They will just use it to generate scripts, change it enough with a human and claim it’s just a tool.

Don’t think for one second this will slow down greed.

… for now

YTA, but not for the reason you’d expect. Your marriage is a partnership, and you just played immature games to prove a point.

This is not how you deal with problems in a healthy manner.

It’s clear you’ve made a split of work and you both are strained.

The right move would have been to tell her, “hey babe, I overheard your call with your sister and it hurt me to think you feel I help with nothing. If you are strained can you explain what area you need more help with, perhaps we can adjust or trade something to make things work better.”

Perhaps one of the things you do doesn’t matter as another one you don’t, trade out and prioritize what makes you both able to handle the day better.

You may have proved to her how much you do, but you sure didn’t win anything other than resentment, the most fatal of emotions in a relationship.

Neither is the asshole.

She didn’t tell you that she was waiting for the tree to be handled to do the next thing, you can’t have really know what her plans were if she wasnt sharing.

Additionally you did the thing you were asked to do, one would expect that that it gets done and doesn’t need constant check ins and updates, you said you would do it in the morning and you did.

This is why communication is key, I recommend because your wife is getting stressed out trying to make a good impression on your parents that you probably don’t take it personally that she was upset.

You are not in the wrong, but it can’t hurt to explain/apologize for the misunderstanding/miscommunication on behalf of you both. It helps to start with an acknowledgement of her motive / emotions / feelings.

“Hey honey, thank you for working so hard with me to get the house in order. I’m sorry I didn’t realize you had plans that depended on me dealing with the tree. Next time if you could give me a heads up that you’re blocked by me I can help you better by being more proactive with my priorities and communication.”

Good luck dude.
