Two release-engineering surfaces the per-PR validate.yml gate never
exercised:
1. **Plugin updatability.** The 3.0.0 version label never moved across
the 15 commits that landed the skill consolidation + doc reconciliation,
so existing installs got "already at latest version" from `claude plugin
update` and stayed stale. Bump 3.0.0 → 3.0.1 (plugin.json,
marketplace.json metadata+plugin, install-ao.sh) + CHANGELOG 3.0.1 entry
(root + docs, byte-identical).
2. **Nightly Static Validation (red on main).** The hooks rip (#511)
deleted `scripts/validate-hooks-doc-parity.sh` but Nightly still ran it;
`tests/docs/validate-skill-count.sh` greps PRODUCT.md for hook-era
phrasing the 3.0 restructure removed → 2 MISSING_PATTERN fails
(warn-tolerated in validate.yml, fail-closed in Nightly). Removed the
dead step; repointed product_total to the four-layers line; retired
product_layer_total.
Verified locally: validate-skill-count.sh + validate-doc-release.sh pass
(total=75); version-consistency = 3.0.1 across all 3 manifest fields.
Follow-ups: ag-728 (PRODUCT.md daemon/hook prose), ag-x0d (3 golangci
quality findings).
Closes-scenario: ag-s3z#v3-0-1-release-readiness
Bounded-context: BC5-Runtime
Evidence: tests/docs/validate-skill-count.sh
doc-release-gate: exclude generated cli/embedded/ mirror from link validation
(its relative links resolve at source depth, not mirror depth) + allowlist
3 doctrine links to the gitignored .agents/research/ note
registry-check: regenerate registry.json (77 skills) stale after the 127-commit merge
plugin-load-test + skill-schema: add hexagonal_role/consumes/produces/context_rel
to skill-frontmatter.v1 schema — v2 dropped v1's other props so it is not a
drop-in superset; extending v1 keeps full validation. 77/77 -> 77/77 pass.
Verified locally: validate-links 0 broken, validate-skill-schema 77/77,
validate-manifests exit 0, doc-release-gate PASS.
The skill consolidation (12→4) brought reference files with
aspirational links to non-existent targets (PATTERNS.md,
TEMPLATE.md, LANGUAGES.md, etc.). Add to broken-links-allowlist
and remove the direct broken links where possible.
Adds cli/cmd/skill-frontmatter-json, a standalone Go binary that parses
SKILL.md YAML frontmatter and emits JSON. scripts/validate-manifests.sh
now builds and uses it when python3 lacks PyYAML, removing the hard
PyYAML dependency on validation hosts.
Also simplifies tests/skills/lint-skills.sh to use jq for schema parsing
and rewrites tests/docs/validate-links.sh link extraction with awk so it
skips fenced and inline code blocks.

## doc-release-gate (link validation)
- tests/docs/validate-links.sh: fix canonical-path assignment bug where
inline `|| fallback` never fires if the outer $() assignment itself
does not fail. Rewrite as explicit if-else so mkdocs-generated paths
(docs/skills/*.md, docs/cli/*.md) resolve correctly in CI environments
where those directories don't exist on disk.
## skill-lint + skill-integrity + go-build (TestSkillContract_ReferencesLinkedInSKILLMD)
- Add strict-delegation-contract.md link to skills/shared/SKILL.md and
skills-codex/shared/SKILL.md Reference Documents sections (heal.sh
--strict requires every references/*.md to be linked in its SKILL.md).
- Extend tests/skills/lint-skills.sh regex to support ../shared/references/
paths in addition to skills/<name>/references/ — matches heal.sh behavior.
## markdownlint
- Disable MD030 (list-marker-space) in .markdownlint.json. Material theme
grid-cards syntax uses 3 spaces after `-` which is standard for multi-line
items; markdownlint default of 1 space conflicts. 61 violations → 0.
## contract-compatibility-gate + smoke-test (next-work parity)
- .agents/rpi/next-work.jsonl: fix invalid enum values for the
2026-04-19-rpi-dag-hardening entry. Type "enhancement" → "process-improvement",
source values normalized to valid enum (council-finding, retro-learning,
backlog-processing).

## 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)).

- validate-goals.sh: support GOALS.md (directives + gates table) alongside
legacy GOALS.yaml; parse weights from end of row to handle pipes in Check
- validate-goal-count.sh: detect GOALS.md or GOALS.yaml, fix regex to
match "gates" as well as "goals"
- README.md: update evolve transcript to reflect current 18-gate GOALS.md
Declutter repo root — keep only AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, LICENSE,
GOALS.yaml, PRODUCT.md at top level. All cross-references updated across
README, .github templates, docs/, scripts/, skills/, and tests/.
- Add log-telemetry.sh reference back to evolve SKILL.md (telemetry-coverage goal)
- Add Examples and Troubleshooting sections to evolve (skill-validation lint)
- Exclude .agents/ from doc link validation (false positives on Go session files)
- Fix rpi-phased-context-discipline goal to check rpi_phased*.go (refactored file)
