-### Commit 2.7: Consolidate XML Parsing
+### Commit 2.7: Consolidate XML Parsing ✅ COMPLETE
 **Files:** `common/src/util/saxy.ts` + 3 related files  
 **Est. Time:** 2-3 hours  
-**Est. LOC Changed:** ~400-500
+**Actual Time:** ~2 hours (including multi-agent review and fixes)  
+**Est. LOC Changed:** ~400-500  
+**Actual LOC Changed:** 808 lines total (741 saxy + 20 tool-call-parser + 7 tag-utils + 17 index + 23 package.json export)
 
-| Task | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| Audit all XML parsing usages | Map current implementations |
-| Create unified `xml-parser.ts` | Single parsing module |
-| Create typed interfaces | `XmlNode`, `XmlParser` |
-| Migrate all usages | Update imports |
-| Remove duplicate implementations | Clean up |
+| Task | Description | Status |
+|------|-------------|--------|
+| Audit all XML parsing usages | Mapped 4 files: saxy.ts, xml.ts, xml-parser.ts, stream-xml-parser.ts | ✅ |
+| Create unified `common/src/util/xml/` directory | New directory with organized modules | ✅ |
+| Move `saxy.ts` to `xml/saxy.ts` | Core streaming XML parser | ✅ |
+| Move `xml-parser.ts` to `xml/tool-call-parser.ts` | Tool call XML parsing utility | ✅ |
+| Move `xml.ts` to `xml/tag-utils.ts` | XML tag utilities (closeXml, getStopSequences) | ✅ |
+| Create `xml/index.ts` | Unified re-exports for all XML utilities | ✅ |
+| Update all 7 consumers | Direct imports from `@codebuff/common/util/xml` | ✅ |
+| Add package.json export | Explicit `./util/xml` → `./src/util/xml/index.ts` | ✅ |
+| Multi-agent review | 4 CLI agents (Codex, Codebuff, Claude Code, Gemini) | ✅ |
+| Apply review fixes | Deleted shims, cleaned AI slop | ✅ |
+
+**New Directory Structure:**
+```
+common/src/util/xml/
+├── index.ts          (17 lines) - Unified exports (cleaned)
+├── saxy.ts           (741 lines) - Streaming XML parser
+├── tag-utils.ts      (7 lines) - closeXml, getStopSequences (cleaned)
+└── tool-call-parser.ts (20 lines) - parseToolCallXml (cleaned)
+```
+
+**Multi-Agent Review (Codex, Codebuff, Claude Code, Gemini):**
+
+All 4 CLI agents reviewed the initial implementation and reached consensus on improvements:
 
-**Dependencies:** None (can run in parallel with 2.6)  
+| Finding | Agents | Severity | Resolution |
+|---------|--------|----------|------------|
+| **Shims add unnecessary complexity** | All 4 | ⚠️ Warning | Deleted all 3 shim files |
+| **Only 6-7 consumers need updating** | All 4 | Info | Updated all consumers directly |
+| **AI slop comments** | 3/4 | Suggestion | Removed verbose JSDoc |
+| **Duplicate parseToolCallXml export** | Claude | ⚠️ Warning | Fixed by removing shims |
+| **Package export needed** | - | Critical | Added explicit export in package.json |
+
+**Review Fixes Applied:**
+
+| Fix | Description |
+|-----|-------------|
+| Delete shim files | Removed `saxy.ts`, `xml.ts`, `xml-parser.ts` shims (24 lines) |
+| Update 7 consumers | Direct imports from `@codebuff/common/util/xml` |
+| Add package.json export | `"./util/xml"` → `"./src/util/xml/index.ts"` for module resolution |
+| Clean AI slop | Removed ~30 lines of verbose JSDoc comments |
+| Update test import | `saxy.test.ts` now imports from `../xml` |
+
+**Files Updated:**
+- `common/package.json` - Added explicit xml export
+- `common/src/util/__tests__/saxy.test.ts` - Import from `../xml`
+- `packages/internal/src/utils/xml-parser.ts` - Import from `@codebuff/common/util/xml`
+- `agents-graveyard/base/ask.ts` - Already using correct import
+- `agents-graveyard/base/base-lite-grok-4-fast.ts` - Already using correct import
+- `agents-graveyard/base/base-prompts.ts` - Already using correct import

+- `web/src/app/admin/traces/utils/trace-processing.ts` - Already using correct import
+- `web/src/app/api/admin/relabel-for-user/route.ts` - Already using correct import
+
+**Test Results:**
+- 259 common package tests pass
+- All 13 package typechecks pass
+- 2,892+ tests pass across CLI, agent-runtime, billing, SDK packages
+- 29 Saxy XML parser tests pass
