+
+## Summary
+
+Hands-on takeover for kiwifs/kiwifs#325 after prior fleet agent reported
+delivery without verifiable committed diff.
+
+## Actions
+
+1. Verified branch `feat/issue-325-runbook-init-template-clean` against `origin/main`.
+2. Confirmed UC-6 runbook scaffold, JSON Schema, embed filter, and regression tests.
+3. Linked `services/` stubs and `playbook.md` from `index.md` to reduce orphan info issues.
+4. Ran `go test ./internal/workspace/... ./cmd/... -run 'Runbook|runbook|Embed|Filtered|InitCheck'` — PASS.
+5. Committed `37118ca` and pushed to `fork/feat/issue-325-runbook-embed-filter-delivery`.
+6. Opened PR against kiwifs/kiwifs main with `Closes #325`.
+
+## Test output
+
+```
+go test ./internal/workspace/... ./cmd/... -count=1 -run 'Runbook|runbook|Embed|Filtered|InitCheck'
+ok  	github.com/kiwifs/kiwifs/internal/workspace
+ok  	github.com/kiwifs/kiwifs/cmd
+```
+
+`TestRunbookInitCheckPasses`: exit 0 (9 info-level issues, no errors).
+
+## Kiwi depot

+MCP gateway unavailable; fix doc updated locally at

+
+## Task
+
+Deliver verified code for kiwifs/kiwifs#325 — runbook init template and frontmatter schema.
+Prior fleet agent had docs-only commit with no source diff.
+
+## Actions
+
+1. Cherry-picked embed filter commit (`64d2fd4`) onto `feat/issue-325-runbook-init-template-clean`
+2. Added `embed_filter.go` wrapping `go:embed` to exclude dev-only legacy template paths
+3. Added service stubs (`services/api-service.md`, `services/monitoring.md`) for example runbook wiki links
+4. Extended regression tests for embed visibility and scaffold paths
+5. Resolved fix doc merge conflict; updated peer review status
+
+## Tests
+
+```
+go test ./internal/workspace/... -count=1 -run 'Runbook|Embed|Filtered'  → PASS
+go test ./cmd/... -count=1 -run 'Runbook'                               → PASS
+```
+
+## Outcome
+
+Source diff delivered with green tests. Ready for PR with `Closes #325`.

+# Issue #325 — runbook init template embed filter hardening
+
+## Context
+
+Hands-on delivery for kiwifs/kiwifs#325 on branch `feat/issue-325-runbook-init-template-clean`.
+UC-6 runbook scaffold already shipped on main (PR #459 monorepo import) but issue
+remains open. Added embed-filter hardening and service stubs so `kiwifs init --template runbook`
+stays lint-clean when legacy dev paths exist on disk.
+
+## Pre-search
+
+- Local fix docs: `pages/fixes/kiwifs-kiwifs/issue-325-runbook-init-template.md`,
+  `pages/fixes/kiwifs-kiwifs/issue-325-runbook-embed-filter.md`
+- Kiwi MCP gateway unavailable; cluster HTTP search failed (connection refused)
+
+## Root cause
+
+`//go:embed all:templates` can ship local dev scaffolds (legacy runbook `incidents/`,
+`postmortems/`, `procedures/`, superseded `knowledge/`, dev-only research paths) that
+contain placeholder wiki links. Those break `schema.Lint` and fail the acceptance
+criterion that `kiwifs check` passes on generated workspaces.
+
+## Changes
+
+1. `embed_filter.go` — wrap embedded FS to exclude dev-only template paths
+2. `embed_filter_test.go` — path filter unit tests
+3. `init.go` — use filtered FS for template copy
+4. Service stubs `services/api-service.md`, `services/monitoring.md` for example runbook links
+5. Regression tests updated for scaffold paths and embed visibility
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+go test ./internal/workspace/... ./cmd/... -run 'Runbook|runbook|Embed|Filtered' -count=1 -p 1  # PASS
+go test ./internal/workspace/... ./cmd/... -run 'InitRunbook|InitCheck' -count=1 -p 1           # PASS
+```
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+| Criterion | Status |
+|-----------|--------|
+| `kiwifs init --template runbook` scaffolds workspace | PASS |
+| Example runbook has 7 sections + fenced code blocks | PASS |
+| JSON Schema validates required frontmatter | PASS |
+| `kiwifs check` passes on generated scaffold | PASS |
+
+## Outcome
+
+Branch ready for fleet publish (push + PR closing #325). No Cursor attribution in commits.

+# Issue #325 — runbook init template verification
+
+## Context
+
+Autonomous pickup of kiwifs/kiwifs#325 on branch `feat/issue-325-runbook-init-template-clean`
+(from `main`). UC-6 runbook init template shipped in the initial import; issue remains open
+because PR #418 was closed without merge. This session re-verified acceptance criteria and
+prepared fleet publish.
+
+## Pre-search
+
+- Kiwi MCP gateway unavailable (no MCP servers registered).
+- Kiwi depot REST (`192.168.167.240:3333`) unreachable (connection refused).
+- Read local fix doc: `pages/fixes/kiwifs-kiwifs/issue-325-runbook-init-template.md`.
+
+## Verification
+
+1. Confirmed UC-6 scaffold under `internal/workspace/templates/runbook/`:
+   `SCHEMA.md`, `index.md`, `example-high-cpu.md`, `.kiwi/schemas/runbook.json`,
+   `.kiwi/templates/runbook.md`, `.kiwi/config.toml`, `playbook.md`.
+2. `runbook` registered in `cmd/init.go` flag help, example, and `internal/workspace/init.go` switch.
+3. `go test ./internal/workspace/... -run 'Runbook|runbook' -count=1` — PASS.
+4. `go test ./cmd/... -run 'Runbook|runbook' -count=1` — PASS (includes `TestRunbookInitCheckPasses`).
+5. Full `go test ./...` — root package setup failed (missing `ui/dist` embed); unrelated to runbook.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+| Criterion | Status |
+|-----------|--------|
+| `kiwifs init --template runbook` scaffolds workspace | PASS |
+| Example runbook has 7 sections + fenced code blocks | PASS |
+| JSON Schema validates required frontmatter | PASS |
+| `kiwifs check` passes on generated scaffold | PASS |
+
+## Outcome
+
+Issue #325 implementation complete on `main`. Fleet agent should open PR with `Closes #325`
+from `feat/issue-325-runbook-init-template-clean` (verification docs commit).

 ## Problem
@@ -21,55 +20,51 @@ runbook workspace. Users needed a JSON Schema for frontmatter (`trigger`, `sever
 `owner`, `services`), a worked example in the DevHelm 7-section format, a blank template,
 and regression tests so `kiwifs check` passes on the generated scaffold.
 
-The prior runbook template used a different layout (`incidents/`, `procedures/`,
-`postmortems/`) without schema validation or the UC-6 section structure.
+Additionally, `//go:embed all:templates` could ship local dev scaffolds (legacy
+`incidents/`, `postmortems/`, `procedures/`, superseded `knowledge/`) containing
+placeholder wiki links that fail lint on generated workspaces.
 
 ## Root cause
 
-The embedded runbook template predated UC-6 conventions. It lacked:
-
-1. `.kiwi/schemas/runbook.json` with required frontmatter fields
-2. A single reference runbook (`example-high-cpu.md`) demonstrating all seven sections
-3. Registration in `cmd/init.go` help text and examples
-4. Regression tests for schema validation, scaffold paths, and lint cleanliness
+1. The embedded runbook template predated UC-6 conventions — missing schema, 7-section
+   example, and CLI registration.
+2. Go embed includes all files on disk under `templates/`, not just git-tracked paths.
+   Dev-only directories with broken placeholder links could leak into init scaffolds.
 
 ## Solution
 
-Replace the legacy runbook scaffold with UC-6 DevHelm format:
-
-1. **Template files** under `internal/workspace/templates/runbook/`:
-   - `SCHEMA.md` — structure, frontmatter table, severity guide, execution staleness
-   - `index.md` — table of contents with DQL query for active runbooks
-   - `example-high-cpu.md` — full 7-section example with fenced bash blocks and expected output
+1. **UC-6 template** under `internal/workspace/templates/runbook/`:
+   - `SCHEMA.md`, `index.md`, `example-high-cpu.md` (7 sections + fenced bash blocks)
    - `.kiwi/schemas/runbook.json` — validates `type`, `title`, `trigger`, `severity`, `owner`, `services`
    - `.kiwi/templates/runbook.md` — blank 7-section scaffold
-   - `.kiwi/config.toml` — execution staleness janitor, typed `services` links, auth guidance
-   - `playbook.md` — MCP agent operations for execute/create/maintain
+   - `.kiwi/config.toml` — execution staleness janitor, typed `services` links
+   - `services/api-service.md`, `services/monitoring.md` — wiki-link targets for example runbook
 
-2. **Registration** — `runbook` already in `internal/workspace/init.go` switch; added to
-   `cmd/init.go` flag help and example.
+2. **Registration** — `runbook` in `internal/workspace/init.go` switch; `cmd/init.go` flag help and example.
 
-3. **Removed legacy paths** — `incidents/`, `postmortems/`, `procedures/` subdirs replaced
-   by flat runbook files and `.kiwi/` schema/template.
+3. **Embed filter** — `filteredTemplatesFS` in `embed_filter.go` excludes dev-only paths
+   from init copy while keeping UC-6 scaffold files visible.
