Also, gstack follows the **Boil the Ocean** principle: do the complete thing when AI makes the marginal cost near zero. Read more at https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean if you'd like.\n\n**Review mode: HOLD SCOPE.**\n\nAuto-decided \"Select review mode\" \u2192 HOLD SCOPE (your saved preference on `plan-ceo-review-mode`). Change with /plan-tune.\n\nWhy this mode fits the draft:\n\n- **It is a correctness fix to an existing path, not a new capability.** Skill listings should not change order between machines or filesystems. The context default for bug fixes and refactors is HOLD SCOPE.\n- **The draft already states its invariants.** Membership, aliases, metadata and text/JSON formats stay unchanged. The review's job is to make those invariants bulletproof, not to widen them.\n- **The codebase confirms the problem is real.** The census helper enumerates skills with no sort at all. The context-bill code sorts with the default code-point comparator, so a mixed-case name like `Zeta` lands before `alpha`. Both are places the deep review should pin with tests.\n\nWhat I deliberately left open for the later invocation, at your request:\n\n1. **The implementation approach decision** (a shared case-insensitive comparator versus per-site sorts). The skill requires your explicit approval there before the deep review.\n2. **Which listing path the draft means.** The census helper, the context-bill CLI, or both. This changes the file list.\n3. **Onboarding prompts** (continuous checkpoint feature, cross-project learnings) and the Office Hours offer. Their markers are untouched, so they will fire again next healthy run.\n\nThe plan file at `.claude/plans/please-review-the-following-melodic-kernighan.md` records the mode, the audit findings with file and line references, and the three open items. I have not called ExitPlanMode since the review workflow is paused rather than complete.\n\nSTATUS: DONE.

Today the ordering of\nregistered skill names depends on directory enumeration order and, where a\nsort exists, on JavaScript's default code-point sort (uppercase before\nlowercase). The draft plan makes the existing listing path sort registered\nskill names deterministically before rendering, keeping membership, aliases,\nmetadata and text/JSON output formats unchanged, with tests for mixed-case\nnames and differing enumeration order.\n\nThis invocation covered ONLY the /plan-ceo-review mode decision, at the\nuser's request. Office Hours, onboarding/setup prompts, the implementation\napproach decision (0C-bis), and the 11-section deep review are deferred to a\nlater invocation.\n\n## System audit (light, for mode grounding)\n\n- Branch `edinburgh-v1`, clean tree, far ahead of `main` (633 files); no stash.\n- No per-branch design doc, no CEO handoff note.\n- Skill enumeration paths found in the repo:\n - `test/helpers/skill-census.ts:63` \u2014 `readdirSync` with NO sort; registry\n is a `Set`, so insertion order follows enumeration order.\n - `lib/context-bill.ts:382` \u2014 `findSkillDirs` returns `out.sort()`\n (code-point sort on full paths; mixed case orders `Z` before `a`).\n - `lib/context-bill.ts:461` \u2014 `diffBills` sorts merged skill names with the\n default comparator (same mixed-case caveat).\n - `scripts/skill-check.ts:101` \u2014 `readdirSync(hostDir).sort()`.\n- Related tests: `test/skill-census.test.ts`, `test/context-bill.test.ts`,\n `test/catalog-budget.test.ts`.\n\n## Review mode decision\n\n**Mode: HOLD SCOPE** (auto-decided from the user's saved preference on\n`plan-ceo-review-mode`; change with /plan-tune).\n\nWhy HOLD SCOPE: this is a small correctness fix / refactor to an existing\npath, with explicit invariants (membership, aliases, metadata, formats\nunchanged). The context-dependent default for bug fixes and refactors is\nHOLD SCOPE. The value is in rigor: a single shared comparator, mixed-case\nand enumeration-order tests, and no silent behavior change in text or JSON\noutput.\n\n## Open before the substantive review\n\n1. 0C-bis implementation approaches (minimal vs shared comparator helper)\n still need an explicit approval.\n2. Confirm which listing path the draft means (\"the existing listing path\"):\n the census helper, the context-bill CLI, or both.\n3.
