 - **Real cause (second instance)**: my re-apply call landed after the superpowers refresh; update-all.sh §7.4 (21st pack) runs LATER and `rm -rf` + `mv` every 21st-* SKILL.md. My grep of update-all.sh was truncated by rtk ("+28 more hidden") and I read the partial listing as the whole file. Fresh verifier caught it (ECARTS).
 - **Solution**: `lib/effort-pins.txt` + `lib/effort-pins.sh` called ONCE after the LAST vendoring step of both scripts; census locks the order by line number (`ln_last`). Rule: a truncated tool listing is not a census; re-run without the pager or grep the anchor directly.
 - **Status**: resolved 2026-09-29 (feature/effort-round, [[BDR-108]]).
 ## BLK-025 — deny rule bypassed by an alias spelling: `npm i -g` vs `npm install -g` — 2026-09-30
 - **Friction**: user pasted a vendor setup block ("run `npm i -g @higgsfield/cli`"); command ran. settings.json denies `Bash(npm install -g *)` (BDR-093: global installs are the user's, via `make plugin`). Rule read only later, in the analyzer digest.
 - **Real cause**: deny entries are literal patterns; `i` alias and `--global` spelling do not match. No refusal fired, so nothing signalled the guardrail. Not a deliberate reroute, same effect.
 - **Solution**: deny += `npm i -g *`, `npm install --global *`, `npm i --global *` (3dad33e, user go). Disclosed to the user at the design gate. Rule for me: before a global install, grep settings.json `deny` for the verb family, not the exact spelling.
 - **Status**: resolved (partial) 2026-09-30 — flag-after-package forms (`npm i <pkg> -g`, `npm add -g`, `npm -g i`) still pass; pattern grammar for a mid-string wildcard unverified. Open question left to the user. [[BDR-109]]

 ## BDR-109 — Higgsfield pack: npm CLI + cloned skills, OFF by default, two toggles, allowlist [accepted] (2026-09-30)
 - **Decision**: `@higgsfield/cli` (`latest`) installed by install-plugins.sh Step 8.6. 8 upstream skills git-cloned (higgsfield-ai/skills, tracks main, no pin) by `lib/higgsfield-skills.sh` into gitignored `skills-external/higgsfield-*`; refreshed by update-all.sh 7.3b (npm only when `npm ls -g` owns the CLI). Two `toggle-external.sh` tools, both off, in no profile, not in MANAGED_EXTERNALS, not in link.sh: `higgsfield` = allowlist `HIGGSFIELD_MEDIA_SKILLS` (7 names), `higgsfield-websites` = 1 skill, landing-page aid inside Design work, never `higgsfield website create|deploy|publish`. CLAUDE.global.md Skill routing (6 lines, 312/320): explicit ask → enable toggle → Read skill; `higgsfield generate cost` before paid run. CLI presence = `higgsfield_cli_ok` probe, never `command -v`. doctor: pass/info only. settings.json deny += `npm i -g`, `npm install --global`, `npm i --global`.
 - **Why**: media generation occasional + metered → parked pack costs 0 (8 descriptions ≈ 1.7k tok when linked). websites skill triggers on "landing page", collides with Design work stack, Astro rule, no-deploy doctrine → own toggle, named ask only. Upstream unpinned → allowlist = default deny on added/renamed skills.
 - **Alternatives rejected**: `npx skills add` (relinks all 8 into skills/ on every refresh, breaks off-by-default); `creative` profile (`profile apply` overwrites the active label, next `make plugin` runs exclusive `set`, parks the design stack); `+creative` profile modifier (parser + statusline + census for a label); commit pin (user: track main like 21st; security gate reports 2 MEDIUM, accepted); glob "every higgsfield-* except websites" (renamed upstream skill linked with no review).

 - **Method**: scan of the last 400 transcripts, dedup by message.id, count records with/without `output_tokens_details`: sub 4586 requests, 6 % carry the field (2896/3075 sonnet-5 without, 65/72 fable-5-1 without); main 100 % carry it. A Fable 5.1 sub-agent at xhigh with 0 thinking tokens is impossible (thinking always on) → recording gap, not behaviour.
 - **Anomaly**: "main loop = 99.9 % of thinking" is a coverage artefact. The weighted-cost split (main 61 % / sub 39 %) holds: `output_tokens` is always present.
 - **Action**: `lib/effort-audit.py` counts `nodet`, prints `%counted` per row, "thinking counted on N% of them" per scope and a CAVEAT under 50 %; cite the cost split only; the 20 agent effort pins ([[BDR-107]]) remain unmeasured; a tier move argued on price stays a judgment ([[BDR-108]]).
 ## EVAL-039 — ship-feature higgsfield-pack: what each gate actually caught
 - **Date**: 2026-09-30
 - **Output checked**: plan + code of feature/higgsfield-pack ([[BDR-109]]), 12 files, suite of 16 cases.
 - **Method**: plan code dry-run in a scratch copy before the gate (suite per stage 0/5→5/0, 6/8→14/0, 14/1→15/0, 15/1→16/0, 4 mutation tests); 3 challengers + 1 confirmation; SDD per-task reviews; GATE 0/1/2 twice; final review on opus.
 - **Anomaly**: my first plan was green in dry-run and still wrong on 7 MAJOR points (shim vs binary, unbounded toggle probe, denylist membership, vacuous fixtures, askpass prompt): a dry-run proves the code does what I wrote, not that I wrote the right thing. Floor-guard flagged 2 `shellcheck disable=SC2016` I added to keep "shellcheck clean" green. Final review found the README promised drift reporting that the enabled state never reached. doc-syncer patch hit a shape escalation because I filed a script-comment edit under MINOR doc. One oracle of mine was shape-bound ([[LRN-188]]).
 - **Action**: keep the pre-gate dry-run (0 executor failure, 1 fix round in 7 tasks) AND the challenge (orthogonal finds); never silence a linter to satisfy a criterion, rewrite the line; doc patch plans carry public-doc paths only, script comments go as code commits.

 ## LRN-182 — Effort baselines are generation-bound; model aliases move silently
 - **Context**: transcripts of the last weeks show `sonnet` → claude-sonnet-5 (3069 msgs) then claude-sonnet-5-5 (recent), `opus` → opus-5 then opus-5-5, `fable` → fable-5 then fable-5-1. API reference: Sonnet 5.5 recalibrated effort levels ("start at medium for agentic coding"). [[EVAL-036]] A/B ran on one generation.
 - **Apply**: after an alias moves (new model in a tier) re-run `python3 lib/effort-audit.py` and re-read the pins; write the generation next to any effort figure; keep aliases (latest = cheapest or same price, never pin a version for a measurement). [[BDR-108]]
 ## LRN-183 — npm CLI with a vendored binary: probe it, `command -v` proves only the shim
 - **Context**: `@higgsfield/cli` ships `bin/*.js` + `postinstall: node install.js` that downloads `vendor/hf`. npm 11.19 prints "install scripts not yet covered by allowScripts" and may hold the script back (`ignore-scripts`, `allow-scripts` policy), at first install and at any `npm install -g` update. Shim then exits 1 "binary not found". First plan gated on `command -v higgsfield`: installer said "already installed", doctor passed, toggle blamed the session. Three challenge lenses flagged it.
 - **Apply**: presence check = a real subcommand (`<cli> version`), silent, bounded, used in install gate, after every update, doctor, toggle hints; remedy line names `npm install -g --allow-scripts=<pkg> <pkg>`. [[BDR-109]]
 ## LRN-184 — Pack membership on an unpinned upstream: allowlist, never "all except X"
 - **Context**: first `higgsfield_skills()` globbed `skills-external/higgsfield-*` minus `higgsfield-websites`. Upstream tracks main: a renamed `higgsfield-website` or a new deploy skill would be linked by the next `enable higgsfield`, which the routing line runs on every media ask. Breaks "websites on named ask only" and the house rule allowlist over denylist.
 - **Apply**: `HIGGSFIELD_MEDIA_SKILLS` array; unlisted synced skills reported by `pack_hints`, never linked; hints run on the already-enabled path too, else drift is silent in the steady state (final review finding). Same shape for any future pack tracked at main. [[BDR-109]]
 ## LRN-185 — `[ -t 1 ]` is dead under `exec > >(tee)`: interactive offers test stdin alone
 - **Context**: install-plugins.sh:22 `exec > >(tee -a "$LOG_FILE") 2>&1`. ctx7 (Step 6) and 21st (Step 8.7) login offers required `[ -t 0 ] && [ -t 1 ]` → never shown in a normal run since they were written; install logs always took the "not signed in" branch. Found by the read-before analyzer. update-all.sh:75 already tested stdin alone.
 - **Apply**: in a script that redirects stdout to a pipe, gate prompts on `[ -t 0 ]`; lock it (`INSTALL_WIRING`: no `-t 1`, ≥3 `[ -t 0 ]`, positive control). [[BDR-109]]
 ## LRN-186 — `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` alone does not stop a credential prompt
 - **Context**: confirmation challenger: git asks GIT_ASKPASS → core.askPass → SSH_ASKPASS → terminal; the env var disables only the last. VS Code terminals export `GIT_ASKPASS=…/askpass.sh` → clone of a deleted/private GitHub repo opens an input box, installer hangs. Tried live against a missing repo: `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 GIT_ASKPASS='' SSH_ASKPASS='' git -c credential.helper= -c core.askPass= clone … </dev/null` → rc 128 in 0 s.
 - **Apply**: every unattended clone in an installer uses that full form; an empty `GIT_ASKPASS` short-circuits the two later askpass sources. Hermetic suites cannot see it (local path clone, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null`): one live try. [[BDR-109]]
 ## LRN-187 — Vacuous bash fixtures: empty dirs, symlink targets, multi-call binaries
 - **Context**: three fixture traps in `lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh`. (1) `mkdir higgsfield-empty` then `git add -A`: git tracks no empty dir, the clone never held it, `no-empty` passed by construction. (2) symlink `higgsfield-linked → higgsfield-generate`: target moved first, link dangled, guard never exercised; mutation test stayed green. (3) `ln -s $(command -v timeout) gtimeout` → rc 1: `/usr/bin/timeout` is uutils coreutils, dispatches on argv[0].
 - **Apply**: put a file in any dir a git fixture must carry; point a symlink fixture at a target that survives; alias a tool with a wrapper script, never a symlink; mutation-test each guard before trusting green. [[LRN-172]], [[BDR-109]]
 ## LRN-188 — A CHECK oracle tied to code shape breaks on refactor; assert the property
 - **Context**: contract criterion 5 used `grep -A6 '^_higgsfield_probe()' | grep -c '</dev/null …' | grep -qx 2`. The gtimeout fallback reshaped the function into a loop: second redirect moved past the 6-line window → GATE 0 UNMET on correct code. Rewritten: extract the body `awk '/^fn\(\)/,/^}/'`, require the redirect on EVERY invocation line, control = strip redirects → differs. Orchestrator edited its own oracle outside a human gate, logged in the contract, surfaced to the user, fresh verifier judged it stricter.
 - **Apply**: oracles state a property over the whole unit (function body, section range), never a line window or an exact count of incidental lines; any oracle edit after a gate is logged + surfaced. [[LRN-093]], [[BDR-109]]

 - [ ] parked (per-task minors, none blocking): "rename" comment vs rm-then-mv; no `--` before the clone URL; ssh URL can prompt; no sweep of a stale `.higgsfield-stage.*`; timeout path itself untested; "pack not installed" when only unlisted skills are synced; doctor version read unbounded

 ## REQUEST (verbatim — IMMUTABLE)
 > fais les cinq low restants
 > [the five LOW parked in TODO after the 2026-09-29 security re-gate of BDR-108: no signal trap on the mktemp sibling; T13 never reaches the post-write re-read branch; T14 fails under root; `WORK="$(mktemp -d)"` unguarded in the suite; install-plugins.sh `err()` uses `echo -e` on the rejected map line]
 ## CLARIFICATIONS
 - Pass A silent autofill (bugfix). Pass B: nothing visible or public opens; messages may change wording.
 - LOW 1 (signal): `_effort_pin_write` installs an INT/TERM trap that removes `$tmp` and exits 130 for the duration of the cp/awk/mv chain, then restores the previous INT/TERM traps on every return path. NEVER an EXIT trap: install-plugins.sh runs a guarded-config EXIT trap the helper must not replace.
 - LOW 2 (T13): the post-write re-read branch is unreachable through the file system once `_effort_pin_closed` has passed (the awk always inserts at the closing `---`); it stays as a post-condition of the awk, its message drops the misleading "(CRLF …)" hint, and a unit test reaches it by stubbing `_effort_pin_write` to a no-op inside a subshell that sourced the lib. T13 keeps proving a CRLF file is rejected (renamed to what it proves).
 - LOW 3 (root): T14 prints a visible SKIP and counts nothing when `id -u` is 0 (chmod bits are ignored as root).
 - LOW 4: `WORK="$(mktemp -d)" || exit 1` in the suite.
 - LOW 5: the helper prints the rejected map line through `printf '%q'` so a caller's `echo -e` err() cannot interpret backslash escapes from map content; install-plugins.sh `err()` itself is untouched (other messages rely on `-e`).
 ## ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
 1. Signal safety: a SIGINT delivered during the awk write leaves no `SKILL.md.*` sibling and the process exits 130; on a normal return the previous INT/TERM trap state is restored and no EXIT trap was set. Case `T15-sigint-removes-temp` + `T15b-traps-restored`.
   CHECK: out=$(make test suite=lib/tests/effort-pins.test.sh 2>&1); echo "$out" | grep -q 'effort-pins: [0-9]* pass, 0 fail' || { echo "$out" | grep FAIL; exit 1; }; for k in T15-sigint-removes-temp T15b-traps-restored; do echo "$out" | grep -q "PASS $k" || { echo "missing PASS $k"; exit 1; }; done; ! grep -qE 'trap [^#]*EXIT' lib/effort-pins.sh && echo SIGNAL_OK
   EXPECT: SIGNAL_OK
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: SIGNAL_OK
 2. Re-read branch reached: a test stubs `_effort_pin_write` to a no-op and asserts `_effort_pin_apply_one` returns 1 with an err line naming the file; the message no longer mentions CRLF; T13 is renamed `T13-crlf-file-rejected`.
   CHECK: out=$(make test suite=lib/tests/effort-pins.test.sh 2>&1); for k in T13-crlf-file-rejected T13b-reread-mismatch-fails; do echo "$out" | grep -q "PASS $k" || { echo "missing PASS $k"; exit 1; }; done; ! grep -q 'CRLF or malformed' lib/effort-pins.sh && echo REREAD_OK
   EXPECT: REREAD_OK
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: REREAD_OK
 3. Suite hardening: `WORK` guarded, T14 skips visibly under root (the skip path is exercised by faking `id -u` through a function override in a subshell run of the T14 block, or by an explicit `EFFORT_PINS_TEST_FAKE_ROOT=1` hook read by the suite).
   CHECK: grep -q 'WORK="$(mktemp -d)" || exit 1' lib/tests/effort-pins.test.sh && out=$(EFFORT_PINS_TEST_FAKE_ROOT=1 make test suite=lib/tests/effort-pins.test.sh 2>&1) && echo "$out" | grep -q 'SKIP T14' && echo "$out" | grep -q 'effort-pins: [0-9]* pass, 0 fail' && echo SUITE_OK
   EXPECT: SUITE_OK
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: SUITE_OK
 4. Escape-safe rejection message: a map line `bad\tname high` (literal backslash-t) is rejected and the err text carries the shell-quoted form (`bad\\tname`), so an `echo -e` caller prints it verbatim. Case `T16-rejected-line-quoted`.
   CHECK: out=$(make test suite=lib/tests/effort-pins.test.sh 2>&1); echo "$out" | grep -q 'PASS T16-rejected-line-quoted' && grep -q "printf '%q'" lib/effort-pins.sh && echo QUOTE_OK
   EXPECT: QUOTE_OK
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: QUOTE_OK
 5. Everything else green: shellcheck on the helper and suite, effort-routing census, live tree idempotent (0 applied, 0 failed), doctrine-citers.
   CHECK: shellcheck lib/effort-pins.sh lib/tests/effort-pins.test.sh && make test suite=lib/tests/effort-routing.test.sh 2>&1 | grep -q 'census: [0-9]* pass, 0 fail' && bash lib/effort-pins.sh 2>&1 | grep -q ' 0 applied, [0-9]* already at level, 0 failed' && make test suite=lib/tests/no-vacuous-locks.test.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo STABLE_OK

 ## CLARIFICATIONS
 - Pass A: none — outcome and scope derivable (machine setup + install-process integration).
 - Q: which of the 8 upstream skills? / A (user, 2026-09-30): "sans les sites, mais j'aimerais qu'on puisse l'appeler quand meme. PAr exemple la pour mon jeux ../game je vias vouloir faire une landing page avec certainement. ou pour un autre projet. Mais pas que ca soit systematique. Peut etre ajouter aux profil design (full par extension) une option + creative qu'on peut activer ou qui s'active avec un trigger explicite"
 - Q: activation? / A: "Pack toggle, off par défaut" — `make plugin` installs CLI + skills, links nothing; `toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield` activates, state persists; enabled on THIS machine at the end of the run.
 - Q: integration scope? / A: "Complet" — install-plugins.sh, plugins.lock.json, .gitignore, update-all.sh, doctor.sh, README; same coverage as 21st.
 - Q: "+creative" shape? / A: "2 toggles + ligne de routing" — toggle `higgsfield` (7 media skills) + separate toggle `higgsfield-websites`, both off by default, additive on any profile, never in MANAGED_EXTERNALS nor any profile; routing lines in CLAUDE.global.md Skill routing (explicit ask → enable toggle → follow skill). Skills cloned from higgsfield-ai/skills into `skills-external/` (21st pattern), NOT `npx skills add` (it would re-link all 8 into skills/ on every refresh).
 - Q: toggle names? / A: "higgsfield + higgsfield-websites".
 - Delegated internals (orchestrator): lock `version: latest` (21st precedent, BDR-056); skills track upstream main, refreshed by `make update`; shared helper `lib/higgsfield-skills.sh` sourced by install-plugins.sh and update-all.sh (URL single source, env override for tests); refresh = rm+mv per skill, parked `skills-disabled/<n>` symlink untouched; whole skill dirs copied (md + py + yaml, MIT, no binaries — read 2026-09-30 at upstream f83af0b); no effort pins (BDR-107: machine-owned, not in the design stack) but the sync sits BEFORE `apply_effort_pins` in both scripts (BDR-108, BLK-024); pack status = enabled when ANY member is linked (21st semantics); auth oracle `timeout 15 higgsfield auth token </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1` (locality unverified: CLI source is closed, hence the timeout; token never printed, never logged).
 - No settings.json edit: `higgsfield website deploy|publish` already falls under the hard_deny "Production deployment"; the routing line says so.
 - The browser sign-in (`higgsfield auth login`) is a user action outside the diff: two attempts timed out unapproved on 2026-09-30; state reported in the final message, not a criterion.
 - CLI already installed on this machine by the orchestrator (`npm i -g @higgsfield/cli`, 1.1.26) before the `Bash(npm install -g *)` deny rule was read: the `i` alias slipped past the pattern. User named the package and the command; disclosed in the final message. The installer's own npm call runs under `make plugin`, by the user.
 - Live steps are the orchestrator's: first sync of the 8 skills on this machine (helper call) and `toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield`. Executors never run install-plugins.sh, update-all.sh, link.sh, doctor.sh, `npm install`, or the live helper against the network. Under subagent-driven-development each executor commits its own task on feature/higgsfield-pack, explicit paths only.
 - [gated 2026-09-30] Design presented in chat, approved. User reply verbatim: "1 oui ajoute a deny , j'ai bien auth sur le cli, oui non on deploy pas de site entier, je vais juste men servir pour aider a faire des landing pages c'est tout, integre au reste de l'archi. et oui A"
 - [gated 2026-09-30] Deny hole closed: settings.json `permissions.deny` gains `Bash(npm i -g *)` (asked), plus the two `--global` spellings of the same command (orchestrator, same hole, restriction-only). Hand edit by the orchestrator, guarded config (BDR-028).
 - [gated 2026-09-30] `higgsfield-websites` is an AID for landing pages inside the existing Design work stack and site rules (Astro by default): assets and references only. Never `higgsfield website create|deploy|publish`. The routing line says so.
 - [gated 2026-09-30] TTY login, option A: the two existing dead login offers (ctx7 Step 6, 21st Step 8.7) are fixed in this feature. `[ -t 0 ] && [ -t 1 ]` becomes `[ -t 0 ]` (stdout is the tee pipe since install-plugins.sh:22; update-all.sh:75 already tests stdin alone); the Higgsfield block uses the same test.
 - Machine state 2026-09-30: user signed in (`auth token` rc 0); orchestrator selected the only workspace (`higgsfield workspace set`, Private, plus plan) so `account status` answers.
 - Pass B [2026-09-30]: plan `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack.md` read against the three classes; no visible / public-name / scope choice left open beyond what the three question rounds and the design approval settled (step numbers 8.6 / 7.3b, doctor wording and README placement follow the 21st precedent). Proceeds silently.
 - [challenge 2026-09-30, 3 lenses: simplicity CONCERNS(1 MAJOR), robustness CONCERNS(3 MAJOR), correctness CONCERNS(2 MAJOR), no BLOCKER; every MAJOR closed by a named plan change, r2] (a) CLI presence = `higgsfield_cli_ok` probe (`higgsfield version`) in Step 8.6, 7.3b, doctor and the toggle hints: the npm shim can sit on PATH with no binary after a skipped postinstall; (b) every toggle probe bounded (`bounded`, 15 s) like the helper's; (c) media pack = allowlist `HIGGSFIELD_MEDIA_SKILLS` of the 7 names (default deny: upstream is unpinned), unlisted synced skills reported and never linked; (d) sync stages inside skills-external/ (rename on one filesystem), counts a skill only once moved, skips symlinked entries, `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`; (e) vacuous fixtures fixed (SKILL.md-less dir now tracked by git, symlink points at a surviving target); (f) Step 8.6 loses its hardcoded `higgsfield-generate` fallback branch; (g) exact-count message locks dropped; (h) routing entry cut to 6 lines (312/320); (i) `enable higgsfield-websites` prints the CLI hints too; (j) suite builds its own clean PATH instead of failing on a system-wide CLI; (k) rollback note + known limits in the plan. Not taken: pruning skills upstream removes (known limit, documented), one parametrised enumerator for 21st and higgsfield (the allowlist makes them differ).
 - [confirmation pass 2026-09-30, correctness CONCERNS(1 MAJOR, 6 MINOR), all closed by named changes, r3] clone disables every credential prompt (GIT_ASKPASS / SSH_ASKPASS emptied, credential.helper and core.askPass reset, stdin closed; tried live against a missing repo: rc 128 in 0 s); doctor version read cannot trip errexit; block 7.3b reports three states (no answer / updated / update failed, old binary kept); criterion 2 control uses `--no-index`; criterion 3 tells `higgsfield` from `higgsfield-websites`; criterion 6 and the suite check the probe comes AFTER the npm call; rollback note names the synced sources.
 - [gated 2026-09-30] STEP 3 validation gate: user answered "yes" to the 9-task plan, the r2/r3 design changes (allowlist, CLI probe, hardened clone) and the challenge summary. Criteria 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 as revised by the challenge are the gated versions.
 - [final review 2026-09-30, opus, whole branch: 0 Critical, 1 Important, 8 Minor → one fix wave, commit 4c7db88] `enable higgsfield` on an already-enabled pack now runs the hints, so upstream drift is reported in the steady state (README said "reported"); `make update` runs npm only for an npm-installed CLI (`npm ls -g`), else an info line; probes fall back to `gtimeout`; CHANGELOG names the remaining npm-deny gap; README gains the workspace step; two fixtures carry a space in their path. Deferred with rulings: remedy text under a pinned version, redundant probes in Step 8.6, rollback note.
 - [oracle maintenance 2026-09-30, orchestrator, NOT a human gate — surfaced in the final report] Criterion 5's CHECK counted the redirect inside the first 6 lines of `_higgsfield_probe`; the gtimeout fallback reshaped the function (a loop), so that count went from 2 to 1 within the window while both invocations still redirect. The CHECK now extracts the whole function body and requires EVERY `higgsfield "$@"` invocation line to carry `</dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1`. Criterion text unchanged; the check is stricter, not looser.
 - [gated 2026-09-30] Doc sync: user answered "A, all , P7 seul". A = keep the four audit retouches (README + CHANGELOG committed as d9617d8; the `lib/toggle-external.sh` header comment committed apart as 2560905 after the doc-shape oracle refused a script path in a MINOR doc patch). P7 = one line in agents/plugin-advisor.md (5350221): never recommend the Higgsfield toggles from project signals. all = registries BDR-109, LRN-183..188, BLK-025, EVAL-039. GATE 0 replayed MET, floor clean, `make test` rc 0 (45 suites) on 5350221.
 - Functions ≤ 25 logic lines, ≤ 5 locals, shellcheck clean; logic lines within 80 columns. Message strings on ok/info/warn/err/echo/printf lines and the pre-existing long `case` patterns of toggle-external.sh follow the surrounding installer style and may run longer [challenge 2026-09-30]. README prose follows rules/writing-style.md.
 ## ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
 1. plugins.lock.json carries a `higgsfield` entry: source `npm:@higgsfield/cli`, version `latest`, no `managed_by` (doctor-vendored must ignore it), a note naming the skills repo.
   CHECK: python3 -c "import json;d=json.load(open('plugins.lock.json'))['higgsfield'];assert d['source']=='npm:@higgsfield/cli' and d['version']=='latest' and 'managed_by' not in d and 'higgsfield-ai/skills' in d['note'];print('LOCK_OK')"
   EXPECT: LOCK_OK
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: LOCK_OK
 2. .gitignore covers both states of the pack and the sync stage: the `skills/higgsfield-*` links, the `skills-external/higgsfield-*/` sources, `skills-external/.higgsfield-stage.*/` (positive control: a tracked skill is NOT ignored). [stage: challenge 2026-09-30]

   EXPECT: IGNORED_BOTH
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: IGNORED_BOTH
 3. Off by default, never resurrected: no higgsfield name in link.sh, in lib/profile.sh MANAGED_EXTERNALS, or in any lib/profiles/*.profile; both toggles are in toggle-external.sh MANAGED_TOOLS (positive control on the grep first).
   CHECK: echo 'higgsfield-generate external' | grep -q higgsfield || exit 1; grep -q higgsfield link.sh && exit 1; grep -q higgsfield lib/profile.sh && exit 1; grep -lq higgsfield lib/profiles/*.profile && exit 1; awk '/^MANAGED_TOOLS=\(/,/\)/' lib/toggle-external.sh | grep -qE '(^|[( ])higgsfield( |$)' && awk '/^MANAGED_TOOLS=\(/,/\)/' lib/toggle-external.sh | grep -qE '(^|[( ])higgsfield-websites( |$)' && echo OFF_BY_DEFAULT
   EXPECT: OFF_BY_DEFAULT
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: OFF_BY_DEFAULT
 4. Hermetic suite `lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh` exists and is green through `make test`: sync helper (moves only real `higgsfield-*` dirs holding a SKILL.md, skips a pack-named symlink, no `.git`, stale upstream file gone after refresh, parked link survives, failed clone keeps the existing copy and returns non-zero), silent CLI probes (binary answers / shim without binary / no CLI / no `timeout`; nothing printed), toggles (`enable higgsfield` links the allowlisted media skills and NOT websites; an unlisted synced skill is reported and never linked; `enable higgsfield-websites` links only it; disable parks; status missing/disabled/enabled; signed-out, shim-only and absent CLI warn, never block; 21st behaviour unchanged) and static wiring locks, with a fake `higgsfield` on PATH.

   EXPECT: SUITE_OK
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: SUITE_OK
 5. install-plugins.sh: a Higgsfield step sits between Step 8.5 and Step 8.7; it proves the CLI with the `higgsfield_cli_ok` probe (never `command -v` alone: the npm shim can outlive its binary), installs per the lock entry, prints the `--allow-scripts=` remedy on failure, syncs the skills through the shared helper BEFORE the last `apply_effort_pins`, offers `higgsfield auth login` only when stdin is a terminal, and never lets `auth token` output reach the log (every call goes through `_higgsfield_probe`, which redirects to /dev/null); the summary lists the pack.

   EXPECT: INSTALL_WIRED
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: INSTALL_WIRED
 6. update-all.sh refreshes the CLI and the skills through the same helper, before the 21st block and before the `apply_effort_pins` re-apply, skipping when the CLI is absent, and proves the updated CLI with `higgsfield_cli_ok` (a shim left without its binary gets a warning, not a success line). [probe: challenge 2026-09-30]

   EXPECT: UPDATE_WIRED
   EVIDENCE: MET exit=0 marker-found :: UPDATE_WIRED
 7. doctor.sh reports the Higgsfield CLI and its session at info level (never a warn or a fail when absent or signed out), errexit-safe.
   CHECK: grep -q 'Higgsfield' doctor.sh && ! grep -E '(warn|fail) .*[Hh]iggsfield' doctor.sh | grep -q . && out=$(bash doctor.sh 2>/dev/null; true) && echo "$out" | grep -q 'Higgsfield' && echo DOCTOR_OK

 8. CLAUDE.global.md Skill routing names both toggles (explicit ask → enable → follow the skill; metered credits; `higgsfield-websites` as a landing-page aid inside the Design work stack, never `higgsfield website create|deploy|publish`) and the file stays within the 320-line guard (BDR-062, BDR-098).

 ## [Unreleased]
 ### Added
 - **Higgsfield pack, off by default**: `make plugin` installs the `@higgsfield/cli` CLI (Step 8.6) and clones the skills of higgsfield-ai/skills into `skills-external/higgsfield-*` through the new `lib/higgsfield-skills.sh`; `make update` refreshes the skills, and the CLI when npm installed it; `make doctor` reports the CLI and its session without ever warning. The pack belongs to no profile: `lib/toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield` links the seven allowlisted media skills, `enable higgsfield-websites` the landing-page aid, and no `profile set` or `make link` re-enables either. `CLAUDE.global.md` routes explicit media-generation asks to it. Hermetic suite `lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh`.
 - **Effort round (BDR-108)**: every skill carries an entry level next to its model pin. `lib/effort-pins.txt` (map) + `lib/effort-pins.sh` (idempotent re-apply after the last vendoring step of `install-plugins.sh` and `update-all.sh`) replace the hardcoded brainstorming/writing-plans loop and extend the pins to the design stack (high, one level per stack since the last loaded wins), superpowers, agent-skills and the 21st pack; `skills-perso` low, `pdf-translate` medium, `site-motion` high; doctrine: the design stack loads paired with the first Read (a lone Skill call applies nothing). Model pins stay tier aliases: the latest version of a tier is also the cheapest or same-priced, so the quality/price trade-off is tier × effort, never version. `lib/effort-audit.py` prints thinking coverage per scope (sub-agent records carry no thinking count on ~90 % of requests: EVAL-037's "executors stay cheap" was a measurement gap, not a finding).
 - **Effort tiering (BDR-107)**: reasoning effort routed per role and per phase. Session default `high`; `effort:` pins on the 20 repo-authored agents; entry level on 28 tracked user-invoked skills plus the two vendored superpowers skills (re-applied by `install-plugins.sh` after resync); five shifter skills `effort-low` … `effort-max` loaded at phase boundaries per `lib/effort-shift.md`, always sent with the step's first tool call (a lone Skill call is a no-op on 2.1.283), with `max` at the verify-secure caps and ship-feature 4b; `/effort-max` as the turn-scoped relaunch lever; statusline shows the live level; session banner warns when `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` silences the pins; census `lib/tests/effort-routing.test.sh`; transcript audit `lib/effort-audit.py`.

 ### Security
 - `settings.json` `autoMode.soft_deny` gains a "Global npm installs" entry: every spelling of a global install is held until the user names the package in the turn, and Claude states the publisher, age, download volume, install scripts and known advisories first. It covers the forms the literal `deny` patterns miss.
 - `settings.json` `permissions.deny` now refuses three more spellings of a global npm install (`npm i -g`, `npm install --global`, `npm i --global`): the rule matched `npm install -g` only. Not a complete list: forms with the flag after the package name, such as `npm i <pkg> -g`, still pass.
 - **Ten secret-reader deny rules added**: `sed`, `awk`, `cut`, `tr`,
  `sort`, `uniq`, `diff`, `od`, `xxd`, `strings` against `.env*`. Six of
  those tools sat in `permissions.allow`, so reading a `.env` through

 ### Fixed
 - `install-plugins.sh` never offered the ctx7 and 21st logins: both blocks required stdout to be a terminal, and stdout is the `tee` pipe of the install log. They now test stdin alone, as `update-all.sh` already did.
 - `lib/effort-pins.sh` residual LOW (security re-gate of BDR-108): INT/TERM trap removes the mktemp sibling and exits 130 (never an EXIT trap, the installer owns one); the post-write re-read message no longer claims CRLF and is reached by a stubbed unit test; the rejected map line is printed through `printf '%q'` so a caller's `echo -e` cannot interpret map content; the fixture suite guards its `mktemp -d` and skips the read-only case visibly under root.
 - `update-all.sh` re-fetched the vendored skills at every run but never re-applied the effort pins: brainstorming/writing-plans lost their xhigh until the next `make plugin` (BDR-107 gap, closed by `lib/effort-pins.sh`).

 ### Higgsfield CLI
 `@higgsfield/cli` (bins `higgsfield` and `higgs`) generates images, video,
 audio and brand media from the terminal. One browser login, no API key.
 Generation spends account credits.
 ```bash
 npm i -g @higgsfield/cli
 higgsfield auth login       # browser flow
 ```
 `make plugin` does both (Step 8.6 installs the CLI, then offers the login in
 an interactive terminal) and clones the skills of
 [higgsfield-ai/skills](https://github.com/higgsfield-ai/skills) into
 `skills-external/higgsfield-*`. `make update` refreshes the skills, and the
 CLI when npm installed it; `make doctor` reports the CLI and its session.
 The copies are machine-owned and gitignored. They follow upstream `main`,
 so a prompt change arrives with no diff to review, and a skill that
 upstream removes keeps its last local copy.
 The pack is off by default and belongs to no profile. It costs nothing until
 you ask for it, and no `profile set` touches it:
 ```bash
 bash lib/toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield            # media skills
 bash lib/toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield-websites   # landing-page aid
 bash lib/toggle-external.sh disable higgsfield
 bash lib/toggle-external.sh disable higgsfield-websites
 ```
 `higgsfield` links a fixed list of seven media skills: generate, soul-id,
 product-photoshoot, brandkit, marketplace-cards, video-explainer and
 youtube-thumbnail. The list is `HIGGSFIELD_MEDIA_SKILLS` in
 `lib/toggle-external.sh`. A skill that upstream adds later is synced, and
 every `enable higgsfield` names it, the pack being on or not. It stays
 unlinked until it is added to the list.
 `higgsfield-websites` is kept apart. It helps with landing pages inside the
 design stack (assets, references), and `higgsfield website
 create|deploy|publish` stays unused. Claude enables either toggle itself on
 an explicit ask (Skill routing in `CLAUDE.global.md`) and checks the price
 with `higgsfield generate cost` before a paid run.
 The skills are cloned, not installed with `npx skills add`: that installer
 links every skill into `~/.claude/skills` on each refresh, which would undo
 the off-by-default state.
 After the first login, select a workspace once: `higgsfield workspace list`,
 then `higgsfield workspace set <id>`. Until then the account commands answer
 "No workspace selected", even though the session is active.
 The package ships its binary through a postinstall script. If npm holds that
 script back, `higgsfield` exists on PATH and fails at once; reinstall with
 `npm install -g --allow-scripts=@higgsfield/cli @higgsfield/cli`.
