Three independently useful changes (IMPROVEMENT-PLANS #1/#3/#7), no schema changes:
- load --brief: token-budgeted cold-start digest (facts full, last-10 observations,
scope+freshness, last session's key sections, agent-log lines, inbox count;
ECHO_LOAD_BUDGET ~8000 chars, lowest-priority-first trimming). SessionStart hook
injects the brief form; /echo-load keeps the full dump. All load reads (+ the
sessions listing, which also feeds the heartbeat fallback) fetched in parallel.
- Offline capture durability: a fully-offline capture queues the WHOLE op as one
semantic record; flush replays it through capture so routing/gate/aliasing re-run
against the current index; a gate stop on replay is kept + flagged
(needs_attention, surfaced by flush and load), never landed blind; update-path
and ensure_daily_log writes ride safe_request; same-args captures dedupe.
- session-end: one call, one lock — session log -> agent-log line -> reflect
proposals (gate-aware) -> optional scope set -> heartbeat LAST as the commit
marker; dry-run default; ECHO_NOW pins HHMM; validation runs before any write.
Stop hook nudge names the command and recognizes it as reflected.
- Fix: main() now catches the __main__ twin-module EchoError (via RuntimeError +
.code) so helper-module errors exit with their intended codes, not tracebacks.
+19 e2e checks; all suites green. Plans renumbered: MCP container is 2.2.

Skills migration: each of the eight slash commands gains a skills/<name>/SKILL.md
twin (same invocation name, byte-identical body). Per-skill allowed-tools
pre-authorize the resolved python3/python/py -3 invocations + the CoWork ls
fallback probe; disable-model-invocation: true makes /echo-sweep and /echo-triage
operator-only. Docs-confirmed: a same-name skill takes precedence over the legacy
command, so commands/ coexists until its scheduled 2.0 deletion. The $ECHO
path-resolution dedupe is resolved as not-supported (skill dirs are
self-contained; no cross-skill snippet sharing).
Lint fix: vault_lint.py checks retired patterns BEFORE routes, so a seed README
inside a retired tree (archive/...) flags retired-path instead of being absolved
by the permissive leaf-readme route. New end-to-end regression test seeds
archive/notes/README.md (fails pre-fix, passes now).
plugin.json: version 1.6.0, homepage + repository -> git.alwisp.com/jason/echo.
All suites green: 25/25 client unit tests (incl. routing-sync guard), feature,
reflect, offline-queue, PATCH-semantics. Artifact rebuilt (87 entries, both
formats); pointer refreshed.
