 ## Current Truth
 
 - Default branch: `main`
-- Immediate blocker addressed: CI lockfile drift and hook validation breakage fixed in `a273c62`
-- Local full suite status after fix: `1723/1723` passing

 - Main active operational work:
   - keep default branch green
   - continue issue-driven fixes from `main` now that the public PR backlog is at zero

 ## Active Queues
 
 - PR backlog: currently cleared on the public queue; new work should land through direct mainline fixes or fresh narrowly scoped PRs
+- Upstream branch backlog still needs selective mining and cleanup:
+  - `origin/feat/hermes-generated-ops-skills` still has three unique commits, but only reusable ECC-native skills should be salvaged from it
+  - multiple `origin/ecc-tools/*` automation branches are stale and should be pruned after confirming they carry no unique value
 - Product:
   - selective install cleanup
   - control plane primitives

 - 2026-04-02: Fixed `#1141` on `main` in `16e9b17`. The observer lifecycle is now session-aware instead of purely detached: `SessionStart` writes a project-scoped lease, `SessionEnd` removes that lease and stops the observer when the final lease disappears, `observe.sh` records project activity, and `observer-loop.sh` now exits on idle when no leases remain. Targeted validation passed with `bash -n`, `node tests/hooks/observer-memory.test.js`, `node tests/integration/hooks.test.js`, `node scripts/ci/validate-hooks.js hooks/hooks.json`, and `node scripts/ci/check-unicode-safety.js`.
 - 2026-04-02: Fixed the remaining Windows-only hook regression behind `#1070` by making `scripts/lib/utils.js#getHomeDir()` honor explicit `HOME` / `USERPROFILE` overrides before falling back to `os.homedir()`. This restores test-isolated observer state paths for hook integration runs on Windows. Added regression coverage in `tests/lib/utils.test.js`. Targeted validation passed with `node tests/lib/utils.test.js`, `node tests/integration/hooks.test.js`, `node tests/hooks/observer-memory.test.js`, and `node scripts/ci/check-unicode-safety.js`.
 - 2026-04-02: Direct-ported NestJS support for `#1022` into `main` as `skills/nestjs-patterns/SKILL.md` and wired it into the `framework-language` install module. Synced the repo catalog afterward (`38` agents, `72` commands, `156` skills) and updated the docs so NestJS is no longer listed as an unfilled framework gap.
+- 2026-04-05: Shipped `846ffb7` (`chore: ship v1.10.0 release surface refresh`). This updated README/plugin metadata/package versions, synced the explicit plugin agent inventory, bumped stale star/fork/contributor counts, created `docs/releases/1.10.0/*`, tagged and released `v1.10.0`, and posted the announcement discussion at `#1272`.
+- 2026-04-05: Salvaged the reusable Hermes-branch operator skills in `6eba30f` without replaying the full branch. Added `skills/github-ops`, `skills/knowledge-ops`, and `skills/hookify-rules`, wired them into install modules, and re-synced the repo to `159` skills. `knowledge-ops` was explicitly adapted to the current workspace model: live code in cloned repos, active truth in GitHub/Linear, broader non-code context in the KB/archive layers.
