sync: merge upstream kunchenguid/firstmate main (11 commits)

Absorbs:

Nine conflicts. Each was integrated so the fork keeps Atelier naming,
wedge-working deferral, and allow-no-ack drain tests, while absorbing
upstream's additive contracts. Nothing was dropped as incompatible.

  • AGENTS.md: kept both watcher-internal globs. Fork's .wedge-verified-*
    (working-stale re-verify marker) plus upstream's .churn-since-*
    (opt-in turn-end pane-churn window).
  • .agents/skills/process-event-sources/SKILL.md: kept Atelier command
    names and bearings-board routing; absorbed upstream's quota adapter
    help, register-extension / trusted-host pointers, generic
    fm-procevent.sh classify routing, and the structured read
    presentation command (named at the Atelier adapter).
  • bin/fm-procevent-atelier.sh: rename conflict against upstream
    fm-procevent-lavish.sh. Kept Atelier / atelier-axi 0.3.3 (including
    the unused --full note). Absorbed upstream's read usage, command,
    and structured presentation; renamed leftover "Lavish" labels in that
    new command to Atelier. Recalculated usage() header bounds to 2-109.
  • bin/fm-watch.sh: header-only conflict. Kept fork's
    FM_WEDGE_WORKING_ESCALATE_SECS re-verify deferral wording and
    absorbed upstream's absorb-only-on-positive-evidence plus
    config/turnend-churn-absorb as a third proof. The auto-merged body
    already implemented both.
  • docs/architecture.md: kept the fork's working-stale re-examine
    explanation (FM_STALE_ESCALATE_SECS is re-check, not alarm;
    wedge_escalation_deferred owner). Folded upstream's "without
    positive evidence" phrasing into the actionable-wake sentence. Churn
    absorb already auto-merged later in the same section.
  • docs/captain-hold-lifecycle.md: kept fm-procevent-atelier.sh answers;
    absorbed upstream's built-in-only keyed-answer feed and the trusted
    external adapter "no answer operation" boundary (feat(bin): add trusted process-event extension bindings kunchenguid/firstmate#3247).
  • docs/configuration.md: three hunks. (1) Kept atelier-axi as the AXI
    class-mate; absorbed fix: keep task records and backlog transitions atomic kunchenguid/firstmate#3322's refuse-lifecycle-mutation-until-compatible
    tasks-axi policy (matches auto-merged fm-backlog-transition-lib.sh).
    The fork's older "hand-edit until approved" sentence is superseded by
    that atomicity fix, not deleted as a separate feature. (2) Kept Atelier
    poll retry / FM_ATELIER_POLL_RETRY_DELAY; absorbed built-in vs
    external adapter routing. (3) Kept the Atelier silence shape; absorbed
    "for built-ins" because extensions do not feed keyed answers.
  • docs/verification/process-event-sources.md: kept this tree's
    2026-08-11 Linux / atelier-axi 0.3.3 evidence rather than copying
    upstream's macOS lavish live dates as if this fork ran them. Added
    that tests/fm-extension-binding.test.sh covers feat(bin): add trusted process-event extension bindings kunchenguid/firstmate#3247. Used
    upstream's "generic built-in keyed-answer feed" qualifier with Atelier
    silence wording.
  • tests/fm-watcher-lock.test.sh: kept fork's drain_and_ack allow-no-ack
    (still used by cycle-ledger idle drains). Dropped
    mark_pr_check_migration_complete and its call sites: refactor: retire legacy PR-check migration machinery kunchenguid/firstmate#3299 retired
    the migration machinery, and nothing in the merged watcher/bootstrap
    still consults those markers.

Leftover hunt after auto-merge:

  • tests/fm-procevent.test.sh and tests/fm-extension-binding.test.sh
    still called fm-procevent-lavish.sh / register lavish. Pointed them
    at the fork's atelier built-in. No other lavish or
    fm-pr-check-migrate references remain in tracked files.
  • PR_CHECK_MIGRATION remains only as a negative assertion in
    tests/fm-pr-check-security.test.sh that bootstrap no longer prints it.

Verification:

  • bin/fm-lint.sh --fast clean (ShellCheck 0.11.0 pinned; actionlint
    1.7.12 pinned; 3 workflow files valid). Full extended analysis was too
    slow on this 106-file merge to finish locally; CI is skipped per the
    captain.
  • Targeted tests under umask 022: fm-check-unregister, fm-quota-choose,
    fm-test-fixtures, fm-procevent-quota, fm-harness-adapter-references,
    fm-backlog-atomicity, fm-captain-hold-lifecycle, fm-procevent,
    fm-extension-binding, fm-watcher-lock, fm-watch-triage, fm-watch-arm.
    All passed.
  • Environmental note, not a merge defect: this host's default umask 002
    makes mkdir produce mode 775, which the new extension/procevent
    private-mode checks refuse. The same tests pass with umask 022, matching
    typical CI. Did not change upstream tests to paper over that.

* docs: split harness adapter operations reference

* no-mistakes(review): Fix harness adapter routing and ownership contracts

* no-mistakes(review): Prune duplicate harness adapter ownership prose

* no-mistakes(review): Fix default effort routing and Grok max semantics

* no-mistakes(review): Remove source-only routing test and duplicate semantics

* no-mistakes(document): Fix harness adapter documentation references
* test(fixtures): share fake-toolchain and spawn-world builders

Future tests can start from tests/fixtures.sh instead of copying stubs, and a
no-mistakes version-floor bump is one constant rather than a multi-file edit.

Migrated this round: fm-busy-adapter-wiring, fm-spawn-pool-base-freshen,
fm-grok-harness, fm-tangle-guard, fm-gate-refuse, fm-spawn-dispatch-profile.
Left for opportunistic migration: remaining make_spawn_fakebin copies
(trace-context, kimi, muse, backend), the make_stubs send cluster, and the
fake no-mistakes version banners in bootstrap/session-start/secondmate suites.
Did not touch tests/fm-pr-check-security.test.sh.

* no-mistakes(review): Prevent fake SSH test from blocking on stdin

* no-mistakes(document): Clarify shared fixture documentation

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed the flaky watcher triage test by extending its startup-sensitive timer-repair wait from 3s to 10s, matching existing loaded-runner budgets. Verified with the full tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh suite, bash syntax validation, and git diff checks

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed portable serial shard 4 by updating the inactive-reconcile fixture to prime status through the public fm_wake_status_mark_current API, ensuring classifier helpers load correctly and preventing the idle watcher from exiting. Verified the test three consecutive times, ran fm-test-fixtures, ShellCheck, bash syntax checks, and git diff checks. The outer no-mistakes executor can now bind a fresh attestation to the new head

* no-mistakes(ci): Added behavioral coverage proving the shared spawn tmux fixture defaults an unset FM_FAKE_PANE_PATH to empty. Verified the fixture suite, ShellCheck, syntax/diff checks, and all six migrated test suites; all passed. The outer executor can now bind a fresh no-mistakes attestation to the updated head
* feat(bin): retire completed PR-check migration machinery

Every registered home already carried both completion markers, and no
installer still creates pre-migration checks. Remove the one-time migrate
script, its bootstrap/watch/teardown/docs surface, and migration-path tests
without weakening live check-trust or PR-poll authentication.

* no-mistakes(review): Restore live PR-check security coverage

* no-mistakes(document): Refresh retired PR-check documentation

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed both failing CI checks. Updated inactive-reconcile setup to use the public status-marking interface, preventing false watcher exits. Made remote-job shutdown deterministic by stopping the complete worker tree before tampering. Verified both affected test suites, repeated inactive reconciliation, shell syntax, and git diff checks

* no-mistakes(document): Document external evidence confinement

* no-mistakes(ci): CI phase fixed. The failure was a flaky fixture in `tests/fm-remote-transport-lanes.test.sh`: its “fresh/in-use” staging directory had no live owner identity, so the real worker correctly reaped it once the 1-second age boundary elapsed on slower CI. The fixture now records the active test shell’s exact PID/start identity and cleans those records before removal. Verified: `bash tests/fm-remote-transport-lanes.test.sh` exits 0 with all checks passing; `git diff --check` passes. Provider check retrieval was also retried successfully, resolving the selected manual CI finding. Changed file: `tests/fm-remote-transport-lanes.test.sh`

* no-mistakes(document): Document extension capture authority boundary

* no-mistakes(lint): Fix ShellCheck extension binding warnings

* no-mistakes(ci): CI phase result: fixed `bin/fm-procevent.sh` by initializing the shared `capture_state` sentinel for built-in adapters under `set -u`. This prevents normal built-in captures from aborting before publication. Verified: `bash -n bin/fm-procevent.sh` and `git diff --check` pass. The focused process-event suite was run locally but stopped earlier at a local detached-runner claim failure (`reconcile never claimed the registered source`), before the CI-reported post-capture path; CI evidence confirms the fixed unset-variable failure affected the failing remote, board, watcher, and process-event checks

* no-mistakes(document): Correct extension namespace creation timing

* no-mistakes(lint): Initialize capture locals for ShellCheck
* fix(bin): deliver the real definition of done to a promoted scout, and ban --yes

A promoted scout used to receive a free-form placeholder instead of the
mode-specific Definition of done a briefed ship worker gets, so it never
saw the ask-user escalation rule or the --yes prohibition. That gap is the
concrete reason one incident's worker drove validation with --yes and
answered its own ask-user findings.

- Add bin/fm-dod-lib.sh as the single owner of a ship task's mode-specific
  Definition of done, rendered by both bin/fm-brief.sh and bin/fm-promote.sh
  so the two contracts cannot drift.
- bin/fm-promote.sh now writes data/<id>/ship-instructions.md carrying the
  scratch inventory, clean base, ship branch, and that Definition of done,
  and prints the fm-send.sh command that delivers it.
- State the --yes ban as a prohibition rather than a preference, without
  claiming an enforcement the tool does not provide.
- Cover both through the real promotion and brief paths in
  tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh and tests/fm-brief.test.sh.

* no-mistakes(review): Publish promotion instructions before committing task state

* no-mistakes(review): Supersede conflicting scout delivery rules after promotion

* no-mistakes(review): Reject invalid promotion instruction destinations

* no-mistakes(document): Align documentation with promotion delivery contracts

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed both CI findings. Promoted workers now receive an explicit worktree-isolation check before branch creation, with instructions to stop and escalate if they are in the primary checkout. Updated behavioral coverage to verify the delivered promotion payload, and aligned the ask-user authority test with the new fleet-wide --yes prohibition. Verified with bin/fm-lint.sh, tests/fm-brief.test.sh, tests/fm-ask-user-authority.test.sh, tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh, and git diff --check

* no-mistakes(ci): Made tests/fm-ask-user-authority.test.sh executable so the modified colocated behavioral test runs directly like the surrounding test suite. Verified bin/fm-lint.sh, fm-brief, ask-user-authority, and task-delivery tests; all pass. git diff --check is clean

* no-mistakes(ci): Strengthened tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh to behaviorally verify that real promotion and brief generation deliver byte-identical Definition-of-done blocks for all three modes. Verified tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh, tests/fm-brief.test.sh, bin/fm-lint.sh, and git diff --check. The outer pipeline can now commit and attest the updated head

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed promotion isolation instructions so any checkout other than the launched disposable worktree requires escalation, including another non-primary worktree. Updated behavioral coverage against the delivered promotion payload. Verified fm-task-delivery, fm-brief, fm-ask-user-authority, full fm-lint/ShellCheck, workflow lint, and git diff checks
)

* fix(bin): present complete Lavish board feedback as structured output

Give the Lavish adapter a read-only presentation so a handler sees every
annotation and the session-ending tag=message as its own field, instead of
grepping a truncated raw capture.

* no-mistakes(review): Preserve unquoted messages and prioritize captain prose

* no-mistakes(document): Document structured Lavish result reads

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed Lavish `read` completeness: rows missing declared fields are excluded from presented items, counted as malformed, and force `complete: no`. Added behavioral regression coverage through the adapter interface. `bin/fm-lint.sh`, syntax checks, and focused valid/malformed read checks passed. The portable-serial failure was an unrelated secondmate cooldown timing flake
* fix(records): pair backlog transitions with the record that moves

Dispatch and completion each moved a task's physical record and its
backlog row as two independently timed steps, so a crash or a forgotten
follow-up could leave the two disagreeing: a record with no in-flight
row, an in-flight row with no owner, or a finished task still shown in
flight.

Fold each backlog transition into the script that performs the physical
change, under the per-task lock it already holds and before it reports
success. Dispatch moves the item to In flight after publishing the task
record and fails loudly, removing its provisional record, when that
transition cannot land. Completion records an authoritative close and
performs it before removing the record, so an interrupted cleanup can be
finished later, and its closing message now confirms what already
happened rather than instructing a future step.

Add a same-home reconciliation sweep to session start so a home that was
interrupted mid-transition settles its own books on restart, replaying a
recorded close and restoring an in-flight row it already owns a worker
for. It never reads or writes another home; the fleet snapshot and the
cross-home nudge stay as backstops.

Close records are validated before they are trusted: the file is read as
raw bytes and rejected outright when it carries a NUL or other control
byte, every field must be well formed and non-duplicated, the id must
match the record it was found under, the data location must resolve
inside this home, and each close argument must carry a permitted,
well-formed value. Writer and reader share one validator so a record
this home publishes always remains replayable, independent of locale.

Homes configured for a manual backlog, and homes with no backlog at all,
stay exempt and are unaffected.

* no-mistakes(review): Reject final-component lifecycle record symlinks

* no-mistakes(document): Document lifecycle record path boundaries

* no-mistakes(lint): Quote literal done tokens in atomicity tests

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed all PR-caused CI failures: bootstrap now treats an absent state directory as an empty fresh home while retaining unsafe-state checks; nested remote secondmate retirement accepts records already removed with the retired home; teardown fixtures now provide valid data/manual-backend configuration; and the manual reminder assertion checks the configured absolute backlog path. Verified the reported tests, remote lifecycle E2E, backlog atomicity suite, Bash syntax, diff checks, and ShellCheck. The documented pre-existing captain-hold failure was intentionally untouched

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed Behavior portable serial 3 by adding `od` to the teardown test’s lsof-free PATH fixture. The new close-record validator legitimately requires `od`; its omission caused teardown to fail before process-group cleanup and stall the shard. Verified the full `tests/fm-teardown.test.sh` suite passes, plus Bash syntax, ShellCheck, and `git diff --check`

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed close replay to durably retain incomplete-cleanup evidence before removing task metadata. Subsequent retries now emit the reconciliation warning even after a backlog probe or close failure. Updated the behavioral regression and verified the full atomicity suite under stock macOS Bash 3.2, plus shellcheck and diff checks

* fix(records): validate record bytes without an uncurated tool

The byte validation added for close records and directory paths shelled
out to od. The spawn and teardown lifecycle runs under a curated command
set that deliberately excludes it, so on any restricted PATH the check
could not run, the data directory read as unresolvable, and dispatch and
cleanup refused - wedging the lifecycle rather than protecting it.

An earlier attempt made the failing test pass by adding od to that
curated set. That fixed the test to agree with the defect and quietly
widened the contract the fixture exists to pin, so it is reverted here.

Inspect the bytes with perl instead, which is already in the curated set
and already used in this repo for the same portability reason. The
emitted values are identical to od's, so the rejection semantics are
unchanged: NUL and other control bytes are still refused, legitimate
paths containing spaces or non-ASCII characters still round-trip, and
the check stays independent of the process locale.

The restricted-PATH teardown case now passes because the validator no
longer needs od, not because the fixture was loosened.

* fix: publish promote and Relay meta rewrites through contained replace

Bare mv still rewrote live task records in place, so a symlink meta could

the shared publisher and drop the unused library aliases.

* fix(watch): absorb a turn-end whose pane churned since the previous poll

The watcher's "absorb a benign turn-end when the crew is provably working"
triage was structurally unreachable for any harness whose semantic busy state
has no verified source. crew_absorb_class only reports working for an actively
running no-mistakes step or an exact busy verdict, and bin/fm-crew-state.sh can
only answer unknown for such an adapter, so codex crewmates surfaced a signal
wake at every turn boundary with nothing to act on - a full supervisor drain,
inspect and acknowledge turn per worker turn, scaling with the number of workers
in flight and drowning the wakes that matter in identical noise.

Widen the proof rather than bound the wake rate. A wake carrying only bare
turn-ended markers is now also benign when the task's pane content changed since
the previous poll, compared against the same state/.hash-* marker the staleness
backbone already records and already trusts as liveness. That evidence claims no
harness semantics, so it fabricates no busy verdict an adapter has not earned,
and it needs no adapter cooperation.

Absorb stays evidence-driven in both directions. A wake naming any status file
keeps the strict proof, every captain-relevant verb still surfaces immediately,
and an unresolvable task, a missing prior hash, a failed or empty capture, or an
unchanged pane all surface exactly as before. The absorb defers rather than
swallows: a crew that has stopped renders nothing further, so its now-static pane
surfaces through the staleness backbone within a poll or two. Bounding the
surfacing rate instead would have suppressed genuinely stopped workers.

The derivation lives with the .hash-* marker format in bin/fm-watch.sh, which
owns it, and costs one bounded capture reached only for a no-verb turn-end whose
crew is not already provably working.

* no-mistakes(document): Document pane-churn turn-end evidence

* no-mistakes: apply CI fixes

* fix(watch): gate and bound the pane-churn turn-end absorb

Make the pane-churn form of positive work evidence opt-in per home and
bound how long it may defer one endpoint's bare turn-ends.

Absorbing a bare turn-end on pane churn is now reached only when the home
creates config/turnend-churn-absorb. The other two proofs read a verdict
the harness itself vouches for, while this one infers execution from
rendered bytes, so widening the absorb is a home's choice rather than a
default every fleet inherits. With the flag absent the predicate returns
on its first line and triage is unchanged.

Churn and pane staleness read the same pane, so neither can be the
other's only backstop. A pane that renders continuously never presents
the two consecutive identical hashes the staleness backbone needs, so an
unbounded churn absorb left a worker that had genuinely stopped behind
such a renderer with no path to surface at all. One endpoint's turn-ends
may now ride churn evidence for at most FM_TURNEND_CHURN_ABSORB_SECS,
tracked in state/.churn-since-*, after which the wake surfaces and the
window restarts. The bound is evaluated before any .stale- state is
touched, so a wake that surfaces there leaves the staleness backbone's
own classification alone.

Covers both with behavioral tests: the same churning fixture that absorbs
with the flag surfaces and queues without it, and a spent deferral window
surfaces and restarts. The four existing safety guards now run with the
flag enabled so they keep proving their specific guard.

* fix(bin): prioritize active pipeline-owned crew runs (kunchenguid#3194)

* fix(bin): bind the live pipeline-owned run instead of a superseded failed row

fm-crew-state.sh bound a superseded FAILED no-mistakes run to a task instead
of the LIVE replacement run: the live run's pipeline-owned lane head is not a
git object in the task worktree, so head-equality attribution rejected it and
the coarse runs-list fallback silently continued past the RUNNING row onto an
older failed row whose head equalled the stale worktree HEAD. The home summary
then flipped invalid and Bearings hid the home's live work (F10).

Attribution precedence now follows the daemon's own identity:
- An ACTIVE run for the task's branch binds without head equality while
  branch_sync.state is pipeline_owned (fm_nm_run_is_pipeline_owned_active);
  the pipeline owning the branch is itself the attribution.
- A genuinely failed run with no later run on the branch still reports failed
  through the unchanged head-equality path - real failures are not hidden.
- In the coarse runs scan, an unresolvable head is unknown attribution and
  stops the scan (fm_nm_head_resolvable) instead of falling through to an
  older row; a resolvable-but-mismatched head keeps the historical
  reused-branch skip.

The exemption never applies to a terminal run and requires pipeline_owned
specifically, both pinned by negative-control tests. Fixture shape verified
against the live incident run's real axi status output.

…o dedicated scripts (kunchenguid#3221)

* Add quota exhaustion detection and safe fallback helpers

- bin/fm-procevent-quota.sh: generic procevent adapter that arms a
  recurring quota-axi --json poll and wakes firstmate when a tracked
  provider's effectivePercentRemaining drops below a threshold or its
  runway.status becomes exhausted_now.
- bin/fm-quota-choose.sh: worker-side helper that picks the first ranked
  harness:model candidate with positive effectivePercentRemaining.
- AGENTS.md and .agents/skills/quota-array-dispatch/SKILL.md: document
  the new helpers and the mid-task quota-exhaustion wake path.
- tests/fm-quota-choose.test.sh: unit tests with a mocked quota-axi JSON
  source.

* fix(docs): restore default routing contract, keep quota helper optional

Restore the AGENTS.md section 4 always-loaded routing paragraph the PR
had deleted, so the standing TOON-first intake, spendPriority ranker,
every-candidate accounting, and load-trigger contract stay exactly as
before this PR. The mid-task quota wake is optional and must not alter
default routing.

Restore the quota-array-dispatch skill ownership line to section 4 as
the always-loaded intake boundary owner; keep the worker-side helper
section as an addition only, without rewiring ownership or load
triggers to section 13.

* fix(bin): use harness-keyed quota matching in optional helper

Revert fm-quota-choose.sh from harness:provider:model tuples back to
harness:model candidates with harness-keyed provider matching, per the
resolved ask-user finding. The helper is optional; authoritative
multi-provider routing (provider discovery from the harness catalog and
quota matching by that explicit provider) stays owned by AGENTS.md
section 4 and the quota-array-dispatch skill intake procedure, not the
helper.

Document the multi-provider limitation in the helper header and the
quota-array-dispatch skill: the helper maps each harness to one primary
provider family only, so a candidate whose established provider differs
from that primary family is checked against the wrong quota row. Use it
only when the brief fixed the candidate order and every candidate's
provider is the harness's primary family.

The helper still consumes one already-captured default-TOON or JSON
snapshot via stdin or --snapshot and never calls quota-axi itself, so
it selects from the same quota state as the intake.

Nine conflicts. Each was integrated so the fork keeps Atelier naming,
wedge-working deferral, and allow-no-ack drain tests, while absorbing
upstream's additive contracts. Nothing was dropped as incompatible.

- AGENTS.md: kept both watcher-internal globs. Fork's `.wedge-verified-*`
  (working-stale re-verify marker) plus upstream's `.churn-since-*`
  (opt-in turn-end pane-churn window).
- .agents/skills/process-event-sources/SKILL.md: kept Atelier command
  names and bearings-board routing; absorbed upstream's quota adapter
  help, register-extension / trusted-host pointers, generic
  `fm-procevent.sh classify` routing, and the structured `read`
  presentation command (named at the Atelier adapter).
- bin/fm-procevent-atelier.sh: rename conflict against upstream
  `fm-procevent-lavish.sh`. Kept Atelier / atelier-axi 0.3.3 (including
  the unused `--full` note). Absorbed upstream's `read` usage, command,
  and structured presentation; renamed leftover "Lavish" labels in that
  new command to Atelier. Recalculated `usage()` header bounds to 2-109.
- bin/fm-watch.sh: header-only conflict. Kept fork's
  `FM_WEDGE_WORKING_ESCALATE_SECS` re-verify deferral wording and
  absorbed upstream's absorb-only-on-positive-evidence plus
  `config/turnend-churn-absorb` as a third proof. The auto-merged body
  already implemented both.
- docs/architecture.md: kept the fork's working-stale re-examine
  explanation (`FM_STALE_ESCALATE_SECS` is re-check, not alarm;
  `wedge_escalation_deferred` owner). Folded upstream's "without
  positive evidence" phrasing into the actionable-wake sentence. Churn
  absorb already auto-merged later in the same section.
- docs/captain-hold-lifecycle.md: kept `fm-procevent-atelier.sh answers`;
  absorbed upstream's built-in-only keyed-answer feed and the trusted
  external adapter "no answer operation" boundary (kunchenguid#3247).
- docs/configuration.md: three hunks. (1) Kept atelier-axi as the AXI
  class-mate; absorbed kunchenguid#3322's refuse-lifecycle-mutation-until-compatible
  `tasks-axi` policy (matches auto-merged `fm-backlog-transition-lib.sh`).
  The fork's older "hand-edit until approved" sentence is superseded by
  that atomicity fix, not deleted as a separate feature. (2) Kept Atelier
  poll retry / `FM_ATELIER_POLL_RETRY_DELAY`; absorbed built-in vs
  external adapter routing. (3) Kept the Atelier silence shape; absorbed
  "for built-ins" because extensions do not feed keyed answers.
- docs/verification/process-event-sources.md: kept this tree's
  2026-08-11 Linux / atelier-axi 0.3.3 evidence rather than copying
  upstream's macOS lavish live dates as if this fork ran them. Added
  that `tests/fm-extension-binding.test.sh` covers kunchenguid#3247. Used
  upstream's "generic built-in keyed-answer feed" qualifier with Atelier
  silence wording.
- tests/fm-watcher-lock.test.sh: kept fork's `drain_and_ack` allow-no-ack
  (still used by cycle-ledger idle drains). Dropped
  `mark_pr_check_migration_complete` and its call sites: kunchenguid#3299 retired
  the migration machinery, and nothing in the merged watcher/bootstrap
  still consults those markers.

Leftover hunt after auto-merge:
- `tests/fm-procevent.test.sh` and `tests/fm-extension-binding.test.sh`
  still called `fm-procevent-lavish.sh` / `register lavish`. Pointed them
  at the fork's `atelier` built-in. No other lavish or
  `fm-pr-check-migrate` references remain in tracked files.
- `PR_CHECK_MIGRATION` remains only as a negative assertion in
  `tests/fm-pr-check-security.test.sh` that bootstrap no longer prints it.

Verification:
- `bin/fm-lint.sh --fast` clean (ShellCheck 0.11.0 pinned; actionlint
  1.7.12 pinned; 3 workflow files valid). Full extended analysis was too
  slow on this 106-file merge to finish locally; CI is skipped per the
  captain.
- Targeted tests under `umask 022`: fm-check-unregister, fm-quota-choose,
  fm-test-fixtures, fm-procevent-quota, fm-harness-adapter-references,
  fm-backlog-atomicity, fm-captain-hold-lifecycle, fm-procevent,
  fm-extension-binding, fm-watcher-lock, fm-watch-triage, fm-watch-arm.
  All passed.
- Environmental note, not a merge defect: this host's default umask 002
  makes `mkdir` produce mode 775, which the new extension/procevent
  private-mode checks refuse. The same tests pass with umask 022, matching
  typical CI. Did not change upstream tests to paper over that.

* fix(pr-merge): treat plan-gated 403 on branch rules as no merge queue (#42)

* fix(pr-merge): read a plan-gated 403 on branch rules as no merge queue

github_read_queue_method left status=unreadable for every failed rules
read, including a 403 whose body is GitHub's own "Upgrade to GitHub
Pro or make this repository public" message. A repository whose plan
cannot expose branch rules cannot have a merge_queue rule either, so
that specific 403 now resolves to status=none instead of unreadable -
unblocking the away-merge grant on private repos without GitHub Pro.
Any other failure (auth, rate limit, network, 404, unrelated 403)
still reads as unreadable.
