- Explain that `--no-parent` only controls Orca lineage, not the Git
base branch, and detail how to target independent top-level work.
- Define full handoffs as ownership transfer and forbid the use of
orchestration dispatch injection for them.
- Update CLI help text for `orca worktree create` to reflect the
lineage and base-branch guidance.
- Add tests to verify that these guidance patterns exist in the skill
markdown files.
- Document and update the CLI help, specs, and tests to explicitly guide
users toward `orca terminal create --worktree active --command <agent>`
to launch a fresh agent session in the current checkout.
- Update orchestration and orca-cli skills to prefer active-worktree
terminals when dependent on uncommitted files or active branch state,
distinguishing them from separate worktree creation.
Adds an RPM Linux package target and renames the Linux CLI command to orca-ide to avoid shadowing GNOME Orca, while preserving macOS and Windows CLI command behavior.\n\nFollow-up hardening keeps the Linux launcher executable, removes only old Orca-managed Linux/WSL orca launchers during migration, preserves AppImage/deb artifact names, and updates package/release tests for the RPM asset.
Sharpens the routing boundary so agents reliably pick the right skill:
orchestration owns agent-to-agent messaging (writes that target another
AI agent's terminal), while orca-cli owns worktrees, browser, and
non-agent terminal I/O — including reads and waits on agent terminals.
Validated against adversarial routing tests.

* fix(skills): remove broken doc references in orca-cli SKILL.md
Three files listed under ## References do not exist in the repository:
docs/orca-cli-focused-v1-status.md, docs/orca-cli-v1-spec.md, and
docs/orca-runtime-layer-design.md. Agents following the skill would hit
dead links when trying to resolve ambiguous CLI behavior. Replace the
stale list with a general pointer to the docs/ directory.

Add guidance for coding agents to keep worktree comments updated at meaningful
checkpoints, making work-in-progress status visible in the Orca UI without
explicit user requests.
