Uncommitted work from the session-robustness-and-dox branch sweep
(docs/qa/QA-session-robustness-and-dox.md), verified alongside the
compression/context fixes:
- SandboxedToolExecutor: validate tool args centrally before dispatch. A
malformed/missing-arg call becomes a recoverable ERROR: (surfaced with the
tool's arg schema so the model can correct + retry) instead of stranding
the stage with no artifact. + validation test.
- PlanLinter: seed artifacts (analysis) produced by the planning phase count
as available producers, so a plan stage that `needs` them isn't flagged as
an unproduced-need; H1 unproduced-needs + trap-state checks. + tests.
- DefaultSessionOrchestrator: live-QA robustness fixes (event-tail /
per-stage budget + retry handling).
- workflow prompts/configs: DOX AGENTS.md alignment + freestyle/task/role
prompt tweaks.
- SessionOrchestratorIntegrationTest: coverage for the above.
- FreestylePlanningWorkflowTest: allow list_dir in analyst tools (follows the
list_dir wiring in 968cbfa).
- QA plan doc for the branch sweep.
The freestyle analyst can now break a large goal with dependency seams or
independent review/handoff points into a parent epic + DEPENDS_ON-linked children
in a single T2 approval, instead of N separate task_create calls. Parent
DEPENDS_ON every child (completes last); each child IMPLEMENTS parent. Resolves
depends_on by ref or index; rejects cycles, unresolved refs, missing title/goal,
and empty batches; same batch dedup + force_reason convention as task_create.
A session works one active task, so multi-task work is multi-session by
construction: the analyst names the single ready task this run works, the architect
threads only that one, and siblings are claimed by later runs via task_ready
(claim-driven; no scheduler, /tasks/next stays rejected).
Doctrine: analyst_freestyle.md picks one-task-vs-decompose and names the ready
task; architect_freestyle.md threads only that one; plus the L0 policy line.
freestyle_planning.toml analyst gains task_decompose (pinned by
FreestylePlanningWorkflowTest).

Two coupled gaps from tracing a real run:
1. Freestyle implements in phase 2 via stages compiled from the architect's
execution_plan (ExecutionPlanCompiler sets allowedTools = stage.tools), so the
static allow-lists never reach it and architect_freestyle.md banned every tool
but the file four. Teach the architect to thread an analysis-referenced task
through the plan: implementing stages get task_context/task_update and claim +
submit_for_review; the final/review stage completes it. No task referenced → no
task tools, and the plan never creates one.
2. Give the analyst task_create so the work is framed as a tracked item up front
(role_pipeline + freestyle). "Read-only" for the analyst means it writes no
files; a task is an event-log entry, not a file write — task_create is T2, so
opening one is approval-gated. The analyst names the new id in the analysis so
the implementer claims it and the reviewer completes it; the implementer now
creates only as a fallback.

Extend the role_pipeline wiring to the other workflows that act on a code work
item, matching each stage's tier:
- freestyle_planning: analyst (read-only) gets task_search/task_context to find
related work and ground the analysis; prompt updated to match.
- review_loop: implement gets the full set (claim, submit_for_review, notes),
review gets task_context/task_update to complete on an approved verdict. Its
prompt files don't ship, so the doctrine rides the L0 policy + tool descriptions.
Left untouched: research (external-research flow producing a report, not a code
work item), qa_ping (smoke test), and healthcheck (diagnostic) — none track work.

Replace the inline "Q:"-prefixed-summary convention with a structured
`questions` array of {prompt, options?, multiSelect?, header?} objects that
rides in the analysis artifact (allowed by additionalProperties:true, skipped
by JsonSchemaValidator). The kernel parses it to drive the producer-exit
clarification loop; the TUI renders it as an interactive form.
