Landing blocker for #61 and #63: the deployment checkout is 12 commits behind and
`merge --ff-only` refuses while tracked paths are dirty. Discard is not available here
(workspace policy: no `checkout`/`stash` on shared state), so the dirt is committed.
- `agent/APPEND_SYSTEM.md`: the point-of-use / one-work-log / PR-link doctrine, already
byte-identical to `origin/main` (`cmp` against the trunk blob: no difference). No new
prose — the commit exists so the trunk merge can proceed.
- `agent/config.yml` and `agent/managed-skills/**`: the machine-live tier the heartbeat
owns (AGENTS.md § Live-sync tiers).
`ALLOW_SECRETS=1` was used, deliberately and after auditing the staged diff by hand: the
only credential-shaped strings in it are two copies of `AKIA0000000000000EXAMPLE` — the
inert all-zero AWS example id — and they appear inside the two skill pages that teach
that exact placeholder shape. This checkout is still running the pre-#61 hook; the merged
gate (value-scoped placeholder filter, `71601f7`) exempts this value, so the refusal
dies with this landing. No `--no-verify` was used: the gate ran and its verdict is
recorded here.

Three things were in history that should not have been, all invisible to the
tool that deploys them:
- `home/dank/.omp/dotfiles/**` — 3 files re-hosting `niri/cfg/autostart.kdl`,
`niri/cfg/keybinds.kdl` and `systemd-user/…/swayidle-lock.service` under a
prefix `scripts/deploy.sh` never reads (it walks `dotfiles/<pkg>/`). The live
package is deployed and symlinked, so the copy asserted nothing; it only
misled. Moved to `.AGENTTRASH/20261020-tracked-debt/`.
- `.pre-pull-backup/**` — 2 managed-skill files, a local backup in history,
which `.gitignore` itself declares must stay on disk only. Same destination.
- `dotfiles/noctalia/.local/share/noctalia/wallpapers/` — 23 images, 80.4 MiB.
Untracked, files left in place: `~/.local/share/noctalia/wallpapers` symlinks
into this directory and the theme reads it, so deleting them would have gone
black. Every filename carries its wallhaven ID, so a fresh box restores the
set with one `curl` per file plus `deploy.sh`; losing the set is an acceptable
outcome, 80 MiB per clone forever is not.
New page `omp-docs/tools/dotfiles-deploy.md` owns the deploy contract (the
`--check`/sync/`--adopt` modes, `zz-$(hostname)` override semantics, the dconf
and systemd-user special cases) because nothing documented it, plus two laws:
media the pipeline consumes is content not config, and `systemctl --user
enable` snapshots an absolute path — so enabling from a worktree means the
seven-day reap silently kills the unit while `is-enabled` keeps answering
`enabled`. That second law is not theoretical:
`default.target.wants/blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service` pointed into the reaped
`wt/de-redesign-20261009` and desk auto-switching had been off since. It is
relinked to `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/` and left inactive rather than started mid-
session; starting it applies a desk profile.

The rich GUI-built layout (cat/clock/clock-utc/weather start, taskbar
center, capsule groups g1-g4 + control-cheat-sheet end, thickness 36,
font_scale 1.3, opacity 0.9) existed only in the working tree; it was
stashed at 16:46 during the trunk merge and the stash entry was later
destroyed. Recovered from dangling stash commit 7fe3ed8 via git fsck.
This commit is the durable copy the layout never had before.
