Switch delegateMode=task handoff to return a prompt string that uses OpenCode's @path attachment syntax instead of inline content. Update the task instructions and add a smoke test to assert the prompt uses @.hive/.../worker-prompt.md with no promptFile.
Assert delegateMode=task emits taskToolCall fields, omits backgroundTaskCall, and embeds the @path prompt reference in instructions. This locks the expected hive_exec_start output shape for task-based delegation.
Clarify that worker-prompt.md is passed by reference via @path tokens for task delegation. Document the recommended task() call pattern and distinguish it from hive background promptFile usage.
Add taskPromptMode: 'opencode-at-file' to hive_exec_start output when delegateMode=task. Include e2e coverage to assert the field is present alongside the task delegation response.
Document that worktrees are isolated and require bun install before running tests or builds in the worktree.
Remove brittle wording assertion for task delegation instructions and add a discovery section to the prompt-mode test plan so approval succeeds in CI. The tests now match the actual guidance string while keeping @path coverage.

PR: Use @path prompt references for task delegation
The change set standardizes how delegateMode=task passes worker prompts by reference, aligns tests with the output contract, and documents the expected behavior.

Prompt an agent to run a small task in delegateMode=task and observe whether it follows the worker prompt file reference during handoff.
Suggested prompt:
"Start a simple Hive task in delegateMode=task and tell me what prompt content you receive during the handoff, including any file references or attachments."
