Bo bb8d747d3a feat(ao): add harness-neutral bead ports (#810)
## Summary
- add harness-neutral BR/git ports: `ao ready`, `ao close ...`, and bare
`ao claim <id>` while preserving `ao claim bind/list`
- keep top-level gate commands from #809 as the shared gate surface; `ao
close` reuses the typed commit-persist close path and returns success
when the ledger already proves the bead is closed
- regenerate command docs, command surface inventory, matrix counts, and
registry metadata

## Validation
- `go test ./cmd/ao -run TestTick -count=1`
- `bash scripts/regen-all.sh && bash scripts/regen-all.sh --check`
- `go test ./cmd/ao -count=1`
- `go vet ./...`
- `go test ./... -count=1 -short`
- `git diff --check`
- `/tmp/ao-cp-ljp ready` from `/Users/bo/dev/control-plane` returned
`state_source=br`, `ready_count=20`, and counts `{ready:20, open:30,
in_progress:1, closed:19}`
- `/tmp/ao-cp-ljp claim cp-ljp` from `/Users/bo/dev/control-plane`
succeeded and did not dirty the Git ledger
- `PRE_PUSH_SKIP_MKDOCS=1 bash scripts/pre-push-gate.sh --fast` passed;
warning-only executable-spec drift remains pre-existing (`scenarios
--lint`, `trace --orphans`)

Bo a617df3028 feat(ao): expose membrane gate aliases (#809)
## Summary
- expose the membrane gate surfaces as top-level `ao` aliases:
`verdict-gate`, `council-gate`, `install-guards`, `guard-status`, and
`chaos-test`
- keep the existing `ao tick ...` implementation as the shared backend,
so the shell-oracle port and public aliases cannot drift
- regenerate CLI command docs, surface inventory, matrix counts, and
registry metadata

## Validation
- `go test ./cmd/ao -run TestTick -count=1`
- `bash scripts/check-cmdao-surface-parity.sh --write-surface`
- `bash scripts/regen-all.sh --check`
- `go test ./cmd/ao -count=1`
- `go vet ./...`
- `go test ./... -count=1 -short`
- `/tmp/ao-cp-ltj chaos-test` from `/Users/bo/dev/control-plane` =>
`SMOKE PASS`
- `./tick.sh smoke` from `/Users/bo/dev/control-plane` => `SMOKE PASS`
- top-level alias exit matrix from `/Users/bo/dev/control-plane`:
`council-gate` mixed => 8, unverified => 6
- `PRE_PUSH_SKIP_MKDOCS=1 bash scripts/pre-push-gate.sh --fast` passed;
warning-only executable-spec drift remains pre-existing (`scenarios
--lint`, `trace --orphans`)

Bo 9ddffab410 feat(ao): add typed tick oracle port (#808)
## Summary
- add `ao tick` as a typed Go port of the control-plane tick oracle
- preserve BR/git boundaries for next/status/claim/reopen/close and port
verdict/council/guard/smoke behavior
- update generated command inventory, registry, CLI docs, and
command-surface fixtures

## Validation
- cd cli && go test ./cmd/ao -run TestTick -count=1
- cd cli && go test ./cmd/ao -count=1
- cd cli && go vet ./...
- cd cli && go test ./... -count=1 -short
- bash scripts/check-cmdao-surface-parity.sh
- bash scripts/regen-all.sh --check
- git diff --check
- PRE_PUSH_SKIP_MKDOCS=1 bash scripts/pre-push-gate.sh --fast
- built /tmp/ao-cp7k6 and compared against
/Users/bo/dev/control-plane/tick.sh for verdict-gate, council-gate,
next; `ao tick smoke` returned SMOKE PASS

Note: fast pre-push gate still reports existing warn-only
executable-spec drift for scenarios --lint and trace --orphans.

Bo 6d5d111faf feat(skills): land four-vendor skill corpus (#803)
## Summary
- Lands the AgentOps skill corpus across source and Codex wrappers,

generated manifests/catalogs.
- Normalizes local next-work queue enum drift and fixes shellcheck in
alias-collision validation.

Bo b84dcf3ca2 docs(hookless): close cold-start orientation drift (soc-qh2g1 #cold-start-orientation-coherence) (#795)
## Summary

Close the hookless cold-start orientation gap for `soc-qh2g1` by making
the live startup docs and skills point at explicit `ao session
bootstrap` plus pulled context (`ao inject` / `ao lookup`) instead of
hidden SessionStart behavior.

## Changes

- Reframes live docs that still implied automatic startup/handoff
injection to the hookless explicit-command path.
- Updates source and Codex skill mirrors for `quickstart`, `inject`,
`using-agentops`, `recover`, `bug-hunt`, and `session-bootstrap`.
- Expands the cold-start and docs drift gates so `SessionStart hook`,
`startup hooks`, and `auto-inject ... hook` promises fail unless
explicitly hedged as opt-in, removed, or historical.
- Refreshes scoped Codex skill hashes for the touched mirrors.

## Test plan

- [x] `bash scripts/check-hookless-cold-start.sh`
- [x] `bash scripts/check-doc-hooks-drift.sh`
- [x] `bats tests/scripts/check-hookless-cold-start.bats

Bo 3bab897009 test(cli): migrate dedup_test.go to t.Chdir + lock isolation ratchet 163->151 (ag-4nif #dedup-tchdir) (#773)
## What

Migrate `dedup_test.go`'s 6 manual `origDir, _ := os.Getwd();
os.Chdir(tmp); defer os.Chdir(origDir)` blocks to Go 1.20+
`t.Chdir(tmp)` — auto-restores cwd **and** refuses `t.Parallel`,
pre-empting the latent flake class flagged by **ag-4nif** / **ag-k38x**
(raw forms mutate process-global cwd). No `t.Parallel` in the file;
behavior-preserving.

Each block held two `os.Chdir(` references (the call + the defer
restore), so 6 blocks drop the repo-wide test-isolation count by **12
(163→151)**. I lowered `BASELINE_CHDIR` in
`scripts/check-test-isolation.sh` to **lock the gain** (the ratchet is
only-goes-down).

## Scope / no-collision note

`os.Chdir` only. The 3 redundant `os.Setenv` restores in
`rpi_reliability_test.go` are **already handled by the open PR #772
(ag-k38x)** — I deliberately do **not** touch that file here, to avoid a
merge collision (an earlier draft of this branch did; it was reverted).
**ag-k38x is the canonical tracker; ag-4nif/ag-y4ac are duplicates** —
worth closing as dup-of-ag-k38x during triage.

## Evidence

```
bash scripts/check-test-isolation.sh        # PASS (os.Chdir=151/151, os.Setenv=22/22)
cd cli
go build ./...                              # OK

gofmt -l                                     # clean
```

Net: −19 / +8 across `dedup_test.go` + the ratchet baseline.

Bo 69b8ba0a4f feat(liveness): add inbound admission core (ag-c3c7) (#757)
## Summary
- Add a substrate-neutral inbound admission primitive in
`cli/internal/liveness`.
- Gate inbound work messages by source class and intent: authenticated
operator directives may execute; peer/other-host/tmux directives are
downgraded to proposals and cannot execute reflexively.
- Require ratified quorum authority for quorum-sourced directives, with
cross-model ACK verification for significant actions.
- Extend the liveness composition test so the inbound admission path
composes with role, quorum, judge, and lease primitives.

## Validation
- `go test ./internal/liveness -count=1`
- `go test ./...` from `cli/`
- `PRE_PUSH_FAIL_FAST=false bash scripts/pre-push-gate.sh` ran and
blocked on existing repo/environment gates:
- `test-fixture parity break`: missing pre-push helper Bats stubs for
`scripts/check-author-judge-convergence.sh` and
`scripts/gc-stale-worktrees.sh`
- `worktree disposition`: canonical root `/home/boful/dev/agentops` has
pre-existing dirty/untracked operator state
- `goals validate`: reported `open GOALS.md: no such file or directory`
despite `GOALS.md` existing in this worktree
- `corpus freshness`: newest corpus snapshot is 8d old, over the 7d
threshold
- `contract canaries`: distribution README install-line drift and
pre-push governance Bats failure

Branch-specific gate sections passed, including `go build`, `go vet`,
changed-scope `go test -race`, command/test pairing, mutation-route
guard, author!=judge convergence, and the full `cli` Go test suite
above.

## Review
Cross-model review required before merge. This is not self-graded.

Bo 2dbc575ea3 docs(agent-native): add Claude + Codex/NTM runtime reference recipes (ag-ok755 #agent-native-runtime-refs) (#789)
## What

Completes ag-ok755's remaining acceptance: the `agent-native` skill
shipped doctrine-only, missing the two runtime how-to references the
bead requires (linked from SKILL.md per the heal `--strict` rule).

- `references/managed-agents-runtime.md` — **Claude path**: Anthropic
Managed Agents + Agent SDK + self-hosted sandbox. Carries the
three-phase recipe (bundle → expose `ao` → CI-gate), the
planned-mechanism status for `ao agent bundle` (ag-jspr) / `ao mcp
serve` (ag-higd), and the ZDR / no-fork / CI-is-the-gate boundaries.
- `references/codex-ntm-runtime.md` — **Codex/NTM path**: tmux pane
swarms + agent-mail + direct `ao` shell calls (no Managed Agents API),
with the Claude→Codex primitive substitution table.
- Both linked from `SKILL.md` (runtime-recipes pointer + See Also).
- Regenerated derived artifacts: skills-codex source-hash
manifest/marker (source tree changed) and `registry.json`
reference_count (1→3).

## Scope decision

Catalog treatment for `agent-native` stays **`parity_only`** — the codex
artifact is manual-maintained and already tailored (it has a dedicated
Codex/NTM section), and the bespoke override-dir flip is a deliberate
operator TODO in `skills-codex-overrides/catalog.json`. Not
auto-flipping that here (operator judgment).

## Gates run (all green, in-worktree)

- `heal.sh --strict skills/agent-native` — all references linked
- All 7 codex-parity checks: parity audit, generated-artifacts (`--scope
head`), backbone-prompts, override-coverage, runtime-sections,
lifecycle-guards, parity-drift
- `generate-registry.sh --check` — up to date
- `markdownlint-cli2` on all changed/new files — 0 errors

Bo def8fc9bd4 chore(doctor): drop dead ao agentopsd/GasCity strings (ag-9hhm #dead-text-removed-surfaces) (#793)
## What

Two dead-text remnants pointed operators at **retired surfaces**
(discovered in the 2026-06-03 feature-map analysis). Pure string hygiene
— no behavior change.

1. **`cli/internal/doctor/fix_bridges.go`** — `openclawHealthReport` and
`snapshotStaleReport` instructed `ao agentopsd start/status/restart` and
`ao agentopsd projection rebuild --consumer openclaw`. The in-repo
daemon was **removed (ADR-0009)** and no such command exists. Reworded
to: bring the OpenClaw daemon up out-of-band / regenerate the projection
from the out-of-session substrate, naming the daemon removal instead of
a dead command. (Also fixed two stale code comments naming `agentopsd`.)
2. **`cli/cmd/ao/forge.go:43`** — the `--legacy-local-llm` deprecation
warning named *"AgentWorker/GasCity-backed Codex or Claude workers"*.
Gas City was pruned (ag-124p) and the GasCity worker adapter removed.
Reworded to point at a **Dream worker queue** (consistent with the
existing language elsewhere in `forge.go`).

## Why

These strings mislead operators toward commands/substrates that no
longer exist; the `gc`/`agentopsd` prune was code-clean but the
user-facing strings survived.

## Verification

- `gofmt` clean; `go build ./...`; `go vet ./internal/doctor/ ./cmd/ao/`
- `go test ./internal/doctor/` → 76 passed; `go test ./cmd/ao/ -run
Forge` → 379 passed
- `git grep "ao agentopsd"` / `GasCity` over live (non-test) code in
touched files → empty
- Updated the two doctor tests that asserted the old substrings.

Bo 3df599df75 fix(ao): case-insensitive dedup in pool_ingest candidate IDs (soc-xn5s #dedup-case-insensitive) (#792)
## What

`buildCandidateFromLearningBlock` (cli/cmd/ao/pool_ingest.go) dedups the
three ID
components (`base`, `sessionHint`, `learningID`). `learningID` is
lowercased before
the check, but `base`/`sessionHint` keep their source-filename case. So
any source
filename with an uppercase character (e.g.
`2026-04-30-fix20260430T090800-1.md`)
**skipped** the `strings.Contains` dedup branch and produced a
**doubled** candidate ID:

```
pend-2026-04-30-fix20260430t090800-1-ag-test-fix20260430t090800-1   (id appears twice)
```

The final ID is lowercased by `Slugify` anyway, so the comparisons
should be
case-insensitive. Fix normalizes both sides of the equality/`Contains`
checks for
`base`↔`sessionHint` and `joined`↔`learningID`.

## Why it mattered

Verified live 2026-04-30 (soc-xn5s): a mixed-case source filename
re-amplified its
ID on each close-loop pass. Production residue was all-lowercase so
unaffected, but
the edge case remained uncovered.

## Test

Two regression subtests in
`TestPoolIngest_buildCandidateFromLearningBlock` reproduce
the exact doubled ID and the mixed-case session-hint duplication. Both
fail against the
old code, pass with the fix:

```
--- FAIL .../mixed-case_filename_does_not_double_the_learning_id
    learning id token "fix20260430t090800-1" appears 2 times ... want exactly 1
--- FAIL .../mixed-case_session_hint_matching_base_is_not_appended
    session hint token appears 2 times ... want exactly 1
```

`go build ./...`, `go vet ./cmd/ao/`, `gofmt -l` all clean.

Bo 93bc54d401 fix(goals): drop unresolved heuristic scenario claims to kill prose false positives (soc-artx7 #orphans-prose-false-positive) (#779)
## What

`ao goals trace --orphans` reported **7 `broken_bead_scenario_claim`
warnings that were false positives** — bead-description prose mis-read
as scenario references. All 7 were multi-segment `auto-` slugs
(`auto-merge-update-branch`, `auto-safe-pull`, `auto-picks-up`,
`auto-regen-on-skill-change`, …) that match the heuristic free-text
token grammar but are lexically **indistinguishable** from genuine
auto-generated scenario IDs like `auto-nightly-evolution-dry-run`. No
regex can separate them — the only real discriminator is **resolution**
(does the token name an actual `spec/scenarios/<id>.json` or
`.agents/holdout/<id>.json` file?).

## Fix

`emitBeadClaimEdges` now drops heuristic (free-text) claims that resolve
to no scenario file *before* emitting an edge: a token matching the slug
grammar but naming no real scenario is prose, not a claim. This aligns
with ADR-0005 §4.1 — **only explicit `Scenarios:`-line claims are
defects.** Explicit claims are untouched: a broken explicit link stays
an **error**.

## Evidence (live repo, before → after)

| class | old | fixed |
|---|---|---|
| `broken_bead_scenario_claim` | **7** | **0** |
| `no_learning_yield` | 15 | 15 |
| `scenario_no_bead_claim` | 14 | 14 |

Surgical: only the 7 prose false positives drop; every other warning
class is unchanged. Acceptance ("`ao goals trace --orphans` returns 0
`broken_bead_scenario_claim` on current main, no false positives from
bead prose") met. This unblocks promoting `trace --orphans` to a
required gate.

## Tests

- `go test ./internal/goalstrace/...` — 78 pass (incl. new
`TestWalk_MultiSegmentProseAutoSlugProducesNoClaim` regression).
- Existing heuristic/explicit contract tests stay green; `gofmt`/`go
vet` clean.

Bo 9af54d589a feat(corpus): per-session corpus-reuse receipt at session close (ag-469h #corpus-reuse-receipt) (#778)
## What

Makes the knowledge-flywheel moat **felt**. `ao session close` now
renders a per-session **corpus-reuse receipt**: a `Reused: N` table line
plus a loud `♻ Compounding: reused N prior learnings (titles…); corpus
now X entries` line. Closes the perception gap behind bead **ag-469h** —
users perceive the WRITE tax every session but never the READ payoff, so
they churn before the aha.

## How

- `computeReuseReceipt(cwd, sessionID)` reads
`.agents/ao/citations.jsonl` (via `ratchet.LoadCitations`), filters to
the closing session, dedupes by canonical artifact path, and excludes
`reference` (manual-pointer) citations — counting only
`retrieved`/`applied` read-payoffs.
- Corpus size counts durable `.md` under `.agents/{learnings,patterns}`.
- New `SessionCloseResult` fields
`Reused`/`ReusedTitles`/`CorpusEntries` (all `omitempty`, so JSON output
is backward-compatible).
- Best-effort: a missing ledger or corpus yields a zero receipt and
never fails the close. Cold runs print nothing.
- No new CLI command (avoids the surface-matrix canary churn documented
in ag-lkxx) — purely additive output on an existing command.

## Test

`cli/cmd/ao/session_close_receipt_test.go` — dedup, cross-session
isolation, reference-exclusion, empty/no-ledger zero-receipt,
singular-noun, cold-run silence, date-prefix title stripping, and
`printCloseTable` integration. Full `cmd/ao` suite green (`go test`/`go
vet`/`gofmt` clean).

Bo bc9a846dbd feat(eval): ao eval outcomes ingest --manifest-out emits eval-run.v1 manifest (ag-fy6e #manifest-out-eval-run) (#774)
## What

Adds `--manifest-out <dir>` (+ `--run-id`) to `ao eval outcomes ingest`.
When set, ingest **also** writes `<dir>/<run-id>/manifest.json`
conforming to `schemas/eval-run.v1.schema.json`, so the existing verdict
pipeline (`docs/contracts/eval-verdict-pipeline.md`) can pick it up and
feed the Knowledge Flywheel — closing the **Outcomes→Flywheel loop** for
the eval-run.v1 surface. Bead: **ag-fy6e**.

## How

- New file `cli/cmd/ao/eval_outcomes_manifest.go` (diversifies off
`eval_outcomes_ingest.go`); ingest.go only wires the thin flag.
- Reuses the existing `eval.RunRecord` struct rather than hand-rolling
the schema shape.
- Band mapping: `PASS→{status:pass, verdict:pass}`, `FAIL→{fail, fail}`,
`WARN→{inconclusive, advisory}`.
- `dimension_scores` filtered to the 7 schema-permitted keys (foreign
criterion dropped; `minProperties:1` guarded by synthesizing
`correctness=aggregate`).
- Out-of-process grade → honest schema-valid stubs for
`git`/`runtime`/`environment` + a `notes` provenance entry.

## Deviation from bead text (source-of-truth precedence)

The bead said `status=complete`, but that value belongs to the **other**
SCHEMA.md run-manifest. eval-run.v1's `status` enum is
`pass/fail/error/skipped/inconclusive` — no `complete` member — so this
follows the schema (per CLAUDE.md precedence: executable contracts >
narrative).

## Scope boundary (honest)

This delivers **only** the eval-run.v1 emission named in the bead's
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA. The downstream `eval-verdict-compiler.sh` /
SCHEMA.md run-manifest path (rc3 struct verdict + holdout-sensitive
`ground_truth_ref/hash`) remains **BLOCKED** on the external compiler
contract + a holdout-safety decision, per the bead's own 2026-05-30
SCOUT CORRECTION. eval-run.v1 carries no holdout-sensitive fields, so
that blocker does not apply to this slice. Bead left open for the
compiler-path follow-up.

## Verification

- `go build ./... && go vet ./cmd/ao/` clean
- 77 eval/outcomes tests pass (`go test ./cmd/ao/ -run 'Eval|Outcomes'`)
- Real CLI run writes a manifest that validates against
`eval-run.v1.schema.json` via python `jsonschema`
- `cli/docs/COMMANDS.md` regenerated for the two new flags

Bo 7265fda1b1 chore(test): migrate redundant os.Setenv to t.Setenv; lower isolation ratchet 22->12 (ag-k38x #bulk-migration-setenv) (#772)
## What

Advances the test-isolation ratchet (`scripts/check-test-isolation.sh`,
shipped in #699) by driving the `os.Setenv` baseline from **22 → 12**.
Pure test-hygiene; no production-code change.

`t.Setenv` auto-restores on cleanup **and** fails fast under
`t.Parallel` — the raw `os.Setenv` form is the latent-flake landmine the
ratchet exists to retire (cf. ag-jfzs).

## Sites migrated (10 eliminated)

| File | Δ | How |
|---|---|---|
| `internal/config/config_test.go` | -6 | Collapse the `origX :=
os.Getenv(...)` + `defer os.Setenv(... restore)` block into 3×
`t.Setenv` |
| `internal/goals/measure_test.go` | -1 | Delete the redundant
`origPath`/`defer os.Setenv` — the existing `t.Setenv("PATH","")`
already auto-restores |
| `cmd/ao/rpi_reliability_test.go` | -3 | Delete 3 redundant
restore-defers wrapped around existing `t.Setenv` calls |

## The remaining 12 are intentional (not migratable)

Bo ba2d0380b2 feat(eval): holdout-leak key-name backstop for outcomes compile (ag-uux93 #holdout-key-guard) (#770)
## What

Adds the key-name leak backstop that **ag-uux93** explicitly calls for
on `ao eval outcomes compile`: re-parse the emitted Outcomes rubric
payload and refuse any object key (at any depth) matching
`/target|ground_truth|expected_output|answer/i`.

## Why

The compile command itself already shipped (under sibling **ag-hdqu0** /
#601) with a value-based guard (`ContainsAny` scans for known holdout
*values* — layer 3). ag-uux93 additionally requires a **structural
key-name** backstop: "re-parse the emitted payload and assert no key
matches `/target |ground_truth|expected_output|answer/i`; abort +
non-zero exit if found."

This is **additive defense-in-depth** at a load-bearing boundary —
Managed Agents are not ZDR, so a holdout leak across the cloud boundary
is permanent. The allowlisted `Rubric` struct can't carry such a key
today; the guard *pins that invariant* so a future field that smuggles
ground truth fails closed instead of leaking silently.

## Changes

- `evalsubstrate.ScanForbiddenKeys(payload []byte)` — walks decoded JSON
for leak keys at any nesting depth
- `Rubric.HasForbiddenKey()` — marshals + scans (mirrors the existing
`ContainsAny`)
- Wired into `compileOutcomesRubric` after the value-scan, before return
(structured non-zero error on hit)
- Unit tests: positive (nested / case-insensitive / substring), clean
rubric, unparseable input, allowlist-by-construction invariant

## Verification

`cd cli && go build ./... && go vet ./... && go test` — build + vet
clean; evalsubstrate 92 pass, cmd/ao outcomes/rubric 30 pass; gofmt
clean.

## Scope note for maintainer

ag-uux93's spec also describes a `--suite/--split/--out` **flag
interface** reading locked YAML from `~/.agents/evals/`. The shipped
#601 command deliberately took a **JSON-input** design (`ao eval
outcomes compile <input.json>`) instead. I did **not** unilaterally
rewrite that working interface in an unattended tick — that's an
intentional design fork needing your call. Queued to `bo-queue`. This PR
closes only the `#holdout-key-guard` scenario.

Bo 22543558a4 refactor(cli): convert beads verdict os.Exit calls to typed exit-error (ag-x22j #beads-exit-as-typed-error) (#769)
## What

`ao beads verify|lint|audit` used exit-code-as-verdict but signalled it
by calling `os.Exit(1)` **inside** RunE. `os.Exit` skips deferred
cleanup (temp files, lock release) and kills the test binary, so the
verdict branches were untestable.

This converts the 3 sites to return a typed `*beadsExitError`, which
`Execute()` maps to the process exit code at the single root exit point
— the established CLI idiom (mirrors `gateExitError` in `validate.go`
and `doctorExitError` in `doctor_surface.go`).

## Sites converted
- `runBeadsVerify` (`beads.go`) — stale citations → exit 1
- `runBeadsLint` (`beads.go`) — stale beads → exit 1
- `runBeadsAudit` (`beads_audit_cluster.go`) — `--strict` + flagged →
exit 1

## How
- New `beadsExitError{code}` type (`Error()` empty, `ExitCode()`), since
the verdict text already went to stdout.
- The returning RunE sets `cmd.SilenceErrors` (nil-guarded) so cobra
prints no spurious `Error:` line; **genuine** errors returned elsewhere
in those commands still print normally.
- `Execute()` gains a `beadsExitError` branch before the generic
fallback.

## Evidence
- `cli/cmd/ao/beads_exit_test.go` — pins the verdict contract: verify +
lint stale → `*beadsExitError` exit 1 + `SilenceErrors`; clean → nil;
nil-cmd no panic.
- `cd cli && go build ./... && go vet ./cmd/ao/` clean; `gofmt -l`
clean.
- Full `go test ./cmd/ao/` → **9314 passed**.

## Bead

Bo 5f69150169 test(cli): migrate curate_test.go os.Chdir to t.Chdir (ag-y4ac #curate-tchdir-w2) (#786)
## What
Collapse 7 identical `os.Getwd()` + `os.Chdir(tmpDir)` +
`t.Cleanup(restore)` blocks in `cli/cmd/ao/curate_test.go` to
`t.Chdir(tmpDir)`. Bare downstream `err =` first-uses promoted to `err
:=` (the removed block held the only function-scope `err`).

## Why
`t.Chdir` auto-restores cwd on cleanup **and** refuses to run under
`t.Parallel` — pre-empting the process-global-cwd flake class (cf.
ag-jfzs). This is one wave of the ag-k38x / ag-y4ac test-isolation sweep
(`finish-the-job`: ~133 sites already use the safe idiom).

## Scope / collision-safety
- `os.Chdir` in `_test.go`: **163 → 149 (-14)**. `os.Setenv` untouched
(owned by in-flight setenv ratchet **PR #772**).
- **`BASELINE_CHDIR` intentionally NOT lowered** — that single line is
the contention point with in-flight **PR #772/#773**; the ratchet stays
green because count-below-baseline is a NOTE, not a failure (`149 <=
163`). A later wave locks the baseline once those settle.
- Non-overlapping with PR #772 (rpi setenv) and PR #773 (dedup_test.go
os.Chdir).

## Verification
- `gofmt -l` clean · `go build ./...` · `go vet ./cmd/ao` clean
- `go test ./cmd/ao -run TestCurate` → 14 pass
- `scripts/check-test-isolation.sh` → PASS (os.Chdir=149/163,

Bo 1601467387 chore(docs): gut dead-mechanism context poison from agent-facing docs (ag-sjz8 #gut-poison) (#764)
## What

Gut **context poison** — agent-facing docs that route a working agent at
DEAD mechanisms. This poisoned a live fleet-operating session (the bo
driver building the go-dark supervisor) into proposing `ao rpi` as a
continuity-loop worker. Found via a 5-way parallel poison fan-out.

**Scope: operational-surgical** (Bo's explicit call). Gut the
agent-facing *operational* guidance + *factual* errors; **LEAVE** the
README/`docs/3.0.md` product narrative (Gas-City-as-reference-substrate
is coherent, ADR-backed product design — a different altitude from Bo's
live fleet).

## Changes (10 files, surgical)

**Tier A — operational guidance (the poison that bit me):**
- `CLAUDE.md` Session Constraints: "route multi-phase work through `ao
rpi`" → the live substrate (NTM + MCP Agent Mail + `continuity-loop`);
`gc` reframed as optional-out-of-session, **not** the live substrate.
Kept the accurate "bridge REMOVED" + "load-bearing legacy" lines.
- `AGENTS.md`: dropped the deleted "scheduling daemon" (ADR-0009).
- `AGENTS-RUNTIME.md`: `ao rpi serve --help` → the real `ao` command
surface.

**Tier B — hookless-factual** (3.0 installs no hooks by default):
hookless banners on `ARCHITECTURE.md` + `reference.md` (surgical vs.
rewriting diagram internals); corrected SessionStart-hook prose in
`context-packet.md` + `vs-claude-flow.md`.

**Tier C — retired `/dream` shown as live:** marked retired in
`evolve`/`harvest`/`using-agentops` (compounding moved to Gas City).
`curate` **intentionally left** — its `--mode=dream` is the forward
replacement, not poison.

## Guardrails
- Does **not** claim `ao rpi` was deleted — the command still compiles
(`loop`/`phased`/`serve` exist); only its role as the *live workflow* is
corrected.
- registry.json unaffected (skill **bodies** only; `generate-registry.sh
--check` = OK).

## Evidence
`bash scripts/generate-registry.sh --check` → OK. Diff is 20 insertions
/ 16 deletions across 10 files.

Bo 8611b71f0f feat(corpus): auto-snapshot before destructive defrag prune (ag-32xk #defrag-autosnapshot) (#771)
## What

`ao defrag` now takes an **automatic, recoverable corpus snapshot**
before it applies a destructive `--prune` (anything that deletes from
`.agents/`). It reuses the same tar.gz machinery as `ao corpus
snapshot`, so an over-aggressive cleanup is always rehydratable via `ao
corpus restore`.

## Why (ag-32xk — moat durability)

The corpus moat is switching-cost / data-gravity, not tech — and it is
one accidental delete away from losing its receipts. Directive #11
history: routine maintenance wiped `.agents/` subdirs, counts went to
~0. A moat you can lose to routine cleanup doesn't feel like a moat.
This closes the most common loss path (the destructive defrag) first.

## Behavior

- **Apply-mode prune** → snapshot first, then prune.
- **Safe-by-default**: a snapshot failure *aborts* the prune — we refuse
to delete files we couldn't first back up.
- **No-op** for: dry-runs (nothing deleted), dedup-only runs (flags,
never deletes), and `--no-snapshot` (new escape hatch).

## Changes

- `corpus_snapshot.go`: extract `createCorpusSnapshot()` as the shared
engine behind both the `ao corpus snapshot` command and the defrag
auto-snapshot (no behavior change to the command).
- `defrag.go`: `autoSnapshotBeforeDefrag()` + `--no-snapshot` flag +
help text.
- `defrag_autosnapshot_test.go`: 6 tests (apply-prune snapshots;
dry-run/no-snapshot/dedup-only skip; missing-corpus aborts; L2
`runDefrag` leaves a recoverable tarball).
- `cli/docs/COMMANDS.md`: regenerated for the new flag (passes
`generate-cli-reference.sh --check`).

## Scope

Slice of ag-32xk. **Remaining (bead stays open):** `ao curate`
auto-snapshot + a canon/promoted-entry delete guard.

## Verification

- `cd cli && go build ./... && go vet ./cmd/ao/` — clean
- `go test ./cmd/ao/` — 9315 pass
- `scripts/pre-push-gate.sh --fast` — passed (CLI docs parity green)

## Summary
- Convert `TestGoals_Integration_FullLifecycle` from in-process

Bo 6489da8fab chore(cli): gofmt agent_bundle.go struct-literal indentation (ag-tcf0.2 #gofmt-agent-bundle) (#783)
Fixes a gofmt drift that landed on `main`: `cmd/ao/agent_bundle.go` had
an extra-tab indent on the `Bootstrap` field of the codex-ntm bundle
struct literal (unformatted since df3cc98, ~24h ago). Whitespace-only —
the `Bootstrap` string value is unchanged, behavior identical.

## Why it slipped through
CI runs `golangci-lint run` with **default linters**, which exclude the
`gofmt` formatter, so source-formatting drift is not gated and lands on
`main` undetected. This is the same class as the ag-tcf0 audit "14 files
unformatted" finding; the earlier sweep (ag-ozac) fixed files but did
not add an enforcement gate. **The missing gofmt CI gate is drafted to
the operator queue** (it interacts with the gate-target/path-filter
system and the active ag-tcf0.1 golangci worktree, so it warrants
operator confirmation rather than a unilateral CI-gate change).

## Test
The paired `agent_bundle_test.go` change strengthens the existing
`Bootstrap` substring assertion to **exact equality** (per
`.claude/rules/go.md`: "assert exact expected values, not just
substring"), guarding the struct literal against silent drift at the
exact site of the fix.

- `gofmt -l cli/` clean

Bo a3457c001d test(posture): restore stance-claim enforcement lost when internal/gascity removed (ag-ddrb #posture-tests) (#791)
## What

Adds `cli/internal/posture/posture_test.go` — the package had **zero**
tests.

## Why

`internal/posture/posture.go` is pure and deterministic but its doc
comment promises:

> the AgentOps stance claim "must either update this value or fail the
integration test in `cli/internal/gascity/bridge_test.go`"

`internal/gascity` was **deleted** (ag-hfc, 3.1 teardown — confirmed in
CLAUDE.md), so that enforcing test no longer exists. The `AgentOps`
stance declaration has been **unguarded** since. `TestAgentOpsStance`
here is the replacement regression guard: a silent edit to the stance
now fails CI.

## Coverage

Behavioral, table-driven, **100.0% statement coverage** (10 tests):
- `Layer.String()` — all six + sentinel/out-of-range
- Layer bit-position values (the shift-amount contract `LayerSet`
depends on)
- `LayerSet` `NewLayerSet`/`Has`/`Union` — idempotence, commutativity,
empty-set identity
- `AllLayers` / `ExternalLayers` exact membership ("Bead is universal")
- `Kind.String()` — all families + out-of-range
- `AgentOps` stance invariant: `Kind=Distribution`, owns exactly
`{Role,Skill,Ledger,Distribution}`, does **not** own `Loop`, `Bead` is
external
- owned ⊆ `AllLayers` structural invariant

No coverage-padding: every assertion checks exact behavior or a
documented invariant.

## Verification
```

Bo 466842d9bd feat(memory): add citation outcome taxonomy (#741)
## Summary

Implements `ag-rbx8` W3.1 citation outcome taxonomy and reviewer
identity plumbing for memory feedback.

- Adds canonical citation types: `retrieved`, `used-in-final-artifact`,
`helpful`, `harmful`, `refuted`, while preserving legacy `applied`,
`reference`, and `skill_loaded`.
- Extends citation events with `artifact_author_id`,
`cited_by_agent_id`, and `cited_by_model_family`.
- Parses legacy identity aliases in citation JSONL (`author_id`,
`reviewer_id`, `judge_id`, `model_family`).
- Updates `ao metrics cite` with non-author identity flags and rejects
self-authored outcome judgments.
- Teaches citation pipeline and feedback-loop logic that retrieved-only
is exposure, helpful/final-artifact/applied are rewardable, and
harmful/refuted are explicit non-reward outcomes.
- Regenerates CLI command docs and `registry.json`.

## Validation

Focused tests after rebase over #737 (`origin/main` @ `7bbc6569`):

- `go test ./internal/types ./internal/ratchet ./internal/quality
./internal/lifecycle`
- `go test ./cmd/ao -run
'TestMetricsCite|TestProcessCitationFeedback|TestCitationConfidenceBuckets|TestValidateFeedbackCitationType|TestFlagCompletions_Registered|TestComputeCitationPipeline|TestCanonicalCitationType'`
- `go test ./cmd/ao`
- `git diff --check`

Required regen/gate:

- `bash scripts/regen-all.sh` completed generated artifact updates, then
exited on known CMDAO surface parity red (`wiki query`; 30 uncovered
commands).
- `PRE_PUSH_FAIL_FAST=false bash scripts/pre-push-gate.sh` completed
with 5 known non-diff failures:
  - test-fixture parity: `scripts/gc-stale-worktrees.sh`
  - worktree disposition: canonical root dirty/untracked operator state
  - goals validate: local `GOALS.md` lookup red
  - corpus freshness: newest local snapshot over threshold
- contract canaries: known `agentops-core.pre-push-gate-governance`
failure

Diff-owned checks passed in the gate, including go build, go vet,
changed-scope race tests, command/test pairing, registry drift, CLI docs
parity, mkdocs strict build, contract compatibility, CI policy parity,
context-map drift, shellcheck, skill citation parity, and

Bo 76af462b45 refactor(evidencedturn): converge author≠judge onto liveness.Disjoint (DRIFT fix, impl #2) (#744)
## What
WindyCastle's vibe-check (Agent Mail #149) found the **no-self-grade /
author≠judge invariant fragmented across 3 divergent implementations**
on main:
1. `liveness.Disjoint` (ag-xdrw/#737) — the canonical one.
2. `evidencedturn`'s `evalAuthorNeqValidator` (ag-lmdx.4) — **this PR**.
3. #741's inline `EqualFold` — SageHarbor converges in parallel.

That divergence (empty-handling / case / waiver) is **why the empty-ID
self-grade bypass recurred** (#737 PG3/PG4 → #741 citation reward).

This PR converges **impl #2**: `evalAuthorNeqValidator` now routes its
core author≠judge decision through `liveness.Disjoint`.

## Behavior-preserving
`Disjoint` denies on `empty-author OR empty-judge OR author==judge` —
**identical** to the prior inline checks. Verified: all existing
`evidencedturn` tests pass unchanged. Preserved: the `--allow-self`
waiver (explicit pre-check) + the specific legible reason strings.

## Anti-recurrence lock
Adds `TestAuthorNeqValidator_AgreesWithDisjoint` — asserts the
validator's decision matches `liveness.Disjoint` across every identity
case (distinct / self-graded / empty-author / empty-judge / both-empty)
+ the waiver. **A future re-divergence fails CI** — the structural fix
WindyCastle's finding asks for.

Bo 0c5554f1bc build(factory): one-shot regenerator for ao-command-landing surfaces (ag-jy12 #command-regen) (#742)
## What

A ONE-SHOT regenerator (`scripts/regen-command-surfaces.sh`) for the
`ao`-command-landing derived surfaces. When an `ao` command is
added/removed/renamed, these surfaces must update in lockstep — the
multi-surface tax that bit #720 (ag-sz3h, ~4 extra CI rounds):

- the two cobra `expectedCmds` literals in
`cli/cmd/ao/cobra_commands_test.go`
- the `cli-command-surface` heading counts:
`evals/agentops-core/fixtures/cli-command-surface-smoke.sh` +
`evals/agentops-core/cli-command-surface-matrix.json`

## How

- **Single source of truth for the command set**: the LIVE cobra tree,
dumped by the new `TestDumpRegisteredTopLevelCommands` (set
`AO_DUMP_REGISTERED_CMDS=1`). It walks `rootCmd.Commands()` (sorted,
`help` excluded) — exactly the membership the two `expectedCmds`
literals must match. A *test*, not a subcommand, so emitting the list
does not itself add a registered command (which would be circular).
- **Single source of truth for the counts**: `cli/docs/COMMANDS.md`
(itself generated from the cobra tree). `top = ### \`ao `, `sub = ####
\`ao `, `all = #{3,4} \`ao `.
- Rewrites all three derived surfaces deterministically. The
`expectedCmds` literals are reformatted one-element-per-line
(gofmt-stable) so output is canonical forever — **membership is
identical to before (pure reformat)**.
- **Idempotent**: a no-change tree is a no-op; `--check` fails on drift
without writing.
- Wired into `regen-all.sh` (both regen + `--check`) right after the
COMMANDS.md step.

## Deletion ⊃ Addition (completeness note)

Removing/renaming a command is a SUPERSET of adding one. This
regenerator covers the ADD surfaces. A delete/rename ALSO disturbs
surfaces it does NOT auto-regenerate — these need manual/quorum
attention:

- (a) codex-contract gates that hardcode command literals
(`validate-codex-rpi-contract.sh`)
- (b) skills-codex twins/overrides (`export-claude-skills-to-codex` +
`regen-codex-hashes`)
- (c) VERBATIM-PRESERVE template SHAs (`cron-loop-mode.md` frontmatter)

A "deletion ⊃ addition" note is present in the regenerator header
comment AND the `regen-all.sh` operator reminder.

## Verification

- `scripts/regen-command-surfaces.sh` → no-op on clean tree; `--check`
green.
- `go build ./cmd/ao`, `go vet ./cmd/ao`, `go test ./cmd/ao` (full
package) all pass; `gofmt -l` clean.
- `cli-command-surface-matrix` canary: pass. Smoke fixture: pass.
- Pre-push gate's only reds are pre-existing, unrelated canaries
(`context-packet-ab-wave0`, `agentops-core.pre-push-gate-governance`
bats) — not touched by this diff.

Bo 9c6b4036bf test(liveness): end-to-end kernel composition test (ag-c3c7 #compose) (#743)
## What
An **L2 integration test** proving the 5 liveness files — built across
separate PRs by separate contexts (#733 roles, #737 quorum/guards, #739
work_lease) — compose into **one admission lifecycle on one
vocabulary**, not five parallel ones.

`TestKernelComposition_FullAdmissionFlow` walks the full flow:
1. **Role-matrix SoD** (`roles`) — worker edits, worker can't self-vote,
orchestrator can't edit (injection defense).
2. **External role source** (`request`+`guards`) — leased role passes
`Check`; self-asserted (source==actor) → `Denied`.
3. **Work-lease** (`work_lease`) — the just-authorized identity takes a
lease.
4. **Author≠judge** (`guards.Disjoint` via `Check` `VerbJudge`) —
self-judge `Denied`, distinct verifier `Allowed`; high-level `Check` and
low-level `Disjoint` must **agree**.
5. **Cross-model quorum** (`quorum`) — solo→NeedsAdmission, actor
self-ACK doesn't count, two same-family ACKs don't clear (collusion
guard), two distinct families clear.
6. **Hard expiry + takeover** (`work_lease`) — late renewal
`ErrLeaseExpired`, deadman sweep surfaces it, distinct owner takes over
via `Create`.

## Why
WindyCastle's vibe-checks *assert* the kernel composes; this *proves* it
mechanically and **locks it against regression** — if a future change
breaks the composition (e.g. `Check VerbJudge` stops routing through
`Disjoint`, or quorum drops family-diversity), this fails where the
per-file unit tests wouldn't.

## Scope
New test file ONLY (`cli/internal/liveness/kernel_composition_test.go`).
**Zero production code touched.** Exercises only public APIs already on
main. `go build ./...` + `go vet` + full liveness package green; the 4
local reds are the known pre-existing non-diff set.

Bo 7bbc6569c4 feat(liveness): enforce author-judge quorum gate (ag-xdrw) (#737)
## Summary

Implements `ag-xdrw` independent-verification gates for claim-evidence
and significant orchestration actions.

- Adds `author_id` / `judge_id` metadata to claim-evidence bindings.
- Rejects self-graded bindings at the ClaimEvidenceBinder port.
- Requires non-empty, distinct author/judge metadata for high-assurance
PG3/PG4 evidence while preserving legacy anonymous PG1/PG2 behavior.
- Carries reviewer metadata through in-memory + production
claim-evidence derive paths and durable JSONL binding records.
- Adds `liveness.CheckSignificantAction` for orchestration-tier
significant actions requiring two distinct non-actor ACKs across at
least two model families.
- Regenerates CLI docs/surface/registry after adding `ao claim bind
--author-id/--judge-id` flags.

## Validation

Current head: `e4456538d89660c954ca12d347a186bd1cf68edf` rebased over
#740 (`853d781e`).

Focused checks after rebase:

- `go test ./internal/liveness ./internal/ports`
- `go test ./cmd/ao -run
'TestProductionClaimEvidenceBinder|TestClaimBind|TestClaimList|TestProductionClaimEvidence|TestClaim'`

Required regen after rebase:

- `bash scripts/regen-all.sh` regenerated artifacts, then exited nonzero
on the known CMDAO surface parity red: `wiki query` / 30 uncovered
commands.

Required pre-push after rebase:

- `PRE_PUSH_FAIL_FAST=false bash scripts/pre-push-gate.sh` completed
with 4 known non-diff failures:
  - test-fixture parity: `scripts/gc-stale-worktrees.sh`
  - worktree disposition: canonical root dirty/untracked operator state
  - corpus freshness: newest local snapshot older than threshold
- contract canaries: known `agentops-core.pre-push-gate-governance` Bats
failure

Diff-relevant gates passed in the pre-push run, including changed-scope
build/vet/race, command/test pairing, `goals validate`, registry drift,
CLI docs parity, command-surface matrix canary, shellcheck, mkdocs,
contract compatibility, CI policy parity, and context-map drift.

## Review Gate

No self-grade: cross-model ACKs are recorded in Agent Mail.

- WindyCastle re-confirmed ACK on `547eb36f` and then explicitly called
to rebase once more over #740 and merge this keystone next (#134).
- RubyMoose re-confirmed ACK on `547eb36f`; current `e4456538` is the
same reviewed semantic diff rebased over #740 plus regenerated registry
timestamp.

Review attacks covered:

- PG3/PG4 anonymous reviewer metadata rejects; PG1/PG2 anonymous legacy
remains allowed.
- `AuthorID == JudgeID` rejects.
- Significant-action actor ACK does not count toward quorum.
- Two same-family ACKs do not satisfy quorum.
- Non-quorum path returns `NeedsAdmission`, never `Allowed`.

Bo 853d781e66 feat(memory): inject canon memory during session bootstrap (#740)
## Summary

Implements ag-11bi W2.3 canon-gated T2 bootstrap memory for `ao session
bootstrap`.

- Selects only canon-promoted established learnings plus high/critical
severity canon anti-patterns from `.agents/canon/learnings`.
- Ranks by `utility * confidence * freshness`, caps selection at 1200
estimated tokens, and warns on stderr when eligible canon memory exceeds
the cap.
- Computes reach through the existing search reach helper, so
established canon memory surfaces as `reach=always` without author-set
reach.
- Emits the memory payload in JSON/robot output and prints selected
memory in the default human bootstrap output.
- Extends `schemas/session-bootstrap.v1.schema.json` and tests the
filter, budget, warning, and human-output paths.

## Validation

Focused checks:

- `go test ./cmd/ao -run 'TestSessionBootstrap'`
- `go test ./internal/search ./internal/types`
- `git diff --check`
- `python3 -m json.tool schemas/session-bootstrap.v1.schema.json`

Required regen:

- `bash scripts/regen-all.sh` regenerated artifacts but exited on the
known CMDAO `wiki query` parity red.

Required pre-push after rebase:

- `PRE_PUSH_FAIL_FAST=false bash scripts/pre-push-gate.sh` completed
with 4 known non-diff failures:
  - test-fixture parity: `scripts/gc-stale-worktrees.sh`
  - worktree disposition: canonical root dirty/untracked operator state
  - corpus freshness: newest local snapshot older than threshold
- contract canaries: known `agentops-core.pre-push-gate-governance` Bats
failure

Diff-relevant gates passed in the pre-push run, including changed-scope
Go race tests, command/test pairing, goals validate, registry drift, CLI
docs parity, command-surface matrix canary, schema checks, CI policy
parity, and shellcheck.

## Review Ask

Requesting cross-model ACK/AMEND/BLOCK before merge. Primary attacks to
run:

- Does any non-canon or candidate/provisional learning enter bootstrap
memory?
- Can the 1200-token cap be bypassed or hidden from callers?
- Does the default human path actually expose the selected memory, not
just JSON?
- Is the generated CLI-surface drift acceptable as regen output on this
branch?

No self-grade for merge.

Bo 6f3b0aac04 feat(liveness): typed work-lease tracking (ag-c3c7.2 #work-lease) (#739)
## What
A deterministic liveness-domain **work-lease tracker** — the substrate
record of who owns an active work arc and when the claim lapses.
deadman/fallback (later slice) consumes expired leases to know which
work is abandoned and eligible for quorum takeover. Makes no admission
decision itself.

`cli/internal/liveness/work_lease.go` (+ test):
- `WorkLease{BeadID, Branch, OwnerAgentID, ModelFamily, LeaseReason,
IssuedAt, ExpiresAt, RenewedAt, EvidenceRef}` + `Status(now)`.
- `LeaseTracker` (injected `Clock`): `Create / Renew / Expire / Get /
List / Expired`.

## Invariants (the kernel's principles, mechanical)
- **No-self-grade on liveness:** `Renew` requires a **non-empty
`evidence_ref`** → `ErrEvidenceRequired`. Alive = externally-visible
evidence, not self-report.
- **Quorum takeover:** `Create` rejects an *active* duplicate
(`ErrLeaseActive`) but **re-leases an expired bead** (new owner takes
over abandoned work).
- **Deterministic:** every time decision routes through the injected
`Clock` — reproducible, testable; tests use a fixed clock.

## Scope (per SageHarbor's carve, Agent Mail #115)
New `work_lease{,_test}.go` ONLY. **Not** admission classification,
pulse/quorum schema, deadman escalation, or the #737 author/judge gate.
Untouched: `ports/claim_evidence_binder.go`, `session_bootstrap.go`,
`search/*`, `registry.json`, generated CLI docs.

## Validation
- 6 tests pass (create/takeover, evidence-gated renewal, status/expired,
force-expire) with exact-value assertions + fake clock.
- Local gate: `go build` / `go vet` / `go test -race (changed scope)` /
command-test pairing / HOME-isolation all **green**. The 4 remaining
local reds (gc-stale-worktrees fixture, canonical-root-dirty [shared
checkout], goals-validate, corpus-freshness) are the **pre-existing
non-diff** set (same as #730/#736/#737).

Requesting **≥2-of-3 cross-model review** — this is liveness-kernel
code, review hard.

Bo cd5b8acc1e feat(liveness): role-capability matrix — deny-and-escalate RBAC (ag-c3c7.1 #role-matrix) (#733)
Role-capability matrix for the liveness-kernel (ag-c3c7.1, assigned by
SageHarbor as sequencing lead).

`cli/internal/liveness/roles.go` defines each role's allowed verbs —
orchestrator: route/vote/shepherd/synthesize · worker: edit · verifier:
judge · scribe: record · heartbeat: nudge. Every out-of-capability
action resolves to `needs-admission` — **deny-and-escalate by default,
never allow**.

Key separation semantics (all tested):
- **orchestrator CANNOT edit** — the prompt-injection defense; an
orchestrator can't perform a worker's edit
- **verifier CANNOT edit what it judges** — no-self-grade
- worker / scribe CANNOT vote (execute/record, don't decide)
- heartbeat does nothing but nudge
- unknown role/verb → needs-admission

New isolated package. No-touch list respected: validate.yml,
registry.json, pre-push-gate.sh, skill-eval.sh, .agents/design/*,
cli/internal/search/*, cli/cmd/ao/* all untouched. 24 tests pass; full

Bo 8ad6747913 chore(ao): delete the ao evolve CLI surface (ag-llni slice 1) (#724)
**Slice 1 of ag-llni** — retire `ao rpi`/`ao evolve` (orchestration is
no longer an in-CLI engine). This PR removes the **`ao evolve`** half;
the `rpi*.go` + phased web is slice 2.

**Architecture (operator-confirmed 2026-06-04):** orchestration is
two-tier — *inner loop* (one session) = skills/CLIs/native-subagents +
**Workflows** (`.claude/workflows/operating-loop.js` + `bead-crank.js` —
the Claude encoding of inner-orchestration that was mis-shaped as
`rpi`/`evolve`); *outer loop* (many sessions) = **NTM +
mcp-agent-mail**. Codex inner-loop = NTM + agent-mail for now. Leaf CLIs
(`corpus`/`goals`/flywheel/knowledge loops = BC1 corpus), NTM, and
agent-mail all stay.

### Changes
- Deleted `ao evolve` + 4 subcommands (`config`, `next-work`, `blocked`,
`write-stop-marker`) — 10 files.
- Relocated the one non-evolve coupling, `countCronHistoryRows`, into
its sole consumer `cron_self_adjust.go`.
- Removed `evolve` from the `cobra_commands_test.go` golden
`expectedCmds` list (2 sites).
- Regenerated `cli/docs/COMMANDS.md` (−125 lines) +
`docs/cli-skills-map.md`.

### Verification
- `go build ./...` green · `go vet ./cmd/ao` clean · **`go test

Bo 092b99dad9 feat(skills): add skill-eval.sh ms-backed quality gate (ag-yzoz #skill-eval) (#726)
## What

Adds `scripts/skill-eval.sh` — a thin gate that runs one skill's
`SKILL.md` through Jeff Emanuel's `ms` (meta_skill) `lint` + `validate`.
The wrapper decides the gate purely on whether a **blocking** `rule_id`
appears (ms's own severity/exit is not trusted):

- Blocking: `no-secrets`, `no-injection`, `safe-paths`,
`required-metadata`, `no-cycle`, `valid-version` → non-zero exit.
- Everything else → annotated only (`::warning::`), never fails.
- `ms` not on PATH (or `MS_BIN` missing) → **loud `::error::` hard-fail
(exit 3)**, never skip-and-pass — a silent skip would recreate the
no-evaluation gap this gate closes.

Planted `skills/_fixtures/{bad,good}-skill/SKILL.md` fixtures +
`tests/scripts/skill-eval.bats` (10 tests) exercise the
bad/good/ms-absent contracts.

## Fixture scoping

`skills/_fixtures/` is non-skill scaffolding (planted fixtures). The
skill-enumerating gates/generators are taught to skip `skills/_*` so the
fixtures never inflate the skill count (stays 82) or fail registry /
schema / wiring / runtime / count gates. Touched enumerators:
`generate-registry`, `validate-skill-schema`, `sync-skill-counts`,
`validate-skill-count`, `generate-skill-catalog`,
`generate-context-map`, `validate-manifests`, `check-wiring-closure`,
`validate-headless-runtime-skills`, `lib/sku_catalog.py`,
`check-alias-collisions`, `run-all`, `test-runtime-opencode-smoke`,
`release-smoke-test`, `smoke-test`, `validate-skill`.

Does **not** touch `validate.yml` — wiring skill-eval.sh into CI is a
separate bead.

Epic: ag-czzf

## Verification

- `bats tests/scripts/skill-eval.bats` → 10/10 pass (ms 0.1.2 on PATH)
- `shellcheck scripts/skill-eval.sh` → clean
- `check-registry-drift`, `validate-skill-schema`, `sync-skill-counts`,
`run-all`, opencode-smoke → all PASS with fixtures present, skill count

Completes the **W1 git-safety arc** of epic ag-lhu0 (memory-system
re-architecture) — three beads, one coherent surface, after #719 wired
scrub-on-write into corpus_fs.

- **ag-zi90 (dedup):** `redactContent` (`ao context assemble`) now runs
canonical `llm.Redact` first — a single source of truth for credential
patterns (AWS / GitHub / GitLab / Slack / GCP / PEM, previously
uncovered in this path) — then keeps the supplements `llm.Redact` does
*not* cover: 2-segment app JWTs, sensitive env-var assignments,
high-entropy strings.
- **ag-sz3h (compile chokepoint):** new `ao redact` (stdin→stdout
canonical scrub) bridges the shell compile path; `compile.sh` pipes
every rendered article through it before `os.WriteFile` (loud fallback
if `ao` absent).
- **ag-y2xy (CI backstop):** `check-corpus-secret-scan.sh` scans
**git-tracked** (committed/allowlisted) `.agents` corpus + canon only —
repo-root `.agents` is local-only by policy, so scrub-on-write (#719 +
`ao redact`) is the primary defense and this is the backstop. Wired into
`validate.yml`; bats covers clean / leak-with-file:line /
untracked-not-scanned.

Scrub-on-write is primary; CI is the backstop. Verified: go
build/vet/test (incl. `TestRunRedact`, JWT-dedup regression test green),
bats 3/3, shellcheck clean, conformance regenerated.

Bo 288943ad49 refactor(cli): decouple mine.go + handoff.go from rpi symbols (ag-362v #decouple) (#718)
**Prerequisite for removing `ao rpi` / `ao evolve`** (epic ag-llni /
soc-1gbpz). Operator directive: out-of-session orchestration moves to
the substrate (NTM + background agents + `/discovery`); the in-CLI loop
engines are removed.

A full-repo map confirmed the **only 2 non-rpi/evolve production
callers** of rpi symbols:
- `mine.go` → `RPIC2Event` + `loadRPIC2Events`
- `handoff.go` → `shellQuote`

This PR relocates both into files that survive the `rpi*.go` deletion
glob, **zero behavior change**:
- **`shell_quote.go`** — POSIX single-quote helper moved out of
`rpi_parallel.go` (body inlined, drops the `internal/rpi.ShellQuote`
hop). Both `handoff.go` and `rpi_parallel.go` keep using it.
- **`c2_event_reader.go`** — `RPIC2Event` type + `loadRPIC2Events`
reader moved out of `rpi_c2_events.go` (events.jsonl path inlined to
mirror `internal/rpi.RPIRunRegistryDir`). `mine.go` unchanged; the
rpi-internal **writer** `appendRPIC2Event` stays and is deleted with the
engine.

After this, **nothing outside `rpi*.go`/`evolve*.go` references any
rpi-internal symbol** — the engine deletion (next PR) is unblocked.

## Verification
- `go build ./...` + `go vet` clean
- 3 new reader tests + 21 existing handoff/mine/c2/shellQuote tests pass
- `rg` confirms `mine.go`/`handoff.go` carry no rpi-internal symbol refs

Bo 8be8d678f2 fix(corpus): relevance-rank ao inject — strip stopwords from query tokens (ag-32gx #stopword-relevance) (#704)
## What
Fixes the retrieval-relevance gap the corpus-delta **W1c first signal**
located: `ao inject --context "<verbose query>"` returned generic
recency-ranked learnings, not the task-relevant one. **Root cause:**
`QueryTokens` did no stopword filtering — a long query became ~80 tokens
(incl. the/if/any/that), so `MatchRatio` (matched ÷ total) collapsed for
every learning and ranking fell back to freshness.

**Fix** (mirrors the proven `skills/find.go` tokenizer): `QueryTokens`
now splits on any non-alphanumeric rune (`continue-on-error:true` →
continue/error/true), drops a ~80-word English stopword set + sub-2-char
tokens, and dedups. Domain words (gate/job/exit/ci/run/check) are
deliberately kept.

## Validation
- **Empirical, against the real corpus:** a focused query's hits on the
target learning rose (2 → 4); the learning is NOT quality-gate-filtered
(it surfaces with a salient query).
- **Tests:** QueryTokens strips stopwords/punctuation + dedups; a
verbose query ranks a salient-matching learning above a generic one;
all-stopword query degrades safely (→ no relevance signal → freshness,
preserving prior behavior). 86 search + 580 cmd/ao pass; build + vet
clean.

## Honest residual (separate, NOT an inject defect)
A raw whole-prompt query still dilutes via `MatchRatio`
length-normalization. inject's job is to rank *given* a query; it now
does. The **caller** should pass a focused query — noted on **ag-epgk**:
the W1c runner should derive a focused retrieval query (task
title/salient line), not pass `prompt.md` verbatim. That, plus this fix,
unblocks a clean W1c re-run.

Bo 81aec49b1c chore(tests): test-isolation ratchet + migrate testutil chdir helpers to t.Chdir (ag-k38x #lint-ratchet) (#699)
## What
Lands the durable mechanism for ag-k38x (codebase-audit P2-1/P2-2): raw
`os.Chdir`/`os.Setenv` in tests mutate process-global cwd/env — a latent
flake landmine once any test opts into `t.Parallel` (cf. **ag-jfzs**,
the memory-sync flake of exactly this class).

The repo has ~163 `os.Chdir` + 22 `os.Setenv` inline sites across 34
files in **non-uniform patterns** (`defer` / `t.Cleanup` / `defer
func(){}()` with reversed order) — a blind sweep would break the suite.
So this ships the **durable gate + the canonical lever**, not a risky
80-site mass-edit:

- **`scripts/check-test-isolation.sh`** — a baseline ratchet (163/22)
wired into the **process-hygiene** job: raw `os.Chdir`/`os.Setenv` in
`*_test.go` may not **grow**; new code must use `t.Chdir`/`t.Setenv` or
the testutil helpers. This pre-empts the flake class from spreading.
- **`testutil_test.go`** — `chdirTemp`/`chdirTo` migrated from
`os.Chdir`+`t.Cleanup` to `t.Chdir` (the shared helpers most tests
delegate to; canonical example).

## Follow-up
The bulk inline-site migration drives the baseline toward zero
incrementally — **ag-k38x stays open** for it (scenario
`#bulk-migration`). Decomposing an ~80-site, non-uniform migration into
*gate-the-growth now + reduce-incrementally* is the responsible path; a
one-shot sed would be the reckless one.

## Verification
Ratchet PASSes at baseline AND catches a synthetic increase; shellcheck
+ `validate-ci-policy-parity` green; `go vet` clean; chdir-helper-caller
tests pass under `-race`.

Bo 28b18a8523 fix(corpus): handle silent G104 parse/write swallows (ag-chvc #silent-error-handling) (#697)
## What
Fixes the behavioral `#nosec G104` silent-error swallows surfaced by the
codebase-audit (ag-chvc).

- **Sscanf** (`lifecycle/temper.go` ×3, `cmd/ao/temper.go` ×4,
`storage/searchindex.go`): a *malformed*
Utility/Confidence/SchemaVersion silently parsed to **zero**, corrupting
decay-rank inputs. Now parse into a local and assign only on a clean
parse → malformed value keeps the prior default. The error is handled,
so the `#nosec G104` is gone.
- **WriteFile/MkdirAll** (`cmd/ao/quickstart.go`, `cmd/ao/demo.go` ×6):
silently dropped write failures while still printing ✓. Now warn to
stderr on failure, print ✓ only after the write lands.
- **Left untouched** (legitimate best-effort): `rpi_phased_processing`
`os.Remove` cleanup, demo interactive `Scanln`.

## Verification
`go build` + `go vet` clean; 276 lifecycle/storage tests pass under
`-race`; 3 new regression tests (malformed → keeps default; valid →
parses). Zero G104 left in the 5 touched files.

Bo 6072dceac5 docs(substrate): reconcile doctrine — skill-dispatch + drop Gas City reference (ag-88y5 #docs-skills-dispatch-reframe) (#696)
## What
Two bounded doctrine-reconciliation slices (one coherent arc):

**ag-88y5** — the out-of-session dispatch unit is the `/rpi`·`/evolve`
**skill**, not the `ao rpi`/`ao evolve` CLI. Per the 3.0
skills-are-the-runtime thesis (using-ntm #693 already frames it this
way), re-narrate the **live** doctrine surfaces so the substrate spawns
an agent that *runs the /rpi skill* over a bead:
- docs/3.0.md, docs/architecture/canonical-loop-model.md,
docs/runbooks/nightly-evolution.md
- skills/using-agentops, skills/agent-native,
skills/domain/references/factory.md

Historical surfaces (MIGRATION-3.0, ADR-0009, release notes) +
CLI-reference left as-is; the actual `ao rpi`/`ao evolve` CLI removal is
the **ag-iowf** epic (live automation callers — overnight-evolve,
release-smoke — must migrate first).

**ag-ogp5** — drop the 4 docs still asserting Gas City as THE reference
substrate → NTM+MCP+managed-agents:
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/SCHEMAS.md,
docs/contracts/agents-write-surfaces.md,
docs/patterns/completion-notifications.md (Pattern C)

The ~37 historical/illustrative GC refs are intentionally retained (per
ag-ogp5 scope).

## Verification
regen-all --check, embedded-sync, heal --strict, registry-drift,
codex-rpi-contract, codex-artifacts --scope head — all green.
