Defame1297 38f1ba4e03 fix(kyberforge): bridge apm content to Claude Code's flat plugin discovery
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.

Full add flag table

Flag Meaning
-b <branch> Create and check out a new branch; fails if it exists
-B <branch> Like -b but resets the branch if it already exists
-d / --detach Detach HEAD; useful for throwaway experiments
--orphan Create empty unborn branch
--no-checkout Suppress initial checkout (for sparse-checkout setup)
--guess-remote Look for a matching remote-tracking branch by path basename
--lock [--reason <str>] Lock immediately on creation (atomic; avoids race vs. add-then-lock)
-f / --force Allow when branch is already checked out elsewhere
--relative-paths Link via relative paths (portable across moves)

Using - as <commit-ish> is shorthand for @{-1} (the branch checked out before the current one), e.g. git worktree add <path> -.

New unborn branch

git worktree add --orphan -b <branch> <path>

Creates an empty branch with no commits.

Sparse-checkout worktree

Suppress the initial checkout to configure sparse-checkout first:

git worktree add --no-checkout ../sparse main
cd ../sparse
git sparse-checkout init --cone
git sparse-checkout set src/
git checkout main

Worktree on removable media

git worktree add --lock --reason "external SSD" <path> <branch>
git worktree unlock <path>  # when reconnected

Remote-branch disambiguation

git worktree add <path> <remote>/<branch>

For ambiguous names across remotes, checkout.defaultRemote config disambiguates explicitly, or --guess-remote auto-matches by path basename (default controlled by worktree.guessRemote config). If a branch name matches multiple remotes during worktree add and neither is set, Git refuses rather than guessing.

Configuration

Key Effect
worktree.guessRemote Default for --guess-remote on git worktree add
worktree.useRelativePaths Default for --relative-paths on git worktree add (link via relative paths — portable across moves)
gc.worktreePruneExpire How long before stale worktree metadata is pruned by git gc
extensions.worktreeConfig Enable per-worktree config scope (config.worktree file) — see Gotchas in SKILL.md
checkout.defaultRemote Disambiguates which remote to use when a branch name matches multiple remotes during worktree add
