refactor(cli,workflow-meta): scaffold AGENT.md on init; align develop prompts

Generate AGENT.md at ~/.uncaged-nerve root during nerve init (layout, verb-first workflows, createRole four-tuple, root build, coding style). Role prompts instruct agents to use cat AGENT.md instead of node_modules nerve-skills paths.

E2E init test asserts AGENT.md. Retain .knowledge workflow/adapter updates and flat single-file roles guidance from the branch.

Fixes #287

+/** Generated at workspace root so agents can \`cat AGENT.md\` instead of npm skill paths. */
+const AGENT_MD = `# Nerve workspace — agent guide
+
+This file is created by \`nerve init\`. Read it before implementing senses or workflows.
+
+## Directory layout
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| \`nerve.yaml\` | Senses, workflows, intervals, groups |
+| \`package.json\` | Single root package — no per-sense/per-workflow packages |
+| \`scripts/build.mjs\` | Root esbuild step; output under \`dist/\` |
+| \`senses/<name>/src/index.ts\` | Sense \`compute()\` entry |
+| \`senses/<name>/src/schema.ts\` | Drizzle SQLite schema (TypeScript) |
+| \`senses/<name>/migrations/*.sql\` | SQL migrations (next to \`src/\`, not inside it) |
+| \`workflows/<name>/index.ts\` | Default export: \`WorkflowDefinition\` |
+| \`workflows/<name>/roles/<role>.ts\` | One TypeScript file per role |
+| \`dist/senses/<name>/index.js\` | Bundled sense (after build) |
+| \`dist/workflows/<name>/index.js\` | Bundled workflow (after build) |
+
+There is **no** \`package.json\` or \`tsconfig.json\` inside individual senses or workflows.
+
+## Naming
+
+- **Workflows:** verb-first kebab-case (e.g. \`review-pull-request\`, \`deploy-staging\`). Avoid bare nouns like \`notifications\`.
+- **Senses:** kebab-case descriptive nouns (e.g. \`cpu-usage\`).
+
+## Workflow roles — four-tuple pattern
+
+Wire each role with \`createRole\` from \`@uncaged/nerve-workflow-utils\`:
+
+1. **Adapter** — \`AgentFn\` (LLM call)
+2. **Prompt builder** — \`async (ctx: ThreadContext) => string\`
+3. **Meta schema** — Zod object (routing / structured output from the model)
+4. **Extractor config** — how JSON meta is parsed from replies
+
+Keep meta small (often one boolean per role). The **moderator** in \`WorkflowDefinition\` routes between role names.
+
+## Build commands
+
+Always run from the **workspace root**:
+
+\`\`\`bash
+pnpm run build
+# or: npm run build
+\`\`\`
+
+Fix errors until this succeeds. New workflows must appear under \`workflows/<name>/\` and be registered in \`nerve.yaml\`; new senses under \`senses/<name>/\` with matching \`nerve.yaml\` entries.
+
+## Coding style (Nerve conventions)
+
+- Use \`type\`, not \`interface\`; prefer \`function\` over classes (except errors / library requirements).
+- **Named exports only** — no \`export default\` (exception: \`workflows/<name>/index.ts\` uses default export for the daemon loader).
+- Nullable fields: \`T | null\`, not TypeScript optional \`?:\`.
+- No dynamic \`import()\` in workspace code (bundling and tooling assume static imports).
+- Use \`async\`/\`await\`; use a \`Result\` type for expected failures instead of control-flow try/catch.
+
+## Extra references (optional)
+
+- \`CONVENTIONS.md\` — project-specific overrides at repo root.
+- \`.knowledge/*.md\` — deeper docs when working inside the Nerve monorepo.
+- \`.cursor/skills/\` — Cursor Agent Skills (\`SKILL.md\` per skill).
