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.

# agent-tools
Small Gitea-automation CLIs, shipped together in one RPM (`agent-tools`). They
act as the **`unkin-agent`** user by minting a scoped Gitea token from Vault, so
automated PRs, comments and pushes are attributed to the agent — not to whoever
happens to run the command.
- **`agentpr`** — create pull requests and post PR comments as `unkin-agent`.
- **`watchpr`** — poll one or more PRs and exit when one changes in a way worth
acting on.
- **`agentws`** — manage per-branch git worktrees for `unkin-agent`, cloning
into Ben's source checkout and isolating agent work under the XDG cache.
## How it gets a token
On first use each tool performs a Vault AppRole login (`role_id` only, no
`secret_id`), then reads `gitea/creds/unkin-agent` to obtain a short-lived Gitea
token, cached in-process for the run.
Everything is configured by environment variables, all with 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_SRC_ROOT` | `~/src/prodenv` | source-of-truth checkout root (`agentws`) |
| `AGENTWS_ROOT` | `~/.cache/agentws` | worktree root (`agentws`) |
| `AGENTWS_OWNER` | `unkin` | Gitea org that owns the repos (`agentws`) |
## agentpr
```bash
# Verify identity (should print: unkin-agent)
agentpr whoami
# Open a PR
agentpr pr create --repo unkin/argocd-apps \
--base main --head benvin/my-change \
--title "Add woodpecker SA" --body "Adds the ServiceAccount ..."
# prints: #<number> <html_url>
# Comment on a PR
agentpr pr comment --repo unkin/argocd-apps --pr 42 --body "Rebased, CI green."
agentpr --version
agentpr --help
```
Non-zero exit on any API error.
## watchpr
Poll PRs and exit (reporting what changed) when a tracked PR **merges/closes**,
gets a **new comment from someone other than the agent**, its **CI fails**
(failure/error), or it **loses mergeability** (a conflict appears). Benign
transitions — CI `pending``success`, the agent's own comments — are ignored.
```bash
# Watch until something meaningful happens (default interval 60s)
watchpr unkin/argocd-apps#42
# Multiple PRs, custom interval; refs accept #N or :N
watchpr --interval 30s unkin/argocd-apps#42 unkin/terraform-vault:98
# One-shot: print current state and exit 0 (great for scripts)
watchpr --once unkin/argocd-apps#42
watchpr --once --json unkin/argocd-apps#42
```
On a meaningful change `watchpr` prints the reason and the PR's current state,
then exits 0. Use `--json` for machine-readable output.
## agentws
`agentws` gives an agent an isolated git worktree per branch without disturbing
Ben's shared checkouts. Repos are cloned into the **source root**
(`~/src/prodenv/<repo>`) so branches created here are visible in the main
checkout too; the worktrees themselves live under the **worktree root**
(`~/.cache/agentws/<repo>__<branch>`).
```bash
# Clone unkin/argocd-apps into ~/src/prodenv if missing, then add a worktree for
# a new branch off the remote default branch. Prints the worktree path.
agentws new argocd-apps --branch benvin/my-change
# Branch off a specific base instead of the remote default
agentws new argocd-apps --branch benvin/hotfix --from release-1.2
# List managed worktrees (repo, branch, path)
agentws list
# Remove a worktree (by path or branch); refreshes the source repo afterwards
agentws rm benvin/my-change
agentws rm ~/.cache/agentws/argocd-apps__benvin-my-change --delete-branch
# Remove every managed worktree and prune each source repo
agentws clean
# Print a fresh unkin-agent Gitea token
agentws token
```
### Auth / credential-helper design
Gitea tokens minted from Vault are short-lived (~1h), so `agentws` never
persists one in a remote URL or in git config. Instead it wires itself as an
**ephemeral git credential helper**:
- `agentws token` prints a fresh token to stdout (handy for scripts).
- `agentws credential get` speaks the git credential protocol on stdin and, for
the configured Gitea host only, emits `username=unkin-agent` +
`password=<fresh token>`.
`agentws new` sets this up per worktree without touching the shared checkout: it
enables `extensions.worktreeConfig` on the repo once, then writes
`user.name` / `user.email` and `credential.helper = !<agentws> credential` to
the **per-worktree** config. Clone/fetch use the same helper via a transient
`-c credential.helper=...`; the shared `origin` URL is left clean. On worktree
removal `agentws` fetches in `~/src/prodenv/<repo>` so its default branch stays
current.
## Build & package
```bash
make build # -> dist/agentpr, dist/watchpr, dist/agentws
make test # go test -race ./...
make rpm # build + package dist/agent-tools-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm
```
Release is tag-driven (`v*`) via Woodpecker: builds the RPM, `PUT`s it to the
artifactapi `rpm-internal` yum repo, and cuts a Gitea release with
cross-compiled binaries attached.
### Version bump
```bash
make patch # or: make minor / make major — tags vX.Y.Z and pushes the tag
```
