Area: orchestration / agent-identity

What happened:
In the 2026-03-20 session, .claude/metaphorex-agents.local.md was missing. All agents fell back to fshot auth silently — the agent-identity skill logged a warning inside agent transcripts, but pitboss never surfaced this to the operator. Multiple PRs were opened under the wrong identity before the operator noticed.

Suggested fix:
Add a pre-flight check in the /work command (Phase A, after sync):

1. Check if .claude/metaphorex-agents.local.md exists
2. If missing, warn the operator and suggest running /configure
3. If present, verify each role's token env var is set
4. Surface any identity issues before dispatching agents

This prevents silent fallback to operator credentials.
