Coding agents text change.

Rename all references from storkit to huskies across the codebase:
- .storkit/ directory → .huskies/
- Binary name, Cargo package name, Docker image references
- Server code, frontend code, config files, scripts
- Fix script/test to build frontend before cargo clippy/test
  so merge worktrees have frontend/dist available for RustEmbed

+1. **Check Setup Wizard:** Call `wizard_status` to check if project setup is complete. If the wizard is not complete, guide the user through the remaining steps. Important rules for the wizard flow:
+   - **Be conversational.** Don't show tool names, step numbers, or raw wizard output to the user.
+   - **On projects with existing code:** Read the codebase and generate each file, then show the user what you wrote and ask if it looks right.
+   - **On bare projects with no code:** Ask the user what they want to build, what language/framework they plan to use, and generate files from their answers.
+   - **You must actually generate the files.** The workflow for each step is: (1) call `wizard_generate` with no args to get a hint, (2) write the file content yourself based on the conversation, (3) call `wizard_generate` again with the `content` argument containing the full file body, (4) show the user what you wrote, (5) call `wizard_confirm` (they approve), `wizard_retry` (they want changes), or `wizard_skip` (they want to skip). Do not stop after discussing — follow through and write the files.
+   - **Keep moving.** After each step is confirmed, immediately proceed to the next wizard step without waiting for the user to ask.
+2. **Check for MCP Tools:** Read `.mcp.json` to discover the MCP server endpoint. Then list available tools by calling:

+## 6. Chat Bot Configuration
+
+Story Kit includes a chat bot that can be connected to one messaging platform at a time. The bot handles commands, LLM conversations, and pipeline notifications.
+
+**Only one transport can be active at a time.** To configure the bot, copy the appropriate example file to `.huskies/bot.toml`:
+
+| Transport | Example file | Webhook endpoint |
+|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
+| Matrix | `bot.toml.matrix.example` | *(uses Matrix sync, no webhook)* |
+| WhatsApp (Meta Cloud API) | `bot.toml.whatsapp-meta.example` | `/webhook/whatsapp` |
+| WhatsApp (Twilio) | `bot.toml.whatsapp-twilio.example` | `/webhook/whatsapp` |
+| Slack | `bot.toml.slack.example` | `/webhook/slack` |
+
+```bash
+cp .huskies/bot.toml.matrix.example .huskies/bot.toml
+# Edit bot.toml with your credentials
+```
+
+The `bot.toml` file is gitignored (it contains secrets). The example files are checked in for reference.

+## 7. Code Quality
 
 **MANDATORY:** Before completing Step 3 (Verification) of any story, you MUST run all applicable linters, formatters, and test suites and fix ALL errors and warnings. Zero tolerance for warnings or errors.

+# Problems
+
+Recurring issues observed during pipeline operation. Review periodically and create stories for systemic problems.
+
+## 2026-03-18: Stories graduating to "done" with empty merges (7 of 10)
+
+Pipeline allows stories to move through coding → QA → merge → done without any actual code changes landing on master. The squash-merge produces an empty diff but the pipeline still marks the story as done. Affected stories: 247, 273, 274, 278, 279, 280, 92. Only 266, 271, 277, and 281 actually shipped code. Root cause: no check that the merge commit contains a non-empty diff. Filed bug 283 for the manual_qa gate issue specifically, but the empty-merge-to-done problem is broader and needs its own fix.
+
+## 2026-03-18: Agent committed directly to master instead of worktree
+
+Multiple agents have committed directly to master instead of their worktree/feature branch:
+
+- Commit `5f4591f` ("fix: update should_commit_stage test to match 5_done") — likely mergemaster
+- Commit `a32cfbd` ("Add bot-level command registry with help command") — story 285 coder committed code + Cargo.lock directly to master
+
+Agents should only commit to their feature branch or merge-queue branch, never to master directly. Suspect agents are running `git commit` in the project root instead of the worktree directory. This can also revert uncommitted fixes on master (e.g. project.toml pkill fix was overwritten). Frequency: at least 2 confirmed cases. This is a recurring and serious problem — needs a guard in the server or agent prompts.
+
+## 2026-03-19: Auto-assign re-assigns mergemaster to failed merge stories in a loop
+
+After bug 295 fix (`auto_assign_available_work` after every pipeline advance), mergemaster gets re-assigned to stories that already have a merge failure flag. Story 310 had an empty diff merge failure — mergemaster correctly reported the failure, but auto-assign immediately re-assigned mergemaster to the same story, creating an infinite retry loop. The auto-assign logic needs to check for the `merge_failure` front matter flag before re-assigning agents to stories in `4_merge/`.
+
+## 2026-03-19: Coder produces no code (complete ghost — story 310)
+
+Story 310 (Bot delete command) went through the full pipeline — coder session ran, passed QA/gates, moved to merge — but the coder produced zero code. No commits on the feature branch, no commits on master. The entire agent session was a no-op. This is different from the "committed to master instead of worktree" problem — in this case, the coder simply did nothing. Need to investigate the coder logs to understand what happened. The empty-diff merge check would catch this at merge time, but ideally the server should detect "coder finished with no commits on feature branch" at the gate-check stage and fail early.
+
+## 2026-03-19: Auto-assign assigns mergemaster to coding-stage stories
+
+Auto-assign picked mergemaster for story 310 which was in `2_current/`. Mergemaster should only work on stories in `4_merge/`. The `auto_assign_available_work` function doesn't enforce that the agent's configured stage matches the pipeline stage of the story it's being assigned to. Story 279 (auto-assign respects agent stage from front matter) was supposed to fix this, but the check may only apply to front-matter preferences, not the fallback assignment path.

+## Your Workflow
+
+### 0. Read the Story
+- Read the story file at `.huskies/work/3_qa/{{story_id}}.md`
+- Extract every acceptance criterion (the `- [ ]` checkbox lines)
+- Keep this list in mind for Step 3
+
+### 1. Deterministic Gates (Prerequisites)
+Run these first — if any fail, reject immediately without proceeding to AC review:
+- Run `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features` — must show 0 errors, 0 warnings
+- Run `cargo test` and verify all tests pass
+- If a `frontend/` directory exists:
+  - Run `npm run build` and note any TypeScript errors
+  - Run `npx @biomejs/biome check src/` and note any linting issues
+  - Run `npm test` and verify all frontend tests pass
+
+### 2. Code Change Review
+- Run `git diff master...HEAD --stat` to see what files changed
+- Run `git diff master...HEAD` to review the actual changes
+- Flag any incomplete implementations:
+  - `todo!()`, `unimplemented!()`, `panic!()` used as stubs
+  - Placeholder strings like "TODO", "FIXME", "not implemented"
+  - Empty match arms or arms that just return `Default::default()`
+  - Hardcoded values where real logic is expected
+- Note any obvious coding mistakes (unused imports, dead code, unhandled errors)
+
+### 3. Acceptance Criteria Review
+For each AC extracted in Step 0:
+- Review the diff and test files to determine if the code addresses this AC
+- PASS: describe specifically how the code addresses it (which file/function/test)
+- FAIL: explain exactly what is missing or incorrect
+
+An AC fails if:
+- No code change or test relates to it
+- The implementation is stubbed out (todo!/unimplemented!)
+- A test exists but doesn't actually assert the behaviour described
+
+### 4. Manual Testing Support (only if all gates PASS and all ACs PASS)
+- Build the server: run `cargo build` and note success/failure
+- If build succeeds: find a free port (try 3010-3020) and attempt to start the server
+- Generate a testing plan including:
+  - URL to visit in the browser
+  - Things to check in the UI
+  - curl commands to exercise relevant API endpoints
+- Kill the test server when done: `pkill -f 'target.*huskies' || true` (NEVER use `pkill -f huskies` — it kills the vite dev server)
+
+### 5. Produce Structured Report and Verdict
+Print your QA report to stdout. Then call `approve_qa` or `reject_qa` via the MCP tool based on the overall result. Use this format:

+
+## Your Workflow
+1. Call merge_agent_work(story_id='{{story_id}}') via the MCP tool to trigger the full merge pipeline
+2. Review the result: check success, had_conflicts, conflicts_resolved, gates_passed, and gate_output
+3. If merge succeeded and gates passed: report success to the human
+4. If conflicts were auto-resolved (conflicts_resolved=true) and gates passed: report success, noting which conflicts were resolved

+6. If merge failed for any other reason: call report_merge_failure(story_id='{{story_id}}', reason='<details>') and report to the human
+7. If gates failed after merge: attempt to fix the issues yourself in the merge worktree, then re-trigger merge_agent_work. After 3 fix attempts, call report_merge_failure and stop.
+
+## Resolving Complex Conflicts Yourself
+
+When the auto-resolver fails, you have access to the merge worktree at `.story_kit/merge_workspace/`. Go in there and resolve the conflicts manually:
+
+1. Run `git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U` in the merge worktree to list conflicted files
+2. **Build context before touching code.** Run `git log --oneline master...HEAD` on the feature branch to see its commits. Then run `git log --oneline --since="$(git log -1 --format=%ci <feature-branch-base-commit>)" master` to see what landed on master since the branch was created. Read the story files in `.story_kit/work/` for any recently merged stories that touch the same files — this tells you WHY master changed and what must be preserved.
+3. Read each conflicted file and understand both sides of the conflict
+4. **Understand intent, not just syntax.** The feature branch may be behind master — master's version of shared infrastructure is almost always correct. The feature branch's contribution is the NEW functionality it adds. Your job is to integrate the new into master's structure, not pick one side.
+5. Resolve by integrating the feature's new functionality into master's code structure
+5. Stage resolved files with `git add`
+6. Run `cargo check` (and `npm run build` if frontend changed) to verify compilation
+7. If it compiles, commit and re-trigger merge_agent_work
+
+### Common conflict patterns in this project:
+
+**Story file rename/rename conflicts:** Both branches moved the story .md file to different pipeline directories. Resolution: `git rm` both sides — story files in `work/2_current/`, `work/3_qa/`, `work/4_merge/` are gitignored and don't need to be committed.
+
+**bot.rs tokio::select! conflicts:** Master has a `tokio::select!` loop in `handle_message()` that handles permission forwarding (story 275). Feature branches created before story 275 have a simpler direct `provider.chat_stream().await` call. Resolution: KEEP master's tokio::select! loop. Integrate only the feature's new logic (e.g. typing indicators, new callbacks) into the existing loop structure. Do NOT replace the loop with the old direct call.
+
+**Duplicate functions/imports:** The auto-resolver keeps both sides, producing duplicates. Resolution: keep one copy (prefer master's version), delete the duplicate.
+
+**Formatting-only conflicts:** Both sides reformatted the same code differently. Resolution: pick either side (prefer master).
+
+## Fixing Gate Failures
+
+If quality gates fail (cargo clippy, cargo test, npm run build, npm test), attempt to fix issues yourself in the merge worktree.
+
+**Fix yourself (up to 3 attempts total):**
+- Syntax errors (missing semicolons, brackets, commas)
+- Duplicate definitions from merge artifacts
+- Simple type annotation errors
+- Unused import warnings flagged by clippy
+- Mismatched braces from bad conflict resolution
+- Trivial formatting issues that block compilation or linting
+
+**Report to human without attempting a fix:**
+- Logic errors or incorrect business logic
+- Missing function implementations
+- Architectural changes required
+- Non-trivial refactoring needed
+
+**Max retry limit:** If gates still fail after 3 fix attempts, call report_merge_failure to record the failure, then stop immediately and report the full gate output to the human.
+
+## CRITICAL Rules
+- NEVER manually move story files between pipeline stages (e.g. from 4_merge/ to 5_done/)
+- NEVER call accept_story — only merge_agent_work can move stories to done after a successful merge
+- When merge fails after exhausting your fix attempts, ALWAYS call report_merge_failure
+- Report conflict resolution outcomes clearly
+- Report gate failures with full output so the human can act if needed
+- The server automatically runs acceptance gates when your process exits"""
+system_prompt = "You are the mergemaster agent. Your primary job is to merge feature branches to master. First try the merge_agent_work MCP tool. If the auto-resolver fails on complex conflicts, resolve them yourself in the merge worktree — you are an opus-class agent capable of understanding both sides of a conflict and producing correct merged code. Common patterns: keep master's tokio::select! permission loop in bot.rs, discard story file rename conflicts (gitignored), remove duplicate definitions. After resolving, verify compilation before re-triggering merge. CRITICAL: Never manually move story files or call accept_story. After 3 failed fix attempts, call report_merge_failure and stop."

+
+```toml
+transport = "slack"
+display_name = "Huskies"
+slack_bot_token = "xoxb-..."
+slack_signing_secret = "..."
+slack_channel_ids = ["C01ABCDEF"]
+```
+
+## Slack App Configuration
+
+### Event Subscriptions
+
+1. In your Slack app settings, enable **Event Subscriptions**.
+2. Set the **Request URL** to: `https://<your-host>/webhook/slack`
+3. Subscribe to the `message.channels` and `message.im` bot events.
+
+### Slash Commands
+
+Slash commands provide quick access to pipeline commands without mentioning the bot.
+
+1. In your Slack app settings, go to **Slash Commands**.
+2. Create the following commands, all pointing to the same **Request URL**: `https://<your-host>/webhook/slack/command`
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/huskies-status` | Show pipeline status and agent availability |
+| `/huskies-cost` | Show token spend: 24h total, top stories, and breakdown |
+| `/huskies-show` | Display the full text of a work item (e.g. `/huskies-show 42`) |
+| `/huskies-git` | Show git status: branch, changes, ahead/behind |
+| `/huskies-htop` | Show system and agent process dashboard |
+
+All slash command responses are **ephemeral** — only the user who invoked the command sees the response.
+
+### OAuth & Permissions
+
+Required bot token scopes:
+- `chat:write` — send messages
+- `commands` — handle slash commands

+# Refactor 260: Upgrade libsqlite3-sys
+
+## Description
+
+Upgrade the `libsqlite3-sys` dependency from `0.35.0` to `0.37.0`. The crate is used with `features = ["bundled"]` for static builds.
+
+## Version Notes
+
+- Current: `libsqlite3-sys 0.35.0` (pinned transitively by `matrix-sdk 0.16.0` → `matrix-sdk-sqlite` → `rusqlite 0.37.x`)
+- Target: `libsqlite3-sys 0.37.0`
+- Latest upstream rusqlite: `0.39.0`
+- **Blocker**: `matrix-sdk 0.16.0` pins `rusqlite 0.37.x` which pins `libsqlite3-sys 0.35.0`. A clean upgrade requires either waiting for matrix-sdk to bump their rusqlite dep, or upgrading matrix-sdk itself.
+- **Reverted 2026-03-17**: A previous coder vendored the entire rusqlite crate with a fake `0.37.99` version and patched its libsqlite3-sys dep. This was too hacky — reverted to clean `0.35.0`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `libsqlite3-sys` is upgraded to `0.37.0` via a clean dependency path (no vendored forks)
+- [ ] `cargo build` succeeds
+- [ ] All tests pass
+- [ ] No `[patch.crates-io]` hacks or vendored crates

+A thin Rust service using `reqwest` for the Machines API and `axum` for the reverse proxy is sufficient. No heavyweight orchestration framework needed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Fly.io account with API token (set `FLY_API_TOKEN` env var)
+- Spike 407 findings reviewed
+
+## Timebox
+
+4 hours
+
+## Investigation Plan
+
+- [ ] Create a minimal Rust crate in `spikes/fly_machines/` — do not touch production code
+- [ ] Implement machine lifecycle: create, start, stop, destroy via Fly Machines REST API using `reqwest`
+- [ ] Test attaching a persistent volume to a machine and verify it persists across stop/start
+- [ ] Test secret injection — pass a dummy `credentials.json` as a Fly secret and verify it's readable inside the machine
+- [ ] Sketch the auth proxy: JWT validation → machine lookup → reverse proxy to machine's private IP; verify WebSocket proxying works
+- [ ] Measure actual cold start time for a minimal huskies container image
+- [ ] Document any API quirks, rate limits, or sharp edges discovered during testing

+# Story 411: Multi-account OAuth token rotation on rate limit
+
+## User Story
+
+As a huskies user with multiple Claude Max subscriptions, I want the system to automatically rotate to a different account when one gets rate limited, so that agents and chat don't stall out waiting for limits to reset.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] OAuth login flow stores credentials per-account (keyed by email), not overwriting previous accounts
+- [ ] GET /oauth/status returns all stored accounts and their status (active, rate-limited, expired)
+- [ ] When the active account hits a rate limit, huskies automatically swaps to the next available account's refresh token, refreshes, and retries
+- [ ] The bot sends a notification in Matrix/WhatsApp when it swaps accounts
+- [ ] If all accounts are rate limited, the bot surfaces a clear message with the time until the earliest reset
+- [ ] A new /oauth/authorize login adds to the account pool rather than replacing the current credentials

+# Story 412: Recheck bot command to re-run gates without restarting agent
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user, I want to send `recheck <number>` to the bot so that it re-runs acceptance gates on an existing worktree without spawning a new agent, so I can unblock stories that failed due to environment issues without wasting agent turns.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] recheck command is registered in chat/commands/mod.rs and appears in help output
+- [ ] `recheck <number>` runs run_acceptance_gates on the story's existing worktree
+- [ ] If gates pass, the story advances through the pipeline (same as if a coder completed successfully)
+- [ ] If gates fail, the error output is returned to the user (not silently retried)
+- [ ] If no worktree exists for the story, returns a clear error
+- [ ] Does not spawn a new agent or increment retry_count
+- [ ] Works from all transports (Matrix, WhatsApp, Slack)
+- [ ] Works from web UI slash commands

+# Story 435: Unblock command handles all stuck states not just blocked flag
+
+## User Story
+
+As a project owner, I want the unblock command to clear any stuck state on a story — not just the blocked flag — so that I have a single command to unstick stories regardless of why they're stuck.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Unblock clears merge_failure field in addition to blocked flag
+- [ ] Unblock clears review_hold field
+- [ ] Unblock reports which fields were cleared in the confirmation message
+- [ ] Unblock works on stories in any pipeline stage (backlog, current, qa, merge, done)
+- [ ] If no stuck state is found (no blocked, merge_failure, or review_hold), returns a clear message saying so

+## Current State
+
+- TBD
+
+## Desired State
+
+Replace the separate blocked, merge_failure, and review_hold front matter fields with a single status field (e.g. status: blocked, status: merge_failure, status: review_hold). Simplifies the unblock command, auto-assign checks, and pipeline advance logic.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Replace blocked: true, merge_failure: string, and review_hold: true with a single status: field in story front matter
+- [ ] Auto-assign checks a single field instead of three separate ones
+- [ ] Pipeline advance and lifecycle code reads/writes the unified status field
+- [ ] Unblock command clears the status field regardless of which stuck state it was
+- [ ] retry_count remains a separate field (it's a counter, not a state)
+- [ ] Migration: existing stories with old fields are handled gracefully on read
