fix(adapter): explain non-recursive artifact scan

[ahcrm-core]

What

Make the unpinned result-artifact failure breadcrumb state that the configured artifact directories are searched directly and subdirectories are not searched.

Why

A completed story spec stored one level below implementation-artifacts currently produces an opaque no-artifact result. Naming the scan boundary makes the failure actionable without broadening the scan and weakening the existing session-ownership safeguards.

Refs #780

How

• Add a focused regression test with a completed result spec under implementation-artifacts/stories/.
• Preserve the existing non-recursive scan and expected_spec / proof-of-work boundaries.
• Expand the no-artifact breadcrumb with the exact scan limitation.

Testing

• Red phase: the new focused test failed before the implementation change.
• uv run pytest -q tests/test_generic_tmux.py: 260 passed, 8 skipped.
• uv run pyright: 0 errors, 0 warnings.
• uv run ruff format --check ... and uv run ruff check ...: passed.
• Full suite in the restricted environment: 10,545 passed, 169 skipped, 27 failed. Twenty-six failures were isolated to the ambient SOCKS proxy; tests/test_opencode_http.py passed 121/121 with proxy variables removed for that run. The remaining socket-entry test is blocked by the environment's PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted. None touches the changed path.

Changelog

Added a Fixed entry under ## [Unreleased].

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Unpinned artifact scans search directly within configured directories, not their subdirectories; nested artifacts are not discovered.
  • Diagnostic messages distinguish single-path lookups from directory scans. They show the checked path for single-path lookups and clarify that directory scans do not include subdirectories.

• Documentation

  • Added an Unreleased changelog note describing the artifact-scan behavior.

Walkthrough

The no-artifact diagnostic distinguishes pinned-path lookups from directory scans. Regression tests cover nested artifacts and both message formats. The changelog describes the non-recursive scan behavior.

Changes

Artifact scan diagnostics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Diagnostic message and regression coverage src/bmad_loop/adapters/generic.py, tests/test_generic_tmux.py, CHANGELOG.md	Pinned-path lookups report the path searched. Directory scans report the listed directories and state that subdirectories are not searched. Tests cover both formats and nested artifacts. The changelog describes the scan behavior.

Thanks for this, @ahcrm-core. The fix is correct and minimal, and keeping the scan flat is the right call.

A maintainer pushed one merge commit to this branch (8563e1a). It merges current main to clear the CHANGELOG.md conflict and repairs the changelog entry:

• The no-artifact with no hint when story specs live in a subfolder (non-recursive artifact glob) #780 bullet contained literal \n characters, so it rendered as one line. It now uses real line breaks.
• The stale base had re-added the untracked_files reads ls-files without -z, so a non-ASCII untracked path comes back C-quoted — the rollback safety-net snapshot then fails its own git add and halts the run #783 bullet, which already shipped in 0.13.0. That duplicate is gone.

The code and tests are unchanged. The suite, pyright and trunk are green locally.

The body now says Refs #780 instead of Closes. This PR clarifies the breadcrumb, but the crumb file is not surfaced anywhere an operator looks. A maintainer follow-up will make the diagnosis visible when a session times out and in bmad-loop validate, and that follow-up will close the issue.
