skills: refresh vendored mempalace snapshot a12fe5e -> e9e09d9, re-pin the canary
Folded into v1.8.13 at zero marginal cost: the snapshot is hashed into
base_tag, but Dockerfile.base already changed this release, so the ~67 min base
rebuild was already being paid. vendor-mempalace-skill.sh --check reported exit
0 (stale-but-truthful) beforehand, so skipping was sanctioned -- this is the
deliberate call the release checklist asks for. Upstream content: the bare
project-name wing convention and the <harness>@<device> added_by rule, both
downstream of the attribution defect measured on this device 2026-09-06.

The canary re-pin matters more than the refresh. Its old pair ("Provenance is
stamped for you" present / "Attribute what you file yourself" absent) still
PASSED against the new snapshot, so leaving it would have yielded a canary
green on both old and new bytes -- blind to exactly the refresh it exists to
witness, the same false-green family as the pre-v1.8.5 canary. New pair chosen
by measuring direction against both files rather than reading the diff
("Diaries self-heal; plain drawers do not" new=1/old=0; "Agent diaries live in"
new=0/old=1), then tested two-sided: PASS on refreshed bytes, FAIL on the old
bytes recovered from git.

Gates after the change: smoke-test.sh parses, vendor --check exit 0,
check-base-hash exit 0.

# pi-devbox — variant image
#
# FROMs a base-<hash> image produced by Dockerfile.base and adds only
# the variant-specific tools — currently just the pi install. Kept as a
# separate file (rather than collapsed into Dockerfile.base) so future
# variants (e.g. studio, studio-tex) can FROM the variant or extend
# this Dockerfile with additional build args without rebuilding the
# base on every pi version bump.
#
# Pass `--build-arg BASE_IMAGE=<repo>:base-<hash>` to select the base.
# CI computes the base hash from Dockerfile.base + rootfs/ +
# entrypoint*.sh and feeds it in.
#
# IMPORTANT: the base image sets NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX to
# /home/developer/.pi/npm-global so runtime `pi install npm:...` and
# `npm install -g` by the developer user lands on the named volume.
# At BUILD time we want the baked binaries on /usr so they survive the
# volume mount. Each `npm install -g` below therefore prefixes the
# command with `NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/usr`.

# ── pi version pin: an AUDITED CHECKPOINT, not a freeze ──────────────
# PI_VERSION is pinned to a version whose upstream CHANGELOG has been read
# against this image's integration surface: the theme/TUI API that pi-atelier
# couples to, the session `.jsonl` format that `pi-session-repair` parses, the
# extension/package loader, and the Node engine floor. CI reads THIS LINE as
# the single source of truth (see the `resolve-versions` job) and no longer
# follows npm `latest` — following it meant every release silently adopted
# whatever pi shipped that morning, unaudited, in the very build that then got
# tagged and published.
#
# BUMPING IS ROUTINE AND EXPECTED — the pin exists to force a look, not to
# hold a version forever:
# 1. Read the upstream CHANGELOG for every version between old and new.
# 2. Re-check the companions that couple to pi's private TUI/renderer
# internals — pi-atelier above all (see PI_ATELIER_REF below for the
# 0.6.0-under-pi-0.84 startup-hang precedent).
# 3. Bump this line, record the audit in CHANGELOG.md, then tag.
# CI fails the build if this pin is not a published npm version, and warns —
# without adopting it — when npm `latest` has moved ahead. That warning is the
# prompt to do step 1; it is not something to silence.
#
# A concrete version here ALSO defeats the registry-buildcache cache-hit
# footgun that `latest` carried: a byte-identical build-arg string produced an
# identical layer hash, so the cache reused the layer from whatever pi was
# current when it was first populated (shipped the same bytes for pi-devbox
# v0.74.0..v0.75.5; discovered + fixed in v0.75.5b, 2026-05-23). The `latest`
# branch below is kept only for a deliberate local `docker build` override.
#
# AUDITED AT 0.84.4 (2026-08-31, was 0.84.3): NO "Breaking Changes" and no
# "Removed" heading in the 0.84.4 section (grepped, 0 matches) — unlike 0.84.3,
# whose heading is described in the paragraph below and stays audited. Adopted
# for three fixes that land on machinery this fleet actually runs:
# - #6879 large tool results crossing the auto-compaction threshold were sent
# to the provider BEFORE compacting; pi now compacts between tool execution
# and the next assistant response in the same run. This is the shape of
# nearly every session here (multi-hundred-KB logstream/palace tool output).
# - #8345 a resumed session corrupted its next appended entry when the JSONL
# lacked a trailing newline. That file is the memory feeder's own input.
# Measured on tor-ms22 before the bump: 49/49 transcripts end in a newline,
# 0 lines fail json.loads — the bug had not bitten this corpus.
# - #8537 extension messages sent with `triggerTurn: false` WHILE THE AGENT IS
# RUNNING were inserted between a tool call and its result, so
# order-validating providers rejected the replayed history. The mempalace
# mailbox is outside that precondition — it delivers at `agent_settled`
# (idle) with `{deliverAs:"steer"}` and deliberately no `triggerTurn` — and
# 0.84.4 leaves the documented steer semantics unchanged, so RFC 003 §7.11
# still holds. Recorded because the fix is what would make a future mid-run
# delivery safe, which is the only reason we would ever change that call.
# One doc consequence, fixed in this same release: pi's own docs/compaction.md
# gained exactly one paragraph — the autoCompact threshold is now ALSO checked
# mid-run, after a tool batch's results are appended. See
# docs/observational-memory.md §3, which had said compaction is only checked
# when pi goes idle.
#
# AUDITED AT 0.84.3 (2026-08-25, was 0.84.2): upstream's notes carry a
# "Breaking Changes" heading — `GoogleThinkingLevel` renamed to
# `GoogleApiThinkingLevel`. INERT FOR THIS IMAGE: all four vendored companions
# (/opt/pi-fork, /opt/pi-observational-memory, /opt/pi-atelier, /opt/pi-studio)
# were grepped for that symbol and reference it ZERO times, so nothing here
# couples to the renamed type. Recorded because the heading will look alarming
# to the next reader doing step 1 above — the audit is done, don't redo it.
# Adopted for two fixes that land squarely on this repo's own vendored-skill
# wiring (see devbox-skill-reconcile, v1.8.5): nested Markdown skills inside
# `.agents/skills/<group>/` directories were not discovered, and root Markdown
# files such as README.md / AGENTS.md inside a skill dir were reported as
# broken skills unless they declared valid skill frontmatter.
#
# v1.8.13: 0.84.4 -> 0.85.1. SKIP 0.85.0 deliberately — it accidentally
# published internal experimental code and extra subpaths, breaking SDK
# imports (upstream #9132); 0.85.1 exists specifically to undo that, with the
# supported SDK and stdio RPC API unchanged. Audited: no Breaking/Removed
# changelog headings in either release, engine floor unchanged (>=22.19.0,
# container runs 22.23.2), runtime deps 20 -> 19. User-visible changes are the
# streaming indicator moving into the editor border and faster fullscreen
# transcript search; no deprecation language anywhere.
#
# Verified EMPIRICALLY rather than from the changelog, because a pi bump has
# hung the TUI before (pi-atelier < 0.7.1 + pi >= 0.84): 0.85.1 was
# side-installed and driven under a pty against all four companion extensions,
# with atelier v0.10.0 AND v0.10.1 — five combinations, each rendering alive
# with a CPU delta of 0.00-0.01s over a 5s window, where the known hang
# signature is ~5s of sustained CPU. Two-sided check: the atelier sidebar
# painted ACTIVITY+WORKSPACE identically to the 0.84.4 control, so the test

# pi-atelier (TUI sidebar: ordered panels, split-pane, themes) is PINNED TO A
# TAG, which CI resolves to that tag's commit SHA — same treatment as
# pi-studio, for reproducibility plus cache-busting.
#
# This floor is hard-earned. pi-atelier 0.6.0/0.7.0 wrapped pi's PRIVATE TUI
# renderer, and under pi 0.84 that wrapper recursed: pi hung at startup with
# sustained CPU. Upstream fixed the recursion in 0.7.1 and restored the
# non-overlapping split in 0.7.2 — "avoiding the recursive render path that
# caused startup hangs and sustained CPU usage". Its own peerDependencies
# still say `>=0.80.7`, which does NOT encode that floor, so nothing would
# have warned us: NEVER pair pi-atelier < 0.7.1 with pi >= 0.84. Bump this
# pin and PI_VERSION together, checking atelier's CHANGELOG for the pi
# version it claims to track.
#
# AUDITED AT v0.10.0 (2026-08-31, was v0.8.2 — two minor releases): no
# BREAKING notice in either release, and both are UI-only (Sidebar calm during
# an active Turn, composer frame + Status Rail, fullscreen-copy-safe Sidebar,
# Windows path normalisation, Workspace Pulse deferred until pi trusts the
# project). The one coupling that matters runs the OPPOSITE way to the floor
# above: v0.9.0 renders the Sidebar as a separate split-layout child and
# therefore "raises the minimum supported Pi version to 0.84.0", which its
# peerDependencies do encode this time (`>=0.84.0`, up from `>=0.80.7`).
# Satisfied with room to spare by PI_VERSION 0.84.4 above — and note that both
# executable floors (scripts/smoke-test.sh, scripts/recreate-sanity-check.sh)
# compare with `sort -V`, so 0.10.0 >= 0.7.1 is evaluated correctly rather than
# as the string comparison that would read 0.10.0 as older than 0.7.1.
# Pairs deliberately with pi 0.84.4's own fullscreen selection-copy controls:
# atelier keeps Sidebar content out of the transcript selection, pi adds
# `fullscreenCopyOnSelect` + Ctrl+X for the selection itself.
#
# No `npm install` step, unlike pi-fork/pi-observational-memory/pi-studio:
# pi-atelier declares ZERO runtime dependencies (only peerDeps, satisfied by
# the baked pi) and has no build step — pi loads its TypeScript directly from
# the /opt checkout. Adding an install here would be a no-op that only costs

# The vendored mempalace SKILL.md is the ONLY baked artefact with no /opt

# Consequence through v1.8.7: the snapshot was ANONYMOUS — nothing in the
# image or the repo recorded which skillset commit it was taken from, so
# the only staleness check available was a hand-maintained phrase canary in
# scripts/smoke-test.sh, which by construction can only detect "older than
# what I remembered to pin", never "older than skillset main".
#
# Recording the ref costs nothing and makes the question answerable. It is
# deliberately a plain ARG DEFAULT rather than a CI-resolved output:
# * the value is a fact about the committed snapshot, so it belongs in
# the tree next to it — not in a workflow that a local `docker build`
# never runs (same reasoning as MEMPALACE_VERSION living in
# Dockerfile.base rather than being duplicated in docker-publish.yml);
# * CI therefore needs NO new build-arg at any of its four
# Dockerfile.variant call sites (smoke, smoke-studio, build-variant,
# build-variant-studio) — a plumbing change that is easy to
# under-apply to only two of them;
# * and it needs no credential for a private repo.
# Bump it with scripts/vendor-mempalace-skill.sh, which refreshes the file
# and rewrites this line together, so the pair cannot drift apart by hand.
# This ARG lives in Dockerfile.variant ON PURPOSE: Dockerfile.base and
# rootfs/ are both hashed into base_tag, so recording provenance here costs
# no ~67-minute base rebuild. (scripts/check-base-hash.sh scans only
# Dockerfile.base, so no folding into the base hash is required — nor would
# it be correct, since this ARG changes nothing about the base's contents.)

# The manifest is written from GROUND TRUTH — the actual checked-out HEAD

# something other than the requested ref. pi-studio is present only in the

# mempalace CORE (the PyPI package behind the MCP tools) is installed in
# Dockerfile.base via `uv tool install`, so no /opt clone reveals it and
# until v1.8.6 the manifest could not answer "which palace shipped here?" —
# a palace bug could not be correlated to an image, which is precisely the
# correlation this file exists to provide. Read from the INSTALLED BINARY,
# not from ARG MEMPALACE_VERSION, per the ground-truth rule above: that is
# what catches an install which resolved to something other than the pin.
# `mempalace --version` prints "MemPalace 3.7.1" — NAME-PREFIXED, unlike
# pi's bare "0.84.2" — hence the $NF pick rather than a straight read. The
# leading-digit test then rejects usage/error text (a renamed flag prints a
# usage block) and degrades to JSON null, so this can never fail the build.

# The vendored skill snapshot's fingerprint is MEASURED here, not passed

# is a CLAIM about which skillset commit the file came from, while this
# hash is what the image actually ships. Recorded together they let any
# reader with the skillset checked out — which on this fleet is every
# host, since all four compose stacks mount it — verify the claim at
# RUNTIME, without CI ever needing access to the private repo. Degrades
# to JSON null rather than failing the build if the directory is absent;
# the smoke assertion is what turns that into a loud failure.
#
# Hashes the whole DIRECTORY, not just SKILL.md: a single-file hash
# answers "did this one file change", not "is the live copy the same
# skill" — a live checkout that added or edited a SIBLING file (a
# reference/ doc, a helper script) would still report "identical to
# baked snapshot" against a file-only hash. pi-extensions already ships
# two files for exactly this reason (SKILL.md + evaluate-extension-usage.py),
# so this is not a hypothetical. Deterministic over `find | sort`, never
# readdir order: relative paths + per-file sha256, folded into one hash.
# pi-devbox-version mirrors this exact pipeline over the live directory so
# the two sides are comparable — if you change this, change that too.
