Was telling team-lead to 'use genie spawn to activate' — wrong, genie work does it.

Code Review

This pull request corrects an instructional message in the kickoffPrompt for the team-lead agent. The previous message incorrectly instructed the agent to use genie spawn, while the updated message correctly states that genie work will automatically spawn the necessary agents. This is a good correction that aligns the prompt with the agent's documentation and intended workflow. I've added one suggestion to improve the readability of the long prompt string for better maintainability.

Comment thread src/term-commands/team.ts
// Spawn leader — AGENTS.md comes from the built-in resolver, all context in the initial prompt
const members = standardTeam.filter((r) => r !== 'team-lead').join(', ');
const kickoffPrompt = `Your team is "${config.name}". Repo: ${config.repo}. Branch: ${config.name}. Worktree: ${config.worktreePath}. Wish slug: ${slug}. Your team members are: ${members} (already hired, use genie spawn to activate them). Read the wish at .genie/wishes/${slug}/WISH.md and execute the full lifecycle autonomously.`;

This line is very long, which can make it difficult to read and maintain. For better readability, consider breaking this long string into an array of smaller strings and then joining them. This improves the code's clarity without altering the final prompt's content.

  const kickoffPrompt = [
    `Your team is "${config.name}".`,
    `Repo: ${config.repo}.`,
    `Branch: ${config.name}.`,
    `Worktree: ${config.worktreePath}.`,
    `Wish slug: ${slug}.`,
    `Your team members are: ${members} (already hired — genie work will spawn them automatically).`,
    `Read the wish at .genie/wishes/${slug}/WISH.md and execute the full lifecycle autonomously.`,
  ].join(' ');
