What

Enhances FIDO (Quality Owner) with PR requirements enforcement capabilities, updates routing rules, adds a pre-push quality checklist for @copilot, and adds a comprehensive GitHub workflow guide with visual Mermaid diagrams.

Why

FIDO already owns quality gates and PR blocking authority, but had no knowledge of the PR requirements spec (.github/PR_REQUIREMENTS.md) introduced in PR #672. The routing table had no entry for PR requirements enforcement work. Meanwhile, the @copilot coding agent had no pre-push quality checklist. This creates a gap where CI catches issues that could have been prevented earlier.

Additionally, new contributors need a single-page reference explaining how the repo works — branches, PRs, CI gates, labels, triage, and escape hatches.

Refs #100, #103

How

1. FIDO charter upgrade (.squad/agents/fido/charter.md)

  • Added PR Requirements Enforcement section with 9 specific checks
  • Pre-push checks: CHANGELOG gate, exports map, build validation, test validation, bleed detection
  • PR description checks: template completeness, issue reference, breaking changes, waiver documentation
  • User-facing change detection logic matching CI gate behavior
  • Escape hatch reference table with all skip labels
  • Runnable shell commands for local validation

2. Routing rules update (.squad/routing.md)

  • Added PR requirements enforcement work type routed to FIDO
  • Added module ownership: FIDO is primary for PR_REQUIREMENTS.md, PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, check-exports-map.mjs; secondary for squad-ci.yml
  • Added routing principle Please Don't Lock squad into using GitHub #8: spawn FIDO for PR compliance checks before opening PRs

3. Copilot instructions update (.github/copilot-instructions.md)

  • Added PR Requirements — Pre-Push Quality Checklist section with 6 items
  • Documents CHANGELOG gate, exports map, samples build, PR description completeness, user-facing change detection, and escape hatches

4. Workflow guide (docs/GITHUB_WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md)

  • 14-chapter reference covering all repo concepts for new contributors
  • 7 Mermaid diagrams: PR lifecycle, CI pipeline, branch strategy, issue triage, label enforcement, escape hatches, fork contribution workflow
  • Complete reference tables for feature flags, labels, all 15 workflows, and PR requirements by category

Testing

  • No code changes — documentation, agent charter, and routing only
  • All four files are additive (no existing content removed or modified destructively)
  • pm run build not applicable (no source code changes)
  • pm test not applicable (no test changes)

Docs

  • Workflow guide added to docs/GITHUB_WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md
  • N/A for CHANGELOG — no user-facing SDK/CLI change (this PR modifies .squad/ state files and .github/ infrastructure, which are explicitly exempt per PR_REQUIREMENTS.md)
  • N/A for README — no new feature or module added

Exports

N/A — no new modules

Breaking Changes

None

Waivers

None required — this PR is categorically exempt from Documentation (d), Exports (e), and Samples (f) requirements per the Edge Case Exemptions table in PR_REQUIREMENTS.md (CI/GitHub Actions workflow changes + internal .squad/ state files).

This table lists a samples-build CI job (and references PR #674), but .github/workflows/squad-ci.yml currently does not define a samples-build job. Update the guide to reflect the actual CI jobs, or mark this as planned (e.g., #103) rather than already present.

This checklist references a skip-samples-ci label and says CI builds all 11 samples for SDK changes, but there is currently no samples-build job, skip-samples-ci label check, or SQUAD_SAMPLES_CI feature flag in .github/workflows/squad-ci.yml. This will mislead contributors; either remove/mark this as a future (#103) manual-only requirement or implement the corresponding CI gate + label/flag support.

6. **Template completeness**: Verify the PR description includes non-empty content for: What, Why, How, Testing. If SDK/CLI files changed, Docs section must mention CHANGELOG.
7. **Issue reference**: PR body must contain `Closes #N` or `Part of #N`.
8. **Breaking changes**: If any public API signature changed (parameter name, type, return type, removed export), the Breaking Changes section must be filled.
9. **Waiver documentation**: If any skip label (`skip-changelog`, `skip-exports-check`, `skip-samples-ci`) is present, verify a `## Waivers` section exists with reason and reviewer approval.

This charter adds skip-samples-ci as a recognized skip label / escape hatch, but the repo currently doesn't implement a samples CI gate or reference skip-samples-ci anywhere in workflows (only skip-changelog, skip-exports-check, and large-deletion-approved exist). To keep the charter aligned with actual enforcement, remove skip-samples-ci (or mark samples checks as manual-only until the gate from #103 exists).

9. **Waiver documentation**: If any skip label (`skip-changelog`, `skip-exports-check`, `skip-samples-ci`) is present, verify a `## Waivers` section exists with reason and reviewer approval.

The CI pipeline diagram includes a samples-build job, but .github/workflows/squad-ci.yml currently has no samples-build job (and no samples CI gate). This should be updated to match the actual set of CI jobs, or annotated as a future/planned gate (e.g., tracked by #103).

This section states docs-quality runs markdownlint + cspell "on docs", but the repo’s markdownlint/cspell configs are currently scoped to docs/src/content/**/*.md and README.md only (so this guide file isn’t checked). Consider tightening the wording to match the actual globs, and/or expanding the globs to include docs/*.md if these files are intended to be covered by docs-quality.

@copilot please review this PR. Focus on whether the FIDO charter enforcement rules align correctly with the existing CI gates in squad-ci.yml and the PR requirements spec in .github/PR_REQUIREMENTS.m...

Reviewed and aligned all three files with the actual CI gates in squad-ci.yml. Commit 29f3d1d addresses all the mismatches found:

  • docs/GITHUB_WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md: samples-build, SQUAD_SAMPLES_CI, and skip-samples-ci are now annotated as planned (tracked in Workflow dual-path support for .squad/ migration #103) in both the Mermaid diagrams and the reference tables. The docs-quality row now lists the exact globs it covers (docs/src/content/**/*.md and README.md).
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md: The "Samples build" checklist item is rewritten as a manual check with a clear note that the CI gate is planned in Workflow dual-path support for .squad/ migration #103 — removed the misleading skip-samples-ci label reference.
  • .squad/agents/fido/charter.md: Removed skip-samples-ci from the waiver-documentation check (I don't see a tool called task in github copilot #9) and from the escape hatches table, since no samples CI gate exists yet to skip.

* docs(ai-team): CLI UI Polish PRD finalized — 20 issues created

Session: 2026-03-01T20-13-00Z-ui-polish-prd
Requested by: Brady

Changes:
- Created 6 orchestration logs (.squad/orchestration-log/2026-03-01T20-24-57Z-*.md)
- Created session log (.squad/log/2026-03-01T20-13-00Z-ui-polish-prd.md)
- Merged 5 decision files into decisions.md (PRD strategy, cast confirmation, processing state, Brady directives)
- Deleted inbox files after merge (deduplication complete)
- Updated team history files (Cheritto, Kovash, Redfoot, Marquez, Keaton, Fenster)
- PRD created (docs/prd-cli-ui-polish.md) with 20 discrete issues (bradygaster#662-681) for alpha-1 release
- Pragmatic alpha-first strategy: P0 blockers (blank screens, spinner, banner) + P1 quick wins, defer grand redesign

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(tui): consolidate separators, fix empty space, add info hierarchy and breathing room (bradygaster#655, bradygaster#670, bradygaster#671, bradygaster#677)

- Create shared Separator component in components/Separator.tsx (bradygaster#677)
  All inline separator rendering (box.h.repeat) replaced across
  App.tsx, AgentPanel.tsx, and MessageStream.tsx

- Remove flexGrow={1} from MessageStream outer Box (bradygaster#655)
  This was pushing content to bottom of viewport with empty space above

- Bold primary CTAs in dim contexts (bradygaster#670)
  Header: @agent and /help now bold within dimColor usage line
  First-run: 'Try:' prompt bolded
  AgentPanel empty state: 'Send a message' and '/help' bolded

- Add whitespace breathing room (bradygaster#671)
  Header wrapper gets marginBottom={1}
  Turn separators get marginTop={1}
  AgentPanel bottom separators upgraded from marginTop={0} to marginTop={1}

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs: update Cheritto history and add separator decision

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: wire onPermissionRequest handler in CLI session creation (bradygaster#651)

Add approveAllPermissions handler to all 4 client.createSession() calls
in the CLI shell. The handler was defined in SDK adapter types but never
wired, causing a raw SDK error for users.

- Add approve-all handler in shell/index.ts (CLI runs locally with user trust)
- Export SquadPermissionHandler types from @bradygaster/squad-sdk/client
- Add clear error guidance in adapter/client.ts for missing handler

Closes bradygaster#651

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(tui): bump secondary text contrast and wire table wrapping (bradygaster#666, bradygaster#676)

- Replace dimColor with color="gray" for secondary text (system messages,
  italic markdown, duration labels, agent activity feed) — higher contrast
  than dim on dark terminals
- Add GRAY ANSI constant and secondary() helper to output.ts
- Add wrapTableContent() + truncateTableColumns() to MessageStream — tables
  exceeding terminal width are column-truncated with ellipsis
- Wire table wrapping into both message history and streaming content paths
