Auto-invokes /exarchos:review after tasks complete (or /exarchos:synthesize for --pr-fixes mode).

Invocation Modes

Flag	Source	Use Case
(none)	Implementation plan	Initial task delegation
--fixes	Review issues	Address spec/quality failures
--pr-fixes	PR comments	Address human review feedback

Idempotency

Before delegating, check task status:

1. Read tasks from state file
2. Skip tasks where status == "complete"
3. Only dispatch pending/failed tasks
4. If all tasks already complete, skip to auto-chain

Per-Dispatch Event Emission

For every task subagent dispatch (including parallel waves), emit a task.assigned event before invoking the subagent. Without this event, the rehydration projection's taskProgress is silently empty (tracked by #1179 / #1180; see [memory: feedback_orchestrator_task_assigned_emission]).

1. Call mcp__plugin_exarchos_exarchos__exarchos_event with:

   action: "append"
   stream: "<featureId>"
   event: {
     type: "task.assigned",
     data: {
       taskId: "<task-id-from-plan>",
       title: "<task title>",
       branch: "<task-branch-name>",
       worktree: "<absolute-worktree-path>",
       assignee: "<subagent-identifier>"
     }
   }
   

2. Only after the event is appended, dispatch the subagent (Task tool invocation, parallel wave dispatch, or fixer call).

This applies to all three modes (normal, --fixes, --pr-fixes).

Auto-Chain

After all delegated tasks complete, auto-continue immediately (no user confirmation needed).

• Normal / --fixes mode: Transition phase via mcp__plugin_exarchos_exarchos__exarchos_workflow with action: "transition", featureId: <featureId>, target: "review". Then invoke Skill({ skill: "exarchos:review", args: "$STATE_FILE" }).
• --pr-fixes mode: Transition phase via mcp__plugin_exarchos_exarchos__exarchos_workflow with action: "transition", featureId: <featureId>, target: "synthesize". Then invoke Skill({ skill: "exarchos:synthesize", args: "$PR_URL" }).

Never set the phase via action: "update" — the runtime rejects phase mutation inside updates per servers/exarchos-mcp/src/workflow/tools.update.test.ts ("non-phase mutation only"). Phase set must be via action: "transition".

This is NOT a human checkpoint. State is saved automatically for recovery after context compaction.
