Summary

Fixed the critical bug where cmd_start created a session but never forked the agent to work on it. Both cmd_start and cmd_continue now properly fork a dev agent to work on the task.

Bug (Issue #187)

cmd_start created worktree + session but never started an agent
Queue daemon marked task as "notified" but no agent was forked
Session sat idle forever

Changes

New function `build_dev_agent_message()`

Generates a default workflow prompt for the dev agent:

Read issue and all comments
Check for existing PRs
Read README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md (if exists)
Explore codebase
Ask clarifying questions if needed
Implement solution
Create branch and PR

Modified `cmd_start`

After creating session, now forks dev agent with build_dev_agent_message()
Fire-and-forget: returns immediately, agent works in background
Logs to $LOGS_DIR/dev-$session_id.log

Modified `cmd_continue`

Uses build_dev_agent_message() when message is empty
Now forks agent (fire-and-forget) instead of running synchronously
Logs to $LOGS_DIR/dev-$session_id.log

Testing

Manual test: kugetsu delegate "#158" should now fork an agent that works on the issue
