WalkthroughThe workspace plugin updates project-index consolidation and update instructions. The script handles Progress narrative content, enforces a 100-line threshold in its results, and adds tests. Both plugin version declarations change from 0.2.8 to 0.3.0. ChangesWorkspace project index
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Change: Feature Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A qualifying Progress section can leave a fenced example malformed in the project index when it contains a heading-like line.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winCorrect the non-checklist-content rule.
## Progressis an exception to both qualification and handling. Plain bullets and paragraphs count toward its threshold. When it qualifies, the script moves them fromCLAUDE.mdtoprogress-archive.mdand leaves a pointer. Non-checklist content in other sections remains untouched. State this exception without implying that the narrative content is lost.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Line 165: Update the to_archive calculation to always select only checked
items older than KEEP_RECENT by slicing checked[:-KEEP_RECENT], preserving
recent checked items in the replacement and keeping archive reporting
consistent.
In `@plugins/workspace/skills/consolidate-project/SKILL.md`:
- Line 49: Update the over_threshold_no_sections handling in
consolidate-project.py so it reads and displays result.error rather than
result.message before stopping, preserving the existing status-specific early
exit.
In `@plugins/workspace/skills/update-project/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 119-125: Update the hard-cap guidance in both the Lean Index Rules
and the dispatched agent prompt to trigger consolidation when CLAUDE.md is
already over 100 lines or the edit would exceed the cap. Explicitly require
manually moving content to a detail file when consolidation returns
over_threshold_no_sections, and preserve the stop condition requiring CLAUDE.md
to remain within 100 lines before applying updates.
In `@plugins/workspace/tests/test_consolidate_project.py`:
- Around line 109-116: Add a negative test alongside
test_prose_paragraphs_also_count using fewer than ten checked items, plus plain
bullets or paragraph text under a non-Progress heading, and assert the
consolidation result is already_lean. Ensure the scenario verifies that only
narrative content under the Progress section is counted, preserving the
self.name == NARRATIVE_SECTION boundary.

Resolve conflicts from main's fork-based update-project rewrite (PRs openshift-eng#294, openshift-eng#297): keep main's fork-dispatch architecture, graft in this branch's Lean Index Rules and 100-line hard cap into Steps 3-4. Take plugin version 0.3.0 (ours) over main's 0.2.8, since it's already a correct minor bump past main's current version. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

CLAUDE.mdfiles managed by theworkspaceplugin could bloat over time:update-project's dispatch prompt had no line cap or anti-narrative rule, andconsolidate-project.pyonly detected bloat shaped like 10+ checked checklist items in one section — it missed narrative bullets/paragraphs and never flagged a file that was simply too long overall.consolidate-project.py: detects plain-bullet/paragraph narrative under## Progresstoward the existing per-section threshold, and flags whole-file overflow (over_threshold_no_sectionsstatus,over_line_threshold/line_thresholdfields) even when no section individually qualifies.consolidate-project/SKILL.mddocuments the new status.update-project/SKILL.md: new "Lean Index Rules" section (one line per milestone, replace-don't-append, narrative → detail file, 100-line hard cap) embedded directly in the background-agent dispatch prompt, with line-count reporting and auto-consolidate-then-retry when the cap would be exceeded.workspaceplugin bumped 0.2.5 → 0.3.0 (new backward-compatible capabilities, no removals).Test plan
