LaunchInput.temperature and LaunchInput.permission were accepted and
passed through the council orchestrator but never forwarded to the
actual promptAsync API call (SDK doesn't support per-request temperature
or permission). Remove the dead fields, the unused AthenaConfig
interface, and update tests/docs/schema accordingly.
Remove 9 files (913 lines) from the code-driven synthesis pipeline that
was superseded by the agent-driven approach in phases 6-8.
Phases 3/5 built: collectCouncilResults → formatForSynthesis →
buildSynthesisPrompt → formatFindingsForUser → buildDelegationPrompt.
Phases 6-8 replaced with: launch → background_output → Athena
synthesizes in conversation → switch_agent. The old pipeline was
never wired into runtime and all consumers were other dead code.
Also simplifies executeCouncil to return CouncilLaunchResult (task IDs
+ failures) instead of reading stale task status via collectCouncilResults.
Deleted: council-result-collector, synthesis-types, synthesis-prompt,
synthesis-formatter, findings-presenter, delegation-prompts (+ 4 tests).
Cleaned: CouncilMemberStatus, AgreementLevel, CouncilMemberResponse,
CouncilExecutionResult types from types.ts.
- Forward temperature and permission through council-launcher to background manager
- Add LaunchInput.temperature and LaunchInput.permission to background-agent types
- Extract session guard with 5-minute timeout to prevent stale council locks
- Make council optional in AthenaOverrideConfigSchema for partial user overrides
- Support member lookup by both name and model ID in filterCouncilMembers
- Add provider/model-id format validation to CouncilMemberSchema
- Fix findings-presenter group header to show finding count instead of first finding's reporter count
- add optional members arg support to athena_council tool
- filter selected members case-insensitively with clear unknown-member errors
- add tests for default-all and member selection behavior
Council members launched as agent='athena' got Athena's system prompt saying
'ALWAYS call athena_council first', plus the tool wasn't denied for bg athena
tasks. Each council member spawned 4 more → exponential explosion (47+ tasks).
Three fixes:
1. Deny athena_council in ATHENA_RESTRICTIONS (agent-tool-restrictions.ts)
- Only affects background athena tasks (task-starter.ts)
- Primary Athena (user-selected) still has access via permission field
2. Session-level dedup guard prevents re-calling while council is running
- If Athena retries during long wait, returns 'already running'
3. Increase wait timeout from 2min to 10min (council members need time
for real code analysis with Read/Grep/LSP)
