Item 6 — aipass install pip step looked hung. setup.sh ran the heavy editable install of the [dev,memory] extras with pip --quiet, so it went SILENT for minutes during memory wheel builds (looks frozen to a first-time user). Dropped --quiet on that step so pip streams progress, and set the expectation in the echo ('can take a few minutes while the memory wheels build'). Left the fast pip-upgrade step quiet.
Item 7 — README quick-start command errored. README.md:147 showed 'drone @seedgo audit my_project', but audit takes a registered PACK name, so it fails with Unknown pack. Corrected to 'audit aipass' (matches the working example at :119).
Remaining #665 items (version hardcode, --help command names, subcommand --help contract, placeholder descriptions, bare-mode hints, crash-vs-unknown) span aipass/drone/daemon/memory/spawn and stay open for a coordinated per-owner pass. setup.sh syntax-checked (bash -n).
Rides PR#659 (issue-clearing, no main-merge).
#668 — poll loop re-drained a rate-limited backlog in a flood loop. The offset advanced AFTER process_update, so a rate-limited/rejected/erroring update never advanced it and the same backlog was re-fetched. Fix: advance the offset BEFORE process_update, so a consumed update never pins it (base_bot.py run loop).
#669 — three fixes: (1) systemd unit gets KillMode=process so a Restart is not killed by the old instance's cgroup teardown (the suicide-loop); (2) create_bot_via_botfather now RAISES RuntimeError with an actionable message (names the set-secret command) instead of silently returning None when telethon config is missing/unready — fail-honestly (botfather_client.py); (3) stale config-mechanism docstrings corrected (bot_factory/bot_operations).
Bonus (unbriefed but correct + beneficial): @skills also Windows-hardened _is_pid_alive (OpenProcess+GetExitCodeProcess on win32, os.kill moved into the POSIX branch) + refactored _check_lock to use it, and switched TEMP_DIR to tempfile.gettempdir(). Side effect: base_bot.py os.kill is now platform-guarded.
Built by @skills, verified by devpulse: 653 telegram tests green (incl lock/pid tests exercising the refactor); #668 offset-before-process verified by inspection; #669.2 raise covered by test_botfather_client. Note: @skills dispatch bounced on a usage-limit retry AFTER completing the work — verified the on-disk result independently.

Two hardening items surfaced during #664 that @memory could not touch (cross-branch edit gate blocked it).
ITEM 1 — _find_repo_root fail-loud (lifecycle/rollover.py). The PreCompact rollover hook's _find_repo_root() returned None SILENTLY when AIPASS_HOME/cwd was wrong -> rollover no-ops invisibly (the exact silent-skip that hid #664 for months). Now logs a logger.error with the AIPASS_HOME value + cwd before returning None (still degrades, just visibly).
ITEM 2 — edit_gate soft entry-count guard (security/edit_gate.py). edit_gate enforced per-entry CHARACTER caps but not entry COUNTS, so a branch could drift past its count cap between rollovers. New _check_section_counts warns (NEVER blocks) when a rolling section exceeds its cap, reading the SAME memory.config.json rollover caps @memory uses (config_loader.section('rollover') -> per_branch/defaults -> count); wrapped so a config-import failure degrades silently.
Built by @hooks, verified by devpulse: 70 tests green (+14 incl never-blocks guarantee, boundary cases, per-branch override, import-failure resilience); LIVE repro proves item1 logs the error on a bad root and item2 warns over-cap (20/15) without blocking; config structure confirmed to match memory's real caps (not inert).
Rides PR#659 (issue-clearing, no main-merge). Source: #664 verify (S292).
registry.is_owner (apps/handlers/registry.py:382) @-normalized the email but never lowercased, so a mixed-case branch name (registry names are mixed-case: DEVPULSE vs devpulse) returned False against the seated owner while the lowercase form returned True. Harmless today — the only live caller (@ai_mail dispatch_monitor._wake_sender) lowercases first — but the frozen TDPLAN-0012 contract promises a normalized email, and PART-4 owner-gating of watchdog/feedback may pass a raw branch name.
Fix: lowercase BOTH sides of the comparison (passed-in email AND registry owner email), @-strip preserved. +1 case-insensitivity test. Built by @spawn, verified by devpulse: LIVE repro — every case variant of the owner (DEVPULSE/@DEVPULSE/DevPulse) resolves True, non-owners (seedgo/@SEEDGO) and empty stay False; 316 spawn tests green (+1), seedgo 100%.

Two rough edges on the JSONL stall detector, both hardened in one pass on my own module (apps/handlers/watchdog/agent.py).
PART 1 (false-positive): _has_jsonl_activity inferred liveness purely from JSONL file-size growth over the 120s window. An agent doing ONE genuinely long operation (big Read, long Bash, heavy compute) writes no new JSONL lines for that span -> read as idle -> STALLED fires WHILE the agent is actively working. Fix: watch_agent now also treats an in-flight tool_use as activity. While a tool runs, the assistant's tool_use is the last transcript entry; new _last_entry_is_inflight_tool() tail-reads the newest .jsonl and detects it (fully defensive -> False on any parse/shape drift, degrading to size-based). LIVE-PROVEN against real Claude Code transcripts: sampled my own session across a 10s in-flight bash -> tool_use line is written at tool START and persists the whole call (the sub-second flush lag is irrelevant at the 120s horizon).
PART 2 (invisible stall): the stall only hit _stderr()+logger. The Monitor tool that arms the watchdog turns each STDOUT line into a live event but only captures stderr to a file (never surfaced) -> devpulse never saw the stall until the 600s timeout. Fix: new _stdout_event() emits the stall (+ a long-running-tool advisory for a possibly-hung tool, + a resumed signal) to stdout so Monitor relays it live; the verbose trail stays on stderr+logger.
Stall logic extracted into a StallTracker class (kills deep-nesting). +9 tests (unit + full-loop stdout proofs + real-transcript schema check); 142 watchdog tests green, seedgo audit 100%, no type errors.

- bash passes IS_WINDOWS into the hook-install heredoc; bridge string picks .venv/Scripts/python.exe vs .venv/bin/python3
- @hooks assessment: $AIPASS_HOME expansion fine (CC runs hooks via Git Bash on Windows), bridge has zero POSIX assumptions — interpreter path was the only gap
- Verified both OS modes + merge-marker/custom-hook regression
- New stdlib-only bash launcher at repo root: pre-setup only 'install' works (delegates to setup.sh, full flag pass-through); post-setup execs the venv aipass binary transparently
- 13 launcher tests (tests/test_launcher.py), bypass.json architecture entry for the test file
- README Quick Start leads with ./aipass install; CHANGELOG entry
The 3 branches the template checker correctly flagged had never had their
.aipass/aipass_local_prompt.md filled in — they booted with a NEEDS CONFIGURATION
placeholder and no branch-specific identity. Each branch wrote its own real prompt
(identity, key commands, architecture, critical rules, integration points;
~63-67 lines, PROMPT_STYLE.md format).
Dispatched @cli/@drone/@prax (each owns its identity); verified independently —
0 stub markers, all three Template 100%, real coherent content.

Pass 3 / final. The definitive-marker scan still matched {{BRANCH}} inside markdown
inline code — spawn's README documents 'Replace `{{BRANCH}}` in...', which is
scaffolding docs, not an un-rendered stub (spawn scored 66%). For .md files, fenced
+ inline code is now stripped once up front before BOTH the definitive and
single-curly scans; passport.json (JSON) still scans raw. Safe because real stubs
carry markers in prose/headings (the '## Status: NEEDS CONFIGURATION' line), never
exclusively in code.
Verified system-wide: Template avg 80%→94%; spawn + seedgo cleared to 100%; only
the three genuine unconfigured prompt stubs (cli/drone/prax) still flag. +3 tests
(24/24), full suite green (1132). Completes the checker-solid work begun in 26893fb.

The advisory 'template' stale-checker matched marker strings anywhere in a file,
firing on documentation ABOUT templates rather than un-rendered stubs. Two root
causes fixed:
1. Scanned .trinity/*.json (all memory) — local.json/observations.json accumulate
marker mentions (seedgo's own note about the checker, prax's template_pusher
note). Now scans passport.json only, the sole spawn-templated trinity file.
2. Single-curly {…} regex ran on every .md, matching inline JSON/f-strings/code
paths in READMEs. Now single-curly detection runs on the branch prompt only
(README template has no single-curly placeholders) and strips fenced + inline
code first.
Definitive-marker detection unchanged — real stubs (cli/drone/prax prompts) still
flag. Verified live: seedgo 100%, drone/prax flag only the real prompt stub.
+4 tests (21/21). Dispatched to @seedgo (owner), verified independently.

New post-2.6.1 changelog period (unreleased, merge held for later). Documents the
_advance_pending processing_message_id fix under Fixed (@hooks, f42a98b, PR #651).
PATCH bump riding into PR#646 so main's merge commit carries the release version. pyproject + __init__ = 2.6.1 (must match the v2.6.1 tag). CHANGELOG [2026-07-02] leads with the release rollup + all 6 CI-stabilization fixes.
Root-cause fixes for PR#646 red (dev broke after DPLAN-0226/FPLAN-0289/TDPLAN-0010 batch):
- seedgo: branch_audit honors ADVISORY (template_check no longer averaged into gate) + presence_gate added to hooks-snapshot fixture (4 tests)
- hooks: cc_sessions README entry + seedgo modules bypass (reads external ~/.claude, not branch data)
- spawn: retire passport(disabled).py/passport_ops(disabled).py to .archive/ (disabled suffix kept broken cross-import visible to type checker)
- ai_mail: broker-fd test gives testbranch a real .trinity/passport.json for the new marker-walk resolution (f914ab6)
--json was routed through Rich console.print(), which defaults to width 80 on
a non-TTY and hard-wraps mid-string, producing invalid JSON (e.g. 'Security
\nScan'). Write raw JSON with sys.stdout.write() in the pass-through paths
(drone.py + router.py); keep Rich for drone's own human UI. Verified live.
