fix(kyberforge): bridge apm content to Claude Code's flat plugin discovery

Claude Code's (and Copilot's) native plugin installer has zero awareness of
.apm/ nesting -- it convention-scans only flat skills/, agents/, commands/,
hooks.json at each plugin's root. Confirmed via strings on the installed
claude binary and live installs of git@holocron/gitea@holocron/kyberforge@
holocron, all reporting Skills(0) Agents(0) Hooks(0) post ADR-0015's apm
conversion. Root cause (apm_cli/core/plugin_manifest.py): apm's plugin.json
compiler deliberately strips skills/agents/commands keys, assuming the host
already auto-discovers those convention directories -- it has no model of
.apm/ being host-visible at all. Separately, apm's own bundle exporter
(apm_cli/bundle/plugin_exporter.py, behind `apm pack --format plugin`)
implements the correct .apm/ -> flat mapping, but only ever targeted
build/<name>-<version>/, a path nothing in marketplace.json's source: points
at.

scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh wraps that bundle exporter and copies its
agents/, skills/, commands/, instructions/, extensions/, and merged
hooks.json back into each plugin's own root as a second tracked
compiled-output category -- same governance status as
.claude-plugin/plugin.json: generated from .apm/, never hand-edited. tests/
subdirectories are excluded from the mirror (dev fixtures, not host-visible
runtime content; several hardcode a relative repo-root walk-up sized for the
.apm/-nested depth, which breaks when duplicated one level shallower).
Applied for real across all 6 plugins and verified two ways: `claude plugin
validate --strict` passes on every real plugin directory, and a live
`claude --plugin-dir <path> -p "list skills/agents"` behavioral test
confirms content is now actually discovered.

Also, from the same issue #90 review round:
- scripts/check-manifests.sh pointed at each plugin's root-level plugin.json
  (checking skills/hooks/mcpServers/agents pointer fields) -- that file was a
  stale near-duplicate of .claude-plugin/plugin.json nothing else read or
  wrote, now deleted across all 6 plugins. check-manifests.sh is rewritten to
  validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json instead, and drops the pointer-field
  checks entirely (nothing to check -- those fields are correctly absent by
  design). Content-presence drift is now check-plugin-content-sync's job, a
  new pre-push hook wired in .pre-commit-config.yaml.

docs/adr/0017 records the root cause and decision in full, including two
rejected alternatives (patching plugin.json's path fields directly -- apm's
compiler strips them on every run; pointing marketplace.json at apm pack's
build/ output -- a version-suffixed non-source directory nothing can install
from without an extra build step). ADR-0015 and CONTEXT.md are updated to
point at it.

# vale-config
Install and configure Vale, the prose/style linter — `.vale.ini`, `StylesPath`, built-in/third-party/custom styles, and activation via `BasedOnStyles`.
## What it does
Covers the setup side of Vale: getting a project from no config to a working `.vale.ini` where `vale sync` runs clean and every declared style is actually activated for the right files. Does not run Vale or interpret its output — see `vale-run` for that.
## Usage
```
/vale-config
```
Describe what you want configured: initial setup, adding a third-party style package, or a custom rule. The skill covers install, `StylesPath` layout, `.vale.ini` structure, and `BasedOnStyles` activation.
## Files

| `references/configuration-reference.md` | Full `.vale.ini` field and rule-header reference |

description: >
Use when installing or configuring Vale, the cross-platform prose/style linter — setting up
.vale.ini, choosing a StylesPath, adding built-in, third-party, or custom styles, and activating
them per file glob via BasedOnStyles. Covers the setup side of Vale only: getting a project from
"no Vale config" to "vale sync runs clean and BasedOnStyles is wired up correctly". Use even if the
user doesn't say "Vale" explicitly — "set up prose linting", "lint our docs for style", "enforce a
vocabulary/terminology list in markdown" all apply. Do not use when the user wants to actually run
Vale and interpret its output on existing config — use vale-run for that.

## Gotchas
- Installing the `vale` binary installs no styles, but only *package* styles need fetching. A fresh `.vale.ini` naming a style in `BasedOnStyles` that is declared in `Packages` will fail or find nothing until `vale sync` downloads it. A built-in style (`Vale`) or a style whose YAML rule files are already committed under `StylesPath` lints immediately, with no `Packages` entry and no sync.
- `.vale.ini` is order-sensitive: global (core) settings first, then the optional `[formats]` section, then glob sections (`[*]`, `[*.md]`, …). Settings in a glob section only apply to files matching that glob.
- `Packages` (top-level, fetched by `vale sync`) and `BasedOnStyles` (per-glob, activates) are separate keys — a style only lints files once it's in both. This is the step people forget.
- A rule scoped to `text.frontmatter.<key>` (e.g. `text.frontmatter.description`) matches reliably when that field's value is a single physical line, and breaks on most — not all — multi-line forms. Confirmed against Vale 3.15.2 with a deliberately-bad fixture: a `>` folded block scalar, plain (unquoted) continuation lines, and single- or double-quoted multi-line scalars each yield 0 findings and exit 0, silently and with no error; a `|` literal block scalar spanning the same 2+ lines lints normally and exits 1. Do not assume `|` and `>` behave alike — reproduce both against your own config before trusting a frontmatter-scoped rule in production. If the field is commonly authored in one of the broken forms, flatten it to one physical line ahead of the `vale` call rather than relying on the scope alone.
## Setup workflow
- [ ] **Install** the `vale` binary: `brew install vale` (macOS), `snap install vale` (Linux), `choco install vale` (Windows), or `docker pull jdkato/vale`.
- [ ] **Pick a `StylesPath`** (conventionally `styles`) and create it. This is where all styles, dictionaries, and vocab live.
- [ ] **Write `.vale.ini`** at the project root with at minimum:
```ini
StylesPath = styles
MinAlertLevel = suggestion
[*.md]
BasedOnStyles = Vale
```
`Vale` here is the built-in style (`Vale.Spelling`, `Vale.Terms`, `Vale.Avoid`, `Vale.Repetition`) — no download needed, it always works.
- [ ] **Add third-party styles** (optional) by declaring them in `Packages`, then activating them in the same or another glob's `BasedOnStyles`:
```ini
Packages = Google, write-good
[*.md]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, Google, write-good
```
- [ ] **Sync**: run `vale sync` to download everything listed in `Packages` into `StylesPath`.
- [ ] **Verify activation**: confirm every style named in `Packages` also appears in at least one glob's `BasedOnStyles` — an unreferenced package downloads but never lints anything.
For the full `.vale.ini` field reference (formats mapping, vocab, local overrides, custom rule header fields), read `references/configuration-reference.md`.
## Custom styles
A custom style is just a new subdirectory under `StylesPath`, holding one YAML file per rule:
```
styles/
└── MyStyle/
└── NoJargon.yml
```
Each rule file needs `extends` (the check it implements, e.g. `existence`) and `message` at minimum. Activate the style the same way as any other: add `MyStyle` to `BasedOnStyles` for the relevant glob. See `references/configuration-reference.md` for the full rule header field table.

## Core Settings
| Key | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `StylesPath` | string | Path to all Vale-related resources (styles, dictionaries, vocab). |
| `Packages` | string[] | Packages to download and install via `vale sync`. |
| `Vocab` | string[] | Vocabularies to load. |
| `MinAlertLevel` | enum | Minimum severity to report: `suggestion`, `warning`, or `error`. |
| `IgnoredScopes` | enum | Inline-level HTML tags to ignore. |
| `SkippedScopes` | enum | Block-level HTML tags to ignore entirely. |
## Format Associations
Map an unrecognized extension onto a supported one so Vale lints it with the right parser — an extension-level substitution only, it does not add new file-type support:
```ini
[formats]
mdx = md
```
## Vocabularies
Reference a named vocabulary (a folder of accept/reject word lists under `StylesPath`) via `Vocab`, then apply styles per glob:
```ini
StylesPath = styles
Vocab = Blog
[*]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, MyStyle
```
## Local Overrides
A project can layer a local `.vale.ini` that overrides `StylesPath`, adds packages, and changes `BasedOnStyles` for a subset of files — local settings merge with or override the global ones:
```ini
StylesPath = localpath
Packages = write-good
[*.md]
BasedOnStyles = write-good
```
## Rule Header Fields
Individual rule YAML files (under a style's directory) support these header fields:
| Field | Required | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| `extends` | yes | — | Check this rule extends (e.g. `existence`). |
| `message` | yes | — | Message shown when triggered; supports `%s` formatting per check type. |
| `level` | no | `suggestion` | Severity: `suggestion`, `warning`, or `error`. |
| `scope` | no | `text` | Scope the rule applies to (e.g. `heading`). |
| `link` | no | — | URL with more info about the rule. |
| `limit` | no | — | Max number of triggers per file. |
| `vocab` | no | `true` | Set `false` to disable active vocabularies for this rule. |
## Checks
The underlying functions a rule's `extends` field can reference: `existence`, `substitution`, `occurrence`, `repetition`, `consistency`, `conditional`, `capitalization`, `metric`, `spelling`, `sequence`, `script`.
## Built-in Style
Vale ships with a default `Vale` style containing four rules, usable without `vale sync`:
- `Vale.Spelling` — spell-checks against Hunspell-compatible dictionaries in `<StylesPath>/config/dictionaries`.
- `Vale.Terms` — enforces the project's accepted vocabulary terms.
- `Vale.Avoid` — enforces the project's rejected vocabulary terms.
- `Vale.Repetition` — flags repeated words (e.g. "the the").
