3d2add15d9 v0.42.19.0 fix(skillopt): close the last gap in the AI SDK v6 tool-loop fix (write-capture mapper + regression test) (#1809)
* fix(ai/gateway): AI SDK v6 tool loop on non-Anthropic providers (#1782, #1764)

v6's asSchema() rejected the bare { jsonSchema } object and called it as a
function ("schema is not a function"), killing every tool-using agent run on
non-Anthropic providers and skillopt on all providers. Wrap tool inputSchema
with the SDK jsonSchema() helper, and add a pure toModelMessages() boundary
adapter in chat() that converts tool results to the v6 ModelMessage shape
(role:'tool' + typed output:{type:'json'|'error-text',value}, isError dropped,
non-JSON-safe output normalized). toolLoop stays provider-neutral and unchanged.
Both skillopt tool builders (rollout.ts, write-capture.ts) switch to the shared
paramDefToSchema mapper so enum/default/items survive. Tests run the produced
shapes through real generateText + MockLanguageModelV3.

d4211f4176 v0.42.11.0 feat(skillopt): held-out eval gate, honest receipts, ENFORCE + ablation opts (#1759)
* feat(skillopt): wire held-out gate, honest receipts, ENFORCE + ablation opts

Wire the F11 held-out gate into the orchestrator at checkpoint acceptance
(runHeldOutGate was dead code); parse + thread --held-out through CLI, batch,
fleet, background job, and the run_skillopt MCP op. Populate the real
receipt.baseline_sel_score (was hardcoded 0) and add a final-test eval
(test_score + baseline_test_score) via a shared scoreSkillOnTasks primitive.
Fix the --no-mutate proposed.md write (was a stub) and enforce maxRuntimeMin.

D16 ENFORCE in core mutation policy (assertBundledMutationHeldOut): mutating a
bundled skill in place requires a non-empty (>=5), benchmark-disjoint held-out
set or hard-refuses. Add three eval-internal ablation opts (reflectMode,
disableValidationGate, optimizerMode='one-shot-rewrite') recorded in the
receipt + audit; ROLLOUT_SUCCESS_THRESHOLD named constant.

Security: run_skillopt MCP op validates skill_name (kebab-only) and confines
caller-supplied benchmark/held-out paths to the skills dir for remote callers.

* test(skillopt): held-out gate, ENFORCE, one-shot rewrite, runtime + receipt honesty

New test/skillopt/rollout.test.ts (rollout had zero coverage). Held-out ENFORCE
unit cases + one-shot-rewrite fence handling (whole-response unwrap, embedded-fence
preserved, error path). E2E: F11 held-out BLOCKS/ALLOWS, bundled no-mutate write,
reflectMode/disableValidationGate/optimizerMode, maxRuntimeMin abort, receipt
baseline/test-score honesty, held-out/benchmark disjointness, D2 no-DB-pollution.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.42.9.0)

* docs: document skillopt held-out gate + bundled mutation requirement for v0.42.9.0

Wire --held-out into the skill-optimizer SKILL.md, guide flags/safety tables, and
the tutorial's bundled-skill step: mutating a bundled skill in place now requires
--allow-mutate-bundled AND --held-out (>=5 benchmark-disjoint tasks) or it
hard-refuses. Add the --held-out flag row + F11 held-out gate to the guide; update
the receipt contract to the honest baseline/test-score fields.

* fix(gateway): AI SDK v6 toolLoop compat — multi-turn tool calls work again

The ai@6.x bump tightened ModelMessage + tool-schema validation, which
silently broke every multi-turn tool loop. Both `gbrain skillopt` rollouts
and production background `subagent` jobs route through `chat()`/`toolLoop`
and crashed the moment the model called a tool ("messages do not match the
ModelMessage[] schema" / "schema is not a function"). Surfaced end-to-end
by the SkillOpt real-LLM eval.

Three fixes:
- chat(): wrap tool defs with the SDK's `jsonSchema()` helper instead of a
  bare `{jsonSchema}` object (v6 asSchema() treated the bare object as a
  thunk and threw).
- chat(): new exported pure `toModelMessages()` converts gbrain's
  provider-neutral ChatMessage[] into v6 ModelMessage[] — tool results ride
  a dedicated `role:'tool'` message with structured `{type,value}` output;
  null output preserved as json null. Load-bearing for the production
  subagent path, not just skillopt.
- rollout.ts: replace the inline params→schema mapper (dropped `items` on
  array params) with the shared `paramDefToSchema` single source of truth.

Pinned by test/gateway-model-messages.test.ts (8 cases). Folds into the
open v0.42.9.0 PR (#1759) — these complete the eval-readiness wave by
making skillopt actually run against a live model.

* fix(skillopt): budget no-pricing for Haiku silently scored every rollout 0

Surfaced by the SkillOpt real-LLM eval (Track B). Two coupled bugs that made
a budget-capped Haiku run report a vacuous "0/N" measurement in ~2ms with
zero LLM calls — indistinguishable from a real deficient-skill score:

1. Claude Haiku 4.5's canonical dateless id (`claude-haiku-4-5`) was missing
   from anthropic-pricing.ts (only the dated `-20251001` was present). With
   `--max-cost` set, BudgetTracker.reserve() threw no_pricing on the FIRST
   chat() of every rollout. Added the dateless entry (sonnet already had its
   dateless form).
2. runValidationGate swallowed that BUDGET_EXHAUSTED error — runWithLimit
   settled it as {ok:false}, which the gate turned into median:0. A pricing/cap
   crash became a fake score. The gate now scans settled results for
   isMustAbortError() and re-throws so the caller aborts loudly; ordinary
   (non-abort) rollout errors still fail-open to 0 (judge-hiccup posture kept).

Pinned by test/skillopt/validate-gate-abort.test.ts (3 cases). Folds into the
open v0.42.9.0 PR (#1759).

* fix(ci): llms-full.txt over size budget — drop what-schemas-unlock from full bundle

The toolLoop + budget bug-fix annotations grew CLAUDE.md, pushing llms-full.txt
to 756KB over the 750KB FULL_SIZE_BUDGET (the `build-llms > size budget` test
failed, failing the `test` CI job). CLAUDE.md stays inlined by design (it's the
point of the one-fetch bundle), so per the budget comment's own guidance ("ship
with includeInFull=false exclusions") this excludes docs/what-schemas-unlock.md
(15.4KB value-explainer, not load-bearing operational reference) from
llms-full.txt; it stays linked in llms.txt. Bundle now 740KB with ~9KB headroom.
No budget bump — 750KB is near the ~190k-token-context fit ceiling.

* chore(ci): re-admit policy docs into ci-cache-hash before doc relocation

docs/**/*.md is deny-listed from the CI cache hash (test-irrelevant). The
CLAUDE.md restructure moves test/release POLICY into docs/TESTING.md +
docs/RELEASING.md, which DO carry contracts the test suite reads. Without
re-admitting them, a policy-only edit would produce the same cache hash and
skip the test shard that runs the build-llms + doc-history guards (false-pass).

Adds an ALLOW_PATTERNS re-admit step after the deny, scoped to the named
policy docs (not a blanket docs un-deny). Lands FIRST, before any doc moves.

Pinned by 3 new cases in test/scripts/ci-cache-hash.test.ts: TESTING.md +
RELEASING.md edits MUST change the hash; docs/guide.md still must not.

* refactor(docs): relocate Key files / thin-client / Testing out of CLAUDE.md (verbatim)

CLAUDE.md had grown to 592KB / ~147k tokens auto-loaded every session (~77% of
the llms-full.txt single-fetch bundle). The per-file index was append-only by
mandate. This is the exact thin-dispatcher-vs-fat-blob anti-pattern gbrain exists
to fix, so CLAUDE.md becomes a thin orientation + resolver that points at
on-demand docs.

This commit is the VERBATIM move (content-preserving — the next commit compresses):
- docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md   <- ## Key files + the calibration key-files
  cluster + Schema Cathedral v3 impl detail
- docs/architecture/thin-client.md <- ## Thin-client routing
- docs/TESTING.md                   <- ## Testing

CLAUDE.md gains: a Reference map (resolver), a Maintaining section (the
anti-disease rule), and a Cross-cutting invariants subsection under Architecture
so the must-never-violate rules (trust fail-closed, sourceScopeOpts isolation,
JSONB trap, engine parity, contract-first, migrations, multi-source) still
auto-load after the index moved out.

Result: CLAUDE.md 592KB -> 61KB; llms-full.txt 740KB -> 210KB (new docs link-only
until compressed). build-llms drift + budget test green; verify 29/29 green.

* refactor(docs): compress relocated docs to current-state + add recurrence guard

Compresses the verbatim-relocated reference docs from append-only release-history
to current-state-only (the disease cure), then makes recurrence structurally
impossible via a CI guard.

Compression (fan-out subagents + adversarial verify, audited mechanically):
- KEY_FILES.md 453KB -> 356KB; TESTING.md 42KB -> 38KB; thin-client.md already clean.
- 393/393 entries preserved; every src/test/scripts path from the verbatim original
  survives (mechanical comm-check); zero bolded **v0. markers remain.
- Conservative ratio (~22%) because the content is invariant-dense — correctness
  over brevity. Dropped: **vX.Y.Z (#NNN):** clauses, codex/review tags, contributor
  credits, PR-numbers-as-ids, pre-fix/then/was-now history deltas. Kept: every
  exported symbol, invariant, and Pinned-by reference. Verbatim original recoverable
  at git show <relocation-commit>:docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md.

Recurrence guard (scripts/check-key-files-current-state.sh, wired into verify + check:all):
- HARD: bans the bolded **v0.<digit> marker in the reference docs (scoped — plain
  'as of pgvector 0.7' prose is fine, no false positives).
- HARD: CLAUDE.md size cap (90KB; currently 61KB) — the structural backstop.
- Pinned by test/scripts/check-key-files-current-state.test.ts (7 cases).

Content contracts (test/build-llms.test.ts, +5 cases per codex outside-voice):
CLAUDE.md keeps inline ship IRON RULES (version format, document-release,
never-hand-roll); AGENTS.md keeps its boot order; llms indexes the new docs;
KEY_FILES stays link-only (not inlined).

Privacy: scrubbed the relocated 'wintermute/chat/' source-boost examples + the
literal harvest-lint regex to generic placeholders (legitimate in allowlisted
CLAUDE.md; genericized for the new public docs per the privacy rule).

Reverts the 284c50a4 band-aid: re-inlines docs/what-schemas-unlock.md now that the
restructure freed ~530KB of bundle headroom (llms-full.txt 740KB -> 225KB).

verify 30/30 green (incl. new check:doc-history).

* refactor(docs): relocate verbose release process to docs/RELEASING.md

The highest-/ship-risk commit (isolated so it can revert alone). Moves the verbose
release + contributor procedure out of CLAUDE.md, keeping every ship-critical IRON
RULE inline so /ship + /document-release (which read CLAUDE.md) cannot regress.

Moved to docs/RELEASING.md: pre-ship test requirements; the CHANGELOG-branch-scoped
+ CHANGELOG voice + release-summary template; the 'To take advantage of vX' block
spec; version migrations + migration-is-canonical; schema state tracking; GitHub
Actions SHA maintenance; PR-descriptions-cover-the-branch; community-PR-wave;
checking-out-PRs-from-garrytan-agents.

Kept INLINE in CLAUDE.md (ship-critical IRON RULES — do NOT move):
- the Version-locations table (5-file sync) + the 3-line consistency audit
- Conductor branch=workspace
- Post-ship /document-release (MANDATORY)
- Privacy + Responsible-disclosure rules (Privacy also anchors the check-privacy
  allowlist — the only place allowed to name the fork)
- PR-title-version-first
- never-hand-roll-ship (Skill routing)
Plus a new ## Releasing pointer ('Before any ship, read docs/RELEASING.md in full')
and a resolver row.

CLAUDE.md 61KB -> 39KB (592KB -> 39KB overall, 93% cut; ~9k tokens auto-loaded vs
~147k). CLAUDE.md size-gate tightened 90KB -> 60KB. The content-contract tests pin
that the inline IRON RULES (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO, document-release, hand-roll
ship) did NOT move out. The moved ranges carry no banned fork name, so RELEASING.md
needs no privacy allowlist entry. verify 30/30; bundle 225KB -> 204KB.

* docs(changelog): note CLAUDE.md restructure in v0.42.9.0

The CLAUDE.md thin-resolver restructure (592KB → 39KB) rides in this
release; record it under the existing v0.42.9.0 For-contributors section.
No version bump — v0.42.9.0 is unreleased and already allocated to this PR.

* fix(ci): ci-cache-hash re-admit matched a literal \t, a no-op on GNU grep

The policy-doc re-admit (75992b77) put `\t` inline in the ALLOW patterns
passed to `grep -E`. BSD grep (macOS local) treats `\t` as a tab so it
worked locally; GNU grep (Ubuntu CI) treats it as literal `t`, so nothing
re-admitted and docs/TESTING.md / docs/RELEASING.md stayed deny-listed —
the two policy-doc tests failed on CI shard 6 (1097 pass / 2 fail).

Build ALLOW_RE with `printf '\t(%s)'` so the tab is a real byte, identical
in construction to DENY_RE (line 117), which the CI log shows matches
correctly on GNU grep. End-to-end: editing docs/TESTING.md now flips the
hash; a normal docs/*.md add still does not (deny stays scoped).

* fix(skillopt): feed the scorer's success criteria to the optimizer

Surfaced by the SkillOpt real-LLM eval (Track B). The reflect step was shown
only a pass/fail score and the agent transcript — never WHAT the benchmark
judge rewards. On a skill judged by structure (e.g. "must include a
Confidence: line") the optimizer proposed plausible-but-off edits ("close with
a synthesis") that never satisfied the literal check; every candidate scored 0
on D_sel, the validation gate rejected them all, and the skill text never
changed (optimized === baseline === 0).

Fix: render each benchmark Judge (rule checks / llm rubric / qrels) into
plain-English criteria via new exported describeJudge / describeJudges, and
thread them into the reflect prompt (a SUCCESS CRITERIA block) for both the
loop reflect calls and the one-shot-rewrite path. The orchestrator computes the
distinct criteria across train+sel+test once. The optimizer system prompt now
instructs it to satisfy the criteria through genuine content, never empty
keywords — reward-hacking stays defended by the independent held-out gate
(cat32 confirms the gate catches a keyword-stuffing hack).

End-to-end this took a deficient skill from 0.00 to 1.00 on a held-out set it
never trained on. Pinned by test/skillopt/reflect.test.ts (describeJudge per
kind, describeJudges dedup, criteria present/absent in the prompt). Folds into
the open v0.42.9.0 PR (#1759).

eefe8b5741 v0.42.1.0 feat: gbrain skillopt — self-evolving skills (closes #1481) (#1563)
* feat(skillopt): foundation modules — types, lr-schedule, benchmark, score, audit, lock

* feat(skillopt): edit primitives — apply-edits (D5+D9), rejected-buffer LRU, version-store (D8 history-intent-first)

* feat(skillopt): rollout (D2 gateway.toolLoop + D13 read-only allowlist), reflect (D7 two calls), validate-gate (D12 median+epsilon, D4 parallel), preflight (D3), bundled-skill-gate (D16)

* feat(skillopt): orchestrator (D6 slow-update, D10 ASCII diagrams, D11 caching), checkpoint, bootstrap (D15 sentinel), CLI dispatch + help

* feat(skillopt): cycle phase (F1 dream-loop wiring), PROTECTED_JOB_NAMES + MCP op (F6 admin scope + allowlist) + Minion handler (F7 --background)

* feat(skillopt): full cathedral — --all batch (F4), --target-models fleet (F5), write-capture (F10), held-out scaffold (F11), adversarial suite 41 cases (F2), E2E PGLite (F3), meta-skill bundle (T7), reflect+judge evals (F8+F9), docs (T10)

* chore: bump version to v0.42.0.0 (MINOR — significant new feature)

* fix(skillopt): wire trajectories from forward gate to reflect + fix parseEditsResponse parser misuse

Two related v0.42.0.0 bugs that conspired to make `runSkillOpt` structurally
unable to accept any candidate edit. Either alone would have killed self-evolution;
together they made the loop a no-op for every input.

**Bug 1 (orchestrator gap):** `runOptimizationLoop` in orchestrator.ts called
`runReflect({successes: [], failures: []})` with hardcoded empty arrays. The
forward gate's `scoredRollouts` were computed then voided. `runReflect`
short-circuits both modes when their batches are empty, so the optimizer was
never asked to propose an edit. Every step hit the no_edits_applied branch.

Fix: add `scoredRollouts: ScoredRollout[]` to `GateResult` and
`runsPerTask?: number` to `ValidateGateOpts`. Forward pass uses
`runsPerTask: 1`; orchestrator partitions returned rollouts by `score >= 0.5`
and threads real successes + failures into `runReflect`.

**Bug 2 (parser misuse):** `parseEditsResponse` in reflect.ts routed every
optimizer response through `parseJudgeJson` first. `parseJudgeJson` looks for
a `score` key (it's a judge-output parser, not an edits parser) and returns
null for any JSON without one — including the well-formed `{"edits": [...]}`
the optimizer is contractually required to emit. The function then early-
returned `[]` and the actual `tryExtractEdits` path on the next line was
unreachable dead code.

Fix: drop the wrong-typed guard. `parseEditsResponse` now calls
`tryExtractEdits` directly. Export it so `reflect.test.ts` can pin the
contract independently of the chat transport.

**Why this slipped through 152 prior skillopt tests:** zero unit coverage
of `parseEditsResponse` or `runReflect`. The existing E2E `all-reject` case
asserted no_improvement (which was true for the wrong reason — empty edits,
not gate rejection). Both bugs were structurally invisible to the existing
test surface.

**New coverage:**

- `test/skillopt/reflect.test.ts` (15 cases):
  - 8 `parseEditsResponse` cases including the IRON-RULE regression pin
    for the v0.42.0.1 fix (`{"edits": [...]}` JSON must survive the parser).
  - 7 `runReflect` D7 contract cases: both modes fire, empty-batch skips,
    additive token usage, one-mode-throws-other-still-works, rejected-buffer
    flows into anti-bias prompt.
  - Documents the trailing-comma limitation as an explicit out-of-scope pin
    (so a future tightening of `tryExtractEdits` lights this test up
    intentionally).

- `test/e2e/skillopt-loop.serial.test.ts` (7 cases):
  - HAPPY PATH: stubbed `gateway.chat` acts as both target agent (emits
    sections based on skill content) and optimizer (proposes a real
    add-Citations edit). Drives `runSkillOpt` end-to-end against PGLite.
    Asserts outcome=accepted, SKILL.md mutated with new section,
    frontmatter preserved (D5), history has one committed row,
    best.md mirrors disk, delta > epsilon, receipt fields populated.
  - 5 broken cases (each isolates a distinct orchestrator-visible failure):
    1. Below-baseline regression: optimizer proposes a destructive edit;
       gate rejects with reason=below_baseline; SKILL.md unchanged;
       rejected-buffer captures the bad edit for anti-bias context.
    2. Malformed reflect JSON: orchestrator degrades gracefully to
       no_improvement without crashing.
    3. Anchor-not-found: applyEditBatch rejects all; sel gate skipped;
       rejected-buffer captures with reason=apply_failed.
    4. Budget exhausted mid-step: outcome=aborted, no pending rows survive.
    5. Converged-skill re-run: starting from already-perfect skill →
       no_improvement (no thrash on a well-tuned starting point).
  - IDEMPOTENT RE-RUN: drive runSkillOpt twice in sequence. Run 1 accepts.
    Run 2 sees improved baseline, no failures, returns no_improvement.
    SKILL.md byte-identical to post-run-1; history still has exactly 1
    committed row. Proves stability at the fixed point.

All hermetic (no DATABASE_URL, no API keys). PGLite in-memory engine,
tempdir SKILL.md + benchmark, stubbed gateway.chat via
`__setChatTransportForTests`. `.serial.test.ts` because the stub installs
module state and the loop walks shared disk state across epochs.

Test counts after fix: 174 skillopt-surface tests pass (149 pre-existing
unit + 15 new reflect unit + 3 existing E2E + 7 new E2E). Typecheck clean.

* fix(cycle): align ALL_PHASES skillopt position with actual dispatch order

v0.42.0.0 added skillopt to ALL_PHASES right after `patterns` (line 127), but
the dispatch block in runCycle (line ~1912) actually runs skillopt between
`conversation_facts_backfill` and `embed`. The two were inconsistent, and the
serial test `report.phases.map(p => p.phase)).toEqual(ALL_PHASES)` was failing
on master because of it.

A second pre-existing failure: the two phase-count assertions in
`test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts` still said `toBe(20)` even though
ALL_PHASES grew to 21 when skillopt was added. The author bumped the array
but forgot the test.

Two fixes, one commit:

1. Move `'skillopt'` in ALL_PHASES from after `patterns` to between
   `conversation_facts_backfill` and `embed`, matching where runCycle
   actually dispatches it. Runtime behavior is unchanged — only the
   declaration order moves. Updated the surrounding comment to call out
   the position invariant and reference the test that pins it.

2. Update both `toBe(20)` assertions in cycle.serial.test.ts to `toBe(21)`
   with a v0.42.0.0 history line in the running comments.

Why declaration follows runtime (not the other way around): the comment
intent ("Runs AFTER patterns — graph-fresh") is still satisfied because
"after the entire main graph-mutating cluster" is strictly fresher than
"right after patterns". No design intent is lost.

Test result: cycle.serial.test.ts is now 28/28 (was 27/28 on master + my
prior commit). Skillopt suite still 174/174.

* fix(ci): bump PHASE_SCOPE assertion to 21 + fix skill-optimizer Anti-Patterns case

Two CI failures pre-existing on this branch since the v0.42.0.0 skillopt
cathedral landed; master is green because skillopt didn't exist there yet.

1. test/phase-scope-coverage.test.ts asserted ALL_PHASES.length === 20.
   skillopt is the 21st phase. Bumped to 21 with v0.42.0.0 history line
   in the comment chain. Sibling fix to the cycle.serial.test.ts bump
   in commit 08ad2468.

2. skills/skill-optimizer/SKILL.md had `## Anti-patterns` (lowercase p).
   skills-conformance.test.ts asserts `## Anti-Patterns` (capital P) as
   the required section header. Single-character rename.

Local: 174 skillopt-surface tests + 6 phase-scope tests + 249 skills-
conformance tests all green. Typecheck clean.

Remaining CI delta: 5 put_page facts backstop failures in shard 10 that
reproduce only on Linux CI, not locally even with empty env / cleared
HOME / max-concurrency=1. The error surface is `r.isError === true` with
no further detail captured in the bun:test output. Pushing these 2 fixes
first to narrow the CI signal; will instrument if the 5 persist.

* fix(e2e): align dream-cycle-phase-order + onboard-full-flow with v0.41/v0.42 reality

Two stale E2E assertion files surfaced by a full local E2E run against
real Postgres (the gbrain-test-pg container on port 5434). Neither file
is in the CI E2E job (CI only runs mechanical.test.ts + mcp.test.ts +
skills.test.ts + zeroentropy-live.test.ts), so the drift has been latent.

1. `test/e2e/dream-cycle-phase-order-pglite.test.ts`
   EXPECTED_PHASES was missing 4 phases that landed in master since the
   list was last revised:
     - extract_atoms (v0.41 T9 — atom extraction, after extract_facts)
     - synthesize_concepts (v0.41 T9 — concept synthesis, after patterns)
     - conversation_facts_backfill (v0.41.11.0, after calibration_profile)
     - skillopt (v0.42.0.0 — self-evolving skills, between
       conversation_facts_backfill and embed)
   Updated to 21 entries in the actual runtime dispatch order (matches
   ALL_PHASES exactly). 5/5 tests in the file pass after.

2. `test/e2e/onboard-full-flow.test.ts`
   `runAllOnboardChecks` shape test asserted exactly 4 checks; v0.42's
   type-unification cathedral (PR #1542, T13-T15) added 3 more
   (`pack_upgrade_available`, `type_proliferation`, `dangling_aliases`)
   for a total of 7. And `empty brain returns 0 remediations` regressed
   because `pack_upgrade_available` can emit a manual_only remediation
   on brains where gbrain-base@1.x is active and gbrain-base-v2 is
   registered as a successor. Tightened that assertion to `total <= 1`
   AND kept a per-check guard asserting takes_count remediations stay 0
   (the original test's load-bearing claim — A12 two-gate consent).
   13/13 tests in the file pass after.

Honest scope: 4 other E2E files still fail locally after this commit
(cycle.test.ts, dream.test.ts, phantom-redirect.test.ts,
sync-lock-recovery.test.ts), each for a distinct pre-existing master
bug unrelated to v0.42 skillopt work:
  - cycle.test.ts (5 fails): PostgresEngine.getConfig falls back to
    db.getConnection() singleton via the `get sql()` getter when no
    poolSize is set; the new conversation_facts_backfill phase chain
    hits this fallback even though the test's setupDB() connects both
    the singleton AND the engine. Race condition between the test's
    singleton lifecycle and the phase's getConfig call. Deeper fix
    needed in PostgresEngine.getConfig (use this._sql directly with
    explicit fallback only on user-driven CLI paths).
  - dream.test.ts (1 fail): expects "concepts/testing" slug to appear
    in dream cycle output, gets empty array. Related to v0.42 concept
    type-unification semantics.
  - phantom-redirect.test.ts (2 fails): concurrent-sync race +
    postgres-js text-string embedding survival. Master-level data-path
    bug; would need its own fix wave.
  - sync-lock-recovery.test.ts (1 fail): `gbrain sync --break-lock
    --all` exits 0 but test expects 1 with a shell-loop hint. CLI
    behavior changed in a master commit; need to either restore the
    refusal behavior or update the assertion.

None of these 4 block CI (E2E job doesn't run them). Filed as a
TODOS.md entry for a follow-up wave; the 2 in this commit are the
ones that mirror v0.42 work landing.

Local: 130/136 E2E files green, 927/940 tests pass (was 925/940
before these fixes; the 2 files this commit fixes added 7 newly-
passing tests).

* fix(ci): quarantine query-cache-knobs-hash.test.ts to serial runner

CI shard 10 (commit 4d721077) failed 5 tests in the
`SemanticQueryCache cross-mode isolation (CDX-4 hotfix)` describe block,
all ~7-34ms each, all expecting writes/reads to round-trip through one
shared PGLite engine + a `beforeEach DELETE FROM query_cache`. Passes
9/9 locally; fails 5/9 on Linux CI under bun's default in-file
max-concurrency=4.

Classic intra-file concurrency race shape: test A's `beforeEach`
clears the table → test A's `store` writes a row → test B's
`beforeEach` (concurrent with A's `store`) clears the table → test A's
follow-up COUNT query returns 0. Same root cause that quarantined
`embed-stale.test.ts`, `brain-allowlist.test.ts`, and
`schema-pack-find-pack-successors.test.ts` to the serial runner in
prior fix waves (documented in v0.41.22.0 CI fix wave).

Fix: rename to `query-cache-knobs-hash.serial.test.ts` so the v0.26.7
serial-tests runner picks it up at `max-concurrency=1`. Tests still
exercise the actual cache logic — no test deleted, no production code
changed. The describe block's `beforeAll` engine + `beforeEach`
TRUNCATE pattern works correctly at serial concurrency.

Local: 12/12 in this file + 52/52 in the serial runner. Production
SemanticQueryCache code is untouched.

* fix(heavy): frontmatter_scan_wallclock — opt into --no-embedding so CI runners work

Heavy tests workflow run 26542447602 (commit 483a5577) failed on the
first heavy script:

  [fm_wallclock] FAIL: gbrain init exited non-zero
  No embedding provider configured. Set one of:
    OPENAI_API_KEY / ZEROENTROPY_API_KEY / VOYAGE_API_KEY
  Or defer setup: gbrain init --pglite --no-embedding

The v0.37 D9 hard-require landed in init.ts: `gbrain init --pglite` now
refuses to proceed without an embedding provider configured. The
heavy-tests GitHub workflow doesn't pipe any embedding API keys
(deliberate — the heavy tests measure ops shape, not LLM behavior), so
every CI invocation now blocks at step 2 of this script.

The script's whole purpose is measuring `gbrain doctor`'s
frontmatter-scan wallclock — it never embeds, never calls
`gbrain embed`, never queries vectors. The right fix is to opt out of
the provider requirement via the same `--no-embedding` flag init.ts
already exposes for this exact "deferred setup" case.

Verified locally:
  TMP=$(mktemp -d); GBRAIN_HOME="$TMP" \
    bun run src/cli.ts init --pglite --yes --no-embedding
  # exit 0, brain initialized.

No production code change. One-line + comment in the script.

* fix(heavy): sync_lock_regression — pass --no-embed so CI runs measure lock contention, not key absence

Heavy tests workflow run 26542545802 (commit 7962d312, after the
previous fm_wallclock fix) failed at the next heavy script in the chain:

  [sync_lock_regression] outcomes: winners=0 losers=0 unknown=4
  [sync_lock_regression] FAIL: expected 1 winner, got 0
  [sync_lock_regression] FAIL: expected 3 lock-busy losers, got 0

Each of the 4 parallel `gbrain sync` invocations failed for the same
reason — none of them ever even got to the lock-acquire step:

    Embedding model "zeroentropyai:zembed-1" requires ZEROENTROPY_API_KEY.
    Re-run with --no-embed to import-only and embed later once the key is set.

The CI runner doesn't pipe any embedding-provider API keys (deliberate —
heavy tests measure ops shape, not LLM behavior), and sync now hard-fails
when its embed step can't reach a configured provider.

This script measures the writer-lock race shape — `gbrain-sync` row in
`gbrain_cycle_locks`, exactly-one-winner semantics, N-1 fail-fast losers
with "Another sync is in progress", zero leaked rows post-run. It never
needed embeddings; the original write predates the hard-require landing.

Fix: pass `--no-embed` to the sync invocation. Same kind of fix as
fm_wallclock (commit 7962d312) but on the sync side rather than init.

No production code touched. One-line change in the bash script.

* fix(heavy): sync_lock_regression — register source via psql + use --repo + tolerate doctor warns

Heavy tests run 26542638471 (commit 60145eee, after the --no-embed
fix) failed at the same script but at a downstream step:

  > Source "default" has no local_path. Run: gbrain sources add default --path <path>

Three independent bugs in the script that all surfaced at once after
v0.41's source-registry landed:

1. `gbrain config set sync.repo_path` is the legacy way; sync now
   reads `sources.local_path` first. Replaced with an upsert into the
   sources table via psql:
     INSERT INTO sources (id, name, local_path)
     VALUES ('default', 'default', $BRAIN_DIR)
     ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET local_path = EXCLUDED.local_path
   Kept the legacy `config set sync.repo_path` line too as
   belt-and-suspenders for any downstream caller that still reads it.

2. `gbrain sync --dir <path>` is silently ignored; sync's CLI parser
   recognizes `--repo`, not `--dir`. Switched to `--repo`.

3. `bun run src/cli.ts doctor --json` at the top (used to apply
   migrations as a side effect) exits non-zero whenever ANY check
   warns — including the new "no embedding provider configured"
   warning on a fresh CI runner. The script's `set -e` aborted at
   line 53 before reaching any of the sync invocations. Added `|| true`
   since the migration runs regardless of doctor's exit verdict.

Verified locally — `DATABASE_URL=... bash tests/heavy/sync_lock_regression.sh`
output:
  [sync 1] rc= (lock-busy: 'Another sync is in progress')
  [sync 2] rc=0 (winner)
  [sync 3] rc= (lock-busy: 'Another sync is in progress')
  [sync 4] rc= (lock-busy: 'Another sync is in progress')
  outcomes: winners=1 losers=3 unknown=0
  post-run gbrain_cycle_locks(gbrain-sync) row count: 0
  OK — 1 winner, 3 lock-busy losers, no leaked lock rows.

Production code untouched. All three fixes are in the bash script.

* docs(skillopt): hands-on tutorial for auto-improving a skill + discoverability

There was no tutorial for skillopt — only a reference guide
(docs/guides/skillopt.md) that opens at --bootstrap-from-routing and
assumes you already understand benchmarks, and an agent-facing SKILL.md.
README had ZERO skillopt mention. The one thing a user must hand-author
(the benchmark JSONL) was taught nowhere with a worked example.

New: docs/tutorials/improving-skills-with-skillopt.md — Diataxis tutorial
(learning-oriented), copy-pasteable end to end:
  1. mental model in two sentences (SKILL.md is the trainable param, the
     agent is frozen)
  2. write your first benchmark from scratch — a complete 15-task rule-judge
     starter you paste and run, with the full check-op table
     (contains/regex/section_present/max_chars/min_citations/tool_called/
     tool_not_called)
  3. --dry-run cost preview (and that it exits 2 by convention, not failure)
  4. real run + reading accepted(0)/no_improvement(1)/aborted(2) with the
     actual stderr output shape
  5. where output lands (best.md, versions/, history.json, rejected.json,
     audit jsonl)
  6. accept/reject — bundled vs user skills, --no-mutate vs
     --allow-mutate-bundled
  7. iterate by sharpening the benchmark

The load-bearing fix the tutorial makes that the reference guide got wrong:
the DEFAULT --split 4:1:5 needs ~50 tasks before it runs (sel = N/10, floor
5). A first-time author writing 10-15 tasks hits `D_sel has N task(s)
(need >=5)` and bounces. The tutorial ships 15 tasks + `--split 1:1:1`
(clean 5/5/5) so the copy-paste path actually works. Verified against the
real loadBenchmark + splitBench: the exact shipped block parses 15 unique
tasks and splits 5/5/5 with sel>=5; the system's own error message confirms
"need ~50 total for 4:1:5".

Discoverability (Diataxis cross-linking):
  - README.md tutorials section: new entry (was zero skillopt mention)
  - docs/tutorials/README.md: added under ## Shipped
  - docs/guides/skillopt.md: "New to this? Start with the tutorial" callout

Every claim devex-verified against source: exit-code map from
skillopt.ts (accepted:0/no_improvement:1/aborted:2/errored:2), stderr
format from skillopt.ts:286-292, check ops from score.ts, output paths
from SKILL.md, split math from benchmark.ts.

* docs: regenerate llms-full.txt after skillopt tutorial + README edit

Refreshes the inlined doc bundle so the committed llms-full.txt matches
fresh `bun run build:llms` output (test/build-llms.test.ts drift guard).
Picks up the README tutorials-section edit from c39dbdb1. The new tutorial
file itself isn't curated into scripts/llms-config.ts (the bundle curates
a fixed doc set, not every tutorial) — this is purely the README delta.

* fix(ci): stop embed-preflight leaking gateway config into facts-backstop shard

CI shard 10 failed 5 `put_page facts backstop` tests with:

  [embed(openai:text-embedding-3-small)] Incorrect API key provided: sk-test

(captured by the diagnostic stderr added in a prior commit). Root cause is
a cross-file module-state leak, not a logic bug:

- `embed-preflight.test.ts` calls `configureGateway({env:{OPENAI_API_KEY:
  'sk-test'}})` to drive credential-validation scenarios. It resets the
  gateway `beforeEach` but never AFTER its last test, so it leaves the
  gateway configured with `sk-test`.
- bun runs every file in a shard inside ONE process. The residual config
  bleeds into the next file. When `facts-backstop-gating.test.ts` lands in
  the same shard, its put_page calls see `isAvailable('embedding') === true`
  (the key is *present*, just invalid), so put_page attempts a real embed
  and 401s before the backstop gating even runs.
- It's intermittent across master merges because shard bin-packing changes
  which files co-locate. (It "resolved" after the v107 merge earlier for
  exactly this reason, then came back.)

R1/R2 test-isolation lint doesn't catch this — it's `configureGateway`
module state, not `process.env` or `mock.module`.

Two fixes, both using the gateway's own `resetGateway()` seam (no
process.env, R-compliant):

1. embed-preflight.test.ts — `afterAll(() => resetGateway())` so the leaker
   cleans up after the whole file. Primary fix; also protects any OTHER
   shard-mate that reads gateway state.
2. facts-backstop-gating.test.ts — `beforeEach(() => resetGateway())` so the
   suite is deterministic regardless of ambient gateway config. Defense in
   depth: isAvailable('embedding') is now reliably false → put_page uses
   noEmbed → the import never embeds → only the backstop gating (the suite's
   actual subject) is exercised.

Verified: running leaker+victim in one process (the shard repro) goes
16/16; full shard 10 goes 1208/1208 (was 5 fail in CI). Typecheck clean.

* docs(skillopt): make benchmark authoring an agent job, not a human chore

The prior tutorial taught a human to hand-write a 15-task benchmark — but
nobody does that. The real workflow is: user says "make skill X better,"
the AGENT authors the benchmark and runs the optimizer. The agent-facing
dispatcher didn't actually cover that.

Gap found: skill-optimizer/SKILL.md documented exactly one authoring path,
`--bootstrap-from-routing`, which (a) requires a pre-existing
routing-eval.jsonl (bootstrap-benchmark.ts:57-63 refuses without it) and
(b) generates tasks from ROUTING fixtures — which test dispatch ("does
this phrasing pick this skill"), not output quality. So an agent told to
improve a skill with no benchmark had no documented way to author a
*quality* benchmark; it'd have to reinvent the JSONL format the human
tutorial teaches.

Two fixes:

1. skills/skill-optimizer/SKILL.md — new "Authoring the benchmark yourself
   (the common case)" section: read the target SKILL.md, generate ~15
   realistic tasks, attach rule judges (contains/max_chars/min_citations/
   section_present/regex/tool_called), write the JSONL, run with
   `--split 1:1:1` (the default 4:1:5 needs ~50 tasks). Decision-tree row
   "New skill, no benchmark" now says "Author one" instead of pointing at
   bootstrap-from-routing; the bootstrap row is reframed as a head-start
   that only applies when routing fixtures exist and notes routing tasks
   test dispatch, not quality.

2. docs/tutorials/improving-skills-with-skillopt.md — new "The easiest
   path: ask your agent" section up top. Tells humans to just tell their
   agent "improve my X skill — write a benchmark first," and frames the
   manual walkthrough as "read this when you want to understand or
   hand-curate what the agent is doing."

Verified: conformance 249/0, resolver 99/0, build-llms drift guard 7/0,
cross-link resolves.

* feat(skillopt): --bootstrap-from-skill starter benchmark generator

Generate a quality benchmark from a skill's SKILL.md directly, no
routing-eval.jsonl required. One LLM call emits JSONL tasks (each with rule
judges) that the agent reviews + strengthens before optimizing.

- runBootstrapFromSkill: JSONL output parsed line-by-line with skip-bad-line
  salvage (a truncated final line drops, the rest survive); a task is kept only
  when >=2 valid rule checks survive; provider errors propagate instead of
  collapsing to bootstrap_empty.
- --bootstrap-tasks N (default 15, cap 50); maxTokens scales with the count.
- Extracted assertBenchmarkAbsent + readSkillBodyOrThrow shared with the routing
  bootstrap; hardened runBootstrap's routing-eval parse to skip malformed lines.
- CLI: --bootstrap-from-skill short-circuit + 6-way mutual exclusion; parseFlags
  exported for unit tests. The benchmark-not-found hint + --help now point here.
- The generator's REVIEW line prints the paste-ready
  `--bootstrap-reviewed --split 1:1:1` next command (the default 4:1:5 split
  refuses a 15-task starter at D_sel >= 5).
- 20 hermetic cases incl. round-trip into loadBenchmark + splitBench(1:1:1).

* docs(skillopt): make --bootstrap-from-skill the primary no-benchmark path

The agent runs --bootstrap-from-skill, strengthens the generated judges (they
are weak drafts), deletes the sentinel, then runs --bootstrap-reviewed
--split 1:1:1. Freehand authoring is demoted to the fallback for the rare skill
the generator can't draft well. Updates the Iron Law, decision tree, and
anti-patterns to cover both bootstrap modes and the 15-task / --split 1:1:1
gotcha.

* docs: surface --bootstrap-from-skill in README + skillopt reference

- docs/guides/skillopt.md: 30-second pitch leads with --bootstrap-from-skill;
  flag table adds --bootstrap-from-skill + --bootstrap-tasks rows.
- README.md: skillopt tutorial pointer mentions generating a starter benchmark.
- Regenerated llms-full.txt (README is in the bundle).

* fix(ci): bump FULL_SIZE_BUDGET 700KB→750KB for legitimate CLAUDE.md growth

The skillopt wave annotations + merged v0.41.34-36 master releases pushed
llms-full.txt to 700,423 bytes — 423 over the 700KB cap — failing the
build-llms size-budget test on CI shard 6. CLAUDE.md is ~540KB (77% of the
bundle) and is the whole point of the one-fetch artifact, so it stays inlined;
the budget tracks its per-release growth. 750KB still fits 200k+ context models.
