fix: branch param description was dangerously misleading#101
Merged
Conversation
…w ones The branch param description said 'agent will create it with git checkout -b' but the harness actually uses it for git clone --depth 1 --branch, killing the clone immediately if the branch doesn't exist on remote. - branch param: now warns DO NOT pass new branch names, clone will fail - spawn_agent description: added BRANCH PARAM WARNING block to top-level description so AI coordinators see it before choosing parameters Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
