+# 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.
