Background Agent Permission Limitations +**Problem:** When spawning background agents via the Task tool for parallel work (agents a6d8fe7 and a6890a8), they were auto-denied Edit/Write/Bash permissions and couldn't complete their work. + +**Solution:** Had to complete the work manually in the main session where permissions were available. + +**Prevention:** Don't rely on background agents for tasks requiring file modifications. Either: +- Run file-modifying tasks sequentially in main session +- Use background agents only for read-only exploration/research +- Accept that background agents work best for analysis, not implementation + +### 2. Documentation Drift Accumulates Silently +**Problem:** During `/doc-audit`, discovered: +- CLAUDE.md version was 5.1.0 when it should be 5.2.0 +- 10 plugin versions in marketplace.json didn't match CHANGELOG entries +- 18 commands from Sprint 4 & 5 were missing from README.md and COMMANDS-CHEATSHEET.md + +**Solution:** Ran `/doc-sync` to batch-update all documentation in one commit. + +**Prevention:** +- Run `/doc-audit` at sprint close before lessons capture +- Add documentation verification to sprint close checklist +- Consider adding doc-coverage check to CI + +### 3.
