feat: implement Phase 0 TDD autopilot dry-run foundation

Implements the complete Phase 0 spike for autonomous TDD workflow with orchestration architecture.

## What's New

### Core Services (tm-core)
- **PreflightChecker**: Validates environment prerequisites
  - Test command detection from package.json
  - Git working tree status validation
  - Required tools availability (git, gh, node, npm)
  - Default branch detection

- **TaskLoaderService**: Comprehensive task validation
  - Task existence and structure validation
  - Subtask dependency analysis with circular detection
  - Execution order calculation via topological sort
  - Helpful expansion suggestions for unready tasks

### CLI Command
- **autopilot command**: `tm autopilot <taskId> --dry-run`
  - Displays complete execution plan without executing
  - Shows preflight check results
  - Lists subtasks in dependency order
  - Preview RED/GREEN/COMMIT phases per subtask
  - Registered in command registry

### Architecture Documentation
- **Phase 0 completion**: Marked tdd-workflow-phase-0-spike.md as complete
- **Orchestration model**: Added execution model section to main workflow doc
  - Clarifies orchestrator guides AI sessions vs direct execution
  - WorkflowOrchestrator API design (getNextWorkUnit, completeWorkUnit)
  - State machine approach for phase transitions

- **Phase 1 roadmap**: New tdd-workflow-phase-1-orchestrator.md
  - Detailed state machine specifications
  - MCP integration plan with new tool definitions
  - Implementation checklist with 6 clear steps
  - Example usage flows

## Technical Details

**Preflight Checks**:
-  Test command detection
-  Git working tree status
-  Required tools validation
-  Default branch detection

**Task Validation**:
-  Task existence check
-  Status validation (no completed/cancelled tasks)
-  Subtask presence validation
-  Dependency resolution with circular detection
-  Execution order calculation

**Architecture Decision**:
Adopted orchestration model where WorkflowOrchestrator maintains state and generates work units, while Claude Code (via MCP) executes the actual work. This provides:
- Clean separation of concerns
- Human-in-the-loop capability
- Simpler implementation (no AI integration in orchestrator)
- Flexible executor support

## Out of Scope (Phase 0)
- Actual test generation
- Actual code implementation
- Git operations (commits, branches, PR)
- Test execution
→ All deferred to Phase 1

## Execution Model
### Orchestration vs Direct Execution
The autopilot system uses an **orchestration model** rather than direct code execution:
**Orchestrator Role** (tm-core WorkflowOrchestrator):
- Maintains state machine tracking current phase (RED/GREEN/COMMIT) per subtask
- Validates preconditions (tests pass, git state clean, etc.)
- Returns "work units" describing what needs to be done next
- Records completion and advances to next phase
- Persists state for resumability
**Executor Role** (Claude Code/AI session via MCP):
- Queries orchestrator for next work unit
- Executes the work (generates tests, writes code, runs tests, makes commits)
- Reports results back to orchestrator
- Handles file operations and tool invocations
**Why This Approach?**
- Leverages existing AI capabilities (Claude Code) rather than duplicating them
- MCP protocol provides clean separation between state management and execution
- Allows human oversight and intervention at each phase
- Simpler to implement: orchestrator is pure state logic, no code generation needed
- Enables multiple executor types (Claude Code, other AI tools, human developers)
**Example Flow**:
```typescript
// Claude Code (via MCP) queries orchestrator
const workUnit = await orchestrator.getNextWorkUnit('42');
// => {
// phase: 'RED',
// subtask: '42.1',
// action: 'Generate failing tests for metrics schema',
// context: { title, description, dependencies, testFile: 'src/__tests__/schema.test.js' }
// }
// Claude Code executes the work (writes test file, runs tests)
// Then reports back
await orchestrator.completeWorkUnit('42', '42.1', 'RED', {
success: true,
testsCreated: ['src/__tests__/schema.test.js'],
testsFailed: 3
});
// Query again for next phase
const nextWorkUnit = await orchestrator.getNextWorkUnit('42');
// => { phase: 'GREEN', subtask: '42.1', action: 'Implement code to pass tests', ... }
```

- Implement WorkflowOrchestrator in tm-core as a **state machine** that tracks TDD phases per subtask.
- Support subtask loop (red/green/commit) with framework-agnostic test generation and detected test command; commit gating on passing tests and coverage.
- Orchestrator **guides** the current AI session (Claude Code/MCP client) rather than executing code itself.
- Add Git/Test adapters for status checks and validation (not direct execution).
- WorkflowOrchestrator API:
- `getNextWorkUnit(taskId)` → returns next phase to execute (RED/GREEN/COMMIT) with context
- `completeWorkUnit(taskId, subtaskId, phase, result)` → records completion and advances state
- `getRunState(taskId)` → returns current progress and resumability data
- MCP integration: expose work unit endpoints so Claude Code can query "what to do next" and report back.
- Branch/tag mapping via existing tag-management APIs.
- Run report persisted under .taskmaster/reports/runs/.
- Run report persisted under .taskmaster/reports/runs/ with state checkpoints for resumability.

# Phase 1: Core Rails - State Machine & Orchestration
## Objective
Build the WorkflowOrchestrator as a state machine that guides AI sessions through TDD workflow, rather than directly executing code.
## Architecture Overview
### Execution Model
The orchestrator acts as a **state manager and guide**, not a code executor:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Claude Code (MCP Client) │
│ - Queries "what to do next" │
│ - Executes work (writes tests, code, runs commands) │
│ - Reports completion │
└────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│ MCP Protocol
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ WorkflowOrchestrator (tm-core) │
│ - Maintains state machine (RED → GREEN → COMMIT) │
│ - Returns work units with context │
│ - Validates preconditions │
│ - Records progress │
│ - Persists state for resumability │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Why This Approach?
1. **Separation of Concerns**: State management separate from code execution
2. **Leverage Existing Tools**: Uses Claude Code's capabilities instead of reimplementing
3. **Human-in-the-Loop**: Easy to inspect state and intervene at any phase
4. **Simpler Implementation**: Orchestrator is pure logic, no AI model integration needed
5. **Flexible Executors**: Any tool (Claude Code, human, other AI) can execute work units
## Core Components
### 1. WorkflowOrchestrator Service
**Location**: `packages/tm-core/src/services/workflow-orchestrator.service.ts`
**Responsibilities**:
- Track current phase (RED/GREEN/COMMIT) per subtask
- Generate work units with context for each phase
- Validate phase completion criteria
- Advance state machine on successful completion
- Handle errors and retry logic
- Persist run state for resumability
**API**:
```typescript
interface WorkflowOrchestrator {
// Start a new autopilot run
startRun(taskId: string, options?: RunOptions): Promise<RunContext>;
// Get next work unit to execute
getNextWorkUnit(runId: string): Promise<WorkUnit | null>;
// Report work unit completion
completeWorkUnit(
runId: string,
workUnitId: string,
result: WorkUnitResult
): Promise<void>;
// Get current run state
getRunState(runId: string): Promise<RunState>;
// Pause/resume
pauseRun(runId: string): Promise<void>;
resumeRun(runId: string): Promise<void>;
}
interface WorkUnit {
id: string; // Unique work unit ID
phase: 'RED' | 'GREEN' | 'COMMIT';
subtaskId: string; // e.g., "42.1"
action: string; // Human-readable description
context: WorkUnitContext; // All info needed to execute
preconditions: Precondition[]; // Checks before execution
}
interface WorkUnitContext {
taskId: string;
taskTitle: string;
subtaskTitle: string;
subtaskDescription: string;
dependencies: string[]; // Completed subtask IDs
testCommand: string; // e.g., "npm test"
// Phase-specific context
redPhase?: {
testFile: string; // Where to create test
testFramework: string; // e.g., "vitest"
acceptanceCriteria: string[];
};
greenPhase?: {
testFile: string; // Test to make pass
implementationHints: string[];
expectedFiles: string[]; // Files likely to modify
};
commitPhase?: {
commitMessage: string; // Pre-generated message
filesToCommit: string[]; // Files modified in RED+GREEN
};
}
interface WorkUnitResult {
success: boolean;
phase: 'RED' | 'GREEN' | 'COMMIT';
// RED phase results
testsCreated?: string[];
testsFailed?: number;
// GREEN phase results
testsPassed?: number;
filesModified?: string[];
attempts?: number;
// COMMIT phase results
commitSha?: string;
// Common
error?: string;
logs?: string;
}
interface RunState {
runId: string;
taskId: string;
status: 'running' | 'paused' | 'completed' | 'failed';
currentPhase: 'RED' | 'GREEN' | 'COMMIT';
currentSubtask: string;
completedSubtasks: string[];
failedSubtasks: string[];
startTime: Date;
lastUpdateTime: Date;
// Resumability
checkpoint: {
subtaskId: string;
phase: 'RED' | 'GREEN' | 'COMMIT';
attemptNumber: number;
};
}
```
### 2. State Machine Logic
**Phase Transitions**:
```
START → RED(subtask 1) → GREEN(subtask 1) → COMMIT(subtask 1)
RED(subtask 2) ← ─ ─ ─ ┘
GREEN(subtask 2)
COMMIT(subtask 2)
(repeat for remaining subtasks)
FINALIZE → END
```
**Phase Rules**:
- **RED**: Can only transition to GREEN if tests created and failing
- **GREEN**: Can only transition to COMMIT if tests passing (attempt < maxAttempts)
- **COMMIT**: Can only transition to next RED if commit successful
- **FINALIZE**: Can only start if all subtasks completed
**Preconditions**:
- RED: No uncommitted changes (or staged from previous GREEN that failed)
- GREEN: RED phase complete, tests exist and are failing
- COMMIT: GREEN phase complete, all tests passing, coverage meets threshold
### 3. MCP Integration
**New MCP Tools** (expose WorkflowOrchestrator via MCP):
```typescript
// Start an autopilot run
mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_start(taskId: string, dryRun?: boolean)
// Get next work unit
mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_next_work_unit(runId: string)
// Complete current work unit
mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_complete_work_unit(
runId: string,
workUnitId: string,
result: WorkUnitResult
)
// Get run state
mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_get_state(runId: string)
// Pause/resume
mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_pause(runId: string)
mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_resume(runId: string)
```
### 4. Git/Test Adapters
**GitAdapter** (`packages/tm-core/src/services/git-adapter.service.ts`):
- Check working tree status
- Validate branch state
- Read git config (user, remote, default branch)
- **Does NOT execute** git commands (that's executor's job)
**TestAdapter** (`packages/tm-core/src/services/test-adapter.service.ts`):
- Detect test framework from package.json
- Parse test output (failures, passes, coverage)
- Validate coverage thresholds
- **Does NOT run** tests (that's executor's job)
### 5. Run State Persistence
**Storage Location**: `.taskmaster/reports/runs/<runId>/`
**Files**:
- `state.json` - Current run state (for resumability)
- `log.jsonl` - Event stream (timestamped work unit completions)
- `manifest.json` - Run metadata
- `work-units.json` - All work units generated for this run
**Example `state.json`**:
```json
{
"runId": "2025-01-15-142033",
"taskId": "42",
"status": "paused",
"currentPhase": "GREEN",
"currentSubtask": "42.2",
"completedSubtasks": ["42.1"],
"failedSubtasks": [],
"checkpoint": {
"subtaskId": "42.2",
"phase": "GREEN",
"attemptNumber": 2
},
"startTime": "2025-01-15T14:20:33Z",
"lastUpdateTime": "2025-01-15T14:35:12Z"
}
```
## Implementation Plan
### Step 1: WorkflowOrchestrator Skeleton
- [ ] Create `workflow-orchestrator.service.ts` with interfaces
- [ ] Implement state machine logic (phase transitions)
- [ ] Add run state persistence (state.json, log.jsonl)
- [ ] Write unit tests for state machine
### Step 2: Work Unit Generation
- [ ] Implement `getNextWorkUnit()` with context assembly
- [ ] Generate RED phase work units (test file paths, criteria)
- [ ] Generate GREEN phase work units (implementation hints)
- [ ] Generate COMMIT phase work units (commit messages)
### Step 3: Git/Test Adapters
- [ ] Create GitAdapter for status checks only
- [ ] Create TestAdapter for output parsing only
- [ ] Add precondition validation using adapters
- [ ] Write adapter unit tests
### Step 4: MCP Integration
- [ ] Add MCP tool definitions in `packages/mcp-server/src/tools/`
- [ ] Wire up WorkflowOrchestrator to MCP tools
- [ ] Test MCP tools via Claude Code
- [ ] Document MCP workflow in CLAUDE.md
### Step 5: CLI Integration
- [ ] Update `autopilot.command.ts` to call WorkflowOrchestrator
- [ ] Add `--interactive` mode that shows work units and waits for completion
- [ ] Add `--resume` flag to continue paused runs
- [ ] Test end-to-end flow
### Step 6: Integration Testing
- [ ] Create test task with 2-3 subtasks
- [ ] Run autopilot start get work unit complete repeat
- [ ] Verify state persistence and resumability
- [ ] Test failure scenarios (test failures, git issues)
## Success Criteria
- [ ] WorkflowOrchestrator can generate work units for all phases
- [ ] MCP tools allow Claude Code to query and complete work units
- [ ] State persists correctly between work unit completions
- [ ] Run can be paused and resumed from checkpoint
- [ ] Adapters validate preconditions without executing commands
- [ ] End-to-end: Claude Code can complete a simple task via work units
## Out of Scope (Phase 1)
- Actual git operations (branch creation, commits) - executor handles this
- Actual test execution - executor handles this
- PR creation - deferred to Phase 2
- TUI interface - deferred to Phase 3
- Coverage enforcement - deferred to Phase 2
## Example Usage Flow
```bash
# Terminal 1: Claude Code session
$ claude
# In Claude Code (via MCP):

[Calls mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_start(42)]
→ Run started: run-2025-01-15-142033
> Get next work unit
[Calls mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_next_work_unit(run-2025-01-15-142033)]
→ Work unit: RED phase for subtask 42.1
→ Action: Generate failing tests for metrics schema
→ Test file: src/__tests__/schema.test.js
→ Framework: vitest
> [Claude Code creates test file, runs tests]
> Complete work unit
[Calls mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_complete_work_unit(
run-2025-01-15-142033,
workUnit-42.1-RED,
{ success: true, testsCreated: ['src/__tests__/schema.test.js'], testsFailed: 3 }
)]
→ Work unit completed. State saved.
> Get next work unit
[Calls mcp__task_master_ai__autopilot_next_work_unit(run-2025-01-15-142033)]
→ Work unit: GREEN phase for subtask 42.1
→ Action: Implement code to pass failing tests
→ Test file: src/__tests__/schema.test.js
→ Expected implementation: src/schema.js
> [Claude Code implements schema.js, runs tests, confirms all pass]
> Complete work unit
[...]
→ Work unit completed. Ready for COMMIT.
> Get next work unit
[...]
→ Work unit: COMMIT phase for subtask 42.1
→ Commit message: "feat(metrics): add metrics schema (task 42.1)"
→ Files to commit: src/__tests__/schema.test.js, src/schema.js
> [Claude Code stages files and commits]
> Complete work unit
[...]
→ Subtask 42.1 complete! Moving to 42.2...
