Task 19 gave every board the same truth; this makes exactly one of them
react to it. State syncs; reactions don't.
- watch.py: attribution is now the trigger gate. _actor returns (who,
remote), and a move a pull applied — the arrivals sync files — renders
and narrates but opens no PR. A plain mv on this disk still acts: inert
means "happened elsewhere", not "unattributed".
- github.py: the file-carried gates behind that rule, so the rare double
is harmless rather than loud. The **PR:** line commits itself in team
mode (taskfiles.commit_edit, sharing the move's pathspec-scoped commit),
so it reaches the other boards instead of sitting in one working tree —
where it would also stall sync outright; and a `gh pr create` that races
anyway adopts the PR GitHub already holds.
- No board finishes the actor's half-done side effect on its own: the
startup reconcile stands down in team mode and a review card with a
branch and no PR carries ↑ open PR (POST /api/pr/open), which is a
person deciding rather than N boards guessing. _open_pr raises its
reasons now, so the automatic path narrates them and the explicit one
toasts them.
- agents.py: the claim gates work launches. A card someone else holds
refuses, naming them; ▸ take over is the deliberate second path (armed
like everything that costs tokens) and reassigns via taskfiles'
set_assignee; an unheld card claims itself on launch. Only in team mode
— with BOARD_COMMIT_MOVES off nothing writes an assignee, so nothing
reads one as a lock.
- github.complete_task: with BOARD_SYNC on, merge & clean up runs
`gh pr merge` and lets the beat deliver the result, so local main only
ever fast-forwards and no board makes a merge commit of its own. A
branch without a PR is refused with a pointer to ↑ open PR. Sync off
keeps the local merge path exactly as it was.
Verified with tests/test_actor_acts.py: two real clones of a real bare
upstream and a stub gh — the replica that only renders, the PR line that
travels, the double that adopts, the takeover that reassigns, and both
merge paths.

The poller now reads GitHub's mergeable field alongside reviews and
checks. A CONFLICTING PR drops any approved-green verdict (as
changes-needed-by-you, not a CI failure), wears an alarm-coloured
conflicts chip in the card's footer row, and narrates the flip in the
ticker. GitHub computes mergeability lazily, so UNKNOWN keeps the
previous reading instead of flapping the chip.
The poll fold is now a pure function (_fold), so the verdict logic is
testable without gh.

Everything core from cicero-pas's .task-manager, with instance data
reduced to skeleton: empty stage directories, the task template, empty
local/ scaffolding, and a README covering install (clone into
.task-manager/, vendored on purpose) and update (update.sh replaces core
wholesale; local/ and tasks/ survive).
