Summary

Closes the agent edit-and-PR loop. After v0.6.3 the corvidagent could repo workspace + browse + files-edit files in another repo, but couldn't finish: shell-exec git push is auto-denied by merlin's Tier 1.5 gate, and prs create -R OWNER/NAME failed because gh couldn't infer the head branch from the wrong cwd.

Two missing primitives:

  1. repo workspace-push <DIR> [-b BRANCH] [-m MSG]

    • Same /tmp/fledge-gh-* safety guard as workspace + workspace-clean.
    • With -b: checks out / creates the branch.
    • With -m: stages and commits dirty changes (skips when clean — re-runs are idempotent).
    • Always: git push -u origin <current-branch>.
    • --json emits {branch, repo, path} so the agent can chain straight into prs create -R … -H ….
  2. prs create --head <BRANCH> — passes gh's --head through. Required for the post-workspace-push case where the agent's cwd is the merlin tree, not the cloned repo.

Plugin / arg descriptions surface the full five-step loop (workspace → edit → workspace-push → prs create → workspace-clean) so agents see the chain on the first attempt.

Test plan

  • bash -n clean
  • shellcheck --severity=warning clean
  • workspace-push errors clearly with missing DIR
  • workspace-push refuses non-/tmp/fledge-gh-* paths (safety guard)
  • --help includes the new actions + flags
  • CI green
  • No real-remote integration test in this PR — would push a junk branch to a shared repo. Smoke verified by the agent's own next Discord session against corvid-verify.

In v0.6.3 the agent could clone a workspace, browse it, and edit
files. But the loop ended there: `shell-exec git push` is auto-denied
by merlin's Tier 1.5 gate, and `prs create -R OWNER/NAME` failed
because gh couldn't infer the head branch from the wrong cwd. Agents
got 90% of the way and stalled at "give me push permissions."

Two missing primitives, one PR:

1. `repo workspace-push <DIR> [-b BRANCH] [-m MSG]`
   - Same /tmp/fledge-gh-* safety guard as workspace + workspace-clean.
   - With -b: checks out the branch (creating from HEAD if new), so
     agents can name a feature branch in one call.
   - With -m: stages everything and commits if the tree is dirty.
     Skips the commit on a clean tree so re-runs are idempotent.
   - Always: `git push -u origin <current-branch>`.
   - --json emits {branch, repo, path} so the agent can chain straight
     into `prs create -R … -H …`.

2. `prs create --head <BRANCH>` — passes gh's --head through. Required
   for the post-workspace-push case where the agent's cwd is the
   merlin tree, not the cloned repo, so gh has no local context to
   guess from.

Plugin / arg descriptions in plugin.toml updated with the full
five-step loop as an example so agents see the chain on the first
attempt.

No real-remote smoke test in CI — would push a junk branch to a
shared repo. Verified locally: syntax + shellcheck clean, safety
guards reject non-/tmp paths, --help text correct.
