- Remove the `goal` field from the TODO state and `plan` operation, as discrete tasks often do not share a single high-level objective. - Unify the JSON tool parameter schema to use `snake_case` (e.g., `active_summary`) to match existing fields like `blocked_by`. - Restrict the `active_summary` parameter exclusively to the `start` operation, where it semantically belongs. - Update agent prompts (`todo.md`, `code_agent.md`) to explicitly forbid batch-starting tasks unless performing genuinely parallel work (e.g., dispatching subagents). - Update all corresponding tool tests to reflect the new state shape and validation logic.
