Docs-only (plus one test docstring). The Project Manager archetype's first-run path — docs/guides/build-with-a-coding-agent.md and the pages around it — now describes what actually ships, including the behavior landing in #2977 (required-input gate, copied delegate, managed-project registration, report_setup_gap) and #2978 (PM preset rules). Those two PRs updated docs/guides/bundles.md, docs/guides/plugins.md, ADR 0040, and the template bundle; this PR builds on them and doesn't duplicate them.

Review note — #2977 / #2978 are OPEN. This PR cites their behavior as "core ≥ 0.146 (#2977)". Hold this one until they merge, or drop the version claims if they change.

What changed, by file

  • docs/guides/build-with-a-coding-agent.md
    • Before you start now lists the host binaries the Configure step can't install: the coder (gates the create), br (cargo install beads_rust, NOT Homebrew bd; quotes the board's exact refusal text), git/gh (gh auth login; the GitHub rail's auth precedence, noting the Settings ▸ GitHub token field is github-plugin 0.6.0 — in flight). PATH reconciled with coding-agents.md: the desktop build passes the login-shell PATH; an absolute command is the safe fallback for launchd/systemd/odd shells. Says what the console shows when each is missing (dropdown text, Board setup card / red callout, and the #2977 report_setup_gap warning banner once a board release adopts the seam — v0.41.4 doesn't yet).
    • Configure table lists five fields (adds the auto_merge toggle, default on); the coder dropdown lists acp delegates only and reads No coding (acp) delegates configured; the two required fields are a hard gate (create → 400 + cleanup; host install refuses to activate) — the old "create it anyway" paragraph is gone.
    • What the create does with your answers (#2977): picked delegate + secrets copied into the member's registry (one-time snapshot; an unknown picked name refuses the create); the repo registered as an ADR 0095 managed project (GitHub slug from origin; write follows onboarding.write_default; a non-empty projects: IS the fs fence) with onboarding seeded only when no onboarding: exists and a remote was parsed, scoped to exactly the typed repo (root: <parent>, allow: [github.com/<owner>/<name>]). Mirrors the canonical wording in docs/guides/bundles.md and links to it. Honest caveat: this rides project: true on the bundle's repo input, which archetype v0.5.0 doesn't flag yet — until then add the projects: entry yourself (replaces the hand-written instruction).
    • CLI path: the PM example with --input project_board.repo=… --input project_board.coder=… --soul config/soul-presets/project-manager.md (#2977's new flags); required prompts must be answered or the create is refused, malformed --input is a usage error, the delegate answer is copied from the host config without the host model, and without --soul the workspace has no persona (and the CLI never records the capability contract). The POST /api/fleet body and the resulting YAML follow for reference.
    • §2: the absolute-path rule rewritten as above; propose_delegate works from any running agent; the copied entry is verbatim, so fix the path on the host first.
    • §3: merging is the archetype's default (auto_merge: true, fifth field; the bare plugin defaults off); off = a human merges; ties to the #2978 rule that auto_merge is the authorization for the board's own reviewed PRs.
    • Capability-contract banner: fires only for fleet members (the record lives on workspace.yaml); a wizard-installed host PM never shows it — check Settings ▸ Capabilities ▸ Tools instead.
    • §6: the three #2978 preset rules + ground-first-through-the-registry + "absent list_agents is the empty bench".
  • docs/tutorials/first-agent.md — step 2 names the five fields, that repo + coder are required, and that the create is refused until an acp coder is picked.
  • docs/guides/delegates.md — new section Let the agent propose one (propose_delegate): validate → probe → park for approval; registers even on an empty roster; explicit approve only; autonomous turns fail closed; core ≥ 0.145 (#2953).
  • docs/reference/starter-tools.md — the delegates row documents list_agents and propose_delegate (binds always).
  • docs/reference/configuration.mdprojects section notes the Configure-step registration (#2977), the write_default / fence consequence, and the allow-scoped onboarding seed rule.
  • docs/guides/fleet.md — archetype list matches the catalog's archetypes array (Basic, Cowork, Design System Engineer, Project Manager, Custom; Social Marketing is in held:); quick-start shows the PM archetype with --input/--soul; the usage line gains [--input KEY=VALUE …] [--soul FILE] with the no-persona / no-host-model caveats.
  • README.md — drops Social Marketing from the wizard's archetype list.
  • ADR amendment notes (decision text untouched; blockquote/italic note at the first occurrence, the house style of 0027/0042/0058): 0041, 0042, 0049, 0055, 0064, 0072, 0078, 0083, plus the 0083 row in docs/adr/index.md.
    • Correction to the brief: per the #2895 rename map, pm-stackportfolio-manager-archetype (GitHub redirects pm-stack there), not project-manager-archetype; the single-repo PM ships from project-manager-archetype. portfolio-plugin is still the live plugin repo (not renamed) and is left as-is; leadEngineer is noted as the reference host fork, not a published archetype; cowork-stackcowork-archetype.
  • docs/dev/version-coherence.md, docs/plans/codified-delivery-loop.md — stale names annotated/updated in place (M7 now names project-manager-archetype; naming note at the top of the plan).
  • tests/test_bundled_config_assets.py — docstring cites the config_inputs feature as #2934 (shipped by PR #2938) instead of #2938 alone. No behavior change.

Follow-ups surfaced (not in this PR)

  • project-manager-archetype needs project: true on its project_board.repo input for #2977's managed-project registration to fire (v0.5.0 predates the flag).
  • projectBoard-plugin doesn't call registry.report_setup_gap yet — the br / coder / gh banner is a seam without a caller until it does.

…y errors

- resolve_gh(): shutil.which first, then /opt/homebrew/bin, /usr/local/bin,
  ~/.local/bin, /usr/bin (a desktop build launched without a shell PATH still
  finds a brew/apt gh); cached per process, re-resolved on a stale path.
- set_token_getter(): the plugin's github.token secret is injected into every
  gh run as GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN, winning over an ambient env token; read
  live so a token pasted in Settings works without a restart.
- check_gh_error() now CLASSIFIES: gh exit 4 / 'gh auth login' stderr → not
  authenticated (with the fix); GraphQL could-not-resolve / HTTP 404 → repo
  not found; 403/429 + rate limit → rate limit hit (retry-after when gh says);
  binary missing → not installed (looked in …). Everything else keeps the
  'Error (gh exit N): …' shape existing callers match on.
- parse_json()/dicts(): the one place a gh JSON body is type-checked, so a
  dict-for-a-file / bare scalar can never AttributeError through a tool.

…d default_repo error (#23)

- resolve_repo() accepts a zero-arg getter for the default (evaluated only
  when no explicit repo was passed) so the tools / /issue read the LIVE
  config instead of a register-time snapshot — an onboard_project or a
  Settings edit mid-session is seen by the next call.
- default_repo_error(): a malformed github.default_repo (not owner/name) is
  a NAMED error — in /issue, the routes and the views — never fed to gh.
  Closes #23.
- projects.py: last-resort repo source — parse the origin remote of every
  registry project path (those without a github: binding first) and of
  project_board.repo (skipping the board's '.' sentinel) into owner/name;
  HTTPS/SSH/scp shapes, github.com-anchored, cached per path for a minute.
  Picker order: explicit → registry bindings → remotes, deduped.
- The GITHUB_DEFAULT_REPO / GH_REPO env fallback stays (a test depends on
  it) but is logged at INFO whenever it decides the repo — never silent.
- gh_issue.py docstring: '/issue is the user-only chat path; the
  github_create_issue agent tool exists behind github.write' (the old
  'deliberately NOT an agent tool' was false since write_tools shipped).

…ere, github_status, docstring truth

- github_repo_contents: the contents API returns a dict for a FILE; iterating
  it raised AttributeError through the tool layer and killed the agent's turn.
  Now: "Error: '<path>' is a file, not a directory — use github_read_file".
- Every gh JSON body goes through parse_json()/dicts() (get_pr/get_issue/
  list_issues/ci_runs/review guards) — a list, scalar, null row or garbage is
  an Error string, not an exception. The sweep found get_pr and list_issues
  raising on the wrong JSON type too.
- New read tool github_status (always on, no write gate): one paragraph —
  gh installed? authenticated? as whom? which default repo? — so the model
  self-diagnoses instead of guessing from stderr.
- tests/test_no_raise_sweep.py: enumerates EVERY tool register() produces
  (read+write+review, 23) and invokes each against a run_gh stub returning
  dict / list / list-of-nulls / empty / garbage / number / string / error /
  auth / not-found / missing-binary / timeout, asserting a str comes back.
  Plus a real missing-binary pass through run_gh itself. The arg table must
  match the registered set, so a new tool can't dodge the sweep.
- Docstring truth: github_read_file's description (what the model sees) no
  longer carries 'TODO(team): implement via …'; the 'STUBBED' module/section
  comments are gone; factories accept a getter for the default repo.
- check_gh_error(..., repo=) everywhere so a 404 names the repo.

…robe, live config wiring

- status.py: compute_status() probes gh --version + gh auth status --json
  hosts (text fallback for an older gh) → {gh_path, gh_version,
  authenticated, login, host, token_source, error, default_repo, repos};
  the ACTIVE account decides; bounded timeout; never raises.
  summarize_status() is the github_status tool's paragraph; gaps_for() /
  report_gaps() push 'gh' / 'auth' messages to the host's report_setup_gap
  seam (guarded — no seam, no-op) and clear them when healthy;
  probe_in_background() runs that off the register() hot path in a daemon
  thread, only when the seam exists.
- GET /api/plugins/github/status (gated data router) — plus
  default_repo_error. resolve_config() is the ONE picker/default computation
  shared by /config, /status and POST /issue: a malformed default_repo is
  named, kept out of the picker, and the default falls through (#23).
- view.py: a shared setup card (_SETUP_CSS/_SETUP_JS spliced into BOTH
  pages) rendered from /status inside the kit boot only (post-handshake):
  gh missing → install + sign-in copy; not signed in → gh auth login or
  paste a token in Settings ▸ GitHub (github.token); malformed default repo
  → the named error; a Re-check button. The existing 'No repositories
  configured' state stays (and the new-issue form now says it too).
- __init__.py: everything closes over LIVE getters (registry.live_config,
  else the snapshot) — the tools' default repo, the picker, /issue, the data
  router, and the github.token secret via set_token_getter; the setup probe
  starts when the host has the seam.

… the code, release recipe

- protoagent.plugin.yaml: version 0.6.0; secrets: [token] + the Settings
  field 'GitHub token (PAT) — optional; gh auth login also works'; the auth
  precedence and repo-resolution comments match gh_cli.py / projects.py.
- pyproject.toml: 0.6.0 (test_version.py lockstep).
- ruff==0.15.10 pinned in requirements-dev.txt and installed from there in
  ci.yml (the protoAgent core / projectBoard pin) — a floating ruff fails
  format --check on correctly-formatted code.
- README: the real tool inventory — 11 read / 8 write / 3 review, all live
  (was 8/3 with five 'stubbed'); auth precedence; repo sources; the setup card.
- PROTO.md: §3 file map (status.py, projects.py, review_tools.py), §4 '/issue
  is the user-only chat path; github_create_issue exists behind github.write'
  + the live-config rule, §5 inventory + error classification + first-run
  status + the no-raise sweep, §6 never-raise rule, NEW §7 release recipe
  (tag -a / push / gh release create; no CHANGELOG — the PR body is it).
- CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md pointers no longer mention 'the stubs'.

…be, gh-native token precedence, no-raise spawn, off-loop picker

Adversarial review of #27, all items:

BLOCKERS
1. resolve_gh() caches only a HIT; a miss is re-resolved every call, and
   compute_status() drops the cache first — so Re-check (and the next tool)
   sees gh installed after boot, and sees it removed. gh_available() now
   uses the same resolver (it disagreed with the tools before). Tests cover
   absent→installed and installed→removed.
2. compute_and_report(): /status AND the github_status tool now report to
   report_setup_gap (edge-triggered — failing key gets its message, passing
   key gets None) so the host banner clears on the very request that sees
   the recovery. build_data_router(cfg, registry=) and
   get_read_tools(..., registry=) carry the registry; register() passes it.

MINORS
3. Token precedence matches gh: only a non-empty config token is injected
   (GH_TOKEN + GITHUB_TOKEN); otherwise the env passes through untouched so
   gh's own GH_TOKEN > GITHUB_TOKEN > keyring applies. resolve_token()/
   token_source() check GH_TOKEN first. Manifest/README/PROTO wording.
4. run_gh(): trailing  → (126, '', 'could not run gh at …')
   (ENOEXEC/EMFILE), contextlib.suppress(ProcessLookupError) around kill().
   Sweep extended: every tool × {ENOEXEC, EMFILE, kill-after-exit}.
5. effective_default_repo() takes the picker as a GETTER and short-circuits
   when default_repo is set (no git fork on the configured path); the data
   routes and github_status resolve via asyncio.to_thread; the probe thread
   primes the remote cache; TTL 60s → 10min. Tests assert the picker is
   never computed with a default set, and that routes resolve off-loop.
6. auth_hint(token_source) — a rejected env/config token says 'fix/unset it'
   / 'replace it in Settings ▸ GitHub', not 'run gh auth login'. Used by the
   classified error, the summary, the gaps, and the views' card. The gh
   401 body is trimmed to its status line.
7. Tool counts: 12 read / 8 write / 3 review = 23 everywhere.

NITS
- github_path_exists classifies FIRST (error_kind): auth/rate-limit/missing
  binary are UNVERIFIED errors, never a MISSING verdict; the 404 wording
  names the inaccessible-repo case.
- README/PROTO state #23's named error is on the plugin's GET /config + the
  card (on read), not on Settings save.
- gaps_for caps the why fragment at 80 chars so the host's ~300-char banner
  keeps the hint.
- conftest: an autouse fixture clears GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN, the token
  getter and the gh cache per test, so a dev box's ambient token can't skew
  hint assertions.

QA panel review — PASS

code-review-structural · head 2e54593bb704 · formal

No line-by-line review of PR #27 has actually happened yet, so there is no risk assessment to give and no findings to report — this round was consumed by a false premise, not a code review. The panel's finders all reported that the PR/head SHA could not be resolved and treated this as a full coverage gap; the verifier independently tested that claim and refuted it: github_pr_diff(repo="protoLabsAI/github-plugin", number=27) succeeds and returns a large, coherent diff (ci.yml, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, PROTO.md, status.py/projects.py/review_tools.py, etc.). The only part of the finders' report that holds up is that github_read_file/github_read_pr_file 404 at the pinned head SHA — a narrower tool/environment quirk, not evidence the PR doesn't exist.

Fix-first item: re-run this review using github_pr_diff by PR number as the primary read path (falling back to the diff content itself, or retrying without a pinned ref, for any file-level lookups) so the actual diff — which touches CI config, docs, and several new tool modules — gets read at all.

What the panel disagreed on: nothing substantive, since no finder produced real findings; the entire round was a shared, apparently environment-caused failure to fetch the PR, which the verifier caught and reversed.

Gap: this remains a full coverage gap on the actual PR #27 changes — not because the PR is unreachable (it isn't) but because no finder has yet performed the read/analysis. Flagging explicitly per the instructions: this is a heavily-changed, entirely un-reviewed diff and should be re-run before merge.

No findings — the review came back clean.
