Agent House Rules & Replica Read Fix
Two changes land together to make unattended agents less error-prone. A new “Working the Loop” block is now seeded into every project’s AGENTS.md via agents-house-rules.md, teaching agents to subscribe to the unified event log instead of polling GitHub or CI, detect automated review approvals via reactions, and read Linear tickets from the local replica rather than the live API. Alongside that, the replica-read instruction itself is corrected — background agents were silently falling through to bare linearis because linear_read_ticket is a shell function that never resolves in an unattended Bash session; the instruction now leads with the sqlite3 form that works in any shell. Run check-project-setup.sh to verify your projects have the new reflex markers in place.
