**What changed** - add the initial `docs/agents/` structure for Spindle's emergent agent system - define six tailored persona notes for Franklin, Edward, Jullian, Kyle, Tristan, and Nicholas - add starter prompts, an architecture note, a memory template, and seeded memory files for safe re-orientation **Why** - adapt the earlier UDFTools agent-documentation pattern to Spindle's Rust, Tauri, and React desktop workflow - preserve lightweight runbooks, structural memory, and Minimum Viable Handoffs without copying the older materials verbatim - give future agent passes a shared, repository-local starting point that reflects Spindle's product and studio culture
**What changed** - deepen reciprocity across the six persona files so key pairings read as mutual working loops - extend Edward's warmth across the room and let the other personas carry traces of one another's influence - strengthen the studio-culture sections so the team reads more like a lived-in collaboration than adjacent specialist profiles **Why** - make the agent infrastructure reflect healthier team dynamics rather than one-way correction patterns - help future prompts and persona-guided work feel like they come from an actual team with shared culture - improve the realism and usefulness of the persona docs without blurring each persona's distinct role

**What changed** - apply the repository's markdown formatting rules to `docs/spindle-persona-map.md` - normalise list markers and whitespace so the file passes the workspace Prettier check **Why** - fix the failing `JS format` pull-request check - keep the persona map aligned with the repository's automated documentation formatting expectations
**What:** - add `docs/agents/shared/` with broadcast context and per-agent handoff inboxes - document the filesystem-based communication protocol for inbox and context flows - initialise the current sprint broadcast and record the shared layer in Franklin's memory - ignore dynamic handoff traffic while keeping the inbox structure tracked with `.gitkeep` **Why:** - keep inter-agent coordination inspectable and durable inside the repository - reduce handoff friction by giving every persona a stable shared operating surface - preserve the communication structure in git without committing transient messages
**What:** - extend Edward's memory with durable subtitle, navigation, and validation notes - record the current bitmap-only subtitle boundary and the trusted authoring smoke test - capture the titleset root-menu navigation trap as a recurring product and implementation risk **Why:** - keep Edward's future review passes anchored to the real product boundaries - preserve the most important guardrails from the first agent-era orientation work - reduce re-orientation cost when subtitle and navigation threads come back around
