Milestone 419's acceptance, and it failed the first time it was run — which
is the only reason this commit exists.

THE MEASUREMENT. Ran the step-5 readout against this session's real traffic
instead of a fixture. It reported 19 rules named by an arm and none opened.
That is false: the session had called `get_rule` 45 times. Across six real
sessions on this instance: 208 opens, 3 surviving ledger entries. 1.4%.

THE CAUSE. `.opened.ids` was doing two jobs with opposite lifetimes.

  - "this context HOLDS rule 156" — false after a compaction, and three hooks
    read it to decide whether to stay quiet. Clearing it is correct.
  - "rule 156 WAS OPENED" — which no compaction makes untrue, and which the
    session-end readout is built on.

`scribe_clear_session_ledgers` sweeps every `<sid>*.ids` on SessionStart
source=compact. Right for the first claim, and it was deleting the second.
The TTL did the same thing more quietly: `scribe_rules_live` ages an
exclusion ledger, which is right, and would have eaten the early part of any
long session's evidence too.

So the readout was reporting only the stretch since the last compaction while
reading as though it had reported the session — a statistic that cannot vary
being mistaken for a finding (#3311), which is the shape this whole milestone
exists to stop producing. It ran AT the seam it was blind to.

THE SPLIT. `scribe_rules_append` now writes both: the exclusion ledger it
always wrote, and `<kind>.keep.ids`, an evidence twin that is never aged and
never swept. The readout reads twins; the three `held` readers are untouched.

DERIVED, NOT LISTED, because a list is what broke this before — the comment
above the sweep says so about its own history. Every ledger written through
the appender gets a twin, including the next one somebody adds; a new ledger
is born on the swept side unless its name opts out. `scribe_checkpoint_allowed`
writes its twin explicitly since it bypasses the appender, and there the split
lands right on both sides: the cap counts the swept file, so a compaction
honestly restores the budget to stop an act the context can no longer justify,
while the record that a stop happened stays.

Removed `scribe_ledger_ids`, orphaned by the change — a dead helper beside a
live one is a thing the next reader trusts.

test_session_ledger_clear.py asserted every ledger dies and could not have
caught this: its fixture never created a twin, so the sweep was one glob away
from either mistake with only one of them guarded. Both sides now asserted.
The slippage tests build their ledgers through the real writers rather than
by hand, for the same reason — a fixture that writes the bytes itself keeps
passing after the writer stops.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 a49e7ed2af fix(plugin): the hooks need no jq and no tac (#4107)

Every hook opened `command -v jq >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 0`, so on a machine
without jq the operator got no session context, no rules, no prior art and no
process sync — and not one word saying why, because `exit 0` is
indistinguishable from "ran fine, nothing to say". jq is absent by default on
macOS, on the Debian/Ubuntu slim images, on Alpine and in most CI containers.
That is not a prerequisite to document; it is the plugin handing its own
packaging problem to whoever installs it.

`tac` was worse: GNU-only, so the prior-art hook's enclosing-definition arm
did nothing at all on every Mac, silently, from the day it shipped. It is not
replaced but removed — scribe_defs judges each line independently, so
extracting forward and taking `tail -1` is the same answer as reversing and
taking the head, and it drops the early-exit `head` that #4042 was filed for.

No server contract changed, so a lagging plugin cache keeps working.

  scribe_json.awk   JSON -> IDX<TAB>PATH<TAB>VALUE. Two modes: `whole` for an
                    event or a response body, `lines` for a transcript, where
                    an unparseable record is dropped and the rest still read —
                    the `map(try fromjson catch empty)` the jq program opened
                    with. Arrays also report their LENGTH at `[#]`, which is
                    what keeps "zero notes" distinct from "no answer" (#2932).
  scribe_turn.awk   the turn-bounding program, replacing the thirty lines of
                    jq in the Stop hook.
  scribe_defs.sh    scribe_json_flat / _pick / _list / _len / _list_minus read,
                    scribe_json_out writes the envelope (five copies of one
                    shape, gone), scribe_urlenc replaces `jq -sRr '@uri'`.

Percent-encoding goes through `od -tu1` rather than an awk character loop on
purpose: awk's idea of a character follows the locale, so gawk reads an
accented letter as one and mawk as two, and an encoder built on substr() would
emit a different URL depending on which awk is installed. Encoding is defined
on bytes. Verified byte-identical to `jq -sRr '@uri'`.

Measured, not assumed. The per-event path costs 8ms against jq's 3ms. The
transcript path was 70x slower until two fixes: the Stop hook now finds where
the turn starts with a fixed-string grep before parsing (a needle carrying
unescaped quotes cannot occur inside a JSON string, so it matches only at a
record's top level — checked against a full JSON parse of a 27MB transcript:
152 prompt records, 152 matches, no misses, no extras), and the parser reads
each token out of a 1024-byte window instead of copying the rest of the buffer
per token, which was quadratic in line length on the 400KB tool results a
transcript carries.

Differential-tested against the jq program it replaces over 724 windows cut
from three real transcripts — 724 identical, 0 mismatched, 45 of them
exercising a real task close and a real reply. That sweep is what caught
`scribe_turn.awk` never setting FS, which truncated every multi-word reply at
its first space and was invisible to a test whose replies were all empty.

check_plugin.py's `jq -R` lint becomes a guard against either binary coming
back, and three smoke checks lose their `shutil.which("jq")` skip. jq is not
in `ci-python` either, so those three announced a skip on every CI run and had
never once run there: removing the dependency from the product also closed a
permanent hole in its verification. They pass now across all ten hooks.

tests/test_hook_json_reader.py is a differential against Python's `json` over
nested objects, arrays, unicode, escapes, control characters, empty cases and
a value longer than the token window, plus the envelope, the encoder and the
turn analyzer. 139 cases.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 f1e63d207f fix(plugin): the sweep missed the arm that fires most — two ledger directories (#4101)

CI caught two things in c61f730, and the second is the one that mattered.

1. `scribe_autoinject.sh` keeps its note ledger in `${TMPDIR}/scribe-autoinject`,
   not `scribe-priorart`. Every ledger NAMED in the hooks was in the one
   directory the sweep visited, so it read as complete — and the arm that fires
   most (598 calls in five days) was the only one still carrying the bug. The
   clear ran, found nothing to remove, and exited 0. `SCRIBE_LEDGER_DIRS` in
   `scribe_defs.sh` is now the roster, and the guard reads that string rather
   than a copy of it, so a test can no longer agree with itself forever.

2. The convention guard over-reached: it flagged `<sid>.snap` and
   `<sid>.blocked`, which live in `scribe-afterwrite` and `scribe-reportcheck`
   and can never be touched by the sweep. It is now two tests keyed on the
   directory, because the two assumptions fail differently — one lets a ledger
   sit where nothing sweeps, the other lets it sit in the right place under a
   name the sweep does not match.

`test_only_the_rule_ledger_is_cleared_and_the_note_ledgers_are_left` also went
red, correctly: the note arms' exemption was a real decision, recorded in a
test, and my commit message said nothing about it had been decided. That was
wrong and the test was right to stop me. The decision is reversed rather than
ignored, and the reasoning is that #4101 removed its premise: it rested on a
note repeat being WITHHELD, so clearing the ledger meant re-injecting whole
menu lines the session already had. Now a repeat is rendered with a `seen`
marker, so the ledger only decides whether that marker is true — and across a
compaction it is false, telling a freshly-summarised session it has already
seen a record that is nowhere in its context. The test keeps its name and
records the reversal with the reason, rather than being deleted.

Verified by running the hook directly: all six ledgers across both directories
gone on `compact`, `<sid>.unreached` left standing.

`scribe_session_context.sh` cleared `.rules.ids` and `.opened.ids` by name and
left `.ids`, `.sync.ids` and `.derive.ids` standing, under a comment asserting
that was a decision. Reading the note arms says it was not: their exclusions go
straight into `semantic_search_notes`, so a surfaced note leaves the result set
rather than being rendered as a reference the way #3750 gave a repeated rule,
and unlike the rules ledger they never age. Hard, permanent, never cleared — a
note surfaced in a session's first minute is unreachable for the rest of it,
which is milestone 386's own defect alive on the arms that fire most often.

The list was the bug, so the fix is not a longer list. `scribe_clear_session_
ledgers` matches the naming convention instead — a per-session ledger is
`<sid>[.<kind>].ids` — which covers all five and covers the sixth on the day it
is written. `<sid>.unreached` is deliberately outside it: that records an
outage, not held context, and #2932 needs it to survive.

tests/test_session_ledger_clear.py runs the hook rather than grepping it for
`rm -f`, since grepping for the names is the pattern being removed. It pins
both directions — `compact`/`clear` take all five, `startup`/`resume` take
none — plus the convention the glob rests on, checked against the hooks
themselves so a ledger named outside it fails loudly instead of silently never
clearing.

Also drops a stale comment pointing at a rules-etag marker that milestone 394
retired.
