feat(pipeline): skip extraction when the source has not changed (#105 )

Ingest now stamps source_hash — sha256 of the ingested body, frontmatter excluded — onto the source page, and compares it before doing any work. An unchanged source returns Skipped with no LLM call at all. This is cost and signal, not correctness: #103 already made a re-ingest byte-identical, so a repeated run was harmless but not free — a full extraction over every chunk to produce a result that merges to nothing. Building this first would have put idempotency in the guard rather than in the write, which is the wrong dependency direction. Body-only hashing on purpose. A re-crawl that stamps a new fetch date has not changed the source, and treating that as drift would re-extract the whole corpus every time a crawler ran. A missing or unreadable hash always means "extract": a missed skip costs one extraction, a wrong skip loses an update silently, and silence is the failure mode this repo keeps paying for. The skip is reported (Result.Skipped plus a warning naming the hash), not silent — a run that does nothing must say so, or "the pipeline is fine" and "the pipeline stopped working" look identical (#107). Storing the hash required settling who owns which frontmatter field. #103 made the on-disk block win wholesale, which protects human-set metadata from a regenerating writer but froze fields the generator legitimately owns. wiki.Merge now refreshes an explicit generatorOwned allowlist — last_updated and source_hash — and keeps everything else on disk. An allowlist rather than a carve-out, so a field nobody has thought about stays human-owned by default. That also retires the last_updated limitation #103 shipped with. Refs #105, #103, #107, brain#21.

   timestamp generated artifacts. Do not reach for a branch.
   Branch+PR flow carries documented costs on solo repos: merging auto-closes gated
   issues, review comments live on a thread separate from the issue's, and a
   merged-and-deleted branch cannot be amended (brain:
   `gitea-pr-merge-autoclose-and-review-comment-footguns`). Those are the price of
   the `risk/medium`+ lane — paid deliberately, not incurred by accident.
   **Exception — external contributor or client four-eyes requirement:** Use PR flow
   when a human reviewer outside the project is required. Document the reason in
   PROJECT.md.
   **Exception — a GitOps repo where a branch cannot be reconciled.** In a repo whose
   deployment watches one branch (`mathias/infra`: Flux watches `main`), a branch is
   invisible to the thing that applies it. A `risk/medium` change to `alerts.yaml` or
   `litellm-config.yaml` can be linted on a branch but never *exercised* there, so a
   PR would buy a review of a state that was never deployed.
   There, `risk/medium`+ work stays on `main` and instead requires a **recorded
   adversarial review pass before the push** — `skills:pr-gatekeeper` or equivalent,
   reviewing the staged diff. **The reviewer's verdict goes in the issue, not a PR
   thread.** No verdict recorded means the lane was not used, and saying "the gate was
   green" is not the same claim.
   Be honest about what this is: a recorded *independent* pass, not four-eyes in the
   sense `assessor-loop` §4.1 means for a regulated organisation, because the reviewer
   is an agent. It is more than the repo had and less than the model it mirrors; do not
   describe it as the stronger property. (infra#470, decided 2026-09-29.)
   This lane depends on the `risk/` label being right. A label that triggers a heavier
   lane is load-bearing, not cosmetic — if work that belongs in it is unlabelled, the
   lane silently does not apply.

   the code is not the end of the task; capturing it is. Run this unprompted:

   - Surface the brain entries and issue numbers in the closing summary so the
     trail is auditable.
   **Chat is not a durable store. Never rely on Mathias remembering anything.**
   Every gap, caveat, risk, open question and next step must land in one of four
   places before the turn ends: **the brain**, **a repo** (code, docs, ADR),
   **a tracker issue**, or **a plan file**. A finding stated only in conversation is
   lost the moment the session closes — and this estate has repeatedly proved that a
   remembered convention is an unreliable control.
   This applies hardest to what is tempting to leave as a closing remark: "worth
   knowing X isn't enforced yet", "this is a convention, not a gate", "we should
   revisit Y". Those are exactly the items that need a locator. If it is worth
   saying in a summary, it is worth writing where it can be found again without you.
 7. **Finish what's closable — only involve me for a genuine call.** If a
   tracker issue, PR, or checklist item is demonstrably resolved — the fix
   landed, the state changed, you verified it live — close/merge/check it off
   in the same turn. Don't leave it open "for the record" or park it waiting
   on me to confirm something that already happened; that's bookkeeping, not
   a decision. Reserve asking me (`AskUserQuestion`, a `DECISION NEEDED`
   comment, or otherwise pausing) for when it's genuinely mine to call:
   irreversible or prod/host-impacting actions, a real judgment call with no
   clearly-better option, ambiguous intent, or anything secret-writes/
   destructive-git already gate. Before claiming something is closable,
   verify it live (re-check the issue, re-run the command) rather than
   trusting your own earlier summary (brain: `filed-issue-not-same-as-fixed`).
 8. **Control code needs an adversary, not a checklist.** Code whose job is to
   refuse, deny, gate or contain is not adequately verified by a green gate.
   Rule 5 makes CI the quality gate and that holds for ordinary work — but a
   passing suite only asserts what its author already thought of, and for a
   control the author is precisely the person whose imagination just failed.
   Measured on `dispatch#75`: five review rounds, five real escapes verified by
   execution, and **CI was green on every one of them** while `git rm
   ././.dispatch-allow` deleted the file the control existed to protect. So
   route this work through a review with authority to block, instructed to
   verify by execution rather than by reading the implementation. Expect to be
   blocked more than once; that is the control working, not the reviewer being
   difficult. (brain: `a-green-gate-is-not-evidence-for-control-code`; the
   practices live in the `pr-gatekeeper` agent.)
 9. **A test's name must not claim more than its assertions prove.** Name a test
   after the mechanism it observes, not the goal it serves.
   `DoesNotInheritEnv` is honest; `IsContained` is a claim the test cannot
   support. This is not pedantry about naming — when name and assertion
   diverge, the name wins in the reader's head and the gap becomes invisible,
   which is what lets the defect survive review. Found three times in one PR,
   twice in tests written to fix the previous instance of it; each passed while
   the thing it was named for was exploitable. If you cannot name the mechanism,
   you do not yet know what the test observes.

 something this file cannot (infra's Flux constraint is real and not visible from

 This replaces the previous wording, which said rules here and in `PROJECT.md` both
 apply *"unconditionally"*. That was not a tiebreak but a contradiction, and it went
 unnoticed until rule 5 and infra's "never create feature branches" had to be obeyed
 at the same time (infra#470). A standard can hold two individually sensible clauses
 that are jointly unsatisfiable, and survive for as long as everyone reads it
 charitably — the same failure the Inception Sprint Oath's G6 had.

 **Claude Code** installs the repo as a plugin from the marketplace the same repo hosts. That path also carries the `secret-guard` and `pre-task-ritual` hooks and the brain/gitea/infra MCP servers, which symlinks cannot:
 ```
 /plugin marketplace add https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/skills.git
 /plugin install skills@mathias
 ```
 Skills are **namespaced** under Claude Code: load `tdd` as `skills:tdd`. The trigger table below uses bare names — prefix them.
 **Crush, Pi and OpenCode** have no plugin system and are wired by `install.sh` as one directory symlink per harness via `~/.agents/skills`. Do not clone the checkout into `~/dev`: that folder is iCloud-shared between the Macs and spans two path roots (`/Users/mathias` vs `/home/mathias` on koala), so a checkout there is a git working tree with two concurrent writers, and any absolute symlink stored in it is broken on one side by construction (skills#23). Leave `SKILLS_CHECKOUT_DIR` at its host-local default.

   Branch+PR flow carries documented costs on solo repos: merging auto-closes gated
   issues, review comments live on a thread separate from the issue's, and a
   merged-and-deleted branch cannot be amended (brain:
   `gitea-pr-merge-autoclose-and-review-comment-footguns`). Those are the price of
   the `risk/medium`+ lane — paid deliberately, not incurred by accident.
   **Exception — external contributor or client four-eyes requirement:** Use PR flow
   when a human reviewer outside the project is required. Document the reason in
   PROJECT.md.
   **Exception — a GitOps repo where a branch cannot be reconciled.** In a repo whose
   deployment watches one branch (`mathias/infra`: Flux watches `main`), a branch is
   invisible to the thing that applies it. A `risk/medium` change to `alerts.yaml` or
   `litellm-config.yaml` can be linted on a branch but never *exercised* there, so a
   PR would buy a review of a state that was never deployed.
   There, `risk/medium`+ work stays on `main` and instead requires a **recorded
   adversarial review pass before the push** — `skills:pr-gatekeeper` or equivalent,
   reviewing the staged diff. **The reviewer's verdict goes in the issue, not a PR
   thread.** No verdict recorded means the lane was not used, and saying "the gate was
   green" is not the same claim.
   Be honest about what this is: a recorded *independent* pass, not four-eyes in the
   sense `assessor-loop` §4.1 means for a regulated organisation, because the reviewer
   is an agent. It is more than the repo had and less than the model it mirrors; do not
   describe it as the stronger property. (infra#470, decided 2026-09-29.)
   This lane depends on the `risk/` label being right. A label that triggers a heavier
   lane is load-bearing, not cosmetic — if work that belongs in it is unlabelled, the
   lane silently does not apply.

   the code is not the end of the task; capturing it is. Run this unprompted:

   - Surface the brain entries and issue numbers in the closing summary so the
     trail is auditable.
   **Chat is not a durable store. Never rely on Mathias remembering anything.**
   Every gap, caveat, risk, open question and next step must land in one of four
   places before the turn ends: **the brain**, **a repo** (code, docs, ADR),
   **a tracker issue**, or **a plan file**. A finding stated only in conversation is
   lost the moment the session closes — and this estate has repeatedly proved that a
   remembered convention is an unreliable control.
   This applies hardest to what is tempting to leave as a closing remark: "worth
   knowing X isn't enforced yet", "this is a convention, not a gate", "we should
   revisit Y". Those are exactly the items that need a locator. If it is worth
   saying in a summary, it is worth writing where it can be found again without you.
 7. **Finish what's closable — only involve me for a genuine call.** If a
   tracker issue, PR, or checklist item is demonstrably resolved — the fix
   landed, the state changed, you verified it live — close/merge/check it off
   in the same turn. Don't leave it open "for the record" or park it waiting
   on me to confirm something that already happened; that's bookkeeping, not
   a decision. Reserve asking me (`AskUserQuestion`, a `DECISION NEEDED`
   comment, or otherwise pausing) for when it's genuinely mine to call:
   irreversible or prod/host-impacting actions, a real judgment call with no
   clearly-better option, ambiguous intent, or anything secret-writes/
   destructive-git already gate. Before claiming something is closable,
   verify it live (re-check the issue, re-run the command) rather than
   trusting your own earlier summary (brain: `filed-issue-not-same-as-fixed`).
 8. **Control code needs an adversary, not a checklist.** Code whose job is to
   refuse, deny, gate or contain is not adequately verified by a green gate.
   Rule 5 makes CI the quality gate and that holds for ordinary work — but a
   passing suite only asserts what its author already thought of, and for a
   control the author is precisely the person whose imagination just failed.
   Measured on `dispatch#75`: five review rounds, five real escapes verified by
   execution, and **CI was green on every one of them** while `git rm
   ././.dispatch-allow` deleted the file the control existed to protect. So
   route this work through a review with authority to block, instructed to
   verify by execution rather than by reading the implementation. Expect to be
   blocked more than once; that is the control working, not the reviewer being
   difficult. (brain: `a-green-gate-is-not-evidence-for-control-code`; the
   practices live in the `pr-gatekeeper` agent.)
 9. **A test's name must not claim more than its assertions prove.** Name a test
   after the mechanism it observes, not the goal it serves.
   `DoesNotInheritEnv` is honest; `IsContained` is a claim the test cannot
   support. This is not pedantry about naming — when name and assertion
   diverge, the name wins in the reader's head and the gap becomes invisible,
   which is what lets the defect survive review. Found three times in one PR,
   twice in tests written to fix the previous instance of it; each passed while
   the thing it was named for was exploitable. If you cannot name the mechanism,
   you do not yet know what the test observes.

 something this file cannot (infra's Flux constraint is real and not visible from
 here), and it must say why because a bare override is indistinguishable from drift.
 This replaces the previous wording, which said rules here and in `PROJECT.md` both
 apply *"unconditionally"*. That was not a tiebreak but a contradiction, and it went
 unnoticed until rule 5 and infra's "never create feature branches" had to be obeyed
 at the same time (infra#470). A standard can hold two individually sensible clauses
 that are jointly unsatisfiable, and survive for as long as everyone reads it
 charitably — the same failure the Inception Sprint Oath's G6 had.

 **Claude Code** installs the repo as a plugin from the marketplace the same repo hosts. That path also carries the `secret-guard` and `pre-task-ritual` hooks and the brain/gitea/infra MCP servers, which symlinks cannot:
 ```
 /plugin marketplace add https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/skills.git
 /plugin install skills@mathias
 ```
 Skills are **namespaced** under Claude Code: load `tdd` as `skills:tdd`. The trigger table below uses bare names — prefix them.
 **Crush, Pi and OpenCode** have no plugin system and are wired by `install.sh` as one directory symlink per harness via `~/.agents/skills`. Do not clone the checkout into `~/dev`: that folder is iCloud-shared between the Macs and spans two path roots (`/Users/mathias` vs `/home/mathias` on koala), so a checkout there is a git working tree with two concurrent writers, and any absolute symlink stored in it is broken on one side by construction (skills#23). Leave `SKILLS_CHECKOUT_DIR` at its host-local default.
 Check a host with `task doctor` in the skills repo; it also runs automatically at session start via the plugin.
