Agents were skipping the pre-flight curl/gh check for in-progress work,
causing duplicate task runs. Root causes:
1. Two-document indirection (meta prompt → scheduler) caused the pre-flight
instructions to get lost when the agent opened the second file
2. No proof-of-execution gate — agents could assert "no conflicts" without
actually running the commands
3. curl|jq pipeline silently fails when jq is unavailable
4. "Step 0" labeling felt like skippable preamble
Changes:
- Make the commands the literal first instruction ("run NOW, paste output")
- Use gh CLI as primary (authenticated, no jq needed), curl as fallback
- Require raw terminal output pasted before proceeding (output gate)
- Rename "Step 0" to "PRE-FLIGHT GATE" to signal it's not optional
- Eliminate duplication between meta prompt and scheduler files
- Add explicit "STOP HERE" checkpoint after command execution
- Add skip-ahead clause for agents arriving from meta prompt

Replace shared CSV files (AGENT_TASK_LOG.csv, WEEKLY_AGENT_TASK_LOG.csv)
with per-entry files in docs/agents/task-logs/{daily,weekly}/. Each log
entry is now a separate file named YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS_<agent>_<status>.md,
eliminating git merge conflicts and race conditions when multiple agents
run concurrently.
Updated files:
- daily-scheduler.md: rewritten for directory-based log format
- weekly-scheduler.md: rewritten for directory-based log format
- META_PROMPTS.md: updated pre-flight scan and claiming instructions
- AGENTS.md: updated scheduler reference from CSV to directory-based
Migrated all existing CSV entries to individual files in the new
directory structure.

- Move `CONTEXT.md`, `TODO.md`, `DECISIONS.md`, `TEST_LOG.md` to `context/`, `todo/`, `decisions/`, `test_logs/` directories with timestamps.
- Update `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` to define the new workflow: agents must read the latest timestamped file and create a new one when updating.
- Update `daily-scheduler.md` and `weekly-scheduler.md` to initialize tasks using the new file structure.
- Update all daily agent prompts to reference the new directory structure.
- This change prevents merge conflicts on persistent state files by treating them as an append-only log of snapshots.

Agents were repeatedly picking up content-audit-agent because:
1. CSV only updated after task completion — crashes left no trace
2. PR claim check (Step 1.5) was buried and easy to skip
3. No "started" status meant failed runs were invisible to rotation
4. Pre-flight scan was too narrow (checked one agent, not all)
Changes:
- Add Step 0 (mandatory pre-flight) that scans ALL open PRs and CSV
for in-progress work before selecting any task
- Introduce "started" CSV status logged immediately upon claiming,
before task execution begins — ensures rotation advances on crash
- Promote claim check from sub-step 1.5 to full Step 2 with explicit
MANDATORY warnings
- Add 24-hour stale claim timeout for abandoned "started" entries
- Add fallback: if gh is unavailable, CSV "started" rows still work
- Strengthen META_PROMPTS.md to front-load deduplication as Step 0
with explicit "this has happened before" warning language
- Add Quick Reference table summarizing all 5 deduplication layers

When multiple agents (Claude Code, Codex, Jules) run schedulers concurrently,
they can pick up the same task because neither has committed yet. This adds a
"Draft PR Lock" protocol: agents must check for and create a draft PR before
starting work, acting as a distributed lock visible to all platforms.
Changes:
- AGENTS.md §12: new "Task Claiming Protocol" subsection with check/claim/race
handling steps
- daily-scheduler.md: new Step 1.5 with concrete gh CLI commands
- weekly-scheduler.md: same Step 1.5 addition

Add a new daily agent whose job is to keep the daily and weekly scheduler
rosters in sync with the actual prompt files on disk. It scans the prompt
directories, diffs against the roster tables, and applies additions,
removals, or filename corrections as needed.
- New file: docs/agents/prompts/daily/bitvid-scheduler-update-agent.md
- Updated daily-scheduler.md roster (20 -> 21 agents)
