   Thanks for the report. I understood this as: the harness-ops plugins skill states plugin auto-update happens "at session start" in three places (gotchas.md, render-report.jq's rendered string, and the withheld-downgrade.txt golden fixture), but the actual behavior per Anthropic's docs is that auto-update runs during interactive sessions after the first message, following a random delay — not strictly at session start. I confirmed all three cited locations currently use the "session start" wording. The proposed fix (pointing gotchas.md at the docs section with an as-of date and recheck trigger, correcting the render string and golden, plus a CHANGELOG entry and version bump) looks well scoped and consistent with this repo's conventions. No duplicates found; this is a split-out item from #6055 and is independent of its other items, though it may conflict with the #6182–#6187 cluster on plugin.json/CHANGELOG as noted.

   _{Automated triage. A maintainer reviews it.}

   Ratify autonomous dispatch of this C3 item?

   Classification: work-class: scoped (C3). Intended dispatch: the work-loop worker lane, through /work-items:work, to a draft PR the lane never merges, after its blocked-by edges clear. Harness-ops items run one at a time. The first-drain gate dispatches a C3 item only on a ratification reply to this marker. A decision comment or an operator-ratified note in the body is context, not dispatch authority. So it is queued here, keeping its labels, until /work-items:attend-queue records the reply.

   Lane: work-loop, instance melo-worker-1, cycle 1.

   Operator ratification (2026-10-04): ratified as C3, bug-fix-shaped. This replies to the kind=ratify-c3 marker above. The operator's direction was "go with the recommendations, make them agent ready". The brief is in the earlier attend-queue decision comment or in the issue body; follow any blocked-by edge on this item.
