 Follow the commands below exactly. but apply judgement and creativity to get the job done. no matter how small or simple the task may seem, you must use the babysitter SDK and run lifecycle to execute it. This is non-negotiable. If you are asked to do something that seems like it could be done with a simple tool call, you must still use the babysitter SDK to create a run, define tasks, execute them, and complete the run. This is how you will learn and demonstrate mastery of the babysitter system. Always follow the full process, even for trivial tasks.
 
+Subagents that need a scratch checkout or working directory must create it under
+`/tmp/<descriptive-name>/`, not under `.a5c/runs/<runId>/work`. Before returning
+deliverables, validate that no run-dir worktree was left behind, for example:
+
+```bash
+find .a5c/runs -maxdepth 3 -name work -type d -print
+```
+
+That command should print nothing. If it prints a non-empty work directory, move
+or remove only the scratch data you created before returning.

-## GitHub Copilot CLI -- In-Turn Loop Model
-
-**IMPORTANT**: Unlike Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI does NOT have a Stop hook
-that can drive the orchestration loop between turns. The `sessionEnd` hook output
-is ignored and cannot block or restart the session.
-
-Therefore, you MUST use **in-turn iteration**: run the full orchestration loop
-within a single session turn. The pattern is:
-
-1. `$CLI run:iterate --json` -- get pending actions
-2. For each pending action: execute it (run tasks, post results via `task:post`)
-3. `$CLI run:iterate --json` -- check for more pending actions
-4. Repeat steps 2-3 until run completes or reaches a breakpoint requiring user input
-5. If a breakpoint requires user input, ask the user and post the response, then continue iterating
-
-All iteration happens within the same turn -- do NOT rely on hooks to re-enter
-the orchestration loop. The agent drives the loop directly by calling
-`run:iterate` repeatedly until completion.
-
-### Loop Example
+For non-interactive mode (running with `-p` flag or no AskUserQuestion tool):
 
 ```bash
-# Initial iterate
-RESULT=$($CLI run:iterate --run-id "$RUN_ID" --json)

+---
+
+# blueprints
+
+This command installs and manages Babysitter blueprints. A blueprint is a version-managed package of contextual instructions or deterministic Babysitter processes, not a conventional software plugin.
+
+If the command is run without arguments, list installed blueprints with their name, version, marketplace, installation date, and last update date. Also list configured marketplaces and show how to add the default marketplace when none exist.
+
+Blueprints can be installed at two scopes:
+
+- **global** (`--global`): stored under `~/.a5c/`, available for all projects
+- **project** (`--project`): stored under `<projectDir>/.a5c/`, project-specific
+
+## Marketplace Management
+
+Marketplaces are git repositories containing a `marketplace.json` manifest and blueprint package directories. The SDK clones new marketplaces to `.a5c/blueprints/marketplaces/` for the selected scope and reads legacy `.a5c/marketplaces/` clones for compatibility.
+
+### Add a marketplace
+
+```bash
+babysitter blueprint:add-marketplace --marketplace-url <url> [--marketplace-path <relative-path>] [--marketplace-branch <ref>] [--force] --global|--project [--json]
+```
+
+### Update a marketplace
+
+```bash
+babysitter blueprint:update-marketplace --marketplace-name <name> [--marketplace-branch <ref>] --global|--project [--json]
+```
+
+### List blueprints in a marketplace
+
+```bash
+babysitter blueprint:list-plugins --marketplace-name <name> --global|--project [--json]
+```
+
+## Blueprint Lifecycle
+
+For `blueprint:install`, `blueprint:update`, `blueprint:configure`, and `blueprint:list-plugins`, the `--marketplace-name` flag is auto-detected when only one marketplace is cloned for the selected scope.
+
+```bash
+babysitter blueprint:install --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
+babysitter blueprint:update --plugin-name <name> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
+babysitter blueprint:configure --plugin-name <name> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
+babysitter blueprint:uninstall --plugin-name <name> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
+```
+
+The `--plugin-name` flag is preserved for CLI compatibility with existing marketplace manifests. User-facing docs should call the installable a blueprint.
+
+## Registry Management
+
+```bash
+babysitter blueprint:list-installed --global|--project [--json]
+babysitter blueprint:update-registry --plugin-name <name> --plugin-version <ver> --marketplace-name <mp> --global|--project [--json]
+babysitter blueprint:remove-from-registry --plugin-name <name> --global|--project [--json]
+```
+
+## Deprecated Aliases
+
+The old `plugin:*` commands remain available as deprecated aliases for one release. Prefer `blueprint:*` in new docs, skills, and process instructions.
+
+## Agent Plugins Are Separate
+
+Do not rename or reinterpret agent harness plugins while handling blueprints. `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`, `PI_PLUGIN_ROOT`, `.claude/plugins/`, hooks-mux, extension-mux, and agent plugin manifests stay plugin-specific.

+description: Pre-deploy gate that scans built JS chunks for forbidden substring markers (saga-era / obsolete code paths) listed in a project-local forbidden-markers.txt
+---
+
+# check-forbidden-markers
+
+Invoke the babysitter:babysit skill (using the Skill tool) and follow its instructions (SKILL.md). Compose the gate from the shared helper at `library/processes/shared/forbidden-markers-scanner.js` (issue #477).
+
+## What this gate does
+
+Reads a list of literal substring markers from `scripts/forbidden-markers.txt` (blank lines and `#`-prefixed comments stripped) and greps every `.js` chunk under `.vercel/output/static/_next/static/chunks/` (Next.js / Vercel default; configurable) for any occurrence. Reports structured hits per `(marker, chunk)` pair with occurrence counts. Designed to chain between `vercel build --prod` and `vercel deploy --prod`.
+
+Use this gate when a refactor or restart-from-baseline replaced load-bearing code paths and you need a structural guarantee the obsolete symbols never re-ship. Burned-in evidence: cookbook VI-9 / VI-12 near-miss revivals during the 2026-05 iOS-Safari saga; the prototype lives at `cookbook/scripts/check-no-forbidden.mjs` and shipped two upstream contributions before being generalized as this gate.
+
+## When to use
+
+- **Pre-deploy.** Insert after build, before deploy. Block the deploy when `ok: false`.
+- **Post-restart.** After a baseline rollback + step-by-step re-add, snapshot the saga-era markers in `forbidden-markers.txt` and let CI hold the line.
+- **Post-refactor.** When old helper / handler / module names must not coexist with the new ones in the same bundle.
+
+## Expected config locations
+
+- `scripts/forbidden-markers.txt` — one marker per line, `#` for comments. The list is the contract; the gate is mechanical. Commit this file to source control.
+- `.vercel/output/static/_next/static/chunks/` — default scan target. Override for non-Vercel frameworks via the `--chunks-dir` flag or the `chunksDir` task input.
+
+A missing markers file is a no-op (`ok: true`, `reason: 'missing-markers-file'`) — misconfiguration is never a deploy block. A missing chunks directory is likewise a no-op (`reason: 'missing-chunks-dir'`) so the gate is safe to chain into `check:all` before the build runs.
+
+## Exit semantics
+
+| Reason                  | `ok`   | Deploy decision                |
+|-------------------------|--------|--------------------------------|
+| `missing-markers-file`  | true   | Pass (no gate active)          |
+| `missing-chunks-dir`    | true   | Pass (run before build)        |
+| `empty-markers`         | true   | Pass (list is empty)           |
+| `no-chunks`             | true   | Pass (nothing to scan)         |
+| `clean`                 | true   | Pass — proceed to deploy       |
+| `hits`                  | false  | **BLOCK** — surface hits, ask for triage |
+
+For each hit, the gate emits `{ marker, chunk, count }` so the operator sees the exact marker string, the absolute chunk path, and the number of occurrences in that chunk. Multiple hits across chunks for the same marker are reported separately.
+
+## Programmatic surface
+
+```js
+import { scanForbiddenMarkers, checkForbiddenMarkersTask } from '@a5c-ai/babysitter-library/processes/shared';
+
+// Direct call:
+const result = await scanForbiddenMarkers({
+  markersFile: 'scripts/forbidden-markers.txt',
+  chunksDir:   '.vercel/output/static/_next/static/chunks',
+});
+if (!result.ok) {
+  // result.hits: Array<{ marker, chunk, count }>
+  // result.reason === 'hits'
+  process.exit(1);
+}
+
+// Or dispatched as a babysitter task:
+const gate = await ctx.task(checkForbiddenMarkersTask, {
+  projectDir: '.',
+  // markersFile / chunksDir are inferred from projectDir if omitted
+});
+```

-Create and run a cleanup process using the process at `skills\babysit\process\cradle\cleanup-runs.js/processes/cleanup-runs.js`.
+Resolve the active process library with:

+```bash
+babysitter process-library:active --json
+```
+
+Read `binding.dir` from that JSON and create/run the cleanup process from `cradle/cleanup-runs.js#process` relative to that active library root. Do not use plugin-cache-relative cradle paths.
 
 Implementation notes (for the process):
 - Parse arguments for `--dry-run` flag (if present, set dryRun: true in inputs) and `--keep-days N` (default: 7)

 Contribution processes live under the active process library's `cradle/` directory. Resolve the active library root with `babysitter process-library:active --json` and route based on arguments:
-
-### Issue-based (opens a GitHub issue in a5c-ai/babysitter)
- * **Bug report** → `cradle/bug-report.js#process` — Report a bug in the SDK, CLI, process library, etc.
- * **Feature request** → `cradle/feature-request.js#process` — Request a new feature or enhancement
- * **Documentation question** → `cradle/documentation-question.js#process` — Ask about undocumented behavior or missing docs
-
-### PR-based (forks repo, creates branch, submits PR to a5c-ai/babysitter)
- * **Bugfix** → `cradle/bugfix.js#process` — User already has the fix for a bug
- * **Feature implementation** → `cradle/feature-implementation-contribute.js#process` — User already has a feature implementation
- * **Harness integration** → `cradle/feature-harness-integration-contribute.js#process` — User has a harness (CI/CD, IDE, editor) integration
- * **Library contribution** → `cradle/library-contribution.js#process` — New or improved process/skill/subagent for the library
- * **Documentation answer** → `cradle/documentation-contribute-answer.js#process` — User has an answer for an unanswered docs question
-
-### Router (when arguments are empty or general)
- * **Contribute** → `cradle/contribute.js#process` — Explains contribution types and routes to the specific process
-
-## Contribution Rules
-
- * PR-based contributions: fork the babysitter repo (a5c-ai/babysitter) for the user, ask to star if not already starred, perform changes, submit PR
- * Issue-based contributions: gather details, search for duplicates, review, then open an issue in a5c-ai/babysitter
- * Add breakpoints (permissions) before ALL gh actions (fork, star, submit PR/issue) to allow user review and cancellation

+
+Before drafting the process, run Phase 0 -- REUSE-AUDIT: extract keyword nouns and verbs from the request, scan for matching existing migrations, API routes, environment variables, SDK dependencies, and imports, honor `.a5c/reuse-audit.json` when present, and put a `Reuse-audit findings (REVIEW BEFORE PROCEEDING)` block before Phase 1 of the plan.

+## Process Shape Selection
+
+Choose the process shape before authoring `process.js`:
+
+- Use a flat phase list when the spec is well-defined, the work is wiring or composition, the bug class is already known if this is a fix, and execution should proceed sequentially through clear phases.
+- Use a HYPOTHESES tree when the bug class is unknown, forensics are required, multiple causal models compete, and each hypothesis needs its own observations, falsifying observations, and follow-up phases.
+- Rule of thumb: if the first phase is "investigate", use HYPOTHESES-tree mode. If the first phase is "implement X", use flat-phase-list mode.
