/ca-doctor — install health

SkillDev tools

Verify the active host install, package, command ownership, enforcement, wrapper self-test, and active-dispatch coverage gap. Read-only.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the /ca-doctor — install health skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by arbiterforge/codearbiter in plugins/ca-pi/skills/ca-doctor/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Silent dormancy is the worst failure shape this plugin has: the gates look installed but never fire. This command proves the active host is healthy and reports every non-OK finding with an exact remediation.

Flow

  1. The /ca-doctor alias has already run the extension's structured Pi doctor report before sending this generated skill. Present the <codearbiter-doctor-report> block below verbatim.
  2. The report inspects, without granting trust: active Git package origin/version, exact Pi CLI and module package identity, stable Pi/Node/Python support, shared-core and bridge paths, command and native-equivalent skill-expansion ownership, child/ambient-marker state, and final wrapper sources.
  3. Its wrapper-self-test row submits only git add --all --dry-run directly to the stored governed Pi bash wrapper. The exact shared-core [H-03] block is healthy and cannot stage files; execution or a different block is unhealthy. This self-test does not traverse Pi's active dispatcher. Do not rerun or respell it.
  4. Its active-dispatch row remains degraded because supported Pi 0.84.1 public extension APIs cannot submit that deterministic call through the active dispatcher. PI-AC-28 remains blocked until supported-version real-host promotion/CI evidence closes the gap.

Remediation ladder

  1. Restart Pi so package resources and final wrappers register in one fresh process.
  2. Reinstall ca-pi from the approved pinned Git tag. For project-local packages, inspect /trust and grant trust only if you accept that source; codeArbiter never grants it.
  3. If dormancy was intended, /ca-init opts the repository in.

When NOT to use

  • Scaffold state only → /ca-init --check.
  • Project progress, not install health → /ca-status.

Hard gate

Read-only. MUST NOT create markers, stage files, grant trust, weaken a block, or retry the wrapper self-test with different spelling. MUST preserve the degraded active-dispatch diagnosis until supported-version real-host promotion/CI evidence closes PI-AC-28.

For an arbiter-enabled repository, the mechanical report treats the Git backstop as healthy only after exact managed-shim and live-enforcer validation, plus a harmless selected-Git git hook run pre-push probe with empty input. It never executes a foreign hook.
