Defame1297 dee56c506a feat(kyberforge): refresh the apm install at SessionStart, not at push
Why
---
ADR-0018 left deployed skills tracking the remote default branch with nothing
watching for drift. The mechanism that was supposed to cover this,
scripts/git-hooks/post-push, could never have worked: git has no client-side
post-push hook. install.sh copied it into .git/hooks/ so it looked installed,
and it had never once fired. Issue #78 reported it as skipping the gitea
plugin; it was skipping everything.

Refreshing on push was also the wrong shape. Your install goes stale when
someone else merges, so a push of your own is neither necessary nor sufficient
for staleness to have occurred.

Implementation notes
--------------------
kyberforge ships a SessionStart hook (startup matcher only) that runs
`apm outdated`, and when anything is behind runs `apm update --yes` and returns
reloadSkills:true so the running session picks up redeployed content. It exits
silently with no apm.lock.yaml present, which keeps it inert for hosts that
installed this plugin natively rather than through apm.

Two findings drove the wiring, both verified rather than assumed:

- apm resolves ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} against the installed package root, and
  `apm pack` keeps only *.json from .apm/hooks/. A .../hooks/<script> reference
  therefore points into the generated mirror where the script does not exist —
  apm reports "Hook script not found" and deploys a hook aimed at nothing. The
  reference must be .apm/-relative, and a test pins it.
- apm's executable-trust gate is OFF unless apm.yml carries an `executables:`
  block; until now every hook, bin and MCP primitive a dependency shipped would
  have deployed unprompted. Root apm.yml now enables it. The allow key is
  version-pinned by apm's design, so a kyberforge version bump silently blocks
  the hook until the key is bumped too — called out in the block and the ADR.

Also corrects ADR-0018 and AGENTS.md, which named `apm install` as the refresh
command. It is not: `apm install` deploys from apm.lock.yaml's pinned commit
and does not re-resolve refs. `apm update` does.

Impact
------
Session startup costs ~0.7s when current and ~10.4s when six packages are
behind. Auto-refresh rewrites apm.lock.yaml, so an unexplained modification to
it after opening a session is expected; the emitted notice says so.

.claude/settings.json stops being exactly {"hooks": {}} once the hook lands
there — the merged entry is apm's own output, and the rule that nothing
repo-authored goes in that file is unchanged. .claude/hooks/ and the
.claude/apm-hooks.json sidecar are gitignored install output.

The hook cannot install itself: dependencies resolve from the remote, so it
takes effect only after this merges and `apm update` runs once against the new
default branch.

scripts/git-hooks/ is now empty. install.sh's copy block is kept and
test-git-hooks-install.sh synthesizes its own fixture, so the mechanism stays
tested without requiring a dead hook to exist.

docs/

Plugin documentation. Not read automatically by Claude Code or GitHub Copilot CLI — reference specific files from skill bodies or agent prompts as needed.

Path Purpose
hooks.md Where this plugin's hooks are authored (.apm/hooks/), where they are generated to (hooks/hooks.json), and the Claude Code and Copilot CLI schemas

Everything else under this directory is research material.

Upstream reference material gathered during skill authoring. Not shipped with the plugin — used at development time only.

research/docs/agentskillsio/ agentskills.io spec, skill authoring, description optimization, eval design, scripts
research/docs/claude-code-plugins/ Claude Code plugin and marketplace manifests, plugin directory layout, agent definition format, claude plugin validate behaviour
research/docs/github-copilot-plugins/ Copilot CLI plugin manifest and marketplace format, agent definition format, Copilot extensions and SDK

AGENTS.md research moved to plugins/core/docs/research/docs/agentsmd/ when the AGENTS.md skills landed in the core plugin (ADR-0012) — it is no longer part of kyberforge's provenance chain.
