refactor(skills): retrofit the corpus to the ADR-0020 context contract (#129)

Retrofits all 39 skills to ADR-0020's description/body context contract, then fixes what six rounds of independent review found in that retrofit — including four ways the hot gate itself failed open.

Closes #99, #107, #108, #110, #111, #114, #115, #120.

## The retrofit (waves 1-5)

| | Start | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Description FAILs (>400 chars) | 26 | **0** |
| Body FAILs (>900 words, body-only) | 9 | **0** |
| Dangling routing targets | 2 | **0** |
| `Kyberforge.CompositionNote` | 10 | **0** |
| Preload tax | 21,005 chars | **~10,500** |

Under the 12,000-char success criterion. Per-wave detail is on #99.

## The review fixes

**The gate failed open four ways, three of them found after the retrofit shipped.** An unrecognised follower token made a dangling target vanish. A skill directory with no `SKILL.md` resolved as a valid target, so a commit could be green locally and red in a fresh clone — three existing fixtures were relying on that, one of which made the install-leak A/B pass vacuously. Then the free-standing `/name` sweep turned out to be gated on the sentence carrying a boundary marker, so route notation in any other sentence was invisible — not an ERROR, not a SUGGESTION, not an INFO — which left the documented "`/name` always blocks" promise false from a second direction. All four fixed and pinned.

**Two checks were silently not running.** `validate-provenance.sh` checks 7-8 were dead across nine skills. Waking them exposed a deeper problem: they assume `Research doc:` names a source index, but 30 of 121 entries point at topic content documents, so every new check-7 INFO was a false positive and check 8 was saved from a false-FAIL flood only by an *unannounced* skip. Checks 7/8 are now scoped to source indexes and every skip announces itself (#121).

**The retrofit's own anti-goal, four times.** ADR-0020 warns that a blunt gate gets satisfied by deleting content rather than relocating it. `diagnose` and `skill-audit` relocated prose and then read it unconditionally; `prototype` and `vale-config` deleted rules outright that survived nowhere. All four addressed.

## Verification

- `bash tests/run-tests.sh --strict` — 24 suites, 0 skipped, 0 failed
- `bash tests/run-bats.sh` — 325 tests, 0 failures
- `pre-commit run --all-files` — 17/17
- `pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-push --all-files` — 16/16, with `apm marketplace check` and `apm pack --check-clean` run against the remote, not skipped
- `scripts/skill-size-check.sh` over all 39 skills — rc 0, 0 ERROR/FAIL, SUGGESTION-only
- Preload tax measured at **10,498 chars**, max description 390 — both inside budget
- Every new test proven non-vacuous by a deliberate mutation of the behaviour it covers

**Per-commit sync, stated accurately:** the ten commits from the latest review round each pass `check-plugin-content-sync` in isolation, verified by checking each out in a detached worktree with a clean between. The earlier gitea window (`dfacf05..bedbd1d`, nine commits) does **not** — its mirror was regenerated in one batch at `bbc7300`. An earlier revision of this description claimed the property held for every commit; it does not, and a bisect through that window lands on a red commit. **Squash-merge** to collapse it, or accept that this range is not bisectable.

## Version bump

Six plugins and the catalog take a **patch**, not a minor. The branch is **89 commits — 40 `fix` / 30 `refactor` / 12 `docs` / 5 `chore` / 2 `test` — zero `feat`, zero `!`, zero `BREAKING CHANGE`** — and adds no skill, agent, command or hook. (Two earlier revisions of this section cited a stale histogram, most recently 78 commits; the figures above are measured at HEAD.) Both rules this repo ships (`forge/references/version-bump.md`, landing in this PR, and `git-commits/references/conventional-commits-spec.md`) make that a patch, and the catalog set is unchanged at 7 entries.

Not settled by that: four published files were removed from the installed tree, three moved, and `caveman` gained `disable-model-invocation`, retiring its old triggers. Under a strict reading those are major-class and currently ship under `refactor:` with no marker. Whether the deployed skill surface is a public contract is written down nowhere — worth deciding, but it outlives this PR.

## Deliberately not in scope

#112 (cherry-pick ownership, now resolved in favour of `git-commits`), #113 (`rtk git` normalisation), #116 (research fan-out), #101 (audit-skill merge), #122 (non-spec skill-root files), #123 (no PRD producer) stay open. #117 is the one worth reading: the contract's remedy is to move prose into `references/`, which is exactly where neither the size gate nor Vale looks — and the blind spot is wider than #117 currently records, since there is no root `.vale.ini` at all, so every ADR, `CONTEXT.md` and `README.md` is unlinted too.

That blind spot let this branch carry two `level: error` `Kyberforge.SentenceOpenerThereIs` violations into `references/` files it created — `provider-adapter-author/references/provider-matrix.md:31` and `agent-audit/references/finding-criteria.md:95`. Both are reworded in `afadaae`, confirmed by routing each file through the audit's own `vale-wrap.sh` (1 error each before, 0 after). Five further occurrences sit in `references/` files already on `main`; those are the pre-existing corpus and stay with #117, which is the real fix.

Also unfixed and not this PR's: `apm install` appends a duplicate `SessionStart` entry to `.claude/settings.json`, so a fresh clone cannot get pre-push green without an edit AGENTS.md warns against. Reproduces identically on `main`.

## Gotchas
- **`list_issues` has no `type` or `milestones` parameter — despite `api-reference.md` documenting both.** The live MCP schema (re-verified via `ToolSearch` at authoring time — see `references/sources.md`) only accepts `owner`, `repo` (required), `state` (default `"all"`), `labels` (array of label *names*), `since`, `before` (ISO 8601), `page`, `per_page` (default 30). This tool provides no way to filter issues-vs-PRs or by milestone. Since issues and PRs share one number space, `list_issues` results can include PR entries with no client-side filter to exclude them. If you need to know whether a specific number is a PR, call `issue_read method: "get"` and check `is_pull` — that field only appears on the single-item response, never in a list item. This exact drift (a prior skill trusted the research doc's `type` param and broke) is why this skill's reference files were re-verified live rather than copied from `api-reference.md`.
- **`search_issues` does have a working `type` filter** (`"issues"` | `"pulls"`) — unlike `list_issues`. Its `labels` parameter is also shaped differently: a comma-separated string, not an array of names.
- **Labels are numeric IDs on write, name strings on read.** `issue_write`'s `labels` parameter (used by `add_labels`/`replace_labels`) takes IDs. `list_issues`/`issue_read` return names. Never resolve this yourself — compose `gitea-labels-milestones` (see `references/enrichments.md`) to get IDs.
- **Milestone on `issue_read` is `{id, title}`** — an object, not a bare string. This skill only ever needs the `id`. (The bare-title-string case only happens on the PR side, which is `gitea-prs`' problem, not this skill's.)
- **Closing-keyword auto-close behavior is plausible but unconfirmed in our research docs.** Our research docs confirm Gitea does NOT auto-close an issue on a plain PR merge (unlike GitHub) — closing keywords like `Fixes #N`/`Closes #N` in a commit message are not documented one way or the other. After a PR merges (a `gitea-prs` operation), always re-check the issue's state here via `issue_read method: "get"` before deciding whether to close it manually — closing an already-closed issue is a harmless no-op, but don't assume a manual close is always needed.
- **Pagination is manual.** `list_issues` and `search_issues` return one page at a time. Iterate `page: 1, 2, ...` until the returned count is less than `per_page`.
- **HTTP 404 may actually mean 403.** Gitea hides permission errors as not-found. If a call 404s unexpectedly, verify the token holds `write:issue` scope (see `references/issues.md`'s Token scope note) before concluding the issue doesn't exist.
- **`list_issues` mixes in PRs unless you filter.** Issues and PRs share one number space; pass `type: "issues"` to exclude PRs (or `"pulls"`). `is_pull` is returned only by `issue_read method: "get"` — on a list item the only tell is `html_url`'s path segment (`/issues/` vs `/pulls/`).
- **Label IDs and names are not interchangeable.** `issue_write` takes numeric IDs only; `list_issues` and `search_issues` filter by name; `issue_read "get"` returns names but `"get_labels"` returns full objects with IDs. Resolve via `gitea-labels-milestones` unless the caller named exact labels.
- **A merge does not itself close the issue.** Gitea has no close-on-merge event, but a `Fixes #N` in the merged commits can, depending on merge style (`gitea-prs`). Re-read its state after a merge before closing it manually.
- **A 404 may really be a 403.** Gitea hides permission errors as not-found — check the token's `write:issue` scope before concluding the issue does not exist.
## Step 1 — Resolve owner and repo
Before any tool call, extract `owner` and `repo` from the git remote (skip this if an orchestrating caller already passed them in):
An orchestrating caller may pass `owner` and `repo` in already, and the `search` row is cross-repository and needs only a query — both skip this step. Otherwise, before any tool call:
```bash
git remote get-url origin
```
If origin is not set or the URL is not a Gitea URL, stop and report: "No Gitea remote found — set origin to your Gitea instance URL."
If origin is unset or the URL is not a Gitea URL, stop and report: "No Gitea remote found — set origin to your Gitea instance URL."
## Step 2 — Dispatch
| Invocation | Action |
|---|---|
| `/gitea-issues` or `/gitea-issues list` | List issues (optional state filter) |
| `/gitea-issues create` | Create an issue from conversation context — infers labels, checks milestone fit, applies a configured default assignee if set |
| `/gitea-issues <N>` | Get issue details (flag it as a PR if `is_pull: true`) |
| `/gitea-issues <N> comments` | Get an issue's comments |
| `/gitea-issues close <N>` | Close an issue |
| `/gitea-issues comment <N>` | Add a comment from conversation context |
| `/gitea-issues search <query>` | Cross-repo search via `search_issues` |
One invocation takes one row. Read only the reference(s) that row names — the call signatures were verified against the live MCP schema and differ from the published API docs in ways the body does not restate.
For full parameter detail on `list_issues`/`issue_read`/`issue_write`, read `references/issues.md`. For `search_issues`, read `references/search.md`. For the create-flow enrichments (label inference, milestone assignment, assignee workaround, dependency-linking), read `references/enrichments.md`.
| Invocation | Flow | Read |
|---|---|---|
| `/gitea-issues` or `/gitea-issues list` | List issues with `type: "issues"` so PRs are excluded, optionally filtered by state | `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues <N>` | Get one issue, routing to `gitea-prs` when the number turns out to be a PR | `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues <N> comments` | Get an issue's comments | `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues <N> labels` | Get an issue's labels as full objects, IDs included | `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues close <N>` | Close an issue by updating its state | `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues comment <N>` | Add a comment drawn from conversation context, never one invented to fill the gap — a comment on a live issue is not cheap to undo | `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues label <N>` | Apply, replace or remove labels using IDs resolved by `gitea-labels-milestones` | `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues create` | Create an issue — Step 3 first | `references/enrichments.md`, then `references/issues.md` |
| `/gitea-issues search <query>` | Cross-repo search, narrowed by owner, state, type or labels | `references/search.md` |
## Step 3 — Execute
## Step 3 — Create
### list (default)
Only the create flow reaches this step.
Call `list_issues owner: <owner> repo: <repo> state: <"open"|"closed"|"all", default "all">`. Remember: results may include PR entries (see Gotchas) — if the caller needs issues only, this tool cannot filter that server-side; note the limitation rather than silently mislabeling PR entries as issues.
### create
1. Extract `title` and `body` from conversation context (the most recent task, bug description, or explicit statement). Fall back to an empty body if nothing is available.
2. Run the enrichment sequence in `references/enrichments.md`: infer labels (composing `gitea-labels-milestones`), check for a clearly-fitting open milestone (composing the same skill), and check for a configured default assignee.
3. Call `issue_write method: "create" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> title: <title> body: <body> labels: [<resolved IDs, or omit>] milestone: <resolved ID, or omit> assignees: [<default login, or omit>]`.
4. Fire immediately — no confirmation step for the create itself.
### `<N>` (get)
Call `issue_read method: "get" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N>`. If `is_pull: true`, report that this number is actually a PR and suggest `gitea-prs` for full detail.
### `<N> comments`
Call `issue_read method: "get_comments" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N>`.
### close `<N>`
Call `issue_write method: "update" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N> state: "closed"`. No `method: "close"` exists.
### comment `<N>`
Extract the comment body from conversation context (same sourcing as create). Call `issue_write method: "add_comment" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N> body: <body>`.
### search `<query>`
Call `search_issues query: <query>`, adding `owner`, `state`, `type`, or `labels` filters if the request narrows scope (e.g. "search open PRs for X" → `type: "pulls" state: "open"`).
1. Take `title` and `body` from conversation context — the most recent task, bug report, or explicit statement. An empty body is an acceptable fallback, an invented one is not.
2. Run the enrichments in `references/enrichments.md`, then create with the resolved IDs per `references/issues.md`. Omitting a parameter always beats guessing its value — a wrong milestone or assignee is harder to notice than a missing one.
3. Fire immediately, with no confirmation step. A create is cheap to undo by closing, so a gate here only costs a round trip.
## Step 4 — Report
For reads: a compact table or numbered list — number, title, state, labels, milestone.
Reads: a compact table or numbered list — number, title, state, labels, milestone.
For writes: confirm what was created/updated with the issue number and URL if returned.
Writes: what was created or updated, with the issue number and the URL when one is returned.
For errors: surface the HTTP code and message; check token scope per the Gotchas if a 404 looks wrong.
Errors: the HTTP code and message as returned, without paraphrasing either.
