rob 858dcae72e fix: Make workflow.py executable and add missing argparse import
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)

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
