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.
Refs #61
Rewritten per grilling-on-grilling (2026-10-18, all branches settled via
ask rounds): ask tool is the default round vehicle (one artefact per
question, recommended:0 = bare-yes semantics, hybrid boundary ask-default
/ prose-exception); todo as visible decision tree (phase=branch, blocked
reasons) + durable local://grilling-state.md ledger surviving the
Esc-aborts-the-run path; scout=environment facts (spawn-before-ask,
exclusive concurrency), web_search=world facts, inline=cheap lookups;
completion gate = summary + one closing ask, then distilled decisions
land in omp-docs/log.md via branch -> PR.
Absorbs managed skill one-decision-per-ask-question (Frank's choice;
reworded: ideas heavily encouraged via own atomic question, ban is on
smuggling into option text only). Managed skill deleted here; heartbeat
drops it from the live tree.
learned.md: noctalia v5 bar layering + hot-reload loop; secret-gate self-match convention (quoted literals redacted per the convention the line itself states); niri 26.04 event-stream has no hotplug event. New managed skills: git-repo-secret-audit, omp-system-prompt-retrieval.
git 2.56 credential-store parses one URL per line (port included), not the
key=value block shape the man page shows for ~/.git-credentials; a block-format
file yields a silent empty get and git dies at askpass.
