What changed

Two documentation gaps addressed:

1. catalog/agent-team/README.md — Input propagation gotcha (mirrors d688265)

The "Limits and gotchas" entry for Input propagation previously said agents "must fail loudly if required inputs are missing" without explaining what that means in practice. Commit d688265 hardened all three dispatched agents (planner, implementer, reviewer) to:

  • Detect not just empty/missing inputs but also unresolved template literals (e.g. $\{\{ github.event.inputs.issue_number }})
  • Write a specific state:blocked + comment when issue_number is available
  • Call missing_data / report_incomplete when issue_number is itself absent

The updated gotcha documents all three behaviors and adds a concrete recovery path (gh workflow run <next-agent>.lock.yml -f issue_number=<N> -f iteration=<N>).

2. README.md — Add ## Publishing section

CONTRIBUTING.md:115 has pointed at README.md#publishing since the initial commit, but the section never existed — a dead internal link for any maintainer following the publish checklist. The new section documents the three-step release flow: bump version, create GitHub release, update external listings.

Testing

  • Both files render correctly in GitHub's Markdown preview.
  • No code changes; no skill reloads needed.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md#publishing link now resolves to the new section in README.md.

…g section

- Expand the "Input propagation" gotcha in catalog/agent-team/README.md to
  describe the concrete guard introduced in d688265: unresolved-literal
  detection, the exact state:blocked + comment written, and manual
  re-dispatch recovery steps.
- Add ## Publishing section to README.md to fix a broken internal link in
  CONTRIBUTING.md (line 115 has pointed to README.md#publishing since the
  initial commit, but the section never existed).
