Pulls in the latest repo-consistency agent from TemplateDotNetLibrary and runs it to propagate outstanding template improvements. Also performs an exhaustive review of TemplateDotNetTool PRs and applies all applicable changes, including a comprehensive docs folder restructuring and ReviewMark integration.

Description

Agent update: Replaces the verbose old repo-consistency-agent.md with the new concise frontmatter-driven format (name, description, tools, user-invocable).

Linting infrastructure overhaul:

  • Migrated configs from JSON/JSONC → YAML: .cspell.yaml, .markdownlint-cli2.yaml
  • Updated .yamllint.yaml with DO NOT MODIFY headers and expanded ignore paths
  • Rewrote lint.sh / lint.bat to use npm install + Python .venv pattern; collects all errors before failing; added dotnet format --verify-no-changes after yamllint check
  • Added pip-requirements.txt (yamllint==1.38.0) and pinned cspell/markdownlint-cli2 in package.json
  • Added .venv/ to .gitignore

CI workflow: Replaced three separate linting Actions with a single bash ./lint.sh step backed by actions/setup-node@v6 and actions/setup-python@v6.

Agent frontmatter: Added tools: and user-invocable: true to all five agent files. Fixed all agent name: fields to use lowercase kebab-case (code-quality, requirements, software-developer, technical-writer, test-developer) for correct @agent invocation syntax — aligns with TemplateDotNetTool PR #61.

Git/repo hygiene:

  • Added .gitattributes enforcing LF for all text files, CRLF for .bat/.cmd
  • Bumped BuildMark 0.4.00.4.1

Release workflow: Removed redundant "Move buildnotes.md to root" step; bodyFile now references artifacts/buildnotes.md directly — aligns with TemplateDotNetTool PR #75.

Docs restructuring (aligns with TemplateDotNetTool PRs #52, #54, #58):

  • Renamed docs/buildnotes/docs/build_notes/ and docs/buildnotes.mddocs/build_notes.md
  • Renamed docs/quality/docs/code_quality/
  • Merged docs/requirements/ + docs/justifications/docs/requirements_doc/
  • Renamed docs/tracematrix/docs/requirements_report/ (output file renamed tracematrix.mdtrace_matrix.md)
  • Added docs/code_review_plan/ and docs/code_review_report/ for ReviewMark plan and report documents
  • Added docs/reqstream/ containing OTS software requirement yamls (ots-buildmark.yaml, ots-mstest.yaml, ots-reqstream.yaml, ots-reviewmark.yaml, ots-sarifmark.yaml, ots-sonarmark.yaml, ots-versionmark.yaml), platform-requirements.yaml, and unit requirement yamls (unit-nuget-cache.yaml, unit-path-helpers.yaml)
  • Updated all definition.yaml files to reference new folder paths

ReviewMark integration:

  • Added .reviewmark.yaml defining review sets for NuGetCache, PathHelpers, Platform-Support, and OTS-Dependencies
  • Added ReviewMark self-validation and generation steps to build.yaml
  • Added new PDF outputs for Review Plan and Review Report
  • Added demaconsulting.reviewmark to .config/dotnet-tools.json (version 0.1.0)
  • Added reviewmark tool definition to .versionmark.yaml with pre-release version suffix support

Build workflow: Updated all doc path references in build.yaml to match renamed folders; added reviewmark to tool version capture; removed the now-merged justifications pandoc/weasyprint steps.

Agent docs: Updated AGENTS.md agent list to kebab-case names and updated Agent Selection Guide to use @agent call syntax with context/goal framing — aligns with TemplateDotNetTool PR #67. Fixed stale .cspell.json references → .cspell.yaml in code-quality-agent.md and technical-writer.md.

requirements.yaml: Added OTS ReviewMark requirement.

Pull request overview

This PR syncs the repository with recent TemplateDotNetLibrary template improvements, primarily modernizing agent metadata/frontmatter and consolidating linting/configuration into a single script-driven workflow used both locally and in CI.

Changes:

  • Migrate lint configs to YAML and introduce unified lint.sh / lint.bat with npm + Python venv bootstrapping.
  • Simplify CI linting by replacing multiple lint Actions with a single bash ./lint.sh step (plus Node/Python setup).
  • Update agent definitions to frontmatter-driven format and apply repo hygiene updates (e.g., .gitattributes, tool version bump).

@copilot Something is still a miss - how come all the docs folders don't match.

  - ots-versionmark.yaml, platform-requirements.yaml
  - unit-nuget-cache.yaml, unit-path-helpers.yaml

@copilot Something is still a miss - how come all the docs folders don't match. You need to actually inspect the docs folders in https://github.com/demaconsulting/TemplateDotNetTool ...

Applied comprehensive docs restructuring in 62a3ae6 to match TemplateDotNetTool:

Folder renames:

  • docs/buildnotes/docs/build_notes/
  • docs/quality/docs/code_quality/
  • docs/requirements/ + docs/justifications/ → merged into docs/requirements_doc/
  • docs/tracematrix/docs/requirements_report/
  • docs/buildnotes.mddocs/build_notes.md

New additions:

  • docs/code_review_plan/ — ReviewMark review plan docs
  • docs/code_review_report/ — ReviewMark review report docs
  • docs/reqstream/ — OTS software requirements (7 ots-*.yaml files) + unit requirements (platform-requirements.yaml, unit-nuget-cache.yaml, unit-path-helpers.yaml)
  • .reviewmark.yaml — ReviewMark configuration

build.yaml updated with: renamed paths throughout, ReviewMark self-validation step, ReviewMark generation step, new PDF outputs for review plan and report.

@copilot The build encountered the following problem:

Run echo "Capturing tool versions..."
Capturing tool versions...
VersionMark version 1.0.0+9448ef56aa3d377c7f48bf619a9b7d97484edbb5
Copyright (c) DEMA Consulting

Capturing tool versions for job 'build-docs'...
Output file: artifacts/versionmark-build-docs.json
Capturing 12 tool(s)...
Error: Tool 'reviewmark' not found in configuration

I believe updates to the .versionmark.yaml file may not have been correctly pulled in from the template.

...

Fixed in 4ceb49c. Added reviewmark to both .versionmark.yaml (with the demaconsulting.reviewmark tool definition) and .config/dotnet-tools.json (version 0.1.0), matching the TemplateDotNetTool pattern. Also updated the regex patterns in .versionmark.yaml to include the pre-release suffix (?:-[a-zA-Z0-9.]+)? for consistency with the template.
