Subject: [PATCH] entrypoint: write startup-tasks marker on every pod boot
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pod-startup handoff to the LLM. On every boot the entrypoint writes
${AGENT_CONFIG_DIR}/startup-tasks containing /cross-agent-review by
default. Per the new "Startup Tasks" section of agent-config's
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, the agent reads this file at the start of every
session and runs the listed slash-commands before doing anything else.

The file is not truncated after execution — every session re-runs
the tasks. cross-agent-review is idempotent and picks up new ball-in-
court items each time, so re-running each session is the point.

Override per-deploy: set STARTUP_TASKS in the pod env (multi-line ok).
To opt out: set STARTUP_TASKS to a single comment line, e.g. "# disabled".

Companion change in nprodromou/agent-config adds the LLM-side
instructions that read this file.
