This Pull Request introduces Directory Abstraction to the Conductor extension, fundamentally decoupling the agent from hardcoded file paths. This is achieved through the introduction of index.md manifest files and a centralized Universal File Resolution Protocol.

🚀 Key Changes

  • Directory Manifests (index.md):
    • Introduced a root conductor/index.md for project-level context.
    • Introduced track-level /<track_id>/index.md for track-specific artifacts.
  • Universal File Resolution Protocol:
    • Centralized file-finding logic in the system context.
    • Implemented a prioritized lookup: Index Mapping ➔ Standard Defaults ➔ Verification.
  • Command Refactoring:
    • Updated implement, revert, status, and newTrack to resolve paths dynamically.
    • Removed hardcoded path "hints" from command prompts to enforce protocol strictness.
  • Automated Scaffolding:
    • Updated /conductor:setup and /conductor:newTrack to automatically generate compliant index files.

What if we rename tracks directory in the future? Can we incorporate folders in the conductor/index.md?

You've pointed out a good observation, and yes, I think we should include folders in index files. The commit caeb814 solves that.

Updates GEMINI.md with the resolution protocol and refactors all commands (implement, revert, status, newTrack) to resolve file paths dynamically via index.md, removing hardcoded defaults.

lgtm! comments can be addressed in future versions.


4. **Fallback:** If the index file is missing or the link is absent, use the **Default Path** keys below.

5. **Verify:** You MUST verify the resolved file actually exists on the disk.

maybe we can provide an the command for the llm, ie find conductor?

- Before beginning any work, you MUST update the status of the selected track in the `conductor/tracks.md` file.
- This requires finding the specific heading for the track (e.g., `## [ ] Track: <Description>`) and replacing it with the updated status (e.g., `## [~] Track: <Description>`).
- Before beginning any work, you MUST update the status of the selected track in the **Tracks Registry** file.
- This requires finding the specific heading for the track (e.g., `## [ ] Track: <Description>`) and replacing it with the updated status (e.g., `## [~] Track: <Description>`) in the **Tracks Registry** file you identified earlier.

perhaps this is what sherzat is implying, but we should have a written registry of these files and refer to that, rather than assuming the correct file is saved in llm context
