Davide Barletta 74662cffad feat: update Bob integration to skills-based layout for Bob 2.0 (#3415)
* feat: update Bob integration to skills-based layout for Bob 2.0

Bob 2.0 replaces the command-based workflow (.bob/commands/*.md) with
a skills-based layout (.bob/skills/speckit-<name>/SKILL.md), matching
the pattern used by Claude Code, Codex, and other skills-first agents.

- Switch BobIntegration from MarkdownIntegration to SkillsIntegration
- Update folder/dir from .bob/commands to .bob/skills
- Change extension from .md to /SKILL.md (skills layout)
- Add --skills option (default: True) consistent with Codex pattern
- Update tests to inherit from SkillsIntegrationTests (28 tests pass)
- Bump catalog entry to version 2.0.0 with updated description

* feat(bob): address copilot comments, make skills layout default, demote legacy commands to opt-in

* fix(bob): honor legacy_commands in ai_skills persistence and add bob to ALWAYS_SLASH_AGENTS

- init.py: suppress ai_skills=True when --legacy-commands is passed so
  extensions and presets target .bob/commands, not .bob/skills
- _invocation_style.py: add 'bob' to ALWAYS_SLASH_AGENTS so init next-steps
  and hook invocations always show /speckit-<name> (skills is the default
  layout; no ai_skills flag required)

* fix(bob): extend IntegrationBase directly to avoid false isinstance(SkillsIntegration)

- bob/__init__.py: switch BobIntegration base from SkillsIntegration to
  IntegrationBase; add _BobSkillsHelper for skills-mode delegation; set
  invoke_separator='-' explicitly; set _skills_mode flag in setup() so
  consumers can derive the effective mode without isinstance checks
- _helpers.py: replace isinstance(integration, SkillsIntegration) guard
  with getattr(_skills_mode) so legacy-commands mode does not persist
  ai_skills=True
- _invocation_style.py: remove 'bob' from ALWAYS_SLASH_AGENTS — Bob 2.0
  skills are invoked via natural language, not /skill-name slash commands

* refactor(bob): resolve skills mode via base-class hooks + fix command-ref separators

Rework the dual-mode handling introduced for Bob 2.0 so an integration's
internal representation never leaks into shared init/install/upgrade code,
and fix the legacy command-reference separator surfaced in review.

Base-class contract:
- Add IntegrationBase.is_skills_mode(parsed_options) — the single hook the
  shared machinery consults to decide whether to persist ai_skills and render
  skill invocations. SkillsIntegration returns True; Copilot honors --skills /
  self._skills_mode; Bob returns `not legacy_commands`.
- Add IntegrationBase.invoke_separator_for_mode(skills_enabled) — resolves the
  command-ref separator from a project's persisted mode for registration paths
  that only have the ai_skills flag (no CLI parsed_options). Default is
  behavior-preserving; Bob maps skills->"-", legacy->".".
- BobIntegration stays on IntegrationBase (mirroring Copilot, the other
  dual-mode agent) and delegates setup() to internal _BobSkillsHelper /
  _BobMarkdownHelper. Removes the _skills_mode method and all
  isinstance(SkillsIntegration) / callable(_skills_mode) probing from
  _helpers.py and init.py.

Fix legacy separator (review feedback): CommandRegistrar.register_commands and
PresetManager._resolve_skill_command_refs previously read the single static
AGENT_CONFIGS[key]["invoke_separator"], so legacy .bob/commands/ extension and
preset command refs rendered /speckit-<cmd> instead of Bob 1.x /speckit.<cmd>.
Both now resolve the separator per project mode via invoke_separator_for_mode.

Tests: add regression coverage for the is_skills_mode / invoke_separator_for_mode
hooks and legacy extension command-ref separators; normalize a width-sensitive
workflow assertion to match its siblings. Full suite green.

* fix(bob,copilot): address review — preserve legacy layout, dual-mode separators, extension-skill token resolution

Addresses PR review 4716036212 (3 comments):

1. Bob legacy-install regression: `use`/`switch`/`upgrade` on an existing
   Bob 1.x project (only `.bob/commands/` on disk, no stored
   `legacy_commands`) called `is_skills_mode(None)` -> True and rewrote
   `ai_skills=True`, silently switching extension/command-reference handling
   to the skills layout. `is_skills_mode` now takes an optional `project_root`;
   Bob preserves an already-installed legacy layout until an explicit upgrade
   creates `.bob/skills/`. A fresh project still defaults to skills.

2. Copilot dual-mode separator: `invoke_separator_for_mode` was inherited
   from the base (mode-independent) and returned Copilot's static `.`, so
   preset/extension command refs in a Copilot skills project rendered
   `/speckit.<name>` instead of `/speckit-<name>`. Override it on Copilot to
   track the persisted `ai_skills` state, consistent with
   `build_command_invocation` and `effective_invoke_separator`.

3. Bob extension-skill command-ref tokens: verified that merging main's
   generic `_resolve_command_ref_tokens` (#3544) resolves Bob's tokens via
   the `CONDITIONAL_SLASH_AGENTS` path (`/speckit-<name>`); added Bob to the
   command-ref regression parametrize plus dedicated Bob use-path tests.

All tests pass (full suite green; merged with current main incl. #3544).

* fix(bob): resolve command-ref separator with project-aware mode before shared-infra refresh (review #3415)

The `use`/`switch` paths refresh shared infrastructure via
`_with_integration_setting()` / `_invoke_separator_for_integration()`,
which previously resolved the invoke separator through
`effective_invoke_separator` / `is_skills_mode` WITHOUT a project_root.
For a pre-PR Bob 1.x project (.bob/commands/ on disk, no stored options),
this defaulted to the skills "-" separator and rewrote rendered
shared-template command refs to /speckit-*, even though ai_skills stayed
false. Thread project_root through effective_invoke_separator, the two
runtime helpers, and every call site so Bob's on-disk legacy detection
governs the separator before shared infra is refreshed.

Add a rendered-shared-template regression test covering `use --force`.

* fix(bob): scope persisted ai_skills flag to active agent when resolving command-ref separator (review #3415)

`register_commands` runs once per detected agent, but the persisted
`ai_skills` flag describes only the active integration (`opts["ai"]`).
When another agent (e.g. Copilot) is active in skills mode while a
legacy `.bob/commands` layout is also present, the previous code passed
that global `True` to Bob's `invoke_separator_for_mode`, rewriting Bob
1.x command refs to `/speckit-*` instead of `/speckit.*`.

Only consult the persisted flag for the agent it describes
(`opts["ai"] == agent_name`); otherwise resolve the separator from the
agent's own project-aware `effective_invoke_separator(None, project_root)`.

Add regression tests covering the mismatched-active-agent case and a
control for Bob-active skills mode.

* fix(bob): detect Spec Kit layout from managed artifacts, not any skills dir (review #3415)

Two related mis-detections from review 4723246468:

1. `BobIntegration.is_skills_mode` treated the mere presence of a
   `.bob/skills/` directory as proof the project is skills-based. A legacy
   Spec Kit install (managed `.bob/commands/speckit.*.md`) that also carried
   unrelated Bob 2 skills would be misclassified as skills, so
   `integration use bob` persisted `ai_skills` and rewrote shared refs.
   Now the layout is inferred from managed Spec Kit artifacts: legacy/command
   mode only when managed `speckit.*.md` command files exist and no managed
   `speckit-*` skill dirs do.

2. The `register_commands` separator for an inactive agent used a disk-based
   `effective_invoke_separator(None, project_root)` fallback that could pick
   the skills separator even though the registrar writes the static command
   layout (`.bob/commands/*.md`). Inactive agents now resolve the separator
   from the registrar's actual output layout (`extension == "/SKILL.md"`),
   so command-layout files keep `/speckit.*` refs regardless of sibling dirs.

Update the affected hook/E2E tests to use managed artifacts and add
regression tests for the mixed-layout and inactive-registrar scenarios.

* fix(bob): apply managed-artifact detection on upgrade + consistent skill post-processing (review #3415)

Two issues from review 4723782860:

1. `BobIntegration.setup()` resolved the layout via `is_skills_mode(parsed_options)`
   WITHOUT `project_root`, so `integration upgrade bob` on a Bob 1.x install
   (managed `.bob/commands/speckit.*.md`, no stored options) ignored the
   existing command files, generated skills, and stale-deleted the legacy
   commands — silently migrating the project. Pass `project_root` so the same
   managed-artifact detection used by `use` also governs upgrades.

2. Only `_BobSkillsHelper` overrode `post_process_skill_content` to suppress
   the shared slash-command hook note. Preset/extension skill generators call
   that hook on the registered `BobIntegration`, which inherited
   `IntegrationBase`'s note-injecting default. Repeat the no-op (delegating to
   the skills helper) on the registered class so every Bob skill-generation
   path is consistent with intent-activated core Bob skills.

Add regression tests for the upgrade-preservation and post-processing paths.

* feat(bob): add --skills migration opt-in; fix separator + manifest loss (review #3415)

Address review #3415 (4724160183):

- Comment 1: Add an explicit `--skills` opt-in to BobIntegration. It forces
  the skills layout over on-disk auto-detection, giving legacy Bob 1.x
  installs a supported migration path
  (`integration upgrade bob --integration-options="--skills"`). `--skills`
  and `--legacy-commands` are mutually exclusive (clean exit-1 error).

- Comment 2: In CommandRegistrar.register_commands, derive the command-ref
  separator from the output layout (agent_config["extension"]) for the
  active agent too, not the persisted ai_skills flag. A command-layout file
  (.bob/commands/*.md, .github/agents/*.agent.md) always renders /speckit.*;
  only a /SKILL.md scaffold uses /speckit-*. Dual-layout agents (Bob,
  Copilot) write skills via their own setup()/skills path, so
  register_commands only ever emits their command-layout files.

- Comment 3: Update docs/reference/integrations.md Bob entry to document the
  skills-based default (.bob/skills/), the deprecated --legacy-commands
  opt-out, and the --skills migration path.

Also fix a latent manifest-loss bug surfaced by the migration path: the
upgrade Phase 2 stale-file cleanup built a throwaway manifest sharing the
integration key and called uninstall(), which always deleted
{key}.manifest.json. Any layout-shrinking upgrade (e.g. legacy->skills)
thus wiped the freshly-saved manifest, leaving the project untracked and
un-upgradeable. uninstall() now takes remove_manifest (default True); the
stale-cleanup pass passes False.

Adds regression tests for the --skills opt-in, mutual exclusion, corrected
active-agent separator, remove_manifest=False, and an end-to-end
legacy->skills migration that verifies the manifest survives and the
project remains upgradeable. Full suite: 4555 passed, 5 skipped.

* docs(agents): align token-resolution comment with output-layout separator rule (review #3415)

Address review #3415 (4725516805). The comment above resolve_command_refs
still described the removed state-based behavior ("resolve it from the
integration using the project's persisted skills state"). Update it to
describe the output-layout rule that register_commands now uses: _sep is
derived from the layout this registrar writes (a /SKILL.md scaffold uses the
skills separator; a command-layout file uses the command separator), not the
persisted ai_skills state. Comment-only change; no behavior change.

* fix(bob): reconcile extension artifacts on layout change (review #3415)

When a dual-mode agent (Bob) flips between the legacy commands layout and
the skills layout during `integration upgrade` (via `--skills` /
`--legacy-commands`), the old layout's extension command/skill files were
left orphaned: Phase 2 stale cleanup only removes files tracked by the
*integration* manifest, while extension artifacts are tracked in the
extension registry. Detect the layout flip by comparing whether the old vs
new manifest tracks a `/SKILL.md` scaffold, and when it changed, unregister
the agent's extension artifacts before the existing re-registration so they
are recreated in the new layout (and the per-agent registry is updated).

Preset artifacts are documented as a known, pre-existing cross-cutting gap:
no agent-scoped preset re-registration exists in use/switch/upgrade for any
agent, so reconciling them is out of scope for this Bob migration.

* fix(bob): reject layout migration when preset overrides are installed (review #3415)

A command↔skills layout change during `integration upgrade` cannot reconcile
preset artifacts: presets track their command/skill files in per-preset
`registered_commands`/`registered_skills` metadata, and there is no
agent-scoped preset re-registration anywhere in the CLI. Migrating would
delete a preset's old-layout files without recreating them in the new layout
and leave the preset registry claiming artifacts that no longer exist.

Detect the intended layout via `is_skills_mode` (so a plain same-layout
upgrade is unaffected) and, when it flips while preset overrides are
installed for the agent, reject the upgrade *before any mutation* with an
actionable error pointing at the remove → upgrade → reinstall workaround.
Extension artifacts are still reconciled for the safe (no-preset) case.

Adds a regression test and documents the migration caveat in the Bob
integration reference entry.

* fix(bob): restrict layout reconciliation to the active integration (review #3415)

`integration_upgrade` supports upgrading a secondary (non-active) integration,
but the layout-change extension reconciliation was unsafe there.
`ExtensionManager.unregister_agent_artifacts()` treats the unscoped
per-extension `registered_skills` list as belonging to the passed agent and,
when that agent's skills directory is absent, falls back to scanning every
agent's skills directory — so reconciling a secondary Bob layout flip could
delete or untrack the *active* agent's extension skills. The subsequent
re-registration cannot repair that because extension skill rendering is
intentionally scoped to the active agent (#2948).

Gate the unregister-before-register reconciliation on `installed_key == key`
so it only runs for the active integration. Secondary agents only ever have
extension command files (skills are active-agent-only), which the existing
re-registration rewrites in place, so skipping the unregister orphans nothing
new. Adds a regression test asserting a secondary Bob layout change leaves the
active agent's extension skill intact on disk and in the registry.

* fix(bob): fail closed when preset registry is unreadable (review #3415)

Address review 4744636079:

- _migrate_commands: the preset guard previously failed *open* — a
  registry read/parse error returned an empty "no presets" list, so a
  --force layout-changing upgrade could delete preset-overridden command
  files while their registry state was unknown. Read the registry file
  directly and raise _PresetRegistryUnreadableError on any read/parse
  failure or malformed structure, rejecting the migration before any
  mutation. A genuinely absent registry still returns [] (safe).

- bob: correct the is_skills_mode docstring — upgrade *does* run setup();
  disk detection is needed because legacy Bob 1.x installs never persisted
  a legacy_commands option, so the stored mode is unavailable.

- tests: add fail-closed E2E (corrupted registry rejected, valid-empty
  allowed) plus a unit test for _installed_presets_affecting_agent covering
  absent / corrupted / malformed / valid / affecting-agent cases.

* fix(bob): fail closed on malformed preset entries too (review #3415)

Address review 4745191015: the preset guard read a parseable registry but
silently skipped malformed per-preset metadata and treated a malformed
registered_commands value as "no matching artifacts". A registry such as
{"presets":{"p1":[]}} therefore allowed a layout migration even though p1's
ownership is unknown, risking deletion of preset-managed files. Now raise
_PresetRegistryUnreadableError for a non-dict preset entry, a non-dict
registered_commands, or a non-list registered_skills. Extend the unit test
to cover these malformed shapes.
