ZacharyZhang-NY e74dafcd36 Silence render-disposed spam, unbreak bundled skills, drop board wake
Three independently ugly bugs that all fed the same log flood:

* Electron's `WebFrameMain.send` writes every "Render frame was disposed"
  to stderr via `console.error`. When the worker fans a second
  agent-event past a reloading renderer, we produced thousands of
  identical lines and stalled the main loop on stderr I/O. Added a
  `mainFrame.detached` guard so the send is short-circuited before
  Electron's own catch block fires, and installed a targeted filter in
  `suppress-warnings.ts` (now actually imported from the entry point)
  so the specific `console.error("Error sending from webFrameMain:"…)`
  noise never reaches the terminal. Any other payload still surfaces.

* `dispatchAgentMessage` accepted the human-reader sentinel as a wake
  target when an agent replied to `__board__` — `wakeAgentIfPossible`
  then called `db.getAgent("__board__")`, threw, and the dispatcher
  kept repeating on every send. Strip `HUMAN_SENDER_ID` at
  `resolveMessageWakeTargets`, and keep a defense-in-depth guard in the
  heartbeat so a stray caller (future automation fan-out) cannot
  reintroduce the crash.

* Pi's skills loader rejects any SKILL.md whose frontmatter `name`
  diverges from its parent directory. The four bundled `my-writing-style`
  copies declared `name: writing-style-skill`, so every install emitted
  a warning and dropped the skill. They also lived as orphan gitlinks
  (mode 160000 without .gitmodules), and the global `*.md` gitignore
  hid every other SKILL.md from version control. Fixed the frontmatter
  to match the dir, converted the dangling submodules to plain trees,
  and allowlisted `builtin-skills/**/*.md` so a fresh clone carries the
  catalogue instead of silently losing it.

Avoid Framework Imports in Inner Layers CRITICAL prevents framework lock-in, enables 10× faster unit tests dep, frameworks, imports, isolation

Avoid Framework Imports in Inner Layers

Entities and use cases must never import framework-specific types. Framework dependencies in inner layers create tight coupling that makes testing slow and migration impossible.

Incorrect (use case imports framework types):

// Application/UseCases/ProcessPaymentUseCase.cs
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

public class ProcessPaymentUseCase
{
    private readonly DbContext _context;  // EF Core dependency
    private readonly IHttpContextAccessor _http;  // ASP.NET dependency

    public async Task Execute(PaymentRequest request)
    {
        var userId = _http.HttpContext.User.Identity.Name;
        var payment = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Payment>(request.Data);
        _context.Payments.Add(payment);
        await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
    }
}

Correct (use case depends only on abstractions):

// Application/UseCases/ProcessPaymentUseCase.cs
// No framework imports

public class ProcessPaymentUseCase
{
    private readonly IPaymentRepository _payments;
    private readonly ICurrentUserProvider _currentUser;

    public async Task Execute(PaymentCommand command)
    {
        var userId = _currentUser.GetUserId();
        var payment = new Payment(command.Amount, command.Currency, userId);
        await _payments.Save(payment);
    }
}

// Infrastructure/Persistence/EfPaymentRepository.cs
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

public class EfPaymentRepository : IPaymentRepository
{
    private readonly DbContext _context;
    // Framework usage isolated to infrastructure
}

Benefits:

  • Use case tests run without framework bootstrapping
  • Framework can be upgraded or replaced independently
  • Business logic remains readable without framework noise
