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. Refs: #90

Merge workflow
Two independent gates
Before merging, two things can each independently block the merge, and only one of them is visible from get_status:
- CI status —
pull_request_read method: "get_status"returns the combined commit status for the PR's head commit. This reflects CI/build checks only. - Review and branch-protection state — required approval counts, an allowlist of required approvers/teams, whether requested reviewers have reviewed, and stale-approval handling (an approval given before new commits were pushed may be auto-dismissed or ignored, depending on repo settings). None of this is exposed via
get_status— it is enforced server-side by the merge call itself, and repository admins are not exempt from it by default (an explicit "administrators must follow branch protection" setting is what removes that bypass).
A green get_status does not mean the merge will succeed. Treat both gates as independently checkable, and expect pull_request_write method: "merge" to return an error if branch-protection requirements aren't met even when CI is passing.
pull_request_write method: "merge"
Parameters (in addition to owner, repo, pull_number — see references/pull-requests.md for the full parameter list):
merge_style(string, optional, default"merge") —"merge"|"rebase"|"rebase-merge"|"squash"|"fast-forward-only"title(string, optional) — override the merge/squash commit's titlemessage(string, optional) — merge commit message (for squash, this becomes the squash commit's message — see the auto-close gotcha below)delete_branch(boolean, optional) — delete the head branch after a successful mergeforce_merge(boolean, optional) — merge even if checks are failing; use only when the user explicitly asks to override a failing CI statusmerge_when_checks_succeed(boolean, optional) — queue the merge to happen automatically once checks pass, instead of merging immediatelyhead_commit_id(string, optional) — expected head SHA; supplying it lets the server detect if the branch moved since you last read it (conflict detection) rather than merging a stale diff
Recommended sequence
- Call
pull_request_read method: "get_status"first. Report CI status to the user. Do not block the merge attempt solely because CI is failing unless the user asks you to stop — but do surface it before proceeding. - Call
pull_request_write method: "merge"with the chosenmerge_style(ask the user if unspecified; do not default to squash silently, since squash has the closing-keyword implication below) anddelete_branch: trueunless told otherwise. - If branch-protection requirements block the merge, the call itself will return the error — report it verbatim rather than retrying with
force_mergeunless the user explicitly asks to override.
Merging does not auto-close linked issues
Gitea has no GitHub-style "merge triggers close" event. It does parse closing keywords (Fixes #N, Closes #N) in commit messages that land on the default branch — so a regular (non-squash) merge, which preserves each original commit message, can auto-close an issue this way if one of those commits used a closing keyword. A squash merge rewrites history into a single commit, so whether the keyword survives depends entirely on what message (or the default squash message) ends up being.
After any merge, call issue_read method: "get" (in gitea-issues) on any issue the PR references before deciding whether to close it explicitly. Closing an already-closed issue is a harmless no-op, but don't assume a manual close is always needed, and don't assume it never is.
