**The depth guard covered only the YAML side.** The listing arrives over
JSON-RPC so it cannot be cyclic, but it is just as unbounded in depth — and
both `jsonLikeEqual` and its message formatter walk it, so a server
advertising a deeply nested value crashed the tool exactly as a cyclic served
one did. Reproduced first: 60,000 levels against a shallow served value gives
`RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`. `jsonGraphError` is shared
now and runs over `entry.frontmatter` before the file is parsed — there is no
point reading a SKILL.md if the thing to compare it against is unusable.
**A frontmatter mismatch stayed behind a collapsed section.** Round 7 made
the badge count these findings; the alerts explaining a mandatory
verification failure were still one click away on a section that opens
collapsed for a structurally clean entry. Conformance now reveals itself when
they appear, keyed on the entry so it fires once rather than fighting a user
who collapses it again.
That reveal exposed three fixtures serving one skill's SKILL.md for every URI
— a genuine frontmatter mismatch the check was right to report. The stale-
batch invariant test and the Storybook fixtures now derive each file from the
frontmatter its own entry advertises, with digests computed from those bytes
rather than hard-coded, so the class of drift is closed rather than the
instances patched. `SAMPLE_FM` is the single source for both halves.
One story subtlety worth recording: only a skill's OWN SKILL.md is derived.
Serving it for `notes.md` too made the tampered fixture fail its SIZE check
first, which is a different finding from the digest mismatch that story
exists to demonstrate.
