Implemented @include() directive system to eliminate ~800 lines of duplicated content across 10 specialist prompt files. All prompt-related content now consolidated under prompts/ directory for better maintainability.
Changes:
- Added processIncludes() to prompt-manager.js for generic @include() support
- Created prompts/shared/ with 5 reusable template files
- Refactored all 10 specialist prompts to use @include() for common sections
- Moved login_instructions.txt to prompts/shared/ (deleted login_resources/)
- Updated CLAUDE.md to reflect new structure
Impact: -137 net lines, zero breaking changes, infinitely scalable for future shared content.

ROOT CAUSE:
- Exploitation phase checked session.validationResults to determine eligibility
- validationResults field was removed during audit system refactor
- Field never existed in session schema, so all exploits were skipped
THE FIX:
- Exploitation phase now validates queue files directly when checking eligibility
- Reads exploitation_queue.json and checks if vulnerabilities array is non-empty
- No need to store validation results - just re-validate on demand
CHANGES:
1. runParallelExploit() now calls safeValidateQueueAndDeliverable() directly
2. Removed validationResults parameter from markAgentCompleted()
3. Simplified calculateVulnerabilityAnalysisSummary() - no longer needs validation data
4. Simplified calculateExploitationSummary() - no longer needs validation data
IMPACT:
- Exploitation agents will now run when vulnerabilities are found
- Queue files are the single source of truth for eligibility
- Simpler architecture - no duplicate state storage

Reasoning:
- Pollutes target repo with run-metadata.json
- Redundant with audit system (session.json has all metadata)
- Less useful than comprehensive audit logs
- Target repos should stay clean - only deliverables belong there
All debugging info now lives in audit-logs/{hostname}_{sessionId}/session.json

Remove unnecessary screenshot storage to reduce file I/O and disk usage:
- Removed screenshot directory creation
- Removed --output-dir flag from Playwright MCP setup
- Agents can still take screenshots, but they won't persist to disk
Screenshots were not being used by any part of Shannon for analysis
or reporting, making their storage unnecessary overhead.

Changes:
- Removed savePermanentDeliverables() function from src/setup/deliverables.js
- Removed function call and related console output from shannon.mjs
- Removed unused 'os' import from deliverables.js
