fix(bin): start no-mistakes validation from worker after commit

[BohnBawerick]

Intent

Remove the intermediate validation handoff from firstmate's task lifecycle, so a worker starts its own validation run the moment its implementation is committed and only reports done when there is a PR. This is option (b) from fm-brief-no-mistakes-cli, approved by the captain on 2026-08-18.

Change AGENTS.md section 7 and the generated brief text in bin/fm-brief.sh that mirrors that handoff. Keep the change to the handoff itself. Do not reopen the option (a) wording that shipped separately in fm-brief-no-mistakes-cli, and do not redesign the status protocol.

Firstmate must still learn when validation starts and when it fails, without the handoff line: a nonterminal working: append at the moment the run starts, and a failed: or blocked: if the run dies mid-pipeline.

The gate contract is unchanged: the worker still stops at an ask-user finding, prints every finding verbatim, waits for one instruction naming the finding ids, never calls no-mistakes axi respond on a finding it was not told to answer, and never passes --yes. Phrase worker-facing text in terms of what the worker must do, never in terms of what firstmate will do for it.

The working path is the no-mistakes CLI (no-mistakes axi run --intent "..."); /no-mistakes is a firstmate skill and is absent in a crewmate worktree.

Cover the generated brief's new contract with a test that goes RED if the handoff text comes back or the start-your-own-run instruction disappears, and prove both directions. Keep bin/ shellcheck-clean. Report any sabotage that stays green.

Push to fork and validate against the PR there, where CI is real. Leave any upstream PR against origin alone. There is no direct-PR fallback. If the fork's main is stale as a PR base, report that as evidence, not a failure of this task.

What Changed

• Updated AGENTS.md and bin/fm-brief.sh to remove the intermediate firstmate handoff, instructing workers to start the no-mistakes CLI validation pipeline immediately after committing implementation changes.
• Updated brief templates and task lifecycle rules to append a nonterminal working: status line when validation begins, report failed: or blocked: on errors, and require a green PR before appending done:.
• Replaced /no-mistakes skill references with direct no-mistakes CLI invocations across generated briefs and added contract tests in tests/fm-brief.test.sh to verify self-started validation.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The change cleanly removes the intermediate validation handoff in AGENTS.md and bin/fm-brief.sh in favor of worker self-start via the no-mistakes CLI, accompanied by comprehensive contract tests for the generated brief.

Testing

Exercised end-to-end brief generation across ship (no-mistakes, direct-PR, local-only), scout, and secondmate modes, verified that no-mistakes briefs instruct the worker to start its own validation immediately via the no-mistakes CLI without intermediate pre-PR done: handoffs, verified mid-pipeline failure reporting via blocked:/failed:, confirmed absence of /no-mistakes skill references, and proved test sensitivity in both directions via mutation testing.

# Validation Report: fm/fm-validation-self-start

## Executive Summary
This validation confirms Option (b) implementation from `fm-brief-no-mistakes-cli` removing the intermediate validation handoff from Firstmate's task lifecycle.

A worker agent now:
1. Immediately starts its own validation run after its implementation commit using the `no-mistakes` CLI on PATH (`no-mistakes axi run --intent "<...>"`).
2. Appends a nonterminal `working: starting no-mistakes validation` line to the status file when the run starts.
3. Does NOT append `done:` until there is a PR whose checks are green (`done: PR {url} checks green`).
4. Appends `blocked: {the exact error}` or `failed: {the exact error}` if the run dies mid-pipeline.
5. Handles ask-user findings via `needs-decision` escalation, never answers findings itself, and avoids `--yes`.
6. Uses `no-mistakes axi` CLI commands; references to the `/no-mistakes` skill (absent in crewmate worktrees) are removed.

## Test Proofs

### 1. Behavioral Test Suite
`./tests/fm-brief.test.sh` executes end-to-end scaffolding across modes (`no-mistakes`, `direct-PR`, `local-only`, `--scout`, `--secondmate`) and validates exact behavioral contracts via `test_no_mistakes_worker_starts_own_validation`.

All 21 test assertions pass cleanly.

### 2. Mutation / Sabotage Verification (Proving Both Directions)
- **Direction 1 (Old handoff text returns):**
  When the legacy handoff text (`Firstmate will then instruct you to run /no-mistakes`) was reintroduced, `tests/fm-brief.test.sh` went RED immediately (`not ok - explicit no-mistakes brief did not render the pipeline definition of done`).
- **Direction 2 (Self-start instruction missing):**
  When the self-start instruction (`When implementation is committed on your branch, start the no-mistakes pipeline yourself immediately.`) was removed, `tests/fm-brief.test.sh` went RED immediately (`not ok - explicit no-mistakes brief did not render the pipeline definition of done`).

### 3. Generated Brief Inspection
Generated brief output for `no-mistakes` mode confirms the exact Definition of Done:
`` `markdown
# Definition of done
Delivery contract: mode=no-mistakes
This mode is complete only when the no-mistakes pipeline has shipped a PR whose checks are green.
When implementation is committed on your branch, start the no-mistakes pipeline yourself immediately.
Append `working: starting no-mistakes validation` to the status file, then run the `no-mistakes` CLI on your `PATH`: `no-mistakes axi run --intent "<...>"` to start, and `no-mistakes axi respond` for each gate.
Do not append `done:` until there is a PR.

You drive no-mistakes by responding to its gates, not by implementing fixes.
Follow the guidance no-mistakes itself provides for the mechanics: `no-mistakes axi run --help` plus the `help` lines in each `axi` response are authoritative and version-matched to the installed binary.
When starting no-mistakes, make `--intent` preserve all relevant content from this brief's `# Task` section plus every later accepted Firstmate requirement, clarification, constraint, exclusion, and supersession, carrying only each requirement's current accepted form; retain direct requirements instead of substituting a diff summary, and exclude generic operational, status, delivery, and other scaffold boilerplate unless it is task-specific.
Do not hand-edit, commit, or fix findings yourself while a run is active - the pipeline applies every fix.

Two firstmate-specific rules layer on top of that guidance:
- ask-user findings are never yours to answer: escalate to firstmate (rule 6) and stop.
  Firstmate applies the authority contract in its `AGENTS.md` and obtains any required captain decision.
  When the decision comes back, feed it to the gate with `no-mistakes axi respond` and let the pipeline apply it - do not route the question to "the user" or implement the fix yourself.
- Avoid `--yes`: it would silently bypass firstmate's authority check and any required captain escalation.

If you cannot start or continue the run, append `blocked: {the exact error}` and stop, never `done:`.
If the run dies mid-pipeline, append `failed: {the exact error}` and stop, never stay silent.
After the run reports CI green (the CI-ready return point - do not wait for it to keep monitoring in the background until merge), append `done: PR {url} checks green` and stop. You are finished.

# Task
{TASK}

# Herdr lifecycle declaration - NOT ENABLED
**HARD SAFETY GATE:** this scaffold cannot inspect the task text that replaces `{TASK}` later.
If the task will start, stop, delete, restart, profile, or otherwise drive Herdr lifecycle behavior, stop and regenerate the brief with `--herdr-lab` before dispatch.
Do not add Herdr lifecycle commands to this unguarded brief by hand.

# Setup
You are in a disposable git worktree of demo-project, at a detached HEAD on a clean default branch.

**Verify isolation before anything else.** Run `pwd -P` and `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`; both must resolve to the disposable task worktree you were launched in, such as a treehouse pool path or an Orca-managed worktree, not the primary checkout firstmate operates from.
The path check is authoritative: `git rev-parse --git-dir` and `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` can help inspect the repo, but they do not prove you are outside the primary checkout.
If the top-level path is the primary checkout or not the worktree you were launched in, STOP - do not branch or commit here - append `blocked: launched in primary checkout, not an isolated worktree` to the status file and stop.

1. First action: create your branch: `git checkout -b fm/test-nomistakes`
2. Run `no-mistakes doctor`; if it reports the repo is not initialized here, run `no-mistakes init`.

# Rules
1. Never push to the default branch. Never merge a PR.
2. Stay inside this worktree; modify nothing outside it.
3. Use gh-axi for GitHub operations and chrome-devtools-axi for browser operations.
4. Report status by appending one line:
   `echo "{state}: {one short line}" >> '/tmp/test-fm-brief-evidence-65442/state/test-nomistakes.status'`
   States: working, needs-decision, blocked, paused, done, failed.
   Each append wakes firstmate, so report sparingly: only phase changes a supervisor
   would act on (setup done, bug reproduced, fix implemented, validation passed) and the
   needs-decision/blocked/paused/done/failed states. No step-by-step FYI progress lines;
   firstmate reads your pane for that.
   A mid-task `working:` line (including setup complete) is nonterminal: do not end the
   turn after it; continue the same stage until a defined `done:` gate under Definition of done.
   Use `paused: {why}` - distinct from `blocked:` - ONLY when you are deliberately idling on a
   known external wait you expect to clear on its own (an upstream release, a rate-limit reset,
   a scheduled window): firstmate then leaves your idle pane alone and rechecks it on a long
   cadence instead of treating it as a possible wedge. Use `blocked:` when you are stuck and need help.
5. If you hit the same obstacle twice, append `blocked: {why}` and stop; firstmate will help.
6. If a decision belongs above the implementation worker (product choices, destructive actions, ask-user findings),
   append `needs-decision: {summary of options}` and stop. Firstmate will apply the configured authority and reply with the decision.
   A decision or blocker you opened stays open until a `resolved` line carrying its exact key lands; a later `done:` or `working:` line never closes it, even when the answer is what started that work.
   Firstmate's reply normally writes that closing line at answer time; when a blocker or wait clears WITHOUT a firstmate reply, append `resolved: {how it cleared}` yourself (same `[key=<slug>]` if you opened it with one) as you resume.
7. Never stop, restart, or update the shared `no-mistakes` daemon - it is one instance serving
   every lane/home, so restarting it kills other lanes' in-flight pipeline runs. On ANY no-mistakes
   daemon error, append `blocked: {the daemon error}` and stop; only firstmate manages the daemon.

# Project memory
If `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` already exists, or if this task produced durable project-intrinsic knowledge, run `/home/paiva/.no-mistakes/worktrees/3437026af8a8/01M0B1AVKDKZA9A5DBD12CNP84/bin/fm-ensure-agents-md.sh .` in the worktree.
Record only project knowledge useful to almost every future session.
For anything the codebase already shows, prefer a pointer to the authoritative file, command, or doc over copying the detail.
If you touch a project `AGENTS.md` that lacks `## Maintaining this file`, add that short self-governance section from `/home/paiva/.no-mistakes/worktrees/3437026af8a8/01M0B1AVKDKZA9A5DBD12CNP84/bin/fm-ensure-agents-md.sh` in the same pass.
Keep it proportionate: skip `AGENTS.md` edits for trivial tasks that produced no durable project knowledge.
