Mission Control

Problem#

Multiple agents write YAML frontmatter to task files. Several files had duplicate keys, missing closing ---, and unquoted titles with colons, causing tasks to disappear from the UI.

Requirements#

Add a YAML frontmatter section to docs/CREW-MANIFEST.md or team/CONVENTIONS.md covering:

Always check before writing: Use grep or regex to check if a key already exists before writing it
Quote titles with colons - title: "Review tasks: fix..." not title: Review tasks: fix...
Always close frontmatter - every --- opener must have a matching --- on its own line
No Markdown frontmatter - use YAML format, not Status: notation
One frontmatter block per file - never nest or duplicate the --- delimiters
Prefer last-writer-wins: if updating a key, overwrite the existing line, do not append
