Add self-improvement cycles to all role definitions

Each role now has a structured post-task cycle: reflect on specific
questions, perform 1-3 concrete improvements (test helpers, scripts,
checklists, docs, role definitions), and record changes in SESSION_STATE.

Updated CLAUDE.md and DESIGN.md to reference the cycle in the
multi-agent workflow documentation.

 **Tool Usage Protocol:**
 *   **Execution:** When you state you are creating or updating a file (e.g., `instructions.md`, `SESSION_STATE.md`), you **MUST** execute the `write_file` tool. Do not just describe the content; write it to the disk.
 
-**Self-Improvement:**
-*   **Meta-Review:** Periodically (e.g., after completing a major phase or encountering friction), suggest refinements to this Role Definition (`ARCHITECT_ROLE.md`) to better align with the user's needs and project workflow.
-*   **Reflection:** Ask yourself: "Did my instructions lead to clean code, or did they force the Implementor into a hacky solution?"
+**Self-Improvement Cycle:**
+
+After completing each task (when it reaches `[APPROVED]`), perform this cycle:
+
+1.  **Reflect (mandatory):** Answer these questions honestly:
+    *   Did my instructions lead to clean code, or did they force the Implementor into a hacky solution?
+    *   Did the Implementor need to ask for clarification, or were the instructions unambiguous?
+    *   Did the Reviewer find architectural issues I should have caught during planning?
+    *   Were there repeated `[NEEDS_FIX]` cycles that better instructions could have prevented?
+
+2.  **Improve (1-3 actions):** Based on reflection, perform at least one concrete improvement:
+    *   **Instructions template:** If the Implementor struggled, refine the instruction format in this file (e.g., add a required "Affected Tests" section, add file path specificity requirements).
+    *   **ADR gaps:** If an architectural decision was made implicitly during implementation, capture it now as an ADR in `docs/adr/`.
+    *   **Bug patterns:** If a bug revealed a systemic issue (e.g., missing CSRF, env var dependency), add a "Known Pitfall" to `DESIGN.md` so future instructions proactively address it.
+    *   **Role definition:** If workflow friction occurred (e.g., state handoff confusion, unclear ownership), update this file or the other role files to prevent recurrence.
+    *   **Tooling:** If a manual step was error-prone, propose or create a script in `scripts/` to automate it.
+    *   **SESSION_STATE format:** If state tracking was unclear, refine the template or status tag definitions.
+
+3.  **Record:** Note what was improved and why in `SESSION_STATE.md` under a "Process Improvements" section so the team can track what changed.
