tegwick fa2b6ff698 Add create-workstream: MCP tool, CLI commands, dashboard hint
MCP server: add create_workstream(topic_id, title, slug?, owner?,
  description?, due_date?) — auto-generates slug from title if omitted;
  emits workstream_created progress event. Now 12 tools total.

CLI: add two new subcommands —
  custodian create-workstream --domain DOMAIN --title TITLE [--slug] [--owner] [--description]
  custodian create-task --workstream ID_OR_SLUG --title TITLE [--priority] [--assignee]
  create-task accepts workstream UUID or slug (resolves via API).

Dashboard: hint box below "Open Workstreams by Domain" chart listing
  registered domains that have zero workstreams, with the exact
  custodian create-workstream command to run.

TOOLS.md: updated tool count (11 → 12) and added create_workstream row.

get_state_summary() Session start. Full snapshot: totals, blocking decisions, blocked tasks, open workstreams, last 20 events.
get_topic(slug) slug: e.g. "markitect" Deep-dive on one topic + its workstreams + recent events.
list_blocked_tasks(workstream_id?) optional filter Surface all impediments, optionally scoped to one workstream.
list_pending_decisions(topic_id?) optional filter Decisions holding up work, sorted by deadline.
get_recent_progress(limit, since?) limit default 20; since ISO datetime Reconstruct recent session history.

Mutate Tools (each auto-emits a progress_event)

Tool Key Args Notes
create_workstream(topic_id, title, ...) slug? (auto-generated); owner?; description?; due_date? Creates workstream under a topic. Use get_state_summary() to find topic IDs.
create_task(workstream_id, title, ...) priority: low/medium/high/critical; assignee?; due_date? Creates task under a workstream.
update_task_status(task_id, status, ...) status: todo/in_progress/blocked/done/cancelled; blocking_reason required when blocked
record_decision(title, ...) decision_type: made/pending; topic_id?; workstream_id?; deadline? Financial/legal + pending → auto-escalated per constitution §4. At least one of topic_id/workstream_id required.
resolve_decision(decision_id, rationale, decided_by) all required Marks decision resolved and records who decided.
add_progress_event(summary, ...) event_type: note/milestone/blocker/insight; topic_id?; workstream_id?; task_id?; detail? Append-only log entry. Use at session end.
update_workstream_status(workstream_id, status) status: active/blocked/completed/archived

Common Patterns

# New workstream:
create_workstream(topic_id="<uuid>", title="My Workstream", owner="me")

# New task:
create_task(workstream_id="<uuid>", title="Do the thing", priority="high")

# Session start ritual:
get_state_summary()

# Session end ritual:
add_progress_event(
    summary="...",
    event_type="note",          # or milestone / insight / blocker
    topic_id="<uuid>",
    workstream_id="<uuid>",     # optional
    detail={"key": "value"},    # optional structured data
)
