* fix(skills): stop OS sidecars marking an untouched skill as modified Package identity compared a live user directory against a tree read from a clean checkout, so anything the OS deposited counted as drift. One Finder visit writes .DS_Store, which sorts before SKILL.md and misaligns the index-aligned snapshot comparison — the copy became 'unrecognized', was reported as "may be modified... Remove it", and left out of the update. Running the update could not clear it either: the updater compares its lock to the source and never reads disk, so it correctly reports "up to date" and writes nothing. Ignore OS-authored names on both sides of the comparison. The generator half is not hypothetical: a stray sidecar in a working tree made the committed artifacts read as stale, failing lint for that developer. Scoped to OS-authored names only. Tolerating unexpected files in general would let an injected payload ride along beside a clean SKILL.md; these are safe because an official SKILL.md never references them, so no agent can be routed into one. Mode bits are deliberately untouched — that would weaken identity for real scripts. * fix(skills): keep guarding a directory or link wearing an OS metadata name The name-only skip dropped any entry matching an OS metadata name, so a directory named .DS_Store or ._scripts took its whole subtree out of identity and a symlink wearing one stopped tripping the link guard — a skill hiding either read as pristine. The OS writes these as plain files only, so the entry type decides, still ahead of the case-fold map. Also compares both walkers over the same fixture: an asymmetric skip is worse than none, since one side would bake in content the other can never observe. * chore: ignore the OS metadata names skill identity already skips Both skill-identity walkers ignore these names, but .gitignore covered only .DS_Store and Thumbs.db — so a stray ._SKILL.md showed as untracked and `git add -A` could commit it. That is the one way the two walkers can disagree: the disk walker skips such a file while the git-tree producer (collectGitPackageFiles, used by the unreferenced --rebuild-from-tags path) does not, so a committed sidecar would make released history and observation describe different content. Ignoring them keeps that asymmetry unreachable rather than adding a second skip to the released-history path, which is load-bearing and provably never sees one today: no committed sidecar exists on any ref. Nothing tracked matches the new patterns. * chore: correct the skill-identity ignore comment The previous wording claimed these names cannot be committed, which overstates what .gitignore provides: `git add -f` and `git apply --index` both bypass it, so a cherry-pick, rebase or fork branch already carrying a sidecar is unaffected. That clause was load-bearing — it was the stated reason for leaving the released-history producer unhardened — so it should not read as a structural guarantee. Also fixes the producer count (three, not two: two disk walkers plus the git-tree producer, which does not skip) and says plain file, since the skip is isFile()-gated so a directory or link wearing the name is still walked. |
