The gate scanned only `*.md *.yml *.yaml *.json *.toml *.sh *.ts *.js`. A
`postgres.env`, a `.container` quadlet, an `.ini`, or an extension-less dotfile
— exactly the shapes the dotfiles tier is made of — was never read at all.
Discovered while deciding what else belongs in `dotfiles/`: `~/.config`
carries `containers/systemd/postgres.env` with a real `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`,
which the ignore list did not cover either (`git check-ignore` says so: `.env`
does not match `postgres.env`).
Token SHAPES now scan the entire staged diff, every file type; bcrypt hashes
and `Authorization: Basic` headers joined the shape list. Credential
ASSIGNMENTS are scanned in non-prose files only — the auto-learned memory tier
is prose *about* credentials (7 such hits measured on the tracked tree), and a
gate that fires there gets overridden until it means nothing. Markdown keeps
shape detection, which is what it had before.
Three invariants, each pinned by a test in tests/secret-gate.bats (13 tests,
black-box: the hook is copied into a scratch repo and git itself runs it):
- Fail closed. The first version of this rewrite passed `-I` to `git diff`,
which is not valid there; the empty file list made every secret commit sail
through, and a blind gate looks exactly like a clean tree. If the hook cannot
read the staged diff it now refuses the commit.
- Only ADDED lines can leak. The gate refused the redaction commit in this
branch because the diff still carried the removed password — a gate that
blocks the removal of a secret holds the leak hostage.
- Path-valued variables (`…_FILE=`, `…_PATH=`) and placeholder/indirected
values are not secrets, so the gate stays worth listening to.
`.gitignore` quarantines `*.env` at any name, and gains the theme-media rule
whose untracking lands in the next commit. `AGENTS.md` states the new contract.

The auto-learned memory tier for serverAppConfigs carried, in plaintext, the
Caddy basicauth bcrypt hash for dankuser, the password behind it, and the
Pi-hole internal password. The file is tracked, so all three are in git
history on every machine that has pulled this repo, and in every agent
context window that has read the bucket.
Operational knowledge preserved in full (which auth layer fails, how to
reset, that the CLI hash is what CivetWeb validates, hot-reload through the
file watcher); only the credential values removed.
Both credentials still need rotation: redaction does not un-leak history.
That is an operator action on Dankclaw, not something this commit can do.

The Matt Pocock engineering skills (triage, to-tickets, to-spec, research,
implement) assume per-repo config for three things: where work items live, what
the triage label vocabulary is, and where domain docs sit. Nothing here declared
any of them, so every skill run re-guessed.
Frank's decisions, 2026-10-20: Gitea on Dankclaw as the tracker (no gh, no tea on
any box, so it is recorded as prose — auth via a 600 curl config, the endpoint
table, the 404-on-empty-token / form-encoded-merge / empty-200-on-merge traps,
and the AGENTS.md laws a skill must not renegotiate); the canonical triage label
vocabulary kept as-is, with the five labels created on the tracker (the repo had
zero, so nothing collides); single-context domain docs.
The configuration moved out of the skill's default docs/agents/ and into the one
knowledge base this repo allows: three pages under omp-docs/skills/, an empty
omp-docs/decisions/ carrying the ADR format rule, an "## Agent skills" pointer
block in AGENTS.md, index entries, and a log entry. The glossary is deliberately
not created — every candidate term already has an owner in system/, core/ or
skills/, and a term list that paraphrases them is a second owner of facts already
written down. Known cost: re-running setup-matt-pocock-skills will not recognise
omp-docs/skills/* and will offer to recreate docs/agents/; the AGENTS.md pointer
is what stops that.
Also closes a verification gap found on the way: kb-lint.bats only ever points
the linter at fixtures, so a page with no frontmatter or an index that stops
listing a file passes the suite silently. Two tests now run the linter and the
coverage checker against the shipped omp-docs/ tree.

The Limits bullet still described the pre-fix behaviour ("thinking and the
final message only"), which dank/dankvoice#3 just retired: narration rides
`turn_end`, so the assistant's prose and thinking are spoken while the agent
works. Records the two rules an operator needs when audio seems missing —
arming is read at startup only, and a turn landing during playback is dropped
rather than queued — plus where the design rationale lives.
kb-lint 0 violations, index-coverage 0 issues.
The same bytes are already in origin/main via PR #37; the workspace policy here
blocks restore/stash/switch, so the identical working-tree copies are committed
rather than discarded, letting the deployment take the merge commit.
Neither setting did what it looked like it did, and the knowledge base had no
page for either, so both were invisible until the operator asked.
tools/neovim.md: the two entry points (vanilla `nvim`, `lazyvim` as an
NVIM_APPNAME profile), the fresh-box install, the base16 wallpaper-palette hook
with its SIGUSR1 contract, and the trap that matters — the official recipe
clones over ~/.config/nvim and destroys the vanilla quick-edit path.
tools/applications.md gets the editor row (Ghostty's row had lost its label)
and Neovim's verified version.
core/dankvoice.md gains the arming rule: arming is session-scoped, a silent
session start is a config state, and the two checks — `/say status` then
`pgrep -a pw-play` — prove the chain without blaming the endpoint.

The extension's full behaviour now lives in dank/dankvoice (41/41
black-box suite against the built artifact; this branch's 26 drop-in
tests are a strict subset, names ported 1:1). Delete the drop-in and
its bats suite; repoint omp-docs/core/dankvoice.md at the package,
keeping only fleet wiring (frank-tts + @tiny resolution, the
enable_thinking hybrid law, voice/roster contract) and the cutover
procedure. kb-lint 0 violations; bats tests/ 45/45.

The humanizer's raw fetch to frank-zealot omitted
chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking: false, so the Qwen35 hybrid thought
instead of answering (6.9 s reasoning_content, empty content - timing out
the 6 s abort; or answering "" and muting the unit). Pin the kwarg, treat
empty-content-with-reasoning as failure over silence, and stop the menu's
test phrase from blocking its handler. Three red-captured regressions;
26/26 green, verified red against HEAD.
PR #30 merged the throwaway checker under its .tmp- name. Promoted to
scripts/kb-coverage.py and documented on okf-maintenance.md § Automated
Gates alongside kb-lint (the bundle previously documented neither gate).
Self-tested: kb-coverage.py reports 0 issues on the current bundle.
