From 9658c66ebaf762d3b0fb3e34b939f5cc62e2995c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: GuoxunPan Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 16:19:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix(config): make DEFAULT_PROMPT_TEMPLATE a full lifecycle workflow prompt MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The built-in default prompt was a 6-line stub: it stated the issue identifier/title/body and nothing else — no tracker state transitions, no tracker access, no commit/push/PR steps, no completion bar. Both control-plane-generated WORKFLOW.md files (project-setup embeds this default) and the runtime fallback in workflowPrompt() therefore produced agents that could not drive Cognit Flow's own issue lifecycle: cards never left their active state, so the orchestrator re-dispatched them indefinitely. Replace it with a project-agnostic full-lifecycle prompt: route-by-state, workpad comment protocol, tracker access (linear_graphql tool or LINEAR_API_KEY), hosted-upstream git topology, implement/publish steps, Merging/Rework flows, completion bar, and blocker escape hatch. No hardcoded project/repo/port specifics. Verified: tsc --noEmit clean; prompt-builder tests pass; the template renders under the strict Liquid config (strictVariables/strictFilters) for both attempt and no-attempt branches.
