Replace all Printf logging with structured zerolog in runtime files

Migrates CHORUS logging to 100% structured JSON format with ISO 8601 timestamps
for all runtime-critical subsystems.

Files modified:
- internal/runtime/shared.go: SimpleTaskTracker task completion logging
- api/http_server.go: HTTP server, council opportunity, and status logging
- pubsub/pubsub.go: PubSub initialization, topic management, and message handlers
- discovery/mdns.go: mDNS peer discovery and connection logging

All Printf calls replaced with structured zerolog logging using:
- .Info() for informational messages
- .Warn() for warnings and errors
- .Debug() for verbose debug output
- Structured fields: peer_id, topic_name, council_id, etc.

Version bumped to 0.5.40

+# Sequential Thinking Age Wrapper - Deployment Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide covers deploying the Sequential Thinking Age-Encrypted Wrapper to Docker Swarm with full security enabled.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Swarm cluster initialized
+- `chorus-overlay` network created
+- Traefik reverse proxy configured
+- KACHING authentication service available
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Client → Traefik (HTTPS) → SeqThink Wrapper (JWT + Age Encryption) → MCP Server (loopback)
+```
+
+**Security Layers**:
+1. **TLS**: Traefik terminates HTTPS
+2. **JWT**: KACHING token validation
+3. **Age Encryption**: End-to-end encrypted payloads
+
+## Step 1: Generate Age Keys
+
+Generate a key pair for encryption:
+
+```bash
+# Generate age identity (private key)
+age-keygen -o seqthink_age.key
+
+# Extract recipient (public key)
+age-keygen -y seqthink_age.key > seqthink_age.pub
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```
+seqthink_age.key:
+# created: 2025-10-13T08:00:00+11:00
+# public key: age1abcd...
+AGE-SECRET-KEY-1ABCD...
+
+seqthink_age.pub:
+age1abcd...
+```
+
+## Step 2: Create Docker Secrets
+
+Store the age keys as Docker secrets:
+
+```bash
+# Create identity secret
+docker secret create seqthink_age_identity seqthink_age.key
+
+# Create recipient secret
+docker secret create seqthink_age_recipients seqthink_age.pub
+
+# Verify secrets
+docker secret ls | grep seqthink
+```
+
+**Expected Output**:
+```
+seqthink_age_identity      <timestamp>
+seqthink_age_recipients    <timestamp>
+```
+
+## Step 3: Build Docker Image
+
+Build the wrapper image:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/tony/chorus/project-queues/active/CHORUS
+
+# Build image
+docker build -f deploy/seqthink/Dockerfile -t anthonyrawlins/seqthink-wrapper:latest .
+
+# Tag with version
+docker tag anthonyrawlins/seqthink-wrapper:latest anthonyrawlins/seqthink-wrapper:0.1.0
+
+# Push to registry
+docker push anthonyrawlins/seqthink-wrapper:latest
+docker push anthonyrawlins/seqthink-wrapper:0.1.0
+```
+
+## Step 4: Deploy to Swarm
+
+Deploy the service:
+
+```bash
+cd deploy/seqthink
+
+# Deploy stack
+docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.swarm.yml seqthink
+
+# Check service status
+docker service ls | grep seqthink
+
+# Check logs
+docker service logs -f seqthink_seqthink-wrapper
+```
+
+**Expected Log Output**:
+```
+🚀 Starting Sequential Thinking Age Wrapper
+⏳ Waiting for MCP server...
+✅ MCP server ready
+Policy enforcement enabled
+  jwks_url: https://auth.kaching.services/jwks
+  required_scope: sequentialthinking.run
+Fetching JWKS
+JWKS cached successfully
+  key_count: 2
+Encryption enabled - using encrypted endpoint
+🔐 Wrapper listening
+  addr: :8443
+  encryption_enabled: true
+  policy_enabled: true
+```
+
+## Step 5: Verify Deployment
+
+Check service health:
+
+```bash
+# Check replicas
+docker service ps seqthink_seqthink-wrapper
+
+# Test health endpoint
+curl -f http://localhost:8443/health
+# Expected: OK
+
+# Test readiness
+curl -f http://localhost:8443/ready
+# Expected: READY
+
+# Check metrics
+curl http://localhost:8443/metrics | grep seqthink
+```
+
+## Step 6: Test with JWT Token
+
+Get a KACHING JWT token and test the API:
+
+```bash
+# Set your JWT token
+export JWT_TOKEN="eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImRlZmF1bHQiLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1QifQ..."
+
+# Test unauthorized (should fail)
+curl -X POST https://seqthink.chorus.services/mcp/tool \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/age" \
+  -d "test"
+# Expected: 401 Unauthorized
+
+# Test authorized (should succeed)
+curl -X POST https://seqthink.chorus.services/mcp/tool \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/age" \
+  -d "$(echo '{"tool":"test","payload":{}}' | age -r $(cat seqthink_age.pub))" \
+  --output encrypted_response.age
+
+# Decrypt response
+age -d -i seqthink_age.key encrypted_response.age
+```

+seqthink_encrypt_failures_total
+seqthink_policy_denials_total
+seqthink_request_duration_seconds
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+
+- **Liveness**: `GET /health` - Returns 200 if wrapper is running
+- **Readiness**: `GET /ready` - Returns 200 if MCP server is ready
+
+### Logs
+
+View logs:
+
+```bash
+# All replicas
+docker service logs seqthink_seqthink-wrapper
+
+# Follow logs
+docker service logs -f seqthink_seqthink-wrapper
+
+# Specific replica
+docker service logs seqthink_seqthink-wrapper.<replica-id>
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Policy Enforcement Disabled
+
+**Symptoms**:
+```
+Policy enforcement disabled - no JWKS URL or required scope configured
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+- Verify `KACHING_JWKS_URL` and `REQUIRED_SCOPE` are set
+- Check environment variables: `docker service inspect seqthink_seqthink-wrapper`
+
+### Issue: JWKS Fetch Failed
+
+**Symptoms**:
+```
+Failed to pre-fetch JWKS, will retry on first request
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+- Check KACHING service is accessible
+- Verify JWKS URL is correct
+- Check network connectivity
+
+### Issue: Decryption Failed
+
+**Symptoms**:
+```
+Failed to decrypt request
+seqthink_decrypt_failures_total increasing
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+- Verify age keys match between client and server
+- Check client is using correct public key
+- Ensure secrets are correctly mounted
+
+### Issue: MCP Server Not Ready
+
+**Symptoms**:
+```
+❌ MCP server not ready
+timeout waiting for MCP server
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+- Check MCP server is starting correctly
+- Review entrypoint.sh logs
+- Verify Python dependencies installed
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Key Rotation**: Periodically rotate age keys:
+   ```bash
+   # Generate new keys
+   age-keygen -o seqthink_age_new.key
+   age-keygen -y seqthink_age_new.key > seqthink_age_new.pub
+
+   # Update secrets (requires service restart)
+   docker secret rm seqthink_age_identity
+   docker secret create seqthink_age_identity seqthink_age_new.key
+   ```
+
+2. **JWT Token Expiration**: Tokens should have short expiration times (1 hour recommended)
+
+3. **Network Isolation**: MCP server only accessible on loopback (127.0.0.1)
+
+4. **TLS**: Always use HTTPS in production (via Traefik)
+
+5. **Rate Limiting**: Consider adding rate limiting at Traefik level
+
+## Development Mode
+
+For testing without security:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  # Disable encryption
+  AGE_IDENT_PATH: ""
+  AGE_RECIPS_PATH: ""
+
+  # Disable policy
+  KACHING_JWKS_URL: ""
+  REQUIRED_SCOPE: ""
+```
+
+**WARNING**: Only use in development environments!

+# Secrets Management Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The Sequential Thinking Wrapper uses Docker Secrets for secure key management. This guide covers generating, storing, and rotating secrets.
+
+## Secret Types
+
+### 1. Age Encryption Keys
+
+**Purpose**: End-to-end encryption of MCP communications
+
+**Components**:
+- **Identity (Private Key)**: `seqthink_age_identity`
+- **Recipients (Public Key)**: `seqthink_age_recipients`
+
+### 2. KACHING JWT Configuration
+
+**Purpose**: Authentication and authorization
+
+**Components**:
+- JWKS URL (environment variable, not a secret)
+- Required scope (environment variable, not a secret)
+
+## Generating Age Keys
+
+### Method 1: Using age-keygen
+
+```bash
+# Install age if not already installed
+# macOS: brew install age
+# Ubuntu: apt install age
+# Arch: pacman -S age
+
+# Generate identity (private key)
+age-keygen -o seqthink_age.key
+
+# Extract recipient (public key)
+age-keygen -y seqthink_age.key > seqthink_age.pub
+```
+
+**Output Format**:
+
+`seqthink_age.key`:
+```
+# created: 2025-10-13T08:00:00+11:00
+# public key: age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p
+AGE-SECRET-KEY-1GFPYYSJQ...
+```
+
+`seqthink_age.pub`:
+```
+age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p
+```
+
+### Method 2: Using Go Code
+
+Create a helper script:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"filippo.io/age"
+	"fmt"
+	"os"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	identity, err := age.GenerateX25519Identity()
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)
+	}
+
+	// Write identity (private key)
+	identityFile, _ := os.Create("seqthink_age.key")
+	fmt.Fprintf(identityFile, "# created: %s\n", time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339))
+	fmt.Fprintf(identityFile, "# public key: %s\n", identity.Recipient().String())
+	fmt.Fprintf(identityFile, "%s\n", identity.String())
+	identityFile.Close()
+
+	// Write recipient (public key)
+	recipientFile, _ := os.Create("seqthink_age.pub")
+	fmt.Fprintf(recipientFile, "%s\n", identity.Recipient().String())
+	recipientFile.Close()
+
+	fmt.Println("✅ Keys generated:")
+	fmt.Println("  Identity:  seqthink_age.key")
+	fmt.Println("  Recipient: seqthink_age.pub")
+}
+```
+
+## Storing Secrets in Docker Swarm
+
+### Create Secrets
+
+```bash
+# Create identity secret
+docker secret create seqthink_age_identity seqthink_age.key
+
+# Create recipient secret
+docker secret create seqthink_age_recipients seqthink_age.pub
+```
+
+### Verify Secrets
+
+```bash
+# List secrets
+docker secret ls | grep seqthink
+
+# Inspect secret metadata (not content)
+docker secret inspect seqthink_age_identity
+```
+
+**Expected Output**:
+```json
+[
+    {
+        "ID": "abc123...",
+        "Version": {
+            "Index": 123
+        },
+        "CreatedAt": "2025-10-13T08:00:00.000Z",
+        "UpdatedAt": "2025-10-13T08:00:00.000Z",
+        "Spec": {
+            "Name": "seqthink_age_identity",
+            "Labels": {}
+        }
+    }
+]
+```
+
+## Using Secrets in Services
+
+### Compose File Configuration
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  seqthink-wrapper:
+    environment:
+      AGE_IDENT_PATH: /run/secrets/seqthink_age_identity
+      AGE_RECIPS_PATH: /run/secrets/seqthink_age_recipients
+
+    secrets:
+      - seqthink_age_identity
+      - seqthink_age_recipients
+
+secrets:
+  seqthink_age_identity:
+    external: true
+  seqthink_age_recipients:
+    external: true
+```
+
+### Secret Mount Points
+
+Inside the container, secrets are available at:
+- `/run/secrets/seqthink_age_identity`
+- `/run/secrets/seqthink_age_recipients`
+
+These are read-only files mounted via tmpfs.
+
+## Key Rotation
+
+### Why Rotate Keys?
+
+- Compromised key material
+- Compliance requirements
+- Periodic security hygiene
+- Employee offboarding
+
+### Rotation Process
+
+#### Step 1: Generate New Keys
+
+```bash
+# Generate new keys with timestamp
+TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d)
+age-keygen -o seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.key
+age-keygen -y seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.key > seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.pub
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Create New Secrets
+
+```bash
+# Create new secrets with version suffix
+docker secret create seqthink_age_identity_v2 seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.key
+docker secret create seqthink_age_recipients_v2 seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.pub
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Update Service
+
+```bash
+# Update service to use new secrets
+docker service update \
+  --secret-rm seqthink_age_identity \
+  --secret-add source=seqthink_age_identity_v2,target=seqthink_age_identity \
+  --secret-rm seqthink_age_recipients \
+  --secret-add source=seqthink_age_recipients_v2,target=seqthink_age_recipients \
+  seqthink_seqthink-wrapper
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Verify New Keys Work
+
+```bash
+# Check service logs
+docker service logs seqthink_seqthink-wrapper | tail -20
+
+# Test encryption with new keys
+echo "test" | age -r "$(cat seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.pub)" | \
+  age -d -i seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.key
+```
+
+#### Step 5: Clean Up Old Secrets
+
+```bash
+# Wait 24 hours to ensure no rollback needed
+# Then remove old secrets
+docker secret rm seqthink_age_identity
+docker secret rm seqthink_age_recipients
+
+# Promote v2 to primary names (optional)
+docker secret create seqthink_age_identity seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.key
+docker secret create seqthink_age_recipients seqthink_age_${TIMESTAMP}.pub
+```
+
+## Backup and Recovery
+
+### Backup Keys
+
+```bash
+# Create secure backup directory
+mkdir -p ~/secure-backups/seqthink-keys
+chmod 700 ~/secure-backups/seqthink-keys
+
+# Copy keys to backup
+cp seqthink_age.key ~/secure-backups/seqthink-keys/
+cp seqthink_age.pub ~/secure-backups/seqthink-keys/
+
+# Encrypt backup
+tar czf - ~/secure-backups/seqthink-keys | \
+  age -r age1... > seqthink-keys-backup.tar.gz.age
+
+# Store encrypted backup in:
+# 1. Offsite backup (Backblaze, Scaleway)
+# 2. Password manager (1Password, Bitwarden)
+# 3. Hardware security module (YubiKey)
+```
+
+### Recover Keys
+
+```bash
+# Decrypt backup
+age -d -i master_identity.key seqthink-keys-backup.tar.gz.age | \
+  tar xzf -
+
+# Recreate Docker secrets
+docker secret create seqthink_age_identity \
+  ~/secure-backups/seqthink-keys/seqthink_age.key
+docker secret create seqthink_age_recipients \
+  ~/secure-backups/seqthink-keys/seqthink_age.pub
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### 1. Key Generation
+
+✅ **DO**:
+- Generate keys on secure, air-gapped machines
+- Use cryptographically secure random number generators
+- Generate new keys per environment (dev, staging, prod)
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Reuse keys across environments
+- Generate keys on shared/untrusted systems
+- Store keys in git repositories
+
+### 2. Key Storage
+
+✅ **DO**:
+- Use Docker Secrets for production
+- Encrypt backups with age or GPG
+- Store backups in multiple secure locations
+- Use hardware security modules for highly sensitive keys
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Store keys in environment variables
+- Commit keys to version control
+- Share keys via insecure channels (email, Slack)
+- Store unencrypted keys on disk
+
+### 3. Key Distribution
+
+✅ **DO**:
+- Use secure channels (age-encrypted files, password managers)
+- Verify key fingerprints before use
+- Use Docker Secrets for service access
+- Document key distribution recipients
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Send keys via unencrypted email
+- Post keys in chat systems
+- Share keys verbally
+- Use public key servers for private keys
+
+### 4. Key Lifecycle
+
+✅ **DO**:
+- Rotate keys periodically (quarterly recommended)
+- Rotate keys immediately if compromised
+- Keep audit log of key generations and rotations
+- Test key recovery procedures
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Keep keys indefinitely without rotation
+- Delete old keys immediately (keep 30-day overlap)
+- Skip testing key recovery
+- Forget to document key changes
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Secret Not Found
+
+**Error**:
+```
+Error response from daemon: secret 'seqthink_age_identity' not found
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Check if secret exists
+docker secret ls | grep seqthink
+
+# If missing, create it
+docker secret create seqthink_age_identity seqthink_age.key
+```
+
+### Issue: Permission Denied Reading Secret
+
+**Error**:
+```
+open /run/secrets/seqthink_age_identity: permission denied
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+- Secrets are mounted read-only to containers
+- Container user must have read permissions
+- Check Dockerfile USER directive
+
+### Issue: Wrong Key Used
+
+**Error**:
+```
+Failed to decrypt request
+seqthink_decrypt_failures_total increasing
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Verify public key matches private key
+PUBLIC_FROM_PRIVATE=$(age-keygen -y seqthink_age.key)
+PUBLIC_IN_SECRET=$(cat seqthink_age.pub)
+
+if [ "$PUBLIC_FROM_PRIVATE" = "$PUBLIC_IN_SECRET" ]; then
+  echo "✓ Keys match"
+else
+  echo "✗ Keys don't match - regenerate recipient"
+fi
+```
+
+### Issue: Secret Update Not Taking Effect
+
+**Symptoms**: Service still using old keys after update
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Force service update
+docker service update --force seqthink_seqthink-wrapper
+
+# Or restart service
+docker service scale seqthink_seqthink-wrapper=0
+docker service scale seqthink_seqthink-wrapper=3
+```
+
+## Client-Side Key Management
+
+### Distributing Public Keys to Clients
+
+Clients need the public key to encrypt requests:
+
+```bash
+# Generate client-friendly recipient file
+cat seqthink_age.pub
+
+# Clients can encrypt with:
+echo '{"tool":"test","payload":{}}' | age -r age1ql3z7hjy54pw3... > request.age
+```
+
+### Recipient Key Distribution Methods
+
+1. **Configuration Management**:
+   ```yaml
+   seqthink:
+     recipient: age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p
+   ```
+
+2. **Environment Variable**:
+   ```bash
+   export SEQTHINK_RECIPIENT="age1ql3z7hjy54pw3..."
+   ```
+
+3. **API Discovery** (future):
+   ```bash
+   curl https://seqthink.chorus.services/.well-known/age-recipient
+   ```
+
+## Compliance and Auditing
+
+### Audit Log Example
+
+Maintain a log of key operations:
+
+```markdown
+# seqthink-keys-audit.md
+
+## 2025-10-13 - Initial Key Generation
+- Generated by: Tony
+- Purpose: Production deployment
+- Public key: age1ql3z7hjy54pw3...
+- Stored in: Docker Secrets + Backup
+
+## 2025-11-15 - Quarterly Rotation
+- Generated by: Tony
+- Reason: Scheduled quarterly rotation
+- Old public key: age1ql3z7hjy54pw3...
+- New public key: age1abc123xyz...
+- Overlap period: 30 days
+- Old keys removed: 2025-12-15
+```
+
+### Compliance Requirements
+
+For SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar:
+- Document key generation procedures
+- Log all key rotations
+- Restrict key access to authorized personnel
+- Encrypt keys at rest
+- Regular key rotation (90 days recommended)
+- Incident response plan for key compromise
+
+## Emergency Procedures
+
+### Key Compromise Response
+
+If keys are compromised:
+
+1. **Immediate Actions** (< 1 hour):
+   ```bash
+   # Generate new keys immediately
+   age-keygen -o seqthink_age_emergency.key
+   age-keygen -y seqthink_age_emergency.key > seqthink_age_emergency.pub
+
+   # Update Docker secrets
+   docker secret create seqthink_age_identity_emergency seqthink_age_emergency.key
+   docker secret create seqthink_age_recipients_emergency seqthink_age_emergency.pub
+
+   # Force service update
+   docker service update --force \
+     --secret-rm seqthink_age_identity \
+     --secret-add source=seqthink_age_identity_emergency,target=seqthink_age_identity \
+     --secret-rm seqthink_age_recipients \
+     --secret-add source=seqthink_age_recipients_emergency,target=seqthink_age_recipients \
+     seqthink_seqthink-wrapper
+   ```
+
+2. **Communication** (< 4 hours):
+   - Notify all clients of new public key
+   - Update documentation
+   - Post mortem analysis
+
+3. **Follow-up** (< 24 hours):
+   - Review access logs
+   - Identify compromise source
+   - Update security procedures
+   - Complete incident report

+# Sequential Thinking Integration Plan for CHORUS Agents
+
+**Date**: 2025-10-13
+**Status**: Design Phase
+**Priority**: High - Blocking further intelligence improvements
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document outlines the integration of the Sequential Thinking MCP server into CHORUS agents to enable **structured, multi-step reasoning** before task execution. This addresses the limitation in the SequentialThinkingForCHORUS repository issue and unlocks advanced agent decision-making capabilities.
+
+**Problem Statement**: CHORUS agents currently use simple prompt-response cycles without structured reasoning, limiting their ability to handle complex tasks requiring multi-step analysis, hypothesis generation, and iterative refinement.
+
+**Solution**: Integrate the `mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking` MCP tool into the AI provider layer to enable chain-of-thought reasoning for complex tasks.
+
+---
+
+## Current Architecture Analysis
+
+### 1. Existing AI Provider Flow
+
+```
+TaskRequest → ModelProvider.ExecuteTask() → TaskResponse
+                    ↓
+          [Single LLM Call]
+                    ↓
+            Response String
+```
+
+**Current Providers**:
+- **OllamaProvider**: Local model execution
+- **ResetDataProvider**: ResetData LaaS API
+- **OpenAIProvider**: OpenAI API
+
+**Current Limitations**:
+- ✗ No structured reasoning process
+- ✗ No ability to revise initial thoughts
+- ✗ No hypothesis generation and verification
+- ✗ No branching for alternative approaches
+- ✗ Simple string reasoning field (not structured)
+
+### 2. TaskResponse Structure
+
+**Location**: `/home/tony/chorus/project-queues/active/CHORUS/pkg/ai/provider.go:53-78`
+
+```go
+type TaskResponse struct {
+    Success      bool                   `json:"success"`
+    TaskID       string                 `json:"task_id"`
+    Response     string                 `json:"response"`
+    Reasoning    string                 `json:"reasoning,omitempty"`  // ← Simple string
+    Actions      []TaskAction           `json:"actions,omitempty"`
+    Artifacts    []Artifact             `json:"artifacts,omitempty"`
+    TokensUsed   TokenUsage             `json:"tokens_used,omitempty"`
+    // ... other fields
+}
+```
+
+**Opportunity**: The `Reasoning` field is perfect for storing structured thinking output!
+
+---
+
+## Sequential Thinking MCP Tool
+
+### Tool Signature
+
+```go
+mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking(
+    thought: string,
+    nextThoughtNeeded: bool,
+    thoughtNumber: int,
+    totalThoughts: int,
+    isRevision: bool = false,
+    revisesThought: int = null,
+    branchFromThought: int = null,
+    branchId: string = null,
+    needsMoreThoughts: bool = false
+)
+```
+
+### Capabilities
+
+1. **Adaptive Thinking**: Adjust `totalThoughts` up or down as understanding deepens
+2. **Revision Support**: Question and revise previous thoughts (`isRevision`, `revisesThought`)
+3. **Branching**: Explore alternative approaches (`branchFromThought`, `branchId`)
+4. **Hypothesis Testing**: Generate and verify hypotheses in chain-of-thought
+5. **Uncertainty Expression**: Express and work through unclear aspects
+6. **Context Maintenance**: Keep track of all previous thoughts
+
+### When to Use
+
+- **Complex problem decomposition**
+- **Multi-step solution planning**
+- **Problems requiring course correction**
+- **Unclear scope requiring exploration**
+- **Tasks needing context over multiple steps**
+- **Filtering irrelevant information**
+
+---
+
+## Proposed Integration Architecture
+
+### Phase 1: Enhanced TaskResponse Structure
+
+**File**: `pkg/ai/provider.go`
+
+```go
+// StructuredReasoning represents chain-of-thought reasoning process
+type StructuredReasoning struct {
+    Thoughts         []ThoughtStep     `json:"thoughts"`
+    FinalHypothesis  string            `json:"final_hypothesis,omitempty"`
+    VerificationSteps []string         `json:"verification_steps,omitempty"`
+    Confidence       float32           `json:"confidence"`        // 0.0-1.0
+    TotalRevisions   int               `json:"total_revisions"`
+    BranchesExplored int               `json:"branches_explored"`
+}
+
+// ThoughtStep represents a single step in the reasoning process
+type ThoughtStep struct {
+    Number          int               `json:"number"`
+    Content         string            `json:"content"`
+    IsRevision      bool              `json:"is_revision"`
+    RevisesThought  int               `json:"revises_thought,omitempty"`
+    BranchID        string            `json:"branch_id,omitempty"`
+    BranchFrom      int               `json:"branch_from,omitempty"`
+    Timestamp       time.Time         `json:"timestamp"`
+}
+
+// TaskResponse update
+type TaskResponse struct {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    Reasoning           string               `json:"reasoning,omitempty"` // Legacy simple string
+    StructuredReasoning *StructuredReasoning `json:"structured_reasoning,omitempty"` // NEW
+    // ... rest of fields ...
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Sequential Thinking Wrapper
+
+**New File**: `pkg/ai/sequential_thinking.go`
+
+```go
+package ai
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "encoding/json"
+    "fmt"
+)

+}
+
+// ThinkingRequest represents input for sequential thinking
+type ThinkingRequest struct {
+    Problem           string
+    Context           map[string]interface{}
+    MaxThoughts       int
+    AllowRevisions    bool
+    AllowBranching    bool
+}
+
+// ThinkingResult represents output from sequential thinking
+type ThinkingResult struct {
+    Thoughts          []ThoughtStep
+    FinalConclusion   string
+    Confidence        float32
+    ReasoningPath     string // Markdown summary of thinking process
+}
+
+// Think executes sequential thinking process
+func (e *SequentialThinkingEngine) Think(ctx context.Context, req *ThinkingRequest) (*ThinkingResult, error) {
+    // Implementation:
+    // 1. Initialize thinking with problem statement
+    // 2. Iteratively call MCP tool until nextThoughtNeeded = false
+    // 3. Track all thoughts, revisions, branches
+    // 4. Generate final conclusion and reasoning summary
+    // 5. Return structured result
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Provider Integration
+
+**Modified File**: `pkg/ai/resetdata.go`
+
+```go

+        })
+
+        if err != nil {

+            log.Warn().Err(err).Msg("Sequential thinking failed, falling back to direct execution")
+        } else {

+
+    if request.Complexity >= 7 {
+        return true
+    }
+
+    role := strings.ToLower(request.AgentRole)

+```

+
+## Configuration
+
+### Agent Configuration
+
+**File**: `config/agent.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+ai_providers:
+  resetdata:
+    type: "resetdata"
+    endpoint: "${RESETDATA_API_ENDPOINT}"
+    api_key: "${RESETDATA_API_KEY}"
+    default_model: "llama3.1:70b"
+
+    # Sequential thinking configuration
+    enable_sequential_thinking: true
+    sequential_thinking:
+      min_complexity: 7           # Minimum complexity to trigger
+      force_for_roles:            # Always use for these roles
+        - architect
+        - senior-developer
+      max_thoughts: 15            # Maximum thinking iterations
+      enable_revisions: true      # Allow thought revisions
+      enable_branching: true      # Allow exploring alternatives
+      confidence_threshold: 0.7   # Minimum confidence for final answer
+```
+
+### Runtime Toggle
+
+Allow runtime control via council brief:
+
+```json
+{
+  "task_id": "task-123",
+  "complexity": 8,
+  "use_sequential_thinking": true,  // Explicit override
+  "thinking_config": {
+    "max_thoughts": 20,
+    "allow_branching": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Benefits & Expected Improvements
+
+### 1. Better Problem Decomposition
+
+**Before**:
+```
+Agent: Here's my solution [immediately provides implementation]
+```
+
+**After**:
+```
+Thought 1: Breaking down the task into 3 main components...
+Thought 2: Component A requires database schema changes...
+Thought 3: Wait, revising thought 2 - migration strategy needs consideration...
+Thought 4: Exploring alternative: event sourcing vs direct updates...
+Thought 5: Event sourcing better for audit trail requirements...
+Final: Implementation plan with 5 concrete steps...
+```
+
+### 2. Improved Architecture Decisions
+
+Architect agents can:
+- Explore multiple design alternatives
+- Revise decisions based on discovered constraints
+- Build and verify hypotheses about scalability
+- Document reasoning trail for future reference
+
+### 3. Higher Quality Code
+
+Developer agents can:
+- Think through edge cases before coding
+- Consider multiple implementation approaches
+- Revise initial assumptions
+- Plan testing strategy upfront
+
+### 4. Debugging Enhancement
+
+When tasks fail:
+- Reasoning traces show where agent went wrong
+- Can identify flawed assumptions
+- Easier to improve prompts and heuristics
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### 1. Latency Impact
+
+**Estimated Overhead**:
+- Sequential thinking: 5-15 LLM calls (vs 1 direct call)
+- Expected latency increase: 10-30 seconds for complex tasks
+- **Mitigation**: Only use for high-complexity tasks (complexity >= 7)
+
+### 2. Token Usage
+
+**Estimated Increase**:
+- Each thought: ~200-500 tokens
+- 10 thoughts: ~3000-5000 additional tokens
+- **Mitigation**: Set reasonable `max_thoughts` limits
+
+### 3. Resource Requirements
+
+**MCP Server**:
+- Sequential thinking MCP server must be available
+- Requires proper error handling and fallback
+
+---
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| MCP server unavailable | High | Graceful fallback to direct execution |
+| Increased latency unacceptable | Medium | Make sequential thinking opt-in per task |
+| Token cost explosion | Medium | Set hard limits on max_thoughts |
+| Reasoning doesn't improve quality | High | A/B testing with metrics |
+| Complex implementation | Medium | Phased rollout with testing |
+
+---
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+### Quantitative
+
+1. **Task Success Rate**: Compare before/after for complexity >= 7 tasks
+   - Target: +15% improvement
+2. **Code Quality**: Static analysis scores for generated code
+   - Target: +20% improvement in complexity score
+3. **PR Acceptance Rate**: How many agent PRs get merged
+   - Target: +25% improvement
+4. **Latency**: Task execution time
+   - Acceptable: <30% increase for complex tasks
+
+### Qualitative
+
+1. **Reasoning Quality**: Human review of reasoning traces
+2. **Decision Clarity**: Can humans understand agent's thought process?
+3. **Developer Feedback**: Easier to debug failed tasks?
+
+---
+
+## Rollout Plan
+
+### Stage 1: Internal Testing (Week 1)
+
+- Deploy to development environment
+- Test with synthetic tasks
