From c1a29a331b6ce5b156cc4dd2f2ff9d2f5071b751 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: HAL9000 Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:05:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: add showcase example for resource and skill management Align the resource and skill management showcase with review feedback: consistent resource type counts (101), explicit save-to-disk instructions before each skill registration command, metadata callouts for non-obvious behaviors (Config: unknown, capability summary zeros, local/linear-tracker 0-tool count), and README framing to acknowledge platform feature walkthroughs. Remove obsolete tdd_issue tags from coverage threshold Robot tests now that the noxfile enforces COVERAGE_THRESHOLD = 97. Harden the Skip If No LLM Keys E2E helper with per-key regex validation and log-level suppression to prevent credential leakage in CI logs. Restore the Resolve LLM Actor keyword that was inadvertently removed from common_e2e.resource. Update CHANGELOG.md and CONTRIBUTORS.md per project requirements.
