bug(cli): doctor CRLF repair hint is unavailable to installed users #2363
Description
Bug
The working-tree line-ending doctor check tells users to run npm run fix:crlf. That script exists only in the Squad source repository and is unavailable to consumers of npm or standalone installs.
Expected
Doctor should provide an install-aware recovery path, for example a supported squad doctor --fix-crlf command or a safe Git command sequence that works in the user's repository. The hint must not assume the Squad development checkout or its package scripts are present.
Add coverage for npm-global and standalone invocation text.

Hi @bradygaster and @tamirdresher I'd be interested in working on this issue if it's available.
I looked into the current implementation in
packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/doctor.tsand noticed that the CRLF diagnostic recommendsnpm run fix:crlf, while the underlying repair script lives at the repository root and isn't available to users of the published CLI.I also noticed that
test/scripts/crlf-worktree-repair.test.tscurrently asserts this command.My proposed approach would be to provide an installation-independent repair path, potentially through
squad doctor --fix-crlf, while preserving the existing safety guarantees, particularly avoiding overwriting files with genuine uncommitted changes. I'd also update the diagnostic and add regression tests covering npm-global and standalone installations.I noticed the issue is included in
wave1:P7, so I wanted to check whether it's already being handled as part of that work group or if it's available for an external contributor.If it's available, I'd be happy to take ownership and submit a focused PR following the repository's contribution guidelines.
Thanks!
