Why: enumerating a plugin's skills in its published description has now failed
three times in four days, the third time inside the correction for the second.
bb9158d (Aug 14) fixed core's description, which described bin's skills. That
failure was wrong content, not an incomplete list -- a syntactically perfect
four-item enumeration that belonged to a different plugin -- so enumerating
harder could not have caught it, and bb9158d's own fix replaced the enumeration
with a domain boundary. 65bac15 and de84d1b then cited that precedent while
doing the opposite, and the re-enumeration is itself incomplete: caveman and
zoom-out are unnamed in bin, git-workflow is unnamed in git despite 65bac15's
message claiming it was added, and gitea-workflow is unnamed in gitea. 23 of 27
skills named at the third attempt.
Nothing checks any of this. check-manifests.sh does not contain the string
"description"; apm audit --ci, apm pack --check-clean and
sync-plugin-content.sh --check all compare compiled output against apm.yml, so
their job is to propagate whatever it says byte-for-byte. The wiki claim passed
all fourteen pre-push hooks every day it was published. Enumeration also makes a
marketplace release the consequence of a directory appearing.
Implementation notes:
- ADR-0021 records the decision, the three failures, and why no gate is added:
the check is one-directional, cannot see an invented capability, and a
correspondence map would relocate the same per-skill maintenance one file over.
- bin 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5, git 1.3.4 -> 1.3.5, gitea 1.3.5 -> 1.3.6,
marketplace.version 0.4.4 -> 0.4.5, all PATCH under per_package.
- apm.yml's top-level version: is restored to lockstep at 0.4.5. It has moved
with marketplace.version in all eleven commits that ever touched the file
until this branch left it at 0.4.2, and apm.yml's own comment records it as
live and consumed by apm audit.
- git's boundary names the pre-commit hooks explicitly: pc-author and pc-run are
not git operations, and a boundary drawn narrower than the contents is the
same defect one level up.
- Regenerated with apm pack for the marketplace manifests and
sync-plugin-content.sh --all for the per-plugin ones; both mirrors verified
byte-identical.
Impact: consumer-facing. 16/16 pre-push hooks pass, suite green, generated diff
is 26 insertions and 26 deletions across 8 files with no incidental churn.
