State the Bootstrap's Archive Live Channel in Two Skills

[ptr727]

Summary

• check-this-repo "What it checks" step 1 now reads the live block by its shape. A vcs: archive tree is the one the hub bootstrap keeps: branch: null there does not mean detached, a live.commit behind main or null is the finding, and re-running bootstrap.sh --skills or bootstrap.ps1 -Skills is the fix, with --dir or -Dir where the tree was kept outside the default. The git case is keyed on no vcs and a non-null commit, and every other shape is an unregistered or unreadable channel.
• merge-and-release step 7 states that an archive live channel holds what the bootstrap fetched until the bootstrap's skills action runs again, which that step does not do.
• Distributions are regenerated with scripts/build_dist.py, and --check is clean.

The same framing in docs/host-setup.md "Fleet Skills Install" is filed as #2236.

Closes on promotion: #1772

Copilot review overview

🟢 Approval recommended

It is a documentation-only Skill update whose new text I verified as accurate against skills_install.py and the bootstrap scripts, consistent across all generated copies, and conformant with the repository's prose conventions.

Review effort: Balanced
Findings: None

What changed in this PR

This documentation-only change updates two agent Skills to describe the Claude Code "live" skills channel when it is served by an archive tree (a tree the host bootstrap keeps) rather than a git checkout. Since a bootstrapped host registers the plugin against a tree that has no git, skills_install.py --report describes that channel as live.vcs: archive with branch: null, and the prior text framed the live channel only as a git checkout. The two Skills now read the live block by shape so an agent diagnoses and remediates the archive case correctly (re-running bootstrap.sh --skills / bootstrap.ps1 -Skills) instead of treating branch: null as a detached checkout.

Changes:

• check-this-repo step 1 now branches on live shape: vcs: archive (serves the kept tree; null/behind live.commit is the finding; bootstrap re-run is the fix, with --dir/-Dir where kept off-default), the git case (no vcs + non-null commit), and a catch-all that reads reason.
• merge-and-release step 7 states that an archive live channel holds what the bootstrap fetched until the bootstrap's skills action runs again, which that step does not do.
• Distributions regenerated: the .github/skills/ and .claude-plugin/fleet-skills/ copies and the two .claude-plugin source digests were updated from the .agents/skills/ source.

I verified the new prose against the implementation: live_channel() returns vcs: archive, branch: null, and a nullable commit for bootstrap trees (scripts/skills_install.py:413-420); --dir/-Dir names the parent of the kept skills-tree directory (host-setup/bootstrap.sh:67, host-setup/bootstrap.ps1:112); and --skills/-Skills flags exist. The three SKILL.md copies are byte-identical and the prose is ASCII-clean, free of mid-sentence semicolons, and within the ~100-column wrap used across .agents/skills/.
