…artifact Three defects, one shape: a step asked for a conclusion without saying what evidence would support it, so one got invented. Step 0's four mechanical checks all pass when the real cause is a harness that never reads hooks/hooks.json, and it then asked for "the likely cause" with a worked example naming Node. Two different invented causes reached a real project's CONTINUE.md that way; the actual cause was harness/omp/forge-bridge.ts never having been copied to ~/.omp/agent/extensions/, which this plugin's own harness/README.md documents. Step 0 now separates a broken machine from an intact one nobody is driving, resolves the harness from a marker table that harness/README.md owns, and reports a missing adapter as one line naming the file to copy. Not knowing the harness still produces a complete report. CLAUDECODE=1 does not establish Claude Code: omp sets it deliberately for tool compatibility alongside its own OMPCODE=1, so keying on it would return a confident wrong answer in exactly the situation being diagnosed. next_action took the lowest-numbered open task because status was the only field it had. The record set had no way to say why an open task is waiting, so the three backlog dispositions forge-standards defines all collapsed to open and "leave Deferred items alone" could not be evaluated. Task records gain a disposition field, absent reading as ready, with a Step 2a backfill row so the default is offered once rather than carried silently forever. The release CI gate now names its artifact, read for the commit being released and quoted with its run ids. A recorded gate result whose subject is a commit is absent, not stale, once commits land on top of it; one whose subject is a surface is not.

…er guard Step 0's harness branch reads harness/README.md at the plugin root, but CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set for hook processes rather than for the session running the skill, and listing the cache directory picks a version at random: on the machine forge-bridge.ts was written for, the cache held five and the registry resolved a build seven versions old. Step 0 now names ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json, so the one branch that fires when hooks are not working cannot dead-end on a path it was never taught to find. The marker vocabulary test guarded two skills by name, which looks like a one-owner guard without being one. It now sweeps every skill and template. Step 2a's disposition row says to expect a stale records_hash on the first index check after the field set grows, rather than reading it as a discrepancy.

- Line 107: Update the task-selection logic using readRecords() so open tasks

fallback selection, ensuring T-2 precedes T-10. Apply this ordering consistently
to both fallback selection paths, including row 7 and next_action.
In `@templates/forge-index.js`:
- Line 150: Update the open.tasks schema example in notes/stage-1-records.md to
show task entries as objects containing id and disposition, matching the shape
emitted by the openTasks.map logic in forge-index.js; remove the obsolete
bare-ID example.
In `@tests/harness-and-gates.test.js`:
- Around line 41-43: Update the Step 0 assertions around STEP0 to verify
ordering, ensuring the harness-identification branch appears before the “If all
four pass” unsupported-fault branch. Compare the indices or positions of these
distinct markers rather than only asserting that both phrases exist.
- Around line 105-115: Strengthen the tests around the release-gate and
reconciliation decisions rather than checking only keywords: require every named
workflow, completed successful conclusions, and rejection of unavailable or
pending results. In the “the release gate names the artifact and refuses a
quoted claim” and “a commit-subject gate result expires against later commits,
and a surface-subject one does not” tests, add assertions covering the exact
commit-scoped expiry and surface-scoped persistence branches, including the
existing “absent rather than stale” and “polish pass” behavior.

Make the no-adapter Claude Code path explicit.
skills/forge/SKILL.md defines the recognized-marker path together with a matching harness/<name>/ directory. This row says that Claude Code has no adapter, so a Claude Code marker has no matching directory and falls through to the unknown-harness fallback. Step 0 will not identify Claude Code or apply the correct adapter guidance. Add an explicit no-adapter branch in Step 0 and test the Claude Code marker case.

|
|
||
| Under `records: backfilled` the disposition is the task record's `disposition` field, one of `ready`, `needs-decision`, `deferred`, and an absent field reads as ready. That field is what makes "leave Deferred items alone" something a tool can evaluate rather than a sentence: `.forge/index.json` skips anything not ready when it derives `next_action`, and the open-work view shows the column. While the backlog is still monolithic, the section and the prose in `TODO.md` carry it. |

Require ready before selecting an in-progress task as next_action.
The schema accepts deferred and needs-decision for task records without coupling them to status. templates/forge-index.js selects an in-progress task before checking lib.dispositionOf, so a non-ready task can become next_action. Add a regression test and either reject this state combination or require lib.dispositionOf(r) === "ready" in the first selection predicate.

Do not infer that the hook manifest was not read.
The four mechanical checks establish only that Node, the manifest, and the scripts exist and are usable. They do not establish that the harness failed to read hooks/hooks.json. A valid but unregistered manifest or a failed injection can produce the same observation. Report the cause as unknown, then use the marker table to identify the harness and adapter.

Sort tasks by numeric ID before selecting the fallback.
readRecords() sorts IDs lexicographically, so T-10 precedes T-2. forge-index.js uses that order in openTasks.find(...). The fallback can therefore select the wrong task. Sort by the numeric ID suffix before the find() calls.

Update the open.tasks schema example. notes/stage-1-records.md:213 still documents bare task IDs, but templates/forge-index.js emits { id, disposition } objects. Update the example so consumers do not implement the obsolete schema.

Assert the Step 0 ordering.
The test title requires harness identification before unsupported fault claims, but these assertions only check that the relevant phrases exist. A later edit could move the harness handoff after the fault diagnosis and still pass. Compare the positions of the all-pass branch and the harness-identification branch.

Test the release-gate decisions, not only the keywords.
These assertions check for gh run list --commit, run IDs, and in_progress, but they do not require every named workflow, a completed successful conclusion, or rejection of unavailable results. They also do not distinguish commit-scoped evidence expiry from surface-scoped evidence persistence. Add assertions for those exact branches so a documentation regression cannot retain the keywords while weakening the release gate.

Three defects reported from a real session on 2026-09-05, in a mature forge
project running under
omprather than Claude Code. They turned out to share ashape: a step asked for a conclusion without saying what evidence would support
it, so one got invented.
Closes #8, closes #9, closes #10.
Step 0 asks the harness question before it names a fault (#8)
Step 0's four mechanical checks all pass when the cause is a harness that never
reads
hooks/hooks.json, and it then asked for "the likely cause" with a workedexample naming Node. Two different invented causes reached a real project's
CONTINUE.mdthat way. The real cause washarness/omp/forge-bridge.tsneverhaving been copied to
~/.omp/agent/extensions/, which this plugin's ownharness/README.mddocuments and Step 0 never pointed at.The trap in the obvious fix. Keying harness detection on
CLAUDECODEwouldreturn a confident wrong answer in exactly the situation being diagnosed. Read
out of the installed
omp.exe, this is the function that builds the environmentomp hands to a shell tool call:
omp sets it deliberately, for tool compatibility.
CLAUDECODEis necessary andnot sufficient;
OMPCODEis the discriminator. Provenance: the Claude Codemarkers were observed live in a session, the omp values were read from the
binary rather than from a running omp.
Step 0 now separates a broken machine from an intact one nobody is driving. A
failing mechanical check is still named. When all four pass it resolves the
harness from a marker table in
harness/README.md, and a missing adapter isreported as one line naming the file to copy. Not recognising the harness still
produces a complete, actionable report; naming a cause the diagnostics did not
establish is explicitly refused.
Step 0 also now says how to resolve the plugin root it keeps reading:
~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json, not a listing of the cache, for thereason
forge-bridge.tsdocuments. Without that, the one branch that fires whenhooks are not working could dead-end on a path the skill never taught it to find.
Enforcement that degrades silently. Projects copy "a PreToolUse hook denies
the write" into
CONTINUE.mdas a live guarantee, and under a harness that neverloads the hook the sentence is false with nothing to say so. Rather than hedge,
the guarantee is restated as the portable one:
templates/lefthook.ymlrunsforge-views.js checkas06_viewsunderpre-push, an ordinary program thatholds under any harness, with the hook as the fast local deny where it loads.
Task dispositions, and a next_action that stops naming parked work (#9)
Reported symptom:
next_actionpicks a deliberately parked post-1.0 item.Reproduced with the shipped programs.
The cause is one level up.
forge-standardsdefines three backlog dispositions;the record set has no field for them, so all three collapse to
open. Ladder row7's "open the next Ready slice, surface a Needs-decision item's question, leave
Deferred items alone" was unexecutable under
records: backfilled, andnext_actionwas reading the only field it had.Task records gain
disposition(ready,needs-decision,deferred). Theindex skips anything not ready, the open-work view shows the column, the linter
rejects an unknown value or one on a non-task record, and the migration now
carries the TODO heading forward so a bullet under
## Blockedsurvives asneeds-decision.An absent field reads as ready, so an existing project still has a next
action rather than a null one across hundreds of records. That means the reported
symptom persists until the record is edited, which is why this ships with a
/forgeStep 2a backfill row: the default is offered once rather than carriedsilently forever.
The release CI gate names an artifact (#10)
A release was cut on top of two pushes with a red job, because the recorded gate
line said "CI green" and every other gate in the list had actually been measured.
gh run listwithout a commit filter answers a different question, and onecommit routinely has several runs. Against this repo at HEAD: three runs, two
validatefrom a branch push and a tag push, plus a Pages deploy. So the gate isread per SHA, per workflow the project names as gating, quoted with run ids, and
a run still
in_progresshas no conclusion and is not green. Whenghisunavailable the gate is unmeasurable rather than met.
The general rule went into Step 2 reconcile, with the boundary that keeps it from
over-firing: a gate result whose subject is a commit (CI, suite, coverage) is
evidence only for the commit it was measured against and is absent, not stale,
once commits land on top of it. One whose subject is a surface, such as the
polish pass, does not expire that way.

Follow-up, filed but not scoped here
Step 0's premise is "no state block appeared in this session's context", which is
the model introspecting on its own context, an unreliable narrator in precisely
the situation being diagnosed. A breadcrumb written by
session-start.jswouldmake the check mechanical. Noted in #8.
