I hired my wife and kids to run my project! 😆 @bradygaster I tested this with a few different configurations and the squad-init process worked great for all of them, even changing to another universe during the onboarding process. Hope this helps!

* hostile QA: end-to-end quality assessment — 10 findings, 4 HIGH severity

Candid assessment requested by Brady. Traced every code path in cli-entry.ts,
shell/index.ts, shell/commands.ts, App.tsx, coordinator.ts, spawn.ts, and the
SDK adapter client.

Key findings:
- Dead sessions never evicted from agentSessions Map after connection drop
- No React ErrorBoundary — any render throw kills the shell
- Nasty-inputs corpus (95 strings) is never imported by any test
- No SIGTERM handler in interactive shell
- MemoryManager exported but never instantiated (dead code)
- Single streaming content slot clobbers multi-agent output
- User input silently dropped during processing (no type-ahead buffer)

Blocking: Waingro dead sessions, ErrorBoundary, dropped input; Marquez help text consistency.

* test: E2E integration tests for REPL and multi-agent coordination (closes bradygaster#372, closes bradygaster#373)

Adds 15 integration tests covering the interactive REPL pipeline and
multi-agent session coordination — areas that previously had zero
end-to-end coverage.

Tests:
- Full REPL round-trip: user input -> parseInput -> dispatch -> response render
- @agent direct message routing with correct agent targeting
- /help and /status slash commands without SDK dispatch
- Error recovery: dispatch failure + no-SDK-connected states
- Multi-agent session tracking: registration, concurrent status, error cleanup
- Fan-out dispatch: concurrent multi-agent with error isolation
- Input parsing integration with registered agent lists

- Wire 67-string nasty-inputs corpus into parseInput, executeCommand, and MessageStream rendering tests
- Add SDK failure scenario tests: ghost response, throws, timeouts, error events, malformed data
- Add stress/boundary tests: 1000 messages, rapid dispatch, 1MB inputs, concurrent sessions, MemoryManager limits
- 62 new tests across 3 files, all passing

* test: add human journey E2E tests for 7 real user scenarios

Test the actual human experience, not internal modules. Each describe
block maps to a filed GitHub issue and simulates what a real person
does when they encounter Squad for the first time and beyond.

Journeys tested (39 assertions):
1. I just installed this — squad init creates .squad/, shows ceremony,
   gives clear next step, writes first-run marker, exits cleanly
2. My first conversation — welcome banner shows agent roster with
   names/roles/emojis, project description, focus area, first-run
   ceremony is one-time only
3. I'm waiting and getting anxious — ThinkingIndicator appears
   immediately, shows elapsed time, activity hints override default,
   NO_COLOR mode works
4. Something went wrong — friendly error messages with remediation
   tips, no stack traces leaked, whitespace input handled gracefully
5. I want to talk to a specific agent — @agent routing, case-
   insensitive matching, comma syntax, unknown names fall to
   coordinator
6. I'm a power user now — /help, /status, /agents, /history, /quit
   all return useful output, unknown commands guide to /help
7. I came back the next day — state persists, first-run consumed,
   team still loaded, focus area survives between sessions

* Copy polish: warmer, human-centered messages across CLI

Every message now feels helpful, not corporate. Changes include:

- cli-entry.ts: 'Your AI team, always ready' instead of generic desc
- commands.ts: Status output changed from 'Root/Active now' to 'Home/Active'
- Help text: 'Check your team' instead of 'Show which squad'
- InputPrompt: 'Message or @agent' instead of corporate placeholder
- App.tsx: 'Your team is assembled. Let's try:' (warmer tone)
- init.ts: 'Your team is assembled' instead of 'ready'
- ThinkingIndicator: Dynamic thinking phrases (Processing, Working)
- All command help: Casual verbs (Who's here, Fresh screen, Leave)

Tests updated to match new output strings. All 125+ CLI tests pass.

* hostile QA: end-to-end quality assessment — 10 findings, 4 HIGH severity

Candid assessment requested by Brady. Traced every code path in cli-entry.ts,
shell/index.ts, shell/commands.ts, App.tsx, coordinator.ts, spawn.ts, and the
SDK adapter client.

Key findings:
- Dead sessions never evicted from agentSessions Map after connection drop
- No React ErrorBoundary — any render throw kills the shell
- Nasty-inputs corpus (95 strings) is never imported by any test
- No SIGTERM handler in interactive shell
- MemoryManager exported but never instantiated (dead code)
- Single streaming content slot clobbers multi-agent output
- User input silently dropped during processing (no type-ahead buffer)

* fix: product love — first 10 seconds that make you want the next 10 minutes

Walked through the full first-time user experience and fixed every moment
that wasn't delightful:

**\/clear\ actually clears (bradygaster#400)**
- Was sending raw ANSI escape as message content (no-op in Ink)
- Now resets message array to empty — genuine fresh slate
- Added \clear?: boolean\ to CommandResult interface

**Natural language routing revealed (bradygaster#402)**
- The coordinator auto-routing is the WOW feature — was completely hidden
- Welcome banner hints: 'Just type · @agent to direct · /help · Ctrl+C exit'
- /help explains: 'Just type naturally — the coordinator routes it'
- First-run prompt: adds 'Or just type naturally' hint
- Input placeholder: 'Type anything or @agent...'

**First-run hint layout (bradygaster#404)**
- Was horizontal Box that broke on narrow terminals
- Now vertical flexDirection=column with breathing room

**Exit message consistency (bradygaster#405)**
- Replaced wave emoji with diamond mark (matches P2 emoji removal)

**Welcome roster wrapping (bradygaster#407)**
- Agents were one dense string that wrapped mid-name
- Now individual Ink elements with flex-wrap for clean word-boundary wrapping

* Fix bradygaster#422: Add context to thinking spinner

Changed ThinkingIndicator default label from 'Thinking...' to
'Routing to agent...' to give users meaningful feedback during
SDK connection and initial routing phases.

When activityHint is provided (e.g., 'Keaton thinking...'), it
still takes priority. The new default eliminates the 'is it broken?'
anxiety during the 3-5 second cold connection wait.

Updated tests to reflect new default label.

* Fix bradygaster#420/bradygaster#425: Add immediate SDK connection feedback

Before this fix, the first message sent to the REPL had 2-7 seconds of
dead air while createSession() blocked on SDK connection. Users thought
the shell was hung.

Changes:
- Set 'Connecting to SDK...' hint BEFORE createSession() in dispatchToCoordinator
- Set 'Connecting to <agent>...' hint BEFORE createSession() in dispatchToAgent
- Use setImmediate to give React a tick to render before blocking
- Update hint to 'Routing...' or 'thinking...' after connection completes

The ThinkingIndicator now displays immediately, eliminating perceived hang.

* hostile QA: end-to-end quality assessment — 10 findings, 4 HIGH severity

Candid assessment requested by Brady. Traced every code path in cli-entry.ts,
shell/index.ts, shell/commands.ts, App.tsx, coordinator.ts, spawn.ts, and the
SDK adapter client.

Key findings:
- Dead sessions never evicted from agentSessions Map after connection drop
- No React ErrorBoundary — any render throw kills the shell
- Nasty-inputs corpus (95 strings) is never imported by any test
- No SIGTERM handler in interactive shell
- MemoryManager exported but never instantiated (dead code)
- Single streaming content slot clobbers multi-agent output
- User input silently dropped during processing (no type-ahead buffer)

* fix: update test assertions to match new UX copy

ThinkingIndicator now says 'Routing to agent...' instead of 'Thinking'.
Help uses progressive disclosure — /clear moved to /help full.
--help first 5 lines now show 'route/agent' instead of 'usage'.

Custom universes actually already work. I just made one and asked them to cast from the Brady Bunch universe. It actually just works as-is. And whilst I like the CEOs idea, I'd prefer avoid using real people's names inside the actual code of the product.

Unless they all say it's okay. :)

Could you just leave this line in and remove the actual NAMES? I bet it would just work. :)

Yeah, I think it would work for known values (like the CEOs example), but the fun part for me is being able to provide values for universe characters that the LLM won't already know (like my family, for instance). I'll remove the CEOs example and replace it with something fictional. Good point about not using real names :)

Closing — custom universes already documented in getting-started-journey.md, superseded by existing work.
