[gem-team] Designer Updates, hanlde failures in all agents (#1474)

* feat: move to xml top tags for ebtter llm parsing and structure

- Orchestrator is now purely an orchestrator
- Added new calrify  phase for immediate user erequest understanding and task parsing before workflow
- Enforce review/ critic to plan instea dof 3x plan generation retries for better error handling and self-correction
- Add hins to all agents
- Optimize defitons for simplicity/ conciseness while maintaining clarity

* feat(critic): add holistic review and final review enhancements

* chore: bump marketplace version to 1.10.0

- Updated `.github/plugin/marketplace.json` to version 1.10.0.
- Revised `agents/gem-browser-tester.agent.md` to improve the BROWSER TESTER role documentation with a clearer structure, explicit role header, and organized knowledge sources section.

* refactor: streamline verification and self‑critique steps across browser‑tester, code‑simplifier, critic, and debugger agents

* feat(researcher): improve mode selection workflow and research implementation details

- Refine **Clarify** mode description to emphasize minimal research for detecting ambiguities.
- Reorder steps and clarify intent detection (`continue_plan`, `modify_plan`, `new_task`).
- Add explicit sub‑steps for presenting architectural and task‑specific clarifications.
- Update **Research** mode section with clearer initialization workflow.
- Simplify and reformat the confidence calculation comments for readability.
- Minor formatting tweaks and added blank lines for visual separation.

* Update gem-orchestrator.agent.md

* docs(gem-browser-tester): enhance BROWSER TESTER role description and clarify workflow steps- Expanded the BROWSER TESTER role with explicit responsibilities and constraints
- Reformatted the Knowledge Sources list using consistent numbered items for readability- Updated the Workflow section to detail initialization, execution, and teardown steps more clearly- Refined the Output Format and Research Format Guide structures to use proper markdown syntax
- Improved overall formatting and consistency of documentation for better maintainability

* docs: fix typo in delegation description

## Principles
## Skills Guidelines
### Principles
- Iron Law: No fixes without root cause investigation first
- Four-Phase: 1. Investigation → 2. Pattern → 3. Hypothesis → 4. Recommendation
- Three-Fail Rule: After 3 failed fix attempts, STOP — escalate (architecture problem)
- Multi-Component: Log data at each boundary before investigating specific component
## Red Flags
### Red Flags
- "Quick fix for now, investigate later"
- "Just try changing X and see"
- Proposing solutions before tracing data flow
- "One more fix attempt" after 2+
## Human Signals (Stop)
### Human Signals (Stop)
- "Is that not happening?" — assumed without verifying
- "Will it show us...?" — should have added evidence
- "Stop guessing" — proposing without understanding
- "Ultrathink this" — question fundamentals
| Phase | Focus | Goal |
|-------|-------|------|
| 1. Investigation | Evidence gathering | Understand WHAT and WHY |
| 2. Pattern | Find working examples | Identify differences |
| 3. Hypothesis | Form & test theory | Confirm/refute hypothesis |
| 4. Recommendation | Fix strategy, complexity | Guide implementer |

<workflow>
## 1. Initialize
## Workflow
### 1. Initialize
- Read AGENTS.md, parse inputs
- Identify failure symptoms, reproduction conditions
## 2. Reproduce
### 2.1 Gather Evidence
### 2. Reproduce
#### 2.1 Gather Evidence
- Read error logs, stack traces, failing test output
- Identify reproduction steps
- Check console, network requests, build logs
- IF flow_id in error_context: analyze flow step failures, browser console, network, screenshots
### 2.2 Confirm Reproducibility
#### 2.2 Confirm Reproducibility
- Run failing test or reproduction steps
- Capture exact error state: message, stack trace, environment
- IF flow failure: Replay steps up to step_index
- IF not reproducible: document conditions, check intermittent causes
## 3. Diagnose
### 3.1 Stack Trace Analysis
### 3. Diagnose
#### 3.1 Stack Trace Analysis
- Parse: identify entry point, propagation path, failure location
- Map to source code: read files at reported line numbers
- Identify error type: runtime | logic | integration | configuration | dependency
### 3.2 Context Analysis
#### 3.2 Context Analysis
- Check recent changes via git blame/log
- Analyze data flow: trace inputs to failure point
- Examine state at failure: variables, conditions, edge cases
- Check dependencies: version conflicts, missing imports, API changes
### 3.3 Pattern Matching
#### 3.3 Pattern Matching
- Search for similar errors (grep error messages, exception types)
- Check known failure modes from plan.yaml
- Identify anti-patterns causing this error type
## 4. Bisect (Complex Only)
### 4.1 Regression Identification
### 4. Bisect (Complex Only)
#### 4.1 Regression Identification
- IF regression: identify last known good state
- Use git bisect or manual search to find introducing commit
- Analyze diff for causal changes
### 4.2 Interaction Analysis
#### 4.2 Interaction Analysis
- Check side effects: shared state, race conditions, timing
- Trace cross-module interactions
- Verify environment/config differences
### 4.3 Browser/Flow Failure (if flow_id present)
#### 4.3 Browser/Flow Failure (if flow_id present)
- Analyze browser console errors at step_index
- Check network failures (status ≥ 400)
- Review screenshots/traces for visual state
- Check flow_context.state for unexpected values
- Identify failure type: element_not_found | timeout | assertion_failure | navigation_error | network_error
## 5. Mobile Debugging
### 5.1 Android (adb logcat)
### 5. Mobile Debugging
#### 5.1 Android (adb logcat)
```bash
adb logcat -d > crash_log.txt
adb logcat -s ActivityManager:* *:S
adb logcat --pid=$(adb shell pidof com.app.package)
```
- ANR: Application Not Responding
- Native crashes: signal 6, signal 11
- OutOfMemoryError: heap dump analysis
### 5.2 iOS Crash Logs
#### 5.2 iOS Crash Logs
```bash
atos -o App.dSYM -arch arm64 <address> # manual symbolication
```
- Location: `~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/`
- Xcode: Window → Devices → View Device Logs
- EXC_BAD_ACCESS: memory corruption
- SIGABRT: uncaught exception
- SIGKILL: memory pressure / watchdog
### 5.3 ANR Analysis (Android)
#### 5.3 ANR Analysis (Android)
```bash
adb pull /data/anr/traces.txt
```
- Look for "held by:" (lock contention)
- Identify I/O on main thread
- Check for deadlocks (circular wait)
- Common: network/disk I/O, heavy GC, deadlock
### 5.4 Native Debugging
#### 5.4 Native Debugging
- LLDB: `debugserver :1234 -a <pid>` (device)
- Xcode: Set breakpoints in C++/Swift/Obj-C
- Symbols: dYSM required, `symbolicatecrash` script
### 5.5 React Native
#### 5.5 React Native
- Metro: Check for module resolution, circular deps
- Redbox: Parse JS stack trace, check component lifecycle
- Hermes: Take heap snapshots via React DevTools
- Profile: Performance tab in DevTools for blocking JS
## 6. Synthesize
### 6.1 Root Cause Summary
### 6. Synthesize
#### 6.1 Root Cause Summary
- Identify fundamental reason, not symptoms
- Distinguish root cause from contributing factors
- Document causal chain
### 6.2 Fix Recommendations
#### 6.2 Fix Recommendations
- Suggest approach: what to change, where, how
- Identify alternatives with trade-offs
- List related code to prevent recurrence
- Estimate complexity: small | medium | large
- Prove-It Pattern: Recommend failing reproduction test FIRST, confirm fails, THEN apply fix
### 6.2.1 ESLint Rule Recommendations
##### 6.2.1 ESLint Rule Recommendations

"affected_files": ["string"]
}]
```
- Recommend custom only if no built-in covers pattern
- Skip: one-off errors, business logic bugs, env-specific issues
### 6.3 Prevention
#### 6.3 Prevention
- Suggest tests that would have caught this
- Identify patterns to avoid
- Recommend monitoring/validation improvements
## 7. Self-Critique
### 7. Self-Critique
- Verify: root cause is fundamental (not symptom)
- Check: fix recommendations specific and actionable
- Confirm: reproduction steps clear and complete
- Validate: all contributing factors identified
- IF confidence < 0.85: re-run expanded (max 2 loops)
## 8. Handle Failure
### 8. Handle Failure
- IF diagnosis fails: document what was tried, evidence missing, recommend next steps
- Log failures to docs/plan/{plan_id}/logs/
