check-vale-style-sync.sh's glob-coverage probe silently self-disabled when vale was absent from PATH, exiting 0 on the one-character glob typo it exists to catch. pre-commit swallows a passing hook's output, so the pre-push hook reported Passed. The script already hard-fails on a bad REPO_ROOT for exactly this reason -- "a clean exit 0 here would read as 'checked, in sync' when nothing ran at all" -- and six of its assertions are vale invocations. Absence now fails; the opt-out is an env var that must be set deliberately, and it downgrades the run to text-level assertions while saying so in the summary. Neither script had a floor on its rewritten .apm/ paths, so relocating .apm/ made both exit 0 -- and this PR's whole change to them was a path rewrite, the exact edit that failure mode survives. A third gap the directory check could not see: relocating only assets/vale/ left both audit skill directories in place while every probe continued past its missing .vale.ini, skipping the whole table with FAIL=0. A zero-probe run is now an error. Both test suites encoded the vacuous pass as a passing case. Those cases are now scoped to "no plugins/kyberforge at all" and assert the fixture really lacks it, with new counterparts covering the drift shape and new positive cases requiring each script to report a non-zero inspected-target count. Also removes the HOOK_REGEX_CACHE memoization: every call site was a command substitution, so the writes happened in a subshell and the lookup always missed. Measured at 14ms of an ~870ms run, all of which is the six vale invocations. Deleted rather than repaired -- 35 lines claiming a benefit they never delivered is worse than no cache -- with a comment recording why.
