What changed

catalog/agent-team/README.md — two additions to close the documentation gap surfaced by PR #69 ("fix agent-team manual workflow_dispatch inputs"):

1. Concrete gh workflow run commands in "Kicking off a task" step 4

The previous text acknowledged that manual re-dispatch was possible but gave no commands. Users who land on a 🛑 workflow_dispatch inputs were not propagated error had no documented path to recover. Added four ready-to-paste gh workflow run invocations — one per re-dispatchable role (planner, implementer first-pass, implementer kickback, reviewer) — with inline annotations explaining each placeholder.

2. New "Troubleshooting" section

Covers the three most common stuck-pipeline scenarios now that agents fail loudly:

Symptom Cause Fix
🛑 workflow_dispatch inputs were not propagated Missing or unresolved input Re-dispatch with all required inputs; remove state:blocked first
Agent ran but did nothing Spec-agent early-exit guard Delete prior spec comment, remove state:* labels, re-add agent-team
Reviewer kicked back > 3 times Max-iteration guard triggered Fix manually, re-dispatch with iteration=1 and existing pr_number

Why

PR #69 made agents fail loudly on missing inputs (previously they would silently try to infer values). This is strictly better behavior — but it surfaces the gap: users need to know how to re-dispatch with correct inputs. The troubleshooting section turns the error message into actionable steps.

Test plan

  • Read through the new "Kicking off a task" step 4 commands and verify input names match the workflow_dispatch.inputs frontmatter in each agent .md
  • Verify planner-agent.md inputs: issue_number (required), iteration (optional, default "1") ✅
  • Verify implementer-agent.md inputs: issue_number (required), iteration (optional, default "1"), pr_number (optional, default "") ✅
  • Verify reviewer-agent.md inputs: pr_number (required), issue_number (required), iteration (optional, default "1") ✅

… section

PR #69 added loud-failure guards when workflow_dispatch inputs are missing
or unresolved. Users now need concrete gh workflow run commands to re-dispatch
a stuck stage — the previous docs mentioned manual dispatch was possible but
gave no commands. Add explicit commands for each role and a Troubleshooting
section covering the three most common stuck-pipeline scenarios.
