There is no CI: the instance has no act_runner and none is planned, so releases
are cut by hand. That makes `make check` the only thing standing between a
mistake and the tracker, and it is one command: gofmt, vet, the suite with the
cache defeated, `go mod verify`, a vendored build, and `kettle gen skills
--check`. The last one is the invariant worth having — the plugin's SKILL.md
command reference is generated from the binary's registry, so a flag that
changed cannot ship with documentation that recommends the old one.
`cli/cmd/release` publishes to Gitea using the same SDK the binary already
vendors, which is a pleasing thing to be able to say: nothing third-party
handles the artifacts. It is a second binary rather than a `kettle` subcommand
on purpose — `kettle`'s command tree is what generates the plugin's skills, so a
verb there ships to every operator, and publishing a release is build
infrastructure. It is idempotent end to end: an existing release for the tag is
reused, an asset of the same name is replaced rather than doubled, and a retried
run converges instead of duplicating.
`make release` refuses three things, each with its own message: a dirty working
tree, a TAG that is not what `git describe` reports, and a tag the remote does
not have. A release built from uncommitted code is unreproducible and nobody
finds out until they need to reproduce it.
`kettle version` reports the stamp, the toolchain and the VCS revision. The
default is `dev`, and a hand build says so and means it — a binary out of
somebody's working tree is not a release and must not claim to be one.

BREAKING: the plugin is `kettle`, not `tea`, and its commands are `/kettle:*`.
It also now needs a binary on PATH that it did not need before; the README and
every skill say how to get one and what a missing one looks like.
The plugin was 3800 lines of Python doing what a compiled binary does better,
and the name pointed at a tool that no longer takes part: `tea` is Gitea's CLI,
and since the transport moved into the binary nothing here shells out to it for
issues at all. A plugin named after it was going to keep suggesting otherwise.
Deleted: 19 scripts, the 14-file unittest suite, and the tea-guard hook. The
guard blocked any `tea` invocation that would run under a login the model picked
instead of the operator; the binary holds its own credentials and reads the
pinned login out of the project's own config, so that failure is no longer
expressible and there is nothing left to police. agents-sync stays — it is about
AGENTS.md symlinks and has nothing to do with any of this.
What the plugin keeps is what only a plugin can carry: the rules an operator
states and a binary cannot enforce. `init` still refuses to run inside a linked
worktree and still may not be model-invoked, because which directory is the
project is a statement a person makes. The issue format reference stays here and
stays the source of truth. The runner subagent is still for batches and still
may not decide what an issue says.
The command reference in the issue, sync and project skills is GENERATED from
the binary's own command registry, between markers, so a flag that changed
cannot ship with a skill that recommends the old one. `kettle gen skills
--check` exits non-zero when they drift. The generator owns the region and
nothing outside it: the frontmatter description, which is what decides whether a
skill loads at all, stays hand-written.
`use` survives and is the one place `tea` is still named — for releases,
webhooks and actions, which kettle does not cover. Its instruction to write
`--login "$GITEA_LOGIN"` and let the hook substitute the pin was true until this
commit and is now rewritten: `tea` keeps its own configuration, kettle keeps
its own, and configuring one configures nothing in the other.

`issue.store_root` and `_gitea.PAYLOAD_ROOT` were anchored on `__file__`, on
the reasoning that where an installation keeps its files is a fact about the
installation. That holds for an installation and not for a store.
Installed, the plugin therefore resolved every project's issues inside its own
directory — and a plugin cache is versioned, so the store moved on each
update:
~/.claude/plugins/cache/tea/tea/2.0.0/tmp/issues 5 files, 2 origin: local
~/.claude/plugins/cache/tea/tea/2.1.0/tmp/issues 12 files
~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-skills/tea/2.2.0/ empty, the current one
Issues written from one project were invisible from the next, and an `origin:
local` file — which IS the issue, the only copy — was stranded a version bump
at a time. Two of them were.
The store is a fact about the project, exactly as the login pin is. So the
anchor is now an explicit marker an operator creates, `.tea/`, searched for up
from $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR and then cwd — the pin's order, so the two cannot
disagree about which project this is. Inferred markers were tried and are worse
than useless here: `.git` is in every clone including this plugin's own, and
the agents-sync hook writes an AGENTS.md next to every AGENTS.md, so the plugin
root always carried one and cwd never got a turn.
With no marker anywhere, `store_root()` is None and every entry point reports
which directories it searched. A store in a plausible-looking directory is the
failure this replaces, so nothing falls back to one.
- `.tea/` holds the store and the transport's scratchpad: `.tea/issues`,
`.tea/payload`. One marker, one walk, one gitignore line.
- `issue_init.py` creates it, moves an old `tmp/issues` store in rather than
copying, adds `.tea/` to `.gitignore`, and refuses to pick a winner when both
sides hold the same file name.
- A linked worktree has no marker — it is gitignored — and reaches the main
checkout's store by the hop the pin already took.
- `parents`, `gitdir_of` and `main_worktree` move from `pin.py` into the domain
and `pin.py` imports them. The domain depends on nothing, so it is the layer
all three callers can borrow from, and the walk stays written once: the
guard, the transport and the store cannot disagree about a directory.
The suite stopped copying the script layers into its fixtures. That is what hid
this: with the scripts inside the fixture, the installation and the project
were the same directory. They are now deliberately far apart, and a regression
test asserts the plugin tree gains no files when commands run against a project
somewhere else.

tea and tdl were two repositories, each carrying its own
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json — two marketplaces to register for what
is one collection. Fold them into one.
The repo root is now the marketplace and nothing else: a single
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json whose entries point at ./plugins/tea and
./plugins/tdl. A plugin's root is its own directory under plugins/, so
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} still resolves inside it and every path a plugin
uses stays relative to itself — the hooks and the test roots needed no
adjustment beyond the move.
tea's files move with git mv, so its history and blame follow. tdl
arrives as a plain copy; its history stays in claude-skills/threedotslab.
test_payload_root asserted `tmp/` was ignored by REPO/.gitignore. The
rule is that tmp/ is ignored, not which file says so, and git reads every
.gitignore on the way up — so the test now walks up to the repo root the
same way git does.
