Bug

agents/verify-agent.md declares Task as a required tool in two places — the <Tool_Usage> section and the Configuration table — but the frontmatter tools array omits it:

# Before (broken)
tools: ["Read", "Write", "Edit", "Bash", "Grep", "Glob"]

# After (fixed)
tools: ["Read", "Write", "Edit", "Bash", "Grep", "Glob", "Task"]

Why it matters

At effort:max, verify-agent is supposed to spawn security-reviewer as a subagent via Task. Without Task declared in the tools array, the runtime cannot grant that permission and the spawn silently fails. Any handoff-verify invocation with --security or effort:max will reach Step 6 and produce no security review result.

The cross-component analysis in the audit confirms: commands/handoff-verify.md includes Task in its own allowed-tools and explicitly dispatches to agents/verify-agent.md, but the agent itself cannot complete the delegation.

Fix

One-line addition of "Task" to the frontmatter tools array, matching what the agent body and Configuration table already document as required.

The agent body and Configuration table both document Task as required
for spawning the security-reviewer subagent at effort:max, but the
frontmatter tools array omitted it. Without Task in the array the
subagent spawn silently fails.
