Adds the ability to add multiple features to an existing project through
a natural language conversation with Claude, similar to how initial spec
creation works.
Features:
- New "Expand" button in header (keyboard shortcut: E)
- Full-screen chat interface for describing new features
- Claude reads existing app_spec.txt for context
- Features created directly in database after user approval
- Bulk feature creation endpoint for batch operations
New files:
- .claude/commands/expand-project.md - Claude skill for expansion
- server/services/expand_chat_session.py - Chat session service
- server/routers/expand_project.py - WebSocket endpoint
- ui/src/components/ExpandProjectChat.tsx - Chat UI
- ui/src/components/ExpandProjectModal.tsx - Modal wrapper
- ui/src/hooks/useExpandChat.ts - WebSocket hook
Modified:
- Added POST /bulk endpoint to features router
- Added FeatureBulkCreate schemas
- Integrated Expand button and modal in App.tsx

Add multiple escape hatches to prevent users from getting stuck during
spec creation when the WebSocket completion signal fails.
Changes:
- Add "Exit to Project" button always visible in chat header
- Add /exit command detection to immediately exit to project
- Add backend GET /api/spec/status/{project} endpoint to poll status file
- Add getSpecStatus() API function in frontend
- Add status file polling (every 3s) in useSpecChat hook
- Update create-spec.md with status file write instructions
How it works:
1. Happy path: Claude writes .spec_status.json as final step, UI polls
and detects completion, shows "Continue to Project" button
2. Escape hatch: User can always click "Exit to Project" or type /exit
to instantly select the project and close modal, then manually start
the agent from the main UI
This ensures users always have a way forward even if the WebSocket
completion detection fails due to tool call tracking issues.

on the same feature simultaneously. This is essential for parallel agent
execution.
Database changes:
- Add `in_progress` boolean column to Feature model
- Add migration function to handle existing databases
MCP Server tools:
- Add `feature_mark_in_progress` - lock feature when starting work
- Add `feature_clear_in_progress` - unlock feature when abandoning
- Update `feature_get_next` to skip in-progress features
- Update `feature_get_stats` to include in_progress count
- Update `feature_mark_passing` and `feature_skip` to clear in_progress
Backend updates:
- Update progress.py to track and display in_progress count
- Update features router to properly categorize in-progress features
- Update WebSocket to broadcast in_progress in progress updates
- Add in_progress to FeatureResponse schema
Frontend updates:
- Add in_progress to TypeScript types (Feature, ProjectStats, WSProgressMessage)
- Update useWebSocket hook to track in_progress state
Prompt template:
- Add instructions for agents to mark features in-progress immediately
- Document new MCP tools in allowed tools section
Also fixes spec_chat_session.py to use absolute project path instead of
relative path for consistency with CLI behavior.
