* fix: align all version manifests to 4.8.0 + guard against drift (#260, #262)
The v4.8.0 release shipped with all four plugin manifests still reading
4.7.0, and both package.json files still at the 0.1.0 npm-init default.
So Claude/Codex/Gemini reported 4.7.0 as the latest version (#262) and
the project advertised three different versions at once (#260).
Bump all six version-bearing files to 4.8.0 so they match the release tag:
the four plugin manifests, the root package.json, and ponytail-mcp.
Add scripts/check-versions.js, wired into CI, so this cannot recur. It
asserts every version file shares one pinned X.Y.Z version, and on a
release-tag run that the shared version equals the tag. The existing
mutual-agreement check in tests/gemini-extension.test.js could not catch
this, because all four manifests were stale at 4.7.0 together.

* fix: target 4.8.1 for a clean superseding release
v4.8.0 was already tagged with the stale 4.7.0 manifests. Rather than rewrite a published tag, ship the consistent versions as v4.8.1. The CI guard enforces tag == version on the release run. (#260, #262)

#245 "Dangerously lazy": add an operational "fix the root cause, not the
symptom" directive — grep every caller of the function you touch and fix the
shared function once (the smaller diff). Validated on the agentic benchmark: on
a shared-helper bug-fix trap, baseline fixes the root cause 1/6 while ponytail
does 6/6 on both Sonnet 4.6 (the model the issue was filed on) and Opus 4.8,
verified by reading the produced code. Plain prose ("trace the flow") did not
move it; the actionable, lazy-framed directive did.
#217 "Missing rung": add ladder rung 2 "Already in this codebase? Reuse it,
don't re-write it." Propagated across SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, all agent mirror
copies, the hook fallback, and both READMEs (check-rule-copies passes).
Benchmark: 4 new deterministic quality-tier tasks (reuse-slug, reuse-money,
trace-transfer, trace-amount) with selftest-proven good/bad refs; harness gains
multi-file seed support in --selftest, distinctive-behaviour reuse detection,
and counts in-file __main__/demo() self-checks as test LOC (not source bloat)
for surgical tasks. Full writeup in
benchmarks/results/2026-06-22-issue-245-217-comprehension.md.
Also carries the in-progress todo-null benchmark task already present in the
working tree.

Bumps all four plugin manifests to 4.6.0 so /ponytail-help reaches the release-install hosts (Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI marketplace).

Release-prep bump across all four plugin manifests (Claude Code, Codex,
Gemini, Copilot) for v4.5.0. The cross-manifest parity test keeps them aligned.

The benchmark harness hardcoded `python`, which is missing on macOS and
many Linux images. Probe python3 first, add npm test, and run checks in
GitHub Actions so regressions are caught on every PR.

The namespaced-form assertion built '/ponytail:ponytail-debt' from two

wiring. The file-exists check above already catches a renamed manifest.

* feat: refine ruleset from a full-project field review
A reviewer ran ponytail across a 9-phase rewrite (protocol, PC app, simulator,
RPi daemon, ESP32 firmware) and flagged three gaps. All three land in SKILL.md
and propagate to AGENTS.md + the rule copies:
- Promote the one-runnable-check rule to a headline ("Lazy code without its
check is unfinished"), enforced as a check-rule-copies invariant.
- Hardware carve-out in "When NOT to be lazy": a real device is never the spec
ideal (clock drift, sensor offset), leave the calibration knob.
- Clarify the Output rule: explanation the user explicitly asked for is not
debt, only unrequested prose is.
Fallback instructions kept in sync. Rule-copy check + tests green.

* test: add a behavior gate proving the refinements actually fire
The refinements were verified as injected text, but injected != behavioral.
This adds a behavior eval that probes each refined rule on a task that should
trigger it:
- hardware -> does the output leave a calibration knob?
- explanation -> when a write-up is explicitly requested, is it given in full?
- onecheck -> is a runnable check left behind?
benchmarks/behavior.yaml runs the probes (baseline vs ponytail arm); the
grader benchmarks/behavior.js is proven by tests/behavior.test.js (8 cases,
RED/GREEN, no API key, runs in CI). Live-confirmed: the model under the
current ruleset passes all three gates, graded by the same grader.

Swap em dashes for commas/colons/periods in the README, skills, AGENTS.md and
its five rule copies, examples, command files, and benchmark README. Rule
copies stay in sync (same edit applied to all) and the invariant guard passes.
Left untouched on purpose: the vendored caveman SKILL.md (verbatim third-party
text), the dated benchmark writeups in results/ (historical records), and
.js code comments.

Hardening per the A-F benchmark brief: non-trivial logic leaves one
runnable check; ponytail: comments on ceiling-bearing shortcuts name
the ceiling and upgrade path; prefer the edge-case-correct stdlib
option at equal size. Applied to SKILL.md, all cross-agent rule
copies, the hook fallback, and a guard line in ponytail-review.
