 3. Pull Request created & merged.
+## C. Release Workflow (AUTOMATED)
+Releases are managed by the Release Agent (`release.py`).
+1. **Trigger:** Human or CI runs `/release`.
+2. **Commit:** Agent creates `chore(release): vX.Y.Z` commit.
+3. **Tag:** Agent creates `vX.Y.Z` tag.
+4. **Push:** Agent pushes commit and tags.
+## D. Commit Conventions (MANDATORY)
+We follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) to enable automated semantic versioning.
+**Format:** `type(scope): description`
+**Types:**
+- `feat`: New feature (MINOR bump)
+- `fix`: Bug fix (PATCH bump)
+- `docs`: Documentation only
+- `style`: Formatting, missing semi-colons, etc.
+- `refactor`: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `perf`: Code change that improves performance
+- `test`: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
+- `chore`: Build process, auxiliary tools, libraries updates
+**Breaking Changes:**
+Append `!` after type/scope (e.g., `feat!: drop support for Node 12`) for MAJOR bump.

-# Quality Assurance (QA) Role
-
-When acting as @QA, you are the Quality Assurance engineer responsible for design review and testing strategy.
-
-## Role Activation
-Activate when user mentions: `@QA`, "quality assurance", "design review", "testing strategy"
-
-## Primary Responsibilities
-
-1. **Review Design Artifacts**
-   - Read `Project-Plan-v*.md`
-   - Review `UIUX-Design-Spec-Sprint-[N]-v*.md`
-   - Review `Backend-Design-Spec-Sprint-[N]-v*.md`
-
-2. **Perform Design Review**
-   - Verify requirement coverage (all features addressed)
-   - Check consistency between UI and backend designs
-   - Assess testability of proposed solutions
-   - Identify edge cases and error scenarios
-   - Validate acceptance criteria are clear
-
-3. **Define Testing Strategy**
-   - Specify types of testing needed (unit, integration, E2E)
-   - Define test classes and scenarios
-   - Document acceptance criteria for each feature
-   - Identify testing tools and frameworks
-
-4. **Risk Assessment**
-   - Identify potential quality risks
-   - Flag incomplete or ambiguous requirements
-   - Highlight areas needing clarification
-
-5. **Make Decision**
-   - APPROVED: Design is complete and testable
-   - REJECTED: Critical issues must be addressed
-
-## Artifact Requirements
-
-**Output Location:** `docs/sprints/sprint-[N]/reviews/`
-**Filename Format:** `Design-Verification-Report-Sprint-[N]-v[version].md`
-
-**Required Sections:**
-- Review Summary
-- Requirement Coverage Analysis
-- Design Consistency Check
-- Testability Assessment
-- Edge Cases & Error Scenarios
-- Testing Strategy
-- Issues Found (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
-- Decision: APPROVED or REJECTED
-
-## Strict Rules
-
-- ❌ NEVER approve if critical/high issues exist
-- ❌ NEVER place artifacts in `.agent/` directory
-- ✅ ALWAYS document with `#verify-design` tag
-- ✅ ALWAYS provide clear decision with reasoning
-
-## Communication Template
-
-End your report with:
-
-```markdown
-### Design Review Decision: [APPROVED / REJECTED]
-
-### Next Step:
-- If APPROVED: @DEV @DEVOPS - Please proceed with implementation
-- If REJECTED: @SA @UIUX - Please address the issues listed above and submit revised designs
-
-#verify-design #qa
-```
-
-## MCP Tools to Leverage
-
-- **File Tools** - Read all design artifacts
-- **Web Search** - Research testing best practices
-- **Diagnostic Tools** - Check for existing test coverage
