This project's marketplace entry is `"source": "./"` — the plugin IS the
marketplace repo — but pluginMarketplaceUrl only accepted a URL string or
`{url}`, so it returned null and every plugin-cache install answered
`no_remote`: no install of this plugin could ever see a published release.
A relative source now falls back to the manifest's own `repository`. An
`owner/repo` shorthand still returns null — it names a different repo, so
borrowing the marketplace's URL would be a confidently wrong answer.
`agenthub update-check` prints `message` as its headline, so every
plugin-cache install saw the literal "null" where the verdict belongs — and
that is the one install kind with no commit count to fall back on, so the
line carried nothing at all.
The plugin branch of getUpdatesStatus compares versions exactly like the
checkout branch does; it now builds the same four sentences from what it
already computed (newer release / newest / no local version to compare /
release lookup failed).
The nogit regression test asserted `message === null` as a proxy for "did
not fall through to the not-a-git-clone payload" — it now asserts that on
the message's content instead, which is what it always meant.
An archive-sourced marketplace entry ("source": "url" — this project's own)
makes Claude Code unpack the plugin rather than clone it, so the cache dir
has no .git. getUpdatesStatus probed for .git first and returned "not a git
clone; check for updates manually", skipping the entire release layer:
update_available stayed false however many releases were published, and
plugin_marketplace/plugin_name were never set, so POST /api/updates/apply's
plugin branch could never fire (it answered 409, claiming nothing newer was
published). The bug reads as "up to date", so it stayed invisible for as
long as the install happened to be current.
The plugin branch now runs BEFORE the .git probe and answers without git at
all: the repository URL comes from the marketplace manifest on disk
(known_marketplaces.json -> .claude-plugin/marketplace.json -> source.url,
null rather than a guessed host for a github owner/repo shorthand), and
package.json is the only local comparison signal. A failed release lookup
is reported as release_check, never as "nothing newer".
UI/CLI: the "not a git clone" note is gated on install_kind !== "plugin", so
the Update now button is offered where the dashboard can actually check and
apply.
Update detection was a commit count against the default branch, which says nothing about whether a *version* shipped and is pure noise on the plugin cache (a depth-1 clone, where every distance is a graft artefact). It now reads the forge's own releases API and compares the published tag to this install's package.json version, falling back to the commit count only when no release can be read — with the reason in release_check, so "up to date" never silently means "we could not look".
Two states a commit count cannot express: dev_build (ahead of the newest release, missing nothing from it) now reads "Dev build - N ahead" instead of a false "Up to date"; and on a shallow clone every commits_*_release field is null and dev_build is never asserted, because the numbers would be meaningless.
POST /api/updates/apply gains a second mode, chosen by install kind and never by the request body. A checkout still fast-forwards onto the release tag, rebuilds and self-restarts. A ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ install is refused by applyUpdate (that directory is Claude Code's to replace) and handed instead to a detached chain: claude plugin marketplace update -> claude plugin update -y -> plugin-bootstrap.js --force from the NEW cache dir, which retires this server and starts its replacement. Both write the HTTP response before anything stops the process.
The chain records every outcome to plugin-update.json in the runtime dir, outside the cache the update replaces, so the next server reports it as last_plugin_update: a failed chain is otherwise indistinguishable from a slow one, and the tab would poll a server that never returns. /reload-plugins is deliberately not in the chain - it is REPL-scoped to the session that runs it, so no background process can perform it, and plugin-bootstrap derives PLUGIN_ROOT from its own __dirname, which is what makes it unnecessary for the dashboard.
Also rebrands the sidebar subtitle, splash and page title to SmartGift Solution, and corrects three ARCHITECTURE.md statements that claimed /apply did not exist.
Verified: server 1683/1683, client 486/486, build, prettier, file-header audit, openapi.yaml regenerated.
The ten `agenthub-*` plugins were listed by the marketplace but could never be
installed — two schema mistakes present since the entries were first authored
(57dc915), both invisible until you actually run `claude plugin install`:
- marketplace entries used `"path": "plugins/<name>"`; the CLI only accepts
`"source"`, so every one failed with
`This plugin's marketplace entry is invalid: source: Invalid input`
- each `plugin.json` carried npm's `"repository": { "type", "url" }` object;
the schema wants a plain string, so the next attempt failed with
`Validation errors: repository: Invalid input`
Verified by installing all 11 entries into a throwaway CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:
1/11 before, 11/11 after. `plugins-marketplace.test.js` was asserting the
broken shape, which is why CI stayed green — it now asserts `source` and
rejects `path`.
Marketplace renamed `claude-code-agent-monitor-plugins` -> `agenthub`, so the
install line is `agenthub@agenthub`. ARCHITECTURE.md documented a marketplace
name (`smartgift-claude-code-monitor`) that never existed in any revision.
The documented `/plugin marketplace add Smartgift-AI/Claude-Code-Monitor` also
never worked: the `owner/repo` shorthand resolves to github.com only, and this
repo is self-hosted on Gitea. Confirmed the CLI rejects `host/owner/repo` and
ignores GH_HOST / GITHUB_HOST / CLAUDE_CODE_MARKETPLACE_URL, so the full
https:// clone URL is the only supported form. Same GitHub-habit class fixed
elsewhere: raw.githubusercontent.com icon URLs (404, and the repo ships
favicon.svg not favicon.ico — the client had the same dead /favicon.ico),
a smartgift.github.io docs link (404), and Gitea `/blob/<ref>/` paths that
must be `/src/branch/<ref>/`.
Repository renamed to Smartgift-AI/AgentHub throughout. Gitea 301-redirects
the old name, so these were stale rather than broken; `docs/superpowers/`
keeps the old name because those are dated decision records.
Adds `repo-links.test.js` to guard both classes (it runs under the existing
pre-commit gate) plus an openapi.yaml drift check — the committed spec had
silently fallen a minor version behind package.json. `generate-openapi-yaml.js`
now exports `render()` so the test compares against one definition of the dump
options instead of a second copy.
Adds POST /api/updates/apply (pull, rebuild, restart) plus an "Update now"
button and hourly auto-check in the UI, for checkouts that are safely
fast-forwardable. Reintroduces self-restart (previously removed in edc25ca
for cross-environment reliability concerns) per explicit user request.
server/lib/update-check.js's execGit() and two test helpers
(lanes-cli.test.js, update-check.test.js) shelled out to git with an
explicit `cwd` but no `env` override. A parent git hook process (this
repo's own .husky/pre-commit, which runs `npm run test:server`) sets
GIT_DIR/GIT_INDEX_FILE in its own environment; those leak to every
child process and take precedence over `cwd` for repo discovery, so
every git command these tests ran against their throwaway tmp repos
was silently redirected at the real repo running the hook instead —
reproduced firsthand as four foreign "init"/"fixture" commits
overwriting a worktree branch mid pre-commit run. Fixes it the same
way server/lib/worktree.js already documented and did for its own git
calls: strip the GIT_* vars before exec.
Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard.
Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory,
tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the
dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy
guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already
own and are never destroyable.
Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares
with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream
renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only
within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage.
Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline,
and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.
