# Review: tasks — slice 103

**Verdict:** CONCERNS
**Model:** gpt-5.3-codex

## Findings

### [PASS] Core functional command coverage maps cleanly to slice criteria

Tasks 3/5/7/9 (with tests in 4/6/8/10) cover the main functional requirements: `spawn`, `list`, `task`, `shutdown`, and `shutdown --all`, including command wiring and basic success/error behavior.

### [CONCERN] Two slice success criteria are not explicitly covered by tasks/tests

The slice requires:
- helpful errors for **provider failure** (generic `ProviderError`)  
- useful docs for `orchestration <command> --help`  
Task 3 mentions handling `ProviderError`, but Task 4 does not test it; and no task explicitly verifies per-command help output quality.

### [CONCERN] Technical requirement for piped/non-TTY output readability is unaddressed

Slice technical criteria include readable output when piped (no ANSI noise). No task or test explicitly validates non-TTY/piped behavior for rich/typer output.

### [PASS] Sequencing and dependency structure are sound

No circular dependencies are evident. Implementation/test pairing follows the requested test-with pattern (3→4, 5→6, 7→8, 9→10), and Task 11 correctly composes prior command implementations.

### [CONCERN] Commit checkpoint requirement is missing

There are no explicit commit checkpoints in the breakdown, so checkpoint distribution cannot be validated. This misses the review criterion requiring commits to be distributed through the plan rather than batched at the end.
