feat: team-aware /retro v2.0 — per-person praise and growth opportunities

- Identify current user via git config, orient narrative as "you" vs teammates
- Add per-author metrics: commits, LOC, focus areas, commit type mix, sessions
- New "Your Week" section with personal deep-dive for whoever runs the command
- New "Team Breakdown" with per-person praise and growth opportunities
- Track AI-assisted commits via Co-Authored-By trailers
- Personal + team shipping streaks
- Tone: praise like a 1:1, growth like investment advice, never compare negatively

First, fetch origin and identify the current user:

# Identify who is running the retro

The name returned by `git config user.name` is **"you"** — the person reading this retro. All other authors are teammates. Use this to orient the narrative: "your" commits vs teammate contributions.

### Step 9: Week-over-Week Trends (if window >= 14d)
### Step 9: Team Member Analysis
For each contributor (including the current user), compute:
1. **Commits and LOC** — total commits, insertions, deletions, net LOC
2. **Areas of focus** — which directories/files they touched most (top 3)
3. **Commit type mix** — their personal feat/fix/refactor/test breakdown
4. **Session patterns** — when they code (their peak hours), session count
5. **Test discipline** — their personal test LOC ratio
6. **Biggest ship** — their single highest-impact commit or PR in the window
**For the current user ("You"):** This section gets the deepest treatment. Include all the detail from the solo retro — session analysis, time patterns, focus score. Frame it in first person: "Your peak hours...", "Your biggest ship..."
**For each teammate:** Write 2-3 sentences covering what they worked on and their pattern. Then:
- **Praise** (1-2 specific things): Anchor in actual commits. Not "great work" — say exactly what was good. Examples: "Shipped the entire auth middleware rewrite in 3 focused sessions with 45% test coverage", "Every PR under 200 LOC — disciplined decomposition."
- **Opportunity for growth** (1 specific thing): Frame as a leveling-up suggestion, not criticism. Anchor in actual data. Examples: "Test ratio was 12% this week — adding test coverage to the payment module before it gets more complex would pay off", "5 fix commits on the same file suggest the original PR could have used a review pass."
**If only one contributor (solo repo):** Skip the team breakdown and proceed as before — the retro is personal.
**If there are Co-Authored-By trailers:** Parse `Co-Authored-By:` lines in commit messages. Credit those authors for the commit alongside the primary author. Note AI co-authors (e.g., `noreply@anthropic.com`) but do not include them as team members — instead, track "AI-assisted commits" as a separate metric.
### Step 10: Week-over-Week Trends (if window >= 14d)
If the time window is 14 days or more, split into weekly buckets and show trends:
- Commits per week
- Commits per week (total and per-author)
- LOC per week
- Test ratio per week
- Fix ratio per week
- Session count per week
### Step 10: Streak Tracking

Count consecutive days with at least 1 commit to origin/main, going back from today. Track both team streak and personal streak:

# Get all unique commit dates (Pacific time) — no hard cutoff
# Team streak: all unique commit dates (Pacific time) — no hard cutoff
TZ=America/Los_Angeles git log origin/main --format="%ad" --date=format:"%Y-%m-%d" | sort -u
# Personal streak: only the current user's commits
TZ=America/Los_Angeles git log origin/main --author="<user_name>" --format="%ad" --date=format:"%Y-%m-%d" | sort -u
```
Count backward from today — how many consecutive days have at least one commit? This queries the full history so streaks of any length are reported accurately. Display: "Shipping streak: 47 consecutive days"

For each teammate (sorted by commits descending), write a section:
#### [Name]
- **What they shipped**: 2-3 sentences on their contributions, areas of focus, and commit patterns
- **Praise**: 1-2 specific things they did well, anchored in actual commits. Be genuine — what would you actually say in a 1:1? Examples:
- "Cleaned up the entire auth module in 3 small, reviewable PRs — textbook decomposition"
- "Added integration tests for every new endpoint, not just happy paths"
- "Fixed the N+1 query that was causing 2s load times on the dashboard"
- **Opportunity for growth**: 1 specific, constructive suggestion. Frame as investment, not criticism. Examples:
- "Test coverage on the payment module is at 8% — worth investing in before the next feature lands on top of it"
- "3 of the 5 PRs were 800+ LOC — breaking these up would catch issues earlier and make review easier"
- "All commits land between 1-4am — sustainable pace matters for code quality long-term"
**AI collaboration note:** If many commits have `Co-Authored-By` AI trailers (e.g., Claude, Copilot), note the AI-assisted commit percentage as a team metric. Frame it neutrally — "N% of commits were AI-assisted" — without judgment.
