RFC#2843 #32 — make a fresh seo-agent auto-install seo-all post-boot. Two tightly-coupled prod fixes in one PR (they only work end-to-end together).

Summary

FIX A — agent-skills must NOT be an asset-channel path. IsCPTemplateAssetPath still allowed agent-skills/*, so a fresh seo-agent's ~501–716 KiB skill tree was pulled into the provision request and fail-closed BEFORE the CP was ever called (WORKSPACE_PROVISION_FAILED, reproduced twice; control template claude-code-default succeeded; prod CP logs showed zero provision requests for the failed ws). Skills are PLUGINS now (core #2995): the gitea:// resolver reads the agent-skills/<skill> subpath from the template repo at install time. The asset-channel allowlist is now config.yaml + prompts/ ONLY**; agent-skills/* is rejected at the addAsset boundary. Skill files stay in the repo (they ARE the plugin source). The seo-agent asset set drops to config.yaml (~9 KB) + prompts/seo-agent.md (~8 KB) ≈ 18 KB, far under the 256 KiB cap.

FIX B — create_workspace must record declared plugins. The post-online reconcile only installs plugins with workspace_declared_plugins rows. recordDeclaredPlugin ran ONLY in org_import.go, not in the single create_workspace path — so a singly-provisioned seo-agent got no declared rows, the reconcile no-op'd, and seo-all never installed. New template_plugins.go parses the template config.yaml plugins: block (mergePlugins-aligned dedup + !/- opt-out) and records each declared plugin in WorkspaceHandler.Create, mirroring the org_import loop. Idempotent via the ON CONFLICT upsert.

SOP checklist

• Comprehensive testing performed: provisioner package — flipped the prior "allows agent-skills" allowlist tests to rejection/skip tests; new TestCollectCPConfigFiles_RejectsAgentSkillsAsset; updated wire-shape + large-asset tests to config.yaml/prompts only. handlers package — new template_plugins_test.go: parseTemplatePlugins reads the seo-agent shape + dedup/opt-out; sqlmock-backed seedTemplatePlugins asserts the workspace_declared_plugins INSERT with the derived install name seo-all. go build ./..., go vet, and both package test suites green locally (with MOLECULE_GITEA_TOKEN for token-gated tests).
• Local-postgres E2E run: N/A for unit scope — the DB write is proven via sqlmock (recordDeclaredPlugin no-ops on nil db.DB, so a mock-backed assertion is the unit-level proof). Full live DB path is exercised by the staging delivery e2e below.
• Staging-smoke verified or pending: pending post-merge — re-verified by provisioning a fresh seo-agent on the agents-team prod tenant after auto-deploy (the #32 acceptance). The template-delivery-e2e workflow is the standing regression gate (advisory, Phase 1).
• Root-cause not symptom: yes — A fixes the actual fail-closed cause (skill tree forced through the provision payload because the allowlist still admitted agent-skills); B fixes the actual no-op cause (declared rows never written on the single-create path). Neither is a symptom patch.
• Five-Axis review walked: correctness (allowlist now config.yaml+prompts only; declared rows written + idempotent), readability (template_plugins.go mirrors template_schedules.go 1:1), architecture (skills-as-plugins decoupling per CTO ruling; asset channel carries non-secret config only), security (blast-radius allowlist tightened, not loosened — agent-skills now rejected alongside MEMORY.md/CLAUDE.md; hostile-template LimitReader reused), performance (asset payload shrinks ~30× for seo-agent; fetcher skips the skill tree).
• No backwards-compat shim / dead code added: yes, none — no compat shim; the change tightens the allowlist and adds a create-path parallel to an existing org-import path. No dead code.
• Memory consulted: reference_runtime_fix_deploy_path, feedback_no_such_thing_as_flakes, feedback_comprehensive_tests_and_e2e_for_llm, feedback_no_silent_checklist_trim, feedback_no_gofmt_w_wildcard (gofmt -w only files I edited).

RFC#2843 #32: agent-skills are plugins, not asset-channel paths; record declared plugins on create_workspace ... 6f379a884f

Two evidence-backed prod fixes that together make a fresh seo-agent
auto-install seo-all post-boot.

FIX A — agent-skills must NOT ride the provisioning asset channel.
IsCPTemplateAssetPath still allowed `agent-skills/*`, so a fresh
seo-agent's ~501-716 KiB skill tree got pulled into the provision
request and fail-closed before the CP was ever called
(WORKSPACE_PROVISION_FAILED, reproduced twice; zero CP provision
requests logged for the failed ws). Skills are PLUGINS now (core #2995):
they install dynamically post-online via the gitea:// plugin resolver,
which reads the agent-skills/<skill> subpath from the template repo at
install time. So the asset-channel allowlist is now config.yaml +
prompts/** ONLY; agent-skills/* is rejected at the addAsset boundary.
The skill files remain in the template repo (they ARE the plugin
source). The seo-agent asset set drops to config.yaml (~9 KB) +
prompts/seo-agent.md (~8 KB) = ~18 KB, far under the 256 KiB cap.

FIX B — create_workspace must record declared plugins.
The post-online reconcile only installs plugins that have
workspace_declared_plugins rows. recordDeclaredPlugin ran ONLY in
org_import.go, not in the single create_workspace path — so a singly
provisioned seo-agent got no declared rows, the reconcile no-op'd, and
seo-all never installed. New template_plugins.go parses the template
config.yaml `plugins:` block (mergePlugins-aligned dedup + "!"/"-"
opt-out) and records each declared plugin in WorkspaceHandler.Create,
mirroring the org_import.go loop. Idempotent via the ON CONFLICT upsert.

Tests:
- provisioner: agent-skills/* now REJECTED by IsCPTemplateAssetPath +
  collectCPConfigFiles + the gitea fetcher (flipped the prior
  "allows agent-skills" tests to rejection/skip tests; updated the
  wire-shape + large-asset tests to use config.yaml/prompts only).
- handlers: new template_plugins_test.go proves parseTemplatePlugins
  reads the seo-agent shape + dedup/opt-out, and (sqlmock-backed)
  seedTemplatePlugins WRITES the workspace_declared_plugins row with the
  derived install name (seo-all) — recordDeclaredPlugin no-ops on nil
  db.DB, so a DB-backed test is required to prove the write.
- e2e: test_template_delivery_e2e.sh already asserts the new two-channel
  contract (provision succeeds, config.yaml non-stub + prompts via the
  asset channel, agent-skills NOT on the old asset path [negative
  control], seo-all installs via the post-online plugin reconcile).
  Added the FIX-B source paths (workspace.go, template_plugins.go) to the
  workflow path filter so the gate fires when this code changes.

RFC#2843 #32: fix template-delivery-e2e job rename — colon-free name + bp-exempt directive ... b46e0349c2

The renamed advisory job emits a new status context; lint-required-context-exists-in-bp
flagged it. Quote-free colon-free name (PyYAML AST parse rejected the colon) + a
bp-exempt directive within the 3-line window above the job key (advisory Phase-1
gate, continue-on-error mc#2996 — not a required BP context).
