infra-project-bootstrap-missing-workdir

Answer

Root cause: the scheduler daemon tick did os.chdir(workdir) assuming the project directory already existed. On a fresh host the foreman's first scaffold hadn't run yet, so the tick died with OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory.

Fix (two layers, in fix_bootstrap.py):

1. Ensure-before-chdir — idempotently create the workdir (with parents) before every tick:

def ensure_workdir(workdir):
    p = pathlib.Path(workdir)
    p.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    return p

1. Foreman-direct bootstrap — mechanical scaffolds run inline (no worker spawn per skill): git init, README, AGENTS.md, .gitignore, and a .coding-hermes/tasks.md board with BOOT-001 done plus 3 fixture tasks, committed with a co-author trailer:

def bootstrap_workdir(workdir, name=None):
    p = ensure_workdir(workdir)
    subprocess.run(["git", "init", "-q"], cwd=p, check=True)
    # write README/AGENTS.md/.gitignore/tasks.md only if absent (no clobber)
    # repo-local identity fallback so CI/containers can commit
    if not git("config", "user.name"):  # repo-local, never touches --global
        git("config", "user.name", "Foreman")
        git("config", "user.email", "<email>")
    if git("status", "--porcelain").stdout.strip():
        git("add", "-A")
        git("commit", "-q", "-m",
            "chore: bootstrap project workdir\n\n"
            "Co-authored-by: Foreman <<email>>")
    return p

class SchedulerDaemon:
    def tick(self):
        bootstrap_workdir(self.workdir)   # ensure + scaffold (fast path if exists)
        os.chdir(self.workdir)            # the previously-fatal call now always succeeds
        return pathlib.Path.cwd()

The daemon-state marker (.coding-hermes/.bootstrapped) is gitignored so it never perturbs the repo diff — the key to tick idempotency.
