fix(babysit): resolve merge conflicts against staging during the review loop

[TheodoreSpeaks]

Summary

• babysit's loop now checks PR mergeable state every iteration, not just at PR creation — a long-running loop spans hours during which staging can drift and produce a real conflict
• if the PR is CONFLICTING, resolve it before evaluating review threads: rebase onto origin/staging, resolve each conflicted file on its merits (never blanket --ours/--theirs), typecheck/lint the resolution, --force-with-lease push, then re-poll until mergeable settles back to MERGEABLE
• polls past mergeable: UNKNOWN instead of acting on it
• renumbered the loop steps, updated stop conditions / reporting / hard rules to cover the new conflict-handling path
• .claude/commands/babysit.md and .cursor/commands/babysit.md regenerated via bun run skills:sync from the canonical .agents/skills/babysit/SKILL.md

Type of Change

• Bug fix

Testing

Ran bun run lint and bun run check:api-validation:strict — both pass. Markdown-only change, no runtime surface to exercise.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Markdown-only changes to agent workflow documentation with no application runtime impact.

Overview
The babysit agent workflow now treats staging mergeability as part of every loop iteration, not only at ship time. The skill/command docs state that the branch should stay mergeable against staging while driving Greptile/Cursor review to a clean state.

Each loop pass starts with gh pr view --json mergeable. If the PR is CONFLICTING, that is handled before declaring success on Greptile 5/5 and resolved threads: merge origin/staging, resolve conflicts, run pre-push checks, push, then jump to re-trigger review (step 8). The former steps are renumbered (10-step loop).

Stop conditions now include a merge conflict that does not clear after two consecutive rounds with no progress, alongside the existing stuck-finding rule. The same edits are applied to the canonical .agents/skills/babysit/SKILL.md and the synced .claude/commands/babysit.md and .cursor/commands/babysit.md projections.

Greptile Summary

This PR keeps long-running babysit sessions aligned with the staging branch. The main changes are:

• Checks PR mergeability on every loop iteration.
• Resolves staging conflicts before processing review state.
• Runs the normal validation gates before conflict-resolution pushes.
• Bounds persistent unknown or conflicting mergeability states.
• Synchronizes the canonical skill with the Claude and Cursor commands.

Confidence Score: 5/5

This looks safe to merge.

• The conflict path runs the required checks before committing and pushing.
• Persistent unknown states are checked before another wakeup is scheduled.
• The three command surfaces contain the same workflow behavior.
• No blocking issues remain in the updated code.

Conflict path skips wait step

Medium Severity

Step 2 sends the agent to step 8 after push but not to step 9. Without step 9’s ScheduleWakeup wait, the loop can re-enter step 1 immediately and race review bots or busy-poll despite step 9’s pacing rule.
