Option A ("ask inline, session stays open") described a path where the
errand agent could ask questions without writing signal.json, which broke
the server's completion detection (checkAgentCompletionResult polls for
done|questions|error status). Remove the Option A/B distinction and make
signal.json with questions status the single mechanism for all user-input
requests, consistent with how other agents handle blocking questions.

The errand agent can now write { "status": "questions", ... } to
signal.json to pause mid-task and ask the user for clarification.
The session ends cleanly; the user answers via UI or CLI; the system
resumes the agent with their answers via sendUserMessage.
Two changes:
- buildErrandPrompt: adds "Option B" explaining the questions signal
format and the resume-on-answer lifecycle, alongside the existing
inline-question approach.
- sendUserMessage: extends allowed statuses from running|idle to also
include waiting_for_input, so agents paused on a questions signal
can be resumed when the user replies.

Add a dedicated "Asking questions" section to the errand prompt so the
agent knows it can pause, ask for clarification, and wait for the user
to reply via the UI chat input or `cw errand chat`. Previously the
prompt said "work interactively" with no guidance on the mechanism,
leaving the agent to guess.

Implements three primitives needed before errand tRPC procedures can be wired up:
- agentManager.sendUserMessage(agentId, message): resumes an errand agent with a
raw user message, bypassing the conversations table and conversationResumeLocks.
Throws on missing agent, invalid status, or absent sessionId.
- writeErrandManifest(options): writes .cw/input/errand.md (YAML frontmatter),
.cw/input/manifest.json (errandId/agentId/agentName/mode, no files/contextFiles),
and .cw/expected-pwd.txt to an agent workdir.
- buildErrandPrompt(description): minimal prompt for errand agents; exported from
prompts/errand.ts and re-exported from prompts/index.ts.
Also fixes a pre-existing TypeScript error in lifecycle/controller.test.ts (missing
backoffMs property in RetryPolicy mock introduced by a concurrent agent commit).

Completed phases showed "No phases pending review" because:
1. Frontend filtered only pending_review phases
2. Server rejected non-pending_review phases
3. After merge, three-dot diff returned empty (merge base moved)
Fix: store pre-merge merge base hash on phase, use it to reconstruct
diffs for completed phases. Frontend now shows both pending_review and
completed phases with read-only mode (Merged badge) for completed ones.
Task-level approval (requiresApproval, mergeRequiresApproval,
pending_approval status) was redundant with executionMode
(yolo vs review_per_phase) and blocked the orchestrator's
phase completion flow. Tasks now complete directly;
phase-level review via executionMode is the right granularity.
Removed: schema columns (left in DB, removed from Drizzle),
TaskPendingApprovalEvent, approveTask/listPendingApprovals
procedures, findPendingApproval repository method, and all
frontend approval UI.
writeInputFiles, spawnDetached, and diagnostic writes now use
fs/promises (mkdir, writeFile) instead of mkdirSync/writeFileSync.
File writes in writeInputFiles are batched with Promise.all.
openSync/closeSync for child process stdio FDs remain sync as
spawn() requires the FDs immediately.
Agents were bulk-reading all context task files (39 files) because
filenames are opaque IDs and there was no way to find phase-relevant
tasks without reading every file. Now writeInputFiles generates a
context/index.json with tasksByPhase mapping phaseId to task metadata
(file, id, name, status). Prompt updated to direct agents to read
the index first.
Move src/ → apps/server/ and packages/web/ → apps/web/ to adopt
standard monorepo conventions (apps/ for runnable apps, packages/
for reusable libraries). Update all config files, shared package
imports, test fixtures, and documentation to reflect new paths.
Key fixes:
- Update workspace config to ["apps/*", "packages/*"]
- Update tsconfig.json rootDir/include for apps/server/
- Add apps/web/** to vitest exclude list
- Update drizzle.config.ts schema path
- Fix ensure-schema.ts migration path detection (3 levels up in dev,
2 levels up in dist)
- Fix tests/integration/cli-server.test.ts import paths
- Update packages/shared imports to apps/server/ paths
- Update all docs/ files with new paths
