c5f754d3ad fix(gates): check body-level routing targets, not just descriptions 
The ADR-0020 boundary resolver (boundary_targets()/unresolved_targets())
only ever read a SKILL.md's description. A target named in the BODY -- a
dispatch table row, a "run X" step, both routine in a 900-word procedure
-- was checked by nothing. Two real instances shipped before either was
caught by reading rather than by a gate: bin/write-docs routed twice to a
deleted `to-prd` skill, and bin/triage told an agent to run a nonexistent
`/setup-matt-pocock-skills` (both fixed in 03abcff; that fix was the
symptom, this gate is the actual ask per #124).

Added a separate, narrower extractor -- body_targets() /
unresolved_body_targets() in the shared lib-boundary-resolver.sh -- rather
than reusing the description resolver at wider scope. The description
gate's sentence-level heuristics (BOUNDARY_MARKER, the follower test,
in-sentence corroboration) are tuned for a one-to-three-sentence routing
clause and misfire on dispatch-table/procedure prose in both directions,
so the body gate reads only explicit route notation (`/name`,
backticked-or-slash-prefixed `-> name` / `-> name`), already the
description gate's own unconditionally-blocking tier.

Three guards were added after running the extractor over the real
39-skill corpus and reading every hit rather than assuming the design was
correct:

- a target must be hyphenated, even in notation -- single-word citations
  like `/fork` (forge, citing Claude Code's own /fork command) and
  `/name` (skill-author, a placeholder) are not routes.
- a bare hyphenated word after any arrow is not notation -- only
  ARROW_MARKED (backticked/slash-prefixed) is used, not NOTATION_ARROW's
  bare form, so ordinary process-chain prose ("prop -> new ref ->
  re-render", caveman) is not read as a route.
- a name immediately preceded by `<` is a closing tag
  (`</what-to-do>`, grill-with-docs), not /name notation.

Wired into both consumers that must agree by contract: scripts/
skill-size-check.sh (the pre-commit hook) and factory-audit's
lib-checks-skill.sh (the audit). Verified identical findings across both
over the whole corpus.

tests/test-adr0020-targets.sh gains a dedicated section pinning the two
live true positives and all three guards. docs/spec/gates.md and
ADR-0020 get a matching amendment.

Fixes: #124
ADR: 0020

44bde9e9c9 docs(adr): correct the records the branch left describing deleted things 
Seven ADRs described code that no longer exists or behaviour the gates do
not have. Where the wrong text came from main it carries a dated
correction; where this branch introduced it, it is fixed in place, because
main never published it and there is no record to preserve.

Fixed in place, branch-introduced:

- ADR-0021's 2026-09-14 correction asserted apm audit --ci "was never a
  drift gate at all". It is one: it replays the install and diffs. The
  claim contradicted this branch's own AGENTS.md and gates.md.
- ADR-0015 said unconditionally that no pre-push hook needs the network.
  The guarantee holds only once apm install has populated apm_modules/.
- ADR-0014's 2026-09-16 correction said restoring .pre-commit-hooks.yaml
  would ship a hook that fails for every consumer, because their checkout
  has no lib-boundary-resolver.sh. pre-commit clones the whole hook repo
  and skill-size-check.sh resolves the library from BASH_SOURCE, so the
  hook would work.
- ADR-0019's "twelve hooks pass under unshare -rn" matched neither HEAD
  (8) nor main (14), and stated the offline guarantee unconditionally.

Corrected, inherited from main:

- ADR-0022 and ADR-0013 named skill-frontmatter's pre-commit hook as the
  enforcer of mandatory metadata.version. That hook was deleted on this
  branch; the check lives in skill-size-check.sh.
- ADR-0022 enumerated the tip rule's carve-outs as a closed list and
  described a single merge-base. The gate also exempts a tree-identical
  skill and intersects every base from merge-base --all, and emits a third
  failure form. 8cfd54f said the documented behaviour did not change; it
  did. The gate is correct and is unchanged -- the record was not.
- ADR-0020's Decision still routed description overflow to README.md, its
  ADR-0025 amendment pointed the mirrored constants at validate.sh, which
  holds none, and its Enforcement table still named the two deleted
  validate.sh paths.
- ADR-0015's Status claimed every plugin's plugin.json is pack output;
  none exist.

e62188c3c3 docs(adr): record the author-pair drift decision in ADR-0020 
The accepted ADR still called the skill-author/agent-author duplication
an open input to #101. The branch decided it: continued drift, no sync
gate, on the measured 150-180 line overlap. State that decision so the
ADR stops contradicting the PR that closes #101, and mark the old
skill-audit citation historical.

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

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

02d5774a99 docs: refute finding 15 on measurement 
Why: finding 15 proposed merging skill-author and agent-author on the
claim that they share most of contract.md and near-identical steps.
Measured, the pair shares about 150-180 distinct non-blank lines,
against the 2,934 the factory-audit merge removed. ADR-0020's exclusion
of the pair holds, so the merge does not proceed.

Implementation Notes: finding 15 is struck through and carries a dated
Refuted note with per-file counts and the command that reproduces them.
The §7 order and status notes and the §8 ADR-0012 bullet now show no
open finding, with 22 deferred with bin. ADR-0020's rejected
alternative records the measurement; ADR-0025 point 7 no longer calls
the finding open and unmeasured.

69119f4754 docs: reconcile the ADRs, gates and audit log with the shipped behaviour 
Why

A six-agent review of the two preceding commits found their code sound -- the
differential claim holds, the published hook contract is byte-unchanged -- but
their prose drifted from it in three ways: statements of fact the code
contradicts, markers in a convention this repo does not use, and figures that
went stale when the merge changed what they counted.

Implementation Notes

ADR-0025's edge-path table is rewritten around one stated doctrine: 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. Its old row 1 promised "one
generic matches-neither message" for three different inputs; there are three
distinct messages, and the missing-path case exited 1 until the preceding commit
fixed it. Rows are added for the preflight and CDPATH changes, because a table
claiming to enumerate every entry-point behaviour change reproduces its own
"an earlier revision of this ADR said they were behaviour-neutral" failure if it
omits any.

ADR-0025 also gains a Consequences supersession record in ADR-0016's form:
partially-superseded entries for 0008, 0014, 0020 and 0021, and explicit
"is not superseded" entries with reasoning for the rest. Twelve ADRs are amended
and it previously listed none.

ADR-0008 moves from an amendment note to partially superseded. Its contract
genuinely narrowed -- an agent .md outside an agents/ directory was audited
before the merge and is refused now -- and ADR-0020 already recorded that the
merge "reopens ADR-0008". Its detector description said "a path under
.apm/agents/", the phrasing ADR-0025 rejects as wider than the script and
circular; the shipped rule is a .md whose immediate parent is named agents/, at
any scope.

ADR-0020's amendment claimed the boundary resolver is sourced by
validate-provenance.sh. It is not, and never was; only validate.sh sources it,
once per mode branch. Three Home-column entries pointed at reference filenames
the merge renamed, one of which now resolves to two files because its row covers
skills and agents.

Five ADRs opened with "Skill renamed per ADR-0025", a form this repo does not
use, in the same commit that used the conventional "Amended by ADR-0025" twice.
They are normalized. "Renamed" was also wrong: the BREAKING-CHANGE trailer says
the skills were removed and their flows merged.

SIMPLIFICATION-AUDIT.md had 2026-09-15 notes attached to headlines that were
never updated, against its own convention of correcting in place with
strikethrough. Every figure here was re-derived at HEAD by command, and several
differed from the review's own numbers, so the notes record the basis rather
than the result alone.

LESSONS.md asserted the two review-time suite failures were the SIGPIPE race.
The commit that fixed that race explicitly declined to claim it -- the suite was
running while agents edited live config files -- so the hedge is restored.

Impact

No code, test or configuration change; documentation only. Suites stay 20/20
strict with 0 skipped and 374/374 bats. No gate parses ADR or gates.md content,
so nothing here is load-bearing for a hook.

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.

a6434e0cdb docs: amend ADR-0021 and close the loose ends ADR-0024 left behind 
A six-agent review of today's commits found three documentation defects
that the apm-only change left behind. All three are records that describe
deleted machinery in the present tense; no code or gate is affected.

ADR-0021 was the one ADR that ADR-0024 invalidates without carrying an
amendment note -- 0001, 0006, 0011, 0013, 0014, 0015, 0017, 0018 and 0019
all got one. Its Context section still compiles a plugin description into
four generated files and its Consequences section still names eight, but
718c79a deleted the per-plugin manifest pairs and 0dffff3 deleted the
.github/plugin/marketplace.json mirror. One target survives. The decision
itself is untouched: the note marks the counts historical rather than
rewriting them, since the staleness hazard that motivated the ADR is
exactly what shrinking the blast radius does not fix.

That note also lands the one ADR-0021 has promised since it was written:
its Context section said "see the note below" about the codex profile's
removal and no such note has ever existed in the file.

SIMPLIFICATION-AUDIT.md's section 8 still asked whether Copilot reads the
legacy mirror path. Finding 2c answered that at 11:35 and 0dffff3 acted on
it; two later passes over section 8 (d2480b8, 061bb3d) each checked off a
different question and stepped over this one. Closed with the answer that
already shipped: Copilot's discovery falls through to .claude-plugin/,
so what the deletion cost is discovery-order preference, not consumability.

ADR-0020 cited plugins/bin/skills/zoom-out/SKILL.md:4 as end-to-end
verification evidence. That path is mirror, deleted by ADR-0024. The .apm/
source and the deployed copy both still carry the flag and the pass-through
still holds, so the citation is narrowed to the two live paths rather than
the finding being withdrawn.

598a7c326a refactor(skills): retrofit the corpus to the ADR-0020 context contract (#129) 
Retrofits all 39 skills to ADR-0020's description/body context contract, then fixes what six rounds of independent review found in that retrofit — including four ways the hot gate itself failed open.

Closes #99, #107, #108, #110, #111, #114, #115, #120.

## The retrofit (waves 1-5)

| | Start | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Description FAILs (>400 chars) | 26 | **0** |
| Body FAILs (>900 words, body-only) | 9 | **0** |
| Dangling routing targets | 2 | **0** |
| `Kyberforge.CompositionNote` | 10 | **0** |
| Preload tax | 21,005 chars | **~10,500** |

Under the 12,000-char success criterion. Per-wave detail is on #99.

## The review fixes

**The gate failed open four ways, three of them found after the retrofit shipped.** An unrecognised follower token made a dangling target vanish. A skill directory with no `SKILL.md` resolved as a valid target, so a commit could be green locally and red in a fresh clone — three existing fixtures were relying on that, one of which made the install-leak A/B pass vacuously. Then the free-standing `/name` sweep turned out to be gated on the sentence carrying a boundary marker, so route notation in any other sentence was invisible — not an ERROR, not a SUGGESTION, not an INFO — which left the documented "`/name` always blocks" promise false from a second direction. All four fixed and pinned.

**Two checks were silently not running.** `validate-provenance.sh` checks 7-8 were dead across nine skills. Waking them exposed a deeper problem: they assume `Research doc:` names a source index, but 30 of 121 entries point at topic content documents, so every new check-7 INFO was a false positive and check 8 was saved from a false-FAIL flood only by an *unannounced* skip. Checks 7/8 are now scoped to source indexes and every skip announces itself (#121).

**The retrofit's own anti-goal, four times.** ADR-0020 warns that a blunt gate gets satisfied by deleting content rather than relocating it. `diagnose` and `skill-audit` relocated prose and then read it unconditionally; `prototype` and `vale-config` deleted rules outright that survived nowhere. All four addressed.

## Verification

- `bash tests/run-tests.sh --strict` — 24 suites, 0 skipped, 0 failed
- `bash tests/run-bats.sh` — 325 tests, 0 failures
- `pre-commit run --all-files` — 17/17
- `pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-push --all-files` — 16/16, with `apm marketplace check` and `apm pack --check-clean` run against the remote, not skipped
- `scripts/skill-size-check.sh` over all 39 skills — rc 0, 0 ERROR/FAIL, SUGGESTION-only
- Preload tax measured at **10,498 chars**, max description 390 — both inside budget
- Every new test proven non-vacuous by a deliberate mutation of the behaviour it covers

**Per-commit sync, stated accurately:** the ten commits from the latest review round each pass `check-plugin-content-sync` in isolation, verified by checking each out in a detached worktree with a clean between. The earlier gitea window (`dfacf05..bedbd1d`, nine commits) does **not** — its mirror was regenerated in one batch at `bbc7300`. An earlier revision of this description claimed the property held for every commit; it does not, and a bisect through that window lands on a red commit. **Squash-merge** to collapse it, or accept that this range is not bisectable.

## Version bump

Six plugins and the catalog take a **patch**, not a minor. The branch is **89 commits — 40 `fix` / 30 `refactor` / 12 `docs` / 5 `chore` / 2 `test` — zero `feat`, zero `!`, zero `BREAKING CHANGE`** — and adds no skill, agent, command or hook. (Two earlier revisions of this section cited a stale histogram, most recently 78 commits; the figures above are measured at HEAD.) Both rules this repo ships (`forge/references/version-bump.md`, landing in this PR, and `git-commits/references/conventional-commits-spec.md`) make that a patch, and the catalog set is unchanged at 7 entries.

Not settled by that: four published files were removed from the installed tree, three moved, and `caveman` gained `disable-model-invocation`, retiring its old triggers. Under a strict reading those are major-class and currently ship under `refactor:` with no marker. Whether the deployed skill surface is a public contract is written down nowhere — worth deciding, but it outlives this PR.

## Deliberately not in scope

#112 (cherry-pick ownership, now resolved in favour of `git-commits`), #113 (`rtk git` normalisation), #116 (research fan-out), #101 (audit-skill merge), #122 (non-spec skill-root files), #123 (no PRD producer) stay open. #117 is the one worth reading: the contract's remedy is to move prose into `references/`, which is exactly where neither the size gate nor Vale looks — and the blind spot is wider than #117 currently records, since there is no root `.vale.ini` at all, so every ADR, `CONTEXT.md` and `README.md` is unlinted too.

That blind spot let this branch carry two `level: error` `Kyberforge.SentenceOpenerThereIs` violations into `references/` files it created — `provider-adapter-author/references/provider-matrix.md:31` and `agent-audit/references/finding-criteria.md:95`. Both are reworded in `afadaae`, confirmed by routing each file through the audit's own `vale-wrap.sh` (1 error each before, 0 after). Five further occurrences sit in `references/` files already on `main`; those are the pre-existing corpus and stay with #117, which is the real fix.

Also unfixed and not this PR's: `apm install` appends a duplicate `SessionStart` entry to `.claude/settings.json`, so a fresh clone cannot get pre-push green without an edit AGENTS.md warns against. Reproduces identically on `main`.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

79c9089122 docs: make the resolution contract match what the gate actually does 
Both AGENTS.md and ADR-0020 said deployed .claude/.agents trees are consulted "only
when no authoring root exists". That stopped being true in f7cc279: the walk-up
finds a root in any git repo, so the condition is now whether that root holds
plugins, not whether one was found at all. Left alone, the two documents describe a
resolver that no longer exists — and this repo's prose is load-bearing, since the
next agent reads it instead of the code.

Both now also record why a name-count delta is not an equivalent test, because it is
the obvious simplification and it is wrong: a single-plugin monorepo re-collects its
own package, adds no new name, and would pull the deployed trees back in.

64ffb9f35a docs: make ADR-0020 match what actually shipped, and record what did not 
The ADR was written against base commit `f9b919d` and then not updated as the
implementation moved, so several of its numbers were measuring one thing and being
read as another — the exact conflation the ADR exists to stop, reproduced inside
it. Corrections, all reproducible now that each figure states its method:

- The preload tax is 23,427 chars / ~5,900 tokens, not 23,612 / ~6,200.
- `MAX_WORDS=2770` is a density proxy for the agentskills.io ~5,000-token ceiling,
  not "2× p90". Neither percentile reaches it: 2× the body-only p90 is 2,698 and
  2× the whole-file p90 is 3,052. Reading it as a percentile pairs a whole-file
  gate against a body-only distribution.
- `apm-workflow` is a 421-word body; 554 is its whole-file count. `skill-author`
  and `agent-author` were 2,623 and 2,582 body words — 2,760 and 2,758 whole-file,
  which is where "within twelve words of the gate" comes from. Two numbers for one
  file is the point, and only one of them is what either gate measures.
- Every `file:line` citation now says it resolves against `f9b919d`, since this
  change rewrites most of the cited files.

Three things the ADR asserted that no validator implemented are now filed by tier
in an exhaustive enforcement table — deterministic, prose-pattern, or auditor
judgment — because a rule filed under "Enforcement" that nothing enforces is the
failure mode this ADR is most exposed to. The Gotchas entry count moves to
SUGGESTION to match the script; the paraphrase FAIL is marked as an auditor's,
since semantic equivalence is not pattern-matchable.

Two gaps recorded rather than quietly left:

- The agent body-gate exemption lives in `agent-audit`'s validator and in the
  `skill-size-check` hook's `SKILL.md`-only `files:` pattern — *not* in
  `scripts/skill-size-check.sh`, which measures whatever path it is handed and
  today reports 900-word body FAILs on `git-orchestrate` (933),
  `gitea-orchestrate` (1,199) and `apm-orchestrate` (1,080). Agents escape by file
  pattern, not because the script knows the difference, so widening that pattern
  would silently enforce a gate this ADR declines to set.
- The `skill-audit`/`agent-audit` merge is deferred to #101. This change made the
  split deeper, not shallower: the dispatch retrofit took them from 3 and 4
  reference files to 7 and 8, and their two same-named `description-quality.md`
  files now differ on 100 of ~120 lines after normalising skill/agent. The merge
  reopens ADR-0008 and touches every call site in `skill-author`, `agent-author`
  and `forge`, so it is its own change. #100 carries the dangling-target fixes.

AGENTS.md and CONTEXT.md take the same corrections plus the two live setup
changes: PyYAML is now a hard requirement rather than an optional accelerator (a
fallback that mis-parses an unfamiliar scalar shape reports a clean pass on a file
it never measured), and `.claude/settings.json`'s `pretty-format-json` exclusion is
documented as load-bearing rather than as a tidy-up candidate.

LESSONS.md's autofix entry is corrected on its own provenance, which it got wrong
in both directions. `git log --date=iso` puts the introducing commit at 18:47 and
the fix at 21:54 — three hours, not "weeks" — and `git branch -a --contains` puts
the introducing commit on this branch only, not on main. It was manufactured
inside the same PR that diagnosed it. The added lesson is that "pre-existing" is a
claim about history and history is queryable: a defect found while working on a
branch feels inherited, and the feeling is not evidence.

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.

1c6eababb0 docs(adr): set a context contract for skill and agent authoring 
Every installed skill's name+description is preloaded every session -
23,612 chars (~6,200 tokens) across 39 skills. The authoring rules
optimised for triggering reliability with no counter-pressure on size:
skill-author:104 and description-quality.md:21 both mandate padding,
while skill-author:102 (the rule that would deflate it) is
judgment-only and absent from description-quality.md's FAIL conditions.

ADR-0020 sets the description shape (trigger + one capability +
boundary), two-tier size gates sitting below the unchanged
agentskills.io ceilings, a mandatory dispatch pattern for multi-branch
bodies, a Gotchas constraint, an agent-side delegation check, and
invocation as a design axis. Gates ship blocking with no baseline.

Adds five CONTEXT.md glossary entries: preload tax, skill context
contract, dispatch body, hand-invoked skill, delegation discipline.
