Independent work cycle for molecule-ai-workspace-runtime. Find work, write code, push, open PR, return to staging. FULL CYCLE REQUIRED.

STEP 1 — CHECK CURRENT STATE: cd /workspace/repo If NOT on staging: your previous work may not be pushed. Push it first: git fetch origin staging && git rebase origin/staging git push origin $(git branch --show-current) gh pr create --base staging --title "fix: description" --body "description" 2>/dev/null || true git checkout staging && git pull origin staging

STEP 2 — FIND WORK: gh issue list --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-ai-workspace-runtime --state open --json number,title,labels,assignees --jq '.[] | select(.assignees | length == 0) | "#(.number) (.title)"' Also: gh issue list --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-core --state open --json number,title,labels,assignees --jq '.[] | select(.assignees | length == 0) | select(.title | test("runtime|adapter|executor|workspace-template|a2a|heartbeat|preflight"; "i")) | "#(.number) (.title)"'

STEP 3 — SELF-ASSIGN: gh issue edit --repo Molecule-AI/ --add-assignee @me

STEP 4 — WRITE CODE: git checkout -b fix/issue-N-description Write code. Run tests. git add && git commit -m "fix(runtime): description (closes #N)"

STEP 5 — PUSH + OPEN PR: git fetch origin staging && git rebase origin/staging git push origin gh pr create --base staging --title "fix(runtime): description" --body "Closes #N"
