Resolutions honouring both sides:
- CLAUDE.md: main's pointer form wins; this branch's release-era wording
(tree diagram line, Updating section) ported into AGENTS.md where the
brief now lives.
- update.sh: this branch's release-based rewrite wins; main's additions
to the old file list (AGENTS.md from task 13, LICENSE) are carried by
the release-manifest instead: added copy AGENTS.md and copy LICENSE.
- Starter local/: manifest and release.sh now seed the split pair
(AGENTS.md notes + pointer CLAUDE.md) mirroring task 13's layout;
artifact test updated to match.
- tests/test_update_round_trip.py (main's, aimed at the removed
git-clone mechanism) retired; its two 13-specific intents ported into
test_update_from_release.py as
test_agents_brief_replaces_an_old_vendor_named_copy, its third already
covered there. 147 tests green.
- release.sh's lost executable bit restored.

README's first instruction becomes the tokenless curl | tar against
the stable latest-release URL; the clone path moves to a "working on
bench itself" note. CLAUDE.md's Updating section and .env.example's
BENCH_SOURCE comment describe release-based updates: the source is
stamped at build time, BENCH_SOURCE is an override rather than a
prerequisite.

Ships with the distribution: update.sh's core-owned file list carries
LICENSE so installed projects receive it, and the release manifest
(task 15) inherits the list.

AGENTS.md is the cross-vendor name (opencode, Codex, Gemini CLI read it
natively; so does current Claude Code), and the brief goes to every
vendor's agents — an opencode work agent previously launched with no
project brief at all. The content moves verbatim to AGENTS.md at the
root and in manager/local/; each CLAUDE.md becomes a load-bearing
compatibility pointer (@AGENTS.md import) for older Claude Code CLIs.
update.sh's core-owned file list now carries both names, so updating an
old-layout install lands AGENTS.md and replaces the full CLAUDE.md with
the pointer instead of resurrecting it. All four core prompts, README,
the board.py/taskfiles.py docstrings, the task template and the adapter
contract docs now name AGENTS.md; adapters/README.md notes that vendors
reading AGENTS.md from the working tree need no adapter work.

A vendored clone of bench arrives carrying bench's own task cards, plans
and reference documents, so a new user's first board opened pre-loaded
with our backlog. install.py now detects first boot — a vendored install
(project root != manager root) whose manager/local/ has never been
populated (no .env, no state/) — and only then clears the stage
directories, tasks/archive/, plans/ and reference/, keeping
task-template.md and the .gitkeep files and printing every removal.
--dry-run lists instead of removing. After cleaning it stamps
manager/local/state/, so the guard is permanently false on every later
run even if the adapter wire fails, and a host's own cards are never
touched. Self-hosted repos (bench itself, including fresh dev clones)
are never cleaned: their tasks/ is the repo's history.
Covered end-to-end in tests/test_install_first_boot.py by running
install.py as a subprocess against scratch host layouts; README notes
the first-boot behaviour under "Install into a repo".

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).
