chore(.dev): run wrapper from REPO_ROOT to survive stale-PR checkouts#55
Merged
Conversation
When the agent does `gh pr checkout <stale-PR>` on a Dependabot branch forked before `.dev/` was merged to main, `.dev/` is unlinked from disk. If the wrapper's cwd is `.dev/`, the shell's $PWD becomes a dead inode and every subsequent command — including the queue's `gh pr list` — fails with "Unable to read current working directory." Switch the wrapper to cd into REPO_ROOT at startup and reference prompt files via $SCRIPT_DIR/. REPO_ROOT survives any branch switch the agent makes inside its session. This also fixes the agent's own bash cwd (it inherits the wrapper's cwd via the claude subprocess), so the dance where the agent had to spawn a worktree subagent as a workaround goes away.

Combines #52 and #53 into a single PR off main, avoiding the rebase cascade after #44/#42/#54/#55 churn. Both are mechanical pnpm.overrides additions: - protobufjs ^7.5.6 — clears alerts #7-14 (GHSA-q6x5-8v7m-xcrf, GHSA-jvwf-75h9-cwgg, GHSA-75px-5xx7-5xc7, GHSA-fx83-v9x8-x52w, GHSA-2pr8-phx7-x9h3, GHSA-66ff-xgx4-vchm, GHSA-685m-2w69-288q). Reached via posthog-js OTLP exporter; not directly imported by our app. - fast-xml-builder ^1.1.7 — clears alerts #3, #4 (GHSA-5wm8-gmm8-39j9, GHSA-45c6-75p6-83cc). Reached via @opennextjs/cloudflare → AWS SDK build/deploy tooling; not directly used. Replaces #52, #53. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Root-causes the "Unable to read current working directory" failure exposed by #54's better error reporting.
When the agent does `gh pr checkout ` on a Dependabot branch forked before `.dev/` was merged to main, `.dev/` is unlinked from disk. If the wrapper's cwd is `.dev/`, the shell's `$PWD` becomes a dead inode and every subsequent command fails — `git` errors with the message above, `gh pr list` fails through it, the queue check exits.
Fix: cd into `REPO_ROOT` at startup instead of `SCRIPT_DIR`. Reference prompt files via `$SCRIPT_DIR/` absolute paths. `REPO_ROOT` is stable across any branch switch.
This also fixes the agent's own bash cwd (it inherits the wrapper's cwd via the `claude` subprocess) — so the workaround where the agent spawned a worktree subagent after its own shell broke goes away too. Faster sessions, no orphan worktrees.
