test: make 14-git-collab worker/project setup deterministic

 - **Remote Worker lifecycle boundary**: Workers now record the applied deployment target in status, reject running target changes until the Worker is Stopped, clean up using the applied target, and register remote Pod watches for Worker/Team status updates.
 - **Team Worker CR decoupling**: Worker identity enrichment and Worker REST APIs now resolve `spec.workerMembers` references, and Teams reject sharing the same referenced Worker CR before injecting coordination context.
 - **Matrix AppService integration**: SSO Human Team admins now resolve through the Human identity source, Matrix AppService transaction push routes are wired into the controller registration path, and registration keeps the homeserver-facing controller URL as the endpoint base.
+- **test(14) deterministic git-collab setup**: `tests/test-14-git-collab.sh` now pre-creates the three workers (alice, bob, charlie) via `hiclaw apply worker`, calls `create-project.sh` to materialise the shared Matrix room + meta.json, marks the project active and syncs it to MinIO before sending the task to Manager. Manager now focuses only on the 4-phase coordination logic; the worker + project setup steps that previously stalled on the Manager tool-guard approval prompt (`jq | mv | cat` to update meta.json) are now part of the test runner and never enter the LLM control loop.

 IMPORTANT: You MUST use the EXACT branch names and file paths specified below. Do not rename, substitute, or simplify them. The verification system checks these exact names.
 
-Before starting any phase:
-1. Ensure workers with usernames exactly 'alice', 'bob', and 'charlie' exist with the git-delegation skill. The username (container name) must match exactly — do not use variations like 'alice-dev' or 'bob-backend'. IMPORTANT: Create any missing workers IN PARALLEL (run all create-worker.sh calls concurrently) to save time — do NOT create them one by one sequentially. When creating any missing worker, use these exact values — do NOT ask me to confirm any of them:
-   - runtime: install default
-   - skills: github-operations, git-delegation
-   - SOUL/role: 'Developer working on a shared git repo using git-delegation workflows'
-   If a worker already exists, reuse it.
-2. Create a shared project room that includes alice, bob, charlie, and the human admin (use the create-project.sh script). All phase assignments and reports MUST happen in this project room — never in individual worker rooms.
+Workers alice, bob, and charlie already exist with the git-delegation skill. The first step of your plan (creating the project room via create-project.sh) is straightforward — they are listed as the workers for the project, and the project ID will be auto-generated. Use YOLO mode auto-confirm so you do not stall waiting for admin.
