fix(sdk): point checkAgentsInstalled at ~/.claude/agents (#2401)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
 - **`/gsd-ingest-docs` command** — Scan a repo containing mixed ADRs, PRDs, SPECs, and DOCs and bootstrap or merge the full `.planning/` setup from them in a single pass. Parallel classification (`gsd-doc-classifier`), synthesis with precedence rules and cycle detection (`gsd-doc-synthesizer`), three-bucket conflicts report (`INGEST-CONFLICTS.md`: auto-resolved, competing-variants, unresolved-blockers), and hard-block on LOCKED-vs-LOCKED ADR contradictions in both new and merge modes. Supports directory-convention discovery and `--manifest <file>` YAML override with per-doc precedence. v1 caps at 50 docs per invocation; `--resolve interactive` is reserved. Extracts shared conflict-detection contract into `references/doc-conflict-engine.md` which `/gsd-import` now also consumes (#2387)
 
 ### Fixed
+- **`init` query agents-installed check looks at the correct directory** — `checkAgentsInstalled` in `sdk/src/query/init.ts` defaulted to `~/.claude/get-shit-done/agents/`, but the installer writes GSD agents to `~/.claude/agents/`. Every init query therefore reported `agents_installed: false` on clean installs, which made workflows refuse to spawn `gsd-executor` and other parallel subagents. The default now matches `sdk/src/init-runner.ts` and the installer (#2400)
 - **Installer now installs `@gsd-build/sdk` automatically** so `gsd-sdk` lands on PATH. Resolves `command not found: gsd-sdk` errors that affected every `/gsd-*` command after a fresh install or `/gsd-update` to 1.36+. Adds `--no-sdk` to opt out and `--sdk` to force reinstall. Implements the `--sdk` flag that was previously documented in README but never wired up (#2385)
