fix(skill-feedback): strip HTML hint comments from WR field values (#9); layout-preserving docs copy (#12)

[rore]

Fixes #9 and #12.

#9 — State hint comment parsed into the state value

The Work Record parser's _extract_fields captures each field's value from its **Label:** header to the next header. For the last field (State) that runs to the end of the block, so the value swallowed the template's trailing allowed-values hint comment (<!-- Ready to implement | Blocked | Ready for review -->). .strip() trims whitespace, not comments, so workrecord.state_valid saw "Ready for review\n<!-- ... -->" and blocked a valid, template-copied record.

Fix: strip HTML comments from every field value in _extract_fields before .strip() (_HTML_COMMENT_RE = re.compile(r"<!--.*?-->", re.DOTALL)). Shared fix — repairs all fields, and lets consumers keep the template hints. Structural markers live outside the extracted block, so they're untouched. Covered by new routine- and expanded-shape parser tests.

#12 — dangling skill-feedback.md link in the generated docs tree

Bootstrap Phase 4.7 flattened templates/checkpoints/*.md into docs/agent-workflow/, dropping the checkpoints/ subdir. The copied review-result.md kept its ../skill-feedback.md link, which in the flattened tree pointed at a file that was never generated.

Fix: Phase 4.7 now copies templates/checkpoints/ preserving the subdir plus templates/skill-feedback.md as a sibling — mirroring the skill tree so the relative link resolves with no rewriting. (A flat copy would also have broken skill-feedback.md's own back-link to checkpoints/review-result.md.)

Workflow

• Work Record: .agent-workflow/tasks/skill-feedback-9-12.md (Elevated / Moderate).
• Clean-context plan review: SOUND-WITH-ADJUSTMENTS; both adjustments (inbound-link audit, explicit Phase 4.7 source paths) cleared.
• Budget: bootstrap-mode.md ceiling 4500→4600 (documented).
• tests/run-all.sh: all 9 layers green.
• Regenerated dist/ + committed skill mirror.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Work Record values no longer include HTML hint comments, preventing validation issues and ensuring cleaner field content.
  • Expanded and routine records now parse consistently with clean state and risk values.

• Documentation

  • Bootstrap documentation now preserves checkpoint folders and keeps skill-feedback links working through the expected layout.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for comment removal and expanded-record parsing.
  • Confirmed the full test suite passes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Work Record parsing now removes HTML hint comments before validation. Bootstrap mode now preserves the checkpoints/ directory and skill-feedback.md sibling layout. Tests, budget metadata, manifests, and validation records were updated.

Changes

Work Record parsing and bootstrap corrections

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Strip template comments from Work Record fields core/work_record/parser.py, .claude/skills/agent-workflow/scripts/agent-workflow-check.py, tests/work-record/test_parser.py	Field extraction removes HTML comments before trimming. Tests cover routine and expanded records, including clean state and risk values.
Preserve bootstrap documentation layout core/skill/bootstrap-mode.md, .claude/skills/agent-workflow/bootstrap-mode.md, tests/budget/budget.yaml	Phase 4.7 copies the complete checkpoints/ directory and sibling skill-feedback.md. The token ceiling increases from 4500 to 4600.
Update mirrors and validation records .claude/skills/agent-workflow/manifest.txt, .agent-workflow/tasks/skill-feedback-9-12.md	Manifest file sizes and implementation, review, and validation records are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8cead

The parser and documentation fixes are localized and the reported test suite is green, but the Work Record's direct checker validation is not yet recorded. The change is mergeable with owner awareness or a follow-up to run and document that check.
