chore(agent): add Operations & Debug Runbook to ephemerd-engineer.md#76
Merged
Conversation
The agent definition was architecture-only; first-time agents kept re-deriving the same operational checks. This adds a runbook section covering what's worth knowing on day 1: how to inspect a live install (`ephemerd status|jobs|logs|doctor`), service control (the wrapper commands beat poking sc.exe/systemctl/launchctl directly), the relevant filesystem paths, the build+deploy loop on Windows, App-vs-PAT auth precedence and triage, the documented `mage ci` cgo workaround on Windows hosts (GOOS=linux lint + compile-only test), what a clean job lifecycle looks like in the log for grep-by-job-id, and the worktree/backdate/no-_= conventions from operator memory. Also covers the CI matrix gating (PR #75) so the next agent doesn't chase "Pending" arm64/macOS checks expecting them to resolve. The stale "Current Branch: feat/windows-support" trailer is left in place — separate cleanup.

Summary
The Ephemerd Engineer agent file was architecture-only. Adds an Operations & Debug Runbook section covering what an agent that just walked into the project needs to know on day 1, captured from one full debugging session that re-derived all of this from scratch.
Sections added:
Stale `Current Branch: feat/windows-support` trailer at the bottom of the file is left as-is — separate cleanup.
