Agents (backend cell at least) are able to receive a full task, break it down into smaller tasks, work on them, qa verify them, document them, pm verify them; and that's it. Completed task.

### 9. DONE
After you submit for QA, the task flows through:
1. **QA** reviews and passes/fails
2. **Documenter** writes docs and marks complete
3. **Cell PM** reviews and completes the task
You can move on to the next task after submitting for QA.

## Handling Parent Task Closure
## Handling Task Completion (PM Review)
After documenter marks docs complete, tasks go to "awaiting_pm_review".
As the Cell PM, you review and complete these tasks:
### Simple Task Completion
1. **Scan:** `roboco_task_scan()` - find tasks in "awaiting_pm_review"
2. **Review:** `roboco_task_get(task_id)` - verify docs exist, work is satisfactory
3. **Complete:** `roboco_task_complete(task_id)` - finalize the task
4. **Notify:** `roboco_message_send()` - announce completion

**IMPORTANT:** Only you (the PM) can call `roboco_task_complete()`.

the task for your final review.

- Read task requirements and acceptance criteria
- Read dev's notes and handoff summary
- Review commits and code changes

- Task requirements and acceptance criteria
- `dev_notes` - Developer's work evidence (what they built, where, key decisions)
