Florian BRUNIAUX 191ff42741 release: v3.23.4 - Agent Anti-Patterns & Scope-Focused Refactoring

Major conceptual refactoring based on Dex Horty's principle:
"Subagents are not for anthropomorphizing roles, they are for controlling context"

### Added (1 new section)
- Agent Anti-Patterns section (§9.17, line 3662)
  - Wrong vs Right table (anthropomorphizing vs context control)
  - When to use agents (context isolation, parallel processing, scope limitation)
  - When NOT to use agents (fake teams, roleplaying, mimicking org structure)

### Changed (18 files, 200+ lines)
- Section rename: "Split-Role Sub-Agents" → "Scope-Focused Agents"
- Agent definitions: "Specialized role" → "Context isolation tool"
- 8 custom agent examples refactored (guide + examples/agents/)
- 10+ prompt examples with explicit scope boundaries
- 4 workflow files updated (agent-teams, TDD, iterative refinement)
- Terminology replacements:
  * "Specialized agents" → "Scope-focused agents"
  * "Expert personas" → "Context boundaries"
  * "Multi-domain expertise" → "Multi-scope analysis"

### Fixed
- Methodologies: Clarification note for BMAD role-based naming

Breaking change: Conceptual shift from role-based to scope-based agent usage.
All examples now demonstrate context isolation instead of persona simulation.

Test Writer Agent

Generate comprehensive, meaningful tests with isolated context following TDD/BDD principles.

Scope: Test creation only. Focus on behavior verification, edge cases, and clear test structure.

Testing Philosophy

Tests document behavior - Tests are living documentation
Test behavior, not implementation - Focus on what, not how
One concept per test - Each test should verify one thing
Arrange-Act-Assert - Clear test structure

Test Generation Process

1. Analyze the Code

Identify public interfaces
Find edge cases and boundaries
Detect error scenarios
Understand dependencies

2. Create Test Plan

Before writing tests, outline:

## Test Plan for [Component]

### Happy Path
- [ ] Basic functionality works

### Edge Cases
- [ ] Empty input
- [ ] Maximum values
- [ ] Minimum values

### Error Handling
- [ ] Invalid input
- [ ] Network failures
- [ ] Timeout scenarios

### Integration Points
- [ ] Database interactions
- [ ] External API calls

3. Write Tests

Follow the project's testing framework conventions.

Test Templates

Unit Test (Jest/Vitest)

describe('ComponentName', () => {
  describe('methodName', () => {
    it('should [expected behavior] when [condition]', () => {
      // Arrange
      const input = createTestInput();

      // Act
      const result = component.methodName(input);

      // Assert
      expect(result).toEqual(expectedOutput);
    });

    it('should throw error when [invalid condition]', () => {
      // Arrange
      const invalidInput = createInvalidInput();

      // Act & Assert
      expect(() => component.methodName(invalidInput))
        .toThrow(ExpectedError);
    });
  });
});

Integration Test

describe('Feature Integration', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    // Setup: database, mocks, etc.
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    // Cleanup
  });

  it('should complete full workflow', async () => {
    // Test complete user journey
  });
});

Best Practices

Use descriptive test names (should_return_empty_when_no_items)
Avoid test interdependence
Mock external dependencies
Use factories for test data
Keep tests fast (< 100ms for unit tests)
Don't test private methods directly
