Brings the awesome-copilot copy of the signals-dashboard (Cairn) extension to parity with jennyf19/the-workshop@bc708fe. The desk cards' path button becomes an open button: clicking it launches a Copilot CLI in that desk's folder, oriented to read the journal and continue, mirroring the workshop app's console launcher. This keeps every desk inside the one workshop repo instead of spinning off a separate checkout.
The launcher prefers a wrapper agent CLI when one is on PATH (env-overridable via WORKSHOP_DESK_AGENT), and falls back to vanilla 'copilot' otherwise, so it works out of the box for everyone. New open_desk canvas action; /api/open now returns whether a terminal launched. plugin.json and assets/preview.png are unchanged.

The dashboard is a canvas extension that ships standalone, not bundled
in the plugin. Installing the-workshop delivers skills/agent/desks only;
the signals-dashboard canvas installs separately and renders in the
GitHub Copilot app. Replaces the false 'bundled... nothing else to
install' claim with the real two-install path.

Address the remaining doc/skill review findings:
- workshop-create: 'gh repo create --clone' clones into the CWD, which
nests the new repo when run from inside a checkout. Add an explicit
clone-parent selection + 'rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree' guard, and
run the create from that parent.
- workshop-create: desks/ and bench/ were scaffolded empty, so Git drops
them and a later clone loses the scaffold. Scaffold .gitkeep in each
and commit the placeholders.
- bench-read: make <workshop>/bench/ the primary shared location (the
directory workshop-create actually establishes) with desk-local
artifacts as a secondary source, instead of treating the repo root as
the bench.
- the-workshop README: add the Workshop Create skill to the component
table so all six packaged components are documented.

The signals-dashboard canvas extension bundles with the-workshop
plugin (x-awesome-copilot.extensions), so installing the plugin from
awesome-copilot includes the dashboard. Drop the pointers telling
users to install from jennyf19/the-workshop.
Addresses PR review comments on README (Cairn Dashboard section),
signal-write SKILL note, and workshop-ta agent viewing-signals note.

The dashboard is the centerpiece — real-time agent coordination
view showing desk status, signal types, intent text, outcome
pairing with honesty gap, token usage, and stash/restore controls.
Includes all updates from the-workshop PRs #3-#7:
- Empty state guidance for new users
- Token usage display per desk
- TA partnership signals + Cairn awareness
- Intent-as-text (execution signals use descriptive text)
- Outcome signal pairing with honesty gap calibration
- Open desk button
- Subtype labels (done/checkpoint/blocked/hands-up)

Syncs with jennyf19/the-workshop PR #8 (merged). Adds the
workshop-create skill with Path A (existing dir) and Path B
(new GitHub repo), explicit guard against repo-in-repo nesting.
TA agent updated with workshop-create section.

- 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.
