Night Market Config Catalog

Every configuration axis in this repo: where it lives, what the options and defaults are, whether it is production policy or an experimental opt-in, and what guards it. Flags drift, so every axis ends with a one-line re-verification command. Run it before trusting a value stated here.

Terms used once, defined once:

• Axis: one independently tunable configuration surface (a file, a key, or an environment variable).
• Guard: the mechanism that notices when the axis breaks or drifts (a test, a pre-commit hook, a CI job, or a script).
• Shadow mode: a hook that evaluates and warns but does not block. The blocking posture is opt-in.

Axis table

Caveat on the two .claude/*.json policy files: no Python script in the repo reads them directly. They are policy inputs referenced by docs/quality-gates.md and by sanctum command prose (prepare-pr, pr-review configuration). Treat them as contract documents for review workflows, not as runtime config a daemon loads. Direct programmatic consumers: none found at compile time (candidate: wire one before tightening values).

Quality gate dimensions (.claude/quality_gates.json)

Per-dimension keys and defaults:

Security is the only blocking dimension. Everything else is advisory, capped globally by max_critical_issues: 3.

Root pyproject tool tables

Root pyproject.toml (version 1.9.15, requires-python >=3.12) carries these tables:

• [tool.ruff]: line-length 88, target-version py312.
• [tool.ruff.lint] select: E, W, F, I, B, C4, UP, PLC0415, PLR0913. extend-ignore: E501, B007, B008, B905, E402, and UP017. UP017 is load-bearing: it keeps timezone.utc instead of the 3.11+ datetime.UTC alias because hook scripts must import under the system Python 3.9. Removing it re-breaks hooks (this has happened three or more times, and an AST test now holds the line).
• [tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores]: tests get S-series and assert allowances; **/__init__.py gets F401; **/hooks/*.py gets BLE001, PLC0415, E402 (resilience lazy imports); scripts/*.py gets E402.
• [tool.pytest.ini_options]: norecursedirs includes plugins/*, so plugin tests MUST run per-plugin. Markers: unit, integration, e2e, slow, network, plugin, skill, hook, command, bdd, benchmark. --strict-markers is on.
• [tool.coverage.report]: fail_under = 85 at root.
• [tool.mypy]: python_version = "3.12" with strict-leaning flags (disallow_untyped_defs, warn_unused_ignores, etc.).
• [tool.uv.workspace] members: plugins/abstract, plugins/leyline, plugins/conserve, plugins/core (a minimal set for linting, not all 26 plugin dirs).
• [tool.bandit] skips: B101, B103, B105, B108, B110, B112, B310, B311, B404, B603, B607, B608. Each skip has an inline rationale comment in the file. Keep that pattern when adding one.

Manifest trio and the two semver namespaces

Each plugin ships three manifests that must stay in sync:

• .claude-plugin/plugin.json: name, version, component arrays.
• .claude-plugin/metadata.json: version, dependencies, provides, claude integration block.
• openpackage.yml: cross-framework manifest (name, version, description, keywords).

Two distinct semver namespaces appear in metadata.json and are easy to confuse:

1. The ecosystem version ("version": "1.9.15"), bumped in lockstep from marketplace.json by plugins/sanctum/scripts/update_versions.py <version>.
2. Capability dependency ranges, for example imbue declares "dependencies": {"abstract": ">=2.0.0"}. That 2.0.0 is a capability-contract version, NOT the marketplace version. Do not "fix" it to 1.9.x during a bump.

Environment variables

Experimental and opt-in flags

Both current experiments follow the same pattern: default off, guard tests, blocking behavior only on explicit opt-in.

egregore completion_integrity

• Key: pipeline.completion_integrity, a bool defaulting to False in the PipelineConfig dataclass at plugins/egregore/scripts/config.py (line 49 at compile time).
• Stored in the target repo's .egregore/config.json, read by the summon skill alongside .egregore/manifest.json.
• When True: a quality verdict of "fix-required" becomes a step failure (cannot advance to ship) and merge is held for human review regardless of auto_merge.
• Guards: plugins/egregore/tests/test_config.py covers the False default, the opt-in roundtrip, and loading from a hand-written raw JSON file.

herald LLM second shot

• The Stop hook itself is production (registered in plugins/herald/hooks/hooks.json with timeout: 10).
• The LLM tiebreaker is gated three ways: DOUBLE_SHOT_LATTE_LLM must be "1", judge mode must not be active, and the turn must land on the single ambiguous outcome (every confident verdict skips the LLM entirely).
• LLM_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 8 is deliberately under the 10-second registered budget. A value above the budget once made the harness kill the hook before any verdict (full record: night-market-failure-archaeology SB7). A guard test now asserts the ordering. Never raise the LLM timeout without checking the registered budget first.

Adding a config axis

Checklist for any new flag, threshold, or env var:

• Default preserves current behavior (default off, or the value the system already exhibits).
• A guard test asserts the default AND the opt-in path, including loading from raw serialized config (model: plugins/egregore/tests/test_config.py).
• Env vars validate their input and fall back to the default on unknown values with a warning (model: plugins/conserve/hooks/session-start.sh).
• Any timeout inside a hook is asserted against the hook's registered budget in hooks.json.
• Add a row to the axis or env var table in this file, with status (production or experimental) and guard.
• Add a one-line re-verification command under Provenance.
• If the axis affects gating or review policy, update docs/quality-gates.md and route the change through night-market-change-control.

When NOT to use

• Running tests, lint, gates, or releases: use night-market-operations.
• Deciding whether a config change is allowed at all, or how to review it: use night-market-change-control.
• Plugin/skill/hook mechanics (what hooks.json fields mean, how manifests load): use claude-code-plugin-reference.
• Recreating the toolchain (uv, Python versions, skrills): use night-market-build-and-env.
• Diagnosing a broken gate or hook: use night-market-debugging-playbook.

Exit Criteria

• Every re-verification command under Provenance exits 0 and its output matches the value stated in this catalog.
• jq -r '.version' .claude-plugin/marketplace.json equals the version in each plugin's plugin.json, metadata.json, and openpackage.yml (spot-check at least one plugin).
• rg -l "coverage_threshold" plugins/*/pyproject.toml | wc -l returns 20. Any other count means this catalog is stale and must be updated before use.
• rg -n "completion_integrity: bool = False" plugins/egregore/scripts/config.py matches. If the default changed, the Experimental section here is wrong and must be rewritten.
• A new config axis added by the current change appears in the axis or env var table with a guard and a re-verification one-liner.

Known drift risks: pre-commit rev: pins (guarded by scripts/check_pinned_versions.py), the coverage-threshold file count (20 at compile time), the egregore config.py line number, and the promotion status of the two experimental flags (see night-market-completion-integrity-campaign for the promotion question).
