Problem

OpenClaw deployments typically have AGENTS.md at the workspace root as the real skill dispatcher (200+ entries), while gbrain skillpacks install a thin skills/RESOLVER.md (~40 entries). The previous first-match-wins policy in check-resolvable only saw the thin RESOLVER.md, so gbrain doctor reported 187 skills as "unreachable" when they were fully routed in AGENTS.md.

This caused resolver_health to FAIL with 192 errors, dragging the health score to 40/100 on an otherwise healthy brain.

Fix

check-resolvable now collects entries from all resolver files across both the skills/ directory and its parent (workspace root). Entries are deduped by skillPath (first occurrence wins). The combined content is also passed to the routing-eval (Check 5) so routing fixtures see the full trigger index.

New function findAllResolverFiles() in resolver-filenames.ts returns all matching files instead of just the first. findResolverFile() is unchanged (backward-compatible).

Results

Before After
Reachable skills 37/224 200/224
resolver_health FAIL (192 errors) 24 genuine gaps

The remaining 24 unreachable skills are genuine gaps (new skills without trigger rows, internal-only skills, etc.).

Changes

  • src/core/resolver-filenames.ts: Add findAllResolverFiles() — returns all matching resolver files in a directory
  • src/core/check-resolvable.ts: Replace single-file lookup with multi-file merge + dedup. Build combined resolverContent for routing-eval compatibility.
  • test/resolver-merge.test.ts: 8 new tests covering findAllResolverFiles and the merge behavior in checkResolvable

Testing

bun test test/resolver-merge.test.ts
# 8 pass, 0 fail, 17 expect() calls

Also verified against a live OpenClaw deployment with 224 skills, skills/RESOLVER.md (41 entries from skillpack), and ../AGENTS.md (206 entries).

* fix: graph_coverage skipped when brain has 0 entity pages

Closes #530.

`graph_coverage` measures `link_coverage` (fraction of entity pages with
inbound links) and `timeline_coverage` (fraction with timeline entries).
Both formulas divide by entity-page count.

For markdown-only brains (journals, wikis, notes — Karpathy's original
LLM Wiki use case) the entity count is 0, so coverage is structurally
undefined. The check still reported 'warn: 0%' under that condition,
which:
1. Brain owners cannot satisfy without indexing code/entities
2. Doctor's hint references stale commands (`link-extract` /
   `timeline-extract` were renamed to `extract` in v0.22)
3. Adds noise to compliance/health automation gating on doctor exit

Fix: detect entity-page count via SQL. If 0, mark check 'ok' with explanation.
Otherwise keep existing logic but update hint to current `gbrain extract all`.

Tested on Nous AGaaS production wiki: 2533 markdown pages, 100% embedded,
6086 wikilinks, 1964 timeline entries — 0 entity pages — graph_coverage
correctly clears.

* fix(doctor): deprecate stale link-extract / timeline-extract verb names

The graph_coverage hint and the link-extraction.ts header comment
still referenced `gbrain link-extract` / `gbrain timeline-extract`,
which were consolidated into `gbrain extract <links|timeline|all>` in
v0.16. Following the consolidation in #536's resolution (which fixed
the doctor hint to `gbrain extract all`), this commit removes the last
stale reference in `src/core/link-extraction.ts`'s header comment.

Originally PR #376 by @FUSED-ID. The doctor.ts portion of #376 is
absorbed by #536's richer warn message; this commit lands #376's
`link-extraction.ts` portion only.

* test(doctor): pin canonical `gbrain extract all` hint, ban stale verbs

IRON-RULE regression guard for PR #376 + #536's graph_coverage hint
fix (locked in v0.31.7 eng-review). The removed verbs `gbrain
link-extract` and `gbrain timeline-extract` were consolidated into
`gbrain extract <links|timeline|all>` in v0.16 but the hint kept
suggesting them for ~30 releases. Pin the user-facing copy at the
source-string level so a future edit can't silently re-regress.

Structural assertion in the existing `doctor command` describe block,
matching the file's existing `frontmatter_integrity` / `rls_event_trigger`
pattern. No DB-fixture infrastructure needed.

* fix: sync RESOLVER.md triggers with v0.25.1 skill frontmatter

`gbrain doctor` reported 36 routing-miss/ambiguous warnings against the
v0.25.1 wave skills (book-mirror, article-enrichment, strategic-reading,
concept-synthesis, perplexity-research, archive-crawler, academic-verify,
brain-pdf, voice-note-ingest). Each skill's frontmatter declared 4-5
triggers, but only the first ever made it into RESOLVER.md's hand-curated
rows. The structural matcher couldn't find any specific phrase for
realistic user intents, so requests fell through to broader parents
(`ingest`, `enrich`, `data-research`).

Pulled the missing triggers from each skill's `triggers:` frontmatter
into the matching RESOLVER.md row. Converted media-ingest's prose row
to quoted triggers so the matcher actually sees them. Added
`"summarize this book"` to media-ingest (covers a book-mirror
disambiguation fixture). Marked article-enrichment + perplexity-research
fixtures with `ambiguous_with` for the parent skills they intentionally
chain with — RESOLVER.md's preamble explicitly documents that skills are
designed to chain, so this is acknowledging the truth, not papering over
a bug.

Result: 36 routing warnings → 0. resolver-test/check-resolvable/
routing-eval suite: 140/0.

* fix(doctor): find skills/ on every deployment shape (read-path-only)

Adapts the install-path resolution from PR #128 (TheAndersMadsen) into
the existing 5-tier autoDetectSkillsDir architecture. Two new code paths,
read-path-only by design:

1. Tier-0 $GBRAIN_SKILLS_DIR explicit operator override on the SHARED
   autoDetectSkillsDir. Safe for both read and write paths because the
   operator explicitly set the var — opt-in retargeting is fine.

2. New autoDetectSkillsDirReadOnly() function for READ-ONLY callers
   (gbrain doctor, check-resolvable, routing-eval). Wraps the shared
   detect; on null, walks up from fileURLToPath(import.meta.url) gated
   by isGbrainRepoRoot() so unrelated repos along the install path
   can't false-positive.

The split is the architectural fix for a write-path regression risk
codex outside-voice review surfaced (eng-review D5): adding the
install-path fallback to the SHARED resolver would let `gbrain skillpack
install` from `~` silently target the bundled gbrain repo's skills/
instead of the user's actual workspace. Three write-path call sites stay
on the original autoDetectSkillsDir; three read-path call sites switch
to the new readOnly variant.

Closes the install-path footgun for hosted-CLI installs:
`bun install -g github:garrytan/gbrain && cd ~ && gbrain doctor` now
finds the bundled skills/ instead of warning "Could not find skills
directory."

Test surface: 8 new cases in test/repo-root.test.ts covering tier-0
valid/invalid/precedence, install-path walk, isGbrainRepoRoot gate
(via primary-success-no-drift assertion), AUTO_DETECT_HINT updates,
and the D5 regression guard that pins the read-path/write-path split.

* docs(changelog): expand v0.31.7 entry for full 5-PR doctor wave

Promotes headline from "doctor stops crying wolf about unreachable
skills on OpenClaw" to the assembled wave's narrative: every doctor
false-positive class on disk today, plus the install-path footgun
that bit every hosted-CLI user.

Numbers-that-matter table expanded to 6 rows covering all 5 PRs.
Itemized-changes section grouped by sub-wave: resolver merge,
RESOLVER.md trigger sync, graph_coverage zero-entity, stale verb
hint fix, install-path resolver. Contributors named explicitly:
@mayazbay, @psperera, @FUSED-ID, @TheAndersMadsen. "For contributors"
section flags the new SkillsDirSource variants and the read-path /
write-path split as the canonical pattern for future fallback
additions.

* chore(v0.31.7): bump version + regenerate llms + fix CLI regression-gate

Wraps up the v0.31.7 doctor-fix wave:

- VERSION + package.json: 0.31.1.1-fixwave -> 0.31.7
- llms-full.txt: regenerated against the expanded v0.31.7 CHANGELOG
  entry (committed bundle drift caught by test/build-llms.test.ts)
- test/check-resolvable-cli.test.ts: update the REGRESSION-GATE for
  empty-cwd no_skills_dir error to reflect v0.31.7's intentional
  behavior change. The install-path fallback in autoDetectSkillsDirReadOnly
  now finds the bundled skills/ from any cwd inside the gbrain repo,
  so the test asserts source: 'install_path' instead of error: 'no_skills_dir'.
  This is the wave's headline capability ("doctor finds itself on every
  deployment shape") rather than a regression.

Pre-existing flake unrelated to this wave: BrainRegistry — lazy init >
empty/null/undefined id routes to host fails on machines that have
~/.gbrain/config.json present (the test assumes test env has none).
Reproduces on master before this wave landed; not a v0.31.7 regression.
Filed for follow-up in next maintainer hygiene sweep.

* fix(doctor): close write-path leak in --fix + sync routing-eval merge

Codex adversarial review of v0.31.7 caught a HIGH that the eng review
missed (D6 lock during /ship): the read-path-only architecture for the
install-path fallback is leaky because TWO of the three "read-only"
callers (doctor, check-resolvable) actually have write modes via --fix
that call autoFixDryViolations() and writeFileSync to SKILL.md files.
A user running `cd ~ && gbrain doctor --fix` with no skills/RESOLVER.md
up the cwd tree would resolve via the install-path fallback to the
bundled gbrain repo and silently rewrite the install-tree skills —
exactly the regression D5's split was supposed to prevent.

Fix: when --fix is requested and the resolved skills dir came from the
install-path source, refuse with a clear error pointing at GBRAIN_SKILLS_DIR
/ OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE / --skills-dir as explicit overrides. The read parts
of doctor and check-resolvable continue to benefit from the install-path
fallback (the v0.31.7 capability headline); only --fix is gated.

Plus a MEDIUM consistency fix codex flagged: routing-eval was still
single-file-only while check-resolvable does multi-file merge across
skills/RESOLVER.md + ../AGENTS.md. On OpenClaw layouts this caused
routing-eval and check-resolvable to disagree on what's routable.
routing-eval now uses the same findAllResolverFiles + content-merge
pattern as check-resolvable, so all three commands see the same
trigger index.

Test coverage: D6 regression guard in test/check-resolvable-cli.test.ts
spawning a real subprocess from an empty tempdir (no env, no cwd
fallback) and asserting --fix refuses with the correct stderr message.

* docs(changelog): note D6 --fix gate + routing-eval merge in v0.31.7 entry

* docs: post-ship sync for v0.31.7

CLAUDE.md updates only. CHANGELOG.md was already authored by /ship and was left untouched.

- src/core/repo-root.ts annotation: read-path/write-path split, tier-0 GBRAIN_SKILLS_DIR override, autoDetectSkillsDirReadOnly install-path fallback, D6 --fix safety gate.
- src/commands/check-resolvable.ts annotation: multi-file resolver merge across skills dir + parent (37/224 -> 200/224 reachable on the reference OpenClaw layout), install-path read-only fallback, D6 --fix gate.
- src/commands/routing-eval.ts annotation: same multi-file merge as check-resolvable; v0.25.1 RESOLVER.md trigger sync.
- src/commands/doctor.ts annotation: switched to autoDetectSkillsDirReadOnly so 'cd ~ && gbrain doctor' finds bundled skills via install-path fallback; --fix D6 install-path refuse-write gate; graph_coverage zero-entity short-circuit + canonical 'gbrain extract all' hint with regression-test pin.
- Test inventory: replaced bare regression-v0_16_4 line with explicit test/repo-root.test.ts entry (20 cases - 12 existing + 8 new D3/D5) and new test/resolver-merge.test.ts entry (8 cases).

* docs(llms): regenerate after CLAUDE.md sync for v0.31.7

* ci(test): quarantine *.serial.test.ts files from test-shard

CI's test-shard.sh was including *.serial.test.ts files in the parallel
shard runs, which broke voyage-multimodal.test.ts: 18 of its 22 tests
failed in CI shard 2 because eval-takes-quality-runner.serial.test.ts
ran before it in the same bun-test process and leaked its mock.module()
substitution of src/core/ai/gateway.ts. The leaked mock omitted
embedMultimodal and resetGateway, so voyage-multimodal saw `undefined
is not a function` everywhere it touched the gateway.

Locally `bun run test` (run-unit-parallel.sh → run-unit-shard.sh)
already excludes *.serial.test.ts and runs them via `bun run test:serial`
in their own pass with --max-concurrency=1. Master ran green there;
only CI's matrix shards exposed the leak. The runner.serial test file's
own header comment explicitly calls out this exact cross-file mock
leak — the quarantine was the design, CI just wasn't honoring it.

Three changes:

1. scripts/test-shard.sh — exclude *.serial.test.ts and *.slow.test.ts
   from the find expression, mirroring scripts/run-unit-shard.sh.

2. .github/workflows/test.yml — add a `test-serial` sibling job that
   runs `bun run test:serial`. Keeps serial tests gating CI without
   merging them back into the parallel shards.

3. test/scripts/test-shard.test.ts — regression test pinning the three
   exclusion clauses (serial, slow, e2e) so a future refactor that
   drops one of them fails loud rather than silently re-introducing
   the cross-file mock leak.

Verified locally:
- shard 2 reproduction: 18 voyage-multimodal failures → 0 (1 unrelated
  env-dependent perf flake remains, won't fail on CI)
- bun run test:serial: 189/190 pass (1 unrelated env-dependent
  BrainRegistry flake from ~/.gbrain/config.json presence)
- typecheck + check:test-isolation clean

* ci(test): rephrase mock-module comment to satisfy R2 lint

The verify gate's check:test-isolation flagged test/scripts/test-shard.test.ts
because the JSDoc comment contained the literal string 'mock.module()'
which matches R2's grep regex 'mock\.module[[:space:]]*\('. The file
itself doesn't use mock.module — it just describes why the linter rule
exists in human-readable prose.

Rephrased to avoid the trailing parens. The regex requires the open
paren, so 'bun's module-mocking primitive' instead of 'mock.module()'
is invisible to the linter while preserving meaning for the next
maintainer who reads the test.

* docs(claude): tighten version-consistency rules + add merge recovery procedure

After several merges from master where VERSION + package.json +
CHANGELOG.md drifted out of sync (each merge hit conflicts on those
three files; auto-merge sometimes resolved silently in the wrong
direction), CLAUDE.md gets an explicit drift-recovery checklist + a
3-line paste-ready audit command anyone can run.

Three additions to the existing "Version locations" section:

1. **Mandatory audit command** — three echo lines that print VERSION,
   package.json version, and the top CHANGELOG header. All three MUST
   match the wave's `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO`. Designed for paste-after-
   every-merge use.

2. **Merge-conflict recovery procedure** — exact sed/echo patterns for
   resolving VERSION + package.json + CHANGELOG conflicts, in the order
   to apply them. Names the anti-pattern (mixing `git checkout --ours`
   on the trio) that's bitten us before.

3. **Pre-push gate** — re-run the audit before `git push` of any merge
   commit. /ship Step 12 catches drift but only if you actually run
   /ship; manual pushes skip the check.

Confirmed consistent at d361482, 7e8f696, 65a5994 (every merge
commit on this branch). The doc gap was the rules being too loose,
not the rules being wrong — this beefs up the procedural side so the
next merge can't silently desync.

* docs(llms): regenerate after CLAUDE.md edit + tighten the rule

CI failed on the build-llms generator test because CLAUDE.md edited
in fe050ae (version-consistency procedure) shipped without a
matching `bun run build:llms` regen. The committed llms-full.txt was
77 lines short of fresh generator output, and test/build-llms.test.ts
caught the drift in CI shard 1.

Two changes:

1. llms.txt + llms-full.txt — regenerated to match current CLAUDE.md.

2. CLAUDE.md — strengthened the "Auto-derived" entry for llms.txt /
   llms-full.txt with explicit "every CLAUDE.md edit chases with
   `bun run build:llms` in the same commit" wording. Notes that
   `verify` doesn't run the build-llms test, only the full unit
   suite does, so a clean typecheck is NOT enough to know you can
   push after touching CLAUDE.md.

This is now the third time this has bitten the wave. The previous
"Auto-derived" entry said the right thing but was buried in a list;
elevating it to imperative voice with a count of past regressions
should make the next CLAUDE.md edit hard to land without the chaser.
