feat(kyberforge): execute plugin-to-apm marketplace conversion

Why:
ADR-0015 established that Microsoft APM (apm.yml + .apm/) should replace
this repo's hand-authored plugin.json/marketplace.json model, with those
files becoming compiled output of `apm pack` instead of files edited by
hand via the (now-retired) plugin-author/marketplace-author skills.
Issue #90 was the deferred execution of that decision, gated on #88
(apm tooling) and #89 (apm-native agent-author/skill-author routing).

Implementation notes:
- All six plugins (bin, core, git, gitea, kyberforge, lint) now carry
  apm.yml + .apm/{skills,agents,hooks} as their authoring source. Skills
  moved with a plain git mv (content-identical across targets). Agents
  were re-authored, not moved: per ADR-0016, .apm/agents/*.agent.md
  compiles verbatim to both Claude and Copilot, so plugin-scope agents
  now carry only name/description/model/source_keys -- no tools: field,
  no Claude-only knobs (isolation, maxTurns, effort, memory,
  permissionMode).
- Root apm.yml registers all 7 marketplace packages (6 local plus
  mattpocock-skills as a remote entry) under versioning: per_package,
  matching this repo's existing independent-plugin-versioning practice.
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and every plugin's plugin.json are now
  apm-pack-compiled output, verified against the prior hand-maintained
  content: same names/descriptions/versions/licenses/authors, only
  cosmetic serialization differences (JSON key order, owner email vs.
  url, Unicode escaping).
- plugin-author and marketplace-author are retired now that apm-based
  authoring fully replaces their job; kyberforge bumped 1.3.1 -> 1.4.0
  for that removal, and the root marketplace catalog bumped
  0.3.1 -> 0.3.2 to match, per the version-bump convention now
  documented in apm-workflow's reference docs instead of a dedicated
  script (apm has no native version-bump automation).
- Fixed hardcoded pre-.apm/ path assumptions across
  .pre-commit-config.yaml, .pre-commit-hooks.yaml,
  scripts/check-scope-walkup-sync.sh, scripts/sync-vale-styles.sh,
  scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh, six plugins' root plugin.json
  (stale skills/hooks/agents pointer fields that check-manifests.sh
  validates), and several tests/*.bats and tests/*.sh fixtures --
  including a bats REPO_ROOT relative-path depth bug (10 files, one
  extra .apm/ directory level to walk up) and a vale probe-path
  isolation regression introduced mid-fix.
- Corrected empirically-wrong assumptions surfaced this session in
  apm-workflow/apm-install's own reference docs: `apm marketplace
  package add` does not accept local paths (only owner/repo remote
  shorthand -- local packages are registered by editing apm.yml's
  marketplace.packages[] directly); `apm compile` is a consumer-side
  AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md generator, not the plugin.json producer, and
  hard-fails on skill/agent-only packages without --clean; `apm plugin
  init <name>` nests a stray subdirectory when run with a positional
  name arg from inside a same-named directory; no native Copilot
  marketplace output profile exists; .mcp.json is merged into the
  compiled plugin.json content-aware and target-scoped, with no
  dependencies.mcp entry needed for simple passthrough; pipx is the
  correct pip fallback on externally-managed Python environments.
- Renamed agent-author's copilot.agent.md template asset to
  copilot.agent.md.template so apm compile's recursive *.agent.md glob
  stops misparsing the placeholder template as a real agent primitive.

Impact:
plugin.json and marketplace.json are compiled artifacts from here on --
editing them by hand is no longer the workflow; edit apm.yml/.apm/ and
run apm pack. CONTEXT.md's Plugin/Plugin marketplace glossary entries
reflect this. ADR-0001 is marked superseded, ADR-0006 moot, and
ADR-0010 updated for the new .apm/agents/ path (project/user scope
unaffected, per ADR-0016). Full local verification: claude plugin
validate --strict on all 6 plugins, apm audit --ci, apm marketplace
check, check-manifests.sh, and the full test suite (165/165 bats,
13/13 shell scripts) all pass clean.

# forge
Guided entry point for building or improving something in kyberforge when the target artifact type isn't decided yet.
## What it does
Grills the user's intent via `bin:grill-with-docs` (inline, interactive) against this repo's `CONTEXT.md` and `docs/adr/`, classifies the target artifact type (skill, agent/subagent definition, plugin, or marketplace entry), announces the classification, then routes to the matching author skill — chaining more than one, in dependency order, if the intent spans multiple artifact types.
Author-skill invocation defaults to a fork subagent (inherits the grilled-intent context) and falls back to inline when forking isn't possible or the routed flow needs live user interaction (clarifying questions, a HITL gate). After a `skill-author` or `agent-author` route finishes — each already closes out with its own inline audit — forge spins up a separate clean-context subagent to independently re-run the matching audit skill (`skill-audit` / `agent-audit`) as a distinct check on the finished artifact, not a duplicate of the inline one. If that clean audit turns up any unresolved finding, forge loops — re-invoke the author skill to resolve it, re-run the clean audit — until the clean audit comes back with nothing unresolved. `apm-workflow` routes (plugin, marketplace entry) get no recheck: they have no audit counterpart, and their real terminal check (`apm audit`) is already part of their own flow.
## Before you start
Have a rough idea of what you want to build or change. forge doesn't require you to already know whether it's a skill, agent, plugin, or marketplace entry — that classification is its job.
## Usage
```
/forge
```
Skip forge and call the target skill directly (`/skill-author`, `/agent-author`, `/apm-workflow`) when you already know the artifact type.

description: >
Use when the user wants to build, add, or improve something
but hasn't yet named which of it (skill, agent, plugin, or marketplace
entry) they need — "I want to add something to kyberforge", "not sure if
this should be a skill or a plugin", "help me figure out what to build",
"I have an idea but don't know where it belongs". Grills the intent first,
classifies the target artifact type, then routes to the matching author
skill. Do not use when the user already names the target artifact type or
skill/agent explicitly (e.g. "run /skill-author on my-skill", "create an
agent for X") — route directly to that author skill instead, bypassing
forge.

## Gotchas
- forge is an optional guided entry point, not a gate — the four existing factory skills (`skill-author`, `skill-audit`, `agent-author`, `agent-audit`) plus `apm-workflow` (for plugin/marketplace-entry artifacts) remain directly invokable and forge does not intercept those calls. `plugin-author` and `marketplace-author` were removed per ADR-0015 once issue #90 landed — `apm-workflow` is their sole successor.
- Claude Code's skill-level `context: fork` frontmatter field and the `/fork` subagent command are opposites despite sharing a name — `context: fork` isolates (fresh context, no parent access), while `/fork` inherits the full conversation. Keep this straight when deciding how to invoke a subagent in Step 3.
## Step 1 — Grill the intent
Call `bin:grill-with-docs` unless a grill session was already performed and is available in the context.
Grilling may surface that the artifact type assumed at the start is wrong, or that the idea splits into more than one artifact.
This step always runs inline, in the current conversation — grilling is interactive and a subagent cannot hold the back-and-forth.
## Step 2 — Classify the artifact type
Match the grilled intent against exactly one row (or more than one, if the intent genuinely spans several):
| Intent | Artifact type | Route to |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------| ---------------------------------|
| A reusable capability or workflow the agent should load inline in the main conversation — triggered automatically by description-matching, not a fresh context, and free to bundle its own `references/`, `scripts/`, or `assets/` | Skill | `kyberforge:skill-author` |
| A recurring task needs its own reusable agent/subagent definition — dedicated system prompt, tools, and description, invokable by name across sessions | Agent / subagent definition | `kyberforge:agent-author` |
| A new distributable unit is needed — no existing plugin is the right home for the skill/agent/hook/MCP server being built, or the bundle needs its own manifest, versioning, and install lifecycle separate from what already exists | Plugin | `kyberforge:apm-workflow` (configure — `apm plugin init`) |
| The plugin itself already exists (or was just created) and only its marketplace-facing metadata needs to change — listing it for the first time, or updating its version/description entry — never the plugin's contents | Marketplace entry | `kyberforge:apm-workflow` (marketplace — `apm marketplace package add`) |
If the intent is genuinely ambiguous between rows even after grilling, ask the user directly rather than guessing.
Note: plugin and marketplace-entry artifacts route through `kyberforge:apm-workflow` per ADR-0015 — the former `plugin-author` and `marketplace-author` skills were removed once issue #90 landed.
This table classifies what to build, not how to run it — a one-off task that merely needs an isolated vs. context-inheriting run (rather than a new, reusable definition) isn't an artifact at all; there's nothing here to route it to.
## Step 3 — Announce, then route
State the classification and which skill(s) will run before invoking anything.
**Invoking the author skill(s).** Default to a fork subagent — it inherits the full grilled-intent conversation, so the author skill doesn't need to be re-briefed. Fall back to an inline invocation (same conversation, no subagent) when either is true:
- **Fork is technically unavailable** — already running inside a fork (a fork cannot spawn another fork), a nesting-depth cap is reached, or the environment doesn't support forking.
- **The routed flow needs live user interaction mid-run** that a backgrounded fork can't surface in real time — clarifying questions, confirmation checkpoints, or a HITL gate (e.g. `apm-workflow`'s publish/release steps, or its conversational confirmation before removing a marketplace entry). Judge this from context: if nothing about the routed flow signals a live checkpoint, prefer the fork subagent.
`apm-workflow` routes for plugin/marketplace-entry artifacts always run inline — their flows are short, prompt-heavy, or gated, and get no follow-up audit-recheck step to justify running detached (see below).
**After a skill or agent route finishes.** `skill-author` and `agent-author` already close out with their own inline audit (`skill-author` runs `/skill-audit`, `agent-author` invokes `kyberforge:agent-audit` directly) in the same context as the authoring work — that's unchanged. Once that author skill's run has finished, spin up a separate **clean-context subagent** (fresh, not forked, no inherited context) to independently re-run the same audit skill against the finished artifact. This is a distinct verification layer, not a duplicate: the inline audit shares context with the work it's checking and can share its blind spots, while the clean rerun has no stake in the result.
If the clean audit surfaces any unresolved finding — not only a disagreement with the inline pass, any actionable finding on its own — loop: re-invoke the author skill (same fork-vs-inline judgment as the initial invocation) to resolve it, then re-run the clean audit again. Repeat until the clean audit comes back with nothing unresolved. Only then is the route done — the same resolve-before-close discipline `skill-author`/`agent-author` already apply to their own inline audit.
When the intent spans multiple artifact types (e.g. a new skill inside a new plugin, then registering that plugin via `kyberforge:apm-workflow` marketplace), chain the routes in dependency order — an artifact that must exist on disk before another skill can target it goes first (e.g. `apm-workflow` scaffolds the plugin directory via `apm plugin init` before `skill-author` scaffolds a skill inside it).
## Step 4 — Bump plugin version (if applicable)
After the routed skill finishes, check if the artifact was created or updated inside a package by walking up from the artifact's path to the nearest ancestor `apm.yml` that declares a top-level `type:` field (`instructions`/`skill`/`hybrid`/`prompts`). An `apm.yml` with no `type:` field is a marketplace-only manifest (see `plugins/kyberforge/docs/research/docs/microsoft-apm/monorepo-and-repo-shapes.md`) — it does not count as a match; skip it and keep walking up.
**Skip this step if:**
- No ancestor `apm.yml` with a `type:` field is found (the artifact is standalone or scoped to user agent directories)
- The author skill already bumped the package version (check the skill's audit output or completion message for version bump evidence)
**If a typed `apm.yml` is found and no version bump was done:**
Invoke `kyberforge:apm-workflow` as a **clean-context subagent** (fresh, not forked) with this brief:
> "The package at `<package-path>` gained a new `<artifact-type>` (`<artifact-name>`). Bump the `version` field in that package's `apm.yml`. Determine whether to bump minor (0.1.0) or patch (0.0.1) based on whether this is a new capability (minor) or a fix/refactor (patch). Do not release or tag — just update `apm.yml` and commit."
Use a clean-context subagent (not forked) so the version bump decision is made independently without anchoring to the earlier authoring context. This gives apm-workflow a clear, isolated directive.
Report completion to the user: "Updated `<package-name>` version from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z to reflect the new `<artifact-name>`."
