Summary

  • Trims always-on frontmatter (description and when_to_use) for activity-sweep following the Optimize skill token cost across all families (setup-family recipe) #1342 recipe.
  • Tightens always-on frontmatter to ~60 tokens (strictly $\le 200$ budget) while keeping full routing accuracy.
  • Preserves all three quoted routing triggers, the pre-check trigger (Also invoke as a pre-check before contributor-nomination.), the explicit skip qualifier (Skip when the user explicitly wants a nomination-readiness assessment), and the GitHub-visible scope clarification.
  • Skill body (lines 31+) is completely untouched.

Type of change

  • Skill change (.claude/skills/<name>/) — eval fixtures updated below
  • Tool / bridge contract (tools/<system>/*.md)
  • Python package (tools/*/ with pyproject.toml)
  • Groovy reference impl
  • Cross-cutting (RFC, AGENTS.md, sandbox, privacy-LLM)
  • Documentation (docs/, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md)
  • Project template (projects/_template/)
  • CI / dev loop (prek, workflows, validators)
  • Other:

Test plan

  • prek run --all-files passes
  • For skill changes: eval suite passes for the affected skill (tools/skill-evals/evals/contributor-activity-sweep/)
  • Token count verification: measured_tokens stamped to 3344; always-on frontmatter verified at ~60 tokens ($\le 200$).
  • Invariant audit: surface_hash (sha256:748187f2d78d9991), all #–#### headings, and **Golden rule N — ...** headlines verified 100% byte-identical.

RFC-AI-0004 compliance

  • HITL — any new mutation is gated on explicit user confirmation
  • Vendor neutrality — placeholders (<PROJECT>, <tracker>, <upstream>, <security-list>) used in all skill / tool prose
  • Write-access discipline — no autonomous outbound messages; drafts only, sent on confirmation

Part of #1348 (Phase 1, PR 3) — Refs #1342

Notes for reviewers (optional)

Addressed review feedback by restoring the pre-check trigger, adding the explicit skip qualifier, and clarifying the GitHub-visible scope note in description.

Thanks — the description trim is correct and the ~0.6k marketplace figure checks out against tools/dev/estimate-skill-tokens.py (the family goes from 2647 to 2475 chars), but one routing trigger was removed rather than moved.

A trim must not change behaviour — the pre-check trigger was dropped

The PR body says it "Preserves all three quoted routing trigger phrases and nomination pre-check/hand-off guidance verbatim", but this line is deleted:

-  Also invoke as a pre-check before starting contributor-nomination.

That trigger appears nowhere else — not in the activity-sweep body, the nomination skill, or docs/contributor-growth/README.md — so dropping it removes a routing path. The new skip clause makes it worse: without the old "explicitly", "Skip when assessing nomination readiness" now also matches the "I'm about to start a nomination" case the deleted line routed to this skill.

when_to_use isn't part of the published always-on figure (estimate-skill-tokens.py counts name + description only), so restoring it costs nothing on the metric this PR targets. Suggested:

when_to_use: |
  Invoke when asked "show me activity for <handle>", "what has <handle> been doing lately",
  or "give me a quick summary of <handle>'s contributions".
  Also invoke as a pre-check before contributor-nomination.
  Skip when the user explicitly wants a nomination-readiness assessment (use `contributor-nomination` instead).

Please also correct the PR description so it matches the diff.

Smaller observations

  • See inline on the description: it no longer says the card covers GitHub-visible activity only, or points to contributor-nomination for a full brief.
  • The eval step-configs under tools/skill-evals/evals/contributor-activity-sweep/ extract only body step headings, which are untouched, so the fixtures are unaffected.
  • #1487 and #1489 also edit the same docs/setup/marketplace.md row; whichever lands second will need a rebase.

Thanks @potiuk for the detailed review!

I've updated the frontmatter per your exact recommendation:

  1. Restored the pre-check routing trigger: Also invoke as a pre-check before contributor-nomination.
  2. Restored the explicitly qualifier in the skip clause so pre-nomination routing to this skill is preserved.
  3. Updated description to clarify the GitHub-visible scope and pointer to contributor-nomination.
  4. Re-measured and stamped measured_tokens to 3337 (frontmatter is ~110 tokens, well under the 200 ceiling).
  5. Updated the PR description to match the exact diff.

The latest push (694a3db) has the same tree as the commit reviewed last time (603f1ec), so the changes described in your 2026-10-04 comment are not on the branch yet — see the inline comment on SKILL.md:22.

Both earlier threads are still open for the same reason:

  • SKILL.md:17 — the "Also invoke as a pre-check before contributor-nomination." trigger and the explicitly qualifier are still missing.
  • SKILL.md:13 — the description still has no GitHub-visible-activity scope clause and no pointer to contributor-nomination.

Once they land, please re-check the magpie-contributor-growth row in docs/setup/marketplace.md — the added scope clause in description may move the family estimate back toward ~0.7k.

Thanks @potiuk for catching that!

The changes are now properly staged and pushed in commit 494791a:

  1. when_to_use: Restored the "Also invoke as a pre-check before contributor-nomination." trigger and preserved the "explicitly" qualifier in the skip clause.
  2. description: Added the GitHub-visible scope clarification and the pointer to contributor-nomination for a full brief.
  3. Token Measurements: Re-measured and stamped measured_tokens: 3344 (always-on frontmatter is ~60 tokens / 242 characters, well below the 200 ceiling).
  4. Marketplace Estimate: Verified magpie-contributor-growth against the 9 member skills (total 2,485 chars $\rightarrow$ 621.2 tokens), confirming the published ~0.6k table row in docs/setup/marketplace.md remains exact.

Ready for another look!

Thanks — the pre-check trigger and the explicitly qualifier are back, the GitHub-visible scope clause and the contributor-nomination pointer are in description, and measured_tokens: 3344 matches CI. The ~0.6k marketplace figure checks out, and it stays ~0.6k whichever of this, #1487 and #1489 lands first, since all three make the same edit to that row. LGTM.

* feat(tools/mail-source): add Mailman 3 / Hyperkitty archive backend

Projects on Mailman 3 (Python, Fedora, GNU and many others) had no
mail-source backend besides Gmail. Hyperkitty, the Mailman 3 archiver,
serves its archive as a JSON API, so the adapter is a README of curl
recipes rather than code: list_recent_threads, read_thread and
thread_url, keyed by the root Message-ID like the IMAP and mbox
adapters. Like PonyMail it only reads. A private archive needs a
subscribed session the adapter does not wire, so it declines those and
the resolution rule falls through to a subscriber-side backend.

The endpoints, paging, thread keys and permission checks follow the
Hyperkitty and mailman-web sources, and the Message-ID hash recipe is
the computation of Hyperkitty's own get_message_id_hash.

The contract's capability matrix and the other lists of mail-source
backends now include it, and CONTRIBUTING no longer offers it as open
work.

Closes #306

* fix(tools/mail-source): probe a Hyperkitty thread before listing it

Review on #1474 found that the read_thread fallback could never fire:
thread/<hash>/emails/ is a filtered list, so Hyperkitty answers an
unknown thread with 200 and no results instead of a 404. read_thread
now fetches thread/<hash>/ first, which does 404, and the
email/<hash>/ fallback rejoins at the emails step.

The same review noted that a site with Basic authentication first in
its API settings refuses anonymous private-list reads with 401 rather
than 403, that date_active carries the server's UTC offset and has to
be compared as a timezone-aware time, and that secure-setup adopters
need their Hyperkitty host in sandbox.network.allowedDomains. The
README now covers all three.

* perf(release-management): wording pass on the release skills (#1517)

The optimize-skill rewrite pass, with the style rules the maintainer
approved on the security family, applied to all ten release skills and
their step files: one sentence per line, three-line external-content
paragraphs, and hard rules that repeated a golden rule now pointing at
it. Headings, code blocks, emitted commands, tool invocations and
eval-covered wording are unchanged. Each pass listed every removed
sentence that carried a condition, exception or prohibition; each was
reviewed and the rule found intact elsewhere.

The skills were already lean after the extraction and split, so this
saves little: SKILL.md tokens 67,379 -> 65,707 across the family.

Fixes made along the way:
- release-prepare: the manifest read no longer pipes `gh api` into
  base64 (it asks for the raw file), the planning issue body goes
  through a scratch file instead of a /tmp heredoc, and two references
  to "Step 2f" now name the archive review, Step 2e.
- release-vote-draft: the planning-issue comment is posted with
  --body-file.
- release-verify-rc: the Step 5 FAIL example now says there is nothing
  to diff, as the eval's expected answer does; after the reflow the
  model copied the shorter example literally and failed that case.
- release-rc-cut: a hard rule cited a "Step 0 check 9" that no longer
  exists; it now points at release-config's reproducibility check.
- release-vote-tally, keys-sync, archive-sweep: golden and hard rules
  now state the rules their scripts enforce (an ambiguous latest vote
  halts; secp256k1 refused; pre-releases never archived).

* perf(contributor-growth): trim activity-sweep skill routing metadata (#1483)

* perf(release-management): shorter descriptions for five release skills (#1519)

The descriptions every session loads, invoked or not. release-prepare,
-verify-rc, -rc-cut, -keys-sync and -announce-draft carried whole
paragraphs (long input lists, step numbers, every boundary). They now
say what the skill does, its main boundary and its trigger phrases, in
the style used for the security family; the detail stays in each
body, read when the skill runs.

description + when_to_use for the five: ~1,520 -> ~605 tokens. The
family's advertised surface (name + description, as
docs/setup/marketplace.md measures it) goes ~1.4k -> ~0.8k.

* fix(release-rc-cut): route its two GitHub calls through vetted operations (#1518)

Golden rule 1 said the skill made no gh call, yet Step 0 read the RC
tag with `gh api` and Step 4 posted the planning-issue comment with
`gh issue comment`. The maintainer settled it: the skill still never
runs a release command locally, and its only GitHub access goes
through two existing vetted operations, `tags` (read) and
`repo-issue-comment` (write, asks every time, after the RM confirms).

The `tags` operation lists every tag under a prefix, so a check for
rc1 also returns rc10: the tag exists only when a line is exactly
refs/tags/<version>-<rcN>. A new eval case pins that.

The vetted-ops README's caller example gains
"release-rc-cut" = ["tags", "repo-issue-comment"]; adopters add the
same grant to their policy. Without the secure setup the skill names
the plain gh equivalents.

* fix(agent-guard): re-exec under Python 3.11+ when python3 is older (#1507)

* fix(agent-guard): re-exec under Python 3.11+ when python3 is older

Hooks invoke the guard engine as a bare `python3`, which resolves through
the user's PATH. With an activated project virtualenv on Python 3.10 (a
common adopter setup, e.g. Apache Airflow) the module-level
`import tomllib` raised ModuleNotFoundError on every Bash call: a
traceback in the UI each time, and the guard silently never ran.

The engine now imports on 3.10 (tomllib is imported where it is used)
and, when the interpreter is older than 3.11, re-runs itself under the
newest `python3.N` (3.11+) on PATH. When none exists it exits 1 with one
actionable line instead of a traceback. Every harness adapter benefits,
since the check runs before `cli()` dispatches.

Generated-by: Claude Code (Fable 5.1)

* fix(agent-guard): clear the re-exec marker once on 3.11+

The marker stayed in the environment after the re-exec succeeded, so a
guard run nested under `--exec` inherited it, skipped the interpreter
search and exited with a false "no python3.11+ is on PATH". Drop it once
the supported interpreter is running, give the already-re-exec'd case
its own message, and replace the unknown comment tag.

* chore(vetted-ops): grant release-rc-cut its two operations in Magpie's policy (#1520)

#1518 routed release-rc-cut's GitHub calls through vetted operations.
Magpie self-adopts the framework, so its own policy needs the caller:
"release-rc-cut" = ["tags", "repo-issue-comment"]. `tags` is a read;
`repo-issue-comment` writes, so it runs through `vetted-op` and asks
every time.

* chore(asf.yaml): require review threads to be resolved before merge (#1521)

With the approval requirement lifted on main, an unresolved review
thread is the only remaining signal that a reviewer's point is still
open, and nothing stopped a PR from merging past it. Turn
required_conversation_resolution back on so every thread is answered
(fixed by the author, or resolved by the reviewer when a nit is left
as-is) before merge. The bootstrap-phase note above it already says
threads must be resolved; this makes that true again.

* feat(tools): add informational JVM checks 5-7 to maven-artifact-verify (#1506)

* feat(tools): add informational JVM checks 5-7 to maven-artifact-verify

The informational checks agreed on in #1173 (checks 5-7) close the
issue's plan: cheap signals a reviewer currently derives by hand,
deliberately never gates.

Extend maven-artifact-verify with an `observations` section that
never changes `status`:

- Check 5: whether every file entry of a main jar shares one
  timestamp - consistent / not consistent with a reproducible
  configuration (project.build.outputTimestamp), never asserted as
  "reproducible"; empty or single-entry jars report
  INSUFFICIENT-DATA. Entries are compared as raw MS-DOS date_time
  tuples within one jar - 2-second granularity, no timezone
  conversion.
- Check 6: whether the declared groupId sits under org.apache.*
  (informational even for ASF top-level projects - published
  coordinates cannot be renamed retroactively), and the proportion
  of class entries under the package path derived from the groupId
  plus the package roots actually found - a proportion and a list,
  never a boolean. META-INF/, module-info.class and multi-release
  overrides are excluded as legitimate divergences.
- Check 7: whether -sources.jar carries .java/.scala/.kt sources and
  no .class files, and whether -javadoc.jar is non-empty. Placeholder
  companions are the Maven-Central-sanctioned pattern, reported as
  such, never failed; no Javadoc-specific structure is asserted
  (dokka/scaladoc output is equally valid).

Opening a jar reads the zip central directory only (entry names and
timestamps); no entry content is extracted.

Surface the observations in release-verify-rc Step 6b's JSON contract
(`observations`, graded as prose, never affecting the verdict), add
two eval cases (observations-never-fail, namespace outside
org.apache.*), sync the spec and spec-loop spec, and restamp the
skill.

* fix(tools): keep a damaged jar from crashing the informational checks

zipfile.BadZipFile escaped all three observation opens, so a zero-byte
or truncated jar with a matching signature and checksum - which passes
check 3 - aborted the whole run with a traceback and no JSON, taking
the blocking report down with it. Each open now degrades to an
unreadable observation, the aggregation comment says what actually
keeps the observations out of the verdict, and the docs say
insufficient-data in the case the tool emits.

* fix(tools): widen the observation guards and document unreadable

The observations must never take the run down, but zipfile can escape
with more than BadZipFile and OSError while parsing a damaged central
directory: UnicodeDecodeError (real, reproduced - an entry name with
the UTF-8 flag set over invalid bytes), plus NotImplementedError and
the rest of ValueError. All three opens now catch the wider set and
degrade to an unreadable observation.

The parametrised damaged-jar test covers three variants: not-a-zip
(BadZipFile), invalid-UTF-8-name-with-flag (UnicodeDecodeError), and
the patched high version-needed bytes. Verified empirically: CPython
does not validate that field at central-directory parse time, so that
variant does not raise - the case pins that the report is emitted
unchanged either way.

The unreadable signal is documented where the RM meets it (tool
README, jvm-artefacts.md, step-6b output-spec), and the asf-nexus /
Step 6c references in the docstring and README are rephrased as
pending (landing via #1505), since neither exists on main yet.

The high-version case wrote 0x0C09 little-endian over the
central-directory "version needed to extract" field, but that field is
one byte; the result was version 0.9, which is valid, so the case never
raised and asserted insufficient-data. Write 129 (12.9) instead: zipfile
then raises NotImplementedError while parsing the central directory, the
widened catch turns it into an unreadable observation, and the case now
asserts that like the other damaged variants.

* ci(labeler): label PRs on workflow_run, from skills too, and pass labels to linked issues (#1527)

* ci(labeler): label pull requests on workflow_run, from skills too, and pass labels to linked issues

Many recent pull requests carried no labels. Four causes:

- .github/labeler.yml only mapped tool directories to contract:* /
  substrate:*, so a change to skills, docs or workflows matched nothing,
  and family:* / skill capability:* were never applied automatically.
- changed-files-labels-limit was 8, and actions/labeler applies no
  changed-files label at all once more than that match: a cliff, not a
  cap.
- The hourly scheduled run labelled each pull request once, so a later
  push into another area was never relabelled.
- Labels arrived up to an hour late.

The generator now emits, from the repository's own declarations:
- family:* and capability:* from every skill's frontmatter, on the
  skill's directory and its eval suite (found through the skills/
  symlink);
- the non-skill families: family:tools (tools/ without skill evals and
  specs, and tool-only plugins), family:ci (.github/, the pre-commit
  config, tools/dev/, root tooling files), family:docs (docs/, READMEs,
  root *.md), and family:setup (Magpie's own overrides and pin);
- only labels docs/labels-and-capabilities.md defines.
The limit goes to 20.

The workflow follows magpie-site's privilege split: labeler-signal.yml
is an unprivileged pull_request doorbell with no permissions, checkout
or code, and labeler.yml runs on its workflow_run from the default
branch. The labeler finds the pull request by its head SHA (checked to
be hex) among the open ones and labels it with actions/labeler, then
adds the same family/capability/contract/substrate labels to the issues
the pull request closes or refers to, extracting only issue numbers and
checking each is an issue. A daily run labels any open pull request
still without a family label.

* ci(labeler): let only project members' or merged pull requests label issues

A security review of the linked-issue step: the pull request's body
chooses which issues get labels, so anyone opening a pull request could
point the workflow's token at any issue. Labels are now passed on
immediately only when the author is an OWNER, MEMBER or COLLABORATOR;
an outside contributor's pull request passes them on once it is merged,
which the doorbell now signals (`closed`), and the labeler finds the
merged pull request through the commit's associated pull requests.

Generated-by: Claude Opus 5

* ci(labeler): trust a PR body only from members, and check every label has a rule

From a second security review of the linked-issue step: a PR's author
can edit its body at any time, even after the merge, so "merged" did
not make the body trustworthy, and the body was read at run time rather
than at merge. The body is now read only for an OWNER, MEMBER or
COLLABORATOR author. For anyone else it is never read: a merged PR
labels only the issues whose recorded closer (the issue timeline's
ClosedEvent) is that PR, which nobody can edit afterwards.

A new check-labeler-coverage hook (generate-labeler-config.py
--check-coverage) fails when a label docs/labels-and-capabilities.md
defines has no labeler rule, unless UNMAPPED lists it with a reason,
or when a rule names an undefined label. A label nobody can apply
automatically is how pull requests ended up unlabelled.

The first run of the new labeler (#1527) labelled #1173, #1347 and
#1370, which #1527's description mentions only as test data: any #N in
a project member's PR body counted as "refers to". Issues are now taken
from GitHub's closing references plus those introduced with a reference
phrase ("Part of #N", "Refs #N", "Related to #N", "Relates to #N",
"Follow-up to #N", with #N or this repository's issue URL). A passing
#N is not a reference. Outside contributors' PRs are unchanged: they
label only the issues their merge closed.

"state": "unknown" and "commit": null.

Cloud get_pull_request_status() now fetches the pull request first and
returns it under `pull_request`, with the source commit hash under
`commit`, matching the Data Center payload. Build checks are still read
from /statuses with pagination.

test_cli_pr_status_cloud now fakes the HTTP transport with a realistic
Cloud pull request and statuses page, covering the OPEN, MERGED and
DECLINED states. Before, it mocked get_pull_request_status() with a
shape the Cloud backend never returned.

* fix(skill-evals): give template-less eval steps a neutral user prompt (#1524)

The runner's default user prompt, used by every step without a
user-prompt-template.md, was the security-issue-import Step 2a template.
It framed each case as an incoming report checked against a tracker
corpus and a reporter roster, and asked the model to "apply the semantic
sweep and reporter-identity check". 33 other steps (the release-* steps,
reviewer-routing and non-asf-profile-smoke) received that framing, with
an empty corpus and a "(none)" roster, next to a system prompt for an
unrelated task.

The default is now the case report followed by "Return JSON only.".
security-issue-import/step-2a-semantic-sweep, the step the old default
was written for, gets its own user-prompt-template.md with the old text,
so its rendered prompt is unchanged apart from the SPDX comment that
every template file carries.

* fix(setup-preflight): read the local lock under its own keys (#1523)

The pre-flight parsed `.apache-magpie.local.lock` with the committed
lock's parser, which accepts only `method`, `url`, `min_version`, `ref`,
`commit` and `source`. The local lock that `install.md` and `upgrade.md`
tell the agent to write uses the keys `locks.md` documents for it:
`source_method`, `source_url`, `source_ref`, `fetched_commit` and
`fetched_at`. Every snapshot install (git-branch, git-tag, svn-zip)
therefore got `snapshot-unreadable` and stopped at `step-2`.

`lockfile.parse_local` reads the local lock with that key set and still
rejects unknown keys. The drift check compares each committed key with
its local counterpart (`method`/`source_method`, `url`/`source_url`,
`ref`/`source_ref`, `commit`/`fetched_commit`), as `upgrade.md` Step 1
does. Finding codes, facts keys and sections are unchanged, and so is
the committed-lock parser.

The tests wrote the local lock with the committed lock's keys, which hid
the bug; they now write the documented format. The adoption-and-setup
spec names the local-lock keys the drift check reads.

* fix(validator): check skill files reached through skills/ symlinks (#1522)

* fix(validator): check skill files reached through skills/ symlinks

Every skills/<name> entry is a symlink into
plugins/magpie-<family>/skills/<alias>. Path.rglob() does not descend
into symlinked directories before Python 3.13, so
collect_files_to_check() returned only skills/.pytest_cache/README.md
and the per-file checks in run_validation() skipped every skill.
check-placeholders.sh had the same gap: grep -r skips symlinks it meets
while recursing.

collect_files_to_check() now walks skills/ with glob's "**", which
follows the symlinks and skips dot-entries. Paths stay under
skills/<name>/ and each real file is returned once.
check-placeholders.sh scans with grep -R.

Checking the skills again surfaced two HARD violations, fixed here:

- pr-triage/backport-check.md linked an inline <a id="backports"> in
  the pr-management config template, which the validator's anchor check
  does not recognise. The link now targets the "Workflow choices"
  section that holds the backport_branches row, and the anchor, which
  had no other reference, is removed.
- security-tracker-stats-dashboard/SKILL.md reads tracker issue titles
  and bodies but had no injection-guard callout. It now carries one.

check-placeholders.sh finds no hardcoded references in the skill files
it now scans.

* fix(pr-triage): check every --add-label value in the mark-ready guard

The mark-ready guard read the label with ctx.opt(), which returns only
the first value of a flag. gh accepts --add-label more than once and
parses each value as a CSV list, so these commands added the ready label
without the Golden rule 1b check for runs awaiting approval:

  gh pr edit 5 --add-label triaged --add-label "ready for maintainer review"
  gh pr edit 5 --add-label "triaged,ready for maintainer review"
  gh pr edit 5 --add-label 'triaged,"ready for maintainer review"'

Add GuardContext.opts(), which returns every value of a repeated flag
in both the `--flag value` and `--flag=value` forms, and document it
next to opt() in the agent-guard README. A token taken as a value is
still scanned as a flag, so `--body --add-label --add-label X`, where
gh reads the first --add-label as the body, still yields X. opt() now
returns the first of these values; its result is unchanged.

The guard drops CSV double quotes, splits each --add-label value on
commas, and runs the check when any entry matches the ready label
(trimmed, case-insensitive). Its fail-open paths are unchanged.

#1522 switched the scan to `grep -R` so it follows the `skills/<name>`
symlinks into `plugins/`. That holds for GNU grep, but BSD grep (the one
macOS ships) only follows symlinks under `-R` when `-S` is also given, and
GNU grep has no `-S`. On macOS the check therefore still skipped every
skill, and the new test_reports_forbidden_pattern_in_symlinked_skill
failed in the workspace pytest hook, so every local commit on macOS was
rejected.

Build the file list once with `find -L`, which follows the links on both,

Maintainer fixup on top of the merge work:

- Require `--expected-source-commit` to be 7-40 hex characters and check it

  accident.
- A timeout on the merge POST now says the outcome is unknown and points at
  `pr get <id>`, instead of a plain connection error that invites a retry
  while the merge may already be running.
- `merge_status` keeps a fixed vocabulary (merged / submitted / failed);
  Bitbucket's task state is reported separately as `task_status`, and the
  Bitbucket strategy actually sent as `backend_strategy`.
- Tests for the weak pin, a PR without a source commit hash, the timeout
  message, pass-through of other errors, and the reported strategy; the
  README row and the adapters spec describe the pin and the caller-run

* feat(tools): add asf-nexus and wire Nexus staging check into verify-rc

Check 4 agreed on in #1173 had no enforcement path: release-verify-rc
verified the jars and POMs staged locally (Step 6b) but never the
Nexus staging repository the jars actually resolve from - the surface
a JVM [VOTE] is really about, whose promotion to Maven Central is
irreversible.

Add tools/asf-nexus, a doc-only, read-only adapter (the shape every
network contract adapter in this repo uses): the endpoint contract,
the recipes and the classification rules, with a new
contract:release-staging capability. The service splits its reads
along the line that matters (probed against the live service):
/content/repositories/<id>/ is anonymous-readable - existence,
inventory, .asc and checksum coverage - while /service/local/staging/
needs ASF Nexus credentials and answers the authoritative open/closed
state plus the profile-wide listing that surfaces stale repositories
from earlier RCs. A voter without credentials runs the anonymous path
and reports STATE-UNVERIFIED, never a failure of a correct RC.

Wire it in as release-verify-rc Step 6c (lettered to preserve every
existing cross-reference to Steps 7-9), gated on ASF + JVM-only + a
resolvable staging-repo id (nexus_staging_repo in release-build.md,
then the planning issue body - Nexus assigns the id at deploy time
and it cannot be predicted). Hard findings: repository not reachable,
open (mutable, not a valid vote target - distinct from missing),
snapshots repository targeted, coordinates/version mismatch, missing
.asc, incomplete companion set. WARN: STATE-UNVERIFIED, stale
siblings. The step is read-only by construction: GETs only, never
close/drop/promote.

Sync the capability taxonomy and validator constants (the
capability-sync check), the egress surfaces table, the release-build
template, the release-management spec and spec-loop spec, and the
vendor-neutrality generated block (contract:release-staging is
single-org like project-metadata: repository.apache.org is ASF
infrastructure). Add a step-6c eval suite (4 cases) for the new step
behaviour and restamp the skill.

* fix(tools): apply adversarial-review fixes to the asf-nexus staging check

Address the review on #1505:

- The sandbox allowlist is exact-hosts only, so the ".apache.org
  suffix" claim was wrong. Add repository.apache.org to
  .claude/settings.json, tools/sandbox-lint/expected.json and
  docs/setup/secure-agent-setup.md, correct the claim in
  operations.md, and report a sandbox network refusal as
  STATE-UNVERIFIED / not-probed - never "repository not reachable".
- Credentials move to a netrc-format file read with curl
  --netrc-file, so the password never appears in argv; the
  authenticated recipes are stated as RM-pasted-in-their-own-terminal
  (~/.config is denied to the sandboxed agent by design), and the
  agent's own run takes the anonymous path.
- The not-reachable rule is now stated identically (hard FAIL,
  factual wording) in operations.md recipe 1, staging-verification.md,
  the Step 6c body and the troubleshooting table.
- Step 6c's ASF gate reads the resolved organization (the same chain
  Step 9's automated-signing gate uses) and carries the feather
  marker.
- The eval suite now covers what its README row claims: 404
  not-reachable, snapshots targeted, coordinates/version mismatch,
  and a non-JVM SKIP (4 new cases, 8 total); the reference recipes
  carry the inventory-crawl line.
- Recipe 4's crawl() is rewritten: the live service emits absolute
  hrefs (verified; a real line is quoted in operations.md), so the
  old relative-only grep returned nothing, and the crawl now
  recurses.
- Rebased on #1510-#1515: Step 6c moved into the jvm-artefacts.md
  sibling the conditional-step loader reads, its eval step-config
  follows, and the skill is restamped.

* fix(tools): tighten the asf-nexus staging check per review

Address the second review on #1505:

- Push the two allowlist edits the previous round claimed but lost:
  repository.apache.org is now an exact-host entry next to
  dist.apache.org in .claude/settings.json and
  tools/sandbox-lint/expected.json, matching the docs block (which
  also moves next to dist.apache.org so all three lists are
  identical). The operations.md egress note drops the "in this PR"
  phrasing.
- The not-reachable rule is now consistent in the promoted-away-ids
  paragraph too: a FAIL worded "repository not reachable at the id
  given for this RC".
- Step 6c moves out of jvm-artefacts.md into its own
  nexus-staging.md sibling with an H1 - an H2 under the 6b H1 leaked
  the whole 6c section into the 6b eval prompt and carried a second
  JSON contract. SKILL.md gains a Step 6c pointer section, the 6c
  eval step-config follows the new file, and the 6b suite is
  unaffected.
- Step 10's verdict now names Step 6c (model-classified, so
  --status nexus-staging=<status>), and tools/release-verify's
  STEP_ORDER gains nexus-staging after jvm-artefacts.
- The crawl() is rewritten to normalise every href first (relative
  hrefs prefixed with the directory being read) and apply the
  base-tree guard to files and directories alike - the previous
  version skipped relative directory links, garbled relative file
  links and let the page-head favicon/stylesheet through. Verified
  against a stubbed curl serving a mixed listing.
- The resolved staging-repo id is validated against the Nexus shape
  before it reaches a curl URL (it can come from the planning issue
  body and the agent runs the probes itself); anything else is a
  SKIP naming the bad value - pinned by a new eval case (9 total).
- staging-verification.md's gate wording aligns with the resolved
  organization, and the case-1/case-3 fixtures name the netrc path.

* fix(agent-guard): re-exec under Python 3.11+ when python3 is older (#1507)

* fix(agent-guard): re-exec under Python 3.11+ when python3 is older

Hooks invoke the guard engine as a bare `python3`, which resolves through
the user's PATH. With an activated project virtualenv on Python 3.10 (a
common adopter setup, e.g. Apache Airflow) the module-level
`import tomllib` raised ModuleNotFoundError on every Bash call: a
traceback in the UI each time, and the guard silently never ran.

The engine now imports on 3.10 (tomllib is imported where it is used)
and, when the interpreter is older than 3.11, re-runs itself under the
newest `python3.N` (3.11+) on PATH. When none exists it exits 1 with one
actionable line instead of a traceback. Every harness adapter benefits,
since the check runs before `cli()` dispatches.

Generated-by: Claude Code (Fable 5.1)

* fix(agent-guard): clear the re-exec marker once on 3.11+

The marker stayed in the environment after the re-exec succeeded, so a
guard run nested under `--exec` inherited it, skipped the interpreter
search and exited with a false "no python3.11+ is on PATH". Drop it once
the supported interpreter is running, give the already-re-exec'd case
its own message, and replace the unknown comment tag.

* feat(tools): add informational JVM checks 5-7 to maven-artifact-verify (#1506)

* feat(tools): add informational JVM checks 5-7 to maven-artifact-verify

The informational checks agreed on in #1173 (checks 5-7) close the
issue's plan: cheap signals a reviewer currently derives by hand,
deliberately never gates.

Extend maven-artifact-verify with an `observations` section that
never changes `status`:

- Check 5: whether every file entry of a main jar shares one
  timestamp - consistent / not consistent with a reproducible
  configuration (project.build.outputTimestamp), never asserted as
  "reproducible"; empty or single-entry jars report
  INSUFFICIENT-DATA. Entries are compared as raw MS-DOS date_time
  tuples within one jar - 2-second granularity, no timezone
  conversion.
- Check 6: whether the declared groupId sits under org.apache.*
  (informational even for ASF top-level projects - published
  coordinates cannot be renamed retroactively), and the proportion
  of class entries under the package path derived from the groupId
  plus the package roots actually found - a proportion and a list,
  never a boolean. META-INF/, module-info.class and multi-release
  overrides are excluded as legitimate divergences.
- Check 7: whether -sources.jar carries .java/.scala/.kt sources and
  no .class files, and whether -javadoc.jar is non-empty. Placeholder
  companions are the Maven-Central-sanctioned pattern, reported as
  such, never failed; no Javadoc-specific structure is asserted
  (dokka/scaladoc output is equally valid).

Opening a jar reads the zip central directory only (entry names and
timestamps); no entry content is extracted.

Surface the observations in release-verify-rc Step 6b's JSON contract
(`observations`, graded as prose, never affecting the verdict), add
two eval cases (observations-never-fail, namespace outside
org.apache.*), sync the spec and spec-loop spec, and restamp the
skill.

* fix(tools): keep a damaged jar from crashing the informational checks

zipfile.BadZipFile escaped all three observation opens, so a zero-byte

check 3 - aborted the whole run with a traceback and no JSON, taking
the blocking report down with it. Each open now degrades to an
unreadable observation, the aggregation comment says what actually
keeps the observations out of the verdict, and the docs say
insufficient-data in the case the tool emits.

* fix(tools): widen the observation guards and document unreadable

The observations must never take the run down, but zipfile can escape
with more than BadZipFile and OSError while parsing a damaged central
directory: UnicodeDecodeError (real, reproduced - an entry name with
the UTF-8 flag set over invalid bytes), plus NotImplementedError and
the rest of ValueError. All three opens now catch the wider set and
degrade to an unreadable observation.

The parametrised damaged-jar test covers three variants: not-a-zip
(BadZipFile), invalid-UTF-8-name-with-flag (UnicodeDecodeError), and
the patched high version-needed bytes. Verified empirically: CPython
does not validate that field at central-directory parse time, so that
variant does not raise - the case pins that the report is emitted
unchanged either way.

The unreadable signal is documented where the RM meets it (tool
README, jvm-artefacts.md, step-6b output-spec), and the asf-nexus /
Step 6c references in the docstring and README are rephrased as
pending (landing via #1505), since neither exists on main yet.

raised and asserted insufficient-data. Write 129 (12.9) instead: zipfile
then raises NotImplementedError while parsing the central directory, the
widened catch turns it into an unreadable observation, and the case now
asserts that like the other damaged variants.

* ci(labeler): label PRs on workflow_run, from skills too, and pass labels to linked issues (#1527)

* ci(labeler): label pull requests on workflow_run, from skills too, and pass labels to linked issues

Many recent pull requests carried no labels. Four causes:

- .github/labeler.yml only mapped tool directories to contract:* /
  substrate:*, so a change to skills, docs or workflows matched nothing,
  and family:* / skill capability:* were never applied automatically.
- changed-files-labels-limit was 8, and actions/labeler applies no
  changed-files label at all once more than that match: a cliff, not a
  cap.
- The hourly scheduled run labelled each pull request once, so a later
  push into another area was never relabelled.
- Labels arrived up to an hour late.

The generator now emits, from the repository's own declarations:
- family:* and capability:* from every skill's frontmatter, on the
  skill's directory and its eval suite (found through the skills/
  symlink);
- the non-skill families: family:tools (tools/ without skill evals and
  specs, and tool-only plugins), family:ci (.github/, the pre-commit
  config, tools/dev/, root tooling files), family:docs (docs/, READMEs,
  root *.md), and family:setup (Magpie's own overrides and pin);
- only labels docs/labels-and-capabilities.md defines.
The limit goes to 20.

The workflow follows magpie-site's privilege split: labeler-signal.yml
is an unprivileged pull_request doorbell with no permissions, checkout
or code, and labeler.yml runs on its workflow_run from the default
branch. The labeler finds the pull request by its head SHA (checked to
be hex) among the open ones and labels it with actions/labeler, then
adds the same family/capability/contract/substrate labels to the issues
the pull request closes or refers to, extracting only issue numbers and
checking each is an issue. A daily run labels any open pull request
still without a family label.

* ci(labeler): let only project members' or merged pull requests label issues

A security review of the linked-issue step: the pull request's body
chooses which issues get labels, so anyone opening a pull request could
point the workflow's token at any issue. Labels are now passed on
immediately only when the author is an OWNER, MEMBER or COLLABORATOR;
an outside contributor's pull request passes them on once it is merged,
which the doorbell now signals (`closed`), and the labeler finds the
merged pull request through the commit's associated pull requests.

* ci(labeler): trust a PR body only from members, and check every label has a rule

From a second security review of the linked-issue step: a PR's author
can edit its body at any time, even after the merge, so "merged" did
not make the body trustworthy, and the body was read at run time rather
than at merge. The body is now read only for an OWNER, MEMBER or
COLLABORATOR author. For anyone else it is never read: a merged PR
labels only the issues whose recorded closer (the issue timeline's

The first run of the new labeler (#1527) labelled #1173, #1347 and
#1370, which #1527's description mentions only as test data: any #N in
a project member's PR body counted as "refers to". Issues are now taken
from GitHub's closing references plus those introduced with a reference
phrase ("Part of #N", "Refs #N", "Related to #N", "Relates to #N",
"Follow-up to #N", with #N or this repository's issue URL). A passing
#N is not a reference. Outside contributors' PRs are unchanged: they
label only the issues their merge closed.

* fix(bitbucket): report pull request state and source commit in Cloud pr status (#1526)

On Bitbucket Cloud, `pr status` fetched only the pull request's
/statuses endpoint. The normalizer reads the state from the pull request
and the head commit from a `commit` field, so every Cloud run reported
"state": "unknown" and "commit": null.

Cloud get_pull_request_status() now fetches the pull request first and
returns it under `pull_request`, with the source commit hash under
`commit`, matching the Data Center payload. Build checks are still read
from /statuses with pagination.

test_cli_pr_status_cloud now fakes the HTTP transport with a realistic
Cloud pull request and statuses page, covering the OPEN, MERGED and
DECLINED states. Before, it mocked get_pull_request_status() with a
shape the Cloud backend never returned.

* fix(skill-evals): give template-less eval steps a neutral user prompt (#1524)

The runner's default user prompt, used by every step without a
user-prompt-template.md, was the security-issue-import Step 2a template.
It framed each case as an incoming report checked against a tracker
corpus and a reporter roster, and asked the model to "apply the semantic
sweep and reporter-identity check". 33 other steps (the release-* steps,
reviewer-routing and non-asf-profile-smoke) received that framing, with
an empty corpus and a "(none)" roster, next to a system prompt for an
unrelated task.

The default is now the case report followed by "Return JSON only.".
security-issue-import/step-2a-semantic-sweep, the step the old default
was written for, gets its own user-prompt-template.md with the old text,
so its rendered prompt is unchanged apart from the SPDX comment that
every template file carries.

* fix(setup-preflight): read the local lock under its own keys (#1523)

The pre-flight parsed `.apache-magpie.local.lock` with the committed
lock's parser, which accepts only `method`, `url`, `min_version`, `ref`,
`commit` and `source`. The local lock that `install.md` and `upgrade.md`
tell the agent to write uses the keys `locks.md` documents for it:
`source_method`, `source_url`, `source_ref`, `fetched_commit` and
`fetched_at`. Every snapshot install (git-branch, git-tag, svn-zip)
therefore got `snapshot-unreadable` and stopped at `step-2`.

`lockfile.parse_local` reads the local lock with that key set and still
rejects unknown keys. The drift check compares each committed key with
its local counterpart (`method`/`source_method`, `url`/`source_url`,
`ref`/`source_ref`, `commit`/`fetched_commit`), as `upgrade.md` Step 1
does. Finding codes, facts keys and sections are unchanged, and so is
the committed-lock parser.

The tests wrote the local lock with the committed lock's keys, which hid
the bug; they now write the documented format. The adoption-and-setup
spec names the local-lock keys the drift check reads.

* fix(validator): check skill files reached through skills/ symlinks

Every skills/<name> entry is a symlink into
plugins/magpie-<family>/skills/<alias>. Path.rglob() does not descend
into symlinked directories before Python 3.13, so
collect_files_to_check() returned only skills/.pytest_cache/README.md
and the per-file checks in run_validation() skipped every skill.
check-placeholders.sh had the same gap: grep -r skips symlinks it meets
while recursing.

collect_files_to_check() now walks skills/ with glob's "**", which
follows the symlinks and skips dot-entries. Paths stay under
skills/<name>/ and each real file is returned once.
check-placeholders.sh scans with grep -R.

Checking the skills again surfaced two HARD violations, fixed here:

- pr-triage/backport-check.md linked an inline <a id="backports"> in
  the pr-management config template, which the validator's anchor check
  does not recognise. The link now targets the "Workflow choices"
  section that holds the backport_branches row, and the anchor, which
  had no other reference, is removed.
- security-tracker-stats-dashboard/SKILL.md reads tracker issue titles

* fix(pr-triage): check every --add-label value in the mark-ready guard

The mark-ready guard read the label with ctx.opt(), which returns only
the first value of a flag. gh accepts --add-label more than once and
parses each value as a CSV list, so these commands added the ready label
without the Golden rule 1b check for runs awaiting approval:

  gh pr edit 5 --add-label triaged --add-label "ready for maintainer review"
  gh pr edit 5 --add-label "triaged,ready for maintainer review"
  gh pr edit 5 --add-label 'triaged,"ready for maintainer review"'

Add GuardContext.opts(), which returns every value of a repeated flag
in both the `--flag value` and `--flag=value` forms, and document it
next to opt() in the agent-guard README. A token taken as a value is
still scanned as a flag, so `--body --add-label --add-label X`, where
gh reads the first --add-label as the body, still yields X. opt() now
returns the first of these values; its result is unchanged.

The guard drops CSV double quotes, splits each --add-label value on
commas, and runs the check when any entry matches the ready label
(trimmed, case-insensitive). Its fail-open paths are unchanged.

* fix(dev): follow skills/ symlinks in check-placeholders on BSD grep too (#1531)

#1522 switched the scan to `grep -R` so it follows the `skills/<name>`
symlinks into `plugins/`. That holds for GNU grep, but BSD grep (the one
macOS ships) only follows symlinks under `-R` when `-S` is also given, and
GNU grep has no `-S`. On macOS the check therefore still skipped every
skill, and the new test_reports_forbidden_pattern_in_symlinked_skill
failed in the workspace pytest hook, so every local commit on macOS was
rejected.

Build the file list once with `find -L`, which follows the links on both,
and grep that list with `-H` so each match keeps its `skills/<name>/...`
path.

  own gates (organization, resolvable id, id shape) report the explicit
  SKIP; when Step 6b did not run, report Step 6c as SKIP without loading it.
  Before, the file only loaded once an id resolved, so the "no id" SKIP it
  promises could never be emitted.

* feat(tools/mail-source): add Mailman 3 / Hyperkitty archive backend

Projects on Mailman 3 (Python, Fedora, GNU and many others) had no
mail-source backend besides Gmail. Hyperkitty, the Mailman 3 archiver,
serves its archive as a JSON API, so the adapter is a README of curl
recipes rather than code: list_recent_threads, read_thread and
thread_url, keyed by the root Message-ID like the IMAP and mbox
adapters. Like PonyMail it only reads. A private archive needs a
subscribed session the adapter does not wire, so it declines those and
the resolution rule falls through to a subscriber-side backend.

The endpoints, paging, thread keys and permission checks follow the
Hyperkitty and mailman-web sources, and the Message-ID hash recipe is
the computation of Hyperkitty's own get_message_id_hash.

The contract's capability matrix and the other lists of mail-source
backends now include it, and CONTRIBUTING no longer offers it as open
work.

The same review noted that a site with Basic authentication first in
its API settings refuses anonymous private-list reads with 401 rather
than 403, that date_active carries the server's UTC offset and has to
be compared as a timezone-aware time, and that secure-setup adopters

* perf(release-management): wording pass on the release skills (#1517)

The optimize-skill rewrite pass, with the style rules the maintainer
approved on the security family, applied to all ten release skills and
their step files: one sentence per line, three-line external-content
paragraphs, and hard rules that repeated a golden rule now pointing at
it. Headings, code blocks, emitted commands, tool invocations and
eval-covered wording are unchanged. Each pass listed every removed
sentence that carried a condition, exception or prohibition; each was
reviewed and the rule found intact elsewhere.

The skills were already lean after the extraction and split, so this
saves little: SKILL.md tokens 67,379 -> 65,707 across the family.

Fixes made along the way:
- release-prepare: the manifest read no longer pipes `gh api` into
  base64 (it asks for the raw file), the planning issue body goes
  through a scratch file instead of a /tmp heredoc, and two references
  to "Step 2f" now name the archive review, Step 2e.
- release-vote-draft: the planning-issue comment is posted with
  --body-file.
- release-verify-rc: the Step 5 FAIL example now says there is nothing
  to diff, as the eval's expected answer does; after the reflow the
  model copied the shorter example literally and failed that case.
- release-rc-cut: a hard rule cited a "Step 0 check 9" that no longer
  exists; it now points at release-config's reproducibility check.
- release-vote-tally, keys-sync, archive-sweep: golden and hard rules
  now state the rules their scripts enforce (an ambiguous latest vote
  halts; secp256k1 refused; pre-releases never archived).

* fix(release-rc-cut): route its two GitHub calls through vetted operations (#1518)

Golden rule 1 said the skill made no gh call, yet Step 0 read the RC
tag with `gh api` and Step 4 posted the planning-issue comment with
`gh issue comment`. The maintainer settled it: the skill still never
runs a release command locally, and its only GitHub access goes
through two existing vetted operations, `tags` (read) and
`repo-issue-comment` (write, asks every time, after the RM confirms).

The `tags` operation lists every tag under a prefix, so a check for
rc1 also returns rc10: the tag exists only when a line is exactly
refs/tags/<version>-<rcN>. A new eval case pins that.

The vetted-ops README's caller example gains
"release-rc-cut" = ["tags", "repo-issue-comment"]; adopters add the
same grant to their policy. Without the secure setup the skill names
the plain gh equivalents.

* fix(agent-guard): re-exec under Python 3.11+ when python3 is older

Hooks invoke the guard engine as a bare `python3`, which resolves through
the user's PATH. With an activated project virtualenv on Python 3.10 (a
common adopter setup, e.g. Apache Airflow) the module-level
`import tomllib` raised ModuleNotFoundError on every Bash call: a
traceback in the UI each time, and the guard silently never ran.

The engine now imports on 3.10 (tomllib is imported where it is used)
and, when the interpreter is older than 3.11, re-runs itself under the
newest `python3.N` (3.11+) on PATH. When none exists it exits 1 with one
actionable line instead of a traceback. Every harness adapter benefits,
since the check runs before `cli()` dispatches.

* feat(tools): add informational JVM checks 5-7 to maven-artifact-verify

The informational checks agreed on in #1173 (checks 5-7) close the
issue's plan: cheap signals a reviewer currently derives by hand,
deliberately never gates.

Extend maven-artifact-verify with an `observations` section that
never changes `status`:

- Check 5: whether every file entry of a main jar shares one
  timestamp - consistent / not consistent with a reproducible
  configuration (project.build.outputTimestamp), never asserted as
  "reproducible"; empty or single-entry jars report
  INSUFFICIENT-DATA. Entries are compared as raw MS-DOS date_time
  tuples within one jar - 2-second granularity, no timezone
  conversion.
- Check 6: whether the declared groupId sits under org.apache.*
  (informational even for ASF top-level projects - published
  coordinates cannot be renamed retroactively), and the proportion
  of class entries under the package path derived from the groupId
  plus the package roots actually found - a proportion and a list,
  never a boolean. META-INF/, module-info.class and multi-release
  overrides are excluded as legitimate divergences.
- Check 7: whether -sources.jar carries .java/.scala/.kt sources and
  no .class files, and whether -javadoc.jar is non-empty. Placeholder
  companions are the Maven-Central-sanctioned pattern, reported as
  such, never failed; no Javadoc-specific structure is asserted
  (dokka/scaladoc output is equally valid).

Opening a jar reads the zip central directory only (entry names and
timestamps); no entry content is extracted.

Surface the observations in release-verify-rc Step 6b's JSON contract
(`observations`, graded as prose, never affecting the verdict), add
two eval cases (observations-never-fail, namespace outside
org.apache.*), sync the spec and spec-loop spec, and restamp the
skill.

zipfile.BadZipFile escaped all three observation opens, so a zero-byte

the blocking report down with it. Each open now degrades to an
unreadable observation, the aggregation comment says what actually

insufficient-data in the case the tool emits.

* fix(tools): widen the observation guards and document unreadable

The observations must never take the run down, but zipfile can escape
with more than BadZipFile and OSError while parsing a damaged central
directory: UnicodeDecodeError (real, reproduced - an entry name with
the UTF-8 flag set over invalid bytes), plus NotImplementedError and
the rest of ValueError. All three opens now catch the wider set and
degrade to an unreadable observation.

The parametrised damaged-jar test covers three variants: not-a-zip
(BadZipFile), invalid-UTF-8-name-with-flag (UnicodeDecodeError), and
the patched high version-needed bytes. Verified empirically: CPython
does not validate that field at central-directory parse time, so that
variant does not raise - the case pins that the report is emitted
unchanged either way.

The unreadable signal is documented where the RM meets it (tool
README, jvm-artefacts.md, step-6b output-spec), and the asf-nexus /
Step 6c references in the docstring and README are rephrased as
pending (landing via #1505), since neither exists on main yet.

raised and asserted insufficient-data. Write 129 (12.9) instead: zipfile
then raises NotImplementedError while parsing the central directory, the
widened catch turns it into an unreadable observation, and the case now
asserts that like the other damaged variants.

* ci(labeler): label PRs on workflow_run, from skills too, and pass labels to linked issues (#1527)

* ci(labeler): label pull requests on workflow_run, from skills too, and pass labels to linked issues

Many recent pull requests carried no labels. Four causes:

- .github/labeler.yml only mapped tool directories to contract:* /
  substrate:*, so a change to skills, docs or workflows matched nothing,
  and family:* / skill capability:* were never applied automatically.
- changed-files-labels-limit was 8, and actions/labeler applies no
  changed-files label at all once more than that match: a cliff, not a
  cap.
- The hourly scheduled run labelled each pull request once, so a later
  push into another area was never relabelled.
- Labels arrived up to an hour late.

The generator now emits, from the repository's own declarations:
- family:* and capability:* from every skill's frontmatter, on the
  skill's directory and its eval suite (found through the skills/
  symlink);
- the non-skill families: family:tools (tools/ without skill evals and
  specs, and tool-only plugins), family:ci (.github/, the pre-commit
  config, tools/dev/, root tooling files), family:docs (docs/, READMEs,
  root *.md), and family:setup (Magpie's own overrides and pin);
- only labels docs/labels-and-capabilities.md defines.
The limit goes to 20.

The workflow follows magpie-site's privilege split: labeler-signal.yml
is an unprivileged pull_request doorbell with no permissions, checkout
or code, and labeler.yml runs on its workflow_run from the default
branch. The labeler finds the pull request by its head SHA (checked to
be hex) among the open ones and labels it with actions/labeler, then
adds the same family/capability/contract/substrate labels to the issues
the pull request closes or refers to, extracting only issue numbers and
checking each is an issue. A daily run labels any open pull request
still without a family label.

* ci(labeler): let only project members' or merged pull requests label issues

A security review of the linked-issue step: the pull request's body
chooses which issues get labels, so anyone opening a pull request could
point the workflow's token at any issue. Labels are now passed on
immediately only when the author is an OWNER, MEMBER or COLLABORATOR;
an outside contributor's pull request passes them on once it is merged,
which the doorbell now signals (`closed`), and the labeler finds the
merged pull request through the commit's associated pull requests.

* ci(labeler): trust a PR body only from members, and check every label has a rule

From a second security review of the linked-issue step: a PR's author
can edit its body at any time, even after the merge, so "merged" did
not make the body trustworthy, and the body was read at run time rather
than at merge. The body is now read only for an OWNER, MEMBER or
COLLABORATOR author. For anyone else it is never read: a merged PR
labels only the issues whose recorded closer (the issue timeline's
ClosedEvent) is that PR, which nobody can edit afterwards.

A new check-labeler-coverage hook (generate-labeler-config.py
--check-coverage) fails when a label docs/labels-and-capabilities.md
defines has no labeler rule, unless UNMAPPED lists it with a reason,
or when a rule names an undefined label. A label nobody can apply

phrase ("Part of #N", "Refs #N", "Related to #N", "Relates to #N",
"Follow-up to #N", with #N or this repository's issue URL). A passing
#N is not a reference. Outside contributors' PRs are unchanged: they
label only the issues their merge closed.

* perf(contributor-growth): trim nomination body budget (#1489)

* perf(contributor-growth): trim nomination body budget

* perf(contributor-growth): keep the gaps and concerns in the nomination assessment

The trim dropped two clauses from Step 4 that no companion file carries:
the GitHub-breadth line no longer asked the brief to name areas that are
thin or absent, only those with signal, and the community-interaction
line lost "behaviour under feedback" and "any concerns". Gaps matter to a
PMC weighing a nomination, so restore both clauses and re-stamp
measured_tokens.

* fix(bitbucket): report pull request state and source commit in Cloud pr status (#1526)

On Bitbucket Cloud, `pr status` fetched only the pull request's
/statuses endpoint. The normalizer reads the state from the pull request
and the head commit from a `commit` field, so every Cloud run reported
"state": "unknown" and "commit": null.

Cloud get_pull_request_status() now fetches the pull request first and
returns it under `pull_request`, with the source commit hash under
`commit`, matching the Data Center payload. Build checks are still read
from /statuses with pagination.

test_cli_pr_status_cloud now fakes the HTTP transport with a realistic
Cloud pull request and statuses page, covering the OPEN, MERGED and
DECLINED states. Before, it mocked get_pull_request_status() with a
shape the Cloud backend never returned.

Closes #1495

* fix(skill-evals): give template-less eval steps a neutral user prompt (#1524)

The runner's default user prompt, used by every step without a
user-prompt-template.md, was the security-issue-import Step 2a template.
It framed each case as an incoming report checked against a tracker
corpus and a reporter roster, and asked the model to "apply the semantic
sweep and reporter-identity check". 33 other steps (the release-* steps,
reviewer-routing and non-asf-profile-smoke) received that framing, with
an empty corpus and a "(none)" roster, next to a system prompt for an
unrelated task.

The default is now the case report followed by "Return JSON only.".
security-issue-import/step-2a-semantic-sweep, the step the old default
was written for, gets its own user-prompt-template.md with the old text,
so its rendered prompt is unchanged apart from the SPDX comment that
every template file carries.

* fix(setup-preflight): read the local lock under its own keys (#1523)

The pre-flight parsed `.apache-magpie.local.lock` with the committed
lock's parser, which accepts only `method`, `url`, `min_version`, `ref`,
`commit` and `source`. The local lock that `install.md` and `upgrade.md`
tell the agent to write uses the keys `locks.md` documents for it:
`source_method`, `source_url`, `source_ref`, `fetched_commit` and
`fetched_at`. Every snapshot install (git-branch, git-tag, svn-zip)
therefore got `snapshot-unreadable` and stopped at `step-2`.

`lockfile.parse_local` reads the local lock with that key set and still
rejects unknown keys. The drift check compares each committed key with
its local counterpart (`method`/`source_method`, `url`/`source_url`,
`ref`/`source_ref`, `commit`/`fetched_commit`), as `upgrade.md` Step 1
does. Finding codes, facts keys and sections are unchanged, and so is
the committed-lock parser.

The tests wrote the local lock with the committed lock's keys, which hid
the bug; they now write the documented format. The adoption-and-setup
spec names the local-lock keys the drift check reads.

Closes #1491

* fix(validator): check skill files reached through skills/ symlinks (#1522)

* fix(validator): check skill files reached through skills/ symlinks

Every skills/<name> entry is a symlink into
plugins/magpie-<family>/skills/<alias>. Path.rglob() does not descend
into symlinked directories before Python 3.13, so
collect_files_to_check() returned only skills/.pytest_cache/README.md
and the per-file checks in run_validation() skipped every skill.
check-placeholders.sh had the same gap: grep -r skips symlinks it meets
while recursing.

collect_files_to_check() now walks skills/ with glob's "**", which
follows the symlinks and skips dot-entries. Paths stay under
skills/<name>/ and each real file is returned once.
check-placeholders.sh scans with grep -R.

Checking the skills again surfaced two HARD violations, fixed here:

- pr-triage/backport-check.md linked an inline <a id="backports"> in
  the pr-management config template, which the validator's anchor check
  does not recognise. The link now targets the "Workflow choices"
  section that holds the backport_branches row, and the anchor, which
  had no other reference, is removed.
- security-tracker-stats-dashboard/SKILL.md reads tracker issue titles
  and bodies but had no injection-guard callout. It now carries one.

check-placeholders.sh finds no hardcoded references in the skill files
it now scans.

* fix(validator): match pre-PR review delegation by the skills/ name

PRE_PR_REVIEW_DELEGATED is keyed by the skills/<name> entry
(security-model-prepare), but validate_pre_pr_review_block() iterated
the resolved plugin directories, whose names are the plugin aliases
(model-prepare). The delegated-skill entry never matched, so a
delegating skill that lost its pre-PR review block would not be
reported. The check now iterates the skills/<name> entries.

* docs(agents): open GitHub pages for the user with gh browse (#1529)

* fix(pr-triage): check every --add-label value in the mark-ready guard (#1525)

* fix(pr-triage): check every --add-label value in the mark-ready guard

The mark-ready guard read the label with ctx.opt(), which returns only
the first value of a flag. gh accepts --add-label more than once and
parses each value as a CSV list, so these commands added the ready label
without the Golden rule 1b check for runs awaiting approval:

  gh pr edit 5 --add-label triaged --add-label "ready for maintainer review"
  gh pr edit 5 --add-label "triaged,ready for maintainer review"
  gh pr edit 5 --add-label 'triaged,"ready for maintainer review"'

Add GuardContext.opts(), which returns every value of a repeated flag
in both the `--flag value` and `--flag=value` forms, and document it
next to opt() in the agent-guard README. A token taken as a value is
still scanned as a flag, so `--body --add-label --add-label X`, where
gh reads the first --add-label as the body, still yields X. opt() now
returns the first of these values; its result is unchanged.

The guard drops CSV double quotes, splits each --add-label value on
commas, and runs the check when any entry matches the ready label
(trimmed, case-insensitive). Its fail-open paths are unchanged.

* fix(agent-guard): match gh:<group> triggers past global gh flags

command_kinds() tagged a gh segment with argv[1], so `gh -R o/r pr edit`
was tagged `gh:-R` and a contributed guard declaring
TRIGGERS = ["gh:pr"] never ran for it. Resolve the group with
gh_subcommand(), which skips global flags and their values, the way the
git branch already uses git_subcommand_index(). When no group resolves
(for example a bare `gh status`), the tag falls back to argv[1] as
before. No shipped guard triggers on a gh:<group> tag today.

* fix(dev): follow skills/ symlinks in check-placeholders on BSD grep too (#1531)

#1522 switched the scan to `grep -R` so it follows the `skills/<name>`
symlinks into `plugins/`. That holds for GNU grep, but BSD grep (the one
macOS ships) only follows symlinks under `-R` when `-S` is also given, and
GNU grep has no `-S`. On macOS the check therefore still skipped every
skill, and the new test_reports_forbidden_pattern_in_symlinked_skill
failed in the workspace pytest hook, so every local commit on macOS was
rejected.

Build the file list once with `find -L`, which follows the links on both,
and grep that list with `-H` so each match keeps its `skills/<name>/...`
path.

* fix(bitbucket): harden the cloud merge pin, timeout and status reporting

Maintainer fixup on top of the merge work:

- Require `--expected-source-commit` to be 7-40 hex characters and check it
  before any request, so a one-character prefix cannot satisfy the pin by
  accident.
- A timeout on the merge POST now says the outcome is unknown and points at
  `pr get <id>`, instead of a plain connection error that invites a retry
  while the merge may already be running.
- `merge_status` keeps a fixed vocabulary (merged / submitted / failed);
  Bitbucket's task state is reported separately as `task_status`, and the
  Bitbucket strategy actually sent as `backend_strategy`.
- Tests for the weak pin, a PR without a source commit hash, the timeout
  message, pass-through of other errors, and the reported strategy; the
  README row and the adapters spec describe the pin and the caller-run
  merge checks.

* refactor(skills): generate the Adopter overrides section from a shared block (#1532)

The "## Adopter overrides" preamble and its Hard rule were hand-copied
into 50 SKILL.md files in about a dozen slightly different wordings.
They now come from tools/dev/blocks/adopter-overrides.md, kept in sync
by check-shared-blocks.py.

check-shared-blocks.py gains an {override_name} placeholder, filled with
the name of the repo-root skills/<name> symlink that points at the skill
directory; a skill with no such symlink, or with several, is a hard
error. Blocks without the placeholder are unchanged. write-skill
scaffolds the empty block region for new skills.

* fix(release-vote-tally): bind a vote to its real sender address only (#1530)

`normalise_address` took the first `<…@…>` anywhere in `from`, so a
display name written as an address bound the vote to that person:
`"<alice@apache.org>" <mallory@example.org>` counted as a binding vote
from roster member alice, and because voter identity drives
supersession, such a later vote replaced alice's real one.

Parse `from` as an address header with `email.utils.getaddresses`, so
only the actual mailbox counts. A `from` holding several addresses, or
one the parser rejects, is non-binding and keeps an identity of its own,
so it can never supersede another voter's vote. Bare addresses and bare
handles are taken as written, as before.

* feat(config): keep install-only personal config in the git directory (#1533)

A project that only installs Magpie families, without adopting
Magpie (no committed .apache-magpie.lock), no longer gets anything in
its working tree. Its personal configuration layer is now
<git-common-dir>/apache-magpie/: never committed, needing no ignore
entry, and shared by every worktree of the clone. Adopted projects keep
.apache-magpie-local/ and .apache-magpie-overrides/ as before.

The rule lives in setup_preflight/layers.py, which computes the git
common directory by reading files rather than spawning git, and never
creates the directory on a read. The tools that resolve configuration
carry identical copies, kept in step by an AST test: release-config,
adversarial-review, the privacy-llm checker, agent-guard, the status
collector, container-gateway and sandbox-lint.

- Pre-flight: a new legacy-local-dir finding offers, with confirmation,
  to move an old in-tree .apache-magpie-local/ of an unadopted repo
  into the git-directory home; until then it is still read.
- privacy-llm checker: now reads the personal layer (it only ever read
  .apache-magpie/ and the overrides), and no longer looks in the
  framework snapshot.
- container-gateway: an unadopted repo serves from
  <git-common-dir>/apache-magpie/run/<worktree-id>/, one per worktree,
  created level by level with mode 0700; serve refuses socket paths
  over the sun_path limit, and the run dir and personal layer are never
  accepted as bind sources (compared after resolving symlinks on both
  sides). A linked worktree's common directory is trusted only when it
  is owned by the user, not group/world-writable, holds HEAD and
  objects/, and its worktrees/<name>/gitdir links back to this worktree,
  so a rewritten .git file cannot choose where sockets are bound.
  sandbox-lint exempts exactly that path.
- Specs and docs updated for the new locations.

* test(release-verify-rc): grade Step 6c paste recipes by their rules, not one reference text

The Step 6c suite failed 4-6 of 9 cases on `paste_recipe` alone: the
grader compared each candidate recipe with one reference recipe word for
word, while the step only requires properties of it. The eval also never
showed the model the adapter's recipes that Step 6c tells it to follow.

- Replace the exact `paste_recipe` in every case with structural checks
  in a new `assertions.json`, encoding the output-spec rule: an existence
  check against a concrete repository URL, an inventory listing (the
  crawl, inlined or referenced), the `--netrc-file` state check only when
  credentials are available, no write verbs or request bodies, no inline
  `-u` credentials, and a comment for a `SKIP`. Every original reference
  recipe satisfies them.
- Include `tools/asf-nexus/operations.md` in the step's `also_include`,
  as the step links it at runtime.
- State two rules the fixtures relied on but the step never said:
  `staging_repos` is ordered by repository id, and a `SKIP` leaves
  `nexus_findings` empty except for a malformed id, which records the
  rejected value.

The suite now passes 9/9 on two consecutive runs.
