Kjell Tore Guttormsen 816ba97c63 feat(repo-standard): v0.1.0 - per-repo gate for the open/ standard
Five checks a single repository can answer on its own: README first
screen, install block, files required by its class, open/<name>
references, description length. Pure classifiers with I/O resolved into
their input, mirroring check-versions.mjs; ERROR/WARN/SKIP/OK, exit 1
on ERROR. 32 tests.

The reference check has THREE outcomes: "matches no repo" (ERROR) is
separate from "matches a known non-repo" (WARN). Sharing an outcome
would let real dead links hide inside correct text. Only names in URL
position count, and .git is normalised first - without that a raw scan
turns 3 dead names into ~20.

enabledPlugins is treated as a legitimate second install form; what the
gate requires in addition is a CLI command. The JSON form is never
reported as the defect.

STATE.md is gitignored from this first commit - public remote.
No hook yet: a blocking gate must first be precise enough not to fail a
correct repository.

repo-standard

Per-repo gate for the open/ presentation standard, packaged as a marketplace plugin.

Context

Two components, one boundary:

  • Engine (scripts/repo-standard-check.mjs) — pure classifiers with all I/O resolved into their input, mirroring the marketplace's check-versions.mjs. Findings are ERROR/WARN/SKIP/OK; exit 1 on ERROR. Pinned by scripts/repo-standard-check.test.mjs (npm test).
  • Skill (skills/repo-standard/) — the judgement the script cannot encode. No checking logic lives here; it calls the engine.

register/repos.json is the single taxonomy register (name → class, per-class requirements, and the known non-repo names). Central by design: per-repo copies would recreate, in data, exactly the drift this plugin exists to remove.

Invariants

  • This repo has a PUBLIC remote. STATE.md is LOCAL-ONLY and gitignored from the first commit. Repos on a private remote track theirs — do not carry that habit across in either direction.
  • The gate sees ONE repo. Anything needing a view across the whole org (topic coverage, competing install forms, catalog-vs-forge divergence) does not belong here. It is measured where the org is enumerated.
  • It records, it does not fix. Findings first, remediation afterwards. Patching while measuring is how the inconsistency it detects was produced.
  • SKIP is never a pass. A check that could not run says so and names why.
  • Three outcomes on references. "No match" and "match on a known non-repo" must stay distinct findings. Collapsing them hides real loss inside correct text — the exact defect class this gate exists to catch.
  • One API call, anonymous. The org listing carries description and topics already; per-repo fetching trips the rate limiter (HTTP 429). It reads without a token, so the gate works for any reader — a public plugin whose documented check only runs for its author is a broken plugin.
  • Codepoints, not bytes, not UTF-16 units. Use [...s].length. An em-dash exposes only the byte layer; astral characters expose the rest.
  • No hook until the rule is precise. A blocking gate that fails a correct repository is the mechanism that gets gates switched off.

Commands

npm test                                                  # 32 tests
node scripts/repo-standard-check.mjs --dir "$PWD"         # gate one repo
node scripts/repo-standard-check.mjs --offline            # no network call
node scripts/repo-standard-check.mjs --json               # machine output
node scripts/repo-standard-check.mjs --refresh            # register vs. forge

Release

Polyrepo rule: a version bump is not finished until the tag vX.Y.Z is pushed and the catalog ref is bumped to it. Use release-plugin.mjs, never a hand-edited ref.

check-versions.mjs reads the catalog README's per-plugin label, and a missing entry is a silent null rather than an error — release-plugin.mjs rewrites an existing heading but cannot create one. A new plugin's catalog README entry has to be added by hand once.
