extend_intention
Decompose an existing phase or task by adding child phases, tasks, or milestones. Useful for breaking down work into manageable steps.
Instructions
Add children under an existing phase or task. Use when an agent has implicit authority to decompose work (e.g., a parent task they have claimed). For high-stakes structural proposals, use queue_decision with proposed_subtasks instead. Defaults to status='active'.
