Subject: [PATCH] test(agents): run agents from an empty directory, not the
 checkout

From the checkout, agents read its AGENTS.md and docs: Hermes concluded
from docs/IDX_NEWS.md that news "is not implemented" and failed the news
case it had passed before the doc existed. Users' agents never see our
repo, so run every agent from an empty directory under the work dir.
