- Document new tuning knobs (MAM_KILL_ON_READY_TIMEOUT, MAM_DIALOG_TAIL_LINES, MAM_READY_EMPTY_GIVEUP) in .mam.env.example
- Add 3-way lockstep and immutability test suite in tests/test_version_consistency.py
- Separate TUI dialog detection into blocking gate layer (_MAM_MODAL_TOKENS) and recovery layer (_MAM_HINT_TOKENS) to eliminate idle dialog starvation
- Add modal_tokens contract across agent adapters (claude, cline) with dynamic scope facts resolution in send_keys_safe
- Implement fail-closed resolution for ambiguous same-kind panes (R-1) and enforce WORKSPACE_ROOT export (R-2)
- Preserve session on TUI readiness timeout when PID is alive for diagnostics
- Add comprehensive test suite in tests/test_c1_tui_readiness.py and adapter contract assertions in test_a4
- Accept agent_not_ready from herdr agent start to allow startup dialog handling without premature rollback, while preserving fail-closed behavior on dead process timeouts.
- Match Claude fullscreen renderer upsell modal via 'Yes, try it' and dismiss with Escape to avoid dropping permission flags or deadlocking on idle /tui tips.
- Add behavioral test suite in test_b19_headless_reconcile_fixes.py and cross-agent review reports.
- Change N=1->2 split policy from down to right to establish 2 full-height columns
- Share single decision table across GUI and headless modes
- Add _full_height_pane guard to prevent half-height column splits
- Quadruple-wire default max_columns=2 and max_rows=2 across layout.py, lib.sh, and .mam.env.example
- Update unit and integration tests to enforce deterministic 2x2 grid trajectory
- Replace '--target-agent' with mandatory '--creator <session>' flag
- Add explicit rejection error for legacy '--target-agent'
- Add '--planner <session>' flag with fail-fast check when '--plan' is missing
- Implement 2-branch session validation ('is not registered' vs 'is not running')
- Update in-repo references in hooks, SKILL.md, INSTALL.md, and tests
- Add tests/test_loop_cli.py with 9 unit/contract tests
- Standardize --herdr-session as primary flag with --herdr-server alias across create_session.sh, resume_session.sh, update_yaml_resumed.sh, and stop_session.sh
- Guard HERDR_SESSION_NAME in create_session.sh from being overwritten by workspace slug defaults when explicitly provided
- Forward explicit --herdr-session from resume_session.sh to update_yaml_resumed.sh and force-update row metadata
- Add 5 new Tier 2 component tests covering CLI dry-run parsing, usage matching, default preservation, YAML serialization, and resume propagation
- Update multi-agent-mux-create/SKILL.md documentation
- Verified by autonomous multi-agent loop with unanimous PASS verdicts from Claude and Cline
- In stop_session.sh and update_yaml_resumed.sh: standardize explicit --agent option and use resolve_agent_type_from_registry to read agent type from YAML/DB state rather than brittle suffix-only regex inference.
- Update multi-agent-mux-stop/SKILL.md, multi-agent-mux-resume/SKILL.md, multi-agent-mux-create/SKILL.md, and deploy/INSTALL.md to standardize passing --agent explicitly.
- Fix J-1 in layout.py: refactor _env_int(*names, default=None) to take an explicit default parameter, eliminating the falsy-zero trap so MAM_MIN_PANE_COLS=0 is respected.
- Add regression and contract tests: test_j1_env_zero_min_cols_matches_flag_zero, test_j1_env_zero_min_rows_matches_flag_zero, test_comp_stop_agent_fallback_*, test_comp_docs_stop_examples_pass_agent.
- Verified 100% UNANIMOUS PASS from Planner claude and Reviewers claude and cline.
- I-2: add 5.0s upper-bound execution time assertion in test_bug4_headless_unobservable_fast_path to contractually guard SKS_EMPTY_GIVEUP early-exit latency
- I-3: clean up PaneInfo.focused, wire MAM_MAX_PANE_COLS/MAM_MAX_COLS environment variables and CLI --max-cols flag
- C-1: apply max_columns growth guard to headless 0x0 layouts, mirroring GUI behavior
- Promoted Planner consensus plan Rev.2 (plan-fea5f1b2.md) and unanimous PASS reports from Reviewers Claude (report-55d1a1d9.md) and Cline (report-6f18ba0f.md)
- Verified all 333 test cases pass with exit code 0
