Seven skills now travel with Handler itself and are seeded into the
managed skill store when the API boots: gate recovery, the test
authorship standard, checkpoint quality, memory discipline, mise-task
rules, scheduled-run continuity, and secrets hygiene. They cover the
judgment layer the hard gates cannot enforce — the gates check that
tests pass, not that an agent responded to a blocked gate sensibly or
kept credentials out of logs.
Seeding is idempotent by name: existing rows are never touched, so
operator edits and enable/disable choices survive every upgrade;
deleting a built-in restores it as shipped on the next start (disable
is the supported off-switch). Rows are created shared and enabled, so
they sync to every worker like any managed skill and remain
admin-editable from the dashboard or the mobile app. Seeding failures
log and never block the API from serving.
