Orchestrate full-stack feature development across backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers with modern API-first approach:

[Extended thinking: This workflow coordinates multiple specialized agents to deliver a complete full-stack feature from architecture through deployment. It follows API-first development principles, ensuring contract-driven development where the API specification drives both backend implementation and frontend consumption. Each phase builds upon previous outputs, creating a cohesive system with proper separation of concerns, comprehensive testing, and production-ready deployment. The workflow emphasizes modern practices like component-driven UI development, feature flags, observability, and progressive rollout strategies.]

Include database-level security measures and backup strategies."
• Expected output: Migration scripts, optimized queries, stored procedures, index definitions, database security configuration
• Context: Database design from step 1, query patterns from backend implementation

Phase 3: Integration & Testing

7. API Contract Testing

• Use Task tool with subagent_type="test-automator"
• Prompt: "Create contract tests for: $ARGUMENTS. Implement Pact/Dredd tests to validate API contracts between backend and frontend. Create integration tests for all API endpoints, test authentication flows, validate error responses, and ensure proper CORS configuration. Include load testing scenarios."
