Summary

Previously used minimax/MiniMax-M2.5 which burned ~50K tokens per 5-minute run. Switch to ollama-forge/llama3:latest (local, free) and reduced timeout from 120s to 60s.

Also optimized the prompt to be ultra-minimal, reducing token usage further. The prompt now fits in a single line instead of 15+.

Changes

  • Changed MEDIC_MODEL from minimax/MiniMax-M2.5 to ollama-forge/llama3:latest
  • Reduced MEDIC_TIMEOUT_SECONDS from 120 to 60
  • Simplified buildMedicPrompt() from 15 lines to 3 lines

Testing

  • Build: ✓
  • Tests: 162/162 passed
  • Typecheck: ✓

Impact

Should reduce medic token usage from ~50K per run to ~0 (local model). This addresses issue #222.

Add dryRunWorkflow() function that:
- Validates workflow YAML via loadWorkflowSpec()
- Builds execution context with placeholder values
- Resolves all step input templates using resolveTemplate()
- Prints execution plan showing all steps with agent assignments
- Returns without creating DB entries or spawning crons

Update CLI to call dryRunWorkflow when --dry-run flag is passed to
'workflow run' command.

Tested with coding-sprint and bug-fix workflows.
- Add safety reset in claimStep: if step is running but has no current_story_id, reset to pending
- Add current_story.* context keys for template usage
- Set defaults for reviewer template keys (commit, test_result)
- Add logging to checkLoopContinuation for debugging
- Update all workflow YAMLs from 'default' to 'minimax/MiniMax-M2.5'
- Add memory access to developer/planner/reviewer/tester agents
- Add new prospector workflows: eps-prospector, local-prospector, job-scout, gran-concepcion-prospector

Addresses: snarktank#272 (story loop stuck), snarktank#266 (stall after Story 1)

The workflow YAMLs were updated to use 'minimax/MiniMax-M2.5' instead
of 'default' (commit 021244b), but the tests still expected 'default'.
This caused 4 test failures in the polling configuration tests.

Updated test expectations in:
- tests/bug-fix-polling.test.ts
- tests/feature-dev-polling.test.ts
- tests/security-audit-polling.test.ts
- tests/polling-timeout-sync.test.ts

- Added 'test' script to run Node.js built-in test runner
- Added 'typecheck' script for TypeScript type checking
- Enables npm test && npm run typecheck for CI/CD

The developer agent was exiting sessions without calling 'antfarm step
complete', causing steps to get stuck in 'running' state for 30+ minutes
until Medic reset them.

This fix adds explicit, highlighted instructions to the developer's
AGENTS.md emphasizing that:
1. step complete MUST be called after finishing work
2. Provides the exact command syntax to use
3. Explains that a fresh session will handle the next story

Fixes: snarktank#272
- Use minimax/MiniMax-M2.5 instead of 'default' model
- Simplify prompt to reduce token usage
- Make HEARTBEAT_OK response more explicit
