`harmless` pointed CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR at an empty temp directory and left the
working directory where `go test` put it. The walk has two anchors, so the
second one carried the fixture back up into this repository, which has a
`.kettle/` marker of its own — gitignored, and therefore present in every
developer's checkout and in no clone. The run resolved `login: noodles` from it
and then failed against the fixture's empty config home.
TestRunPublishesFromTheEnvironmentWithNoProjectInSight is precisely the test
that is about resolving nothing at all, and it passed only while nobody had run
`kettle init` here.

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.
