workspace_init: {e}

Error message

workspace_init: {e}

What it means

Scaffolding the workspace (dirs, bundled prompts, HEARTBEAT.md) failed at the ops layer; wrapped with the tool name. The optional `force` flag needs no validation, so this is an IO failure creating or replacing workspace files.
