Miguel_LZPFandBret Mogilefsky e4187d0054 feat: add cross-tool orientation, CI schema validation, and Claude Code surfaces
Adds the contributor- and AI-tool-facing infrastructure on top of the
modular docs from the previous commit. Lands AGENTS.md as the canonical
cross-tool orientation (read natively by Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Aider,
Cline, Continue, Cody, Devin, Replit Agent, and Claude Code), flips
CLAUDE.md to a 22-line pointer that uses Claude Code's @-import to
inline AGENTS.md, wires up plugin.json validation in CI, and adds the
Claude-specific automation surfaces under .claude/.

Cross-tool orientation:
  AGENTS.md (178 lines) — single source of truth: architecture, running
    the app, testing, git workflow, versioning, song formats, frontend
    and backend conventions, plugin authoring index, first-hour
    pitfalls, verification, house rules.
  CLAUDE.md (22 lines) — Claude Code memory file. Uses @AGENTS.md
    import (recursion depth 5) so the canonical content is inlined
    without duplication. Lists .claude/ surfaces.
  .github/copilot-instructions.md — Copilot custom instructions
    format; points at AGENTS.md and docs/PLUGIN_AUTHORING.md.
  .cursorrules — not added. Cursor reads AGENTS.md natively in 2026
    and .cursorrules is legacy.

Contribution hygiene (.github/):
  PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — summary, linked issue, test plan, DCO
    and conventional-commit reminders. No AI-disclosure section.
  ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug.yml — version, deployment, OS, plugins enabled,
    repro, logs (linked to docs/diagnostics-bundle-spec.md for
    redaction guidance).
  ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature.yml — problem, proposed, alternatives,
    surface, plugin-author impact, license check.
  ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml — disables blank issues; redirects
    plugin issues to plugin repos and security to the private
    advisory flow.

CI:
  .github/workflows/validate-plugins.yml — runs on changes to
    plugins/*, schema/, CONTRIBUTING.md, the test file, or the
    workflow itself. Installs jsonschema and pytest, validates every
    plugins/*/plugin.json against schema/plugin.schema.json, and runs
    the license-allowlist subset check.
  tests/test_plugin_schema.py — 8 parametrized tests: schema is
    well-formed, the 3 in-tree manifests validate, manifest id
    matches its parent directory name, schema license enum is a
    subset of CONTRIBUTING's curated allowlist.
  requirements-test.txt — append jsonschema>=4.0.
  .github/workflows/sync-version.yml — comment retargeted to
    AGENTS.md "Versioning" section.

Claude Code surfaces (.claude/):
  README.md — layout explanation. Spec-kit owns skills/speckit-*;
    repo-specific skills sit alongside. Hooks off by default;
    settings.json carries a commented opt-in example.
  skills/plugin-scaffold/SKILL.md — generates a plugin skeleton for
    type in {visualization, overlay, settings-only, routes-only}.
  skills/plugin-validate/SKILL.md — local pre-push check: validates
    plugin.json against schema, asserts declared files exist,
    enforces license allowlist.
  rules/plugin-author.md — globs scoped to plugins/**. Encodes the
    contracts from docs/PLUGIN_AUTHORING.md so AI suggestions don't
    drift from them (manifest required, context[\"log\"] over print,
    load_sibling over bare imports, playSong await discipline,
    settings.server_files conventions).
  agents/slopsmith-reviewer.md — plugin-aware reviewer subagent;
    invoke with @slopsmith-reviewer. 12-item checklist mirrors the
    rule and the schema.
  settings.json — empty hooks block plus a commented PostToolUse
    example for opt-in plugin.json validation on save.

Inbound-ref updates (files we own):
  README.md — \"AI Agent Guide\" points at AGENTS.md and notes
    .claude/ and copilot-instructions are tool-specific.
  CONTRIBUTING.md — \"Plugin System in CLAUDE.md\" -> docs/ and
    schema/; \"Git Workflow\" -> AGENTS.md#git-workflow.
  docs/sloppak-spec.md — plugin-system table cell -> docs/.

Out of scope (intentionally untouched):
  plugins/highway_3d/README.md (gitlink — plugin owns its docs).
  .specify/memory/constitution.md and other spec-kit artefacts
    (spec-kit owns that surface; CLAUDE.md still resolves
    transitively via the @-import).

Verification:
  pytest -q                                     # backend + schema tests pass
  python -c \"import json,glob,jsonschema; s=json.load(open('schema/plugin.schema.json')); [jsonschema.validate(json.load(open(p)), s) for p in sorted(glob.glob('plugins/*/plugin.json'))]\"

# Plugin authoring rules
These rules apply only when editing files under `plugins/**`. They encode the contracts described in [`docs/PLUGIN_AUTHORING.md`](../../docs/PLUGIN_AUTHORING.md) so AI suggestions don't drift from them.
## Manifest
- **`plugin.json` is required** and must validate against [`schema/plugin.schema.json`](../../schema/plugin.schema.json). Required fields: `id`, `name`. The `id` must match the parent directory name (the loader keys discovery by directory; drift breaks plugin lookup).
- **License must come from the curated allowlist** if the plugin is intended for the curated list. See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](../../CONTRIBUTING.md) "Plugin licensing".
- **`type: "visualization"`** requires a `script` field exporting `window.slopsmithViz_<id>`. See [`docs/plugin-visualization-contracts.md`](../../docs/plugin-visualization-contracts.md).
## Backend (`routes.py`)
- **Use `context["log"]`, never `print()` or `traceback.print_exc()`.** The CI workflow blocks `print(` and `traceback.print_exc(` in `server.py` / `lib/`; plugin code should follow the same rule. The provided logger is a stdlib `logging.Logger` namespaced to `slopsmith.plugin.<id>` with correlation IDs, JSON mode, and rotation already wired. See [`docs/plugin-logging.md`](../../docs/plugin-logging.md).
- **Multi-file plugins must use `context["load_sibling"]("<module>")`**, not bare `from <module> import X`. Two plugins shipping a same-named helper collide via `sys.modules`. See [`docs/plugin-sibling-imports.md`](../../docs/plugin-sibling-imports.md).
- **`setup(app, context)` is the required entry.** Don't run side effects at import time.
## Frontend (`screen.js`)
- **Wrap in an IIFE** — `(function () { 'use strict'; ... })();`. Frontend scripts share global scope; leaking variables collides with other plugins.
- **Hook `window.playSong` carefully** — always call the original, always `await` it. Wrappers run outermost-first; awaiting yields to the event loop and WebSocket messages can arrive before the outer wrapper finishes setup. Use `highway.getSongInfo()` as a fallback rather than relying solely on `_onReady`.
- **Hook `window.showScreen`** — clean up your plugin's state when the user leaves the player screen.
- **Use `window.slopsmith.emit` / `on`** for cross-plugin communication. Don't poll other plugins' globals.
- **Register shortcuts with `window.registerShortcut({ key, scope, handler })`** and clean up with `window.unregisterShortcut(key, scope)` — pass the same scope you registered with (default `'global'` won't match `'player'` / `'plugin-*'`). For panel-scoped registries, prefer `panel.clearShortcuts()`. See [`docs/plugin-keyboard-shortcuts.md`](../../docs/plugin-keyboard-shortcuts.md).
## State and config
- **`localStorage` keys must be prefixed with the plugin id** to avoid collisions.
- **`settings.server_files` declares config-dir paths the plugin wants included in the Settings export/import flow.** Relpaths only — no `..`, no abs paths, no backslashes. See [`docs/plugin-manifest.md`](../../docs/plugin-manifest.md).
- **`diagnostics.server_files` / `diagnostics.callable`** declares what enters the Export Diagnostics bundle. Keep payloads under 100 KB and don't include secrets. See [`docs/plugin-diagnostics.md`](../../docs/plugin-diagnostics.md).
## Visualization specifics
When `plugin.json` declares `"type": "visualization"`:
- **Factory must be `window.slopsmithViz_<id>`** where `<id>` matches `plugin.json`.
- **Factory must return a fresh object on each call** — splitscreen creates N instances.
- **The renderer owns its `getContext()` call.** Declare `contextType: '2d'` or `'webgl2'` on the returned object so the highway can swap the canvas element when needed (`getContext` is one-shot per canvas).
- **`draw(bundle)` receives difficulty-filtered arrays** — never read from `_filteredNotes` or other internals.
See [`docs/plugin-visualization-contracts.md`](../../docs/plugin-visualization-contracts.md) for the full lifecycle and the Overlay + Note-state-provider contracts.
## Testing
When changing plugin internals, add or update a test under `tests/` (Python) or `tests/js/` (Node) or `tests/browser/` (Playwright). See [`docs/testing-plugins.md`](../../docs/testing-plugins.md) for fixtures (`isolate_logging`, `reset_plugin_state`).
