rob 03bb4afdcc build: Bundle automation/ and update pre-commit hook comment
Integration fixes to make workflow.py available in user projects:

1. Bundle automation/ directory in installer
   - Add automation/ to build_installer.py copy process
   - Ensures workflow.py is available in generated projects
   - Pre-commit hook can now actually call workflow.py

2. Update pre-commit hook comment
   - Change from "planned feature...does not yet exist"
   - Update to "provides non-blocking vote status reporting"
   - Accurately describes current implementation

Verified:
- automation/workflow.py present in install bundle
- workflow.py executes successfully from bundle
- Pre-commit hook comment matches reality

CascadingDev (CDev)

CDev — short for Cascading Development — is a Git-native AIhuman collaboration framework that automates documentation, discussion summaries, and code review directly within your repository.
It lets you build self-documenting projects where AI assists in generating and maintaining feature discussions, design docs, and implementation plans — all version-controlled alongside your code.


Key Features

  • Git-Integrated Workflow — every discussion, decision, and artifact lives in Git.
  • Cascading Rules System — nearest .ai-rules.yml defines how automation behaves.
  • Stage-Per-Discussion Model — separate files for feature, design, implementation, testing, and review.
  • Pre-commit Hook — automatically maintains summaries, diagrams, and vote tallies.
  • Ramble GUI — friendly PySide6/PyQt5 dialog for capturing structured feature requests.
  • Deterministic Builds — a reproducible installer bundle you can unzip and run anywhere.

🚀 Quick Start (Developers)

# 1. Create and activate a virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip wheel PySide6

# 2. Build the installer bundle
python tools/build_installer.py

# 3. Test-install into a temporary folder
python install/cascadingdev-*/setup_cascadingdev.py --target /tmp/myproject --no-ramble
