(Migrated from github.com)

Adds :ShepherdAgent, the Neovim side of shepherd agent (jwarykowski/shepherd#51, subtasks in #53).

:ShepherdAgent: pick an open item or subtask, hand it to a coding agent. :ShepherdAgent 3 / 3.2 / an item id hands that one off directly; any other argument filters the picker.
:ShepherdList gains an agent action on open items.
Inside herdr ($HERDR_ENV), shepherd creates a worktree and starts the agent in its own pane, so the call runs async with a notify and refreshes counts. Outside herdr the agent CLI needs a TTY, so it runs in the floating terminal.
Board-scoped like every other verb.
Pure helpers agent_argv and is_ref with specs (32 pass locally). README and CONTRIBUTING updated.

Needs a shepherd release that has shepherd agent; merge after shepherd#51 ships. The demo gif doesn't show the new command yet (vhs not installed here).

Adds `:ShepherdAgent`, the Neovim side of `shepherd agent` (jwarykowski/shepherd#51, subtasks in #53). - `:ShepherdAgent`: pick an open item or subtask, hand it to a coding agent. `:ShepherdAgent 3` / `3.2` / an item id hands that one off directly; any other argument filters the picker. - `:ShepherdList` gains an **agent** action on open items. - Inside herdr (`$HERDR_ENV`), shepherd creates a worktree and starts the agent in its own pane, so the call runs async with a notify and refreshes counts. Outside herdr the agent CLI needs a TTY, so it runs in the floating terminal. - Board-scoped like every other verb. - Pure helpers `agent_argv` and `is_ref` with specs (32 pass locally). README and CONTRIBUTING updated. Needs a shepherd release that has `shepherd agent`; merge after shepherd#51 ships. The demo gif doesn't show the new command yet (vhs not installed here).

Closing: this calls shepherd agent from shepherd#51, which is closed. Once shepherd#61 lands, nvim-shepherd can call shepherd go <ref> instead.
