After `claude -p` emits the stream-json "result" event, the session is
complete but the process hangs waiting for agent subprocesses. The
watchdog was waiting 10 min of silence before killing — wasting time.
Now the watchdog greps for `"type":"result"` in the log every 10s.
Once detected: 30s grace for cleanup, then kill. Also treats
SESSION_ENDED as success for checkpoint creation.

- Spinner completion messages now show "done" state instead of repeating
the in-progress message (e.g., "Loading manifest" instead of "Loading manifest...")
- Script failures show actionable troubleshooting (missing credentials,
rate limits, dependencies) instead of generic "Script exited with code N"
- Ctrl+C (exit code 130) exits silently instead of showing an error
- Fuzzy matching for unknown agents/clouds now also searches display names,
so "Hetzner" suggests "hetzner" even when the key doesn't fuzzy-match

Root cause: `claude -p` (print mode) terminates the session when the
model produces a text response with no tool call. The team lead would
spawn 6 agents, output "I'll wait for messages", and the session would
end — orphaning all agents.
Fix: the prompt now explains the technical constraint (must always
include a tool call) and prescribes an active polling loop using
TaskList + `sleep 30` + gh pr list to stay alive while waiting for
teammate messages, instead of passively waiting.

Replaces the naive `claude | tee` pipe with a background process +
watchdog loop that monitors log file growth every 10 seconds.
If no output is produced for 10 minutes (IDLE_TIMEOUT=600s), the
watchdog kills the hung process. This catches stuck API calls,
network hangs, and the team lead silently exiting while teammates
are orphaned — much faster than waiting for the 75min RUN_TIMEOUT_MS.
Team cycle: 10min idle timeout, 60min hard wall-clock timeout
Single cycle: 10min idle timeout, 35min hard wall-clock timeout
The next cron trigger starts a fresh cycle automatically.

- create_server(): Validate hostname, plan, region env vars with
validate_resource_name(); pass all values via sys.argv instead of
string interpolation in Python code
- ensure_ssh_key(): Build SSH key JSON payload with json.dumps via
sys.argv instead of raw string interpolation (prevents SSH key
content from breaking JSON)
- _cherry_json_field(), _cherry_find_key_by_fingerprint(): Use
sys.argv instead of bash variable interpolation in Python strings

The team lead was spawning 6 agents then exiting because the prompt
lacked explicit instructions to stay alive and wait for messages (the
discovery prompt has this, refactor didn't). Added the WaitForMessage
monitoring loop pattern from discovery.sh.
Also increased IDLE_TIMEOUT from 180s to 600s — 3 min was too
aggressive, killing legitimate cycles where agents are working and the
leader is waiting for their responses.

The IONOS provider interpolated $IONOS_USERNAME and $IONOS_PASSWORD
directly into Python string literals when saving credentials, allowing
arbitrary code execution via crafted credential values containing
single quotes. Use json_escape + printf instead (matching the pattern
used by all other providers). Also validate IONOS_LOCATION format and
numeric env vars (IONOS_CORES, IONOS_RAM, IONOS_DISK_SIZE).

Users typing "spawn Claude" or "spawn Claude Code" now get resolved
to the correct key automatically instead of an "invalid characters"

two-arg run paths.

The lead was spawning teammates via Task (fire-and-forget) and then
ending its conversation after 14 turns. Teammates became orphaned
with no coordination or shutdown sequence.
Added three changes to the team lead prompt:
1. Upfront warning: "your session MUST stay alive for the entire cycle"
2. New "Monitoring Loop" section with explicit WaitForMessage pattern
and common-mistake callout (BAD: spawn then exit, GOOD: spawn then
WaitForMessage loop then shutdown)
3. End instruction restructured into 3 mandatory phases:
Setup → Monitor (WaitForMessage loop) → Shutdown

The team lead's claude process can hang indefinitely when an API call
doesn't return (observed: pre-flight check hung for 30+ min while 6
agents were orphaned). The hard timeout waits the full 40 min.
Now monitors log file growth every 10s. If no output for 3 minutes
(IDLE_TIMEOUT=180s), the process is killed immediately. The next
5-minute cron trigger starts a fresh cycle — no wasted time.

ensure_sprite_exists() now polls `sprite list` until the sprite
appears (up to 30s) instead of a fixed sleep. This eliminates the
spurious "sprite not found" errors that appeared while the sprite
was still provisioning.
