cli-reference.md said vale exits non-zero for any alert at or above
MinAlertLevel. The exit code keys on error-level alerts alone;
MinAlertLevel filters display only. LESSONS.md records this exact
misconception as costing two review rounds, and this research doc is
the cited provenance source for the skills that state it correctly.
CONTEXT.md claimed a SKILL.md outside plugins/ matches no glob section.
[**/SKILL.md] matches any path ending in SKILL.md — the sentence is a
stale leftover from the path-scoped globs at cbc33d9, and contradicted
its own paragraph two sentences earlier. The NOT-RUN 0-files guard it
justifies is correct and is unchanged; only the rationale was wrong.
CONTEXT.md also cited the local files: regex as the scoping mechanism,
where the shipped manifest deliberately stays layout-agnostic.
ADR-0014 records the entry[0]-only prefixing constraint as the reason
the self-locating design is required, and that no entry may grow a
repo-internal path argument.
