/gitea-coordinator                    # Auto-discover and execute ready tasks
/gitea-coordinator TASK-001 TASK-002  # Execute specific tasks
/gitea-coordinator --dry-run          # Preview execution plan only
/gitea-coordinator --parallel         # Run workers in parallel
/gitea-coordinator --sequential       # Run workers one at a time (default)

Actions:
1. Read context/backlog/ for task files
2. Filter to status: ready
3. Parse task metadata (priority, size, dependencies)
4. Sort by priority (high → medium → low)
5. Present findings

Output: List of ready tasks with metadata

Actions:
1. Determine execution mode (sequential or parallel)
2. Check for task dependencies (A must complete before B)
3. Assign tasks to workers in priority order
4. Generate worker instructions

Output: Execution plan with task assignments

For SEQUENTIAL mode:
  for each task in queue:
    1. Spawn worker with Task tool
    2. Worker runs gitea-workflow for the task
    3. Monitor progress via file system
    4. When complete: proceed to merge phase
    5. On failure: handle error, decide continue/stop

For PARALLEL mode:
  1. Spawn workers up to max_workers
  2. Monitor all workers concurrently
  3. As workers complete: queue their PRs for merge
  4. Spawn next worker if tasks remain
  5. Continue until all tasks processed

Actions:
1. For each completed PR in merge queue:
   a. git checkout main && git pull
   b. Merge PR (via tea pulls merge or git merge)
   c. Verify merge succeeded
   d. Delete feature branch
2. If conflict: pause and alert user

Output: All PRs merged to main

Actions:
1. git checkout main && git pull --rebase
2. npm run build (verify build passes)
3. npm test (run full test suite)
4. Check for regressions
5. Generate verification report

Output: Verification status (PASSED/FAILED)

Output:
- Tasks completed with PR numbers and commits
- Metrics (workers spawned, PRs merged, tests added)
- Verification status
- Remaining backlog tasks
