Problem

PM agent tried to post test results as issue comment but was blocked:

! permission requested: external_directory (/tmp/*); auto-rejecting
✗ write failed

The subagent workflow uses write_file to create a temporary file, then posts via curl -d @/tmp/file. But PM agent session has /tmp/* blocked.

Options to Fix

Option 1: Write to kugetsu session folder instead

PM agent has access to ~/.kugetsu/ which is where logs are written. Could write comment drafts there instead of /tmp/.

Option 2: Use curl directly without file

The curl command could construct the JSON body inline instead of reading from file:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"body":"comment text"}' 'url'

Option 3: Update PM agent session permissions

Allow /tmp/* in PM agent session permissions.

Recommendation

Option 1 (write to ~/.kugetsu/) seems cleanest - keeps temporary files within the kugetsu ecosystem rather than expanding /tmp permissions.

Could create a helper script at ~/.kugetsu/post-comment.sh that the PM agent calls instead of writing files directly.
