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.

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.

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.

5e232503c4 feat(kyberforge): execute plugin-to-apm marketplace conversion
Why:
ADR-0015 established that Microsoft APM (apm.yml + .apm/) should replace
this repo's hand-authored plugin.json/marketplace.json model, with those
files becoming compiled output of `apm pack` instead of files edited by
hand via the (now-retired) plugin-author/marketplace-author skills.
Issue #90 was the deferred execution of that decision, gated on #88
(apm tooling) and #89 (apm-native agent-author/skill-author routing).

Implementation notes:
- All six plugins (bin, core, git, gitea, kyberforge, lint) now carry
  apm.yml + .apm/{skills,agents,hooks} as their authoring source. Skills
  moved with a plain git mv (content-identical across targets). Agents
  were re-authored, not moved: per ADR-0016, .apm/agents/*.agent.md
  compiles verbatim to both Claude and Copilot, so plugin-scope agents
  now carry only name/description/model/source_keys -- no tools: field,
  no Claude-only knobs (isolation, maxTurns, effort, memory,
  permissionMode).
- Root apm.yml registers all 7 marketplace packages (6 local plus
  mattpocock-skills as a remote entry) under versioning: per_package,
  matching this repo's existing independent-plugin-versioning practice.
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and every plugin's plugin.json are now
  apm-pack-compiled output, verified against the prior hand-maintained
  content: same names/descriptions/versions/licenses/authors, only
  cosmetic serialization differences (JSON key order, owner email vs.
  url, Unicode escaping).
- plugin-author and marketplace-author are retired now that apm-based
  authoring fully replaces their job; kyberforge bumped 1.3.1 -> 1.4.0
  for that removal, and the root marketplace catalog bumped
  0.3.1 -> 0.3.2 to match, per the version-bump convention now
  documented in apm-workflow's reference docs instead of a dedicated
  script (apm has no native version-bump automation).
- Fixed hardcoded pre-.apm/ path assumptions across
  .pre-commit-config.yaml, .pre-commit-hooks.yaml,
  scripts/check-scope-walkup-sync.sh, scripts/sync-vale-styles.sh,
  scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh, six plugins' root plugin.json
  (stale skills/hooks/agents pointer fields that check-manifests.sh
  validates), and several tests/*.bats and tests/*.sh fixtures --
  including a bats REPO_ROOT relative-path depth bug (10 files, one
  extra .apm/ directory level to walk up) and a vale probe-path
  isolation regression introduced mid-fix.
- Corrected empirically-wrong assumptions surfaced this session in
  apm-workflow/apm-install's own reference docs: `apm marketplace
  package add` does not accept local paths (only owner/repo remote
  shorthand -- local packages are registered by editing apm.yml's
  marketplace.packages[] directly); `apm compile` is a consumer-side
  AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md generator, not the plugin.json producer, and
  hard-fails on skill/agent-only packages without --clean; `apm plugin
  init <name>` nests a stray subdirectory when run with a positional
  name arg from inside a same-named directory; no native Copilot
  marketplace output profile exists; .mcp.json is merged into the
  compiled plugin.json content-aware and target-scoped, with no
  dependencies.mcp entry needed for simple passthrough; pipx is the
  correct pip fallback on externally-managed Python environments.
- Renamed agent-author's copilot.agent.md template asset to
  copilot.agent.md.template so apm compile's recursive *.agent.md glob
  stops misparsing the placeholder template as a real agent primitive.

Impact:
plugin.json and marketplace.json are compiled artifacts from here on --
editing them by hand is no longer the workflow; edit apm.yml/.apm/ and
run apm pack. CONTEXT.md's Plugin/Plugin marketplace glossary entries
reflect this. ADR-0001 is marked superseded, ADR-0006 moot, and
ADR-0010 updated for the new .apm/agents/ path (project/user scope
unaffected, per ADR-0016). Full local verification: claude plugin
validate --strict on all 6 plugins, apm audit --ci, apm marketplace
check, check-manifests.sh, and the full test suite (165/165 bats,
13/13 shell scripts) all pass clean.
