Scope the contributor skill to this repository and give it one home - #93

Conversation
The codex invocation was re-derived from scratch every time: the stdin redirect it hangs without, the model flag a ChatGPT account refuses, the timeout binary this machine does not have, and where the verdict starts in the log. It also records the two things that make the review worth running — the qualifying bar from AGENTS.md in the prompt, and checking git log -S before blaming a sentence for a run that predates it.

Two open pull requests and one uncommitted working tree were three attempts at the same thing, pulling in different directions. This lands the coherent result. The Codex copy of the dogfood skill was a second identical file. Two identical files are the defect 2.16.0 spent itself removing everywhere else, and they drift at the first edit to either. .agents/skills/dogfood is now a symlink to the Claude copy, with a test asserting the pairing, so there is one text and one place to edit it. That symlink is only safe because the marketplace source no longer copies the whole .agents tree. It now copies the manifest alone, so a contributor-only skill under .agents never reaches the Codex payload. Without that, every isolated install test fails on the symlink, which is why the working tree carrying this test was never committed. The skill text is the longer version, which records how to read what reached an agent's context, how to reproduce before naming a cause, and how to run the review on the other host. The competing revision removed that material. This session needed all three and had to rediscover two of them, so the evidence favors keeping them.

User-visible result
Contributors get the
dogfoodskill on both hosts from one text, and the shipped plugin stops loading inside its own repository, where it is the thing under test rather than the authority.This supersedes #71 and #82 and lands the uncommitted working tree that was sitting in the shared checkout. All three were attempts at the same thing and they pulled in different directions.
