Let agent lanes claim ownership at startup#462

Agent startup now accepts repeated --claim flags, creates the branch/worktree first, then reuses the existing lock tool to claim the requested files for the created branch. If the lock tool rejects the paths, startup records a claim-failed session and prints the exact recovery command instead of continuing silently. Constraint: Existing gx agents start repo-bot mode must keep working when no task/agent/claim lane inputs are provided. Rejected: Reimplement lock writes in JavaScript | the existing lock tool already owns conflict detection and path normalization. Confidence: high Scope-risk: moderate Directive: Keep startup claims routed through the lock tool so claim semantics stay single-sourced. Tested: node --test test/agents.test.js test/cli-args-dispatch.test.js test/agents-start-claims.test.js Tested: openspec validate agent-codex-agents-start-claims-manual-2026-04-29-2131 --strict Tested: git diff --check Not-tested: npm test is not fully green; existing test/agents-launch.test.js prompt-mode cases fail with Unsupported prompt mode for <agent>: argument.
