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.

062ca47a18 docs: correct claims left stale by today's apm-only commits
A five-agent review of today's seven commits found no executable
regressions and no dangling references, but a set of documents still
asserting, in present tense, machinery that ADR-0024 and its commits
removed. This corrects them in place, keeping the original text as the
historical record wherever the repo's amendment convention applies.

LESSONS.md: the 2026-06-21 entry prescribed a `claude plugin validate`
sweep that now fails on every plugin, so it is marked superseded with
the surviving gates named. The 2026-08-09 entry gained a recurrence
note: today's manifest deletion broke apm's MCP propagation exactly as
that lesson describes, and its prescribed repo-local grep could not
have caught it, because `plugin_parser.py` ships in the apm toolchain
installed outside this repository.

ADR-0019, ADR-0011 and ADR-0021: amendments extended to passages the
earlier correction passes stepped over -- a dead native-consumer guard,
Consequences bullets still calling for a `plugins/gitea/.mcp.json` that
must not be recreated, and a drift-gate list naming a deleted script.
ADR-0021's list is down to one gate, not two: `apm audit --ci` never
read `description` and was never a drift gate.

architecture.md and enrichments.md: the self-containment constraint is
restated on its live source, the agentskills.io APM package-mode spec,
rather than on Claude Code's plugin cache-install, which ADR-0024
consequence 6 pins as a superseded rationale. releasing.md's pointer to
the deleted sync script is rewritten as history.

tests/run-bats.sh and scripts/lib/batch-run.sh: comment-only. The
`.claude/skills/` exclusion comment claimed a duplication that is not
live yet; apm does not strip `tests/`, and the deployed tree is empty
of them only because the lockfile still resolves the six dependencies
to a pre-ADR-0024 commit carrying the flat mirror. The exclusion is
correct but forward-looking, and now says so.

SIMPLIFICATION-AUDIT.md: reconciled against what the commits actually
did. Two closed findings recorded conclusions that ADR-0024 reversed
hours later; findings 1, 3, 31 and 35 carried prescriptions voided the
same day; finding 28 is now recorded as having moved backwards, with
docs/adr/ measured at +336 lines over the day. The section 1 headline
table is re-measured at a6434e0 and labelled with its basis. The
ADR-0012 contradiction between finding 2b and section 8 is resolved in
2b's favour after reading the ADR: only finding 24 is governed by it.

c96ca9ca0d fix: remove the obsidian MCP server and the unreadable .mcp.json files
718c79a deleted every per-plugin .claude-plugin/plugin.json, which
reclassified each package from a marketplace plugin to a plain apm
package. That silently broke MCP propagation: apm_cli/deps/plugin_parser.py
maps a plugin-root .mcp.json into .apm/.mcp.json, and that code path runs
only for marketplace plugins. With no manifest, apm never reads the file.

Reproduced on ref-pinned consumer clones: at the parent commit a consumer
receives the obsidian server, at HEAD it receives none, and on upgrade apm
prints "Removed stale MCP server 'obsidian' from .mcp.json". This repo
consumes its own plugins through apm (ADR-0018), so the tracked root
.mcp.json would have been rewritten to an empty server map on the next
lock re-resolve -- silent tool loss plus unexplained working-tree drift.

The server is removed entirely rather than relocated to .apm/. It was
already a standing question (SIMPLIFICATION-AUDIT finding 37, deferred on
2026-09-13 pending confirmation, now confirmed), and plugins/bin/apm.yml
declares dependencies.mcp: [] -- apm's supported mechanism was never used.
All seven .mcp.json files go; the root one is apm-generated output and is
now gitignored alongside the other install artifacts.

ADR-0011's deferred ".mcp.json wiring gap" is moot twice over -- the
install route it blocked no longer exists and neither does the file --
and ADR-0018 records why it lost its only worked example of MCP
propagation. apm.lock.yaml still carries the server; it clears on the
first apm update after this reaches the default branch.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

a622200868 docs(pc-skills): trim generic pre-commit boilerplate (finding 38)
Collapse the per-language hook tables in pc-author's hooks-by-language.md
into one shared-repo table plus an "other repos" table, dropping the
repeated repo/rev/rationale text that just restated what each hook does.
128 -> 92 lines. Kept both "Unverified — not in research corpus" flags
and the rev-freshness caveat.

Remove the generic SSH/proxy CI failure sections, the shellcheck SC-code
listing, and compress the generic validate-config schema-error bullets
in pc-run's failure-patterns.md, all of which just restated
pre-commit.com's own docs. 133 -> 109 lines. Kept the rtk-prefixed
re-stage/recommit fix (ADR-0023), the "do NOT reach for
`pre-commit install -f`" warning, and both gitleaks/shellcheck
not-sourced-from-corpus notes.

Combined cut: 60 lines. Flat mirrors regenerated via
scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh and verified byte-identical
(--check exits 0); no plugin.json drift.

f11b645 and bde9f7f swept check-manifests and skill-frontmatter
references left over from e647f14 and c8a7c9e, but missed two worked
examples in this vendored pre-commit research doc: a "Validate a
generated file" hook naming the deleted scripts/check-manifests.sh,
and a "SKILL.md frontmatter validation (inline bash, as used in this
repo)" example for the skill-frontmatter hook, folded into
skill-size-check.sh in c8a7c9e.

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.

6cfc3577e2 docs: trim repeated boilerplate in git, gitea, and bin skills
Finding 13: five blocks of near-identical wording were repeated across
skills within a plugin — the gitea "resolve owner and repo" step (5
skills), the 404-masks-403 note (6 files), the manual pagination
explanation (8 files), the git plugin's main/master force-push refusal
(7 files, some with multiple internal restatements), and the bin
skills' domain-glossary/ADR paragraph (5 skills). Tightened each
instance in place — same meaning, fewer words — rather than extracting
to a shared file, which ADR-0014's one-file-per-skill install
constraint rules out. Left the three git skills' structured-result
JSON shapes alone (coupled to the separate, out-of-scope git-orchestrate
merge candidate, finding 19).

f5e4d0d082 docs(git): delete unused git plugin config file and its read steps
Finding 21: `config.example.json` (and the never-tracked
`.claude/plugins/git/config.json` it documented) was read by
git-orchestrate and git-branches but written by nothing, and the
default-inference fallback (GitHub Flow, with Gitflow inferred from a
`develop`/`release/*` branch) already covered the no-config case.
Removed the config-read step from both, updated git-workflow's
description of the orchestrator to match, dropped the now-dangling
`applied_config` field from git-orchestrate's output shape, and
deleted the config file and its stale example reference in
docs/spec/architecture.md.

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.

4f49b2a249 refactor(bin): move non-spec root files into references/ across four skills
grill-with-docs, improve-codebase-architecture, tdd, and triage kept
non-spec markdown files at their skill root, in violation of
skill-audit's file-structure.md rule (only SKILL.md/README.md belong
at the root; everything else lives in scripts/, references/, assets/
or tests/). A root-level file is invisible to the ADR-0020
dangling-reference gate, which only resolves unqualified
`references/...` pointers.

- Moved and renamed to lowercase-kebab-case under references/:
  grill-with-docs (ADR-FORMAT.md, CONTEXT-FORMAT.md),
  improve-codebase-architecture (DEEPENING.md, INTERFACE-DESIGN.md,
  LANGUAGE.md), tdd (five files, casing was already fine), triage
  (AGENT-BRIEF.md, OUT-OF-SCOPE.md).
- Updated every in-skill link to the new references/ paths, including
  link text that still showed the old uppercase filenames.
- Fixed improve-codebase-architecture/SKILL.md's cross-skill citation
  of grill-with-docs's two files to the sanctioned possessive form
  with the references/ segment included.
- Updated all four skills' README.md file tables to match.
- Regenerated the flat content mirror via
  scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh --all.

Fixes #122.

0f2bb242ad chore(plugins): sync generated content mirrors
Regenerates `plugins/*/skills`, `plugins/*/agents`, both per-plugin `plugin.json` manifests and the
two marketplace mirrors from `.apm/` per ADR-0017, via `scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh --all`.

The manifests matter beyond tidiness here: `plugin.json` carries the plugin version and wins over
the marketplace entry at install time (calculatePluginVersion precedence). Until this ran, the patch
bumps in the preceding commit were inert for anyone installing these plugins.

a3e721e937 docs: retire the META.md guidance ADR-0022 overruled, bump touched plugins
Why: ADR-0022 made `metadata.version` mandatory in SKILL.md frontmatter, but three documents still
instructed the opposite — that `version:`, `source:`, `references:` and `when:` belong in a separate
META.md. That recommendation was never implemented: META.md exists exactly once in this repo, inside
a vendored third-party research example, and all 39 skills now contradict it. A stale instruction
that outranks nothing is worse than no instruction, because an author following it undoes the ADR.

Implementation notes:
- Two LESSONS.md entries deleted outright — their entire payload was the rejected fix. Two kept and
  rewritten: the copy-fill entry loses only its META-TEMPLATE clause, and the `model:` entry keeps
  the provider-extension fact and the invocation-time boundary rule, which stand on their own.
- One factual error corrected in passing: the `extracted` slug entry claimed provenance is recorded
  in META.md. It lives in `references/sources.md` keyed by `source_keys:`, verified against
  validate-provenance.sh.
- Both docs/notes files gain `metadata.version` in their required-field lists. Deleting the stale
  paragraph while leaving those lists silent would have re-created the gap.
- `bin/write-docs` carried `metadata.version: "1.0"` — the only non-semver value in the corpus, and
  the result of relocating its old top-level `version:` without normalising it. Now `1.0.0`.
  ADR-0022 records the relocation it previously omitted, which issue #127 had asked it to decide.

Impact: patch bumps for the four plugins whose `.apm/` content changed — bin, git, gitea,
kyberforge. core and lint are untouched and stay put. Root apm.yml's `executables.allow` key and
marketplace package versions move in lockstep; the marketplace release version is unchanged.

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.

ed8c99efbd fix(git): stop prefixing rtk where it rewrites the output skills parse
The #113 sweep rested on CLAUDE.md's premise that rtk either filters or passes through unchanged,
so prefixing is always safe. Measured against rtk 0.42.4, that premise is false for several of the
commands the sweep prefixed, and two skills were left giving wrong answers silently.

Why:
- `rtk git worktree list --porcelain -z` discards both flags and renders its own format. The
  `locked`/`lock_reason` fields git-worktrees Step 2 must emit are absent entirely, and paths under
  $HOME are abbreviated to `~/`.
- `rtk git branch --list <name>` prints a phantom `* ` line even when nothing matches, so
  git-branches' stated ambiguity test — "output from both means the name is ambiguous" — reported
  every name as ambiguous. `tag --list` is a clean passthrough, so only one half broke.
- `rtk git diff --name-only`/`--name-status` append a `Changes:` trailer to output documented as
  "one per line"; `--word-diff` emits none of the `[-removed-] {+added+}` markers its table
  describes; `rtk git log -L` truncates each line at ~72 chars, on the one command whose purpose is
  showing line content.
- `rtk git stash pop` prints only `FAILED: git stash pop`, swallowing the conflict diagnostic and
  retained-entry message the surrounding prose tells the agent to rely on.

Implementation notes:
- Eleven sites reverted to bare `git`, each carrying its reason inline so the next sweep does not
  undo it. `mergetool` and `rebase -i` are reverted on clause 3's interactive limb only: the TTY
  defect does not reproduce — rtk filters exactly twelve subcommands and execs the rest — and
  ADR-0023 records that measurement rather than a convenient one.
- ADR-0023 states the rule repo-wide with a third clause: a command whose output the skill parses,
  or which is interactive, stays bare. `plugins/git/README.md` is reduced to a pointer; its claim
  that gitea skills "contain no git/rtk mentions at all" was false, and its citation of
  `hard-rules.md` pointed at a file containing no occurrence of "rtk".
- Eight gitea sites swept, all verified byte-identical passthroughs first.
- `scripts/check-rtk-prefix.sh` gates clause 1. Run against main's pre-sweep corpus it reports 99
  findings including every gitea site, so it would have caught the drift #113 was filed about.

Impact: the gate covers clause 1 only, in shell-tagged fences and the opening span of Run cells.
Clause 2 is not gateable — "Run `git switch`" and "`git switch` refuses" are the same tokens — and
prose bullets are invisible to it. Both limits are recorded in gates.md rather than left implied.

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).

2c6ce438b6 refactor(git): normalize rtk-prefix usage, add metadata.version
Two bundled fixes across the same nine skills, since both touch the
same files.

Issue #113: skill prose used rtk git and bare git inconsistently for
the same operations, with no stated rule for which applied where.
Executable instructed commands (a dispatch-table "Run" cell, a fenced
code-block procedure, an imperative step) now consistently use rtk
git; illustrative or referential mentions -- naming a flag's behavior,
quoting a doc heading, warning against an anti-pattern -- stay bare
git. Documented in the new plugins/git/README.md, scoped to this
plugin only: gitea-* skills talk to the server over MCP tools and
carry no git/rtk mentions at all.

Also the git-plugin slice of #127: metadata.version added to the
eight skills that lacked it. git-commits already had one and is
untouched.

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
conflated two unrelated contracts under one trigger.

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`.

967d3ade25 fix(gitea): document the remaining create/update parameter asymmetries
Follow-up to the review of #106, which found four parameter claims the
first pass left wrong or missing. All four verified against gitea-mcp
v1.6.0 source before changing anything.

`remove_deadline` is dropped on "create" like the others, but the new
Gotcha enumerated a closed list that omitted it — so the paragraph
contradicted its own opening sentence. The list is now open ("including")
and the parameter carries the same "update" only marker as its neighbours.

`base` is settable on "update": editPullRequestFn reads it and retargets
the PR onto a different base branch. The file documented it as required
for "create" and said nothing else, hiding a real capability. This one is
under-claiming rather than over-claiming, but a file whose subject is
which parameter applies to which method is the place to fix it.

applyDraftPrefix strips two prefixes, `WIP:` and `[WIP]`, matched with
strings.EqualFold, while only "WIP: " is ever added. The un-draft
correction said "the prefix" singular, which understates what a caller
can hand it.

README.md bundled `reviewers` and `milestone` into "creating and
updating". Capability prose rather than a parameter contract, so not
strictly false, but it is the same conflation that produced the original
bug and it is not behind any gate.

Not addressed here: SKILL.md's description still advertises updating
reviewers, its draft guidance still prescribes the manual workaround, and
its milestone-resolution instruction carries no method qualifier — so an
agent working from SKILL.md alone can still reach the failure mode. Those
edits trip skill-size-check and the Vale prefilter, pulling in the
ADR-0020 retrofit; tracked on #99 rather than done silently here.

4c9d2d7751 fix(gitea): correct which pull_request_write params apply on create
The gitea-prs reference documented `milestone` as "settable on both
"create" and "update"". It is not: `pull_request_write method: "create"`
accepts the parameter, returns no error or warning, and discards it.

Verified against the gitea-mcp v1.6.0 source rather than by observation
alone. `createPullRequestFn` builds its `CreatePullRequestOption` from
owner, repo, title, body, head, base, draft, labels and deadline only —
so the drop is not limited to `milestone` as issue #104 supposed.
`assignee`, `assignees`, `reviewers` and `team_reviewers` are discarded
on create too, and `reviewers`/`team_reviewers` are discarded on
"update" as well; they are only ever read by "add_reviewers" and
"remove_reviewers".

Two properties made the original error easy to make and hard to catch,
so both are now written down next to the correction: `labels` sits
beside `milestone`, reads identically, and does apply on create; and
`issue_write method: "create"` honours `assignees` and `milestone`, so
the asymmetry is specific to pull requests.

While in the file, corrected the adjacent draft gotcha. It prescribed
reconstructing the un-prefixed title by hand to un-draft a PR;
`applyDraftPrefix` shows "update" with `draft: false` and no `title`
fetches the stored title and strips the prefix server-side.

Impact: documentation only, no behaviour change. Callers following the
old text silently created PRs with no milestone, assignee or reviewer.
Confined to references/pull-requests.md, so the ADR-0020 skill gates do
not apply and gitea-prs needs no #99 retrofit first.

Why: enumerating a plugin's skills in its published description has now failed
three times in four days, the third time inside the correction for the second.

bb9158d (Aug 14) fixed core's description, which described bin's skills. That
failure was wrong content, not an incomplete list -- a syntactically perfect
four-item enumeration that belonged to a different plugin -- so enumerating
harder could not have caught it, and bb9158d's own fix replaced the enumeration
with a domain boundary. 65bac15 and de84d1b then cited that precedent while
doing the opposite, and the re-enumeration is itself incomplete: caveman and
zoom-out are unnamed in bin, git-workflow is unnamed in git despite 65bac15's
message claiming it was added, and gitea-workflow is unnamed in gitea. 23 of 27
skills named at the third attempt.

Nothing checks any of this. check-manifests.sh does not contain the string
"description"; apm audit --ci, apm pack --check-clean and
sync-plugin-content.sh --check all compare compiled output against apm.yml, so
their job is to propagate whatever it says byte-for-byte. The wiki claim passed
all fourteen pre-push hooks every day it was published. Enumeration also makes a
marketplace release the consequence of a directory appearing.

Implementation notes:
- ADR-0021 records the decision, the three failures, and why no gate is added:
  the check is one-directional, cannot see an invented capability, and a
  correspondence map would relocate the same per-skill maintenance one file over.
- bin 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5, git 1.3.4 -> 1.3.5, gitea 1.3.5 -> 1.3.6,
  marketplace.version 0.4.4 -> 0.4.5, all PATCH under per_package.
- apm.yml's top-level version: is restored to lockstep at 0.4.5. It has moved
  with marketplace.version in all eleven commits that ever touched the file
  until this branch left it at 0.4.2, and apm.yml's own comment records it as
  live and consumed by apm audit.
- git's boundary names the pre-commit hooks explicitly: pc-author and pc-run are
  not git operations, and a boundary drawn narrower than the contents is the
  same defect one level up.
- Regenerated with apm pack for the marketplace manifests and
  sync-plugin-content.sh --all for the per-plugin ones; both mirrors verified
  byte-identical.

Impact: consumer-facing. 16/16 pre-push hooks pass, suite green, generated diff
is 26 insertions and 26 deletions across 8 files with no incidental churn.

de84d1b677 chore(apm): give bin a published description that describes it
Why: bin's marketplace description read "A place for things to be binned" — a
routing boundary sitting in the enumeration slot, phrased as a joke. It is what
a consumer sees in the marketplace listing for a plugin shipping eleven
substantive skills: research, write-docs, tdd, prototype, triage, diagnose,
improve-codebase-architecture, grill-me, grill-with-docs, zoom-out and caveman.

This is the same category error b0ef503 fixed for git and gitea, and the same
text bb9158d moved out of core's description in August — "triage, diagnosis,
architecture review" left core precisely because those skills live in bin, so
bin is where it should have landed.

Implementation notes: bin 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4, marketplace 0.4.3 -> 0.4.4, PATCH for
metadata under the per_package strategy. README's bin line mirrors the new
description. architecture.md's routing boundary is deliberately left as
"unsorted skills that have not earned a home yet" — that is still true, and it
answers a different question than the listing does.

Impact: consumer-facing. apm-pack-check-clean, check-plugin-content-sync,
check-marketplace-mirror-sync, validate-marketplace, validate-plugins and
apm-audit-ci all pass.

65bac15257 chore(apm): correct git and gitea published descriptions and regenerate
Why: both plugins' published descriptions named capabilities that do not exist
and omitted ones that do. `gitea` advertised wikis — no wiki skill exists and
`grep -ri wiki plugins/gitea/.apm/` is empty — while omitting gitea-branches and
gitea-files. `git` advertised pull requests, which are gitea's, while omitting
pc-author/pc-run, git-submodules and git-workflow. These are compiled into
plugin.json and both marketplace.json files, so they are published metadata, not
internal notes.

This is the same defect bb9158d fixed on `core` in August, so the fix follows
that precedent exactly: correct the package apm.yml and the root marketplace
entry together — fixing only the package manifest leaves it half-propagated,
since the root entry is what reaches the compiled marketplace.

Implementation notes:
- git 1.3.3 -> 1.3.4, gitea 1.3.4 -> 1.3.5, marketplace 0.4.2 -> 0.4.3, all
  PATCH for metadata under the per_package strategy at apm.yml:76.
- Regenerated with `apm pack` for the two marketplace manifests and
  `scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh --all` for the four per-plugin plugin.json
  files; `apm pack` alone does not touch those. `scripts/sync-marketplace-mirror.sh`
  refreshed the Copilot legacy mirror, which no apm profile targets.
- README's gitea line mirrors the new published description. The routing
  boundaries in architecture.md deliberately do not, since they answer a
  different question.

Impact: consumer-facing. Anyone reading the marketplace now sees what these
plugins ship. apm-pack-check-clean, check-plugin-content-sync,
check-marketplace-mirror-sync, validate-marketplace and apm-audit-ci all pass.

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.

e7ebc667b3 chore(release): kyberforge 1.6.0, marketplace 0.4.2
The four preceding commits change `plugins/kyberforge/.apm/` content that reaches
the compiled artifacts — three validators, a new reference file in each of
`skill-audit` and `skill-author`, and the authoring rules across both author
skills — so per `apm-workflow`'s configure policy the package earns a bump, minor
for the new capability.

Root `apm.yml`'s `executables.allow` key moves with it, in this commit and not a
later one. apm approves a package's `hooks/` and `bin/` by an exact
`<name>#<version>` dictionary lookup with no wildcard and no version-less form, so
a `kyberforge#1.5.0` key left behind a 1.6.0 package errors nowhere: the entry
stops matching, the `SessionStart` freshness hook stops deploying, and the install
goes quietly stale. That is the failure ADR-0019 records as having actually
happened, and `check-executables-allow-sync` exists to catch it.

The catalog bump was missing from the working tree and is added here.
`apm-workflow`'s marketplace policy is explicit that an existing entry's
`version:` moving earns the catalog a **patch** — the set of packages is
unchanged, only its metadata moved — and that the root `version:` stays in step
with `marketplace.version`, since apm audit reads one and the compiled manifest
carries the other. Nothing enforces this: `apm pack --check-clean` catches a bump
made in `apm.yml` but never re-packed, while a bump never made at all fails
nothing.

Manifests regenerated with `apm pack` plus `scripts/sync-marketplace-mirror.sh`
for `.github/plugin/marketplace.json`, which no apm output profile targets.
`.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` is unchanged — the codex profile's shape
carries no version field for either the catalog or its entries.

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.

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.

36ba7a18f8 fix(lint): drop the stale hooks/hooks.json from the content mirror
plugins/lint/hooks/hooks.json was no longer produced from .apm/hooks/,
so check-plugin-content-sync failed on it at HEAD:

  DRIFT plugins/lint/hooks/hooks.json: stale, no longer produced from .apm/hooks/

Surfaced by running sync-plugin-content.sh --all during unrelated work.
Unrelated to ADR-0020; committed separately so the contract change stays
reviewable on its own.

Per ADR-0017's 2026-08-14 amendment, a hooks.json a sync no longer
generates is deleted as stale.

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.

2e395a4efa chore(apm): sync deployed install after apm update
Deploys kyberforge's SessionStart apm-currency hook into
.claude/settings.json (ADR-0019), bumps bin 1.1.2->1.1.3 and
kyberforge 1.4.1->1.5.0 in apm.lock.yaml with new exec_status
fields, and removes lint's now-empty .apm/hooks/ source dir
(the generated hooks/hooks.json mirror is untouched).

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.

b4f5881973 build(apm): pin the obsidian MCP server and release bin 1.1.3
plugins/bin/.mcp.json declared the obsidian server as
`npx @bitbonsai/mcpvault@latest`, so an unpinned third-party npm package
was fetched and executed at every session start. The apm-consumed install
promoted that string to committed repo-root content in .mcp.json, giving
every clone the same unpinned execution. Pinned to 0.15.0, the version
`latest` currently resolves to.

bin 1.1.2 -> 1.1.3 and marketplace 0.4.0 -> 0.4.1, following the mapping
bb9158d establishes and 3bfdf58 confirms: the marketplace takes the same
bump severity as the highest-severity package bump. kyberforge is not
bumped here, so executables.allow's `kyberforge#1.5.0` key is untouched.

The pin is not live for this working copy until this lands on the remote
and `apm update` re-resolves — apm.lock.yaml still records 1.1.2 and
`@latest`, because the six dependencies resolve from the remote rather
than from the tree beside them. Correct for a fresh clone immediately.

.gitignore gains /.claude-plugin/plugin.json: a bare `apm pack` emits a
root-package manifest there that has never been tracked on any branch.
Scoped to the file, since the sibling marketplace.json is compiled output
that is committed.

3bfdf58960 chore(release): kyberforge 1.5.0, marketplace 0.4.0
Why
---
The SessionStart freshness hook is a new kyberforge feature and was committed
without a version bump. It also cannot ship unbumped: apm's executable-trust
allow key is version-pinned, so `kyberforge#1.4.1` would have stopped matching
the moment the package version moved, silently blocking the very hook the entry
exists to authorise.

Implementation notes
-----------------
kyberforge 1.4.1 -> 1.5.0 (MINOR, new feature); marketplace and root manifest
0.3.4 -> 0.4.0, following the convention in bb9158d where a package bump carries
the marketplace version with it. The executables.allow key moves to
kyberforge#1.5.0 in the same commit. Compiled manifests regenerated with
`apm pack` plus both sync scripts.

A bare `apm pack` also writes build/ and a root .claude-plugin/plugin.json,
neither of which is repo content — the pre-push gate only ever runs pack with
--dry-run, so they had not appeared before. Both removed; build/ is now
gitignored so a future release does not stage it by accident.

Impact
------
Consumers pinning kyberforge see a MINOR bump. All 15 pre-push hooks pass,
including apm pack --check-clean, so compiled output matches the manifests.

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.

Output of scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh --all against this round's .apm/

No compiled manifest changed: nothing in this round touched apm.yml, so apm

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.
