briefs: canonical wait block drops WAIT_FROM, states fresh log path and exit 3

wait-on: delete WAIT_FROM; reused log paths are forbidden instead
Truncating writers (`>`, Unity -logFile) rewrite below any offset, so an offset turned a stale success into a silent hang. The option, the scan branch, its docs and its fixtures are gone; the header states the fresh-log-path rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
briefs: one canonical wait block, fresh/offset log paths, pid-form caveat, consistent scratch paths
F1/F2: Hands block says prefer log+WAIT_PID, pid form means gone not succeeded, fresh log per job or WAIT_FROM at launch. F3: exact Aetheria DOCKER_ARGS mounts. F8: Soul points at the Hands block instead of rewording it; Imagination and Eyes templates name wait-on.sh, <scratchpad>/<agent>/ and py -3; all examples use <scratchpad>/<agent>/.

wait-on: WAIT_FROM start marker, GONE line for pid form, regex validation, executable bit
F1: log form searches only bytes after WAIT_FROM, so a stale done line in a reused log is ignored (also makes the per-check cost independent of log size). F2: pid form prints GONE (no completion evidence). F4: invalid ERE is exit 3. Mode 100755 recorded for wait-on.sh; other tools/ scripts are still 100644. F5, F6, F7 recorded as known limitations in the header. Fixtures added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Briefs: wait through wait-on.sh, py -3, and the 2026-10-07 lessons
Hands and Soul long jobs name tools/wait-on.sh for every non-Yggdrasil wait and forbid bare true/echo/sleep polling (974 idle calls, 324 sleeps). py -3 is the Python that works from Git Bash and PowerShell (65 Store-stub hits). Lessons: own scratchpad subdirectory, wait protocol pasted verbatim, Stryker character offsets from LF content, Aetheria DOCKER_ARGS mounts, rulings quote only the operator.

Add tools/wait-on.sh: one waiter for pids, logs and files
Same contract as ygg-verify.sh wait (270 s cap, bounded tail, RUNNING exit 99, exit 98 for a thing gone with no completion evidence). Windows PIDs are found through tasklist, since kill -0 only knows Git Bash's own. Fixtures in tools/test-tools.sh; INDEX row added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
