 1. Polling detects process exit, `FileTailer.stop()` flushes remaining output

-3. **Primary path**: Reads `.cw/output/signal.json` from agent worktree
-4. Signal contains `{ status: "done"|"questions"|"error", result?, questions?, error? }`
-5. Agent DB status updated accordingly (idle, waiting_for_input, crashed)
-6. For `done`: proposals created from structured output; `agent:stopped` emitted
-7. For `questions`: parsed and stored as `pendingQuestions`; `agent:waiting` emitted
-8. **Fallback**: If signal.json missing, lifecycle controller retries with instruction injection
+3. **Path resolution**: Uses `ActiveAgent.agentCwd` (recorded at spawn) to locate signal.json. Standalone agents run in a `workspace/` subdirectory under `agent-workdirs/<alias>/`, so the base `getAgentWorkdir()` path won't contain `.cw/output/signal.json`. Reconciliation and crash detection paths also probe for the `workspace/` subdirectory when `.cw/output` is missing at the base level.
