docs/INDEX.md (contract catalog) and docs/index.md (MkDocs landing) shared the
same case-folded name on case-insensitive filesystems, leaving the working tree
in a phantom-modified state and breaking contract-compatibility-gate when the
script read whichever file the OS resolved at run time.
Resolves TASK-1 + TASK-2 of .agents/plans/2026-04-26-resolve-docs-index-case-collision.md:
- Move catalog content from HEAD:docs/INDEX.md into docs/documentation-index.md
- Repoint contract validators (scripts/check-contract-compatibility.sh,
scripts/contract-orphans-allowlist.txt) and their tests at the new path
- Update navigation references across README.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and the
docs/ tree (newcomer-guide, CONTRIBUTING, CI-CD, plans/, positioning/,
templates/, contract examples)
- Replace stale docs/README.md mentions in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / repo-execution
profile example with docs/index.md (the actual MkDocs landing)
Verification:
- bash scripts/check-contract-compatibility.sh -> 0 failures, 24 contracts catalogued
- bash tests/scripts/test-contract-compatibility-gate.sh -> 7/7 PASS (verified pre-rebase)
- bash tests/skills/test-repo-native-orchestration.sh -> 28/28 PASS (verified pre-rebase)
- git ls-files | awk casefold-dup scan -> empty
TASK-3 (casefold-collision guard script) and TASK-4 (worktree disposition) from
the plan remain to be done in a follow-up.
Addresses a batch of documentation improvements identified in a full-docs
audit. The goal is to reduce newcomer friction from dead links and missing
canonical references, and to give skill/plugin authors explicit pages for
hooks, schemas, and version migration that were previously implied only by
source code.
Navigation fixes:
- docs/INDEX.md and docs/newcomer-guide.md pointed to the wrong path for
the CLI reference (cli/commands.md vs. the real cli/docs/COMMANDS.md).
Replace with the canonical github URL so both mkdocs and raw-GitHub
readers land on the file.
- INDEX.md Getting Started section now opens with a "pick your path"
router so evaluators, installers, contributors, and upgraders don't
have to triangulate across three overlapping entry points.
- Link docs/getting-started/index.md from INDEX.md (was previously
orphaned) and add an "Install verification" block pointing at ao doctor.
New pages:
- docs/HOOKS.md: user-facing orientation covering lifecycle events,
install/uninstall, customization env vars, and common failure modes,
pointing to cli/docs/HOOKS.md for the deep technical reference.
- docs/SCHEMAS.md: catalog of every JSON Schema under schemas/ and
lib/schemas/, grouped by manifest vs. runtime artifact vs. internal
contract, with validation commands.
- docs/UPGRADING.md: action-required version migration guide. Seeds
Unreleased (2.38.x) and 2.37.x sections covering strict delegation,
--no-lifecycle -> --no-scaffold rename, Olympus bridge removal,
swarm-evidence schema enforcement, and pre-mortem gate tightening.
Reference quality:
- GLOSSARY.md: 11 new terms (.agents/, MEMORY.md, Compact/PreCompact,
Compile, Context Window, Discovery, Dream/Overnight Run alias,
Flywheel Health, Harvest, Holdout, RPI Phase, Session Lifecycle).
- troubleshooting.md: three new failure-mode sections (pre-mortem gate,
go-test-precommit block, context-window compaction recovery).
- CONTRIBUTING.md: escalates the sync-skill-counts.sh requirement from
an easily-missed sentence to a bold callout with CI-failure rationale.
mkdocs.yml: registers the three new pages in nav so they're reachable
from the published site and pass strict build.
Validation:
- tests/docs/validate-links.sh: 1553 links checked, 0 broken.
- tests/docs/validate-doc-release.sh: PASS.
- scripts/docs-build.sh --check: new docs introduce 0 warnings (the
single remaining preexisting warning about index.md is out of scope).
## Docs site — boshu2.github.io/agentops
- Replace Jekyll minima with MkDocs Material (slate dark palette default)
- Landing hero scoped to .landing-hero (no gradient bleed on inner pages)
- Section landings (getting-started, architecture, reference, contracts, levels) with narrative ledes
- Generate skill catalog + per-skill pages from skills/*/SKILL.md at build
- Generate CLI reference from cli/docs/ at build (fails build on missing source)
- Fix every internal link via one-shot migration (scripts/migrations/2026-04-19-fix-docs-links.py)
- Wire mkdocs build --strict into pre-push gate (Check 25a)
- Replace .github/workflows/pages.yml with .github/workflows/docs.yml (actions/deploy-pages)
- README + docs/CONTRIBUTING updated with docs-build toolchain on-ramp
- tests/docs/validate-links.sh patched to understand mkdocs-generated paths
## RPI orchestrator strict-delegation contract
- Strict sub-skill delegation is now the default for /rpi, /discovery, /validation. No --full flag — always on.
- Canonical contract in skills/shared/references/strict-delegation-contract.md (plus Codex mirror)
- Forged learning with detection phrases + corrective actions (ao-inject-ready)
- Rename --no-lifecycle -> --no-scaffold in /discovery (Claude + Codex) with deprecation alias through v2.40.0
- Harden inline-work hotspots with orchestrator-owned markers in /crank STEPS 3a.3, 6.5, 8.7 + Inline Work Policy footer
- Flag consistency: --auto and --interactive scopes documented; --complexity syntax formalized
- CHANGELOG [Unreleased] documents + scaffolds; runtime hook enforcement explicitly deferred
## fix(hooks): go-test-precommit skips when no Go files staged
- Previously ran go vet + go build unconditionally, blocking non-Go commits when Go toolchain was missing or at a different version
- Now checks staged diff and exits cleanly if no *.go or go.{mod,sum,work} files are staged
- Applied to both hooks/ (source) and cli/embedded/hooks/ (synced)
Provenance: full RPI lifecycle with strict delegation at every phase boundary (Phase 1 Skill(discovery) -> Phase 2 Skill(crank) -> Phase 3 Skill(validation) -> Skill(vibe), Skill(post-mortem), Skill(retro)).
