Begin Phase 1 implementation (Board + Pieces) ### Tester Agent Tasks: 1. Set up testing frameworks (Jest + Playwright) 2. Create test directory structure 3. Write tests based on `/docs/testing/test-specifications.md` 4. Implement tests alongside features (TDD) 5. Monitor code coverage (target: 90%+) ### Coordination: - Daily check-ins between Coder and Tester - Continuous integration with tests - Code review after each major component - Performance monitoring throughout development --- ## 13.
