residual value = format consistency only → ROI insufficient on a solo repo.
Original Decision/Why/Rejected intact (append-only); Index status cell updated.
- LRN-080: measure if the model already does X before adding an instruction to

/release-candidate cuts a release by orchestrating the existing gitflow
release mechanic (start from develop; finish fan-out main+develop+delete)
and adding the one piece the lib lacks: the version tag.
- skills/release-candidate/SKILL.md: thin orchestrator — preconditions →
gitflow start release → prep (version.txt + CHANGELOG, breaking doc'd) →
run-tests gate → human WHEN-to-release gate → gitflow finish → git tag -a
vX.Y.Z (in the skill, lib untouched) → push (gated).
- lib/tests/run-release-candidate.sh: throwaway-repo flow replay. RC_TAG=0
reds the tag (gitflow fans out but never tags); RC_TAG=1 → 5/5.
- CLAUDE.md: Skill routing line. CHANGELOG [Unreleased]: /reconcile +
/release-candidate under Added (so the eventual v4.0.0 captures them).
Tag scheme vX.Y.Z continues the version.txt/CHANGELOG lineage. writing-skills TDD.

/reconcile confronts declarative sources (TODO checkboxes, registry
statuses, ## Index) against real git/fs state and surfaces the gaps,
in 4 categories + contradiction candidates.
- lib/reconcile.sh: engine — body-only enumeration (never the Index),
git/fs oracles, BLK last-block-wins status, lexical deferral sweep,
contradiction candidates, pure reconcile_verdict kernel.
- lib/tests/run-reconcile.sh + fixtures (neutral-named): 20/20;
recursive-coherence T1 reds if the engine reads the Index (teeth).
- skills/reconcile/SKILL.md: thin orchestration + A/B/C write-back gate,
honest limits (lexical deferrals, contradictions surfaced not asserted).
- CLAUDE.md: Skill routing line.
Founding principle: never trust a declarative source as an oracle — the
skill practices what it preaches (tested). Built via writing-skills TDD.

/usr/bin/grep, watch the RED go red. 4th command-assumption miss this session →

Pass-D index hygiene (LRN-055): the Index tables had drifted — 34 body entries
present but missing their Index row (decisions 11, learnings 21, blockers 2; evals
clean). All pre-existing, from before the coupled-capitalize machinery (BDR-034)
that keeps new entries indexed. Composed each row from its entry (decisions/blockers:
title/date/status; learnings: heading title as Pattern + condensed future-application
as Applies-to — the 5 awk-missed ones re-read from the body, 4 corrected a nuance the
title alone dropped). Inserted in ID-sorted slots. STEP-4 verify: zero MISSING/ORPHAN.
Also moved one pre-existing out-of-order row: LRN-021 (stranded at the LRN-008/009
boundary) -> its sorted slot between LRN-020 and LRN-022. Index now 100% ID-sorted.

RED-7 (example-priming): the STEP-2 worked example named live IDs (LRN-014 +
LRN-016) and modeled merging them — but they are complementary (header-ids vs
checkbox-CSS), a merge the skill's own rule forbids. Live IDs in an example prime
the skill to act on those exact entries on real data. Fictionalized the whole
STEP-2 example to 9xx IDs (cannot match a live registry); the merge example now
models a same-concept merge. Closed by a DETERMINISTIC test (run-deterministic.sh
RED-7: the example must carry only 9xx ids) per LRN-046, not a flaky behavioral
fixture. The test caught its own ugrep false-green first (a leading-dash pattern
parsed as an option) — fixed via /usr/bin/grep, the same dodge the skill's verify
already uses at line 189.
RED-8 (added-negation inversion): re-reviewed, consciously accepted as a documented
limit in BACKLOG — remote (compression subtracts tokens), and an FP-safe increase
check is non-trivial (needs the HEAD entry-id set to exclude legit new/merged 0->N);
a noisy guard is worse than the honest limit on a destructive skill (LRN-047).

- BLK-011 → resolved by REMOVAL (not by committing the orphan), with the TRUE
reason engraved: speculatively auto-bootstrapping an unused multi-session engine
at project creation is bad on its own terms. The initial "redundant with TODO"
framing is explicitly marked WRONG (gsd >> roadmap; TODO != gsd ROADMAP) — a
false reason that won't mislead a future reader. Reasoning trace kept: both
premises refuted on read, conclusion held for the stronger reason.
- LRN-072 — a stranded-artifact bug can be fixed by NOT creating the artifact
(negative diff), not by plumbing its commit; before building machinery, ask if
the PRODUCING step is wanted. Speculative-at-creation -> remove; deliberate-on-
demand -> keep. Family: BLK-010, BLK-011, BDR-036.
- journal 2026-06-29 (cont. 2) + TODO: BLK-011 line flipped, chantier section,
MINOR-gate FINISH marked merged. Index rows updated (blockers + learnings).

STEP 12 ran `gsd init` AFTER FINISH, creating ROADMAP.md + .gsd/ in the working
tree once the merge had already integrated committed history only — so the
artifacts stranded outside the merge/PR (BLK-011, 3rd post-FINISH artifact after
memory + docs).
Resolved by REMOVAL, not by plumbing a commit: STEP 12 speculatively bootstrapped
a heavy multi-session engine (state machine / crash recovery / cost tracking /
parallel workers) that is opt-in and rarely used. Deleting the producer means the
orphan is never created — a negative diff beats building a gsd-commit helper for an
artifact nobody commits to using.
Deliberate GSD use is untouched: initializable on-demand (`/onboard add gsd`, or
`gsd init` in a terminal), still recommended by plugin-advisor, still read by
/status. init-project is now an 11-step pipeline.
Coherence sweep (the "test" for a removal): zero dangling STEP-12 refs — header
12->11-step, the STEP 10c note, and 4 USAGE.md worked-example references all updated
to on-demand init.

(1) lib/doc-shape.sh — deterministic shape oracle re-checks each LLM-classified
MINOR patch before the silent auto-commit; a shape-suspect patch (added heading
/ oversize / new file / non-doc) escalates to the EXISTING SIGNIFICANT gate.
Genuine MINOR still auto-commits (zero friction, BDR-036 preserved). A structural
floor under the LLM call, not a semantic SIGNIFICANT-detector (BDR-040).
(2) lib/doc-commit.sh — guard the commit itself: a rejected git commit (pre-commit
hook / protected branch / signing) now fails loud with exit 5 + empty stdout,
instead of a false "committed" + the previous HEAD's hash + exit 0 that left docs
silently uncommitted (LRN-071, 3rd occurrence of the swallowed-commit pattern
after LRN-066 and LRN-068/BLK-012).
Wired doc-syncer STEP A4 (whole-set escalation: no=revert all, select=keep subset)
+ doc-commit.md (rc-5 consumer row + ACKNOWLEDGMENTS coherence).
TDD RED->GREEN: run-doc-commit.sh 32/32, run-doc-shape.sh 19/19, behavioral C/D.
shellcheck clean. Branch-guard (3) deferred.

Move submodule.skills-external/gstack.ignore=dirty from per-clone .git/config into committed .gitmodules so all clones inherit it. Preserves the BLK-008 Playwright 1.61 bump (bun.lock+package.json stay dirty by design) — only the IGNORE moves, not the content. .gitmodules ignore verified honored standalone (git 2.53).
/capitalize + /close predated lib/capitalize-commit.md and never called it, so
a standalone flush left memory written but uncommitted (BDR-037). Add STEP 5B:
after the content gate (STEP 3) approves entries and STEP 5 writes the journal,
commit them surgically via memory-commit.sh — same one-liner as the 6 dev flows.
/close is a thin alias, inherits it for free. Journal always writes => memory
always pending at 5B => hash non-empty by construction (only rc 3 skips).
lib/tests/run-doc-behavioral.md — in-vivo whole-chain check (twin of run-behavioral.md for memory). Scenario A: doc-syncer patches a public doc, the include commits it surgically with dangling code present (coupled + surgical). Scenario B: a forbidden .claude/ path in PATCHED_FILES → helper refuses (rc 4), nothing half-committed, offender named (fail-closed + loud). Complements the 28-assertion deterministic suite (run-doc-commit.sh).

Journal 2026-06-27. BLK-010/011 flags + the frozen plan + TODO checkmarks. BLK-011 record left at STEP 13 (append-only); only the TODO locator moved to STEP 12 (live locator vs immutable record).

Scope expansion surfaced by the Task 6 sweep (not in the original frozen plan). The 3 inline flows each ran doc-syncer at their DOC SYNC step but committed nothing — their CAPITALIZE step commits only memory (capitalize-commit's surgical scope) — so patched docs were left dirty in the working tree (milder than the orchestrator PR-strand, same class). Decider: the memory chantier (BDR-034) wired capitalize-commit into ALL flows; wiring docs only into the 2 orchestrators left an asymmetry that reads as a bug.
Each DOC SYNC step now references lib/doc-commit.md (1-line include + paragraph, mirror of the capitalize-commit reference at the CAPITALIZE step). No FINISH in an inline flow → no ordering concern; it commits the docs on the current branch and no-ops when nothing was patched (the common trivial case). Set = the 3 flows that doc-sync: commit-change has no DOC SYNC step (not wired); hotfix IS wired (its DOC SYNC is unconditional — only its CAPITALIZE is skip-by-default). We replicate a built+tested mechanism mechanically; NEW work (BLK-010/011) stays deferred.

Reorder: SYNC README moves from STEP 12 (post-FINISH) to STEP 10c (after 10b capitalize, before 11 FINISH) and gains lib/doc-commit.md; GSD 13 → 12. Final order: 10b capitalize -> 10c doc-sync -> 11 FINISH -> 12 GSD — both artifact-commits (memory, docs) land before FINISH, so they reach the merge/PR (twin of the ship-feature fix, BDR-034). Partial-fix note added: scaffold + STEP 5b bootstrap-README commit gap (BLK-010) and GSD-post-FINISH ROADMAP (BLK-011) are deliberately out of scope — separate chantiers.
Ref-coherence (the swap flips STEP 12's meaning SYNC-README -> GSD and removes 13, so refs by number must move, not just a vanishing number): PROGRESS PROTOCOL 13-step -> 12-step + STEP <N>/13 -> /12. USAGE.md: 5 refs corrected (table 12-13 -> 11-12 steps; pipeline illustration reworked so sync README shows BEFORE finish; 3 GSD-as-STEP-13 refs -> STEP 12). Each USAGE ref read individually post-swap — all were correct at 13, correct at 12 after fix, none accidentally-true/silently-false. Latent-bug check: init-project had NO stale ref from the capitalize chantier (STEP 10b was a non-shifting letter insertion, not a swap). Historical records (BDR-017 '13 steps', CHANGELOG STEP 13 GSD, BLK-011) left as-is — append-only; closing entry documents the renumber.

Reorder: DOC SYNC moves from STEP 9 (post-FINISH) to STEP 8 (pre-FINISH); FINISH → 9. doc-syncer PATCHES public docs but never commits them, and finishing-a-development-branch integrates only committed history — so on the push+PR path the patched docs were uncommitted and never reached the PR (twin of the capitalize PR-strand fix, BDR-034). STEP 8 now chains lib/doc-commit.md: surgical commit of the PATCHED_FILES, never git add -A, never .claude/ (rc 4 loud anomaly), no-op if nothing patched. Twin-chantier HTML comment removed — the twin is fixed, 'deferred' is now false.
Ref-coherence (part of the reorder — a swap flips meanings, it doesn't just drop a number): STEP 7 capitalize body refs 'STEP 8 FINISH' → 'STEP 9 FINISH' (lines 159, 189). README.md pipeline illustration completed — STEP 4-7 ends in capitalize (not 'finish'), STEP 8 = sync README, STEP 9 = finish; it had been silently wrong since e8eff7e moved DOC SYNC 8→9 without updating it, so completed rather than left accidentally-correct. Historical records (BDR-034, journal, CHANGELOG) left as-is — they said 'STEP 8' when it was true; append-only.

doc-syncer now emits PATCHED_FILES — every public-doc file created/modified this run, ONE PATH PER LINE — in both STEP 9 OUTPUT (full audit) and AUTO MODE STEP A4 (the path orchestrators call). NONE stays silent (no line → doc-commit sees empty → no-ops). Additive: detection/patching logic and the `auto-mode scope:` input contract are unchanged → callers unaffected.
Separator contract, producer↔consumer aligned + proven: newline is doc-syncer's OUTPUT format (paths carry no newlines); the agent splits on newline and passes EACH path as a SEPARATE argv element to lib/doc-commit.sh. The helper takes argv (no in-band separator) → a path with spaces survives as one argument. lib/doc-commit.md spells this out (never flatten to a space-joined string + re-split, which would mis-split a spaced path the helper then silently drops). New test T7 PROVES it on real git: 'docs/My Guide.md' → committed as one file (28/28, shellcheck clean).

lib/doc-commit.md — TAIL of the doc-sync step, twin of capitalize-commit.md. Tells an orchestrator how to commit ONLY the docs doc-syncer patched (PATCHED_FILES), surgically, BEFORE FINISH so they reach the merge/PR.
Centerpiece: a report-by-(rc, hash) table covering ALL four exits — rc 0 visible surface (files + agent-composed change summary, NOT a bare count), rc 0/empty no-op, rc 3 unsafe-state manual fallback, and rc 4 SCOPE VIOLATION relayed LOUDLY as an upstream BDR-022 anomaly (name the offender, do not swallow or hand-commit the rest — the refusal IS the alarm).
Attribution locked in 3 places: the rc 0 <one-line> summary comes from the AGENT (in-thread patch context), the helper returns only the hash — otherwise the surface degenerates to the bare count that the gate-replacement was meant to avoid. Two conscious acknowledgments inline: MINOR non-gated-by-choice (surface replaces gate); partial init-project fix linking BLK-010.

New STEP 10b (letter-suffix, no renumber): capture the greenfield's founding
decisions (stack choice + why, doctrinal exclusions, conventions) as BDRs before
STEP 11 FINISH, via lib/capitalize-commit.md. F5 filter table distinguishes
founding decision (capitalize) from scaffold detail (skip). Two explicit rules:
- No decision → no entry: trivial projects fabricate nothing; the helper no-ops.
- Founding decisions carry NO commit hash (path+date) by nature — they precede the
code, so anchoring to the scaffold commit would be a false anchor that dilutes
the meaning of hash-anchoring elsewhere. Second case where anchoring does not
apply, after a squash-merged PR.

references are valid, and the memory commit (via lib/capitalize-commit.md) lands on

Shared snippet referenced by every dev flow's capitalize step (design-gate.md
pattern). Tail of capitalize: commit the already-approved memory via

commit_memory now routes diagnostics to stderr and prints ONLY the memory-commit
short hash to stdout, so the capitalize-commit include can report it. Proven:

Foundation for the coupled-capitalize invariant (Frame 2): commit ONLY
.claude/memory + .claude/tasks, never `git add -A`. Safety lives in the
pathspec because automation removes the human diff review.
Proven on real git behavior, not assumed:
- T1/T2: dangling code (untracked or pre-staged) never embarked.
- T2-bis: `git commit -- pathspec` takes the working tree, not a stale index.
- T3 idempotent, T4 fail-closed on broken state, T5 TODO.md in scope.
_changed_paths filters to paths with real changes: `git commit -- pathspec`
aborts the whole commit on a no-match pathspec (e.g. empty .claude/tasks),
unlike `git add` which tolerates it.

(functional — activate the skill by folder name), cross-refs in
harden/seo/depth-matrix/client-handover, agent dispatch refs, README +
USAGE tables.
Confidentiality: the client-deliverable leak-guard regex
(client-handover-writer.md) now matches BOTH /web-validate and legacy
/validate, so older client docs stay covered.
Left intentionally: validator-analyzer agent name (lockstep with
subagent_type + registry), .validate-cache/ + VALIDATE.md (audit-file
family {SEO,GEO,HARDEN,CSO,VALIDATE}.md), .claude/ history (append-only),
CHANGELOG old entry (added a new "renamed" entry instead). NL trigger
keywords kept so "validate" still routes here. Third-party html-validate
untouched.

Universal global config (loaded every session): 317 -> 286 lines (-31).
- Routing: drop name-obvious lines (covered by skill descriptions), keep
non-obvious only (gstack fallbacks, cryptic names, disambiguation) +
dense catch-all. Restore plan-eng-review + validate (misleading names),
add feat/hotfix/bugfix file-count pointer.
- Design: compress + make the FILE signal explicit (UI-file edits trigger
the toolchain, not just the prompt keyword).
- graphify: densify conditional rules.
No path-scope / no externalization: user-level path-scoped rules do not
load (issue #21858, 2.1.190) -> compression is the only safe lever.

Capitalize the install-self-sufficient / gstack-on-demand session:
- BDR-030: gstack skills activated on-demand per profile, OFF by default.
- LRN-042: npx skills add / setup resolve target relative to CWD — run
from $HOME or artifacts land in the repo tree, unreachable by link.sh.
- journal 2026-06-23 line + TODO task block reconciled.

gstack stays OFF by default (no per-skill symlink in skills/, zero context
cost). enable_skill now gains a gstack branch: a skill absent from skills/
and skills-disabled/ but present in the skills-external/gstack submodule is
symlinked in on demand when a profile lists it; disable_gstack_not_in()
parks it again on an unrelated profile.
This makes `set full` (which lists 35 gstack skills) work without 35 bogus
"missing — try: bash link.sh" warnings, without abandoning the OFF-by-default
policy. The old remedy message was wrong (link.sh never creates gstack
skills) and is replaced with submodule-aware messages.

Two root causes found via the install log (install-20260623-181416.log):
A. install.sh runs link.sh BEFORE install-plugins.sh, and install-plugins
never re-linked, so npx/external skill symlinks were missing on a fresh
run. Add a final Step 10 that re-runs link.sh (idempotent), so
`make plugin`/`make install` finish with nothing left to link by hand.
B. `npx skills add` resolves its target (.agents/skills, skills-lock.json)
relative to the CWD. Run from the repo (which carries gitignored .agents/
and .claude/), skills landed in $REPO/.agents/skills instead of
$HOME/.agents/skills where link.sh looks — self-reinforcing once
$REPO/.agents exists. Run `skills add` from $HOME in both install and
update paths, and clean the stray repo-local skills dirs (gitignored,
safe to rm).

Bump 0.8.13 -> 0.8.45. Extract the SKILL.md monolith (~530 lines) into
references/ for progressive disclosure: github-and-merge, transcribe,
extraction-spec, exports, update, query, add-watch, hooks. SKILL.md now
points to each reference and loads it only on the path that needs it.
Inline fixes carried by the new version: empty-extraction guard before
any write (#1392), shrink-guard ordering so GRAPH_REPORT/analysis never
describe a graph.json that was refused (#479), root= relativization for
build/manifest parity across clones (#1361/#1417), stale-cache cleanup
and code-only semantic pre-write (#1392), edge-direction preserving
merge (#801). Adds FalkorDB export (--falkordb/--falkordb-push) and
rewrites the frontmatter description (drops the obsolete trigger: field).

Effort is set in settings.json ("effortLevel": "xhigh") — the source of
truth. The CLI alias `claude --effort max` was redundant and, worse, would
OVERRIDE settings.json (forcing max over xhigh). Step 9 no longer adds it and
now strips it (and the older CLAUDE_EFFORT env) from the shell profile if
present, cleaning orphaned comment lines.
(A dtach `cc` launcher was prototyped here and dropped — deferred to a later
sprint per the user.)

The magic check + link_env grep'd `^MAGIC_API_KEY=` on $REPO/.env, but on a
fresh machine ~/.claude/.env is often created AFTER link.sh runs, so the
repo/.env symlink (which toggle-external.sh sources) is never made — the key
looks absent though it's set, and the warning misleadingly points at
~/.claude/.env.
- install-plugins.sh: self-heal — if ~/.claude/.env exists but repo/.env is
missing, create the symlink before checking. Accurate message.
- Both: tolerate optional `export ` + leading whitespace and require a
non-empty value (regex sanity-tested), so common .env formats match.
Immediate fix for an affected machine: `make link`.

Two OS-too-new layers blocked gstack's browser on Ubuntu 26.04; handle both
from the installer so a fresh `make install` works without manual steps:
1. Playwright version — gstack pins 1.58.x which has no browser build for
ubuntu>24.04 ("does not support chromium on ubuntu26.04"). New
gstack_bump_playwright_if_unsupported() runs before ./setup: if the
pinned Playwright's support list lacks the running distro, `bun add
playwright@latest` in the submodule (1.61 supports 26.04), then ./setup's
frozen-lockfile install picks it up and rebuilds the browse binary against
it. Idempotent (skips when already supported). Edits the submodule locally
— goes dirty, reset by `git submodule update`, re-applied next install.
2. Chromium sandbox — Ubuntu 24.04+ restricts unprivileged user namespaces
via AppArmor, so Chromium aborts "No usable sandbox". Persist gstack's
documented opt-out GSTACK_CHROMIUM_NO_SANDBOX=1 to the shell profile, gated
on the exact sysctl (kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1) so it
only triggers where the restriction is active.
Verified end-to-end on Ubuntu 26.04: gstack browse drives a real page
(Navigated 200). See BDR-029 / LRN-040 / BLK-008.

The PLAYWRIGHT_HOST_PLATFORM_OVERRIDE=ubuntu24.04-x64 pin (211c7d4) made
Playwright 1.58.2 stop erroring and instead download a Chrome-for-Testing
fallback build — but that download reaches 100% and then HANGS at extraction
on Ubuntu 26.04 (reproduced on a real machine + here: chrome binary never
materializes, no headless-shell download starts). Net effect: the override
turned a 0.5s fast-fail into an indefinite hang that blocks `make install` /
`make plugin` (user had to Ctrl+C).
Reverting restores the original behavior: gstack's ./setup fast-fails the
browser install (non-fatal — gstack is OFF by default, browser only needed
for /browse, /qa, screenshots) and the install completes. Replaced the code
with a NOTE explaining the dead end. Real fix is upstream: gstack bumping
Playwright to a version that supports the OS. See BLK-008.

Three paths are (re)generated by every install/update and should never be
committed:
- skills-external/frontend-design/ — install-plugins.sh Step 8b and
update-all.sh cp the latest SKILL.md from the example-skills plugin cache
over it, so it churned a diff each time Anthropic shipped an update. The
source is always re-synced (example-skills is always installed), so no
vendored copy is needed.
- .agents/ and skills-lock.json — `npx skills add` (darwin-skill) installs
at project scope into the repo. Our own agents live in agents/ (no dot)
and stay tracked; the dotted pollution dir is anchored-ignored (/.agents/).

graphify's installer rewrites CLAUDE.md + .claude/settings.json (clobbers
the curated graphify section, drops the "This repo only" header, injects
aggressive MANDATORY pre-tool hooks) and `claude plugin install` flips
enable-states in settings.json. These 3 files are hand-curated, never
installer-owned.
Snapshot them at the top of install-plugins.sh and restore on EXIT (trap)
so `make install` / `make plugin` leaves them exactly as found. Pre-existing
local edits are preserved; only installer drift is undone. Verified with an
isolated drift→restore test. update-all.sh needs no guard — it only runs
`claude plugin update` (no enable flips) and never re-runs graphify's
CLAUDE.md/settings integration.

jq is used 18+ times in always-on hooks (statusline.sh, rtk-rewrite.sh)
but was never installed by any script — it only worked because dev
machines happened to have it; a bare machine breaks at hook-run time.
Add it to Step 1 (same inline pattern as the other prereqs) and to
doctor.sh at fail level.

Ubuntu 26.04 (and any release newer than 24.04) isn't in Playwright
1.58.2's supported-build list, so gstack's ./setup aborted with
"Playwright does not support chromium on ubuntu26.04-x64".
Add gated helper playwright_platform_override() (ubuntu >24.04 → echoes
ubuntu24.04-<arch>, else nothing). Export PLAYWRIGHT_HOST_PLATFORM_OVERRIDE
before gstack ./setup (install-time download) and persist it to the shell
profile (runtime browser launch). Playwright then pulls a compatible
Chrome-for-Testing fallback build instead of erroring.
Verified on Ubuntu 26.04: override emitted correctly (no var leak), CfT
build resolves all shared libs (ldd) and renders headless. No submodule
edits — purely an env pin from the wrapper.

Fresh machine had no npm → install.sh err-exited before the Claude Code
CLI install could run. Instead of aborting, bootstrap the current LTS via
nvm (v0.39.7) → `nvm install --lts` when node or npm is absent. Keeps the
>=18 floor + friendly messages on hard failure.
Replaces the reverted lib/install-prereqs.sh centralization with the
minimal targeted fix.

BDR-025: design gate = profile-based (tier=profil, GATE-BLOCK allowlist,
magic required-but-manual, unknown->fail-visible exit 11, claude resolved via
ensure_claude_on_path since command -v depends on PATH carrying nvm bin). Alts
rejected: hardcoded tier->tools, advisory magic, strict fail-closed.
BDR-026: secret source-of-truth in ~/.claude/.env via repo/.env symlink;
source follows link -> zero read-path change; link_env defensive.
LRN-037: verify the load-bearing scenario on the real subject in real context,
not a stub/logic — every refutation this chantier came from execution.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Real cause of the gate's 'claude absent'/unknown: command -v claude needs the
nvm node bin on PATH; a sanitized-PATH hook/subshell or a version-pinned nvm
path loses it. NOT the alias (refuted: binary on inherited PATH makes command
-v succeed), NOT exit 11 (that's the mitigation). Fix = ensure_claude_on_path.

Stale "Copy to .env" comment updated to the inverted layout: the real key
lives in ~/.claude/.env and link.sh symlinks repo/.env to it. Comment only;
the MAGIC_API_KEY placeholder is unchanged.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The "unknown -> exit 11" path triggers when `command -v claude` fails. Root
cause is NOT the interactive alias (claude->dtach_claude) not surviving the
subshell — that's true but harmless: the real binary is on the inherited PATH,
so `command -v` finds it in a normal `bash script.sh` (proven: toggle-external
and the gate both resolve claude). The actual lever is PATH carrying the nvm
node bin. A skill/hook that shells the gate out with a sanitized PATH, or a node
upgrade moving the version-pinned nvm path, loses it.
ensure_claude_on_path(): if `command -v claude` already resolves, do nothing;
else probe known install dirs (~/.claude/local, ~/.local/bin, /usr/local/bin)
and the nvm glob, prepending the bin dir — which carries BOTH claude and its
node runtime (claude's shebang needs node, same dir). nvm keeps old versions
after an upgrade, so pick the newest that ships claude via sort -V, not the
first glob match. If nothing resolves, command -v still fails -> unknown ->
exit 11 (fail-visible net stays).
Verified: shellcheck clean; normal PATH -> READY exit 0 (function returns early,
no regression); PATH=/usr/bin:/bin (sanitized hook) -> now resolves claude via
the nvm glob and reports REAL magic state (READY exit 0), where before the fix
it was exit 11 unknown.

The gate's remedy is now /profile design (not an atomic ui-ux-pro-max toggle),
but several callers still described the old "ask user to activate ui-ux-pro-max"
behavior. Repoint the prose — the `Follow lib/design-gate.md` pointers stayed
valid (the gate was extended in place), so only descriptions change:
- agents/feater.md, hotfixer.md, bugfixer.md (STEP 0.5/1.5 gate bullet):
signals found → run design-tool-gate.sh; if INCOMPLETE → /profile design.
- agents/feater.md rule 6: trigger is "design toolchain incomplete", not
"ui-ux-pro-max inactive".
- agents/plugin-advisor.md: gate points at /profile design when the toolchain
is incomplete.
- skills/feat/test-prompts.json (id 2): expected behavior updated; still valid JSON.
No logic change — descriptions only, aligned with the profile-based gate.
