The .agent.md suffix leaked into the component ID registered
with the marketplace. Renaming gives a clean 'workshop-ta'
identifier while the frontmatter display name stays unchanged.

Never initialize over existing journal.md — if the desk directory
already exists, resume it instead. Operator must explicitly rename
or archive before reusing a desk name.

- desk-open: add 'Session orientation' section explaining the
session→journal→signals lifecycle. Desks are long-running in
state (journal), not runtime (each session is independent).
- workshop-ta: partnership signals write to desks/_ta/.signals/
so they appear on the dashboard without replacing any desk's
latest signal. TA uses the _ta prefix to indicate coordinator.

- desk-open: standard desk structure now creates .signals/ directory
(prevents first signal-write from failing on missing parent dir)
- signal-write: note that dashboard reads subtype field, falls back
to signal_type for backward compat

- plugin.json: use ./agents/workshop-ta.md path format (matches all other plugins)
- workshop-ta front matter: name 'Workshop TA' preserves acronym (was 'workshop-ta')
- signal-write: add subtype field (hands-up/blocked/done/checkpoint/partnership)
so dashboard consumers can distinguish specific signal states
- npm run build: regenerated docs/README.agents.md

The Workshop puts long-running AI agents (desks) in the same room,
on the same work, each with its own memory and history, sharing one
workspace so you direct the work instead of relaying it.
Components:
- Workshop TA agent (room coordinator)
- Skills: desk-open, desk-journal, signal-write, bench-read
- Marketplace entry for one-command install
Install: copilot plugin install the-workshop@awesome-copilot
Complements Ember (partnership for one agent) with coordination
for many agents. Install both for the full stack.
