* fix(continuous-learning-v2): observer background process crashes immediately

Three bugs prevent the observer from running:

1. Nested session detection: When launched from a Claude Code session,
   the child process inherits CLAUDECODE env var, causing `claude` CLI
   to refuse with "cannot be launched inside another session". Fix: unset
   CLAUDECODE in the background process.

2. set -e kills the loop: The parent script's `set -e` is inherited by
   the subshell. When `claude` exits non-zero (e.g. max turns reached),
   the entire observer loop dies. Fix: `set +e` in the background process.

3. Subshell dies when parent exits: `( ... ) & disown` loses IO handles
   when the parent shell exits, killing the background process. Fix: use
   `nohup /bin/bash -c '...'` for full detachment, and `sleep & wait`
   to allow SIGUSR1 to interrupt sleep without killing the process.

Additionally, the prompt for Haiku now includes the exact instinct file
format inline (YAML frontmatter with id/trigger/confidence/domain/source
fields), since the previous prompt referenced "the observer agent spec"
which Haiku could not actually read, resulting in instinct files that
the CLI parser could not parse.

* fix: address review feedback on observer process management

- Use `env` to pass variables to child process instead of quote-splicing,
  avoiding shell injection risk from special chars in paths
- Add USR1_FIRED flag to prevent double analysis when SIGUSR1 interrupts
  the sleep/wait cycle
- Track SLEEP_PID and kill it in both TERM trap and USR1 handler to
  prevent orphaned sleep processes from accumulating
- Consolidate cleanup logic into a dedicated cleanup() function

* fix: guard PID file cleanup against race condition on restart

Only remove PID file in cleanup trap if it still belongs to the
current process, preventing a restarted observer from losing its
PID file when the old process exits.
