Merged
Conversation
Adds a `poll` subcommand that queries GitHub for new issues and PRs and outputs them as a JSON array of Event objects matching the merlin daemon schema. Supports --since filtering, --types, --label, and --repo options. Closes CorvidLabs/merlin#245. Co-Authored-By: Corvid Agent <corvid-agent@users.noreply.github.com>

… dirs (#8) Two real failures we just saw the corvidagent hit on a corvid-verify PR #5 lookup: 1. `github repo view CorvidLabs/corvid-verify` failed with `unknown argument 'CorvidLabs/corvid-verify'`. `gh repo view` takes the repo as a positional natively, and the agent reasonably tried the same shape. Accept it when the token looks like `owner/name` (contains a `/`); -R still works for explicit form. 2. `github repo file Sources -R CorvidLabs/corvid-verify` died with `jq: expected an object but got: array`. The contents API returns an array for directories; we were piping that into a jq filter that assumed an object with a .content field. Probe the response type once, then render: file -> decoded contents (unchanged), directory -> name<TAB>type<TAB>size listing. Same command for both, agent can now browse a remote repo with one tool instead of getting stuck.

Merlin's new daemon mode (#244 in CorvidLabs/merlin) needs a fledge plugin to poll GitHub for events. This command bridges the existing github plugin to the daemon's polling interface.
