Critical bug fixes discovered during end-to-end testing: 1. Add missing argparse import to workflow.py - workflow.py was missing `import argparse` - Caused NameError when pre-commit hook tried to run it - Added import at line 13 2. Make workflow.py executable during installation - Installer now sets executable permissions (0o755) - Pre-commit hook checks `if [ -x "automation/workflow.py" ]` - Without executable bit, hook silently skipped workflow - Fix in setup_project.py lines 381-384 Testing: - Created fresh project with installer - Added votes to discussion file - Verified workflow.py runs during commit - Output: "CHANGES: 2 votes, READY: 3 votes" ✓ Impact: - Users now see vote counts during commits - Phase 1 orchestration fully functional - Foundation ready for Stage 2 (summary updates) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

CascadingDev (CDev)
CDev — short for Cascading Development — is a Git-native AI–human 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.ymldefines 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
