Fixes #2859.

What Changed

start-observer.sh status counted instinct files with find "$INSTINCTS_DIR" -name "*.yaml". It now counts every extension the loader accepts, the same way the loader enumerates them:

instinct_find_expr=( \( -iname "*.yaml" -o -iname "*.yml" -o -iname "*.md" \) )
instinct_count=$(find "$INSTINCTS_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -type f "${instinct_find_expr[@]}" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d "[:space:]")

Three things had to match _load_instincts_from_dir in scripts/instinct-cli.py, not one:

loader counter
suffix.lower() in ALLOWED_INSTINCT_EXTENSIONS.yaml, .yml, .md all three, and -iname for the case-insensitive compare
Path.iterdir() → top level only -maxdepth 1 (plain find recurses)
file.is_file() → directories skipped -type f

tr drops the column padding BSD wc emits, which is why the reported output read Instincts: 0 with that gap.

Why This Change

The producer writes .md by explicit instructionagents/observer-loop.sh:166 tells the analyzer to write ${INSTINCTS_DIR}/<id>.md — and the consumer accepts three extensions. Only the status counter accepted one, so the single command an operator runs to confirm that learning is working reported Instincts: 0 on a perfectly healthy install.

That matters beyond the wrong number: Instincts: 0 is exactly what a silently dead observer looks like (#2673). An operator who checks status cannot tell "nothing has been learned" from "instincts exist and are not being counted", which removes the signal the status check exists to provide.

Testing Done

  • Manual testing completed
  • Automated tests pass locally (node tests/run-all.js) — see the note below
  • Edge cases considered and tested

End to end against the shipped script. A temp homunculus dir (CLV2_HOMUNCULUS_DIR + CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR), a live PID in .observer.pid, and an instincts dir holding 3 × .md, a.yaml, b.yml, c.YAML, a notes.txt, and nested/deep.md:

before:  Instincts: 1     # only a.yaml
after:   Instincts: 6     # the same six files instinct-cli.py loads

notes.txt and nested/deep.md are correctly excluded — the loader skips both.

New test: tests/skills/observer-status-instinct-count.test.js, 11 assertions. It parses ALLOWED_INSTINCT_EXTENSIONS out of instinct-cli.py and requires the counter to match whatever it says, so adding a fourth extension to the loader fails this test instead of silently under-reporting again. Then it runs the real start-observer.sh status for the three scenarios above. Integration coverage skips cleanly on Windows without ECC_TEST_BASH, following tests/skills/repo-scan-install.test.js.

Mutation-tested:

  • restore -name "*.yaml"fails (status count must match .yml)
  • drop -maxdepth 1fails (status count must not recurse — the loader does not)
  • the script exits 1 on drift and 0 when clean, so run-all.js picks it up correctly

On node tests/run-all.js: run twice, same command, same machine — once on a clean origin/main and once on this branch:

tests passed failed
origin/main 3869 3816 53
this branch 3880 3827 53
delta +11 +11 0

The +11 is exactly this file. The 53 failures are byte-identical between the two runs — the same eight groups (lib/claude-plugin-setup, lib/claude-scope-migration, lib/codex-legacy-sync, lib/memory-vault, lib/state-store, scripts/ecc-universal-bin, scripts/memory-mcp, scripts/setup), none of which read skills/continuous-learning-v2/. They are pre-existing on this machine, so I have left the "tests pass locally" box unticked rather than tick it on a suite that is not green — but this PR adds nothing to that number. npx eslint is clean on the new file.

Review follow-up (second commit). The static assertions originally ran at the top level, so a failure exited before the Passed:/Failed: tokens run-all.js totals — it still went red via the exit code, but the per-case counts were lost and you only ever saw the first broken expectation. Every case now goes through the same runTest() wrapper the integration cases already used, and the case list is built inside a try so a renamed instinct-cli.py is a reported failure rather than a crash. Reverting the fix now prints Passed: 4, Failed: 7 and exits 1, naming all seven.

Type of Change

  • fix: Bug fix
  • feat: New feature
  • refactor: Code refactoring
  • docs: Documentation
  • test: Tests
  • chore: Maintenance/tooling
  • ci: CI/CD changes

Security & Quality Checklist

  • No secrets or API keys committed
  • JSON files validate cleanly (none changed)
  • Shell scripts pass shellcheck (if applicable) — bash -n clean; the change is one find expression
  • Pre-commit hooks pass locally (if configured)
  • No sensitive data exposed in logs or output
  • Follows conventional commits format

If you added a skill, command, agent, hook, or CLI tool

Not applicable — no new component. One line changed in an existing skill script, plus one test file under tests/skills/, which run-all.js discovers by glob.

Documentation

  • Updated relevant documentation — the comment above the counter records why the three extensions and the depth/case flags have to match the loader, so the next person editing it does not narrow it back.
  • Added comments for complex logic
  • README updated (if needed) — not needed

…er status (affaan-m#2859)

`start-observer.sh status` globbed `*.yaml`, but the observer prompt tells the
analyzer to write `${INSTINCTS_DIR}/<id>.md` and the loader accepts
`.yaml`, `.yml`, and `.md` (ALLOWED_INSTINCT_EXTENSIONS in
scripts/instinct-cli.py). The one command an operator runs to confirm that
learning works therefore reported `Instincts: 0` on a healthy install — which
is indistinguishable from a silently dead observer, exactly the failure the
status check exists to surface.

Match the loader instead of one of its three extensions, and match how it
enumerates them: `Path.iterdir()` is top level only and `is_file()` skips
directories, so `-maxdepth 1 -type f`; `suffix.lower()` makes the comparison
case-insensitive, so `-iname`. `tr` drops the column padding BSD `wc` emits,
which is why the reported output read `Instincts:        0`.

Verified end to end against the shipped script with 3 `.md`, one `.yaml`, one
`.yml`, one `.YAML`, a `notes.txt`, and a nested `.md`: 1 before, 6 after —
the same six files the loader picks up.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e3ab9

The change fixes observer status counts for all supported instinct files and has targeted coverage, but Windows CI can pass without running the underlying shell command, leaving that platform-specific behavior unverified. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for Windows integration coverage.

Greptile Summary

Observer status now reports the same supported top-level instinct files that the loader accepts, including Markdown, YAML, and YML files regardless of extension casing. Runtime validation confirmed the status output matches the loader’s result for supported files while excluding nested files, directories, and unsupported extensions.

Confidence Score: 5/5

No blocking failure remains; the observer status count matches the loader for the exercised file combinations.

No accepted blocking findings remain after exercising the shipped status command and the focused regression coverage.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • Ran the observer-status contract validation script from the repository root and it finished with exit code 0.
  • The validation reported Instincts: 4, and an independent Python loader also returned 4, confirming the status aligns with the loader for the exercised extension set.
  • Executed the focused regression test observer-status-instinct-count and the suite completed with 11 passed and 0 failed.
  • Reviewed the exact post-command state and regression references and confirmed the contract validation PASS.

31-39: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Keep the existing parser. instinct-cli.py declares ALLOWED_INSTINCT_EXTENSIONS as a parenthesized tuple, so the current regex matches it.

Comment thread tests/skills/observer-status-instinct-count.test.js Outdated
Review feedback on affaan-m#2878: the static assertions ran at the top level, so a
failure exited the process before the `Passed:`/`Failed:` lines. tests/run-all.js
totals those tokens, so the per-case counts were lost — it still went red via the
non-zero exit, but the granular numbers were not in the totals.

Route every case through the same `runTest()` wrapper the file already used for
the integration cases, and build the case list inside a try so a missing or
renamed `instinct-cli.py` / `start-observer.sh` is a reported failure rather than
a crash.

Reverting the fix now prints `Passed: 4, Failed: 7` and exits 1, naming all seven
broken expectations instead of stopping at the first.
…shes

Review feedback on affaan-m#2878. stdout is async when it is a pipe, which is exactly
how tests/run-all.js runs these files, and process.exit() does not wait for
pending writes — so exiting that way can drop the Passed:/Failed: lines the
aggregator totals, defeating the previous commit. The sibling
tests/ci/ito-*-skill.test.js files already use process.exitCode.

Still exits 1 on a broken counter (Passed: 4, Failed: 7) and 0 when clean.

Assert the required loader extensions explicitly.

allowed.length >= 3 permits the loader to replace .md, .yaml, or .yml with unrelated extensions. The later loop then validates only the extensions that remain declared.

Assert that .yaml, .yml, and .md are all present.

Suggested assertion
-    assert.ok(allowed.length >= 3, `expected several extensions, got ${allowed}`);
+    const required = ['.yaml', '.yml', '.md'];
+    assert.ok(
+      required.every(ext => allowed.includes(ext)),
+      `expected loader extensions ${required}, got ${allowed}`
+    );

As per PR objectives: the loader must accept .yaml, .yml, and .md.

Split buildTests and return immutable test lists.

buildTests spans 62 lines and builds its result with repeated tests.push(...) calls. Extract the source checks and integration checks into helpers under 50 lines. Return new arrays and combine them with spread syntax.

As per coding guidelines: keep functions under 50 lines and do not use in-place mutation; always return new objects or state.

Add a top-level supported-extension directory to the integration fixture.

nested/deep.md verifies depth filtering, but it does not verify the file-type filter. A top-level directory named ignored.md would be counted by an implementation without -type f while this test still passes.

Add a fixture such as ignored.md/child.txt and keep the expected count at 4.

As per PR objectives: directories must be excluded from the status count.

Use explicit Arrange / Act / Assert steps.

The test constructs fixtures, runs runStatus, and asserts the result in one expression. Assign the fixture list first, execute runStatus second, and assert the count third.

As per coding guidelines: use AAA structure with descriptive test names.

Make skipped integration coverage fail the Windows CI job. The CI matrix includes windows-latest, where process.platform === 'win32' sets bashBinary to null; buildTests() then omits every real-command case. main() reports zero failures, so node tests/run-all.js can pass without executing start-observer.sh.
