fix: add PR merge conflict check to dev agent workflow

Dev agent should check if PR has merge conflicts before asking for review.
This prevents approving a PR that has conflicts, which could introduce
new errors after rebase.

Changes:
- Add conflict check step in workflow for both with/without user message cases
- Use mergeable field from PR API to detect conflicts
- Instructions to rebase and resolve conflicts if mergeable: false

-# Exit Codes
-
-This document describes the exit codes used by kugetsu commands.
-
-## Exit Codes
-
-| Exit Code | Meaning |
-|-----------|---------|
-| 0 | Success - operation completed successfully |
-| 1 | General error - worktree/session/validation failed |
-| 2 | Max concurrent agents reached (MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS limit) |
-
-## Commands
-
-### cmd_continue / cmd_start
-
-The `cmd_continue` command (aliased to `cmd_start`) returns exit codes to indicate the result of the operation:
-
-- **Exit 0**: Success - agent forked successfully
-- **Exit 1**: General error - worktree/session/validation failed
-- **Exit 2**: Max concurrent agents reached
-
-### Internal Functions
-
-#### fork_agent()
-
-Forks a new agent session for a given worktree.
-
-- **Return 0**: Success - agent forked successfully
-- **Return 1**: General error - invalid worktree path or other failure
-
-#### ensure_worktree()
-
-Ensures a worktree exists for the given issue reference.
-
-- **Return 0**: Success - worktree existed or was created
-- **Return 1**: General error - base session not found or worktree creation failed
-- **Return 2**: Max concurrent agents reached
-
-## Daemon Integration
-
-These exit codes are designed to help the queue daemon distinguish between recoverable and non-recoverable errors:
-
-- **Exit 2 (max agents)**: This is a recoverable error - the daemon can retry later when agents become available
-- **Exit 1 (general error)**: Non-recoverable - the task should be marked as failed
-
-## MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS
-
-The maximum number of concurrent development agents is controlled by the `MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS` configuration variable (default: 3).
-
-Set this in your `config` file:
-
-```bash
-MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS=5
-```
-
-Or via environment variable:
-
-```bash
-export MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS=5
-```

 **Daemon Behavior:**
 1. Runs at configurable interval (default: 5 minutes)
-2. Checks queue for pending items
-3. For each pending item:
-   - Acquires lock to prevent duplicate processing
-   - Sources kugetsu-session.sh and calls `cmd_continue`

-   - Updates queue item state to "notified"

-## Version History
-
-### v0.2.3
-- **Queue daemon context drift fix** (issue #156): Daemon now sources kugetsu-session.sh and calls `cmd_continue` directly instead of forking PM session. This fixes context drift where daemon would lose track of task state.
-- **Daemon locking**: Added per-issue locking to prevent race conditions when multiple daemon instances run.
-- **Timeout handling**: Tasks that don't complete within TASK_TIMEOUT_HOURS are marked as "error".

+PM Context:
+    kugetsu reads ~/.kugetsu/pm-agent.md (if exists) and injects it
+    into the PM agent session at init time. This allows customizing PM
+    behavior without recreating the session.
 
-Options for list:
-    --limit=N         Number of items to return (default: 10)
-    --format=json     Output in JSON format with stats
+Notifications:
+    PM Agent writes task completion notifications to ~/.kugetsu/notifications.json
+    Use 'kugetsu notify list' to see unread notifications.
 
 Examples:
-    kugetsu queue list
-    kugetsu queue list --limit=50
