unkin-agent f915b5ba3b watchpr: detect merge/close in poll loop (was hanging after baseline)
ci/woodpecker/pr/build Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pre-commit Pipeline was successful
watchpr only reported meaningful changes as transitions from the poll
baseline. A PR already merged or closed when the watch started was
captured as the baseline and never produced a transition, so the loop
polled the dead PR forever (process alive, never exiting) -- the
single-PR --interval case observed in production.

Add a terminal-state check applied to the baseline snapshot: a PR that
is already merged or closed the moment watchpr starts is reported and
exits immediately, since it can never change again. Extract the
baseline+poll loop into agent.Watch behind a StateFetcher interface so
the loop, its open->merged/close detection, and its poll-error
resilience are unit-testable with a fake client.

benvin 7d9ae0fcc6 Merge pull request 'Fix non-zero exit on error and debounce transient mergeable=false' (#2) from benvin/followup-fixes into main
ci/woodpecker/tag/release Pipeline was successful

unkin-agent 05594113a2 Fix non-zero exit on error and debounce transient mergeable=false
ci/woodpecker/pr/build Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pre-commit Pipeline was successful
agentpr/watchpr already propagated command errors to a non-zero exit, but
that behaviour had no regression coverage and the root command was not
constructible outside main(). watchpr also fired a spurious conflict alert
because Gitea computes mergeability asynchronously and can briefly report
mergeable=false right after a push. The docs additionally printed the
AppRole role_id literal UUID.

- Extract newRootCmd() in both cmd/agentpr and cmd/watchpr so main() only
  runs Execute and exits non-zero on error; add tests asserting Execute
  returns an error for a bad PR ref / malformed --repo / no args.
- Debounce mergeability loss in MeaningfulChange: only alert when
  mergeable=false persists across two consecutive polls (both prev and cur
  false, still open); update the table test for one-poll-false (benign),
  false-persisting (alert), and recovered false->true (benign).
- Refer to AGENT_APPROLE_ROLE_ID by env var in README.md/AGENTS.md without
  printing the literal role_id; keep the code default and env override.
