feat(plugins): manual-pages flow — manpage seed schema, flow docs, verification fixes - #971
Merged
Conversation
The bundled markdown for both tools carries a {{OSS_DISCOUNT_CODE}}
placeholder, and the tools returned it verbatim — users saw the literal
template string. The prior test asserted the placeholder, pinning the bug.
Substitute the code from cli.promo (single source of truth) on read, and
assert that no template braces ever reach tool output.
Fixes #958. Found during live verification for #952.

…ch total semantics - README, Docker guide, and character-handling guide referenced 'basic-memory sync', which no longer exists; point them at 'basic-memory reindex' (the incremental filesystem scan) instead. Part of #959. - Document in the search_notes docstring that vector/hybrid searches report total: 0 by design (no second counting pass) and that has_more is the pagination signal in those modes.

Picoschema for Unix-style manual pages as Basic Memory notes (#952): section/name/summary/verified frontmatter contracts, gotcha/bug/pattern observation categories, see_also relations. Opt-in seed — not wired into bm-setup's default seeding; documentation projects adopt it explicitly. Validated by just package-check-claude-code. The first consumer is the 'manual' project in the Basic Memory team workspace: 38 pages validating 38/38 against this schema.

What the manual is (notes conforming to the Manpage schema, SEE ALSO as relations), where it lives (team-workspace 'manual' project; opt-in seed schema for any project), the verification discipline (examples must run, playground rule, verified stamps, schema-validate as linter), how to add pages, and the generator/bm-man roadmap. Part of #952. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: phernandez <paul@basicmachines.co>

Review feedback on #971: - cloud_info and release_notes duplicated the read-and-substitute logic and its rationale comment; both now call resources.discovery.load_discovery_resource(), the single place that renders promo placeholders (and the single place to extend when more placeholders land) - character-handling doc claimed reindex 'reports conflicts'; it handles them during the scan but emits no conflict report — say what it does Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: phernandez <paul@basicmachines.co>

First slice of #610, grown out of the #952 manual work: - src/basic_memory/man/bm.1: hand-written groff overview page (content from the verified bm(1) manual note), plus basic-memory.1 as a .so alias - 'bm man install [--dir]' copies the bundled pages to a man root (default ~/.local/share/man, which manpath(1) derives from ~/.local/bin on PATH on both man-db and BSD man); warns with a one-line MANPATH fix when the root is provably unsearched, stays quiet when manpath is unavailable - verified end-to-end: 'man -M <root> bm' renders, alias resolves - docs/manual-pages.md: lay out the Unix section numbering (1-8, with examples and the crontab(1)/crontab(5) story), document man bm usage, update the roadmap Agents with shell access get 'man bm' as an offline quick reference; the per-tool detail stays in the manual project's section-3 pages.

CI failed because rich wrapped 'not on your manpath' across a line break at the runner's 80-column width; the substring assertion missed it while local wider terminals passed. Collapse whitespace before asserting so the presence and absence checks are immune to wrap position. Verified at COLUMNS=80 and COLUMNS=40.

Codex review of #1389, seventh pass, generalized: eleven GOTCHAS entries across nine pages described defects as 'fixed in #N, pending release', 'on main, unreleased', or 'verified fixed at HEAD'. Those fixes (#908, #971, #981, cloud#1173) are in this tree, and the pages now ship with the tree, so each entry told readers about a bug they do not have. Removed, and a test asserts no bundled page carries such a stamp again.

Summary
The repo-side half of #952: the manual-pages flow. The manual itself is live as the
manualproject in the Basic Memory team workspace — 38 pages + theManpageschema, validating 38/38, every example executed against the live service before its page shipped (MCP path = deployed cloud, CLI path = this checkout). This PR lands what belongs in the repo:docs/manual-pages.md— what the manual is, where it lives, page anatomy, how to query it (apropos via metadata search, SEE ALSO traversal), the verification discipline (examples must run; playground rule;verified:stamps;schema-validateas linter), how to add pages, and the roadmap (registry generator,bm man, groff/Add man pages for bm CLI commands #610)plugins/claude-code/schemas/manpage.md— the Manpage Picoschema as an opt-in seed for documentation projects (validated byjust package-check-claude-code)cloud_info/release_notesreturned a literal{{OSS_DISCOUNT_CODE}}placeholder; substitute fromcli.promoand assert no template braces in output.

The verification discipline doubled as a live end-to-end smoke test and found six bugs in one pass: #954 (workspace selector silently dropped on create), #955 (
[[None]]forward refs in build_context), #956 (workspace project index never refreshes on miss), #957 (folder/*patterns dead on cloud projects), #958 (fixed here), #959 (CLI-only local sync dead end). Fixes for the routing-layer issues (#954/#956/#957) and #955 are specced in their issues as follow-ups.Verification
