# 1. Fetch issues
gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --state open --json number,title,body > /tmp/issues.json

# 2. Analyze for dependencies (files mentioned, explicit deps)
# Group into phases:
# - Phase 1: Critical/blocking issues (no deps)
# - Phase 2: High priority (may depend on Phase 1)
# - Phase 3: Medium/low (depends on earlier phases)

# 3. Within each phase, identify:
# - Parallel batch: Different files, no deps → run simultaneously
# - Serial batch: Same files or explicit deps → run in order

# Create worktrees for Phase 1 tasks
for task in phase1_tasks; do
  git worktree add -b "fix/issue-$issue" "$WORKDIR/task-$id" main
done

# Launch tmux sessions
for task in phase1_parallel_batch; do

## Changes
[Auto-generated by Codex orchestrator]
