🚀 Agent Task Skills + Merge Protection

Additive-only PR. No existing file is modified or deleted (verified: git diff --cached --name-status returns additions only).

🧠 Agent Task Skills — knowledge/agents/

Six composable, dependency-free skills covering a unit of work end to end. Each ships as SKILL.md (contract) + main.py (logic) + tests/ (pytest), with a machine-readable manifest.yml index.

Skill	Responsibility	Entry point
task-master	Decompose a goal, order by dependency, refuse cycles	TaskMaster.plan()
result-orchestrator	Collect outcomes, apply quality gates, reduce to a verdict	ResultOrchestrator.aggregate()
milestone-tracker	Grade timeline health from slip against schedule	MilestoneTracker.health()
blocker-resolver	Classify obstacles and route escalations	BlockerResolver.triage()
handoff-coordinator	Gate a handoff on completeness	HandoffCoordinator.receipt()
summary-reporter	Render an executive update that leads with decisions	SummaryReporter.report()

Tests: 40 passed (python -m pytest knowledge/agents -q)

Design rules: deterministic (no clocks, no randomness); explicit failure (a cycle, an unknown dependency, an unknown status, or an incomplete handoff is rejected, never tolerated); no hidden state.

🛡️ Merge Protection

• .gitattributes — merge=union for documentation so two branches appending to the same note cannot conflict; strict merge=text for code; merge=binary -diff for lock files; normalised LF endings; binary asset handling.
• .github/CODEOWNERS — review routing for knowledge/**, .github/workflows/**, security/**, deliverables/**, and app code. Paths changed by this PR are owned by @ZyntroAI.
• .github/merge_rules.json — the merge policy as machine-readable config: MERGE_COMMIT default, squash/rebase disallowed on main, 2 approvals, stale-review dismissal, required checks, protected paths, additivity rules, and delete protection.

⚠️ What is not in this PR

• protect-merge.yml — the CI enforcement workflow is deliberately excluded. The fig-ai-agent GitHub App on this repo does not hold the workflows permission, and GitHub rejects an entire push at the tree level if any commit touches .github/workflows/. The file is delivered separately as a drop-in for manual installation. merge_rules.json documents the checks it declares (protect-merge, CI, secret-scan); the workflow itself must be added before those checks can gate.
• Supabase documentation — the six guides named in the original brief (SSO signing, OAuth apps, audit logs, audit log drains, legal documents, feature previews) already exist on main as knowledge/supabase-*.md, merged 2026-09-13 with front matter, sha256 hashes, knowledge/manifest.yml, and a README index. Re-adding them would create duplicates.
• CONTRIBUTING.md / .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — specified in the brief but already present (212 and 60 lines respectively). Shipping the brief's versions would have overwritten them, which contradicts this PR's own no-replacement policy.

✅ Verification

• All changes are pure additions; main is untouched.
• manifest.yml and merge_rules.json parse cleanly (YAML/JSON validated).
• 40/40 skill tests pass.
• No secrets or credentials.

🛡️ Manual install: protect-merge.yml

This PR adds .github/merge_rules.json, which declares protect-merge as a required
status check — but the workflow that produces that check cannot be pushed by the
automation account: the GitHub App on this repo does not hold the workflows
permission, and GitHub rejects an entire push at the tree level if any commit touches
.github/workflows/, which would have sunk the rest of this PR with it.

It is therefore delivered here for manual install.

To install

1. Create .github/workflows/protect-merge.yml with the content below.
2. Commit it from an account (or App) holding the workflows permission.
3. Confirm the check appears as protect-merge — that is the exact name
   merge_rules.json requires.

The job name is protect-merge, matching status_checks.required_checks.

What it enforces

Mirrors .github/merge_rules.json:

• Blocks deletion of protected paths (knowledge/, docs/, security/).
• Flags modification of protected paths so CODEOWNERS review is required.
• Warns on note rewrites under knowledge/ — a pure append leaves
  removed == 0; a rewrite of more than 20 lines is surfaced for a human to confirm.
• Fails on credential patterns in the diff (block_on_secret_detection).
• Runs the repo's own knowledge validator: knowledge/sync_knowledge_index.py --dry-run.
• Validates changed config: merge_rules.json as JSON, any changed YAML as YAML.

Two things to check before you commit it

• The workflow file is validated as YAML and its actions are SHA-pinned to real
  releases (actions/checkout v4.2.2). It deliberately does not use the
  unresolvable SHAs currently breaking ci.yml on main — see the note below.
• merge_rules.json lists three required checks (protect-merge, CI, secret-scan).
  Only protect-merge is produced by this file. Align that list with the checks the
  repo actually runs, or branch protection will wait on checks that never report.

⚠️ Pre-existing CI breakage (not from this PR)

ci.yml on main pins actions/checkout@f548e57c3d3c42e288026812cd22362661c4e8d4 and
actions/setup-python@5fda3b9c709277f8cf4290f3a0094ab7e95c1338. GitHub cannot resolve
either SHA, so every job in those workflows fails at Set up job in ~2s:

Unable to resolve action `actions/checkout@f548e57c...`, unable to find version

Recent runs on main (af98f15) are all red for this reason. The lint / Python 3.11 /
Python 3.12 failures on this PR are that same breakage, not this change — this PR only
adds files. Fixing it also needs the workflows permission.

protect-merge.yml

# .github/workflows/protect-merge.yml
#
# Merge safety gate. Runs on every PR targeting main and fails when a change
# would destroy state that the merge policy protects.
#
# INSTALL: drop this file at .github/workflows/protect-merge.yml and commit it
# from an account holding the `workflows` permission. It declares the required
# check named in .github/merge_rules.json -> status_checks.required_checks.

# Policy source of truth: .github/merge_rules.json
# Review routing:        .github/CODEOWNERS
