Summary: Three related bugs where the queue/agent system appears to work but tasks never complete properly.

Bug 1: Agent hits decision point and goes idle instead of asking for guidance

When a delegated agent encounters a blocker (e.g., dependency on another issue), it:

  1. Writes analysis internally ("recommend doing #116 first")
  2. Stops without messaging the user
  3. Session ends without resolution

Observed in: Issues #119 and #121 — both depended on #116 (Modularize Shell Script). Agents found the dependency, analyzed options, and stopped — never notifying the user.

Expected behavior: Agent should either:

  • Message the user for guidance before stopping
  • Fall back to a default action (e.g., proceed anyway, or close with explanation)

Bug 2: Queue state does not update after agent finishes

When a delegated task completes:

  • Session ends (no longer appears in opencode session list)
  • No PR created (or PR created but daemon doesnt detect it)
  • Queue still shows notified: N, completed: 0

Observed in: After delegating #116, #117, #118, #119, #121, #144:

  • Sessions completed (confirmed via opencode session list)
  • Some PRs created (#120)
  • Queue daemon reported "Failed to start task after 3 attempts" then reset to pending
  • Queue stats stayed at notified: 3, completed: 0

Root cause: Daemon is not detecting agent completion. Tasks stay in "notified" state forever.

Bug 3: queue clear does not clear queue/items/

Running kugetsu queue clear:

  • Clears ~/.kugetsu/queue.json (root file)
  • Does NOT clear ~/.kugetsu/queue/items/*.json (individual queue item files)

Result: After clearing queue, daemon still has old items in memory/state and continues processing them.

Fix: kugetsu queue clear should also delete all files in ~/.kugetsu/queue/items/.

Related: Bug #148 (test suite overwrites index.json) — same symptom: system appears ok but is broken.

Severity: High — queue system appears to work but tasks never properly complete.
