The joining page, DEPLOY and the laptop sync default moved to development in the
commit before this one. This finishes the move and closes what a fresh clone's
friend test found.
- landing-preconditions diffs against origin/development when no landing branch
is exported, instead of main.
- CLOUD-DEVELOPMENT-ENVIRONMENT, the plugin-designer skill (SKILL.md, workflow,
glossary) and the shared dev server's notes land on and follow development;
the skill says never to push to main.
- The sync fetches with the laptop's own credentials. git runs with prompts off,
so on a clone with no credential helper it failed every interval with a bare
"fetch-failed / remote: Unauthorized", which read as a broken server. That case
is now its own state, needs-credentials: the log (once, not every tick) and
/api/dev-sync say "dev-sync needs git credentials for <remote>". The joining
page and .env.example say so, and that a fresh clone starts on main and must
switch to development before the sync can fast-forward it.
Measured in scratch repos: the private remote with no helper gives
needs-credentials and one warning over two ticks; a local remote with no
DX_SYNC_BRANCH follows development and fast-forwards; a missing remote stays
fetch-failed.
SKILL.md claimed new plugins land in a Research Gallery Experimental section.
That section was replaced by capability tiers (plugin-studio.vue:630); stage is
now a label prefix, not a place. Both stale lines corrected.
Adds what the skill never said:
- capability is DERIVED from composes and an explicit type is CHECKED against it
(check-capability-derived.mjs), with its two traps;
- rail labels come from meta, and check-studio-rail.mjs:68 fails a bare id;
- presets merge OVER the profile's meta config, key by key -- rule 3 of
documentation/PRESET-PLUGIN-STANDARD.md, asserted by check:preset-config-merge
(generate-tree.mjs:1094, the comment there records the pinHint bug);
- targets is read (profile-meta.mjs:28) and consequential: the Research Gallery
skips a bundle that does not list web (doxa-maps-spa.vue:605).
Depth moves to references/: glossary, targets, backend, workflow. backend.md
carries the PocketBase user tiers marked DESIGN INTENT, NOT BUILT -- quoted
rather than linked, because their source lives outside this repo.
Verified against this tree, rebased on main: 61 path citations resolve, 10 line
citations land on the code they claim.
README: one line pointing an agent at the skill.
