docs(team-leader): simplify worker name guidance

changelog/current.md

@@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ Record image-affecting changes to `manager/`, `worker/`, `copaw/`, `openclaw-bas
 - **Legacy Team channel policy**: Legacy Team reconciliation now writes final Matrix channel allow-lists to member runtime config and re-adds the Team Leader to the Manager allow-list so controller integration tests observe durable policy state.
 - **Sandbox worker-deps hardening**: Sandbox-backed Workers now prepare controller-owned worker-deps env/token/data material before claim creation, recycle stale SandboxClaims and bound Sandboxes on runtime-affecting changes, and use bounded ServiceAccount token projection for built-in SandboxClaim mounts.
 - **CLI AgentTeams auth env**: The `hiclaw` CLI now discovers `AGENTTEAMS_CONTROLLER_URL`, `AGENTTEAMS_AUTH_TOKEN`, `AGENTTEAMS_AUTH_TOKEN_FILE`, and `AGENTTEAMS_CLUSTER_ID` while preserving legacy `HICLAW_*` fallbacks, so Manager and Worker containers can use the terminal env names for controller calls.
+- **Team Leader task routing guidance**: Leader project/task skills now describe Worker `assignedTo` values with a concise Matrix-localpart rule instead of long defensive warning blocks.
 - **CoPaw worker runtime environment**: CoPaw workers now prefer AgentTeams storage/runtime environment variables while preserving legacy HiClaw fallbacks, and Qwen-style model health preflights disable thinking for lightweight readiness checks.
 - **CoPaw Worker heartbeat**: CoPaw worker templates now seed heartbeat at a 10-minute interval so Team Leader agents created from the worker template can run heartbeat turns without requiring an explicit Team CR heartbeat spec.
 - **Helm CRDs**: Removed unsupported `propertyNames` schema fields from Worker and Team CRDs so Kubernetes API servers accept the chart CRDs.
