[macOS] `hive-mind spawn` hangs: printed Swarm ID never shows up in `hive-mind status`, workers stay `idle`, tasks remain `0`

## Summary

Following the README instructions, spawning a new Hive Mind reports that the swarm is initialized and workers are starting, but then everything stalls. The Swarm ID printed by `spawn` never appears in `hive-mind status`. Instead, `status` shows a different swarm with `0` tasks and all workers `idle`. Waiting >3,000 seconds shows no progress.

There also appears to be an **ID mismatch/normalization issue**: the `spawn` output uses an ID with **underscores**, while `status` shows a different ID with **hyphens** and different numeric segments. An MCP `memory_usage` store event writes to yet another swarm namespace, suggesting the components aren’t referencing the same swarm.

## Steps to Reproduce

1. In a clean project directory, initialize:

```bash
npx claude-flow@alpha init --force
```
2. Spawn a hive mind (per docs):

```bash
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "gameplay" --namespace gameplay --claude
```
3. Observe the spawn output and then check status:

```bash
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind status
```

## Expected Behavior

* The Swarm ID printed by `spawn` appears in `hive-mind status`.
* Initial tasks are created (>0), and workers progress from `idle` to `in progress`.
* Ongoing activity/updates are visible within a reasonable time.

## Actual Behavior

* `spawn` prints an initialized swarm and “deploying” message, then stalls indefinitely. Example:

```
🐝 HIVE MIND INITIALIZED - Swarm ID: swarm_1755248730668_xjfiuzvrf

Active Workers:
- 🔬 researcher-alpha: Game mechanics, player psychology, market analysis
- 💻 coder-beta: Game engine, physics, rendering, optimization
- 📊 analyst-gamma: Performance metrics, UX, balancing
- 🧪 tester-delta: QA testing, bug tracking, playtesting

Now deploying the swarm to begin gameplay development. Let me coordinate the workers on initial tasks:
```
* MCP events show mixed IDs/namespaces:

```
⏺ claude-flow - swarm_status (MCP)(swarmId: "swarm_1755248730668_xjfiuzvrf")

⏺ claude-flow - memory_usage (MCP)(action: "store", key: "hive/phase1/complete", value: "Research and architecture phase
complete. Core mechanics defined: 3-layer loop system, hybrid-casual balance, ECS
architecture, performance targets set.", namespace: "swarm-1755248699199")
```

> Note: `swarm_status` references `swarm_1755248730668_xjfiuzvrf` (underscores),
> while `memory_usage` writes under `swarm-1755248699199` (hyphens, different numbers).
* `hive-mind status` shows **another** swarm entirely, with no tasks and all workers `idle`:

```

* After >3,000 seconds, nothing progresses.

## Observations / Hypothesis

* **Swarm ID normalization mismatch** (underscores vs hyphens) and differing numeric suffixes suggest the CLI, MCP event handlers, and persistence layer are not referring to the same swarm record.
* The “Now deploying … initial tasks” message doesn’t result in any tasks; the task seeding/enqueue step may be failing or writing to the wrong namespace.
* MCP `memory_usage` storing under a different swarm namespace further indicates cross-wiring between IDs.

## Workarounds Tried

* Re-initializing with `init --force`.
* Re-running `spawn` and polling `status` for >3,000 seconds.
No effective workaround found.

## Environment

* **OS:** macOS 15.6 (Sequoia)
* **Hardware:** Apple Silicon (M-series)
* **Editor:** Claude Code (latest version)
* **CLI invocation:** `npx claude-flow@alpha`
* **Network:** No special proxy/VPN involved (standard home connection)

> If helpful, I can re-run with verbose/debug (e.g., `DEBUG=claude-flow*`) and share full logs.

Start by reproducing the issue with the documented `hive-mind spawn` and `hive-mind status` commands, then trace how their Swarm IDs are passed through the MCP `swarm_status` and `memory_usage` entry points. Compare the generated identifiers and namespaces, and verify task seeding. Done means the spawned ID appears in status, tasks are created, and workers progress beyond idle.
