Add agentws worktree-management binary
agentws manages per-branch git worktrees for the unkin-agent user: it clones
repos into the source root (~/src/prodenv/<repo>) so branches are visible in
Ben's main checkout, and creates isolated worktrees under the worktree root
(~/.cache/agentws/<repo>__<branch>).

- New internal/agent/git.go: small, testable git helpers shelling out to the
  git binary (clone/fetch/worktree add/remove/list/prune, branch + config ops,
  porcelain parsing, path sanitizing). No go-git dependency.
- New cmd/agentws: new / list / rm / clean / token / credential subcommands.
  Auth uses an ephemeral git credential helper (agentws credential get) so the
  ~1h Gitea token is never persisted in a remote URL or config; per-worktree
  config keeps the shared checkout's identity untouched.
- Wire agentws into Makefile, scripts/build-rpm.sh, packaging/nfpm.yaml (binary
  + bash/zsh/fish completions), .woodpecker/release.yaml (cross-compile + assets)
  and .gitignore.
- Tests: table tests for parsing/sanitizing/dir-naming, a real temp-git repo for
  the worktree lifecycle, and hermetic cmd tests (bad input + credential-helper
  host guard) that never touch the network.
- Document agentws in README.md and AGENTS.md.

# AGENTS.md
## Project Overview
This repo ships several Gitea-automation CLIs in one RPM (`agent-tools`). They
act as the `unkin-agent` user by minting a scoped Gitea token from Vault, so
actions are attributed to the agent rather than to whoever runs the tool.
- **`agentpr`** — create pull requests and post PR comments as `unkin-agent`
(fixes the "tea posts as Ben" attribution problem). Subcommands:
`pr create`, `pr comment`, `whoami`.
- **`watchpr`** — poll one or more PRs and exit when a tracked PR changes
meaningfully: it merges/closes, gets a new non-agent comment, its CI fails,
or it loses mergeability. Benign transitions (CI pending→success, the agent's
own comments) are ignored.
- **`agentws`** — manage per-branch git worktrees for `unkin-agent`. Clones
repos into the source root (`~/src/prodenv/<repo>`), creates worktrees under
the worktree root (`~/.cache/agentws/<repo>__<branch>`), and authenticates
clone/fetch/push via an ephemeral credential helper. Subcommands: `new`,
`list`, `rm`, `clean`, `token`, `credential`.
All tools are separate `main` packages under `cmd/` and share the
`internal/agent` package (Vault AppRole login, Gitea REST client, PR-ref
parsing, watch-state comparison, git worktree helpers).
## Structure
```
cmd/agentpr/main.go # agentpr CLI (pr create / pr comment / whoami)
cmd/watchpr/main.go # watchpr CLI (poll + meaningful-change exit)
cmd/agentws/main.go # agentws CLI (new / list / rm / clean / token / credential)
internal/agent/ # shared plumbing:
token.go # env config + in-process Gitea-token cache
vault.go # AppRole login + read gitea/creds/unkin-agent
gitea.go # Gitea REST client (PR create/get, comments, status, whoami)
parse.go # owner/repo#N and owner/repo parsing
watch.go # PRState snapshot + MeaningfulChange comparison
git.go # git worktree/clone/fetch helpers (os/exec, no go-git)
go.mod # module git.unkin.net/unkin/agent-tools
Makefile # build / test / lint / completions / rpm / version-bump
packaging/nfpm.yaml # nfpm spec (envsubst-templated) for the RPM (all binaries)
scripts/build-rpm.sh # generates completions + packages the RPM with nfpm
.woodpecker/ # CI: build, test, pre-commit (PR) + release (tag)
dist/ # build output: binaries, completions, RPM (not committed)
```
Every binary is a separate `main` package, so `make build` builds each with its
own `-o` (a single `go build ./...` can't emit multiple mains to one file).
## Token acquisition (shared)
All tools call `agent.GiteaToken()`, which (once per process):
1. AppRole login: `POST $VAULT_ADDR/v1/auth/approle/login` with `role_id` only
(no `secret_id`) → `client_token`.
2. `GET $VAULT_ADDR/v1/gitea/creds/unkin-agent` with `X-Vault-Token``.data.token`.
Config via env (all have defaults):
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `VAULT_ADDR` | `https://vault.service.consul:8200` | Vault/OpenBao address |
| `AGENT_APPROLE_ROLE_ID` | built-in default | AppRole role_id (overridable) |
| `GITEA_URL` | `https://git.unkin.net` | Gitea base URL |
| `AGENT_LOGIN` | `unkin-agent` | login whose comments watchpr ignores; agentws git identity |
| `AGENTWS_SRC_ROOT` | `~/src/prodenv` | agentws source-of-truth checkout root |
| `AGENTWS_ROOT` | `~/.cache/agentws` | agentws worktree root |
| `AGENTWS_OWNER` | `unkin` | Gitea org that owns agentws-managed repos |
### agentws git auth (ephemeral credential helper)
Gitea tokens are ~1h ephemeral, so `agentws` never bakes one into a remote URL
or config. `agentws token` prints a fresh token; `agentws credential get`
implements the git credential protocol (reads the key=value request on stdin,
and for the configured Gitea host only emits `username=unkin-agent` +
`password=<fresh token>`). `agentws new` wires this per worktree — it enables
`extensions.worktreeConfig` on the repo once, then writes `user.name`,
`user.email` and `credential.helper = !<agentws> credential` to the
**per-worktree** config so the shared checkout's identity/config is untouched.
Clone/fetch pass the same helper transiently via `-c credential.helper=...`.
Worktrees are created FROM `~/src/prodenv/<repo>` (`git worktree add`) so agent
branches are visible in Ben's main checkout; `rm`/`clean` fetch there afterwards
to keep the default branch current.
## Build
```bash
make build # -> dist/agentpr, dist/watchpr, dist/agentws (CGO disabled, static)
```
Requires Go 1.21+. Dependency: `github.com/spf13/cobra` (CLI).
## Packaging (RPM)
```bash
make rpm # build all binaries + package into dist/*.rpm via nfpm
```
`scripts/build-rpm.sh` generates bash/zsh/fish completions from the built
binaries and bundles them alongside `/usr/bin/agentpr`, `/usr/bin/watchpr` and
`/usr/bin/agentws`.
On a `v*` tag the release pipeline builds the RPM and `PUT`s it to the
artifactapi `rpm-internal` repo, then cuts a Gitea release.
## Shell completions
Cobra provides a `completion` subcommand for each binary
(`agentpr completion bash`, etc.). The RPM installs them to the standard system
paths (`/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/`,
`/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/`, `/usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/`).
## Testing
```bash
make test # go test -v -race ./...
```
`internal/agent` covers PR-ref parsing, the `MeaningfulChange` table (benign vs
alerting transitions), request-body construction, and the Vault+Gitea client
against `httptest` servers (fake AppRole login + gitea creds + PR create /
comment / whoami / status). No live Vault/Gitea access is required for tests.
## Gotchas
- `watchpr` exits 0 with no output changes on `--once` (just prints state).
- The token cache is process-wide (`sync.Once`); tests call the unexported
`fetchGiteaToken` to avoid it.
- CI "combined status" comes from `/commits/{sha}/status`; an empty head SHA
yields an empty state without an API call.
