Summary

Set GIT_EDITOR=cat and EDITOR=cat in kugetsu init to prevent vim from opening during git operations in headless mode.

Problem

When PM or dev agents run git rebase/conflict resolution in headless mode, git opens vim which requires TTY:

Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal

This causes operations to hang waiting for input.

Solution

In kugetsu init, before starting opencode session, set:

export GIT_EDITOR=cat
export EDITOR=cat

This tells git to use cat as editor, which outputs to stdout and exits immediately instead of opening vim.

Changes

Added GIT_EDITOR=cat and EDITOR=cat exports in kugetsu init before opencode run

Fixes #70

Set GIT_EDITOR and EDITOR to 'cat' in kugetsu init to prevent
vim from opening during git operations in headless mode.

This fixes issues where git rebase --continue would hang waiting
for vim TTY input in opencode sessions.

Fixes #70
