V0.9.0/finalization

[gimlichael]

This pull request updates the documentation to clarify and strengthen the requirements for synchronizing repo-managed skills across local installs. The changes emphasize that the repository is the source of truth, and introduce a PowerShell script (scripts/sync-skill-install.ps1) as the authoritative way to sync and verify skill installations. The documentation now treats running this script as a mandatory, blocking completion gate, and describes how to use it, why partial or remembered file lists are insufficient, and what counts as proof of sync.

Key documentation improvements:

Skill synchronization process:

• Replaces manual file copy instructions with a single command: pwsh -NoProfile -File ./scripts/sync-skill-install.ps1 -Skill <name>, which syncs the entire skill tree to all local installs and verifies SHA-256 hashes across all locations. The script also supports verification-only and pruning of orphaned files.
• Clarifies that the repository copy is always authoritative, and any edits made in local installs must be mirrored back to the repo before syncing.

Blocking completion gate:

• Documents that running the sync script is a required, last-step blocking gate before reporting completion—no earlier or partial sync is sufficient, and claims of sync must be backed by the script's output in the same response. [1] [2]
• Updates the README to reflect that only the script's output is acceptable proof of sync, and that syncing a remembered list of files or relying on a previous run is not sufficient.

Changelog update:

• No changes to the sync process are mentioned in the changelog, but the documentation now consistently refers to the script-based approach for skill synchronization.

Greptile Summary

The PR expands the .NET testing skills and introduces a repository-authoritative script for synchronizing complete skill trees across installed hosts.

• Adds hash-based skill synchronization, verification-only operation, pruning, traversal validation, and missing-install handling.
• Extends remote testing with build-tool preparation, Git metadata staging, richer test-result reporting, and new multi-environment fixtures.
• Refines .NET test discovery and functional-test guidance, fixtures, evaluations, and validation coverage.
• Updates repository guidance, README documentation, and changelog entries to describe the new workflows and completion gates.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
scripts/sync-skill-install.ps1	Adds whole-tree synchronization and hash verification, with the previously reported missing-install and traversal paths now guarded.
skills/dotnet-remote-testing/scripts/remote-test.cs	Adds image preparation, identity restoration, standalone Git metadata staging, multi-target result aggregation, and expanded failure reporting; the displayed prior defects are addressed.
skills/dotnet-test/scripts/inspect-dotnet-tests.ps1	Extends test-project inspection and postcondition validation in coordination with updated skill guidance and regression coverage.
