When do I need to redefine an existing project team roster?▼

You need to redefine a project team roster when no roster exists or when the current roster must be restructured, triggering the casting process for Phase 1 and Phase 2 role assignments.

How does the team setup workflow handle workspace scaffolding?▼

The team setup workflow enforces .squad directory scaffolding only after you provide explicit user approval, ensuring deliberate setup before any project state is created.

Can I automate team formation without manual confirmation steps?▼

What is the casting process for assigning project team roles?▼

The casting process for project team roles involves proposing a candidate roster in Phase 1, awaiting user confirmation, and then guiding role assignments for Phase 2 initialization.
