Give each agent thread its own running instance of the app - #168

Conversation
One bullet under the general rules: start one instance per thread, keyed by worktree or branch, with its own Hive store inside the app container; hot reload it with SIGUSR1 after each edit; keep it for the thread's life. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| These steer us in the right direction. They are not hard-set, but default to following them; if you think one should be ignored, be very loud about it and get approval from us first. | ||

| - Never edit `*.g.dart` files. Edit the source models, then run `dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs`. | ||
| - Each thread owns one running instance of the app, and never touches another's. Start yours once, keyed by your worktree or branch name: `flutter run -d macos --pid-file /tmp/icarus-<key>.pid --dart-entrypoint-args "--hive-store-dir=<dir>"`, with `<dir>` = `~/Library/Containers/xyz.icarus-strats/Data/Library/Application Support/icarus-<key>` so its library is yours alone, launched from an unsandboxed shell or it draws but takes no clicks. Instances share a window frame, so move yours aside before you click. After every edit, hot reload it with `kill -USR1 $(cat /tmp/icarus-<key>.pid)`; the tool's stdin is not a terminal, so typing `r` does nothing. Keep it running for the thread, and kill it when the thread ends. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
<key> is defined as a worktree or branch name, so a typical value such as feature/isolated-run expands to /tmp/icarus-feature/isolated-run.pid. Flutter does not create /tmp/icarus-feature before writing the PID file, causing the documented launch to exit with PathNotFoundException before the app starts. Normalize the key for a filename or create the PID file's parent directory before invoking Flutter.

Same rule as #167 on the cloud branch, without the shared-session line since main has no accounts: each thread starts one instance of the app, keyed by worktree or branch name, with its own Hive store inside the app container and its own pid file; hot reloads it with SIGUSR1 after each edit; keeps it for the thread's life.
