Promote develop to main

Promotes develop to main.

Includes #1040 (Fixes#809): host-setup/menu.sh, an interactive, loop-until-quit human-facing front end over the fleet's host and repo tooling (host tool install/upgrade, git/GitHub setup, fleet Skills install, audit a cataloged repo, check generated Skills distributions, and check/pull the hub's verbatim-owned files into a downstream repo's own worktree).

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Extend bootstrap.sh

• ➕ Reuses an existing standalone entry point
• ➕ Avoids adding another user-facing script
• ➖ Conflates one-shot host bootstrap with recurring repository operations
• ➖ Expands an already distinct lifecycle with persistent menu state

2. Build a Python CLI or TUI

• ➕ Offers stronger abstractions and easier unit testing
• ➕ Could provide richer prompts and validation
• ➖ Requires Python before host-tool installation
• ➖ Undermines the menu's ability to expose host actions on minimally prepared systems

Recommendation: Keep the standalone Bash menu. It preserves the one-shot bootstrap contract, remains usable before Python is available for host tasks, and delegates domain behavior to the existing authoritative tools rather than duplicating it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added host-setup/menu.sh as an interactive frontend for host setup, hub checkout management, and downstream repository tooling. The script supports option validation, freshness checks, dry-run mode, cleanup protection, task dispatch, and nonfatal task failures. Distribution checks now separate stale results from operational failures.

Changes

Host Setup Menu

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Startup and hub checkout resolution host-setup/menu.sh, host-setup/README.md	The script validates options and Git, reuses fresh hub checkouts, fetches selected refs when required, detects downstream repositories, and protects pre-existing cache directories. The README documents usage and dependencies.
Task execution and repository actions host-setup/menu.sh	The script invokes hub and Python tools, validates task-local Python prerequisites, runs audits and Skills distribution checks, and performs downstream carry checks or applies.
Interactive menu and dispatch host-setup/menu.sh	The script renders available actions, handles selections and invalid input, converts downstream apply to check in dry-run mode, and returns task failures to the menu.

Distribution Check Result Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Distribution check exit codes scripts/build_dist.py, scripts/tests/test_build_dist.py, scripts/README.md	build_dist.py --check returns 0 for current distributions, 1 for stale distributions, and 2 for operational failures. Tests cover symlinks, propagated OSError, and unreadable manifests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 0001a

The change adds interactive host and repository tooling and updates distribution checking, but the current version can allow concurrent sessions to interfere with shared checkouts, mishandle failed clone recovery, and report stale results when scans encounter inaccessible directories. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded reliability issues.

1. Failed fetch poisons cache✓ Resolved🐞 Bug☼ Reliability

Description

fetch_hub creates the ownership marker only after clone, ref fetch, and checkout all succeed, so
any earlier failure leaves $DIR/hub unmarked and cleanup skips it. Every later run with that cache
directory then refuses to remove the leftover checkout, blocking retries until the user manually
deletes it or changes --dir.

Code

host-setup/menu.sh[R98-101]

+ git clone --quiet --branch "$DEFAULT_REF" --single-branch "$HUB_URL" "$DIR/hub" ||+ {+ fail "Could not clone $HUB_REPO. Check that this host reaches github.com."+ return 1

Failed subprocesses must not leave misleading successful lifecycle state or block future retries.

Evidence

The fetch paths return before the marker and HUB_FETCHED are set; cleanup is gated on
HUB_FETCHED, while the next invocation rejects any hub directory lacking the marker. The existing
bootstrap implementation explicitly tracks and removes partially created trees, demonstrating the
intended lifecycle.

2. Non-main carry always fails✓ Resolved🐞 Bug≡ Correctness

Description

With any non-default --ref, the menu checks out that revision and still offers downstream carry
actions, but carry.py unconditionally rejects a hub whose HEAD is not freshly fetched
origin/main. Options 12 and 13 therefore cannot work in a --ref <branch|tag|PR|commit> session
despite --ref being documented as the hub revision to run.

Code

host-setup/menu.sh[R241-242]

+ ensure_hub_root || return 1+ hub_python scripts/carry.py "$mode" "$name" --target "$DOWNSTREAM_ROOT"

Relevance

●●● Strong

The documented ref option deterministically makes advertised carry actions fail, a clear correctness
inconsistency.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence

The menu explicitly checks out FETCH_HEAD for non-main refs and passes that checkout to
carry.py; verify_hub fetches main and requires HEAD == origin/main, so the selected checkout
is deterministically rejected.

Downstream carry actions invoke `carry.py` with a non-main hub checkout whenever the menu was started with a non-default `--ref`, guaranteeing rejection by `carry.py`.

check_skills_dist treats every nonzero result from hub_python as a stale distribution, then

reporting that the check failed.

6. Remove duplicated hub policy✗ Dismissed📘 Rule violation⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new README restates the canonical hub-hosting and fresh-checkout obligations instead of only
referencing GOVERNANCE.md. Maintaining this policy in another file can let the operational
guidance drift from its authoritative source.

Code

host-setup/README.md[83]

+Reaching `spec/audit.py` and `scripts/carry.py` from outside a hub checkout means fetching one, the same "hosted and reached, never carried" model [`scripts/README.md`][scripts-readme] states for those tools generally. `menu.sh` clones fresh rather than reusing `bootstrap.sh`'s tarball, since `scripts/carry.py` itself checks that its hub argument is a real git checkout on a freshly fetched `origin/main` with no local changes, and a full clone rather than a shallow one, since `spec/audit.py` walks the hub's own commit history to judge whether a carried copy is trailing the file it was copied from. Run from inside the hub itself, that same freshness is confirmed against the local checkout before a hub task uses it, falling back to a fresh clone when the local checkout has moved on, so an audit or a Skills-distribution check never silently reads a stale or feature-branch tree.

Relevance

●●● Strong

Explicit repository rule prohibits duplicating canonical governance policy in other files.
