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

ADR: 0017
Claude Code's (and Copilot's) native plugin installer has zero awareness of
.apm/ nesting -- it convention-scans only flat skills/, agents/, commands/,
hooks.json at each plugin's root. Confirmed via strings on the installed
claude binary and live installs of git@holocron/gitea@holocron/kyberforge@
holocron, all reporting Skills(0) Agents(0) Hooks(0) post ADR-0015's apm
conversion. Root cause (apm_cli/core/plugin_manifest.py): apm's plugin.json
compiler deliberately strips skills/agents/commands keys, assuming the host
already auto-discovers those convention directories -- it has no model of
.apm/ being host-visible at all. Separately, apm's own bundle exporter
(apm_cli/bundle/plugin_exporter.py, behind `apm pack --format plugin`)
implements the correct .apm/ -> flat mapping, but only ever targeted
build/<name>-<version>/, a path nothing in marketplace.json's source: points
at.
scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh wraps that bundle exporter and copies its
agents/, skills/, commands/, instructions/, extensions/, and merged
hooks.json back into each plugin's own root as a second tracked
compiled-output category -- same governance status as
.claude-plugin/plugin.json: generated from .apm/, never hand-edited. tests/
subdirectories are excluded from the mirror (dev fixtures, not host-visible
runtime content; several hardcode a relative repo-root walk-up sized for the
.apm/-nested depth, which breaks when duplicated one level shallower).
Applied for real across all 6 plugins and verified two ways: `claude plugin
validate --strict` passes on every real plugin directory, and a live
`claude --plugin-dir <path> -p "list skills/agents"` behavioral test
confirms content is now actually discovered.
Also, from the same issue #90 review round:
- scripts/check-manifests.sh pointed at each plugin's root-level plugin.json
(checking skills/hooks/mcpServers/agents pointer fields) -- that file was a
stale near-duplicate of .claude-plugin/plugin.json nothing else read or
wrote, now deleted across all 6 plugins. check-manifests.sh is rewritten to
validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json instead, and drops the pointer-field
checks entirely (nothing to check -- those fields are correctly absent by
design). Content-presence drift is now check-plugin-content-sync's job, a
new pre-push hook wired in .pre-commit-config.yaml.
docs/adr/0017 records the root cause and decision in full, including two
rejected alternatives (patching plugin.json's path fields directly -- apm's
compiler strips them on every run; pointing marketplace.json at apm pack's
build/ output -- a version-suffixed non-source directory nothing can install
from without an extra build step). ADR-0015 and CONTEXT.md are updated to
point at it.
