# Continuous Learning v2 - Observer Agent Launcher
#
# Starts the background observer agent that analyzes observations
# and creates instincts. Uses Haiku model for cost efficiency.
#
# v2.1: Project-scoped — detects current project and analyzes
#       project-specific observations into project-scoped instincts.
#
# Usage:
#   start-observer.sh              # Start observer for current project (or global)
#   start-observer.sh --reset      # Clear lock and restart observer for current project
#   start-observer.sh stop         # Stop running observer
#   start-observer.sh status       # Check if observer is running

set -e

# NOTE: set -e is disabled inside the background subshell below
# to prevent claude CLI failures from killing the observer loop.
