process.exit() right after console.log() can drop buffered stdout when it's piped (not a TTY) -- exactly kubectl exec's case. Explains the silent empty-output-exit-1 failures. process.exitCode + natural exit lets the event loop drain and flush first.
git clone is mechanical -- routing it through spawnPi meant a crash gave zero diagnostic output, just a silent exit code. Direct runGit call now, same as commitPending/the squash-merge sequence. Drops the now-unused runStageWithResolver.
The pod's coordinator-src ConfigMap still had the pre-auto-discovery version -- --tasks was required, no task-board parsing, no self-chained stages, no judge model routing. Regenerated from the current source.
Kong key-auth rejected the Authorization: Bearer header every OpenAI-SDK-compatible client sends (verified: raw apikey header works, Bearer doesn't), so it's commented out and stripped from every llm-routes.yaml annotation until there's a Bearer-compatible fix. agent-pod now clones and builds the agent-manager fork from source at container start (no prebuilt binary shipped -- wrong arch and over ConfigMap's size cap) and ships coordinator.js alongside hub.js, so multiple repos can run the pipeline concurrently in one pod via kubectl exec. hub.js keeps its existing role as the container's foreground process, unchanged.
