Problem

hire-an-agent looks for formulas/<role>.toml by default, but several agents have formulas named run-<role>.toml (gardener, supervisor, planner, predictor, architect). Running:

disinto hire-an-agent gardener-bot gardener

fails with:

Error: formula not found at formulas/gardener.toml

The --formula flag works as a workaround but the default should handle both naming conventions.

Proposed solution

In the formula lookup, try both formulas/<role>.toml and formulas/run-<role>.toml before failing:

local formula_path="${FACTORY_ROOT}/formulas/${role}.toml"
if [ ! -f "$formula_path" ]; then
  formula_path="${FACTORY_ROOT}/formulas/run-${role}.toml"
fi

Affected files

bin/disinto (disinto_hire_an_agent function)

Acceptance criteria

disinto hire-an-agent gardener-bot gardener finds formulas/run-gardener.toml automatically
disinto hire-an-agent dev-bot dev still finds formulas/dev.toml
--formula override still works
