Two defects in CB-617 that only a live spawn could find. Both were shipped
green: every test passed because every test read the argv we built, and none
ran the binary that has to accept it.
1. Claude Code refuses to start when both --append-system-prompt and
--append-system-prompt-file are on the command line:
Error: Cannot use both --append-system-prompt and
--append-system-prompt-file. Please use only one.
CB-617 put the role charter on the file flag and left the reply charter on
the inline flag, so every Claude-profile spawn with a role charter died at
launch. The pane exited on its own and bridged reported it as
spawn_timeout ("did not reach injectable state within 20000ms"), which
hides the real cause.
Both charters now go in the one file, role charter first and reply charter
last — last is where the reply rule must sit, because it is the rule that
must survive. A member with only a reply charter keeps the proven inline
flag, which is also the only form that reaches a member with no repo
checkout.
2. A Claude Code agent definition needs `name:` in its frontmatter. Ours had
only `description:`, so the files were skipped and --agent architect failed
with "not found. Available agents: claude, Explore, ...". Added to all
three. The OpenCode files take their name from the filename and are
unchanged.
Checked on this host, in this repo, with the real binary:
claude --model claude-sonnet-5 --agent architect \
--append-system-prompt-file /tmp/combined.md -p '...'
-> ROLEOK, REPLYOK, yes
so the agent definition, the role charter and the reply charter all compose.
The updated test now asserts the constraint that actually binds: with a role
charter present, --append-system-prompt must be absent, and the file must open
with the role charter and end with the reply charter.
874 tests pass.
