fix(babysit): resolve merge conflicts against staging during the review loop

[TheodoreSpeaks]

Summary

• babysit's loop now checks PR mergeable state every iteration, not just at PR creation — a long-running loop spans hours during which staging can drift and produce a real conflict
• if the PR is CONFLICTING, resolve it before evaluating review threads: rebase onto origin/staging, resolve each conflicted file on its merits (never blanket --ours/--theirs), typecheck/lint the resolution, --force-with-lease push, then re-poll until mergeable settles back to MERGEABLE
• polls past mergeable: UNKNOWN instead of acting on it
• renumbered the loop steps, updated stop conditions / reporting / hard rules to cover the new conflict-handling path
• .claude/commands/babysit.md and .cursor/commands/babysit.md regenerated via bun run skills:sync from the canonical .agents/skills/babysit/SKILL.md

Type of Change

• Bug fix

Testing

Ran bun run lint and bun run check:api-validation:strict — both pass. Markdown-only change, no runtime surface to exercise.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Markdown-only changes to agent workflow documentation with no application runtime impact.

Overview
The babysit agent workflow now treats staging mergeability as part of every loop iteration, not only at ship time. The skill/command docs state that the branch should stay mergeable against staging while driving Greptile/Cursor review to a clean state.

Each loop pass starts with gh pr view --json mergeable. If the PR is CONFLICTING, that is handled before declaring success on Greptile 5/5 and resolved threads: merge origin/staging, resolve conflicts, run pre-push checks, push, then jump to re-trigger review (step 8). The former steps are renumbered (10-step loop).

Stop conditions now include a merge conflict that does not clear after two consecutive rounds with no progress, alongside the existing stuck-finding rule. The same edits are applied to the canonical .agents/skills/babysit/SKILL.md and the synced .claude/commands/babysit.md and .cursor/commands/babysit.md projections.
