🏗️ Flight — Lead Review

PR: docs: document squad config model CLI command — Closes #68
Source: bradygaster#628 — ported by PAO

What I reviewed

• docs/src/content/docs/reference/config-model.md — new reference page (188 lines)
• docs/src/content/docs/reference/cli.md — count bump + 4 new table rows
• docs/src/navigation.ts — nav entry in Reference section
• test/docs-build.test.ts — EXPECTED_REFERENCE updated
• .squad/agents/pao/history.md — session learnings logged

✅ What's good

Content quality is high. The new config-model.md page covers everything a user needs:

• Clear "What it does" framing upfront
• Syntax block with all flag permutations
• Arguments and Options tables — properly separated
• Five working examples with expected terminal output
• The model resolution hierarchy table (Layer 1–5) is excellent context — critical for users to understand what config model actually controls
• Config file format documented with field-level types and semantics
• Available models catalog grouped by tier
• Validation behavior described (both model name and agent name validation)
• "See also" cross-links to feature docs, scenario guide, and config reference

Count math is correct. 16 → 20: exactly four new rows added (config model, config model <name>, config model <name> --agent <a>, config model --clear). ✓

Navigation placement is right. Config Model inserted after Config in Reference — logical grouping, alphabetically coherent.

Test update is consistent. config-model inserted between config and api-reference in EXPECTED_REFERENCE — mirrors navigation order. ✓

Experimental warning at top of page is appropriate for alpha-stage software. ✓

PAO history entry is well-written — captures the TDD approach, the cross-linking decision rationale, and the Windows EBUSY environment note. Good institutional memory.

🔍 Minor observations (non-blocking)

1. CLI table ordering: config model rows are inserted between copilot --agent squad and squad nap. Slightly discontinuous — config model feels like it belongs earlier near other config-adjacent commands — but this is cosmetic and doesn't affect usability.

2. Internal link format: cli.md links to /docs/reference/config-model/. Verify this resolves correctly against the Astro base path config. If the site root is /docs/, the link is correct; if it's /, the leading /docs prefix would 404. Worth a quick spot-check in the deployed preview if one exists.

3. Double blank line after the experimental callout in config-model.md is unusual — single blank line is the house style. Very minor.

---

Summary

This is a clean, thorough documentation PR. Structure follows existing reference page conventions, examples are practical, and the model resolution context table is the right level of depth for a reference page. No accuracy concerns, no missing pieces.

Verdict: APPROVE

Checklist

Check	Result	Notes
Test assertions updated in docs-build.test.ts	✅ Pass	EXPECTED_REFERENCE correctly adds 'config-model'
Nav slug matches file path	✅ Pass	reference/config-model → docs/src/content/docs/reference/config-model.md
Internal links valid	✅ Pass	All 4 cross-linked files confirmed to exist
npm run build --prefix docs	✅ Pass	Build completed with zero errors
docs-build.test.ts — all 22 tests	✅ Pass	All 22 tests pass after build

---

Detail

Test run: All 22 tests passed. A [vitest-worker]: Timeout calling "onTaskUpdate" unhandled error appeared — this is the known Windows EBUSY / esbuild file-lock issue documented in the PAO history, not a test failure. Build-triggered tests are reliable; the vitest worker timeout is a local environment artifact.

CLI count: cli.md updated from 16 → 20 commands (+4 config model variants). Count is correct.

Content quality: The new reference page is well-structured — clear syntax table, arguments/options breakdown, examples with expected output, config file schema, model resolution layer table, and a "See also" section. Cross-links to model-selection/#5-layer-model-resolution are accurate.

No issues found.

❌ Blocker: /docs/ prefix in links — config-model.md

The house convention (confirmed from sdk.md, cli.md, and all existing reference pages) is to use no /docs/ prefix on internal links. Example of correct format: [model preferences](/reference/config-model/) (as used in the cli.md change in this same PR).

config-model.md has 7 links that violate this:

Location	Current (broken)	Correct
"What it does" section	/docs/features/model-selection/#5-layer-model-resolution	/features/model-selection/#5-layer-model-resolution
"Clear the default model" example	/docs/features/model-selection/#5-layer-model-resolution	/features/model-selection/#5-layer-model-resolution
"How it fits" section	/docs/features/model-selection/#5-layer-model-resolution	/features/model-selection/#5-layer-model-resolution
See also — Model selection	/docs/features/model-selection/	/features/model-selection/
See also — Switching models	/docs/scenarios/switching-models/	/scenarios/switching-models/
See also — Configuration reference	/docs/reference/config/#model-configuration	/reference/config/#model-configuration
See also — CLI reference	/docs/reference/cli/	/reference/cli/

These will 404 in production if the Astro base is /docs/, because the router would resolve them as /docs/docs/....

---

✅ Everything else looks good

• Build: clean, no errors
• Tests: 22/22 passing
• No .squad/ files in diff — clean boundary
• CLI count math correct (16 → 20, four new rows)
• Nav placement and test assertion consistent
• cli.md new link uses correct format: /reference/config-model/ ✓

---

Verdict: NEEDS FIXES

Strip /docs/ from the 7 links in config-model.md listed above, then re-request review.

Flight - Re-Review

Checked the diff after PAO fixes. Here is the status on each of the 3 items:

---

1. CLI table placement - NOT FIXED

The config model rows were moved to after squad plugin marketplace and before squad export. But the requirement was to place them near other config commands - and there are no other squad config commands in the table. The rows cannot satisfy that criterion.

The rows are still broadly between the copilot block (rows ~13-15) and the nap block (rows ~29-31) in the table. Moving them one slot down (inserting plugin marketplace in front) does not resolve the grouping problem.

Suggested fix: Move the four config model rows to sit directly after squad upgrade --migrate-directory and squad link - those are the other configure-Squad commands near the top of the table. Alternatively, move them to just before squad nap as a terminal configuration/maintenance group.

---

2. Link format - FIXED

The CLI table now uses /reference/config-model/ (no /docs/ prefix). Correct.

---

3. Double blank line in config-model.md - FIXED

No consecutive blank lines found in the current diff.

---

Verdict: NEEDS FIXES

Two of three issues resolved. The CLI table placement still needs a proper fix - the config model rows must be near configuration-related commands (upgrade, link), not floating between the plugin and export rows.
