refactor(captain): off deleted dispatch.sh → PushNotification + GitHub Issues + Slack MCP

[abdout]

Why

PR #111 hard-deleted .claude/scripts/dispatch.sh, but captain.md + cowork-bridge.md + 7 product docs still referenced it. Captain would error at runtime when trying to dispatch. This PR completes the anthropic-native cutover.

Closes #112

Native replacements

Old function	Native replacement
Push to Abdout's iPhone	PushNotification tool → Anthropic mobile app
Async team comms	GitHub Issues (priority/blocking, priority/decision, from-captain, from-abdout labels) + Slack MCP (/slack send)
Cowork ↔ Code handoff	~/.claude/bridge.md (promoted from secondary to primary)
Captain weekly digest	Slack #general via slack MCP + PushNotification ping to Abdout

.claude/agents/captain.md — 10 edit sites

• Added PushNotification to tools: array (frontmatter)
• Session-start protocol: dispatch.sh read inbox/cowork → read bridge.md + gh issue list --label from-abdout,priority/blocking
• ACT items: dispatch_to_team_via_slack_or_apple_notes → notify_team_via_slack_mcp_or_pushnotification_to_abdout_mobile
• Escalation channel paragraph rewritten as 3-step native escalation:
  1. PushNotification to mobile (instant)
  2. GitHub issue with priority/blocking (24h) or priority/decision (72h) label
  3. Slack DM via slack MCP (team-visible)
     24h/72h follow-up cadence preserved
• Monday plan + Friday review: Apple Notes dispatch lines → Slack post + push
• Channel 1 section completely rewritten: Native Push + Cowork Bridge (PushNotification + bridge.md + GitHub Issues from-abdout)
• Autopilot CAN: dropped Apple Notes; explicit grants for PushNotification, bridge.md, Slack MCP
• Cross-agent example "Ahmed Baha re-engagement" updated: dispatch [decision] → PushNotification(title=..., body=...) + companion GitHub issue (durable record)

.claude/rules/cowork-bridge.md

• Capability table: dropped Apple Notes row, added PushNotification + Slack MCP rows
• Session-start: dropped dispatch.sh read; added gh issue list --label from-abdout,priority/blocking for both Code + Cowork sessions
• "Apple Notes (Code-Only)" section → "Reaching Abdout asynchronously" with 4 native primitives

7 product docs swept

File	Change
content/docs/captain.mdx	3-channel summary updated
content/docs/cowork.mdx	Shared State table, handoff examples, both session-start protocols
content/docs/workflows.mdx	Channel 1 table
content/docs/architecture.mdx	3-channel comm table + bridge flow narrative
content/docs/slack.mdx	dispatch slack bash snippet → /slack send MCP
content/docs/voice.mdx	"read latest dispatch" → "read latest weekly file"
content/docs/tips.mdx	Phone→desktop remote-control example uses GitHub issue with from-abdout label

Memory files left alone

.claude/memory/* (learnings.md, risks.json, 1on1/, decisions/) reference Apple Notes/dispatch historically — these are intentional record per issue #112 acceptance criteria. They document what was, not what is.

Exit gates

```bash

No dispatch.sh refs outside memory/

grep -rnE 'dispatch.sh' .claude content | grep -vE '/memory/|/legacy/'

✅ empty

No Apple Notes refs outside memory/ (except the deliberate "No Apple Notes" line in onboarding.mdx)

grep -rinE 'apple notes|dispatch/(captain|cowork|inbox)' .claude content | grep -vE '/memory/'

✅ only onboarding.mdx:267 "No Tailscale, no Apple Notes..." (intentional)

```

Test plan

• Captain agent loads cleanly: claude --agent captain — frontmatter parses, all referenced tools present
• Mock Monday cycle: captain reads session-start sources, allocates team, posts to Slack #general (via mock), sends PushNotification (verify via Anthropic mobile app)
• Mock escalation: captain decides "King Fahad re-engagement", sends PushNotification + creates priority/decision,from-captain GitHub issue — both arrive
• pnpm build of docs site green

Net

9 files changed, +84 / -69 lines. Net +15 (more verbose native references replace concise bash one-liners).
