refactor(dir-config): single source of truth for workspace routing

[khustup2]

The problem, stated once

.hivemind routing kept breaking because it was wired writer-by-writer. Every code path that built a DeeplakeApi from a raw loadConfig() silently used the global workspace instead of the directory's routed one. We shipped it, then found the gap in reads (#316), then skillify (#317), and the audit found the same latent bug in goals, rules, and the Codex/Cursor/Hermes memory hooks. Patching per-report is a treadmill — the next unrouted writer is always one report away.

This makes the whole class impossible to reintroduce.

The fix: one entry point + a guard

loadRoutedConfig(cwd) in src/dir-config.ts is now the single source of truth. It folds the nearest .hivemind (and the HIVEMIND_* env locks, via resolveDirConfig) in one place, and returns Config | null — a drop-in for loadConfig(). Every workspace-touching site now goes through it:

• CLI writers/readers: goal, rules, context, skillify (push/pull), flush-memory
• Other-agent memory hooks: codex / cursor / hermes pre-tool-use (only Claude's was routed before — the multi-agent product routed for exactly one agent)
• session-start-setup, skillify auto-pull, skillopt-worker
• mcp/server, graph deeplake-pull (symmetric with the already-routed push)

The guard — tests/shared/dir-config-single-source.test.ts — enumerates every new DeeplakeApi( site and fails the build unless it routes or is explicitly allow-listed with a reason. Adding a new construction site now forces a choice: route it, or justify why not. A silent unrouted writer can't merge. (Verified: reverting any migrated file to raw loadConfig trips it.)

Five sites are allow-listed with documented reasons: session-prune (account-level), docs (separate per-(org,repo) consent model), cowork-ingest (desktop, no directory context), and the two creds-based display reads resume-brief / open-goals.

Supersedes #317

This folds in the skillify-only fix. Close #317 in favor of this.

Deliberately not routed (tracked follow-up)

resume-brief and open-goals build from creds.workspaceId, not loadConfig — routing them means threading a resolved workspace into fetchOpenGoals, a different change from a loadConfig swap. They read/display global data (low severity), and they're allow-listed so the guard stays honest about it. docs is a separate routing question tied to its consent model.

Verification

• Behavioral: skillify-dir-routing.test.ts proves loadRoutedConfig routes end-to-end (asserts the workspace the DeeplakeApi is built against — the URL path where writes land). Fails against unrouted code.
• Guard: catches a reverted file with an actionable message.
• Typecheck clean; no new suite failures (the 14 pre-existing are the tree-sitter-python graph suites + the flush-memory network test, all green in CI); touched files clear their per-file coverage gates (auto-pull branch coverage raised with a default-path test).

What DevOps sees after this

.hivemind routes consistently across sessions, skills, goals, rules, and every agent — one identity, reads and writes alike. collect:false still gates capture only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Commands and integrations now automatically use the workspace-specific configuration found in the nearest .hivemind directory.
  • Improved reliability for context, memory, goals, rules, skills, snapshots, hooks, and MCP operations when working across multiple workspaces.
  • Skill synchronization now correctly targets the active workspace instead of falling back to a global configuration.
  • Added coverage to verify configuration routing, including nested workspace directories and fallback behavior.

297-298: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert on the specific success state.

Instead of a negative assertion that the pull didn't fail due to being "not-logged-in", explicitly assert that the pull was successful. This ensures the test fails if it errors out for another reason (e.g., returning "error"). As per path instructions, prefer asserting on specific values.

♻️ Proposed fix

-    expect(result.reason).not.toBe("not-logged-in");
-    expect(calls.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+    expect(result.skipped).toBe(false);
+    expect(calls.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
