description: >
  From T-179 GO. Create bin/claude-fw wrapper script that runs claude, then checks
  for .context/working/.restart-requested signal file on exit. If found (and <5 min
  old), auto-restarts with claude -c. If stale, removes and exits. Includes --no-restart
  flag to opt out.

# T-187: Auto-restart: claude-fw wrapper script

## Context

Component 2 of T-179 auto-restart. Wrapper script that monitors the `.restart-requested` signal file from T-186.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] `bin/claude-fw` wrapper script exists and is executable
- [x] Runs `claude` with all passed arguments
- [x] On exit, checks for `.context/working/.restart-requested` signal file
- [x] Restarts with `claude -c` if signal is fresh (<5 min)
- [x] Ignores stale signals (>5 min old)
- [x] Supports `--no-restart` flag to disable auto-restart

## Verification

test -x /opt/999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework/bin/claude-fw
grep -q "restart-requested" /opt/999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework/bin/claude-fw
grep -q "\-\-no-restart" /opt/999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework/bin/claude-fw
