418d955fd3 docs: v0.16.1 — minions worker deployment guide (from #287) (#317)
* docs: v0.16.1 — minions worker deployment guide (from #287)

New docs/guides/minions-deployment.md covering persistent worker deploy
patterns (watchdog cron, inline --follow for cron-only workloads) plus
the sharp edges of running gbrain jobs work against Supabase in
production.

Addresses a real gap: existing minions docs (minions-fix.md,
minions-shell-jobs.md) cover schema repair and shell-job security,
not deploy patterns. With v0.16.0's durable agent runtime, the
persistent worker is now load-bearing for subagent + subagent_aggregator
handlers too, so a supervised deploy story matters.

Pre-landing accuracy pass corrected five factual bugs against current
source:
- max_stalled column default (5, not 1 or 3)
- stalled-jobs smoke-test query (active, not waiting)
- watchdog SIGTERM-to-SIGKILL grace (10s minimum, not 2s)
- cron env pattern (crontab env lines, not source ~/.bashrc)
- --follow exit semantics (blocks until submitted job is terminal,
  not until queue is empty)

Docs-only. No code changed. Zero migration required.

Contributed by a downstream agent fork via #287.

* chore: credit Wintermute correctly in v0.16.1 CHANGELOG

Wintermute is gbrain's own OpenClaw instance running in production, not a
community contributor. The original CHANGELOG framing ("community contributor
@wintermute") understated the funnier truth: the agent built on top of the
project wrote the deploy guide for the project after hitting its sharp edges
in production. Dogfooding with extra steps.

* docs: rewrite minions deployment guide for agent line-by-line execution

Fixes 12 findings from reading v0.16.1 guide as-an-agent would:

Real bugs:
- Crontab syntax wrong for user crontabs (6-field format dumped into
  `crontab -e` got "bad minute" or parsed `user` as the command). Now two
  labeled blocks: 5-field for `crontab -e`, 6-field for `/etc/crontab`.
- Watchdog restart loop (old shutdown lines in unrotated log re-matched
  every 5 min forever). New `minion-watchdog.sh` writes 2-line PID file
  (PID + restart epoch) and only considers log lines newer than the
  epoch. Regex rewritten explicit (mawk rejects `{n}` intervals).
- Credentials in world-readable /etc/crontab. Secrets move to
  /etc/gbrain.env (mode 600), referenced via BASH_ENV in crontab.

Structural:
- Preconditions block (5 fail-fast checks).
- "Which option?" decision tree.
- Template variable table (6 vars documented).
- Upgrade section (v0.13.x -> v0.16.2 checklist).
- Option 3: systemd.service + Procfile + fly.toml.partial snippets.
- Uninstall section.
- `--follow` example uses `gbrain embed --stale` (a real command) instead
  of the fictional `gbrain enrich`.
- Dead-end "Proposed CLI flags (not yet implemented)" replaced with a
  "Tune per-job today" callout pointing at flags that exist.
- Known Issues rewritten as imperatives.

Also wires `docs/guides/minions-deployment.md` into `scripts/llms-config.ts`
under the Configuration section so remote agents fetching llms.txt /
llms-full.txt see the guide by name.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.16.2)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sync v0.16.2 CHANGELOG with the actual --follow example in the guide

The shipped docs/guides/minions-deployment.md uses `gbrain embed --stale`
(a real command) but the v0.16.2 CHANGELOG entry still referenced
`gbrain enrich --brain $GBRAIN_WORKSPACE` (the older draft). Bring the
CHANGELOG in line with what actually shipped.
