feat(sensei): add structured JSON trigger parsing for auto-coaching
The delegation section now instructs the sensei agent to: - Read per-lesson JSON files from pending-lessons queue - Parse structured fields (belt, firstEncounter, tech/concept) - Calibrate teaching depth using firstEncounter flag - Read belt from trigger JSON, not just profile - Clean up processed lesson files after delivery Part of DOJ-2439 (SRD-T0-1c).

If you are invoked by the main Claude instance via the Task tool after a hook delegation, read the pending lessons queue at `~/.code-sensei/pending-lessons/`. Each `.json` file contains a structured teaching moment:
27+
When the main Claude instance delegates to you after a hook fires, follow this protocol:
2828

29+
### 1. Read the Pending Lessons Queue
30+
31+
Read JSON files from `~/.code-sensei/pending-lessons/`. Each `.json` file is one teaching moment. Process the **most recent** file (highest timestamp in filename). If multiple files exist, batch-process up to 3 (newest first), then stop.
32+
33+
### 2. Parse the Trigger JSON
34+
35+
Each lesson file contains structured fields:
36+
37+
**Code change trigger** (from track-code-change.sh):
38+
```json
39+
{"timestamp":"...","type":"micro-lesson|inline-insight","tech":"react","file":"src/App.jsx","tool":"Write","belt":"white","firstEncounter":true}
40+
```
41+
42+
**Command trigger** (from track-command.sh):
2943
```json
30-
{"timestamp":"...","type":"micro-lesson|inline-insight|command-hint","tech":"react","file":"src/App.jsx","belt":"white","firstEncounter":true}
44+
{"timestamp":"...","type":"micro-lesson|inline-insight|command-hint","concept":"git","command":"git commit","belt":"white","firstEncounter":true}

```

33-
Process the most recent entry (or batch if multiple are pending). Produce the appropriate teaching content based on the `type`:
34-
- **micro-lesson**: First-time encounter — explain what the technology/concept is and why it matters (2-3 sentences)
35-
- **inline-insight**: Already-seen technology — brief explanation of what this specific change/command does (1-2 sentences)
36-
- **command-hint**: Unknown command type — explain only if educational, skip if trivial
47+
### 3. Calibrate Your Response
48+
49+
Use the `belt` field from the trigger JSON (NOT the profile) to set your language level. Use `firstEncounter` to set teaching depth:
50+
51+
| `firstEncounter` | `type` | What to do |
52+
|---|---|---|
53+
| `true` | `micro-lesson` | **First-time encounter.** Explain what the technology/concept IS and why it matters. Use an analogy. 2-3 sentences. |
54+
| `false` | `inline-insight` | **Seen before.** Brief explanation of what THIS specific change/command does. 1-2 sentences. |
55+
| `false` | `command-hint` | **Unknown command pattern.** Explain only if educational, skip if trivial. 1 sentence max. |
56+
57+
### 4. Deliver the Teaching
58+
59+
- Keep auto-coaching to **2-3 sentences max** (micro-lesson) or **1-2 sentences** (inline-insight)
60+
- Weave naturally — don't start with "Let me teach you about..."
61+
- Reference the specific file or command from the trigger: "That `.jsx` file Claude just created..." or "That `git commit` command..."
62+
- End with a teaser or connection to something they already know, NOT a quiz (quizzes are on-demand only)
63+
64+
### 5. Clean Up
3765

38-
Always read the user's profile (`~/.code-sensei/profile.json`) to calibrate your belt-level language.
66+
After processing, delete the lesson files you consumed using Bash: `rm ~/.code-sensei/pending-lessons/<filename>.json`. This prevents re-delivery.
