Framework specialist restoration (PRD-4, ADR WP-83): claude-copilot collapsed ~16 specialists->8 generics in v4.0.0 (20097d9); originals preserved in .claude/agents/_archive/ (uxd,uids,uid,ind-absent,cco,cw,sec,cs,cpa). DISTRIBUTION BUG: update-project.md Step8 does 'rm -f .claude/agents/*.md' then flat-copy -> clobbers any project-restored specialist. setup/update use *.md glob so _archive subdir is NOT copied. Fix=roster-aware sync via VERSION.json agents manifest + ship fitness-check.sh + treat protocol/continue as project-owned. sec recommended AS AGENT (stride-dread SKILL.md already exists, @include it). Portable from method-copilot 30ac207: uxd/uids/cco/cw/ind. Recover from _archive: uid/cs/cpa/sec (modernize tools, drop skill_evaluate/knowledge_*). stride-dread SKILL.md EXISTS (brief said missing-false).
