Summary

  • Commit d688265 ([codex] fix agent-team manual workflow_dispatch inputs #69) introduced fail-loud behavior when workflow_dispatch inputs are missing — planner, implementer, and reviewer all now block immediately with 🛑 agent-team: workflow_dispatch inputs were not propagated. instead of silently inferring from labels.
  • The README noted the new contract (Input propagation gotcha) but left users without a concrete recovery path when they actually hit that block.
  • This PR adds a Troubleshooting section to catalog/agent-team/README.md with exact gh workflow run commands for each role, the pr_number variant for kickback retries, and how to read the current iteration value from the issue thread.

What changed

catalog/agent-team/README.md — new ## Troubleshooting section inserted before ## Limits and gotchas:

  • Explains the two most common root causes (GitHub UI "Run workflow" button; missing -f flags in a manual gh workflow run)
  • Shows copy-paste gh workflow run commands for all four triggerable roles (planner, implementer×2, reviewer)
  • Notes that pr_number is optional on first implementer attempt but required on kickback retries

Test plan

  • Read the new section end-to-end and verify every command matches the workflow_dispatch.inputs declarations in the four agent .md sources
  • Confirm tests/test-invariants.sh still passes (no invariant touches the new section)
  • Manually trigger a planner run omitting issue_number in a test repo and confirm the recovery steps match what the agent posts

Commit d688265 introduced fail-loud behavior when workflow_dispatch inputs
are missing (planner/implementer/reviewer). The README noted the contract
but didn't give users a concrete recovery path when they hit
'🛑 workflow_dispatch inputs were not propagated'.

Add a Troubleshooting section with:
- Explanation of the most common root causes (GitHub UI "Run workflow"
  button, missing -f flags in gh workflow run)
- Exact gh CLI commands for each role, including the pr_number variant
  for implementer kickback retries
- How to read the current iteration value from the issue thread
