feat(brain-repo): add .claude/agent-memory to WATCH_PATHS

[mt-alarcon]

Problem

Agents with durable memory write to .claude/agent-memory/ (e.g. nova-product/clients_*, raven-critic/feedback_*). This path was not included in WATCH_PATHS, so the Brain Repo never observed or mirrored those files — agent memory was silently lost on every sync.

Changes

• dashboard/backend/brain_repo/watcher.py — add .claude/agent-memory to WATCH_PATHS (the filesystem observer list)
• dashboard/backend/brain_repo/job_runner.py — add .claude/agent-memory to _WATCH_PATHS (the mirror pipeline list)

Both lists must stay in sync: watcher.py controls what paths are observed for change events; job_runner.py controls what paths are copied during the mirror pipeline.

Impact

Any EvoNexus instance using custom agents with persistent memory (agent-memory/ subdirs) will now have that memory versioned automatically by the Brain Repo. No behavior change for instances without custom agents.

Testing

• Confirm WATCH_PATHS in watcher.py and _WATCH_PATHS in job_runner.py both include .claude/agent-memory
• Write a file to .claude/agent-memory/ and verify it triggers a Brain Repo sync after debounce

Summary by Sourcery

Bug Fixes:

• Preserve custom agents' durable memory by including .claude/agent-memory in the brain repo watcher paths and mirror pipeline paths.

Reviewer's Guide

Adds the .claude/agent-memory directory to both the file watcher and mirror pipeline so agent durable memory is observed and versioned by the Brain Repo.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

• Since WATCH_PATHS and _WATCH_PATHS must stay in sync, consider extracting them to a single shared constant or config source to avoid future divergence when paths are added or changed.
