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.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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 title
  • message (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 merge
  • force_merge (boolean, optional) — merge even if checks are failing; use only when the user explicitly asks to override a failing CI status
  • merge_when_checks_succeed (boolean, optional) — queue the merge to happen automatically once checks pass, instead of merging immediately
  • head_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
  1. 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.
  2. Call pull_request_write method: "merge" with the chosen merge_style (ask the user if unspecified; do not default to squash silently, since squash has the closing-keyword implication below) and delete_branch: true unless told otherwise.
  3. If branch-protection requirements block the merge, the call itself will return the error — report it verbatim rather than retrying with force_merge unless 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.
