* fix(orchestration): type a request ahead of pasted dispatch briefs so Claude workers follow them Claude Code wraps a bracketed paste in <pasted_content> and tells the model to follow instructions inside it only where the user's own message asks. Orca sent the whole dispatch brief as a bare paste, so Claude workers (Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5) refused it as suspected prompt injection. Every dispatch path now types a short lead line in the same PTY write as the paste frame, the preamble drops shouted rules, and dispatch detection accepts the lead line and pasted_content wrapper. Fixes STA-8200 * refactor(orchestration): tidy dispatch lead-line delivery after review - Share one dispatchPreambleSendOptions() across the four dispatch paths. - Fold every C0 control and DEL out of the typed lead line. - Bound the <pasted_content> tag scan and let compaction return null for non-dispatch prompts, removing the separate detector. - Restore the stay-off-other-channels rule in plain wording. - Test through the real status normalizer and trim duplicated assertions. Refs STA-8200 * test(orchestration): guard coordinator auto-dispatch lead line - Capture send options in the coordinator runtime fake and assert the auto-dispatch send uses dispatchPreambleSendOptions. - Drop the helper test that only restated its literal. - Share DispatchPreambleSendOptions with the coordinator runtime contract. Refs STA-8200 * docs(orchestration): fit the pasted-spec note inside the kernel line budget Refs STA-8200 * docs(orchestration): drop the pasted-spec note from the coordinator guide The typed lead line is the fix; the advisory note cost always-loaded context. Refs STA-8200 * fix(orchestration): type the dispatch lead line only for Claude agents Codex discards typed text that shares a PTY write with a bracketed paste, so the lead line never reached it. Only Claude Code needs the lead to follow a pasted brief, so known non-Claude agents now get the pre-lead bytes and unidentified agents keep the lead in case they are Claude. Refs STA-8200
