88866b81a3 fix(kyberforge): announce every provenance skip and scope checks 7-8 to source indexes
The clean provenance bill was an artifact. Checks 7 and 8 assume `Research doc:`
names a source index whose H2s are slugs, but 30 of 121 corpus entries point at
topic content documents whose H2s are topics. Those 30 produced every new check-7
INFO — all false positives. Check 8 aimed at the same documents, which carry no
`Status:` line at all, would have emitted a large false-FAIL flood; the only thing
preventing it was an unannounced `rd_status != extracted` skip. So "0 new FAILs"
rested on exactly the fail-open class this branch exists to remove, and naively
fixing the skip would have turned the branch red.

Checks 7/8 now run only when the research doc's basename is `sources.md`, and every
other case emits a visible INFO naming the slug. The dangling-path INFO stays ahead
of the basename gate, because a path that does not resolve is rot whatever it is
named. `parse_status` accepts the bullet form and a trailing note after the
backticked value, so a status it cannot read no longer reads as "nothing to check".

Corpus: 36 INFOs of which 30 were false, to 56 of which none are. FAIL stays 0, and
no Status line flipped to `extracted` under the new parser, so no FAIL was
suppressed by luck.

Also closed, each a silent pass: a nonexistent directory, a directory with no
SKILL.md, and extra arguments now exit 2; a UTF-8 BOM no longer defeats frontmatter
parsing; the bare `except Exception: return False` that turned an unreadable file
into a clean pass is gone, with all reads pinned to UTF-8; check 3 walks nested
`references/` subdirectories; `FILL IN:` at end of line no longer escapes checks 1
and 6; duplicate `## slug` blocks and repeated `Research doc:` lines are announced
rather than half-read.

The agent-audit copy carried all of the above unfixed and is now ported, minus the
four fixes that are genuinely N/A at agent scope — it reads a plugin-root
`sources.md` and has no checks 7/8 and no `references/` tree. Its silent exit 0 for
a file outside plugin scope is preserved deliberately: that is a verdict about a
valid file, not a skip, and `check-scope-walkup-sync.sh` pins it. Every exit-2 gate
therefore decides from the argument alone, before the walk-up runs.

`validation-scripts.md` said flatly that silence from the validator is a pass, not
a skip. That sentence is what made a typo'd path dangerous, and both copies are
corrected here. The matching SKILL.md exit-code guidance lands with the audit
rubric change, which touches the same files.

Tests: skill-audit 45 to 65, agent-audit 24 to 43, every new case proven by mutation.

dac9cad912 refactor(kyberforge): move audit guidance out of the per-run rubric load
skill-audit loaded roughly 4,268 words of rubric on every run, most of it
criteria for findings a clean skill never triggers. The auditing guidance moves
into finding-criteria.md, read only when a finding is actually raised, cutting
a clean audit to about 999 words. The named-skill exemption is replaced with
properties, so the rubric stops carrying a list that ages the moment a skill
is renamed.

apm-workflow's `type:` trap sat in one flow while biting several, so it is
promoted to a common gate reachable from all of them; its claim to be
self-contained was untrue once it started routing to apm-install. skill-author's
contract had drifted from body-discipline.md and is realigned, and agent-audit's
field inventory is brought in line with the same split.

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.

311e7cd22c fix(kyberforge): reconcile the authoring rules the ADR-0020 trim left disagreeing
Six defects, each one a place where two files that an author reads in the same
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.

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.

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.

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.
