v0.2.5

Added

• Orchestrate parallel fan-out defaults — /orchestrate --parallel now auto-sets --max-parallel to the selected agent count when omitted, reducing accidental single-lane execution
• Parallel worker profile auto-selection — when no worker profile is provided in parallel orchestration, assignments default to meta in write-capable host contexts for stronger orchestration behavior
• Delegate hint propagation for orchestrate assignments — assignment generation now injects delegate_parallel_hint guidance to drive nested delegate fan-out inside child tasks
• Swarm dispatch timeout controls — scheduler now supports bounded dispatch timeouts (including IOSM_SWARM_DISPATCH_TIMEOUT_MS) to avoid silent long stalls
• Interactive swarm progress surfaces — improved live subagent task/delegate progress rendering and swarm-aware footer busy state in TUI

Changed

• Task profile defaulting — task tool now defaults missing profile to current host profile (fallback full) instead of always forcing full
• Delegation depth baseline — max delegation depth default increased to 2 for better nested decomposition capacity
• Shared memory read behavior — shared_memory_read now returns metadata-only by default (include_values=false) with safe value preview details when requested
• Swarm planning fan-out quality — planner now prioritizes code-relevant touches and partitions work into multiple workstreams more aggressively for parallel execution
• Singular run id generation — /singular run ids now include milliseconds and random suffix for collision-resistant rapid runs

Fixed

• Dependent-task dead-end behavior — scheduler now marks downstream tasks as blocked when dependencies fail, preventing ambiguous pending states
• Status update loss under file lock contention — team task status writes now queue and retry asynchronously instead of being dropped during temporary lock conflicts
• Steering skip false errors — parallel task agent no longer marks steering-driven tool skips as execution errors
• Swarm-from-singular startup guard — execution now fails fast with a clear warning if no active model is configured
• Strict delegation in orchestrated contexts — nested delegation contract now also applies in run/task orchestrated contexts when delegate hints indicate required fan-out

Documentation

• Updated README to v0.2.5 and added a focused "What's New in v0.2.5" section
• Expanded orchestration docs (interactive-mode, cli-reference, orchestration-and-subagents) with /orchestrate parallel defaults and delegation guidance
