**Timestamp:** 2026-03-18T21:45:00Z  
**Agent:** McCauley  
**Mode:** background  
**Task:** Stronger roster fitness review for the repo

---

## Input

- **Spawn Reason:** Assess squad roster alignment and fitness
- **Files Touched:**
  - `.squad/agents/mccauley/history.md` (appended learnings)
  - `.squad/decisions/inbox/mccauley-roster-review.md` (generated)

---

## Work Summary

Conducted comprehensive roster review across five dimensions:

1. **Workstream Coverage:** Verified each of 6 core workstreams has assigned owner + backup
2. **Role Gaps:** Assessed whether missing specialisms exist (none found)
3. **Role Redundancy:** Evaluated whether splits are correct (all necessary and non-overlapping)
4. **@copilot Addition:** Reviewed earlier decision to remove orphaned @copilot references (stands)
5. **Recommendations:** Produced zero roster changes; documented bus factor risk

---

## Findings

- ✅ **Coverage Complete:** COM interop (Shiherlis+Hanna), MCP/CLI (Cheritto), tests (Nate), docs (Trejo), architecture (McCauley)
- ✅ **No Missing Roles:** Release manager, DevOps, security, performance all automated or unnecessary
- ✅ **Role Boundaries Correct:** Each domain has single point of authority; no conflicts of interest
- ✅ **No Redundancy:** Each role is necessary and non-overlapping
- ✅ **@copilot Decision Stands:** Removal was correct; no resurrect warranted
- ⚠️ **Bus Factor 1-2:** Each core specialist is singular point of failure for 2+ weeks; documented but manageable

---

## Recommendation

**KEEP AS-IS.** Squad is correctly staffed, well-aligned, and fully covers project demands.

## Next Steps

- Merge roster review decision into `decisions.md`
- Append McCauley learning to history
- Mark task complete
