v2.2.0 — Universal Workflow Pattern

[DariuszNewecki]

🎯 Universal Workflow Pattern — The Operating System

This release establishes the foundational architecture for autonomous operations at scale. CORE now has a universal orchestration model that closes all loops, enables self-correction everywhere, and provides the substrate for fully autonomous conversational operation.

Philosophy Shift

Before 2.2.0: Collection of autonomous capabilities with ad-hoc orchestration
After 2.2.0: Universal workflow pattern that composes all operations

What Changed

Universal Workflow Pattern — Every autonomous operation follows:

INTERPRET → ANALYZE → STRATEGIZE → GENERATE → EVALUATE → DECIDE

Component Architecture — 40+ components organized by constitutional phase:

• Interpreters (INTERPRET) - Parse intent
• Analyzers (PARSE) - Extract facts
• Evaluators (AUDIT) - Assess quality
• Strategists (RUNTIME) - Make decisions
• Orchestrators (RUNTIME) - Compose workflows

Self-Correcting Loops — Pattern-based adaptation:

• "Did result improved?" - Relative quality
• "SOLVED?" - Multi-dimensional gate
• "Continue trying?" - Holistic termination

What This Enables

✅ Now: Universal pattern for all autonomous operations
🔄 Soon (Q1 2026): Full core CLI conversational autonomy
🎯 Future: A3 Strategic Refactoring, Web/API interfaces

Migration Status

• Foundation documented (3 papers)
• Pattern compliance: ~12% complete
• 2 commands using pattern (clarity, test generation)
• 11 commands pending migration

Full details: See CHANGELOG.md

The workflow closes all loops — that's why this release is foundational.
