* Revert "fix(skills): stop reporting a failed update when the CLI succeeded (#11105)" This reverts commita8660839ee. * fix(skills): stop offering an update the CLI provably cannot perform The Update skills dialog reported "The update didn't finish" / "Some skills could not be updated" with an armed Retry, directly above the runner's own "All global skills are up to date" log line, on a clean exit 0. `skills update` decides what to do by comparing its lock's `skillFolderHash` against the source tree and never reads disk (published CLI, dist/cli.mjs: `latestHash !== entry.skillFolderHash`). So once the lock records a revision the filesystem does not actually have, it reports up-to-date, exits 0 and writes nothing. No retry converges it. Gate eligibility on that instead of blaming the run afterwards: a name stays updatable only while the lock's hash and the revision the DISK hashes to agree. Those that disagree fall through to `needs-attention`, which skill-freshness-display-status.ts already documents as the state for a copy "out of date somewhere the update command cannot reach". The dialog no longer offers them, so it can neither claim failure nor claim success. Deliberately compared against disk, not the bundled manifest: the updater pulls from the source repo, which legitimately runs ahead of what a build ships, and gating on the bundle would withhold real updates. Both sides must also be positively identified — an unplaceable lock hash is not evidence. Also revertsa8660839ee, which forgave `outdated` post-run. That turned the false failure into a false success ("Updated 2 skills" over copies nothing wrote) and let an empty verdict swallow spawnError, so an offline run published green. Reachable by anyone who updated during the stub-conversion window — every bundled skill has a stub -> full -> stub oscillation in its last three registry revisions. * fix(skills): do not gate a skill when a placement is unidentifiable `diskTreeShas` drops digests matching no known revision, so `every` ran over only the resolved half — one stale copy beside one unidentifiable copy gated the name, contradicting the unknown-stays-eligible rule the function documents. Require every observed digest to resolve before treating all placements as mismatched. Caught by CodeRabbit on #11110. * fix(skills): judge convergence only over placements the update command writes A same-name plugin-cache or repo copy could defeat the gate two ways: an unidentifiable repack read as an unresolved placement, and a cache copy parked at the lock's own revision read as an anchor — both re-arming the unwinnable update on a drifted canonical. Filter to SUPPORTED_GLOBAL_SKILL_TOPOLOGIES, matching eligibility and outcome.
