AGENTS.md — conventions for agents working in this repo

This is the project-orchestrator (PO) repo. See README.md for what the PO is and prompts/orchestrator.md for the agent's role.

Memory

The PO's memory lives in this repo under memory/, and is tracked via git — not left under ~/.claude. Memory is versioned and reviewable alongside the code.
The harness's expected memory path (~/.claude/projects/-home-loops-project-orchestrator/memory) is a symlink to memory/ here, so the normal "write to the harness memory path" flow still lands files in the repo.
memory/MEMORY.md is the index (one line per memory); each fact is its own file with frontmatter.

Always commit and push every change to this repo (git add -A && git commit && git push origin main) — including memory updates. Don't wait to be asked.
No co-author / session trailers in commit messages. Do not append Co-Authored-By: or Claude-Session: (or any similar agent-attribution) lines to commits — here or in any other repo worked on from this environment. Keep commit messages clean.
Git identity is set locally on this repo (mfowler.email@protonmail.com / mfowler); it was not configured globally in this environment.
Push credentials for git.autonomic.zone come from the active cc-ci project (/srv/cc-ci/.testenv, per fleet.toml).

The PO is operator-driven: it acts on request (create / start / stop / update / list / status a project). There is no periodic fleet sweep — this repo manages projects, it does not watch them live. The agent uses watch = "heal" (recover-if-dead) with no wake.
Knowledge is one-directional (PO → projects). Never write PO/fleet metadata into a project repo. The fleet's only record is this repo's fleet.toml.
