+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# Quiet wrapper around scripts/agent-autofinish-watch.sh that surfaces stalled
+# agent/* worktrees. Prints nothing when everything's clean; prints a one-line
+# summary per stalled worktree + a finish hint when there's work to recover.
+#
+# Designed to be wired as a SessionStart hook so Claude Code (and the user)
+# learn about half-finished codex/claude agent runs at the top of each session.
+#
+# Exit codes:
+#   0 — no stalled worktrees (or watcher missing — soft fail)
+#   0 — even when stalled worktrees ARE detected (this is informational, not a hard error)
