Every place that called the Codeman Agent Skill setting off by default now
says it is on by default since 1.50.0, where to turn it off, and that turning
it off still removes no copy already written (`codeman skill uninstall --case
<name>` does). The README, the wiki's Codeman Skill page and the FAQ say an
agent inside Codeman usually has the skill without an install step, and that
the copy ignores itself in git.
Also written down: an install whose App Settings were saved on an earlier
version stored the old default and stays off until switched on; with the
Claude Code plugin installed, Claude Code lists the skill twice (both work);
and, in the invariants, the self-ignoring `.gitignore` rules and the
measurement that Claude Code 2.1.319 never runs `git check-ignore` on a skill
folder. The agent control plan keeps its original default-off decision and
gains a dated note for the flip.

The self-gate now says the skill reads saved Codex conversations offline outside a session; the staging
reference says only tagged input gets 409 during a guarded submit (the rest is held), and the API
reference notes a managed write past a full hold queue falls back to a direct write. Also: missing
reference rows, agent --help naming inspect/stage/submit, the tunnel opt-in in Remote Access, MCP wording.

Runs the mirror/version drift check and both strict validations. The paths
are spelled out because the documented pair ended in a bare `.` that reads as
a full stop when copied out of prose, which surfaced as `missing required
argument 'path'` on first use. Needs the `claude` CLI, so it is a local check
rather than a CI step.

Measured with both installed: a fresh Claude Code lists `codeman` (the
user-level or per-case copy) and `codeman:codeman` (the plugin). Neither
shadows the other and both work, so this is noise rather than breakage, but
the README, the wiki and the plugin README now say to choose one.

With the repo root as the plugin root, `claude plugin install codeman@codeman`
copied the whole checkout into its cache and, because that root carries a
package.json, ran an npm install there: 832 MB, 511 packages and this repo's
postinstall build on every installer's machine (measured from a clean worktree
of the previous commit). A plugin root must be a directory without one.
The plugin is now `plugins/codeman/`: its manifest, a README, and a MIRROR of
`skills/codeman/`. A mirror rather than a symlink because the install copies
the plugin directory and a link pointing outside it would dangle; a mirror
rather than the source because every install path, injector and doc already
names `skills/codeman/`. `scripts/sync-plugin.mjs` (replacing
sync-plugin-version.mjs) mirrors the skill and syncs both manifest versions
inside `version-packages`; `test/plugin-manifest.test.ts` pins byte-identity,
the versions, the absence of a package.json in the plugin root and that the
repo root `.claude-plugin/` holds only the marketplace manifest.
`claude plugin validate --strict` now passes for both the plugin and the repo
root. Install commands are unchanged.
