Refs: #7293

Agent Brief

Type: Task
Summary: Close the upstream-pointer sweep's open medium and low findings in autonomy, context-guard, fleet and harness-memory.

Current behavior:
The sweep's light pass (#7293) left these findings open as of 2026-10-11/12:

  • autonomy README: missing-pointer, hooks-guide#stop-hook-hits-the-block-cap
  • context-guard reader contract and cloud-headless-capture reference (3 findings): missing-pointer, desktop-wsl#what-works-in-a-wsl-session
  • fleet reach relay reference: incomplete-record, agent-view#limitations; relay and reach SKILL.md: drift, cross-session-messaging#non-interactive-sessions and #control-inbound-messages
  • harness-memory audit official-guidance: incomplete-record, plugins/mods/overview#mods-built-into-claude-code

Desired behavior:
Each listed passage is re-checked against the live page (docs fetch scripts). A finding already fixed on main is left alone and noted in the PR body. Otherwise: drift is corrected to what the live page says now; a missing pointer gains a pointer record (exact anchor, as-of date, recheck trigger); an incomplete record gains its missing parts; a wrong-host citation names the canonical URL. Restated volatile specifics in skill bodies become pointers, not new copies.

Key interfaces:

  • Pointer records: anchor, as-of date and recheck trigger beside each restated upstream fact.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Each listed finding is either changed in the diff or named in the PR body as already fixed, with the live anchor it was checked against.
  • Every pointer record the diff adds or completes carries an anchor, an as-of date and a recheck trigger.
  • check-skill.sh passes on every skill whose files the diff touches. (skip if no skill file is touched)
  • scripts/check-changelog-fragments.sh passes, with one changelog fragment for each plugin the diff touches. (skip for repository-root files)

Out of scope:
