The repo is maintained by agents from multiple vendors, so agent
instructions move out of vendor-specific locations into shared,
git-tracked markdown:
- AGENTS.md is the new entry point for any harness; CLAUDE.md becomes a
symlink to it (Claude Code keeps working unchanged).
- Skill bodies relocate to agent/: VERIFICATION.md (the enforcement
rules, ex .claude/skills/nomarchy), DELEGATION.md (capability tiers
light/standard/frontier, scout/runner role contracts, token economy,
parallel fan-out — consolidates the CLAUDE.md model table, LOOP.md's
economy section, and skill §6.5 into one place; vendor model names
survive only in the per-harness mapping table), THEME-DESIGN.md
(ex .claude/skills/theme, which previously lacked frontmatter).
- .claude/ shrinks to a thin Claude Code adapter: settings, subagent
defs, and skill shims that route into agent/.
- Maps updated: agent/README.md (instructions vs state vs adapters),
docs/README.md, README.md layout tree.
Cleanup: stale old_distro .gitignore entry dropped (dir long gone);
local result*/__pycache__ artifacts removed; JOURNAL.md rotated (29
recent entries kept, 120 older moved to agent/JOURNAL-ARCHIVE.md,
rotation rule documented in the header).
Verification: V0 (docs/meta only) — nix flake check --no-build exit 0
with the tracked symlink; grep sweep confirms no vendor model names
outside DELEGATION.md's mapping table.

First commit of .claude/skills/theme/SKILL.md (skills were un-ignored in
7d52d4b); content unchanged.

Add a "Fanning out worktree agents" subsection to §6.5: match model to
task (sonnet for spec'd work, opus for judgment), point briefs at the
backlog spec, disjoint file lanes, worktree isolation with the parent
owning landing, lean on scriptable checks as evidence, batch V2 in one
VM pass. First commit of the tracked skill (skills were un-ignored in
7d52d4b). MEMORY note updated: skills are now tracked.

A git add -A in 2a23e82 swept in .claude/skills/use-gemini/SKILL.md —
a Claude Code harness-injected tool doc, not part of the distro. Same
treatment as settings.local.json (db6a0ba): untracked + gitignored.

The things that actually break user machines, one command (and menu ›
System › Doctor): failed system/user units, disk space (real
filesystems only — fstype allowlist makes it VM/live safe, device
dedupe collapses / and /nix), theme-state.json parses + is
git-tracked, flake dirty/behind as warnings, generation age (profile
symlink mtime — store paths are epoch-1), snapper timeline when
enabled. Read-only by contract; every ✖ prints the one fixing command;
exit 1 on any problem. Ships as pkgs/nomarchy-doctor so the VM check
runs on a minimal node.
Verified: V1 package build (shellcheck-gated) + a real-hardware smoke
that correctly flagged a genuinely failed user unit on the dev box;
V2 green — checks.doctor VM test: induced failed unit flips the sheet
to exit-1 naming the unit and its fix, reset-failed returns healthy.
