Follows the behavioral fix in #69 (fail loud on missing workflow_dispatch inputs; harden optional implementer pr_number). The code already implements the correct behavior — this PR brings the documentation up to date.

What changed

catalog/agent-team/README.md — three targeted additions:

  1. Manual dispatch input table (new, in "Kicking off a task" step 4): a quick-reference table listing required vs. optional inputs for each role (planner-agent, implementer-agent, reviewer-agent), including the pr_number blank-vs-set semantics for the implementer.

  2. Blocked-by-missing-inputs recovery note (new, in "Retrying a blocked task" step 5): distinguishes a block caused by missing dispatch inputs (re-dispatch the stuck role only) from a human-added block (re-add the agent-team label from scratch).

  3. Expanded "Input propagation" gotcha: replaces the terse one-liner with the exact error message users will see (🛑 agent-team: workflow_dispatch inputs were not propagated) and a cross-reference to the new input table.

Why

Before this PR, a user who hit the "not propagated" blocked state had no documentation telling them:

  • Which inputs are required for each role
  • What the blocked comment message would say
  • That re-dispatching only the stuck role (not re-running spec-agent) is the correct recovery

Testing

No behavior changes — documentation only. Verified Markdown renders correctly in preview.

Add a per-role input reference table to the "Kicking off a task"
section so users know exactly which inputs are required vs optional
when manually re-dispatching planner, implementer, or reviewer.

Document the exact blocked-state error message and how to recover
from a `state:blocked` caused by missing dispatch inputs (as
opposed to a human-added block), since the recovery path differs.

Expand the "Input propagation" gotcha to include the failure
message and cross-reference the new table.

Follows the behavioral fix in #69 (fail loud on missing
workflow_dispatch inputs, harden optional implementer pr_number).
