Merge pull request 'fix(routing): הוראת-יו"ר תעבוד בדרך הטבעית — הערה פותחת הרצת-CEO' (#415) from worktree-natural-comment-routing into main

**התסמין:** היו"ר כותב הוראה על תיק והסוכן "מתעלם". ההרצה מדווחת succeeded/exit 0
ואפילו עולה כסף — ולכן זה שרד חודשים בלי שמישהו שם לב.

**שתי סיבות-שורש בלתי-תלויות, שתיהן מאומתות:**

1. ה-wakeup הישיר על ה-issue של התיק מבוטל תמיד: תיק שממתין ליו"ר הוא `in_review`
   ומשויך *לאדם*, ו-Paperclip עונה `issue_assignee_changed` → "אעיר את הבעלים החדש"
   → הבעלים אדם → אף סוכן לא מתעורר.
2. רשת-הביטחון בפלאגין מוסרת את ההוראה כ-`payload.prompt`, וה-runner קורא רק
   `payload.issueId` — הפרומפט נבלע. 18/18 מדידה ב-DB: 0% מסירה, אי-פעם.

**התיקון:** המסלול הטבעי (הערה בטאב-הסוכנים) מפרסם את ההערה בשרשור כרגיל **וגם**
פותח הרצת-CEO עם ההוראה, דרך `pc_open_ceo_run` — הפרימיטיב היחיד שאומת כמגיע
לסוכן (הוכח היום על 1043-02-26: 3,212→7,697 מילים). אותו תיקון ל-interaction-response,
שסובל מאותה תקלה (החצי השני של #228).

**G2 — הסרת מסלול מקביל:** ה-wakeup הנדון-לביטול הוסר מ-`post_comment`; הוא היה
המסלול השני, זה ששותק. כעת מסלול-מסירה קנוני אחד. `mark_comment_routed` מסמן את
ההערה כמנותבת כדי שה-sweep לא יירה הרצת-סרק על מה שכבר טופל.

**G12 — שער-הפלטפורמה:** המגע החדש (`mark_comment_routed`) נחשף דרך
`agent_platform_port.py` בלבד; leak-guard עובר.

התיקון יושב ב-backend (REST) ולא בפלאגין, ולכן אינו חשוף לבאג ה-invocation-scope
שמפיל את ה-sweep. תועד ב-docs/paperclip-quirks.md §7 עם המלכודות שנתקלנו בהן.

+## 7. `agents.invoke({prompt})` — הפרומפט נבלע; רק `payload.issueId` נמסר
+
+**התסמין (מנקודת-מבט היו"ר):** כותבים הוראה לסוכן — והוא "מתעלם". ההרצה נראית תקינה
+לחלוטין: `status=succeeded`, `exit_code=0`, בלי שגיאה, ואפילו עולה כסף. הסוכן מדווח
+"כל התורים ריקים — אין עבודה".
+
+**הסיבה:** `ctx.agents.invoke(agentId, companyId, {prompt, reason})` הוא ה-API **המתועד**
+של ה-Plugin SDK ("*Invoke an agent with a prompt payload*"), ו-`prompt` הוא שדה חובה.
+Paperclip מקבל אותו, שומר אותו ב-`agent_wakeup_requests.payload.prompt` — **וה-runner קורא
+רק `payload.issueId`**. הפרומפט לא מגיע למודל. ה-`reason` כן שורד (ל-`context_snapshot.wakeReason`),
+ולכן זה נראה כאילו משהו נמסר.
+
+מדידה ב-DB (2026-07-16): **18 מתוך 18** ה-wakeups שאי-פעם נשאו `payload.prompt` לא הגיעו
+לאף הרצה — 0% מסירה. מול 107,172 wakeups עם `issueId` שעובדים. אימות ישיר: בלוג-ההרצה
+שנבלעה אין ולו אזכור אחד של מספר-התיק, והמודל פותח ב-*"This heartbeat has no scoped wake payload"*.
+
+**מה עושים במקום:** נושאים את ההוראה על **issue**, לא ב-payload — issue-ילד שכבר משויך
+ל-CEO, עם ההוראה ב-`description`, ואז wakeup עם `payload.issueId`. זה בדיוק
+`open_ceo_run` ב-[`web/paperclip_client.py`](../web/paperclip_client.py), והמסלול היחיד
+שאומת כמגיע לסוכן.
+
+**מלכודות שנלוות לזה — אל תיפול בהן שוב:**
+- **`issues.create` של ה-SDK עם `assigneeAgentId` *לא* מעיר את הסוכן.** ה-REST המקביל
+  (`POST /api/issues/:id/children`) *כן* — הוא פולט wakeup `issue_assigned`. אל תכליל
+  מהתנהגות REST על ה-SDK; זה נבדק ונמצא שונה.
+- **`ctx.issues.requestWakeup` (ה-primitive הנכון ב-SDK) נכשל מתוך scheduled job** עם
+  `missing, expired, or unknown invocation scope` — למרות ש-capability `issues.wakeup`
+  מוצהר ומותקן. אותה שגיאה מפילה גם `companies.list` / `issues.list` / `issues.listComments`
+  בתוך ה-sweep, ולכן **רשת-הביטחון `route-pending-comments` אינה אמינה**. לא נחקר לעומק —
+  לכן ניתוב-ההערות הועבר ל-backend של legal-ai (REST), שאינו חשוף לבעיה.
+
+**סטטוס:** נעקף — `POST /api/cases/{case}/agents/comment` ו-`/agents/interaction-response`
+פותחים הרצת-CEO ישירות (REST) ומסמנים את ההערה כמנותבת, כדי שה-sweep השבור לא יירה
+הרצת-סרק. TaskMaster `legal-ai` #228.
