chore: remove embedded squad (infra + config)#475
Merged
Conversation
Removed dev-setup's own .squad/ directory and all squad-specific: - Deleted .squad/ (entire embedded squad coordination structure) - Deleted .github/agents/squad.agent.md - Deleted 6 squad workflow files (heartbeat, history-check, issue-assign, label-enforce, triage, sync-squad-labels) - Deleted squad-spawn.ps1/.sh and lint-spawn-prompt.ps1/.sh scripts - Deleted squad-cli.ps1/.sh tool installers - Deleted test_squad_spawn.ps1/.sh and test_spawn_prompt_lint.ps1/.sh tests - Deleted 8 copilot skill directories (squad-conventions, cross-squad, personal-squad, worktree-base-refresh, agent-collaboration, agent-conduct, init-mode, cli-wiring) Config and test updates: - Removed squad-cli from .tool-versions (no longer installed) - Removed squad-cli row from README.md tools table - Removed squad runtime .gitignore entries (logs, inbox, sessions, .squad-workstream) - Removed squad .gitattributes merge=union block - Removed SQUAD_WORKTREES env var from .devcontainer/devcontainer.json - Updated pre-commit hook: removed rogue .squad/ path check, staged inbox guard, and history.md size gate (reduced from 7 checks to 4) - Updated test_precommit_hygiene.sh: removed tests for deleted squad checks - Updated validate.yml: removed test_squad_spawn and test_spawn_prompt_lint CI steps - Updated e2e-install.yml: removed squad-cli installation checks - Updated CONTRIBUTING.md: replaced squad-cli with gh in tool version pin examples - Updated README.md: removed squad-cli.sh/.ps1 from repo structure diagram and updated pre-commit hook description Docs narrative rewrite (README/ARCHITECTURE/CONTRIBUTING broad squad sections) deferred to separate PR. Repo label deletion handled separately - not part of this PR. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
ROOT CAUSES FIXED (CI-breaking): - e2e-install.yml: restored Node version gate to proper multi-line bash (backtick-n sequences triggered command substitution) - scripts/linux/setup.sh: removed squad-cli run_tool call - scripts/windows/setup.ps1: removed squad-cli.ps1 dot-source and Install-SquadCli call - tests/test_nvm_bootstrap.sh: removed all squad-cli test cases (T5-T13) - tests/test_windows_setup.ps1: removed Groups G, U, and squad-cli cases from Groups X, DD NON-BREAKING RESIDUE REMOVED: - scripts/windows/tools/profile.ps1: removed Invoke-CopilotSquad and gosquad alias - tests/test_alias_parity.sh: removed Invoke-CopilotSquad from internal function exclusion list - tests/test_precommit_hygiene.sh: updated squad/* branch references to feature/* (tests now generic) - scripts/lib/ascii-sweep.py: changed comment from "Squad status emoji" to "Status emoji" - scripts/sprint-end-labels.sh/.ps1: changed "squad/priority" label comment to "owner/priority" (scripts are GENERAL release tooling, KEPT) - .github/workflows/e2e-install.yml: removed squad CLI assertions - .github/workflows/sprint-end-labels.yml: updated label comment DECISION: sprint-end-labels scripts KEPT. They are general release-label automation tools (remove release:backlog, add release:shipped-X.Y.Z). The "squad" references were only in label-type documentation (type/area/squad/priority) describing general GitHub label categories.

* chore: de-squad mechanical scrub (skills, plans, config, headers)
Removed 8 squad-product skill dirs:
- distributed-mesh, economy-mode, model-selection, nap
- reskill, humanizer, external-comms, session-recovery
Reframed error-recovery skill to neutral agent terminology.
Scrubbed 16 keeper skills for branding:
- git-workflow: updated to feat|fix|chore|docs|refactor/{issue}-{slug} pattern (aligns #476)
- Neutralized cast-name references in git-workflow, changelog-fold-completeness,
windows-compatibility, gh-auth-isolation (e.g., "Mickey" -> "the release process",
"Squad runs on" -> "This project runs on", removed squad repo examples)
Deleted 18 grill-round plan artifacts (441-grill-*.md variants).
Scrubbed 3 keeper plan docs (metadata only):
- 441-profile-path.md, 451-pwsh-parity-gaps.md, 468-customizable-install.md
- Replaced cast-name author/reviewer attributions with "Contributor"/"revision N"
Neutralized branding in config files:
- .gitconfig.template: "whole squad" -> "convenient git shortcuts"
- .mailmap: "Squad agent fake-emails" -> "Local automation identity mappings"
Removed Owner: headers from ~20 script files (comment-only scrub).
Fixed pre-existing non-ASCII in auth.sh and uv.sh (em-dash -> double-dash).
All edits ASCII-only (pre-commit Check 2 enforced).

* docs: de-squad narrative (README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, dotfiles)

legitimate dev-setup facts:
README.md:
- Removed squad roster section, .squad/ directory tree, gosquad alias
- Removed squad-cli from tool list and .tool-versions examples
- Updated branch naming from squad/{issue}-{slug} to feat|fix|chore|docs|refactor/{issue}-{slug}
- Neutralized squad automation references to "automation"

- Removed squad label references from sprint-end-labels documentation
ARCHITECTURE.md:
- Removed Owner attributions (Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, etc.)
- Removed .squad/ directory tree from file structure
- Removed squad-cli from dependency chains and tool tables
- Removed squad automation workflows from file tree
- Removed Squad Roster and Team Ownership Map sections
- Removed squad-cli from tool version pinning list
- Neutralized squad references in hooks/workflows documentation

- Changed "Mickey approval required" to "Approval from a maintainer required"
- Neutralized cast-name references to role titles
- Removed .squad/decisions/inbox/ references from hotfix audit trail
- Removed Squad Operational Gates section
CHANGELOG.md:
- Added new Unreleased entry documenting embedded-squad removal (PR #475, #477)

- Removed .squad/ path references from recent entries
- Removed squad-cli from tool names in recent entries
- Left older historical entries mostly intact per Option C hybrid approach

* fix: restore gosquad dev alias (over-scrubbed in de-squad)
gosquad (copilot --agent squad --yolo) is a personal dev launcher, not
embedded-squad infra. Restore it with bash/zsh + Windows parity and its
doc entries; correct the CHANGELOG to not claim its removal.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(tests): exclude Invoke-CopilotSquad from alias parity check
gosquad alias restored in #478 but its PS wrapper function leaked through
the parity test's function extractor. Add it to the exclusion regex.
