# BRIEFING — 2026-06-30T15:21:41+05:30

## Mission
Design and implement a comprehensive, opaque-box, requirement-driven E2E test suite for Ace Git Copilot.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: orchestrator
- Roles: orchestrator, user_liaison, human_reporter, successor
- Working directory: d:\Projects\Ace\.agents\e2e_testing_track\
- Original parent: main agent
- Original parent conversation ID: 0dd9d0e8-c391-4ea8-819e-6ca3f6689294

## 🔒 My Workflow
- **Pattern**: Project (E2E Testing Track)
- **Scope document**: d:\Projects\Ace\.agents\e2e_testing_track\SCOPE.md
1. **Decompose**: Decompose the E2E test cases by feature area across Tiers 1-4.
2. **Dispatch & Execute**:
   - **Delegate (sub-orchestrator)**: If needed, decompose further.
   - **Direct (iteration loop)**: Spawn Explorer -> Worker -> Reviewer -> Challenger -> Auditor to design test infra, generate tests, verify, and run.
3. **On failure** (in this order):
   - Retry: nudge stuck agent or re-send task
   - Replace: spawn fresh agent with partial progress
   - Skip: proceed without (only if non-critical)
   - Redistribute: split stuck agent's remaining work
   - Redesign: re-partition decomposition
   - Escalate: report to parent (sub-orchestrators only, last resort)
4. **Succession**: Spawn successor after 16 spawns.
- **Work items**:
  1. Explore current codebase and requirements [done]
  2. Define E2E Test Case Design in SCOPE.md [done]
  3. Implement Test Infra & Mock Server [in-progress]
  4. Implement Tier 1-4 Test Cases [pending]
  5. Verify and publish TEST_INFRA.md and TEST_READY.md [pending]
- **Current phase**: 2
- **Current focus**: Implement Test Infra & Mock Server

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Opaque-box, requirement-driven E2E tests only. No implementation dependencies.
- Never write, modify, or create source code files directly.
- Never run build/test commands yourself — require workers to do so.
- Never reuse a subagent after it has delivered its handoff — always spawn fresh.

## Current Parent
- Conversation ID: 0dd9d0e8-c391-4ea8-819e-6ca3f6689294
- Updated: not yet

## Key Decisions Made
