Add `ao spawn` + `ao project add` (spawn a real worker end-to-end) (#77)
* Add `ao spawn` and `ao project add`; resolve project repos for worktrees

Make a registered project spawnable end-to-end from the CLI:

- DB-backed RepoResolver: the daemon resolves a project's on-disk repo
  path from the projects table (replacing the empty StaticRepoResolver
  that failed every lookup), so a session's worktree is cut from the
  right repo.
- session_manager defaults an empty spawn branch to ao/<session-id> — a
  fresh, unique branch per session, since gitworktree can't reuse a
  branch already checked out elsewhere (e.g. main).
- `ao project add --path <repo>`: register a local git repo (POST /api/v1/projects).
- `ao spawn --project <id> [--harness] [--branch] [--prompt] [--issue]`:
  spawn a worker session (POST /api/v1/sessions); harness defaults to the
  daemon's AO_AGENT.
- Shared postJSON daemon client (reads the run-file for the port, surfaces
  the API error envelope).

Stacked on #65, which lands the agent-adapter + session-manager wiring
this depends on.

* Address Copilot review on #77

- `ao spawn` no longer prints a branch the sessions API doesn't return
  (session metadata is json:"-"), so the output is no longer misleading.
- Unregistered/archived/no-path projects now surface a 400
  PROJECT_NOT_RESOLVABLE with an actionable message instead of a generic
  500: a new sessionmanager.ErrProjectNotResolvable sentinel the resolver
  wraps and writeSessionError maps.
- postJSON reuses the injected Deps.HTTPClient (cloned, with a longer
  timeout) instead of a fresh client, keeping HTTP behaviour stubbable.
- postJSON treats a stale run-file (dead PID) as "not running" via
  ProcessAlive, matching its docstring.

* Assert the project-not-resolvable sentinel in the resolver test

Greptile review: harden TestProjectRepoResolver to verify the unregistered
-project error wraps ErrProjectNotResolvable, so a future regression in the
sentinel wrapping (which the HTTP 400 mapping relies on) is caught.

* Fix ao spawn 500 on long session ids (zellij socket-path overflow)

Root cause: the daemon built the zellij runtime with an empty SocketDir,
so zellij fell back to its $TMPDIR-based default (long on macOS). That
left almost none of the ~103-byte unix-socket-path budget for the session
name, so a long session id (e.g. "aoagents-agent-orchestrator-1", derived
from a long project id) was rejected by zellij with "session name must be
less than 0 characters". runtime.Create failed, the spawn 500'd, and the
worktree was rolled back (leaving an orphan ao/ branch).

- New zellij.DefaultSocketDir(): a short, stable per-user socket dir
  (/tmp/ao-zellij-<uid>); the daemon uses it (and MkdirAll's it).
- ao spawn's attach hint now prefixes ZELLIJ_SOCKET_DIR so it stays
  copy-pasteable against the daemon's socket dir.
- Regression test guards that the socket dir leaves >= 48 bytes for the
  session name within the 103-byte limit.

Verified: ao spawn against a long-id project now succeeds (session live,
worktree created) where it previously 500'd.

* test(cli): guard CLI/daemon DTO drift with an e2e round-trip

The CLI keeps its own request structs (spawnRequest, addProjectRequest)
separate from the daemon's canonical DTOs (controllers.SpawnSessionRequest,
project.AddInput). Nothing verified the JSON field names agreed, so a renamed
tag on either side would compile but break at runtime.

Drive `ao spawn` and `ao project add` through the real httpd router and
controllers (fakes only at the service layer) over a real loopback round trip
via postJSON, asserting each field decodes into the right SpawnConfig/AddInput
field. Runs in the normal test lane (no extra ports/processes).

* fix(cli,daemon): address review findings on ao spawn

- spawn: print the sanitised zellij session name (zellij.SessionName) in the
  attach hint; a long/non-conforming session id is registered under a different
  name, so the raw id sent users to a missing session.
- client: surface the daemon error envelope's requestId so a failed command can
  be correlated with daemon logs.
- daemon: don't swallow the zellij socket-dir MkdirAll error — log it, since a
  failure otherwise surfaces later as an opaque socket-bind error on every spawn.
- project: reject an embedded ".." in a project id up front; it passed the id
  pattern but yielded an invalid branch (ao/a..b-1) and an opaque 500 at spawn.

README.md

agent-orchestrator

Rewrite of the agent-orchestrator: a long-running Go backend daemon (backend/)
paired with a placeholder Electron + TypeScript frontend shell (frontend/).

See docs/ for architecture and status — start with the
Lifecycle Manager + Session Service lane in docs/architecture.md.

Backend daemon

The Go backend now has a Cobra-based ao CLI in backend/cmd/ao.
The CLI controls the HTTP daemon — a loopback-only sidecar the Electron
supervisor will also use. The daemon skeleton includes the chi router,
middleware stack (recoverer → request-id → logger → real-ip), /healthz +
/readyz, atomic running.json PID/port handshake, graceful shutdown on
SIGINT/SIGTERM, SQLite storage, CDC polling, and lifecycle/reaper wiring.

Run

cd backend
go run ./cmd/ao start             # start the daemon and wait for readiness
go run ./cmd/ao status            # inspect PID/port/health/readiness
go run ./cmd/ao stop              # gracefully stop the daemon
go run ./cmd/ao daemon            # internal daemon entrypoint

go run .                          # compatibility wrapper; starts the daemon
AO_PORT=3019 go run ./cmd/ao start # override per invocation

Health check:

curl localhost:3001/healthz       # includes status/service/pid
curl localhost:3001/readyz        # includes status/service/pid

Configuration (env only)

The bind host is always 127.0.0.1: the daemon is a loopback-only sidecar
and binding any other interface would be a security regression, so the host
is intentionally not env-configurable.

Var Default Purpose
AO_PORT 3001 bind port; fails fast if taken
AO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT 60s per-request timeout (Go duration)
AO_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT 10s graceful-shutdown hard cap
AO_RUN_FILE <UserConfigDir>/agent-orchestrator/running.json PID + port handshake path
AO_DATA_DIR <UserConfigDir>/agent-orchestrator/data SQLite DB, WAL files, and managed state

Test

npm run lint
# optional deeper backend pass:
cd backend && go test -race ./...
