feat(system): fix(setup): remove stale bootstrap_branch calls for backup, daemon, commons, skills — these branches were removed in S82/S87 and moved to external repos. setup.sh was creating ghost directories with .trinity/ scaffolding that confused new users and made drone route to non-existent agents. Also removed commons/skills from registry generator. Fixes #294 Part 2, relates to #291.

 ### Friction notes
 
-(none active — seedgo __init__.py false positive FIXED by @seedgo in PR #279, 2026-04-14)
+- **watchdog inotify limit (low priority)**: S93 afternoon, `python3 apps/devpulse.py watchdog agent @api` logged `inotify instance limit reached, continuing without file watcher: [Errno 24] inotify instance limit reached`. Watchdog gracefully fell back to PID polling (no functional impact), but the limit hit suggests the system has accumulated lots of file watchers (likely from Claude Code/other dev tools). Worth investigating if this starts blocking something — for now it's a noisy warning, not a failure. Check `cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances` and `lsof | grep inotify | wc -l` when revisiting.

+## Interactive Wake — tmux
+
+Start a Claude session for the user in any project/branch via tmux. User attaches from phone/desktop.
+
+```bash
+tmux new-session -d -s "name" -c "/path/to/branch"
+tmux send-keys -t "name" "claude" Enter
+# User connects: tmux attach -t name
+```
+
+Find the agent first: look for `.trinity/passport.json` to locate the branch path. Use `dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true` on the Bash call. This gives the USER an interactive session they control — different from dispatch (which runs autonomously). Use when the user asks to "wake" or "open" a citizen/project for interactive work.
