fix: include agent instructions from .md files in spawned sessions#32
Conversation
Fixed regression in _load_agent_file_metadata() where markdown body content was being discarded (assigned to _body). The function now properly includes the body as 'instruction' in the returned dict, matching how bundle loading handles agent instructions. This ensures agent instructions defined in .md files are available when spawning agent sessions.

Summary
Fixed a regression where agent instructions from .md files were being discarded during agent metadata loading.
Problem
In
_load_agent_file_metadata(), the markdown body was being assigned to_body(discarded) instead of being included in the returned metadata dict. This meant that agent instructions defined in the markdown body of agent.mdfiles were not available when spawning agent sessions.Solution
_bodytobodyto capture the markdown contentinstructionin the returned dict (if non-empty)Related
This fix has a companion change in amplifier-app-cli that updates session_spawner.py to check for the top-level
instructionfield.
