061bb3d5b4 docs: correct the apm-only change after a five-agent review
A five-agent review of 718c79a and d2480b8 found no skill, agent or hook
regressions (39 skills before and after) and confirmed both hook removals
are genuinely moot -- verified against the tree, not taken on the commit's
word. It did find one functional regression (fixed separately) and this
documentation drift.

Counting errors, all from a git pathspec `*` crossing `/`:
  - 17 .bats files shipped to consumers is really 10; 17 counted tracked
    paths merely containing /tests/, one of them a template asset
  - "roughly 88s off every push" is ~92.4s; 88 omitted validate-plugins
  - "roughly 70% of each plugin remains live" holds only for kyberforge;
    the real spread is 44.3% (bin) to 70.6%, now a table
  - the pre-push enforcement row was half-corrected: 33 entries stood
    unstruck (now 27) and 14 -> 11 switched counting basis mid-sentence
  - the root .claude-plugin/plugin.json was described as "kept"; it has
    never been tracked

gates.md said "Ten hooks" above a nine-row table (11 was decremented for
one removal, not two), and "both need the claude CLI" for one remaining
validator. Its pretty-format-json exclude rationale claimed six
alternations expanding to sixteen files in a passage headed "Mind which
number you are quoting" -- four alternations, two live files; the two
dead ones are dropped from the pattern. check-useless-excludes could not
catch this: it only flags an exclude matching nothing at all.

ADR-0024 cited ADR-0006 for a patch-bump rule it does not contain and
which ADR-0015 explicitly retired; stated apm's marketplace probe order
backwards (.claude-plugin/ is the last candidate, not the first, so the
earlier .github/plugin/ deletion only demoted resolution); undercounted
apm's skill-deploying targets as seven when there are fifteen; and never
recorded that validate-plugins was removed. The symlink hedge is resolved:
apm_cli/security/gate.py's ignore_non_content() drops symlinks silently on
deploy while apm_modules/ materialization dereferences them, so content
survives that far and vanishes at install. Accepted with no replacement
guard, per decision -- kyberforge/docs/hooks.md previously asserted a
guard that had been deleted with its script.

Four plugin READMEs still advertised `claude plugin install`; ADRs 0001,
0006, 0013, 0014, 0015 and 0019 described deleted machinery in the present
tense, 0019 most consequentially as the live justification for the
SessionStart hook's .apm/ path. CONTEXT.md's "apm package" entry forbade
"plugin" while using it in its own body, and "Output profile" lost the
antecedent for "one catalogue serves both".

run-tests.sh gains the .claude/skills/ exclusion run-bats.sh already had.
Latent today -- no test-*.sh lives under any .apm/skills/*/tests/ -- but
apm now deploys those directories, so one would be discovered twice.

ae178a95a2 fix(kyberforge): detect a single stale package at SessionStart
apm prints "1 outdated dependency found" in the singular when exactly one
package is behind (apm_cli/commands/outdated.py). check-apm-current.sh
matched only "outdated dependencies found", so one stale package was
invisible: the hook exited 0 silently and no refresh ran. With six
packages merging independently, one-behind is the ordinary case, so the
freshness mechanism failed most often in the situation it exists for.

Three further defects in the same hook:

- The host timeout was below the script's own budget. hooks.json declared
  320s while the script allows `timeout 60` plus `timeout 300` = 360s, so
  a slow remote let the host kill the hook mid-update and leave
  .claude/skills/ half-deployed with nothing emitted. Now 380. A test
  asserts the invariant rather than the literal: it sums every `timeout N`
  parsed out of the script and requires hooks.json to exceed it, so
  changing either side alone fails.

- The lockfile guard was cwd-relative, so a session opened in a
  subdirectory no-opped silently and ran both apm calls against the wrong
  directory. Now anchored on CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR, falling back to the cwd
  so the hook stays inert under a host that does not set it.

- Every assertion mocked apm, so the suite was green over code that could
  not detect its own most common trigger. That blind spot is what hid the
  singular/plural bug, and it is the same shape as the deleted post-push
  tests. The suite now stages a genuinely outdated dependency against a
  local git remote — offline, via url.<path>.insteadOf, so the
  pass-under-unshare property survives — runs the real `apm outdated`, and
  replays its output through the real hook. Reverting the grep to
  plural-only fails it.

23 -> 35 assertions. Each fix mutation-tested individually. kyberforge
stays at 1.5.0: it is untagged, so this changes what 1.5.0 ships rather
than superseding it, and executables.allow needs no edit.

dee56c506a feat(kyberforge): refresh the apm install at SessionStart, not at push
Why
---
ADR-0018 left deployed skills tracking the remote default branch with nothing
watching for drift. The mechanism that was supposed to cover this,
scripts/git-hooks/post-push, could never have worked: git has no client-side
post-push hook. install.sh copied it into .git/hooks/ so it looked installed,
and it had never once fired. Issue #78 reported it as skipping the gitea
plugin; it was skipping everything.

Refreshing on push was also the wrong shape. Your install goes stale when
someone else merges, so a push of your own is neither necessary nor sufficient
for staleness to have occurred.

Implementation notes
--------------------
kyberforge ships a SessionStart hook (startup matcher only) that runs
`apm outdated`, and when anything is behind runs `apm update --yes` and returns
reloadSkills:true so the running session picks up redeployed content. It exits
silently with no apm.lock.yaml present, which keeps it inert for hosts that
installed this plugin natively rather than through apm.

Two findings drove the wiring, both verified rather than assumed:

- apm resolves ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} against the installed package root, and
  `apm pack` keeps only *.json from .apm/hooks/. A .../hooks/<script> reference
  therefore points into the generated mirror where the script does not exist —
  apm reports "Hook script not found" and deploys a hook aimed at nothing. The
  reference must be .apm/-relative, and a test pins it.
- apm's executable-trust gate is OFF unless apm.yml carries an `executables:`
  block; until now every hook, bin and MCP primitive a dependency shipped would
  have deployed unprompted. Root apm.yml now enables it. The allow key is
  version-pinned by apm's design, so a kyberforge version bump silently blocks
  the hook until the key is bumped too — called out in the block and the ADR.

Also corrects ADR-0018 and AGENTS.md, which named `apm install` as the refresh
command. It is not: `apm install` deploys from apm.lock.yaml's pinned commit
and does not re-resolve refs. `apm update` does.

Impact
------
Session startup costs ~0.7s when current and ~10.4s when six packages are
behind. Auto-refresh rewrites apm.lock.yaml, so an unexplained modification to
it after opening a session is expected; the emitted notice says so.

.claude/settings.json stops being exactly {"hooks": {}} once the hook lands
there — the merged entry is apm's own output, and the rule that nothing
repo-authored goes in that file is unchanged. .claude/hooks/ and the
.claude/apm-hooks.json sidecar are gitignored install output.

The hook cannot install itself: dependencies resolve from the remote, so it
takes effect only after this merges and `apm update` runs once against the new
default branch.

scripts/git-hooks/ is now empty. install.sh's copy block is kept and
test-git-hooks-install.sh synthesizes its own fixture, so the mechanism stays
tested without requiring a dead hook to exist.

cf625229f7 fix(scripts): detect the .apm/ content the mirror loses silently
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.

f4bb1cf4e5 docs: finish reconciling the agent write fence across the toolchain
The previous round taught agent-audit's validator to permit disallowedTools but
left the skill that writes agents still forbidding it, in six places. Running
agent-author on any of the three fenced orchestrators would have stripped the
fence, and nothing would have caught it: the validator's allowlist is a permit
list, so an absent field passes. The template was the worst of them, since its
comment is copied verbatim into every new plugin-scope agent.

Where a list had to be restated it is now a pointer to field-inventory.md's
apm-agent-allowlist instead -- the same data validate.sh reads -- because a
roster copied into a template goes stale one step further out than the roster
itself. Where the text has to teach something it teaches the shape rule rather
than the exception: tools is an allowlist whose vocabulary differs per harness,
so verbatim copy makes one value wrong on one target; disallowedTools is a
denylist, where an unrecognised name denies nothing, so the worst case is a
missing fence rather than a wrongly granted capability.

ADR-0016's amendment claimed an unrecognised key is inert on Copilot while the
same ADR's Context says that behaviour is unconfirmed by research -- asserting
as settled the exact thing it flags as unknown, and justifying it with apm's
compile-time behaviour, which says nothing about Copilot's runtime. It is
rewritten into labelled tiers: confirmed for Claude Code with citations,
inferred by analogy for Copilot with the analogy's limits stated, unverified
where it is unverified, and the residual risk accepted explicitly with its
blast radius. It also no longer claims to restore a write sandbox: the denylist
does not deny Bash, which these agents inherit and legitimately need.

docs/hooks.md called the old root hooks.json a stale sync artifact -- it was
added in the plugin's creating commit and pointed at by main's Copilot manifest
-- and claimed both ecosystems now resolve hooks/hooks.json. Copilot does not:
its hooks field has no default and no compiled manifest declares one, so it
resolves nothing. Recorded as the gap it is, with re-injection noted as a
follow-up rather than asserted away. Its event list is marked partial.

Also: new-agent.bats asserted a hardcoded four-field allowlist and would have
rejected a scaffolded agent carrying the field the ADR now blesses; it reads
field-inventory.md too. And ADR-0016's premise that Claude's tools: is
space-separated was wrong -- it takes a comma-separated string or a YAML list.
The incompatibility with Copilot is the vocabulary, not the punctuation.

430f46b8e8 docs: correct the claims this review found false
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.
