Workflow Execution

Launch a general-purpose agent that executes all phases in a single task.

Prompt template:

Execute the start-hotfix workflow.

## Pre-operation Checks
Verify working tree is clean per `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/invariants.md`.

## Phase 1: Start Hotfix
**Goal**: Create hotfix branch and bump version.
1. Run `git flow hotfix start $ARGUMENTS`
2. Update version in project files (package.json, Cargo.toml, VERSION, etc.)
3. Stage version files: `git add <modified version files>`
4. Determine the correct Claude model name for co-author attribution
   - Valid models: Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Haiku 4.5
5. Commit with git-agent: `git-agent commit --no-stage --intent "bump version to $ARGUMENTS" --co-author "Claude <Model> <Version> <noreply@anthropic.com>"`
6. On auth error (401), retry with `--free`
7. **Fallback** (git-agent unavailable): `git commit -m "chore: bump version to $ARGUMENTS"` with conventional format and `Co-Authored-By` footer
8. Push the branch: `git push -u origin hotfix/$ARGUMENTS`

Execute: Launch a general-purpose agent using the prompt template above
