chore: extract AGENTS.md recipes into agent skills

Closes #2163

`AGENTS.md` was one 1,223-line contract loaded in full on every turn, whether
the task was a one-line CSS fix or a release cut. This splits it: rules stay
resident, procedures move to `.claude/skills/`.

- Ten skills under `.claude/skills/`, seven `disable-model-invocation: true`
  (invoked by name only, so they cost no listing context and have no trigger
  question) and three model-invoked with committed eval cases.
- `AGENTS.md` 1,223 → 380 lines: rules, a skills index, and a project tree
  reduced to one line per entry. The removed recipes are not duplicated.
- `README.md` 811 → 105 lines, split into `docs/{architecture,quality-gate,
  test-servers,publishing,docker}.md`, and dropped from `CLAUDE.md`'s auto-load.
- `.github/copilot-instructions.md` and its mirroring rule removed — Copilot
  reads `AGENTS.md`.
- `npm run verify:skills` (in `validate`, so in `local:gate` and CI) parses each
  SKILL.md the way Claude Code does, requires an explicit invocation mode and
  eval cases for model-invoked skills, and budgets the listing.
- `npm run skills:eval` runs the committed trigger cases headless.

# Testing
**Every change needs tests, and every file must clear ≥90% on lines,
statements, functions, and branches.** That rule and the React/Mantine
conventions live in [`AGENTS.md`](../../../AGENTS.md); this skill is where a
test goes, how to run it, and how to clear the gate.
## Where the test file goes
**Side-by-side by default; `src/test/` only for what can't be co-located; and
the Node clients are different.**
### `clients/web` — side-by-side
`<Name>.test.tsx` (or `.test.ts` for non-React modules) **next to the source**.
Components, hooks, `lib/`, `utils/`. This is the overwhelming majority; a
web-owned test living under `src/test/` instead is a bug.
`clients/web/src/test/` is for the three things that *cannot* be co-located:
1. **Tests of the repo-root `core/` package** → `src/test/core/…`, mirroring the
`core/` folder layout. `core/` physically lives outside `clients/web/`, is
consumed via the `@inspector/core` alias, and has no test harness of its own.
This includes `core/json/*` and `core/client/*`.
2. **The `integration` project** → `src/test/integration/…`, mirroring the
`core/` source layout (`mcp/`, `mcp/node/`, `mcp/remote/`, `auth/`,
`auth/node/`, `storage/`). **Placement is the manifest** — any file under that
folder is picked up by the integration project (node env, 30s timeouts) via a
folder glob; there is no enumeration to keep in sync.
3. **Shared test infrastructure** — `renderWithMantine.tsx`, `setup.ts`,
`fixtures/`, `scrollAreaStoryAssertions.ts`.
### `clients/cli`, `clients/tui`, `clients/launcher` — a top-level `__tests__/`
**All** their tests, not beside their source. Their `tsconfig.json` excludes
`**/*.test.*` and their `tsconfig.test.json` includes `__tests__/**/*`, so a
co-located `src/**/*.test.*` lands in **no** tsconfig project and fails
`npm run verify:typecheck-coverage` (#1791).
### Root tooling — `scripts/*.test.mjs`
A new `scripts/*.mjs` helper with pure logic gets a sibling `*.test.mjs`, run by
`npm run test:scripts` (node's built-in runner; the root has no vitest harness by
design). ⚠️ Keep the filename `*.test.mjs` — `node --test` silently **skips** a
file its glob misses and still exits 0.
## Running them
| Scope | From | Command |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Web unit | `clients/web` | `npm run test` (`test:watch` while iterating) |
| Web integration | `clients/web` | `npm run test:integration` |
| Web Storybook play fns | `clients/web` | `npm run test:storybook` |
| CLI | `clients/cli` | `npm run test` (`pretest` builds test-servers + the bin) |
| TUI | `clients/tui` | `npm run test` |
| Launcher | `clients/launcher` | `npm run test` |
| Root tooling | repo root | `npm run test:scripts` |
| Everything, fast | repo root | `npm run validate` |
| The coverage gate | repo root | `npm run coverage` |
There is **no aggregate root `test` script** — each client self-validates.
In unit tests that expect error output, **suppress it from the console**.
## The tiers, shallowest first
unit (`test`, per client) → web integration (`test:integration`, real
transports/servers) → out-of-process (`clients/cli/__tests__/e2e.test.ts`,
spawns the built binary) → smokes through the built launcher (`npm run smoke`) →
Storybook play functions (`test:storybook`) → the published-tarball check
(`npm run pack:verify`, local/release only — needs network).
`validate` runs the per-client `test` scripts — so web **unit** plus cli's
out-of-process `e2e.test.ts`, but **not** web's integration project, which runs
inside the `coverage` gate. CI therefore has no separate `test:integration` step.
## The coverage gate
**Per-file ≥90 on all four dimensions**, CI-enforced, across web, cli, tui and
launcher. New code must clear 90 on every dimension.
Scope notes:
- The **web** coverage `include` (in `clients/web/vite.config.ts`) also covers
the shared `core/` runtime the browser consumes — `core/mcp`, `core/react`,
`core/auth`, `core/storage`, `core/logging`, `core/node`, `core/json`,
`core/client`.
- ⚠️ That `include` is a **whitelist** naming `components`/`hooks`/`theme`/
`lib`/`utils`/`server`. A module placed **outside** those directories falls out
of the gate entirely, silently. The documented exceptions are `src/App.tsx`
(a composition root at ~42% branch coverage — gating it is a dedicated
decomposition effort) and the `src/main.tsx` / `src/index.ts` bootstraps.
- **CLI** tests run **in-process** by importing `runCli()`
(`__tests__/helpers/cli-runner.ts`) so `src` is measured; `src/index.ts` is the
only exclusion. `commander` uses `.exitOverride()` so a parse error throws
instead of tearing down the test worker.
- **TUI** covers **all of `src/**`, React surface included**. Components mount
through `ink-testing-library` with the passthrough doubles in
`__tests__/helpers/`; keypresses are driven through stdin. The only exclusion
is `src/tui-servers.ts` (a pure re-export, excluded so it doesn't surface as a
misleading 0/0 row).
### When a `v8 ignore` is justified
A genuinely-unreachable branch is annotated at the source rather than waved
through by lowering the gate. The acceptable reasons are enumerated in
[`AGENTS.md`](../../../AGENTS.md) — do not reach for one that is not on that
list.
## React tests: `renderWithMantine`
**Always render through `renderWithMantine`** (`src/test/renderWithMantine.tsx`)
— it wraps in `MantineProvider` with the project theme. Do not hand-roll a bare
`MantineProvider`; it skips the project theme and the helper's options and drifts
from every other test.
Note the justification has changed and the old one is wrong: it sets
`env="test"`, which makes Mantine skip the animated **render** — but it does
**not** stop the timers. `env` is read only at `Transition.mjs`'s render branch,
while `useTransition()` runs before that check and still schedules real
`window.setTimeout`s (opening a `<Modal>` schedules three 200ms timers). What
prevents a timer outliving its file — and throwing an uncaught
`ReferenceError: window is not defined` that fails the **whole run**, attributed
to an innocent file (#1760) — is the **leaked-timer safety net in
`src/test/setup.ts`**, which is global and covers every unit test however it
renders. The rule stands on consistency, not on timer safety.
- **Forced color scheme:** pass the option —
`renderWithMantine(ui, { colorScheme: "dark" })` — rather than hand-rolling
`defaultColorScheme="dark"`.
- **Mid-flight transition state** (e.g. asserting a `data-anim="out"` cell during
an exit crossfade) is the only reason to use `renderWithMantineTransitions`.
Pass `settleMs` derived from the component's real animation duration
(`HEADER_ANIM_MS + 200`), do **not** also use `vi.useFakeTimers()` in that test
(the auto-settle no-ops under fake timers), and if the test unmounts the tree
itself use the `unmount()` the helper returns. The mechanism is documented at
length on the helper — read there before changing it.
## Storybook play functions
Every screen and element component has a `*.stories.tsx`; play functions double
as interaction tests, run headless in CI and in the local gate.
⚠️ **`expect(...)` from `storybook/test` returns a promise.** Storybook
instruments it, so every `expect` in a play function is awaited — as is any
shared helper that wraps one.
## Test servers, not mocks
Integration and smoke tests drive a real server over a real transport. See
`/test-servers` for picking and building one.
