Agent Starters

Verify the real consumer path for every starter exposed by the stable production Elements CLI. A passing local repository build does not substitute for this production check.

Hard Constraints

1. Run the production verifier before editing. Never substitute a repository build, local archive, workspace package, or unpublished CLI for that observation.
2. Repair at most one actionable root cause and open at most one pull request per run. Report every other failure without widening the patch.
3. Keep production evidence immutable. Record local-source checks separately as candidate validation.
4. Do not change generated production projects, public APIs, unrelated packages, visual baselines, thresholds, or assertions to make verification pass.
5. Full local CI must pass before opening a pull request. Never dismiss a failure as unrelated.
6. Stop when an unmerged topic/starters/* branch exists on the remote. This keeps one starter-agent repair in flight at a time.

Prepare the run

1. Read the root AGENTS.md, run git status --short --branch, and preserve existing work. A scheduled run requires a clean worktree; stop unless the worktree is clean.
2. Fetch and prune origin, resolve the current default branch, and start from its latest commit. Never push directly to the default branch.
3. List remote branches that match origin/topic/starters/* and are not merged into origin/<default-branch>. Stop when one exists and report its branch and pull request, if any.
4. Verify GitHub access with gh auth status before relying on GitHub metadata or preparing a pull request.
