* enhancement(#558): add liveness hints to all GSD spawn announcements Append '(runs in a subagent — no output until it returns, ~1–5 min; expected, not a freeze)' inline to every ◆ Spawning… banner and subagent dispatch instruction across 26 workflows. Silent subagents look identical to frozen sessions — this note sets the expectation so users wait instead of killing healthy in-progress work. Changes: - references/ui-brand.md: document liveness convention under Spawning Indicators - 10 banner workflows: append liveness note to ◆ Spawning… lines in-place - 18 subagent-only workflows: add print instruction with liveness phrase - tests/spawn-liveness-banner.test.cjs: new test; fails if any workflow with subagent_type omits 'runs in a subagent' - docs/USER-GUIDE.md: troubleshooting entry for frozen-looking spawns - .changeset/558-spawn-liveness-banner.md: changeset fragment Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#558): add missing pr field to changeset fragment The changeset lint requires pr: <NNN> in frontmatter; the fragment was written without it, causing parse.cjs to reject it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#558): address codex review — missed spawns and tighten test - plan-phase.md: add liveness note to chunked outline planner and per-plan chunked planner banners (two missed ◆ Spawning… lines) - quick.md: add liveness note to research banner and add missing display line before planner spawn in Step 5 - plan-review-convergence.md: add liveness note to initial planning and review-agent spawn Display lines - docs-update.md: add Print instructions with liveness note before gsd-doc-verifier spawns in Phase 1 and Phase 2 - autonomous.md: add Print instruction with liveness note before background plan-phase agent dispatch in step 3b - tests/spawn-liveness-banner.test.cjs: replace single file-level check with two assertions: (1) every ◆ Spawning… banner line carries the phrase on that line (2) every file with subagent_type contains the phrase somewhere The tighter test would have caught all five missed spawns. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#558): tighten spawn-liveness test regex to catch spawn-word-anywhere variants Previous SPAWN_BANNER_RE only matched ◆ immediately followed by Spawning|spawning. Replace with /◆[^\n]*\bspawning?\b/i which matches the spawn word anywhere on the ◆ line — catching "◆ Chunked mode: spawning outline planner..." and similar. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#558): rename changeset to PR number 566 and correct pr field Changeset was filed as 558-spawn-liveness-banner.md (issue#) but the convention is the PR number. Renamed to 566-spawn-liveness-banner.md and updated pr: 558 → pr: 566 so release notes link to the right PR.
