fix: prevent orchestrator context overflow from TaskOutput polling#187
Conversation
Subagent orchestration instructions were telling Claude to poll or wait for subagent results using TaskOutput/AgentOutputTool, which dumps the subagent's entire working context into the orchestrator's context window. Updated commands/tasks.md, commands/spotless.md, and templates/tasks-template.md to instruct the orchestrator to post a status message and STOP, letting the notification system wake it when subagents complete.
