 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-07-22 — Skill Mirror Sync
+- Added `scripts/sync-skills`, adapted from upstream, so Claude Code and Codex share one canonical per-skill mirror across agent-scripts, optional manager skills, and codex-local extras.
+- Kept Bram's documented flat per-skill layout for both roots instead of upstream's whole-root Codex symlink, added `--dry-run`/`--no-instructions` and path overrides, and canonicalized targets so repo-owned skills resolve to their own repo.
+- First run pruned nine broken links from a removed skill experiment and published ~20 skills that were present in `skills/` but missing from `~/.claude/skills`.
+
 ## 2026-07-13 — Bram Maintainer Loop v2
 - Added a Peter-style cross-repository maintainer loop for `BramVR`, with one persistent Codex app task per repository, a 30-repository concurrency target, autonomous dependency upgrades, serialized public mutations, live proof, autoreview, and verified release proposals.

 Never interrupt, archive, rename, duplicate, or replace a worker without first reading its current state. For a suspected duplicate, read both threads; if either has unique progress, edits, or an active turn, leave it alone and ask Bram before changing thread state.
 
+### Worker Permission Integrity
+
+- Treat the worker's configured access as part of its contract. Repository workers configured for full access must run with `approval_policy=never` and a disabled/full-access permission profile.
+- Context compaction, background continuation, handoff, or task-setting changes can drift a running turn back to managed `workspace-write/on-request` even while the UI still says Full access. When an ordinary edit or repository command unexpectedly requests approval, inspect the latest worker turn/rollout permission context before calling it a Bram blocker.
+- For verified permission drift, root restores Full access in the existing worker task and approves the already-scoped pending action itself. Prefer the durable task/path option when the prompt offers one. Never ask Bram to approve ordinary edits, tests, commits, pushes, or CI operations already covered by loop authority.
+- Auto-restoration applies only to the assigned repository/worktree and already-authorized GitHub workflow. Never auto-approve secrets, destructive unique-work handling, releases, external-system mutations, or a broader path than the worker owns.
+- After restoration, confirm the worker emitted a new execution step and recheck permission integrity after its next compaction. If the platform repeatedly resets the same active turn, preserve the worker's unique state, finish the current safe operation through root-controlled approval, and move the task to a proper project-scoped worktree at its next clean pushed handoff boundary.
+
 ### Active Waits
 
 - Keep the project turn active until its work reaches a terminal state. Do not emit a final answer or stop merely because CI, a runner, review, mergeability, deployment, an auth prompt, or a long command is pending.

+- `gohealthcli` is installed on Hermes VM at `~/.local/bin/gohealthcli`; `hermes-gateway` PATH includes it.

+- VM archive: `~/.local/share/gohealthcli/gohealthcli.sqlite` plus `.attachments/`.

+- Daily Discord script: `~/.hermes/scripts/gohealth_daily.sh`; syncs steps from newest archived timestamp minus 30 minutes to now, avoiding whole-day replays after the archive is warm.

+ssh hermes-vm '$HOME/.local/bin/gohealthcli doctor --online --plain'

+
+Auth behavior:
+
+- Normal access-token expiry should auto-refresh.
+- Broken/revoked refresh auth reports `connection_unhealthy` with `token_status: refresh_failed` or `token_missing`; sync should not open a browser from Discord/cron.
+- Reauth is explicit: run `gohealthcli connect --plain`, then `doctor --online --plain`.
+- Headless VM reauth may need SSH tunnel/browser handling; fallback is reauth on Mac and copy refreshed `tokens.json` to VM without printing it.
+- HTTP 400 is not always auth. On 2026-06-28, failed runs 269/271 used an invalid range (`from` 2026-06-29 after `to` 2026-06-28T16:24Z); bounded run 270 completed.

+description: "Maya plugin UI/e2e proof workflow: use when testing Maya plugins through Maya Stall, Windows Maya hosts, pluginArtifacts, screenshots/recordings, Scenario Result JSON, untrusted-plugin popups, UI clicking, or PR closeout gates that need real Maya evidence."
+---
+
+# Maya Plugin E2E
+
+## Overview
+
+Run real Maya plugin proof without rediscovering the same traps. Prefer deterministic setup, trusted plugin staging, explicit UI actions, and evidence-backed closeout over manual smoke claims.
+
+## Fast Path
+
+1. Confirm target commit, CI artifact job, artifact size, and plugin hash before touching the live host.
+2. Confirm the Maya Stall host is free, the run command, host config, and target profile.
+3. Verify `pluginArtifacts` are declared by the scenario/project and the host config has a trusted plugin artifact root.
+4. Start from a clean run workspace; do not reuse stale screenshots, recordings, or Scenario Results.
+5. Run the real gate through `maya-stall run`, not manual Maya unless explicitly debugging.
+6. Inspect Scenario Result JSON first, then screenshots/recordings, logs, and saved scene.
+7. Close only with exact-head proof: commit, CI artifact job/id/hash/size, run id, screenshot/recording paths/sizes, Scenario Result fields, confidentiality pass.
+
+## Preflight
+
+Use exact queries; do not print secrets or full host configs.
+
+```bash
+maya-stall status
+python3 - <<'PY'
+import json, pathlib, zipfile, hashlib
+artifact = pathlib.Path("artifacts.zip")
+print("artifact:", artifact.resolve())
+print("artifact_size:", artifact.stat().st_size)
+print("artifact_sha256:", hashlib.sha256(artifact.read_bytes()).hexdigest())
+with zipfile.ZipFile(artifact) as z:
+    for name in z.namelist():
+        if name.lower().endswith((".mll", ".so", ".bundle", ".dll")):
+            data = z.read(name)
+            print("plugin:", name)
+            print("plugin_size:", len(data))
+            print("plugin_sha256:", hashlib.sha256(data).hexdigest())
+PY
+```
+
+For Maya Stall host config, report only safe shape:
+
+```bash
+python3 - <<'PY'
+import json, pathlib
+try:
+    import yaml
+except Exception:
+    raise SystemExit("Install/read yaml another way; do not dump host config.")
+p = pathlib.Path("/path/to/hosts.yaml")
+data = yaml.safe_load(p.read_text())
+hosts = data.get("hosts") or []
+for i, h in enumerate(hosts):
+    safe = sorted(k for k in h if k.lower() not in {"host","hostname","user","username","identityfile","password","privatekey"})
+    print(f"host[{i}] keys:", safe)
+    print(f"host[{i}] trustedPluginArtifactsRoot:", bool(h.get("trustedPluginArtifactsRoot")))
+PY
+```
+
+If `trustedPluginArtifactsRoot` is missing and the plugin loads from a transient workspace path, expect Maya's security modal. Fix trusted staging before rerun; clicking `Allow` is a diagnostic escape hatch, not accepted proof.
+
+## Running
+
+Use the project-provided command exactly when a coordinator gives one:
+
+```bash
+/tmp/maya-stall-latest run --host-config /tmp/hosts.yaml --target-profile default --stop-after never product_ui_e2e
+```
+
+During a live run:
+
+- Do not start a second live run against a shared host.
+- Watch for timeout text, Scenario Result path, run id, artifact bundle root, screenshot path, and recording path.
+- If the command times out, immediately inspect the captured failure screenshot before editing code.
+- If the screenshot shows a Maya modal, identify the modal; do not assume the scenario is slow.
+- If the screenshot shows no modal and Maya is active, inspect script logs and outputs for waiting loops, expensive meshes, missing file writes, or stuck UI callbacks.
+
+## UI Proof
+
+For behavior-changing plugin PRs, require real UI operations that would fail if controls or windows are broken:
+
+- Create representative geometry, not a trivial plane, when the behavior is surface-dependent.
+- Open the plugin's real UI windows in the same Maya session.
+- Position windows before screenshot/recording; verify bounding boxes do not overlap.
+- Click or call through the actual UI control callbacks used by artists.
+- Assert resulting node attributes or state changed to the expected values.
+- Sample geometry before/after deformation; fail on zero or tiny displacement.
+- Save the scene and include the saved path in Scenario Result JSON.
+
+Common KLV Push/Dynamics expectations:
+
+- Curved high-resolution target, e.g. `polySphere` or body-like mesh.
+- KLV Push UI controls: firmness/depth/bulge or project-equivalent real artist controls.
+- KLV Dynamics window in the same session when the PR touches shared product UI.
+- Scenario fields: `targetSurface`, `windowsNonOverlapping`, `deformationSamples`, `savedScene`.
+
+## Screenshot/Recording Points
+
+Capture or verify evidence at these points:
+
+- Startup failure: immediate failure screenshot, useful for modals/popups.
+- After plugin load: UI windows visible, no security modal.
+- After control edits: changed controls visible where possible.
+- After deformation: viewport shows changed target.
+- Final closeout: Scenario Result references screenshot/recording/saved scene or the evidence bundle contains them.
+
+Before publishing evidence paths or attaching media, inspect for private desktop content, hostnames, secrets, chat/browser tabs, or personal files. If screenshots include private content, keep them local and report only non-sensitive metadata unless the coordinator explicitly approves publication.
+
+## Popup Handling
+
+Treat recurring popups as setup failures first:
+
+- `Untrusted Plugin Loading`: verify `pluginArtifacts` and `trustedPluginArtifactsRoot`; rerun from trusted staging. Do not close issue by clicking `Allow`.
+- Missing plugin/load failure: verify downloaded artifact commit/job, extracted plugin extension, `MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH`, and Scenario Result logs.
+- License/update/welcome dialogs: close only if they are host baseline noise; then rerun from a clean state and record the action.
+- File overwrite/save dialogs: make scenario write to a unique run path or remove the prompt condition in code.
+
+Only use manual clicks to diagnose or clear host baseline state. Accepted proof must be repeatable from the command line.
+
+## Failure Triage
+
+Classify before patching:
+
+- Scenario-owned: too slow mesh, waits on missing output, no timeout budget awareness, non-unique files, UI overlap, callback not invoked, no final JSON.
+- Host/Maya Stall owned: SSH/session timeout before scenario starts, broken screenshot/recording transport, missing trusted root in host config, broker unreachable.
+- Artifact-owned: stale commit artifact, wrong Maya version, missing plugin binary, bad hash/size mismatch.
+
+If scenario-owned, patch the same PR/MR and rerun local tests, autoreview, CI, artifact download, then real live gate. If host/Maya Stall owned and independent of the scenario, open/propose separate infra work and do not merge on waived proof.
+
+## Closeout Checklist
+
+Record concise proof:
+
+- target commit and target branch
+- CI pipeline/job id, artifact size, artifact sha256, plugin sha256
+- Maya Stall command, run id, Maya version/profile
+- Scenario Result path and key fields
+- screenshot path/size and recording path/size
+- saved scene path/size
+- local tests and autoreview result
+- Public Artifact Confidentiality: PASS/FAIL with reason
+
+Never close a behavior-changing Maya plugin PR with fake/local-only, stale-head, plane-only, skipped, manual-only, or screenshot-only proof.

 - 1Password service accounts are non-interactive tokens for a specific vault/scope, useful for automation without unlocking the desktop app.
-- No 1Password service account is configured by default.
-- Check `~/.profile` first for service-account tokens before asking the user to unlock the 1Password desktop app.
