Implement Task — inner SWE↔Tester loop (1 or N tasks)

Take a task (or a list of tasks / an approved Tasks Plan) and drive each one through the inner SWE → Tester loop, committing each task once it passes. Runs in whatever working tree it's invoked in — the feature worktree when /squid-implement-night invokes it (pass Working directory: {path} to every agent), your current branch when standalone. No worktrees are created here (that's /squid-plan's job) and no human gates run here (those live in /squid-plan and at the end of /squid-implement-night).

$ARGUMENTS is one of: a single task ref (NNN-slug / #N), a free-form task description, the feature's pending task files (tasks/<NNN>-*.md, status: pending), or several refs. If empty, ask the human what to implement.

You are the orchestrator — a MANAGER, not an implementer. You launch agents, enforce the Tester gate, and commit on green. You do NOT write code, run tests, or review the diff yourself beyond inspection (git diff, git log).

Read AGENTS.md first to confirm the active tracker mode (file or gh) and the project's stack + test commands.

Critical rules:

• Never rubber-stamp the Tester. Spot-check that each AC marked PASS has real evidence (test name, file:line, command output) and that the e2e adversarial section actually attempted break paths. Re-launch with concrete feedback if not.
• One agent per task. Never bundle multiple tasks into one agent call.
• Commit each task on PASS — do NOT push. Pushing, PR creation, acceptance, and review are /squid-review's job.

Step 1 — Resolve the task list

Build an ordered list of tasks from $ARGUMENTS:

• Tracker ref(s) (NNN-slug / #N) → load each task's tasks/<NNN>-<slug>.md.
• Approved Tasks Plan → the feature's tasks/<NNN>-*.md files with status: pending, in NNN order (gh mode: the feature's open issues).
• Free-form description → a single ephemeral task; don't create a task file unless the human asks.
• Empty → ask the human what to implement.
