<current_state> Phase 10.1 context discussion completed. CONTEXT.md created with implementation decisions. Phase has no plans yet — ready for /gsd:plan-phase 10.1 to create execution plans. </current_state>

<completed_work>

• Phase 10 fully complete (7 plans, all UAT gaps closed)
• Phase 10.1 CONTEXT.md created via /gsd:discuss-phase
• Fixed misnamed phase directories (10.1 and 10.2 were swapped)
• Committed: docs(10.1): capture phase context </completed_work>

<remaining_work>

• Run /gsd:plan-phase 10.1 to create execution plans
• Execute plans to decompose main workflow from 192 nodes to ~50-80 nodes
• Create domain sub-workflows per the captured decisions </remaining_work>

<decisions_made> Decomposition:

• Claude proposes optimal boundaries, user approves
• Extraction threshold: cohesive behavior + 8-15 nodes minimum
• Existing sub-workflows (Update, Actions, Logs) open to restructuring

Main workflow:

• Main sends all Telegram responses (sub-workflows return data only)
• Centralized error handling in main
• Claude to evaluate whether dedicated Telegram sub-workflow adds value

Contracts:

• Input: common fields (chatId, messageId) + domain-specific
• File naming: n8n-{domain}.json (rename existing to match)

Migration:

• Grouped extraction, verify each group
• Telegram sub-workflow first if validated
• Git + backup files for rollback </decisions_made>

None User wants pragmatic modularization — no workflow too large to work with, logical groupings, don't over-engineer. Key insight from discussion: a dedicated Telegram sub-workflow could centralize all messaging complexity (sending, editing, keyboards, errors, callbacks). This needs validation during research/planning.

The goal is main workflow becomes: trigger → auth → route → dispatch to sub-workflows → format response → send via Telegram (or Telegram sub-workflow).

<next_action> Run /gsd:plan-phase 10.1 to:

1. Research current workflow structure
2. Propose domain boundaries (including Telegram sub-workflow evaluation)
3. Create execution plans for grouped extraction </next_action>
