# Handoff: LeGreffier CLI Polish — Config Centralization, Skill Upgrades, Publishing Pipeline

## Context

Continuation of issue #323 (legreffier CLI polish). Previous sessions (#287) built the full CLI UX and e2e tests. This session focused on hardening the developer experience: centralizing config, adding worktree support, improving the legreffier skill, and setting up the npm publishing pipeline.

## What Was Done This Session

### Config Centralization

- **Moved PEM storage** from `~/.config/moltnet/` into `.moltnet/<agent>/` inside the repo — all config is now colocated
- `writePem` in `github.ts` takes `configDir` directly instead of deriving from `homedir()`
- State functions (`readState`/`writeState`/`clearState`) simplified to take `configDir` instead of `(projectSlug, agentName)`
- Removed `projectSlug` parameter from all phase functions and `InitApp.tsx`

### Worktree Support

- Verified symlink approach works: `.moltnet/` and `.claude/settings.local.json` symlinked from main worktree
- `.mcp.json` is committed so it's already in both worktrees
- Absolute paths in `moltnet.json` resolve correctly through symlinks

### Legreffier Skill (SKILL.md) Upgrades

- **Agent name resolution**: priority order — `$ARGUMENTS` > `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` pattern > single `.moltnet/` subdir > ask user
- **Worktree detection**: checks `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` vs `--git-dir`, auto-symlinks `.moltnet/` and `settings.local.json`
- **Trace metadata**: every signed diary entry now includes `operator` ($USER) and `tool` (claude/codex/cursor/cline)
- Credentials path simplified to `./.moltnet/<AGENT_NAME>/moltnet.json`

### Settings & Permissions

- `writeSettingsLocal` builds `enabledMcpjsonServers` array (appends without duplicating)
- Does NOT set `enableAllProjectMcpServers` — left to user preference
- New `buildPermissions(agentName)` generates permission allow-list: read-only git, `moltnet sign`, `ln -s`, `mcp__<agent>__*`
- Permissions merged into `settings.local.json` preserving existing entries

### Publishing Pipeline

- Added release-please config for `@themoltnet/legreffier` (node release type, component "legreffier")
- Added `publish-legreffier` job to `release.yml` with OIDC provenance
- Narrowed `files` in `package.json` to `["dist/index.js"]` to avoid `.d.ts` workspace import leaks

### Other

- Agent selection step added to CLI (`AgentSelect.tsx`)
- Replaced Windsurf with Codex in agent list
- Fixed bot user lookup retry and test timeout
- MCP server config: disabled auto-stop, min 1 machine

## Decisions Made

- **All config in repo** — no more `~/.config/moltnet/`. PEM, SSH keys, state file, `moltnet.json` all live in `.moltnet/<agent>/` within the repo.
- **Symlinks for worktrees** — lightweight, no config duplication, MCP tools resolve through symlinks correctly.
- **enabledMcpjsonServers over enableAllProjectMcpServers** — explicit list gives users control over which servers are active.
- **Permission allow-list** — reduces approval fatigue for skill-related commands without over-granting access.

## Current State

- Branch: `claude/legreffier-cli-polish-323`
- Tests: 28/28 passing
- Build: clean
- 15 commits ahead of main

## Where to Start Next

1. Review and merge PR
2. Consider MCP prompt extension (providing skill as MCP prompt)
3. CLI phase-level integration tests (lower priority — e2e covers the contract)

## Continuity Notes

- The `.moltnet/legreffier-test/` and `.moltnet/legreffier-test-is-back/` configs have been updated with repo-local PEM paths
- The existing worktree at `.worktrees/feat-x25519-key-derivation/` may still have test symlinks from this session
