ADR-0014 gains a dated correction: skill-size-check now sources the
boundary resolver from kyberforge (ef27c97), so restoring the external
hook contract needs it made self-contained first. ADR-0017's status
reflects its supersession, architecture.md and gates.md carry the
current duplication counts and reason, gates.md defines vacuous green
inline, and the gitleaks lesson is marked historical.

apm becomes the only supported install path. The flat mirror at each plugin
root existed solely so Claude Code's native `claude plugin install` could
convention-scan plugin content (ADR-0017). With no native consumers, it cost
~20,000 tracked lines plus ~2,100 lines of sync tooling and ~88s of every
push to guard content apm never reads — and its only automated gate,
`claude plugin validate --strict`, passes on a plugin with zero content, so
it could not detect the defect ADR-0017 was created to fix.
Removes the mirror (213 files), the six per-plugin manifest pairs,
sync-plugin-content.sh, its 1,289-line test, the orphaned
marketplace-plugins.sh, and the check-plugin-content-sync and
validate-plugins pre-push hooks. The root `marketplace:` block and
.claude-plugin/ catalogue stay: apm's own marketplace consumers read that
same file, so `<name>@holocron` short names keep working.
tests/run-bats.sh now excludes .claude/skills/. apm installs from .apm/,
which carries the tests/ dirs the mirror stripped, so deployed .bats files
would otherwise be discovered and double-run.

Why: CONTEXT.md is an instructed every-session read at 33,799 bytes (~8,450
tokens), and CONTEXT.md:17 layered docs/VISION.md on top. After the AGENTS.md
trim, that left ~9,650 tokens of instructed reads sitting behind a file whose
own format contract — grill-with-docs/CONTEXT-FORMAT.md:43, "Keep definitions
tight. One sentence max." — it was not following. 22 glossary entries averaged
190 words; the top four were 55% of the file, and one ("Vale audit prefilter")
was 1,444 words of pre-commit forensics filed as a definition.
Implementation notes:
- CONTEXT.md rewritten to CONTEXT-FORMAT.md's prescribed template: ## Language
(five clusters, 22 terms with _Avoid_ aliases), ## Relationships,
## Example dialogue, ## Flagged ambiguities. 33,799 -> 9,762 bytes.
- Vale prefilter forensics moved to docs/spec/gates.md under nine subsections:
the two-copy style layout, vale-wrap.sh and the Vale 3.15.2
text.frontmatter.description limitation, the --config argv defect (E100),
glob scoping, the rule inventory, and 0-files-means-NOT-RUN.
- Instruction-file format and the bidirectional-reference principle moved to
docs/spec/architecture.md, the latter flagged as aspirational: no instruction
file carries a `when:` field, only 2 of 39 skills do, and the reference
scanner script it names does not exist.
- Added a per-plugin scope table to architecture.md so "which plugin owns this
skill" survives the trim, and corrected its claim that the content index
lives in providers/claude-code/CLAUDE.md — that file is now two import lines
and the index sits in core/AGENTS.md.
- "Repo and Gitea are the only source of truth" moved from CONTEXT.md's
Principles into AGENTS.md session rules; it was operative guidance in a
glossary. docs/VISION.md and LESSONS.md added to the on-demand list.
- The apm-consumed install entry (432 words) was deleted outright: all four
consequences are already carried by README.md, ADR-0018, gates.md and
AGENTS.md.
- ADR-0013, ADR-0015 and ADR-0017 each pointed at CONTEXT.md sections that
moved; amended with dated supersession notes rather than left dangling.
Impact: the every-session set drops from ~15,700 to ~4,140 tokens across both
passes (-74%). The deleted "lint plugin" entry was also stale on a safety
claim — it said lint-runner inherits Edit, but ADR-0016 restored
`disallowedTools: Edit, Write, NotebookEdit` and CONTEXT.md was never updated.

apm's bundle exporter drops symlinks entirely, so a symlink under .apm/ never
reaches the mirror -- and no gate could see it, because every existing check
diffs the live mirror against a bundle-derived copy and both sides lack the
file. It is an absence with nothing left to mismatch against, the only class of
.apm/ content that vanishes without a trace. check_apm_symlinks reads the .apm/
source tree, where the loss is visible, and fails both modes. Reported rather
than resolved: dereferencing would make a real sync emit content the bundle does
not contain, which is the reimplementation ADR-0017 rejects.
--check --all could also pass having verified fewer plugins than the marketplace
lists: a plugin whose .apm/ had gone was SKIPped rather than counted, and the
earlier floor only caught zero. The count is now checked against the marketplace's
own local-package list. There is no exempt state -- ADR-0015 makes .apm/ the sole
authoring source for every local plugin, so a listed plugin without one is drift.
On the Copilot hooks gap, the decision is to document, not implement. Copilot
declares no hooks path and apm emits none, which looks like the mcpServers case
-- but that exception holds because .mcp.json is one host-agnostic format both
ecosystems read, so a pointer to it is true whatever it contains. Hooks have no
shared format: Claude expects nested matcher groups under PascalCase events,
Copilot requires version: 1, camelCase, and a bash/powershell split. apm merges
.apm/hooks/*.json into exactly one file, at Claude's convention path. A pointer
would assert a Claude-shaped file is Copilot-shaped -- an incomplete manifest
traded for a wrong one -- and it is not inert today either, since {"hooks": {}}
lacks Copilot's mandatory version key. A test pins the decision, so restoring the
pointer fails until someone confronts the schema mismatch.
Tests: 77 -> 92 assertions.

AGENTS.md told an offline agent to push with SKIP=apm-marketplace-check and
asserted that hook was "the only one whose failure mode is 'no network'".
Running all 12 pre-push hooks under a network namespace shows two fail, for
one shared cause: apm-pack-check-clean resolves the same remote entry. An
exact pin does not remove the ls-remote, so both hooks are named now.
AGENTS.md also said everything in a plugin root except .apm/ is generated.
Plugin roots carry hand-authored README.md, docs/, bin/, sources.md and
.mcp.json, so an agent would hunt for an .apm/ source that does not exist or
refuse the edit. The rule is positional: immunity belongs to the plugin root,
and anything inside a mirrored directory is still rm -rf'd.
ADR-0017 said apm strips a hooks field. The real loop is (agents, skills,
commands, instructions) -- hooks absent, instructions never mentioned -- and
it can never fire, because synthesize_plugin_json_from_apm_yml only emits the
eight identity fields. The decision stands; the mechanism was overstated. Its
mcpServers amendment is rewritten for the pointer payload and now records the
real reason: inlining bypassed apm's credential sanitizer.
ADR-0015's owner.email and version-pin passages are corrected against the apm
source, and ADR-0016 gains the disallowedTools amendment. agent-audit's
allowlist is data, so it gains disallowedTools too -- the ADR and the
validator that enforces it had come apart.
architecture.md described a root CLAUDE.md that imports two files (it imports
one, plus an RTK block) and pointed at an ADR index that does not exist.
Seven skill READMEs listed tests/ files the mirror strips, promising installed
users files their install lacks; those rows are marked source-only, with the
depth-4 template tests explicitly called out as surviving. And
plugins/kyberforge/hooks/README.md, deleted during the conversion and
preserved nowhere, is restored to a path the mirror does not own -- verified
by running a sync against a scratch copy.

The mirror's `tests/` exclusion was depth-agnostic, so it deleted
`skill-author/assets/templates/tests/` — a template the skill scaffolds FROM —
alongside the depth-2 dev fixtures it was meant to drop. Since ADR-0017 makes the
mirror the installed content, the shipped scaffolder was broken: the mirror copy of
`new-skill.sh` exited 2 on `sed: can't read .../tests/README.md`, leaving a
half-written skill, while the byte-identical `.apm/` copy exited 0. `--check` was
green about it.
Check mode was restructured rather than patched because `diff -x` matches a basename
at any depth and cannot express the depth-2 scoping the fix needs — the two modes
could not be made to agree by construction. Check mode now runs the real `sync_dir`
into a throwaway root and diffs with no exclusions, leaving the exclusion rule and
the hooks destination each in exactly one place.
Also fixed here, all previously invisible to `--check`:
- Merged hooks were written to `<plugin>/hooks.json`, which Claude Code does not
convention-scan, while ADR-0017 itself quoted `hooks/hooks.json` as the contract.
Moved, with the legacy path cleaned up as stale. No `hooks` pointer is added to
`plugin.json`, so this does not reopen the option ADR-0017 rejected.
- Only the first drift per plugin was reported: `diff | sed` returns 1 under
`pipefail`, and `set -e` killed the subshell before the remaining checks and
before `FAIL=1`.
- File-mode and symlink drift were invisible, so `--check` and a real sync
disagreed; a find-based type/mode manifest now covers both.
The tests pinned almost none of this — the stale-skill wipe, the check-mode stale
branch, three `MIRROR_DIRS` entries and the hooks newline normalization could each
be deleted with the suite still green. All are now mutation-tested.

Running ADR-0017's cited live behavioral test literally from this
repo's root gives a contaminated signal: this repo's own project-level
.claude/settings.json enables all 6 holocron plugins, so Claude Code
loads all of them rather than isolating kyberforge's discoverability.
Documents the neutral-cwd + absolute --plugin-dir reproduction needed
to isolate the signal.
PR #95's review of the issue #90 apm-conversion work found several
defects in scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh and the gate wired to it:
- --check claimed never to mutate the plugin root, but apm pack still
wrote .claude-plugin/plugin.json and .github/plugin/plugin.json into
the real plugin_dir on first-time creation. --check now packs a
throwaway copy instead.
- check-plugin-content-sync hardcoded the six plugin directories
instead of deriving them the way check-manifests.sh already does.
Added an --all flag that parses .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, and
simplified the pre-commit hook to use it.
- A missing plugin_dir and one that legitimately has no .apm/ yet both
reported SKIP/success; a missing directory now FAILs.
- The dispatch loop backgrounded every plugin with no concurrency cap,
unlike the JOBS-bounded pattern this same PR added to
tests/run-bats.sh and tests/run-tests.sh. Added the same
bash-3.2-safe getconf + batched-wait cap here for consistency.
- Per-plugin scratch/log/status files were keyed only by basename, with
no collision guard across arguments; added a fail-fast check.
- sync_hooks_json()'s trailing-newline normalization was duplicated
between its --check and write branches; factored into one helper.
- tests/test-sync-plugin-content.sh set two competing `trap ... EXIT`
statements, so the first (cleaning up $FIXTURE) was silently
replaced by the second and its tmp dir leaked every run. Adopted the
track()/CLEANUP_DIRS pattern already used in
tests/test-check-release-needed.sh.
Separately: apm's Copilot-ecosystem plugin.json builder unconditionally
strips mcpServers, citing (in its own docstring) that the field is out
of schema for Copilot -- a claim this repo's own researched Copilot
plugin schema docs contradict. reinject_mcp_servers() narrowly restores
it from the plugin's .mcp.json on real syncs only, regenerating
plugins/bin/.github/plugin/plugin.json (the only plugin that currently
declares any MCP servers). Documented as an amendment to ADR-0017,
since it's a deliberate, narrow exception to that ADR's rejection of
patching apm's compiled output -- apm's premise for stripping
skills/agents/commands/hooks pointers is still accurate; its premise
for stripping mcpServers is not.
All 12 assertions in tests/test-sync-plugin-content.sh pass
individually, plus 5 new regression tests added for this round; the
full bats and shell-script suites are green; shellcheck is clean.

ADR: 0017
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.
