Intent

Make observed agent growth legible without turning one success, a mood, or a generated summary into progression truth. The result is an owner-review candidate; aoa-agents keeps progression authority and aoa-evals keeps proof.

Owner-source return

Resolve the canonical aoa-agents root before any owner-relative read:

1. Record <bundle_dir> as the absolute directory containing the SKILL.md actually loaded; never resolve from the task working directory. Initialize one unresolved <source_route> and <owner_root>.
2. In one tool turn containing no other read or command, inspect exactly one same-bundle handle: <bundle_dir>/.aoa-skill-source.json. Await its result. If it is a regular file, set <source_route> to source-handle and require schema aoa_skill_source_receipt_v1 or aoa_skill_source_receipt_v2, this bundle name, owner aoa-agents, version 0.2.5, an existing absolute owner_root, a safe relative source_path, and <owner_root>/<source_path>/SKILL.md. For v2 also require non-empty digest, source_fingerprint, source_fingerprint_scope, and prompt_description_sha256. When capability_graph_hash is present, require it to be a non-empty string and preserve it. If the path exists but is invalid, mismatched, or not a regular file, return blocked_missing_owner_source; do not try another location.
3. Only when that exact same-bundle handle path does not exist, set <source_route> to git and run git -C <bundle_dir> rev-parse --show-toplevel exactly once. Require the returned root's skills/port.manifest.json to declare the expected owner, bundle, and path.
4. In the next tool turn, read only <owner_root>/skills/port.manifest.json; do not include an owner document, bundle reference, evidence read, or unrelated command in that tool turn. Await the manifest result. In the source-handle branch, require the same owner_repo, bundle name, and bundle path as the handle. In the git branch, require aoa-agents, this bundle name, and its actual bundle path. If the manifest read shared a tool batch with an owner document, the serial gate was not observed: return blocked_owner_source_gate_not_observed and do not use either result.
5. Only after the successful manifest result, use a later tool turn to read exactly the two named owner-model documents below. Then owner-source resolution is complete. Do not run or retry the other source branch, including after a later owner-document read fails. Any handle, git, manifest, path, or owner mismatch returns blocked_missing_owner_source and ends this invocation.
6. Never use find, rg --files, parent traversal, sibling scans, workspace conventions, temporary fixtures, .system, or another skill directory to discover a substitute owner root.
