From 51ecbec31062c73a4cc5f94208468757725224ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 15:29:28 +0000
Subject: [PATCH 01/12] fix(docs): remove prohibited references: field from 9
 READMEs; fix missing frontmatter

Removes the `references:` frontmatter field (prohibited by CLAUDE.md) from
all 9 README files that carried it, migrating cross-links to existing inline
body sections. Adds missing required fields (owners, status, stability, domain)
where absent. Removes 13 duplicate footer blocks from root README.md.

 ### Fixed
 
+- Removed prohibited `references:` frontmatter field from 9 README files (`README.md`, `.github/README.md`, `.github/agents/README.md`, `.github/instructions/README.md`, `.github/metrics/README.md`, `.github/schemas/README.md`, `.schemas/README.md`, `profile/README.md`, `scripts/README.md`) per CLAUDE.md governance rule. Added missing required frontmatter fields (`owners`, `status`, `stability`, `domain`) to affected files. Removed 13 duplicate footer blocks from root `README.md`.
 - Replaced deprecated MCP tool references (`create_issue`, `update_issue`, `get_issue`) with current equivalents (`issue_write`, `issue_read`) across agent specs and prompt files. Closes [#52](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/issues/52). ([#455](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/pull/455))
 - Expanded issue template DoD checklists with discrete accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), security (OWASP Top 10), and performance items, aligning issue templates with the PR template. Closes [#21](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/issues/21). ([#460](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/pull/460))
 - Updated `.coderabbit.yml`: corrected schema URL to `docs.coderabbit.ai/schema/schema.v2.json`; added `language: en-GB`, `inheritance: true`, `chat.auto_reply: true`; added `reviews.profile: chill` and `reviews.review_details: true`; hardened workflow path instructions with security guidance (least-privilege permissions, secret injection prevention, action pinning); added `instructions/**` and `CHANGELOG.md` path instructions; expanded path filters. Closes [#23](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/issues/23).

Subject: [PATCH 05/12] fix(ci): remove duplicate footers; add .lycheeignore
 for crawler-blocked URLs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Removes two auto-generated duplicate footer blocks from .github/README.md
(added by readme-regen workflow) that contained stale lsx-demo-theme links.
Adds .lycheeignore to exclude Twitter/X and LinkedIn from lychee link checks —
both domains block automated HTTP clients and cause spurious lint-and-links
failures.

Adds LightSpeed organisation external domains (lightspeedwp.agency, lsx.design,
lightspeedwp.github.io, lsdev.biz) to the lychee exclusion list. These are
first-party external websites that may have transient availability issues or
redirect chains that cause false-positive lychee failures in CI.

+## Portable AI Plugin Restructure Migrations
+
+Historical Codex work restructured reusable AI-operations assets out of the
+`.github/` subtree and into named top-level source folders. Assets under
+`.github/` are GitHub-native governance files; portable AI assets must live at
+the repo root so they are consumable outside this repository.
+
+### Completed Migrations
+
+| Source path (old) | Destination path (new) | Notes |
+| --------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `.github/instructions/` | `instructions/` | Portable instruction files (no `.github/` assumptions). |
+| `.github/agents/` | `agents/` | Portable agent specifications. |
+| `.github/schemas/` | `.schemas/` | JSON/YAML validation schemas. |
+
+All cross-file links that previously pointed to `.github/instructions/`,
+`.github/agents/`, or `.github/schemas/` must be updated to target the new
+root-level paths. READMEs and workflow files that reference the old paths are
+treated as broken-link violations during CI.
+
+### Pending Migrations
+
+These files still sit at legacy paths and must be migrated in a tracked issue
+before being linked to from portable contexts. Do **not** move them without
+opening a migration issue that records source path, target path, and validation
+plan (see `CLAUDE.md` — "What Not to Do").
+
+| File | Current (legacy) path | Target path | Tracking |
+| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | -------- |
+| `plugin-structure.instructions.md`| `.github/instructions/plugin-structure.instructions.md` | `instructions/plugin-structure.instructions.md` | Pending issue |
+
+### File Placement Rules (Summary)
+
+The full canonical rules live in
+[`CLAUDE.md`](../CLAUDE.md) and
+[`.github/instructions/file-organisation.instructions.md`](../.github/instructions/file-organisation.instructions.md).
+The table below is a quick-reference for the most common placement decisions:
+
+| Asset type | Belongs in |
+| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
+| GitHub-native governance (templates, labels, workflows) | `.github/` |
+| Repo-local Copilot / agent instructions | `.github/instructions/` or `.github/custom-instructions.md` |
+| Portable reusable instruction files | `instructions/` |
+| Portable agent specifications | `agents/` |
+| Portable skills with `SKILL.md` entrypoints | `skills/` |
+| Portable agentic workflows | `workflows/` |
+| Portable plugin bundles | `plugins/` |
+| JSON/YAML validation schemas | `.schemas/` |
+| Reports, audits, metrics outputs | `.github/reports/{category}/` |
+| Active project artefacts | `.github/projects/active/{slug}/` |
+| Permanent human documentation | `docs/` |
+| Temporary scratch files | `.github/tmp/` (clean up before PR) |
+
+When a README or issue mentions a "migration rule", add the durable mapping to
+this file and link back here so contributors have a single authoritative
+reference.

Subject: [PATCH 08/12] fix(ci): broaden .lycheeignore patterns to match bare
 domain URLs

Lychee regex-matches each ignore line as a substring. The previous patterns
used trailing slashes (e.g. https://lightspeedwp.agency/) which did not match
bare domain URLs (https://lightspeedwp.agency) in profile/README.md badge
links. Drop trailing slashes so each pattern covers both the root URL and all
sub-paths.

 - Replaced deprecated MCP tool references (`create_issue`, `update_issue`, `get_issue`) with current equivalents (`issue_write`, `issue_read`) across agent specs and prompt files. Closes [#52](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/issues/52). ([#455](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/pull/455))

Closes [#21](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/issues/21). ([#460](https://github.com/lightspeedwp/.github/pull/460))
 - Updated `.coderabbit.yml`: corrected schema URL to `docs.coderabbit.ai/schema/schema.v2.json`; added `language: en-GB`, `inheritance: true`, `chat.auto_reply: true`; added `reviews.profile: chill` and `reviews.review_details: true`; hardened workflow path instructions with security guidance (least-privilege permissions, secret injection prevention, action pinning); added `instructions/**` and `CHANGELOG.md` path instructions; expanded path filters.

Subject: [PATCH 10/12] fix(ci): restore plain-URL syntax in .lycheeignore; add
 lsx-demo-theme exclusion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Angle-bracket wrapping (<https://...>) is not valid in lychee's .lycheeignore —
each line must be a plain URL or regex. The angle brackets prevented every
ignore pattern from matching, causing lychee to attempt all external URLs.

Also adds https://github.com/lightspeedwp/lsx-demo-theme to cover the
auto-generated readme-regen footer in scripts/README.md which links to that
repo's contributors page.
