82b7bbcf5c docs: close the PR #135 documentation review findings
Group 3 of the validated PR #135 review fixes. Every figure and commit
citation below was re-verified at HEAD before being written.

ADR and architecture:
- #7 ADR-0025 cited 61b0b9c, which no published branch reaches. Repointed
  to 620f20b (identical parent tree, reachable from the PR branch), with a
  note that neither is reachable from origin/main. The parser-drift
  paragraph now credits 598a7c3 (the reachable PR #129 squash) and keeps
  484357a only as a pre-squash parenthetical.
- #8 architecture.md dropped the pointer at the LESSONS.md entry this
  branch deleted.
- #9 architecture.md's ADR entry points now name ADR-0015 (the one
  compiler) and ADR-0024, and list ADR-0024 as superseding ADR-0017.
- #10 ADR-0024 section 4 rewritten: the standing patch-bump rule is
  apm-workflow's configure.md, not ADR-0006's, and this change does not
  trigger it. ADR-0015:93 carries a correction for the misattribution.
- N5 ADR-0021 gained a Correction note for the deleted
  scripts/check-manifests.sh (e647f14).

gates.md:
- #11a the four ADR-0020 constants live in lib-checks-skill.sh:313-316 and
  lib-checks-agent.sh:164-165, not in validate.sh.
- #11b the pretty-format-json exclude is two alternations expanding to
  three tracked files, including .claude/apm-hooks.json.
- #11c the ADR-0020 contract suite runs 28 -> 27 -> 29 (620f20b,
  4de5b6b, ef27c97), 29 at HEAD; the unverifiable 25 is dropped.
- #11d the boundary resolver is one copy since ef27c97.
- #12 apm-audit-ci documents the 10 root checks and the 1 plugin check
  apm 0.28.0 actually runs, that content-integrity IS the hidden-Unicode
  scan, that manifest-parse is not a named check, and that the hook needs
  a completed apm install. The offline claim is qualified accordingly.
- N9 gates.md:142-146 verified to still match the hook description.

AGENTS.md:
- #12 the no-network session rule is qualified to a populated
  apm_modules/.

Audit note:
- A1 hook counts corrected to 27/9 -> 26/8 -> 27/9 -> 26/8 (26 and 8 at
  HEAD) and the dangling pointer dropped.
- A2 skill-size-check.sh is 509 lines with the resolver sourced, not 1,522
  embedded; citations repointed to skill-size-check.sh:323-335 and
  lib-checks-skill.sh:235-283 (fail() at :265 and :280), and that library
  is 627 lines.
- A3 consumers receive 15 test files across 5 skills; 16 tracked test
  paths repo-wide.
- A4 the "do not run apm update on this branch" instruction is marked
  superseded, with the branch-aware guidance in its place.
- Finding 31's "true orphans" claim corrected for HOTL and Sycophancy,
  both still used in core/ai-constitution.md.

Same class, found during group 2:
- skill-author's deployment-modes.md no longer points at .mcp.json
  configs (deleted in c96ca9c); metadata.version 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3.
- git-orchestrate's context contract clarifies that
  user_config_overrides is caller-supplied session state, not a config
  read. The field name is unchanged.
- B3 root apm.yml's executables.allow comment: grants are version-blind
  in apm 0.28.0, so the #2.0.0 suffix is cosmetic to apm and a bump does
  not break the hook; the suffix stays because
  check-executables-allow-sync.sh requires it.

ea119d83b0 fix(gates): close six PR #135 review findings in gates and their tests
B1: check-skill-version-bump.sh resolves every merge-base with `git merge-base
--all` instead of the single base git happens to pick. A criss-cross history has
two, so the verdict turned on that choice: a skill byte-identical to main's tip
could still be reported "not above merge-base" / "not above main tip" and fail a
push that should pass. A skill now counts as changed only when it differs from
EVERY base, and its version must exceed the version at every base it exists at
as well as at the main tip; with more than one base the failure names which one.
Case 40 in tests/test-skill-version-bump.sh builds the criss-cross fixture and
pins both directions.

B2: check-apm-current.sh no longer assumes the remote default branch is `main`
when origin/HEAD is unset. A checkout whose default is `master` was standing on
its default branch and being told "this is a feature branch, so discard it" --
to throw away a real lock update. With origin/HEAD unset nothing is asserted and
the neutral advice stands. tests/test-apm-current-hook.sh covers the unset case
on both `main` and `master`.

#4: the required-frontmatter checks folded into skill-size-check.sh by c8a7c9e
were untested apart from the leading-zero shape -- mutating the missing-version
ERROR into a no-op left every suite green. tests/test-adr0020-frontmatter.sh now
pins name presence and non-emptiness, metadata.version presence and semver
shape, and the four grep defects the deleted test-skill-frontmatter.sh named.

#5: nothing asked whether a Vale rule still MATCHES anything -- rewriting
CompositionNote.yml's tokens to match nothing left test-vale-wrap.sh at 63/63.
Case 35 enumerates the rule files under the Kyberforge* style directories at run
time, requires an alert from each on its own fixture, and fails when a
discovered rule has no fixture row. The stale comment at case 31 is corrected.

#6: tests/run-tests.sh --strict exited 0 when discovery found no test-*.sh at
all; strictness only ever acted on skips, and with no suites there were none. It
now cross-checks the git index the way run-bats.sh does and fails
unconditionally on an empty set, naming the search root.

N9: the skill-size-check hook description in .pre-commit-config.yaml covered
only the size, context-budget and boundary-target gates. It now also names the
required frontmatter fields, matching docs/spec/gates.md.

ef27c9751a refactor(gates): source the boundary resolver into skill-size-check
Why: scripts/skill-size-check.sh embedded a byte-identical 1,061-line copy
of the ADR-0020 boundary resolver only because it was also exported
through .pre-commit-hooks.yaml, whose consumers could not reach a file
inside the plugin. 4de5b6b retired that export, so the hook now runs only
in this repo and can source factory-audit's lib-boundary-resolver.sh like
validate.sh does. One copy removes the edit-one-paste-the-other hazard.

Implementation Notes:
- The hook's Python program is assembled from its own preamble, the
  library's resolver and its own checks, read from quoted here-docs. The
  assembled program matches the old one line for line except one comment,
  and the hook's stdout, stderr and exit code are identical over every
  corpus SKILL.md and the 26 differential-suite fixtures.
- The hook fails closed, naming the library, when it is missing or
  defines no resolver.
- test-adr0020-contract.sh assertion 1 now pins the single copy: one
  marker pair in the library, none in the hook, fail-closed on a missing
  or gutted library, and a sentinel planted in a copied library that must
  appear in the hook's output. 1a expects exactly one authority. 27 -> 29
  passes.
- ADR-0020 and ADR-0025 carry dated amendments; gates.md and the
  library, hook and mode-library comments no longer describe two copies.
- factory-audit is new on this branch, so the version-bump gate exempts
  it; kyberforge is already at 2.0.0 against main's 1.6.2.

4de5b6b355 chore(gates): retire the external pre-commit hook contract
Why: .pre-commit-hooks.yaml and its release-tag gate served external
consumers that do not exist. No repo on the Gitea instance pins these
hooks, and the README names apm as the only supported install path. The
mechanism was also already failing: skill-size-check.sh changed after
v2.0.1 with no tag cut, and the gate cannot fire through Gitea's merge
button. (Simplification audit finding 36.)

Implementation Notes:
- Delete .pre-commit-hooks.yaml, scripts/check-release-needed.sh,
  tests/test-check-release-needed.sh and tests/test-vale-hooks-consumer.sh,
  and remove the check-release-needed pre-push hook. The repo: local
  skill-size-check and vale-audit-prefilter-* hooks are unchanged.
- ADR-0014 is amended, not retired: its runtime decision to bundle Vale
  inside factory-audit stands. The amendment keeps the entry[0]-only
  constraint (LESSONS.md:101,105) in case the export returns. ADR-0025
  gets a pointer.
- test-vale-wrap.sh: drop case 33 (the cross-manifest drift check) and
  case 28's hook-scope half, which read the published manifest. Case 32
  now also requires each hook to select every tracked file of its class,
  which keeps case 33's one-plugin-narrowing guard, with a mutation test.
- test-skill-size-check.sh and test-adr0020-contract.sh now assert the
  hook contract and verbose: true on .pre-commit-config.yaml only.
- gates.md: pre-push count goes from 9 to 8 authored hooks (11 to 10
  reported), and the Release table, the External consumers section and
  the two-manifest scope table are removed. README and script/test
  comments no longer describe the export as live. The resolver comment
  is edited identically in both copies.
- The v1.0.0/v2.0.0/v2.0.1 tags are left in place; they are inert.

807caf22ee fix(kyberforge): give branch-aware advice for the refreshed apm lock
Why: the docs said to discard a refreshed apm.lock.yaml on a feature
branch because the refresh records main's commit, but the branch's own
lock records a (older) main commit too, and the SessionStart notice gave
the same "commit or discard" advice on every branch.

Implementation Notes:
- check-apm-current.sh picks fixed advice by branch: commit or discard
  deliberately on the default branch (origin/HEAD, else main), discard and
  reinstall on a feature branch; the branch name is never interpolated.
- README, AGENTS.md and ADR-0019 give the real reasons (no lock churn in
  the branch diff, deployed tree matches the committed lock), the cost
  (the session runs the older main) and that the next session start
  refreshes again.
- ADR-0019's check-clean and stale-server claims restated to match apm's
  source.

398515bcad chore: drop the duplicated package descriptions from root apm.yml
Why: for a local-path marketplace entry, apm treats a root description: as
an override of the package's own apm.yml, reported only at verbose level,
so the "two copies stay identical" rule had no enforcement. Same fix as
2def060 made for version:.

Implementation Notes:
- All six root copies matched their package apm.yml before removal; the
  compiled marketplace.json descriptions are unchanged.
- apm-workflow references now scope the "omit it" advice to local-path
  entries: on a remote entry, version: is the semver range that selects
  the tag, and version: or ref: is required.

Impact: ADR-0021 amended; the package apm.yml is the single source.

1d40544075 fix(gates): hold skill versions above main's tip as well as the merge-base
Why: two branches that both bump a skill 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 with different
content merge without a conflict, and each passed the gate against its own
merge-base, so main could ship two changes under one version.

Implementation Notes:
- check-skill-version-bump requires the pushed version to exceed both the
  merge-base and the main tip; failures name the baseline they missed.
- Presence is read from the tree, so a blob missing from a partial clone is
  a read failure instead of a silently exempt "new" skill.
- A leading UTF-8 BOM no longer reads as a missing version.
- Version parts reject leading zeros in all three validators
  (check-skill-version-bump, skill-size-check, factory-audit).
- New tests cover equal bumps, moved files, major/minor ordering, bad refs,
  unreadable blobs, mode-only changes, symlinks and tag peeling.

Impact: ADR-0022 amended (reverses "not main's current tip"); gates.md
updated to match, including pre-commit 4.6.1's exact ref selection.

The root apm.yml packages[] entries no longer carry version:, and a

apm.yml as the single source and drop version: from the examples.

8451169d2b feat(gates): enforce metadata.version bumps on changed skills at pre-push
check-skill-version-bump fails a push when a skill directory changed
against its merge-base with main (tests/ excluded) without a strictly
higher metadata.version than main. New, renamed and deleted skills are
exempt; every plugin is covered. Recorded as a dated section in
ADR-0022 and documented in gates.md.

Patch-bumps the 17 skills that changed on this branch without a bump,
so the branch passes its own gate. Simplification audit finding 33.

ffcbed6c41 fix(tests): replace pipefail-racy echo | grep -q with here-strings
Why

Two suites failed intermittently — tests/test-vale-wrap.sh case 21 and
tests/test-check-release-needed.sh cases 4 and 15 — on correct output, and never
when run alone. The cause is the `echo "$OUT" | grep -q P` idiom under
`set -o pipefail`: grep -q exits as soon as it has an answer, bash's echo can
hand a multi-line value to the pipe one line at a time, and a write after the
reader is gone kills echo with SIGPIPE. pipefail then reports the writer's
death, so output that DID match reads as "no match". Every observed failure had
lines after its match; case 15's match is on line 1 of 6, the widest window in
that file.

Forced with a pause before the writer's last line, the pipe form failed 50 of 50
runs; a here-string, a match on the last line, and the same pipe without
pipefail each passed 50 of 50. Unforced the rate is about 1 per 670 suite runs,
which is why it read as a flaky gate rather than a bug.

The failures at review time are consistent with this, but were not proven to be
it: the suite was running while agents edited live config files in place, and a
brief change to .vale.ini or .pre-commit-hooks.yaml would produce the same two
failures. The race is real and fixed either way.

Implementation Notes

`grep -q P <<< "$VAR"` has no separate writer process, so there is nothing to
race. It is not a retry or a sleep. 121 sites converted across 9 files, three of
them scripts rather than tests: new-agent.sh, new-skill.sh and
check-executables-allow-sync.sh. None ships via .pre-commit-hooks.yaml, so no
external consumer pins them, and all three are single-pipeline checks whose
verdict cannot change.

Left alone deliberately: 14 sites whose writer is a command, not a shell
builtin — they either absorb the writer's status with `|| true` or are python3
and awk, which write once at exit — and one file with no pipefail. `printf '%s'`
sites differ from a here-string only by a trailing newline, which no -q verdict
on a non-empty pattern depends on.

tests/test-no-pipefail-early-exit-grep.sh is a static guard against new
occurrences, discovered automatically by run-tests.sh. It only scans files that
set pipefail, joins continuation lines, skips comments, and flags only
echo/printf writers. Its first case proves the scanner can fail before its
second trusts a clean verdict on the tree.

A guard covers exactly the spellings its regex models, so the miss surface was
measured rather than assumed. Four were found and closed: pipefail declared as
`set -o errexit -o pipefail` (where the old pattern required pipefail to follow
the FIRST -o, and a file-level miss skips every site in that file); a writer
separated from grep by an intermediate stage; a pipeline wrapped on a trailing
`|` rather than a backslash; and readers spelled egrep, fgrep, /bin/grep,
`command grep` or with an env-var prefix. Segment characters exclude a bare `&`
so `echo ok && other | grep -q x`, whose writer is `other`, does not false-fire.
Widening surfaced 5 live sites invisible to the original scanner, all in
tests/test-apm-current-hook.sh, all `echo "$out" | json_field ... | grep -q`;
they are safe today only because json_field is python3, which reads to EOF and
writes once. Fixtures go 4 to 12 vulnerable spellings plus near-miss negatives.

Two `grep ... | head -1` sites (test-vale-wrap.sh) are the same race with a
different early-exiting reader, and are fixed by absorbing the writer. The
scanner deliberately does not model `head`, `sed -n 1p` or a bare `read`: most
legitimate uses in this tree are already absorbed with `|| true` and the scanner
cannot see absorption from pipeline text, so a high false-positive rate would be
how this guard gets weakened. Heredoc bodies are scanned as code; none in the
tree trips it today.

Impact

The bug predates the factory-audit merge: every converted site in
check-release-needed and case 21 dates to 4d018af and aa8cc22 (2026-08-09).

Test suites go 19 to 20. `run-tests.sh --strict` passes 20/20 with 0 skipped,
four consecutive runs.

620f20b0fd refactor(kyberforge)!: merge skill-audit and agent-audit into factory-audit
Why

The two audit skills carried 1,724 lines of byte-identical duplication: the ADR-0020 boundary
resolver (1,061), vale-wrap.sh (526), the Vale style rules (44) and the Contributing-files parser
(93). Nothing shared them — they were held in sync by a 413-line pre-push gate and its 797-line
test suite. Sync-by-gate had already failed once: at 484357a the two parser copies drifted into
different spellings of the bullet loop while a docstring asserted they were identical. That drift
was behaviour-neutral and was re-unified by hand at 598a7c3, so the copies were identical at merge
time — but nothing had caught it, and the next drift need not be neutral.

Implementation Notes

Self-containment binds BETWEEN skills, not within one. The agentskills.io spec forbids reaching
across skill directories, which is why two separate skills needed embedded copies; two files inside
ONE skill may source a third. That is the whole reason the merge removes duplication rather than
relocating it.

The union of both bodies measured 1,532 words against BODY_MAX_WORDS=900, and only 211 of those
words were shared, so SKILL.md is a dispatch body. Step 0 resolves the flow from the target path
before any validation, and its table mirrors validate.sh's detection exactly: a directory holding
SKILL.md or a SKILL.md file (skill); a *.agent.md, or a .md directly under an agents/ directory
(agent); anything else stops without running a validator. Steps 1-3 live in
references/skill-flow.md and references/agent-flow.md, and gotchas that apply to one flow live in
that flow's file, since it is loaded on every invocation anyway. If validate.sh reports on the
other artifact type, the body restarts at Step 0.

Named factory-audit rather than forge-audit because forge is a live skill, and a family prefix that
matches a live sibling reads as ownership rather than membership.

The description carries one arrow per boundary target, because ADR-0020 resolves only the first
target after an arrow. It drops the quoted "audit this skill"-style phrases, which restated
"audited" in a second register (ADR-0020's duplicate-register rule). 241 characters, Gotchas 16%
of the body: no size SUGGESTIONs.

The boundary resolver stays embedded in two files rather than imported: a cache-installed plugin
cannot read outside its own directory, and the repo-root hook resolves via .pre-commit-hooks.yaml
where entry[0] is the only token pre-commit rewrites, so no single file is reachable by both.
tests/test-adr0020-contract.sh hashes both copies for byte-identity, and asserts validate.sh sources
the resolver and that no third copy exists.

The entry scripts classify the target from its resolved parent directory, so a bare agent filename
typed inside agents/ works; resolve SCRIPT_DIR CDPATH-safely; and exit 2 when a lib-*.sh is
missing, rather than dying with exit 1, the tier the flows relay as real findings.

The provenance run functions stash their findings code in KYBERFORGE_PROV_RC and
return 0, so validate-provenance.sh calls them UNTESTED. Testing a function's
status (`f || RC=$?`) disables errexit for its entire body, and no subshell or
`set -e` inside can re-arm it once the call sits in a condition context
(measured, both spellings). Their error paths use `exit`, which is unaffected
either way; this keeps errexit armed for anything added later.

Case 0's readability guard reads the file instead of asking `[[ -r ]]`. `-r` is
access(2), which answers yes for uid 0 even on a mode-000 file, and this repo's
dev environment is root -- so the guard could never fire where it exists to fire.
A read attempt is also the stricter question, catching EIO. This is the reasoning
scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh carried before this commit deleted it; the
hazard did not go with it.

All three entry scripts are CDPATH-safe, vale-wrap.sh included: both of its cd sites are cleared,
the --config resolution and the directory-mirror walk, where an exported CDPATH would otherwise
print a decoy path into the -print0 stream and build the mirror from the decoy's files. The two
remaining bare cd calls take absolute paths, which CDPATH is never consulted for.

Impact

BREAKING: skill-audit and agent-audit no longer exist as invocable skills. kyberforge goes to
2.0.0 (catalog 0.4.7).

Check logic is unchanged: differential runs of the old and new validators across every skill and
agent produced byte-identical stdout, stderr and exit codes, and the reconstructed Python payloads
differ only in comments and the references/field-inventory.md -> agent-field-inventory.md rename.
One doctrine governs the tiers: exit 0 is audited and clean, exit 1 is audited with findings OR a
target present but unreadable, exit 2 is that nothing was audited at all. Edge paths DID change,
deliberately (full table in ADR-0025):
- a missing target exits 2 (never ran), not 1, under its own "does not exist" message; detection is
  by path shape, so a shape-matching path that is simply absent used to reach the validator and come
  back as a FAIL against a file that never existed;
- an unshaped target exits 2 under the generic "matches neither" message, and a directory with no
  SKILL.md under a third, distinct one -- three exit-2 messages, not one;
- a dangling symlink or a symlink loop stays exit 1: it is present but broken, which is a finding
  about the artifact rather than a usage error;
- a SKILL.md file path is audited as its skill directory instead of refused;
- a .md agent outside an agents/ directory is refused rather than audited;
- a missing script library, a missing python3, a missing PyYAML, and no argument at all each exit 2.
  validate-provenance.sh already exited 2 for the last two; validate.sh now matches it.

.pre-commit-hooks.yaml is a published contract consumed by external repos. Both hook IDs and both
files: regexes are unchanged; only entry: and description: moved.

scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh (413), scripts/sync-vale-styles.sh (21),
tests/test-check-vale-style-sync.sh (797) and agent-audit/scripts/README.md (47) are deleted. The
checker made 17 assertions: 6 compared the two Vale copies and are moot; 10 are rehomed into
tests/test-vale-wrap.sh (case 0, cases 28-31, and the suite's Vale-absent skip); and the
cross-manifest files: agreement check, which selected hooks by entry: and so could not survive both
hooks sharing one, is ported as case 33 pairing hooks by id:. Cases 28, 30 and 33 carry mutation
self-tests; narrowing the local skill prefilter to 6 of 38 SKILL.md files now fails the suite.

Skills go 39 to 38. Pre-push goes 9 repo-authored hooks to 8.

ADR: 0025
BREAKING-CHANGE: the skill-audit and agent-audit skills are removed. Both flows are served by
  factory-audit, which auto-detects whether it was handed a skill directory or an agent file.

718c79af70 chore: drop the flat content mirror and native install support (ADR-0024)
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.

bde9f7fdd8 chore: fix stale skill-frontmatter and check-manifests references
c8a7c9e folded the skill-frontmatter hook into skill-size-check but
left validate.sh's FAIL messages, skill-author's create.md, and the
skill template's frontmatter comment naming the deleted hook as the
enforcer -- misleading for anyone tracing a FAIL back to the gate that
raises it.

f11b645 swept check-manifests references but missed a hand-authored
"Local hooks in this repo" table in the git plugin's vendored
pre-commit research doc, which still listed both check-manifests and
skill-frontmatter as active hooks.

edcc57c0d6 docs: trim skill READMEs and ADR/changelog narration
Two related simplification-audit findings, bundled because they edit
some of the same skill-audit files and splitting would fragment
single-file diffs.

Finding 10: delete 48 per-skill/reference README.md files (they
restated SKILL.md in narrative form and no agent ever loads them) plus
2 scaffold templates. Drop the README criterion from skill-audit's
file-structure.md and finding-criteria.md, and the README-generation
step from skill-author's new-skill.sh; update new-skill.bats to match.
Plugin-root READMEs are kept intentionally, out of scope.

Finding 12: strip historical ADR-0020/ADR-0023 citations and
changelog-style narration from model-facing skill content across
kyberforge and git plugin skills. Delete skill-author's one-time
retrofit.md migration guide and its references. Some ADR-0023 tags
were not narration but check-rtk-prefix's required opt-out marker for
intentionally-bare git commands -- those were restored, not stripped.

Mirror re-synced and full pre-commit/pre-push suite verified green.

3811f5481b fix(kyberforge): unblock the scaffold and finish the #125 and ADR-0022 edits
Three related half-applied changes from #130, each leaving the corpus in a state its own
documentation contradicts.

Why:
- `assets/templates/SKILL.md` shipped `metadata:` fully commented out, and `new-skill.sh` only
  substitutes SKILL_NAME. Every scaffolded skill therefore lacked the `metadata.version` ADR-0022
  made mandatory and was blocked at first commit by the very hook this PR added. The commented
  example also read `"1.0"` — neither the `0.1.0` new-skill seed nor valid semver.
- `agent-audit/references/scope-project-user.md` still joined `disable-model-invocation` and
  `user-invocable` with a slash — #125's defect verbatim — while pointing the reader at the file
  this PR had just corrected to say the opposite.
- ADR-0022 required the "when present" bump conditional dropped and `metadata.version` moved into
  create.md's required list. It was dropped from SKILL.md but left in README.md, and the field was
  edited in place under a heading that still authorises removing it entirely.

Implementation notes:
- The template emits `metadata: version: "0.1.0"` live, captioned as required, with the optional
  keys left commented. `new-skill.bats` gains a case asserting a live key and three-part semver, so
  this cannot regress.
- `description-quality.md` now asserts only what the vendored Copilot research supports: two fields
  with opposite defaults, and the retired `infer` replaced by the pair rather than by either alone.
  The unsupported negative it previously stated as fact is gone.
- The `1.0.0` retrofit seed is stated in improve.md and retrofit.md, which the retrofit flow
  actually reads — create.md, where it lived, is unreachable from that path. The compression item
  moved out of the file-churn checklist, whose preamble excluded the wording-only change it covers.
- Executable git commands in these three skills now carry the ADR-0023 rtk prefix.

175ea89c0a fix(skill-audit): make check 9 reachable, wrap-safe and never silently skipped
Check 9 shipped in #130 to close #118, but three defects meant it could not do the job it was
added for.

Why:
- It is INFO-only, so it always exits 0 — and SKILL.md graded exit 0 "a genuine pass" and said the
  script "prints nothing on success". Every check-9 INFO was discarded before it reached a report,
  behind three further doors that only opened on a non-zero exit.
- `parse_field_raw()` matched `(.+)`, which does not span newlines, so only the first physical line
  of a wrapped value was compared. Rewriting only the continuation line of a wrapped Description
  from a hedge to a confident claim produced no finding at all — verbatim the regression #118 was
  filed about. The bullet branch had the same shape: a wrapped bullet broke the loop and dropped
  every later entry.
- A `git show` failure at the base ref was treated as "creation, nothing to flag" and skipped the
  whole skill with no output, collapsing "absent at that ref" with "not tracked under that name".
  A gitignored `.claude/skills/` copy reported clean while the authoring path reported four changed
  claims. The script's own usage text promises this is "never a silent skip".

Implementation notes:
- Exit-code guidance re-keyed on output as well as code: 0-and-silent passes, 0-with-output is
  INFO-only findings, 1 is FAILs, 2 never ran.
- `parse_field_raw()` is line-based and joins continuation lines; `normalize_field_text()`'s
  docstring is now true rather than aspirational. A reorder deliberately fires: the two fields share
  one parser, and order-insensitivity would mean splitting a prose Description on commas.
- The discarded `show_err` is now surfaced as one whole-check INFO naming both readings.
- `--base-ref=` given empty now beats the env var, as the usage text always claimed.

`validate.sh` gains an ADR-0022 `metadata.version` check at FAIL tier, because any lower tier lets
skill-author Step 4 report done on a file the commit gate then refuses. Its `read` heuristic now
skips here-doc bodies — reflowing the one offending line would have cleared the finding and left
the cause, since every usage() heredoc is one wrap from putting the English verb in column 0.

Impact: provenance tests 73 -> 82, validate tests 64 -> 72. Test 72 previously deleted origin/main
before asserting the override, so it proved the flag works with no default rather than that it beats
one; it now moves origin/main forward first.

09eea5e7ab fix(skill-audit): flag a changed provenance claim, not just its shape
validate-provenance.sh checked that a sources.md entry was internally
consistent -- slugs resolve, Contributing files exist, back-references
match -- but never whether the asserted contribution was true. A
retrofit once turned an honest hedge into a false confident claim and
every existing check passed it silently.

A literal-filename cross-check (flag a description naming a .md file
absent from Contributing files) was tried and rejected: 3/95 flagged
against the real corpus, all three false positives, and it would not
have caught the actual bug -- the bad description never named a
literal filename. No bash script can verify semantic truth, so the fix
uses what git can reliably detect -- a changed field -- purely as a
trigger for what can verify semantics: the auditor reading the files.

New check 9 flags (INFO only, never FAIL) any Description or
Contributing-files text change against a base ref (default: merge-base
with origin/main, overridable via --base-ref). A slug absent at the
base ref is a creation, not a change, and is not flagged. skill-audit's
rubric now tells the auditor a check-9 INFO means open the named files
and verify by reading, not just relay it. skill-author's retrofit
checklist gained a matching authoring-time guardrail: don't upgrade a
hedge into a confident claim without re-reading the source first.

8 new bats tests (73 total, 0 failures).

disable-model-invocation and user-invocable are independent Copilot
fields: the first gates whether the runtime auto-selects an agent (i.e.
whether its description is a routing string), the second only gates
manual invocation. An agent can be disable-model-invocation: false plus
user-invocable: false and still be model-routed, so the old bullet

60be7b3232 refactor(skills): mandate metadata.version on every skill's frontmatter
Only 12 of 39 skills carried metadata.version, and adoption tracked
which plugin a skill lived in rather than any stated rule: core,
gitea and lint were consistent adopters, bin and kyberforge were
consistent non-adopters, git was split with one outlier. There was
no documented convention, and skill-author's own bump logic was
already written as if presence were conditional.

metadata.version is now required on every skill. The 19 skills here
that never carried one (bin, kyberforge, gitea-files) are seeded at
1.0.0, not 0.1.0 -- that value stays reserved for a skill's actual
creation point under skill-author's existing convention. The
skill-frontmatter pre-commit hook now fails a SKILL.md missing the
field, the same class of failure as a missing name/description.

Full rationale in the new ADR. The git-plugin skills that also need
this field follow in the next commit, bundled with issue #113's rtk
normalization since both touch the same files.

598a7c326a 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`.

54d7bd80ba docs: rule host built-ins out of the routing target universe
Closes the second open design decision on PR #103. The `/compact` finding was
recorded as a false positive needing an allowlist or a suppression mechanism.
It is neither: the routing universe is the apm marketplace, so a target either
resolves to a skill or an agent or it does not resolve, and `/compact`,
`/clear` and `/init` are Claude Code slash commands with no counterpart in
Copilot CLI or Codex. `.apm/` source compiles for all three, so a
vendor-neutral description routing to one is a portability defect and the hard
FAIL is a true positive.

An allowlist was rejected for a concrete reason, not a stylistic one: it
answers a different question ("does this exist on some host?"), it cannot
answer that portably from a single source file, and it goes stale the next
time a host ships a command — reintroducing the same-commit-two-verdicts
failure ADR-0020 already closed for deployed trees.

Nothing is blocked today: zero of the 43 descriptions name a host built-in,
and an author who needs to mention one writes it un-slashed, which is not
route notation and carries no routing claim.

Recorded in ADR-0020 and in both author-facing contract references, so the
next agent reads the decision rather than "fixing" the gate.

75a13c82f6 fix(kyberforge): scope corroboration to a real sentence boundary
A prose-form routing target blocks a commit only when its own sentence names
another target that resolves. That makes the sentence splitter part of the
ADR-0020 contract rather than an implementation detail, and the naive
"period, space, capital" rule got it wrong in both directions:

- OVER-SPLIT: `e.g. "..."` is not a sentence end, but the quote looks like a
  start. The clause was cut in half and the corroborator stranded on the far
  side, so a genuinely dangling target silently demoted to SUGGESTION — a
  measurement taken and then discarded, the vacuous-green shape this gate
  exists to prevent. Seven such splits are live in the current corpus.
- UNDER-SPLIT: a sentence opening with a code span or a lowercase skill name
  was not seen as a start, so two sentences merged and a resolving target
  vouched for an unresolvable one it never stood beside — a hard FAIL with no
  escape hatch, which is the exact failure corroboration was added to prevent.

The splitter now excludes the five abbreviations that occur in routing prose
and admits a backtick or lowercase letter as a sentence opener. Applied
byte-identically to all three copies of the shared resolver.

Verified zero-delta against the corpus: 37 ERROR / 58 SUGGESTION / 2 dangling
before and after, findings byte-identical. The exposure this closes is to the
descriptions #99 is about to rewrite, not to the ones already measured — which
is why the deferral reason recorded on PR #103 ("can move the documented corpus
counts") does not hold and the fix lands here rather than after the retrofit.

Three regression tests, one per direction plus the backtick opener, each proven
non-vacuous by reverting the splitter alone and watching it go red.

ede3f06689 fix(kyberforge): restore the authoring rules the ADR-0020 trim dropped
Diffing each retrofitted SKILL.md against its replacement references/ files found
rules that existed on main and now existed nowhere — relocated in intent, deleted in
fact. A trim that loses a rule is not progressive disclosure, it is data loss with a
smaller word count.

Three had no survivor. The least-privilege guidance for `tools` kept its mechanics
and lost the "restrict to what the agent needs" half, so the remaining text read as
encouragement to omit the field. The improve flow lost its regression check, so
nothing compared the closing audit against the pre-edit state and a PASS quietly
becoming a SUGGESTION went unnoticed — restored on both halves of the author pair,
since agent-author had dropped its equivalent too. And agent bodies lost "would the
agent get this wrong without it?", which mattered more than it looks: ADR-0020
deliberately sets no body word gate for agents, three of the four already sit
between 933 and 1,199 words, and the delegation check only fires on procedure a
skill already owns. That heuristic was the only brake left.

Two more were reachable only from the wrong scope. agent-author tells the reader to
load only the file for the resolved scope, but the mcp__ glob syntax for
disallowedTools and the five tools no subagent ever receives had both landed in
project-user-scope.md. disallowedTools is the ONLY permitted fence at plugin/APM
scope, so the scope that needs the syntax most could not reach it, and a plugin-scope
run could write a body telling the agent to ask the user a question.

Two documents were actively wrong rather than merely thin. agent-audit told auditors
that validate.sh resolves boundary targets for skills only; it runs at both scopes,
so the auditor was hand-resolving what the script had already decided and could
contradict it. And skill-audit routed to its script-troubleshooting reference
whenever validate.sh "fails" — but it exits 1 on ordinary content FAILs, the normal
outcome for the whole #99 population, so 1,302 words loaded on nearly every audit.
A context-budget regression inside the skill that enforces the context budget.

Finally, two illustrations taught the shape the gate ERRORs on, unfenced, while an
adjacent rubric called it a hard ERROR.

LESSONS.md records the reference-chain depth rule flipping from "one level deep" to
"two hops, never three". ADR-0020 is silent on it and the reversal rode entirely on
the diff; the looser rule is what mandatory dispatch requires.

b0d6d08239 test: pin the nine ADR-0020 gate defects that shipped untested
Every defect fixed in f7cc279 was reachable because nothing asserted against it.
The gate had 43 assertions and none of them covered a consumer repo, a non-string
description, an unclosed fence, or the two spec ceilings. Each case below fails
against the pre-fix code and passes against the current one; every one was proved
non-vacuous by mutating a scratch copy of the script and watching the test go red,
independently twice.

The two that mattered most had no fixture anywhere. A consumer repo WITH .git is
the shape the resolver exists to serve, and only the no-.git case had ever been
tested, which is exactly why the blocker was invisible. And ADR-0020 says the
walk-up runs in two passes specifically so a nested .git cannot beat a plugins/
root further up — no fixture had ever placed a .git inside a plugin.

test-adr0020-differential.sh loses _non_adr_hook_error(). It excluded MAX_LINES and
MAX_WORDS from the cross-script comparison on the untested assumption that awk and
splitlines() agree. They do not, and the divergence stayed invisible for exactly as
long as the exclusion stood. The ceilings are now compared like any other rule.

Two existing assertions were repairs, not additions. The skill-improve probe had
been fixed by this very branch, so its iteration permanently took an
assertion-free SKIP that still counted as a pass; both branches now fail loudly and
each names the other file's pin so the two stay in step. And the yaml-none fixture
emitted `---/---`, which never matched the frontmatter pattern at all — it passed on
the bare word "frontmatter", present in both messages, while never reaching the
branch it was named for. Needles throughout that file now name their branch.

f7cc27908c fix(kyberforge): close the vacuous-green and consumer-resolution defects
Review of the ADR-0020 gate found four ways it could exit 0 without measuring, and
one way it hard-failed a repo it had no business failing. On a gate shipping hot
with no baseline, a silent pass is the worst outcome available and a false block is
the second worst.

Consumer resolution was the blocker. _authoring_root() fell back to the nearest
.git, so it returned truthy in ANY git repo; _collect_authoring_root() then
contributed nothing and the deployed-tree branch was dead code in precisely the
consumer case it exists for. A consumer repo routing to an installed sibling got an
unblockable ERROR, and deleting .git "fixed" it. It now keys on which of the two
walk-up passes matched. A name-count delta was tried first and is wrong: a
single-plugin monorepo re-collects its own package and adds no new name, so the
delta reads zero and drags the deployed trees — including a global ~/.claude — back
into the universe. That reintroduces the install-dependence ADR-0020 forbids, one
layer down.

The three silent passes: an indented `---` inside a block scalar truncated the
frontmatter and reclassified the rest of the description as body; a non-string
description was str()-coerced, so `description: true` measured as the four-character
"True"; and an unterminated fence blanked the rest of the body, disabling the
ERROR-tier references/ check and the gotcha counts.

Two measurement defects came with them. The awk line/word counts discarded awk's
exit status, so an unreadable file passed both spec ceilings in total silence, and
awk NR/NF disagreed with the audit script's splitlines()/split() on Unicode
whitespace — the "fix one gate, get blocked by the other" bug, on the two axes the
differential test deliberately excluded. Both counts now run in the Python block
that already reads the file. A type error also no longer reports itself as a syntax
error.

Also: glob metacharacters in the checkout path silently disabled the resolver;
re.I was applied to some extraction patterns and not others; agent-audit missed
`tools:` written as a YAML block sequence, the shape Copilot files use; and a
nonexistent agent file raised a bare FileNotFoundError instead of a diagnostic.

The shared resolver block stays byte-identical across all three scripts. Corpus
output is unchanged — 26 description FAIL, 9 body FAIL, 2 dangling, 0 missing
references, 58 SUGGESTIONs — so no documented count moves.

sitting told them different things — or where the trim dropped a rule and nothing
noticed because no gate covers prose.

**"Use proactively" contradicted itself across the pair.** All three agent
templates said to add it where the runtime should delegate unprompted, while
`agent-audit`'s `KyberforgeCopilot.ProactivePhrase` rule grades it a hard FAIL in
any `*.agent.md` — which is the Copilot half of every project/user pair *and* the
vendor-neutral plugin-scope file, since that compiles to a real Copilot agent
downstream. Following the template produced a file the repo's own gate rejects.
The phrase is now permitted in exactly one place, the Claude Code `.md`, and
`references/contract.md` carries the per-file table plus the consequence authors
ask about next: a pair whose CC half has it and whose Copilot half does not is
correct, because `agent-audit` checks that both halves describe the same job, not
that they match word for word.

**The output-schema rule contradicted itself inside one file.** `contract.md`
said any content only one branch reaches moves to `references/`, and then offered
an "Output format template" body pattern with no qualification. Stated once now,
so it is not re-litigated: an output schema stays in the body only when every flow
produces it and it is roughly 50 words or less. No third option.

**Gotchas tiers disagreed with the script.** `validate.sh` emits the entry count
through `suggest()` and exits 0, while `skill-author` and `skill-audit` both
called more than five entries a FAIL. Whether a given gotcha earns its place is
judgment, so the prose moves to the script's tier rather than the reverse. The
paraphrase rule stays a FAIL and is explicitly marked as the auditor's call — no
script detects it.

**The dispatch exemplar was cited at the wrong number.** `apm-workflow`'s body is
421 words; 554 is its whole-file count. Both `contract.md` and `body-discipline.md`
cited 554 while describing a body budget, so an author calibrating against the
exemplar overshot by ~30% — the exact whole-file/body-only conflation those two
sections exist to warn against, reproduced inside the warning.

**"Error handling" came back as a required body element.** It was one of four and
is the one that gets dropped, and dropping it is not neutral: an agent handed
malformed input with no instruction invents a recovery, and a subagent's invented
recovery is invisible to its caller until the output is wrong. Restored in
`agent-audit`'s rubric as a SUGGESTION, in `agent-author`'s contract and both
scope checklists as a required element, and as an `## Errors` section in all three
templates.

**`skill-author` Step 4 gains the one check the audit misses.** An empty body
reports `PASS SKILL.md body word count 0` — a word gate cannot tell "concise"
from "absent". Step 4 now hand-checks for a non-empty section, and its commit
verification is conditioned on actually being inside a git worktree, which a skill
under `~/.claude/skills/` is not.

Also here: absolute repo paths removed from `skill-author`'s SKILL.md and
contract.md in favour of naming the skill (`zoom-out`'s description is quoted
inline instead of pointed at), the boundary-target universe documented to match
the resolver, a two-hops-from-SKILL.md limit on reference chains, and
`new-agent.sh`'s next-steps output naming the description budget and the
deliberate absence of an agent body gate.

2540e50fcc feat(kyberforge): give skill-author a procedure for the #99 retrofit
ADR-0020 shipped its gates hot with no baseline file, so 26 of 39 descriptions
and 9 of 39 bodies are over their FAIL tier and editing any of them for any
reason requires bringing the skill into contract first. `references/improve.md`
said exactly that and stopped there — it mandated a retrofit and supplied no
procedure for one.

Four dry-run retrofits confirmed what that costs. Asked the same questions —
what to cut first, when a body is two flows rather than one, what else has to
change alongside — they invented six to ten different answers, so the same skill
retrofitted twice produced two different skills and neither run could be reviewed
against anything.

`references/retrofit.md` fixes the answers: an ordered cut list ranked by tokens
removed against behaviour lost (inverting that order is how a retrofit deletes the
instruction the skill existed to carry), the test for whether a body holds two
mutually exclusive flows, the reference-file conventions, the collateral checklist
for `README.md` and `references/sources.md`, and a worked description retrofit.

It also states the trap the dry runs kept hitting: retrofit the skill in place,
inside its package. The boundary-target universe is built by walking up from the
file being checked, so a scratch copy has no authoring root above it, the check
prints `INFO ... DID NOT RUN`, and the run still exits 0 — a line that reads as a
pass and is not one. A retrofit signed off on a copy carries an unverified
boundary target into the corpus.

Loaded from the improve flow only when a budget is actually exceeded, so a routine
improvement pays nothing for it.

a85bdbed42 fix(kyberforge): restore skill-audit's script-failure fallback and E100 diagnostic
The ADR-0020 body trim took `skill-audit` from 2,623 body words to a dispatch
shape, and two things went out with it that were not padding.

The manual structural fallback was one. Its replacement was a single sentence
telling the auditor to report an INFO when `validate.sh` cannot run — so with no
`python3` or no PyYAML, `skill-audit` reported the gap honestly and then audited
nothing structural at all. Every ADR-0020 measurement, the whole-file ceilings,
the name-to-directory match, the `references/` pointer check and the script
hygiene checks silently left the audit. A skill's whole Structure dimension
hanging on one optional interpreter is the same vacuous-pass shape the gate
scripts were just fixed for, one layer up.

The `E100 Runtime error ... does not exist` diagnostic was the other. That exit
code means an explicit relative `--config` was passed to `vale-wrap.sh` while
vale itself was installed and working; without the note, Step 1's fallback reads
exit 2 as "vale unavailable" and downgrades the description, body-discipline and
patterns dimensions to full LLM judgment for a config error it could have fixed.
That misreading is already recorded in CONTEXT.md as the reason both audit skills
stopped passing `--config` at all.

Both are restored in `references/validation-scripts.md`, loaded only when a Step 1
script fails — so the body pays nothing for them on a clean run, which is what the
dispatch pattern is for. The file also carries the by-hand boundary-target
procedure and the three ways to misread the result, including that
`INFO ... DID NOT RUN` is not a pass.

`references/file-structure.md` gains the one sanctioned spelling for a cross-skill
reference. The possessive form (``skill-audit's references/validation-scripts.md``)
is the only spelling both rules accept: a full repo path is what that section
already forbids, and a bare `references/<file>.md` is now a hard ERROR from the
ADR-0020 pointer check, which requires the file to exist in the skill's *own*
directory. Without the rule the two constraints look mutually exclusive.

b6e68e9a2b fix(kyberforge): close the vacuous-pass paths in the ADR-0020 gate scripts
Three ways the gates could report green having measured nothing. All three were
invisible to a passing test suite, because pre-commit prints nothing at all for a
hook that exits 0 — a gate that declines to check and a gate that checked and
passed produce the identical signal.

- A UTF-8 BOM, a leading blank line, a trailing space after a `---` marker or
  CRLF line endings defeated the `^---\n` frontmatter matcher. Every ADR-0020
  check was then skipped and the file passed: measured at the time, a
  550-character description with a 1,000-word body exited 0 behind a BOM.
  All four shapes are now tolerated, and frontmatter that genuinely cannot be
  parsed is a hard ERROR rather than a silent skip.
- An agent file with a valueless `description:` followed by another key let a
  line regex capture the *next* key, which looked non-empty, so the
  missing-or-empty branch never fired and every gate below it early-returned on
  the empty folded value — zero output, exit 0, on a blocking gate. The one
  field this contract is entirely about was the one field a gate could fail to
  notice was absent. Presence is now decided on the YAML-folded value and
  nowhere else, and a missing or empty description is a hard FAIL in all three
  validators.
- The hand-rolled frontmatter fallback disagreed with PyYAML across the FAIL
  boundary on folded scalars, so which reader happened to be available decided
  the verdict. A fallback that mis-parses a scalar shape reports a vacuous pass,
  which is worse than not running, so it is deleted: python3 and PyYAML are hard
  requirements that fail loudly with an install pointer.

Boundary-target resolution no longer derives its universe from its own location.
A `${BASH_SOURCE}`-relative repo root leaked this repo's 39-skill universe into
every consumer repo running the hook through pre-commit, so a consumer skill
routing to `skill-audit` resolved against a plugin it had never installed. The
interim form resolved through `.claude/` and `.agents/`, which are gitignored
`apm install` output — the same commit reported 2 dangling targets on a machine
that had run the install and 6 on a fresh clone. Resolution now walks up from the
file being checked to an authoring root (nearest ancestor holding
`plugins/*/.apm/{skills,agents}`, else the nearest `.git`, in two passes so a
nested `.git` cannot outrank a real monorepo root); the universe is every skill
and agent under `<root>/plugins/*/` plus the file's own apm package and that
package's declared `dependencies.apm`. Deployed trees are consulted only when no
authoring root exists at all — the consumer case. One commit now gets one verdict,
which a gate shipping hot with no baseline file has to.

Narrowed in the same pass: a routing target inferred from the prose boundary form
and corroborated by nothing else reports at SUGGESTION instead of blocking. A
blocking check with no escape hatch is the wrong trade when the inference from
prose is the weak part of it.

New deterministic checks, all previously untested or absent: every
`references/<file>.md` a body names must exist (ERROR — a broken pointer is not a
style opinion); a description with no boundary clause at all, a Gotchas section
over five entries, and a Gotchas section over 25% of the body are SUGGESTIONs.
Where no universe can be determined the target check prints `INFO ... DID NOT
RUN` rather than passing quietly. Each prose-scanning check needed its own
false-positive fix — a fenced example of a Gotchas section was being read as the
section itself — and those fixes are pinned rather than assumed.

The resolver is one block copied verbatim into all three scripts between
BEGIN/END markers, because a cache-installed plugin's scripts cannot read outside
their own plugin directory. Nothing asserted the copies were still identical; a
one-line edit to a single copy passed every constant-agreement assertion, since
constants are not what drifts.

Tests land here rather than in a later commit. The existing suites assert the old
behaviour and go red against these scripts, so splitting them would leave a commit
whose own `run-tests` pre-push gate fails in isolation.

4a5c3c0cff feat(kyberforge): enforce the ADR-0020 context contract for skills and agents
Skill name+description pairs are preloaded into every session, costing
~6,200 tokens across 39 skills before any skill is invoked. The authoring
rules mandated that growth: skill-author:104 and description-quality.md:21
both required padding, while skill-author:102 (the deflating rule) had no
FAIL condition behind it.

Gates (blocking, no baseline file):
- description 250 chars SUGGESTION / 400 FAIL, measured on the folded
  YAML value
- body-only 600 words SUGGESTION / 900 FAIL, independent of the unchanged
  whole-file 2770-word / 500-line spec backstop
- every boundary-clause routing target must resolve to a real skill or
  agent; catches skill-improve, neuledge-context and gitea-labels
- agents take the description gates but deliberately no body gate; a test
  pins that absence

Vale: DescriptionOpener widened to ^This\b, new CompositionNote rule
banning architecture notes from descriptions. 10 hits, 0 false positives.

Kyberforge's own four skills retrofitted: descriptions 3,364 -> 938 chars
(-72%), bodies 8,306 -> 2,487 words (-70%), all via the apm-workflow
dispatch pattern. Fixes the skill-improve dangling route and the
agent-author misroute to manual review.

Also fixes a pre-existing false positive where any line-initial 'read '
was flagged as interactive input, which had already caused two scripts to
be rewritten around it.

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.

b8dc400365 fix: reap only our own jobs, and say why a vale probe missed
batch_run ended with a bare wait, which blocks on every background job the
calling shell has, not the ones it started. Harmless for all three current
callers, but a future caller that backgrounds anything of its own would have
batch_run block on it or consume its status. It now records each $! and reaps
exactly those PIDs.

The `wait "$pid" || true` there is load-bearing: unlike a bare wait, wait <pid>
returns the job's status, so without it a single failing job would abort the
set -e caller at the call site -- before run-tests.sh or sync-plugin-content.sh
could read their .status files and print a summary. Status semantics stay in
those files, exactly as before.

check-vale-style-sync.sh's glob probe discarded vale's exit code and output and
decided purely on a grep, so a failed exec, an OOM-killed vale or a full TMPDIR
was indistinguishable from a real glob defect -- both printed "its glob sections
do not cover a path" with no evidence. A flake seen once in this probe could not
be diagnosed afterwards for that reason. The probe now attaches vale's rc and
output: a genuine glob defect reads "vale exited 0 ... in 0 files", a killed vale
reads "vale exited 137; output: <empty>".

That flake was investigated and not reproduced -- 1680 probes across three
contention setups including an offline namespace, all clean -- so nothing is
changed speculatively. The misattribution is worth recording: it was reported
against tests/test-vale-wrap.sh, which never invokes this script; the assertion
belongs to check-vale-style-sync.sh and reaches a log through a different suite.

Also drops the last stale field roster from agent-author's scaffolder. Its
next-steps hint enumerated "(name, description, model, body only)" -- omitting
disallowedTools, and never accurate anyway, since the template marks only
description and the body FILL IN. Its --help carried the inverted form, already
missing six forbidden fields. Both now state the shape rule and point at
field-inventory.md, and a bats case enforces all-or-nothing: name every
allowlisted field or name none, since a partial roster is the shape that goes
stale silently.

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.

7ba3d9cf1d fix(apm): pin the remote package and restore the agent write fence
mattpocock-skills was pinned as the range ^1.2.0 with no lockfile, so apm
re-resolved it against upstream on every pack. An upstream v1.2.4 would
invalidate the committed ref/sha and fail apm-pack-check-clean with exit 4,
blocking every push in the repo at an unrelated moment, triggered by a third
party. ADR-0015 claimed the opposite -- that nothing advances it. Pinned to
1.2.3, which resolves to the already-committed sha, so the only compiled
change is the version key the remote entry alone was missing.

marketplace.owner.email was dropped on a false premise: ADR-0015 said apm has
no key for it, but yml_schema.py defines _AUTHOR_OBJECT_KEYS as {name, email,
url} and the key compiles through. Restored. (displayName is genuinely
unsupported and stays dropped.)

ADR-0016 dropped per-agent tools: because the allowlist shape is unportable --
Claude takes a comma list, Copilot a {Tool: true} map. That holds. But a
denylist has no such conflict: disallowedTools is honoured by Claude Code and
is absent from its plugin-subagent ignore list, and Copilot copies agent
frontmatter verbatim so an unknown key is inert. gitea-orchestrate,
apm-orchestrate and lint-runner were all write-denied on main and lost that
fence silently; only lint-runner's loss was disclosed, and only lint-runner
had prose to fall back on. All three regain the fence, and the two with no
no-edit language gain three statements each. git-orchestrate is untouched --
it legitimately had edit.

Four plugins shipped changed compiled output under unchanged versions,
against the policy this PR itself wrote: bin 1.1.1->1.1.2, git 1.3.2->1.3.3,
gitea 1.3.3->1.3.4, lint 1.1.5->1.1.6, each in both the plugin manifest and
the root packages[] entry. Root catalog 0.3.3->0.3.4: patch, because the set
of entries is unchanged and what moved is the owner block and four versions.

013b913bd4 docs: correct claims the apm conversion left false
Documentation asserted things the code no longer did, which is how several of this
round's defects survived three review passes.

- `docs/spec/architecture.md` still described the pre-APM model — "each plugin has a
  `plugin.json` manifest" — when no such file exists. AGENTS.md routes agents here
  for the current structure, so it was live drift, not archive. Also cited ADR-0012
  where ADR-0003 is meant.
- AGENTS.md never said `.apm/` is the sole hand-edited source, while the generated
  mirror is byte-identical with no marker — an agent reading only AGENTS.md would
  edit the mirror and find out at pre-push. It also omitted that `apm` and `jq` are
  now required to push, unlike the `vale` bullet that exists for exactly that reason,
  and understated the pre-push gate. `apm marketplace check` hard-fails offline and
  `--offline` does not help, so the `SKIP=` escape hatch is documented rather than
  new machinery built.
- ADR-0017 carried hardcoded line numbers that drifted twice within one PR, and said
  `mcpServers` reinjection was real-syncs-only where the script's own header says
  both modes. Line numbers dropped rather than corrected.
- ADR-0015 asserted issue #90 was closed. It is open. Reworded to defer to the
  issue's own state rather than depend on someone remembering to close it.
- ADR-0014 said both audit skills pass `--config`; both SKILL.md files say pass none,
  and passing one fails with E100. The ADR was wrong.
- ADR-0007 cross-referenced an archived ADR-0011 whose number was later reused.
  Disambiguated with a note — renumbering a published ADR rewrites an immutable
  record and breaks every existing citation.
- CONTEXT.md claimed `lint-runner` is report-only via a missing `Edit` tool.
  Plugin-scope APM agents cannot express `tools:` (ADR-0016), so it is report-only by
  instruction now; ADR-0016 accepted that regression but CONTEXT.md was not updated.
- Recorded two undocumented consequences of the conversion: `displayName` dropped
  from all six compiled manifests and `owner.email` from the marketplace, and
  `mattpocock-skills` silently version-pinned and manually maintained.
- Wrote the version-bump policy issue #90 specified but never delivered. Its previous
  carrier, `marketplace-author`, was deleted in this PR, leaving the per-package rule
  documented nowhere.
- README fixes: kyberforge listed skills belonging to the `git` plugin and a deleted
  hooks path, `bin` advertised an agents directory it never had, and the docs index
  listed files that do not exist.

7910b8b12c docs(kyberforge): fix path drift and content gaps from apm conversion
The apm conversion (5e23250) moved skills/agents to plugins/<name>/.apm/
and deleted plugin-author/marketplace-author, but a review against issue
#90's Definition of Done found several stale pre-conversion references
left behind by straight git-mv's, plus one real content gap:

- ADR-0014 still documented the old flat vale-prefilter paths in 6
  places, despite ADR-0015 claiming it had been updated.
- ADR-0015 also overclaimed: it said ADR-0014 had both a skills/ and an
  agents/ path regex updated, but ADR-0014 never had an agents/ path
  regex to begin with (its one "agents" mention is a Vale glob-section
  identifier, not a filesystem path). Corrected the wording.
- CONTEXT.md's Skill glossary entry, its Vale-prefilter section, and its
  plugin-author/marketplace-author forward-pointer all still described
  the pre-conversion layout or a "pending issue #90" state that has since
  landed.
- LESSONS.md and two skill test READMEs pointed at skill-author/
  skill-audit/agent-author paths without the .apm/ segment.
- apm-workflow/references/marketplace.md cited plugin-author/SKILL.md's
  Gotchas for the Claude Code reserved plugin-name-prefix list, but that
  list was never actually carried into apm-workflow during the
  conversion despite ADR-0015 claiming it was. Recovered the list from
  git history and inlined it directly rather than leaving a dangling
  citation.
- agent-author/references/deployment-modes.md had an example
  contradicting its own stated .apm/agents/ convention two lines above.

5e232503c4 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.
